The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 71 Telling Gossip Baoyu Suspicion (Pink)

Xiren entered the room with a smile on her face. The displeasure Qingwen brought to her just now couldn't be compared with this bowl of steamed walnuts.

"Why did you ask the kitchen to cook this dish again? I heard the people in the small kitchen complain two days ago, saying that we are like second-class masters. They have no time to serve girls and masters, and they have to pay for us girls out of their own pockets. "

Jia Baoyu didn't look up at Xiren, but just replied flatly: "Oh, next time I don't ask people to pass on this dish."

Xiren originally wanted to act coquettishly in front of Baoyu, to let him know that she was different from ordinary girls, but Baoyu looked like a piece of wood today, which made Xiren eat a turtle.

But who is the attacker!She hurriedly said: "You should also beat the people in our house. There are no rules all day long. The old lady is pity for Miss Lin and Miss Bao and the others. She is afraid of the cold wind blowing, so she made a small house in the garden." The kitchen. It’s good now. The girls didn’t say how many dishes to order, but it gave the little maids a place to take advantage. You are the master of our Yihong Courtyard. I don’t know how many servants are staring at you. You should let Qingwen, Qiuwen and the others calm down."

Baoyu raised his head slowly, and looked at Xi Ren calmly, "What? Who got involved in a lawsuit outside and asked you to arrest him?"

There was irony in Baoyu's words, but it was a pity that Xiren was used to being at ease in front of him, so he didn't realize it for a while.

Xiren smiled and said: "It's not a lawsuit, but a few days ago I heard Mrs. Liu secretly complaining to the woman at the door, saying that the daily expenses of our Yihong Courtyard are the largest, and it is better than the second or third girl. There were a few extra dishes there. I didn’t believe it at first, thinking it was Liu’s sister-in-law telling the truth, but after watching it coldly for two or three days, it was exactly the same as what Liu’s sister-in-law said. Either Qingwen wanted fried gluten, or Qiuwen wanted it. The same steamed eggs. They are all the celebrities in front of you, Er Ye, which one will Sister-in-law Liu dare to offend? You must suffer yourself, and take care of these aunts and grandmas!"

Jia Baoyu said lightly, "Can you send someone to ask for it?"

Xiren pursed his lips and smiled, and scolded Jia Baoyu coquettishly: "You don't know who I am? I'm most afraid of taking advantage of others." Xiren naturally sat on the tall embroidered pier beside Jia Baoyu, and looked up. Picking up the big bowl of steamed walnuts, "I have you to think for me, and I need to bother others!"

There was no second pair of chopsticks, so Xiren picked up the spoon in front of Baoyu, scooped up a piece of walnut, and handed it to Jia Baoyu's mouth.

Baoyu took it without even thinking about it. The two of you took a bite and I took a bite, but it was delicious.

"By the way, do you know who I met just now?" Xiren pretended to be indifferent, and it really caught Baoyu's attention.

"Who?"

"Jade in the old lady's house, you know, I'm originally from the old lady's house, so I have a better relationship with Yuanyang and Feicui. I just talked a little longer at the corner of the door, so I wasted some time." Seeing that the teasing was about the same level, the man put down the walnut cup and said quietly: "Jade told me that Miss Xing went to the old lady's place just now, and she came here specially for Second Grandma's affairs."

Jia Baoyu clenched his right fist and slammed it hard on his left palm: "I knew, she definitely didn't just come here for the show!" Jia Baoyu recalled Xing Xiuyan's expression just now, he didn't seem to be panicked, but rather confident.

Jia Baoyu happily asked: "Did Fei Cui say that Sister Xing persuaded the old lady?"

Hearing that Baoyu started calling "Sister Xing" again, Xiren frowned, and his tone softened a little: "My second master! You think so well of people! Listening to what Fei Cui meant, Miss Xing didn't I didn't come here to intercede with the second mistress and their husband and wife, but to persuade the old lady to separate the family!"

Jia Baoyu got up with a flick of his sleeves, and said in a vicious voice, "You are talking nonsense! How could Sister Xing do such a thing?"

Xiren's heart felt cold.

Although she guessed that Xing Xiuyan would come to Yihong Courtyard after leaving Jiamu's place, she didn't expect that just sitting there for a moment would make Baoyu change his attitude from the previous few days.It was so easy for her to persuade Baoyu to dislike Xing Xiuyan, but how could she know that when this woman came, all her previous efforts would be in vain!
Xiren couldn't help hating Xing Xiuyan in his heart.

"Why am I talking nonsense? Not only did Fei Cui understand what I said, Yuanyang, Liu Li, who didn't know about the girls serving in the house? Now the old lady is closing the garden and not allowing us to go out, otherwise the news would have spread in."

Jia Baoyu sneered intermittently: "Yes! The news spread too slowly. Sister Xing just had less than a cup of tea, and you can tell the truth. No wonder everyone said in private, I, Yihong, There are no secrets in the yard, it is more transparent than a crystal jar, what you did in the first day of junior high school, the whole garden knows about it in the second day of junior high school, even the ladies outside the garden came to ask questions, I don’t believe that these are all done by little girls Good thing. Without your instigation, who would dare to act recklessly!"

Xiren was panting heavily, and was about to say a few thorny words, but Qingwen ran in from outside in a panic. When she crossed the threshold, she panicked and almost didn't get tripped.

Jia Baoyu shouted angrily: "Who is outside with a knife to scare you? You are so panicked!"

Qingwen didn't argue with him, and besides, she didn't have the time to pay attention to these things now: "Go and see, the old lady and the elder master and the second master have already agreed to ask the second master Lian to separate out! Now we have invited Uncle Zhen from the East Mansion also sent servants to invite respectable elders in the clan!"

The matter was full of uproar, but Jia Baoyu always believed that the matter was nothing but thunder and rain, Lian's second sister-in-law would be fine, and Lian's second brother would be fine, why did the matter settle down after half a day?
Jia Baoyu quickly looked at Xiren: "You just said that sister Xing persuaded the old lady to separate?"

Xiren said coldly: "Second Lord believes what I say now? Miss Xing said more than that! It's just that Second Master now doubts my intentions, and it's meaningless for me to say it. You should ask Yuanyang, you can trust her, right? !"

Qingwen looked at Jia Baoyu with big eyes for a while, and then looked at Xiren for a while. Although she didn't know what charade they were playing, Qingwen was happy to see Baoyu's lost soul and Xi's angry expression.

One was rewarded by the wife, and the other was rewarded by the old lady. Why should she be overwhelmed by attackers everywhere?Qingwen was never convinced, and always wanted to find a chance to restrain Xiren.

Maybe today is a good time?

Qingwen came up to pull Baoyu with a smile: "What's the use of asking these things, let's focus on the second grandma's affairs first!" After finishing speaking, she took Baoyu out of Yihong Courtyard, leaving Xiren angry in place.

The women on the door saw the young masters and girls approaching menacingly, who would dare to stop them?It is imperative to let them out.

The Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion were all gloomy, and no one in Jia Mu's upper room dared to breathe loudly, not because of anything else, but because the two masters, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, had made up their minds and seized Jia Lian's succession. Choose a day, the husband and wife will leave the house, and from then on, one family will become two families.

This car, Xiuyan, left Jia's house and urged the coachman to drive home from time to time. When they arrived at Fengwei Hutong, the woman who accompanied the car said strangely: "Girl, there are seven or eight horses tied to our house!"

Xiuyan heard the words and hurriedly lifted a corner of the curtain to look outside, sure enough, all tall horses, all of them are very vigorous, they are not the mounts of ordinary merchants or small officials, but more like military horses.

"Tell the coachman not to go through the main entrance, but to pass through the corner door at the back."

The Xing family's driver made a big circle, and there happened to be a merchant at the corner door to deliver rice and meat. When the butler saw the girl, he hurriedly greeted her with a smile.

Seeing him, Xiuyan couldn't help letting go of her hanging heart: "Didn't you go to the yamen to find the master?"

"Coincidentally, the girl just went to Jia's house, and the master and the younger one entered the house. Hey! It's all about the Qi family's troubles. Their grandma committed suicide by hanging herself last night, leaving a confession letter , Master and all the adults were left in the yamen to settle the case, so they didn't come back."

Xiuyan was shocked: "Grandma Qi? How is this possible? We live in Fengwei Hutong and haven't heard any news."

The butler smiled wryly, looked around at his family members, and then said in a low voice: "Master Song, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has personally intervened in this matter, who dares to speak up? Otherwise, the master would have sent the young man to deliver the news to the house, and it would have saved the wife and The girl is worried. The one that the Ministry of Criminal Justice saw last night was very strict! The young one went to the yamen this morning, but was detained by the guards before he could speak, and he gave me the name of our master, so he let me in."

"When I passed by, I saw a few horses tied to the door. What kind of distinguished guests are they?"

When the butler heard the girl ask this, his eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled: "It's not like what the girl said, it's a distinguished guest among the distinguished guests. That's Song Qianhu from the Zhenfu Department. , thanks to Song Qianhu's ability!"

Xiuyan, however, was suspicious, and met a startled horse right after all?And she felt uncomfortable when she heard the name of Zhenfusi.

Who in a good family associates with the Zhenfusi?

In fact, in Xiuyan's heart, the deterrent power of the word Zhenfusi is similar to that of the underworld, and it will be no good if it is encountered.

The housekeeper carefully looked at the girl's face, and said in a low voice: "It is said that this Song Qianhu is the youngest son of Mr. Song, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he had a very good chat with the master, so he stayed for dinner. Girl."

"Okay, I see. The housekeeper should go first. I have something to discuss with my mother."

Xiuyan led Meilian, Miying and the others through the temporarily deserted back garden, instead of going back to her own courtyard, she went directly to the upper house, Mrs. Lu.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Lu was talking to Mrs. Feng who lived in the same alley.As soon as Feng saw Xiuyan, she fell in love with her, so she took back the jade bracelet on her wrist and insisted on giving it to Xiuyan.

Xiuyan didn't dare to accept it. Mrs. Feng's husband was just a seventh-rank master of Zhan Shifu. Now that the new king has succeeded to the throne, there is no crown prince, so Zhan Shifu is very leisurely, and naturally there is little oil and water.The Feng family didn't show much in the alley, Xiuyan was afraid that people would be polite, if she took the bracelet, it would make Feng's difficult, so she looked to her mother as if asking for help.

Feng's face was stern: "Good boy, do you think the gift from your aunt is not expensive?"

"What did my aunt say, I"

Feng Shi almost put the bracelet on Xiuyan's slender wrist, a pool of green water surrounded the snow-white wrist, even Feng Shi was a little dazed watching it.
