Detective in the Red Chamber

At the moment, the annoyance was folded in half, and Xing Zhong's wrist was pushed with the backhand, and he said vaguely: "It has been spread all over the street, can there be fake ones?"

After hearing this, Xing Zhong slowly loosened the other party's collar, and then slowly sat back in his original position. He was silent for a long while in a daze, then jumped up suddenly, and rushed out of the restaurant like flying.

"Hey, hey! Lord Xing, I have agreed to treat you today!"

A few cronies chased to the door, and saw that Xing Zhong had run away early and disappeared, and the shopkeeper and the waiter followed closely behind, so they had to turn back cursing.

Going back to the table, seeing that the table of wine and food was all stained with the filth spit out by Xing Zhong, I hated it even more at the moment, you kept scolding me one sentence at a time, but in the end you couldn't bear to leave like this, so you did it again. Dealing with it, he licked up the half pot of residual wine.

Not to mention these people, but to say that Xing Zhong flew all the way back to the east courtyard of the Sun Mansion, and did not talk to Xing Xiuyan who came out to welcome him. He paced back and forth in the living room like an ant in a hot pot.

Seeing him like this, Xing Xiuyan knew that it was not a 'disaster' - if it were a real disaster, Xing Zhong's legs and feet would have been bad for a long time, so why would he walk away like this?

So I ignored him, and sat back in the corner of the wall, put the bamboo dustpan on my lap, took the embroidery and continued to work.

"So what's the matter?"

At this time, Mother Xing came out from the curtain, and seeing her husband's panic-stricken appearance, she couldn't help frowning and asking her daughter.

At first Xing Xiuyan saw that his father had lost his mind and was hanging on to Sun's house, so he simply went back to Rongguo Mansion by himself.

Who would have thought that Xing Zhong would take the bottom line and take his wife over.

After all, Xing Xiuyan is no better than Xue Baochai, she grew up in the Rongguo Mansion since she was a child, how can she stay alone for so long?

Coupled with Xing Zhong's repeated urging, and even his mother came forward to persuade him, he had no choice but to move back to Sun's house.

However, she always felt very sorry for such annoyance, so she has been adding a few juniors to Sun recently, embroidering some fringe clothes.

Hearing her mother's question at this time, she stopped what she was doing again, and shook her head to meet her mother's gaze: "It's just like this when I came back from outside, and I haven't said a word yet."

"Then leave him alone, it's probably because of too much cat urine!"

Mother Xing remembered that he ran barefoot in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, which made the Sun family uneasy, and she lost her face at the moment, spat and went back to the room.

"Come back to me!"

Xing Zhong finally spoke at this time, first he scolded his wife, then grabbed the daughter in front of him, snatched the show bag with his hands, flung it to the ground, and said angrily: "When is this so long, you are still only focusing on making fun of it?" These bastards!"

Xing Xiuyan got up silently, without a word in reply.

But Xing's mother stopped doing it, bent down to pick up the beautiful cloth, and said angrily: "You are so good, why are you so crazy with the child?"

"Am I crazy? I think you two are crazy!"

Xing Zhong roared angrily: "This Chenglong Kuai son-in-law is about to fly away, and you two are still tinkering with these crap all day long..."

As he said that, he went to snatch the beautiful cloth from his wife's hand, but was avoided by Xing's mother.

Xing Zhong became more and more annoyed. He jumped up and said, "Do you know how much silver that Liu Quan, who just came back, brought back from the south? 10,000+ taels, a whole 10,000+ taels of snowflake silver!"

"It's hard to find a wealthy son-in-law who can be an official and make money, even with a lantern in his hand, but you just watched him... unexpectedly..."

He was furious, but couldn't think of a suitable adjective for a while, so he could only stomp his feet and say: "Anyway, no matter what method we use, we have to settle this title before Sun Jiaerlang goes out to fight!"

Chapter 804

Rongguo Mansion, Hengwu Garden.

The maid, Nanny Zhang, came into the inner room with a cup of freshly cooked medicinal soup, and was about to go to Aunt Xue's bed, when Li Wan got up and said, "Leave me alone."

After Aunt Xue caught the cold these two days, Li Wan was more attentive than Xue Baochai, and the servants had already gotten used to it.

Therefore, Nanny Zhang didn't show much courtesy to her, she just gave in and handed over the small casserole.

Li Wan conveniently placed it on the tea table beside the bed, first stirred it evenly with a spoon, then scooped some up and put it in his mouth to warm it up. Just as he was about to feed it to Aunt Xue, who would have thought that Aunt Xue would suddenly turn over and turn her face to in.

Seeing this, Li Wan glanced out of the corner of his eye to confirm that the nanny Zhang had arrived outside, then suppressed his voice and persuaded: "Even if there is something big, my aunt shouldn't trample on my body..."

Before she finished speaking, Aunt Xue turned around abruptly, stared at Li Wan in shame and indignation, and asked, "Am I humiliating myself, or are you humiliating me?"

Li Wan was silenced by her, lowered his head and sighed, and put the spoon back into the casserole, stirring it slowly.

For a while, the whole room fell silent, except for the ding-dong sound of the soup spoon stumbling on the casserole.

After all, Aunt Xue has a gentle temperament, just now she burst out with anger, but now she saw Li Wan bowed her head and said nothing, she softened unconsciously.

He wanted to open his mouth to make amends, but he really couldn't find a reason why he should comfort Li Wan.

Finally, the raised body lay down slowly, her eyes were slightly closed, and there was no trace of joy or anger on her face, but the ferocious ups and downs under the brocade quilt showed her inner unrest.

Hey~

After an extraordinarily crisp crashing sound, Li Wan finally spoke again: "I said I was urging you to live a life of wantonness, but in the final analysis, I was afraid that the news would leak and the future of my children and grandchildren would be missed—since it was out of selfishness, my aunt wanted to kill you." If you want to scold, you are free to scold, but you must take care of yourself. If you really fall ill at this time, who will Baochai rely on?"

Hearing her mention of her daughter, Aunt Xue's heart suddenly became angry again, and subconsciously wanted to stand up, but the rising anger made her sick body weaker and weaker.

So he gasped heavily, and had to lie on his back and said in a bitter voice: "If you don't mention Baochai, you can just return it. You know that my sister was thinking about matching Baochai and... with that person the other day!"

My own mother-in-law wants to match Xue Baochai and Sun Shaozong?

Li Wan couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to ask about the 'Golden Jade Match', but she was an inner beauty after all, so she figured out what Madam Wang was thinking in an instant.

At the moment, she sighed for Lin Daiyu first - she didn't think that after Baochai quit, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu would have any good results.

On the contrary, according to my mother-in-law's temperament, I am afraid that I will have to find "strong support" for my precious son again.

Thinking about it in my heart, it was inevitable that my mouth was a little slow, and when I wanted to speak again, there were already hurried footsteps outside.

Li Wan had no choice but to shut his mouth first, and then pretended to stir up the soup.

Unexpectedly, that person walked in and took a look, but it turned out to be Suyun, his personal servant girl.

Li Wan's heart relaxed at the moment, and seeing Suyun seemed to be startled by the wind, he immediately scolded: "What the hell are you doing, girl? You are so hot, you are not afraid of scaring my wife!"

In the past, Suyun would have been respectful to Aunt Xue, but now that she is a comrade in arms who has carried the same gun, her fear is reduced by half.

So he grinned, saluted loosely and said: "Don't blame my aunt, I heard something rare and rushed to report it, but I forgot the etiquette for a while."

Aunt Xue only thought that she was also dragged into the water by Li Wan, so instead of hating her family, she felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

But in front of Li Wan, she was unwilling to reveal her true intentions, so she just shook her head lightly without saying a word.

Li Wan also felt that the atmosphere was stiff, and besides, it was not suitable to continue talking about the topic just now, so he said casually: "What rare thing? Look at you running out of white sweat in winter."

"I heard……"

Suyun first deliberately prolonged the sound to create a sense of mystery, and then said gloatingly: "I heard that the second grandma embezzled money from the public account and secretly did business in the south, earning a full 10,000+ taels of silver! "

As soon as these words came out, Li Wan and Aunt Xue frowned, and then asked in unison: "Who said this?!"

Suyun replied: "Last night when wiping the dominoes, Lai Wang's daughter-in-law said that she was bald - I heard that in a few days, the white money will be transported into the capital - Wang has been in the south for the past few years , What did you say that you are in charge of the clan field sacrifices, but you actually did such a big thing!"

After hearing what she said, the suspicion on the faces of Li Wan and Aunt Xue became even more intense.

Although Aunt Xue said that she didn't care about things on weekdays, she also knew the weight of 10,000+ taels of silver - how did her niece earn so much money in such a short period of time because she didn't know much about business?

And Li Wan has always been thinking about the identity of the housekeeper's wife, so he is more concerned about the affairs of the public account than others.

According to her understanding, since the shortfall was checked three years ago, if there is a discrepancy of one hundred taels of silver in the public account, there may be some, but it is absolutely impossible to say that the loan can earn 10,000+ taels of money .

However, it is indeed a bit strange that Laiwang has been stationed in Jiangnan for the past two years.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard another burst of footsteps outside.

This time it was Mrs. Wang who came.

Li Wan's master and servant hurriedly got up to greet them, but Mrs. Wang didn't say anything more to them. She came to Aunt Xue's bed with a smile, and said, "I told you to wear more on weekdays. What's the matter? It's really stained." Is it cold?"

As she spoke, she turned her head, and immediately a servant girl brought over a gold-painted mahogany box. Mrs. Wang opened it and pointed to the inside and said, "It's your luck, the old mountain ginseng that Koryo just paid tribute to For your blessing, the palace rewards us with a few, which are just for you to strengthen your body."

When Aunt Xue heard that it was a tribute from the palace, she refused repeatedly.

Mrs. Wang ignored it, and asked someone to put the old mountain ginseng on the table, and waved her hands again: "Okay, let's talk about our own feelings, you two go down first."

Li Wan bowed in response, led a kind of woman and servant girl out of the door, and closed the door behind him.

That is, at the moment when I turned around and closed the door, I vaguely heard Mrs. Wang say: "Have you thought about what I said that day? I heard that the second son of the Sun family..."

The words in the back will no longer be heard as the door is closed

.

But Li Wan already knew the purpose of his mother-in-law's visit.

It seems that she is very concerned about brokering this marriage.

Thinking about it, even if I think Xue Baochai is not good enough for 'Baoyu', but after all, she is a niece who has been underestimated since she was a child, and I still hope that she can marry a good family.

But Aunt Xue is now afraid that she will never agree to this marriage.

If you were forced into a hurry, and accidentally leaked...

Li Wan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly used his brain again, thinking about how to settle the matter, so as not to be seen by his mother-in-law.

Chapter 805 Tour Guide

[I have a cold, and my energy is really low. I will update two chapters today, and I will update it again tomorrow. 】

Not to mention that in Hengwu Garden, the sisters, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have different ideas.

But this morning, Wang Xifeng heard that Laiwang's daughter-in-law had leaked the news, and immediately the three corpses jumped violently, and smoke came out of the seven orifices.

Wang's daughter-in-law was called over, she was slapped on the head and face, and she was scolded by her mother-in-law.

This is for the sake of Laiwang's two years of hard work in the south, otherwise he would pick up the bench and smash her brains out.

After this wave of venting was over, Wang Xifeng calmed down a bit, and was alone in the flower hall, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

That's right.

From Wang Xifeng's point of view, it's not entirely a bad thing if this matter is brought to light, at least she can spend the money justifiably.

Of course, this is also because the current situation has undergone a huge change—although this change is not what Wang Xifeng likes to see.

The reason why he wanted to run the timber business secretly with the Sun family was because he was afraid that the public would intervene and share his income.

Now that it is a foregone conclusion, there is no need to worry about anything.

Why, Jia Lian hated Sun Shaozong deeply at that time, and Wang Xifeng, as a married woman, naturally couldn't openly cooperate with the Sun family.

But now...

Then if Jia Lian knew that there was such a reason to get close to Sun Shaozong, he might not be happy if he was happy, so how could he object?

Therefore, the two obstacles that were most dreaded at the beginning are nothing now.

As for other minor details, there are also ways to deal with it.

For example, Jia Lian used it as a shield, saying that it was because he was afraid of annoying Jia Lian that he didn't dare to publicize this matter in the mansion.

For another example, the choice of Sun's family as a partner is to support Jia Yingchun, a sister-in-law - this can be regarded as politically correct.

And there is...

In short, Wang Xifeng has prepared a full stomach of words, just waiting to confess in front of others.

Unexpectedly, after waiting left and right, several serious masters in the mansion didn't say a word, which made Wang Xifeng feel as if he punched the empty space, feeling very depressed.

But this matter was not made clear by others, and she took the initiative to explain it herself, which made it seem like there was no silver 300 taels here.

After much deliberation, I still need to communicate with Jia Lian, and let him, a "man" who lives with his family, come and expose this matter thoroughly.

So Wang Xifeng immediately ordered people to go to the Wangjiang Tower near the Prison Temple and invite Er Ye Lian, who was learning opera, back.

…………

However, Qian Qi, the servant on duty in the front yard, received orders from Wang Xifeng, so naturally he shouldn't be negligent, and went all the way to Wangjiang Tower, waiting to go in to find his second master, but he never expected to be raped The knife was blocked outside the door.

"doing what?!"

Qian Qi was taken aback, stepped back three steps, and then yelled sternly: "Men are from the Rongguo Mansion, try to touch me!"

The two men with horizontal knives didn't answer, they just held the scabbards and stared at him blankly.

At this time, Qian Qi could already see that the two people in front of him were probably not the sons of the Han family, but the savages of Fanbang—so they might not be unwilling to answer, but they didn't understand at all.

I couldn't help muttering in my heart, why did this savage from Fanbang go to Wangjiang Tower to block the door?

Could it be that the boss of Wangjiang Tower hired a few barbarians to be the nursing home?
