Detective in the Red Chamber

"Come in, brother-in-law!"

Third Sister Nayou stepped forward to let Sun Shaozong in, and looked out a few times expectantly, seeing that Sun Shaozong was alone, she asked in frustration, "Brother-in-law hasn't informed Liu Lang of the location of this place yet?"

"When I go to Wangjianglou to listen to the opera tomorrow, it won't be too late to inform him."

As Sun Shaozong spoke, he entered the hall without hesitation.

At this time, Second Sister You had already heard the movement, she hurriedly put on her face and came out to greet her, and said shyly, "I have seen the master before."

Mrs. You also rubbed her hands and followed from outside, and said with a happy smile, "Second master must have just come out of the yamen, right? I don't know what you want to eat today, little lady, go now..."

"Don't be too busy, I just need to explain a few words and I'm going back."

Sun Shaozong waved his hand and said sternly, "In the past few days, you'd better not go out casually, especially don't meet people in Ningguo Mansion."

Both the mother and daughter of the You family had heard about the conflict in Wangjiang Tower, and they also knew that there was no room for both ends. Besides, compared to the uncertain future in Ningguo Mansion, Sun Shaozong's side was naturally safer.

So both the mother and daughter agreed in a hurry.

Only Third Sister You pouted, "If Liu Lang came to look for me, wouldn't it be considered going out casually?"

Sun Shaozong ignored her, turned his head and said to Second Sister You, "Tomorrow morning, you should dress up plainly, maybe I will send someone to pick you up to watch a play in Wangjiang Tower, when the two concubines in my family will be there, you should be careful first." Waiting for a good relationship, I will formally take you back home in a few days."

If this is told to Third Sister You, I'm afraid there will be some moths.

But Second Sister You is soft-tempered, especially since she had already handed over her body to Sun Shaozong for 'inspection' inside and outside that day. At this time, she was only thinking about marrying into the Sun family, so she obediently obeyed Sun Shaozong's orders, and there was no other word .

Seeing her so well-behaved and sensible, Sun Shaozong was very satisfied, so he casually took out a golden hairpin that he had prepared a long time ago from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Second Sister You, "I saw you that day and there were not many decent ones. Jewelry, take a look at this hairpin first, if you think the style of carving is not bad, I will send you a pair of head jewelry in two days, so that it will look more beautiful when I bring you in."

Second Sister You was overjoyed when she saw that the hairpin was full of weight and inlaid with a lot of agate and emeralds. How could she care about the style of carving?

He had already stuck his tall and plump body into Sun Shaozong's arms. If Sun Shaozong hadn't had some concentration, he might have been hooked into him by her, and would play a game regardless.

By the way, this Second Sister You is gentle and timid, but she is bold and reckless in the bed, and she doesn't pay attention to 'propriety'. In the future, when Xiangling gives birth to children, you might as well gather them together and enjoy them together. Those who fly together...

Nope!

If you keep thinking so wildly, you will really have to go.

Hardened his heart and pushed Second Sister You away, Sun Shaozong strode out of the courtyard gate, turned on his horse and galloped a long way, looking back, he could still see Second Sister You standing outside the door like a stone watcher.

It really is a cute one!

There was nothing to say all the way, but he said that when Sun Shaozong arrived at the mansion, he heard Zhao Zhongji report that it was Jia Qiang from Ningguo Mansion who had come and was talking to Big Brother Cheap in the living room at this time.

As soon as he heard that it was Jia Qiang who had come, Sun Shaozong guessed that the Ningguo Mansion had the intention of giving in and begging for peace—after all, Jia Qiang was the most tactful person and never said any harsh words.

Sure enough, when they got near the front hall, they heard Big Brother Cheap laughed heartily inside, apparently having a good chat with Jia Qiang.

But after entering the door, Sun Shaozong couldn't help being stunned, because besides Big Brother Cheap and Jia Qiang, there were actually five or six women in that room, all of whom were concubines in Brother Cheap's house.

"Brother, this is..."

"Ha ha……"

Sun Shaozu laughed, pointed at Jia Qiang and said, "Don't look at Brother Qiang's young age, but his ability is really not small. He can tell the depth from the appearance of his face. I just guessed a few and all of them are right!"

Sun Shaozong was speechless for a while, and really didn't want to answer the question, so he asked straight to the point, "Brother Qiang, you came here today, don't you want to speak for your uncle?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the second uncle of the Sun family."

Jia Qiang smiled and bowed and said, "Actually, we are all relatives, why bother to embarrass each other? According to me, it is a great thing for the second aunt of the You family to marry. Wouldn't it be better for the two families to get closer from now on?" ?!"

As he said that, he took out a pair of jade rings from the sleeve, and said with a grin, "This is a gift I prepared for my second aunt. Now that the trouble is like this, it's not convenient to see her, so I just ask my second uncle to do it for you." Pass it on."

This is also a 'sensible'!

It's a pity that the Ningguo Mansion will be passed on to Jia Rong in the future, otherwise if Jia Qiang is made the head of the family, there may be a chance to revive the family.

Chapter 384 Embarrassment

Can't sleep all night.

When the first ray of sunlight slanted into the boudoir in the morning, the You sisters were already busy in front of the dressing table.

First, smudge the thick but not brilliant rouge on the lips, and use the tip of the pen to outline a pleasing arc; then take out some apricot-colored powder, break it into fine powder, mix with some warm water, and evenly Apply to face.

Those eyebrows, those eyes, those temples...

All are finely polished, so that there is no place that is not exquisite, but it must appear plain and unflattering.

It is not an easy task to master the scale of this. Fortunately, Third Sister You has always been good at this. With her doing it herself, the grooming and dressing up can be done with half the effort.

It's just that when choosing clothes at the end, the two sisters had some disputes.

However, with the help of her younger sister, Second Sister You held up a long skirt that was all white in snow and satin, and only dyed some light blue at the corners of the skirt, stepped back a few steps, and posed a few poses in front of the bronze mirror. His face suddenly flushed red, he shook his head decisively and said, "This dress is no good, let's change it!"

"Why not?"

Third Sister You said dissatisfiedly, "I lent you this skirt because my sister said to dress plainly—isn't this dress plain enough?"

"At first glance, it looks pretty plain."

Second Sister You blushed and said, "But when you wear this skirt on me, it's too tight. If you don't believe me, look——"

As she said that, she turned her body slightly, only to see the slender waist drooping, and the back of the skirt raised two plump outlines, although it can't be called complete, but it is even more seductive in the haze.

Second Sister You straightened up again, then went to unbutton her neckline, and said, "I'd better wear my own, it fits better anyway."

Unexpectedly, Third Sister You quit, stepped forward and clasped her wrist, curled her lips and said, "They don't like your festive attire, could it be that you can control even your figure? It's just to show how good-looking your sister is." Buttocks, to prevent them from wantonly bullying my sister just because they have children by their side!"

Second Sister You is willing to listen to her nonsense?

She insisted on changing the skirt, but Third Sister You blindly stopped her. The two sisters were making a fuss here, and Mrs. You came in from outside with a bowl of chicken soup. The person who is about to leave the cabinet, how can he still be so nonsense?"

Saying that, he drove away Third Sister You, put the chicken soup on the dressing table, pinched her earlobe and urged, "I asked Mama Wu to stew an old hen before dawn, drink it while it's hot, so as not to worry about it." It's too late to eat."

But Second Sister You looked at the chicken soup with a look of embarrassment on her face, and said hesitantly, "It was so hard to get my sister to hook up the rouge. If I drink this chicken soup, won't I have to..."

"Good girl, don't be afraid, I've already prepared here!"

After speaking, Mrs. You took out a reed stalk from her sleeve, inserted it into the chicken soup, and said triumphantly, "As long as you handle it carefully, you won't be afraid of spoiling your makeup."

Only then did Second Sister You feel relieved, and picked up the reed stalk to stir the chicken soup, and when the heat subsided a little, she pursed her tender red lips and sucked it secretively.

After drinking about half a bowl of chicken soup like this, she felt that the tight skirt on her body was becoming more and more uncomfortable, and she was about to change out of her clothes before continuing to drink the rest of the chicken soup.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two buttons were unbuttoned, a woman outside raised her voice and said, "Dare to ask if the second girl in the house is at home? Our second master invited the second girl to watch an opera in Wangjiang Tower."

"At home, at home!

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. You's cheerful voice "Second Sister, Second Sister, come out!"

The second sister You panicked inside, and hurriedly helped her younger sister to put on some rouge, but she couldn't change any more clothes, so she just stuck the golden hairpin given by Sun Shaozong on her head, and rushed out to greet her.

The woman was chatting with Mrs. You in the courtyard, and seeing Second Sister You coming out of the house, she looked her up and down, and then praised, "Second Miss is indeed a good-looking woman, no wonder she can fall into the eyes of our Second Master." .”

Second Sister You's face turned red, and she saluted gracefully, "Mom is absurd."

The old lady hurriedly returned the salute, and then asked Mrs. You if she could go on the road immediately, so as not to delay for a long time, and what happened to Wangjiang Tower.

Naturally, Mrs. You agreed with all her mouth, and then took Second Sister You to give her a careful warning, telling her to act cautiously, and not to offend the two aunts who had children by her side.

When her daughter obediently responded, she and the old woman helped Second Sister You out of the courtyard.

When I got outside, I saw a sedan chair carried by two people on the stone steps in front of the door.

The bearer in the green coat and cap lowered the horizontal bar, and Second Sister You, holding the hem of her skirt, stepped over the bar with a little difficulty, and sat in the sedan chair gracefully.

The woman said 'crime' to Mrs. You again, and raised her voice to order, "get up the sedan chair~!"

The sedan chair trembled on its shoulders and rushed towards Wangjiang Tower.

Speechless all the way.

But when it came to Wangjiang Tower, there were already no empty seats upstairs and downstairs. Although Second Sister You followed the woman into the corner gate, she still had to go through the lobby to go up to the second floor.

When going up the stairs, she stepped out step by step, and felt that her hips were tightly wrapped, obviously showing her 'true face' - although no one could see it clearly, she was so ashamed that she almost fell off the stairs Going down, I don't know how to blame Third Sister You hundreds of times.

After finally reaching the upper floor, Second Sister You's face was already charcoal red, and she followed the woman into a private room in a trance. Seeing a few beautiful women sitting on the front of the balcony, she didn't think much about it. He hastily bowed and said, "Second Sister You has seen the two aunts."

As soon as the words fell, a tall and burly servant girl snorted and said, "You are so unreasonable. Our eldest wife is here, why did you meet the two aunts first?"

The eldest wife of the Sun family is here? !

Second Sister You became more and more flustered, she couldn't tell which one was Jia Yingchun for a moment, she just gave a deep blessing in panic, and said, "Second Sister You met the old lady..."

hiss~

Who would have thought that her movement was so big that the tight skirt couldn't bear the weight, and there was a slit two fingers wide in response!

Although the inside is still covered with a lining, it won't be really happy, but the shy Second Sister You is still at a loss, and she doesn't know what to do with her buttocks.

The few maids in the room couldn't help covering their mouths and snickering, pointing at her buttocks, and the more embarrassing Second Sister You burst into tears

Only Xiang Ling saw it from the side, showing a bit of unbearable expression on her face, but in front of Jia Yingchun and Ruan Rong, she dared not take the initiative to rescue Second Sister You.

"All right!"

At this moment, Ruan Rong scolded, and all the maids stopped sniggering, but the chess player not only refused to restrain himself, but laughed out loud as a demonstration.

"Siqi!"

Jia Yingchun hurriedly scolded her, intending to explain a few words to Ruan Rong, but after all, she had a different identity, so she could only smile at her embarrassedly and apologetically.

Although Ruan Rong was dissatisfied with the behavior of the chess player, she really couldn't control her, so she had no choice but to pretend nothing happened, stepped forward to support Second Sister You, and said softly, "There are no outsiders in the left and right of our house. You don't have to be ashamed, I'll ask someone to fetch two pieces of clothes later, and I'll change them with you."

As he spoke, he pulled Second Sister You to the balcony, ordered the maid to fetch a chair, and let Second Sister You sit beside him.

Ruan Rong did not feel sorry for Second Sister You, but for the sake of Sun Shaozong's face. After all, Second Sister You will be brought into the mansion to be an aunt in two days. It may not be pretty either.

And Second Sister You borrowed a chair to cover the 'shaming place', and then she recovered a bit, and thanked Ruan Rong without a word.

Ruan Rong saw that she was submissive and thanked her sincerely, not like a seductive woman who is used to being jealous, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As someone who came here, I was about to tell Second Sister You some rules about being a concubine, but suddenly I heard a crisp "crash" from the next door, and someone dropped the cup and plate!

Ruan Rong couldn't care about Second Sister You immediately, she jumped up suddenly, and exchanged glances with Jia Yingchun who also stood up straight.

Seeing that the 'Eldest Wife' was biting her cherry lips tightly, and didn't intend to give an order, Ruan Rong had no choice but to order on her behalf, "Pomegranate, go to the next door and find out what's going on between the uncle, the second master, and Master Jia." !"

It turned out that today besides Sun Shaozong, Big Brother Cheap also came to join in the fun - that's not the case, Jia Yingchun couldn't come alone.

And when he heard that all the brothers from the Sun family had arrived here, Jia Amnesty hurried over to prove that the Sun and Jia families were not divided by the conflict of the previous two days.

It was precisely because of this that Jia Yingchun and Ruan Rong were so nervous when they heard something falling next door.

The pomegranate took the order, hurried to the next door to inquire about the news, and came back after a while to report, "Master Jia seems to have been cheated by some profiteer, and now he is so angry that he smashed his wine glass and is urging our second master Hurry up and get someone."

But it turned out that after Jia Amnesty arrived, he mentioned the sale of the 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' within a few words, and urged Sun Shaozu to take out the money quickly, taking advantage of the market to make a fortune.

Sun Shaozong listened to it, and then asked about the quality of those 'golden shells', whether they were top grade or middle grade.

Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty was stunned by these words, he only knew that someone sold 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' and made a lot of money, so he thought of taking the opportunity to make a fortune, but he knew nothing about the way of doing it.

After listening to Sun Shaozong's brief explanation of the differences between the three types of gold shells, Jia She knew that he had encountered a profiteer who was "shoddy" and was immediately annoyed. He smashed his wine glass and urged Sun Shaozong to get someone.

If it were different, Sun Shaozong might not be able to do what he wanted, but now Sun Shaozong is also investigating the 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' matter, so he hit it off with Jia Amnesty, asked the businessman's name and where he lived, and called a few white people nearby. Get people before the battle.

Chapter 385

The door was divided to the left and right, and a middle-aged man was carried in by two white servants, pushed him heavily to the ground, and reported, "Master, the criminal has been brought!"

Sun Shaozong raised his hand to signal the two to step aside, then lowered his head to look at the so-called 'profiteer', but saw that this man was in his early thirties, with dark skin and a thin figure, wrapped in a coarse cloth, looking at him for nothing A wealthy businessman is more like a coolie in a black coal mine.

The 'profiteer' fell heavily, but he didn't dare to cry out for the pain, he hurriedly got up and grabbed his head and said, "Master Qingtian clearly judged that the villain has always obeyed the law and never done anything harmful to nature! "

slap~

Before Sun Shaozong could speak, Jia Amnesty slapped the table and scolded angrily, "You bastard! You have deceived the master by bluffing and deceiving, how dare you say 'observe the law'?!"

The black and skinny profiteer saw Jia Amnesty at this time, he was stunned for a while, and then he called out, "Master Jia, what are you talking about? Even a villain is so courageous, he dare not lie to him." Master Jia, you!"

"How dare you say you didn't lie to me?!"

The more Jia She said, the more annoyed he got, so he simply stood up, walked up to him with his stomach full, kicked the black and skinny businessman on his back, pointed at his nose and cursed, "Where are the five hundred Taozhu Jinbei?" What kind of quality is it, don’t you know it in your mind? How dare you fool me, saying that you can make a fortune by handing it over!”

The black and thin businessman didn't dare to get up when he saw his frowning and staring eyes. He just turned his head up to the sky, stretched his neck like a turtle and cried, "The old man really wronged the villain. That Jinbei has already grown up." When it comes to five taels of silver a piece, the villain offers four taels of silver, wouldn't it be possible to make a fortune by flipping hands?"

"As for the fineness..."

"The villain has never told Mr. Jia that those are top-grade 'Tao Zhu Jin Bei'!"

Before he finished speaking, Jia Amnesty kicked him up again, and scolded, "How dare you continue to talk nonsense now? Don't you dare to shut up!"
