The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous
Chapter 124 The Husband Is Like a Cat
Because the husband draws the eyebrows himself, naturally there is no need to ask cumbersomely, "The shade of the eyebrows is not suitable for the time", but the newlywed Xu Qingheng has hidden thoughts in her heart, so there is a lot less tenderness in yesterday's bridal chamber.
Jia Lian also noticed Xu Qingheng's thoughtfulness, but at this moment the two of them were leaning against each other's shoulders, and could vaguely feel each other's breath on their faces. With the ability to talk sweetly, he is too lazy to speak now.
After a while, I heard rustling sounds outside the window, and then there was a vague "what's the matter with each other", and after a while, someone outside the door reported clearly: "Miss, the second master Bao is here."
Xu Qingheng immediately stood up when he heard the words, straightened his clothes a bit, and put on an amiable appearance of "the elder sister-in-law is the mother" with some ease.
Sure enough, after a ringing ring, Yingchun had changed into homely clothes, and Baoyu had also taken off the outer clothes she had worn at Jiamu's place earlier in the morning, and both of them regarded Xu Qingheng as their own family.
"No wonder I just crossed the threshold, and there was a mother and a grandmother on the left blocking me." Baoyu still didn't know about men and women, but in the east garden, Li Wan thought about Jia Zhu's frailty, and Jia Lan's young Mrs. Wang. Being mean, if something happens to Jia Zhu, she has no money and silk, and she is afraid that she will not be able to sustain herself, so she can save money everywhere except Jia Zhu's daily expenses.So the people around Mrs. Wang in the east garden waited until they couldn't get money out of Li Wan, so they secretly hated Li Wan, guessing that Mrs. Wang hated Jia Zhu the most and favored Li Wan, so they got the kung fu and went here today. Mrs. Wang said in her ear, "Grandpa is wearing a hairpin for grandma today", and Minger muttered, "Grandma's hair bun today, it is said that grandpa combed it himself while coughing."Those with a discerning eye can tell whether the gossip of these women is credible or not.However, Mrs. Wang hated Li Jijiu so much that she couldn't support Jia Zhu. She wished she had an excuse to reprimand Li Wan, so she didn't bother to tell the truth from the fake. Facing Li Wan, he said "I know you are young and playful, but you should put your uncle's body first" and other inexplicable words.So again and again, no matter what happened to Li Wan and his wife, everyone in the East Garden already believed that Li Wan "does not obey women's morals".
Baoyu was young, and she couldn't think of Li Wan's bed and then Li Wan's boudoir like Mrs. Wang and other mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. "Greedy", so in a ignorance, he looked at the provocative faces of the women, and at the very gentle and gentle Li Wan, who happened to be in Shaohua, so he combed his hair, thrushes, and wore hairpins without knowing it. Waiting for things as elegant things.
So at this moment, Zi Baoyu sighed ignorantly in his heart that he was lucky enough to see the newlyweds thrush, and looked at Xu Qingheng again and again with his eyes, and still did not forget to tease Xu Qingheng with a vague understanding.
Originally Baoyu was young, so Xu Qingheng didn't pay any attention to his words, but just said generously: "I don't know why Brother Bao and Eldest Sister are here?" Seeing that Baoyu couldn't help winking, he couldn't help but look behind him. When he turned around, he saw Jia Lian sitting with his legs crossed and smiling, still playing with the eyebrow pencil in his hand, with great intentions.
"It's the wrong time for us to come." Yingchun smiled, Xu Qingheng suspected that she was unwilling to hand over the account books, and smiled more and more intimately.
"What are you talking about, sit down quickly." Xu Qingheng smiled, and because of some suspicion in her heart, she thought a little sourly at this moment: I am afraid that in the future, when she tells others that her life is not satisfactory, others will laugh at her back It is not enough to have a wishful man.
Xu Qingheng wants to lead Baoyu and Yingchun to sit in the open room. Baoyu wants to see the gouache and rouge on Xu Qingheng's dressing table, but he doesn't follow immediately.
Seeing Baoyulai here, Yingchun was afraid that he would delay the reunion of the newlyweds, so she made up her mind to take him away immediately. Fearing that she would not be able to get away after sitting down for a while, she stood there and smiled at Xu Qingheng and Jia Lian: "The old lady said, She wanted to talk more with her new sister-in-law. She originally wanted to invite the new sister-in-law to have dinner with her at night, but she was afraid that the old man would talk too much, which would delay her time for a while, making her sister-in-law mentally weak, and making her in-laws and elders feel distressed tomorrow. So she told her brother My sister-in-law eats less for lunch, so I invite my brother and sister-in-law to have some tea at her place after noon."
"Understood, tell the old lady that there is no need to send someone to invite someone. We will talk to the old lady after lunch." Jia Lian took the eyebrow pencil and beat Baoyu's hand that had been pressed on the tortoiseshell rouge box, staring angrily. glanced at him.
"I knew you were going to mess around." Yingchun hurried to Baoyu's side, pulled his sleeves, and was about to take him out.
"Sister-in-law, see you later." Baoyu rubbed his hands pretending to be in pain, and looked at Xu Qingheng again, thinking about how to describe Xu Qingheng's tenderness as a bride to Jia Mu when he went back, and reluctantly followed Yingchun out of the house. .
Xu Qingheng didn't stop until he reached the door of Mingjian, and then walked back from Mingjian. Seeing Jia Lian still sitting, he smiled and said: "My uncle and sister-in-law are very lively and interesting. They will have fun in the future."
"If you are far away, you will complain, and if you are close, you will not be inferior. It's good to play occasionally. If you joke with them every day, it's not good to make others think you love to play." Jia Lian gently put down the eyebrow pencil on the dressing table.
"When you are far away, you will complain, but if you are close, you will not be inferior." Xu Qingheng chewed these words in a low voice, and laughed for a long time, "Second brother is a drunkard who doesn't mean to drink. Could it be that this sentence is to point out the previous sentence "Only women" Is it difficult to raise a villain?"
Jia Lian said with a smile: "You are too thoughtful. Could it be that you don't know that I don't have much ink in my stomach. After I said this, how can I remember what the first sentence is. I said this, but I am afraid that the servants in the family will be angry because you like to joke with your brothers and sisters." No respect for you."
"Well, I don't remember one." Xu Qingheng took a closer look at Jia Lian's intention to make her stay close to Yingchun, Baoyu and others, secretly thinking that although the Rongguo Mansion has a small population, the entanglements are complicated. Things in the family are too ruthless. In the future, if you are an official and care about your reputation, you will have to be softer, and you will have to be courteous to Jiamu Jiazheng and even Mrs. Xing.But Jia Lian has a clear mind about everything, and wants to be famous but refuses to suffer, so she can only be called a "careful" bad person as a daughter-in-law from outside.
Seeing Jia Lian's abacus clearly, Xu Qingheng felt a little lighter, so holding the handkerchief, he wished Jia Lian who was still sitting by the dressing table a blessing, and said with a smile: "In the future, please forgive me, my concubine is not talented. , who is jealous, stingy and unreasonable."
Jia Lian was startled, seeing that Xu Qingheng didn't get up after performing the blessing, he hurriedly got up and helped her up, the abacus was figured out, he couldn't help pressing his nose with his hand, and said rather resentfully: "What nonsense are you talking about? "
"I know that the second master is not a person who is easy to communicate with people, but I am not stupid. Therefore, if the second master has something to say, just keep the words in the words. The concubine can't guess right once. If I guess two or three times, there will always be something wrong." In middle school." Fearing that Jia Lian would not like this, Xu Qingheng smiled more and more charmingly when he spoke.
Jia Lian froze, took back the hand resting on Xu Qingheng's arm, put his forehead on his forehead and said with a smile: "You can see it. Did the housekeepers come and kowtow?"
Xu Qingheng originally thought that after he exposed the hidden words in Jia Lian's words, he would just talk nonsense, and he would also make up some intimate words to "communicate" with her, now he looks more calm and unconcerned, and feels that she is the one who married the couple. The two words are easy to see.Concentrating slightly, he said: "Sister Yuanyang just said something, I sent her away, and I will only wait for the second master to come back and see you again."
"Call someone to come now." Jia Lian straightened her clothes, because Xu Qingheng was not relentless, and unconsciously valued her a little more.
"...Why don't you go to the second master's inner study? This is always the inner house. Although there are respectable stewards, it's not good if you bump into the sisters."
"Alright."
Xu Qingheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she would like to see what Jia Lian's daily living place looks like.Tightening her bun slightly, she followed Jia Lian out.
"Second Master, there were many people and things were going on last night. The boys put the big boxes of Second Mistress in the back room randomly. Now that the boxes have been lifted out, I ask Second Master to show me where to put them."
Just after crossing the red-carved threshold, there was a generous nanny at the foot of the steps, and several sturdy daughter-in-laws who were wiping away their sweat. As expected, there were four or five mahogany golden lock boxes next to the daughter-in-laws.
Just looking at the shiny golden lock red paint on the box, and the cautious posture of the nanny and daughter-in-law, one can tell that the things in the box are of great value.
Xu Qingheng gasped, his face turned pale involuntarily, knowing that the nannies and daughters-in-law would bring out the dowry boxes again in order to give her "a long face", but just entered the door, right in front of Jia Lian Showing off the richness of the dowry is never a good thing.
"The left and right are your aunt's things, let's store them in an empty room when your aunt is free." Jia Lian only glanced at the box, then cupped his hands and asked Xu Qingheng to go forward side by side with him.
Xu Qingheng's eyelids twitched slightly, smiled, and said to Qin's nanny, "Just find a room and put it there, and there is nothing special in it." After finishing speaking, he followed Jia Lian and walked forward again. Only when he reached the gatehouse of the courtyard, he heard a hale but hard-to-disguise old voice from outside the courtyard wall.
"Then Mrs. Qin is really out of her mind. The old lady didn't ask her to come with her, and she rushed to show her face in front of the second master as soon as she came. The box was neatly placed, and she asked someone to carry the box to the second master. What are you doing in front of me?"
Xu Qingheng recognized Nanny Li's voice, coughed and looked at Jia Lian's face.
Jia Lian turned around and saw Qin Shi who had shown his face in front of him standing there with a sneer. With a sneer, he turned around and walked forward as if nothing had happened.
Xu Qingheng had no choice but to follow Jia Lian out of the courtyard and waited outside the courtyard. Seeing the old nanny standing awkwardly, she smiled and listened to Jia Lian's greetings with the old nanny without making a sound, just followed closely Jia Lian went forward.
"You are a loyal old lady." Jia Lian narrowed her eyes and looked up at the sky.
Xu Qingheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, knowing that Jia Lian was hiding something in his words, thinking about how many twists and turns he had in his heart, she just had a clear conscience, so she smiled and said: "I really don't know about it, it's all because of my mother." Mammy loves me too much. She heard that I am not in charge of the Jia family's money, so she made such a fuss. The Qin family is the one who is in Mammy's hands, and this incident was definitely not her idea. It should be Mammy and her I want to use this to test the second master, whether he is stingy with money or dissatisfied with me. It is good to cherish money. If she is dissatisfied with me, she must advise me to know where the second master is dissatisfied and how I can satisfy the second master. Well - the second master just rest assured, no matter what, she knows the seriousness, and she will never talk nonsense in front of grandma tomorrow." Hearing someone hey in a low voice, when she turned around, it was the maid Wen Lan who reminded her that she should not Nanny Li told Jia Lian what she was thinking, and then she turned her head again, thinking that Nanny Li was an elderly person with a lot of experience, so she might see that Nanny Li didn't treat her much. thick.
"So Mammy meant that. If I had known this, I should have asked someone to carry the box to my study. Otherwise, wouldn't Mammy have misunderstood it?" Jia Lian laughed, because he had expected that Xu Qingheng's people would definitely be there. The meeting was dissatisfied that Xu Qingheng did not have full powers to manage the house, so he did not take such trivial matters of demonstrations to heart.
"The second master means that he is stingy with money and is not dissatisfied with me?" Xu Qingheng pursed his lips and smiled. After a smile, he couldn't help but think again that all the previous troubles in Jia's family were caused by women with foreign surnames who married into Jia's family. It's no wonder Jia Lian was unwilling to entrust the power of internal and external housekeepers to her right away. Although she had no intention of doing so, it was difficult to guarantee that none of the people she brought had the ambition to "occupy the magpie's nest" and make a big splash in Jia's family. However, this is Jia Lian's taboo.
Thinking about it like this, Xu Qingheng reminded himself that if he could use Jia Lian's people in the future, he must not use the people he brought over.
Jia Lian slightly put her hands behind her back, pursed her lips, and looked at Xu Qingheng beside her, seeing that she was not as preoccupied as she was when Thrush, now it seemed like she was letting go of herself and watching with cold eyes to see how small he is. Well, so he smiled and said: "It's good that you know, human heart is sinister, although I don't talk to people often, but if I do, I will never take it back."
"The villain's heart is capricious, who dares to accept it?" Xu Qingheng sneered, seeing that Jia Lian was not angry, he knew that Jia Lian was not dissatisfied with her, but just kept the "defense against others" in his heart all the time. Seeing that there were only a few servants along the way, it was not like the prince's house she used to go in and out was full of servants and maidservants. She walked through the alley into the hallway, passed through a corridor through the wall, and then entered the backyard of Jinghuanzhai through the back door. .
Because it was Jia Lian's daily living place, Xu Qingheng couldn't help but pay attention to everything. He saw that the interior and exterior of the Jinghuanzhai were full of flowers, the flower garden was full of rocks and fruit trees, there were all kinds of parrots and starlings hanging on the veranda, and there was a bonsai fish tank under the veranda. After entering the three rooms, the Baibao Pavilion is dazzling again. This place has a chessboard with intertwined black and white chess pieces, and there is a pile of carved peach pits. Through the screen, you can vaguely see the chessboard on the desk. There are also half-read books and half-written characters.
Looking back, he saw Jia Lian sending Quan Fu and Quan Shou to summon people to visit the new grandma, and then he was very comfortably covered with a half-new pulu blanket and reclined on the beauty couch to read letters with his friends.
"Sure enough, others are at ease here." Xu Qingheng thought to himself, feeling a little disappointed at first, and then relieved, secretly thinking that he cleaned up his own house and yard so lively, and all the utensils used were colorful, elegant and numerous, which can be seen He is a person who is unwilling to sink in fame and fortune, and unwilling to be lonely in human relationships. He is just relying on his good looks, smooth words and careful thinking, so he can easily attract red men and women, and everything is at his fingertips. That's why he was spoiled like this temper.
He casually took the mother-of-pearl inlaid cloud dragon pattern cover bowl that Jia Lian used every day to look at the pattern, and suddenly stretched out a hand in front of his eyes, and then he saw Jia Lian, who was still comfortable just now, stretched out his hand to grab the tea bowl.
"I don't know who got drunk last night and left over tea, I can't eat it." Jia Lian smiled and handed the tea bowl to Quan Lu.
Quan Lu had been serving him carefully just now, but now he saw Jia Lian saying that someone had leftover tea, so he swore that he would never let anyone else use Jia Lian's tea bowl, and shut his mouth vigilantly.
Xu Qingheng smiled and didn't ask any further questions, and went to look at the peach pits in the dustpan, first to see the carved ones, then heard Jia Lian say "just take it if you like", agreed, and went to look at the carved ones After halfway through, he took the small brass chisel on the other side and gestured, and sure enough, another hand stretched out in front of him.
"Come and see what I have already carved. If you like it, just take it to the back." Jia Lian smiled, then took the dustpan and the next box and handed it to Xu Qingheng, threw the chisel back into the dustpan, and led her to sit beside the beauty's couch After sitting down on the crescent stool, he read the letter on his own.
Xu Qingheng already understood in his heart that the carved peach core was useless to Jia Lian, so it was fine to give it away, so he put the box on his lap, but he didn't look at the peach core, and he didn't look around anymore, just looked around. She raised her toes contentedly and looked at the embroidered beads on the embroidered shoes, thinking about it, secretly thinking that she would ignore him first, to see if he would speak first.
It was probably at this time that the stewards had their own important matters and left the Rongguo Mansion for a while, so after a full cup of tea time, no one gathered to visit.
"Do you want to see my daily living room?" Jia Lian coughed, seeing that Xu Qingheng was only entertaining himself and ignored him, so he opened his mouth.He naturally noticed Xu Qingheng's curious look just now, but he pretended not to know because she was afraid that she would mention moving these things to the back house.
"I've already seen it just now." Xu Qingheng said softly and almost kindly, squinting his eyes slightly and looking at the suave Jia Lian, "Second master should be a cat, right?"
When people kiss him, he hides, looking unattainable; when people stay away from him, he will come to tease him unwillingly.If you want to hold a cat in your arms, should you chase it or hide it?
Jia Lian also noticed Xu Qingheng's thoughtfulness, but at this moment the two of them were leaning against each other's shoulders, and could vaguely feel each other's breath on their faces. With the ability to talk sweetly, he is too lazy to speak now.
After a while, I heard rustling sounds outside the window, and then there was a vague "what's the matter with each other", and after a while, someone outside the door reported clearly: "Miss, the second master Bao is here."
Xu Qingheng immediately stood up when he heard the words, straightened his clothes a bit, and put on an amiable appearance of "the elder sister-in-law is the mother" with some ease.
Sure enough, after a ringing ring, Yingchun had changed into homely clothes, and Baoyu had also taken off the outer clothes she had worn at Jiamu's place earlier in the morning, and both of them regarded Xu Qingheng as their own family.
"No wonder I just crossed the threshold, and there was a mother and a grandmother on the left blocking me." Baoyu still didn't know about men and women, but in the east garden, Li Wan thought about Jia Zhu's frailty, and Jia Lan's young Mrs. Wang. Being mean, if something happens to Jia Zhu, she has no money and silk, and she is afraid that she will not be able to sustain herself, so she can save money everywhere except Jia Zhu's daily expenses.So the people around Mrs. Wang in the east garden waited until they couldn't get money out of Li Wan, so they secretly hated Li Wan, guessing that Mrs. Wang hated Jia Zhu the most and favored Li Wan, so they got the kung fu and went here today.

Baoyu was young, and she couldn't think of Li Wan's bed and then Li Wan's boudoir like Mrs. Wang and other mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.

Waiting for things as elegant things.
So at this moment, Zi Baoyu sighed ignorantly in his heart that he was lucky enough to see the newlyweds thrush, and looked at Xu Qingheng again and again with his eyes, and still did not forget to tease Xu Qingheng with a vague understanding.

Xu Qingheng smiled, and because of some suspicion in her heart, she thought a little sourly at this moment: I am afraid that in the future, when she tells others that her life is not satisfactory, others will laugh at her back It is not enough to have a wishful man.
Xu Qingheng wants to lead Baoyu and Yingchun to sit in the open room. Baoyu wants to see the gouache and rouge on Xu Qingheng's dressing table, but he doesn't follow immediately.
Seeing Baoyulai here, Yingchun was afraid that he would delay the reunion of the newlyweds, so she made up her mind to take him away immediately. Fearing that she would not be able to get away after sitting down for a while, she stood there and smiled at Xu Qingheng and Jia Lian: "The old lady said, She wanted to talk more with her new sister-in-law.

"Understood, tell the old lady that there is no need to send someone to invite someone. We will talk to the old lady after lunch." Jia Lian took the eyebrow pencil and beat Baoyu's hand that had been pressed on the tortoiseshell rouge box, staring angrily. glanced at him.

"Sister-in-law, see you later." Baoyu rubbed his hands pretending to be in pain, and looked at Xu Qingheng again, thinking about how to describe Xu Qingheng's tenderness as a bride to Jia Mu when he went back, and reluctantly followed Yingchun out of the house. .
Xu Qingheng didn't stop until he reached the door of Mingjian, and then walked back from Mingjian. Seeing Jia Lian still sitting, he smiled and said: "My uncle and sister-in-law are very lively and interesting. They will have fun in the future."

Although she had no intention of doing so, it was difficult to guarantee that none of the people she brought had the ambition to "occupy the magpie's nest" and make a big splash in Jia's family. However, this is Jia Lian's taboo.
Thinking about it like this, Xu Qingheng reminded himself that if he could use Jia Lian's people in the future, he must not use the people he brought over.
Jia Lian slightly put her hands behind her back, pursed her lips, and looked at Xu Qingheng beside her, seeing that she was not as preoccupied as she was when Thrush, now it seemed like she was letting go of herself and watching with cold eyes to see how small he is. Well, so he smiled and said: "It's good that you know, human heart is sinister, although I don't talk to people often, but if I do, I will never take it back."
"The villain's heart is capricious, who dares to accept it?" Xu Qingheng sneered, seeing that Jia Lian was not angry, he knew that Jia Lian was not dissatisfied with her, but just kept the "defense against others" in his heart all the time. Seeing that there were only a few servants along the way, it was not like the prince's house she used to go in and out was full of servants and maidservants. She walked through the alley into the hallway, passed through a corridor through the wall, and then entered the backyard of Jinghuanzhai through the back door. .
Because it was Jia Lian's daily living place, Xu Qingheng couldn't help but pay attention to everything. He saw that the interior and exterior of the Jinghuanzhai were full of flowers, the flower garden was full of rocks and fruit trees, there were all kinds of parrots and starlings hanging on the veranda, and there was a bonsai fish tank under the veranda. After entering the three rooms, the Baibao Pavilion is dazzling again. This place has a chessboard with intertwined black and white chess pieces, and there is a pile of carved peach pits. Through the screen, you can vaguely see the chessboard on the desk. There are also half-read books and half-written characters.
Looking back, he saw Jia Lian sending Quan Fu and Quan Shou to summon people to visit the new grandma, and then he was very comfortably covered with a half-new pulu blanket and reclined on the beauty couch to read letters with his friends.
"Sure enough, others are at ease here." Xu Qingheng thought to himself, feeling a little disappointed at first, and then relieved, secretly thinking that he cleaned up his own house and yard so lively, and all the utensils used were colorful, elegant and numerous, which can be seen He is a person who is unwilling to sink in fame and fortune, and unwilling to be lonely in human relationships. He is just relying on his good looks, smooth words and careful thinking, so he can easily attract red men and women, and everything is at his fingertips. That's why he was spoiled like this temper.
He casually took the mother-of-pearl inlaid cloud dragon pattern cover bowl that Jia Lian used every day to look at the pattern, and suddenly stretched out a hand in front of his eyes, and then he saw Jia Lian, who was still comfortable just now, stretched out his hand to grab the tea bowl.
"I don't know who got drunk last night and left over tea, I can't eat it." Jia Lian smiled and handed the tea bowl to Quan Lu.
Quan Lu had been serving him carefully just now, but now he saw Jia Lian saying that someone had leftover tea, so he swore that he would never let anyone else use Jia Lian's tea bowl, and shut his mouth vigilantly.
Xu Qingheng smiled and didn't ask any further questions, and went to look at the peach pits in the dustpan, first to see the carved ones, then heard Jia Lian say "just take it if you like", agreed, and went to look at the carved ones After halfway through, he took the small brass chisel on the other side and gestured, and sure enough, another hand stretched out in front of him.
"Come and see what I have already carved. If you like it, just take it to the back." Jia Lian smiled, then took the dustpan and the next box and handed it to Xu Qingheng, threw the chisel back into the dustpan, and led her to sit beside the beauty's couch After sitting down on the crescent stool, he read the letter on his own.
Xu Qingheng already understood in his heart that the carved peach core was useless to Jia Lian, so it was fine to give it away, so he put the box on his lap, but he didn't look at the peach core, and he didn't look around anymore, just looked around. She raised her toes contentedly and looked at the embroidered beads on the embroidered shoes, thinking about it, secretly thinking that she would ignore him first, to see if he would speak first.
It was probably at this time that the stewards had their own important matters and left the Rongguo Mansion for a while, so after a full cup of tea time, no one gathered to visit.
"Do you want to see my daily living room?" Jia Lian coughed, seeing that Xu Qingheng was only entertaining himself and ignored him, so he opened his mouth.He naturally noticed Xu Qingheng's curious look just now, but he pretended not to know because she was afraid that she would mention moving these things to the back house.
"I've already seen it just now." Xu Qingheng said softly and almost kindly, squinting his eyes slightly and looking at the suave Jia Lian, "Second master should be a cat, right?"
When people kiss him, he hides, looking unattainable; when people stay away from him, he will come to tease him unwillingly.If you want to hold a cat in your arms, should you chase it or hide it?
