Chapter 400 Piercing Miaoyu's Veil

Chapter 400 Piercing Miaoyu's Veil

In the wing room, at some time, the incense and ice cream in the animal cage had already been ignited, a few wisps of clear smoke curled up, and a soothing aroma permeated the air.

Jia Heng felt something, turned his eyes and glanced at Miaoyu, and saw Miaoyu rolled up her sleeves, revealing a white and tender arm like a lotus root, and the sandalwood lit in the incense cage was clearly his handwriting.

It seems to be in response to his words of burning incense and drinking tea just now.

On the other side, after hearing Jia Heng's words, Xichun's pretty face showed a thoughtful look, and she said in a pretty voice, "Then I'll go and have a look tomorrow."

Jia Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "After a few days, if you're not too busy, I'll teach my sister how to ride a horse."

Xichun's eyes flickered, and she was a little tempted, and said softly, "I heard Sister Yun and Sister San talk about it earlier, it seemed quite interesting, but I thought I wouldn't fall, it's not just a joke."

Jia Heng took a sip of tea, smiled, and said, "With me watching, you won't fall. Besides, this kind of thing is like crossing the river with a pony. You'll know after you try it."

"Pony crossing the river?" Xichun murmured with surprise on her face, thinking about the meaning of the word.

However, Jia Heng thought of this story that all seven or eight-year-old children knew in the previous life, and it did not exist in this world, so he briefly narrated it.

The story of the pony crossing the river is quite interesting.

Miaoyu listened to Jia Heng's narration, and a thoughtful look appeared on her white and jade-like face.

Xichun blinked her eyes, and said in a playful voice: "Brother Heng means that you will only know the depth after you try it."

Jia Heng paused, smiled and said: "Well, you can understand it that way."

Miaoyu listened to the conversation between the two, took a sip of the tea soup, and remained silent.

Here, Jia Heng drinks tea with Xichun and talks.

Xichun's mind is precocious, her conversation is elegant, and she can't be regarded as a child at all.

The mountains and rivers drag thousands of miles away, and the towers rise high among the five clouds.

In the radiance of the sun and the moon in the garden repair, the scene wins the good fortune of the article.

This is a poem written by Xichun when Yuanchun was visiting relatives.

Can this be called a child?

There are also all kinds of words that escape into Buddhism, even the adults of later generations will not be able to say them.

Of course, Jia Heng and Xichun almost tacitly did not mention Jia Zhen.

Xichun suddenly said: "Brother Heng, what kind of books do you usually read? I want to find two books to read."

Jia Heng laughed and said, "You don't read Buddhist scriptures anymore?"

Being sized up and down by those warm eyes, especially the teasing words in an intimate tone, Xichun's heart trembled slightly, her clear cheeks blushed, and said: "I haven't read Buddhist scriptures for a while, instead I am looking for scriptures to relieve my boredom. I have finished reading the first part of Big Brother Heng's Three Kingdoms Tales."

Jia Heng turned to look at the bookshelf, frowned and said, "How many books are there?"

Xichun followed Jia Heng's gaze, panicked, and hurriedly said: "It belongs to Master Miaoyu."

Miaoyu: "???"

Jia Heng smiled and asked, "Do you like reading story books?"

Ru Hua smiled and said: "Grandpa, my girl has been looking for scripts for the past few days, and the girl has read the script of the Three Kingdoms written by the uncle twice."

Jia Heng looked at the slightly embarrassed tsundere little Lolita, and said with a light smile, "Then, I have to write the second part as soon as possible."

Xichun couldn't help showing a smile, and quickly realized something, lowered her head, her heart beating violently.

Jia Heng picked up the teacup and thought about it.

He found that Xichun still liked listening to stories.

In other words, there is no one who does not like to listen to stories, which is caused by human curiosity and curiosity.

Jia Heng thought for a while, met Xichun's gaze, and said: "There is nothing to recommend in the market, there is nothing to recommend, there are all kinds of mud and sand, and the good and bad are mixed. How about I tell you a story?"

In fact, it is best to use stories as an educational enlightenment. To stimulate girls' fantasies about beautiful love, there should be no longer thoughts of escaping from the world.

Of course, you can't talk about "Dream of Red Mansions".

When Xichun heard the words, she was really curious, and asked crisply, "What story?"

Jia Heng sorted out his thoughts and words, and said, "It's actually a fairy tale."

He hesitated for a while, whether to talk about "Legend of Sword and Fairy" or "Zhu Xian", and finally chose to talk about the latter.

The fairy tales have been passed down orally throughout the ages, and even the Buddhist scriptures tell a lot of stories about Buddhas and Bodhisattvas exerting their mighty powers and saving the world, so there is no problem of surpassing Xichun's personal cognition.

"Zhu Xian?" Xichun frowned, and said the awkward name, with a pensive look on her little face, carefully savoring these two words, she felt an indescribable attraction.

Miaoyu was also listening secretly, her brows were frowned, and she felt a sense of hunting and killing, unconsciously put down the teacup in her hand, and turned to look at the boy.

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, and then told Xichun the story of "Zhu Xian".

Ordinarily he thought that Zhu Xian was still in middle school in his previous life, and he should have forgotten the specific plot long ago, but he couldn't stand the fact that many fan writers in later generations kept helping others to review, even Liu Beiwen, who received Shuiyue and Suru... …

Jia Heng's story line of Zhu Xian is relatively clear.

From the massacre in Caomiao Village to the martial arts meeting in Qimai, Jia Heng talked about Heyang City in one breath, Zhang Xiaofan met Baguio, and went all the way to the Blood Drop Cave.

Miaoyu was listening, the Buddhist beads in her hand had long been involuntarily clenched, her snow-clear face showed surprise, she almost held her breath, her mind was attracted to it.

how to say?

This is a story innovation based on cognition. If Jia Heng talked about "Three-Body Problem", it would not work, because it completely surpassed the cognitive boundaries of the times.

But speaking of "Zhu Xian", for Miaoyu, who is used to reading "Zhuangzi" and "Legend of Tang Dynasty" and other weird stories, there is no obstacle to understanding.

"Zhuangzi" and some miscellaneous books also record various stories of gods, gods and monsters. The imagination of the ancients should not be underestimated.

And literati often write about ghosts and ghosts, such as "Feng Shen Yan Yi" by the Ming Dynasty, "Strange Stories from a Liaozhai Studio" by the Qing Dynasty, and "Notes from Yuewei Thatched Cottage". Therefore, Jia Heng told this story with a sense of novelty, but it did not exist at all. Cognitive impairment.

Listening to the story, Miaoyu's heart was shaken, and she looked at the boy with complicated eyes.

Secretly said, it is said that this young man wrote the story book Three Kingdoms before he showed his face, and became famous in the capital.

When it was not right, Jia Heng also spoke dryly, took a sip of tea soup, raised his eyes to look at Xichun, who was full of emotions, and Miaoyu, who was lost in thought, secretly thought, classics are classics.

Looking up at the twilight outside, he said: "Sister, let's go here first, it's getting late, I have something to do later, so I'll go back first."

Hearing the words, Xichun came back to her senses and stood up, with a trace of reluctance in the eyes under her beautiful eyebrows, she couldn't help asking: "Brother Heng, will you... come tomorrow?"

Jia Heng smiled and said: "Come on, come over and tell my sister tomorrow, and you have to finish it."

When Xichun heard the words, joy surged in her heart, she nodded her head, and said softly: "Then I'll send Brother Heng off."

Jia Heng said: "No need, it's a bit cold outside, so don't send my sister off."

While talking, she got up, suddenly turned her eyes to look at Miaoyu who was drinking tea with her head down, pretending to be fake, took down the Buddhist scriptures, and read them intently, frowned, and asked: "Miaoyu, can I take a step to speak? "

He felt that it was still necessary to have a private talk with Miaoyu. In the usual conversation, he should comfort Xichun a lot, so that a good person should not be distracted.

Because if he said some things, it might not be convenient and effective for this Xichun confidant to say.

In addition, he ordered the Jinyi Mansion to investigate a matter not long ago. He was originally curious, but unexpectedly found out some interesting things.

When Miaoyu heard Jia Heng calling her name suddenly, she was stunned and didn't react for a while.

Suddenly not calling the teacher and the girl, I feel a little uncomfortable.

Staring at Jia Heng, he was met with a pair of sharp, silent and firm eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

"I have a few words to tell you." Jia Heng left a word and left Xichun's room.

Miao Yuyu's face changed, she pursed her cherry lips, she didn't want to go, but her legs didn't seem to be her own, she got up from her seat and followed closely behind.

In fact, even Miaoyu could not refuse the words of "orders" from the young dignitaries.

In the original book, "humiliating" Jiamu's Lu'an tea, Miaoyu, who is as arrogant as Miaoyu, has to say soft words. It depends on who.

Seeing this, Xichun frowned, doubts arose in her heart, hesitated for a while, then whispered a command to Ruhua beside her, and followed her on tiptoe.

Jia Heng went first, walked along the chasing corridor to the end, turned from the moon gate into an octagonal pavilion, stood still, then turned to look at Miaoyu, his eyes were calm, and he didn't speak.

Miaoyu is slender and slim, with an elegant temperament like orchid.

A hair like a waterfall of green silk curled up in a wonderful bun, revealing a forehead as smooth as jade, which made the girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly mature a lot, and her pair of eyes, which were as quiet as lotuses, did not have much emotion, perhaps she had already suppressed it. Going down, clasped palms together, said a Buddha's name, and asked: "Master Heng, do you want to find a poor nun?"

Jia Heng just looked at Miaoyu with a quiet expression, exerting pressure in the silence.

Until Miaoyu looked at the face against the setting sun, he hesitated to speak.

Jia Heng said, "Miss Miaoyu, what do you think of Sister Xichun's temperament?"

Miaoyu pondered for a while, unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Miss Xichun, she is young, she is extremely intelligent, her speech is sublime, and she has a lot of wisdom."

This can be regarded as an evaluation without lies under Jia Heng's pressure.

Jia Heng nodded and asked, "Have you often talked with her about Buddhism recently?"

Miao Yuxiu frowned, hearing the aggressive tone of the young man opposite, coupled with the "oppressive" attitude above, her voice gradually became a bit indifferent, and asked, "Is Master Heng interrogating the poor nun?"

After all, she is a lady of an official family, so she should hide her arrogance and not be insulted lightly. Even Mrs. Wang said Miaoyu, "Since you are a lady of an official, you should be more proud."

"I'm not interrogating you." Jia Heng walked to Miaoyu's side, sighed softly, his eyes fell on the overlapping rockery, and said leisurely: "Sister Xichun lost her mother when she was born, and her father is obsessed with burning alchemy and practicing mercury. , the elder brother is ungrateful and ungrateful, and doesn't care about her, except for the old lady of the West Mansion who gives her love and the other sisters play with her, she has no close friends since she was a child... Once you enter the mansion, she likes you with a noble temperament and regards you as a confidant My friend, I only hope that Ms. Miaoyu can be a good teacher and helpful friend, so that Sister Xichun can always think about the open place, and you need to know that there are elder sisters who care about her, so you don't need to be lonely and suffer."

At this moment, Xichun, who was separated by a wall, listened to the boy's words, her petite body trembled slightly, her pretty face showed surprise, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Miaoyu raised her eyebrows, her jade face was slightly frosted, and said coldly: "Master Heng is pitying her?"

Jia Heng said: "It's not pity, but love. Since she called me brother, I will do my duty as brother."

Miaoyu heard the words, looked at the boy standing with his hands behind his back in complicated eyes, and said quietly: "But as far as the poor nun knows, the brother of Xichun has today's fruit, which is the cause of the dispute with Uncle Heng."

Jia Heng's expression was calm, and he said: "It's two different things, and it doesn't matter if Jia Zhen is an elder brother or not to her."

Then, he turned to look at Miaoyu, and said: "Miss Miaoyu, she regards you as a confidant, I just hope you can enlighten her from time to time, don't talk to her about Buddhism, Zen enlightenment, escaping from the world, but talk more about Jiangnan The local customs, anecdotes and anecdotes... I only hope that she can be safe and happy in this life, and that she will marry and have children like a normal woman in the future. Sister-in-law, green lantern and yellow scroll, do you know?"

At this moment, Xichun, who was separated by a wall, listened to the young man's words, and the tears in his bright eyes burst out.

Marry and have children, be safe and happy...

Miaoyu was equally shocked and moved when she heard the young man's words. After a while, a feeling of jealousy arose in her heart, and she said coldly, "But what if I insist on getting her to become a monk?"

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, glanced at Miaoyu, and said coldly: "Your six sense organs are not clean, your relationship is not broken, and you still can't cross yourself, how can you talk about crossing others?"

In Xing Xiuyan's words, Miaoyu monk is not a monk, vulgar is not vulgar, women are not women, men are not men, what is the reason.

He has deep-rooted love for Baoyu, and gave Baoyu all his cups.

Miaoyu heard this, or was irritated by Jia Heng's contemptuous attitude, her cheeks flushed, and she said in embarrassment: "You...how have I ever been impure and my relationship has not been broken?"

Already somewhat distraught by being poked at the center of things.

Jia Heng looked up and down Miaoyu, who was "beautiful as orchid, and as talented as a fairy", his eyes lingered on the earhole on the earlobe, and said: "If you want to be clean, the sky may not be empty. Miaoyu, if you shave, I still believe in you."

When Miaoyu heard the words, which were obviously calm but were extremely joking, sarcasm, and scrutiny, her cherry lips trembled subconsciously as if struck by lightning.

In the original work of the Red Chamber, Baoyu once borrowed Xing Xiuyan's words, saying "Even if there is an iron threshold for a thousand years, there must be a bun in the end", claiming to be an outsider, and was introduced by Miaoyu as a confidant.

And Jia Heng's words are no longer "friendly" confidant words, but pierce Miaoyu's veil, defeat Miaoyu's psychological defense line, and a heavy blow to Miaoyu's soul!

Who are you Miaoyu, I don't know yet?Stop pretending……

Even if a modern person is seen through by his friends, he will feel out of breath and become angry, let alone the ancients who are reserved and friendly, saying three points and seven points?

Is there anything that can directly hit his heart than the original author's evaluation of Miaoyu?

It is simply psychological "rape"...

This kind of strong offense, combined with an understatement, and the eyes like Gujing Xuantan, is a kind of psychological conquest and oppression.

Miaoyu was ashamed at the moment, at a loss, and even had a feeling of being naked in front of the other party.

A strong sense of shame and an unspeakable faint excitement welled up in her heart, and they intertwined, making Miaoyu's heart tremble a little. Say nothing.

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, looked straight into Miaoyu's eyes without any hesitation, and said: "You are the daughter of an official family, and something happened to your family, if I guessed correctly, your father should be Suzhou Weaving Changjin."

As the governor of Jinyi, wanting to check Miaoyu is almost a matter of one sentence. First, he is curious about Miaoyu's life experience, and second, he is out of safety considerations.

Miaoyu herself lived in Jia's mansion, so there are many doubts about this matter. Such a person of unknown origin lives in his Ningguo mansion, and he goes in and out of the back house. How can he do it without checking?

Besides, after all, he is the Twelve Beauties of Jinling. Compared with Xiangling's background, he can still open the perspective of God. Miaoyu is simply a hidden copy.

"You..." Miaoyu suddenly heard her father's name, her crystal-clear and jade-like face changed abruptly, and her body swayed. It was a name that had not been mentioned in the depths of her memory for many years. It was a painful memory.

Miaoyu's eyes were panicked and angry, staring at the young man as if seeing a ghost.

"I don't mean anything malicious, you don't need to look at your father and enemy with this kind of eyes." Jia Heng eased his expression, stepped forward to help Miaoyu's shaved shoulders, and in his expression of shame and indignation, his face was as calm as ever: " Your father is also considered a famous eunuch, but unfortunately he offended a dignitary. Fortunately, you were able to escape by cultivating in the Panxiang Temple in the Xuan Tomb, but with the temperament of that dignitary, if he finds out that you are still alive, he may not let you go. "

Sometimes I have to say that the world is really small, and the culprit who caused Miaoyu's family to suffer misfortune is... King Zhongshun.

It is the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Suzhou Weaving is connected with, and Suzhou Weaving Chang Jin offended King Zhongshun at the beginning, and his family suffered disaster.

"So some things make sense. In the original book, Miaoyu's teacher told her not to return home, but to wait for an opportunity in Jingjing. Then Miaoyu went to Jia's mansion, and the four kings and eight princes also made Jia's mansion able to fight against King Zhongshun." Jia Heng Thinking, looking indifferent.

This kind of thing is not a big deal to him.

King Zhongshun probably hates him the most now, and he has long wanted to kill this old bastard
