Chapter 751 Finding Jade [Part 1]
In Yihong Courtyard, Jia Baoyu sullenly walked back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back. Suddenly he stopped and said sternly: "What a shameless thing, I didn't want to wear it for a long time. Now it's just a good idea to throw it away. You deserve it."
Are you sending people to tell your wife in such a hurry?!" He managed to escape this disaster easily by relying on Jiao Shun. Now if he reports about the missing jade, wouldn't he be waiting for the consequences?
The attacker just sent She Yue to report without even asking. So the more he thought about it, the more guilty he became, and the more guilty he became, the angrier he became.
But Xiren turned a deaf ear to Baoyu's complaints and continued to lead him to rummage inside and out.
Naturally, she had her own reasons for beheading first and reporting later. Baoyu had not been at home in recent days, and only had Li Gui and a group of servants with him. Now the responsibility for reporting the crime was outside. If it were later, she and others would be implicated.
In the past, Xiren would have been willing to explain a few words to him, but this time what Baoyu did at the Xue family had already made her feel physically and mentally exhausted, and she was not in the mood to coax Baoyu at least for a short time.
When Baoyu saw that Xiren refused to pay attention to him, he became even more irritable. He turned around a few times with his hands behind his back again, stopped and was about to have an attack, when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from outside.
He was excited in his heart and guessed that Mrs. Wang had probably arrived after hearing the news. She stamped her feet anxiously and said, "What should we do? What should we do?" The attacker silently arrived at the door, opened the door curtain and opened the door.
Mrs. Wang who rushed over and Jiao Shun welcomed her in.
Mrs. Wang was already ill, and she was walking in a hurry on the way. As soon as she entered the door, she coughed and was out of breath. When Jia Baoyu saw this, he was about to hand her the tea, but she was met by Mrs. Wang's eyes that said she was unable to make steel.
He was so frightened that he stood there unable to move forward or retreat.
Seeing this, Jiao Shun reached out to take it and handed it to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang hurriedly took it with both hands and drank it all in one gulp. She also used a handkerchief to wipe away the wet marks on her mouth, and then asked sharply: "Niezhang, where did you throw the thing?"
?When did you lose it?!"
"This..." Baoyu lowered his head slowly, then glanced at Jiao Shun secretly, hoping that Jiao Shun could help smooth things over.
Jiao Shun was always worried about such a favor and wasted money, so he immediately said: "Why don't you call those who have been with him these days and ask them if they have paid attention to it." When Mrs. Wang heard this, she made sense.
He immediately looked at the attacker.
Xiren said hurriedly: "Madam, when I came back from Xue's house, the jade was still hanging on the second master's neck. It was probably when I went out again later..." Mrs. Wang interrupted her, indiscriminately.
scolded: "Why don't you take care of such an important thing carefully when you are out?!"
"Mrs. Mingjian!" Xiren hurriedly turned over and knelt down: "The second master left in such a hurry when he went out that none of us could follow him. If he had gone, we would never have discovered it until now!" Mrs. Wang then said
She knew she had wrongly blamed Xiren, but she was not in the mood to comfort her at the moment, so she immediately asked again and again who was following Baoyu.
Xiren felt the same as Mingjing, but he was unwilling to offend Li Gui and Nanny Li openly, so he pretended to be embarrassed and looked at Jia Baoyu.
At this time, Jia Baoyu realized belatedly that anyone involved in this matter would definitely be punished, so he frowned and said, "I lost the thing, and I don't do other people's business!" It was rare for him to have such a thing.
I tried it once, but it had no effect.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mrs. Wang immediately called Zhou Rui and ordered him to tie up all the people who had been with Baoyu in the past few days and bring them for questioning.
Not long after, Li Gui and a group of servants arrived. Also arriving at the same time were Tan Chun, Li Wan, Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan - not to mention the first two, the latter two were just here to watch the joke.
Li Wan helped Mrs. Wang sit down, while Tan Chun took over the task of questioning. However, it was obvious that Li Gui and others did not notice that Mr. Bao's jade was missing at all - men are not as good as women in this matter.
Be careful, Baoyu has been in a bad mood these days, he's like a powder keg, who dares to get close to him?
So everyone was dumbfounded and asked questions. Mrs. Wang was so angry that she slapped the table and coughed, and ordered them all to be dragged down and beaten.
Seeing that she was so angry, no one else dared to say anything. Only Jiao Shun, who had some friendship with Li Gui in his early years, couldn't bear to see him suffer such an unreasonable disaster, so he raised his hand to stop her and said, "Don't rush to fight now. Brother Bao has been here for the past few days."
They are the ones who know best where they have been. It is better to let them atone for their sins first. If they really can’t find them, they will be punished later.” After a pause, he added: “It doesn’t matter if they were lost at my place.
Because Brother Bao was in the courtyard for a few days, I could count the people who came in and out on one hand, so I turned around and asked people to interrogate them one by one." After hearing what he said, Mrs. Wang reluctantly spared Li Gui and others, and ordered them to go first.
Go and search the carriage. If you can't find it, prepare the carriage and wait.
When Li Gui and the others left with a lot of thanks, the room fell into silence for a while. Baoyu was too happy to say anything at first, but after waiting for a while, no one spoke, so he couldn't help but look at this and then look at it.
That one, he looked like he was baffled and confused.
Seeing this, Li Wan shook his head and sighed: "It would be okay if it ends up in Changqing's house, but I'm afraid it ends up in Xue's house. At this point, it's not appropriate to ask, and it's even more inappropriate not to ask." Baoyu suddenly understood.
, thinking about the ridiculous things he did that night and the ridicule and teasing towards Xue Baochai from outside, how could he have the nerve to come to ask for some psychic gem?
He simply scratched his head and said: "I told you not to look for it, but I've already smashed it!"
"Brother said it was smashed, where are the fragments now?" Tan Chun immediately asked: "Is it possible that the stone can still be turned into fly ash?!"
"This..." Baoyu hesitated for a moment, then immediately changed his words: "That was lost on the street!" How could anyone be in the mood to listen to his nonsense?
Mrs. Wang immediately stood up while supporting the table and said, "Come on, let me take a walk." As she said this, she couldn't help but cough.
When Tanchun saw this, he took the initiative to stand up and said: "My wife's illness is not cured yet, so I'd better give it another try - as juniors, we still have room for change even if we say the wrong thing."
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel happy when she saw that the third girl had come forward again. She took her hand and said, "Compared to your worthless brother, you are more like someone who crawled out of my intestines." Without further ado,
Tanchun immediately ordered all the people and horses to set off - including Xiren Sheyue. After all, they were most familiar with Baoyu's behavioral patterns and were better at finding Baoyu than others.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left Yihongyuan, he heard someone shouting repeatedly from behind. Hearing the voice of Aunt Zhao, Tanchun sighed helplessly, waved his hand to indicate to the attacker to lead the troops to the front yard first, and stopped to wait for Zhao.
My aunt came here.
"Are you stupid, girl?!" Aunt Zhao put her hands on her hips and accused her as soon as she came up: "What does it have to do with you if he throws away his jade? He rushes to hold his wife's smelly feet. Is it because of the supercilious looks from outside?
Is it that good-looking?!" When Tanchun came forward, she winked at the side and tried to stop her. Later, she heard Mrs. Wang say that Tanchun seemed to have crawled out of her own intestines, so she even shocked Aunt Zhao.
Very angry.
To follow her wishes, I wish Mrs. Wang had to run around sick and die of exhaustion outside!
"Auntie, be careful." Tanchun glared at Aunt Zhao and said with a straight face: "That thing is always auspicious, no matter how effective it is, you have to find it first to feel at ease."
"You..." Aunt Zhao was about to argue again, but was suddenly interrupted by a dry cough from behind. She turned around without hesitation, only to see Jiao Shun walking over slowly.
"Young~!" Aunt Zhao immediately performed a Sichuan opera face change, and said with a coquettish and charming smile: "Why is the uncle coming out too?" If it weren't for the fact that there was no obstruction here, she would have liked to press her whole body against it.
Jiao Shun really hadn't tasted this for a while. Thinking that she would be half of his mother-in-law in the future, he felt a little ready to make a move. Unfortunately, the place and time were not suitable at the moment, so Jiao Shun could only restrain his desire and took out the food.
A red agate bracelet was handed to her without leaving any trace when she passed by. He said with a smile: "I am about to go back to Zijin Street with my third sister." After saying that, Tanchun, who was as heavy as water, said to her, "First of all.
I'll look for it at home, and if I can find it, it will save my sister from trouble." Tanchun's face softened slightly, and when he was about to thank Jiao Shun, Aunt Zhao held the bracelet in her hands and said with an ear-to-ear smile: "Hey, young,
How can this happen?" As she spoke, the bracelet had already been put on her wrist. She was shaking her wrist in self-congratulation, and couldn't help but introduce herself: "How about I come with you? With so many people, you can always...
"
"Auntie doesn't need to worry about this!" Tan Chun knew that she was tickled both physically and mentally by Jiao Shun. If she really followed Jiao Shun, she might do something shameless, so he didn't wait for her.
After saying that, he flatly refused.
"You damn girl, you are like a dog biting Lu Dongbin and you don't know a good heart!" Aunt Zhao stamped her feet angrily, but when her eyes turned to Jiao Shun, she was so charming that she almost shed tears. She pinched the orchid and said in a waxy voice: "This girl has been around since she was a child.
It doesn't make people worry. If she gets married later and still doesn't know what's going on, the uncle can just tell me and I will teach her a lesson together with the second master." With that tone and expression, when a man listens to it, a picture will inevitably appear in his mind.
Triple bed.
Jiao Shun was originally in no rush to marry Tanchun, but now that he had accepted Aunt Zhao's hint, he felt more urgent.
However, in broad daylight, he did not dare to have any more sex with Aunt Zhao. He just sighed and left the Rongguo Mansion together with the ashen-faced Tanchun.
In fact, it was appropriate to ask Baoyu to do this, so that he could always recall what he had done and where he had been in the past few days - but as soon as he heard that he was going to Xue's house to look for jade, he wished he could tie himself up in the room.
If he can't get off the beam, unless he is tied up with five flowers, how easy is it to persuade him to go with him?
But he said that although the two set off together, after all, men and women had different relationships, so they took separate carriages.
There was no words all the way. After arriving at Zijin Street, as agreed upon, they went to the Jiao Mansion without disturbing the Xue family. Xi Ren and She Yue were responsible for leading the team to dig three feet into the guest courtyard, while Jiao Shun led the way.
I went to see Xiangyun in Tanchun Shishu.
Xiangyun was playing chess with Xing Xiuyan. Leng Buding heard that his master had brought Tanchun back, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Why is the third sister here? Is she the only one, or is she?"
"Xi Ren and She Yue also came." Siqi reported, "But as soon as they arrived, they went directly to the guest house, as if they were looking for something."
"Went to the guest house to look for something?" Shi Xiangyun became more and more puzzled. Could it be that Brother Bao left his luggage?
But this does not need to run alone, unless it is ... when I see Tanchun, she cracked a sentence: "Is it the second brother of Bao Er?"
"What?!" Jia Tanchun couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Did you see it?!" She thought that if Shi Xiangyun saw it, she would not have to go to Xue's house to suffer.
Unfortunately, Xiangyun shook his head and said: "I guess, apart from the lifeblood, what else is worthy of such a mobilization of troops?" Tan Chun was immediately discouraged when he heard this. He told the cause and effect bitterly, and sighed: "If it is just
This is a matter of one object, but after all, it is auspicious, and there is the word "Mo Lai Mo Mo" on it. I always find it to find it. "
If she is old enough, she can't help but not be serious.
After hearing this, Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but think too much, thinking that the jade was engraved with the words "Don't lose, don't forget, immortal longevity and prosperity". He originally thought that if he lost it, it would belong to Brother Bao, but now the old lady just
When he was terminally ill, the jade was lost. Could it be that it belonged to the old lady?
Or... was it the old lady who blocked this disaster for him? The two of them were talking here. Outside, Jiao Shun had already arranged for all the people who had been in and out of the guest house in recent days to be questioned one by one.
Yue Ze led people to dig three feet into the ground in the guest courtyard.
But obviously, the things were not left here, so after working for more than an hour, I still got nothing.
During this period, Li Gui also led people to search many places on the street. Everywhere Baoyu had visited, he not only searched everywhere, but also offered huge sums of money to induce him, but he also found nothing.
Looking at the sky, Tanchun knew that he could delay no longer, so he reluctantly said goodbye to Shi Xiangyun and went to Qian Street to see Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue was complaining to Mrs. Xue Er because of Concubine Xian De's use of power to suppress others. Suddenly she heard that Tan Chun had left and returned. She couldn't help being annoyed and cursed: "Even if we don't care about the love between husband and wife, the two families will always be together."
How can a close relative urge you so repeatedly?!" After saying that, he was ready to answer Tanchun.
Seeing this, Baoqin hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Auntie, calm down. Since sister has already made a decision, it's best not to cause any complications." After a pause, he added, "But there's no need for us to be anxious. Let's wait until the end of the month to reply.
Not too late." Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly.
When she saw Tanchun in the living room, she calmed down and prepared to wait for Tanchun to urge her, and then add a few perfunctory words, but Tanchun hesitated for a long time and failed to say one, two, or three.
Aunt Xue was half impatient and half puzzled: "You girl has always been a happy person, but why are you acting like a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law today? If you don't say anything, I will have to serve tea to see the guests off!" Tanchun had no choice but to say awkwardly:
Chapter completed!
