Chapter 256: Goodbye Keqing
It was already time to hold the lamp, Jia Cong hurriedly entered the wing room, and asked Qingwen to take a linen filial piety dress that was not trimmed, Qingwen's face was strange: "What kind of filial piety clothes do you wear?" Or is it decay? ”
Could it be that the eldest lord or the eldest lady is dead?
"A teacher for one day, a father for life, a teacher, don't be verbose, hurry up and find it." Although Jia Cong expected that Qin Ye was already a dying person, and the limit was not far away, he didn't expect to die so coincidentally, and he was a little emotional and sad for a while.
Qingwen rummaged through the cabinets to find it, Xiangling and Xiaohong also came to help, Jia Cong went out to the study to receive Qin Zhong, and the bandit hall was in the inner courtyard, which was the inner study, and he felt that it was very inconvenient to entertain guests here, after all, the inner family was in the courtyard, and it would be good for Jia Zheng to set up an outer study.
At this time, the matter was urgent, and he couldn't think about it much, Jia Cong said: "Senior Brother Qin, I'll go with you." ”
"When the lantern is held, there is a curfew, I'm afraid you will be unlucky......" Qin Zhong is already sixteen years old, and he has matured a lot, and there are still tears on his white face.
"I don't shy away from what ward Lingfang is a real estate room, six years of science field, there are many teachers, but I can really get learning, only Mr. Qin is alone, but unfortunately I am in official affairs, and I can't keep filial piety for three years like you......"
Qin Zhong burst into tears, choked up and couldn't speak, Jia Cong wanted to ask him if he was looking for a temple to stop the spirit, or to help the coffin to return to his hometown, looking at him like this, it was not easy to ask, at this time Yingchun brought two satin horses in, originally to see his younger brother, he was going to leave home tomorrow, he heard a strange male voice outside the study, so he didn't go in, just when they came out, Qin Zhong looked at this young lady and was stunned for a long time, Yingchun was born with a soft and gentle, cheeks condensed with new li, and the nose was greasy goose fat, this kind of temperament and beauty is really a good person for marriage proposal. But when she saw the man with the foreign surname, she first glanced at it from a distance, this Qin Zhong's handsomeness was still better than Baoyu, and she couldn't help but take a look at it more, and then hurriedly turned around and entered the hall.
Jia Cong pretended not to see it, and when she was dressed in filial piety clothes, Baochai also knew that she was cutting branches and leaves and arranging flowers, and only said that she would go early and return early, and the two rode out on horseback.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, and it's too late for you to send your obituary, and you'll only have a few colleagues to pay tribute, so I'll kowtow tonight...... Can you get busy with the funeral? ”
"There are sisters and Steward Qin here, one inside the main and one outside the main, which is generally okay. I thought about Fuling going south and returning to the roots, after all, during the three-year filial piety period, the imperial examination would not be missed......"
After coming out for a while, Qin Zhong's face looked better, and Jia Cong was helpless about it, although the nominal three-year filial piety period only took twenty-seven months, but it was certain to delay Qin Zhong's scientific expedition, and he couldn't resist, so he could only compromise, he asked, "Senior Sister Qin is not engaged?" ”
"No, the matchmaker has been here a few times, but it doesn't suit her wishes, maybe she has no intention of remarrying, so she didn't make a ......"
Jia Cong was silent all the way, arrived at the Qin Mansion, hung a white paper lamp all the way from the door to the main bed, Mingjing banners and other things have not been purchased, and only Qin Tong, Ruizhu, and Baozhu are busy at home, and when they enter the hall, Qin Zhong said embarrassedly: "Senior brother, my two distant aunts are in the living room, my father came over when he was seriously ill a few days ago, and my sister is still crying, you go over first......"
Looking up slightly, the night in the capital is vast, and the late moon on the side of Chaoyang Gate can be seen vaguely, like a hook, flat on the treetops, Jia Cong remembers that the last time he experienced a funeral was Lin Ruhai in Yangzhou.
Inside the main bed, only an incense case was set up, and the coffin was surrounded by a white cloth, all saying that women should be pretty, and they were all filial, Qin Keqing was kneeling in front of the case to burn paper, dressed in plain white and silverware, and her waist was also circled with a white belt, just looking at the back was a beauty.
Yu Guang saw someone on the right side come in to offer incense, at first I thought it was Qin Zhong, I didn't pay much attention, and then I saw that the person knelt down and kowtowed three times, and when he raised his face, Qin Keqing's hand suddenly stopped on the side of the basin, and he was stunned for a long moment: "It's the junior brother who is here." ”
The tone was a little indifferent and cold, different from her usual approachable attitude, Jia Cong also thought that it was just her sadness about the death of her adoptive father: "Senior sister mourns, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, in the past, Zhuangzi lost his wife, and he also played the piano and played the piano and had great fun, Teacher Qin is detached to the Western Heavens Bliss, his daughter is peaceful, and his heir is an official, he will be able to sleep in the ground." ”
Qin Keqing lowered his head and continued to burn the paper, without speaking, outside the door, Ruizhu came to invite him out for tea, this girl was also hateful, as if Jia Cong had a grudge against him, Jia Cong said as he walked: "Ruizhu, I didn't offend you, right?" ”
"Oh, don't say this, who dares to offend the famous governor of the three provinces? After the old man finished drinking tea, let's go quickly, after all, it is bad luck here, maybe your wife is in a hurry. Baozhu handed over the tea and drove people away, but Ruizhu didn't speak, and made a look, Qin Keqing came out of the main bed to the ear room, and the two girls retreated.
Jia Cong meowed in the living room, he remembered that in the original book, two distant aunts of the Qin family came to receive the family property, that was because all three members of the Qin family died, Qin Zhong was still there at this time, Qin Keqing was also a smart person, and he was the champion apprentice, so there should be no problems.
He couldn't hear the girl driving people, so he cheekily entered the ear room, sat down, Qin Keqing didn't serve tea, Jia Cong thought carefully for a long time, and said, "That...... Senior sister is angry with me? ”
"Don't dare." Qin Keqing was concise and bit his lip: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Jia Cong said frankly: "I also thought about ...... with my senior sister at the beginning Or to stay with you, only later did I think it was impossible, and I don't know ......"
"Don't say it......" Qin Keqing stretched out his finger to block it, tears welling up: "How can I blame you, I don't blame you, this is my life, I originally thought, we will be okay like this, be distant from each other, and not affect you or me, but you just want to say it...... The junior brother is someone who has read the books of the sages......"
Jia Cong's heart ached slightly, but he regained his composure: "Yes, the biggest thing in the world is not the emperor, but Confucius......"
"Let's not talk about that, when I go back to the south, I will go to see you......" Before Jia Cong finished speaking, he felt the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, Qin Keqing's age was younger than Wang Xifeng, if it was still light and mature in those years, but now it is mature, even if he does not apply powder when he wears filial piety clothes, it is also fragrant, and Na's waist is even more intoxicating.
The moon shadow moved slightly, and the two didn't know when they kissed, Jia Cong ripped off Qin Keqing's filial piety clothes on his right shoulder, revealing a snow-white fragrant shoulder and a looming bandeau, and it took a long time for Qin Keqing to push him away, and he arranged his hair in a panic, "Senior brother, not now...... The itinerary is urgent, you go back quickly. ”
Jia Cong licked his mouth knowingly, and understood that nothing could happen tonight, and said a few words before saying goodbye, Qin Keqing was relieved, not to mention how happy he was in his heart, Jia Cong rushed back to Xicheng, and it was a little late.
When he arrived at the back door of the garden, the boiling blood provoked by Qin Keqing was not long after it subsided, and it rose up again, Jia Cong simply entered the back door of Daguan Garden, he knew that Wuyuan was next to the back door, and Zhang's mother, who was guarding the door, didn't want to open the door, but when she heard that it was Jia Cong, she had to open it, and after crossing the Zhulan folded Banqiao, Ying'er opened the door and entered the bedroom of Wuyuan, Xue Baochai lazily lit the lamp, and complained: "Why did you come over?" ”
