Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 178 Jingui is free and full of love, and the palace tailor looks shy and shy②
Xia Jingui has long been living a life, and the number of seven and seven is coming soon, which means that the day when Jia Rong will bring Jia Zhen's memorial tablet back from Tiekan Temple has also arrived.

Originally, he thought that during the [-] or [-] days when Jia Rong was not in the mansion, he and Qin Zhong would be a matter of course.Unexpectedly, Qin Zhong came here at the beginning of the first lunar month, and never came again after that.

In fact, why did Qin Zhong not want to go to the city? It was never because of Xia Jingui, and he never even thought about her.The main reason is still wanting to meet Wang Xifeng and Li Wan, after all, there is an 'ambiguity', and I want to strike while the iron is hot.

Another reason is Xue Baochai's birthday.

However, the wind and smog has been too heavy for several days, and when it is the worst, no one can be seen in a few feet.Now that Xue Baochai's birthday has passed, and the Qin family's brother and sister have also asked someone to give a gift, they are not in a hurry to go to Shenjing City at the moment.

Qin Zhong has more important things to do now.

No matter when the wind and haze, the destructive power is amazing.The sand and dust sweeping from the northwest may not only overwhelm or overturn the simple houses of the farm, but may also fill up the canals.

The haze has a huge impact on agriculture, and the most serious thing is that it may bury the wheat that has overwintered and turned green in the fields.Even if the wheat is not hindered, the sand brought by the wind and haze covers the land, and the fertility of the land will be reduced a lot if there is too much sand.

At that time, not only the wheat harvest in the field will drop sharply, but other cultivation will also be affected.

Qin Zhong had never experienced wind and haze before, and these days he couldn't even breathe, so he could only huddle in a room with the doors and windows closed.Even if you go out to the farm, even in the carriage, you are fully armed with a veil and neck.

"God's disaster!"

As soon as Qin Zhong came back from the farm, the maids took the cloak he was wearing and knocked a lot of sand from it with a duster.

Ke Qing worriedly asked: "Is the situation outside okay?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. I've told the owners of the village that they will reduce their rent this year. There is no house collapse in the village, but some animals have been lost." Qin Zhong sighed softly.The city of Shenjing is so serious, I don't know what the northwest will look like.

Qin Keqing gently pulled him to sit down, and asked Baozhu to serve tea.After Qin Zhong finished drinking, he said: "Just talk to them, and make them feel more at ease. Our family will not lack this little money. The dowry that the master originally prepared for me is just enough to marry you." gone."

Qin Zhongteng got up, "What nonsense. The disaster in the village didn't have much impact on our family. Besides, even if you are poor, it belongs to whoever it should be. There is no reason to take away your dowry."

"What's the rush, let me speak slowly first." Qin Keqing took Qin Zhong's hand again, and said softly: "I have discussed it with the master in the past two days. Although it is too early to say this, the silver must be prepared first. After all, Jia's family is different from other families, they are the daughters-in-law of the Duke's mansion, we always want to make them more decent."

"If you want to be decent, you can't make your face swollen to make you fat. You can do as much money as you have." Qin Zhong shrugged and replied, seeing that Qin Keqing was still persistent, he said again: "If you have little money, you have little money." The solution. We are not like the Rongguo Mansion, so we don’t have to spend a lot of money. Even the money in the mansion, I want to divide it into several equal parts, and I will only take one part for the wedding in the future.”

Qin Keqing blushed tenderly, and hid her waist.With a sad face, he said: "I'm afraid that the third girl will give birth to the idea that the Qin family will covet her dowry in the future."

The gap between the two is objective, and the gap is obvious.No matter how prosperous the Qin family is, it is probably far inferior to Tanchun's generous dowry.This thing is impossible.

"Then you can't take away your dowry." Qin Zhong thought shamelessly, if Qin Keqing's dowry was embezzled, wouldn't the small treasury be gone in the future?I don't know what kind of temperament Tanchun will have in the future.He slowly said: "We have already made a decision, the money is exclusive to our husband and wife, and will not go into the public treasury at home."

"Bah, who are you and your husband?" Qin Keqing spat, without blushing but even more coquettish than blushing, she fell straight into Qin Zhong's arms.

Qin Zhong didn't know what was wrong with Keqing, but recently she was obviously more charming than before, and she always liked to cuddle up against her body.

But Qing's body gradually warmed up, Jiaojiao said: "The village has seen it, and the clan should also ask about it, and help the poor and difficult. The family farm and Yizhuang are also important, and these things should also be taken care of. Jing Qing went to take care of it. Although there are only a few families left in our clan, I was thinking about whether I should learn from others and build a free school in the clan. Although there is no elder in the clan who studies, even if I spend some money to hire one It is also good for the old boy to give enlightenment to the children of the clan."

Qin Zhong thought for a while, "Let's talk about this later, let's get down to business first, I'm thirsty."

"It's not dark yet."

……

On this day, Jia Rong, who had been staying in Tiekan Temple for 49 days, finally returned to Ningguo Mansion.

Although Jia Zhen's coffin has not been taken to Jinling for burial, Jia Zhen's tablet has been placed in the ancestral hall on the west side of Ningguo Mansion.After he paid homage to his ancestors in the ancestral hall, he breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed to the East Courtyard where he lived.

"I am back!"

Jia Rong yelled in her heart.He couldn't wait to see Xia Jingui, he wanted to see Baochan, he even wanted to meet...anyway, he wanted to meet a lot of people.

"Grandma is resting. She heard that the uncle came back, and asked the uncle to change his clothes and go to the wife to say hello before coming back." The little maid in the courtyard of the uncle Rong said.

Jia Rong's eyes glowed with hunger and thirst.

Does anyone know how he spent the forty or fifty days in Tiekan Temple?
do you know?
No one knows, only Jia Qiang knows.

Uncle Rong laughed and said, "I'll go see Grandma first." After speaking, he rushed into the room.

"Grandpa, don't disturb her. I just fell asleep, and I will be woken up, so I might be angry again." Baochan came out of the room suddenly, and hurriedly stopped Jia Rong.She knew that the eldest grandma didn't want to see this uncle at all, and she was even worried about why the uncle came back so early.

Seeing Baochan's delicate appearance, Jia Rong felt itchy.Grabbing her slender waist quickly, she asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"It's not because of the bad weather. My whole body is exhausted, and I can't sleep well at night. I sleep for a while and wake up for a while. I don't want to see anyone, and I don't want to say anything." Twisting her waist made Jia Rong even more angry.

Jia Rong blinked her eyes, thinking of Xia Jingui's majesty, she simply didn't enter the room.Whispered with Baochan, "I'll go to my wife's place to ask Ann to come back, and then I'll go to your room."

Baochan was overjoyed when he heard this, and was nodding his head triumphantly.

Xiao She'er also came out from the inner room, and said in a low voice: "Grandma said that since the uncle came back and forth, it would be good to live in the ancestral hall for the past few months, don't ask outsiders to say that the uncle is not filial."

It was like a basin of bone-piercing cold water was poured on the heads of Jia Rong and Baochan.

Jia Rong was stunned for a while, then she held Baochan in her arms and said softly: "Good Chan, I will wait for you in the clean room of the ancestral hall at night."

He really held back for a long time.

Although Baochan wanted to agree in his heart, he didn't dare.She secretly glanced at the curtain in the inner room, shook her head lightly, and replied, "Grandma ordered to talk to her tonight."

Jia Rong felt aggrieved in her heart, but it was not easy to get angry.He had no choice but to laugh dryly and said, "Then another day, I'll go to my wife's first." After finishing speaking, he changed his coat and hurried to You's courtyard.When meeting Youshi, it is inevitable to be asked some questions.

Jia Rong's mind was not focused on these things, she just looked around with a pair of eyes.After Youshi finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and asked, "Are the second and third aunts still at home?"

This is what Jia Rong wants to know the most.

Second Sister You and Third Sister You are really beauties.

"Why does Rong'er ask this?"

"The boy is thinking, since he is back, should he go to say hello to his aunts?"

Jia Rong's mind is full of the gentle appearance of Second Sister You and Third Sister You when they took care of Jia Zhen in the past, and their temperament is thousands of times better than Xia Jingui's.In addition to the relationship between Second Sister You, Third Sister You, You Shi and Jia Zhen, when I think of the beautiful appearance and graceful figure of Second Sister You and Third Sister You, I feel a special excitement in my heart.

Youshi politely said: "It's not necessary for them to go there. Rong'er only needs to go to the old lady in the west, and stay in the ancestral hall when she comes back. Your daughter-in-law has already packed a room for you there. In two months, I guarded the master and ancestors in the ancestral hall."

Ugh……

Jia Rong nodded obediently, feeling very regretful.Only after leaving You's courtyard, his eyes lit up again.He hurriedly asked someone to prepare the carriage, and went straight to Rongguo Mansion. First, he cried in front of the old lady Jia Mu. Before his red eyes recovered, he hurried to the yard of the second aunt Lian.

Before Jia Rong entered the yard, she saw a person poking his head furtively outside.

"Uncle Rui?"

"Rong'er is back? Hehe...I'm here to visit my second sister-in-law!" Jia Rui smiled sarcastically as if someone had caught her.

"Why doesn't Uncle Rui go in?" Jia Rong asked suspiciously.

Jia Rui replied awkwardly: "I invited a sister to report to my sister-in-law."

Oh ~
Jia Rong nodded, and sure enough, she saw a maid walking out of it. "Master Rui, come in." The maid saw Jia Rong again, so she invited Jia Rong in too.

However, Jia Rui sighed helplessly, and finally mustered up the courage to visit Lian's second sister-in-law, but unexpectedly met Jia Rong, such an idiot.He sneaked a sideways glance at Jia Rong, then entered the yard, and followed the servant girl to lead him to the main room.

After entering the room, Jia Rui opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at the beauties in the hall.For some reason, he felt that Second Mistress Lian was much brighter than when he met last year.

Jia Rong also had the same thoughts, but her eyes were more restrained than Jia Rui's.

Wang Xifeng frowned secretly, and calmly asked Ping'er to invite Jia Rui and Jia Rong to sit down, and let the maid serve tea.Quietly asked: "Uncle Rui is a rare visitor, but what's the matter?"

If Jia Rui could have anything important, he just thought that Jia Lian would not be at home for a long time after leaving Jiangnan, so he thought about mustering up the courage to come and see Wang Xifeng.

He said honestly: "During the Chinese New Year, I knew that my sister-in-law was very busy, so I didn't come to pay a visit to my sister-in-law, so I thought about coming here today to say hello to my sister-in-law."

Wang Xifeng grinned slightly, nodded, and smiled meaningfully: "It's rare that Uncle Rui has such a heart. There are not many people like Uncle Rui in such a big family."

When Jia Rui heard this, he thought it was an exaggeration, and his eyebrows almost went up.

Jia Rong also greeted Wang Xifeng at this time, and only told about her return today.

Sister Feng said: "It's good to be back. Rong'er has worked hard these days. Brother Zhen must be very happy to be alive."

Jia Rong was not too happy to be praised, just because these days are indeed hard work, boring and depressing hard work.And because of Jia Rui's presence, it's hard to talk and ask more questions.

Wang Xifeng also didn't want to chat too much with the two of them, so she asked someone to see them off after a while.

On the contrary, when Jia Rui came out of the yard, the joy on his face couldn't be overstated. He was dismissed after drinking a cup of tea, but he seemed to have won a big prize.Jia Rong next to him frowned.

When Jia Rui happily left, Jia Rong didn't forget to enter Wang Xifeng's room again, and said: "Auntie must pay attention to Uncle Rui."

Wang Xifeng's eyes were cold, and he said calmly: "If he has some evil intentions, he will definitely die badly."

Jia Rong was also taken aback, and hurriedly excused herself to go back to the ancestral hall and left.He didn't lie either, he did come directly to the ancestral hall and stayed there for a long time, but no one came at night.

The lonely night was very cold, and the howling wind hit the roof of the ancestral hall, making a strange and piercing sound.

Uncle Rong just stayed in the clean room of the ancestral hall for one night, so he couldn't bear it anymore.At dinner on the second day, he dragged the boy who delivered the food into the room.

The tablets in the ancestral hall trembled in the cold wind.

The portrait of Second Master Ning Rong made a rattling sound in the faint wind.

After a few days, Jia Rong finally found an opportunity and asked someone to send a message to Baochan.Unfortunately, Baochan never went to the ancestral hall.

In this way, more than 20 days of depression passed, until this day, Jia Rong heard the young man say that today is Mrs. Wang's birthday.

"Jing Qing is here?" Jia Rong finally regained some energy on his depressed face.

However, compared to the brilliance on Xia Jingui's face, it was like the firefly compared to the stars and the moon.

Qin Zhong still came with Qin Keqing this time.

Because Mrs. Wang's and Tanchun's birthdays are linked together, and because of Qin Zhong's own thoughts, he plans to stay in Rongguo Mansion for a few more days this time.

However, on the day of Madam Wang's birthday, the Rongguo Mansion was very noisy, Qin Zhong greeted Madam Wang, glanced briefly at Wang Xifeng and Li Wan behind Madam Wang, and never had a chance to talk to one of them alone.

Qin Keqing went to play with the girls again, but he became an idler with nowhere to go.

"Master Rong of the Dongfu asked him to come over."

Ok?
Qin Zhong thought about it before the time for the banquet, so it would be no harm to go there, so he headed towards the ancestral hall of Ningguo Mansion.Before entering the ancestral hall, Jia Rong's voice came from a room outside.

"Jingqing is here, brother these days are so hard!"

"..."

"It's too bitter. At that time, Jingqing said that after returning to the mansion, she could do whatever she wanted. I... I can't do anything no matter what I think, they are all won over by the Xia family." Jia Rong was shocked when she saw Qin Zhong. Pour bitter water.

"There is such a thing?" Qin Zhong was also taken aback, he did not expect that Xia Jingui's methods were really powerful, and he quietly became the real and powerful person in Ningguo Mansion. "Why don't you go to Grandma Zhen?"

"Ahem...some things are better not to let the wife know." Jia Rong's face stiffened, and she said bitterly: "Good man Jingqing, please help me find a way, I'm going to get sick from boredom every day I stay here .”

When Xia Jingui heard that Qin Zhong and Jia Rong were talking outside the ancestral hall, his eyes flashed...
