In the wing room where Daiyu lived, in the evening, twilight began to fall, and the rainy night was miserable. From time to time, rainwater collected on the eaves trickled down, making a ticking sound on the bluestone walls.
On the high table made of lacquered wood, a piece of red wax as thick as a thumb was lit, and the candle flame flickered, glowing like the clouds.
Daiyu felt lost, pursed her pink lips slightly, and walked lightly into the side room. Under her willow eyebrows, her bright Qiu Shui eyes were lost in thought, but she saw Zicuckoo walking towards her.
"Girl, what's wrong? You look unhappy?" Zicuckoo asked with concern.
Daiyu came to the embroidered couch, sat down, held a handkerchief in front of her with both hands, her gloomy brows and eyes were in trance, and she said softly: "It's nothing, it's just that Dad and Brother Heng are very busy.
It seems like I can’t be of much help.”
Even though it was to talk about things in a place like a brothel, there was something wrong with it. Also, since I came to Yangzhou, I could no longer spend time together and chat with each other day and night like I did on the boat.
Previously, Jia Heng and Dai Yu were on the same boat. It could be said that they spent twelve hours a day. Except for sleeping together, they spent most of the day together, playing chess and chatting. To some extent, some lovers
mean.
But now, as soon as he came back from the Yamen, Jia Heng started talking to Father Lin. In contrast, the sentimental girl naturally felt a little disappointed.
A slight smile appeared on Zicuckoo's face as red as an apple, and she said: "Girl, the uncle and the master are talking about official business. After we are busy here, it is also feasible to have some fun for a while."
Daiyu sighed softly, her starry eyes reflected the flickering candlelight, and said: "I don't like to play at all."
What he thinks now is always puzzling.
Talking about speculation with dad seems to confirm the words of admiration for dad at the beginning, so is all the previous care because of dad?
In fact, this is the stage where you worry about gains and losses, "Does he like me?"
Zijuan said: "Young lady is worrying too much."
Daiyu was about to speak when suddenly a conversation between Jia Heng and Xi Ren came from outside.
Seeing this, Daiyu's heart skipped a beat. She quickly picked up a book from the table and lowered her head to read.
Seeing this scene, Zicuckoo didn't say anything, but her eyes flickered, and she left the wing and headed outside.
Zijuan left the wing, looked at the young man who was having a brief conversation with Xiren, and called softly: "Uncle."
Jia Heng smiled, looked at Zicuckoo who was hesitant to speak, and asked curiously: "Zicuckoo, what's going on?"
Zicuckoo looked at the young man opposite, sighed softly in her heart, and said, "I have something at home that I want to trouble the uncle with. Is it convenient for the uncle now?"
Jia Heng nodded and said softly: "It's convenient, let's go to your room first."
Under the astonishing looks, the two people entered another room in the courtyard and sat down to talk again.
Zijuan looked at Jia Heng for a moment and said straight to the point: "Master, what do you think of the girl?"
Jia Heng was confused and said in surprise: "What do you think?"
Zijuan said softly: "Uncle is a great hero in the world. I am not secretive about some of my words. The girl has been going to bed very late in the past two nights and has not been able to eat well or sleep well. What does uncle think of our family?"
A girl’s?”
Since arriving in Yangzhou, it seems that Daiyu has also been affected by the hazy mist, rain, and falling pear blossoms in Yangzhou. She often stands under the book window, lost in thought, and suffers from insomnia at night.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said softly: "Zicjuan, but Sister Lin asked you to ask?"
"The girl doesn't know how to ask. I helped the girl ask. I couldn't bear to see our girl worried." Zijuan said softly.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Sister Lin, she is a good girl."
Zijuan: “???”
There was no good guy card at this time. Zijuan stared at the young man opposite and asked in surprise: "So what do you mean?"
Jia Heng smiled and said with relief: "Zicuckoo, okay, I understand. I'm going to see Sister Lin."
I thought about it day and night, tossing and turning, Daiyu was in trouble, but Zicuckoo saw it and felt anxious in her heart.
However, with Daiyu's temperament, it is indeed a bit torturous to fall in love with a married man now. Moreover, a young girl who has just begun to have a love affair will not be able to respond to her feelings for a while. She will either become more and more obsessed, or after the pain, her heart will be sealed with cement.
.
Zijuan looked at the smiling and silent young man, her white face turned red with embarrassment, and she said softly: "Master, don't say it was me who said that."
Her girl is as shy as anything, if she knew she would definitely say she was talkative.
"No." Jia Heng nodded, and then returned to the wing where Daiyu lived with Zijuan.
"Zicuckoo, I'll have a few words with Sister Lin alone."
After greeting Xue Yan who was arranging the dressing table, the two of them left the room. When they heard "Alone" say a few words, Daiyu's heart was slightly shaken. The hand holding the book paused slightly. For some reason, a feeling surged in her heart.
Feeling inexplicably ashamed.
After hesitating for a moment, he raised his moist, starry eyes full of autumn water, looked at the young man not far away, and whispered: "Brother Heng, wasn't he talking to daddy?"
"That's it, I just came to see Sister Lin." Jia Heng looked at Daiyu with warm eyes and asked with a smile: "Is Sister Lin bored at home?"
"No, the past two days have been good. I have a lot more free time." Daiyu said quickly, then picked up the book and said softly: "Brother Heng and dad are busy, don't worry about me.
, I just happen to read more books."
Jia Heng: "..."
Daiyu should be one of those clingy people. Letting him hang around Daiyu all day long to make her happy would definitely not work in the long run. But if he didn't respond and didn't give any results, he was afraid it would not end well.
In fact, he found that he still liked wives like Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue, mainly because they were not clingy and entered into the body but not into life.
Daiyu turned to pick up the book and looked at the orange light on the high table as if she was reading attentively. The light flickered on her smooth and jade face, and the earrings under her earlobes shone brightly.
The girl with the head of the Twelve Hairpins has shown an unrivaled appearance.
Jia Heng came closer and sat down on the embroidered couch. Daiyu was startled, and when she reached her heart under the jade skirt, her heartbeat accelerated a little uncontrollably.
Looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw the young man's calm expression, which not only suppressed the feeling of strangeness in his heart.
Jia Heng looked at the girl who was holding a book and pretending to be concentrating on reading, and said warmly: "Sister, read less books at night, be careful not to hurt your eyes."
As he said this, he naturally took the book in Daiyu's hand.
Facing the girl's full gaze, Jia Heng whispered: "The situation in Yangzhou is complicated now. I originally wanted to take my sister around, but now I can't."
"Brother Heng is busy with important matters. It won't be too late when he's done. As he told me before." Daiyu pursed her pink lips, avoided her eyes, and said softly: "I've spent a lot of time with my father these past two days.
.”
Jia Heng said softly: "In two days, I plan to take a boat to Jinling and then go to Gusu to pay homage to my aunt."
Daiyu was slightly happy when she heard this, but then she remembered something and asked, "Brother Heng is in the Jiangbei camp preparing military equipment, so why should he go to Jinling?"
If she had to leave official duties because of her, it would appear that she was ignorant of the general situation.
Jia Heng said: "I originally went to Jinling for business, but I can stay here for a few days and take a walk around Jiming Temple, Phoenix Terrace, and Xuanwu Lake. Would my sister be willing to go with me?"
This move is not entirely to paralyze the salt merchants, but more of it is fishing, and Daiyu will not be used as bait.
Hearing this, Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, her starry eyes were crystal clear, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, it's better to put official duties first, don't do it because..."
Don't give up on business and ignore it just because of her.
Daiyu spoke softly, then suddenly said: "Yesterday, Brother Heng also said that things in Yangzhou are complicated and there are many dangers. Brother Heng and dad should deal with it together and don't be distracted by other things."
Jia Heng looked at Daiyu's pretty face, which was as beautiful as snow, and looked at it for a long time, but he saw a look of shyness on Daiyu's face as she turned away.
"This trip is originally a business trip, but it is quite dangerous. Someone may be looking for an opportunity to assassinate me."
When Daiyu heard "assassination", she was shocked. She raised her head, looked at Jia Heng worriedly, and asked: "Brother Heng, what is going on?"
After a moment of silence, the shrewd girl asked, "Does Brother Heng have any arrangements?"
Since he knew that someone was going to assassinate him, he still jumped in, thinking that he was inviting you into the urn.
Suddenly, a gentle and gentle voice came to Daiyu's ears, like jade flowing from a spring. Daiyu's heart skipped a beat and she said, "I plan to use myself as bait to catch those people with evil intentions."
This Duduo is also a Jurchen hero. If given the chance, he would also like to get rid of this person.
Daiyu pursed her lips and whispered: "Brother Heng, then I will go with you. In the eyes of those bad guys, maybe it is more trustworthy. Just now I told Sister Zijuan that I can't help Brother Heng.
……Um?"
No, this... why is he holding her hand?
The girl's delicate body trembled violently, almost like an electric shock. It was astonishing that her slender body had landed firmly on the young man's kind hand. Under her smoky eyebrows, like the clear water of Xiaoxiang Chushui, she stared at the young man,
Not sure why.
This...is this what she understands?
Jia Heng stared at the girl whose snow-skinned jade face was gradually turning as red as the clouds, and whispered: "Well, let's go there by boat."
"Brother Heng..." Daiyu turned her head with a green silk bun, lowered her beautiful eyebrows, her white and red cheeks were as bright as clouds, she said softly, and shook her jade hand away, but she didn't. Well, in fact, it turned out that
No effort either.
But, what exactly does this mean?
First of all, it is summer and her hands are not cold. Secondly, there is nothing abnormal about her body. Finally, it should not be for her to read palms.
Naturally, Jia Heng would not be frightened by this reserve and whispered: "Sister, actually I have something to ask you."
After he met Qi Kun later, he left Yangzhou and headed for Jinling.
Taking Daiyu along with him would give him a reason to divide his troops to take care of her. Then he could bring less of his entourage in Jinling, and the rest was to see if the man in the dark could calm down.
"What?" Daiyu said softly, "Hmm", and held Jia Heng's hand with her backhand. With her eyebrows lowered, she grabbed the sheet on the other side with one hand and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, what do you want to say to me?
."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, stared at the girl, and asked: "I saw the letter written by my sister that day, but I don't know what my sister meant."
When Daiyu heard this, she probably didn't expect that Jia Heng would reveal the matter all of a sudden. Her delicate body felt like it was struck by thunder, her beautiful cheeks suddenly turned red with shame, her pink lips twitched, and she murmured: "It turned out to be when I was at home.
I wrote, wasn’t Brother Heng in the Central Plains to quell the chaos? He was there for several months, and he was... very upset for a while."
She felt that she would never be able to hold her head up in front of the person in front of her in this life.
What does "I don't know" mean? Holding her hand and saying "I don't know" means what does it mean?
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "I think the date of signing is that time."
When did Daiyu's emotional bondage begin? Or that letter...
Of course, he was just looking for something to say casually when he asked this. He couldn't keep touching Daiyu's hand and not talking.
At that time, the bright candlelight illuminated the girl's beautiful, white face. Daiyu was so shy that she lowered her starry eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Where's Brother Heng? When you wrote that letter to me... it was considered...
What's the meaning?"
What do you mean by willows and smoke, with gloomy eyebrows and dim eyes? Is that what you should say to a distant cousin?
How could you write such a letter? Who did it first?
Therefore, what happened next cannot be regarded as a moth flying into the flame. He was the one who provoked her in the first place.
Of course, at this moment, the two of them were asking about the letter, which was actually more like confirming who liked whom first.
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "What does my sister think it means?"
It seemed that Jia Heng's laughter made Daiyu lose some of her shyness. A gleam flashed through her starry eyes, and she snorted softly. Her snowy face flushed as red as clouds, and her charming voice had some inexplicable meaning as she whispered: "
Sima Xiangru to Zhuo Wenjun."
Jia Heng: "..."
I caught a glimpse of the young man's astonished look. Under his smoky brows, his starry eyes shone, as if he had found a familiar way of getting along with each other. His curved eyelashes were slightly drooped with shyness, and his watery eyes looked absent-minded and trembling.
Said: "On the Flower Goddess Festival at the beginning of the year for my birthday, Brother Heng gave me a sheep talisman. What does it mean?"
Jia Heng said: "It was my sister's birthday that day, so I bought her a peace charm. I hope she will be safe and happy throughout her life. Nothing else is interesting."
He really didn't have any bad intentions at that time, and he didn't give the sheep talisman with the intention of looking after the lambs in the future.
At that time, I just had a good impression of Daiyu, but I couldn't tell her about it, otherwise Daiyu... would be really easy to get carried away. But now, she's starting to get a little excited.
In other words, a long time ago, he was particularly concerned about Daiyu out of his fondness for the characters in the original work, and had no other intentions. The original love letter was indeed a bit arrogant.
Maybe when I was writing a letter to Miaoyu, I was immersed in a certain provocative mood, which extended to the state when I was writing a letter to Daiyu.
Well, you can't tell Daiyu like this, it will hurt her.
In fact, in the era when Qingqing Zijin and Youyou were all provocative, the words were indeed fiery and straightforward, and Daiyu was a person who liked to think too much.
Of course, even now, there are ways to reverse it.
For example, it can be said that I have always regarded Sister Lin as my own sister, but this is often the beginning of tragedy.
After the two sides pulled and pulled for countless times, only one layer of window paper was left, and this layer of window paper was pierced by Jia Heng at the urging of Zicuckoo.
As for waiting for Daiyu to take the initiative to expose it, it is almost impossible. There is no other way except internal friction.
The key is that he is also worried that after getting too familiar with Lin Ruhai, he may be a little constrained.
Daiyu's jade face was slightly red, her heart was shy and happy, her starry eyes under her smoky eyebrows glanced at the young man, it was clear that there was still something unreal, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, why didn't you do it before?"
Since it was intentional, why did you remain cold and evil for a while, deliberately watching her make a fool of yourself, right?
Jia Heng whispered: "I don't know how to put it, but I heard that my sister was worried and couldn't sleep all night, and I was a little upset."
When Daiyu heard this, her heart skipped a beat, her eyes filled with water, she looked quietly at the young man opposite, and suddenly a bright light flashed across her heart, it was Zicuckoo.
Thinking deeply about it, my mood was complicated and inexplicable for a while.
Jia Heng said softly: "When we first met, I saw that my sister had a gloomy look on her face. She kept everything in mind, and she wrote those letters... If you have anything to say in the future, tell me."
Hearing Jia Heng mention the letter again, Daiyu felt a sense of embarrassment in her heart. She glanced at Jia Heng and said quietly: "It turns out that on the day we first met, Brother Heng..."
Was it so early? Did you have a plan for her for a long time? Did you have her in mind at that time?
Jia Heng: "???"
He really didn't have that intention at that time, but it doesn't matter now.
Daiyu glanced at the young man, then lowered her head, clutched her handkerchief, and thought, anyway, it was him who came first, not her.
"Sister Lin's sharp mouth is really unforgiving. Oh, it makes people..." Jia Heng sighed and said with emotion. Suddenly he remembered that these were Baochai's words and quickly stopped talking.
If Baochai talks to Daiyu one day and says it again, there will be hidden dangers.
When Daiyu heard this, she raised her head, frowned, glanced at the young man, and said in a charming voice: "What are you asking for? Uh~"
However, he saw the shadow approaching, and the young man had already come close to him, pursed his lips, and then his cherry-like sandalwood mouth was invaded, and soon a warm and soft breath filled his nostrils.
Under Daiyu's curved eyelashes, her clear starry eyes were covered with a hazy mist, and gradually closed, her petite and exquisite body stiffened for a moment, then softened, her shoulders trembled gently in Jia Heng's palm, and her heart was filled with excitement for a moment.
Don't know where to go.
After a while, Jia Heng seemed to have completely calmed down, with a pretty red cheek and a slight hint of jade. He gently held the girl's plain hand and whispered: "I can't talk to my sister, I can only...
This is a bad idea, who made my sister so sharp-tongued and eloquent?"
Unable to understand the feeling of intimacy with Daiyu just now, perhaps it was the complex of Daiyu from the Scarlet Pearl Immortal Grass in her previous life, and an unspeakable joy inevitably surged in my heart.
Daiyu said angrily: "You...you?"
Can you shut up if you can't say it?
But he didn't know what to say. He was still immersed in a sense of sweetness and a sense of loss. It was a strange feeling.
Jia Heng hugged the girl's petite body and looked at the angry face. A feeling of affection surged in his heart. He lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "I will never let down my sister's friendship for me in this life."
Daiyu's delicate body trembled slightly, and her face was as red as a blush. Listening to the sweet words, she just lowered her head gently and said no more, but she saw the young man approaching again somehow.
After a while, Jia Heng held Dai Yu's plain hand, her skin felt like cream, and whispered: "Sister, let's go to dinner together. Don't keep uncle waiting for a long time."
The response to Daiyu can also be regarded as a reward for the girl. It is the greatest experience in the past life. If you like it and get a response, it would be such a happy thing. He hates those who are trying to test, and they are just for the actors.
Just like in TV dramas, originally, it is the man who is responsible for controlling the progress of a relationship.
"Yes." Daiyu's face was dizzy, her eyebrows as beautiful as Dai were filled with joy, her clear eyes were soft and soft, she responded in a low voice, feeling that her heart was full of joy and sweetness.
"By the way, sister, we should get along normally on weekdays so as not to let others see the clues." Jia Heng said in a low voice.
In the original work, Daiyu feeds Baoyu wine during the festival, and Jia Mu later added a few more words.
It can be seen from this that Daiyu likes people and sometimes does not have the consciousness to avoid people. Of course, he does not let Daiyu secretly become an underground lover, but just avoids them a little.
Daiyu's face turned red with embarrassment and she whispered: "I...I listen to Brother Heng."
Jia Heng let go of Daiyu's plain hand and said softly: "Then let's go find my uncle."
The two of them left the wing one after another. Zicuckoo glanced at Daiyu, who had a shy expression on her eyebrows, and felt confident, saying, "Girl, I've been waiting for you for a while."
Going to the inner hall of the back house, Lin Ruhai waited for a while. Out of her trust in Jia Heng, she did not doubt that the young man in front of her had just treated her daughter frivolously. She looked at Daiyu, who had drooping eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, Ziyu
