The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Under the corridor outside the pavilion, there is a slight spring breeze.

After hearing no movement in the pavilion for a long time, Qin Keqing pretended to be casual and walked to the east window and listened inside.

When Xiao Zi, Gu Qingyi's maid, saw her appearance, she felt that this maid was so brave and dared to listen to her master.

But seeing Qin Keqing's slender body and charming appearance, she looked very similar to the eldest mistress in the house who often came to learn skills. She thought that this maid must be not simple, and she could not be very favored by the Marquis.

No wonder he can follow Mr. Hou out.

After glancing at the courtyard, Xiao Zi stepped forward and gently pulled Qin Keqing, shook her head and advised: "Don't do this, it won't be good if someone sees it later..."

She is from Gu Qingyi, so naturally she doesn't want people to listen to her young lady's fault.

Qin Keqing looked back at her and saw that this girl was not very old. She had a shy and serious look on her face, but she was actually very pretty, like a flower.

She often communicated with Shen Pan'er and others, so she naturally knew Xiao Zi, but she had never taken a closer look before.

It happened to be quiet in the pavilion, and she didn't hear any noise, so she nodded and asked her in a low voice: "Your name is Xiaozi?"

"Ah."

"I heard that your girl brought you from Jiangnan. Are you also an oiran?"

"No. I am our girl's maid."

"How many maids did you girls originally have?"

"Four."

Qin Keqing was secretly surprised, thinking that the ostentation of these oiran ladies was really grand.

You must know that even for a young lady from a public house such as Jia's house, there are usually only two personal maids, and only four will be made up when she leaves the cabinet.

He didn't pay much attention to it, and then he leaned close to Xiao Zi and said jokingly: "Oh, since you girls have four maids, they only brought you back to the capital. It seems that you must be the most well-behaved and the most beautiful among them. Bar?"

"No...no...it's because the Marquis only allows our girl to take one person..."

The little girl shook her head, looking very embarrassed.

Just when Qin Keqing felt that this girl was particularly cute and was about to tease her further, she suddenly heard a delicate whine that sounded like pain and joy coming from inside the house.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other.

Qin Keqing's red lips pursed. As she also lost her virginity under Jia Lian, it was easy for her to guess what was happening inside.

Seeing that the girl Xiaozi was still dazed, she couldn't help but hold her in her arms and whisper with a smile: "Congratulations, you girls have become the Marquis's woman. You are a slave to the master. From now on, no one will dare to bully you..."

Xiao Zi, who was still doubtful at first, immediately confirmed after hearing Qin Keqing's words, and couldn't help but feel excited.

The girl has waited for so long and finally waited for this day.

Qin Keqing saw through her thoughts at a glance. After smiling, thinking that the things inside would be over for a while, he started thinking about another thing.

Then he laughed softly to Xiao Zi and said: "You girls will definitely not be able to withstand the conquest due to your new favor. Just listen carefully here and don't move. I wonder if your girls will call you later."

After saying that, he didn't pay much attention to the shy little girl with red cheeks, turned around and left Tianxiang Tower.

Qin Keqing felt inexplicably happy as she walked in the Ningguo Mansion with ease. This feeling of looking at old things with a different identity is quite novel, let alone.

Returning to his courtyard, he said to his maid: "Second Grandma Lian asked me to come to Grandma Xiaorong to get something."

The maid did not doubt that he was there and hurriedly took her into the main room and reported back: "Grandma, Xiangling from Grandma Lian's house is here."

In the main room, Zhen Xiangling, who was lying on the bed looking at the gauze curtain, suddenly stood up, with surprise on her face that she had found her long-lost relative.

He was about to welcome her out, but at least he remembered the identity she was currently playing, so he stood up silently and walked out of the back room.

The moment she saw Qin Keqing, Xiangling almost burst into tears until she heard Qin Keqing bow to her and salute: "My servant Xiangling, I have met Grandma Xiaorong."

Xiang Ling was excited, and the concept of dignity was ingrained in her bones. She quickly supported Qin Keqing, opened her mouth, and finally said to the maid next to her who was looking at them curiously: "You, you go down first."

"Yes, grandma."

After the maid left, Xiangling didn't bother to cover up anymore. She took Qin Keqing, who had a joking look on her face, back to the back room and said quickly: "Grandma Xiaorong, you are back. If you don't come back, oh oh, I'll just pretend." Can't go down anymore.

Last night, my grandma called me over, and I almost revealed my secret. "

With that said, Xiang Ling was about to take off her clothes. She didn't want to wear these clothes that represented nobility and beauty for a moment.

But Qin Keqing held her hand and said with a smile: "What did Grandma Xiaorong say? This slave is just following the order of Second Grandma Lian to pick up something. After taking it, she has to go back."

The joy on Xiangling's face suddenly froze, and she stared blankly at Qin Keqing, feeling uneasy in her heart.

Grandma Xiaorong doesn't want to take away her body...

Qin Keqing paid no attention to Xiang Ling who was in a daze. After smiling, she walked directly into the room.

Xiangling came back to her senses and saw that Qin Keqing had really gone in to look for something, so she couldn't help but follow her.

Qin Keqing squatted in front of the huge row of standing cabinets in the back room, opened the bottom shelf, then reached into the dark cabinet, groped for a long time, and solemnly took out a square box that was as long as an arm's length.

Xiangling was a little curious as to what was inside. Grandma Xiaorong looked so cautious.

But Xiang Ling, who was not talkative by nature, didn't ask any questions. She watched silently as Qin Keqing took out some more handkerchiefs and fabrics, packed the box into a bundle, then slung it in her hand before leaving.

Xiangling quickly grabbed her and said pitifully: "Grandma Xiaorong..."

Qin Keqing turned around and looked at the replica of herself in front of her with a pleading look on her face. She was both amused and confused.

Finally, he decided to comfort her: "Grandma Xiaorong, don't worry, Grandma Lian said that you are usually the most well-behaved, so you can enjoy your happiness here.

There are few people in the house here, so as long as you don't move around, no one will notice you.

After two days, and another two days, someone will be sent to take you back. be good. "

After Qin Keqing finished speaking, he touched Xiang Ling's head in a playful manner and left with a smirk on his face.

Qin Keqing's pride did not last long. As soon as he went out and walked to the corridor in the middle, he saw Mrs. You coming from the west with two maids.

She wanted to hide away, but Youshi seemed to have seen her.

She had no choice but to go forward and salute politely: "This slave has met Grandma Zhen."

"Hmm. What are you doing?"

"Second Grandma Lian asked this servant to ask Grandma Xiaorong to get something."

Qin Keqing became a little nervous as she spoke, fearing that Youshi would ask her what she had taken.

But Youshi didn't ask, just glanced at her and said, "I just want to discuss something with your second grandma. Since you are here, I will tell you first. Come here."

After You finished speaking, he went directly to Ning Xuantang. Qin Keqing stood still, frowning and thinking for a while, and then followed Youshi's pace.

Arriving at the main room where You lived, You dismissed the maid and daughter-in-law, sat on the kang, looked at Qin Keqing below, and said calmly: "Tell me, what are you doing?"

When Qin Keqing heard this, she didn't understand that Youshi had seen through it, so she stopped pretending, smiled and stepped forward, took Youshi's arm to flatter her, and said, "How did your mother-in-law see it?"

Youshi glared at her angrily.

"How can you tell? Do you think everyone is like you, a ghost?

Last night, Xiangling girl was in front of me. I could tell something was wrong without saying a few words...

You are so courageous, it would be better if the madam and the old lady knew about it! "

Youshi said, blushing a little and feeling her heart pounding. As Qin Keqing's mother-in-law and close friend, how could she not guess some of the twists and turns.

"Tell me, whose idea was this? Does Feng Yatou know?"

"Mother-in-law Mingjian, how could we dare to do this without the consent of Second Aunt Lian?

To be honest, this was exactly what Second Grandma Lian meant. Yesterday at noon, Aunt Lian brought Ping'er and Xiangling over to look for me..."

Qin Keqing said, explaining the original story to You one by one.

Since the matter was seen through by Youshi, in order to prevent the matter from being exposed, she naturally had to win over Youshi. As long as Youshi's participation is involved, Xiangling Girl's side will be more secure.

After hearing Qin Keqing's explanation, You didn't know what to say for a moment.

She only thinks Qin Keqing is too evil.

What kind of person is Sister Feng? Although she had suspected that Sister Feng knew about Qin Keqing and Jia Lian before, she had not confirmed it after all.

At this time, I heard that Sister Feng really acquiesced to Qin Keqing and Jia Lian's matter, and was willing to fulfill it, and I felt both admiration and envy in my heart.

After pondering for a long time, Youshi said: "Don't go too far, and switch back as soon as you're done having fun! Although you two look alike, people who have known you for a long time will definitely be able to tell the clues.

Don't let it end badly when the time comes. "

Qin Keqing said quickly: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, Second Aunt Lian just left me to talk to her, and I will be back soon. On the other hand, Xiangling, I hope my mother-in-law will take more care of her..."

Youshi looked at Qin Keqing speechlessly, someone knew clearly whether she should accompany Sister Feng or her man.

After all, he nodded and agreed to Qin Keqing's request.

Qin Keqing then praised Youshi in a flattering manner and kissed her affectionately on the cheek, which made Youshi glare at her and finally couldn't say anything more to her.

Turning his eyes, he saw the package Qin Keqing put aside and asked casually: "What did she ask you to pick up?"

Qin Keqing blinked.

When Youshi saw this, she suddenly felt as happy as her heart, and spat with a blood-red face: "You..."

No wonder the outline of the package felt familiar to her...

She thought that when she was at Tianxiang Tower, she saw Qin Keqing take out a box and then use the contents hidden in it to bully her with Jia Lian!

She was too bold. Could she still want to take this thing to Rongguo Mansion? What if it was broken into or lost and picked up by someone, that would be really...

I shudder just thinking about Youshi.

Qin Keqing didn't care and changed the subject directly: "I have something to tell my mother-in-law."

Qin Keqing told the story of Jia Lian's visit to Gu Qingyi at Tianxiang Tower, and said: "Looking at the second uncle, he values ​​those four beauties very much.

In the future, it is impossible to say that among them, some will play an important role next to the second uncle.

Since the second uncle now raises them in our house, we just take the opportunity to form a good relationship.

Although they were born as oirans, each of them was raised pampered, and their previous lives were no less graceful than those of other ladies.

At present, they don't have anyone to serve them, so my mother-in-law might as well send more people to serve and take care of them, so that they can remember her mother-in-law's kindness. "

You nodded her head to show her understanding, and gave Qin Keqing a final instruction before sending her away.

When Qin Keqing returned to the attic where Gu Qingyi lived in Tianxiang Tower, he happened to see the little purple girl coming out of the attic carrying a basin.

As soon as he saw her, the cheeks of the little girl, who was just a rosy-faced girl, suddenly turned red.

He lowered his head and wiped his mouth on his sleeve, as if he was ashamed to look directly at Qin Keqing. He gave a casual gesture and walked down the corridor with the basin in hand.

Qin Keqing was thoughtful and then pushed the door open and entered.

After such a long time, it must be over inside.

Walking past the wooden screen, you can see a warm and elegant room. On the beautiful couch, Jia Lian is half leaning on the head of the bed. From his chest down, he is covered with a blue silk quilt embroidered with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

A beautiful lady with messy black hair and an alluring appearance was also lying under the quilt. The jade face leaning against Jia Lian's chest was full of laziness and contentment.

The delicate red lips were slightly opened and closed, as if they were whispering to Jia Lian.

Seeing this, Qin Keqing couldn't help but feel a little sad, and stepped forward and said: "Second Master, it's getting late, it's almost time for dinner."

Jia Lian nodded and patted the beautiful buttocks in his arms.

Gu Qingyi sat up wrapped in quilt, glanced at Qin Keqing with a narrowed eyebrow, and suddenly said: "This girl looks very much like the eldest mistress in this house!"

Girl, you are the girl, a yellow-haired girl with not even a hair on her head!

Although she was very dissatisfied with the young Gu Qingyi in her heart, she still pretended to be a maid and gave Gu Qingyi a flattering smile.

Unexpectedly, her smile catered to Gu Qingyi.

Beauty Gu reached over Jia Lian's chest, took a silver hairpin from the cabinet next to her, and said, "I see that I'm in love with this girl, I think she is a caring person around the Marquis.

I have no preparation today. I have worn this hairpin for many years, so I will give it to my sister. I hope my sister will not dislike it. "

Poor Gu Qingyi, even though he had secretly inquired about the situation in Jia Lian's house.

However, due to limited conditions, apart from Sister Feng and Daiyu, only Qingwen was known to be a concubine given to Jia Lian by the elders of the family.

I have also met Xiang Ling, and I probably know that her status with Jia Lian is not low.

This time, since the other party was destined to witness her important event, he also wanted to form a good relationship, so he presented her with personal accessories.

If she had known that the person in front of her was just a maid, but there was a lot of gold lying around in her house, she might not have acted so hastily.

Seeing that the person wanted to give jewelry as soon as he came up, Qin Keqing waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, this is too valuable, I can't accept it..."

Jia Lian looked at Qin Keqing helplessly. Seeing that this girl even had a look of fear on her face, and her words and gestures were the same as Xiangling's, Jia Lian couldn't help but sigh: "Since she gave it to you, just accept it."

Well, the women around me don’t have many fuel-efficient lamps. One is better than the other!

However, they have their own way of life. As long as they are not out of their control, Jia Lian does not want to interfere.

He got up, put on his clothes under Qin Keqing's service, said a few words to Gu Qingyi, then left Tianxiang Tower with a cheerful pace, and returned to Rongguo Mansion through the garden. (End of chapter)
