Rebirth Red Mansion Planting Farms

Chapter 81 Waiting for Jia Huan to commit murder

Let's talk about Qiao'er and Qingping staying in the inn, because the exam is approaching, Zhou Fuxiang calmly reviews his homework in the room, and occasionally chats with Qiao'er, but the rest of the time he doesn't talk much.Mingyue and the others knew that they wanted to return him to peace, so they didn't dare to come in and disturb him without authorization, and they only played with Qingping Qiaoer together every day.

Seeing that Zhou Fuxiang hadn't been out for days, Qiao'er changed her mind and wanted to go to Rongning Street with Qingping to take another look at the old house.Qing Ping understood, so she went to tell Zhou Fuxiang that since she had come out, why not go to the street to buy some rouge powder for the sisters in the house.Sure enough, Zhou Fuxiang agreed, and smiled and asked Mingyue to go with her. If she sees someone she likes, buy more and send them to Danyang Xinghua and others.

Ming Yue was about to go, Qing Ping stopped her with a smile, and said that there was no one to take care of the house, it would be better for the two of them to leave together, it would be better to go with Qiao Er, and it would be the same if she saw something she liked and bought more.Qiaoer said hello from the side, Mingyue saw her sincere words, thinking about leaving by herself, Sier Wuer was irritable, Zheng Yue and Huo Zhen were busy with entering the arena, and no one would refill Zhou Fuxiang's tea Water, so I stopped shouting.

Then Qingping and Qiao'er came out, still pretending to be maids and servants, they left Wuyi Lane, turned left into a north-south street, they didn't dare to go through the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion, they only walked around to the back corner gate, the two of them Standing under the eaves where Zhou Rui's family lived in the past, he took a look from a distance.Seeing the upturned corners and cornices everywhere is still the same as in the old days, but the servants who come and go are no longer familiar with each other.Qiao'er quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, pulled the corner of Qingping's clothes and said: "Sister, let's go back."

"En." Qing Ping was also in distress, heard that she hurriedly coughed in response, turned around and walked with her.

Unexpectedly, someone was coming out of the door, seeing his two backs, hurriedly asked behind him: "Who is here?"

Qing Ping and Qiao'er were startled, they didn't dare to say anything, they helped each other and left in a hurry.Seeing that they were acting suspiciously, the young man frowned slightly, and hurriedly beckoned to the people beside him, "I don't know where they come from, hurry up and ask me carefully."

The servant beside him hurriedly agreed, and the two of them chased after them together. Seeing the sound of footsteps chasing, Qiaoer pulled a handful of green apples and hurriedly said: "Go quickly." , not afraid of causing jokes on the street, so he ran quickly.The servant following behind became more and more suspicious, and chased even tighter.

Everyone saw a sound of footsteps, and they didn't know what it was for, so they hurriedly avoided to make way.Qiao'er ran impatiently, pulled Qingping and didn't distinguish between east, west, north, south, up, down, left, right, just went into alleys and walked when there were roads, and ran all the way without knowing where she was.Hearing that the footsteps behind him were getting weaker, and knowing that the pursuers hadn't followed, he dared to take a breath and said: "This trip almost hurt my sister."

Qing Ping was also sweating from fright, she laughed and said: "Don't say such a ridiculous thing, don't I want to take a look at the old house."

Qiaoer sighed with a smile, and gently patted her chest.He leaned over and glanced behind, then turned around after a while and said, "It seems that they can't catch up with us and have already gone back. After a while, no one will come over, we still have to find a way to go back."

Just as she was talking, she didn't realize that a person was riding a horse on the street over there, yelling loudly to get out of the way. Qiaoer was suspicious, so she hurriedly leaned against the wall as a cover, and took a look outside.But seeing that the horse was old and weak, it seemed that it couldn't bear the people on its back, even if it wanted to, it was powerless, it let the people on its back whip and scold it, it would take a while to pant after running for a few miles.

It was at the moment when it stopped to take a breath, Qiao'er could clearly see the man sitting on the horseback, with a deer head and mouse eyes, and a wretched description, he was actually the most ineffective Uncle Jia Huan in Jia's mansion back then.After exploring this, Qiao'er's heart skipped a beat, thinking that he came here anyway.Qing Ping held Qiao'er's wrist, seeing her startled, said hurriedly: "Why, they are chasing you again?"

"Shhh." Qiao'er hurriedly covered her mouth and kept silent, waited until the old horse ran over, then whispered to Qingping, "It's not that they came after them, it's Uncle Huan who came over."

"Uncle Huan?" Qing Ping asked her before she understood, "Where is Uncle Huan?"

Qiao'er sneered and said, "Sister is so confused, who else in our Jia family can be worthy of my Uncle Shenghuan?"

Qing Ping smiled, and then remembered that the Uncle Huan she mentioned should be Jia Huan.However, after the fall of the Jia Mansion that day, it was heard that Jia Huan had absconded with his belongings, how dare he come back now?

She was confused, Qiaoer glanced at the direction Jia Huan was leaving, her eyes flicked across the Qingbaijiu flag on the street, and suddenly asked Qingping: "When we came out, did my sister remember passing a wine shop?"

Qing Ping thought about it, nodded and said: "There is a restaurant, it seems to be on the west side of the Wanfu Inn where we live, why do you think of asking this?"

Qiaoer secretly pointed to the wine flag and said, "Sister, look, is that the restaurant? Uncle Huan just went in that direction. If that restaurant is the one we have seen, then the Wanfu Inn must be there. It's near. Now we're going back, and Baobuqi bumped into Uncle Huan."

"How could it be such a coincidence?" Qing Ping frowned, and leaned out with her, took a look at the wine shop, and said for a long time, "Why don't we two hide here for a while, and watch him pay off carefully?" But come, if not, let's find a way to go back to the inn."

Qiao'er nodded slightly and said, "That's exactly my idea." So the two of them didn't move forward, they just nestled in the corner and waited for Jia Huan to pass by.

Let's talk about Jia Huan galloping to the capital, he didn't know where Qiao'er and the others ended up, but he is a person who is used to walking on the street for fun. Boarding, all the larger inns in the city have been occupied by various officials and officials, and even the second-class ones have been occupied by wealthy gentry and rich households.Since Xiren said that he met Qiao'er at the same place, the inn must be far away, so it is not full.In this way, he only picked up the inns in the streets and alleys to find them.

It took Haosheng half a day to transfer to this Wanfu Inn. Jia Huan kept his mind on it and didn't ask anything else, but only asked if there was a troupe moving in recently.The owner of the Wanfu Inn didn't suspect him, he just thought he was something at home and needed for the banquet, so he hurriedly said yes, and he was the most prosperous Jiazi opera troupe in the past two years.

When Jia Huan heard it, he couldn't help but wondered if this Jiazi troupe was the one with Jiang Yuhan as the troupe leader, so he hurriedly went down the donkey, followed the boss's words and said with a smile: "It can be regarded as finding the location of Boss Jiang, please trouble the shopkeeper." Lead the way, let me meet Boss Jiang for a while, our master will invite him for a few days."

The shopkeeper said: "It's a bad luck for you to come. Boss Jiang will not be here for two days. Only his wife lives in the shelter and has gone out today. I'm afraid it will take half a day to invite the opera troupe to sing."

Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Don't say half a day, even a day can be waited. It's just that after traveling for more than an hour, people are tired and horses are exhausted. Please allow me to go in and have a rest."

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, I really thought it was sent by a rich family somewhere, and seeing that although Jia Huan was wearing half-worn clothes, the fabrics were of high quality, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect him, so he hurriedly invited him to sit in the hall. Next, he ordered the work to serve tea.Jia Huan drank tea and looked around pretending not to care.

Seeing that there is a curtain behind it, I don't know where it leads to, so I asked the tea-serving job: "Little brother, what is that place?"

Job said with a smile: "That leads to the back room."

Jia Huan said: "Nowadays when scholars come to Beijing, everywhere is full. Naturally, your business here should be booming."

Worker chuckled, pointed at the broken main beam above his head, then pointed down at the painted table top of the Eight Immortals, and said: "The officials said it was a good joke, how did our small shop get into the eyes of the scholars. Now and then The room also only lived in Jiazi opera troupe, a few business masters and their families. If we talk about the candidates who are catching up with the exams, there are only a few of them. They are either unable to live in a high-class room because they are sour, or there is no other inn due to helplessness. where to go."

"Oh?" Jia Huan asked again pretending not to care, "Is there no one else?"

"Anyone else, what kind of person?" Job asked with a smile.

Jia Huan was afraid that he would be overwhelmed, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "I just asked casually, and I didn't specifically say who it was. I don't bother you, go." chair.

Jia Huan sat obliquely on a table near the door, flicked her fingers on the table, and thought to herself: As a woman, sister Qiao must not be among the students, and Jiazi Opera Troupe is new, so she must not be among them, then Only a few merchants who lived there were suspected.Could it be that after Qingping took Qiaoer out that day, did she actually tell the merchant about Qiaoer?If that's the case, it's really a blind plan.Thinking back to that feudal king back then, although his character and appearance were poor and he was too old, he was still the king of a feudal clan. It is a pity that women are short-sighted.

After thinking about it, he sighed with pity, and his eyes frequently slipped to the street.Just because the exam is coming soon and the city is under martial law, people don't come out to hang out very much. Those who have someone at home who is taking the exam are even more closed, and there is no noise in the high households.

Jia Huan sat alone and waited for a stick of incense, but he didn't see Qiao's side. Impatient, he called the young man and asked, "Didn't you say that there are a few merchants living in the shop, all of them are What kind of trick?"

The job said with a smile: "One is a tea seller, the other is a silk seller, and the other is a small business owner. He can do whatever he wants."

Hearing this, Jia Huan had an idea, and hurriedly poured out a few copper coins from his sleeve and stuffed them to the young man, saying: "Then trouble me to call the man who can make money for me, and say that I entrust him to do a business." .”
