[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

"Baoyu is the lifeblood of the old lady and aunt, no matter how much you pay, will you save Baoyu?"

Mrs. Jiang said: "I heard that the Jia family intends to ask the king of Beijing. The king of Beijing has a good relationship with the Jia family, and he likes Baoyu very much. I think he will do his best to help. With him, Baoyu will be safe and sound." .”

Sister Feng thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Not necessarily? On the surface, King Beijing and King Zhongshun lived together peacefully, but everyone knew in their hearts that the relationship between the two was not harmonious. If Jia's family went to Prince Zhongshun's mansion in person, they would plead sincerely and humblely. King Zhongshun gave him enough face, maybe he will consider other aspects, or put forward conditions to the Jia family and let Jia Baoyu go. However, the Jia family not only failed to do enough tricks, but also asked the King of Beijing for help, which made What does King Zhongshun think? Does he think that the Jia family wants to use the King of Beijing to coerce him? If he releases Jia Baoyu at this time, isn’t it a sign of weakness to the King of Beijing? Outsiders will say that he is afraid of the King of Beijing and has no choice but to let him go Man, isn't this a blatant slap in the face?"

Madam Jiang frowned, "Is it really so serious?"

Sister Feng shook her head, "I'm just guessing. If King Zhongshun was a broad-minded person, he might make a big deal into a small one, but judging from the fact that he used an actor to trouble the Jia family twice, he is obviously not a lenient man. People. Whether Baoyu can escape this disaster depends on his good fortune."

According to the current situation, whoever helps the Jia family is tantamount to opposing the Zhongshun Palace, so no one is willing to help.

Xu Shizhen was protected by gods. After a few days, King Zhongshun let Jia Baoyu go. Of course, the Jia family also paid a lot of benefits.

Sister Feng thought about it, she didn't know how King Zhongshun became so magnanimous, until one day she heard the news that Jia Yuanchun was named a virtuous concubine.

"So that's how it is." No wonder King Zhongshun would let Jia Baoyu go, presumably he had already learned about Yuan Chun's concubine from Emperor Tianshun.No matter how much he hated the Jia family, he couldn't deal with Jia Baoyu when the emperor wanted to confer Yuanchun.

The emperor's face still has to be given.

Ping'er said, "Girl, what are you talking about?"

"The eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion is conferred the title of a virtuous concubine. The whole family must be very happy, right?"

"Yes, early this morning, a servant from the Rongguo Mansion came to announce the good news. The servant girl thought it was ridiculous to see her proud appearance. I think my aunt is very proud." Ping'er combed her hair for Sister Feng, and looked at her. The mirror said, "Since it's a happy event, my aunt intends to invite all relatives and friends to have a lively and lively event. Will the girl go?"

Sister Feng half smiled, "If I don't go, how will my eldest aunt show off in front of me?"

No need to guess what Mrs. Wang thinks.She would definitely say, what is a Mrs. Hou, her daughter is now an imperial concubine, and the Jia family is now a relative of the emperor, much more noble than the Hou's mansion.

"However, now that I'm ready to get married, it's not suitable for me to go out of the house, so I can't enjoy her family's happiness."

The Jia family was a blessing in disguise, but is the Qin family so lucky?It was heard that Qin Zhong had been seriously ill since he returned home, and he was bedridden within a few days. He invited many doctors for diagnosis and treatment, and took a lot of soups and medicines but nothing improved. Some doctors even hinted that they could prepare for the funeral.Qin Ye worried about Qin Zhong's condition all day long, and also fell ill.

When Sister Feng learned of this, she was surprised, but then she felt that it was expected.

After the death of Qin Keqing in the previous life, Qin Zhong and Qin Ye also died, but this life is just ahead of schedule.

In all fairness, she didn't like Qin Zhong, if it wasn't because Qin Zhong was the son of Qin Keqing's adoptive father, she wouldn't bother to pay attention to his life and death.

"Miss Qin is a weak woman who has to take care of two people and sheds tears day and night. Would you like to go and see?" Ping'er asked, "Or would you ask Miracle Doctor Xia to see their condition?"

Sister Feng subconsciously stood up and walked out the door, but turned around as soon as she got to the door, "No, I can't go, we just pretend we didn't hear about the Qin family."

Ping'er was puzzled, "Why is this, you have always had a good relationship with Miss Qin, Mr. Qin is her younger brother..."

"Just because I'm on good terms with her alone, doesn't mean I'm on good terms with the whole Qin family, do you understand?" Sister Feng suddenly said seriously.

Besides, Qin Keqing died in the previous life, but I didn't see how sad Qin Zhong was.In the final analysis, Qin Zhong's fate was caused by himself, and she is not a disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so should she take care of everything?

Now that Yuan Chun has become an imperial concubine, Emperor Tianshun must have known Qin Keqing's identity and must be thinking about how to get rid of Qin Keqing quietly.If she ran to Qin's house at this time, wouldn't she put Wang's house on the fire?Emperor Tianshun managed to dispel his wariness towards the Wang family, so he must not let him become suspicious again.

"Yes...Miss, it is widely rumored that it is the Jia family's happy event, and the girl stays behind closed doors. She should have not heard about the Qin family's affairs."

Sister Feng smiled, "Don't worry, Miss Qin will be safe and sound."

Not long after, Qin Zhong and Qin Ye passed away one after another. Sister Feng didn't go to Qin's house to mourn, so she didn't see Qin Keqing for the last time.

The reason why it is said to be the last one is because Qin Keqing couldn't bear the blow of losing his brother and father one after another, so he hanged himself one night.The servants of the Qin family saw that there was no master in the house, and they divided up the property of the Qin family, so they fled one after another, and finally burned the Qin family down.When the government came to investigate the case, they only saw a piece of ashes and Qin Keqing's skeleton.

"Why haven't you rested so late tonight?"

There was only one lamp left in the room, and the warm yellow candlelight reflected the sky and the earth, projecting her slender figure on the wall. When you get close, you can even see her eyelashes flickering, as if they were falling. across his palm.He inexplicably felt itchy and throbbing in his heart. He couldn't wait to get close to her, so he jumped in quickly.

Ping'er was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw a young man in brocade clothes stepping on the moon, and he couldn't speak fluently, "You...you are..."

Sister Feng gave Ping'er a wink, and Ping'er smiled knowingly and quickly backed away.

If people don't know, they will definitely scream in fright as if he was a thief, but his calm demeanor and unrestrained posture will only make people feel that his demeanor is extremely elegant.Sister Feng took a look, then suddenly smiled, "I'm waiting for you."

Gu Xingchi was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that she was answering the question he just asked.

Gu Xingchi looked down at her with gentle eyes, "How did you know I would come tonight?"

"I guessed it." Her voice was so delicate that she couldn't even detect it, "It's just that your habit of jumping over walls and windows is not very good. If I hadn't been prepared, I might have regarded you as a disciple."

Gu Xingchi curled his lips, and said with a soft smile: "Actually, I also want to visit the mansion openly, but unmarried couples are not allowed to meet each other. If I do this, Mrs. Jiang must think that I don't understand etiquette. For my own selfishness, offending It's not cost-effective to marry the future aunt, so I had to sneak in quietly in the dead of night. Don't many talented men and beautiful women in the play choose to have a secret meeting in the middle of the night, before we get married, we can experience the fun of it. Furthermore, Even if it is a Deng Tuzi, have you ever seen such a good-looking Deng Tuzi?"

Sister Feng glared at him and said angrily, "In terms of thick skin, no one can match you."

"Mrs. praise."

Sister Feng was taken aback, as if she felt a warmth in her heart, and her heartbeat accelerated a lot.It was obviously the simplest sentence, but she felt at a loss and didn't say a word for a long time.

But Gu Xingchi still had a calm expression on his face, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that were tender and affectionate, looking at her for a moment, as if there was a kind of scorching heat, hiding an emotion, as if it was about to come out in the next moment.

She subconsciously evaded, turning her eyes away and not daring to look again.After calming down a little bit, he asked, "You arranged what happened to you?"

Gu Xingchi guessed what she was thinking, but did not reveal it, "Yes, as you imagined, she is not dead."

A gust of cool wind passed through the window, and the heat on her face faded a lot, "Where did you send her?"

"Jinling, the Xu family."

Sister Feng turned her head to look at him, with a strange feeling in her heart, "Is it Aunt Xu's family who once saved us?"

Gu Xingchi nodded, "It's the safest place." He paused and said, "I sent someone I trust to escort her along the way, she will arrive safely, and the Xu family will treat her well."

"Why Aunt Xu?" Sister Feng thought for a while, then asked in surprise, "Did you know Aunt Xu a long time ago?"

Gu Xingchi didn't intend to hide it from her, and said with a smile, "Indeed."

She hesitated for a while, then asked, "So, what's your relationship with Aunt Xu?"

She regretted it a little when she said it.She and Gu Xingchi are not close enough to exchange secrets, how could he tell her?

Noticing her expression, Gu Xingchi stroked her hair amusedly, "She is Gu Xingchi's blood relative."

Sister Feng was surprised to hear what he said, "What do you mean by that?"

Gu Xingchi raised his eyebrows, and his expression became unpredictable, "Well, it can't be explained in one or two sentences. Anyway, you are going to marry into the Gu family, and I will tell you slowly in the future."

Sister Feng's face darkened, "You're so petty, forget it if you don't want to say it, I don't care to listen to it. It's getting late, Master Hou shouldn't stay for a long time, let's go back."

His smile became more and more gentle, his eyes seemed to be dyed with a little brilliance, and suddenly he bent down and said something in her ear.

Feeling a soft touch next to her ear, Sister Feng hurriedly dodged, and after recollecting what he said, her face burned like a fire, and she wished she could hide immediately.

Gu Xingchi laughed briskly, and took the initiative to take a step back, "Actually, the main purpose of my coming here tonight is to see you, but I was afraid that you would not welcome me, so I had to find other excuses. But now you want to let me go, I am disappointed."

Sister Feng knew that he was trying to deceive others, so there was still a huge wave in her heart, but her face was calm, "Then you are doomed to be disappointed to the end, I'm going to rest, you should go back soon."

Gu Xingchi sighed, "That's fine, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The moment he turned around, she felt a little disappointed for some reason.Before this inexplicable emotion dissipated, he fell into a warm embrace.

He said in a hoarse voice: "The wedding is going to be less than ten days away, don't be nervous."

"I won't." She pushed him away slightly.

Maybe it was because of a big wedding, Sister Feng didn't feel nervous, instead she was looking forward to it.

Gu Xingchi laughed, "What should I do, I seem a little nervous."

In the dark night, looking into his eyes, I felt that my breathing was stagnant.The originally refreshing air of pine and bamboo seemed to be much stronger and surrounded her.

Ping'er came in and looked around, "Girl, Master Hou is gone?"

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Let's go."

The night is lonely, only the sound of the wind outside the window and the chirping of insects, or the rustling of petals, close your eyes, it seems that you can hear someone walking on the petals.

Ping'er drew down the curtain for her, and said softly: "It's getting late, girl, let's rest."
