Chapter 1307 Chen Xiao: When did the second wife of King Xing,
Shenjing City, Rongguo Mansion
Everyone in Rongqing Hall also turned their attention to the boy in the python suit.
I saw Jia Heng and Sister Feng entering the Rongqing Hall. Jia Heng saluted Jia Mu who was sitting on the Arhat bed and said, "I have seen the old lady."
Mother Jia's old face was filled with a kind smile, her eyes were filled with joy, and she whispered softly: "Brother Heng, you are back."
Jia Heng said warmly: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a while, and the old lady has really become healthier and healthier."
He had been to Rongqing Hall so many times, and he was no longer the same uncle Heng who held a sword in Rongqing Hall to question Jia Mu.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "I don't have anything to worry about in this backyard. I can't compare to you running around and working hard outside."
Jia Heng exchanged a few words with Jia Mu and sat down. At this time, Yuanyang took a cup of tea and said softly: "Master, please have some tea."
Jia Heng nodded and looked up at the tall, slim beauty with an oval face, feeling longing for her in her heart.
Yuanyang was waiting for Jia Mu and didn't mention much about the relationship. It seemed that she was enjoying these quiet and peaceful times.
In other words, there is also a desire to repay gratitude.
"Brother Heng, you, Miss Lin and Miss Bao need to take care of your marriage when you have time. It's not a big deal that the marriage has not been consummated. The two girls are getting older after talking about it.
Outsiders don't know what to think." Jia Mu said with a smile.
Not far away, Chai and Dai, who were sitting on the embroidered pier, heard the mention of their marriage. Their beautiful cheeks turned red with shame. They looked at each other and wanted to get up and leave the wing.
On the other hand, Li Wan on the side smiled and persuaded Chai and Dai who were about to leave. He chuckled and said, "You should also listen to the wedding arrangements so that you can be well aware of them."
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "The marriage of Princess Le'an and Princess Yaruo should be completed on the fifteenth day of August. The marriage of Sister Xue and Sister Lin should be held on the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival."
"
Putting it all in one day, it was really hard to get there in time, and there was a groom and four brides getting married at the same time. He was in the middle? It formed a five-pointed star.
Jia Mu thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's fine. It's a good time to prepare. You can't be too hasty."
Jia Heng said: "Because Princess Le'an is the daughter of the clan, the wedding ceremony should be handled by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the two empresses in the palace. Therefore, the marriage should be done at the Ancestral Temple. Sister Lin and Sister Xue got married at the mansion.
"
There is nothing wrong with this, it is nothing more than etiquette.
It is impossible for Chai Dai and Xiao Xiao to marry together, and it is not very suitable.
Jia Mu nodded and said: "I have the same idea. We can handle it at home, but it's not easy to get together with the Tian family."
When Aunt Xue heard this, her fair face jumped, and she felt that some little things in her heart were shattered in an instant.
Originally, I wanted to let Baochai and Daiyu get married together in the Ancestral Temple to enjoy the royal joy, but now it seems that it is difficult to achieve.
There was no look of disappointment on Baochai and Daiyu's faces. In other words, they had already anticipated these things.
Jia Mu asked with a smile: "This time the palace granted marriages to so many people, but there was no mention of promotion? Did you make such a big contribution on that sea? The palace didn't say anything about subsequent rewards?"
As soon as he said this, Aunt Xue, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help but cast a pair of expectant eyes over her.
She also wanted to know when Brother Heng would be granted the title of Prince of the County.
Jia Heng said: "This time for Japan's military meritorious service, Enyinfu'er became the county lord, and there should be no chance of promotion. In just three or four years, from an ordinary commoner to the Duke of the country, the favor is extremely great. Moreover, the title of the county king is not trivial.
We need to wait until Liaodong is truly annihilated before we can discuss merits and awards."
Jia Mu nodded and said: "Yes, the four princes and the eight princes. The old Duke of Guo made such great contributions in the past, but in the end, the merits can only determine the title of the Duke. Of the four princes, which one is not the most capable, established
What a great contribution, so I was granted the title of Prince of the County."
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "It will be enough to destroy Liaodong in peace, and there will only be another one or two years."
Jia Mu smiled and said: "There is no rush. Brother Heng is not very old this year. He was only in his early twenties when he wiped out Liaodong. He was granted the title of a county king and was hereditary. This will ensure the wealth of several generations."
As the saying goes, you have to become famous as early as possible, otherwise happiness will not come so happily.
Jia Heng said: "Don't force those things."
Jia Mu warned: "That's right, don't be blinded by glory and wealth."
Aunt Xue listened to what the two said, and her eyes were blank.
For this hereditary prince, if his daughter gives birth to a son, his grandson will become the prince's son in the future.
Anyway, Na Keqing didn't give birth to a son, so the title must be passed on.
Jia Heng and Jia Mu were chatting together, and they were not aware of the twilight. The lanterns were first lit, and lights were lit everywhere, shining brightly and brightly like daylight.
Jia Mu asked Sister Feng to prepare dinner and said softly: "Brother Heng, Baoyu is not young now. I have tried the imperial examination several times, but there is no result."
Jia Heng thought for a while and whispered: "Old lady, if Baoyu really doesn't want to become an official, he can do something else."
Jia Mu said, "I want to marry him first, and then I can start a career."
Jia Heng gave a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry too much about starting a family. After this year, Mr. Zheng has been in his post in Sichuan for about the same time, and we will see if he can be transferred back to Beijing."
Jia Mu nodded and said: "It would be the best to be transferred back. He is an official in Bashu, so I am not settled at all."
Mrs. Wang, who originally had the presence of the old god, like a clay or wood sculpture, raised her eyes and couldn't help but feel happy.
The master is coming back from the land of Bashu? When he comes back this time, he should be promoted from the third grade to the second grade.
In fact, Jia Zheng was transferred to the third-rank imperial envoy in the local area. After returning to the capital, he was also the third-rank minister. This was the rule of Mokan's transfer.
For Jia Zheng, serving as a minister was not a bad idea.
After dinner, Jia Heng did not stay in Rongqing Hall any longer, got up and left the hall, returning to Ningguo Mansion.
There is no doubt that I will spend the first night home after a long journey with my wife.
I just don’t know what program Xianning has prepared for him right now.
Jia Heng had just left Rongguo Mansion, carrying a paper lantern, walked through the passage between the two mansions, pushed the door and entered Ningguo Mansion, only to see a nanny coming forward and reporting: "Master, Princess Le'an
coming."
When Jia Heng heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and thought to himself, Xiaoxiao is here too, let alone come here to investigate.
While thinking about it, he walked to the study room.
Chen Xiao, wearing a bamboo hat and a green robe, sat beside a long mahogany desk, holding a book in his hand and flipping through it at will. At this moment, he heard footsteps coming from under the eaves of the corridor and raised his eyes.
Jia Heng asked: "Xiaoxiao, you are here."
Chen Xiao's jade face was as crystal clear as snow, and she said, "Come here to see you. I didn't expect that you went to Japan and brought back a female emperor."
Apparently, the princess in charge of Jinyi had learned about some of Jia Heng's activities in the Japanese country.
Jia Heng looked a little unnatural and said: "Things happened for a reason. I am also trying to stabilize the situation in Japan as soon as possible. Marriage is indeed the best way."
"Isn't King Wei accompanying you?" Chen Xiao said.
Jia Heng said: "How can the blood of the Tian family be contaminated by the Japanese? The King of Wei is only afraid of being drowned in the saliva of the civil servants."
The Emperor of Japan seemed to have a noble status, but to a man with a Chinese mentality, unless he was a talented and strategic emperor like Li Er, he would accept him as a concubine.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for the vassal king to accept him.
Chen Xiao looked the young man up and down and said, "I can't help but follow you for a while. It won't make people worry."
Jia Heng came forward, held the slender catkin, pulled it to the pearwood chair, and asked, "How are you doing in Jinyi Mansion recently?"
Chen Xiao raised his cool eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, I have collected a lot of intelligence from all over the world. Since the defeat of the Japanese country, the Jurchens in Liaodong have been in a state of distress. They have fully shifted to a trend of contraction and are preparing to work hard to conquer.
Defeat North Korea again."
Jia Heng's eyebrows were raised, his eyes flashed aggressively, and he muttered: "Then I should go to Tianjin Guard and Denglai Guard to practice naval training. It should be the right time for me to go."
Chen Xiao said: "First seize the opportunity at sea, and then take advantage of both land and water?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "That's about it. We will go there after the wedding. The longer we stay in Beijing, the greater the risk."
Anyway, he doesn't dare to hook up with sweet girls now, because theoretically, the deeper the entanglement, the easier it is to expose his existence.
Since his return, he has developed firecrackers and led some arms inventions, which are undoubtedly much more important than this.
"Can't you just settle down a little bit? The warblers at home are not enough for you? Are you going to play with fire and burn yourself? Provoke that person?" Chen Xiao turned his eyes and glanced at Jia Heng coldly, and said in a cold voice.
The eldest girls and young wives of the Rongning and Ning houses were almost all taken care of by him.
When did the second wife of King Xing and Mrs. Shi...
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoqing raised his brows and felt a chill in his heart.
If it really got to that point, she would have to use a sword to cut off his right and wrong roots. It would be too... crazy.
Jia Heng coaxed Chen Xiao and said softly: "Okay, I understand, I really won't play with fire this time."
Sweet girl was just like that, he was tired of it.
Now he only has the ambition to achieve his goals and has no other thoughts. He just wants to run to the throne of the county king and display his ambitions. This feeling of being in control of life and death and being on tenterhooks is not a good feeling.
Jia Heng said, stretched out his hand to take the beauty's slender hand, and said: "Xiaoxiao, now I am also walking on thin ice, and it is very cold at high places."
Well, Brother Bo Bing.
Chen Xiaorudai raised her beautiful eyebrows, raised her crystal clear eyes, glanced coldly at the young man, and said delicately: "You also know that you are walking on thin ice?"
Jia Heng said warmly: "Recently in Beijing, we have mainly developed fire gun manufacturing techniques and some engineering techniques that have really changed the times."
For example, cement is an indispensable tool for infrastructure construction, and the steam engine of the industrial revolution. Come up with ideas, inspire some people, and then see if they can be built.
The former is easy to do, and the ancients have records of burning lime, but the steam engine may still take a long time to burn.
The Jurchens in Liaodong need to be pacified as soon as possible, and precious Chinese energy can no longer be wasted in endless internal fighting.
If he were to rule the world and die at the age of more than eighty years, he would have sixty years of peace, which would be enough to fulfill his great ambitions.
Chen Xiao's fair and jade-like face couldn't help but have a light pink blush on both sides, and asked: "Then when do you plan to get married?"
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to hold up the beauty's smooth and round chin, leaned over to the two pink lips, and gently pecked the beauty's lips, feeling the makeup and powder overflowing, and said softly: "It should be August 15th
.”
Although Xiaoxiao didn't say it, in fact, she was still thinking about her wedding date very much.
Chen Xiao's face, as cold as frost, paused for a moment, looked at the young man with a slightly complicated look, and said, "That's fine."
He is not the heir of the deposed prince, but just the consort. Perhaps this is God's will, and she will not have to bear the criticism of her own clan in the future, and can be on the bright side from now on.
Jia Heng lowered his head and smelled the refreshing aroma of the beauty's green silk hair. He stretched out his hand to gently pick the plump and creamy pear, put it close to the beauty's ear and said, "Where is Xiaoxiao going after this wedding?"
Chen Xiaoni snorted and said sarcastically: "Where else can we go? I will accompany you to Tianjin Guard. If I don't watch you, I might kidnap some empress dowager from the Jurchens."
She heard that Dorgon was already having an affair with Huang Taiji's concubine.
Jia Heng lowered his head and gently pecked the beautiful woman's icy-skinned, elastic face, and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
He has no interest in Bumbutai.
Chen Xiao said softly: "In fact, there is nothing wrong here in Jinyi Mansion. After the rebellion between King Qi and Prince Zhongshun and his son last year, many thousand and one hundred households were transferred. Some old Jinyi Qianhu were transferred to the inner five.
In the Qianhu Institute, the guards in the palace have also changed, and by the way, Jia Yun has now become a Qianhu in the Five Thousand House Station."
Jia Heng's men paused and remained silent for a while.
Is this too obvious?
Under Chen Xiaoliuye's slender eyebrows, his clear eyes were as bright as water. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, Chen Xiao whispered: "He seems to be in poor health, and you have to do your job well."
Be prepared to be discovered at any time. At least don't have any more entanglements recently and stay safe."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I understand."
With that said, he hugged the beautiful woman's slender waist and walked towards the study room.
At this moment, curtains hang on both sides, and on a wooden bed in the middle, the fragrance of powder lingers, making people feel intoxicated.
Jia Heng gently hugged Chen Xiao's shoulders and said vaguely: "Xiaoxiao, long time no see."
Chen Xiao's frosty face gradually became covered with a beautiful blush. She couldn't help but snorted softly, looked at the young man who was like a child, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't you have to go to Ke Qing's house later?"
Bian'er?"
Who would have thought that Keqing is actually the daughter of the deposed prince.
It was really the women from the Chen family that he caught in one fell swoop.
Jia Heng whispered: "Let's talk about it later."
Chen Xiaoqiong snorted, said nothing else, and allowed the young man to be intimate with her.
The cool summer breeze outside the window is blowing on the plane trees, the shadows of the trees are whirling, and the cool breeze is blowing.
Just like this, after rubbing Chen Xiaoer's temples for a while, Jia Heng said softly: "Xiaoxiao."
Chen Xiao opened a gleam of bright eyes, her face was as red as drunk, and she whispered: "I'm going to look for Ke Qing."
Jia Heng said: "Xianning and Keqing are still waiting there."
Under Chen Xiao's curved eyebrows, her clear eyes couldn't help but roll her eyes at the young man, and said softly: "It won't be surprising if you die on a woman's belly one day."
Jia Heng said: "Well, it's not like, hey, you can curse your man like this?"
Chen Xiaoni snorted, and her voice, which was originally as cold as the tinkling of a mountain spring, was a bit sweet and charming, and said, "I am doing this for your own good. I have never known how to cherish myself. I will know when I get older."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Then just don't..."
A man will be a boy until he dies, and he will have to rush to the next mountain and sea later.
Chen Xiao was finishing her dress at this moment. Her originally cold brows and eyes were full of charm, and she said quietly: "Senior sister has arrived in the capital."
Jia Heng wiped the rouge on his neck. Xiaoxiao sometimes felt cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He couldn't help but ask: "Gu Ruoqing? What is she doing in Shenjing?"
I haven't seen that somewhat cold and aloof woman for a year or two.
Chen Xiao paused slightly and said softly: "I just came to Shenjing for a look. I heard that there is an oiran competition, and some new scholars may compete."
As the Han Dynasty achieved great martial arts achievements in border affairs, it also ushered in great development in the field of civil affairs.
A group of scholars have recently emerged in Shenjing. With the support of Jiangnan local gentry, many Jiangnan scholars have also come to Shenjing City, eager to become famous in Beijing.
Jia Heng shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's okay to do this in Jiangnan. The people in the south are open-minded, a powerful place in Shenjing, and have good government and people, so they also do these romantic things."
He never went to the garbage dump to find food, so he never went to a brothel or a brothel. There was also a Nanling that Xiaoxiao insisted on taking.
Chen Xiao said: "Senior sister, she likes these flashy, noisy and cool things."
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, if she meets a young and wealthy romantic man, she will be able to go ashore."
Chen Xiao: "..."
Why do you feel that you are always malicious towards senior sister?
Jia Heng didn't say much, put on his python suit, and quickly left the study.
Chen Xiao sighed quietly.
That’s fine, but what does it matter if it’s a clan with the surname Chen?
…
…
Ning Guo Mansion, in the back house, in the wing room——
Qin Keqing was talking to Princess Xianning, and Li Chanyue on the side was holding Jia Fu and talking.
After serving Jia Heng, the two gradually eliminated their differences and became like sisters.
Princess Xianning frowned her beautiful eyebrows, her clear eyes were full of light, and she said softly: "Sister Qin, I have been living in a family for a while, and my stomach has never moved. I don't know if it is something wrong with my body."
Qin Keqing said: "It was almost the same when I was married. Later, I talked to my husband more and more, and he... not long after, I had a child."
Princess Xianning said: "Sister Qin is saying that Sir, he can control it?"
If you think about it carefully, maybe it's true?
Qin Keqing twisted her eyebrows and said, "When we first got married, they said I was too young to give birth, so I just counted the days, and then I never had a child."
Princess Xianning nodded and said: "Sir, he told me this before, so that should be it."
Qin Keqing said softly: "Yes, it's been a year or two since we met, and it's time to have a child. He can often play with the child when he is not at home."
Princess Xianning responded and whispered: "I think I should have a child. I am not young this year."
Princess Xianning followed Jia Heng when she was sixteen or seventeen years old. Three or four years later, she was already in her early twenties.
Just as the two were talking, they heard a young man's voice coming from outside the hanging bead curtain, saying: "Ke Qing, are you in the house?"
After a while, Qin Keqing's maid Baozhu said: "Grandma, the uncle is here."
Then, a tall and straight figure as tall as a pine tree was reflected on a glass mica screen made of splendid makeup. Soon, under the light of the lights, the young man with clear features and sharp eyes could be seen walking slowly towards him.
Jia Heng asked with a smile: "It's so late and I haven't slept yet."
In fact, I didn’t even want to come over, so I had a quarrel with Xiaoxiao for a while, and now...are these three?
If it's really Xiaoxiao, you have to worry about it.
"Daddy~~~" Jia Fu, who was being held in Li Chanyue's arms, called sweetly when she saw the boy in the python suit.
"Fu'er, let daddy hug you." Jia Heng said, getting close to him, picking up his daughter and kissing her pink face, feeling the soft fragrance.
"Daddy smells so good." Jiafu chuckled, his eyes like black grapes rolling around.
Jia Heng: "..."
This child cannot be held anymore. It can be remedied when he is older.
Qin Keqing snorted softly, her eyes flickered slightly under her eyebrows, and said angrily: "Husband, please put Fu'er down."
I don't know which woman's house he came from. The scent of rouge and gouache on his body should not offend her daughter.
Princess Xianning smiled and asked, "Where did you come from, sir?"
Jia Heng handed Jia Fu to Li Chanyue, sat down on the small table beside him, and said, "I just discussed the marriage with Xiaoxiao."
Princess Xianning nodded her head and said: "After the marriage was granted, it has been delayed for more than a year, and it's time to get married."
