Chapter 761 Jia Heng: My condolences to Brother Zhenlin
Ningguo Mansion
It was already Xu hour when Jia Heng returned to his house. The night was low and the lights were brightly lit. The lights in the study were bright. He looked surprised for a moment. When he entered the study, he saw a slim figure sitting behind a bookcase under the window.
"At dinner, Liu Jixian sent a flying pigeon to pass the message. The eldest princess will take a boat to go south in the next few days." Chen Xiao said without raising his head.
Jia Heng said "hmm", came to the desk, picked up the paper, and said softly: "It's time for Xianning and Chanyue to come over too."
Jinyang and Yuanchun, Xianning and Chanyue, as well as Xiangyun and Tanchun should come together.
At this moment, Jia Heng did not know that Baochai was also instigated by Ke Qing to go south to look for her husband.
Chen Xiao turned over a page and said with a faint expression, "It's great that Xian Ning is here. You happened to be thinking about her, and you were almost confused and mistaken for the wrong person."
I wonder how the person in the palace will feel when he finds out one day that his daughter is with the son of the deposed prince.
Jia Heng put down the paper and walked up to Chen Xiao. The girl also changed out of her flying fish clothes and put on a blue dress. She seemed to have just taken a bath. Her icy skin reflected the orange candlelight, and her softness and heroic spirit were intertwined.
, has a moving beauty, and as you get closer, there is a faint fragrance floating between your nose.
"Xiaoxiao, are you jealous?"
Chen Xiao clearly remembered the last time he told her that he missed Xianning in front of her. After all, two people with similar eyebrows did not want to become someone else's substitute. This was how to arouse the girl's emotional fluctuations.
Chen Xiao looked calmly at the young man opposite him, frowning and saying nothing.
Jia Heng said softly: "If Xianning is by my side, even if you are far away, I will look at her and think of you."
Chen Xiao: ""
The similarity between her and Xianning's eyebrows really makes you understand, but what the young man said may not be a lie.
Jia Heng said: "Okay, let's have a sip of tea." He poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
"What did An Nanhou say?" Chen Xiao put down the book in his hand, took the teacup, took a sip, and changed the subject.
Jia Heng picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "Marquis Ye knew that the situation was over, so he didn't do any more tricks. He was just trying to gain benefits for the old brothers and the Ye family. I didn't want to be too pushy."
It can be said that ever since he led the Jiangbei Daying Navy to the great victory at Haimen, the Jiangnan Daying has been completely unable to make any trouble.
Because he used his great victory to unite the hearts of the people in the Jiangbei camp. On the other hand, the Jiangnan camp was in a state of despair and was on the verge of death. How could it still dare to confront him, the Minister of Military and Aircraft?
Unless he uses thunderous means to purge old generals, there will be a risk of mutiny.
So Duduo gave him another opportunity. The last time was in Yangzhou. Duduo's assassination allowed him to quickly open up the situation.
Chen Xiao put down the tea cup and said: "Those veteran generals need to be properly arranged. Although you have strong troops, you don't have to worry about any recurrences, but try not to cause any trouble."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'm thinking the same way. We don't have much time left. The Jiangnan camp needs to be organized quickly and the navy can form combat strength as soon as possible."
The appearance of Duduo was actually a signal that the Jurchens were stepping up their southern invasion.
Chen Xiao said: "As long as you have an idea."
Although my cousin is a little arrogant, he is not ambiguous about business matters. Perhaps it is because he is young that he is obsessed with such romantic affairs.
As he spoke, Jia Heng came closer. The fragrance of the grass and trees after the girl's bath floated between his nose, and said: "Xiaoxiao, I was just talking about business with Marquis Anan and I didn't have enough to eat. Please help me make something to eat."
Chen Xiao glanced coldly at Jia Heng with her clear eyes under her beautiful eyebrows, her jade-like face was like frost, and she said coldly: "You are good at summoning people. I just took a bath, how can I cook for you?"
Jia Heng sighed: "Okay, I'll just find something to deal with."
"There are some snacks and bananas on the table. You eat some cushions first, and I'll give them to you later." Seeing that the young man was not very interested, Chen Xiao finally couldn't bear it, so he said softly, then got up and ran to the kitchen.
Jia Heng: ""
Below? Okay, Chen
Xiao definitely didn't mean it, it was just that he was dirty.
Jia Heng picked up the snacks on the table, stuffed them into his mouth, and looked through the military books left by Chen Xiao under the light of the light. As for the book on the side, there were beautiful small calligraphy written with a brush. The handwriting was clean and elegant. It was obvious that the girl was sitting and reading.
notes.
Jia Heng looked at the summary of the art of war carefully and felt a little emotional in his heart.
Xiaoxiao is worthy of being the daughter of the King of Zhou. She knows general strategy, and not to mention other things, she still has the qualifications to be a female general.
Jia Heng was watching attentively when he suddenly heard the sound of light footsteps. He followed the sound and saw a tall and bright girl in a green skirt.
Carrying a tray, he walked over, his bright and clean forehead covered with a thin layer of sweat.
Chen Xiao said softly: "The noodles are ready."
Jia Heng hurriedly approached and saw a bowl of Yangchun noodles in the porcelain bowl. In addition, there were chopped green onions, green vegetables, and a poached egg. He looked at the girl and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, there is also a poached egg here."
Chen Xiao must have been taking care of himself all these years, and then he gradually developed such good cooking skills.
Chen Xiao glanced at the young man coldly and said, "I'll give you a supplement." Jia Heng took the noodle bowl and said, "The shape complements the shape?"
"Dirty bitch!" Chen Xiao's cheeks were slightly red and he placed the noodle bowl on the small table. Is this person not afraid of giving it to him if he asked the demon concubine to give it to him?
Jia Heng put down the bowl, took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, looked at the girl, and whispered: "Xiaoxiao, don't move."
Chen Xiao was surprised for a moment, but saw the young man coming closer, holding a handkerchief on his forehead and wiping the sweat on his face. There was a serious look on his face. The girl's eyes flashed with panic, and she took the handkerchief.
He said, "I can do it myself. You can eat the noodles. They will cool down later."
"Yeah." Jia Heng didn't force it and handed the handkerchief to Chen Xiao. All the routines and techniques returned to their essence, which was actually a return to their original nature and sincerity.
Chen Xiao took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his cheeks and temples. He looked at the young man who was holding chopsticks and eating noodles. He pursed his pink lips and looked a little lost in his clear eyes.
Jia Heng picked up the bamboo chopsticks and ate the noodles, raised his eyes and asked, "What are you looking at in the military book?"
After hearing this, Chen Xiao walked behind the desk, sat down on the Imperial Master's chair, continued to take the military book and read it, lowered his head, and whispered: "I am bored in my free time, so read through it to relieve my boredom."
Jia Heng said casually, without saying anything else, and said: "Your craftsmanship here is pretty good."
Chen Xiao's craftsmanship is really good. Not only can she make Huaiyang dishes, but her noodles are also flexible and elastic. She is a girl who lives her life.
It is hard to imagine that this was the only daughter of King Zhou. Perhaps it was because she was an only daughter that she was raised as a boy and developed such a strong and independent character.
Jia Heng put down his chopsticks, took two sips of noodle soup, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the noodle soup from the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "You will always be discovered by the palace if you are by my side."
Chen Xiao frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean?"
"When the palace finds out, they will inevitably let you into the palace to talk about old feelings." Jia Heng put down his chopsticks and said softly.
Chen Xiao's eyes flashed, he picked up the brush and dipped it in ink on the inkstone, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that reckless."
Jia Heng said: "You were not reckless when you assassinated Da Ci'en Temple? I was worried that you would be unable to control yourself and do something stupid."
Chen Xiao's expression was silent for a moment, he looked at Jia Heng and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid."
It’s not like she didn’t understand the principle of being impatient and ruining a big plan. Besides, she didn’t want to assassinate the man, but to make him admit his mistake!
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Chen Xiao who was taking notes, and said, "Just be sensible."
If Chen Xiao didn't take the initiative to tell him now, it would be hard for him to ask about the White Lotus Sect again. This was the trust that the two of them had built up through life and death over such a long period of time.
"Don't look too long in the study. Take a rest early and I'll go see Sister Lin." Jia Heng said softly.
Chen Xiao: ""
Her bowl of noodles was in vain, but luckily, he and Miss Lin were just having ordinary children's play, it was nothing.
Jia Heng
Here I left the study and went to the courtyard where Daiyu lived, not to shepherd the sheep, but to see what Daiyu was doing at the moment.
When I came to the courtyard, I saw that the lights were still on in Daiyu's wing.
At this moment, Daiyu was sitting in the inner compartment, with the light on, clearly doing needlework in her hands. Under the light, her pretty palm-sized face showed concentration.
After tailoring the clothes, the aunt at home selected the pattern and silk fabric according to Daiyu's requirements, and cut some shapes. Daiyu helped Jia Heng make the clothes.
Zicuckoo took the tea cup and said with worry on her face, "Girl, I just said that you won't be allowed to do needlework at night."
"Okay, it's just a simple embroidery." As Daiyu spoke, she gently stretched her arms, her starry eyes showing seriousness.
At this moment, I heard the conversation between Jia Heng and Xi Ren outside.
While he was talking, the beaded curtain shook, and suddenly a young man in brocade robes came in from the outside. His face was like a crown of jade, and his brows were sharp.
"Brother Heng." Daiyu quickly put down her clothes and stood up Yingying. Her petite and exquisite figure was projected on the screen, and the look of surprise appeared on her pretty face.
Jia Heng looked at the sewn autumn clothes in Daiyu's hand, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Sister Lin, why are you still sewing clothes so late?"
While talking, I went over and sat next to the Daiyu Kang.
Daiyu's jade face was slightly red, her starry eyes twinkling with a hint of shyness, and she said softly: "It's okay to sew for a while first. I thought if I sewed it earlier, Brother Heng can do it too."
I should have worn it earlier."
This was the first time she had made clothes for him, and it had a different meaning to her.
Jia Heng took Daiyu's little hand, held it in his hand, looked at her beautiful face, and whispered: "Sister, you just sew during the day, and it won't be good if you burn out your eyes at night."
"Well, then I'll listen to Brother Heng." Daiyu responded softly, then handed the clothes in her hand to Zijuan, leaned her head against Jia Heng's arms, and said softly: "Brother Heng, Annan
What did Hou say?"
Jia Heng gently stroked Daiyu's slender shoulder, feeling a little strange in his heart. Daiyu was gradually getting into the drama, equating herself with his wife and almost calling her husband.
In other words, those intimate actions between him and Daiyu were actions that could only be done between husband and wife, and Daiyu was very affectionate.
"I didn't say anything, but Marquis Annan cooperated. Things should go much smoother at Jiangnan Camp." Jia Heng gently sniffed Daiyu's hair and said warmly.
Daiyu's starry eyes sparkled and she asked softly: "Where is the salt business over there in Yangzhou? Brother Heng and dad are not busy with this matter."
Jia Heng said: "After the Jiangnan camp is on the right track, there will be nothing more to do with the salt affairs. Let's go to Suzhou in a while."
This is what I promised Daiyu, to go to Suzhou to pay homage to Daiyu's mother, um, and Miaoyu.
After that, if everything goes well, we will go south to Haojing, Guangdong Province to see the artillery, and then introduce the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps.
Daiyu said softly: "It hasn't been long since I came to Jiangnan. I didn't expect so many things to happen. Brother Heng also experienced several battles and won a battle."
Jia Heng grabbed Dai Yu's shoulder, looked at the girl with willowy eyebrows and starry eyes, and said softly: "But this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, I am not happy with those things, but I am happy that my sister falls in love with her."
When Daiyu heard this, she felt ashamed and happy at the same time. Her starry eyes flashed and she said softly: "Brother Heng, um~~"
As Jia Heng said this, he came close to Daiyu's cheek and captured the girl's lips, making them intimate.
Well, Daiyu, please check for his portion of honey today.
After a while, Daiyu's beautiful cheeks turned red and her slightly moist starry eyes showed shy joy. She gently grabbed Jia Heng's hand that was shepherding the sheep and said softly: "Brother Heng, big brother.
When will sister come over?"
Jia Heng gently hugged Daiyu, tended the lamb, and said warmly: "Well, it will take at least a month to take a boat on the road."
In fact, he is not really greedy for Daiyu's body, he is just worried that Jiangzhuxian
Zi is the smallest snowman he has ever built so far. It is similar to Qingwen’s last year, so he wants to help her
growing up.
Dai Yuxue's cheeks were slightly red, and she said softly: "It's time for Third Sister and Sister Yun to come over."
Sister Zijuan hinted that she couldn't be too spoiled to Brother Heng, but every time she saw Brother Heng being so obsessed with her, she couldn't bear to blame him.
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "It would be interesting if Xiangyun came here."
Daiyu's eyes were filled with memories, and she said: "Brother Heng still remembers last year, when we went to Qingxu to watch the incense falling. At that time, the third sister, Xiangyun, and I followed Brother Heng to the temple and climbed up to the pavilion.
Looking up."
Jia Heng said softly: "Well, remember, my sister was thin and weak at that time, but she is much better now. These days, she has been hot and cold day and night, so she was careful not to catch cold at night."
Daiyu gently stroked Jia Heng's shoulder, her delicate body trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng."
Looking at the young man who was leaning in front of him and busy on the little sheep's nose as he talked, he closed his starry eyes slightly, not knowing what to say.
Jia Heng and Daiyu stayed together for a while, then asked Daiyu to rest early, returned to the room, and called Yuanyang up.
Nothing more to say all night.
The next day, early in the morning, the sky was still dark and unclear, but the rain stopped and the wind stopped, and the rainwater on the green eaves and green tiles accumulated like a mirror, reflecting the dim sky.
Jia Heng had just put on his Feiyu uniform and planned to go to Jiangnan Camp to supervise the army to ask questions. Suddenly, grandma came from outside and said, "Sir, someone from the Zhen family is waiting in the flower hall. They say that Mrs. Zhen is dead."
The Zhen family has a close relationship. Compared with other relatives, they all send servants to report news. This time Zhen Lin from the Zhen family came to Ningguo Mansion to inform Jia Heng, the patriarch, about the death of Mrs. Zhen.
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression changed slightly and he asked, "When did it disappear?"
"In the early hours of the morning, the maid asked me to wash up and said that someone had passed by. Now I invited several doctors to check, and they all said that the person was gone. Now the Zhen family is crying and starting to prepare for the funeral."
He said with emotion.
Jia Heng exchanged glances with Chen Xiao who was beside him, and told his grandma: "Get ready at home, I'll go and pay homage."
Once Mrs. Zhen passes away, the downhill road of the Zhen family is probably right in front of her. However, when Mrs. Zhen passes away, officials from the entire Liangjiang officialdom will go to pay their respects. In front of the gate of the Zhen family, there are cars and horses like dragons, which can be called a prosperous age, just like in the original novel Red Mansions.
But Qing, this is hard to say.
Chen Xiao said softly: "Mr. Zhen's entrustment yesterday can be regarded as her last wish."
Jia Heng nodded, his eyes flashed, and his mind kept thinking. Zhen Xi entrusted it to him, and it was even harder to refuse.
At this time, Daiyu heard the commotion, and accompanied by Yuanyang, Xiren, and Zicuckoo came to the flower hall. Listening to the nanny's words, the girl's pretty face also showed surprise.
Mrs. Zhen is gone? Last time I saw her, she was still full of energy and in good spirits.
"Brother Heng." Daiyu slowly walked up to Jia Heng.
Jia Heng's eyes were warm and he warned: "Sister Lin, don't go there. The Zhen family has just grown old, so it's easier to fight.
Daiyu is still young after all, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't express condolences.
Daiyu's eyebrows showed determination, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, I was supposed to go."
In this Ningguo Jinling Mansion, she is the mistress of this Duke's Mansion, and she should go with him.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said, "Then sister, please clean up."
When you go to express condolences, you obviously cannot wear fancy clothes, and there are also various etiquettes that need to be paid attention to. Daiyu may not be aware of this.
While he was talking, he saw Youshi coming from the backyard, accompanied by Cai Die, Chaodou and other maids, to check what was going on.
"Sister-in-law You." Jia Heng looked at the beauty who was dressed in simple white clothes and had a white beaded flower hairpin on her bun, and called out.
"I heard that something happened in the front yard, so I came over to take a look." Youshi's soft and jade face had a calm expression. She just looked at Jia Heng with her soft and smooth eyes and asked, "Brother Heng, what's the matter?"
The beauty has not applied makeup, and the hint of sadness in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes makes people feel ripples in their hearts.
Jia Heng said softly: "The old lady of the Zhen family is gone. I said that I would go over with Sister Lin to express my condolences. You can help and entrust her with some important points of worship."
Youshi said softly: "Master, go ahead. I'll just tell Miss Lin."
Jia Heng nodded, and without saying another word, he and Chen Xiao came to the front hall.
Sure enough, she saw Zhen Lin, sitting on a pearwood chair. When she saw Jia Heng arriving, she looked sad, stood up and called out: "Uncle Yong Ning, the old lady is gone."
After all, Jia Heng just went to the Zhen family yesterday to visit Mrs. Zhen, and he is the head of the Jia clan. The Zhen family specially asked Zhen Lin to come over to inform him as a sign of solemnity.
Jia Heng sighed and said, "My condolences to Brother Zhenlin."
Zhen Lin's eyes were reddish, and she looked at the boy in the python suit opposite with complex eyes, and said in a sad tone: "The old lady didn't sleep until midnight last night, and she even wrote a letter to Brother Heng."
Jia Heng: "???"
After thinking for a moment, he realized that this Mrs. Zhen was clearly continuing the moral kidnapping to the end.
He felt that Mrs. Zhen must have written a memorial to the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor. Needless to say, it must have been written long ago, with careful consideration of every word and sincerity.
It can be said that Mrs. Zhen worked her last drop of hard work for the Zhen family.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Brother Zhenlin, please wait a moment. I will go to the house to check on you later."
In the past few days, I have to comfort Mopan and Xueer. The two of them actually grew up together with Mrs. Zhen, and their relationship is not shallow.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Brother Zhenlin, please wait a moment. I will go to the house to check on you later."
In the past few days, I have to comfort Mopan and Xueer. The two of them actually grew up together with Mrs. Zhen, and their relationship is not shallow.
Zhen Lin said: "The letter is still in the hands of the uncle and the princess." After saying this, she said goodbye and left.
Jia Hengxiang saw Zhen Lin off and stood under the eaves of the corridor. At this time, the fragrance beside him came and said: "Mr. Zhen actually hugged me back then. She also hugged my father when he was a child. With the Tian family
The relationship is very close."
Jia Heng turned to look at Chen Xiao and said, "I went to Fuxuan Hall that day, but you didn't go there."
In fact, he also wanted to hug Chen Xiao one day.
"That day, the old lady focused on you but didn't recognize you. Later, I was worried and suspicious, so I didn't go there." Chen Xiao said softly.
Jia Heng said: "Then later, you can go and have a look together."
Chen Xiao nodded and said softly: "If the Zhen family goes over now, the palace may not make any noise for the time being, but it is only a matter of time.
