dream of red mansion

Chapter 544 Killing the Qin Family

Aunt Zhong went back first, and Lin Ruhai and Jia Qing entered Ningguo Mansion together.

Chen Shou is still waiting in the mansion.

Because Chen Shou and Lin Ruhai wanted to reminisce about the old days, Jia Qing arranged for them to drink tea in the small garden near Ning'an Hall and serve them personally.

It can be seen that the friendship between the two is very deep, and Chen Shou's words are very respectful to Lin Ruhai.

Jia Qing was thinking, if this Chen Shouzhen is as amazingly talented as Lin Ruhai said, then he must be quite arrogant.Even if the two are friends and Lin Ruhai is a high-ranking official, at least the two of them should talk about each other on an equal footing.

Looking at the current situation, there is only one reasonable explanation, and that is: Lin Ruhai is kind to Chen Shou!

The ancients valued righteousness, if this is the case, it makes sense.

Thinking of this incident, just in time to see Lin Ruhai asking about Chen Shou's itinerary, he interjected, "I heard that the Taoist priest has great talent, and now my adoptive father has obeyed the holy order to enter the capital, and he will be involved in the quagmire of the capital. Taoist priest Since you are worthy of my adoptive father and brother, why not stay in the capital for a while, if there is something unresolved about my adoptive father, you can ask the Taoist priest for advice."

Chen Shou frowned.

Lin Ruhai knew Chen Shou's personality well, and even guessed Jia Qing's abacus, so he smiled and said before Chen Shou could speak:

"You don't need to care about the childish words, I know that the elder has long since given up on worldly affairs and devoted himself to the Tao. Besides, we are mundane people, where can we have less disputes about right and wrong? If we always hope that others will help us, how can we live in this world?" A foothold between dunya?

Boss don't have to be in trouble, if it's because of me that he ruins his practice, isn't it my fault? "

Chen Shoudao: "Thank you, Brother Ruhai, for your righteousness. Having said that, I also have a message to give to Brother Ruhai."

"please say."

"When Brother Ruhai was helping me just now, I had quietly checked my pulse and my physical condition"

Lin Ruhai smiled: "Boss, you may as well speak up if you have something to say."

Chen Shoudao: "My brother is proficient in medical principles. My body has been suffering from chronic diseases for many years, and new injuries have triggered it. Brother takes care of me, there is still a period of recovery, if not."

Jia Qing was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Father..."

Lin Ruhai gave Jia Qing a calm look, and then said to Chen Shou: "Don't worry, Boss, I know my body well. Lin, who eats the king's salary, should be loyal to the king. Besides, my generation of scholars is still alive. You should do something, if you are doing nothing, mediocrity, even if you live another ten years, what good will it be?"

Chen Shou was silent for a while, and said with regret: "Since this is the case, I hope Brother Ruhai will cherish himself even more in the future."

He understood Lin Ruhai's perseverance in his heart, and he once had such a belief.

Jia Qing stood aside, Lin Ruhai stopped her when she wanted to speak a few times, thought for a while, and then stopped.

Lin Ruhai must be aware of his own physical condition.Since he went to Beijing, it meant that he had already made a decision and choice in his heart.

At this moment, Qin Keqing walked over with a maid, and he took two steps forward and said, "What are you doing here?"

Qin Keqing glanced at Lin Ruhai and the two from a distance, and then replied, "I heard that Master Lin has come to the house. In such a cold day, my mother-in-law is afraid that you will not take good care of me, so she asked me to bring some ginseng tea."

"You are bothered."

Jia Qing took the saucer from the servant girl's hand and said, "You go back first, I'll come to see you later."

If it's just Lin Ruhai, he can get Qin Keqing to recognize him, but it's unnecessary now.

Qin Keqing was overjoyed, her eyes dimmed, and said with a blessing: "The concubine will retire first."

"Well, let's go." Jia Qing turned around and came back, and said to Lin Ruhai, "Boy, make a bowl of ginseng tea for foster father and Daoist. Daoist Chen, what are you looking at?"

Jia Qing frowned.

Chen Shou, an old and unrefined person, actually looked at the direction Qin Keqing was leaving without turning his eyes.

Sven scum!

Chen Shou withdrew his gaze fiercely, squinted his eyes, shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Pindao suddenly remembered that there is something unfinished in Beijing. Brother Ruhai, Jia Linlang, let me leave first."

Before he finished speaking, he stood up and was about to walk away.

Although Lin Ruhai was a little confused, he also saw that there must be something really wrong with him, so he didn't try to persuade Jia Qing to send Chen Shou out.

"Chen Daoist, please."

Jia Qing got up to see him off, Chen Shou kept walking, and quickly walked out of the Yimen Gate, and stopped suddenly when he reached the hall, saying: "Dare to ask."

"Second Master, Second Master, it's not good, Jiao Da"

"what happened?"

"Jiao Da, he ate too much wine last night and passed out drunk in the stable. When he was found just now, he was already exhausted."

Jia Qing was taken aback.Jia Qing had long thought of transferring Jiao Da to Zhuangzi Shangqing to raise him. He is an old man in his 80s, who loves to drink and has a bad temper, so it is easy to cause trouble if he stays in the mansion.It's just that he insisted on not wanting to, so Jia Qing had no choice but to order the person in charge not to arrange errands for him. He likes to brush horses, so let him stay in Nanyuan.

In the past two years, he almost forgot about this person.

"Did you invite the doctor?"

"This is going to please."

Jia Qing pondered for a while, and said to Chen Shou: "It's an old servant in my family, I have to go and see, please forgive me if I'm disrespectful. Butler Lu, take Chen Daochang out for me."

People at this age may die if they say they die.After all, he is a person who has dedicated his whole life to the Ningguo Mansion. From the ancestors of the Jia family to him, he can be described as four generations of loyal servants. Jia Qing feels that it is necessary to see him for the last time.

"Jia Linlang doesn't need to be polite"

Jia Qing cupped his hands in thanks, and then stepped down the steps.

"Go to the streets of Gulou and invite Doctor Qian!"

"Yes."

Chen Shou looked at Jia Qing's hastily leaving figure and the servant who rushed out of the door before him, and frowned slightly. Can an old servant let the owner rush to see him off in person?
Also, that person just now really seems too similar.
At the stable in Nanyuan, there were already a dozen boys around, all looking at Jiao Da lying beside the haystack, discussing a lot.

"The second master is here."

Jia Qing walked up to the group of black and brown figures through the open opening, and took a breath.

Sure enough, he was already angry.

Jia Qing sighed, the face of the old man in front of him was full of the vicissitudes of time, with black and deep ravines criss-crossing his forehead, his face was sallow and pale.

He is over 80.In this era, it is already a rare longevity, and returning at this time can be regarded as the end of life.

But Jia Qing still sighed.The death of this old servant means that there is no one left of the first generation of old people who followed the Jia family.
Sadness appeared on Jia Qing's face, and when the servants around saw Jia Qing's appearance, their discussions disappeared for a while.

"brothers."

Xu Shi sensed Jia Qing's existence, and Jiao Da's hazy eyes, which had been tightly closed all along, opened unexpectedly.

Jia Qing replied: "Master Jiao, it's me. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can tell them now, and I will help you fulfill them."

He could tell that Jiao Da's life was really coming to an end, and he didn't want to waste any more time so that he could leave some last words.

Jiao Da shook his head with difficulty, and said, "You, call them all away, I have something to say to my brother."

The word "geer" comes from the elders calling the younger generation.Jiao Da never called Jia Qing like this before, and he called Jia Qing like this when he was about to die, which only shows that he always regarded Jia Qing as his junior in his heart.

Jia Qing gave a look, and all the servants beside him who heard the words dispersed and went their own way, only two stayed in the distance to obey orders.

"Grandpa Jiao, if you have anything to say, just say it." He was afraid that Jiao Da would not have enough energy, and he didn't want to make him regret.

Jiao Da was not in a hurry at all, instead he smiled at Jia Qing, showing his big yellow teeth, and said horribly: "Hehe. There is a brother who manages the foundation of the ancestors. I will go down to Jiao Da, and I will be able to report the good news to my grandfather. .ga.”

"Master Jiao, let's talk about your last wish first."

"Last wish? No. I don't have any last wish. I only have one thing to tell my brother. In his later years, the young master made a big mistake. If this matter is not resolved, sooner or later it will bring disaster to our Jia family. Remember. "

Jia Qing frowned.The young master in Jiao Da's mouth, if his guess is correct, is his grandfather, Duke Daihua.

He made a mistake?

"What exactly is it, Mr. Jiao, please tell me." Jia Qing's voice also became serious. If it is true, it involves ancestors, and it will never be a trivial matter.

"Cough cough-cough. I don't have much time, so I don't have time to talk to my brother in detail, cough cough-brother just needs to remember one thing"

"what's up?"

"Must kill Qin Shi."
