4.10 Niece-in-law meets uncle
That night, in the back garden of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Zheng's banquet was not interesting. Lin Ruhai, who was originally the guest of honor, left and went home after talking to Zhou Yang. No one from the wedding banquet during the day was left. Except for Jia Zheng, there were only five people at the banquet. There were six Qingke guests, including Zhan Guang, Shan Pinren, Cheng Rixing, and Fu Shi. In the end, it was considered a "Host and Guest Enjoyment".

After the banquet, he excused himself as "too drunk" and went back to the Rongguofu VIP Courtyard to rest. He expected to take the opportunity to climb over the wall to solve his personal needs. Unexpectedly, Li Wan happened to have a relative come over, and only Suyun, who was "addicted to food", didn't even have the side dishes. Neither of them can be called it. After two rounds, it took less than one stick of incense to completely stop cooking. At this time, I was sleeping soundly.

In the end, it was the little widow and her own girl who tried their best to solve the problem with "special means", leaving him in a dilemma. Then he had no choice but to go to the back garden to relax and calm down his anger. He gritted his teeth and thought. Should he simply eat Ping'er in advance to pad his stomach? However, he learned from Li Wan that Wang Xifeng, who was shouting so hard, had actually been dragging the girl to live with him after Jia Lian left. Otherwise, he would not have the guts to sleep at all, so he could only Reluctantly gave up.

I don’t know if it was because the wedding in the daytime was too hard. After Jia Zheng’s banquet, it was just midnight. In the middle of summer, it can only be said that it was just dark. The entire Rongguo Mansion was completely quiet. Zhou Yang was walking around in the back garden. After walking around for three times, he was surprised to find that there was no human hair and only a few cicadas chirping and crickets chirping, which disappointed him.

Just when he was about to take another round and go back to take a cold shower and sleep, he faintly heard the cry of a woman near the alleyway of Ningrong's second mansion. The first thing that came to his mind was not a story about a man and a woman. It was the gods and ghosts in the original work. Fortunately, after listening for a moment, I was sure that it was the human voice from Ningguo Mansion and not something supernatural.

This is also something Zhou Yang is very satisfied with, that is, there is nothing less harmonious in this world. It can only be said to be a historical dynasty that has gone astray. Whether it is foreign development or domestic status, it is generally consistent with reality. Contemporaries in history, the difference is nothing more than a change of names.

Anyway, he had nothing to do. Zhou Yang simply climbed over two high walls in succession and entered Huifang Garden of Ningguo Mansion. He saw a woman with her back turned to the rockery not far away. Under the reflection of the sixteenth full moon, Leaning on the rockery and wiping his eyes from time to time, he was crying alone, but there was no sound of anyone around him.

"Who is there? Why are you crying on the big day? Are you not afraid of being discovered? Send it to Brother Zhen to make a plan?" Without thinking much, Zhou Yang strode over and only when he got close was he surprised to find that she was actually wearing a With a bright red wedding dress and a bun full of jewels, it's not hard to guess her identity, "You are."

"Which house are you a slave in? Who gave you the courage to wander around Huifang Garden in the middle of the night?" The woman obviously didn't pay much attention to Zhou Yang's words, so she interrupted him immediately, and then He quickly wiped his eyes, turned around and shouted to him in a master's tone, "Nianyou is your first offender, don't stay here, get out now!"

"But Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is in person?" Zhou Yang was not interested in beating around the bush and pointed out his identity on the spot, "I am Zhou Yang. I was invited to attend the wedding during the day. Because of some things, I was left in the small house in Rongguo Mansion. Come on, I couldn’t sleep tonight and I heard your voice when I was walking in the garden. I thought some girl was being bullied.”

"It's Uncle Zhou in person?" Unexpectedly, Qin Keqing knew him, and raised her head in surprise, "My niece and daughter-in-law are visiting uncle, and I don't want to disturb my uncle's peace because of some trivial matters!"

"Okay, you and I shouldn't be here at this time, so we'd better stop being polite to each other." Zhou Yang smiled and looked up and down at the almost enigmatic woman in the original work, "What's going on? ? Today is your happy day, why are you crying here alone? "

But he didn't expect that this observation almost made him lose his power. She was indeed a peerless woman in the original work who could be evaluated as "both the beauty of the hairpin and the beauty of the hairpin." At this time, she was wearing a bright red wedding dress, allowing her to fully show off her feminine qualities. The most touching thing about her appearance was that the rouge she had spent just now after crying for a long time did not detract from her beauty at all, and added a bit of charm.

With a pair of peach blossom eyes, a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows, a high nose bridge, a slightly open cherry mouth, a charming oval face, and Tingting's womanly bun, Zhou Yang was originally in a state of dissatisfaction, and now he almost felt embarrassed on the spot and could only be embarrassed. He turned around and faced the "target" sideways to cover up.

"Uncle -" was originally a very ordinary call, but when it came out of Qin Keqing's mouth, it seemed to be filled with magic. It was obvious that she could also see someone's state. Her already red cheeks instantly turned red, and she felt embarrassed. Turning his back to Zhou Yang, "What you said is very true, it's getting late, my niece and daughter-in-law will go back now!"

"Actually, you're not busy!" Zhou Yang unexpectedly stepped forward and stopped her, without saying anything else, "I came here just to ask why you are crying alone here. It's a happy day. What on earth is it?" Things have made you so sad? Also, why don't you see Brother Rong?" "My husband drank a few more drinks at the banquet, and he was already being served by the girl and fell asleep." Qin Keqing's tone was obviously filled with resentment, "My niece-in-law is just a I was nervous for the first time, so I lost my composure for a moment, so please don’t worry, uncle.”

"That's good!" After just a few words of conversation, the two of them barely returned to normal. Zhou Yang said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I was assigned to the Rongguo Mansion next door because of something during the day. I just saw it from a distance. I had some regrets about your entry-level demeanor, but now that I have seen you, as the saying goes, 'a sight is better than a hundred hearings,' so I don't have any regrets at all."

"Uncle!" Qin Keqing blushed at his obviously ridiculing statement. She glared at him fiercely but showed a complicated expression, "I have heard for a long time that uncle is a hero of the younger generation of Wu Xun. Today I saw that he is truly worthy of his reputation. ;Speaking of which, before my niece-in-law entered the family, she had heard about her uncle’s deeds many times at home.”

"Huh?" These few words made Zhou Yang sober up a lot, and he immediately remembered the complicated identity of the beautiful woman in front of him, "What a handsome man, it's just the love of your brothers; but you are here today, probably not just because of your love for me. Nervous about a strange environment, right? Anyway, there's nothing wrong with you, so I don't mind being an audience."

"Uncle is really as informal as the legend says." Qin Keqing said quietly, but did not refuse his proposal. It was obvious that he was depressed and wanted to find someone to talk to. Now he happened to meet Zhou Yang, so he took advantage of the situation. Sitting on a smooth bluestone next to the rockery, "I wonder what uncle wants to hear today?"

"I can see that you are in a very depressed mood." After a moment of silence, Zhou Yang simply took the opportunity to find out more, "It stands to reason that you should be happy on this big day. What on earth could have forced you to cry secretly? To the point? Don't worry, tell me, your identity is no secret to the relatives who come here today. Their visit today is not so much for the Jia family's face, but for your face. "

Zhou Yang said this not blindly, but on purpose. He had some guesses about Qin Keqing's identity, but he only guessed the big picture. Anyway, the two people are in a special situation today, whether it is the meeting or the next one. There is nothing that can be said in the conversation, just like the modern Internet, you can talk casually without meeting each other, and you don’t know anyone after you finish talking, so let’s let it go.

"It turns out that uncle also knows the identity of his nephew-in-law? It seems that although this world is big, there is really no secret." Qin Keqing breathed a sigh of relief, obviously feeling more relaxed, and he didn't care too much about the so-called " "Secret", "In that case, my uncle must be able to guess the reason why my nephew-in-law entered this house?"

"I just have some vague ideas, but I don't fully understand." Zhou Yang shook his head in Qin Keqing's surprised eyes, "It stands to reason that your status is special, and the convention should be to not mention it but arrange corresponding treatment, just like when you entered the school today. , Shili Hongzhuang obviously exceeded the support ability of your father Qin, but no one thought it was wrong because everyone understood it.

But what I don’t understand is why I welcomed you in but didn’t tell you your identity clearly. Only Uncle Jing knew about the whole Ningguo Mansion. Brother Zhen and Brother Rong didn’t know. This is taking advantage of my own family. Qiancheng is joking, but if anyone disrespects you and offends the person behind it, this house will not be able to handle it! "

Just like the comment in the original work, "The beginning of trouble is in Ning." There must be more than one problem in the Ningguo Mansion, but a very important point among them is the mysterious granddaughter-in-law Qin Keqing. At the funeral of the original work, All the families of the four princes and eight lords were dispatched, and those who came were all headed family members. With such identities, the cause of death was "picking ashes".

No matter who Qin Keqing's actual identity is, this is equivalent to throwing the face of the family behind him into the cesspool. Ningguo Mansion has formed an unending blood feud. This situation should not have happened in the first place. Now Zhou Yang understands that the reason is Jia Zhen Neither Jia Rong nor Qin Keqing knows the identity of Qin Keqing, but the question is back to the beginning, why?How could anyone pick up their granddaughter-in-law and not reveal their identity?

"If the niece-in-law says that all this is not against my grandfather, but because the niece-in-law's family asked for it, what does uncle think?" Qin Keqing said quietly.

"What?" Zhou Yang really couldn't understand.
