The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 143: Baoyu investigates Rongguo Mansion and Ping'er reveals embarrassment

   "Second Brother Lian, Second Brother Lian? Sister Feng!"

  , however, said that on the day when the list was released, Ping'er was having a pair of nothing in the outside, fiddling with needlework, and heard someone yelling in the yard.

   looked out through the crack of the door, but it was Jia Baoyu who stretched his neck and shouted.

Ping'er hurriedly threw the dustpan on Xiudun, greeted him quickly, and said with a smile: "Quickly stop shouting, our grandma and grandpa went to Tiejin Temple early in the morning. I'm afraid we won't be able to come back until dusk. ."

   Baoyu couldn't help being disappointed when he heard this.

   After receiving the ‘task’ from Sun Shaozong that day, he wished he could check it out immediately, so that Brother Sun could take a different look.

   Unexpectedly, by coincidence, a cousin of the uncle Prince Teng's family, suddenly fell ill and died.

  Because there was no male host in the mansion, Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian took turns to guard for a few days. This busy, sad and sorrowful person naturally did not take care of Sun Shaozong's work.

   Those minors who died prematurely these days have always been buried, so the body only stopped for three days, and was buried outside the city at noon yesterday.

   After this, Jia Baoyu rested for another day. After a little bit of understanding, he came over excitedly to check the accounts, but he didn't think he was empty.

   He frowned and walked a few steps out, and suddenly remembered something, then returned with a smile, and asked Ping'er: "Sister Ping'er, are all the books of our repair garden, are they all there?"

   Ping'er was taken aback when he heard the words, and only thought that the sun was coming out from the west--otherwise the master who could not hold the oil bottle upside down would suddenly ask about the account books?

   "It's not that I wanted to check, it's actually Brother Sun..."

   Jia Baoyu also knew that this was not in line with his usual personality, and he was afraid that Ping'er would treat himself as a ‘layman’.

   So he was busy asking Sun Shaozong to build a garden, and he was afraid of being deceived by profiteers, so he asked himself to inquire about the story of the inside story.

   Ping'er listened, but his heart was like a mirror, knowing that Sun Shaozong's repairing the garden was a fake, and it was true to kill talents with a knife!

   However, because of the misfortunes of that day, she also hated Lai Da in her heart, and naturally she would not reveal Sun Shaozong's plan.

   instead, he frowned the willow leaf and put on a panic look, and said anxiously: "Little ancestor, you can rest quickly, don't dare to investigate this account!"

   With Jia Baoyu's temperament, if Ping'er suggested that he would wait for Wang Xifeng to call the shots, 80% of them left in anguish.

   But the four characters ‘Don’t dare to investigate randomly’ made Baoyu quite unhappy. He snarled his neck and asked: "What does this mean? Am I not the serious master of the mansion? I can’t see how to repair the garden’s books?!"

With these three forced questions, Ping'er became more and more'paniced', biting Yinya, and dragging Baoyu into the house, pausing to say: "Little ancestor, why don't you know what is good or bad? I don't I asked you to check that account book, but it’s for your own good!"

   "For my good? What does this mean?"

   "You who are not in charge, how do you know how many things are involved in this other hospital?" Ping'er smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, our grandma had trouble sleeping all night because of this matter. If it weren't for Miss Lin's house..."

   Speaking of the four characters "Ms. Lin's house", she closed her mouth too quickly, as if she accidentally missed her mouth.

   Jia Baoyu became more and more inexplicable, wondering: "What does this have to do with Wei'er?"

   "Nothing to do, nothing to do!"

Ping'er awkwardly'covered up', and then persuaded: "Anyway, you still don't check this account. After a few days, I will see Mr. Sun and say that the manpower and materials in our home are the best, and the price is natural. Expensive is tight, so it’s better to ask Mr. Sun to ask for cleverness."

   She said so—especially Lin Daiyu was involved. It's strange that Jia Baoyu is willing to give up the questioning!

   stretched out his hand and grabbed Ping'er's arm, twisting his arms like a candy, and swearing in his mouth, saying that he would never tell others.

   This trick is as pungent as Wang Xifeng, and it can't stand it. Ping'er, a maid in the house, is even more afraid of being seen by others.

   ‘Nothing’, Ping'er had to sigh, "No matter, I will save my life and tell you a few truths!"

   Baoyu smiled and said, "Sister, don’t want to fool me, what can be so dangerous? Besides, even if the sky falls, I will go to the old lady to help my sister get back up!"

Ping'er sighed again, and said faintly: "When the garden was first built, it was estimated that three or four hundred thousand taels of silver would be enough-who knows that other houses have also built other houses, and There was that King Zhongshun hoarding, and as a result, the price increased several times, making our mansion unsustainable."

   "Because I have already declared the provincial family affairs to the court, if work is suspended halfway, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

   "There is no way, I had to embezzle the silver left by Uncle Lin in the end."

"what?!"

   Jia Baoyu's eyes widened in astonishment when he heard this: "Our family repairing the garden actually used Uncle Lin's money?! How much did we use?!"

   Ping'er reached out and made a six.

   Jia Baoyu guessed a number subconsciously: "Sixty thousand taels used?!"

  Who knows Ping'er shook his head and said: "It's more than six hundred thousand taels!"

   "Six...six six hundred and six hundred thousand taels?!"

Now Jia Baoyu is really frightened~www.wuxiaspot.com~ No matter how dull he is, he also knows what the concept of 600,000 taels is—even if the Jia Mansion is a big business, it will be enough for decades. Chew it!

   His first thought was that he wanted to rush to the old lady and expose this ugly thing!

   But then it occurred to him that with such a large expenditure, if there is no old lady nodding, who would dare to call the shots indiscriminately?

   I'm afraid it's my father, mother, and even the uncle, I'm afraid I will know it early!

Ping'er saw that he stood there for a long time, lest he contract hysteria again, and hurriedly said with relief: "In fact, this money is also the dowry prepared by Uncle Lin for his daughter. If you two get married in the future, this money should be us. Home……"

It's okay for her to be uncomfortable. Baoyu is anxious to say that, and she yells, "What kind of **** is this?! Don't say that I and Sister Lin are not married yet, even if I really become a family, I won't be sure. Don't ask her, just use the dowry truth!"

   Ping'er was taken aback by his unpretentious explosion, took a half step back, but smiled bitterly: "What's the use of you yelling at me? I didn't spend the money."

   Jia Baoyu immediately became discouraged again, and said with sullen eyebrows: "I was the one who was fascinated for a while, so please don't blame me for my sister."

   said, sternly: "Sister don't worry, many of these people are fooling me with me. Only my sister is willing to tell me the truth. I am so grateful that I will not betray my sister even if I die!"

Hearing this, Ping'er sighed, half touched and half scheming: "It's all like this, I will tell you everything - in fact, from the Xue family, our mansion has also embezzled a large sum of money, and I secretly figured it out. Now, I am afraid that one man has allowed two!"

   One man and two families?

   Jia Baoyu was bitten by thunder, staggered back a few steps, tripped by the threshold, and fell on all fours like a turtle!
