Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 175
Li Wan was never an absent person, even though she didn't speak much on many occasions, she was always present in Rongguo Mansion whenever there was a banquet.

It's not because of how important her position in Rongguo Mansion is, it's just that she lacks a reason to shirk.In addition to her status as a widow, wives, grandmas and even girls all want to call her up for any business in the house.

No one would like to be left to slight the widow's disgraceful gossip.

Li Wan, the widow, was also the same. Being chaste and understanding the rules was her greatest dignity in the Rongguo Mansion.It is also because of maintaining this decency that Li Wan's mood at this moment is more complicated than anyone else's.

Seeing Qin Zhong's fiery eyes, her heart couldn't help beating like a panic.Not daring to look directly at him, he took two steps back and whispered softly, "Is Uncle here to call Lan'er? He'll come out soon."

When Qin Zhong saw that there was no one around, and Li Wan was only accompanied by Suyun and Biyue who were close to him, his mind immediately became active.Feeling that the state at this time was a bit like what Xia Jingui said, his eyes became hotter for a moment, and he moved towards Li Wan with his steps.

"Today's court judge is more beautiful than before."

There was a soft sound.

When Li Wan's expression was panicked, Qin Zhong embraced the panicked Li Wan's slender waist in an instant with the gesture of lightning, and his two lips immediately took up the plain red lips.

This time, it was no less tricky than before, but followed Xia Jingui's words and sucked his upper lip first.

Li Wan struggled for two or three breaths, and then stopped moving.Qin Zhong was overjoyed, and verified what Xia Jingui said, so he wanted to do whatever he wanted.

Suyun and Biyue opened their eyes wide, looking around anxiously and helplessly, and blamed them for having the audacity to kiss outside.

Li Wan's body softened, and seeing Qin Zhong not stopping breathing, he anxiously grabbed Qin Zhong's body with both hands.When Qin Zhong let go, he hastily took two steps back, half-joyed, half-concerned and resentful: "Is that why uncle treats me so lightly?"

Qin Zhong still wanted to go forward to hold Li Wan's hand, but seeing Jia Lan coming out of the hall, Fang hurriedly withdrew his hand.Answering the wrong question: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law."

Li Wan also saw Jia Lan, and his expression changed after that.

Hearing the word 'you Lao', I suddenly remembered the feeling in the morning, and couldn't help but give Qin Zhong a guilty look.

Whoever said that there is no desire in a woman's heart, who said that the life of a wealthy widow is easy.She pretended to be calm and showed a little helpless sternness to Qin Zhong, said "I'll go first", and led Suyun and Biyue to leave quickly as if fleeing.

Qin Zhong looked at Li Wan's back with regret, and when he turned his head to look at Jia Lan, he thought helplessly: Why are you coming out in such a hurry, kid?Bad thing about your dad.

"Lan'er, let's go there quickly, don't catch cold on the road."

Jia Lan put away his slightly suspicious eyes, nodded his head lightly, and said nothing.

Today's noon banquet is not as lively as yesterday's, because Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Jia She, Jia Zheng and others did not come, so Qin Zhong and the others got a chance to meet Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and girls. We eat at the same table.

No accident happened during the lunch break.

Wang Xifeng was still as usual, full of energy, connecting the audience.Li Wan's expression was deep and preoccupied.However, there was one abnormal person in the room, and that was Tanchun's younger brother Jia Huan.

This handsome young man with a wretched temperament is actually much more enthusiastic than before.

Apart from Jia Huan, only Xia Jingui was left with erratic eyes and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up into a half-smile.

Maybe Wang Xifeng hadn't gotten enough sleep yet, so after eating hastily, he sent everyone to play separately, and agreed to have another big drink in the evening.

Qin Zhong thought that he had to go to Lixiangyuan later, so he could only watch Li Wan bring Jia Lan back.

At this time, Xia Jingui showed a playful look on his face.

Something interesting!
Jin Gui was going to talk to Youshi staying at Wang Xifeng's side, but when Qin Zhong and Qin Keqing also left, they turned their eyes and led Baochan and Xiao She'er out of the door after Qin Zhong.

She went to play with Grandma Zhu and the group of little aunts.

The brothers and sisters of the Qin family went back to their room first. Qin Zhong, who hadn't had enough sleep yesterday, was also a little sluggish by noon, and he regained his energy a little by sneaking a peek at Qin Keqing changing clothes.

Seeing Qin Keqing coming out of the green gauze closet, Qin Zhong said cheekily, "Why is sister looking at me like this?"

Qin Keqing glanced lightly, and said politely: "If I'm not around for a day, you'll be a wanderer. It's fine to be a jerk when you're in the Qin family, and you'll bully Yu Chuan'er like this in the Rongguo mansion, so I'm not afraid that others will find out."

That's what it meant!

Qin Zhong looked at Ke Qing's charming and half-annoyed look, and gently stroked her slender waist like a water snake. "It's not my sister's fault. It turns out that the time around the Chinese New Year has been making up for me. It's not that my sister doesn't know what I can do. Yesterday, my sister was away, so I haven't had the best time yet."

"Bah!" Qin Keqing's face turned red.Angrily said: "Thinking about these things all over your head, how can you look like a serious man."

Qin Zhong laughed dryly, isn't that what young people are like?It's not normal for a young man surrounded by so many beautiful women to have no thoughts in his heart.
Qin Keqing felt that dishonest hand and reached out to hit it. "I'm going to pay a visit to Xue's house, don't mess up my clothes, will you go or not?"

"go."

Why not.It was he who proposed to go to Xue's house to pay New Year's greetings, of course.

Seeing Keqing's suspicious eyes, Qin Zhong hurriedly explained: "Huh? Sister, don't misunderstand me. I went to Xue's house for no other reason. I just went to see Brother Xue Jiapan. I definitely didn't go to see Xue. The meaning of the big girl!"

But Qing said quietly: "Whether you go to see her or not has nothing to do with me. For some reason, Second Mistress Lian has helped us temporarily hide our affairs from the third girl. If you are really capable, you will still have sex with the Xue family." What happened to the eldest girl, someone else will come to clean up you in the future."

other people?

Are you referring to Tanchun?

Qin Zhong scoffed.Now I am starting to think of a way to subdue Tanchun. If something happens with Xue Baochai or Xue...cough cough...in the future, I will either not let Tanchun and others know, or tell Tanchun to accept it sincerely.

Qin Keqing didn't know what Qin Zhong had in mind, but the person she was talking about was not Tanchun, but the Second Mistress Lian in the yard next door.

The siblings said a few words and went to Xue's house.

The mother and daughter of the Xue family knew that Qin Keqing was coming, so they arranged food and wine on the kang in advance.On the contrary, Xue Pan, whom Qin Zhong used as a cover, 'coincidentally' was not at home, which made Qin Zhong secretly overjoyed.

In fact, Qin Zhong had heard from Xue Pan yesterday that Xue Pan's Qidi brother was playing with his temper because of being neglected these days.Xue Pan could only spare a day to have a long conversation with his brother.

Let's say that the brothers and sisters of the Qin family have already entered Xue's house, and they sat around drinking after a while.

But Li Wan sat with the girls for a while and said a few words, then he excused his illness and didn't want to go back to his room to rest.

Seeing her, Xia Jingui hurriedly said enthusiastically, "I'll take Auntie there."

Jin Gui's acting skills are really good, except for Qin Zhong and Wang Xifeng who know her deeds in Ningguo Mansion, how can Li Wan and other nosy people know about them.Seeing how enthusiastic the niece and daughter-in-law of the East Mansion were, Gong Cai had no reason to refuse.

Xia Jingui came to the room with Li Wan, looked at the furnishings in the room, and then started to fight for Li Wan.

While talking, Jin Gui observed Li Wan's expression, "The Rites teach that 'men have the right to remarry, but women have no right to be second." It really hurt a lot of people. Staying alone in this deserted empty room every day. Really..."

Li Wan pretended to be calm and took the book back.

Xia Jingui decided something, and pretended to be a simple and harmless little white rabbit, and said with a smile: "These words are all nonsense that I have lost my mind for a while, so don't blame me, auntie."

After finishing speaking, he sighed again.

"I'm not worth it for my aunt."

Let's say that in Lixiangyuan, the four of them drank not long after, and the warm wine that Aunt Xue had prepared in advance was poured into their stomachs.Maybe Qin Zhong drank too much yesterday and couldn't get a full night's sleep at night, so now his eyes couldn't help but close, and he nodded his head accordingly.

Seeing his appearance, Aunt Xue had a gentle look on her face, and said slowly: "Don't bother him, just ask him to sleep on this kang for a while."

"No." Qin Zhong pulled himself up suddenly, muttering these two words, he dozed off again.But his hands somehow wrapped around Aunt Xue's waist, and her soft waist was tightly wrapped around her.

"Auntie, don't go, sisters don't go either. Let's talk again." He was playing with his temper like a child.

Aunt Xue's body was secretly a little stiff, and she couldn't move at all.When Qin Zhong's head unexpectedly fell on his aunt's lap, the room was suddenly quiet for a moment.

"This child..." Aunt Xue murmured with a forced smile, with a little embarrassment on her face, and replied: "Okay, we won't leave, we will stay here with you."

Seeing Qin Zhong nodding his head, he actually fell asleep.

Aunt Xue's heart softened inexplicably, she stretched out her hand to stroke Qin Zhong's temples, and said to Qin Keqing gently: "How much did he drink yesterday? He must have suffered a lot during the night."

He suffers?
Yu Chuan'er really suffered a great crime following him.

Qin Keqing was not easy to dismantle, so when she saw a maid brought a quilt, she carefully covered it for Qin Zhong.At the same time, I also felt a little bit of resentment in my heart, so why did I come here with such a lack of energy?He doesn't think about his body at all.

Although Aunt Xue is young, she is only in her 30s now.But the gentleness on Aunt Xue's face is something ordinary women can't learn, at least young girls can't learn it, even Qin Keqing, who is also known for her gentleness, can't learn it.

Perhaps because of Qin Zhong and Tan Chun's engagement, Auntie is more friendly today than usual.Seeing the sullen look in Keqing's eyes, she smiled lightly and said, "It's not easy for this child, and it's hard for anyone to help him along the way. Now that he's engaged to the third girl, what will happen in the future? Nobody knows yet."

Dazed Qin Zhong felt very comfortable being caressed, and moved his head to Aunt Xue's lap, but Aunt Xue didn't say anything.

Qin Keqing is not used to seeing Qin Zhong being so intimate with others outside, even if the other party is a woman who is more than ten years older than Qin Zhong and of a different generation, she still feels very uncomfortable. "I've always had a dilemma in my heart, and I want to ask my aunt for advice." Ke Qing wanted to be careful, and asked Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to talk inside, so as not to let this bastard sleep on someone else's lap.

"What's the matter?" Aunt asked.

Qin Keqing glanced at Qin Zhong lightly, and said, "It's not convenient to talk about it here."

Therefore, Aunt Xue gently lifted Qin Zhong's head and put it down, leading Qin Keqing and Xue Baochai into the room, leaving Xiang Ling and other servant girls to look after the sleeping Qin Zhong.

Qin Keqing didn't think of many things, it was nothing more than inquiring about Mrs. Wang's hobbies and interests, and some things that the Qin family should pay attention to later.As Mrs. Wang's direct sister, Aunt Xue returned these to her one by one.

He laughed again: "I don't know more about it. Feng girl knows better than me. You can ask Feng girl more in the future. She is the most enthusiastic and will definitely help you."

Lian's second grandma is indeed warm-hearted.

Jing Qing has a deep understanding.

Ke Qing sighed secretly, since that day, there seemed to be a barrier between her and Second Grandma Lian, and she could no longer say whatever she wanted.

In addition, Qin Zhong woke up after lying on the kang for more than half an hour, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xue Baochai looking at him curiously.

When I woke up, I saw a beautiful face, and my heart couldn't help but jump twice.

Xue Baochai didn't expect it, and when she took a closer look curiously, she was caught straight, and her face turned red involuntarily. "Why is Qingqing looking at me like this?"

"Why is Sister Bao looking at me like this again?" Qin Zhong thought that Baochai liked him, and asked secretly proudly.

Baochai frowned slightly, and replied, "I'm just looking at the faint traces of rouge on the corners of Jingqing's mouth."

What?
Fuck? !There is such a thing?
Qin Zhong felt a little flustered and hurriedly wiped his mouth indiscriminately.

Seeing his clumsy appearance, Xue Baochai took out a handkerchief and said politely, "Couldn't Ching Qing follow Baoyu's example and steal the rouge from that maid's mouth? You still have to clean up the traces of this kind of thing, and it's not good for the third sister to see it." .”

Qin Zhong sneered and denied it: "Sister Bao is talking nonsense, I don't admit it."

Xue Baochai sat down firmly and said, "Do you see any traces on the handkerchief?"

There are traces, but things cannot be recognized.

Seeing his nervousness, Xue Baochai couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you worried that I won't be able to sue the third sister? As men, you will inevitably have some thoughts. You can mess around with flowers and grass outside, but you can play tricks with the maids inside the house." Whatever it is, just pay more attention. It’s not a big deal at all.”

Ok?
Is this not a big deal?
Little Nizi Baochai's thoughts are really different from others.

Xue Baochai caught his surprised eyes instantly.

"Don't really mess around just because I said that. I don't know if the third girl will care." Xue Baochai was about to return the handkerchief in Qin Zhong's hand, and said delicately: "Jingqing At this age, you still have to focus on your future, and if you have a future, are you afraid that there will be nothing else?"

Baochai also felt a pang of regret.Although she only has a good impression of Qin Zhong, and also admires Qin Zhong's studious and motivated nature, it's a pity...
