King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 348 I, Zhu Shisan, can’t hold the knife anymore?
After bidding farewell to his brother, Baochai entered the palace gate. Before he had gone far, he ran into Deng An.

"Eunuch Deng, are you leaving so early?"

"Meet Miss Xue!" Deng An saluted politely, without the arrogance of two days ago.

"By the order of the Thirteenth Lord, go out of the palace to do something!"

Deng An left the palace two days ago, and none of the brothers and sisters of the Qin family came back until yesterday afternoon. He had no choice but to return to the palace, and was sent out by Zhu Jinghong again today.

Naturally Baochai didn't ask what she was doing, she just smiled and said, "Is your thirteenth master here?"

"Go back to the girl, the Thirteenth Master is in Chengmingyuan, and he will go to the East Palace in an hour to worship the mountains and rivers with the Crown Prince!"

After answering these questions, Deng An asked, "Miss, do you have something to do with Lord Thirteen?"

Baochai replied: "I have something to find him!"

"The slave will not bother you, please leave!"

"Father-in-law, walk slowly!"

After the two parted, Baochai quickened her pace, fearing that Zhu Jinghong would leave early.

If she doesn't explain things clearly today, she will really feel uneasy.

When Baochai rushed to Chengmingyuan, someone had arrived before him, and it was Yang Jingting, who was also an attendant.

"Brother Thirteen, what do you think of this smell?"

In the main hall of the dormitory, Yang Jingting sat next to Zhu Jinghong, feeling the treatment of the "hostess" with a smile.

I really want to sit next to Brother Thirteen all the time... Yang Jingting looked at Zhu Jinghong who was drinking soup, and unconsciously fell into a nympho.

"Girl... girl?"

"Ah?" Yang Jingting suddenly woke up and saw Zhu Jinghong staring at her.

"How can I drink this soup if you still have the spoon in your hand?" Zhu Jinghong said, feeling speechless.

Yang Jingting looked down and saw that the spoon was in her hand, so she handed it out in embarrassment.

It was Yang Jingting's own initiative to come here to deliver soup today.

She got up early in the morning, specially ordered the imperial dining room to make soup, and brought the breakfast with the maid.

Seeing Zhu Jinghong take a sip, Yang Jingting asked: "Brother Thirteen, how are you doing?"

This soup took a lot of thought from Yang Jingting. It is mixed with various supplements and medicinal materials, and the ingredients are first-class and selected.

"Not bad, you should have a drink too!" Zhu Jinghong responded.

Seeing his mediocre response, Yang Jingting felt a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her mood. At least Zhu Jinghong gave a positive evaluation.

Just as Yang Jingting was about to introduce Tang Li's exquisiteness, the eunuch's report came from outside: "I want to report to the Thirteenth Master, Miss Xue is asking to see you outside!"

"Baochai? Why is she here?" Zhu Jinghong was surprised.

"Let her in!"

Baochai has three days off. Logically speaking, he should come back in the afternoon. It is abnormal to enter the palace early in the morning.

Why is this person so hateful, but he came when I was talking to Brother Thirteen, I'm afraid he didn't deliberately find fault... Yang Jingting was already extremely dissatisfied.

Outside the living room, Baochai also learned from the eunuch that Yang Jingting was inside at the moment. This situation also made her feel deeply uncomfortable, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

It is also because of this that Baochai will come in through the notification. If Yang Jingting is not there, she will come in directly.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, Baochai walked into the living room, and saw Zhu Jinghong sitting on the head with Yang Jingting.

Seeing Baochai's stunned look, Yang Jingting felt very comfortable, and today she finally dispelled her previous grievances.

"My maid, please pay homage to the Thirteenth Master!"

"No courtesy, get up!" Zhu Jinghong replied with a smile.

After Baochai got up, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Why did you enter the palace so early in the morning?"

"Reporting to the Thirteenth Lord, I entered the palace today... I have something important to report!" Baochai said straight to the point.

"Oh? Come and listen..."

Zhu Jinghong became more and more curious. He really didn't know what important matter Baochai could have.

As for Yang Jingting on the side, although she was extremely uncomfortable, she still smiled and said: "I don't know how important it is, so that Sister Bao doesn't even care about her family. It seems that she cares about Brother Thirteen!"

Although these words were half-joking, they really had the intention of punishing one's heart.Zhu Jinghong also recognized it, but he said calmly: "I think there is indeed something important!"

"Bao girl, please sit down and talk!" Zhu Jinghong pointed to the guest chair.

Baochai was not too polite, and after she sat down, she said: "The Thirteenth Master still remembers the girl of the Qin family!"

Hearing Baochai mention Keqing, Zhu Jinghong immediately became energetic. He had been worrying about this matter for the past two days.

Deng An, that loser, couldn't find anyone in two days, which made him want to ask Jin Yiwei to intervene.

"Do you know where she is?" Zhu Jinghong asked.

Why did another girl from the Qin family appear?Why do I know nothing?

Yang Jingting just felt extremely uncomfortable. Although she was sitting next to Zhu Jinghong, she was still an outsider compared to Baochai.

"Although I don't know where she is, I also know that she has encountered trouble recently!"

Even though he knew that the Qin family owed usury, Zhu Jinghong still asked, "What's the trouble?"

Baochai then said: "The Qin family has suffered a disaster, and now the Qin family siblings are running around trying to exonerate their father..."

"I heard that Jia Zhen of the Rongguo Mansion intends to help the Qin family, but the premise is that the two families get married again!"

"Jia's family? Help? Just rely on them?" Zhu Jinghong snorted.

Even he doesn't have this face. It's strange that the Jia family can save Qin Ye.

But in an instant, he understood Jia Zhen's intention, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

And damn, it’s Jia Zhen. Is this old boy drifting off, or is it me, Zhu Shisan, who can’t hold the knife?
With a "pop" sound, Zhu Jinghong slammed the table and shouted outside: "Here comes..."

This scene frightened Yang Jingting who was on the side, but Baochai was drinking tea calmly.

Although he only mentioned a few words, Baochai also knew that the purpose was achieved and there was no need to say more.

Within two seconds, a young eunuch rushed in, knelt down and said, "Please give me your orders, Lord Thirteen!"

"Send a message to Zhang Ping'an and ask him to bring some guards to Ningguo Mansion to bring Jia Zhen in!"

"Yes!"

Under Zhu Jinghong's fury, Yang Jingting was so frightened that she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

It was Baochai who asked, "Thirteenth Master, is it too arrogant to directly tell Jia Zhen to come in? From the Crown Princess's side..."

These words are to remind Zhu Jinghong whether it is necessary to offend the crown princess, or even indirectly offend the crown prince, for the sake of Qin Keqing.

"This is about me and Jia Zhen, it has nothing to do with my sister-in-law..."

In fact, this was not Zhu Jinghong's impromptu idea. The relationship between the three brothers has been too dull these days, so he can just use this matter to muddy the water and find something between the fourth and sixth children.

Zhu Jinghong can foresee that if the sixth child finds out that he has conflicts with Jia's family, this guy will definitely come out to support him.

At this point, even if Yuanchun is ignorant, the prince will not listen to her and break up with Zhu Jinghong because of Jia Zhen.

Therefore, in Zhu Jinghong's view, Jia Zhen's offense against Yuan Chun was nothing at all.

In fact, there is another reason. The training of the four northern guards is about to begin. Zhu Jinghong is really uneasy if he doesn't make some mistakes.

I'm so angry, but I can still think of these bad things to drive a wedge between the two elder brothers, am I a fucking bad person by nature?
After complaining to himself, Zhu Jinghong looked at Baochai and asked calmly, "Bao girl, how did you know about the Qin family?"

"Returning to Lord Thirteen, I listened to my elder brother. For this reason, he almost did something wrong. I hope Lord Thirteen will forgive me!" Baochai expressed his thoughts at the right time.

Standing up, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said, "So that's how it is... I will give you a credit today!"

Glancing at Yang Jingting who was stunned, Baochai said slowly: "I don't dare to take the credit, I just hope that the Thirteenth Lord will show more care to the girl of the Qin family, and don't let her be wronged!"

These words fell into Yang Jingting's ears, and immediately made him feel very alert, secretly sighing that there is still a girl that Zhu Jinghong cares about so much.

Yang Jingting became wary of Keqing, and Baochai successfully relieved the pressure.

"Bao girl, you sound like this...as if I have something to do with the Qin family girl!"

After Zhu Jinghong finished speaking, he heard Baochai say: "Thirteenth Master, you say this...as if you have nothing!"

Zhu Jinghong laughed, and the tacit understanding between Baochai and Yang Jingting was hit hard again.

In terms of relatives, I am closer to her, in terms of talent and learning, I am not inferior to her, and in terms of appearance, I am not inferior to her, but why is Thirteenth Brother thinking of her so much?

These words have been shouted in Yang Jingting's heart, but she still wants to pretend to be calm on the surface.
