The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

The West Wing of the small courtyard.

Seeing Wang's smoky and glamorous behavior, Sun and Liu were introduced into the hall. Aunt Xue gently lowered the curtain, turned her head back and explained with some embarrassment: "Although your sister-in-law is not serious, it is. A sentimental and righteous person, guarding your elder brother without evasiveness these days, and never dismissed him at all."

I saw Xue Baochai sitting slantingly on the marble arhat bed in the center, wearing a honey-colored brocade and lining with a lotus green gauze skirt. Taking advantage of the neatness, he also outlined the uneven figure extremely brilliantly.

She was the quasi-trusted son of her mother yesterday afternoon. Only then did she know that her brother had suffered another misfortune, so she rushed over early in the morning, but failed to chat with her brother. Someone outside reported that it was Sun Shaozong. Arrived with Liu Xianglian.

Therefore, the mother and daughter had no choice but to escape to the west wing for the time being.

Although it is said that ‘all evil and adultery are headed’, this is one of indiscretions, and it is already a taboo of being a wife and daughter, but it was Baochai who was mainly responsible for marrying the Wang clan, but now how can she comment on the Wang clan’s merits and demerits?

So when his mother tried to hide her ugliness for her sister-in-law, Xue Baochai only pursed his lips and did not answer. Instead, he got up and pulled his mother onto the bed of Luohan, sitting opposite each other across the Kangji of Ganoderma lucidum and red sandalwood.

Because she was sitting at home, Aunt Xue was wrapped in an imitation Tang Dynasty costume according to her preferences, with a hot charcoal red tube top, and a glazed outer robe. The pair of proud white and greasy linings were like jade and not jade. Such as cream and fat.

Compared with Xue Baochai on the opposite side, although there is less youthful color, it is also more familiar and attractive.

But she said that after being dragged by her daughter to sit down, she leaned her moderately plump body on the cushion, and then frowned and asked in a low voice: "My dear daughter, do you think that grandson will come out for your brother? Damn the culprit arrested and brought to justice?"

Baochai squeezed the small purple clay pot on the coffee table and poured a piece of Liuan melon slices for his mother. When the body of the pot was put back in the saucer, he said unhurriedly: "From my daughter's point of view, that culprit Don't take it."

"Don't take it?"

Aunt Xue was taken aback when she heard the words, immediately sat upright, leaned forward slightly, and concealed the tea cup of the Northern Song Dynasty Ru Kiln under the two towering towers, wondering: "Why is this? Could it be you? Brother's hardship, can't you endure it in vain?!"

"Where is it for nothing?"

Xue Baochai said helplessly: "My brother is now the son-in-law of the celestial official, who would dare to trouble him? It must be my brother who didn't know where he had offended any enemy, and he was called to fix it."

"but…"

"Furthermore, the man secretly came to seek revenge, but he was still very measured. It was a pure accident that he never hurt his brother's bowel disease, and it must not be his intention."

"It shows that the other party has scruples, and only when he can't bear it, he took the risk with anger.

"Even if he didn't intend to hurt your brother, he still caused the suffering!"

Aunt Xue saw her daughter telling the culprit, she felt a little annoyed, her chest was ups and downs, but she heard the kang table clinking, it turned out that the towering teacup was trembling, and it kept knocking on the tray. .

Aunt Xue hurriedly recovered her body, and then continued: "It's time to get people out and sort out the clues!"

Xue Baochai just shook his head: "Mom stays safe. In fact, if it is just these considerations, I don't want my brother to suffer this humiliation in vain. Just think about it. When my brother was attacked, he held a banquet in an annex of Baihualou. There are Ding Zhuang guarding the gate outside and servants inside, but the other side is as if he is in an uninhabited state. Obviously, it is not comparable to an ordinary strongman."

"And his humiliation has never hurt his brother's life or body. If it really becomes official, it will only be fined some money. Even if he asks the second brother of the Sun family to take him, what benefit can Brother Yu do? "

"Said that he must add new hatred to the old hatred, making him even more annoyed by his brother, and even when he takes the risk again, he may not be able to restrain himself and not hurt his brother's life."

"My son!"

After hearing this, Aunt Xue couldn’t help but leaned forward and grabbed Xue Baochai’s beautiful wrist. She ignored the splashing water in the tea cup and wet the hot charcoal tube top, and she tremblingly said: “So, this Wouldn't people be troublesome? Then...then I have to stop your brother quickly, otherwise, depending on his temperament, I will definitely ask Sun Jiajilang to take action!"

Having said that, he stood up and left the meeting.

"Mom panicking."

Xue Baochai hurriedly stopped her, and persuaded: "Don't say this in front of your brother. It's better to wait for Master Sun and the others to come out, and mother will take the time to say a few words."

When Aunt Xue heard these words, she was suddenly stunned. According to Xue Pan's bullish temperament, if she really said such soft words in front of him, he would not be agitated to do the opposite.

So he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, I will ask him not to intervene in this matter when Mr. Sun comes out."

"Do not."

Xue Baochai shook his head again and said: "The investigation still needs to be investigated. It is just to ask the second brother of the Sun family to investigate secretly. Don't alarm the other party, and not only find out the other party's backing, but also find out what grievances the other party has with his brother. "

"If it's a'misunderstanding', just ask someone to persuade you to make peace. The brothers and sisters have always been relieved, but if there is a suitable reason, it is not difficult to turn the fighting into a jade silk."

"If it's a'pimple' that can't be solved..."

Xue Baochai stopped talking when he said that, the unpainted and green eyebrows tightened slightly, and there was a bit of chill in the warmth.

Although Aunt Xue was a woman in a deep house, she was born with an incompetent heart, but she still vaguely sensed what her daughter meant. She trembled and blurted out: "You... Is it the most annoying that your brother has violated Wang Fa indiscriminately? How can he fail today..."

"Where did mom want to go."

Xue Baochai was so frightened by his mother that he was too busy to behave like a daughter, and said coquettishly: "If you really get that share, there will be Wang Shangshu, the second brother of the Sun family, and aunt, looking for a fair cause to send that person away, and What's the difficulty?"

Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief, stroking the tube top that was wet with tea, and complaining silently: "What you said in half didn't scare me!"

As he said, he took the remaining tea and poured his brain into his abdomen.

When the teacup was put aside again, Xue Baochai handed over the veil early, wiped away the traces of her mouth, and took the initiative to open the topic: "I heard that Xue Tao from the second uncle's family has been to Beijing a few days ago?"

This Xue Lou is the eldest son of Uncle Baochai's family, and is also Baochai's cousin.

"Brother Tadpole came without a half-day view, so he went in a hurry. I saw that he was really busy with his hands and feet not touching the ground. Not to mention you, even your brother was not alarmed. He only told Brother Tadpole that it was you. My brother went out of the city to go hunting, and he may be back some time."

Speaking of Xue Tad, Aunt Xue said with pity and admiration: "Speaking of him, he is half a month younger than you. Now he has supported his family business inside and out. Speaking of business in every way, It's kind of a shadow of your father and second uncle!"

As she said, she couldn't help but sighed: "It's also your brothers and sisters who are suffering. They haven't grown up one by one, and the cruel brothers went, leaving only our two women..."

Xue Tao's father had passed away two years ago, and he also left a pair of children. The eldest was the same age as Baochai, and the younger was thirteen, a few months younger than Lin Daiyu.

Seeing the big tears falling on his mother's face, Xue Baochai hurriedly squeezed her delicate body into her mother's arms, rubbing it on the wet tube top, and said softly: "It's all bad for daughters. Don't cry when you think of your sadness, otherwise, how can you go to see the second brother of the Sun family and Young Master Liu later?"

Aunt Xue took her daughter and dropped a few more golden beans, and then she burst into laughter and said, "Look at me, what are you talking about?"

As he said, he lifted his daughter to his feet, wiped away the tears with the kerchief, and said: "By the way, when Xue Tad passed by Jinmen Mansion, he also ran into Sun Jiaerlang. At that time, there was a sea of ​​people around the pier, Jinmen Mansion. Officials of all sizes were even more present. Xue Tad only thought that the governor of Zhili was going to travel, but later learned that he was sending Sun Jiaerlang back to Beijing."

"You also know that your cousin loves making strange people and strange things the most, so he specifically inquired about Sun Jiaerang's deeds in Jinmen Mansion, so he took advantage of the fate of entering Beijing on the same road and went to talk with him. I just know the relationship between our two families."

"So when he arrived at our house, Xue Tad told me, since your brother and Sun Jia Erlang have friendship, you might as well move some of the business from the south to Jinmen Mansion. Sun Jia Erlang will take care of him. I have suffered a debt; in the second place, I won’t be overwhelmed and let the servants underneath take care of them."

Speaking of this, Aunt Xue couldn’t help but angrily: "If you say that they are all people your father used, who knows that they dare to bully our orphans and widows in this way, if it weren’t for the Wang family’s power to clean up In a few early days, it is estimated that within a few years, our family will be exhausted!"

After Xue Pan married the Wang clan, he did not forget the original intention of borrowing the power of the Wang family to subdue the shopkeepers who did not obey the rules.

But here in the capital city, it’s okay to say that Jiangnan’s business is so high that the emperor is far away. Even if a group of people are temporarily frightened by killing chickens and monkeys, changes will inevitably occur over time.

Together with the brothers and sisters of Xue Pan and Xue Baochai, they all have to take root in the capital, and the focus of future development will inevitably be biased towards the north. That's why Xue Tao made these suggestions.

"Jinmen Mansion..."

Xue Baochai lowered his head and pondered for a long while, but finally shook his head and said: "It's better not to walk too close to the Sun family at the moment, and it won't be too late to make plans after the emperor's affairs are settled."

She always made up her mind at home, and Aunt Xue didn't care much about business or anything, so after hearing this, she turned over this article with a little regret.

After that, the two of them had nothing to do with each other, gossiping and talking about trivial matters in the palace.

While chatting, it was natural to mention that the Xiande concubine Jia Yuanchun was shortlisted as a ‘seed player’.

Aunt Xue lowered her voice and whispered: "When you went to Rongguo Mansion a few days ago, your aunt was still covering up and refused to tell me the truth. From your point of view, is this matter true or not?"

"This…"

Xue Baochai was hesitating and didn't know how to comment on the matter, but when the curtain was lifted, Wang rushed in from outside, shaking the water he didn't know where it was, and said softly: "Mother, sister, then The scumbag is clamoring to have a few drinks with Master Sun, but I can't persuade him, what to do with him, you quickly come up with an idea."

As soon as Aunt Xue heard this, she jumped up and said, ‘how can this be done’. She wanted to find the past and discourage Xue Pan from harming her body by fooling around.

Xue Baochai didn't care, shook his head and said: "If only Young Master Liu is here, maybe we have to go and persuade us, but since the second brother of the Sun family is also there, I will definitely not let my brother come here."

Wang is not only a profane master, naturally can't understand Xue Baochai's conformist appearance, but also relying on the strength of her natal family, has always loved Baochai tit-for-tat.

At this time, I heard her confidently, and immediately exaggeratedly exclaimed: "Oh~ Listening to what my sister said, it seems to be like a roundworm in the belly of Master Sun, but you don’t know what you think about that Bao brother. You can figure it out again. How many come?"

Xue Baochai knew her temperament a long time ago, so he didn't feel annoyed. He just said indifferently: "Brother Bao is the most pure-hearted, and all his thoughts and thoughts are on his face, but how can he try to figure it out?"

Wang sniffed when he heard the words, and waited for a few more sarcasm. Aunt Xue on the side quickly became a peacemaker, took the opportunity to break the topic, and inquired about the two talents, Sun and Liu, and what they had said with Xue Pan.

"Neither said anything important."

Wang Clan said indifferently: "In the beginning, the foolish guy was clamoring for revenge, and he was stunned by Mr. Sun's cursing in a few words. I still saw him such a well-behaved appearance for the first time!"

"Later, Master Sun said that he would send someone to investigate secretly, and it would not be too late to decide how to deal with the other party's origins and grievances with that nasty guy."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she couldn't help but glance back at her daughter, thinking to herself that Sun Jia Erlang had really thought of a place with her daughter.

Based on this closeness, and the respect of his son to Sun Jiaerlang, if Jia Baoyu and Zhuyu were not in front of him, it would be an excellent choice to recruit him to be a good son-in-law.

But now...

Seeing that Jia Baoyu had a chance to become a real uncle of the country, he naturally had to fix him wholeheartedly, and even the ‘testing’ he had prepared before had no choice but to give up.

Just thinking of this, UU read www.uukanshu.com but saw Ying'er also got in from outside, with water drops on her temples, bowed and said, "Madam, uncle, please come over and speak."

"Call me over to speak?"

Aunt Xue was taken aback when she heard this, and said in amazement: "Master Sun, they have already left?"

"That's not true."

Ying'er shook his head and said, "I heard that we are going to discuss things about our family's business in Jinmen Mansion."

Open a business in Jinmen Prefecture?

Aunt Xue couldn't help but glanced at Baochai. Seeing her daughter was also looking at herself, she shook her head hurriedly: "Your brother is still recuperating these few days. I have never mentioned what Tadpole said to him."

Xue Baochai's only hesitation was to tell her: "Since this is the case, mother may as well respond in advance, and when it comes to returning to the shop, it is still our family's final say."

Aunt Xue agreed, and she picked up the curtain and went outside with Wang, only to see the strands of Xiyu that turned into a pouring down.
