Detective in the Red Chamber

Xue Baoqin was sweeping the purse in her hand, but shook her head and said: "This money really shouldn't be spent on him—even if it is thrown into the water, at least it can be heard!"

When Jia Tanchun heard the words, he suddenly raised his head, stared at Xue Baoqin and hesitated to speak.

"Sister, what do you see me doing?"

Xue Baoqin curled her lips, and said: "Although I am not as understanding as my sister, I am not a fool—not to mention that Mr. Zheng is going back to Beijing, everyone in your house has already known about it."

Jia Tanchun was still staring and sizing up, and then sighed after a long while, then lowered his head and said, "In this way, I've been deceiving my ears—I think my wife knows the same thing, right?"

"What about where?"

Xue Baoqin stepped forward and hugged her fragrant shoulders, and said with a smile: "If my sister's heart is really as hard as a stone, I really dare not get close to you."

Jia Tanchun responded with a wry smile, and then turned his attention to the purse in his palm.

It is said that eating a ditch brings wisdom, but her brother Jia Huan, who is a compatriot, is a master who can't change his shit.

Crying and swearing at Baoyu with his front feet, he finally got Baoyu's help and paid off the accumulated gambling debts. Only a few days later, he fell into it again.

If in normal times, when Jia Tanchun heard the news, he would be secretly angry at most, and would not take any real action.

But now it is different.

Thanks to the blessing of Jia Yuanchun's pregnancy, Jia Zheng has already received the order to return to Beijing to report on his duties in advance, and he must wait until the next year at most before returning to the capital.

With his temper, if he knew that Jia Huan didn't repent and owed a big debt outside, he would have to kill this rebellious son with his own hands.

It is said that they do not communicate with each other, and the situation is like fire and water.

But how could Jia Tanchun be willing to watch Huan Laosan being beaten to death under his father's stick?

Therefore, Jia Tanchun has been trying to find ways to raise money recently, and he wants to help fill the hole after he has learned enough lessons outside.

It's just that she is an unfavored concubine, and she is usually strong and face-saving. How much money can she save?

In the past few days, she has been carrying on her mind, but she also resisted it, and never showed it in front of outsiders. Who would have thought that Sister Bao would still see the clues.

Feeling ashamed and grateful, the already slightly biased balance couldn't help but tell the winner—although Brother Bao has always resisted this "golden and jade match", if Sister Bao can be a person, if she can...

wow~

Just at this time, I heard the sound of bead curtains, and another woman came out of Jia Yingchun's main room, with a delicate figure like a willow swinging in the wind, who else could it be if it wasn't Lin Daiyu?

After Lin Daiyu went out, she glanced left and right, and saw that the two of them were under the corridor of the West Wing, so she walked over.

It's just that when he walked halfway, his eyes were fixed on the purse in Jia Tanchun's hand, and doubts flashed across his face, and then a look of amazement appeared on his face.

And then, she subconsciously stopped, as if intending to turn back the same way.

"Sister Lin!"

Just as Tanchun had faintly noticed something, Xue Baoqin on the side rushed forward as if flying early, and said with a playful smile, "Don't you have something to ask sister Tanchun to help with? Come, come, just give me the salary in advance!"

Lin Daiyu was a little caught off guard by her, she turned her head to look at Jia Tanchun who suddenly got up, then tapped Baoqin's forehead, and scolded with a smile: "You are the only one who is clever!"

As he said that, he also took out an apricot-colored purse, walked over and couldn't help but put it in Jia Tanchun's hand, and said straight to the point: "If you really love the third child, you can't just give the money out, and let him eat it anyway." Let's talk about it enough."

Seeing that Jia Tanchun seemed to refuse, she turned her face hard again and asked, "Why, my money is not money anymore?"

Jia Tanchun had nothing to say at once, after watching Lin Daiyu return to the main room, he felt troubled in his heart.

Which side should she stand on?

"okay."

Bao Qin didn't know when she sat back on the railing again, kicked her two embroidered shoes that were on the bottom of the crescent boat up and down, and said with a smile in her mouth: "Don't worry about it, who will be Brother Bao's bride? It's not up to you to decide."

This ghost is fine!

Jia Tanchun gave her a sideways glance, and was about to criticize her, when she smiled and said: "What's more, I think what my aunt means, I'm afraid I may not have identified Brother Bao."

Chapter 749 A Good Show [Part [-]]

Lin Daiyu picked up the curtain and entered the room, suddenly felt a warm feeling mixed with powder and powder.

She was always timid, and she didn't feel anything inside, but Aunt Xue, who was sitting at the head of the card table, couldn't stand it long ago, just now when her daughter was going out, she took off all the brocade hat and ermine fur , revealing the mallow-colored palace dress inside.

She was dressed in a graceful purple, and the skin on her chest was even more beautiful than the snow, and she was majestic and compelling.

Even though she was a woman, Lin Daiyu stood beside Ruan Rong, but she couldn't help casting envious eyes.

In recent years, the trend of worshiping the Tang Dynasty has become more and more popular, and the trend of thinking that beauty is plump and white is naturally noisy.

What's more, Rongguo Mansion's heirs are not prosperous, so they always prefer plump and good-bearing women. Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng are all like this.

The only exception is Mrs. Xing, who is a continuation, which will inevitably lead to internal strife among the eldest family members, and she was never expected to flourish.

And although I and Brother Bao are in love with each other, in this regard, it is true...

Bowing her head and scanning for a while, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but sigh deeply and feel sad.

Suddenly, there was laughter all around the card table, Lin Daiyu looked up in astonishment, only to see Ruan Rong smiling happily, putting a dozen pieces of broken silver and golden barley into her bag.

On the other hand, Aunt Xue sighed, and then unexpectedly pointed her finger at Lin Daiyu: "It's all because of you, the girl, who sighed behind me, and made me think that her hand is not good. I didn't expect to give my old book to you." paid for it.”

There was another round of laughter around, but it turned out that Aunt Xue caught a pair of half-bad cards, and she had the courage to call a few bets before, and she was about to fold her cards with others.

He never expected to see Lin Daiyu's frowning look, he thought he was worrying about her god-sister, so he cheered up and raised his bets again and again, but in the end, he suffered a heavy loss.

Ruan Rong picked up three of the biggest golden barley seeds, stuffed them into Lin Daiyu's palm with her backhand, covered her mouth and said with a coquettish smile, "No wonder my aunt keeps winning against us, it turns out that she hides her sharp eyes."

Li Wan also jokingly said: "You are wrong, just look at our concubine's beautiful body, it should be the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi!"

Ruan Rong said "yes" a few times, and all the girls in the room laughed together again. Shi Xiangyun took advantage of the situation and slipped into Aunt Xue's arms, clamoring for a taste of Tang Monk's meat.

Seeing that they were laughing and laughing, they suddenly heard the sound of the door curtain outside, and then the mandarin ducks came in from the outside, and said with a smile: "My aunt will bring a few girls to come and go frequently in the future. The servants have stayed here for more than two years. I've never seen it so lively."

Aunt Xue responded repeatedly, and lovingly combed the broken hair on Shi Xiangyun's forehead.

On the other hand, Qingwen, who had sharp eyes, stepped forward and took a few snowflakes that had not yet melted from Yuanyang's shoulders, and asked in surprise, "Why, it's snowing outside again?"

"Isn't that right, the sky is still clear in the morning, who would have thought it would snow again."

Yuanyang said, and then reported to Jia Yingchun: "Madam, my uncle sent a message saying that there will be a rehearsal soon, and a separate seat has been reserved, asking if we can join in the fun."

"Go! Go! Go!"

Before Jia Yingchun could speak, Shi Xiangyun jumped up from Aunt Xue's arms and said, "I heard that Jiang Yuhan is the No. tight?"

The reason why everyone came here was to be close to the water and enjoy the moon first, and see Jiang Yuhan's demeanor, and they all echoed at this time.

Aunt Xue also hurriedly ordered Baochai to fetch her big clothes.

When she was dressed neatly, Jia Tanchun and Xue Baoqin outside had heard the news and rushed over, so they ordered the servant girl to open the way ahead and rush to the front yard bustling.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

While the girls were playing cards for fun, Sun Shaozong was dealing with official business in his study.

It was said that he was suspended pending impeachment, but Wei Yi was anxious to get rid of the financial crisis, so how dare he let Sun Shaozong just tease and hide?

Therefore, Chen Jingde and others were directly ordered to report the latest progress of the case to Sun Shaozong every day.

However, there has not been much progress in the past two days, and it was not until today that there was finally some breakthrough.

The first to report was Huang Bin, the head catcher who had just been promoted by Sun Shaozong.

According to Sun Shaozong's order, he secretly protected Wang Erhu's wife, Liu Shi, and tried to find out the culprit who was following him.

At the beginning, they searched around Liu's mother's house several times, but no suspicious person was found.

Later, after more in-depth investigations, a suspect was finally identified—Ge Xiucai, a litigator who wrote pleadings at a street stall.

It's not been a year or two since Ge Xiucai set up a stall at the street corner. It is said that before Liu's second marriage, he had some unclear relationship with him.

Therefore, after Liu's husband died, it was reasonable for him to ask others about Liu's situation.

But the frequency of his inquiring was too close, and the things he inquired were repeated back and forth. Logically, even if he cared about Mrs. Liu, there was no need to inquire so repeatedly.

So after repeated investigations, he was listed as a key suspect.

Then, the police found out that Ge Xiucai had to go to a wonton shop every night after Liu's return to her natal family.

Before that, Ge Xiucai would only go to the Yada Festival occasionally.

So last night, after Huang Bin disguised himself, he went there as an undercover agent, and it turned out that Ge Xiucai was secretly connecting with a burly man.

According to the image comparison, this person is likely to be one of the real culprits who killed Wang Erhu.

But Huang Bin did not startle the snake, but followed the strong man secretly to the next place, and spent half a day to find out.

"According to the results of the investigation, there were three people in the yard, but the man with the scar on his arm was not found among them, nor did he seem to be imprisoned."

Hearing this, Sun Shaozong frowned slightly: "So, the hostages should be held elsewhere?"

In fact, there is another possibility, but Sun Shaozong didn't want to give Wei Yi, Chen Jingde and others an excuse.

But even so, Chen Jingde still couldn't help blurting out: "My lord, this night has many dreams, in view of my humble position..."

"hold on."

Sun Shaozong raised his hand to stop him from talking, and said without doubt: "If the man with the scar didn't show up tonight, he will shut down the net immediately tomorrow morning!"

After a pause, he solemnly warned: "Don't slack off on your side because of this, if the mastermind behind the scenes sees a flaw, I will definitely not forgive you lightly!"

When Chen Jingde heard the words, he could only obediently accept his orders.

The three discussed a few more words in the house, and then heard someone shouting outside the courtyard: "Second brother, the rehearsal is going to be soon, the brothers are waiting for you!"

Only then did Sun Shaozong wave the two of them back, went outside and locked the courtyard door, and rushed to the front courtyard with Xue Pan.

Coincidentally, as soon as the two walked to the second gate, they bumped into heads with the girls.

Seeing that it was his mother in person, Xue Pan naturally wanted to come over to say hello.

Because of this, Sun Shaozong naturally couldn't retreat anymore, so he had to follow him forward.

Chapter 750 A Good Show [Part [-]]

[I was awakened by the light after the call, so I quickly got up and uploaded. 】

Seeing Sun Shaozong coming forward with his son, Aunt Xue couldn't help being in a daze.

Although in the past two years, she deliberately let herself forget the embarrassing scene that day, but for a woman, for a widowed woman for many years, how can she forget it if she wants to?

In the snowflakes, the moment I saw Sun Shaozong, the scene of almost sincere meeting in the dense forest of the Grand View Garden, immediately came to my mind.

Shyness, embarrassment, and some vaguely absurd thoughts.

Although this thought was only a little bit, it made her almost feel ashamed.

You know, these days she has been thinking about whether to change the candidate for her son-in-law from Jia Baoyu to Sun Shaozong.

Now this meeting, what emerges in my heart is...

What a shame to be a mother!

Her mind was in a mess for a while, and even Xue Pan and Sun Shaozong forgot to respond when they came forward to pay respects.

It was Xue Baochai who was on the side seeing that she was not in the right mind, and quietly pinched her arm, Aunt Xue came to her senses, and quickly waved her hand and said: "Get up quickly, there are relatives on the left and right, so they are useful." So much."

Before Sun Shaozong responded, Xue Pan got up with a big grin, glanced at Lin Daiyu with a thief, and then said with a smile: "What mother said is that if we continue to divide like this, I am afraid that even the good show ahead will be delayed. Already—my second brother and I will lead the way, and my sister-in-law and younger sisters should also be more careful."

When he said this, Sun Shaozong naturally had no objection, and immediately led the servants to open the way, and led the group of Yingying and Yanyan to the temporary stage set up by Dongkuayuan.

It is said to be a temporary construction, but in fact, the stage that was originally placed in the southeast corner was disassembled and transported here - although there are ready-made stages and stands, the location is a bit off, and the space is not spacious enough.

And the layout of the new stage took some thought.

Neither south nor north, neither east nor west, diagonally facing the corner of a corridor.

It is long from east to west and short from north to south. The long part is naturally occupied by men; while the short part is reserved for a group of female relatives.

In order to prevent the two sides from colliding with each other, the two-foot-long cloth curtain that extends out from the middle of the included angle cannot block the stage, but it covers everything near--as for the far-away one, the eyebrows and eyes can't be seen clearly from the left and the right. Naturally, it doesn't matter.

But when it came to the corridor, all the girls entered the table through the side door, and Aunt Xue sat on the chief seat.

Originally, she should be accompanied by Jia Yingchun and Li Wan.

But Xue Baochai saw that her mother was still in a trance, but she was afraid that something would happen to her again, so when she entered the table, she asked Li Wan to change her seat.
