As the Zuodu Imperial Shi Tianye arrived in the capital with a letter of seal, the dark clouds that hung over the emperor and the military aircraft began to disperse.

Except for Jia Ke, the people in the Military Aircraft Department thought that this trouble was over, but they didn't know that this was just the beginning. The next trouble is serious.

After the capital calmed down, the attention of all parties shifted from the Lianghuai area to eating, drinking, and having fun.

Especially King Zhongshun, during this time, he began to invite people to banquets frequently, and brought out the most proud actor in his house, Qiguan, to attend the banquet, and even sometimes let him sing a song in the banquet.

It didn't take long for this Qi official to become the number one celebrity in the capital with his exquisite appearance and charming and gentle posture.

And this time, King Zhongshun seems to be very generous, and he did not interfere too much with the freedom of the Qi official.

And Qi Guan'er is also between the princes and princes, and the life is both comfortable and happy.

Jia Baoyu, Xue Pan and others naturally quickly got on the line with Qi Guan. It didn't take long for Jia Baoyu and Qi Guan to be inseparable, like glue.

After Xue Pan knew about this, he was extremely dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu. Originally, Qi Guan introduced Jia Baoyu to him, but he didn't expect to let Jia Baoyu get started first.

Originally, Xue Pan wanted to find an opportunity to give Jia Baoyu something ugly, but thinking of the power of Rongguo Mansion, he pressed this matter down again.

Now the reason why the Xue family can get along in the capital is still to rely on the Rongguo Mansion and the Wuyang Hou Mansion, if he falls out with Jia Baoyu, his uncle Prince Teng is far away at the border, and no one is in charge of him in the capital, and in the end, the Xue family may have no place in the capital.

Although Xue Pan swallowed the qi in his stomach temporarily, he was not happy after all, so he drank a lot of stuffy wine on this day, and returned home to make a lot of noise, making Lixiangyuan uneasy.

Aunt Xue really had no choice alone, so she hurriedly ordered someone to go to the Grand View Garden to invite Xue Baochai back.

Although Xue Baochai is Xue Pan's sister, because she has some scheming in her heart, Xue Pan sometimes listens to this sister's words very much, and even says that there is a trace of fear. So every time Xue Pan was drunk, Aunt Xue would invite Xue Baochai to come and subdue Xue Pan.

This time was no exception, when Xue Baochai came to Lixiang Courtyard, Xue Pan was in the courtyard, shouting five and six, seeing who hit whom, he was completely like a demon king.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai hurriedly stepped forward and ordered a few servants to hold Xue Pan down.

"Why don't you send your uncle back to the house."

After Xue Baochai finished ordering, he ordered the kitchen to prepare a decanting soup. After ignoring it, he ordered someone to pour Xue Pan down, and after two bowls of sobering soup were poured, Xue Pan was honest, and fell asleep in the house after muttering two sentences.

After Xue Baochai settled Xue Pan, he came to Aunt Xue's house.

When I entered the house, I saw Aunt Xue crying on the kang.

"Mom, what's going on?"

Aunt Xue saw Xue Baochai and quickly wiped her tears, and said with a smile on her face: "Have you appeased your brother?" ”

"Mom, don't worry, my brother has already fallen asleep, and when I wake up tomorrow morning, I will definitely come to my mother to apologize."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she was relieved, pulled Xue Baochai onto the kang, held her hand and said, "It's still Baochai, fortunately there are you in this family, otherwise I don't know what it will be like in the future." ”

After Xue Baochai listened, his face flushed slightly, and then said: "Mom, don't say it, I'll be ashamed to death if I say it again." ”

Aunt Xue looked at Baochai like this, and she was also a little sour in her heart, she originally wanted to let Baochai and Baoyu get married, but she didn't think that a Lin Daiyu would run out halfway, but now Baochai can't go up or down, and the marriage has been delayed, I don't know what the future will look like.

Xue Baochai is a smart woman in Bingxue, and when she saw her mother's appearance, she understood the reason, and then quickly comforted: "Mother doesn't have to worry, this must not be a good thing." Besides, Baoyu's appearance is not a good match, and there may be good ones waiting for me in the future. ”

Aunt Xue knew that this was Xue Baochai's words to comfort herself, but what could she do? could only force a smile and continue to chat with Xue Baochai.

In fact, Aunt Xue didn't know, Xue Baochai already had an idea in her heart now, but it was just not easy to say it directly.

When Jia Ke returned to the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion on this day, he actually saw Qin Zhong at the noon table.

You must know that Qin Zhong has become a conjoined person with Jia Baoyu since he came to the Wuyang Hou Mansion. The two of them are almost sitting, lying, eating, and dressing together.

Jia Ke also said some time ago that he would invite a famous gentleman to Qin Zhong. But Qin Zhong thought it would be faster to study with everyone, and politely refused.

It can be seen how close the two of them are, and as a result, in the past two days, Qin Zhong has often been seen coming back for dinner, which is uncommon.

When Qin Zhong saw Jia Ke coming in, he quickly stood up and squirmed Shi Li and said, "Brother-in-law, you're back." ”

"I'm back, how can you have time to go home for dinner, won't Baoyu play with you." Jia Ke said jokingly.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Jia Ke finished saying this, Qin Zhong's eyes were red and tears fell.

At this time, Qin Keqing, who came in from outside, saw this scene and said to Jia Ke coquettishly: "It's all you, I made him cry again, so I persuaded him." ”

When Jia Ke saw this situation, he didn't know that Qin Zhong and Jia Baoyu might have had a conflict, so he asked, "Tell my brother-in-law what's going on?" If Baoyu dares to bully you, see if I don't clean him up. ”

But Qin Zhong did not complain to Jia Ke as he imagined, but suddenly threw himself on the soft couch next to him and cried bitterly.

This time it really confused Jia Ke, what the hell is going on? So he looked at Qin Keqing next to him.

Qin Keqing said helplessly: "I heard that Baoyu has now met a new friend, and he has snubbed us Qin Zhong a little." ”

When Jia Ke heard this, he felt a pang in his heart, what is going on? Baoyu met a new friend, and he just made trouble at home, as for it?

"Qin Zhong, let me tell you, don't be so petty, who doesn't know a few new friends. Since Baoyu has met a new friend, you can be considered your friend if you go with him, and it would be good for everyone to get acquainted and play together. Jia Ke tried his best to speak and persuade Qin Zhong.

Qin Keqing also persuaded beside him: "Don't cry, let's eat first, and talk to your brother-in-law after dinner, he has a way to help you." ”

Qin Zhong turned his head pitifully and looked at Jia Ke and Qin Keqing, "Will my brother-in-law really help me?" ”

Qin Keqing only said like coaxing a child: "Of course, he doesn't help you help anyone, who made you his brother-in-law." ”

After hearing this, Qin Zhong returned to the dining table with a blushing face.

Jia Ke looked at him and felt more and more awkward, and turned back to Qin Keqing and said, "You can't get used to Qin Zhong anymore, what do you think he has become now?" If I met him on the street, I thought he was a girl. ”

Qin Keqing thought about it and looked at Qin Zhong again, and couldn't help but nodded. Jia Ke didn't say that she hadn't found out yet, but as soon as Jia Ke said this, she found out that Qin Zhong was indeed a bit of a woman.

After a while, all kinds of rare delicacies were placed on the table like flowing water.

Jia Ke and the others just started eating, and in the Wuyang Hou Mansion, Jia Ke never said anything about food. asked Qin Zhong directly at the dinner table, "Do you tell me what's going on?" Don't cry all the time, it's annoying to watch. ”

When Qin Zhong heard Jia Ke's bad tone, his eyes turned red again, and he secretly raised his eyes to look at Jia Ke, but Jia Ke stared at him and held back his tears.

Qin Keqing also saw their movements on the side, but she also wanted to hear what was going on with Qin Zhong. You must know that she brought Qin Zhong up when she was young, although the two are not sisters and brothers, but there is no difference between her and Qin Zhong and her sisters and brothers.

"Baoyu didn't come to play with me during this time, I heard others say that he often went out with Xue Pan to find someone to drink, and when I went to him today, he was drunk and had a ribbon tied around his waist that was not his. He must have someone else in his heart. Qin Zhong said aggrievedly there.

Jia Ke almost spit out the wine in his mouth when he heard this, and Qin Keqing was also dumbfounded when he heard it, although Qin Keqing was originally a young lady who didn't go out of the door.

But since marrying Jia Ke, as the hostess of the Marquis of Wuyang, Qin Keqing has often attended the banquets of the noble ladies and ladies in the capital, and has heard a lot about the set of peach and broken sleeves, intentionally or unintentionally. But no matter how she didn't expect it to happen to her brother.

Jia Ke said to Qin Keqing with anger on his face: "From now on, he is not allowed to go to Rongguo Mansion again, if I find out that he and Jia Baoyu are together, I will break the legs of the two of them." ”

Qin Keqing did not protect Qin Zhong this time, but nodded firmly.

Jia Ke thought about it, this alone may not be able to stop Qin Zhong, he should find something to do, so that he doesn't have time to think about anything else.

"I'll go to Mr. Meng Ming, the head of the Hanlin Academy, tomorrow and ask him to recommend a disciple to me, and I'll personally go and ask him to come back and be our Qin Zhong teacher. From now on, let him study hard at home, and he was not allowed to step out of the house. After Jia Ke finished saying this, the anger on his face also disappeared a lot, after all, this matter was not a scandal in ancient times, and it was even an elegant thing to say. This is the huge difference between modern and ancient concepts.

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Qin Keqing also had a smile on his face. Her father asked you to hand over Qin Zhong to her as well, just hoping that Qin Zhong could get ahead with her. Now that Jia Ke has arranged for Qin Zhong, in a few years, Qin Zhong may be able to come to an end. It can be regarded as her worthy of Qin Ye's nurturing grace to herself.

And after Qin Zhong heard Jia Ke's arrangement, he immediately burst into tears again. looked at Jia Ke with sad and angry eyes, which made Jia Ke feel that he was breaking up a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, and there was a trace of guilt in his heart.

Jia Ke quickly shook his head and threw this thought out of his mind. Then he didn't care about Qin Zhong, ate a few bites casually, and went out of the room to the study.

After Jia Ke left, Qin Zhong said to Qin Keqing aggrievedly: "Sister, you see that your brother-in-law is becoming more and more domineering. How can you lock me up at home, Baoyu will be sad if he can't see me in two days. ”

Qin Keqing couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted outside: "Ruizhu, you let me in." ”

Rui Zhu heard Qin Keqing's voice outside, and immediately ran in and asked, "Miss, what do you command?" ”

Qin Keqing said with an angry face: "You give me orders, from now on, Qin Zhong can't leave our Wuyang Marquis Mansion one step." ”

Ruizhu was a little puzzled, what's wrong? It was fine just now, why did you ground Uncle Qin now? But to Qin Keqing, he didn't dare to disobey him, and Lian Sheng promised: "Miss, don't worry, I'll give you an order." From now on, Uncle Qin must not be able to leave our house. ”

Qin Keqing nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly seemed to think of something again, and then instructed Rui Zhu: "If Baoyu comes to Qin Zhong in the future, you will tell Baoyu that Qin Zhong is not at home." ”

Although Ruizhu doesn't know the reason, it's not a good thing to see it like this. So I hurriedly agreed.
