Chapter 1044 Zhen Qing: Now the Qin family is also pregnant...

Zijin Mountain, Du Residence

Du Wan picked up the teacup, took a sip, the age spots on his face were faintly visible, and said, "I heard that the old man didn't come up with the strategy of opening the sea? Recently, many people in Jinling charter boats to go to sea, doing sea trade business."

It's not that Jia Heng cut off other people's money, and didn't give another way, but also gave other ways. Since the opening of the sea, rich merchants, officials and gentry in Jinling City have enthusiastically invested in the sea trade business.

At this time, Bao Shiqin, the former Jiangnan governor, suddenly said: "Speaking of Qingzhang's land, the Rongning and Shiwang families have bought a lot of land in the south of the Yangtze River, especially after Wei Guogong gained power, the Jia family did not buy less Tian Zhiye, not to mention that Jia Shiwang Xue Si's family was originally a big family in Jinling."

As he spoke, he stroked his beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "What does that proverb say? Jia is not fake, and white jade is the horse for Tang Jin. Afang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot accommodate a history of Jinling. The East China Sea lacks white jade beds. Dragon King Invite the King of Jinling. There is a lot of snow in a good year, and pearls are like earth and gold is like iron. Has the farm of his Jia family ever paid the land tax on time?"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Dong Chongxue smiled and said: "That's what they mean. Don't they want to clean up the land? Then come from yourself first. Otherwise, if you have a lot of fertile land and your own body is not righteous, how can you be righteous?"

"It's not just the Jia family. Didn't the Duke of Wei marry the daughter of Princess Jinyang? Princess Jinyang also has a lot of grain fields in the south of the Yangtze River. Leaving aside some food towns, there are still some that haven't paid the land tax." Hao Xi said first.

It is worth mentioning that after the clan kings of the Han Dynasty became vassals, they often distributed half of the lumi, and mostly purchased land.

Some fields and houses in Jinling were given to Princess Jinyang in the early years after Emperor Chongping ascended the throne. Naturally, no one dared to collect taxes on these.

Du Wan frowned and said, "It's inconvenient for the eldest princess to mention this matter, so let's mention Jia Shiwang's family first."

Kuang Chun twirled his beard with his hands, and said softly, "Old Man Du's words are true. The Son of Heaven will be furious when he hears about it."

Yan Mao thought for a while and said: "Jinling is still home to the old relatives of the Taizu, Taizong, and Longzhi dynasties. There are not only royal relatives, but also martial arts like the Ye family. Although some of them went to Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places to buy acres of fields, but there are also many purchased in Jiangsu, so Duke Wei dares to move first?"

When Jia Heng chose Jiangsu province as a pilot project, it was difficult first and then easier, because this place looks down from the gentry and bureaucrats, and up from the honorable family, and almost concentrates the greatest forces hindering reform.

As long as these [-]% of the wealthy class are held down, firstly, results can be seen quickly, and the determination of the central government and the emperor to carry out the New Deal can be strengthened, and secondly, the most advantageous force can be concentrated to strike hard.

In this way, it can set an example for other provinces in the world.

Du Wan nodded, and said: "Since that's the case, I've been looking for someone to spread the word in the Jinling newspaper recently, and see how the Duke of Wei will respond."

As the old capital of the Chen and Han Dynasties, Jinling has six departments and hundreds of divisions. It used to be published in the residence newspaper. After the capital was moved, it was converted into a government-run newspaper. It can be regarded as the voice of Jiangnan officials.

Not to mention that all the old Jiangnan officials and their relatives discussed how to deal with Jia Heng's going south to preside over the New Deal, but said that after Jia Heng drank with all the officials in Yangzhou Fucheng, he did not stay long, but came back to the cabin again.

The sky is already at the turn of the year, and when I look up, the waning moon in the sky is reflected on the surface of the river, and the moon is swaying slightly.

Jia Heng thought for a while and walked towards the cabin where Miaoyu was.

Speaking of which, it's been a while since I went to see Miaoyu, and I'm craving some white tiger steamed buns.

As she got closer and closer to the south of the Yangtze River, this Yanni, who had traveled north from Gusu, might feel hurt.

In the cabin, Miaoyu was sitting by the window, overlooking the bustling and noisy city of Yangzhou. In summer night, Yangzhou was brightly lit, and the painting boat was moored on the small Qinhuai River, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras could be heard from a distance.

Miaoyu was dressed in a monk robe with white pattern of crane silk, her flawless white face was not covered with makeup, she seemed to be in a state of melancholy, her eyes flickered, and she sighed faintly.

Originally thought that going south would give her a glimpse of the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, but he didn't want to be on the way. He first went to Henan, and then he didn't see her on the boat.

The little maid Susu approached, and said softly: "Girl, it's getting late, I'll take care of you to take a bath, go to rest early."

Although it is inconvenient to take a bath on the boat, Miaoyu has a clean nature after all. In this summer, she will take a bath every two days.

Miaoyu recovered her thoughts, got up, and was about to follow Susu back to the wing.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside: "Is the teacher in the house?"

Miaoyu was slightly happy, she stared and saw a young man in python walking into the hall, under his sword eyebrows, his eyes were bright and sharp, and his face was flushed with drunkenness.

Jia Heng approached, took Miaoyu's plain hand, and asked with a smile: "Master Miaoyu, do you miss me?"

"You smell of alcohol." Miao Yu slapped her nose with her hands, and a look of resentment appeared on her snow-like jade face. She poured a cup of tea for Jia Heng and asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Jia Heng said: "I just went to talk to the officials of Yangzhou Prefecture for a while and had two drinks. It's so late, why is the master still not asleep?"

He took the teacup and took a sip.

Since he told Miaoyu that the snow water was dirty for many years, Miaoyu doesn't use much snow water to make tea now.

Looking at the young man, Miao Yu's eyes showed joy, and said: "I can't sleep, I have to take a bath later."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Master, let's go together."

Miao Yuqing blushed a little on her jade cheeks, and said softly, "Find another bathtub."

"I know my master loves cleanliness, but I think I'm dirty." Jia Heng sighed.

Miaoyu panicked, and hurriedly said: "Who thinks you are dirty."

Jia Heng said: "Then let's go together."

Miao Yu gave Jia Heng a white look, and the two entered the inner room, where there was a bathtub, and the warm water was already filled with flower petals and spices.

Jia Heng looked at Miaoyu who was carrying her clothes on her back, and said, "I'm an old couple, I'm still shy."

Miaoyu ignored the man and got into the tub, followed by Jia Heng.

The two stayed in a bathtub, and the candles were brightly lit, projecting their figures on the screen.

Jia Heng embraced Miaoyu, feeling the soft and delicate body, leaned close to the earlobe of the beauty, and said in a warm voice: "There are many things to do along the way, but I don't have time to accompany you."

Miaoyu's eyelashes drooped slightly, she trembled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Master Guo has more people to accompany."

Jia Heng said: "..."

Miaoyu's words are not connotations, but beating with gongs and drums face to face.

It can only be said that Miaoyu has become more intimate with him, and gradually changed from being a couple to a way of getting along between husband and wife.

Jia Heng sorted out his words, and said softly: "Since I returned to Beijing from the north, I have been busy with the wedding, and I have been in Henan for the past few months, so I have no time to accompany you all the time, so I didn't mean to neglect you .”

Miaoyu turned her white and jade-like melon-seeded face, and under the light, that fragrant-skinned and jade-skinned face was as bright as a peach blossom, and her pupils seemed to reflect the young man's clear eyebrows, and said: "I don't have time, take time to return Is your marriage with Xiuyan settled?"

If Yingchun's little maid, Xiuju, hadn't slipped her tongue, she wouldn't have known that this person had already made a marriage arrangement with Xiuyan.

Xiuyan has a half-teacher friendship with her, so why doesn't he tell her?

Jia Heng's face changed a little, and he said: "I was going to tell you about this matter. The eldest lady of the West Mansion came to find me to talk about this matter. I asked Xiuyan, originally to give her a chance to decline, but I didn't expect her to be indifferent, so she just listened to the elders' orders, if you don't like it, I will talk to the eldest wife later."

"What can I not like?" Miao Yu frowned, her bright eyes twinkled, and she said in a complicated tone: "She is a girl, since she let you divorce, where will I put my face in the future?"

Jia Heng said: "That's what you said."

Miaoyu came to her senses at this moment, cast a white look at the young man, slightly pursed her pink lips, and turned her pale face to the side, obviously a little angry with Jia Heng.

Jia Heng supported Miaoyu's fragrant shoulders, pulled her over, and said in a gentle voice: "Okay, let's not talk about this, we are going to Jinling soon, we will go to Gusu later, and think about where to go."

Miaoyu gave a soft "um", looked at the young man, the trace of resentment in her heart dissipated a lot, sweetness surged up, and she leaned her head against the young man's arms.

Jia Heng also put his arms around Miaoyu, and said softly: "The teacher has always been concerned about her, and now she has learned to be jealous."

"A poor nun is an outsider, why would he be jealous?" Miao Yu blushed and said softly.

There's something I don't know whether I should tell him or not, and I don't know if he likes it.

Jia Heng and Miao Yu washed for a while, and said: "Okay, the washing is almost done, let's rest earlier, and we have to go back to Jinling tomorrow morning."

Miaoyu gave a soft "hmm", endured an indescribable shame, stood up with Jia Heng's support, and took the towel beside her.

"It's still covered, it's not like I haven't seen it." Jia Heng joked.

Miaoyu gave Jia Heng a white look with her beautiful eyes, and didn't say anything.

The young girl originally had an eccentric appearance, but now she raised her brows slightly and stared at Jia Heng whitely, compared to the past when she was self-confident, she was much more secular.

Jia Heng picked up Miaoyu and walked towards the inner room.

"Oh, I haven't worn it yet..." Miaoyu said angrily.

Jia Heng laughed and said, "I have to get dressed later, what are you going to do so hard for?"

The two were talking, on a bed in the wing room, covered by a pair of quilts, hugging each other and talking.

Jia Heng put his arms around Miaoyu, crouched on the tiger with one hand, and said: "Miaoyu, I have missed you these days."

Chinese characteristics, word order confusion does not affect the expression.

But Miaoyu stretched out her hand and gently pressed Jia Heng's hand caressing the tiger's head, and said shyly, "Don't make trouble, it won't work today."

Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, and said: "It's not convenient for me now, but I was able to take a bath just now."

Miaoyu blushed with embarrassment, muttered for a while, and said in a low voice: "I... I might have it."

Jia Heng: "???"

"What's there? Well..."

Miaoyu has a child?He hasn't touched Miaoyu this month, has he?

No, it should be the time when he talked about Zen with Miaoyu after he returned to Beijing. The time just happened to be right. Miaoyu had chanted sutras for him back then, so he moved the Buddha and gave Miaoyu a child?

"Master, why didn't you tell me how long it's been?" Jia Heng asked with her arms around Miaoyu's smooth and tender body.

This trip to the south of the Yangtze River just happened to give Miaoyu a quiet place to raise her baby.

Miao Yuyuyan showed a calm look, and said softly: "It's been more than a month. I haven't received a monthly letter this month. I'm not sure yet, but recently I vomited a lot on the boat. At first I thought I was going by boat, but I I have never been seasick before, and I have learned some Qihuang techniques, so I think I should have it."

The girl who didn't like to talk too much in the past seems to be full of joy because she has a child, but although her heart is full of sweetness, she still has some worries.

How can she have a baby like a foreigner?

Jia Heng laughed and said, "That's really a gift from heaven."

As he spoke, he gently stroked the girl's lower abdomen, and now there is no trace of a bulge.

Jia Heng said: "When you arrive in Jinling, you have to take good care of it. If you tell me earlier, you will not be allowed to go south, and you will save the hard work of going back and forth, and there will be no harm to the child."

No wonder Miaoyu just hated him uncharacteristically just now, coauthored and cheated during pregnancy...and she is also a good best friend who cheated.

In fact, Miaoyu's age is close to [-] years, and she was seventeen in the year she was with him. It is the age when her temperament is as beautiful as orchid, and her talent is as beautiful as a fairy. Now that I think about it, Miaoyu and him have done a lot second couple.

He was still young, and he had no measures to take, so Miaoyu would inevitably have a child.

Miaoyu's crystal-clear face had a gloomy expression, she bit her lips with cherry teeth, and said softly: "My fate is unlucky, and I don't know if the birth of this child is a blessing or a curse."

But she wants to give birth, this is her and his child, no matter how hard it is, she will give birth.

Jia Heng said seriously: "Stop, Mrs., let me interrupt first."

Miao Yuyuyan was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "What?"

What's the interruption?this person...

Jia Heng said solemnly: "Since your wife is familiar with the Dharma, you should know that nobility can change your life. Since you have followed me, I can naturally suppress your ominous atmosphere. This child is a proof. Now that you have a child, wait In the future, our children will definitely grow up to be adults."

Miaoyu listened to the young man's words, she was a little dazed, she was speechless for a while, but she felt that there was some truth.

Jia Heng put his arms around Miaoyu's shoulders, kissed the beauty's smooth and delicate face lightly, and said to the beauty's annoyed eyes: "Master, after the child is born, you might as well return to vulgarity and marry me."

Miaoyu said softly, "I still want to be in Changcui Temple."

She didn't know why she didn't want to marry him like that?

Jia Heng frowned, and said: "What will happen to the child in the future? Who will take care of it? I can't live without my mother since childhood."

He also wanted to see how Miaoyu coaxed the child.

Miaoyu said softly, "I'm a monk..."

Jia Heng lightly made a snowman, and interrupted: "What kind of monk are you? You don't shave, and you break the color precept."

When Miaoyu heard this, her melon-shaped face suddenly turned red. Her bright eyes were almost filled with embarrassment, and she said angrily: "Isn't it you... you broke my precepts?"

Thinking of this person's nonsense in the past, and asking her to recite scriptures when she came back, she really likes to trample others.

Jia Heng put his arms around the girl and said with a smile: "You think that the other girls in the garden don't know what's going on with you, but they just don't talk about it. If it's not good enough, you're going to be vulgar. If you like Buddhism, then practice as a lay disciple. "

Miaoyu gave a soft "hmm" and said, "I don't want to return to vulgarity, I want to serve the Buddha with my body and pray for you."

She was able to meet him because of the blessing and fate of the Buddha.

Jia Heng said softly: "Whether you return to the vulgar or not, whether you marry or not, I can let you do it, but you can no longer eat those fast meals with clear soup and little water, it is not good for the fetus in the womb."

Seeing disapproval on Miaoyu's face, Jia Heng said softly: "Not to mention eating meat, at least eat more eggs and beans. How can you be so thin to raise a baby? What if my baby is starved and thin."

As she spoke, she gently stroked the girl's lower abdomen. Her skin was delicate, but she wasn't really skinny. After all, Miaoyu usually stayed at home and didn't go out much.

Miao Yuyu's cheeks were as red as a cloud of blushing, listening to the young man's detailed instructions, she felt a warm current in her heart, and she gave a soft "hmm".

After having a child, he seemed to love her more than ever.

Jia Heng gently hugged Miaoyu's flawless body, and said softly: "Miaoyu, do you think this child is a girl or a boy?"

In fact, Miaoyu's temperament is somewhat withdrawn, and she is also somewhat lacking in love. I hope this child can heal the girl's wounds.

"How do I know this?" Miao Yufang felt ashamed, her cherry lips moved, and asked softly, "Do you like boys or girls?"

Jia Heng said: "Girl, when you grow up, you can be as extraordinary and talented as her mother."

Miaoyu's heart was sweet at first, then her heart skipped a beat and she said anxiously, "Don't be like me."

How can she be born with ominous and ill-fated fate like her?

Jia Heng looked at that beautiful face and smiled lightly.

Miaoyu, who is pregnant, has the charm of a secular little woman more than usual.

Miaoyu snuggled her head into the boy's arms, felt the boy's throbbing, and said softly: "You have to be honest, I... I will serve you."

Jia Heng smiled lightly and said, "I'll serve you too, to eliminate the troubles for you."

Miaoyu frowned and said hurriedly: "Don't make trouble...child."

"That's okay, I just want to say hello to the child in advance." Jia Heng whispered in Li Ren's ear.

Miaoyu finally couldn't hold back when she heard the words, her melon-seeded face blushed even more, she snorted softly, "You talk nonsense all day long."

What Purdue Buddha Dharma and eliminating disasters are all said by this person.

Jia Heng lightly pecked those two pink lips, and said in a warm voice: "Good Miaoyu, let's rest earlier."

He also likes coaxing these girls now, and seeing the lively and beautiful faces, he also has indescribable feelings in his heart.

The full moon in midsummer shone on the boat, and the river flowed outside the cabin. It was another quiet and beautiful night in the 16th year of Chongping.

……

……

Zhen Zhai

As the night fell, the lanterns in the courtyard swayed slightly, and occasionally a few cicadas rang out in the quiet courtyard, and the light wind and drizzle locked the bright lights tightly.

Behind a glass mica screen, Zhen Qing was lying on the bed, reading a book by the bright candlelight. There were a few words written on the blue cover, it was the Three Kingdoms Storybook.

As the pregnancy progressed, the beauty's body became heavier, and the originally slightly harsh and glamorous face had soft lines and a plump appearance.

"This bastard has written so many strategies in it, no wonder he has so many thoughts." Zhen Qing snorted softly and murmured.

As he said that, he put down the book in his hand, and gently stroked the swollen lower abdomen. When the fingertips touched the skin, the fetal movement seemed to be getting stronger.

"It's been so long, and your father hasn't received a letter, and he doesn't take us two to heart." Zhen Qing murmured, feeling suddenly a little irritable.

At this moment, several plump or slender figures were projected on the glass screen, accompanied by a scent of orchid and musk, filling the room.

Zhen Xue was also stroking her lower abdomen at this moment, and with the support of two maidservants, she entered the wing room, Wanning's face was full of tranquility, and she said: "Sister, the news from outside is that Zi Yu has arrived and is now in Yangzhou. "

Zhen Qing was overjoyed when she heard the words, but said in her mouth: "It's time to arrive."

Because he has a maid, even though he has been his confidant for many years, he still has to guard against someone letting the news slip.

Therefore, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue are usually very cautious.

Zhen Xue sat down, Wen Ning's plump and beautiful face was overflowing with joy, and said softly: "This time, sister Lan'er and sister Xi'er have also arrived in Yangzhou, and we will see each other later."

As he said that, he screened off the two servant girls.

Zhen Qing turned her watery phoenix eyes to Zhen Xue, and said faintly: "He just married the emperor's daughter and the daughter of the clan, and our sisters from the Zhen family may not win his heart as usual."

The sisters of the Zhen family can also be said to be the two of Lan Xi.

Zhen Xue said, "My sister is thinking wildly again."

Ever since the news of Ziyu's going south was reported in the mansion newspaper, my sister began to worry about gains and losses, sometimes looking forward to it, and sometimes feeling depressed.

"Sister, do you know that the Qin family in Beijing is also pregnant?" Zhen Qing suddenly whispered with a gloomy look on her jade face.

Only one child is precious. When there are more children, just like the prince in the palace, the mind will be lightened.

That's why she was more wary of Concubine Liu back then.

Now Qin is pregnant... I just hope it's not a boy.

Zhen Xue said softly: "Is this normal? Ziyu and the Qin family have been married for a while, and besides, Ziyu will need someone to inherit the Duke of Wei in the future."

Zhen Qing said in a complicated tone: "Yes, he will always have other children."

Zhen Xuerou said: "Sister, don't worry too much, she is always different to him."

Besides, she was here too, and the two of them had to be on his mind.

Zhen Xuerou's brows were full of thought, and she said softly: "Sister, the mansion newspaper said that Ziyu will preside over the implementation of the Four New Deals in addition to preparing for the construction of the Navy Division this time."

"I was just going to talk about him. If you don't fight good battles, if you insist on participating in this kind of thing, you won't lose much, but you will offend many people." Zhen Qing said softly.

Liren obviously didn't think that the so-called New Deal would benefit Jia Heng.

In other words, the benefits are invisible benefits, but the harm is actually visible, and resentment is added to the body.

A look of thought floated on Zhen Xueyan's beautiful face, she bit her pink lips with cherry white teeth, and said softly: "Ziyu, he doesn't want to help the big man in the palace to rejuvenate."

Although she seemed to have lost her virginity to him at first, she also knew that he had the world in mind.

Zhen Qing said in a low voice: "If you want to be a big man in ZTE, you also need to have the power alone. Now you are not needed in the Northwest, and you are doing hard work here. I don't know what he thinks, but fortunately, you can Can you come and meet me?"

If you want her to say, it's better to help her. In the future, when she becomes the empress dowager and the child in her womb ascends to the throne, and he will be the regent, no innovations can be made.
