Qin Keqing is romantic by nature and has an affair with her father-in-law Jia Zhen. Once they met visiting Jia Qiang during a tryst. To be on the safe side, they changed the meeting place to Tianxianglou. From then on, they often meet in Tianxianglou, and let the maid Jolie take care of them.

On one occasion, Qin Keqing accidentally left her hair clasp in Tianxianglou, which was picked up by the maid Zhu Bao. Although she wanted to keep it for herself, it was easy for people to see that this hairpin belonged to Qin Keqing, so the maid Zhu Bao planned to hand it in and met You Shi on the way.

Previously, You Shi heard some rumors about Qin Keqing in the mansion. You Shi saw the hair clasp with a grain of salt, followed Qin Keqing with Jia Rong, and planned to catch him in bed. As a result, they really caught him. Due to the negligence of Jolie, your family exposed the affair between Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen on the spot.

After this incident, the whole room was talking about the scandal, and Jia's attitude towards it plummeted. Mrs. Punishment and Youshi also looked at her coldly, and Qin Keqing's position at home became more and more subtle. Finally, they discussed that if Qin Keqing's story gets out, it will be very bad for Jia's reputation, and she should be allowed to commit suicide to prevent the spread of the scandal.

Qin Keqing knew it was difficult to survive in Jiafu, so he committed suicide in Tianxianglou. When the master died, Jolie felt that it was difficult for him to have a good end, so he touched the post and died. However, Zhu Bao, the maid, felt that it was her own fault, which exposed the whole thing and took the initiative to wake Qin Keqing up with guilt.

After Qin Keqing died, Jia Zhen was the saddest one. In A Dream of Red Mansions, Qin Keqing's funeral is extremely luxurious. In July, 1949, Jia Zhen personally selected the coffin plate. In order to make the funeral more beautiful, Jia Zhen invited Xifeng to help him as an assistant, and donated a future to Jia Rong through the strength of the big man.

In the verdict of Twelve Women in Jinling, Qin Keqing can see the picture of "a beautiful woman hanged herself on a tall building", and the verdict is inconsistent with the death in the original book, so the statement of suicide is closer.

Extended data:

Qin Keqing can be said to be the "master" with the shortest appearance time in A Dream of Red Mansions, but Cao Xueqin spoke highly of her appearance. Baochai and Daiyu are two different styles of beauty. Baochai is elegant and charming, and Daiyu is graceful and naive.

But Qin Keqing was able to combine the beauty of the two and achieve "simultaneous beauty", which shows that Zuo Zongtang also praised the beauty of Qin Keqing. Qin Keqing used to be an abandoned baby in Yangshengtang, but his wife died young because of his old camp Lang Qinbang. He had no children from 1990 to 1950. He adopted a boy and a girl named Qin Keqing from Yangshengtang.

When she grew up, Qin Keqing married Jia Zhen's son Jia Rong because of her beauty and good relationship with Qin and Jia, and became a rich woman. Qin Keqing, who married into a rich family, did not become arrogant, but became gentle and considerate. Even Grandmother Jia praised her as "the proudest person among her grandchildren"

Therefore, Qin Keqing, who was very popular, died of illness. "The older generation misses her filial piety; Equal generation, miss her intimacy and harmony; Next generation, miss her kindness; There are also servants at home. I miss her kindness in helping the poor and loving the old and the young. I will cry. "
