It was still dark, Jia Lian quietly got up, and Sister Feng woke up immediately.
Jia Lian said softly: "I have something going on in my yamen, so you can rest easy."
How can Sister Feng be able to rest? She immediately asked Ping'er to come in and help Jia Lian wash up, while she was already cheering up on the bed:
"I have already sorted out a clue about the matters in Dongfu. The key lies in five things. Let me tell you first.
The first thing is that the population is mixed and things are lost;
The second thing is to be non-committal and recommend committee members at short notice;
The third item requires excessive use and excessive spending;
The fourth thing is that there is no big or small task, and pain and joy are not equal;
The fifth thing is that the family members are arrogant and indulgent, and those with dignity will not accept the reins, while those without shame will not be able to make progress.
These five things have become customary in Ningguo Mansion, and they are all things we have to deal with carefully..."
Jia Lian saw that although she was in great spirits, her complexion was not entirely good. Hearing that she was thinking so much, he sighed in his heart:
With Ah Feng’s workaholic personality, while killing others, she can also kill herself.
.
Following the faint morning light, Jia Lian came to Qin's house.
The one who opened the door for Jia Lian was Qin Keqing who had already packed up.
Jia Lian saw that she had changed out of her gorgeous clothes and was wearing a plain lotus-colored silk jacket and a white cotton skirt. Not only did she not apply any makeup, but she also used some unknown method to make her face dull and yellow. She was not the glamorous look she had last night. Jia Lian nodded and praised:
"That's great. You are really thoughtful in your actions."
Before Jia Lian arrived, Qin Keqing had been sitting quietly in the hall alone for more than an hour. At this time, she had already thought clearly and smiled lightly at herself:
"Fortunately, I still have the clothes I wore when I was unmarried.
I just didn’t expect that when I put it on again, I would be a human being again.”
Without waiting for Jia Lian to ask questions, he said:
"I have already given my instructions to my father. He is not an ignorant person.
I also told my father that if I am not here, Mr. Lian will continue to take care of them.
The old man has been worried all night and has just fallen asleep. There is no need to wake him up again. Let's go."
As he spoke, he picked up a semi-old blue cotton cloak that was prepared by his side and put it on with a clean and neat movement.
Jia Lian secretly praised:
Sure enough, I saw her right!
This girl looks gentle, but she is not the kind of woman who has no ideas or brains. She thinks things through and is straightforward in dealing with things. She is not inferior to Wang Xifeng.
.
Jia Lian went to untie the horse's reins tied to the tree. When he turned around, Keqing had already gotten into the carriage by himself, with a large bundle beside him, and he smiled and said:
"I persuaded your father last night to pack things, but I'm afraid you haven't had a good rest either. Just get in the car and get some sleep."
Ke Qing looked at Jia Lian, pursed her lips, smiled, and said softly:
"My family is poor, and I am already a married woman. Where can I find anything that belongs to me at home?
This baggage contains my clothes from yesterday. I can’t leave them at home to cause trouble.
There are also a lot of blood stains on the coat that the second master left for me last night, so I have to take it away for safety.
If I hadn't dared to light a fire and smoke last night, I would have burned them all."
She spoke calmly, as if her trip was not an escape from the aftermath of a disaster, but just a spring outing with her sweetheart.
Talking to Qin Keqing always makes people feel a soft and warm feeling of spring breeze blowing on their face, and their hearts are full of unspeakable ironing.
Jia Lian estimated that the city gate was about to open, so he didn't waste much time. He closed the Qin family's gate, jumped on the carriage and went straight to the city gate.
As soon as the Xizhi Gate opened, the carriage team transporting water to the palace from Yuquan Mountain entered the city.
The vehicles were heavy and the wheels made a loud sound. In the smoke and dust caused by the horses and carriages, Jia Lian drove Ke Qing's carriage out of the city smoothly.
.
Winter mornings are extremely cold.
This country road leading to the West Mountain becomes colder the closer it gets to the mountain.
Although in the world of Red Mansions, the capital is not as bitterly cold as the Beijing where Jia Lian lived in his previous life, and even the seasons and plants are not much different from Jinling, winter is winter, and the cold air still makes people feel a little chilly. p>
Jia Lian saw that Keqing's cotton cloak was too thin, so while driving the car, he wanted to take off his big fur cloak and give it to her, but Keqing grabbed him:
"You can't take it off! If you take off your clothes outside at this time, be careful of catching the cold."
Jia Lian smiled and said:
"There is nothing to be afraid of when men are strong. But don't get cold."
He was about to take off his cloak, but Qin Keqing sat down next to Jia Lian generously, lifted up half of Jia Lian's white fox cloak with feather gauze, and wrapped herself in it.
She wrapped herself in Jia Lian's cloak and smiled frankly at Jia Lian:
"In this way, you and I will not catch the cold, and we will save a lot of trouble."
On the other hand, Jia Lian, being embraced by a beautiful woman for the first time, immediately blushed and quickly looked away, not knowing how to respond.
But Qing secretly caught a glimpse and felt something in her heart:
It is said that Mr. Lian is a lustful ghost who will not give up his life when he sees a woman, but he will not steal her.
But after meeting each other these few times, I found that he turned out to be a gentleman. As expected, seeing is believing and hearing is false.
Speaking of which, the way he blushes is so endearing——
.
The dirt roads in the countryside are bumpy and bumpy, and the old horse has difficulty walking.
The two walked in silence for a long time, and finally Qin Keqing broke the silence:
"From now on, there will be no Qin Keqing in this world.
I wonder what new name Erye plans to give me?"
Jia Lian was suddenly asked, scratched his head and said:
"I...how can I give you a name worthy of you?"
"I have thought about one, Lian Sheng. When people ask me, I will say that I was born when the lotus blooms. If you ask me, I will say that it was Mr. Lian who made me reborn."
Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Ke Qing said sadly:
"The last time Ruizhu went to have his fortune told, he said that Mr. Lian was the one in my destiny and told me not to let Baoyu enter my room to take a nap. I didn't believe it at that time. If I believe it now, I'm afraid it's too late."
She looked at the distant mountains ahead and sighed.
"I talked to my father in the middle of the night last night. After hearing what happened to me, my father really couldn't do anything. He just said that the matter has come to this and there is nothing we can do about it. I just have to take care of myself.
Zhong'er, on the other hand, has indeed stopped learning.
Since he met Baoyu, the two of them came and went together, sat and stood together, rubbed their ears and temples together, and became increasingly close. The old lady also cherished Zhong'er, and often stayed with Zhong'er for three days and five nights. Seeing that my family was not very well-off,
He often helps with clothes, shoes and other items.
This was originally a good thing, but later Baoyu insisted on not treating Zhong Er as uncle or nephew, but only called him brother, and called Zhong Er "Jing Qing" when he saw Zhong Er. From then on, the rules were broken.
Zhong'er was originally honest, but gradually his thoughts turned to food, clothing, and sex. His father persuaded him to study, but he said: "What you said about aspiration for fame and fame, and glory and fame, are just learning the tricks of gaining fame and fortune."
, I will be a national thief and a ghost in the future, and my knowledge is too shallow. How can I be as knowledgeable as a precious jade and be as knowledgeable as the world's people?'"
Jia Lian couldn't help but smile and said: "These words are indeed taught by Baoyu."
"If it's just these, that's all.
I heard that there were two people in the school nicknamed "Xiang Lian" and "Yu Ai", who had an unclear and disgraceful relationship with Bao Yu, and later they seduced Zhong Er together.
Every day in the school, the four of them would sit around, but their eyes would linger, and they would make many extremely unpleasant remarks. In the first few days, they even got into a fight in the school over such embarrassing things, and the trouble was extremely unbearable. p>
Grandma Huang from Donghutongzi came to my house to tell my father these things, otherwise I wouldn’t have known that he has become such a virtuous person.
Last night, he stayed away all night again, for fear of..."
