The Red Mansions

Chapter 466

Chapter 466

The carriage drove towards the bank of Qujiang Pool. In the carriage carriage, there was a girl with a plump appearance and a graceful demeanor. She was wearing a honey-colored semi-new cotton jacket and a plain skirt. Her face, which was greasy in the past, was as bright red as a peach pistil. , the pink lips are even more lustrous.

Jia Heng sniffed the fragrance of Baochai's beautiful neck, unbuttoned it, opened the golden lock, and said softly: "Sister Xue is at home every day, and it's not easy to come out. I wonder if it's boring at home?"

Baochai's body is delicate and soft, her jade face is flushed, and her gentle and soft voice is already trembling, she said softly: "So when I went to Beijing, I visited a lot of scenery along the way, but I can still stay...Brother Heng Woolen cloth?"

Jia Heng said: "It's okay that I often go out, but I haven't actually been there to play, maybe I haven't seen more scenery than sister Xue."

"Brother Heng is worried about the country's affairs, as far as the scenery he sees, he is not comparable to ordinary people." Baochai raised her watery eyes, looked at Jia Heng, met the young man's eyes, and quickly lowered her gaze.

Suddenly sensing something strange in front of him, he couldn't help snorting, and said softly: "Brother Heng, don't..."

Jia Heng said: "The cold fragrance pill my sister used has a lingering fragrance, which smells better."

Every time I spend time with Baochai, I find it hard to hold back the soft and fragrant nephrite.

Baochai's white and greasy cheeks were already burning hot, and she gave a soft "hmm", and stroked Jia Heng's shoulders with her slender hand holding a handkerchief. As time passed, she tightly clutched her shoulders and sleeves, her beautiful neck was slightly Raised, a gold hairpin between the temples gently swayed the golden thread necklace.

After a while, Jia Heng helped Baochai tidy up his clothes, swallowed the sweet fragrance of Lengxiang Wan, and said softly: "It's still early spring, in March and April, the flowers beside the Qujiang Pond will all bloom. It will look better then."

"It's good to come out and take a breather right now." Baochai calmed down her breath, said in a trembling voice, changed the subject, and asked, "On the Lantern Festival, what wish did Brother Heng make?"

"It won't work if you talk about it." Jia Heng met Baochai's radiant eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "But sister Xue wants to hear it, so let's talk about it, in fact, I hope you can all be well."

Baochai nodded, her moist almond eyes filled with surprise.

She thought it was the heart of fame and fame, but...you?

But Jia Heng seemed to see what Baochai was thinking, and explained: "For me, Juelu doesn't talk about searching for things, and I don't even point at them to make wishes. The only thing is that you are all well, safe, happy, and happy."

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, a group of gold hairpins put up lanterns. I was in it at that time, surrounded by gold hairpins, and I couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Jia Heng asked, "Where's my sister? What wish did you make?"

Baochai smiled lightly and said, "Didn't Brother Heng say earlier that if you say it, it won't work?"

Jia Heng looked at the girl's sweet smile, that kind of white and powdery face with a bit of baby fat.

"Brother Heng, uh..."

Jia Heng couldn't help getting closer again.

After a while, Jia Heng looked at Baochai, who had already calmed down for a while, and said: "In front is the Ciyun Tower, you can climb the mountain to look at the Qujiang River, and we will look at the Qujiang Pond from the top later. .”

"Yes." Baochai responded softly.

Jia Heng got out of the carriage first, asked Baochai to put on her cloak, and then boarded the Ciyun Tower together with Yinger who got off from another carriage.

Ciyun Building

This building stands on the top of a low mountain by the Qujiang Pool. Because it is evening, there are not many tourists coming and going. The hazel and willow trees on both sides of the stone steps are green early, covering the stone steps, revealing a sense of tranquility.

Jia Heng held Baochai's hand, climbed to the top of the mountain together, entered the attic, and watched from the railing.

Because it was Xiangwan, the continuous rain had stopped yesterday, and today it is rare that the weather is clear and the air is fresh. Because there are still clouds gathering in the sky in the west, the setting sun is reflected by the clouds, bringing a brocade-like sunset glow. Under the sky, the lights of the street market, which are as dense as stars, have been turned on one after another, and the lights, rays, sky, and willows are all reflected in the Qujiang Pond.

Jia Heng pointed to the flower wall and willow embankment in the distance, and said: "Sister Xue, there is the Furong Garden. After a while, the weather will be warm and a hundred flowers will bloom. Let's go in and enjoy it."

Chang'an City has been rebuilt several times. Originally, Furong Garden was the inner garden of Daming Palace, but now it is no longer the old one.

Baochai nestled in the young man's arms, listening to the soft words in his ears, a little sweetness surged in his heart, and said softly: "It's very rare to be able to come out this time, let's wait for another chance that day."

"What my sister said is true." Jia Heng took Baochai's hand and said nothing more, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

At this moment, compared to being confined in the small space of the study in the west wing, having a sneaky intimacy, embracing each other calmly outside and enjoying the evening scene together, the feeling is quite different.

Jia Heng could even feel Baochai's exuberant joy. Obviously, the girl was also excited to come out to enjoy the early spring, which undoubtedly made him feel novel.

The two hugged each other and chatted for a while, the sky was getting late, the lights were just coming on, the coolness gradually came up unknowingly, almost made people shiver, Jia Heng whispered: "Sister Xue, it's getting late, let's go back."

"Yes." Baochai replied softly.

Holding Baochai's plain hand, Jia Heng climbed down the steps and got into the carriage. On the way back, the lanterns hung in restaurants and shops on both sides of the street were brightly lit, and the street was deserted.

Baochai put her head in Jia Heng's arms and asked, "Brother Heng, are you going to court tomorrow?"

Jia Heng held Baochai's little hand lightly, and said: "Tomorrow I have to go to check in the military aircraft, there is actually nothing to do with military affairs these few days, the imperial court is busy with the Beijing inspection, and the rectification of the salt affairs in the south. "

Baochai's jade face was calm, she listened quietly, but her watery apricot eyes drooped slightly, and her eyes quickly fell on the sachet on the young man's waist, her eyebrows frowned, and suspicion flashed in her heart.

She remembered that the sachet she embroidered back then was not this one, and now she looked at it carefully by the light, she was vaguely familiar with it, and she was also a little uncertain in her heart, so she asked unintentionally: "Brother Heng, isn't her father the current one?" In Yangzhou?"

Jia Heng said: "Uncle Lin has encountered some troubles. The imperial court appointed a cabinet minister to help rectify the salt affairs. If he can overcome all difficulties, he will be transferred back to the capital soon."

Baochai asked in surprise, "Did Brother Heng not tell Xiaoer?"

"Well, I told her, it's nothing wrong." Jia Heng faintly felt that there was something wrong, like a cliché, and quickly added: "After the Lantern Festival, all the ministries opened, and there were more affairs. I have never paid attention to the matter in Yangzhou, and it was also mentioned by the Holy Majesty in the palace yesterday."

Baochai let out a "huh", then held the young man's hand back, and asked softly, "Brother Heng, next month is the birth of Shao'er, what do you think I should give as a gift?"

"Girls, just pick something practical and thoughtful and give it away. I don't know anything about it." Jia Heng smiled and said, obviously already on some "precautions".

Baochai put her plump and beautiful face on the young man's heart, intertwined her fingers, and said softly: "When I gave birth last time, she gave me an embroidered sachet, but I don't know how to return it to her. gone."

Jia Heng's complexion paused when he heard this, and his heart suddenly dawned.

No wonder……

He had been wearing a sachet made by Baochai before, with the word "Heng" tattooed on it, and had worn it on his body for many days. When changing clothes this morning, he changed into the one given by Daiyu yesterday. He didn't want to... ...discovered so quickly?

However, Baochai's reaction to Daiyu...was unexpected and reasonable.

Because at the beginning Baochai "secretly communicated with him" to give a sachet, and now Daiyu is also giving a sachet, which inevitably made Baochai feel guilty.

In the original book of the Red Chamber, the two dug holes for each other, and they also went back and forth.

Now Baochai's love is attached to him, and he is not much different from his husband and wife now, so it is inevitable that he will feel jealous and try to test him out.

However, at this moment, Baochai saw the young man's "cold face and silence" suddenly, but her plain hands couldn't help clenching the handkerchief tightly. Lirui's face gradually turned pale, and she bit her cherry lips with her white teeth. I'm so sorry, she really bumped into someone just now, but why... What do you ask those people for?

Just when Baochai was out of his mind, Jia Heng suddenly said: "Actually, I was also thinking about what to give her in return. You don't know, she also gave me a sachet because of Uncle Lin's business yesterday, maybe Maybe you embroider more on weekdays, sister, why don't you help me decide what to give sister Lin when she is born?"

Said, took the sachet, put it in Baochai's jade hand, and said softly: "Look, it's hard for her to understand the world so well at such a young age and alone in Beijing."

When Baochai heard this, the moist apricot eyes under Liu Yexiu's eyebrows shone slightly, and her heart brightened again. She looked at it carefully, then put it down without saying anything, then raised her plump and bright face, and said softly: "First I have to think about giving her a baby back."

Jia Heng nodded, and did not continue this topic.

Baochai didn't go any further, or in other words, the dangerous attempt just now made the girl no longer want to experience that feeling of fear and helplessness.

Jia Heng hugged Baochai, bowed his head, and held the two peach blossoms, feeling that the girl who was more or less passive in the past had a rare response.

He felt Baochai's cautious mood, and he didn't need any words of comfort, as actions speak louder than words.

"Brother Heng..."

But at this moment, Baochai let out a soft hum from the nostrils of her nose, and her almond eyes opened slightly, perhaps because of the panic just now, she closed her trembling eyelashes again, and just put her arms around Jia Heng's neck, Did not refuse.

Jia Heng didn't go too far either.

After a while, the two hugged each other.

"My younger sister is my wife. You can be jealous if you want to be jealous in the future, so you don't have to worry about anything." Jia Heng whispered.

No wonder it needs to be suppressed with Lengxiang pills, since the heat poison is hiding, the outside is cold and the inside is hot.

Baochai was originally immersed in shame and could not restrain herself. Hearing this, her heart shook slightly, her eyebrows drooped slightly, her almond eyes drooped, and she said softly, "Brother Heng, I'm not..."

Jia Heng cut off the conversation and said: "My sister doesn't need to explain anything, I like my sister, and I also like her little temper."

The feeling that Baochai gives him now is restrained and depressed. The only time he got angry in the original work was because Baoyu said that he looked like Concubine Yang.

But in human nature, the calmer the surface, the more turbulent and undercurrents are hidden. Of course, these are only for him to show.

Listening to Jia Heng's words, Baochai's heart exploded into a ball of joy, and she didn't say anything else. She buried the hair of a grasshopper with black hair like a waterfall in Jia Heng's heart, and said nothing else.

She is no different from him and husband and wife. She shouldn't have doubted him before. No matter what, she will eventually become the wife he is marrying. As for others...

Jia Heng hugged the plump girl tightly, but at this time, she didn't have much charming thoughts, but had a bit of unspeakable tranquility.

The two hugged each other all the way, gradually approaching Fangyi where Ningrong Street is located.

Jia Heng whispered, "Sister, it's almost here, tidy it up, don't let my aunt see it."

"Ah."

At this moment, Baochai was already limp in Jia Heng's arms, so she could only give a shallow reply, then got up, straightened the messy skirt in front of her, her almond eyes were as bright as water, and her face was as bright as a cloud of rosy clouds.

"I'll take my sister home."

When the carriage stopped in front of the corner gate of Lixiangyuan, Jia Heng said.

Baochai gave a "hmm" at first, then realized, and hurriedly said: "Brother Heng, don't send it off, I'll just go back by myself."

With him by her side, she couldn't calm down her chaotic mood at all, instead it was easy to reveal the clues.

Jia Heng thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine."

Rikain

Baochai, who was already calm, wore a light red cloak and led Ying'er all the way into the courtyard. When Aunt Xue heard the movement outside, she came out to meet her and stood under the eaves, asking anxiously: " Good girl, did your brother send it over?"

For some reason, facing her mother's urgent tone, Baochai felt a little guilty, but her voice was as calm as water, and said softly: "Mom, it has been sent over, and I have given the official document."

As he spoke, he handed over the official document that had been sealed.

Because it was evening and the sky was gloomy, Aunt Xue did not notice that the blush on Baochai's face hadn't faded. She just held the sealed official document and looked at it carefully by the light for a long time. place, sighed: "After this trip, it will be half a month to come back."

"Mom, don't worry too much. I looked at the people in the prison and treated Brother Heng very politely. I also know that Brother Heng is a relative of Brother Heng. I think I won't let Brother suffer a lot." Baochai comforted him softly. Said.

As time passed, the girl's voice became more and more peaceful, and there was no abnormality in her expression.

Hearing this, Aunt Xue nodded with a smile, and said again and again: "That's good, that's good, hey, where is Brother Heng?"

"Heng...Brother Heng, he has something to go back first." Hearing the mention of Jia Heng, Baochai's voice finally became a little unsteady, but soon returned to normal.

"Hey, your brother's matter, it doesn't hurt him to talk about it, so he left without coming to eat?" Aunt Xue said with emotion, "It will take two days to thank you."

Baochai listened with emotion, frowned slightly, pursed her lips and said, "Mom doesn't need to be too ignorant of relatives."

Aunt Xue's face changed slightly when she heard the words, she lowered her voice, and persuaded: "My dear girl, this is wrong, your brother will be here for three years, and there are still many people who rely on others in the future, so don't be negligent. "

Baochai Yurong froze slightly, but she couldn't laugh or cry in her heart, so she had to persuade her: "Mom, then I'll go sit with my sister-in-law in two days. Eat."

At this moment, I need to take a bath and change clothes.

Aunt Xue didn't doubt that there was him, she took the official document and went to the inner wing, saying, "OK."

Baochai returned to her own room, first ordered Ying'er to prepare hot water for a bath, then sat on the bed, closed her almond eyes slightly, unknowingly, the beautiful things just now were reflected in the lake of her heart again, the beauty of snowy face and beautiful skin His cheeks gradually became hot again.
