The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 750 Searching for Jade [Part [-]]

Inside Yihong courtyard.

With a sullen face and hands behind his back, Jia Baoyu walked back and forth in the living room for a few laps, then suddenly stopped, and said wryly, "What kind of thing is it? Send someone to tell the wife?!"

He managed to escape this catastrophe by relying on Jiao Shun. Now that he reported the matter of losing jade, wouldn't he be waiting to find something later?

Pian Xiren didn't ask any questions just now, so he sent Musk Moon to report, 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 still led the people to rummage inside and out.

She had her own reasons for beheading first and playing later. Baoyu has not been at home for the past few days, and only brought Li Gui and a group of servants with her. Now the responsibility for reporting to the police is outside. If it is later, she and others will be implicated.

In the past, Xiren would be willing to explain a few words to him, but this time Baoyu's actions in Xue's house have already made her feel physically and mentally exhausted, at least for a short time, she is not in the mood to coax Baoyu.

Seeing that the attacker refused to pay attention to her, Baoyu became more and more irritable, and turned around a few times with her hands behind her back, stopped and was about to explode, when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching outside.

He was excited in his heart, guessing that Mrs. Wang probably arrived after hearing the news, stomped her feet anxiously and said: "What should I do, what should I do?!"

Xiren silently came to the door, opened the curtain to welcome Mrs. Wang and Jiao Shun who had rushed over in such a hurry.

Mrs. Wang was already ill, and she was in a hurry on the road, and she coughed and was out of breath as soon as she entered the door.

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu was about to hand her the tea, but was frightened by Mrs. Wang's eyes that hated iron for steel, and stood there unable to advance 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, then wiped off the wet marks on her mouth with a handkerchief, and then asked sharply, "Nie Zhan, where did you lose it? When did you lose it?!"

"This……"

Baoyu lowered his head in a low voice, then peeked at Jiao Shun again, hoping that Jiao Shun could help smooth things over.

Jiao Shun has always been anxious about such things that are beneficial and cost-effective, so he immediately said: "Why don't you call those who have been with him these few days and ask them if they have paid attention to it."

As soon as Mrs. Wang heard that this made sense, she immediately looked at Xi Ren.

The attacker hurriedly said: "Ma'am, when I came back from Xue's house, the jade was still hanging on the neck of the second master, and it was probably when I went out later..."

Mrs. Wang interrupted her and scolded indiscriminately: "Why don't you pay attention to such an important thing when you are out of the house?!"

"Madam Mingjian!"

Xiren hurriedly turned over and fell to his knees: "Second Master left too hastily when he went out, none of us could follow. If we did, we wouldn't have found out until now!"

Only then did Mrs. Wang realize that Xi Ren was wrongly blamed, but she was not in the mood to comfort her at the moment, and immediately asked again and again, who was following Baoyu.

Xiren was like a bright mirror in his heart, but he was unwilling to offend Li Gui and Nanny Li, so he pretended to look at Jia Baoyu in embarrassment.

At this time, Jia Baoyu also belatedly figured out that anyone involved in this matter must be punished, so he poked his neck and said: "I lost things, don't do other people's business!"

It was rare for him to take responsibility, but unfortunately it didn't work.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Wang immediately called Zhou Rui and ordered him to tie up all the people who had been with Baoyu these days for questioning.

Not long after, Li Gui and a group of servants arrived, along with Tanchun, Li Wan, Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan—not to mention the first two, the latter two were purely for jokes.

Li Wan helped Mrs. Wang to sit down, while Tan Chun took over the task of questioning.

But obviously, Li Gui and the others didn't even notice that Bao Erye's jade was lost-men are not as careful as women in this matter, and Baoyu is not in the right mood these days, just like a gunpowder keg, who cares? Dare to join him?

So everyone was tongue-tied and asked three questions. The madam Wang slapped the table and coughed again, and ordered everyone to delay and beat them.

Seeing that she was in a fit of anger, no one else dared to say anything, but because Jiao Shun had some friendship with Li Gui in the early years, he couldn't bear to see him suffer from this unreasonable disaster, so he raised his hand to stop her and said, "Don't be in a hurry to fight, brother Bao these few days. Where they have been, they are the ones who know best, it is better to let them atone for their crimes first, and if they can’t find them, they will be punished later.”

After a pause, he said again: "It's not a problem if it's lost at my place. Because Brother Bao is in that courtyard these days, the people who come in and out can be counted on one hand. I'll ask people to interrogate them one by one when I turn around."

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Wang reluctantly spared Li Gui and the others, and ordered them to search the carriage first, and if they couldn't find it, prepare the carriage and wait.

When Li Gui and the others left with their thanks, the room fell into silence for a while.

Baoyu was too happy to speak at first, but after waiting for a while and seeing that no one spoke, he couldn't help looking at this and then that, as if he didn't understand why.

Seeing this, Li Wan shook his head and sighed, "It would be fine if I ended up in Changqing's house, but I'm afraid I might end up in Xue's house—at this juncture, it's not appropriate to ask, and it's even more inappropriate not to ask."

Then Baoyu suddenly realized, thinking of the absurd things he did that night, and the teasing and teasing of Xue Baochai outside, how could he have the face to come to ask for some psychic treasure?

He straightened his neck again and said, "I said earlier that I don't need to look for it, I have already smashed that spoil!"

"Brother said it was smashed, where is the fragment now?"

Tanchun immediately asked: "Could it be possible that the stone can be turned into fly ash?!"

"This……"

Baoyu hesitated for a moment, then immediately changed his words: "That's what I lost on the street!"

How can everyone be in the mood to listen to his nonsense?

Mrs. Wang immediately stood up supporting the table and said, "Come on, let me go through it."

As he spoke, he couldn't help coughing again.

Seeing this, Tanchun took the initiative to stand up again and said, "Madam's illness is still not cured, I'd better go through it again——We are juniors to come forward, even if we say something wrong, there is still room for change."

Seeing that it was the third girl who took the initiative to stand up again, Mrs. Wang couldn't help being very pleased, she held her hand and said, "Compared to your useless brother, you are more like crawling out of my intestines."

Without further ado, Tanchun immediately ordered all the troops to set off—including Xiren Muskyue, after all, they were most familiar with Baoyu's behavior patterns, and they were more familiar with finding them than others.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the front foot left the Yihong Courtyard, someone shouted repeatedly from behind.

Recognizing that it was Aunt Zhao's voice, Tanchun sighed helplessly, and waved his hand to signal Xiren to take the large troops to the front yard first, and then stopped and waited for Aunt Zhao to come over.

"Are you stupid, girl?!"

As soon as Aunt Zhao came up, she put her hips on her hips and accused her: "What does it have to do with you when he throws away his jade? He was just rushing to flatter his wife's stinky feet. Could it be that the white eyes outside are so good-looking?!"

Just now when Tanchun took the initiative to stand up, she winked at the side and wanted to stop her. Later, she heard Mrs. Wang say that Tanchun seemed to crawl out of her intestines, which made Aunt Zhao even more angry.

According to her wishes, she wished that Mrs. Wang would run around sick and die of exhaustion outside!
"Auntie, be careful."

Tan Chun glared at Aunt Zhao, and said with a straight face: "That thing is always auspicious, no matter whether it works or not, you have to find it first before you can feel at ease."

"you……"

Aunt Zhao wanted to argue again, but was suddenly interrupted by a dry cough from behind, she turned her head with a face full of hesitation, but saw Jiao Shun walking over unhurriedly.

"Yo~!"

Aunt Zhao immediately performed the face-changing Sichuan opera, and said with a coquettish and charming smile, "Why did the uncle come out?"

If it wasn't for the fact that there was no obstruction here, she wished she could stick her whole body on it.

Jiao Shun really hasn't tasted this kind of food in a few days.

Thinking that she will be regarded as his half-mother-in-law in the future, she is ready to move without realizing it, but unfortunately the time and place are not suitable, so Jiao Shun can only restrain his desire, and take out a red agate bracelet, which will leave no trace when passing by I stuffed it to her and said with a smile, "I'm going back to Zijin Street with my third sister."

As he said that, he said to the sinking Tanchun: "Look for it at my house first, if you can find it, it will save my sister from embarrassing."

Tanchun's face softened a little, and he was about to thank Jiao Shun, but Aunt Zhao held the bracelet and rushed to say with a smile from ear to ear: "Oh, how did this happen?"

While talking, the bracelet had already been put on her wrist. She was shaking her wrist and complacently, but she couldn't help but recommend herself: "How about I go with you too? There are so many people who can..."

"Auntie doesn't need to worry about this!"

Tanchun knew that Jiao Shun had scratched her both physically and mentally, and if she followed Jiao's house, she might do something shameless, so she refused before she could finish speaking.

"You damn girl, you really bitten Lu Dongbin and didn't know a good heart!"

Aunt Zhao stomped her feet angrily, but when her eyes turned to Jiao Shun, she was so flattering that water dripped out, she pinched the orchid and said in a soft voice: "This girl has never been worry-free since she was a child. Uncle just tell me, and I will teach her a lesson with Second Master."

With that tone and demeanor, when a man hears it, a big bed for three people will inevitably appear in his mind.

Jiao Shun was in no hurry to marry Tanchun at first, but now that he took Aunt Zhao's hint, it was a little more urgent.

However, in broad daylight, he didn't dare to spend more time with Aunt Zhao, so he only made a vague sound, and then went out of the Rongguo Mansion together with Tanchun, who had a livid face.

In fact, Baoyu should be called on this matter, so that he can always recall what he has done and where he has been in recent days-but when he heard that he was going to Xue's house to find jade, he wished he could tie himself to the house. If the beam can't get off, unless it's a big tie, how easy is it to persuade him to follow?

But they said that although the two set off together, after all, men and women are different from each other, so they each took a carriage.

Speechless all the way.

After arriving at Zijin Street, according to the agreement, they did not disturb the Xue family, but went to the Jiao Mansion——Xi Ren and She Yue were in charge of leading the team to dig three feet in the guest courtyard, and Jiao Shun led the waiter Tanchun. The master and servant of the book went to see Xiangyun.

Xiangyun was playing chess with Xing Xiuyan, when he suddenly heard that his master had brought Tanchun back, he couldn't help wondering: "Why is the third sister here? She's the only one, or?"

"Xi Ren and Musk Moon also followed."

Siqi reported: "But they went directly to the guest courtyard as soon as they came, as if they were looking for something."

"Go to the guest house to find something?"

Shi Xiangyun became more and more puzzled, and thought to himself, could it be that the second brother Bao left behind his luggage?But there is no need for the third sister to run alone, right?

unless……

When she saw Tanchun, she immediately said, "Did Brother Bao lose that jade again?"

"how?!"

Jia Tanchun's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said excitedly, "Could it be that you saw it?!"

She thought to herself that if Shi Xiangyun saw it, she would save going to Xue's house to suffer.

It's a pity that Xiangyun shook his head and said: "I guess, apart from the lifeblood, what else is worth mobilizing so many people?"

Tanchun was immediately discouraged when he heard the words, and resentfully explained the cause and effect, and then sighed: "If it's just an object, it's auspicious after all, and it's engraved with the words 'Never Lost, Never Forgotten'. You have to find it out to find it." Peace of mind."

She didn't usually believe in ghosts and gods, but she had heard about this piece of jade since she was a child, so she couldn't help but not take it seriously.

After hearing this, Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but think too much. He thought that the engraved on the jade was "Don't Lost, Don't Forget Immortal Shouhengchang". He thought that if he lost it, it would be on Brother Bao's body, but now the old lady just If the illness is terminal, the jade will be lost. Could it be that it should be on the old lady?

or……

Was it the old lady who saved him from this disaster?
The two of them were talking here, and Jiao Shun outside arranged for all the people who had been in and out of the guest house in the past few days to be interrogated one by one, while Xi Ren and Musk Moon led the people to dig three feet in the guest house.

But obviously, the things were not thrown here, so after working for more than an hour, they still got nothing.

During this period, Li Gui also led people to search back and forth in the street, but wherever Baoyu had been, except for a carpet search, he would not hesitate to promise a lot of money to lure him, but he also found nothing.

Looking at the sky, Tanchun knew that there would be no further delay, so he had no choice but to say goodbye to Shi Xiangyun, and went to Qianjie to ask Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue was complaining to Mrs. Xue because of Concubine Xiande's power to oppress others. When she suddenly heard that Tanchun had gone and returned, she couldn't help being annoyed and scolded: "Even if you don't care about the relationship between husband and wife, the two families are always the same. A close relative, how can there be such repeated urging?!"

After speaking, he was ready to have a conversation with Tanchun.

Seeing this, Baoqin hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Auntie calm down, since my sister has already made a decision, it's better not to make any trouble."

After a pause, he continued: "But we don't need to be in a hurry, and it won't be too late to reply at the end of the month."

Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly.

When she met Tanchun in the living room, she held her breath and prepared to wait for Tanchun to urge her, and then she would say a few perfunctory words, but Tanchun hesitated for a long time and couldn't say one, two, three.

Aunt Xue was half impatient and half puzzled: "You girl has always been a cheerful person, why are you acting like a mother-in-law today? If you don't say anything else, I will serve tea to see off the guests!"

Tanchun had no choice but to say in embarrassment: "My wife, don't misunderstand, in fact, it's actually the second brother's piece of jade that disappeared, so..."

Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Xue had already shot the case!
