Jia Ke didn't know much about this koan in Dream of Red Mansions. However, most people felt that there was something going on between Qin Zhong and Jia Baoyu.
Although the two had a good relationship during the Dream of Red Mansions, Qin Zhong did not live in the Rongguo Mansion after all. He had to go home and report to his father every day.
But now he lives in Wuyanghou Mansion, almost living under the same roof as Baoyu. The relationship between these two people can be imagined.
Jia Ke thought about it and decided that it couldn't be like this. Qin Zhong would be ruined if he continued like this. Although Jia Ke didn't have much affection for Qin Zhong, he was his brother-in-law in name only. If there was any scandal, it would not be good for Rongguo Mansion and Qin Zhong.
Neither Jia nor Qin Keqing looked good-looking.
"Ke Qing, what do you think about us hiring a separate gentleman for Qin Zhong in the mansion?" Jia Ke also wanted to seek Qin Keqing's opinion on this matter. After all, he was her brother in name.
"Isn't the private school in our house very good? Why do we need to hire someone separately?" Qin Keqing didn't know much about the private school in Jia's house.
"The private school in our house used to be good, but the old man Jia Dairu who is in charge now is too old, and after his grandson passed away, he has no energy. If this continues, I'm afraid Qin Zhong will be delayed." Jia Ke still said
out of his own worries.
Qin Keqing still likes this younger brother very much, "If this is the case, then we should hire someone to teach us. But even Jia Baoyu from the next house goes to school every day. Our Qin Zhong is so special, and the people over there
Will you be unhappy?"
Jia Ke thought about the same reason. Jia Baoyu has always been the treasure of the Rongguo family. If Qin Zhong's treatment exceeds his, I'm afraid Jia's mother will be unhappy. It will inevitably affect Qin Keqing.
Jia Ke thought for a moment and suddenly came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, "Why don't we take Baoyu over and go to class together? Then he and Qin Zhong will also have a companion."
In fact, Jia Ke understands Jia Baoyu's personality very well. Although it is good to be with Qin Zhong every day, it would be a big trouble if there is a rigid gentleman next to them who always stares at them.
With Jia Baoyu's character, he would definitely find various excuses to evade when meeting such a gentleman. As for going to school, I'm afraid he shouldn't even think about it.
After hearing this, Qin Keqing immediately smiled and said, "Of course it's good, but I don't know if the old lady will let her go."
"You don't care whether she lets her go or not. If the old lady agrees, let them study together. If she doesn't agree, let the husband teach Qin Zhong alone." Jia Ke said indifferently.
Jia Ke doesn't want Qin Zhong to live in the back house all his life like Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu has money. In the future, everything in Rongguo Mansion will be his. With the current situation of Rongguo Mansion, he will just eat it for a few more lifetimes.
Can't finish it either.
Even if Jia Baoyu cannot inherit the Rongguo Mansion, with what the old lady left him and Mrs. Wang's care, he will not be wronged.
What does Qin Zhong have? With his father, Qin Ye, a small official, he could only save a few thousand taels of silver in his life. Grandma Liu came to Rongguo Mansion and took away a hundred acres of land. He was lucky,
After hanging out with Jia Baoyu in Rongguo Mansion for so long, they only gave out money and never got it back. But Jia Ke couldn't say this to Qin Keqing openly.
"But dear, let me tell you the truth, I am still very worried about my brother-in-law." Jia Ke had a sad look on his face.
Qin Keqing looked at Jia Ke as if he was joking, "Sir, what do you think?"
"It's not a good idea for Qin Zhong to continue like this. Look at who are the people with him? They are all dandies like Baoyu. Is one of these people serious about studying?" Jia Ke said here,
He sighed.
Qin Keqing thought for a moment and realized that what Jia Ke said was indeed true. None of the people he had been dating during this period were serious scholars. These people all had no worries about food and drink. In the future, they would either inherit the title or be very wealthy in their families.
rich.
And what does Qin Zhong have? It's just because his brother-in-law is a high-ranking official that these people play with him.
In the future, Qin Zhong cannot be given half of the Wuyang Hou Mansion's property. Even if his brother-in-law has some power and wants to find him an official position, if he is just a dandy, he will only be harmed in the end.
Qin Keqing can't help but worry about Qin Zhong's future now. If this continues, what will happen to him in the future?
"If you don't tell me, I haven't thought of it. But now that you say that, I'm also worried about Qin Zhong's future."
"Isn't it? Since there is nothing to say, I will hire the most powerful gentleman for him, and I will not teach him. As long as he is somewhat motivated, I will let him be an official outside. It is always like
This is how I hang out with Baoyu every day."
After listening to Jia Ke's arrangements, Qin Keqing felt very satisfied. There is a saying that a filial son emerges from a stick, so children should be educated more strictly, otherwise how can they learn to accept it?
"Then I'll thank you. When Mr. Future comes, I'll put out a drink to treat you to him."
"Then you can't forget, I'm waiting for your wine." After Jia Ke finished speaking, he reached out and touched Qin Keqing's face.
Qin Keqing immediately turned red when he made such a fuss.
The maid who was watching them was covering her mouth and snickering.
Qin Keqing felt a little embarrassed by their laughter, and immediately started to chase them away, "What are you doing here? Are you okay? Why don't you go out and bring me lunch?"
The maids below heard that Qin Keqing was a little annoyed, so they laughed and left the room together, not daring to dislike her in front of Qin Keqing.
"Tell me what you know about them."
"I'm feeling sorry for you. If I feel sorry for them, I'll call them back. I'll just take over the room if you like them."
When Qin Keqing said this, he looked at Jia Ke with wide eyes and an angry look.
When Jia Ke saw Qin Keqing like this, she was even more adorable. He took her in his arms and started to tease her.
While the couple was having fun, Ruizhu came in from outside.
When Qin Keqing saw Ruizhu come in, he quickly pushed Jia Ke away, stood up and straightened his clothes. He returned to the dignified and elegant Qin Keqing again.
Ruizhu seemed not to have seen what they were doing just now, and gave them both a bow before saying: "Uncle, Wang Shuirong of Beijing is asking for an audience outside the house. The butler asked me if I should let the prince in first.
Meet in the living room."
Jia Ke was silent for a long time, and then said to Ruizhu: "Ask the housekeeper to ask outside the door. Is Shui Rong coming to visit as the King of Beijing, or as the supervisor of the Xiaoqi Camp?"
After listening to Jia Ke's instructions, Ruizhu was a little stunned. No matter what his identity was, was there any difference? After all, he came to see him, so why should he be kept waiting at the door?
"Uncle, no matter what his status is, shouldn't he be let in first?" Ruizhu asked puzzledly.
"Ruizhu, please shut up. You can question the uncle's words. Just let you do it." Qin Keqing said unhappily. Since she married Jia Ke, she has regarded Jia Ke as her god, and she can't stand it the most.
It is the disobedience of others towards Jia Ke.
"Don't talk about her. I've also considered this matter. Go and tell Butler Qian that if he comes to visit as King Beijing, ask him to notify me immediately. When the time comes, I will dress up and open the middle door.
Go and greet him." Jia Ke said with a serious face.
"What if he is the general of the Xiaoqi Camp?" This was a very respectable question, and she was also a little curious about these things.
Jia Ke sneered, "If he comes to ask for a meeting as the supervisor of the Xiaoqi Camp, he can only enter through the side door and wait for me outside the study. Whether I can see him then depends on my mood."
Only then did Qin Keqing and Ruizhu understand what Jia Ke meant, and also realized the huge difference between the two identities.
Ruizhu stuck out her tongue, turned around and left the room, heading forward.
When Ruizhu arrived at the second gate, Qian Mao was already waiting impatiently. As soon as he saw Ruizhu coming out, he quickly stepped forward and said, "My aunt, you figured it out. Prince Beijing was waiting impatiently outside.
If you don't come again, I will make the decision privately and open the central door to welcome you."
When Ruizhu heard that he was about to open the middle door, she immediately remembered the family's instructions just now. Her eyes widened and she said to Qian Mao: "If you dare to open the middle door wide, let our uncle know, and I won't strip you."
Skin."
Qian Mao immediately knew that Ruizhu had received Jia Ke's order, and immediately said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, I beg you, please give me the right words. Don't make it difficult for me, an old man."
Ruizhu raised her head proudly, and then said with her nostrils upward: "I told you to ask Shuirong, the King of Beijing, whether he came to visit as the King of Beijing, or as the Supervisor of the Xiaoqi Camp.
I came here as a military officer to ask for an audience."
Money trading is also an old man's accident. After listening to Ruizhu's words, I got the general idea. The two have very different identities. Jia Ke can tell the difference so clearly that he obviously wants to give Shui Rong a blow.
Even he heard that Shui Rong was going to serve as a supervisor in the Xiaoqi Camp, which was the army started by their uncle. King Beijing obviously wanted to fight for power by doing this. No wonder their uncle was so unhappy.
After Qian Mao understood, he said to Ruizhu: "Sister-in-law, I understand. I'm going to the front." After saying this, he no longer cared about Ruizhu and ran away as fast as he could.
She doesn't look like someone who is nearly fifty years old. It shows how much headache she has for Ruizhu, her little aunt.
This Ruizhu is indeed a bit swollen now. Since she was married to the Wuyang Hou Mansion, because she is the only girl brought by Qin Keqing, and the other little maid Baozhu is too young, she can only do odd jobs in front of Qin Keqing, so many things are left to her.
She's here to handle it.
She is now on par with Lan Xiang in front of Qin Keqing. Since Lan Xiang became pregnant, she has become even more arrogant. She wants to interfere in all the affairs in Wuyang Hou's house. This has made everyone a little afraid of her. She has been there for several times.
A man went to Qin Keqing to complain.
Qin Keqing also knew that Ruizhu was very competitive and probably had the same personality as Wang Xifeng of Rongguo Mansion, but Ruizhu grew up with him after all. The two of them said they were masters and servants, but in fact they were no different from biological sisters.
Therefore, the emperor was very protective of Ruizhu, which made Ruizhu even more unscrupulous.
