Chapter 136: The Maid's Choice

The room is quiet, and there is some bleakness of the Qingming Festival. The pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info the mountains and the rain are miserable. Silence. Qin Keqing and Jia Rong sat at the round table. The distance is a bit far.

During the Lantern Festival last time, Qin Keqing quarreled with Jia Rong, who came to see her, but after all, they have been husband and wife for many years, and she will still come out to see Jia Rong. Although he was angry in his heart, he still spoke calmly and softly, "Brother Rong, what are you telling me about this?" ”

Listening to the meaning of the words, she was still angry. Jia Rong felt a little gloomy in her heart, the culprit of all this was his father, if it wasn't for his father persecuting him...

Jia Rong suppressed the resentment in her heart, and said sincerely across the round table: "Keqing, don't you want to practice in the Taoist temple to ask for a child?" I'm here to accompany you. I... I couldn't pick you up during the Lantern Festival, and I beat my father severely. You see..."

Jia Rong rolled up her sleeves to show Qin Keqing, and there were a few bruises on her arms.

When Jia Rong was about to lift her clothes again, Qin Keqing couldn't bear to look away and said, "No need." Brother Rong, I know. She knew the temper of the old man in the house. Hitting a son is like beating a cat or a dog.

Jia Rong sighed and said, "I won't be back to the house now." It's better than beating him to death. Hide and be clean. I will live in the village at the foot of the mountain to accompany you. Wait a few days, I will arrange the place you like to live, and I will take you down the mountain for a few days. ”

Qin Keqing's eyes were a little red, and then two tears fell from her pretty face.

She hid in the Taoist temple to avoid the beast. And not to hide from the husband. Since she married into Jiafu after marriage, she has been in harmony with her husband. It's just that Brother Rong was so scared that he wanted to send her back home that day, which made this relationship a little cracked. However, she is a woman, helpless. As long as her husband can repent, what else can she do?

Jia Rong begged Qin Keqing softly again, and said some love words between husband and wife in the past.

Qin Keqing was a little shy, and gently and softly promised Jia Rong to let the personal maid Baozhu go to the Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain to take a look and help decorate the room. When it was ready, she went down the mountain to stay with her husband for a few days.

Out of the wing, Qin Keqing returned to his residence, and the maid Baozhu hurriedly greeted him, and said worriedly: "Grandma, are you okay?" ”

"No, it's fine." Qin Keqing explained the situation to Baozhu and advised: "You pay attention, if someone from the master's side appears..." Worried about the people who have him by her husband's side.

Baozhu's eyes were red and she nodded vigorously, "I know." "Her good sister Ruizhu was killed by the master.

Qin Keqing pulled the jewel and told her to send her out again. sighed softly. It would be good if he could live happily with Brother Rong in Zhuangzi for a few years. It's just that she is worried that if she often goes out to the Taoist temple, Princess Qixia will have opinions about her.

Jia Rong and Baozhu were converging, leaving Qixia Temple, and taking her down the mountain in a carriage.

The carriage swayed slightly. Looking at the light rain in the mountains, Jia Rong felt relaxed and relieved in her heart, and finally she didn't have to be beaten. But then a deep sense of guilt swelled up. But what can he do?

In the tenth year of Yongzhi, March 25, it was already the twilight of spring. In the Miaofeng Mountain, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the falling flowers are colorful.

The peach blossoms in the Tanzhe Temple of Jinyun Peak are in full bloom. The trees are full of delicate red, and the spring is full of splendor. Jia Huan has been living in the temple for many days.

At this time, the newly built brick kiln in Dongzhuang Town has burned several batches of qualified red bricks, and the construction progress of the town's houses has accelerated rapidly.

On this morning, several carriages slowly drove into the bustling town of Dongzhuang and stopped in front of the scholar's restaurant. Jia Lian, Feng Ziying, Lai Sheng, the chief butler of the Eastern Mansion, and Steward Liu of the Xue family came out of the carriage respectively.

Standing at the door of the Scholar Restaurant, Jia Lian sent his henchman Zhao'er to invite Jia Huan, and said with a smile: "The taste of this restaurant is not quite to my liking. However, there is only one restaurant in town. ”

Feng Ziying smiled, "This is probably the monopoly operation that Brother Huan said." ”

The two laughed, humbly conceded a few words to Lai Sheng, took the first step to the restaurant, asked for a private room by the window, sat down, and chatted while waiting. Several of them now have business in Dongzhuang Town. Jia Lian opened a honeycomb coal shop, Feng Ziying is an iron shop, Jia Zhen is in the grain business, and the Xue family is in the cloth business.

The town's red-brick and blue-tiled houses stretch out in rows. Densely populated. The streets are bustling. Smoke was coming from the kiln factory in the distance.

Looking at this scene, Feng Ziying sighed: "Second Brother Lian, this town is exactly the same every day!" How long has it been since I've been here? but it was prosperous by three points. ”

Jia Lian knocked on the folding fan and said with a smile: "So Brother Huan'er is a good means." Did you see the brick factory? In my opinion, business is booming. "He has to supply coal to the brick factory every month, and a little attention will tell the good or bad business of the brick factory.

Lai Sheng, the head of Ningguo Mansion, moved slightly in his heart.

The four of them chatted for half an hour, and Zhao'er came in panting, and replied, "Master, I've asked in both places." Miss Qingwen said that the third master went to the mountains to study in the middle of the month. Expect to return in late summer. ”

Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this, this is really reading? How can you hear that you are more sinful than being a monk? That's not how it is sung in the play! What do you say about red sleeves. He didn't have so much trouble reading Jia Zhu in the house back then.

Feng Ziying said in astonishment: "Brother Huan has made such a big determination! In the future, I will definitely go to high school. ”

Lai Sheng and Steward Liu both smiled and complimented.

Jia Lian asked Jia Huan about the rouge shop. Feng Ziying is following to contact the feelings. Lai Sheng and Steward Liu came to Jia Huan to make money through the back door. Jia Huan didn't come, and the four of them didn't have the heart to eat, so they used some food in the restaurant and left Dongzhuang Town regretfully.

Lai Sheng did not return to the capital with Jia Lian and others, walked more than ten miles of official roads, and turned to the foot of Xiangshan.

The land at the foot of Xiangshan is fertile, and a large area of fertile land belongs to the imperial relatives. Ningguofu's Zhuangzi at the foot of Xiangshan is located in Tongjia Village, Woniu Town.

After Lai's carriage entered the village, he went straight to a tiled house courtyard in the center of the village. In the small hall, I saw the master Jia Zhen. The small hall was elegantly decorated, Jia Zhenshi's blue robe, and he was drinking wine at the table with great interest.

Lai Sheng saluted and said, "Uncle, we went to the academy and didn't see Brother Huan'er. He went to study in the mountains. ”

Jia Zhen said dissatisfiedly: "I haven't seen it, I'll go another day." Just bothering me about this idea? I finally hid for a few days to clean up, and I wanted to enjoy some blessings. ”

Lai Sheng was an old man in Ning Guofu, and he had a lot of face in front of Jia Zhen, so he was not afraid that he would be angry, and said with a smile: "Uncle, how dare a slave disturb such a matter." I really found a more profitable business in Dongzhuang Town. ”

"Oh?" Jia Zhen immediately became interested and smacked her lips, "Let's talk about it." ”

Lai Sheng added fuel to the situation of the brick kiln in Dongzhuang Town, and he never went to see it on the spot, and said: "Second Master Lian said that the brick kiln business is booming. It seems to me that many houses are still under construction in the town, and there is a great demand for masonry. It's a good business. ”

Jia Zhen twisted her beard under her chin and nodded, "Okay, I see." I poured myself a pot of black silver plum blossoms in my house for you. Don't make a noise about this, I will discuss it with Brother Lian. Last time, Jia Lian brought back a message, saying that Jia Huan made amends to him for giving him a shop worth 30 taels of silver. Quite acquainted. This time, he fell in love with the brick kiln, and he didn't dare to refuse his request.

Lai Sheng smiled and retired.

Jia Zhen was happy in her heart, got up and walked back and forth in the small hall. Looking at the fragrant mountains not far away. It's time for Brother Rong to bring his daughter-in-law back!

Today is a double blessing. To get a beauty, you have to have a money-making business. Congratulations!

Rewind time a little. After having lunch with her father Jia Zhen, Jia Rong took his wife Qin Keqing's personal maid Baozhu to Xiangshan Qixia Temple.

Along the way, Jia Rong told the maid Baozhu who was bowing her head and crying next to her in the carriage, "Don't just cry. You're my father's man. It's done, and I'm going to call you aunt. ”

Baozhu lowered his head and said, "Master, I know. I told my grandfather last night that I would definitely persuade my grandmother to go down the mountain. "She went down the mountain yesterday to watch the limelight for her grandmother, but when she went to bed at night, she blocked the house for her grandfather. She resisted, but to no avail, she could only give in, and almost just....

Jia Rong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, a little guilt welled up, and it was immediately replaced by fear, he just wanted this matter to end quickly, "That's right." Don't cry. As he spoke, he gently pinched Baozhu's face. Suddenly, I wanted to vent some irritable emotions in my heart. Baozhu is Keqing's maid, and he hasn't succeeded yet, but he has given his father the first prize.

Baozhu dodged, and obediently let Jia Rong move his hands and feet.

The carriage arrived at the Qixia Temple halfway up the Xiangshan Mountain. It's early afternoon and the mountain scenery is beautiful. After the ceremony, Jia Rong waited in the guest room. The maid treasure bead entered the Taoist temple and informed Qin Keqing.

The room where Qin Keqing lived was in a wing room in a courtyard. She packed her clothes and sat on a chair, waiting expectantly for her husband Jia Rong to pick her up from the mountain and go to stay in Zhuangzi for a few days.

At this time, I suddenly saw her maid Baozhu come in with tears streaming down her face, and she knelt on the ground, "Grandma..."

Qin Keqing hurriedly went to help the treasure bead and asked worriedly, "Treasure bead, what's wrong?" Crying like this. ”

Baozhu knelt on the ground and cried: "Grandma, the master is waiting in Tongjia Village, you can't go." Master, he can't believe it. She just pretended to give in last night. Grandma treated her like a mountain, and she would never betray her. Her death is a trivial matter, but she has to inform her grandmother of the news. At this time, when the news was brought in, she couldn't hold it anymore. Emotional breakdowns.

Qin Keqing only felt that the sky was spinning, and it hit her head like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, making her legs weak and sitting on the ground.

She trusts her husband Jia Rong very much. And the truth turned out to be so cruel. It was a cage for her to go down the mountain and live in a small house. Send her sheep into the tiger's mouth. Two lines of tears rolled down Qin Keqing's face, his heart was like ashes, and a huge sense of powerlessness struck.

Baozhu cried and said, "The master arrived last night. I, I'll give him a strong ..., if I hadn't seen the opportunity and said I could have persuaded my grandmother to go down the mountain. also died like Ruizhu. I'm sorry grandma, I said a lot of bad things about grandma last night. ”

Qin Keqing said with tears in her eyes: "Good boy, I don't blame you!" "He Baozhu hugged his head and cried, sad and terrified.

If it weren't for the orb news..., that fowl-beast!

Crying for a long, long time. Baozhu's mood recovered first, comforted the master, and said, "Grandma, you must not go out." Hurriedly sent someone to report to the third master of Huan for help. ”

Qin Keqing nodded tearfully, "Hmm." "I feel a little ashamed.

Some time ago, her brother Qin Zhong came to her to cry, because of Uncle Huan, he kicked out of the private school in Jiafu and went home to give his father a good beating. Didn't get up for a few days. He came to complain that she was talking nonsense that Uncle Huan was a good person.

She also had some thoughts in her heart. Uncle Huan and Uncle Bao are fighting, why should her brother be involved?

However, at this time, the only person she could ask for help could only be the teenager who kindly reminded her in Zhu's sister-in-law's house the winter before last, and the only teenager who advised her to flee from Ningguo Mansion during the Dragon Boat Festival last year.

Uncle Huan, save me. (To be continued.) )
