I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 169: Gai Shengqin’s villa?
Soon, Qin Jingqing's maid brought out writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.

Jia Cong wrote down a prescription quickly and asked the maid to take it out and ask someone to get the medicine.

Behind Jia Cong, Qin Keqing looked at him with a look of reluctance.

It wasn't directed at Jia Cong, but at the handwriting on the prescription.

Qin Keqing's father, Qin Ye, was also a graduate of the imperial examination system. When Qin Keqing was at her mother's home, she also read a few years of books.

When she saw Jia Cong's calligraphy, she couldn't help but feel amazed.

He wanted to ask Jia Cong for a piece of calligraphy, but he was afraid of causing Jia Cong to misunderstand him, so he had to suppress this thought in his heart.

Not long after, he came back with the medicine from the pharmacy.

The old woman took it to make medicine.

After an hour and a half, the medicine was ready.

Jia Cong took out three small packets of penicillin and ordered them to give Qin Jingqing one packet at a time. After they finished the three packets, they would see the effect.

After watching the maidservant help Qin Jingqing take the medicine, Jia Cong couldn't help but say, "Rong'er's family, it's inconvenient for you to stay here."

"You probably can't rest assured if you leave Qin Jingqing alone at home. It would be cheaper to take him to your house and take care of him."

According to the family rules of the Jia family, women of the Jia family were not allowed to stay overnight outside without their husbands.

Qin Keqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, it is against the rules to bring Jingqing to Ningguo Mansion. It will definitely cause gossip."

"It would be better if I worked harder every day and made more trips."

"I'm in good health now, so it won't be a problem."

Jia Cong was about to speak when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

The two of them couldn't help but get up and go out to see, and they found a little nun who was trying to rush in in a hurry.

However, he was stopped by two servants of the Jia family and was not allowed to come in.

Jia Cong guessed that this little nun was probably intelligent.

Then he said, "Let her in."

"Yes, Third Master."

Zhineng came in, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jia Cong, saying:
"I am here to see you, Third Master. I tempted Qin Lang to make a mistake and caused Old Master Qin to die. I know that I have sinned deeply."

"But in my heart, I still can't let go of Qin Lang. I just want to see him one more time and say goodbye to him, and then I'll give up on this thought."

"If Qin Lang falls ill, I am willing to follow him. I hope Third Master will grant my wish."

Hearing Zhineng's words, Jia Cong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

How is this the fault of intelligence?

This is clearly all the fault of Qin Jingqing, the playboy.

However, this is the Qin family's family affair, and Jia Cong cannot interfere.

Therefore, he couldn't help but look at Qin Keqing beside him.

Qin Keqing couldn't help but sigh and said, "Zhengneng, please get up quickly."

"This matter is really my brother's fault. How can it be your fault?"

"If my brother is lucky enough to get better, I will let him give you an explanation."

"Now I ask you to stay and serve my brother, are you willing?"

Hearing Qin Keqing's words, Zhineng couldn't help but burst into tears and said yes.

This time, she had really made up her mind to die.

She became a nun because her family was poor and could not survive.

After becoming a monk, he happened to meet the romantic and passionate Qin Jingqing.

Under Qin Jingqing's sweet words and deception, she couldn't help but lose her virginity to him.

When he heard that Qin Jingqing was ill, Zhineng could no longer bear it and secretly ran out of the temple to visit Qin Jingqing.

Unexpectedly, she was discovered by Qin's father, who drove her out and beat Qin Jingqing. She was so angry that she died.

At this point, Zhineng knew that her fate with Qin Jingqing had ended. This time, she had prepared herself to see Qin Jingqing once, and after saying goodbye, she was ready to jump into the river and commit suicide.

This world is too bitter. She can't feel any warmth or see any hope.

I just hope that in my next life, I won’t be a human being anymore.

Even if she is a human, let her be reborn as a boy.

However, at this moment, Qin Keqing asked her to stay and take care of Qin Lang, and promised that she would give her an explanation when Qin Lang recovered.

How could this not make Zhineng'er overjoyed?

Qin Keqing's behavior made Jia Cong look at her with admiration.

Qin Keqing would probably wait until the evening before returning, so Jia Cong would certainly not stay that long.

So he gave Qin Keqing a few instructions and then stood up to say goodbye.

Qin Keqing hurriedly got up and saw him out.

……

Back in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were setting up the wine and preparing to eat.

It turned out that Jia Lian was just like Jia She. After being fond of Qiu Tong for a few months, he became tired of her and let her go.

After losing Jia Lian's favor, Qiu Tong no longer dared to be angry and became respectful to Wang Xifeng.

There was peace between the two of them for a while.

This actually eased the relationship between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng.

Although Feng Ji was good at drinking, she did not dare to act on her own and just accompanied Jia Lian.

At one moment Jia Lian's wet nurse, Madam Zhao, came over.

Jia Lian and Feng Ji hurriedly asked her to drink with them and asked her to go to the kang, but Zhao Ma refused.

Ping'er and the others had already set up a stool and a small footstool under the edge of the kang, and Nanny Zhao sat on the footstool.

Zhao Ma said, "I'm drinking, and grandma is drinking one cup too. What's there to be afraid of? Just don't drink too much."

"I came here not for food and wine, but for something serious. Grandma, please remember it and take care of me."

"I am old too, and I have those two sons. You should take better care of them, and others won't dare to show their teeth to you."

"Now that such a great event has come from heaven, how can we not need people? So it is proper for me to come to grandma for help. If I rely on our grandfather, I am afraid I would still starve to death."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I will take care of both of my brothers. You have nursed them since they were young, so how could you not know their tempers?"

Everyone in the room laughed.

Sister Feng said, "But don't miss the important matter. What did the master tell you to do just now?"

Jia Lian said: "It's to visit my parents."

Sister Feng asked hurriedly, "Has the visit been approved?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Although it's not quite accurate, it's about eight points accurate."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "You can see today's Long En. I have always listened to books and watched plays, but this has never happened in ancient times."

Madam Zhao added, "But I am getting old and confused. I have heard people arguing these days about whether to visit the mother or not, but I don't care. Now they are talking about visiting the mother again. What's the reason?"

Jia Lian said: "Nowadays, the greatest thing in the world is filial piety. I think the nature of parents and children is the same, regardless of their status."

"We should ask the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager to allow their relatives to enter the palace on the 2nd and 6th of every month to come and see you."

"So the Emperor and Empress Dowager were overjoyed and praised the current emperor for his filial piety and benevolence, and for his understanding of nature and the way things are. Therefore, the two old saints issued another decree, saying that the admission of the concubine's family into the palace was a national etiquette, and the mother and daughter were still not satisfied."

"In addition to the grace of entering the palace on the 26th, any family with a large house or other courtyard that can be stationed in a safe place may invite the imperial carriage to enter their private residence, so that they can enjoy the intimate feelings and family relationships of their flesh and blood."

Zhao Ma said, "Amitabha! So that's how it is. In that case, our family should also prepare to take in our eldest daughter."

Jia Lian said, "Why bother talking about this! Otherwise, what are you busy with right now?"

Sister Feng laughed and said, "If that's the case, I've seen the world."
