dream of red mansion

Chapter 417 Shallow Kiss
Jia Qing came out of Mengpozhai after talking with Jia Zheng for a few meals alone in Mengpozhai.

Jia Zheng is a good man.But a good person may not be able to do good deeds, otherwise, relying on his status as the son of Rongguo Duke Rongguo Mansion and the current head of the Rongguo Mansion, he would not have spent most of his life only a fifth-rank member.His starting point is higher than that of ten thousand people. Once he enters the court, he will be a sixth-rank Beijing official. This is the treatment that only a first-class Jinshi can have!

Today's talk can be regarded as temporarily reducing the possibility of Jia Zheng bringing troubles to Jia's mansion in this special period.

After going out, Jia Qing turned to the East Courtyard to see Wang Xifeng.Just to see if Jia Lian is still at home at this time.

When he was about to go out, he was stopped by Jia Lian again.

"what's up?"

At the door, Jia Qing looked at Jia Lian warily, and asked in a calm voice.

Jia Lian seemed to have something difficult to say, so he hesitated for a while, seeing that Jia Qing was about to leave, he hurriedly said: "That's right, Qiang'er is living alone now, and her livelihood is difficult. I'm discussing with your second sister-in-law to send him a There was an errand."

"Which Qiang'er?" Jia Qing asked.

Jia Lian coughed and said, "It's Qiang'er from the eighteenth room. Jia Qiang."

Jia Qiang understood that it was him.Ever since he was instigated by Jia Zhen to inform Jia Zhen that when Jia Zhen failed, he was taken into the criminal prison by Zhang Ziwen.

Jia Qing has always paid attention to the grievances and debtors in his work. Once Jia Zhen died, he ignored him.He was not guilty enough to die, and since he was a child of the Jia family, the Jia family didn't say anything, and the Ministry of Punishment was not easy to deal with, so he was locked up and never charged.

After Jia Qing went to the south of the Yangtze River, Jia Zheng felt that now that Yuan Chungui was an imperial concubine, it would be really unreal for someone of his own children to be imprisoned, so he asked someone to release him.

As for Jiazi, I don't know where he was taken by Jia Qing for a long time.
Jia Zheng also told him about this later.Jia Qing thought about it, this Jia Qiang is not really an unfilial son, even if he did something wrong, it was because Jia Zhen became his parents after his parents died. Jia Zhen's order can be regarded as justifiable.

Besides, Jia Zheng had already released him, so he didn't need to refute Jia Zheng's face, so he didn't take this matter to heart.

"What errand does Second Brother Lian want to send him?" Jia Qing asked casually.

Jia Qing understood what Jia Lian meant, and Jia Qiang had something to do with what happened to Jia Jing last year.If he helps Jia Qiang, he is worried that he will have some unpleasant thoughts.

"Isn't the garden already built now? Seeing that my mother's visit is coming soon, but we have never had a theater troupe in our mansion. It would be bad if there is no theater troupe when my mother visits her relatives. It is not reassuring to summon from outside temporarily.

Therefore, I thought it would be better to send people to the Gusu area, buy some opera girls and bring them back, so that no matter whether it is good or not, it will be prepared by our family for the mother, and it will be better than other places.

There is not much time now, and I am worried that there is no suitable person to do this.Your Lian's second sister-in-law chose two people for me, but they are both servants of the family.It just so happened that the previous Qiang'er begged me again, and I felt sorry for him, so my heart softened, so I agreed to him. "

Jia Qing understood what was going on when Jia Lian opened his mouth, but unexpectedly, the job of buying girls in Gusu was transferred to Jia Qiang.

"This is a good thing. Second Brother Lian is right. Our family should indeed set up its own theater troupe. Otherwise, such a large garden would be empty. It would be inconvenient for our ancestors to listen to operas when they are free. Second Brother Lian would consider That's right, just do as you say."

Naturally, Jia Qing would not object.Not to mention that he didn't have any thoughts about Jia Qiang at all, even if he did, it was all up to this point, and he had to wait for him to come back after finishing his errands before taking care of him.
Jia Lian was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Since the second brother agrees, then I will arrange for them to go to Jiangnan tomorrow, and bring the troupe back as soon as possible to prepare."

Jia Lian's reaction made Jia Qing a little puzzled.He is so kind, he is so happy after helping Jia Qiang once?

There is no PY transaction in it (I don’t know if you can understand it, hehe)
Didn't pay much attention to this, Jia Qing originally wanted to ask Jia Qiang and others if the money they went to the south of the Yangtze River to buy girls still came from Zhen's house, isn't this obviously making them greedy for money?

Think about it or forget it, anyway, it's Rongguo Mansion's money, why should he care so much?After another casual conversation with Jia Lian, Jia Qing turned around and left the East Courtyard.

In the small building behind Mrs. Wang's courtyard, in Tanchun's room, Yingchun was playing chess with her.

Xichun sat on the sidelines and watched, but she raised her head and looked out the window from time to time, showing that she was absent-minded at the moment.

Yingchun gave birth to a child, and when Tanchun was thinking, he happened to see Xichun raise his head and look towards the gate of the courtyard again.
It's going to be dark soon.

"Fourth sister, your brother probably hasn't finished his work at the moment, so you can't see it just by looking at it like this."

Hearing Yingchun's voice, Xichun blushed and looked down at the chess again.

Tanchun laughed and said, "Second elder brother said that he would take her back to eat delicious food today, how could she have the heart to watch us play chess, ho ho."

Xichun let out a dissatisfied "Yes", and leaned on Yingchun, acting like a baby.

"The second master is here."

Hearing this voice, Xichun shook her spirits and stood up all of a sudden.

Sure enough, a slender figure walking quickly in the yard, who is it but Jia Qing?
So Xichun didn't care about Tanchun's laughter and walked directly to the door.
As soon as Jia Qing entered the door, she saw Xichun waiting at the door, her smile burst into bloom, she hugged her very naturally, let her sit on the crook of her hand, and walked into the room.

"Second sister, third sister, you are playing chess."

After entering the room, seeing Yingchun and Xichun both standing beside the chess table, Jia Qinglang said.

Tanchun said: "Yes. We thought you wouldn't come today. I was just thinking about how to comfort my fourth sister. She has been looking forward to you all afternoon."

Jia Qing's heart skipped a beat.He was about to leave the Rongguo Mansion just now, when he suddenly remembered that he said in the afternoon that he would take Xichun to stay for one night tonight, fortunately he remembered, otherwise this little girl might be so disappointed.

"Hehe, my younger sister is naturally looking forward to me. Why don't the second sister and the third younger sister go there together, and I will send a car to take you over later?"

Xichun is his biological younger sister and the eldest lady of Ningguo Mansion, so it's no problem for Jia Qing to take her back to live.Yingchun and Tanchun are different. They are the young ladies of Rongguo Mansion. It is not easy to live in Ningguo Mansion when the elders are present.

If it is a boy, there is no such concern.

"It's so late, we won't go." Yingchun said.

"Hehe, didn't the second elder brother say that he was going to make something delicious for the fourth sister tonight? Let's go there now, so why don't the fourth sister think that we are competing with her for food?"

Tanchun said with a smile.

Xichun was very generous: "It's okay third sister, you and second sister can come with us."

"My sister is so good, I know that I invited my sisters to play at home." Jia Qing tilted his head and praised Xi Chun, and then said to Tan Chun and the two: "Just listen to Xi Chun, at worst, I will send you back when it is later. "

Because of the construction of the Grand View Garden, there is no passage between the two prefectures, otherwise it would not be so troublesome.

"Why is this so? It's not that I haven't been to your place before. Why do you have to go there now? You can take the fourth sister with you. After I have dinner with the second sister, I still want to go to see sister Lin to play. Don't Delaying us here."

After hearing Jia Qing's words, Yingchun was a little moved and looked at Tanchun.Tanchun was very assertive, and after he finished speaking, he grabbed Jia Qing's other arm and told him to leave quickly.

So Jia Qing didn't say any more, still hugged Xichun, and went out.

"Brother, wait until you get into the painting."

Jia Qing turned her head and looked at the little maid who was a little behind but followed her hard into the painting.

Ruhua is not much older than Xichun, she is a personal girl specially selected by the mansion for Xichun.

Seeing the girl in the painting who had managed to catch up with her and was still out of breath, Jia Qing said dissatisfiedly: "You should exercise hard, with your small body, how can you protect the fourth girl?"

"This" is at a loss for words, and I don't know how to answer.

"Giggle."

Sitting in Jia Qing's arms, Xichun couldn't help laughing.

Jia Qing also smiled, and suddenly said: "Forget it, if you want to protect the fourth younger sister, she must not be bullied to death! Someday I will find her a fierce girl like Si Qi. Now, how about you Come up too, and I'll carry you away too?"

As Jia Qing said, he stretched out his hand towards Ru Hua.She was so frightened that she quickly backed away, her braided head shaking like a rattle.

"Brother, don't bully Ruhua!" Seeing that Ruhua was bluffed by Jia Qing, Xichun offered her help.

Jia Qing withdrew her hand, turned her head to look at Xichun who was sitting in her arms with a bright smile on her face, and smiled in her heart.Finally, Xichun's temperament no longer has a trace of coldness, but has become innocent and tender, isn't this exactly what I want to change?

Thinking of this, Jia Qing was also in a good mood, couldn't help but raised his head and kissed Xichun's red face, and said: "Okay, I will listen to my sister and don't bully her. My sister has really grown up, you know Protect your own people, even I am not allowed to bully, ha ha."

Xichun didn't expect Jia Qing to kiss her at all, she stretched out her hand to cover the place where she was kissed, and looked at Jia Qing with a blushing face.It's just that Jia Qing didn't look at her anymore, and continued to walk quickly outside the mansion.
