Above the attic, it was already evening, the sky was filled with sunset, and in the western sky, golden and red rays of light were projected on the glazed tiles on the attic, shining brightly.
Jia Heng gently hugged Yuan Chun's plump and delicate body and flew it under the sword-shaped eyebrows on the temples. There was a touch of joy in his bright eyes and said: "Sister, you have worked hard these days."
Yuan Chun pressed the young man's plain hand that was holding the lapel of his clothes and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, I'm not in a good position right now. I can't serve Brother Heng."
When Hengdi made such a fuss, she was indeed a little sticky. Hengdi liked to tease her like this.
Jia Heng said softly: "It's okay. It's been three months now, so there shouldn't be anything major."
When Yuan Chun heard this, a light blush appeared on his pink face, and he said angrily: "Brother Heng."
In fact, she was pregnant, and she also wanted to have a younger brother.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to caress Yuan Chun's bulging belly and said softly: "Sister, how many months are you pregnant with the child?"
To be honest, he couldn't remember the day Yuanchun was conceived.
Yuanchun said angrily and said: "Brother Heng forgot, it was Brother Heng who got pregnant when he was in the attic that day, while His Highness and I were waiting on him."
Jia Heng suddenly realized it and said, "Oh, I remembered it."
Actually, I really can’t remember which day it was?
There are so many women in the back house, who can remember them?
Yuanchun's plump, white face turned as red as a blush, looking both coquettish and coquettish, and said, "Brother Heng, I don't know whether this baby is a boy or a girl."
Jia Heng gently stroked Yuan Chun's slightly bulging belly and said, "Sister, I like them all, whether they are boys or girls."
Yuan Chun's beautiful eyes were as full as water, and her voice was a little delicate, and she said softly: "During this period, I like to eat sour food, maybe I am a boy."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "That should be my son."
In fact, there is no scientific basis for the so-called sour boys and spicy girls.
As he spoke, he gently stroked Yuanchun's slightly swollen belly and said, "Sister, I don't usually climb up and down too much. I'm really worried about climbing up the stairs."
Under Yuanchun's slender eyebrows, which were like willow leaves, her beautiful eyes were crystal clear. In her gentle and gentle voice, there was a hint of infatuation and murmuring, and she said softly: "I miss Hengdi too much."
Jia Heng said softly: "Next time, I will visit you, so don't be so anxious."
Yuanchun said "hmm", and a slight blush appeared on both sides of his pink and chubby face.
Jia Heng asked: "By the way, does your family know that eldest sister is pregnant?"
In fact, he mainly wanted to know whether Mrs. Wang knew about it. She probably didn't know. Otherwise, when he went to Rongguo Mansion and Rongqing Hall the day before yesterday, Mrs. Wang might have threatened him in private.
For example, let him help Jia Zheng get promoted, or let him help Baoyu find a good marriage?
There may also be other unreasonable demands.
"I didn't go back to my house. I asked Baoqin to go there on my behalf during the Chinese New Year." Yuanchun's jade face was as crystal clear as snow, as bright as clouds, and Qi Ruobian's cherry-shaped shell teeth were gently biting the powder.
Moistening her lips, she said angrily: "Brother Heng, how can I go back with such a big belly?"
Jia Heng said: "That's true."
After saying that, without saying much, he took Yuan Chun's slender hand, stared at the eldest princess of Jinyang not far away, and said: "Okay, I won't say any more, your highness will be impatient."
This time, non-pregnant women are still used as output.
The eldest princess of Jinyang paused slightly, snorted softly, and said: "You two can just talk. I haven't seen you for half a year. Let's talk and talk about old times. Yuanchun is pregnant with your child."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "It's not too late to talk about old times later."
Then, holding the plump body of Princess Jinyang, she greedily sucked in the fragrant scent of the lush hair.
…
…
I don’t know how long it took, but the night fell and the lanterns came on. The warm spring breeze in March gently blew a string of wind chimes hanging under the eaves of the attic, emitting a clear and sweet sound.
On the second floor of the attic with cornices and hooked corners, there is a bed next to the east chamber. You can see the curtains all around, and the golden hooks tie up the curtains. The smell in the inner chamber is so overwhelming that it makes people's hearts burn.
I don’t know how long it took, but Jia Heng and the eldest princess of Jinyang hugged each other closely.
The graceful and gorgeous face of the eldest princess of Jinyang is densely covered with rose-red aura, like peach blossoms in February, as bright as fire.
At this moment, the beauty suddenly hugged Jia Heng with her backhand, as if nursing a child, and said in a soft and waxy voice: "Are you tired during this time?"
Jia Heng flew sideways under the sword-shaped eyebrows on his temples. His cold, crystal-clear eyes showed a hint of thoughtfulness, and he asked in surprise: "Are you tired?"
Under the curved willow eyebrows of Princess Jinyang, her beautiful eyes seemed to be shining with charming waves, and she said softly: "Since you came back, you have been hanging out in the back house, aren't you tired?"
Jia Heng said softly: "There is no other way. You have to go and see. It's not good for anyone who is left out in the cold."
The eldest princess of Jinyang, Yong Li, had traces of shame between her bright eyebrows, her straight nose snorted, and said sarcastically: "You are still young now and don't know how to cherish your body. When you are older,
Now you know what it means to be unable to do what you want."
Jia Heng pinched the plump lump in front of the beauty, and felt the tenderness between her palms, and said: "A man can still be lustful even if he is eighty years old."
"But if you have always been lustful, you may not be able to be lustful until you are eighty years old." The eldest princess of Jinyang raised her eyebrows, her beautiful crystal eyes were charming, and she seemed to give the young man an angry look.
The beauty's beautiful face has a charming charm on both sides, and the rose-red halo on the snow-white skin is like a red apple, so red that people can't help but take a bite.
The eldest princess of Jinyang, with her narrow and beautiful eyes, already as clear as water, said: "It still depends on you. If you don't know how to control yourself, what will happen in the future? I don't want to be a widow in the future."
Jia Heng: "..."
For a moment, there was some silence.
How can it be?
The eldest princess of Jinyang frowned with her plump eyebrows, and a look of thoughtfulness gradually appeared on her jade face, and said: "If you are really tired, just serve me next time."
Jia Heng: "..."
This woman really came here for this, and now she's just beating around the bush and waiting for him.
On the other side, Yuanchun snorted softly.
Jia Heng heard Yuan Chun's voice, gently took Yuan Chun's delicate hand and said, "Big sister."
While Jia Heng was speaking, under his sword-shaped eyebrows, he stared at the beauty, and gently pinched the plump and soft ball in front of the beauty's skirt.
It is true that the weak can defeat the strong.
The two were entangled for a while, and Princess Jinyang's face paused slightly, and she said softly: "Stop talking, I'm already hungry."
Jia Heng gently pinched the beauty's plump cheeks and said, "I was just saying that I'm hungry now."
Under the curved eyebrows of the eldest princess of Jinyang, her beautiful eyes are as bright as water. She holds up a soft, white arm. Her plump, white face is as red as haze, as red as an apple, which makes people unable to bear it.
Take a bite.
While the two were talking, they also got up from the bed.
Yuanchun on the side also stood up with his soft and delicate body supported. His plump, white and fragrant skin also had a rose-red aura on both sides.
At this moment, Jia Heng took the black and red woven python suit from the side, and quickly put it on, came to the hall, and sat down.
At this moment, a round dining table made of mahogany was placed with a dazzling array of dishes, all delicious and delicious.
After a while, the eldest princess of Jinyang and Yuan Chun came quickly. Their snow-white faces were undoubtedly covered with red clouds, and their whole bodies exuded a vague charm and charming aura.
The eldest princess of Jinyang, Chunshan's beautiful eyes flashed under her dark eyebrows, and she asked softly: "Wait a minute, where are you going?"
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly and he said softly: "I'll stay here for the night and head to Beijing camp tomorrow."
Princess Jinyang nodded and said with concern: "That's fine."
Jia Heng finished his dinner and said, "In the past few days, I heard from Xiaoxiao that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been replaced by King Wei's uncle."
The eldest princess of Jinyang, with her beautiful eyes shining like water, said: "I feel a lot more tired now that I have a festival. Since he wants to take care of it, let him take care of it. However, I have already taken care of the business in our house."
Let Qiu Fang and Lian Xue be busy."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Since I let the emperor see Jie'er that day, it would not be a good idea if we don't hand over the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Controlling both the army and the wealth is not supporting powerful ministers, so what is it?
The eldest princess of Jinyang, Chunshan, had narrow and clear eyes under her dark eyebrows, and her eyes were as bright as water. She said: "I can't help it, but after all these years of hard work, I make wedding dresses for others. It's really a bit embarrassing."
Willingly."
After all, Jinyang has been managing the Ministry of Internal Affairs for so long. It would be impossible to say that he doesn't have any feelings at all. Now that he is free, he will feel a little empty.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "That's it for now."
In the future, there will always be a time when Jinyang will be in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It's not that he wants to usurp the throne, but that even if the new emperor takes the throne, it is probably possible for him to serve as regent.
It's not that he can't prepare now, but that he is now at the moment when the emperor is secretly observing him and is very powerful. It doesn't make any sense for him to do unnecessary things.
It was already evening when Jia Heng and Princess Jinyang finished eating.
So, there was no more conversation all night.
…
…
The next day, the morning light dewed slightly, and the sunlight shone in the courtyard. It was seen that the large sycamore leaves shed a bunch of golden light and fell on the grass.
It is spring in March, the spring scenery is bright, and the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects can be heard everywhere.
At this moment, Jia Heng slowly got up and looked at Princess Jinyang and Yuan Chun who were lying not far away, with a little joy in his eyes.
Both of them are plump and as white as snow,
At this moment, Yuanchun's curved eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. Under those two eyebrows that were as curved as black willows, his beautiful eyes were as moist as water, and said: "Brother Heng, you
woke up."
Jia Heng stared at the rosy-skinned beauty and said, "Sister, why don't you sleep more?"
Yuanchun's clear eyes seemed to be as full as water, and with a sense of infatuation, he said softly: "I feel light now, and it's always the afternoon when I feel sleepy."
It's been like this since I gave birth to my child.
After saying that, Yuan Chun said softly: "Brother Heng, are you going to the Yamen today?"
Jia Heng said: "I'll go to Beijing camp later."
Not only to reunite with women in the back house, but also to handle business in the capital camp.
At this moment, the eldest princess of Jinyang also said "嘤咛", and her beautiful and bright face seemed to be covered with a layer of rose-red charm.
"What time is it?"
Jia Heng raised his eyes and glanced at the sky outside, and said, "It's about time."
Jia Heng said, gently opened the quilt, put on the python suit, and tied an embroidered belt around his waist.
At this moment, as the sound of "creak, creak" sounded from the stairs, Lianxue was dressed in a green skirt, with a slender waist and a high waist. Her jade face was as cold as frost. She led several maids up the stairs, with a prosperous smile gradually appearing on her face.
meaning.
"Duke Weiguo."
Jia Heng looked at Lianxue with a smile and said warmly: "Lianxue, what did you do for breakfast?"
It seems that he has known Lianxue for several years. The slim and graceful girl back then has undoubtedly become more mature and charming as she grows older.
Lianxue also had a smile on her face and said softly: "Uncle Heng, it's all some porridge, steamed buns, and some candied fruits."
Jia Heng nodded, and then followed Lian Xue to sit down at the dining table.
After breakfast, Jia Heng left Jinyang's eldest princess' mansion without staying much longer and followed Chen Xiao to the capital camp.
Jingying——
Since Jia Heng issued the order yesterday, the generals in the Beijing camp have begun to move quickly and began to select elite soldiers from the 12th regiment and camp in the Beijing camp and organize them into teams.
Jia Heng and Chen Xiao rode a horse and entered the camp at once. Welcomed by a group of generals, they entered the Chinese army's tent and sat down.
"Commander, the elite soldiers in the camp have been selected and organized into teams." Song Yuan, the marching director, raised his hand towards the young man in the python suit and said loudly.
"The ministries have been doing more training recently." Jia Heng said softly and asked: "His Royal Highness, how are you preparing the food and fodder?"
At this moment, King Wei took over and said: "Zi Yu, the Ministry of Revenue has allocated one million stones of grain and fodder to be escorted to Beiping Mansion in advance. A few months ago, Mr. Qi Ge from the Ministry of Revenue had already prepared it in advance.
Grain."
As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first.
This national war involved hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. It can be said that the military supplies and logistics prepared were quite huge.
Jia Heng said loudly: "Prepare as much food and fodder as possible. War to destroy a country is often protracted."
King Wei nodded and said softly: "There are about two batches. This is the first batch. If the follow-up is not enough, Xiao Wang will continue to raise food."
Jia Heng praised King Wei and said, "Your Majesty, King Wei, thank you for your hard work."
Immediately, he looked at King Chen Qin of Chu on the side and asked softly: "Your Highness, King of Chu, how are you preparing the ordnance required by the unknown army?"
The King of Chu nodded and said: "Gong Wei, we have transferred a batch of ordnance from the Ministry of War. The weapons supervisor is also working overtime to supervise the manufacture of ordnance. In the past few days, it will be equipped to the soldiers of the regiment and camp, and the subsequent ordnance production will be carried out."
Jia Heng said: "The main weapons are bows, crossbows and arrows, which consume a lot of money. The other ones are cannons, guns and bullets. These need to be prepared in large quantities."
The King of Chu said: "What the Duke of Wei said is true, it is indeed this thing. During these times, not only will we supervise the production, but we will also allocate some from the various departments for emergency response."
When Jia Heng heard this, he couldn't help but look at the King of Chu. He smiled and said: "Your Highness's plan is very good. As for the local capital, it will not be too late for subsequent craftsmen to build and supplement it."
When the King of Chu received Jia Heng's compliments, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Xie Zaiyi, and asked: "Ordnance, food and fodder are prepared step by step. Xie Hou, have you ever compiled the general information issued this time? Are there any of them who have asked for leave?"
Xie Zaiyi clasped his fists and said: "Come back to the festival, all the troops are here, and there are no generals who have asked for leave."
Jia Heng nodded and said in a deep voice: "In the next few days, all the troops will perform drills individually. You must not slack off for a moment. The main thing is to keep the orders consistent and maintain military appearance and discipline."
"Yes." Xie Zaiyi said with a solemn expression and cupped his hands.
Jia Heng looked calm and said: "Follow me to the regiment camp and inspect the regiment camp and all the generals."
As he said that, he left the Chinese military tents in the Beijing camp and began to patrol among the white military tents.
The Beijing camp was enveloped in a lively atmosphere at the moment. The generals looked hurriedly, and were inspecting each barracks accompanied by their own soldiers and retinues.
Jia Heng said loudly to the King of Wei who was standing aside: "This time the Beijing camp mobilized troops and horses to go out, the defense of Shenjing City is empty. King Wei still needs to send more troops to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to manage the defense of Shenjing and suppress the public security on the ground in the capital.
Be wary of those who are promiscuous."
King Chen Ran of Wei paused slightly, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, Ziyu, everyone in the army and horse division of the five cities will be diligent in their duties and will not cause trouble."
Jia Heng warned and said: "Your Highness, the son of the former King Zhao may be active in the capital recently. Your Highness should also pay attention to safety recently."
Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "Don't worry Ziyu, Gu Xing is very strong."
The previous assassination of King Chu in Jiangnan had already sounded the alarm for him.
After that, Jia Heng didn't say much else. Accompanied by a group of guards, he continued to inspect the camp affairs of each battalion.
When Jia Heng and Chen Xiao left the capital camp, they had just arrived at Ningguo Mansion and sat down in the flower hall. They were sipping fragrant tea in a tea cup, feeling the fragrance lingering on their teeth and cheeks, enjoying a moment of leisure.
This time when I don't have to accompany a woman is actually a kind of... relief.
Perhaps as time goes by, he will also awaken to the strange hobbies of middle-aged men, such as fishing.
Chen Xiaorong paused slightly and said loudly: "Everything is in order in the Beijing camp. It won't take long before we can go to the Jiangnan camp."
Jia Heng said: "Wait another month and we will set off."
I guess it's almost done, the preparation period for this war is indeed very long.
After a while, the servant entered the hall and said: "Sir, the angels from the palace are coming outside."
When Jia Heng heard this, he couldn't help but be extremely surprised. He looked at Chen Xiao, who was standing beside him, and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'll go take a look."
Then, Jia Heng left the hall and came to the Yimen. When he saw the visitor, he was stunned, cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch Xia."
The person who came was not Dai Quan, but Xia Shouzhong, the manager of the Sixth Palace.
"Your Majesty's words." Xia Shouzhong smiled broadly on his fair face and looked at the boy in the python suit with a somewhat intimate look.
"We respectfully ask the Queen, Jin An, for she is a thousand years old." Jia Heng's face paused slightly and he said loudly.
He's only been back for two days, can Tianniuer finally couldn't bear it anymore?
Xia Shouzhong nodded and said: "The empress has told me that she will go to Da Ci'en Temple to offer incense and pray for the little prince and princess in the future. Duke Wei and Princess Le'an will lead the guards of Jinyi Mansion to see them off."
Because Chen Xiao had already learned about the "adulterated affair" between Empress Song and Jia Heng, the fair-skinned beauty had nothing to be embarrassed about and directly called Chen Xiao by name.
It just so happens that after bringing Chen Xiao along, he can also deceive others.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "Wei minister accepts the order."
While talking, get up.
Jia Heng said: "I will send Eunuch Xia off."
Xia Shouzhong smiled and said: "It's hard for our family to leave the second palace. We will go to the Xia family later to see those nephews in the future."
After saying that, Xia Shouzhong asked: "Duke Wei, Xue Pan, you married my niece, how are you doing recently?"
In fact, it was nothing more than using this topic to open up a conversation between the two parties.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I just came here, so I don't know how the two families are doing now. I'll go find my wife and brother later and ask."
Xia Shouzhong's fair and beardless face smiled broadly and said: "Both families are merchant families, and now they complement each other, so they complement each other very well."
Jia Heng nodded in agreement, and then escorted Xia Shouzhong out of the mansion.
