I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 7 Time
The night is getting darker, and the winter evening is very cold.

After letting her daughter go, Mrs.

"Oh, please slow down, don't fall." Mrs. Xing quickly put down the account book. Seeing that she was far away, she waved to the maid standing by the door to help her: "Why are you back again? But What was left behind?”

Jia He twisted his little body and rushed into the house, panting heavily, secretly thinking that he really needed to practice his physical fitness, and said: "Mother, where did the pots of flower branches under your window outside your house come from?"

The question was asked abruptly.But Mrs. Xing was overjoyed to see her daughter talking and moving so fluently. She was particularly patient when she answered: "I got it from your second sister-in-law Lian. She said it wasn't the flowering season yet, so she would give it to me after the spring when there are buds. But I I thought it would be better to keep them before they bloomed, so I asked for them directly."

Because there were only flower branches without flowers or leaves, the smell on them spread out, allowing Jia He to smell it.If this was the case, then Wang Xifeng's house should also have this smell. It was so light that she didn't notice it.

It was a pity that she had not released the Medicine Gu King when she went to Wang Xifeng's place before. Therefore, this smell did not exist in the Medicine Gu King's "memory", so she naturally could not recognize it on the corpse.

Jia He had long felt that there must be a master behind the two maids and daughters-in-law.With this relationship, I have to make another trip there tomorrow.He said: "Mom, I want to go find Sister Lin and the others to be naughty tomorrow. Can I do it?"

Mrs. Xing didn't want to spend more time with him.But her daughter liked it, so she thought about it carefully and finally nodded.

Jia He was naturally happy to be able to see Lin Daiyu and find clues about the body, and couldn't help but smile happily.

Mrs. Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt that she was right to agree to the child - she did not have a biological child, so naturally she had no experience in interacting with children, so she could only make a decision carefully.

It was Wang Shanbao's family who told her that to coax a child, you need to follow the child's temper. She tried it tonight and it worked.

After Jia He left, Mrs. Xing saw that Yingchun was still standing there like a piece of wood, walking away like a piece of wood, either staying or not. She was secretly annoyed that this concubine had no eyesight and didn't know how to sneak away, leaving the mother and daughter alone to talk, so she said in a bad tone: " You go ahead. By the way, call Wang Shanbao's family here for me. I have something to ask her."

Yingchun didn't know why she was displeased and could only nod in agreement.

When Yingchun came out of the house, she happened to see the fifth sister talking to the maids.Although he was still a little baby, he held his hands behind his back like a grown-up, acting like a master.Although he is a bit silly, he is more stylish than her.

Yingchun couldn't help but smile, walked over and asked, "What is my sister doing? Where is Mother Guo?"

When she said it, she saw Chun Zhi glance at her quickly and felt a little regretful.From now on, the fifth sister will be the mother's biological daughter, so she is not comparable to her.Her mother had never been kind to her, so how could she, an "outsider", get to ask what the fifth sister wanted to do.

The bias has been spoken.

It's neither staying nor leaving to welcome the spring. I can only lower my head and twist the handkerchief.Just then I heard Xia Ye say: "That Huoxiang is exactly what my wife is waiting for. What is the purpose of the fifth girl asking?"

"Mother Guo went to my room to make the bed first." Jia He answered the Spring Festival greetings first, and then said to the maid: "I am not in good health. I heard people talking about various medicinal materials in Rongguo Mansion today, and I heard someone mentioned 'Huo Xiang'. 'One day, a woman said that there was a maid with this name beside my mother, and she wanted to ask about her."

When Xia Ye was about to say something, Chun Zhi tugged on her sleeves and nuzzled towards Ying Chun to signal that the second girl was here and not to talk nonsense.

Then Xia Ye shut up and took Jia Yue to go back to the house.Unexpectedly, Jia He, who was light and small, suddenly jumped to the side and hid. He walked around behind Yingchun, grabbed the back of Yingchun's clothes and said with a smile: "I want to follow the second sister. I want to follow the second sister."

The two maids naturally refused and tried to persuade her to go back to the house first.Jia He hid behind Yingchun and dodged around to prevent them from catching her.After a while, the two maids sweated on their foreheads.

When Wang Shanbao's family heard the commotion, they opened the curtains and stood at the door and shouted: "Why is it so noisy? It disturbs my wife's rest." Seeing that Jia He was there, she couldn't help but be stunned: "The fifth girl hasn't gone back yet."

"I want to sit in the second sister's room for a while. The second sister has no objection, but Chunzhixiaye refuses to listen to me." Jia He showed a pitiful and sad face: "Mother Wang, I wonder if I can go to the second sister's house?"

The cold eyes of Wang Shanbao's family swept towards the maids.

Chunzhi was secretly shocked, knowing that the Wang Shanbao family was extremely valued by Madam, and it would be troublesome if she had prejudice against them. She hurriedly said: "The girl heard wrong, Xia Ye and I discussed helping Guo's mother. "He forcefully turned Xia Ye aside.

Xia Ye complained softly.Haruzhi explained a few things and then said, "I don't know if the girl deliberately recruited Wang Shanbao's family."

"How is it possible?" Xia Ye categorically denied: "She is stupid, how can she have such a heart."

Harue thought about it and stopped talking.

Jia He followed Yingchun obediently, looking back at Wang Shanbao's family at the door from time to time, showing a timid look.

Halfway through, Yingchun thought of what her sister had done just now, and thought that her sister was a simple and kind-hearted person who was kind to her, so she half-covered her mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "Do you want to know about Huoxiang?"

"Exactly." Jia He said hurriedly: "Sister, have you ever heard of her?"

Yingchun saw that there was no one else around, and her younger sister was talking in a low voice, so she smiled and said: "Not only have I heard of her, I also see her often. But she seems to have gone home for a visit recently and is not here. If you want to see her, I’m afraid I have to wait for her to come back.”

"Who was it that she went home to visit? Did she tell her personally to her wife?"

Yingchun thought for a long time: "That's not the case. I remember going to Rongguo Mansion to play with my sisters a few days ago. When my clothes got wet, I went to the inner room to dry them. I heard Ping'er and Lian's second sister-in-law say through the curtain, Lian's second brother and Lian's second sister-in-law said The eldest lady said that Huo Xiang wanted to go home and something was urgent, so she dragged him and the eldest lady to report it."

It's Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian again!Jia He paused slightly: "Second sister, do you still remember what day it happened?"

"Only the day before yesterday or the day before yesterday, no more than those two days." Yingchun said: "Because Sister Lin is coming to the house soon, my grandmother often invited us to have meals together in the past two days, and then prepared various things to welcome Sister Lin. There were people coming and going, and then a little maid accidentally spilled mouthwash on my skirt and made it wet."

The time is right.Jia He thought to himself.I just don't know whether Huoxiang died before or after Jia Lian reported it to Mrs. Xing.If it was before, then Jia Lian would be extremely suspicious.If it happens later... it is not impossible for Wang Xifeng.
