Detective in the Red Chamber

This is really difficult for Miaoyu. She paced back and forth in front of Sun Shaozong, frowned and pondered for a long time, but finally shook her head, "My two junior sisters and I are devoted to pure cultivation, and we rarely go out on weekdays. Have we ever provoked any strong people?" ?”

"Speaking of going out..."

She hesitated, "Just a while ago, for the sake of the child, I often went to Shuntian Mansion."

Sun Shaozong also thought about this aspect, but Miaoyu always went to the house arrest. It is really unbelievable to say that she touched some big secret at that time, which attracted these strong men who took risks-the house arrest The people in the prison are old and weak, women and children, not bandits and pirates who like to collect treasures!

After asking a few more questions, but still not getting the point, Sun Shaozong could helplessly say, "You might as well think about it carefully, whether there are other things that you have overlooked, or these thieves are actually the two of you. It was brought by a junior sister."

"Also, you'd better be more careful. Although the guards will definitely be strengthened in this house, it's still not safe, and those thieves will come in again."

After finishing speaking, Sun Shaozong stood up and waited to open the door and go out.

"My lord, wait a minute."

Miaoyu quickly stopped him, and asked earnestly, "But I don't know that my lord suspects that the thief's target is my Quicui nunnery. Have you ever sued the master of this house?"

"Of course not."

Sun Shaozong took it for granted, "I'm just speculating, and I don't have any evidence. I told them, I'm afraid it will make them suspect you..."

"My lord, please tell me the truth!"

Before Sun Shaozong finished speaking, Miaoyu said decisively, "The master of this mansion treats me very well, if I really attracted those thieves, I should move out of this garden, so as not to implicate them!"

tsk~

The Heart of Our Lady really broke out again.

Sun Shaozong snorted and said, "Do you think I pity you? I am afraid that the child will be implicated by you for no reason! If I really leave this Rongguo Mansion, no one will be kind enough to help you raise the child!"

When mentioning the child, Miaoyu's determination in her eyes immediately began to waver.

Sun Shaozong didn't care how she was struggling, and walked out of Changcui Temple on his own.

As soon as he returned to the road, he saw Sheyue and Qiuwen leading a few maidservants running around like headless flies. He couldn't help asking curiously, "What are you looking for?"

"Master Sun!"

When Sheyue and the others saw him, they were immediately overjoyed, and rushed forward and said, "The old lady has already entered the garden. Our second master is afraid that something will happen, so he specially asked the servants to invite adults to accompany him!"

Chapter 503 Grandma Liu Enters the Grand View Garden [Part [-]]

Hearing that Mother Jia had entered the garden, Sun Shaozong rushed out to meet her—although according to the current situation, it is extremely unlikely that the thief is still hiding in the garden, but since Baoyu has promised, it is not easy to renege on his promise and get rich.

All the way to the Qinfang Bridge, I saw two old ladies sitting in the gazebo on the bridge, accompanied by Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng, talking.

And Jia Baoyu, leading Daiyu and Xiangyun, stood side by side on the top of the bridge and looked around. Even in the bridge hole below, there were several Zicuckoos standing guard, as if they were afraid that thieves would come out of the water. Like launching a surprise attack.

Seeing Sun Shaozong rushing over, Jia Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and was waiting to get off the bridge to meet him, when suddenly a person stood up at the table, knelt down on the ground while muttering something, but it was yesterday that Sun Shaozong was called Grandma Liu of King Yama.

Seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering, but Jia's mother refused to force her to help Grandma Liu up quickly.

As a result, the maids nearby were dawdling, but it was Sun Shaozong who strode forward, reached out and pulled the old lady up from the ground, helped her to the stone bench covered with a cotton mattress, and said with a smile, "It was an appointment with Brother Bao Well, if I want to take a stroll in this garden, I would not want to disturb the two old people's elegant mood, if I had known it would be like this, I would not come here."

Next to her, Mother Jia hurriedly said, "Don't disturb me, anyway, they are all my relatives, and there are no outsiders. If Erlang doesn't dislike it, he might as well accompany us two wives for a walk."

Jia Baoyu and Mrs. Wang all joined in one after another, and Sun Shaozong naturally followed suit.

So when Jiamu gave an order, everyone surrounded her again and went busily to Lin Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for Sun Shaozong to enter this courtyard, and he saw Xiangfei bamboos planted on both sides, the ground was covered with moss, and there was only a small path in the middle that looked like a sheep farm, which was made of stones for pedestrians to enter and exit. .

Seeing this, Grandma Liu scrambled to make way for Mother Jia and others, but she walked forward stepping on the moss.

Amber, the maidservant next to Jia Mu, saw her, hurriedly chased her, grabbed her and persuaded her, "Grandma, come up quickly, you'll be slipped by that moss!"

Grandma Liu waved her hands and said with a grin, "It's okay, it's okay, what are we country people afraid of slippery? Girls just go, if those embroidered shoes like a bride get dirty, my wife will feel sorry for you panic."

She only focused on waving her hands and talking, when she suddenly slipped and fell straight down, everyone watching couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although Jia Mu couldn't help laughing, she hurriedly urged, "Little hooves, hurry up and help her, just smile!"

Before the words were finished, Grandma Liu had already got up from the ground, still grinning and said happily, "I slapped my mouth as soon as I said it, no wonder the girls want to laugh."

Not to mention how Mother Jia asked if she was hurt, and how Grandma Liu responded with witty words.

But because Jia Baoyu was reminded by Sun Shaozong, he saw some flaws, tilted his head and snorted and said, "My brother is right, she clearly fell this way on purpose, so that people can laugh - thanks to her being so big." At this age, you are still willing to work so hard."

Originally, he was somewhat close to this interesting country old lady, but when he saw that the old lady was acting, he felt that his family was being fooled and deceived, so he unconsciously hated her.

But Sun Shaozong just sighed, and quietly replied, "Poor parents in the world."

Before Jia Baoyu understood what he meant, Mother Jia and others had already arrived in front of the door. Zijuan opened the curtain and asked Mother Jia and others to come in and sit down. Mother Jia.

When asked about Mrs. Wang's preferences, Mrs. Wang replied indifferently, "We don't drink tea, so you don't need to pour it."

Although these words are not considered rude, there is alienation in his bones.

Therefore, the smile on Lin Daiyu's face suddenly became embarrassed, and while ordering someone to deliver a chair to Mrs. Wang, she quietly retreated to the side.

tsk~

Sun Shaozong saw this scene outside through the curtain, and turned his sympathetic eyes to Jia Baoyu—it seems that this pair of Huanxi enemies still have a long way to go if they want to achieve a positive result.

Seeing that his sweetheart was beaten by his own mother, Jia Baoyu was also very embarrassed. He deliberately went to comfort Sister Lin, but it was not easy to leave Sun Shaozong outside alone, so he had to chat with Sun Shaozong in the wrong way, while separated by the curtain. Sending glances to sister Lin secretly.

But Jia Mu chatted with Grandma Liu, and suddenly pointed to the screen on the window, and said to Mrs. Wang, "This screen looks good when it's new, but it won't be green after a while. Which bamboos are green now? If you paste this green gauze on it, it won’t match very well—I remember we have four or five colors of gauze pasted on the window, let’s replace the window with a new one for her tomorrow.”

For the trivial matters in the garden, Wang Xifeng should be the first one to ask, and even Li Wan should be the one to ask, but Jia Mu said it to Mrs. Wang. Don't care about Daiyu's niece.

This time it was Madam Wang who took the wax immediately, but unlike Lin Daiyu, she brought her own allies in the room—Wang Xifeng jumped out immediately, trying to confuse the embarrassment by making jokes.

As the saying goes, there are three women in one drama, but this Rongguo Mansion is simply a series of dramas.

Sun Shaozong shook his head secretly, he didn't bother to listen to the three generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law playing games, seeing a bamboo pavilion not far away, he planned to invite Jia Baoyu to sit there for a while.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to speak, Jia Baoyu suddenly took a few steps towards the outside, and exclaimed happily, "Auntie? Why are you here?!"

It was only then that Sun Shaozong discovered that there were several masters and servants, and they rushed over along the narrow path. Although the leader was neatly wrapped, he still couldn't hide his ripe plumpness, but who else could it be if it wasn't Aunt Xue?

"Isn't this here to visit your sister? It happened that I heard that the old lady was in the garden, so I rushed over to say hello to her."

Aunt Xue said with a smile, and suddenly saw a majestic figure flashing behind Jia Baoyu, and her expression became a little unnatural.

"I saw my aunt."

While Sun Shaozong went forward to greet him, he was also a little embarrassed. After all, what happened just a few days ago, it would be a little embarrassing to meet again.

Fortunately, Jia Baoyu was fully expecting that Aunt Xue would go in to end the awkward atmosphere, but she never noticed the weird atmosphere between the two of them, and stepped forward to pull up Aunt Xue's white and soft soft body, and hurriedly urged Said, "The old lady still mentioned you two days ago, I will lead you in!"

Sun Shaozong stepped aside, watched Aunt Xue enter the house, and went to rest in the gazebo on his own.

After another half a quarter of an hour or so, the old lady came out from inside, followed by Grandma Liu, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others. .

It wasn't until Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu at the very end that they suddenly destroyed the painting style of family harmony - Jia Baoyu slanted his shoulders and said something flatteringly, but Lin Daiyu ignored it with a straight face.

Sun Shaozong originally wanted to keep quiet and follow behind the angry young couple so as not to disturb their flirting, but as soon as they left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Lin Daiyu deliberately slowed down and said side by side with him, "Sun Shaozong Second brother, do you think those thieves will go and come back?"

"Hard to say."

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "After all, it's not easy for men to enter this garden, at most it's tight on the outside and loose on the inside."

"Sister, don't be afraid!"

Jia Baoyu followed Daiyu step by step, and immediately patted his chest when he heard this, and said, "If those thieves dare to go and come back, I will definitely protect you."

Lin Daiyu didn't even look at him, she just sneered and said, "If it wasn't for attacking them yesterday, someone might have been incompetent, right? I'm sorry I'm ashamed to speak out here!"

Jia Baoyu was so choked by her words that he rolled his eyes, and it took him a while to recover, and he didn't dare to provoke her again, so he asked Sun Shaozong to beat the side drum, "The gymnastics taught by the second brother are really useful. After doing the gymnastics, my body is much stronger than before, otherwise I would have fallen ill early today after tossing around in fear last night."

"how?"

But Lin Daiyu was annoyed again, she stared at her watery eyes, and said angrily, "You think I'm weak and sick, timid and afraid of getting into trouble?"

"I didn't say that!"

Jia Baoyu was courteous for a long time, but when he saw that she was still reticent, he immediately got a little annoyed, he tossed his sleeves and waited for a few tit-for-tat words.

"Second brother."

Just at this time, Jia Tanchun in front suddenly turned back and said with a smile, "It's rare that grandma's behavior and speech are very interesting. Why is the second brother still only talking with sister Lin?"

Firstly, Jia Baoyu was annoyed at Sister Lin's anger at him, and secondly, he didn't like that Grandma Liu deliberately behaved badly, so when he heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and sneered, "I think that old woman is not only boring, but also very annoying." !"

This corresponds to the old saying that "the speaker has no intention, but the listener intends". Tanchun was grateful to Jia Baoyu for setting fire to Jia Huan yesterday, and was thinking about how to repay him.

Now that he was very displeased with Grandma Liu, Jia Tanchun turned his eyes and went to the front to find Wang Xifeng and Li Wan, and said with a smile, "every day we say that when the old men eat wine and eat outside, they must be accompanied by a man with a strip of bamboo strips. To make fun of him, I never thought we would get a female strip today."

Li Wan is a kind man, so he doesn't know much about it.

But Sister Feng knew that she was talking about Grandma Liu, so she also laughed and said, "Since the opportunity is rare, let's just have fun with her today."

So the aunt and sister-in-law discussed it in private, only to hear Li Wanzi shaking her head, even saying that they didn't do any good things, and they were a little bit more naughty than his brother Lan.

After making up her mind, Wang Xifeng rushed to ask Mother Jia where she wanted to have lunch.

Hearing that Jia's mother casually ordered Jia Tanchun's Qiushuangzhai, Wang Xifeng lost all scruples, and turned around with Tanchun, Li Wan, Hu Po, Suyun and others, and took a shortcut with the person serving the meal. Arrived at Qiushuangzhai, set up a table in Xiaocui hall, and arranged the food and drink.

Chapter 504 Shi Taijun Two Feasts in Grand View Garden 【Part [-]】

There are more than a dozen people here, and there is a foreigner like Sun Shaozong, so it's not easy to eat at the same table.

Therefore, three tables were set up in the hall, and a screen was erected in the middle. Jia Mu led Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai to occupy a table; Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue sat with Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun. on a table.

As for the table outside the screen, it was naturally reserved for Sun Shaozong and Jia Baoyu.

There are also Wang Xifeng and Li Wan, because one has to take care of the old lady and the other is in front of her mother-in-law, but they have to wait on the side first, and wait for everyone to eat before sitting down to eat.

He didn't mention what's going on inside, but said that outside Jia Baoyu brought up the silver jug ​​and filled the wine glasses in front of the two of them, and couldn't help but scan the ears curiously, "Second brother, did you find any clues later?"

"There are two traces of overturning the wall in the northeast corner. Once in and out, there are three pairs of footprints." Sun Shaozong picked up a piece of eggplant with his chopsticks and chewed it in his mouth, but it was a meaty taste with distinct layers. He couldn't help but praise. "Back to your house, this meal has never been the same."

"The second brother still came less often."

Jia Baoyu was not interested in these meals at all, and he didn't even touch the chopsticks, and said, "So, those culprits have already escaped?"

"Eighty percent of them are like this, but it's a blindfold if they don't guarantee them all."

"Can the second brother..."

Jia Baoyu salivated, as if he had something to ask for, but before he could finish speaking, someone shouted from behind the screen, "Lao Liu, Lao Liu, eats like a cow, and eats an old sow without raising his head!"

Immediately there was a roar of laughter, and Jia Baoyu looked around curiously, only to see Shi Xiangyun spit out a mouthful of rice grains; She couldn't speak; even Aunt Xue couldn't hold back, the tea in her mouth sprayed Tanchun's skirt; Tanchun's rice bowl was all on Xichun's body; Knead the intestines.

All the maids in the room bent over and bowed their backs without smiling, some hid and squatted laughing, and some held back their smiles and came up to change clothes for her sisters. meal.

Then Grandma Liu picked up the chopsticks and said, "The chicken here is also handsome, and the egg that lays is also small and cute - I'll take one!"

Everyone stopped laughing, and when they heard this, they couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear.

Seeing that Jia's mother was crying tears, Jia Baoyu returned to the table with his mouth flattened, but he became more and more annoyed, and said angrily, "This woman is fake and not crazy, it's a good show!"

Sun Shaozong had seen Wang Xifeng and Jia Tanchun pointing at Grandma Liu as if they were planning something, so he shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily that she is singing a one-man show, but I'm afraid it's your second sister-in-law who is good at watching other people's plays and forced to join in." Played it."

As soon as the words fell, Jia Mu laughed inside and said, "This must be caused by Feng girl, a narrow-minded ghost. Don't believe her words."

Seeing that the matter was indeed corrected by Sun Shaozong again, Jia Baoyu admired him and couldn't help sighing, "It is said that those who sing operas are lunatics, and those who watch operas are fools—we have ears on the wall, but we don't know how to talk about it."

Because Wang Xifeng said that the quail eggs cost a tael of silver each, Sun Shaozong skewered two with chopsticks, shook them into Jia Baoyu's bowl, and said with a smile, "She sings her own songs, why do you care so much? A golden egg with one tael of silver, isn't it enough to shut your mouth?"

Finally, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but burst out laughing, picked up the two quail eggs and ate them, and completed what he had just said.

But it turned out that he saw that his sisters didn't say anything, but their hearts were tense, so he hoped that Sun Shaozong could stay in the garden for one night, so as not to worry everyone.

Sun Shaozong didn't respond to this matter immediately, he originally wanted to take Jia Yingchun with him in the afternoon and leave this wrong place together, if he wanted to stay in the garden at night, Jia Yingchun would definitely not be able to go home alone.

But Jia Yingchun was pregnant after all, so where did she suffer from such dreadful fright?

Talking about these scruples to Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu also felt that the second sister should not be involved, so he quickly said that it is enough to have myself in the garden, and there is no need to trouble the second brother Sun.

This article was temporarily uncovered, Baoyu picked up a few delicious meals, and quickly filled his stomach, watched Sun Shaozong's luck like flying, and finished a few bowls of rice in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but envy him again. Come on appetite.

"correct."

After a while, Jia Baoyu suddenly thought of another doubt, so he asked curiously, "What do you mean by what the second brother Lian said this morning?"

"Uh……"

Sun Shaozong almost didn't choke, and deliberately covered up the past, but after thinking about it, Jia Lian's attitude alone might not be able to hide this matter for a long time. Wait, so as not to embarrass each other in the future.

Besides, this matter was caused by Jia Baoyu's sleeping with the concubine of the King of Beijing, so he was not afraid of being annoyed.

So Sun Shaozong hesitated for a while, and then said, "Actually, after you got drunk at noon yesterday, Xiao Hong, the maid in your room, was ordered to go inside to spread the word. The second brother Lian was probably influenced by the king of Beijing, and he didn't let the little girl go to bed. Hong served me, I repeatedly refused, but still..."
