Chapter 880 Bao Qin: She can no longer be sorry to her second sister
Grand View Garden
Qin Keqing, the three You sisters, Fengping, Yingtanxi Sanchun, Lanxi, Baoqin and others went from the covered bridge of Qinfang River in Huifang Garden to play in the garden.
Qin Keqing looked at the snowy scene in the distance and said, "Husband, this place is more beautiful and wider than Huifang Garden."
Jia Heng said: "Huifang Garden is a small garden, so it is far inferior."
When Qin Keqing heard this, her beautiful face paused slightly, and her beautiful eyes glanced at the young man.
She thought to herself that this garden was used by her husband to hide his beauty in a golden house. How do you think she doesn’t know that?
Of course, as the mistress of Ningguo Mansion, she couldn't live like those little girls. If she moved into the garden and lived there, what would she be like?
As everyone walked around a rocky mountain, their eyes suddenly opened up.
It is surrounded by white walls and weeping willows on a white embankment. Because it is winter, the green leaves are withered and the bare branches are covered with snowflakes. The three gates with weeping flowers in front of us are majestic and majestic. They are surrounded by hand-curved verandahs, a corridor leading to each other, and dotted with rocks on both sides.
, five buildings, this is the original site of Yihongyuan.
Everyone looked at the eaves and pavilions, and they were all secretly amazed.
Jia Heng entered the room, raised his eyes to look at the lintel, and saw that it was empty, with no plaque inscribed on it.
He doesn't like Yihongyuan very much. As for the names of other buildings, they are quite appropriate, and they can use the names of the original authors.
Sister Feng rolled her eyes under Liu Ye's eyebrows and said with a sweet smile: "Brother Heng, this is a place where Brother Heng can live every day and relax. You can write a plaque and let the craftsmen engrave it and hang it up later."
Just like red fragrant green jade, it was later changed to Yihong Kuailu by Yuanchun, and was later named Yihongyuan.
Qin Keqing also looked at Jia Heng intently and said softly: "Husband, please think of a name."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "You can live in Qichi under Hengmen. Just ask someone to inscribe the four characters Hengmen Qichi on the lintel. From now on, this place will be called Qichi Courtyard."
This is a sentence in the Book of Songs, which means to be content even if you are in a humble house or hiding in a shabby room.
Baochai said softly: "Qi Chi means swimming and breathing. Brother Heng is really simple and clear."
Daiyu's starry eyes flashed and she looked at the young man, with a hint of joy on her pretty face.
Tan Chun smiled and said: "Brother Heng, this name is indifferent and elegant."
Bao Qin stared at the young man and didn't know what he was thinking of. That face, as pink as snow, had a peach blossom blush, which was bright and moving.
Zhen Lan held Zhen Xi's little hand and said, "Sister, the environment here is quiet. My sister can live here in the future."
Zhen Xi pulled her sister's hand shyly and said to herself that her sister didn't know how to keep her voice down.
In fact, Jia Heng definitely does not live in the garden most of the time, while Zhen Xi and Zhen Lan mostly live in Qichiyuan.
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "Husband, there is a pavilion over there."
Jia Heng said: "Go over and have a look."
While talking, everyone walked along a corridor. Since the servants had already cleared the snow, there was no mud or wetness on the cobblestone path.
The pavilion is located on the hillside beside Qinfang River. The four vermilion beams and pillars are brand new with red paint, and the black-green eaves and tiles are covered with snow. Because some of it has melted, the four sides are like hanging curtains of water.
Sister Feng smiled and asked: "Brother Heng, what is the name of this pavilion?"
Jia Heng said without thinking: "Since it is by the Qinfang River, it is better to call it Qinfang Pavilion."
Because it is next to Qinfang River, the name of this pavilion is appropriate.
Except for the fact that Yihongyuan is too similar to a brothel and needs to be modified, the rest is still original, and he feels that it feels more immersive.
Well, it's all Xian Ning's fault. He insisted on doing any kind of acting, but now he has a sense of immersion.
The others didn't have any objections and let Jia Heng inscribe the name. Or rather, it was originally Jia Heng, the patriarch of the Ning and Rong mansions, who should inscribe the plaque for the pavilion.
Jia Heng inscribed the plaques such as "Feng Lai Yi" as in the original work. As for the name of Cucui'an at the beginning of the drawing planning, as for the plaques in various halls, Miaoyu should be inscribed on them.
Everyone walked through the mountains and bridges, chatting and laughing, followed a gravel path to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and stopped in front of the courtyard.
Jia Heng looked at the lush bamboo forest surrounded by bamboo leaves covered with snow, turned to look at Daiyu, and asked for advice: "What does Sister Lin think of this place?"
Hearing this, everyone cast their inexplicable glances at Daiyu.
Daiyu Chunshan, with her plump eyebrows and smoky eyebrows, looked around from her starry eyes and said with a chuckle: "The mountains and rocks surround the pavilion, and the bamboo rustles, which makes it quite quiet."
Brother Heng had told her before that this place was called Xiaoxiang Pavilion and it was built specifically for her. Now looking at the surrounding scenery, it does seem to suit her temperament.
Really thoughtful.
There were ripples in Baochai's moist apricot eyes, and he said: "I see that this place is quite suitable for Qi'er's interests."
Qin Keqing's snow-skinned face smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Lin will live here from now on."
This is the garden that my husband built specially for Sister Lin. It is really a garden that he took great pains to build.
At this time, Third Sister You held Second Sister You's hand and glanced at Chai Dai. Under her curved eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were flowing, and her heart was secretly smiling.
After everyone finished speaking, they did not enter the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but walked along the covered bridge towards another cool tile house with the same colored brick walls and clear tiles and flowers.
Everyone walked around an exquisite mountain rock, and saw five buildings with verandahs on all sides, green windows and painted walls. Under the flower wall were planted various kinds of wisteria, Xueli and Duruohengwu. Because it was winter, there was no green smoke.
.
Jia Heng turned to look at Baochai on the side, looked at the lintel, and said: "But with the title Heng Zhi Qingfen, Sister Xue and Sister Baoqin can usually live here."
Baochai was also looking at the scenery at this moment, and was secretly satisfied. Previously there were no flowers and trees, and they were not luxurious, but when the spring and summer season came, the flowers and trees inside were fragrant and distant.
From now on it will be her boudoir residence.
Baoqin took Baochai's bare hand, feeling a little happy. She looked around at the scenery and said, "Second sister, this place is really beautiful and luxurious."
From now on, she will live with her sister in Hengwu Garden, and Brother Heng...
Everyone went in and took a look, but they also didn't stop. While Jia Heng was talking, he led a group of orioles to play around with other buildings in the garden.
Because there was a plaque inscribed on it, I did not appreciate it in detail, but just browsed it briefly, leaving it for the girls to explore slowly after they settled in the garden.
As for Zhujin Tower, Daoxiang Village, Qiu Shuangzhai... the names that came out of Jia Heng's mouth were regarded as naming each courtyard.
After only 56% of the swim, it was already dusk, and the girls' cheeks were rosy and their bodies were slightly sweaty.
Qin Keqing said softly: "Husband, is it almost done? It's getting cold now and the cold wind is blowing. It's no joke."
Along the way, we talked and laughed, and the beauty felt a little happy.
Jia Heng said: "Then let's go back first, and then we can play again when we have time."
Sister Feng smiled and said: "Ping'er, have you written down the name on the plaque that the uncle just ordered?"
Ping'er said: "Grandma, I have written it all down, and I will ask the craftsman to make a plaque and hang it up later."
Jia Heng turned to look at the three You sisters, Chai Dai, Lan Xi, Ying Xi, Tan Chun, Bao Qin and Nona, and said: "It's getting late, we can't finish shopping today, wait until tomorrow
Let’s go shopping when you have time.”
A group of warblers were talking, still discussing in twos and threes, and seemed to be quite unfinished.
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "Husband, go to Tianxiang Tower, a dinner party has been arranged there."
This garden is where these girls live, and she can usually live in Tianxiang Tower, and then use what kind of "telescope" her husband brought to climb up and watch her husband having sex with other people?
The beauty was thinking wildly, and followed Jia Heng to Tianxiang Pavilion. At this moment, strings of lanterns were lit in the pavilion, and the lanterns were bright and glowing like the clouds.
The dinner party had been laid out long ago, and a group of maids and nannies were waiting for it.
The ladies in hairdresses and coats sat down one after another, and according to their usual temperament, they sat together in twos and threes, discussing the scenery in the garden happily.
Under the illumination of the lights, the beaded faces and the emerald jewelry are shining, colorful, and the eyes are beautiful, and the smiles on each face are almost dazzling.
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Qin Keqing said softly: "Husband, will you let all the girls move in tomorrow?"
Jia Heng said: "Well, it's not a good idea to leave the garden idle."
Qin Keqing smiled and asked, "Where is your husband?"
Jia Heng said softly: "I won't go there yet."
And just when Jia Heng was leading everyone to enjoy the garden and the scenery in a relaxed and comfortable way, in the Jia family ancestral hall——
A lamp is like a bean, swaying uncertainly.
Mrs. Wang was sitting on the bank of a few eucalyptus trees not far from the ancestral hall, copying Buddhist scriptures.
The young man wearing red arrow sleeves and a purple gold crown with tied hair on his head has a face full of depression and depression, just like the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
During the few days when Baoyu was kneeling in the ancestral hall, Mrs. Wang came to accompany him. During these two days, he planned to copy a Buddhist scripture to Jia Mu and Jia Zheng to pray for them.
Baoyu looked at Xiangyun who was grinding and asked, "Why didn't Sister Yun follow Sister Lin and the others to the garden to enjoy?"
I don’t know what the scenery is like in the garden. I heard that the pavilions, pavilions, flowers and grass inside are like a fairyland.
Xiangyun said: "Brother Ai (2) is quite bored here. I'll come over to stay with brother Ai."
There are too many people in the garden right now, so it’s not too late to watch it later.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang smiled on her fair face and said, "Sister Yun is a good person."
Following Baoyu's previous incident of smashing jade, Daiyu moved to Ningguo Mansion. For a time, except for the newly arrived Li Wen and Li Qi, only Xiangyun remained in the entire Rongguo Mansion.
Because Li Wen and Li Qi listened to their cousin Li Wan's instructions and almost walked around Baoyu, Baoyu seemed to have no playmates except Xiangyun for a while.
As for Baochai and Baoqin, Aunt Xue is currently focused on how to make her daughter marry Jia Heng in a glamorous manner. There is no word about a golden match at all in the house.
Baoqin was new here, and because she had been in Haojing before, she had a closer relationship with Jiaheng. Not long after she arrived, she saw Baoyu going crazy, so she kept a distance from her.
Mrs. Wang immediately discovered that her son, who was once a favorite, had gradually become a loathsome person.
Even though Mrs. Wang had made up her mind to let Baoyu study hard and enter school as soon as possible, she was inevitably a little disappointed in her heart.
Just then, a maid came in and said, "Madam, the old lady has sent for Miss Yun and Mr. Bao to come over for dinner."
Mrs. Wang said: "Baoyu, don't copy it yet."
Baoyu seemed to be waking up from a dream, and put the brush on the pen holder. His hands and wrists were sore for a while, which made Mrs. Wang feel distressed for a while.
At this moment, in the Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu was washing her hands under the service of Yuanyang, and asked: "Have you sent someone to deliver the letter to the Marquis Mansion?"
Yuanyang said: "Send it off. Mr. Shi said that he will bring Mr. Shi Xiaohou with him tomorrow."
Baoling Hou Shi Nai is in the capital at the moment, and as the Chinese New Year is approaching, Shi Xin is also in Shi Hou's mansion.
Jia Mu nodded and said: "Brother Xin is now transferred back to the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, which is closer to home. It will be cheaper to take care of the family in the future."
While they were talking, the nun outside said: "Old lady, Second Grandma and Second Master Bao, Miss Yun is here."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Let the two of them come over."
After a while, Mrs. Wang entered the hall holding Baoyu's hand and greeted Jia Mu.
Mother Jia's loving eyes fell on Baoyu's face, which was as white as a silver basin, and she said distressedly: "My Baoyu has lost weight and is much haggard. Are you hungry?"
Baoyu came close enough, broke into Jia Mu's arms, and said: "Old ancestor."
Jia Mu patted Baoyu on the shoulder and said, "I have told you, Brother Heng, that I will kneel over there for two days and copy the Four Books and Five Classics, and this matter will be over."
Baoyu said coquettishly: "Ancestor, I heard that the garden in Dongfu has been renovated and it is quieter and more elegant. Ancestor, I want to move in and study."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "You have to tell your brother Heng about this. I'll talk to him later."
When Baoyu heard this, he was slightly happy.
Ningguo Mansion
Jia Heng had a dinner with a group of orioles in Tianxiang Tower, and returned to the study without staying much longer. He had just sat down and was about to pick up a brush and write a memorial.
Suddenly, a girl's soft voice came from outside: "Is Brother Heng in the house?"
Jia Heng's face paused, he put down the brush in his hand, and looked towards the door. He saw a plump little chubby girl with smooth skin coming from behind a brocade screen. She was wearing a scarlet cloak and had a baby-fat face.
Xue Nui's face was lightly flushed.
There is no trace of the characteristics of a foreign country in the girl's eyebrows, eyes, and features. After all, you can't go to a foreign country as a child and even your innate genes will be changed.
On the contrary, Bao Qin is somewhat similar to Bao Chai's classical graceful charm, with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and the skin on her cheeks looks even whiter and pinker.
"It's Sister Baoqin, why are you here?" Jia Heng asked.
Baoqin raised her eyes to look at the young man, then quickly looked away, licked her pink lips, and whispered: "Brother Heng, what did daddy say?"
Jia Heng picked up the teapot from the small table and poured Bao Qin a cup of tea. He said warmly: "I've already advised you, don't rush for another year or two."
When Bao Qin heard this, her plump and pink face suddenly showed a look of joy. She came closer and asked, "What did Brother Heng say? Daddy agreed?"
Jia Heng stared at the expectant look in his bright eyes and said, "Yes, I agreed. I will let my sister come over in one or two years."
Baoqin: "..."
"Brother Heng." Bao Qinfang's heart skipped a beat, and there was a bit of shame and anger in her bright eyes.
Jia Heng was originally joking, but after hearing this, he reached out and took the girl's delicate hand, and said softly: "It's okay, the wedding has not been decided yet."
Baoqin let out a "hmm", her plump and white face turned red with shame, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, don't mess around... don't let my sister see you."
Brother Heng will kiss her again later, what should she do?
Jia Heng: "???"
You obviously didn't do anything, why don't you let Baochai see it?
Moreover, what Bao Qin said is very problematic. Does it mean that if you don’t see it, you can do whatever you want?
Jia Heng stared at the rosy girl, took Baoqin and sat on the embroidered pier, and said softly: "Come over and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up. What are you doing?"
With that said, he picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Bao Qin. He didn't have any frivolous intentions. The atmosphere on the carriage was indeed high and the moment was passionate.
"Thank you, Brother Heng." Bao Qin's soft and picturesque eyebrows lowered shyly, she said softly, and her mind settled down.
Jia Heng said warmly: "You and your sister Bao live in Hengwuyuan and have fun for a year or two. There is no need to rush before the wedding."
Bao Qin said softly, "Hmm", pursed her pink lips, and wanted to ask, what happened before?
After all, he was too shy to say anything. He thought about it and said, "Brother Heng, why don't Nona live in the garden these days? I live with her, and she doesn't play well with other people.
"
Jia Heng sat back on the chair and said, "Well, that's fine, but she probably won't want to live in the garden. The customs and customs here are different."
Baoqin said "Hmm" and looked at the young man who was concentrating on writing something. The eyes under the resolute eyebrows seemed to be hiding a sharp sword. His face was as calm as Xuanshui, and the skin-to-skin contact during the carriage was completely missing.
The tyranny of time.
Bao Qin looked at it for a long time and felt his heart beating a little. He asked curiously: "Brother Heng, what are you doing?"
Jia Heng dipped his pen in ink, looked at the girl, and said softly: "Write a memorial and deliver it to the palace tomorrow."
"Oh." Baoqin said no more, held his hat in one hand, and looked at the young man, his almond-shaped eyes trembling.
She didn't know why, but she couldn't help but peek at Brother Heng in the garden before, and she almost... almost got discovered by her sister.
But she couldn't help but look at Brother Heng's face, especially when everyone was joking earlier.
In fact, this is when a group of people laugh, and everyone can't help but cast their eyes on the face of the person they like.
Jia Heng wrote a memorial, put down the brush, and let the ink dry on it. He was silent for a moment, and then turned to look at the moist apricot eyes that were the god of autumn water. His eyebrows and eyes were almost the same as Baochai's. It's no wonder that he had been temporarily distracted earlier.
It's very affectionate, but we can't lose the handkerchief again?
"Baoqin."
"Brother Heng, what's wrong?" Bao Qinfang's heart skipped a beat, her eyes averted, and as she spoke, she suddenly whispered: "I...I'm going back first."
He stood up gently and was about to leave when he saw the young man standing up and walking towards him, as if there were roots under his feet.
Jia Heng picked up the red cloak that Bao Qin had taken off at some point and said warmly: "It's cold outside, don't forget to put this on."
Baoqin said "hmm", but saw that the young man was already draping the cloak behind him, with his head slightly lowered and tied with the rope of the cloak. Well, he even tied a bow?
"Okay." It felt like the breeze caressing the willows in my ears, causing ripples in the lake in my heart.
Facing those gentle eyes, Bao Qin's voice was a bit stuttering, and his expression was a bit soft and cute. He grabbed the corner of the big cloak with one hand and whispered: "Brother Heng, then...then...I'll leave first."
"Well, let's go." Jia Heng said softly, looking at the shy and timid eyebrows, seeming to capture the deepest part of the girl's heart, the faint expectation that she didn't want to admit, and said: "Wait a minute."
Bao Qinfang's heart skipped a beat, her eyes flickered, and she said in surprise: "What, uh~"
Suddenly seeing the gentle and soft figure wrapped in a bit of heat approaching, Baoqin quickly closed his bright eyes, and then the familiar breath came to him again. Compared with the first time, it was more unscrupulous, and he felt that there was no way to escape, like a vine wrapped around him.
The girl's plump and soft body gradually collapsed in the boy's arms, feeling like a small boat in the turbulent waves, drifting with the current, almost without knowing where it was going.
After a while, Jia Heng looked at the girl with plump jade cheeks that were as red as clouds, gently pinched her pink and peach blossom cheeks, and teased: "Sister Baoqin won't tell your sister, right?"
Baoqin's moist apricot eyes under Liuye's slender eyebrows overflowed with shame and joy. Qiong snorted and said: "Brother Heng, I...I can't do it."
After saying this, she suddenly woke up, and the girl's heart suddenly felt extremely shy.
This... what on earth was she saying in front of Brother Heng? She could no longer feel sorry for her second sister.
At this moment, Tanchun's charming and heroic voice came from outside the house, saying, "Is Brother Heng in the house?"
Baoqin said "Yeah" and quickly got up from Jia Heng's arms, came to sit on the chair beside him, and breathed slightly.
Jia Heng's expression remained normal. He picked up the tea cup from the small table and took a sip. He raised his eyes to look at Tan Chun and Zhen Lan coming from the screen, and his eyes became quiet.
"Third sister and sister Lan, why don't you play mahjong with them for a while?" Jia Heng asked.
Because winter nights are long and it gets dark very early, it is actually still early in the morning, so it is still early to go to bed.
Zhen Lan looked at the boy in the python suit and said softly: "Come here and see if Brother Heng needs any help?"
Then, he looked at Baoqin who was sitting with his head bowed. Seeing the suspicion in his narrow eyes, he chuckled and said, "Sister Baoqin is here too?"
Bao Qin's plump cheeks were as red as a blush. Fortunately, because of the light, she couldn't notice any obvious abnormalities. She whispered: "I came to see Brother Heng for something. Brother Heng, I'm going back first."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Well, Sister Baoqin, please go slower on the road."
When he raised his eyes, he watched Bao Qin leave in a panic.
Tanchun's eyes flickered, and he felt a little suspicious, but he didn't ask. He walked closer and asked with the flickering candlelight on the candlestick: "Brother Heng is writing a poem?"
Jia Heng nodded, and did not hide anything from the two of them. He wrote lightly: "Resigned from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division."
Tanchun was startled, raised his bright eyes, and whispered: "What's wrong with Brother Heng?"
As Tanchun, who had often helped Jia Heng handle documents before, he spent many times checking the official documents delivered by the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
Zhen Lan also cast her long, narrow, clear eyes on Jia Heng's face, feeling inexplicably surprised.
You have just been granted the title of first-class Marquis of Wu, why do you want to resign from the post of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division?
"I have been busy fighting against the captives for the past two years. I really can't find time to take care of the affairs of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. After resigning, I can concentrate on fighting against the captives." Jia Heng explained.
After hearing this, Zhen Lan thought about it and asked with concern: "Will the palace agree?"
Could it be that he is avoiding trouble? Brother Keheng is now a popular person in front of the Emperor. Isn't it too early to avoid trouble now?
Jia Heng took a sip of tea, suppressed the sweetness in his heart, and said: "The palace should also hope that I will do my best to deal with the captors."
After resigning from the post of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities, the only remaining posts were the Crown Prince, Taibao, Minister of War, Minister of Military Aircraft, Governor of Jinyi, Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp, and Supervisor of Ordnance. All of the above assignments were made for the purpose of fighting against the captives.
Zhen Lan thought for a while and asked: "When Mr. Yang Ge resigned from the position of chief minister, will the imperial government have any impact on the war against the captives?"
Jia Heng pondered and said: "No matter who is the leader or assistant, the national policy has been established and cannot be changed without authorization."
But he didn't know whether people in the Zhejiang Party would be willing to do so in a secretive way.
Jia Heng said, picked up the brush and began to write words and praises recommending the King of Wei to appoint the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
Zhen Lan didn't say anything else, picked up a book and read it by the light, while Tan Chun also picked up the military book and started reading.
The candle burned silently, and the candle flame was bright, and the night was getting darker.
