Chapter 1139 Chen Xiao: Needless to say, he probably just went to see Li Wan
.
Jinling, Ningguofu
Jia Heng left the courtyard where Xiuyan was, without stopping, and headed to Miaoyu House instead.
At this moment, the lights in Miaoyu's room are still on. The beauty is wearing a light blue coat. She is sitting on the bed washing her feet. She is stroking her bulging belly with one hand and reading a book casually with her other hand.
Draped over the shoulders, that cold and frosty jade face, because she was pregnant, had lost some of its coldness and became bright and tranquil.
"Susu, is your lady still not asleep?"
"Nope."
At this moment, the conversation between Jia Heng and the little maid Su Su came from outside.
Miaoyu put down the book and turned to look in the direction of the screen. She saw the boy in the python suit entering the hall, and the beauty said in a surprised tone: "Here we come."
Jia Heng's eyes were warm and he said with a smile: "Come here to see you, are you washing your feet?"
While talking, Zang Qi sat naturally on the quilt next to Miaoyu.
Miaoyu frowned her beautiful eyebrows, her bright and jade-like face turned away from joy, and said faintly: "You came from Xiuyan?"
Jia Heng didn't take it seriously and asked: "How do you know? She has taken care of you during this period, so I will go and thank her."
Under Miaoyu's beautiful eyebrows, her clear and clear eyes flickered, and she whispered: "Thank you enough to hug each other? Leave the fragrance on your body?"
Hearing this, Jia Heng smiled, gently took Miaoyu's hand, changed the subject and said, "Master, let me listen to your child."
Seeing this, Miaoyu's cheeks turned slightly red, and she had no time to continue asking about Jia Heng, so she asked, "What can happen at this time?"
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Miaoyu and said, "It's great to feel the child grow up little by little."
Miaoyu stared at the young man, and under the willow leaves' slender eyebrows, a little warmth gradually emerged from her shining eyes.
She was born with an ominous body, and perhaps he could only control her, hoping that the child in her belly would grow up smoothly.
"Master Tai, we will set off the day after tomorrow. You will also pack up tomorrow and send a few more nuns to take care of you." Jia Heng said with a chuckle.
Miaoyu leaned her head in Jia Heng's arms, with a calm look on her face, and said softly: "Who is going?"
Jia Heng said warmly: "As for Xiuyan and Fourth Sister, you three have a good time and can talk to each other on the way to relieve boredom."
Miaoyu said softly: "That's fine."
He was considerate of her, but he was too lively, and I really didn't like it.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to caress Miao Yu's beautiful green hair and said, "It's late at night, let's rest early."
The two said nothing else and slept in each other's arms.
…
…
next day
After Jia Heng and Miaoyu had breakfast, they came to the study again. At this moment, they were looking at the information from Jinyi Mansion, mainly about the itinerary of Queen Song's fleet. Since Xiaoxiao mentioned it to him yesterday, he ordered Liu Jixian
Pay special attention to the Song Empress fleet.
If anything unusual happened, he would immediately set off to meet Empress Song.
Chen Xiao asked: "Do you suspect that Chen Yuan will attack the Queen's fleet?"
When the Queen went south, she was escorted by the inner guards and Jinyifu guards. At the same time, the Beijing camp sent fine cavalry to escort along the way. It was said that there would be no problems.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "It's not impossible. The King of Chu was tricked last time. After arriving in Luoyang, I have to pick him up."
Chen Yuan was extremely hostile to the emperor and his relatives, and if given the opportunity, he would not let go of the attack on Empress Song and Prince Liang who were proposing to Guining.
Chen Xiao took a deep look at the young man and said, "That's fine, I'll go with you then."
It's easy to keep an eye on him along the way.
Chen Xiao suppressed his thoughts and said: "Look at this, Shi Tingzhu, the commander of the Han army flag who was recently sent by the Jurchens to purchase Hongyi cannons, has gone to Jilong Mountain and met up with several pirates entrenched on the big island.
Boss, in addition, according to intelligence transmitted from Liaodong, Hauge and Dorgon have temporarily reached a compromise, and Hauge will lead the North Korean Navy southward to harass our country, Shandong, and the coast of Jiangsu."
Jia Heng took the book handed over by Chen Xiao, read it, frowned and thought: "Shandong Denglai Navy also has 60,000 to 70,000 people. If we add other guards, it will not be difficult to temporarily resist it."
Chen Xiao said: "But we can't let the pirates roam freely in the sea. Otherwise, if you control the military plane, you will definitely be criticized in the DPRK."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "I know that at present, two groups of soldiers and horses are attacking, and the Jiangnan Navy has to resist it in Jinling. Otherwise, in the water war between the north and the south, I, a big man, will inevitably worry about one thing and lose the other. However, if we allocate our troops properly, we can deal with it calmly."
This water war broke out a year ago, and the entire sixteen years of Chongping were basically spent in the war. It can be said that there is no peace, but another wave.
While the two were narrating, Qingwen came in and reported, "Sir, someone outside who claims to be the governor of Jinyi Mansion is here to look for you."
Jia Heng said: "Liu Jixian is here."
After a while, a burly young man wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist entered the hall, cupped his hands towards Jia Heng and said: "Captain, there is an urgent report from Shandong that a large number of Jurchen navy troops are approaching the coast of Denglai.
, Shandong Admiral Yamen sent a messenger to warn the capital governor."
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression changed slightly. He turned to look at Chen Xiao and said, "The Jurchen moves very quickly."
Chen Xiao sighed: "Water wars are inevitable."
Although the Jurchens suffered a defeat a few months ago, the North Korean naval force was not damaged at all. Now Hauge led the North Korean navy to invade in order to respond to the Dutch and pirates entrenched on the southern islands.
.
This move was also an act of sincerity by the Jurchens to further cooperate with the Dutch Red Barbarians.
Jia Heng pondered and said: "Let Shi Nai hold on for a while. It is not appropriate to have a large-scale decisive battle with the Jurchens and the Korean Navy at the moment. Soon, the Jiangnan Navy will return with reinforcements and then expel the Jurchen fleet."
Liu Jixian clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I'll send someone to deliver the message."
After Liu Jixian left, Chen Xiao frowned and said, "Shi Nai is old, can he shoulder the heavy responsibility in the face of the Jurchens who are attacking in large numbers?"
Jia Heng said: "Marquis Baoling is not enterprising enough, and just lacks a little greed for success. On the contrary, it is not easy for the Jurchens to take advantage of him. When the Jiangnan Navy arrives, he will attack the Hauge Navy from the north and south."
"Now it is a two-pronged attack. If the Jiangnan Navy is recalled, the troops besieging Jilongshan will have one less Jiangnan Navy equipped with Hongyi cannons. If the Jiangnan Navy is not recalled, we can only use infantry on the coastal waters.
The stronghold is guarded and cannot take the initiative to attack and annihilate the invading bandits." Chen Xiao said softly.
"The troops and horses of the Guangdong Navy and the naval divisions of Fujian and Zhejiang are almost enough." Jia Heng frowned and said: "But the Hongyi cannon is indeed a problem. If there are no Hongyi cannons, there will be no power on the sea."
The Dutch will also suffer a loss, so why not send a force back first."
The Jiangnan Navy has 55,000 people, the Guangdong Navy has about 40,000 people, and the naval forces in Fuzhou, Hangzhou, and Ningbo also have 40,000 to 50,000 people. Together, there are about hundreds of thousands of people. The rest is the deployment of troops.
How to win the two water wars between the north and the south at the same time.
"The Hauge side here mainly focuses on defense, while the pirates in Jilong Mountain mainly focus on siege and advancing by land and water." Jia Heng thought for a while and decided on a plan.
Chen Xiao nodded and said warmly: "That's a good arrangement, but the war is about to happen recently, why don't you go to Suzhou?"
Jia Heng said: "It's okay, it's just a matter of a few days. The war is urgent, and the New Deal is equally important."
Jia Heng did not stay in the mansion for long. While talking, he went to Jinyang Princess's mansion.
Jinyang Princess Mansion
The eldest princess of Jinyang is holding a swaddling baby. The beauty has a beautiful and plump face, and her smile is happy and sweet.
"Your Highness, Duke Wei is here."
At this moment, Lianxue entered the wing and said to Princess Jinyang.
The eldest princess of Jinyang looked at the boy in the python suit with her beautiful eyes, and said with a chuckle: "Why are you so free today? Come and see me?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "I will leave for Suzhou tomorrow. I will come back to see you and the child."
As he said that, he walked to the cradle and looked at the swaddled baby. As the moon gradually became fuller, the baby became more and more elongated and chubby.
Seeing Jia Heng coming over at this moment, the baby seemed very happy and stretched out two chubby little hands.
Jia Heng held the little hand and said, "Call me daddy."
Princess Jinyang nodded, stepped forward, and said angrily: "He is still young and can't speak yet."
At this time, Chen Xiao came to the eldest princess of Jinyang and whispered: "This time I will probably have to fight the Jurchens and the Hongyi people at sea."
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Jinyang looked a little solemn and asked: "War?"
"The Jurchens mobilized North Korea's navy to deal with the red barbarians on the southern island." Chen Xiao explained the whole story.
Princess Jinyang looked at the boy in the python suit who was holding her son's little hand and said, "Didn't this just happen to be a battle?"
Jia Heng said: "Everything has happened together. There may be another fight before the end of the year or during the Spring Festival."
After this battle, the war on the island will probably be over, and the Han Dynasty will completely gain the initiative in the naval battle.
Of course, the premise is that you can win.
Princess Jinyang said with a worried tone: "Can the national treasury still support it?"
Jia Heng said: "Actually, the situation is not bad. The navy does not consume national funds as much as land troops and horses, but the consumption of food and fodder is inevitable after all."
With the northwest in front and the Korean navy behind, there is no time to spare.
Princess Jinyang thought for a while and said, "If we really have no choice, we can only fight again before the year."
Jia Heng said: "Fortunately, after this battle, there will be no major wars for another year or two, unless the Jurchens invade from northern Xinjiang to the south again."
When Princess Xianning heard that Jia Heng was coming, she also came over holding Li Chanyue's hand and asked: "Sir, when shall we set off?"
Jia Heng smiled and said, "I'll leave tomorrow, and you and Chan Yue will take care of themselves."
Princess Xianning chuckled and said, "Chanyue and I have long wanted to visit Suzhou."
After saying that, he came to the baby, held the baby's hand, and said with a smile: "Little guy, call my second mother to come and listen."
"Nothing big or small." The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned, her plump and graceful face showed embarrassment, and she scolded.
Jia Heng looked strange for a moment and pretended not to hear.
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "Your husband is going to Suzhou to do business, so he may not have time to play around with you two."
With that, he talked about the naval battle.
Princess Xianning said clearly: "Why do we have to fight again?"
Jia Heng said warmly: "This is a water battle. If there is another battle, there should be peace for a while."
At that time, the struggle to seize the direct descendants may also enter a fever pitch?
Princess Xianning said: "Sir, during the past two or three years of fighting in the north and south, you should have a rest."
Jia Heng stayed with the eldest princess in Jinyang to talk to the child until evening, and then returned to Ningguo Mansion.
…
…
It was nightfall in the courtyard where Li Wan lived, and the temperature had gradually dropped. The early winter wind was already biting, blowing the screen windows outside, making a whining sound.
In the wing room, the lights are on, the decoration is exquisite, and the warmth is warm. The orange candlelight spreads like water to the entire wing room.
On the bed next to the window, the young lady Hua Xin was wearing a blue dress. She lowered her eyes slightly and was knitting a scarf in her hands. As winter came, the beauty wanted to knit a scarf for Jia Heng to wear.
Mrs. Cao was sitting not far away, holding the soles of her shoes, putting down the needle with silk thread in her hand, and said softly: "Wan'er, it's been a few days, it's time to come over."
Li Wan raised his gentle face, a hint of resentment filled his beautiful eyes, and said softly: "You must be busy with business these days."
Ms. Cao sighed and said, "Really, so many days have passed in a flash."
Li Wan's eyebrows were filled with a hint of shame, and he said softly: "Aunt Cao, don't be too hasty, I will take the time to talk to him."
Mrs. Cao nodded and said, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
At this moment, the maid Suyun called out: "Uncle Heng is here."
The two people sitting in the room looked at each other with joy on their faces, and then looked at the young man.
After a while, a tall and tall young man in a python suit entered the side room, his face seemed to be covered with a hint of frost under the light of the lights.
"Uncle Heng is here." Ms. Cao smiled.
Jia Heng said: "Come here to see if my sister-in-law has something to do."
As he said that, he stared at the young Hua Xin woman sitting on the bed, and met her shy and timid eyebrows.
There was a hint of surprise in Li Wan's beautiful eyes, and he said, "Brother Heng, are you looking for me?"
At this time, Ms. Cao stood up with a smile, called Suyun and Biyue, and walked outside.
Jia Hengxing came closer, sat down next to the bed, and said, "Is my sister-in-law knitting a sweater?"
Li Wan lowered his head slightly, a blush appeared on his cheeks for some reason, and said softly: "It's cold, so I'll knit a scarf for Brother Heng."
Jia Heng held the slender catkin and felt the softness and tenderness coming from the skin, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Wan."
Li Wan said softly "Hmm" and said softly: "Brother Heng said you have something to tell me?"
Jia Heng said: "It's still a matter of the New Deal in Anhui. Mr. Li is currently inspecting a province in Anhui. I would like to ask him whether he has implemented the New Deal in Anhui."
Under Li Wan's curved eyebrows, his beautiful eyes with a hint of shame showed a hint of joy, and he said softly: "Brother Heng can just ask again when father comes over."
Jia Heng gently pinched Li Wan's chin and said softly: "Wan'er, have you missed me these days?"
Ever since he destroyed the banner in the study room of Daoxiang Village in Shenjing City, he has not spent time with Li Wan in private for a long time.
The beauty obviously misses him.
Li Wanfang's heart skipped a beat, and she felt her delicate body weaken. When the shadow approached, she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, you...don't do this."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes, but for a while he didn't see the young man approaching.
Jia Heng said: "Then I will listen to my sister-in-law."
Li Wan: "..."
Jia Heng took the scarf and looked at it. He said nothing and waited for Li Wan to speak.
Li Wan's beautiful face was as bright as peach blossoms. She pursed her pink lips and felt annoyed, but she had no choice but to say: "Brother Heng, what have you been busy with recently?"
Jia Heng said: "It's just about the New Deal, nothing else. If I don't have anything else to do, I'll go back first."
After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.
"Brother Heng." Li Wan hurriedly took the young man's hand, his brows and eyes filled with shame and anger, and his heart was filled with anxiety.
This person has to force her, right?
Jia Heng pretended to be surprised and said: "Is there anything else that can happen to my sister-in-law?"
Li Wanfang became anxious, her face flushed, and she almost cried. She said softly: "Brother Heng, what do you want to do?"
Jia Hengzhong sat down again, leaned close to Li Wan's ear, and whispered in his ear: "Sister-in-law Wan is also more proactive, just like that day...?"
The words behind him were a little hard to hear.
Li Wan stared at the young man, feeling an indescribable shame in his heart. The embroidered shoes under his dress moved closer together, and he clearly felt the urge to urinate again.
She was distracted and infatuated that day, so she took the initiative to get intimate with her. How could she be so shameless normally?
Jia Heng looked at Li Wan with great interest, his mind far away, and he began to think about the upcoming naval battle in Jiangnan.
But at this moment, he saw that the beauty had closed her eyes, her hands were touching Jia Heng's shoulders, her cheeks were like drunkenness, her curved eyelashes were trembling with shadows, and her pink lips were shining with crystal luster under the light of the lights.
Welcome the general up.
Seeing this, Jia Heng didn't like to play with him.
It seems that the trick just now has cut off the shackles in the heart of the beauty, and when they are intimate, there is a little more response.
After a while, Jia Heng stopped pretending to be a gentleman.
Above the screen, the winter night is long, and a waxing moon pops up from the dark clouds.
The cold wind outside the window is blowing the sycamore trees, and the branches and leaves are dancing, shadowy and shadowy, like gossamer.
After a long time, Li Wan gently covered his slightly messy clothes, his elegant and beautiful face was flushed, and at some point, he spoke in a low voice like a mosquito, "Brother Heng, how about I
Let me serve you."
Jia Heng: "..."
This is a high degree of consciousness.
After a while, Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the beauty and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to talk to you about something."
Li Wan responded softly, a bone-cutting grunt came from his nose, and he seemed to be hesitating a little.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the beauty, his gaze sometimes focused, and he said thoughtfully: "I will visit Suzhou Mansion in the next two days."
After a while, Li Wan came closer, his delicate eyebrows and jade-like cheeks were as red as clouds, as gorgeous as cloud brocade, covering the entire western sky, and said in a trembling voice: "Zi Yu."
Jia Heng said softly: "Didn't my sister-in-law always insist on doing it by herself?"
Li Wan: "???"
No, who wants to do it by himself? Why is Ziyu so bad...
But the young woman's heart, which was originally like a dead tree, gradually started to burn with Jia Heng's repeated attempts to fan the flames.
Jia Heng's face was calm, and his eyes showed no abnormality at all. He said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law Wan, wait a moment and it will get dark."
Li Wan's beautiful jade cheeks were blushing like a blush. They were so beautiful and bright under the light of the lamp. When he saw the young man lying down like an uncle, he had no choice but to bite his lips and act accordingly.
It turned out that I had been tossing and turning, sleeping hard and thinking for a long time. Now I met the old friends again, holding hands and looking into each other's tearful eyes, I was speechless and choked.
Jia Heng felt the happy reunion over the pot of wine, and his expression turned strange, and he was a little surprised. He stared at the beauty's elegant face. At this moment, Li Wan had already closed his beautiful eyes, and said warmly under his curved eyelashes.
: "Wan'er, how are you doing in your mansion recently?"
Li Wan closed his eyes tightly, his cheeks were as red as drunkenness extending to his beautiful neck, his tone of voice gradually became higher and lower, and his voice trembled slightly, he said: "Everything is fine in the house, brother Heng, don't worry too much.
.”
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "That's good."
Li Wan snorted softly, opened his beautiful eyes slightly, and looked at the young man shyly.
Li Wan suddenly bit his lips and said, "There...there is something I want to tell Brother Heng."
Jia Heng's eyes were heavy and he asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
"Brother Heng, my two cousins are not young anymore, they have reached the age of many people." Li Wan said softly.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said in surprise: "Have you ever promised me?"
Li Wan said in a trembling voice: "Not yet. Aunt Cao said that she would give Zi Yu a concubine. I think that's okay. I wonder what Zi Yu wants?"
Jia Heng said: "The two of them are still young, so there is no need to rush at this moment. Let's talk about Uncle Li's opinions. We haven't said yet. How can a girl from a scholarly family be a concubine? I don't know.
And...it will bring about so many ups and downs."
It was indeed ups and downs.
Although he is the Duke of the country, there is only one wife named Keqing, so Baochai needs to pay a huge price for his royal title.
Li Wan's face turned red, she bit her lip with her teeth, and said softly: "Father, I don't think I would disagree."
Jia Heng's expression paused and he said, "How about I ask Mr. Li to ask Wan'er to marry me instead?"
When Li Wan heard this, his delicate body, which was originally as soft as mud, felt as if it had been struck by thunder, his heart was pounding, and he was filled with inexplicable surprise.
She remarried him, my God, what... was she going to do?
Maybe after he becomes the king of the county, he can secretly take her in and give her a royal title as his wife?
The beauty thought like this, and her mind was filled with thoughts for a while.
Jia Heng's face was slightly startled, his eyes tightened, his expression turned slightly strange, and he whispered: "Forget it, it won't harm Wan'er's reputation."
Li Wan: "..."
Hasn't her reputation been ruined now?
Jia Heng said warmly: "Now is not the right time to get engaged. The two sisters Wenqi are still young, so there is no need to rush."
Li Wan's voice was already a bit sweet and delicate, and he said: "Brother Heng, how do I get back to Aunt Cao?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Let's talk about the future things later. The two of them are still young. Let's stay in the garden for another two years before we talk."
Li Wan's beautiful eyebrows stretched a little, and after listening to the ambiguous words, she gradually understood. The beauty sighed quietly in her heart. Men are indeed the same, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot.
Jia Heng didn't say anything else. He hugged Li Wan tightly and whispered softly: "Sister-in-law Wan, it's getting late, so you should go to bed early."
When Li Wan heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but say: "Brother Heng."
However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.
Time passed until late at night, when the bright moon of the winter night was hidden behind the dark clouds, and the cold wind blew the eaves and tiles, making a whining sound.
Until Haishi, Jia Heng did not stay in the wing where Li Wan was. He put on his clothes and returned to the study to prepare for the night.
As it is now, I can't go anywhere. Fortunately, the early winter night is long.
I just made a cup of hot tea, took a volume of military literature, and read it under the lamp.
At this moment, Jia Heng suddenly heard familiar footsteps coming from outside and asked: "Xiaoxiao, are you back? Well, why is there still..."
Chen Xiao entered the hall, and under his willow eyebrows, his clear eyes raised a dim light and glanced suspiciously at the young man sitting upright.
This stock...
Needless to say, he probably just went to see Li Wan.
