Chapter 1325 Xiangyun: Humph, I’ll let her catch her later. (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Ningguo Mansion, in the hall——

Jia Heng comforted him and said, "Don't worry, uncle. With the boom in maritime trade, it will be just around the corner for my uncle to join the cabinet office."

Lin Ruhai's face paused slightly, nodded slightly, and said warmly: "I hope so."

Jia Heng said: "Uncle, you should make good preparations these days."

While the two were talking, a short while later they saw Qingwen enter the hall and said, "Sir, Miss Lin is here."

Hearing that Lin Ruhai was coming, Daiyu came from Xiaoxiang Pavilion, accompanied by Zijuan.

Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at the slender girl. At this moment, Daiyu was wearing a white silk and pink-trimmed collared tunic on her upper body, a beige flowered shawl on her upper body, and a dark green pleated skirt on her lower body.

While Jia Heng was speaking, he quickly walked closer and said softly: "Sister Lin, come here."

Under Daiyu's curved eyebrows, her pair of bright starry eyes seemed to glance coldly at Jia Heng.

Lin Ruhai looked at his daughter and saw that the girl had a rosy complexion and bright eyebrows and starry eyes. She called out and said, "Yu'er."

Daiyu's voice was extremely intimate. She stepped closer and called out to Lin Ruhai. Her voice was extremely gentle and said, "Father."

Lin Ruhai saw a warm smile on her face and said, "Long time no see, how is Yu'er doing lately?"

Daiyu's Qingli cheeks flushed slightly, and she said softly: "It's good here, my sisters take good care of me."

Under Jia Heng's sharp eyebrows, he stared at Lin Ruhai and Daiyu talking, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his mind.

If the fate of the original work is followed, Lin Ruhai should have passed away by now.

After Daiyu lost her parents, she was left alone, with no one to make decisions about her life. She could only be trapped by love and vomit blood until she died.

But now Lin Ruhai is in good health and will be a second-rank official in the imperial court.

Daiyu was also granted the title of Duke of the First Rank.

But all this is based on the fact that he has not completely lost power.

Jia Heng listened to the conversation between father and daughter, picked up a cup of tea, and thought about the current situation in the court.

Before I knew it, it was noon, the sky was bright outside, and auspicious clouds could be seen in the blue sky.

Jia Heng looked at the middle-aged scholar with a handsome figure and elegant face, and said, "Uncle, it's getting late. Let's have lunch first and discuss the marriage."

Lin Ruhai nodded, looked at Daiyu aside, and called, "Yu'er."

Everyone was talking and eating food in the side hall.

Jia Heng looked at Lin Ruhai with a smile and said, "Uncle, this wedding is scheduled for the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th. At that time, the old lady will manage it with you."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "Yu'er's mother left early, so it's most appropriate for the old lady to take care of it. Otherwise, if I were to take care of the marriage, I might not be able to handle it as comprehensively as possible."

After saying that, Lin Ruhai turned around, cast a pair of kind eyes on Daiyu, and said with a smile: "Yu'er, you are a big girl now, it's time to get married."

A daughter in my family has just grown up.

As a father, you may feel overjoyed and disappointed at this moment.

Daiyu is now past the age of haircut, and is a young girl in her twenties, so it is more appropriate to get married now.

Daiyu Mingyu's flawless face was flushed with embarrassment at this moment, and she whispered: "My daughter still wants to serve her father more and fulfill her filial piety for a few more years."

Jia Heng chuckled and said softly: "Then Sister Lin will fulfill her filial piety to Uncle Lin and remarry in two years?"

Daiyu: "???"

Immediately, he glared at the smiling young man, with a hint of shame and annoyance in his eyes, and said: "Then I won't marry, let's see who you marry."

Jia Heng chuckled lightly, and a hint of interest could not help but appear on his clear and chiseled face.

Lin Ruhai watched his daughter and son-in-law laughing and bickering from the side, but there was a hint of trance on his elegant face, as if he vaguely remembered the scene where he and his wife were chatting, laughing and feasting at the same dinner table many years ago.

Back then, Jia Min was equally smart, lively and cute, with a bright and moving smile.

Jia Heng chuckled lightly, looked at the girl with happy eyes, and said deliberately: "There will be another one on the Double Ninth Festival, and the sedan chair will not fail."

Daiyu was stunned when she heard this, and her bright and quiet face suddenly became angry. She pinched Jia Heng and whispered: "I will tell Sister Bao later that I will not get on the sedan chair that day to see you get married." Who goes!"

The girl's voice has the charm of a little girl, but also has some indescribable beauty and charm.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "The queue of people from both houses who want to get on the sedan chair will fill the entire Ningrong Street."

Daiyu: "..."

Obviously really annoyed, he said: "Then let someone else get on the sedan chair, I won't go."

As he said this, he was so angry that he wanted to get up and leave.

However, the young man suddenly grabbed his arm.

Lin Ruhai on the side couldn't really see this. She felt her face was slightly hot. She picked up the tea cup on the side and turned her face away. She couldn't bear to look at it.

This young couple...are not shy about others?

Jia Heng stretched out his hand to hold the beauty's slender catkin and said, "Okay, Sister Lin, my uncle is still here."

It's also because the two of them are married, and the fight at the moment does have the flavor of a young couple who are inseparable.

Daiyu also realized what she was doing at this moment. Her petite face, as beautiful as jade, was blushing as brightly as the clouds. Her eyelids were slightly closed, her shining star-like eyes were lowered, and she felt her heart pounding non-stop. .

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "It's getting late. I'll go to Xifu first to see the old lady and discuss Yu'er's marriage."

I really can't stand these two young people who are flirting with each other.

Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he said softly: "Uncle, please go slowly."

After Lin Ruhai left, Jia Heng looked at Daiyu aside and said, "Look at you, are you going to make my uncle angry?"

Daiyu's eyebrows were filled with shame and anger, and she scolded: "Isn't it you? Are you just being annoying there?"

Jia Heng gently took the girl's slender hand and headed towards the backyard. At this moment, in the hall, the warm sunlight was shining quietly in the courtyard, and the glazed tiles covering the pavilions could faintly be seen shining.

"You haven't explained it to me yet... um~" Before the girl could finish her words, she saw the young man had already brought his head closer. Suddenly, the wanton and wanton breath rushed towards her face, and suddenly grabbed the soft and shiny skin. The moist lips capture the sweet and refreshing breath.

At this moment, it was like the thump of a domineering boss, like the youthful love of a boy and a girl, with a hint of luscious youthfulness in the sweetness.

Daiyu felt that her crystal clear heart was filled with great joy.

If love has a shelf life, Jia Heng installed preservatives on Daiyu, keeping her in a dizzy state of being in love at all times.

Every minute and second we spend together is of high quality.

Jia Heng stared at Daiyu, looking at the beauty with full eyes, and said softly: "Sister Lin, you will marry me in a few days."

As the absolute heroine in Red Mansions, Daiyu can be said to be in the eternal C position, possessing the most beautiful qualities of a woman in the world.

Daiyu's bright and soft jade cheeks were almost blushing like clouds with shame, and her pair of shining star eyes were already flowing. She couldn't help but be stunned by it and said: "Brother Heng."

From now on, she will be Brother Heng's married wife. Those worries about the dark knot in the beaded body disappeared at this moment.

She didn't have to ask for her status, Brother Heng would give it to her.

Then, the girl snuggled her green-haired head into Jia Heng's arms, her bright starry eyes slightly closed, as if sniffing some kind of scent from the young man.

Jia Heng and Daiyu hugged each other for a while and said, "Okay, sister, it's noon now, let's go to Hengwu Garden."

Daiyu said "hmm" and said: Sister Bao has also been thinking about Brother Heng a little bit these days. Brother Heng is busy with his wedding outside and has never been there. "

There are more and more girls in front of me, and I am really overwhelmed.

Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Daiyu and said softly: "Then let's go find her now."

As he said this, he held Daiyu's slender arms in his arms, with some expectations in his heart that he would be able to marry Daiyu on the upcoming wedding day.

In fact, as the threshold increases, only this kind of thing can make him want to explore more.

Daiyu's beautiful cheeks were as red as a blush, and a light blush gradually appeared. She straightened her slightly messy clothes and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Heng, I won't go."

To avoid waiting a while, Brother Heng thought about hugging him from left to right again.

I haven't even gotten married to Brother Heng yet.

Jia Heng waved and said, "Sister Lin..."

Daiyu had a bright face, her sides were blushing like clouds, and she said softly: "I'm going to talk to my father about my feelings. Brother Heng, please go by yourself."

While talking, Daiyu had already left the wing where Jia Heng was, and called Zicuckoo who was waiting at the Moon Gate in the distance.

Jia Heng didn't talk nonsense, and then walked along the corridor with red eaves and green railings towards Hengwu Garden. In this way, Jia Heng crossed the gurgling Qinfang River and walked slowly along the covered bridge. At this moment, it was late autumn, the vegetation was golden, everything was withered, and the leaves were falling, creating a bleak autumn scene.

Jia Heng had just walked along the covered bridge and was about to turn towards Hengwu Garden, but when he raised his eyes, he was stunned and said: "Sister Baoqin."

Bao Qin saw Jia Heng at this moment. Under her beautiful eyebrows, her bright eyes couldn't help but light up and sparkle. She called out happily: "Brother Heng, long time no see."

Jia Heng nodded, walked closer, held Baoqin's slender catkins in his hands, and said, "Sister Baoqin, you are waiting here specially for me."

Speaking of which, I haven't talked to the little fat girl since I came back.

Bao Qin looked into those burning eyes, lowered her head slightly, and whispered: "I am also alone in the house. I just came out. Brother Heng, my sister is not in Hengwu Garden. She is still in Lixiangyuan at the moment."

Jia Heng said: "Well, let's go to Hengwu Garden."

In fact, Baochai may not know it.

The little fat girl's pink and plump face at the moment, her jade cheeks on both sides were as hot as fire, said: "Brother Heng, it's better to change places."

If her cousin saw her "bullying" Brother Heng like this, she wouldn't know how to hurt her.

Jia Heng thought for a moment, nodded, and followed Bao Qin as he walked quickly towards the covered bridge made of blue and white stones.

Bao Qin said softly: "Brother Heng, the old lady seems to have mentioned my marriage."

Jia Heng smiled, took the girl's white and soft slender hand, and said softly: "Does this... want you to marry Baoyu?"

Baoqin's moist, apricot eyes, which were as good as Baochai's, seemed to have a hint of embarrassment, and she seemed to be a little angry and said: "Brother Heng, I want to marry but I can't, old lady." The second wife and I think my background is not very good."

This incident obviously made the little fat girl remember it.

Jia Heng pinched her pink cheeks and said, "That's not right. As I said last time, the old lady still wants Xiangyun to marry Baoyu."

Bao Qin raised her head and said with curiosity on her plump and fair face, "Does Brother Heng also want Sister Yun to marry Brother Bao?"

At this moment, behind a splendid mica lady screen, Xiangyun was waiting in the closet. Her charming and bright apple face was as bright as fire, and she was listening to what the young man said with her ears.

Jia Heng smiled and said: "Sister Yun's childish temperament is not suitable for marrying Baoyu. Both of them have childish temperaments. There must be one who worries about career and finances."

Under Baoqin's willow eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes were as bright as water, and she said softly: "What do you think of Xiangyun, Brother Heng?"

At this moment, Jia Heng frowned, vaguely hearing a sudden and rapid breathing, and was secretly surprised.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Sister Yun is actually fine."

As he said that, he took Baoqin's bare hand and held it in his arms. The chubby girl's plump and soft body was close to her skin in his arms, and waves of fragrance lingered under her nose.

Jia Heng piled up the snowman in the little fat girl's arms. He felt the softness and tenderness of his heart, and said softly: "Sister Baoqin, why do you ask me about this?"

The sides of Bao Qin's pink and plump face gradually became rosy. She said softly: "Brother Heng, I'm just asking casually. The girls in the garden are getting older day by day. These two... By the year, they will get married."

Jia Heng smiled and asked jokingly: "Sister Yun is also a little anxious, so I asked you to ask?"

These golden hairpins in the back house look silly and sweet, but in fact each one is more scheming than the last.

Baoqin's pink cheeks were as red as a blush, and she felt her heart pounding. She said softly: "That's right, what are you going to do, Brother Heng?"

Jia Heng thought for a while and said casually: "If she has a husband she likes, tell me when the time comes and I will help her make the decision."

Under Baoqin's curved willow-leaf slender eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes seemed to be glowing, and her eyes flickered slightly. Just as she was about to speak, she felt waves of tremors coming from her delicate body. It was obvious that the young man was already close to her. Before taking off his clothes.

Bao Qin put her arm around Jia Heng's shoulders, her pink and chubby face flushed with rouge, and her voice trembled uncontrollably as she said, "Well, then I... I'll tell her~"

Brother Heng is really, he didn't even say a few words, he was just being intimate with her.

really...

However, the girl also felt trembling at the moment, and her legs under the pink skirt were a little closer together.

After a while, Jia Heng looked at Bao Qin, whose beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed and her face was as red as the clouds. She leaned close to the beauty's ear and whispered: "Sister Bao Qin, please serve me."

Baoqin: "???"

What's the meaning? Did she hear wrongly?

Jia Heng pinched the little chubby girl's pink cheeks that looked like a porcelain doll, leaned close to the girl's ear, and said, "Then shall I serve Sister Baoqin first?"

Baoqin bit her glossy pink lips with her white teeth, her moist apricot eyes seemed to be filled with hazy mist, and she said softly "Hmm".

Speaking of which, she had not received any love from Brother Heng for a year.

Jia Heng didn't say much, and gently hugged Bao Qin's plump body, and then came to an embroidered couch behind a bamboo and stone screen.

At this moment, the splendid curtains are hanging down, and the pink tassels on the golden hooks are shaking gently.

Jia Heng was now lying down on the bed with the plump and soft little chubby girl in his arms.

At this moment, the soft sunlight of late autumn was sparsely falling through the window lattice, and the two white, fat, almost pure short legs were so white that it was almost dazzling.

In fact, Baoqin is not that short, and she can't be called short-legged, but she can't compare to Xianning, Xiaoxiao and the others.

It should be more suitable for JK style.

And just like the garden in full bloom in March in spring, it is full of white snow pear flowers, and a cluster of pink and bright peach blossoms can be vaguely seen. Among the thousands of white snow, they are especially delicate, soft, and bright.

The autumn wind was incomprehensible and gently caressed the peach blossoms. For a while, the snow-white pear branches shivered in the autumn wind and shuddered. I don’t know how long it took, but the autumn dew that gathered on the branches last night fell.

At this moment, behind a mica screen painted with bamboo, wood, and rocks, Shi Xiangyun was leaning against the screen and looking at him. He had a red apple face, as hot as fire, and his hand holding a handkerchief tightly covered his mouth.

At this moment, I felt that my delicate body was weakening and my mind was inexplicably trembling.

Brother Heng is indeed bullying Sister Baoqin.

Huh, let her catch him later.

It was just a girl with a charming and naive temperament. Looking at the scene that looked like a puppy drinking water, Xiangyun almost clenched the handkerchief in her hand, staring at it intently, ready to find an opportunity to reveal the bad things between the two of them, and then let Jia Heng. Help solve your own marriage problems.

Palace Garden, Wenyuan Pavilion——

It was almost noon, the autumn air was crisp, the sky was high and the clouds were clear.

In the palace with double eaves and hooked corners, Gao Zhongping was discussing the recent central government affairs with Qi Kun, the Minister of Household Affairs, and others in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Today's Han Dynasty is far from being a place of peace and prosperity. Although the New Deal has been promoted locally, there are still some obstacles, and the military settlements and farmland are still being organized.

Gao Zhongping, with a frosty complexion, said in a cold voice: "Since the beginning of summer this year, Huaibei has been hit by floods. The Ministry of Household Affairs has sent two million taels of silver to help the victims. Local officials have severely deducted money. The officials can only manage for one or two years, and they have been corrupted to this extent. It’s really heartbreaking.”

However, this time it was local officials who failed in their duty to provide relief, and it had nothing to do with the Hedao Yamen.

Qi Kun said: "On this matter, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also sending officials to Jiangnan to investigate. The Ministry of Household Affairs has written to the Jinling Household Office and has temporarily allocated a batch of relief funds."

The Han Dynasty during the Chongping period was still in the Little Ice Age, and things did not go smoothly from then on because of the arrival of Jia Heng and the promotion of the New Deal.

Even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Pass in parallel time and space, natural disasters would still be frequent during the Shunzhi and Kangxi years, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no external enemies and could calmly provide relief.

Li Zan put down the teacup in his hand and said: "In the military camps in Huguang, Yunnan and other places, after inspections by several military aircraft drivers, the number of cases where the colonels owned private fields and the soldiers were bullied into being domestic servants has been reduced a lot, but we still need to dig deeper. Follow closely."

In the past year, Jia Heng led his army to the Japanese country to lead troops in the war, and the entire Han Dynasty was not idle either. The New Deal and military affairs were also in full swing.

After a year of implementation, initial results were achieved, and only then did Emperor Chongping issue an edict, appointing Jia Heng as Grand Master and bestowing him with a wedding hairpin.

It can be said that the New Deal has profoundly changed the backward situation of the Han Dynasty, which was poor and weak, and the country was in poverty and the people were embarrassed. It is called: "He changed the Han Dynasty".

Gao Zhongping asked: "The day before yesterday, Duke Wei said that he would prepare a naval force in Tianjin and Weihai. What does Mr. Li Ge think?"

Li Zan was silent for a moment and said: "As Duke Wei said, use the navy to protect maritime trade. After the Jurchens are pacified, most of the Nine Borders will be abolished. This will save some military expenses and switch to maritime trade."

Gao Zhongping nodded,

On this point, the two cabinet ministers had no disagreement.

Gao Zhongping was silent for a moment and said: "In the next two days, after Duke Wei's wedding, we will discuss going to Weihai and Tianjin to prepare for the naval division."

Li Zan asked: "Preparing the naval division requires a large number of Hongyi cannons. How many Hongyi cannons can the Ordnance Supervision produce in one month?"

Shi Jie, the Minister of War, explained at the side: "Mr. Ge, I'm reporting from the Ordnance Supervisor that the Hongyi cannon can produce six cannons per month. Although the output is limited, it can barely supply the needs of the navy."

Gao Zhongping nodded and asked with a smile: "The Hongyi cannon has made many achievements in naval battles. In the future, it will be deployed in Duoduo. How did I hear that the flintlock gun was actually sharper than the matchlock gun? In the two During the confrontation between the two armies, is it like the Hongyi cannon to the Folang machine gun? Can it be completely suppressed? "

After all, Gao Zhongping is a man who knows the military, and he obviously has a clear understanding of the decisive role of the flintlock gun in the war.

Shi Jie, the minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Mr. Gaoge, the flintlock muskets are still limited by production. We can only make two hundred in a month."

Gao Zhongping asked: "How is the flintlock gun used in warfare?"

Shi Jie said: "Looking back at the old naval battles, during the confrontation between the two armies, Guan Zhi's bow and arrows were even sharper. Whenever an enemy enemy encountered them, both men and horses would be frightened. A hundred steps away, a target would be struck." Killed by a stone."
