In the afternoon, Qin Keqing's maid Ruizhu sent congratulatory gifts, including a picture of "Begonia Sleeping in Spring" painted by Tang Bohu, and a couplet written by Qin Taixu, a scholar of the Song Dynasty: "The tender cold locks dreams because of the cold spring, and the fragrance is astonishing. Wine aroma.
This gift is in line with Jia Huan's status as a scholar, but the gift is a bit too heavy.
Jia Huan remembered that in the book of Red Mansions, these two paintings and calligraphy appeared in Qin Keqing's boudoir.
The furnishings in Qin Keqing's boudoir are magnificent, probably even worse than those in Jia Mu's room.
Qin Keqing's identity can also be seen from this.
Jia Huan thanked her for the gift, then called Ruizhu into the study alone, handed a packet of medicinal powder to Ruizhu, and carefully explained the precautions to her.
This Ruizhu is quite reliable.
In The Book of Red Mansions, after Qin Keqing's death, Ruizhu died by touching a pillar, which can be regarded as martyring her lover.
After Ruizhu got the medicinal powder, she was very happy and hurried back to Dongfu.
After coming back, Qin Keqing was taking a nap and kicked out all the maids around him.
After Ruizhu entered, Qin Keqing quickly asked: "Ruizhu, has Uncle Huan prepared the powder?"
Ruizhu nodded slightly and took out the powder from his sleeve.
Qin Keqing said excitedly: "Hurry, apply it to me quickly."
Ruizhu nodded, then wrapped her hands in silk cloth and began to apply it on Qin Keqing's face, neck and arms.
Since this medicinal powder can cause acne, which looks like measles, it must be poisonous.
Although it is not very toxic, it can still irritate the skin to some extent.
Qin Keqing only needs to look like she has measles on the surface. There is no need to apply powder on her body or take off her clothes to show others.
After applying the medicinal powder, Ruizhu put it away, and the master and servant waited eagerly to see whether the medicinal powder was effective.
Not long after, Qin Keqing felt scratches on his face, neck and arms.
She was not surprised but happy, and said quickly: "There is a reaction."
Ruizhu quickly took a closer look and found that Qin Keqing's face and neck were indeed red and swollen.
Next, they miraculously discovered that Qin Keqing actually had dense pimples on her face, neck and arms.
And its shape is almost the same as measles.
Seeing this, both the master and the servant were overjoyed.
Done!
The method given by Mr. Huan Sanye is really useful.
Ruizhu waited for a while, then came out impatiently and said: "It's not good, it's not good, grandma has a lot of acne on her body, I'm afraid it's measles! Go and ask the doctor quickly."
Upon hearing the news, the maids immediately got into a mess and scattered in all directions.
This is measles. Once infected, it will kill people.
They are living well, are there any who are not afraid of death?
This news soon reached Jia Zhen's ears.
After learning the news, Jia Zhen didn't believe it at first.
Jia Zhen actually knew Qin Keqing's life experience, as the orphan of the former deposed prince.
His father, Jia Jing, was once an official in the East Palace of the deposed crown prince, and was later deposed because of the crown prince.
In order not to drag down the entire Jia family, Jia Jing became a Taoist priest.
However, Jia Jing was loyal to the deposed prince in the end. Even though he was a monk, he secretly sent an orphan of the deposed prince to a health care center, and then quietly let a small official Qin Bangye adopt him, and finally let her marry In the Jia Mansion, marrying Jia Rong, the great-great-grandson of the Ningguo Mansion, is a good move.
Jia Jing's actions can be said to be the most benevolent and righteous treatment for the deposed prince.
Jia Jing also warned Jia Zhen that Jia Zhen must not wrong Qin Keqing in the slightest.
However, Jia Jing still didn't understand his son after all.
If a normal person knew Qin Keqing's identity, he would definitely exalt her and never let her suffer any injustice.
But this Jia Zhen was originally a psychologically twisted person. When he learned about Qin Keqing's life experience and saw her graceful charm, he didn't think about how to support her.
On the contrary, she felt a strong possessive desire, and her identity as an orphan of the royal family made Jia Zhen tremble with excitement just thinking about it.
Every time she saw Qin Keqing, Jia Zhen was so excited that she went crazy.
Therefore, before Qin Keqing came through, Jia Zhen found an opportunity and beat Jia Rong half to death, and warned Jia Rong that he was not allowed to mess with his wife after she came over.
And Jia Rong, who had long been abandoned under Jia Zhen's lustful power, really didn't dare to touch Qin Keqing after being warned by Jia Zhen.
Even after he knew that Jia Zhen had thoughts about Qin Keqing, he didn't resist at all.
And Jia Zhen not only coveted this daughter-in-law, but also gradually developed into true love.
He didn't just want to be happy for a while, he actually wanted to stay with his daughter-in-law forever.
Therefore, during the two years since Qin Keqing came in, Jia Zhen was not too forceful.
Instead, Jia Rong kept scolding him like a grandson to show his majesty.
While constantly looking for many good things to give to his daughter-in-law, some of the furnishings in Qin Keqing's room were relics of the deposed prince, and more were sent by Jia Zhen.
Then he tried a little bit of temptation and a little bit of coercion. Not only did he want to get his daughter-in-law's body, but he also wanted to get her heart.
However, in the past two years, she has never succeeded, and Jia Zhen gradually lost her patience.
He was ready to get her body first, and then slowly get her heart.
Jia Zhen has prepared the incense. He is ready to use the incense when Qin Keqing comes to greet her again in the evening, and he will get her body first.
However, at this moment, news came that Qin Keqing had measles. How could he believe it?
This must be Qin Keqing's escape plan to protect himself.
Therefore, when Jia Zhen learned the news, she immediately decided to expose her daughter-in-law's plan herself.
Jia Zhen came to visit her daughter-in-law in person.
At this time, no one would think there was anything wrong with the father-in-law visiting his daughter-in-law in her room to check on her condition.
Because except for Ruizhu, all the maids around Qin Keqing had disappeared.
This is measles. Who is not afraid of death?
Jia Zhen strode in easily, and then asked with concern: "But Qing, I heard that you have measles? I came here to have a look, is it important?"
A father-in-law actually calls his daughter-in-law by her nickname, which sounds inappropriate.
Qin Keqing said quickly: "Father, measles is contagious to people. You must not come in."
Jia Zhen laughed and said: "It doesn't matter. Although measles is poisonous, why should it be more important to you...ah! You, you, are really..."
Before Jia Zhen finished speaking, she saw clearly the dense pimples on Qin Keqing's face and neck.
Jia Zhen had seen measles before and was immediately sure that it was real measles.
He didn't live enough. He was so brave only when he thought it was a lie.
Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, how can I dare to be so bold? He immediately turned around and left without stopping for a moment.
