Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 79 Li Wan, tossing and turning, sweet
In the dim night, seeing Qin Zhong's solemn expression, Li Wan couldn't help but tighten his heart.She has been married into the Rongguo Mansion for so many years, except for the first two years of prosperity, she has lived by relying on Jia Lan's future.

The light of the yellowed lantern sprinkled from the eaves of the front and back of the hall, and shone on Li Wan's slightly thin body.

She trembled slightly, and asked nervously: "What happened today? But Lan'er caused trouble outside?"

"Sister-in-law, don't be impatient. Brother Lan is very well-behaved. Today, many officials in the Xu family praise him for being smart and hard-working." Qin Zhong shook his head to comfort him, sat down on the bench in the hall, and The maid in charge asked for tea.

Fortunately, although the hallway here is not big, the space inside is not small, and the maids usually guard the door of the hallway.

Today, the bench inside has become a place for Qin Zhong to rest his feet.

Li Wan also sat gracefully on the opposite bench.

Just seeing that Biyue was the only maidservant left in the hallway at this time, and seeing Qin Zhong's head bowed across the hall, she was curious about what Qin Zhong was going to say, but her heart couldn't help beating.

In the dim light, Qin Zhong couldn't see his face clearly with his head hanging down, only the figure.

That figure really looks like Master Zhu!

I also thought that at this moment, the lonely man and the lonely woman are in the same room, and I feel uncomfortable in my heart.Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief when the maid serving tea came over.

Qin Zhong took a sip of tea, feeling the cool wind from south to north passing through the hallway, and finally felt much more comfortable.

He raised his head and looked at Li Wan who was sitting upright, his heart skipped a beat.Said: "I actually want to ask my sister-in-law what kind of person does Lang Geer hope to become in the future?"

In this case, no one has ever asked Li Wan, including Li Wan himself.

What kind of person do you want to be?

Everyone hopes that their children will become talents, but what kind of talents will they become?Few thought about it.

Jalan's father died very early.Among the elders of the Jia family, Mr. Zheng is the most outstanding one.It's a pity that it is impossible for Lang Geer to meet Mr. Zheng.

At that time, Mr. Zheng was on behalf of Shangong on his deathbed, and he gave birth to an official who was in charge of the Ministry of Industry.In Jialan's generation, it will be difficult to become an official.

Li Wan thought for a moment, but he didn't expect Qin Zhong to ask such a question.She was disappointed and said: "I just hope that Lan'er will be promising and earn an official position in the future. The specifics will depend on his luck."

"Brother Lan went to Xu's house with me today. When I came back halfway, Brother Lan told me that I wanted to study with me." Qin Zhong said slowly, keeping his eyes on Li Wan.

Under the dim light, although Li Wan couldn't see Qin Zhong's eyes clearly, he felt a little flustered.

"What does uncle think?"

Qin Zhong seriously analyzed: "Brother Lan has his own ideas, it is indeed a good thing. But if he really follows me, his studies will be ruined. What I am doing in the Xu family is farming in the fields, and it is very hard work. Outsiders know about it. I can't persuade him about this matter, otherwise Lan Geer would think that he would not accept him. I just want my sister-in-law to talk to Lang Geer, and now I still have to focus on my studies."

Li Wan didn't know what Qin Zhong was talking about, so he couldn't help feeling sorry for him when he heard this.

"Uncle, do you think Lan'er is suffering?"

"I don't think so. Brother Lan is a direct descendant of the Rongguo Mansion. If he really went to the fields to mix, the masters and wives don't know how to think about it." Qin Zhong really didn't expect Li Wan to react like this.

He knew that Li Wan's father was the former Imperial College Jijiu, and the Li family was even more scholarly.The descendants of the Jia family and the scholarly Li family in the Duke's Mansion wanted to do mud work, so how could he not be worried that the two families would get angry.

Hearing Li Wan's sighs again, Qin Zhong could only comfort him and said, "Brother Lan was trained and educated by his sister-in-law at a young age. His temperament has always been different from other young masters. I also know that Brother Lan has a strong character and a strong will. Lang Geer must be able to eat the bitterness."

Li Wan smiled helplessly, "I know my uncle is worried, as long as my uncle can do it, Lan'er can do it too. If the wife at home thinks it's wrong, but I'll be punished. I also ask my uncle to teach Lan'er more."

As she spoke, she got up and took two steps slowly in front of Qin Zhong, put her hands flat on her left chest, pressed her right hand on her left, bent her knees and lowered her head.

Even if Qin Zhong didn't know much about etiquette, he could see that this was a gift of Wanfu for women developed from the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties.

How could he dare to accept such a big gift, he stepped forward to support Li Wan's elbows in a moment of anxiety, and helped Li Wan to straighten his body.

"Sister-in-law, don't be like this. I treat Lan Geer like a relative... Cough cough. Anyway, I will seriously consider Lange's future, and I will not let him waste his life in the future."

Li Wan didn't hear the parting meaning in Qin Zhong's words, but only felt the sincerity in it, and couldn't help feeling a little soft in his heart.

[Li Wan's favorability +10, Yangshou increased by 10 day]

[Li Wan's current favorability: 40 (close)]

She raised her head lightly, only to see the light from the lanterns on the eaves of the front and rear doors of the hall shining on Qin Zhong's left and right sides.

Li Wan stared blankly for a while, but felt a kind of closeness in his heart.

"Uncle Lao!"

[Li Wan's favorability +1, Yangshou increased by 1 day]

"One family, don't talk about two families." Qin Zhong smiled sarcastically, looked away, and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.He grinned again and said: "Since my sister-in-law is willing, I should let me talk about the wife. In the future, Brother Lan will be successful, and I should take this responsibility."

Li Wan was startled for a moment, then he knew what Qin Zhong said.He wanted to take all the responsibility on himself!

Poor Brother Lang these years, no one in his family can treat him like this.

His hands were slightly warm, and the elbows and arms that were supported felt a little numb.

Grandma Zhu thought for a while, even her grandma had only heard such caring words from Grandpa Zhu back then.Su Ya Shu Xian's delicate face turned red, her eyes seemed to be shining brightly, and she said gracefully, "Uncle hard work."

[Li Wan's favorability +5, Yangshou increased by 5 day]

"It's not hard!"

Qin Zhong embraced this, naturally he was sure.Not only do you not worry about Mrs. Wang being angry, but you can also gain favorability.

After all, Mrs. Wang doesn't care about Jia Lan's studies.Mrs. Wang is naturally happy if Jia Lan is successful; if she is not, Mrs. Wang may not think much about it.

From Mrs. Wang's point of view, it's just that when Jia Lan becomes an adult and has no fame, he asks someone to donate an official.If Jia Lan is willing to move forward and Wang Ziteng has not retreated in the future, Lang Geer's future will not be a problem.

Even with Baoyu, Mrs. Wang is in the same mind.

It's just that Jia Zheng doesn't think so.

As the master of the family, Jia Zheng naturally thought that it would be best for his children and grandchildren to be able to enter the imperial examination, not only with great potential, but also to set an example for future children and grandchildren.

Qin Zhong was not worried about Jia Zheng's opinion. He had already decided that Jia Lan would still go to the free school in the morning and study plant genetics with himself in the afternoon.

He only told Li Wan what was in his heart, and then listened again.

[Li Wan's favorability +1, Yangshou increased by 1 days (current favorability: 47)]

Jia Lan was indeed Li Wan's only pain point. In the past few days, because Jia Lan made Li Wan's favorability soar, he almost caught up with Wang Xifeng's 49 points.

When the favorability reaches 50, it becomes a bosom friend.

Li Wan's mood was not calm either, he seemed to feel a closeness and caring that he hadn't experienced in many years, and he felt a little bit of happiness.

That night, Li Wan lay on the bed and couldn't calm down for a long time.I also have a sense of identity with words like "Uncle Zhong is like a pearl".

In the middle of the night, Grandma Zhu tossed and turned, face inward and embraced her hands, and had a sweet dream.

When I woke up, it was already dawn.

The money made the maids change their clothes, and Yu Chuan came outside to ask Master Xiaolan if he was up.

"He's here!"

Li Wan's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked Suyun to put a jeweled brow on her forehead. "Tell Lan'er to talk to Uncle Zhong, I'm afraid there will be some explanations this morning."

Ping'er in the next yard frowned when he saw the figure in the hallway.After seeing Second Master Lian go out, he quietly whispered back in Wang Xifeng's ear.

"He did his duty with all his heart, even the old lady and his wife agreed, and he didn't go into Li's courtyard, so there is no gossip." Wang Xifeng didn't take it seriously.

She was only afraid of gossip outside Li's courtyard, and she often sat with Qin Zhong in the hall, not to be rumored.

Hearing this, Ping'er couldn't help saying: "She is not like you. You are in charge of this house, no matter who you see, you have nothing to say. She is a widow. Although Uncle Zhong never enters her courtyard, he often appears outside her courtyard." , the number of times is too many, how can the maids and women talk too much?"

"Feng'er go out and have a look, and when Jingqing finishes his work, ask him to come over to me."

Qin Zhong and Jia Lan confessed that Jia Lan is still studying in Yi Xue these days, and will come here to take classes every few days in the future.

After all, he also needs to take care of the land in front of Qin's house, so he doesn't have so much free time to come to Shenjing City.
