The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 417 Friendship
Following the arrival of Zuodu Censor Tianye's memorial to the capital, the cloud over the emperor and the military plane began to dissipate.

Except for Jia Ke, everyone in the Military Aircraft Department thought that the troubles were over, but they didn't know that this was just the beginning.The troubles that follow are serious.

After the capital calmed down, the attention of all parties shifted from the Lianghuai area to eating, drinking and having fun.

Especially King Zhongshun, during this period of time, began to invite people to banquets frequently, and brought out Qiguan, the most proud actor in his mansion, to attend the banquet, and sometimes even asked him to sing a cappella in the banquet.

It didn't take long for this Qi official to become the number one famous actor in the capital by virtue of her exquisite appearance and charming and gentle figure.

And this time King Zhongshun seemed to be very magnanimous, and did not overly interfere with Qi Guan's freedom.

And Qiguan'er also had a good time among the princes and princes, and lived a comfortable and happy life.

Naturally, Jia Baoyu, Xue Pan and the others hooked up with Qiguan very quickly.It didn't take long for Jia Baoyu and Qiguan to be inseparable, like glue.

After Xue Pan knew about this, he was extremely dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu.Originally, Qiguan introduced Jia Baoyu himself, but he didn't expect Jia Baoyu to do it first.

Originally, Xue Pan wanted to find an opportunity to make Jia Baoyu look bad, but thinking of the power of the Rongguo Mansion, he pushed the matter down.

Now the reason why the Xue family can get along well in the capital still depends on Rongguo Mansion and Wuyanghou Mansion. If they fall out with Jia Baoyu, and his uncle Wang Ziteng is far away at the border, no one will make decisions for him in the capital. In the end, the Xue family may be afraid. There is no place to stand in the capital.

Although Xue Pan swallowed the anger in his stomach for the time being, he was not happy after all, so he drank a lot of stuffy wine that day, returned home and made a lot of noise, making Lixiangyuan restless.

Aunt Xue couldn't do anything by herself, so she hurriedly ordered someone to go to the Grand View Garden to invite Xue Baochai back.

Although Xue Baochai is Xue Pan's younger sister, but because she has some schemes in her heart, Xue Pan sometimes listens to her sister's words very much, and even has a little fear.So every time Xue Pan was drunk and crazy, Aunt Xue would invite Xue Baochai to subdue Xue Pan.

This time was no exception, when Xue Baochai came to Lixiangyuan, Xue Pan was in the courtyard, yelling and beating, beating whoever he saw, completely looking like a demon king.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai hurried forward and ordered several servants to hold Xue Pan down.

"Hurry up and send your uncle back to the house."

After Xue Baochai finished his orders, he ordered the kitchen to prepare hangover soup.After that, he ignored it and ordered someone to pour Xue Pan down again. After pouring down two bowls of hangover soup, Xue Pan became honest and fell asleep in the room after muttering a few words.

After Xue Baochai settled Xue Pan, she came to Aunt Xue's house.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Aunt Xue weeping on the kang.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

Aunt Xue wiped her tears when she saw Xue Baochai, and said with a smile on her face, "Have you comforted your brother?"

"Mom, don't worry, brother has already fallen asleep. When he wakes up tomorrow morning, he will definitely come and apologize to mom."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she was relieved, pulled Xue Baochai onto the kang, held her hand and said, "It's still Baochai, fortunately there is you in this family, otherwise I don't know what the future will be like."

After hearing this, Xue Baochai's face was slightly rosy, and she said, "Mom, don't tell me, otherwise I'm going to die of embarrassment."

Seeing Baochai like this, Aunt Xue also felt a little sad in her heart. She originally wanted to marry Baochai and Baoyu, but she didn't expect Lin Daiyu to run out halfway. What does the future look like.

Xue Baochai is a smart and intelligent woman. Seeing her mother's appearance, she understood the reason, and then quickly comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, this must not be a good thing. Besides, Baoyu's appearance is not a good match, maybe There are still good ones waiting for me.”

Aunt Xue knew that these were Xue Baochai's words to comfort her, but what could be done?He could only force a smile and continue chatting with Xue Baochai.

In fact, Aunt Xue didn't know that Xue Baochai already had an idea in her mind, but it was just difficult to say it directly.

When Jia Ke returned to the Marquis of Wuyang that day, he unexpectedly saw Qin Zhong at the lunch table.

You must know that Qin Zhong and Jia Baoyu have become conjoined twins since he came to Wuyang Hou Mansion.The two of them almost sat, slept, ate and clothed together.

Some time ago, Jia Ke also said that he would invite a famous gentleman for Qin Zhong.But Qin Zhong thought it would be better to study together with everyone, so he politely refused.

From this it can be seen how close the two of them are, and it turned out that Qin Zhong often came back for dinner these two days, which is not common.

Seeing Jia Ke coming in, Qin Zhong quickly stood up and saluted shyly, "Brother-in-law, you are back."

"I'm back, why do you have time to go home for dinner? Could it be that Baoyu doesn't play with you anymore." Jia Ke said jokingly.

But I didn't expect that just after Jia Ke finished saying this, Qin Zhong's eyes were red and tears came down.

At this time, Qin Keqing, who came in from the outside, saw this scene, and said to Jia Ke coquettishly: "It's you, and I made him cry again, so I persuaded him."

Seeing this situation, Jia Ke didn't know that Qin Zhong and Jia Baoyu might have had a conflict, so she asked, "Tell brother-in-law what's going on? If Baoyu dares to bully you, see if I don't deal with him." .”

But Qin Zhong didn't complain as Jia Ke imagined, but suddenly threw himself on the soft couch next to him and cried bitterly.

This really confused Jia Ke, what happened?So he looked at Qin Keqing who was beside him.

Qin Keqing said helplessly: "I heard that Baoyu has made a new friend now, and Qin Zhong is a bit neglected."

When Jia Ke heard it, she felt a shock in her heart, what is all this?Baoyu met a new friend, and he just made trouble at home like this, so what?

"Qin Zhong, let me tell you, don't be so petty, who doesn't know a few new friends. Now that Baoyu has met new friends, you can be regarded as your friends if you go with him. It's good for everyone to get acquainted and play together. .” Jia Ke tried to speak out as much as possible to persuade Qin Zhong.

Qin Keqing was also at the side persuading her: "Stop crying, let's eat first, and talk to your brother-in-law after dinner, he has plenty of ways to help you."

Qin Zhong then turned his head pitifully, looked at Jia Ke and Qin Keqing, "Will brother-in-law really help me?"

Qin Keqing could only say as if coaxing a child: "Of course, if he doesn't help you, you will be his brother-in-law."

After hearing this, Qin Zhong returned to the dining table blushing step by step.

Looking at him, Jia Ke felt more and more awkward. She turned her head and said to Qin Keqing, "You can't let Qin Zhong down anymore. What do you think he is now? If I met him on the street, I would think he was Where's the girl?"

Qin Keqing thought about it for a while and then looked at Qin Zhong, she couldn't help but nodded.Jia Ke didn't say that she hadn't found out yet, but after Jia Ke said that, she realized that Qin Zhong did have some female features.

After a while, all kinds of rare delicacies were placed on the table like flowing water.

Jia Ke and the others just started to eat, but in Wuyanghou Mansion Jia Ke never talked about eating or sleeping.Ask Qin Zhong directly at the dinner table, "Can you explain clearly what's going on? Don't cry all the time, it's annoying to watch."

When Qin Zhong heard Jia Ke's bad tone, his eyes turned red again, and he secretly raised his eyes to look at Jia Ke, but Jia Ke stared back and suppressed all the tears.

Qin Keqing also saw their actions from the side, but she also wanted to hear what happened to Qin Zhong.One must know that she was the one who brought up Qin Zhong when she was young. Although the two of them were not siblings, she did not make any difference between Qin Zhong and his siblings.

"Baoyu didn't come to play with me during this time. I heard from others that he often went out with Xue Pan to find someone to drink. When I went to see him today, he was drunk and had a ribbon tied around his waist that wasn't his. He must have someone else in his heart." Qin Zhong said aggrieved there.

When Jia Ke heard this, she almost spit out the wine in her mouth, and Qin Keqing who was beside her was also dumbfounded, although Qin Keqing was originally a young lady who didn't leave the door.

But since marrying Jia Ke, as the hostess of the Marquis of Wuyang, Qin Keqing also often attends the banquets of the noble ladies and wives in the capital, and has listened a lot about splitting peaches and cutting sleeves intentionally or unintentionally.But no matter what, she never thought that it would happen to her younger brother.

Jia Ke said to Qin Keqing angrily, "From now on, he is not allowed to go to Rongguo Mansion again. If I find him with Jia Baoyu again, I will break their legs."

Qin Keqing did not protect Qin Zhong this time, but nodded firmly.

Jia Ke thought for a while, this alone may not be able to stop Qin Zhong, he should find something to do so that he has no time to think about other things.

"Tomorrow, I will go to Mr. Meng Ming, the head of the Imperial Academy, and ask him to recommend a disciple to me. I will personally invite Qin Zhong to be our teacher. From now on, let him study hard at home, and he is not allowed to step out. One step at the door of the house." After Jia Ke said this, the anger on his face disappeared a lot, after all, this incident was not considered a scandal in ancient times, and it was even an elegant thing to put it bluntly.This is the huge difference between modern and ancient concepts.

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Qin Keqing also showed a smile on her face.Her father asks you to hand over Qin Zhong to her, just because he hopes that Qin Zhong can succeed with her.Now that Jia Ke has arranged for Qin Zhong, in a few years, Qin Zhong may be able to end.It can be considered that she is worthy of Qin Ye's kindness in nurturing her.

After hearing Jia Ke's arrangement, Qin Zhong burst into tears again.Looking at Jia Ke with grief and indignation, Jia Ke felt that he had broken up a pair of fateful mandarin ducks, and he felt a little guilty in his heart.

Jia Ke quickly shook her head and put this thought out of her mind.Then, regardless of Qin Zhong, he casually ate a few mouthfuls, and left the room to study.

After Jia Ke left, Qin Zhong said aggrievedly to Qin Keqing: "Sister, you see brother-in-law is getting more and more domineering. How can you lock me up at home? Baoyu won't see me in two days, he will be sad."

Qin Keqing couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted to the outside: "Ruizhu, come in for me."

Ruizhu heard Qin Keqing's voice outside, and immediately ran in and asked, "Miss, what do you want?"

Qin Keqing said with anger on her face: "You give me orders, from now on, Qin Zhong can't leave our Wuyanghou's mansion."

Ruizhu was a little puzzled, what happened?He was fine just now, why are you grounding Uncle Qin now?But he did not dare to disobey Qin Keqing's instructions, and Lian Sheng agreed: "Miss, don't worry, I will continue to order. From now on, Uncle Qin will never leave our house."

Only then did Qin Keqing nod her head in satisfaction, suddenly she seemed to think of something again, and then told Ruizhu: "If Baoyu comes to look for Qin Zhong in the future, tell Baoyu that Qin Zhong is not at home."

Although Rui Zhu didn't know the whole story, it didn't look like a good thing.So he hastily agreed.
