The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 74
Because Jia Min ordered the construction of new houses to be suspended, Jiaoli was relatively free during this period.

Just the day before yesterday, he delivered wine to grandpa.His grandfather Jiao Er has passed away, so Jiao Da is the only senior elder in the family.

His great grandfather is Jiao Da, a celebrity in Jia's mansion.Senior qualifications, he once saved Ning Guogong's life on the battlefield, and carried him out of the dead.

There are two biggest features of Jiaoda.One is good wine, and the other is good at cursing.These two characteristics are often combined into one.When drinking too much, even the master dared to scold, and pointed at the most private place.

Jiao Da is naturally clear about what happened in the mansion recently.The father and son drank a lot together and talked a lot.Among them, the most talked about is about Jia Min.

Then, they talked about Zhao Lianju, the former housekeeper of Ningguo Mansion.

Zhao Lianju, Jiao Li still has some impressions, he is a very stubborn old man.When Jia Jing was still in charge of the Ningguo Mansion, he was a veteran housekeeper and was very trusted by Jia Jing.

However, there were rumors at the time that he and Jia Zhen were at odds.

Five years ago, Zhao Lianju suddenly fell ill and died of a sudden illness. Afterwards, Jia Jing devoted himself to practicing Taoism and never cared about common things anymore.At this point, Jia Zhen took over the Ningguo Mansion.

The relationship between Zhao Lianju and Jiao Da is very good. When he was alive, he often took care of Jiao Da.Therefore, Jiao Da revealed a shocking inside story to Jiao Li: Zhao Lianju was poisoned to death.

Because Zhao Lianju expected that something might happen to him one day in the future, he handed over two things to Jiao Da for storage.

One is an account book, and the other is a letter to the old lady.

Originally, Jiao Li wasn't going to hand over these two things, but today, Jia Min didn't let people like him and Ping'er get involved in his dispute with Jia's mansion, which made Jiao Li make up his mind.

Jiao Li knew that the fourth master didn't want to embarrass them, and he also understood that the reason why the mansion wanted to punish the fourth master this time was because of the dividends for them.

Although the fourth master didn't let them do anything, if they didn't do anything, Jiao Li felt that he was not a human being, and he would never be able to hold his head up again when he saw the fourth master in the future.

Although he didn't know if the ledger and letter could help fourth master, he still felt that he should give it to fourth master.

What's the use in case it's useless? If it's useless, why did the grandfather give it to himself at this time?

Now, Jia Min had read the letter several times, and seeing that Jiaoli was still standing, he waved to him.

"Stop standing, sit down and make tea yourself."

Then continue to look at which ledger.From this point of view, it was nearly an hour.Then he looked up.

"Go back first, don't tell anyone that you have seen these two things. Otherwise, they will try to kill you."

Gioli nodded solemnly and went out.As soon as he went out, he turned back.

"Miss Ping'er and I have counted together. We haven't moved the money that Si Ye gave us. If Si Ye loses this time, the money will be returned to Si Ye. Although it is not much, it can always save the emergency of."

Jia Min was a little moved in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm.

"Go and tell Ping'er that I'll be fine. You guys should keep the money. If you really need it, I'll ask you for it."

As soon as Jiao Li left, he saw Shou'er outside the window, looking inside.

Seeing Jiao Li walking away, he entered Jia Min's study without knocking on the door and knelt on the ground.

"Shou'er greets fourth master, and I have a few words to tell fourth master."

Ok?This is a bit strange.Jia Rong's servant, who came with Jia Lian, what does he have to say to me?
"There are some things that the fourth master may not know. Although the slave is following Uncle Rong now, but in the past, he followed Grandma Rong to the mansion. Grandma Rong has a saying that the slave should bring it to the fourth master."

Can you?

"Grandma Rong said that she bet 2000 taels of silver at the Liansheng Gambling Shop, and she bought it for the fourth master to win. At the beginning, she asked the servant to buy it secretly. With these words, the servant left."

After Shou'er finished speaking, he went out without waiting for Jia Min to speak.

Jia Min's heart immediately felt extremely warm.

Almost without thinking, he believed that Shou'er's words were true.

Shou'er first said that he came here as a dowry with Qin Keqing, just to tell Jia Min that he is actually Qin Keqing's, not Jia Rong's.

Qin Keqing chose to tell Jia Min about this at this time, which showed that secretly, she believed in and supported Jia Min.

In a situation where almost everyone thought he would lose, Qin Keqing still dared to bet on herself, not to mention whether her judgment of the situation was accurate, just this kindness is enough to move people.

This is Qin Keqing expressing his attitude to him: I am of one heart with you.

Ping'er had originally borrowed it from Wang Xifeng, if Jia Min's downfall this time, it would not have any impact on Ping'er, he just returned to Wang Xifeng's side.

The 200 taels allocated to her last time was not a large amount to Jia Min, but it was a huge sum of money to Ping'er and Jiao Li.

Ping'er was able to take the initiative to ask Jiao Li for research. When Jia Min fell from power, she returned the money to him, which also shows her kindness.

Qin Keqing, Ping'er, Jiao Li, these people moved him.

Even Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan understood Jia Min's current situation.Although he was also very anxious, he still communicated with Jia Min normally, at least showing an attitude of never leaving.

These people also moved him.

After dinner at noon, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan came together. Now that their business has been suspended, they have settled down in Yedu.

This gesture at least shows that they stand with Jia Min in this crisis.

Tieshan Temple, Miaoyu's quiet room.

Miaoyu and Qin Keqing sat opposite each other, drinking slowly, the room was filled with the fragrance of tea.

Miaoyu is used to Qin Keqing always coming here.Although she didn't know what Qin Keqing always came to ask for and what he wished for, it was not easy to ask.

While talking, the topic naturally fell on the recent affairs in the mansion.

"I heard that the old lady was very happy and asked everyone in the house to place bets. It can be seen that this time, Fourth Master Min is going to have a hard time."

Miaoyu looked a little worried.

Ever since she bet the 1000 taels at Liansheng Casino last time, Miaoyu has become uneasy.

Although he felt sorry for Yinzi, but more importantly, he was afraid of disappointing Fourth Master Min's heart.

Fourth Master Min gave her silver, not for her to bet.If you lose, there is no way to explain it to Fourth Master Min.

Miaoyu wanted to get some news from Qin Keqing, but Qin Keqing just smiled slightly and didn't answer directly.

"I heard that Second Master Bao made a wish. If he loses, he will bear all the money of the people in the house. Tell me, who will win?"

Miaoyu naturally hoped that Jia Min would win, but under the current situation, it was not at all possible for Jia Min to win.

In fact, she already thought that Jia Min had lost, but she still hoped that someone could tell her that Jia Min could win. This would make her feel much better.It can also prove that I was not so stupid when I bought Jia Minying before.

"In my opinion, it's not necessarily true. Fourth Uncle Min is naturally not a fool. He would still bet with someone when he knew he would lose? It's unbelievable."

What Qin Keqing said, including buying Jia Min to win before, is actually more of a kind of intuition and trust in Jia Min.

If she was really asked to show evidence that Jia Min could win, she couldn't.In fact, she also very much hopes that there will be someone who can make the same choice as her.That proves that there are others who are as optimistic about Fourth Uncle Min as she is.

There are others who are optimistic about Fourth Uncle Min, which proves that her choice is justified.

"Although this is true in theory, it is really worrying to see the uproar in the mansion. Grandma Rong also bought Second Master Bao to win?"

Unknowingly, Miaoyu revealed her feelings.

"The old lady has something to say. Everyone in the house bought it. If I didn't buy it, wouldn't it be weird? Seeing that Ms. Miaoyu is so anxious, could it be that she bought Fourth Uncle Min to win?"

This Miaoyu girl is an outsider, so she is so concerned about this matter, she must have participated in it.Now everyone in the house is happy, but she looks worried. Could it be that she is also like me, buying Fourth Uncle Min to win?

"Oh, don't mention it, you just bought Fourth Uncle Min to win. Now it's too late to regret it."

Miaoyu's psychological quality is really speechless.Qin Keqing used a little trick to get the truth out.

"It's not necessarily a loss, does Uncle Min know?"

"How dare you tell him. I'm afraid he will be more anxious after hearing it."

"I don't think so. Maybe he will be happy when he hears it."

"Happy?"

"At this time, Fourth Uncle Min is just lonely. If he knows that someone values ​​him so much, he will definitely write down this favor. He is a capable person, and he will be rewarded in the future. In my opinion, it is better to ask someone to go Tell Fourth Uncle Min, not only to make him happy, but also to make him remember your kindness."

Although Miaoyu is not as thoughtful as Qin Keqing, she is also a smart person.After thinking about it for a while, I felt that what Qin Keqing said made sense.

Telling Jia Min at this time not only shows that he and he are of one heart, but also has an explanation for the whereabouts of the money.

After all, he bought Jia Min to win, even if he lost in the end, he can explain the past to Jia Min.Big deal, Jia Min loses, and selling the painting he sent can also help Jia Min for a while.

So, I sent my mother-in-law to explain what to say, and went to Yeduju to report to Jia Min.

Miaoyu has been brooding over this matter in her heart, and now that she has disclosed this secret in front of Qin Keqing, she immediately feels a lot easier in her heart.

Thinking that Jia Min would be very happy if he knew that he won by buying him, he felt a little proud.When it comes to talking, he often talks about Jia Min, and doesn't care whether Qin Keqing is suspicious or not.

Although Miaoyu is somewhat aloof, she is somewhat scheming.However, most of them are pretended.In many cases, it is very similar to Daiyu, lacking the heart to guard against others.

Qin Keqing's thoughts are the most meticulous.Seeing Miaoyu's behavior like this, she immediately became vigilant.

Look at Miss Miaoyu, she really cares about Fourth Uncle Min.Could it be that he is interested in Fourth Uncle Min?If I had known this, I wouldn't have encouraged her to report to Fourth Uncle Min.In that case, wouldn't Fourth Uncle Min only remember my affection?

Qin Keqing thought so, and looked at Miaoyu's every move, she became a little critical, thinking that Miaoyu was not good enough for Fourth Uncle Min.

I was a little jealous.
