Chapter 665 Jia Mu: I didn't give you anything, why are you laughing?

Sotama Palace

At twilight, when the lanterns come on, between the beams and pillars of the verandah, teams of court ladies in bright clothes set up the poles, put down the octagonal palace lanterns, light the fire folds, and hang them again on the corners of the eaves. , suddenly fainted circles of orange halos, and the majestic and majestic Shuyu Palace, the winding and undulating roofs were dyed like black night, and the shadows were indistinct.

I don't know when, a crescent moon hangs in the sky in the eastern sky, and the clouds are rolling and relaxing, while two or three sparse stars in the north are facing each other from a distance.

In the hall, on the embroidered couch, Jia Heng held a cup of tea, and looked up at Princess Xianning, whose beautiful jade cheeks were as red as blood. The girl's eyelashes were tightly closed at this moment, and she closed her eyes, as if wandering in some aftertaste.

Jia Heng stretched out his hand and handed over a cup of tea, and said in a warm voice, "Xianning, have a sip of tea."

Princess Xianning opened her bright eyes when she heard the words, stretched out her hands and gently wrapped the dress in front of her body, covering a large piece of crispy skin, and took the teacup, her bright and clear eyes were already as seductive as silk, like smoke and mist.

At this moment, when she raised her head, her charming face rose red from her cheeks to the tip of her brows, and her moist pink lips were lightly pursed, revealing a crystal luster.

Jia Heng said softly: "Xianning, it's getting late, I have to go back."

Playing around with Xianning in the palace, I was always a little worried, just now I was worried that Concubine Duan Rong would suddenly rush in, and then scolded with a stern face, "What are you doing?"

After waiting, just now, I felt a sense of peeping outside the window, no need to think about it, it was the little princess who was peeking again.

Only Li Chanyue was very familiar with the environment of Xianning's dormitory, sneaking around and peeking at the western scenery, it was impossible for the little princess not to peek.

Just as Jia Heng thought, in the study of the inner hall, Princess Qinghe changed into a blue dress after bathing, and her hair was tied behind her waist with a red rope.

The young girl Yanli's cheeks were hot as fire, and she was already ashamed. She was holding a book, absent-minded, resting her cheeks in one hand, staring at the golden-red sunset that dyed the sky outside the window in a trance.

On the other side, Princess Xianning looked at Jia Heng reluctantly, and said, "Mr., let's leave after dinner."

The matter between her and her husband has already been approved by the emperor, and the mother and concubine also have a status because of her concubine, so she doesn't object much. If it's just that Mr. Liu eats in the palace, there is nothing wrong with it.

Jia Heng thought for a while, glanced at the sky, and said, "That's fine."

"Mister, I'll change my clothes first, and you can talk to cousin Chanyue." Princess Xianning said softly.

Jia Heng nodded, left the hall, turned around and went to the study in the inner hall.

In the study room, lanterns were lit on the high table, and the delicate and petite figure of Princess Qinghe, who was lying on the teacher's chair behind the mahogany desk, was reflected on the bookcase.

"Chanyue." Jia Heng lifted the curtain to enter the study room, walked around a floor-to-ceiling screen, called softly, and asked, "Are you in there?"

Hearing the call, Li Chanyue couldn't help being startled, she got up quickly, and looked at the boy in the python suit who was striding forward, there was a little panic in the girl's bright eyes, and the blush on her cheeks was bright and moving because of the light.

Jia Heng came close and said, "Where is Chanyue reading?"

Saying so, she sat down on the chair in front of Li Chanyue, picked up the script on the desk, and asked, "The script of the Three Kingdoms?"

"Looking through it in my spare time. I've read this book several times. When will Mr. Jia write the third part?" Li Chanyue pretended to be calm and asked with starry eyes.

Jia Heng said softly: "Maybe it will take a while, I'm too busy recently, I can't find time."

Saying that, she sat in front of Li Chanyue and called out: "Chanyue, I have something to tell you."

"Mr. Jia is reading a book here, I'm going to see my cousin..." The little princess suddenly became flustered, and said anxiously, and was about to get up, but she was surprised, and said shyly, "You...what are you doing? "

However, Jia Heng grabbed her arm, hugged the sitter in his arms, and tightly wrapped her waist. The girl was immediately ashamed and anxious, her heart was like a deer bumping, and there was anger on her clear and snowy face, and she wanted to break free , but my heart skipped a beat.

Jia Heng whispered and asked, "Didn't you just see your cousin?"

"You... you, me just now?" Li Chanyue's face was stunned for a moment, and then her cheeks were stained with crimson. Looking around, she said, "Mr. Xiao Jia, you mean when you were dancing?"

Just now, she seems to have been discovered again.

This person is obviously so focused, why did he find her again?

Jia Heng ignored the girl's sloppy eyes, her eyes were a bit aggressive, and the fragrance of the girl's bath was floating in her nostrils, and asked, "Chanyue seems to like to look at me?"

"Who likes to see you..." the little princess heard this, and said anxiously, her jade face changed slightly, and she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

If it wasn't for a coincidence, she wouldn't even glance at it.

"Mr. Jia, let me go." But after a while, Li Chanyue's eyes flustered, her white teeth bit her pink lips.

Jia Heng looked at the girl with soft brows and eyes that were almost sad, feeling a little strange in her heart, and said softly: "Chanyue, you haven't answered me yet."

At this moment, Li Chanyue was really ashamed, and said in a low voice, "Let me go, I'll answer you, um..."

But seeing the shadows approaching, the warm breath hits.

Ah, this is my cousin... How could Mr. Jia do this?

At this moment, the candlelight reflected the projection of a boy and a girl on the window casement, and the crescent moon had already climbed to the top of the sycamore tree at some point, and the cold moonlight was like mist like veil.

After a while, Jia Heng hugged the girl who was already delicate and limp, and her cheeks were flushed, and asked, "Chanyue, did you look good just now?"

Li Chanyue was ashamed when she heard the words, she stared angrily, and said angrily: "Mr. Jia, you, you are too much."

Do you think she is easy to bully?Without rinsing your mouth...

Jia Heng frowned slightly, and said with feigned anger: "Then it's not too much for you to peek in the dark? You don't even know the principle of seeing no evil? Besides, I'm your cousin-in-law, so you should take the initiative to avoid it, you know?"

"Since you dare to act as absurd as no one else, don't be afraid of people watching." Li Chanyue frowned and said angrily, but her voice was soft and soft.

Jia Heng grabbed Li Chanyue's hands and asked, "Every time Chanyue peeps, she doesn't say anything, and...does she want to replace her with her body?"

He had hardly seen Li Chanyue get angry before, this was the first time, and he was a little tempted.

However, Li Chanyue was caught in a dream all of a sudden, her cheeks were slightly hot, and she said in embarrassment, "Nonsense."

Jia Heng said softly: "Are you talking nonsense? You are a blind man who eats glutinous rice balls and knows it well."

Li Chanyue: "..."

What joke is this man saying?

Pursing her pink lips, she calmed herself down and said quietly, "Mr. Xiao Jia, who do you think I am?"

Jia Heng said: "I think Chanyue is my future wife, otherwise, do you think I will hug any messed up person?"

The girl was hugged, listening to the words of the righteous wife, and for some reason, the resentment that had just been brewed disappeared, but she still said a little annoyed: "You have hugged too many people, otherwise how could you be so proficient."

When Jia Heng heard this, his eyes pondered a little, and he thought to himself, he is really quiet and elegant, with a shrewd mind.

"Chanyue, believe it or not, if you don't marry me, even if you sit naked in my arms, I won't take a second look, let alone..." Jia Heng said softly.

Li Chanyue felt as if she had been struck by lightning, as if she was electrocuted, she almost cried, and said: "Mr. Jia, don't...don't move around."

Jia Heng said: "Chanyue, do you believe me now?"

Li Chanyue chick pecked at the rice and hurriedly said: "I believe, I believe, I believe."

Although Mr. Jia...but it seems that he didn't meet everyone. Even his cousin was with Mr. Jia after going through all kinds of things.

only……

The little princess Yurong paused slightly, biting her pink lips with her white teeth, her eyes fascinated, and murmured: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I believe it or not? Anyway, in Mr. Jia's heart, I can't compare with anyone. No, maybe Mr. Jia is still laughing at me in his heart, he is so shameless, he wanted to stop you and match you and cousin, but after a lot of work, he even put himself in."

Mr. Xiao Jia doesn't like her very much, presumably it's just because he and his cousin will give him a marriage in the future, it's because of the situation... She knows it all.

Listening to the girl's implicit confession, Jia Heng was silent for a while, and said softly: "Chanyue is just Chanyue, unique, don't compare with others."

As he spoke, he picked up the girl's slender hand and reached into his heart. With the girl's complicated and astonished expression, he said, "Touch it, you've been pretending to be here, pounding and jumping. You didn't notice it at first. Just now, for some reason, I suddenly felt heavy."

Hearing this, Li Chanyue's delicate body trembled violently, her pretty face as clear as snow fixedly looked at the young man, suddenly she felt her nose sour, and her eyes sparkled, just now... did she feel pity for her, or did she really like her?

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the shadow approaching again. Immediately, the familiar feeling of dizziness flooded his body and mind again.

This little Mr. Jia is really, if there is a disagreement, then...huh?No, where should Mr. Jia put his hands?

"Don't..." Li Chanyue hesitated and grabbed Jia Heng's hand.

"I just want to see if Chanyue pretends to be me." Jia Heng said in a low voice.

Li Chanyue: "..."

She must have pretended, but shouldn't she keep it in her heart?

After a while, Jia Heng stared at Li Chanyue with shining eyes, and said in a low voice: "Chanyue, stop thinking about it, let's go eat, your cousin should be in a hurry, after dinner, I will tell you a story .”

Li Chanyue was completely dazed, she answered with a muffled "um", stretched out her hands to gather her dress, she didn't know what it was like, sweetness mixed with a trace of bewilderment.

……

……

The Jade Rabbit falls in the west, and the Golden Crow rises in the east. The next day, the 15th year of Chongping, is the last day at the end of June.

In the morning, in Ningguo Mansion, in Jia's ancestral hall——

Jia Heng led the clansmen from Rongning and Ningxia to worship the ancestors in Jia's ancestral hall, not only Jia Heng, but also the children of Jia clan who were generals in the army, all attended the ancestor worship.

For example, Jia Yun, Jia Fang, Jia Ling, Jia Chang and other members of the Jia tribe, Jia Fang and Jia Chang wear the robes of military officers of the sixth rank, and most of the others are officials of the hundred households of the seventh rank. Seeing pride and joy.

And this scene attracted the attention of some mothers, maids, and servants of the Jia clan.

Before Jia Heng became the patriarch, every time he offered sacrifices to his ancestors, he had never seen such a scene where all the dark scenes were the military officers of the court.

In fact, today it is not only Jia Heng who is conferred the title of first-class Yongningbo and honored the lintel, but also the Shu branches of Ningrong and Rongfu in the eighth house of Shenjing, who comforted their ancestors after they became officials.

Many members of the Jia clan have benefited after Jia Heng took charge of the Beijing camp. For Jia Heng, the patriarch, they are deeply convinced and convinced.

Everyone entered the ancestral hall formed by the five main rooms, followed by Jia Dairu, who was born as a child among the Jia clan, the highest seniority, the oldest, and grey-haired, recited the epitaph aloud. The current person at the helm is another high-ranking official from Ningrong and Rongfu outside, saluting to the ancestors of the Jia family.

And Jia's mother also led Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and the female family members of Jia's family to worship on the other side.

It was already noon when the ancestor worship was over, and Jia Heng held a banquet in honor of the clansmen of Ningrong and Rongfu in several courtyards of Ningguo Mansion.

Looking at the group of children, Jia Zheng was very happy, and said to Jia Heng in an uplifting tone, "Zi Yu, our Jia family is thriving and thriving."

Jia Heng glanced at the young disciples of the Jia clan who were toasting to the elders of the same clan, and said softly: "There are quite a few of the disciples in the clan who have recently become talented, both civil and military."

For example, Jia Zhen and Jia She were more worried about the strong and the weak, so they deliberately suppressed them. Otherwise, with the connections of Rongning and Ningfu, wouldn't they be able to support the children of the same clan?

As a result, Lai Shangrong, Jia Yucun and others were able to serve as officials.

If it is to avoid disaster, is this the way to avoid disaster?It is clearly Ning and Youbang's mentality of not being with the children of the same clan as the domestic slaves.

And this kind of consideration, one thing to say, is still reasonable, because to some extent it has been confirmed by him. From the perspective of Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen, after the rise of the Shuzhi, the two governments of Rongning and Ningxia were almost separated. He talked about things, while Jia Rong, Jia Lian, Jia Cong, and even Baoyu of the Jia clan were all suppressed.

Not wanting Jia Heng's words to be both civil and military, which obviously touched Jia Zheng's mind, Jia Zheng sighed and said, "Zi Yu, there are quite a few martial arts practitioners in the Ningguo Mansion, and there is only one in the West Mansion. Cong'er, Baoyu didn't go to school either."

Jia Heng said: "Baoyu is still young, so I'm not in a hurry. Besides, Brother Zhu didn't start school until he was 14, and Brother Cong is also older than Baoyu."

Jia Zheng nodded and said, "Ziyu, you also teach Baoyu in your spare time."

"Didn't Baoyu usually go to school to study?" Jia Heng asked.

After several disciplines, Baoyu no longer wants to go to the school, so he can only stay in the school.

"I went, but no one knows how much Baoyu has learned." Jia Zheng said to Baoyu, who was sitting with Jia Huan at the moment, looking sullen.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said: "Then I will go back and ask the teachers in the school to see where Baoyu's homework is missing."

If you really want to teach Baoyu carefully, you may not be able to teach well. Whoever has never been playful in junior high school, and through the influence of the environment, some people can still get on the right track in the end.

Jia Zheng gave instructions to the servants at the side, and after a while, Jia Cong, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, Baoyu and other men from the West Mansion came over to toast Jia Heng.

"I've seen Big Brother Heng."

Today is a great day for Jia Heng to be made a first-class uncle, and these young people will come over to toast and congratulate.

Jia Heng looked mildly, smiled and said: "All of you, get up."

Amidst the thanks of everyone, Jia Heng looked at Jia Cong. He was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a thin figure, simple clothes, and calm eyes. The body is straight and straight, like a little adult.

As for Jia Huan, he put on a sullen little face and pretended to be, but his heart was timid, his eyes rolled around, and he raised his eyes from time to time to take a sneak look at Jia Heng, as if he was a bit sly.

Baoyu drooped his head, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Seeing the appearance of the two sons, Jia Zheng frowned and parted his lips, wanting to scold him, but because Jia Heng was here, it was not easy to be a teacher.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and then told the boy beside him, "Go and get the gift I prepared."

Not long after, several servants prepared trays one by one and brought them over.

"Brother Cong, this set of brushes, ink, paper and inkstone and a set of "Four Books Annotations" and "Shi Wen Shuo Yuan" are for you to study. Let's take a breath. In the future, you will be famous in reading and read, and you will add luster to your ancestors." Jia Heng took the box on the tray, handed it to Jia Cong, and said encouragingly.

Jia Cong's complexion moved slightly, and he clapped his hands and said, "Thank you Brother Heng."

Jia Heng looked appreciatively, and said: "There is also a jade pendant, which I asked the craftsman to forge to celebrate your entry into school. Speaking of which, my Jia family's generation is of the jade generation. The so-called gentleman is like jade, gentle and gentle. Ze, a gentleman is like water, and what is good is not clean. Your father and elder brother ended up in such a state because they did not restrain themselves and cultivate themselves. You must take this as a warning."

"Thank you Brother Heng." Jia Cong said solemnly, cupping his hands.

Jia Heng looked at it and nodded. If Jia Cong could read out the name, it would also give the Jia family some momentum.

As Jia Heng said, he took another wooden box and looked at Jia Lan who was dressed in a beautiful and colorful robe.

Jia Lan is only six years old, Lai Li Wan is usually able to teach well, and looks as meticulous as a young adult.

In fact, it is a bit sad, such a childhood, there is no happiness at all.

Jia Heng said: "Brother Lang, this set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones is for you. Let the boy carry you to your room later."

"Thank you, Uncle Heng." Jia Lan said bluntly, with reverence and... admiration in his eyes.

"Study hard. If you two have anything to do in the future, you can come to me directly. When I am free, I will also check your homework." Jia Heng smiled and patted the shoulders of the two of them lightly. Encouragement said.

Hearing this, Jia Cong's heart was agitated, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Brother Heng for your kindness."

Jia Lan was also like a grown-up, and bowed in a respectful manner.

Seeing this scene, all the children of the Jia clan around looked envious. With Jia Heng's power and status, being able to say the words to come to me directly is very important.

Jia Heng instructed Jia Cong and Jia Lan, turned to Baoyu, and called, "Baoyu."

"Brother Heng." Baoyu's heart skipped a beat, and he said bravely, cupping his hands.

Jia Heng said: "You have to work hard, but don't be discouraged even though you didn't pass the exam last time. You are still young, and there will be many opportunities in the future."

For Baoyu, even if he didn't look at the face of his fellow clan, he still had to look at Yuanchun's face.

After exhorting Baoyu a few words, he looked at Jia Huan again, took a bow, and said, "Put this bow away, practice martial arts well, and join the army with me in the future, just like your brothers. Officially."

Jia Huan reached out to take the bow and said, "Thank you Brother Heng."

At this moment, Xue Pan came back from Wucheng Bingmasi on the last day of the month, and was bragging about dancing horse spears with the Jia clan children at a wine table. At this time, he shook his big head and held up a wine cup, laughing Said: "Cousin Heng, I offer you a toast."

Jia Zheng frowned and said, "Wenlong, you just came back, drink less, you're so drunk, what do you look like?"

"Uncle, it's hard for me to come out for a while. I'll toast cousin Heng. Cousin Heng is now a first-class uncle. I'm very happy." Xue Pan may have had too much wine, so he doesn't have too many scruples in speaking at the moment, with a smile on his face .

Jia Heng raised the wine cup and said, "Wenlong, I'll have a drink with you. I'll go back to rest earlier, so my aunt won't worry."

Xue Pan hastily raised the wine cup and toasted Jia Heng.

On the other side, Tianxiang Building, the second floor——

Among the pavilions, there are brilliant pearls and emeralds, hairpin skirts and jackets, clusters of flowers, and splendid eyes.

Jiamu and Qin Keqing sat around a table in the middle, and below sat Fengwan, the second wife of King Xing, Aunt Xue, Chaidai, Sichun, Yunxiu, Eryou and other gold hairpins, as well as their maids.

Sister Feng smiled, and I don't know if it was because of the rewards of these two days, the young woman Huaxin's brows and eyes were full of charm, her jade face was bright and moving, and she said: "Old ancestor, there are so many talents in the clan now, I look at Yun in the corridor. They are all promising, and they are all seventh-rank military officers."

Jia Yun is now an official of hundreds of households in the Beijing camp. Compared with the original book, she still needs to go through Jia Lian's way to get a job of planting trees in the garden, which is undoubtedly outstanding.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Brother Heng will be fine with the whole family alone."

This is the power of one person, which affects the whole clan. Not only Jia Zheng has been promoted to the fourth rank, but even the children of the clan have joined the army one after another and have a bright future.

And Jia Mu smiled, her old eyes were slightly absent-minded, she was also thinking about Baoyu, she failed the entrance examination, and instead let Cong'er come out on top.

Baoyu has never experienced any hardship since she was a child, and she can't join the army. If it is really not possible, when Baoyu is older, let Brother Heng think of a way and donate him an official.

Mrs. Wang held the Buddhist beads tightly in her hand, her face was expressionless, as if the excitement around her had nothing to do with her.

Yuan Chun who was sitting below, with his plump and white greasy face lost his mind, clearly thought of his younger brother Baoyu.

At this moment, a nanny came up and said with a smile: "Old lady, madam, Grandma Heng, Uncle Heng gave something to Second Master Bao and the others below."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in Tianxianglou looked at the nanny curiously, with anticipation in their eyes.

Without him, on the one hand, it was a little strange for Jia Heng to admire things, and on the other hand, Jia Heng's gifts when he worshiped his ancestors and celebrated his title may have different meanings.

The mother smiled and said: "I gave Brother Cong a jade pendant and some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, books and so on. I also gave Lang Geer a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and gave Brother Huan a bow. Let me practice archery well so that I can join the army in the future."

When Jia Mu heard this, she smiled and said, "Brother Cong should have entered school. Brother Lan is young, and Brother Huan has lost his temper. What did you give Baoyu?"

Mammy smiled and said, "A few words of encouragement, but nothing else."

Mother Jia: "..."

No, nothing was given, why are you laughing?And what were you doing with Baoyu just now?

Mrs. Wang squeezed the beads, her complexion changed, as if she had eaten a fly.

On purpose?All gave things, but not Baoyu?
