Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

Qin Keqing's illness began at the beginning of the year, and she has exhausted all kinds of methods to hang her life until now. Those who know it say it is rare, but it is difficult for Jia Rong to accept.

At this time last year, they were still discussing going outside, and their conversations were full of good expectations for future life. It's only been a year, and it's already a world apart.

What is even more unacceptable is that the next day is the day of reunion in the world.

Jia Rong leaned against the head of the bed, staring blankly at Qin Keqing, who didn't respond to what others said.

Qin Keqing was sick for many days because of lingering illness, and her whole body was haggard, but Jia Rong, a healthy person, looked no better than Qin Keqing.

On weekdays, Jia Rong almost brought food and medicine by herself. At night, Qin Keqing couldn't sleep because of the pain. Jia Rong gently hugged her and coaxed her. When Qin Keqing was still asleep, Jia Rong had to read medical books and make medicine. , Jia Rong would have fallen ill a long time ago if she hadn't held on all at once.

When You Shi came over and saw this scene, his eyes were red, and he couldn't figure out why they were the same father and son, but they were completely different.

Youshi asked someone to clean Qin Keqing's face, and changed his clothes while his body was still soft.

Jia Rong reacted now, and rushed forward to prevent anyone from touching Qin Keqing, "She's not dead! Don't touch her! She's just tired and asleep! Don't touch her! Don't touch her...don't touch her... "

Everyone couldn't get close to Qin Keqing, they looked at Youshi one after another, Youshi had no choice but to tell Jia Jing again.

After Jia Jing found out, he was silent for a while, and then sent someone to take Jia Rong away, and then began to wrap up Qin Keqing, and the servants began to set up a coffin to invite monks and priests, and to deliver funeral news to relatives and friends.

When Wang Xifeng heard about Qin Keqing's death, she thought the maid was joking with her. When she saw the white belt around the maid's waist, she realized that it was true. The hairpin in her hand fell to the ground immediately, "Didn't the days get better a while ago? I'll go and see How did it go well...well..."

Wang Xifeng burst into tears, got up and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Ping'er, Wang Xifeng wanted to push Ping'er away, but couldn't use his hands.

Ping'er was also sad, but she still reminded Wang Xifeng: "Grandma is going, so she should change her clothes, and Wang's family also has to send gifts, and explain clearly."

It was only then that Wang Xifeng remembered that today she planned to go to the palace to add makeup to Wang Xiluan. For the sake of celebration, she specially dressed in bright red.

Wang Xifeng stared blankly at her clothes, only to feel that the redness was as dazzling as blood, so she turned around and walked back, "Yes, it's time to change clothes, these clothes don't look good."

Different from Wang Xifeng's reaction, after Rongguo Mansion received the funeral report, it just nodded to show that it understood, and then went to do what it was supposed to do. The Wang family still dressed up and went to Wang's house to add makeup to Wang Xiluan.

Wang Ziteng also received the news of Qin Keqing's death, and he also knew Qin Keqing's true identity. He was worried about what to do, when he saw Wang's beaming visit, Wang Ziteng was suddenly very angry.

To this younger sister, Wang Ziteng is also helpless. She was obviously a generous and straightforward woman before, but after she got married, she slowly changed her temperament and became what she is now.

Wang Ziteng held back his anger and said, "Why are you here?"

Mrs. Wang wondered: "Today is a good day to add makeup to Sister Luan, why can't I come?"

Wang Ziteng said: "General Weilie's mansion sent a message this morning, saying that Jia Rong's wife is gone, did you not receive the news?"

Wang said with a smile: "It turns out that this is the matter. What should I do? The daughter-in-law of the grandnephew in the next room is gone. Do you want me to keep her filial piety for her?"

Wang Ziteng stared at her coldly, "But Jia Rong's wife is not an ordinary person, and you know who she is."

Just as Wang was about to speak, Wang Ziteng stopped her, "Don't pretend to be confused, you know better than anyone what Jia Yuanchun relied on to get up."

Mrs. Wang stopped talking.

Wang Ziteng said: "Just now Sister Feng asked someone to bring Sister Luan's makeup. She also talked about it, saying that she has a funeral on her body, which is unlucky, so I won't come here."

Wang frowned, "Brother thinks I'm unlucky, so I shouldn't come?"

The prince wanted to hit her angrily, "If I really dislike you, I won't let you in!"

Wang said coldly: "Then why is brother saying these things?"

Wang Ziteng stared at her for a while, and asked: "Do you think that with Concubine Xiande, you don't have to be afraid of anything?"

Wang's expression changed and he stopped talking.

Wang Ziteng sighed, "Hurry up and go back, you know what to do, even if it's not for yourself, it should be for the Xiande Concubine in the palace."

Mrs. Wang sat for a while, and finally got up and left angrily. When she reached the gate of the courtyard, she happened to meet Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai. walk by.

Aunt Xue felt strange, and when she saw Wang Ziteng, she asked him, "What's wrong with my sister, I saw her angry just now, but who provoked her?"

Wang Ziteng snorted coldly, "Who dares to offend her."

Seeing this, Aunt Xue stopped mentioning it and started talking about Xue Pan.

Wang Ziteng looked helplessly at Aunt Xue. Unlike the Wang family, Aunt Xue became more naive after she got married, and her means became more capable. If it weren't for a good daughter like Xue Baochai, the Wang family would have swallowed the Xue family.

"I found a distant relative of the Xue family, named Pan'er, about the same age, and gave him some money to change his identity. Now Pan'er's identity is this distant relative, but it has been adopted under the name of brother-in-law. "Wang Ziteng still couldn't help but said to Aunt Xue, "How have you lived these years? You can't even compare to when you were in the boudoir. in this way."

Aunt Xue was instantly relieved when she heard that Xue Pan's matter had been resolved. Wang Ziteng scolded her and obediently listened and did not refute. Seeing her like this, Wang Ziteng could not continue scolding her.

Wang Ziteng really felt tired. He had no children under his knees, so he had to bear the nausea and raise Wang Ren, but the two younger sisters were dragging their feet all day long.

Wang Ziteng's gaze shifted to Xue Baochai who was sitting quietly beside him, "I remember you also lived in Jia's house for a while, tell me about the people and things of Jia's house."

Xue Baochai didn't panic when she heard Wang Ziteng's words, and slowly talked about what she had seen and heard in those few months.

Qin Keqing's funeral was a big one, and fifty monks and Taoists were invited to recite the scriptures. Youshi Xichun was busy going around, and finally Jia She suggested that Wang Xifeng should be borrowed to welcome the spring.

Qin Keqing died for seven days, and many rich and noble families in Beijing came to express their condolences. Yingchun saw her in the back, and secretly sighed, "Why are there so many people here?" Fortunately, many of them were from high families.

Xichun knew the reason, but she didn't know how to say it. Some things, it's better not to know.

Fortunately, Yingchun didn't ask any further questions, and dragged Xichun to discuss the matter.

On the day of the funeral, there was some trouble in the mourning hall.

Ruizhu crashed into the coffin and died.

Everyone sighed that he was a loyal servant, but Xichun's heart sank.

problem occurs.

Ruizhu was also wrapped up in the end, ready to be buried with Qin Keqing.

The coffin was carried out of the mansion, and along with the funeral crowd, road sacrifices were held at intervals on the road, some of them were set up by Xichun and others, but more were set up by those princes' families.

The grandness of this funeral made the whole capital look sideways. Everyone didn't know that it was Qin Keqing's own reason, but they all said that the Jia family's power had not diminished in the past, and so many people sent off a daughter-in-law in the family when she died.

But these have nothing to do with Xichun, the coffin left the mansion and the things were a lot less, Wang Xifeng and Youshi felt sorry for her and Yingchun, so they took over the rest and let them go back to rest.

The two agreed, and walked slowly towards Xichun's courtyard hand in hand, and heard a faint conversation when they reached the Chaoshou corridor.

"We are so destined, if your sister had arranged for you to enter the Jia Family School earlier, we would have met a long time ago."

Yingchun and Xichun recognized the voice immediately, it was Jia Baoyu's voice.

The two were taken aback for a moment, then stopped, subconsciously holding their breath.

"But I think it's a good time for us to meet now. If we met before, we would have nothing to say and miss it for nothing."

The voice was gentle and soft, but it was clearly a man's voice, but it seemed to be sick, and he coughed twice from time to time.

The two were wondering who this person was, so they heard Jia Baoyu comfort him: "Oh, your sister is gone, don't be too sad, or your sister will be sad when she sees her, why don't I send you back, the wind outside Daddy, I will come to accompany you tomorrow."

The man laughed softly, "Then you are wrong, even if I die, she will not be sad."

Yingchun was still in a daze, but Xichun had already recognized who that person was.

Xichun angrily walked forward, Yingchun hurriedly followed, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know who that person is?"

Xichun said coldly, "Rong's daughter-in-law's younger brother, Qin Zhong."

At the corner of the veranda, Xichun walked directly to the back of the veranda, and saw Jia Baoyu and a boy of about the same age standing very close together, holding a handkerchief to wipe the boy's sweat, the boy stood and let Jia Baoyu move, He also jokes with Jia Baoyu from time to time.

Taking a closer look, one can see that the young man was born with delicate features, pink face and red lips, handsome figure, coquettish demeanor, but timid and shy demeanor like a daughter.

What is more striking is the filial piety on his body.

Seeing someone coming, Jia Baoyu and the two also panicked, and when they saw that it was Xichun and Yingchun, Jia Baoyu was relieved.

Jia Baoyu asked, "Why are the second and fourth sisters here?"

Before Yingchun could speak, Xichun choked back, "Second brother doesn't care what we are doing here, but I want to ask what second brother is doing here?"

Jia Baoyu said: "I went out for a walk, and happened to meet Brother Qin Zhong, and we chatted for a while."

Xichun nodded and asked Jia Baoyu, "Then the second elder brother is done talking?"

Jia Baoyu wanted to say no, but subconsciously nodded when he saw Xichun's cold face that was almost frozen.

Xichun looked at Qin Zhong, "Your sister's funeral today, logically you should go to see her off, but I thought you were sick before, so I wanted you to rest well, so that your sister would not feel bad, but I didn't want you to die Great, since that's the case, hurry home, your father is at home alone, and after losing his beloved daughter this time, he must also want to have someone to accompany him."

"And the second brother, I saw Mingyan looking for you everywhere before, saying that Uncle Zheng asked you to go back because of something, so the second brother should not keep the elders waiting."

After finishing speaking, Xichun took Yingchun and turned around and left. When he reached the yard, he asked Lichun to find someone to set up a carriage and take Qin Zhong back to Qin's house.

Yingchun looked at Xichun and sighed, "Is it better to let out the anger in my heart? You also lied that the second uncle asked Baoyu for something, and you are not afraid that Baoyu will tell you directly?"

"What did he say? He said he hooked up with his niece's brother-in-law's younger brother at his niece's wife's funeral?" Xichun became angrier as she thought about it, "This is their relative's funeral! How did they do it?!"

"Okay, don't be angry, there are gods standing three feet above their heads. If they really have the courage to do such things at Rong's daughter-in-law's funeral, they will be punished sooner or later!"

Yingchun's sentence of retribution will come true in a few days.

Qin Zhong was sent back to Qin's house, Qin's father knew what happened to him and beat him with a stick. Qin Zhong was ill before, and his health was not well at all.

After Jia Baoyu went back, he also knew that he had been cheated, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, he just stammered and said lame excuses.

Jia Zheng was dissatisfied, thinking that Jia Baoyu had made no progress at all, so he ordered him to come to study with him every day after school. Not long after, Jia Baoyu was beaten several times for provoking Jia Zheng's anger, and he couldn't even get out of bed. In the end, he was stopped by Jiamu Wang, so he had time to recuperate.
