Detective in the Red Chamber

Hearing what he said with certainty, Qingwen immediately felt relieved, hurried out of the room with gratitude, and rushed to the orchard with the safflower oil in her hands.

All the way to find the grape trellis, seeing the mandarin duck sitting on the swing in a daze, not aware of her approach at all, Qingwen couldn't help but feel a little narrow in spite of her joy.

He quietly touched the back of the mandarin duck, and with a small white hand, suddenly grabbed it from the mandarin duck's shoulder to his chest, and grabbed the thing that was full of his hands.

"ah!"

Yuanyang was shocked, and blurted out, "Second Master! This... this is absolutely impossible!"

"Giggle..."

Qingwen lay on her back, leaning forward and back with a smile.

Only then did Yuanyang realize that it was the wrong person, and hurriedly slapped the restless paw away, wanting to tear Qingwen apart in shame.

"Don't dare to move!"

Qingwen stared at her beautiful eyes half-truthfully, "Second master just repeatedly explained that if the servants are required to escort Aunt Jin Haosheng back, there is no need for a hair!"

"You... how dare you talk nonsense!"

The mandarin duck was even more ashamed and annoyed when he heard the words. He pulled the rope of the swing and stood up straight.

"Who's talking nonsense?"

Qingwen threw the safflower oil in front of her eyes, and said swearingly, "You don't even think about it. If the second master hadn't told me, how could I have sent you the medicinal oil?"

"It's really...it's the second master..."

The mandarin duck was still asking, but the goose egg couldn't help but blush, and the chest that had just been touched by the sex heaved and recovered several times, and looked at Qingwen, hesitant to speak.

Although Qingwen didn't know what she wanted to ask, but she had just benefited from Sun Shaozong, and knew that Yuanyang had given up her body to him long ago, so there was nothing to shy away from.

So naturally he said good words, "Second Lord was going to apply the medicine for you in person, but he was delayed by something else, so he couldn't come."

As she spoke, she went around to Yuanyang, asked which ankle was sprained, and took off the shoe and sock of Yuanyang's left foot, holding a pair of jade feet like snow lotuses in her hand, and said with a smile, "Two Although the grandfather failed to come, he entrusted me to deliver his wishes, and my sister just took me as the second master's substitute."

Yuanyang didn't know whether to be happy or ashamed when he heard it.

Following the little white hand, smearing the safflower oil evenly on the ankle, I felt a spicy, numb and crispy breath, slowly rising from the leg, warming to the bottom of my heart, and also crisping to the bottom of my heart.

Crackling, crackling!

At this moment, the sound of firecrackers in the front yard was suddenly heard, followed by waves of shouts from far to near.

Because Yuanyang is responsible for the official family, she hurriedly ordered Qingwen to go outside to find out what happened.

Qingwen went away for a while, then came back with a dazed expression on her face, and was questioned repeatedly by Yuanyang, and then she said in disbelief, "The father-in-law who delivered the decree came to the house. It is said that the court rewarded the second master with the title, yes... yes First-class male from Xuanfeng County!"

"what?!"

Yuanyang got up subconsciously, then wailed and fell back down, clutching the two ropes tightly, and said involuntarily, "Isn't it the same as the elder of Rongguo Mansion?"

After the baron reform two years ago, the abandoned baron was replaced by a general, and Jia She's title was changed from a first-class general of the second rank to a first-class baron of the second rank.

Although the title of title is not comparable to a real job, Zeng Ci, who has jumped to the second rank, can also be called a super-move Yaosheng-and starting from the baron, he can barely be called Lord Sun!

This is because even though Sun Shaozong made remarkable achievements, in the final analysis, it belongs to the internal counter-insurgency, and according to the usual practice, it is a few grades less than the external military achievements.

If the tens of thousands of mountain barbarians were replaced by Mongols outside the Great Wall, this feat would not only be a baron, but it would be enough to directly skip the viscount and be awarded the title of super earl!

Of course, the Mongols outside the Great Wall and the Heishui Mohe were not as loose as the Wuxi barbarians. If there were tens of thousands of troops with horses and horses, Sun Shaozong's personal bravery alone would not be enough to seal the victory.

"Of course not!"

But after hearing Yuanyang's exclamation, Qingwen shook her head and said, "The Eldest Master only has an empty title, and the Second Master has also been promoted to 'Dali Temple Shaoqing' this time!"

Chapter 663 Losing the golden hairpin, Xing Xiuyan throws a rat

But it was said that Jia Huanfei also came out of the living room, and was about to gnash his teeth and curse a few words, but a young servant had already greeted him and led him to the backyard.

Jia Huan hurriedly staggered the back molars, lowered his head to hide the hatred on his face, and only thought angrily in his heart, "I think it's Lao Tzu who accepted the filial piety from his sons and sang with him!"

After consoling myself, I remembered that I falsely reported more than twenty taels of silver in front of Baoyu before, and after I went back to get it out, I had to make a profit and get back all the losses I lost before!

Thinking of this, he felt itchy again, and rubbed his palms all the way, feeling hot and full of 'wealth' in his hands.

When they got to the backyard, the boy stopped in front of the door, and replaced by the gatekeeper woman, who led Jia Huan into the room.

In fact, Jia Yingchun didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, resisted listening to his incongruity, and decided to send embroidered oranges to see the guests off.

But Si Qi refused to let it go, and sneered from the sidelines, "Third Master has gained a great reputation recently, thanks to our wife who is easy to talk to. If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would have been..."

"Si Qi."

Yuanyang hurriedly pulled her back, and said politely and distantly, "Since my second master and second master Bao are waiting in front, it is inconvenient for my wife to stay here for a long time, third master, please do as you please."

This is obviously driving people away!

Although Jia Huan was eager to leave the Sun's residence as soon as possible, he was secretly annoyed when he heard this, and cursed 'Sao hoof' and 'Little bitch' several times in his heart before leaving the backyard in a fit of anger.

But he said that he came back at night, and he was led by his wife just now, so he didn't have time to take a closer look.

This time when I came out from the inside, I glanced left and right inadvertently, but I was so jealous that I looked directly at it!

When I was in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yingchun gave her the nickname Er Mutou, not to mention being a serious master, even the slaves didn't think much of her.

At that time, her situation was far worse than that of our Third Master Huan!

Who would have thought that when a blind cat meets a dead mouse, it will make her fly up a branch and become a phoenix!

Now the yard is tidied up, I'm afraid it is not much inferior to Mrs. Wang's.

Motherfucker!

Waiting for Lao Tzu to kill all directions in Yinhook Gambling House this time, he will also buy a big outer house, and then secretly take in a few beautiful concubines, then the courtyard will be illuminated inside...

Do not!

At least ten times more luxurious than this yard!

He was setting up his ambitions here, and was about to build a world with his hands. Suddenly, someone behind him said strangely, "Third Master? Yours is still here, is there something that I didn't explain clearly?"

Looking back, it was Yuanyang who picked up the curtain and followed.

Jia Huan remembered her sarcastic appearance just now, and subconsciously prepared to say a few words.

But thinking about those gambling debts that have not been repaid, especially the falsely reported twenty or so taels of silver, it is not at ease.

He managed to control his anger again, and said, "Master, let's go!"

Said, just wait to walk away.

"and many more!"

But Yuanyang called him again, and asked after her, "That year when Caixia was punished, I heard that the second master sent her some snacks?"

"Send snacks?"

Jia Huan stopped again, turned his eyes and pondered for a while, then laughed and said, "I said, why does that little hoof always talk about repaying kindness, so that's what happened! Ha...haha..."

He laughed a few times before continuing, "Anyway, she has nothing to do with me. Third master might as well tell you the truth. In fact, there was a worm wrapped in that snack. He wanted to tease her. Who would have thought that she would eat it too fast?" , I didn’t even find out about the mechanism of the Lord!”

As he spoke, he shook his head and looked regretful.

Let Caixia forget about her kindness for many years, but it turned out to be...

Yuanyang felt that Caixia was not worth it, so she didn't want to pay attention to Jia Huan anymore, she just nodded and went to the east guest room.

"What a shameless bastard!"

Jia Huan cursed angrily, seeing the suspicious eyes of the gatekeeper woman, she seemed to want to step forward to ask questions, and hurriedly strode towards the front yard.

Two flowers bloom, one for each branch.

But the mandarin ducks came out of the main room not to chase Jia Huan, but to invite Xing Xiuyan to drink tea and talk in the newly built plum garden under Jia Yingchun's order.

After entering the door, I saw that Mrs. Xing temporarily transferred the little maid beside Xing Xiuyan to show off, looking around at the door of the inner room.

This behavior is not like what a serious maid should have.

"what to do?!"

Yuanyang scolded in a low voice, and said angrily, "The old lady sent you here to serve Miss Xing. In this broad daylight, you are sneaky like a thief!"

That Zhui'er was taken aback at first, and when he turned around to see Yuanyang face to face, he became even more at a loss, pinching the corner of his clothes and saying "I...I..."

"Who's outside?"

At this time, Xing Xiuyan's voice suddenly came out, and then she came out from inside, holding the curtain with one hand and said with a smile, "It turns out that Sister Yuanyang has arrived, but what does Second Sister have to say?"

Her words and demeanor are elegant and graceful, and they are all the same as in the past.

If you change to another one that is not careful, you can pass it sloppily if you can't say it.

But how can mandarin ducks be fooled?

First, she could see that there seemed to be something hidden in her room, so she subconsciously locked the door, for fear that she would find out if she went in.

Seeing that there is only a plain hairpin on Xing Xiu's cigarette butt, and no other jewelry next to it, she uses this as an excuse and says, "Why doesn't the girl wear head jewelry? That is specially made by the wife for you."

Xing Xiuyan smiled, shook her head and said, "Didn't I borrow this collection of poems from Xiangling yesterday? I woke up early in the morning thinking about reading a few pages, but I was so fascinated by it that I even forgot to wash and wash it, so I didn't care about any jewelry ?”

Although Yuanyang saw that she was probably being perfunctory, she couldn't find any reason to ask the truth.

So after conveying Jia Yingchun's invitation to drink tea in the Plum Garden, he silently withdrew.

After Yuanyang left, it was Zhui'er who breathed a sigh of relief first.

Seeing her caressing her chest, looking like the rest of her life, Xing Xiuyan quietly lowered her eyebrows to hide the annoyance on her face.

Turning around, she went into the inner room and sat in front of the dressing table. Xing Xiuyan took a deep breath to control her emotions, and then raised her voice to say hello, "Chui'er, did you see that Dielianhua's golden step shaking? How can I find it?" Missing?"

But it turned out that she had put together the jewelry early in the morning, intending to return them to Jia Yingchun intact, but she never imagined that a golden step was missing out of thin air!

The character "Chai" was still there yesterday evening, and at night there were only Xing Xiuyan and Zhui'er in the room.

And when she saw Zhui'er's behavior just now, she suspected that she had taken it, so she tried it with words.

But after listening to the silence outside for a long while, Zhui'er responded sharply, "I don't know! How do we slaves know what the girl put away?!"

After hearing her response, Xing Xiuyan was almost [-]% sure that the golden step would be stolen by her.

however……

This pendant was temporarily sent by Mrs. Xing to serve her in order to show off.

If the aunt and nephew are in harmony, that's fine, but Mrs. Xing doesn't care about Xing Xiuyan, she just treats her as a burden for free food.

In addition, this is still in the Sun Mansion, not the Rongguo Mansion...

Wouldn't it be a terrible thing if she directly exposed Zhuo'er, and Mrs. Xing mistakenly thought that she was targeting her and deliberately humiliated her in front of outsiders?

Because of these taboos, Xing Xiuyan had no choice but to restrain his temper, and said loudly, "Then help me look for it, maybe I'll see it somewhere!"

Hearing that there was no response from outside, she laughed again, "I'm planning to return everything to my second sister today. What's the matter if I lose a hairpin? You can help me find it quickly, so I can't alarm Mrs. Sun in the end. Shall we try another case?"

Xing Xiuyan talked and laughed, coaxing and frightening, naturally hoping that Zhui'er would be timid and return the golden step voluntarily, so that she could pretend that there was no such thing and take the initiative to return the jewelry.

She never wanted to fall in front of the mandarin ducks, but she didn't dare to make a sound, but she really didn't pay attention to the cousin Xing Xiuyan in her heart.

Hearing what Xing Xiuyan said inside and outside, he seemed to have decided that he had stolen the golden step, and Zhui'er gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, picked up the curtain and entered the inner room, and shouted, "Young lady, what you said is so unreasonable! It sounds like me. I stole your hairpin—but as the saying goes, if you want to wrong me, you should have evidence, right?"

As she said that, she pinched her waist again, "If the girl is really suspicious of me, I'll let you rummage around, but if you can't find the hairpin, I have to go to my wife to prove my innocence!"

"you……"

Seeing Zhui'er's confident face, Xing Xiuyan finally couldn't help showing some sullen anger.

It's just that she is smart after all, knowing that Zhui'er dared to say such a thing, the stolen goods would probably be out of her hands long ago.

If there was a commotion, even if no one got the stolen goods together in the end, Zhui'er might not end up with anything good—but it would be more and more difficult for him and even his parents to gain a foothold in the Rongguo Mansion in the future.

Chapter 664 The Mandarin Duck Girl Earns the Gold Hairpin [Part [-]]

But when Xing Xiuyan was in a dilemma, someone in the corridor outside had already heard the truth.

This person is naturally a mandarin duck, and she just saw that the master and servant both seem to be hiding something - especially that Zhui'er looks guilty, although he is not easy to ask the details, but he is still worried.

So he went out for a few steps, gritted his silver teeth, then turned back and hid in the porch outside the window, just in time to listen to the conversation between the master and the servant.

After hearing the cause and effect clearly, Yuanyang pondered for a while, then quietly left the courtyard door, muttering all the way to Jia Yingchun's courtyard.

Because there was something in her heart, she didn't pay attention and almost bumped into Qingwen who was rushing towards her. Before she had time to say anything, Qingwen spat half-truthfully, "Bah~ what's the matter? It's broad daylight I just lost my soul and bumped around."
