Detective in the Red Chamber

This "self-blaming and self-blaming" made Xiren dumbfounded. He was waiting to check the palm print with distress, but he saw Jia Baoyu stretched out his hand to hold Qingwen, and said softly, "Good sister, you are hiding it like this. If you don't want to tell me clearly, how can I know your daily difficulties?"

Qingwen is the one who prefers softness to toughness, she had a stubborn face at first, but when she heard this, the teardrops immediately broke, but she still refused to give in, "I asked for this, Is there any suffering or not? I just hope that the second master will not act recklessly for no reason, and we lowly bastards will be thankful."

She said 'bitch', but her neck was straighter than anyone else's.

Jia Baoyu gave a self-conscious smile, but then became serious. First, he pulled Qingwen to sit on the bedside, and then pushed Xiren to sit on the bedside. Then, under the inexplicable eyes of the two maids, he said seriously, "Just now. It was said that there was no reason for the outbreak, but in fact there were some reasons."

"What reason?"

Qingwen asked indignantly, "I just accidentally dropped the fan, and I even connected the glass jar and agate bowl..."

"Look, look, what you said is the reason!"

As Jia Baoyu said, he walked back and forth a few steps in front of the two of them, then sighed again, and said quietly, "Do you still remember the situation when I checked the accounts last year?"

How could the two of them forget this?

At that time, because they were implicated by their family members, they were almost kicked out of Rongguo Mansion!

Not to mention that Lai Da, who was in power for a while, also lost his life in this turmoil.

But it's all good, why did you suddenly bring up the matter of last year's audit?

Xiren said cautiously, "Of course we remember that incident. Since then, we have specifically explained it to our family members, and never dare to use the name of the second master to take advantage of our house."

"That's not what I'm going to talk about today."

Baoyu waved his hand, stretched out three fingers, and asked in a sly voice, "Do you know how much the broken utensils and things have been worth in the past two or three years?"

The two exchanged glances, then shook their heads in unison.

He heard Baoyu say in a deep voice, "You don't know, but Lai Da's account clearly remembers that in the two years and five months since I lived alone, all the objects worth 700 taels of silver have been ruined in our house." !"

"what?!"

"There are so many?!"

Although Qingwen and Xiren had already guessed that the number would not be too small, they did not expect the number to be so amazing!

One must know that if this sum of money is used sparingly, it will be enough for a hundred families to eat for two and a half years!

Such a large sum of money was wasted in a bewildering manner, and what was exchanged was only a few sighs, a few light "accidental" and "not paying attention"...

After a long while, Xi Renfang breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a trembling voice, "It's all my fault, I just treat it as a plaything, and I don't pay attention to reminding me usually, how could I have created such a big karma..."

"No!"

Qingwen gritted her silver teeth, bent her knees and knelt on the ground, raised her neck and said, "On weekdays, I like to spoil things the most. If the second master wants to punish me, please punish me! Only by punishing me severely first can the people below be punished." A few monkey spirits also have a long memory!"

Seeing this, Xiren wanted to kneel down to speak, but Jia Baoyu pulled him up one by one, shaking his head and laughing, "Look at you, I didn't say this to settle old scores, but to let everyone be careful, don't Don't waste things indiscriminately -- after all, the mansion is only superficially rich now, and secretly owes a lot of famine."

After a pause, he resolutely said, "The others are not going to pay back the money, but I must pay it back in the future!"

Seeing that Qingwen was still blaming herself, he curled his lips and said, "Furthermore, the things you ruined can still have as much as my fraction? If you are severely punished, will I still be able to live?"

Only then did Qingwen stop talking.

The three of them looked at each other, feeling closer to each other.

Xiren, in particular, was always looking forward to Baoyu's progress, but now that he had said such words, he felt very upset--if Qingwen hadn't been by her side, she might have said it. Baoyu went to bed and put on many tricks that she would not normally do, to wrap him up for him.

"what?"

At this moment, Qiu Wen suddenly came in from the outside, wondering, "What's wrong with you?"

"No way."

Only then did the three let go of each other, and asked in unison tacitly, "It's you, who ran in in such a hurry, is there something wrong?"

"Ah~ I almost forgot the business!"

Qiu Wen slapped his forehead, and said anxiously, "Ms. Shi is here, and she is talking to the old lady now - the old lady knows that you haven't seen each other for a long time, so she specially sent someone to call the second master over!"

"Sister Shi is here?!"

Jia Baoyu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately left the room excitedly, but after running a few steps, he suddenly became entangled again——should I mention the matter of the 'kylin' to Shi Xiangyun?

Chapter 360

But Baoyu was tangled all the way to Jiamu's house.

Seeing that Shi Xiangyun said some jokes, the amusing old lady laughed, poked a finger on her forehead twice, and said, "Nowadays, they are all big girls who are looked after by others, why are you still like this?" Monkeys don't seem to be upright?"

"Ancestor!"

Shi Xiangyun came forward to make trouble for her in embarrassment.

The grandfather and grandson were playing around, when Jia Baoyu came in from the outside and asked anxiously, "Which family wants to see Sister Yun? Could it be... Could it be..."

He was still saying 'Could it be' here, but Wang Xifeng on the other side burst out laughing, stepped forward and nudged Jia Mu with his elbow, and jokingly said, "The monkey's matter is really what the monkey is most concerned about—you Look at how anxious Brother Bao is, he almost climbed up the tree and scratched his head!"

Jia Mu was happy again, but said in her mouth, "They have been stubborn together since they were young, and it is common sense to worry about each other."

"It's still the old ancestor who is sensible, unlike Sister Feng, who is dedicated and loves to entertain people."

Jia Baoyu rolled Wang Xifeng's eyes pretending to be unhappy, and walked up to Shi Xiangyun, hesitant to speak.

Shi Xiangyun's face was already flushed when he heard the word "xiangjian". Seeing Baoyu's appearance again, he was afraid that he would ask more questions, so he rushed to say, "I haven't been here for a long time. What's the fun?"

Just as Baoyu was about to answer, someone behind him said crisply, "There is really a rare thing right now!"

Everyone looked back, but it was Lin Daiyu who came in from the outside, first saluted Jiamu, and then smiled at Shi Xiangyun, "Sister Miaoyu brought back an ugly and ugly girl from Shuntian Mansion the day before yesterday. Raise her on my own."

"really?!"

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he immediately became interested, went up to hold Lin Daiyu's arm, and shook it uncontrollably, "My dear sister, please take me over to have a look—Sister Miaoyu looks like a fairy on weekdays." , but I don't know what it will be like to bring a child!"

"Your good sister is still on Zijin Street, I dare not take her title."

Lin Daiyu made a half-true and half-fake sour sentence, and then she accused Jiamu again, and led Shi Xiangyun out of the flower hall.

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu naturally chased him out like flying.

However, along the way, Jia Baoyu's heart was like a hundred claws scratching his heart. Seeing that he had entered the gate of the province's relatives' hospital, and the maidservant behind was still some distance away, he couldn't help but go up and ask, "Sister Yun, But I don't know which one it is?"

Shi Xiangyun clearly knew what he was asking, but he had the nerve to respond, and just pretended to be stupid and said in a daze, "Which one?"

"If you don't tell me, I actually know it!"

Jia Baoyu blurted out, "The one who wants to see you is the second elder brother of the Sun family, right?"

"Second brother of the Sun family?"

When Shi Xiangyun heard the words, he pouted his small mouth, and said angrily, "Second elder brother didn't listen to the rumors, but he is talking nonsense to me!"

Not Second Brother Sun?

Jia Baoyu was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly said, "It turns out that the second brother of the Wei family is looking at you!"

Princess Beijing has been arranging the marriage between the Wei and Shi families, and Jia Baoyu has known about it for a long time, but in this way...

Isn't the so-called "Kirin Fate" just empty talk?

To say that Baoyu's thoughts are also weird, when he found out about the "Qilin Fate Method" before, he was very disappointed, but now he heard that the "Qirin Fate Method" was a falsehood, but he felt extremely regretful.

Those who have been scratching their ears and cheeks all the time almost stomp their feet and beat their chests.

Shi Xiangyun looked puzzled, but Lin Daiyu guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help laughing and said, "It's not that he heard some rumors, but saw a rare object, so he decided that Brother Sun and you are destined."

"Object? What object?"

"Here."

Lin Daiyu pointed at her neck and said, "Isn't it the unicorn you carry with you every day?"

As he spoke, he roughly told Shi Xiangyun the story of how Sun Shaozong happened to choose the 'Kirin' during the ritual ceremony at Qingxu Temple that day.

Finally, he said, "I heard from Sister Bao that the unicorn is the same as the one you brought, but it is a little bigger - when you 'love brother' sees it, you will regard it as some kind of 'fate', so you have to pay attention to it." I have been sighing for several days."

"Where have I ever sighed?!"

Jia Baoyu defended with a red face, while Shi Xiangyun pinched the unicorn in his skirt, but was dazed.

In the "Huaben Xiwen" that is circulated nowadays, most of the talented men and beautiful women are made up of small playthings, such as mandarin ducks, phoenixes, jade rings and golden pebbles, or scorpion sash, all of which are drawn by small things. In the end, it was set for life.

But nowadays, the daughter of a rich family, who doesn't leave the door all day long, wants to understand the relationship between men and women, doesn't she just point to this "story book and drama"?

Therefore, I am most obsessed with these things.

Even though Xiangyun was still young, holding the unicorn now, he couldn't help but make up a romantic story, and his fair little face immediately became a little more flushed.

When Lin Daiyu saw it, she pulled Baoyu to take a closer look.

Unexpectedly, Shi Xiangyun's face suddenly lost color again, and he shook his head sadly, "Why is it predestined by the law? Only then can we get to Changcui Temple?"

As he said that, he hurried a few steps and walked towards Changcui Temple.

Seeing her leaving just like that suddenly, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu looked at each other in disbelief.

In the end, it was Sister Lin who was more thoughtful, sighed and said, "The Wei family is ready to see her, so what if we talk about 'fate' at this time? It's okay to influence helpless little girls like us." It can only be at the mercy of others."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but see some water in her eyes when she extended her words to others.

"Why didn't you rely on it? Why didn't you rely on it?!"

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu immediately patted his chest and said brazenly, "The ready-made reliance is here! If Sister Yun is determined to accept this fate, so what if I go all out to protect this big matchmaker for her?"

But how could Lin Daiyu listen to his 'crazy talk'?

He took off the handkerchief earlier, and while wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he hurried to chase Shi Xiangyun away.

Baoyu stomped his feet and beat his chest again, saying "ruthless" for a while, seeing that the two were getting further and further away, he had no choice but to chase after them resentfully.

When they got near Changcui Nunnery and looked in through the low fence, the three of them couldn't believe their eyes.

But it turned out that in the open space in front of the Buddhist hall, Miaoyu, who had always been calm, pure and desolate, rolled up her sleeves and trousers legs, squatting on the ground like a village woman, rubbing her diaper.

The three of them stood in front of the nunnery for a long time in a daze, until Miaoyu dried the diapers one by one, and then returned inside with a basin, Jia Baoyu was the first to come to his senses, he beat his chest and said, "Fenqin Boiled cranes, really burning zithers and boiling cranes! Originally, she looked like a fairy, but how could...how could..."

As he spoke, he waved his hands and said, "Go in if you want, but I really can't bear to see her like this."

Seeing the scene just now, Lin and Shi Ernv also felt a little disillusioned. Seeing Baoyu talking like this, they whispered to each other a few words, then sighed and turned back the way they came.

Chapter 361

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

Nine sticks and bronze gongs cleared the way, guarded by yamen servants carrying street cleaning whips, and several people in the back were holding plaques for evasion and silence, as well as pumpkins, axes and canopies, and there were more than [-] people in the front and back.

This battle was not insignificant, but what was guarded in the center was only a small blue woolen sedan chair carried by two people.

If there were ordinary people inside, two people would barely be enough to carry them, but Sun Shaozong was sitting inside, so the two bearers came out of Shuntian Mansion, hissing and panting not too far away.

But there is no way, who made the court stipulate that the fifth-rank officials can only be carried by two people, so it is not appropriate to go out without a sedan chair today?

However, hearing the two bearers outside were panting more and more, Sun Shaozong was really afraid that they would be exhausted, so he raised his hand to raise the curtain of the sedan chair, and asked Zhao Wuwei, who was guarding the side, "Zhao Butou, how far is it from Jishuitan now?" ?”

He set up a full set of ceremonial guards today, in order to go to the vicinity of Jishuitan and host this year's Dragon Boat Festival with the officials of the Ministry of Rites. In fact, this was originally the task of Jia Yucun. Sun Shaozong replaced him.

"It's not too far, just turn two or three streets and you'll be there."

Zhao Wuwei responded, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly added, "But the platform is on the other side, and I'm afraid it will take another detour."

Before the words were finished, the bearer in front staggered and almost threw the sedan chair out.

"Stop the car!"

Sun Shaozong immediately yelled to stop the sedan chair, and the two bearers at the front and back seemed to hear the sound of heaven, hurriedly unloaded the sedan chair from their shoulders, and sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

"Stop, all stop!"

Zhao Wuwei greeted back and forth hurriedly, causing the whole team to stop, and then heard a rustling sound in the sedan chair, and then Sun Shaozong ordered from inside, "Don't move the stick, just carry the sedan chair to the nearby alley." go."

Although the two bearers were somewhat puzzled, but the master explained, they could only grit their teeth and carried the sedan chair on their shoulders, trembling to the nearby alley.

Sun Shaozong yelled to stop the sedan chair again, and asked Zhao Wuwei to disperse the people who came to watch, and then he got out of the sedan chair in a short skirt and small attire.

"Sir, you are..."

Zhao Wuwei and the two bearers were immediately dumbfounded.

Sun Shaozong tidied up the broken hair on his sideburns, and said indifferently, "It's hot and stuffy for me inside, so I might as well come down and take a few steps. When you carry my official uniform and official hat to the Jishuitan, I won't be able to sit on it again." Late."

The two porters knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said, "My lord, how can this be done?! Little people..."
