The Red Mansions

Chapter 919 Qin Keqing: This...is this simply mocking her?
Grand View Garden, Hengwu Garden

Baochai took Daiyu's hand and sat on the kang couch, and said softly, "It should be here soon, in just two days."

She vaguely heard the news that Uncle Lin's visit to Beijing this time may serve as the servant of the household department, a senior official of the third rank, and an important minister in the court. Compared with Shao'er, the help her family can provide him is undoubtedly inferior on many.

Daiyu's beautiful face was full of disappointment, and she said softly, "Father has been in the southern province for so many years, and he came back to the capital all of a sudden, and I don't know if his bones are used to the climate here."

Baochai smiled and said, "It should be alright. Although it's a bit dry and cold here, it's still warm. It will be much better when the flowers bloom in the warm spring next year."

Daiyu sighed softly, and bowed her head in response.

Baochai said, "I don't know what happened to him."

Daiyu raised her head, looked at the girl with Lirui's pink face, and said: "Sister Bao is also thinking about Brother Heng?" "

"How could it be possible not to miss it?" Baochai said with a chuckle, took Daiyu's plain hand and said, "If my sister is bored in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, you can come and find me."

But when Daiyu answered, the servant girl attacked and said: "Miss, Ruizhu in the front yard said that the uncle delivered the letter and said to send it to each house."

When Daiyu heard this, she glanced at Baochai and said softly, "Just send my letter here."

Baochai smiled lightly, and said to Yinger, "Go and get the letter."

After a while, Xiren came back from the outside, holding two letters in his hand, passed them over and said: "Miss Bao, Miss Lin, letter."

Then hand it to two people according to the name on it.

Daiyu glanced at the letter in Baochai's hand, smiled in her starry eyes, and said, "Sister, don't take it apart and have a look."

"Huh?" Baochai saw a hint of surprise on her jade face, put the letter aside, and said with a slight smile, "There is no hurry to open it later, if my sister wants to open the letter, just open it and read."

As he spoke, he picked up the butter tea on the side, took a sip, and stared at the girl with moist apricot eyes.

Daiyu pursed her pink lips, smiled and said, "Then I'll take it apart and have a look."

For some reason, opening the letter in front of Sister Bao seemed to have a different feeling.

As he spoke, he opened the envelope and began to read the words on it. As he was absorbed in it, his heart couldn't help but bursts of joy and sweetness.

This made Baochai feel a little uncomfortable, especially when she saw that shy and timid face, she couldn't help but put down the teacup, picked up the envelope, hesitated for a moment, but opened it to read.

And for a while, I was also immersed in the words on it.

The language used in Jia Heng's letter is actually very simple, just asking about Baochai's current situation, caring about his diet, and also about the date of his return.

At this moment, Baochai read the letter contentedly, and put it back into the envelope, a faint blush appeared on her plump, white and greasy face, and when she raised her eyes, she met a pair of bright starry eyes with a smile on her face .

"Sister Bao, let me see yours." Daiyu pursed her pink lips and said softly.

She didn't know why, she knew that reading Sister Bao's letter would make her feel sour, but she still couldn't help but want to see what kind of sweet words he wrote to Sister Bao.

I don't know what she is thinking.

Baochai:"……"

What is this frown doing?exchange letter?

This is a separate letter for them, is it easy to read?It's a little too ridiculous.

I don't know why there is a little weirdness in my heart.

Baochai glanced at the letter in Daiyu's hand, feeling somewhat curious in her heart, and asked, "What did he write to Mao'er?"

She was also curious about how he managed to be obsessed with her body on the one hand, and at the same time make a private decision with her for life on the other hand.

Daiyu said softly: "I didn't write anything, just let me rest more and take care of my body."

Unlike the first teasing, this time the letter has a bit of a peaceful letter from home.

Baochai said hesitantly, "Sister, how about I take a look too?"

Then the two hit it off, and immediately read and read the letter.

But Zijuan and Ying'er were stunned watching from the sidelines, and for some reason, they couldn't laugh or cry.

Daiyu read Baochai's letter, feeling sour in her heart, and said quietly: "He is really caring for Sister Bao, and even told Sister Bao to eat more, so that she doesn't lose weight from starvation."

Although I haven't written the following words, don't be hungry and thin. What does it mean?
Daiyu suddenly remembered that when the man was shepherding the sheep, he said he wanted to eat more.

Under Baochai Cuiyu's beautiful eyebrows, there was some shyness in the watery almond eyes, and she said softly: "He also cares about my sister very much, and even asks her to take good care of her body."

The words on it are much more beautiful than those written for her, and it also said that when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom in the next year, I will go to the peach blossom forest on the other side of the Fengyao Bridge to bury flowers and recite poems.

Well, I told her about Di Cui Ting fluttering butterflies in a letter.

Some inexplicable.

The two looked at each other, feeling a little ashamed in their hearts.

As Baochai said, she took Daiyu's plain hand and joked with a smile: "Xiao'er, if you let him know that we changed the family letter to open it, I don't know how to punish you."

Daiyu said: "If you want to punish, you must punish elder sister Bao. I am young, so I am not as dignified and quiet as my elder sister."

"You, what a small mouth." Baochai said reproachfully, pinching Daiyu's cheek.

Daiyu also had a look of shame on her cheeks, and said softly: "My sister and I often talk together, and we spend more time together than him, he should have thought about it earlier."

After exchanging letters, both of them felt that a strange bond was established, and they didn't know what it felt like. It was probably a kind of shamelessness, as if they were a family.

Zijuan blushed a little, for some reason she suddenly remembered a scene where her own girl and Miss Bao were serving Uncle Heng's affairs together.

At that time, Uncle Xu Shiheng will change the girl and Miss Bao...

Thinking of this, the girl's heart couldn't help but light up, and she quickly dispelled the trivial thoughts in her heart.

Just when Chai and Dai were talking, the Qiushuang Zhai in the Grand View Garden was also full of laughter and laughter.

Sandalwood is curled up in the three-legged animal head smoked cage, ice cream and agarwood are mixed and ignited, and wisps of green smoke fill the room with a strong fragrance.

Xiangyun had a round apple face with rosy cheeks, and said softly, "Sister Lan, you really should try that pony. It was young last year, but now it's all grown up."

Zhen Lan smiled, and said softly: "I'm in the south, and I don't usually ride that one. When Big Brother Heng comes back, he will teach me and my sister. I don't know if I'm free or not."

Xiangyun's big bright eyes were bright and full of water, and he said softly: "Brother Heng may not be free, let me teach you."

Zhen Lan looked at the plump-cheeked girl with soft eyes, smiled lightly, and said softly: "Sister Yun is so small, it would be bad if she fell down."

Xiangyun pouted and said with a smile, "Sister Lan, I'm riding well."

She thought she wanted Brother Heng to teach her, so she said these things to her as if she didn't know.

With a smile on Tanchun's face, he said, "I haven't seen Sister Bao and Sister Lin these few days."

Baoqin said softly: "My cousin is in charge of the outside business these few days. It's cold these days, but sister Lin often plays chess in the room. Isn't sister Xi'er playing better with sister Lin?"

Zhen Xi said softly: "A few days ago I played chess, and these few days my sister Lin practiced calligraphy, so I didn't go to bother her."

Xiang Yun said softly: "The last time I saw Brother Ai, he looked at me with teary eyes."

Tanchun: "..."

Speechless tears flow first?
Bao Qin's face, which was as white and greasy as a pear pistil, paused slightly, and there was a strange look in her expression.

When she first came here, she saw that the second brother Bao seemed to have this temper.

Jinling, Princess Jinyang Mansion

The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu.

Chongping 15th Year, New Year's Eve

Every household was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the lights were brilliant. The bright red light reflected the entire night. In front of the majestic and magnificent Princess Mansion, two red lanterns had been hung up, dizzying circles of lights and shadows of different sizes.

On the attic, two figures clinging to each other were projected on the screen, whispering.

It turned out that after the New Year's Eve dinner, Jia Heng and Princess Jinyang sat on the mattress made by the Arhat bed, looking up at the night scene.

At this moment, Lianxue and other female officials prepared all kinds of fireworks, set them off in the courtyard, and rushed to the sky with a "crack, crackle", colorful and unspeakably gorgeous.

"Zi Yu." The eldest princess of Jinyang leaned her head on the boy's shoulder, looked at the gorgeous fireworks in the vast night sky, and murmured with a hint of bewilderment on her soft and unspeakable face.

In the past 30 years, she has longed for such a day many times, holding the hand of her lover, watching the starry night sky, but she has waited for a long time before such a person came.

Jia Heng held the beauty's slender catkin and said softly, "Li'er, do you still remember the first time we met?"

Princess Jinyang turned her beautiful and graceful face, looked at the boy with phoenix eyes full of water, and said angrily: "I remember, but I remember, even if I didn't see it at the time, you are not honest."

At that time, she was attracted by his unparalleled talent.

Jia Heng said softly: "If you are honest, you don't even want a child now."

Princess Jinyang pinched the plain hand in her palm, and said softly: "I said you are fat, and you are still panting."

Jia Heng stretched out his hand to caress the beautiful woman's hair, looking at the deep and pitch-black sky, his complexion was gloomy and inexplicable for a while.

Speaking of which, he has also been in this world for a year or two, and he has so many bonds without knowing it.

After a while, Princess Jinyang asked quietly, "When are you leaving?"

"The third year of junior high school." Jia Heng said softly, with a little reluctance in his heart.

"Aren't you going to meet the sisters of the Zhen family?" Liren asked in surprise.

Jia Heng: "..."

After thinking about it, he didn't hide anything, and said, "It should be the second day of junior high school."

The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "It's good to go and meet, but say goodbye. After all, the two of them are pregnant with your flesh and blood, so you can't be too cold."

Jia Heng sighed inwardly, but did not respond to these words.

He couldn't answer that. Although Jinyang was tolerant, he couldn't always mention another woman in front of Jinyang.

Princess Jinyang leaned her head on Jia Heng's shoulder, and said softly: "You can go back, the war in the north is the most important thing."

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said: "When you arrive in Beijing, go north after the Lantern Festival."

Princess Jinyang said: "Then be careful on the road."

Jia Heng responded softly and said, "It's getting late."

"Call Shang Yuanchun." Princess Jinyang said softly.

Jia Heng was speechless for a while, secretly thinking, this is an eye addiction, right?
The two were talking, unaware that time passed quickly, and when it was Xu time, the two returned to the wing room to rest.

……

……

The Jade Rabbit falls in the west, the Golden Crow rises in the east, and a new day comes again. The time has come to the first day of the first month of the 16th year of Chongping without knowing it.

Shenjing, Ningguo Prefecture
Although Jia Heng was not in the mansion, the bustling and noisy mansions of Ningrong and Rongfu did not decrease much. The laughter and laughter in the Grand View Garden were endless, immersed in the endless joy of the approaching New Year.

In the hall of the back house, Sister Feng was wearing a light yellow dress with brilliant color embroidery, her narrow and clear red phoenix eyes stared at Qin Keqing who was wearing her imperial make-up, she was not without envy, and asked, "Keqing, will you see me in the morning?" When it comes to the Queen Mother and Empress Dowager?"

Qin Keqing smiled and said: "I see it, but there are quite a lot of people, and I can't see their faces clearly."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "Why did I hear the old lady say that the Empress even held your hand specially and said a lot."

Just when Wu Gengtian went to the palace to face the saint, Empress Song held Qin Keqing's hand and said a lot.

Qin Keqing saw a smear of shame on her face, and said: "Well, she dragged me to ask some things about my husband, but didn't ask anything else."

In fact, she also met the Princess Xianning, said a few words, and the princess continued to talk, and came to play mahjong with her when the time came.

This... is this simply mocking her?
Sister Feng smiled and said: "Brother Heng is the celebrity in front of the Supreme in the palace, and the Empress will even look up to you a few times."

Qin Keqing smiled and said: "There are several other families holding hands and talking, nothing else."

As he said that, he changed his makeup and said to Baozhu beside him, "Baozhu, put this clothes away."

"Oh, grandma." Baozhu responded softly.

Sister Feng looked at the patterned and beautifully embroidered costumes, Danfeng's eyes were complicated and inexplicable, and she said with emotion: "This dress is something that many women can't even dream of."

Qin Keqing smiled lightly, and said: "The palace is all over the place at a glance, but I don't think it's too rare, these are still heavy to wear on the head."

"You are in the midst of blessings and you don't know your blessings." Sister Feng said with a light smile, pursed her pink lips, looked at the girl expectantly, and said, "How about a consultation with you, Qingqing?"

Qin Keqing looked surprised, and said softly: "What discussion?"

Sister Feng smiled, with a rare cautious voice, and said softly: "Can I try this dress? I won't be able to wear this dress in this life."

I don't know what it's like to wear this kind of heavy make-up ordered by Marquis Wu.

Qin Keqing's face was stunned when she heard the words. Immediately, she sized up the young woman Huaxin, her lustrous eyes lingered on the beautiful woman's beautiful face, as if she had read the flash of shame in her frustrated eyes, she smiled and said: "Then Sister-in-Law Feng can try it. We will try it privately in the room. No one will know about it after closing the door, and we won't be afraid of gossip."

Gaoming clothes are not dragon robes, so naturally there is no taboo, and it's still in my own house, so it's not a big problem.

It's just that sister-in-law Feng wears this...

When Sister Feng heard the words, she let go of her original heart, and she was very excited, and said softly: "Then I will try, Ping'er."

Speaking of which, at such a big age, she has not yet worn such gorgeous costumes.

Ping'er responded, came over from the side, said with a light smile, "Grandma."

"Help me put it on, be careful, don't damage the clothes." Sister Feng's heart was inexplicably joyful, holding the order clothes at the moment, she felt her hands trembling slightly.

Ping'er helped Sister Feng put on her clothes, with a slight smile on her face, she said in a low voice, "Grandma, can you put it on?"

Sister Feng is always busy, but she is not fat, as described in the original book, she is slender and coquettish.

Qin Keqing raised her eyes and watched Sister Feng change into her official clothes, and said with a smile: "The figure is actually about the same, and Sister-in-law Feng's clothes are more beautiful.

Maybe it's the charm of a married woman, and Sister Feng is even more gorgeous when she wears her imperial clothes.

Sister Feng put on the imperial make-up and wore a jade crown on top of her hair in a cloudy bun. Under the soft sunlight in winter, it shone brightly, making her face more graceful and radiant.

Qin Keqing smiled, and said: "Sister-in-law Feng looks good in this imperial uniform."

In fact, Qin Keqing's mentality is more like the feeling of standing on the top of a mountain and watching everyone.

It's a bit like Grandma Liu's mentality after Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

At this moment, Sister Feng's hands in her sleeves were trembling, and there were two strange rosy flushes on her face, under the slender eyebrows of willow leaves, her phoenix eyes were bright and full of autumn waves.

It seems that even the slender and straight under the skirt can't help but close together a little.

"Sister-in-law Feng, let's take a picture in front of the bronze mirror." Qin Keqing said softly with a smile on her face when she saw the rosy and charming beauty.

Sister Feng was a little dizzy and came to the bronze mirror, looked at the beauty in the mirror, and saw the gold, jade and emerald crown hanging down on both sides of the cheeks in the bronze mirror, and the pair of red phoenix eyes were even more beautiful. Like a pool of autumn water, Yingying fluctuates.

Is this what she looks like in a first-grade imperial uniform?It's really well-dressed and gorgeous.

It's like a dream.

It's a pity that in her life... she will never be able to wear such a commanding uniform.

Sister Feng's heart was filled with joy, but in an instant, there was an unspeakable sadness. Now she is just a widow, and there is no widow to rely on.

Thinking of this, I felt depressed and disheartened, and said to Ping'er, "Ping'er just wait for me to take it off."

Qin Keqing looked at the lingering sadness in the beauty's eyebrows, how could she not guess the reason, and said softly, "Sister-in-law Feng, what's the matter? Why don't you wear it for a while?"

Sister Feng's heart was agitated, she smiled lightly, with a hint of a forced smile, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just happy, don't spoil it for you."

Qin Keqing said: "It can't be broken, even if it is broken, just make another set."

Sister Feng: "..."

Listen to what is this called?

Qin Keqing took Sister Feng's bare hand, and said: "Sister Feng, the future will be long, and we should look forward to everything."

Sister Feng nodded, said "yes", smiled at Ping'er and said, "Ping'er, change it for me, don't let the clothes get dirty."

She will never be able to wear such a commanding make-up in her life.

With complicated emotions, Sister Feng took off the gorgeous and unprovoked orders on her body, with tears in her eyes, she said with a smile: "King, you are very lucky."

Now that she was reflecting on herself, maybe she was too vicious in the past, and that's why she got bad retribution?Husband was exiled because of a crime, and he has no heirs to accompany him?

With concern in her eyes, Qin Keqing said softly: "Sister-in-law Feng, we should think more leniently in everything."

She didn't know how to comfort Sister-in-law Feng, it was nothing but being a widow, so she couldn't persuade Sister-in-law Feng to remarry?

The beauty comforted Sister Feng, smiled, and invited: "Sister-in-law Feng, why don't you stay here tonight."

"Aren't you going to leave your mother's house tomorrow?" Sister Feng nodded and asked with concern.

Qin Keqing said softly: "When I return to Ning on the second day of junior high school tomorrow, I may go home and stay for two days."

Sister Feng nodded, responded softly, and sighed deeply in her heart. Even if she wanted to go back to her mother's house, she would be far away in Jinling.

While the two were talking, a servant girl entered the hall and said, "Grandma, there's news from the West Mansion that Mr. Lin has come from Nan Province and said he's calling Miss Lin to come over."

After traveling for nearly a month, Lin Ruhai finally came to Shenjing, because today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the emperor in the palace is entertaining the vassal king who came to congratulate him, so he has no time to meet foreign courtiers.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai did not go to face the saint, but went to Ningguo Mansion after the post officer packed up.

Qin Keqing said: "Sister Feng is waiting here, I'll go talk to Sister Lin."

I don't know what Uncle Lin will think after knowing that her husband and Sister Lin have a private life.

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu is sitting behind a mahogany desk, holding a brush in her hand, and there is a bit of tranquility on her beautiful and jade face.

As the pen moves forward, the elegant and clean lowercase script appears on the rice paper, and the slender fingers are white and beautiful under the sunlight.

"Miss." Zijuan came close, with a complicated expression and said: "Grandma Heng is here."

In fact, Qin Keqing didn't come here very often, Baochai, Daiyu, and Xiangyun all went to the hall to look for Keqing.

In fact, this was Qin Keqing's first visit to the Xiaoxiang Hall to look at Daiyu after the completion of the Grand View Garden.

Daiyu put down the brush, she was a bit surprised when she saw her beautiful face, for some reason, her heart felt flustered, she put down the brush, and said: "Zicuckoo, follow me to welcome you."

While talking, I saw that beautiful woman in light yellow dress and blue cloak coming slowly, Fu Rongyu smiled sweetly on her face and called out kindly: "Sister Lin."

Daiyu called softly: "Sister Qin, you are here."

"The old lady sent someone to say that Uncle Lin has entered the capital, and my sister will meet you at Rongqing Hall later." Qin Keqing smiled and looked at the girl with willow eyebrows and starry eyes, and said softly.

Daiyu said "Yeah" when she heard the words, "Daddy is already here? Then I'll wait and see."

Qin Keqing took the girl Su's hand, and asked with a smile on her beautiful and charming eyes, "Sister, did you receive the letter from yesterday?"

Daiyu said softly: "Got it, Brother Heng said that he should return to Beijing soon."
