Chapter 173: Stealing Gold and Stealing Jade

The next day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs posted a notice announcing the method of the second round of imperial business selection.

On the eighth day of August, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will organize a jury to interview the businessmen who were shortlisted for the second round, and select 1,000 people to enter the third round.

The location of the second round of interviews is still in Huangzhuang in the west of the city, and the candidates for this time must be the heads of various commercial houses.

Except for the top 10, the rest of the participants are required to register their personal information with the Ministry of Internal Affairs within three days and receive a numbered ticket, which will be used to enter the venue at that time, and they will not be allowed to enter or leave during the interview.

As soon as the announcement came out, all the shortlisted businesses and their owners flocked to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to register their information and receive license plates.

With the lessons of the past, when preparing for the second round of interviews, these businessmen almost all abandon books and focus more on how to solve practical problems, of course, some people secretly speculate about what questions will come up in the second round and prepare to bet on them.

Zhang Jingyi, Lu Bingyan, Qi Xuezhao and others were also very interested in the second round, and went to the Internal Affairs Office to ask if they could participate.

Knowing that they could participate, but if they didn't answer well, they might be eliminated, and a few people thought for a long time, and in the end, only four of the top ten people chose to participate.

The unsuccessful businessmen kept an eye on the movements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and made friends and expanded their contacts.

Among them, more than 3,000 people applied to check the results, except for a few who disagreed with the results, most of them just wanted to see their results and how many places they ranked, so that they could have a clear understanding of themselves and know how big the gap was.

Lu Jing handed over all the trivial matters to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deal with, and he conducted interview training for the first round of 360 marking tubes.

After a busy day, after Lu Jing came out of the Internal Affairs Office, he did not go home directly, but came to Yuhua Building to meet Jia Yun.

"I heard Lu Zheng say that you have something to look for me?" Lu Jing asked.

Jia Yun hurriedly said: "The little one has a few things to report to the master!" ”

"Something to do with the Jia family?" Lu Jing asked.

Jia Yun nodded and said: "The first thing is related to Bao Erye, Bao Erye was calculated by Lian's second grandmother, which made the maid pregnant!" ”

Jia Yun told Wang Xifeng how to calculate Jia Baoyu one by one, since he begged Wang Xifeng to take Xiaohong out of Jia Baoyu, he and Xiaohong have been reused by Wang Xifeng, helped Wang Xifeng do a lot of things, and also knew a lot of things about Wang Xifeng.

After hearing this, Lu Jing knew in his heart, no wonder the attacker would suddenly get pregnant, it turned out that Wang Xifeng was calculating behind his back, but Wang Xifeng's action this time seemed to have inadvertently sabotaged the plan of King Zhongshun.

Now that Xue Baochai has moved out of Daguanyuan because of this incident, if she gives birth smoothly, with her heart, I am afraid that she may not necessarily marry Jia Baoyu, and it will be meaningless for the Xue family to be selected as an imperial businessman.

Thinking of this, Lu Jing sighed that the world is really impermanent and unpredictable, so he still has to wait for the notice of King Zhongshun, and then asked: "How are you getting along with Xiaohong, and what is the reaction of her father Lin Zhixiao?" ”

When Jia Yun heard this, her face suddenly became a little ugly, and she said unwillingly: "The two of us are okay, but her father is not very happy, I heard her say that her father doesn't want her to follow Second Grandma Lian, and wants her to go back to the courtyard of Second Master Bao!" ”

When Lu Jing heard this, he guessed in his heart that Lin Zhixiao wanted Xiaohong to go back, but he just wanted Xiaohong to stay with Jia Baoyu to find out the news, I am afraid that Wang Xifeng wants to use Xiaohong to win over Lin Zhixiao and his wife's wishful thinking, which will not only fail, but also offend Lin Zhixiao and his wife.

"You don't have to take it to heart, gold will always shine, with your talent, it must not be too long, Lin Zhixiao will approve of the two of you, it's really not good, can you also let Grandma Lian help you protect the media!" Lu Jing comforted.

Jia Yun sighed in her heart, and continued to talk about the second thing: "The pendant in the courtyard of the second master of Bao helped me and Xiaohong talk a few times, and the second grandmother Lian said that the pendant is a hidden danger, if she tells me and Xiaohong, Xiaohong and I will be pointed out and not said, it will also affect the reputation of the Jia family, and the second grandmother of Lian said that she will help us solve the trouble!" ”

When Lu Jing heard this, he couldn't help but think of Ping'er's loss of the shrimp bracelet, so he asked, "What is she going to do?" ”

Jia Yun shook her head and said, "Second Grandma Lian didn't say it, but two days ago, Miss Ping'er went to Yihong Courtyard and said that the bracelet was lost, and I thought it should have something to do with it!" ”

Sure enough, I didn't expect this incident to happen in advance, Lu Jing nodded and said: "You guessed right, I'm afraid Ping'er will blame this matter on Shen'er's head and use this incident to drive away Shen'er!" ”

It seems that Wang Xifeng has some means, which not only solves the pendant, makes Jia Yun and Xiaohong grateful, but also tarnishes the reputation of Jia Baoyu and the maids around him, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

Jia Yun thought about it, felt that this possibility was very great, and was extremely ashamed in her heart, Shen'er helped herself, but instead of thanking her, she was going to suffer an unwarranted disaster, and sighed: "I hurt her!" ”

Lu Jing persuaded: "If you feel guilty, make more compensation, it may not be a bad thing for her to leave the Rong Mansion!" ”

Jia Yun sighed with emotion: "This can only be the case! ”

Lu Jing continued to ask, "Can you see your Second Grandma Lian's intention to do this?" ”

Jia Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said a little suddenly: "Uncle is saying that this matter is still related to Second Master Bao?" ”

"Yes, you've improved a lot!" Lu Jing praised that if there was a thief in Yihong Courtyard, not to mention anything else, Jia Baoyu would not be able to escape from his reputation for lax discipline.

"In addition, I'm afraid she also wants to win over Lin Zhixiao and his wife!" Lu Jing continued.

Jia Yun nodded, a little cold in her heart, and had a deeper understanding of Wang Xifeng's methods, and then reported a few small things, and finally asked, "What does the uncle have to order?" ”

Lu Jing shook his head and said, "You don't need to do anything, just wait and see!" ”

Wang Xifeng sabotaged the plan of the Zhongshun King, maybe the Zhongshun King will make a move, and now he and the Jia family do not have much to do with interests, so it is better to let the Jia family fend for themselves.

On the third day of August, in the Yihong Courtyard of the Grand View Garden, the flowers and trees are covered with a little dewdrops, crystal clear, and there is a trace of cool comfort in the air.

After many days of mental adjustment, Jia Baoyu has accepted the fact that she is pregnant, and she also knows that Xue Baochai has moved out, and Shi Xiangyun is angry with herself.

Therefore, in addition to appeasing the attackers, he went to Shi Xiangyun every day to apologize and admit his mistakes and pray for forgiveness.

After breakfast, Jia Baoyu was about to go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to find Shi Xiangyun, when he saw Qingwen reprimanding Shen'er, and Shen'er was wiping her tears, shrinking into a ball, standing there at a loss.

Jia Baoyu saw that the pendant was pitiful, so she said to Qingwen: "Okay, why do you take the pendant to vent your anger again?" ”

When Qingwen heard this, she suddenly frowned angrily, her phoenix eyes widened, and she looked at Jia Baoyu in disbelief, only hating herself for being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and thinking of the attack, she was even more angry in her heart, so she didn't explain it to Jia Baoyu, turned around and left.

Jia Baoyu was a little inexplicable, and told Shen'er to go to the gate after he went to work, and as soon as he got out of the gate, he saw Musk Yue coming back from outside, and hurriedly asked, "Where did you go early in the morning?" ”

"I'm going back to my wife!" Musk Moon replied.

Jia Baoyu frowned and said, "I saw Qingwen scolding Shen'er just now, but what did Shen'er do?" As he spoke, he told Musk Yue what had just happened.

Musk Yue explained: "The second master misunderstood Qingwen, it was really that little prostitute in Shen'er was shallow-eyed and did ugly things that were unsightly!" ”

"What's the scandal?" Jia Baoyu wondered.

Musk Yue hurriedly said the cause and effect of this incident: "A few days ago, the second grandmother took Ping'er to visit the attacker, but when she left, Ping'er found that the bracelet on the table was missing. ”

"Ping'er came over today, saying that Shen'er stole it, let us pay attention, and said that let's quietly find a reason to send Shen'er out, don't let the attacker know, I'm just going back to my wife, according to Qingwen's charcoal temperament, maybe I can't be angry, so I scolded!"

Jia Baoyu felt a little sorry when she heard this, but she didn't expect that such a clever person as Shen'er would do such an ugly thing, and she suddenly felt a little heartache.

Thinking of this, I wanted to go to Qingwen to admit my mistake, but suddenly touched my neck, the piece of jade was not there, and I hurriedly went back to the room to get it, but I rummaged through the mattress, but I didn't find it.

Worried that the attacker would be uneasy after he found out, he only told Musk Yue, and the two continued to search quietly.

It's just that after looking for a long time, she still hasn't found it, so Musk Yue suspected that Shen'er stole it, so she found Shen'er and interrogated her if she took Baoyu.

When Shen'er was scolded by Qingwen, she was a little confused, and she didn't know what mistake she had made, and at this time, seeing that Musk Yue suspected that she had stolen Baoyu, she was busy crying and shouting that she didn't take it.

Everyone heard the cry of the pendant and came to check it out.

Musk Yue had to tell everyone about the loss of Baoyu's piece of jade, so everyone searched for it together, and searched for the pendant's things, but still found nothing.

The maids knew that the piece of jade was the lifeblood of the second master, and no one could afford to lose it, so they didn't dare to delay, and Musk Yue hurriedly went to report the matter to Mrs. Wang.
