The Return of Lord Qiang of the Red Mansion System

That night, when Jia Zhen came back from drinking flower wine, she rode her horse drunkenly to the street corner, when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. Hurry up, boy, and go home quickly.

Unexpectedly, just as the master and servants rushed to the side door, before they called out, they could hear the voices and footsteps in the mansion, which was more lively than singing a big opera.

"What's going on?!" Jia Zhen was in a bad mood, so she dismounted and kicked open the door to enter the mansion, rushing towards the hut while scolding loudly.

The steward raised his sharp eyes and trotted along beside him.It was almost winter, and the wind was cold, but he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his whole body was steaming with heat: "Master, Brother Qiang just found out that he lost something."

"Throwing things? What can he have, it's worth alarming the people in the whole house. Such a commotion, turning around, alarmed the old lady and the others, causing trouble again." Jia Zhen scolded.

"Master, the villain is a person who doesn't know the importance. It's fine if it's something else, but brother Qiang said, it's the jade portrait left by the old master, it's a priceless treasure!"

"what?!"

Hearing the words "Jade Portrait", Jia Zhen suddenly stopped her feet like a thunderbolt, and her face, which was originally red from the smell of alcohol, suddenly turned pale.

Laisheng is a slave of the Ning Mansion, and he has served Jia Zhen since he was a child, so he naturally knows the origin of the jade statue.Although I don't know the twists and turns involved in it, I know how precious it is.

Seeing Jia Zhen's face suddenly changed, he didn't know if the master had something in his heart, and he thought that Jia Zhen was also feeling sorry for the jade statue, so he said quickly: "Brother Qiang said that he was busy packing up and moving out of the house these days, how many times did he call?" A servant from the outer courtyard came to help carry the things. Somebody accidentally saw greed and stole away at night. Brother Qiang reported to grandma, who thought that the thief had not had time to send the things out of the house, so she let him go People search quickly."

"...According to your grandma's wishes, send a few more people to follow. You go and search from room to room, and you must find the things."

Jia Zhen wanted to visit Jia Qiang in person, scolding him for being so careless and losing such a treasure, but her stomach started to growl again, she had no choice but to go to the place of reincarnation of the five grains to solve the top priority.When I came out, I felt my legs were sore and numb, so I was too lazy to go back and went back to my room.

When she was lying on the couch for the servant girl to pinch her legs, Xuxian Youshi, who had been with the door for a year, also returned to the room.Seeing that my husband came home early today, I couldn't help but be overjoyed.

I want to talk to him, but I don't have anything private to say, so I can only babble about what happened just now: "When I was a girl, I came to the mansion as a guest, and I saw a jade statue given to her by my sister-in-law. The whole body is clean and bright, and it was carved according to her appearance. It is really beautiful, so I always remember it. Later, when I passed the door, my uncle and sister-in-law left early. Although I wanted to see the jade statue again, It's not easy to talk to Qiang'er, so I didn't mention it again. I don't want to think that a servant with dirty hands and feet stole the treasure. I have ordered the stewards to bring people to search everywhere. But anyone who has been in the Qiang'er Courtyard recently must be searched. In this way, they will definitely be found soon."

After many years, Jia Zhen was once again brought up by the jade statue, and she felt uncomfortable, but Youshi couldn't open which pot and which pot to carry, so he couldn't help but get angry again, and cursed loudly: "It's not all about you being the one who disciplines you!" It’s a good servant to come out! Back when Rong’er’s mother was around, there weren’t so many moths! You didn’t find the urgent thing, and you’re still talking here!”

The scolding made Youshi burst into tears, and he lowered his head and just wiped away his tears.

Jia Zhen has never been able to get close to this Xuxian. When she married her, the You family was not bad, but she never imagined that after only one year, it has become a downright dilapidated household.

Without the pressure of her natal family, Jia Zhen treats Youshi as she pleases without any scruples.Seeing Youshi crying now, I don't feel any pity, but feel bored.Still waiting to talk, but someone came to report that the master had found a prescription for a new elixir, and sent his cronies over to buy the materials with money, and had been waiting for a whole afternoon.

Hearing that Jia Jing came to ask for money, although Jia Zhen was unhappy, she dared not say anything.Hastily ordered You Shi to step down and invite the cronies in.

Jia's mansion has always had a culture of pampering servants, and servants who have served their elders are often more respectable than serious little masters.Jiao Er, who came over now, was Jia Jing's confidant who had served Jia Jing for decades, Jia Zhen didn't dare to take money, so she hurriedly offered tea and asked how much money she needed.

Jiao Erdao: "Master's new prescription was originally left by Bao Puzi, the Immortal of the Jin Dynasty. Fortunately, the materials listed above are not very expensive, and 800 taels of silver is enough for a furnace of elixir. It’s just that the old man just made a prescription and didn’t have enough money, so he sent me to find the second master to get the money.”

When Jia Jing heard that Jia Jing would spend another 800 taels of silver to refine the useless thing, Jia Zhen couldn't help but bleed.But in this dynasty, filial piety was the most important thing, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to be called up and down to weigh the silver.

While waiting, Jiao Eryin asked: "I heard that the jade portrait left by the Changfang to Brother Qiang was lost, can Second Lord find out who stole it?"

Jia Zhen said: "I just came back home, and I heard that I'm still looking for it."

Because Jiao Er is a powerful person in front of Jia Jing, he knows some secrets in the mansion.Seeing that Jia Zhen didn't seem to take it seriously, she couldn't help but smacked her lips and said, "Second Master, don't blame me for talking too much, but this jade statue has a lot to do with it, and Second Master should get it back as soon as possible - if it was back then, Master might have put the whole jade statue away. The Jianning Mansion has been turned over."

Seeing him relying on his elders to talk about his old age, just like his brother Jiao Da who stayed in the mansion for the elderly but kept his own position and chewed his master's tongue all day long, Jia Zhen was even more displeased. After taking a few sips of wine, she opened her mouth and said: , this jade statue could not reach Qiang'er's hands. I said earlier that I would keep it, but the master refused to protect my elder brother. Unfortunately, I couldn't protect it in the end—if it wasn't for my good elder brother Why should he hide in the Taoist temple now?"

These words made Jiao Er hoarse immediately, and drank his tea in suspense.Looking back, Jia Zhen also felt bored.When the two sat opposite each other speechlessly, they suddenly heard a few strange noises outside the window. Jia Zhen raised her voice to call a few times, but no one answered. It must be the movement from outside, and there is no theory.

Outside the window, Jia Qiang lay motionless in the shadows.Seeing that Jia Zhen didn't pursue it anymore, she was relieved, and hurriedly walked along the base of the wall, picking up unoccupied places and walking all the way back to the yard.

Qingyun stayed in the room, only saying that the master went looking for something.Seeing him come back, he quickly asked, "Master, did you find the jade statue?"

"Where is it so easy, let's see tomorrow. I'm not used to people watching the night, you go down and rest."

After sending Qingyun away, Jia Qiang stared at the porcelain pillow for a moment, then suddenly lifted the cover on the side, revealing something wrapped in layers of silk inside.Jia Qiang removed the silk cloth, revealing a smooth and clean jade statue.

"Using you as bait, I caught something."
