The Red Mansions

Chapter 867 Qin Keqing: She... can only be wronged
Shenjing, Ningguo Prefecture
Red lanterns are hung under the eaves of the corridor, and circles of red lamps and shadows are big and small on the smooth surface of the vermilion lacquer beams and columns. Looking at it on a winter night, I feel extra warm.

After Aunt Xue left, only Jia Heng and Baochai were left in the study for a while, the tea soup was steaming in the teacup, and no one spoke for a while.

In the silence, the watery almond eyes under the curved eyelashes already showed fear, Baochai broke the silence and said: "Brother Heng, I really had no choice but to reveal this matter to Mom."

Jia Heng said softly: "It's nothing, I should have told my aunt. I wanted to spend some time in these two days to talk about it, so that my aunt would not worry about sister Xue's life."

In fact, Baochai may not have done it on purpose, why, because more and more people came into the back house, from Zhenxi to Zhenlan.

You must know that at the beginning of the year, he had no one around him except Keqing, and it was in that state that he and Baochai gradually developed feelings for each other. As a result, this summer, first with Princess Xianning, and then with Daiyu.

Especially the appearance of Daiyu must have sounded the alarm for Baochai, and after sneaking around, he found that there was no place beside him.

As for Aunt Xue, who is full of fantasies, just now in front of Baochai, he always wants to give Baochai some affection. The girl has been with him for almost a year, and she let him open the lock regardless of her daughter's family. How can he give Baochai face to face? His own mother shook her face.

How sad should Baochai be?
Jia Heng walked around the strip table in front of him, took Baochai's soft and delicate hand, and hugged the girl with drooping eyebrows and anxious thoughts, her plump and soft body was accompanied by a light and elegant cold fragrance pill The breath is full of sleeves and tangy.

The young and soft voice sounded, and said: "Sister Xue, I should have gone to find my aunt to talk about the two of us, but let my sister bear such a great pressure alone."

He took pity on Baochai, and the reason why the girl was willing to have such a long underground love affair was also the main reason.

Baochai's moist apricot eyes flickered under her curved eyebrows, she raised her plump face, her nose turned sour, and said, "Brother Heng, no matter five years or ten years, I am willing to wait for Brother Heng."

She felt that she had almost nothing to hide in his eyes, as if even the slightest secret plan in the deepest part of her heart had been revealed.

Jia Heng held the soft and warm chubby hand, looked at Baochai, met the tearful almond eyes, and said, "I won't let my sister wait too long."

Take some time recently to be a real couple with Baochai, otherwise Aunt Xue won't make any fools, especially with Mrs. Wang.

One royal daughter is stupid, but two royal daughters together are stupid and bad.

Seeing that Baochai was about to say something, he saw the young man leaning closer to his cheek, and the warm breath hit his face like the warm wind in June, and his pear-blossoming and snowy cheeks suddenly turned into peach blossoms.

Baochai closed her apricot eyes slightly, only to feel some overflowing breath circling through her nostrils, the temperature of her cheeks gradually rose, and foreign matter invaded her mouth, and quickly pressed the young man's hand lightly.

After a long time, the girl breathed lightly, her apricot eyes sparkled, and shame and joy overflowed between her brows and eyes, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng said: "Sister Xue, wait for the garden to be repaired in the next few days, you can live in it, and I can easily find you."

Baochai's apricot eyes moistened slightly, she gave a "hmm" and said, "I listened to Brother Heng."

Jia Heng said: "Due to the importance of the war against captives in the past two years, there will be many opportunities to make meritorious service in the future."

Even if he wins another brilliant victory, at most he will be named a duke, and if he wins consecutively in the future, don't even think about being named the county king in the short term, even the emperor will want to suppress him at that time.

At that time, Xianning and Chanyue were bestowed with marriages, and the reasons for Baochai's bestowed marriages were successively used to make scholars all over the world pinch their noses to recognize them, and at the same time they lost their virtue among scholars.

Baochai quickly explained: "Brother Heng, I'm not in a hurry."

Jia Heng said: "Even talking about this matter with Sister Xue has made Sister Xue aware of it. Although it is a great achievement this time, the timing is not ripe."

"Brother Heng, if you talk about this again, it's really hard for me to deal with it." Baochai said in a low voice with flustered brows and apricot eyes.

Jia Heng gently stroked the girl's plump cheeks, and said, "I know my sister's heart."

Saying that, hugging her in her arms, she unbuttoned the honey-colored jacket and picked up the golden lock.

Baochai's cheeks were as red as clouds, and her brows and eyes were full of embarrassment and joy.

Jia Heng said: "My younger sister and the third younger sister are in charge of the account books in the shop together. When the time comes, I will match my younger sister with a few nuns so that my younger sister can help her. The main reason for bringing the third younger sister is to worry about people gossiping."

Baochai said softly: "Well, in fact, the third sister is fine, she has a capable temperament."

Brother Heng doesn't talk about frowns.

Jia Heng smiled, and said in a low voice: "By the way, after moving into the garden, all the girls and maids are there, and the younger sister and the third younger sister also help manage the personnel affairs in the garden. I know that my younger sister is a capable person." Yes, but it’s a pity that I like to hide clumsiness.”

As he spoke, he started a snowball fight and fiddled with the lock cylinder.

"No way." Baochai was teased by the young man, her delicate body trembled slightly, her plump and jade cheeks were as red as rouge, her voice was trembling already.

Brother Heng asked her to take care of the garden, so he knew what she was capable of.

Jia Heng and Baochai got bored for a while, Qingwen's urging voice sounded outside: "Young master, grandma asks you to have dinner."

Jia Heng said: "Okay, let's go there."

At this moment, the brightly lit hall is full of Yingying and Yanyan, the interior is warm and pleasant, and the colorful jewelry shines together, dazzling the eyes.

Except for Keqing, Wenqi, Yuntan, Lanxi and Sanyou were all present, but Aunt Xue was not there, and she had obviously gone back to Lixiangyuan.

Qin Keqing looked at the two with a smile in her beautiful eyes, and said softly, "Husband, you and sister Xue are the only ones missing."

As time passed, Li Ren's original panic about the unstable status of the first wife became more and more far away, and now she is short of a child, whether it is sister Xue's background in the imperial merchant family, or sister Lin's young age, it is a problem .

Those princesses and princesses of the Chen family are the most threatening.

Recently, I heard in the history books that Wang Xizhi's son Wang Xianzhi was ordered to divorce his wife. If the palace really did such a thing, or put pressure on his father, for the sake of her husband, she... can only be wronged.

Jia Heng sat down, Baochai next to her was calm, with a little shyness on her snowy and jade face, she sat beside Baoqin.

Daiyu looked at the girl, and then at Jia Heng, the handkerchief in her hand clenched a little.

It is impossible for a girl of this age not to be jealous at all.

Looking forward to it, Baoqin's snow-white face said, "Brother Heng, Sister-in-law Feng said that the garden has been repaired, when shall we go in and visit it?"

Jia Heng said: "After a few days, let Sister-in-law Feng make arrangements inside. If you want to go in and play, let Sister-in-law Feng take you in for a walk the day after tomorrow, and then move in after a few days."

In fact, the purchase of furniture and objects has already begun in the past few days. Before the spring of next year, all the Yingying and Yanyan will be able to move in this winter.

The Ningguo Mansion is almost becoming a kingdom of daughters, and it's almost too much to live in.

Xiangyun smiled and said: "I heard that there are many mountain and stone pavilions inside, but I don't know how it compares to Aunt Jinyang's garden in Luoyang and Jinling?"

When mentioning the eldest princess of Jinyang, Qin Keqing paused slightly when she was holding the teacup, her beautiful eyes were clear and rippling, Aunt Jinyang?
Jia Heng said softly: "You will not be able to see this until you enter."

As he spoke, he handed a pair of bamboo chopsticks to Qin Keqing and said, "Keqing, it's time to eat."

Qin Keqing took the chopsticks and rolled her eyes at the young man, her husband changed the subject again.

After dinner, everyone drank tea and talked.

Qin Keqing said: "Husband, sister-in-law Feng said that tomorrow the stage troupe will be invited to Tianxiang Building in Huifang Garden, and the sisters will be more lively."

Jia Heng said: "You and Sister-in-law Feng can handle it together."

Tan Chun said: "Brother Heng, I'm going to study in the study first."

Tanchun had a temporary residence in the small courtyard of the study in the East Wing of Ning Mansion because he helped Jia Heng deal with official documents.

Jia Heng said: "Third sister will go first, and I will also go to the study to read some books later."

And Xiangyun returned to Rongguo Mansion with Baoqin. Jia's mother liked two fat girls with plump muscles and bones and cute temperament. Xiangyun lived in her courtyard, while Baoqin went with Baochai. Rikain.

Daiyu glanced at the straight-clothed young man in blue, came up to Qin Keqing, and said softly, "Sister Qin, I'm going back first."

Qin Keqing said softly: "It will get colder and colder later, and the dripping water will turn into ice. Sister Lin should go back and rest earlier."

At this time, Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi also joined hands and got up to leave one after another.

The Cao family also took their two daughters, Li Wen and Li Qi, back to the West Mansion, where they went to live in the courtyard where Li Wan lived.

There is a saying that winter is a bit cold, even though the hall of the back house of Ningguo Mansion is very warm, it is no longer suitable to touch mahjong all the time, besides, since Baoyu threw jade in the morning and Daiyu moved, everyone was a little tired.

After Xiang Yun, Tan Chun, Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi left, Qin Keqing, You Shi, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You were left in the hall for a while.

Jia Heng said: "Tomorrow I have to participate in the morning court, I will go back to the study to rest, but you guys can play cards."

Qin Keqing gave Jia Heng a white look, and said, "Husband, also go to see Sister Lin, she has just been here for a day, so she may not be familiar with everything."

Jia Heng was startled, and said softly: "Well, I'll go and have a look."

In fact, he said it on purpose, and he couldn't tell Keqing, I'm going to see sister Lin.

With that said, he left the hall and went to Daiyu's room.

After Jia Heng left, Qin Keqing looked at Third Sister You who was watching Jia Heng leave, and said softly: "Sister San, let's play cards first, and wait for two days to talk about it, the uncle just came back, and there are many things to know. "

The third sister has been watching eagerly for a long time, and there should be a result. She also needs to cultivate a helper.

The two maids, Baozhu and Ruizhu, are not very good looking, and there are only three elder sisters and second elder sisters, with flowers for their intestines and snow for their skin, they are worthy of a battle.

Third Sister You smiled lightly, and said, "It's nothing, I'm not in a hurry."

Youshi said: "The donations from village heads in various places in Beijing have been distributed, should you inform the few houses in Beijing to lead them?"

Qin Keqing said: "According to the usual practice in previous years, send it to the children of Shenjing. The family's life is not good, so donate some rice and noodles. I will talk to the uncle later, and let the uncle come forward to make it easier."

In the original work of Dream of Red Mansions, Wu Jinxiao made an offering to Jia's mansion, and Jia Zhen called the children of the clan to come and receive the things, which is the welfare of the clan.

In ancient clan society, not only had the corresponding power, but also had to benefit the children of the clan.

You Shi laughed and said: "I see that no one has been in distress this year. Not to mention that the children in those houses have all obtained military positions in the army, but those who are elderly have recently planted a lot of flowers and trees in the garden. , and the staff of the comprador in the Fuzhong were all entrusted to them."

Qin Keqing said softly: "It's more or less the meaning. In addition, the temple sacrifice silver from the Ministry of Rites should also be brought over. The ancestors are used to pay homage to the ancestors. There are a lot of things from years ago."

Yushi responded lightly.

Qin Keqing said: "Okay, let's touch two mahjong, and let's go back and rest."

In such a cold day, my man doesn't hug her, and there is nothing else to do except touch mahjong.

Not to mention that the mahjong quartet of Ningguo Mansion played mahjong again, but said that Jia Heng went to the courtyard where Daiyu lived.

The wing where Daiyu lives——

The dancing orange light above the candlestick is quiet and soft, reflecting a petite and pretty figure on the inner curtain of the bed.

Not far away, Xiren and Xueyan were in front of the bookshelves, arranging the furnishings according to Daiyu's past usage habits.

Zijuan came to the bed with a basin of hot water, put down the copper basin, and stared at the girl holding the books in the book.She said softly: "Girl, the bed is ready, girl, please sit down and wash your feet first."

Daiyu put down the book, her starry eyes were not as bright as before, she seemed to say with emotion: "Sister Zijuan, there are a lot of things just coming back, it's better not to come back."

Hearing this, Zijuan knew that her daughter had something on her mind, so she knelt down to help Daiyu put on her shoes and socks, and said softly, "Young lady is indeed not as comfortable here as she was in Jinling, but Shenjing is your future home, sir. Didn't you say that the master will come to Beijing soon?"

When Daiyu returned from Jinling, she immediately fell into the turmoil of Baoyu throwing jade, and when she arrived at Ningguo Mansion, she was not as good as when she was in Ningguo Mansion in Jinling, she had the illusion of being "the wife in charge".

Daiyu's eyes were lost in thought, and she was silent for a while.

Zijuan said softly: "Miss, didn't the uncle say that after the garden is repaired, the girl can move in. Grandma Erheng said that she will also buy things in the garden."

Daiyu sighed quietly, and said, "Brother Heng didn't even bother to talk to me today."

Zijuan smiled and said: "Didn't the uncle go to face saint in the afternoon? He will come back in the evening, why did the girl forget?"

Secretly thought, is it because of this that the girl has gloomy eyebrows?Also, if he was in Jinling, the uncle would have come to talk to the girl as soon as possible, but in the morning he gave the girl to Grandma Heng to comfort her.

Daiyu's starry eyes flashed with thought, and she said, "Zijuan, what do you think my aunt is doing here looking for Big Brother Heng?"

Zijuan said: "Isn't it about the young master of the Xue family? It's almost the Chinese New Year, and it's time to come back and enjoy the Chinese New Year."

Daiyu said softly: "It doesn't look like it to me. Auntie is full of worries, and more than half of her eyes are on Sister Bao."

After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "Could it be that you have talked about marriage with Big Brother Heng?"

Zicuckoo: "..."

After thinking for a while, he said: "Even if you say it, it's normal, Miss Bao is not young anymore, she is two years older than Miss."

Daiyu let out a "hmm", a little absent-minded.

For some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable looking at Sister Qin, who was gorgeous and smiling, today.

After Brother Heng arrived in Beijing, he would spend more time with Sister Qin. He no longer talked to himself every day like he did in Jinling, and went back to the time when he was in Shenjing.

In fact, compared to Jia Heng’s powerful presence in China, Yu Daiyu’s companionship is the longest confession of love, even if this kind of companionship is even low-quality, carried out in the midst of crying and fussing, but also in a lonely island It is full of fragrance.

At this moment, Mammy's voice sounded from outside, saying: "Master Heng, you are here."

When Daiyu heard this, she was overjoyed and her starry eyes sparkled a little.

Zijuan smiled, and said softly: "Girl, just talking, people will come."

In fact, this is only the second day of returning to Beijing, except yesterday when everyone came back, Daiyu went to the West Mansion to see the old lady, today is only the second day.

And Jia Heng walked around a lady's glass screen, entered the wing room with a beaded curtain, looked at the girl, and called: "Sister Lin."

"Brother Heng." Dai Yu's eyebrows were filled with joy.

Looking at the petite girl, Jia Heng smiled lightly and said, "Sister Lin, washing your feet."

While speaking, she came close enough to sit on the bed next to Daiyu, looking at the cute and small tender white jade feet under the swaying lights in the water basin.

I don't know if it will be an ice cream after wearing white silk?
"Clatter..." The sound of the water made a sound, and she was uncomfortable being stared at by the scorching eyes of the young man. Dai Yuyu's cheeks were blushing, her eyebrows and eyes were obviously a little embarrassed, and her toes were disturbing the water in the basin.

Zijuan wiped the footwashing water on her cheeks with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Girl, don't move around."

Jia Heng embraced Daiyu's shaved shoulders, and said in a gentle voice: "My sister was wronged today, what happened this morning will never happen again."

Daiyu tremblingly said: "Brother Heng, I'm fine."

Sister Zijuan didn't leave yet, but Brother Heng just... just put his arms around her.

Jia Heng said: "In the future, I will live in the mansion with peace of mind. Let's talk after we get to the garden. I just returned to Beijing recently, and I have a lot of things at hand."

At this time, Zijuan washed Daiyu's feet, took a towel, and said, "Miss, wipe it off."

Jia Heng smiled lightly and said, "Give it to me Zijuan, I'll wipe it for Sister Lin, you go and pour the water."

With Zicuckoo's consent, she took the towel in one hand and Daiyu's calf in the other. The newly washed jade feet were slightly red and steaming, and the water droplets rolled on the ankles and insteps.

Well, even though he has seen and even stroked most of Daiyu's body, he has never looked carefully at the girl's beautiful feet.

Under Jia Heng's gaze, Daiyu was really shy, even her husband is rarely like this, the girl's delicate body softened half, her nostrils snorted, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, I'll do it myself .”

She didn't know why, but she always felt that those eyes were a little too hot, as if they were hiding some strange hobby.

Jia Heng said softly: "Nothing."

He took a towel and dried Daiyu's feet, gently took Daiyu's legs, and put them under the quilt.

Looking at the young man with gentle movements, Dai Yuyu's cheeks were slightly flushed, but sweetness surged in her heart, and she said softly: "Brother Heng."

Brother Heng feels that sometimes he treats her like a child.

Jia Heng put his arms around Daiyu's shaved shoulders, facing that beautiful and charming face, under the light of the lamp, his eyes seemed to think that the crying in the morning was somewhat resentful, Jia Heng's heart inevitably moved.

Seeing the boy's cheek approaching gradually, Daiyu closed her star eyes slightly, and immediately, she felt her lips soften, and the extremely familiar breath flooded in, drowning her mind in an instant.

Suddenly, Jia Heng looked at Daiyu whose snowy face was blushing and glowing all the way to her earlobe, and thought to herself, Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass and Baochai really have completely different feelings.

After such a long time, Daiyu must have improved, not to mention Xianning's fiery enthusiasm, but she also responded shyly.

Jia Heng put his arms around Daiyu's shaved shoulders and said, "Sister, it's a little cold, let's sit under the covers and talk."

On the boat, they occasionally find time to be intimate. Compared with Baochai, Daiyu is undoubtedly clingy, but Daiyu is just the most coaxing of the two, full of love and sweet talk.

Jia Heng removed his shoes, lifted the quilt, and sat on the bed with Daiyu to talk.

Daiyu nestled her head into Jia Heng's arms, and she couldn't help feeling a sense of peace in her heart.

Jia Heng said in a low voice: "Sister Lin, don't be too sad about what happened in the morning, Baoyu is going to kneel in the ancestral hall now, and after the beginning of spring, she will go to the school to study, naturally there will be less communication, and there will be no more such things. "

Daiyu turned her soft eyes to the young man, and said, "Brother Heng, I'm not sad, I just thought that I didn't meet Brother Heng earlier in the past."

It was not the first time that the jade fell, but every time he was panicked and helpless, but today was different because of him.

Jia Heng said softly: "You and I meet, neither sooner nor later, there is a definite date in the dark."

Daiyu's starry eyes twinkled when she heard the words, and hearing the beating of the young man's heart, she said, "Brother Heng, it is indeed a certainty."

In fact, she had thought that if Brother Heng had met her earlier, when she was a child in that wicker alley... Presumably they would have been a couple for the rest of their lives.

In fact, the girl didn't know that Meng Baochai had also done this kind of dream, but it wasn't a lifetime of a couple.

Jia Heng gently caressed Daiyu's shaved shoulders, and after a period of time, Daiyu's body was not as delicate as before, and her body was a little unnoticeably plump.

Daiyu is not only good looking, but her body is more in line with Bai Youshou's aesthetics.

Jia Heng leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered, "Sister, let me have a look at the sheep talisman."

There has been no shepherd for some time.

When Daiyu heard this, Qingli's cheeks were hot as fire, Qiongbi snorted, and said shyly, "Brother Heng."

Big brother Heng is also true, every time he speaks so bluntly and fiercely, but she just can't resist.

"Brother Heng, are you going to the court meeting tomorrow?" Daiyu's voice was slender and trembling, and she gently grabbed Jia Heng's hand that was pinching the little Yang Qiong's nose.

Jia Heng said softly: "Well, I have to get up early tomorrow, it's quite cold."

The script of Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been spread in Beijing recently, and Xu Kai's sacrificial scriptures have also been written before he arrives in Shenjing and brought with him.

Seeing concern in Daiyu's starry eyes, she said softly: "When I was on the boat, I knitted a sweat scarf for Brother Heng, and Brother Heng tied it on his body, so it will be warmer."

Jia Heng said softly: "Then let Zijuan take it with me when I leave."

Daiyu snorted softly, staring shyly at the boy who had already bent down.

Brother Heng does this every time, so why does her body make him so fond of her?Obsessed like this?snort……

Just as the girl was thinking about it, she felt a shivering sensation in her skin, and she could hardly hold herself back.
