Ping'er actually dislikes 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 Feng Pavilion next to Tianxiang Tower is where Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing often played. It is close to Qinfang Creek and the rockery. The water and rocks complement each other, making it particularly elegant. In addition, the banks of the creek are lush with madder and flowers and trees. , it is a good place to go in summer.
Bypassing Doufengxuan 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?"
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 are now very close, and they often have wine and Gaolai 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 all 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 Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er to the Xue Dasha sending Xiang Ling, Feng Ziying was indeed served well, and 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. There is no comparison 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 expression, Ping'er wanted to say a few more words, but she thought that she hadn't seen 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 her tongue.
…
Seeing Ping'er's figure disappear at the door, Qin Keqing frowned and stood up, walking around the room, "Baozhu, what do you think the 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 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. I also didn’t know anything after asking about it. I only knew that one of the hometowns was in Datong, and the other 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. My second aunt is no longer my aunt. She and my second uncle Lian have reconciled, but she still wants to be strong. She still speaks the same truth in Rongguo Mansion, and the servants are even more afraid of her. "Qin Keqing smiled mockingly, "What can I have that makes her think about me?"
"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 Suhang. Instead, he has a serious capital accent. You have to listen carefully to hear it vaguely. 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 kind to others. She treats Ruizhu and Baozhu as sisters, 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 their own sisters.
"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 as soon as possible?" Seeing Qin Keqing's excitement, Bao Zhu quickly took Qin Keqing's hand and said, "I just think that the master and the 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 eyebrows, "I heard that she went to Yongping Mansion and gave 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 knew that Mrs. You came to the house frequently, but after all, she was the wife's mother. Although she was not related by blood, her status was indispensable. She did respect him, but she also felt that the other people in the house were 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, she didn't know whether she really didn't care or she kept 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 the two aunts of the Feng family very much. Why do you eagerly go to Yongping Mansion to deliver silks and souvenirs this time? 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 deliver silks, satins and local specialties not to please those 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 meet that little 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 her. Flashing, black as diamond.
Shou'er is Jia Zhen's personal servant. Logically speaking, Jia Rong is impossible to beat. 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 mansion knew where Grandpa Jia Jing became a monk and practiced Taoism. However, they 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. Later, 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.
