Chapter 283 Keqing(1/2)
The courtyard is deep, I don't know how many things are.
Jia Cong and Ping'er walked together in the back house of the East Mansion. Looking at the many courtyards, they were all covered in darkness, and unconsciously felt a sense of loneliness in their hearts.
The big room hurts people and attracts popularity.
Living in such a place may lead to longevity.
Even if I can, my heart will inevitably be suppressed and distorted...
Even after catching the task of carrying lanterns for Jia Cong and Ping'er, he chirped and cheerfully along the way, he walked deeper and quietly closed his mouth after walking through several courtyards.
From jumping in front to gradually falling behind Jia Cong...
Looking at the courtyard not far away, the gate of the courtyard was not closed, and a faint candlelight came from the gap.
Through the crack in the door, you can see the figure reflected on the window paper in the main house, as if wiping tears...
Jia Cong frowned slightly and said to Ping'er beside him: "Sister-in-law and the others live too far."
Ping'er sighed, hesitated, and said, "It's the old lady. The lady sent the old nanny to come and arranged it here directly."
After hearing this, Jia Cong pondered for a while and said, "We will leave Beijing early the next morning, and Ning'an Hall cannot be without a guard..."
Ping'er looked at Jia Cong with warm eyes, but said hesitantly: "The old lady's place..."
Jia Cong shook his head and said, "Nothing is wrong, I will go and talk... Let's go in and talk."
...
"Oh! Is the third brother here?"
The maid Yindie faced Jia Cong. After Ping'er entered, You Shi, dressed in plain clothes, was very surprised and hurriedly got up to greet her.
In terms of age, Youshi is only twenty-five or twenty-six years old this year, and she is a re-string.
She looks beautiful, but compared to last year, she is obviously more than three points taller than she is...
After bowing, Jia Cong looked at Youshi and asked hi.
Seeing Jia Cong holding the courtesy and respectful manner, a big stone fell in Youshi's heart, and a little grateful look on his face, and he said excitedly: "Sit, sit quickly, Miss Ping also!"
After Jia Cong sat down, Ping'er did not sit and smiled and said, "How can I sit in front of grandma?"
You Shi refused to rely on her and said with a smile: "How my third brother treats you, my family sees you. Tell me, who will treat you as a girl? In the past two years, the old lady and the wife have rewarded you with a lot of things, right?"
When Ping'er heard this, her pretty face turned red in an instant, so she was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to deal with herself.
Jia Cong glanced at Ping'er and smiled and said, "Sit down, my sister-in-law is a sensible person."
After hearing this, Ping'er became more and more embarrassed and angry, but she was unwilling to disobey Jia Cong's words. She sat down at the last seat with a shy face, which made her look even more touching.
After Yu Shi praised "Good blessing" with the eyes of the experienced people, she heard Jia Cong speak first: "I'm here today, I want to help my sister-in-law if I have something to do."
When You Shi was stunned when she heard this, she asked, "My third brother just say it if you have something to do."
Ping'er and Yindie also looked over curiously...
Jia Cong said: "Because I have the emperor's will, I have to go south to work. I will take Sister Ping'er and the girls who have been following me in the morning. There is no one left in Ning'an Hall to take care of it, and the house will be abandoned after a long desolation. So I hope my sister-in-law and Qin will move to the west wing of Ning'an Hall to help take care of it. I don't know how old I am when I go south, so I have to bother my sister-in-law."
When Youshi heard this, she couldn't believe it.
Is she a woman or the former hostess of this wealthy family?
She thought to herself that if she were Jia Cong, she would have tried her best to beware of her existence.
She sent people to invite Jia Cong again and again today to express her feelings:
She is a self-aware person and will never have any delusions about this family business, nor will she "rely on her seniority" to act like a sister-in-law's majesty.
But Youshi never expected that Jia Cong would arrange them like this.
She was a very wise person, so she naturally knew that Jia Cong's so-called care of the house was just an excuse, so she just arranged a few nannyes to clean it every day.
Jia Cong did this clearly to take care of her and Qin.
Most of the wealthy slaves are inferior to others.
In just a few days, she tasted enough of the taste.
If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have left her face and sent someone to see Jia Cong several times.
If Jia Cong could speak, her situation would not be too difficult.
I didn't expect that Jia Cong would speak first.
And this obviously wouldn't be a coincidence...
Youshi is actually in her best years now. She is despicable from a despicable family and was just Jia Zhen's concubine. However, because she is smart, well-behaved, and sensible, she was promoted to the right after Jia Zhen's original wife passed away.
Even though she is a woman with a bitter and cold body, she can imagine how beautiful her face and how she is.
In Cao Gong’s Red Mansion, the description of her is "The dead golden elixir is the only one who cares about her relatives and is a relative to her death."
The word "神" tells the full glory.
In terms of appearance and mind, it is definitely not inferior to Feng Jie.
However, Youshi was very self-aware. She knew that Jia Cong was not like Jia Zhen and others.
Not to mention the difference in age, just those calm and cold eyes, Youshi knew that Jia Cong had no minimum desire for her.
Perhaps it was because Jia Cong knew about the scandal between her and Jia Lian...
Thinking of this, Youshi was ashamed and ashamed, and almost had no face to look up to see someone.
However, she got up from the "bottom level" and did not delay the "big situation" because of these little thoughts. She looked at Jia Cong with great gratitude and said, "My third brother's intentions, sister-in-law understands, but now I am not very convenient to live in Ning'an Hall anymore. Even if my third brother is not in Beijing, there will inevitably be people gossiping. Qin and I are both lucky people, and we only want to spend the rest of our lives, but we cannot let our third brother bear the reputation of being unjust. If so, we will be unable to redeem our great sins even if we die ten thousand times..."
Seeing Jia Cong frowning slightly and wanting to say something, You Shi became more grateful and said in advance: "If you have this heart, it is better than anything else."
Jia Cong was silent after hearing this and asked again: "Sister-in-law, where is Qin?"
You Shi sighed and said, "This happened to her family. Her father and brother passed away one after another. In addition, she had a lot of thoughts. After the old lady and the wife asked us to move back, she couldn't get sick..."
When Jia Cong heard this, he frowned and said, "Have you ever hired a doctor to see it?"
You nodded, shook his head again, and said, "I sent a nanny, hired a doctor from Tongrentang, asked a few questions and made a statement... Now it is not as good as before. Before Brother Rong came back, Qin Shi couldn't stand the man."
Jia Cong was not full of righteous indignation when he heard this. In this pure patriarchal society, women's chastity and tranquility are greater than heaven. Even Ye Qing, who is closest to the style of later generations, has many shackles to trouble him, let alone a mere defeated grandson woman?
Although they are both women, in the eyes of Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others, the reputation of the Jia family is obviously not comparable to that of Qin's safety.
Wang Xifeng is like this...
This cannot be blamed on Mu Jia, Mrs. Wang and others for being cruel. This has been the case in China for thousands of years. In the final analysis, this is the rule set by men.
After thinking about it, Jia Cong said, "I will tell Sister Feng about this..."
You Shi smiled bitterly and whispered with shamelessness: "Brother Feng... I'm talking differently now."
Ping'er looked at her nose and nose from the side. She knew very well about the activities between Youshi and Jia Lian, not only Wang Xifeng said to her...
The reason why I followed Jia Cong today was just to be on guard against it.
In the wealthy family in the deep mansion, women who are unwilling to be lonely seduced men regardless of shame, which is not even old news.
Jia Cong could not judge right or wrong about such personal moral matters. Of course, he did not agree with You Shi and Jia Lian's approach, but Jia Zhen married You Shi, but regarded You Erjie and You Sanjie as stubborn things, and even Jia Rong was not clean. If you still ask You Shi to have no hatred in your heart, it would be too moral bitch.
He can't help much, nor does he have much time or interest, but it's life...
He thought for a while and said, "I'll go and say it to my second sister-in-law... In addition, if my sister-in-law in Ning'antang doesn't want to live, then go to the Baoru Courtyard next to her, it's too offside."
When You Shi heard this, she couldn't stop crying anymore. She looked at Jia Cong with her eyes swaying, and wanted to bow down.
Jia Cong hurriedly gave Ping'er a wink. Ping'er understood and quickly stepped forward to support her.
Baoru Courtyard is a courtyard where Jia Zhen’s favorite concubine lived alone. It was built in two places in front and back, which was more than a hundred times stronger than the current shabby place.
When Youshi saw Ping'er coming to help her, she knew that Jia Cong was trying to avoid suspicion and became more respectful in her heart.
After hesitating for a while, Fang asked again: "Sir, do you want to go and see Qin? She is afraid... it's not good."
After hearing what she said, Jia Cong and Ping'er were shocked, no longer shirked their responsibilities, and followed Youshi to the West Warehouse.
...
A small room is not a waste of money, but it is definitely a world of difference compared to where you once lived.
Qin's maid Baozhu was entering through the back door with a portion of medicine, and her face looked a little sad.
Seeing Youshi leading Jia Cong and Ping'er arrived, although he was blessed and bowed, he could not see any joy or anger...
Youshi and others entered, and as soon as they entered the door, they smelled a strong smell of medicine.
Baozhu first bypassed the screen and entered Tongbing. Soon after, a weak and painful cough came...
After a little while, another maid Ruizhu came over and invited You Shi, Jia Cong and his group to come in.
Qin leaned against a brocade, and she could no longer struggle.
I saw her wearing a thin shawl jacket with a pale face and no trace of blood was seen between her lips...
But he still did not lose his politeness and apologized to Youshi and Jia Cong: "You can't get up to greet him. Please blame your wife and Uncle San... ahem..."
People are different after all.
To be continued...
