Qin Keqing's first impression of Jia Baoyu was very bad, thinking that he was a drunkard. So when he looked at Jia Baoyu, his face turned cold. Even Jia Ke didn't speak next to him, just sneered.

Jia Mu saw the embarrassment, and she was afraid that Jia Ke would turn her face and reprimand Jia Baoyu on the spot. Jia's mother has kept Jia Baoyu by her side for so many years, and she has almost forgotten Jia Baoyu's dislike for him when she was born, and now she regards Jia Baoyu as her heart.

Now seeing that Jia Baoyu was about to annoy Jia Ke, he hurriedly relieved him, "Your lord, Mrs. must have been in a hurry, don't waste time here with my wife and me, hurry up and give them tea, and then I have to go to the ancestral hall, it will not be good to delay the auspicious time." ”

Jia Ke had long been dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu, and when he heard Jia's mother's words, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Qin Keqing, gave Jia's mother a salute together, and then retired.

And Jia Baoyu stood there, still looking at Qin Keqing's back stupidly, until Qin Keqing had disappeared, then regretfully left his eyes, and once again came to Jia's mother to coquettish her.

And Jia Mu didn't hold him in her arms this time like before, and she screamed like a baby. Instead, he said to him seriously: "Baoyu, you are not too young, you should already know about personnel, if you let your master know about that faux pas just now, it is inevitable to beat you this time." ”

Jia Baoyu was a little worried, he stared at Jia's mother and lay in his arms, begging for mercy.

Mother Jia originally wanted to scare and scare him, and she didn't mean to do anything to him, but now she only saw that Jia Baoyu knew that she was wrong, so she brought a new smile on her face, and then warned Jia Baoyu, "You can't do this in the future, otherwise your eldest brother's temper won't kill you." ”

Jia Baoyu was relieved to see that Jia's mother was no longer angry, and then assured Jia's mother with a sincere face that there would never be such a rude act in the future, but she didn't think so, Jia Ke was just a layman, how could she be worthy of such a fairy-like woman.

Besides, when Jia Ke and Qin Keqing walked out of Jia's mother's compound, Qin Keqing immediately said to Jia Ke unhappily: "I think this Baoyu brother of yours is not a good person. If you don't learn well at a young age, you will definitely be a person who will spin around in the pile of fat powder in the future. ”

Jia Ke agreed with her words very much, and said to her: "You still really have vision, my Baoyu brother has been different from others since he was a child. When I was one year old, I grabbed a rouge box. I heard that my father was angry at that time, and said that he must be a drunkard when he grows up. ”

Qin Keqing opened his mouth and asked incredulously: "This is true, impossible, right?" Don't big families never put these things in their lots? ”

"The things in this mansion are more complicated than you think, and you will know in a while, but you don't have to worry, let's live our own lives in the next mansion, and they will make trouble." Jia Ke said nonchalantly.

Qin Keqing frowned and asked, "This alone can't explain anything, does he have something else." ”

"My Baoyu has liked beautiful little maids since she was a child, and she never let her mother-in-law touch her hands, which is not a miracle." Jia Ke also told Qin Keqing what he had heard.

Qin Keqing was stunned at this time, he didn't expect such a thing to happen when Jia Baoyu was young, it seems that he will stay away from him in the future.

The two walked while talking, and after a while, they came to Rongxi Hall, and walked east from the side door. Then they came to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

When Jia Ke and Qin Keqing entered Mrs. Wang's courtyard, they were seen by the little maid waiting at the door, and after the little maid saw them, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, and said like a cheerful nightingale: "The lord and the wife have been waiting inside for a while. The wife was angry, and the old man said that he must have gone to the old lady first to persuade the wife. Go in quickly, be careful. ”

When Jia Ke heard the little maid's words, he was a little grateful in his heart, knowing that in Mrs. Wang's courtyard, no one had good intentions towards Jia Ke. It was the first one he had encountered.

So Jia Ke took out a handful of golden melon seeds from his arms, about a dozen of them, and gave them to this little girl casually. These golden melon seeds were prepared by him early in the morning, that is, they were prepared to reward people these days.

This little girl is holding this small handful of golden melon seeds, and the boss with her mouth open, it turns out that she is just a kind person who is afraid of the new grandmother, and she was troubled by her wife on the first day, so she casually talked about the scene just now. I didn't expect the uncle to reward her so much at once.

When Qin Keqing heard the little maid's words, she was a little scared in her heart, and her brows furrowed, after all, she was going to meet the serious lady, if Mrs. Wang gave her an ugly look, she had no choice but to endure it.

Jia Ke saw her worries, so she enlightened her: "Don't worry, although she is our mother-in-law, she is not my biological mother after all." And I'm counting it now, if she throws you a face, it's a big deal, let's come less in the future. ”

Qin Keqing thought about it, their Wuyang Marquis Mansion was still some distance away from here. If Mrs. Wang doesn't like her, she will come less in the future. After all, Jia Ke was not born to Mrs. Wang, although there is such a thing as filial piety, but it is also a little different from a real child.

Qin Keqing relaxed a little, followed Jia Ke into Mrs. Wang's courtyard, and came all the way to the innermost three small main rooms, when Caixia, who was standing at the door, saw them coming. Quickly open the curtains and invite them in.

Jia Ke took Qin Keqing into the main room, and there was heating inside, and there was a faint smell of sandalwood. And Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were sitting on a low couch by the window eating tea.

Jia Ke and Qin Keqing hurriedly went up to salute Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng didn't say anything, but Mrs. Wang said with a gloomy face: "What's the matter?" The first day of the salute was too late. ”

Jia Ke immediately explained: "My son came from the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion and passed by the old lady first. I thought that the old lady was the most noble in the house, and she couldn't pass through the door without entering. So I went to see the old lady first, so it was a little late. I also ask my mother's forgiveness. ”

Mrs. Wang listened to Jia Ke's explanation, and it was not easy to say anything, after all, our ancient filial piety is greater than the sky, Jia Ke and others must maintain filial piety to her, and she must also be filial to Jia's mother, at this time, she can't say that she must see her first before she can go to see the old lady again.

Jia Zheng saw Jia Ke next to him, and sure enough, he went to see the old lady first. He is very satisfied with this, Jia Zheng may have such and such problems, but in terms of filial piety, people can't find a problem, and he still agrees very much with Jia Ke that he went to meet the old lady first. After all, the young and the old are orderly, Jia Ke went to meet Jia's mother first, and then came to meet his father, and there was no problem with etiquette at all.

So Jia Zheng put the teacup in his hand on the kang table next to him, and said to Mrs. Wang: "Since they met the old lady first, it is also due etiquette, now let's start the tea, this is over, I will take them to the ancestral hall." ”

When Mrs. Wang heard Jia Zheng say this, she could only mumble two sentences in her mouth. Then he sat upright, and the little girl next to him immediately brought two hot teas to Jia Ke and Qin Keqing.

Jia Ke and Qin Keqing took the hot tea and knelt on the ground, respectfully sending the tea to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

After Jia Ke and Mrs. Wang took the tea, they took a sip in their mouths and put it on the kang table next to them. Then Mrs. Wang took out two red envelopes from her arms and gave them to Jia Ke and Qin Keqing respectively.

Jia Ke and Qin Keqing took the red envelope and thanked their parents again.

Jia Zheng saw that everything was going well, and Mrs. Wang didn't give them any problems, so he was relieved. Then Jia Zheng let them get up.

Mrs. Wang also asked the little girls to sit next to them at this time, and after Jia Ke and Qin Keqing sat down, the little maids brought tea again. At this point, all the etiquette is over. Now there is only one last step left, that is, Jia Ke took Qin Keqing to the ancestral hall of Ning Guofu and wrote her name on the family tree in front of her ancestors.

After Jia Ke and Qin Keqing drank tea, Jia Zheng saw that there was nothing to do. Then he said to the two of them, "The hour is not early, let's go to the ancestral hall now, and finish these things as soon as possible, and everyone will be relieved." ”

So Jia Ke and Qin Keqing hurriedly got up, Jia Zheng took them to the second gate, someone had already prepared a soft sedan chair for Qin Keqing, and it was four sturdy women who carried the sedan chair. Qin Keqing got on the sedan chair here, Jia Ke and Jia Zheng got on the horse, and then walked out of the side door of Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as they left the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Ke's personal soldiers guarded them firmly in the middle, and they walked about a stone's throw before they came to the Ningguo Mansion.

And Jia Zhen, Jia Rong has been waiting here for a long time, the father and son are now mixing quite well in the capital, and the nobles in the capital no longer treat them as broken houses, all of which depends on Jia Ke's current status in the capital. Therefore, the father and son greeted them at the door early and wanted to tie up Jia Ke.

Now that I see Jia Zheng, Jia Ke and they are here, so they hurry up to greet them.

"Nephew Jia Zhen, I've seen my uncle." After finishing speaking, he gave Jia Zheng a deep salute.

As soon as Jia Zheng saw Jia Zhen, he went straight to the point and asked, "Are all the ancestral halls ready?" ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I ordered someone to clean the ancestral hall early, and I was waiting for the two newcomers to come." Jia Zhen hurriedly replied to Jia Zheng's words.

Jia Zheng was satisfied, although Jia Zhen is now the patriarch of the Jia family, in fact, many things in the clan are decided by Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen naturally does not dare to neglect what Jia Zheng orders.

Jia Zhen saw Jia Ke standing next to Jia Zheng, and hurriedly went over to give a salute, "Brother, you have just returned to Beijing for a short time, and you will be free after a while, I will invite you to dinner, and you can also taste the flavor of our Beijing." ”

"Brother Zhen is polite, we are all a family, and we will have more contacts in the future." Jia Ke also had a few polite words with him.

Jia Zheng saw that everyone chatted a few words, and he could be regarded as courtesy, "Let's talk about what we have to do when we go into the house, what is it like to talk at the door?" ”

Everyone didn't dare to disobey Jia Zheng's words, so they entered the side gate of Ning Guofu together and came to the second gate. In front of the second gate, Jia Zhen's step-room, You Shi, was already waiting there.
