Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 51 Entering the Qin Mansion and looking for Qin Keqing (Please collect and read)
Su Ran stayed at the Ministry of Industry for a while longer before leaving alone.

During this period, several heads of the household department also came up to congratulate Emperor Qingyong.

Although Emperor Qingyong just said that he didn't want to hear Su Ran's flattery, the Ministry of Industry official's rainbow fart still made Emperor Qingyong feel very comfortable.

These Ministry of Household Affairs officials also took this opportunity to get acquainted with Su Ran briefly.

Among them, there is Qin Ye, the director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

Qin Ye does look quite old, with a head full of gray hair and deep wrinkles on his face, but his eyes are particularly bright.

Seeing Su Ran, he just smiled lightly without saying much.

It can be seen from this that Qin Ye is relatively honest among the officials of the Ministry of Industry, at least on the surface it seems so.

After leaving the palace, Su Ran walked all the way to Qin Ye's house.

Although I have never been here before, it is not difficult to find out where an official lives in the capital.

After all, all the local officials, big and small, unless they were feudal officials or those in charge of tea and salt, all yearned to be officials in the capital.

And whether they want to join this circle or want to take themselves a step further, they have to go to the capital frequently.

Sometimes it may be just a small eunuch, or a fourth or fifth grade imperial official, but it is very likely that he will have hands and eyes that can reach the sky.

Qin Ye is in charge of the construction and repair of the royal palace and mausoleums, and has considerable power.

Therefore, there are naturally not a few people who know him.

As for whether he is as honest as he seems, it is unknown.

But judging from the fact that he married his adopted daughter Qin Keqing to the Jia family in the Red Mansion, Qin Ye is not as indifferent to fame and fortune as he seems.

When Su Ran arrived at Qin Mansion, it was already noon.

The sunshine outside is very good, and it makes people feel warm.

Qin Ye was just a camp guard, and there were no guards at the door, only a servant who looked after the door.

Still, there's something wrong with an unannounced visit.

Therefore, Su Ran is more inclined to walk around the wall.

In his opinion, it is better to climb over the wall than to knock on the door. After all, we are also serious people and never do anything illegal, so some red tape can be avoided.

At this moment, Su Ran had arrived at the back house of the Qin family.

There was no one outside the house, only an old servant was pruning flowers and plants.

Su Ran did not interrupt his work, and found a place where someone lived in a few seconds.

However, the person living here is not a woman, but a boy of about ten years old.

The young man was handsome, wearing a feather-lined crepe robe, and was practicing calligraphy in his study.

Su Ran's sudden appearance obviously stunned the young man.

He put down the langhao pen in his hand and looked at Su Ran with curiosity in his eyes: "Who are you? Why did you come to my house?"

At this moment, Su Ran was also guessing about the identity of the young man in front of him.

According to Cao Gong, apart from Qin Ye, the only other man in the Qin family is his son Qin Zhong.

This young man can practice calligraphy in the study and is dressed like an official. He must be Qin Zhong.

I came to find his sister by myself, but unexpectedly I met him.

But now that he has encountered it, he can't just run away.

Otherwise, it would be bad to be regarded as a bad guy by this young man.

Thinking of this, Su Ran smiled and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that I know who you are?"

As soon as the young man heard this, he turned around and sat on the chair behind the desk, looking at Su Ran with shining eyes: "Then tell me who I am?" Su Ran pretended to think for a moment and walked back and forth in front of the young man. Then he pointed at the young man's nose and said, "You are the son of the Qin family, your name is Qin Zhong, right?"

"How do you know? Are you my father's friend?" The young man was obviously a little surprised that Su Ran knew his name. He immediately jumped out of his chair and ran to Su Ran's side.

Seeing this, Su Ran smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I am your father's friend. What? He is out?"

"Yes, my father went to the ministry early in the morning. If he hasn't come back at this time, he must be delayed." Qin Zhong looked at Su Ran and said.

"Then I won't disturb Young Master's calligraphy practice. I'll wait for him outside." Su Ran made an excuse and was about to leave to find Qin Keqing.

However, this Qin Zhong was obviously not a man who liked reading, so he pulled Su Ran and asked him to play with him.

When Su Ran saw this attitude, he couldn't refuse directly, so he had to tell him a few stories.

Of course, these stories are all his true experiences in northern Xinjiang, but to an official like Qin Zhong who has never experienced human suffering, they feel very fresh.

After Su Ran finished telling the three stories, Qin Zhong still wanted to hear them.

In desperation, he had to tell some other strange people and stories.

It wasn't until Su Ran threatened him that his father was coming back soon and asked him to practice calligraphy that Qin Zhong let Su Ran leave.

After getting rid of Qin Zhong, Su Ran went straight to the west wing of Qin Mansion.

The east chamber has been searched, but now only the westernmost room remains.

If it is true as Li Quanzhong said, if Qin Ye has a daughter, she should be in that room.

Su Ran came outside the west wing, pushed the door gently, and found that it was not locked.

However, in order to avoid seeing the embarrassing scene, Su Ran still knocked on the door.

Not long after, a delicate voice came from inside: "Who is it? Is it Xiao Zhong?"

Su Ran heard the sound and said nothing. Soon, she heard light footsteps and the sound of jingling rings coming from inside.

Hearing this movement, Su Ran's heart suddenly rose to her throat.

Does Qin Ye really have a daughter?

But, this... isn't this a little too incredible?
Just when Su Ran was at a loss, the door creaked open from the inside.

The next moment, a radiant young woman with bright, charming, graceful and delicate appearance, bright eyes and white teeth, walked out of the room.

When Su Ran saw the woman, she suddenly froze on the spot.

Although he had only seen the hazy silhouette of the woman in black at night on the southwest front, Su Ran was certain that the woman in front of him was definitely the same person as her.

In particular, the special fragrance of the woman in front of him was exactly the same as the fragrance of the woman in black named Kanemi.

In this way, it became obvious that the woman in front of her was a beauty.

Otherwise, the whole thing cannot be explained at all.

After thinking about this, Su Ran stepped forward and grabbed the hand of the woman in front of her, and pushed her into the room.

"You...what do you want to do?" The woman was obviously frightened by Su Ran's rude behavior.

"Kenmei, didn't we agree? When I return to Beijing, you will come find me." Su Ran looked into the woman's eyes and said.

"Who are you?" The woman pushed Su Ran away, her eyes full of panic, "Get out quickly, or I'll call someone."

"I'm Su Ran, don't you recognize me?"

"You...get out of here quickly, I don't know you! I'm not a Jianmei, I'm Qin Keqing."

Su Ran: "..."
