Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 253 Baoyu Meets Qin Zhong

On this day, Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, asked Li Wan and Wu Linzhu to go to Dongfu for a stroll. Wu Linzhu didn't want to go there because of her filial piety, but Qin Keqing sent someone to tell her that there was an important matter to bother her. Being close on a regular basis, Wu Linzhu had no choice but to change into the clothes for the banquet and go to Ningfu.

There is only one Baoyu, I don't know where I heard that the two of them are going to Ning Mansion as guests, I remember the charming dream I had in Ning Mansion a while ago, and I want to see Qin Keqing again, so I insist on following Well, the two sisters-in-law couldn't resist him, so they had to take him with them.

The three of them took a soft sedan chair and entered the Ning Mansion for a while. You Shi and Qin Keqing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already attracted many concubines and daughters-in-law out of the Yimen.

Youshi, Qin Keqing, Li Wan and Wu Linzhu set up a card table to wipe the dominoes. Jia Rong came in from the outside and saluted, "Greetings to uncle and aunt."

Baoyu nodded, said, "Brother Rong, sit down," and asked, "Why isn't elder brother at home today?"

Youshi said: "I went out of the city to Zhuangzi. But you are so bored, what are you doing here? How about going out for a stroll?"

Qin Keqing said with a smile: "Today is a coincidence. Last time Uncle Bao said he wanted to see my brother immediately. He is here today. I think he is in the study. Why don't Uncle Bao go and have a look?"

Baoyu got up to go, Li Wan said with a smile: "Since that's the case, shall we meet this young master Qin? Although we didn't prepare for it, he is the younger brother of Rong's daughter-in-law. We elders should show some respect." Courtesy is."

Qin Keqing just lowered her head and smiled lightly, Jia Rong said with a smile: "Although my brother-in-law is young, he has been used to being gentle and polite since he was a child, and he is well-mannered, so it's okay to see him. It's just that he was born shy, and he still needs aunts and treasures. Uncle please forgive me."

Li Wan said with a smile: "With such a big sister, how could he go anywhere? We are all one family, so if there is any excuse, please invite this young master Qin here."

Jia Rong took the order to go, and after a while, she brought back a young man who was slightly thinner than Baoyu, with delicate features, pink face and red lips, handsome figure and elegant manner, as if she was above Baoyu.She was just timid and shy, with the attitude of a daughter, shy and vague, and greeted Li Wan and Wu Linzhu slowly.

Here, people around Li Wan and Wu Linzhu went back to Rongguo Mansion to collect gifts.Both of them are the same, one ruler head, two gold scorpions, and a set of four treasures of the study.

Both Qin Zhong and Qin Keqing thanked him, but the more Wu Linzhu looked at the appearance of this young man, the more he liked this young man, so he touched Baoyu with his elbow: "Look, this compares you!"

Li Wan asked him what his name was, how his housework was, and how his studies were.Qin Zhong agreed one by one, and frowned when talking about his studies: "The teacher passed away last year, and he hasn't talked about extending the teacher yet. It's just... my father mentioned the free school here, I don't know..."

Qin Keqing smiled and said: "My father is getting old, and he can't do what he wants in many things. Besides, Jing Qing is not too young. If he wants to be a teacher again, he must find a learned scholar to learn something. OK. Two aunts just came to help me. One of you is from a scholarly family, and the other is a noble lady from the Banner family. You will definitely be able to invite a good gentleman. If you can really help me with this This is the case, and I want to thank her greatly!"

As soon as Qin Keqing said this, You Shi's face changed several times, but he didn't say anything, touching his dominoes, Li Wan laughed and said: "You should have said earlier, my father has a few old gentlemen who are familiar, and they are very knowledgeable , They are all people who don't care about fame, and they can't say anything more than a sentence, so it seems that it will delay the homework of Qin Xiaoxianggong."

Wu Linzhu also said: "No, I think this matter will be left to the sister-in-law to handle it for you. You just need to rest assured that I will thank the sister-in-law when the time comes."

Qin Keqing was also very happy with what he had said, and served Li Wan and Wu Linzhu with fruit wine very attentively, bought some food and drink, and arranged for Baoyu and Qin Zhong to chat on the kang in the inner room.

The two had a mutual affection, but they regretted not entering the family school because Qin Keqing promised to give Qin Zhongyan his teacher.

Baoyu said, "Have you ever come to this mansion often?"

Qin Zhong shook his head: "My father has strict control, and he doesn't come here often on weekdays."

Baoyu shook his head again and again: "It's a pity, it's a pity! Why do you have to extend the teacher? If you can study in the school with you, you can be a companion to each other, and you can discuss it from time to time, and you can improve your homework. Wouldn't it be a good thing?" A beautiful thing? What a pity..."

Qin Zhong also deeply agreed in his heart, but none of them could change what happened just now, and there was no better way, so they could only sigh relative to each other. This time is also like chewing wax.

On the other side of the poker table, Wu Linzhu had already won several hands in a row, and he only laughed and scolded Youshi with hatred: "You little brat, you coaxed away all our silver and money, and you didn't teach us how to do it!" For play?"

Wu Linzhu pursed her lips and said angrily: "Sister-in-law is so stingy! You only won a few games, and how much money can you win? You are just like this? As I said just now, I was born when I was never able to read. Playing this, of course there are many tricks, if you think I won too much, then I will go down, hum!"

Seeing her like this, Youshi smiled: "I just teased you a few words, just like this? Are you calling me stingy, are you a small-minded person? Come up here and roll the dice."

But Wu Linzhu really didn't want to play anymore.She has already lost interest in wiping dominoes. If she spends all afternoon playing this, she might as well send someone back to play with checkers. It's still interesting.

She waved her hand and said, "No, no, I've been sitting for a long time, I have to stroll in the garden before I come back."

Qin Keqing saw her, and hurriedly said, "Then I'll go shopping with my aunt first."

You Shi nodded, and Wu Linzhu and Qin Keqing walked into the back garden hand in hand.

After walking a few steps, Wu Linzhu smiled and said, "What's the matter with you? You just winked at me. Can't you say it at the poker table?"

Qin Keqing made a silent movement, took Wu Linzhu to a pavilion in Huifang Garden, and asked Fanghua to watch in secret, and then she spoke anxiously.

"I really have no choice, so I asked my aunt to come here. I hope my aunt will help me for a while."

Wu Linzhu was also puzzled. Just now at the poker table when the matter about Master Qin Zhongyan was mentioned, Wu Linzhu thought that what Qin Keqing sent someone to tell her was the matter, but he didn't expect that it was not this. something else?
Seeing Qin Keqing like this, Wu Linzhu also restrained her smile and asked, "What's the matter? Don't worry, just tell me slowly."
