In the hall of the back house, there are many gold hairpins, pearls and jade, and the splendid embroidery is brilliant. At a glance, you can see the beautiful flowers, Yao grass, and the fairy flowers of Langyuan.
Jia Heng nodded towards Qin Keqing and said, "I'll go see Momo later."
Speaking of which, Miaoyu is six or seven months pregnant with her second child, and her belly should be very big by now.
In the past two years, this Yanni has had one child after another without stopping, and she has fully enjoyed being a mother.
It should be that his eccentric and cold temperament has been cured.
Qin Keqing chuckled lightly and said, "She's been busy with the pregnancy and child care, and Sister-in-law Feng has been busy, and everything is going smoothly."
Actually, I want to ask Sister-in-law Zhu from Daoxiang Village whether the child in her belly belongs to her husband.
As time passed, Qin Keqing gradually heard the news that Li Wan was pregnant. After asking Sister Feng, she also got the truth.
Jia Heng said: "I'll go take a look later."
Let’s go see Miaoyu first, and then go see Jinyang tomorrow.
Jia Heng was talking to Qin Keqing, Youshi, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You in the room, and the atmosphere was warm and warm.
Not long after, Qingwen quickly entered the hall, a maid with slender shoulders and a slim waist, with a delicate and bright look between her beautiful brows and eyes, almost as mean as usual.
At this moment, he stared at the young man with longing in his tearful eyes. He called out and said: "Sir, the hot water is ready. You can go take a bath."
She hasn't seen the young master for more than half a year.
Since that time, the young master has not looked for her.
Jia Heng nodded, his warm eyes wandered past Qin Keqing and You's three sisters, and said with a smile: "You guys talk here first, I'll go take a bath and change clothes."
Qin Keqing looked intently under Liuye's slender eyebrows and said in a daze: "Husband, go ahead."
Later, her husband will come to find her. After all, she is the legal wife.
At this moment, Jia Heng and Qing Wen were walking slowly along the corridor with red lintels and green railings. In March, the sun was setting in the west, shining on the railings, and their figures, high or low, were reflected on the wall.
The intoxicating spring breeze in the evening, carrying the aroma of soil, flowers and grass, hit their faces, and the sunlight melted and shone on them, making people feel relaxed and happy.
This is one of the few pleasant moments that Jia Heng has had in the past few years.
In these years, we have been conquering the east and west, fighting in the south and the north, without stopping for a moment.
Jia Heng looked at the girl who was walking silently aside, stretched out his hand to hold Qingwen's slender hair, smiled and said: "Qingwen, we haven't seen you for a long time, why are you still getting into trouble?"
Qingwen trimmed her eyebrows, pursed her slightly pink lips, and said, "Young Master, I can't help you after all these years of life and death in the outside world."
Under Jia Heng's sharp eyebrows, his cold eyes were smiling, and he said: "You are a weak woman, what else do you want to help me with?"
"Just like Princess Le'an." Qingwen raised her round, white pointed chin, and her pretty, slightly foxy face really showed her arrogance and meanness to the extreme.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "You are not capable of doing anything as a maid who was born in the back house. You just help me take a bath and rub my back. That's all."
It's a lie to help, but it's a lie to want to stay by his side.
Qingwen snorted softly, with a proud look on her face again, and said softly: "Yes, I am suitable for bathing the young master."
Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "Let's go. I'm drunk now and smell of alcohol. I'll wash myself off later."
She also had a charming aura, which she had forgotten just now, and she even hugged her eldest daughter Fu'er.
Fortunately, my daughter is still young...
The two of them entered the side room. At this moment, a wooden bathtub was filled with steam. Musk and flower petals were stirred into it, and a faint fragrance escaped silently.
Under Qingwen's service, Jia Heng took off his python suit. The sunlight shone on the young man's bronze-colored skin, and his muscles were as strong as a sculpture with strong lines.
Then, with the sound of bath water "swishing", he entered the tub.
Qingwen came behind Jia Heng with a towel, scrubbed Jia Heng's arms, and said, "Master, have you just come out of the palace?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Yes, Xianning, the little princess is all in the palace, and I haven't seen them for more than half a year."
Qingwen gave a soft "hmm", bit her pink lips with her teeth, and said softly: "Then I won't...serve the young master."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Oh, Qingwen now knows how to cherish my body."
The former Juicer Girl now knows how to be considerate of others.
Qingwen's pretty, fair cheeks were as red as a blush, and she said, "I've been reading medical books during this period, and they said that this is not good for health and is not a long-term solution."
She also wants a child.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Hey, my Qingwen has grown a lot, and now she even knows how to maintain good health."
Qingwen snorted softly and said, "Young master, I forgot that I am also literate and a student. I remember that it was you who taught me how to read."
After bathing, it was already dusk, the lights were hanging in the corridor, and the orange candles dimmed circles of light and shadow, and the time was quiet.
At this time, Jia Heng put on an azure-colored brocade robe, with a jade-inlaid belt tied around his waist. As soon as he left the wing, he saw a nanny coming quickly, came forward to greet him, and said: "Uncle, Yuanyang
The girl waited for a while and said that the old lady of Xifu had prepared food for Uncle Heng to go to Xifu for dinner."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'll be there right away."
While talking, he walked quickly and walked along a long corridor to the hall.
At this moment, Qin Keqing, Mrs. You, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You were sitting around a round table with various dishes, talking to Yuanyang who was sitting on a pearwood chair not far away.
A smile lingered on Yuanyang's freckled duck-egg face. A shiny black braid was placed under her shoulders. Her voice was smiling and she said charmingly: "Uncle, you are here. The old lady invites Uncle Heng to come over for dinner."
Woolen cloth."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'll go over and take a look."
Jia Mu must be asking about something, otherwise, this is not a title, and it is not worthy of Jia Mu asking.
Under Qin Keqing's eyebrows, those charming and flowing eyes looked a little reluctant to leave, and said: "Husband, please go."
Later, do you want to call the second sister, the third sister, and sister-in-law You to give your husband a surprise together?
However, Yinglian is not young anymore, so maybe her husband will accept her?
Jia Heng and Yuanyang were walking slowly towards Rongguo Mansion, holding a lantern.
Jia Heng turned to look at Yuanyang and said softly: "Yuanyang, what did the old lady call me for?"
Yuanyang did not hide anything and said: "It seems that the second master is in Sichuan and wants to be transferred to the capital."
Jia Heng had something in his mind. He came closer, pulled the beauty's slender hair, and said, "Yuanyang, how are you doing at home these days?"
In the pitch-black night, Yuanyang's duck-oval face had two blushes on its cheeks, which seemed to cover up its small freckles, and said: "I'm not like that, serving the old lady every day."
Jia Heng said: "You are not young anymore, and you can't serve the old lady all the time."
Yuanyang chuckled lightly and said, "I'm used to it, but I'm really not used to being a concubine in the house."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "That's fine, but if you have children in the future, you have to rest."
Everyone has the right to choose their own way of life, but they cannot be forced to do so. If Yuanyang were not the Yuanyang who was by Jia Mu's side and had three teeth, would he still like her?
When Yuanyang heard what the "child" said, her duck-oval face with a few freckles suddenly turned as red as red clouds, and said: "I alone have no say in the child's affairs."
Jia Heng smiled, gently took the beauty's hand, hugged her into his arms, and said, "Then I will work harder and work harder?"
Yuanyang was currently in the young man's arms. He raised his eyes, and his eyes reflected the young man's gentle and jade-like eyes. Then he saw the young man coming closer, his wild and affectionate breath hitting his face, and then it was imprinted on his face.
Yuanyang let out a "嘤咛" sound, gently caressed the young man's back with both hands, curved his eyelashes and drooped slightly, with a hint of shame in his moist eyes.
Jia Heng gently reached into his clothes, caught the mandarin duck, and felt a familiar plumpness and softness. The girl who was already in her twenties was taller and thinner than before, but there was no trace of flesh. After a few years, it was obvious that
Much richer.
Yuanyang blushed with embarrassment and said softly: "Uncle, the old lady is still waiting in Rongqing Hall."
While the two were talking, they walked through a three-foot-wide corridor and arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, which was separated by a wall.
Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall——
The indoor lights are bright and bright, and under the eaves of the corridor are all the maids and maids waiting with their hands down. At a glance, they are brightly dressed, and they are not inferior to the girls from ordinary small families.
Jia Heng and Yuanyang walked into the hall, walked through the grids separated by exquisite glass mica screens, and met the smiles and eyes of everyone. They quickly came to Jia Mu and said: "Old lady."
With a kind smile on her old face, Jia Mu said softly: "Brother Heng, you are back."
The young man in front of me always came back victorious every time he went out to battle. Even when the little prince was there, he couldn't compare with him.
Jia Heng smiled, looked at Jia Mu, and said, "The old lady has always been strong and healthy?"
Jia Mu smiled and said, "I have a good body and bones. I talk and laugh at home every day."
At this moment, Baochai and Daiyu looked at the young man in an azure gown. Compared with the previous python suit, he was a little less majestic and solemn, and a little more gentle and elegant.
Undoubtedly, this combination of youthful feeling and gentle demeanor of a mature man is really heartbreaking.
Under Daiyu's smoky eyebrows, those bright and shining star eyes blinked.
Perhaps for girls who are more concerned about their appearance, they have already had a physical liking for Jia Heng.
Jia Heng sat down, the maid beside him offered him tea, and then slowly retreated.
Jia Mu asked: "Brother Heng, I went to the palace to meet you this time. What did the Holy Master in the palace say?"
Jia Heng said: "I didn't say anything. We just had dinner together and discussed the military situation."
Jia Mu nodded and said, "Brother Heng, it's really not easy for him to travel from Liaodong to North Korea this time."
Jia Heng said: "I'm not too tired."
Jia Mu nodded, with a kind smile in her eyes, and asked: "Brother Heng has made such a big contribution this time, the palace didn't say how to reward you?"
Aunt Xue's fair and soft face suddenly showed a look of concern, and she looked at Jia Heng with good eyes.
And all the golden hairpins in the hall all turned their attention to the young man.
Tan Chun held the handkerchief, and under his beautiful brows, his eyes were in trance.
When Brother Heng came back this time, did he still not talk to her?
In the past few times, Tanchun watched Jia Heng come back, offered marriage, and went to other places to "check in", but did not come to look for him.
Jia Heng said: "The favor shown to me by the Holy Master in the palace is truly unparalleled. Even though I have some minor military achievements, it is just my duty as a minister, so I don't need to ask for rewards for everything."
He didn't know whether the nuns and maids in this house had the emperor's eyes, but there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Once you have achieved a little bit of credit, you can easily offend those in power by asking for credit and rewards.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "What Zi Yu said is that after all, we are relatives of the Tian family. How can we expect anything in return?"
Jia Heng said: "But..."
Jia Heng paused for a moment, then continued: "Not long ago, the Queen Mother issued a decree to marry Song Yan, the daughter of the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, to me. We may choose a good time to get married in the next few days."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
Under Daiyu's smoky brows, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she snorted softly, saying, "I wonder how come there is no reward, but also a marriage?"
At this moment, Baochai gently pulled Daiyu's slender hand. Under Cuiyu's beautiful eyebrows, there seemed to be a bit of shame in her moist apricot eyes, and she said angrily: "Sister."
In front of so many people, I don't know how much face to save for this man. Now that you are young and beautiful, it is very good. But one day when you are old and your appearance fades, and he gets tired of you, he will regret it.
When everyone heard this, their expressions were strange and incomprehensible.
He secretly thought, Miss Lin is still the same Miss Lin, her little mouth is as sharp as a knife.
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he said warmly: "That's right. I've seen Sister Yan'er and Sister Lin before."
"I've met a lot of people, and it turns out they're all asking for marriage." Daiyu said, seemingly surprised.
Jia Heng: "..."
Lin Daoyun, are you back online now?
However, in another place, he would be the one to quarrel?
Baochai pulled Daiyu's slender hair and said, "Sister Lin."
Daiyu said shyly and angrily: "Sister Bao, you usually like to indulge him."
Jia Mu chuckled, then changed her words and said, "It's not too late for you two to go back and quarrel again."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the air in Rongqing Hall was suddenly filled with joy.
"While we are talking, we are also hungry. Yuanyang and Amber, please help me get up. Let's go eat and ignore the young couple." Jia Mu smiled and said.
Yuanyang agreed with a smile, and then he and Hu Hui helped Jia Mu and headed towards the side hall not far away.
Everyone also got up from the embroidered pier and prepared to have a meal.
Jia Heng glanced at Daiyu at this moment, gently pulled the slender catkin of the Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass, and said softly: "You didn't come here with the same marriage offer?"
Daiyu snorted softly and said, "How can it be the same? Sister Bao and I have been with you since we were young."
Jia Heng: "..."
In fact, it is not wrong to say that. Chai Dai was really his childhood sweetheart and his childhood sweetheart, and their relationship was extraordinary.
However, this is obviously Daiyu's petty words.
As Daiyu said this, she couldn't help but cast a glance at the young man with a chiseled face from the corner of her eye. There was a hint of shame in her bright eyes.
He thought to himself, don't let her and Sister Bao serve him together when he goes back.
Last time in front of Sister Bao, she really made a fool of herself.
Jia Heng didn't say much else, and instead sat down and began to have dinner around several round mahogany painted tables.
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
At this moment, a string of laughter like silver bells came from outside Rongqing Hall, "Old ancestor, while we are eating, we don't know how to send someone to call my grandson's daughter-in-law."
Smell the red lips before smiling.
Everyone looked up and saw a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, her hair combed into a bun, and her face full of smiles, walking into the hall.
It was Sister Feng, followed not far behind by Ping'er, Feng'er, Caiming and other maids.
"Girl Feng, here we come, Lan..." Jia Mu said with a smile. She was about to ask "Brother Lan, why didn't he come?" and quickly swallowed it.
"Old lady, I heard that Brother Heng is back." Sister Feng's face was full of spring breeze, her smile was full of joy, and her phoenix eyes were shining brightly under her eyebrows.
Is this heartless person back? He gave birth to two children and asked her to help and take care of them.
When he came back this time, he had to give her a child.
Jia Heng put down his chopsticks and stared at Sister Feng. He caught the strange look in Sister Feng's eyes for a moment, but immediately her expression remained normal.
There are a lot of smart people in this room, and they might find some clues from some eye contact.
Sister Feng sat down and said, "Old lady, this period of time has exhausted me."
Jia Mu chuckled lightly, and did not ask in detail, but said: "Brother Heng is back, and I will bother you with your busy schedule this time."
Sister Feng was surprised and said softly: "What do you mean?"
Jia Mu glanced at Daiyu, considered her words, and said: "The palace has granted another marriage, and the girl from the Song family, who is also the Queen's niece, is betrothed to Brother Heng."
As her granddaughter, she has been jealous since she was a child. If you have time, teach her that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
Sister Feng smiled and said, "Brother Heng is so blessed, and we are blessed with another one to marry?"
Jia Heng looked a little speechless and said: "Originally, Xianning intended to match them up and agreed on the marriage. Now it is regarded as a status."
When Daiyu heard this, her bright starry eyes flashed under her smoky eyebrows.
Are these words igniting her?
It means that she is not as virtuous and generous as Princess Xianning, right?
Huh, I really want her to serve with Sister Bao, but I can’t.
At this moment, Xiangyun and Baoqin were watching the battle quietly without saying much else.
If things had gone according to the past, Xiangyun would have rushed into Jia Heng's arms as soon as Jia Heng came back, but perhaps because of the previous relationship, the little fat girl was quiet and shy instead.
As for Baoqin, he watched quietly.
Then, he moved to the hall again and began to sit down and drink tea.
Under Jia Mu's gray eyebrows, her old eyes could not help but look solemn as she asked: "Brother Heng, I have something to ask you."
Jia Heng put down the tea cup, looked a little more solemn, and said, "If you have something to say, you might as well speak up."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "I, Baoyu, have been an official in Bashu for a year or two. When I returned to Beijing last time to report on my work, I saw that he was getting older and his temples were gray. Now that he has been an official in another place, my heart
I'm also a little concerned, Brother Heng sees that the yamen in Beijing is vacant, should he be transferred again?"
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Being a local official lasts for three years. The second master is in Sichuan this time. He still has one year to go. He will wait for the official assessment next year, whether he is transferred to the capital or works in the local area.
If you transfer to another position, you will be promoted. However, you will still be a third-grade official in Beijing. In the local area, you may become a provincial academic administrator. In a few years, you will be moved to the post of chief envoy, and you will become a second-grade official."
Jia's mother was very happy when she heard that Jia Heng had paved a "road to promotion" for her youngest son. She smiled and said: "If there is a vacancy in the capital, it may be better to be transferred to the capital first, but it cannot be sent out all the time.
"
Jia Heng said: "Let's wait until this year. Several yamen officials in Beijing should also retire. If there are vacancies in the civil service department, I will help ask if they can be transferred to Beijing."
In fact, he can only say hello to this kind of appointment as a civil servant, but it may not be useful.
Because Yao Yu, the official minister in charge of personnel affairs, has an upright and broad-minded temperament. He has been impeached in the past, so he probably won't betray his reputation.
If it is not done well and spreads it out, it is possible that it will make others feel ashamed.
It was more convenient when Han Huang was the chief minister of the cabinet.
Mrs. Wang listened to what Jia Heng and Jia Mu said. She couldn't help but exert a little force on the Buddhist beads in her hands, her eyes full of expectation.
I am already a third-rank official now. When I get to Beijing, will I be able to be promoted to a minister?
Then he is also the wife of the minister? The second-grade wife of Gaoming?
But Mrs. Wang obviously didn't know that from the local government to the central government, she was probably a third-rank minister.
Jia Mu obviously also thought about the second-rank minister, and asked with a smile: "Brother Heng, do you think Baoyu and I will have the possibility of becoming a minister in the future?"
Jia Heng said with relief: "Old lady, it would be better for the second master to be transferred to the local government to accumulate experience in civil affairs and criminal justice. In the future, he may not have no chance of becoming a minister."
Jia Zheng's qualifications and ability are still there. No matter how hard he trains, serving as a minister is actually the pinnacle, unless his daughter can be made a virtuous concubine like in the original work.
In the future, I will serve as a noble Minister of Rites.
Hearing this, Jia Mu smiled and said: "What Brother Heng said is that last time when Baoyu came back, I asked him. He said he still wanted to be an official in the local area and benefit the local people. I also said that you should
I’m trying to persuade him.”
Jia Heng said: "The second master has great ambitions, and it's not easy for the old lady to stop him."
Jia Mu smiled and said: "What Qingyun ambition? I just hope that he and Mr. Baoyu can live in peace, and they don't need to be high-ranking officials. It would be nice if they could talk about their family relationship together from time to time."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "That's true."
Aunt Xue listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Wang, who had an indifferent face and a smile that was harder to suppress than AK's. She felt a little disgusted.
Her girl Bao was given to Brother Heng as his daughter-in-law, and the Xue family didn't get any credit. Her sister was annoyed with Brother Heng every day, but she still got a lot of credit.
