The Red Mansions

Chapter 101 Qin Zhong
In the ancestral hall, this kind of silence didn't last long. Dai Quan rolled his eyes coldly and said, "This decree is not only for your mansion, but also for Jia Heng. Now that Jia Heng is not here, how will the miscellaneous family return to the palace? What is the intention of the government to neglect the will so much?"

Jia Amnesty's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.

Mother Jia sighed, feeling that she couldn't hold back her old face, she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't know where to start, looked at Jia Zheng at the side, and murmured: "Zheng'er..."

It was Jia Zheng who untied the old mother, and said with a complicated expression: "If you haven't come yet, go and invite the patriarch!"

As soon as this remark came out, the expression of all the men of the Jia clan, who were originally oppressive, changed, and a strange feeling appeared in their hearts.

Lin Zhixiao responded, and went with a few servants.

Jia Amnesty's face darkened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt dizzy.

Madam Xing's lips trembled, and she also supported her forehead.

Jia Zheng then thought about the expulsion of his nationality. From the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of Jia Rong. Before he could think about it, he said, "Brother Rong, take the genealogy of that just now. The old man was not sure about the expulsion of his nationality. It came from the same family. What's the hurry?"

Jia Rong was losing her mind when she heard the words, her body trembled, and she turned to look at Jia Zheng, feeling bitter and unspeakable.

On the other side, You Shi said with a gloomy expression and a complicated tone: "The genealogy is here. I am a woman from a Taoist family, and I regard things with my husband's seal. It is always a bit inappropriate. Let's leave it at that."

Jia Mu stood aside, her body trembled, and her old face was a little hot. Why did You Shi seem to be talking about her inside and outside?
Not mentioning the complex thoughts of men, women and children in Jia's mansion, but saying that Jia Heng, as soon as he left Ningguo mansion, he walked quickly towards Liutiaoer alley. After a long time, he arrived home, met his wife Qin Keqing, boarded a carriage, and brought all kinds of gifts. , heading towards the old father-in-law Qin's house.

It was around 10:30 in the morning, and the time was just right.

Just like what Jia Heng thought in the ancestral hall earlier, he preemptively fought against the members of the Jia clan and made a quick decision, but when he came back, he did not delay the business.

On the carriage, in the slightly cramped carriage, the husband and wife sat side by side.

The beauty in a red skirt, with a hint of concern on her crystal clear face, turned her eyes to look at her husband beside her, and asked, "Husband, where is the East Mansion?"

Jia Heng said: "The nationality has been removed. From then on, you and I, husband and wife, don't have to be restricted by the clan."

Qin Keqing smiled lightly, took the initiative to take the hand of the young man in green shirt, and jokingly said: "Does your husband have the feeling that the sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap?"

This is Qin Keqing's recent hobby. Since that night... Seeing her husband, who is one or two years younger than her, still looks serious and serious, she always wants to make fun of him.

Thinking about the past, Qin Keqing's snowy and pear-like face is burning like fire, what is she thinking.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and said: "I'm afraid there will be twists and turns in this matter."

How easy is it to break through the jade cage to fly the colorful phoenix, and to unlock the golden lock to escape the dragon?

With the Son of Heaven's uncompromising temperament, if he makes a decree, it is not easy for him to change his mind.

As if seeing a hidden worry in her husband's heart, Qin Keqing suppressed the inexplicable thoughts in her heart, stretched out her slender hand, and held the young man's hand tightly. Under her black eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were like water, staring at Jia Heng, as if Gives strength.

The carriage rattled and turned, and before I knew it, it had arrived at the Qin Mansion.

Li He, who was driving the car, said, "Brother Heng, we're here."

Jia Heng held his wife with his backhand, and said softly: "Here we are, let's go in."

Helping Qin Keqing down, the two entered the Qin residence together.

"Brother-in-law, sister." Letting go of the Chuihua Gate, a young man with delicate features and pink lips stood timidly under the eaves of the corridor and greeted the husband and wife with a little embarrassment.

Jia Heng smiled at Qin Keqing who was beside him, and said, "Jing Qing is still so shy."

A few days ago, I had only met Qin Zhong once when we were welcoming the bride. He was young, with red lips and white teeth, a gentle and delicate look in his eyes, and shy demeanor, like a little girl.

Thinking of the fate of the little brother-in-law in the original novel of the Red Chamber, Jia Heng's eyes froze, thinking, as long as he stayed away from Baoyu, he would not repeat the same mistakes.

Qin Keqing said softly: "Husband, Jingqing is studying in the school, but it's a mess over there. I want to find another private school for him."

Qin Keqing, the elder sister, is still very concerned about her younger brother. While talking, she walked up to Qin Zhong, patted the fallen leaves on Qin Zhong's shoulder collar, and said softly: "Where are you going, the clothes are still wearing clothes. In the dew, be careful not to catch a cold."

Qin Zhong was a little shy, and said: "Just now I went to the garden for a stroll, and the chrysanthemums were blooming there, so I took a book and walked around there."

Jia Heng: "..."

Put some irrelevant thoughts to the back of your mind, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just over, but it is the flowering period of autumn chrysanthemums, do you want to take Keqing to enjoy the chrysanthemums later?

It's not that he prefers chrysanthemums among the flowers, and there are no flowers when all the flowers bloom. He doesn't like Yuan Zhen's sad spring and autumn, but Huang Chao's song, "When September comes and September [-], I will be full of flowers after the flowers bloom." kill."

While the two siblings were talking, they were heading towards the flower hall. Qin Keqing asked Qin Zhong, frowned and said, "Where is our father? Isn't he at home?"

Qin Zhong said in a clear voice: "Father, he went to the office early in the morning. Today is not a day for rest and bathing. He will come back for dinner at noon."

At this time, Jia Heng also stepped into the flower hall to take a seat, took the tea from the servant, and now brought his new wife through the door, compared to the previous few times, his mood was very different.

Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said, "Husband, you also sit and talk with Jingqing, and I'll go to Xiulou to pack some clothes."

After all, he has a straightforward temperament, and when he returns to his own home, he will not be restrained.

Seeing Jia Heng nodding in agreement, Qin Keqing twisted Ruo Liufeng Huixue's slender waist, took the servant girl Baozhu and Ruizhu, and headed towards the Xiulou.

"Brother-in-law..." Qin Zhong looked at Jia Heng timidly, with a pair of weak eyes, like a deer, who seemed to be frightened and run away at any time.

Jia Heng smiled and nodded at him, and said softly: "I heard from your sister that you are studying at school recently?"

Seeing Jia Heng's kind tone, Qin Zhong sat down beside him and said softly, "I'm studying at Nanke Academy on the outskirts of the city with a gentleman."

Jia Heng smiled and asked, "How many books have you read?"

Qin Zhong took a peek at Jia Heng's face, and said softly, "Fang read the Analects of Confucius in the Four Books, and only studied poetry in the Five Classics."

Jia Heng nodded, and said with a smile: "The Analects of Confucius is the words of sages and sages, with small words and great righteousness, you can cultivate yourself, regulate your family, govern the country and the world. As for the Book of Songs, you can also cultivate yourself by reading more."

Qin Zhong was surprised and said: "Brother-in-law's words are exactly the same as what Mr. said."

Jia Heng couldn't help laughing, and said in a gentle voice: "These are the principles that all scholars understand. If you study for a few years, you will understand."

It was just casual greetings between brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and Jia Heng didn't say anything too formal, they just talked in general terms.

Qin Zhong suddenly asked, "Brother-in-law, will you go back tonight?"

Jia Heng put down the tea in his hand and said: "Look at your sister, your sister may stay here for one night, and I'll pick her up tomorrow."

Unlike Concubine Yuan visiting relatives, she was not even allowed to stay in Jia's mansion for one night to reunite with her parents. In ordinary people's homes, it is also possible for daughters to visit their parents at home for two days.

Qin Zhong said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

Jia Heng wanted to chat a little more with his brother-in-law, and asked about Qin Zhong's friendship with his classmates in the private school.

Qin Zhong's handsome face was obviously a little sad, "People in the school don't play with me very much, I play alone."

Jia Heng was silent for a while, thought for a while, and asked: "Then Jingqing thought about it, why did they alienate you?"

When Qin Zhong heard this, his face became bewildered, and he asked, "Why?"

Jia Heng pondered for a while, and said: "Since you have read the Analects of Confucius, you should know that the sages once said that there are three friends who benefit people. Therefore, only like-minded people can be friends. You have a good heart and a shy personality."

His little brother-in-law, with a handsome face and a shy personality, was actually an easy target for bullying in private school.

Although the brother-in-law didn't say it, he could guess some of it.

Qin Zhong's appearance, even such a "face control" as Baoyu, felt ashamed of his appearance, and said: "There are such people in the world. Now it seems that I have become a pig and a dog."

This will be in later generations, probably...be an idol.

To put it bluntly, it is a boy and a girl, too sissy.

Jia Heng thought about it, and felt that it is better to seek Qin Keqing's opinion first. If possible, Qin Zhong will learn martial arts from him in the future.

Learning martial arts can not only strengthen the body, but also temper the will, and use the strong heart of the warrior to wash away the weak temperament.

This is the case with Liu Xianglian. Xue Da fool wanted to blame Liu Xianglian, but was beaten to his knees and called grandpa.
