Chapter 209: A Dream in the Garden (Updated!!!)

In Rongxi Hall, the men of both families sat down. On the left and right of the two families were Jia She and Lin Ruhai. Below them, on the left were Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu. On the right were Chen Heng and Lin Jue.

A group of people sat under the large ink dragon painting of waiting for the clock and the conversation was quite lively. Only Jia She was a little embarrassed. His brother-in-law was a second-rank official, a civil servant, and an imperial censor who supervised all officials. To be honest, even if he was wearing ordinary clothes, Lin Ruhai's official authority was too heavy. When Jia She spoke to this brother-in-law, he thought about it again and again.

He was not like his second brother. He had never loved literature and had never worked hard on this matter since he was a child. Now he felt uncomfortable talking to the third place winner. Fortunately, he had a smart son, Jia Lian, who was really a leader among men. Sitting aside, he was dedicated to being a supporting actor and responsible for driving the atmosphere among the elders.

Jia Lian was also thoughtful. He knew that the two elders, one a scholar and the other a warrior, would never agree on anything. So he focused on the trivial matters of the two families.

This was exactly what Lin Ruhai wanted. He came here only to visit the elders and find his relatives. Considering that Jia Mu and Jia Min had not seen each other for many years, he postponed the visit to the elders and left time for the mother and daughter to talk. He was also afraid that some mistakes would happen at the banquet later.

The three of them talked about family gossip, and the topic naturally involved Chen Heng and Lin Jue. Hearing that these two boys, one had won the first place in the provincial examination and the other had just won the first place in the provincial examination, Jia Lian was also surprised. He turned to Lin Ruhai and smiled, "If I had known that my uncle was so good at teaching people, my nephew should have packed his bags and went to Yangzhou to study with my uncle."

Lin Ruhai smiled and put down the tea in his hand, "It's all the hard work of the two brothers."

Hearing this, Jia Lian had already grasped the measure of talking to Chen Heng. He said to his uncle's student: "It's been only a few years since we last met in Yangzhou. I didn't expect that brother Heng has already passed the imperial examination. When I saw you studying and writing seriously in my uncle's study, I knew you were different."

Jia Lian called him affectionately, so Chen Heng had to return some respect. Jue brother is still young, and the only younger generation in the Lin family who can show up now is this fake. He immediately said modestly: "Brother Jia, you are too kind. I can pass the imperial examination thanks to the careful teaching of the teacher. It made me, a stubborn stone, open my mind."

Jia Lian asked Chen Heng again how he went to the Ministry of War to work, and the latter explained the reason slightly. Jia She on the side was surprised and asked: "So early to enter the officialdom?"

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

It's hard to explain the inside story, so Lin Ruhai had to smile and agree. Several people were busy talking and laughing, but Baoyu was a little irritated on the nanmu chair. In the past, he was the focus of everyone's attention when the family welcomed and sent off guests. Why didn't he mention himself after talking for a long time today?

Jia Baoyu wanted to suppress Lin Daiyu's brother, but he thought that he had no strengths. Thinking about the excitement in the backyard, he immediately wanted to get up and run back.

Jia Zheng was not at home, and Baoyu's thoughts were long, and he couldn't suppress it. It happened that he saw his cousin Lin Jue also parading, so he took the initiative to say: "Uncle, uncle, you guys chat, I'll take my brother to the back. There are many places to play in the newly built yard at home. It's a good opportunity for me to get close to my cousin for a while, and pay my respects to the old lady by the way."

This reason was really good, even Jia She and Lin Ruhai couldn't stop nodding when they heard it. Jia She said, "Go, go." Lin Ruhai also ordered, "Be careful."

Baoyu was happy, but his brother suddenly made trouble and said, "Since you are going to play in the yard, take brother Heng with you." He introduced to Chen Heng, "Brother Heng, you don't know the beauty of the backyard, you can take advantage of it to have a good time."

No, Jia Erge, why are you so polite to an outsider. Baoyu was annoyed, thinking that Chen Heng, who was pretentious, was going to walk into his own garden, and he was irritated.

But Jia Lian also had his own thoughts. Although he was the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, he had now established a family. The palace has not yet decided on the title of the prince of the Duke's Mansion. How could he not make friends with the people in the Ministry of War? Don't talk about whether it is useful or not. Dragons have dragon paths and mice have mouse paths. People who look insignificant may come in handy in the future.

But Chen Heng's heart was warmed when he heard it. This is the Grand View Garden. Who can not be curious if he has read the original book? He glanced at Lin Ruhai. The teacher guessed what the junior was thinking when he saw his student's appearance. He smiled and said, "Go ahead. It's just right to look after Jue'er."

"Yes."

Chen Heng received the order and stood up happily. Baoyu saw his happy face and became even more embarrassed. He turned his back to him, fearing that the elders would see him.

Chen and Lin accompanied Baoyu, who looked puzzled, out of the house and ran into Jia Zhen and Jia Qiang who came from Ningguo Mansion. The two chatted for a while on the corridor, and Jia Zhen, who was in a hurry to see his uncle, didn't pay much attention to them.

After leaving the house, Jia Baoyu felt relieved and only talked to Lin Jue. All the way to Rongqing Hall, he led his cousin to pay respects to his grandmother. The orioles were singing here, and the bright light entered the house, illuminating the beautiful figures of the beauties.

When Lin Jue called out "Grandma" in a crisp voice, Grandma Jia immediately hugged him in her arms with joy, hugged and touched him and said, "It's been more than ten years, and I can finally see my darling. When you left the capital, you were still crying in your cradle. Your mother was so cruel that she let an old lady like me see you, and now it's been..." As she spoke, Grandmother Jia couldn't control her tears and fell.

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 get some spiritual energy for reading, but the emperor sent the boy here first because he knew what you were 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 just rely on the old lady's pampering to like me. Jia Baoyu immediately proposed to take everyone to Houtou Garden. The elders naturally agreed and motioned to the other accompanying children to go with them 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 the Grand View Garden to kill.

Jia Baoyu was just sulking in 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, tusk, what does it mean to fall like a flower without meaning, and to have flowing water with emotion?"

Tanchun let out a "yeah", looked 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 ruthless. 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, "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 I thought it would be 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 nice 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, take it all.”

"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 second 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. The two Yu'ers are her darlings, and it would be a great thing indeed if they could really get in touch with 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 my 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 for the message. 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. 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.

No? 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 up the room. "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.
