Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 179 Jingui is free and full of love, and the palace tailor is shy and shy ③【Please order】

"Grandma, do you want to go over?" Baochan immediately asked in front of Jin Gui.

Xia Jingui wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said leisurely, "What did I do in the past? Go and hear how he begged someone to bring a woman into the ancestral hall to be humiliated?"

Baochan wanted to secretly go to the ancestral hall for a few nights, so as to comfort Uncle Rong's lonely heart.However, grandma Xia Jingui watched closely, there was really no chance.Her eyes were gloomy, and she said cautiously: "Uncle Qin is just upright, and he will definitely not help him with this kind of matter. I am afraid that the uncle will ask for other things."

Xia Jingui said indifferently: "Let him ask for anything, and I don't care about him." Then, he glanced at Baochan from the sidelines, and slowly said: "Even if he really manages to bring a few little hoofs in The ancestral hall fools around, how can I be a grandma and take care of him as an uncle."

Baochan carefully looked at Xia Jingui's eyes, seeing that he didn't care, he really believed it.I just think that grandma has her whole heart on Uncle Qin Zhong, and she doesn't even care about the affairs of Ningguo Mansion.

On Jia Rong's side, Qin Zhong's face was troubled.

To be honest, it is impossible for a person to stay alone in the ancestral hall for a long time.It's not that you can't leave the ancestral hall during the mourning period, but you don't even think about staying in the inner house at night, let alone having sex with women.

At the time of mourning, there should be no food or entertainment.You can't eat wine or meat, and you can't go to banquets, entertain guests, watch theaters, or listen to music.

"According to the days, it's only a few days." Qin Zhong patted Jia Rong's shoulder, "Be patient."

"It's not that." Jia Rong denied, "It's just that it's too depressing here, and there are not even a few people to talk to."

Qin Zhong asked strangely: "Shall I get you some playthings like Luban balls and Kong Mingsuo?"

Jia Rong shook her head quickly.That has several meanings, it would be more interesting to invite two young men to play cards in the clean room.

"I can't help it." It's not that Qin Zhong doesn't want to help Jia Rong, but that it's too bad to help.It's like asking a friend to go out to sing, but the friend ordered a girl to ask you to pay for it. This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable.

Seeing Jia Rong's unhappy face, he comforted her and said, "Don't be depressed. After the filial piety period, I'll ask Baoyu, Uncle Feng, Uncle Xue, and Lai Shangrong to have a drink with you."

Jia Rong forced a smile, and sighed: "After all, Jingqing is the most affectionate. There is a birthday banquet in the west today, and I will not delay Jingqing's efforts."

After finishing speaking, Jia Rong went to the Jia's ancestral hall.

Qin Zhong watched them off, and saw a plaque hanging on the five gates, which read "Jia's Ancestral Hall" and "Yan Shenggong Kong Jizong Book" beside it.

There is a pair of long couplets on both sides, which read: "The kindness of the surname Lai Baoyu, whose name is Lai Baoyu, whose fame and fame run through the sky for a hundred generations.It is also written by Shenggong.

From outside the sill, you can also see green pines and cypresses on both sides of the Baishiyong Road in the courtyard.There are green and green bronze tripods and other utensils on the platform, and a Kowloon gold plaque hangs in front of Baosha, which reads: "Xinghui Fuzhu". It is the imperial pen of the former emperor.

Jia Rong is now walking on the Baishiyong Road, among the green pines and green cypresses.It seems to have walked into the gloomy abyss, and it also seems to have walked into the glory and splendor of the Jia family in the past.

Qin Zhong paused to take a long look, remembering the end of the Jia family in the original book, he could not help but sigh.When Jia Rong disappeared, he also left, left Ningguo Mansion, and went straight to the west.

At this time, Xia Jingui also got up with Mrs. You, and went to the West Mansion to congratulate Mrs. Wang on her birthday.

Jingui talked about Uncle Rong's suffering in the ancestral hall in front of Youshi, which made his confidant Baochan puzzled.

Youshi wrote down what Xia Jingui said, and felt that Jia Rong was pitiful.

In Xia Jingui's heart, however, he was thinking about how to teach that good and inexperienced uncle how to subdue women.

"Born with a great tool, but completely ignorant of any skills, it's really wasteful." Jingui felt it was a pity.

In the Rongguo Mansion, Zhu's grandma, Li Shi, was worried.

From that day on, whenever Li Wan was calm, the complex and contradictory thoughts in his mind collided with each other more intensely.Especially the position of the eldest daughter-in-law and the status of a widow made Li Wan feel deeply guilty.Coupled with the extra lenient treatment of the old lady and his wife these days, I feel even more ashamed of the Jia family.

However, today I see Qin Zhong again after more than a month.

Li Gongcai's mind was even more in a trance, especially when Qin Zhong's eyes secretly swept over him, his heart couldn't stop beating faster.

"Ridiculous, how could he be the uncle." Li Wan looked at Mrs. Wang who was chatting happily with others in front of him, and blamed himself in his heart.

"But... if he is not the uncle..."

Li Wan was so immersed in his own thoughts that he didn't even hear what the people in the chat room were saying.Under the complicated and chaotic thoughts, she couldn't tell whether she wanted him in her heart?

Or wish he wasn't?
"Where did Zhong'er and Baoyu go?" Mrs. Wang suddenly mentioned Qin Zhong, which brought Li Wan back to his senses.

Only Wang Xifeng replied: "Jingqing was invited by Rong'er to the East Mansion just now, so it must be time to go back now. Baoyu is with her sisters and is coming this way."

Mrs. Wang heard this, took Mrs. Wang Ziteng's hand, and said in distaste: "These two children didn't rush over to pay their respects even when their aunt was here. There is no rule at all. We must ask someone to teach them a good lesson later. .”

Mrs. Wang Ziteng had heard of Qin Zhong's name long ago, and even heard that the third girl from the Rong Mansion had a marriage contract with the brother of the Qin family, but she was still very surprised at the intimacy when Mrs. Wang mentioned Qin Zhong.Not to mention just the future son-in-law, even the real son-in-law, he shouldn't be asked to come to the women's family.

Mrs. Wang explained with a laugh: "You haven't seen him yet. You might as well ask your uncles and aunts to guard Sanya today."

Wang Xifeng echoed: "Yes, yes. My wife only has a daughter like the third sister, and her husband must be carefully inspected by relatives." Anyway, no one else would know, after she inspected it, she felt that it was great good.

After hearing this, all the ladies in the room laughed and declined, while looking forward to it curiously.

Mrs. Wang was very satisfied with Sister Feng's remarks, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.Only Aunt Zhao, who was standing behind, was muttering something silently, looking at Mrs. and Mrs. Wang's eyes with a sense of daring to speak out.

When Li Wan saw this kind of scene, he could not care less about it before, but now he has mixed feelings in his heart.

Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered something, turned her head to look at Li Wan, and asked, "Why didn't Boy Lan come here?"

Li Wan didn't dare to look directly at Mrs. Wang's sharp and menacing eyes, so she hurriedly restrained her mind and replied, "Lan'er was called by Baoyu early in the morning, and she is also with the girls."

Mrs. Wang didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, and because Aunt Xue brought Baochai, there was another commotion in the room.Not long after, Mrs. You brought Xia Jingui over, and Mrs. Wang asked Wang Xifeng and Li Wan to entertain her next door.Girls with girls, wives with wives.

Only Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue, and Mrs. Wang Ziteng were left to talk with Mrs. Wang.

When Qin Keqing, Shi Xiangyun, Jia Jia Sanchun, Baoyu and Jia Lan arrived, Li Wan led Keqing and Xiangyun to sit inside first, and then Sanchun also entered to sit at the same table.

Baoyu and Jialan stayed with Mrs. Wang, and when Qin Zhong arrived, they got up together.

"It is indeed a talent."

No one will say bad things on this day, this time, this occasion.Mrs. Wang Ziteng sized her eyes lightly, but stopped looking closely.

Qin Zhong was at a loss.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "This is your aunt from the Wang family."

Only now did Qin Zhong understand the hint, and quickly saluted, "I wish my aunt good luck and well-being."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng's face was a little strange, and she said with a smile: "This child is very polite, really likable."

It was time for Wang Xifeng to come out, and said with a ostentatious smile: "This guy has a lot of tricks to please people. I don't know how he made the saints in the palace happy, but he got an official position for nothing. I was in a hurry to learn from my teacher, but in the end, our little Lan got a lot of money."

After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, Mrs. Wang blamed: "Why are you talking about this, is everyone ready to entertain you?" Even though she was reprimanded, the smile on Mrs. Wang's face did not decrease by a single bit, on the contrary, it faintly became brighter .

He said again, "Jingqing, go to the master's side."

When Mrs. Wang Ziteng saw Qin Zhong and Baoyu leaving together, Fang squinted at Mrs. Wang, and then at Wang Xifeng.Asked: "Is he the one who made a lot of noise in the capital last year?"

Wang Xifeng replied with a smile: "That's the bastard. I didn't expect that there would be such a big commotion at that time, and I asked my aunt to worry about him. Fortunately, nothing happened afterwards."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng nodded slightly, thinking.

Aunt Xue thought it was getting late, so she called everyone to a table, and the conversation about Qin Zhong was over.

When Qin Zhong came to Jia Zheng's side, he naturally greeted him for a while.

Jia Zheng said politely: "Don't be impatient. Since the news has come from the Xu family, no matter what your position is, there will be one. Zhong'er has to calm down." As he said this, he looked at Baoyu next to him. On the contrary, he himself could not sink Hold on.

People are more mad than people.

Jia Baoyu felt a sudden gust of cold air coming from behind, from the tailbone to the back of the neck, and even the scalp on the top of the head was faintly numb.He looked at Qin Zhong helplessly, then lowered his head, trying to be an invisible person.

Qin Zhong replied respectfully: "What the master taught is true. I just listened to what the Xu family said before, and I didn't think there would be any news for a month or two. In the future, just wait for the letter with peace of mind. According to what the master said, there is no rush at this time. "

Jia She stroked his beard and said confidently: "Zhong'er is only this age, there is no need to worry. If there is no news for a while, I will write two letters and ask you carefully."

"With the words of the great master, Zhong'er can rest assured." Qin Zhong didn't care whether what Jia She said was true or not, and whether Jia She was really capable, his superficial performance on such occasions was to listen carefully and mention the wine. The son went there with joy. "Zhong'er would like to thank Elder Master in advance."

Jia Amnesty was really pleased with himself.

[Jia Amnesty's favorability +8, Yangshou increased by 8 days (current favorability: 34)]

When Qin Zhong heard the prompt in his mind, he was expected, but also a little surprised.A thought flashed through my mind: In the past, I would never have been able to do these things, and I don't know if it was influenced by Qin Keqing, Xue Baochai, or Xia Jingui, so it was natural to say these compliments. .

It should be taught by Baochai!

I used to be definitely not this kind of person.

Qin Zhong thought that he hated Jia She from the bottom of his heart, not to say he hated him extremely, but he definitely hated him.Not only disgusting, but also somewhat contemptuous.Not to mention Jia Amnesty, even Jia Zheng doesn't think much of it.But at this moment, he drank with them in peace of mind and greeted them with smiles.

It is simply unimaginable to put it in the previous life.

Am I becoming the person I used to hate?
seems like it.

I used to hate scumbags the most!Hehe~~
Back then, I was so pure, innocent, and single-minded!Alas, gone forever.

Qin Zhong felt a little emotional in his heart, but was immediately hooked by the urgent voice from outside.

"A letter from Yangzhou!"

What?
Yangzhou...Lin Ruhai?Jia Lian?
Qin Zhong was stunned for a moment, faintly feeling something was wrong.In the original book, it was written that Lin Ruhai died in September. Since last September was fine, then it was September this year. Why did you receive a letter at this time?

Perhaps it was an ordinary letter sent by Jia Lian to Shenjing!

As he thought so, Jia Zheng talked to everyone and hurried out of the table.

In the room, all the men showed curious expressions.

Baoyu tugged at Qin Zhong's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Do you think Sister Lin has written?"

How the hell do I know? !

Qin Zhong glanced at Baoyu and shook his head.I thought to myself: You kid is not tired of being around Shi Xiangyun recently, why do you think of Lin Daiyu again?
Baoyu said with a sad face: "I don't know if sister Lin misses me in the southern province. Why hasn't she written a letter after so long?"

Have you ever written a letter to someone?

Qin Zhong pursed his lips, not wanting to get involved in the affairs between Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.Hearing Jia Amnesty say, 'Let's continue drinking', he stopped thinking about things in the south out of curiosity.

After just one or two cups, Jia Zheng walked in with a happy face.When people asked about it, Jia Zheng laughed happily and said, "The letter said that there is nothing serious about Ru Hai, and Lian'er will return to Beijing soon."

What?
its not right.How come it's all right?He definitely wasn't looking forward to Lin Ruhai's death, but there was a big change from what was written in the original book quietly, which made Qin Zhong feel a little dumbfounded.

Baoyu also showed a sincere smile on his face, and said softly: "Sister Lin should come back too."

"Oh!"

Qin Zhong replied lightly, feeling very complicated in his heart, feeling like he suddenly lost his confidence.The whole noon was in a daze, and when everyone dispersed after drinking, they still hadn't figured out how Lin Ruhai would be fine.

This confusion continued until...

"Gong... sister-in-law!" Qin Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up, and all kinds of messy thoughts in his mind were temporarily thrown away.As soon as he looked up, he realized that he and Baoyu had unknowingly walked to the intersection between the north and the south, and happened to meet Li Wan who came out of Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

Li Wan froze, and when he saw Baoyu beside Qin Zhong, a smile appeared on his face. "Where are you going?"

Qin Zhong has been thinking about Lin Ruhai's affairs, but he doesn't know where to go to take a look at Baoyu.

Baoyu said: "Jing Qing, go back to your room and rest by yourself. I'll go to my wife and ask if there is any letter from Sister Lin." After that, the little fat man ran away to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

Qin Zhong saw that there was no one left or right, so he looked carefully at Li Wan, and said, "I'll send the courtier back to his room!"

"You...don't..." Li Wan was so nervous that he couldn't help rubbing the front of his clothes with both hands.The shyness hidden in the color of his face was revealed in a panic under Qin Zhong's eyes. "You don't need to send it!"
