Chapter 678 Qin Keqing: He knows better than anyone else...
In the mandarin duck's room, in the afternoon, the sun was scorching hot, and because there was no ice in the room, it was a bit hot.
Jia Heng ate two teeth of watermelon, it was really watermelon, the flesh was bright red, and the juice flowed horizontally. After taking a bite, he felt chills in his heart. He was about to pick up his handkerchief and wipe his mouth when he saw the girl with fair face like jade, smiling He generously handed over a handkerchief.
For a while, Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, um, he was always the one who gave handkerchiefs to others.
Jia Heng took the handkerchief, wiped her mouth, looked at the girl with a duck egg face, and said softly, "Don't just watch me eat, you should also eat some, it's quite sweet."
"Hey." Yuanyang responded lightly, she was also fascinated by it just now.
He picked up the watermelon and ate it in small bites, his brows and eyes turned into crescent moons, and the few freckles on his face seemed ashamed.
Jia Heng pondered and said: "Yuanyang, I will go to Yangzhou in a few days, and I will also go to Jinling. If you have anything to bring to your uncle and aunt in Jinling, I can send it there too."
In fact, if Yuanyang is willing, he is also willing to take her south.
"Why are you leaving again?" Yuanyangna heard the words, Zhang Bai's greasy duck face was surprised, put down the watermelon in his hand, and said in a worried tone: "It's only been two days since I came back."
"I can't help it, I'm born to work hard." Jia Heng said with a chuckle, and leaned forward, saying: "Don't move, wipe it for you."
As she spoke, she took a handkerchief and gently wiped the watermelon juice on the corners of Yuanyang's lips.
The mandarin duck's cheeks were blushing into a glow, feeling the thoughtfulness of the handsome young man's movements, almost the feeling of being pampered, the bottom of his heart was intertwined with shame and sweetness.
Jia Heng put down the handkerchief, approached, gently took Yuanyang's hand, and said softly: "Yuanyang."
They obviously don't get along much, yet they dote on them like this, and this is the essence of getting along with others. The less we get along with each other, the more special treatment is required.
In fact, among the three of Ping Yuan Xie, in terms of temperament, Ping Er is gentle, Xi Ren is shrewd, and Yuan Yang is sharp, but in terms of height, Yuan Yang should be the tallest among the three. Well, of course, a professional player like Xianning Participation is prohibited.
Yuanyang couldn't help but feel ashamed to be scrutinized by the young boy's warm and affectionate eyes, and said with lowered eyes, "It is true that I have to ask the uncle to bring some things. I told Xiren just now that I haven't seen the second elder in Jinling for a while."
Jia Heng embraced the mandarin duck gently, and said softly: "If you are homesick, you can go to Yangzhou with me. Yangzhou is not too far from Jinling. Let's buy some gifts and go see the elder."
In fact, the mandarin ducks are quite pitiful, and they have been serving Jia Mu until the mandarin duck mother is gone. Jia Mu did not let the mandarin ducks go to the south for the funeral. I can't talk about filial piety and unfilial piety, if he still talks to me..."
No matter what the purpose is to explain, it is unreasonable not to let the mandarin ducks go back to the funeral of their biological parents.
"Master is going to get down to business, how can you take me with you?" Yuanyang was delighted when she heard this, raised her elegant and refined face, bit her lower lip with her white teeth, surprise was seen in her delicate eyebrows and eyes.
But he didn't think about taking her to Yangzhou.
"You have always been a caring person. I took you to serve me. I don't know how much effort I have saved on the way." Jia Heng said softly, and immediately stroked the face of the mandarin duck, and gently stroked the wisp of hair on the girl's ear. Rubbing Juan'er's beautiful hair, he said: "Besides, how many years have you not gone back? People often say that if a son wants to support him but he will not wait for his relatives, he should go back and have a look. If I say so, let the second elder take over and work in Beijing. It's cheaper."
When Yuanyang heard the words, warm currents surged in his heart. Hearing the young man's words, his heart was moved for a moment, and he sighed softly: "The old lady can't leave me now."
Because she was too capable, Jia's mother couldn't leave for a while, even Li Wan and Sister Feng said so many times.
Jia Heng took Yuanyang's hand, looked at the hesitant girl, and said with a smile: "I'll go and tell the old lady, because there is still sister Lin going to Yangzhou to reunite with Uncle Lin, and then go to Gusu to sacrifice My aunt, you are a person in the old lady's room, it's just right to stop by, let's go to see the second elder together."
In fact, thinking a little coldly, Mother Jia might not only ignore Yuanyang's feelings, but also not pay much attention to Daiyu's emotional needs.
Of course, Yuanyang is a servant, but after serving for so long, even a cat and dog...
As for Daiyu, I feel that it is Baoyu's love of the house and Wu, or that Baoyu's feelings are the first thing Jiamu pays attention to. Without examples, the original works can be found everywhere.
And this kind of emotional anatomy, while possessing the cold and sharp beauty of "Wade's extreme rationality", often has bloody cruelty.
Yuanyang nodded, his eyes were absent, and he stared blankly at the young man. For a moment, his nose felt sour, and he felt sweet, touching and a little unreal.
How did she meet such a good person?
Jia Heng gently shaved the high bridge of Yuanyang's nose, and gently leaned closer to her cheek under the girl's staring eyes.
The two were intimate for a while.
"It's noon, you should lie down and rest for a while, I should go too." Jia Heng whispered to the mandarin duck, who was already ashamed and had a duck-ball face, cheeks as red as a peach pistil, and fell softly in his arms.
Hearing this, Yuanyang opened her watery and shiny eyes, and under her beautiful eyebrows, she looked at the young man with a fixed gaze. There was a trace of sweetness in her heart, and there were some imperceptible attachments in the depths of her eyes, and she said softly : "Master Heng, let's go."
The two of them said goodbye in a hurry, if they went south with him, maybe they could spend more time together, right?
After Jia Heng was sent out of the room, Yuanyang just sat down on the kang, straightened the front of her clothes, gently stroked the shiny braids in front of her, her duck-egg face with a few small freckles, she was a little lost in thought.
At this moment, Xiren moved the beaded curtain in from the outside, and the girl's rosy cheeks with radiant skin smiled and asked, "Master Heng is gone?"
Yuanyang turned around and said, "It's already gone, you sit down first, and I will pack up my things."
As he spoke, he came to a few cases and packed up the melon skins.
Xiren sat down on the kang table at the side, looked at the busy mandarin ducks, and said with emotion: "My sister is really blessed."
As she said that, her gaze couldn't help but lose her focus. At the beginning, she and Sister Yuanyang were both in the old lady's room. Later, she tried every means to go to the second master Bao's room. Don't rely on it.
The eldest girl wanted to become a nun, but on the side of the second master Bao, if you are a good horse, you will never turn your head back, and it is not good to go back.
"Things in the world may not all go as you wish, but you can't be too happy." Yuanyang cleaned up the things on the table and said casually, seeming very reserved, but the bright eyes under the curved and slender eyebrows saw joy overflow.
Xiren listened to Yuanyang's words, her charming smile froze like a peach blossom, and was clearly confused by the "Versailles" remarks, approached, smiled and said: "My sister's words are too attractive Hate a little, how can us helpless people live?"
Yuanyang smiled for a while, took Xiren's hand, looked at his playmates who grew up together, and said with a chuckle: "I mentioned you to him just now, and he said to talk to Second Grandma Lian, and let you take care of it." Miss Lin, after three or two years, I will promise you a good home."
When Xiren heard the words, he was overjoyed at first, and then thoughtful appeared in his shrewd eyes, and he murmured, "Take care of Miss Lin?"
Yuanyang whispered: "Uncle is going on a long trip, Miss Lin may also go, perhaps seeing that you went out with Miss Yun and Miss San last time, it was considerate and considerate, so I let you take care of Miss Lin, yes Now, where did you and the eldest girl go to play?"
Jia Heng didn't say these words, but Yuanyang, as Jia's mother's little secretary, has a very high EQ, such comforting words are close and natural, and she also took the opportunity to use the words of attacking people to inquire about the situation of her lover outside, or Talk about some kind of longing for going south with Jia Heng.
"Then I'll go and serve Miss Lin." Xiren heaved a sigh of relief. For a while, he put down his entanglement about the "good home" for the time being, and smiled back at Yuanyang's words, saying: "Sister said The next time, I went to Luoyang, Kaifeng, Miss Yun was fond of playing, and went to many places to play, such as Laojun Mountain, Baima Temple, and other grottoes. There are also many scenic spots in Kaifeng, and Uncle Heng accompanied her. Miss Yun and Miss San have gone, and I have also seen a lot of scenery, by the way, there are also the princess and princess, the two nobles who came to our house last time, my sister has seen it too, right?"
I have seen the big world before, the princess and the princess have seen it.
It can be said that because of this, the girl had a feeling of unwillingness hidden in her heart. Why did she also come out of the old lady's house? Sister Yuanyang can become the aunt of the Jia clan leader, and she can only marry a boy at will in the future.
This is why brokers who have been around the rich and powerful for a long time always think that they have become a member of the circle, or some peripherals, claiming to have seen tigers, and no longer look down on hyenas.
But these people forget that tigers only eat fresh and raw food, and only hyenas are scavengers who are not afraid of maggots and flies.
Yuanyang listened to Xiren's description, her white and snowy duck-egg face was lost in thought, upon hearing this, she nodded her head, and said in a charming voice, "I've seen it several times before, and she looked gentle, kind, and sensible. "
Xiren said softly: "Later, the uncle was busy with official affairs, and it rained all the time in Henan, so he didn't play any more, but later went to Xuzhou, and saw a lot of scenery on the boat."
Saying that, he laughed to himself.
But back then I went to many places of interest in Luoyang, and even accompanied the two princesses to the back garden of the palace to enjoy the summer scenery and row boats on the lake. I really hope for a lifetime of such carefree happiness...
Thinking of this, Xiren pursed his lips, and there was a sense of loss in his originally shrewd brows and eyes.
Yuanyang turned his mind from the scene described by Xiren, and said: "That's pretty good, he said so, I originally wanted to persuade him to let you serve him."
As he said that, he looked at Xi Ren with a pair of smiling eyes, paying attention to the changes in the expression between Xi Ren's eyebrows and eyes. After all, he grew up together, so he still has this observation ability.
Sure enough, Xiren couldn't hide a trace of joy in his eyes, but he said in his mouth: "Sister Yuanyang, when did I have such extravagant thoughts, besides, uncle...he definitely shouldn't."
Yuanyang smiled, just looked at Xi Ren, and said nothing, which made Xi Ren confused and didn't know what to say.
……
……
After that, Jia Heng didn't go to Daiyu's place anymore, and decided to take a good vacation for his... mood. After returning, he walked among the flowers, exhausted both physically and mentally?
Back home, I was going to look at the salt merchant information collected by Jinyi Mansion, firstly to prepare for going south, and secondly to prepare for the war.
When I came to the flower hall, I saw Qin Keqing, Second Sister You, Third Sister You, pink and willow green, Yingying and Yanyan surrounded a table, and there was also a Baochai. The four of them were touching mahjong. After concentrating, a sense of peace arose in my heart, and now it looks like an all-star lineup.
Seeing Jia Heng coming back, everyone looked up at the boy.
"Husband, are you back?" Qin Keqing stood up and asked softly.
Jia Heng nodded, looked at his gorgeous wife in a red dress, sat down, and said softly: "Have you sent someone to deliver a letter to your father-in-law's house?"
"No, after eating, I was talking about playing mahjong with them, but I forgot about it." Qin Keqing suddenly smiled, and said softly.
Where did my husband come from?The smell of incense on this python suit is also very different from the usual ones, this is a variety that has never been heard before.
She knew the smell of cold incense pills on Sister Xue's body, and Sister Xue also took note of the incense on her body, as well as Second Sister You and Third Sister You, Qingwen almost wrote it down.
So, which one is this?
In fact, women's sense of smell is very sensitive, especially for scents that do not belong to them.
Jia Heng swallowed back the words "then play less mahjong" and looked at the beauty's half-smile, and said in a gentle voice: "Then I will send someone to deliver the letter later, and let Jing Qing go there tomorrow too." .”
A few Yingying Yanyan who were playing mahjong had already stopped playing mahjong, with smiling eyes, watching the couple talking.
Qin Keqing smiled, and said softly: "My husband doesn't need to send it again, I just remembered that I had already delivered the letter during dinner, and I thought that my husband has other things to fetter, maybe it's tomorrow. It’s impossible to go, and I’m still hesitating whether to let me know in advance.”
Jia Heng looked warmly, and said softly: "I've been thinking about this for the past two days. I haven't met my father-in-law since I came back for so long. It's just that I just came back, and the official duties of several yamen are mixed together, so I'm a little busy. .”
He obviously sent someone there, but he just said he forgot, and also, the husband has other things to fetter, is it something else, or someone else?
These women have already begun to twist and turn when they speak, just like Baochai's "You know the present and the past, so you know how to plead guilty, I don't know what it means to plead guilty".
Seeing that there was something in the couple's conversation, and those who were holding mahjong, Third Sister You, who knew the details, covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and Baochai also saw a bit of fun in her moist almond eyes.
So, how many yamen?
Jia Heng glanced at the few people, and said softly: "Ke Qing, you guys are playing mahjong first, I'll go to the study to look at the books."
After Jia Heng left, Third Sister You's eyes flickered, and she asked softly, "Sister, uncle?"
Baochai also looked worriedly at Lirui's snowy face to the gorgeous beauty.
Qin Keqing sat on the embroidered pier, picked up a piece of mahjong, and said with anger and annoyance: "He knows better than anyone else that we are playing mahjong, so we don't care about him."
Although the husband...but still put her in an important position.
……
……
Weinan County, Gongling
In the green brick and tile house shaded by the surrounding trees, on a rattan chair, a slightly fat old man was sitting on the rattan chair, flipping through a book, his eyes appearing thoughtful from time to time.
King Zhongshun had been released in the mausoleum since he cut his title, because Chen Cheng, king of Qi County, usually took care of him, and King Chu turned a blind eye. After all, he was an elderly prince, and no one Really let him do hard labor carrying civil engineering.
So King Zhongshun lived a retirement life ahead of schedule, avoiding detours for ten years.
In the past half a year of confinement, he didn't have to work, eat and sleep enough, and King Zhongshun even gained a lot of weight.
King Qi was holding a jug of wine, shaking his fat body, walked into the hut almost like a crab, looked at the old man in plain clothes, and called out: "Uncle."
Because King Zhongshun was deposed from his rank and was abolished as a commoner, so naturally he couldn't be called like before.
"Nephew, are you here?" King Zhongshun put down the book in his hand and asked, "Nephew, what kind of wine did you bring this time?"
Perhaps from the former high-ranking national vassal, the eldest brother of the emperor who was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to the mentality of the current prisoner, the drink can play a self-numbing effect. Recently, King Zhongshun prefers to taste wine from all over the place, it seems In the lonely night, forget the bitterness when you are half drunk and half awake.
"This time it's the green ant wine from the south of the Yangtze River." King Qi smiled, and then called the servant behind him to carry the food box and arrange the wine and vegetables.
Immediately, he personally picked up the jug and poured wine for King Zhongshun who was opposite him. With the sound of "cracking" wine juice flowing, a clear fragrance of wine wafted away.
King Zhongshun was about to raise his wine cup when he suddenly heard King Chen Cheng of Qi County say, "Uncle, does he know that Jia Heng's son has returned to Beijing, and my father has promoted him to a first-class uncle again."
King Zhongshun ate the wine cup in his hand, and there was a bit of hostility on his calm and peaceful face, and he said in a cold voice: "Why did you get promoted recently, my son? How can you be so indulgent and angry, and reward for nothing?"
The imperial tomb is full of busy craftsmen, and there is no news, except that Jia Heng succeeded in suppressing the chaos in Henan last time. After being named Yongning Bo, King Zhongshun didn't sleep well all night.
Duke Qi sighed, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, now that kid has just made a contribution and is in full swing, and now the emperor treats him like his own son, red and purple, my nephew and the king of Chu are both overwhelmed." past."
"It was not an earl before, but now it is given a title. What's the reason?" King Zhongshun said in a deep voice.
King Qi Jun said in a deep voice: "This time, it is said that he has worked hard to control the rivers in Henan and Huaiyang. The emperor said that martial arts are not good for civil servants, so he was promoted to the first rank, which is regarded as reward."
King Zhongshun's eyes were gloomy for a moment, and he said solemnly: "At such a young age, he is already a first-class uncle, and his death is not far away."
Duke Qi was surprised, put down the wine cup, and said, "What do you mean by uncle?"
"Flying birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden, cunning rabbits are dead, and lackeys are cooking." King Zhongshun saw deep thought on his old face, and said in a cold voice: "I wish he could quickly become a marquis, and it would be best to be a county king before twenty. Then there is nothing to seal, no reward to reward, then it will be the disaster of ransacking the family and destroying the family."
The current King Zhongshun is like the Accelerated Party after lying down in despair. He can't wait to step on the gas pedal to the bottom, and immediately wants to watch the fireworks, the chaos in the world, and the blood flowing into rivers.
King Qi Jun pondered for a moment, the small mung bean eyes that were crowded with fat and meat gleamed, and he probably wanted to say Uncle. In this way, the child will show off his might for another 50 years, and then die, will he die with peace?
King Qijun said: "Uncle, you can't just sit back and watch your son become powerful. Fortunately, I heard that the civil servants hate him very much now. Now he is only one defeat away. As long as he is defeated in the Eastern Captive War, at that time, the court will no longer be able to fight." Where he stands."
King Zhongshun nodded, his eyes flickered coldly, and said, "I hope so."
The Bao Liang in the palace really suffered a defeat, his today is the child's tomorrow, no, the child's tomorrow will be even more miserable!
While the two were talking, the little official outside whispered a few words.
King Qi's face moved slightly, and he said in annoyance: "I haven't invited people over yet."
Not long after, I raised my eyes and saw someone coming in, dressed in brocade robes and colorful shirts, in his early thirties, with a refined face, under his frowning brows, his eyes were dark.
The other man was in his early twenties, wearing a warrior outfit, with a treasured sword hanging from his waist. He was tall and tall, with a rough face and a divine light in his eyes.
The middle-aged man in his early thirties was the eldest son of King Zhongshun, whose name was Chen Hong, and the young man in his early twenties was Gao Yong, the son of Sichuan Governor Gao Zhongping. They had just arrived from Sichuan.
King Qijun said: "Uncle, cousin, I will interrupt you, please talk slowly."
Saying that, he gave the little official a wink and left the hut.
King Zhongshun heard the words, looked at his son Chen Hong, stood up, his beard trembling slightly under his chin, and called, "Hong'er."
Since Chen Hong entered Sichuan with his father-in-law Gao Zhongping, several years have passed, except for coming to Beijing every year to celebrate, the father and son seldom see each other.
Of course, King Zhongshun has a lot of power in the capital, he is unrestrained and at ease, and he rarely thinks of the prince who was born to his wife in the early years.
Chen Hong's face was pale, with tears in his eyes, he knelt down "plop", took a few steps on his knees, and saluted: "Father, you have suffered, and your son is late."
Earlier, Chen Hong wanted to go to Beijing, but he was dissuaded by his father-in-law Gao Zhongping, the governor of Sichuan, thinking that there must be changes in the future, so he was asked to pay attention to the situation in the court.
At the beginning of June, as expected, Emperor Chongping issued an imperial decree, entrusting his son Chen Hong to be the king of Zhongshun County, and descended to inherit the title of Zhongshun. Because of the turmoil of the Gongling case, it was considered to be completely settled.
In fact, after the two vassals in Luoyang, Henan Province were severely punished, in order to maintain the decency of the family harmony on the surface, Emperor Chongping showed kindness and benevolence.
The first is to inherit the related clans of the two vassals of Wei and Zheng, and the second is to show kindness to the lineage of King Zhongshun, and the son of the king will inherit the title of the king of the county and return to Beijing with his family.
In fact, the clan is not a major crime of treason, and it is impossible to directly implicate all the children, but the political life of Prince Zhongshun is undoubtedly completely ended.
King Zhongshun quickly approached to support Chen Hong, and said, "Hong'er, get up quickly."
As he spoke, he pulled Chen Hong to sit on the bamboo chair.
"My son has heard about the father and king." Chen Hong looked sad, with tears in his eyes, and a complicated heart.
How confused is the father, how could he have the idea of the mausoleum of the Supreme Emperor?
King Zhongshun sighed, and said, "Hong'er, it's hard to explain in one word. It's just that although being a father is sinful, based on the past achievements, you won't be reduced to the point of becoming a commoner. That little Jia Heng, who was jumping up and down, whispered slanderous words in the ears of the Holy Master, you must avenge me."
Chen Hong said in a low voice: "Father, don't worry, I am coming back this time to seek justice!"
Gao Yong also said: "Don't worry, Uncle, Father also knows about some changes in the court situation, and he is deeply shocked and puzzled."
Gao Zhongping, as the powerful general of Emperor Chongping, knew very well the ambitions of Emperor Chongping after he came to the throne and his attitude towards the founding of the country, which was dominated by four kings and eight princes. The Great Han court called for the wind and the rain, quite surprised.
King Zhongshun turned his eyes to the third son of Gao's family, and said: "My nephew doesn't know something. Now that young Jia Heng is lawless in the court with his meager contributions, and the Holy One is also bewildered by his rhetoric."
Chen Hong frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Father, my son has also inquired about Jia Heng a lot during his visit this time. How did he make such a move at such a young age?"
His father has contributed to the support of the current emperor, not to mention the collapse of the imperial tomb, how could he have suffered a lot from Jia Heng?I heard from the side concubines of several fathers in the mansion that this man led the guards of the Jinyi Mansion to the palace to show off his might, and he was so crazy that he was boundless!
"This little Jia Heng, he is a lucky guy, a shameless guy! He is just an ordinary boy from the Ningguo Mansion, walking the door of your Jinyang Princess Mansion, using the word "Pinglu" to deceive the Holy Majesty. It was just step by step from Jiebuyi to Earl, and not long ago, Henan made some minor contributions, and the Holy One promoted him to a first-class uncle." King Zhongshun said coldly.
As he spoke, he glanced at Gao Yong who was listening carefully, his heart moved, and he provocatively said: "Now, father, I heard from your cousin of the king of Qi that your uncle not only wants to use a young man to kill the captives, but also wants to kill the niece of Xianning." Marry him, just a lucky person."
As soon as this remark came out, Gao Yong, who was originally frowning and thinking, had a gloomy face and said in a low voice: "Uncle said that the Holy Majesty is going to marry Princess Xianning to this Jia Ziyu?"
King Zhongshun made a momentary slip of the tongue, and quickly said: "I also heard that, Xianning went to Henan to accompany Jia Heng's child to suppress the rebellion, and we got along day and night, and now the city is full of trouble."
When Gao Yong heard this, the veins on his forehead popped up, his fists were clenched and creaked.
Gao Yong was born with supernatural powers and practiced martial arts since he was a child. When he was in Beijing with his father Gao Zhongping in the early years, Gao Yong, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, immediately fell in love with Princess Xianning, who was already slim and graceful at the age of eleven or twelve, as his hero. Beautiful and charming.
Later, with his father Gao Zhongping, he went to the governor town of Sichuan. Even when he was suppressing the rebellion of the chieftain in Sichuan, he never forgot about Princess Xianning.
Concubine Duan Rong also mentioned earlier that Gao Yong's mother Zhou Shi wrote a letter asking to marry Princess Xianning.
At this moment, as he gets older, he regards Princess Xianning more and more as a taboo.
"Uncle, what's going on?" Gao Yong asked anxiously.
Zhongshun Wang pondered and said: "I also heard about it, but Jia Heng's son already has a family, and I don't know what the majesty in the palace thought. Maybe he saw that the son had made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion in Henan, so he thought about marrying him." , maybe."
Gao Yong's face was as gloomy as water, and he said, "It's just civil strife, and it deserves a marriage?"
Putting down a rebellion in the Central Plains, but killing some peasants and Ding Zhuang who just threw down their hoes, can even make the emperor in the palace match the princess, it is simply unreasonable!
