Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 130 Visiting the Qin Family
In Lushui Lane in the south of the city, there is a small house with two entrances at the street corner, in the west wing of the back house.

Qin Keqing was sitting by the window, holding a half-embroidered bellyband in his hand, but looking at the sky outside the window in a daze.

Ever since that day after seeing the official in the Royal Street and seeing Jia Qiong's true appearance, Qin Keqing's heart was tied to him.

But she was married as a common wife, and she didn't know how Jia Qiong would treat her, or whether his first wife would be easy to get along with.

Qin Keqing is full of expectations and hesitation in her heart, so she has often been in a daze recently.

"Girl, girl..."

The maid's cry brought back Qin Keqing's thoughts. She tilted her head slightly and asked, "What's wrong with Ruizhu?"

Ruizhu said with a happy face: "Girl, my uncle is here.

I was talking to the master in front, and I had just served them tea. "

Qin Keqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then recalled Jia Qiong's eyes that pierced people's hearts, and felt his heart beating involuntarily.

But she still forced herself to calm down and said, "I understand."

Then she started to embroider the bellyband again, but the stitches were obviously not as neat as before. It was obvious that her thoughts were not here.

Ruizhu suggested excitedly: "Girl, let's go secretly and listen to what my uncle and the master have to say."

Qin Keqing shook his head and said: "How can that be done? What will it look like if people find out?

You have to go on your own, I won't go. "

Upon hearing this, Ruizhu was immediately discouraged and stood aside calmly.

Qin Keqing also wanted to know what Jia Qiong was doing, but was embarrassed to say it.

She thought for a while and said: "Stop standing here stupidly, go to the front hall to wait on me."

"It's okay, girl, Xiaotao is guarding you there."

Qin Keqing glanced at her and thought to herself, why is this girl so stupid today? Can't you hear it when you serve tea?

But she couldn't say these words anyway, so she could only continue to embroider her bellyband silently, but her mind began to have random thoughts.

Ruizhu chuckled and said, "Girl, why don't I go to the front and take a look.

Xiao Tao is too stupid, I'm afraid she won't remember everything. "

Only then did Qin Keqing realize that she had been tricked by Ruizhu. She blushed and pretended to be angry: "Why don't you go quickly!"

In the front hall, when Jia Qiong saw Qin Ye sitting opposite, he immediately remembered the scene when he was parading a few days ago, and he had already guessed it.

He thought to himself: The stunning beauty covering her face with a fan must be Qin Keqing. No wonder she is so touching. After all, being famous is not as good as meeting her.

He cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, the day before yesterday, the Supreme Emperor suddenly granted a marriage to my daughter-in-law, which really caught me off guard.

There have been too many things going on these past two days, so it would be rude of me to delay my visit until today. Please don't blame me, uncle. "

Qin Ye smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. My nephew has just finished the palace examination and has many things to do. It doesn't matter if he comes over a few days later."

Jia Qiong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your understanding, uncle. I think your uncle was there that day when the officials were praised in the imperial street?"

Qin Ye said with a smile on his face: "Yes, I took Ke Qing and the dog Qin Zhong to see Yujie Kuaguan.

Oh, Keqing is the little word for beauty.

The nephew's passing was a grand event that has not happened in a hundred years in our country. It was a great sight to parade on horseback that day. "

Jia Qiong waved his hand and said: "That was already yesterday's scenery.

Now that I have entered the court, I am just an ordinary official from the sixth rank. "

"Haha, a good son-in-law is too humble.

With your reputation and ability, I'm afraid you will surpass me in two or three years.

But it is her blessing that Qing can marry you.

She has a soft temper, and she will ask her nephew to take more care of her in the future. "After all, Qin Keqing is just an ordinary wife, and Qin Ye is also worried that she will be bullied if she gets married. Seeing Jia Qiong's humble attitude, he gave her instructions in advance.

Jia Qiong said solemnly: "Uncle, don't worry.

Both the official wife and the ordinary wife are my Jia Qiong's wives. I will treat them equally and will not treat Keqing differently just because he is an ordinary wife. "

Qin Ye nodded with satisfaction: "That makes me feel relieved."

Qin Ye was not a good talker, so in order to avoid embarrassment, Jia Qiong took the initiative to stir up the topic.

"Why isn't brother Qin Zhongxian here today?"

"He has gone to private school and will not leave until after midnight."

"This is unfortunate. I wonder how old Qin Zhongxian is and how his studies are?"

Qin Ye sighed and said, "My son is very useless, he is thirteen this year.

He is timid and afraid of new things. His sister used to teach him at home. He just entered school last year.

My nephew's talents are well known all over the world. I hope you can give him a few tips in the future so that he can make some progress. "

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "That's natural, uncle, don't worry, you can let Qin Zhong come to my house more often in the future.

In addition, if my uncle is willing, I can send him to Wansong Academy in two years.

The academic style there is rigorous and can very well train people's will and character.

If Qin Zhong could study for a few years, he would definitely make great progress. "

Qin Ye was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly raised his hands and said, "That's great, thank you for bothering my nephew."

Jia Qiong waved her hand and said, "Uncle, please don't be so polite. We will be a family from now on. This is what I should do."

"I still have to thank my dear nephew."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jia Qiong asked: "Uncle, I heard that Keqing entered the palace two years ago and was named the head of Yongning County not long ago. I wonder how she entered the palace?"

Qin Ye smiled and said: "Speaking of it, it was Keqing's fate. Keqing was suddenly recruited into the palace two years ago, and we don't know why.

However, Ke Qing said that the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother were very kind to her and recognized her as their goddaughter, so the Supreme Emperor granted her the title of county head.

This time, the Emperor has granted you a marriage, and the Queen Mother has also prepared a dowry for Ke Qing. What a great favor from the Emperor! "

Jia Qiong nodded and said, "That's it. The Emperor and the Queen Mother are kind. This is also my blessing."

By observing Qin Ye's reaction, Jia Qiong didn't find anything unusual. He probably didn't know Qin Keqing's life experience.

It seems that we can only wait until Qin Keqing gets married and then ask her in person.

When the etiquette was over, Jia Qiong didn't stay much longer. Qin Ye wouldn't let him see Qin Keqing anyway, so he left after chatting for a while.

As soon as he left, two little girls, Ruizhu and Xiaotao, came to report to Qin Keqing.

"Girl, my uncle is very polite when he talks to me."

"He also asked about the young master's studies and said which academy he could recommend him to study in. The master was very happy after hearing this."

"My uncle also said that he doesn't care about regular wives and ordinary wives. He treats everyone equally."

"My uncle is so handsome, and he is a perfect match for the girl."

"That's right. You didn't believe me when I told you last time."

……

After listening to Ruizhu and Xiaotao's retelling, Qin Keqing felt extremely happy.

She used to worry that Jia Qiong would not like her and would be left out if she married her.

Now she doesn't have to worry. From his attitude towards his father and brother, at least she can know that Jia Qiong likes her.
