Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 40
Just as Wang Xifeng was about to explain, Baoyu went back first.

He just talked nonsense about how he knew each other and how he got involved with Ning Rong and the two houses, and then truly praised Qin Zhong's character and behavior.

Wang Xifeng also helped to say, "A few days ago, I said that I came to pay homage to my ancestors, but I didn't expect that I really came on the third day of the Lunar New Year".When she said that, Jia's mother became happy, so she asked the maid to call Qin Zhong in.

Wang Xifeng said again: "That day when he came to worship, he made an appointment with Brother Bao to go to school together, now that Brother Bao has a friend to study with, he can't make trouble anymore."

The last time Jia's mother saw Qin Zhong, she saw that he was handsome and gentle, and now she was studying with Baoyu again, and she was very happy.

After he came in and saluted, he asked Sister Feng which room she had arranged for Qin Zhong.

Jia Mu said: "Don't be next to those things who don't make progress. They will take away all the good brothers. Just live with me and Baoyu. There is no need to limit it."

Baoyu was happiest when he heard it, and felt that in addition to his sisters and sisters, he would have another companion at home.

Qin Zhong just responded, but thought to himself.

He could remember the current situation in Rongguo Mansion in the original book. Although Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun live in the small room in the Baosha behind Mrs. Wang’s courtyard, Jia Huan lives with Aunt Zhao on the east side of Mrs. Wang’s courtyard, and Li Wan and Jia Lan also live together. Behind Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

In Jiamu's courtyard, apart from Baoyu, there is also Lin Daiyu.

Even knowing that in the original book, when Qin Zhong was studying with him, he also lived in Jiamu's Courtyard, he still feels a little ups and downs when he hears it now.

I don't know if there will be a chance to look at Lin Daiyu in the future? !

It's not that I like it, but I'm curious.

After entering the world of Red Mansions, who wouldn't want to see the true demeanor of Twelve Hairpins?
Not to mention Lin Daiyu, but other characters, even Grandma Liu...

He would also look up curiously.

It's like when you meet some famous person in real life, you will always gossip and stretch your neck to take a look at his appearance.

Qin Zhong only stayed by Jiamu's side to talk, and then bowed to Mrs. Xing next to him, but unfortunately, his favorability did not increase.

He looked at Mrs. Wang's eyes again, then went to Mrs. Wang again, and said obediently: "Please be safe and auspicious, madam!"

Mrs. Wang missed Jia Zhu too much these days, and she was in a daze when she heard this voice, and almost mistook her for it.He hurriedly said, "Get up, good boy, and play with Baoyu inside."

[Madam Wang's favorability degree +5, Yangshou increased by 5 days (current favorability degree: 15)]

"..."

Qin Zhong was speechless, looking at the many wives and grandmas in the room, he really didn't want to give up this great opportunity to gain favorability.

But when Baoyu heard Mrs. Wang's words, he pulled up his sleeves and said, "Let's not deal with them, go play with us inside."

Qin Zhong grinned helplessly.Regardless of whether everyone in the room knew each other or not, he cupped his hands facing each other and said, "Good luck, wives and grandmas! Prosperity and success, all the best."

As soon as he spoke, he was dragged away by Baoyu.

At the right time, Mrs. Wang Ziteng gave Wang Xifeng a wink.

After a while, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang Ziteng had a secret conversation.

"Your elder brother wrote back a letter, in which he mentioned the child of the Qin family." Mrs. Wang Ziteng said gracefully.

Mrs. Wang said happily, "What do you say, brother?"

"It's hard to guess the holy will. It's good to treat the children of the Qin family with a normal heart. They are amiable and distant. Other things, pretend not to know." Mrs. Wang Ziteng said in a low voice.Recently, the situation in the court is not clear, and although Wang Ziteng was promoted to the control of the nine provinces, he was transferred away from the capital. It seems that there are two forces secretly pulling.

"..."

In the room over there, it turned out that Jia Baoyu got a big Mo Naihe toy during the Chinese New Year, and he was going to test Qin Zhong with it.

Qin Zhong didn't understand, so when he entered the house, he realized that it was a Kongming twelve-square lock with a wooden tenon and tenon structure.

There are not many children's toys in this era, among which the most popular ones are Kong Mingsuo, Tangram, and Nine Links.

The so-called Zipin Kong Mingsuo, women untie the Nine Chains.

If you are a friend of the same sex, you like to use Kong Mingsuo and the like to test your "difficult" companions to show your intelligence.

If they are childhood sweethearts, they will solve the Nine Links to increase the fun in the boudoir.

Now Baoyu is only eleven or twelve years old, just at the age of fun, and he is even more fond of puzzle-solving toys such as Kong Mingsuo and Jiulianhuan.

Qin Zhong was absent-minded about this.

He solved this thing and fought it hard, but he didn't hear Jia Baoyu say "You are amazing!".

Without the addition of this sentence, even if Jia Baoyu gained a little favorability, it would feel a little less meaningful.

Jia Baoyu's favorability score is 33, which is as high as Wang Xifeng's!
Today, I went to Jia's house to harvest six points, and the jungle mission was completed, and it would take another six days.

Qin Zhong intends to go home, but Baoyu is still in high spirits.

He said: "It's late today, I should go back. When you want to play, I'll send someone a better wooden toy."

Baoyu asked, "When will Jingqing come again?"

Qin Zhong calculated the time, and it must be after the Lantern Festival.He and Baoyu left the room, and then bid farewell to Jia Mu, and got the respect of Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng urged again.

……

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan, Yangshou has 913 days left.

The Lantern Festival is the beginning of a year's spring, and people who have been dormant all winter begin to go out for activities, which is more lively than the Spring Festival.

That night, inside and outside the city of Shenjing, from the imperial palace to the courtyards of the common people, all were lit with lamps and torches, and it was as bright as day.

On this night, women who often live in the backyard of wealthy families will also walk out of the gate, and married women will wear pale beige clothes that resemble moonlight, and they must cross every bridge.They even lined up to Zhengyangmen, stroked the copper nails on Zhengyangmen, and prayed for blessings and blessings.

There are also some people who will write hidden acrostic poems and hidden words, and stick them on the house wall, allowing visitors to guess, and there will be rewards after guessing correctly.

It's just that these things in Shenjing City have nothing to do with Qin Zhong.

On this day, he sacrificed to his ancestors and had a family banquet.The lights in the Qin mansion were lit, and Qin Zhong went to guard Qin Keqing's side.

"Sister, don't you want to go to the city to see the excitement?"

Qin Keqing glanced at him generously, the best scenery was at Qin's house, there was really no need to go outside.

Ke Qing asked: "Qing Jing, do you want to go and have a look?"

Qin Zhong shook his head and said: "I'm not interested in Laozi, I just think that my sister always stays at home all year round and doesn't have a chance to go out. If my sister wants to go, I'll go and be a flower guard."

"Slick tongue!" Qin Keqing snorted softly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Qin Zhong leaned into his sister's ear and whispered: "Sister still remembers, I want to experience it again."

spit~
Qin Keqing blushed and spat.Fortunately, these days are busy, so I can avoid Jing Jing's harassment.

But she could see that recently Ruizhu looked at Jingqing differently.Even gave Qin Zhong an angry look, he became a pervert at a young age.

She wanted to say something again, but remembered that Jingqing was going to leave in a few days, and she felt both reluctance and expectation for a moment.

She asked the old man for his opinion, and learned that the current tutor in the Jia family school is Jia Dairu, the old Confucian of today.With Qin Zhong's departure, he is sure to improve his studies and become famous, so he is very happy.

Qin Keqing looked at Qin Zhong, feeling more and more reluctant, and took the initiative to take Qin Zhong's hand.

"When I went to Jia's house in a few days, don't be criticized for speaking like this."

"Forget it." Qin Zhong replied, his eyebrows beaming, and he said again: "My sister's hands are so cold, I will rub them!"

"Let's get down to business!" Qin Keqing continued to stare at him, but he had no choice but to continue talking with Qin Zhong. "I took more than 20 taels of silver from the treasury. When you leave, I will honor the teachers of the Jia family school. I also prepared a gift to send to Lian's second grandmother. It's good that you can be taken care of by her at Jia's house."

Qin Zhong nodded.

Don't look at Qin Keqing who has never been out of the house when she is young, but she does things unambiguously.

Tell him to look at the emotion in his sister's eyes, and feel moved in his heart.

"I don't live in Jia's house all the time, but I live there for a while every few days, and I go home to visit my sister."

"Who wants you to see!" Qin Keqing said a little coyly, "Jingqing is studying at Jia's house, so he should study in one go."

Enroll in school and get a scholar.

How easy!
He didn't go to Jia's house to study.

At this time, in a place in Shenjing City, Xu Yuanyi, the former servant of the household department, smiled like a silly child.

"I get it, I get it!"
