Jia Zheng through the Red Mansions

Looking at Jia Zheng in front of him, Hongxi changed his usual calm expression, and stared at the hot lobster in front of him rather childishly, feeling very itchy like a kitten scratching its paw in his heart.

The glutton in Jia Zheng's stomach was also eager to try, so he grabbed one impatiently, and peeled off the shell. As soon as the white and tender fresh meat entered his mouth, the spicy and delicious feeling made Jia Zheng's eyes shine, and his hands and feet were nimble. After eating one, Jia Zheng grabbed another one, peeled off a large piece of meat and put it into his mouth. He ate it so fast that his tongue was burned.

Seeing that Hong Xi hurriedly reached out to hand over the herbal tea, but seeing Jia Zheng's tongue sticking out because of being scalded, his heart swayed, the cup in his hand fell to the ground, and he let out a cry. With a crisp sound, it shattered to the ground, and the tea spilled all over Hong Xi's body, leaving an embarrassing water stain on the moon-white brocade robe on his body.

Jia Zheng was taken aback, and then blushed in embarrassment. He was so old that he burned his tongue so greedy. If he hadn't been burned, Hongxi wouldn't have offered him tea, and It won't stain your clothes.

Hong Xi was also extremely regretful that she made such a big blunder in front of Jia Zheng, Hong Xi hurriedly coughed, and called Xiao Er to clean up the debris on the ground: "Be careful not to prick your feet, it's all because of my clumsiness. "

Jia Zheng felt even more embarrassed when he heard it, and hurriedly picked up another piece of shrimp meat and handed it to Hong Xi's mouth: "Try it too, although it is spicy, it is very fragrant."

The meat of the shrimp was white and tender, and the person in front of him didn't let his fingers move too much. Hongxi stared blankly at Jia Zheng's hand, feeling distracted.

Seeing that Hong Xi didn't move, Jia Zheng realized that he was too presumptuous. He even used his hands to feed Hong Xi the shrimp meat, and immediately wanted to withdraw his hand. Then he put his head up, bit the shrimp meat caught on Jia Zheng's finger, and finally licked Jia Zheng's fingertip with the tip of his tongue.

Jia Zheng only felt a tingling sensation following the temperature of Hongxi's tongue from his fingertips to his heart. With a trembling hand, he quickly broke free from Hongxi's grasp, and his eyes were at a loss as to where to put them. Once, even the tips of the ears were red.

Hongxi was eating the shrimp meat in his mouth, and his heart was even more flattered. His fingertips were more delicious than the shrimp meat. No matter how many times he imagined pressing him under his body and licking it carefully, it was still not worth the touch just now. The throbbing of his fingertips at that moment, he has never been so firmly convinced that he is so infatuated with the old man in front of him.

Two people, one was shocked that he would have strange feelings because of the inadvertent touch of the tongue of the boy in front of him, and the other secretly rejoiced that he finally made the scene that appeared countless times in his dreams have real feelings, both of them blushed, Not daring to look at each other, they just stared at the fragrant Xuyi lobster in front of them, but no one saw it. Not far away, Brother Jiu looked at this side with deep eyes.

Master Jiu did not miss every move between Hongxi and Jia Zheng. After thinking about his people's return to Hongxi for this day, Yinzhen showed a complicated look in his eyes. The shop where the craftsman was located seemed to be It has nothing to do with me, but the owner of the shop is indeed his. Just now, the craftsman reported to the shopkeeper when he returned to the shop, and the shopkeeper immediately informed him.

Then one of the two guards brought by Hong Xi quietly left Jinling and headed towards Suzhou. Yinzhen tapped her finger on the table lightly, watching the ambiguous relationship between Hong Xi and Jia Zheng, The smile of that person appeared in front of him unconsciously, and the faint happiness between the two people in front of him, how long can it last?

The craftsman did not tell the whole truth to the magistrate, the method of making that hairpin is extremely unique, only the master craftsman of Linlangxuan in Suzhou can make it in the whole world, and the hairpin made by Linlangxuan is supposed to be unique and never repeated , and the craftsman of the hairpin still remembers that it was specially made by Lin Langxuan for the birthday of Lin Ruhai's wife, who was an official in Suzhou at that time.

But because of a hairpin, the magistrate was alarmed, and assuming that the magistrate and Hongxi both came back from Zhongshan, it is not difficult to guess the twists and turns.

Isn't Lin Ruhai's wife Jia Zheng's younger sister, Jia Min? A trace of sarcasm flashed in Yinzhen's eyes, and Hongxi's cheeks were flushed like a young man who didn't know much about the world, but after he knew the person he wanted to track down What will happen to him after the person in front of him who makes him blush get married?

Yinzhen smiled coldly, no longer in the mood to watch, got up and left.

Not long after Yinzhen left, Jia Zheng and Hongxi also wiped out a pot of Xuyi lobsters, and paid some extra money for breaking the teacups. The two also got up and left. The cool night wind blew on their faces and dispelled the blush , Hongxi reached out to touch Jia Zheng's hand tentatively, and asked, "Let's take some snacks home for supper."

The touch from his hand made Jia Zheng's blush that had just dissipated climbed up his neck again, and hurriedly said "Hello", Jia Zheng took the lead and went into a dim sum shop to buy some dim sum, leaving Hong Xi far away. later.

To blush is to have feelings for herself, Hongxi's eyes are shining, and she feels joy in her heart when she sees Jia Zheng's fleeing back.

However, this joy turned into a more restless mood than before when he returned to the inn and saw the unwritten notebook spread out on the table.

Gritting his teeth, Hong Xi handed the account book that Wu Wenyuan had given him to Jia Zheng: "I went to the magistrate's yamen today, and it took me a long time to get this. Take a look."

When Jia Zheng looked at the account book, he saw that it was densely packed with records of the Xue family's purchase of dike repair materials and reselling of government food, in black and white, shocking.

It really is the Xue family!Confirming the conjecture in his heart, Jia Zheng's face also became serious. Behind the Xue family, there is only Brother Jiu, and behind Brother Jiu is Babeile.

Seeing Hongxi's troubled face, Jia Zheng picked up a pen and began to write on the notebook.

"What are you doing?" Hongxi panicked when he saw that Jia Zheng was writing notes without speaking, and stretched out his hand to grab Jia Zheng's wrist.

"The ones who are going to be impeached this time are Ninth Brother and Eighth Brother. Let me write it." Jia Zheng shook his head lightly, stretched out his left hand to remove Hong Xi's hand from his wrist, and there was sharpness in his always gentle eyes. : "The emperor also hopes that I, Jia Zheng, and not you, Aixinjueluo Hongxi, will be the one who accepts this paper."

A burst of unspeakable bitterness spread in Hongxi's heart. He and Wu Wenyuan were still thinking about how to get Jia Zheng to hand over the notebook willingly in his own hand, but he had already thought about it countless times without saying a word. All troubles are swept away.

"I understand, but this time I am an imperial envoy. Since Huang Mafa appointed me to be an imperial envoy, he just asked me to investigate the truth of the matter, no matter who the other party is!" He knew that he should follow suit and let Jia Zheng continue to write notes, but he didn't All the controlled words came out in one go.

"You don't understand." Jia Zheng smiled wryly, "The emperor also appointed me to come with you."

Why didn't he know the crisis inside, now that the crown prince was reinstated after being deposed, the crown prince was finally deposed again in history, but he didn't know exactly when, and it was precisely because he didn't know that he felt even more uneasy, The deposed prince will definitely be confined in the clan mansion, so what will be the fate of Hong Xi as the son of the prince?

This Jiangnan investigation is an opportunity, if grasped well, even if the crown prince is deposed again in the future, the emperor will also consider Hong Xi's political achievements, maybe it will be a turning point.But if you don't grasp it well... the fate of stabbing a hornet's nest is self-evident.

Jia Zheng knew in his heart that the emperor is the king of the world, but he is also the father of all elder brothers. Being the king and father is the most contradictory.If grandson impeached his uncle in this matter, no matter who was right or wrong, Kangxi would be dissatisfied with Hongxi, but Kangxi sent Hongxi to handle the case because of Hongxi's youth and integrity. When he first entered the official career, he didn't know how to be tactful.

Only I can buffer this kind of conflict. If the emperor severely punishes the Eighth Master and the Ninth Master, then I will definitely offend the Eighth Master's party to the end.

What's more, regarding the matter of the Xue family, he still wants to protect the lives of other innocent people in the Xue family. I am afraid that the emperor will be furious after reading this scripture.

There was still some uneasiness in his heart, but Jia Zheng subconsciously didn't want to think about it anymore, and Hong Xi also bit his lower lip and stopped making a sound.

Seeing Jia Zheng writing vigorously under the lamp, the candlelight clearly illuminated the serious expression on Jia Zheng's face, the slight frown between his brows made Hongxi's heart tighten.

He knew that the worst result would come from handing in this booklet, but he did not hesitate to sacrifice his future future in order to protect himself. Seeing Jia Zheng like this, Hongxi suddenly wanted to slap himself a few times. It was him all along. I'm paying for myself, from the time I blocked the knife for myself to today's self-destructive future, but as for myself, just now I was thinking about stabbing him in the heart again!

It was he who brought the color and warmth that he had always longed for in his dark and pale life. Hong Xi felt as if a knife was twisting his heart. He didn't want to destroy this warmth with his own hands. What's more, he knew that although he was gentle in front of him, he had a bottom line. , If he touches his bottom line, everything will be irreversible.

The first time he regretted it so much, why did he tell the first lie on the boat? At that time, he could hide his self-deception until the end, but now he feels that all the lies will eventually be exposed. Push away a piece of happiness that is within reach with your own hands?

With a "snap", Hongxi suddenly stretched out his hand and knocked the pen out of Jia Zheng's hand. The pen fell to the ground and broke into two pieces. The ink splashed all over the paper and the ground.

Jia Zheng raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Hong Xi whose eyes were bloodshot.

Hongxi took a deep breath. Back then he had the courage to lie, but now, he also has the courage to bear the consequences of this lie!

I hope it is not too late to rein in the precipice.
