Detective in the Red Chamber

"You must not be fooling around!"

Sun Shaozong immediately scolded with a straight face, "I don't have to cause any trouble to our family, I can't spare you!"

Although Sun Shaozong occasionally thought of You Shi's petite and exquisite body when he was free, he was far from taking risks for her.

"Second Master, don't worry."

Second Sister You's family took what he said seriously, and hurriedly restrained their snickering, and said cautiously, "If you really want to match the good things of Master and Sister, you don't dare to mess around in our house--today is to test Sister's mind first. , if my sister agrees to this good thing, we will discuss and come up with a safe solution, and ask the second master to approve it."

She thought that she should die down with her threatening.

Who ever thought but still persevered!

She just wants to perfect herself, Youshi?

Or……

Second Sister You actually has other plans?

Suspicious in his heart, but now is really not the time to talk in detail, so Sun Shaozong thought that it would not be too late to find a gap in the evening before asking the truth.

So he told Second Sister You loudly that no matter what medicinal materials to use, just take them from the treasury, and then went out of Xikuayuan.

However, after Second Sister You sent Sun Shaozong away, she returned to the main room under the envious eyes of all the maids and women.

Locked the door in the hall, peered inside through a beaded curtain, and saw his mother sitting on the bed, pulling You Shi to talk about family gossip.

But Youshi was absent-minded, his eyes were staring straight out of the window, and his pair of embroidered shoes were wriggling frequently for some reason, as if a wet and wriggling bird was wrapped in those plain white socks. caterpillars in general.

"Second sister."

The Second Sister You was looking in, when the Third Sister You suddenly came out from the corner, Hu Ermei's eyes pointed at You Shi, and whispered disdainfully, "When I heard that the Second Master is coming, this Lang Hoof will be restless." ——Don't worry about what she said later, just settle the matter!"

As she said that, she couldn't help but sneered and said, "When she borrowed our sister's favor, she probably didn't expect this day to come, did she? After pinching her shortcomings, I see how she has the face to take Joe in front of us! "

But it turned out that the idea of ​​matching Youshi and Sun Shaozong was precisely the handwriting of Third Sister You.

And she did this to avenge the old hatred of being molested by Jia Zhen and his son when she was in Ningguo Mansion!

However, Second Sister You cringed a little at this time, and said falteringly, "Second Master just explained to me outside, saying that you must not cause any trouble..."

"What are you afraid of?!"

Third Sister You interrupted her unquestionably, "As long as the right time is chosen, and we and our mother are taking care of them, who can catch them?"

Seeing that Second Sister You was still a little hesitant, she leaned over and laughed again, "Sister, don't forget, we are going to give her a big blow. Could it be that the gold and silver in her makeup box are soft and soft, and you are not tempted at all?"

Hearing the words "gold and silver are delicate and soft", Second Sister You's eyes became brighter, thinking that with the help of her own sister and mother, there would not be much risk in this matter, and she firmly believed in it.

Seeing this, Third Sister You immediately went into the house while the iron was hot, and said a few words in front of Youshi, and Youshi came out of the room, wondering, "I heard from Third Sister, do you have something important to discuss with me?"

Second Sister You nodded heavily, then suddenly knelt down in front of You Shi, and said, "Please save me!"

Youshi was taken aback, and hurriedly reached out to help, but how could her petite body support Second Sister You?

I had to ask anxiously, "What is this for! If you have anything to say, just tell me, is there such a big courtesy?"

"Up to now, I don't hide it from my sister anymore."

Second Sister You had already typed up the manuscript countless times, and at this moment she blurted out, "Recently, our second master often asks about the past in Ningguo Mansion, and he is very impatient with me when he speaks, as if he is quite concerned about what happened back then. There is a grudge..."

Youshi naturally knew that what he was talking about was exactly what happened when he sat and watched the two sisters and was molested by Jia Zhen and his son, so he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

"Back then... don't mention what happened back then." She said awkwardly, "But now you are asking me for help, how do I know how to save you?"

"Of course my sister has a plan!"

Second Sister You hurriedly said, "As the saying goes, 'A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye', not to mention that the second master mentioned my sister several times, and said that my sister was born delicate..."

Chapter 539 The Daily Life of the Sun Mansion 【Continue】

Sprinkle the chopped garlic evenly on the dishes, cover the pot and let it simmer for about 2 minutes, then the cook Chuntao wraps the ears of the frying pot with a wet towel, and lifts it to the edge of the stove .

The servant girl who helped the kitchen next to her hurriedly changed the cauldron for boiling water, and then handed over a brand new spatula.

Chuntao lifted the lid of the pot, picked out most of the minced garlic, threw it into the slop bucket, and stirred the remaining minced garlic until no traces could be seen, then put it on the plate formally, and then decorated it with a few incense sticks. celery.

"Send it to the hall."

While giving orders, she tore off the sleeves on her arms, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the lining of her apron. When the rough envoy maid came out of the small kitchen with the plate, she stuck her butt on the small bench.

Hitting the sore and swollen calf with his fist, Chun Taoxin scolded Caixia over and over again.

If it wasn't for that little hoof that insisted on making trouble, and ended up being beaten for several days and couldn't get out of bed, there should have been two helpers on duty in this small kitchen, so why would he tire himself out like this?

Just as she was muttering, someone suddenly picked up the curtain and entered the kitchen. At first, Chuntao thought it was just a servant girl who delivered food, so she didn't pay much attention to it, but someone asked, "Sister Chuntao, how good is the black chicken soup?" Is there any left?"

"Oh, it's Miss Qingwen!"

Chuntao groaned, quickly jumped up from the small bench, laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you told me to make more black-bone chicken soup, how can we dare to be negligent on the stove?"

As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed to the casserole that was simmering over charcoal on the small stove next to him. "Look, this has been simmering slowly until now, and there are still about two or three bowls of it."

"I'm sorry, sister, please worry."

Qingwen took out dozens of large coins from her sleeve, and handed them forward, Chuntao was full of "I can't do it", but she had already squeezed the copper coins in her hand, and counted them roughly.

Finding that it was more than twice as much as what Third Sister You awarded last time, the smile on Chuntao's face became warmer and warmer.

She turned around and took out food boxes, spoons, chopsticks, etc. from the cupboard next to her, put the small casserole in it, and said with a smile, "The casserole on the left and right is not very big, so why not take it together, girl? It’s time to be free, and it’s not too late to send it back.”

Qingwen thanked her, and took the food box out of the small kitchen, but she neither went to the main room where she was gathering, nor went back to the west wing where she lived, but went straight to the outside of the courtyard.

"stop!"

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the dark corridor.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Fu Rong, the big maid next to Ruan Rong, coming out of the veranda, stopping in front of Qingwen with a sneer, she glanced at the food box with her narrow triangular eyes, and asked with her mouth curled up, "Where is the food in it?" What is it?"

As early as when Qingwen was in charge of taking care of Sun Chengyi, the two did not see each other, so seeing that she was blocking the way, Qingwen would not give her any good looks, so she looked at her coldly for a while, and finally Spit out three words, neither salty nor bland, "black chicken soup."

"what!"

Fu Rong originally lost a little bit of momentum in the stalemate just now, but when she heard the word 'black chicken soup', she immediately scolded, full of vitality, "this black chicken soup is from my aunt You are considerate of Aunt Zhen, so you let the stove simmer two bowls for her every day, how can it be your turn to steal a favor?"

Without waiting for Qingwen to refute, she sneered again, "Especially that Caixia is the family law ordered by the second master himself. You rushed to visit her so fast, but where did you put the second master?"

In fact, it was Xiangling's initiative to send black chicken soup to Caixia's health.

But seeing that Furong carried out Sun Shaozong first, Qingwen didn't want to use Xiangling as a shield, and was wondering if there was any other way, when suddenly someone behind her shouted, "Furong, where did you die just now? Don't dare to go back and serve!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Pomegranate rushing over in a hurry, without saying a word, he picked up Fu Rong, and ran into the main room.

Fu Rong staggered a few steps being pulled by her, and managed to stand still. She couldn't help but annoyed, "Why are you pulling me? This little hoof stole the black chicken soup from the kitchen and wants to..."

"To shut up!"

Shiliu scolded, but turned her head to please Qingwen, and smiled to Qingwen, "Sister, don't worry, this crazy girl has always heard that the wind is like rain, and she didn't mean to make things difficult for you."

As he spoke, he reminded diligently, "Although there are only a few steps to go, my sister should light up a lantern anyway. Otherwise, if we bump into each other, how can we get there?"

This remark confused Qingwen.

Although this pomegranate didn't target her everywhere like Fu Rong did, but he never gave her any good looks, but today he was yelling at her sister one by one, which was really puzzling.

Could it be that he was confused due to hysteria?

After watching Pomegranate and Furong go back to the main room, Qingwen was still confused and stood in the yard thinking for a long time before she remembered that she was going to send black chicken soup to Caixia.

So she temporarily suppressed the doubts in her heart, and hurried out of the small courtyard with the food box.

Going around all the way, I arrived at an unremarkable courtyard in the northwest corner, and saw a gray room at the far end, only a bean-sized oil lamp was lit, looking in through the window paper, it was as dim as a will-o'-the-wisp.

In this situation, although Qingwen has not seen the person yet, her mind is full of "desolate and desolate" portrayals.

What's the trouble with this?

To be honest, even though she was also in the Rongguo Mansion and had a sweetheart she couldn't let go of, Qingwen really couldn't understand Caixia's infatuation with Jia Huan.

In terms of character, knowledge, appearance, background, and future, which one of Jia Huan stands out?

Not to mention that he is only 11 years old now!

perhaps……

This is the legendary evil fate.

Shaking her head and sighing, Qingwen picked up the curtain and entered the inner room, then the faint light swept around the room, and only then did she find Caixia's figure on the hard bed in the northwest corner.

"Qingwen?"

At this time, Caixia had already found Qingwen, she got up from the bed sideways, and asked in surprise, "How did you come here?"

"Aunt Zhen heard that your injury has not healed quickly, so she specially asked me to bring some donkey-hide gelatin black-bone chicken soup that nourishes blood and nourishes qi."

While talking, Qingwen went to the hard bed and saw that there were no tables and chairs around, so she put the food box on the ground, pushed aside a corner of the mattress on the bed, took out the casserole and put it on, then put the chopsticks and Handed the spoon to Caixia.

"Here, it was still simmering with charcoal fire just now, you should drink more while it's hot."

Caixia held the spoon and chopsticks in a daze for a while, and then sighed quietly, "It's rare that she still remembers the old friendship."

"Yuanyang also remembers!"

Qingwen said angrily, "If she hadn't begged for mercy, you would still be chopping firewood and carrying water outside, how could you have the opportunity to help in the kitchen? But you are lucky, you have just arrived in the small kitchen... Forget it, you may not listen to what I say. "

In the middle of the talk, seeing Caixia's expression was calm, she suddenly lost interest, lifted the lid of the casserole, and explained, "If there is any leftover, you can put it under the bed first, and I will heat it up for you tomorrow—" —If someone asks, just push it on my head."

After speaking, he got up and went back to the backyard.

"Qingwen!"

Just as she was stepping in and out of the door, Caixia suddenly called out to her. Qingwen looked back suspiciously, but she heard Caixia say solemnly, "Second Master Bao is different from the third master. Without you by my side, I can do the same." Enjoy wealth and honor."

What does this mean?

Are you mocking yourself? !

Qingwen couldn't help but lower her face, and asked back, "What do you mean by that?"

"It doesn't mean anything else."

Only to hear Caixia say again, "I'm just thinking, as long as that person lives in peace and comfort, we slaves should be content, why bother to force anything?"

At first hearing these words, it seems a bit ridiculous—isn’t Caixia herself the one who really insists on something?

However, after careful consideration, although Caixia quarreled in front of Sun Shaozong twice, she never expected to return to Jia Huan's side.

Thinking of this, Qingwen suddenly became flustered, because she suddenly realized that her feelings for Baoyu were not as pure as Caixia's for Jia Huan!

And this is something she never wants to admit.

So flustered, she responded indiscriminately, and fled out in a panic.

When she reached the west wing of the backyard, Qingwen was in a mess. She sat in the living room in a daze for a long time, until she heard a few calls from her ear, and she realized that it was Xiangling who had returned from dinner.

"What's wrong with my sister?"

Xiangling asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Caixia said something unpleasant?"

"This... this is not."

Although Xiangling treated her like a sister, Qingwen didn't want Xiangling to know about her entanglement, so she forced a smile and said, "It's just that when I was leaving the house, I had a few words with that Furong, and I felt a little dissatisfied." It went well."

Hearing that it was about Ruan Rong's maidservant, Xiangling immediately became entangled. She wanted to persuade Qingwen to calm down, but she knew that her temperament would not change easily.

In desperation, he suddenly remembered what Ruan Rong had told him, and hurriedly said, "By the way, I have something urgent to discuss with my sister——when the second master entered the palace today to meet the saint, I got a piece of news. The imperial court may send the second master to Huguang to suppress the rebellion."

"This visit can range from one year to two or three. Naturally, the second master can't do without someone to take care of him—but Sister Ruan and I have to take care of the children at home, and only Aunt You can go south with the second master."

"However, Aunt You was worried that the little maid around her would not be able to take good care of her, so she specially recommended her sister..."

"She recommended me? Why?!"

Qingwen was stunned when she heard this. She had never had anything to do with Second Sister You. It was for no reason. How could Second Sister You suddenly recommend herself to go out as an official with Sun Shaozong?

Xiangling pursed her lips into a smile, and said narrowly, "Sister is always smart, why is she so confused at this time? I think it will be justifiable when I call 'Sister' again after the second master wins and returns to court."

After hearing this, Qingwen didn't understand?

Obviously, the word "serve" is not just serving tea and pouring water, making beds and folding quilts.

The reason why Second Sister You recommended herself was because she was afraid of making Ruan Rong jealous. After all, Aunt Zhao had learned a lot from the past; a favor.

No wonder Pomegranate's attitude changed drastically before, and she was also afraid that she would take revenge on the two of them if she ascended to the sky in one step!

only……
