Silent night shrouded Ningguo Mansion, the lights in the inner house were on, and there was a tranquility like water.
Jia Heng and Qin Keqing were talking.
Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said, "By the way, it's a coincidence that the second child is sister-in-law Feng's son. I was just thinking about what to give her."
If a couple does that kind of thing together, if there are no children, it means that the parents are at odds with each other, and the siblings are neighbors.
"Did she tell you?" Jia Heng smiled and said.
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "Yes, last time we talked about Nian Geng, we both told each other that we were expecting a baby. She is on the second day of September."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Where's yours?"
Qin Keqing rolled her eyes at Jia Heng, licked her peach-red lips, and said softly: "It's August 14th. We got married on August 15th, but we didn't have any children that day."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "How about I make a replacement in two days?"
Qin Keqing's hibiscus face was bright and charming, and she said softly: "Children are born only once a year, and they are gone. How can we make up for it? It is a coincidence that the children born on August 14th are born in August.
When you are over fifteen, you should marry your husband after you have had children."
"That year, I could do it twice in a row." Jia Heng said softly, putting his arms around the slender shoulders of the graceful and slender beauty, and a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind.
Born yesterday, reborn today.
Qin Keqing smiled and said, "Where is your husband's son?"
Jia Heng said: "Me? It should be the sixth day of March."
Qin Keqing remembered the sixth day of March in her mind, then raised her eyes full of autumn water and said with a smile: "My husband hasn't said yet what kind of birth gift I should buy for Sister-in-law Feng."
Jia Heng frowned, swallowed back the words "gold collar", and thought for a moment, "Just give it away. If it doesn't work, let someone collect two hundred taels of silver from Aunt Cai and buy some more.
"
To put it bluntly, Qin Keqing is the mistress of the current Ningguo Mansion. She manages the household through the maids and Baozhu, issues monthly routines to the servants in the mansion, and oversees the purchase of rice, grains, fruits and vegetables.
On the other side of the accounting room in the inner house, Aunt Cai and a accounting gentleman were calculating the accounts, and Aunt Cai's daughter-in-law and a woman who was originally from Ningguo Mansion. As for Bi'er, Zhu'er led some women, and the maids were there.
The inner house listened to Qin Keqing's instructions.
In the front yard, Aunt Cai's husband, Uncle Li and Jiao Datong were in charge of the young servants.
After checking the accounts in Xifu, Jia Heng was somewhat alert. There is a saying that people are not good for a hundred days, and flowers are not as good as flowers. Whether it is for preservation of sentiment or other considerations, it is necessary to establish a more standardized financial system.
Revenue and expenditure system.
Jia Heng looked at Qin Keqing on the side and said, "Having taken care of the house these past two days, are you used to it? Are you bored?"
Women in this era will not have any charity dinners or high-end cocktail parties. They can only find something to do at home. Either learn from Pan Lipang and others and study the secrets of boudoir, or learn from Feng Wan.
Or you can show off your dignity in the inner house, or you can make some acupuncture in the room, and then they can rub the dominoes together in Jia Mu's room, and have a drinking ceremony during the holidays.
"So, when I was reading A Dream of Red Mansions in my previous life, whoever had a baby in the Rongguo Mansion, you would invite the host, and I would invite the host, because this is the daily life of a housewife. And the reason why I was ennobled was that Jia Mu wanted to find her.
What a troupe, celebrating me is just a way to have fun, the real purpose is to have fun."
Jia Heng thought about this and raised his eyes to look at Qin Keqing, who was holding a banquet to worship his ancestors the day after tomorrow. There was a bit of joy in his eyebrows and his face became brighter and brighter. He thought to himself, maybe this is life.
His wife, who is good at coquettishness and charming, is almost a man's gift between the bed curtains, but this does not mean that she is just a little woman hiding behind the scenes. On the contrary, she is quite assertive in many things, and her personality is more like Sister Feng.
a refraction of.
"Good at style and beauty, but in the Feng Yue Bao Jian, it is Sister Feng who is reflected. What's interesting is that both of them have straightforward temperaments, but one is at the mercy of others... In the words of the original work of The Red Mansion, relatively
Be conservative and don’t even change your posture. If you change places with Ke Qing in the original work, Jia Zhen wouldn’t dare to take advantage of Sister Feng.”
Thoughts surged in Jia Heng's mind. Now that he was in the Red Mansion, facing these characters, he felt more and more that this masterpiece was like a work of art that was ingenious and ingenious. Every place was worthy of repeated reading.
After reviewing it for ten years, it has been added and deleted five times.
The couple were talking, Qingwen twisted her waist, a subtle blush appeared on her pretty face, and said in a pretty voice: "Sir, hot water and a change of clothes are ready. Go over and take a bath."
Jia Heng nodded to Qingwen, looked at Qin Keqing aside, and said with a smile: "I'll come as soon as I go."
With that said, she followed Qingwen towards the inner wing.
After entering the side room, Jia Heng took off his clothes, got into the bathtub, and said with a chuckle: "Qingwen, how many children do you have."
Qingwen was stunned for a moment, feeling happy in her heart, but she pretended to be sarcastic: "Young Master is so busy on weekdays, why do you want to ask about my birth?"
Jia Heng said: "Just ask."
Qingwen: "..."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "You are the maid in my room, so you have to ask me."
A hint of sadness appeared on Qingwen's pretty face. She picked up a towel and wiped Jia Heng's back while saying, "I don't really remember my birthday. I was sold around since I was a child."
When Jia Heng heard this, the smile on his face disappeared for a moment and he said, "Then you haven't had any children in the past few years?"
"Don't say you can't remember, even if you remember, no one has ever told me." Qingwen chuckled lightly, and a hint of sadness appeared on her pretty face.
She was sold as a maid to the Lai family since she was a child. Because she was attracted by the old lady when she went to her house to ask for her blessings, she learned the rules in the old lady's courtyard. If the Lai family was not raided by the young master, it would be considered half of her natal family.
Jia Heng turned around, looked at the girl with warm eyes, and said: "Actually, I'm not older than this, but since you can't remember, just use my sixth day of March. I'll give it to you in the future, so we can spend it together."
Already."
No matter in his previous life or in this life, he really didn't live much, and the ritual sense of exquisite life was very far away from him.
When Qingwen heard this, her delicate body trembled, her heart was filled with surprise, and she said excitedly: "Is what the young master said true?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Jia Heng smiled and said warmly.
When Qingwen heard this, she felt joy and sourness intertwined in her heart, and crystal tears shone in her bright eyes.
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "Why are you crying again?"
"Who is crying?" Qingwen Liuye raised her eyebrows and pouted, a smile appeared on her face, but tears could not stop flowing from her eyes.
Jia Heng reached out and wiped the tears on the girl's cheeks, and said softly: "Okay, my eyes are full of tears. They don't look like you anymore, but they look more like..."
When the words reached his lips, he swallowed "like Sister Lin from Xifu".
Qing is Dai Ying, Xi is Chai Fu.
Although Qingwen is the shadow of Daiyu, this hibiscus flower goddess is not sentimental and looks like Daiyu made of water.
Apart from Qingwen lying on the hospital bed at the end, and the tears she shed when Baoyu came to see her, when did she shed any more tears?
However, he had already shed tears several times in front of him, and he didn't know what to say.
"Young Master..." Qingwen wiped her tears and raised her eyes to look at the thoughtful young man opposite her. Her eyelashes were curved and trembling slightly, her cherry lips twitched, her eyes were soft and moist with mist.
The meaning is self-explanatory... We're going to kiss.
Jia Heng smiled softly, stretched out his hands to hold the little face with melon seeds, moved it closer, and pressed the two shiny lips together. The soft jelly melted little by little in his mouth, and between the palms and fingers, there was also an inch.
Overflowing with the youthful beauty of a girl. Gu Chun
For a long time, Jia Heng looked at Qingwen's flaming face and said softly: "Qingwen, please help me take a bath."
In his opinion, the way Qingwen, who has just grown up, is just a kind of attachment and admiration due to the lack of sense of security...
"Well, maybe it's because she has been homeless since she was a child and lacks the love of her parents. This seems to explain why Qingwen, one of the four maids in Baoyu's room, is the only one who doesn't like Baoyu. It's just Baoyu.
In Qingwen's eyes, such an immature child doesn't have much sense of security." Jia Heng's eyes were dark, and a flash of understanding flashed through his heart.
"If we diverge a little further, in the version of A Dream of Mansions, the actor who plays Qingwen is someone who is more than ten years older than me... This... well, it might be a bit forced and far-fetched."
On the other side of the room, Qingwen looked at the young man's face with a mixture of shyness and joy in her eyes. She responded softly, her heart filled with sweetness, and stretched out her slender hands to rub Jia Heng's back.
After Jia Heng took a bath, he also left the inner wing and headed towards the wing where Ke Qing lived.
…
…
Let's go back in time a little. When Jia Heng was checking the account books and having dinner in Rongguo Mansion, twilight gradually enveloped Anyifang in the east city, but the lanterns were already lit in the house where Li Jinzhu lived.
In the inner hall, the lights were brightly lit, and the shadows of candles swayed with the voices of people.
The core members of the Sanhe Gang sat in a dark room, and noises could be heard from time to time.
It was obvious that several leaders of Lei Hall were arguing about something.
"Master, the five Wei brothers have been fighting for the gang. They were ambushed. It was fine if the gang didn't rescue them. Instead, they sent people to kill people and silence them. I, Old Wu, can't figure it out!" I heard a middle-aged man with a short stature and a scar face.
The man in the robe, with his hands in his sleeves, said angrily.
This person obviously has an old relationship with Wei Wu, so they are fighting each other at this moment.
A man in a yellow robe with a thin face said in a deep voice: "Wei Wu and his gang have no loyalty and betrayed our Sanhe Gang. If we don't shut his mouth, what will happen to the hundreds of brothers in the gang?"
The scarred-faced man in gray robe sneered: "I, Old Wu, will never believe that Brother Wei Wu will betray the gang! But you, Qian Lao San, if you fall into the hands of the army, you will probably not be punished. If you confess, you don't know."
At that time, did the gang also silence you?!"
The man in yellow robe was stunned for a moment. He was furious. He scratched his neck and snorted coldly: "At that time, I will never die better than live. I will either hit my head against the wall and die, or I will bite my tongue and commit suicide. I will never work in the gang."
Take the trouble!”
The gray-robed man surnamed Wu sneered and said, "Who can't say nice things now! I, Old Wu, look at you..."
"enough!"
At this moment, before the gray-robed man named Wu could finish speaking, a loud shout came from a row of Grand Master's chairs in the main hall. The sound was like thunder, making people's eardrums hurt.
Li Jinzhu was sitting on an imperial chair with a gloomy face. Next to him sat the second master Pan Jian, the third master Huang Zhuo, the fourth master Han Ziping and the fifth master Li Jiuniang.
But this angry shout was not made by Li Jinzhu, but by Pan Jian, the second-in-command who was sitting next to him.
Pan Jian's eyes flashed coldly, and he sneered: "Are you two going to show off your knives and say hello to your brothers to relieve your anger? The officers and soldiers haven't arrived yet, and the two of you are killing each other?"
Huang Zhuo, the third master of the Lei Hall, frowned when he heard this, looked at the two arguing helmsmen of the Lei Hall, shouted coldly, and said: "Sixth and Seventh, don't back down yet!"
The two looked gloomy, snorted coldly, retreated to their seats, and sat down angrily.
Pan Jian sneered: "Qian Liu, Wu Qi, you two are also old men in the gang! I might as well tell you that I gave the order to kill Wei Wu and several of his brothers. Wei Wu and those few
I will take care of my brother's children as my own mother, daughter-in-law... and son! Why, who else is unconvinced? I'll just sit here and just say hello to me!"
As for my daughter-in-law, it’s hard to say my biological daughter-in-law.
The deputy hall masters and helmsmen below were silent after hearing this, obviously in awe of the second master of the Sanhe Gang and the think tank of the first master.
"Brothers, the imperial court is now keeping an eye on the gang. The gang is at a critical moment of life and death. Up and down, men, women, old and young, thousands of people, let alone Wei Wu. Even if I fall into the hands of the government and the army, you should also
Silence, silence!" Pan Jian's face flashed with a stern look, and he said loudly: "Everything is for the Sanhe Gang!"
Huang Zhuo, the third boss, heard this and said angrily: "Second brother is right! Old Qian, Old Wu, the top priority now is to get through the difficulties together, not to quarrel! Everyone should use their tactics more brightly. Who dares to ignore the overall situation? I, Old Huang, are the first
No one can spare him!"
There are four wind, rain, thunder and lightning halls of the Sanhe Gang. The Feng Hall is personally managed by Li Jinzhu, and his subordinates are all core members such as watermen and sailors. There are four helmsmen and several deputy hall leaders under his command.
The Yutang, under the control of the second master Pan Jian, is composed of spies and spies who usually gather information and bribe officials. There are two helmsmen under him.
The electric hall is managed by Han Ziping, who is responsible for the shop business under the Sanhe Gang. He has the same four rudders, who are more rudders than merchants.
As for Lei Tang, since he is a thug in the war hall, he is the most powerful in numbers.
There are a total of two deputy hall leaders and eight helmsmen, all of whom are responsible for combat power within the Sanhe Gang.
Just because they fight with swords and guns to compete for territory, many of them are brothers who live and die together.
For example, the helmsman surnamed Wu had a fatal friendship with Wei Wu and others.
Previously, Wei Wu led his troops to kill Liu You, but was ambushed by the army at the Yamen of Wucheng.
From Wu Qi's point of view, it's just that the top men in the gang tried every means to rescue him. Yan Shao, the deputy leader of Lei Hall, sent people to kidnap and kill the brothers of Lei Hall yesterday, doing something that hurt his relatives and made his enemies happy.
Unbearably angry.
Although the success fell short in the end, this move still chilled the hearts of some core members of the Sanhe Gang such as Wu Qi.
Li Jinzhu coughed, sighed, and said: "Brother Wu Qi, now it's time for the survival of our Sanhe Gang. Brother Wei Wu is a good man. I, Lao Li, also admire him. Who knows if he will be his subordinate?"
Are you going to confess to us? Not to mention involving that noble man, if one of them is not done well, it will be a disaster! Now we, the Sanhe Gang, have to unite to the outside world and think about how to get over this hurdle!"
This remark was not only to appease Wu Qi, but also to appease the several helmsmen, deputy helmsmen and other backbone members of Lei Hall who were crowded in the hall.
Everyone in the hall heard this, and some people's faces became somewhat better.
"Let the second leader tell you what's going on now." Li Jinzhu looked solemnly and looked at Pan Jian aside and said.
Pan Jian nodded, stood up, and said: "Brothers, according to the news I learned, it is now the Wucheng Military and Horse Department and Jingzhao Yamen, and the three parties of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are making trouble for us! The Metropolitan Procuratorate does not need to
Having said that, if you don’t deal with us directly, the Tang Guan of Jingzhao Yamen is a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and needs to be dealt with. The most important thing now is the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division! The current Tang Guan
, brothers also know."
"The one about the Three Kingdoms!" At this time, a deputy helmsman below said coldly.
Huang Zhuo had a sinister look on his face and said in a deep voice: "Yes, this person has ambushed many of our brothers in succession. This person is difficult to deal with."
Qian Liudao: "The third leader of the family, why not send a few brothers to ambush and kill this man!"
Pan Jian snorted coldly: "Idiot, not to mention that he is in hot demand right now, and even that noble man was killed because of him. If we dare to touch him at this time, it is tantamount to rebellion! Let's just say that he killed one person with the knife before.
, Cousin Lei just made a big mistake, why do you want to touch him?"
Qian Liu's face was sullen, and he couldn't stand it for a moment. He said firmly: "The second master is always full of clever ideas. Is there any way?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Sanhe Gang in the hall looked at Pan Jian.
Even Li Jinzhu looked at Pan Jian, who had always been resourceful, and said, "Second brother, if you have any good ideas, please tell me quickly so that everyone can listen."
Pan Jian's eyes flashed coldly and he said: "I sent someone to Ningrong Street before. This young dignitary has just been knighted. The day after tomorrow is the day of the banquet. At that time, Ningrong's second mansion will open its doors for a banquet. Let's go and visit.
