Chapter 874 Jia Heng: Do you call this convenience?
Ningguo Mansion
The north wind is still howling in the pitch-black sky, and heavy snowflakes are flying. The branches of the sycamore trees in the courtyard are already covered with snowflakes, and the sky and the earth are covered in silver.
While Jia Heng and Sister You were talking, they entered the wing one after another. In the small hall and the wing, there were tables, chairs, cabinets and beds. The interior was warm and the fragrance of flowers was pleasant.
At this moment, in the inner room where the bead curtain hangs, the hot water in the wooden bucket has been prepared. After putting down their clothes, several maids slowly exited the room.
Jia Heng stared at Sister You and said, "Speaking of which, it has been almost a year since you came to my house."
When Sanjie You heard this, the memory on her face flashed away, and she said softly: "It's been a year."
Jia Heng stared at the pretty girl. Sanjie You's appearance was indeed extremely beautiful. Under the light of the lights, her cheeks were as white as snow, and her face was like peach blossoms.
Third Sister You came slowly, feeling a little uneasy. She bit her lips and said softly, "Uncle Heng, let me help you change your clothes."
Although I had just gathered up the courage, but when I actually went into battle, I didn't know why, my heart was pounding.
Jia Heng did not refuse and said softly: "Yes."
After saying that, he first untied the string under his neck and placed the mountain-shaped feather crown on his head on the small table. He had not untied the jade belt himself, but suddenly a pair of slender hands untied Jia Heng's rhinoceros horn jade belt, and then came
He helped Jia Heng take on the python suit from the front.
After a while, Jia Heng took off his outer clothes, wearing only his inner clothes and a sweat scarf tied around his waist.
Third Sister You looked at the blue sweat scarf, her beautiful eyes blinked, and she looked vaguely familiar, and said, "Who gave this to Uncle Weaver Girl?"
Jia Heng did not answer and said: "It seems like I don't remember who it is."
He remembered that it was the You family.
Third Sister You pursed her lips and smiled lightly, but did not ask further questions.
She thought to herself, it looked like the one eldest sister had knitted last year, but Uncle Heng had been carrying it with him. Well, he had to have a good talk with eldest sister when he got back.
Jia Heng took off his sweat towel and said warmly: "I'll just do it myself."
Then remove the lining.
As he said that, he turned to look at the girl whose cheeks were as hot as fire and whose eyebrows were shy. For a moment, she felt very interesting in her heart and said, "Third sister is usually so fierce, but she is so embarrassed today?"
Third Sister You looked at the young man's exposed chest and felt as if the tip of her heart was being burned. Her beautiful eyes were slightly averted, the smell of alcohol and the heat from her body surged up, and her delicate body became half stiff.
He gently untied his cotton skirt and said, "Then I will serve you to take a bath."
In fact, she could clearly see how Qingwen's naughty hooves served her through the window.
Compared to that Qingwen, she can only be better.
Jia Heng turned his head and looked at the girl whose face was as charming as the petals of a peach blossom. He stopped the girl's busy hands and said softly: "No need for this, it's a bit cold. Don't catch a cold like this."
He did have some thoughts today...but Keqing has been in some physical discomfort for the past two days, and Daiyu and the others are a bit young.
Looking at the entire Ningguo Mansion, it seems that only the third sister is suitable. We can't let Yuanyang, who is serving Jia Mu, come over to serve her so late at night.
As for Miaoyu, Shitai is like a pot of wine that needs to be sipped carefully and slowly, and it is like a plum that needs to be lowered and smelled carefully. It is not suitable after drinking.
But wines with a bit of strong flavor such as Sanjie You are more suitable.
In fact, Qin Keqing's previous considerations are commonplace, because in large families, there are maids who live in the same room, so that when the hostess is not feeling well, she can temporarily take care of things. If the hostess is pregnant, it cannot last for several months.
Let the male protagonist live a monk's life of pure heart and ascetic desire.
To put it bluntly, the maids who live in the same room are more like bedding.
However, the two maids Baozhu and Ruizhu brought by Qin Keqing were far inferior to all the orioles in Ningguo Mansion, both in appearance and figure. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were mediocre.
The ceiling of the maid world is Qingwen, and the three giants of Pingyuan and Yaerta are naturally far different from each other.
Qin Keqing knew this and initially mentioned the matter of the two maids, but as time passed, he never mentioned it again.
Without him, who are the people outside watching?
She is either a princess or a princess, with a high status and gorgeous appearance, but she uses two little maids who are still growing to show off her grandma demeanor?
And Jia Heng usually never takes another look at the two little girls who have little sense of existence.
So, to a certain extent, Second Sister You and Third Sister You are the two beautiful maids Qin Keqing found.
Even if Sister Feng is as jealous as she is, there must be a Ping'er by her side for Jia Lian to serve as the face of the big lady.
This can't even be said to have wronged me, but rather the consciousness and dignity of the head wife. Mrs. Wang is so talkative and has a heart of truth. Jia Zheng also has Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou by his side.
Otherwise, in this era where the death rate of heirs is relatively high and the importance of passing on the family line is important, it would be a huge sin to have more children if the wife of the head of the household blocks the adoption of concubines.
Two girls with shallow foundations and even unclear family backgrounds are perfectly suitable to decorate the appearance and take them as concubines. If it is darker, it is easy to manipulate.
It is definitely not as stressful as facing Chai and Dai, because Xue and Lin are cousins of the Jia family. What are their family backgrounds?
Not to mention the generations of Daiyu's ancestors, her father was a civil servant of the Qing Dynasty, so he criticized Baochai for whether she was worthy of the position of head wife.
She is also the legitimate daughter of the four major families of King Xue of Jia Shi. Even without the original filter bonus of being ranked first in the official list of the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling, let Baochai, the daughter of the imperial merchant, have never declined in her family life.
Next, like maids like Qingwen and Xiren, give someone the position of aunt?
Is this appropriate? It's a bit insulting.
Therefore, in Keqing's eyes, if you don't look up to You's twins as aunts, who else can you look up to?
As for the other four springs, not to mention their young age, they all have the same surname, so they have never been considered. Xiangyun and Baoqin are both foreign relatives and are still young.
As for Miaoyu and Xiuyan, one is a foreigner with a lonely life, and the other is Biyu from a small family. Qin Keqing doesn't know about the former, but Qin Keqing has already thought about raising a hand again.
So it looks like there are a lot of birds and feathers, but in fact there are really not many that are suitable.
But Jia Heng had not shown any special interest in You's twins before, which made Qin Keqing secretly happy and a little unhappy at the same time.
Why, I don’t even want it for you? Chai Dai, the princess smells so good?
It's probably such a contradictory unwillingness.
Sanjie You came forward and helped Jia Heng wash his back, and said, "Sister Qin is recuperating these days and talks about having a child with me."
Jia Heng chuckled lightly and said, "She tells you sisters everything."
He actually understands some of Ke Qing's thoughts, which is that she lacks a sense of security. She has become a first-class Madam just after passing the door, and there is Xian Ning watching from outside. It's strange that Ke Qing is not in a hurry.
Sanjie You said softly: "Sister treats us very well. It's hard to avoid worrying about the child when I've been here for so long."
Jia Heng said: "I originally thought about her body. Giving birth at this time is a very difficult time for women. The older and fatter they are, the easier it will be for them to have children."
Third Sister You's eyes were charming, and she said softly: "I see that my sister is not young anymore, so she should have one, otherwise people will gossip. I don't know what those talkative women are saying in private if I'm not in the house.
It's fine here in the East Mansion for making strange remarks. I encountered them a few times and scolded them a few times, but I don't know about them in the West Mansion, but I think they are there."
Jia Heng said: "This is true, even though I am rectifying it, I can't help but grumble in my heart. There are thousands of servants in the Rongning and Ning mansions. These things are inevitable after all."
In this day and age, if a wife has been here for more than a year and her stomach has not moved at all, she will definitely be criticized and criticized.
Especially since he is now at the top of the Rong and Ning mansions, and even in the Han Dynasty.
"So, uncle, you have to hurry up." Third Sister You helped Jia Heng put on the last piece of underwear.
"No wonder she asked me to come here to serve you. She came here to be a lobbyist." Jia Heng said softly, looking at the beautiful face, holding the girl's plump waist with one hand, and stroking the pink and plump cheeks with the other.
, the skin feels tender and smooth, and youthful is the best skin care product for girls of this age.
Sanjie You, on the other hand, has picturesque eyebrows, curved eyebrows and cheeks, and her face is not as graceful and majestic as Yuanchun's, but it is not a palm-sized face either. Her facial features are quite a bit like Sister Feng's elegance and sharpness.
No wonder later generations selected actors and collectively called them the Feng Jie group. The characters of the third sister and Feng Jie also have some similarities, but one is from a poor family and the other is from a wealthy Wang family.
Third Sister You raised her beautiful face, and was looked at by the young man's aggressive and hot gaze. Her eyes were full of autumn water, her pink lips twitched, and she said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Heng, eh~"
Immediately, a warm breath mixed with alcohol hit her face, the girl's delicate body trembled slightly, a greasy hum sounded from the nose under her small nose, and her mouth opened slightly.
In the winter night, the snow falling from the sky is thickly covered on rockeries and eaves, while snowmen are piled up, and the richness flows over Jia Heng's fingers, changing in unpredictable ways.
The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and there was a heavy snowfall.
Sanjie You's clothes were slightly undone, her eyes were slightly closed under her beautiful eyebrows, and the mist was hazy. Her face was as bright as fire, and the bright clouds were gorgeous. She said: "Uncle, take a shower first, don't catch a cold."
.”
Jia Heng lowered his eyes and looked at the shy girl, and said, "Well, you can take a bath for me."
Third Sister You responded shyly, and then untied Jia Heng's belt. As soon as her crystal clear eyes reached down, she was immediately burned, and she quickly turned away, her heart skipping a beat.
This is too...
He is normally aggressive, but when things get tough, he becomes shy.
While Jia Heng was talking, he got into the bathtub, washed away the smell of hunting alcohol from his body, closed his eyes, and thought about the situation.
Third Sister You walked behind, stretched out her slender hands to help Jia Heng rub his shoulders, and said softly: "Uncle, there should be nothing major before the Chinese New Year."
"Well, the big things are gone, but there are still a lot of trivial official duties." Jia Heng responded softly, took a towel and wiped his chest, and said softly: "How are the preparations for the New Year in the mansion?"
Third Sister You said softly: "Everyone in the house has been busy these days. I think it's almost done. Sister-in-law Feng said that after a few days, she would invite a theater troupe to come over and sing an opera to celebrate the uncle's enthronement. And
The garden will be moved in the day after tomorrow."
Jia Heng said "hmm" and asked, "How is your family doing? Is the old lady okay?"
Sanjie You said quietly: "It's not like that at home, but they often ask me when I will serve the uncle and scold me for not living up to expectations."
Jia Heng: "..."
He gently pinched Sister You San's cheek, looked at the girl with bright eyebrows, and said, "Then I'll let you regain your strength."
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "I'll go back and talk to Ke Qing. I'll go to your house in the next two days and send someone to your house to lay down a few clothes and jewelry. The yard where you live will be decorated and simple.
Take care of it, the red hijab, and the wedding dress should all be worn once."
Third Sister You can be regarded as his concubine, but he doesn't know how to entertain guests and make grand arrangements, otherwise many people will come to congratulate her, which would be too ostentatious.
But a sedan came from the side door, and Sanjie You's house was simply decorated as a new house. If it were a concubine from outside, it might have to be arranged a lot, but it would not necessarily be the case with a maid in an ordinary house.
Third Sister You pursed her pink lips and said softly: "Uncle, there's no need to go to such trouble. I'm fine. It's fine just like this."
She had also thought about this scenario in her dreams, putting on a fiery red wedding dress and getting married to her husband, but it was impossible.
At this time, only the first wife could worship heaven and earth and worship her parents, and to take a concubine was to enter from the side door on a sedan chair, so the concubine's room was also called the side room.
"I only wear this once in my life, so it should be more festive." Jia Heng said warmly.
I remember in the original work, Sanjie You cried and asked when she would become a boss, but what she actually wanted was the title of this aunt.
The Han system legally recognized concubines, and the children of concubines were called concubines. For example, Jia Huan had the right to inherit property, and he could also stab Baoyu from time to time.
Thirdly, children born to maids have a low status in the house and are only slightly better than slaves.
When Sanjie You heard this, her jade face was stagnant, her nose was sore, and her beautiful eyes were full of tears. She suddenly sobbed: "Uncle Heng."
She finally got through it. Although she said she would get it by herself, what was it? Hu Meizi's charm method, I don't know why he looked down on her in his heart.
And she is the first aunt that the uncle accepts.
As soon as she thought of this, the girl felt the sweetness in her heart could not be suppressed. She was the first aunt to accept it.
Jia Heng looked at the girl with fragrant skin and beautiful cheeks, and said: "Okay, stop crying, there is nothing to cry about."
Sanjie You wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Yurong turned to look happy and said, "Uncle, I'll wait for you to take a bath."
Jia Heng said: "I'm almost done washing now, go and get me some clothes."
Third Sister You said "Yes" and helped Jia Heng wipe her body. She prepared her underwear and helped Jia Heng put it on.
"Uncle, it's time... to rest." Third Sister You blushed and asked softly.
Jia Heng asked: "Is your place convenient?"
Third Sister You's cheeks were as red as a blush, and she said softly: "Second Sister and I live in the same house, it's convenient."
Jia Heng: "..."
You call this convenience?
After thinking for a while, he took Sanjie You's hand and said, "Well, let's sleep here today. There are beddings here."
Third Sister You's cheeks were red and she said "Alas".
As he spoke, Jia Heng took Sister You's hand and walked around a lady's embroidery screen, entered the suite, and came to the bed surrounded by curtains, with quilts and pillows, and asked warmly:
"Have you written a newsprint recently?"
While Sanjie You was putting on her shoes and socks, she said: "It turns out that I have finished writing that book. I said I would write another one in a while."
Jia Heng said softly: "Well, I always have to find something to do for myself at home. We don't expect to make money from this. We just want you to read more books and so on."
Third Sister You, wearing only one inner coat, put down the curtain on the golden hook, her cheeks were bright and red, and she said shyly: "That's what I mean too."
It all feels like a dream.
Jia Heng put his arms around the girl's shoulders, and the two of them lay down and said, "Well, let's take a rest."
Sanjie You pursed her lips and said softly: "I will take care of you."
Jia Heng smiled and said in a low voice: "I'm a little tired today. It's okay for you to take care of me, but how will you take care of me?"
After a while, he was stunned for a moment, but saw that the girl had already got into bed, and then her eyes narrowed.
The winter in Shenjing is not as warm and humid as the climate in Jiangnan.
In fact, it is not much better than Qingwen, and is still a bit raw.
After a while, Jia Heng pulled Sanjie You over and said, "Okay, it's almost done."
Third Sister You, with a slightly red face and soft black hair hanging down, said softly, "Hmm."
Jia Heng didn't say much else and kept his head buried in the snow.
At this moment, the north is roaring outside, blowing through the sycamore trees, and the snow is falling, while the interior is as warm as spring, and the orioles are singing.
On the other side, the courtyard where Daiyu is—
Daiyu sat on the bed, holding a book and was slightly lost in thought. The light was blurred, and her petite figure was projected on the window. She put down the book and sighed softly.
Zijuan walked closer and said softly: "Girl, it's late at night, it's time to rest."
Daiyu put down the book in her hand and stopped talking: "Zijuan."
"What's wrong, miss?" Zijuan said softly, then understood and asked in a low voice: "Miss, it's because of that Third Sister You."
Daiyu shook her head and said, "That's not it."
Sanjie You was just here for fun, otherwise she wouldn't have been in the mansion for nearly a year without him even looking at her.
It's just that this day, since he returned to Beijing, Brother Heng said yesterday that he would come back to see her every day, so he just saw her in the hall, right?
Zijuan said: "Girl, I'm usually very busy. When I went to Jiangnan, I didn't even see Grandma Heng for several months."
Her girl is good at everything, but she is too clingy. The uncle has to be busy with court matters, so there is no way he can talk and laugh around the girl every day.
Daiyu nodded, her starry eyes flashed, and she said softly: "I know, when Brother Heng went to the Guangdong Sea, he was busy with military affairs."
But when I was in Jinling, I talked with her every day.
Zijuan said softly: "However, it doesn't mean that the garden has been tidied up. The girl will be able to live in it in a few days. Girl, I see that the uncle puts the girl very seriously in his heart."
Daiyu nodded, a look of thought appearing on her pretty face.
She knew this, she should have a very important weight in his heart, and so did she.
Zijuan said, sat down on the bed, leaned into the girl's ear, and whispered: "Girl, I feel that in my heart, the uncle treats the girl no better than Grandma Heng."
When Daiyu suddenly heard this, she felt her heart tremble slightly, and her heart was filled with sweetness, but she reprimanded in her mouth: "This...this is a good comparison, don't talk nonsense."
In fact, she also... feels the same way.
Humph, he had already had his eye on her a long time ago, and he even asked her to take care of herself. He even thought about the name of the child he would give her. This was really deliberate.
Zijuan talked about her evidence and said softly: "Girl, look how long that girl from the You family has been here. Uncle Heng doesn't even look at her. The nuns in the house secretly say that the two girls have good looks."
, but I haven’t seen anything happen to the uncle, he is always polite, and the uncle has always taken good care of the girl."
Daiyu's face was shy, she pursed her pink lips and said, "I know."
Zijuan said softly: "My uncle has been busy these two days with prisoner presentations and court meetings. However, there should be nothing to be busy with before the year. I will definitely be able to spend more time with the girl."
My girl wants to spend more time with her, but that kind of making noises together is obviously not possible.
Daiyu said softly: "It's snowing so heavily today. Sister-in-law Feng said she would move to the garden the day after tomorrow. It would be nice if I could go to the garden first and enjoy the snow scenery."
Zijuan smiled and said, "Let's see if Uncle Heng is free tomorrow. Well, let's take a rest early."
Daiyu said "hmm", said no more, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
