Ping'er actually doesn't like coming to Ningguo Mansion.
She felt that there was always a vague haze in Ningguo Mansion, which was depressing and depressing, making people very uncomfortable.
However, Second Mistress and Qin Keqing have a very close relationship. Qin Keqing often comes to Second Mistress’s yard, and Grandma also goes to Ning Mansion from time to time.
The Dou Fengxuan next to Tianxiang Tower is where Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing often visited when they went there. It is close to Qinfang Creek and rockery rocks. The water and rocks complement each other, making it particularly elegant. In addition, the banks of the stream are lush with madder and flowers and trees.
, it is an even better place to go in summer.
Bypassing Doofengxuan is Tianxiang Tower. Tianxiang Tower is a two-story pavilion. Although it is incomparable with the other pavilions in the Grand View Garden, it can be regarded as a place of luxury in Ningguo Mansion.
Before he entered the door, he saw Jia Rong coming out of the door with a gloomy face. When she saw Ping'er, she forced a smile: "Miss Ping'er is here, but are you looking for my wife?"
"I have met Uncle Xiao Rong." Ping'er said politely, "Grandma asked me to come and talk to Grandma Rong about something, so I came here."
"Oh,..." Jia Rong was about to leave, but then he stopped and said hesitantly: "Uncle Feng returned to Beijing a few days ago. I heard that he went to your Xifu side?"
Ping'er was startled, but kept his expression calm, "I've been here twice. The first time was when the eldest master and the second master entertained Uncle Feng, and the latter time was when the eldest master entertained..."
Jia Rong was a little regretful. It seemed that Feng Ziying still didn't pay attention to Ningguo Mansion. But think about it, the second daughter of the Xue family is the Wang family's niece, and Lin Daiyu is Jia Zheng's direct niece. The relationship is indeed unusual. Ningguo Mansion is just a door away.
Layered.
However, he and Jia Rui were very close now, often having drinks and having fun together. Once when Jia Rui was drunk, he accidentally mentioned that Feng Ziying had something to do with Ping'er. But when he asked more deeply, Jia Rui seemed to have something to do with him.
Realizing that he had made a mistake, he refused to say anything more. A closer look revealed that Uncle Lian had been unable to get a hold of the girl because of the fierceness of the second aunt. He did not expect that this girl could actually climb a high branch like Feng Ziying.
Jia Rong's gaze made her feel a little panicked, and she subconsciously clamped her legs together. They said that this uncle Xiao Rong was a promiscuous man and woman, so don't...
Jia Rong naturally didn't expect Ping'er to have such thoughts. He was still thinking about the divorce between his second aunt and his second uncle Lian. What is Ping'er's status now?
It was Feng Ziying who fell in love with this girl, but how did she succeed?
Could it be that Wang Xifeng and the second wife over there gave it to Feng Ziying like a gold or jade bracelet?
Can the second aunt let go of this personal maid?
But Feng Ziying really likes this one, and the Rongguo Mansion is quite good at catering to him. From the Wang family sending gold and jade bracelets to the Xue Dashuai giving Xiangling, they really served Feng Ziying well, but maybe Qingwen
It was Baoyu who deliberately kicked him out because of his face, but then he followed Feng Ziying's path.
After all, I owe a lot to the Ningguo Mansion. It is incomparable in all aspects. Thinking of this, Jia Rong shook his head. The level of enthusiasm in this area is still a bit lower than that of Jia She and Jia Zheng.
, my father is much more lazy.
"Oh, I also said that if Uncle Feng has time, he would like to sit with us at Ningguo Mansion." Jia Rong sighed, "Okay, Ping'er, you go ahead. I have something else to do and leave first."
Seeing Jia Rong's gloomy look, Ping'er wanted to say a few more words, but she thought that she hadn't met Qin Keqing yet, so there were some things that weren't appropriate to talk about now, and it still depended on Qin Keqing's thoughts, so she held back her words.
…
Seeing Ping'er's figure disappearing from the door, Qin Keqing frowned and stood up, walking around the room, "Baozhu, what do you think Second Aunt asked me to do at this time? And you still want Ping'er to be so solemn. The invitation made me feel uneasy."
"What are you worried about, grandma?" Compared with the honest and honest Ruizhu, Baozhu is much smarter and smarter. After spending several years in this house, Qin Keqing didn't hide anything from the two daughters.
The second girl's beauty is not inferior to that of the first-rate girls in Rongguo Mansion. Moreover, even her nominal father-in-law and husband are a little confused about how the second girl entered the house. They asked the second girl about her own family. I also didn’t know anything after asking about it. I only knew that one hometown was in Datong, and the other was in Huzhou, one in the north and the other in the south. However, they had been raised by others since they were young. It was not until Qin Keqing married into Ningguo Mansion that the two daughters were sold to Ning Guoqing. Be a personal maid.
"It's nothing to worry about. The second aunt is no longer my aunt. She and the second uncle Lian have reconciled, but she still wants to be strong. She still insists on speaking the truth in the Rongguo Mansion. The servants are even more afraid of her. "Qin Keqing laughed self-deprecatingly, "What can I have that is worth her thinking?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Grandma, please don't belittle yourself. Looking at the changes in the attitude of the two masters in the house over the past year, I'm thinking that something is wrong."
Baozhu has beautiful eyebrows and a sharp nose, and there is a hint of martial nobility between his eyebrows. He has slender shoulders and waist, but his voice hardly has the soft accent of Wu Nong from Suzhou and Hangzhou. There is a slight Wu sound at the end.
"Oh, tell me what can happen?" Qin Keqing was a little curious.
"Isn't grandma always thinking about her life experience?" Baozhu sat down next to Qin Keqing, holding Qin Keqing's hand. Feeling the coolness in Qin Keqing's hand, he quickly took the stove, wrapped it in a soft towel, and put Qin Keqing's hand in it to warm it up. .
Qin Keqing has a gentle and gentle temperament and is friendly to others. She treats Ruizhu and Baozhu as sisters. She is no worse than Wang Xifeng treats Ping'er and Daiyu treats Zicuckoo. He even treats the two girls a little more affectionately because of his background. Ruizhu and Baozhu also treated Qin Keqing like his own sister.
"Well, what, Baozhu, have you found out the news?" Qin Keqing suddenly became excited.
"No, no, grandma, if I really found out the news, how could I not tell you immediately?" Seeing Qin Keqing's excitement, Bao Zhu quickly took Qin Keqing's hand and said, "I just think that the master and uncle may know something. , but I may not know everything, but I have been observing carefully in the past six months, and I feel that I should know it by now..."
"Why do you say that?" Qin Keqing was very sensitive and asked immediately.
"Grandma, do you remember that uncle went out once in May and June?" Baozhu said with some thoughts hidden in her brows, "I heard that she went to Yongping Mansion to give some Songhua Ling forgings to Uncle Feng and Aunt You.
and some local specialties, but it turns out that the uncle does not value the two aunts of the Feng family so much. Although the two aunts are our wife's sisters, they are not related by blood, and the two aunts have never entered the house.
So the old man said that the two aunts were ignorant of etiquette and were not welcome to see each other. The old lady often came into the house, but except for his wife, no one around him paid much attention to her..."
Qin Keqing also knows that Mrs. You comes to the house frequently, but she is the wife's mother after all. Although she is not related by blood, she must have a status. She respects him, but she also feels that other people in the house are a little bit different.
cold.
However, the old lady was a shrewd and open-minded character. She was smiling all the time, and she didn't care even if she got cold. Of course, I don't know if she really didn't care or if she was hiding it in her heart.
"So what? Why are you still related to Mrs. You?" Qin Keqing was a little confused.
"No, I'm just surprised that the master doesn't like to see the two aunts of the Feng family. Why do you rush to Yongping Mansion this time to deliver silks, satins, and local specialties? Are you so flattering?" Baozhu asked.
road.
Qin Keqing shook his head slowly this time: "Baozhu, you don't know that the uncle went to send silks and satins and souvenirs not to please the two aunts, but to please that little Feng Xiuzan."
"Yes, I remember grandma once said that the person inside and outside the house who knows grandma's life experience may be Xiao Feng Xiu Zhuan, but that Xiao Feng Xiu Zhuan treats grandma like a snake and a scorpion, but the more this happens, the more...
It means that he must know about grandma’s life experience, and grandma’s life experience must be unusual.”
Baozhu said with certainty: "Grandma, think about it again. I didn't have much dealings with Uncle Feng at first. It can be seen from the fact that Uncle Feng often goes to and from the West Mansion, but rarely comes to our East Mansion.
But why did the uncle travel hundreds of miles to see Xiao Feng Xiuzhan this time?"
"What happened?" Qin Keqing still didn't understand.
"Grandma Ke once remembered that before the uncle went to Yongping Mansion, he came back very late one night, and together with the master, he was in a bad mood for a few days after coming back, and even Shou'er was whipped by the uncle?" Baozhu looked at him.
Flashing, black as diamond.
Shou'er is Jia Zhen's personal servant. Logically speaking, Jia Rong cannot be beaten. Even if he offends Jia Rong, Jia Rong's gentle temperament will not hit anyone, but he was whipped by Jia Rong.
, indeed rare.
"The servant asked Shou'er why he was beaten. Shou'er was also baffled. He only said that he accompanied the old man to Xuanzhen Temple and came back in the middle of the night. He was so nagging that he said one more thing and was beaten.
,…”
Baozhu's words shocked Qin Keqing, "Are you saying that I went to Xuanzhen Temple?"
Xuanzhenguan was the father-in-law's father. Everyone in the government knew where Grandpa Jia Jing became a monk and practiced Taoism. However, he lived in a simple way and had never seen her even after she got married. Grandpa Jia Jing was a Jinshi, which was very important to Rong.
It was a great honor for Ning Erfu, but in the end Jia Jing became a monk and practiced Taoism inexplicably, which was very mysterious and strange.
"Yes, that's when I learned that the master had been in a bad mood for a few days after he came back from Xuanzhen Temple. Then he went to Yongping Mansion, and not long after that, he passed away..."
Each word of the orb is like ice falling on a jade plate, crisp and a bit cold.
