"Brother Yucun, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's always been good?" Although Jia Lian's greeting was quite decent, his lazy appearance of sitting on the chair really made Tang Ning feel uncomfortable for a while, and secretly said that this guy who didn't learn and didn't know how to have only one title on him, and he also donated it, where did he dare to be so arrogant to himself, a genuine prefect? !

But after thinking about it, doesn't people's confidence come from the Jia family that he is "white jade and a horse for the gold"? Not to mention that he has now become the chief housekeeper of Jiafu in the name of his wife's uncle, and the reason why he can be reinstated as an official in Jia Yu Village is still relying on Wang Ziteng's words, so he has the confidence to look down on himself, let alone him, even Lai Da, who met at the door just now, doesn't he look at himself with the eyes of a broken household? But even so, he can only endure it temporarily, after all, before the Jia family was in trouble, this was definitely his biggest backer.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning held back his anger and replied respectfully: "Second Master Xie is worried, it's all good." ”

After chatting a few more words, Jia Lian suddenly asked: "By the way, Brother Yucun, I heard that you rescued the benefactor's daughter from the abductor a few days ago, is there such a thing?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and replied, "This is indeed the case, and it is also related to her to come down today." ”

"Oh? What the hell is going on? Jia Lian asked curiously.

"That's right, this Miss Xiangling likes poetry and songs, so I want to invite a female gentleman to teach her in the house, but the second master, you also know, this female gentleman is extremely difficult to find, just at this time someone recommended to me the Miaoyu master of your mansion, so today I rashly came to visit and sincerely invited!" Tang Ning patiently explained.

"Oh, Miaoyu, that's a beauty, ah, no, it's a talented girl!" Jia Lian, who realized that he was slipping his mouth, covered up in a panic.

However, it is not surprising that Jia Lian covets Miaoyu Tang Ning, because this Jia Lian is a well-known hungry ghost in Jia's mansion, not only has official wives and concubines such as Wang Xifeng, Ping'er, and Second Sister You, but also is entangled with women such as Duo Girl and Bao Er's daughter-in-law, so it is normal to covet Miaoyu, a beauty who can be ranked among the twelve golden hairpins.

So Tang Ning pretended not to hear it, and asked Jia Lian: "Yes, I also heard that Master Miaoyu is a rare talented woman, so I came to visit, and asked the second master to help introduce me." ”

may have felt that he could take the opportunity to meet Miaoyu, a beauty, so Jia Lian agreed very happily: "This is no problem, Brother Yucun, please come with me." ”

But when the two of them came to the Lucui Nunnery, they saw that there was a panic inside, and many people were rummaging through the cabinets as if they were looking for something, so Jia Lian dragged a handsome boy who was sweating profusely and asked, "Baoyu, what are you looking for?" ”

Hearing that this is Jia Baoyu, the male protagonist of the whole "Dream of Red Mansions", Tang Ning immediately looked at it carefully, but he was a little disappointed at first glance, because although this Jia Baoyu is handsome enough and has a full fat powder, this age is really too young, how to look at it, it is a fourteen-five-year child, if it is put in modern society, it is estimated that he has not yet gone to high school, and Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are younger than him, no wonder some people say that this love story that has touched countless people is actually the early love of a few little children......

Just when Tang Ning was thinking nonsense, Jia Baoyu replied with a sigh: "Hey, Master Miaoyu found out after this morning class that the warm sun jade pendant that her master gave her before his death was missing, so isn't everyone helping to find it." ”

As he spoke, he pointed at Tang Ning and asked Jia Lian, "Second brother, who is this?" ”

"Oh, this is the new Ying Tianzhi Mansion, and he is also the tutor of your sister Daiyu, and he has some relationship with our Jia Mansion." Jia Lian casually introduced.

And Jia Baoyu asked in surprise: "Oh, it turns out that you are Daiyu's sister's enlightenment teacher, Mr. Yucun, it's really disrespectful, but it's a pity that you are too flustered today and the etiquette is not careful, please forgive me!" ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's still important to help Master Miaoyu find the jade pendant, but I don't know how this jade pendant was lost?" It can't be stolen, right? ”

Jia Baoyu thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied: "This shouldn't be possible, Master Miaoyu's quiet room is specially made, once the door is locked, outsiders can't open it at all, and there is only a small air window that only allows arms to pass through, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to sneak in and steal the jade pendant." ”

"Uh, can you take me to the scene? Maybe I can help find some clues. Tang Ning Mao then recommended himself.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot that you are the prefect of Yingtian, and you must often open the court to ask about the case, then please ask the prefect to help Miaoyu find the jade pendant, Baoyu is here to thank you in advance!" As he spoke, Jia Baoyu bowed to the ground.

Tang Ning hurriedly helped Jia Baoyu up: "Childe doesn't have to be like this, since it is the right time, there is absolutely no reason to stand idly by, and I came here today to ask Master Miaoyu for something, so naturally I have to do my best." ”

But after some inspection, Tang Ning found that it was really as Jia Baoyu said, this was almost a secret room, and outsiders had no chance to sneak in and steal it, unless Miaoyu threw the jade pendant out of the air window, it could be lost at all.

Just when Tang Ning was puzzled, suddenly Jia Lian on the side muttered in a low voice: "It's really strange during this time, why is it that our Rongguo Mansion keeps losing things one after another, and all the things we lose are such expensive small objects, but I can't find out who stole them." ”

Hearing Jia Lian say this, Tang Ning suddenly frowned, leaned over and asked, "Second Master, are you saying that there have been several similar incidents of missing items in the mansion recently?" ”

Jia Lian nodded and replied: "Yes, there are more than a dozen, and the ones that are lost are all small items such as rings, earrings, and jade pendants, but I can't find out how they were lost, and many maids have been punished for this matter!" ”

"Oh, if you say that, then this is a series of thefts, this murderer has even succeeded, and he hasn't been discovered, it seems that he still has some ability." Tang Ning muttered to himself, but at this time, he suddenly found something next to the air window, which immediately made his thoughts brighter.
