Jia Heng and Wang Shuirong of Beijing made an appointment to meet, that is, the day after tomorrow, they would return to the backyard of Ningguo Mansion under the protection of a group of Jinyi Mansion guards.
At this time, it was already half noon, and Jia Heng sat down in the study.
Chen Xiao frowned and reminded: "This King of Beijing has bad intentions."
As a girl who accompanied Jia Heng to Chongming Sand these days, she naturally discovered some clues through observation in the past few days.
The King of Beijing had sharp eyes, and he didn't take a second look at Chen Xiao because of his beautiful features, because he could tell at a glance that Chen Xiao was not a man. Although he felt slightly familiar, he didn't take a closer look.
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said, "Did you see it?"
Xiaoxiao focused on him most of the time, so she was naturally aware of some of King Beijing's weird behaviors.
A blush appeared on Chen Xiao's snowy cheeks, and she said softly: "Shui Rong can be considered a queen from a famous family. When my father was still a good friend of the old King Beijing, I didn't expect him to be so unimproved. No wonder Zhen Xue
…”
Zhen Xue, the demon concubine of the Zhen family, looks weak and weak, but in fact she is also a long-lived person.
Jia Heng said: "This is because he has been raised in a high-walled compound for a long time, loves masculinity, and insults the lintel. This happened in Rong Mansion before."
Chen Xiao glanced at the young man, with a somewhat different meaning in his eyes, and said, "That's not the case with you."
Jia Heng: "..."
He took Chen Xiao's hand, sat in his arms under the girl's shy and angry eyes, and whispered: "Xiao Xiao is more fragrant."
"Don't be ridiculous." Chen Xiao frowned slightly, held down Jia Heng's restless hand, and said in a clear voice: "This is the list of warriors selected from the Jiangnan camp and the palace guards in the past two days. For female guards, also
I have already sent people to buy them from Renyazi in Yangzhou. Some of them still need to be selected by me personally, and some girls may not have the talent to practice martial arts."
Jia Heng nodded, held Chen Xiao's hand, and the girl's hand was like a delicate whisper, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, you have worked hard during this time."

Chen Xiao gently broke away from Jia Heng's restless hand and said coldly: "You'd better restrain yourself after returning to Beijing. Don't mess around with other girls and young wives. Not everyone is a witch of the Zhen family.
, some are not easy to mess with."
Hearing this, Jia Heng said softly: "You look at me like this? I have never taken the initiative to provoke anyone."
Ever since he said that he would give his child to the King of Zhou as his heir, it was obvious that Xiaoxiao's attitude towards him had become a little closer, as if he regarded himself as the royal palace.
However, neither Keqing nor Jinyang cared about his affairs with other women.
Chen Xiao's face was as clear as frost, and he said in a quiet voice: "You are not taboo about meat and vegetables now, and you provoke everyone."
If she says she never did, does that mean he took the initiative to provoke her?
"The Zhen sisters have another secret. I remember telling you that I was plotted by Zhen Qing, and it was not my intention." Jia Heng said.
All his subsequent actions were to fill the hole Zhen Qing dug for him.
Chen Xiao's eyes were cold and he said: "What's going on behind the scenes? If you don't know the importance of it, it will only ruin you. Now that you have heirs, once it gets spread, have you thought about the consequences?"
When Jia Heng heard this, his face paused, he hugged Chen Xiao, gently piled the girl's snowman, and whispered: "When did you lose sight of me?"
Xiaoxiao also has good intentions. It is best for him not to touch married women like Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue, as they can easily cause trouble.
But so far, apart from Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue, he has never touched anyone else. If it was just oral sex... the fantasy of a man in this world would be a crime worthy of death.
Chen Xiaoyou said in a loud voice: "It's good that you know what's going on. I'm worried that you'll be obsessed with wine, sex, wealth, lose your true heart, and go astray."
Now, whether it's Xian Ning or someone else, at least it's not out of his original intention. He usually pays attention to his sense of propriety and doesn't take the initiative to do things like promiscuous wives and daughters.
Hearing this, Jia Heng also heard Chen Xiao's warning. He looked at the girl with a pure face and said softly: "Xiaoxiao is really my Sun Shangxiang."
I originally wanted to talk about Changsun Xianhou and Dafu, but after thinking about it, it still feels a bit taboo.
"What Sun Shangxiang?" Chen Xiaoqing's eyes flashed and he asked in surprise.
Jia Heng briefly recounted Liu Bei's trip to Jiangdong to marry Sun Shangxiang, and said with emotion: "A man's ambition should be like the Yangtze River flowing eastward to the sea. How can he linger on the gentle land? As Xiaoxiao said, go straight on the right path and don't lose your true nature in the desire for power.
Heart."
Chen Xiao's cheeks were red with embarrassment, and joy surged in his heart, and he whispered: "Are you comparing yourself to Liu Bei? How can Liu Bei be as lustful as you? I think you are Dong Zhuo, and Lu Fengxian is the one."
After saying that, she chuckled lightly. The girl's face was cold and she seldom smiled. At this moment, she looked like a clear snow, which made Jia Heng slightly stunned.
Chen Xiao caught the young man's fleeting obsession, his heart was pounding, but he couldn't help but bursts of joy filled his heart, and he turned away.
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "Xiaoxiao seems to have read my book Three Kingdoms a lot."
"I'm just flipping through it to pass the time when I'm bored. When will you finish writing the follow-up chapters?" Chen Xiao asked in a clear voice: "I saw the Battle of Guandu, and the results of the victory and defeat haven't been written yet. When will you finish writing the follow-up chapters?
superior?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "I have been too busy in the past year. It will probably take a long time to finish writing the Three Kingdoms. This time I will write the third part when I have nothing to do when I go back."
If we follow the first chapter of the fifteenth chapter, it is now the battle of Guandu, the thirty-third chapter of the second chapter.
Chen Xiao looked at the young man's somewhat tired face, his heart moved slightly, and he said seriously: "I think you are a bit like Liu Bei, a clan member of the Han Dynasty. Although you are a mat weaver and shoe seller, you have a sense of injustice.
"
She had recently learned a lot about his deeds in Liutiao Alley, and she was confused as to how he had managed to get here all these years.
Jia Heng asked with a smile: "Why not Sun Ce?"
He started off as Liu Bei, who came from a humble background. He only had a title from the Ningguo lineage, which of course laid the foundation for him to gain the favor of the emperor to some extent.
And next is Sun Ce, then Cao Mengde, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi...
Well, I haven’t written the follow-up episode yet, so I can’t spoil it yet.
"Although Sun Ce led the troops to pacify the six counties in Jiangdong, he took advantage of his ancestors. You are broke and you are here today only by fighting with swords and guns." Chen Xiao looked at the young man intently and said softly: "Besides,
Sun Ce’s fate is unknown, so it’s okay not to mention it.”
Jia Heng looked at the girl and said: "It can't be said that it was all due to my swords and shots. It also relied on Xiaoxiao's strength. If I were Sun Ce, then Xiaoxiao would be my Da Qiao. She is really a good wife and mother.
"
Chen Xiao: "..."
When the girl heard that she was called a good wife and mother, she felt ashamed and happy, but her beautiful face showed anger, and she said, "Then who is Xiao Qiao? Xianning?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the young man could no longer hold back and came closer, puckering his two pink and shiny lips, letting the cool mint linger between his mouth and teeth.
Chen Xiao's delicate body trembled slightly, as if she was holding an oil-paper umbrella and walking through the streets of Jinling in March with fireworks. It was raining at dusk, the sky was vast, and she didn't know her way back.
Until Jia Heng went straight to Sydney again to feast, the peach blossoms, as bright as fire, had already silently fallen all over Zhongshan.
Jia Heng got tired of Chen Xiao for a while, hugged Chen Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao."
From the beginning, I just wanted to borrow Xiaoxiao's power, and now I really start to like this girl.
Chen Xiao held up the skirt of his clothes and wiped the saliva on Xue Li with his cloth sleeve. His cold brows were full of shame and anger, Li Xin's cheeks were as red as blood, and his cold voice trembled and said: "You know how to fool around every day, so you can't
Get in shape for a while."
In the past, when I saw him acting like a child in the arms of the enchanting concubine of the Zhen family, I felt that if I were to change places, I would have to give him a hard punch. But when it happened to me, I found that the body was not even my own.
I couldn't resist but felt a little happy in my heart.
She, she must be sick.
Jia Heng said warmly: "It's hard to get close to you when I'm on business in the military camp these days. It's not because I miss you. When I get to the capital, I won't see you for a long time."
Chen Xiao sighed softly.
There was also a feeling of reluctance in my heart. During this period of time from Jinling to Guangdong, I don’t know how much I have experienced. The two of them are not only lovers but also friends who face the enemy side by side.
Jia Heng said: "Xiaoxiao, you should pay more attention when you stay in Jinling."
Chen Xiao said "Hmm", and suddenly there was something strange on his finger. It was a ring strung on his finger. He frowned and said, "Why are you wearing this on me? I don't usually wear this."
"Just take it off when you're not wearing it." Jia Heng said softly, whispering in the girl's ear, "I just want to trap you."
It’s just that I’ve heard similar love words too much and it’s hard to fall for them, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like these sweet words. It’s just that you’ll be numb if you stamp on them.
Chen Xiao pursed her lips, snorted coldly, and gently held her slender hand, but the joy in her heart could not be suppressed again.
Does he really think she doesn't know about his flirting methods?
The two cuddled for a while, and Jia Heng said softly: "Okay, I'm going to see Sister Lin and the others and talk to them about returning to Beijing."
Because I am about to return to Beijing, Chai Dai still has a lot of things to do.
Chen Xiao glanced at the young man, straightened his slightly messy clothes, and said quietly: "Go, I just want to be alone and read a book."
Sister Lin, who is accompanying him, be careful.
On the other side, at nearly noon, the winter sunlight shines through the plum trees with sparse branches and leaves, casting a swaying shadow of the wind on a windowed room with a lake. A cotton quilt is hung on the door to isolate the cold wind, which is a precious treasure.
The courtyard where Chai lives.
Inside the wing, it is as warm as spring, and the fragrance of flowers is pleasant. As far as the eye can see, there are hairpins, skirts and coats, birds and birds, and every smile is a youthful and beautiful atmosphere.
Baochai was sitting on the Kang table by the window, tying her knot with the maid Ying'er.
In Xiangyun and Baoqin, the girls gathered together and chatted and laughed quietly, while Daiyu, Tanchun, Zhenlan, and Zhenxi were playing chess not far away.
Next to the bookshelf under the east window, Li Wen and Li Qi were holding a book and flipping through it gently. The two girls were immersed in reading.
There was also a little loli Shui Xin sitting, holding Nona's hand. Under her childish slender eyebrows, a pair of bright and clear eyes looked at Nona.
Nona smiled and said, "What do you want me to do?"
These days, Nona also likes this lively and cute little girl.
Xinxin raised her pink face and asked curiously: "Why are Aunt Nona's eyes blue?"
Xiangyun chuckled and said, "I was born like this."
On the other side, Daiyu was playing Go with Zhen Xi, while Zhen Lan watched the game and supported her from time to time.
At this time, General Xiangyun came over and said with a chuckle: "Third sister, who is better at chess?"
Tan Chun said softly: "It's your sister Lin who is better at chess."
Daiyu held the chess pieces and placed them on the chess floor. The girl's face was as beautiful as jade and she smiled lightly and said, "My chess skills are much worse than those of my second sister."
Zhen Lan said softly: "I have often heard from Sister Yun that there is a sister in Rongguo Mansion in Beijing who is good at playing chess. Why haven't we seen her go south?"
Daiyu said softly: "Second sister doesn't want to travel far away. She is at home now."
During this time, Zhen Lan also became familiar with the gold hairpins in the Ningguo Mansion, and she usually talked and laughed with the gold hairpins of the Jia family without any violation.
Xiangyun said: "It would be great if we had a pair of mahjong, and we could play together."
Hearing this, Baochai put down the embroidery in her hands, gazed at Xiang Yun, who had no intention on Apple's face, with her slightly moist apricot eyes, and thought to herself, do you also want to play mahjong?
Just as everyone was talking, the maid Wen Xing's joyful voice came from the eaves outside the house, saying: "Miss Bao, the uncle is back."
It was Baochai's place now, so naturally he was the first to call Baochai.
Baochai's pear-white face was filled with joy. She put down the brand in her hand and said softly: "It's already noon now. I thought it was time for Brother Heng to come back."
Xiangyun looked pleased and said softly: "Brother Heng will go to Chongming Sand for two or three days."
Daiyu also put down the chess piece in her hand and looked at the sound, her starry eyes under her smoky eyebrows shining brightly.
All the thoughtful girls in the house have known for a long time that Chai and Dai have fallen in love with Jia Heng, so it is not surprising to see this.
While talking, Jia Heng walked to the backyard, faced a group of bright or soft eyes, lifted the curtain and entered the small hall.
"Brother Heng, are you back?" Baoqin's happy face naturally showed on her cheeks, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Jia Heng.
Jia Heng nodded, looked at the group of golden hairpins surrounded by plump and thin women, and asked, "Why are you all in Sister Xue's house today?"
As soon as the words came out, I felt that there was something wrong with them.
Doesn't this mean that Baochai's popularity is better here, and maybe someone is thinking wildly.
Under the green and smoky willow eyebrows of Daiyu, Wu Zhu was looking forward to it. She smiled softly and took over the conversation and said: "Sister Bao, it is warmer and more lively here. Baoqin is telling us the story of Zhenzhen Kingdom."
Baochai glanced at Daiyu, with something strange in his almond-shaped eyes, and said softly: "Brother Heng, did you just come back from Chongmingsha?"
"I accompanied Xinxin and her father to visit the Naval Academy. I'm quite tired after traveling and traveling these past few days." Jia Heng nodded, sat down, and gestured towards the little Lolita who was talking to Nona.
wave.
Shui Xin saw Tian Ran's smile on her pretty face, and she rushed over and said, "Godfather."
A bright smile appeared on her pink and jade-like face.
Jia Heng hugged the little Loli and said softly: "Xinxin, do you miss your daddy?"
"I don't want to." The little Loli shook her head like a rattle and said softly.
Jia Heng: "???"
When Xiangyun and Tanchun heard this, their faces looked a little strange, but after thinking about it, they probably thought that the little girl hadn't seen her father for a long time, so they said this.
Children are meant to kiss whomever they spend more time with, and they can't hide their worries.
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression froze slightly, he smiled and asked, "Why don't you think about it?"
Sometimes children are always like this, and their words that are too honest always make people feel a little embarrassed, but their words are unbridled and have no malice.
Shui Xin said softly: "Dad doesn't care about me and my mother, so he might as well be a godfather."
Baochai took the teacup handed over by Ying'er and took a sip. Hearing the words, he seemed to have been burned and quickly put it aside. His moist, almond-shaped eyes looked at the young man with suspicion.
Jia Heng gently pinched Shui Xin Fendudu's cheek, smiled and smoothed things over and said, "That's because your godfather often takes you to play. Your father is busy with official duties, so how can he have time to accompany you?"
This can be regarded as a side issue.
At this time, Tanchun asked: "Brother Heng, did those Portuguese craftsmen go back a few days ago?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "I'm going back. The ship that will set off in the past two days is almost ready. You guys have been packing up in the past few days and we will set off in the next few days."
After the matter with King Beijing is settled, he will set off back to Beijing.
Bao Qin asked: "Brother Heng, will daddy follow you back to Beijing?"
Jia Heng said: "Xue Shibo also returned to Beijing together, and by the way, he also transported some Nanyang goods to Shenjing."
I was quite busy during this period, so I didn't talk to Bao Qin much.
Bao Qin nodded, the little fat girl had a sweet smile on her face, and said happily: "Then we will celebrate the New Year in Shenjing this year. I don't know how the excitement of the New Year in Shenjing compares to Jinling?"
Xiangyun smiled and said, "Sister Qin, it's really busy. Last year, Brother Heng and I watched the fireworks in Huifang Garden, setting off lanterns and making wishes."
Mentioning old things, Tanchun, Baochai also had a bit of a smile on her face.
Li Wen and Li Qi also turned their eyes over and put down the books in their hands, with a look of fascination on their faces.
Everyone was talking, and it was already noon. Jia Heng accompanied a group of orioles to have lunch, and waited for everyone to drink tea after dinner.
Jia Heng returned to the courtyard where he lived to bathe and change clothes, wash off the dust from his body, and then went to Daiyu's courtyard to look for Daiyu.
In the wing——
Daiyu is sitting behind the bookcase. The girl is wearing a pink stand-collar tunic, a white pink and green embroidered bamboo leaf plum blossom collar gown, a white embroidered horse-face skirt, a lake blue printed shawl on her shoulders, and a white cross-collar tunic.
He was wearing clothes, holding a handkerchief in his hand, and looking at a book intently.
Zijuan said softly: "Girl, it's a little cold right now. You might as well go to bed, cover yourself with a quilt, and read a book."
Daiyu nodded and asked: "Sister Zijuan, have everything been packed?"
"Everything is packed." Zijuan said with a smile, and then helped Daiyu walk towards the inner compartment.
The attacker brought a cup of cheese tea and said, "Girl, tea."
Daiyu took the tea cup, took a sip, and said, "It's been a few months since I came to Jinling."
This time when she went south, she was alone before coming. When she returned, she made a lifelong commitment to Brother Heng.
Zijuan said: "Yes, I remember it was still summer when the girl came, and now it's winter."
While the master and servant were sighing, a conversation between Xue Yan and Jia Heng suddenly came from outside.
"Is Sister Lin in the house?" Jia Heng called.
When Daiyu heard this, she felt happy, stood up, and stared.
Not long after, a series of light footsteps came one after another, and the tall and tall young man entered the wing, opened the bead curtain, and entered the wing.
Looking at the petite and frail figure, Jia Heng asked: "Sister Lin, why didn't you take a nap?"
"I'm not sleepy right now. Besides, if you sleep after eating, it's easy to accumulate food." Daiyu Liu Meixing asked with joy in her eyes, "Brother Heng is done with his work."
Jia Heng nodded, stepped forward and took Daiyu's slender hand, looked at the petite girl, and whispered: "I'm done with my work. My sister's hands are a little cold. Why don't you wear more clothes?"
Daiyu's bright starry eyes seemed to blink, and she chuckled: "Sister Bao, it's warm over there, so I need to wear less clothes."
Jia Heng: "..."
He held the girl in his arms, gently held her petite face, and said, "My sister has a sharp mouth."
Saying that, he moved over and pursed his lips.
After a while, Dai Yuqian raised her eyebrows slightly, her starry eyes seemed to be hazy with mist, and her cheeks turned red with shame, and said: "Brother Heng, don't you have any official business today?"
"I have official duties every day, so I came here specifically to accompany my sister today." Jia Heng took Daiyu's bare hand, came to the bed, and said softly: "It's been getting colder these days. My sister is weaker, so she should wear more clothes.
Just some, don't catch a cold."
After saying that, he told Zijuan: "I usually buy more clothes for you girls. Ask Sister-in-law You if there are any mink fur cloaks in the warehouse."
Zijuan chuckled and responded, thinking, these two people are like honey mixed with oil, and they are becoming more and more like a couple.
Although Jia Heng and Dai Yu got along with each other, although they had some banter, they were all on point and there was never any quarrel.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that Jia Heng is always invisible, or that he can always capture Daiyu's potential emotional needs and provide them with timely satisfaction.
Jia Heng looked at Daiyu, who was as beautiful as a peach, and asked, "What is Sister Lin doing at home these two days?"
With that said, he put on Daiyu's embroidered shoes, frowned through his socks and said, "These feet are cold."
Put your legs under the skirt on the bed and cover them with the quilt.
Daiyu let the young man play with his movements gently, her heart was both shy and sweet. Her starry eyes looked lovingly at the young man's side face, and said softly: "I haven't done anything in the past two days. I usually do nothing."
Accompany Sister Yun and Third Sister to talk, play chess and so on."
As he spoke, he smiled and said: "Yesterday, my father came to Jinling and asked about the whereabouts of Brother Heng. He said that he wanted to discuss the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Department with Brother Heng. I told him that he went to Chongmingsha.
It will take two days to come back."
Daddy still doesn't know that she and Brother Heng have a private life-long secret relationship. If he knew, he would probably be prosecuted.
Jia Heng also got on the bed, sat up with Daiyu, holding the soft and slender hand with one hand, and hugging the girl's thin shoulder with the other, and said softly: "Father-in-law...Uncle, his salt business is booming, attracting attention from both the government and the public.
Now that we are done with eradicating the old disadvantages of the Salt Law, let's go back to Beijing first, and I will try to find a way to transfer my uncle to Beijing."
Daiyu leaned her head on Jia Heng's shoulder, pursed her pink lips, and said softly: "Brother Heng, after returning to Beijing, wait for another two years, my father and the old lady will definitely discuss my marriage, and Brother Heng... also
It’s better to prepare early in the morning.”
She was worried that the old lady would not look good if she told her father about her thoughts about Brother Bao.
Jia Heng said warmly: "I will take some time to tell my uncle about my sister and me."
Daiyu is also a little anxious now. In other words, after the girl is almost married to him, her mentality may have changed and she wants to establish her identity earlier?
Daiyu pursed her pink lips and said softly: "I know the difficulties Brother Heng is facing now. It's not a big deal. It's just that Daddy is aware of it, which can also reduce some troubles."
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression was startled, and he said softly: "Sister, are you worried that the old lady will mention Baoyu's marriage?"
Baoyu is indeed not too young. In fact, if the original story is followed, public opinion about the marriage between gold and jade has already aroused in the Ning and Rong mansions, and then the marriage between wood and stone followed closely.
There was a trace of sadness on Daiyu's smoky eyebrows, and she sighed softly and said: "Brother Heng, second brother Bao and I grew up together under the lap of the old lady when we were young. It is inevitable that the old lady has some thoughts."
After getting along with Jia Heng, the girl already knew about the love affair, and some of the original doubts gradually became clear, such as Jia's mother's expectations and Baoyu's past thoughts.
Girls originally matured earlier emotionally, but after being with Jia Heng, they made rapid progress in this aspect.
Jia Heng looked at the girl intently and said: "My sister is also thinking about me. I should talk to the old lady and my uncle. Some bad rumors will spread in the provincial government and my sister's reputation will be tarnished.
"
She thought to herself, did Daiyu take Baochai's script, or did she learn and grow from her opponent during this period?
Learn from the barbarians and learn skills in order to control the barbarians? Dai learning is the body, and Chai learning is the use?
Daiyu leaned her increasingly charming and beautiful cheek against Jia Heng's arms, held Jia Heng's hand tightly, and said softly: "Brother Heng, I mean the same thing."
"Then I'll find a chance to talk to my uncle later or send a message to the old lady." Jia Heng thought for a moment, smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll just serve my sister."
It's been a long time since I've been intimate with Daiyu, and I also miss the Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass.
When Daiyu heard this, her cheeks were as red as the red clouds, her heart was beating wildly, her delicate body was a little weak, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng."
"If my sister feels guilty, you can repay her kindness." Jia Heng quickly unfolded the map of Yan Kingdom and said it to Daiyu's ear.
