A banquet started at the third hour of Youzheng and ended at the eighth hour of Haizheng. Except for Fan Yi who was very drunk, people such as Xie Zaiyi, Cai Quan, Dong Qian and others did not get drunk because they had business tomorrow. However,
Jia Heng sent them all back in a carriage.
Jia Heng returned to the backyard and saw that the lights in the flower hall were still on. He was not surprised at all and just walked along the corridor towards the eaves.
At this time, a woman standing under the eaves of the corridor turned around and went back to Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing was chatting with Sister Feng. At this time, with the support of Baozhu and Ruizhu, he quickly came out to welcome him, stood under the eaves of the corridor, and said, "Husband, why do you drink so much wine?"
With that said, he came over to help Jia Heng.
Jia Heng nodded, and as he entered the inner hall, he chuckled at Qin Keqing who was standing aside and said, "I've had a few drinks, and I smell of alcohol. Please ask someone to prepare some hot water. I'll take a bath later."
"Everyone has made preparations just now." Qin Keqing said softly.
Jia Heng nodded, then raised his head to look at Sister Feng who had followed in. He frowned and asked: "Sister-in-law Feng is so late and you haven't gone back yet?"
Sister Feng's charming young woman's face showed a soft smile, and she said crisply: "Brother Heng, I've been waiting for you for a long time. You are a very busy man. If I leave, I won't be able to find you again tomorrow.
Can’t find it.”
Jia Heng nodded, sat on the Grand Master's chair beside him, and said, "I've been really busy these past two days."
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Is that so? Speaking of which, you need to spare time these days for the ancestor worship that the old lady mentioned. There is also the celebration of the knighthood in the two houses. This is a major event for the whole family, and it needs to be done.
The last thing to do is the Lai family matter. The old lady, the madam urged me to say it. I can’t put it off any longer. Brother Heng will take care of it when he has time.
Already."
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said in a clear voice: "The ancestor worship banquet will only take place in these two or three days. As for the Lai family matter, people can investigate and deal with it tomorrow."
Tomorrow, after he has finished his business at the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, he will look for Qu and Zhao in Jinyi Mansion to help investigate the situation of the Sanhe Gang's leaders.
By the way, in the past two days, the emperor was planning to move Niu Jizong's position as the governor of Guoyong Camp.
"Let's slow down for two or three days. It's time to start planning. It's better to keep tense. Otherwise, the Sanhe Gang will be the most likely to jump over the wall. I'm here to gather the clan members to worship their ancestors and celebrate their promotion. It's just the right time for the Sanhe Gang members.
To paralyze."
Jia Heng's eyes were dim and he made a plan in his mind.
At this moment, Sister Feng was looking at the young man opposite with her eyes that were looking forward to Shen Fei. When she saw that his eyes were thinking, she sighed in her heart.
This young man might be planning something big again.
And the faint smell of blood on the boy just now...
It was clear that he was doing something big and decisive outside.
As for Qin Keqing on the side, she also stared at her man with a pair of charming and flowing eyes, her heart filled with joy and worry.
Although what they were saying just now was that they hoped that Jia Heng could come back and spend more time with them, but just as power is a man's aphrodisiac, and powerful men, of course, it is best to be young men. As for bald and greasy men, well, not
No, they are all self-propelled aphrodisiacs in human form in the eyes of women.
The busyness of a small civil servant and the busyness of a big political figure are two different things. The former can't be said to have a spoiled wife staying alone in the boudoir, and secret resentment arises, but the latter just watches the TV at seven o'clock in the evening to watch you pointing out the country and scolding the party.
Qiu, are the senses the same?
It can be said that vanity has been greatly satisfied.
Everyone is happy to welcome this kind of people when they go out and greet them with smiles. Work is almost a part of life. Let alone 996, it is 007. Everyone is happy with it.
In this compartment, Sister Feng had confirmed the date, and the smile on her face became even stronger. She said with a smile: "Then you two talk, I'll go over first."
It was almost eleven o'clock at night, and Sister Feng didn't want to stay too long to avoid gossiping, so she greeted Ping'er, the women and maids of Zhou Rui's family, and left the flower hall to go to the West Mansion.
Jia Heng watched Qin Keqing escorting Sister Feng out of the flower hall. He put the tea cup on the small table aside and was about to get up when he saw the bead curtain rustling. Qingwen was wearing a emerald lotus-colored water-sleeved skirt, twisting her waist.
When he came closer, he said softly: "Master, the hot water is ready. I will serve you... to take a bath."
As she spoke, the girl's face flushed a little, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
It's just that Qingwen has always been stubborn. Although her head is lowered, she still looks at Jia Heng with a pair of bright eyes.
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "Well, okay, you go over there first and get ready to change your clothes."
As soon as he saw Qingwen's sudden change in shyness, he guessed that the girl had an indescribable intention that he didn't even notice, that she wanted... a kiss.
Of course, this is not what Qingwen thinks in her heart, but the desire of a girl with a green first love to be close to the person she likes. This psychological need may not be physical, but more verbal, but physical contact is exactly what
is essential.
Thinking of the jelly-like softness, Jia Heng also felt something strange in his heart. He watched Qingwen turn around and leave, his eyes lingering on the jelly for a moment, then he regained his composure, sighed, and murmured, "
Wine is the matchmaker for sex... In life, eating and drinking of men and women are nothing more than wine, sex and wealth. The more you live in the second generation, the more you realize how alluring power and sex are."
On the other side of the room, Qin Keqing also came from under the eaves of the corridor. There was a bit of worry on her hibiscus jade face, and she said, "Husband, the smell of blood was so heavy on your body just now. Did something happen to you?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "You can smell it. I said that the smell of alcohol has not been suppressed."
As he spoke, he took his wife's slender hand and played with it. The fingers were slender, smooth and tender, and the nails with impatiens juice were bright and beautiful under the candlelight.
"The reason why I can still resist the invasion of some women...my wife must take half of the credit." Jia Heng didn't know why, but this thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
This is what it means to have a fairy wife in your family, who is naturally beautiful.
Qin Keqing was a little embarrassed when Jia Heng played with her beautiful hands. Her eyebrows were filled with anger and joy, and she said softly: "Husband, you haven't answered me yet? With that bloody aura, you are too dangerous outside..."
"It's not that dangerous," Jia Heng said with a smile, "Okay, I'll tell you later. I'm going to take a bath first, so as not to poison my beloved."
Qin Keqing also chuckled and said, "Then go ahead."
Baozhu and Ruizhu on the side looked at the couple talking and laughing, with happy smiles on their faces.
After a second thought, they all looked at each other and saw happiness in each other's eyes.
However, I invariably remembered that the young lady almost missed her marriage because of the two of them's partiality.
"Fortunately, the young lady and the master didn't...otherwise, the young lady would never find such a good home in this life." Bao Zhu frowned and lowered his eyes in thought.
Jia Heng's side of the room headed towards the side room.
It was still the same room where I bathed that day, with a slender figure reflected on the screen, it was Qingwen.
When she saw Jia Heng coming in, Qingwen said softly: "Sir, I checked it with my hand. The water temperature is just right. Take a shower and change clothes quickly."
Jia Heng nodded and said softly: "Come over and help me change my clothes."
Qingwen's cheeks turned red, she pointed at herself and said softly: "Me?"
Even before, the young master had never asked her to help him change clothes. Now...
Qingwen suddenly felt short of breath, lowered her head, and was about to respond.
But I heard the young man laugh and say: "Then you should turn around first and don't peek."
"Ah..." Qingwen raised her beautiful face, opened her mouth slightly, then turned around hurriedly, and said angrily: "Young Master is playing tricks on others, who would peep in, you will get the eye of a needle."
Jia Heng smiled, and while removing his clothes, he asked warmly: "Is there nothing going on at home these two days?"
"No, it's just that the young master didn't come back last night. Grandma was worried, and..." Qingwen stroked a strand of hair hanging down her front with one hand, and her crisp voice contained a hint of coquettishness that was unique to girls of this age.
There was a look of joy and shame on her pretty and beautiful face, and she murmured in her heart, "And I..."
Jia Heng naturally caught the girl's mood. He was silent for a moment, put on his wooden clogs and was about to step into the bathtub.
But I heard the girl say in confusion, "Sir, do you still bring a dagger when taking a shower?"
Jia Heng: "..."
His eyes fell on the screen projection on the side, and he was stunned for a moment, only to see the shadow reflected by the candlelight on the silk screen.
"Young Master has the smell of blood on his body. He carries a dagger to defend himself..." Qingwen said softly, faintly realizing something, her cheeks were flushed and hot.
Fortunately, as the sound of "crash" sounded, Jia Heng had already entered the bathtub. In order to resolve the embarrassment, he casually said: "Well, a gentleman hides weapons in his body, carries a sharp knife, and has a murderous intention...
…”
At the end of the day, Jia Heng couldn't continue to talk nonsense.
Qingwen responded with a trembling voice, silently picked up the washbasin filled with water, and used a towel to scrub Jia Heng's back, her cheeks turning red.
But at this moment, the young man caught him with his bare hands.
When he saw those quiet, deep eyes staring at him, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Son..."
"Qingwen..."
"Why……"
…
…
Suer, the lips are parted.
A crystal silk thread glows with translucent luster under the light.
Jia Heng turned around and said softly: "Qingwen, take a bath."
Qingwen's white cheeks were already stained with blush, she pursed her glossy pink lips, stretched out her hands to scrub the young man's back with a towel, and said in a trembling voice: "Master... I know more than a hundred words."
Yes, when will you... teach me the following words?"
Jia Heng thought for a while and said warmly: "Let's wait until we get off work tomorrow. I want to have some leisure time tomorrow. By the way, Qingwen..."
"What's wrong?" Qingwen raised her beautiful face and said in a clear voice.
Jia Heng turned around, chuckled, and said: "That day, if Baoyu wants to enter the inner hall, you can just stop him, but after all, in front of the old lady, you still have to give the second wife of Xifu some dignity. Well, I
It’s not that I blame you, I’m just afraid that it will affect your reputation. If you get a reputation of being frivolous in the two houses..."
Jia Heng said, looking at Qingwen's pretty face, he said warmly: "Why are you still aggrieved?"
But he saw the girl's eyelashes filled with tears, pursed her lips and said nothing, looking aggrieved.
"I'm not a frivolous person." Qingwen choked and said. For some reason, she felt a grievance that she had never felt before hit her heart.
Who was she doing that day?
Why are you so frivolous?
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to support the girl's slender shoulders, looked at the girl's bright face, and said: "I just said, I don't blame you. You did the right thing that day and stopped Baoyu. After I saw it, I was also very happy.
, how can I put it, you are a person who comes from an old lady’s house after all, and you are just worried about others chewing your tongue."
He knew very well that the girl in front of him had a violent temper and had never been a lowly and petty person. It could be said that among the maids in the two houses, if he wanted to judge the maids who had no servility.
Qingwen is the only one!
Moreover, he could also understand the girl's feelings. After eating jelly that day, she already had a deep love for him.
Throughout the ages, how many little girls have turned against their parents and made nasty remarks to them because of love?
It can be said that, let alone a Jia Mu who has not served for a few days, even her own mother can still be criticized.
"Young master, don't you blame me?" Qingwen listened to the concern expressed in the gentle words of the person opposite her, raised her bright eyes that were about to cry, and said in a clear voice.
Jia Heng sighed and said: "How can I blame you? On the contrary, I am worried about you. I can help you calm down some gossip in the East Mansion, but I will try my best to calm you down in the West Mansion. It's just you.
...As a little girl, if someone gossips about you, and you hear it, you will feel angry, and I feel sorry for you."
In life, going according to one's heart is easy to say, but it requires the support of strength. This strength is not only power, but also inner strength.
It doesn't matter to him. How can a bunch of petty gossips, ants and insects matter to him?
But Qingwen is obviously not such a person.
If possible, he still hopes that Qingwen can live a happier life.
Qingwen blinked and seemed to understand Jia Heng's intention of being like a father and a brother. She felt sweet and said in a clear voice: "Young master, if I talk about these things in the future, you just..."
"There's no need to swear." Jia Heng smiled, stretched out his thumb and gently wiped the tears on the girl's face, and said, "Just remember it from now on."
Qingwen nodded slightly, and then scrubbed Jia Heng's back.
After washing for two quarters of an hour, Jia Heng also changed into a clean middle coat. After letting Qingwen go back to rest, he went to the side room to look for Qin Keqing.
The candlelight in the wing room was on. Qin Keqing was sitting on the bed, holding a book in his hand. The title page was clearly marked with the words Three Kingdoms. Seeing Jia Heng enter the room, he raised his bright eyes and said with a soft smile: "Husband."
Jia Heng nodded, sat on the bed, put his arms around Qin Keqing's shoulders, and said softly: "Let me tell you what happened during the day."
Qin Keqing put away the book, her beautiful eyes were flowing, and she said: "Husband, please tell me."
Jia Heng simply explained why he had a bloody smell on his body and was now leading the task of rectifying gangs in Dongcheng. When Qin Keqing heard that Jia Heng was kidnapped and killed, his face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice: "This... is also...
It’s too dangerous.”
Jia Heng chuckled and said: "As the saying goes, wealth can only be found in danger. Now I am running errands in the palace and will die if I don't do it. How can I do it?"
Qin Keqing's face, as beautiful as a flower, showed a look of sadness, and suddenly, the beauty let out a faint sigh.
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "What are you sighing for?"
Qin Keqing rested her head on her husband's shoulder, with a pretty and bright face with a hint of tranquility, and said: "I'm thinking, the gentlemen and wives over there in the West Mansion are enjoying themselves day by day.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, husbands have to fight with their lives. The situation between people is really unfair..."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "If you don't risk your life, you will end up in a bad situation in the future, just like a bird that has eaten all its food and throws it into the forest, leaving the vast white land with a clean ending."
When Qin Keqing heard this, she was startled. She turned her head and looked at Jia Heng with shining eyes.
Jia Heng said: "What's going on over there in Xifu? You've seen it during this period. If you don't check the accounts, how many years can it last according to the corrupt methods of those men and their wives? There are also a bunch of evil slaves below who are bullying and hiding things from others.
