Chapter 855 Sister Feng: If she were the head wife
palace garden
Walking along the palace road, the high red walls on both sides were covered with snow, which was still covered with unmelted snow, and the cold wind blew across the faces of several people.
Princess Xianning looked at the young man and said softly: "Sir, I will buy a house on Ningrong Street in a few days. Sir, don't forget to come over."
Jia Heng said: "You can tell me when the time comes, but I think after the Chinese New Year, the empress may build a princess mansion for you and let you leave the palace to open a palace."
If a princess gets married, she will obviously have to build a princess palace and recruit staff. Then the prince-in-law usually lives in the princess palace.
The prince-in-law may not be obedient, but he himself is a minister.
Moreover, Xianning is so big that if it is a vassal king, such as King Liang, he will leave the palace and open a mansion next year.
The little princess said: "Cousin, I have nothing to do in the mansion. You can support the country by yourself."
Princess Xianning said softly: "You won't live together with me. Isn't this how we came here?"
Li Chanyue's cheeks were red with embarrassment, and she said in a trembling voice: "How can I be okay in Beijing..."
During this period, after Jia Heng changed ships, he basically played with the two of them, and sometimes slept together at night.
Jia Heng took the girl's bare hand and said warmly: "Xianning, you have to be more careful in Beijing so as not to affect your reputation. It's also a bit troublesome."
He remembered who Gao Zhongping, the son of Sichuan Governor Gao Zhongping, was. Well, he really forgot. He seemed to like Xianning?
Princess Xianning's clear eyes twinkled and she said with a chuckle: "Don't worry, sir, but it's good to live in my aunt's house. Sir, don't forget to come and look for me."
She suddenly had an idea, if she could have Chan Yue paint with her husband on the bed where her aunt usually rested...
The girl felt that she had been bullied many times in the south before, and she felt sulky in her heart. However, since Jinyang had just become pregnant, it was difficult to provoke her, so she had to make amends in her heart.
Jia Heng agreed, walked to the corner of the palace road, looked around for no one, paused, stared at Princess Xianning and the little princess, took one hand with the other, and said warmly: "Xianning, Chanyue, let's wait for two days to get better
Talk, I’ll go back first.”
Princess Xianning's eyes were lingering, and she said softly: "Sir, be careful along the way."
Being held by Jia Heng's hand outside the palace gate, Li Chanyue felt a little embarrassed. She glanced around and saw no one, and then she felt relieved. However, there were still rose red circles on her beautiful face, and she warned: "
Mr. Jia, please go slower on the road."
Jia Heng nodded, said no more, and then walked towards the palace gate.
…
…
Ningguo Mansion, in the hall of the back house
When Jia Heng left the palace to question Emperor Chongping alone after the banquet, the Ningguo Mansion was still quiet, and the discussions and noises in the West Mansion had not yet been fully transmitted.
However, Qin Keqing knew the news of Jia Heng's return to Beijing today, and originally wanted to welcome him. However, according to Xifu, there were many officials, and it was not appropriate for the female Juan to go to the ferry to welcome him, so Qin Keqing had to do it in the mansion.
During lunch, almost immediately after Jia Mu, she learned that Jia Heng had been granted the title of Marquis, and Qin Keqing also learned that Jia Heng had been granted the title of First-Class Marquis.
Suddenly, the entire Ningguo Mansion seemed to be plunged into a sea of joy.
Qin Keqing asked Aunt Cai to give some wedding money to the servants and maids in the mansion. Although there were no lights and decorations in the mansion, everyone was smiling and in high spirits.
The maids and nuns discussed with great interest the respect and rarity of Jia Heng's Marquis.
Jiao Da, the housekeeper in the front yard, seemed to be overjoyed to give him something. He introduced the marquis of the Han Dynasty to the young servants, and then mentioned his heroic appearance in his youth when he followed Ning Guo Gong to kill enemies.
Since the Ningguo Mansion, the only time in the past twenty years that the Ningguo Mansion has received a prestigious title such as a marquis title or made a great contribution was once.
In the backyard hall, in the afternoon, people in hairpin skirts and coats sat together, discussing in low voices while waiting for Jia Heng's return.
After hearing the news, Xichun, Xing Xiuyan and Yingchun also came and sat in the hall.
In addition, there is a girl with a Miaochang bun, dressed as neither a monk nor a Taoist. She holds a Buddhist bead in her hand and is gently playing with it, chanting sutras and praying for blessings. It is Miaoyu.
When he raised his eyes, there was a strong longing in the bright eyes under the willow eyebrows.
At this moment, Mammy said: "Madam, Grandma Feng from Xifu is here."
Upon hearing this, Qin Keqing quickly led Eryou to the door of the living room to greet him.
Before Sister Feng entered the hall, her laughter came first. Her charming laughter came to her like a lark, and she said, "Are my brothers and sisters in the house?"
With that said, he led several Yingying Yanyan into the house, accompanied by You Shi, Ping'er, two girls, Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi, as well as several nannies and maids.
A few people had lunch at Jia Mu's place earlier. Daiyu and Baochai, Xiangyun and Tanchun, and Li Wen and Li Qi went back to have a rest, wash off the dust from their travels, and have a good time because of the long boat ride.
Get some sleep and wait until night to celebrate.
Sister Feng was responsible for leading two guests from Jinling, Youshi, Zhen Lan, and Zhen Xi, who came all the way to Ningguo Mansion first, and also dropped by to join in the fun.
"Sister-in-law Feng." Qin Keqing looked at the splendid beauty with a smile on her face. He came closer and took Sister Feng's hand and said, "Why are you here?"
Sister Feng is wearing a peach red flowered jacket, a moon-white stand-up collared jacket, a bright red crepe ermine skirt, and an azure carved chinchilla screen. She has a face as gorgeous as a rose, and there is a smile in her willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes.
.
Sister Feng smiled and looked at Qin Keqing, who was graceful and beautiful, and thought to herself, "You are really lucky. You don't have to do anything in the house, you are just a first-class lady."
How much time does it take to calculate the full amount?
I thought she would be strong throughout her life and not weaker than others, so why...
Sister Feng had complicated thoughts, smiled and said, "This is not to congratulate Madam Hou and ask for some money and flowers."
Qin Keqing smiled and joked: "Sister-in-law Feng is joking again. I don't have such a reward here, but I can have a dinner."
Although the girl is less than 18 years old, the jokes between her sisters after they married have become more and more like a housewife.
Sister Feng smiled and joked: "Then I'll win it from you when I play mahjong."
When everyone saw this, they all talked and laughed.
But there was unspeakable envy deep in Youshi's eyes.
Qin Keqing also greeted Mrs. You on the side and asked, "Sister-in-law You, are you back?"
It's been almost a year since we said goodbye in Shenjing, and the two of them have not seen each other again, but Qing also misses this kind-hearted sister-in-law.
Youshi smiled and nodded, staring at the charming beauty, and said, "How are my brothers and sisters doing recently?"
Qin Keqing smiled brightly and said, "Okay, everything is fine at home. The second sister and the third sister often miss my sister-in-law."
At this time, Second Sister You and Third Sister You came forward, with their quiet and beautiful faces full of smiles, and they called out cordially: "Sister."
"Second sister, third sister." Youshi called one by one, took the hands of the two sisters, and looked at the pink-haired servant girl. Her face became more and more beautiful, and the two charming sisters had some unreasonable envy deep in their hearts.
, said softly: "Two sisters, is your mother still healthy at home?"
Sanjie You smiled and said, "Sister, everything is fine at home."
She thought to herself that the two sisters were young wives for Uncle Heng in the Ningguo Mansion. My mother was very happy and asked her and her sister to take good care of the uncle. Now that the uncle has been granted a first-class title, I am afraid that she will feel like she is floating when she walks.
Well, she also feels a little shaky when walking now.
This is just waiting for you, but how old is he? Although she doesn't care about this, the main thing is that he is such an unparalleled good husband...
When she thought about the young man's promise to live in her house, the girl couldn't restrain the joy and sweetness in her heart.
Everyone exchanged pleasantries and sat down.
At this time, Sister Feng took Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi's hands and introduced them: "These are the two girls from the Zhen family, the eldest is Lan'er and the younger is Xi'er. They came here together with Brother Heng.
."
Jia Heng had previously mentioned Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi in his letters on the road. Qin Keqing also knew the reason. Needless to say, Zhen Lan came to stay as a guest, and the little Zhen Xi. Jia Heng also described the old lady Zhen in detail.
The matter of entrusting an orphan.
Qin Keqing looked at the youngest Zhen Xi, and saw that her brows were shy, and she seemed to have a bit of the character of her sister Xiang Ling, but her quiet brows were a bit like Daiyu, and her thoughts were a bit complicated, and there was still a gentle smile on her hibiscus jade face.
He said, "Sister Xi'er, come here and let me take a look."
After all, she is her husband's future concubine, so she has to keep a check on her.
"Sister Qin." Zhen Xi's eyes were as spiritual as a stream, as moist as water, and she stared at the beauty as gorgeous as a peach and plum. She pursed her lips, gave a graceful bow, and walked closer.
Qin Keqing looked at the girl and saw that she was weak and shy. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile on his face: "Sister Xi'er will live in the house from now on and treat it as her own home. There is no need to be restrained. Your eldest sister still has
Second sister, when she was in Beijing, she often visited my house as a guest."
Zhen Xi's beautiful cheeks turned red with embarrassment, she responded gently and said thank you.
This Sister Qin seems to be a nice person, but the eldest sister and the second sister are visiting in Beijing. Could it be that at that time they often came to Brother Heng's house for... trysts?
Qin Keqing turned to look at Zhen Lan, his eyes scrutinizing the girl's melon-shaped face, and said softly: "You are Sister Lan, right? Your elder brother Heng also mentioned you in the letter."
This is equivalent to the sister-in-law who is a concubine found by her husband. In fact, she is also a concubine.
"Sister Qin." Zhen Lan responded softly and said in a delicate voice: "Brother Heng has often mentioned my sister before."
In fact, Zhen Lan should have called her sister-in-law. Of course, sister... couldn't seem to find anything wrong. Instead, she seemed more intimate from Qin Keqing's side.
Qin Keqing smiled and said, "My sister looks a bit like your eldest sister, Princess Chu."
In fact, Zhen Xi just now looked a bit like Princess Beijing's character. Judging from the temperament of her speech, she seemed to be somewhat similar. The elder sister was more shrewd and capable, while the younger sister was weak and dependent.
"When we were at home, my father and uncle said the same thing." Zhen Lan said with a chuckle, but there was a bit of coldness in her heart.
She would not be as ignorant as the eldest sister. She had done so many things for King Chu, but when something happened to the Zhen family, King Chu was nowhere to be seen!
In the end, she was divorced and humiliated, but that person stood up to help her get justice.
She wanted to go her own way and become that person's... virtuous wife and indispensable right-hand man, letting that person lead her to a prosperous life every step of the way!
The girl was thinking wildly when Qin Keqing pulled Zhen Xi's slender catkin and said softly: "Sister Lan'er, sister Xi'er, let me introduce you to some sisters in my house."
As he said that, he looked at Xichun, Yingchun, Xingxiuyan and Miaoyu on his right.
Qin Keqing looked at the eldest Xing Xiuyan with soft eyes and said, "This is your cousin Xiuyan."
Xing Xiuyan nodded, stood up from the embroidered pier, looked at the Lanxi sisters, her eyes were as kind and gentle as the clouds, and her voice was like a clear spring dinging in the winter. She said calmly and coldly: "Sister Lan'er, sister Xi'er."
Xing Xiuyan is indeed older, but comparatively speaking, Miaoyu is the oldest.
"Cousin Xiuyan." Zhen Xi looked at the girl between her brows and eyes, who seemed to be surrounded by hazy rain and mist in the ethereal bamboo forest. She felt a sense of closeness in her heart and called out in a waxy voice.
Zhen Lan also stared at Xing Xiuyan, her narrow phoenix eyes flashed, and her heart moved slightly, how could there be such a calm and reserved girl in Brother Heng's house.
Xing Xiuyan's temperament is indeed unforgettable. As Jia Heng said, he has a relaxed look and a forest atmosphere.
In particular, Xiuyan, who is proficient in Zen, is like Wang Wei's poems, lingering with a kind of tranquility and emptiness of the bright moon shining among the pines, and the clear spring stone, not the gentleness of Zhen Xue, Youshi and other good wives and mothers, but more...
Mostly it is a kind of Zen mixed with landscape and pastoral style.
A young literary girl with an indifferent temperament.
As a young literary girl, this girl who was deeply influenced by Miaoyu's Buddhism and Zen philosophy undoubtedly lacked Miaoyu's paranoia and eccentricity.
When Qin Keqing introduced Miaoyu, Zhen Lan's feeling was even more strange. The cold and somewhat distant look in her eyes gave Zhen Lan the first feeling of discomfort from the bottom of her heart.
In other words, Miaoyu's arrogance and paranoid, almost demonic temperament made the shrewd and talented Zhen Lan feel a little uncomfortable.
In fact, Jia Heng has known for a long time that Miaoyu, who has a temperament as beautiful as a orchid and a talent as fragrant as an immortal, is the kind of person that no one can look down upon. Not to mention Zhen Lan, even Chai Dai can only take a high look in her eyes.
As for You's twin sisters, they may be like summer insects that cannot speak of ice, and crickets that don't know spring and autumn. They are vulgar and vulgar powder with only beauty and no connotation.
Of course, if you knew about the strong actions of Second Sister You and Third Sister You in the original work, you would be moved.
Miaoyu held up a bracelet of Buddhist beads with one hand and said in a calm voice, "I have seen Miss Lan and Miss Xi."
Zhen Lan looked at the nun who looked like a red plum blooming alone on a snowy mountain. Her eyes were soft and beautiful. She suppressed the strangeness in her heart and said, "I have met Master Miaoyu."
Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes were filled with a smile, her rouged pink lips were slightly parted, and she said: "Master Miaoyu is a master of Buddhism and is highly respected by the old ladies in Xifu. When your elder brother Heng was here, he often asked her for advice.
."
When Zhen Lan heard this, her eyes flashed under her eyebrows and she said: "Disrespect, disrespect."
Is it her imagination? Why do you think Sister Qin's tone is a little... weird?
In fact, it’s really not Qin Keqing’s yin and yang jade, but an indescribable emotion.
Miaoyu pursed her lips, and a look of confusion appeared on her fair and jade-like face.
If she hadn't been obsessed with him and missed him so much, she wouldn't have come out to join in the fun.
He... will go find her.
Zhen Xi also bowed to Miaoyu now, and the feeling she had before became even stronger.
Brother Heng's house is really lively. Well, maybe this will also be her home in the future.
Qin Keqing introduced Yingchun on the side and said with a smile: "This is the second sister. You should be older than her. Just call me second sister."
Yingchun was a little dull, so she met the eyes of the two sisters Lanxi and called out: "Sister Lan, sister Xi'er."
Zhen Lan glanced at her, her eyes flashed, and she took Yingchun's hand closely, which made the latter feel a little embarrassed. She chuckled and said, "Second sister."
Most likely, he is a fool and does not pose a threat at all, and the Jia clan girls are actually helping him.
Now that he has decided to embark on a path to power, he must find out about the girls around Jia Heng.
Then came Xichun. Xichun looked like a arrogant little loli, staring at Zhen Xi's face and pursed her lips. Is this the new sister-in-law that Brother Heng has found?
For some reason, looking at that petite and tender face, which seemed not much older than her own, the girl felt a sense of annoyance in her heart.
She wouldn't call her sister-in-law anyway...
Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi also met Xichun and talked about their years.
Xichun's eyes lit up, she said her age, and then looked at Zhen Xi with shining eyes.
Zhen Xi's eyebrows are as lively as a stream, and the youthful version of Zhen Xue's gentleness is a bit girly. She said softly: "I am one year older than my fourth sister."
I heard Sister You say before that this is Brother Heng's clan sister in Ningguo Mansion. She loves this little girl the most, so she is considered his sister-in-law.
Zhen Lan chuckled and said, "It's really fate. The fourth sister has the word "xi" in her name, and sister Xichun also has the word "xi" in her name."
We have seen each other here. Qin Keqing led the two sisters Lan Xi to recognize You Er and You San.
Dayou has already recognized him before, so there is no need to say anything.
Zhen Lan just caught a glimpse of the beautiful, charming and enchanting You's twins next to Qin Keqing.
Second Sister You and Third Sister You have the kind of particularly eye-catching gorgeous looks. After being pampered in the Ningguo Mansion and dressed in all kinds of exquisite silks and gold and silver jewelry, their beauty and charm surpass those of their age.
A little girl who is still young and hasn't fully grown yet.
Only Qin Keqing's charm can overwhelm Second Sister You and Third Sister You.
Third Sister You stared at Zhen Lan and said with a smile: "Sister Lan'er."
The third eldest girl in the Zhen family, she has lively eyebrows and a mean, cold face. She looks a bit like her eldest sister, Princess Chu, so she is probably not a good person.
Zhen Lan looked at Third Sister You with bright eyes and said softly: "I have met Third Sister and Second Sister."
The You sisters in this house are said to be Sister Qin's right-hand men, and this Third Sister You has a very fierce temperament.
In fact, before the girl came, she had already gleaned some insinuations about the situation in Ningguo Mansion from the maids next to Xiangyun and Tanchun.
Zhen Xi also saw the two sisters close by and called them softly.
After some introductions, everyone seemed to know each other, but the twists and turns and scheming involved were unknown to people other than those involved.
After all, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes...
Sister Feng said with a smile: "It's been a lot of work, why hasn't Brother Heng come back yet?"
This is really a room full of Yingying Yanyan, not to mention other things, just the You sisters, I wonder if Brother Heng's body can handle it?
That is to say, Ke Qing tolerates them, if she is the head wife...
Sister Feng thought like this and suddenly sighed in her heart.
She is now a widowed woman, so there is no point in thinking about this.
At this moment, the grandma outside said happily: "Madam, the uncle is back."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the beauties with different thoughts in the hall suddenly changed, their hearts were filled with joy, they got up and followed the words.
