The Red Mansions

Chapter 765 Introduce the first Jiangnan camp to warn the troops!
Jinling, Ningguofu
From night to Xu, when the candles were flickering, a long and short figure was projected on the wall. Jia Heng returned to the wing room, looked at the girl covered with a quilt in front of the curtained bed, and called out softly, Said: "Mandarin duck."

Yuanyang put down the quilt in her hand with surprise, turned to look at the boy, and said, "You're back? I'll bring you hot water to wash your feet."

Jia Heng nodded, sat in front of the bed, picked up a book on the small table, flipped through it, and started reading by candlelight.

Not long after, a basin of hot water was served outside the mandarin duck, and the tall girl bent down, the orange candlelight shining on her beautiful face.

Yuanyang raised her eyes to look at the young man, and said softly, "Master, I will help you wash your feet."

Jia Heng looked at Yuanyang, smiled, and said in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you just now, I asked you to call your husband."

Yuanyang pursed her pink lips when she heard the words, her white and snowy face suddenly turned red like rouge, she was not used to it normally.

Jia Heng smiled lightly, but didn't insist, it's okay to wait on the bed for a while and let the mandarin duck call him, put down the book, bent down to put on his boots, stopped the mandarin duck's hand, and said softly, "I'll do it myself."

As he spoke, he took off his shoes, removed his shoes and socks, and put his feet in the tub.

"Is the water not hot?" Yuanyang asked with concern.

Jia Heng said softly: "Just right."

As she spoke, she patted the side of the bed beside her, motioning to come over and sit down. The mandarin duck approached with blushing cheeks, sat down, and was pulled by the young man over a slender catkin.

"Sister-in-law Zhu's two cousins ​​are staying at Grandma You's side." Yuanyang's bright eyes were condensed, and she looked at the boy tenderly and said.

Jia Heng nodded and said: "Sister Lin is quite bored at home. Although you are talking with me, it is inevitable that she will be lonely alone. The two cousins ​​of sister-in-law Zhu come to live here. They are the same age and can Talk to her."

He also has official business, so it is impossible to bleat every day, Xiangyun and Tanchun are not here, Daiyu is inevitably a little lonely, it is better for Li Wen and Li Qi to come and talk with Daiyu.

Yuanyang said softly: "Uncle is busy with official business outside, Miss Lin is also considerate of Uncle, she didn't say anything, Miss Lin still knows the general situation."

It is not said that Daiyu will have some petty sexuality, but in fact, the whole Rongguo Mansion knows that Daiyu's past temperament and knowledge should have nothing to do with it, and her performance during this period of time also made Yuanyang get to know Daiyu again.

Jia Heng laughed and said, "Why are you suddenly talking for Sister Lin?"

Yuanyang said softly: "Miss Lin is a fairy-like person with a kind heart. The uncle will treat her well in the future."

Hearing this, Jia Heng looked a little more serious, and said softly: "I will treat her well."

Yuanyang smiled and said, "However, seeing that Miss Lin is here, I don't cry as much as before."

Since following the uncle, she can clearly feel Miss Lin's joy and happiness from the bottom of her heart.

"She didn't like to cry very much, or no one likes to cry." Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "Come on, give me the towel on the stool, and I will wipe my feet."

Seeing this, Yuanyang smiled lightly and said, "What is the uncle washing here? Let me wait for the uncle to wash it."

Saying that, she squatted down and helped Jia Heng wash her feet. The girl's slender hands touched Jia Heng's muscles and feet, and gently scrubbed them.

Jia Heng could only let the mandarin ducks serve her, looking at the girl, her eyes softened a little, and the softness in her heart was touched, of course it was not because of washing her feet.

And this absence is only fleeting.

After a while, Yuanyang helped Jia Heng wipe off the water, took the wooden basin, and went to the outside room.

Jia Heng tilted on the bed, picked up the book again, and read it by the light, obviously much more comfortable than before.

After a while, the mandarin ducks went back and forth, and sat on the bed again, biting their cherry lips with their white teeth, and the bright eyes under the willow eyebrows were as bright as water, and whispered: "Husband, it's so late, don't look at me." .”

Jia Heng put down the book in his hand, looked at Yuanyang with a smile, and said, "Well, then I won't read it."

Pulling Yuanyang's hand all of a sudden, amidst the girl's low cry, the two of them fell sideways on the bed.

Yuanyang scolded and said, "I...I haven't put on my clothes yet."

"I'll explain it to you." Jia Heng said softly, took Yuanyang's hand and embraced her.

The mandarin duck's white and snow-like duck face was as bright as fire, gently took Jia Heng's hand, and said shyly, "You...don't make trouble."

"It's quick to untie clothes like this."

mandarin duck:"……"

This, this makes sense, but she was speechless.

As he was thinking about it, he saw Wen Ruan attacking, imprinted on his lips, the familiar breath came oncoming, and Jia Heng helped Yuanyang untie the bondage.

"Lantern..." The mandarin duck raised its neck like a swan, gently stroking the boy's shoulder, and said in a trembling voice.

"It's better to see more clearly." Jia Heng said vaguely.

The mandarin duck's delicate body trembled slightly, and she stopped talking for a while, and closed her eyes tightly. In the blink of an eye, she was submerged in the sea of ​​youthful love and desire.

After a while, just as Jia Heng said, not long after, the two of them hugged each other tightly, there was no longer a silk barrier, they almost merged into one body without distinguishing each other.

In the middle of the night, the sky over the courtyard of Ningguo Mansion was cloudy with wind and rain, and the lanterns under the eaves swayed gently with the wind, making a rustling sound. Under the rocky rockery in the southwest corner, a pine branch that was lush after the rain Emotional, the wind came suddenly, and the raindrops trickled down and fell on the grass.

After a long time, the mandarin duck leaned against the pillow with its messy hair on the sideburns, half of the delicate green silk scattered on the face, sparsely covering the ears and face, and a beautiful and bright face was as red as blood and glowing like fire. Tong, just like Danxia.

The charming bright eyes seemed to be slightly opened, and the crisp voice trembled: "When I return to Beijing, Miss Lin, husband, have you thought about how to tell the old lady?"

Jia Heng put down the two slender and straight legs, leaned down, and whispered in Yuanyang's ear: "The old lady is easy to talk about, but it's too late for her to say anything."

Yuanyang said softly: "The old lady has been thinking about getting closer a few years ago. Now Miss Lin is going south to walk with the uncle. She doesn't know what's going on when she returns to Beijing."

Jia Heng laughed and said, "You mean precious jade? I'm afraid he's going to smash the psychic precious jade to pieces."

Yuanyang couldn't help being handsome when he heard the words, opened his bright eyes, looked at the young man with watery eyes, and said: "Master, Second Master Bao is actually a little bit naughty, and he doesn't have any evil intentions."

In Ningrong and Rongfu, the girls can be regarded as witnesses of Jia Heng teaching Baoyu a lesson.

Jia Heng asked softly: "He has been hanging out in the back house for a long time, why does the old lady ignore him, you are a caring person around the old lady, do you know why?"

"The old man loves his grandson, there is nothing else, besides, the family does not need him to pass the imperial examination, and the old lady probably doesn't expect it either." Yuanyang said softly.

Jia Heng said softly: "Parents' beloved son has far-reaching plans. The old lady doesn't look like a fool, but she loves Baoyu too much."

In fact, so far, because of his intervention, the original Red Chamber has changed beyond recognition, and it is true that Baoyu is not needed to stand out, and he can be a useless cripple and a reed of thought.

Yuanyang sighed softly, and said: "The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear."

Why isn't she?Back then when she was serving the old lady, she had already made up her mind that no matter what, she would not be the concubine of the gentlemen of Jia's mansion, but when she met him, she couldn't avoid him, couldn't escape, and she loved her so much.

Thinking of this, my heart is so sweet.

Jia Heng looked at the girl warmly, and asked softly, "What is Sister Yuanyang thinking?"

Yuanyang gently touched Jia Heng's hand, Xiuli's cheeks were blushing, and she said reproachfully, "I didn't think about anything."

Jia Heng was warm and fragrant, soft jade in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "Are you thinking about when you will give me a child, and you must teach me well in the future?"

Speaking of which, he also likes to tease this tall and bright girl, although she is usually a bit reserved, but just let him play with her, especially her slender and straight pair, although they are slightly inferior to Xianning, they are not that far behind.

The mandarin duck said "ah", and Xia Fei's cheeks were full of shame and anger, and she said, "You...you are making fun of people again."

In fact, she wanted to ask him why she had been married to Grandma Qin for so long without having a child, but it was difficult to ask, as if she was coveting something.

Jia Heng thought for a while, and then asked: "These days, when I'm not at home, are you and Qingwen getting along well?"

After taking a bath, Qingwen wanted to take advantage of him several times when he was not paying attention, but she was obviously not a qualified guide and had no way to go, which made him a little dumbfounded.

Yuanyang said softly: "We get along well, Qingwen is just sullen, nothing else, don't neglect her."

"Actually, I didn't neglect her. I spent a relatively long time with her. It's just that she is still young. Let's talk about it in two years." Jia Heng said softly.

Whenever he takes a bath, Qingwen takes care of him.

Yuanyang was quiet for a moment, then said softly: "Husband, what do you think of Xiren?"

Jia Heng heard the words, lightly stroked the girl's round shaved shoulders, and asked curiously: "Is this what she asked you to ask?"

Yuanyang said: "That's not true. We grew up together. I always knew that she was high-spirited. She usually doesn't say anything, just to save her breath secretly."

Pingyuanxi, Yaerta, the three giants, in the past, Pinger and Xiren, an aunt who was appointed by Jia Lian, and Xiren also had Baoyu as his home, only the mandarin ducks were not found. Originally, Xiren still had some secret joy in his heart. He has a superior mind, but now the feng shui is turning, Jia Lian is exiled, Ping'er is not in Beijing, and Xiren has left Baoyu's courtyard and has nowhere to go.

On the contrary, the mandarin ducks outshine others, and the husband and son-in-law they are looking for, even if you look at a big man, are unparalleled in the world.

Ping'er is fine, with a Buddhist mentality, while Xiren's mentality is somewhat out of balance.

Jia Heng thought for a while, then murmured: "Let her take good care of Sister Lin, don't think about anything else, wait until Sister Lin leaves the cabinet two years later."

Qing is Daiying, Xi is the deputy of Chai, and Xiren follows Daiyu. It is more appropriate to protect Daiyu, who is in love, from being bullied in the future.

Yuanyang smiled lightly when she heard the words, and said, "Then how about I tell her that after two years, when Miss Lin passes through the door, she will be able to marry as a dowry like Zijuan?"

Jia Heng neither admitted nor denied, but said: "You are indeed her good sister since childhood, and you will not forget her if you have good friends."

He didn't even know how to say Mandarin Duck, how could he be so generous, what a good sister, a quilt?

"No, even seeing her... well, I can't bear it." Yuanyang sighed softly and said in a low voice.

Anyway, he didn't like Xiren very much, and Xiren only wanted to be decent as his aunt.

"I found that you really like the beauty of adults, you really are a golden mandarin duck." Jia Heng smiled and said jokingly: "Let me see if this heart is made of gold."

I can't help but think of Yuanyang helping Siqi and Pan Youan to hide the affair after seeing Siqi and Pan You'an having an affair in the original book.

In fact, he also faintly discovered that mandarin ducks have some adult beauty, a gentleman's legacy.

Yuanyang bit her lower lip with her white teeth, stopped the young man who was making trouble, and said shyly, "Master, don't make trouble."

"You're always like this, it's easy to suffer." Jia Heng said softly.

Yuanyang said softly: "People often say that a loss is a blessing."

At this moment, Jia Heng hugged Yuanyang's shaved shoulders and stood up suddenly.

The mandarin duck exclaimed, her hair was scattered in a cloud bun, and her rainy eyes condescendingly looked down at the young man, Yurong asked in surprise, "This...how did this happen?"

How can a man be inferior to others?
Jia Heng grabbed the slender catkin of the mandarin duck, and said softly: "Good mandarin duck, I'm a little tired, let's finish our tossing earlier, so we can go to bed earlier."

Seeing this, the mandarin duck's face flushed like a red apple, and the small freckles could no longer be seen clearly. With such a change of position, some of them didn't know what to do for a while, and felt their body was as delicate as water and as soft as silkworms.

After all, it was the first time. Fortunately, with Jia Heng's words and deeds, he gradually understood the key points after a while.

It was not until the middle of the night that Jia Heng embraced the mandarin duck and fell asleep.

……

……

The next day, early in the morning, the sky was bright, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was still a little gloomy. After the rain, the air in the courtyard was fresh, and the forest under the west window was lush and verdant as far as the eye could see.

Jia Heng got up from the bed, washed up, put on his clothes and belt under the service of the mandarin ducks, and planned to go to the yamen of the Ministry of War to sit in the yamen to watch the affairs, when suddenly Qingwen came down from the eaves to report, and Li Shu, a hundred guards in Jinyi, came to report something .

Jia Heng looked at the mandarin duck who was looking for various accessories from the side. The girl with a slender figure had a rosy complexion on her face, and the charm and charm of willow-leaf slender eyebrows flowed silently, and said softly: "Mandarin duck, the sachet first Alright, I'll go take a look."

Yuanyang heard the words, quickly put down the sachet, tidied up Jia Heng's cuffs, and said: "Master, it's not too late to leave after eating."

Jia Heng said: "I'll go to the front yard to see what's going on. If it's urgent, I'll eat it at the Zhenfu Department."

Said, came to the corridor eaves.

At this moment, Qingwen, who was at the door, had red lips painted with rose red rouge, her lips were pouting high, and her pink face was pouting, as if she could pinch water.

"Where is the person?" Jia Heng asked, stretched out his hand to pinch the girl's face, and said lightly: "What kind of pout does this mouth get every day?"

Qingwen snorted softly and said softly, "My lord, you are in the front hall."

Jia Heng smiled, strode to the side hall, looked at Li Shu who got up to greet him, and asked, "What's the matter?"

At this time, Chen Xiao also entered the hall from under the eaves, and stood behind Jia Heng silently.

Li Shu replied: "Reporting to the governor, in the early morning, Liu Zhenfu went to the residence of Zhao Jian, the commander of the Baotao Guard, and arrested five people, Zhao Jian, the commander of the Baotao Guard. Liu Zhenfu led the Tiqi to take down all of them."

Jia Heng heard the words, his face was silent, and he asked: "What's going on?"

Although it was expected yesterday that the troops in the Jiangnan camp would make some tricks, they did not expect it to be so fast, and the private gathering wanted to coerce the soldiers into chaos in the camp.

Chen Xiao was listening on the side, and the same surprise was seen on Qingshuang's jade face.

Li Shudao: "Last night, Zhao Jian, the commander of the Leopard Tower Guard, invited the commanders around Hu Ben and his fellow commanders to a banquet in the mansion. Liu Zhenfu sent people to monitor closely, but I don't know what a few people are discussing in the mansion. Today In the early morning, Sun Xing, the general of Jiangnan Daying, heard that several people were discussing mutiny last night. , Liu Zhenfu immediately sent Tiqi to arrest a few people."

Jia Heng looked silent, and asked: "Where are people now?"

"They had already left the city gate at that time, met my Jinyi Tiqi, and had a conflict. Now they are all imprisoned in the prison of Zhenfusi, but Zhao Jian, the commander of the Baotao Guard, repeatedly complained, saying that he wanted to see Marquis Annan and the governor. .” Li Shu cupped his hands.

Jia Heng nodded and said: "Wait a while, I will go to Beizhen Fushi, send someone to inform Annan Hou Yezhen, and invite him to go to Zhenfusi."

When Li Shu bowed his hands and left, Chen Xiaoxiu frowned, her face was frosted, and she said coldly: "These people are really brave, they dare to coerce the soldiers into mutiny."

"Whimsical, stupid." Jia Heng said in a deep voice with slightly cold eyes.

Chen Xiao thought for a while and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Jia Heng said: "Execute a few, spread the news to the Jiangnan camp, and warn the army!"

Although he was investigated and arrested by the Jinyi Mansion before the plan to instigate mutiny was implemented, but this kind of low-level crime, especially during the military consolidation period, is the same as the crime of inciting subversion and violence and terror, even if it is talking in public.

What's more, several people have summoned their own soldiers and are preparing to go to the Jiangnan Camp.

However, just because a few people didn't really make it, even though they were guilty, not all of them were sure to die.

The advocates of course want to deal with it in a thunderous manner, so as to eliminate military discipline, so as to clear the way for the subsequent reorganization of the army. As for other crimes that are relatively minor, they can be appropriately lenient.

In fact, it is not appropriate to execute so many former Annanhou's subordinates at once.

Chen Xiao reminded: "This matter still needs to be handled properly, we must kill, and we can't kill indiscriminately, otherwise the hearts of Jiangnan Daying will fluctuate, and these people still have many old troops. Small."

She was mainly because others said that his actions were too cruel, which would not be conducive to great things in the future.

Jia Heng looked at the dignified girl, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."
