Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 10 First meeting, Wang Xifeng【For further reading】

Ping'er came back after inquiring, and told Second Grandma, "It's the young master of the Qin family."

"Which Qin family?"

"The Qin family in Qinghe Town has something to do with our family. His master's name is Qin Ye, and he is an official with the second master. He is currently a sixth-rank Yingshuo. More than ten years ago, this master Qin adopted a family from the Yangshengtang. The daughter is the one who was unsuccessfully hired by the Dongfu a few days ago. Master Qin has a son later, he is Mr. Qin, and it was he who gave Dongfu the idea to go to the Xia family to talk about marriage."

"Something related? Is it someone's relative?"

Ping'er didn't know about this question.

A woman next to her was afraid that Wang Xifeng would ask again, so she whispered anxiously: "Grandma, don't inquire any more, because you will get involved with the wives and grandmas who have long been lost in the two houses."

Wang Xifeng let out a light snort.

The eyebrows of the two curved willow leaf hangings moved lightly, and a pair of red phoenix eyes were slightly slanted.

Think for a moment.

Then I know what my mother-in-law said:
The long-lost wife refers to the original wife of Jia She, the great master of the West Mansion;
The long-lost grandma refers to Jia Rong's mother who died long ago in the East Mansion.

Wang Xifeng's vermilion lips parted slightly.

"So they are their relatives. Isn't the brother of the Qin family a distant cousin who turned a corner? Do you know his name?"

…………

Jia Baoyu went home as a teacher in the first half of the year, and now he is reviewing old books at home.

It happened that the chrysanthemums were in full bloom in the garden these two days, and it was Wang Xifeng's birthday, so Sister Feng greeted her and drank flower wine to visit the garden.

Baoyu thought of Qin Zhonglai, so he wrote the post.

I got a reply yesterday and know that Qin Zhong is coming today.

So he asked people to wait outside the west corner door early.

At this time, Qin Zhong had already entered the city.

Qin Zhong in the car peeked out through the screen window.

The prosperity of its streets and the abundance of people in Fu are not comparable to that of Qinghe Town.

And for a while.

Suddenly, there are two big stone lions squatting on the north side of the street, and three gates with animal heads. In front of the gates are sitting a dozen or so people in splendid clothes.

The main door is not open, only the east and west corners are used for people to come in and out.

There is a plaque above the main entrance, with five characters in the big book "Decree to build Ningguo Mansion".

As a native of China, Qin Zhong had a natural liking for this kind of Chinese-style ancient buildings.

Even from a 21st century soul.

I also have to sigh with emotion, it is indeed magnificent.

he was thinking.

The carriage continued westward.Not far away, there are still three gates.

This is Rongguo Mansion.

Qin Zhong also knew some rules, so he just got out of the car and led his entourage to the west corner gate with presents.

Submit a brief note.

Suddenly, a well-dressed seventeen or eighteen-year-old male servant came up.He led him into the mansion and went straight to where Baoyu was.

"Qing Jing can be counted."

Baoyu greeted warmly.

When she saw Qin Zhong's figure clearly, the expression on Yuanyuan's face was shocked, and she was in a daze for a while.

Only thinking in my mind:

Although Jing Qing is not dressed in gorgeous clothes, she is full of vigor, but it is even more powerful than when they met that day.

I am far inferior!

[Jia Baoyu's favorability +1, Yangshou increased by 1 days]

What the hell!

what happened?

Increase your favorability when you meet?
Qin Zhong looked at Baoyu for a while, always feeling strange in Baoyu's eyes.

He hurriedly asked someone to bring the small gift from autumn.

Said: "I didn't count the generous gifts when I came to the door today. I had to pick some seasonal fruits from the farm, as well as home-made desserts such as rose cakes and osmanthus cakes."

Baoyu didn't even glance at what was brought.

Stretching out his hand towards Qin Zhong, he opened his mouth and said:
"It's really something fun, just what I want. Good brother, serve Jingqing tea quickly, and let's talk about the fruit snacks that Jingqing brought."

[Jia Baoyu's favorability +1, Yangshou increased by 1 days]

Qin Zhong panicked.

He even wondered if something was wrong.

Favorability must have risen too fast.

Moreover, Xiaopangzhi's eyes seem to be drawn...

Very wrong!
Qin Zhong was numb from the sight, so he quickly changed the topic and asked something that ruined the atmosphere.

"Second Master Bao has been beaten in the past two days?"

Little Fatty was taken aback for a moment, then grinned triumphantly and said, "Master has gone to work in Qinghe Town these days, so he has no time to take care of me."

Qinghe Town?
Qin Zhong raised his eyebrows.

What business do the officials from the Ministry of Industry go to Qinghe Town for?

Baoyu said with a slightly sad face: "I'm afraid that if I pass by, I will be bumped into by the master, so I can only miss Jingqing at home."

uh~~
Qin Zhong choked his neck.

It never occurred to him that Baoyu could involve him in everything.

Fortunately, Baoyu didn't have any other strange behaviors.

Only then did Qin Zhong feel relieved.

otherwise……

He would rather not have Jia Baoyu's favorability than stay any longer.

In Ningguo Mansion, Jia Rong heard that Qin Zhong was coming.Bringing small gifts non-stop, Pidian gave Wang Xifeng a gift and was about to run away.

Wang Xifeng accepted the gift and remembered something again.

Then he called out of the window: "Brother Rong is back."

A few people outside answered, "Master Rong, come back soon."

Jia Rong hurriedly turned around and stood with her hands down, listening to any instructions.

"Where are you going in a hurry?" Wang Xifeng glared at him.

Jia Rong just told him and Baoyu about inviting Qin Zhong to the mansion for a talk.

Jia Rong is an idiot after all, under Wang Xifeng's careful questioning.

He actually recounted some of Qin Zhong's words about Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen to Wang Xifeng.

It made Wang Xifeng even more curious, and even wanted to see Qin Zhong.

Jia Rong was in a hurry now.

"Although Jingqing is considerate in her actions, she is also extraordinary in spirit. But I have never seen a big battle, and I am afraid that I will offend my aunt."

Wang Xifeng stared, "Whatever he is, I want to see him too! Don't let your mother fart, don't show me again, I will give you a good mouth."

Jia Rong secretly looked at Sister Feng's face, and said, "Jingqing will be with Uncle Bao, and I can't bring him here."

Wang Xifeng didn't talk nonsense either.

Just take Ping'er and go to Baoyu with Jia Rong.

The three of them had just arrived outside Baoyu's room when they heard Qin Zhong's voice coming from inside.

"Which one is not difficult in the world? Second Master Bao only wants to be happy for himself, how long can he be happy? How many young brothers in Ningrong and Rongfu are able to take care of things?"

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng immediately stopped Jia Rong.

Make a silence gesture.

Look sideways through the window.

I saw a boy of eleven or twelve years old who was slightly thinner than Baoyu sitting in the room.

She was born with delicate features, pink face and vermilion lips, handsome figure, and elegant demeanor, surpassing Baoyu.

Seeing him whispering and laughing again, he said gracefully:
"Er Bao, don't blame Mr. Zheng for his strict discipline. I can see that in Rongguo Mansion, there is no one who can support things. Second Mistress Dulian has worked hard to take care of it, so that you can be at ease as men."

These words can be said to have entered Wang Xifeng's heart.

interesting,
This distant cousin from the Qin family was able to explain the situation in the mansion for the first time when he came to the mansion.

But Baoyu said at this time: "Needless to say, the east side is all managed by Brother Zhen. The foreign affairs in the west side are managed by the master and the elder master, and the second brother Lian is not idle, so I don't need to worry about anything."

"What can the two masters do?" Qin Zhong asked back.

With a joking look on his face, he continued:
"Master Zheng never cares about family affairs when he comes back from work. The elder master is always happy, so he only cares about antiques and maidservants. Although the second master Lian is also in charge, the errands are all ordered by the masters. Foreign affairs are not good, but internal affairs Worrying. The hope of the Rongguo Mansion depends entirely on the Second Master Bao!"

When Wang Xifeng heard this, the eyebrows of the two curved willow leaf hangings were raised, and Danfeng's eyes were shining.

I agree with Qin Zhong's words very much.

How could she, as the housekeeper grandma, not know about the attitude of Rongguo Mansion?
Everyone is looking forward to Baoyu's success!
Looking at Qin Zhong's eyes, there was a hint of appreciation.

Thinking to myself:

If the young master of the Qin family can persuade Baoyu to make progress, Rongguo Mansion can be regarded as a successor.

Baoyu pouted and said, "In addition to Brother Lian, there are Brothers Cong and Brother Huan, and there is also Brother Lan in the younger generation."

"Master Cong and Lord Huan, what kind of character are they? Second Master Bao knows better than me. As for Brother Lan, has Second Master Bao ever considered people's hearts? Second Master Bao enjoys the exclusive favor at home, and Grandma Zhu and Brother Lang are living side by side now." Yiyu, will they really be willing to be next to Rongguo Mansion in the future?"

People's hearts? !
Wang Xifeng was startled when he heard it.

She is a master at manipulating people's hearts, how could she not understand what Qin Zhong said?
"At such a young age, I actually understand these principles. It's really..."

Wang Xifeng sighed secretly:

"Only one thing, he was wrong. Rongguo Mansion has never treated Li's mother and son badly in any way!"

But it didn't affect him, Wang Xifeng was delighted to see him.

It's a pity that Baoyu couldn't bear to listen at this time.

Evasively suggested, "Don't talk about these annoying things, let's enjoy the chrysanthemums in the back!"

Qin Zhong's eyes lit up, Baoyu wanted to reward real chrysanthemums.

In the room, he always felt uncomfortable.

Might as well go out for a walk.

At this time.

There was a burst of laughter outside:
"I heard that there is a distinguished guest at home, but I can't see you... Is Brother Bao in the room?"

Qin Zhong heard the sound and turned his head to look.

I saw Jia Rong enter the room first, followed by a lady of eighteen or nineteen years old.

She is dressed in colorful embroidery, like a concubine or fairy;

A pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow-leaf hanging eyebrows, slender body, coquettish physique, more mature and charming than Keqing.

Jia Rong introduced, "This is my second aunt."

Needless to say, Qin Zhong also knew that it was Wang Xifeng who came.

The romantic aura in Wang Xifeng's body is not something that ordinary women can have.

He hurriedly got up and saluted.

But it sounded in my mind:

[Wang Xifeng favorability +5, Yangshou increased by 5 days]

[Wang Xifeng favorability +1, Yangshou increased by 1 days]

[Wang Xifeng favorability +1, Yangshou increased by 1 days]

[Wang Xifeng favorability +1, Yangshou increased by 1 days]

……

Qin Zhong was in a trance,
Wang Xifeng actually came over, leaned forward and took his hand, and sat beside him.

Ask him slowly:

"How old are you? What books do you read? How many brothers do you have? What's your scientific name?"

Qin Zhong's face slowly turned red.

It was the first time being treated like a child.

I especially feel the softness and smoothness of Wang Xifeng's hands, and...
