Chapter 878 Bao Qin: Just now was the car shaking a little?
Jia Heng left the weapons supervisor, and accompanied by Chang Hong and several weapons supervisor scribes, went to the area where the Portuguese craftsmen lived to check the living conditions of the craftsmen.
On the other side, in the inn, Nona was chatting with the visiting Baoqin, and there was also a little girl, who was Golade's daughter Rosa.
Because it had snowed in the past two days and it was inconvenient to travel, Baoqin had nothing to do in Ningguo Mansion, so he came over to chat with Nona.
Nona stood in the direction of the window, looking at the snow-covered and silver-clad houses on both sides of the street outside. Her curved eyelashes trembled, and her bright blue eyes seemed to have a little sparkle, and she sighed with emotion: "I look like this.
I’ve never seen such big snowflakes before.”
Xue Baoqin smiled and said, "It would be nice to go out and play. I came here today to invite you to enjoy the scenery at Ningguo Mansion. The plum blossoms over there are in bloom."
"Ningguo Mansion? Is it the Marquis's private residence?" Nona turned around and asked.
Xue Baoqin nodded and said: "There is a small garden inside. My sisters and I will move into the garden these days. Many girls are there. Everyone talks and laughs. It is usually more lively. You can also
Go over there."
Nona smiled and said, "It's quite lively here. I even made a snowman yesterday."
She didn't get along with those girls in the past. She originally came from Haojing because she was used to seeing every plant and tree in Haojing and wanted to come to this big central country to experience the different customs and customs.
While he was talking, Baoqin's personal maid, Xiaoluo, opened the cotton curtain and said, "Miss, the waiter at the inn outside said that Marquis Yongning is here."
Xue Baoqin didn't react for a while and asked: "Marquis Yongning?"
Xiaoluo smiled and said, "That's Uncle Heng. Uncle Heng is here."
Hearing this, Xue Baoqin's face, as white as snow, was filled with joy and said, "Nonna, let's go out and have a look."
With that said, he took Nona's hand and left the side room.
At this time, Jia Heng, led by the weapons supervisor Ding, walked along the stairs to the corridor on the second floor.
Because Nona was the daughter of Australian Governor Bugalu, the Ordnance Supervisor specially sent several guards to protect her. In addition, there were also Jinyi Mansion guards to protect her secretly.
Bao Qin's charming and innocent eyebrows were filled with smiles, and her big, moist, bright eyes looked at the boy in the python suit, "Brother Heng, why are you here?"
"I came to the Ordnance Supervision to do some work, and I thought Nona lived here, so I came over to take a look." Jia Heng stared at the charming and innocent face, and thought to himself, at first glance, she looks exactly like Baochai.
"Why is Sister Baoqin here too?" Jia Heng asked.
Baoqin smiled brightly and said softly: "Come and see Nona. She has been in Beijing for a few days."
Jia Heng said softly: "Have sister Baoqin had lunch?"
"Not yet? I'm talking to sister Nona." Xue Baoqin said with a chuckle.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Let's have something together later."
After saying that, he entered the side room, sat down, looked at Nona who was watching quietly and smiling silently, and said: "Nona, I haven't seen you for a few days."
"Your Highness the Marquis." Nona looked at Jia Heng and said softly.
Jia Heng nodded and asked, "Is Miss Nona still used to being in Shenjing?"
Nona said softly: "Thank you Marquis for your concern, Shenjing is doing well."
Jia Heng said: "It has been snowing these past few days and the weather is a bit cold. I will instruct the Ordnance Supervisor to deliver some fine charcoal for Miss Nona to keep warm."
Nona chuckled lightly and said, "It's nice here. This is the first time I've seen such heavy snow."
Xue Baoqin said: "Brother Heng, I just told Sister Nona to let her live in Ningguo Mansion. In the afternoon, Sister-in-law Feng asked us to go to Ning Mansion to visit the garden."
Jia Heng asked: "Has the garden been tidied up?"
"It's all sorted out." Xue Baoqin said softly: "Sister-in-law Feng said that when Brother Heng is free, he will go over and write his name on the plaque."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Then go over and have a look in the next two days."
In fact, in the original work, Grand View Garden was renamed twice by Baoyu and Yuanchun, and the final name was formed through various local plaques and couplets.
He did not want to destroy the original flavor of the Grand View Garden, so he just had to inscribe it according to the name it later took shape.
Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at Nona and said: "The conditions here are quite poor. If Miss Nona doesn't give up, you can live in the house. After next spring, if Miss Nona misses her family, I will send someone to take you back."
Hao Jing."
Although the exotic atmosphere is good, because my hometown is still far away and everything is unfamiliar, after the initial novelty wears off, I will probably still want to return to Haojing.
Nona's blue eyes under her thin eyebrows showed gratitude, and she said softly: "That's just as His Highness the Marquis said."
Jia Heng glanced at the sky and said with a smile: "It's already noon now. I'm a little hungry now. Let's have some lunch together."
With that said, he ordered the maid Xiaoluo: "Go and talk to the guy at the inn."
Baoqin asked curiously: "Brother Heng went to the weapons inspection department this morning?"
Jia Heng nodded and said with a smile: "Go over and see how the fire gun is made."
"How is the fire gun made? Is it possible to mass-produce it?" Xue Baoqin asked with concern.
Jia Heng said: "There are still some difficulties. It is not easy to produce large quantities of products."
Xue Xiaomei is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very knowledgeable.
Bao Qin said "hmm", then smiled sweetly and said: "Brother Heng, today I saw my father going to Lixiangyuan to discuss business. He said he wanted to meet you in the past two days and talk about sea trade.
thing."
Jia Heng said: "I was just saying that I planned to meet your father."
Nona, who was listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly asked: "Your Highness the Marquis, how long will Uncle Golade be here?"
"According to the original agreement with your father, you need to stay for three years." Jia Heng put down the tea cup in his hand, turned to look at Nona, and said.
The original agreement between Jiaheng and Bujialu was to hire Portuguese people to offset the original rent, which was of course also Bujialu's proactive gesture of goodwill.
Nona hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Three years? They may not be used to the climate here. Recently, many people have been clamoring to go back."
Jia Heng said: "You will get used to it if you get used to it slowly. If the craftsmen in the weapons prison can learn the art of making firecrackers, they may go back early."
These grape craftsmen are actually the technicians lent to the Han Dynasty by Bugalu on behalf of Portugal. Although they can be controlled through other means, if they do not try their best, they can also cause a lot of trouble.
Hearing this, Nona nodded and said, "Then let's do this for now."
Just like that, Jia Heng, Bao Qin and Nona were talking and finishing lunch.
Under Baoqin's beautiful eyebrows, her bright eyes flickered, and she invited him: "Brother Heng, let's go back together in the carriage."
After her father arrived in the capital, he still wanted to tell her about her husband's family. Now only Brother Heng can help her.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the girl, and met the little fat girl's hesitant gaze. Knowing that something was wrong, he asked: "Where is my sister's carriage?"
"It's parked outside." Bao Qin said.
While they were talking, they left the inn, got on the carriage, and sat on the left and right sides.
Bao Qin turned her snowy face, looked at the young man, and said, "Brother Heng, dad has recently proposed a marriage for me."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said softly: "My sister is still young, so my uncle shouldn't be in such a hurry."
Bao Qin sighed and said, "Dad, he is afraid that it will delay my marriage."
As he said that, he looked at Jia Heng expectantly and said, "Brother Heng, why don't you talk to dad and tell me that I won't marry anyone until two years later?"
Jia Heng said: "Sister Baoqin, marriage is your family matter, and I can't say anything else."
He is just a relative of the Xue family, so it would be inappropriate for him to interfere.
"It's hard to explain. Brother Heng is my brother-in-law." Bao Qin took Jia Heng's arm and shook it gently. She looked coquettish on her snowy face and said, "Brother-in-law, please tell me."
Jia Heng was made a little uncomfortable by the girl's coquettish look, especially when Xiao He, who had just revealed her sharp horns, rubbed her arm, and every inch seemed to be exuding the aura of youth, and said: "Okay, I'll help you.
Think of something."
The bright eyes under Baoqin's willow eyebrows blinked, looking at the young man with a look of helplessness on his face, and said by mistake: "How about I tell dad that I have a crush on Brother Heng?"
Jia Heng: "..."
After calming down, he looked at the girl with a beautiful face, took the girl's soft and delicate hand, and said: "Sister Baoqin said so, what if your father promises you to me?"
Hearing this, Baoqin let out a "yeah" sound, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly lowered her head, feeling the warm hands, her heartbeat speeding up unconsciously.
Brother Heng was like this last time, talking and starting to hold her hand.
Maybe she treats her as a child, and Brother Heng is actually her cousin-in-law. Is this normal?
Jia Heng looked at the girl with downcast eyebrows and slightly red cheeks, and said softly: "Sister, please wear more clothes next time, because your hands are very cold."
Baoqin: "???"
Jia Heng said as if nothing had happened, "Why don't you say you want to serve your parents for a few more days, and since your sister Bao's matter has not been settled yet, it wouldn't be too late to wait another year or two."
Baoqin calmed down, raised her face as white as snow, and asked: "Where is Brother Heng? Brother Heng also talked to Dad?"
Jia Heng chuckled and joked: "Let me see the situation. I can't say that I like Sister Baoqin?"
Baoqin: "..."
Her heart was beating wildly, her snow-grey cheeks turned red with shame, she twisted her handkerchief in her hands and said angrily: "What did Brother Heng say?"
Brother Heng likes her? No...this is giving her advice.
Jia Heng thought for a while and looked at Baoqin with great interest. Compared with Baochai, Baoqin, who was also plump and plump, looked more like a porcelain doll piled up in the snow, especially this kind of silly and cute figure.
White and sweet character.
In comparison, Baochai is too shrewd after all.
Jia Heng said softly: "Sister Baoqin, you can actually give it a try."
At this time, girls' marriages were scheduled very early, and they were even married on the fingertips, and the baby would kiss her, so Xue Yun wanted to schedule a marriage for her daughter in advance, which was normal.
It's just that Bao Qin is obviously still a little girl at heart and doesn't want to get married yet.
Baoqin's face, as white and flawless as a pear blossom, blushed into brilliant haze. She snorted softly and said: "Then I really said that. When the time comes, dad will take it seriously and insist on letting it go. Then I will see
How can Brother Heng explain to Second Sister?"
In fact, at this moment, Bao Qin didn't even know that it was a bit flirtatious.
Jia Heng said in a low voice: "At that time, it was indeed a bit difficult to deal with. Your second sister should be annoyed."
As he spoke, he gently let go of the girl's soft little hand. When talking to a girl of this age, the atmosphere was always very lively, making people unable to help but tease her.
Baoqin: "???"
Immediately, his breathing stagnated, Brother Heng, you... what do you mean?
At this moment, the wheels of the traveling carriage seemed to hit a pebble in the snow and staggered. Baoqin said "Hey!" and fell in the direction of Jia Heng.
Jia Heng's face paused slightly to prevent Bao Qin from getting hurt. He originally took Bao Qin's hand and brought it into his arms. It was as if a fat orange cat fell into his arms, plump and soft, accompanied by
A fragrant aroma hit my nostrils, and my mind wandered for a moment.
Jia Heng looked at the girl whose bright face had lost some of her color and asked, "Sister Baoqin, are you okay?"
"I...I'm fine." Bao Qin lowered his eyebrows, pursed his pink lips, and said in a trembling voice.
At this moment, they were breathing together, and the hot breath hit their face. Baoqin's pear-petal cheeks were as red as rouge, her moist apricot eyes were full of autumn water with a bit of obsession, and for some reason, her body was extremely soft.
Jia looked at the chubby girl with pink cheeks as red as peach blossoms. He came closer and gently pecked the girl's pink lips. He felt that the touch was warm and soft, which was very different from Baochai's.
"Yeah." Baoqin's delicate body trembled slightly, her white and flawless face raised, her moist apricot eyes widened with disbelief in her eyes.
Oh my god, why is Brother Heng kissing her? How...how will she get married in the future?
Jia Heng's face looked a little unnatural, and he said warmly: "Sister Baoqin, the car is shaking a little, are you okay?"
Xue Baoqin: "..."
Was the car just shaking a little?
Jia Heng looked at the girl with stunned brows and slightly open mouth. His eyes moved and he moved closer. He pressed his soft lips together again and invaded them, grabbing every inch of the sweetness.
"Brother Heng, eh~" Xue Baoqin straightened up, and his small Qiong nose "thumped" as if struck by thunder. His face was as white as snow and as red as clouds. At this moment, his body was not only soft, but almost soft.
.
Brother Heng is so...I'm sorry to the second sister.
The girl didn't know why, but suddenly such a thought came to her heart.
After a while, Jia Heng stared at the rosy girl and said softly: "Sister Baoqin, this car is shaking a lot."
Bao Qin's pink face with a hint of baby fat was as red as blood, and she said "hmm" as loud as a mosquito. She felt dizzy, her palms were full of sweat, and her thoughts were all over the place for a while, and her heart felt like a mess.
If she and Brother Heng... what will happen to the second sister in the future?
Jia Heng's expression remained normal and he said, "Sister Baoqin, please sit down."
Sometimes the atmosphere has reached, and on a whim, the lips that seemed to be unopened on the pink cheeks just now are slightly warm, and the cherry teeth are sparkling and translucent. In addition, Baoqin's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Baochai's.
, and that "cute and soft" look...
Baoqin responded softly, sat down at the side, lowered his head slightly, twirled a handkerchief, and his mind was almost in a mess.
What should she do next?
Shenjing City, Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall
In the side room, maids and nannies were standing around with their hands down. Jia Mu was sitting on the Arhat bed, talking to Xue Jun, Xue Biao and his son who were visiting.
Aunt Xue and Baochai were sitting on the embroidered pier below to keep each other company. Mrs. Xing, Sister Feng and Li Wan were also not far away to accompany the guests, but Mrs. Wang was not seen.
Xue Jun looked at the white-haired Jia Mu with a smile and asked, "How is your health, old lady?"
A kind smile appeared on Mother Jia's face and she said, "It's very good. I eat well, sleep well, everything is fine."
Then, an old look turned to Xue Biao aside and asked with a smile: "Is this the child Biao'er?"
He secretly said that compared to the previous Xue Pan, he was indeed more handsome and well-behaved.
Xue Biao was a bit shy, so he came forward, bowed, and said warmly: "I've met the old lady, and I kowtow to her."
Seeing this scene, Jia Mu quickly stretched out her hand to support her, nodded, and said with a kind smile, "When you come to Beijing, you are home. Where do you live now?"
"In the house I bought in the early years of Beijing." Xue Yun smiled and replied on behalf of Xue Biao.
The Xue family has many houses in Beijing. In other words, Aunt Xue and Baochai lived in Lixiangyuan originally because they wanted to take advantage of the Jia family's reputation. Otherwise, the orphan and widowed mother would be in charge of the huge imperial merchant business, and they would easily become
The gangster's salivating fat meat.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "That girl Baoqin is lively and lively. I like her very much. I want to let her live in the house for two years so that I can talk to you."
Xue Jun smiled and said: "Old lady, it's more lively here. It's good for Baoqin girl to live here."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "That girl Baoqin wins my heart the most."
Originally, she was somewhat interested in Yu'er's promise to Baoyu in the future, but not long ago, the two of them had a big conflict. How about letting Baoqin give it to Baoyu?
In short, prepare in advance.
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Girl Qin and girl Bao are living in the same courtyard now. Didn't they talk about moving to the garden these days?"
Jia Mu said softly: "I was just about to talk to Brother Heng about this."
She still felt that it was not necessary for Baoyu to live in the garden after it was completed, so that he could study, play with his sisters, and stay in the school all the time.
By the way, Baoyu is still kneeling in the ancestral hall.
Mother Jia thought about this, turned to look at Sister Feng aside, and said, "Girl Feng, go and send someone to Dongfu to see if Brother Heng has come back at noon."
Sister Feng had a bright smile on her pretty face and said in a charming voice: "Don't worry, old lady."
He thought to himself, Brother Heng didn't come back yesterday, and he was tripped up by some vixen again, but Qing didn't care about him, and the third sister You was obviously put into the room by Brother Heng, but he couldn't restrain anyone?
This is too useless.
While everyone was talking, a nanny entered the hall and said, "Old lady, Uncle Heng and Miss Baoqin are back."
After a while, Jia Heng, Bao Qin and Nona came to the hall, and everyone stared at them.
"I've met the old lady." Jia Heng saluted to Jia Mu.
Jia Mu looked at the young man with a smile and said, "Brother Heng, you are back from the Yamen."
Then, his eyes were attracted to Nona beside Jia Heng, and he asked: "Brother Heng, who is this girl?"
Aunt Xue and Mrs. Xing also looked at Nona in surprise, secretly amazed in their hearts.
Li Wan put down the tea cup in his hand and moved his eyes from the face of the boy in the python suit to Nona's face, feeling secretly surprised.
Jia Heng explained: "Old lady, this is the daughter of Sir Bugalu, the governor of Haojing. She originally came to Beijing with her and lived with Portuguese craftsmen."
Jia Mu wondered: "Why are these eyes still blue?"
Yuanyang smiled and said, "Old lady, this is what you were born with."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but cast his gaze on the young man in the python suit. His eyes were full of tenderness, and he immediately lowered his bright eyes.
Sister Feng smiled and said: "Old lady, my appearance is very different from that of the Central Plains."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "I have lived for nearly eighty years, and this is the first time I have seen something like this."
Of course, this is a joke. Just from the few Western self-ringing bells in Jia Mu's house, we can tell that Jia Mu didn't meet people from other countries in the early years.
Nona came to Jia's mother and called out, "I've seen Mrs. Rongguo."
Jia Mu also stood up with Yuanyang's help, looked at Nona, and said with a smile: "Okay, good child, get up quickly."
