The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 67

The next day, Mu Xu wrote letters to his father and mother in Liaodong early in the morning.In the letter, he wrote that he was engaged and that his grandmother was in good health. At the end, he wrote that he wanted to bring his concubine sister to Beijing so that she could spend more time with her grandmother.

When the letter was finished, he ordered someone to send the letter and some gifts from Beijing to Liaodong.Then he asked Yang An to pack two copies of the fur and ginseng sent from Liaodong and prepare to go to Rongguo Mansion. Just as he was about to set off, he suddenly remembered Qin Keqing, the cousin he had just met, and asked Yang An to prepare another copy.

He took Yang An and the two servants out of the mansion, and came to Rongning Street, because he had to pass through the Ning mansion first, so he went directly to see Qin Keqing first.

When he came to the gate of Ningguo Mansion, these disciples naturally recognized him because he came to pass the decree before.He didn't dare to delay, so he quickly passed it in.

After a while, the main door opened, and Jia Rong came out with the butler Lai Er.As soon as he saw Mu Xu, he apologized, "My son, forgive me, because my father is not at the house today, so I have been negligent."

Hearing Jia Rong say that Jia Zhen is not in the house, Mu Xu didn't care, "It's okay, I just came to visit my cousin today."

Naturally, Jia Rong didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly asked Mu Xu to enter through the main entrance, but Mu Xu said to go through the side door. Jia Rong had to order someone to open the side door again, and greeted Mu Xu all the way to the main hall.Invite him to sit down and order the servant girl to serve hot tea.The two casually chatted a few gossips, and saw Qin Keqing come in with her maid orb and a maid from the palace. Mu Xu got up and bowed to Qin Keqing, calling her cousin. To be called a cousin.

After sitting down again, Mu Xu looked at Qin Keqing and explained, "I'm going to Rong Mansion today, so I thought of stopping by to meet my cousin. How is my cousin recently?"

Qin Keqing smiled lightly, "Thank you for Cousin Mu's kindness. I was not used to it at first, but it's much better now." In fact, the past few days have been the happiest days Qin Keqing has lived since she married into the Ning Mansion.

Now that lustful and shameless father-in-law hides away when he sees her, Youshi doesn't dare to take money in front of her, and even entrusts himself to take care of the inner house.For her, the husband in front of her is probably the most dissatisfied. Although he has a good skin, he doesn't have the slightest role as a man.Before Jia Zhen forced her, he could only complain to himself.She sighed in her heart, that's all, now it's much better than before, how can everything go well.

Seeing her frowning slightly, Mu Xu couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with my cousin, why don't you tell me."

"There's nothing difficult. I just saw my cousin and couldn't help but think of my younger brother." Qin Keqing couldn't say that she was dissatisfied with her husband, so she had to find an excuse. She was afraid that Mu Xu wouldn't know about Qin Zhong, so she explained, " It is the son of my former adoptive father, Qin Zhong."

Mu Xu could see that what she said was a little insincere, so it was hard to ask in detail, anyway, Jia Zhen didn't dare to make up her mind anymore, so there was no need to worry about her.He had no choice but to pretend not to know Qin Zhong, Jia Baoyu's good friend, and asked, "I don't know what's wrong with him, but he made my cousin angry? Why don't you tell me, and I'll beat him up to vent my cousin's anger."

When Qin Keqing heard what he said was interesting, she burst into a "puchi" laugh, realized that it was indecent, quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and rolled her eyes at Mu Xu.

Seeing her charming appearance, Mu Xu couldn't help being stunned.

Seeing that Mu Xu didn't speak, Qin Keqing looked at him and saw that he was staring at her in a daze. She couldn't help but blushed, slightly annoyed, but more satisfied and happy.She couldn't help saying angrily, "Cousin."

When Mu Xu heard her call him, he realized that he blushed, picked up his teacup and laughed, and said, "Don't blame me, cousin, I just remembered something else." But he thought in his heart, no wonder Jia Zhen wanted to Thinking of her fate, thinking of her fate in the original book, it really is that she has been a confidante since ancient times, but luckily her fate has changed in this life.

Naturally, Qin Keqing would not be really angry with him, perhaps because Mu Xu came to pass the decree that day and saved herself in despair. She had a good impression of Mu Xu, and she felt that he was closer than Qin Zhong, even though the two of them are still in love now. Just saw the second side.

She didn't expose him, she asked with a smile. "I heard that my cousin and Aunt Lin are engaged..." She was also startled when she said this, not knowing how to count her seniority.

Seeing her like this, Mu Xu naturally came to his senses, and he waved his hand grandly, "As the so-called marrying and following your husband, you will naturally be the same as before in Jia's mansion. When she marries me, you will be your younger brother and sister."

Qin Keqing smiled, "Exactly, as my cousin said."

They were talking happily, but Jia Rong, who was on the sidelines, looked like an outsider, and no one paid any attention to him.Mu Xu was naturally too lazy to talk to him, but Qin Keqing noticed Jia Rong's embarrassment. After all, the husband and wife were together, and couldn't bear to see him embarrassed, and said immediately, "Sitting here is a bit boring, why don't my cousin accompany me to Huifang Garden for a walk. Now the crabapple flowers are blooming just right, and I have something to ask you."

Before Mu Xu could reply, Jia Rong rushed to say, "Yes, the prince is kind... It's fine for the princess to go for a walk. I'm still busy, so I won't bother you."

Seeing what he said, Mu Xu felt a burst of contempt in his heart, no wonder he was forced to become a bastard in the original book.Although he has no idea about Qin Keqing and is a cousin, he is a big man after all.After hearing what he said, he didn't refuse, and replied directly, "That's fine, then I'll go for a walk with my cousin."

Immediately, he left the main hall, chatted with Qin Keqing, walked westward for half a quarter of an hour, and came to Huifang Garden. Not to mention, the garden in Ningguo Mansion is well maintained, and now the begonias and peach blossoms are in full bloom. is good looking.

After walking with Qin Keqing for a while, Qin Keqing finally couldn't help asking, "Cousin, I asked you about my biological parents..."

Mu Xu knew that she would definitely ask himself this question, so he had already thought up his words, and noticed that Baozhu and the palace maid were several steps away, so he replied to her,

"I don't hide it from my cousin. My cousin's father is the former prince. As for my cousin's biological mother, she was a maid in the East Palace. She was kicked out by the nurse in charge just because she made some mistakes. Before she left the palace, she died. Pregnant. When the former crown prince found out, your mother had already died because of giving birth to you, and you will know the rest..."

Qin Keqing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and bowed solemnly to Mu Xu, "Thank you, cousin, for telling me the truth." Then she asked, "I don't know where my mother is buried now, I want to pay homage to her when I have time."

Mu Xu couldn't help having a headache when she heard her asking such a question, so she said, "I really don't know about this. I'll ask later and tell my cousin. If it doesn't work, my cousin can worship in the mansion, and it will be done if she wants it." Afraid She asked again, and added, "My cousin's biological mother's surname is Ma, but I don't know her name."

After hearing this, Qin Keqing said embarrassedly, "I'm causing trouble to my cousin."

Mu Xu replied naturally, "It's okay." After chatting again, Qin Keqing remembered that Mu Xu said that he was going to Rong Mansion today, so he couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Cousin, are you going to see Aunt Lin today?"

Mu Xu didn't hide anything, and told about his going to Jiangnan.Qin Keqing heard this, and hurriedly told Mu Xu to be careful on the road.At the end, he turned his eyes and said, "I haven't been to Xifu for quite a while, I'll accompany my cousin for a while, so don't think my cousin is too busy."

Mu Xu understood her good intentions, she was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to walk around the Rong Mansion's house as a foreigner, so she hurriedly said, "I don't think my cousin is troublesome, I want to thank you."

Qin Keqing immediately called for Baozhu and told her to report to Rongfu.Bao Zhu nodded and said yes, instead of going through the gate, she went directly through the small gate between the two mansions.

But in the Rongqing Hall of Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother also talked to Wang Xifeng about Jia Lian's going to the south of the Yangtze River.Mother Jia was telling Wang Xifeng to prepare some gifts for Jia Lian to bring to relatives and old friends back home in Jinling, so Wang Xifeng naturally took note of them.

While the two were talking, Yuanyang came in with the orb.Mother Jia naturally recognized Baozhu as Qin Keqing's girl, so she asked what was the matter, and Baozhu said that the son of Prince Dongping wanted to visit Rongfu with their grandmother.Mother Jia already knew that Jia Lian was going to Jiangnan with Mu Xu, so she naturally guessed that he was here to see Daiyu.It's just a little strange that he came here with Qin Keqing.She didn't think about it any more, she just ordered Yuanyang to invite Daiyu.
