Outside the study, two familiar voices were heard, as if they were arguing. Jia Heng listened intently and walked towards the small hall outside.
"Is the uncle in there?" I saw a girl in a red dress walking in from the back of the screen. She had a beautiful face and lotus-rooted arms like snow. She moved her weak waist and walked into the study.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the beautiful girl with snow-like skin and asked, "Third sister? Why are you here?"
Sanjie You came at a leisurely pace, bringing up a gust of fragrant wind around her. She chuckled and said, "Uncle, Qingwen just lied to me and said that the uncle is not here, and the lights are clearly on in the room."
At this time, Qingwen entered the house. Liu Ye pursed her lips under her eyebrows and said unhappily: "Young Master is busy, so I don't want to disturb you. You have to come in."
Sanjie You smiled and joked: "When will I not be busy? No matter how busy I am, I won't delay coming back to take a shower."
After hearing the word "bath", Qingwen Guazi's face and cheeks were slightly red. She glanced at Sister You in shame and spat in her heart. "You want to take a bath, but the master won't let you wait."
He raised his eyes and whispered: "Sir, let me pour you a cup of tea. The two of them usually quarrel.
"I'm not disturbing you, sir." Sanjie You held the beauty fan in her hand and sat down in front of the stool opposite. Her beautiful eyes looked at the young man opposite.
Jia Heng said softly: "I'm quite busy now."
As he said that, he glanced at the blue-covered book that Sanjie You was holding in her other hand.
Third Sister You put it on the small table and asked: "This is the last part of the romance novel of the Sui and Tang Dynasties that I originally told based on my uncle's suggestion. It has been published as a book. Please correct me."
Jia Heng took the book, lowered his eyes, opened the pages, and started flipping through the pages. He raised his eyes and asked, "Have you written eighty chapters?"
Third Sister You chuckled lightly, looked at the stern-faced young man, and said softly: "When the uncle was not at home, I expanded my memories a lot."
Jia Heng did not comment, opened the page again, flipped through it for a while, looked at the girl opposite, and said in a low voice: "If I make it a hundred times, maybe the structure will be more complete, but I don't necessarily know."
Third Sister You: "."
She still wants to write a hundred chapters? Then it will take another month or two, that is, when she returns from Yangzhou? Oh my, why is the person in front of me so calm?
The girl's eyes were filled with waves, and her face was as beautiful as a jade tree, with a gloomy look on her face. The courage she had mustered up was gone again.
Jia Heng looked at the girl with skin as beautiful as snow, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "I've been busy these days. I'll look at the book you wrote later."
After coming back, I couldn't even take a vacation for myself. Third Sister You's eyes dimmed, and she pursed her lips lightly.
"I just said, you are so busy, you don't have time to read any novels." Qingwen curled her lips and brought over the poured tea cup.
Jia Heng frowned, glanced at Wen, and said, "Qingwen."
Qingwen snorted softly, then left the wing, came behind the screen, folded her arms and curled her lips, feeling unconvinced.
She obviously served the young master first, but now she let the third sister run ahead.
Jia Heng looked at Third Sister You, smiled, and said, "Qingwen is still a child, and she has been spoiled by me. She likes everyone, both older and younger."
Sanjie You looked at the young man opposite and said in a low voice: "I know that uncle thinks I am too aggressive and shameless, so he doesn't like me very much.
She comes from such an impure family, and now she comes to take such initiative. I'm afraid that in the eyes of the uncle, she is no different from that seductive prostitute, but she is still Yunying's unmarried virgin.
At the end of the sentence, he felt gloomy and his voice was choked up. Jia Heng put down the tea cup and said calmly: "Nonsense."
Sanjie You: What does "???" mean?
Jia Heng looked at Third Sister You. In the girl's stunned eyes, he gently took Third Sister You's hand and whispered: "I have lived in my house for such a long time. I know your character well. You really don't know."
You know, I won't let you stay in my house anymore."
In fact, it would be feasible to bring Sanjie You into the house, otherwise it would be impossible for her to live in the house
The status is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing. When returning from his father-in-law, Keqing also mentioned this matter tactfully, maybe he needed to give the girl some reassurance.
"Uncle Heng." Third Sister You looked steadily at the young man opposite.
Jia Heng looked at the surrounding study room decorations and whispered: "I think it was here back then. I remember, I told you not to feel sorry for yourself because of family affairs. As long as you are self-respecting and self-reliant, no one will look down on you. It's been so long."
Time has passed, does anyone in your family look down upon you?"
Being held by Jia Heng's hand, Sanjie You gently lowered her eyelids. The previous aggressiveness had long disappeared, and she swallowed back the words that lingered on her lips.
In fact, there are still some. One mother-in-law said privately that she and her sister stayed in Ningguo Mansion and waited to crawl into the uncle's bed, but the uncle didn't like them at all.
Jia Heng said softly: "In such a long time, you have read a lot of books, and the ones you wrote are Sui and Tang Dynasty dramas. Hong Fu girl was originally Yang Su's singer, so what? How could a hero like Li Jing ever become famous?
Fu Nu is of humble origin and is looked down upon?"
Most of the singers from princes and nobles have to accompany their guests.
Third Sister You raised her bright eyes and looked at the young man, her originally wet eyes filled with tears.
Jia Heng took out his handkerchief, wiped the girl's cheek, and said, "Okay, don't cry now, I have something else to ask you."
Of course, it is not a middle-aged man holding a girl to talk about life and ideals. He is actually waiting for the medicine to take effect. He has always been able to summon her to fight and win the battle.
Instead, we need to solve a prerequisite problem, Sanjie You’s knot, because there have rarely been too in-depth discussions before.
Seeing Jia Heng's solemn expression, Third Sister You stared intently and whispered, "Sir, please ask."
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, his face as calm as an abyss, and whispered: "You were the one who told Ke Qing about the matter between Sister Xue and me, right?"
When the girl heard this, her face turned as pale as paper, and she looked at the young man in shock, somewhat unbelievable.
Jia Heng stared at the girl closely and said in a deep voice: "Ke Qing didn't tell me this, it was me who had suspicions at the beginning and guessed that it might be you.
When Sanjie You heard this, she suddenly became panicked. She thought that old incident was in the past, so why was she mentioned again now?
Jia Heng asked: "At the beginning, did you want to see my joke? Or did you want to see Keqing's joke?"
Upon hearing this, Sanjie You felt as if she had been struck by thunder, her heart was shaken, and she hesitated and said: "I...I didn't, uncle, you misunderstood me. I saw my sister in the dark at the beginning, no,
I...” At the end of the sentence, he lowered his head and his body was trembling.
Jia Heng's voice was calm and indifferent, and asked: "Why didn't you tell me beforehand? Third Sister You was silent and did not answer.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "I can probably guess a thing or two about what you are thinking. It's just that you don't like Baochai, and then I'll see how Ke Qing will deal with it. If Ke Qing gets into trouble with me...
"
Hearing this, Third Sister You's delicate body trembled, her eyes filled with water and dew, she felt her heart twisting, and she said in a low voice: "It turns out that in your heart, I am one of those evil-hearted people who sows dissension."
.”
Even though my hand was being held by the young man across from me, I couldn't feel any warmth at this moment. Even though it was summer, my limbs were cold and there was a bone-chilling chill in my heart.
Jia Heng said softly: "You are not that kind of person in my heart, but your actions caused me to misunderstand you, and I also saw some bad signs."
As more and more people live in the house, it is impossible not to have any small thoughts. Even if you don’t have them now, you will have all kinds of small thoughts when you have children in the future. Life is not a fairy tale. You can live it from now on.
Live a happy life.
If you don’t want the Legend of Zhen Huan to be staged all day long in your back house, then you need... management.
In real real life, not only interpersonal relationships need to be managed, but families and marriages also need to be managed. The marriage of the poor is about killing the passion of love in trivial matters, while the marriage of the rich is about being mentally empty and seeking excitement after being fully satisfied with material things.
There is a kind of resentful woman who, when you are penniless, will say that you are not motivated, that you have a successful career, and that you will not accompany her. Of course, in essence, these people love themselves more than others, and they are always asking for it, and never want to repay it.
In addition to praying to meet a good woman who is content and happy, the only thing to do is to manage. Otherwise, even if you are an emperor, you will not be able to avoid competition for favor in the harem, and people's hearts will be troubled.
In terms of honor, isn't it honorable to be a concubine in the harem? In terms of love, your newly favored concubine will also bring glory to your relatives, and you will receive relatives and appointments, but this kind of dignity and happiness can only last for a while.
In the face of time, most people will soon get used to the improvement and transformation of status and material things, and want more, because people's hearts want to be higher even when they are high.
If you want it to last long, you need means to manage it.
"Uncle Heng, I..." Under that penetrating gaze, Sanjie You didn't dare to argue. She felt a sense of grievance, guilt, fear, and inexplicable traces in her heart.
The meaning of it really struck a chord. She had hidden a small thought deep in her heart. She was confused at first, but now that she has long since convinced Sister Qin, she has no thoughts at all.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and whispered: "No matter what you thought before, don't do this kind of thing again in the future. After you enter the house, you know what Ke Qing will do to you. As for Sister Xue, she has only one thought."
Linglong, do you think she didn’t know who she was afterward? She just didn’t want to worry about it anymore. It wouldn’t be interesting if there were scheming everywhere in the house.”
At this moment, just as Baochai said to Ying'er who didn't like Third Sister, the little thoughts of You Third Sister in the past have no trace in Jia Heng's heart.
Listening to the young man's unabashed words, Third Sister You looked pale and bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth, almost bleeding. She raised her eyes with red circles and choked up: "Uncle, what if I get up again?"
My thoughts have caused me to be struck by thunder and I will die badly!"
Jia Heng looked at the tearful Third Sister You. He was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand to take the jade hand, and said: "There is no need to swear. Although you have many thoughts, you still have a good heart. I won't talk about the past.
, but there won’t be a next time!”
Keqing's temperament has finally become softer. When managing various affairs in the house, he has to have someone with a fierce temperament to control the situation. And with the third sister on the side to help, manage the housework and punish the servants, Keqing can also prevent Mrs. Keqing from letting go.
Shocked, this is Sister Feng from his Ningguo Mansion.
Well, why did you mention Sister Feng?
Third Sister You's beautiful face was stunned. At this moment, her hand was grabbed by the young man. She felt that her cold heart was warmed up again. Listening to the warning words, she sobbed: "There will never be a next time again. This will happen again."
This time, I can only die to repay you."
Jia Heng looked at Sister You who looked determined, and remained silent for a moment. He reached out and pulled the girl, hugged her into his arms, and said, "Well, Keqing and I don't blame you. There is no need to seek death or survival."
It's not a big deal at first. It's a prank played by Ke Qing. It's a little girl's prank, or she can't stand Baochai coming from behind. In the original work, Daiyu also doesn't like Baochai at first, so there are all kinds of runs. As for thinking about it,
To shake Keqing's position, Baochai may not have been without daydreams at first.
This is the human heart, pure and unreserved, which cannot be achieved overnight. Sanjie You is actually quite okay. People who can die for love cannot have impure feelings.
Third Sister You's eyelashes filled with tears, and she choked with sobs: "Uncle, you are stabbing people's hearts with words like a knife, which makes people's hearts tremble. I might as well be dead."
Just now, she felt as if the sky had fallen, but the calm tone of the young man in front of her was like a cold wind blowing, making her feel that it would be better to wipe her neck and die, just use the emperor's sword, she
You must die to prove your innocence!
"If your heart feels cold, then I will warm you up." Jia Heng said warmly, reaching into the skirt of the thin skirt worn in the middle of summer and building a snowman.
Third Sister You: "."
There were tears in his eyes, and he didn't know why. Then his cheeks turned red like blood. This...
While she was in a daze, she saw the young man approaching. Third Sister You's heart skipped a beat, and she felt warmth coming over her. She quickly closed her eyes, and after a while, her two hands gently climbed up Jia Heng's shoulders.
For a moment, Jia Heng looked at Sister You's bloody face, suppressed the rich feeling in his palms, and said softly: "I will be busy outside in the future. You are smart. Please help me with the things in the house."
Help you, Sister Qin."
"Well, don't worry, uncle." Sanjie You responded in a low voice. She was already a little dizzy at the moment, but
It feels like being hit by a sudden joy, almost like being saved from a desperate situation, and it feels like a dream and a false feeling.
Jia Heng said softly: "I have one more thing that needs to be dealt with later, so I won't read with you today."
He doesn't like to be pushed too much, he likes to control his own progress.
Third Sister You's beautiful eyes were shining, her face was brightly red, and she said in a trembling voice: "Then I...I will listen to you."
Since this is already the case, there is no need to rush.
At this moment, Qingwen's angry voice came from outside, saying loudly: "Uncle, a person from outside who claims to be from Jinyi Mansion is here."
Jia Heng looked at Third Sister You and said, "Third Sister, please go back to your room first. I have something to do today and I have to meet the guests."
After going to the back kitchen earlier, he quietly sent his servant to notify Li Shu, a member of the Hundred Households in Jinyi who was guarding outside the Ningguo Mansion, and asked him to send someone to investigate the mother-in-law mentioned by Xiao's cook, as well as her related origins, and at the same time explain the preparations.
A complete outfit.
Seeing that Jia Heng was really busy, Sanjie You nodded and said, "Then I'll go and do some work, so I won't bother you."
Jia Heng nodded, looked deeply, and headed towards the front hall.
He was suspected of being a criminal, and that familiar figure on the back, like a mental illness, had helped him identify several criminals in his previous life.
In fact, even a vassal king cannot go out for a banquet. He has to worry about whether he will be sniped from a high place with a crossbow, the dishes are poisoned, and the egg yolk will turn black at all times.
Silver needle, used to test for poison.
Then, people must regard him as a psychopath.
Generally speaking, the situation always has an escalation process from relaxation to tension. It is unrealistic and difficult to achieve by frequently raising security to the highest alert state.
After Jiajing was almost strangled to death by two palace ladies, he moved to Xiyuan and began to carefully screen and sort out the entire palace attendant system.
If it weren't for Zhen Qing, he wouldn't have paid attention to the cook who had been in the house for half a year. Otherwise, he would have fallen into unlimited suspicion. Is the family's son reliable? The family's son would not be coerced, lured, poisoned or harmed? As long as he is suspicious, he
There is even suspicion that his engagement with Ke Qing was planned in advance.
Um?
No, it shouldn't be possible? This is the delusion of being persecuted. Jia Heng's eyes were focused deeply, smoothing out the strange ripples in his heart.
He still has to wait for the results of Jinyi Mansion, and the figure from behind is so familiar, where has he seen it before?
Woolen cloth?
This is the reason why it is always difficult to dispel doubts. This is a professional habit in my previous life. Once I have doubts, I will definitely find out the whole story, observe and examine, and will never give up until the truth is found.
Arriving at the study room in the front yard, Jia Heng looked at Li Shu and asked, "Where's the information?"
"Sir, I don't have much information. I checked the photo ID in the inn's registration book. Lu Yin, this Xiao Sanniang is indeed from Yangzhou. She was kicked out of the inn and entered Rongguo Mansion through the relationship with Mrs. Zhang of Rongguo Mansion.
We asked Mrs. Zhang, and she said that Chef Xiao was from Yangzhou and came to visit her relatives. When Mrs. Zhang saw that she was good at cooking, she went to the Xifu kitchen to do odd jobs. It happened that the Xifu cook was punished, so she became a cook." Jin Yi.
Li Shu, a member of a hundred households in the mansion, said in a low voice, observing the expression of the young man opposite.
Jia Heng frowned, his eyes flashed, and he whispered: "Her real name is Xiao Sanniang?" "The road guide says she is called Xiao Sanniang, and she may be the third in the family." Li Shugao
The voice said. Jia Heng looked gloomy, thinking about the reason.
Once you start to doubt, you feel that there are doubts everywhere. Is this Ma Sanniang who has infiltrated the evil sect of the evil tiger?
"These are all what she said to herself. She may not take them seriously. Yangzhou is thousands of miles away from here. How could a weak woman enter the house like this?" Jia Heng asked: "Is there any other information?"
This rhetoric is almost the same as what is said in the kitchen.
The problem is that if the evidence from the same source cannot be reinforced and it is all said by one person, how convincing can it be?
But now new evidence has appeared - the official document, the road guide, and the photo sticker, but these two things are not impossible to forge.
Seeing Jia Heng thinking hard and having doubts in his heart, Li Shu had a cold look in his eyes and whispered: "Captain
How about taking the person and interrogating him?"
Jia Heng waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't be too busy for now, just test it again."
It's not that bad now. If it were an internal spy sent by Dai Quan, it would be a bit embarrassing to send people in for torture like this.
Seeing this, Li Shu pondered for a moment and then said: "Captain, Liu Zhenfu said that Commander Qu sent intelligence about Bailian in Shandong, and there are also some clues from Taiyuan."
Jia Heng's eyes were deep and fixed on Li Shu, and his cold eyes were fixed so hard that his hair went numb. He was silent for a moment and whispered: "Actually, it's not impossible."
Li Shu frowned and asked again: "Captain, what?"
Jia Heng's face was as clear as water. He raised his eyes and glanced at the sky outside. He said in a low voice: "Nothing. Tomorrow I will go to Jinyi Mansion and the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to ask questions, and let Liu Jixian compile the relevant intelligence."
"Captain, this thing." Li Shu hesitated for a moment, feeling a little weird, but such an important military official did not dare to ask more questions.
"Put your things first, that's it." Jia Heng nodded, his eyes a little gloomy. Li Shu cupped his hands and said, "If you have nothing to say, sir, then I will resign." "Go ahead." Jia Heng waved his hand.
Sitting down again, doubts arose in my heart.
Is it the female assassin of the White Lotus who assassinated King Zhongshun? She had previously escaped under her own carriage, originally intending to capture him, but then she was worried that Ke Qing was in the carriage, so she pretended not to know, and now she lurked in the mansion.
