[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

"What's your purpose?" Bao Cong asked.

Since the other party didn't turn the corner, he didn't want to waste time, so he asked directly.

The woman in the bed tent gasped for breath, and then said weakly: "The maidservant's name is Jinhe, and she used to be a palace maid in charge of cleaning the flower house. Now, she is fortunate enough to become the princess' maid. Naturally, she is dedicated to the princess."

"Before the horse bandits attacked that day, the servant saw the princess and the two elder sisters getting out of the carriage to relax. Later, in the panic, the slave got into the carriage of the princess by mistake, but Xiu'er thought she was the princess."

"After the horse bandit was driven away by the lord, the servant wanted to tell the lord and Mr. Jia that the princess and the two sisters were gone, but after thinking about it, even if the princess disappeared for only a moment, it would still damage the reputation, so Only then did I have the courage to cover up one or two things for the princess."

Bao Cong snorted, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "According to what you said, you pretended to be the princess, not because you have evil intentions, but because you are thinking of the princess?"

How could Jinhe not hear such bright irony?

She quickly stumbled off the bed, knelt on the ground delicately, and buried her head: "I don't dare, this servant is only worried about the reputation of the princess, and acted boldly in a hurry, and didn't think of anything else."

Bao Cong pulled the corners of his lips and sneered: "You are really bold. Before the Japanese officials came, you had already pretended to be the princess. Later, when I asked you if you were frightened, when you answered, I didn't say that you were looking for mandarin ducks." And Shishu. If I didn't go to find the princess because of this, wouldn't it be dangerous for the princess to be alone? You keep worrying about the princess, but I think you seem to be harboring evil intentions, putting the princess in danger, and only coveting glory for yourself Are you rich?"

"No, no!" Jin He hurriedly kowtowed his head on the ground a few times, crying, "I dare not! I have been wronged!"

At that time, the servant girl thought that in the public, the servant girl would deal with it first, and then tell Mr. Jiang that the princess is missing in private, so that Mr. Jiang can quietly find the princess.Later when Master Jia came back, the maidservant thought that Sister Yuanyang had served Mrs. Jia for a hundred years, like a granddaughter, and now she is the righteous sister of the Princess and the Lord, and the servant grew up with the Princess, and loves her as a sister, Lord Jia They will definitely send someone to find the two sisters.If you look for the two of them, you will know that the princess is with them, so the servant did not say so. "

"This servant really has no evil intentions, the world can learn from it! If this servant has the slightest intention of harming the princess, I will be struck by lightning and die!"

A weak woman with wounds on her face, thin body in pajamas, disheveled hair kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, even if she saw it personally, she would feel unbearable.Naturally, Bao Cong also has a heart of compassion, but he may not be really afraid of Jin He even though he looks shivering.

The rebuttals were clear and well organized. Although she spoke a lot, her voice was quiet, as if she didn't want to be heard by others, and she missed her own pretended identity.And also know that the mandarin ducks are deeply favored by Jia's mother, and their status was different from other girls in the past.

He hadn't said this before, and no one should have told her about it.How this information came about, and why it was inquired about, is unknown.

But this girl is indeed cruel, she still has injuries on her face, but now she kowtows unambiguously, with a few bangs, red, swollen and bloodstains appeared on her forehead.Bao Cong couldn't bear it, so he stopped and said: "How do you explain to others that you hurt your forehead?"

Jin He stopped, wiped away his tears, and said in a low voice: "The maidservant is recovering from her injuries in the house. She usually only takes care of her elder sister who serves as a book servant. She doesn't need to see other people, so she doesn't need to explain to others."

"Then—" Bao Cong paused in the middle of speaking, and it was conceivable that with this girl's eloquent teeth, it would not be difficult to fool Dr. Zhong.

After all, he had something wrong in his heart, so Bao Cong didn't bother about his identity any more, but asked about the burn, and said, "Mother Zhu said you burned yourself? What's going on?"

Jinhe paused for a moment, seeming to be a little surprised, but she quickly calmed down and said, "It's indeed what Madam Zhu did. Before, every time Madam Zhu came to see her, the servants would turn her away in order to conceal their identities." Today, for some reason, Mammy Zhu barged in, so the servant had to wear a veil to see her, but Nanny Zhu was very angry and poured tea on the servant."

"Huh?" Bao Cong became more and more puzzled.

Jinhe has confessed, there is no reason to lie about the burn.She pretended to be the princess, so she naturally didn't want others to find out, so the one who scalded her might really be Nanny Zhu.

Recalling what Nanny Zhu said before, the old man always emphasized that asking him to confront the princess seems to have been attracting his attention to the princess. It is very likely that Nanny Zhu became suspicious of Jinhe, that's why he said Lead him to expose Jinhe's pretending to be the princess.When Jinhe's incident happens, she will become a thief, so it's fine to call her a traitor... a traitor?

If Jinhe became the traitor who colluded with the horse bandits, wouldn't the real traitor use this to hide his identity?

With a flash of inspiration, Bao Cong realized.

Mammy Zhu exposes Jinhe's pretending to be the princess, which means that the real princess is missing. Where else can the princess be?Naturally, it was robbed by the horse bandits!

Could it be that the person who drugged the food in the convoy and colluded with the horse bandits to rob relatives was Mother Zhu?

With some clues to the ins and outs of the matter, Bao Cong stopped embarrassing Jinhe and said: "Thinking of your love for the princess, I trust you for the time being. You are also injured, so take a good rest today."

"The princess?"

Bao Cong shook his head: "You don't have to worry about this matter, and be your 'princess master'."

"Presumably the lord has found the princess, so the servant is relieved. Fortunately, the servant was burned today. If it is the princess, the consequences will be unimaginable." Although Jinhe didn't know why Bao Cong let her continue pretending to be the princess, but also No more talking.She has always had a keen intuition, this time, maybe she can get something.

"My lord, this servant will not talk too much. If there is an order in the future, this servant will do his best."

He not only guessed that Tanchun had returned safely, but also praised himself for protecting Tanchun from disaster.Bao Cong had no choice but to secretly praise this man's intelligence.

But if you are too smart, you will easily become scheming and pretend to be smart.Bao Cong reminded himself that it is better to be more prepared.

Back in his yard, his room was pitch-black, but the lights in the next room were still on.

Tanchun lives in that room, and I don't know why he hasn't slept yet so late.

Bao Cong went up to knock on the door, and asked vaguely, "San...Huan'er, are you asleep?"

The door didn't open, only a slender figure with messy hair was standing at the door and replied: "Third brother, I, I fell asleep, are you okay?"

Bao Cong didn't care, and said: "It's okay, when you come back and see that the light in your room is still on, feel free to ask. You are also tired today, go to bed earlier."

The figure nodded, "Understood third brother, I'm going to bed now, you should go to bed earlier too!"

As he said that, the figure inside slowly walked a few steps away, and after that, the lights in the room were blown out.

Appears to be asleep.

Bao Cong was about to go back to the room, but sniffed, and suddenly smelled the smell of wine and vegetables...

In the middle of the night, when did Tanchun like to eat supper?So greasy with wine and food?

Could it be sent by mandarin ducks?

But if it was a mandarin duck, why did Tanchun deliberately blow out the lights, saying that he was going to sleep?

He's not a stubborn parent, so he wouldn't even let Tanchun eat supper...

Bao Cong looked suspiciously into the dark room, and felt that there might be a...man hiding in Tanchun's room.

As for who this man is, it seems that there is no need to guess.

Bao Cong secretly rubbed his fists, deliberately made some noises and went back to his room, and closed the door of his room with a bang.

......

After a stick of incense, sure enough, the door of Tanchun's room opened quietly, and a tall, familiar figure flashed inside.

In the dark night, Bao Cong leaped out and grabbed Oman by the collar.Aman was about to exclaim, when he saw Baocong's expressionless and cold face through the moonlight.

Then, the other party opened his mouth, stretched out his index finger and pointed to Tanchun's room, and shook it again, signaling Oman to keep silent.

Aman was very panicked at first, but when he saw that Baocong just signaled him to keep quiet, he quickly nodded and calmly signaled that he knew.

Now, Bao Cong nodded with a smile, raised his fist, and swung it at Oman's face without hesitation.

ooh ooh-

Aman covered his head and shouted a few times silently in the dark night.

Bao Cong's fists hit the face, and he didn't dare to dodge, so he had a pretty handsome face and was beaten into a big bun.

After a meal, Bao Cong was so excited that he dragged Aman out of the yard and asked him, "What's going on?"

Aman covered his face and explained very aggrieved: "Well, third uncle Bao, I, I wanted to have a drink with you, but you were not in the room when I came, and I saw Brother Huan, so I just wanted to have a drink with you." He also went drinking together, but who would have thought that he, he was actually..."

The more she spoke, the quieter she became, until there was no sound at the back, her head drooped, and she was very depressed.

It was because he liked Brother Huan that he brought good wine and good food to him for supper, thinking that he was so thin, he would grow as strong as him if he ate more.Who knew Brother Huan had become the third girl of the Jia family, and Bao Cong happened to come back and block him in the house, no wonder he...

In fact, Tanchun and Aman are unmarried couples, and Baocong doesn't mind these small outrageous things.I was just afraid that Oman would misunderstand Tanchun and not be self-respecting, so I took advantage of the problem and beat Oman hard to warn him.

Of course, it's not because this dog food made his stomach sore!

Early the next morning, Bao Cong and Tan Chun had dinner in the lobby.

Aman came in with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and sat timidly opposite Bao Cong, next to Tan Chun.

After a whole night of absence, Tanchun was shocked when his handsome fiancé turned into a pig's head.

"Aman, what's wrong with your face? Who hit you?" Tanchun was very concerned.

Aman glanced at Bao Cong cautiously, and Bao Cong gave Tan Chun a bun with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "It must have been dark last night and he couldn't see the way clearly. Master Hou misidentified the door and hit the door frame, right?"

Oman grinned and nodded, "Yes, yes, I accidentally bumped into it."

Unexpectedly, as clever as Tanchun, he immediately recognized the voice - it must be that Baocong knew that Aman was hiding in her room last night and beat him up!

Tanchun glared at Baocong angrily: "Third brother, why are you beating people indiscriminately!"

Aman waved his hands in panic: "No, no, Uncle Bao didn't hit me! He didn't hit me! He really didn't hit me!"

Bao Cong: "..." Isn't there 300 taels of silver here?Oman, why don't you shut up!Also emphasized three times!

Before Baocong could deny it, Tanchun turned his head and looked at the wound on Aman's face distressedly, "I'll cook an egg later and apply it to your face."

Aman smiled innocently, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Bao Cong: "..." Awwow—jealousy!Another vicious handful of dog food!

Woohoo, I haven't seen Lin Daiyu for several months, my heart is so sad!

The three of them were arguing, Dong Ming ran over and whispered to Bao Cong, "Master Jiang went to interrogate Nanny Zhu last night."

Bao Cong was surprised, and was about to ask in detail, but saw Jiang Che coming, so he stopped talking.

This early in the morning, Jiang Che was full of energy. When he saw Bao Cong, he hurried up and said, "Master Jia, yesterday you said that you were going to buy a dowry for the princess again. I have already ordered out the guards. You should go there today." Let's do it!"

"Today?" Bao Cong raised his eyebrows, Jiang Che's impatient look was more caring than him.

Jiang Che said cheerfully: "Your Excellency, you don't know! I counted the princess's dowry as soon as possible, and found that many palace decorations were damaged, and most of the jewelry was lost, let alone the fine silk. Luo brocade, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, etc. If your lord wants to buy them, it’s better to buy them earlier, the things used by the princess must be of the highest quality, otherwise you will lose your dignity!"

"My lord is starting to make preparations now. In my opinion, it will be very difficult to complete the preparations when the Princess gets married!"

Hehe, too.

The original dowry had been arranged in the palace long ago, but now Baocong had to re-arrange it, it really took time and energy.

But, what does Jiang Che mean by driving him away?Is he gone so that he can do business?
