Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 88 "Pain...don't move!"

Because of Jia Zhen's illness, Jia Rong is very busy these days. She doesn't know how many relatives, friends, imperial physicians, and monks she has to receive every day.There was also Xia Jingui's factor, he rarely went to Wang Xifeng's place these past few months, and he didn't know that Wang Xifeng had invited Qin Zhong over on Wang Xifeng's birthday today.

Jia Rong is more willing to trust Qin Zhong's guidance on many things.Hearing the news of Qin Zhong's coming to the mansion, he seemed to have found his backbone.

He rushed to the front hall to greet him, and saw Qin Zhong looking for Lai Sheng in the front hall and asking about Uncle Zhen's condition.

At this moment, he saw that Qin Zhong was tall and slender, with a handsome white face, less childish than the previous few months.

Looking at it like this, I feel that Qin Zhong is more credible.

"Jing Qing is here!" Jia Rong rushed forward to greet her, took Qin Zhong's hand, and said sadly: "The other day when my uncle came, I thought Jing Qing would come too. These days, I have no idea, and I just met you today." Take it easy."

Qin Zhong wondered, "Is it already this serious?"

Jia Rong felt even sadder when she heard this.He nodded, pulled Qin Zhong to the side, and said, "I don't know what that woman ate for the master. She vomited a big puddle that day, and finally bled. Now I sleep more than when I wake up, and I can't eat anything." Things, people are lean."

Qin Zhong's eyeballs rolled slowly, and he wondered in his heart: Could it be that Xia Jingui did something about it?

He asked again, "Have you invited the imperial physician from the palace?"

Jia Rong sighed: "Master is the pillar of the family. Now that he is ill, how can I support the family alone? There is no reason not to invite the imperial doctor in the palace, whether it is the imperial doctor wandering outside or the doctor who sells goods. Few. The gentlemen from various families have also visited many times, and they have seen them one by one, but there is no symptom."

And such a thing?
Qin Zhong glanced at Jia Rong suspiciously.I'm afraid that someone has seen the disease, but they don't have the nerve to talk about it?Or is Jia Rong aware of the disease, but unwilling to tell the outside world?
He asked, "What happened to that woman?"

Jia Rong said angrily: "The woman refused to say anything, but my daughter-in-law forced me to find out. The woman used the medicine for nourishing the kidney qi commonly used in Jiangnan, but I don't know if the prescription is wrong or not. The pharmacy took it wrong. Now the people in the pharmacy have also been locked up, but the woman suddenly threw herself into the well the next day."

As Jia Rong spoke, her expression gradually began to weep again.Although Jia Zhen was strict in the past, at least Jia Zhen was able to maintain the dignity of Ningguo Mansion.

Thinking about the day when Master Zhen goes away, the Ningguo Mansion will be considered a real defeat.

Jia Rong couldn't help being even more sad, and said sadly: "Although I hang it with ginseng every day, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter."

Qin Zhong also heaved a sigh.The root cause of Jia Zhen's incident may not be found. Even if it is investigated carefully, it will eventually be blamed on the woman who threw herself into the well.

But the question in my heart still hovered.

Does it really have nothing to do with Xia Jingui?But... Xia Jingui's questioning of that woman can be suspicious!
Qin Zhong pondered for a moment and did not come to a conclusion, so he stopped thinking about it for the time being.He comforted him: "Uncle Rong, don't be sad, there are so many doctors, there is always one who can cure him."

Jia Rong shook her head lightly and replied, "I have invited all the masters inside and outside the city of Shenjing, including those who chanted scriptures and practiced a few times, but there is still no improvement."

oh~~
Qin Zhong didn't talk to Jia Rong anymore, just asked Jia Rong to lead him to Jia Zhen.

Caiyuan heard the continuous sound of chanting sutras in the side room, and when he entered the main room, he saw Youshi and several nuns talking.

Qin Zhong recognized that old nun as Jingxu of Shuiyuean.Jia Rong introduced their identities in a low voice, and she knew that the two little nuns were Jingxu's apprentices Zhitong and Zhizhi.

They were invited by Ningguo Mansion to chant scriptures and copy scriptures, and the voices chanting scriptures in the front room were Jingxu's other disciples.

Qin Zhong greeted Youshi.

You Shi didn't delay, and greeted Qin Zhong: "Master seems to know that you are coming, but today he is awake and talking about you, go in and talk to Master!"

Jia Zhen talking about me?
Qin Zhong thought he was not familiar with Jia Zhen, and had hardly met Jia Zhen a few times.At present, Jia Zhen's favorability is only 7 points.

At that moment, Youshi's face was full of sadness, he just thought that Youshi was talking about the scene.Jia Rong paid careful attention to the old nun Jingxu and Zhitong Zhizhi. The old nun Jingxu performed a Buddha ceremony with him, but Zhitong also concentrated his breath like a Buddhist monk, but Zhitong had a pair of bright and bright eyes. His big eyes were staring at him.

Zhizhi'er is also born charming, even though she is wearing a plain white robe, she can't hide her graceful figure.In the bright eyes of the delicate and bright little nun, there is still a ray of longing for the secular world outside the Buddhist gate.

She chanted 'Amitabha Buddha' softly and lowered her head slowly.

Qin Zhong secretly sighed, "No wonder Qin Zhong in the original book would have a tryst with her to make peace."After sighing, without thinking about it, just entered the sick place where Jia Zhen was sick with Jia Rong.

The little nun secretly raised her eyes, and waited until Qin Zhong's figure disappeared before saying silently: "Is he the omnipotent Uncle Zhong that Second Master Bao said?"

The fragrance of medicine filled Jia Zhen's sick place.

Qin Zhong went in, only to see two little maids waiting inside, and there was no one else among them.No sound from outside could be heard inside, so it was considered quiet and undisturbed.

Look at Jia Zhen, who is lying on the bed at this time, covered with a thin brocade quilt.Jia Zhen's face was pale and bloodless, she was emaciated, and the beard on her chin was also messed up.Needless to say, the hair was not fine, it was loose and messy, and looked like a black gourd on the top of the thin head.

Jia Zhen muttered in a vague voice.

It was only after careful identification that Qin Zhong heard the word "Jingqing".

Now Jia Zhen really doesn't have the air she had when she met last year.Qin Zhong saw Jia Zhen struggling as if she was about to get up, and said, "Quickly don't get up, if Master Zhen has something to do, just give orders."

He hastily walked two steps over, found a place to sit inside Jia Zhen's Babu bed, and said, "Why are you so skinny!"

Jia Rong in the room ordered the maidservants to say: "Pour tea quickly, Jingqing has not had tea yet when she enters the mansion."

Jia Zhen moved her body with difficulty. The pain really made it difficult for him to move, and every breath was a sharp inhalation.In the quiet room, the sound of breathing was exceptionally clear.

Qin Zhong said with pity: "Does it hurt? Don't move!"

Jia Zhen nodded and stopped moving.Just looking at Jia Rong, there was a trace of melancholy in the pained expression, and he barely supported himself and said:

"I knew Jing Qing was promising, but unfortunately the two families couldn't get married."

Qin Zhong listened, bowed his head silently, and remained silent.

Jia Zhen said again: "It's because of Jingqing that I found a good wife for Rong'er, and the Ningguo Mansion will be able to support her in the future. It's a pity that I'm not blessed. Rong'er just got married, and I didn't see him giving birth to a wife. Having suffered such a crime, Rong'er is considered to be up to the mark, and even got an official title after being instructed by you, even if I went to see my ancestors this year, I would not be shameless. Thinking about it, it was all thanks to Jingqing."

Listening to what he said, Qin Zhong felt no complacency in his heart.

Even if Jia Zhen's favorability degree +13 was prompted in his mind, he remained silent.Just because he thought of his parents in the previous life, when...

They must have been very sad then!The separation between man and nature is always sad.But they haven't left any thought for them, not even a grandchild.

Qin Zhong thought about it for a while, but then thought of Qin Ye again.Qin Ye is not young now, and in a few years he will be seventy.Although the relationship between him and Qin Ye is not close, but after all, father and son have the kindness of nurturing. I don't know if Qin is thinking about hugging his grandson now?

There were a lot of thoughts in his mind, and after a while, he said lightly: "It's all what I should do."

It's just... I don't know if it is good or bad for Ningguo Mansion to lure Xia Jingui to Ningguo Mansion!
However, Jia Zhen thinks it is good, so it should be considered a good thing.

But Jia Zhen didn't seem to hear it, and started talking about Jia Rong to herself, criticizing Jia Rong for her incompetence.

Qin Zhong pretended not to hear it, and even though what Jia Zhen said was true, Jia Zhen was the root cause of Jia Rong's weak temperament.What's the use of blaming Jia Rong for not being able to support family affairs now?

What kind of thing is it that children are not educated well when they are young, and they only dislike them when they grow up?

Furthermore, from Qin Zhong's point of view, Jia Rong may not be able to support the important affairs of the family.Maybe Jia Rong was controlled by Xia Jingui everywhere in the internal affairs, but without Jia Zhen's suppression in the external affairs, maybe she can really take on the heavy responsibility.

While the odds are slim, it's not impossible!

Qin Zhong just listened, but Jia Zhen suddenly changed the topic to him.

Jia Zhen coughed twice, and a little maid hurriedly brought soup to drink, and then ate two strange fruits from the far south.He continued: "I can't eat too much anymore, I only rely on these to nourish my tongue, and I think I don't have many days left."

When Jia Rong over there heard these words, the tears flowed down unconsciously.Although Jia Rong often complained about all kinds of things in the past, she is really sad now.

After all, Qin Zhong has experienced life and death, and has quietly entered the scene of the previous life.Immediately affected by the atmosphere, I felt quite uncomfortable.

Qin Zhongdao: "Master Zhen can eat enough, so don't worry, I haven't reached the field yet. It's only been a few days, if I find a few more imperial doctors, if there is a good doctor among them, I won't be afraid anymore."

Jia Zhen nodded suddenly, laughed to herself, but grabbed Qin Zhong's hand.Said: "Jingqing has always been the most thoughtful, and our two families are also related. Now that Jingqing recognizes the second wife of the west as a godmother, it is considered closer. Although Rong'er is a few years older than you, if there is such a relationship in the future One day, Jingqing may have to give him advice."

Qin Zhong smiled helplessly.Why is it a bit like Tuogu's drama?
How close is he to the Ningguo Mansion?Jia Rong called Qin Ye uncle, which was also a polite name.

Not to mention that both Qin Zhong's biological mother and Jia Rong's biological mother have passed away for more than ten years, not to mention that their mothers were only sisters in the same family.In the same hall, how many sisters of the concubine and the concubine, how close can they be after they get married?
If Jia Zhen wants to entrust her, should she go to Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and his wife, or ask Jia Zheng?

Aren't the East and West prefectures closer?
At the moment Qin Zhong could only bite the bullet and respond, and then said a few words of comfort.Seeing that Jia Zhen had no strength to continue talking, she could only let Jia Zhen fall asleep, and then Qin Zhong and Jia Rong left the room.

The old nun Jingxu outside had already left, but Xia Jingui arrived at some point.

Qin Zhong only saw Xia Jingui's blue silk coiled, but there were not too many hairpins on his head, only a few small golden flower decorations mounted on it.On the contrary, the shiny gold and jade pendants on her ears hung next to her handsome face, making it impossible to ignore her delicate face.

Especially from the side view, she is delicate and expensive, rich and charming.

There is also a hint of the half-pure and half-style charm unique to young women.

Qin Zhong hurriedly avoided his eyes.

Xia Jingui was wearing a goose-yellow silk with a bright red border today, and she was wearing an orange-red embroidered tube top, which was quite cool.Under the half-pure and half-style rhyme, the style has added an advantage, so who would look directly at it?

Apart from……

Jia Rong, who has been dumbfounded.

Qin Zhong lowered his eyes and said hello to Xia Jingui, and Xia Jingui got up and returned in a dignified manner.It's just that no one noticed the difference in the color of the light in Xia Jingui's eyes.

Only Qin Zhong could hear the voice in his head:

[Xia Jingui favorability +13, Yangshou increased by 13 days (current favorability: 33)]

In this way, Qin Zhong's heart suddenly raised.

Every time Xia Jingui's favorability increased inexplicably, but it was neither high nor low, which made people worry.

Of course, even if Xia Jingui's favorability is extremely high, like Wang Xifeng and others, he would still be worried.Worrying about whether this woman will evolve into a sickly girl is really terrible.

After Jingui asked about Jia Zhen's condition, she said in a worried voice, "Uncle..."

PS: It's past 12 o'clock before you know it, alas... Then, let's go five days a million!
