The Red Mansions

Chapter 808 Zhen Qing: Does my sister still hate me now?
The next day, around noon

There were huge crowds of people before and after the Jinling City Ferry, shoulder to shoulder, officials from the Six Departments of Nanjing and the Governor's Yamen of Liangjiang were all waiting eagerly.

Compared with Jia Heng who used to be under the guard of the Jinyi Mansion, when he first arrived in Jinling, he did not see any officials who came to greet him, but at this moment, the ferry crossing from the Sixth Ministry of Nanjing to the Imperial Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is almost empty and full of people, from the Sixth Ministry of Nanjing to the Imperial Academy , Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Jia Heng's great victory in Chongmingsha, especially the capture of Jurchen Prince Duoduo, stunned Jinling City for a day, and immediately accepted this fact with complicated thoughts.

Regardless of whether the officials in the Jiangnan officialdom are willing or not, they must admit that Jia Heng is the outstanding young nobleman of Chen Han's generation, and after this battle, his power has become more and more powerful.

Victory is undoubtedly a sharp weapon to suppress all dissenting voices, and the victor does not need to be accused.

At this moment, Zhen Yingjia also led the members of the Zhen family to meet the triumphant army at the ferry. Under the thick eyebrows, his eyes looked excitedly towards the direction of the foggy river.

Not far away, in the carriage guarded by a group of nuns and maidservants, Princess Chu Zhen Qing, dressed in a light white indigo dress, sat in the carriage, looking towards Jiangkou with Princess Zhenxue of Beijing through the bamboo curtain.

A heart raised to the throat, eyes full of hope.

Not far from the crowd, there were still guards guarding a carriage secretly. Princess Jinyang was leading Princess Qinghe and Princess Xianning to sit in the carriage, opening the bamboo curtain to look at the river mouth.

In addition, the Ningrong and Rongfu prefectures in Jinling also sent their clansmen to welcome them. On a carriage inside, Yuanchun, Zhenlan, Zhenxi, Tanchun, Xiangyun, Baochai, and Daiyu were also looking out from the curtain.

I don't know that Yuan Chun was going to see Jia Heng, and he was so excited that he was negligent. Chai and Dai and Bao Qin were in a carriage. The carriage was spacious. It was autumn again. It doesn't look crowded or stuffy.

Well, it's such a coincidence.

Baochai wore a light red dress, combed her hair with airy bangs, her face was as white and greasy as snow, and her handkerchief was tightly clenched, she could only suppress the joy that surged deep in her heart.

Compared with Baochai's reserved and reserved, Daiyu is more straightforward, open the curtain openly, her eyes are shining like stars, looking towards the distance of Jiangkou.

He just glanced at Baochai next to him from time to time, with inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

Baoqin talked to relieve the boredom, and said with a smile: "Brother Heng went to the sea in Haojing and fought with the Hongyi people. He won the battle in a short time, and now he came to Jinling and won another battle. .”

Baochai turned to look at Baoqin, and said with a chuckle, "Where is the daughter of Governor Haojing? Why didn't you come with me?"

"Nuo Na originally wanted to come over to watch the fun, but her body has not been very refreshed these two days, and she may be a little uncomfortable." Bao Qin frowned and said softly.

When Daiyu heard this, she turned her head and asked, "Have you ever hired a doctor? Why didn't my sister mention it in the house?"

As the hostess of Ningguo Mansion, isn't this a sign of poor hospitality?

The smile on Baochai's face faded a little, her moist almond eyes glanced at the girl with a concerned look on her beautiful face, and she sighed softly in her heart.

Frowner, she seems to be faintly trying to show her signs now.

Is Daiyu really unreasonable?In fact, this is not the case. In the original book, after Lin Ruhai passed away, he brought back home books and collected some gifts for Baochai and Sanchun.

Baoqin didn't doubt him, and said, "Nuona doesn't trust the doctor here, so she didn't find him."

Daiyu sighed softly, and said softly, "You must find a doctor to take care of you."

In the past, she was very weak and sick, and often accompanied by heart palpitations, but now... um, it seems that she has recovered?
Perhaps this is what Brother Heng said about being depressed and hiding his heart, resulting in many diseases. After going south to Jinling with Brother Heng, he seems to be in a much brighter mood.

"Here we come, the army is here." The guard of the Jinling Mansion, who was climbing on a poplar tree and looked around, shouted towards the officials below.

The crowd who had been discussing in low voices first became violently agitated, then held their breath, stretched their necks, and looked towards the river at the ferry.

And this kind of atmosphere undoubtedly infected the two of them, Chai and Dai, in the carriage. They stopped talking in low voices, but opened the curtains and looked at the foggy, empty river.

At this moment, there are more than 20 warships lined up on the river mouth. The soldiers of the Jiangnan camp on the top are holding long guns and standing proudly on the bow and sides of the ship. momentum.

The Jiangnan Camp, which just won a victory, has undoubtedly reshaped the morale of the army.

At this moment, Annan Hou Yezhen was standing on the deck of the ship where he was, and Ye Cheng beside him said, "Master, Jinling has arrived."

Ye Zhen glanced at the men, women and children who were meeting at the ferry, and said with emotion: "More than 20 years ago, Annan won a great victory, and the emperor's southern tour, Jinling City was also such a grand occasion."

This Marquis Wu, who had witnessed many major events during the Longzhi period, couldn't help feeling ups and downs when he saw this scene.

Of course, when a person starts to always recall the past, either he is not happy now, or his mentality is getting old.

In the cabin, behind a square table, a tall and straight young man in a python suit is sitting on the grand master's chair with a brush in his hand, writing a summary of the past few days on the open notebook.

"We've arrived at Jinling ahead." Chen Xiaoqing said softly, looking at the young man with a focused expression, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Jia Heng put down the brush, rubbed his sore wrist, and said in a low voice, "It's good when we arrive."

As the ship approached the shore, a large number of soldiers from the Jiangnan camp got out of the warship with their Yanling swords and spears, and lined up on the shore to guard.

And Jia Heng's flag ship also sailed into the ferry, and lowered the plank from the building to the shore, and Jia Heng disembarked surrounded by Liu Jixian and other guards of Jinyifu.

At this moment, Shen Fang, governor of Liangjiang, looked at the young man who was yelling and embracing, his eyes were a little gloomy, and he suppressed a trace of irritability in his heart, and followed Yuan Tu, Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and Fang Yaochun, the Imperial College's sacrificial wine, and walked away quickly.

Zhen Yingjia, president of Jinling Institute of Physical Education, also led his second younger brother Zhen Xuan to greet him from another direction, with enthusiastic smiles on his face.

No matter what, the protagonist of Jinling City today is Jia Heng.

"Congratulations to Bo Yongning on his triumphant return." Shen Fang looked at the boy and bowed his hands.

I don't know if he was absent-minded. Triumph and return are obviously redundant language expressions, but the governor of Liangjiang still said it, and no one paid attention to the mistakes in ordinary sentences.

Jia Heng also cupped his hands and returned the salute, and said in a low voice: "Master Lao Shen and all the lords are out of the city to welcome you, I am sincerely worried."

At this time, Yuan Tu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, said with a smile: "Uncle Yongning has now won a great victory at sea that has not been seen in decades, and Jinling scholars and people are naturally eager to see the young man's heroism."

At this moment, the teacher of the king of Chu, he didn't see the worry in the governor's mansion yesterday, his old face was full of smiles, and his speech was much better than before.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries.

Shen Fang smiled, endured a nausea, and said flatteringly: "Uncle Yongning captured the Jurchen Prince alive in the battle at Chongmingsha, advocating the prestige of our country, which really boosted the morale of our Han people."

Jia Heng's face was indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "The enemy invaded the territory of the Han Dynasty. We waited for martial arts and suffered the emperor's favor. It is time to report the emperor's favor. How can we just sit idly by? Now rely on the generals to use their lives to wipe out the Jurchen invaders in one fell swoop. Soldiers are what they should be! It's just a matter of military affairs, which needs to be adjusted according to the times. Previously, there were rumors of urging troops in Jinling City. They made false comments because they didn't know the military plan. They even tried to impeach the official. People, do you think they are in collusion with the Jurchens to secretly pass the song?!"

Talking about military plans indiscriminately, in one sentence, gave the previous impeachment memorials and officials' urging troops to advance and suppress.

At this moment, the surrounding officials all looked at the boy in the python suit, with different expressions on their faces, and some officials who had previously appeared in the impeachment memorial had very ugly expressions.

For example, Lin Yingqi, the servant of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he felt that the eyes of the surroundings fell on him, with a little bit of banter, and felt aggrieved in his heart.

At this moment, the eldest princess of Jinyang in the carriage with glazed hairpin tassels, her beautiful eyes were condensed, and she looked at the young man from a distance, her cheeks flushed like a peach pistil and glowed brightly because of joy.

Princess Xianning, who was at the bottom, stared blankly at the young man chatting and laughing with the Jiangnan officials and Chen Xiao next to the young man, sighed and said: "Before, I was like my cousin, just go with my husband."

Li Chanyue said softly: "Cousin, Mr. Jia also thought it was dangerous, so he kept you here."

Princess Xianning looked at Li Chanyue and said, "I know."

Listening to the two little girls' narration, Princess Jinyang cast her beautiful eyes on Chen Xiao who was in the guard of Jinyi Mansion.

And Zhen Yingjia also went up to meet him, with a smile on his face, he called softly: "Zi Yu, second brother, fourth brother."

At this time, Zhen Shao and Zhen Zhu appeared from the formation of the generals, and they called to Zhen Yingjia, "Brother."

Zhen Yingjia sized up the two brothers and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as nothing happened to the second and fourth brothers.

Other officials in the Liangjiang officialdom mostly looked sideways when they saw the Zhen brothers talking.

On the other side, Annan Hou Yezhen also nodded to the welcoming Jinling officials, as if they had met each other.

After all, Ye Zhen is the Marquis of Wu who has seen all kinds of big scenes, his old face is calm and unwavering, as if he is not moved by the outside world at all.

Jia Heng finished his conversation with Shen Fang and the officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing briefly, and said: "My lords, this is not a place to talk, let's go into the city."

While speaking, Jia Heng and the generals entered the city of Jinling in mighty form, greeted by the Jiangnan officials and under the attention of the people of Jinling.

The Jinling gentry and scholars who were watching also headed towards the city, discussing the great victory in teahouses and restaurants.

Jinling City has returned to its long-lost bustle and prosperity, but the discussion about the war is still full of joy.

At this moment, in the carriage, Zhen Qing looked at the imposing young man, her expression gradually became obsessed, and the charm contained in her beautiful eyes almost... overflowed.

"Sister, Zi Yu has already entered the city." Zhen Xue gently pulled Zhen Qing's plain hand, looked at her sister who was flabbergasted in the void, a flash of embarrassment flashed across Xue Ni's cheeks, and said softly.

Zhen Qing gave a soft "hmm", looked at Zhen Xue with a half-smile, and asked, "Sister, I pushed you into the pit of fire back then, does my sister still hate me now?"

Zhen Xue: "..."

Seriously, my sister, why did you mention this at this time?
What fire pit?Ziyu is not a pit of fire.

As for hatred, she can't actually say it, since the sisters have no overnight hatred.

On the other side, Princess Jinyang, Princess Xianning, and Princess Qinghe also watched Jia Heng go from the mansion to Jinling City, knowing that his figure could not be seen among the bustling crowd, so they looked away.

Princess Jinyang breathed a sigh of relief, her red lips parted slightly, and she said softly: "It seems that there is no injury, let's go back."

Princess Xianning's lustrous gaze was still somewhat reluctant, but she was pulled by the arm of Princess Jinyang to put down the car curtain.

Princess Jinyang smiled lightly and said, "Let's go, he still has to deal with the officials in Liangjiang's officialdom. He should go back to Ningguo Mansion to stay today. See you tomorrow."

The last time I came back from Guangdong Hai, I stayed at her mansion. Now that I have returned with a big victory, everyone is looking at me, and I came directly to the princess mansion. After all, it arouses doubts.

And as the carriage turned around, the hanging curtain cut off the hustle and bustle of the outside world, Princess Xianning looked disappointed and said with a lack of confidence: "Auntie, then Chanyue and I will go to Ningguo Mansion later? "

"What did you do in the past?" Princess Jinyang glanced at Princess Xianning and said softly, "You don't know how to let him rest."

The little girl is clingy, and she still wants to leave her in the mansion and go there alone?

When Princess Xianning heard the words, her jade face paled slightly, she curled her lips, and had no choice but to pull Li Chanyue's plain hand in dismay.

This man always bullies her.

Li Chanyue glanced at the eldest princess of Jinyang, and said softly: "Cousin, Mr. Jia has to entertain those officials later, and he will go home to talk to the sisters in Jia's mansion in the evening."

Princess Xianning was silent for a while, and said: "I haven't seen Mr. Cong since he came back from Guangdong."

"Didn't my cousin go to Jiangnan Daying with Mr. Jia last time?" Li Chanyue asked in surprise, her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned.

In fact, she is the one who hasn't seen Mr. Jia for a long time, right?
Princess Xianning was at a loss for words for a while, so she looked at Li Chanyue in embarrassment, thinking, Chanyue really doesn't understand anything, they are together.

Besides, as we went to Weigang, Tongzhou, we were marching all the way, and my husband didn't care about...playing around with her.

Shen Fang and other Liangjiang officials hosted a banquet at Linjiang Restaurant, the largest restaurant in the city, and Jia Heng had a banquet with all the officials from Liangjiang official circles.

During the banquet, they basically had their own ghosts and played tricks every time.

The presence was nothing more than all kinds of bragging about their achievements. As long as these literati switched positions, their bragging words would be full of flowers.

It is almost completely different from the previous scene where bullets were flying like a tide.

Jia Heng coped with it with a calm expression, while Annan Hou Yezhen was on the sidelines, chatting with the officials of Jinling.

Shen Fang tentatively asked: "Now that all the pirates have been wiped out, I don't know when Yongning Bo will return to Beijing?"

Jia Heng looked calm, and said: "There are still remnants of the pirates fleeing at sea, and they need to be suppressed urgently, and the Jiangnan camp also needs to continue to be rectified. As for the squadron, we must wait for the imperial court's order."

Hearing this, Shen Fang's complexion remained unchanged, and his heart was covered with a layer of haze.

The current perception of Jia Heng is basically equivalent to the God of Plague, and the main thing is to send him away as soon as possible, otherwise who knows if there will be some more moths.

Since the young man in front of him went south, the Nanjing military department, the Jiangnan camp, and the Huaiyang officialdom have all been cleaned up. Now, with the prestige of a big victory, he may be even more arrogant and domineering in Jiangnan!
Jia Heng didn't care about the thoughts of Jiangnan officials like Shen Fang, and simply had a reception banquet with the officials, and in the afternoon, he left the restaurant and returned to Ningguo Mansion.
