The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 552 Dark Forest [Middle]

As soon as he saw Wang Xifeng coming out of the corner, Tanchun cried out inwardly. This must be the news that Jiao Shun is coming to the Grand View Garden, so the second sister-in-law came here after smelling it.

She didn't have any hostility towards Wang Xifeng, after all, a woman who already had a wife would not become her competitor, but she was worried that Wang Xifeng would affect her plan.

Furthermore……

If the second sister-in-law can come, can't the second sister, Lin sister, and fourth sister not come?

When she was secretly complaining, Xiren went up to him and explained the reason of the matter, and said: "I was looking for it and talked to the third girl about the plum blossom fan - let's not hide it from Second Grandma, I have been here for a while now. I've been worried all day because I'm afraid that something went wrong in our courtyard."

"If it was easy to say in the past, the left and right were just asking the second master to make amends to the girls, but now there is an extra princess, not to mention that the wife often asks, even the old lady has told me several times not to be rude. If this breaks out..."

"You just relax."

At this time, Tanchun also packed up his mood and greeted him, interjected: "The princess is a kind person, and even joked that although the thief of this family is annoying, she is a member of the company, so it is expected that she will not make any noise about it."

"It would be great if it were like this."

Xiren clasped his palms together and was about to recite the Buddha, Wang Xifeng flung his handkerchief and joked, "Why didn't you recognize the thief before? Why do you think so much about this invisible thing? Let's get rid of the little one first." It is the right thing for the ancestors to find out——if Brother Shun is not allowed to go to nothing, the master and wife may not be able to blame him."

"That's right, I really don't know where he went!"

As soon as he said this, Xiren couldn't help stamping his feet anxiously.

At this time, Wang Xifeng reminded again: "Since he wants to write articles, he must have a table, chairs and benches, right? There are tables, chairs and benches in this garden, and there are only a few places that are secluded and deserted. You can always find them if you look for them one by one. "

In fact, Xiren and Tanchun had just ordered so, but after hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Xiren still slapped his forehead and pretended to be stunned: "Thanks to Second Grandma for pointing the way, otherwise we would have wasted so much effort!"

So he called a little maid to inform the various search teams.

The little maid was a little baffled, and the attacker gave her a dark look before hastily taking orders.

After the little maid left, the three of them gathered together, chatting and searching aimlessly, but except for Xi Ren, the other two's thoughts were not on Baoyu at all.

Especially Tanchun, who was struggling all the way whether to have a showdown with Wang Xifeng.

But before she could make up her mind, Sheyue sent someone to send word that she had found Jia Baoyu in Liaotinghuaxu.

When everyone got the news, they hurried to Liaoting Huaxu, only to see Sheyue and the others surrounding Baoyu and a steamed bun, looking like they wanted to persuade but dared not.

When he got closer, Jia Baoyu's dusty and sweaty face came into everyone's eyes.

"My little ancestor!"

Xiren suddenly jumped up, rushed forward a few steps and said anxiously: "Didn't you say it and write an article? How did you make it look like this?!"

Baoyu didn't answer, but just looked down at the earthen bun in dismay.

Xiren became even more anxious when he saw this, and turned to look at Musk Moon beside him.

"It was like this when we came, and we didn't listen to persuasion or advice."

Sheyue said, pointing to the rockery group not far away, and explained: "Someone just saw Erye's pen, ink, paper and inkstone placed on the rock, so they found it here by following the vine."

At this time, Tanchun carefully observed the surrounding situation, and asked in surprise, "Second brother is burying flowers?"

Immediately, he was very puzzled: "This is a first-class and elegant thing, but why did my brother get into such a mess and look like he has no master?"

The word burial of flowers seemed to catch Jia Baoyu's brainwaves, so he turned his head to look at everyone, and sighed quietly: "I made an appointment with Sister Lin last summer, and we will bury flowers and compose poems together every year from now on. Who can think that things are right and people are wrong in a blink of an eye..."

"OK OK!"

Hearing him talking about Lin Daiyu foolishly, Wang Xifeng hurriedly interrupted: "What are you talking about? Look at him sweating all over, and the clothes on his body are so thin. If it catches the wind, who can tell?" Are you worthy of guilt?"

After hearing this, Xiren hurriedly pulled Baoyu to ask: "Second Master, where is the cloak you wear when you go out?"

"Here it is!"

A little maid hurriedly held up the cloak that was as dirty as a rag in her hand, and said with a bitter face, "Second Master just used it to wrap flower petals, and it's so dirty that I can't wear it."

"Why don't you hurry back and get a new one?!"

Xiren looked around, and muttered anxiously, "I don't know if there is a place to rest in the wind."

Tanchun listened on the side, and immediately remembered the cave on the rockery where Aunt Zhao had struggled, but before she could speak, Wang Xifeng pointed in the opposite direction: "There is a cave made of grape vines over there." Although the swing awning is not comparable to a decent house, it is still good enough to rest your feet."

They half-dragged and half-dragged, and followed Wang Xifeng's guidance to find the pergola, where they surrounded Baoyu and sat on the swing frame, while serving as a human wall to keep out the wind.

Xiren took a handkerchief and wiped it from the top of his head to his neck, and was about to reach into his clothes to help him wipe off the sweat from his front and back, when he heard Baoyu repeating the words "Sister Lin" over and over again, he couldn't help but pause. , wry smile again and again.

Originally, he was worried about Lin Daiyu, but after getting the marriage gift from the emperor, it became even worse. Whenever he saw something related to Lin Daiyu, he would be dazed for a while.

That's not to mention, every time after being stunned and yelling about the troubles in the mundane world, it's better to shave off the troubles and live at ease.

Xiren had been troubled by this for a long time, but seeing that he was ill again today, he hesitated for a moment, then handed the handkerchief to Sheyue, beckoning her to replace him, then invited Wang Xifeng aside, and whispered: "Second Grandma, Lin Is it time to take care of the girl's marriage?"

"Ok?"

Wang Xifeng was suspicious at first, and then suddenly said: "Are you trying to get rid of the bottom line?"

Xiren nodded and said: "Seeing that Miss Xue is about to marry here, but the second master is always thinking about there every now and then, in case something happens to melon fields and plums - in my opinion, it's better to stop him as soon as possible." think."

"That's right!"

Before Wang Xifeng could respond, Tanchun, who was pricking his ears, said first, "Second Sister, Sister Bao, Second Brother, and even Sister Xiangyun have marriage contracts, so it's Sister Lin's turn."

According to her calculations that day, Lin Daiyu was the greatest threat.

But now that Shi Xiangyun has never married into the Jiao family, it is naturally impossible for the Jiao family to blatantly play the banner of being a concubine, and Sister Pianlin's lofty and arrogant temperament will never take the initiative to mention this matter.

So at this stage, as long as the mansion takes the initiative to find a marriage for Sister Lin, this biggest potential opponent can also be ruled out.

"This……"

But Wang Xifeng didn't immediately agree. First, she watched Lin Daiyu grow up since she was a child, and she couldn't bear to see the mansion easily marry her off for Baoyu's sake; Who knows if it will be self-defeating by then?

So he said perfunctorily: "You can tell your wife or the old lady about these things, but what's the use of talking to me, who is not in charge of the house?"

Xiren originally pointed out that Wang Xifeng was able to make a point in front of his wife - even though she was Mrs. Wang's confidant, she did not dare to step over her head to arrange the wedding of the master's family.

But seeing Wang Xifeng's look of rejecting others thousands of miles away, he knew that he had entrusted someone who was wrong, and was about to go back and make up a few sentences, when Tanchun took the initiative to say: "This matter is really wrong, if not, I will find someone I have a chance to mention it to my wife to see what kind of rules my wife has."

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng glanced at Tanchun in surprise, and thought that although these three girls have always been lenient, they usually don't get involved in such things, but why they are eager to try today, as if they wished to put Lin girl immediately. Get married?

Could it be that there was a rift between the two of them?
Or……

Even though Wang Xifeng wanted to break his head, but he didn't want to sell Jiao Shun's goods, which made Tanchun worried, so he chose to act first.

They talked here for a while, and the maid who went back to get the clothes brought a new cape, and besides the maid, there was Shi Xiangyun riding a bicycle, and Cui Ling pulling a rickshaw.

Shi Xiangyun rode close, got out of the car with one leg and said in a hurry: "I heard that Ai...Second Brother is not feeling well, so he specially sent this rickshaw here! What about others? But where is the injury?"

When she was in a hurry, she could not tell the difference between "love" and "two", but now she is a big girl who is about to leave the cabinet, and she can no longer be as unscrupulous as she was when she was a child, so even though she was in a hurry, she tried her best to correct her accent.

"Girl, listen to the nonsense of this little hoof!"

Xiren glared at the little maid holding the clothes, grabbed the peacock feather cloak she was holding in her arms, and while explaining to Xiangyun, he parted from the crowd and went forward to wrap Baoyu into a big emerald green rice dumpling.

Shi Xiangyun heard that Jia Baoyu was just sweating all over and was feeling a little emotional, so he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to greet Wang Xifeng and Jia Tanchun who were beside him.

But both of them looked absent-minded.

Just now, the two of them suddenly thought that each other was an obstacle, but no matter how big the obstacle is, how could it compare to Shi Xiangyun's real brand, Mrs. Jiao?

It's okay if you are a shy person, because you will not dare to see Jiao Shun because of the rules, but Shi Xiangyun is always straightforward, and he and Jiao Shun often communicate with each other, I'm afraid...

"I heard Brother Jiao is coming?"

Sure enough, without waiting for others to speak, Shi Xiangyun took the initiative to bring up the matter: "That's really a coincidence, I just made two small clothes for Zhixia, and I was thinking of sending them to Cuilu. Since he is coming, Then I'll just send it directly to Yihong Courtyard."

Xiren naturally has no objections.

Although Tanchun and Wang Xifeng were reluctant, they couldn't find anything wrong with them - besides, they always felt a little guilty when they saw the Jiao family's main wife.

Although Baoyu was fine, everyone half-coaxed and half-persuaded him to get into the rickshaw, and the maids took turns pulling him to the Yihong Courtyard.

When they got to Yihong Courtyard and asked if Jiao Shun hadn't come yet, Xiren heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked Jia Baoyu to wash and change clothes.

Taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather, Wang Xifeng, Jia Tanchun, and Shi Xiangyun sat around the stone table in the yard, and asked the maids to set up two fruit plates, and chatted about gossiping while eating.

In fact, Wang Xifeng and Jia Tanchun had nothing to talk about, they just didn't want to show their chicken feet in front of Shi Xiangyun, so they did their best.

"correct."

As he was talking, Shi Xiangyun suddenly remembered something, so he suppressed his voice and said: "Second sister-in-law, I was at Sister Yingchun's side yesterday, and I heard from the maids that the monthly payment has been pressed for a month..."

"Ah~"

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Xifeng spread her hands and said, "I have to find a way to delay until now? There are too many expenses in August and September, and the family can't turn around for a while. What can I do? It's not like I can't do anything." Here, just save it and distribute it next month."

"Oh."

Shi Xiangyun nodded. What she actually wanted to ask was not this, but to wonder why her monthly bill was not in arrears, and secretly meant to fight for Yingchun.

But looking at Wang Xifeng like this, it is obvious that the place where the mansion is in arrears of salary is not only the Jinlou, but he himself has become a special case.

As for why he only treats himself preferentially, he doesn't need to think too much about it, it must be taking advantage of Brother Jiao again.

She was one of the most impoverished people in the garden, and whenever she prepared gifts for her sisters, she could only do some embroidery work by herself.

But now that Jiao Shun is asking about the cold and warm every day, everything is better than what the mansion has prepared, so he will naturally have ample money on hand, so seeing that he is not treating the second sister harshly, he thinks about taking some out to help. .

or……

Why don't sisters share in the rain and dew?
Just think of a suitable excuse, don't make people think that you are giving alms.

Just thinking of this, I suddenly heard the gatekeeper's wife come to report that Uncle Jiao had entered the garden.

The three got up at the same time, but they heard the woman continue: "I heard that Madam has other matters to discuss with Uncle Jiao, so I invite him to the Qingtang hut first."

Tanchun's heart moved when he heard the words, and he was about to use Shi Xiangyun as an excuse to ask Ying to go to the hut in Qingtang to 'inquire and inquire'.

She didn't want her to speak, so Wang Xifeng raised his hand and pinched Shi Xiangyun's face, jokingly said: "Look at you girl who is so anxious, are you afraid that he will be caught by his wife and won't be able to get away? Forget it, let it go. I'll take a look for you, and when I see Brother Shun, I'll tell you that you can't wait for anyone here, and you're going to become a husband-wife stone."

"sister in law!"

Shi Xiangyun stomped his feet shyly and coquettishly, but Wang Xifeng let out a string of laughter like silver bells, and led his maidservants away.

Seeing this, Jia Tanchun gritted her silver teeth and clenched her fists. Originally, she was thinking about whether to have a showdown with Wang Xifeng, so that she could use Wang Xifeng as a cover.

But the second sister-in-law thought of everything with her, hindering her again and again, but it made Tanchun completely extinguish her thoughts of peaceful coexistence.

Now that there is no one to help her cover up, Sister Feng is blatantly doing everything she can, if I set up a door for her again, wouldn't she want to overwhelm her in the future?

But if he didn't ask her to help cover it up, how could he have the opportunity to tell Brother Jiao his heart?
