Chapter 1516 Jia Zheng: He is truly an outstanding ancestor! (Please vote for me at the end of the month~)
The first year of Jianxing, the third day of the first lunar month
Jia Heng stayed at Lin's house until noon. Without spending any more time, he left Lin's house and returned to Ningguo Mansion.
Grand View Garden, Zhujin Tower
Wearing a light red double-breasted dress to welcome the spring, she has a beautiful bun. Under the light of the lights, her pink and plump face is bright and moving.
At this moment, Yingchun was alone in the wing room. She was quite bored and wanted to go to Cong Cui'an to look for Miaoyu and play chess.
Siqi whispered: "The day before yesterday, Mistress Lian said that Miaoyu should be pregnant in the next two months, and no one outside would bother her."
Yingchun nodded and said, "Then I won't go. I'll go see the fourth sister."
With that said, he got up and left Zhujin Tower quickly.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside, saying warmly: "Is the second sister in the house?"
Jia Heng walked around a wooden brocade screen, walked into the hall, and said, "Second sister."
Yingchun, who was on the other side of the room, stared at the young man in the python suit and said in surprise: "Brother Heng, you...why are you here?"
In the past memories of welcoming the spring, Jia Heng had never been to Zhujin Tower at all. It was undoubtedly quite a surprise to see Jia Heng suddenly.
Under Jia Heng's sharp eyebrows, his eyes were as warm as the early winter sun, almost warm. He almost stared at Yingchun and said softly: "It's the Chinese New Year, so I'll come over to see you."
While speaking, he turned to look at Si Qi aside and asked, "Is Si Qi here too?"
Tall, plump, and as fierce as fire, this is Qin Siqi. I wonder if he has an affair with his cousin Pan Youan like in the original work.
Under his thick eyebrows with a hint of heroism, Si Qi raised his eyes to look at the young man in the python suit, bowed happily and said, "I have met the county prince."
After saying that, he came to the other side, picked up the blue and white porcelain teapot, and started to pour tea. However, he saw that the tea cup was steaming with steam, and the fragrance curled up.
Jia Heng's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were as warm as the rising sun, and he said: "Second sister, why didn't you play with your sister Xue today?"
Yingchun has always been known as the "Two Woods", so I don't usually look for him.
This kind of dull temperament is really a bit immovable.
Yingchun said: "Didn't Sister Xue go to the wedding ceremony today?"
Jia Heng said: "I went there yesterday, I should be back today."
Yingchun said: "Brother Heng, is there something wrong?"
Jia Heng was speechless for a moment, stared at Yingchun, and said warmly: "Let's play a game of chess."
Yingchun responded softly, but she felt a little surprised.
At this moment, Si Qi took an apricot chessboard with a bright smile, handed it over, and looked at the two of them.
Jia Heng picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chess floor with a clatter. He stared at Yingchun and said softly: "Second sister, what do you usually do?"
Yingchun nodded and said: "I didn't do anything, just played chess or something."
Jia Heng took the chess piece, placed it on the chess floor, and said softly: "Second sister, let me do it later."
Yingchun's face paused slightly, her voice was dull, and she said softly: "It's nothing."
After a while, while the two were talking, a game was played.
Yingchun nodded, paused slightly, and said, "Brother Heng, you lose."
Under Jia Heng's eyebrows, there seemed to be some surprise on his face. He smiled and said, "Did you lose? Then let's play another game. The second sister is really amazing at chess."
Under the willow eyebrows that are as curved as the spring, he looked at the young man in python suit opposite with a focused gaze, and a suspicion inevitably surged in his heart.
The girl is just poor at speaking, not that she doesn't understand anything.
Jia Heng's eyes were warm, and he smiled and said: "Second sister, you are not young at all."
Yingchun said "hmm", and for some reason, an indescribable shame suddenly surged in her heart, and she said in a trembling voice: "I am already seventeen this year."
Under Jia Heng's sword-shaped eyebrows, his eyes were as bright as water. He stared at the girl with beautiful eyebrows and said warmly: "It's time to marry someone."
Qin Siqi was holding a lacquered wooden tray with a tea cup on it, which was like hot water from young bamboo shoots and tea leaves. The steam was rising and he was listening to the conversation between Jia Heng and Yingchun.
Yingchun's face as white as snow was covered with a bright blush, her beautiful head was slightly lowered, and the chess pieces in her hand were flipping back and forth.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Let's play chess."
Yingchun said softly "Hmm", and then the two started playing chess.
I don't know how long it took, but the sky gradually turned into the evening. Siqi was holding a fire folder in his hand and lit a candlestick on the lacquered wood high table. The orange candlelight was as soft as water, fluttering on the embroidered screen.
Jia Heng stared at Yingchun. Under his sword-shaped eyebrows, his eyes were piercing and he said: "Second sister, it's getting late. I'll go back first."
Yingchun said "hmm" and raised her beautiful head with green hair like a waterfall. Her cheeks were like jelly, and her face with white and greasy skin seemed to still have some unfinished thoughts.
Qin Siqi smiled and said, "I'll see you off, uncle."
While talking, he stood up and followed Jia Heng quickly out of the wing.
After bidding farewell to Jia Heng, Si Qi turned around and returned, entering the warm pavilion in the wing. Under his two thick eyebrows, he looked at Yingchun with bright eyes, a little angry at him, and said: "Girl, why didn't you say a few words to the uncle just now?
"
"We were playing chess just now, and we didn't say anything." Yingchun licked her slightly pink lips and said softly, "I didn't say anything either."
"Girl, you can tell me more about your marriage." Siqi looked at Yingchun under his thick eyebrows, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said.
"Ah?" Yingchun looked at Siqi in surprise.
What does her marriage have to do with Brother Heng? How can this be explained?
"Uncle, you can make decisions for the girl from now on." Siqi seemed to have noticed the doubts in Yingchun's heart, and slowly came to Yingchun and said.
Yingchun said: "Brother Heng won't care about this. Previously, Brother Heng didn't worry much about my eldest sister's marriage."
Si Qi said: "The second lady is different from the eldest lady. At that time, the second wife of Xifu was not having trouble with the uncle."
"Okay, I don't want to hear this anymore." Yingchun waved her hand and whispered.
Seeing this, Si Qi felt a little helpless and didn't say anything else.
…
…
Jia Heng left the Zhujin Tower where Yingchun was, and immediately headed towards Hengwu Garden to see Baochai in Hengwu Garden.
Grand View Garden, Hengwu Garden
There was a candle burning in the square room, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere in the early spring when the snow had not yet melted.
At this moment, Baochai was sitting on a soft couch under the glass pavilion window. She was carefully embroidering with female red needle and thread in her hand. When she lowered her head, her moist apricot eyes were crystal clear.
.
At this moment, Ying'er's surprised and incomprehensible voice came from outside, saying: "Your Majesty, you are here."
Jia Heng said "hmm" and immediately, without saying much, slowly entered the side room and looked at Baochai who was sitting in the Nuan Pavilion.
"Sister Xue." Jia Heng's face paused slightly, his eyes were warm, he stared at Baochai and said softly.
Baochai's face, as white as snow, was filled with joy, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, you are here."
As Jia Heng spoke, he smiled and said, "Well, I just came to see you."
With that said, he walked closer, took Baochai's soft and white hand, and said, "What are you sewing at the moment?"
"Nothing, just some children's clothes." Baochai's face, which was as white as pear blossoms, had a hint of blushing. Between his lowered eyes, a slight smile appeared in his eyebrows, and he lowered his voice.
said the voice.
Jia Heng chuckled lightly, stared at the fair-skinned beauty, and joked: "Sister Xue wants to have a child."
This is also a natural thought for women who have reached a certain age, and it is true that there is a title in the family that needs to be inherited.
Baochai nodded, his eyes were soft and soft, and he said in a charming voice: "You are not young now, so you should have it."
Jia Heng gently held Baochai's slender hair and whispered: "Yes, let's have one in a while, that's all."
Baochai suddenly remembered what Aunt Xue had suggested to her when she returned to Ning yesterday. She stared at Jia Heng and said, "Yesterday, I had a conversation with my mother. She mentioned the royal merchant business in the palace. I don't know why.
, it was taken down, it seems because the Sixth Palace is in charge of the Xia family's affairs."
Jia Heng frowned, looked deeply, and said slowly: "Xia Shouzhong, the internal supervisor of the Sixth Palace, is the former empress."
Could it be a fight between Mopan and Tianniuer? It's not impossible.
He could guess some of the reasons for this matter.
Baochai nodded, and under Cuiyu's beautiful eyebrows, his moist apricot eyes were as bright as water, and said: "Brother Heng, if it really doesn't work, I won't do business in the palace."
Jia Heng thought for a while and whispered: "Don't worry, I will ask about the situation when I enter the palace in two days."
Baochai said "Hmm" and nestled her beautiful waterfall-like head in Jia Heng's arms. Her face, as white as snow, seemed to be filled with joy and inexplicable joy.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and gently put his arm around Baochai's shoulders, sighed, and said, "You should take care of the business at home."
There was a hint of shyness in Baochai's moist, slightly apricot eyes, and he said softly: "Brother Heng, Baoqin is taking care of all of this."
Jia Heng reached out and pinched Baochai's smooth and round chin, stared at Baochai and said: "Sister Xue, it's getting late. Let's have some dinner and go to bed early."
Baochai responded softly, and then followed Jia Heng to the side of a lacquered wooden table, and the two of them started eating together.
Baochai asked: "My second uncle asked me the day before yesterday, when will Brother Heng marry Baoqin?"
The two sisters of the Xue family have all married Brother Heng, and they will be able to serve Brother Heng well in the future.
Jia Heng said: "Baoqin and Xiangyun can only wait until after the national funeral to get married."
While talking, he gently put his arm around Baochai's shoulders and said, "Don't you think Sister Xue wants to have a child? Let's take a rest early."
Baochai responded, and her face, as white as snow, seemed to have two deep red blushes, shining brightly.
The two of them rested and said nothing again for the rest of the night.
…
…
Time flies, and before you know it, three days have passed. The snow covering the houses melted into water. The weather has undoubtedly become warmer, and the willows on both sides of the street are sprouting buds.
On this day, on Ningrong Street, which had been cleared of snow, the sound of horse hooves seemed to be heard on the streets paved with bluestones.
Jia Zheng dismounted in front of the Rongguo Mansion. At this moment, the young man came forward, pulled the reins, and said with a smile: "Master."
Jia Zheng nodded, and then, accompanied by his attendants, he walked up the steps and entered the Rongguo Mansion.
While he was talking, the news of Jia Zheng's return spread to the backyard like a gust of wind.
Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall
Mother Jia was wearing a tawny silk shirt and cotton robe, sitting on the Arhat bed, talking to Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang, accompanied by Sister Feng below.
When Jia Mu heard her grandmother's voice of warning, her kind and old face was filled with a prosperous smile.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "I was just saying that it's time to come back now."
After a while, Jia Zheng, accompanied by several young servants, entered the Rongqing Hall, bowed to Jia Mu, and said softly: "I have seen mother."
Under her gray eyebrows, Mother Jia looked at Jia Zheng kindly and said, "Zheng'er, you are back. Come on, let me take a look."
As he said that, he stared at Jia Zheng's dusty face and said comfortingly: "Zheng'er, you have really lost a lot of weight recently."
Jia Zheng asked: "Mom, how are you always in good health?"
Jia Mu smiled and said, "I am in good health. I usually eat well and drink well, and I am carefree."
Jia Zheng frowned and asked, "Mom, where is Baoyu? Why don't you see Baoyu?"
Jia Mu turned her eyes to Yuanyang and said softly: "He is resting in the house, Yuanyang, go and send someone to call him over."
Jia Zheng turned around and said: "When I was in Bashu, I heard that the officials and counties mentioned the great achievements of the late emperor, and there were quite a few unclear things in them."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "We have to wait until Ziyu comes over to tell us. He is now the king of the county."
When Jia Zheng heard this, his elegant and fair face also showed a look of joy, and he said: "Although I hurried and walked slowly on the road, I still missed the day of ancestor worship after all."
At this moment, Jia Zheng felt a little happy and inexplicable.
He is truly a distinguished and accomplished ancestor!
At this time, Mrs. Wang's face paused slightly, and she stared at Jia Zheng. Her eyes fell on Jia Zheng's crimson official robe, and she was inevitably overjoyed.
After a while, Baoyu was seen entering the hall from the outside. He bowed respectfully to Jia Zheng and said, "I have met my father."
Jia Zheng looked indifferent and asked: "Get up, how much of this book did you read when I was not at home? I have achieved fame."
Baoyu quickly said: "Back to my father, I was selected as a scholar before, and I just entered the Imperial College not long ago."
Baoyu had only passed the examination as a scholar before, but he could use the identity of Yinjian in the Imperial College and entered the Imperial College.
Jia Zheng nodded and said: "You may have to take Enke this year. You should review your homework carefully and strive for a spot on the gold list. Don't be too careless."
Jia Zheng did not reprimand him this time, or it may be that the ups and downs of his career in recent years gave Jia Zheng some new understanding of his official career.
Baoyu lowered his head, and his face, which looked like the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, looked quite dejected.
Jia Mu frowned and said, "Don't be so sullen when you come back. Baoyu has already entered the Imperial Academy. I don't know how many people have gone there. Baoyu, sit down next to grandma."
Although Baoyu has lost its aura since the psychic gem collapsed, due to inertia, Baoyu is still Jia Mu's favorite.
After all, Baoyu is Jia Mu's only grandson since Jia Lian was exiled.
As Jia Mu spoke, she turned to look at Jia Zheng and said with a smile: "Zheng'er, Baoyu is not young now, it's time to arrange a marriage for him."
Jia Zheng nodded and said: "It's time to get married. Only when we start a family can we start a career. I'll pay attention to it in Beijing these days."
Mother Jia stared at Yuanyang on the side and ordered: "Yuanyang, go and invite brother Heng over."
Yuanyang responded softly with a "Hey" and immediately walked quickly outside without saying anything else.
In the Divine Capital City, Ningguo Mansion, in the outer study room——
Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing were playing chess across an apricot-yellow chessboard, while Jia Heng was watching the game.
However, the game the two played was not Go, but chess.
Jia Heng said: "Xiaoxiao, get out of the car, get out of the car."
As he said that, he couldn't help but take the chess pieces on the chessboard and move towards the chessboard.
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, and with his bright and clear eyes, he seemed to glare back at Jia Heng. He pushed away Jia Heng's hand that was holding the chess pieces and said angrily: "You are a true gentleman who is silent while watching chess. You have already done this."
, be careful not to give any advice."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "What you did is not good, so I won't let you talk about it."
At this moment, Gu Ruoqing raised her beautiful eyebrows. When she raised her eyes, her beautiful eyes looked at the boy in the python suit with a bright smile. She picked up the chess piece and came closer.
Chen Xiao nodded, raised his eyes and glanced at the young man in the python suit, and said: "In the past few days, all the relatives have almost left. When will they come to the palace to meet the saint?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Let's wait until tomorrow. After paying homage to the late emperor, we will go see the new emperor."
The main thing is to meet Zhen Qing and mention sweet girl.
They are used from the same root, so why rush to fry them together?
Chen Xiao took a chess piece and whispered: "Recently in Jinyi Mansion, Qiu Liang has begun to investigate the internal eunuchs and female officials who accompanied the ship that went south."
Jia Heng frowned, a coldness surging in his eyes, his face covered with frost, and he said in a deep voice: "This person is like a mad dog, biting and biting non-stop."
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "How about I send someone to capture this person again."
Jia Heng said: "It doesn't matter. After the last assassination, Qiu Liang must be more vigilant and it will be difficult for him to succeed."
Chen Xiao heard this and nodded.
At this moment, Yuanyang entered the study. His duck-egg face with a few small freckles was full of joy, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, the second master is back. The old lady asked you to come over."
While Jia Heng was speaking, he stood up and whispered: "Xiaoxiao, you two are playing chess. I'll go over and take a look."
"Go." Chen Xiao said angrily, "I can finally play a good game of chess."
While talking, he came to the eaves of the corridor, stared at Yuanyang, and whispered: "Yuanyang, let's go there together."
Jia Heng walked quickly towards Rongguo Mansion along a long corridor with green paint and black tiles.
At this moment, Jia Mu was talking to Jia Zheng in Rongqing Hall.
At this moment, Lin Zhixiao's family quickly entered the Rongqing Hall, with a smile on their face and said: "Old lady, the prince is here."
After a while, Jia Heng was seen walking quickly into the hall. He was a young man with a stern face and sharp eyes. He said in a warm voice: "Old lady, when did the second master arrive?"
At this moment, Jia Zheng stared at the young man in a python suit who was wearing simple clothes. He stood up to greet him and said, "Zi Yu, you just arrived."
The young man in front of him is not much older than Baoyu, but he is already the king of the county, with a high status.
Jia Mu smiled, looked at the young man in the python suit and said, "Ziyu, take a seat here, you two can have a nice talk."
