The Red Mansions

Chapter 997 Sister Feng: Did this person do it on purpose? (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

Hanyuan Hall, Inner Study Room

The candlelight danced on the table, and the light and shadow interlaced, depositing dark clouds that illuminated the thin, black and hard face.

After Emperor Chongping listened to Han Huang's [-] narration, there was a trace of uncertainty in his voice:

"Han Qing's son is also involved in the case?"

Han Huang took off the black gauze official hat on his head, knelt down, kowtowed to the prime minister and said: "I don't discipline the dog strictly, and I hope the holy majesty will punish me."

Emperor Chongping stood up and paced back and forth.

At this moment, Han Huang's forehead and cheeks were covered with sweat beads, and he felt that every step of the emperor was like a drumbeat, beating in his heart.

After so many years, Fang was able to assist the Son of Heaven to regulate yin and yang. Today, because of the wrong step of the evil son, the whole game is lost.

In fact, Han Huang couldn't have imagined that this would happen. If it wasn't for Chen Xiao's secret preparations, this matter might gradually fade away with the passage of time.

Because in the past dynasties, there were not no imperial examination frauds, and decades of life was wrong before it was exposed, and only after the exposure would there be a big prison.

Just when Han Huang's heart sank to the bottom, Emperor Chongping said: "Dai Quan, help Han Qing get up first."

Han Huang was like listening to fairy music, his voice was choked up, and he kowtowed: "Thank you, my lord."

Dai Quan approached and helped Han Huang up.

Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Dai Quan, go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to find Xu Deqing."

The current court situation has just stabilized, and it is not appropriate to make big changes now. Now that Han and Zhao have bowed their heads, Jiangsu's affairs will be half easier.

Local matters depend on Gao Zhongping's means.

Hearing this, Dai Quan paused, bowed and said, "Old slave complies."

Emperor Chongping didn't say all the orders, but Dai Quan, who had been beside Emperor Chongping for a long time, already understood it.

Han Huang secretly bet on the emperor's mind.

Emperor Chongping suddenly said: "Han Qing, Jia Ziyu has just won the war, and it is time for us to work hard and prepare for revival."

With awe in his heart, Han Huang cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Ningguo Mansion, Grand View Garden

Jia Heng didn't know yet, but when he saw Sister Feng, there was a little bit of surprise on his face.

Sister Feng didn't make any fuss, under the slender eyebrows of Liu Ye, Dan Feng had a smile in her eyes, and asked, "Brother Heng, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Qichiyuan." Jia Heng glanced at the woman.

She was wearing a satin placket with a blue-purple base and a golden floral pattern on a water-red border, and a purple-red long skirt, which outlined a plump and slender figure.

In the past few days, Feng Wan, Chai Dai, Miao Yu, and Bao Qin have all seen it, and the rest are Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi from Qi Chi Yuan who have not seen it yet.

Sister Feng looked at the handsome young man, smiled lightly and said, "Have Brother Heng eaten, I will prepare a light banquet and ask Brother Heng about a few things."

This man is also her man.

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then said softly: "Sister-in-law Feng will lead the way."

Sister Feng's addiction is a bit serious.

Although the two of them didn't agree on future affairs, some things were tacit, that is, Sister Feng's secret signal to ask for love, that is, to ask him for advice.

Hearing this, Sister Feng also blushed slightly on her beautiful face like a peach pistil, her heart was pounding non-stop, then she looked at Ping'er, and said coquettishly, "Ping'er, you lead the way ahead, go to your residence to entertain Brother Heng."

Seeing her grandma "hooking up" Jia Heng at this moment, her delicate and picturesque eyebrows lowered slightly, and she was obviously a little ashamed in her heart. Feng Er went to the back kitchen to prepare the banquet.

Holding the lanterns, several people turned to the house where Ping'er lived.

Because years ago, Ping'er helped Qin Keqing manage the affairs of the Ningguo Mansion, and kept a courtyard between the East and West Mansions so that they could come and go at any time.

In addition to living in the courtyard where Jia Lian lived in Rongguo Mansion, Sister Feng occasionally lived there.

It was the summer night, and the evening wind was blowing, blowing on the face, and the sweat and heat were also dissipated.

Jia Heng followed Sister Feng into the wing room, and Ping'er ordered the accompanying maids to pour tea.

Jia Heng sat down, took the teacup, looked at Sister Feng, and said, "Sister Feng, what's the matter?"

Sister Feng sat down round and crisp, and said: "The old lady said, in a few days, Grandma Liu will be invited to visit the garden. What do Brother Heng think?"

Jia Heng put down the gaiwan with a "click" and said softly: "Sister-in-law Feng can arrange these things by herself."

Sister Feng said: "This is not for you, the owner of the Grand View Garden, to talk about it."

Jia Heng said: "The old lady likes it, so I just invite you to come and enjoy it. The emperor also has two poor relatives, these are nothing."

Sister Feng nodded, looked at the young man, and said softly: "Brother Heng, my brother wanted to treat you to a meal, saying that he was transporting things from Beijing to Nanyang for sale."

Jia Heng said: "I don't have time these days, let's wait until after the big wedding. If he wants to send a boat to the south of the Yangtze River, the second half of the year would be a suitable day."

Sister Feng said with a smile, "Then I'll return him like that."

The two were chatting, and after a while, the servant girl announced from the outside that the food and drink were ready.

Under the guidance of Ping'er, several servant girls arranged the dishes, chopsticks and dishes, then turned and left the room.

Ping'er also left the wing immediately, stood at the door and watched the wind.

Jia Heng came to the banquet and took a seat, instead of holding Sister Feng's hand, he asked: "Just now I went to the palace to see off the princess and princess, but I didn't eat."

He decided to tease Sister Feng, but he couldn't do what he asked for.

Sitting down, Sister Feng joked with a smile, "Brother Heng, if we have a princess and princess in the future, we can't ignore Keqing."

Jia Heng said: "How come? Keqing is pregnant with my flesh and blood."

Sister Feng's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, and some thoughts in her heart rose up, she seemed to be a little more firm, and said softly: "Brother Heng, we are getting married in the middle of the month, why is the family preparing a bride price, this can't be shabby."

"Tomorrow, the eunuch Xia, who is in charge of the six palaces, will come over to discuss various etiquettes for the big wedding." Jia Heng took a bite of the food with chopsticks, picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and said: "I still need Feng Sister-in-law, worry about it."

These things in the house are really inseparable from Sister Feng.

"That's really good." Sister Feng said with a light smile, seeing the boy eating the dishes, said: "Brother Heng, eat more."

As he said, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes and put them in the bowl.

Jia Heng nodded and said, "I didn't have dinner."

What does this lady Feng mean?If you are full, you will have strength, right?

But I know that this is a woman expressing love.

In other words, for a traditional person like Sister Feng, I'm afraid that he scored twice the day before yesterday, and after all kinds of fiddling, he has already grown some dependence on him from the bottom of his heart.

This is not the same as Zhen Qing, Zhen Qing can't do it in a few moments, because she is conquered by his various methods, and she always wants to turn against the customer.

But Sister Feng's possessive desire is probably deeper than what Zhen Qing hides.

Sister Feng brought up a white porcelain jug to pour wine for Jia Heng, and said softly, "Brother Heng, wine."

Jia Heng sighed, and said, "Sister-in-law Feng, it is said that Lian's second brother has been in Guizhou for a year or two."

When Jia Lian was mentioned suddenly, Sister Feng's tender body shook violently, Yurong paused slightly, and pursed her pink lips. She didn't know what it was like, but just hung her head down.

But he cursed secretly in his heart, what is this man doing to mention Lian Er?

Jia Heng stretched out his hand to hold Sister Feng's hand, the young woman's hand was delicate without a trace of calluses, it was soft and sweaty, and said: "Sister-in-law Feng is still depressed?"

He didn't know why just now, he knew it was somewhat inappropriate, but he couldn't help mentioning Jia Lian in front of Sister Feng.

After all, Sister Feng actually has a very traditional temperament, and in the original book, she and Jia Lian also have a lot of love as husband and wife, but that's why...

In other words, this is a man's desire to conquer, which is the same as asking who is more powerful. By expelling his predecessor, he demonstrates complete dominance.

But it's not yet the time for me and Lian Er to be stronger.

Sister Feng's charming face like a spring flower looked gloomy, her interest was obviously not high, she said quietly: "Brother Heng, it's been so long, even if there is depression, it's gone."

Ever since she was tortured to death by this enemy, she didn't know what happened, and she had been dreaming about this person at night for the past few months.

Jia Heng stretched out his hand to gently pinch Sister Feng's chin, and looked at the beautiful face with a little sadness.

A splendid fairy concubine with a gorgeous face and lips as smooth as peach blossoms, especially the sharp and arrogant eyebrows and eyes that have been cultivated by giving orders for a long time.

It is indeed Fengchi...

No wonder Brother Monkey, um, Jia Rui (voiced by Brother Monkey) was fascinated and fascinated by it, and then the mast and scull disappeared.

At this moment, Jia Heng's gesture undoubtedly caused a sense of humiliation in the usually proud and arrogant Sister Feng's subconscious. Her originally thin and curved willow brows were slightly condensed, and Dan Feng's sharp eyes were a little flustered.

Jia Heng said: "Sister-in-law Feng has suffered a lot in the past two years."

When Sister Feng heard the words, her heart was shocked, Yurong paused slightly, her pink lips moved, but she saw that young man had already approached.

Sister Feng quickly closed her phoenix eyes, her cheeks were as red as clouds, her heart was pounding in her throat, she felt drunk, and even more so.

It was the summer season, and the young woman in Huaxin was sweating slightly on her temples and neck.

Jia Heng supported Sister Feng and walked towards the inner room. This is the boudoir where Ping'er usually lives. The furnishings are simple, except for the dressing table and wardrobe, there are a bed, a table, and a few low stools.

Sitting on the bed, Jia Heng hugged Sister Feng, and said softly, "Sister Feng, I've been quite busy recently, with the affairs of the Beijing camp and the wedding, so I may not have time to spend with Sister Feng."

He felt that Sister Feng was treating him as her own man, and he was more clingy.

In other words, at Sister Feng's age, she had been a widow for a year or two, and she finally found someone she liked, so she was naturally more dependent.

Sister Feng felt the strangeness in the lapel of the sash, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, I... I'm fine."

Jia Heng frowned, and asked: "Sister-in-law Feng just told me about maritime trade, I was thinking, if Xifu has idle money, I can rent two ships to transport some goods and go to Nanyang with the Xue family to sell them , what does sister-in-law Feng think?"

"Brother Heng, shall we...shall we lie down and talk?" Sister Feng got up subconsciously, and let her dexterous hands untie the skirt, her usual delicate voice trembled a little.

She was really stunned, why did she let him mess around like this?

Jia Heng whispered in his ear: "It's better this way, to save people from coming, and the clothes are not easy to wear."

Sister Feng: "..."

That being said, do you really think about it?

No, how come Brother Heng is so familiar with each other?

Naturally, they would not know that Jia Heng had already verified it with Princess Chu in the Southern Province.

Jia Heng asked: "Sister-in-law Feng, is the money in the West Mansion still enough for these years?"

Sister Feng's jade face was flushed, she bit her pink lips with cherry teeth, and said in a low voice: "Your family confiscated nearly a million taels of silver from Lai's family and Shan Daliang's family the year before last. There was no shortage of silver, but it was not repaired last year. Yuanzi? It’s only ten stops, seven or eight stops, and the current expenses of the mansion are not small, and it seems that they are not enough.”

Jia Heng thought for a while, then lightly supported him, and said softly: "The cost of the West Mansion should also be saved."

Sister Feng was shy, she stood up a little bit, and said softly: "Brother Heng took over the shops in the East City, but the West Mansion didn't follow, so there was already less income. Brother Ci Heng's big... big wedding will cost a lot of money."

The tone of the following words is like the three folds of Yangguan, tactful and melodious, charming and soft, but there is a trace of anger in Danfeng's eyes under the willow brow.

Did this person do it on purpose?He obviously made fun of her in the past, but still...

Jia Heng looked at Sister Feng who lived up to her name, sniffed a faint fragrance in her nostrils, and said in a low voice: "In fact, the palace doesn't need many betrothal gifts, and those yellow and white things are not rare in the Tian family."

Sister Feng couldn't help snorting, her pink lips parted slightly, her voice became more mellow and charming, and she tremblingly said: "The royal family is different from other families."

She really believed his nonsense, so it was clear that she was being lazy and making things difficult for her...

Jia Heng was brushed by the earrings on Sister Feng's earlobe, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law Feng's wedding was quite lively. It is said that the Jinling royal family is also a famous family."

Well, one couldn't help it, and started to mention Jia Lian again in a roundabout way.

Sister Feng obviously didn't expect Jia Heng to bring up the matter of the big wedding in the past again. When she was frowning from time to time, the memory of the past seemed to emerge in front of her eyes. When she got married, she wore a phoenix crown and Xiapei, and the dowry at that time was also 120 lift.

Jia Heng supported the plump waist of the bee, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law Feng will look better in Fengguanxiapei one day, maybe it will look better than the imperial uniform."

Sister Feng: "..."

What does this person mean?She is wearing a wedding dress?Could it be that the bridal chamber is still not successful?

Before he could figure out his intention, he felt startled, it was clear that the young man stood up suddenly, and then hugged himself to the dressing table of Xuan Chuang.

Sister Feng's heart skipped a beat, and the pearl hairpin and tassels hanging down from the hairpin of Xiu Yu's hair, she said in a slightly trembling voice, "Brother Heng."

What kind of tricks are you going to do?

At this moment, I couldn't help but feel so ashamed and annoyed, I couldn't help but turn my face to look, clearly looking at the bronze mirror on the wardrobe beside me...

Looking closely with a ray of candlelight, almost every detail can be seen.

Sister Feng was shocked, she turned her pretty face away quickly, obviously not daring to look more, she turned to look at the bright and dark sky outside the window.

"Rumble..."

The summer thunder is deafening and earth-shattering.

Jia Heng frowned and said, "Sister-in-law Feng, it seems to be raining outside."

The torrential rain in the summer of 16 in Chongping seems to be brewing, and the strong wind blowing in the courtyard with abundant water vapor has dissipated the scorching heat that has remained high for many days.

Sister Feng seems to have forgotten other things at the moment, Danfeng stared outside, and murmured: "It's quite hot these few days, um..."

However, before he finished speaking, he felt that he was caught off guard, and the wind and rain, lightning and thunder, and the storm that had been brewing for a long time had already slapped on the window lattice, with a rapid rhythm.

Grand View Garden, Qichiyuan

This house converted from Yihong Courtyard has a single door, five main halls, two side buildings, green walls and black tiles, surrounded by green willows. Because Jia Heng usually does not come to rest, it has become the boudoir of Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi. , Embroidery building.

It was already midnight, and a candle was still burning in the wing room.

Zhen Lan was dressed in a pink dress, and she was sitting pretty behind a mahogany desk. The girl's slender and well-fitting body was lying on the desk.

It is clear that the girl propped up a small hand to support her cheek, and looked up at the rainwater hitting the banana tree outside through the propped up window, the willow eyebrows under the air bangs frowned, and the pink lips under Qiong's nose pursed He took a sip, and then sighed lightly.

For some reason in my heart, the scene of someone kissing me that day appeared again.

Since that day, the man seemed to be fine.

Perhaps too busy?But no matter how busy I was, I never forgot to go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Hengwu Garden to accompany those two.

Thinking of this, the girl felt jealous.

After all, in that heart's heart, she and her younger sister, Pu Liu, are irrelevant.

Since he didn't like her and his sister, why did he bring them back to Shenjing City?And why did he kiss her and sleep with his sister with his arms around her?

It can be said that Miss Zhen San, who was originally born in the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River and was pampered since she was a child, originally had a strong temperament.

Compared to Zhen Qing, who was left out intentionally or unintentionally by Jia Heng, she couldn't stand aloof from the world like her younger sister Zhen Xi.

"Sister, go to bed." At this time, Zhen Xi, who was wearing a light white tunic, came from the side, and the girl who had untied her cloud bun had long, smooth black hair hanging on her slender shoulders, and her brows and eyes were as aura as a stream, With a childish and delicate air, she stretched out a small hand to cover her small mouth, as if yawning.

Zhen Lan turned Yan Li's face, looked at Zhen Xi, and said in a clear voice: "Little sister, go and rest first, I won't be able to sleep for a while."

As he spoke, he asked, "Eldest sister delivered a letter to you?"

Hearing the words, Zhen Xi's tired mind became much clearer in an instant, a look of dodge appeared in the depths of her bright eyes, and she said softly, "I haven't taken it apart yet."

Zhen Lan stared at Zhen Xi closely, and said softly: "I saw you went to the study to find that Miss Xiao today, did the eldest sister write a letter to Brother Heng?"

The girl didn't doubt much, but thought that Xu and Jia might have reached some secret agreement on behalf of the Zhen and Jia clans.

Zhen Xi said softly: "That was written by the elder sister to the elder brother Heng, I can't tell."

Zhen Lan smiled and said, "Sister, why don't you show it to me?"

Zhen Xi shook her head hurriedly, and said softly: "This is not good, Big Sister may be discussing some secrets with Big Brother Heng, there is a wax seal on it, if it is removed, Big Brother Heng will be angry."

In case the words written in it are love words for Brother Heng, what will the third sister do when she finds out?

Zhen Lan's eyes flickered, she was a little suspicious in her heart, but she kept her face calm and said with a smile: "Forget it for now, it's raining now, let's rest first."

The younger sister seemed to put the letter under the pillow, and when she fell asleep, she went to open it.
