Ningguo Mansion

Jia Mu asked curiously: "Why don't you see Brother Heng back today?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the beauty with slender eyebrows and various thoughts.

Especially Baochai's gaze was the most focused, almost unwavering.

Qin Keqing said softly: "This case of the collapse of the imperial mausoleum is of great importance. My husband is presiding over the case. He has been working day and night for the past two days. He didn't come back last night."

Well, Jia Heng stayed at Jinyang Princess Mansion yesterday, indeed day and night.

"After all, a vassal king was overthrown because of this case. Brother Heng, it is true that he is worried about this." Jia Mu nodded.

Sister Feng smiled and said: "What the old lady said is that, to be honest, I was almost frightened yesterday. There were so many ladies from Gaoming. I don't usually see so many of them. Yesterday they all came to visit together. It was really scary."

Already."

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Isn't this the reason for the rewards in the palace now?"

Jia Mu asked: "But sir, where is the imperial edict sealing the decree?"

"It has been enshrined in the ancestral hall." Qin Keqing said softly.

Jia Mu nodded repeatedly and said, "In a few days, I still want you to celebrate."

Qin Keqing said: "Now that my husband is busy with things outside, and things are going on in Beijing, it's better not to be too public."

After hearing this, Baochai paused slightly and pursed her pink lips.

This is really appropriate to say...

Jia Mu pretended to be angry and said, "We can celebrate by ourselves in the back house, and it won't hinder him."

"It's okay to hire a theater troupe and close the door and liven things up by yourself." Qin Keqing thought for a while and said softly.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "But what you are saying is that it doesn't matter if we have fun at home."

"That's the truth." Aunt Xue smiled.

At this time, Aunt Xue finally understood that there might be a risk of overturning if she followed her sister's interest, but if she followed Dongfu's interest, she would be safe.

As everyone gathered around and talked, they didn't realize that time flew by. Night fell and the lanterns started to turn on.

At this moment, a nun from outside came to report and said: "Grandma, the uncle has come back. He is going to take a bath and change clothes now. He will be back in a while."

Qin Keqing said: "The old lady is having dinner here, it's quite lively."

After a while, Xichun, accompanied by several maids, entered the hall, saluted Mother Jia and said, "Old ancestor, sister-in-law."

Mother Jia looked at Xichun and saw that the little girl was combing her hair with airy bangs and her face was red and pink. She couldn't help but smile and said: "Four girls, come here, let me see. She has grown taller and gained weight."

Saying that, he hugged Xichun into his arms.

Xichun also kept calling her ancestors.

In a world without Jia Heng, this arrogant little loli might have only gained a small amount of affection from Jia Mu.

Jia Mu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's time for your sisters to laugh at you, they are now grown girls now."

He thought to himself, when he looked at the young girl, there were no smile lines on her face. She was so cold-hearted that she didn't look like a child. Now when she looks at the little girl, she has more smiles than usual.

.

"Fourth girl, when I asked you to come and live with Brother Heng, I was still worried about you. It seems that Brother Heng loves you the most." Jia Mu joked with a smile.

But what Xichun said made her heart skip a beat.

Brother Heng seems to treat her differently?

I can’t explain why, but I always feel that Brother Heng treats her differently from the other sisters.

Qin Keqing smiled softly and said: "My ancestor is also the fourth sister. She has always been well-behaved and lovable. My husband and I both like the fourth sister."

Jia Mu sighed and said: "I'm relieved. Among so many girls, the ones I feel most sorry for are Si Yatou and Yu'er. They have a hard life. Although they are young, their thoughts are more serious than those of adults.

, Now that Brother Heng loves the fourth girl, I feel relieved."

At this time, Siqi, who was behind Yingchun, glanced at Jia Mu and thought to himself, the fourth girl and Miss Lin are suffering, isn't their girl suffering? She lost her mother long ago, and now even I... well, there is nothing better than having her.

powerful.

After all, what hurts the old lady the most is probably the Baoyu.

He turned around and glanced at Yingchun, only to see that he was holding the bracelet and looking at it, as if he had no reaction at all to what Jia Mu had just said.

I sighed quietly in my heart.

Baochai took the tea cup from Ying'er and watched the scene quietly, her thoughts a bit complicated.

Jia Mu called Daiyu over, smiled and waved and said, "Yu'er, come here too."

"Grandma." Dai Yu's beautiful face paused slightly, and she came closer.

Jia Mu sighed: "I have been without my mother since I was a child. The only thing I can't worry about is that now your brother Heng is taking care of you and recuperating you. I am also very happy. I will get closer to your sister-in-law more in the future. Walk around and don't be bored all the time."

In the courtyard."

"Sister-in-law." Daiyu raised her bright, watery eyes to look at Qin Keqing and called out in a low voice.

Qin Keqing looked at the girl with delicate features and said with a smile: "I also like Sister Lin's character."

Sister Feng smiled and said: "While we are talking, it's already dinner time, ancestor, my stomach is growling because I'm hungry."

Third Sister You smiled at the side and answered: "I have already ordered people to make dinner."

Looking at this scene, Jia Mu smiled a little and breathed a sigh of relief.

If only Feng girl could figure it out.

After several days, Jia Mu was also worried about Sister Feng being exiled because of Jia Lian, and she was depressed ever since. However, she saw Sister Feng gradually come out.

But on the other side, Jia Heng, who had returned from Jinyi Mansion, was taking a bath in the tub under Qingwen's service, closing his eyes slightly and enjoying Qingwen's service.

All the various files in Jinyi Mansion have been collected. At present, under the premise that King Zhongshun has been overthrown, there is no prisoner in the imperial prison who refuses to admit death.

This is almost the same as later generations, who only admit misdemeanors but not serious crimes, and are lucky.

"Young Master, a decree was just passed from the palace, saying that grandma was promoted to the first rank." Qingwen said with a smile on her pretty and charming face, and got into the bathtub with Jia Heng.

Jia Heng's expression paused, and then he said softly: "I understand."

But it is not surprising that Qing was promoted to the first rank, because his title and official position were that of the first rank.

Nowadays, his title cannot be promoted without any merit. If he wants to show his continuous favor in the palace, he will work hard on his parents and wife.

Speaking of which, he has been quite neglected recently, so he can only wait until after the court meeting and go to his father-in-law's house to spend more time with her to make up for it.

While Qingwen was waiting for her to change, Jia Heng put on a Su brocade bamboo pattern robe, tied a jade belt around his waist, and headed towards the backyard flower hall.

Entering the hall, he saw Qin Keqing, Jia Mu and others sitting aside, talking in a low voice. Feng Wan was accompanying them, while Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang were also accompanying them. Chai Dai, Tan Ying and Yun Xi were all there.

Sit and talk.

Facing the gaze of everyone, Jia Heng called out: "Old lady."

Mother Jia smiled and looked at the young man who was upright and calm, and said: "Brother Heng, you are finally back. I was talking about you to your wife just now. Have you finished the case outside?"

Jia Heng sat down and narrated: "Such a big case can't be sorted out in less than half a month. The preliminary trial at Jinyi Mansion has been completed. The relevant officials will be discussed and punished at the court meeting tomorrow. The follow-up matters will be discussed.

It’s not as onerous anymore.”

Jia Mu nodded and said: "It would be best to finish it earlier. By the way, your daughter-in-law has just been awarded a first-class imperial title by the Holy Emperor in the palace. This is a great event, and we need to celebrate it."

Jia Heng glanced at Qin Keqing and met his wife's soft and charming eyes. He felt weak in his heart and quickly looked away, saying: "I just heard Qingwen mention it. This is a happy event."

Unlike officials, who have a right to follow the first rank, the imperial concubines do not have a right to follow, and the first rank is the first rank.

"But how should we celebrate?" Jia Mu asked.

Everyone also looked at the young man's face.

Jia Heng thought for a while and said warmly: "In your own courtyard, it's hard to hold a banquet and invite guests, let alone accept gifts from various families. Now it's hard to be too showy."

When it is time to investigate and deal with King Zhongshun, it is naturally foolish to have a big banquet for guests, receive gifts, and act like a "little man succeeds". However, if you invite a theater troupe in the backyard and listen to the theater behind closed doors, and have a meal,

It's nothing.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Listen, what does it mean for a husband and wife to be of one mind, to have the same mind, and even have the same ideas."

Xiangyun and Tanchun both had surprise on their faces.

Aunt Xue also smiled and said: "This is really not a family. If we don't enter the same family, we all think about it together."

Baochai sat down next to her, pursed her pink lips, and her heart skipped a beat.

In fact, she originally thought that way, but what her mother said...

Jia Heng's face was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but stare at Qin Keqing, but he saw the girl's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and there was clearly shame on her face.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "I told your wife just now, and she said the same thing."

After hearing this explanation, Jia Heng felt a little strange. He laughed and said, "Then I really want to go together."

Being stared at by everyone with a "strange" look, Qin Keqing's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and her voice was as gentle as water, and she said: "Husband, it's hard to cause trouble to my husband with the stormy weather in Beijing now."
