Chapter 191: Four Women
The Bai clan swore that he had not sent anyone to find Qi Baozhu.
Qin Dai thought about it for a while and believed her, the Qi family has no shortage of errand maids, if you really want to find Qi Baozhu back, you still need to instruct the maids in Jiafu to fail?
So the girl who came to call Qi Baozhu away, is she from Jiafu, or is someone impostor?
Qin Dai looked at the Bai clan who was so anxious, thinking that it would be chaotic to care!
"Madam, now is not the time to mess up, you have to talk to Mrs. Jia about this matter, everyone will look for it together, and Sister Baozhu will have a greater chance of being safe and sound."
Bai Shi glanced at Qin Daixin, and said in a hoarse voice: "Jiafu also sent someone to find it, no." The indescribable loneliness in her voice made Qin Dai feel a little unbearable!
"I trespassed." The person was lost in Jiafu, and it was impossible for the Bai family not to confess to Mrs. Jia, as long as the people in Jiafu paid attention to it, things would be much easier. What kind of person is Bai? She was born in a famous family, and after she got married, she ran a huge Qi family, how could she not think of such a simple thing!
Can Mrs. Mao Jia pretend to be indifferent and breezy just now, and come out with a smile to play haha? She didn't care about Jiafu's reputation, or was this matter arranged by her at all?
The Bai family seemed to see Qin Dai's question, thinking that even if Qi Baozhu looked at her, she was just a child after all, and her mind and vision were still a little short-sighted after all.
"I have already told the Zhang family, and if the Zhang family knows, Mrs. Jia will naturally know. If it weren't for the participation of the people from Jiafu, there are many places that we wouldn't be able to go in and find, and because of this, my heart is even colder. There seemed to be something called despair in Bai's eyes.
Qin Dai said in his heart: "The top priority is to find the maid who called Sister Qi away, you had better ask Mrs. Jia if there is such a person in the house, and whether this person was abducted by that maid." Or is there another reason. ”
Bai's eyes lit up, yes! Why didn't she think of it?
This girl is really extraordinary, no wonder Baozhu wants to take her to the Chu family.
"Third Miss, do you see what that girl looks like?" Bai Shi anxiously pulled Qin Daixin and asked about the details of the girl who called Qi Baozhu away, as if she was his last straw.
"Hmm." Qin Daixin nodded confidently, what are you kidding, her memory is surprisingly good, what special forces puzzle memory method, Russian-style legion shape memory method, ancient Greek memory wheel method...... These things are all compulsory courses for her every day. It's something that's in her blood, and even if she comes back from the dead again, she will never forget it. Thinking about the more than a dozen pages of formula passwords back then, she could remember them after reading them once. Can she forget the appearance of a girl?
Bai was overjoyed, "Then Miss Lao San will go with me to Mrs. Jia!" ”
Qin Dai said in her heart: "This is natural. Madame rest assured. ”
Qi Baozhu's life and death were unknown, Bai was worried, she nodded indiscriminately, and went to find Mrs. Jia in person.
Inside the flower hall in the heart of the garden. Mrs. Jia sat at the top, and on the left hand sat Mrs. Bai and Qin Daixin. The daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Jiafu's eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang, sat at the bottom right.
Qin Daixin lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes covered the light in her eyes, and the eldest princess was not there. What does this mean?
It seems that the eldest princess doesn't want to see the Qi family!
Bai Shi is in no mood to pursue this, what she is most worried about now is her daughter's safety.
"Madame, this is how it happened. I didn't send someone to look for the little girl, but the third lady saw the little girl follow a girl in the house, you look at this...... "Do you want to give me an explanation?"
Mrs. Jia drank the tea in her hand wholeheartedly, and didn't seem to listen to anything, in fact, she was also calculating in her heart how much this matter would come true. Almost fake! According to the report, there is no need for the Qi family to put Qi Baozhu's name into it, and anyone with a discerning eye knows it. Even if the Bai clan really wanted to find Qi Baozhu, they didn't need to instruct the people of Jia Mansion. Isn't there anyone in the Qi family? How could he send a Jiafu maid who didn't even know what Qi Baozhu looked like to find someone! This thing simply does not stand up to scrutiny.
The most important thing now is to choose Jia Mansion!
Mrs. Jia had an idea in her heart, and casually put the tea bowl of the Jinjun kiln on the table, "Go and call the head of the inner courtyard, and by the way, bring the roster, and order the girls in the house to come to the courtyard in batches, so that Miss Qin San can identify and see if the girl is from our house." Whoever is unable to be present, or who takes leave to go home, or who is sick, is carrying and bringing people here! ”
Zhang naturally agreed: "Mother, the child will do it." Madame sat down for a while and stayed with less. After saying that, he got up and left the small building in the center of the garden.
Mrs. Jia personally gave orders, and Zhang personally supervised them, which can be regarded as hands-on.
A glimmer of hope rose in Bai's eyes, time passed minute by minute, she really couldn't afford to delay, find out that girl early, Baozhu may still have some hope!
Zhang's work is in a hurry, and she soon took things up, her style of doing things is quite a bit of Jia's style back then, probably because of this, Zhang's is extremely loved by Jia's, and her status in this family is unparalleled.
Bai Shi sat withered, staring at the door with eager eyes, Qin Daixin was drinking tea with peace of mind, like a person watching a play, with a leisurely expression, and Mrs. Jia was like an old monk closing her eyes and recuperating!
After about a pillar of incense, Zhang turned back, and she was followed by a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper, who came in with a thick roster and saluted to meet the ladies and ladies.
This person is the head of the inner courtyard of Jia Mansion, surnamed Du.
Chief Du handed the roster to Mrs. Jia, and said in a loud voice: "Mrs. Yu, there are a total of one hundred and sixty-six names recorded on this list, excluding men, the remaining ninety-seven, excluding the elderly mother-in-law, six of them are not in the house, and the latest one to take leave is six days ago." The remaining ninety-one were there. ”
Jia Shi nodded, "Give the roster to the eldest grandmother to compare with Mrs. Qi, and bring people in batches!" ”
The man answered, handed the roster to Zhang, and turned around and went to the courtyard.
Zhang smiled and handed the roster to Bai, "Madame take it, if you have any doubts, just raise it." ”
The Bai family pushed back again and again, and this roster should not be handed over to her anyway.
"The eldest grandmother can just look at it, and the women can trust it." These words are loud and clear. It's comfortable inside and out.
Zhang quietly praised Bai's personality in his heart, and easily took the roster back in his hand, "Even so, I will take my wife to check." ”
Bai Shi nodded, staring at the door tightly, and then thought that he had never seen that girl at all, where could he recognize someone? This person has to ask Miss Qin San to help identify him!
"Third Miss, I'm counting on you." Bai's tone was sincere, and at this time, she couldn't care about anything else. What status has been left behind by him, asking for someone, you should have the appearance of asking for someone.
Qin Daixin gave her a reassuring smile. And nodded solemnly.
Mrs. Jia sat on the top and took in the full view of this qiē.
Eight lattice gates were opened, and several rows of people stood in the courtyard, dressed in different colors and hairstyles. One by one, they lowered their heads and waited for the summons very well.
Zhang returned to his seat and sat down, spread out the roster, and then nodded to the chief Du in the courtyard.
Mr. Du owed, pointed to the eight girls in the first row and said, "You guys go in first." ”
The eight of them turned around in unison and rushed in. These people walked very lightly, did not make the slightest sound, and even breathed steadily. It can be seen that Jiafu has a very good set of training subordinates. The eight maids stood in the room together, all with their chests held up and their heads up, staring straight ahead without squinting.
"The slave maid and the others have seen all the ladies, miss."
The slogans were shouted in unison, and I thought that they had been ordered before.
Qin Daixin's eyes quietly looked at these people. But he didn't find the maid who called Qi Baozhu away in the crowd.
She shook her head gently at Bai, and the disappointment that flashed in the latter's eyes did not escape Madame Jia's eyes.
Zhang waved his hand. The maids saluted and turned away.
Outside the door, another row of maids walked in, stood and saluted, and sang, "The slave maid and others have seen all the ladies and misses." ”
Qin Daixin looked at them one by one and shook her head again.
The people in the room changed like marquees, but Qin Daixin kept shaking her head until the last batch of maids also went down, and Qin Daixin still couldn't find the girl in the crowd.
The hope in Bai's eyes was extinguished little by little, and she couldn't help but grab Qin Daixin's hand and asked with a roar, "What about people?" Yes? You're wrong, aren't you? Or did you not remember at all and did not pay attention to it at all? ”
Qin Dai looked at Bai Shi coldly, and said in a warm voice: "Madam, you have lost your temper." Then he shook off Bai's hand and said to Zhang: "Grandma, can you borrow pen and ink from the house?" ”
The Zhang family was also frightened by the Bai family's crazy actions, and it wasn't until Qin Daixin came to her that the Zhang family woke up, smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "I'll let the subordinates prepare." ”
After a while, pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things were properly placed, and a few cases were placed on a high platform in the house, Qin Daixin laid out the paper, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and drew it on the paper.
"The girl was of medium stature, and wore a blue water-woven collared tunic skirt, covered with a half-sleeved armor of the same color, with two pink hibiscus flowers embroidered on the neckline, and a fruiting peach branch threaded with embroidery thread at the cuffs." Qin Daixin dipped in ink again and continued to paint.
"The comb of the double snail only wears an ordinary bead flower, and the powder on the beads is grinded."
But in a moment, a girl with a willow waist and a graceful figure with a double snail hairstyle jumped on the paper.
Bai and Zhang looked at it and were slightly surprised. Mrs. Jia had just seen Qin Daixin's painting skills not long ago, so she didn't show any surprise.
"I'm going to paint my face next." Qin Daixin changed a pen and opened to describe the girl's eyebrows, a pair of sword eyebrows stood impressively on the paper, a pair of narrow eyes seemed to be smiling, like a crescent moon, thin and curved, this woman had a tall nose bridge, thick lips, and a few small finches on her face.
"Alright." Qin Daixin put down the pen, picked up the painting and carefully dried the ink, handed it to Zhang's hand and said: "This is the girl who called Miss Qi away at that time, grandma can find someone to ask and see if there is such a person in the house." ”
Bai Shi hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and he couldn't wait to imprint the appearance of the person on the paper on his head.
"Madame Bai, I'll finish what I promised you. What to do next, please discuss it yourself, and I won't bother anymore. Farewell. Qin Daixin smiled and nodded to Zhang, then nodded to Mrs. Jia, who was sitting at the top of the house, and left the small building in the heart of the garden!
Mrs. Jia's eyes flashed, and her interest in this Miss Qin San was a little stronger, maybe it was good to marry her back as a daughter-in-law?
