Looking at this handsome little nun Zhi'er, he thought of a romantic affair that happened in Shuiyue An.
Now Qin Zhong and Baoyu are still young and have not stayed.
However, due to his intervention, some things have begun to go wrong, and it is not certain whether the two of them will have a chance.
In fact, this result is not bad. At least the Qin family father and son do not have to die.
Everyone was very tired after working so hard for so many days. After being assigned to their own rooms, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Jia Cong came to his room and was about to close the door when a little tail came behind him.
"Fourth sister, aren't you tired? Why don't you go to rest quickly and come to my place again?"
Xichun pointed outside and said, "Third brother, it's not dark yet. Where can I sleep? I'm afraid you'll be bored, so I came here to stay with you."
Jia Cong looked at this little guy with a speechless expression on his face. He was worried that I would be bored, so he came to relieve my boredom with me?
I don't believe her words at all. It's enough to let me relieve your boredom. I guess you want to hear stories again.
I have been too busy to tell stories during this period, but when I finally got the chance, this little girl probably couldn't hold it in anymore.
This Zen room is very simple, but it is quite clean.
Xichun took a quick look after coming in, then went directly to the low couch and sat on the futon above.
He waved to Jia Cong and said, "Third brother, come up quickly and let's start telling stories."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Fourth sister, aren't you here to relieve my boredom? Why do you still need me to tell you stories?"
Xichun said with a smile: "Third brother, I'll come here to accompany you, and you tell me stories. Then won't we both be bored?"
This sounds so reasonable that I can’t refuse even if I want to.
The deaths of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong had almost no impact on Xichun.
Come to think of it, we're not even close to each other in the first place, and we only see each other a few times a year, so there's no difference between him and a stranger.
He found a futon and sat down opposite Xichun. Xichun got up again, leaned towards him, sat down next to him, raised his little face, and waited for him to tell a story.
Jia Cong fondly touched her little head and said with a smile: "I will tell you a story about "The Little Match Girl" today."
"Yeah, yeah, I love to hear whatever stories Third Brother tells."
Jia Cong smiled and began to talk: "In a cold winter, a little girl was selling matches on the street...
But she didn't sell a match. She was cold and hungry, so she couldn't help but polish a match...
The little girl polished a whole handful of matches... The little girl closed her eyes with a smile on her lips. "
Xichun's eyes filled with tears when she heard this, and she pouted and said, "Third brother, that little girl is so pitiful, how could you let her die?"
Jia Cong helped her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, this is just a story. Just listen to it, but don't get too involved."
Xichun leaned on Jia Cong and murmured: "Third brother, is there really such a pitiful little girl in this world?"
"Yes, there are many. There are many poor people in this world. They lack food and clothing. Some of them freeze to death, and some of them starve to death. They can't even imagine a life like ours.
So we should live happily and live every day happily. If we encounter any dissatisfaction or dissatisfaction, just think of that little match girl. Our life is ten thousand times better than hers. . "
Xichun nodded obediently, "I know Third Brother, I will live happily every day in the future, Third Brother must also be happy, and we will all be happy."
"Well, we will all be happy and grow up together."
"Third brother, can I sleep in your room today?"
When Jia Cong heard this, he shook his head decisively. Although the two of them were still young and there was nothing wrong with living together, it would be bad if rumors spread about it.
The little girl is ignorant, so I can't spoil her too much.
"Fourth sister, this is not okay. People will definitely criticize us if they find out, and the old lady will also scold us if they find out.
Xichun pouted and said, "It's so annoying that I can't even sleep with my brother. Then third brother, please play with me for a while."
Jia Cong smiled and patted her shoulder and said, "Well, when you are sleepy, my brother will take you back. Big families like ours are all about rules and respect, so there are more restrictions.
When it comes to poor people, they don't have to pay so much attention. There is only one room and one bed at home, and parents and children sleep on the same bed. They don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, so they don't have the mood to care about these things. "
"Third brother, you know so much."
The two brothers and sister were chatting nonchalantly when they heard a "squeak" and the door was pushed open.
The two looked up and saw a little nun walking in with tea.
"I've met the third master, and I've met the fourth girl."
When I got closer, I saw clearly that it was Zhi'er.
Xichun and Zhi'er were quite familiar with each other, and asked, "Oh, it's you Zhi'er. What are you doing in the third brother's house?"
Zhi'er smiled and said: "Fourth girl, my master is afraid that Third Master will not be used to being here, so he asked me to come over and serve him."
What? Serve me?
Jia Cong couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. What does that old nun Jingxu want to do?
Asking Zhi'er to come over and serve him clearly has an impure purpose.
This old nun wanders around the back houses of various wealthy families, taking on any dirty work and doing anything as long as she can make money.
The reason for adopting Zhi'er is just to wait for her to grow up and sell her at a good price.
This smart boy is only eleven or twelve years old, about the same age as himself, and he is quite pretty, but after all, he is still young, so he is more cute.
Is this because he wants Zhi'er to seduce him?
I really underestimate myself. Although there are many children from wealthy families who start messing around with maids in their teens, I am not that kind of person.
"Thank you for your trouble, master. It's very nice here. There's nothing I'm not used to. Help me say thank you to your master."
Zhi'er smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite to us, Third Master. It's our honor for Third Master to come to our place."
This little nun was quite good at talking, and she knew the two of them. She was not polite at all, and went directly to the low couch and sat next to them.
Xichun asked: "Zhi'er, why haven't you been to our house for so long?"
Zhi'er said: "My master has been busy recently, running around here and there. If she doesn't go to your house, I can't go to your house."
It was only after Xichun met Zhi'er first and then Miaoyu, plus she was not close to Dongfu and no one else cared about her, that she came up with the idea of becoming a monk.
I hope that I will be here in this life and will not follow the same old path again.
"Zhi'er, how old are you this year?"
Zhi'er smiled and said: "Third Master, I am twelve years old this year, one year older than you."
Jia Cong was a little puzzled. This little nun actually knew how old he was?
"Zhi'er, how did you know I was eleven years old?"
"My master travels around various houses and knows you young masters and ladies very well. I follow the master and naturally know a lot. Third Master, please let me stay and serve you tonight."
"Ah, Zhi'er, how could you do this? How can you serve my third brother as a nun?"
"What's wrong, nun? If I grow my hair, won't I be like you? Even if I don't accompany the third master today, my master will let me accompany other young masters in the future. I had several senior sisters in the past, and they are all older. From now on, let my master join a wealthy family."
I have to say that this Jingxu is still very capable and very capable.
Although she didn't agree with some of the things she did, she couldn't deny that this person was very capable.
Train some beautiful little apprentices and take them to various wealthy houses. If you like them, send them out directly. Others will not ask for them in vain and will naturally thank her.
It not only maintains the relationship, but also gets money. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
The little nuns who were adopted by her also used this to enter wealthy families. Although it is not possible for everyone to live a rich life, it is better than being a nun.
Many people want to enter a wealthy family, but there is no way for them yet.
"Zhi'er, I'm still young, so I don't dare to let you accompany me. Besides, our family is still having a funeral. If people find out, they won't kill us. You can go and accompany my fourth sister later. "
Xichun also said: "Yes, Zhi'er, we haven't seen each other for a long time. You can go to my room later and we can have a nice chat."
Zhi'er was a little disappointed when Jia Cong refused to let her accompany him, but she couldn't force such a thing, so she readily agreed when Xichun invited her.
"Well, since the third master won't keep me, I will go and talk to the fourth girl."
Hearing this, Xichun smiled on her face and thought, "The third brother won't let me sleep in his room, and I can't let Zhi'er sleep in the third brother's house. This Zhi'er can tell at a glance that he wants to seduce the third brother, but he can't." We can't let her succeed, so we should take her away as soon as possible. '
The three of them were together and talked for a while. Xichun stood up and said, "Come on, Zhi'er, go to my room, and the two of us can talk quietly."
Zhi'er glanced at Jia Cong and saw that he had no intention of keeping her, so she had no choice but to agree to Xichun.
"Third Master, I'm going to talk to the fourth girl in her room. If you have anything, you can go to me."
Jia Cong smiled and nodded: "Go, don't talk too late, go to bed early."
Seeing Xichun pulling Zhi'er away, Jia Cong shook his head. How could he not know about her little thoughts?
But this is good, it saves myself the trouble.
Jia Cong closed the door, went back to the low couch, lay down, and began to close his eyes and meditate.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open again.
Jia Cong frowned, who was it this late at night? Didn't you see that all the lights were turned off?
After the visitor entered the door, he closed the door again, walked a few steps to the bed, and asked softly: "Uncle Cong, are you asleep?"
It turned out to be Qin Keqing, a troublesome little goblin. Although they often met in Dongfu during this period, they were so crowded that they had not had a good conversation since they separated that day.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
"My nephew and wife, it's so late and you're not sleeping, why are you coming here again?"
Qin Keqing came closer, climbed directly onto the low couch, and lay down next to Jia Cong.
"Uncle Cong, I'm a little scared."
Jia Cong turned sideways, looked at her in confusion, and asked, "What are you afraid of? No one doubts you. The funeral will be over in two days. Can't you just live in peace from now on?"
Qin Keqing said: "Uncle Cong, I'm worried just because the funeral is about to end."
"What are you worried about? Are you afraid that the ghosts of their father and son will come to you?"
When Qin Keqing heard this, he was frightened, hugged Jia Cong, and said resentfully: "Uncle Cong, can you stop scaring me? I'm already worried enough."
Smelling the unique fragrance of Qin Keqing's body, she felt inexplicably good. She smiled and said, "I won't scare you anymore. Then tell me, what are you worried about?"
"Uncle Cong, after we go back, there will be only three of us women left in the East Mansion. One person will definitely take over the East Mansion and become the new owner of the East Mansion. Some people have been talking about this in the past few days."
Jia Cong nodded. There were no men left in the East Mansion. It was necessary to adopt a male to inherit the family. It would then depend on who Jia Jing would choose.
"Neither you nor your sister-in-law have children. It is necessary to adopt one person to inherit the incense. No matter who you choose, it is impossible to ignore yours. What is there to worry about?"
Qin Keqing arched Jia Cong's face and said worriedly: "Uncle Cong, I understand all these things. I'm afraid that someone else will bully me like the master. What should I do? Others have no scruples, and I have no ability to resist. .
Besides, I am already yours, Uncle Cong. If I am bullied, Uncle Cong’s face will be disgraced, right? "
Qin Keqing's worry is still very possible. No matter who takes over the Ningguo Mansion, it is equivalent to taking over these two little widows. If they want to live more comfortably, they can only rely on this man.
Facing a little goblin like Qin Keqing, almost no man can bear it. As long as his heart is moved, Qin Keqing can't resist in this Ningguo Mansion.
"Your worries are very reasonable. No matter who takes over the Ningguo Mansion, you are just delicious braised pork to them, and they will never let you go."
Qin Keqing chuckled and said, "Uncle Cong, do you want to eat my piece of braised pork? I've even left it in front of you, but I haven't seen you eating it yet?"
Jia Cong sighed and said, "It's a lie if you say you don't want to eat it. I'm just too young to help it. If I were sixteen years old now and you dared to do this, I would have eaten you long ago."
"Uncle Cong, you said so, what should I do? Can't you just ignore me?"
Jia Cong nodded and said: "There's nothing to worry about. If you want, you can move to my place. If you don't want to go, just tell them that you are mine. If they dare to touch you, he will send out another mourning." .”
Qin Keqing thought for a while and said: "Uncle Cong, there is no problem in doing this. Will it affect your reputation? After all, I am your nephew and wife?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I'm not a saint, so why do I want fame? Besides, if you go to my place quietly, how many people will know about it? I will naturally tell them to shut up over there. I won't look for you there. , you just stay at my place."
Qin Keqing was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Uncle Cong, it would be great if you could find a way to adopt us. In that case, you don't have to worry about anything. You also get a palace for free, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
