I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 42 Doubt
After getting off the bus, there was a sedan waiting outside.After everyone arrived in the inner house by car, Qin Keqing, Rong's grandma from Ningguo Mansion, came to greet them.

Qin Keqing, slim and graceful, stepped forward and bowed to Wang Xifeng: "I've met Aunt Lian." After saying that, she raised her head and smiled.She was naturally charming, and her smile made her even more charming.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Why did you come to greet us in person? Just ask a woman to pick us up. Why are you basking in the sun outside?"

Qin Keqing said: "How could I not welcome my aunt personally? I feel guilty for not being able to pick you up at Rongguo Mansion."

Wang Xifeng was pleased with her attitude and held her hand to talk.After all the girls got off the sedan, a group of people filed into the house.

Today's Qiqiao Festival is organized by Grandma Zhen, Youshi, in an orderly manner.Seeing the girls talking and laughing, she whispered to the maids to put out more candied fruits for the girls to eat.

Because of the Qiqiao Festival, many embroideries were hung in the house, including Cantonese embroidery with bright colors and a wide variety of threads, and birds were jumping on them.There are gorgeous and gentle Su embroidery, and flowers of all colors are blooming.There is delicate and gorgeous Sichuan embroidery, and fish with different colors on both sides play in the water lifelike.There are also lifelike and bright Hunan embroidery, and the plants and trees are stretched and straight.

Tanchun clicked his tongue and exclaimed: "Strange people say that Big Brother has many collections here. After seeing these things today, I know that what they say is true. Each one is a fine product."

Qin Keqing smiled and said: "Third aunt is ridiculous, how could it be as powerful as you said? Today is also the Qiao Qiao Festival, and I worship the Qiao Empress. I just took out some stock for the sisters to play with. It's nothing."

Xichun immediately frowned: "If it was nephew Rong who was praising me, it would be okay for me to say so. Now it's your father-in-law who is praising me. Isn't it too much for me to say this to my nephew-in-law?"

Qin Keqing choked, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly smiled and smoothed things over: "My fourth sister usually talks like this. She just doesn't open her mouth. Opening her mouth will really make someone angry to death." Then he looked at Ping'er.

Ping'er was standing in the corner waiting, but now he came forward and said with a smile: "Four girls, do you want some tea? I'll get you a cup."

Xichun said angrily: "One or two of them seemed like I made a mistake. Don't blame me for talking too much!" She threw the veil and went out of the house.

Jia Hewu ate the fruit and ignored it.

Before welcoming the spring, I was too busy to take care of myself, so naturally I didn’t look at Xichun more.Now she is living a good life in Heiximen, and she gets along well with her sister Hee. When she looks at Xichun again, she can't help but put herself in Xichun's shoes, and she can't help but murmur softly: "It doesn't feel like home over there. They are all alone. When I return to my own home, I feel like a guest. It is not easy for the fourth sister."

Jia He then glanced at the place where Xichun left.

However, Xichun had always had an indescribable hostility towards her, and she gave up after just one glance.

Seeing that Xichun was alone in the courtyard, Youshi asked people to put snacks and tea on the stone table in the courtyard, and called two maids to serve him.

Wang Xifeng curled her lips at Qin Keqing: "Look at that mother-in-law of yours, she can't even speak. Why didn't she bring the person in after just a few words of advice? Instead of setting it up outside, it seemed like she was inciting my sister-in-law to fight against others. "

Qin Keqing whispered: "Auntie doesn't know. People outside say that my mother-in-law is a sawed-off gourd who refuses to say anything."

Wang Xifeng chuckled: "Where did this statement come from? It's interesting, I'll note it down."

Yingchun saw Tanchun admiring the embroidery, and knowing that the third sister knew a lot, he went over to ask a few questions.

Jia He took several of each of the snacks he thought were delicious and secretly stuffed them into the plate in front of Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu covered her lips and smiled: "You just eat like a pig, why bother to harm me?" Having said that, because Sister He gave it to her, she couldn't help but eat more. Three or four.It's really delicious, sweet but not greasy, with a refreshing and delicate taste.

Jia He leaned towards her and said, "I think it's better for us to talk less in this place. Our mouth is here, so since we talk less, we naturally eat more."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but laugh at what she said.She picked up a candied fruit and stuffed it into Jia He's mouth: "You have to shut your mouth. Everything you say seems to have a thorn. It's terrible."

Not to be outdone, Jia He said: "I didn't stab you on either side. What do you think my sister is afraid of?"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing.

Wang Xifeng heard the commotion here and raised her voice and asked: "Are you talking about something funny? Why don't you tell it to make everyone happy."

Lin Daiyu said: "Fifth sister thought about losing money here, and her little head was thinking about it, but she couldn't come up with a plan, and she was worried."

Jia He was startled. He bit down on the fruit a little too hard, and his upper and lower teeth chattered loudly. He bit his lip until it hurt, and stretched out his hand to twist Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu said "Ouch" and when she saw everyone looking at her, she smiled and said, "Sister Luo is so angry because I told her the central issue."

Jia He looked at her deliberately.

Lin Daiyu smiled, turned her head and whispered, "You dare to say you don't want to know?"

"I think so." Jia He admitted openly.

Lin Daiyu raised her palms and said, "That's fine. I'm right. I guessed your thoughts. Why bother arguing with me?"

Jia He was so angry and funny that he had nothing to do with her, so he could only glare at her and then look at Qin Keqing eagerly.

Only then did Wang Xifeng remember this incident and asked Qin Keqing, "What happened to that matter? I wanted to ask before, but I forgot about it after other things happened." Looking out at Xichun's place Glancing.

Xichun was drinking tea and eating fruits outside, seemingly carefree, but in fact she was lonely.

"This matter is a bit strange." Qin Keqing said: "The silver was kept in the house. It was first placed in the accounting office, but more than a dozen taels were lost inexplicably. The accounting office said that he did not take it, so he released the silver to the public. The tray was placed at my mother-in-law's place. It turned out that it was missing again. My father-in-law scolded my mother-in-law, and I helped my mother-in-law with a few words of love, and the tray was placed at my place. My father-in-law asked Xiangzhu to guard it, but unexpectedly, it was missing again. My father-in-law said that Xiangzhu had stolen it, and he was beaten half to death and thrown into the woodshed."

If Jia He was just curious before, he was a little confused now and asked: "Then Xiangzhu didn't refute?"

"No." Qin Keqing shook his head: "I also said that if it is really Xiangzhu, he may do it the second and third time. The first time he lost the money was in the outer courtyard, how could she, a maid in the inner house, do it? But she didn't deny it, I I can’t help her, I can only watch helplessly.”

Yingchun turned around and asked curiously: "Then you won't check it carefully?"

"How to check?" Qin Keqing said with a bitter smile: "The second time and the third time, people were sent to watch the yard where the money was kept at night. Especially the third time, there were auspicious beads in the house, and there were mother-in-law and maids in the yard outside the house. If there is When a thief goes in, he doesn't know anyone else, even I don't believe it."
