Chapter 867 Qin Keqing: She can only compromise and seek perfection.

 Shenjing, Ningguo Mansion

Red lanterns are hung under the eaves of the corridor, and the shadows of circles of red lights are waxing and waning on the smooth curved surfaces of the red lacquered beams and columns. The sound of the wind blowing through the roof tiles is either low or sharp, and the orange room in the east wing is leaning against the flower wall.

, one glance at it in the winter night, and it feels particularly warm.

After Aunt Xue left, Jia Heng and Baochai were the only two people left in the study. The tea soup was steaming hot in the tea cup, and no one spoke for the time being.

In the silence, the moist almond eyes under the curved eyelashes were already showing fear. Baochai broke the silence and said: "Brother Heng, I really had no choice but to reveal this matter to my mother yesterday."

Jia Heng said softly: "It's okay, I should have told my aunt. I originally wanted to take time out in the past two days to talk about it, so as to save my aunt from worrying about sister Xue's life-long events."

In fact, Baochai may not have done this intentionally, because more and more people came to the back house, from Zhenxi to Zhenlan.

You must know that at the beginning of the year, except Keqing, he had no one around him, and it was in that state that he and Baochai gradually fell in love. As a result, this summer, first with Princess Xianning, and then with Daiyu.

Especially the appearance of Daiyu must have sounded the alarm for Baochai. If he continued to sneak around, he would find that there was no place next to him.

As for Aunt Xue, who is full of fantasies, she always wanted to show some kindness to Baochai in front of Baochai. The girl has been with him for almost a year, and she let him unlock the door despite her daughter's restraint. How could he do it in person?

My mother's face was sullen.

How sad should Baochai be?

Jia Heng walked around the bar in front of him, took Baochai's soft and delicate hand, and hugged the girl with lowered eyebrows and anxious thoughts in his arms. Her plump and soft body was accompanied by an elegant cold scent.

The breath fills the sleeves and hits the nose.

The young man's soft voice sounded and said: "Sister Xue, it turns out that I should go find my aunt to talk about the two of us, but I let my sister bear so much pressure alone."

He felt pity for Baochai, which was the main reason why the girl was willing to have an underground love affair for so long.

Baochai's moist apricot eyes flashed under her curved eyebrows. She raised her plump face and said with a sore nose, "Brother Heng, no matter if it's five years or ten years, I'm willing to wait for Brother Heng."

She felt that she was almost invisible in his eyes, and it seemed that even the secret plans hidden deep in her heart were revealed.

Jia Heng held the soft and warm little chubby hand, looked at Baochai, looked into the tearful almond eyes, and said, "I won't let my sister wait too long."

Take some time recently to become a real couple with Baochai, otherwise Aunt Xue won't cause trouble again, especially with Mrs. Wang.

A royal daughter is stupid, but two royal daughters together are stupid and bad.

When Baochai was about to say something, he saw the young man leaning closer to his face, his warm breath blowing on his face like the warm wind in June, and the pear blossoms on his snowy cheeks suddenly blossomed into peach blossoms.

Baochai closed her apricot eyes slightly, only to feel some overflowing breath flowing between the wings of her nose. Her cheeks gradually became warmer, and foreign matter invaded her mouth. She quickly pressed the young man's hand gently.

After a while, the girl became slightly breathless, her apricot eyes sparkled, and her brows overflowed with shame and joy, "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng said: "Sister Xue, when the garden is repaired in the next few days, you can live in it, so that I can find you easily."

Baochai's apricot eyes were slightly moist, and she said "hmm" and said, "I listen to Brother Heng."

Jia Heng said: "The past two years have been crucial in the war against the captives. There will be many opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future."

Even if he wins another brilliant victory, he will only be granted the title of Duke at most. If he wins consecutively in the future, don't even think about granting him the title of County Prince in the short term. Even the Emperor will want to suppress him by then.

At that time, Xianning and Chanyue were given marriages, and the reason why they were given Baochai to marry them one after another made scholars all over the world hold their noses in recognition, and at the same time they lost their reputation among scholars.

Baochai quickly explained: "Brother Heng, I'm not in a hurry for this."

Jia Heng said: "Just talking to Sister Xue about this matter made Sister Xue aware that although this time it was a great achievement, the time is not yet ripe."

"Brother Heng, if you talk about this again, I will really find it difficult to deal with myself." Baochai said in a low voice with confusion between his beautiful eyebrows and a slightly moist look in his almond-shaped eyes.

Jia Heng gently stroked the girl's plump cheek and said, "I know my sister's heart."

Saying that, he held her in his arms, unbuttoned his honey-colored coat, and picked up the gold lock.

Baochai's cheeks were as red as a blush, and her beautiful eyebrows were full of shame and joy.

Jia Heng said: "My younger sister and my third younger sister will be in charge of the account books in the shop together. When the time comes, I will assign a few nuns to my younger sister so that my younger sister can be in charge. I will take my third younger sister with me mainly to worry about people gossiping."

Baochai said softly: "Well, actually the third sister is just fine. She has a capable temperament."

Brother Heng doesn't say anything about Gian'er.

Jia Heng smiled and whispered: "By the way, after we moved into the garden, all the girls and maids were there. My younger sister and third younger sister also helped take care of the personnel in the garden. I know that my younger sister is a capable person."

Yes, it’s a pity that I just like to hide my clumsiness.”

As he said this, he started a snowball fight and fiddled with the lock cylinder.

"No way." Baochai was teased by the boy, her delicate body trembled slightly, her plump cheeks were as red as rouge, and her voice was already trembling.

Brother Heng asked her to take care of the garden, and he knew what she could do.

Jia Heng and Baochai were tired for a while, and Qingwen's urging voice sounded outside: "Master, grandma asked me to go have dinner."

Jia Heng said: "Okay, let's go there."

At this moment, the brightly lit hall is full of orioles and swallows, the room is warm and fragrant, and the colorful jewelry shines together, dazzling the eyes.

In addition to Keqing, Wenqi, Yuntan, Lanxi and Sanyou were all present, but Aunt Xue was missing. She had obviously gone back to Lixiangyuan.

Qin Keqing looked at the two of them with beautiful eyes and a smile, and said softly: "Husband, it's just you and Sister Xue."

As time passed, the beauty's original panic about the unstable status of the head wife became more and more distant. Now she was just short of a child. Whether it was Sister Xue's background in the Huangshang family or Sister Lin's young age, it was still a problem.

.

It is the princesses and princesses of the Chen family who are the most threatening.

Recently I heard in history books that Wang Xizhi's son Wang Xianzhi was ordered to divorce his wife. If the palace really did such things, or put pressure on her father, for the sake of her husband, she... would have no choice but to compromise.

Jia Heng sat down, and Baochai beside him looked calm and a little shy, and sat down next to Baoqin.

Daiyu looked at the girl, then at Jia Heng, and clenched the handkerchief in her hand a little tighter.

It is impossible for a little girl of this age not to be a little bit jealous.

Baoqin's face was as white as snow and she said with hope: "Brother Heng, Sister-in-law Feng said the garden has been repaired. When can we go in and visit it?"

Jia Heng said: "Wait a few days and let your sister-in-law Feng decorate it inside. If you want to go in and play, ask sister-in-law Feng to take you in for a walk the day after tomorrow. We will move in after a few days."

In the past few days, we have actually started to purchase furniture and objects. Before next spring, we can let all the warblers move in this winter.

Ningguo Mansion is almost becoming a country of girls, and it’s really hard to live in it.

Xiangyun smiled and said: "I heard that there are many mountain stone pavilions inside, but I don't know how it compares to Aunt Jinyang's garden in Luoyang and Jinling?"

Mentioning the eldest princess of Jinyang, Qin Keqing's hand that was picking up the tea cup paused slightly, and her beautiful eyes rippled, Aunt Jinyang?

Jia Heng said softly: "You can't figure this out until you go in."

With that said, he handed a pair of bamboo crotches to Qin Keqing and said, "Keqing, it's time to eat."

Qin Keqing took Kuaizi and rolled his eyes at the young man. Her husband changed the subject again.

After dinner, everyone drank tea and talked.

Qin Keqing said: "Husband, Sister-in-law Feng said that we will invite the Taiwanese opera troupe to the Tianxiang Building in Huifang Garden tomorrow. The sisters will be more lively."

Jia Heng said: "You and Sister-in-law Feng can just take care of it."

Tanchun said: "Brother Heng, I'm going to the study to read first."

Tanchun had a temporary residence in the small courtyard of the study room in the east wing of Ning Mansion because he helped Jia Heng deal with official documents.

Jia Heng said: "Third sister, go ahead and I will go to the study to read some books later."

Xiangyun followed Baoqin back to Rongguo Mansion. Jia Mu liked two chubby girls with plump muscles and charming temperaments. Xiangyun lived in her courtyard, while Baoqin followed Baochai.

Visit Lixiangyuan.

Daiyu glanced at the young man in a straight green shirt, came to Qin Keqing, and said softly: "Sister Qin, I'm going back first."

Qin Keqing said softly: "It will get colder and colder later, and the dripping water will turn into ice. Sister Lin should go back and rest early."

At this time, Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi also held hands and stood up to say goodbye one after another.

Mrs. Cao also took her two daughters, Li Wen and Li Qi, back to Xifu and stayed in the courtyard where Li Wan lived.

There is a saying that winter is a bit cold. Even though the hall at the back of Ningguo Mansion is very warm, it is no longer suitable to play mahjong all the time. Besides, since Baoyu threw jade and Daiyu moved in the morning, everyone was a little tired.

As Xiangyun, Tanchun, Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi left, Qin Keqing, Youshi, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You were left in the hall.

Jia Heng said: "I will attend the morning court tomorrow. I will go back to the study to rest first, but you guys can play cards."

Qin Keqing rolled her eyes at Jia Heng and said, "Husband, please go and see Sister Lin too. She has just been here for a day and may not be familiar with everything."

Jia Heng was stunned for a moment and said softly: "Well, I'll go take a look right now."

In fact, he said it intentionally. He couldn't say it to Ke Qing, "I'm going to see Sister Lin."

With that said, he left the hall and headed to Daiyu's room.

After Jia Heng left, Qin Keqing looked at Third Sister You, who was watching Jia Heng leave, and said softly: "Third Sister, let's play cards first and then talk in two days. The uncle just came back and there are so many things.

"

The third sister has been watching eagerly for a long time, and there should be a result. She also needs to train a helper.

The two maids, Baozhu and Ruizhu, are not very good-looking, so the third sister and the second sister are the only two, with flowers as their intestines and snow as their skin, they are worthy of a fight.

Third Sister You smiled softly and said, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

Youshi said: "The donations from various village heads in Beijing have been distributed. Should we inform the leaders in Beijing?"

Qin Keqing said: "According to the usual practice in previous years, I will send some rice and noodles to the children in Shenjing. Those whose families are not doing well, I will talk to the uncle later and let him come forward to make it more appropriate."

In the original Dream of Red Mansions, Wu Jinxiao made an offering to the Jia family, and Jia Zhen called the children of the clan to come and collect the things. This was a welfare for the clan.

In ancient clan society, there was not only corresponding power, but also benefits to the children of the clan.

Youshi smiled and said: "I see that no one has lived in embarrassment this year. Not to mention that the children in those houses have all found military positions in the army, but those who are older have been planting a lot of flowers and trees in the garden recently.

, and the comprador guys in the government all entrusted them to do it."

Qin Keqing said softly: "It's more or less what you mean. In addition, you should also get the money for the ancestral sacrifice from the Ministry of Rites, and use it to honor your ancestors. There are a lot of things that happened a year ago."

Youshi responded softly.

Qin Keqing said: "Okay, let's play two pieces of mahjong and let's go back and have a rest."

On such a cold day, her man didn't hug her and did nothing but play mahjong.

Not mentioning that the Ningguofu mahjong quartet played mahjong again, but that Jia Heng went to the courtyard where Daiyu lived.

The wing where Daiyu is located——

The orange light dancing on the candlestick was quiet and soft, reflecting a petite and pretty figure on the inner curtain of the bed.

Not far away, Xiren and Xueyan were in front of the bookshelf, arranging the furnishings according to Daiyu's past usage habits.

Zijuan came to the bed with a basin of hot water, put down the copper basin, and stared at the girl holding the book. She said softly: "Girl, the bed is made, please sit down and wash your feet first."

.”

Daiyu put down the book, her eyes were no longer as bright as before, and she seemed to say with emotion: "Sister Zijuan, there are so many things going on right after you come back. It's better not to come back at all."

Hearing this, Zijuan knew that her girl had something on her mind. She knelt down to help Daiyu put on her shoes and socks, and said softly: "It is true that the girl is not as comfortable here as in Jinling, but Shenjing is the girl's future home, sir."

Didn’t you say that I will come to Beijing soon?"

When Daiyu returned from Jinling, she immediately fell into the turmoil of Baoyu throwing jade. When she arrived at Ningguo Mansion, she was not as good as the "lady in charge" she had when she was at Ningguo Mansion in Jinling.

Daiyu's eyes were lost in thought and she was silent for a moment.

Zijuan said softly: "Girl, didn't I say that after the garden is repaired, the girl can move in? Now, Grandma Heng said that she will also buy things in the garden."

Daiyu sighed quietly and said, "Brother Heng didn't even talk to me much today."

Zijuan smiled and said: "Didn't the uncle go to see the saint in the afternoon? He came back in the evening, how could the girl forget?"

He secretly thought, is this the reason for the girl's gloomy look? Also, if he were in Jinling, the uncle would have come to talk to the girl as soon as possible, but in the morning he would leave the girl to Grandma Heng for comfort.

Daiyu's starry eyes showed thoughts and said: "Zijuan, what do you think my aunt is doing when she comes to see Brother Heng today?"

Zijuan said: "Isn't it because of Young Master Xue's cousin? It's almost the New Year, and it's time to come back and celebrate the New Year well."

Daiyu said softly: "I don't think it looks like my aunt is full of worries. Most of her eyes are on Sister Bao."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Could it be that you are talking to Brother Heng about getting married?"

Zijuan: "..."

After thinking for a while, he said: "Even if you say that, it is normal. Miss Bao is not young anymore, she is two years older than her."

Daiyu said "hmm", a little absent-mindedly.

She didn't know why, but she felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at Sister Qin, who was graceful and smiling.

After Brother Heng arrived in Beijing, he probably stayed with Sister Qin most of the time. He no longer talked to her as intimately as he did in Jinling every day. He went back to the time when he was in Shenjing, not seeing her once for ten and a half months.

In fact, compared to Jia Heng who is powerful in China, for Yu Daiyu, companionship is the longest confession of love, even if this kind of companionship is of low quality, carried out in crying and fussing, but it is also on a lonely island

It is full of fragrance.

At this moment, Mammy's voice sounded outside, saying: "Uncle Heng, you are here."

When Daiyu heard this, her heart was filled with joy, and her starry eyes began to sparkle.

Zijuan smiled and said softly: "Girl, as we talk, people are coming."

In fact, this is only the second day after returning to Beijing. Except for yesterday when everyone came back and Daiyu went to Xifu to see the old lady, today is only the second day.

Jia Heng walked around a lady's glass screen and entered the wing with a bead curtain. He looked at the girl and called out: "Sister Lin."

"Brother Heng." Daiyu's brows were overflowing with joy.

Looking at the petite girl, Jia Heng chuckled and said, "Sister Lin, you are washing your feet."

While talking, he came close enough to sit on the bed next to Daiyu and looked at the cute, small and tender white jade feet under the swaying lights in the basin. Although they were separated by the water, they could still be seen as white as bamboo shoots.

I wonder if wearing white stockings will make her an ice cream cone?

"Clatter..." The water made a sound, and she felt uncomfortable being stared at by the young man's hot eyes. Daiyu's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, her eyebrows were obviously a little embarrassed, and her toes stirred up the water in the basin.

Zi Juan wiped the foot wash on her cheeks with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Girl, don't move."

Jia Heng took advantage of the situation and put his arms around Daiyu's shoulders, saying warmly: "My sister was wronged today. What happened this morning will never happen again in the future."

Daiyu said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, I'm fine."

Sister Zijuan didn't even leave, but Brother Heng just... hugged her.

Jia Heng said: "I'll live in peace in the mansion from now on. Let's talk again after we get to the garden. I just returned to Beijing recently and I have a lot of things on hand."

At this time, Zijuan washed Daiyu's feet, took a towel and said, "Girl, wipe it."

Jia Heng chuckled and said, "Give me Zijuan. I'll wipe it for Sister Lin. You go and pour the water."

After Zijuan agreed, she took the towel in one hand and Daiyu's calf in the other. The jade feet that had just been washed were slightly red and steaming, and the water droplets rolled on the ankles and insteps.

Well, even though he had seen and even touched most of the skin on Daiyu's body, he had never looked closely at the girl's beautiful feet.

Being stared at by Jia Heng, Daiyu was really shy. Even her husband was rarely like this. The girl's delicate body softened half of her body. She snorted with a greasy nose and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, I can do it myself."

.”

She didn't know why, but she always felt that his gaze was a little too hot, as if he was hiding some strange hobby.

Jia Heng said softly: "It's nothing."

He took a towel and dried Daiyu's feet, then gently took Daiyu's legs and put them under the quilt.

Looking at the gentle young man, Daiyu's cheeks were slightly red, but her heart was filled with sweetness, and she said softly: "Brother Heng."

Brother Heng feels like he treats her as a child sometimes.

Jia Heng put his arms around Dai Yu's slender shoulders and faced her bright and moving face. Under the light of the lights, his eyes seemed to think that the crying in the morning was filled with resentment, and Jia Heng's heart inevitably moved.

Looking at the young man's face getting closer, Daiyu closed her starry eyes slightly. Immediately, she felt her lips soften, and a very familiar breath came in, instantly overwhelming her mind.

Suddenly, Jia Heng looked at Daiyu, who had a blushing face all the way to her earlobes, and secretly thought that the feelings of Scarlet Pearl Immortal Grass and Baochai are really completely different.

After such a long time, Daiyu must have made some progress, not to mention Xianning's fiery enthusiasm, but she also responded timidly.

Jia Heng put his arm around Daiyu's shoulders and said, "Sister, it's a little cold. Let's sit in bed and talk."

On the boat, we occasionally found time to get intimate. Compared to Baochai, Daiyu was undoubtedly clingier, but Daiyu was exactly the most coaxing of the two of them, with plenty of love and sweet words.

Jiaheng took off his shoes, lifted the quilt, and sat on the bed with Daiyu to talk.

Daiyu nestled her little head in Jia Heng's arms, feeling a sense of peace in her heart.

Jia Heng whispered: "Sister Lin, don't be too sad about what happened in the morning. Baoyu is going to kneel in the ancestral hall now, and when spring starts, he will go to school to study. Naturally, there will be less contact, and there will be no such thing again.

"

Daiyu cast her soft eyes at the young man and said, "Brother Heng, I'm not sad. I just thought that I didn't meet Brother Heng earlier in the past."

It wasn't the first time that I fell into the jade, but every time I felt frightened and helpless, but today it was different because of him.

Jia Heng said softly: "The encounter between you and me will happen either sooner or later. There is a certain destiny."

When Daiyu heard this, her starry eyes flashed, and listening to the boy's pounding heartbeat, she said, "Brother Heng, it is indeed a certain number."

In fact, she had thought that if Brother Heng had met her earlier, they would have been together for the rest of their lives in that Liutiao Hutong.

In fact, the girl didn't know that Meng Baochai had done this before, but they were not a pair of people for the rest of their lives.

Jia Heng gently caressed Daiyu's slender shoulders. After a while, Daiyu's body was no longer as delicate as before, and her body had become slightly plump.

Daiyu is not only good-looking, her body is actually more in line with Bai Youshou's aesthetic.

Jia Heng leaned into the girl's ear and whispered: "Sister, let me take a look at the sheep talisman."

There has been no shepherding for a while.

When Daiyu heard this, her beautiful cheeks were as hot as fire. Qiong snorted and said shyly, "Brother Heng."

It's true that Brother Heng always speaks so bluntly and passionately, but she just can't resist.

"Brother Heng, are you going to attend court next year?" Daiyu's voice was slender with a hint of trembling, and she gently grabbed Jia Heng's hand that was pinching the lamb's nose.

Jia Heng said softly: "Well, I have to get up early tomorrow. It's quite cold."

The novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been circulated in Beijing recently, and Xu Kai's memorial book was written before he arrived in Shenjing and brought it with him.

Seeing concern in Daiyu's starry eyes, she said softly: "When I was on the boat, I knitted a sweat towel for Brother Heng. Brother Heng tied it on his body to keep him warm."

Jia Heng said softly: "Then let Zijuan take her with me when I leave."

Daiyu snorted softly and looked at the young man who had leaned down with a shy look.

Brother Heng does this every time. Her body makes him so curious and fond of her? So obsessed with her? Humph...

The girl was thinking to herself when she felt a trembling sensation coming over her skin, and she could hardly control herself.
