The Red Mansions

Chapter 923 Sister Feng: Still in a dream?I bother!

But Jia Heng came to the inner study, sat behind the desk to read a book, and then ordered the maid to prepare hot water, planning to take a bath.

Whether it's Sister Feng or Li Wan, it's actually just a small episode, nothing more than a messy thing about men and women, each takes what he needs, and there's nothing embarrassing about it.

But he really didn't think that Sister Feng...even ordered the uniform.

Forget it, the main energy is still on the upcoming affairs with the captives.

While thinking about it, a delicate voice came from outside the corridor eaves, saying: "Young master, when did you come back?"

Qingwen looked at the young man in the python suit who was busy in the world, and she saw a little joy on her pretty face, and said, "Master, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Jia Heng smiled, and said softly, "I came back last night, and I'll eat after I take a shower."

Qingwen poured a cup of tea and said, "My lord, why haven't you come over for the Chinese New Year?"

"It's okay to catch up with the Lantern Festival this time." Jia Heng said softly, and said with a smile: "I'll go take a shower and change clothes later, you go and help me prepare the clothes."

"En." Qingwen responded softly.

Jia Heng picked up a book on the square desk and began to flip through it. After a while, he heard a familiar sound of footsteps, with a unique rhythm, and the steps were windy, as if he could sense some irritation of the person coming.

"Xiaoxiao, you're here." Jia Heng put down the book in his hand, looked up at the slender girl, and asked, "What are you holding here?"

Chen Xiao glanced at the young man coldly, and said, "Let Jinyi Mansion send the news about Beibian'er early in the morning, and collect the news about Beijing and Beibian'er for a month."

Jia Heng took the book in Chen Xiao's hand, flipped through the book, raised his eyes, looked at the girl with frosty face, and asked in surprise, "Why is the nose not a nose, and the eyebrows are not eyebrows."

Chen Xiao said coldly: "You know it yourself."

The two sisters-in-law got all on their own bed?It really has to live with the eldest daughter of Jia's family and the younger daughter-in-law.

Jia Heng: "..."

Xiaoxiao knows again?How did she know?
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, put down the book, and said: "Chahar Mongolia needs me to go there in person, you can come with me when the time comes."

"Jurchen may have to do something recently. During the Chinese New Year, people from Naiman and Keshigten went to Shengjing to meet Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to Qing, and changed the Yuan to Chongde." Chen Xiao said with cold eyes.

Jia Heng said: "I know about this matter. I received news on the way that Huang Taiji will definitely make big moves after changing his Yuan this time."

Still like a parallel time and space, Donglu changed the name of the country to Qing, and there are some signs of changes in the situation in Mongolia, which seems to be on the verge of an outbreak.

Chen Xiaodao: "Scholar Li returned to Beijing the day before yesterday. These days, Beijing has been talking about using it as the chief assistant, but the Zhejiang Party is strangely calm, and I don't know what's going on."

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, and vaguely guessed some of the emperor's power tricks. This should be the last test of the Zhe Party, and said in a deep voice: "After breakfast, I will go to the palace to meet the saint and prepare the handicrafts of the court. Some, head to the north after the Lantern Festival.”

Huang Taiji may not have to wait until March in Yangchun, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, before launching the battle to annex Chahar Mongolia. This process may be advanced.

Chen Xiao asked, "How was your trip to the south this time? Did it go well?"

Jia Heng said: "It's nothing, there is no surprise."

Originally, the purpose of going south to Jinling was to see the children, and to help Jiangnan divide the provinces so that Li Shouzhong could recover, and there was no life-and-death struggle.

"By the way, I have something to ask you." Jia Heng said, pulling the girl's plain hand.

Chen Ling broke away lightly, and said, "Speak."

Jia Heng didn't take it seriously either, and said, "Have you met Commander Shang who investigated the case of King Zhao's remnants?"

"I've seen it." Chen Xiao said softly.

Jia Heng asked worriedly: "He didn't find out anything, did he?"

"He recognizes me, nothing else. My father was not a rebellious party back then, but he had a certain merit." Chen Xiao said in a low voice.

Jia Heng nodded, looked at the girl, smiled lightly, and said, "That's good."

After a while, Qingwen called Jia Heng, the hot water was ready, and Jia Heng went to the wing to take a bath.

After taking a bath and having some simple breakfast, he was about to change into a new python suit and head to the palace.

And the entire Ningrong and Rongfu also knew the news of Jia Heng's return from the south.

But when Sister Feng got up and put on her clothes, she felt powerless and cursed secretly in her heart.

At this moment, Ping'er was tidying up the embroidered couch, and seeing the mess, under the slender willow eyebrows, there was shame in her eyes, her cheeks blushed even more, she turned her face and looked at the beauty who was dressing in front of the mirror, secretly thought, no wonder Such drowsiness, I'm afraid it's really a lot of tossing.

"Grandma has been suffering for so long, and now... it is the end of the hardship." Ping'er came to Sister Feng and said cautiously.

Ever since Second Master Lian was exiled to Guizhou, Grandma has been a widow for a year. Although Grandma usually doesn't say who the handkerchief belongs to, but as her close friend, she has guessed the right owner.

Sister Feng's jade cheeks were reddish, she was very ashamed, and said angrily: "What are you doing with your hoof? I... just had a dream last night."

It's all wrong, but she still doesn't understand what that person means. There were so many tricks yesterday... Could it be that her daughter-in-law doesn't feel bad?

Still dreaming?I bother!
Make her like this for a while, make her that way for a while, it's clear that I just want to bully her all at once!
She was also blinded by lard yesterday and listened to his mercy.

Thinking of this, Sister Feng's heart was intertwined with joy and shame, she felt hot all over her body and couldn't control herself.

"Ping'er, hurry up and prepare hot water, I'll take a shower later." Sister Feng said with a straight face, biting her cherry lips with her white teeth.

Feeling uncomfortable inside and out right now.

"Grandma, let's wash up first." Ping'er stopped talking, and helped Sister Feng wash and change her clothes, and said softly, "Grandma, tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival."

Sister Feng nodded and settled her mind. The unprovoked Yanmei face in the bronze mirror looked like a rose, she pursed her moist and slightly pink lips, she didn't know what she was thinking, and said softly: "Let the house clean up, It’s so lively and lively.”

Ping'er looked at Sister Feng, whose melancholy expression disappeared from the corners of her brows and eyes, and said in her heart, Grandma has always been a strong one. Since that incident, the housekeepers in the house have been a little unhappy, and now she has won Uncle Heng's favor , in the future... I will be a little bit more public.

It's true that in today's Jia Mansion, Jia Heng really has a sense of self-importance.

In fact, Ping'er has a relatively good grasp of Sister Feng's psychology. Jia Heng's first-class Marquis Wu, the halo of a court official is the root cause of Sister Feng's tacit acquiescence.

Otherwise, even if Jia Heng looks like Pan An and Song Yu, Sister Feng will not be in a state of mind.

In the original book, Rong Qiang and Sister Feng got close, and Jia Lian never doubted that it was because she knew that Sister Feng had a strong temperament and kept herself clean.

But Jia Heng is different. Sister Feng almost watched the boy in common clothes step by step from the wicker alley to the first-class Marquis of Wu, the minister of military aircraft, and the governor of Jinyi...

Watching Qin Keqing transform from an ordinary girl into an incomparably honorable first-class wife, plus she is a widow, how can she not lose her mentality?
Jealousy, admiration, and even wishing to replace her with her body, but even so, Sister Feng did not "seduce" Jia Heng by drinking, which is different from Li Wan.

Some of Li Wan's performances after drinking, in addition to some subtle hints such as the fire-breathing apricot flowers outside Daoxiang Village in the original book of the Red Chamber, there is also the original No. 30 nine times eating crab feasts, and everyone eating wine is almost a plain text telegram.

Li Wan hugged Ping'er and said with a smile: "It's a pity that such a good-looking person has an ordinary life, so he can only be used around the house. People who don't know, who don't think of you as a grandma and wife."

While eating and drinking with Baochai Xiangyun, Ping'er turned around and said with a smile, "Grandma, don't just touch me, it makes me itchy."

Li said: "Ah! What is this hard thing?"

Ping'er said: "The key."

……

Ping'er didn't say much, just helped Sister Feng clean up the mess, and then prepared hot water.

Sister Feng returned to the wing room, went to the bathtub, took off her clothes, and planned to take a bath, but the slender straights that were close together were a little farther away, and she felt strange.

Ping'er's eyes were sharp, her heart was startled, she didn't dare to look any further, and said in a low voice, "Grandma, this...don't mean you have a child."

Sister Feng's pretty cheeks were blushing, she spat again, and said in a low voice: "But Qing has been in the house for so long and hasn't had a child yet, I don't see anything wrong with his body, so I won't go to the imperial doctor to take a good look. "

Ping'er didn't remind me any more, and said, "Grandma, towel."

He was lowering his head to untie his dress, suddenly he was taken aback, he clearly caught a glimpse of the red mark on the snow-white plump body, stroked it lightly, and asked with concern: "Grandma, did you fall just now?"

"Don't ask, the person who asks is annoying." Sister Feng felt her legs trembling, and she almost couldn't stand still. Fang's heart throbbed inexplicably, and she said shamefully.

It's simply out of place. Is this how he usually treats Ke Qing?

As he spoke, he stepped on the bamboo couch with his ankles that were as clean as jade, and with the sound of "哗啦啦", his plump and delicate body entered the bathtub. With the heat rising up, the released flower petals and spices floated in the whole water. Washing with warm water Creamy skin.

Sister Feng's gorgeous cheeks were slightly flushed, and for some reason, she was reminded of the entanglement last night.

In fact, apart from asking Sister Feng why she wore Keqing's clothes at the beginning, Jia Heng didn't say anything personal, and almost had no words to communicate in the whole process... But because of this, and some tricks that were repeated over and over again, Sister Feng really couldn't guess. Thoughtful.

Sister Feng couldn't help thinking wildly like a girl in a boudoir, did that person have herself in her heart?

Otherwise, how could you... toss and turn, tossing yourself tirelessly last night?

In fact, I don't know if Jia Heng is more... a tribute to the original work.

Who told Jia Lian that Sister Feng would not allow her to change her posture?
Obviously behaving normally, and the shame and indignation are shame and indignation, but the contradictory attitude that seems to refuse but still has a special interest.

In other words, the Huaxin young woman with a stronger temperament still hides a trace of emotional expectation that she is not aware of, hoping that someone with an indifferent face will be obsessed with her...

This is not Jia Rui, that directly makes Sister Feng feel disgusted, and she can't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible!
This is the first-class Marquis of Yongning in the Han Dynasty, the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Deputy Envoy of the Jingying Jiedu, the Crown Prince Taibao and Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Governor of Jinyi!
Not to mention what happened last night, even ordinary women would be secretly smug when they hear that such people are crazy about themselves.

But after Sister Feng's fantasy time passed, there were only three words of reason in her heart.

impossible!
I am a widow, so in the past that person looked down on some of my ruthless actions, and her voice was flat from beginning to end last night, as if she couldn't arouse any emotion at all.

Sister Feng scrubbed her beautiful neck with her slender hands, and then scrubbed the granary. For some reason, she felt a burst of upset, dispelling the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

What does she want to do with those messy things, bah, she is not a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

That's Ke Qing's man, last night was just a dream.

……

……

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall

Twelve screens and moon-shaped warm pavilion wooden frames divide the five halls in the front and back into several layers, and in the wing rooms where all kinds of precious vases and porcelain are placed, people are chatting and laughing.

On an Arhat bed covered with soft mattresses, Mother Jia is getting old and feels little at first. On the left side of Xiudun on the lower head is accompanied by Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Li Wan, Cao and several other young daughter-in-laws.

On the embroidered pier on the right are Baochai, Daiyu, Yingtan Xisanchun, Wenqi, Xiangyun, Baoqin, Zhenlan and Zhenxi.

Because it is impossible for all the sisters to be in the Grand View Garden during the Chinese New Year these few days, Mother Jia likes to be lively, so she called a group of Yingying and Yanyan to come and listen to the opera.

Well, Baoyu was also sitting on the embroidered pier beside him, chatting and laughing with Xiangyun and Baoqin, but from time to time, he peeked at Daiyu and observed Daiyu's expression.

Daiyu was talking softly with Baochai, since the two of them opened and read the letters that day, their relationship has become much closer than before.

Baoyu looked expectantly and asked: "Sister Baoqin, are there any remaining poems written by her in Zhenzhen Kingdom?"

It turned out that just now Baoqin mentioned traveling to the countries of Nanyang, and mentioned Zhenzhen country and wrote a poem.

Xiangyun laughed and said, "Brother Ai (second), it's unknown if sister Baoqin made up this."

Baoyu laughed and said, "Why did Sister Baoqin fabricate these things? Besides, there is nothing else to fabricate. Except for the Four Books and Five Classics, there are too many fabrications in the world."

Xiangyun said: "Brother Ai ([-]) is talking nonsense again, be careful not to let uncle overhear."

Jia Mu looked at Baoyu and Baoqin with plump cheeks with a smile, and said, "Girl Qin, you live in the garden. It's better to live with me. It's cheaper for Baoyu to talk and laugh."

Since Baoqin came here, Jia's mother loved this innocent girl with bright skin. Not long ago, she gave Baoqin a cloak that had been treasured for many years, and asked Mrs. Wang to accept Baoqin as her daughter.

Baoqin smiled, dimples appeared on her white and fat face, and the two little canine teeth looked innocent, and said: "Old ancestor, Nuona is still in the garden, Brother Heng asked me to accompany her of."

When she left the garden, it would be inconvenient to see Brother Heng.

Baochai looked at her cousin Baoqin, and there was a slight smile on her smooth and jade-skinned face.

Bao Qin is innocent and lively, and seems to please the old lady more than her.

Daiyu blinked her starry eyes, and said with a smile: "The old lady likes Baoqin very much."

She also understands now that when the old lady let her live in the house, she probably had other intentions besides caring for her.

Fortunately... I met Brother Heng.

Baoyu's white and greasy face, like a silver basin, was full of gentle smiles, completely missing the surly spirit that threw the jade back then, and said: "Yes, sister Baoqin, the old lady's side is more lively."

Since the Nalaoshizi Grand View Garden was repaired, the sisters in the mansion and the new sisters have all moved in to live in it. Who asked for it to be repaired?

Why not let him live in it!

Baoqin smiled sweetly, with a hint of wisdom in her watery apricot eyes, and said with a smile: "Second Brother Bao, after the Lantern Festival, you still have to go to school? You won't be able to see Second Brother Bao then, right?"

Baoyu's face collapsed for a while, unhappy.

Mrs. Wang nodded, looked at Jiamu, with a smile on her fair face, and said, "Old lady, Baoyu has passed the Lantern Festival, let him go to school, so that he can enter school as soon as possible and take the imperial examination."

Although with the passage of time, Baoyu lost the previous situation of being surrounded by stars in a hairpin skirt and ring jacket, but in the eyes of Mrs. Wang, Baoyu has indeed improved a lot and knows how to "read".

Especially when Li Shouzhong and Lin Ruhai successively served as great officials in the frontier, Mrs. Wang's mind became alive again.

If the imperial examination is a high school, let that uncle Heng work harder in the future...

At this time, Mother Jia turned to look at Li Wan with a smile on her face, and said, "Mother Lan, you received the letter from your father last time, right? Some, learn it over there, and take the exam in the north in the future, and it will be easier to get some."

Ever since Jia Heng learned that Jia Lan was a talent that could be cultivated, Li Shouzhong secretly paid attention to it and planned to cultivate it well.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Yes, but the south is farther away. After all, Brother Lang is too young."

Li Wan wore an elegant blue dress, a pearl hairpin pinned to the cloud, and thin powder on his face, and said softly: "Father told me, I want to wait a year or two, and I have already returned to my father." Believe it."

After her father appointed her as the governor of Anhui, she wondered if she had thought about it a little more. She obviously felt that the old lady and her mother-in-law had a much closer attitude towards her than before.

If this is just a faint feeling, then the feeling in Rongfu is much stronger. When she sees the eldest wife who didn't pay much attention to him in the past, she smiles at her no matter how far away, and those nuns and maids are separated from each other. Salute for a long time.

This……

Li Wan sighed inwardly, maybe the root cause of all this was that night?

Ripples formed in the lake of the young woman's heart, gradually reflecting a young man with a calm face and sharp eyebrows.

She really drank too much that day, thinking about it afterwards, how could she do such shameless things, fortunately...Zi Yu understood her difficulties.

Jia Mu said with a smile: "That's fine. It's not too late to go when I'm older. Now the mansion is well-equipped with civil and military affairs, and it's flourishing. Even if I'm under Jiuquan immediately, I have something to say to the two princes."

It has to be said that since the first generation of Rongning and Ningxia, the Jia Mansion has declined at a speed visible to the naked eye, but now it is showing signs of revival
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "The old lady looks tougher than us, how can I say that."

This is thriving, after all, it is because of Brother Heng's success.

Brother Heng, this is her son-in-law.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at his own daughter, his eyes lingered on the muscular and plump girl's face, but he sighed again in his heart.

Girl Bao didn't know where she and Brother Heng had come, their children didn't matter, what if... she, a mother, couldn't ask.

Brother Heng said that he made a meritorious service and proposed marriage. In the future, he will give Bao girl a royal order. How long will he have to wait?

In fact, Jia Heng is gradually gaining popularity in Rongning and Ningxia, except for Mrs. Wang who is still worried about Yuanchun and Baoyu.

Of course, if there are no twists and turns in the war against captives, um...

As Jia Mu spoke, she glanced at Mrs. Wang and asked, "Baoyu's mother, when will Baoyu's uncle come back?"

Mrs. Wang said: "I'm still in Beiping at the moment. Last time I wrote to say that I will go back to Beijing this summer."

Wang Ziteng followed Li Zan to Beiping Mansion to serve as a general, and originally wanted to fight a turnaround. After arriving there, he would be considered an honest man. Of course, there is no war in Beiping now.

Mother Jia nodded and said nothing more.

The Wang family is also different from the Li family and the Lin family. The Wang family wanted to snatch their Jia family's right to speak in the army, so Brother Heng was right for not supporting them.

"Yuanyang, call Feng girl over here, what time is it, haven't you woken up yet?" Jiamu asked with a smile.

Without Sister Feng, the atmosphere in Rongqingtang would be worse after all, not cheerful enough.

In fact, this is also some of Jia's mother's positioning of Sister Feng. It hurts her granddaughter-in-law, but it also has something to do with Sister Feng's warm-up king and atmosphere group.

It's just that as Sister Feng became a widow, every time she told jokes in Rongqing Hall, Sister Feng herself had a forced smile.

After all, the husband was exiled, he was a widow, and he had no children under his knees, so he had to chat and laugh with Jia Mu.

Although Sister Feng never showed it, one can imagine the depression in her heart. Only in the lonely late night, Ping'er, the close maid, can understand a little.

Yuanyang responded with a smile, and was about to leave Rongqing Hall to look for Sister Feng.

But at this moment, Dan smiled before hearing, "Old ancestor."

After a while, the fairy concubine, who is beautifully decorated with beads and brilliantly embroidered, entered the hall with a smile. The floral crepe skirt and the jade pendants around her jingle.

The beauty has a melon-shaped face, a pair of red and phoenix triangle eyes, and two curved willow-leaf hanging eyebrows. She is slender and has a coquettish physique.

This time it's real pink face with spring, at a glance, the skin is fragrant and jade skin, like a red plum with dew, delicate and charming for no reason, the red lips are not parted, and the sandalwood mouth and white teeth are crystal clear and extravagant.

In fact, last night Jia Heng probably felt more desire than passion, except for the first time she made a mistake, she never kissed Sister Feng again.

It has to be said that Sister Feng's radiant and charming appearance at the moment suddenly entered the Rongqing Hall, almost making Jia's mother slightly startled, and immediately felt that it might be due to the approaching Lantern Festival and her heart's joy.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Old Ancestor, you kept calling me when I was in the house just now, thinking of coming over to say hello to you."

With a smile on her face, Jia Mu looked at the one not far away and said, "I see, you have grown ears."

Everyone also smiled and looked at the young woman in Huaxin, but Li Wan took an extra look and caught a trace of natural charm in the corners of her brows and eyes, and doubts flashed deep in her heart.

Sister Feng laughed and said, "Old Ancestor, this is what we call a tacit understanding."

For some reason, some resentment hidden in the depths of my heart seemed to be released last night... as if it was gone.

Jia Mu smiled, and seemed to feel the real lightness in Sister Feng's heart who was smiling all over her face, and said, "I said, why is it celebrating the Lantern Festival today, and listening to operas every day is not very interesting."

Sister Feng smiled and said: "We have invited jugglers, since it's the Lantern Festival and putting on lanterns, these are all indispensable, and we also have to guess lantern riddles and have a banquet."

Jia Mu smiled and said: "That's good, this year should be lively and lively, but it's a pity that Brother Heng is not here."

When everyone in the hall heard the mention of Jia Heng, Chai Dai, and Lan Xi, who were speaking softly, they all looked up at Jia Mu.

At this moment, the nurse outside said: "Old lady, Master Heng is back."

On Sister Feng's beautiful face, the smile froze for a moment, she picked up the teacup at the side, and took a sip, her heartbeat involuntarily increased a bit.

Last night was obviously a dream, why did she wake up still...
