Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 8 Qin Ye's mentality collapsed

Qin Zhong said in a timely manner: "Our family has a high lintel, so it is not impossible to recruit a son-in-law. My sister doesn't need to leave the familiar home, Jing Qing can also protect her from being bullied."

Qin Keqing came back to her senses.

Bright and clear eyes stared at his face for a long time.

In the past, Jing Qing acted like a daughter, uninhibited and shy.

Absolutely no such words.

Now, Jingqing has really grown up.

In just one month, it seemed like a different person.Even when he was beaten last time when he retired, he didn't complain.

Qin Keqing had some regrets.She thought that if she married into the Ningguo Mansion, Jingqing's official career would be much smoother in the future.

Now, she doesn't want those anymore.

There is only emotion left in my heart.

Qin Keqing had a gentle smile on her two thin red lips, her complexion was delicate and her eyes were full of sparkles.

In the clear blue eyes, only Qin Zhong's handsome appearance was reflected.

The eyes are like water, dripping into the heart lake, causing ripples.

Qin Zhong looked at each other for a moment, his heart softened by half.

This sister has to hide.

Otherwise, she will easily cause trouble wherever she goes.

Qin Keqing smiled lightly: "Okay, sister listens to Jingqing."

Father Qin Ye's eyes shook outside the door, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Sin!
"You...you... are all surnamed Qin!"

Although Ke'er was adopted from Yangsheng Tang, her last name is Qin.

She was raised by the Qin family's own daughter.

how……

how come!
No wonder this rebellious son has been courting Ke'er these days.

He had a guess, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his guess was right.

It turns out~
It turns out...

Niezi, he really had such an idea!
The old faces of the ancestors of the Qin family are going to be completely humiliated.

At this moment, Qin Ye really wanted to rush in and beat up Nizi severely.

but……

Looking at the expressions of the two people in the room, the master's eyes were lost.

Ke'er, why do you have such an expression?
The 65-year-old Qin Ye's mentality has collapsed.

For the first time, I deeply felt helpless and didn't know what to do for a while.

He sighed in a daze.

I saw that the maids in the room were already eating.

Qin Ye knew that Ke Er and Jing Qing were coming out, so he went to the main room with heavy steps.

Pretending not to hear or see anything, I could only sigh in my heart.

I wish everything was a misunderstanding!

Qin Zhong didn't know anything about all this, so he took a while.After Qin Keqing returned to the backyard, he was called to the reception hall of the main room by the maid.

He looked at Qin Ye who was sitting there thinking, and called out suspiciously.

"master?"

Qin Ye just finished his meal, because he was thinking about something, so he didn't even finish his meal.He raised his eyes and glared at Qin Zhong, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Today, why is Master Xiaorong from the Ningguo Mansion here?"

"It's... just to thank the baby." Qin Zhong poked and observed secretly.

full of doubts.

Why did you provoke the master today?
Looking at it like this, I'm afraid I will suffer another meal.

The long-lived eyebrows at the corners of Qin Ye's brows were already raised, as if he was about to hit someone at any time.

"What did he come to thank you for?"

"Thank you for giving him an idea." Qin Zhong replied cautiously.

Seeing Master Qin Ye's clenched fist quietly loosen.

He secretly let out a sigh of relief.Although he was beaten a few days ago, Qin Ye is not bad after all.

Otherwise, he couldn't stand being beaten twice in three days.

Seeing him like this, Qin Ye felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and coughed twice.I thought to myself that I was getting old and I didn't know how long I would have to live.Although Jingqing is young, she has her own opinions now...

Hey~
Jingqing is his own son, but Ke'er brought her here.

That's all, that's all!
Qin Ye waved his hand, "Go back, and study hard in the future. After a while, I will find you a teacher."

"Master, rest early."

Qin Zhong came in doubt, and left in doubt.

In the next few days, everything in the Qin family was normal.

There is only one thing, Qin Zhong is more curious.

Recently, Liao's housekeeper's daughter-in-law asked Qin Keqing to take a look at everything.

In the past, although Qin Keqing took care of some family affairs.

But because she was waiting to be married, she only cared about the maids in the backyard and some trivial money expenses.

The most important matters of the Qin family are still taken care of by Master Qin Ye.

Now, Qin Keqing had to look over even things like returning gifts between relatives and collecting rent from the farmland.

It's really weird!

Qin Zhong put down the scroll in his hand, and looked curiously at Qin Keqing who was reading "The Commandments for Women" next to him.

Can't help being curious.

Asked: "Sister, how much money does our family have?"

Qin Keqing turned her head and looked at him warily. "Why ask this?"

"Just to inquire about it."

Qin Zhong felt itchy in his heart.

Although he is not particularly greedy for money, who would think too much money.

"There are only 400 taels of cash left in the house, and I will save it for you to marry a wife. Don't make any decisions about that money."

Qin Keqing replied.

She only found out about the situation at home in the past few days.

The average family spends no more than 20 taels a year.

After all, the Qin family is different from ordinary families.

Although there are only more than 20 mouths in Shangxia, they still need to spend two hundred taels of silver a year.

She calculated carefully these two days.

As a sixth-rank official, Mr. Qin has an annual salary of 120 taels.

There are [-] mu of ancestral fertile land in the family, and the rent per mu is about five buckets of rice.At present, the price of rice in Qinghe Town is slightly lower, ten Wen for a liter, and a hundred Wen for a bucket.

The annual rent for [-] mu of fertile land is only about [-] taels of silver.

Once collected and consumed, there is not much money left every year.

Qin Keqing thought that Qin Zhong was begging for money.Then he put down the scroll in his hand, and took out a few broken pieces of silver and a few copper coins from his body.

Said: "I only have these on me, save some use."

It can be seen that Qin Keqing took out all the money on his body.

This behavior moved Qin Zhong very much.

But he didn't go to get the broken silver, but he was puzzled.

Only 400 taels of cash left at home?

Didn't it say in the original book that Qin Zhong was still thinking about the three or four thousand taels of silver left by Qin Ye before he died?
The difference is ten times!

The gap is probably too big.

He blinked and looked at Qin Keqing.

If Qin Keqing's dowry is removed from the three 400 taels, the family will be really poor.

Qin Zhong suggested in a low voice: "Why don't you set aside half of the money and use it to buy fields."

Buying fields is the safest choice at this time.

Although the Great Chu Dynasty was founded for a hundred years, it has only been 60 years since the reunification of the North and the South.Now we are in a time when the land is sparsely populated, the population is growing steadily, and the land price is also rising steadily.

Most importantly, Qin Zhong knew that natural disasters continued during the Little Ice Age.

The price of rice in Shenjing will become more and more expensive.

As the saying goes: If there is food at home, don’t panic.

As for things like dowry and dowry.

Qin Zhong glanced at Qin Keqing.

What if... you don't need it in the future?

Qin Keqing glanced at him and smiled sweetly.

"I mentioned it to the master earlier. I was afraid that you would lose all your family property in the future, so I asked the housekeeper to buy twenty or thirty acres. From now on, I can collect nearly a hundred taels of rent silver every year. Even if Jing Qing fails to study in the future, in this life I also have no worries about food and clothing.”

This time it was Qin Zhong's turn to be stunned.

I almost forgot that it was also written in the original book that Qin Keqing is a good housekeeper.

Not only could she see the hidden dangers of the Jia family, but she even gave Wang Xifeng a way to preserve the Jia family property before she died.

Hey~
It would be great if it wasn't for my sister.

Qin Zhong sighed in his heart.

Qin Keqing's favorability towards him has not increased these days.

Feel melancholy.

Outside, a maid came in and secretly took out a slip of paper and handed it to Qin Zhong.

"Master, it was sent by the Jia family in Shenjing City." The servant girl whispered in his ear, for fear of attracting the young lady's attention.

Qin Zhong frowned, and quietly opened the slip to take a look.

It turned out that it was Jia Baoyu who sent a post to invite him, the second day of September, which is tomorrow.

Go to Rongguo Mansion to appreciate chrysanthemums?

Chrysanthemum appreciation?
What chrysanthemum do you enjoy? !

This post was not written clearly, it really made him think too much.

But Baoyu, it is really possible to enjoy another kind of chrysanthemum.

To go or not to go?
