Chapter 331 It's just... a pity

In the study room, the orange candlelight reflected Bai Ruolirui's face softly and brightly, and the apricot pupils under the willow-leaf eyebrows were condensed, staring at the young man opposite for a moment.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to have something to say alone, Yuan Chun smiled and said, "Brother Heng, if nothing else, I'll go back first?"

Jia Heng said: "It's okay for big sister to sit here for a while."

When Yuan Chunru came to the Princess Jinyang's mansion, he would have to listen to these matters frequently, so he didn't have to avoid them too much.

Yuan Chun replied with a "hmm", with a silent expression.

Jia Heng looked at Baochai, who was full of tangled brows and eyes, and said softly: "Tell auntie, don't rush to rush, tomorrow I will ask someone to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to see what's going on. I don't have much to deal with the official of the palm seal and the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion who is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, if it is difficult to speak there, it needs to be arranged slowly."

The matter of the Xue family is actually not so difficult, but the key is that his willingness to solve it is not too strong.

In other words, he was unwilling to spend too much effort on behalf of the Xue family.

Otherwise, let’s not talk about sending people to negotiate with the Zhongshun Palace, just say that the qualifications of the Imperial Merchant were approved and issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs. If you go to find someone from the Ministry of Households to drink tea, the Ministry of Households will retreat when they see him so solemn. .

Especially the household department, he is in charge of the Jinyi Mansion and the Wucheng Bingma Division. If he really wants to do things reasonably and legally, it is almost a matter of one sentence.

Baochai heard that the young man on the other side spoke loudly, and seemed to be involved in the turbulent waves in the officialdom, her face changed, she pursed her pink lips, and said hesitantly: "If there is any difficulty in this matter, Brother Heng, don't make it too difficult. Yes, I'll go back and persuade Mom that the aptitude of the Imperial Merchant is not absolutely necessary."

She knew that if her words were passed back, she was afraid that her mother would say nothing about it, but if it involved official struggles, it would be dangerous, and it would be unreasonable to bother others.

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, and said: "Sister Xue, it's not easy to do all kinds of business now. If you can keep the imperial business aptitude, you should try to keep it as much as possible. After all, it is the foundation of the Xue family's ancestors. In fact, I also have some ideas on my side. .”

Just now, he thought of another relatively soft way to solve it, using strength and strength, since the imperial merchants purchased things for the imperial court, the matter involved the palace, if Queen Song intervened, it could be resolved.

As for whether to use the collected evidence to move King Zhongshun, he was actually still looking for the most lethal opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Baochai said softly, "Brother Heng has a way."

"Brother Heng..." Yuan Chun suddenly said at this moment.

Jia Heng was stunned, looked at Yuan Chun, and asked curiously: "Big sister seems to have something to say?"

Yuan Chun had a bright and beautiful face, his beautiful eyes looked bright, and said softly: "Brother Heng just now seemed to be talking about the business of my aunt's house."

Jia Heng nodded and briefly described what happened.

Yuan Chun frowned, and said, "It seems that Prince Zhongshun's residence is secretly making things difficult for my Jia family."

The grievances and grievances between the Rongning Second Mansion and the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, Yuan Chun is clearly aware of it.

Jia Heng looked at the serious girl on Yanmei's beautiful face, her heart moved slightly, and she asked, "Is there any good idea, Big Sister?"

Yuan Chun's beautiful eyes showed a look of thought, and he said slowly: "Brother Heng, as far as I know, the two palaces are not very happy with Zhongshun Wangfu, and the empress is the head of the sixth palace. The eunuch in charge of Gongdu, see if we can start from here?"

Jia Heng looked at Yuan Chun and asked, "What does Big Sister mean?"

Yuan Chun said: "It's not that easy to deal with this kind of clan's making things difficult, and it's not worth telling the Holy One about such trivial things, but brother Heng still needs to start from the palace, otherwise it will happen to me and other honorable families. Conflict is difficult to gain the upper hand."

Jia Heng's eyes were already appreciative, he looked at the plump and graceful face like a lotus pistil, the gentle and graceful charm flowed between his brows and eyes, he smiled slightly, and said: "Big sister's method is feasible."

Yuan Chun's ability to grasp the key points of the matter from a few words is enough to show political wisdom, which is not in vain in the palace.

"It's just... a pity."

With the affirmation of the young man opposite, Yuan Chunmei's eyes flashed with joy, and he felt a little happy in his heart, and said softly: "It would be great if I could help Brother Heng."

She saw Brother Heng carrying the Jia family's east and west houses on his shoulders, and the eight rooms in Shenjing, sheltering the Jia family from wind and rain. If she could help a little, she would feel more at ease.

Baochai on the side lowered her eyes, thinking about the joints.

She also faintly understood a little bit, it seems that the palace can intervene?

Jia Heng said: "The day after tomorrow will be the birth of the King of Wei. If there is no accident, there should be an invitation card in the palace tomorrow to invite me to a banquet in the palace. I will mention this matter in the palace the day after tomorrow. You need to ask sister Xue how the business is going."

Since the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the Xue family purchased items for the imperial court that were shoddy, then the eunuchs in the palace must have some understanding of the specific items that were shoddy.

If not, it means that Zhongshun Palace is just taking the opportunity to make trouble.

As long as Empress Song said one word, there would be no troubles in the House of Internal Affairs.

The matter was settled, Jia Heng sent Yuan Chun and Baochai out of the inner study, and returned to the hall. At this moment, Daiyu, Xiangyun, and Tanchun had not yet dispersed, and they were chatting and joking with Qin Keqing and Xichun.

Seeing the three of them, Qin Keqing said, "Husband, we're done talking."

Jia Heng nodded.

At this moment, Yuan Chun said: "Brother Heng, it's getting late, sister Xue and I are going back first."

Jia Heng said: "After running around for a day, Big Sister and Sister Xue, it's good to go back and rest."

Yuanchun and Baochai agreed, Tanchun stood up, took Daiyu and Xiangyun's hands, and said softly, "Brother Heng, then we will go back with eldest sister."

Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "The road is icy and slippery at this time, your sister-in-law and I will see you off."

Yuanchun and Baochai: "..."

Therefore, Jia Heng and Qin Keqing led the maids and mother-in-law, and sent them to the corner gate of Rongfu, and watched them enter the courtyard of the West Mansion before Jia Heng and Qin Keqing returned.

In the wing room, the night was already dark, and a bright and bright moon passed through the window in the winter night.

On the bed behind the curtain, the rapid breathing gradually calmed down, Chaotian's feet were slowly lowered, and a pair of conjoined people hugged each other tightly and talked together.

Qin Keqing's soft voice carried a bit of piercing sweetness, and she said in a greasy voice: "Husband, just now, what's the matter with elder sister and younger sister Xue looking for husband?"

Jia Heng hugged the warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms, sniffing the tangy fragrance from his delicate neck.

It's winter, the air is cold and dry, and the room needs to be warmer. He said softly, "It's nothing. Eldest sister is very quiet, and wants to help me with things like the third sister. That's nothing. As for sister Xue , Isn’t her family’s imperial business business being made things difficult by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, my aunt asked me to find a way.”

Qin Keqing shrank her body into her husband's arms, her voice trembled, and said: "Is your husband planning to help?"

Jia Heng said: "As long as you can, help if you can. Moreover, people say they are making things difficult for Xue's family, and most of them are here for me."

Qin Keqing said softly: "Speaking of which, Sister Xue is quite polite, but it's a pity that she was born in a merchant's family and met such a foolish brother."

The couple closed the door, and it was inevitable that they wanted to talk about their relatives' parents in private.

In the original book, when Jia Lian and Sister Feng are together, Xue Dafool ​​is the eldest and Xue Dafool ​​is short.

Jia Heng said: "He got involved in a life lawsuit in the south,"

Qin Keqing hesitated for a while, but in the end she didn't say anything about Mrs. You, and said softly, "Husband, it's almost Chinese New Year, did you say when to take a rest?"

Jia Heng said softly: "I'm fine, I'm in charge of the errands of the three parties, so I don't have to go to the office every day, if I want to rest, I can still rest, but every errand on my body has a lot to do with it, so there's nothing to rest Mu."

His current errand does not say that he must go to the yamen on time every day to inspect affairs.

But it doesn't mean that you can enjoy yourself at home with your beautiful wife and maidservants every day, and you still have to do things.

Speaking of which, no one supervised him, but he had better report the work progress to Emperor Chongping.

Qin Keqing sighed lightly.

Jia Heng smiled lightly and said, "Okay, don't sigh anymore, I will still be able to accompany you well during the Chinese New Year."

He felt that Ke Qing was becoming more and more clingy.

Maybe... what did you notice?

……

……

The next day, when the golden rooster broke dawn and the morning light was twilight, Jia Heng finished his breakfast and went to the Princess Jinyang's mansion.

Stepping into the flower hall, I saw that Princess Xianning had changed into a brocade robe and warrior costume, talking and laughing with Princess Jinyang and Princess Qinghe.

This noble lady of the Chen and Han imperial family has a slender and graceful figure, and she is a samurai with a heroic appearance.

"Mr. Jia, let's go to the horse market now." Seeing Jia Heng coming, Princess Xianning said softly with a bright smile on her pretty face.

Princess Jinyang took a look at Jia Heng, and said softly: "You guys are going to buy horses, you don't know how to choose horses, so don't let people fool you, Lianxue, Sun Nanny, doesn't her son own a horse shop? ?”

From her point of view, it's up to the servants to handle such matters. It's not worthwhile for Jia Heng and Xianning to go there in person. Of course, the two of them just want to go shopping in the market, she didn't say anything.

Ok?

Princess Jinyang thought of this, her heart skipped a beat, and then she looked at Princess Xianning and Jia Heng, her phoenix eyes flashed, and there was a bit of inexplicable color surging.

Lianxue said softly: "Your Highness, that servant will go find Grandma Sun right now."

Princess Jinyang said softly: "Let me choose a few good horses."

Jia Heng smiled and said: "I invited the acquaintances of Dongcheng Bingmasi to go. Since His Highness has experts, it is the best."

It's fine for someone to buy a pony, but it's a pony he bought for Tanchun and Xiangyun, so it's safer to keep an eye on it.

Of course, I also want to take a look at the bustling and noisy cities in the east and west of Shenjing City.

Since I came to this life, although I have been in charge of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, I have never actually visited the streets and markets in the city of Shenjing. city.

Princess Jinyang didn't say much, and said: "You and Xianning go early and come back early, don't delay lunch at noon."

Li Chanyue was listening to her mother and Mr. Jia talking, she bit her lower lip with her white teeth, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the tone of her mother and Mr. Jia's words...

She couldn't say anything, she always felt weird.

Naturally, Li Chanyue didn't know that men and women who had been married before, and met each other frankly, would always reveal some clues when they spoke inadvertently.

Princess Xianning said: "Then Aunt, Mr. Jia and I will go first."

Princess Jinyang glanced at Jia Heng meaningfully, with a calm face, and said, "Go."

After Jia Heng left, there were only two mother and daughter left in the flower hall.

Princess Jinyang turned to Princess Qinghe and said, "Is it your girl's idea to let your cousin go out of the palace to buy horses with Jia Heng?"

"Ah?" Li Chanyue's bright eyes blinked, her voice was clear and sweet, "What can I have an idea? I met Mr. Jia yesterday. It was a chance encounter. Even buying a horse today was suggested by my cousin."

Princess Jinyang looked at Li Chanyue, and said in a low voice: "Although your cousin Xianning is cold-tempered, she respects resourcefulness and talent the most. This Jia Heng is both civil and military. If he is really emotional, Jia Heng will become a man again." Darling, how could Xianning be allowed to serve him as a child in the palace, and there might be some troubles again."

Li Chanyue said softly: "Mother is worrying too much. Cousin has always kept herself clean, how could she look at a married man?"

Princess Jinyang's jade face was slightly stagnant, and she said angrily: "You... what do children know!"

Is this little girl insinuating that she doesn't know how to clean herself?

Li Chanyue approached, pulled Princess Jinyang's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mother, don't tell me, in the palace for the past two days, my cousin asked me about Mr. Jia, mother, what do you think if Mr. Jia It’s not bad to be my cousin.”

Thinking of this, she also felt a little proud, she did not believe that her mother could still compete with Cousin Xianning.

Princess Jinyang snorted coldly, but said nothing.

Not mentioning the conversation between the mother and daughter, it is said that Jia Heng and Princess Xianning went out of the Yimen Gate and saw a middle-aged gray-robed man wearing an official's coat under the eaves of the corridor. Snow and an old woman.

That middle-aged gray-robed man was the son of Nanny Sun mentioned by the eldest princess of Jinyang. He opened a horse shop in Dongshi, whether it was big or small.

Seeing Jia Heng, he stepped forward to salute and said, "Little Sun Yun has seen General Yun Hui and His Highness."

Jia Heng nodded and asked, "I heard that you are good at horse hunting?"

Sun Yun accompanied him with a smile and said: "I dare not say that I am good at it, but there are more ponies sold on weekdays, and my eyesight has improved a bit. In fact, if General Jia wants a pony, there are ready-made ones in small shops. It can be delivered to the residence without much effort.”

He just heard from his old mother that the general Yunhui in front of him is a real big shot, he is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and the emperor in the palace is even more amazing. If he serves well, he will have him the benefits of.

Lianxue frowned, her bright eyes were full of evil, and she said coquettishly: "You only care about your horse, why are you talking so much!"

Sun Yun was startled when he heard the words, quickly lowered his head, and said, "The little one talks too much."

Jia Heng's face was gentle, and he said: "I need to see the foal, I can't let you pick it, too big a foal is not good, nor is it too hot-tempered, the best is a docile filly, And the horse that His Highness wants to choose should be a precious foal that travels thousands of miles a day and eight hundred nights, you may not be able to find it with just one of your stables, it is better to look at a few more."

As he spoke, he looked at Princess Xianning and asked with a smile, "Is that so, Your Highness?"

Princess Xianning nodded, and said softly: "The horses from the Western Regions are the best. They are more handsome, and the prairie horses are a bit short. Let's go to Dongshi to have a look first."

Sun Yun respectfully said: "I have made a note of the request of Yun Hui and His Highness."

Lianxue looked at Jia Heng, and said: "Then Mr. Jia and His Highness go back early."

Jia Heng nodded, said nothing else, and under the leadership of Sun Yun, Princess Xianning rode towards Dongshi on horseback.
