Jia Heng was silent for a moment, picked up the tea cup, and couldn't figure out the reason for the moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Sometimes the information is incomplete and random speculations are made that are totally different from the truth.
Jia Mu smiled and said: "Brother Heng, I live in the inner house and sometimes I only hear a little bit about what is going on outside. I may not be as clear as you guys from the younger generation outside. When you have time, you can
Sitting with Baoyu, my father, and Feng Yatou and her father-in-law, Feng Yatou and her father-in-law... Although some things are not done openly, but after all, I can't write two characters in one sentence. In the eyes of outsiders,
The two houses of Rongning and Ning are connected by the same spirit, both prosper and suffer, so the family should live in harmony."
She could also clearly see some of the awkwardness. On the one hand, he was a member of the clan, and on the other hand, he was her son. The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh. It would not be a good thing if he treated them as enemies.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "What the old lady said is true. The two houses are indeed connected by the same spirit."
Since they are connected by the same spirit, Jia She will look for opportunities to eradicate them in the future.
Jia's mother thought Jia Heng had heard it, and the smile on her old face couldn't help but become more prosperous, and said: "Let me just say, Brother Heng has always been a general person, and he will do great things in the future. Brother Heng, don't worry,
As long as I am here, I will never allow others to plot against you."
Tanchun's pink lips twitched, and her pair of charming, clear eyes blinked, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know if a junior like her should say it in this situation.
Jia Heng glanced at Tanchun and said with a smile, "Third sister seems to have something to say?"
Tan Chun's pale cheeks instantly turned red with embarrassment, and he said: "Brother Heng, this is my humble opinion. If a rich family like ours comes from outside, they will not be killed for a while. This should be what the ancients said.
"A centipede is dead but not stiff." It must first commit suicide at home before it can be completely defeated."
After saying this, Mother Jia's expression changed, and she said, "Yes, Miss San is right in what she said."
Secretly, it’s no wonder that Tanchun is a man of extraordinary knowledge as Brother Heng just said.
Jia Heng smiled, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip.
When Tanchun saw Jia Heng smiling and saying nothing, he felt a little shy and a little frustrated, and said, "Brother Heng, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Facing the girl's bright eyes, Jia Heng smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with this. At the age of the third sister, it is extraordinary to have such knowledge. But if you face the problem head-on, the blade of the knife will be inward."
, scraping bones to cure poison, this is two different things from killing each other. As Confucianism says, whether it is to regulate the family or to govern the country, it is all the same. You cannot turn a blind eye to the problem and turn a deaf ear to the problem just for the sake of harmony. That will only lead to a terminal illness, and it will be difficult to cure the disease.
Rescue, in normal times, we should take precautions before they happen. For those who don’t know how to behave, they still have to sweat, blush, take a bath, and treat their illnesses."
Some people are not aligned as they walk. At this time, they have to shout to align themselves.
When Jia Mu heard the words, she felt as if she was talking about herself, but she felt like her face was red and she was sweating.
Tanchun also lowered his eyes and thought about Jia Heng's words, and said, "Brother Heng is right."
Jia Heng said softly: "You are still young. You can watch and learn slowly in the future."
In two years' time, when Tanchun is older, he can actually help with the housework in Xifu.
Tan Chun nodded slightly, feeling a sweetness and joy that he could not describe in his heart. He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Brother Heng."
Jia Mu smiled and said: "Brother Heng, your sister has been a quickie since she was a child. You should give her more guidance."
But a thought flashed through my mind, no matter how good the girl is, she will get married in the future.
Jia Heng said: "Third sister is extremely smart. I said before that with more experience, she would be enough to serve as a female student for me."
Jia Mu: "..."
But I didn't expect that Jia Heng thought so highly of Tan Chun.
Tan Chun's eyebrows were curved, his bright eyes flashed, and he said, "Brother Heng is overly praised."
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "It's okay to walk around my house more and talk to your sister-in-law when you have time. Your sister-in-law is bored at home every day, and there's no one to talk to to relieve her boredom."
When Tanchun heard this, he felt happy, nodded, and said yes.
Because of their brother-sister relationship, the fact that Jia Heng has married a beautiful daughter-in-law like Qin Keqing, and his cool and upright temperament in the past, Jia Mu and Yuanyang will not have any bad associations.
Brothers and sisters of the same race, how dirty must their hearts be to think of that level?
For example, Sister Feng is very close to Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, and now Jia Heng, but no one thinks that Sister Feng will be unruly. Even someone like Jia Lian who is used to sneaking around and suspecting someone behind the scenes should say "I
My wife is pure and pure!"
If it's Daiyu, it would be a different matter, and one might think that Jia Heng has fallen in love with such a sick little girl.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "But if you are feeling bored, you can come to my house. The place here is lively and every day is like a big opera singer."
Jia Heng said with a smile: "It's been okay these past two days. Sister-in-law You and her two younger sisters play dominoes with them every day and talk to relieve their boredom."
Jia Mu: "..."
I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it carefully.
Jia Heng said: "The scenery over at Huifang Garden is also pretty good. The old lady and a few sisters can go there if they have free time."
Of course, these words are only half-truths and are just polite words from Jia Heng.
Jia Mu nodded and said, "Okay, okay."
The two talked for a while. When Jia Heng saw that the sky was almost the same, he said warmly: "Old lady, why don't we just stay here? I will go back and continue to study historical materials."
Jia Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Go ahead, just don't stay up too late, mandarin duck..."
Tan Chun smiled and said: "Old ancestor, I'm going to see Brother Heng off. I have a few things I want to ask Brother Heng for advice."
Jia Mu thought for a while and said with a smile: "You girl, all right, go ahead."
"Third sister, just send me to the Moon Gate later." Jia Heng said softly.
"Yeah." Tanchun said softly.
Then, the two of them left the Nuan Pavilion without saying much. Jia Heng nodded with gentle eyes to Daiyu, Yingchun, Xichun and others who were still talking in the hall, and then left the Rongqing Hall holding a lantern.
On the corridor, the two of them were walking side by side. The lanterns on the eaves of the corridor swayed in the wind, and there were circles of orange light. The girl in the light red dress looked petite and bright.
Go through the hanging flower door and enter the corner of the cloister.
"Brother Heng, that bottle of medicinal wine was applied to Sister Lin." Tan Chun said in a clear voice.
Jia Heng asked: "Is she okay? I didn't expect her body to be so weak. I was careless. Just stay with her and let her take care of herself."
Tan Chun said softly: "Brother Heng really cares about Sister Lin."
Jia Heng said: "She came to visit my relatives and stayed in my Jia Mansion. As the head of Ning State, it is my duty to take care of her."
Tan Chunming's eyes sparkled, she pursed her pink lips, and said softly: "Brother Heng, Brother Huan, I haven't thanked you last time. Brother Heng will have to worry more about it in the future."
"Third sister, what I said is unreasonable. Brother Huan is also a male of my Jia clan. He is getting older, but he is not as useful as he is. I feel very sorry for him. If I can help him make some progress, it will be a good thing for the clan."
Jia Heng spoke in a clear voice, "I feel the same way about Baoyu."
Tanchun's only worth mentioning may be that he is close to Baoyu but not Jia Huan. The other thing is that he "dislikes" his biological mother, Aunt Zhao, but this itself is also related to the fact that Aunt Zhao, mother and son, hate dogs.
And the feeling of being disgusted is not without a painful feeling.
Aunt Zhao is really not decent. When visiting the housekeeper, she scolded and fought with the girl regardless of her dignity.
Therefore, he is not a party to this complicated mother-daughter relationship, and he cannot make any unreasonable accusations without her suffering.
Tanchun was silent for a moment and said softly: "Brother Heng has always been upright and treats both Brother Bao and Brother Huan equally."
With Tan Chun's exquisite thoughts, he could naturally hear some of Jia Heng's hidden meanings.
Seeing the girl's sad expression, Jia Heng was also silent for a moment, stopped to look at Tan Chun, and said warmly: "I know the pain in the third sister's heart, and it's okay to be close to Baoyu. Baoyu is better than Brother Huan."
Come on..."
As he spoke, he chuckled lightly and paused.
He can't say that these two brothers are the same as each other. It's not his habit to talk about people behind their backs. He always yells at them face to face!
When Tanchun heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly. For some reason, she felt a little aggrieved. Her nose was sore, tears filled her eyelashes, and she was about to cry: "Brother Heng also feels that I wish it came out of my wife's belly?"
When Jia Heng heard this, he was silent for a moment.
However, Tan Chun's heart sank to the bottom of the valley due to the silence of the young man opposite him. He felt his hands and feet were cold, and he felt like he was drowned by the tide and could not breathe. His jade face gradually turned pale, and a pair of heroic and bright big eyes were revealed.
Looking at Jia Heng with tearful eyes, after a while, he said softly:
"Brother Heng, if I ever think about this, just call me..."
Jia Heng took a few steps closer, grabbed Tan Chun's arm, frowned and said, "What are you going to do with a good oath?"
"Brother Heng, I..." Being pulled closer by Jia Heng, Tan Chun felt his heart tremble when he heard each other's breath. He raised a pair of eyes as moist as water and looked at the young man intently.
"I know everything. I was silent just now. I just think you attach too much importance to this matter. It's really unnecessary. If I looked at you like that, I wouldn't say that I have suffered for you all these years." Jia Heng looked at him gently.
Tanchun smiled and said softly: "Other people don't know, but I know that although you grew up with the second wife, you still have brother Huan and his mother hidden in your heart. Otherwise, you really have to be honest with me without any worries."
It's just that I didn't see it. It's just because I'm thinking about it that I feel uncomfortable and aggrieved. After all, they... are not easy to worry about. You mourn their misfortune and anger them without fighting. That's probably what they are thinking."
When Tan Chun heard this, his eyes widened and his pink lips trembled slightly. For a moment, he had mixed feelings and tears burst out of his eyes. He buried his head in Jia Heng's arms and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng..."
Seeing this, Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and had no choice but to put his arms around Tan Chun's shoulders, pat his back gently to comfort him, and said slowly: "Do you remember what I just said? If you were a man, you might be able to establish a career.
, then you will have your own reasons. Of course, even though you are a daughter now, it doesn't matter. If you are self-reliant, who in the family would dare to look down on you? I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances over the years.
So that day, when I saw my aunt saying that, I couldn't bear to listen."
When I thought about it, I suddenly remembered that one of his handkerchiefs seemed to be still in Tanchun's hand.
When Tanchun heard this, she also recalled the scene in front of her of the young man handing her a handkerchief that day, and her heart was even more moved, "Oh...
As he spoke, he wrapped his hands around Jia Heng's waist, buried his head in Jia Heng's arms, and cried.
I just feel that between heaven and earth, there seems to be that warm, red-hot chest, which is a safe harbor.
"Okay, okay, she's a big girl now, she still cries like a child." Jia Heng gently stroked Tanchun's hair, and a faint fragrance floated between his nostrils, and there was nothing wrong with him.
After a while, Jia Heng comforted and said, "Okay, stop crying, your clothes are almost wet."
Tanchun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he stopped sobbing. He raised his face with pear blossoms and raindrops, and looked at the wet mark on his front. He felt shy and anxious. His pretty face was as red as rouge, and he murmured: "Heng
elder brother……"
Jia Heng said: "It's okay, you can wipe your tears too."
Tanchun said "hmm", let go of Jia Heng, took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears.
Her heart was pounding non-stop, she just felt so passionate...
But it’s okay, this is Brother Heng.
Jia Heng took the lantern from Tan Chun and said loudly: "Let's talk about Brother Huan. When the school is completed, we will send him there to study and practice martial arts. With the company of good teachers and friends, his temperament will gradually change.
In fact, whether it is him or Baoyu, who is stronger than a woman's hands, one behaves in a timid manner, and the other has no responsibility, after all, it is not a long-term solution."
Worried that the little girl would feel ashamed because of what had happened just now, Jia Heng had no choice but to keep his face calm and his voice a bit stern when he said this.
In fact, the effect was surprisingly good. Although Tanchun felt a little shy, his face remained as usual and he softly said "hmm".
Jia Heng said softly: "Don't think too much. No matter it's your own thoughts or the opinions of others, don't be too entangled. You just listened to me in the old lady's room. There is such a difference between concubines and concubines."
Is it important? If you are not good enough, let alone which belly you were born in, even if you jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, you will not be able to move forward in this world!"
It’s hard to explain some things clearly, but I think with Tanchun’s intelligence, I should be able to understand the meaning.
She was worried about what others would think of her, which showed that the distinction between concubines and concubines still lingered in Tanchun's mind. Although she was not like Jia Huan, who wished she had been born from Mrs. Wang's belly, she did not necessarily feel inferior because of her background.
This is not a conflict. Human psychological activities are inherently complex.
Tan Chun nodded and said softly: "Brother Heng, I've written it down."
Brother Heng, like her, is also a side branch.
As he spoke, Jia Heng arrived at the Moon Gate, paused, looked at Tan Chun, and said warmly: "Okay, let's go back."
Tanchun nodded and watched the young man leave with the lantern. Only when no figure in the lantern could be seen, he looked back and let out a faint sigh as the cool breeze blew.
