Detective in the Red Chamber

After asking seven or eight questions in a row, the girls were satisfied.

Xue Baoqin sighed suddenly, and said with a sullen face, "It's a pity that I'm not a man, otherwise I would have to learn from the second brother of the Sun family to avenge justice for others!"

Before the words fell, Shi Xiangyun next to him burst out laughing.

Xue Baoqin thought she was making fun of him, so he pulled her into his arms and said in a stern voice: "When the time comes, I will take your little hoof away and become a Mrs. Yazhai!"

"whee……"

Shi Xiangyun was still laughing uncontrollably. Seeing Xue Baoqin put his hands under his armpits, he hurriedly begged for mercy: "I'm not laughing at you, but I suddenly remembered that I loved my brother last year, and he also said that he would avenge others, but in the end..."

"Cough, cough!"

Jia Baoyu coughed twice, and then said solemnly: "This tea room is small, it's really not a place to talk, let's go back to the garden first."

With that said, he left the tea room in embarrassment.

But before he walked a few steps away, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells behind him.

Knowing that it must be Shi Xiangyun, who told the story of his embarrassment last year, Jia Baoyu blushed, and he didn't dare to wait for the girls to meet again, so he walked out sullenly.

"Brother Bao!"

At this moment, Xue Baochai suddenly called out from behind, and Jia Baoyu turned his head subconsciously, seeing that she was chasing after her alone, he felt more at ease.

But when Baochai came near, he looked around first, and then asked, "Where is the second brother of the Sun family? Has he brought the prisoner back to the yamen?"

"This is not."

Jia Baoyu shook his head and said, "Second Brother said he wanted to stay and see if he could find out the flaws of the real Hongyuan—now he must be near the mourning hall."

After a pause, Jia Baoyu asked curiously, "Why is Sister Bao looking for Second Brother?"

"It's nothing."

Xue Baochai casually said something perfunctory, and seeing that all the sisters behind her were also catching up, she quietly blended into it without a word of explanation.

Although Jia Baoyu felt a little strange, she didn't seem to want to say more, so she didn't ask questions in front of others.

But they said that when they returned to the Grand View Garden, they discussed the case over and over for a long time, and they didn't disperse until nightfall.

Let's not talk about others.

Just saying that Xue Baochai led Ying'er back to the Hengwu courtyard, and then heard the maid report that Aunt Xue came back in the afternoon, so she locked herself in the room and never went out until now.

Xue Baochai thought of all the abnormalities of her mother in recent days, and saw that the bedroom was dark and not even a lamp was lit, and she couldn't help feeling flustered.

So, ignoring everyone's demeanor, he lifted the corner of the skirt three steps and two steps, rushed to the door of the bedroom, and slammed the door loudly.

"Mommy mommy!"

After calling several times, there was no response. Xue Baochai was anxious to knock the door open, but a candle light suddenly lit up inside.

Immediately afterwards, Aunt Xue opened the door and asked with a puzzled look: "What's going on outside? Has something happened?"

Xue Baochai grabbed her mother's arm, looked up and down carefully for a while, and suddenly asked: "Mom, you... have you ever cried?"

Aunt Xue was taken aback when she heard the words, she subconsciously wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands, then she laughed and said, "Just now I accidentally thought about what happened when you were young, and somehow dropped a few drops of golden beans."

As he said that, he also looked at his daughter's eyes: "Look at you, you must have just come from Yihong Courtyard, right? Have you eaten before? If not, how about our mother and I roasting some venison? Just like your brother did last time."

She didn't wait for Xue Baochai to agree, so she ordered people to bring the venison and various sauces.

During this period, Xue Baochai made several indirect remarks, but her reaction was more natural than before, as if she had just relieved a heavy burden from her heart.

It is said that Xue Baochai should be happy to see her mood improved, but for some reason, his heart is always difficult to be at ease.

After hesitating again and again, Baochai dismissed all the maidservants, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and talked about Sun Shaozong's promotion to court today to settle the case, while secretly observing his mother's reaction.

In fact, after these days of side-talking, Xue Baochai had already vaguely guessed that the depression in her mother's heart was probably inseparable from Sun Shaozong.

It's just that she still couldn't figure out what was going on - after all, no matter how much she thought about it, she would never have imagined that there would be an adulterous relationship between her mother and Sun Shaozong.

However, what was surprising was that when Sun Shaozong was mentioned again this time, Aunt Xue was a little uncomfortable at first, but after a few words, she uncharacteristically asked for details.

You know, even if it was just about the Sun family, she would try her best to change the subject.

What happened again this afternoon?

…………

"Ah! Ahh!"

Sun Shaozong sneezed twice in a row, rubbed his nose and sat up on the Arhat bed.

I was thinking in my heart whether this is the real Hongyuan talking about himself, or Ma Yizhen was cursing in the prison, a pair of white jade-like arms wrapped around his neck from behind.

At the same time, a hoarse and lingering voice came to my ears: "Master, do you want me to move the brazier closer."

Although Sun Shaozong felt that he didn't catch a cold, but his body was stained with sweat, and it wouldn't hurt to bake it, so he nodded slightly.

After getting his response, the woman behind her immediately walked to the bedside on her knees, and moved two pots of charcoal fire not far away with her embroidered shoes.

In the flickering candlelight, one could see her petite figure wrapped in a filial gown, with the upper two sleeves rolled up high, exposing her delicate arms;

Because it was a bit more intense just now, it was a bit inconvenient for her to move at this time, but she became more and more charming as she walked, supporting the wind and swinging willows.

But in front of the brazier, reflected by the charcoal fire, the two flawless bare feet were painted with a coquettish color, looking in a trance, it seemed as if a pair of twin golden lotuses had grown out of the fire.

After all, I still can't hold it!

Seeing this, Sun Shaozong couldn't help sighing.

Leaving aside the murderous behavior later on, it seems that what he and Youshi did is not much better than that of Ma Shi and Ma Yizhen.

"What is Grandpa thinking?"

Youshi's lazy voice sounded in his ears again, and Sun Shaozong realized that she had returned to the bed, with two golden lotuses in the middle, climbing up his calves.

Maybe it was just now that he really absorbed the heat from the charcoal basin. Wherever his bare feet touched, there was a fiery restlessness, and before it subsided in time, it surged up to three inches below the navel.

At the same time, the sensual guilt in Sun Shaozong's heart receded like a tide.

Stop it!

In the previous life, he followed the rules and worked hard, and didn't get much benefit. In this life, he finally became a privileged class, so why worry so much?

Let's have fun in time!

Chapter 854

[The fourth-generation i3, which has been used for five and a half years, has been honorably discharged from the army. The debugging of the new computer took more time than expected. Yesterday it was past two o'clock in the morning. This afternoon, I found out that the coding software and office software had problems. There are too many points-so I will make an update today, and see if there is a chance to make up later. 】

The cold wind flickered, and the trees were rustling.

The candles in Changcui Nunnery had been extinguished long ago, blending into the surrounding night, but on the rugged path in front of the temple gate, there was a lonely figure approaching with a lantern.

Seeing it approaching, the visitor handed over the lantern to his left hand, and wanted to knock on the courtyard door with his fingers, but that white finger couldn't land on the door panel no matter what.

At this moment, crying suddenly broke out in the meditation room on the left, and the heart-piercing movement made the visitor completely stop knocking on the door.

Slowly lowering his right hand, sighing silently, he turned around and left.

But at this moment, a candlelight suddenly floated out of the meditation room, followed by Miaoyu's questioning voice: "Is sister Xiuyan outside?"

Xing Xiuyan's footsteps paused, and she turned her head subconsciously, only to see that the chai gate was divided to the left and right, revealing a green and round thing.

Just being inexplicable, the edge of the green thing trembled for a while, and a jade-like powder arm grew out. While opening the firewood gate, he greeted: "What are you doing outside, why don't you come in quickly."

Xing Xiuyan recognized Miaoyu's voice, and took a few steps forward with the lantern in hand, only then did she see clearly that the green thing was actually the brocade quilt wrapped around Miaoyu's body.

As for looking chubby, it was because Miaoyu was holding a two-year-old girl in her arms.

I don't know if she felt Xing Xiuyan's gaze, the girl raised her head from Miaoyu's shoulder, looked sleepily at Xing Xiuyan for a few times, but seemed to be stabbed by the light of the lantern, so she stretched out a chubby little girl from under the quilt Small hands, rubbing in the eye sockets indiscriminately.

"Come on, be careful of catching a cold."

Miaoyu hurriedly stuffed her arm back into the brocade quilt.

The girl didn't struggle, she took advantage of the situation and rested her head on Miaoyu's shoulder, groped down with her small hands, and grasped the high ball with ease, humming contentedly.

Seeing this, Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but smile at each other.

Immediately Xing Xiuyan helped Miaoyu tuck up the corner of the quilt, and complained in a low voice: "Why did my sister come out wearing a coat?"

"If I get fully dressed and come out again, how can I still call you?"

As Miaoyu said, she retreated back into the temple on her own, her sharp chin pointed towards the gate: "Close the door, let's go back to the house to talk."

Xing Xiuyan was afraid of freezing their teacher and apprentice, so she hurriedly crossed the threshold, and dropped the latch with her backhand, and walked back to the meditation room side by side with her.

Xing Xiuyan extinguished the lantern, and Miaoyu put the candlestick back on the lamp stand, and since there was no decent chair in the meditation room, both of them sat on the bed.

Xing Xiuyan took a closer look and confirmed that Miaoyu and the girl had been wrapped tightly in brocade blankets. Then she felt relieved and asked her doubts: "Did my sister know that I was coming?" ?”

Miaoyu smiled slightly, rubbed her cheeks against the hair on the back of her neck, and said softly: "I heard you criticize the fourth girl yesterday, so I know you will not be able to hold back sooner or later, and you will have an argument with her."

After a pause, she added: "Besides, it's so late, and you came to my place with a lantern, but you were too embarrassed to knock on the door. I'm afraid you are the only one."

Xing Xiuyan blushed when she heard the words, and then remembered the previous argument with Jia Xichun, but couldn't help but sighed.

Jia Jing died suddenly. As a daughter, Jia Tanchun, not only did not stand in front of the coffin, she even refused to wear filial piety at home.

Such a rebellious behavior naturally made Xing Xiuyan, who lives with him, look sideways.

Returning to Nuanxiangwu from Yihong Courtyard tonight, Xing Xiuyan couldn't hold back, and persuaded Jia Xichun a few words on the sidelines.

Unexpectedly, these four girls were furious because of this, and they yelled so that the entire courtyard was panicked.

In this way, how can Xing Xiuyan stay in Nuanxiangwu?

I had no choice but to light a lantern all night and come to join my friend Miaoyu.

At this time, recalling Jia Xichun's unkind face, while feeling aggrieved, I couldn't help but have some unbearable speculations.

"elder sister."

She hesitated and asked: "Could there be something in it..."

But Miaoyu shook her head before she finished asking, "What does her family matter have to do with you and me?"

Then he sighed again and said: "Although these four girls are in the world of mortals, they are too unrepentant - when I first came to this mansion, I hit it off with her at first sight, but later this Quacui nunnery gradually became smoldering. , gradually drifted away."

Excusing Jia Xichun a few words, Miaoyu changed the subject, and said: "Actually, in my opinion, what you are persuading is not those four girls, but your own obsession - if it wasn't so, with your usual prudence His temperament will never be so reckless."

"The obsession in my heart?"

Xing Xiuyan chewed on these words over and over again, and suddenly smiled wryly for a while.

Miaoyu was right, the reason why she was so dissatisfied with Jia Xichun's disobedience to human relations was precisely because she herself had recently disobeyed her parents' orders.

Although Xing Xiuyan doesn't think her choice is wrong, but based on the mainstream values ​​of "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker", she still has accumulated a lot of guilt in her heart.

And Jia Xichun's behavior further aroused this emotion.

Otherwise, with Xing Xiuyan's usually prudent and cautious personality, how could he take the initiative to criticize Jia Xichun when he was under the fence?

After thinking through this verse, most of the annoyance in her heart dissipated, replaced by indescribable depression and exhaustion.

At this time Miaoyu suddenly made a silent gesture, and then carefully put the girl in her arms on the bed, and covered the girl with the brocade quilt on her body.

Seeing her reach out for the patchwork clothes on the bed again, Xing Xiuyan hurriedly said: "You just lie down, and I'm going to sleep here today, so why don't you want to see each other from me instead?"

Hearing what she said, Miaoyu didn't put on any pretense, kicked off the cloth shoes on her feet, and lay down on the bed side by side with the girl.

At this time, the girl who had been called son suddenly closed her eyes and hummed again: "Fat, meat..."

Miaoyu's cheeks were flushed, but seeing her stretching out her small hands to grope under the quilt, she still turned her body sideways and greeted the two balls.

"ah!"

In the next second, Miaoyu couldn't help Xuexue screaming in pain, frowning and glaring at the girl, then sighed helplessly.

puff~

Seeing her like this, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help laughing out loud, and sighed with emotion: "Before I came to Beijing, I never imagined that my sister would be in such a situation."

Miaoyu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't say it's you, sometimes when I think about it, I also feel like I was in a dream."

As she spoke, she patted the empty seat behind her: "Lie down too, it's easier to talk."

Xing Xiuyan has been used to her since she was a child, so she won't have any taboos.

At that moment, he undressed and took off his outer robe, revealing a graceful figure wrapped in plain white obscene clothes, then carefully lifted the quilt and lay down behind Miaoyu, but deliberately kept a distance from her, so as not to pass the cold air on his body.

It was said that it was convenient to talk while lying together, but the two of them were lying on the bed in a 'comparison' shape, and they lost the interest in talking for a while.
