Battle of the Red Chamber Ring III
Chapter 105
When Zeng Baijia brought his daughter-in-law to the city, he was shocked by the beauty of the yard. His wife’s surname was Yang, and she was called Second Sister because she was the second child. The mother-in-law of the family thought that this girl was hardworking, so she settled for her son.
Second Sister Yang’s family is very poor, to what extent, even the holidays can’t be solved. Although the three sisters can work in the fields like men, their family is still very poor. Unlike most people in Zengjia Village, the Yang family is actually a foreigner. Yes, it's just that their grandparents have been multiplied in the village for three generations. To the head of the village, this family is actually his own. There are very few people with the surname Yang in the village, and there are more in the generation of the second sister Yang's father, but I don't know. Somehow they all moved out one day, and only Second Sister Yang's father and family were left.
The second sister's family has only one younger brother, but he suffered a lot because of this younger brother. He was born weak, and his parents cared about his younger brother. Naturally, he paid less attention to the three sisters. He was just working hard to earn money. That's all.
Second Sister Yang’s marriage was half-sold and half-gifted, and Zeng Baijia’s identity was not mentioned when proposing the marriage before. Although most of the families with daughters in the village now regret it, but Second Sister Yang and Zeng Baijia have already cooked rice. not coming.
Second Sister Yang had heard that Zeng Baijia had a yard in the city, but how could she know that it would be such a luxury, or that she was lucky? Thinking about it this way, she found people kneeling on the ground in the yard, facing the people in the yard, Zeng Baijia didn't say much, just pointed to the manager and showed it to Second Sister Yang, and Second Sister Yang was a little more restrained looking at people.
Zeng Baijia sat on the chair in the lobby by himself, watched Second Sister Yang sit on the other side, and then turned to the main pipe below: "You go and order someone to come over and see the mistress, and I will leave all the affairs in this yard to her in the future." gone."
Second Sister Yang blushed a little when she heard what Zeng Baijia said, and she straightened her back even more. She subconsciously pinched her hands, and felt that this movement seemed not generous, and cautiously placed her hands on her knees. Put them side by side.
The main pipe standing on the side said, "I told them to wait a long time ago. I just waited for the uncle and wife to come, so I came to say hello." He said, and the people outside lined up in two lines and filed in.
Second Sister Yang looked at the slim women on her left, wearing all kinds of jackets. Although they all bowed their heads, they didn't see the fair faces of each other. She pulled her clothes unconsciously, feeling a little inferior.Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Zeng Baijia whispering to her: "You just came here, and tomorrow you will order someone to invite the sewing lady to make some clothes. After a while, you will have a banquet with friends at home. If you have a female family member, please be enthusiastic." welcome."
Although his voice was soft, the people below could hear him. The commotion below stopped suddenly. Zeng Baijia naturally knew what everyone was thinking. It's clear to himself, but he thought that these things are his wife's affairs. It's not good to participate too much, so he didn't do anything else. He just ordered the housekeeper to take Second Sister Yang to the warehouse to check his assets. If there is an accident, she will be the one who will be with her for the rest of her life.
On the second day after arriving in the city, Zeng Baijia excitedly ran to Jia Huan's mansion to greet him. As a result, the empty courtyard completely changed, not to mention the three or four spirited guards standing at the door, who entered the door. Seeing the flowery garden, he still hadn't regained his senses, and was dazed by the corridor with nine twists and eighteen bends, until he arrived at the door of what seemed to be a study room, and saw a handsome man cupping his hands towards him.
Zeng Baijia hurriedly bent down and returned a salute.
"You are Zeng Baijia, Brother Zeng, right? Next is Chun Geng, who is serving by the young master's side. He just came from the capital. I will ask Brother Zeng to take care of you in the future." Chun Geng didn't have a smile on his face, but he said that His words carried a natural gentleness.
Zeng Baijia had never heard Jia Huan mention his previous life in the capital, so he had no idea about Chun Geng, so he smiled at him, and waited for the other party to open the door before entering to see Jia Huan.
Not only the scenery outside has changed a lot, but Jia Huan himself has also changed a lot. Zeng Baijia felt that he was a little dazzled. On the jacket, there are many complicated dark patterns embroidered on it, which always makes me feel a little dazzled.
"Third brother..." Zeng Baijia felt that his mood was very complicated. He had never felt that the other party was so far away from him, just like when he was still in the recruit camp.There seems to have always been a gap between them, and the relationship between themselves and each other has always been that of the rescuer and the rescued.
"You're here, sit down." Jia Huan didn't think too much about it. Before Zeng Baijia came, he was trying to practice his handwriting. Age and experience seemed to be very important things.When I just started to practice calligraphy, it was just a mechanical imitation, but this time I looked at it again, but found the beauty in it.He put the brush in his hand aside, got up and sat next to Zeng Baijia, and ordered tea to be served.
Zeng Baijia said embarrassingly: "I just came back yesterday, and today I came to see Third Brother." After he finished speaking, with a trace of doubt on his face, he asked the question in his heart, "It's just people from Third Brother's house, but There are a lot of faces I haven't seen before."
Jia Huan thought for a while, and said, "It's the person who served in my original mansion. He only came around Chinese New Year. It's normal that you haven't seen him before."
"Could it be that the third brother's mansion wants the third brother to go back?" When Zeng Baijia heard that he was in the capital, he immediately fell in love.
"I didn't mention it." Jia Huan didn't think about this part at first, but when Zeng Baijia asked him, he thought about it a little bit, and said with a slight frown: "Father in the house is so busy." He probably won't have time to think about it. What's more, their Jia family has just stabilized now, so it is natural to do less and make less mistakes.
Zeng Baijia didn't say anything, just looked around and found no one else, carefully found a letter from his arms, and handed it to Jia Huan: "I don't know why General Peng sent the letter to In my hometown, it's just that the roll call is for the third brother."
Jia Huan was a little strange, so he reached out to take it, and looked carefully, and found that it was written by Peng Lai, and it also said that Zeng Sanqian had signed it.I used Zeng San, this letter is probably not as simple as I thought.He touched the envelope, the inside should be paper, carefully cut the envelope open, inside was actually an envelope with the same letter from Zeng San as the outside, with a thin piece of paper inside, Jia Huan took a look, Having realized something in my heart, I ignored the letter inside and sealed it with wax.
Carefully pressed the envelope under the rice paper, and sent Zeng Baijia out.After seeing Zeng Baijia riding away on horseback, he called for Chun Geng.
Chun Geng was packing up his things, but when he heard Jia Huan calling him, he knew something was up.
"I have something in the study, you tell people to watch it, if someone wants to take it, don't stop it, just follow him, don't lose it." Jia Huan touched his forehead, then looked at the sky, "The weather is fine , I'll go out for a while."
"Will you go with me, little one?" Chun Geng asked someone to prepare the carriage, and turned to ask Jia Huan, but Jia Huan didn't seem to hear him. He just waited for the carriage to come by the corner gate, and the gray carriage curtain fluttered in the wind. It was Rongda who drove the carriage.
Seeing Jia Huan jumping down from the carriage, Rong Da eagerly said to Jia Huan, "Where is the young master going? Just tell me, I promise to take the shortest route. Besides, I am most familiar with the road in Xining." Yes." When he said this, he was very proud, and his face was unconsciously brought out, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chun Geng looking at him with a half-smile, and unconsciously his back shivered, and he let out a sneer.
Jia Huan had something on his mind, so he didn't say much, just got into the carriage and let Rongda go first.
Rong Da drove the carriage and left the gate. Seeing Jia Huan leaving, Chun Geng turned around to carry out Jia Huan's orders. He was originally cautious, so he went to the study to watch.
The people in Jia Huan's yard are not complicated, except for the two rough envoys I found in Xining before, there is only the nanny who came with Shi Xiangyun, and now she only works in her own yard, and the others are almost all from the city. If there is a problem with the people brought here, then it means that the matter this time has something to do with the nobles in Kyoto.
Chun Geng was originally cultivated in Nanwang Shizi's mansion. In his eyes, apart from the Holy One, there are not many others.
Not long after Jia Huan went out, he saw someone sneaking in front of the study door. Chun Geng was originally squatting on the eaves.He was sharpening the knife in his hand boredly, but when he saw the person coming, his eyes widened unconsciously.
It was her, I didn't expect it, Chun Geng unconsciously stroked the knife in his hand along the edge.The person who came here was the nanny who followed Shi Xiangyun back then. She was already over 50 years old, and she didn’t need to do anything on weekdays. She just told the rules of the maids, and occasionally went to Shi Xiangyun’s place to say hello. Since he had already returned to the capital, Shi Xiangyun should naturally go with him.
Chun Geng remembered that the Zhen family hadn't sold their house in Xining, and remembered that a while ago someone reported that Mammy had found someone to help her nephew with a shopping job.
With a plan in his mind, he watched the nanny look around before entering the study, and sneaked out again after a while, closing the door carefully.
As the nanny walked outside impatiently, she touched her chest subconsciously, but when she saw someone, she quickly took her hand away.Chun Geng watched the other party greet several people along the way, his expression unchanged, so he gave a little praise from the bottom of his heart, and then saw the nanny walking along a secluded path, and vaguely saw a strange man at the door. But he was wearing the clothes of a servant in the house.
Not to mention that Chun Geng rarely did his own job and followed people all the way. Jia Huan's Rongda drove a carriage around the entire town several times, but the routes were different, and he didn't let others know their final destination. , Jia Huan bought a lot of things along the way, including several items for food alone.Among them, I ate a bowl of wontons while passing by the street in front of the General's Mansion.
Sure enough, the wonton stall that had disappeared had been set up again, but no information was given to him now.After the old man only dipped in cold water and wrote the words "wait on the table", he wiped off the water stain with a rag while saying that the guest should use it slowly.
After Jia Huan finished drinking the wontons, he put the copper plate on the ground, and then ordered Rong Da to drive back to the outskirts of the city.
It only took one morning to go back and forth, and it happened to be lunch time when we arrived at the yard. When the servants saw Jia Huan coming back, they got up and opened the door to say hello.
Jia Huan handed Xia Yun the jacket he was wearing, and asked, "Where is Chungeng?"
Xia Yun replied in a low voice: "I went to do what the young master ordered, and I haven't come back yet."
"Let him come to see me first when he comes back." Jia Huan nodded, then looked at Xia Yun suddenly and said, "The three of you are here, why don't you see Dongzang?"
"Dongzang is serving by Shizi's side now. If the young master misses it, it's better to die at the son's mansion." Xia Yun has always known more news than Chun Geng, and he has never concealed his connection with Shizi. For Jia Huan , Chun Geng and others represent not only Chi Chen's care, but also Chi Chen's eyes and ears.
"Isn't there Mu Mu at Chi Chen's place? I remember that Master and the others knew each other." Jia Huan's memory is not bad, and he vaguely remembered that it was a boy who was about his own age, but he seemed a little arrogant.
"Those little ones don't know. I just heard that he annoyed the prince, and he hasn't appeared in the prince's mansion now." The word annoyed is probably the most accurate, but I heard that it seems to have something to do with my young master, but other things Xia Yun couldn’t find out about it, because Mu Kun specifically told him that if he sees Mu Mu in the future, he needs to be more careful, and he can’t tell more about the young master, so that he can learn, not to mention that he had been in contact with the Shizi’s mansion before. He followed Mu Mu, and now he changed people suddenly, and the other party was replaced by Dongzang, so he was naturally more comfortable than Mu Mu.
Jia Huan didn't know the specific situation, but since Xia Yun said so, he just listened to it. He was a little worried about the situation of Jiang Yan and others, so he waited for Chun Geng in the study after lunch. information.
Not to mention here, Chi Chen teamed up with the inspector, and the two of them cheated the general while hunting, and when they returned to Xining, Chi Chen received news from the bottom staff, and all the evidence had been collected by Luo Qi Now, Chi Chen divided the things into three parts, one part was sent to the capital quickly, one part was kept for himself, and one part was given to the inspector.
Now the procurator has already grasped the evidence, and is only waiting for the final decision of the Holy Spirit.He was also worried that people going to the capital would be stopped on the road, so he ordered his secret guards to deliver the letter, while he stayed in Xining.
Over the years, Chi Chen has gathered more than half of the troops in Nian Yao's hands, and now he has caught the turtle in his hands, so he has more time to think about his affairs with Jia Huan.The arrival of Xia Yun's and others directly let him know that Jia Huan is not married, but the problem is that even if there is no marriage now, there will be in the future.He has not seen each other with Jia Huan for nearly five years. He originally thought that he would become more and more indifferent, but in the end he missed it more and more.
After Chi Chen finished writing the last booklet, put down the pen, reached out and rubbed his forehead, waited for the pen and ink on the booklet to dry, then closed the booklet and handed it to the messenger who was waiting at the side.
Seeing Chi Chen reaching out his hand, the messenger knelt down and took it with both hands.
Chi Chen lowered his eyes and looked at him: "This king has already written everything clearly, you can send it right away."
The messenger responded, and walked out the door backwards. Chi Chen watched the messenger go away, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Prepare the horse, go to brother's place."
Dongzang hurriedly said: "It's better to change to a carriage, it's more stable."
"No, it's faster for me to go by myself." Chi Chen stood up, went into the back room and changed into his riding clothes.He was originally tall and tall, but now he is nineteen, not to mention tall, because he has been in the top position for a long time, he only has the intimidation of his body, and the people who serve him on weekdays and can see Chi Chen every day feel the pressure doubled, let alone others, Dongzang didn't dare to say it again after mentioning it once. He just ordered people to prepare horses while delivering a letter to Xia Yun.
When Chi Chen went out, his 24 hidden guards had already packed up, and everyone was wearing the same clothes as Chi Chen, waiting for Chi Chen to get on the horse, and they also got on the horse and followed behind the master.
Dudu's Mansion is not far from Jia Huan's courtyard, and it was only an hour's journey before and after. When Chi Chen arrived at the place, the gate of the courtyard opened, and everyone inside greeted them one after another, kneeling on the ground. It was the autumn harvest, and seeing Chi Chen hurried forward: "My son is well."
"Where's Brother?" Chi Chen took a look and asked.
"The young master is eating." It was dinner time, Chi Chen nodded and stepped forward.
Everyone in Jia Huan's yard got the news that Chi Chen was coming, so they were not nervous when they saw the prince, but Jia Huan himself didn't know, he was picking up rice, and when he looked up and was about to pick up vegetables, he saw Chi Chen, and for a moment Between actually stunned.
Everyone stepped forward one after another and waited for Chi Chen to be seated. In addition, a pair of bowls and chopsticks were added, and a bowl full of rice was delivered to Chi Chen, and then they all backed out.
Jia Huan watched depressedly as Chi Chen was eating instead of customers, but no matter how depressed he was, he still wanted to eat, so he lowered his head and took a couple of bites to finally finish eating the rice in the bowl, throwing away the bowl and chopsticks and washing his face, Then, into the bedroom.
Chi Chen ate his meal slowly, as if the cabbage tofu in front of him was the delicacies of mountains and seas, he actually laughed out loud while eating, waiting for Jia Huan to take a bath and return to his bed, but saw Chi Chen lying in his clothes In my own bed.
So depressed, he pushed forward: "You are dirty, how can you lie down."
"I'm too lazy to move." Chi Chen looked at Jia Huan shamelessly, no matter how he pushed him, he just didn't move.
Jia Huan stepped forward and knocked twice bitterly, and then turned around to leave. Anyway, if you don't leave, then I will go. But before he could take a step, he was grabbed by someone and hugged him .
It turned out that Chi Chen got up and grabbed Jia Huan and hugged him. At this time, I haven't heard of anyone with stronger hands than Chi Chen, let alone Jia Huan's small arms and legs. , he struggled for a long while to no avail, so he pushed Chi Chen's face with one hand, twisting non-stop.
"Even if you become a live fish, don't expect to jump out of my arms. Let me hold you for a while obediently. We haven't seen each other for several years. You must let me get close," Chi Chen said calmly. , I don't feel that I said anything wrong.
"What kind of relationship do we have? I haven't heard of it. Wouldn't it be better to forget each other than to forget each other? It's enough to know that you and I are still alive. What are we getting close to? We lived together in the same place for three years. You just found out today." ?" Jia Huan's mouth was sharp, and he directly blocked Chi Chen's mouth.
"Before I was afraid that someone would jump over the wall in a hurry and take you under the knife. Then I would have to die to show you, but now he has nothing to hope for, so I just came to see you, how can you misunderstand me. "Chi Chen was very serious. Hearing Jia Huan's words, he felt that his younger brother was really divided this time, so he quickly explained.
"You are a majestic son of the Southern Prince, who doesn't know that you are a celebrity in front of the sage, let alone other things, you may be able to get promoted to a noble in the future, I am just a little bastard, I really can't afford it. "Jia Huan turned his head and snorted very manly, a man can't be subdued if he is mighty, and he can't be lewd if he is rich, isn't it!"
"Isn't it okay for me to cuddle you? I care about you, I'm pampering you, brother, don't be angry, we were friends when we were young, didn't I feel that you didn't discuss it with me at that time, and just went alone I jumped into the fire pit, and I also told someone to tell you that there would be no major incidents, but you still left, I thought you didn't believe me." Chi Chen sighed, and turned Jia Huan's head away .
When Jia Huan heard it, he felt very strange and blinked: "I haven't heard of it, who did you ask to bring me the message?"
Chi Chen was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly thought of Mu Mu, and secretly made another note to the other party in his heart: "Maybe someone forgot, hey, no wonder you left in such a hurry, in this way, we had misunderstood before, we It is even more necessary to reconcile now, the misunderstanding is resolved, everyone is happy!" This is better, so as to save the two of them from really hurting their feelings.
Jia Huan rubbed his nose, never admitting that he really couldn't talk to the other party, and tried to move his body, but couldn't move, so he could only surrender first: "The matter between us, we will talk about it later, you will talk about it first." Let me go, I've been busy all day today, and I'm really tired and flustered."
Chi Chen nodded, smiled and stuffed Jia Huan into his inner quilt: "Go to bed first, I'll go wash up, I'll be back later." He jumped up and ordered someone to prepare hot water.
Jia Huan watched Chi Chen run out, and lay back on the bed with his limbs stretched weakly. He buried his face in the quilt depressed and wiped it, feeling a little bored, so he got out of the quilt, and then went deep again. Taking a deep breath, he shook his head helplessly. In the morning, he still felt that life was meaningless, but in the end, he gave himself such a big surprise at night, but he didn't know why. When he saw Chi Chen, he felt it from the bottom of his heart. Happy, as if he is not the only one in this world, maybe because Chi Chen has been taking care of himself before, relying on him several times to live a stable life.
In fact, he has no conscience, Jia Huan subconsciously reflected on himself, because of his small self-esteem, the result is that a friend of more than ten years now wants to please him, and if others may think they are poor, then I am hating the rich, I shouldn't, after all, Chi Chen had a harder life than himself before he was confirmed as the son.
People are actually like this, when you feel that a person is bad, you will feel that the other person is getting worse and worse, but one day you suddenly feel that he seems to be quite good, and then his same advantages are slowly revealed to you. In this way, all other bad things are covered up. This is the one-sidedness of human beings.The closer the person is, the more demanding the other party is. No matter what the other party has done before, as long as there is something bad, it will be completely cut off.
Chi Chen came back soon, with some wet hair. Although it was dried, it still carried a trace of moisture. Jia Huan was about to order someone to send two charcoal basins, but someone knocked lightly outside. The door, then pushed open the door and walked in, put the charcoal basin in a corner of the room, and stepped back gently.
Can I still live in a good place? Whose house is it? Jia Huan thought gloomily. He lost all thoughts of chatting with Chi Chen at first, so he turned around and closed his eyes. Chi Chen looked at Jia Huan as if he really If you want to sleep, you will obediently climb onto the bed, lie on the outside, close to Jia Huan, pick up a silver horn and flick it out, directly brushing the top of the candle, flicking out the flame, and the room is dark in an instant .
As soon as the candle was extinguished and the room got dark, he felt very quiet. Jia Huan subconsciously pricked up his ears, only to hear the sound of Chi Chen covering the quilt behind him, and the heat on his body was pulled by the quilt. It was a little cold for a moment, and he was about to say something, but the people behind him all came over, it was hot, with a lingering fragrance.
"Brother, let me sleep with you in my arms, or I won't hit you when I move at night." Chi Chen carefully whispered in Jia Huan's ear. This is the habit of the two of them since they were young. The things in his arms will not be attacked, but in that case, unless Chi Chen wakes up and lets go, it is absolutely impossible for Jia Huan in his arms to come out by himself.
Chi Chen carefully stretched out his arms to hug Jia Huan, and felt that the other party didn't refuse, so he moved closer contentedly, smelling a certain breath from Jia Huan with the tip of his nose, and slowly fell asleep.
A good night's sleep, even Jia Huan did not expect that two people who haven't shared the same bed for a long time can sleep so well in the same bed for the first time, and they have not dreamed, which is very rare for Jia Huan Yes, since he came to the northwest and participated in several wars, bloody dreams have become a habit for him. He knows that this is because he belongs to the modern society, and he respects life too much in a peaceful world. Can't get used to war.
This is very bad, but there is no solution. It seems that many people will feel that they are not soft-hearted after being fooled, but it will still be the same next time. For a family member who is excellent, works hard, and lives a harmonious life, he is a different existence who is unwilling to go to school and hangs out on the street every day, but despite this, the kindness portrayed in Asan's gene is still well passed down .
When he got up in the morning, Chi Chen was no longer there. Jia Huan thought he had returned to his mansion, but he waited until he finished washing and left the room to find that Chi Chen, who was thinly armed, was practicing martial arts in his garden. He was bigger than the others, so when he made moves, he was very aggressive, and the few leaves he accidentally touched were all shattered into slag with one touch.
There is a friend whose strength is beyond the charts, and his personal safety really needs to be considered many times. Jia Huan felt his eyelids twitch. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold it down, and then stood quietly with his eyes closed for a while.
Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well yesterday, Jia Huan murmured and thought, and then consciously rubbed with another hand, pressing the acupuncture points on the back of her neck.It's a little sour, maybe it was because I was sick when I went to bed yesterday.
When he was thinking like this, he heard Chi Chen call out to himself, he opened his eyes and looked over, Chi Chen closed his fist, stood beside Mu Zhen waiting for him, waited for him to wipe off his sweat, and stood in front of Jia Huan : "I ordered someone to make some snacks and put them in the pavilion. Anyway, the weather is fine, so go eat some first."
The pavilion he mentioned was behind the two of them, surrounded by a large number of peach trees, but now only the branches remained.
Jia Huan looked at Chi Chen and said, "What about you?"
Chi Chen rubbed Jia Huan's head with a smile. He was a head taller than Jia Huan, with a look of relief on his face, as if he was moved by Jia Huan's thought of himself: "You eat first, I'll wipe off your sweat, and change your clothes." Clothes coming right away."
Jia Huan nodded, and he went to the pavilion under the leadership of Chun Geng. Chun Geng was busy bringing him several kinds of hot food, and then poured hot soup on it.Feeling hungry, Jia Huan picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, then ate with the hot soup in the bowl, he just swallowed a steamed stuffed bun, saw Chi Chen came back with a change of clothes, The originally loose hair was tidied up, and there was a lot of food on the table, but it disappeared at an alarming speed the moment Chi Chen started eating.
Jia Huan finished the two buns in his hand, and then finished the hot soup in the bowl. The breakfast on the table that could have been eaten by five or six people had disappeared into Chi Chen's godlike appetite. As soon as the hot water came up, Jia Huan stretched out his hand to wash it, then took a dry cloth aside and wiped it.
"When are you going back?" After eating, Jia Huan started to chase people away.
Chi Chen didn't care: "I don't need to go back recently, there's nothing going on outside, now I'm waiting for the Holy Majesty's order, anyway, I'm fine, so I'll come to accompany you for a while, a few days ago someone just sent a message, I heard that you My aunt is pregnant, I think you are going to be an older brother."
This news was shocking to Jia Huan, but when he thought of himself, he began to worry that this new brother or sister would suffer. Embarrassed.
"Then Jia Baoyu is now going to take part in the scientific examination in two years' time, and the saint has given permission on the Internet. If you want to go back, I will say hello to someone. But now that you are a thousand households, if you take the Wenju, I'm afraid you will be punished by them." Look down on it." Chi Chen looked at Jia Huan seriously, in the court hall, civil and military are very separated, although occasionally there are civil servants who do the work of military generals, but I have never heard of military generals who can do the work of civil servants, although Jia Huan's They all know their abilities, but in the eyes of those civil servants, the feats made on the battlefield today are a kind of stain.
There are too many unsatisfactory things in life, and it is better not to plan too much in life. Jia Huan looked at Chi Chen talking about this and that, but he didn't intervene. He just vaguely felt something in his heart, and it just passed by. There was no trace. After he rejected Chi Chen, he just asked the military officer when he would return to Beijing to report on his duties. Considering that he didn't go last time, and it will take another two years for the next time, his younger brother should be able to call him brother by then. .
Chi Chen was talking, but found that Jia Huan seemed to be in a trance, he stretched out his hand and shook in front of Jia Huan: "Brother, what are you thinking?"
Jia Huan came back to his senses, let out an ah, looked down at his fingertips, raised his head and replied, "I'm just thinking, I don't know if it's the younger brother or the younger sister this time, if it's the younger brother, I hope to live longer."
"There is no one else in your house now. If there is no accident, you should be able to live for a long time." Those who didn't live long before were basically accidents. Jia Huan naturally understood what Chi Chen didn't say, but suddenly remembered Chi Chen's identity and seemed to follow him. I was also similar, so I asked how Nan Wang was doing now.
"It was fine before I came here, but he has always been willing to die. If His Majesty is more merciful, I think I can see you again in the future." He didn't care about his father, any feelings came from getting along.
Jia Huan tilted his head and thought for a while, then carefully asked: "Then your mother, did you find out?"
Chi Chen was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and then wondered whether he really wanted to tell Jia Huan, and finally gave up and sighed: "I already know who my mother is, she...is a very capable mother. The man, um, is so capable, he gave birth to three half-brothers for me, and it is said that one of them will come after a while, so I will ask you to meet with me when the time comes."
"Hey, isn't your biological mother dead?" It was so strange.
"Not only alive, but also very happy." Chi Chen felt that coming to Xining was a surprise given to him by the Holy One.It's just that the surprise was overdone and turned into fright.
Chi Chen wanted to continue chatting with Jia Huan, but unfortunately he still had some things to do, so he stood up helplessly and patted his sleeve, then looked at Jia Huan and said, "I'll go first, you'd better not go out recently, You also know that it is not peaceful now, and if there are any major changes, you will go back to Beijing with Chun Geng and the others."
Jia Huan didn't think the general would do anything, since he came into contact with Chen Liu, he had some insights: "Don't worry, don't you often say that heroes are short-tempered and children love each other? I don't think he will do anything, at most It’s all about exchanging the last bit of capital in your hands for the safety of some people.”
Chi Chen turned his head to look at Jia Huan subconsciously, and asked in a low voice, "What do you know?"
Jia Huan shook his head: "Not much, I just heard that one of his concubines should be pregnant. It seems that the general cares about it." His news came from Chen Liu, as for Chen Liu, he missed it I don't know, "This arm can't twist my thigh if I want to. It's fine if the sage is not wise, but that one is very hardworking. If Nian Yao only does some things behind his back, no one else has any objections." It’s okay, but now before Sheng went to the case, he was always suing him, Xining is too sensitive, if he keeps collaborating with the enemy and traitorously, the border will be in danger.” Chi Chen sighed, a general will make it to the end, or Play it safe, hand over military power early, or wait for the one above to clean you up.
Chi Chen chatted with Jia Huan for a while, then left, saying that he had something important to do, but in fact he just had a banquet in the General's Mansion, and this was probably the last gathering, so he didn't want to bring more people. He had to go to pick up the envoy, so he had to take a large group of people to the gate of the general's mansion with all-round protection, and saw Nian Yao, who hadn't seen him for a long time, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Chi Chen paid his respects, and called out his son Qiansui.
Chi Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How can you be worthy of the great general's gift? Don't make it difficult for me." He didn't smile, his face was so indifferent that he didn't show any expression, he just casually stretched out his hand to hold it up Nian Yao.
Nian Yao clasped his hands into his fists and lowered his head, only to find that the opponent's palm was under his own, and he lifted it lightly. He tried his best but was still forced to stand up. It can be seen from this support that he glanced at the guards fighting in two rows outside the door. The carriage behind the guards slowly stopped. A person came down, wearing a third-rank official uniform, with beads hanging around his neck, and a red cap on his head. Seeing Nian Yao, he walked slowly to his side, and greeted Nian Yao with his hands.
"Brother Li is in good shape, don't move too much, why do you have to salute between us." He said, but he didn't reach out to stop him, but the servant next to Li Shangwei had already stopped his master, so the salute was just now. After clasping his fists together, he didn't see much after that. Nian Yao snorted in his stomach, but didn't bring it out on his face. He only invited two people into the mansion.
Chi Chen stepped out and walked in front, Nian Yao walked behind, and Li Shangwei came next, and the guards who followed everyone entered the yard together, waiting for the three of them to sit in the lobby, and stood guard at the door.
Nian Yao glanced at the people at the door, then ordered people to serve food, and poured wine for himself while holding a wine glass: "If Brother Li hadn't found out early that day, we would all have died there, this life-saving grace, I really want to offer a toast." Dozens of slender women suddenly came in outside, carrying pots of delicacies, carefully placed on the table, Li Shangwei took a look at Nian Yao's toast, and also Picking up the wine glass, he took a sip, and while drinking, he heard the sound of sluggishness in his ears.
Second Sister Yang’s family is very poor, to what extent, even the holidays can’t be solved. Although the three sisters can work in the fields like men, their family is still very poor. Unlike most people in Zengjia Village, the Yang family is actually a foreigner. Yes, it's just that their grandparents have been multiplied in the village for three generations. To the head of the village, this family is actually his own. There are very few people with the surname Yang in the village, and there are more in the generation of the second sister Yang's father, but I don't know. Somehow they all moved out one day, and only Second Sister Yang's father and family were left.
The second sister's family has only one younger brother, but he suffered a lot because of this younger brother. He was born weak, and his parents cared about his younger brother. Naturally, he paid less attention to the three sisters. He was just working hard to earn money. That's all.
Second Sister Yang’s marriage was half-sold and half-gifted, and Zeng Baijia’s identity was not mentioned when proposing the marriage before. Although most of the families with daughters in the village now regret it, but Second Sister Yang and Zeng Baijia have already cooked rice. not coming.
Second Sister Yang had heard that Zeng Baijia had a yard in the city, but how could she know that it would be such a luxury, or that she was lucky? Thinking about it this way, she found people kneeling on the ground in the yard, facing the people in the yard, Zeng Baijia didn't say much, just pointed to the manager and showed it to Second Sister Yang, and Second Sister Yang was a little more restrained looking at people.
Zeng Baijia sat on the chair in the lobby by himself, watched Second Sister Yang sit on the other side, and then turned to the main pipe below: "You go and order someone to come over and see the mistress, and I will leave all the affairs in this yard to her in the future." gone."
Second Sister Yang blushed a little when she heard what Zeng Baijia said, and she straightened her back even more. She subconsciously pinched her hands, and felt that this movement seemed not generous, and cautiously placed her hands on her knees. Put them side by side.
The main pipe standing on the side said, "I told them to wait a long time ago. I just waited for the uncle and wife to come, so I came to say hello." He said, and the people outside lined up in two lines and filed in.
Second Sister Yang looked at the slim women on her left, wearing all kinds of jackets. Although they all bowed their heads, they didn't see the fair faces of each other. She pulled her clothes unconsciously, feeling a little inferior.Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Zeng Baijia whispering to her: "You just came here, and tomorrow you will order someone to invite the sewing lady to make some clothes. After a while, you will have a banquet with friends at home. If you have a female family member, please be enthusiastic." welcome."
Although his voice was soft, the people below could hear him. The commotion below stopped suddenly. Zeng Baijia naturally knew what everyone was thinking. It's clear to himself, but he thought that these things are his wife's affairs. It's not good to participate too much, so he didn't do anything else. He just ordered the housekeeper to take Second Sister Yang to the warehouse to check his assets. If there is an accident, she will be the one who will be with her for the rest of her life.
On the second day after arriving in the city, Zeng Baijia excitedly ran to Jia Huan's mansion to greet him. As a result, the empty courtyard completely changed, not to mention the three or four spirited guards standing at the door, who entered the door. Seeing the flowery garden, he still hadn't regained his senses, and was dazed by the corridor with nine twists and eighteen bends, until he arrived at the door of what seemed to be a study room, and saw a handsome man cupping his hands towards him.
Zeng Baijia hurriedly bent down and returned a salute.
"You are Zeng Baijia, Brother Zeng, right? Next is Chun Geng, who is serving by the young master's side. He just came from the capital. I will ask Brother Zeng to take care of you in the future." Chun Geng didn't have a smile on his face, but he said that His words carried a natural gentleness.
Zeng Baijia had never heard Jia Huan mention his previous life in the capital, so he had no idea about Chun Geng, so he smiled at him, and waited for the other party to open the door before entering to see Jia Huan.
Not only the scenery outside has changed a lot, but Jia Huan himself has also changed a lot. Zeng Baijia felt that he was a little dazzled. On the jacket, there are many complicated dark patterns embroidered on it, which always makes me feel a little dazzled.
"Third brother..." Zeng Baijia felt that his mood was very complicated. He had never felt that the other party was so far away from him, just like when he was still in the recruit camp.There seems to have always been a gap between them, and the relationship between themselves and each other has always been that of the rescuer and the rescued.
"You're here, sit down." Jia Huan didn't think too much about it. Before Zeng Baijia came, he was trying to practice his handwriting. Age and experience seemed to be very important things.When I just started to practice calligraphy, it was just a mechanical imitation, but this time I looked at it again, but found the beauty in it.He put the brush in his hand aside, got up and sat next to Zeng Baijia, and ordered tea to be served.
Zeng Baijia said embarrassingly: "I just came back yesterday, and today I came to see Third Brother." After he finished speaking, with a trace of doubt on his face, he asked the question in his heart, "It's just people from Third Brother's house, but There are a lot of faces I haven't seen before."
Jia Huan thought for a while, and said, "It's the person who served in my original mansion. He only came around Chinese New Year. It's normal that you haven't seen him before."
"Could it be that the third brother's mansion wants the third brother to go back?" When Zeng Baijia heard that he was in the capital, he immediately fell in love.
"I didn't mention it." Jia Huan didn't think about this part at first, but when Zeng Baijia asked him, he thought about it a little bit, and said with a slight frown: "Father in the house is so busy." He probably won't have time to think about it. What's more, their Jia family has just stabilized now, so it is natural to do less and make less mistakes.
Zeng Baijia didn't say anything, just looked around and found no one else, carefully found a letter from his arms, and handed it to Jia Huan: "I don't know why General Peng sent the letter to In my hometown, it's just that the roll call is for the third brother."
Jia Huan was a little strange, so he reached out to take it, and looked carefully, and found that it was written by Peng Lai, and it also said that Zeng Sanqian had signed it.I used Zeng San, this letter is probably not as simple as I thought.He touched the envelope, the inside should be paper, carefully cut the envelope open, inside was actually an envelope with the same letter from Zeng San as the outside, with a thin piece of paper inside, Jia Huan took a look, Having realized something in my heart, I ignored the letter inside and sealed it with wax.
Carefully pressed the envelope under the rice paper, and sent Zeng Baijia out.After seeing Zeng Baijia riding away on horseback, he called for Chun Geng.
Chun Geng was packing up his things, but when he heard Jia Huan calling him, he knew something was up.
"I have something in the study, you tell people to watch it, if someone wants to take it, don't stop it, just follow him, don't lose it." Jia Huan touched his forehead, then looked at the sky, "The weather is fine , I'll go out for a while."
"Will you go with me, little one?" Chun Geng asked someone to prepare the carriage, and turned to ask Jia Huan, but Jia Huan didn't seem to hear him. He just waited for the carriage to come by the corner gate, and the gray carriage curtain fluttered in the wind. It was Rongda who drove the carriage.
Seeing Jia Huan jumping down from the carriage, Rong Da eagerly said to Jia Huan, "Where is the young master going? Just tell me, I promise to take the shortest route. Besides, I am most familiar with the road in Xining." Yes." When he said this, he was very proud, and his face was unconsciously brought out, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chun Geng looking at him with a half-smile, and unconsciously his back shivered, and he let out a sneer.
Jia Huan had something on his mind, so he didn't say much, just got into the carriage and let Rongda go first.
Rong Da drove the carriage and left the gate. Seeing Jia Huan leaving, Chun Geng turned around to carry out Jia Huan's orders. He was originally cautious, so he went to the study to watch.
The people in Jia Huan's yard are not complicated, except for the two rough envoys I found in Xining before, there is only the nanny who came with Shi Xiangyun, and now she only works in her own yard, and the others are almost all from the city. If there is a problem with the people brought here, then it means that the matter this time has something to do with the nobles in Kyoto.
Chun Geng was originally cultivated in Nanwang Shizi's mansion. In his eyes, apart from the Holy One, there are not many others.
Not long after Jia Huan went out, he saw someone sneaking in front of the study door. Chun Geng was originally squatting on the eaves.He was sharpening the knife in his hand boredly, but when he saw the person coming, his eyes widened unconsciously.
It was her, I didn't expect it, Chun Geng unconsciously stroked the knife in his hand along the edge.The person who came here was the nanny who followed Shi Xiangyun back then. She was already over 50 years old, and she didn’t need to do anything on weekdays. She just told the rules of the maids, and occasionally went to Shi Xiangyun’s place to say hello. Since he had already returned to the capital, Shi Xiangyun should naturally go with him.
Chun Geng remembered that the Zhen family hadn't sold their house in Xining, and remembered that a while ago someone reported that Mammy had found someone to help her nephew with a shopping job.
With a plan in his mind, he watched the nanny look around before entering the study, and sneaked out again after a while, closing the door carefully.
As the nanny walked outside impatiently, she touched her chest subconsciously, but when she saw someone, she quickly took her hand away.Chun Geng watched the other party greet several people along the way, his expression unchanged, so he gave a little praise from the bottom of his heart, and then saw the nanny walking along a secluded path, and vaguely saw a strange man at the door. But he was wearing the clothes of a servant in the house.
Not to mention that Chun Geng rarely did his own job and followed people all the way. Jia Huan's Rongda drove a carriage around the entire town several times, but the routes were different, and he didn't let others know their final destination. , Jia Huan bought a lot of things along the way, including several items for food alone.Among them, I ate a bowl of wontons while passing by the street in front of the General's Mansion.
Sure enough, the wonton stall that had disappeared had been set up again, but no information was given to him now.After the old man only dipped in cold water and wrote the words "wait on the table", he wiped off the water stain with a rag while saying that the guest should use it slowly.
After Jia Huan finished drinking the wontons, he put the copper plate on the ground, and then ordered Rong Da to drive back to the outskirts of the city.
It only took one morning to go back and forth, and it happened to be lunch time when we arrived at the yard. When the servants saw Jia Huan coming back, they got up and opened the door to say hello.
Jia Huan handed Xia Yun the jacket he was wearing, and asked, "Where is Chungeng?"
Xia Yun replied in a low voice: "I went to do what the young master ordered, and I haven't come back yet."
"Let him come to see me first when he comes back." Jia Huan nodded, then looked at Xia Yun suddenly and said, "The three of you are here, why don't you see Dongzang?"
"Dongzang is serving by Shizi's side now. If the young master misses it, it's better to die at the son's mansion." Xia Yun has always known more news than Chun Geng, and he has never concealed his connection with Shizi. For Jia Huan , Chun Geng and others represent not only Chi Chen's care, but also Chi Chen's eyes and ears.
"Isn't there Mu Mu at Chi Chen's place? I remember that Master and the others knew each other." Jia Huan's memory is not bad, and he vaguely remembered that it was a boy who was about his own age, but he seemed a little arrogant.
"Those little ones don't know. I just heard that he annoyed the prince, and he hasn't appeared in the prince's mansion now." The word annoyed is probably the most accurate, but I heard that it seems to have something to do with my young master, but other things Xia Yun couldn’t find out about it, because Mu Kun specifically told him that if he sees Mu Mu in the future, he needs to be more careful, and he can’t tell more about the young master, so that he can learn, not to mention that he had been in contact with the Shizi’s mansion before. He followed Mu Mu, and now he changed people suddenly, and the other party was replaced by Dongzang, so he was naturally more comfortable than Mu Mu.
Jia Huan didn't know the specific situation, but since Xia Yun said so, he just listened to it. He was a little worried about the situation of Jiang Yan and others, so he waited for Chun Geng in the study after lunch. information.
Not to mention here, Chi Chen teamed up with the inspector, and the two of them cheated the general while hunting, and when they returned to Xining, Chi Chen received news from the bottom staff, and all the evidence had been collected by Luo Qi Now, Chi Chen divided the things into three parts, one part was sent to the capital quickly, one part was kept for himself, and one part was given to the inspector.
Now the procurator has already grasped the evidence, and is only waiting for the final decision of the Holy Spirit.He was also worried that people going to the capital would be stopped on the road, so he ordered his secret guards to deliver the letter, while he stayed in Xining.
Over the years, Chi Chen has gathered more than half of the troops in Nian Yao's hands, and now he has caught the turtle in his hands, so he has more time to think about his affairs with Jia Huan.The arrival of Xia Yun's and others directly let him know that Jia Huan is not married, but the problem is that even if there is no marriage now, there will be in the future.He has not seen each other with Jia Huan for nearly five years. He originally thought that he would become more and more indifferent, but in the end he missed it more and more.
After Chi Chen finished writing the last booklet, put down the pen, reached out and rubbed his forehead, waited for the pen and ink on the booklet to dry, then closed the booklet and handed it to the messenger who was waiting at the side.
Seeing Chi Chen reaching out his hand, the messenger knelt down and took it with both hands.
Chi Chen lowered his eyes and looked at him: "This king has already written everything clearly, you can send it right away."
The messenger responded, and walked out the door backwards. Chi Chen watched the messenger go away, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Prepare the horse, go to brother's place."
Dongzang hurriedly said: "It's better to change to a carriage, it's more stable."
"No, it's faster for me to go by myself." Chi Chen stood up, went into the back room and changed into his riding clothes.He was originally tall and tall, but now he is nineteen, not to mention tall, because he has been in the top position for a long time, he only has the intimidation of his body, and the people who serve him on weekdays and can see Chi Chen every day feel the pressure doubled, let alone others, Dongzang didn't dare to say it again after mentioning it once. He just ordered people to prepare horses while delivering a letter to Xia Yun.
When Chi Chen went out, his 24 hidden guards had already packed up, and everyone was wearing the same clothes as Chi Chen, waiting for Chi Chen to get on the horse, and they also got on the horse and followed behind the master.
Dudu's Mansion is not far from Jia Huan's courtyard, and it was only an hour's journey before and after. When Chi Chen arrived at the place, the gate of the courtyard opened, and everyone inside greeted them one after another, kneeling on the ground. It was the autumn harvest, and seeing Chi Chen hurried forward: "My son is well."
"Where's Brother?" Chi Chen took a look and asked.
"The young master is eating." It was dinner time, Chi Chen nodded and stepped forward.
Everyone in Jia Huan's yard got the news that Chi Chen was coming, so they were not nervous when they saw the prince, but Jia Huan himself didn't know, he was picking up rice, and when he looked up and was about to pick up vegetables, he saw Chi Chen, and for a moment Between actually stunned.
Everyone stepped forward one after another and waited for Chi Chen to be seated. In addition, a pair of bowls and chopsticks were added, and a bowl full of rice was delivered to Chi Chen, and then they all backed out.
Jia Huan watched depressedly as Chi Chen was eating instead of customers, but no matter how depressed he was, he still wanted to eat, so he lowered his head and took a couple of bites to finally finish eating the rice in the bowl, throwing away the bowl and chopsticks and washing his face, Then, into the bedroom.
Chi Chen ate his meal slowly, as if the cabbage tofu in front of him was the delicacies of mountains and seas, he actually laughed out loud while eating, waiting for Jia Huan to take a bath and return to his bed, but saw Chi Chen lying in his clothes In my own bed.
So depressed, he pushed forward: "You are dirty, how can you lie down."
"I'm too lazy to move." Chi Chen looked at Jia Huan shamelessly, no matter how he pushed him, he just didn't move.
Jia Huan stepped forward and knocked twice bitterly, and then turned around to leave. Anyway, if you don't leave, then I will go. But before he could take a step, he was grabbed by someone and hugged him .
It turned out that Chi Chen got up and grabbed Jia Huan and hugged him. At this time, I haven't heard of anyone with stronger hands than Chi Chen, let alone Jia Huan's small arms and legs. , he struggled for a long while to no avail, so he pushed Chi Chen's face with one hand, twisting non-stop.
"Even if you become a live fish, don't expect to jump out of my arms. Let me hold you for a while obediently. We haven't seen each other for several years. You must let me get close," Chi Chen said calmly. , I don't feel that I said anything wrong.
"What kind of relationship do we have? I haven't heard of it. Wouldn't it be better to forget each other than to forget each other? It's enough to know that you and I are still alive. What are we getting close to? We lived together in the same place for three years. You just found out today." ?" Jia Huan's mouth was sharp, and he directly blocked Chi Chen's mouth.
"Before I was afraid that someone would jump over the wall in a hurry and take you under the knife. Then I would have to die to show you, but now he has nothing to hope for, so I just came to see you, how can you misunderstand me. "Chi Chen was very serious. Hearing Jia Huan's words, he felt that his younger brother was really divided this time, so he quickly explained.
"You are a majestic son of the Southern Prince, who doesn't know that you are a celebrity in front of the sage, let alone other things, you may be able to get promoted to a noble in the future, I am just a little bastard, I really can't afford it. "Jia Huan turned his head and snorted very manly, a man can't be subdued if he is mighty, and he can't be lewd if he is rich, isn't it!"
"Isn't it okay for me to cuddle you? I care about you, I'm pampering you, brother, don't be angry, we were friends when we were young, didn't I feel that you didn't discuss it with me at that time, and just went alone I jumped into the fire pit, and I also told someone to tell you that there would be no major incidents, but you still left, I thought you didn't believe me." Chi Chen sighed, and turned Jia Huan's head away .
When Jia Huan heard it, he felt very strange and blinked: "I haven't heard of it, who did you ask to bring me the message?"
Chi Chen was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly thought of Mu Mu, and secretly made another note to the other party in his heart: "Maybe someone forgot, hey, no wonder you left in such a hurry, in this way, we had misunderstood before, we It is even more necessary to reconcile now, the misunderstanding is resolved, everyone is happy!" This is better, so as to save the two of them from really hurting their feelings.
Jia Huan rubbed his nose, never admitting that he really couldn't talk to the other party, and tried to move his body, but couldn't move, so he could only surrender first: "The matter between us, we will talk about it later, you will talk about it first." Let me go, I've been busy all day today, and I'm really tired and flustered."
Chi Chen nodded, smiled and stuffed Jia Huan into his inner quilt: "Go to bed first, I'll go wash up, I'll be back later." He jumped up and ordered someone to prepare hot water.
Jia Huan watched Chi Chen run out, and lay back on the bed with his limbs stretched weakly. He buried his face in the quilt depressed and wiped it, feeling a little bored, so he got out of the quilt, and then went deep again. Taking a deep breath, he shook his head helplessly. In the morning, he still felt that life was meaningless, but in the end, he gave himself such a big surprise at night, but he didn't know why. When he saw Chi Chen, he felt it from the bottom of his heart. Happy, as if he is not the only one in this world, maybe because Chi Chen has been taking care of himself before, relying on him several times to live a stable life.
In fact, he has no conscience, Jia Huan subconsciously reflected on himself, because of his small self-esteem, the result is that a friend of more than ten years now wants to please him, and if others may think they are poor, then I am hating the rich, I shouldn't, after all, Chi Chen had a harder life than himself before he was confirmed as the son.
People are actually like this, when you feel that a person is bad, you will feel that the other person is getting worse and worse, but one day you suddenly feel that he seems to be quite good, and then his same advantages are slowly revealed to you. In this way, all other bad things are covered up. This is the one-sidedness of human beings.The closer the person is, the more demanding the other party is. No matter what the other party has done before, as long as there is something bad, it will be completely cut off.
Chi Chen came back soon, with some wet hair. Although it was dried, it still carried a trace of moisture. Jia Huan was about to order someone to send two charcoal basins, but someone knocked lightly outside. The door, then pushed open the door and walked in, put the charcoal basin in a corner of the room, and stepped back gently.
Can I still live in a good place? Whose house is it? Jia Huan thought gloomily. He lost all thoughts of chatting with Chi Chen at first, so he turned around and closed his eyes. Chi Chen looked at Jia Huan as if he really If you want to sleep, you will obediently climb onto the bed, lie on the outside, close to Jia Huan, pick up a silver horn and flick it out, directly brushing the top of the candle, flicking out the flame, and the room is dark in an instant .
As soon as the candle was extinguished and the room got dark, he felt very quiet. Jia Huan subconsciously pricked up his ears, only to hear the sound of Chi Chen covering the quilt behind him, and the heat on his body was pulled by the quilt. It was a little cold for a moment, and he was about to say something, but the people behind him all came over, it was hot, with a lingering fragrance.
"Brother, let me sleep with you in my arms, or I won't hit you when I move at night." Chi Chen carefully whispered in Jia Huan's ear. This is the habit of the two of them since they were young. The things in his arms will not be attacked, but in that case, unless Chi Chen wakes up and lets go, it is absolutely impossible for Jia Huan in his arms to come out by himself.
Chi Chen carefully stretched out his arms to hug Jia Huan, and felt that the other party didn't refuse, so he moved closer contentedly, smelling a certain breath from Jia Huan with the tip of his nose, and slowly fell asleep.
A good night's sleep, even Jia Huan did not expect that two people who haven't shared the same bed for a long time can sleep so well in the same bed for the first time, and they have not dreamed, which is very rare for Jia Huan Yes, since he came to the northwest and participated in several wars, bloody dreams have become a habit for him. He knows that this is because he belongs to the modern society, and he respects life too much in a peaceful world. Can't get used to war.
This is very bad, but there is no solution. It seems that many people will feel that they are not soft-hearted after being fooled, but it will still be the same next time. For a family member who is excellent, works hard, and lives a harmonious life, he is a different existence who is unwilling to go to school and hangs out on the street every day, but despite this, the kindness portrayed in Asan's gene is still well passed down .
When he got up in the morning, Chi Chen was no longer there. Jia Huan thought he had returned to his mansion, but he waited until he finished washing and left the room to find that Chi Chen, who was thinly armed, was practicing martial arts in his garden. He was bigger than the others, so when he made moves, he was very aggressive, and the few leaves he accidentally touched were all shattered into slag with one touch.
There is a friend whose strength is beyond the charts, and his personal safety really needs to be considered many times. Jia Huan felt his eyelids twitch. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold it down, and then stood quietly with his eyes closed for a while.
Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well yesterday, Jia Huan murmured and thought, and then consciously rubbed with another hand, pressing the acupuncture points on the back of her neck.It's a little sour, maybe it was because I was sick when I went to bed yesterday.
When he was thinking like this, he heard Chi Chen call out to himself, he opened his eyes and looked over, Chi Chen closed his fist, stood beside Mu Zhen waiting for him, waited for him to wipe off his sweat, and stood in front of Jia Huan : "I ordered someone to make some snacks and put them in the pavilion. Anyway, the weather is fine, so go eat some first."
The pavilion he mentioned was behind the two of them, surrounded by a large number of peach trees, but now only the branches remained.
Jia Huan looked at Chi Chen and said, "What about you?"
Chi Chen rubbed Jia Huan's head with a smile. He was a head taller than Jia Huan, with a look of relief on his face, as if he was moved by Jia Huan's thought of himself: "You eat first, I'll wipe off your sweat, and change your clothes." Clothes coming right away."
Jia Huan nodded, and he went to the pavilion under the leadership of Chun Geng. Chun Geng was busy bringing him several kinds of hot food, and then poured hot soup on it.Feeling hungry, Jia Huan picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, then ate with the hot soup in the bowl, he just swallowed a steamed stuffed bun, saw Chi Chen came back with a change of clothes, The originally loose hair was tidied up, and there was a lot of food on the table, but it disappeared at an alarming speed the moment Chi Chen started eating.
Jia Huan finished the two buns in his hand, and then finished the hot soup in the bowl. The breakfast on the table that could have been eaten by five or six people had disappeared into Chi Chen's godlike appetite. As soon as the hot water came up, Jia Huan stretched out his hand to wash it, then took a dry cloth aside and wiped it.
"When are you going back?" After eating, Jia Huan started to chase people away.
Chi Chen didn't care: "I don't need to go back recently, there's nothing going on outside, now I'm waiting for the Holy Majesty's order, anyway, I'm fine, so I'll come to accompany you for a while, a few days ago someone just sent a message, I heard that you My aunt is pregnant, I think you are going to be an older brother."
This news was shocking to Jia Huan, but when he thought of himself, he began to worry that this new brother or sister would suffer. Embarrassed.
"Then Jia Baoyu is now going to take part in the scientific examination in two years' time, and the saint has given permission on the Internet. If you want to go back, I will say hello to someone. But now that you are a thousand households, if you take the Wenju, I'm afraid you will be punished by them." Look down on it." Chi Chen looked at Jia Huan seriously, in the court hall, civil and military are very separated, although occasionally there are civil servants who do the work of military generals, but I have never heard of military generals who can do the work of civil servants, although Jia Huan's They all know their abilities, but in the eyes of those civil servants, the feats made on the battlefield today are a kind of stain.
There are too many unsatisfactory things in life, and it is better not to plan too much in life. Jia Huan looked at Chi Chen talking about this and that, but he didn't intervene. He just vaguely felt something in his heart, and it just passed by. There was no trace. After he rejected Chi Chen, he just asked the military officer when he would return to Beijing to report on his duties. Considering that he didn't go last time, and it will take another two years for the next time, his younger brother should be able to call him brother by then. .
Chi Chen was talking, but found that Jia Huan seemed to be in a trance, he stretched out his hand and shook in front of Jia Huan: "Brother, what are you thinking?"
Jia Huan came back to his senses, let out an ah, looked down at his fingertips, raised his head and replied, "I'm just thinking, I don't know if it's the younger brother or the younger sister this time, if it's the younger brother, I hope to live longer."
"There is no one else in your house now. If there is no accident, you should be able to live for a long time." Those who didn't live long before were basically accidents. Jia Huan naturally understood what Chi Chen didn't say, but suddenly remembered Chi Chen's identity and seemed to follow him. I was also similar, so I asked how Nan Wang was doing now.
"It was fine before I came here, but he has always been willing to die. If His Majesty is more merciful, I think I can see you again in the future." He didn't care about his father, any feelings came from getting along.
Jia Huan tilted his head and thought for a while, then carefully asked: "Then your mother, did you find out?"
Chi Chen was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and then wondered whether he really wanted to tell Jia Huan, and finally gave up and sighed: "I already know who my mother is, she...is a very capable mother. The man, um, is so capable, he gave birth to three half-brothers for me, and it is said that one of them will come after a while, so I will ask you to meet with me when the time comes."
"Hey, isn't your biological mother dead?" It was so strange.
"Not only alive, but also very happy." Chi Chen felt that coming to Xining was a surprise given to him by the Holy One.It's just that the surprise was overdone and turned into fright.
Chi Chen wanted to continue chatting with Jia Huan, but unfortunately he still had some things to do, so he stood up helplessly and patted his sleeve, then looked at Jia Huan and said, "I'll go first, you'd better not go out recently, You also know that it is not peaceful now, and if there are any major changes, you will go back to Beijing with Chun Geng and the others."
Jia Huan didn't think the general would do anything, since he came into contact with Chen Liu, he had some insights: "Don't worry, don't you often say that heroes are short-tempered and children love each other? I don't think he will do anything, at most It’s all about exchanging the last bit of capital in your hands for the safety of some people.”
Chi Chen turned his head to look at Jia Huan subconsciously, and asked in a low voice, "What do you know?"
Jia Huan shook his head: "Not much, I just heard that one of his concubines should be pregnant. It seems that the general cares about it." His news came from Chen Liu, as for Chen Liu, he missed it I don't know, "This arm can't twist my thigh if I want to. It's fine if the sage is not wise, but that one is very hardworking. If Nian Yao only does some things behind his back, no one else has any objections." It’s okay, but now before Sheng went to the case, he was always suing him, Xining is too sensitive, if he keeps collaborating with the enemy and traitorously, the border will be in danger.” Chi Chen sighed, a general will make it to the end, or Play it safe, hand over military power early, or wait for the one above to clean you up.
Chi Chen chatted with Jia Huan for a while, then left, saying that he had something important to do, but in fact he just had a banquet in the General's Mansion, and this was probably the last gathering, so he didn't want to bring more people. He had to go to pick up the envoy, so he had to take a large group of people to the gate of the general's mansion with all-round protection, and saw Nian Yao, who hadn't seen him for a long time, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Chi Chen paid his respects, and called out his son Qiansui.
Chi Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How can you be worthy of the great general's gift? Don't make it difficult for me." He didn't smile, his face was so indifferent that he didn't show any expression, he just casually stretched out his hand to hold it up Nian Yao.
Nian Yao clasped his hands into his fists and lowered his head, only to find that the opponent's palm was under his own, and he lifted it lightly. He tried his best but was still forced to stand up. It can be seen from this support that he glanced at the guards fighting in two rows outside the door. The carriage behind the guards slowly stopped. A person came down, wearing a third-rank official uniform, with beads hanging around his neck, and a red cap on his head. Seeing Nian Yao, he walked slowly to his side, and greeted Nian Yao with his hands.
"Brother Li is in good shape, don't move too much, why do you have to salute between us." He said, but he didn't reach out to stop him, but the servant next to Li Shangwei had already stopped his master, so the salute was just now. After clasping his fists together, he didn't see much after that. Nian Yao snorted in his stomach, but didn't bring it out on his face. He only invited two people into the mansion.
Chi Chen stepped out and walked in front, Nian Yao walked behind, and Li Shangwei came next, and the guards who followed everyone entered the yard together, waiting for the three of them to sit in the lobby, and stood guard at the door.
Nian Yao glanced at the people at the door, then ordered people to serve food, and poured wine for himself while holding a wine glass: "If Brother Li hadn't found out early that day, we would all have died there, this life-saving grace, I really want to offer a toast." Dozens of slender women suddenly came in outside, carrying pots of delicacies, carefully placed on the table, Li Shangwei took a look at Nian Yao's toast, and also Picking up the wine glass, he took a sip, and while drinking, he heard the sound of sluggishness in his ears.
