The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 420 Playing Power
Jia Ke looked at the maid next to Rui Zhu, and saw that this maid could only be considered average-looking.But all the clothes were washed very clean, and the dress was very neat.Seems like a hard worker.

"That's right, just this maid, I think the husband will be satisfied." Jia Ke's mansion is not without beautiful maids, but Jia Ke thinks that Yu Jiang came to Wuyanghou's mansion to teach, not to have a romantic relationship with the maid. like.

Jia Ke didn't want the incidents in the novels, where the teacher and the maid, or even the young lady, to have entanglements to happen in her own house.

Seeing that Jia Ke agreed, the little maid also knelt down and wished him a blessing, then stood aside and stopped talking.Seems to be a taciturn one.

Jia Ke couldn't help applauding Qin Keqing's intelligence. Although Yu Jiang said he wanted to be Qin Zhong's husband, he was an outsider after all.If a young, beautiful and talkative person is sent, I am afraid that Wuyang Hou Mansion will not have any secrets about this person in a short time.

When Jia Ke returned to the inner house at night, Qin Keqing was talking to Qin Zhong.

Qin Zhongzheng narrated to Qin Keqing with an aggrieved face how fierce Mr. Xin Laid was.I am afraid that he will be abused by his husband in the future, and he is begging Qin Keqing to change him to a good-looking husband.

Jia Ke coughed outside the door, and Qin Zhong's voice stopped immediately.

Jia Ke then opened the door and came in, only to see Qin Zhong sitting alone on the pier, like a quail.It seems that he is very afraid of Jia Ke.

"Why do you think this gentleman is not good?" Jia Ke asked Qin Zhong expressionlessly.

Among them, seeing Jia Ke's face seemed to be angry, even more submissive.Sitting there twisting and turning, just not answering Jia Ke's words.

Qin Keqing looked at him a little pitifully, and hurried over to smooth things over for him: "Qin Zhong is just a little timid, and he didn't say that he would change his husband."

Jia Ke nodded to Qin Keqing and said: "I personally invited Mr. Meng Ming, the head of the Imperial Academy, to recommend this gentleman. He is a man of erudition and talent. He can teach Qin Zhong for a year or two. When the examination room opens next year, I'm afraid it will end."

Qin Keqing fetched a towel and wiped Jia Ke's face carefully, then took him by the hand and led him into the back room, where he sat on the chief seat.

After making arrangements for Jia Ke, Qin Keqing asked, "Didn't you say that you wanted to invite Baoyu to study with Qin Zhong? Now that you have invited me, do you need to go to the next mansion to talk about it?"

When Qin Zhong heard that he wanted to invite Jia Baoyu, his eyes lit up, and he looked expectantly at Jia Ke.

Jia Ke looked at his dispirited look, and said angrily, "It's too late for us to hide from Baoyu, you still have to invite him home."

Qin Keqing actually said that. After all, Jia Baoyu is Jia Ke's younger brother, and he is much closer than Qin Zhong in terms of distance.No matter what, she had to ask. Seeing that Jia Ke didn't agree, she felt relieved.

In fact, for Jia Baoyu as a person, but married women are a bit of a headache.It's because Jia Baoyu didn't know if he was really innocent, or if he didn't know how to defend men and women. When he met these beautiful girls, he would go up and talk to them.

On several occasions, the Marquis of Wuyang held gatherings among wives.When Jia Baoyu broke into the meeting, he showed gallantry to the girl for a while.Qin Keqing, who was on the side, was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.In the end, it was Rui Zhu who was smart enough to scare him away by telling him that the master had come back to look for him.

"Mr. will move here tomorrow. From now on, Mr. Qin's food and drink will follow Qin Zhong's standards. We must not let people say that we do not respect teachers." Jia Ke instructed Qin Keqing.

"Don't worry, sir, I understand. I'll tell the kitchen in a while, for the new husband's meal and one of our standards, each meal will be accompanied by a jug of wine." Qin Keqing said softly.

"There is no need to deliver wine in the morning and at noon. It is okay to deliver some wine to the husband in the evening to relieve fatigue." Jia Ke was very disgusted with drinking in the morning and at noon, because he thought it was the time of work during the day. Wouldn't it be a mistake to drink alcohol?

Seeing that the matter had been settled and there was no way to change it, Qin Zhong was very depressed, but his eyes lit up when he remembered the agreement he had made with Jia Baoyu two days ago, and then he said to Jia Ke with anticipation: "Brother-in-law, I have an appointment with Baoyu." Yes, I will go to the Mantou Temple of our family temple to fulfill my vows in two days. You said I can’t go to school in two days?”

After Qin Keqing heard this, she also felt that since she had agreed to Baoyu, she should not break her word, so she also pleaded with Jia Ke for him.

"Master, I don't go to school for more than a day or two. Besides, my husband needs to pack some things when he arrives, so let him fulfill his wish with Baoyu, and it won't be too late to go to school again."

After hearing what they said, Jia Ke laughed coldly, "Baoyu goes to the Mantou Nunnery to fulfill his vows seven or eight times a year, how can he have so many vows to repay? He just fell in love with the handsome little nun in the Mantou Nunnery, find someone reason to play."

Qin Keqing was a little surprised when she heard Jia Ke say that, "That's a quiet place of Buddhism, how can there be such a mess?"

"The Mantou Temple has long been a mess, and there is no one clean from top to bottom."

After Jia Ke finished speaking, she gave Qin Zhong a hard look.Qin Zhong was so frightened that he shrank his neck and hid aside, not daring to speak.

It turns out that Jia Ke remembered what Qin Zhong did in the Mantou Temple in the Dream of the Red Chamber, and now she feels angry with Qin Zhong.

Seeing Jia Ke getting angry, Qin Keqing didn't say anything.

Jia Ke thought for a while, "You go to the study to see the teacher tomorrow, and it's best to start the class right away. You have one day off every ten days. Before you get the honor in the exam, you will work like this."

After hearing this, Qin Zhong's face became even more sad. According to this arrangement, he might not have time to see Baoyu again in the future.

So Qin Zhong looked at Qin Keqing with pleading eyes.But Qin Keqing turned his face away as if he didn't see it.

From the words just now, Qin Keqing can already see that Qin Zhong has abandoned his studies, and Jia Ke's arrangement is just in line with Qin Keqing's wishes.

Jia Ke thought about it for a while, if Qin Zhong was invited alone without Baoyu, Mrs. Wang might have something to say.

So he said to Qin Keqing: "In a few days, you have time to go to the next mansion. Tell Madam, if Baoyu needs Mr., I can help."

As soon as Qin Keqing heard this, she understood Jia Ke's meaning, which meant that Baoyu and Qin Zhong should not be allowed to study together in the future, and they should be separated as much as possible.

"According to the uncle's words, I will go to the next mansion to talk to my wife tomorrow."

When Jia Ke and Qin Keqing were chatting, they suddenly heard someone outside saying, "Second Grandma, come here so late."

Jia Ke and Qin Keqing knew who was coming as soon as they heard it.They were also surprised, what was Wang Xifeng doing here so late?
One must know that Wang Xifeng has never come to Wuyanghou's mansion so late. After all, it is indeed a bit of a bad idea for a young and beautiful daughter-in-law like Wang Xifeng to come to the uncle's mansion at night.

Just as Jia Ke and Qin Keqing stood up, ready to meet her, hearty laughter sounded outside the door, and then the door curtain was opened.A beautiful young daughter-in-law walked in.

Qin Keqing took two steps forward, grabbed Wang Xifeng and said, "Could it be that something important happened for you to come here so late?"

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "What's the big deal? It's just a small matter for my sister-in-law."

"It's not like your temper to be so polite." Qin Keqing covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.

Wang Xifeng secretly glanced at Jia Ke, didn't speak, and just laughed with Qin Keqing.

Jia Ke knew what was up with them at a glance, so she said, "If you have something to discuss, Qin Zhong and I will go out and take a walk in the yard."

After saying that, he walked out of the house, saw Qin Zhong still sitting there, and said angrily: "Let's go soon."

It was only then that Qin Zhong reluctantly followed behind Jia Ke. You must know that he was very unwilling to be with his brother-in-law. It's not like Jia Baoyu and others who are graceful and handsome, and their appearance is just ordinary.

For Qin Zhong, who likes to make friends by looking at his face, Jia Ke is not in the range of making friends.

Wang Xifeng watched Jia Ke take Qin Zhong out, just like Qin Keqing, moved here.Then he leaned behind Qin Keqing and said, "Sister-in-law, sister, I really can't do anything this time, so I come here to ask, sister-in-law will help my sister in this one."

Qin Keqing tapped her forehead with her finger, "You, this is the mouth that can speak. If you have something to say, I will help you this time as long as I can do it. Or look at you, poor man, I don't even bother."

When Wang Xifeng heard what Qin Keqing said, she immediately smiled. She knew Qin Keqing's energy now.Just without going through Jia Ke, as long as she speaks, there is really nothing in this world that she cannot do.

Wang Xifeng thought about it, how should she tell Qin Keqing about this matter, after all, it's not glorious.

"Sister-in-law, I really did a little badly in this matter. There is a rich man in Chang'an County like this. There is a daughter named Jin Ge'er. She was originally married to Chang'an's guard, but later she was married by the master of Chang'an Mansion. My brother-in-law fell in love with it. The rich man wanted to withdraw from the marriage but was afraid that Chang'an would not follow the defense, so he asked someone to give me 3000 taels of silver and asked me to help him withdraw the marriage. I also took the master's in a moment of confusion post, to garrison Chang'an and let them withdraw the kiss."

Qin Keqing frowned when she heard this, and felt that Wang Xifeng's handling of this matter was wrong. Isn't this bullying others and forcing them to withdraw from the marriage?Besides, I would rather destroy ten temples than destroy one marriage.It's kind of immoral to do that.

It's just that Qin Keqing can only say perfunctorily: "Let them get married, then they will marry separately, and I can only blame them, there is no destiny to be together in this life."

After hearing Qin Keqing's words, Wang Xifeng clapped her hands together and said excitedly: "I knew my sister-in-law and I had the same thoughts. Who would have thought that there are always people who are looking for troubles in the world. It was already all right, and they insisted on causing trouble. Finally out of hand."
