I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 12
Jia He stood up thoughtfully and heard Ping'er ask from the side: "How come the fifth lady noticed these pots? But are they any different from the others?"

Jia He stared at the faintly visible bits of debris on the soil in the flower pots. If you don't look carefully, you can't notice them. He said casually: "The flower pots I saw under my mother's window are the same as these. Naturally, I think they are better than others." It looks better."

Several maids and women passing by in the yard chuckled.

Ping'er glared at them, and they quickly lowered their heads and continued working.

The little maid who led the way was also smiling, but she was kind-hearted: "The fifth girl has good eyesight. At that time, the second mistress said that she wanted to give the eldest lady some pots. It happened that the second master and Zhao'er were busy, so they gave the eldest lady some flowers. Take the pot to the car."

Ping'er nodded slightly to her with appreciation and gave her two dollars: "Take the girl out."

The little maid was blessed and happily led the way.

Mother Guo followed closely behind the girl.

Chun Zhi pulled Xia Ye a few steps behind. Seeing that the person in front was far away, Chun Zhi whispered: "You should be more alert! You and I are both wives for girls. If something happens, you I can’t even get away from it! I don’t want to be dragged to death by you!”

Xia Ye was unconvinced: "What does she know? She's just a fool. As long as we can please my wife, why should we humble ourselves in front of her?"

"No matter how stupid you are, I'm more noble than you!" Chun Zhi said, hating that iron is not enough: "If you are still stubborn, I can't save you, I can only worry about myself getting out." After that, he quickened his pace and followed.

Jia He knows that Guo's mother has a strict mouth.Seeing that his two maids were walking behind, and the little maid who was leading the way was walking ahead while talking to Xue Yan, he asked Mother Guo: "When you make sachets on weekdays, what do you usually put in them?"

"It's just hay and dried flowers." Mother Guo became interested: "Girl, do you want a sachet? I'm clumsy and not very good at needlework. But there is a maid named Huo Xiang in my wife's room, and her work is really good. So good, even people here in Rongguo Mansion are looking for her help. When she comes back, let her make one for the girl."

Jia Heba didn't want to talk about Huoxiang for a while, so he asked, "What do you like to put in the sachet of Huoxiang?"

"I saw her making an autumn-flavored one for Wang Shanbao's family. It seemed to be some unknown scraps. It smelled weird." Guo's mother said: "She is pretty and has a bit of a lady's temper. What can I say? 'Different fragrances should be used for different people. I mixed the spices for you myself, and they are all different.' She also said that Wang Shanbao's fragrance is suitable for a calm and capable flavor, so she tinkered with it."

"What kind of fragrance does Mother Wang have? Has Mother Guo ever smelled it?"

"With my status, how dare I ask someone from Wang Shanbao's family to come and smell it? But I heard someone say that it is quite fragrant, like pine and cypress."

That is different from what Huo Xiang wears around her waist.Since she likes to mix different scents for people, the one in the sachet is the only one.

The crumbs in the flowerpot look similar to those in the sachet, and taste the same.Since the flower pot under Mrs. Xing's window also smells like this, it may also be mixed with this kind of debris.

Jia Lian is very suspicious.I just don't know if these debris were put in deliberately to hide them, or if they were done unintentionally, the debris got on his body and then rubbed into the soil in the basin.

To be honest, it is more likely to be deliberately hidden.Because Jia Lian is said to be quite lazy on weekdays and never has the patience to do anything with his own hands.Such a person was actually willing to move flower pots, and moved so many pots in succession. Who would believe him if he said he had no other thoughts?

Just as Jia He was thinking about this, the person in front suddenly stopped.

She quickly stopped to avoid collision.Haruzhi rushed up from behind, pointed at the little maid and Xue Yan in front and said angrily: "What's the point of you stopping suddenly like this? You're not afraid of hitting our girl."

Jia He wanted to say it was okay, but she was too absorbed in thinking about it and didn't pay attention.But before she could speak, Xue Yan had already begun to explain in a low voice.

"It's all my fault." Xue Yan lowered his head and touched his arms for a while, then took out a small paper bag and handed it to him: "My girl stuffed some snacks and asked me to bring them to the fifth girl. She said she was afraid that the girl would go there. I'm hungry at night. I was so nervous that I had to meet my second grandma and forgot about it, but I just remembered it."

There are two pieces of rose pastry wrapped in a small paper package, and the pastry is fragrant.Jia He walked and ate all the way, feeling very happy.

"Girl, it's not good for you to eat while walking like this. Just in your own courtyard, this is Rongguo Mansion." Guo's mother kept reminding her worriedly: "If this slag falls on your clothes, it will stick to it. It doesn’t look good, right?”

From time to time Haruzhi ran forward two steps to wipe off the cake Momo from the girl.

Xia Ye smiled and said: "Mom, you don't need to say more. If the girl understood, she would have paid attention to it. Isn't it because the girl didn't notice?"

Although what she said didn't sound good, it was better than before.Jia Luo glanced at her and said, "Xia Ye is right."

Xia Ye didn't expect to be named and praised by the girl. She immediately blushed and became a little embarrassed: "I didn't say anything. It's just that my mother was nagging her like this. She said it so many times and it still felt like she hadn't said anything. That’s why I’m trying to persuade you.”

Jia He sighed.This Xia Ye couldn't help but praise him too much. Just after he finished praising him, he saw that he was talking nonsense again.

A few people chatted with each other and arrived at Jia Mu's yard.

Yuanyang was waiting eagerly at the entrance of the courtyard. He saw a little person coming over smoothly, and opened his arms to let the people around him wipe the corners of his mouth and clothes. He couldn't help but smile and greeted him: "The fifth girl is here, the old lady is waiting for you. For a long time, I said that I would wait for you to come and then prepare the meal."

Jia He then asked, "Is Sister Lin here?"

"Here I am, I've been talking to the old lady."

Jia He nodded.

She just said that Jia Mu didn't particularly like her, so how could she wait for her to come and serve the meal.Lin Daiyu must have been thinking about her and told Jia Mu so, so Jia Mu would give such instructions.

The more he thought about it, the warmer his heart felt, and Jia He quickened his pace and trotted into the house.As soon as she entered the door, she was dazzled by the room full of pearls and greenery. She simply walked towards Jia Mu without looking at anyone.First, he smiled at Lin Daiyu, who was sitting next to her, and then said to Jia's mother, "My granddaughter has seen our ancestors. May our ancestors be safe."

Today, Jia Mu is wearing a purple coat with gold cloud patterns all over, a gold border with maroon chrysanthemums to wipe her forehead, and a red gold and jade hairpin inlaid with bats.She was talking to her granddaughter, but after hearing this raw greeting, she raised her eyes and looked at Jia He with some surprise.

Although the little man in front of him is thin and frail, he is also cute and cute. His skin is very fair, and it is even more radiant when reflected in the sunlight that shines into the room.The big, watery eyes were a bit silly before, but now they were shining with obvious joy.

Mother Jia didn't expect that yesterday she looked at the timid and stupid child, but today he looked a bit clever. She couldn't help but wonder: "Fifth girl, come and show grandma. Why are you so good today?"
