Origin and Story of 斯斯文文

Jia Baoyu, accompanied by Aunt Feng, Grandmother Jia, and others, visited the Ningguo Mansion as a guest.

Baoyu wanted to meet Qin Keqing's younger brother.

Qin Keqing told him not to rush, and You Shi remarked that Qin Zhong was gentle and refined (斯斯文文), unlike Baoyu who was often boisterous and rough-and-tumble.

Ignoring them, Baoyu went to look for him himself.

A family member then brought Qin Zhong to the living room.
