Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 74 The Noisy Night

Rui Zhu restrained her body, carefully supported Qin Zhong to sit down on the inner bed, and asked someone to serve sober soup.To Qin Zhong's words, he acted like he didn't hear it, but his heart was already panicked like ants on a hot pot.

First, she was afraid that Qin Keqing would blame him.

Secondly, she has measured it herself, and she knows the details better than anyone else.

Ruizhu was worried, because every time he talked to the uncle at night, he would spend a lot of time talking.

When the maid brought the hangover soup, Ruizhu helped Uncle Zhong sit still, and brought the hangover soup for him to drink.

Qin Zhong was hanging crookedly, holding Ruizhu's waist with one hand, and he really looked drunk.It's just that Qin Zhong's eyes were shining with a brilliance that Ruizhu couldn't see, and after drinking the hangover soup, Ruizhu helped him to lie down on the bed.

He quietly opened his eyes and watched the maidservants busy in the inner bedroom, and he heard all kinds of noise in the house in his ears.

It's because the maids and women in the mansion are still cleaning up!
I don't know if the master rests?
Where is my sister?
"Sister Rui, come and talk to me!" Qin Zhong lay flat and looked at the curtains on the bed.Seeing that Rui Zhu was sitting close cautiously, he didn't mention the appointment in the morning, but just muttered: "I'm afraid I will spend less time in the mansion from now on!"

As long as the palace does not give him a job, the time in the Qin family will actually be longer.He would just want to find an excuse to talk with Ruizhu, and coax Ruizhu to get closer during this time.

Now that Qin Zhong is an official, it is naturally impossible for him to study in Jia's Yi School.In the future, there is no reason to go to Jia's house every now and then, and I have to find a reason to get close to this matter.

It's not enough just because of Mrs. Wang's adoptive son.

Ruizhu said: "Hasn't the imperial court conferred on the uncle yet?"

"I want to make a career, so naturally I can't wait to be appointed." Qin Zhong said slowly, turning sideways to hold Ruizhu's hand beside the bed, and said politely: "I want to give Sister Rui a better job." Life. Not only give sister Rui a beautiful house, good food and clothing, but also think about the future of our children and grandchildren."

Startled, Ruizhu lowered her head and turned her eyebrows, a little red edge appeared on her bright and beautiful face.

"The uncle drank too much. The young lady heard these words and made me suffer."

For maids like them, it would be great if they could be aunts, but it's a pity that they don't have descendants in name.

Even if it comes out of the stomach, it is still the son and daughter of the house's grandma.

Since Ruizhu was kept by Qin Keqing's side, she knew it very well.This kind of result is considered excellent, if they are paired with a servant from the mansion, they will be born as lowly slaves from the mansion in the future.As for other things, she never thought about "such as getting rid of the lowly status and marrying a good man" with the favor of the mansion.

How easy is it to get rid of lowly status, and how many lovers are willing to marry a woman who was once lowly?Unless someone deliberately seeks to gain connections with the Qin family.

Ruizhu thought so, but she was also moved a lot in her heart.No matter whether the uncle is just a lip service or not, she thinks it is enough to be able to say the word "we".

[Ruizhu favorability +5, Yangshou increased by 5 days]

Qin Zhong rubbed Ruizhu's hand, and said with a smile: "I'm really confused, it doesn't matter which one is born, as long as my species is the same."

Ruizhu was ashamed!

The lights outside gradually dimmed, and the voices made by the maid and mother-in-law became quieter, and finally it looked like the night was still.

Qin Zhong's head unexpectedly sounded, Xue Baochai's favorability reminder.

[Xue Baochai's favorability degree +5, Yangshou increased by 5 days (current favorability degree: 6)]

Then there is...

[Jia Tanchun's favorability degree +1, Yangshou increased by 1 days (current favorability degree: 6)]

It turned out that the Rongguo Mansion was still noisy at this time.

It was Aunt Xue's birthday that day, and although the Xue family hadn't made any big arrangements, the juniors of the Rongguo Mansion all gathered in the Pear Fragrance Court for a drink.

Originally, the time was gone, but Wang Xifeng actually got the news about Qinghe Town and told it all at once.

Baoyu said: "No wonder Jingqing is not here today. It is said that Jingqing respects my aunt the most. If there is no such important thing, she will definitely come."

All the women in the room were surprised.

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Young girl Feng, you must have misunderstood him. He is a teenager, and he has no fame, so he was appointed an official."

Wang Xifeng proudly said: "This matter cannot be faked. Just now Zhou Rui's family came here to let me prepare a congratulatory gift, and I will send it to the Qin family in a few days. The news came from the son-in-law of Zhou Rui's family, saying that there are many people in Qinghe Town today. Some people went to buy antiques from him, and after inquiring, they found out that they still have some connection with our family.”

Jia Baoyu patted his palms, as if he had won the favor of a goddess, with a high air.

"I said earlier that Jingqing was different from ordinary people. At that time, the mansion did not know that Jingqing was in contact with the Xu family? The old man of the Xu family saluted Jingqing. It was in the back street, and many people saw it. Brother Pan also I'm here, if you don't believe me, I'll ask my brother."

Aunt Xue said curiously: "He didn't mention this matter. Girl Feng asked what kind of official Jingqing's child was given."

Tanchun and the others pricked up their ears, even Lin Daiyu looked at Wang Xifeng curiously.

Although Xue Baochai was also a little curious, she didn't find it strange.Since ancient times, there have been people who have given officials at a young age, and Qin Zhong is not the only one.Where did Xu get someone's favor, and he was guaranteed an official status of eighth or ninth rank.

In this world, as long as you have money, you can donate an eighth or ninth rank official in vain.

If there is still fame, officials of the sixth and seventh ranks can also donate.Officials of the fifth rank can also donate if they want to inherit the title of the body, or receive shade from their ancestors.

Didn't Master Xiaorong of Dongfu just donate a fifth grade?
There are too many such things in the world, and Xue Pan also relied on the shadow of his ancestors to make a false name in the household department and receive imperial money from the imperial family.

The crowd only listened to Wang Xifeng laughing and said: "I don't know what the specific position is, I only heard that he is of the sixth rank, and he enshrined all the imperial edicts in the Qin family's ancestral hall."

Imperial decree?An official of the sixth rank.

Jia, Wang, and Xue's families are all officials, so they naturally don't know their importance like Qin Zhong.The imperial decree granting an edict is not the same as donating an official.Donate officials can only be on the waiting list, and wait in line one by one when there is a real shortage.

There are many people who can only be an alternate all their lives.Of course, rich people donate to officials, and most of them don't want to be officials, they just want to use a false name to facilitate their actions.

But if the imperial decree was issued in the palace, it was in the eyes of the palace, and it would be raised suddenly at some point.

The difference is huge.

Think about how old Qin Zhong is now.

Even Lin Daiyu looked sideways.

Xue Baochai was also stunned for a moment, and said again and again: "This is a great joy. In the past, Brother Zhong has never been less courteous in front of anyone. It is time for our family to prepare a gift."

Jia Baoyu nodded repeatedly, "I want to give him a gift too!"

Qinghe Town Qin Family, Qin Zhong also pulled Rui Zhu and said: "I want to give Sister Rui a big gift!"

It turned out that all the lights in Qin's house were extinguished at this time, only a small candle was left in the bedroom of the east wing for the maids to wake up at night.

The small candles are dimly lit and dim, this is also the rule of this kind of family, the most afraid of the maids quarreling with the masters at night.

It's just that when the candle is lit in the bedroom in the east wing, it looks extraordinarily strange.

The inner bedroom is not big, except for Uncle Zhong's bed frame, there are only desks, wardrobes, and a few neatly arranged stools.There was no sign of Ruizhu in the room at all, but Uncle Pianzhong was talking to Ruizhu.

Rui Zhu replied softly: "Master, go to bed quickly, tomorrow morning I have to report to the official of the Ministry of Officials."

Uncle Qin Zhong's voice sounded slowly in the darkness, "The more I slept, the more awake I became, and I heard the sound of two hearts beating."

"Then I'll sleep on the bed outside." Rui Zhu hurriedly replied.

The bedrooms of their families have always been divided into inside and outside, with a curtain separating the inside and outside, and the outside is the place where the maids sleep.

"I'm very happy today. I want Sister Rui to accompany me." Qin Zhong felt his fingers caressing the exceptionally smooth silk. How many men can calm down at such a time?

He turned around lightly, and felt that lying on his side was also extremely sweet.

In the darkness, he swallowed quietly, his fingers twitching.

Slow down!

But in the dark night, any sound or movement is particularly obvious.Even if a mosquito flies through the air, Ruizhu can hear the sound of the mosquito flapping its wings.Not to mention this rustling, furtive movement.

In the middle of the night, it was a bit hot!
