66. The lively Jia family
Those thrilling things in the past were told by Danyang Zhenren, he was very good at telling stories, Yun Qing was a little fascinated when he heard it, and sighed for a while, and suddenly thought of a question: "Prince Yizhong made countless enemies back then, and there were always people who held grudges, isn't the life of the Qin family very difficult?" ”
Danyang Zhenren thought for a while: "Someone will definitely be angry with her, but a drink and a peck are not predetermined, since she has enjoyed the shadow of her father's generation, she naturally has to accept the evil consequences left behind, how can there be such a cheap thing as long as the benefits are so cheap?" ”
Yun Qing thought about it, everything is one and the same, there are advantages and disadvantages, Qin Keqing was made the county lord, so the trouble it brought is indeed what she should endure, I am afraid that she will have these new troubles, but the old fate has not changed, so isn't it Yun Qing who has done bad things with good intentions? She decided to go back and look it up.
Just thinking about it, I heard Danyang Zhenren say: "I haven't paid much attention to the Qin family, I only know that the queen likes her, I heard that she is not bad, and her reputation is very good, even if someone makes it difficult, she can handle it, you don't have to worry about her." ”
Yun Qing was stunned, knowing that Danyang Zhenren saw what he was thinking, and specially explained two sentences to comfort her, Yun Qing smiled and accepted this kindness, but she had to see it with her own eyes to make sure that her situation did not get worse because of this, so that she could really put her mind at ease.
Visited Danyang Zhenren, Yunqing sent a letter to Xu Zhifu and Governor Zhou's family, both of which are still in contact with her after entering Beijing, during the New Year's Festival, people have not forgotten to send a festival gift to Xuanzhenguan, since Yunqing has entered Beijing, it is not appropriate not to say hello, but Yunqing will not visit their house, the posture that a real person should have is still to have, and it cannot be too approachable.
In order to understand the situation in the capital, Yunqing called Cui Songquan, the eldest son of the Cui family, and asked him to go to the street to collect information, and specially explained that he didn't need to ask about it, just go to the teahouse and restaurant with his ears, write down the useful news when he hears it, and come back to repeat it to her.
As for Qin Keqing's matter, Yun Qing thought about visiting slowly, after all, she was a female dependent, it was not good to inquire in a big way, in case something went wrong and damaged her reputation, it was really Yun Qing's sin, after Jia Baoyu's jade incident, she was more cautious in dealing with the problem, she would rather be slower, but also as safe as possible.
So Yunqing went to wander around Ningrong Street again, and as expected, she soon got a lot of first-hand information.
Whether it is Ningguofu or Rongguofu, the mouths of the people in the two mansions really don't have a door, the big and small affairs of the master's family are all talking points in their mouths, they are not betraying the master, or purposefully leaking the privacy of the master's family, but there is no sense of confidentiality, anyway, the masters are a little troubled, and everyone who can pass it on soon knows it, and then when they get together, they talk about it, this is the normal state of their lives, no one thinks it is wrong, and naturally no one will stop it.
Yunqing only turned around for two days, and he heard seven or eight things about the masters of Jiafu, such as Jia Baoyu was cleaned up by his father because he didn't study well; Jia Lian quarreled with his daughter-in-law again because he flirted with the maids; The antiques that Jia Yu bought at a great price were fakes, but he wanted to find someone to settle accounts but ran away early, and he threw a set of tea sets in the study to get angry; Jia Zhen bought another pair of sisters as concubines, but these two were a little unclear with Jia Rong; Xiao Rong's grandmother has been married for four or five years, and she has never been pregnant, she is drinking fetal pills in private, and Jia Zhen and her wife and sister have two or three fragrant things, and so on.
Every day is full of chickens and dogs, and there is no excitement and excitement.
Yun Qing listened to it for a few days, and found that Qin Keqing's reputation was not bad, and when people mentioned her, they praised more and scolded less, the only shortcoming was that she didn't have children, and there was no criticism of style, but some people muttered that Jia Rong was not satisfied, her daughter-in-law was beautiful and virtuous, and her status was high, and he raised several girls who had sex with her, and he was also entangled with Jia Zhen's concubine, and he seemed to have some alternative hobbies, and he was not innocent with a few handsome little girls around him, and he was blind to such a good person as his grandmother.
Yunqing was eye-opening, and couldn't help but sigh that this aristocratic son and brother really know how to play, it can be said that it is not taboo for men and women of all ages, only you can't think of it, no one can't do it, think about their luxurious and erosive life, the Jia family is undefeated and can't be said.
Having said that, the Jia family's style is certainly not very good, but it is common among many powerful people, as early as a few years ago, Yun Qing knew that they were more than enough than the top, not a good person, nor a wicked person, so Yun Qing felt that he could still save it, but Jia Min could not persuade him, so he could only strictly guard against them and prevent them from breaking the law and discipline to bully others, and there was no more expectation, so Yun Qing would not be nosy, after all, the bubbles under her feet were all on her own, and she also had a lot of things to do. I don't have that much energy to stare at them all day.
She tried to help them, but they didn't take the chance, and she couldn't help it.
It was the Xue family who gave Yunqing a surprise, Xue Pan was taught by He Sihua for a year, and I don't know how many times he was rectified, but he really restrained a lot, not to mention the spirit of the people, his knowledge has also increased, and his temper has also improved, and the most important thing is that he understands proportion, knows what he can and can't do, and he still doesn't do much when he goes home, eating, drinking, and having fun to attract cats and dogs, but he has never been in trouble again.
The Xue family was distressed enough to see that he had lost weight and darkened, but they were also very relieved to see that he was sensible.
After careful observation, Yun Qing confirmed that Qin Keqing's life was okay, and her situation was definitely better than in the original book, and she was nosy and exposed her life experience, and did not bring her harm, so she was relieved.
On this day, Yunqing came home from outside, Cui Songquan came to report the news he collected as usual, and after the 1510 report, he mentioned one thing: "I heard the steward of Concubine Zhang De's family tell people that the palace may have a draft, saying that in addition to choosing a concubine for the prince, it is also necessary to choose a companion for the princess and the county lord, and the decree will be issued in a few days." ”
Yun Qing knew that it was estimated that after the Xue family got the news, it was time to go to Beijing, but according to the current situation, Xue Pan should not dare to do it, because if he competed with others to buy slaves and maids, he would kill people, and that Feng Yuan Gongzi should be able to avoid a catastrophe, right?
But maybe, if his life is as stubborn as Zhen Yinglian and the others, then even if there is no Xue Pan, or there will be Bing Pan and Shui Pan, without Zhen Yinglian, there may be Jia Yinglian, and the injustice of fate will always appear, which is not something Yun Qing can predict.
Of course, she didn't ignore it, she had already sent a letter to her acquaintances in Jinling City, looking for someone to keep an eye on him, if she really encountered any emergencies, she could help him and try to save his life, no matter how much, she couldn't do anything.
