Reluctance

Just as Wang Xifeng was about to explain, Baoyu came back first.

He just talked about how he met and how he got involved with Ning and Rong, and then he praised Qin Zhong's character and behavior.

Wang Xifeng helped by saying, "A few days ago, I said I came to pay homage to my ancestors, but I didn't expect that I actually came on the third day of the Lunar New Year." After saying this, Jia's mother became happy and asked her maid to summon Qin Zhong to come in.

Wang Xifeng added: "That day he came to pay homage, and he made an appointment with Brother Bao to go to school together. Now that Brother Bao has a friend to study with, he can no longer cause trouble."

Mother Jia noticed Qin Zhong's handsome appearance and gentle demeanor when she saw him last time. Now she is studying with Baoyu again, and she is very happy.

After he came in and bowed, he asked Sister Feng which room she had arranged for Qin Zhong.

Jia's mother said: "Don't stay with those people who don't make progress. Good guys will be led astray by them. Just live here with me and be with Baoyu. There are no restrictions."

Baoyu was most delighted after hearing this, and felt that in addition to her sisters, she had another companion at home.

Qin Zhong just agreed, but he was thinking secretly in his heart.

He could remember the current situation of Rongguo Mansion in the original work. Although he was welcoming the spring and visiting the spring, Xichun lived in the small house in the back of Mrs. Wang's courtyard. Jia Huan lived with Aunt Zhao in the east of Mrs. Wang's courtyard. Li Wan and Jia Lan also lived there. Behind Madam Wang's Courtyard.

In addition to Baoyu, Lin Daiyu also lives in Jiamu's courtyard.

Even though he knew that Qin Zhong lived in Jia Mu's courtyard when he was reading in the original book, he still felt a little ups and downs after hearing it now.

I wonder if I will have a chance to look at Lin Daiyu in the future?!

It's not that I like it much, it's mainly because I'm curious.

After entering the world of Red Mansions, who doesn't want to see the true style of Twelve Hairpins?

Not to mention Lin Daiyu, but other characters, even Grandma Liu...

He would also look up curiously.

Just like when you meet a famous person in real life, you will always stretch your neck to take a look at his appearance.

Qin Zhong only stayed by Jia Mu's side to talk, and then saluted Mrs. Xing next to her. Unfortunately, his favorability did not increase.

When he saw Mrs. Wang looking at her again, he went to Mrs. Wang again and said obediently: "Wish you good health and good luck, madam!"

Mrs. Wang had been thinking about Jia Zhu too much these days. She was confused for a moment after hearing this voice, and she almost recognized him by mistake. She hurriedly said: "Good boy, get up quickly and go play inside with Baoyu."

[Mrs. Wang's favorability +5, Yangshou increased by 5 days (current favorability: 15)]

"..."

Qin Zhong was speechless. Looking at the many ladies and grandmothers in the room, he really didn't want to give up this great opportunity to gain favorability.

But after listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Baoyu actually pulled up his sleeve and said, "We won't deal with them. Let's go inside and play with ourselves."

Qin Zhong grinned helplessly. Regardless of whether everyone in the room knew each other, he bowed his hands and said, "Good luck to you, ladies and gentlemen! Good luck, good luck and everything goes well."

As soon as he spoke, Baoyu took him away.

At the right time, Mrs. Wang Ziteng gave Wang Xifeng a look.

After a while, Mrs. Wang went to talk secretly with Mrs. Wang Ziteng.

"Your brother replied to a letter and mentioned the Qin family child in the letter." Mrs. Wang Ziteng said calmly.

Mrs. Wang said happily: "What do you think, brother?"

"It's hard to guess the holy will. Children of the Qin family can be treated as normal, amiable or distant. For other things, pretend not to know." Mrs. Wang Ziteng said in a low voice. The situation in the court has been unclear recently, and although Wang Ziteng has been promoted to nine The provincial governor was transferred away from the capital, as if there were two forces secretly pulling the strings.

"..."

In the room over there, it turns out that Jia Baoyu got a big Monaihe toy during the Chinese New Year, and he was going to test Qin Zhong with it.

Qin Zhong didn't know why, and when he entered the house, he realized that it was a wooden mortise-and-tenon structure of the Kongming Twelve Square Lock.

There were not many children's toys in this era, among which the most popular ones were Kong Mingsuo, Tangram, and Nine Links.

The so-called son spells Kong Mingsuo, and the female spells the Nine Links.

If they are friends of the same sex, they like to use Kong Mingsuo and other tests to test their "difficult" companions to show their intelligence.

If a man and a woman are childhood sweethearts, they will solve the nine links to increase the fun in the boudoir.

Now Baoyu is only eleven or twelve years old, which is the age for fun, and he is especially fond of puzzle toys such as Kong Mingsuo and Nine Links.

Qin Zhong was distracted by this.

He solved the problem and worked hard, but he didn't hear Jia Baoyu say, "You are awesome!".

Without the bonus of this sentence, even if I gain a little favorability from Jia Baoyu, it still feels a little less interesting.

Jia Baoyu's favorability score is 33, which is as high as Wang Xifeng!

I went to Jia's house today and gained six points. The jungle mission was completed and I could spend another six days.

Qin Zhong planned to go home, but Baoyu was still in high spirits.

He said: "It's late today, I should go back. If you want to play with it someday, I'll have someone send you a better wooden toy."

Baoyu asked: "When will Mr. Jing come again?"

Qin Zhong calculated the time and realized that he would definitely come back after the Lantern Festival. He and Baoyu left the room and said goodbye to Jia Mu. They even received compliments from Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng urged again.

…

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan, there are 913 days left in Yangshou.

The Lantern Festival is the beginning of spring. People who have been dormant all winter begin to go out for activities, which is more lively than the Spring Festival.

That night, lights and torches were lit everywhere inside and outside the sacred city, from the imperial palace to the people's courtyards, and everything was as bright as day.

On this night, the women who often live in the backyards of wealthy families will also come out of the gate. The married women will wear green-white and beige clothes that resemble the moonlight, and they will cross the bridge every time. One by one, they will line up to go to Zhengyang Gate and touch the front door.

Bronze nails are placed on the Yangmen to pray for blessings and children.

Some people will write acrostic poems and cryptic words and stick them on the wall of the house for visitors to guess. If they guess correctly, they will be rewarded with items.

It's just that all these things in Shenjing City have nothing to do with Qin Zhong.

On this day, he sacrificed his ancestors and had a family banquet. The lights in the Qin Mansion were lit, and Qin Zhong went to Qin Keqing to guard him.

"Sister, don't you go to the city to see the excitement?"

Qin Keqing took a quick look at him, and realized that the best scenery was at Qin's house, so there was really no need to go outside.

Ke Qing asked: "Would you like to take a look, Mr. Jing?"

Qin Zhong shook his head and said: "I'm not interested in that labor. I just think that my sister stays at home all year round and has no chance to go out. If my sister wants to go, I will go over and be a guard to protect the flowers."

"Glib tongue!" Qin Keqing snorted softly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Qin Zhong whispered into his sister's ear: "Sister, you still remember it. I want to experience it again."

Sigh~

Qin Keqing blushed and spat. Fortunately, he was busy these days and was spared Jingqing's harassment.

However, she could see that Ruizhu's eyes had changed when he looked at Jingqing recently. He even glared at Qin Zhong angrily. He had become a pervert at a young age.

She was about to say something again, but she remembered that Jing Qing would be leaving in a few days, and she felt both reluctance and expectation.

She asked the master for his opinion and found out that the current tutor in the Jia Family School was Jia Dairu, the current old Confucian. With Qin Zhong gone, his studies would improve and he could hope to become famous, so she was very happy.

Qin Keqing looked at Qin Zhong, feeling increasingly reluctant to leave, and took the initiative to take Qin Zhong's hand.

"I went to Jia's house in a few days. Don't talk like this and be criticized."

"Don't worry." Qin Zhong replied, his eyebrows were dancing, and he said: "Sister's hands are so cold, let me rub them!"

"Let's get down to business!" Qin Keqing continued to glare at him, but had nothing to do with Qin Zhong, so he had to continue talking. "I took more than twenty taels of silver from the treasury. When you leave, I will show my respect to the Jia family's master. I also prepared a gift.

I plan to give it to Second Grandma Lian, so you can be taken care of by her at Jia's house."

Qin Zhong nodded.

Even though Qin Keqing is young and has never been out, she is very unambiguous in her work.

He looked at the emotion in his sister's eyes and felt something moved in his heart.

"I don't live in Jia's house all the time, but I live there every few days, and I even go home to see my sister."

"You don't want me to see you!" Qin Keqing said slightly coyly, "Qing Jing is studying at Jia's house. It's best to study in one go."

Enter school and become a scholar.

It's not that easy!

He didn't go to Jia's house to study.

At this time, somewhere in Shenjing City, Xu Yuanyi, the former Minister of Household Affairs, smiled like a silly child.

"I understand, I understand!"
