Chapter 1454 Baochai: Is she too good a wife and mother?
Jinyi Mansion, official hall
At this moment, Qiu Liang no longer dared to be arrogant in the Jinyi Mansion's government offices as he had done before, and had obviously kept a low profile. Early in the morning, he came to Jinyi Mansion to assign tasks.
The Jinyi Mansion monitors what is going on in the streets and lanes of Shenjing City, so there are many daily matters that need to be dealt with every day.
At this moment, the clear voice of the Jinyi palace guard outside sounded, loudly saying: "The governor is here."
Qiu Liang was sitting behind a lacquered wooden desk at the bottom. Hearing this, he stood up and looked at the young man in python suit who came forward surrounded by a group of royal guards.
"I have seen the governor in my humble position." Qiu Liang calmed down, made a facelift, and bowed his hands to the young man in the python suit.
Jia Heng's face turned solemn and he said loudly: "I have been ordered by the Holy One to investigate the assassination of the holy driver of the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Although Qu Lang and Liu Jixian were not the ones who set up the defense, they were suspected of neglecting inspection. Therefore, they were deposed and expelled from the residence.
Jinyi Mansion."
When Qiu Liang heard this, his face was startled at first, but then he returned to normal, cupped his hands and said: "Long live the wise Lord, long live long live."
Jia Heng's face was silent for a while, he came to a lacquered wooden table and sat down, and said: "Come here, take Qu Lang and Liu Jixian away."
Although they left Jinyi Mansion, it didn't mean that they could no longer be used. It just meant that they could only stay dormant for the time being.
In fact, this will help the two of them completely remove their filter of imperial power and follow him wholeheartedly from then on.
Immediately, several Jinyi palace guards gave orders and went to the governor's room in the Yamen to take the two people out.
Jia Heng looked gloomy, looked at Qiu Liang with cold eyes, and said: "Qiu Qian, have you recently investigated the movements of Chen Yuan, the remnant of King Zhao?"
Qiu Liang looked stern and said in a deep voice: "Go back to the governor, I am sending people to investigate. It won't be long before news comes."
Jia Heng stared at Qiu Liang and sneered: "Now, you have replaced thousands or hundreds of households in Jinyi Mansion. I guess you have a way to catch Chen Yuan, so I am waiting for good news."
"
When Qiu Liang heard this, his heart froze, and he could certainly hear some threats in these words.
If the whereabouts of Chen Yuan, the remnant of King Zhao, cannot be found out, perhaps his fate will not be better than that of Qu Lang and Liu Jixian.
He had no one to save him.
Jia Heng looked indifferent and said: "I will leave the affairs in Jinyi Mansion to your disposal for the time being. You must find out the remnants of King Zhao lurking in the capital and protect the safety of the palace."
After Qiu Liang heard this, he cupped his hands and said, "I would like to thank the Governor for your trust."
Jia Heng then said no more, called his personal guards, and then left the hall.
In fact, in such a large Jinyi Mansion, even if Qiu Liang continues to make false accusations, it is impossible to replace them all.
Moreover, Qiu Liang has been away from Jinyi Mansion for too long and does not have much foundation at all.
While Jia Heng was speaking, under the protection of Jinyi Mansion guards, he left the Jinyi Mansion official office and walked towards Ningguo Mansion.
…
…
Ningguo Mansion, outer study room
At this moment, Qu Lang and Liu Jixian were already sitting on a pearwood chair in the study, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Not far away, Chen Xiao was holding a book in his hand and looked at the two of them without asking any questions.
At this moment, there was a burst of rapid and chaotic footsteps under the eaves of the corridor. After a while, a tall and tall young man in a python suit entered the hall. The two of them quickly stood up, clasped their fists towards Jia Heng and said, "
I have seen the governor in my humble position."
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Qu and Liu, waved his hands and said, "No need to be polite."
Qu Lang and Liu Jixian stood up and stared at the boy in the python suit.
Jia Heng sat down and said: "You two have been expelled from Jinyi Mansion this time. You will rest at home for a while. After a while, you will go to the Beijing Camp to protect the army and serve as generals."
Hearing this, Qu Lang felt warm waves surge in his heart. His voice trembled slightly with a hint of choking, and he cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your humiliation, Commander-in-Chief."
Liu Jixian also cupped his fists to say thank you.
A look of anger appeared on Liu Jixian's majestic face, and he cursed angrily, saying: "That son of a bitch Qiu Liang, once he gains power, he will become a villain."
Jia Heng looked worried and shouted: "That's enough!"
Liu Jixian opened his mouth and then shut up.
Jia Heng's face turned solemn, he shouted, and said: "It's better to let people hold the pigtails, otherwise even if Qiu Liang continues to do evil in every possible way, what can he do to you?"
Of course, he also sat idly by and watched Chen Yuan's secret assassination. Otherwise, it would obviously be possible to just send a letter from Fei Ge to give Qu Lang and Liu Jixian early warning.
At this moment, Liu Jixian felt a sense of guilt in his heart and quickly lowered his head.
Qu Lang looked indifferent and didn't say much else.
Jia Heng sat down and said loudly: "The two of you will stay in the Beijing camp during the recent period. Don't cut off contact with the deposed old troops, but don't make a big deal about this matter."
Qu Lang and Liu Jixian both said yes.
Jia Heng thought for a while, then made a suggestion and said: "The recent turmoil in the capital is dangerous. Let's stay quiet for a while and wait for the follow-up. There will always be a time when it can be used."
Liu Jixian hadn't reacted yet, but Qu Lang's resolute and handsome face couldn't help but reveal a hint of thoughtfulness.
Jia Heng didn't wait for the two to ask, waved his hand and said: "Go down and rest first."
"I resign." The two of them bowed their hands toward Jia Heng, and then slowly retreated.
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, and his clear eyes that were like water from a mountain spring were like dew. He looked at the boy in the python suit and said softly: "Will you let the two of you help you deal with the spy information first?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "You can't live without someone like this who is in charge of confidential matters."
As he spoke, he came closer, held the beauty's slender catkins in his hands, and said, "Has Chen Yuan escaped from the capital?"
"I don't know either." Chen Xiao shook his head and said softly: "There is no news from Senior Sister."
A look of thought appeared on Jia Heng's face, and then he said warmly: "Don't worry about it for now."
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "What are your plans in Beijing recently?"
Jia Heng said: "I will stay dormant for a while. In a few days, the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet will draft a decree to reward the heroes who conquered the Liao Dynasty. I will go and discuss it."
Chen Xiao stared at the young man in the python suit and whispered: "Now many soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp are stationed in Liaodong. When they return completely, it will be the time to release your military power."
Jia Heng sighed and said, "Don't I know?"
It can be said that as long as Emperor Chongping is alive, his influence will be weaker.
Therefore, he also hopes that Chen Yuan can stand up and do something that has been going on for so long.
And letting Qiu Liang supervise the daily affairs of Jinyi Mansion is also to find a good candidate to take the blame in the future. Otherwise, if Chen Yuan is asked to do something again, he really will not be able to explain it to the government and the public.
Concern appeared in Chen Xiao's eyes and he said, "How do you plan to respond?"
Jia Heng said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I will go to the Grand View Garden to see Xue Lin's two sisters."
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at the young man in the python suit and said, "Are you really so lost in the land of gentleness that you don't know that your death is coming?"
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "I've only been back for a few days? I can't help but look at my wife and concubines, right? You have eaten enough for yourself and don't care about others."
If I count carefully, I have only been back for a few days.
Chen Xiao snorted lightly and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
Then, the beauty watched the young man in the python suit go away, with a look of thoughtfulness cast over her clear and frosty jade face.
Grand View Garden, Hengwu Garden
In this house with the plaque "阘跷清香" hanging on it, at this moment, in the attic with blue walls and black tiles, the eaves and roof are covered with a thin layer of snowflakes, and the dry ice crystals on the branches of plum trees have condensed. Looking from a distance, it seems like
Liuli.
A red plum tree sways in the wind, as bright as a brocade cloud, and extremely static.
At this moment, it is the winter snow season, and the fire is blazing in the wing room, which is warm and cozy.
Baochai and Daiyu were sitting around the stove, making tea and snow.
A look of memory suddenly appeared on Daiyu's face, and she said: "I remember that year when it snowed heavily, Sister Bao was making tea in Lixiangyuan, and Brother Heng was also there at that time, sitting here."
As he spoke, he pointed to the embroidered pier covered with soft mattress beside him.
Hearing this, Baochai couldn't help but froze for a moment, smiled and said, "If Sister Lin didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it."
"It seems like a few years ago, when Sister Lin was having trouble with Brother Heng." Baochai said softly, with her plump and lovely face as white as snow under her beautiful bun.
Hearing this, Daiyu's pretty face became flushed with shame, and she trembled: "Where is that?"
Baochai smiled, her apricot eyes sparkling like water under Cuiyu's beautiful eyebrows, and joked: "Sister Lin did a lot to control Brother Heng back then."
Daiyu snorted and said, "That's because he is too hateful."
Under Baochai Cuiyu's slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water. She responded softly and said, "That's true. It's been two days since I came back and I haven't come here yet."
Under Daiyu's smoky brows, which seemed to be curled up, a look of despair appeared in her bright starry eyes, and she said softly: "First of all, stick with the princess, the princess, and the princess. We are at the end of the line."
While the two were talking, a nun entered the side room, smiled and said, "Miss Bao, Miss Lin, Uncle Heng is here."
Daiyu smiled and said, "Sister Bao is really right. She really means Cao Cao. Cao Cao is here."
Baochai's two moon-like eyebrows were lowered, and there was a trace of shame and annoyance in her crystal moist apricot eyes.
After a while, a young man in a python suit came from outside and entered the hall. He looked at Baochai and Daiyu with warm eyes and said, "Sister Lin and Sister Xue are both here."
Under Daiyu's smoky eyebrows, her starry eyes were as bright as rainbows, and she said, "Brother Heng is here specifically to see Sister Bao?"
Jia Heng chuckled lightly, sat down between the two of them, and said, "You two are looking for it."
There is hairpin but no hair, just like eating dumplings without vinegar, they always lack some flavor.
Daiyu snorted softly and said: "Then why do you come to Hengwuyuan? Does Brother Heng know that I am in Hengwuyuan?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, thinking to himself, are you trying to compete with me?
Under Dai Yu's smoky eyebrows, her starry eyes were like crystal dew. She looked at the young man in the python suit and said softly: "I have nothing to say."
"Sister." Baochai gently took Daiyu's slender hand from the side, with a smile on her plump and white jade face, and said: "Brother Heng finally came here, don't be reluctant."
Jia Heng: "..."
The truth is that those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
Jia Heng sat down, picked up a cup of fragrant tea on the table, and said softly: "I'll take a sip to moisten my throat."
Baochai just stabbed Jia Heng briefly, but he knew how to behave, so he stopped pursuing him.
Jia Heng put down the tea cup, looked at Baochai, and said warmly: "Sister Xue, I've been having a lot of fun playing with Sister Lin in the mansion these days."
Under Baochai Cuiyu's beautiful eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes were full of water, and she said: "I usually have nothing to do. I can only drink tea and play chess with Sister Lin. Occasionally, Sister Baoqin and Xiangyun
It’s usually nice for my sister to come over.”
Jia Heng said warmly: "In a few days, people from the Zongren Mansion should come. Sister Xue and Sister Lin should pay attention."
Baochai gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Sister Lin and I will just listen to the court's arrangements."
Her man is now the king of the county.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to hold Daiyu's slender hand, looked at her beautiful and bright face, and asked: "Sister Lin, you have been married for so long, is it time to go home and live in peace?"
He wanted to take the opportunity to discuss with Lin Ruhai the next direction of the court situation, but there was nothing else.
At this moment, Daiyu no longer had the stimulating words. Under her beautiful eyebrows, her starry eyes filled with joy, and she said, "I was just saying that I miss my dad too."
That's pretty much it. Ever since she married him, Brother Heng has never been alone with her again.
Jia Heng said: "Then these two days will pass."
As he said that, he glanced at the dark sky outside and said, "It's getting late now, and it's here today."
Baochai's plump, white face seemed to be covered with a rose-red blush on both sides, and she called softly: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng said: "Let the kitchen prepare some food and wine. I'll have a few drinks here."
Baochai responded softly and called, "Ying'er."
Ying'er responded quickly, and then walked out of the wing with Xiren.
Daiyu looked at the boy in the python suit with concern and said, "Brother Heng is back this time, won't he be so busy in the future?"
Jia Heng said: "The world is at peace, almost completely at ease."
Of course, a storm is brewing in Beijing, and the battle for the heir apparent will probably begin soon. There really aren't many other wars, except in the northwest and Tibet.
Under Baochai's slender eyebrows, her eyes were charming and charming, and she said softly: "Brother Heng has been conquering all these years, so he should rest at home for a while and take care of himself for a while."
Jia Heng said warmly: "Yes, that's what military generals are like. When they were young, they fought in battles and got sick. When they get older, they have to take good care of themselves."
Hearing this, Daiyu showed a bit of worry in her starry eyes and said, "Brother Heng hasn't suffered any scars from the wars in these years, right?"
Jia Heng said in surprise: "Don't Sister Lin know that I have scars from my fall?"
Daiyu: "..."
After all, her heart is just a little bit thinner than Bigan's. The beauty's face, as clear and as beautiful as daisy, showed a bit of shame, and she said coquettishly: "What are you talking about?"
Indeed, he is incredibly strong.
Baochai didn't know what to think of. Under Cuiyu's slender eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes also showed a bit of shame.
After a while, Ying'er and Xiren were seen walking quickly from the outside. Behind them, the nanny was already carrying various dishes and wines. The table was filled with a dazzling array of colors, flavors and aromas.
Jia Heng looked at Baochai and Daiyu with a smile and said, "Sister Xue, sister Lin, let's have dinner together."
Baochai and Daiyu sat next to each other. Baochai picked up the mandarin duck pot and poured a cup of wine for Jia Heng.
Jia Heng picked up the wine cup and took a sip.
After everyone had finished eating, it was already afternoon, and several maids and nuns came in to clear away the dishes, chopsticks, cups, and plates.
Jia Heng took Baochai's soft, chubby hand and took Daiyu's slender hand with the other hand, and then entered the side room.
Jia Heng took Chai Dai's hand and sat down on the embroidered couch.
Daiyu's cheeks turned red with shame, and she said angrily: "It's still daytime, Brother Heng will..."
Jia Heng chuckled lightly and joked: "Then Sister Lin is helping me and your sister Bao watch the wind outside?"
Daiyu: "..."
The girl couldn't help but pinched Jia Heng's arm gently. Her pretty and bright face was full of shame, and she said, "What are you talking about?"
Jia Heng smiled and suddenly took Daiyu's shoulder.
Under Baochai's beautiful eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes seemed to have ripples of light. She stared at the two people having fun and sighed secretly in her heart.
Brother Heng seems to like that Sister Lin can do things and make trouble.
Is she too good a wife and mother?
The girl had also read many story books about Yuanren Baijiang since she was a child, and she also knew a lot about some methods of charming men.
Baochai's face, which was as white as snow and as white as a pear's pistils, was covered with a light blush, and soon, her hair was hanging down.
Jia Heng was being intimate with Daiyu at the moment, but he saw Baochai lowering her head, her plump, white face seemed to be covered with a layer of pink blush, her eyelashes were fluttering, and her moist apricot eyes seemed to be filled with
Endless charming affection.
At this moment, Jia Heng gently caressed Daiyu's shoulder, arbitrarily plundering the sweet scent of the Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass.
After a while, Jia Heng stared at Daiyu's red face and said, "Sister Lin, can you also be considerate of your sister Bao?"
Daiyu: "???"
Sure enough, this person still wanted to have her serve him.
Baochai's plump, white face was filled with rose-red aura, and when she raised her head, her pink lips were sparkling and translucent.
While Daiyu was speaking, she also came closer and spat secretly, but she still held her delicate hands.
Although Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass has served Jia Heng more than once, she is still a little shy and coy.
And this is exactly the charming mood that Jia Heng likes to see.
At this moment, Jia Heng cast his calm eyes on the winter snow on the branches outside the window, feeling the sweeping back and forth, and his brows wrinkled and relaxed.
I secretly thought, this is what a man should do.
Then, Jia Heng gently took Baochai's soft hand and came to the side room.
After all, Baochai had gone through human affairs, and her plump, white face was as bright as fire. She also had a hint of obsession, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng took Baochai's arm and hugged her into his arms.
At this moment, Zicuckoo and Xiren outside had already lowered the curtains with red cheeks, leaving space for the couple inside.
