The Red Mansions

Chapter 72
While talking, Qingwen came from the outside, twisting the waist of the water snake, glanced at Qin Keqing who was sitting on the bed, and said softly: "My lord, the hot water is ready."

Jia Heng looked up at Qin Keqing, smiled, and said, "Keqing, wait a minute, I'll come over later."

He tossed back and forth, dusty, and wanted to take a bath.

Qin Keqing's originally tense mind relaxed a little, and said softly, "Your Majesty, let's go."

Jia Heng got up, walked behind the screen, and said, "Baozhu, pour some tea for grandma."

Now that the red hijab has been removed, there is no need to be so taboo about eating and drinking.

Then, Jia Heng came to the west chamber to take a bath. In the bathtub, Jia Heng was sorting out his thoughts while soaking in the bath.

The matter of Jia Zhen will come to fruition within a day or two, but from Xu Lu's implication, it should be difficult to punish her with capital punishment.

"I learned from Han Hui earlier that the person behind the Four Kings and Eight Dukes should be the Supreme Emperor, but the Supreme Emperor's favor will not be endless. The impeachment of the Emperor Chongping's close ministers, the Supreme Emperor wants to intervene, and what he has to pay The price is huge, especially when Emperor Chongping laid a nail on the ground even if he waived in the end." Jia Heng sorted out in his heart, "However, the dog jumped the wall in a hurry, and Jia Zhen needs to be watched by people to prevent her from even more crazy revenge. .”

Thinking of this, a beautiful and familiar face appeared in front of Jia Heng's eyes - You Shi.

"I need to find some time to see Youshi."

Jia Rong is definitely not good enough. Once Jia Zhen is blamed, especially if she is confiscated, Jia Rong's mind will probably change.

At that time, not only Jia Rong, but even Jia Mu's mind will change, and she will feel "resentment" towards him, a distant branch of Ningguo.

This is the human heart!
The power of the Jia Mansion itself is supported by Jia Zhen and Jia She, two successors to the nobility, and now one of the two pillars is removed, no matter how dominant he is, the people of the Jia Mansion will inevitably feel resentful.

As for You Shi, although this woman's interests were also affected by Jia Zhen, this married woman known as the "saw-mouthed gourd" in the Dream of Red Mansions is not an unreasonable person, and mainly has a weak temperament and is submissive.

At the Baoyu meeting in Yanning Mansion, Qin Zhong once said that he would not give Jiao Da any job at ordinary times, and would just treat him as a dead man, and he would be done with it, which shows that he treats others leniently.

Jia Heng thought for a while and waited for an opportunity to meet up tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happened, Jia's mansion would know that Jia Zhen was being imprisoned by Jingzhao Yamen tomorrow and let him go to Rongguo Mansion for questioning.

Thinking like this, Jia Heng also got up from the bathtub, wiped her body, changed her clothes, and saw Qingwen pursing her lips and smiling at the door.

"What are you laughing at?" Jia Heng froze for a moment, looking at Qingwen.

Qingwen handed over the fragrant tea from the side, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Young master, today is the day of the bridal chamber, and I have never seen anyone who is as slow as the young master."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Who else have you ever seen get married?"

Qingwen's face froze, she pursed her mouth, and said softly: "I heard people say, who else can I meet besides the young master? If the young master really has a wife, then..."

Jia Heng smiled and said: "I'm joking with you, and you're still angry, maybe you can make fun of me, but I'm not allowed to talk back, right?"

Qingwen fiddled with the hair on the front, a little aggrieved, and muttered in a low voice: "Why am I angry?"

Seeing Jia Heng smiling and not saying a word, he pushed Jia Heng's shoulder and said, "Master, hurry up to the bridal chamber, and be careful not to make young mistress wait in a hurry."

Jia Heng said: "You should also rest earlier."

He thought to himself, the courtyard he lives in is still too small after all, he doesn't need to listen to this corner, Qingwen can hear clearly across the wall.

Thinking this way, he has already returned to the wing.

"Uncle, grandma is reading in the back room." Baozhu said with a smile.

Jia Heng was taken aback for a moment, and thought to herself, this girl is "pretty arrogant and respectful later", but after thinking about it, it is human nature to have doubts about him before and to listen to wind and rain.

After all, the fate of the dowry maid and the young lady are closely linked.

Entering the room, I saw Qin Keqing holding a stack of manuscripts in his hand and reading them intently, his hibiscus and jade face was full of surprise and surprise.

"Keqing," Jia Heng called softly, sitting beside Qin Keqing, and said with a smile, "What are you looking at?"

"Is this written by Mr. Lang?" Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, and it was hard to hide her surprise on her beautiful face.

"Well, now that you are studying for exams, you have to find something to earn a living by writing articles. Didn't you say that at your father-in-law's house?" Jia Heng laughed.

Qin Keqing said softly: "Lang Jun said, I... forgot."

While talking, looking at the young man opposite, her cheeks gradually turned red with shame, her head drooped, she had misunderstood this man at the beginning, but what her father said was really brilliant.

Jia Heng smiled lightly, and said: "Okay, let's watch it tomorrow, it's getting late, it's time to rest."

While speaking, he took the manuscript from Qin Keqing's hand, put it on a few cases aside, and when he turned back, he went to untie Qin Keqing's lapel.

Qin Keqing also drooped her eyebrows slightly, removing the phoenix crown from her head.

At that time, the servant girl Baozhu walked out from the side at some unknown time, and said in surprise: "Young master, I haven't drunk the Hejin wine yet."

While speaking, the servant girl Rui Zhu picked up a tray from behind, on which were placed wine utensils.

Jia Heng glanced at the orb, took the wine cup, handed one to Qin Keqing, then picked up one by himself, and said, "Ke Qing, you can cross the same boat after ten years of cultivation, and sleep together in one hundred years of cultivation. You and I can drink this cup to the full."

At this moment, in the past and the present, I also feel a little bit emotional, getting married and starting a career.

Qin Keqing raised her white face like a peony stamen, her beautiful eyes under the willow-leaf eyebrows were as bright as water, she fixedly looked at the young man, her cherry lips moved, and said, "Lang Jun..."

The two drank their glasses of wine, put the wine cup back, Baozhu and Ruizhu looked at each other, they both saw a hint of embarrassment and joy in their eyebrows, and laughed in unison: "I wish my uncle and grandma a happy marriage for a hundred years and a precious son soon."

After the second servant girl left, Jia Heng looked at Qin Keqing who had flushed cheeks, drooping brows and eyes, and didn't know where to hide her hands, and called softly: "Keqing..."

"Lang Jun... um~"

Qin Keqing raised her eyes and glanced at the young man opposite, and saw a black shadow flash, and a warm, moist breath came towards her lips.

Qin Keqing's jade face was burning like fire, the beautiful eyes under the willow leaf slender eyebrows trembled, the curved eyelashes drooped, and she couldn't help but groaned in her nose.

……

……

The long night is deep, and it is the full moon of Mid-Autumn Festival. The moonlight is as bright as silver, hanging in the sky, but perhaps ashamed to see a certain scene, hidden behind the willow branches, on the high table, two red sticks with golden lacquer engraved with the word "Hi". The candle burns quietly, tears form a line, and suddenly, the red candle flame, the lights are crackling, and suddenly brighten up.

Red candles shine brightly and stay bright all night.

The next day, the golden rooster broke dawn, and the soft light of the morning light fell on the eaves, passing through the green bamboos with sparse branches and leaves, and entering the room through the window lattice. , with scattered clouds and temples, and a beautiful complexion, I can't help feeling a little bit of love and pity in my heart.

Possession gently kissed the beauty's smooth and jade-like forehead, got up lightly, put on a green shirt and robe, and got up to wash.

"My lord, did you get up so early?" Passing the wing room where Qingwen lived, Qingwen rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, obviously she fell asleep late last night.

Jia Heng's complexion was as usual, his eyes were piercing, he didn't see the tired look after the rain and wind last night, he smiled and said: "Get up and practice martial arts, the so-called day should not be wasted."

Although Wenxiang nephrite is good, it should not be indulged.

After Jia Heng finished speaking, he came to the courtyard, worked up his strength, and performed a set of boxing techniques. He felt extremely comfortable, and when he finished his skills, he saw the maid Bi'er standing in the courtyard, looking at him with shining eyes.

Jia Heng was surprised, and asked: "Do you understand?"
