Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 109 Li Wan...

"Know what it is, know why it is, and know why to know why it is. Every detail has its reason and rule of rotation."

Qin Zhong spoke slowly.

His main energy is still on Jalan, and whether others are interested or not doesn't have much influence on him.

"From seed germination to flowering, from flowering to fruiting. They are undergoing changes that we cannot see with the naked eye every moment. What we want to understand is the reason why they change all the time. Why some melons and fruits taste sweet, why some The trees are bearing fruit. Why... Oden rouge rice is different in color and taste from other rices."

Qin Zhong suddenly brought the topic back to reality.Asked, "Is it just like that?"

Seeing that no one answered, he continued: "The color and taste of Yutian rouge rice are actually the same as us. Although we are all human, we all have a pair of eyes and a mouth. But some people's eyes are Double upper eyelids, some people have single eyelids. Some people are born with thick eyebrows, and some people are born with high forehead. These are all influenced by genetics."

In fact, it is not true to say so.

In addition to heredity and genetic variation, the dominant state is also affected by environmental variation.

Most of the variation caused by the environment is not heritable.The key point is whether there is any genetic material change.If the environment causes a change in genetic material, the mutated gene caused by the environment will be passed on from generation to generation.If it is just a simple individual variation, but the genetic gene has not changed, then only the individual will be mutated and the genes of the offspring will not be affected.

"Some people are sharp-tongued, and some people can't say a word for a long time. There is a difference." Lin Daiyu rarely said a word in front of Qin Zhong, but it sounded a bit like insulting someone.

Among the sisters, no one could take Daiyu's words well.

Qin Zhong responded dryly with a smile, and said: "This is a difference. But due to genetic influence, the main difference comes from the state of expression, such as a person's height, a person's curly hair, a person's eye color, and a person's hair color. If these differences are reflected in flowers and plants, then it is the difference in the color of the flowers, the size of the seeds, the number of fruits, and the height of the plants."

Jia Lan asked, "What's the use of knowing these differences?"

This is what Jalan is most concerned about.

What is the use?He came to study because he wanted to be useful.

Qin Zhongdao: "If there are two trees here, one is a peach tree, and the other is still a peach tree. One peach tree is full of branches every year, but the taste is worse; the other peach tree tastes very good, but only A few fruits. We know the principle, so if we combine the two trees, can we produce a new species that is both rich and delicious?"

Seeing Jia Lan pondering, Qin Zhong continued: "It's the same for peach trees, and it's the same for pear trees. The same is true for cucumbers and melons. The same can be done for wheat, barley, and rice."

Xue Baochai was not interested at first, but when he heard this, he suddenly thought of something.

She smiled and asked: "Is this the reason Jingqing got the official position?!"

Qin Zhong nodded.Why don't you admit it now?Let more people know that they have ways to increase production, the better.

He said: "Lang Geer followed me there. I just talked to the former servant of the household department about a way to increase corn production, and I used this principle. If you understand the root cause, other crops such as rice and wheat , sweet potatoes, etc. can increase production.”

hiss……

Others didn't quite understand the weight of these words, but Xue Baochai really understood.She took a long breath and asked jokingly: "Such a powerful thing, Jingqing just said it in front of us. What will you get for promotion in the future?"

Qin Zhong saw that Yingchun, Tanchun, and Daiyu all looked over in unison.

He chuckled and said, "I have long regarded my sisters and sisters as close relatives. What does it matter if I say this? Now I just tell you close relatives that I want to bring more apprentices in the future and let them To benefit the Great Chu and relieve the court's worries. At that time, rice, wheat, sweet potatoes, and sweet potato will all be abundant, and there will be no hunger in the world."

Lin Daiyu heard this, and hummed to Baoyu in a low voice: "Just like you, she is also a smooth-tongued and coaxing person."

Qin Zhong heard it, but pretended not to hear it.

Jia Baoyu replied softly with emotion: "Jingqing has great ambitions and has the world in mind. He does not coax others for the sake of flattery, nor for power and money. I am not as good as him. I used to feel that he was different, but now I am with you again. He compared, he is really auspicious cloud in the sky, but I am like mud in the ground."

After Daiyu heard this, she seemed to frown but not frown, her eyebrows were slightly tilted, and her pair of curved eyes looked at Qin Zhong curiously.

Daiyu thought to herself: "His spirit is indeed different from others."

Tanchun's bright eyes are also moving secretly at this moment, I don't know what he is thinking.He sighed faintly, and when he was slightly disappointed, he saw Xue Baochai's strange eyes looking at Qin Zhong from time to time.

[Jia Lan's favorability +13, Yangshou increased by 13 days (current favorability: 68)]

[Xue Baochai's favorability degree +13, Yangshou increased by 13 days (current favorability degree: 25)]

[Jia Tanchun's favorability degree +8, Yangshou increased by 8 days (current favorability degree: 30)]

[Lin Daiyu's favorability degree +5, Yangshou increased by 5 days (current favorability degree: 11)]

[Jia Yingchun's favorability degree +3, Yangshou increased by 3 days (current favorability degree: 13)]

Tanchun took a closer look, and couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.

When I heard what he said later, Tanchun couldn't fully listen to things like white flowers, red flowers, single eyelids, and double eyelids.

She just murmured in her heart: "That should be considered a kind of ambition?"

[Jia Baoyu's favorability degree +13, Yangshou increased by 13 days (current favorability degree: 55)]

After the lecture, Qin Zhong found that Baoyu's eyes were a little more profound than before.He couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Baoyu shook his head and sighed: "I haven't seen you for so many days, and I don't know you today. Thinking about Jingqing is now an official and has great ambitions in his heart, I'm afraid we won't be able to see you often in the future."

Can't be common?

How can it be!The Jia family is the best base for him to gain favorability, and he would come here to wander around from time to time.Besides, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and others are all daughters-in-law of Rongguo Mansion and Jia Baoyu's sister-in-law.

How could it be possible not to see you later?
Qin Zhong asked with a smile, "Don't tell me you don't want to see me anymore? Or do you think I'm just like everyone else, and I've become a beetle?"

Baoyu shook his head again and again, but stretched out his hand to carry it, saying: "Jingqing is different from them, completely different. After listening to your class today, I really feel that I am ugly."

Dude, this tall hat is well worn.

Qin Zhong looked at Baoyu with bent eyes, and asked with a smile: "How about you come and learn from me? You don't need to be a teacher, let's study together?"

Jia Baoyu shook his head immediately.

He is really not interested in this, and thinks that studying this is better than studying rouge and gouache.And these days, the relationship between him and Lin Daiyu can be said to be close.

If it hadn't been for the fact that he hadn't seen Qin Zhong for a long time, Baoyu would not have thought of joining in the fun today.

Seeing his refusal, Qin Zhong knew that this was the real precious jade.This guy always says one thing and does another, it's really...

Qin Zhong glanced left and right among the maidservants behind Baoyu, and saw some dignified and handsome ones.Because the two lived together in Jiamu's place before, they also knew Xiren, Sheyue and Qiuwen.

Needless to say, since Xiren was assigned to Baoyu's side, his heart is really tied to Baoyu.

pitiful!

Qin Zhong thought about it carefully, and if Baoyu went on like this, even if Jia's family would not be confiscated in the future.In Baoyu's life, it will be difficult to stand up in the future.Jia Zheng was originally the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion. Even if Yuanchun became a concubine in the future, Baoyu, the second wife of the second wife, would be an idler who would hardly be able to take charge of the family.

An idler does not seek to make progress, but wonders how it is possible to live a rich life.

Qin Zhong wanted to help.He really doesn't think Baoyu is so bad, and Baoyu can be regarded as his good friend, and Mrs. Wang treats him so kindly.

He really has no reason to entrap Baoyu, and he has no reason to refuse to save him.

At this moment, I really want to persuade Baoyu to make progress, at least with Baoyu's heart, he can't do anything bad, and it will be great to have many helpers around him in the future.

It's a pity that Jia Baoyu's ambition is not here, so Qin Zhong can only let go of this idea for the time being.

It is time, exactly at noon.

Wang Xifeng called Ping'er over and asked, "Second Mistress asked the kitchen to prepare a banquet, and she specially asked me to ask Uncle Zhong and all the girls and brothers, should we eat in the yard here at noon today or at Second Mistress's place?"

Qin Zhong has not yet opened his mouth.

Jia Baoyu was the most interested, and said, "Sister Feng has already prepared it? Let's eat here. It just so happens that the weather is nice today, we don't need to go into the house, how about drinking and having fun in this garden?"

"Jingqing hasn't spoken yet, so you should go ahead." Xue Baochai laughed back, remembering that the sisters of the Qin family had also come, and said, "You can stay in this garden if you want, our sisters are in the house, everyone. Let's sit apart."

Qin Zhong remembered Li Wan now, and asked Ping'er first, "Sister Ping, did you call Sister-in-law Zhu over?"

The two of them spoke secret words, but the girls were amazed that Qin Zhong and Heping were so close.

But quite a few people saw Qin Zhong and Heping'er holding hands, but the two of them looked very generous, only two of the girls had slightly strange expressions, and the others felt extremely normal.

Ping'er saw the girls' reactions from the corner of his eye, so he couldn't blame Qin Zhong for being intimate.Slowly replied: "I went to invite grandma. She said that she would not come if she was unwell today, and she just let us have fun with us. Therefore, grandma also thought in her heart, if you eat here, grandma and sister Qin's family will be happy." But come."

"Is sister-in-law unwell?"

Qin Zhong frowned.

Isn't it good in the morning?Does it matter?

He felt itchy in his heart and wanted to visit.But Li Wan was different from others, plus he was still a widow and next to the room of the three girls of the Jia family, there was really no reason for him to go in.

After thinking about it for a while, there was no way out, and finally said cheekily: "Is it okay? Maybe I got a cold wind in this garden this morning. I also know some medical principles, do you need..."

Ping'er laughed and said: "It's not that serious, she probably made an excuse because she didn't want to come and have fun. You can eat and drink here, and your sister will eat at grandma's."

Ok!

So lost.

Qin Zhong was sighing, seeing Jia Lan's embarrassed eyes.He was overjoyed suddenly in his heart, hurriedly called Lan Geer over, and said, "But you are worried about your mother?"

"Ok!"

"Why don't we go over and have a look?" Qin Zhong had an unspeakable idea in his heart. Seeing Jia Lan's hesitation, he said again: "Flowers and herbs are interlinked, and I understand some of them. If it's just a minor problem, find out as soon as possible." Only when the right medicine is prescribed can I feel at ease.”

Although Jia Lan felt a little inappropriate, she was worried about her mother.Thinking about it again, Qin Zhong is not considered an outsider, if he was really sick, he would have to ask the imperial physician to see him.

Lang Geer said bluntly: "I asked Uncle Zhong to give lectures, and asked Uncle Zhong to see the doctor again. Please trouble Uncle Zhong."

"Don't bother, don't bother." Qin Zhong grinned and shook his head with a smile,

He also asked Yu Chuan'er and Rui Zhu to tidy up the garden so that they could entertain the girls. He and Lange'er would go out for a while and return soon.

Jia Lan asked, "Why didn't Uncle Zhong tell you the real reason?"

Qin Zhong pulled Jia Lan quickly to the east, and said nonsense: "It doesn't matter if you are sick or not. You don't need to tell them about this meeting, lest they also worry about it. If you explain the reason, they will see us come over. Wouldn't the lively atmosphere dissipate?"

Jia Lan nodded half understanding.

The two arrived at the door in a short while.

At this time, Li Gongcai raised his hand and pulled back the curtain on the bed with exhaustion, and called Biyue to scoop up water.Unexpectedly, at this time, a maid from outside rushed in.

"Uncle Xiaolan and Uncle Zhong are here, and they said they want to ask grandma about her condition."

Li Gongcai, who was slumped against the head of the bed, blushed and turned pale again. "What are they doing? Waiting outside?"

The servant girl hurried back: "I'm waiting in the hallway, ready to go into the room to have a look."

"what?"

Come into the room?

Li Wan was taken aback.Is her room a man can enter?After listening to the servant girl's explanation, it turns out that Qin Zhong came here on purpose when he heard from Ping'er that she was unwell.

This will be really happy and anxious.

"Hurry up, tidy up the room." Li Gong sent the servant girl to pull up the curtains, and after everything was ready, he sent Suyun to call Qin Zhong and Jia Lan over.

Let's say Qin Zhong entered the room, only to find that this place is completely different from Wang Xifeng's place.Not only is this room not as important as Wang Xifeng's three small main rooms, but the furnishings inside are far less luxurious than Wang Xifeng's room.

The biggest difference is the inner bed.Li Wan's bed was of the same level as the canopy bed in the west wing of Qin's house where Qin Keqing lived, and it could not be called gorgeous and golden at all.

She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the second room of the Rongguo Mansion.

"Is sister-in-law safe?" Qin Zhong and Jia Lan hurriedly came to the bedside, but unfortunately the curtains obscured the scene inside, making it impossible to see the person on the bed.

Li Gongcai replied slowly: "It's okay, but I'm a little bit stuck, why did uncle come here?"

"I was worried, so I came here." As Qin Zhong said, he heard a slight cough on the bed, and changed his words: "Brother Lan is also nervous, just thinking that I understand a little bit, can my sister-in-law stretch out her hand?"
