Winning every step of the Red Mansion

Early in the morning, the donkey cart that delivered melons, fruits and fresh vegetables to Jia’s Mansion stopped at the west corner gate of Rongguo Mansion. Before he could answer, the dog barked.When the door came out, he saw that it was the familiar handle of delivering vegetables and fruits, so he opened the corner door, and asked the handle to unload the things on the cart at the door, and a few strong servants came out of the door, and moved the things in after a while.It's the same as usual, and everyone didn't pay much attention.

The driver unloaded one basket of vegetables, and when he moved the second basket, he was stunned and rubbed his eyes. Why is there an extra letter on this basket of fruits?Turning his head around, he asked the guy who escorted the car. When the guy came, he was lazy and slept all the way. How could he know where the letter came from?It's stupid to see it.Although I can't read a whole basket of big characters, I can still read the Jia characters. After all, the food is delivered to the house every day, and the monthly bills of the Jia family must be signed by someone in the Jia house.Then he held up the letter to ask the door, and the door took a look at the letter, but was taken aback.After all, these days, the stewards have been confessing their affairs every day. If anyone wants to send a letter to the mansion, they must leave the letter with the person for the master to question.The doorman didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he hurriedly let the two people who delivered the food into the anteroom, poured tea, turned around and went out, and secretly told people to keep an eye on the two people, don't tell them to leave, and hurriedly went to the housekeeper with the letter .The butler didn't dare to be negligent when he heard this, and trotted all the way to find Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty had just woken up at this time, and Jia Hu passed out again in the mansion yesterday, he was so upset thinking about the past few days, and couldn't sleep.But today it was decided to go to Wang Ziteng to search again to see if there were any new clues, so I had a snack.Then I heard the steward come to report in a hurry, saying that he had received the letter.

Jia Amnesty brushed his hands in a panic, and hurriedly took the letter over.Written on the envelope: Jia Amnesty personally.Jia Amnesty nodded. The handwriting should have been written by Jia Zheng.Hastily pulled out the letter bag to have a look, there was only one page of paper inside, without a single sentence: On the eighth day of May, send 5 taels of silver to the name and Thai room of Yunda Inn in Jizhou Prefecture.Jia Amnesty pinched the page and looked it up and down several times, then patted the table and said, "Did the person who delivered the letter keep it? Bring it here to see me."

The steward nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly asked someone to bring the two stewards who delivered melons and vegetables.The way to deliver the food was frightened, he had delivered food to the mansion for many years, this was the first time he encountered this, but he dared not ask any more questions, he trembled with fright along the way.When they saw Jia She, they both knelt down and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Jia She.

"The letter is from you two?"

The two hands looked at me and I looked at you, and they both shook their heads.

"Who sent you here?

The two then shook their heads.

"How did the letter get put on the vegetable basket?"

The two hands still shook their heads.It's true that I didn't see the letter why it suddenly appeared.

The two replied that Jia Amnesty was out of breath.One question and three don't know.Jia Amnesty shook the letter and asked, "Then did you encounter any trouble along the way, someone stopped the car or something like that?" These words woke him up, and he nodded hurriedly: "My lord, what a surprise! Said, I remembered. When I was about to arrive at the gate of the house, I met a man who asked me if the vegetables and fruits were for sale. I ignored him and drove him away. If I wanted to come this way, maybe he would Put the letter up."

Jia Amnesty nodded. It is very possible to deduce this. If the person who delivered the letter could be found, there might be clues, so he continued to ask: "What does that person look like and how is he dressed?"

Scratching his head: "That man is dressed as soon as he sees it, with short clothes and short shirts. As for the appearance of being dark, I didn't see it clearly,"

It’s the same as saying nothing, Jia Amnesty took a breath, sent someone down first, and took the letter to find Jia’s mother.

Shi Feier looked at this letter with no beginning and no end and only one sentence, which is also a category. Today is the third day of May, and it will take four days to go to Jizhou in a hurry. Besides, they have already made preparations there. If you leave the house, you will be led by the nose.Besides, there was no news about Jia Zheng in this letter.I have given the money, but I am afraid that it will not be able to save people for a while.What's more, the first letter asked for a million dollars, but this letter only asked for 5 taels. From this point of view, this time it was used to explore the bottom line of Jia's mansion.Shi Fei'er didn't care about money, but felt that once such a thing was opened, there would be no end to it in the future.In all fairness, I don't like Jia Zheng very much, but it's just to hinder my grandchildren. Yuanchun is going to get married soon, so I can't just hear the bad news before the wedding.Besides, Jia Hu vomited blood and fainted yesterday because of her husband's sudden death, let alone Yuan Chun's real father.

Shi Feier squeezed the letter, thinking about countermeasures.Jia Amnesty saw that Jia's mother was frowning tightly, and he was also worried. When he got the letter today, should he go to Wang Ziteng in a while, or go to Jizhou with the money?My heart is also in chaos.

The two of them just sat like this without making a sound. Everyone in the room saw that they were silent, and naturally no one dared to speak. The room was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling to the ground.Everyone was holding their breath, when the corridor suddenly became lively, and they heard someone crying outside, Shi Feier couldn't help but smile wryly, this Mrs. Wang was crying wherever she went, she must have received the letter.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang entered the room with a sad expression on her face. After a little greeting, she asked, "But there is a letter?" Shi Fei'er also knew that this matter could not be kept secret, so she gave the letter to Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang hurriedly picked it up, looked at it and said: "Old lady, it's not too late, let's arrange someone to set up a car to send the money there now. There can be no delay in this matter."

Shi Fei'er nodded and said: "What you said is that in this way you let Zhu'er pack up and set off after loading into the carriage." Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.

Jia Amnesty looked at it, opened his mouth, and saw that Mother Jia gave him a wink, and then stopped. When Mrs. Wang left, Jia Amnesty said, "Why don't I go, old lady?" Shi Fei'er shook her head and asked. "How many people have taken this letter?" Jia She was stopped by the question, thought for a while and said, "There are probably seven or eight people."

Shi Feier nodded, and then asked: "Among the dogs we transferred, are there any who are good at finding things? How about letting them smell and try?" Jia She slapped his thigh and said, "I forgot about this in a hurry." Among these dogs, I heard that there is one that is very clever and can find anything lost in the soap shop, so I will let someone bring it in for a try.” Needless to say, after a while, the manager brought him A man came with a dog.This dog has a majestic appearance, and his eyes are quite lively.Naturally, Jia She could not explain everything to the dog-leader, but only told him that he heard that the dog was quite intelligent and could help find objects. .The person who led the dog was naturally full of praise.Jia She ordered people to call all the people who had touched the letter just now, and then asked Mother Jia to call in all the maids and women in the yard. It happened that Mrs. Wang had finished making arrangements, and came to ask about the loading of silver. Come here and tell Mother Jia that you want to go to Jizhou with Jia Zhu.For a while, the room was overcrowded, but there were all people in the mansion who had touched the letter just now.

Except for Shi Fei'er, the crowd didn't know what Jia She was going to do. They only heard Jia She put the letter back into the envelope and handed it to the dog handler, saying: "Let this dog look around in our house. Everyone has touched this letter." If you can find the letter, there will be a lot of rewards." The dog-leader patted his chest and boasted: "This little thing is nothing to worry about." Then he took the letter, held a corner, and brought the letter to the dog's nose He went to smell it, put his arm around the dog, and muttered something to his ear.Suddenly the dog's eyes lit up.The dog-leader said: "Look for it." The dog no longer lay down on the ground, sniffing and sniffing everywhere, and opened its mouth to grab the hem of someone's clothes if it had touched the letter.The dog-leader pulled the dog, fearing that the dog would run into someone, but he was quick, and within a blink of an eye, everyone in the house who had touched the letter was found out.When everyone saw it, they were amazed and admired again and again.It's just that the dog wanted to go outside after finding the people in the house. The person who led the dog looked at it and said, "My lord, I'm afraid there are not all people in the house. The dog wants to go outside to find people."

Jia Amnesty was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly, "Follow this dog quickly, let's see how capable it is today, if it can really find someone, I will give you a big reward today." The dog's temperament went out, Jia She ordered several stewards and a few strong servants to follow, if he really found someone, he would first find a way to bring him back to the mansion for questioning.A group of people followed the dog and chased them out of the mansion.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.Without mentioning the situation in Jia's mansion, Xing Huang only said that Xing Huang entered the mansion with his eyes on the letter, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and his mission was successfully completed.However, after delivering the letter, Xing Huang did not leave the capital immediately according to the way he explained at the beginning.At this moment, Xing Huang was a little nervous, so much money, what if they didn't share it with him if he left?Isn't it just a waste of hard work.The more Xing Huang thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't just go to the inn and wait obediently.Anyway, Jia's mansion should send out the money, otherwise he would just guard and follow from afar, anyway, these people collect the money, so he would feel more at ease.Thinking about this, Xing Huang made up his mind, wait for the Jia family to send out the money, and then follow suit.

I didn't sleep last night, got up early today, and after a long day of tossing, Xing Huang felt sleepy and hungry. It happened that the wonton stand that he always stayed in on weekdays came out. Xing Huang sat down, intending to eat his fill first, and then go back Inn for a good night's sleep.The days of dread are coming to an end.Xing Huang ate two bowls of wontons and stuffed another basket of steamed stuffed buns, making his stomach round.He took some money from his pocket to pay the bill, stretched himself, and planned to get up and go back to the inn.

As soon as he turned around, he was dumbfounded, there was a circle of tall and mighty men standing behind him, and when he lowered his head, he saw a big dog holding the hem of his clothes.Xing Huang was a little flustered, and before he could speak, the two men fought each other to catch him, and the head steward said: "It's so boring to eat this, I've come all the way, let's go to the mansion to have a good meal."
