Chapter 680 Jia Heng: I have already treated him yin and yang before.
In the evening, in the Rongqing Hall, hairpin skirts and coats were shining, and voices of laughter could be heard from time to time. It was Sister Feng's voice.
Jia Mu was sitting on the Arhat bed, laughing non-stop because of Sister Feng. On the embroidered pier at the bottom, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others were sitting in a row. Beside them were Li Wan, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xiangyun, Dai.
Jade is a companion, and there are also precious jade.
Because Shi Ding and his wife came to visit at noon, Baoyu had two glasses of wine, and his cheeks were red and his head was covered with sweat. Jia Mu then said that it was a hot day and it was easy to get heatstroke after eating wine and going back to school, so she asked Baoyu to rest at home for two days.
Baoyu sat on the embroidered pier at the bottom, chatting with Daiyu, while Xiangyun was also talking and laughing beside him.
Daiyu did not ignore him. As usual, she sometimes said witty words and sometimes pursed her lips and smiled. On the surface, there was nothing different about Baoyu.
After all, women are all born actors. The more beautiful a woman is, the more outstanding her acting skills are. If she really wants to act, she can fix the faucet every day.
"Old lady, the uncle is here." At this time, a nanny entered the hall and said with a smile, and the laughter in Rongqing Hall also stopped.
While he was talking, a young man wearing a Shu brocade robe with a bamboo and green leaf pattern, tall and tall, appeared in front of everyone.
"Brother Heng is here." Jia Mu smiled and looked at the young man, feeling a little surprised in her heart.
Everyone in the clan knew that Jia Heng was a busy man, so he went to Jinyi Mansion to ask questions in the morning.
Jia Heng sat down and explained, "Come here to talk to the old lady about something."
When Jia Mu heard this, she was even more surprised. She smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
Everyone also stopped talking and laughing and looked at the young man.
Jia Heng put down the teacup, raised his eyes and glanced at Daiyu, and said: "Old lady, it has been a few years since Sister Lin came to Beijing. She has been separated from Uncle Lin, and the father and daughter are not allowed to see each other. It is really hard. In a few years,
God, I went to Yangzhou on business under the emperor's order, and I plan to take Sister Lin to Yangzhou to reunite with Uncle Lin and his daughter, and then go to Gusu to pay homage to my aunt."
As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu was slightly shocked, and everyone in the Rongqing Hall was stunned and looked at Daiyu.
Xiangyun said in surprise: "Sister Lin is going back to Yangzhou?"
Tan Chun's bright eyes sparkled, and he guessed: "Last time, Brother Heng was fighting floods in Huai'an Prefecture, and then he went to Yangzhou to mobilize troops. I heard that he also met his uncle. I think he was thinking about Sister Lin."
But the smile that was still brimming with Baoyu's full-moon face instantly froze on his face, dumbfounded and in a trance.
Sister Lin is leaving? Going back to Yangzhou and never coming back?
Baoyu's eyes were straight, as if he was about to suffer from hysteria again, but because everyone was focusing on Daiyu's return to Yangzhou, no one cared about it for a while.
In fact, as Daiyu grew older and entered the age of cardamom, the girl with unparalleled beauty has half or six points of the charm of the Xiaoxiang concubine, like a hibiscus swaying in the wind, every frown and smile is bright and moving.
Just as the original work said, it has gradually reached the point where Xue Pan will be stunned on the spot once he takes one look at it. If Baoyu used to be his childhood sweetheart playmate, he only had a vague closeness to Daiyu since he was a child, but now he has
The treasure of human affairs is undoubtedly the bond of love and affection.
In the original work where Jia Heng did not exist, the second year after Baochai's arrival was exactly the period of rapid development of Bao-dai's love. In the end, they fell in love with each other and were difficult to separate, but now it is just Bao-yu's unilateral coveting.
Hearing this, Jia Mu looked down at Daiyu, who looked down with her shining starry eyes and beautiful features, and was about to say goodbye. She said softly: "Brother Heng, these thousands of miles are bumping back and forth. Yu'er's body is already weak.
.”
Jia's mother, who was kissing Bao Dai's CP, didn't know why, but subconsciously didn't want Dai Yu to go back, but Jia Heng just said it was reasonable and reasonable. After Dai Yu came to Shenjing for so many years, her close relatives were separated, and now the father and daughter should be reunited.
Regardless of these, Daiyu, who has grown into a graceful young girl, returns to her ancestral home to pay homage to her deceased mother. Isn’t it the most loving and filial relationship between heaven and humanity?
Jia Heng said: "Don't worry, old lady, we will go there by boat all the way. The road is smooth and tight. Besides, I originally asked Xi Ren to serve Sister Lin and go south together."
As he said that, he glanced at Daiyu. Under his firm eyebrows, his clear eyes were a little warmer.
He winked, because he and Daiyu had mentioned the matter of going south before, so he meant to wink.
Under Daiyu's smoky brows, those dazzling starry eyes flickered, catching the fleeting look, her heart skipped a beat, her breathing quickened, she turned to look at Jia Mu with her bright autumn eyes, and spoke softly
Said: "Grandma, I came to Shenjing when I was six or seven years old. I have been separated from my father for many years. I only learned about the current situation when Hongyan sent a letter. Since a year ago, my father has been in poor health. As a woman, I can't come close to serve him.
The decoction really makes my heart uneasy."
Speaking of this, thinking of his own life experience, he sighed softly, his eyes were slightly red, and he choked with sobs: "Now that I have grown up, I also want to visit my mother."
As soon as these words came out, a wave of sadness arose in everyone's heart. At this point, it was almost difficult for Jia Mu to refuse. It has been five or six years since Daiyu came to Beijing at the age of six or seven. From a young child learning to speak, to
When you grow up to be a cardamom girl, you should pay homage to your deceased mother no matter what the opportunity is.
Jia Heng looked at this scene, his eyes were a little dazed, and he sighed softly in his heart.
Therefore, he really disagreed with Jia Mu's approach. After Lin Ruhai died, Daiyu followed Jia Lian to Yangzhou for the funeral. After that, her activities were completely limited to Jia's mansion and the Grand View Garden. To put it bluntly, she was almost like Baoyu's child bride.
In general, the purpose of Daiyu's existence, whose parents both died, was to fall in love with Baoyu, and then she died in tears. How sad?
Jia Mu was also moved by what Daiyu said. Her eyes were wet and she was filled with tears. She opened her arms and murmured: "Yu'er, my poor Yu'er."
"Grandma." Daiyu called softly, coming close enough to be hugged by Jia Mu.
When everyone saw this scene, they also felt a little sad. Without him, Daiyu's words just now were truly like those of a girl who lost her mother when she was young and grew up.
Because Jia Heng is here, a young girl who originally just cared about her mother's early death and felt sorry for herself. When she really expressed her thoughts about missing her late mother, she felt moved by "I am strong and I should return home to serve my father and sacrifice my mother."
Seeing this scene, Aunt Xue also picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears and looked at Daiyu.
Jia Heng looked at Daiyu quietly, and a poem suddenly came to his mind, although it didn't quite fit the situation when a daughter in my family was growing up.
Jia Mu gently stroked Daiyu's back, comforted Daiyu, and sighed: "Yu'er, I didn't let you go back in the past. Firstly, I missed you because you were still young. Secondly, I was worried that you would miss people after seeing things and be too sad.
, now that you are thinking of going home to visit, and Brother Heng happens to be going to Yangzhou, you should go home to meet your father, and then go to Gusu to see your mother."
After all, Jia Min is Jia Mu's only daughter, so she certainly has weight deep in her heart.
Daiyu's eyes were blurred with tears, and she softly said "Hmm". Her face was as cold as snow, and she shed tears silently.
How many years has it been since she last saw her father, and how many years has she not seen her mother? If it weren’t for Brother Heng, who knows when she will be reunited with her father?
Mother Jia comforted Dai Yu, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, raised her old eyes, and warned: "Brother Heng, Yu'er has never traveled far, please take care of her on the road."
"Don't worry, old lady, I will take good care of her." Jia Heng nodded, thought for a while, and said sternly: "However, if the old lady is worried, why don't you lend me a person to take better care of Sister Lin on the way?
Daily life."
Baoyu's eyes moved slightly, his heart skipped a beat, his mouth opened and he hesitated to speak. If he went to Yangzhou, he would be able to take good care of Sister Lin on the way.
Jia Mu was puzzled for a moment and asked, "Which one does Brother Heng want to borrow?"
Everyone else also looked at the young man, their eyes unclear.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "The mandarin duck around the old lady has always been cautious. I thought about letting her take Sister Lin to Yangzhou with her, and with a waiting Xiren, I will definitely take care of Sister Lin."
Thoughtful and appropriate.”
Sister Feng Danfeng rolled her eyes and answered with a smile: "Old lady, I just said that the old lady knows how to take care of people, Yuanyang is asking her to follow and serve Sister Lin."
As the young woman Hua Xin spoke, she glanced at the young man's side face, lightly clenched her handkerchief, and thought in her eyes, secretly thinking that she was attracted to the mandarin ducks and took the opportunity to ask for brother Heng's plan. This upset Ning Guo.
Everyone in the government heard it.
Jia Mu first
He was stunned for a moment, and after hearing what Sister Feng said, he smiled and said: "Brother Heng is good at choosing people. Yuanyang is a well-behaved and obedient child. She is the best around me. Now that I have left her, I can't even eat."
It smells so good that I can't even sleep."
I also knew a little bit in my heart. Although I had originally intended to give it to Brother Heng, I still had to wait two or three years and wanted it now. I was really reluctant to give it up.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "The old lady misunderstood. I just went to Yangzhou and came back in a month or two. When I come back, I will still be waiting in front of the old lady."
Hearing this, Jia Mu smiled and said, "It's rare for Brother Heng to speak once, mandarin duck."
Yuanyang was helping Jia Mu by squeezing her shoulders. A slight blush appeared on her egg-shaped white cheeks, and she said in a charming voice: "Old lady, please give me your orders."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "You heard what Brother Heng said just now. You pack up and go to Yangzhou with Brother Heng."
Yuanyang's eyes flashed and she pursed her pink lips, but she didn't respond immediately. Instead, she said with an embarrassed look on her face: "The old lady is in need of service."
"I have no shortage of helpers here, just go ahead. Yu'er is outside, so I don't worry too much." When Jia Mu saw this, her old face smiled broadly, and she felt a lot of reluctance in her heart.
There is truly no more considerate and reliable person around me than Yuanyang.
"Yes." Yuanyang responded softly, feeling a little happy in his heart.
It's not that the girl is tired of serving Jia's mother, but that she was moved by Jia Heng's words about visiting relatives and was also attracted by the beautiful scene described by the attacker going south.
"Brother Heng, Yu'er has never been far away. You should pay attention to her weak body on the way. Don't let her catch cold or wind." Jia Mu looked at Jia Heng and warned her.
It can be said that Daiyu's departure from the house is a big event, because since she came to Beijing at the age of six, she has been raised by Jia's mother, and then she grew into a beautiful young girl in front of her. Now she has to leave home, naturally.
It needs to be prepared several days in advance.
Jia Heng said: "Don't worry, old lady, I will take good care of Sister Lin."
As he said that, he looked at Daiyu and nodded at her.
Daiyu's face, still stained with tears, was obviously more miserable. She pursed her lips, her starry eyes flashed, and she said softly: "Brother Laoheng."
No one had any doubts. Just like in the original work, no one would make any assumptions about the fact that a cousin like Jia Lian, who already had a family, took Daiyu south to attend the funeral.
After that, Jia's mother gave Jia Heng a few more words, until nightfall, Jia Heng didn't stay any longer and said goodbye.
When we returned to Ningguo Mansion, it was already dusk, the lights were brightly lit, and the sound of mahjong could be heard. Several Yingying Yanyan gathered around the table and asked the maids to pack the mahjong. A nanny prepared a copper pot filled with water.
In the basin, serving Qin Keqing and the You sisters, Baochai washed his hands.
"Husband, where did you come back from?" Qin Keqing took a towel to wipe her hands, and under her beautiful eyebrows, her charming eyes looked at the young man who came in from the outside and asked.
Baochai stared at the slender young man in a Su brocade robe. Because he had left food, Baochai did not leave.
"I'm going to the old lady." Jia Heng finished describing the journey south to Yangzhou and explained: "It only takes three to five days to set off."
Qin Keqing frowned, held her handkerchief, and asked, "Why do you want to go south again, husband?"
Jia Heng briefly explained the key points of the salt affairs and said: "There is nothing to do in Beijing. Go early and come back early."
Qin Keqing thought about it for a moment, without asking further questions, and said, "My husband wants to take Sister Lin to Yangzhou with him. Has the old lady agreed?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I agreed. After spending so many years at home, I should go back to see my uncle."
At this moment, Baochai suddenly heard that Jia Heng was going to Yangzhou. He was obviously a little surprised and asked, "Brother Heng is going to Yangzhou with Qi'er?"
Jia Heng turned to look at Baochai and said softly: "Last time I went to Yangzhou to see my uncle, my uncle talked about Sister Lin. This time it is just right for her to reunite with Uncle Lin."
Baochai nodded her head, her fair and white jade face showing emotion, and said softly: "It's time for me to go back and see Uncle Lin."
This is human ethics and filial piety. How can we live in grandma’s house?
For several years, when I had the opportunity, I didn’t go back to see my old father and those who visited my late mother’s grave? No one could explain it.
Third Sister You, who was sitting not far away, tilted her head and listened to the conversation of several people. Her beautiful eyebrows were condensed, and there was a trace of anxiety on her pretty face. The uncle had just come back not long ago, and he was leaving again?
What about her affairs?
At this time, several people sat down and started eating their food.
"Husband, I heard from the old lady at noon that the day after tomorrow is the birth of the Queen Mother, and the ladies of each family are going to the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birth. Husband told me what gift I should prepare." Qin Keqing put down her chopsticks and asked.
This is Mrs. Gaoming's usual social banquet, so Qin Keqing said this.
Several people listened to the couple's conversation without interrupting, but they had different thoughts. Mrs. Gaoming could be invited to the palace to socialize and talk with the queen mother, empress, and princess.
Jia Heng stared at Qin Keqing and asked, "What did the old lady say?"
Jinyang didn't tell him before, maybe he forgot about it, or maybe he would tell him next time he met.
Qin Keqing said softly: "The old lady said that gold, silver and jewelry are too tacky, so she asked me to select some wild ginseng and some rare foreign utensils in the warehouse. The old lady also said that if I want to make something fancy, I need to put some thought into it.
Woolen cloth."
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, raised his eyes to look at the three beautiful girls, and said, "Actually, I don't know what to give. You guys are very smart, why don't you come up with an idea together?"
Qin Keqing glanced at Jia Heng angrily and thought, since you don't know, you can ask the eldest princess.
It's just that these words are slandered in my heart and I will never say them out.
Baochai said softly: "The main reason is that Sister Qin doesn't know what the Queen Mother likes. Brother Heng knows more people. Maybe he can ask someone who knows."
Jia Heng glanced at Xue Qin, who seemed to be allies, and said with a smile, "How about I ask someone to ask?"
Jinyang, what did your mother like when she was born? I asked my wife to prepare a portion. Well, why do you need so much?
Then several people were eating. Third Sister You put down the tea cup, looked at the young man opposite with her beautiful eyes, and said with a sweet smile: "Uncle, my volume of Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties has been written to the end. When will you take a look at it?"
, Straightforward and right."
When Jia Heng heard this, he first glanced at Qin Keqing, who lowered his head and scooped out a bowl of egg custard with a spoon. He handed it to Qin Keqing gracefully, his face paused, and he stopped talking.
"I've reviewed Third Sister's book before, and it's pretty good." Seeing her husband looking at her first, Qin Keqing took the handkerchief and gently wiped her pink lips, with a faint glow on her beautiful hibiscus jade face.
Smiling and speaking softly.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, staring at Third Sister You, whose bright eyes were as bright as water, and said softly: "I've been busy these two days. I have to go to my father-in-law's house tomorrow. Let's wait for two days."
I'd better try my best to give myself a break today. Besides, I need to spend more time with Ke Qing at night. Didn't you see that you were already very angry with him before?
Under Qin Keqing's curved eyebrows, her watery eyes were filled with a hint of joy and satisfaction. She picked up a pair of chopsticks with leeks and eggs, and said softly: "Husband, try this."
"Well, this is delicious." Jia Heng said softly, thanked him, and lowered his head to eat the food.
Third Sister You's cheeks were slightly red, she lowered her head and ate the food, saying nothing else.
Even though he has a fierce temperament, speaking such proactive words in front of a group of "card players" will inevitably leave him feeling a little shy.
Listening to the conversation between the three people, Baochai Shuilan saw a trace of suspicion in her apricot eyes. With the exquisite clarity of a girl, she vaguely felt that there was something else going on, but she couldn't figure it out after careful consideration.
Everyone present, except Qin Keqing, knew the details, but Baochai and Second Sister You didn't know what kind of riddle they were playing.
