Detective in the Red Chamber

Sun Shaozong was so entangled by him that he had no choice but to gather his energy and pick up the one that could speak without hurting his stomach, and used it to satisfy his curiosity.

Just as we were talking about the discovery of a headless female corpse in the county government, but jumped out of the case claimed by the two families, the little girl just turned back and came forward and said, "Second Master Bao, the old ancestor heard that Master Sun is here with you. Let the slaves and Master Sun invite you to talk - and say that they are all relatives, and there is nothing to shy away from in front of the old man."

Jia Baoyu was a bit reluctant when he heard the words, but Sun Shaozong couldn't wait to see what kind of character this legendary "Grandma Liu" was.

So he got up and asked pretendingly, "I don't know my sister-in-law, but where is the old lady?"

"It's here, it's here!"

The little maid nodded hurriedly, "Grandma came out of the old man's courtyard and went to pay her respects to the ancestors. Now she is chatting with Miss Bao, Miss Smith and others in the green gauze closet."

"That's the case."

Sun Shaozong turned his head and said solemnly, "I really should go and have a look. After all, it's the first time for my sister-in-law to go back to her mother's house after being upset. If she is happy and neglects her body for a while, it must not be allowed."

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu had no choice but to get up and go to Jiamu's place with him.

Speechless all the way.

But when it came to Jia Mu's room, after going up to pay respects, he never saw the legendary Grandma Liu. Baoyu scanned her mouth and found out that she was led by Ping'er to take a bath and change clothes, and she was about to come back soon.

Just as he was talking, Jia Yingchun came out from the green gauze closet, and he and Sun Shaozong met each other, and Sun Shaozong, as his brother-in-law, reminded her to take care of herself.

In fact, before coming here, Sun Shaozong secretly confessed these words once, and now he mentions them again in front of others, which makes Jia Yingchun feel a little ashamed. Can can cover up the past.

But at this time Wang Xifeng also came out from the inside, jokingly said with a smile, "When I said it just now, you stopped me straight away, what's going on now? Don't say that my uncle is thinking about it, even my uncle is afraid that you will bump into me at our house." Come on, isn't this just like a baby!"

There was no other meaning in these words, but the speaker didn't intend to listen to the listener, Jia Yingchun's heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her head with a blushing face, and buried it in her growing chest.

Sun Shaozong was afraid that people would see his flaws, so he hurriedly laughed and said, "Second sister-in-law is right. My brother is nearly forty years old, and he finally got this child. Naturally, he is very precious."

Wang Xifeng giggled coquettishly, her red phoenix eyes rolled around, but she was thinking about how to distract others, and asked Sun Shaozong for the bonus.

But before she could come up with an idea, Ping'er outside the door led Grandma Liu in.

But I saw that the old lady was wearing silk and satin, and she couldn't even walk comfortably. She grinned and showed her yellow teeth, and said, "It's expensive, it's really expensive, the old woman is so cheap, how can she afford such clothes?" Good clothes?"

"Aren't those clothes just for people to wear? As long as they fit well, it doesn't cost money!"

Mother Jia greeted her with a smile, and called Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others to come out and meet Grandma Liu one by one.

Every time a person was mentioned, Grandma Liu bowed and bowed again and again, and said something about "fairies descending to earth" and "immortals reincarnated", which made everyone laugh again and again.

After introducing the young lady in Rongguo Mansion, Mother Jia pointed to Sun Shaozong again and said, "This is my uncle's brother. Now he is in the Shuntian Mansion. His name is Sun Shaozong. I think you should have heard of him." .”

Although Grandma Liu didn't know what Zhizhong was, her eyes widened when she heard the word 'Sun Shaozong', and she was about to kneel down in front of Sun Shaozong.

Sun Shaozong was quick-sighted, he quickly reached out to support her, and said with a smile, "It's not in the courtroom now, Sun doesn't dare to kneel like an old man."

"Due it, deserve it!"

Being supported by Sun Shaozong on the shoulders, Grandma Liu's hands and feet trembled with excitement, "You don't know the name of Master Sun in Qingtian?! It is said that you are always the reincarnation of Bao Longtu, and you will also be the king of Yama in the future. Unexpectedly... …Unexpectedly, he is also a relative of this family!"

Hearing her talk about the rumor that Sun Shaozong would become the King of Yama in the future, the hall couldn't help bursting into laughter again.

Sun Shaozong didn't realize it and smiled, he was a master who had seen it before, so he wouldn't think the old lady was vulgar, so he personally helped her to sit on the lower seat, which made Grandma Liu even say 'no way'.

Others just watched the fun, but Jia Mu looked at the little ones, and they all respected Grandma Liu, and only Sun Shaozong treated her warmly, without the slightest appearance of being superior to a wealthy family.

She couldn't help but secretly sighed a few times, hoping that Jia Yuanchun could win a man in the palace all the more.

But grandma Liu sat down anxiously and answered a few words with Jia Mu, and then she regained some energy, picked up the interesting ones carefully, and said it vividly in the language of the lower Liba people.

Have Jia Baoyu and others heard these words?

Feeling better than those books written by Mr. Blind, each of them leaned forward and back together only laughing, forgetting the initial impatience.

On the contrary, Sun Shaozong heard that the old lady's words were well-organized, and when she talked about the sophistication of the world, she also had some insights. It was by no means vulgar on the surface. Let everyone laugh and have fun.

Although Grandma Liu is a savage, she was born with some knowledge. Besides, she is old and has experienced all the changes in the world. Seeing Mother Jia happy, these brothers and sisters also love to listen, even if there is nothing to say, they still have to make up something. In words.

Because he said, "We plant land and vegetables in our village. Every day, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, in the wind and rain, there is a sitting space. Every day, we build a pavilion for resting horses on the head of the field. What's so strange?" I haven't seen anything."

"Just like last winter, it snowed for several days in a row, and the ground was three or four feet deep. I got up early that day, and I heard the sound of firewood outside before I left the room—I thought someone must have stolen firewood. , peeking through the window, but they are not from our village.”

Jia Mu said, "It must be that the passing guests are cold. Seeing the ready-made firewood, there is also some firewood to take back to warm the fire."

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "I'm not a guest, so it's strange, who is the old birthday star? But it turned out to be a very beautiful little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with slick hair, wearing a big red jacket, and white clothes. Aya skirt──”

As soon as I said this, I suddenly heard people outside shouting, and said, "It's irrelevant, don't scare the old lady."

After hearing this, Jia Mu and others hurriedly called the servants to come in to find out what happened.

Then I heard a servant girl reply, "There was water in the stable in the south yard, it's nothing to do with it, it's been rescued."

Mother Jia was the most timid. After hearing this, she quickly got up and helped people out to the porch to have a look.

Jia Mu kept chanting Buddha in her mouth, and hurriedly ordered people to burn incense in front of the Vulcan.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing also rushed over to comfort Jia Mu that the fire had been put out, and asked the old lady to go back to the house and sit down.

But Jia Mu waited until the fire was completely extinguished, and then helped the maid, and walked in one by one Amitabha.

Everyone followed and filed in, and Sun Shaozong was about to follow, when he suddenly saw Mrs. Wang folded out from inside again, with a troubled expression on her face, hesitating.

Sun Shaozong wondered, "Auntie, what do you want to explain?"

Mrs. Wang said embarrassingly, "I shouldn't bother my nephew, but the fire was burning strangely, and my nephew happened to be a guest at my house..."

"Sure enough, there is something strange!"

Before the words were finished, Jia Baoyu pulled out the curtain and came out, excitedly said, "A little trivial matter, why do you need to get out of the way? My son will go and check it out!"

Chapter 489 Grandma Liu Enters the Grand View Garden [Part [-]]

Seeing Jia Baoyu come out through the curtain, patted his chest and introduced himself, Mrs. Wang's expression froze, and then she forced a smile and said, "You just read some messy scripts, how can you solve the case? Stop messing around, this matter is still Leave it to Erlang Sun to investigate."

If it was Jia Zheng who said this, even if Jia Baoyu was upset, he might not dare to argue.

But since it was what his mother said, he couldn't help but pout and argue, "Mother, don't underestimate me. If it's a big case of murder and robbery, the child may not be able to catch it, but right now it's just burning down a stable. What's so hard to find?"

Mrs. Wang was still waiting to persuade, but Sun Shaozong rushed to laugh and said, "If that's the case, then brother, I'll be lazy and just wait for you to come back from victory."

Encouraged, Jia Baoyu slapped his chest loudly, and only said to let Sun Shaozong sit for a while, and then he would come by himself.

Seeing that she couldn't stop it, Mrs. Wang helplessly called the two stewards, and accompanied Jia Baoyu to the stables of the South Courtyard to investigate the case.

But the men in Baoyu's family left the table, Sun Shaozong couldn't go back to the house, and listened to Grandma Liu's gossip with those Yingying and Yanyan, so he also complained to Mrs. Wang, saying that he would go to the nearby Spend time in the water pavilion.

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Wang and stepping out of Jiamu's courtyard, the warm smile on Sun Shaozong's face disappeared without a trace, and he sighed secretly a few times, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop".

He really has no interest in this house fight in Rongguo Mansion, but he doesn't want to be involved again and again-not to mention Caixia's pleading a few days ago, Mrs. Wang obviously wanted to borrow her The hands of outsiders, to 'expose' something!

Fortunately, Jia Baoyu took the initiative to offer the bag, otherwise it would be really difficult to refuse.

While lamenting that the gate of this mansion is too private, he strolled along the tree-lined path to the waterside pavilion in the middle, passing by a rockery, and Sun Shaozong couldn't help but stop—this is where he and Ping'er met for the first time 'The land boundary, now that I think about it, more than a year has passed.

"Good sister-in-law... you... must..."

"Can't, can't!"

Just as he was recalling the universe in the cave, he suddenly heard the voice of a woman suppressing her throat in panic and refusal from the rockery community.

Huh?

In this day and night, there is an uncle and sister-in-law who are having an affair here? !

Sun Shaozong was curious, so he tiptoed closer and looked behind the rockery. He saw two people kneeling opposite each other on the ground, with their arms tightly intertwined, which was more compact than a husband and wife prostrating.

But these two are not uncles and sisters-in-law, at most they can barely be regarded as a pair of sisters-in-law.

But it turned out that the two people who paid homage to each other, one was Xiren, the leading maid beside Jia Baoyu, and the other was the third girl in the house——Jia Tanchun from Aunt Zhao.

Although adultery may not be impossible between aunts and sisters-in-law, but judging by the expressions of the two of them, it is obvious that it is not for the sake of men and women.

Sure enough, Xiren said anxiously, "Third Miss, please get up quickly, don't ruin my life!"

He also heard Jia Tanchun begging, "Good sister-in-law, no matter how unworthy Huan Laosan is, he is still the master's flesh and blood. I just ask you to mention something to the second brother. Even if you find out any shortcomings, you must leave him a way out!"

tsk~

It seems that I guessed it right, the fire in the stable was indeed inseparable from Huan Laosan.

On the contrary, Jia Tanchun, who heard that he and his mother and brother were not on the same side in the usual days, always turned to Mrs. Wang and Baoyu. Now it seems that he can't part with the blood of his mother and compatriots.

She was also very smart, for she was afraid that if she went to intercede with Jia Baoyu, she would fall into the eyes of someone with a heart, so she found Xiren first, and then Xiren came forward to persuade him.

In fact, there is no need to persuade, with Jia Baoyu's soft temperament, if he really knew that the wildfire was related to Jia Huan, he would definitely help cover it up.

Since it was still a continuation of Jia's house fight, Sun Shaozong naturally didn't bother to pay attention, and quietly retreated back to the tree-lined path, ready to continue to the waterside pavilion.

"Master Sun, what did you see?"

At this moment, a slightly trembling voice came into Sun Shaozong's ears.

Looking at the prestige, I saw Ping'er standing behind him with a handkerchief in his hand, full of shame.

Seeing that her flushed face could not be concealed, Sun Shaozong was a little puzzled at first, but then he suddenly realized when he saw her eyes drifting towards the rockery from time to time.

She guessed that she saw herself leaning in front of the rockery to look around, thinking that she was reminiscing about the situation that day, so she couldn't hide her shame.

If it was a place where no one was around, Sun Shaozong would have to make fun of it, but the pair of "sisters-in-law" behind the rockery might come out at any time, so how dare he act recklessly?

So he asked earnestly, "Did Miss Ping'er come here to find me?"

Seeing him like this, Ping'er also became vigilant, passed the handkerchief forward, and said in a reserved and polite manner, "The servant just picked up a handkerchief on the road, it doesn't look like it's from our mansion. Things, dare I ask, but Mr. Sun left behind?"

Sun Shaozong glanced at it, it was the thing that was used in the aftermath of the swing frame. Thinking of the fun of that day, his heart couldn't help shaking, he hurriedly collected his mind, stepped forward to take the handkerchief, and smiled Said, "I still said where I dropped it, but it was Miss Ping'er who picked it up, thank you, thank you!"

"Some small things, can they be worthy of a word of thanks?"

"Otherwise, this veil is different from the others."

Sun Shaozong said nonsense in a serious manner, "The higher authorities have been 'contaminated' with a lot of ties, but they must not be lost."

Hearing his intentional emphasis on the word 'contaminated', Ping'er felt more and more embarrassed, and was blessed with a blessing, saying that he did not dare to disturb the adult's elegance, so he hurried back the same way.

Sun Shaozong put the handkerchief in his arms, and continued to move forward as if nothing happened.

However, after the two said goodbye to each other, Ping'er walked forward for a long time with her head down, and finally suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, took a deep breath, and was about to speed up her pace and return to Jiamu's courtyard to wait for orders. Suddenly, a person appeared in front of him suddenly!

Ping'er stopped to look at the man carefully, and couldn't help saying in surprise, "Second...Second Lord?"

But it turned out that it was none other than the second master Jia Lian who blocked the way!

Today, Jia Lian is also different from the past. Not only is he not painted, but he is also extremely simple and neat. All kinds of charm.

I saw him staring at Ping'er eagerly, and asked excitedly, "Where did you pick up that handkerchief? Why didn't you let me know?!"

As the male host, he can naturally ask about Ping'er's every move.

But this attitude...

Ping'er felt a chill in his heart, and wondered to himself, could it be that he had noticed something?

But she is also clever after all, she doesn't show any panic on her face, she only shows a little surprise "I picked it up at the gate of the Grand View Garden, because I figured that this handkerchief is of high quality, and it's not our usual style, it should be I searched all the way for what Mr. Sun left behind - some trivial things, naturally I didn't dare to disturb the second master and second grandmother."

'you you! "

Jia Lian's face suddenly flashed a little ferocious, as if he found out that Ping'er had done something outrageous, but just when Ping'er was panicking, he suddenly looked like a deflated ball, and said helplessly, "I'll pick it up later." If you want to touch Sun Erlang and something, especially something close to your body, please let me know!"

Seeing that Ping'er was a little confused, he hastily added, "I can return it to him myself!"

This superfluous sentence, not only did not let Ping'er feel relieved, but made him even more confused.

However, Ping'er also had a secret in his heart, so naturally he didn't dare to delve into it further, seeing that he was speechless with regret on his face, he bowed and said, "If the second master has nothing to do, I'll go to grandma's place to serve first."

Jia Lian waved his hand indifferently, Ping'er seemed to be pardoned, and was about to pass him by, but just as he took a step, Jia Lian frowned again and said, "No! Just now you lowered your head and looked lost, but why? Could it be..."

He stared at Ping'er in amazement, looked up and down, and blurted out, "Are you secretly looking at Sun Erlang?!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue to Ping'er, his heart almost jumped out of his mouth immediately, his legs were even more limp, almost unable to support his body.

Thanks to her being courageous, she tried her best to suppress the turmoil in her heart, and said with a blushing face, "What are you talking about? But... I really deserved it! If I really have ulterior motives, I should also hunt for treasures." Second master is so young and handsome, how could he..."

Ping'er was eager to get rid of the relationship, and for a while, he was a little unscrupulous, and directly sacrificed Jia Baoyu, the public lover in the mansion, as a shield.

"Pooh!"

Unexpectedly, when Jia Lian heard this, he was immediately annoyed, and said indignantly, "Baoyu is a half-grown child, who always paints up boys and girls, and just deceives you ignorant women! If you want to talk about it, it's Sun Erlang." Such an upright and arrogant man can be called a man!"

Ping'er was dumbfounded when she heard this, although she agreed with it in every possible way - but when it comes to the appearance of boys and girls with paint and paint, it seems that Jia Lian is even worse than Jia Baoyu, right?

By saying this, didn't he scold himself?

However, Jia Lian didn't realize that there was anything wrong, and praised Sun Shaozong a few more times. Seeing Ping'er staring at him blankly, he suddenly felt that this woman was so stupid that she couldn't comprehend Sun Erlang's charm at all.
