Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 98 Li Wan, a tryst at night

"Fortunately, my sister-in-law still misses me, otherwise my stomach would be croaking all night tonight."

Qin Zhong saw that Li Gongcai asked the maids to put down their food, and some maids came to refill the tea.At this time, my heart was really soft, and I felt an unspeakable sense of happiness.

Li Gong sat down next to him.

She said slowly: "I heard from the servant girl that Ping'er came back during dinner, but she didn't see you. She also wanted to make troubles in the east, and was afraid that it would be difficult to take care of the food, so she asked Suyun to add more to the kitchen. It was a plan to be prepared."

Although the dishes were cold, the rice was still warm.

Qin Zhong was too hungry, he stopped saying polite words, he didn't even care about his image, and chewed.

But it was like this, Li Gongcai was fascinated when he sat beside him.It seemed that the scene was extremely warm, seeing Qin Zhong's chopsticks moving, he couldn't help reminding him with a chuckle.

"For such an adult, don't be in a hurry even if you are hungry, and be careful not to choke."

Qin Zhong ate a few mouthfuls, temporarily suppressed the crowing of frogs in his stomach, and slowed down when he heard this.He was not in a hurry at all, wishing he could spend the whole night with Li Wan.

"Let my sister-in-law stay here with me. Have you left some food? My sister-in-law should also eat some more. You just watch me eat like this, which makes me very uncomfortable."

Suyun said with a smile: "I only left two small bowls of rice in total. I've been tired and hungry for so long today. I may not have enough to eat. If it wasn't for grandma's concern that my uncle was eating alone in the hallway, it would seem deserted." Bo Lian, we are not here to accompany you."

Li Gongcai Roubo glanced at Suyun with slightly bent eyes, then turned around and explained to Qin Zhong: "Uncle cares so much about Brother Lan, so I naturally have to worry about it more. The girl Feng next door also cares about it, but she has a lot of things at hand. I don’t know how many things I have to take care of every day. Once I come and go, I read it originally, but I may not remember it when I get busy. Everyone thought that I would eat in the east, so I didn’t ask about it. "

Qin Zhong nodded, making up his mind.He tentatively said: "If my sister-in-law doesn't mind, I can ask some elder sister to add a pair of chopsticks. Let's talk while eating. You just watch me eat, no matter how thick-skinned I am, I can't eat much. At night, I have to starve gone."

After Li Gongcai heard this, he also cooperated and asked someone to add more chopsticks.After just a few sips, I stopped moving my chopsticks.

Qin Zhong smiled, and no longer insisted.

He came and went today, even though he came from Qinghe Town, and even between Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion, he took a carriage, but he also walked around a lot in the mansion.Even getting on and off the carriage, sitting in it is also very physical.

At noon, I went to drink again and didn't eat anything at all.

But Li Wan asked first, "Jing Qing will go back to Qinghe Town tomorrow?"

Qin Zhongdao: "I didn't count the overnight stay when I went out this time, I thought I'd go back this afternoon. Fortunately, I stayed overnight, otherwise I wouldn't have the opportunity to eat at my sister-in-law's place."

"Could it be that someone in the mansion abused you?" Li Wan laughed angrily, and told Qin Zhong not to eat too much meat at night, and told him to worry about overeating.

He said again: "In the past, you used to eat at the old lady's place. Today, Feng girl summoned you. I, an outsider, kindly left you a meal, but you even arranged for me."

After hearing this, Qin Zhong continued to laugh, and even deliberately said some outrageous things.

"Didn't I want to come to my sister-in-law more often? The more you walk around, the closer the relationship will be. I also think that my sister-in-law has her whole heart on Lang Geer, and I am even more worried that my sister-in-law will neglect her own happiness. I am depressed all day long. Not only will I Affecting Lang Geer's mentality, even my sister-in-law herself is not happy."

Li Wan, courtesy name Gongcai, was the grandson of Rongguo Mansion and the wife of Jia Zhu, the eldest son of the second house of Rongguo Mansion.

She is also the daughter of a famous eunuch in Jinling, and her father's name is Li Shouzhong. She once offered wine to the Imperial Academy.Li Wan was widowed at a young age, and lived in the beautiful scenery of Gaoliang. He was like a dead wood and dead ashes.

After Jia Zhu's death, Li Wan devoted all his energy to the training of Jia Lan.She is a feudal lady, a standard chaste woman, and the embodiment of women's virtue and merit.

This is the evaluation of Li Wan by others. It seems that Li Wan's life is only related to his deceased husband Jia Zhu, his father Li Shouzhong, and his youngest son Jia Lan.

Qin Zhong felt sorry for her.If Li Gongcai really only cared about Jia Lan's fame, that would not be the case, but Qin Zhong knows that Li Wan also has a beautiful yearning for youth.

Although the court officials are always chaste, indifferent, elegant and dignified, their youthful vigor may not be gone.

At least from this point of view, Li Wan has a lot more color than before.And this added color is all thanks to Qin Zhong.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong couldn't help being complacent.

He even saw Li Wan look straight in the eyes, and said sincerely: "Brother Lan's future has never been a problem, and I also assured my sister-in-law that I will not ask Lan Geer to bury the lintel of the Rong Mansion, nor pollute the Qingming of the Li family. Sister-in-law can pay more attention to herself in the future, Master Zhu has a spirit, and I can't bear to see how depressed my sister-in-law is."

Li Gongcai stayed silent for a while, looking at Qin Zhong like this, he seemed to see someone whose face was gradually blurred in his memory.

That person is persuading her!

[Li Wan's favorability +3, Yangshou increased by 3 days (current favorability: 80)]

Gong Cai opened his mouth slightly, and all the grievances in his heart over the past few years flooded up at once.

There is no one who does not want to be happy and at ease.But within this high wall, although a widowed mother is much taken care of by her elders, she can't live her own colors.

Therefore, what she envied the most was Feng girl next door.

Feng girl is so comfortable and beautiful, not only won the love of the old lady, but as the daughter-in-law of the big house, she even takes care of the internal affairs of the second house; moreover, she is so independent in everything, she often does it willfully.

If Uncle Zhu is still there, how can it be Feng girl's turn to be the head of the second bedroom?
If Uncle Zhu is still there, even if Second Master Lian will take over the title in the future, she will not have the slightest envy for Feng girl.

Even though she didn't really desire to be ordered to be in charge of the inner house, but if Master Zhu couldn't get his ancestral shade, he would still be able to earn it.

For a moment, her soft eyebrows became moist.The eyes were crystal clear and juicy, and two lines of bright and clear tears poured down from the delicate cheeks without any makeup.

Seeing this, Qin Zhong became anxious.

He didn't expect that Li Wan would burst into tears, put down his chopsticks and went to her side, and he didn't know whose handkerchief he took from, so he wanted to wipe Li Wan's tears.

Seeing Qin Zhong's flustered manner, Li Wan couldn't help but let out a coquettish voice, laughing while weeping.

"What nonsense."

When the voice fell, she realized that this would be too intimate.

In private, lonely men and widows, uncles and widows, still have to keep a distance.

However, for some reason, for the first time, a different emotion appeared in my heart.That coquettish and shy look, there is not even half of it pretending.

When she saw Qin Zhong's clumsy and serious expression, her heart skipped a beat.Turning her face sideways, she allowed Qin Zhong to wipe away the tears on her face with a handkerchief.

A little strange atmosphere arises spontaneously.

Seeing this, the servant girl Suyun's face turned pale, but she didn't dare to make a sound, so she asked Biyue to guard the corridor door of Mrs. Wang's corridor in a low voice.Suyun herself also pretended not to see her, and lowered her head to guard the gate in the hallway.

Not to mention Li Gongcai at the moment, let alone Qin Zhong's mind is getting hotter.In particular, seeing Li Wan's quiet and elegant face close in front of him, his breath gradually warmed up.

The heat that Xia Jingui provoked in the east just now resurfaced at this moment, even more vigorously.

He boldly took the hand of the court official, and sat down close to each other, the silk in his hand gently sliding on Li Wan's face.

"It's me talking nonsense. If you don't cry, I won't wipe it."

Li Wan did not shed tears because of this.The tears came so strangely that even Li Wan himself didn't understand why his eyes were red.

It's just that when Qin Zhong said that he should be kind to himself, he couldn't help it.

Maybe she has suffered too much grievance these years, and has been suppressing her heart all the time, but no one has ever told her about it!

But at the moment when Qin Zhong held his hand, Li Gongcai had goosebumps all over his body again, his bones seemed to have been drained.In an instant, he blushed again. He didn't know whether he should push Qin Zhong away and scold him for being rude or presumptuous, or whether he should just be held like this?

She felt that it was inappropriate for a man to hold her hand.

Since she became an adult, the only men she has had contact with are Jia Zhu, Baoyu, and Lang Geer.

Jia Zhu was a husband, but he died young.Lang Ge'er is a parent and child, and he is also young.Even now that Baoyu is occasionally pestering her, seeing that Baoyu has grown older in the past two years, she has gradually avoided suspicion, let alone Qin Zhong, a man with a foreign surname who just recognized his wife as a relative.

The poems and books she has read since she was a child, and the etiquette education she has received, did not say that this is okay.

"Uncle, I'm going to make the maids laugh." Li Wan said hastily, but finally broke free and took the handkerchief from Qin Zhong's hand, and wiped it himself.

After all, she is not Wang Xifeng's temperament.

In the past, she always thought that Feng girl and Qin Zhong were too close, but she never talked about other people's affairs.

Li Wan was not as enthusiastic and enthusiastic as Wang Xifeng, let alone as bold and presumptuous as Wang Xifeng.She also knew that Feng girl had always been very close to Qin Zhong, she really treated Qin Zhong as her own brother.

But she didn't think that way, the more she thought about it, the more polite she felt.

Seeing Qin Zhong next to each other at this meeting, he was even more uncomfortable, and his mind was flying wild.

He even had an unspeakably ashamed weird idea, but unfortunately no one knew about it, only that delicate face became more and more rosy.

Thoughts were spinning, and finally I came up with a self-comforting statement: I also see him as a brother.

Therefore, Li Wan was a little less ashamed.

Qin Zhong didn't know that so many thoughts came to her head in the blink of an eye, she just said: "I care about my sister-in-law who is considerate, what are they to laugh at. Brother Lan also values ​​filial piety the most, and I want my sister-in-law to not be happy, Brother Lan My son also has a lot of distracting thoughts in pursuit of knowledge and studies."

"You'll just use him as an excuse."

Li Wan said suddenly, not knowing what he was thinking, and his neck gradually turned red.

In Qin Zhong's eyes, she is really charming.

Qin Zhong's heart was already howling like a wolf, and his state of mind was like a turbulent wave hitting the shore.Seeing that Suyun and Biyue didn't look at this place, they thought they had already reached 80 likings, but at the stage of first reaching love, righteousness, and close relatives, he boldly stretched out his hand again.

"I'm using him as an excuse. I also want Brother Lan, and of course my sister-in-law too."

He sat sideways and took Li Wan's hand with both hands again. Li Wan was obviously startled, but he didn't feel that Li Wan wanted to break free again.

Seeing the changes in Li Wan's expression, there was shame, embarrassment, panic, and fear, but he was not annoyed at all.

Qin Jingqing was secretly overjoyed, just hold on tightly.The body moved a little closer, and the legs were touching the legs.

But he didn't look like a lecher on his face, he found a reason and said: "I have known my sister-in-law since last year, and I feel very amiable. Today I saw my sister-in-law standing next to my sister, and here I am. After a meal, I found out that my sister-in-law and my sister are kind, kind, gentle and quiet."

Li Gongcai hummed in a daze, and didn't even hear what Qin Zhong said clearly.

But Qin Zhong continued: "So I also think about how happy my sister-in-law will be in the future, just like I think about how happy my sister will be."

The palace judge heard this clearly.

Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "So that's the case, so I said how can a person like him have evil intentions."

Thinking about it again, it's just holding hands like this, should...shouldn't it be considered impolite? !
Li Wan thought for a moment, but still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.Whether you have evil intentions or not, the appearance of this meeting is not normal.

She changed the subject and said, "Do you still want to eat? It's getting late, and all the outside doors were closed when Mo went out."

Qin Zhong was not in a hurry, it would be better if all the doors were closed.It means that the masters of Rongguo Mansion have rested, and the maids and women will not move around anymore, wouldn't it be more comfortable?

"I don't want to eat, I just want to talk more with my sister-in-law."

He doesn't want to eat this, but wants to eat something else.Then he muttered: "Although my sister-in-law's face has become more colorful these days, she is more like a living person than before. But I think this is not enough. I just want my sister-in-law to sweep away the haze in my heart, so that Brother Lang can learn from my sister-in-law." Cheerful and bright."

Li Wan is not cheerful, nor is he as scheming as Wang Xifeng.I didn't know what to say for a while.

Qin Zhong has been paying attention to her expression all the time, knowing that today he can't get any further intimacy.But already very satisfied.Even if the flames in my heart are raging now, I am not in a hurry.

Thinking to himself that he couldn't go back to the small independent courtyard, he spent more time talking with Qin Keqing, making him sweat profusely.

If it doesn't work, let Qin Keqing spend more time talking.

Therefore, he just held Li Wan's hand and said: "Sister-in-law, just rest assured. Regardless of external or internal affairs, as long as I can help, I will do my best. Even with my wife, I can still have a way to say something." .My sister-in-law should not have any more gloomy and gloomy knots in the future."

Li Wan's body was warm and soft when he heard these heartfelt words.Although she said it verbally, she believed that if something really happened, Qin Zhong would definitely help.

Because, she has not seen Qin Zhong break his promise, but she has seen Qin Zhong's enthusiasm in Ningrong and Rongfu.

"There is nothing else to help." Li Wan said, now she only thinks about Brother Lang in her heart.Lang Geer paid homage to his master earlier, so there is no other need.

[Li Wan's favorability +1, Yangshou increased by 1 days (current favorability: 81)]

When Qin Zhong heard the voice, seeing Li Wansuli's appearance, he wanted to go up and kiss him, but he still held back.

After all, Li Wan was different from others, he decided to wait until 86, anyway, he was almost the same.

I can't say that I can hold Li Wan in my arms and teach Jia Lan a lesson!
Qin Zhong laughed secretly, and walked briskly along the north-south wide aisle, then turned into the small aisle beside Wang Xifeng's courtyard, and knocked on a small door beside the aisle.

But he didn't know that Li Wan was sitting on the bed at the moment, and there was an expression of shame on his face.

Li Wan recalled the scene of Qin Zhong getting up, and thought to himself: "He actually had evil intentions."

After reading, Li Wan blushed again, and lay down upset but couldn't fall asleep.

Besides, Qin Zhong entered the independent small courtyard, and when he learned that Qin Keqing had fallen asleep, his eyes lit up even more.

Entering the room in the garden, hurriedly silenced the precious pearl Ruizhu, and then sneaked into the bedroom behind the green screen window on the east side.
