The Red Mansions

Chapter 51
In the wing-

The master and servant sit across a small table.

"Why don't you eat tonight?" Jia Heng smiled, and suddenly said in a warm voice.

Qingwen lowered her head, twisted her fingers, and said, "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat."

Jia Heng was silent for a while, and said, "Aren't you hungry, or don't want to eat?"

Seeing that Qingwen's lips moved, but she didn't answer after all, Jia Heng thought for a while and said, "But because of the two sisters?"

Qingwen's delicate body trembled, she shook her head, and nodded again.

Jia Heng said: "You should have heard it just now, they are also people from poor backgrounds, working here, at least they can survive."

He was also a little puzzled for a while. In the original "Dream of Red Mansions", Qingwen didn't seem to have any xenophobia towards the people who came and went in Baoyu's room?

That's right, her words were a bit harsh, she had ridiculed Xiren for being a playboy, she had also ridiculed Sheyue, she also kept the door closed to Daiyu, and even caused a small misunderstanding between Bao Dai and her husband.

In short, Qingwen was quite mean, and she scolded people badly. Just now, Qingwen flirted with him because she was in a bad mood.

"Sir, do you want to teach them both to read and write?" Just as Jia Heng was thinking about it, Qingwen suddenly raised her shining eyes and asked.

"Huh?" Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, looked at the girl's fluctuating eyes, frowned, and said: "Teaching you alone, I still feel that I don't have enough time and energy. How can I have extra time and energy to teach others?" , Of course, if you don’t want to learn, that’s fine, I’m happy to be free.”

And at this moment, Bi'er's voice came from outside the wing room: "Master Heng, the hot water is ready."

While speaking, he entered the room with a towel, raised a childish and thin face, and said, "Master Heng, I will serve you to take a bath."

"I took a shower first, let's talk about it later." Jia Heng went to take the clothes and said to Qingwen who stood there in a daze.

At this moment, Qingwen seemed to realize that she quickly walked towards the wing room, and said softly, "My lord, I have prepared a change of clothes for you. There is a piece of robe that is unthreaded at the armpit. I sewed it up today. I will give it to you." Take it."

When the girl turned around, her cheeks were as red as rouge, and she spoke very fast, with a bit of haste.

Jia Heng frowned, glanced at the maid Bi'er, waved her hand, and said, "Go and ask your aunt if there is any food in the stove, heat it up and send it here."

"Yes, Master Heng." The maid Bi'er agreed.

But not long after leaving, the girl who was walking on the veranda with her clothes paused in her footsteps, and her trembling body seemed to have calmed down a lot.

Jia Heng shook his head lightly, and headed towards the west chamber.

There are five main rooms in Jia's old house, three main rooms, east and west compartments, and the west compartment is where the tubs are placed and used for bathing on weekdays.

And the two rough envoy maids lived in the same room with Aunt Cai.

At this time, Qingwen had put her clothes on the screen, lowered her head, and stared at her toes with her delicate and bright face under the dim light.

"My lord, I will serve you in the bath."

Jia Heng said: "I'm used to being alone, I don't need others to serve me, so go out."

Regardless of whether Qingwen simply wanted to serve him in the bath or not, it was not good for him to keep Qingwen here.

Well, it's not like when you were a teenager, you should avoid sex.

Rather, if it's not just taking a bath, it's okay to say, at most Jia Ziyu... first test Yun Yuqing, if he just takes a bath, how embarrassing would it be for him to be a normal man?
However, Qingwen, who teased Sheyue and Baoyu in the original book for getting a lot of water in the bath, was still innocent with Baoyu when she was dying. Qingwen, who was as bright as the bright moon, offered to serve him in the bath. has no other meaning.

"My lord has been drinking." Qingwen raised her pretty and bright melon-seeded face, her voice trembling already.

"It's just a few drinks, it's okay." Jia Heng urged: "Get out, wait a little longer, the water is cold."

When Qingwen heard this, she bit her lower lip with her white teeth, after all, she didn't say anything, and quietly left the room. At some point, she felt her heart beating violently.

Just now, she didn't know what happened, but after hearing what Bi'er said, and the young master's attitude of not refusing, she fell in love for a moment...

"Sister Qingwen, the young master had someone heat up your meal and put it in your room." Bi'er walked by and said silently.

"You little hoof, are you trying to scare people to death?" Qingwen raised Liu Yemei, her almond eyes were full of evil, and scolded.

Bi'er lowered her head, buried it in her chest, and said in a low voice, "Sister Qingwen, I didn't do it on purpose."

Qingwen looked at the timid girl, and she didn't have any interest in cursing, she just said in a low voice: "Young Master, you never let people wait on you when you take a bath, so don't just think about climbing high branches every day, Mr. Heng, that's called by outsiders, I'm going to call you son in the future, do you hear me clearly?"

"Hmm..." The girl replied in a low voice.

After Qingwen finished speaking in one breath, she felt better and went back to the house.

Jia Heng was taking a bath in the west chamber, his face paused, and he sighed. No matter how soft his voice was, he practiced internal martial arts, and he had excellent eyes and ears, so he could hear clearly.

"The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. I have to adjust it slowly, otherwise Qingwen's temperament will not be able to talk to Keqing in the future."

Jia Heng felt that there was a high probability that there would be a day, and if he wanted to live a more comfortable life, he had to take all these into consideration.

Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs...

This is also the reason why he would not touch Qingwen before marriage even if he had the chance. He needs to consider Qin Keqing, his fiancée.

No matter what, Qin Keqing has fulfilled the marriage contract, and he must give it a minimum of respect.

After Jia Heng took a bath, he changed into clean clothes and returned to the East Chamber. He saw that Qingwen had already memorized the card with a card, obviously preparing for his investigation.

"Young master." Seeing Jia Heng entering the room, Qingwen just called out, but the previous resentment disappeared.

Jia Heng said: "Have you eaten?"

Qingwen nodded slightly.

Jia Heng didn't delay, picked up a stack of literacy cards and shuffled them, and said with a smile: "Study, study, just study without reviewing, you can only forget while learning."

As he spoke, he handed the literacy card to Qingwen and said, "You take one."

When Qingwen heard this, an intoxicating blush appeared on her pretty face, she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, and said with a smile: "Then I'm smoking."

Gently drew one.

I have to say, if she is really the number one maid in the Red Mansion, this color is indeed charming and bright.

Looking at Qingwen who closed her eyes and smiled sweetly, Jia Heng felt emotional in her heart, no wonder she was arrogant and mean.

The night is misty, and before you know it, the night will pass, and the dawn will break in the east, and it will come again in a day.

The years do not live, the seasons flow.

For the next three days, Jia Heng repeated the two-point and one-line life between Wencui Pavilion of the Imperial College and his family.

Until this day, Jia Heng prepared gifts and headed towards Qin's house.

At this time, the ceremony of the three books and six ceremonies was performed for the wedding, and Jia Heng had passed the registration fee the day before yesterday, so this day was the date of application.

Once the date of marriage is fixed, the next step is to welcome in person.

According to Jia Heng's opinion, the sooner the marriage is over, the better, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, but from the perspective of the Qin family, it may be necessary to calculate an auspicious day, and of course the two families need to discuss the specific matters of welcoming the relatives.

Qin's family, Qin Ye had already reported to the Ministry for leave today, and was specially waiting at home for Jia Heng's visit, and agreed on the date of marriage and the subsequent wedding ceremony.

Although it is a small family with a small family, but it is also marrying a daughter as a wife, so it is still necessary to take care of it.

Qin Ye planned to invite some colleagues from the Ministry of Industry to a banquet.

"It's just that Jia Heng, I don't know how to deal with it. I don't know if I will invite relatives and friends from the Jia family. I hope... don't wrong my family, but you are the one." Qin Ye was standing under the eaves at the moment, his old face showing thoughts color.
