The Red Mansions

Chapter 900 Jia Heng: Only this time, not the next time (ask for a monthly ticket!)
Grand View Garden, Daoxiang Village

In the winter night, the orange lights are bright and bright, because the interior is covered by screens, there are no people's shadows reflected on the window casements.

Li Wan picked up the wine cup, took another sip, and asked, "Brother Heng, brother Lan, you said earlier that it would be better to learn some martial arts?"

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said loudly: "Keep fit. In fact, sister-in-law, don't be too stressed. There is always a scholar in our family. Brother Lang, I also need him to help me in the future."

Hearing this, Li Wan felt relieved, and said with a light smile, "If he can grow up and become your helper, Zi Yu, I didn't let me support him for nothing."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, these years have been a bit difficult."

Just like that, the two of them talked until the time of Xu, the sky was pitch black and there were no stars, and Jia Heng still didn't see Mrs. Cao coming over.

Jia Heng looked at the young woman who was blushing due to drunkenness, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, it's getting late, I'll go back first."

Li Wan lifted up his blushing jade face, said with pink lips, "Zi Yu, then I'll see you off."

Jia Heng said: "Sister-in-law stay put, the night is snowing, the road is muddy..."

But at this time Li Wan had already got up, but he was drunk, and felt a little dizzy for a while, and his delicate body swayed to the side, as if he was about to fall to the ground.

Jia Heng quickly approached to support Li Ren's arm, and said with concern: "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

But at this time Li Wan staggered, said "Ouch", his feet seemed to be unsteady, and he fell on Jia Heng's shoulder all of a sudden. He frowned, and his eyes were a little dazed.

Jia Heng quickly regained his composure, stretched out his hands to support each other, and suddenly felt the rich fragrance of bluegrass wafting in, because it was mixed with the smell of wine, it became more and more sultry.

No wonder people often say that wine is the matchmaker of sex.

Jia Heng thought secretly.

Li Wan's Wen Ning and soft face was already hot as fire, his mouth was slightly soft, his originally gentle voice was trembling, with one hand resting on his forehead as smooth as jade, he breathed like blue and said: "Zi Yu, I... I'm so drunk, I'm a little dizzy right now."

Jia Heng said softly: "Then let's rest on the bed in the room first, Suyun and Biyue come over and help your grandma."

But after calling for a while, there was no response from the hall. It was clear that at some point, the maid waiting outside the hall had long since disappeared.

And separated by a flower wall covered with green eaves covered with white snow, in a square courtyard, the lights in the wing rooms are brightly lit, people's shadows are everywhere, the sandalwood in the animal head smoked cage is mixed with ice cream, and the blue smoke curls up. , exuding a rich fragrance.

Just this kind of environment is the wealth that the Cao family, Li Wen and Li Qi in the Li family in the south of the Yangtze River cannot experience, let alone the usual rich food and clothing.

It can be said that the entire Grand View Garden has indeed provided these girls with a superior living environment.

Mrs. Cao took Suyun's arm, smiled and said: "Don't go, you two, just rest in the mansion earlier."

Suyun's expression froze for a moment, then she said softly to Mrs Cao, "Aunt Cao, Master Heng seemed to be calling me and Biyue just now."

"It's so late, we're all asleep, who cares that he's calling." Seeing a gleam of interest in Cao's slender eyes, he smiled lightly and said in a low voice.

And Suyun also came to his senses, and exchanged a look with the shy Biyue, the two said in a low voice, "Then let's go to sleep first."

The two of them knew that grandma's activities in the dead of night, and sometimes secretly listened to it, as if listening to... Master Heng's name?
In the wing room, Jia Heng looked at Li Wan who had slightly closed eyes, and said, "Sister-in-law, the two of them have gone somewhere, maybe they fell asleep first."

He always felt that there was something unusual here.

At this moment, the young woman Huaxin who was being supported by the young man had half of her plump and soft body almost resting on the young man's body. After all, she seldom drank alcohol, and she was a little dizzy just now because she was in love for a while.

But the young woman Huaxin only felt a heart in her chest beating non-stop, and her elegant and handsome face was as red as Danxia, ​​bright for no reason.

The jasper pearl hairpin on the exquisite cloud bun was trembling unconsciously, her voice trembling slightly, she seemed to murmur, "Zi Yu, just help me to sit down."

Jia Heng said: "Sister-in-law, go to bed and rest first."

He was actually fine, he was not too much affected by the alcohol, and his mind was still clear at the moment, but looking at Li Wan's situation, it seemed that something was not going well.

While Jia Heng was talking, he helped Li Wan to the bed. The bed was decorated in a simple and elegant way, and the blue curtains were tied with red strings and gold hooks. I don't know where I'm going, my sister-in-law will lie here and rest, waiting to call the two of them."

In fact, he already wanted to leave a little bit, and if he stayed any longer, something might happen.

Li Wan leaned halfway on the bed, her beautiful eyes flashed under her beautiful eyebrows, she focused on the young man's appearance, twitched her eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Zi Yu, I'm sorry for your inconvenience."

Jia Heng picked up a teacup from the teapot and said, "My sister-in-law doesn't usually drink much, but today I really drank too much."

Li Wan was lying on the bed, under Liu Yeximei, with drunken eyes, looked at the young man in a trance, and said softly: "Zi Yu, today I really... drank a little too much."

Jia Heng handed over the teacup, and said in a warm voice, "Sister-in-law, take a sip of tea to suppress the alcohol, this tea is just right."

Li Wan nodded, feeling a warm current in his heart, looked at the thoughtful young man, and said softly, "Thank you, Ziyu."

As he said that, he reached out to catch it, and shook it, but it was a little unstable, and the tea cup fell to the ground with a "bang", hitting it on the skirt.

Jia Heng paused, and asked, "Is it not burning?"

As he spoke, he handed over a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it off."

Li Wan took the handkerchief and stared at the young man. For a moment, his nose felt sore, and his soft and beautiful eyes sparkled, and tears fell like broken pearls.

Jia Heng looked at the beautiful and beautiful face, frowned and asked, "Why is my sister-in-law crying so well?"

Well, it is even more difficult to say goodbye and leave now.

Those who didn't know thought he bullied Li Wan.

Li Wan wiped his tears with a handkerchief, looked at the young man with tears in his beautiful eyes, and said in a choked voice: "I'm fine, I'm just happy. Brother Lang has a family uncle like Brother Heng, and I really feel sorry for him in my heart." He's happy."

For so many years, no other man has ever cared about her so much, asking her every detail.

Why is her life so hard...

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, looked at the teary-eyed beauty, and said with relief: "Sister-in-law has brought Lan Geer, orphans and widows all these years. My wife is thinking about it."

Li Wan heard the words, but felt more and more wronged, sobbing softly, "Zi Yu..."

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said: "Sister-in-law, if you feel pain in your heart, you can just cry happily, there is no one else here."

However, Li Wan wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, and said softly, "Stop crying, it's not good...not good after all, in the dead of night."

If outsiders heard about it, they would think it was brother Heng who bullied her.

Thinking of this, the young woman Huaxin's heart trembled slightly, and she felt an unspeakable shame welling up in her heart uncontrollably.

Hearing this, Jia Heng's face became silent, and he said with relief: "I remember the first time I saw Mrs. Wan, her brows and eyes were gloomy and worried, hiding many things on her mind."

Li Wan seemed to be recalled by the boy's words, his tear-stained face slightly raised, his eyes were a little dazed, and he said softly: "At that time, I went to the wicker alley to look for Ziyu when I was a child, At that time, Ziyu had already seen his extraordinary bearing, but later he saw that he was indeed not a thing in the pool, and now he is young, he is even a first-class Marquis of Wu."

At that time, the young man's speech and behavior were quite strong, and now he is a well-known important minister in the court, serving as the emperor, with great power.

Jia Heng met the young woman's soft eyes, smiled lightly and said: "The fate of life is quite mysterious. In the future, when Lang Ge'er is in high school, he will be an official, and then I will ask my sister-in-law for orders."

Li Wan glanced at the young man, and said with anger and joy: "At that time, I will grow old and become an old woman. I don't know what else is interesting. It's better... now that I'm all old, I'm old." It's out of shape."

Originally, she wanted to say that she was far inferior to Keqing, but the young woman Huaxin seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to mention Qin Keqing at this time, so she temporarily changed her words to talk about herself.

Of course, Li Wan's words had a hint of coquettishness, but it could also be said that after drinking, the young woman Huaxin was not as cautious as before, and her words were less scruples.

Jia Heng raised her eyes to look at Li Wan who was smiling and whispering, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law is in her prime, so why talk about old age?"

Hearing this, Li Wan pursed her pink lips, and her beating heart couldn't help but be filled with joy, and she said in a delicate voice, "I'm not young anymore, I'm almost becoming an old woman." .”

These words are more and more like men and women teasing and coquettish, but compared to "Water Margin", there is still no pearl hairpin falling on the ground, pinching the nakedness of the instep.

Jia Heng's complexion paused, and he naturally noticed some signs. He raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, and saw that the night was getting darker and darker. I have to go back first."

In fact, he wasn't very sleepy, but if he stayed any longer, he felt that something might happen. Besides, he was a widow and lonely, and he was talking and joking after drinking. Li Wan was still a widow.

Li Wan said: "It's getting late, then I'll see Brother Heng off."

Jia Heng hastily declined: "No need, my sister-in-law has a good rest, I will find Suyun and Biyue later, let them fetch some hot water, my sister-in-law should talk to them well tomorrow, this master hasn't Sleeping, the two of them fell asleep first."

Li Wan's cheeks were slightly red, and he said softly, "Let me get you a lantern. The snow has just melted, and the vision outside is very blurry."

Perhaps it was because she was happy today, she just pretended to be drunk, so she didn't have much scruples in speaking.

"Sister-in-law is drunk, don't give it away." Jia Heng refused, and said softly.

"I'm feeling better now." Li Wan said, got up, and was about to see him off, but when he got up, he felt dizzy again, staggered again, and fell to the side.

"Hey." Jia Heng said with frowned eyebrows, and quickly took Li Wan's hand.

This time it was not as lucky as just now, Jia Heng was brought down on the bed by Li Wan at once, and the two of them faced each other and were within walking distance.

Li Wan's eyes were shining brightly at this moment, and he fixedly looked at the young man with bright eyebrows and sharp eyebrows. At this moment, his eyes met, his breath smelled, and the smell of alcohol hit each other's faces.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and was about to speak.

He still has some concentration.

Suddenly, Li Wan's moist lips pursed, her expression seemed to be in a trance, and her head moved a little closer, as if by accident.

Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, obviously his lips softened and his heart moved slightly.

And Li Wan finished it in a strange way with drunkenness, and then she woke up, she was too ashamed to control herself, what was she doing?She really lost her mind and went crazy, no, this is a dream, all of this is a dream.

Jia Heng frowned, with a puzzled expression on his face, he said in a low voice: "Sister Wan, what do you mean?"

Li Wan: "???"

Li Wan quickly closed his eyes, not responding at all, but the sound of breathing evenly, at this moment was extremely quiet.

She was drunk, it was just a dream, she was going to sleep, but she was already asleep.

Looking at the young woman who was "playing dead" by being drunk, Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and leaned closer, holding the two petals of pink.

It's all up to this point, if you don't do anything, it will be even more embarrassing afterwards.

Li Wan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he snorted softly in his nostrils. After a while, he felt the warm breath hit his face. He was about to say something when the man turned over and stood up. The breath hit the face, just about to speak, the shadow fell from the sky like twilight, and Tankou was attacked.

Then came the wanton and brutal plunder, until a large snow-white skin suddenly appeared in front of him, and the snowman changed.

Li Wan's beautiful and bright jade cheeks were as red as clouds, Qiong's nose subconsciously grunted, and she gently pushed and refused with her hands, but she was soon submerged in the turbulent waves.

Like rain after a long drought, two slender hands hugged Jia Heng's shoulders tightly.

Jia Heng was slightly taken aback by Li Wan's reaction, his eyes flickered, and he sighed inwardly.

Li Wan was really drunk, or in other words, before he was drunk, a certain emotion was magnified to the extreme.

In fact, Jia Heng never thought about how many nights when he was not in Shenjing, the silhouette of Li Wan's figure after he closed his eyes gradually became clear, not overnight.

Jia Heng thought about it, and said in a low voice, "Sister Wan..."

Li Wan seemed to be completely drunk, her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, and she murmured unconsciously: "This is all a dream, it's a dream, and after waking up from the dream, there is nothing."

It is clear that the young woman Huaxin fell into a feeling of guilt mixed with fear for her actions just now, and her mind fell into a state of bewilderment.

Jia Heng didn't pay attention to the dream, but leaned close to the young woman Huaxin's smooth neck, delicate and tender skin, trembling under her palm.

In Ningguo Mansion or a large family, it is not the head wife who feeds the child herself, but a nanny, such as Baoyu’s nanny, Li Nanny, who raised Baoyu. One thing drove Qianxue away.

Although there is a nanny in Jia's house, even so, Li Wan is still a bit out of the ordinary.

Jia Heng suddenly thought of the elm tree in Huifang Garden. When the spring is warm and the flowers bloom next year, the breeze will blow the shade of the tree.

Li Wan felt as if he had been struck by lightning at this moment, biting his pink lips with his white teeth, and his delicate and straight nose was already humming softly. It's really hard for you to drag Lan'er to grow up these years."

Li Wan was ashamed, but dared not respond, he just turned his head aside and let the skirt slip off.

Li Wan's delicate body trembled, her beautiful eyes regained a bit of clarity, and she said in a pleading tone: "Zi Yu..."

Before the second half of the words came out, they were already deeply blocked.

In an instant, Li Wanxiu frowned, and said in a trembling voice: "Zi Yu..."

He was startled when he opened his mouth, and it was clear that his voice was a little greasy and delicate, and he buried his head under the quilt on one side, his cheeks were flushed, and he dared not say a word.

Jia Heng frowned slightly, his eyes tightened, but he thought of Li Shouzhong in Jinling, who seemed to meet him in June, and secretly sighed.

Li Shouzhong is indeed a rigid person.

In fact, some later generations’ evaluations of the Dream of Red Mansions are not wrong. Feudal ethics are indeed harmful. Now he is also anti-ethics and oppression, right?
And that Cao family really didn't have a serious mind, Suyun and Biyue must have been called away by her on purpose.

……

……

Outside the window, the winter moon wind, biting like a knife, the wind is noisy, the owl kisses whizzing past the corridor eaves and the white snow on the eaves tiles, swirling, and the snow powder falls on the apricot yellow "Daoxiang Village" three big characters, the flagpole Make a rhythmic rustling sound.

There are more than a dozen red apricot trees planted in the southwest corner of the courtyard. Because the weather is cold in winter, the red apricot flowers that were originally flaming like clouds in the original work have not yet fully bloomed, but there is vitality in the trembling and swaying. It seems that in the spring when hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, there are already a few red apricot branches in spring.

In the wing room, Mrs. Cao blew out the lights, seeing that she didn't hear the door creaking in the courtyard, she couldn't stop laughing secretly.

And after a long time, Jia Heng looked at Lan Xinhui's beautiful woman, her temples were disheveled, her cheeks were flushed with rosy cheeks, and her body was as soft as a silkworm, and she sighed softly.

The drunken kiss to him earlier was almost the culprit. If he ignored it, then Li Wan would really be ashamed to face others.

Hearing the young man's sigh, Li Wan was at a loss and didn't know where he was going. His heart was shaken slightly, and he opened his beautiful eyes. Immediately, he said in a trembling voice: "... I am not a woman."

She was deceived by lard, and actually seduced Ziyu when she was drunk. If she rides a wooden donkey or soaks a pig cage in the future, it's better to come to her alone.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, gently stroking Li Wan's round shoulders, and said softly: "Actually, I don't blame you. All these years of being a widow, it is also meritorious to cultivate a seed of reading for the clan. Well, it's just this one time. Let’s not take this as an example.”

In the end, I also felt that what I said was all messed up, completely out of shape, and my face was a little weird.

Hmm, how come there is a feeling of "Li Xiaowan, this is the last time"?

Hearing this, Li Wan's jade face was stunned, and the soft and beautiful eyes under her beautiful eyebrows drooped quickly, her heart trembled, and she buried her head in the bed beside her, with complicated emotions.

What is meritorious service?Is this rewarding her?
In a trance, a thought seemed to flash in my mind, is it the last time?
Well, what is she thinking about, it should be that she has not woken up from the dream.

Yes, this dream has not woken up, it must be a dream within a dream.

Jia Heng leaned down, leaned into Li Wan's ear, and reminded: "Your aunt is plotting against you. She sent Suyun and Biyue away on purpose, but you don't have to worry, she won't have anything to do."

There will be no future troubles on Cao's side, and he doesn't need to settle it at all. This "Wang Po" dare not show her face, and even afterwards, she will probably pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Compared with Ximen officials who are only strong and powerful in the county, with his current status and power, even if Jiamu knew about it, he would pretend to be deaf and dumb.

When Li Er was crazy about Dai Ji, no one in the world mentioned this matter.

But even though Li Wan provoked this matter, he was still responsible.

Li Wan's snow-skinned and jade-like face was already as red as rosy clouds, and a cluster of panicked shadows hung down from her curled eyelashes. She closed her eyes and didn't respond to Jia Heng's words. Her heart lake just recalled the first time she went to Beijing on a boat for more than ten years, and the river was surging. The boat pitched back and forth.

She actually knew... Auntie wanted to see her make a fool of herself, and then watch her father make jokes.

But when Jia Heng saw that people should not respond, he spread the pancakes, changed sides, picked up the plump waist with one hand, looked at the swaying tassels between the cloud temples, and whispered in the ear of the young woman Huaxin: "Now This is the end of the matter, and nothing else will help."

Li Wan didn't respond to Jia Heng's words, but was flustered inexplicably, kept closing her beautiful eyes, biting her lower lip with her cherry teeth, and didn't speak, but she felt a little shame in her heart, which was obviously unheard of.

No, how is this different from animals?
Seeing this, Jia Heng didn't say anything else anymore, and looked at the pearl hairpin on the cloud bun with deep eyes, the halo of pearl light changed from time to time.

After a long time, until the time of Chou, the night was getting darker and everything was silent.

"It's getting late, we have to go." Jia Heng looked at Li Wan who was about to play dead to the end, stretched out his hand to pat the round and tender, and said softly.

Li Wan snorted, his voice was crying, as if he hadn't answered.

Jia Heng stared at the young woman Huaxin who had softened into a ball of mud, her brows and eyes were full of shame and joy, she had a snowball fight, and said helplessly: "I really have to go, this time...don't give it away."

Sending and sending, all sent to a quilt.

Li Wan: "..."

The young woman Huaxin was very ashamed and annoyed, she really didn't intend to seduce just now... and what does this helpless tone mean?
It's just that just thinking about it like this, I suddenly felt my mind move, and then I felt a little uncomfortable, and the gurgling momentum continued unabated.

Jia Heng took the robe from the side and put it on quickly, took the quilt and covered it for the young woman Huaxin, then quickly left Daoxiang Village and walked along the stone path towards Qichiyuan.

He definitely can't stay in Daoxiang Village.

But tomorrow, I may have to meet with Cao Shi and ask her what she wants to do?

He didn't mention Jia Heng's departure, but said that Li Wan opened his eyes at this moment, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Apart from the smell of sandalwood, there was also a flustered atmosphere in the room.

At this moment, Li Wan had already lost all sleepiness, and the drunkenness was also scattered outside along with the dripping sweat. He put the strands of hair from his temples on his beautiful, crimson and beautiful face with great rosy charm. On the white skin like jade, there are bright peach blossoms.

"Ugh……"

Li Wan sighed quietly, and could not help stroking his slightly swollen belly with his bare hands, and spat secretly.

Thinking of the lingering lingering and unprecedented fullness, my heart is already swaying, as if the soft words of the calm young man are still ringing in my ears, making people feel drunk.

Just listening to the howling of the north wind outside, I suddenly felt sour and sad in my heart, and tears seemed to flow down from the corners of my eyes.

Of course, it was definitely not tears of humiliation, but unspeakable regret and regret.

I really lost my mind and went crazy before, but it doesn't matter if I was crazy or crazy, only this time, it was just a dream.

The young woman in Huaxin closed her eyes slightly, her heart was empty, she pulled the thick quilt and fell into a deep sleep.
