The Red Mansions

Chapter 979 Zhen Qing: I don't know how the wedding will be...

Grand View Garden, Hengwu Garden

The mid-noon sun shines on the jade steps of the courtyard, as if covering the houses in the Hengwu Garden with thin golden gauze clothes, the evening is sinking, and the lights are just coming on.

Jia Heng took Baochai's slender hand, and the soft and delicate feeling overflowed in the palm.

Jia Heng said: "It's very good, what do you say is worthy or not? We have been together for so long, why did I care about these things?"

Under Baochai's eyebrows, tears rolled down from her apricot eyes, Lirui's cheeks hung with tears, and she said softly, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng said softly: "After another year or so, there will be more merits in the side affairs. At that time, I will ask you for a marriage."

Baochai shook her head and said, "Brother Heng, I don't care about those things."

On the premise that both daughters of the clan are married to Brother Heng, how could she be given another marriage?

Jia Heng said: "Besides, when you are a Duke, it is not as easy as it was before. At that time, when the court was rewarding meritorious service, I took advantage of the situation and asked for a concubine for my sister. This is good for everyone."

It is true that Baochai is not young, and she does not look very good. Baochai has been in Jia's mansion for almost three years, and the two of them have been together for almost two years, but Baochai is still an underground love affair. point.

Coupled with the joke made by Aunt Xue not long ago, the mother and daughter of the Xue family have become the jokes of Ningrong and Rongfu.

Of course, did Baochai retreat to advance?This... belongs to the beholder.

In fact, regardless of Baochai's background or temperament, he definitely doesn't want to be named a concubine like Sister You, but the difficulty of becoming a county king, even ordinary people, is difficult. Knowing is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Baochai leaned her head against the boy's arms, and was held by Jia Heng, and said softly, "Since Brother Heng said so, I am willing to wait."

Jia Heng put his hands into the skirt of his clothes, lightly built a snowman, and said in surprise: "Wait? If you wait any longer, you will really become a big girl."

Baochai's jade face was blushing, and a sweetness gradually surged in her heart, and she leaned her head against Jia Heng's arms.

At this moment the golden lock was opened, it can be seen that the young man is not tired of his body.

Jia Heng took the handkerchief and gently stroked the teardrops from the girl's eyes, and said, "Who in the mansion doesn't know that you belong to me? If you wait any longer, what will they say if they don't know."

Baochai said "hmm" and said softly, "Then I... I'll listen to Brother Heng."

After the two got bored for a while, Jia Heng raised his head and looked at the shy girl.

Baochai asked, "Over there, what is Brother Heng's plan?"

Jia Heng thought for a while, then said: "I told Uncle Lin before, I don't know if Sister Lin told you, but she is to inherit incense for the Lin family."

Of course, with the status of the duke of another country, it is impossible to be a concubine for the Lin family, and the palace will not allow it.

Under Baochai's beautiful eyebrows like emerald green feathers, there was a hint of thought in her moist almond eyes, and she said softly: "We have said in private, and the hairpin said that Uncle Lin agreed to the marriage."

Jia Heng smiled and said to the plump and blush girl in surprise, "I said it in private? Are you on such a good relationship now?"

The relationship between Chai and Dai is becoming more and more harmonious, which is actually a good thing, so as to save the family from restlessness.

Baochai gave a "hmm" and said, "Brother Heng, Yan'er has also been talking about Brother Heng these days, why didn't Brother Heng even send a letter when he was fighting at the border."

When the girl finished speaking, there was a hint of annoyance in her tone.

Jia Heng said: "I was too busy at the border, with so many things to think about, so I didn't go home to write a letter, and once I wrote it, it was not a letter."

Baochai said, "Brother Heng is just busy with state affairs."

Jia Heng said: "Sister Lin still doesn't care much about her status, she wants me to spend more time with her."

Baochai:"……"

Does this mean that she cares about fame?But she also wanted him to spend more time with her.

Jia Heng thought about something, looked at Yingrun's slightly opened lips with a smile, and the girl whose face had changed, asked, "Why, are you thinking wildly again? The size of the birth, the birth of a concubine, and the birth of a concubine are actually not that important."

Baochai bit her lower lip with her white teeth, and said softly: "These are rules that have been passed down for thousands of years, so it's not easy to break them."

It's hard to say about title inheritance or something, otherwise it seems like she is thinking about it.

Jia Heng hugged the girl's plump and delicate body, with a faint and cold fragrance floating under the wings of his nose, he said softly: "Our family is getting along with each other, I think that when we have children in the future, we will all look at what we can do. It’s like the people who succeeded the nobles of the Ningrong and Rongfu before, no matter how many family fortunes they have, they can’t keep it.”

Baochai let out a "hmm", her apricot eyes shone brightly, and she said softly, "Brother Heng said so."

Jia Heng said: "Actually, Xianning and Chanyue's age is the time to talk about getting married this time. The reason why there is a cohabitation in the palace is for the two of them."

Speaking of which, Baochai still has some vague expectations in her heart, but now that her expectations have failed, she can't help feeling sorry for her own dark and unclear fate, and she can't help but feel sorry for herself.

This kind of sex was not originally prepared for Chai Dai.

Baochai said softly: "At the beginning, I also met the eldest princess on the boat, and she was determined to recruit Brother Heng as his son-in-law."

Her lover is now a young prince. In terms of vision, the eldest princess is indeed unique.

Jia Heng sighed, and said: "I can have what I am today, and I rely more on the power of Princess Jinyang. If Princess Jinyang had not recommended me to the imperial court, I might not be able to achieve my ambitions today. Chanyue is also with the princess. Shi Wuzheng's temperament, after she passes through the door, you should get along well."

Baochai nodded, and said, "The princess and Mao'er are quite congenial, and the two of them have had a good time playing together these few days."

She always felt that Princess Xianning didn't think much of her, and Princess Qinghe was alright, and she was usually quite polite when talking to her.

Jia Heng smiled lightly, and said: "That's good, I said after the big wedding, let's go to Jinling again, and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River."

Mainly to look at Zhen Qing, Zhen Xue and Jin Yang.

Baochai said softly: "Brother Heng, Princess Xianning and the princess are going to Jiangnan, so it's not easy for us to follow them all the way?"

Jia Heng said: "Then all go south for a walk, I'll take care of the Jinling Navy by the way, and I'm going to Tianjin Wei to train troops this autumn."

Now I'm just taking a break from my busy schedule, and when everything is in order, I need to reorganize the northern border affairs.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Jia Heng came to Baochai's ear and whispered: "I haven't seen you for a while, and I miss my sister a little. Let me take a look at Jinsuo."

Baochai responded shyly and timidly, her plump, white and greasy face was already as red as a glow of blush, looking at the young man, she stretched out her hand to gently put down the hanging gold hook, and then moved closer to her.

Jia Heng untied the girl's clothes and asked, "Sister Xue, is the business of the shop in Beijing going well recently?"

Baochai said softly: "Everything is fine, Brother Heng, do you want to see those account books later?"

Jia Heng smiled and said, "I won't watch it now."

Then, he stared at the young girl, lingering over Wanli's eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "Let me serve my sister."

Baochai looked at the young man, gave a soft "hmm", turned her head aside, and let the young man do whatever she wanted.

After some time, Jia Heng looked at the delicate and trembling girl, her hair was falling down like a waterfall, and her muscular, white and greasy face was covered with blush, and she said in a low voice: "Sister Xue wants No... Serve and serve me too?"

In fact, Baochai is quite traditional in the matter of men and women. Although she didn't have much resistance to him when getting along with him, she didn't want to save her body until the wedding night.

But the problem is, according to this posture, the big wedding does not know when.

Baochai's mind was swayed by that scorching gaze, she turned her beautiful scorpion's head aside, she was too ashamed to restrain herself, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng."

As he spoke, he moved closer.

This is not the first time for the two of them, and they are familiar with each other.

I don't know when, the night is falling, and it is almost the right time.

After a while, Jia Heng pulled the plump-cheeked girl close to her arms, and said softly, "Sister Xue, let's be a real couple tonight."

It's always nowhere near it, and it's not interesting at all.

Hearing this, Baochai's delicate body trembled slightly, and she said "Mmm" in a voice like a mosquito, "Brother Heng, I..."

Jia Heng said softly: "Sister Xue is not willing?"

Baochai said quickly, "No, I'll look for a handkerchief."

If he waits for the marriage from the palace, then he doesn't know when, it's better to be a real husband and wife today, and he will never want to abandon her in his life.

Jia Heng was not in a hurry, but watched Baochai take out a handkerchief from under the pillow, and spread it on the brocade quilt.

Jia Heng watched Baochai busy with great interest, then took Baochai's plain hand, and said softly: "Sister Xue has a heart."

Baochai lowered her head, pursed her pink lips, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, please have mercy..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her delicate body shook, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her moist almond eyes raised, and she met the young man's eyes, but she saw the familiar soft and desiring breath approaching her cheeks.

After a while, Baochai's heart was shaken, and there was an unavoidable grunt from her nostrils, and her moist almond eyes quickly closed, like a small boat sailing on a long journey in a stormy sea.

But Ying'er, the maid who was lighting the lantern, paused in her hands, and heard the soft humming from the inside, her young white and beautiful face was blushing like a rosy cloud, she didn't dare to say anything, and tiptoed out of the room.

At this moment, the night is falling, and the cool summer wind blows the vines in the courtyard, and every time it blows, the branches and leaves dance and rustle.

But I don't know when, the sky was cloudy, and the summer rain that had been brewing for a long time poured down, and it fell on the majestic and magnificent palaces of Ningrong and Rongfu. The towering vines and small flowers swayed in the violent wind and rain, and the rolling raindrops flowed down the wet wall.

It is the summer solstice time of the year again.

After a long time, Jia Heng's face was calm, and he looked at the frowning and silent girl with warm eyes. His face was flushed like a pear, and even his earlobes were tender and charming. He couldn't help saying in a warm voice: "Sister Xue, are you OK."

Baochai's plump face was blush like clouds, her apricot eyes were as bright as water, and there was a hint of thrilling softness in her slightly trembling voice, she cast her watery eyes on the young man, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng. "

From now on, she...is Brother Heng's woman.

Jia Heng gently took Baochai's plain hand, interlocked his fingers, and leaned close to Baochai's ear, kissed those two bright red lips, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xue, call your husband."

In past and present lives, Chai and Dai are undoubtedly the two jewels in the crown of the Red Mansion, and the softness and crispness just now are indeed worthy of the reputation of crystal snow in the mountains.

"Husband." Baochai called out softly, the corners of her brows and eyes revealing the charm of being a new wife, and there is a burst of joy and sweetness in her moist almond eyes.

The two got tired of hugging each other for a while, after all Jia Heng felt pity for Baochai and Biguaxinpo, but he didn't bother anymore, the two talked together.

……

……

Just when Jia Heng was immersed in the gentle countryside in Beijing, Jinling, thousands of miles away, Zhen's house——

It was just when night fell, and lanterns were hanging under the eaves and corridors, dimming circles of light shadows. In the courtyard, a cool breeze blew across the lake. passed away.

In the backyard, the lights were brightly lit, as bright as the day.

Zhen Qing was sitting opposite Zhen Xue in the attic, holding a piece of paper in her hand and reading the information. Under the light of the candle, the plump beauty, with brows and eyes full of joy, said softly: "Third class The Duke of Wei has both the Rongning and Ningfu prefectures, Xianning and Qinghe are married together, what a blessing."

Putting down the note paper, gently stroking the slightly protruding lower abdomen, it really is the Duke of the State, her son has the protection of the Duke of Wei, and the position in the future will definitely be secure.

Zhen Xue also took the paper, stared at it, and said softly, "Sister, with Ziyu's merits, how can you be the third-class Duke of Wei?"

Under Zhen Qing's slender eyebrows, a strong longing gradually surged in her beautiful eyes, and she said softly: "Actually, this is the meaning of the palace's security and grace, otherwise such a great contribution must be a first-class prince." , and the next time you make a contribution, it will not be easy to confer rewards, and now that Xianning and Chanyue are married, it is considered a grace."

Zhen Xuemei's eyes were as bright as water, and she said with emotion: "Yes, since the founding of the country, there have only been four county kings, and they were awarded martial arts when the country was founded to conquer the world. This step is really not easy."

Since the founding of Chen Han, there have been a total of four kings, eight dukes and twelve marquises, but there were no dukes in the Taizong and Longzhi dynasties, which shows the gold content of the Duke of Han.

It can be said that Jia Heng is now the de facto No.1 in the Han army.

Feeling sad in Zhen Qing's eyes, she said softly, "We got married in the middle of the month, but we can't go back to watch the ceremony."

She will never be able to marry that bastard in her life, and she doesn't know how grand and grand the wedding is.

That bastard is also cruel. She and her sister are both pregnant. In the past few months, they haven't seen a single letter from him.

Zhen Xue gently caressed her swollen belly, and said, "Sister, Ziyu should be fine after this battle."

Zhen Qing said in a low voice: "It must be much more peaceful in the north. He should have time to go south. Didn't he say that he will go south to rectify the navy? He should come over."

Zhen Xue sighed quietly, and said, "I haven't seen you for half a year in a while."

She was due to give birth to Lin'er in a few months, and she wondered if Zi Yu could come and accompany their mother and daughter.

……

……

Qi Wangfu

King Chen Cheng of Qi County changed his clothes, swayed his obese body, and walked quickly to the study room, met Dou Rong, Jia Yucun and others who were looking at him with concern, nodded and said: "Father, the emperor ordered me to Restore the title of Prince, and wait for the imperial decree tomorrow."

King Qi was deprived of his title of prince due to the Sanhe gang incident. After supervising the construction of the imperial tomb, escorting military supplies, food and fodder, and other credits, he was rewarded with two things.

"Congratulations, my lord." Dou Rong, Jia Yucun, Xu Shaozhen, and monk Huitong stood up one after another, congratulating Qi Wang Chen Cheng.

Chen Hong also nodded, and said: "The original story has already been covered, and His Highness still has to look forward."

Chen Cheng, king of Qi County, sat down angrily, and said: "In the blink of an eye, it has been almost two years since my king was deposed. If it wasn't for the slander from the child back then, how could this king be in such a difficult situation?"

This time, it's not that I didn't think about making some tricks on the grain and hay, but in the end I suppressed the impulse in my heart.

Fortunately, he didn't follow the Shanxi merchants to mess around, otherwise, Jia Heng's child would return with a big victory, and the father would be even more furious at that time. At that time, it would not be the restoration of the prince's title, and the county king would not be able to keep it.

However, this kid was really lucky, the guns of the Hongyi Cannon actually killed Huang Taiji, and now the whole big man is holding him up to the sky.

King Qi was still depressed, he took the teacup on the small table, took a sip, and said in a low voice: "Your son has now become the Duke of the state, and has become a relative, what should I say?"

Everyone sat down one after another.

King Qi cast his eyes on Dou Rong and said, "Dou Changshi."

Dou Rong twisted his beard under his jaw with his hands, thinking in his old eyes, and said: "My lord, after a great victory, the Duke of Wei is now famous all over the world, and his power is second to none, but his martial arts are like the king of Nan'an County, etc. People are jealous and mad, civil servants are jealous and guarded, but the northern captives cannot be separated from Wei Guogong, and it is really inappropriate to be an enemy with him now, the prince should bear his anger for a while."

King Qi is a nobleman in Tianhuang, he can call Jia Heng's son, but ordinary people dare not follow him to call him, even in private.

Facing King Qi's eyes, Jia Yucun said: "What Dou Changshi said is very true. The Duke of Wei was a young man who was granted the title of Duke. He is an extremely talented minister. Seeing the rising power of martial arts, civil servants will definitely not be happy to see it."

In fact, the Wenchen Group is mainly composed of Han Huang, Zhao Mo and other Jiangnan gentry. Although it is divided into Anhui and Jiangsu, the collective will of the literati cannot be broken temporarily.

King Qi said: "I see that although this kid is good at fighting, but these two big victories against Jurchen, after careful consideration, most of them relied on the red barbarian firearms. This red barbarian firearm is made by the little boy, but not by others?"

This is actually a kind of speech in Beijing today.

That is, the audio transmission of Jia Heng's victory is mostly due to luck.

In the Central Plains, a group of farmers who had just put down their hoes were beating up indiscriminately, which was crushed by the government and army.

Whether it's the Jurchen water battle - the victory at Haimen, the victory at Chongmingsha, or the war in the north, they all have one thing in common, the use of red barbarian firearms to control the eastern captives.

King Qi said, looked at Chen Hong who was not far away, and said, "What do you think, brother?"

Chen Hong pondered for a while, and said: "Duke Wei is now in charge of the Beijing camp as a foreign relative, and there is already a danger of Tai Ah taking over, but now the emperor is immersed in the joy of winning the Jurchen, and as time goes by, the joy of the emperor fades away. There are bound to be people inside and outside the court who are vigilant, and the Son of Heaven will also consider the relationship between Duke Wei and King Wei."

King Qi frowned and said: "Brother Wang, today I went to see Grandpa Huang. His health is getting worse and worse, and his attitude towards me seems to be not as good as before."

Chen Hongdao: "Your Highness, do you know why Fourth Uncle wants to restore your princely title?"

"Why?" Qi Wang was surprised, and said: "Isn't this king's merits worth it, and father's talent?"

"The king of Wei is very powerful. He has a father-in-law like the king of Nan'an, and he has a close relationship with Jia Ziyu. If things go on like this, the imperial power will inevitably fall aside, and the palace has the ambition of rejuvenation." Chen Hong said.

A stream of cold sweat oozes from the back of Duke Qi, and he said, "Could it be that this king and the king of Chu are both used to restrain the king of Wei?"

Doesn't he and the King of Chu have no chance of aspiring to become a great treasure, and they just came here to make up the numbers?

Chen Hongdao: "It's probably like this now. The king of Wei has a better chance of winning, and the king of Chu has a better chance than His Highness."

"I'm not reconciled!" King Qi said quietly.

Chen Hong's eyes were dim, and he said in a low voice: "Your Highness is not the only one who is not reconciled."

As soon as this remark came out, King Qi's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he looked at Chen Hong suspiciously.

Chen Hong glanced at Jia Yucun and Dou Rong, and Dou Rong understood, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, let's go down first."

Saying that, he left the study together with Jia Yucun, Xu Shaozhen, Huitong and others.

A look of surprise appeared on King Qi's face, and he stared at Chen Hong.

However, Chen Hong took out a letter from the sleeve, handed it over, and said, "Your Highness can take a look at this."

King Qi took the letter from Chen Hong, looked down, and was startled.

Without him, this is a letter from Chen Yuan, the son of King Zhao.

"Brother, what do you mean?" King Qi put down the letter, and looked at Chen Hong with mung bean-sized eyes, shocked.

Chen Hongdao: "At this point, we have to unite with this one, otherwise His Highness will never have the day to inherit the great rule!"

Although the person in front of him has regained his princely title, he is no longer a member of the Sacred Heart. If he wants to ascend the throne, he has to take an unusual path.
