When everyone heard about it, they saw that Huan'er was not here, and she was running around the house yesterday, and they all suspected her, but they refused to say it. Tanchun said: "The only one who is mischievous is Huan'er." You call someone to come over quietly, coax her behind your back, tell her to take it out, and then scare her and tell her to keep quiet. ”

Li Kun said to Ping'er: "You still have to go to understand this matter." Ping'er agreed, and hurried over.

Soon after, Hehuan'er came. Everyone pretended to be fine, asked someone to make a bowl of tea, and put it in the inner room, and everyone deliberately accosted her and walked away, asking Ping'er to coax her. Ping'er smiled and said to Huan'er: "Your second brother's jade has been lost, have you seen it?"

Jia Huan's face turned purple in a hurry, and he glared and said, "People have lost things, why did you ask me to come and inquire, do you suspect that I am a thief who has committed a crime?"

Seeing this, Ping'er didn't dare to ask again, so he laughed and said: "That's not the case, I'm afraid that the third master will take it to scare them, so I ask if I have seen it, so that they can find it." ”

Jia Huan: "His jade is on his body, if you see it, you should ask him, how can you ask me? There are many people holding him, don't ask me if you have something, come and ask me if you lose something!"

At this time, Baoyu was anxious: "It's all this Laoshzi who is making trouble! I don't want her anymore, and you don't have to make trouble." As soon as Huan'er goes, it must be shouted that everyone in the courtyard will know, isn't this a trouble?"

The attacker and the others were so anxious that they cried again: "Little Ancestor, you see that it doesn't matter if this jade is lost, if the boss knows, we people will be crushed." As he spoke, he began to cry.

Everyone was even more sad, knowing that they couldn't cover up the matter, so they had to negotiate and come back to repay Jia's mother. Baoyu said: "You don't need to discuss, just say that I smashed it." ”

Ping'er said, "My lord, if it's so light, I want to ask why I smashed it? They are also dead! If you want to pick up the smashed pieces, then how can you find them?"

Baoyu said: "Otherwise, I will say that I went out the day before yesterday and lost it." ”

When everyone thought about it, this sentence was still passable, but they didn't go anywhere else in the past two days. Baoyu said: "Why not, the day before yesterday, I went to the Nan'an Palace, and I said that I lost it that day." ”

Tanchun said: "That's not appropriate. Since it was lost the day before yesterday, why didn't you return it on the same day?"

Everyone was thinking wildly, wanting to pretend to lie, only to hear Aunt Zhao's voice, crying and shouting, came over and said: "You lost something, don't look for it yourself, how can you ask someone to torture Huan'er behind your back?"

As he spoke, he pushed Huan'er: "You're a thief, come quickly!" was so angry that Huan'er also cried.

Li Kun was about to persuade, but the girl said, "Mrs. is here." ”

The attackers and others had no place to accommodate at this time, and Baoyu and the others hurriedly came out to greet them. Aunt Zhao didn't dare to make a sound for the time being, and followed. Seeing that everyone was frightened, Mrs. Wang believed what she had just heard: "Is that piece of jade really lost?"

When Mrs. Wang walked into the house and sat down, she called for the attacker, and the attacker hurriedly knelt down and asked for a confession with tears in her eyes. Mrs. Wang said, "Get up, quickly ask someone to look for it carefully, it's not good to be in a hurry." ”

The attacker was choked up, and Baoyu was afraid that the attacker would really tell him, so he said: "Madam, this matter has nothing to do with the attacker. It was I who went to Nan'an Wangfu to listen to the play the day before yesterday, and I lost it on the way. ”

Mrs. Wang asked, "Why didn't you look for it that day?"

Baoyu said: "I was afraid that they would know, so I didn't tell them. I asked Mingyan and the others to look for it everywhere outside. ”

Mrs. Wang: "Nonsense! Now that you take off your clothes, aren't you attacking them to serve? Brother Dafan came back from going out, and his handkerchief and purse were short, so he still had to understand, not to mention that this piece of jade was missing, so there was no need to ask?"

Baoyu was speechless. When Aunt Zhao heard this, she was proud, and hurriedly said, "I lost something outside, and I want to rely on Huan'er?"

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Wang shouted: "Say this here, you say those things that don't matter!"

Aunt Zhao didn't dare to speak, but Li Kun and Tanchun told Mrs. Wang the truth, and Mrs. Wang was so anxious that tears rained down, so she simply wanted to go back to Ming Jia's mother and ask Mrs. Xing about these people who came with her.

Sister Feng was sick, and she also heard that Baoyu had lost her jade, and knew that Mrs. Wang was coming, but she couldn't hide, so she helped Feng'er to the garden. Just as Mrs. Wang got up to leave, Sister Feng said timidly, "Greetings to Mrs. Wang." ”

Baoyu and the others came over to say hello to Sister Feng, and Mrs. Wang said, "Did you hear that too? Isn't this a miracle? I lost it when I saw it just now, and I couldn't find it again." You go back and think about it, from the old lady's side to your Ping'er, whose hands are unstable and whose hearts are narrow. I'm going to give it back to the old lady and find out carefully. Otherwise, it will cut off Baoyu's life. ”

Sister Feng replied: "Our family has a lot of miscellaneous hands, since ancient times, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, where can we keep who is good? But when there is a quarrel, we already know it, if the person who stole the jade asks his wife to find out, knowing that he is dead and has no place to be buried, he is in a hurry, but he wants to destroy the mouth, how can he deal with it at that time?"

"According to my nonsense thoughts, it doesn't matter if Baoyu doesn't love it and loses it. As long as everyone is strict, don't let the old lady or the old man know. Having said that, he secretly sent people to visit everywhere and coaxed him out, and then the jade could also be obtained, and the crime would be easy to convict. I wonder what my wife thinks in her heart?"

Mrs. Wang was late for a long time before she said, "Although your words are reasonable, how can you hide it from the master?"

So he called Huan'er over and said, "Your second brother's jade has been lost, and I asked you, why are you shouting nonsense? If it is broken and people destroy the jade, I don't think you can live?"

Jia Huan was so frightened that he cried: "I don't dare to shout anymore." Aunt Zhao listened, and she dared to speak.

Mrs. Wang then instructed everyone: "If you want to come here, there is naturally a place where you haven't found it, and if you are at home, you are afraid that it will not fly anywhere?" If I can't find it in three days, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it, so you don't have to live a quiet life. With that, he asked Sister Feng to go to Mrs. Xing's side to discuss.

Li Kun and others discussed one after another, so they summoned a group of people who watched the garden, told them to lock the garden gate, and quickly passed on Lin Zhixiao, and quietly told her, telling her to order the front and rear doors, within three days, regardless of men and women, they can walk around from inside, and when they want to go out, they are not allowed to go out. He only said that he had lost something inside, and he could only release him when he had found it.

Lin Zhixiao agreed, and said: "A while ago, the slave also lost an insignificant thing at home, and went to the street to find a word tester, what is that person's name Liu Tiezui, measured a word, and said it very clearly, and when I came back, I still looked for it, and I found it." ”

When the attacker heard it, he begged Lin Zhixiao: "Okay, Grandma Lin, go out and ask Uncle Lin to ask for us." Lin Zhixiao agreed to go out.

Xing Xiuyan said: "It is useless to measure words outside. I heard in the south that Miaoyu can help her, so why not bother her to ask. Besides, I heard that this piece of jade was originally immortal, and I thought I could ask about it. ”

Everyone was surprised: "We are common, we have never heard of her." ”

Musk Yue was busy asking Xiuyan: "I want others to ask her for it, good girl, I will kowtow to the girl, ask the girl to go, if you ask, I will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life!"

As he spoke, he was about to kowtow in a hurry, but Xiuyan hurriedly stopped him. Daiyu and the others also instigated Xiuyan to go to the cui hermitage quickly. Lin Zhixiao came in and said, "The girls are overjoyed." After measuring the word, he came back and said that this jade could not be lost, and someone would return it in the future. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all skeptical, only the attacker and Musk Yue liked it very much. Tanchun asked, "What word is being measured?"

Lin Zhixiao said: "He has a lot of words, and the slaves can't learn it, so I remember that he gave a reward for rewarding people." Then Liu Tiezui didn't ask, so he said: Did you lose something?"

Li Kun said: "Is this good?"

Lin Zhixiao: "He also said that there is a small word on the top of the word and a word at the bottom, this thing is likely to be put in the mouth, and it must be a bead gem." ”

When the people heard this, they praised and said, "What a fairy!

Lin Zhixiao: "He said that the shell word at the bottom can't be opened into a visible word, but it's not missing? As long as you find a pawnshop, there will be someone, and if there is someone, you will redeem it, but isn't it repaid?"

The crowd said, "In this case, let's look for it on the left first, and I have searched for a few pawnshops horizontally and vertically, and there must be a few pawnshops." Now that we have something, it's easy to ask people. ”

Li Kun said: "As long as there is something, even if you don't ask anyone, you can make it." Sister-in-law Lin, if you are troublesome, just tell the second grandmother about the word test, and when you go back to your wife, you will tell your wife to rest assured, and then ask the second grandmother to send someone to check quickly. Lin Zhixiao agreed and left.

Everyone calmed down a little and waited for Xiuyan to come back. was waiting, only to see the cigarette with Baoyu beckoning outside the door, telling the little girl to come out quickly, and the little girl hurriedly went out. Mingyan said: "You go in and tell us about the second master and the wives, grandmothers, and girls, a great happy event." ”

The little girl said, "Say it quickly, why are you so cumbersome?"

Mingyan smiled and clapped her hands: "I told you, you went in and went back, and both of us had to be rewarded." Bao Erye's piece of jade, I got the information and came back. ”

Mingyan told the little girl at the door that there was news about Baoyu's jade, and the little girl hurriedly came back to tell Baoyu. When everyone listened, they all pushed Baoyu out to ask her, and everyone listened under the porch. Baoyu also felt relieved, so she walked to the door and asked, "Where did you get it?" ”

Mingyan said: "You can't get it back, and you have to entrust someone to guarantee it." ”

Baoyu: "Tell me how you got the Fa, so I can ask someone to take it." ”

Mingyan: "I knew outside that Grandpa Lin was going to test the word, so I followed." I heard that he was looking for it in a pawnshop, and I didn't wait for him to finish, so I ran to a few pawnshops. I showed them one of them, and said yes. I said, "Give it to me." The pawnshop asks for tickets. He said, "Three hundred dollars, five hundred dollars." The day before yesterday, a man took such a piece of jade and made it as 300 yuan, and today another person also took a piece of jade and made it 500 yuan. ”

Baoyu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then said, "You can quickly take three hundred and five hundred dollars and get it, let's see if we'll see?"

When I was a child, I heard my brother often say that some people sell those little jades and have no money to use, so they take them as pawns. ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard it, and as soon as the attacker said it, after thinking about it, everyone laughed: "Quickly call the second master in, don't pay attention to that nonsense." The jade she said was not a serious thing. ”
