There was silence in the inner hall for a moment.
A strange look appeared on the mandarin duck's oval face. He blinked and said softly: "Uncle Heng, what the old lady means is that Mr. Bao has also been tired for two days. Let's see if..."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "It is right to let Baoyu get more sleep and pay attention to the balance between work and rest... If you have inner passion, you should take your time."
Yuanyang's heart trembled as she listened to the young man's words. She pursed her lips and said softly: "That's what the uncle said."
It’s the kind of appeal that I feel when I climb to the top, look down from the clouds, see the rocks through the sky, the waves crashing on the shore, and just take a leisurely stroll.
Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes flashed and she said nothing more.
She originally thought her husband was targeting Baoyu...
After the couple had finished eating, they each took a shower and changed clothes.
But in Jia Mu's courtyard, Jia Mu was sitting on the Luohan bed, with Amber, Jade and other maids rubbing her shoulders, accompanying Li Wan, and Sister Feng talking.
Hearing Yuanyang return, he smiled and asked, "What did Brother Heng say?"
Yuanyang smiled and said: "Uncle Heng said it, and Second Master Bao has almost finished writing it."
Before Yuanyang could finish speaking, Jia Mu smiled and pulled Baoyu aside, "Thank God, Amitabha, my Baoyu is getting better and better."
After receiving the "affirmation" from the first person in the Jia clan, Jia's mother was very happy.
And Baoyu's face, which looked like the bright moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, also had a shy and honest smile.
Daiyu and Tanchun were also happy for Baoyu.
Mrs. Wang, who was sitting next to her, was also smiling. Even if she couldn't stand the arrogant Mr. Heng from Dongfu and thought he was using her son as a raft, she still felt a little happy after hearing these words.
.
Her family, Baoyu, is young and loves to play a little bit. If she really wants to use her heart, the people in Dongfu will have to say something convincing.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Baoyu has been doing this homework for the past two days, and has lost sleep and food. He has lost a lot of weight. I think this time it will be the same."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Baoyu, but they saw that the face of the Mid-Autumn Festival moon was really... not thin at all.
There was concern in Daiyu's eyes as she said, "Brother Bao, the dark circles under your eyes are quite heavy. It's probably because you didn't sleep well last night."
Baoyu said softly: "Sister Lin, I wrote about Zi Chou's acquaintance last night."
Facing everyone's gazes, especially Mrs. Wang's slightly cold and stern eyes, Xiren forced a smile and said: "Old lady, madam, I persuaded the second master yesterday. The second master said today's matter. After today, don't delay it.
Tomorrow."
Everyone in Rongqing Hall was stunned when they heard this.
Jia Mu smiled heartily and said, "It's really good."
Mrs. Wang also smiled.
But after a while, Jia Mu pretended to be angry and said: "We can't endure it like this in the future. At such a young age, our eyes will be damaged again. Let's go and relax later."
Then I heard Yuanyang say: "Uncle Heng, I just said that Second Master Bao has been tired for two days, so he doesn't need to go to Qingxu Temple for a ritual ceremony. He can catch up on his sleep at home."
The smile on Jia Mu's face immediately froze, and she turned to look at Baoyu aside, only to see a big face slumped.
Mrs. Wang raised her eyes and glanced at Baoyu and said, "Then don't go, Xi Ren, let Baoyu sleep at home for a while."
From her own heart, she didn't want Baoyu to go out for fun. She might as well sleep at home and read a book.
Xiren nodded and responded, sighing quietly in his heart.
Sister Feng smiled and said, "It's getting late. My ancestors and my wife are also packing up. I'll go to Dongfu first to have a look."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Just go."
Turning back to Ning Mansion, Jia Heng finished taking a bath and put on a Sichuan brocade bamboo pattern robe. He opened his hands and tied Qingwen's belt with her. He smelled the fragrance of powder coming from Qingwen's body between his nostrils and said softly: "
Qingwen, how many words have you recognized recently?"
Qingwen's pretty cheeks were rosy, and she had clearly applied rouge and gouache on purpose. Her two shiny red lips were lightly opened, and she said softly: "There are three or four hundred of them, but I can write very little, and I can't write well."
Very beautiful.”
Jia Heng said: "Then I will ask someone to buy some copybooks, and you can practice in front of me."
"There is no one to teach me. I don't know how to practice with the copybook." Qingwen pursed her bright red lips, twisted her waist, turned around and walked to the wooden table, took out a sachet and jade pendant, and hung them on Jia Heng's waist.
He said softly: "It's not easy to meet the young master once, so I don't want to take up too much of the young master's time."
Jia Heng pinched Qingwen's pouted red lips and said softly: "After you have been busy for this period of time, you can have some free time."
He is now leading the emperor's mission. Not to mention the urgency of urging people to do things, even if he wants to get results in a hurry, there is no way to rest. When he is busy, living in the yamen is the right thing to do, but when he is free,
He can also take some time off from his busy schedule. Of course, this was also the words of comfort Emperor Chongping gave him when he met the saint yesterday.
After the master and servant finished dressing up and decorating, Jia Heng said: "In a while, you will also go change your clothes and go with us. Just think of it as relaxing."
Qingwen nodded slightly, looked at Jia Heng, her eyes were bright, and said softly: "Master..."
Jia Heng chuckled lightly, raised his slightly foxy face, pressed it on his red lips, and captured the sweetness. After a moment, he touched Qingwen's hot cheek with one hand and said warmly: "Go.
"
"Um."
Qingwen responded in a voice as quiet as a mosquito, turned around and left.
Jia Heng watched Qingwen go away, then left the side room and headed towards the inner hall.
In the inner hall, Qin Keqing was talking to You, the second sister, the third sister, and Sister Feng who came from the West Mansion.
Qin Keqing has changed into a beautiful dress with a light red background and a green bun, making her look more and more bright and charming, graceful and delicate. Perhaps because of the moisture, her plump and gorgeous charm has flowed out between her eyebrows.
Between frown and smile, the bright light is moving.
On the contrary, it attracted the glances of Second Sister You and Third Sister You.
Seeing Jia Heng come in, Qin Keqing smiled and said, "Husband, Sister-in-law Feng is here to urge you."
Sister Feng smiled and stood up from her seat, and said coquettishly: "Brother Heng, I'm not urging you, I'm just here to discuss. What time did the old lady say we should set off? It looks like it's already getting late."
For large families, convenience must be considered when traveling.
"We can set off now." Jia Heng met the eyes of several people and said softly.
Sister Feng smiled and said to Zhou Rui's family: "Just go to the old lady and report the news."
At the right time, the servants and deacons of Ningrong and Ningrong Houses all went out and lined up in Ningrong Street to wait for them.
Jia Mu rode in an eight-person sedan, Qin Keqing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, and Sister Feng rode in a four-person sedan, while Tanchun, Daiyu, and Xiangyun rode together in an eight-treasure carriage with a green cover and beaded jewelry.
The three girls were exactly the age of junior high school girls in later generations, and were petite. Therefore, the carriage with Chai Dai and a spacious interior in the original novel did not seem crowded even if it took more than one person to ride in Xiangyun.
Yingchun and Xichun rode together in a carriage with a red wheel canopy, and Youshi, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You rode together in a carriage.
There are also the maids Yuanyang, parrot, amber, and jade in Jia Mu's room; Qin Keqing's maid Baozhu, Ruizhu, and Jia Heng's eldest maid Qingwen; Mrs. Wang's maid Jinchai, Caiyun; Li Wan's maid Suyun, Bi
The moon; the dai jade maid Zijuan and snow geese; the maid greeting the spring playing chess and embroidering tangerines; the maid exploring the spring serving books, green ink, the maid cherishing the spring painting, color screen and other little maids either waiting on the side or riding in a carriage
Follow without further explanation.
Dozens of women were guarding each other in front and behind, and in the outermost room were older servants and young servants. There were hundreds of them. Jia Heng also rode a maroon horse, in Ning Mansion.
Under the protection of a group of boys and dozens of soldiers from the Beijing camp, they headed towards Qingxu Temple.
It is worth mentioning that although the troops of the Five Cities did not send them all the way under Jia Heng's order, they sent additional officers to guard the streets along the way.
As for the trip to the Jia Mansion to hold rituals and pray for blessings, it can be considered that the tense atmosphere of the day before yesterday, when the cavalry came out of the capital, blocked the east city, and wanted to hunt down the Sanhe gang members.
At nearly noon, a group of people from Jia's family came to Qingxu Temple. There were already the men from the side branch of Jia's family, Jia Qiong, Jia Chen, Jia Juan, Jia Lin, who were born in the Yu family, and Jia Heng, Jia Yun and Jia Ping, who were born in the Cao family.
, Jia Qin, took the first step with the men to isolate the inside and outside of Qingxu Temple to prevent outsiders from entering.
Along the way, there were shady pines and cypresses, brilliant autumn scenery, and a group of female relatives and maids lifted up the curtains in sedans and carriages to look out.
It was September, which was the third autumn. The remaining red was not yet gone, and the birds were chirping. Suddenly, there was a sense of tranquility and emptiness, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
In the carriage, Daiyu was wearing a navy satin round-neck robe embroidered with bamboo leaves and plum blossoms, and a white embroidered horse-faced skirt. She had a slicked-back comb, and her eyebrows under the airy bangs looked like clouds and rain. She was holding a round fan in her hand, facing
Tanchun on the side said quietly: "Third sister, I didn't expect that this autumn scenery also has a lot of places to enjoy."
Tan Chun chuckled and said: "In spring and summer, hundreds of flowers bloom, and the colorful purples and reds are really joyful, but the autumn scenery is rustling, and there are also sunsets dyeing the maple forest. You can take a look. This time I came out to take advantage of brother Heng's light to relax. Sister Lin can
Stop sighing with sorrow for spring and sorrow for autumn."
As he spoke, Yingxiu looked at the back of the horse riding away in front of him.
Shi Xiangyun also smiled and said: "Sister Lin, what Brother Heng said yesterday is so good. The sun and the moon are advancing, the times are prosperous and the years are new. Don't think about the past, live up to the present, and not be afraid of the future...Sister Lin, what are you always thinking about?
, This autumn scene is so beautiful, it would be better to be happy, but it is a pity that my brother Ai (2) is not here."
Tan Chun smiled and said softly: "I remember Yun'er's words to Brother Heng quite clearly."
Don't dwell on the past, live up to the present, and don't fear the future...
Daiyu's beautiful face paused slightly, her starry eyes were absent-minded, and she was clearly recalling what Jia Heng casually said in Tianxiang Tower last night. After returning home last night, she tasted it again and again, and found it to be meaningful, generous and heroic.
But after all, the two people were talking about the sadness of spring and autumn. Daiyu's starry eyes flashed under her smoky eyebrows, she turned her head over, snorted, covered her mouth and said with a sweet smile: "The third sister is now talking about brother Heng.
Although it’s not as affectionate as Sister Yun’s brother Ai (second), it’s still more affectionate (love) than brother Qing (love).”
Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun: "..."
Lin TaoTao is online. It's natural that he doesn't do it, but he does it to two people.
When Tan Chunwen heard the words of "Brother Love", her pretty face turned red with embarrassment, right down to her petite and exquisite earlobes. However, on the contrary, she was charming and graceful, adding a bit of elegance to the majestic girl.
The fiery red cloak, which was even more fiery than the maple leaves in the mountains and forests, grabbed Daiyu's lotus root arm and said angrily: "Sister Lin, I will never let you go."
Saying that, he went to "knock" Daiyu. Daiyu dodged across the Xiangyun, holding a handkerchief and smiling sweetly, "My good sister, please spare me this time..."
Although the carriage was very spacious, the two girls were playing around, and soon their cheeks were red and they were dripping with sweat.
Xiangyun pouted slightly, her baby-fat round apple face became more and more pink, she snorted softly and said: "Sister Lin is not good at picking on people. She is used to making fun of this and that, let me tell you.
Personally, if you dare to make fun of me, I will obey you."
Daiyu's starry eyes flashed, a hint of curiosity appeared on her bright face, and she asked: "Who?"
"That's Brother Heng. If you dare to tease him in person, I will obey you." Xiang Yun tilted his head and Li Duo said with a slight smile.
Daiyu's smile narrowed slightly, Chunshan's starry eyes lowered under her dark eyebrows, and she said softly: "How dare I tease him?"
In Rongqing Hall, the young man was so angry that everyone in the house was speechless. No matter it was the eldest master, the eldest wife, or Brother Bao, they were all afraid of the young man.
Although the young man was only a few years older than her, he was very majestic and could do things even those adults could not achieve.
Moreover, if she teased him, what would he say if he also asked her to write her review?
Um……
But, for some reason, when Yun'er said it, she was a little eager to try...
Xiangyun pinched the handkerchief and saw Daiyu frowning in silence. He smiled and said: "It turns out that Sister Lin is also afraid of people. I only hope that in the future I will find a brother-in-law who is as powerful as Brother Heng to rule over me."
Juzhi Lin sister..."
The little girl has no scruples about speaking in private. In other words, this is what Xiangyun said in the original work, asking Daiyu to find a tongue-tied brother-in-law Lin.
"Yun'er, you...what are you talking about?" Upon hearing this, Daiyu felt ashamed and angry. Her beautiful face was as red as rouge, and her heart trembled slightly, but she soon regained her composure.
They were married...
But he still couldn't help being embarrassed, and angrily wanted to "suppress" Xiangyun with force, but Tan Chun on the side grabbed his arm and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, we sisters are playing together, chatting, it's just...
Just joking around, you must not be angry with Sister Yun."
Daiyu's pink cheeks were slightly red, she snorted, and her slender hands were playing with a lock of hair hanging down from her temples. Just now, after all, she was the one who started it, and if she doesn't give up, she will appear to be a petty person.
While the few people were talking, the carriage stopped and arrived. They all came to the carriage window and looked into the distance.
At this moment, Jia Heng got off his horse. Taoist Zhang in Qingxu Temple was holding incense and wearing robes, leading all the Taoist priests to wait for him at the mountain gate. Standing beside him were some men from Jia's family.
"I've seen Uncle Heng on the trail." The Taoist priest Zhang, wearing a gray-green robe and a gray beard, came up with a fly whisk in his hand, bowed his head and said with a smile.
Jia Heng nodded, with calm eyes, and asked: "Your Excellency must be Master Zhang. I'll help Master Zhang later."
Zhang Taoist smiled and looked at the young man opposite him. Thinking of the rumors in Beijing today, he did not dare to underestimate him. He said with a smile: "Uncle Heng, he is Xiaodao."
At this time, Sister Feng's sedan arrived first. With the help of Ping'er, she came close enough and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for several years, but you are still so tough. You are almost an old god. Let's take care of you first."
The disciples and grandchildren all dispersed to the side room, and the old lady and several girls went in."
At this time, a group of women from the Jia family also gathered around the carriage, standing on several levels inside and outside the sedan.
Taoist Zhang smiled and said, "That's what Second Grandma Lian said."
After saying that, he ordered his subordinates to retreat into the distance.
Mother Jia's sedan chair also alighted. With the support of a group of maids and women, she came forward and paid homage to the local gods such as the City God and the Earth God. Then she glanced at Jia Heng and said with a smile, "Let's go inside first."
After that, all the female relatives of the Jia family also got off the carriage and entered the Qingxu Temple.
Daiyu, Tanchun, and Xiangyun, served by the maid and mother-in-law, climbed up the steps, entered the temple, and enjoyed the scenery. Xiangyun had a lively temperament, looked around, pointed at the moss-covered bronze tripod, and said with a smile: "
Sister Lin, Third Sister, look there are words on it."
Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, and Tanchun's eyebrows also showed a slight smile.
The ancient Taoist palace, with red eaves and green roofs, and bamboo groves rustling in the wind, has its own unique charm. When they entered the palace, there was a little Taoist priest cutting candle flowers. He couldn't dodge and was about to run out.
But she was stopped head-on by Sister Feng, who slapped her in the face and cursed: "Xiaoye bastard, where are you running!"
