Chapter 322: Hairpin
In this way, the raging fire burned all night until the next morning, when it gradually subsided.
The huge Tianxiang Building, the main building has a few burnt wooden stakes still standing. The side buildings on both sides were also burned black. Fortunately, under the auspices of Jia Baoyu, the side buildings on both sides were finally saved with mud and thin mud.
Even so, Tianxianglou, which was originally a rich and elegant place, has also become a ruined, desolate and bleak place.
The small servants of Rongguo Mansion gradually retreated, leaving only the people of Ning Guofu to clean up the stumps.
You Shi was dressed in a blue-gray placket, his face was cold and plain, and the jade stood on the spot.
At this time, she was the only owner of Ning Guofu.
"How's it going, what did you find?"
Seeing Lai Sheng walking over quickly, she asked.
Lai Sheng replied: "Back to grandma, Tianxiang Building is too big, all four floors of the main building have been burned down, and it is really difficult to clean up for a while.
Besides......"
Lai Sheng hesitated for a moment before saying: "Besides, what is the fire last night, if the uncle and Grandma Xiao Rong were really on it, I am afraid that it would have been burned to ashes long ago......"
You's face remains the same. For this result, she has long been mentally prepared.
looked at the little wives of Jia Zhen in the distance who were wailing coquettishly, and a thick look of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she didn't care, she only walked to Jia Baoyu's side, and said: "I'm tired of the second uncle all night, and when the dust settles in the future, the concubine will set up a separate banquet as a reward." It's just that the second uncle hasn't rested all night, and now that the fire is over, the second uncle please go back to rest first, and leave the rest to the concubine herself. ”
For You Shi's invitation, Jia Baoyu did not refuse. returned the salute and said: "The matter has come to this, sister-in-law must not be too sad and tired, take good care of your body."
If there is any situation where my sister-in-law is not easy to deal with, remember to send someone to find me. Remember that we are also a family. ”
When You Shi heard this, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and he owed to send him off.
Jia Baoyu nodded and took his people back to the Grand View Garden.
I went to Yihong Courtyard to have a look. The people who gathered last night in Yihong Courtyard have all gone back separately, only the maid in their own courtyard and Tanchun are still there.
Tanchun got up early, she always cared about the situation here, and as soon as she saw Jia Baoyu coming back, she immediately stepped forward and asked: "How is the second brother, have Brother Zhen and Rong's daughter-in-law found it?" ”
Jia Baoyu looked at her concerned appearance and thought to herself, if this girl was a man, it would be good if she could be her future helper. Pity......
Because he touched her face, he said: "I don't know for the time being, but Brother Zhen and the Qin family have not appeared overnight, I'm afraid that there will be less luck." ”
When Tanchun heard this, his face showed surprise: "Then what should I do......
Jia Baoyu saw that she looked very cute, and couldn't help pinching her little face a few more times, and then said quietly: "What can I do?" If that were the case, he would just deserve it. ”
Tanchun's heart was shocked, and he immediately lowered his head. Yes, if this is the case, it can be said to be the biggest scandal of the Jia family, whether it is dead, it is a hundred, and the province will provoke people's repercussions.
She didn't have a good impression of Jia Zhen in the first place, and she was a little jealous and hateful, so even the Qin family had no pity at all. They are all dead, but they are clean.
She values the rise and fall of Jiafu more than others, so when Aunt Zhao made that incident, she was so sad. If it weren't for Jia Baoyu's true care, she might not have been able to come out.
When she came back to her senses, she noticed that Jia Baoyu's hand was rubbing against her face, crispy and numb, her face was slightly red, although she liked this feeling very much, but she still took a step back and glanced at Jia Baoyu shyly.
She was twelve years old. understands the defense of men and women, and in public, even if it is a brother, it is not easy to be so close.
Jia Baoyu naturally didn't mind, sat down and drank half a cup of hot tea, and then said to Tanchun: "You didn't sleep last night?" ”
"No, I've only been here for a while."
Tanchun shook his head and replied, immediately knowing that Jia Baoyu wanted to rest, so he said: "The second brother is tired all night, let's rest first, and the little sister will go back first." ”
Saying that, he bent down and smiled sweetly at Jia Baoyu, and then left.
Jia Baoyu was hit by his sister's last smile, so he looked at Xiangling, who was standing next to him, how to look good-looking, and thought that he hadn't slept with Wen Xiang Nephrite in his arms for a long time, and now is just right.
So he got up, took Xiangling's hand, came to the inner room, and asked her to serve herself to rest.
……
In Ning'an Hall, almost all the male principals of the Jia family in Beijing have gathered.
There was such a big movement in the two mansions last night, it was impossible for them not to know, not to mention, there was also the news that Jia Zhen might have died.
When they rushed over, it was naturally not as simple as caring and hanging.
Jia Zhen is the patriarch and the head of Ning Guofu. If he really died, there were too many entanglements of interests, and they would naturally not give up this moment of redividing the benefits.
You didn't deliberately hide what happened last night, because she knew that she couldn't hide it, so most of the people in the room knew what they should know now.
For a while, in Ning'an Hall, there were many discussions, and there were all kinds of voices.
It's a pity that Jia Zhen is nowhere to be found, and Jia Rong was temporarily detained by You's order. The two men in charge of Ning Guofu could not show up, so their various emotions and purposes could only be swayed to each other.
In the back hall, You's maid Yinpan came in, replied to You's front situation, and asked: "The lords and grandmasters in each room have arrived, do you want to go out to say hello?"
You Shi shook his head and said, "It's all for their own calculations, what's so good to see." You go and tell Mother Liu, let her come forward and say that there was a fire in the house last night, the uncle was missing, and Brother Rong was busy arranging things in the house, and if you are rude, please forgive me. ”
These people in the clan are either here to watch jokes, or they just want to take advantage of the opportunity, how many people do they really care?
It's just that she is also a woman, and if she doesn't see it, she won't see it, and she will say the past.
Yindi was about to go out, and the daughter-in-law of Lai Sheng, the head of the house, ran in and said, "Grandma, Tianxianglou found something that is a hairpin!" ”
You Shi immediately stood up and took the thing wrapped in a handkerchief from Lai Sheng's daughter-in-law's hand. It is a precious golden hairpin with soot and dirt on it.
You Shi felt familiar when he saw it, and immediately said, "Go and call all the maids in the Qin family's house who are waiting closely." ”
For a while, a few maids from the Qin family's house came over, and they all looked uneasy. There was a fire in the house, and the Qin family didn't see it all night, and when they heard those rumors, they were naturally worried.
This kind of ugly thing, if the main family is likely to shut them up in order to cover up the facts, why are they not afraid? "Do you recognize this hairpin?"
You didn't talk nonsense with them, and went straight to the point, passing the golden hairpin sent by Lai Sheng's daughter-in-law to them to see.
There are two big maids beside the Qin family, called Ruizhu and Baozhu respectively. Na Ruizhu just glanced at it, then lowered his head, but Baozhu immediately became excited, took the hairpin, and said, "This is our grandmother's hairpin!" I personally put it on for our grandmother yesterday, grandma, where did you get this, where did our grandma go? ”
Baozhu is loyal, it's not that she doesn't know that the Qin family may be dead, it's just that she doesn't want to believe that a good person like their grandmother, gentle, beautiful, and kind to them, such a master should live a long life!
It's just that she didn't know that her words immediately made things settle.
You Shi sighed and asked people to take the hairpin back, and Lai Sheng's daughter-in-law immediately said: "This is found from the ruins in Tianxiang Building, so it seems that Grandma Xiaorong must have been upstairs last night, and now, it is naturally ......."
Lai Sheng's daughter-in-law shook her head, obviously feeling a little regretful. The Qin family's personality makes them still respectful. It's a pity that he was born too enchanting and charming, and when he met a shameless father-in-law like his uncle, he would die so early, which was also a fateful catastrophe.
"No, how could someone as good as grandma die, woo woo woo ......"
The orb was simpler, and it seemed difficult to accept, and he immediately began to cry. In this way, several maids in the Qin family's house also cried, and soon it was rainy in the house.
You Shi was impatient, waved them out, and then took the hairpin and sat alone in a trance.
The situation became clearer and clearer, but she didn't know what to do.
Is it a cover-up, a concealment, or a ......
"Big grandma?"
You Shi wanted to think for a while, but unfortunately Yindi and the others didn't give her a chance. She turned her head, got up slowly, put her hand on the arm of the silver plate, and said, "If such a big thing happens, I can't handle it, let's see what the old men in the clan say." Let's go, let's go out. ”
