Detective in the Red Chamber

Of course she was referring to Wang Xifeng, needless to say, the person who came was Ping'er who was ordered by Wang Xifeng to be confined at home, but was hurriedly called over to beg for money.

As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Originally sneaky, more than a year has passed like that, but now he finally got a chance to escape, but was stopped by Wang Xifeng again, Ping'er was inevitably frustrated.

Seeing this scene, Sun Shaozong stretched out his hand to lift her drooping head, and said with a chuckle, "Since the little lady wants to spend the family's money, how can she not even give her a smile."

"grown ups!"

Seeing that he was still joking around at this time of year, Ping'er couldn't help calling out aggrievedly.

"Just have a laugh."

Sun Shaozong moved his finger up slightly, stroking her smooth face, and said softly, "Although she is not willing to let her go at the moment, compared to before, we are still one step closer."

As he spoke, he added, "When you come to this mansion next time, I'll bring you that pocket watch."

Hearing him mention the pocket watch with the sketch engraved on it, the stiffness on Ping'er's face instantly melted away, and she nodded like a cat, but shrank back shyly, reminding in a low voice, "It's a bright day, Don't let anyone see it."

"What are you afraid of? Jia Lian doesn't even care!"

Having said that, Sun Shaozong took his hand back, took out two bank notes from his sleeve pocket, and said angrily, "I originally wanted to use this excuse to redeem you, but she saw through the falsehood. Instead, I used you as a bargaining chip."

Ping'er sighed helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "Naturally, the servant doesn't want to be this bargaining chip, but who let the servant's body deed be held in her hands."

As he said that, he was about to take over the two bank notes.

Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozong changed his mind again, and put one piece into Ping'er's hand, and kicked the remaining one back. Under Ping'er's puzzled eyes, he said with a smile, "Today I will live in the garden for a while." Tonight, this one is left, I will ask you later in the evening.”

Hearing the meaning of his words, two red clouds suddenly appeared on Ping'er's face, and then he couldn't help asking sourly, "Do you want to call Xiaohong again?"

"no!"

Sun Shaozong hurriedly shook his head like a rattle drum, and said in fear, "This little hoof is simply a goblin who sucks the marrow. If it weren't for my strong body, I would have almost lost face yesterday—one time is enough, I don't dare to provoke you again." she."

Hearing this, Ping'er chuckled, quickly covered her mouth, gave a charming look, and said coquettishly, "I wanted to learn her methods, but now it seems that I don't need to worry about it."

Sun Shaozong was dumbfounded immediately, and hurriedly changed his words, "Actually, my body can still make..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ping'er giggled coquettishly and got up and said all blessings, saying that he would go and pay the half of the job first, then Fu Feng followed Liu.

Watching her from a distance into the Hengwu Garden, Sun Shaozong was about to look away when he saw another person rushing over from a distance, but it was Jia Lian who had been chanted several times by him just now.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly got up and went out to greet him. Just as he was about to say hello, he saw Jia Lian's forehead was bruised and swollen. He couldn't help but wondered, "Second brother Lian, what's the matter? Is it possible that someone dares to fight you?"

Jia Lian cursed sullenly, "Don't mention it, that stone nerd really lives up to his name. At first I was talking about it, but I finally saw the dozen or so fans in his house. Because they are indeed treasures, I thought about replacing them first." My father asked the price."

"Who knows that the stone nerd got annoyed just as soon as he opened his mouth, and he pushed and pushed outside without hesitation..."

"It was beaten by that stone nerd?"

Sun Shaozong was surprised and said, "It's just a dilapidated household. If you don't sell it, you won't sell it. How can you dare to beat someone? Isn't this courageous?"

"no!"

Jia Lian quickly shook his head and said, "That stone nerd was just pushing and shoving, but he didn't dare to do anything. The injury was actually caused by my father..."

But it turned out that as soon as he went home and told Jia She, he was scolded bloody, thinking that he couldn't even scare a broken house—Jia Lian just said a few words, and Jia She smashed a cricket gourd on him again. on the forehead.

"Anyway, I can't control this matter."

Jia Lian rubbed the bruise on his head with his ring finger, grinning his teeth and said, "That stone nerd said, even if it's 1000 taels a piece, he refuses to sell it. How can the old man still sell it for 2000 taels?"

Seeing his inadvertently revealing girlishness, Sun Shaozong only felt weak.

Fortunately, Jia Lian quickly returned to 'normal', and said with a smile, "I heard that Erlang will spend the night in the garden at night, why don't we ask the theater troupe in the mansion to sing a concert, so how lively it is? Let's sing Jiang Yuhan's song. The 'Sun Gong case'!"

Sun Shaozong has already made an appointment with Ping'er, how can he have time to listen to some bird drama?Especially since it's about my own story!

Just as he was about to decline politely, he heard someone shouting not far away, "Master Sun, the old lady is going to have a banquet at the Ou Xiangxie, please come over and have a drink or two."

tsk~

I don't know if Mother Jia has received the news of the death of the old Feng Jun of the Zhen Guo Mansion, if she already knows, then she will really be relieved.

Sun Shaozong was originally entrusted to protect Jia's mother with him, so naturally he would not refuse the invitation, so he and Jia Lian hurried to the outside of Hengwu Garden, joined Jia Baoyu, and rushed to Hengwu Garden with the team and go.

During the banquet, Grandma Liu made a "witty remark", which unsurprisingly made everyone laugh again and again.

Until around three o'clock in the afternoon at Shen Shi, Jia's mother became a little sleepy because she hadn't taken a nap, and yawned twice at the table. Wang Xifeng saw her next to her and hurriedly came up to persuade her to go back and rest, so as not to hurt her body.

Therefore, this second banquet is regarded as a drunken feast.

But it was said that Wang Xifeng ordered people to use the shoulder guard to send the old lady to the front yard to rest, and stayed behind to discuss with Mrs. Wang, and decided to let Li Wan and the others stay in the front yard with only the maidservant, and the rest of the maidservants. They all go back to their homes.

And Sun Shaozong, as the 'Shenzhen of Dinghai', was placed on the Zhujin Building in Zilingzhou, which is surrounded by water and only accessible by an arch bridge.

No mention of others.

But at night, after another round of drinking and drinking, Sun Shaozong finally persuaded Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu to go back with all his talk.

As soon as I got back upstairs, I applied a hot towel to my face, drank another cup of ginseng tea to soothe the hangover, and slightly relieved my drunkenness, when I heard a crisp sound on the window edge, but it was a small Stones come up.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly looked out, but saw two shadowy figures standing in the hazy night.

Why did he still bring Lin Hongyu with him?

Sun Shaozong felt a little displeased in his heart—although that little goblin was good at killing people, but in front of her, Sun Shaozong had to show his feet all the time, and it was really hard for him to devote himself fully.

But it's all here, and it doesn't help to think about these things.

That's it.

Let's go down and see if we can coax Lin Hongyu back and leave Ping'er alone to serve.

Thinking in this way, Sun Shaozong hurried downstairs, unbolted the door bolt, and was about to open the door, but the two people outside couldn't wait, pushed the door open and entered, and put a familiar body Squeezing into Sun Shaozong's arms, he panted and murmured, "My friend, I think about it day and night, but I am looking forward to this day again."

Hearing the tender murmur, Sun Shaozong froze on the spot, because it wasn't Ping'er and Lin Hongyu who jumped in, but Li Wan's master and servant!

bad~

If this is hit by Ping'er...

Just as he was thinking, Suyun squeezed in, locked the door in a hurry, and said in a low voice, "It seems that someone is coming from the bridge with a lantern!"

Chapter 507

Got it!

This is really what to be afraid of!

Seeing the flustered appearance of Li Wan's master and servant, Sun Shaozong couldn't help muttering in his heart - should he take this opportunity to 'introduce' for both parties?

It stands to reason that they are all their own women, and they are all messing around in the Rongguo Mansion. If they can form allies and take care of each other, they can avoid many unnecessary risks in the future.

However, they may not think so about each other, in case they become jealous and accidentally show their feet...

However, if he doesn't 'confess', how can he send Ping'er away?

Now that she has Jia Lian's consent, she uses some reason like "unsafe", obviously there is no 300 taels of silver here.

"enemy."

Just when Sun Shaozong was struggling, Li Wan became more and more flustered, and someone pushed his chest twice, urging him, "Find a place for us to hide, and don't let anyone see it!"

Right!

No matter what idea he uses to send Ping'er away, there is nothing wrong with letting Li Wan's master and servant hide first.

So Sun Shaozong hurriedly let the two of them upstairs, and told them not to make any noise.

"Master Sun, Master Sun!"

At this moment, there was a muffled sound from downstairs, but it was hard to hear that the voice was rough and loud, but it seemed to be a man.

Why is it not Ping'er?

Only then did Sun Shaozong realize that it was a false alarm, he stepped on the stairs and went downstairs, and asked in a loud voice, "Who is it?"

"It's a villain, Zhou Rui."

"Butler Zhou?"

Sun Shaozong opened the door halfway in doubt, but saw that Zhou Rui was leading two fat and healthy nurses, waiting outside with slanted shoulders, he couldn't help frowning and said, "It's so late, is there anything that housekeeper Zhou can do to me? "

"That's what happened."

Zhou Rui tidied up, and the guard on the left immediately handed over a piece of silk cloth. Zhou Rui shook off the silk cloth and offered it with both hands, "This is the patrol map drawn up by the guard last week of our mansion. Because the second grandma was worried that it was not safe enough, she specially asked me to show it to adults."

It turned out to be for this matter.

Sun Shaozong reached out to take the patrol map, and the other guard hurriedly raised the lantern high, glanced at it with the light, and saw that there were eight teams in total of guards who were in charge of patrolling tonight. Outside the wall, six teams are inside the courtyard wall. Each team is limited to six people, and they are all equipped with long and short weapons and copper gongs for warning.

The six teams of the patrol team in the Grand View Garden were further divided into three bright and three dark teams. The bright ones carried lanterns and were responsible for patrolling secluded places along the trails;

Huh? !

Seeing this, Sun Shaozong's heart suddenly shuddered, but it turns out that according to the picture, there is a team patrolling back and forth from Zilingzhou to Qiushuangzhai, and it is still a secret whistle without lights!

Doesn't this mean that when Li Wan's master and servant came at night, they might have been discovered by the secret sentry? !

If this is the case, Zhou Rui's intentions for coming this week are somewhat suspicious—maybe he got wind of it, so he came to test himself with an excuse?

Suspicion arose in Sun Shaozong's mind, but he remained calm on the surface, patiently deduced the patrol map, and pointed out two omissions in it to Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui hurriedly took out a charcoal pen from his sleeve, marked out Sun Shaozong's omissions, and wrote two lines of comments on the edge of the patrol map.

Judging by his serious appearance, it doesn't seem like he has other plans.

So Sun Shaozong tentatively said, "Steward Zhou attaches so much importance to this patrol map, is it possible that the mansion really wants to have a permanent patrol in the garden?"

"It is necessary to be permanent."

Zhou Rui hurriedly explained, "However, according to Second Mistress, it seems that she intends to select a group of women who are in their prime years, let the nursing team train briefly for a few days, and then replace these men."

As he said, he put the charcoal pencil and the patrol map into his arms carefully, pointed to the two guards on the left and right and said, "The two of them will be on duty in front of the Lord's door tonight. If you have any orders, Just say hello to them."

Isn't that ridiculous!

If these two door gods were really to be guarded outside, wouldn't it be difficult for Li Wan's master and servant to fly?

Sun Shaozong hurriedly said, "I accept the offer, but the manpower in your house is already limited, and besides, I don't need other people's guards."

Zhou Rui said a few more words of politeness, seeing that Sun Shaozong insisted on refusing, he took the opportunity to plead guilty, and led the two nursing homes away in a hurry.

Sun Shaozong didn't lock the door until he watched the light of the lantern disappear on the other side, ran up to the second floor, and said anxiously, "When you come..."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly found that the upstairs was empty, and there was no one in sight.

While he was wondering, the door of the wardrobe at the base of the west wall creaked open, revealing two stooped women.

Suyun came out first, dropped the embroidered shoes on her hands, and stepped on them with her ankles wrapped in socks. She didn't care to put on the heels, and hurriedly bent down to wait for Li Wan to put on the shoes.

Sun Shaozong hurriedly continued to ask, "When you came, did you bump into anyone?"

"Of course not."

Li Wan tilted a slender foot the size of a palm, allowing Suyun to put the embroidered shoes on it, and then stepped on the ground firmly, then came out with the help of the cupboard door, and put the other foot on Suyun's leg Come on, and said in the mouth, "Because of the recent incidents in the Grand View Garden, I was pushed on my head by Sister Feng, so I also gave me a set of keys for the corner doors..."

"Didn't I mean when you came in, on the way? On the way to Zilingzhou, have you ever bumped into the watchman in the garden?"

Suyun put the other shoe on for Li Wan, turned her head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, our grandma is being cautious. I found out that you live on this Zilingzhou, and there are many patrols outside, so I just Instead of going on land, I found a boat directly from the Ouxiangxie, and came along the waterway."

That's what happened!

I can't tell that the two masters and servants are quite scheming.

Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then pondered, maybe that boat could be used for other purposes...

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Wan suddenly said resentfully, "It seems that the rumor is indeed true."

"rumor?"

Sun Shaozong asked suspiciously, "What rumor?"

"Naturally, it's the rumor that the two Lian brothers suddenly became magnanimous and gave Mrs. Sun a pretty maid to warm his bed!" Li Wan said sourly. I came up, but now I am asking questions, and I am out of my mind!"

Are you so impatient?

Sun Shaozong slandered speechlessly. Originally, he was worried that Ping'er would not be able to accept it for a while when he found out that Li Wan had an affair with him—but Li Wan was only chasing rumors and began to be jealous. If her "friendship" was before her, I'm afraid I don't know what kind of sour it will be.

So he became more determined in his heart, and he couldn't let the two of them bump into each other.

Sun Shaozong moved his body forward, couldn't help but pull Li Wan into his arms, and said with a evasive smile, "Where are you going? I just promised Zhou Rui that I'm going to go around for a while, and I can't bear to take the two of you together." I left it here, so I made trouble for a while."

After menstruation, how could Li Wan's sensitive and long-lasting body stand up to his familiarity?
