Chapter 102 Qin Keqing, flowers bloom overnight①

Qin Zhong also thought that Mrs. Wang had discovered that he and Li Wan were getting too close, and was she secretly beating him?

But he was not nervous at all. Instead, he was as happy as if he had received a reward, squinting his eyes and smiling back to Mrs. Wang.

"My godmother is right. The place is really small. Yesterday, I was there giving a lecture to Lange. I didn't know what was going on when I was concentrating on the lecture. But when I came back to my senses, I realized that I was sweating all over. Yesterday, I was busy with things.

, the child is still smelly right now. I am still thinking about how to talk to my godmother and ask for a quiet and spacious place."

Finished talking.

Mrs. Wang was startled for a moment, and then laughed. Apparently Qin Zhong and Li Wan had guessed wrong, so Mrs. Wang meant to blame them for being too close, and she didn't even know that they often met in the hall.

I don’t know if it’s because Mrs. Wang thinks Qin Zhong is young, or because of something else. Or perhaps because she believes that Li Wan comes from a family of poetry, calligraphy and etiquette, Mrs. Wang doesn’t say anything about the relationship between uncle and sister-in-law.

She said: "Just say what you want. Even your sister Feng can handle these trivial matters for you. Now that there is class, there are too many maids and women walking around to disturb your mind. Several people gathered in the door,

It’s not ridiculous, it’s not like we don’t have room at home.”

After hearing this, Li Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The palace judge has always believed that an upright person is not afraid of a slanted shadow, but the strange thoughts and dreams last night made her feel very uncomfortable.

At the same time, I felt a little aggrieved because of Mrs. Wang's words.

She is a dignified grandma, but she has no housekeeping rights at home, so there is no easy way to arrange it. The small space in the hallway is the best I can think of. The old lady's side is the busiest, and Lang Ge'er is too young to be like Mr. Zheng.

Second Master Lian has his own outer study room on the west side of the south hall.

Not only is there no outer study, there is no inner study either. Even if there is an inner study, Jingqing cannot be allowed to enter the courtyard, let alone the inner study.

A while ago, Grandma Zhu heard that the mansion was going to decorate an external study room for Mr. Bao outside the second door. In those days, she also wanted to find an external study room for Lan Xiaozi.

Li Wan, however, was never able to speak. She was not good at speaking at all, and she heard Brother Huan's whispers behind his back a few days ago, so it was even more difficult to talk about it. She was afraid that the ladies would think that she was the one with her.

Brother Huan had the same idea. He wanted to do something when he saw Baoyu.

At this moment, Li Wan also remained silent.

Qin Zhong didn't know what was going on in Rongguo Mansion. Even if he knew, he wouldn't think of asking for a study room for Brother Lan.

He can sympathize, but he won't interfere. If he doesn't ask for help, won't it be embarrassing and hurt his feelings? If he does ask for help, will he miss the opportunity to meet Li Wan by staying with Jia Lan outside the second door from now on?

Jingqing said: "I thought it was too late to come back from Ningguo Mansion yesterday and I didn't want to disturb the old lady late at night, so I went to stay with my sister. Only then did I realize that that place is really wonderful."

Can it be bad? The layout of the houses there is the same as that of the old lady's main house. It was originally a resting place for Duke Rong in his early years. Later, it became a place for the brothers and sisters in the mansion to play. When Yuanchun entered the palace, Jia Zhu died of illness.

The place became deserted and was only occasionally used as a temporary residence for female guests visiting the house.

Mrs. Wang pondered for a moment. No one knew exactly what she was thinking, and no one could figure out her thoughts.

She said: "Since you look satisfied, come over and stay there later. I will go to the old lady to explain, and save you a lot of work. Yu Chuan'er will still serve you, if you always

When you come, call the two little girls over to take care of the house on a daily basis."

Qin Zhong may be really confused now.

Then I heard Mrs. Wang continue to say: "If your sister comes over in the future, it will be too late to go back, so she might as well continue to live in the room partitioned off by the blue gauze cupboard."

Bisha cupboard, also called partition Bisha cupboard, its main function is to separate several connected rooms into small rooms.

Because there are very few walls in ancient Chinese buildings, a building is actually a large room, which is divided into several functional areas. These functional areas are usually partitioned by chairs, benches, or gauze cabinets.

However, the Bisha cupboard also has several very bad disadvantages, that is, it is not soundproof; and the advantage is that it is not soundproofed. So usually the masters live in the gauze cupboard, or leave a maid to accompany the bed in the gauze cupboard. However, the gauze cupboard

No matter what sound happens inside, it can be heard clearly outside.

So if someone secretly does something with someone in the gauze closet, the maid sleeping outside the gauze closet will know it clearly.

Therefore, after Qin Zhong heard what Mrs. Wang said, he immediately declined. "I have thanked my godmother for her kindness, so how can I ask the sisters who serve my godmother to serve me? I may not be able to stay here permanently. I will be called the maid of the Qin family when I come here."

Just follow.”

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly and said: "They may not know the situation in the mansion, and they may not recognize all the houses. From now on, just ask Yuchuan'er to go with you. Her monthly money will still be received from the mansion. With her accompanying you,

I’m relieved too.”

this……

Qin Zhong understood what he meant. Today he got a maid who didn't need to spend any money.

For a moment, I didn’t know whether to be happy or worried. When I thought about the original novel Red Mansions, the Rongguo Mansion had the custom of giving maids as gifts, such as the azalea of ​​Daiyu, the green wisps of Xiangyun, and the Qingwen of Baoyu. He unexpectedly

I can't figure out whether Mrs. Wang's actions were out of good intentions or out of caution.

but……

Qin Zhong looked back at Yu Chuan'er who was waiting behind him. This girl was also pretty and considerate in her work. However, if she was brought back to the Qin family, I don't know what Ruizhu, Baozhu, and Mingzhu would think.

When he came out of Mrs. Wang's yard, his head was still buzzing. When he looked at Yu Chuan'er who was following behind him, he felt his head was even bigger.

He is still not used to having a tail around him. It is inconvenient to do many things and he cannot let go of his hands and feet.

We have to find a way to make this maid give up.

Qin Zhong was calculating secretly in his heart.

The two of them just came out of Mrs. Wang's courtyard and walked on the long road, but Yu Chuan'er felt aggrieved first.

Not long after, Qin Zhong actually heard the sound of Yu Chuan'er secretly sniffing. He looked back and saw that Yu Chuan'er's eyes had turned red early. He thought to himself: Are you so wronged by following me?

I couldn't help but frown, feeling very unhappy.

When Yu Chuan'er saw his expression, she became even more panicked and aggrieved. Her slightly thin body trembled. Unfortunately, she was too young or was born with a slight infertility to be able to tremble one after another.

Yuchuan'er's tears fell faster, falling like a bead curtain.

Qin Zhong asked dissatisfied: "Why are you crying?"

Yuchuan'er sniffed nervously and said aggrievedly: "I'm crying because I have never been liked by the uncle."

Um?

Could it be a misunderstanding? Qin Zhong was stunned, thinking that it was Yu Chuan'er who felt that following him was too aggrieved.

"How do you say this?"

Yu Chuan'er wiped away her tears, lowered her head and replied honestly: "I was brought to serve you by my uncle's side. He was willing to talk to me about anything, and he didn't give me any instructions on big or small matters. From now on, I really followed the uncle, but he couldn't.

I like it, I wonder how my life will be easy."

Qin Zhong opened his mouth slightly and stayed for a moment. After pondering the meaning, he pulled Yu Chui'er's small hand and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? You used to be the wife and predecessor, so it's not easy for me to give too many orders. I was just thinking about what to do."

Tell Sister Yuchuan to be more patient in the future."

Yu Chuan'er's eyes lit up. It was such a strange scene that she stopped crying immediately.

A moment of embarrassment flashed across Yuchuan'er's small face, and she replied: "Since I have followed you, I can only follow you. If you are sincere, you will just call me by your name in the future."

The little girl said this as if she was destined for life. But Qin Zhong also understood that in the past, he had not paid attention to the relationship between the master and the maid, and simply thought that they were superior and subordinate.

When I think about it carefully, I remember that everything in a slave's life is directly in the hands of his master.

He even remembered a deed of betrayal he had seen in a history museum in his previous life:

"Because I had no means of food and clothing, and could hardly make ends meet, I petitioned the people in Hunzhong to negotiate with me and make me senior, thirty-five years old; my wife, Wu, who was twenty-nine years old; my eldest son, Quan'er, who was twelve years old; and my second son.

The second son, seven years old, a total of four, was sold to Wang Chun's house as a servant. The price was negotiated for fifteen taels of silver, and the silver was used on the same day. After the sale, the owner changed his name and made no investment. The origin is unknown.

Wait for the disadvantages. If something unexpected happens, everyone has his destiny."

Although the national law restricts masters from abusing and killing slaves, there is a lot of room for manipulation. A slave who really does not like his master will suddenly disappear one day, and in fact few people will pursue him.

Even in this Rongguo Mansion, are there still a few maids who die every year?

Qin Zhong nodded repeatedly, and it was no wonder that Yu Chuan'er was so nervous. He held her hand, and gently wiped away her tears with the other hand, comforting her with a smile: "Look at how many times I have treated someone badly? You

Now that you have followed me, you will definitely have more fun in life than others. But don’t think about it anymore. I will introduce some sisters to you later."

Yu Chuan'er hummed softly and secretly raised her eyes to look at him, her cheeks flushed and her heart beating fast.

[Yuchuaner's favorability +13, Yangshou increased by 13 days (current favorability: 13)]

Qin Zhong saw that Yu Chuan'er was silent and didn't reply, but he had a reminder in his mind. He couldn't help but change the topic and pretended to ask about Yu Chuan'er's family affairs.

Yu Chuan'er then introduced him gently.

It turns out that Yu Chuan'er's surname is Bai, and she has an older sister named Jin Chuan. Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan are both maids of Mrs. Wang. Jin Chuan is lively and bright, while Yu Chuan is silent and hardworking. Both sisters are actually Wang Chuan.

The proud maid beside the madam.

Qin Zhong naturally knew these contents. He even knew that Yu Chuan's sister Jin Chuan died in the original work because of Bao Yu.

Qin Zhong joked: "I separated your two sisters, so you won't blame me?"

Yu Chuan'er shook his head. The two of them had arrived in front of the big screen wall. Yu Chuan'er actually entered Wang Xifeng's courtyard with some traces of crying still remaining on his eyelashes. He inquired about the news and then invited Qin Zhong in.

At this time, Qin Keqing asked: "Can you please sister, let Jingqing and the second girl have more contact in the future?"

"Why did you choose her?" Wang Xifeng was very puzzled. He chose the second girl instead of the third girl. The lady in the second room could still talk to her, but the first room was full of Mr. Pardon.

It’s up to you.

When Wang Xifeng heard that Qin Zhong was about to come in, she made a quick calculation in her heart and said: "You will come more often in the future and join him in joking with the sisters. From now on..."
