The Red Mansions

Chapter 824 Jia Heng: Child?what child
Ningguo Mansion

The misty rain was hazy, and the courtyard was locked. Jia Heng walked through the moon door opening in the flower wall, entered an elegant and unique courtyard, and entered the hall. Through the curtain, he said softly, "Sister Xi'er, are you alright?"

Because tonight I made an appointment with Zhen Qing and the King of Chu to meet at the restaurant in Gantang Manor, and I said before that I would bring Zhen Xi, a relative.

"Okay." At this moment, Zhenxi came out from the back room. The girl was wearing a blue-and-white lotus-colored skirt, and her palm-sized face was filled with surprise. Well, why are you still taking me?"

Having said that, the girl's joy could hardly be concealed between her brows and eyes.

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Xi, petite and exquisite, with a palm-sized oval face, almost the youthful version of Zhen Xue, especially the gentle and quiet between the childish eyebrows and eyes, which was more or less similar.

He approached, holding the girl's hand, and said in a gentle voice: "This time is a family feast, your sister is bringing your brother-in-law, King Chu, so I have to take you."

The gentleness in the fingers reveals a little bit to the pretty girl, and it seems that she can be happy all day.

At this moment, Zhenxi's slender catkins were held by Jia Heng, under the curved willow-leaf eyebrows, there was shame and joy in those aura-like eyes, and he said angrily: "Brother Heng."

At this moment, the girl's heart was full of sweetness, and she was even a little flattered, because Jia Heng wandered around the residence of Chai Dai and Princess Jinyang these days, and although she usually didn't say indifference to Zhen Xi, she didn't have any private interactions with her. .

And in the earliest time, Jia Heng kissed Zhen Xi, and for the girl, she was in love.

Jia Heng said: "It's raining today, the ground is slippery, don't fall down."

As he spoke, he pulled Zhenxi out of the Ningguo Mansion, boarded the carriage, and the carriage pushed through a layer of misty rain and fog, and ran over the bluestone streets. After a while it was covered again by rain.

Jia Heng said: "Sister Xi'er, are you still used to being in the mansion these few days?"

In the past few days, although he didn't get along with Zhen Xi privately, he also took Zhen Xi with him when he visited the eighteen scenic spots in Jinling.

Zhen Xi's voice was soft and slender, and said: "Brother Heng is in a hurry, but he should come to take care of me. Besides, there are quite a lot of sisters, and Brother Heng can't take care of them."

She was originally inconspicuous, and she was sent by the clan to serve Brother Heng.

Jia Heng looked at the girl, gently lifted his smooth and round chin, and said, "I'm really busy during this time." "

Zhen Xi's cheeks were blushing, and just as she was about to move away, she felt warm breath rushing towards her face.

After a while, Jia Heng said in a low voice: "When we get to Beijing, there will be more sisters, and younger sisters will be more lively."

Such a little girl like a white rabbit, if she meets someone as jealous as Sister Feng, she will be played to death.

Zhen Xi gave a soft "hmm" like a mosquito, and immediately leaned his head against Jia Heng's arms.

Gantang Villa
The manor opened by the Zhen family is based on the maiden surname of Zhen Qing's mother, Gan's, and the owner of the business is also Zhen Qing's uncle. This restaurant integrates viewing, eating, and leisure, and it is somewhat like a resort for later generations. In terms of vision, Uncle Zhen Qing has been able to manage things well in recent years, and has made a lot of money for the Zhen family.

In the evening, the twilight was dim, the rain fell on the eaves, and the rainwater flowed along the bluestone road to the side canal, and the row upon row of houses had already lit up a little spark.

Jia Heng took Zhenxi to this restaurant in a carriage, because he was worried that the king of Chu would recognize Chen Xiao, so he didn't take him with him on the way.

At this moment, King Chu took Zhen Qing's hand and stood in the hall waiting for Jia Heng. After a while, the street at the end of the line of sight turned around, and a carriage rushed to help along the official road paved with blue bricks and stones.

"Here we come." The King of Chu whispered to Zhen Qing who was beside him, his expression was a little excited on his fair and elegant face.

Zhen Qing felt the joy of the King of Chu from the side, just smiled slightly, and looked at the carriage on the street.

Not long after, I saw the young man come down from the carriage with the curtain first, holding an apricot yellow umbrella. At this moment, the surrounding wind and rain were dark, and he alone propped up a space to isolate the surrounding wind and rain.

Immediately, a girl in a blue and white plain skirt stepped on the embroidered shoes on the spotless bluestone road washed by the rain, her childish and beautiful face was full of calm and joyful smiles.

Jia Heng looked at King Chu and his concubine Zhen Qing who were not far away, his eyes stayed on Zhen Qing's face for a moment, and then he looked at King Chu again.

"Ziyu." The King of Chu walked a few steps quickly and walked towards him, calling enthusiastically.

Zhen Qing hurriedly followed up with her umbrella, her eyes glanced at the girl not far away, the petite bare hand had already firmly fallen into the bastard's hand.

Well, he and Sister Xi'er really look like a good match.

Jia Heng handed the umbrella in his hand to Zhen Xi who was at the side, bowed his hands and saluted: "My lord."

The king of Chu also noticed the intimacy between Jia Heng and Zhenxi beside him, he was overjoyed secretly, his face was like a spring breeze, and he said softly: "Ziyu, it has been a few months since I left Shenjing, and Ziyu's style is even more beautiful than before. , Now that it is so powerful in the south of the Yangtze River, it has even broken the hearts of the people in Shenjing."

Jia Heng smiled and said: "Your Highness is too famous."

Reach out and don't hit the smiling man, not to mention, he should also give Mopan a face.

King Chu complimented, smiled and stretched out his hand to invite: "Zi Yu, please come inside."

Jia Heng nodded, and couldn't help but glanced at the beautiful and gorgeous Princess Chu, who just happened to meet a pair of charming phoenix eyes, her heart moved slightly, and she didn't say much. Go to the manor.

After a while, everyone entered an attic, on the second floor, in a spacious and elegant box——

In order to entertain Jia Heng, he specially chose the attic where distinguished guests are usually entertained, and the surrounding trees are shaded, so people rarely come here.

Jia Heng exchanged a few words with the King of Chu, and divided the guests and hosts into their seats.

The smile on the face of the King of Chu did not diminish, and he complimented: "Ziyu, in the previous battle of Haimen, Ziyu turned the tide and put down the captives. The soldiers and people in the north and south were excited when they heard about it. Now that Chongmingsha has won the victory and captured Prince Jurchen alive, Ziyu is really unparalleled in strategy. A rare famous general in the world, Xiao Wang Jing Ziyu has a cup."

Jia Heng raised the wine cup, met those scorching gazes, and said: "My lord is over-reputed. The previous victories, one is that Lai Shengshang Demu's army gathered together, and the general died in service. Only when we are tired can we achieve the great victory before.”

Zhen Qing was quietly listening to the conversation between the King of Chu and Jia Heng, Rose's lips curled up into a faint smile, and her clear eyes lingered on the wine cups in the hands of Jia Heng and the King of Chu.

Jia Heng put down the wine cup, looked at the King of Chu calmly, and asked, "I just asked the prince, how is the body of the holy dragon?"

The King of Chu said: "Father is in charge of state affairs, and he still eats clothes and eats food. The mother has persuaded him several times, but Ziyu has won many battles in the south. Father is not as worried as before. Everything is fine. Father is very happy to say that the sweet potato production in Henan is high, and speaking of it, this year is flooded in Huaibei and flooded in the north and south, a lot of grain production has been reduced, and the people are in danger of starvation, thanks to Ziyu's sweet potatoes."

Jia Heng said with emotion: "Your Majesty puts all his heart and soul into Zhongxing, and it's a lot of hard work. As for me, I'm just doing my duty as a courtier to share the worries of my father."

King Chu's eyes fell on Jia Heng's face, he smiled, and asked, "I don't know when Ziyu will return to the capital? The Jurchen Prince should also be the threshold to send the capital to the capital."

"Just in the last few days, we will start our journey when things are cleared up here, and I will personally escort them." Jia Heng said in a low voice, his face changed after plastic surgery.

There is indeed nothing serious here in the south of the Yangtze River. It will be winter if we stay here any longer, and it will be difficult to be a teacher at that time.

Zhen Qing's phoenix eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "My lord, when brothers Heng go back, Second Sister and Xin Xin will also follow, and the road will be safer."

Although what he said was a bit out of date, but the King of Chu knew that Shui Xin recognized Jia Heng as his godfather, and Princess Bei Jing accompanied her daughter, so it seemed reasonable.

The King of Chu nodded and said, "It's good if we can go back, Brother Shui Rong has also mentioned this matter."

As he said that, he looked at Jia Heng who was not far away, and said with a light smile: "Now that the Jurchen's plot to disrupt our Jiangnan has failed, it is bound to do something in the northern border. Yongning Bo should also go back and plan a strategy?"

Jia Heng nodded, and said: "The matter of dealing with captives is the most important matter of the imperial court, and should not be neglected."

This is the key, he is a fire extinguisher, the fire in the south of the Yangtze River has been extinguished, and he just returned to Shenjing.

The King of Chu agreed, "What Ziyu said is true."

The King of Chu didn't rashly talk about the second and fourth uncles of the Zhen family. The main reason for the first meeting was to maintain a good atmosphere.

The two toasted each other, had three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.

The king of Chu's cheeks were flushed, and his body smelled of alcohol. He looked up at Zhen Xi who was not far away, and said with a smile, "Zi Yu, now that the fourth sister has promised you, we will be considered a family in the future."

Jia Heng looked at the slightly embarrassed Zhen Xi in a blink of an eye, and said softly: "From the perspective of the fourth sister, it is indeed a family."

If we start from Zhen Qing, it's more like a family.

At this moment, the king of Chu was clearly drunk, and his hand holding the wine cup began to become unsteady.

"My lord, please drink less." Zhen Qing's glamorous melon-seeded face was almost as charming as a flower, like poppy petals in full bloom.

And with a "plop", the king of Chu lay down on the wine table, obviously passed out.

Jia Heng frowned and asked, "Is the prince drunk?"

Seeing this scene, Zhen Qing knew that the medicinal wine had worked, raised her charming and beautiful face to look at Jia Heng, smiled and said: "My lord is too strong to drink, Brother Heng, I will help my lord to rest first. "

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to support King Chu's arm.

The King of Chu snorted and fell into a complete coma.

Zhen Qing was obviously not as strong as the King of Chu, especially when the King of Chu was completely drunk, he looked like a dead body, and it was even more difficult to support him.

Jia Heng said: "Sister Xi'er, let me help you."

Pulling an arm of King Chu, he looked at Princess Chu Zhen Qing suspiciously.

He faintly felt that something was wrong, King Chu didn't seem to be drunk, but was overwhelmed by medicine, but he heard the sound of even breathing, which didn't seem like poison.

He had no choice but to temporarily suppress the suspicion in his heart, and planned to help the king of Chu go to the inner wing to rest.

Zhen Qing smiled and looked at Zhen Xi who was stunned and at a loss, and said, "Sister Xi'er, come up and help me too."

With all the support, it can avoid making people suspicious.

When Zhen Xi heard this, her pretty face froze for a moment, she responded with an "ah", and then followed the two towards the inner room.

At this moment, the inner room is slightly deeper, and the space is divided by screens, and candles are lit in the inner room.

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing thoughtfully, and said, "The King of Chu is usually so bad at drinking? He didn't have a few drinks just now, how could he be so drunk?"

Zhen Qing's expression remained unchanged, she smiled, and said in a low voice: "My lord must be too tired today."

Jia Heng's eyes flickered, and he felt something was wrong. Taking advantage of putting King Chu on the bed and covering the quilt with his hands, he sized up Zhen Qing who was blushing and red-cheeked, lowered his voice, and asked, "What's going on?" ?”

Zhen Qing was taken aback by Jia Heng's sudden approach in front of her, she fixed her beautiful eyes on the young man opposite, and said angrily, "What's going on?"

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, looked at the charming beauty, then glanced at the King Chu who was lying on the bed, leaned closer, and put his arms around Zhen Qing's plump waist.

"You...what are you going to do?" Zhen Qingfang's heart skipped a beat, but she felt herself falling into an embrace, and panic appeared in her eyes.

Jia Heng leaned close to Zhen Qing's ear, wondering, "Did you drug him?"

Zhen Qingfang's heart was beating wildly, and she said, "What are you talking about?"

Although he was confident in the efficacy of the medicinal wine, but the prince was lying on the side, and this bastard just hugged her like this, it was really unscrupulous.

Jia Heng patted the millstone, and immediately built a snowman, saying: "Otherwise, how could it be possible to be so drunk."

"Don't mess around, he may wake up at some point." Zhen Qing's bright and attractive cheeks were already blushing, her delicate body was soft, and for some reason, she felt that her mind was even more difficult to control.

Jia Heng held Li Ren's earlobe, lowered his voice and said, "It's you, don't act recklessly, the king of Chu is not guilty of death."

Although he really liked Zhen Qing, he didn't ask Zhen Qing to be the golden lotus who poisoned her husband.

Zhen Qing: "???"

No, when is she going to murder the prince?This bastard... is really self-righteous.

"You, stop making trouble." Zhen Qing grabbed Jia Heng's fiddling hand and said angrily, "I gave him sweat medicine, let him sleep to death first."

At this moment, Zhen Xi was already staring at the two people who were embracing each other in a daze, and glanced at the King of Chu who was lying on the bed.

This……

At this moment, the king of Chu on the bed closed his eyes tightly and snored like thunder.

Zhen Xi hurried to the stairs and started looking at the wind.

Jia Heng frowned, stood up almost indifferently, and asked, "You...don't you mean that?"

This is to express his determination to him, doing it in his arms, with the king of Chu lying beside him?Well, this determination is firm enough.

In fact, it was Jia Heng who misunderstood, Zhen Qing had no such intention.

Under the slender eyebrows of Zhen Qing's willow leaves, her eyes were as bright as water, she hesitated to speak, "Zi Yu, let me tell you something, eh~~"

But seeing the shadow approaching, it was gentle and soft, with a bit of domineering intention.

"What's the matter?" Jia Heng glanced at the King of Chu. Although he was obsessed with Zhen Qing, he always followed the King of Chu's movements.

"Ziyu, I...I might be pregnant with your child." Zhen Qing frowned, whispering in Jia Heng's ear, with a slightly complicated tone.

Hearing this, Jia Heng paused, almost froze on the spot, and said in a low voice, "You may be..."

Almost felt like I was hallucinating, kid?what child?
Zhen Qing had no choice but to repeat it again, and then she frowned, observing the young man's face, and said: "But I'm not sure, Yue Xin'er hasn't come for several days."

She also wanted to see how he behaved, whether he was still willing to treat her well after hearing that she had a child.

Do you care about her or not, maybe just for fun?Abandon the two of them?

Thinking of this, a hostility arose in Li Xin's heart, her long and narrow willow eyebrows raised, her phoenix eyes flickered coldly, how dare this bastard!
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, staring at the beauty with a changing face, embracing her plump waist, and gently stroking Zhen Qing's lower abdomen, as if feeling that a small life was being conceived, and her heart became more and more complicated.

Asked: "Have you let Lang Zhonghao have a pulse?"

"I haven't found a doctor yet. It was like this when Huai Chun was born last time. I have some doubts. Why, you hope it was a false alarm?" Zhen Qing lowered her voice, turned her pretty face, and said coldly: " Or do you think the child itself is a nuisance?"

After all, this princess had given birth once, so she should have some experience in this matter.

Jia Heng frowned, and said in a low voice: "You talk to yourself again, when did I say it was a trouble?"

Seeing this, Zhen Qing pursed her pink lips, and then her heart turned from annoyance to joy, her two lotus arms gently wrapped around Jia Heng's neck, she looked at the boy with love in her eyes, and said softly: " Then I was born?"

Jia Heng let out a "hmm", stared at the beauty, and said with a smile: "Give birth, ten or eight, it's not that I can't afford it."

"Do you think I'm a pig?" Zhen Qing was taken aback when she heard this, then pinched Jia Heng's waist in embarrassment, and said in a low voice.

The two were intimate for a while, and the snoring sounded like thunder on the bed.

Jia Heng looked at the bright and charming beauty with gentle eyes, and asked, "Then what are your plans? Where are you going to give birth?"

It was impossible for him to stay in the south of the Yangtze River and stay with Zhen Qing for ten months, and he really couldn't help her. Fortunately, this poisonous woman already had childbearing experience.

"It might be in the south of the Yangtze River, or it might be back to Beijing. I need to cover it up first, so as not to make him suspicious." Zhen Qing glanced at the king of Chu who was sleeping on the bed, her phoenix eyes flashed, obviously Very opinionated.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said: "Then stop making trouble today, it's not good for your body or your child."

At this time, it is still noisy, and it is easy to get rid of the child.

As for Zhen Qing, at this time, she needs to appease the vicious woman's emotions during pregnancy, but she can't be too used to it, and she is easy to be arrogant.

"It's because you insisted on messing around just now." Zhen Qing whispered coquettishly next to Jia Heng's ear, feeling the young man's pampering, and felt her heart was so sweet.

Judging from just now, this bastard still has some conscience, and if he is willing to keep this child, it is not in vain for her infatuation.

Thinking of this, Zhen Qing looked at the boy and slowly lowered her body.

Jia Heng's face was slightly condensed, and he lowered his eyes to look at the beautiful girl's bun, and quickly glanced at the King of Chu, seeing that he was snoring like thunder, so he was relieved for the time being, but then he felt a little weird.

After a while, Jia Heng looked at Li Ren, his eyes were puzzled, and then he suddenly realized.

It seems that this is the method of concealment that Zhen Qing thought of, and it is indeed a good method.

Zhen Qing's seductive cheeks like spring flowers were flushed, her phoenix eyes were as charming as silk, and she said shyly: "Okay, you can go quickly, don't delay my business."

At this moment, the beauty has got Jia Heng's "attitude", and she is in a state similar to the sweetness of the passionate love period. She has already fantasized about how mothers are more expensive than children in the future, and how to ascend to the queen's position.

Jia Heng looked at the snoring king of Chu, paused, and said, "Then be careful."
