Chapter 909 Zhen Xue: Sister is slandering her (Please give me the moon)
Ningguo Mansion, inner study room
The wind shadow outside the window is swaying, and the biting cold wind is blowing the lanterns under the eaves, while the incense-filled interior is as warm as spring, with pale yellow curtains hanging down, and the quilt embroidered with hibiscus flowers seems to be enclosing a tower.
After listening to what Zhen Qing said, Jia Heng looked at the beautiful and gratuitous young woman with a beautiful face, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Judging from the time, Jinyang is pregnant with his first child, but it is not a boy. It is still unknown, but he hopes it is.
He hoped that Jinyang would have both children. After all, Jinyang was old, so these fifteen years would be fine, but when he got older, he would start to think wildly again.
Zhen Qing seemed to have a sore cheek at this moment. She called out to Zhen Xue and said, "Sister, stop looking at me and come here."
She cannot work alone while her sister sits back and enjoys the benefits.
Zhen Xue's beautiful and peaceful jade face was as red as haze. She glanced at Jia Heng with autumn eyes, lowered her head, and had no choice but to respond to Zhen Qing.
Zhen Qing got up, leaned her head on the pillow, and looked at the young man beside her. Under the willow leaves' thin eyebrows, her narrow and clear phoenix eyes showed a little worry, and asked: "Ziyu, what are you going to do next year?"
Fighting with the Jurchens?"
Jia Heng gently stroked a strand of hair on the beauty's face and said warmly: "After the imperial court completely abandoned the peace talks, the war is approaching. I plan to return to Beijing after celebrating the New Year here. I don't expect to come back for a long time. Qing'er
, don’t be too clingy to me.”
Zhen Qing said shyly: "Who is clinging to you? Whether you can love me in Shenjing City, when will I... hmm?"
Suddenly she felt something strange, and she narrowed her beautiful eyes and stared at the young man.
But at this moment, I saw the young man extending his hand silently.
Zhen Qing's cheeks suddenly turned red with embarrassment, she stood up, beat Jia Heng's chest with her pink fist, and said angrily: "You are a dirty child, you know how to abuse others."
Ah, this bastard knows how to make fun of her.
Jia Heng put his arms around Liren's shoulders, held her in his arms, and said softly: "Okay, let's talk about business. You have to wait here for eight months, and the war over there will probably take several months to end.
I’ll see you again after the war is over.”
Zhen Qing leaned her head in Jia Heng's arms and said softly: "You can win, right? I heard that these Dongbu are no better than the North Korean navy during the naval battle in the south. They were all on the grassland in the north.
A warrior who is victorious."
Jia Heng said: "Why, you don't have confidence in me?"
As he said that, his eyes were fixed. Compared to Zhen Qing, who was so hot and arrogant, which made people breathe cold air frequently, Xue'er was obviously as gentle as water, and extremely considerate.
Zhen Qing held Jia Heng's hand and whispered: "If you can win this war, we two will have someone to rely on in the future."
This bastard is so powerful, he will definitely win.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Liaodong cannot be decided in one battle, but the first confrontation is very important and will determine the future direction of the war."
"Then take care of yourself, I'm still waiting for you to be granted the title of Duke or County King." Zhen Qing raised her pretty face, spoke softly, then smiled and said: "When our children reach that position in the future, you
He can also be a prince and regent."
Jia Heng grabbed the snowman helplessly and said, "Okay, let's start talking nonsense again."
Is Mopan trying to "draw a cake in reverse" on him and return it to the regent? Have you not woken up from the dream?
Zhen Qing put her arms around Jia Heng's neck, and under her Cuiyu-like slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes overflowed with charm, and said, "Oh, please tell me why I'm talking nonsense."
She has such good conditions now. She has a child and will be able to do great things in the future.
Jia Heng pinched the beauty's fragrant and tender cheeks and said: "It's not nonsense, it's rebellion. If you can't just rest for a while, you should also learn from Xue'er and do your duty."
Well, Xueer seems to be a little naughty too.
Zhen Qing said softly: "That's all I'm thinking about. Anyway, as a father, you can't be wronged about the child in my belly. He is your eldest son, so you have to be more considerate."
Jia Heng said: "I should go to someone who cares about me, but there is someone who cares more about me than me."
Zhen Qing glanced at the young man with her beautiful eyes and snorted coldly, knowing that this was the person talking about Shenjing.
Jia Heng hugged Zhen Qing and whispered: "Qing'er, let's talk about the future in the future. The things at hand are all a mess, and everything in the future will fall into place."
When Zhen Qing heard this, her heart paused slightly, and she whispered: "Yes, it is indeed a matter of course."
The beauty was so happy that she held Jia Heng's Tianshan plum blossom hand and asked, "How does it compare between me and my sister?"
She is quite confident in this aspect. After all, she is good at music and her fingering skills are superb when playing the guzheng. All she needs to do is graft it on.
Jia Heng's face paused and he whispered: "Each has its own merits, so it's not easy to compare."
"Then I'll let you compare." Zhen Qing snorted softly, then without saying anything else, she snuck into bed.
Jia Heng's expression changed slightly, and he immediately took a deep breath and began to think about his next plan.
The news of the vacancies for officials in the Third Division has been released. Next, we need to make arrangements for the governor of Anhui, and first go to see Li Shouzhong.
After a long time, Zhen Qing raised her face, looked at the young man with a thoughtful look on his face, and said angrily: "You are quite at ease."
As he spoke, his hands as dexterous as butterflies spread out his skirt.
Jia Heng frowned and whispered: "You still have a child, so don't make trouble."
Is this millstone so addictive?
Zhen Qing leaned into Jia Heng's ear and whispered a few words.
Jia Heng's eyes narrowed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Don't be too ridiculous."
Is it true that he stood up and pedaled when others were reluctant to ride? Now all he had to do was send the King of Chu to sing "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" outside the door.
"Now you are feeling pity for me. Why didn't you tell me when you were Princess Jianben?" Zhen Qing said shyly, but with a sweet heart.
She could clearly feel that since she had this bastard's child, he truly regarded her as his own woman in his heart.
Jia Heng pulled Zhen Qing over and stopped Zhen Xue who was busy. He looked helpless and said, "I don't know what you are planning."
After all, it is different from men. Of course, poisonous women like the feeling of being dominated and conquered by him.
Zhen Qing glanced at the young man coldly and said, "Do you love me or not?"
Zhen Xue stood up now, and looked at Jia Heng with a shy look on her face, and said in a soft and soft voice: "Sister, she is still pregnant, Ziyu, don't be too ridiculous."
Jia Heng said softly: "Xue'er, don't worry, I'm measured."
Seeing this, Zhen Xue didn't say much else and just let the two of them mess around.
After a long time...
In this way, Jia Heng, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue were tired for a while, and whispered: "Okay, it's getting late. If you stay any longer, others will become suspicious."
This is not like being in a cubicle on the Shinkansen subway or in an office, where others turn a blind eye. If you stay there for a long time, people outside will notice.
Zhen Qing stood up and straightened her slightly messy clothes. She felt the grinding force and said angrily: "You bastard... you are like an animal."
Jia Heng ignored Zhen Qing, knowing that the poisonous woman just wanted his comfort.
Zhen Xue's pink cheeks were as red as clouds, her eyes were as full as water, and she said softly: "Ziyu, the concubine in Shenjing said she wanted to go south to see her child. Recently, due to heavy snowfall in the northern provinces, the roads were inconvenient, so she was blocked.
Couldn’t make the trip.”
Jia Heng plastic surgery calmed down and said: "Actually, it doesn't look like anything. You have a child now. No matter what, the past is not your fault."
Zhen Qing balled up the handkerchief and threw it aside. With her bright and beautiful face, she said, "Sister, she is worried that the child is not a boy."
Jia Heng thought for a while, looked at Zhen Xue who glanced at Zhen Qing angrily, took the beauty's hand, and said softly: "Xue'er, don't worry too much."
It's hard to say whether it's a boy or a girl.
Zhen Xue leaned her head against Jia Heng's arms and murmured: "Ziyu, I hope it's a boy."
In fact, she also wants a boy.
Jia Heng said a few words of relief, stood up, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for the two of them, handed it over, and said: "It's almost noon, you guys pack up and go have dinner later."
After saying that, he got up, stood in front of the bronze mirror and straightened his clothes. Under his sword-shaped eyebrows, his deep eyes were calm and calm. He walked slowly around the mountain and river screen, came to the outside, looked at the sky, and saw that he didn't know when.
The winter sun hangs in the middle of the sky, shining brightly. Some of the snow from the southern country still remains on the eaves and pavilions, while the melted snow water falls on the bluestone slabs like broken pearls.
Zhen Qing took the tea cup, took a sip, looked at Zhen Xue, who had a beautiful face and soft eyebrows, and said softly: "Sister, let's get up too."
Zhen Xue said "Oh" and said softly: "Sister, Ziyu is indeed very important this year and after."
"I know." A serious look appeared on Zhen Qing's crystal clear face. She took Zhen Xue's hand and said, "Whether our sisters can stay together with him in the future depends entirely on his battle. If he
If something goes wrong, who will our sisters turn to for support in the future?"
Zhen Xue whispered: "If he is no longer in power, won't my sister dislike him?"
"Why do I dislike him?" Zhen Qing raised her eyebrows and said with a sneer: "In the worst case, we can just keep him. At that time, let him serve our two sisters. It will be much better than my sister usually looking for jade."
Zhen Xue: "..."
No, when did she? My sister was slandering her, slandering her.
Zhen Qing said softly: "Let's wait until next year. We can't help much. We need to take good care of the baby first and then give birth to the child."
She felt that with that bastard's skills, even if he was really defeated, he wouldn't be totally doomed and would at most sink for a while.
It’s just that it’s not easy to hang out with him as unscrupulously as he is now.
I hope that day doesn't happen.
Jia Heng washed his hands in search of a well and came to the backyard hall. At this moment, Yuan Chun and Shui Xin were sitting on the Arhat bed covered with mattresses, playing with an orange cat and stroking its soft fur.
"Meow meow~~" The fat orange in Yuan Chun's hand kept meowing. Shui Xin also reached out to caress it and said with a smile: "Auntie, this cat is so beautiful."
Yuan Chun chuckled and said, "Xinxin, how about I give this cat to you?"
Shui Xin said happily: "Okay."
Suddenly, the smile on his face gradually faded away, and he said sadly: "When I was at home, my grandma was not allowed to keep cats."
"Why aren't cats allowed?" Yuanchun asked in surprise.
Shui Xin pursed her lips and said, "Grandma said it affects the family's ability to have children."
When Yuanchun heard this, he looked thoughtful.
In fact, she was also a little surprised. Princess Beijing had been childless for several years, so how could she suddenly have a child? It was really a bit strange.
"Daddy." Shui Xin said, suddenly caught a glimpse of Jia Heng, stretched out his little hand, and called him.
Yuan Chun's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and there was a hint of trance in her beautiful eyes. A thought faintly flashed through her mind, but she couldn't catch it.
Jia Heng knelt down, picked up the little Loli, smiled and said, "Xinxin just calls her godfather."
If you always call me daddy, if it falls into the ears of others, you may have some bad associations.
Shui Xin's cheeks were filled with a smile, and she said softly, "But my godfather didn't call me daddy to kiss me. He was already pregnant."
The godfather seems to still have the aura of his aunt and mother. Is this something he just got?
Jia Heng looked at the pink little Lolita and chuckled, "Just call her in private, Xinxin."
Shui Xinnuo said: "Daddy, only my mother and I and daddy call each other."
Jia Heng pinched little Loli Fendudu's cheek and said with a smile: "You are smart."
"Dad, my mother hired a master to teach me. My fingers are sore from playing with the guzheng these days." Shui Xin said in a soft voice.
Jia Heng whispered: "Let me see, why are you sore?"
As he said that, he picked up his tender little hand, which was as delicate as an onion, and said fondly: "It's a little red. Why doesn't Xinxin learn music theory first?"
At this time, in the education of aristocratic children, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting were indeed compulsory courses, and some girls might even take a minor in dance.
"Dad, can you tell mother that I don't want to practice that piano?" Shui Xin put her two white hands around Jia Heng's neck and said coquettishly.
Jia Heng held the little Loli and sat on the pearwood chair, smiled and said: "That's not possible. Xinxin should learn some music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that she can be versatile. When she grows up, she will be able to support others."
When Shui Xin heard this, her cheeks were slightly ashamed, and pink lips appeared on her white cheeks. She said sweetly: "I don't want to marry anyone else. I want to be with my father and mother forever."
Jia Heng: "..."
But I didn’t take it seriously. Children are like this. They always think about forever, but they don’t know the meaning of the word forever.
Shui Xin suddenly blinked her childish eyes, looked at Jia Heng seriously, and said softly: "Dad, is it because mother has a baby that you don't like Xin Xin anymore?"
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to scrape the bridge of Shui Xin's nose and said, "Your mother is the one who loves you the most."
As he spoke, he looked at Yuanchun, who was smiling and had a bright smile, and said softly: "Sister, please tell the kitchen to cook."
Yuan Chun smiled and asked: "Don't worry, Brother Heng. I have already given the instructions. By the way, why are the two princesses not here?"
Previously, the three of us went to the study together, but Hengdi came here alone now.
"There are official documents from the imperial court for the two princesses to look at. They should still be looking at them at this moment." Jia Heng's expression remained unchanged, he explained softly, changed the subject and said: "Sister, let's have a meal together later.
After dinner, I have to go to Li Mansion to meet Li Shibo in the afternoon."
In the afternoon, he would go to see Li Shouzhong again.
Yuanchun said softly: "Go to Uncle Li's house. Have you prepared any gifts for Brother Heng?"
"Let the warehouse pick out a few elegant and new items. If they are too expensive, Li Shibo may not like them," Jia Heng said.
Yuan Chun nodded and asked with concern: "Brother Heng, are things here in Jiangnan still difficult?"
"It's not too difficult. I should have been able to sort out a rough outline a year ago." Jia Heng smiled, looking a little calm.
After a while, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue also packed up. Zhen Qing was dressed in a vermilion dress, walking gracefully and gracefully, like a peony flower with a charming core, and on her face with melon seeds, her snowy face and jade skin appeared.
Mei Hong was dizzy and called out: "Brother Heng, I've been waiting for a long time."
Jia Heng glanced at Zhen Qing and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he whispered: "Princess, please sit down."
It can only be said that Mopan's physique is indeed extraordinary and durable.
Yuan Chun raised his eyes and took a look at Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that the two princesses had softer eyebrows and more radiant appearance than before, and they exuded an indescribable aura in their movements
Charming and charming.
Zhen Qing looked at Jia Heng steadily and said: "Brother Heng, please leave the prince's affairs to Brother Heng."
As the saying goes, Zhen Qing does everything in her acting, no matter how good her acting skills are, her attitude is beyond words and she has always been dedicated.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Princess."
Then he looked at Princess Beijing and warned: "Prince Beijing has also set a quota for the navy in Hangzhou, and it must be delivered back as soon as possible. We cannot delay the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household's salary determination after the new year."
Zhen Xue's beautiful eyes were as soft as water, and her voice was soft and waxy as she said, "Thank you for your hard work."
When Yuan Chun saw this, he didn't doubt his presence and said, "Two princesses, Hengdi, please eat first."
Everyone sat down, had lunch, and then drank tea and talked.
After that, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue did not stay much longer, letting Shui Xin continue to stay at Ning Guo Mansion, and ordered their mammy and maid to leave Ning Guo Mansion.
Jia Heng took a bath and changed into a python suit, then headed to Li Shouzhong's Mansion accompanied by the guards of Jinyi Mansion.
Jinling, Li Zhai
In the study room, the old man was sitting on the chair behind the bookcase, staring at a famous calligraphy in his hand in a daze.
As an official who had served in Nanjing's Imperial College, Li Shouzhong vaguely guessed some of Jia Heng's intentions during Jia Heng's frequent visits.
Li Shouzhong looked at the famous post, stood up, and came to the window to look at the strong pine branches in the courtyard and the snow on the lush pine branches. His eyes were focused for a while, thinking.
If he guessed correctly, Jia Ziyu planned to use him to serve as an important official in the newly-established Anhui Province.
During this period of time, he was also very quiet and thoughtful, and he had the intention of going out. Maybe it was an opportunity to go to the left king and lead to the land of Yao and Shun.
At that time, when the young prince of Jia Jiarong Mansion was there, he arranged the marriage between Li Shouzhong's daughter Li Wan and Jia Zhu, in order to undermine the inherent impression of the Jia family as a martial arts family.
Later, Jia Zhu did what he expected and entered school early (passed the examination to become a scholar), but in the end... the sky never stopped.
In fact, it can be seen that Li Shouzhong does not exclude the complementary resources of contact or even marriage with Wu Xun.
Li Shouzhong's thoughts were racing. He turned around and looked at the calligraphy and painting hanging on the opposite wall. There was a couplet on it.
If Jia Heng were here, he would definitely be a little surprised.
Because it was exactly what Jia Heng once mentioned in the court, "to seek profit...".
This has also been passed down by word of mouth through newspapers and even officials, and has become Li Shouzhong's recent motto.
"Ziyu is a decent man. Although he was born into a poor family of Wu Xun, it can be seen in Henan, Huai'an and Jinling that he has a sincere heart for state affairs. He must not be regarded as a cruel official or a sycophantic minister." Li Shouzhong thought,
"Moreover, the Li and Jia families were originally a family of in-laws. They both prospered and suffered losses. Not long ago, Lin Ruhai, who is also an in-law, came to Beijing. I think it will be of great use."
And thinking about this, the last trace of hesitation in Li Shouzhong's head was completely gone.
Although Jiangnan Qingliu has a good reputation, over the years, it has formed cliques for selfish interests and excluded dissidents, which runs counter to the saint's teachings of being honest and upright, serving the public, and helping the world and the people.
"Father." At this moment, Li Shouzhong's youngest son, who was also Li Wan's only brother, Li Xu quickly entered the hall, raised his hands to Li Shouzhong and said: "Father, Jiahou is here and is already waiting for father in the flower hall in the front yard.
"
Li Shouzhong stood up, with a straight face, and said, "I'll go meet him."
While talking, he left the inner study and walked toward the outside.
