I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 45 Coping
Jia He and Lin Daiyu, accompanied by Ruizhu, walked around the outer courtyard for a while.

On the way, they saw a drunk man staggering and cursing, and they hurriedly ran away.After he was far away, he continued to walk.

Under Ruizhu's guidance, the two of them quietly looked at the newly arrived servants in the outer courtyard, and then returned to the inner house to look at the new maids and wives, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

"But it's impossible for thieves to put the words 'I am a bad guy' on their faces. They are likely to cover themselves up to look like good people, but this alone is of little use." After Jia He said this, he asked Ruizhu : "Do you still have the remaining money after it was stolen?"

Ruizhu said: "Yes, yes. After Xiangzhu was tied up, grandma asked someone to put the tray away, and she didn't take any money from there after that. But, what's the use even if it's still there?"

Lin Daiyu understood Jia He's thoughts and said: "When a mortal commits a crime, there must be some clues left behind. Since you can't see anything else for the time being, it might as well take a look at the remaining silver."

Ruizhu took the two of them to the room where the money was collected.

Originally, the money from the public house should be kept in the accounting room in the outer courtyard. At that time, in order to "find out the criminals", the tray was placed in the inner chamber.When Qin Keqing asked someone to put it away, he put it in her courtyard.

The courtyard is busy drying clothes, and brightly colored clothes are placed on the racks. Just looking at them makes you feel breathtakingly beautiful.

Lin Daiyu turned her head and whispered: "Grandma Rong is really good at choosing clothes. She is much prettier than Sister-in-law Lian. Moreover, the waist of her dress is very thin and she is quite fit."

Jia He said smoothly: "I think Second Sister-in-law Lian's dignity is better."

Lin Daiyu believed it: "That's natural."

The three of them walked inside for a while. Ruizhu saw Baozhu also there and asked hurriedly: "Grandma is back?"

"Yes." Baozhu came over and saluted Dai and Luo, and said: "Grandma just met a rogue, and it was thanks to the help of Second Grandma Lian to get out of trouble. Unfortunately, the hem of her skirt was dirty after being pulled a few times by the rogue. Now that she is back, Change it."

While talking, Qin Keqing walked out of the room.

She is now wearing a pink plum-flower pattern double-breasted gown, paired with a pine-colored sheer gauze skirt with entwined branches and lotus patterns, and a silk-encrusted red gold cloud pattern on her head. She is unparalleled in beauty and beauty.

If we talk about the one with the best appearance, it is undoubtedly Jia He.

But Jia He is still a little girl, no matter how stunningly beautiful she is, she is still soft and waxy. Even though she has the charm of flowing and ethereal hair, it cannot be compared with words such as beauty.

So looking at it like this, Qin Keqing was very eye-catching at this time.

Several people were talking, and a man's laughter came from far away.

Lin Daiyu pulled Jia He and subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the people walking outside were walking too fast. Before the two of them had time to go far, they had already entered the courtyard.

The two girls breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the person in front of them - it was Jia Rong.

Jia Zhenjia Rong has a good relationship with the Feng family.A few days ago, Jia Heo helped the General's Mansion a lot. Although the General's Mansion didn't say it clearly, Jia Rong knew it well.

Seeing Jia He here, Jia Rong quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Rong'er has met the fifth aunt."

Jia Rong was accompanied by a handsome young man. When he saw Jia Rong saluting Jia He, he followed suit and said, "I have met the fifth aunt."

Jia He asked curiously: "Who are you? Are you also our nephew?"

The man smiled and replied, "I am your nephew Qiang'er."

There are many nephews in the Jia family, but Jia Yue only nodded slightly when he heard this and didn't care.

Instead, Qin Keqing's eyes glanced at Jia Qiang's handsome features.Jia He remembered that the Jia family had the custom of giving greeting gifts to the younger generation. Normally, Guo's mother or Chun Zhi would be with her to take care of these things. This time, in order to "investigate the case", she did not take them with her, but had to watch by herself. Done.

Fortunately, she has many silver pins on her body, either given by Jia Mu or Mrs.

Jia He took out a few and gave them to Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang laughed out loud at her behavior as a young adult. She cupped her hands and said, "My nephew thanks my fifth aunt."

Jia He nodded slightly with a serious face.

Lin Daiyu chuckled and looked at her playfully.

Qin Keqing glanced at Jia Qiang again.

Jia Rong said, "Brother Qiang and I are going to have tea and enjoy the flowers in the garden. Do you want Fifth Aunt to come with us?" He knew that Lin Daiyu had an unreasonable temper and would not ask for trouble, so he only asked Jia He. mean.

Jia He knew that Lin Daiyu was thinking about the Yinzi case, so he said: "The Yinzi matter here has not been decided yet. I have to investigate it carefully. I can't just play around for the time being. Grandma Gangrong said that she has returned the remaining silver to Zhenzi." Big brother, it's not convenient for me to go back and forth. If Brother Ruorong is willing to help, it would be great if you can be accommodating and let someone give you some convenience."

Jia Qiang's smile deepened when she heard this: "Fifth aunt still has such abilities."

Jia Rong, however, took Jia He's words very seriously. She tilted her head and said to Jia Qiang: "Fifth Aunt is blessed with her own blessings. Even General Feng and the others are very polite to Fifth Aunt because of this. You must not be so disrespectful."

Jia Jing, the master of Ningguo Mansion, was obsessed with the art of alchemy, and the juniors in the manor were more or less exposed to such teachings.

Hearing Jia Rong's words, Jia Qiang put away her playful thoughts, responded and said nothing more, and glanced at the light and charming clothes drying in the yard with her idle eyes.

Jia Rong said to Jia He: "Since my aunt has spoken, my nephew will definitely agree. If I don't let the boy next to me follow my aunt, everyone in the house will recognize him. With him here, he can go wherever he wants." The yard doesn’t matter.”

After that, Jia Rong called his personal servant named Huang Mu to accompany the two girls around.He and Jia Qiang went to Huayuanzi.

The two of them are older and naturally walk faster.

Before he left the yard, Jia He saw that Jia Qiang seemed to have dropped a jade sign on the ground. It was engraved with the pattern of five bats and had a moist texture all over.

However, Jia Qiang clearly lowered her head and glanced at the jade plaque, but pretended not to see it and continued walking forward.

Jia He withdrew his gaze and pretended not to see it.

Lin Daiyu also caught a glimpse of that scene.Firstly, she and Jia He were behind and could easily be seen, and secondly, they were younger and shorter, so they could see more clearly.

But she had always been impatient to deal with those stinky men. When she saw this, she whispered: "This man is really rich and powerful." She didn't pick up the jade token when it fell.

The tone was full of sarcasm.

Jia He twitched the corners of his lips and muttered as he continued to move forward: "If he didn't pick it up, he might have picked it up for someone else."

Lin Daiyu asked curiously: "Did you stay here specifically to reward the servants? Why don't you reward me face to face?" After saying that, she turned back to look, only to find that the jade plaque was indeed missing.

Looking around, Qin Keqing and the busy maids and ladies were the only ones in the yard.I don’t know which one picked it up.
