Chapter 426 Jia Lian: Everyday people are family members, why don't you go with them?

Ningguo Mansion

Jia Heng returned to the inner hall, and through a pear wood glazed hibiscus screen, he could hear several people wiping dominoes in the room and the chatter and laughter of Yingying Yanyu.

After thinking about it, if I feel free, maybe I can invent mahjong, so that Keqing and the others can come and play.

In this day and age, entertainment methods are scarce.

Entering the living room, looking up, it was Sister Feng, a regular card friend, served by Ping'er and other maids, and there was another one, which surprised Jia Heng.

Dressed in a white plum-leaf dress with a plain blue background, with clean makeup, elegant and elegant, sitting beside Sister Feng, looking at the card, it was Li Wan.

Qin Keqing turned her head to see Jia Heng at this time, let Baozhu sit on the poker table to play for herself, approached, and asked softly: "Husband, sister Xue has gone back?"

Jia Heng nodded, sat down on the armchair at the side, and said: "I sent it back just now, so I came to talk about Wenlong. My aunt said that I should go to Lixiangyuan for a few days."

Sister Feng played out a card in her hand, turned her pretty melon-seeded face, and asked, "Brother Heng, Wen Long will leave in a few days?"

Jia Heng took the peeled orange from Qin Keqing, broke open half of it, tore off the orange stalk, put it on a small plate aside, ate a small piece, and said: "Auntie, I thought it was the first month, so If the injury is not healed, there is nothing wrong with it."

Third Sister You looked at the card in her hand, it was matched with another card, she parted her red lips lightly, and said: "After the first lunar month, we may have to pass the Qingming Festival again, and after the Qingming Festival, we are looking forward to the Dragon Boat Festival again."

"It's also pity for the parents of the world." Sister Feng took a card, wiped the points in her hand, and said with emotion, then looked at the young man, with a smile in Danfeng's eyes, and said: "By the way, I will meet you today." Master, when you see me coming, ask me to send a message to Brother Heng, Fu Tongpan from Jingzhao Yamen wants to see Brother Heng, I wonder when Brother Heng will be free?"

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, and said: "After the fifteenth day, I'm afraid it will be even busier, but the fifteenth day will be better, just let him come over the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

Fu Shi was Jia Zheng's disciple, he had followed his footsteps at the beginning, and he was diligent in cooperating with the soldiers and horses of the five cities.

During the Chinese New Year, a new year gift was also given.

Sister Feng smiled, played a domino, and said: "That will be the day after tomorrow. I will send someone back to the master tomorrow. This Fushi has done a lot of things for the mansion in the past few years."

Just as she was talking, she suddenly saw Jia Heng's eyes sharpen a little bit. Sister Feng's heart skipped a beat, her face turned pale, she paused for a domino in her hand, her slender legs in her skirt couldn't help but put her hands together, and said with a quick smile: "It's not the kind of lawlessness that Brother Heng imagined." Our family is a family of good deeds, so there will never be such a thing."

Now that the treasury of the Xifu is full, there is no need for her to go back and forth to fight the famine. After all, it is too wicked to give loan sharks.

Xu she has gone through the door so far, but still has nothing to come out, is it because of this that she has suffered retribution?

Jia Heng's gaze only became sharp for a moment, and he said in a low voice, "That's good."

He was worried about Sister Feng, thinking that now that Jinyi Mansion and Wucheng Bingmasi are under the control of Jia's family, he will become more courageous and revert to his old ways. .

Sister Feng was hit suddenly, her heart felt strange, and then she felt a little bit aggrieved, she bit her lip with her white teeth.

Qin Keqing took the orange petals from Jia Heng and asked with a smile, "Husband, for the Lantern Festival the day after tomorrow, should we watch the fireworks at Tianxiang Building or Rongqing Hall?"

Jia Heng thought for a while, and said: "Let's go to Tianxiang Building, where the view is wide. Isn't there a small river in Huifang Garden, sister Yun and the third sister, they can also put lanterns and so on."

Qin Keqing responded and said with a smile, "That's pretty good too."

At this moment, Sister Feng collected her thoughts and asked with a smile: "Brother Heng, we talked about repairing the garden the day before yesterday. I wonder how the discussion with the second master went."

Jia Heng said: "The past few days were messy, I haven't told the master yet, after seeing Fu Shi the day after tomorrow, when I meet with the master, I will see what the regulations are."

The Grand View Garden can't do without repairs, Sichun and Chaidai, and the girls are growing up gradually, and it's not a problem for Baoyu's family members to visit the house every day.

When Sister Feng heard the words, she said happily: "I see it too, and money will not produce money even if it is in my hand."

Li Wan joked with a smile: "Now the family knows that you have a lot of money."

The grandma Zhu laughed, and there was an unspeakable sadness on her face without makeup.

Second Sister You also raised her eyes and glanced at the fairy concubine with willow-leaf slender eyebrows, with a bit of admiration in her eyes, and said: "I heard that the second grandma has gold and silver in her hands, like running water, even if a little bit of it is left , enough for an ordinary family like ours to cover food and clothing for seven or eight years."

In the original book, Jin Chai, who schemed for Sister Feng and swallowed gold to death, suddenly heard Jia Heng's words, which seemed a bit frightening.

Just looking at the deep affection between the two girlfriends, Yan Yan's appearance with a smile, his eyes are deep, even if he intends to or not, he has changed the fate of many people.

Sister Feng pinched the back of Second Sister You's hand, and joked: "Sister said this, no matter how rich you are, your uncle is rich?"

When Second Sister You heard the words, she was ashamed, her cheeks were blushing, her soft eyebrows and eyes were somewhat embarrassed, and she said in a low voice, "Second Grandma Lian... just kidding."

What about her uncle, no one even looked at her.

Thinking of this, from the corner of the corner of the eye, he glanced at the calm young man, but saw that he seemed to be staring at him closely, his heart trembled, he quickly picked up the dominoes, and randomly threw out one.

Jia Heng turned to look at Li Wan who was at the side, and asked, "Brother Lan, have you finished your homework for the holidays?"

Li Wan suppressed the smile on his face, and said softly: "Brother Lang finished it a few years ago, and now he is learning two Chinese characters every day."

Jia Heng nodded, although he felt that Li Wan was too "chicken baby", but as I said before, I don't know if it can be changed.

Jia Heng sat there for a while, finished eating the oranges, so he didn't wait any longer, let the women play around, and went towards the study.

At Haishi, several women played for a while, and gradually dispersed.

But Sister Feng left Ningguo Mansion and led Ping'er and other maids all the way to the backyard. Suddenly, she saw the lights in the wing room and a figure wearing a square scarf reflected in the window. She was overjoyed and knew it was Jia Lian.

Holding a handkerchief, he entered the wing room and saw Jia Lian.

"Look whose son this is, why did you come to my room through the wrong door?" Sister Feng Danfeng sat down with a half-smile in her eyes.

"Didn't you ask me to come back?" Jia Lian was knocking sunflower seeds and looking at it with a picture book. Judging from the lights, there were pictures that made people blush.

If it wasn't for the old lady urging him the day before yesterday, he wouldn't want to come back. Isn't it better to be a bridegroom outside every night than facing Hades and Yasha?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Sister Feng, frowned, put down the melon seeds, and asked, "You still talk about me, where did you come back from?"

Seeing Jia Lian's expression, Sister Feng's heart felt unexplainably angry. This man actually talked to him like this, which had never happened in the past.

Well, Lian Er, are your wings stiff?

Sister Feng snorted coldly and said, "I'll sit with brother Heng's daughter-in-law for a while, but you won't be home for a few days, and when you come back, you'll show your face to others."

Sister Feng took the melon seeds in her slender hand and turned her head away.

Jia Lian said, "If you go to Dongfu every day, you might as well live there and never come back."

When Sister Feng heard this, her heart skipped a beat, her complexion sank, her brows were erected, and she said angrily, "It's so late at night, what are you talking about!"

Ping'er hurriedly persuaded: "Grandma, it's quiet at night, it's noisy at this time, let others listen."

Jia Lian glanced at Ping'er, seeing his picturesque features and charming demeanor, he couldn't help but secretly sighed.

If the tigress in front of him is half as gentle and pleasant as Ping'er, why is he like this.

Thinking of this, I also felt somewhat dispirited, unwilling to continue arguing with Sister Feng, more or less closed the album, picked up the teacup, and said, "Forget it, I don't want to quarrel with you either, I'm busy with business outside recently. .”

Sister Feng saw that Jia Lian's tone was "submissive", she snorted softly, sat on the table opposite the young couple, and said, "What business is it?"

Jia Lian said: "Some business, by the way, this is 200 taels of silver. Last time I drew 200 taels of silver from your hand, and you took it to balance the accounts."

As the saying goes, money is a man's guts. Now that Jia Lian has money, his back is hardened.

Sister Feng took the bank note, twisted it, frowned, and said, "Where did you get the money?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "You think I'm busy outside and don't come home every day. Are you looking for flowers and willows?"

"Is not it?"

Jia Lian: "..."

Sister Feng frowned, put away the bank note, handed it to Ping'er who was beside her, and said, "Ping'er, take it first, and settle the bill tomorrow."

Ping'er responded and took the bank note.

Sister Feng sneered: "You have become more and more prosperous recently. You have always taken money from home, but now you see the money back."

Jia Lian said: "If you hadn't stopped me on weekdays, I would have already saved thousands of dollars."

"Yo Yo, you said you were fat, and you were panting." Sister Feng sneered, her pink lips curled up, her willow-leaf eyebrows raised.

At this time, Ping'er took a basin of water and a towel, and served Sister Feng to wash her feet.

Jia Lian glanced at the little feet that were as white as jade in the copper basin, and with the picture book just now, his heart became a little hot, and before Ping'er left, he came over and put his arms around Sister Feng,

Sister Feng pushed and shoved, annoyed: "I'm not feeling very well these days."

Jia Lian frowned, and secretly said bad luck, her peach blossom eyes stared at Ping'er who was busy in front of the dressing table, and saw that his waist and buttocks were exquisite, and said in a low voice, "Let Ping'er accompany me."

Sister Feng's complexion changed slightly, and she said annoyedly, "I want to blind you!"

When Jia Lian heard this, she felt a little unhappy. She curled her lips and ignored Sister Feng. While pouring tea for herself, she asked casually, "Yesterday, I heard something happened to Baoyu? You still made the master angry." Light, what is it all about?"

Sister Feng said: "Baoyu is not too young. He molested Jin Chuan'er in his wife's room. His wife happened to see him and slapped Jin Chuan. As a result, Jin Chuan was very violent. If he couldn't be humiliated, he would jump into the well... Later, the Chief Historian of Zhongshun Palace said that an actor was lost, and Brother Bao..."

After telling what happened in a few words, Sister Feng suddenly said angrily: "Oh, I just saw now that your brother is really a bad melon growing on a vine, and you are all lustful."

At the end, thinking of Jia Lian's bad deeds, especially his masculinity, Sister Feng felt tired again.

Jia Lian said: "No one in the mansion is like this. I see that the one in the East mansion is not far behind, and there is a pair of sisters beside him."

Sister Feng said sarcastically, "You can compare yourself to what other people are like."

Jia Lian was a little irritated by Sister Feng's contemptuous attitude, and subconsciously choked: "Every day, I, I, why don't you go with me?"

Sister Feng spat, "It's Hu Huo again."

The couple chattered, and the night gradually darkened.

Jinyang Princess Palace

In the attic of the backyard, on top of the copper crane, red candles have long been lit, glowing like clouds and bright as day.

Li Chanyue and Princess Xianning, wearing a pink dress and a green dress, sat in the hall, drinking tea and talking.

Li Chanyue asked Lianxue at the side, "Where's my mother?"

Lian Xue waited respectfully at the side, and said: "His Royal Highness is taking a bath at the moment, if the princess is hungry, you can have dinner with His Royal Highness Xian Ning first."

Li Chanyue frowned and pursed her pink lips. For some reason, she felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart, and said softly: "I'm going to talk to my mother, sister Nanyang talked a lot to me today."

Lianxue hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness is taking a bath right now, after the bath, the Princess will see you soon."

At this time, Her Royal Highness is delicate and frail, as soft as a silkworm, and even needs two maidservants to take a bath. Where can I see the little princess?

Thinking of the scene I saw before, I felt a little bit ashamed, the two of them were really able to toss, it was like picking up the sheets in the water.

"It's okay, just say a few words through the screen." Li Chanyue caught the strange look in Lianxue's brows and eyes, and doubts abounded in her heart. After speaking, she got up and went out of the small hall, heading for the wing where the eldest princess usually takes a bath. and go.

Seeing this, Lianxue became anxious, so she could only go with Li Chanyue, the lord of Qinghe County.

But Princess Xianning was left in place. After all, her relatives had frequent visits and close relationships, so she would not be suspected of being left out.

Princess Xianning sat for a while, sipped a few cups of tea, and waited for the delivery of dinner, with a somewhat bored expression on her face, she asked the female officer at the side, "Auntie, have you brought a new book from Hanmozhai recently?"

The female officer said respectfully: "The day before yesterday, Lord Jia came to the mansion and sent back the follow-up of the Three Kingdoms. Her Royal Highness has been reading it for the past two days."

This is Jia Heng hand-copied a copy of the follow-up Three Kingdoms story book the day before yesterday, and sent it to Princess Jinyang. Of course, she also asked Li Chanyue to take it to Princess Xianning when she entered the palace. It was agreed with Princess Xianning earlier.

Princess Xianning was surprised when she heard the words, her phoenix eyes sparkled, her joy could not be concealed, and she said, "I will go upstairs to look for it."

Saying that, she got up, this Princess Xianning, who was nearly twenty-nine years old, had a slender and slender figure, with a cool and bright demeanor, she got up, but she was a head taller than the female official beside her.

Thinking like this, he climbed up the steps, went up to the second floor, bypassed a partition screen, and planned to go to the bookshelf, but for a moment, there seemed to be an extremely strange smell floating under his nostrils.

In fact, Lianxue has already dealt with the funeral, not only changed the sheets and quilts again, but also lit incense in the animal cage, freshened the room, and opened the windows in all directions for ventilation.

But Princess Xianning has a keen talent that ordinary people can't match, and she is more sensitive to smell.

This is because his mother Duan Rong, the noble concubine, likes to plant all kinds of flowers besides dancing. She usually consults with the female officials of Shangyao Bureau to make spices.

Princess Xianning frowned, with a look of suspicion on her face, she couldn't help opening the curtain to enter the room, and the smell became stronger under the cover of musk.

Suddenly, the girl paused slightly, bent her knees, and clearly found clues on the wool carpet not far from the bed. A look of surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes. She took out a handkerchief from her skirt sleeve and gathered it on the wool carpet. Immediately, the imprint appeared on the white handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers.

"Xing is this thing."

It was also at the beginning, I didn't pay attention, and I didn't clean it up thoroughly.

Princess Xianning frowned her black eyebrows, doubts appeared on her cold jade face, her long and narrow phoenix eyes stared at the marks on the handkerchief, she couldn't understand it for a while, she accidentally put it under Qiong's nose, and sniffed it.

I just felt a "boom" in my mind...

For some reason, all of a sudden, her heart beat violently, her mouth was dry, and her face was as cold as jade.

Speechless for a while, only the candlelight projected the tall, slender girl's figure on the screen.

At this moment, a voice called from below, "His Royal Highness Xianning."

Princess Xianning suddenly recovered her senses, quickly stuffed the handkerchief into the armhole, raised her narrow and cold phoenix eyes, and walked towards the red sandalwood carved phoenix calligraphy table. He got up and went down to the attic.

At this time, Li Chanyue, Princess of Qinghe, also entered the small hall with Lianxue, and the crane-shaped palace lanterns were also lit under the square beams one after another, dancing brightly.

"Sister Chanyue, where's my aunt?" Princess Xianning asked in a clear voice.

Li Chanyue said disconsolately: "Mother, she said that she is not feeling well today, let us eat first."

I just went to see my mother, but I didn't find anything unusual.

Princess Xianning nodded and said, "Did Aunt invite a doctor?"

Lianxue said: "The princess is fine, she didn't sleep well last night."

At this moment, Li Chanyue looked at the manuscript in Princess Xianning's hand, and asked curiously, "Sister Xianning, this is?"

Princess Xianning said: "Mr. Jia's Three Kingdoms script, I'm reading it now."

"This is the one that was brought here." Li Chanyue said, just listening to Mr. Jia, feeling a little irritated inexplicably.
