[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

Jiang Ling looked around, but there were still a lot of pedestrians and traffic, and no one paid attention to their words.

Seeing her expression, Kangxi couldn't help but asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

In the deep twilight, the two light blue pearls showed a slight luster, and the surface was engraved with complicated and beautiful patterns, which were obviously micro-carved by the craftsman's skillful hands.Kangxi's eyes fell on those two beads, and for some reason, his mood suddenly became better.

Although I don't know, when will Jiang Ling notice the micro-carvings on those two beads.

But now he is still in a good mood.really good.

Jiang Ling looked around nervously, stood on tiptoe, leaned into Kangxi's ear and said, "Just now the emperor called himself 'Zhen'."

Before finishing a sentence, Kangxi suddenly grabbed her wrist again, and his eyes fell on the two light blue pearls.Her complexion is very good, as white and delicate as suet jade, and it is just right for those two round and transparent beads.Kangxi couldn't help raising his hand, trying to caress her earlobe, but just halfway through it, he put it down again.

He let out a long breath, looked at the crowd of pedestrians around him, and said, "Let's go back home."

This is really not the right place.

Jiang Ling glanced around again, and called nervously, "Master."

This guy really got worse and worse. Not only was he holding her hand, but he couldn't break free even after struggling a few times.She tugged at him with her other hand, signaling that there were others around.Kangxi looked around for a while, then smiled again: "I heard that people in the south are always indifferent and don't like to inquire about other people's affairs. Even if they saw it, they would turn a blind eye to it. As expected."

For example, now, when he walks down the street holding her hand, no one will care.

At most, there are only two people who are in a panic when they are idle, and they will smile at them and wink with their companions.

As for what Jiang Ling was worried about just now...

Kangxi patted the back of her hand lightly, and said softly, "It's okay."

What, it's okay.

Jiang Ling looked around uneasily, pedestrians were still coming and going, shopkeepers carried their loads to walk through the streets, and occasionally could hear the crisp laughter of women inside the wall, and the soft Cantonese was softer than Wu soft.She looked at Kangxi, then at her hands, and suddenly remembered that they were speaking Beijing dialect just now, and there seemed to be some language barriers here.

Cantonese is popular in Guangfu area, and most of the people on the street can't understand the word "zhen".

So, so just now she...

Completely unfounded.

Jiang Ling rubbed his chest and let out a long breath.Most of the people I met in the business this evening were merchants traveling from south to north; the people in the small wooden house just now also spoke Beijing dialect, so she didn't think of this.Now hearing the soft Cantonese, and seeing those pedestrians who come and go, but never look at them sideways, I suddenly understand.

She obediently followed Kangxi, holding his hand, and walked slowly back to the residence.

It was getting late, Kangxi called two maids and asked them to accompany Jiang Ling back to the house to rest, while he went to the front to deal with things.He just went out with Jiang Ling and found quite a lot. He has to sort out those discoveries tomorrow, and then make some preparations in advance for what he will do tomorrow.

Especially in the past two days, the officials under him and the merchants from the Western and Southern Oceans have not given up an inch, which is really worrying.

Kangxi dealt with political affairs outside for a while, then called a few courtiers who were close to him to come in, and discussed with them how to manage those Westerners.Jiang Ling once mentioned to him that Nanyang and Western merchants are actually different. Western merchants are much more cunning, while Nanyang merchants actually exist as puppets of Western merchants in many cases.Jiang Ling also said that Great Britain in the West controlled the whole of India by relying on the East India Company alone.

If what she said is true, merchants from the West and Southeast Asia must be treated differently.

Kangxi discussed with his close ministers for a while, and asked all the officials under them who knew Spanish to deal with Westerners, especially the family emblem that Jiang Ling just mentioned, it is best to ask carefully.And, the Spanish language school in the government can try to recruit some students from outside.If the sea ban in the south of the Yangtze River is to be lifted in the future, a large area from Guangzhou to Hangzhou to Yangzhou will need a large number of officials who are proficient in Western and Nanyang languages.

An official was a little dissatisfied: "Why don't the barbarians learn the language of this dynasty?"

Kangxi smiled, and asked back: "If they discuss some secret matters in private, but we don't understand, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity?"

A few days ago, Kangxi just had a dream. In the dream, he could understand Western languages, and even some Nanyang languages, but few of the officials under his command could understand them.Occasionally, there are a few officials who can understand Western languages, but they are not proficient in them.So in that dream, Kangxi watched three or four Westerners discussing in Western language in front of him how to tear a piece of meat from Guangzhou City, but the officials under him, because they heard He didn't understand Western language, so he allowed a ship full of soldiers to sail into Victoria Harbour.

Kangxi clearly remembered that it was a nightmare he had on the first night in Guangzhou.

He didn't mention this nightmare to anyone, but secretly, he began to search for gentlemen who are proficient in Western languages, and he planned to train a group of officials who can use it first.As an emperor, the four characters of "preparing for a rainy day" must be firmly kept in mind.

Letting Jiang Ling go out with him just now was also an idea of ​​planning for a rainy day.The officials here did not gain all his trust.

The dissatisfied official's expression froze, and he lowered his head and said, "It's my negligence."

So the matter was finalized. While negotiating separately with Western and Nanyang businessmen, we opened schools for Western and Nanyang languages, and selected some talented children from every year to learn these languages ​​for future use. .After Kangxi finalized some details with them, he let them go back separately, and he also returned to the inner courtyard to rest.

When I returned to the yard, there was still a dim light in the house.

He unknowingly slowed down his pace, and his restless mood just now gradually became calm.

Kangxi pushed open the door, and his eyes quickly fell on Jiang Ling.She was still the same as usual, sitting sideways beside the desk, holding a book in her hand, flipping through the pages.A lamp on the table was almost burned out, and the dim candlelight illuminated a beautiful silhouette.His eyes fell on the pair of pearl earrings, which were round and lustrous, with a bluish tinge in the dim yellow light, like two drops of water in the sea.

He walked into the room and closed the door behind his back, making a muffled creak.

Jiang Ling seemed to have been awakened, stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Kangxi took two steps forward, gently embraced her in his arms, and asked softly, "Why don't you rest?"

Jiang Ling raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were shining, and his eyes began to wander around: "I'm not tired today."

Kangxi let out a muffled groan, held her in his arms, and said with a low smile, "Aren't you tired today? Huh?"

His fingertips caressed Jiang Ling's earlobe and landed on a cool pearl.The round bead surface has a slight blue luster, and the subtle lines flow down the bead surface like flowing water.She obviously didn't notice these lines, or rather, he didn't intend for her to look at them from the beginning.

I really want to know what kind of surprised expression she will have when she finds out by herself.

Thinking of this, Kangxi slightly moved his hand away, hugged her by the waist, and said with a smile, "Since you're not tired today, then let's talk with me." Then he walked to the edge of the bed in two steps, and held Jiang Ling gently. put it down.Jiang Ling turned her head to look at him, dangling her two little feet in his arms, and asked with a smile, "What does the Emperor want to tell me?"

The twilight is hazy, and the beauty remains the same.

He pinched the tip of her nose and said with a smile, "you'll know later."

The two took off their shoes, socks and coats, and lay on the bed together, Jiang Ling leaned in his arms, playing with his fingers over and over again.He didn't stop her, he patted her on the shoulder lightly, and mentioned to Jiang Ling the things discussed outside today.

I don't know why, but those officials outside are not as knowledgeable as Jiang Ling's rich knowledge on Western issues.

Jiang Ling listened quietly for a while, closed her eyes, and murmured, "So it's like this..."

Kangxi looked down at her, his long black hair was scattered on his chest, and a round and transparent bead leaned against his finger, shining brightly in the dim light.He leaned down and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

Jiang Ling closed her eyes, leaned into his arms, and mentioned a few words cryptically.

There are some things she can't explain too clearly, otherwise she will put herself in a dangerous situation.But Kangxi is a fine individual, although Jiang Ling spoke cryptically, he was able to infer some terrible things from these cryptic words.The two chatted one after another for less than half an hour, when Kangxi suddenly sighed and whispered into her ear, "It's so good."

Deqing is like this, this life is not in vain.

He concealed the second half of the sentence, and gently kissed her eyes, that cool bead was slightly hot as he rubbed it repeatedly.The tiny lines on the bead rolled across his fingers, and only those with excellent eyesight could notice what was carved on it.

Kangxi leaned over and kissed the light blue bead, and asked in a low voice, "How are you doing tonight?"

A slightly hot kiss landed on her neck.

"Still—not bad."

Jiang Ling knew exactly what he was going to do next. Although he had done it many times, he was still a little nervous.Kangxi patted her on the back reassuringly, unbuttoned her buttons one by one, and then a soft kiss landed on her heart.

Her whole body trembled, a slight numbness spread from her heart, and overflowed all over her body.

"Here." He pressed his fingers on her waist and abdomen, where there were a few shallow but extremely hideous scars, "I remember you were seriously injured last time, but it's okay, you've recovered." With a trace of remnants of happiness, but also faintly afraid.

According to the imperial physician, if it wasn't for Jiang Ling's good health, he might not be able to survive for three days.

Jiang Ling softly called out to the emperor, feeling a little guilty for some reason.He smiled, stroked those scars one by one with his fingertips, light and faint, almost no different from the surrounding skin color, and then kissed gently.

She closed her eyes, feeling an unexplained feeling in her heart, which gradually overflowed.

The candle shadow in a room is dim.

For some reason this evening, he suddenly became a little crazy, pestering her again and again.It wasn't until the last time, when Jiang Ling was exhausted by him, leaning against his arms and panting slightly, that he heard him whisper in her ear: "If it doesn't work out, I should always be suspicious." own."

The slightly hot fingertips caressed her earlobe and landed on the cool bead.

Dimly, Jiang Ling was a little surprised, what is he talking about?

The next morning, Jiang Ling woke up very early in the morning, but did not open his eyes. He heard a maid come in timidly, and said with a little cry: "Emperor, Your Majesty, Li, Eunuch Li let the slaves come in." Give this thing, say, say yes to..."

She felt someone cover her ears lightly, and then reprimanded in a low voice: "I have already said, this is not needed, so they don't need to send it over in the future. It is not needed now, nor will it be needed from now on." .”

There was a hint of sullenness in his voice, as if he had seen something that made him angry.

Jiang Ling was surprised for a moment, but did not open his eyes, still leaning in his arms, pretending to be asleep.

The maid left after a while, and Kangxi pulled out his arm, put down the curtain for her, got up and went outside to change clothes.After he left, Jiang Ling sat up, pressed the cool bamboo mat under his body, and thought to himself, what was that just now?

When the maids entered the room to help her wash and wash, she asked intentionally or unintentionally, and only one of the maids murmured:

"It's avoid soup."
