"Why don't you have dinner tonight?" Jia Heng smiled and suddenly said warmly.
Qingwen lowered her head, wrung her fingers and said, "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said, "Are you not hungry, or do you just don't want to eat?"
Seeing Qingwen's lips twitching but not answering after all, Jia Heng thought for a moment and said, "But because of the two sisters?"
Qingwen's delicate body trembled, shook her head, and nodded again.
Jia Heng said: "You must have heard just now that they are also people from poor backgrounds. If they work here, they can at least survive."
He was also a little puzzled for a moment. In the original work of "A Dream of Red Mansions", Qingwen didn't seem to have any xenophobic thoughts about the people coming and going in the Baoyu House?
Also, her words were a bit unpleasant. She had ridiculed Xiren for being a trickster, she had also ridiculed She Yue, she had not opened the door to Daiyu, and had even caused a small misunderstanding between Bao and Dai.
All in all, Qingwen is quite sarcastic and scolds people harshly. Just now, Qingwen got angry with him because she was in a bad mood.
"Young master, do you want to teach them two to read and write?" Just as Jia Heng was thinking about it, Qingwen suddenly raised a pair of sparkling eyes and asked.
"Huh?" Jia Heng was startled for a moment, looked at the girl's fluctuating eyes, frowned, and said: "I don't have enough time and energy to teach you alone, so I don't have the extra time and energy to teach others.
, of course, if you’re not willing to learn, that’s fine, I’m also happy to be free.”
At this moment, the voice of the maid Bi'er came from outside the wing: "Uncle Heng, the hot water is ready."
As he spoke, he entered the room with a towel, raised a childish and thin face, and said: "Uncle Heng, I'm here to take a bath for you."
"I'll take a shower first, let's talk later." Jia Heng went to take the clothes and said to Qingwen, who was standing there blankly.
Qingwen suddenly came to her senses at this moment and walked quickly towards the wing, saying softly: "Master, I have prepared a change of clothes for you. One of the robes has come off at the armpit. I have sewn it all today. I will give it to you."
Take it over."
When the girl turned around, her cheeks were as red as rouge, and she spoke very fast, with a bit of urgency.
Jia Heng frowned, glanced at the maid Bi'er, waved his hand and said: "Go and ask your aunt if there is any food in the kitchen. Go and heat it up and bring it here."
"Yes, Uncle Heng." The maid Bi'er responded.
But the girl who had just left and was walking on the eaves with her clothes paused in her steps, and her trembling body seemed to have calmed down a lot.
Jia Heng shook his head gently and walked towards the west wing.
The Jia family's old house has a total of five main rooms, three main rooms, east and west wings, and the west wing is where the bathtub is placed, which is used for bathing on weekdays.
The two rough servants lived in the same house as Aunt Cai.
At this time, Qingwen had put her clothes on the screen and lowered her head. Her pretty face, illuminated by the dim lights, was staring at her toes.
"Sir, I will help you bathe."
Jia Heng said: "I'm used to being alone. I don't need anyone else to serve me. You can go out."
Regardless of whether Qingwen simply wanted to take a bath with him, it was not easy for him to keep Qingwen here.
Well, it's not like I was wary of sex when I was a teenager.
But, if you don't just take a shower, let's say that at most Jia Ziyu... is trying out Yun Yuqing for the first time. How embarrassing would it be if he just takes a shower and he is a normal man?
However, in the original work, Qingwen, who made fun of She Yue and Baoyu for making water all over the floor while bathing. When she was dying, Qingwen, who was still innocent with Baoyu and was as bright as the bright moon, actually took the initiative to take a bath with him. It is very likely that it really happened.
has no other meaning.
"Young Master has drunk." Qingwen raised her pretty, bright face, and her voice was already trembling.
"It's just that I drank a few drinks less. It doesn't matter." Jia Heng urged: "Go out quickly. If you wait a little longer, the water will be cold."
When Qingwen heard this, she bit her lower lip and said nothing. She quietly left the room. At some point, she felt her heart beating violently.
Just now, she didn't know what happened. After listening to what Bi'er said and the young master's attitude of not rejecting him, she felt passionate...
"Sister Qingwen, Master asked someone to heat up the rice for you and put it in your room." Bi'er walked by and said silently.
"Are you trying to scare people to death with your little hooves?" Qingwen raised her eyebrows and scolded her almond-shaped eyes.
Bi'er lowered her head to her chest and whispered: "Sister Qingwen, I didn't mean it."
Qingwen looked at the timid girl and had no interest in scolding her. She just whispered: "Young Master never lets anyone take care of him when he takes a bath. Don't think about climbing high branches every day. Uncle Heng, that's what outsiders call him.
I’m going to call you Young Master from now on, do you hear me clearly?”
"Hmm..." the girl responded in a low voice.
After Qingwen finished speaking, she felt a little happier and then returned to the house.
Jia Heng was taking a bath in the west wing, his expression paused, and he sighed. No matter how soft his voice was, he was a master of internal martial arts and had excellent hearing and vision, so he could hear it clearly.
"It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature. We have to adjust it slowly. Otherwise, Qingwen's temperament will never be the same as Keqing's in the future."
Jia Heng felt that there was a high probability that that day would come. If he wanted to live a more comfortable life, he would have to take these into consideration.
Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs...
This is also the reason why he will not touch Qingwen before marriage even if he has the chance. He needs to consider Qin Keqing, his fiancée.
No matter what, Qin Keqing fulfilled the engagement, and he must show the minimum respect.
After Jia Heng took a bath, he put on clean clothes and returned to the east chamber. He saw that Qingwen was already reading the cards with paper cards, obviously preparing for his inspection.
"Sir," Qingwen called out when she saw Jia Heng entering the house, but the previous resentment and anger disappeared.
Jia Heng said: "Have you eaten?"
Qingwen nodded slightly.
Jia Heng didn't waste any time, picked up a stack of flash cards, shuffled them, and said with a smile: "Study, study, you can only learn and forget while learning."
With that said, he handed the literacy card to Qingwen and said, "You take one."
When Qingwen heard this, her pretty face turned an intoxicating blush. She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled, and said with a smile, "Then I'll smoke it."
He took one lightly.
I have to say that she is really the number one maid in the Red Mansion. This color is really charming and bright.
Jia Heng looked at Qingwen who closed her eyes and smiled sweetly, and sighed in her heart, no wonder she is arrogant and mean based on her appearance.
The night was misty, and before I knew it, the night passed, and dawn broke in the east, and the day came again.
The years pass by, and the seasons flow by.
For the next three days, Jia Heng repeated the life between Wencui Pavilion of the Imperial College and his home.
Until this day, Jia Heng prepared gifts and headed towards the Qin family.
At this time, the wedding ceremony was performed with three letters and six etiquettes, and Jia Heng had gone through the ceremony the day before yesterday, so this day was the day to ask for an appointment.
Once the wedding date is decided, the next step is to welcome them in person.
According to Jia Heng's opinion, the earlier the marriage is over, the better to prevent long nights and many dreams. However, considering the Qin family, it may be necessary to find an auspicious day. Of course, the two families also need to discuss specific arrangements for welcoming the bride.
The Qin family and Qin Ye had already applied for leave to the government today and were waiting at home for Jia Heng's visit to agree on the wedding date and subsequent wedding.
Although it is a small family, it is a daughter-in-law, so it still needs to be well managed.
Qin Ye planned to invite some colleagues from the Ministry of Industry to a banquet.
"It's just that Jia Heng, I don't know how he will handle it. I don't know if he will invite relatives and friends of the Jia family. I hope... don't wrong me, but my dearest one is the one." Qin Ye stood under the eaves of the corridor at this moment, with a look of thought on his old face.
