Chapter 272 Stop in time, before the chaos (seeking the moon)
Ningguo Mansion
Not only does Jia Heng miss Qin Keqing, but Qin Keqing does too. This is the longest time they have been apart since they got married.
Qin Keqing's eyes were full of mist, and she called out softly, "Husband," and then a fragrant wind came forward and threw herself into Jia Heng's arms.
At this moment, Youshi's heart skipped a beat when she saw this scene, her cheeks felt slightly warm, and there was a hint of envy in her beautiful eyes.
Second Sister You turned her head, as if a little embarrassed by this scene, and pulled Third Sister You's arm. However, Third Sister You saw a smile on her face, looking at the couple who were reunited.
Ping'er also looked at the couple, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but sigh, "The relationship between Uncle Heng and Grandma Heng is really good. They are like glue, and the honey is mixed with oil. It's not like the second master."
And grandma..."
Jia Heng hugged Qin Keqing's shoulders, feeling the overflowing thoughts of his wife and smelling the fragrance in his hair. It was as if time had stopped at this moment, and the warm midday sun fell on the young couple.
Young men are like orchids and jade trees, but young girls are like hibiscus and begonia.
However, the young man frowned slightly, a flash of thought flashing in his eyes.
It was clearly Jia Heng who was sniffing the fragrance of orchids and flowers in Keqing's hair. Suddenly he remembered something. The sweet fragrance of Princess Jinyang left on his body must have dissipated.
"But Qing, okay, there are others here." Jia Heng said softly.
I heard Third Sister You's eyebrows curved, her red lips gently opened, and she chuckled: "Uncle Heng, you can pretend that my two sisters and I don't exist."
Jia Heng raised his eyes and glanced at Third Sister You, but when he met a pair of beautiful eyes with a smile that reached into her eyes, her eyes were a bit softer.
However, Qin Keqing woke up, blushed pretty, stood up from Jia Heng's arms, stared at the scene with affection, and said in a soft and melodious voice, "Husband, please go inside and rest for a while before we talk."
After all, he is polite and generous in dealing with others. Although he is a little shy, he is not pretentious.
Jia Heng smiled and nodded, holding Qin Keqing's jade hand and entering the inner hall.
After sitting down, Qingwen served some fragrant tea and handed it over. The couple talked about things at home. Youshi, the second sister, and the third sister were also chatting beside them.
Jia Heng said: "I came back this time just to prepare for the New Year. Fortunately, there was no delay and all the imperial edicts were sent back."
Qin Keqing nodded and said softly: "It has been put away. My husband has been promoted to a first-class general this time?"
Jia Heng said: "Yeah."
Youshi smiled and said in an envious tone: "The first-class general is now a second-class general. I guess it won't be long before the palace will give you a royal title."
Mrs. You used to be Mrs. Gaoming.
Customized by Chen Han, only those with a fifth rank or above can be canonized as imperial edicts. However, this kind of canonization does not mean that they are canonized together with the husband's promotion. There is often a time difference in the middle for the emperor to use as a favor.
Qin Keqing said softly: "If you want to confer favors and canonization, you should first pursue your husband and test your concubine, build a high hall, and rebuild the tomb for sacrifice. What does your husband think?"
As he spoke, he looked at the young man beside him with a pair of charming and flowing eyes, and said softly: "If my parents-in-law, whom I have never met, had not made the engagement, there would be no husband who would agree with me on today's proposal."
If it weren't for the marriage contract, she wouldn't have married her husband. If the two elders are alive in heaven, please bless her to give birth to a son and a half as soon as possible...
Thinking of the orchid fragrance that she had just smelled in her husband's arms, the charming beauty couldn't help but feel a haze in her heart.
It shouldn't be Qingwen's, because Qingwen is her husband's personal maid, and she is no stranger to fragrance.
In fact, women not only study lipstick colors deeply, but also have a keen sense of smell for the nuances of fragrance.
Hearing this, Jia Heng took Qin Keqing's hand and nodded to the beauty, remaining silent for a moment.
My wife is really virtuous.
At this moment, Youshi, Second Sister You, Third Sister You, and Ping'er were also watching after being fed a mouthful of dog food.
At this time, Jia Heng looked at Ping'er and chuckled: "Ping'er"
Ping'er chuckled and said: "The old lady said that after the uncle comes back, she and Grandma Heng will go to the Xifu to have dinner. She also said that the uncle has been promoted to a noble title, so we should have a good time to celebrate."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'll go there later after taking a bath and changing clothes."
Then, he turned to look at Ke Qing.
Qin Keqing smiled and said softly: "Sister You and I have both used it."
Second Sister You raised her head, doubts flashed in her delicate and delicate eyebrows, she wanted to say, have I had lunch?
Turning his eyes, he saw Sister You looking over with a half-smile, pursed her lips, and a bright light flashed in her heart.
But at this moment, I saw my third sister coming closer to her, with hot air on her earlobes and cheeks. Second sister You's delicate body trembled, and she heard a voice in her ears: "Second sister, I don't want a daughter-in-law who is as beautiful as a flower."
I was looked at by someone from the West Mansion."
When Second Sister You heard this, her heart trembled, and she was a little confused, but she realized it after a moment and thought to herself, this... that Second Master Bao of Xifu is not a lustful ghost, right?
Over here, Qingwen entered the inner hall and whispered: "Sir, the hot water is ready."
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Qin Keqing with a smile, and said, "I'll go first."
Then, he got up from his seat and followed Qingwen to the backyard room.
In the side room, a wooden screen with splendid mountains and rivers separated the space. After turning a corner, the curtain fell, and there was a bathtub inside. The sunlight was sparsely shining through the window, so it didn't look dim.
Jia Heng took off his clothes under Qingwen's service. Needless to say, the master and servant continued the intimacy they had before parting.
After that, Jia Heng stepped on the wooden stool and got into the steaming tub. He leaned his head on the edge of the tub and closed his eyes slightly. The journey was dusty and he didn't notice it on the way, but when he got home, his tight strings loosened.
When I got down, I felt a little tired.
Listening to the rustling sound, he knew that Qingwen was also taking off her clothes, but she didn't think much about it and said softly: "Qingwen, help me squeeze my shoulders."
Qingwen said "Hmm" as loudly as a mosquito. When she saw Jia Heng closing her eyes and concentrating, she felt both distressed and discouraged. The young master was not interested in her body at all.
Qingwen's little feet, as white as lotus roots, stepped on the wooden stool. Her ten jade toes were as thin as bamboo shoots. Her straight and slender calves were slightly bent, and she entered the wooden barrel with a "clatter" sound.
I don’t know whether it was because of the hot water or because of embarrassment, but her melon-shaped face, which had already become charming and charming, turned red and said softly: "Master, please stop leaning on the barrel so that I can rub your back." ."
Jia Heng let out a soft "hmm" and leaned forward with his eyes closed, feeling the smoothness of skin touching each other.
Qingwen had come around behind him and started to squeeze his shoulders and rub his back.
However, after a moment, Jia Heng felt something strange behind him, opened his eyes slightly, frowned, and asked doubtfully: "You...who did you learn this from?"
After thinking about it, could it be that she learned it from Third Sister You? But Qingwen is not very naughty with Third Sister You.
"Master...are you feeling comfortable?" Qingwen's pretty voice was trembling a little, and her little face, which blended both charming and elegant temperaments, was overflowing with shame and joy.
"Yeah, it's okay." Although the technique is a bit immature, the area is not wide enough, and the touch is not soft enough, it still has a different flavor. Jia Heng cannot deny it against his will, lest it dampens the little girl's positive... self-esteem.
However, at this moment, Qingwen's voice sounded like an oriole coming out of the valley, and she said happily: "I guess the young master likes it. It was the same when I saw the young master and his wife taking a bath last time."
Jia Heng: "..."
Yes, come to think of it, when he and Keqing took a shower and changed clothes, that was probably the only time they didn't have Qingwen waiting for them.
Co-author Qingwen is lurking aside, stealing lessons from his master?
Also, if it were somewhere else, it might not be easy for Qingwen to hide, but in this side room where he was often served to bathe and change clothes, it was really hard to know where to hide.
Doesn't that mean that Qingwen saw everything that day?
When I thought about this, I was shocked.
Fortunately, Qingwen did not do anything else.
But after a while, he helped Jia Heng wash his back, lowered his head, and said softly: "Master, I can't even reach it from my back."
Jia Heng said "hmm", turned around and said softly: "Wash quickly, I'll have something to do later."
As he said that, he came closer.
…
…
After a long time, Jia Heng changed into a round-neck Sichuan brocade gown, and Qingwen put on a belt. Looking at the young man's face on the bronze mirror, he could vaguely see a look of annoyance between his eyebrows, and thought to himself: "Speaking of which. , it was the Princess who lured it out, but fortunately we stopped in time, and in the end... it didn't lead to chaos."
"Qingwen."
"What's the matter, sir?" Qingwen's eyebrows were curved under Liuye's slender eyebrows, and the blush on her pinky cheeks had not faded. Her heart was filled with sweetness, but she pretended to be as if nothing had happened. It was just the numbness and claws scratching her heart, which seemed to It just lingers in my mind.
She originally thought that it was great to be able to master so many things, but she never expected that there would be an unexpected surprise. The young master actually gnawed like a child...
Maybe you're hungry?
Jia Heng gently looked at Qingwen, who was becoming more and more beautiful, and said with a chuckle: "It's nothing. The clothes you sewed for me fit me quite well."
Qingwen pursed her pink lips, raised a pretty face, and said softly: "I already know what kind of figure you have, and besides, it's just underwear, so I made it looser for comfort. You can do it if you like it."
good."
Jia Heng couldn't help but rub the airy bangs of the airy girl, smiled and said: "Yes, she is clever and clever."
While the master and servant were talking, Jia Heng straightened his clothes, left the side room, and went to the inner hall to find Ping'er, intending to go to Rongguo Mansion.
Entering the inner hall, Qin Keqing, Youshi, Second Sister You, Third Sister You and Ping'er all stared at the young man opposite.
Each face is either gorgeous, gorgeous, soft, bright, or gentle, all with a hint of joy and surprise.
After the young man took a bath, he put on a robe made of Shu brocade with exquisite court weaving. Because he was not wearing an official uniform, his previous sharp and cold temperament was gone, and instead he became more friendly and gentle.
Under the sword-shaped eyebrows, the eyes are like bright stars, and the light is flowing, like a divine light.
Third Sister You's beautiful eyes under her willow-leaf slender eyebrows looked at Liubo, her gaze filled with water as she looked at the young man.
When I think of the young man in front of me who is as gentle as cold jade, manipulating life and death in the outside world, and is so powerful in the holy capital, my heart is swaying, and it is difficult to control myself.
Not only the third sister You, but also the second sister You's weak and quiet eyebrows were a little surprised, and she couldn't help but clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
Youshi's face was calm, but her beautiful eyes were as bright as water as she looked at the young man not far away.
Jia Heng nodded at the glances from several people, then looked at Qin Keqing and said warmly: "Keqing, I'm going to Xifu first with Ping'er."
Qin Keqing smiled and nodded: "Go, husband."
Naturally, she noticed the gazes of Sister You and her two younger sisters, and she felt a little happy.
There is no greater glory for a woman than to marry such a beloved man.
Ping'er looked at the tall young man with a gentle temperament and chuckled: "Uncle Heng, let's go."
Jia Heng nodded, and then followed Ping'er to Rongguo Mansion.
Rongguofu
At the invitation of Jia Mu, Aunt Xue talked in the Rongqing Hall. She didn't even need Sister Feng to liven up the atmosphere. Aunt Xue told what she had seen and heard at home and along the way, which made Jia Mu lean back and forth, laughing.
stop.
Aunt Xue has a plump and fair face with a slight smile.
Compared with Mrs. Wang who behaved in a gentle and virtuous manner when she was a girl in the boudoir, and even seemed a bit clumsy and tongue-tied, Aunt Xue should have been innocent and likes to joke and joke when she was a girl in the boudoir.
Now she was very popular with Jia Mu. She took Aunt Xue's hand and said with a smile: "You just come to the capital. Our relatives are all in the capital, so we can take care of everything."
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Isn't it? I heard it in Jinling, saying that the old lady's family is very unusual. Now her children and grandchildren are all very powerful, let's talk about Baoyu, who was born with great luck, and that Heng
Brother, we are also from the same family. I am a widow and unemployed, so I dragged my son and daughter to come here to take advantage of the old lady."
This was said so pleasantly that everyone laughed.
When Jia Mu heard this, although her heart was full of joy, she pretended to be annoyed and said: "It's important to take care of each other whether you are a relative or not. When it comes to my family, Baoyu is my first choice. He is filial and obedient.
Let’s talk about other things, that is, there are more men doing errands in front. Later, you can see Brother Heng. He is now in charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department and is in charge of everything on the streets of Beijing. Your family
If anything happens, don’t be heretical.”
After saying that, he looked at Sister Feng and asked: "Brother Heng, why haven't you come over yet? We'll have lunch together later."
Mrs. Wang listened on the side, her brows furrowed and her eyes a bit gloomy.
Sister Feng's charming young woman's face was filled with a smile and she said: "I've asked Ping'er to call her."
Baochai, Tanchun, Daiyu, Yingchun, and Xichun who were talking could not help but cast their eyes over.
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Brother Heng, I have actually seen him before."
As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "How do you say that?"
Aunt Xue told the whole story and said with a smile: "I followed Brother Heng all the way to Beijing, and then I saw a scene at the city gate. A decree was passed in the palace. It seemed that he was promoted to a first-class general because of his merit. Think about Heng.
I'm a big brother, so it's really amazing that someone of such a big talent can do something like that."
I have to say that Aunt Xue is very good at carrying bridal sedan chairs.
When Jia Mu heard this, the smile on her face became even brighter.
Over there, Baochai also entered the hall holding hands with Tanchun and Xiangyun, and several people laughed and talked.
Tanchun smiled and said: "Sister Bao, did you come here by boat or carriage?"
Although Baochai felt that these words were vaguely familiar, as if someone had asked about them before, she smiled softly and said, "After leaving Jinling, I first took a boat and then a carriage."
Tan Chun chuckled and said: "Although my ancestral home is Jinling, I have never been to Jinling since I was a child. I don't know how charming the mist and rain in Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, must be. What kind of flowers are there?"
Baoyu stood aside and took over the conversation with a smile, saying: "Third sister has never been there, and I haven't been there either. Sister Bao, are there any interesting places of interest in Jinling City?"
Now the elder sister of the Jia family has such a girl again, she is round and beautiful, gentle and elegant.
Baochai turned to look at Baoyu. The bright apricot eyes under Liuye's slender eyebrows flickered, and paused for a moment on the psychic jade on Baoyu's neck. He smiled and said softly: "There is a mountain."
There is water, and there are many places of interest, such as Phoenix Terrace, Confucius Temple, Jiming Temple, Qixia Mountain, Purple Mountain, and Xuanwu Lake. Many scholars went to Jinling for study tours.
If my brother wins the exam in the future, he can also go to Jinling to study."
Baoyu was listening happily, but when he heard the words about the scholar's study tour and passing the exam, he felt a little strange in his heart. The smile on his face under the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival froze, but it soon returned to normal.
Because this is a common saying and is not intended to be directed at him.
But the change in Baoyu's expression was also caught by Baochai, and a suspicion arose in his heart.
For a moment, I didn't think that I was also "not picking up the pot".
The starry eyes under the smoky eyebrows of Daiyu shone and moved, staring at Baochai, who had a plump appearance and smooth muscles and bones, and said softly: "Wei Zhuang, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said, "The rivers are raining and the grass is flowing, and the six dynasties are like a dream bird in the sky"
"Cry, the most ruthless willows in Taicheng are still smoke-covered ten-mile embankments. In the land of Jinling, I don't know how hazy the ten-mile smoke embankments in Jinling are."
Hearing this, Baochai glanced at Daiyu, looking at the delicate girl who looked like a living lady, she chuckled and said, "Sister Lin is also from Jiangnan, right?"
She did not answer Daiyu's question, because the ten-mile smoke embankment and the ten-mile Qinhuai River, this peaceful and contented girl, did not want to continue to go down.
Daiyu stared at Baochai and said softly: "My ancestral home is Gusu. I lived in Yangzhou with my parents. I have never had the opportunity to visit the land of Jinling."
Baochai chuckled and said, "There will always be opportunities in the future."
Daiyu nodded and said nothing more.
However, while a few people were talking, Lin Zhixiao's family entered the Rongqing Hall happily and said: "Old lady, madam, Mr. Heng and Miss Heping are here."
In the Rongqing Hall, all the female family members who were chatting and laughing stopped in unison, and all looked towards the corner of the screen.
