The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

Chapter 209 A Dream in the Garden (Additional update!!!)

In the Hall of Rongxi, the men from both families were seated here. On the left and right are Jia She and Lin Ruhai. Below them, on the left are Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu. On the right are Chen Heng and Lin Jue.

A group of people were sitting under the large ink dragon painting of Dailu Suichao, and the conversation was quite lively. Only Jia She was in a bit of a dilemma. His brother-in-law was a second-rank official, a civil servant, and a censor who supervised hundreds of officials. There is a saying, even if she is wearing regular clothes, Lin Ruhai's official power is too heavy. When speaking to this extremely popular minister's brother-in-law, Jia She also thought about it carefully and carefully.

Unlike his second brother, he has never been fond of writing and has not worked hard on this matter since he was a child. Now when I talk to Tanhua Lang, I feel a lot of discomfort in my heart. Fortunately, he has a clever son, Jia Lian is really the best among them. Sitting aside, he wholeheartedly acted as a supporter and was responsible for stimulating the atmosphere among the elders.

Jia Lian is also a thoughtful person and knows that the two elders, one literary and the other martial, will never pee in a pot no matter what they say. Just focus on the trivial matters between the two families.

This was exactly what Lin Ruhai wanted. He came here just to meet his elders and find relatives. Considering that Jia's mother and Jia Min had not seen each other for many years, they postponed the meeting with the elders and left time for mother and daughter to talk. I am also afraid that something should not go wrong at the banquet later.

The three of them chatted about everyday things, and the topic naturally involved Chen Heng and Lin Jue. Jia Lian was also surprised when he heard that of these two boys, one was Xie Yuan and the other had just taken the head of the government examination case. He turned to Lin Ruhai and smiled: If I had known that my uncle was so good at teaching, my nephew should have packed his bags and gone to Yangzhou to study with his uncle.

Lin Ruhai smiled and put down the tea in his hand, It's all the brothers' own efforts.

Upon hearing this, Jia Lian already knew how to speak to Chen Heng. He hurriedly said to his uncle's student: We have only been separated from Yangzhou for a few years, and I didn't expect that Brother Heng has already graduated from high school. When I saw you reading and writing seriously in my uncle's study that day, I could tell that you are different.

Jia Lian called for intimacy, and Chen Heng had to pay some respect in return. Jue's younger brother is still young, and the only younger member of the Lin family who can come forward now is him, an impostor. He immediately said humbly: Brother Jia is overly praised. He was able to get into high school only because of the teacher's careful teaching. It finally opened the door for my stubbornness.

Jia Lian asked Chen Heng how he went to the Ministry of War to review the incident, and the latter briefly explained the reason. Jia She on the side was surprised and asked: You have become an official so early?

Jia She couldn't help but look at Lin Ruhai, thinking that it was all his plan for his student. After hearing Chen Heng's explanation of studying while reading, he joked: Brother-in-law also has good intentions.

The inside story was difficult to explain clearly, so Lin Ruhai had no choice but to accept it with a smile. A few people were talking and laughing among themselves, but Baoyu was a little agitated on the nanmu chair. In the past, he was the focus of everyone's attention when there were welcomes and departures at home. Why did he talk for a long time today without even mentioning himself?

Jia Baoyu wanted to overpower Sister Lin's brother, but he realized that he had no merit. Thinking about the excitement in the backyard, I immediately got up and ran back.

Jia Zheng was not at home, so Baoyu's thoughts grew long and he couldn't control them. It happened that he saw his cousin Lin Jue also wandering around, so he took the initiative and said: Uncle and uncle, you guys are chatting, I will take my brother to the back for a walk. The newly built yard at home has many places to play. It is just right for me and my cousin to play. Brother, please get close to me for a while, and also say hello to the old lady.

This was indeed a good reason, even Jia She and Lin Ruhai couldn't help but nod. Jia She said, Go, go. Lin Ruhai also ordered, Be careful.

Baoyu was happy in his heart, but his brother suddenly got into trouble and said, Since we are going to play in the yard, let's bring brother Heng with us. He introduced to Chen Heng, Brother Heng, you don't know the wonders of the backyard. It’s a good place to have some fun.”

No, Brother Jia, why are you so polite to an outsider? Baoyu was angry, thinking that the arty Chen Heng was about to enter his garden, and he was irritated.

But Jia Lian also had his own thoughts. Although he was the legitimate son of the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, he was now married and established a career. The palace has not yet decided on the title of the heir apparent of the Duke's Palace. How could he not make good friends with the people in the Ministry of War? Don't say whether it is useful or not, the dragon has its own way, the rat has its own way. People who seem inconspicuous may come in handy in the future.

Chen Heng felt his heart heat up after hearing this. This is the Grand View Garden. Anyone who has read the original book can not be curious. He glanced at Lin Ruhai. As soon as the teacher saw the student's appearance, he guessed what the junior was thinking. He smiled and said, Go ahead, just look at Dian Jue'er.

yes.

Chen Heng received the order and immediately stood up happily. When Baoyu saw his happy face, his face became even more embarrassed, and he turned away quickly, fearing that his elders would see him.

Chen and Lin went out with Baoyu, who looked incomprehensible, and bumped into Jia Zhen and Jia Qiang coming from Ningguo Mansion. The two parties chatted for a while on the corridor, and Jia Zhen, who was in a hurry to see her uncle, paid no attention to them.

After leaving the door, Jia Baoyu's mind relaxed slightly, but he only pulled Lin Jue to chatter. We went to Rongqing Hall first and led our cousin to pay homage to our grandmother. The orioles are singing beautifully here, and the bright light enters the house, illuminating the beautiful figures.

When Lin Jue called her grandmother in a crisp voice, Mrs. Jia happily held her in her arms, hugged and touched her and said: It has been more than ten years, and I have seen my beloved. When you left the capital, you were still in swaddling clothes. Wow, cry. Your mother is so cruel. She only saw you when she called me, an old lady, and now she has... Just as she spoke, Jia Mu's tears could no longer be controlled.

Jia Min and Daiyu, who were sitting next to the old lady, hurriedly comforted Lin Jue. He finally managed to coax the old lady and make her laugh. Jia Mu looked at the person who came in with Baoyu again, and already guessed that this person must be Lin Ruhai's favorite disciple as her daughter said.

Looking at the young man again, his eyebrows are wide and his eyes are as handsome as stars. He was also wearing a bright blue coat with big sleeves, and his appearance and demeanor were extraordinary. He said to Jia Min, He is also a good boy, not bad compared to the boys from the Qin family.

Now that his name was called, Chen Heng, at Jia Min's signal, also came forward and bowed as a junior. When he bowed, the girls from the Jia family who were nearby all looked at him. They didn't take a close look at him in sister Baochai's room before, but now they looked at his appearance. The group of sisters all turned their heads and looked at Lin Daiyu, who was looking up with a smile on her lips. The latter's eyes have never looked elsewhere since her brother came up to salute.

Wang Xifeng and her husband were really like a family. Jia Lian was in front of them, but at this end, it was she who spoke first and smiled: Old lady, you didn't just order the play that won the gold medal last time. Now it's good, this The Chen brothers are none other than Mr. Jie Yuangong. We also said that we would go to the Wenchang Emperor’s Temple to give Brother Bao some inspiration for studying. No, the emperor sent the boy here first, just to know what you are thinking.”

Mrs. Jia glanced at Chen Heng too much and saw the young man standing in the distance with a calm expression, like an orchid or jade tree in the garden. Her eyes were lowered and she didn't look around from beginning to end. She appreciated it even more in her heart and said: It's really good. Good study and good conduct will make you a better person. She glanced at the unhappy Baoyu and persuaded her kindly. , While your father is away, you can follow Mr. Jie Yuangong to ask for advice. This will save your father from coming back to test you and you making another mistake.

Ah ah ah, Jia Baoyu screamed in his heart when he heard it, and felt his head swelling. Fortunately, when he saw the whole family looking at him, he restrained his childish temper in time and said firmly: Yes.

Seeing that I don't want to stay here long, I rely on the old lady's love and affection. Jia Baoyu immediately proposed to take everyone to Houtou Garden. The elders naturally agreed and motioned to the other accompanying children to go too and not to disturb themselves while chatting with Jia Min.

When we go out this time, there will be more people. Needless to say, Daiyu, Lin Jue, and Chen Heng were accompanied by Sanchun, Xiangyun, Baochai, and others, leading a group of slaves to kill in the Grand View Garden.

Jia Baoyu was just sulking in the front, and when he was in a hurry, he made his sisters have a hard time chasing him. The three members of the Lin family were not in a hurry, lagging behind leisurely. When we arrived at the main entrance of the Grand View Garden, we saw the tile ridges and ink-wash walls. There are also passion flower patterns, which form a scene with Baishi Taiji, which is very pleasing to the eye.

After entering the door again, there is another famous scene. Chen Heng knew that this place was called The winding path leads to seclusion, and it was Baoyu who obtained it personally. The latter also stopped here and loudly introduced the purpose of his name. Because Sister Lin was here, he spoke particularly carefully. You want to let the other person see your progress.

Chen Heng really didn't care about the child's thoughts. At this point, he couldn't help but look around. You see, that’s even more called eagerness. Lin Daiyu on the side felt that her brother's appearance was really interesting, he looked like a child going out for the first time.

After walking dozens of steps on the path, Lin Daiyu quietly landed beside her brother and saw him looking at the scenery and thinking. I couldn't help but laugh and asked: Brother, what are you thinking about?

Seeing that the person in front was some distance away, Chen Heng knew that he was walking slowly. It's all my fault that I'm a country boy. I made a big fool of myself when I entered the Grand View Garden for the first time. He smiled at Daiyu and said, I'm thinking that I should go to the Emperor's Temple tomorrow to fulfill my wish.

Didn't you pass the test? What else do you wish for? Lin Daiyu blinked, raised her head, hooked the hanging hair between her ears with her little finger, and looked at the smile at the corner of Chen Heng's mouth, When did my brother go to the temple to make a wish, and what kind of wish did he make? Why don't I do anything? Know.

Haha. Chen Heng laughed, brushed away the hanging green branches in front of his eyes, and said mischievously, It's hard to say. If you say it, the emperor will blame it.

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and hummed softly: Brother, even if you don't tell me, I can guess it myself. You must want to come to this yard to take a look.

What a smart idea. Chen Heng shook his head with a smile and whispered: After coming to the capital, I often heard people on the street preach about the reputation of the Grand View Garden. Sister, I have to keep it a secret and don't let outsiders see what I am thinking. Otherwise, I am a country boy. I can’t hide my identity.”

Seeing her brother making fun of herself, Lin Daiyu thought it was Jia Baoyu who kept conspicuous and annoyed Chen Heng's temper. She hurriedly said: If you ask me, it's still the natural and lovely nature of green water and fields. I have seen this kind of scenery many times, and I can't help it. …”

Chen Heng guessed what she was thinking, raised his eyebrows, and looked at her funny. Seeing that he couldn't think of words for a moment, he said: What the young lady from Zuodu Yushijia wants to say is that the numerous pearls are not as beautiful as the clouds?!

Daiyu bit her lower lip lightly and managed to hold back her laughter. He rolled his eyes again and said sweetly: You are the only one who has read a lot of books. I will give you a good test when I get home.

Seeing Chen Heng just smiling, Daiyu was infected by his emotions and couldn't hide her laughter. Knowing that the other party was not worried about Baoyu, he felt relieved and said harshly: Brother, don't underestimate me. You must have never read the books I have read recently.

Okay, okay, you two are playing like this, right? Lin Jue really had a headache after hearing this. The two of them went to the park and talked about books. Just take a few steps quickly and run in the direction of your cousin.

Yeah. Chen Heng responded casually, with a cheerful tone, I will never underestimate Fairy Xiaoxiang.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, the servants behind him only followed from a distance. Lin Daiyu also had a playful temperament and lowered her voice and said: There is no way I can be compared to Mr. Yuan He.

Hahahaha. Chen Heng wanted to laugh, but he had to control his laughter so as not to attract attention, which was really hard to bear.

Lin Jue heard the laughter behind him and walked faster and faster. Just as he passed by Sister Baochai, the latter glanced back. On the path behind them, a pair of beautiful people walked slowly through the green branches hanging overhead, both looking at each other. Sister Lin is looking forward to Shenghui, and the man named Chen is also happy and generous.

Baochai was so determined that he quickly turned his eyes forward and saw Lin Jue catching up with Baoyu. The two of them stopped there without moving. Baoyu stood on tiptoes and stared straight back. I don't know what I saw, but the retracted Baoyu looked like a beautiful woman but a thief. Baochai also shook his head, not knowing what to say.

It’s hard to evaluate her, so naturally someone can. Shi Xiangyun sneaked up to Tan Chun and whispered, Have you seen the appearance of my second brother? Tsk, tsk, what do you mean by falling flowers without meaning, and flowing water with emotion?

Tanchun made a sound, glanced at the other party mischievously, and replied: Okay, you're just a helper, don't help me. She looked at the front, then at the back, and then said: It's obviously Luo Hua's intention, Liu Shui It's ruthlessness. Whatever you say, let's put it this way.

Wrong, wrong. This is what Shi Xiangyun was waiting for, and he hurriedly revealed his own mystery, Sister Lin is Luohuali, and she is also our relative. Why can't I help with the marriage but not with the marriage?

Okay, okay, I can't beat you. Tan Chun pushed Shi Xiangyun lightly, then walked forward with a smile.

Everyone had been playing in the garden for a long time. Jia Baoyu led everyone to stand in front of a courtyard, pointed to this place, and said to Chen and Lin who were catching up: Cousin, this is the courtyard that the old lady and I invited. It is where we stay. I'll give it to you. He tried his best to be clever and said, As soon as I saw this house, I felt that you were the only one in the world who could deserve it.

I wanted to give you this courtyard as a gift for your birthday this year, but I didn't make it. You happened to be in Beijing this time, so it should be treated as a gift in advance. Jia Baoyu kept introducing.

Chen Heng took advantage of the opportunity to look towards the courtyard and saw several couplets building houses, covered by thousands of green bamboos. Stop and listen carefully. From the winding verandah, you can hear the tinkling sound of running water, circling under the bamboo. I knew that this must be the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where Daiyu originally lived.

The Jia family's wealth is much higher than that of the Lin family. This courtyard is much better than the boudoir of sister Lin's family. The scenery is elegant and the color is wonderful, which makes people like it endlessly.

Lin Daiyu didn't take a step, she just stopped outside the courtyard wall, first looked at Baoyu who wanted to lead everyone in to visit, then looked at Baochai who was not far away, and asked with a smile: Where is sister Baochai's residence?

I haven't moved in yet. Baochai replied with a smile.

Then sister doesn't live here anymore. Lin Daiyu blinked, I really want to live with Sister Baochai. When I have nothing to do, I can still be a guest who comes to bother me.

Hearing the word visitor, Baochai smiled. They were both smart. They already made their thoughts clear in a few words, saying: How can Sister Lin be a guest when she comes? Relatives should move around more.

Go and see Sister Tanchun's yard. Lin Daiyu smiled and nodded, accepting Baochai's hidden meaning.

Seeing that the rightful owner couldn't wait to move forward, everyone looked at Baoyu who was standing on the stone steps in the courtyard, and couldn't decide who to follow. Lin Jue was a conspicuous person, so he came up to her without any discernment and secretly said: Cousin, I just celebrated my birthday last month. You didn't catch up with your sister, but were you thinking about me? Did you prepare for me? Gift?

Lin Jue spoke with anticipation and excitement. He didn't expect that his cousin would be so generous and give away such a good yard as soon as he asked. This cousin will definitely not be like his eldest brother, who can only hand out test paper questions.

Ah...oh. Jia Baoyu responded blankly, nodded quickly, put his mind back together, and pretended to be casual, I still have a lot of fun things in the house. I'll take you to see them later. What do you like? , just take it.”

The two of them were lagging behind and chattering quietly. Lin Daiyu, who was in front, followed Chen Heng and said, Brother, you have to compensate me for a yard in the future.

Ah?! Chen Heng was also dumbfounded. Why did this debt fall on him? Sister, why do you ask me to pay for it?

Brother, can't you see... Lin Daiyu cursed in her heart and said, I did this just to vent my anger on my brother's behalf.

Hahaha. Chen Heng suddenly realized it and deliberately made a distressed look and said, I can't afford to pay for such a good yard. You know, I am just a poor student. The salary from the Ministry of War is only three taels of silver. If you want it, just take it.

That's what you said. Lin Daiyu couldn't help but feel proud when she heard this, squinting her eyes and smiling, Brother, don't be reluctant to give up the money when the time comes.

Seeing Chen Heng shaking his head helplessly, Lin Daiyu said playfully: Brother, don't worry, my sister will save this money for you, and I will keep it for my brother to find a wife in the future. Just the last part of the sentence made Daiyu herself blush and heartbeat, Little hands clenched.

This girl, the more she spoke, the more outrageous she became, and she even acted like an elder in front of her. Chen Heng glanced at her, said, Nonsense, and laughed again.

Lin Daiyu raised her eyebrows proudly, then walked out of the path, and saw that the outside suddenly opened up, and the river was rippling with golden color, surrounding the pavilions and pavilions. Between the sky and the earth, it was the green color of clouds and rivers. She said, What a beautiful scenery.

Chen Heng stopped and watched, agreeing very much.

After the garden tour, before dinner, Lin Ruhai led the family to formally pay homage to Jia Mu. Seeing that the son-in-law is promoted, the husband and wife are loving, and the children are well-off. Mother Jia was indescribably happy, secretly thinking that her daughter was blessed after all.

But when eating, the two parties still sat in separate places. The men are in the front hall, and the women are in the back. The dishes at the banquet were all ordinary dishes. Although she knew that the materials would be expensive, Jia Min also knew that it was not easy for the Jia family to do this.

After the meal, it’s time to give gifts. Not only the girls of the Jia family received gifts, but the Lin family, including Chen Heng, also received gifts in return from Jia's mother.

Chen Heng intended to refuse, but Jia Min directly made the decision to accept the child. After dinner, everyone was about to leave. Although Jia Mu was a little reluctant to leave, she remembered that her daughter was in the capital, so she said, How about you bring your children back to see your mother more often in the future?

Jia Min nodded repeatedly, then said goodbye to her mother's family, and led her family on the carriage back. On the way back, Lin Jue was indeed not in the same car as his father and brother. The teacher and student were free and chatting among themselves. Jia Min, who was behind, pulled Daiyu and talked about the details of today's visit to the park.

Lin Jue listened for a long time, feeling regretful in his heart. If I had known that the family behind me would be naughty, I might as well have been hanging out with my father and eldest brother at the front.

…………

…………

After the Lin family left, Jia's mother, who had been tired for a day, was about to take a rest when a servant from outside suddenly came to spread the news that Mr. Bao was causing trouble in his room. The old man was worried and had no choice but to go to his grandson's house with Yuanyang's help.

My sweetheart, what's wrong with you? If you have any grievances, just tell grandma. The old lady sat on Baoyu's bedside and looked at her grandson who had his head buried in the pillow.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Baoyu was distressed and so angry that he couldn't help but punch the pillow with his fist. Jia Mu saw it and felt pain in her heart. He hurriedly asked Xiren and Qingwen: What happened? Which of you collided with your father?

The two maids did not dare to answer, and Xiren, who knew very well, could only say that he did not know. The girls from the Jia family who came after hearing the news gathered in Yihong Courtyard and looked at the sobbing Baoyu, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that the old lady was so anxious, Yuanyang hurried forward and patted Jia Mu on the back. Baoyu only raised his head at this time, turned over and lay on the bed, and said in despair: Old lady, she doesn't like me.

Who? Who is it? Jia Mu became more and more confused as she listened and asked hurriedly.

Sister Lin, Sister Lin doesn't like me. Jia Baoyu looked depressed, feeling unspeakably frustrated and helpless. The pain that made the old lady feel worried flashed through her eyes again.

How could it be possible? Mother Jia quickly comforted her precious grandson, How could Yu'er...

The old lady paused for a moment. At her age, she could understand the child's thoughts just by thinking about the child's words. If Yu'er doesn't like you, doesn't it mean that your precious grandson likes Yu'er?

What is this? Jia Mu was also in trouble and didn't know what to do. Both Yu'ers are her darlings, and it would be a great thing indeed if they could really get closer and closer to each other.

But she knew that her daughter would definitely look down on Baoyu, and Baoyu's mother was causing trouble. These two families are going to become in-laws, and there's no telling what kind of trouble this will cause. What's more, Daiyu's parents are here, and her son-in-law is a high official in the court. It was not her grandmother's turn to make the final decision on the Lin family's daughter's marriage.

No hurry, no hurry. Our ancestors will find a way for you. In the end, the heart was in trouble, so Jia Mu had to use a delaying tactic to comfort the other party first.

Are you serious? Ancestor, please don't lie to me. Baoyu suddenly came back to his senses, showing ecstasy. He knew that as long as the old lady came forward, even his father would not be able to say anything.

In Baoyu's eyes, Jia Mu is the most capable person in the world.

…………

…………

The Jia girl who was watching a farce returned to her residence. Before Tanchun had time to rest, Shi Xiangyun suddenly came to visit. The two sisters were sitting at the table, chatting about what had just happened.

What do you think, Sister Tanchun?

I'm afraid it's something bad, but Sister Lin doesn't have that intention at first glance.

Hey, I feel sorry for Sister Baochai. Shi Xiangyun sighed. She and Baochai also had a very good relationship, and she suddenly felt wronged on behalf of the other party. In the past two years, Baoyu went to Lixiangyuan to play with Baochai when he had free time. Why did the second brother forget the beauty as soon as Sister Lin came?

Tanchun also shook his head. She wrote the most letters to Daiyu, and she could guess the other person's thoughts better. He said: It is said that a family like ours would be the best at getting married, so why did it fall into this knot?

Shi Xiangyun was speechless after listening. In fact, she wanted to comment on Sister Lin's brother, but when she thought of her cousin Baoyu on the other side, she gave up the idea of ​​comparing the two together.

Under the lamp, the two looked at each other without saying anything, and only made an appointment to go to Sister Baochai's place tomorrow. Things about Yihongyuan must not be hidden from the other party. It would be better to be a lobbyist for Sister Lin early and explain the reasons, so as not to let the good sisters turn against each other.

Tanchun and Xiangyun's guess was correct. As soon as the old lady left Yihongyuan, Baochai knew the news. Let Ying'er express her gratitude to She Yue with some gratitude. After waiting for others to leave, Xue Baochai sat alone at the table.

She thought of everything during the day, including the splendor of the Grand View Garden and the laughter of Daiyu. Several images passed through my mind in turn, and finally settled on Chen Heng.

The scene was interesting to say. At that time, Chen Heng and Lin Daiyu were walking ahead to enjoy the scenery, praising the beautiful scenery of Jia's mansion. The autumn wind came slowly, blowing a pool of fallen flowers and blowing the hair scarf behind the young man. Although the young man's back looks free and easy, the scenery of the Jia family is even better.

Is he really that good? Baochai said in a faint tone. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes today, how could she believe that someone could give up the Jia family's wealth? How can you believe that there are people in the world who love thatched houses more than golden ones.

Alas, even though he is as smart as Baochai, he still doesn’t know what to do.

If Lin Daiyu was interested in Baoyu, she would still be angry. But now the other party's only thoughts are on Chen Heng. Baochai was full of grievances and had nowhere to express her feelings. I just sighed that after several years of careful companionship, why was Baoyu still like this?

Miss. Ying'er, who had sent She Yue away, came back. Looking at Baochai's face that flickered in and out, she immediately showed a worried look.

I'm fine. Baochai replied, paused for a long time, and then asked, Ying'er, I want you to choose. Do you want to choose the wooden hairpin you like, or the beautiful gold and jade one?

Ying'er didn't think much about it, and immediately said: What the lady said, of course it is gold inlaid with jade. Ying'er has lived in the Xue family since she was a child, and all she saw were rich and noble things. She really couldn't imagine what a piece of wood could do. I like it very much.

If you give it to her, she won't want it.

Yes. Baochai responded, everyone would choose the better and more expensive one.

Isn't it? Sister Lin.

Chen Heng was sitting in the house reading. He had eaten a lot at Jia's house today. He took advantage of reading to eat some food. Xinda saw it from the side and couldn't help but advise: Second brother has been busy outside for so long, let's take a rest today.

You can't go a day without reading a book. Chen Heng smiled and turned the page without looking at Xinda who was cleaning the house. Now I am busy at the Ministry of War, and I agreed to take an hour out to read every day. I am bullying others and bullying myself. It’s hard to deceive me. If I’m delayed due to something today, other things will get in the way in the future.”

Xinda couldn't defeat him, so he had to bring up another oil lamp and warned: Be careful with your eyes.

Chen Heng was just about to thank him when he suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from outside. The two of them haven't asked who it is yet.

Since brother wants to read a book, I won't disturb him tonight. Let's compete again tomorrow.

After saying that, the beauty's voice spread far away, and her smile dimmed the night. Chen Heng didn't go out to chase him. He just curled his lips and concentrated on the book.

…………

…………

A few days later, when Chen Heng was still working in the government office at noon, someone from Prince Zhongshun's palace suddenly came to his door. This person came directly to the Ministry of War and invited Chen Heng outside. His tone was very humble, and he said that his prince had something to do and he wanted to ask Mr. Chen to come down to the office and talk to him.

The Ministry of War had already issued an official letter. Chen Heng knew that the prince was about to leave Beijing, so he agreed immediately.

Okay, okay, let you see enough. Like it? Get the tickets quickly. Hahahaha, I have been fishing this afternoon and haven’t done any work.
