Chapter 411 Sister Feng: She is also a woman, why does she...

Ningguo Mansion

In the courtyard where Xichun lived, it was in the evening, Xichun and Miaoyu were sitting under the window, playing chess across a chess field, the golden sunset passed through the carved window lattice, and was projected on the chess field.

Xichun was holding a chess piece in her slender hands, hanging on the chessboard, she frowned slightly, feeling restless.

Miaoyu is wearing a round-neck monk robe with white crane silk pattern and wearing a Miaochang bun. She has a beautiful appearance and a clear temperament. She has a crystal-clear jade face without makeup. She stared at the little girl with bright eyes and white teeth, and asked: " Today, why are you absent-minded?"

Xichun put down the chess pieces, couldn't help turning her eyes to look at the sky outside the window, and said softly: "Maybe I'm a little sleepy."

Miaoyu paused for a moment, but somewhat understood the reason, and said, "It's not that he has just been promoted to be the deputy envoy of Jiedu in the Beijing camp, maybe he has been busy with official duties these two days, so he has no time to come, so it is possible."

The day before yesterday, Jia Heng had promised Xichun to come and tell stories to Xichun, but yesterday he didn't come because he had just taken over as the deputy envoy of the Jingying Jiedu and went to Daiyu's place for a banquet in the evening.

Of course, Qingwen was also sent to inform later, but in fact Xichun was released.

The little girl was full of anticipation, but she didn't see anyone, and she felt lost. She was still looking forward to it today, but she still didn't see Jia Heng coming, so it was inevitable that she was a little out of sorts.

Although it didn't rise to the level of "I didn't do what I promised", there was still sadness.

Xichun pursed her cherry lips, seeing disappointment on her pretty face, said in a low voice: "Yesterday, it was a good agreement."

Miaoyu was silent for a while when she heard the words.

She felt that the girl in front of her was more attached to that Uncle Heng than her siblings...

Putting away the chess pieces, he said: "Let's not play now, it's getting late, it's time for dinner."

Originally, the two still ate together at the same table, but because Jia Heng asked Miaoyu to eat separately from Xichun.

Xichun also gathered the pieces from the chessboard, and Ruhua came to help.

But at this moment, the maid Cai'er came over from the outside, with joy on her face, she said with a light smile: "Miss, Master Heng is here."

Hearing this, Xichun's face, which was originally covered with frost, suddenly turned into a clear and snowy face, and the corners of her brows and eyes were filled with joy, but she just stood up and immediately sat down.

Miaoyu's delicate body trembled slightly, she raised her beautiful and peaceful jade face, and looked at her prestige.

After that day, she felt restless, and she wanted to ask that person the whole story of her father's case.

When Miaoyu's family was in decline, she was still practicing at the Panxiang Temple in Xuantou, but she didn't know the specific festivals between her father Suzhou Zhizao and King Zhongshun.

Not long after, behind the screen, a tall and handsome young man walked in.

The young man was wearing a group-patterned Luozhang python suit, and a black cloak outside. His eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. He was holding a wooden box in his hand, and he didn't know what was inside.

In fact, it was only when Jia Heng came back from Jinyi Mansion that he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have continued to tell Xichun the story yesterday.

But there is no way, with more and more errands on his body, there are more and more things he needs to think about, and the free time is actually getting less and less.

After thinking about it, I plan to come over to have dinner with Xichun today.

Jia Heng entered the wing room, glanced at Miaoyu, who was sitting quietly aside, with a cool demeanor, smiled, and called: "Master Miaoyu."

Miaoyu's temperament is cold and arrogant, and occasionally teasing her is actually... quite interesting.

Miaoyu stared at Jia Heng with her clear eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows, clasped her palms together, returned a salute, and asked, "Master Heng, where did this come from?"

Jia Heng said: "It's where I came from."

Miaoyu's expression paused, she pursed her pink lips, looked at the young man, and said mockingly: "It seems that he must have gone somewhere."

Jia Heng smiled, but did not respond.

Miaoyu: "..."

This person is always like this, just to play tricks on her.

Jia Heng untied the cloak, handed it to the maid at the side, sat down on the embroidered pier, and looked at Xichun with gentle eyes.

The original joyful expression on Xichun's cold and pretty face has long been hidden away, and the hand hidden in the sleeve is holding a corner of the handkerchief, staring at Jia Heng, and asked crisply: "Brother Heng, why are you here today?" ?”

How are you here today?The meaning is why I missed the appointment yesterday.

Jia Heng said: "Sister, I was a little busy yesterday, so I didn't come here. I just have time today. I will have dinner with my fourth sister later."

Xichun nodded and said, "Then I'll ask the kitchen to cook more meals."

For some reason, as soon as he saw the young man approaching, the disappointment that had been buried in his heart disappeared.

Seeing the two talking, Miaoyu walked aside, picked up the teacup, poured herself a cup, and looked silent.

At this time, Jia Heng put the wooden box he brought with him on the small table, met Xichun's curious eyes, and said: "This is on the way back, I think I haven't given anything to my sister, I bought it specially, I don't know Does my sister like it?"

Hearing the words, Xichun's pretty face suddenly changed, her heart skipped a beat, she stared at the gift box, her voice trembling slightly, and asked: "Brother Heng... what's in it."

Miaoyu put down the teacup in her hand, and turned her eyes to look, the eyes hidden under the slender eyebrows of willow leaves were a little curious.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Sister, why don't you open yourself up and have a look?"

Saying that, she pushed it to Xichun's hand.

Hearing this, Xichun paused, raised her eyes to look at the young man, met that warm gaze, quickly lowered her eyelids, and pretended to reach out to pick it up for a closer look, at this moment, her heart was already beating wildly stop.

I don't know if it was the surprise of opening the blind box, or the anticipation beside it, my little hands trembled somewhat.

Gently opened it to look, only to see that in the brocade box lay quietly a pair of crystal clear jade articles, clearly a pair of bracelets.

For a moment, Xichun's breathing was slightly stagnant, and her eyes were as bright as water, and she was a little at a loss.

give her a bracelet...

Jia Heng said softly: "Jade can support people, let the fourth sister wear it."

On the way, he thought about the 21st of the first lunar month, which was Baochai's birthday, and what should he give him.

Then, after wandering around a gold, silver and jade jewelry store in Nancheng for a while, it suddenly occurred to him that he...has never given Keqing any jewelry or jade.

Then he chose some jewelry, a ring for Keqing, and a hairpin for Baochai. After thinking about it, he decided to buy a pair of bracelets for Xichun.

Because, no matter whether it is gold hairpin, sachet, hairpin, comb, or earrings, they are not very suitable for giving to Xichun.

Only bracelets have less special meanings, especially bracelets in pairs. If the elders give the younger generation, it means peace, happiness, and happy reunion, and has no other meanings.

At this time, Xichun looked at the bracelet in the brocade box, for a moment, she felt a little hot on both sides of her cheeks, waves of surprise and embarrassment arose in her heart, the disappointment of yesterday disappeared like smoke.

Jia Heng said softly: "The fourth younger sister has always been a quiet one, she can wear it on her body at ordinary times, and she doesn't have to worry about bumps and bumps. Younger sister, try wearing it and see if it suits you."

Hearing the young man's soft words, Xichun felt a little bit ashamed, nodded her head "Yes", suppressed the joy and excitement in her heart, picked up the bracelet, passed it through her slender, white wrist, and put it on her snow-white skin. With the jade bracelet, the skin looks whiter and greasy, but the arms are a bit slender.

Miaoyu watched this scene from the sidelines, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and her bright eyes were momentarily dazed.

There was an unreasonable irritability in my heart, I quickly lowered my eyelashes, and secretly chanted Buddha.

Seeing that Xichun had put it on, Jia Heng said softly, "Sister, let's continue with the story from the day before yesterday."

Xichun's face was bright and beautiful, looking at the boy opposite, she gave a soft "hmm".

At this time, the little girl serving Miaoyu brought a cup of fragrant tea.

In fact, Miaoyu was originally accompanied by a little girl and a nanny, not a maid from the Jia family.

By the time Jia Heng continued what he said last time, it was getting late and it was time to light the lamps.

Jia Heng also picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, moistened his throat, and said, "Let's go here first today."

Xichun was still immersed in the story, her pretty face was in a daze, upon hearing this, she turned around and asked Ruhua beside her: "Dinner should be ready."

It should be a chuckle into the painting.

Jia Heng felt something in his heart, turned his eyes to look at Miaoyu who was sitting on the small table beside him, listening quietly, and asked into the painting: "Have you prepared a vegetarian meal for Miss Miaoyu?"

Ruhua was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "The back kitchen will bring it here."

Miaoyu also turned around, looked at Jia Heng, and said: "Master Heng can be used by Xichun, poor nun should go back to her room first."

Saying that, she got up to leave, and her exquisite figure disappeared into the distance.

Xichun Ying moved her lips and said softly: "Brother Heng, don't make fun of Sister Miaoyu."

But she remembered the day before yesterday, when the person in front of her listened to the words that Miaoyu's six senses were not clean and her love was not broken.

Jia Heng smiled, took a seat opposite Xi Chun, and said, "I didn't really make fun of her, why did you call her sister again?"

Xichun lowered her bright eyes, and said softly: "She is a few years older than me, and she is doing cleaning at home. Since she is in a secular family, it is only right for me to call her elder sister."

If she called Master Miaoyu like that, Brother Heng would probably not like it.

Jia Heng looked at the young girl with a smirk on her face, and couldn't help laughing: "It's not wrong to say so."

At this time, the servant girl at the side was serving the two of them to clean their hands.

The two of them bowed their heads and ate their meals, chatting from time to time.

After dinner, Jia Heng glanced at the sky outside and said, "Sister, let's come here first, if you are not busy tomorrow, come here."

Learning from yesterday's lesson, you still can't talk too much, otherwise you might let the arrogant and petite Lolita dove.

Xichun nodded, with some reluctance deep in her soft and watery eyes, she said softly, "Then I'll send Brother Heng off."

Said, sent Jia Heng out of the wing.

Back in the wing room, Xichun turned back and sat on the bed, with the lights on, looking down at the bracelet on Ningshuanghao's wrist in a daze, feeling both sweet and at a loss for no reason.

Ruhua smiled and said: "Girl, it's strange that they said that the uncle really loves you the most. I watched the third girl help Uncle Heng with things every day, and I didn't see the uncle give her anything."

When Xichun heard this, her eyelashes trembled, her face turned bright red, she quickly put down her sleeves, and said angrily, "You are the only one who talks too much."

However, the words that entered the painting also paused word by word in the heart lake, knocking ripples again.

Just as she was about to speak, she raised her eyes and saw Miaoyu stepping into the room.

Xichun raised her eyes to look at Miaoyu, and said in surprise, "Sister Miaoyu."

Miaoyu looked at Xichun, then suddenly said: "He treats you differently from others."

Xichun: "..."

This nonsensical sentence made Xichun feel inexplicably ashamed.

Miaoyu sat opposite, also continued to "joke", and said softly: "Let's play chess."

Xichun let out a "huh" and suppressed strange thoughts.

The night is as cool as water, and the wind and shadow are swaying.

At the beginning of Xu, Jia Heng stepped out of the Xichun Courtyard, went back to the outer study first, took the ring he bought, turned back to the backyard, and just opened the curtain to enter the inner hall, when he saw Qin Keqing, Second Sister You, and Third You Sister and Sister Feng are talking.

The servant girls Ping'er, Baozhu, and Ruizhu were serving refreshments.

After listening to the play these days, Sister Feng would go to Ningfu to chat and play with Qin Keqing as long as Mother Jia was tired and went back to have an early rest, as if she regarded Ningfu as her own home.

Sister Feng looked at the young man with calm demeanor and clear eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Heng came back from the yamen?"

Jia Heng said: "It's been a while since I came back, and I sat with the fourth sister for a while."

While sitting down, he asked, "Second brother Lian hasn't come home these days?"

The smile faltered on Sister Feng's face, and said: "He's been busy with a big business these two days, and he still has some leftovers. He'll be back tomorrow."

Third Sister You listened to the conversation of the two with a thoughtful look on her face.

Qin Keqing's soft and beautiful face was full of emotion, and said: "Fourth sister, I don't see her very often, and she doesn't come often when I call her. She often stays with Master Miaoyu. Husband can go and sit down."

Sister Feng sighed: "Fourth girl, you are a bit cold-tempered, and you also followed the old lady when you were young, and now you are living in Dongfu, it would be good if Brother Heng could visit her more."

In Sister Feng's view, this is Jia Heng's attempt to show the tolerance and self-cultivation of the new master of Ningguo.

Third Sister You had sharp eyes at the moment, she saw the brocade box in Jia Heng's hand at a glance, she was curious on Yan Ye's jade face, she asked with a light smile, "What is Master Heng holding in his hand?"

After saying this, Qin Keqing, Second Sister You, and Sister Feng also looked at the things in Jia Heng's hands.

Jia Heng looked at Qin Keqing and said, "I bought it for you on the way back."

Qin Keqing was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, as if she couldn't believe it, she forgot to answer it.

Third Sister You, who was on the side, had beautiful eyes and said with a delicate smile, "Sister Qin, open it and have a look."

Since that day, Third Sister You has called Qin Keqing her elder sister, even though she is actually older than Qin Keqing.

Qin Keqing also let Third Sister You call her around, which made Sister Feng a joke at first, but Third Sister You has always been a pungent person, and she is not afraid of Sister Feng.

Sister Feng looked at the brocade box and said with a smile, "It looks like jewelry to me, but I don't know if it's earrings or hairpins."

Her family's Lianer, even when the husband and wife were most loving, never gave her any jewelry.

I don't know how many jewelry I gave to other bastard wives.

After thinking up to this point, the smile on Sister Feng's face was a little unnatural, and she felt angry.

In fact, according to the original book, not only did Jia Lian not give Sister Feng jewelry, but she also stole Sister Feng's gold collar to pawn the silver.

Qin Keqing came back to her senses, her jade face was bright red immediately, her beautiful eyes were full of autumn waves, she took the gift box, opened it gently, and looked at it under the light, only to see one of the golden butterfly pattern rings, shining brightly and dazzingly.

"Husband..." Qin Keqing's delicate body trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at the boy opposite.

Jia Heng said, "Keep, I'll put it on for you."

Looking at my wife's flushed cheeks because of the excitement, I can't help feeling a little bit emotional in my heart. Even a husband and wife need to buy some gifts as daily surprises.

Third Sister You was also attracted by the gleaming ring, her eyes glowed brightly, and she was holding a handkerchief, feeling both envy and joy in her heart.

Second Sister You also showed a look of envy on her soft and charming face.

Jia Heng took Qin Keqing's slender hand and put it on at his ring finger.

Seeing this, Sister Feng on the side had a complicated expression, envy almost overflowed in her eyes, and even a trace of jealousy arose in her heart.

A big man who is a butcher for officials outside, is so considerate to his wife when he comes back, such a gentleman is really rare in the world.

Also, Keqing is already Gao Ming's wife, but she...is nothing.

She is also a woman, why does she...

The more girlfriends, the stronger this unbalanced psychology.

Jia Heng looked at the ring on Qin Keqing's hand, and was a little pleased. He felt that something was missing before, and found that it was a wedding ring.

Qin Keqing's jade face was like a hibiscus stamen, because her heart was in full bloom, her cheeks were rosy, making her more beautiful and charming.
