Baochai took Daiyu's hand and sat on the kang couch, and said softly: "It should be here soon, it will only be in the next two days."
She vaguely heard the news that Uncle Lin would go to Beijing to report on his duties this time. He might be appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs, a third-rank official, and an important minister in the court. Compared with Yan'er, the support her family could provide him would undoubtedly be inferior.
On many.
There was a look of sadness on Daiyu's beautiful face, and she said softly: "Dad has been in Southern Province for so many years, and he suddenly returned to the capital. I don't know if my body is used to the climate here."
Baochai smiled and said: "It should be okay. Although it is dry and cold here, it is still warm. It will be much better when the flowers bloom next spring."
Daiyu sighed softly and lowered her head in response.
Baochai said: "I don't know how he is doing."
Daiyu raised her head, looked at the pink-cheeked girl, and said: Sister Bao is also thinking about Brother Heng?"
"How can I not miss you?" Baochai said with a chuckle, took Daiyu's bare hand and said, "If my sister is bored in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, you can come over and find me."
When Daiyu agreed, the maid Xiren said: "Girl, Ruizhu in the front yard said that the uncle has delivered a letter and said it would be delivered to each room."
Hearing this, Daiyu glanced at Baochai and said softly: "Send my letter here."
Baochai chuckled lightly and said to Ying'er: "Go and get the letter."
After a while, the attacker came back from outside, holding two letters in his hand. He handed them over and said, "Miss Bao, Miss Lin, letters."
Then he handed it to two people according to the names on it.
Daiyu glanced at the letter in Baochai's hand, with a smile in her eyes, and said, "Sister, please open it and take a look."
"Huh?" A look of surprise appeared on Baochai's face. She put the letter aside and said with a soft smile, "There's no rush to open it later. If my sister wants to open the letter, just open it and read it."
As he spoke, he picked up the butter tea on the side, took a sip, and stared at the girl with moist apricot eyes.
Daiyu pursed her pink lips, smiled and said, "Then I'll take it apart and read it."
I don’t know why, but opening the letter in front of Sister Bao seems to have a different feeling.
As he spoke, he opened the envelope and began to read the words on it. As he became absorbed in it, bursts of joy and sweetness filled his heart.
This made Baochai feel a little uncomfortable, especially when he saw that shy and timid face. He couldn't help but put down the tea cup, picked up the envelope, hesitated for a moment, and then started to open it.
And for a while, I was immersed in the words on it.
The wording of Jia Heng's letter was actually very simple. He asked about Baochai's current situation, asked about his diet, and briefly mentioned the date of his return.
At this moment, Baochai read the letter with satisfaction and put it into the envelope again. A faint blush appeared on her plump and white face. Then she raised her eyes and met a pair of charming stars with a bright smile.
eye.
"Sister Bao, let me take a look at yours." Daiyu pursed her pink lips and said softly.
She didn't know why. She knew that reading Sister Bao's letter would make her heart sour, but she still couldn't help but want to see what sweet words he wrote to Sister Bao.
I don't know what she is thinking.
Baochai:"……"
What is this guy doing? Exchanging letters?
Is it easy to read this letter given to them alone? It's too ridiculous.
I don't know why, but I feel a little weird in my heart.
Baochai glanced at the letter in Daiyu's hand, and actually felt a little curious in her heart, asking, "What did he write to Mei'er?"
She was also curious as to how he managed to become obsessed with her body on one side, while on the other side he and Mei'er were privately committed to each other for the rest of their lives.
Daiyu said softly: "I didn't write anything, just let me rest more and take good care of my body."
Unlike the first flirtation, this time's letter has a somewhat peaceful feel to it.
Baochai hesitated and said: "Sister, how about I take a look too?"
Then the two hit it off and immediately exchanged letters and read them.
Zijuan and Ying'er, on the other hand, were dumbfounded as they watched. For some reason, they were a little bit dumbfounded.
Daiyu read Baochai's letter, feeling a sense of sourness in her heart, and said quietly: "He was really considerate to Sister Bao, and he also told Sister Bao to eat more and not to lose weight due to hunger."
Although the following words are not written out, "Don't starve to lose weight." What exactly does it mean?
Daiyu suddenly thought of the time when the man was shepherding sheep and said he wanted to eat more.
Under Baochai's Cuiyu beautiful eyebrows, there was a hint of shame and anger in her moist apricot eyes, and she said softly: "He also cares about his sister very much, and also asks her to take good care of her body."
The words above are much more beautiful than the words written to her. It also says that when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming next year, I will go to the peach blossom forest on the other side of Fengyao Bridge to bury the flowers and recite poems.
Well, I told her about Dicuiting Pudie in a letter before.
Somewhat inexplicable.
The two people looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.
As Baochai spoke, he took Daiyu's bare hand and joked with a smile: "Zi'er, if he knows that we are changing the books at home, I don't know how to punish you."
Daiyu said: "If you want to punish me, I will punish Sister Bao. I am young and not as dignified and quiet as my sister."
"You have such a small mouth." Baochai said angrily and pinched Daiyu's cheek.
A hint of shame also appeared on Daiyu's cheeks, and she said softly: "My sister and I often talk together, and we spend more time together than he does. He should have thought about it a long time ago."
After exchanging letters, the two of them felt a strange bond was established. They didn't know what it was like. It was probably a feeling of losing shame, as if they were a family.
Zijuan's cheeks were a little red with embarrassment. For some reason, she suddenly remembered a scene where her daughter and Miss Bao were serving Uncle Heng together.
At that time, Uncle Xu Heng will change the girl and Miss Bao...
When the girl thought about this, her heart couldn't help but light up, and she quickly dismissed the trivial thoughts in her mind.
Just as Chai and Dai were talking, the Qiu Shuang Zhai in the Grand View Garden was filled with laughter and laughter.
Sandalwood birds, ice silk and agarwood are mixed in the three-legged animal head incense cage and burnt. Wisps of green smoke fill the room, and the aroma is fragrant.
Xiangyun had a round apple face and rosy cheeks, and said softly: "Sister Lan, you really should try that foal. It was small last year, but it has grown up now."
Zhen Lan smiled and said softly: "I live in the south and don't usually ride that one. When Brother Heng comes back, he can teach me and my sister. I don't know if he will be free."
Xiangyun's big and lively eyes were as bright as water, and he said softly: "Brother Heng may not be free, I will teach you."
Zhen Lan looked at the girl with plump cheeks with soft eyes, smiled softly, and said softly: "Sister Yun is so young, it would be bad if she fell."
Xiangyun pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Sister Lan, I'm riding really well."
It seemed that she just wanted Brother Heng to teach her, so she just said these things to her, pretending that she didn't know.
With a smile on his face, Tanchun said, "I haven't seen Sister Bao and Sister Lin these days."
Bao Qin said softly: "My cousin is in charge of the outside business these days. It's cold these days, but Sister Lin often plays chess in the room. Doesn't Sister Xi'er play better with Sister Lin?"
Zhen Xi said softly: "We were playing chess a few days ago, and Sister Lin is practicing calligraphy these days, so I won't go over and disturb her."
Xiangyun said softly: "Last time I saw Brother Ai, he looked at me with tears in his eyes."
Tanchun: "..."
Speechless tears flow first?
Baoqin's face, as white as a pear core, paused slightly, with a strange expression in his expression.
When she first came here, she saw that Brother Bao seemed to have this temper.
Jinling, Jinyang Princess Mansion
The sound of firecrackers bid farewell to the old year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.
Chongping fifteenth year, New Year's Eve
Every household was decorated with lanterns, the lights were brilliant, and the bright red light illuminated the entire night. In front of the eaves of the majestic and magnificent Princess Mansion, two red lanterns had been hung, creating circles of light and shadow of different sizes.
Above the attic, two figures leaning against each other were projected on the screen, whispering.
It turned out that Jia Heng and the eldest princess of Jinyang had finished their New Year's Eve dinner. The two of them were sitting on the mattress made of Arhat bed, looking up at the night scene.
At this moment, Lianxue and other female officials prepared all kinds of fireworks and set them off in the courtyard. With the sound of "cracking, crackling", they shot up into the sky. They were colorful and unspeakably gorgeous.
"Ziyu." Princess Jinyang leaned her head on the young man's shoulder, looking at the brilliant fireworks in the vast night sky, and murmured with a hint of infatuation on her soft and indescribable face.
She had longed for days like this so many times in the past thirty years, holding her lover's hand and looking at the sparkling night sky on New Year's Eve, but she had waited for a long, long time before such a person came to her.
Jia Heng held the beauty's slender crotch and said softly: "Li'er, do you still remember the first time we met?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang turned her beautiful jade face, looked at the young man with phoenix eyes as full as water, and said angrily: "I remember, but I didn't see it at the time, and you were not honest."
At that time, she was attracted by his sharp talent.
Jia Heng said softly: "If you are honest, you don't even want to have children now."
The eldest princess of Jinyang pinched the plain hand in her palm and said softly: "You are said to be fat, but you are still out of breath."
Jia Heng reached out and stroked the beauty's hair, looking at the deep, dark sky, his expression dark and inexplicable for a moment.
Speaking of which, he has been in this world for a year or two, and he has formed so many bonds without even realizing it.
After a while, the eldest princess of Jinyang suddenly asked quietly: "When will you leave?"
"Let's go to the third grade of junior high school." Jia Heng said softly, feeling a little reluctant to leave.
"Aren't you going to meet the Zhen sisters?" the beauty asked in surprise.
Jia Heng: "..."
After thinking about it, he didn't hide anything and said, "I should go in the second year of junior high school."
The eldest princess of Jinyang said softly: "It's okay to go and see each other and say goodbye. After all, they are pregnant with your flesh and blood, so they can't be too indifferent."
Jia Heng sighed in his heart, but did not respond to these words.
He couldn't accept this. Although Jinyang was tolerant and generous, he couldn't always mention another woman in front of Jinyang.
The eldest princess of Jinyang rested her head on Jia Heng's shoulder and said softly: "You may as well go back, the war in the north is more urgent."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "When we arrive in Beijing, we will go north after the Lantern Festival."
Princess Jinyang said: "Then be careful on the road."
Jia Heng responded softly and said, "It's getting late."
"Call Yuanchun." Princess Jinyang said softly.
Jia Heng was speechless for a moment and thought to himself, this is just an eye addiction, right?
The two of them talked and didn't realize that time passed quickly. When Xu hour came, they returned to the side room to rest.
…
…
The Jade Rabbit sets in the west, the Golden Crow rises in the east, a new day comes again, and time unknowingly arrives on the first day of the first lunar month in the 16th year of Chongping.
Shenjing, Ningguofu
Although Jia Heng was not in the mansion, the bustle and bustle of Ning and Rong mansions did not decrease much. The Grand View Garden was full of laughter and laughter, immersed in the endless joy of the approaching New Year.
In the hall of the back house, Sister Feng was wearing a brilliantly embroidered light yellow dress. Her long and narrow eyes with clear red eyes stared at Qin Keqing who was taking off his official makeup. She felt envious in her heart and asked: "Keqing, see you in the morning."
How about the Queen Mother and the Queen?"
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "Yes, I have seen it, but there are quite a lot of people, and it's hard to see their faces clearly."
Sister Feng said with a smile: "I heard from the old lady that the Queen specially held your hand and said a lot."
Just when she went to the palace to meet the saint at the fifth watch of the night, Empress Song took Qin Keqing's hand and talked a lot.
Qin Keqing had a hint of shame on her face and said, "Well, I asked me about some things about my husband, but I didn't ask anything else."
In fact, she also met the Princess of Xianning and exchanged a few words with her. The Princess also said that when the time came, she would come over and play mahjong with her.
This...is this simply mocking her?
Sister Feng smiled and said, "Brother Heng is the most famous person in the palace, and the Queen will look down upon you."
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "There are a few other imperial officers holding hands and talking, but there is nothing else."
With that said, he changed out of his imperial makeup and said to Baozhu on the side: "Baozhu, put these clothes away."
"Oh, grandma." Baozhu responded softly.
Sister Feng looked at the patterns and the exquisitely woven and embroidered imperial costumes. Danfeng's eyes were complicated and incomprehensible, and she said with emotion: "This dress is something that many women can only dream of."
Qin Keqing chuckled and said: "Everything in the palace is everywhere, but I don't think it's that rare. These are quite heavy to wear on your head."
"You are so blessed that you don't realize how blessed you are." Sister Feng said with a chuckle, pursed her pink lips, looked at the girl expectantly, and said, "Ke Qing, how about we discuss this with you?"
Qin Keqing looked surprised and said softly: "What discussion?"
Sister Feng smiled, with a rare hint of caution in her voice, and said softly: "Can I try on these clothes? I will never be able to wear these clothes again in this life."
I don’t know what it feels like to wear this kind of make-up that was ordered by Marquis Wu.
When Qin Keqing heard this, his face was stunned. Immediately, he looked at the young woman Hua Xin, his lustrous eyes lingering on the beauty's gorgeous face, as if he had read the flash of shame in the frustrated eyes, and smiled and said:
"Well, sister-in-law Feng, you might as well give it a try. We'll try it in private in the house, with the door closed so no one else knows, and we're not afraid of others gossiping."
The royal robe is not a dragon robe, so there is nothing taboo about it. Moreover, it is in one's own house, so it is not a big deal.
It's just that Sister-in-law Feng wears this...
When Sister Feng heard this, she finally let go of her worries. Her heart was filled with excitement and she said softly: "Then let me give it a try, Ping'er."
To be honest, as tall as she is, she has never worn such gorgeous imperial clothes.
Ping'er responded, came from the side, chuckled and said, "Grandma."
"Please help me put it on, be careful not to damage the clothes." Sister Feng was so happy that she couldn't help but feel her hands trembling slightly as she held the imperial uniform.
Ping'er helped Sister Feng put on her clothes, with a slight smile on her face, and whispered: "Grandma, can you put it on?"
Sister Feng is often busy, but she is actually not fat. The original work also describes her as being slim and coquettish.
Qin Keqing raised her eyes and watched Sister Feng put on her royal clothes, and said with a smile: "The figures are actually about the same, Sister-in-law Feng's clothes are more colorful.
Perhaps because of her wifely charm, Sister Feng's imperial clothes were even more gorgeous.
Sister Feng wears imperial makeup and wears a jade crown on top of her long hair. Under the soft winter sunlight, it shines brightly, making her face even more graceful and radiant.
Qin Keqing smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Feng looks good in this royal uniform."
In fact, Qin Keqing's mentality is more like the feeling of standing on the top of a mountain and looking at everyone.
It's a bit like Grandma Liu's attitude when she saw Grandma Liu after she entered the Grand View Garden.
Sister Feng's hands in her sleeves were trembling at this moment, and there were two strange rosy colors on her face. Under her willow-leaf eyebrows, her phoenix eyes were bright and sparkling, and her autumn waves were full.
It seems that even the slender and straight lines under the skirt can't help but come together a little.
"Sister-in-law Feng, take a look in front of the bronze mirror." Qin Keqing said softly with a sweet smile on her face when she saw the rosy and charming beauty.
Sister Feng came to the bronze mirror in a daze, and looked at the beauty in the mirror. She saw the gold and jade-dropped emerald crown in the bronze mirror, with the necklace hanging down, falling on both sides of her cheeks, and her red and phoenix eyes were even more so.
Like a stream of autumn water, rippling and sparkling.
Is this what she looks like in a first-grade imperial uniform? She is so gorgeous and gorgeous.
It's like a dream.
It's a pity that she will never be able to wear such an imperial uniform in her life.
While Sister Feng was happy, she suddenly felt an unspeakable sadness. Now she was just a widow with no one to rely on.
Thinking of this, I felt sad and disheartened, and said to Ping'er: "Ping'er, please take it off while I wait."
Qin Keqing looked at the lingering sadness in the beauty's eyebrows and couldn't figure out why. She said softly: "Sister-in-law Feng, what's wrong? Why don't you wear it for a while?"
Sister Feng's heart was agitated, she chuckled, a bit forced to smile, and said: "It's nothing, I'm just happy, don't let it get ruined by you."
Qin Keqing said: "If it can't be broken, even if it is broken, just customize another set."
Sister Feng: "..."
Listen to what this is called?
Qin Keqing took Sister Feng's bare hand and warned: "Sister-in-law Feng, the future is long, so we should look forward to everything."
Sister Feng nodded, said "hmm", smiled at Ping'er and said: "Ping'er, help me change it, don't let your clothes get dirty."
She will never be able to wear such a royal make-up in this life.
Sister Feng took off her gorgeous and gratuitous imperial uniform with complicated emotions. With tears in her eyes, she smiled and said, "But Qing, you are very lucky."
She is now reflecting on herself, maybe she was too cruel in the past, and this is why she received evil retribution? Her husband was exiled for his crime, and she has no heirs to take care of her?
Qin Keqing's eyes were filled with concern and she said softly: "Sister-in-law Feng, you should think more broadly about everything."
She didn't know how to comfort Sister-in-law Feng. This was nothing more than being a widow. She couldn't persuade Sister-in-law Feng to remarry?
The beauty comforted Sister Feng, smiled, and invited her, "Sister-in-law Feng, why don't you stay here tonight."
"Aren't you going to visit your parents' house tomorrow?" Sister Feng nodded and asked with concern.
Qin Keqing said softly: "When I return to Ning tomorrow on the second day of the Lunar New Year, I may go home and stay for two days."
Sister Feng nodded, responded softly, and sighed quietly in her heart. Even if she wanted to go back to her parents' home to visit, she was already far away in Jinling.
While the two were talking, a maid entered the hall and said, "Grandma, there is news from the West Mansion. Mr. Lin has come from Nan Province and wants to invite Miss Lin to come over."
After nearly a month of traveling, Lin Ruhai finally arrived at Shenjing. Because today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor in the palace was entertaining the vassal king who came to congratulate him and had no time to meet with foreign ministers.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai did not go to meet the saint. Instead, after the post officer had packed up, he headed to Ningguo Mansion.
Qin Keqing said: "Sister-in-law Feng is waiting here, I'll go talk to sister Lin."
I don’t know what Uncle Lin would think after knowing that his husband and Sister Lin had made a private life.
In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu was sitting behind a mahogany bookcase, holding a hair brush in her hand, and there was a bit of tranquility on her beautiful face.
As the pen moves, beautiful and clean regular script appears on the rice paper, and the slender fingers are white and beautiful under the sunlight.
"Girl." Zijuan came closer and said with a complicated expression: "Grandma Heng is here."
In fact, Qin Keqing didn't come here often. Baochai, Daiyu, and Xiangyun went to the hall to look for Keqing.
In fact, this was the first time Qin Keqing came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to look at Daiyu after the Grand View Garden was completed.
Daiyu put down her brush, and she saw a bit of surprise on her beautiful face. For some reason, panic surged in her heart. She put down her brush and said, "Zijuan, come with me to welcome her."
While talking, I saw the beauty in a pale yellow dress and a blue cloak slowly approaching, with a bright smile on her hibiscus jade face, and she called out kindly: "Sister Lin."
Daiyu called softly: "Sister Qin, you are here."
"The old lady sent someone to say that Uncle Lin has come to Beijing, and my sister will go to Rongqing Hall to meet her later." Qin Keqing smiled and looked at the girl with willowy eyebrows and starry eyes, and said softly.
When Daiyu heard this, she let out an "ah" sound and said, "Daddy is already here? Then I'll go down and have a look."
Qin Keqing took the girl's bare hand, her beautiful and charming eyebrows were full of smiles, and asked: "Sister, did you receive yesterday's letter?"
Daiyu said softly: "I got it. Brother Heng said he should return to Beijing soon."
