Chapter 117: Something is not quite right
"The daughter-in-law Qin has seen Second Uncle Lian!"
Jia Lian looked at Qin Keqing's appearance in front of him, and finally understood why Qin Keqing was called the first beauty of the Red Mansion.
Of course, maybe Xue Baoqin can be with her for a long time, Jia Lian hasn't seen Xue Baoqin yet, so it's not good to comment.
But at least, among the other people Jia Lian had already seen in the Twelve Hairpins, there was no one who could compare with the Qin clan.
In terms of appearance alone, Daiyu, Baochai, and Xifeng may not be bad. But that kind of unique style that has its own wind and lingering is incomparable to them.
However, Jia Lian quickly controlled himself and smiled faintly: "Excuse me, Qin, you have been married to Rong'er for more than a year, and I haven't seen it." When I mentioned it to your father-in-law here today, I wanted to see you temporarily. Don't blame the abruptness. β
Qin Keqing pursed his lips and smiled, almost having the power to seduce the soul: "Uncle said that you laughed, you and your second aunt came back from Tianjin, and my daughter-in-law didn't go to see me in time."
I have long heard that my second aunt is the heroine of my Jia family, and my daughter-in-law has admired her for a long time. β
Jia Lian laughed: "Okay, your second aunt usually has nothing else to do over there except for the daily housekeeper and serving the old lady, and she usually always talks about you." β
After speaking, Jia Lian took out a very valuable jade pendant from his arms and handed it to the Qin family: "This time, I didn't prepare any meeting gifts at the beginning. Your second aunt also complained to me a few words, and specially prepared this jade pendant for you, don't dislike it, accept it. β
Seeing this thing that Jia Lian took out, even the well-informed Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing were a little moved. Jia Zhen was even more anxious, how could Jia Lian take out this thing and give it away?
The best mutton fat jade is not counted, this is clearly an ancient jade. And looking at the dragon pattern accessories on the jade pendant, this seems to be a big inner thing.
"Uncle, such a valuable gift, my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to accept it. Besides, this seems to be a gift from the Emperor. β
Jia Lian looked at it and said with a smile: "This thing is said to come from the imperial palace of the previous dynasty, and I got it from an antique shop two years ago when I visited Jinling. Mrs. Fengsheng personally appraised it, and it is said that it is an accessory of a county lord in the previous dynasty, and it is quite valuable. β
Hearing this, Jia Zhen was relieved, but the greed in her eyes became more and more vigorous.
Ning Guofu is not without imperial things, when Ning Guogong and Jia Daihua, Jia Jing period, Ning Guofu has obtained a lot of imperial gifts. Even Jia Zhen has a lot of rewards on the New Year's Festival. These all belong to Jia Zhen now.
But those are all imperial graces, and they should be collected or even offered when they are taken home. Especially now that Ning Guofu is only a third-class general's mansion, Jia Zhen doesn't dare to swagger around wearing imperial gifts.
Of course, Jia Zhen doesn't know that it is not him who has the most imperial things in Ning Guofu, but his daughter-in-law Qin Keqing.
It's just that Qin Keqing generally doesn't put out things that are out of control. After all, her identity is still a little sensitive, and many times, she can't be ostentatious if she can.
Qin Keqing naturally had a different feeling when he got this thing. She herself has a lot of such things, so although she was surprised by Jia Lian's generosity, she was not too surprised.
What moved her was that Jia Lian was the county lord's accessory as soon as he made a move, did he know something?
In the corner that everyone didn't pay attention to, a trace of viciousness flashed on Jia Rong's face.
"Alright, you husband and wife go down." Jia Zhen waved her hand and drove Jia Rong and Qin Keqing away. He felt that there was something wrong with Qin's gaze at Jia Lian, if he let them talk about it again, I was afraid that this charming beauty would let Jia Lian snatch it away before she could stick to it.
Leaving Ning'an Hall, Qin Keqing smiled at Jia Rong: "Uncle is going to sit with me." β
Jia Rong snorted coldly: "Grandma's place, I can't afford to stay." With that, he shook his hand and left.
Qin Keqing's face didn't even have a trace of fluctuation, and when he saw Jia Rong leaving, he smiled slightly and walked forward.
As soon as he arrived near Tianxiang Tower, a maid dressed in ordinary clothes seemed to be very ordinary and walked opposite Qin Keqing.
"Miss, what are your orders?"
"Go and check Jia Lian, I always feel that he seems to know something? Today he gave me a piece of Lingyun County Lord's jade pendant, and he also talked nonsense about the things of the previous dynasty. Abnormal. β
The maid's face changed, as if this Lingyun County Lord was some kind of amazing character. He nodded quickly.
"Miss, I want me to tell you that there is a lot of pressure on the DPRK and China now, and it seems that Longzheng already knows about your affairs. sent you to the Qin family back then, and then married into the Jia family, just to hide people's eyes.
I really didn't expect to be targeted by the dog emperor. You need to be prepared. β
A gloomy look flashed on Qin Keqing's face: "I know." With that, he waved his hand and left.
In Ning'an Hall, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were also happy. Jia Zhen was happy, and called You Shi and You Shi's two younger sisters who were guests in the mansion out to introduce Jia Lian.
Looking at Second Sister You, Third Sister You, these two sisters really live up to the glamorous name in the original book. However, it seems that they are not treated well in this Ning Guo Mansion, and Jia Zhen is completely calling them as singers.
After three rounds of drinking, Jia Lian decided to talk about business: "Brother Zhen, I heard that you have recently acquired a lot of good land, and Di Qing has done it for you." β
Jia Zhen was already slightly drunk: "Yes, in Tongzhou, near Huailai." There are about one or two thousand acres, and I'm going to get something to grow one. β
"Brother Jane, there is no need to talk about these scenes. I think you'd better think about how you got here. There are tens of thousands of acres of fiefdom in Ningguo, do you really lack these thousands of acres of land? I heard that the matter there has already attracted the attention of the Huailai County Commander and the Shinkyo Prefecture Yin, and they are preparing materials and planning to stab the Imperial Front.
Someone also found me here, a distant relative of Feng Ge'er. Di Qing robbed people of 20 acres of land and injured people. It shouldn't be. β
Jia Lian pretended not to see Jia Zhen's increasingly gloomy face at all, and continued: "Brother Zhen, I will also suppress this for you. But I'm not alone in this matter, Brother Zhen should be careful. β
"Brother Lian, what do you mean?"
"It's not what I mean, but what Brother Jane means. Huailai, Shenjing is close to the left, and nobles gather. You don't think it's full of people who have no way to sue. β
Before Jia Lian finished speaking, Lai Sheng ran in again: "Uncle, the second master of Xifu is here." I was very angry. β
Jia Zhen and Jia Lian glanced at each other, and Jia Lian said calmly: "Fu Shi, the protΓ©gΓ© of the second master, is currently the master of Huailai County. β
Jia Zhen's brow furrowed. Things don't seem quite right.
