I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 98
"Mom Zhu!" Zheng Tiezhu's family was shocked. That was Mrs. Hou's right-hand person. How could she dare to ask Mama Zhu for something.He shook his head in a hurry: "This can't be done, this can't be done. I can't do it."

"You just go." Jia He said: "Tell her that I asked you to do things, and she can still embarrass you."

The Zheng Tiezhu family naturally knew that Zhu’s mother would listen to Miss He’s instructions.But these people are often trained by Mother Zhu, and they have long been accustomed to fearing Mother Zhu's power.

But she didn't want to listen to what Miss He said.So after sending Miss He back to the courtyard where she was resting, she was beating her drum in her heart, secretly thinking about what kind of words she should use when meeting Zhu's mother.

Just as Zheng Tiezhu's family was about to leave, they heard Miss He call her and give her some instructions in a low voice.

Jia He mentioned the name of the maid who didn't do her job well, and whispered: "You told Mama Zhu that from the time I opened the bedroom door to the time I walked out of the yard, I didn't see her shadow. Then I arrived at Mrs. Fang's residence. She didn't come either. I had been staying at Mrs. Fang's place for a while, and then she came in a hurry. I don't know where she was doing anything before, and her clothes and hair were all messy."

Given the current situation in the Hou Mansion, it is necessary to find someone to take the lead and deal with it severely to set an example.Otherwise, if such a sneaky person starts to be lazy, the people around him will be even less focused on doing things.If everyone fails to do their own errands secretly, the Hou Mansion will collapse very quickly.

Zheng Tiezhu's family worked hard to memorize Miss He's words word for word, and trotted to find Zhu's mother.

Sure enough, as Jia He expected, when he woke up the next morning, the careless maid was no longer there.She didn't ask where exactly he went. It was possible that he had been sent to a village in the suburbs overnight, or that his family had taken him back.

The disappearance of the eldest maid really made the house behave again.

Not to mention the outer courtyard, as far as the inner house is concerned, the maids and women are no longer as lazy as they were the day before, and they don't dare to procrastinate in the work they should do. Everything is beginning to return to the orderly appearance before.

Jia He received more than a dozen bottles of wound medicine that Zhu's mother asked her to bring over last night.She took out one of the bottles and put it on the table after breakfast in the morning.

After getting up today, she had already sent a little maid to tell Mother Zhu that she would just let the Zheng Tiezhu family serve her closely during the few days in the Hou Mansion.

Although Zhu's mother didn't understand why Miss He only fell in love with a rough woman, she understood that Miss He had a lot of ideas in mind, so she didn't ask any more questions.They just replaced all the little maids who kept watch last night, and selected two second-class maids who did well and two other third-class maids to serve Miss He.

Jia He asked one of the third-class maids to deliver the ointment to Cuixiang.

The maid hesitated: "Girl, this is when Aunt Liu is meeting the other two aunts from the same hospital. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go there now."

Jia He then smiled.

It seems that everyone in the Manhou Mansion knows that Aunt Liu has status in the family.

"Why is it inappropriate? Is it possible that an aunt of the prince's uncle can take care of what I do?" After Jia Hesu Rong said, he asked again: "How come the eldest grandma doesn't care about Aunt Liu and allows Aunt Liu to do this?" It’s cool.”

The maid said: "It turns out that they all come to pay their respects to grandma every day, and then return to their own courtyard, and Aunt Liu will ask the other two to go to her place. Since the prince..." She paused and covered up the dirty words. Without mentioning the matter, he continued: "Later, grandma was depressed and her health was not good, so she skipped their daily greetings. Aunt Liu directly took care of the two of them every day. Grandma felt that this was also To share her worries, I naturally acquiesced."

The consequence of acquiescence was to make Aunt Liu even more arrogant.

However, this is a matter of the Marquis's residence, and it is the prince's internal affairs. Jia He cannot interfere too much. He only needs to know a few details, so as not to know nothing when investigating the case in the future.When the maid took the ointment away and gave it to Cuixiang, Jia He called Zheng Tiezhu's family to take a look at the flowers and plants planted in various places in the house.

It has just been fully lit up now, and the air is fresh and pleasant.Walking around the mansion and admiring the surrounding green plants is very interesting.

Jia He asked Zheng Tiezhu's family: "That Cuixiang said that she often picks flowers for Aunt Liu. Do you know where she usually picks them?"

"Of course I go to the flower room." said Zheng Tiezhu's family member: "Or sometimes when I see the flowers in the flower garden blooming beautifully, I might as well cut some."

"You spend most of your time in the flower room?" Jia He asked, and after receiving a positive answer, he went there.

The temperature in the greenhouse is suitable, which is more conducive to the growth of plants.Flowers of all colors are in bloom, and the fragrance is fragrant all around. Occasionally, butterflies and bees can be seen flying among them. There are insects climbing on the flower stems, in the soil and on the ground.

It was still early in the day, but the gardeners had been working hard for a long time. There were beads of sweat on their heads, either taking care of the flowers and plants, removing insects, or pulling out the weeds that were growing quietly. An idle one.

Jia He saw a man pruning some messy flower branches, so he went over and asked him, "When does Cuixiang come here to cut flowers on weekdays?"

He hurriedly stopped to say hello, and said: "One or two hours earlier than now, I have to put the flowers in the vase before Aunt Liu meets the two aunts. It will be too late."

"Does everyone in the other yards have the same time to cut flowers?"

"Not necessarily." He said: "For example, the Marquis and his wife have to change flowers in their house every day, but they don't stick to the time. Sometimes they ask Mother Zhu to come over to choose, so the time is uncertain. The prince and the eldest son are not sure. Grandma’s side doesn’t necessarily change it every day, but the time is quite fixed, similar to Aunt Liu’s time.”

"Is it the same person who comes to get flowers from Grandma every time?" Jia He asked: "Since the time is similar, have the people over there come with Cuixiang?"

"Of course they are not the same person. They have not been here together with Cuixiang. After all, Grandma's residence is far away from Aunt Liu. If Cuixiang is with someone there, it will take a detour and waste time."

Jia He nodded thoughtfully.

When she walked out of the flower room, she told Zheng Tiezhu's family: "Go to Zhu's mother now and ask her for a list of the names of all the gardeners, followed by each person's working hours and day schedule."

Zheng Tiezhu's family responded and left.

Jia He was thinking secretly when he glanced at the third-class maid named Qinghong who was going to deliver the ointment. She was running out of breath and said hurriedly: "Slow down, I'm not in a hurry. Don't fall down."

Qinghong ran to her and said out of breath: "When I came back, I met someone sent from Qianyuan, saying that the officials from Jingzhao Mansion had arrived and asked the girl to come over. "
