Chapter 1396 Chen Xiao: Can you bear it?
Shenjing, Ningguo Mansion
Jia Heng turned around and went back to the side room.
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at Jia Heng, and said in a cold voice with a hint of sarcasm, "Can you bear it?"
Jia Heng: "..."
What kind of words are these? How could he not be able to bear it? He had to bear it even if he couldn't bear it, otherwise there would be problems if he stayed at home.
Chen Xiao stretched out his slender hand and gently patted the boy in python costume on the shoulder. His clear eyes beneath his willow-leaf eyebrows showed concern, and he said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
It’s really not a worry.
But if he doesn't appease the one in the palace, he's afraid that there will be trouble in his backyard. After all, that one gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and they haven't seen each other for a long time, so she might be mumbling about something.
Besides, if that step really happens, the palace might have a backup plan. Could they tip him off for the sake of the child?
Of course, this is not necessarily the case.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he didn't say anything else. He said softly, "Wait here. I'll go to the backyard to see my third sister."
Perhaps it is time to resolve Tanchun’s marriage issue. It is not a solution to keep dragging it on. She needs another reassurance.
"Go ahead." Chen Xiaoyu's face was as cold as frost, and she nodded.
Standing there, thinking about the past.
Even if he was not the heir of the deposed crown prince, she would still support him in becoming a holy emperor.
The world belongs to all people in the world, and those with virtue shall live in it.
Grand View Garden, Qiu Shuang Zhai——
At this moment, in the warm room covered with green curtains, Tanchun was wearing a pink and orange double-breasted vest embroidered with colorful chrysanthemums, grass and insects, and a pink and orange horse-faced skirt embroidered with colorful chrysanthemums, grass and insects. A tasseled pearl hairpin was pinned between her lush hair, and the tassels swayed downwards.
The third young lady of the Jia family has already demonstrated the moving charm as described in the original novel: "the essence of literary talent, so great that one forgets the worldly things when seeing it."
At this moment, Tanchun was holding a goat-hair brush in her hand, writing on a peach-red paper, with the strokes moving like dragons and snakes.
The small running script characters appear on the paper like flowing water, and you can see that the structure of the characters is slender, graceful and heroic.
The girl's slightly thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and when she looked into the distance, there was a hint of loss in her eyes.
With the help of a ray of sunlight shining through the window, one can see the characters "Heng" faintly visible on the peach blossom-patterned paper.
During this period, my mother repeatedly mentioned her marriage and her aunt.
The secretary walked quickly and said softly, "Miss, the aunt is here."
At this moment, the sound of continuous quarreling gradually came from outside.
Afterwards, Aunt Zhao came to Qiu Shuang Zhai with Xiao Jixiang and other maids, and was arguing with Cui Mo.
"Our girl is taking a nap." Cui Moyu's cheeks flushed slightly as she said angrily.
"I think she's just avoiding me." Aunt Zhao frowned, her eyes were filled with murderous intent, and her pretty face was somewhat annoyed. She said confidently, "She crawled out of my intestines, how can I harm her? If you don't arrange the marriage as soon as possible, are you going to do the same as the eldest girl?"
Then, the voices of Cui Mo and Aunt Zhao were heard.
Tanchun was upset for a moment and crumpled the pink paper in her hand into a ball. Then she angrily left the room and came to the eaves of the corridor. She saw Aunt Zhao pinching her waist at a glance.
"Aunt, why are you coming to my place instead of enjoying yourself in your own room?" Tanchun's charming and graceful face was filled with surging anger.
Aunt Zhao said, "Oh, listen, everyone is calling me Aunt now."
Tanchun's face was as cold as ice, and she said tenderly, "Etiquette and laws cannot be abolished."
"I haven't seen you, brother, talk about any etiquette." Aunt Zhao snorted coldly and rolled her eyes.
Tanchun was choked by just one sentence.
Does this mean that she doesn't care about family affection?
Aunt Zhao said softly, "I have been talking to you about marriage, but you refused to listen. If you continue like this, you will become an old maid."
Tanchun nodded and said softly, "I don't know what kind of relationship you can talk about, Auntie? How can I, a daughter of a nobleman, marry a peddler like that?"
In fact, Aunt Zhao had previously mentioned a marriage proposal, which was proposed to her by her uncle Zhao Guoji. The main person in question was an officer from the Beijing camp. Somehow, he found his uncle Zhao Guoji's house through many twists and turns, and of course gave the Zhao family a lot of silk and other valuables.
Aunt Zhao's eyes were filled with annoyance under her delicate and beautiful eyebrows. She said softly, "What peddler? He is also a legitimate military officer. He serves as a third-rank military officer in the Beijing camp. It is not an insult to you."
Because of Jia Heng's power, countless soldiers in the Beijing camp had no way to get close to him, and wanted to get close to the Jia family through marriage and other means.
"In our family, even if it's a first-rank military marquis, we may not want to curry favor with him, let alone a third-rank military officer?" Tanchun's forehead, which was as smooth as jade and beneath her beautiful eyebrows, was filled with coldness that seemed to be able to freeze people to death.
Aunt Zhao snorted and said, "You must listen to Baoyu's mother. What good marriage can she find for you? Her own daughter's marriage has been delayed, and she is so worried that her eyebrows have turned white."
When Tanchun heard this, she really didn't like it and said, "Aunt, please don't say such gloating words. We are sisters, and the elder sister treats me like a mother and daughter."
Aunt Zhao sneered, "I treat you like a mother and daughter. Are you her child? Aren't you the one I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy? I think you have grown wings and want to fly away now."
"I don't know what to do."
A wave of accusations, almost like a tide, suddenly overwhelmed Tanchun.
Tanchun's face gradually turned pale, and she seemed to be gradually defeated by Aunt Zhao's verbal attack.
At this moment, Cui Mo walked quickly into the hall while she was talking, and said with a hint of joy in her voice, "The master is here."
As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Zhao, who was already extremely angry, felt as if someone had grabbed her neck. Her chest rose and fell slightly, and the jade earrings hanging on her earlobes swayed gently.
Tanchun nodded and said softly, "Brother Heng is here?"
Not long after, a handsome young man in a python costume walked out from behind a glass mica screen, walked quickly into the room, smiled and said, "What was the noise just now? Why was it so noisy?"
As he spoke, he looked up at Aunt Zhao who was standing beside him and said, "Aunt, why are you here with Third Sister instead of staying at home to enjoy your blessings?"
Tanchun nodded and said softly, "What else can I say? I'm here to urge you to get married."
Aunt Zhao showed a trace of panic on her face, and hurriedly explained: "Tan girl is not young anymore, it's time for her to find a marriage."
Jia Heng asked, "Shouldn't the master be concerned about this? Why is the concubine worried about it?"
"I just came here to show concern for Tan girl." Aunt Zhao was still a little afraid at this moment, but seeing that the patriarch of the Jia family, who used to be very majestic, was now so friendly, she plucked up her courage.
Jia Heng frowned and said, "How many good matchmakers can you know? What good marriages can you propose?"
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she was a little hesitant and did not dare to respond.
With Jia Heng's current power, how could this beauty dare to act rashly?
Jia Heng nodded and whispered, "Let's just leave it at that. Aunt, go back. I will decide on Third Sister's marriage."
"Can……"
"Hmm?" Jia Heng frowned slightly, and his clear eyes looked at Aunt Zhao as sharp as a sword, which undoubtedly scared Aunt Zhao.
After all, he was the prime minister and an important official, with his own majesty. The bloody atmosphere that seemed like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood almost made Aunt Zhao's heart skip a beat.
"Then I'll go back." Aunt Zhao's voice became a little weaker and she walked quickly away, almost running away, towards the courtyard.
At this time, Jia Heng turned to look at Tanchun, who was pursing her pink lips with a look of grievance, and said, "Third sister, what's wrong?"
Tanchun raised her bright and clear eyes, and said, "Brother Heng, which marriage do you plan to arrange for me?"
Jia Heng nodded, stared at the now graceful young lady, and said softly, "Did you forget? I promised you that you would decide your own marriage."
When Tanchun heard this, her heart trembled. She was obviously moved that Jia Heng still remembered her words.
For a moment, my nose felt sore.
He is so intelligent, doesn't he know what she is thinking?
As Jia Heng spoke, he reached out and gently pulled Tanchun's delicate hand, saying, "Why are you talking like this with tears in your eyes, Third Sister?"
Tanchun was held by the young man's hand. Her eyes were as bright as rainbows and full of water. She asked, "Brother Heng, you haven't come to my Qiu Shuang Zhai in the past two years?"
Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, then paused and asked, "Has it been two years?"
He really didn't remember, maybe he really hadn't been here for two years.
Jia Heng nodded and said softly, "I have been fighting outside for the past two years, and I haven't come to visit my third sister much."
Under Tanchun's brows, a hint of joy gradually appeared in her bright eyes. She said softly, "Yes, in the past two years, Brother Heng has been working hard outside. After he came back, his title has been getting higher and higher."
From a young boy holding a sword in Rongqing Hall, he has now become a powerful and prestigious duke.
Jia Heng smiled and said softly, "Third sister has grown up. The little girl has grown up now and it's time for her to get married."
Tanchun frowned, her bright eyes gleaming like water as she said, "Brother Heng, I won't get married."
Jia Heng looked at Tanchun and said softly, "If you don't want to marry, then don't marry. We will support you for the rest of your life."
When Tanchun heard this, she felt a sense of loss and said, "Brother Heng."
It turns out that he just wanted to support her for her whole life.
At this time, Jia Heng suddenly hugged Tanchun's plump and delicate body, came to a long lacquered wooden table, and then sat down on the armchair.
"Shishu, go prepare some tea so I can moisten my throat." Jia Heng said casually, then picked up a piece of paper on the lacquered wooden table and looked at the words on it.
Tanchun had already reacted by now and said softly, "Brother Heng, don't look."
Jia Heng, however, was very quick. He reached out, picked up a piece of paper, and began to read it attentively.
The girl was about to snatch it away, but she staggered and fell into Jia Heng's arms with a cry of "ouch".
Well, she is really too embarrassed to face people.
It’s like writing a diary about your secret crush on someone, and then being discovered by the person involved, what should you do?
Jia Heng nodded and asked in surprise, "Heng?"
Tanchun felt like she was about to be socially doomed. Heng, didn't this reveal her feelings?
But for some reason, Tanchun felt that when the time came, she was not that panicked.
I'm even looking forward to how that person will react after the showdown.
In this complex mood, Jia Heng seemed to sense that the young man was silent for a long time. He looked up at Tanchun and said, "Why are you writing my name?"
Tanchun's beautiful face was flushed, her pearly teeth were biting her pink lips gently, she turned her beautiful head with long black hair to the side and said, "I'm just writing for fun, practicing calligraphy."
Jia Heng nodded and said in sudden realization: "Oh, that's how it is."
As he spoke, he picked up the curled-up paper balls one by one, looked at the black words written on them, nodded, and said softly: "Are these all Heng? Can you practice with one word?"
This little girl is quite interesting.
At this moment, Tanchun's face, which was as white as snow, gradually turned red as clouds, and was clearly as red as fire, like a ten-mile peach blossom.
Jia Heng put down the rolled-up paper ball in his hand, looked at Tanchun with a half-smile, and said softly, "You've really grown up, a young girl in love."
It feels like my little daughter is growing up.
Tanchun: “…”
Her head suddenly buzzed, her body felt hot, and she could hardly breathe.
Brother Heng really knows?
Jia Heng nodded, stared at the beautiful girl again, and said, "Want to find someone like me? Then I can help you keep an eye out for her in the capital?"
Tanchun: “???”
Did she mean it?
It can be said that the girl's crystal clear heart at this moment is like riding a roller coaster, up and down. It can be said that she is completely controlled by the old driver.
Jia Heng looked at the gloomy girl again, leaned close to her ear, and whispered softly, "Third sister, do you want to marry me?"
Tanchun: “…”
How could he just say it out loud? How could he say it out loud?
The girl was suddenly hit on the heart of the matter. She froze in place, a hint of joy appearing on her pretty, innocent face.
Jia Heng frowned, a strange look appeared in his cold eyes, and he said, "Oh, so you don't want to."
Do you really like him?
He actually knew it a long time ago.
Tanchun suddenly felt her heart start to panic. Her bright eyes, shining like water, beneath her willow-shaped eyebrows, kept saying, "I want to, I want to."
After she finished speaking involuntarily, that innocent and bright face had already turned red with shame, as red as fire.
Oh my God, how could she say this in front of Brother Heng?
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "But we are from the same clan, how can you marry me?"
Tanchun: “…”
Just as she was about to speak, her body trembled.
It was clearly the young man, who had already embraced the girl's youthful and beautiful body in his arms and was smelling the fragrance of her lush hair.
When Tanchun heard this, her beautiful cheeks blushed, her crystal clear heart moved slightly, and she said softly, "Brother Heng, I...I don't know what to do."
At this moment, she felt the boy's warm breath hitting the back of her neck, and her fair and jade-like face flushed with a rich blush, making her look bright, pretty and charming.
Jia Heng said: "Then I'll think of a solution?"
Tanchun bit her lips with her pearly teeth and said, "Why not...I should just become a nun."
Jia Heng whispered, "Learn from your elder sister?"
As expected of sisters, they have the same strategies.
Tanchun snorted from under her nose and was about to raise her eyes, but she saw the young man suddenly move close to her lips and kiss them.
This……
Did Brother Heng kiss her?
Tanchun moaned softly, and soon, the girl's body, which had gradually stiffened due to shyness, suddenly softened like a puddle of mud, and finally fell into the boy's arms, allowing him to rape her.
Jia Heng gently embraced the girl's slender shoulders, looked at her beautiful and charming face, and said softly, "How is it?"
I've watched him grow up, but it's still a little hard to do anything about it.
Tanchun's bright eyes sparkled under her heroic eyebrows as she stared at the young man and murmured, "Brother Heng..."
The girl practically watched Jia Heng grow from a humble boy to where he is now.
Jia Heng said, "Don't get married, but I may never be able to marry you. Are you willing?"
Under Tanchun's thick eyebrows, which were filled with the spirit of a hero, a firmness gradually appeared in her bright and shining eyes, and she said softly, "Brother Heng, I do."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Okay, then Third Sister won't get married. Just follow me from now on."
Tanchun said "hmm", and then leaned her beautiful head with her long black hair into Jia Heng's arms. Listening to the young man's strong heartbeat, the girl's heart was filled with sweetness.
The two cuddled together for a while, as the beauty of youth blossomed freely in the boy's arms.
Tanchun paused for a moment, and said in surprise, "Brother Heng, your badge hit me."
Jia Heng was amused and said, "Oh, Third Sister, it doesn't seem to be a waist badge."
It can only be said that sexual enlightenment education in this era is indeed seriously lacking, and of course Tanchun is also worried.
Tanchun subconsciously reached out to grab it, and suddenly she felt her hand was scalded by that person. Her pretty and innocent face suddenly turned red with shame, and she felt an inexplicable beating in her heart.
That is……
Jia Heng said softly: "Third sister, you have really grown up."
Tanchun's youthful and energetic body trembled slightly, and she felt an indescribable current surging through her body and mind, and her snow-white face was as red as fire and bright as the clouds, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng~"
How could Brother Heng bully her like this?
Jia Heng said softly: "Okay, I'll just take a look and won't bully you anymore."
Tanchun hummed softly, and then her face, as white as jade, blushed like a rosy cloud, obviously looking like she was willing to let you do whatever you want.
Jia Heng did not continue to tease him. Good things should be savored bite by bite instead of swallowing them whole.
As he spoke, he slowly stood up, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Tanchun intently, and said softly, "I have to be busy with the affairs of the Beijing camp these two days, so I really don't have time to accompany you."
Tanchun raised her innocent and bright face, her bright eyes sparkling with sparkling light under her heroic brows, and she said softly with a look of infatuation, "Brother Heng, I'll go over to your side and help you."
It can be said that the girl has just won the favor of her lover and she can't wait to stick with him every day.
Jia Heng responded softly, then looked at Tanchun and said softly, "You can stay at home."
As he spoke, he looked at Tanchun with a warm gaze and said softly, "I'm going to Qichiyuan to see Sister Lan and Sister Xier."
Tanchun nodded and said softly, "I will go with Brother Heng too."
Jia Heng pinched the pink and white face, and a hint of amusement appeared in his bright eyes. He said, "I was being intimate with the two of them, why did you follow them?"
It must be said that Tanchun's eyes and eyebrows are extremely delicate and innocent, and there is an indescribable heroic spirit lingering on her face.
Tanchun's bright and beautiful face blushed as she said, "Then Brother Heng... um~"
Before the girl finished speaking, she saw the young man in the python costume approaching and kissing her slightly pink and soft lips, wantonly and aggressively plundering the breath of youth.
After a while, Jia Heng didn't say anything else, and strode out of Qiu Shuang Zhai and headed towards Qi Chi Yuan.
Tanchun stood there with a blushing face, her eyes as bright as water, and for a moment she was a little dazed.
