Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 7 Leaving the House
  "Jade, you will follow Brother Qiang from now on!" Jia Mu pointed at one of the little girls and said.

At this time, Yuanyang just walked out of the room.

"But Baoyu is asleep?" Mother Jia cared more about Baoyu than anything else and asked first.

"Baoyu slept peacefully. I don't trust the old lady. I'm going to find someone else to look after Baoyu!" Yuanyang replied with a chuckle.

"It's Yuanyang who reassures me!" Jia Mu was satisfied with Yuanyang no matter what, and said with a smile, and then she ordered: "Go and bring Jade's body deed to Brother Qiang, and let her take care of Brother Qiang in the future. Come out with another two thousand taels of silver notes and give them to Brother Qiang!"

Not long after, Jia Qiang walked in front, Jade held a package in her hands and followed behind with a package on her back.

Jia Qiang stepped out of the gate of Rongguo Mansion, and at this moment he felt a wave of relief all over his body.

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, at least he will no longer be implicated by the Jia family.

His future will be decided by himself, which is so rare in this era.

"Second Master Qiang, walk slowly!" A voice came from inside the door.

Jia Qiang turned around and saw Lai Da, the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion.

There was a false smile on Lai Da's face. He looked down upon Jia Qiang who was kicked out of Jia's house.

If it weren't for Jia Mu's special attitude towards Jia Qiang, he wouldn't even give Jia Qiang a smile at the moment.

"Ancestor ordered me to send Second Master Qiang a carriage for his transportation!" Lai Da patted him away as he spoke, and an 80% new carriage was driven to a stop in front of him.

Lai Da winked at the coachman, who put down the whip in his hand and jumped off the shaft.

Lai Da didn't wait for Jia Qiang to say anything, then turned around and returned to the mansion. The coachman followed him into the mansion at a trot, leaving the carriage behind.

Jia Qiang shook his head. He had no intention of getting angry with such villains.

These servants of Jia Mansion are all spoiled by the Jia family, and they are more dignified than some petty officials when they go out. No matter what he says, it is of no use. He has already left Jia Mansion.

He looked at the carriage and knew that he could not drive it. He knew this.

Maybe give him a car, even a big truck, and he can feel his way around it.

But in his previous life, he had only seen carriages like this in movies and TV shows, let alone driving them.

"Jade, take your things and get in the car!" He ordered the somewhat overwhelmed Jade.

Jade lost her position at this time, leaving the familiar Jia Mansion, which was like home, and was about to face an unknown fate. Her heart was confused and her brain was in a state of chaos.

After hearing Jia Qiang's instructions, she just nodded instinctively, put the package in her hand and the package on her back into the car, and got on the carriage in a very embarrassed posture.

You can't blame Jade, there are wooden stools to use when getting on and off the carriage. This is the driver's job, and Jia Qiang doesn't know it.

Jia Qiang held the horse's bit. As a novice, he could only use this method to drive the carriage safely.

He was a little short, but he was strong enough. After he pulled the bit hard, the horse started walking obediently.

Of course, the main reason why this horse can be so obedient is that the horse has been trained to be very obedient.

For this kind of carriage, which is often used for women's travels, a well-trained and extremely obedient horse is a must.

"How can you let the young master pull the horse!" As the carriage moved, Jade reacted now and exclaimed.

Now that Jade's identity is in Jia Qiang's hands, she is Jia Qiang's maid. How can she let the young master do such menial work? How can she survive when the young master pulls a carriage and she sits on the carriage and is seen by outsiders.

"Sit tight Jade, it would be bad if you fall down!" Jia Qiang waved her hand and said.

Jade had no choice but to let Jia Qiang pull the carriage. Even if she wanted to replace Jia Qiang, she couldn't do it.

Jia Qiang knew the location of the second courtyard from the land deed. In fact, a servant from the Jia family should have sent him there.

Obviously, Jia Mu did not give detailed instructions. Jia Mu should have had this intention when sending the carriage, but Lai Da suppressed it, so the servants of Jia's house just pretended that this was not the case.

Fearing that the carriage would lose control, Jia Qiang walked very slowly, which gave him time to think.

It was only now that he had his own time.

After traveling through time, in addition to fusing his memories, a series of things followed, leaving him no time to think about them. When he left Ningguo Mansion, he robbed Ningguo Mansion's bank account. As long as he had enough money, he didn't have to worry too much about life.

Of course, if he really wants to spend a lot of money at once, he will get into trouble if the Ningguo Mansion is stolen.

Therefore, the only money that can really be used is the two thousand taels of silver given by Jia Mu. The rest of the silver can be used secretly, but absolutely not too much.

Although he has only been Jia Qiang for a short time, he already feels that survival is not easy.

The matter between him and Jia Zhen seemed to be resolved, but with his understanding of Jia Zhen and the injury to Jia Zhen's lower body, the matter would not end so easily.

As for how to face Jia Zhen's revenge, he has the confidence to deal with it because of the help of Golden Finger.

Goldfinger's inventory only allowed him to take revenge on Jia Zhen and empty out the Ningguo Mansion's bank vault. Now it's up to him to see how useful Goldfinger can be.

Jia Qiang thought about things and made the journey pass very quickly.

He closed the illusory screen, and his destination was not far ahead.

The second entrance to the courtyard is in Mitang Hutong, which is very close to the Imperial College.

The courtyard gate looks very ordinary, which is normal. This place was previously just a separate courtyard of Ningguo Mansion, and decorations of the corresponding level of Ningguo Mansion cannot be arranged, otherwise it will be against the rules.

Jia Qiang walked to the vermilion door and knocked on the animal head knocker, making a sound of metal colliding with the door.

"Hey!" After waiting for a while, the oil-lost door made a tooth-gripping sound, and half of the door opened.

A half-white head appeared behind the door, looking at Jia Qiang with some confusion.

It was obvious that the old servant did not recognize Jia Qiang.

It is not a good position to be arranged in another courtyard and guarded here by one person. On weekdays, it is rare to even go to the Jia Mansion. I have never seen Jia Qiang, who is like a little transparent in the Jia Mansion.

"You are Mashun?" Jia Qiang looked at the old servant and asked.

"Back to this young master, my name is Mashun. You can just call me Lao Shuntou!" Mashun should rarely be mentioned by name. When he heard the name Mashun on the first day of the year, he was stunned. , it took a moment to react and bowed back.

At this age, his eyes are not blind.

Although I don't know why Jia Qiang came here, seeing the clothes on Jia Qiang and the carriage parked behind shows that Jia Qiang's identity is not simple.

The clothes on Jia Qiang's body were made with the treatment of a young master of the Jia family, so they looked unusual at first glance.

"Laoshuntou, my name is Jia Qiang. From now on, this courtyard will belong to me, and your body deed will also be with me!" Jia Qiang said lightly.

When Lao Shuntou heard this, he was shocked at first and then reacted immediately.

He didn't think that Jia Qiang was deceiving him. This kind of thing couldn't be deceived at all.

Who dares to deceive the Jia family? Besides, although he has never met Jia Qiang, he still knows about Jia Qiang, the second young master of Ningguo Mansion.

"It turns out to be Mr. Qiang. Look at my dim eyesight. Please come in quickly!" Lao Shuntou said humbly as he opened the door.

"Drive the carriage in first, and I will live here from now on!" Jia Qiang turned back and pointed at the carriage.

Jade has come down from the carriage, holding two packages tightly in his hands.

"Second Master, please go ahead, I will drive the carriage in right away!" Lao Shun showed a flattering smile to Jade, bowed and said to Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang walked into the door, and Jade followed quickly and also entered the door.

Laoshun removed the door sill, jumped onto the carriage shaft, and drove the carriage through the gate freely.

Just inside the gate, as soon as you enter the courtyard, in addition to the sitting room, there is also a ready-made carriage house. The old man drove the carriage into the carriage house and unloaded the horses and put them in place.

Jia Qiang didn't rush in. Looking at Lao Shuntou's operation, he no longer had to worry about no one knowing how to drive the carriage.

"The little old man lives in the reverse room in the middle. If you have anything to do, you can give me any instructions at any time!" Lao Shuntou moved very quickly. After doing his homework, he returned to Jia Qiang and began to introduce him to Jia Qiang.
