The Red Mansions

Chapter 864 Qin Keqing: Your Husband's Vision...is Really Superior
Honor Hall

As soon as Jia Heng left, Mother Jia looked at the jade on the coffee table beside her, her complexion changed constantly, and she didn't know what it was like.

Recalling Jia Heng's auspicious words about psychic treasure jade, he glanced at Mrs. Wang with suspicion in his heart.

Is it true that, as brother Heng said, the psychic jade is man-made to play tricks on ghosts?

Needless to say, Mother Jia really regarded Baoyu as the psychic Baoyu was born, so she had high hopes since she was a child.

Otherwise, Jia Lian is also a grandson with first-class appearance and a great-grandson Jia Lan under his knees, but the pain does not exceed Baoyu's.

After being glanced at by Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang turned pale and looked at the jade beside her, clutching the Buddhist beads tightly in her hand.

The monk told her that the object was very strong, why did some cracks break out?
Mrs. Wang held the precious jade in her hand at this moment, rubbed it lightly, and found that although it was cracked, the inner lines were not damaged. As solid as ever.

If Jia Heng was here, Xu Hui's heart skipped a beat, and he probably wanted to say that this might really indicate something?
Has there been a crack in the former alliance of wood and stone?

At this time, Sister Feng came from the outside and asked worriedly: "Old lady, second lady."

Jia Mu hurriedly said: "Girl Feng, go and get someone to prepare some hand stoves and bedding for Baoyu to take to Baoyu. He is going to kneel in the ancestral hall. Don't freeze, it's such a cold day."

Sister Feng replied softly: "Old lady, don't worry, I just handed over to Ping'er, and some bedding and daily necessities in Sister Lin's house are also being moved to Dongfu."

Sister Feng is impeccable in her work.

Mother Jia nodded, sighed and said, "Their father and son really make me worry."

Sister Feng said: "Old lady, the master also has high hopes for Baoyu. Brother Heng still loves Baoyu, and hopes that Baoyu can support the family in the future."

There is such a big commotion today, the old lady must have some grudges in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Jia's mother said, "I know that brother Heng has good intentions, but Baoyu is still young after all, and Baoyu's father always shouts and kills."

Maybe it's because Jia's mother was a little tired after several times of tossing, or maybe after Tongling Baoyu got rid of the magical aura, her mentality has undergone a subtle change.

Sister Feng said in a low voice: "Old lady, I see that Jia Yun and Jia Fang are all promising now. I'm afraid Brother Bao will not succeed if he doesn't study in the future."

Mrs. Wang was listening next, and looked up at Sister Feng with a bit of anxiety in her eyes.

Sister Feng said: "Old lady, Brother Future Bao doesn't want to join the army, but wants to be an official. It is true that he must study the imperial examination, otherwise he will be an official. I asked outside, and it seems that there is no such saying."

When Jia Zhengen became an official in the first place, it was because of Jia Daishan's legacy of military exploits, and Baoyu couldn't take advantage of it at all.

Jia Mu said: "I didn't say that he should not be allowed to study. Once the school starts, he should be allowed to study."

Ningguo Mansion, Backyard Flower Hall
In the house, Yingying, Yanyan and Yanyan gather together, wearing hairpin skirts and jackets, shining with pearls and jade.

Qin Keqing sat and waited on the bed of Xiangba, You Shi, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You were also sitting on the side, and Cao Shi who came to visit was leading two daughters, Li Wen and Li Qi, sitting in You Shi Narrate next to you.

Mrs. Cao is obviously also smart and quick-witted, so she didn't bring her two daughters to join in the fun.

But the news of the West Mansion gradually spread, the news that Baoyu threw the jade in anger, and even smashed the psychic jade, everyone in the hall was shocked.

You Shi was surprised and said: "It is said that it was born with a mouth in its mouth. Why does it sound like it was broken?"

Third Sister You Yuyan was surprised, her pink lips parted slightly, and said softly: "Since it is jade, it is extremely brittle, so it is not surprising to break it."

Third Sister You smiled and said: "Sister, who is pregnant with a child, and the child is still biting a stone? And the stone is still engraved with words? Are the words or auspicious words? This is man-made. , Presumably it is for the birth of a child to be magical, like the golden lock of longevity, hanging around the neck, just for a good fortune."

Youshi glanced at Third Sister You reproachfully, and said, "Sister Third."

The third sister is so outspoken, isn't she afraid of offending Xi Fu?

"I'm telling the truth, this is not even mentioned in the romance novels. Maybe the nanny stuffed it into the child's mouth during childbirth, insisting that it was brought during the birth." Third Sister You chuckled With a sound, there was a little sarcasm in his eyes.

You Shi frowned, and stopped: "Okay, the more you say it, the less it will look like it. Don't talk about it."

Qin Keqing, who was sitting upright, was wearing a big red dress, and the charming phoenix eyes under the crescent eyebrows rolled slightly, and she was charming, and asked a nanny, "Have you cleaned up all the courtyards on the west side of Huifang Garden? "

The nanny said: "When I go back to grandma, it has already been packed, the bedding is newly changed, the furniture has been scrubbed again, and the hand stove and incense burner are being prepared."

Because Daiyu was coming to live, she naturally had to clean up a courtyard for living.

Qin Keqing asked: "Tell the warehouse that the quality must be top-notch. I'll take a look for myself later."

Sister Lin and Sister Xue are both husband's favourites, so don't neglect them.

Youshi's gentle and jade face is not like the plain face in Jinling, but light makeup is painted on the eyebrows, eyes and cheeks, and the earrings hanging on the earlobe are emerald green, making the skin on the delicate neck white and greasy like snow.

At this moment, looking at the girl in a gorgeous dress with a graceful demeanor, her eyes flickered, and she thought, only this kind of generosity can tie the heart of her man.

At this time, a servant girl called out from under the eaves: "Grandma, the uncle has led Ms. Xue and Ms. Lin over here."

And the people who were talking got up and looked up, only to see Jia Heng and a group of Yingying and Yanyan coming.

Besides Baochai and Daiyu, there are Xiangyun, Baoqin, Tanchun and some servant girls.

At this moment, Daiyu's tear-stained cheeks are still there, her bright starry eyes see the gloomy look, and she stares at the people in the hall.

"Husband." Qin Keqing walked up and called Jia Heng, and then saw the girl with pear blossoms and rain, took Daiyu's plain hand and said, "Sister Lin."

Jia Heng asked: "Have you tidied up the place where you live?"

"It's been arranged. It's in the courtyard not far from Huifang Garden. The furniture and bedding have been replaced with new ones. It's good for Sister Lin to live there." Qin Keqing took Daiyu's soft hand and said softly: " Sister Lin, go into the hall and talk, it's very cold outside."

While speaking, everyone entered the flower hall.

Qin Keqing took Daiyu's hand, sat down on the Arhat bed, and said comfortingly: "My sister can live here with peace of mind, as long as it's my own home. After all the garden arrangements are ready, my sister and a few younger sisters will be ready to go." Live in it, and the garden will be more lively at that time."

Daiyu raised her head at this moment, looked at the beauty with a charming face like a beautiful peony, and said softly: "Sister Qin, please."

This is Brother Heng's best match.

Qin Keqing smiled, and said softly: "We are all a family, so don't worry about any trouble."

When Baochai heard this, she paused and glanced at Jia Heng.

Jia Heng looked at Qin Keqing and said, "Keqing, you settle down with Sister Lin, I'll go to the study first, after lunch, I have to meet the saint in the afternoon."

Ordinarily he should comfort Daiyu, but it is actually more appropriate for Keqing to do it at this time, and it is also a respect for Keqing's status.

Qin Keqing nodded her head, and under her beautiful eyebrows, her eyes were as bright as water, and she said: "Husband, go, I will send someone to call you when it's time for dinner."

Jia Heng stared at Daiyu, met a gaze that was as soft as Xiaoxiang water, and said, "Sister Lin, stay here with peace of mind, and don't worry about the rest."

Daiyu responded and watched Jia Heng leave.

Qin Keqing looked at the affectionate girl with a smile, and said softly: "Sister Lin, there are many sisters in the house, and it is usually very lively, and we can be much closer when we are together."

Sister Lin looks a little petite, but the tenderness and gracefulness between her eyebrows and eyes is indeed charming. Compared with Sister Xue, she responds to the words of ring fat, swallows and thin.

Well, my husband's eyesight... is really outstanding.

At this moment, the nurse outside said: "The fourth girl, the second girl, and the cousin girl are here."

While talking, Yingchun, Xichun, and Xing Xiuyan came from outside and called, "Sister-in-law."

Qin Keqing smiled and said: "As we talk, you should come over. Your sister Lin is here, come and talk together."

Several people came to talk with Daiyu and comfort the girl.

In the study——

Jia Heng lifted the curtain and entered the wing room, stared blankly, cast her eyes on Zhen Lan who was reading a book next to the lacquered wooden table, and asked, "Sister Lan, why are you here?"

When Zhen Lan heard this, she quickly put down the book in her hand, looked at the young man with joy in her eyes, and asked, "I came over after eating early in the morning, Brother Heng just came from the West Mansion?"

Jia Heng nodded, sat down and said, "Why didn't you see Sister Xi'er?"

"Sister, she is doing needlework in the house. She said she is embroidering some sachets for Brother Heng." Zhen Lan said softly, and then picked up the teapot beside her to pour tea for Jia Heng.

"Well, let me go and see her later." Jia Heng looked up at Zhen Lan and asked, "Sister Lan is still used to living in the mansion?"

"Well, I'm used to it, except that it's a bit cold here, it's no different from home." Zhen Lan said softly, handed the tea cup to Jia Heng, and asked, "Brother Heng just went to the West Mansion?"

Jia Heng nodded and said, "Something happened in the West Mansion, did you hear it?"

Zhen Lan gave a "huh" and sighed: "In fact, our family also has a Baoyu, who usually doesn't study much and plays with his sisters. His grandmother dotes on him very much. Now his family is in trouble. It was bleak."

Jia Heng put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "Sister Lan'er."

At this time, Zhen Lan looked at the young man with bright eyes, and said, "Brother Heng is capable. Our Zhen family is not as lucky as the Jia family, and we have such capable people as Brother Heng."

Jia Heng said softly: "Sister Lan'er is overrated. If sister Lan'er is homesick, you can write letters home. Don't be too hard on yourself. The responsibility of revitalizing the Zhen family should not be on your shoulders." .”

Zhen Lan heard the words, her jade face was slightly stagnant, her heart trembled, she raised her head and looked at the young man, her eyes gradually became moist, her voice was also slightly choked up: "Brother Heng."

As she said that, with tears in her eyes, she rushed over, hugged Jia Heng's waist like a sucking swallow throwing herself into a forest, and sobbed non-stop.

Brother Heng understands her. If she is a man, she will make great achievements like Brother Heng, and she will definitely not end up in the situation where her house was ransacked earlier.

Jia Heng was stunned, and said in a low voice, "Sister Lan'er."

At this moment, the young girl's delicate body is soft, the scent of orchid and musk lingering in her hair fills her nostrils and sleeves, her shaved shoulders twitch non-stop, she doesn't know whether she is really out of control or intentional.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, gently stroking Zhen Lan's shoulders with both hands, comforting her, and after a while, passed the handkerchief over and said, "Sister Lan'er, wipe away your tears."

This is not the time to defeat Zhen Lan.

Zhen Lan took the handkerchief, but did not wipe away her tears, but raised her foggy eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Heng, what should I do in the future?"

Jia Heng said softly: "Sister Lan, this is not your responsibility, there are still your eldest sister and the others in the house."

Looking at the girl's delicate and picturesque eyes, Jia Heng couldn't help but think of Mopan, and wondered how she and Zhen Xue were doing in Jiangnan.

During his journey from Jinling to Shenjing, Mopan and Zhenxue probably had severe morning sickness during the period in between.

There is also Jinyang, I don't know if they are pregnant with a boy or a girl, and they will ride a fast horse to Jinling in the next year.

At this moment, Jia Heng was taken aback for a moment, but saw that the girl did not know when, taking advantage of the moment when she was in a daze, she had already stepped on her feet, and brought her cheek closer, and the youthful aura that only belonged to Jiji girls rushed towards her face. The lips touched her own lips, soft and slightly moist, but obviously a little clumsy, and they didn't know what to do other than sticking together.

Jia Heng moved away slightly, stared at the girl, and said, "Sister Lan, what are you doing?"

Zhen Lan's personality and Zhen Qing's have quite a lot in common, otherwise, which girl would do such a thing as kissing him when she comes up?

Zhen Lan's face, which was as beautiful as flowers and sapphires, blushed into a glow, her long and narrow phoenix eyes were as bright as water, and she said aggrievedly: "Brother Heng, I..."

She is so disregarding the reservedness of her daughter's family, what else does Brother Heng want her to do?Actually... still dodged?
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Lan firmly, and pondered: "Sister Lan is planning to use my strength to help the Zhen family, but there is no need for it."

Zhen Lan's heart trembled slightly when she heard the words, she mustered up her courage, fixed her eyes on the young man, and said, "I...I really like Big Brother Heng."

As he said that, he felt ashamed and anxious, looked at the young man, and said, "Brother Heng, you like me too, right? If you don't like me, why did you want to stand up for me in the Zhen family? And why did you bring me to the capital?"

Jia Heng looked at the girl's teary eyes, and said: "Some of it is because of Xi'er, plus the friendship with the Zhen family. Of course, I really appreciate Sister Lan's character."

Among them, Zhen Qing's reason accounts for a large part, after all, it is Zhen Qing's youth version.

It's just that, at first, I wanted to stay longer, but I didn't expect the girl to lose her composure, or it was a bit in line with Zhen Lan's temperament, and she didn't wait for him to arrange it step by step.

It's just that he was not used to it.

Hearing the young man's words of appreciation, Zhen Lan narrowed her misty bright eyes, her clear brows showed joy and shame, hugged Jia Heng's waist tightly, and said softly: "Brother Heng really likes me."

Jia Heng: "..."

Zhen Lan raised her narrow phoenix eyes and said, "Brother Heng, let me follow you from now on. I will serve you with Sister Xi'er."

The sisters served Big Brother Heng together, whether it was Xue Lin or that sister Qin, they would not be able to catch up in the future.

She thought about it for a long time along the way, and she stayed up all night last night.

Brother Heng is currently in charge of the brocade clothes inside and the Beijing camp outside. In the future, as he becomes more and more powerful, in the history, is there anyone with such feats of martial arts that ends well?
Therefore, she wants to help him achieve careers like Cao Cao, Liu Yu, and Zhao Kuangyin, and turn his family into a country!

And she will also become the most honored queen in the world, the mother of the world, and rebuild a Zhen family.

As for the eldest sister, if she is capable, the Zhen family will not be censored, and brother-in-law Chu Wang is weak and not a good match.

At this moment, no one knows that the young girl's heart is burning with ambition, and no one will believe it even if she tells it.

But in fact, for a long time, there have been signs of it.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, gently stroked the girl's cheek, and said, "Sister Lan, if you value my power, there must be someone more powerful than me in the world."

When Zhen Lan heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, and the tears accumulated in her bright eyes kept flickering, and she asked, "Brother Heng, do you think I am a woman who is stalking?"

Jia Heng said: "I don't mean that, it's just that you want to devote yourself to serving me, then you can ask yourself what it is for, if it is to revive the momentum of the Zhen family, I can't do it, and Sister Lan thinks What caused the decline of the Zhen family's fortunes?"

Zhen Lan bit her lower lip, raised her eyes to look at the young man, and said, "It's because the clansmen have lost their modesty and prudence over the years, and acted too arrogantly, that's why this calamity happened. I... really like Big Brother Heng, even though Brother Heng is just a commoner, if I meet Brother Heng, I will accompany Brother Heng to make a difference."

She just got acquainted with Brother Heng a little late, and she learned a secret from Qing Wen, who had no intentions, along the way. It seemed that before Sister Qin married Brother Heng, the Qin family seemed to despise Brother Heng. …

Hearing this, Jia Heng gently lifted Zhen Lan's chin, looked at the stubborn and bright face, and said, "Sister Lan."

It's really like Zhen Qing, Wan Wan, if he rejects Zhen Lan, will the girl become Lu Zhi who was rejected by Yi Xiaochuan?Fight against him everywhere?

If the conjecture about Baochai's blackening at the beginning was just a joking assumption, and it would probably be forgotten in the world in the end, then Zhen Lan probably will.

Because when it comes to knowledge, Zhen Lan was born in the Zhen family, which is close to the royal family. Although Baochai is shrewd, her knowledge has not surpassed the limitations of her birth, otherwise she would not have seen Baoyu's unbearable condition in the original work and boarded the Jia family's thief ship. .

To put it bluntly, Baochai has some small cleverness, but great wisdom such as political wisdom... This is a common problem of royal daughters, and the back house is unparalleled, but political wisdom is much worse. This is the limitation caused by birth.

For example, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are even more short-sighted, and it is difficult to make long-term investments.

When it comes to execution, Zhen Lan throws herself directly into his arms, while Baochai just waits passively. Of course, it does not rule out that high-level hunters appear in the form of prey.

But Zhen Lan and Zhen Qing have the same temperament, dare to think and dare to do it!
Zhen Qing wanted to take advantage of him, so she dared to drug him and Zhen Xue. Although stealing a chicken could not be a big deal, but it was when she met him that she folded herself in.

Prescribing medicine to an important court official, is this something that ordinary women's brain circuits can do?In a word, the execution is overwhelming.

Execution is the only way to produce results.

This Zhen Lan needs to be well-trained, otherwise it may become an uneasy factor in the harem, and Zhen Qing, after having a child, from simple physical needs to emotional needs, and even...

He could guess what Zhen Qing was imagining next, using his power to support the puppet of the King of Chu, and then she came to the court to claim control...

Facing the aggressive scrutiny of the young man, Zhen Lan slowly closed her bright eyes, suddenly felt her lips soften, and then her heart trembled, she hugged Jia Heng's waist tightly, feeling the hot attack, originally The closed eyes opened slightly, and then quickly closed.

After a while, looking at the girl with slightly pink lips and blushing cheeks, Jia Heng murmured: "Sister Lan does this, does Xi'er know?"

Zhen Lan was still immersed in the turbulent waves just now, her heart was pounding, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, sister Xi'er has always listened to me."

My sister's things, from childhood to adulthood, as long as she wants, my sister will give up.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said: "Okay."

At this time, Qingwen from outside said with a bit of anger in her voice, "Master, grandma is calling you for lunch."

"Okay, let's have dinner together first." Jia Heng stopped Zhen Lan who was about to speak, and said softly.

At this moment, in the hall, Qin Keqing was already sitting with Daiyu Baochai, inviting several people to eat.

After lunch, Jia Heng went to Daming Palace to meet the saint in Beijing.

Daming Palace, Inner Study Room

It was in the afternoon, after lunch, Emperor Chongping sat behind the case in a bright yellow dragon robe, flipping through the memorials delivered by various provinces years ago, and asked, "Dai Quan, what time is it?"

"Your Majesty, it's the second quarter of the junior high school." Dai Quan said.

Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, then said: "Go and send someone to summon Ziyu into the palace."

Tomorrow is the court meeting, how to deal with the boiling voices of peace talks above the court hall is indeed a problem.

Dai Quan cupped his hands and turned to leave. Just as he arrived at the gate of the palace, an inner eunuch rushed over and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yongning has handed over a sign, begging to see His Majesty."

"Xuan." Emperor Chongping said.

Not long after, Jia Heng, dressed in a python suit, walked into the inner study from outside the hall under the guidance of the inner eunuch, and saluted Emperor Chongping behind the case.

Emperor Chongping looked at the young man with gentle eyes, and said, "Zi Yu, please give me a seat without courtesy."

Jia Heng thanked, sat down, met Emperor Chongping's gaze, and said: "My lord, regarding the meeting and war tomorrow, I think that Duoduo should be killed at the crime-retribution array, so as to boost morale."

Emperor Chongping nodded, and said: "Now the public opinion in the court is boiling, and today Ke Dao has published a lot of memorials, advocating peace talks, but I have made up my mind."

In fact, he has already made a decision in his heart, that is, to make a final decision on the matter of reconciliation, but this matter is of great importance, and no one can disclose it in advance.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said: "The minister has ordered people to count the captured Jurchen prisoners, so that tomorrow they will go to the Taimiao to offer the prisoners to the ancestral community."

Emperor Chongping asked: "Ziyu said last time that Jurchen might take action against Chahar Mongols next year. Was this news conclusive?"

Jia Hengdao: "I have gathered several sources of information, and I can be sure. I have recently been in charge of dealing with this matter. I have sent spies to Liaodong to collect information. In the spring of next year, I will go secretly to Taiyuan and Datong to rectify military affairs in order to deal with the situation." Enemy."
