The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 286
Qin Keqing glared at Baozhu, and said in a bad mood, "Hurry up and order someone to prepare some refreshments and bring them to Doufengxuan!" After sending Baozhu away, she smiled and asked Mu Xu, "Before my cousin came, there was nothing wrong with me. say hi?"

Mu Xu replied, "I also came to tell my cousin something on the spur of the moment." He was going to bluntly say that Jia Rong agreed to reconcile and leave, but suddenly saw Xichun appearing not far away, so he changed his words again.

Before Qin Keqing could speak again, Xichun poked her head out of the window and waved to Mu Xu, "Brother Lin!" Mu Xu responded with a smile, "How is sister Xichun?"

Xichun grinned and said, "I'm fine. Recently, my drawing skills have improved a lot. I must go to your mansion some other day and ask Elder Sister Lin for advice."

"Okay, let's talk when we have something to say, what do you look like through the window!" Seeing that the two of them seemed to have a long chat, Qin Keqing hurriedly urged Mu Xu to enter the room.

Mu Xu followed Qin Keqing to the room and saw that it was very neatly organized. Except for the desk by the window, there were a few spring stools. Qin Keqing explained, "Recently, the fourth aunt was painting the summer scene in Huifang Garden. Simply order someone to vacate this place and use it as a studio for her."

Xichun echoed, "That's right, Doufeng Pavilion is in a good location, refreshing and cool, as long as you open the windows, you can have a panoramic view of the whole courtyard."

Mu Xu walked to the window and looked out, and sure enough, he saw yellow flowers all over the ground, white willows across the slope, a small bridge leading to the Ruoye River, and a winding path leading to the roof.The stones are clear and flowing, the fences are fragrant, the tree heads are green and the leaves are fluttering, and the sparse forest is picturesque.Seeing this scene, one couldn't help but feel refreshed, and Mu Xu praised sincerely, "Your family's Huifang Garden is very famous in Beijing. I saw it today, and it really lives up to its reputation!"

Hearing Mu Xu's words, Xichun's childlike heart inevitably revealed a smug expression on his face, but Qin Keqing said, "My cousin is just admiring, but others are flattering it. Garden, what is the point!"

Mu Xu shook his head and said, "The Royal Garden is just famous, but in fact it is just well-behaved. It's just better than Kuo Lang. It's not as good as your yard, which has winding paths and secluded paths, and has a special charm."

Qin Keqing didn't argue with Mu Xu, and asked him to sit down with a smile, and then said, "My cousin just said that he has something to ask for me, but I don't know what it is?"

Mu Xu glanced at Xichun who was at the side, and remembered that in the original book, she did not have much kinship with Jia Zhen and his son, so she said bluntly, "There is a letter from Yungui, Jia Rong wants to reconcile with her cousin." Then he took out the envelope, Pass it to Qin Keqing, "This is the Heli letter, Jia Rong has signed it."

Qin Keqing took the letter, opened it and read it carefully, but Xichun didn't dare to believe it, "Rong'er is crazy, why do you want to reconcile if you are so good?"

"Just because Jia Rong remarried a new wife in the land of exile, if there is trouble, this is a serious crime of stopping a wife and remarrying. For him, it is an added crime. Don't expect to be forgiven one day. Of course Mu Xu would not say that Jia Rong was coerced by him, but what he said was true.

After hearing this, Xichun's face flushed with anger, and she scolded harshly, "This bastard is just as bad at learning as his father." Then he said to Qin Keqing, "Since he doesn't recognize you as a wife, then we will be sisters from now on." Xiangxiang, you don’t have to call me aunt anymore.”

Before Qin Keqing could answer, Mu Xu clapped his hands and said, "Miss Xichun's words are reasonable. I don't have to be called Cousin Keqing, but she calls you Auntie, which makes people confused. How simple and clear it is!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Keqing gave Mu Xu a supercilious look, nodded and said, "Alright, I've always wanted a younger sister, and today I finally got my wish."

"Haha, everyone is happy like this, but it's a pity that Miss Xichun is still young, otherwise we should have a glass of water and wine to celebrate." Mu Xu said regretfully.

Baozhu led two maids to the door with preserved tea and fruit, and when she heard what Mu Xu said inside, she echoed, "What's the difficulty? Even if there is no wine, you can replace wine with tea."

Qin Keqing scolded with a smile, "You girl, you know how to be a good person!"

While instructing the girl to serve tea, Baozhu replied, "Young lady, what's the point, what I'm doing is borrowing flowers to present Buddha!"

The master and servant chatted and laughed for a while, and Baozhu thoughtfully wanted to leave, and Xichun also said, "Brother-in-law Lin and sister are talking, I have to go back quickly, and color the painting I made today, so I won't bother you!"

Mu Xu and the two didn't hold back, they got up and sent Xichun out of the room. After turning back to the room, Qin Keqing saw that there was no one else around, so she couldn't wait to throw herself into Mu Xu's arms, hugged him tightly, and sighed for a long time Said, "It can be regarded as getting rid of the identity of the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, and I feel a lot easier."

Mu Xu gently stroked her hair, and replied with a smile, "Yeah, even if people find out about our relationship in the future, I'm not afraid of them talking." As soon as the words fell, who would have thought that Qin Keqing would break free from his arms , raised his head and said, "Don't say that, you're a married man, and I've been married before, if people know about our relationship, it's no wonder I'm not drowned in spittle."

Holding her pretty face, Mu Xu said distressedly, "Don't worry about others, let's just be happy. Besides, it's too unfair to you. You can't be sneaky all your life."

Qin Keqing smiled sweetly at first, and then said indifferently, "I think this is good, anyway, I don't like to go out, I stay at the house all day, you just come and see me when you have time." While speaking, she pulled Mu Xu went back to the room and sat down, then continued,
"It's not that you don't know. What kind of life did I live in Ningguo Mansion before? At that time, I was worried all day long. I was afraid that if I didn't pay attention, that beast Jia Zhen would succeed and ruin my innocence. Now, I don't know. How nice, I am very content, so you don't have to feel wronged by me!"

Seeing that Mu Xu was about to speak, she hurriedly said, "If you really feel sorry, how about you promise me?"

Without even thinking about it, Mu Xu blurted out, "Don't say one thing, it doesn't matter if there are a hundred things, cousin just say it!"

"Don't be so talkative, listen to me, and it's not too late for you to make a decision." Then, Qin Keqing blushed, and whispered, "I want to give birth to you a child."

Mu Xu was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled maliciously, "I thought you were going to say something, so it's this, it's not easy, let's work harder, and you will surely get what you want!"

Qin Keqing stretched out her hand, patted Mu Xu's chest, and said angrily, "You are not serious, I mean, the child will follow me from now on." After finishing speaking, she carefully looked at Mu Xu's expression.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xu waved his hand and said, "It's all up to you, even if the child has your surname!"

"Ah, are you serious?" Qin Keqing opened her mouth, unable to believe her ears.When she thought about it, no matter how generous Mu Xu was, she probably wouldn't be willing to let the child be with her in the future, but she didn't think that this guy not only agreed, but also had a surprise.

It's no wonder Qin Keqing thinks this way. After all, this is a patriarchal society. It's an era where a man can't hold his head up if he sticks in the door. Mu Xu's words can be said to be extremely shocking.But who told Mu Xu to come from later generations, so seeing Qin Keqing's disbelief, he added, "Don't make such a fuss, even if the child follows you and takes your surname in the future, isn't he my child?"

Seeing Qin Keqing shaking his head numbly, Mu Xu spread his hands and said, "It's over, it's just a different form."

"But..." Qin Keqing was interrupted by Mu Xu before she could finish her sentence, "No but, I will depend on you if I say so, and I will definitely depend on you!"

Seeing Mu Xu being so resolute, Qin Keqing was finally convinced that the person in front of her was no longer joking, and immediately jumped up happily, so scared that Mu Xu quickly hugged her with her hands, and blamed, "Why are you acting like a child? What to do if you fall."

Qin Keqing wrapped her arms around Mu Xu's neck and said softly, "I'm so happy!"

Mu Xu gently put her back on the chair, shook his head and laughed, "Let's not talk about that, let's talk about Qin Zhong's matter, what are you going to do?"

Hearing Mu Xu mentioning Qin Zhong, Qin Keqing, who was still elated, suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, and said in a displeased tone, "You can't make me happy for a while, but you are so blank, disturbing his good mood."

Mu Xu said sternly, "Even if you don't like it, I will bring it up. You are too weak-tempered, but you have a good heart. Looking back, you may have to clean up many messes for Qin Zhong!"
