Chapter 125 The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention

The night was low, and the evening wind that was approaching late autumn was already a bit chilly. Under the lanterns under the eaves, rings of lantern light were faintly shining, reflecting the tall and tall figure of the young man.

Qin Keqing walked out of the back room at this time, holding a big cloak in her hand, and said softly: "Husband, it's getting dark, it's getting cold."

Jia Heng turned to look at Qin Keqing, and said softly: "Tomorrow, I will follow Cai Quan out of the city, and my family is worried about you."

Qin Keqing looked worried, thought for a while, and said: "If it's not my husband, I'll go back to my mother's house."

Yesterday my husband told her... She was worried about accompanying Aunt Cai's nephew to suppress bandits, but it was hard to persuade her.

What can she say when the man has made great achievements outside?

It's just that in the end there is some reluctance and sourness of "suddenly seeing the color of willows on the street, regretting teaching my husband and son-in-law to find a prince".

Looking at Qin Keqing, who had a look of disappointment in her charming eyebrows, Jia Heng smiled.

I don't know if it's because of the essence of food, but Qing has been a little clingy to him recently.

The beauties who have the beauty of both hairpin and black hair have already shown one or two peerless and enchanting and moving postures.

Jia Heng said: "That's not necessary. Yan'er and Bi'er will stay with you at home. In addition, I borrowed two hand crossbows and gave them to Yan'er and Bi'er to protect you secretly."

Sisters Yan'er and Bi'er, especially Bi'er, used to have boxing skills, and now they have the two hand crossbows he borrowed from Cai Quan, which should be able to protect Keqing without any danger.

"Now the Ningguo Mansion is not without malice. If you don't talk about aunts like Jia Zhen, just talk about Jia Rong. Today I look at me with cold eyes."

A young man can't hide his thoughts, no matter how much he wants to hide, in the eyes of a former frontier guard like him, who is a master at observing words and emotions, there is nothing to hide.

In fact, at a banquet during the day, he almost knew exactly what kind of attitude he had towards him from the young and old of the Jia clan.

"Jia Zhen lost her title because of her crime. Jia Rong is the one with the most unbalanced mentality. This person needs to be on guard. Look for Jia Qiang later to see if Jia Qiang can keep her eye on Jia Rong first."

Jia Heng made up his mind in a flash of thought.

While thinking about it, Qingwen's voice suddenly came from a distance, "My lord, Lian's second grandma and Miss Heping'er are here."

Jia Heng paused, and said, "Sister Feng, what is she here for?"

Qin Keqing smiled lightly and said, "Your husband will know if you wait until we meet."

She has long admired the name of Feng Lazi, who is exquisite and exquisite in the West Mansion.

"I've been drinking all over, so it's not convenient to meet alone. I'll meet you later." Jia Heng said in a low voice.

Qin Keqing blinked, and said with a light smile, "Then husband, wait for me to change into clothes."

Obviously, the beauty wanted to add luster to Jia Heng's face, and she didn't want to show timidity when meeting her family's sister-in-law and make people laugh.

On this side, Sister Feng, accompanied by Ping'er and other maids, came towards the East Mansion. There was only a corridor between the two mansions, and the East Mansion could be entered through a corner gate.

Sister Feng would never visit alone, no matter how hot-tempered she was, she had to guard against gossip.

The romantic anecdote of sister-in-law and brother-in-law is the most interesting thing to talk about.

In the flower hall, the guests and hosts were seated separately, and the maid Qingwen twisted the waist of the water snake and offered tea.

Sister Feng raised her eyes to look at Qingwen, and said with a smile: "Ping'er, look, Qingwen, the maid in the old lady's room, is of a first-class color, and now she is serving Brother Heng, which is considered...a sword as a gift to a hero." , the red powder is given to the beauty."

These two sentences are also commonly used in the opera. Now that Sister Feng finished speaking, she also felt that the strange feeling of "lowering others" when talking to the boy opposite was gone.

Jia Heng sat on the main seat, looked at Sister Feng's smiling face, and said calmly: "Sister-in-law Feng, I don't know if you are visiting at night, what's the matter?"

Sister Feng said sweetly, "Brother Heng, my sister-in-law is here to make amends and accuse An Er."

Jia Heng picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and was noncommittal.

Sister Feng Danfeng's eyes flashed, looking at the calm young man, she felt a little strange in her heart, and cursed secretly, she is not very old, but she can play music.

Sister Feng laughed and said: "I misunderstood Brother Heng before, and I didn't want Brother Heng's statement to go up. I really wanted to resign from the knighthood. I said some frivolous words that were neither serious nor serious. Brother Heng is a capable person, and I wouldn't think about it." Take it to heart... But I was also uneasy, so I thought, come over and see, if Brother Heng is missing something here, please open your mouth, and don't talk heresy."

Jia Heng said in his heart, although I don't take it to heart, but what you said is not very interesting.

However, she didn't take Sister Feng's soft words of "admitting defeat" to heart.

He never thought that Sister Feng was just blindly strong, and would not be humble and petty.

On the contrary, Sister Feng is well versed in the way of changing the leopard, and the second sister You is so fascinated by Sister Feng's rhetoric, and then misbelieves Sister Feng's words, and finally ends up a confidante who swallowed gold and died.

"It's a pity that the organ's calculations were too clever, and it cost Qingqing's life instead."

Jia Heng put down the teacup and quietly watched Sister Feng perform.

Sister Feng said: "Brother Heng, why did I hear the second master say that you want to allocate some public money to establish the ethnology? It will cost a lot of money."

Jia Heng said: "It doesn't take much, so I started to spend more, building a school building, hiring famous teachers, and providing food. The total is about ten thousand taels of silver. After that, I will spend about two to three thousand taels of silver a year. , not only for the public’s silver, but also for the well-being of the clan.”

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Brother Heng is benevolent and righteous."

Secretly thought, if it is ten thousand taels of silver, it is not much. She thought that this "Master Heng" would spend three to forty thousand taels of silver for a big construction project.

She remembered that if she built more than a dozen houses, she would have to pay 3 to [-] taels of silver.

But Sister Feng didn't know that it was the Jia family's hands, greedy for money, and when doing things, it would be good to really use [-]% of the money.

Jia Heng presided over this matter, so he would watch the whole process and spend every penny wisely.

While Sister Feng was thinking about it, a coquettish and soft voice suddenly came, "Husband, who is here?"

The corners of Jia Heng's mouth twitched, and he was a little speechless to Ke Qing's "female" nature, and replied: "The second sister-in-law Lian from the West Mansion is here."

While speaking, the beaded curtains rattled, a woman in a light red pleated embroidered skirt and a golden step on her head, with a dignified and gorgeous demeanor, like a beautiful woman in palace clothes blooming hibiscus, supported by Baozhu and Ruizhu , into the flower hall.

Jia Heng's complexion moved slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Ming Guangren, his wife who is overwhelmed by the country, and said in his heart, I have never seen you dressed up like this for me.

Well, tonight...

However, I turned my head and cast a sideways glance at Sister Feng, and saw that she also had a look of astonishment on her face. With Sister Feng's cleverness and sophistication, she was actually sitting on a chair, staring blankly, without getting up, which shows Keqing's graceful demeanor. , the impact on Sister Feng.

Although it is not a court attire, it is also graceful and gorgeous.

Qin Keqing smiled and stepped forward, looked at Sister Feng and said: "This must be Sister Feng, Su Wen is like a fairy concubine, I finally met today."

Sister Feng smiled, got up and said: "Yo, how can I be considered a fairy concubine, I am a yellow-faced woman, but Grandma Heng, this character is just like a painting, if you don't know it, you may think it is a fairy in Yaochi The daughter has gone down to earth."

These words were not false, she finally understood why Brother Zhen in the East Mansion was taken aback, this is simply a disaster for a beauty, no man can stand it.

Jia Heng paused, picked up the tea beside him, and took a sip.

Sister Feng came forward with a smile and took Qin Keqing's hand, and said: "No wonder Brother Heng's precious siblings are like eyeballs. If it were me, I would hold them in my hands too. I'm afraid they might fly away. Put them in my mouth for fear of melting." gone."

He does not mean that.

"Cough cough..." Jia Heng almost choked on a sip of tea, and quickly changed his face, frowning and said: "Who made the tea, it's a little hot."

Qingwen behind her said in surprise: "No, I tasted it on purpose."

Glancing at her husband who "covered his gaffe", Qin Keqing's heart trembled, and she also realized some joints. Her cheeks were as bright as a pistil, flushed and hot, she lowered her head slightly, and said shyly: "Second sister-in-law is joking!" .”

Then there is Grandma Heng who has a brisk temperament. After all, she is a new wife and she is not the opponent of Sister Feng. She was defeated in just the first round.

Of course, someone is primarily responsible.

Sister Feng Danfeng blinked her eyes, felt that something was wrong, but she didn't suspect him, and said with a smile: "Grandma Heng, I just think that the more I look at you, the happier I am, and I need to get closer to you in the future."

Qin Keqing raised her eyes to look at Sister Feng, and said with a smile: "I also looked at the second sister-in-law, and felt that she was kinder, as if she had known her for a long time, yes, I think this is what is often said in books."

Sister Feng said with a smile, "Then how about we address each other as sisters in the future? I'm older, so I'll call you sister with a shy face. Sister, you can call me Sister Feng from now on."

Qin Keqing thought for a while, her bright eyes twinkled, and she said with a smile, "Sister Feng, just call me Sister Keqing."

She also wanted to help her husband bear some of the pressure from the clan. I heard that Sister-in-Law Feng was a fierce one. If she could make things better for her, I think my husband would be able to relax a bit.

Although Jia Heng was expressionless, his thoughts were inexplicable.

Xindao, you really have similar temperaments, and you deserve to be able to "teach your dreams" in the original book. After a while, you started calling me sister and sister.

Qing Wen, who was serving Jia Heng with her arms down, curled her lips when she saw this scene, and glanced at Sister Feng, "Sisters and sisters... Those who know think they are sisters-in-law, and those who don't know think they are serving a husband together."

Obviously Qingwen is not very impressed with Sister Feng's familiarity.
