The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 266
Qin Keqing's first impression of Jia Baoyu was very bad, thinking he was a licentious person.So when he faced Jia Baoyu, his face turned cold.Even Jia Ke beside him stopped talking, just sneered.

Mother Jia saw the embarrassment, and she was afraid that Jia Ke would turn his back on Jia Baoyu on the spot.Jia's mother has kept Jia Baoyu by her side for so many years, she has almost forgotten Jia Baoyu's dislike for him when she was born, and now she regards Jia Baoyu as her darling.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was about to annoy Jia Ke, he hurriedly rescued him, "Your master, my wife must have been waiting impatiently, don't waste time with me, my wife, hurry up and offer tea to them, and then I have to go to the ancestral hall. Auspicious times are not good."

Jia Ke had been dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu for a long time. Hearing Jia Mu's words at this time, she hurried forward to help Qin Keqing up, and together they gave Jia Mu a gift, and then left.

And Jia Baoyu stood there, still staring at Qin Keqing's back obsessively, until Qin Keqing had disappeared, then regretfully left his eyes, and once again came to Jia Mu's side to act like a baby to her.

But this time, Mother Jia didn't hold him in her arms like before, calling out her sweetheart.Instead, he said to him seriously: "Baoyu, you are not young anymore, you should already know about personnel affairs. If you let your master know about the rude behavior just now, you will inevitably be beaten this time."

Jia Baoyu was a little worried at this point. He squinted and lay in Jia's mother's arms, begging for mercy.

Jia's mother originally wanted to scare him, but didn't mean to do anything to him. Now she only saw that Jia Baoyu knew he was wrong, so she brought a smile on her face again, and then warned Jia Baoyu, "You can't do this in the future. Otherwise, with your big brother's temper, he wouldn't beat you to death."

Seeing that Jia Mu was no longer angry, Jia Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then sincerely assured Jia Mu that she would never behave like this again in the future, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart. Jia Ke is just a layman, how could she Deserving of such a fairy-like woman.

Besides, when Jia Ke and Qin Keqing walked out of Jia's mother's compound, Qin Keqing immediately said to Jia Ke in displeasure: "I don't think your brother Baoyu is a good person. He didn't learn well at a young age, and he must be in the future." A person spinning around in a pile of fat and powder."

Jia Ke agreed with her words very much, and said to her: "You still have good eyesight. My younger brother Baoyu has been different from others since he was a child. When I was one year old, I drew lots for the rouge box. I heard that at that time my father He was very angry, and said he must be a drunkard when he grows up."

Qin Keqing opened her small mouth and asked in disbelief: "Is this true, is it impossible? Isn't it true that big families never put these things in lottery?"

"Things in this mansion are more complicated than you imagined, and you will know after a while, but you don't have to worry, we live our own lives in the next mansion and let them make trouble." Jia Ke said nonchalantly.

Qin Keqing frowned and asked: "Just this doesn't explain anything, does he have other things to do?"

"My Baoyu likes to be hugged by beautiful little maids since she was a child, and she never let her mother touch her hands. Is it a miracle?" Jia Ke told Qin Keqing what she heard.

Qin Keqing was stunned at this moment, she didn't expect such a thing to happen to Jia Baoyu when she was young, it seems that she will stay away from him in the future.

The two walked while talking, and after a while, they came to the Rongxi Hall, and walked eastward through the side door next to it.Then came to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

When Jia Ke and Qin Keqing entered Mrs. Wang's courtyard, they were seen by the little maid waiting at the door. After seeing them, the little maid hurried forward to greet them, saying with her mouth like a cheerful nightingale: "Master and Madam are waiting inside. It’s been a while. The wife got angry, and the master said that he must have gone to the old lady’s place first, and then persuaded the wife. Go in quickly, and be careful.”

When Jia Ke heard the little maid's words, she felt a little grateful, knowing that in Mrs. Wang's courtyard, there was no one who had good intentions towards Jia Ke.It was the first one he had encountered.

So Jia Ke took out a handful of golden melon seeds from her bosom, there were about a dozen of them, and handed them out to the little maid.These golden melon seeds were prepared by him early in the morning, and they were prepared for these days to reward people.

The little girl was holding this small handful of golden melon seeds, her mouth was wide open, she was just kindly afraid of the new grandma for a while, and she was made things difficult by her wife on the first day, so she casually talked about the situation just now.I didn't expect the uncle to reward her so much at once.

When Qin Keqing heard the little maid's words, she felt a little scared, and frowned. After all, she was going to meet a decent wife, and if Mrs. Wang made her look bad, she had no choice but to endure it.

Jia Ke saw her worry, so she advised her, "Don't worry, although she is our aunt, she is not my biological mother after all. And now I count it as a separate government. If she gives you Shake your face, it's a big deal that we will come less in the future."

Qin Keqing thinks about it too, their Wuyang Hou Mansion is still some distance away from here.If Mrs. Wang doesn't like her, it's a big deal not to come here in the future.After all, Jia Ke was not born to Mrs. Wang. Although there is such a thing as filial piety, it is somewhat different from real children.

Qin Keqing relaxed a little, and followed Jia Ke into Mrs. Wang's courtyard, all the way to the innermost three small principal rooms, when Caixia standing at the door saw them coming.Quickly open the curtain and invite them in.

Jia Ke led Qin Keqing into the main room, where the heating was blowing and there was a faint scent of sandalwood.As for Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang was sitting on a low couch by the window having tea.

Jia Ke and Qin Keqing hurried up to salute Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. Jia Zheng didn't say anything else, but Mrs. Wang said with a sullen face, "What's going on? It's too late to salute on the first day."

Jia Ke immediately explained: "My son came from the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion, and he passed by the old lady first. I thought that the old lady is the most honored in the mansion, and she can't pass through the door without entering. So I went to visit the old lady first, so This is a bit late. Please forgive me, mother."

Mrs. Wang heard Jia Ke's explanation, so she couldn't say anything more. After all, our ancient filial piety was greater than the sky. If Jia Ke and others wanted to be filial to her, she should also be filial to Jia's mother. At this time, she couldn't say that she must first Only after seeing her can I go to see the old lady again.

When Jia Zheng saw Jia Ke next to him, he really went to visit the old lady first.He is very satisfied with this. Jia Zheng may have some flaws, but he can't find any problems with filial piety. He still agrees with Jia Ke's first visit to the old lady.After all, the elders and children are in order. Jia Ke first went to see Jia's mother, and then came to see his father. There was no problem at all in terms of etiquette.

So Jia Zheng put the tea cup in his hand on the kang table next to him, and said to Mrs. Wang: "Since they first met the old lady, it is also due etiquette. Now let's serve tea. I'm done with it here. They go to the shrine."

When Mrs. Wang heard what Jia Zheng said, she could only mutter a few sentences in her mouth.Then he sat upright, and the little girl next to him immediately brought two servings of hot tea into the hands of Jia Ke and Qin Keqing.

Jia Ke and Qin Keqing took the hot tea and knelt down on the ground, and respectfully sent the tea to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang respectively.

After Jia Ke and Mrs. Wang took the tea, they took a sip of the tea and placed it on the kang table next to them.Then Mrs. Wang took out two red envelopes from her bosom and gave them to Jia Ke and Qin Keqing respectively.

Jia Ke and Qin Keqing took the red envelope and thanked their parents again.

Seeing that everything was going well and Mrs. Wang didn't give them any problems, Jia Zheng was relieved.Then Jia Zheng asked them to get up.

At this moment, Madam Wang asked the little maids to show them how to sit. After Jia Ke and Qin Keqing were seated, the little maids brought tea again.At this point, all the etiquette is over.Now there is only one last step left, that is, Jia Ke takes Qin Keqing to the ancestral hall of Ningguo Mansion, and writes her name on the family tree in front of her ancestors.

After Jia Ke and Qin Keqing drank tea, Jia Zheng seemed to be fine.Then he said to the two of them: "It's getting late, let's go to the ancestral hall now, and finish these things earlier, and everyone will relax."

So Jia Ke and Qin Keqing got up quickly, and Jia Zheng led them to the second gate. Someone had already prepared a soft sedan chair for Qin Keqing, and the sedan chair was carried by four strong women.Qin Keqing got on the sedan chair here, Jia Ke and Jia Zheng got on their horses, and then left through the side door of Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as they left the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Ke's personal soldiers guarded them tightly, and they walked about a stone's throw away before arriving at the Ningguo Mansion.

As for Jia Zhen, Jia Rong has been waiting here for a long time. The father and son are doing well in the capital now, and the nobles in the capital no longer treat them as shabby households. All this depends on Jia Ke. position in.Therefore, the father and son greeted him at the door early, trying to curry favor with Jia Ke.

Now seeing Jia Zheng, Jia Ke and the others are here, so they hurried up to greet him.

"Nephew Jia Zhen, I have met my uncle." After speaking, he gave Jia Zheng a deep bow.

As soon as Jia Zheng saw Jia Zhen, he went straight to the point and asked, "Is everything ready in the ancestral hall?"

"Uncle, don't worry, I ordered someone to clean out the ancestral hall early on, and I'm just waiting for the two newcomers to come." Jia Zhen quickly answered Jia Zheng's words.

Only then was Jia Zheng satisfied. Although Jia Zhen is now the patriarch of the Jia family, in fact many matters in the family are decided by Jia Zheng. Naturally, Jia Zhen dare not neglect what Jia Zheng ordered.

Seeing Jia Ke standing next to Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen hurried over to salute, "Brother, you have not been back to Beijing for a long time, and you will be free after a while. I will treat you to dinner, and you can also try our Beijing restaurant." in the flavor."

"Brother Zhen, you are welcome. We are all one family. We will see each other more in the future." Jia Ke also said some polite words to him.

Seeing everyone chatting a few words, Jia Zheng acted out of courtesy, "Let's talk about it when we enter the mansion, what does it look like to talk at the door?"

Everyone dared not disobey Jia Zheng's words, so they entered the side gate of Ningguo Mansion together and came to the second gate.In front of the second gate, Jia Zhen's stepwife, Youshi, was already waiting there.
