dream of red mansion

Chapter 241 Du Feng recommends himself
At the gate of the other courtyard, Jia Qing got off his horse here.

After checking with the Ministry of Punishments, he led a team to Xuanzhen Temple outside the city to ask to see Jia Jing, but he didn't even meet Jia Jing.

When he informed Jia Jing of the news of Jia Zhen's suicide, he only got a three-word reply:
understood.

As a last resort, Jia Qing had no choice but to return without success.

"Our lady is waiting for the young master."

As soon as Jia Qing entered the courtyard, she saw Luzhu. She was teaching the younger and younger children to practice swords. Seeing him coming in, she stopped her movements and said.

Jia Qing greeted Big Shuang'er and Big Shuang'er with a smile, and asked Lu Zhu in their slightly shy faces, "Where is she?"

"In the house."

Jia Qing nodded to express his understanding, and took another look at Sister Shuang'er before heading to Wu Xian'er's room.

Behind her, Lu Zhu looked at the big and small Shuang'er who silently stared at Jia Qing's back and said angrily, "What's there to see, have you all forgotten what your master said?"

The two women turned their heads and looked at each other. They both saw the puzzlement and grievance in each other's eyes, but they still said: "Shuang'er knew it was wrong, thank you uncle for teaching..."

With such an appearance, how could Lu Zhu say anything else?Turn around and silently teach them how to practice swords.

Wu Xian'er's room is very simple, the simplest among all the girls' boudoirs Jia Qing has seen, the only decoration may be the green frost sword on the wall.

However, simple does not mean concise.As soon as he entered the door, Jia Qing saw books scattered around on the bookshelf. Wu Xian'er was half leaning on the grand teacher's chair under the bookshelf, concentrating on reading.

On the next table, there is a half-eaten apple.

Jia Qing looked around with a smile, Wu Xian'er looked up and saw him, snorted coldly, and said, "Don't you know how to knock when you enter?"

Jia Qing laughed and said, "When have you ever entered my room and knocked on the door?"

Wu Xian'er thought that this was really the case, so she stopped talking.

Taking out an apple from the plate again, and took a bite, Jia Qing sat next to Wu Xian'er and said, "Jia Zhen is dead."

Wu Xian'er frowned, and said sarcastically, "Why, are you surprised?"

Jia Qing frowned. From what he knew, Wu Xian'er was not a cold-tempered person. Why did she always sneer at him when they met?
"Accidents are not accidents, but I didn't expect you to move so fast."

Hearing what Jia Qing said, Wu Xian'er remained silent, expressing in her silence that this was nothing more than a piece of cake.

Jia Qing said again: "I'm just curious, how did you do it?"

Wu Xian'er turned to another page of the medical book, and said casually: "You gave me information about the prison chief's wealth, isn't that simple?
People like them are the most vicious and vicious.At first glance, your elder brother is the master who has no chance to stand up. For the sake of money, why don't they dare to do it?

I just gave him five hundred...one thousand five hundred taels of silver first, and then under my sword, I quickly promised that the matter would be settled. "

Jia Qing was speechless, but he understood what Wu Xian'er said in a moment.I didn't realize at all that Wu Xian'er could actually do such a thing of "filling his own pockets" and cutting off a portion of the funds halfway.

Twitching the corner of his mouth, Jia Qing pretended not to know and said, "Aren't you afraid that he won't do anything after taking the money?"

"That also requires him to have the guts!

Besides, isn't there still 500 taels of vain silver that hasn't been obtained? "

Jia Qing thought so too, with Wu Xian'er's skill, the sword reached his neck, he should be able to understand that if he embezzled the money privately, his life might be in danger.

"You didn't show any flaws, did you?"

Hearing this, Wu Xian'er frowned, and said coldly: "If you are afraid, don't ask me for help in the future! I'm too lazy to do these conspiratorial things for you!"

Jia Qing quickly apologized and said, "Don't be angry, I don't mean to disbelieve you.

I have already asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and they have confirmed that Jia Zhen committed suicide.

I'm just worried about you..."

Wu Xian'er looked at Jia Qing suspiciously, seeing his sincerity, she believed his words, and then said: "Don't worry, I was covering my face, and at that time his legs were trembling with fright, so there is no way he could see any flaws.

It's you, that's your biological elder brother, won't your conscience feel uneasy if you do this? "

Jia Qing snorted coldly: "He is not my elder brother."

Wu Xian'er thought that Jia Qing didn't regard Jia Zhen as her eldest brother, so she said so.She didn't care, anyway, she had been in contact with Jia's mansion for so many years, and she also knew that Jia Zhen was a jerk, and she didn't feel a pity at all for buying someone like Murder.

After saying a few more words, before Jia Qinglin went out, she suddenly said to Wu Xian'er: "You obviously don't hate me, why do you always pretend to be cold?
Also, your room should be tidied up!If you are lazy, you can ask Miss Luzhu to help you. If it is not possible, I am also willing to help you.

By the way, the 2000 taels of silver is considered as your reward, so you don’t need to return it to me..."

When Wu Xian'er heard what was said earlier, her eyes were sullen, but after hearing Yin Zi's words, she still couldn't help but blush.

Just when he wanted to refute the sophistry, he found that Jia Qing had already walked out of the room quickly.

Silently putting down the pages of the book that had not been turned for a long time, Wu Xian'er fell into deep thought.

Before going out, he teased Lvzhu a few words, and when the other party was not willing to answer, Jia Qing rode on his tall horse and returned to the mansion under the guard of Zhao Sheng and others.

Just arrived at the back door, before Jia Qing got off his horse, he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice: "Brother Jia..."

Jia Qing took a closer look, and it turned out to be the buddy he met in the hut, called Du Feng.

"So it's Brother Chunfeng, what's the use of asking me to live here?"

Du Feng ran forward a few steps, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Jia, it's time to call General Jia..."

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Whether you are a general or not, we can be regarded as old friends. Brother Chunfeng doesn't have to treat you like this."

Du Feng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "Then I have the cheek, how about calling you Second Lord?"

At this time, although it is an honorary title to call everyone's young master, it is not a humble way of calling it, but it is an expression of closeness.

Jia Qing smiled, didn't take it seriously, and said, "Brother Chunfeng, what's your business here?"

Hearing Jia Qing's question, Du Feng was a little embarrassed, with a twisted expression on his face.

Seeing this, Jia Qing already understood a little bit, most likely she wanted something from him, so she didn't open her mouth, just waiting for him to speak.

"It stands to reason that with my shallow friendship with Second Master, it's really not easy to be abrupt.

It's just that since I'm here today, I have to be brazen.

My father died early, and there was only a widowed mother who raised me up. It’s just that her old man was found to be suffering from tuberculosis a few years ago, and she couldn’t be cured. She passed away three days ago... three days ago...

To be an heir, not to be cared for while alive, is already filial!Now that she is gone, do you want her to go more beautifully...

It's just that my family is poor, and my family's money has been exhausted for my career.Thinking about it now, if I hadn't been implicated by me, my mother wouldn't have, wouldn't have...

None of the relatives and clans are rich and loving, so they came here rashly in desperation. If the second master does not give up, I wish to be a writer under the second master's door. I only ask the second master to borrow some money first, and after burying my mother , must go to the second master's door to obey the urging..."

The writers are the so-called aides and clean-ups.Du Feng's move has the meaning of taking refuge in the mountains.

However, what he said should be true, after all, he shouldn't dare to use it to lie to him if he can find out.

"Since ancient times, friends have shared the meaning of making money. Although you and I are not close friends, we are old acquaintances. Besides, people say that the world is in an emergency. If brother Chunfeng is in urgent need, I will help.

It's just that I don't have any plans to invite guests..."

Du Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, although he failed to fully achieve his goal this time, he finally relieved his urgent need, and said: "So, even if the second master borrowed it from me, I will write an IOU for the second master."

As he was talking, he might have remembered that he didn't bring a pen and paper. Looking at Jia Qing and his party, it didn't look like he was carrying a pen and paper. When he frowned, he was about to tear off the corner of his robe.

Jia Qing is satisfied with this.Although this person is suspected of taking the opportunity to cling to her, after all, he is very concerned about his deceased mother, so he is not a person with a corrupt heart.

"However, there is something here that I would like to ask Brother Chunfeng for help. I wonder if Brother Chunfeng would be willing?"

Du Feng was taken aback, and stopped tearing the robe.As a juren, even though he is currently in a predicament, he doesn't want to engage in a cheap job.

If he hadn't been fancy about Jia Qing's future, he wouldn't have recommended himself as an aide.

"May I ask what the second master is doing, but I can only do what I can do?"

Du Feng said.
