Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 143 The Unclean Ningguo Mansion

The world is impermanent!

Let's say that Grandma Zhu was crying with Youshi, the tears were pouring like rain from the eaves, and her eyes were almost covered with crystal clear tears.

There was some movement in the room, and Li Wan comforted his sister-in-law You Shi while looking up.I saw a hazy figure, and when he approached, I was stunned for a while.

The court judge hadn't seen the face of the visitor clearly, but the grievance in his heart became more and more violent, and all turned into teardrops that couldn't stop falling.

Seeing the crowd crying in the room, Qin Zhong didn't know what to say.Youyou and Youshi said their condolences, and glanced at Li Wan who was dazed with tears in his eyes, but he didn't feel much in his heart.

Li Gongcai finally saw Qin Zhong's face clearly, and it was even more unpleasant for a while.

The atmosphere in one corner is the most contagious.

Qin Zhong's mood became melancholy for some reason, and he went to Mrs. Wang's side, but did not ask An, only to hear Xing and Wang recite Jia Zhen's good news with tears in their eyes.

Listening to this, Mrs. You's expression became even sadder.The second and third sisters of the You family also hummed in unison.

Only Xia Jingui, Rong's daughter-in-law next to Youshi, had a strange expression on her face, covering her face and crying, while watching Qin Zhong with her eyes.

At that time, Wang Xifeng waved to Qin Zhong and asked, "Have your master and sister come?"

Qin Zhong replied: "Master asked Erye Qiong and the others to take it away. My sister is not fit to go out these few days, but she didn't come."

Wang Xifeng nodded, heard that Qin Keqing hadn't come and didn't ask any more questions, and went to appease the two wives, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.

Just in time, the sound of singing and drinking came from outside.It turned out to be the wife of Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding, who came with her niece Shi Xiangyun.Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Sister Feng all hurriedly talked to the members of You's family, and hurried out of the room to meet them.

Sister Feng left a message to Qin Zhong: "You and Baoyu go to the next door and stay, don't run around."

Qin Zhong nodded.Baoyu also looked sad.

Afterwards, the singing and singing continued, and the Marquis of Jinxiang, Chuanning, Shoushanbo and other marquises all came to mourn.The sound of drum music resounded through Huifang Garden in Ningguo Mansion.

After Qin Zhong came in, he looked like a forgotten person, no one asked about him.Not only Qin Zhong, but also Jia Baoyu.

When Xue Pan came to hang, Qin Zhong and Baoyu were called out by the servant girl, and went to Dengxian Pavilion to talk with Xue Pan and others.Coincidentally, at this time, Jia Zheng and Jia She had gone to discuss matters with the elders and children of each house of Jia's family.

Jia Rong looked bleak and stood alone here.When Brother Rong saw Qin Zhong, his face became more lively, but there was a trace of confusion in his brows.

"The two masters have settled everything?!" Qin Zhong said.

Jia Rong nodded slightly, the letters to each family have been sent, and the affairs of the clan have also been discussed by Jia Zheng and Jia She, together with the elders of the clan.But there was one thing in his heart that he couldn't let go of, and he said worriedly: "In the past, the master was in charge of the family. Now that such a big event has happened, I am afraid that I will not be able to support it alone. I am also afraid that the order of each family will come and go, and others will laugh at me due to lack of etiquette. "

Qin Zhong asked, "Second Brother Lian, isn't he here?"

Jia Rong suddenly showed a strange expression, and Baoyu pursed her lips.

Only then did he remember that Jia Lian had sent Lin Daiyu back to Yangzhou.In Ningrong and Rongfu, the only man who can do some practical things is really not in Shenjing City.

No wonder Jia Rong didn't know what to do!
Qin Zhong asked again: "The two masters didn't say who to host?"

Jia Rong said: "To preside over the matter, the masters, uncles, and brothers and sisters of each house can help. My wife has just fainted from crying, and my daughter-in-law has lost her mind. Those orders are still sent to entertain."

Jia Baoyu said: "What's so difficult about it? It depends on the size of the matter, or the order of each family. As long as she comes, she will take care of it."

When Qin Zhong heard this, his brows jumped up.Good guy, Baoyu doesn't want to invite Wang Xifeng again? !

Jia Rong asked hurriedly, "Who is it?"

Baoyu really told Sister Feng directly.Jia Rong's face was also happy, and she said anxiously: "I'm going to invite my aunt!"

Damn it!
I still feel sorry for Wang Xifeng's little girl, Jia Baoyu knows how to be annoying.

Qin Zhong cursed secretly in his heart, but he couldn't do anything better.There are indeed not many people in Ningrong and Rongfu who can take care of things, and if you count carefully, there are only two people, You Shi and Wang Xifeng.But Youshi fainted from crying at this moment, and Sister Feng was the best candidate.

Can't we call Grandma Zhu, Li Wan?Although Jia Rong's daughter-in-law Xia Jingui is also good, Xia Jingui's daughter-in-law may not be willing to worry about it.

Qin Zhong thought so, so he had no choice but to let them go.

Just read: Wang Xifeng is tired, so...

In the future, give Sister Feng a good massage, massage and massage!
Sure enough, on the second day, Wang Xifeng got the job.On the one hand, he asked someone to make a book, and on the other hand, it was passed on that Lai Sheng's daughter-in-law wanted the roster of Ningguo Mansion.It will also be reported that the daughter-in-law of the Qi family will be an servant in the mansion early tomorrow morning.I probably ordered a few booklets, asked Lai Sheng's wife a few words, and then drove home.

At the second moment of Maozheng the next day, he came over.The wives and daughters-in-law in the Ningguo Mansion have already arrived. Seeing that Sister Feng and Lai Sheng's daughter-in-law have assigned deacons, they dare not enter without permission and inquire outside the window.I heard Sister Feng and Lai Sheng's daughter-in-law say: "Since I have been entrusted to you, I can't say that I won't offend you. I can't compare with your grandma's good nature, and you can leave everything to you. Don't say that you're like this in this house." If you say it, you have to do what I say now. If you make me a little bit wrong, it doesn't matter who has face and who has no face, and you will be dealt with innocently."

Wang Xifeng respects the order and will not describe it any more.No one dared to disobey the Ningguo Mansion governed by it, she was very proud of it!

But Qin Zhong also lived in Rongguo Mansion for a few days, which was really boring.From time to time, I just walked to Huifang Garden in the cold wind, and occasionally looked at the majesty of Wang Xifeng under the strict rule.

One day, after eating, Qin Zhong went alone in Huifang Garden to enjoy the snow, and unexpectedly saw plum blossoms swaying on the top of a mountain.

He was curious to go up the mountain there, and he approached the secluded path before entering the mountain, but he heard some movement in the house at the foot of the mountain.When I approached and listened, it was actually the words of whimpering, crying and laughing.

Qin Zhong frowned and took a closer look, there were white stripes in the room, one was a young servant whom he had never seen before, and the other was a concubine from Ningfu who was wearing white.

"..."

Are you really not afraid of freezing? !
Qin Zhong hesitated for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile and walked quietly into the mountains.There are also houses and pavilions on the mountain, and the scenery is actually unique.Looking down, I saw a vast expanse of whiteness in Huifang Garden, and only heard the sound of drums and music.

The plum blossoms in the mountains are the only other color in the whiteness.

"Uncle Qin?"

The faint female voice suddenly sounded, startling Qin Zhong.

He hurriedly turned around and saw a nun standing timidly under the wintersweet tree.

Besides the wise son of Shuiyuean, who else could there be?

What a fucking fate!
Qin Zhong smiled wryly, he never thought that he would meet Chih-chier by chance in this secluded mountain forest, is it really the fetters of heaven that he cannot escape?

I saw that this smart boy was born charming, and there was even a hint of joy in his eyes.

He nodded slightly and asked, "Why are you here alone?"

Zhi'er said awkwardly: "I don't know why I came here in a daze. I saw flowers on the mountain, so I was curious to climb up."

Qin Zhong didn't ask any more questions.It's too remote here, and I met Zhizhi'er alone again, and I felt a strange feeling in my heart.He didn't want to stay any longer, at least he didn't want to be alone with Smarter.

He sighed and said, "Coincidentally, I only came up when I saw the flowers. It's a pity that after a few glances, I don't think so."

Smarter asked nervously, "Uncle Qin is leaving?"

In this cold weather, if it was not because of boredom, Qin Zhong would not run around.Who told Wang Xifeng to be busy with the affairs of the Ningguo Mansion these days, and Li Wan and others often accompanied the female relatives who came and went.

Needless to say, the other girls were never seen.He also wanted to go to Lixiangyuan for a walk before, but the mother and daughter of the Xue family also accompanied Mrs. Wang.As for Xue Pan, this guy actually took advantage of this opportunity to have fun with the prince's children who came and went.

Qin Zhong replied: "Yes. It's getting late, it's time to go back."

After hearing this, Zhizhi'er hesitated to speak, and when he saw that Qin Zhong really went down, he sighed quietly to himself.

Zhi'er also went down the mountain step by step, but when he reached the winding path, he saw a young woman slipping out of a secluded place with a rosy face.When Zhi'er saw her, he didn't know what to think of in his mind, and his face turned red.

The woman took a look at Zhizhi'er and ran away in a hurry.

Zhi'er also felt uncomfortable, and left here quickly.

At this time, Qin Zhong had already returned to Dengxian Pavilion, wandered around to meet Jia Rong, said hello, and returned to Rongguo Mansion.He planned to return to Qinghe Town tomorrow, and come back on the day of the funeral.

"Uncle Zhong, please stop." A little girl hurriedly caught up and said, "Our grandma asked Uncle Zhong to come over."

"Who is your grandma?"

Qin Zhong was puzzled.There are quite a few grandmas in Ningguo Mansion, which one are you talking about?

The little maid replied: "Grandma Xiao Rong, if you have something to ask Uncle Zhong, please come with your servant."

Xia Jingui?
What's the matter with her? !

Qin Zhong knew that Wang Xifeng was so busy these days that his feet never stopped. Although Xia Jingui did not hide, he only occasionally followed Wang Xifeng to show his face.

"Where is she now?" Qin Zhong asked.

It turns out that Dengxiang Pavilion, Tianxiang Tower, Doufengxuan and other buildings in Huifang Garden of Ningguo Mansion are connected together.Most of the male guests go to Doufeng Pavilion to talk, while the female relatives go to Tianxiang Tower.Just now when Qin Zhong came out of the Dengxian Pavilion, he was spotted by Xia Jingui who was upstairs in the Tianxiang Tower.

At that time, Jingui was saying goodbye to the female relatives of the various families, and feeling inexplicably hot in her heart, she hurriedly called the servant girl down to invite Qin Zhong.

At the moment, Xia Jingui asked Baochan to tidy up his clothes meticulously, and made his plain white body appear a different style.

This was not enough, I walked around the room for a while, and found a spacious place to lean on.After closing his eyes a little bit twice, clear tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, really pitiful.

Mouth asked:

"Has he come? Where has he been? Has he gone upstairs?"

When Xia Jingui got the news that Qin Zhong was going upstairs, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and he hastily put on sadness again.

Qin Zhong went up to the Tianxiang Tower slowly with a feeling of sleepiness.After entering the side room upstairs, I heard Xia Jingui humming worriedly inside: "What should I do, what should I do!"

"..."

What is there to worry about?

Qin Zhong was puzzled and walked into the room. "Grandma called me over..."

"Uncle..."

Xia Jingui shouted suddenly, and the white fox on the snow-capped mountain turned into a white light and rushed directly. "Uncle, what should we do!"

This……

Qin Zhong felt warm all over his body, and Xia Jingui hugged him around his waist. "Grandma, don't get excited, just say what you have to say! Don't let the maids see the joke."

Xia Jinguifang let go slowly, glanced at the room, and called back the maid who had led Qin Zhong the way just now.Only Baochan, who Jia Rong took into the room, was left here as a companion.

Jingui still took his hand and said eagerly: "The Ning Mansion is in such a catastrophe, uncle will definitely give me... advice to Uncle Rong!"

"Let's talk about what kind of thing it is first?" Qin Zhong really couldn't stand Xia Jingui's way of doing things.

He found a place to sit down, and told Xia Jingui to sit down as well.

Jingui was holding the silk in her hand, humming and sat down next to him.Slowly said: "Everyone says that uncle is the best way. Uncle Rong and I treat uncle like a real brother. Uncle must help Ningguo Mansion this time."

Qin Zhong frowned.

If it wasn't for Jia Rong's face...

Ugh……

After careful questioning, he found out that what Xia Jingui was talking about was actually about the Jia family.Originally, after Jia Zhen's illness, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and Jia Rong took care of most of the Jia family.Now that Jia Zhen is gone, Jia Zheng has taken care of the family affairs.

Jingui cried: "In the future, the position of the patriarch will be in the west?"

"Don't worry. I know who the second master is in the bottom of my heart. If it wasn't for Uncle Zhen's ascension to immortality, he might not be willing to take care of these things. There are so many acres and temples in your family, and it's almost the end of the year. The second master should ask, Otherwise, those people are secretly playing tricks outside, and the two governments may not know about it."

As Qin Zhong said this, Xia Jingui's face became even more sad.

Even Jingui's body was about to fall into Qin Zhong's arms, and the sounds of grievances kept coming.

Jin Gui said: "Of course I know these truths. But... today I heard what the family members of the clan said, that the second grandpa in the west has arranged all the places for their relatives, and the children and grandchildren in the east have not made much money. Great location."

This kind of thing cannot be said.

The population of Ningguo Mansion was already withered, not only was there no direct faction in Ningguo Mansion, even the offshoots were not as prosperous as Rongguo Mansion.Now, only Jia Qiong, Jia Chen, and Jia Qin are able to handle affairs in the lineage of Ningguo Mansion.

However, these people are also deceitful and only care about their own happiness.

Qin Zhong secretly pushed Jingui, but found that he couldn't push it away.Reluctantly said: "These are the affairs of the clan, and it's hard for me as an outsider to say. However, since it is a matter of the clan, who should get the benefits, and it's not up to whoever alone decides. Since the second master has arranged it like this, presumably It has been discussed with all the houses in the clan. You guard the Ningguo Mansion, and you don’t lack the points in the clan, so don’t worry about it.”

When Xia Jingui heard this, she felt even more aggrieved.

"Uncle, it's just that I'm thinking about those low-level things. Our Xia family is richer than there if you just scan it. It's just... the west is bullying us because of our seniority!"

In a word.

Jingui actually put her head down and lay on Qin Zhong's lap.Crying, weeping, convulsions...
