Chapter 482 Yuan Chun: You touched my hand just to say this?

next day

A spring rain in Jingzhe soaked the entire land of Guanzhong, green shoots sprouted, everything revived, and it was a thriving scene.

Because Jia Heng was going to Jinyi Mansion, but remembering that he made an appointment with Yuan Chun yesterday to go to Princess Chang's Mansion, he went to Derongguo Mansion to pick up Yuan Chun with him.

At this moment, in the wing room where Yuan Chun lived, Yuan Chun was wearing a red embroidered cross-collar jacket and a peach red skirt, sitting behind the small table, sipping breakfast absently.

A nightmare last night, not only the house raiding and exile in the first half, but also the upside-down in the second half, all invaded the mind and made it difficult for Yuan Chun to hold on.

"Girl, everything is packed, when are we leaving?" Baoqin came slowly, and looked at his own girl strangely under his eyebrows.

The girl is not young anymore, so she should promise her.

As a maidservant who grew up together, and later accompanied her into the palace, Baoqin and Yuanchun have a deep friendship, and there are some guesses about some of Yuanchun's thoughts.

Yuan Chun gave a "hmm" and said softly, "Let's go after breakfast."

Baoqin didn't urge her, and went to the side to pack her things.

At this moment, an attacking voice sounded vaguely from outside the house, calling: "Master Heng."

The bowl in Yuan Chun's hand suddenly made a "clang" sound, it was clear that the spoon in his hand fell into the porridge bowl.

In a short time, Jia Heng stepped into the wing room, looked at Yuan Chun who was sitting behind the small table, and called out: "Big sister."

"Brother Heng, have you had breakfast yet?" Seeing the young man in a python suit with a sword hanging from his waist, Yuan Chun couldn't help but think of what happened yesterday, and asked with a little shame in his heart.

Jia Heng sat nearby and said with a smile: "It's already been used, big sister can eat first."

Yuan Chun gave a soft "um", looked at the young man, and for a moment, there seemed to be thousands of words in his heart to say, but he didn't know where to bring them up.

Jia Heng looked at the girl with curvy brows and plump cheeks, and said: "It's raining outside, big sister wears two more clothes today, just be careful not to catch the wind."

Yuan Chun gave a soft "hmm", stirred the soup bowl lightly with the spoon in his hand, and took the initiative to say, "Brother Heng, I had a dream yesterday."

Holding the piano behind her, her cheeks flushed, and she thought to herself, what is the girl going to do?Do you want to tell Uncle Heng that she had another sexual dream?

Jia Heng was sipping the tea, startled, and asked in surprise, "What dream?"

"In the dream, my younger brother Heng was not there. I seemed to be made a concubine by the palace, and then I went out to visit my relatives. I didn't know what happened later. My home was confiscated. My father and uncle were all condemned by the palace and imprisoned." " Yuan Chun said softly, his voice was deep and deep, and a worried expression appeared on his round and round face.

When Jia Heng heard this, Dao couldn't help but look a little dignified, and asked: "Then what happened after that?"

This dream scene is faintly familiar... Is this the fate of the original book?

But why did Yuanchun have such a dream?

"Later..." Facing the young man's scorching gaze, Yuan Chunfang's heart skipped a beat, her head drooped slightly, and she said softly, "Later... I woke up from fright."

Afterwards, how to tell brother Heng about those things is really hard to say.

Jia Heng nodded, understood some of the reasons, and said with relief: "I think about it every day, and I dream about it at night. It must be that my eldest sister was terrified when she saw the old man and Jia Lian exiled yesterday, so she did it at night. having nightmares."

"Should it be... for this reason?" Yuan Chun said tremblingly, Yan Zi's beautiful face, peach cheeks flushed.

Come to think of it, the dream she had in the second half of the night was also because she saw Brother Heng and Princess Jinyang...

Jia Heng reminded again: "Big sister, don't worry too much these days, take a good rest."

While the two were talking, suddenly bursts of voices came from outside.

It turned out that Mrs. Wang got up early in the morning, and first went to Rongqing Hall to greet Jia Mu, and then led a group of maids and mothers-in-law to find Yuanchun, planning to go to Prince Teng's house together.

"Big girl, let's go."

Mrs. Wang entered the wing room and just spoke.

However, when he looked up and saw the young man, he couldn't help being stunned, forced himself to smile, and asked, "Brother Heng, why are you here?"

Yuan Chun Yingying got up and called out: "Mom."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "Second Wife, I'll pick up Eldest Sister and go to Jinyang Princess' Mansion."

Mrs. Wang frowned when she heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Brother Heng, I'm afraid it won't happen today, the eldest girl will go with me to her uncle's house."

Jia Heng frowned, and asked: "At this time, what is Eldest Sister going to Wang's house for?"

He had a faint intuition that Mrs. Wang wanted to give him some new tricks.

Mrs. Wang's complexion changed, and she was a little difficult to answer.

Yuan Chun looked a little unnatural, and said: "Yesterday, Mom said that my cousin told me about a marriage, and asked me to visit my uncle's house."

After saying this, a pair of beautiful eyes with roving eyes looked at the young man's face carefully, seeing that his brows were tightly furrowed, his face seemed to be thinking, besides, there was no expression of joy or anger, and for a moment , My heart welled up with disappointment.

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, cast his cold eyes on Mrs. Wang, and asked: "Didn't you tell my wife before that the elder sister's marriage fell on me, and my wife can't trust me?"

Mrs. Wang was stared at by those sharp eyes, but for some reason, she felt guilty and said: "Brother Heng, you are not busy with the business of the yamen, you have been too busy to take time off, the big girl's business You can't bother me all the time."

In front of Yuan Chun, Jia Heng didn't want to speak harshly, but frowned and said: "Second Wife, I'm already planning the marriage of eldest sister, why is it so hasty?"

Mrs. Wang sighed: "Brother Heng, you see that the big girl is not young anymore, I really can't delay any longer, didn't you say last time that the feudal king is not a good match, this time her uncle has a general under his command, I heard He is also young and handsome, and his family is still a Datong general, so he is considered a good match."

Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Madam, don't you know that the imperial court is rectifying the soldiers in the border towns, and now the generals of Datong are panicking?"

Mrs. Wang: "???"

With a shock in my heart, I thought to myself, why did such a thing happen?

Brother didn't seem to have said that.

Mrs. Wang thought for a while, then smiled and said: "This family is also an old relative of our family, the Jiang family of the Marquis of Pingyuan. , it’s just that he’s the second wife, but now he’s been named a general because of his military exploits, so his future is boundless.”

Jia Heng glanced at Mrs. Wang and snorted coldly: "Which family do I think it is? It turns out that he is the second son of the Jiang family in Pingyuanhou."

He ordered Sun Shaozu to sneak back to Datong as an undercover agent, firstly to monitor Shanxi merchants, and secondly to investigate whether the generals of Datong were involved in the case of smuggling with the Hulu. The military chief is his in-laws.

Mrs. Wang was stared at by the young man's cold and stern gaze, and her heart was a little bit awe-inspiring, especially that cold snort, which seemed to contain killing intent.

Before Yuan Chun, who was hesitant to speak at the side, could speak, Jia Heng's indifferent voice sounded again: "Is the daughter of my Jia family as the king's general to win over, is that what Madam means?"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Chun's jade face changed suddenly, he pursed his cherry lips, and clenched his slender hands hidden in his sleeves involuntarily.

Win over the generals?

Since uncle wants her to win over the general, what about him?

Did he also...

Mrs. Wang's complexion changed, and she said from embarrassment to anger: "Brother Heng, what are you talking about? I am also thinking about the big girl's life-long affairs, and her uncle is also kind. How can I say that I am trying to win over the generals? I am puzzled." Son, if I go higher, I'm climbing high branches, but if I go lower, I'm trying to win over subordinates, I would like to ask you, what kind of family can I find for the big girl to suit your wishes!"

In the end, Mrs. Wang also exploded, her own daughter, she can't make the decision?There is no such reason in the world.

"Mom, don't talk about it." Seeing his mother's unfriendly tone, Yuan Chun felt anxious, and quickly pulled Mrs. Wang's arm to persuade her.

Jia Heng said: "Ma'am, I have a plan in mind for eldest sister's marriage, and I definitely won't wrong her. Datong generals are not a good match."

Mrs. Wang did not back down because of this ambiguity, and asked: "Isn't it a good match? Then I want to ask, which one is the good match you fancy?"

Jia Heng said: "I'm looking for it, Madam, don't worry."

When Mrs. Wang heard the words, there were bursts of sneers in her heart, but she didn't show the slightest bit on her face, she just asked indifferently: "Brother Heng, when are you going to look for it? Do you want to look for it for three to five years?"

But Jia Heng was unmoved, and said: "Second Wife, in my opinion, the elder sister's appearance, she must always find a scholar who is a Jinshi in the Hanlin Academy. It is not an insult to her. Next year will be the year of the Grand Competition. At that time, I will If you care about it, you will have to discuss it with the second master in the end."

Listening to the dispute between the two, Yuan Chun looked at the young man without moving his eyes for a moment, and his complexion turned pale when he heard that someone was serious about being a Jinshi in the Imperial Academy.

Mrs. Wang's heart is already full of anger, and she has her own calculations, her own calculations!

At the beginning, when he said that he wanted to plan the Ministry of Industry for the second master, he had his own calculations, but now there is no shadow.

Talking about it, it's just using good words to fool people.

But at this time, she wanted to argue with reason, but she also felt powerless as her small arms couldn't twist her thighs. In the final analysis, the Dongfu was powerful, and even the current old lady would give him three points.

"Let's wait for brother Heng to discuss with the master, but this matter can't be delayed for too long." Mrs. Wang was annoyed, and her tone was a little hard, then she glanced at her daughter, and then led the mother-in-law and maids away from Yuanchun The wing where it is located.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the wing room was frozen like ice.

"Brother Heng." Yuan Chun called softly, with a pair of crystal clear eyes, he looked at the young man with watery eyes, his thoughts were already complicated and unspeakable.

Jia Heng said softly: "Big sister, follow me to the eldest princess's mansion later."

Yuan Chun's pink lips moved, wanting to ask what the Hanlin Jinshi just said, but looking at the young man with a face like black water and no smile lines at all, he sighed faintly in his heart.

Jia Heng, holding an oil-paper umbrella, escorted Yuan Chun into the carriage, and was about to turn around and ride when he heard Yuan Chun's trembling voice from the carriage, saying: "Brother Heng, it's raining outside, you also come up stop."

Jia Heng hesitated for a while, picked up the curtain and got into the carriage.

Seeing this, Baoqin hurriedly said: "Girl, you talk to the uncle, I'll go down for a walk."

With that said, he lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Jia Heng sat down and looked up at the girl opposite.

Mrs. Wang's disturbance suddenly made something imminent.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, changed the subject, and asked: "Big sister said that she had a nightmare last night, and the house was ordered to search?"

Yuan Chun sighed: "Although it was a dream, I always felt it was real. In that dream, there was no brother Heng, and my uncle and father were both in prison. After thinking about it, it seems that there is such a possibility... Brother Heng, Is this a bad omen?"

Jia Heng shook his head lightly, looked gently at those bewildered beautiful eyes, and said with relief: "Big sister, since I'm here, that day will never happen."

"Yeah." Yuan Chunli nodded, and said in a low voice, and suddenly took a peek at the young man, and finally couldn't help asking: "Those Imperial Scholars that Brother Heng just mentioned..."

When it came to the end, Wen Ning felt a little shy in his heart, his brows and eyes drooped, and his voice gradually became weaker and inaudible.

Jia Heng looked at Rong Zhi's plump and beautiful girl, smiled and said: "Is eldest sister just in such a hurry to get out of the cabinet?"

"Where's Brother Heng? Are you anxious to get me out of the court?" Yuan Chun's cheeks were slightly red, his white teeth bit his red lips, his beautiful eyes were like a pool of clear springs, he stared at the young man without answering questions.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, but did not speak.

Sometimes, silence is undoubtedly an answer, but the answer is not clear.

What Hanlin Jinshi is just a casual talk, used to fool your mother, do you believe it?

Seeing the young man was silent, Yuan Chun lowered his head, two blushes quietly floated on his snowy and jade face, the depths of his heart were already filled with shame and joy, but after a while, bitterness welled up in the depths of his heart again.

impossible……

Even if she doesn't marry, it's impossible.

Jia Heng looked at the girl whose brows and eyes were sullen again, her eyes flickered, her mind was inexplicable.

"Brother Heng, I..."

Yuan Chun suppressed the thoughts in his heart, forced a smile, wanted to say something to relieve the strange atmosphere in the carriage, suddenly his heart shook, his beautiful eyes widened, but he felt his hand was being grabbed.

"Big sister, don't worry about it." Jia Heng looked at Yuan Chun, holding the slender catkin with one hand, and patted the back of his hand with the other, and said softly: "I'll go back and talk to the second master about the marriage."

Yuan Chunyu's hand was touched. Originally, his heart was intertwined with shock and shyness, but suddenly he was patted on the back of his hand, and he heard the words of "sister and brother comforting" in his ears. In an instant, he couldn't control the boy's emotions at all. Thinking, he bit his cherry lips with his white teeth, and said in a low voice: "Then brother Heng and father can discuss it."

At this moment, Yuan Chun didn't even know whether the boy in front of him was trying to hide his ears or stealing the bell, or if he was really enjoying himself.

But holding my gentle hands, it happened to be so real.

Well, it's like a swordsman who is showing his position on the edge of a taboo, he can take a step back at any time, and he can also take a step forward, advancing and retreating freely, calmly.

Jia Heng nodded, but he didn't let go of Yuan Chun's hand immediately, the slender catkin felt soft to the touch, and the skin was delicate.

Feeling that the hand was not released, Yuan Chun's bright eyes drooped slightly, and at the same time her heart was ashamed and happy, her mood brightened again.

But Jia Heng let go of his hands at this time, and said seriously: "Big sister's hands are not cold, it seems that she is not physically weak, then the nightmare should be caused by excessive thinking."

Yuan Chun: "..."

Probably, you touched my hand just to say this?

When he was feeling sad, he suddenly heard the young man continue: "Eldest sister had a nightmare last night, why not lean on my shoulder to sleep for a while, there is still a long way to go to the princess mansion."

Yuan Chun narrowed his dewy eyes, stared blankly at the young man, and for some unknown reason, closed his beautiful eyes slightly, and leaned his head on the shoulder of the young man beside him.

It's just that he leaned over just now, but felt that his own jade hand was caught in the gentle palm again.

Yuan Chun's heart skipped a beat, anxiously waiting for something.

Fortunately, that mouth that made Yuan Chun somewhat ashamed and resentful never spoke again.

There seemed to be no more waves, only her slender catkins fell on the gentle palm, and the temperature was offset, and Yuan Chun, who was exhausted by being pulled back and forth, was also hit by waves of sleepiness, and really squinted.

I really didn't sleep well last night.

There was silence all the way, except for the occasional rumbling and turning sounds of the carriage passing by the Qingshiban Road.

Jia Heng looked sideways at Yuan Chun, with a forehead as clean as jade, eyebrows like black moths, eyelashes curved, a pink and fair face with a bit of baby fat, a straight nose, and lips as red as peach pistils... …

Jia Heng's clear eyes gradually lost his focus.

It's like a layer of window paper, poked back and forth, already on the verge of being pierced, and the erupting volcano is emitting puffs of black smoke.

In fact, he was actually trying to test it just now.

Although you can't hide your liking for someone, but when you see Yuan Chun saying something for him, your mood has gone up and down...

It's really embarrassing.

Of course, people in later generations do not have the psychological pressure of not marrying with the same surname, but he has to consider Yuanchun.

unless……

About two quarters of an hour later, Jia Heng suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, woke up Yuan Chun, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, and said softly: "Big sister, the princess mansion is here."

"Brother Heng, are you here yet?" Yuan Chun said with a sigh, opened his bright eyes, recovered his mind, and said in a lost tone.

When I felt that my hands were still in those gentle hands, I felt a little joy in my heart.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Here we are, let's go down."

Yuan Chun nodded and said nothing more.

Jia Heng stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the car, held up an umbrella, supported Rong Zhi's hand, got out of the carriage, and said softly: "Elder Sister, let's stay in the Princess Mansion for the next few days, don't think about it, and have a good rest." , I will come to pick up my eldest sister after Sister Lin has a baby, these few days... I will come here from time to time. "

At the end, I would like to add another sentence.

Yuan Chun let out a soft "Mmm", not knowing whether it was joy or disappointment, he stared at the independent boy with an umbrella, and projected that clear and stern face on the lake of his heart.

She was staying at the Princess Jinyang's mansion, and no matter how much her mother thought about it, she would be helpless.

Can it be delayed for a while, can it be delayed for a lifetime?

And brother Heng, just now, what does it mean?

At this moment, Yuanchun is still worrying about gains and losses.

In other words, in Jia Heng's ambiguous and ambiguous attitude, for a while, he felt that he was in his heart, and for a while, he felt that it was possible...just to comfort himself.

Jia Heng turned his eyes to call Baoqin at the side, and said softly: "Baoqin, take good care of your girl these few days."

"Hey, Master Heng." Baoqin responded.

When Yuanchun entered the Princess Mansion, Jia Heng got on the horse calmly and headed for Jinyi Mansion.

……

……

Shenjing City, Ankangfang

In the afternoon, a pear orchard is quietly located among houses with green walls and eaves, surrounded by wine shops and teahouses, and the flow of people is in a hurry.

It was because of the rain that the people had nothing to sit down, so they came to listen to the opera one after another.

And a tea house with a plaque of "Dongliju" is facing the Liyuan.

Jia Heng changed into a brocade robe and ordinary clothes, and under the escort of Liu Jixian and two guards of the Jinyi Mansion, he entered the Dongli Residence opposite the Liyuan.

Entering a box on the second floor, I saw Qi Guan'er and Lu Zongqi already waiting in the box.

Qi Guan'er waited in this teahouse on the pretext of going to Liyuan.

"I have seen..."

Just as Qi Guan'er was about to salute, she suddenly realized something and said, "Young Master Jia."

"In the outside room, there is no need to be too polite." Jia Heng patted Qi Guan'er's shoulder lightly, sat down, and asked: "Is there any suspicion in the family recently?"

"No abnormality, it's just that my lord...was what you said earlier counted?" Qi Guan'er asked in a deep voice.

Jia Heng said: "I speak as I speak, but that one is still safe and sound, even if you escape for you, the world is so big, where can you go?"

Qi Guan'er said in a low voice: "As long as your lord helps, I would like to introduce other people to be your eyeliner."

As he spoke, he gave a brief account of Wei Lan's affairs.

Jia Heng put down the teacup in his hand, his face showing thought.

Secretly thought, this Wei family can actually come up with such a means of revenge.

Jia Heng said: "If you contact her rashly, I'm afraid you'll startle the snake. Who knows what she's thinking, Qi Guaner, why don't you deal with her first, wait half a month at most, and you'll be free."

It is also impossible for him to wait for King Zhongshun for too long, half a month is the limit, maybe the timing is right, just these few days.
