Everything happened in a flash.
Jia Baobao rushed to the side, reached out his hand, and pushed Jia Huan away.
When a person was unlucky, even a mouthful of cold water could stuff their teeth!
Jia Huan originally had time to dodge, but after being pushed by Jia Baobao, the soles of his feet slipped.
With a "bang", he fell directly to the ground.
"Dong!"
The object that fell from the roof landed squarely on his head.
Jia Baobao, "…"
Jia Huan, "…"
Jia Baobao said, "Listen to me, I … I really didn't do it on purpose."
Jia Huan raised his head, his face full of blood.
His dark eyes stared straight at Jia Baobao, as if to say, "Just you wait."
Jia Huan opened his mouth, "You … You …"
Jia Baobao said sadly, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Jia Huan, "…"
He almost died from anger.
Jia Huan's eyes widened, his fingers scratching the ground, struggling to crawl in her direction, like an evil spirit coming for revenge.
Jia Baobao hurriedly took a step back.
When Jia Huan crawled over, he accidentally bumped into the bundle that fell from the beam.
The bundle fell apart, and a few ingots of gold rolled out from the bundle, all the way to the tip of her shoe.
The System said coldly, "Tsk, should I say that your luck is too good, or should I say that his luck is too bad?"
Jia Huan finally crawled to her feet, reached out, and held her ankle tightly.
He said fiercely, "Call for help!"
After saying that, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Jia Baobao looked at Jia Huan, and then at the gold.
"This belongs to Jia Prefecture's assets, right?"
The System said, "You, what are you doing?"
Jia Baobao thought for a moment, then picked up the bundle and flipped through it. It was indeed full of gold.
Who could be so generous?
As she thought about it, she opened the window behind the ancestral hall and swung her arm that was holding the bundle.
The bundle drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the pond with a splash.
Jia Baobao clapped his hands and said, "Today's mission is considered completed, right?"
The system was flabbergasted.
Jia Baobao turned around with a smile. His expression changed and he shouted at the top of his voice, "Someone come quickly! Help! "
Upper Room, Main Room.
Jia Zheng slammed the table. "What the hell is going on?"
Jia Baobao stood obediently at the door and said honestly, "I don't know why a big lump of gold suddenly fell from the roof and hit Brother Huan's head."
Jia Zheng scrutinized her. "Why is there gold?"
"I don't know about that."
"Don't tell me it was you …"
Jia Baobao looked innocent. "Master, look at how extravagant I am. Do I look like someone who can save such a big lump of gold?"
That's true.
Jia Zheng twirled his beard.
He had long heard of Jia Baoyu's reputation for being charitable. He gave away everything in the house to others. How could he have so much money? Then who could hide so much money in the ancestral hall? If it could be hidden here, it was obvious that the money was not clean.
After a while, a servant hurried over and bowed to Jia Zheng.
"How is it?" Jia Zheng asked in a low voice.
The servant glanced at Bao Erye and whispered, "We didn't find anything on the floor of the ancestral hall."
Jia Zheng's face suddenly turned ugly. "Then …"
The servant took a deep breath and said, "But we found traces of something hidden on the beams. There were also bite marks from mice."
Hidden something? Who could hide so much gold in the ancestral hall? Where did the gold come from? If it could be hidden here, it was obvious that the money was not clean.
Jia Zheng looked thoughtful. "Then …"
The servant continued, "Also, I found this on the roof beam."
As he spoke, the servant opened his palm. There was a Gold Ingot in the middle of his palm.
Jia Zheng's face turned uglier and uglier. He stared at the servant.
The servant blinked his small eyes and asked in confusion, "Master?"
"Are you done?"
The servant replied, "Ah, I'm done."
"Is there anything else?"
The servant shook his head. "No."
Jia Zheng said, "Well then, get out and kneel outside the door. Next time, remember to finish everything in one go!"
The servant: "…"
He retreated with a pained expression.
"Wait." Jia Zheng stopped him again.
Jia Zheng pointed at the table. "Put the Gold Ingot down."
The last glimmer of hope in the servant's eyes disappeared. He obediently put down the Gold Ingot, walked to the door, and knelt down.
Jia Baobao was closer to the door. He heard the servant muttering softly, "Master didn't finish everything in one go. Why is he talking about others …"
"Ahem." Jia Baobao coughed softly.
The servant shrunk his shoulders and didn't say anything else.
Jia Zheng stared at the Gold Ingot on the table and tapped his fingers on the table.
After a while, he raised his head and said to Jia Baoyu, "You …"
"Second Brother!" A man rushed over and interrupted Jia Zheng's words once again.
Jia Zheng was worn out. He glanced at the door and waved his sleeve to cover the Gold Ingot.
Jia Baobao: "…"
She turned to look at the door.
It was Jia Xie. He hadn't adjusted his collar. It was obvious that he had just gotten the news and hurriedly climbed out of bed to join in the fun.
Why was he so enthusiastic?
Jia Xie's body was still a mosaic. Jia Baobao glanced at it and didn't want to hurt his eyes.
Jia Zheng stood up. "Why are you here, Brother?"
Jia Xie paused and smiled. "I heard that something happened in our ancestral hall, so I wanted to come and take a look. How is it? What happened? "
Jia Zheng thought for a while and said casually, "The servant who cleaned the ancestral hall was lazy and didn't clean it properly. He attracted a rat. The rat on the beam accidentally fell and hit the Huai Geer."
Jia Xie didn't believe him. "It hit its head?"
Jia Zheng nodded. "Yes, Brother Huan is not in good health."
How could he say that?! Even if he wasn't in good health, how could his head be hit by a rat? How fragile would his skull be?
Jia Xie laughed dryly. "Second Brother, you're joking."
Jia Zheng said seriously, "I'm not joking. I've already sent for the Imperial Physician."
"Oh, I see … Haha." Jia Xie walked out unsteadily.
Jia Zheng stopped him.
"Brother, you should go back and change your clothes."
"Huh?" Jia Xie didn't understand.
Jia Zheng whispered, "Brother, whose room did you sleep in last night? Why are they messing around with you? Even your clothes …"
Jia Baobao's ears pricked up.
Jia She looked down at his clothes, and his face instantly swelled to the color of a pig's liver.
"This … Cough! I'll go back now! "
"What? What happened to his clothes? "Jia Baobao was very curious. Unfortunately, he couldn't see anything.
The System said, "Good child, don't stare. It'll hurt your eyes."
Jia Baobao turned and stared at Jia Xie's back. Suddenly, she heard a serious cough.
She immediately turned back.
Jia Zheng asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything else in the ancestral hall?"
"Nothing."
Jia Zheng frowned. "Okay, you can go back first. Remember, don't tell anyone about what happened today. If anyone asks, just say that Brother Huan's head was hit by a rat …"
He paused. He seemed to think that it was funny.
"Cough." His beard moved. "Forget it. Just pretend that you don't know anything. You don't look very smart anyway."
Jia Baobao muttered in his heart, "You don't know how painful it is for me to pretend to be stupid!"
The System was shocked. "What? Are you faking it? "
Jia Baobao said, "… Please stay away from me."
Jia Zheng let her go back to the garden.
When she went out, she turned back to take a look.
Jia Zheng called a loyal servant and whispered a few words. The loyal servant then ran in the direction that Jia Xie left.
"Sigh, no wonder I was asked to be a prodigal. There are so many undercurrents in such a small mansion. How could it not decline?"
Jia Baobao went back to the garden. He washed up and got ready to sleep.
Just as he covered himself with the blanket, he suddenly called out, "Qing Wen, how did Elder Maid Li deal with that incident?"
Qing Wen sat on the footstool through the curtain and whispered, "She caught a little girl and threw her out. I heard that Concubine Zhao bribed her."
"What a coincidence, it's Concubine Zhao again?" Jia Baobao muttered a few words and fell asleep.
Qing Wen stared blankly at Jia Baobao's face through the curtain. Unknowingly, she stared at him for half the night. When the sun was about to rise, she fell asleep on the footstool.
In the morning, Jia Baobao just got up and was still rinsing his mouth. Qing Wen leaned against the curtain and said, "Lady Wang sent Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan to see Erye."
Jia Baobao spat out a mouthful of water and let She Yue wipe the corners of his mouth.
Jia Baobao looked straight at She Yue and said to Qing Wen, "Let them in."
She smiled and asked She Yue, "What kind of Yan Zhi did you put on today? The color is so good."
She Yue blushed and whispered, "The outsiders are about to come in. What are you talking about?"
She wiped Jia Baobao's face with a handkerchief and pressed her fingers on his eyelids a few times. "Where did you get this Yan Zhi? You can't wipe it off even if you want to."
Jia Baobao didn't say anything, but there was a smile in his eyes.
She Yue pursed her lips. "You really … Do you have to be like this? Okay, okay. "
She quickly stretched her head and gently kissed Jia Baobao's cheek.
"I still have to see people later. That's all for now …"
She Yue said helplessly, "Fortunately, Erye, you're a girl. Otherwise, how can you always eat your sisters' Yan Zhi!"
Jia Baobao whispered to the System, "I don't want to either. This mission has different requirements for men and women … Eh?"
She suddenly saw a small line of words on the "A Box of Mosaic Yan Zhi" card.
Did it really have a hidden effect?
