The Red Mansions

Chapter 1341 Zhen Qing: Isn’t this a human tragedy?

Chapter 1341 Zhen Qing:...Isn’t it a human tragedy?

Ningguo Mansion, back house

After Jia Heng had lunch, he did not spend much time in the mansion. Instead, he returned to the Grand View Garden along the corridor and was about to go to Qichi Courtyard.

However, just as he walked onto the hand corridor, he could see the square courtyard with jagged mountains and rocks. When he raised his eyes, he saw the girl in a pink dress and red bun with her hair in buns.

At this moment, Tanchun was slowly coming from the Moon Gate, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't hide the joy in his voice, calling: "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Third sister, are you looking for Sister Lan?"

Tanchun nodded and said softly, "Sister Xunlan, please talk to me."

In fact, this is also a bet on whether Brother Heng will come from the front yard. In the past few days, he has been returning to Qichiyuan to rest.

Walking closer, Tan Chun's beautiful and quiet eyebrows whispered: "Brother Heng, are you going to fight during this time?"

Jia Heng nodded and asked, "I have been out of the capital in the past two days. How did the third sister know?"

Tan Chun's beautiful eyebrows were as curved as the crescent moon, and her bright eyes shone with traces of shame, and she said quietly: "Brother Heng is like this every time. He doesn't stay at home for long before he has to go out again. fight."

But if he had an affair with a clan girl like her, Brother Heng would be scolded and his spine would be broken.

Tan Chun curved her beautiful eyebrows, pursed her slightly pink lips, and said, "Brother Heng is going on an expedition this time, so you should be careful."

Just this one glance seems to contain countless deep feelings, but it is worth more than a thousand words.

While talking, the two of them were walking side by side along the corridor. Jia Heng turned to look at Tanchun, who was already up to his shoulders, and asked, "Third sister, how old are you this year?"

Is it to raise her to become an old girl, or something else...

How could he not know what Tanchun was thinking about him?

It's just that the time isn't right now.

This is the only thing in ancient times. People should be married when they are fourteen or fifteen years old, and a marriage contract should be made even earlier.

In fact, the two brothers and sisters were joking randomly.

After getting haircut, she has reached the age to get married, but she doesn't know who she wants to marry. She already has someone in her heart.

"Ouch~" Tan Chun didn't know if he was distracted at this moment. While walking, his head was hit. When he raised his head, there was a complicated look in his eyes, and he said: "No of."

Tanchun glanced at the boy in python suit with his crystal clear eyes, and then looked at the handwriting arcade.

What does Brother Heng mean? When she grows up, then... Brother Heng can do that?

Jia Heng thought for a while and said in a clear voice: "Wait for another year or two, wait until I come back from Tianjin Wei, and see how to deal with the third sister's marriage."

The smile on Jia Heng's face froze for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, and he sighed softly.

Tan Chun heard this, her delicate body trembled a little, she raised her face that was already as hot as fire, and said: "Brother Heng..."

Jia Heng pulled the girl's slender hair, looked at the charming face, looked at the bright eyebrows, smiled and said: "As I said before, if you don't want to get married, don't get married. Our family I can afford to support you, even if I support you for a lifetime, it’s nothing.”

Jia Heng said softly: "I will, third sister."

What are your plans when Brother Heng comes back from Tianjin Wei? Why are these words so vague and unclear?

The person she likes is him. They both belong to the same race. How can he be the master?

This is not a beautiful nun like Miaoyu, who would at most be accused of being lustful, and the so-called young man who is not romantic is wasting his youth.

Tan Chun said softly: "Then let me go with Brother Heng."

Jia Heng was silent for a while and said: "The third sister is still young. It won't be too late to wait a few years to get married."

When Tanchun heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked. For some reason, he suddenly summoned up the courage in his heart. His bright eyes under his curved eyebrows stared at the boy in python suit opposite him. His bright pink lips twitched, but he said nothing. Didn't say anything.

Well, this is indeed the case here. He will not be at home for long before he has to go out to fight.

She stays in the house every day, where can she find a good husband?

Besides, there is such an unparalleled person next to him, and others are even more indifferent to him.

Jia Heng smiled and said in a clear voice: "Okay, third sister, let's go to Qichiyuan."

Jia Heng: "..."

Tanchun said "hmm", and under her beautiful eyebrows, her cheeks as white as snow were covered with a faint rouge blush.

Tan Chun's charming and charming face gradually showed a complex look, and she said in a faint voice: "But as you get older, you will always have to get married."

When Tanchun heard this, he felt a little annoyed. He snorted and said, "Brother Heng may not be able to decide the person I like."

Jia Heng smiled and joked: "Oh, does the third sister have a crush on some clan member?"

Tanchun's expression moved slightly, and there was an inexplicable meaning in his voice as he said, "Brother Heng, after this birthday, I'll be a hairpin."

Tanchun is different from Yuanchun. Yuanchun has been in the palace for many years, and as he gets older, he has a certain degree of autonomy over his own life-long affairs.

Tan Chun heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, she stared at the boy in the python suit, pursed her pink lips, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng."

Tanchun responded softly, but didn't say much else.

A crystal clear heart has already reached the throat.

Jia Heng nodded, and then followed Tanchun toward the hall along the corridor with red eaves and green railings.

Jia Heng turned around, stared at the girl with beautiful and innocent features, and asked: "Third sister, do you have a husband in your heart?"

Jia Heng said softly: "Let's go to Qichiyuan. Come on, let's go there together."

Jia Heng gently held Tan Chun's shoulder, with a hint of endearment in his eyes, and said, "If Third Sister finds someone you like, you can tell me when the time comes and I will make the decision for Third Sister."

Jia Heng gently patted Tan Chun on the shoulder, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and whispered: "Third sister has really grown up."

The girl couldn't understand the meaning of Jia Heng's words for a moment.

Tan Chun's eyebrows were as curved as willow leaves, and her beautiful and soft cheeks suddenly turned as red as a blush. She lowered her beautiful head and said in a trembling voice, a little softer: "Brother Heng..."

While the two were talking, they came to the hall of Qichiyuan.

At this moment, Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi were reading in the side room with carved windows. It was the autumn afternoon. The two sisters were holding a book in their hands and reading attentively.

The two sisters are wearing a red dress and a green dress, with beautiful cloud buns on their heads. The red and green clothes on their bodies contrast with each other, and they look like a beautiful picture of peaceful and prosperous years.

At this moment, the maid said: "The uncle is here."

The two girls, who were reading books with their heads hanging down, paused for a moment as if they were still pictures, then raised their heads and looked towards the threshold.

Jia Heng came quickly, and Tan Chun beside him followed closely.

Zhen Lan came forward to greet her, smiled and said, "The third sister is here too."

Tanchun no longer wanted to correct Zhen Lan's title, because according to the title, Zhen Lan should be called sister-in-law.

Jia Heng sat down, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said: "In a few days, I will go to Tianjin Wei to say goodbye to you."

Zhen Lan had a look of attachment in her eyes under her slender eyebrows, and said softly: "Brother Heng is going out to fight?"

Could it be the battle to regain Liaodong?

She said that Brother Heng had been in Beijing for a long time and it was time to leave Beijing.

Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "The Jurchens have recently sent a large number of troops to invade North Korea. I, a big man, cannot sit back and watch the Jurchens calmly recover North Korea. This time, I will lead the troops to intervene in this matter."

Under Zhen Lan's slender eyebrows, her clear eyes were as bright as water, and she said: "North Korea is like a Jurchen barrier. Now that our Han Dynasty has recovered, the two sides in Liaodong are attacked from both sides, and they are bound to take action. This war has long been inevitable."

Jia Heng smiled, his eyes flashed, he looked at Zhen Lan and said, "Sister Lan is well-informed, even if she goes to the court to serve as prime minister, it is not an exaggeration."

As Zhen Lan grows older, her knowledge has also improved by leaps and bounds. Her understanding of people and things has gone far beyond the scope of a girl of this age.

Zhen Lan's rosy face couldn't help but blush a little with embarrassment, and she whispered: "Brother Heng is too praised."

She didn't want to be a prime minister or prime minister. Even if she did, she wanted to be brother Heng's queen. She would be the mother of the world, the most noble and noble, and she would become a virtuous queen in the future.

Among the people in Brother Heng's harem, the rest are insignificant. She is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and is worthy of the position of the main palace.

At this moment, Zhen Xi came closer and helped Jia Heng rub his shoulders.

Jia Heng said: "Sister Xi'er's craftsmanship is really getting better and better."

Zhen Xi's aura-like brows were filled with shame, and she said softly: "I hope Brother Heng will succeed in this expedition and return in triumph as soon as possible."

Jia Heng said: "Sister Cheng Xi'er's good words."

As Jia Heng spoke, he turned to Zhen Lan and said, "Sister Lan and Third Sister should talk about how to use troops this time?"

Zhen Lan's clear and calm voice, like the tinkling of mountain springs, seemed to contain a few rhythms as exciting as gold and stone, and said: "First use the navy to fight against the Jurchens. When the time is right, you can mobilize troops and horses, leave Shanhaiguan, enter by land and water, and attack directly. Liaodong.”

Jia Heng asked: "Where is the third sister?"

At this moment, Tanchun was recalling what Jia Heng had just said in the corridor, with his face sometimes showing shame and joy, and sometimes doubt and fear.

Not long after, a surprised voice suddenly came from outside, saying: "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng looked intently and saw Yaruo, whose face was full of joy, and said, "Sister Yaruo, where did you go to play just now?"

A charming smile appeared on Yaruo's cheek, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, I went to the primary school to accompany Sister Xiangyun on horseback."

Jia Heng's eyes paused slightly, and under his sword-shaped eyebrows, his eyes were a little interesting, and he said, "You two have similar temperaments, so you can play together."

"Sister Yun has wanted me to teach her how to ride and shoot in the past two days." Yaruo came to Jia Heng's side with a smile and said to Zhen Xi: "Sister Xi'er, I'll do it."

Zhen Xi: "???"

Are you trying to steal this rough job of working as a maid?

The girl, who was petite and exquisite, with a lively face and eyes, seemed to be pushed aside, with a look of aggrievedness on her face.

Jia Heng said softly: "Sister Yaruo is skilled in bow and horse, and good at riding and shooting. You can teach Sister Yun more."

At this moment, Zhen Lan took over the conversation and said softly: "Sister Yaruo rides a horse very well."

Yaruo's pink face was as red as a blush, and she didn't know what she thought of.

It is really unparalleled in riding and shooting. She rides, Brother Heng...

Jia Heng said: "When the world is at peace, I will accompany you to play around. Let's go for a walk outside the Great Wall."

Yaruo's cheeks were as red as a blush, and she said softly: "Brother Heng means what he says."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "You must keep your word."

At this moment, what Jia Heng could see was the young and brilliant smiles, fresh and vivid, like peach blossoms in February, as bright as the clouds, making people fascinated and unable to control themselves.

……

... Prince Chu's Mansion

After Jia Heng received the order to go out to aid the DPRK, the Chu Palace also received an order from the cabinet to lead troops to aid the DPRK.

King Chu sent the angel away with joy on his face, returned to the flower hall and sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "Bah!", the tea cup almost fell to the ground. It was obvious that it was very hot to the mouth, so he quickly put down the tea cup.

"My lord, be careful because it's hot." The maid on the side whispered.

King Chu took the handkerchief, wiped his hands, and quickly calmed down.

It can be said that this made King Chu excited.

Shi Liao Xian, the chief minister of the Prince of Chu, twirled his beard under his chin with his hand, his eyes moved slightly, and he said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

The king of Chu couldn't hide the joy on his face and said: "Yes, Jia Ziyu led the navy to go out to aid the dynasty. There is no doubt that it is another great victory."

Last time, the King of Wei followed Jia Ziyu to the Japanese country. From the King of Chu's point of view, it was just a wandering trip. However, when he returned to the capital, his reputation had obviously expanded. Why did he end up with a man named Yun Wen and Yun Wu, who had unparalleled strategy? Comments.

Moreover, after this incident, he has gained more and more advantages, and now he is working in the Beijing camp. As time goes by, he will definitely be able to win over a large number of generals.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Beijing is also participating in this war. Your Majesty and Prince Beijing are brothers-in-law, so you can have more contacts." Feng Ci, the chief clerk on the side, gave an idea.

King Chu nodded, smiled and said, "It's from Guhui."

Shui Rong was his brother-in-law, so he naturally went with him. No, if he was Jia Ziyu, there should be three brothers-in-law.

When he becomes Dabao in the future, he will be able to rely on his right-hand man.

Just when the King of Chu was dreaming about time, the sound of jingling rings was heard, the fragrant wind blew into his nostrils, and a soft and charming voice sounded in the hall.

"Your Majesty, when did you come back?" Chu Princess Zhen Qing swayed her plump body and quickly entered the hall. Her face was plump and fair, her pink lips were slightly moist, and she had a plump and charming aura. The lingering look between the eyebrows.

"Princess, you are here, and I have just come back." King Chu Chen Qin said with a smile, a look of surprise in his eyes.

She didn't know if it was because she hadn't touched the princess in the past two years, but she always felt that the princess was more flirtatious and flirtatious than before, which made her more attractive.

In fact, Zhen Qing is already twenty-seven or eighty years old this year. With the raising of two children, the two plump wheels in front of her body, as well as the plump roundness like a millstone, are really eye-catching.

"Your Majesty, are you going to go out to fight?" Princess Chu Zhen Qing sat down, Mopan squeezed on the pear wood chair, her delicate and bright willow-leaf eyebrows, dark green as black, and beautiful eyes as bright as water, asked.

Just now, she heard the angel in the palace delivering the imperial edict.

The King of Chu smiled and said: "Jia Ziyu said that the Jurchens have once again raised troops to attack North Korea and are preparing to launch the navy to assist North Korea and expel the Jurchen troops."

Zhen Qing said in surprise: "Zi Yu is going to fight again? It hasn't been long since he came back, right?"

That bastard, he only looked at her once, and after he came back, they got married twice.

Fortunately, she gave him a son, so he didn't miss the three of them.

However, this beauty also knew that the two of them were inconvenienced in Beijing, and she did not think that Jia Heng was tired of her.

The King of Chu nodded and said with emotion: "In the past few years, Ziyu has worked tirelessly to conquer the country of Han Dynasty from east to west, and now this wedding is a break from his busy schedule."

Princess Chu thought for a while, her charming eyes seemed to be shining with waves, and she said softly: "My lord, if you follow Zi Yu on the expedition this time, you can also make some contributions."

King Chu nodded and said: "Zi Yu is a famous general in the world. He can win this time. It is impossible to say that he can wipe out the Liaodong Jurchens in one fell swoop."

When Zhen Qing heard this, she couldn't help but feel happy and said, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

The king of Chu said: "Liaodong has been entrenched outside the pass for many years and has repeatedly invaded our Han border. Now, the country's power is declining and it is lingering. It is time to annihilate it. However, it all depends on Ziyu."

Zhen Qing smiled and asked: "Your Majesty, was he a deputy general during this trip?"

The King of Chu said: "I am not a deputy general, but I am still supplying military supplies, food, fodder and ordnance. The deputy general is Wang Shuixiandi of Beijing."

Zhen Qing said softly: "King Beijing? Didn't he just come back from overseas?"

Liao Xian answered from the side and said: "Princess, this is actually better than being a deputy general in name. Your Majesty is a person who values ​​actual performance. It is much better for the prince to work conscientiously in the rear than to just show up in name."

Zhen Qing nodded and said, "That's right."

King Chu said softly: "The princess has been tidying up recently and will start her journey."

Zhen Qing responded softly.

"Princess, after Ziyu and I go on the expedition, if you have nothing to do, you should carry Jie'er and Yinyin to Ningguo Mansion and walk around with the Qin family. She also has a daughter at home." King Chu said, thought for a while, and said : "It would be great if we could decide on the marriage between Jie'er and Ziyu's daughter."

When Zhen Qing heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and a strange look appeared in her beautiful eyes.

He thought to himself, the prince has brought up this issue again. Wouldn't it be a human tragedy if two little babies are really going to get married?

The King of Chu said with hope in his eyes: "I hope that when I go to North Korea this time, I can conquer the Liaodong Jurchens in one go."

Zhen Qing smiled sweetly and said, "My lord, I will definitely do it."

King Chu picked up the tea cup and took another sip of tea, clearly still feeling a little excited.

……

……

At the same time, Prince Wei’s Mansion——

Wei Wang Chen Ran also received the news that Jia Heng was about to lead troops to North Korea. At this moment, he was sitting in the hall, his brows furrowed, his handsome and fair face almost uncertain.

After a long time, Wei King Chen Ran said in a quiet voice: "My father sent Brother Chu King to accompany Jia Ziyu on the expedition this time. This bowl of water is really flat."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry." Deng Wei's eyes flashed under his thick eyebrows, and he said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it won't be long before I will be of use to you too."

King Wei Chen Ran said: "Mr. Deng, how do you say this?"

"Although Lord Wei has mobilized the navy to assist North Korea, it is impossible not to use soldiers from the border towns. If we achieve another victory, he will probably mobilize soldiers from the Beijing camp to launch a war of annihilation against the Jurchens. At that time, the prince will be stationed in the Beijing camp. , Of course it has its place." Deng Wei said with an extremely determined expression.

It can be said that this is a wise man who immediately saw through Jia Heng's plan.

The navy went first to annihilate the Jurchens' effective forces, and then the Chen and Han armies went all out to completely capture the Jurchens in Liaodong.

King Chen Ran of Wei couldn't hide the excitement in his voice, and said: "On that day, when the troops from the capital camp leave the fortress, I can still send troops and horses to supervise the army. If I can destroy the Liaodong Jurchens, it will be a great achievement. "

Just like Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, once led a boat to pacify Nanchen. In fact, he followed Yang Su and other important officials to gain a wave of seniority.

Deng Wei nodded and said: "Your Majesty, please be patient. Your Majesty wants to inspect the vassals, and you cannot avoid your Majesty no matter what."

King Wei Chen Ran nodded and said in a clear voice: "I don't doubt this at all. After all, I am my legitimate son."

He is the eldest son of his father. As long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, he can safely inherit the throne.

However, there is still a lingering worry in my heart.

He has been married for so long, but why has he still not had any children?

This is simply a fatal rule. If you have no children, how can you rule the world?

No, it probably had nothing to do with him. It was all because of Concubine Yan's dissatisfaction. As for Concubine Wei, the time to pass was still short. The year before, he accompanied Zi Yu on an expedition to Japan.

Later he will ask Concubine Yan what the disease is when she is looking for famous doctors in the south.

In fact, at this moment, King Wei had some doubts in his heart, whether it was his own problem.

In the backyard, Yan Yiliu was sitting on a huanghuali wooden Taishi chair, holding a blue-covered book in his hand, reading attentively.

Looking under the sunlight, one can see that the two characters "Three Kingdoms" are clearly written on the title page.

As a woman from a family of military commanders, Yan Yiliu loved these romance novels. Yan Yiliu was also a loyal reader of Jia Heng's Three Kingdoms novels.

"Princess, the prince is here." At this moment, the maid quickly came under the eaves of the corridor and said softly.

Yan Yiliu was surprised when he heard this.

Without him, the prince never comes to see him in the house. Is the sun rising from the east?

King Wei Chen Ran entered the hall and looked at the woman in blue dress with complicated thoughts.

When we were newly married, we had a happy time. When did it start to become like this?

It seems that he has been childless for a year, or that the Wang family of Nan'an County has lost power?

"I have met the prince." Yan Yiliu stood up in a blue dress and saluted King Wei, his voice was like gold and stone.

Wei Wang Chen Ran forced a gentle smile on his face and said softly: "Princess, there is no need to be polite."

Yan Yiliu's face was as indifferent as frost. He pointed to the pear wood chair beside him and said, "Your Majesty, please sit down."

King Wei said as he sat down on a chair not far away, his calm and resolute face slightly unnatural.

Yan Yiliu didn't say much. He picked up the tea cup and tasted it gently, as if the old god was there.

Wei Wang Chen Ran said awkwardly: "Princess."

"Your Majesty." Yan Yiliu put down the tea cup and asked.

King Chen Ran of Wei carefully considered his words and whispered: "The last time the princess went to Jiangnan to ask for medical advice, why did she not find out why?"

Yan Yiliu's beautiful eyebrows curved, his eyes paused slightly, and he whispered: "The master of Xinglin in Nanbian'er said that it still needs to be taken good care of."

She just didn't tell him, but it was actually his problem. When he and the concubine couldn't have a child, he would understand whose fault it was.

In fact, this is also a kind of revengeful psychology of women.

After all, King Chen Ran of Wei was Yan Yiliu's first man, but in the end he was always in trouble and finally abandoned him. How could Yan Yiliu not be grudged in his heart?

Wei Wang Chen Ran's eyes flashed, he considered his words, and said: "So, the lonely king has no children, is this the problem of the princess?"

Under Yan Yiliu Yingli's beautiful eyebrows, a sarcastic look flashed in the depths of her cold bright eyes, and she said, "Why, the prince still thinks it's his own problem?"

Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "This should not be the case. I have always kept myself clean."

As he said this, he suddenly understood. He looked at Yan Yiliu with clear eyes and said, "Princess, the lonely king has no other intentions."

Yan Yiliu laughed at himself and said softly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to explain. It's because of my bad luck."

Wei Wang Chen Ran raised his eyebrows and remained silent for a while.

A slightly awkward atmosphere quietly spread between the couple.
