Ningguo Mansion
In the courtyard, the spring rain is pattering, beating the eaves and rocks, the candles are brightly lit in the wing room, the warm fragrance is intertwined with the fragrance of tea, and the boudoir Qiongying gathers together.
Jia Heng handed the empty green jade bucket to Miao Yu, and said softly: "Master, pour me another cup."
Miao Yuyu's face was cold and clear, upon hearing this, she glanced at Jia Heng, reached out to take the green jade bucket, lifted the teapot aside, and poured tea.
Slightly lowering his eyes, seeing the steaming tea in the green jade bucket, he said calmly: "One cup is for the first grade, the second cup is for thirst-quenching fools, and the third grade is for cows to drink and mules to drink."
Jia Heng didn't take it seriously, and said: "I just talked a lot, I'm really thirsty, and besides, the master's tea art is pretty good."
Miaoyu looked at the boy opposite and handed it over.
Jia Heng took the teacup, looked at Xichun who was at the side, and said, "Fourth sister is still young, there are still many interesting things in this world, you have never seen or played with them before."
A person's life is full of ups and downs, and it is most likely to have a negative and avoid the world mentality.
The three spring scenes are not long, but the makeup of the previous years is changed.The poor embroiderer Hou Men's girl, lying alone next to the ancient Buddha with a blue lantern.
Xichun nodded, seeing Xinran on her cold face, said: "Yes, Brother Heng."
"If you learn how to live in the world, you can learn the temperament of your cousin Xiuyan, who is happy in poverty, calm and self-sufficient." Jia Heng put down the teacup, looked up at Xing Xiuyan, and praised in a low voice: "The ancients said that the forest is elegant, and the heart is pure." Ying, probably so."
In the original work, Baoyu called Xing Xiuyan the temperament of idle clouds and wild cranes, which refers to a temperament of graceful pavilions and clean plants, without vines or branches. From what he sees, Xing Xiuyan seems to have the charm of Wei and Jin women, which means that his expression is loose and bright, like a forest The air under the sun, the pure heart and the jade reflection, are naturally the beauty of the boudoir.
Compared with Miaoyu, who was born in a family of officials, with arrogance hidden in his heart, Xing Xiuyan grew up in a poor family and lived in a temple with his family. He was treated with cold eyes, but he did not develop an inferiority complex and a narrow-minded temperament. On the contrary, he was not affected by his original family. Be open-minded and friendly.
Although she is also a young girl, she is not hypocritical.
In fact, in the red building, there are not only black shadows and hairpins, but also such figures as Feng Wan and Miaoxiu, who are opposite to each other.
Xing Xiuyan was holding a teacup, savoring Jia Heng's words, or in other words, thinking about Jia Heng himself, when he suddenly heard these compliments, his heart skipped a beat, especially when he saw Miaoyu and Xichun both With "clear" and "surprised" gazes, his cheeks flushed slightly, his brows drooped, a little embarrassed, and he said in a low voice: "Master Heng... is too good."
But doubts arose in my heart, does this person seem to know her very well?
The girl just listened carefully, but it has nothing to do with admiration, but the curiosity and thinking that arise spontaneously when people see the scenery that they have never seen before.
It's like listening to those wavers in the reform era, or in the Internet age, pointing out the country and inspiring the words, it can be said that listening to the king's words is better than one... It's better than reading ten years of books.
What's more, this kind of general who occupies a high position, above the temple, assists the king to rule the world, and is also a person of the same age.
Xichun nodded, looked at Xing Xiuyan, and said crisply: "Cousin's temperament is calm and natural, and I look respectable."
Miaoyu heard that Jia Heng and Xichun praised Xing Xiuyan, her face remained cold, she picked up the teacup, brought it to her lips, and took a sip.
Lin Xia is charming, pure in heart and beautiful in reflection, really...
For some reason, there was a trace of irritability in my heart.
This move is no different from that in the original book, in which Baoyu praises Baochai in front of Daiyu, who is beautiful and intelligent, and suitable for an IKEA house.
Jia Heng turned to look at Yingchun, who had worried brows, and said softly, "Second sister, can you tell me anything?"
Yingchun shook her head, and said in a low voice: "Father and second brother's matter, brother Heng and the old lady are in charge, so I can't say anything."
She is a daughter's family, what can she say on this matter?
In fact, there is not much in my heart...
Miao Yu's eyes flickered, and she turned to ask: "I heard that at the court meeting today, is it the prince who impeached?"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "It's him, he will take revenge for every wrongdoing, and he has no royal bearing. I recently read the file of the case in Suzhou."
Since the last time Jia Heng revealed that Miaoyu's father was the former Suzhou Weaver.
"Master Heng..." Miaoyu asked in a startled voice after hearing this, her face changed slightly.
If she still had any wish, it would be to clean up her father's grievances.
Jia Heng said: "It is true that there are many doubts. When I turn around, I will bring the file and talk to you about it."
Miaoyu's father, although he can't be called a breeze, but he can't be said to be a big mouse, he was suspected of being a scapegoat because he offended King Zhongshun.
Miaoyu nodded her head emphatically, and a surge of hope couldn't help but surge in her heart.
Several people sat and talked again, Jia Heng nodded towards Xichun, and said softly: "It's getting late, my sister should rest earlier."
He will be staying in the palace tomorrow, so it's not easy to stay longer.
While Jia Heng was having a tea talk in Miaoyu's room, the night was dark and rainy and cold. In the courtyard where Daiyu lived, the candles in the wing room were brightly lit, casting a few beautiful shadows on the curtains.
"Miss, let's eat." Zijuan walked to the inner room, called Daiyu softly, and said in a low voice: "Miss, don't do needlework at night, you will damage your eyes if you are careful."
Behind him, Xueyan, Chunxian, and several nuns stood in front of the small table with the food, and took out the dishes, chopsticks and spoons from the food box one by one.
Daiyu was wearing a pink jacket with a stand-up collar and a pair of skirts with pink and orange embroidered plum blossoms. She sat quietly on the bed, put down the half-embroidered sachet in her hand, and said, "I haven't embroidered much for a long time, and my hands are a little raw."
Then, when he got up, he went to wash his hands.
Zijuan handed over the towel, her face was naturally apple-shaped, rosy like a cloud, and said in a low voice: "Girl, I haven't been to Dongfu for a while."
While wiping her hands with a towel, Daiyu sat down in front of the small table, picked up her chopsticks, raised her beautiful face, and said, "Didn't you just go there on the Lantern Festival?"
Of course, at that time, everyone acted together without saying anything.
Zijuan scooped up the bird's nest and red date porridge with a spoon, stirred it gently to let off the heat, so that Daiyu could eat it later, she didn't know whether it was intentional or intentional, and said, "I heard that Miss Bao is doing it for her brother's business these days." , not less to go to the East Mansion to find the uncle."
"Others just go to other people." Daiyu was silent, lowered her eyes slightly, and thought: "I don't have a brother who wants to go to Wucheng Bingmasi."
When Daiyu was in Rongguo Mansion, she sometimes went to sit at Baochai in Lixiangyuan. When Baochai was away several times, she asked Wen Xing. She heard that she always went to the East Mansion to look for Jia Heng. .
"Speaking of which, around the past few days, the family has been in a mess these past few days. Something happened to Second Master Bao, and now Second Master Lian..." Zijuan said with emotion as he handed over the warm porridge.
Daiyu said softly: "A year ago, one incident after another, it seemed like bad luck was entangled. It's strange that big sister said earlier that there will be a safe funeral."
As she spoke, holding the handkerchief, she picked up the spoon to scoop up the porridge, and passed it to her lips. The movement was very delicate, and Xu felt it was a little hot. Her cherry red lips pursed slightly, and she blew on the spoon, and then her lips closed together , eating in small bites.
"Yesterday, didn't the master send a letter, talking about things in the southern province, and the girl can also go to the East Mansion to find Master Heng and said." Zijuan thought for a while, then smiled and said: "There is still next month. The girl gave birth, after the girl gave birth, she will be thirteen years old, so you have to celebrate it well."
Zijuan didn't have other thoughts about Jia Heng, but just wanted Daiyu to have an older brother, so that she could rely on Jia's family.
Daiyu picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, when her delicate eyebrows frowned, she said softly: "It's annoying every day, and it's probably annoying. Save yourself the trouble."
Zicuckoo: "..."
In fact, I can roughly guess some of the thoughts of my girl. Since that time when she invited her host, she felt left out.
In fact, in the original book, Baoyu often visits the house and hangs in front of Daiyu almost every day. He even lies on the same bed in the episode "The Jade Makes Fragrance on a Quiet Day" and talks about "Little Mouse Fragrant Taro". joke.
But now, after Baoyu was beaten, her injuries are still not healed. Of course, her injuries are very good, and Daiyu has long been protected by men and women, and the inside is not allowed to enter.
As for Jia Heng, it was really good for a while, bad for a while, why did he ever revolve around Daiyu?
Zijuan said softly: "Miss Xue was a guest last time, and the birth was quite lively, but I don't want to have anything to do with the second master."
This is to say that on that day, Jia Lian and Bao's family were fooling around, and Sister Feng had a scene.
Daiyu gave a soft "hmm", obviously not very concerned about the "Others".
"Uncle Heng didn't say he remembered the girl's birth last time, but also said it was the Huachao Festival, so I don't know what to give the girl that day?" Zijuan smiled lightly and said to himself.
Hearing this, Daiyu paused for a moment with her chopsticks, her starry eyes flashed, for some reason, she suddenly thought of the ring that Baochai was wearing on her finger the day before yesterday, she had never seen her wearing it, and she did not know who gave it to her. her.
This thought was fleeting, he frowned, lowered his starry eyes, looked at the bird's nest porridge again, and said softly: "You can give whatever you want, maybe if you don't give it, it's okay."
Zicuckoo: "..."
Alas, my girl's sudden little emotion.

Daming Palace
Emperor Chongping sat in the inner study for a while, reviewing the memorial, the spring rain was getting stronger outside, and the lights in the house had already been lit.
Not long after, the eunuch said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the empress has gone outside the palace."
While speaking, Empress Song walked gracefully into the palace under the service of a group of female officials and court ladies. , Elegant and gorgeous.
"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner." Empress Song approached and called out.
Emperor Chongping put down the memorial, looked up at the beauty, smiled and said, "Zitong, here we come."
Empress Song said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine has already selected a candidate for Ran'er Concubine these few days, please take a look."
As he said that, he handed over a bronzing paper with the pattern of Erluanfeng and Ming, which was the list of concubines selected for the king of Wei. It records family background, age, as well as ordinary words and conduct.
"Oh?" Emperor Chongping said softly, took the paper, read the words on it, and asked casually: "Last time, there was another Wang family? Is it Wang Ziteng's granddaughter?"
Empress Song Yurong smiled sweetly, and said softly: "But I heard that most of the Wang's daughters don't study, so I dismissed this discussion, and the concubines also felt that it was not appropriate, so they were removed from the list."
In fact, it was King Wei who reminded Queen Song that Wang Ziteng and Jia Heng were not in harmony, and even had disagreements, so Queen Song let it go.
Emperor Chongping closed the Cambodian paper, nodded his head, recognized the list, and said: "Tomorrow, the cabinet will draw up an edict and send it to China and foreign countries."
When the vassal king opens the mansion and canonize the concubine, he must announce it in the form of an imperial edict, and record the concubine's name in the sect spies.
As Emperor Chongping said, he put the Cambodian paper on the memorial on the imperial case aside, and said, "Zitong, let's go have dinner."
However, at this moment, Dai Quan hurried over from outside the hall, knelt down, and said: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Chongping paused slightly, looked at Dai Quan, and asked blankly, "Is there any clue about Jia Amnesty's case?"
Dai Quan handed over a recorded statement and said, "Your Majesty, first-class supernatural general Jia She and his son Jia Lian were transferred to the Internal Police Factory for interrogation. Ping'an Prefecture smuggled and smuggled goods into the grasslands. At the beginning, they prepared ordinary items to pass through the checkpoints in order to escape the market tax. Later, they became more and more courageous and smuggled iron and grain to the Mongolian Chahar tribe in the grassland. However, this tribe is related to Donglu According to Jia She's self-identification, the generals of Datong and Xuanfu and their generals also smuggled to the grasslands, but Jia She was moved by the profit and did not intend to support the Hulu. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
After Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were sent to the internal police for interrogation, it didn't take long at all. With the torture equipment lined up, the two confessed and told some details of the rumors, in order to seek justice and not blame the public.
Emperor Chongping's face darkened when he heard the words, and he said, "Datong, Xuanfu? These people are really my loyal ministers and good generals! It's exactly what Jia Ziyu said earlier, that smuggling and trafficking were rampant in the lands of Jin and Dai?"
Sensing Longyan's fury, Dai Quan's expression was serious, and he didn't dare to respond for a while.
Emperor Chongping said coldly: "It's unreasonable for the general to collude with merchants to smuggle to the Hulu even though his desire is hard to satisfy with the deduction of salary!"
Dai Quan bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, calm down."
Empress Song on the side also offered words of comfort.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons, and said in a cold voice: "The border general is not easy to move now, so I will hide this confession for now. Didn't King Beijing go to Datong and Xuanfu? Wait for his investigation." After the side affairs are over, let’s make calculations.”
The side generals hold a heavy army and have deep roots in the local area. If one is not good, it will easily cause a chain reaction. Even if they want to arrest and interrogate them, they need to be well-planned.
What's more, the smuggling frontier is definitely not as simple as Cui Ling, the governor of Ping'an Province.
"Your Majesty, how did the Jia family get involved in the smuggling case?" Empress Song's jaded expression changed slightly, and she felt uneasy for a moment, and couldn't help asking in a low voice.
"It's from the Rongguo Mansion. I'm still thinking about how to deal with it." Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice with a cold expression.
Empress Song's beautiful eyes were rippling, and she cautiously asked tentatively, "Does Jia Ziyu know about this matter?"
"He is in charge of the Jinyi Mansion, how come he doesn't know? The reason why he didn't publish what he said in the above book is because there are rebels behind him, not only the side generals, but also..." Emperor Chongping said, realizing something, and suddenly Stay silent, said: "We will discuss after he enters the palace tomorrow."
Empress Song breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Since your Majesty is confident, why not have dinner first."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said nothing else.
