Jia Zheng through the Red Mansions

Beijing in November is probably too cold to go out now, but Yangzhou is just showing bursts of coolness. Even the water in the Slender West Lake is still rippling with the cool wind. In Beijing, the water surface may have already Freeze into ice and walk on it.

Hong Xi secretly glanced at Jia Zheng, he seemed to be particularly afraid of the cold, and he was wearing extra heavy clothes in this weather, even his neck was covered with fur, his nose exposed to the air was slightly red, and his eyes were dark. It was a bit foggy, and compared with his usual expressionless face, it was even more itchy.

Hongxi recalled the day when she first arrived in Yangzhou, she went straight to Lin Ruhai's mansion, she couldn't wait to see him, she had so many things in her heart, but she couldn't say a word after seeing him.

He clearly knew in his heart that to deal with an old man like Jia Zheng, he had to slowly eat away at the line of defense that he couldn't see in his heart. He was careful step by step. , but I don't know why, but at this time he can't play anything.

what is this?

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw a person running over from the side, which startled Hongxi, but she saw that this person was dressed as a clerk, nodding and bowing, standing in front of Jia Zheng and herself.

"Guest officers, it's freezing cold today, can you two come to our Xiaohuaqing to soak in the warm soup?"

"Warm soup?" Jia Zheng was taken aback.

Hongxi was very interested, and said to the guy: "Is your warm soup really a hot spring in the mountains?"

The clerk quickly replied: "Of course it's true. The accents of both of you are foreigners. I'm afraid you don't know. Our Xiaohuaqing is the most famous warm soup in Yangzhou city. Even those officials and gentlemen come to our place." Woolen cloth!"

Jia Zheng understood this time, it is actually a hot spring bathhouse?He really didn't know that there was such a place at this time.

"Do you want to try it? You haven't tried it once, have you?" Hong Xi joked.

Jia Zheng's honest nod made Hongxi really surprised. There are three or four Wentang restaurants in the capital, and all the dignitaries in the capital like to go there. Jia Zheng's identity shouldn't be unknown, right?

"Then I really have to go once today!" After Hong Xi finished speaking, he turned to the guy and asked, "Do you have a separate pool here?"

He didn't want to miss this opportunity to feast his eyes, but if the price he had to pay was that Jia Zheng would be seen by others, it wouldn't be worth it.

"Of course there are, please invite the two of you." The clerk led the two of them in.

As soon as he entered the room, he felt a wave of hot air coming towards him. Jia Zheng's shoulders that had been raised slightly fell down comfortably at this moment. He looked around this ancient hot spring bathhouse, and felt that everything he saw was fresh.

Although the private room is a bit small, two people are rich enough to soak in it. This is the first time Jia Zheng took a bath in ancient times without curling up in a wooden barrel. The coolness all over his body was taken away by the hot spring. Zheng Jiang leaned against the wooden siding, closed his eyes, and felt a little tired.

Jia Zheng was so comfortable, but Hongxi next to him was staring at Jia Zheng next to him without blinking. He saw that the surface of the hot spring had just covered Jia Zheng's collarbone, revealing his white shoulders. A faint blush from the hot water can be seen on his skin, and the two red beans on his chest are bright red under the water.

Hong Xi watched, couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't help reaching out to caress his chest.

"What's wrong?" The drowsy Jia Zheng woke up, and seeing Hongxi's face flushed and confused, he couldn't help being stunned, "Did you have a fever after soaking for too long?"

After finishing speaking, he reached out and touched Hongxi's forehead.

Hong Xi grabbed Jia Zheng's outstretched arm, and exerted a strong force. Jia Zheng was caught off guard, and fell on Hong Xi's body, and a hot and hard object pressed against his lower abdomen.

This... No matter how dull Jia Zheng was, he knew what was holding him back. His eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Hongxi in disbelief. He was about to reach out to push him away, but he felt a numbness in his chest.

Hongxi no longer wanted to control the roaring beast in his heart, looked at Jia Zheng who fell on top of him, held him tightly with both hands, opened his mouth to enclose the small red bean on his chest, and began to lick it carefully , the tip of the tongue rolled slightly, and finally took a bite.

"You, what are you doing?" The uncontrollable sensitivity came one after another, and Jia Zheng's reason told him to push Hong Xi away, but his body, which had been abstinent for a long time, was out of control and had the most unspeakable embarrassment. reaction.

At this moment, Jia Zheng couldn't tell whether his body was hot because of the hot spring or because of this person.

A certain string in his mind seemed to be broken. Jia Zheng only felt that he was about to be submerged in an ocean, and suddenly he felt that there was darkness in front of him. After the dizziness hit, he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, Jia Zheng found himself lying in his own room in the Lin Mansion, with familiar decorations in front of him, and he was still wearing white obscene clothes.

He wanted to sit up from the bed, but his limbs felt weak and dizzy. Jia Zheng froze, and the scene with Hongxi in the warm soup pool began to flash in his mind.

"You're awake!" Just as he thought of Hongxi, he heard Hongxi's voice coming from outside the door.

"You!" Jia Zheng said with a red face, and was interrupted by Hong Xi just after he said a word.

"Drink the medicine first."

"Medicine?" Jia Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he saw that Hongxi was holding a bowl of black medicinal juice in his hand, and was blowing with his mouth as he walked forward.

"It's neither cold nor hot. It's just right. You're about to drink it. Before leaving, the doctor told you that you need to take the medicine immediately after waking up to keep your body healthy." Hongxi walked to the bed and carefully handed the medicine bowl to Jia Zheng. There is a deep smile in the eyes.

At this time, Jia Zheng wanted to die. The feeling in his body, the scene he just remembered was definitely not his own illusion. When he thought that he was treated like that by Hongxi, he invited a doctor to see him. Jia Zheng's angry lips They were all trembling, and slapped the medicine bowl in Hongxi's hand to the ground in anger.

The white porcelain bowl fell to the ground with an ear-piercing sound, the black medicinal juice splashed all over the ground, and the strong medicinal smell permeated the air.

"What are you doing? I know you are angry with me, but you can't make fun of yourself when you are angry! I will go to the kitchen to cook another bowl." Hongxi's heart was also pierced by the broken medicine bowl It hurts, sure enough, he hates himself, even though he feels uncomfortable, Hongxi still has a flattering expression on his face.

"Don't worry about it." Jia Zheng snorted coldly, turned his face away, and stared at the wall.

Hong Xi sighed, sat on the edge of the bed, and persuaded with nice words: "It's cold outside, and the warm soup is hot inside, and the cold and the hot ones got the wind chill, although the wind chill is not a serious illness, but you are the one who suffers." Are you yourself?"

wind chill? !Jia Zheng was taken aback, and quickly turned his head back. His limbs were weak and dizzy, which were indeed similar to the symptoms of a cold. He moved his buttocks slightly, but he couldn't feel anything unusual there. Jia Zheng looked up in disbelief. Hong Xi said hesitantly: "You mean, the doctor was called in for diagnosis and treatment because of the cold, not because of the injury there?"

When Jia Zheng hesitantly spoke, Hongxi's originally depressed mood was swept away, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a long smile appeared in his eyes. He stared at Jia Zheng's face that was slowly turning red, and said with a smile: "Of course it's the wind chill."

Jia Zheng's face turned red, his ears turned red, my God, what did he do just now, to lose his temper like a child? !

Looking at Jia Zheng's red ears, the smile in Hongxi's eyes gradually settled into deep affection, and the hand that was about to be stretched out was still hanging by his side. Hongxi stood up from the side of the bed, sighed, and looked back. Turning around and facing the door: "I'll go cook another bowl of medicine for you."

Walking slowly to the door, Hongxi stopped suddenly, turned around and met Jia Zheng's eyes on the bed, and said in a low voice, "I'd rather you hate me than take advantage of the situation and treat everything as nothing." It happened, I know you understand in your heart why I didn't make it to the end just now."

After finishing speaking, Hongxi turned around and left the room quickly.

Jia Zheng looked at the back of Hongxi leaving, and the eyes that Hongxi looked at just now were still in front of him. The deep affection in them was so heavy that he couldn't breathe. After a while, he closed his eyes, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Come.

It's not that he couldn't see that Hongxi looked at him with something more, but he was always deceiving himself and avoiding it, because he knew in his heart that even if Hongxi really had feelings for him, so what?It's not that he doesn't believe in love, but he doesn't believe that love can defeat interests and desires.

In the past 30 years, it's not that he didn't have a heartbeat, and it's not that he didn't have an unforgettable lover, but no matter how many promises and throbs he made, he was defeated in the face of reality, and now he really dare not love anyone anymore.

As for Hongxi, he really loves himself, but he also loves more things. When he and those desires are on the same scale, Jia Zheng does not have the confidence that he can defeat them.

What Jia Zheng didn't know was that outside the door, Hong Xi was leaning against the wall quietly, his eyes slowly filled with unrepentant determination, he didn't want to wait any longer, he would never forget that day.

That day, I followed Lin Ruhai to the Yamen of the Yanzheng Division. When I came back, Jia Zheng was sitting with Jia Min, teaching Xiao Daiyu how to read and write. He stood under the shade of a tree and looked at Jia Zheng with his usual gentle expression Smiling and patiently talking to little Daiyu over and over again, there is tolerance and love in his eyes.

At that moment, he understood that Jia Zheng was so gentle no matter who he was to, so what was he?

The more gentle the person, the more cruel it may be.

Therefore, he does not regret giving up step by step and choosing impulsiveness. Only by tearing away his ubiquitous tenderness can he truly enter his heart. Even if the ending is rejected and rejected, he does not regret it!

Thinking about it, Hong Xi raised her brows slightly, even if she was rejected, he still had the cheek to stick to him!

Thinking of this, Hong Xi slowly straightened up and walked towards the kitchen. The embarrassment on Jia Zheng's expression when he smashed the pill from his hand just now appeared in his mind, and the smile in his eyes deepened, yes. That's right, it's better to be ashamed than to remain gentle!

On the other side of the garden, Jia Min stood quietly at the corner of the wall, watching Hongxi leave with a complicated expression. She could never forget the look in Hongxi's eyes when he brought her brother back, and she couldn't forget that day in the meditation room of Linggu Temple Every word heard outside.

Stretching out her hand to touch the plum blossom hairpin inserted into the bun, Jia Min's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and he walked quickly into Jia Zheng's room.

Jia Zheng heard footsteps and looked towards the door, saw that Jia Min had come in, and said quickly: "Sister, your body is just right, don't get sick."

Jia Min smiled, approached the bed, stretched out his hand to hold Jia Zheng's body that was struggling to get up, and said: "My illness is just a heart disease, and it will be cured after the second brother comes, but you, here is different from the capital." At such an age, it's not surprising that you fell ill, when I first married and went to Suzhou, I also fell seriously ill."

Jia Zheng stared blankly at Jia Min's smiling face after hearing this, and couldn't help frowning: "You have something on your mind, what's the matter?"

Jia Min was slightly startled, and then smiled wryly: "It's the second brother after all, I can't hide anything from you."

"What's the matter?" Seeing Jia Min's expression, Jia Zheng became more anxious.

"Second brother, don't you really feel it? The way you look at Hongxi Baylor is different from how you look at other people." Jia Min looked directly into Jia Zheng's eyes and said word by word.

Jia Zheng was stunned, and looked at Jia Min in disbelief. Hong Xi stopped outside the door, and the hand holding the medicine bowl trembled slightly.

After a long silence, Jia Zheng said bitterly, "I don't think it's different."

"You look at other people's eyes with gentleness and tolerance, but you only look at him with pampering." Jia Min smiled wryly, and looked into Jia Zheng's shocked eyes, "It's the kind of pampering for a lover, I don't like it." Are you wrong?"

Jia Zheng lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "What on earth do you want to say?" It was not a good feeling to be dug out of the emotions that had been hidden all the time, even though he had already regarded her as his own sister.

"You won't be happy." Jia Min forced herself to be cruel.

Jia Zheng laughed at himself when he heard the words: "Why? Because he and I are men?"

"No, because he has too many things and wants too many things." Jia Min shook his head, his eyes were clear.

Jia Zheng met Jia Min's eyes in astonishment, and suddenly smiled: "I know."

Born in the royal family, as the eldest grandson of the emperor, prosperity and wealth are already within reach, and he has everything that ordinary people desire, so all he wants is that seat, the closer he is, the more attracted he is.

If in Jinling, Hongxi had chosen the ultimate deception, he would have been ruthless, but now, facing Hongxi who finally revealed everything, his heart is confused.

Gambling with love is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble. He has no confidence but has expectations. The ostrich's choice is muddled, but he is attacked by Hongxi's forgetfulness and Jia Min's bluntness one after another.

In the room, Jia Min couldn't escape his eyes, and outside the room, Hongxi was so nervous that he could only hear the sound of his own breathing. At this moment, Jia Zheng finally spoke, word by word, with firmness never before.

"I'd rather fall in love than miss out."
