The Red Mansions

Chapter 819 King Chu: He and Jia Ziyu are now brothers-in-law...

Qixia Mountain

The foothills of the mountain are lush and green, looking around, the sky is high and the clouds are light, wild geese fly south, and withered and yellow forests can be seen everywhere in the field of vision. It is late autumn, and the mist in the mountains shrouds the beautiful mountains.

Jia Heng led Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue, accompanied by Chen Xiao, to Qixia Mountain, admiring the scenery, feeling relaxed and happy.

It was late autumn, and it was slightly cold in the mountains. There were no tourists on Qixia Mountain, and everyone walked along the mountain path towards the middle of the mountain.

Stopping quickly, Jia Heng climbed the mountain with Princess Xianning, Chen Xiao, and Li Chanyue to have a look.

Jia Heng looked at Chanyue at the side, handed over a handkerchief and said, "Chanyue, wipe the sweat off your face."

Li Chanyue felt a little ashamed when she heard the words, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and said softly: "Thank you."

"Let me do it." Jia Heng looked at the girl with bright eyes and white teeth, and said in a low voice, "His head is covered with sweat."

Li Chanyue bit her lower lip with her white teeth, and was slightly taken aback when she heard the same words as before.

Immediately, I felt the sweat on my forehead and temples being wiped, but that movement was still as gentle as water, and my heart was filled with shame, joy and sweetness.

There are other people beside this, Mr. Jia...not afraid of others being jealous.

Princess Jinyang Yuyan smiled brightly, looked dotingly at the pair of boys and girls, and said with a chuckle, "There are so many people, you just love her."

"She is the youngest, so you should take care of her more." Jia Heng looked at the petite girl with a lot of worries hidden in her eyebrows and eyes, and said with a smile.

Listening to the two talking, Li Chanyue felt a little complicated.

Right now, Princess Xianning is standing on a pine tree with beautiful branches and as green as a canopy, on her gorgeous and bright face, she smiles slightly and says softly: "If the world is peaceful, I will accompany you here, Mr. Just wander around the land of Kyushu."

Jia Heng said: "It is also my life's wish to travel with flying immortals, embrace the bright moon and die forever, and go boating on the rivers and lakes."

I just want to wait until that day, and I don't know the year of the monkey.

Li Chanyue's eyes were shining brightly, focused on Jia Heng's face, and asked: "Mr. Jia, when will Liaodong be completely settled?"

Jia Heng looked at Li Chanyue and said: "Chanyue, this is out of the question. Three years, five years, eight years or ten years are possible. This is also my life's wish. What about Chanyue, do you have any wishes?"

Li Chanyue blinked her starry eyes and asked curiously, "Wish?"

Jia Heng asked: "Yes, besides the fulfilled wish of Mr. Ruyi, what are the other wishes?"

Li Chanyue blinked her bright eyes, but didn't react for a moment.

Xian Ning couldn't help laughing, seeing a brisk smile on his icy skin and beautiful face, he said softly, "Mister, are you talking about yourself?"

A smile appeared on Chen Xiaoqing's beautiful face. Watching Jia Heng talking to the two cousins, for some reason, she always felt a detachment from the angle of view, watching that person swaying in love, as if she had gained a certain kind of detachment It's hard to describe the feeling of loneliness and open-mindedness.

Li Chanyue thought for a while, then glanced at Jia Heng, Qingyue's voice was a little childish and sweet, and said: "Someone will accompany me to watch the fireworks, look at the clouds, go around, see many places, eat a lot food."

Jia Heng looked at the beautiful girl who was looking forward to, and smiled, his eyes were a little absent-minded, such a girl who he thought was just the boss of Jinyang and Xianning, seemed to have colorful fantasies in his heart.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered a sentence from my previous life, those are very good, but I just don't like them.

At least Chanyue likes him.

"Then there's nothing to do in the north, I'll take Chanyue around." Jia Heng nodded and said with a light smile.

Li Chanyue's eyes fluttered, and she said softly: "There is also my cousin."

While everyone was talking, they walked along the mountain path and climbed to the foot of the mountain. Princess Jinyang pointed to the waterfall in the distance and said with a light smile, "Ziyu, there is a waterfall in front of us. Let's go there to rest?"

Although the Qixia Mountain at this time had not been developed, the artificial facilities along the mountain road were relatively complete because Jinling literati and inkmen often climbed the mountain to view the scenery.

A few people came between the rocks, and there was a crashing sound, falling from the mountain stream and hitting the pond, making a sound like broken jade.

Jia Heng stretched out his hand to hold the hands of Li Chanyue and Princess Xianning, and said softly, "Don't fall."

These two are the ones he wants to marry back home, and they still need to take care of them.

Princess Jinyang said: "There is a stone bench over here, sit here and rest for a while."

At this time, Lianxue and the female officer took the mats, spread them over, and waited for Princess Jinyang, Princess Xianning, and Princess Qinghe to sit down.

Looking at the autumn scenery in the mountains, Jia Heng felt a little bit about the life of a hermit who waits for the clouds and wild cranes.

After everyone sat down, Li Chanyue shook the embroidered shoes under her skirt, looked at the boy with eyes full of water, and said, "Mr. Jia, why don't you tell a story."

Everyone stared at the boy, with anticipation unavoidably in their eyes.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Then let me tell a story about Smiling Proud."

As he spoke, he told the story of The Swordsman.

Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands in the golden basin until he reached the demon saint of the Green Clothes Lane.

Chen Xiao's clear eyes flickered under her beautiful eyebrows, and she looked at the young man with a strange look on her face. Is this demon saint talking about her?
Li Chanyue's lustrous eyes were projected on the young man, with a look of yearning on her face, she said: "Mr. Jia's story is well told. I don't know if it's like this in this rivers and lakes."

Why does Mr. Jia hide so many stories in his heart?

Jia Heng looked at Liu Meixingyan, a girl with pink cheeks and as beautiful as peaches and Li Fangfei, and asked, "You can ask your cousin Xiao."

Chen Xiao glanced at Jia Heng, snorted coldly, met the little princess's clear gaze, and said, "It's not as he said, but it's true that people's hearts are sinister."

Li Chanyue wanted to ask again, but at this moment, the young man said in a young voice: "Okay, don't inquire, right now my mouth is dry from telling stories, Chanyue give me some water to drink. "

Li Chanyue's cheeks were reddish, she didn't know what to think of, she glanced at Jia Heng in embarrassment.

Mr. Xiao Jia is really too bad.

At this time, Princess Xianning took a water bottle from the female officer, handed it over, and said with concern in her clear eyes, "Sir, drink some water."

Jia Heng nodded, picked up the water bottle and took a sip, then handed it to Xianning, saying: "It's not hot today, we can walk more, let's go up? There's a gazebo up there."

Princess Jinyang was looking at Jia Heng and Princess Xianning who were talking with a smile, and said softly, "Ziyu, Chanyue and Xianning are probably tired, rest here for a while, let's go up the mountain together. "

"Auntie, I'm not tired." Princess Xianning put down the water bottle in her hand, raised her brows, and looked intently at the graceful beauty.

Princess Jinyang's Chun Shan raised her eyebrows, and she glanced at Princess Xianning with her beautiful eyes, and said softly, "You're tired."

Princess Xianning: "???"

This man knew how to bully her, every time in front of her husband.

Jia Heng: "..."

For some reason, he wanted to laugh, but he also wanted to spend more time with Jinyang alone. Seeing that Xianning had turned his face in aggrieved manner, he could only smooth things over and said softly, "Xianning, stay with Chanyue for a while. , the eldest princess and I will go up for a walk, and we will come down later."

Li Chanyue was also a bit worried, she took Princess Xianning's hand, and said comfortingly: "Cousin, my feet still hurt, I just rest here for a while."

Princess Xianning nodded, staring at Jia Heng with bright eyes, and said: "Sir, go up and be careful."

She was worried that the man would be obsessed with her husband again and forget about her and Chanyue again.

Just like that, Jia Heng accompanied Princess Jinyang up the mountain path, stopped in an octagonal pavilion with vermilion beams and pillars, and looked at the mountains surrounded by clouds and mists. It was late autumn, and the frosty leaves Layers of dyeing, fiery red.

Jia Heng stretched out his hand to gently take the beauty's slender hand, and the two hugged each other, staring at the mountain scenery in the distance.

Princess Jinyang snuggled her head tightly into Jia Heng's arms, with a smile on her plump and charming face, she said softly: "Do you think this Palace is too strict?"

Jia Heng said: "That's not true. I came out this time to accompany you more, but you are so fierce, and you want me to coax her later."

He was just thinking about whether it was because he stayed overnight in Xianning and Chanyue yesterday that Jinyang deliberately beat Xianning.

Of course, Jinyang probably felt that Xianning was too entangled with him.

The eldest princess of Jinyang said quietly: "The little girl likes to cling to people, and she doesn't care about the consequences. Now the officials and nobles in the capital, almost everyone who is on the stage knows that Xianning is in love with you, but they all have a tacit understanding. If it wasn't for you, who were either helping to supervise the salt affairs, or winning consecutive victories in the battle against the captives, I'm afraid there will be some gossip."

After this person came to the south of the Yangtze River, he has won big victories one after another. Except for some women in Beijing who don't know the depth and rely on the old to sell the old, they are now so shocked that they can't say anything strange.

It can be said that victory and success are weapons that overwhelm all voices of criticism.

Jia Heng looked far away, wrapped his arms around Princess Jinyang's plump waist, and whispered: "Xianning dares to love and hate, but he is actually similar to you."

The eldest princess of Jinyang said: "Alas, in fact, it is not easy for Princess Shang to be a son-in-law. At that time, she and the Tian family became a family. There are some things that are not like you when you are outside court. Look at the Lianghuai Transit envoys, Guo Shaonian and the others."

Jia Heng smiled lightly and said, "After returning to Beijing, I will act cautiously."

"However, you are now in the midst of prosperity. After the previous defeat of Donglu, the emperor will rely more on you, and you should be more careful in your actions in the future." Princess Jinyang said softly.

Jia Heng held Princess Jinyang's hand and sat down beside her, and said softly: "Isn't it because you are still here?"

Liren snuggled into Jia Heng's arms and asked, "I haven't asked you yet, what happened last night? Xianning, Chanyue and the others..."

Jia Heng smiled and said: "I didn't do anything, I just hugged and had a conversation last night, I haven't talked to Xianning and Chanyue for a while."

Speaking of this, I can't help but think of Chanyue's shyness yesterday.

Princess Jinyang sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "I'm not stopping you, these two little girls are ignorant, you have to treat them well."

Jia Heng gently sniffed the fragrance of the beauty's hair, and said softly, "I will."

Clinging to the corner of the beauty's lips, snatching and plundering the familiar sweetness.

The two talked for a while, clasped their hands and fingers, and quietly looked at the beautiful scenery in the mountains. The misty clouds and mists were like mist, covering the winding and undulating mountains.

Jia Heng caressed the shoulder of Princess Jinyang Yang, feeling a sudden feeling in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Jinyang, in another ten, twenty, thirty years, we have to climb Qixia Mountain again."

Princess Jinyang said "hmm" first, then couldn't help laughing suddenly, and said, "In 30 years, I won't be able to go up the mountain at that time."

When it comes to the end, it is inevitable that there will be a sense of loss in my heart.

After 30 years, she is an old woman.

"When the time comes, I'll carry you up." Jia Heng took Li Ren's hand, held it tightly, and said in a firm tone.

Princess Jinyang snorted softly, her soft and beautiful face showed a calm expression, she couldn't help but said shyly, "Can you recite it?"

A little bit of sweetness welled up in her heart, and she knew he wasn't lying to him.

After a while, Princess Jinyang said softly: "Go down and call Xianning and Chanyue, Xianning is not sure why he is gnashing his teeth at me."

At the end, I couldn't help laughing.

Jia Heng held Princess Jinyang's hand, and said in a warm voice, "Xianning is usually a little messy, and she is still very respectful to you."

He was indeed very respectful last night, he didn't dislike it at all when he was messing around, and he ate heartily.

Princess Jinyang didn't say anything else, followed Jia Heng down the previous mountain path, and called the two girls who were resting.

Afterwards, Jin Yang accompanied the eldest princess of Jinyang around Qixia Mountain, and did not return to the eldest princess's mansion until evening.

……

……

Time is like the clouds and mist above Qixia Mountain, sometimes rolling and sometimes relaxing, and before you know it, another five or six days pass.

In the past few days, apart from accompanying Jinyang, Xianning, Chanyue, and Yingying Yanyan from Ningguo Mansion to enjoy places of interest and historical sites, Jia Heng went to Jiangnan Jiangbei Daying to handle official business, and in the meantime went to Li Shouzhong A guest at home.

The reorganization of the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps went smoothly, and the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Naval Academy in Chongmingsha also successfully started under the auspices of Jia Heng.

And on this day, the generals and schools of the Denglai Navy and Fuzhou Navy who were chasing the remnants of the pirates also sent the results of the battle one after another, and then went to Chongmingsha to see Jia Heng.

Chongmingsha, Jiangnan Naval Academy
The temporary reed shed stood quietly in the autumn rain. Jia Heng was receiving the visiting envoy Yan Dong of the Fujian capital, and Hou Jisi, the commander of the Shandong capital, and other generals of the Denglai and Fuzhou navies.

In the past few days, all kinds of wood, stone and soil materials have been transported to Chongmingsha Island for the construction of the school and teaching dormitories. Although under Jia Heng's urging, the construction progress has been accelerated in full swing, it will take another month to complete.

Yan Dong, commander of the Fujian capital, looked at the young honorable boy opposite, and said, "Uncle Yongning, the Fuzhou navy now has [-] troops, but it is not a permanent establishment, but divided into several guards, but it is classified by the capital as a division every year. Sailors conduct training in unison."

Jia Heng said: "If I want to directly attack Liaodong with a navy, I need to integrate the navy of several places to build a navy that can go to the ocean for the first time."

Hou Jisi, the commander of the Shandong capital, nodded his head and said in agreement, "What Uncle Yongning said is true. After the previous battle, this navy has a lot to do. If my big man can have a navy that goes straight to Liaodong, it will definitely restrain the Jurchen. strength."

Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps are preparing to build a naval division, adding an admiral of the naval division. This is a military general of the second rank, and he can lead troops to conquer Liaodong in the future. division.

Jia Heng said: "That's exactly what I mean. When we go back, the navy of Denglai and Fuzhou should keep performing. When the time comes, the navy should be used in the national war."

All the naval officers present at the scene nodded in agreement when they heard the words.

At the same time, on the official road outside Jinling City, the willow trees that had already withered their green leaves made a hoarse rustling sound in the bleak autumn wind.

Suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves from a distance, dozens of horsemen galloped outside Jinling City, most of the people on the saddles had dusty looks on their faces.

"My lord, Jinling City is here." Duan Dianjun beside him stretched out his hand and pointed at the Jinling City ahead, and said respectfully to the young man beside him.

The king of Chu was dressed in a jade-green warrior uniform, with a rhinoceros jade belt around his waist, Chaoyun official boots on his feet, and a green hairpin in his hair. Hearing this, he pulled the reins in his hand, raised his slightly sinister face, and raised his eyes. Looking at the city gate tower, looking at the twilight, under the slanting wind and drizzle, Jinling City stands tall, ancient and quiet, nodded and said: "Go to Zhen's Mansion."

When the thick and dark night fell, the King of Chu led more than ten riders and rode their horses into Jinling City.

Jinling, Zhen's house

In the attic of the backyard, Zhen Qing was sitting with Zhen Xue, with her hair off her head, her long hair hanging down behind her shoulders, on that beautiful face that looked like a peony stamen, there were several With a look of deep thought, he asked: "Sister, let's go to Ningguo Mansion to find Ziyu tomorrow."

"Let's go." The hairpin in Zhen Xue's hand moved slightly, and her white and snowy face was flushed, and she said softly, "Sister, why are you looking for it again?"

She remembered that when Tian Ziyu came back from victory the day before, the two of them had to meet each other first, why did her sister have such a big addiction.

"That bastard has been enjoying himself the past few days, playing around with the girls in the mansion and Xin Xin." Zhen Qing said in a low voice.

In the past five or six days, apart from military affairs, Jia Heng accompanied Chai Dai, Xiang Yun and others to play around, visiting the eighteen scenic spots of Jinling.

Through the mouths of Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi, this matter naturally reached Zhen Qing's ears.

Zhen Xue smiled lightly, her delicate and picturesque eyebrows were as delicate as flowers, her red lips were bright, and her white and snowy cheeks were full of joy, she said: "The past few days have really made Xin Xin very happy."

Zhen Qing smiled lightly, and said, "I see him pampering Xinxin, as if he were my own daughter."

Looking at it this way, my sister and Ziyu are a family of three.

Thinking of this, Zhen Qing moved closer to Zhen Xue's ear and said, "If my sister gives birth to him a child, I don't know how he should pamper her."

"Sister, you're talking nonsense again." Hearing this, Zhen Xue's heart skipped a beat, and there was a hint of shyness between Wen Ning's graceful eyebrows and eyes.

My sister usually likes to tease her.

Zhen Qing looked at her own sister with a smile on her face, and thought to herself, only when the younger sister has her child can she completely tie down that bastard.

Zhen Xue sighed softly, and suddenly said, "Sister, Zi Yu seems to be returning to Beijing these days."

"I know, my sister can return to the capital with him at that time." Zhen Qing looked at Zhen Xue with a half-smile, and said softly, "I won't be able to go back then."

She will stay in Jinling for a long time, and the prince will probably come over again in the next few days.

Zhen Xuezhi nodded, and said softly, "Xinxin also said that she was homesick these past two days, and wanted to go back to Shenjing with her godfather."

Perhaps Zhen Qing's "nagging" played a role, suddenly, a nanny said under the verandah: "Wangfei, the prince is here."

Zhen Qing's face changed slightly while she was talking, and she looked at her sister, feeling flustered for some reason.

Zhen Qing was silent for a moment, she settled down, the bright smile on her snowy face gradually disappeared, and she said softly: "My sister will wait here first, I will go to meet you."

Saying that, he called the female officer and left the attic.

At this moment, in the front hall, the King of Chu was wearing a jade-colored robe, sitting on a pear-blossom chair, talking to Zhen Yingjia, Zhen Shao, Zhen Xuan, and Zhen Zhu. Then greeted the past.

With a smile on his face, the King of Chu asked, "This time, I was helping to escort the ordnance. When I was in Henan, I heard that Yongningbo had won a big victory. I don't know how that battle was fought?"

He was really curious that this Jia Ziyu was so brave, facing twice as many captives, he was able to defeat them so quickly.

Zhen Yingjia was about to speak, when suddenly the mother outside called out loudly: "My lord, my concubine is here."

Everyone followed the sound, and saw Princess Chu Zhen Qing in a plain dress of lotus root, walking gracefully and gracefully, the beauty's seductive, glamorous face like a peony stamen was covered with a prosperous smile, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" When did you come?"

"Princess." Hearing this, the King of Chu got up from his seat, went up to meet the general, looked at the beautiful woman who was vaguely three points more beautiful than before leaving Beijing, and looked like a beautiful and heavenly peony, and called softly.

I don't know if it's his illusion, the princess seems to be more beautiful than the last time I saw her, with every frown and smile, the charming charm and demeanor can be seen in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

At this moment, even though she is wearing a lily pigment skirt, she is walking gracefully and gracefully, with a beautiful smile and a dignified and gorgeous attitude.

Zhen Qing sat down on the pear wood chair with her round and crisp curls like a millstone, under the peach heart bun made of elegant silk, her seductive and bright face smiled sweetly, and asked: "Is the prince escorting you?" With the ordnance, why didn't you go to the camp?"

"Ordnance is in Yangzhou now, and has entered the Jiangbei camp. I said I want to find Jia Ziyu." The king of Chu said warmly with an excited voice.

Then he looked at Princess Zhen Qing, and asked curiously: "Jia Ziyu defeated the pirates in Jinling earlier, I heard that he was invincible in naval battles, and even captured Jurchen Prince Duoduo alive?"

Because they are all a family and have a lot of political activities in private, the king of Chu didn't shy away too much.

Zhen Qing raised her long, narrow and clear phoenix eyes, and looked at the King of Chu who had an interested expression on her face, her lustrous eyes flickered, and for some reason, she couldn't help thinking about something.

That bastard was not only terrific in sea battles, but also... terrific when galloping across her body.

Thinking of this, Zhen Qing's heart skipped a beat, she felt her cheeks were slightly hot, her delicate body was soft, she quickly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, and her charming eyes were a little absent-minded.

What's wrong with her?Why do you think of the entanglement with that bastard in front of the prince?
Well, it's all the fault of that bastard, asking the prince in her ear over and over again, she has been turned into a bad woman.

Zhen Qing smiled and said: "It is true that the Jurchen Prince was captured alive, and now the fourth sister is in the Ningguo Mansion. I used to go there often, and I can be regarded as a witness of the whole process."

The burden needs to be buried in advance, and the prince of the province later heard that she often went to Ningguo Mansion, and became suspicious again.

"My father-in-law also told me just now that he promised his fourth sister to Jia Ziyu." The king of Chu couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, and sighed on his face, and said with emotion: "It's rare for the old lady to handle it like this."

After talking with Zhen Yingjia just now, the King of Chu has found out about the defeat of Zhen Zhu's army and the news that Mrs. Zhen promised Zhen Xi to Jia Heng.

Well, he and Jia Ziyu are now brothers-in-law.
