Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 190 Meeting
"Master, this girl is Qin Keqing!" Feicui introduced softly in Jia Qiang's ear when Jia Qiang looked at the only strange and beautiful woman she didn't recognize.

Jia Qiang also guessed the identity of the beautiful woman. She was one of the top beauties in the Red Mansion. Most men would fall into the various amorous feelings in her eyes.

But after seeing Qin Keqing, he felt that something was strange.

Qin Keqing was engaged to Jia Rong, and he knew about it.

But it was a little unreasonable for the Qin family to send Qin Keqing directly to Jiahou Mansion.

In this era, a woman's reputation was extremely important. The Qin family sent Qin Keqing to Jia Hou's mansion. No matter what happened afterwards, Qin Keqing's reputation was linked to Jia Qiang's.

If Jia Qiang does not marry Qin Keqing, Qin Keqing will not be able to marry another one.

He remembered that Qin Keqing was an extremely mysterious woman in the world of Red Mansions. It was not only her unpredictable identity that aroused all kinds of doubts.

Qin Keqing also has another identity, that is, she is the younger sister of Fairy Jing Huan in Taixu Illusion Realm. Jia Qiang, who has read Red Mansions and read a lot of related information, naturally knows about this.

There is a deep hatred between Jia Qiang, Fairy Jinghuan and Immortal Daqian.

Disappointment flashed in Qin Keqing's eyes. She knew she was beautiful, but in front of Jia Qiang, her attitude towards her was no different from the other girls next to her.

"Master Qiang is annoyed when he sees Miss Lin and dislikes us!" Miaoyu rolled her eyes at Jia Qiang and said.

Qin Keqing was different from the women Jia Qiang had seen. She grew up in the seventh-grade Yingjilang family, and she actually had a sense of nobility and a deep sense of charm in her behavior.

When they were in Yangzhou, the big salt merchants only made small moves at most, but the targets of inspections in the north were generals with heavy troops.

She believes in Jia Qiang. In her eyes, Jia Qiang is the same person as her father Lin Ruhai. In fact, Jia Qiang is even more powerful than Lin Ruhai. In just a few years, Jia Qiang has achieved results that others cannot achieve in a lifetime.

"Master Jia Hou, my little girl will have good food and accommodation in the Marquis Mansion. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Marquis!" Qin Keqing bowed and saluted, looking at Jia Qiang with dazzling eyes and replied.

"Daddy is in good health, but he is busy again, even busier than when he was in Yangzhou!" Speaking of Lin Ruhai, Lin Daiyu replied with some dissatisfaction.

"Sister Lin, I made you worry about me. You still don't believe in my strength. Who in this world can hurt me!" Jia Qiang didn't want to see the sadness on Lin Daiyu's face, so he smiled and comforted her.

Especially in the battle four years ago, Jia Qiang defeated the Tatars and did not even return to the capital after that, which made Lin Daiyu worry about whether he was injured in that war.

"Miaoyu, be careful with your mouth!" Lin Daiyu was so embarrassed that she wanted to make trouble for Miaoyu, but Miaoyu ran away with a smile.

Jia Qiang immediately left Qin Keqing, turned around and walked towards the door.

After a little excitement, the unfamiliarity of seeing each other after four years disappeared, and the relationship between the two returned to what it was before.

"You have to agree on a time, and I'll ask dad to wait at the house!" Lin Daiyu said happily.

"Brother Qiang, does Miss Qin have a problem? Send her away quickly!" Lin Daiyu quickly advised.

At this very moment, Qin Keqing was inexplicably sent to Jiahou's Mansion. No matter how you looked at it, there was something hidden.

She didn't expect that there was such a danger hidden around Jia Qiang. Jia Qiang was her husband and everything to her.

Lin Daiyu, who is now a young girl, has a graceful and graceful figure, and her appearance is even more beautiful.

He originally didn't want to tell Lin Daiyu this, but seeing that Lin Daiyu seemed to care about Qin Keqing, he told some things.

"Sister Lin, this Miss Qin is not simple. I always feel that there is something wrong with her. You'd better not be alone with her!" Jia Qiang looked around and said softly to Lin Daiyu.

Jia Qiang would send her letters from time to time, but the letters always reported good things but not bad things.

Jia Qiang was startled. There were many women in the house, but Lin Daiyu had never cared so much about any woman.

The other women were very sensible and also left the main hall.

She learned from Lin Ruhai that Jia Qiang's inspection in the north was many times more difficult than the emperor's mission in Yangzhou.

"I'm not worried about you!" Lin Daiyu looked ashamed. In front of so many people, what Jia Qiang said made her feel unbearable.

"When I go over to see the teacher tomorrow, I can help the teacher, my wife, and you to take care of yourself!" Jia Qiang replied with a smile.

"Brother Qiang, you are back, are you not injured?" Lin Daiyu couldn't contain her joy when she saw Jia Qiang, and she asked with concern.

Jia Qiang certainly knew where Dali Temple was. As the deputy of Dali Temple, Lin Ruhai was responsible for many cases.

"Sister Lin!" Jia Qiang shouted with a smile when she saw Lin Daiyu who had just grown up.

"Haha, how is your teacher's health?" Jia Qiang asked, changing the subject.

"That doesn't need to be the case. I won't meet her alone. I will investigate her during this period!" Jia Qiang replied with a smile.

"Miss Lin is here!" Jade reminded softly.

"Miss Qin, are you used to living in the house?" Jia Qiang asked with a smile.

"You all go back!" Jia Qiang didn't want to be surrounded by a bunch of people when chatting with Lin Daiyu, so he waved to the other women and said.

Jia Qiang's strong spirit did not feel that Qin Keqing's charm was caused by the exercises, which proved that Qin Keqing was born like this.

"Brother Qiang, how do you plan to arrange Miss Qin?" Lin Daiyu asked suddenly.

"It's all your fault!" Lin Daiyu glared at Jia Qiang and said.

Since Jia Qiang said Qin Keqing had a problem, then Qin Keqing must have a problem.

That is to say, a letter allowed Lin Daiyu to sustain herself and not hurt her body due to worry.

But for some reason, there was a hint of sadness in Lin Daiyu's eyebrows, which was like Xizi holding her heart, which made people feel heartbroken.

"You must be careful!" Lin Daiyu said with concern.

With Lin Ruhai's temperament, there will be no omissions in the case, and the working time will be uncertain.

"Don't worry, I want to marry Sister Lin. I won't take any chances!" Jia Qiang laughed.

Lin Daiyu heard him say such nonsense and quickly looked towards the door, fearing that Jia Qiang's words would be overheard.

"Mom said that since you are back, I won't be able to come to Jiahou Mansion often!" Lin Daiyu said distressedly.

She is no longer the little girl she was four years ago, but now she has become a teenager. Even though she is engaged to Jia Qiang, she often goes to the house without getting married, which can easily lead to gossip.

In this era where reputation and integrity are paramount, reputation and integrity cannot be compromised.

This is the benefit of having mother's teachings. In the original history of Red Mansion, Lin Daiyu lived in Rongguo Mansion since she was a child. Jia's mother and the elders of the Jia family did not teach her this, and even deliberately let Jia Baoyu go.

Now that Jia Min is here, it is impossible for Jia Min to harm Lin Daiyu's reputation.

"It's okay. The Lin Mansion is right next to it. When the time comes, a small door will be opened between the two houses. You can just come through the small door and play with the little sisters!" Jia Qiang smiled and said the solution.

"Is this okay?" Lin Daiyu was greatly moved and asked a little uneasily. Over the years, her close friends have all been in Jiahou Mansion. If she did not interact with her close friends, her life would lose a lot of fun.

"Of course, don't worry, what happened in the house cannot be spread outside!" Jia Qiang assured with a smile.

After he came back, he ordered twenty-four strong men to guard him, pay attention to the servants in the mansion, and prevent the affairs of the mansion from leaking out.

With the strength of the twenty-four warrior guards, how could it be possible that such a small thing could not be done well.

"Great!" Lin Daiyu said happily.

Lin Daiyu did not stay long. Considering that she could communicate with each other through the small door in the future, she was still very happy when she left.

After sending Lin Daiyu away, Jia Qiang returned to the main hall.

He had to do something he had wanted to do for a long time, which was to dig out an underground secret room.

He didn't want to do this in other people's hands, mainly because there were a lot of properties stored in this underground secret room, and their value was quite high.

This underground secret room is very useful for taking out some uncommon items in the inventory, such as those huge amounts of treasures, some trophies obtained in the past, etc.

To dig out an underground secret room is a big project for ordinary people.

But for Jia Qiang, it's much simpler.

He released Jia Jinguang and Jia Wei, and first asked Jia Jinjiang and Jia Wei to move a rockery outside the main hall.

This rockery is a complete Taihu stone, weighing ten thousand kilograms, but in the hands of Jia Jingang and Jia Wei, it seems like nothing.

After removing the rockery, Jia Jingang and Jia Wei dug under the rockery. The excavated soil was put into a large basket, and then Jia Qiang put it into the inventory and sent it out of the house after waiting.

Jia Jingang and Jia Wei moved very quickly, and the soil underground was like tofu to them.

There is a downward step in the underground secret room, which goes down to ten meters underground, which is under the main hall. There, a secret room of two hundred square meters and three meters high was dug out.

In order to make the secret room strong, Jia Jingang and Jia Wei first used shore guns to compact the upper, lower, left and right sides of the secret room, and then reinforced it with Sanhe soil.

He went out to find some bricks and stones, and briefly decorated the underground secret room.

Great strength worked wonders, and the underground secret room compacted by Jia Jingang and Jia Wei was already a solid underground secret room even without the three-component soil and bricks.

Jia Qiang placed more than three hundred carts of treasures and other valuable trophies in this underground secret room.

If a rockery weighing ten thousand kilograms is placed at the entrance, I believe that even the search experts in the palace will not be able to find this underground secret room.

The reason why he was so careful was that the value of this wealth was too great, and there were some secret items that he didn't want others to know about, so he felt safe placing them in the underground secret room.

After a while, Jia Qiang prepared gifts and went to the neighboring Lin Mansion.

The door of Lin Mansion is open, which is determined by Lin Ruhai's official position.

Before Jia Qiang had the title of Chaopin Marquis, the house he lived in was open to the public. Only after becoming a Chaopin Marquis did the Supreme Emperor reward him with the original Ningguo Mansion.

In the capital, there are not many gates such as the three beast-headed gates in Ningrong Second Mansion.

When the door of the Lin Mansion opened, it was impossible for Lin Ruhai to welcome him out. Even though Jia Qiang had a high title and official position, Lin Ruhai was Jia Qiang's teacher. His identity as a teacher was enough.

"I'm waiting for you in the study!" Butler Lin said as he welcomed Jia Qiang into the house with a smile.

He asked the boy to lead Jia Qiang to the study.

"Come in!" the waiter announced, and Lin Ruhai said in a deep voice.

Jia Qiang walked into the study and saw Lin Ruhai looking at a case.

"Pour yourself some tea. No servants are allowed in my study, so your wife takes care of it!" Lin Ruhai said, pointing to the tea aside.

Jia Qiang was not polite, sat down and poured herself a cup of tea, drinking while waiting for Lin Ruhai.

After almost a stick of incense, Lin Ruhai put down the file.

"I'm new to Xingming, and I haven't fully mastered it yet!" Lin Ruhai explained without hiding anything from Jia Qiang.

"Is there any trouble you need me to solve?" Jia Qiang asked.

"Not yet!" Lin Ruhai shook his head and replied.

Although he was new to criminal justice, when he was in Yangzhou, he also had salt officers under him, and he also had the power to inspect salt affairs.

Although the responsibilities of Dali Temple are different, they are also similar, and previous experience can still be used.

"I will transfer two people to the teacher and stay with him as bodyguards!" Jia Qiang thought for a while and said.

"Tough general?" Lin Ruhai asked in a deep voice.

He knew that during the past four years that Jia Qiang had been in the Northern Army, the only guards that could be favored by Jia Qiang were strong men.

"Two rank-5 warriors passed normal procedures and were transferred to the teacher through the Ministry of War!" Jia Qiang explained with a smile.

"If it doesn't affect you, just transfer him over. I also need some experts to support me in Dali Temple!" Lin Ruhai nodded in agreement.

He and Jia Qiang do not need to be polite. They are of the same spirit and must look after each other in the officialdom.

With their father-in-law relationship, even if they don't unite, outsiders will only regard them as one.

"Your reputation in the north is too great. Not only is this not good for you, it's actually inappropriate!" Lin Ruhai continued.

"Teacher, please clarify?" Jia Qiang wanted to hear the teacher's opinion and asked honestly.

This is an excellent opportunity. His time as an official is too short. Probably only Lin Ruhai, the teacher in the officialdom, can guide him sincerely.

"The northern army is the strongest among Daqian's armies. You have supervised the northern army, eliminated a large number of corrupt officials, and appointed many new people. It seems fair and strict, but your huge influence in the northern army has become a hidden danger. Lin Ruhai explained in a deep voice.

"I also want to fulfill the emperor's order!" Jia Qiang replied helplessly.

This is of course part of the reason, but the more reason is to place his loyal heroes.

In the southern army, Jia Qiang could only deploy more than a thousand warriors through various methods. This was because he had a complete intelligence network in Jiangnan, and while he was still known as Jiangnan Supervisor, he also used the Ministry of War's This is the result of the relationship.

But looking at the northern army, he had more than 6,000 warriors and almost completely controlled the northern army.

"I'm afraid that the Holy Emperor and the Supreme Emperor will not allow you to have actual military power!" Lin Ruhai said with a sigh.

Jia Qiang was startled. He had always thought that when he came back this time, he would be able to get the rank of a full-time military attaché. With his record of expelling the Tatars four years ago and the changes he had made to the northern army in the past four years, these achievements were enough for him to become a military attaché. He is now a first-grade military attaché.
