The Red Mansions

Chapter 759 Baochai: Sister Qin, what do you want her to do with the past?
Daming Palace, Kunning Palace

It was in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the hall was bright and resplendent. From time to time, a cool autumn breeze would enter the hall through the windows, and the tassels on the curtains would move with the wind.

Empress Song wore a pale yellow dress, her delicate green silk tied up with a phoenix-winged gilt hairpin to tie up a peach-heart bun, she was beautiful and jade-like, and her face was covered with powder and daisy, graceful and glamorous like a begonia flower, and a string of pearls was on her white and delicate neck. Necklace, under the crescent eyebrows, the eyebrows and eyes are full of smiles, and the fullness and maternal charm of the whole body are overflowing.

On the side is the noble concubine Duanrong. Because she often dances, the concubine Duanrong is like a plump and juicy peach compared to the empress of the Song Dynasty. Curved willow leaf eyebrows, after years of baptism, no wrinkles, the glamor of the girl and the elegance of the wife are entangled together, which is sultry.

On the embroidered pier not far away, there is a girl in a pink skirt and a blue skirt sitting, one is tall and bright, the other is petite and exquisite, combing the clouds and moon, youthful and elegant.

It was Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue.

The eldest princess of Jinyang, Chen Li, was wearing a long red dress, looking at Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue with eyes as soft as water, her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her jade face was like a hibiscus stamen, and her expression was peaceful.

Concubine Duanrong raised her eyes and looked at Princess Xianning's snowy skin and jade face seriously, and said softly: "Xianning, when you arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, don't pester Ziyu all the time, he is still busy with the errands assigned by your father. After a few days of Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be late autumn, and the weather is getting cold, so you should add two more clothes."

The explanation was fragmentary, but it was full of worries about his own daughter.

In fact, Liren still wanted to worry that Princess Xianning and Jia Heng, two young people who had been together for a long time, would do something that would harm the dignity of the royal family and be laughed at.

Princess Xianning responded lightly, her beautiful and beautiful face was well-behaved, and she said in a clear voice: "Mother Concubine, Mr. is busy with state affairs, I will not hinder him."

Empress Song smiled sweetly and said: "Sister, don't worry, her aunt will go with her."

As she said that, she looked at Princess Jinyang with soft eyes like water, and said softly: "Jinyang, Xianning and Chanyue are two children who have never traveled far, so you should take care of them on the way."

Princess Jinyang smiled coquettishly, and said softly: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will take good care of Xianning."

Concubine Duan Rong raised her eyes to look at Li Chanyue, and said: "Chanyue, you have never been to Jinling, you and your cousin should go for a walk, Jinling still has many interesting places."

Li Chanyue replied softly: "Yes, Aunt."

After the two beauties finished exhorting, Empress Song looked at Princess Jinyang and said softly, "Jinyang, when are you leaving?"

"Sister-in-law, the ship, the officials of the Kuaiji Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Lingshi have all been prepared, and we can leave tomorrow." Princess Jinyang said softly.

This time the past was obviously not to send... to the south for a trip, but to use the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help Jia Heng to rectify the Lianghuai salt affairs and get rid of the long-standing abuses of the salt law.

Empress Song took the teacup from the female officer's hand, her pink lips pressed against the porcelain cup, and said softly, "Jinyang, how did I hear that Jia's family also has relatives, and they went south with the boat?"

Don't be that Qin family, right?It was time to fight Xianning and Chanyue on the boat again.

Empress Song almost imagined a beauty's scheming in her heart.

Princess Jinyang said softly: "Tanchun and Xiangyun two girls, Yuan and Ziyu have made an agreement, the two of them want to go south with Yuanchun to visit Jinling, Ziyu also agreed, last time the two little girls followed Xianning and Chanyue went to Henan together, they are obedient and good children."

In the eyes of the beauty, Xiangyun and Tanchun are smaller than Chanyue, almost children.

Empress Song nodded, and said with a smile, "Tanchun is Yuanchun's younger sister, right? They follow together, and the road can be more lively. It's been a long time by boat, but it's quite boring."

Empress Song still knew about Tanchun and Xiangyun.

Princess Xianning said softly: "My queen, I also mean the same thing. There are more people on the road and it can be more lively."

Concubine Duanrong looked at the people who were talking, and said: "In the past two days, I heard from the people in front that there is a war in Jinling, so you don't have to hurry on the boat. When the situation in the south of the Yangtze River becomes clearer, you can go to Jinling again. Not too late."

Empress Song said: "Sister, don't worry, Ziyu is sitting in the south, so there should be no serious problems."

Noble Concubine Duanrong said softly: "It won't be too late to set off when the confirmation letter comes from over there."

It's not that she doesn't believe in her future son-in-law, but that everyone in the court said that water battles are different from land battles, and he has never fought water battles, so it's better to be more cautious.

Moreover, if she really loses the battle, there may be twists and turns in Xianning's future marriage.

Princess Xianning said with relief: "There are nearly [-] troops in Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps. There should be nothing wrong. With Mr. Bravery, the rebellion will be put down soon."

Li Chanyue blinked her starry eyes, and said in the same way: "Auntie, it will be half a month when we arrive in Henan. By then, Mr. Jia's side will be peaceful and smooth."

Empress Song smiled and said, "You two have a lot of trust in Jia Ziyu."

Looking at the two pretty sisters, he thought of her and his younger sister. When he was young, he trusted His Majesty to be omnipotent. After so many years, His Majesty was so busy with state affairs that he couldn't care about her and his younger sister anymore.

The younger sister entertains herself by dancing and playing the piano in the palace, but she still has to worry about her two children. If the East Palace is lost, what will the Song family do with their two children?

However, His Majesty has not yet made an accurate statement.

Just when Empress Song was puzzled, she suddenly heard the voice of the inner eunuch from outside the palace: "Your Majesty is here."

Yingyingyanyan, big and small in the hall, heard the words, got up one after another, went out of the inner hall, and looked at Emperor Chongping who came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty." Empress Song moved lightly with her lotus steps, approached and gave a blessing, the beautiful and flamboyant beauty came with graceful steps, the gold hairpin in a cloud bun swayed slightly, and between bending her body, under her snowy and delicate neck, The ravine was deep, but Emperor Chongping didn't even look at it.

Concubine Duanrong and Princess Jinyang also called out one after another.

"Excuse me." Emperor Chongping was obviously in a good mood, and said softly.

Empress Song stared and watched, keenly caught the joy on Emperor Chongping's face, smiled lightly, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, what is it that makes you so happy?"

"Zitong, Ziyu won the battle in the south of the Yangtze River, and won the Haimen. In the first battle, three hundred Zhengbai flags were wiped out, and four thousand pirates were captured. The navy of the captives can no longer threaten my old capital of the Han Dynasty." Chong Chong Emperor Ping spoke in a brisk tone, his joy could not be concealed on his cold and hard face.

As soon as these words came out, several people in Kunning Palace were stunned for a moment, and then joy overflowed on their faces.

Empress Song was slightly startled, and quickly exchanged glances with Concubine Duan Rong who was also surprised, both sisters breathed a sigh of relief.

The beauty's willow eyebrows are lightly raised, her beautiful eyes are rippling, and her round and jade voice is full of joy and tenderness that does not match her age. She said with a smile: "The concubine congratulates your majesty. The concubine said the day before yesterday that there is Ziyu here. In Nan Province, His Majesty can rest easy."

Beauty's phoenix eyes flickered, and joy filled her heart.

She was worried that Ziyu's defeat would affect her marriage with Xianning, but Ziyu really lived up to expectations and did not disappoint her and her sister. Even in the water battle, he still did not lose his courage.

Li Chanyue's pretty face was filled with joy, she looked at Princess Xianning, and said softly: "Cousin, Mr. Jia has won."

In the past few days, Li Chanyue and Princess Xianning were worried. In fact, the two sisters knew that if the war went against them, it would definitely affect their marriage.

Princess Xianning's bright eyes sparkled, and she asked, "Father, how did you fight this battle?"

Jinyang's eldest princess, Furong Yuyan, also had a bit of briskness on her face, and asked, "Brother, do you have a detailed battle report?"

At this moment in Shenjing, thousands of miles away, she can only perceive his moment and moment in this way.

Emperor Chongping ordered Dai Quan to take the memorial to Princess Jinyang, and said with emotion: "It was not easy for Ziyu to fight this battle. I heard the report of the defeat of the Zhenhai Navy. To help each other, it happened that Weigang in Tongzhou was besieged by the captives. After leading the troops to repel the captives, they entered the port to gather the defeated soldiers and motivate the generals. Great victory, morale is like a rainbow, on the other hand, the officers and soldiers are newly defeated and morale is low, it is really rare for Ziyu to win such a big victory."

Princess Jinyang listened to Emperor Chongping's narration, picked up the memorabilia and read it, a slight blush appeared on her snow-skinned and jade-like face, her eyes were full of autumn water, and she was still a little unsatisfied, and then she was about to close it when she saw Princess Qinghe stretching out her hand eagerly .

"Mother, my cousin and I will take a look." Li Chanyue said softly.

Princess Jinyang smiled and said, "Then I'll show you first, Mr. Jia, who has been worried about you these days, can't be too worried."

These words were intentionally mentioned in front of everyone, anyway Xianning is getting married, and Chanyue must not be left behind, the two are Ehuang and Nvying, and they are going to get married together.

Li Chanyue was teased in front of everyone, her heart was ashamed, her childish cheeks were as red as a peach pistil, her brows were drooping, she just stretched out her slender hand to take the memorial, and read it together with Princess Xianning.

Empress Song glanced at Li Chanyue with her phoenix eyes painted with rose-red eyeshadow, and smiled softly. If Ziyu's handsome young man can continue to make such outstanding achievements, Xianning and Chanyue marrying the same person will not be regarded as an insult to their honor. The appearance and character of the sisters.

On top of the history, it is also a good story.

Concubine Duanrong stared at Emperor Chongping with crystal clear eyes, and asked, "Your Majesty, since Ziyu won the battle in Nan Province, isn't it not long before he returns?"

If he could come back sooner, Xianning wouldn't have to look for him all the way.

Emperor Chongping sat down, shook his head, and said: "In recent years, the soldiers and horses in the southern province have been arrogant and lazy, and the military discipline has been lax. Worry, for all these things, it is necessary for Ziyu to organize an army to calm down the pirates, and I just gave him the title of Prince Taibao, so that he can supervise the army and suppress the pirates."

Emperor Chongping said, looking down at Princess Jinyang with his thin pine eyebrows, and asked, "Jinyang, is everything in Beijing ready?"

Princess Jinyang smiled, and said softly: "Brother Emperor, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is well-equipped with manpower, boats and boats, and the armored guards are also selected by the Jingying Xiaorui, and they can set off for the south tomorrow."

Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "Ziyu previously went to the Shu and mentioned that the Ministry of Internal Affairs tried to take over the Lianghuai salt affairs. The new law is very important and has not seen the whole picture. Ziyu has something to discuss, and what he sees and thinks, you can submit it to me."

The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "Don't worry, brother, my sister is thinking about it, and Chen Zuo will attend the meeting, and Ziyu should also attend the meeting."

"By the way, there are still some old vassals of Emperor Taizong's dynasty in Jinling City. After you arrive in Jinling, visit them on my behalf." Emperor Chongping urged again.

Princess Jinyang nodded again.

Song Empress listened to the two brothers and sisters talking, the phoenix eyes under Liu Yemei's eyebrows narrowed, and the smile on her face was a little dull.

At the beginning, her natal brother was almost going to be the head of the House of Internal Affairs, who would have thought that this little sister-in-law would be messed up.

At this time, Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue watched the battle report, the two sisters were emotionally excited, their eyes were soft and rippling, as they had close contact with Jia Heng, their lover won in the south of the Yangtze River, they were both proud and happy.

Li Chanyue's starry eyes were shining, and she said softly: "Cousin, Mr. Jia's battle seems to be difficult."

The more credit Mr. Jia made in Jiangnan, the closer the day when she and her cousin would marry.

Princess Xianning nodded, and said softly: "Although the military newspaper is an understatement, the thrills in it can still be imagined, that is, sir."

At the beginning, she was like a cousin sister, she just followed her husband to the south of the Yangtze River, and she could see him defeat the enemy army.

Emperor Chongping listened to the discussion of the two cousins, and said in his heart: "There are still [-] Zhengbai Banners here. I think I have fought against the enemy in the northern border these years. After a battle, I haven't seen many Zhengs. The Jurchen elite of the Eight Classics, this is a real credit to Ziyu."

If you don't feel that there is too much resistance from the DPRK and China, coupled with the way of preservation, you can actually barely seal the Marquis,
Princess Jinyang said softly: "After this battle, it can be seen that the Eastern Captives are no different from those pirates."

"What Jin Yang said was that in the past it wasn't that the Hulu were too strong, but that our Han army was so powerful that we retreated steadily when encountering the enemy. Thinking of Liu Han, Emperor Gao was besieged by Bai Deng, and later there was also a Han who was the Five Hu. The so-called Han people are not as brave as Jurchen, this statement is absurd." Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice.

The eldest princess of Jinyang said: "Emperor Wu used Wei Huo a lot, sealed the wolf as a xu, and now the emperor uses Jia Ziyu a lot. In the future, it will be just around the corner to recover Liaodong."

Speaking of which, Ziyu has some similarities with Wei Qing, Wei Qing married Princess Pingyang, and he and her Jinyang... Who would have thought that Xianning would get in the way.

Thinking of this, Princess Jinyang's beautiful eyes darkened, and she sighed inwardly.

How can I not care about it in my heart, I only blame good fortune for tricking people.

Empress Song smiled, then took over the conversation and said, "Your Majesty, Zi Yu has made such a great contribution, what will the concubine reward the Qin family?"

The Qin family is a bit pitiful, Xianning and Chanyue will enter the mansion in the future. At that time, no one in the world will only remember that Jia Ziyu married a princess and a princess, and the Qin family...

Emperor Chongping nodded, looked at Empress Song, and said: "The empress is the lord of the six palaces, and her mother honors the world. You can make up your own mind about things like praising Shien's wife."

Ningguo Mansion, Huifang Garden

In the Mid-Autumn Festival, the wind is sunny and the sky is high and the clouds are clear. Under the flower wall of vines and chrysanthemums in Huifang Garden, the flowers are blooming and colorful, and the flowers and butterflies are dancing among the flowers, as if before the arrival of late autumn. Enjoy the last romantic time.

It was noon, and the soft autumn sun shone in the courtyard, reflecting dazzling gazes on the glazed tiles above the Doufeng Pavilion with carved beams and painted buildings, and behind the bamboo leaf windows that were set up one by one, a dozen people in clothes could be seen. Gorgeous women, surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, are either drinking tea and chatting around the chess field, or around a mahjong table.

Accompanied by the clattering sound of mahjong, it can be seen that Sister Feng is building mahjong tiles around a table with Xiangyun, Tanchun, and Li Wan.

Baochai is sitting on the embroidered pier beside Xiangyun, holding a beauty fan and placing it in front of his chest, looking at the mahjong tiles in Xiangyun's hands with moist almond eyes.

At this time, Sister Feng smiled while playing mahjong: "Young girl Bao also knows how to do it, why don't you sit down?"

Just now, Sister Feng saw that Baochai gave Xiangyun advice and won two games, so she said this.

Seeing a slight smile on Li Wan's elegant and beautiful face, she said: "Baby girl, sit down and play a few games too."

This Grandma Zhu, who is wearing an indigo blue dress embroidered with small orchids, has a ruddy complexion at the moment, and the melancholy and melancholy between her brows and eyes has dissipated a lot, and there is a lightness.

In the past few days, I often come here to chat and laugh with Qin Keqing, Sister Feng and a group of little girls, and my mentality seems to be much younger and brighter than a dead tree.

In other words, at this moment, after Jia Hengjue was conferred first-class uncle in Ningrong and Rongfu, the atmosphere in the mansion was relaxed and happy, no less than Yuanchun concubine concubine in the original book.

There are no political enemies looking at you outside, no Baodai anger inside, all the big girls and young daughters-in-law live happily and easily.Although there is no fire to cook the oil, and the flowers look like brocade, the family atmosphere is flourishing, which can be seen from the gradually completed garden.

Even Sister Feng doesn't have to worry about all kinds of nonsense in the house, except for the occasional feeling of loneliness in the middle of the night, close your eyes, think about that person's ignorance, and sing a song called "Phoenix Cry" Ming.

Under Baochai's emerald and feather-like eyebrows, the moist and slightly almond eyes smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't like playing with this much."

Mahjong was wrong... She didn't want that when she was obsessed with playing mahjong, that person and others were also making vows to each other.

It's like a fisherman who suddenly finds out that his wife is already married, and pokes his head in anger.

At this time, Ying'er handed over the teacup containing Laojun's eyebrows, and said softly, "Miss, drink tea."

Baochai nodded, took the teacup, and held it to her lips for a sip.

And on the soft kang table not far from the mahjong table, on the left and right sides of a chessboard, there are also a few young beauties with graceful postures and red lips and pink cheeks.

Third Sister You is wearing a long jacket with a light purple background, light yellow folded branch flower embroidery, and a peach red dress underneath. The girl is combing airy bangs, her eyebrows are curved, and her face is smiling. It can be seen that looking at Qin Keqing who is playing chess with Third Sister You, he said softly:
"Sister Qin, didn't the young lady say she was going south to Jinling these days, and the family is discussing when she will go there. Do you want to go to the south of the Yangtze River with sister Qin? It's also good to meet the uncle."

The day before yesterday, Princess Jinyang informed Yuan Chun and asked Yuan Chun to go home and tell Tanchun and Xiangyun that she was going to take a few girls to the southern province to see the world.

Qin Keqing picked up a chess piece, and under the beautiful and beautiful bun, on the beautiful and beautiful face of the country, said with a smile: "It's not easy for me to get over the big and small things in the house."

She might not have been moved, but when she thought that it was the Princess Jinyang who was leading the ship to the south, she lost her mind in a blink of an eye.

At this time, listening to the discussion between Qin Keqing and Third Sister You, Sister Feng handed over the mahjong to the servant girl Feng Er.

This splendid fairy concubine, twisting her plump waist, came close to her, her gorgeous melon-seeded face was smiling like a flower, she pinched her handkerchief, and said softly: "Keqing, let me tell you, Brother Heng, how about going to the south?" It's been a long time in the province, and I haven't even lived with Keqing's son, I said, why don't you go to Jinling to find him, anyway, there is a house in Jinling, so it doesn't matter if you live there for a while."

Qin Keqing smiled softly, and said softly: "There are still a lot of things in the house. Recently, the house is repairing gardens and so on. There are many accounts and personnel, and I can't get away."

Why didn't she want to go, but she couldn't get away from her family, besides, it was not good to fall into the eyes of outsiders.

Sister Feng smiled lightly and said: "My younger brother and sister don't know how beautiful the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is. When they married from Jinling, they haven't been back for many years. If it wasn't for Xifu, they wouldn't be able to leave me. I have to go back and have a look. "

Qin Keqing looked up at Baochai who was sitting helping Xiangyun read the cards, and asked, "Where is sister Xue? Sister Xue is also going to Jinling?"

Hearing this, Baochai turned her white and greasy face like a pear pistil, and said with a smile, "I just came from Jinling last year, so it's not easy."

Although she misses him from the bottom of her heart, she has no reason to say that she went south to Jinling, and she doesn't look like it, and Sister Qin is still in Shenjing, so what happened to her past?
Tanchun said softly: "Sister Bao, why not go together, it will be more lively."

Xiangyun played a mahjong, Apple Yuan saw a cute smile on his face, and said: "Sister Bao, it's fun to go there together, it's not interesting just the two of us."

Baochai smiled, and said softly: "Why is it boring? Isn't the hairpin in Yangzhou?"

Well, Baochai will never forget Daiyu, after all, after entering Jia’s mansion, in the mouth of the servants, they are often compared to each other. At that time, the two even had signs of competing.

Seeing thoughts on Tan Chunying's charming face, she said softly: "Sister Lin has been away for quite a while, and she didn't send any letters before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Well, at that time, Daiyu was babbling with Jia Heng in Yangzhou, plus she was worried about Jia Heng because of rectifying the salt affairs and resisting pirates, so she didn't bother to write letters to Xiangyun and Tanchun in Beijing .

"There are a lot of things over there, probably delayed by my uncle's Salt Courtyard, and the recent war. During this period of time, Beijing is full of wind and rain, not discussing matters in the southern province." Baochai said softly. .

As the girl spoke, it was inevitable that a sense of anxiety arose in her heart.

Qin Keqing looked at Baochai thoughtfully with her autumnal eyes, and suddenly said, "Sister Xue can actually accompany Sister Yun and Sister Yun to the south to have a look. It's boring to stay in Beijing all the time."

Since she can't go there, it's better to send Sister Xue there, Qinhuai Fengyue is famous all over the world, and her husband has no one to accompany her in the south, so it can't be said according to others.

Speaking of which, the husband also likes sister Xue quite a lot, and sister Xue is also a scheming person, so she can look at some husbands more or less.

As for Daiyu, Qin Keqing was really defenseless.

When Baochai heard the words, her snow-clear jade face was stunned, she narrowed her almond eyes and looked at Qin Keqing, and asked, "Sister Qin..."

What did sister Qin ask her to do with the past?
With a thought, I gradually realized that I was probably thinking about Brother Heng.

In fact, she was also a little worried that he was promiscuous outside, not because he lacked concentration, but because he was so good, those women could not say that they would jump on him like moths to a flame.

Qin Keqing smiled, and said softly: "Third Sister and Sister Yun have both gone to Jinling, and there are no girls of the same age in the house to play together, so Sister Xue can go together."

Baochai's apricot eyes moved slightly, and said with a light smile: "Sister Qin's words are really a little bit. Sister Yun and the third younger sister have both gone to the south of the Yangtze River, and the house has lost a lot of laughter."

As soon as Third Sister and Sister Yun left, Yingchun was the only one in the whole mansion, and I heard that she usually played a lot with Miaoyu and Xiuyan.

However, as she went south, her mother also needed some persuasion.

Xiangyun turned his ruddy face, smiled lightly and said, "So, Sister Bao is going to Jiangnan with us, and Sister Lin is also there, so the four of us can make a mahjong table together."

Tanchun chuckled softly and said, "Sister Yun knows how to play. Last time in Henan, she dragged Brother Heng out to play and went to many places of interest."

He does not mean that.

On Baochai Lirui's snow-white face, she paused slightly, and sighed softly in her heart.

Sometimes, she also wants to be as carefree as Xiangyun, and he hasn't taken her to a few places to play.

At this time, Qin Keqing's jade face, which was as beautiful as peaches and plums, turned to look worried, and asked softly: "Sister Xue, is there any news about the war in Southern Province recently?"

If you can take care of the affairs of the south earlier, your husband can also be a teacher earlier, so she doesn't have to worry about it.

Since the newlyweds, she gets together less and leaves more, and now she doesn't even have a child.

Baochai said softly: "In the past two days, there have been discussions in Beijing about the war in the south, and they have said everything, but the newspapers in the residence have not said anything. I think Brother Heng has not encountered any trouble."

After all, they had just gone through the baptism of victory in the First World War in Henan. There was no talk in Shenjing that Jia Heng would be defeated, and more talk was that the battle would not be easy.

A flash of thought flashed across Sister Feng's sharp Danfeng eyes, she took Qin Keqing's hand, and said softly, "Keqing, you don't have to worry, every time Brother Heng went out to lead troops to fight, they always came back with a big victory. In this way, it will be the same this time, so relax."

Qin Keqing nodded her head, she did not worry about leading the army to fight, but other things...

While all the Yingyingyanyans were discussing, suddenly, a maid from the outside entered the Doufeng Pavilion, and said pleasantly: "Ma'am, the palace maid has come, and it is said that the empress is offering something to Madam."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the Doufeng Pavilion looked at each other in blank dismay, mostly surprised.

At this time, what is the empress looking for?
The servant girl smiled and explained: "Ma'am, the female official said that Uncle Heng won a great victory in the southern province. The palace is happy. The Kunning Palace has rewarded a lot of things, and the Holy Majesty even added an official to the uncle."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the Doufeng Pavilion suddenly relaxed, and in an instant, it was like a hundred flowers blooming, competing for splendor.

Sister Feng laughed and said, "Sister and sister, what did I just say? Brother Heng is a decent person, nothing will happen."

If that person wasn't so unparalleled in the world, how could he make her... bewitched by ghosts.

Well, I'm really sorry for not being able to think about that in front of Ke Qing.

Sister Feng's cheeks were slightly hot, she felt a little uncomfortable, and quickly suppressed the weirdness in her heart.

Baochai said softly: "Sister Qin, the female officials in the palace should not be neglected, and go to meet them quickly."

Qin Keqing nodded and said with a smile: "Sister Xue said, follow me to meet the female officer."

Everyone in Doufengxuan went to the inner hall of the back house to greet them.

……

……

But on the other side, Rongguo Mansion, Rongqingtang
Just after taking a nap, Mother Jia drank buttermilk tea under the service of Hu Po and other maids, and talked with Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue who came to pay their respects. There was a beautiful woman sitting on the embroidered pier not far away.

Because Daiyu was not in Beijing, Baoyu was driven to the school by Jia Zheng. Jia's mother, who had no Baodai CP to knock on, was bored for a while, and even Rongqing hall became much deserted.

However, Wang Ziteng's daughter-in-law Wang Yi and her daughter Wang Zi came to visit today to say hello to Jia's mother.

At this moment, Wang Yi's daughter-in-law was sitting on the embroidered pier, looked at Jia's mother and asked, "Old lady, there is a discussion about Brother Heng in Beijing right now, did you hear it?"

When Jia Mu heard the words, she saw curiosity on her old face, and asked: "Brother Heng, didn't Brother Heng go to the south of the Yangtze River? What else can you do?"

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law said: "I heard that the Jurchen colluded with pirates and invaded the land of Jiangnan. The fourth master of Zhen's family in Jiangnan was defeated and captured. Brother Heng led the sailors of the Jiangbei camp to fight with the daughter-in-law. It's a real naval decisive battle."

Mother Jia was startled when she heard the words. She looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "What happened these days? Why didn't you tell me?"

Because Jia Zheng felt that it was meaningless to talk about it, Mother Jia didn't know much about it. As for Mrs. Wang, she just found out.

Mrs. Wang's fair face was calm, and she said softly: "Now Beijing said so, brother Heng is leading a navy in the south, and is fighting against pirates. People in Beijing are paying attention to this war. Some people in Beijing said that Brother Heng is not good at water warfare, this battle is a bit dangerous, the master was afraid that the old lady would be worried, so he didn't mention it when he came back."

After all, she also suffered a lot. Mrs. Wang couldn't even say that she was defeated, she just said that this battle was dangerous.

Aunt Xue said softly: "Brother Heng won a big battle in Henan, so he should be fine this time."

Compared with Mrs. Wang who might still be expecting something in her heart, Aunt Xue felt that the problem was not serious, it was just dangerous. Whenever Jia Heng was not dangerous, the result... the title was promoted faster than anyone else.

When he first entered Beijing, he was only a third-class general.

Seeing that Aunt Xue didn't take it seriously, Wang Yi's daughter-in-law felt a little irritated, and said: "Auntie doesn't know, this time is different from the one in Henan, this time the Jurchens colluded with pirates to make trouble, where are these Jurchens? It is easy to deal with, everyone says that Jurchen is full of ten thousand, and full of ten thousand is invincible."

Wang Zi blinked her eyes, and the little girl raised her palm-sized face and looked at her mother suspiciously.

Where did mother hear this from?

In fact, ever since Wang Ziteng's Beijing Camp Jiedushi was "rejected" by Jia Heng, Wang Yi and Wang Yi's daughter-in-law were very angry.

When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't help feeling a little worried, and said softly, "What should I do..."

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "The old lady doesn't have to worry too much. Brother Heng didn't say anything else. When did he suffer when he led the army to fight? You can always rest assured."

Because losing a battle is not pleasant to hear, Aunt Xue, who has a high EQ, uses quite euphemistic words.

Jia Mu nodded and said, "That's what I said."

In fact, Mother Jia was still a little worried, probably because she felt that Aunt Xue's words of comfort were not as pleasant as Sister Feng's.

Seeing this, Wang Yi's daughter-in-law wanted to say a few more words.

Suddenly at this moment, Lin Zhixiao's family entered the Rongqing hall and said: "Old lady, the master is back."

Everyone in Rongqing Hall was taken aback.

While talking, Jia Zheng entered Rongqing Hall and bowed to Jia's mother: "Son, mother."

Mother Jia beckoned Jia Zheng to sit down, looked at the cheerful Jia Zheng, and asked curiously, "Zheng'er, what kind of happy event is this?"

Jia Zheng smiled, and said proudly: "Mother, Ziyu defeated the navy invading by the captives in the south, and the palace named Ziyu the crown prince and Taibao."

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law: "???"

When did this happen?

Jia's mother was surprised and said, "Is that what the palace said?"

Jia Zheng nodded and said, "My sage's golden words, mother, this is a title that many civil servants can't ask for. The sage's grace is so great, and he also said that he would give Brother Heng a posthumous title first, so that it will shine on the lintel."

Mother Jia nodded, smiled broadly, and said again and again: "Okay, okay, just now Brother Yi and his daughter-in-law told me that Brother Heng's battle is dangerous. I was still worried. You didn't tell me a few days ago. , Brother Yi and his daughter-in-law told me."

As he spoke, he seemed to be annoyed by Jia Zheng.

Mother Jia was obviously not a fool, she had already seen some mentality of the Wang family, but after all, she was mature enough to see through without explaining it, so she deliberately passed on the words to Jia Zheng.

"The Holy Majesty said that there should be nothing serious about Ziyu's stay in Jinling. My son also thought it was nothing serious, so he didn't come over to mention it to the old lady." Jia Zheng explained.

Wang Yi's daughter-in-law looked unnatural, she smiled and said: "What the second master said is, such things as ingots."

Aunt Xue looked at Wang Yi's daughter-in-law, her eyes flickered, and her heart became more weird.

Sure enough, Brother Heng is a formidable one. After returning from Jiangnan, will he make great contributions and become a Marquis again?

Thinking of this, Aunt Xue's heart skipped a beat, really want that day, Lord Hou who is less than 20 years old?

Mrs. Wang had no joy or sadness on her face, she just squeezed the hand holding the Buddhist beads and exerted a little force.

While the few people were talking, another nanny came from the outside and said beamingly: "Old lady, the palace maids are here, and they went to the East Mansion to pass on the Queen Mother's orders, and they rewarded a lot of things."
