Chapter 1512 Jia Heng: It seems that he has never visited Yingchun...
Shenjing City
The two sisters Jia Heng, Zhen Lan, and Zhen Xi quietly returned to Ningguo Mansion in a carriage.
Zhen Lan snuggled her head into the arms of the boy in the python suit, and closed her narrow and shining eyes slightly, as if she was concentrating with her eyes closed, and said in a low voice: "Brother Heng, you and your eldest sister are fooling around too much.
"
The scene just now seemed to her a bit dangerous. If the King of Chu's brother-in-law came back halfway, it would be no joke.
Jia Heng gently took Zhen Lan's slender hand and said, "It's a bit dangerous. This is not your eldest sister. She insists on pestering me."
However, the resentment I suffered from the King of Chu was indeed wiped away.
Zhen Lan blinked with a bit of shrewd and sharp eyes under her eyebrows, and said: "Why did I just see that it was Brother Heng holding the hand of the elder sister? Did he take the initiative to let the elder sister serve him?"
Jia Heng's face looked a little unnatural, and he said: "You can't say that about what I want."
As he spoke, he gently pinched the girl's smooth and smooth chin. As he spoke, he suddenly came closer and pinched the two slightly moist petals to capture the sweet and fragrant fragrance.
Zhen Lan let out a "嘤咛" sound, and the sides of her fragrant and beautiful face seemed to be covered with a light blush. Under the beautiful willow eyebrows, the curved and thin eyelashes gently covered it, as if she was immersed in feeling that
The intimacy and pampering of the boy in python suit.
After a while, Zhen Lan's bright and bright eyes were shining softly under her beautiful eyebrows, and she gently moved the hand of the boy in the python suit that kept making trouble, and said: "Brother Heng, stop making trouble, wait until you get home."
Zhen Xi's beautiful eyebrows are as spiritual as a stream, her bright eyes seem to be filled with soft ripples, and her soft and gentle jade cheeks seem to be floating with two shallow blushes, which are rosy and moving.
Jia Heng gently took Zhen Xi's slender hand and said, "Xier, come here."
Zhen Xi's beautiful face was shy, and there seemed to be a hint of resentment in her sparkling bright eyes.
Brother Heng really...didn't you have enough trouble with your eldest sister just now?
I saw carriages rolling and rolling through the streets paved with bluestones, while the rows of houses on both sides gradually disappeared, and on the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jianxing, they seemed to be disappearing quietly.
…
…
At this moment, in the outer study room of Ningguo Mansion, past a brocade screen with a rosewood base, Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing were playing chess across an apricot-yellow chessboard.
Hearing the footsteps outside, Chen Xiao stood up, turned around, looked at the boy in the python suit, and said, "You're back? What should I say after entering the palace?"
Gu Ruoqing also turned around and stared at the beautiful green hair like a waterfall.
Jia Heng nodded, walked to the cases and said, "In a few days, there should be some action."
Chen Xiao frowned, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and asked in surprise: "Why is it in such a hurry?"
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "It won't start suddenly, but it will be a chronic poison. From the outside, it doesn't look like there is any big problem."
Under Chen Xiao's eyebrows, a gleam of wisdom appeared in his eyes, and he said: "That's fine, if he dies suddenly and suddenly, it will definitely cause the government and the public to look around with suspicion, and it will also cause turmoil."
Gu Ruoqing listened to the conversation between the two people, with a thoughtful look on his face.
If the new emperor dies, who will be the next emperor?
Jia Heng said: "Stop talking about this, I'm going to take a bath."
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at Jia Heng and thought to himself, he probably went to the palace to hang out with the millstone again.
Jia Heng, Chen Xiao, and Gu Ruoqing talked for a while, but didn't say much else. They called the maid to prepare hot water for a bath and change into simple clothes.
At this moment, a maid from outside entered the house, saluted Jia Heng, and said, "Your Majesty, Mistress Lian has sent Miss Ping to invite your Majesty to come and worship the ancestors."
Jia Heng gathered his thoughts, left the wing, came to the eaves of the corridor, and raised his eyes to see Ping'er.
Ping'er said softly: "Your Majesty, the old lady has been waiting for a long time."
Jia Heng said: "Let's go over here."
While the two were talking, they went to the Jia family ancestral hall together without any delay.
On both sides of the ancestral hall, pines and cypresses are evergreen. In the winter, the trees are lush and green, with smoke in them.
At this moment, some men, women, and children of the Jia family stood in darkness in the ancestral hall. The men of the Jia family who had official status were wearing official robes of different grades, while the women were wearing imperial makeup.
Accompanied by Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, Jia's mother was dressed in rich clothes, with a head full of pearls. She leaned on a cane and stood under the eaves of the corridor. With a kind smile on her face, she saw Jia Heng and said in a reproachful tone: "
Brother Heng, why did you come back so late? I was waiting for you."
Jia Heng walked quickly and approached, bowed to Jia's mother, and said: "I just entered the palace to meet with the Holy One. The Holy One stayed for a meal, and then we had a conversation."
Jia Mu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
This is a great encounter between the Holy Family and it is not inferior to the late emperor, which is a good thing.
At this moment, Jia Heng stood in the middle and looked at the second Duke Rong Ning on the altar table in the hall. Although the portrait at this time was more freehand, some simple outlines could also be seen.
Because Jia Heng was granted the title of Prince of the County, he could be said to be a glorious figure, and on top of the confession was placed the imperial edict of the title and the iron certificate of the alchemy.
With the eldest Confucian of the Jia family presiding over the ceremony, the ancestor worship ceremony came to an end at the wrong time.
The Jia clan members dispersed, and Jia Heng also returned to sit down in the Jia family hall. He just picked up the tea cup, lowered his head and took a sip of the tea, thinking about the court situation.
At this time, a young boy entered the hall and reported to Jia Heng: "Your Majesty, there is a man outside who calls himself Xu Kai. He has submitted a name card to the palace and wants to see the Prince."
It turns out that Xu Kai was an official in Runing Prefecture, Henan Province, and was later transferred to Taiwan as Chief Envoy. Years passed in a flash, and this former Imperial Lecturer had quite a lot of local experience.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he stood up and left the hall, heading towards the Yimen of Ningguo Mansion. At this moment, he looked at Xu Kai and greeted, "Brother Xu."
Xu Kai stood up, raised his fists and saluted Jia Heng, and said, "I have met Prince Wei."
Jia Heng looked at the elegant Xu Kai and said warmly: "Brother Xu, long time no see."
Xu Kai raised his eyes to look at Jia Heng and said with emotion: "Prince Wei, after so many years, his demeanor is even better than before."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries, led into the hall, sat down, and the servants offered them tea, then bowed and left.
Xu Kaidao said: "I came to Beijing this time to report my work to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I am waiting for you."
Jia Heng thought for a while and asked, "What does the official department mean?"
"Probably he is taking over as the governor of Taiwan, starting from the second rank, and assisting in civil affairs." Xu Kai calmed down and said, "Mr. Feng has retired and returned to Fuzhou to recuperate."
Because Feng Zheng, the former governor of Taiwan and the former chief envoy to Fujian, was also the nephew of the Empress Dowager Feng. Due to his old age, Xu was not accustomed to the climate and had physical problems while performing his duties, so he reported to the court. This also gave Xu Kai the opportunity to step in as a replacement.
.
Of course, this is also because Taiwan is a new territory and not a big province.
Jia Heng asked: "How is the recent civil affairs situation in Taiwan and other places?"
"Immigrants from Fujian settled in and built a seaport. Ships and boats were loaded with commercial goods, and there was a steady flow of traffic." Xu Kaidao.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Taiwan is China's outpost on the ocean. In the past, it was occupied by pirates, which greatly harmed the interests of the country's maritime trade. In the future, as the governor of Taiwan, you should provide good care to the people and support the country's maritime trade."
Trade escort.”
Xu Kai nodded, with an inexplicable color surging in his eyes.
Xu Kai hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering his words, and said: "Prince Wei, I heard that Your Majesty was so angry because of the rebellion between the Wei and Liang vassals... but is it true?"
Because Xu Kai was a foreign minister and did not know much about these changes in Beijing.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "The King of Wei was confused for a moment, and he and the King of Liang actually forced the palace to rebel. At that time, I was also quite shocked."
Although it was with his help that King Wei succeeded in forcing the palace, he obviously could not blame Xu Kai.
Xu Kai frowned and remained silent for a moment.
Jia Heng said: "Emperor Daxing has already dealt with the rebellious actions of the Wei and Liang vassals. Moreover, the new emperor has succeeded to the throne. It is difficult for you and me to discuss the final decision."
It is now the first year of Jianxing. As time goes by, the ups and downs of the Chongping period will gradually be hidden in the clouds of history.
While the two were talking, they came to the side hall to talk together.
Xu Kai sat down and said: "Your Majesty, I came all the way. After the New Deal, local governments and counties paid more taxes and levied more silver. However, the local area was short of silver, and the people often sought merchants to exchange it. Therefore, silver is expensive and grain is cheap.
There are actions that harm farmers."
Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at Xu Kai and said: "In this matter, the previous New Deal abolished the two yuan and replaced it with the yuan, and issued banknotes to the city, which may be able to alleviate the lack of silver in the local tax office."
Among the many new policies proposed by Jia Heng, the abolition of the two policies and the reform of Yuan Dynasty was the most unsuccessful national policy because in the agricultural feudal era, financial means were limited by the technical conditions of the times.
Xu Kai nodded and said: "I don't know about other places, but in Henan, there are not many uses for banknotes."
Jia Heng said warmly: "The area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is widely used. It is also where trade is prosperous, the gentry is rich, and paper money is widely used among merchants."
In the southeast, a place that has been prosperous and prosperous since ancient times, there are more people who use silver.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Nowadays, local gold and silver mines are being mined, which can replenish the relevant silver coins, widely produce silver coins, and alleviate the shortage of silver."
Xu Kaidao: "Your Majesty is absolutely right."
Jia Heng said: "After serving as deputy chief envoy in Henan for another one or two years, he will be able to go to the local area to serve as an envoy. You will be transferred to the local area to gain experience, and then you can be put to great use in the capital in the future."
Xu Kai was a member of the Hanlin elite. After serving as a prefect, he was promoted to Deputy Chief Envoy, which was considered a relatively fast promotion. It was logical that he would be promoted to Chief Envoy in the future after being transferred to the next level of Inspector.
In the future, when he will be in charge of the country, he will introduce Xu Kai to the cabinet.
Xu Kai nodded, and the two of them chatted for a while.
Xu Kai said goodbye, and Jia Heng watched Xu Kai leave. He stood there in silence for a long time, planning to go to Nuanxiangwu to see Xichun.
Grand View Garden, Nuanxiangwu
The red polygonum flowers are deep in the courtyard, the waves are clear and the wind is cold. In the evening, the sky is dark and unclear, but the lights in the wing were turned on early. Looking from a distance, there is a warm atmosphere of home.
Behind a hanging red felt curtain, the warm fragrance was blowing on her face, refreshing her heart and soul. Xichun was dressed in a light red dress and sat behind the desk. Her wrists were as white as snow. She was holding a brush and drawing on the rice paper.
Under the sunlight from the balcony window, the girl's soft and graceful face sometimes showed a hint of shame and embarrassment, clearly indicating that she was unsettled and found it difficult to write.
Xichun sighed softly and put the paintbrush in her hand on the pen holder, her beautiful eyes shining slightly.
Ever since Brother Heng had been intimate with her that day, he has never been seen in Nuanxiangwu again, and I don't know what happened.
For a girl with hair-length hair, this is Huaichun's age. The previous "seal" confirmation from Jia Heng has already made Xichun feel ups and downs, worrying about gains and losses.
The girl painted for a while, but she felt really restless. She sat down, a look of sadness appeared on her fragrant and beautiful face, and her heart was full of resentment.
Since that day, Brother Heng hasn't visited her in the past few days.
The maid enters the painting sitting on a soft couch under the window, holding the soles of her shoes.
However, at this moment, a voice that sounded like Jia Heng's was heard outside the corridor: "Is the fourth sister in the house?"
Xichun was just thinking wildly when she suddenly heard the voice of her lover whom she had longed for. She couldn't help but feel happy. She turned her eyes and saw that her face was full of joy and she called out in a low voice: "Brother Heng."
As he spoke, footsteps sounded one after another, and Jia Heng was seen walking quickly from outside.
Xichun raised her beautiful eyebrows, and there was an inexplicable joy in her heart, and she asked: "Brother Heng, why are you here?"
Jia Heng stepped forward quickly, looked at the childish Xichun, his eyes were warm and harmonious, and said with a smile: "Come here to see you, the fourth sister is painting again."
The cold little girl in the past also has a little smile on her face.
Xichun, with her bright face, seemed to lightly lick her pink lips and said, "It's okay to be alone in the room."
Jia Heng nodded and asked, "Why didn't you go and play with your sister Lin and sister Xue?"
Xichun said: "There is no past."
Jia Heng came closer, took Xichun's slender hand, held it in his hand, the hand was soft and smooth, and whispered: "Fourth sister, is it cold in such a cold weather?"
Xichun's face as fair as jade suddenly showed two faint blushes. When her eyebrows were lowered, she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, I'm not cold."
Brother Heng, hold people's hands as soon as you come over.
Immediately, the girl felt that her delicate body was brought into the arms of the young man, and his breath was similar.
And Xichun's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and half of her delicate body seemed to be softened by it.
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "Fourth sister, let's go over there and talk."
With that said, he pulled Xichun's slender catkins, sat down on the chair behind the desk, and said, "What are you painting, is the snow scene in the garden?"
Xichun's willow eyebrows were as curved as black and her bright eyes were sparkling. She said warmly: "Brother Heng, it snowed the day before yesterday. I wandered around in the garden and saw the beautiful snow scenery, so I painted a picture."
Jia Heng chuckled lightly, held the beauty's slender catkins in his hands, and said, "My sister is really becoming more elegant and romantic."
As he said that, he gently pinched the little lotus that had just exposed its sharp corners at the hem of Xichun's clothes. Suddenly, he felt that between his palms and fingers, he felt soft and elastic, moving back and forth inch by inch.
Xichun's exquisite and graceful body trembled, her graceful and quiet eyebrows were lowered, and her bright eyes were filled with traces of shame.
Jia Heng nodded, leaned into his ear, and whispered softly: "Fourth sister, have you missed me these days?"
Xichun felt the dampness and heat in her ears, and an inexplicable panic surged in her heart. Her face turned crimson, and she said in a daze, "I want to."
Jia Heng listened to the girl's shy words, grabbed Xichun's shoulders, and now met the girl's eyes, met the shy and timid eyes, and softly called: "Fourth sister."
Xichun's willow eyebrows were curved, her eyes were as bright as water, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, eh~"
But he saw the young man in python suit approaching suddenly, and his warm breath rushed towards his face, seeming to drown him like a river.
Xichun's face was red and her ears were red, her curved and fine eyelashes were trembling slightly, and her exquisite and graceful body was half soft, like a ball of mud.
Xichun's maid entered the painting and had already left the wing with a pretty face, heading outside and standing at the door.
Jia Heng, on his side, gently hugged Xichun's thin shoulders, feeling the girl's heart throbbing, and a little affection welling up in his heart.
After a while, Xichun's fair face turned as red as a blush, her delicate pink lips were soft and slightly moist, and her bright eyes looked shyly at the boy in the python suit.
Jia Heng looked solemn at this moment, looked at that bright and charming face quietly, and said in a trembling voice: "Fourth sister."
Xichun said in an angry tone, feeling both happy and embarrassed at the same time, she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng knows how to bully people."
As soon as I came here, I knew I was frivolous towards her.
Jia Heng said quietly: "Then I won't bully my fourth sister next time."
Xichun: "..."
Did she mean that?
However, he saw the warm breath coming to his nostrils and hitting Xichun's face. Immediately, a light blush appeared on both sides of the fragrant and beautiful face.
Jia Heng gently hugged Xichun's slender shoulders, pinched the girl's smooth and round chin, and looked into her soft and slightly bright eyes, inevitably feeling a little fondness for her.
Immediately, he came closer again.
I feel the fragrant fragrance coming one after another, making me feel soft and moist.
Xichun curled her eyelashes and trembled, and when she lowered her eyes, she saw the boy in the python suit possessing her clothes, rolling around in the fragrant makeup. The girl's face was as red as drunk, and she said in a trembling voice: "Heng
elder brother……"
Immediately, the girl's delicate body trembled slightly, and under the willow leaves' slender eyebrows, her bright eyes could vaguely see the mist scattering, and she reached out and gently hugged Xichun's shoulders.
The girl raised her head slightly and raised her beautiful neck, like a swan.
I don't know how long it took, but Jia Heng looked at Xichun, whose face had turned rosy to her petite earlobes, and said, "Did the old lady send someone over to mention your marriage?"
Xichun's face was as red as drunkenness, and her voice was full of softness and charm as she said, "I am in Dongfu, and Brother Heng is the one who decides on the wedding."
For a moment, Jia Heng flew sideways under the sword-shaped eyebrows on his temples. His eyes flickered and he looked at Xichun like dew, and said, "Fourth sister, during this time, I will come over and spend more time with you."
Xichun said "Hmm", her beautiful and bright jade face was as red as drunkenness, and her heart was filled with both shame and inexplicable joy.
Duo Duo comes over to flirt with her, right?
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "Okay, after a few years, the fourth sister will not be left without a name or status."
Since he is not a member of the Jia clan, when he recognizes his ancestor and returns to the clan in the future, Yuan Yingtanxi will give him a title.
Well, it seems that he has never visited Yingchun.
When Xichun heard Jia Heng's words, her delicate body trembled. Under her eyebrow shaping, her bright eyes blinked, and her mind stirred up.
Fame? How could she and him be aboveboard?
Even if he is the king of the county, it is impossible for him to give her the title.
Thinking of this, the girl felt a sense of loss in her heart.
Jia Heng pinched the girl's pink face with a little baby fat and said with a smile: "Okay, you will know in the future."
Xichun suppressed the surprise in her heart and gently straightened the messy clothes. Her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of blush, which became even brighter under the light, and said: "Brother Heng, it's already dark.
.”
Jia Heng looked warm, put his arm around Xichun's shoulders, and said with a chuckle: "Then let's have dinner together, we are both a little hungry now."
Xichun responded softly, her heart filled with joy.
