Chapter 524 Qin Keqing: This smell of cold scented pills
??????
Because there are lanterns hanging high in the corridors and pavilions of Ningguo Mansion, and the moon is bright and clear today, and the moonlight is as bright as a ray of light.
Qin Keqing did not carry a lantern, but used the lantern hanging on the corridor to illuminate. While talking, he came to the southwest attic that Sister You mentioned, climbed up the steps, stood in front of the window, facing the west.
Looking from the direction of the study room.
As Sister You Sanjie said, from a high position, you can see a window opening to the flower wall through a leafy sycamore tree from an angle.
The window opens towards the flower wall, with thorns and vines planted in the wall. Farther away is the cornice gatehouse, so ordinary people will not peek inside. At this moment, half of the carved glass lets light through, and behind the front hall is
The cabin is brightly lit and the figures are looking forward to it.
Qin Keqing's beautiful eyebrows were condensed, and she looked around. Her watery gaze first swept to the front hall, where she saw a figure sitting by the window, holding a round embroidery hoop in his hand, and stretching his arms.
This is sewing.
"Looking at the shadow, it looks like Sister Xue's maid Ying'er." Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes flashed and she guessed who it was, without stopping, her gaze glanced to the left.
"Well, this is the inner room, there is no curtain?"
Qin Keqing looked at the inner compartment, as if he felt powerless, so he put his feet up and looked at it. At this moment, he couldn't help but tighten his handkerchief, and felt his heart rising to his throat.
Although the lights were brightly lit at this moment, no human figures were reflected in the windows.
"Husband, he and Sister Xue...maybe they went out for something?" Qin Keqing thought.
However, this thought had not stayed in her heart for long. After a while, Qin Keqing raised her eyes and saw two shadows projected on the window. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she couldn't help but reach out to cover her mouth as if struck by thunder.
I saw the two figures hugging each other, and the shadow of Zhen's head, which was obviously wearing a bun, seemed to be raised high, while the figure of the man was buried under the neck of the figure with a bun, holding a small moon in his mouth.
"Husband, he and Sister Xue..." Qin Keqing saw this scene, her delicate body swayed, and she couldn't help but cover her heart with her hands. Her face was as pale as paper at some point, but the light in the attic was slightly dim, so she couldn't see clearly.
Feelings of mixed emotions, shock, sourness, relief?
As for the relief, it was nothing more than the last shoe falling on the ground, but there was actually a trace of relief in my heart.
The husband and Sister Xue were in such secret communication that it was definitely not just a day or two. I am afraid that when Xue Pan was sent to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, the two of them kept coming and going, a man and a woman living together in the same room, and then the two of them
So we hooked up together.
Well, why did she say hookup?
No, my husband likes Sister Xue so much, he should tell her, she is not a jealous person, huh? But at this moment, her hands and feet are cold, and there is a dull pain in her heart...
It's just that...she was having a hard time being kept secret.
If the third sister hadn't told her, maybe she would have been kept in the dark until the two of them became pregnant.
When that day comes, she won't be the last to know, right?
Thinking of this, I was startled and began to recall whether the eyes of those mothers, third sister You and second sister You in the past had different meanings.
But when I think about it, it doesn't have any special meaning.
"No wonder Sister Xue has been looking at me with such complicated eyes these past two days. It turns out..." Qin Keqing lowered her beautiful eyes. At this moment, she realized with hindsight that the girl had peeked at her with complicated eyes from time to time during the day.
Doubts, now I have the answer...
Qin Keqing took a deep breath, forced down the sourness in her heart, and left the attic.
Ningguo Mansion, West Wing Study Room
The wind and shadows outside the window are swaying, candles are clustered in the house, and the warm fragrance in the smoke cage floats silently in the room with the curls of light smoke, refreshing the heart and mind.
On the bed surrounded by curtains, there is a quilt embroidered with hibiscus flowers, but there are two people sitting on it at this moment. Zhen's head, which is combed in a bun, is slightly raised, and her face is as white and plump as a white begonia.
The child is as bright as the clouds, with two breasts, soft jade hands holding the young man's shoulders, and the golden lock hanging around his neck swinging back and forth unjustly, and every time the golden lock shakes, it dazzles with the light of the gradual change of light and dark circles.
.
The tassels on the skirt had already been rubbed into a mess by one hand.
Baochai's delicate body trembled, and she snorted softly. She suddenly felt something strange, and opened her bright eyes with a hint of emotion. Yinglan's lips seemed to be murmuring in shame: "Brother Heng, what's wrong?
Chapter 523 Qin Keqing: This smell of cold scented pills...
…”
Jia Heng stood up, stared at Baochai, whose head was lowered and her face was blushing, and whispered: "It's nothing."
I don't know what's going on, I feel vaguely uncomfortable somewhere.
It felt like I was being peeped on.
This feeling is actually like being targeted by a sniper scope in later generations.
He lowered the curtains and carried Baochai to the bed in the back room. The feeling of being spied on became less severe.
Probably not Ying'er.
Jia Heng thought so.
Baochai felt the discomfort in her skirt, and her cheeks were as red as fire, extending to her earlobes. Her voice was already trembling, and she whispered: "Brother Heng...it's getting late, or...I'll go back first."
, it’s too late to go back, mom should be suspicious.”
She was worried that if things continued like this, it would really lead to chaos.
Jia Heng hugged her plump figure and whispered: "Sister, the rain and dew are so heavy now...don't catch a cold."
"Brother Heng? Ah..." Baochai's heart trembled slightly, and she was stunned for a moment, then she understood, and then she suddenly fell into Jia Heng's arms, Shuilan's apricot eyes lowered, hiding a hint of panic.
Jia Heng said softly: "How about I serve my sister for once?"
"Ah?" Baochai's face showed a trace of confusion, as if she was a little confused.
Jia Heng thought for a while, then gave up the idea and whispered: "When we pick up Wenlong tomorrow, let's go out for a walk."
I always feel like something is vaguely wrong.
Baochai said "hmm", bit her cherry lips with her white teeth, and her apricot eyes were softly wavy.
As the two of them talked, they cleaned up and left the compartment. Only the blush remaining on Baochai's face, as bright as rouge, seemed to remind them of the thrill just now.
Ying'er quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand, pretending not to notice Baochai's strange behavior, and whispered: "Girl, shall we go back?"
"It's getting late, it's time to go back." Baochai said softly, then turned to look at Jia Heng and said, "Brother Heng, there is no need to send me off, I can just go back by myself."
She was worried that she might no longer be able to stop his frivolity.
While Jia Heng was talking, he also sent Baochai out of the study, walked to the eaves of the corridor, and said, "Then I won't send Sister Xue away. Wenlong's side... eh?"
Just as he was talking, he suddenly felt startled, and saw a slim and beautiful girl standing at the Moon Gate. Under the clouds and green bun, her hibiscus and jade face was covered with frost, and there were even people beside her.
He didn’t take his maid with him, he just stood there all alone...
"Husband, it's getting so late, why don't you take Sister Xue back?" Qin Keqing asked with a smile on her bright eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows.
She had just figured it out, she was a royal official of the imperial court, and she was the wife that her husband was marrying. She could not pretend not to know, but let her husband do whatever he wanted.
When Baochai heard Qin Keqing's voice at this moment, she couldn't help but startled. The remaining blush on her face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a pale, green-feathered eyebrow with apricot eyes in shock.
The lanterns that Ying'er was holding fell down.
Jia Heng asked: "But Qing, it's so late, why aren't you asleep?"
Qin Keqing was wearing a red dress. Under the reflection of a string of red lanterns on both sides of the corridor, the golden steps on her bun shone brightly. She walked closer and said with a smile: "Just come over and take a look, sister, the sky is still dark at this time."
Morning, why don't you go in and sit down for a while to talk? How can I talk to my sister properly all the time?"
It was still late when he said that it was still early, but for the girl, it was for the two of them. Baochai heard this, Yurong paused, bit his pink lips with his white teeth, and Xing
He looked at the girl opposite and vaguely understood something.
It seems like...it was discovered?
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said softly: "Ke Qing, sister Xue, tomorrow..."
Qin Keqing glanced at Jia Heng and said softly: "Husband, I'll talk to Sister Xue. You should go back and rest first."
When Jia Heng's words came to his lips, he quickly paused because when he looked closer, he noticed that Ke Qing's eyes seemed to have marks.
"Brother Heng, I'm just chatting with...Sister Qin." Baochai calmed down and whispered.
"That's fine." Jia Heng said softly, looked at Qin Keqing and said, "I'll go back to the room and wait for you."
He really doesn't fit here.
Chapter 523 Qin Keqing: This smell of cold scented pills...
With that said, he walked towards the backyard room.
After Jia Heng left, Qin Keqing walked towards the anxious Baochai, took Su's hand and said softly: "Sister."
Ying'er glanced at her young lady worriedly, and she nodded and said softly: "Ying'er, just wait here and I'll say a few words."
Then, Baochai and Qin Keqing entered the study room in the west wing arm in arm, and sat down on the chairs across a small table from each other. In this wing where the two of them had communicated secretly, Baochai frowned slightly, and there was something in his heart.
Different.
Qin Keqing picked up the teapot at this time, then picked up several tea cups, as if he wanted to pour tea for Baochai.
When Baochai saw this, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly took the teapot and said in a trembling voice: "Sister Qin, I'll just do it." Qin Keqing's face paused, but she didn't insist. In other words, it was just a test, so it was true.
If you let her serve you, don't blame her.
At this time, the beautiful eyes under Liu Ye's eyebrows looked at the girl who was holding up the teapot and pouring tea. She was plump and elegant, with smooth muscles and bones. No wonder her husband liked her so much and kept it secret from her for so long. Thinking of this, her heart felt sour.
Baochai also felt a little uneasy. She poured the tea cup, endured a strange feeling in her heart, held it over with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister, drink tea."
At this moment, it was almost as if he was coming to the door to offer tea to the lady.
Qin Keqing reached out and took the tea cup. Looking at the fair-skinned girl opposite, she felt a little better. She took the tea cup, took a sip, and suddenly looked at Baochai with burning eyes, asking: "Sister and him...
…When did it start?”…
When Baochai heard this, her cheeks turned red, she lowered her head slightly and muttered: "I..."
How should she answer this?
Qin Keqing sighed quietly and asked: "But when the Xue brothers went to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division?" Baochai whispered: "...that was that time.
Qin Keqing paused and murmured: "It's so early."
This sentence instantly made Baochai's heart hang in his throat.
Qin Keqing looked at Baochai, who was bowing his head silently, and said softly: "It seems that he really likes his sister." Last year, she and him had only been married for a short time, and the Xue family had only been in Beijing for a long time, and they hooked up like this.
Moreover, through Xue Pan's incident, the two of them had the opportunity to get together. They went back and forth and fell in love for a long time. Why didn't she notice it at the time?
What was she doing at that time?
Let her think about it? Well, touch dominoes?
This is really...
No wonder he later invented mahjong?
Qin Keqing suddenly felt a sense of absurdity in his heart, but when he thought about it, it seemed very reasonable.
"Sister, I..." Seeing that the girl opposite was silent, Baochai became more and more uneasy, opened her mouth, and called out in a low voice.
In fact, if we really talk about it, she was the one who asked Brother Heng to look at Jin Suo that day...
Qin Keqing put back her thoughts, took a deep breath, looked at the girl opposite, and said: "Sister, I will go and tell my aunt tomorrow that I will choose an auspicious day to welcome my sister to the house."
Na rather than marry, of course I never thought of marrying for a moment.
When Baochai heard this, her jade face changed slightly, she considered her words and said, "Sister...he said he would wait a little longer."
When I talked about the latter part, I felt even more frightened.
"What are you waiting for? If others see it, it will not be good for my sister's reputation. He doesn't know the honor of our daughter's family.
There can't be any stains." Qin Keqing picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said softly.
Baochai didn't know how to explain it.
Could it be that he wants to marry her as his wife? I'm afraid Sister Qin...
But this failure to explain the truth is obviously not a problem.
Baochai hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "He said he would marry me in a few years."
When Qin Keqing heard this, he paused in his hand and the teacup made a "click" sound. His face instantly turned pale without a trace of blood.
Married?
What about her?
Are you going to divorce her? Then marry a girl from the Xue family?
Impossible, she was granted a first-grade imperial title by the imperial court.
That's right, if you have no children, you have violated the rule of seven outings. Divorcing your wife has its own reputation, so you are waiting for her here?
No, it doesn’t make sense. With my husband’s temperament, as long as he makes it clear to her, there is no need to go to such trouble. And he has been saying it before
Chapter 523 Qin Keqing: This smell of cold scented pills...
You need to be with her on good terms.
Seeing the ugly face of the beauty opposite, Baochai knew that there was an ambiguity in his words, so he quickly explained: "Sister, I misunderstood. He said that he would wait a few years to make achievements before asking for marriage from the palace. Only then could he ask for marriage."
It’s the best of both worlds, not the other way around.”
She sighed secretly in her heart, if she hadn't just heard about getting married, she wouldn't have said anything about getting married.
When Qin Keqing heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She stared at the girl opposite who was clutching a handkerchief with a look of annoyance, and said in a daze, "It seems he really likes Sister Xue."...
This time, his heart felt even more sour. He even said the promise of marriage based on meritorious service. How much love would this bring?
This is to prevent her from being a little wronged and treat her with the courtesy of a true wife. No wonder I kept it from her.
"My husband always means what he says. If he says so, he will definitely do it in the future. Congratulations to my sister." Qin Keqing said softly.
Baochai quickly said: "Sister has misunderstood. Brother Heng likes her and he has always loved and protected her."
Just as he was talking, he gradually felt that his words to defend him were a bit inappropriate, so he said softly: "Sister Qin, it's me...it's my fault."
When she spoke for him, what did she do to the person opposite her? Instead, it seemed that she and he were one and the same as husband and wife.
That's not what he said.
Just when I was distracted, I suddenly felt my hand being held, and heard a soft voice like water ringing in my ears. I raised my eyes to meet the bright and clear eyes, and my heart moved slightly.
Qin Keqing said softly: "I know my sister's heart, so I don't need to explain it. As for him, he and I are both husband and wife. In fact, I told him a few days ago that Sister Xue has such a good appearance.
When we are about to get married, it would be nice to take them over as sisters together, but I didn’t think about it..."
Unexpectedly, he hid it and pretended, and his tone was really tight. Is this because he was afraid that she would bully Sister Xue if he got through?
Besides, the second sister and the third sister in the room are all waiting for food. He told him early that she was not a jealous woman, so he had to tell her.
When Baochai heard this, she stared at Qin Keqing with her watery apricot eyes for a moment, sighed, and called: "Sister Qin."
"Okay, let's not talk about these things, sisters. Let's talk about my sister. Does aunt know about this?" Qin Keqing asked with concern.
Baochai shook Zhen's head gently and whispered: "I haven't told mom yet."
Qin Keqing thought for a while and said in a delicate voice: "You can't hide it for too long. Even if your husband wants to achieve military service and ask the palace for a marriage, during this period, what should I do if my aunt arranges a marriage for my sister?
?”
"What do you mean, sister?" Baochai heard this, raised his jade face as crystal as snow, pursed his lips, and said anxiously.
Qin Keqing said: "When my sister thinks the time is right, she can talk to her aunt. If she has any difficulties at that time, she can come to me and I will talk to my aunt. It will be better to spread the word then."
No matter what, she needs to think about her husband's reputation.
When Baochai heard this, he looked at the girl with gentle eyes across from him, and waves of warmth surged through his heart.
Because no one knows better than her. If the woman in front of her helps her tell her, the kind of gossip that will last a lifetime will not be spread. She said gratefully: "I listen to my sister."
Qin Keqing took Baochai's jade hand, sat on the soft couch beside him, smiled and said: "Sister, I can come over often to talk. If we pass the door, not only him, we will also live under the same roof."
It’s a lifelong thing.”
It's easy to say what kind of princesses and princesses are there in front of me, and I don't know how many princesses and princesses there are out there. This is really tricky.
Hearing this, Baochai's cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She nodded her head lightly and said softly: "Sister knows more than me. I'll have to trouble her to remind her in the future."...
"I also like my sister's character." Qin Keqing said with a sweet smile.
The two of them talked and didn't realize that time passed by.
"I can't say anything else." Qin Keqing said softly, swallowing the words that before the two of them get married, it's best not to have children. It seemed like she had a guilty conscience and said with a smile:
"Okay, my husband is probably impatient, so I'll take you there."
Baochai responded calmly, feeling a little dizzy.
But said the other side
Chapter 523 Qin Keqing: This smell of cold scented pills...
In the backyard, in the side room, Jia Heng was sitting on the bed, picking up a book and reading by the candlelight on the table. After being surprised just now, he calmed down now.
Although what happened was slightly beyond his expectation, it actually did not lead to a fire in the backyard.
After a while, I heard familiar footsteps coming from outside the bamboo-patterned embroidered screen. Not long after, I saw a beautiful woman with a graceful appearance and gorgeous clothes slowly coming in from the outside.
"Come back?" Jia Heng put down the book in his hand and asked.
Qin Keqing said "Hmm" and silently came to the dressing table, shaking the golden hairpin on her temples in front of the bronze mirror.
Jia Heng put down the book, walked up to the beauty, looked at the hibiscus jade face in the bronze mirror, and said softly: "Today, my father-in-law and I went to see Mr. Shi from the Ministry of War. I think it will be here in the next few days."
"Just go and see me. You don't need to tell me about these external things." Qin Keqing put the removed gold hairpin into a brocade box and said softly.
Jia Heng gently squeezed the beauty's shoulder and whispered: "I just want to tell you, you should know."
"I haven't seen you say a word about what I want to know." Qin Keqing said quietly.
Jia Heng: “.…”
"Are you jealous?" When the beauty stood up, Jia Heng hugged her slender waist from behind and whispered.
Qin Keqing turned around, with a smile on her beautiful face, and said: "I wipe dominoes every day, and my third sister and the others are with me, how can I be jealous? Well, I can still play mahjong now.
, listening to the play, compared with the old lady of Xifu, she is just short of a family full of children and grandchildren."
"You said you're not jealous? I'm afraid the entire Ningrong Street can smell the jealousy." Jia Heng leaned close to his cheek and joked in a low voice.
Keqing has always been obedient and obedient. Could he be led astray by... Sister Feng for his sudden appearance? Qin Keqing gently broke away from Jia Heng's arm, bit her lips with her teeth, and said angrily: "This
I'm afraid the whole Ningrong Street will smell the smell of cold scented pills. Don't hug me right now."
Jia Heng: "???"
Seeing that the young man behind her was speechless, Qin Keqing also felt that these words were a bit offensive, but she was really unhappy if she didn't stab him a few words.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said softly: "I didn't tell you in advance."
Keqing should be angry about this all the time. He hid it from her. This was the crux of the problem. But how could he not hide this kind of thing?
"There's no need to say anything now. Sister Xue has told me everything." Qin Keqing said with a self-deprecating smile, thinking that she had seen everything anyway. After thinking about it, she said softly: "I think Sister Xue is a good person."
, Luoluo is generous, and she is also a knowledgeable person. I asked the question the day before yesterday, but my husband still gave me a careless look... My husband's family has only three generations. Even if it is to extend the heir plan, it doesn't matter if I have a few more houses. I won't stop it.
of."…
She had to hide it from her, and she couldn't even ask about it outside.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Things are a bit complicated. You know the situation of her family. I want to wait for a year or two and find a way to give her a status, otherwise..."
Otherwise, if he had just gotten his brother in and took his sister, Aunt Xue might have thought that he was trying to seize the Xue family's property.
Qin Keqing sighed softly and said: "It's good that your husband is aware of it. Sister Xue is okay. She can also perform military exploits. Please give me a marriage title. If she is a princess, princess or something, I will give her a title. I don't think so."
Is it easy? At that time, my husband also told me in advance that I would pack up and go back to my parents' house without causing any trouble to my husband."
Jia Heng: “???
How do you ask him to answer the call at this time? Just pretend he didn't hear you. But it's normal for you to be angry. If you're not angry... you'll be in big trouble.
But once you are angry, it will pass.
"Madam, the hot water is ready." At this time, Baozhu called from outside.
When Jia Heng heard this voice, he felt relieved and said quickly: "Help me prepare some clothes. I will also take a bath."
With that said, he took Qin Keqing's hand and said warmly: "Okay, don't be angry. Let's take a bath and rest early. There are still a lot of things to do these days."
"Hmm." Qin Keqing softly said "Hmm" and rolled her eyes at the young man. The sourness in her heart gradually dissipated.
She wasn't too jealous at first, but... she had to hide it from her.
Chapter 523 Qin Keqing: This smell of cold scented pills...
Also, don’t touch the ones that are around you in Dongfu. You have to go to Xifu to search for them. No wonder Miss You San is so angry that she secretly stumbles you.
Well, she still has to help the third sister hide it, otherwise she will be kept in the dark again in the future, and she won't even have an informant to report the news.
It's just that Sister Xue is also a scheming person. She can see how much effort it will take to get along with her in the future.
