The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

In the blink of an eye, it is the seventh year of Chunyou, and it has been seven years since Emperor Chunyou ascended the throne. During these seven years, it seems that God has taken good care of Emperor Chunyou. No major disasters occurred in the Dajing Dynasty, which can be regarded as The weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

However, the world will not always be smooth. In the summer of the seventh year of Chunyou, a flood occurred in the Dongting Lake area of ​​Hunan. people displaced.

In order to control the disaster and appease the common people, Emperor Chunyou dispatched Lin Hai, who had been transferred back to the capital to serve as Minister of the Household Department, to personally preside over the disaster relief work. Control the situation and don't allow the victims to be exploited by those who want to cause unnecessary turmoil.

In the past seven years, there have been no major wars in Dajing, the war expenditure has been reduced a lot, and there have been no disasters in various places, the tax revenue is sufficient, and the treasury has been abundant. Facing this flood, Lin Hai can allocate sufficient materials and money. But the biggest problem is how to ensure that the materials and money can fall into the hands of the victims as much as possible, not just a small part.

Therefore, Lin Hai invited the imperial decree to go to the disaster-stricken area in Hunan in person and direct the disaster relief matters in person, so as to minimize the impact of the disaster.

In the past few years, Emperor Chunyou occupied the righteousness and devoured it, causing Zhuang Sheng's power to be compressed again and again - including the Zhen family's power in the south of the Yangtze River.On the surface, he gave Zhuang Sheng a lot of favors on the surface, and he made Zhuang Sheng's eldest son Zhuang Shuo his eldest son, and promised that he would not be degraded in the future.In the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, he was naturally very satisfied with Emperor Chunyou, even if Zhuang Sheng wanted to sue in front of the Supreme Emperor, he couldn't find a reason.

Now that Zhuang Sheng has been forced into a panic, he is about to lose his patience and jump over the wall in a hurry, but he cannot be allowed to use this disaster as a topic to make a big fuss.

In order to ensure Lin Hai's safety, Zhuang Ye sent Zhuang Yu to personally lead the disaster relief army to Hunan with Lin Hai.

Zhuang Yu is now 16 years old. Since he was 12 years old, he has been arranged by Zhuang Ye to go to the Beijing West Camp for training. Now he is completely able to take charge of his own affairs, and no one dares to underestimate him because of his age.

When Lin Hai traveled far away, he went to the disaster area. How could Jia Min feel at ease because of resistance from local officials, turmoil in the hearts of the people, and even the possibility of a post-disaster plague?

Lin Hai was transferred back to the capital five years ago, and was appointed as the Minister of the Household Department as soon as he came back. Three years later, he was successfully promoted to the Minister of the Household Department, which can be described as a steady rise.

And Jia Min, who raised Lin Ji under his name, no longer worries about childlessness all day long. His daughter is also a noble prince and concubine. The past few years have been much better.I don't know if it was because of this reason that Jia Min accidentally became pregnant two years ago, and after successfully conceiving in October, she gave birth to a full-term son named Lin Yu.When Jia Min had given up having his own son, Lin Yu's arrival almost made Jia Min weep with joy.Therefore, even if she hurt her body because of giving birth at an advanced age, she poured all her love into Lin Yu without reservation, so she inevitably ignored Lin Ji.

In Prince Chengke's mansion, Ding was also added.Qiu Qingyu gave birth to a pair of twins two years ago, which proved that Mr. Bai's prediction was completely correct.

Because Mr. Bai found out that the Supreme Emperor was poisoned by a witchcraft and saved his life, the Supreme Emperor was very grateful to Mr. Bai.It was precisely because of this relationship that when the twins were born, the Supreme Emperor was also overjoyed, and immediately gave them names: Zhuang Xi, Zhuang Xi.Except that Zhuang Wei is the eldest grandson, and Zhuang Yan is the first son and grandson who were given the name by the Supreme Emperor himself, only Zhuang Xuan and Zhuang Yan in this generation of emperors and grandchildren have received this honor.

Not only that, even Emperor Chunyou issued an imperial decree on the day of the full moon of the twins, granting them the title of heir king, which means that after Zhuang Yu inherits the title of Prince Chengke in the future, Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Yan will at least be heirs. The title of king, and if they grow up to make some contributions in the future, they must be the title of county king.

One family with three princes, this kind of favor has rarely been seen since ancient times.

However, the two twins, whose teeth are not yet fully formed, are completely unable to understand how rare this grace is. They just smile every day and scream to please others.

It took many years for Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu to have such a pair of babies. Naturally, they love and dote on them very much. If they hadn't had the utmost trust in Mr. Bai, they might have given up on having a child again.

When the twins were born, Zhuang Yu was already 14 years old, and Daiyu was already ten years old.Because Zhuang Ye was busy with military affairs, and Zhuang Yu was at the critical moment of training in the military camp at that time, he rarely stayed in the mansion. On the contrary, Daiyu accompanied Qiu Qingyu to take care of the twins every day, making Zhuang Xi and Zhuang Xi two , it is very close and sticky.Perhaps it was because Daiyu would read books and read poems to them when they were in Qiu Qingyu's womb, so they were most sensitive to Daiyu's voice, even if they were playing, as long as they heard Daiyu's voice, they would Immediately and invariably, they turned their heads to look at Daiyu, and stretched out their arms for a hug.

So when Zhuang Yu rarely returned home, he was very depressed to find that these two toothless younger brothers had almost completely taken Daiyu's attention away, and even occupied the places on both sides of Daiyu's dinner table. position, but pushed him to the opposite side.

This time Zhuang Yu led the troops to Hunan, and it was estimated that it would take two months, so naturally he had to practice for him.So, the family of five sat around the table, Zhuang Ye even poured a glass of wine for Zhuang Yu himself, and the father and son clinked glasses to drink.

Zhuang Yu took a sip of wine and looked at Daiyu sitting opposite him. The 12-year-old girl is no longer the thin and small appearance when she was young. Although she is still slender, she has gradually revealed that she belongs to a girl. With her graceful demeanor, and the light in her eyes that raised her eyes and smiled lightly, her amorous feelings have already appeared.

Zhuang Yu grew up with Daiyu, and has long been an indispensable person in Daiyu's life. Although these few years have been together less and more, when Zhuang Yu returns home, he will always find time to accompany Daiyu. Two people will not appear unfamiliar because of their separation.

When Zhuang Yu was at home, he would occasionally ask Qiu Qingyu to change Daiyu's appearance, and then take Daiyu for a stroll.

Daiyu felt that Zhuang Yu was looking at her, so she raised her head and smiled at him naturally, this touching smile made Zhuang Yu's heart feel hot, she hurriedly lowered her head, coughed in disguise, raised her glass and took a sip of wine.

Zhuang Yu is already 16 years old, and he is not an age who doesn't understand anything. If there were no such rules in Prince Chengke's mansion, everyone in Zhuang Yu's room would have had them.

But Daiyu was still young, so Zhuang Yu could only wait, but he didn't dare to cross the threshold.Even in order not to let my heart be too restless, I even reduced my movements of holding hands and rubbing my head a lot.

However, Zhuang Yu was able to control his behavior with self-control, but the fluctuations in his mood were helpless no matter how powerful the self-control was.

He was afraid to look directly into Daiyu's eyes, but he was reluctant to take his eyes off Daiyu's body.He has stayed in the barracks for a long time now, and he lacks the opportunity to get along with Daiyu, so he is simply reluctant to avoid Daiyu.

Zhuang Yu secretly raised his head to look at Daiyu in a short while, thinking that even if he couldn't get close, it would be perfect if Daiyu smiled at him from time to time - if there were no two fat dolls beside Daiyu .

Zhuang Yu watched with envy and jealousy Daiyu serving the twins food and wiping their mouths. He couldn't help but glared at the two younger brothers who were always trying to steal Daiyu's attention from him. He was not at home on weekdays and they pestered Daiyu. Forget about Yu, he has gone home, and they are still bullying Daiyu, which is really a bit hateful.

But Zhuang Xuan and Zhuang Yan don't know how jealous their elder brother is in their hearts. They are taken care of by Daiyu, and they are getting more and more insatiable. They actually opened their mouths on one side and asked Daiyu to feed them. You bite me. One bite, very unhappy.

Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu were also happy that the twins had a deep relationship with Daiyu. Although they both trusted Daiyu's character, the relationship between people was always difficult to say.If Daiyu loved the twins very much, and there was no interest relationship between the twins and Zhuang Yu, there would naturally not be any conflicts in Prince Chengke's mansion.

Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu, the unscrupulous parents, used to like to see Zhuang Yu's depressed expression the most, but after all, considering that Zhuang Yu was about to go on a long trip, his conscience found out that he took the twins away after the meal, so that Zhuang Yu could Spend a while alone with Daiyu.

Daiyu watched Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu leave with the twins in their arms, and the servants also retreated a certain distance. Only Zhuang Ye was left in front of her eyes, looking at her with burning eyes that she couldn't describe. , For some reason, Daiyu actually felt a little fever on her face.

Daiyu felt so strange in her heart, she didn't know what was wrong with her, she grew up laughing and laughing with Zhuang Yu since she was a child, coquettish, teasing, capricious, and playing tricks, she never had to shy away from Zhuang Yu, but now she saw Looking at Zhuang Yu's eyes, I always feel that something is different.

Zhuang Yu stared blankly at Daiyu for a while, until Daiyu's ears turned red and didn't respond, Daiyu felt ashamed and annoyed for a moment, stomped her feet, and said angrily, "Brother Yu, if you have nothing to do, Dai'er went back to her room first."

When Zhuang Yu heard that Daiyu said she was going back to her room, she immediately came to her senses, and subconsciously took Daiyu's hand, and said, "Don't, Dai'er stay with me for a while, I'm leaving the house tomorrow. It will take several months."

Naturally, Daiyu didn't really want to go back to her room, she was pulled by Zhuang Yu, and she didn't break free, she muttered in a low voice: "Then you just look at him and don't speak..."

Daiyu grew up held by Zhuang Yu's hand, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Instead, she grabbed Zhuang Yu's palm with both hands, and even scratched his palm with her fingers maliciously - she had already discovered that, Zhuang Yu He is not afraid of pain, but he can't bear the itch most. If he wants to bully him, just tickle him.

Zhuang Yu only felt that Daiyu's fingers were soft, scratching his palm, as if scratching his heart, and reflexively grasped Daiyu's hand tightly. At this moment, even though he knew that his heartbeat had gone far beyond The usual frequency, but also reluctant to let go.
