Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 147
See the new upstairs.

At this time, the master was not here, so Xiren and Meiren gathered in front of the window and looked down. After a while, seeing that Baoyu had not returned yet, Xiren said, "Isn't it because Second Master Bao is in trouble?"

Last year, when Baoyu changed clothes, he had to have a maid take off his sweat towel. It was not until this year that he tried to change clothes by himself. Xiren was afraid that Baoyu would not be able to get out if his clothes were dirty.

Because he said again: "I'll go down and take a look, you just wait here."

Meiren was fascinated by the play at the moment, so she nodded in agreement. When the attacker came downstairs, he first went to search in the small courtyard of the guest house, but there was no sign of Baoyu. He immediately became anxious and looked for him in the garden again.

Just after turning around a dining hall, I could vaguely hear shouts coming from a distance. Xiren was puzzled, not sure if it was Baoyu, so he hurriedly stepped up. When he arrived in front of the Fishing Bridge, he saw Baoyu splashing and shouting in the water, Xiren's expression suddenly changed.

Her future depends entirely on Baoyu. If something happens to Baoyu, I'm afraid she will be even worse off than those maids who are paired with boys!

She wanted to go into the water to save her, but she couldn't swim. Because he just said "I'll call someone", he turned around and ran away.

This place is very close to the entrance of the garden, and just now the attacker saw Li Weijian and Jia Lian whispering something around the carriage. She staggered and ran over. When she saw Li Weijian, she shouted, "Fourth Master Jian, help me!"

Li Weijian was feeling happy in his heart, unfolding the wrapped oilcloth and touching the brand new machinery. Yan Fengzhen was still joking just now, saying that Li Weijian felt closer to this thing than to his concubine.

This was not wrong. In Li Weijian's heart, this steam engine was indeed extremely important. While he was groping, he suddenly heard a shout from behind him. He turned around and saw the attacker stumbling over.

"Assault? What happened?"

Xiren was out of breath and said, "Second Master Bao lost his footing and fell into the water. Fourth Master Jian, please go and save Second Master Bao."

As he spoke, Xiren knelt down with a pop, his eyes full of pleading.

Baoyu fell into the water? Could this idiot be in a bad mood and unable to think about things for a while?
Li Weijian didn't care about the steam engine at this moment, turned around and ran towards Piaoyu Bridge. Jia Lian followed closely, and Yan Fengzhen followed at first, but was gradually left behind by Li Weijian.

When they arrived at the bridge, Li Weijian suddenly looked playful. Jia Lian was about to go into the water, but was grabbed by Li Weijian.

"Brother Jian?"

Li Weijian coughed and said to Baoyu in the water: "Brother Bao, try standing up."

"I...puff...save...puff...jian——"

At this moment, Jia Lian also noticed that the water here was extremely shallow, koi carps were swimming in the water, and the sand and gravel underwater were clearly visible, and the water was probably no more than knee deep.

Jia Lian sighed and said: "Brother Bao, please stop flopping. The water here is shallow and you can get up straight!"

"Puff...uh-" Baoyu finally stopped flopping and sat in the water for a moment, then stood up. He was still short in stature, but the water only reached his thighs, so he wouldn't drown anyone.

Li Weijian greeted with a smile: "Why did Brother Bao fall into the water? Come up quickly, Xi Ren is shouting, and everyone will be here later."

Baoyu walked through the water, and when he reached the bridge, he was pulled up by Li Weijian and Jia Lian. The good-looking young master in troubled times was now a drowned rat in a state of embarrassment.

Li Weijian was indeed right. As soon as Yan Fengzhen arrived panting, he saw Yingying Yanyan quickly walking towards this side.

Li Wan walked the fastest, and when he saw Baoyu standing at the end of the bridge, his brows relaxed slightly. Before leaving, the old lady specially asked him to take good care of Baoyu. If something happens here, I'm afraid someone will die!

As he got closer, Li Wan asked, "What happened? How did Brother Bao fall into the water?"

Xiangyun followed closely and asked, "Brother Ai, is he not standing firm?"

Baoyu was crazy just now, but now he thought about it for a while and said, "It seems like someone kicked me in the back."

"Huh? Who is such a bastard?"

Baoyu said with lingering fear: "Thankfully the water here is shallow, otherwise I would be in trouble this time."

Glancing at Daiyu, Baoyu suddenly felt happy when he saw a hint of concern in her eyes. He was beaten by Jia Zheng last time, and the sisters were very concerned. If I get sick again this time, won't Sister Lin talk to me again?

However, it was a hot summer day in June, and the water removed the dampness and greasiness, but it actually seemed a little cool, and it would not make people sick at all. Baoyu suddenly felt sorry.

Daiyu was still a little concerned at first, but when she saw that Baoyu was fine, she looked at him again. Thinking of yesterday's situation, he immediately snorted and turned his head.

Baochai came over at this moment, pulled Baoyu and said, "How could anyone kick brother Bao? Fourth brother Jian, is there a bad guy hiding in this garden?"

Li Weijian thought to himself and said, "I'll ask someone to search it."

Yan Fengzhen suddenly stopped him, coughed and said: "Where did this bad guy come from in broad daylight? There is no need to mobilize a large number of people. Since this person attacked from behind, I guess he didn't want others to see his face." He made some gestures, looked at the flowers and said: "What a coincidence. Okay, looking at the flowers that were watered just this morning, I can’t say there are that person’s footprints in the flowers, and I’ll probably be able to figure them out by comparing them.”

Jia Lian joked and praised from the side: "After all, he is the second son of the Shaosi Kou family. This godlike ability in investigating crimes is simply a family inheritance."

Yan Fengzhen didn't like such flattery, he just waved his hands casually and went to the flowers with Li Weijian. Li Weijian looked carefully, and sure enough he saw a line of messy footprints on the ground.

Yan Fengzhen leaned over and measured it with his hands, thinking: "The shoe print is so small, I would have guessed that the person was less than five feet tall -"

Li Weijian's heart moved. He was less than five feet tall. The footprints were clearly in the style of men's shoes. There were only two men in the garden who were less than five feet tall. One was Jia Lan and the other was Jia Huan. Jia Lan has always been with Li Wan, so it is impossible for him to come and attack Baoyu, so there is only one possibility left.

His mind was spinning, he grabbed Yan Fengzhen and winked at him. Yan Fengzhen had been friends with him for several months, and they became familiar with each other's temperaments. Because they understood each other, they immediately kept silent.

Li Weijian turned around and said: "I saw the footprints, but they are a little messy. Sister, take Baoyu to change clothes first. I will send someone to check them later."

Brother Lian, please take care of me first. I'll go there later. "

Jia Lian agreed.

Li Weijian winked at the third girl, Tanchun, and said, "The third sister is successful in practicing swordsmanship. Please stay and help me."

Li Wan gave some instructions and then led the people, clustered with Baoyu, toward the guest courtyard. Meiren who followed him quickly went to Zhichuntang to get Baoyu's clothes.

Watching the group of people go away, Li Weijian turned around and saw Tan Chun picking up a tree stick from somewhere, holding it in his hand and making a posture. When he saw Tan Chun looking over, he said: "Brother Jian, are there any traces of bad people? What a pity?" I didn’t bring a sword this time, otherwise I would definitely make the bad guy look good.”

Yan Fengzhen coughed and Shi Shiran walked away. Li Weijian called Tanchun, pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "Third sister, please look."

"Well -" Tanchun leaned over to observe with a tree stick on his back, and immediately frowned. She was already smart, so Li Weijian dismissed everyone but left her alone, and asked her to look at her footprints. After just a brief thought, she knew the details.

The third girl suddenly turned livid and yelled, "You idiot without a screwdriver! He did such a thing! I have to teach him a lesson today!"

Li Weijian quickly grabbed Tan Chun and whispered: "Third sister, let's just teach you a lesson in private. If this matter becomes public-"

Jia Huan's behavior, to put it seriously, is murdering his brother! Thanks to the shallow water, if he accidentally fell into the deep water, how could Baoyu still be alive now?

If this kind of thing spreads out, no matter what happens to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, even the old-fashioned and square Jia Zheng will not be able to spare Jia Huan.

Last time, Baoyu was beaten to the point of being raised by Jia Zheng with a ruler for several days. This time, Jia Huan was definitely beaten to death!
After all, they are biological siblings. Although they hate to see Jia Huan in their hearts, when things come to a close, Tan Chun cannot bear it anymore and will always protect her.

Therefore, Tan Chun glanced at Li Weijian gratefully, frowned thoughtfully and said, "But... what will fourth brother Jian do when the time comes?"

"Just say that I got mixed up with the bad guys, what else can I do?"

Tan Chun bit his lower lip, let out a long breath, and said to Li Weijian, "Fourth Brother Jian Ende, I will ask Brother Huan to come and express his regrets to Fourth Brother Jian in the future."

"It's not worth mentioning, but... Third sister, Brother Huan's temper needs to be restrained. Who is scheming behind the scenes today? Who knows if he will collude with thieves to murder his brothers and sisters in the family in the future?"

"I'll save it. I'll make it clear to my aunt when I get back."

Li Weijian nodded, and then Tanchun left with deep thoughts.

Seeing the little girl walking away with the tree stick, Li Weijian thought to himself, it was a pity that he was not in Rongguo Mansion right now, otherwise he could have watched the excitement.

Forget it, the steam engine parts are still on the carriage. Where can he have fun?

............................................................

Over there, Baoyu changed her clothes. Although she was happy that her sisters were surrounding her, she was the only one who didn't see Sister Lin coming forward to speak, because she didn't know whether she should be happy or worried.

Jia Lian came with him and led two young men to guard and watch over a group of people waiting to return to the new building. This time, Baoyu got his wish and went to the second floor. However, because of the missing "bad guy", the girls felt uneasy and chattered endlessly, but they lost the leisurely atmosphere they had just had.

But it was said that the third girl came back from a spring visit to see the new building. When she met her, she saw her maid Cui Mo coming downstairs in a hurry. Seeing Tan Chun, Cuimo came over and said, "Girl, Second Master Lian and Grandma are discussing that this gangster will be missing for a while, so it's not good to spend the night in the garden.

Grandma told Aunt Fu that the banquet would begin at noon and she would return immediately after eating. "

This is what it should be. Tan Chun nodded slightly and then asked, "Have you seen Brother Huan?"

"The third master should be upstairs at the moment. He just came back, and the third master even looked up from upstairs to observe."

"Well, you go and clean it up."

Tanchun secretly felt lucky, his face was calm. Thinking that it was always inappropriate to carry a stick up there, he threw it aside. She went straight to the third floor and saw Jia Huan lying on the window, watching the play feebly.

Tanchun walked straight over with a livid face. Jia Huan turned his head and kicked his head when he heard the footsteps, and suddenly fell silent.

"sister--"

Tanchun gritted his teeth and pinched Jia Huan's ears with his hands. Jia Huan was in pain and just about to scream, Tanchun said, "You think others can't see the good things you do, don't you?"

Hearing this, Jia Huan was immediately frightened and did not dare to speak.

Tanchun turned his ears, and Jia Huan grinned in pain. He lectured: "It's a blessing that Fourth Brother Jian covered it up for you. It's not that wrong. When I get back home and find out, how can you still be alive?"

After all, Jia Huan is still young. Although he is evil-minded at this time, he is just a naughty boy. As soon as he heard Jia Zheng's name, his eyes turned red and he begged: "Sister, I don't dare to tell this master. It's all... my mother taught me to do this!"

Tanchun was also moved with true feelings, and said with red eyes: "Your second brother Daobao is dead, can the house still tolerate you?"

That Baoyu was the lifeblood of the old lady and his wife, and they drowned without any explanation. How could they let it go? At that time, the government was alerted, and even Tanchun could see the traces, let alone the government officials?

When the time comes, Jia Huan will not be mentioned, and Aunt Zhao will be driven out of the house. Although she, the daughter of Aunt Zhao, would not be kicked out, she expected that her life would be worse than death!

Knowing that this was not the time to teach his brother a lesson, Tanchun said fiercely: "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

After pinching Jia Huan's cheek hard, Tanchun gathered his thoughts and went to the second floor.

Xiangyun caught a glimpse of Tanchun returning and asked quickly, "Has Fourth Brother Jian ever caught a bad guy?"

"Not yet. I thought they would be recruiting people right now."

Xiangyun nodded and saw that Tanchun seemed to have red circles under his eyes. He was quite puzzled and asked, "Why do you have red circles under your eyes?"

Tan Chun suddenly glared and said, "I kindly went up to the third floor to tell Brother Huan to stop running around. I followed the gangster's tricks carefully, but he just acted so casually and didn't care. I really can't bear to be angry with him!"

"Brother Huan -" Xiangyun said meaningfully, feeling that he really disliked seeing Jia Huan.

Tanchun on the side watched the words and expressions, and saw that Xiangyun really believed it, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly asked Xiangyun where the drama was going as if to make fun of him.

Tanchun thought she had covered it up, but she didn't know that her every move had already fallen into the eyes of interested people. Sister Bao has been observing Tanchun carefully since she came in, observing her words and expressions, and thinking deeply in her heart. Li Wan is responsible for looking after all the children, and he naturally wants to take a look at Tanchun who has just come in.

Baochai could figure it out, and so could Li Wan. She just thought in her mind that it would be better to do less than to do more, so she never mentioned it.

However, Daiyu was being pestered by Baoyu at the moment and turned her head to look at the show below, so she never saw the strange color on Tanchun's face.

Xichun likes to go to the theater, and even more likes to 'go to the theater'. At this moment, he pointed to the distance and said, "Look, Fourth Brother Jian is leading people to inspect the garden!"

Everyone looked over and saw that Li Weijian gathered his young men and the young men brought by Jia Lian and Baoyu, and spread out in teams of three, each holding a stick, and began to search in a decent manner.

Tanchun saw it in his eyes and felt grateful in his heart. This time...thanks to Fourth Brother Jian, otherwise it would be really unimaginable!
