Detective in the Red Chamber

After hearing these words, Xing Xiuyan felt warm in his heart.

Since she went to Beijing with Xue Baoqin on the same boat, she has always been closer to the sisters of the Xue family. Although she and Daiyu are congenial in temperament, they seldom interact with each other in private.

Lin Daiyu never thought that something was going to happen, but Lin Daiyu spoke out so righteously.

But the more this is the case, the more Xing Xiuyan is unwilling to drag Daiyu down, not to mention that this matter has been initially settled, if she wants to go back on her word at this time, where will she leave her parents?

"Thank you sister for your kindness."

Xing Xiuyan got up from the cushion, saluted solemnly across the tea table, then shook her head and said, "I was indeed a little bit unwilling at first, but now I have thought about it a long time ago—it seems that I am in the current situation. If you can escape this catastrophe, how do you know there will be no next catastrophe?"

After finishing speaking, I felt that this was a little inappropriate. After listening to it, people would think that marrying into the Sun family was purely self-defeating.

So Xing Xiuyan hastily added: "Furthermore, I just don't want to be a concubine. I don't have any prejudice against the second brother of the Sun family..."

Speaking of Sun Shaozong, the dream from last night resurfaced in his mind, and his cheeks were hot with embarrassment.

Seeing such a scene, Lin Daiyu misunderstood what happened at the moment, and immediately withdrew her serious expression, and said with a smile: "Since that is the case, I am overthinking-in fact, although there is always a struggle for favor in that family, but the second son of the Sun family Brother is a good family man, as long as my sister does her best, she won't be afraid of being bullied by anyone."

As he was talking, he heard footsteps outside from far to near.

The two of them changed the topic in a tacit agreement, but they never wanted to open the door, but they saw that besides Jia Baoyu and Miaoyu, there was Wang Xifeng who had just escaped from the predicament.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Daiyu and Xiuyan hurriedly stood up to say hello.

"I'm really late!"

As Wang Xifeng said, he grabbed Xing Xiuyan's hand, looked her up and down, and finally shook his head and sighed: "My sister's appearance and character are really thanks to my uncle!"

Immediately, the topic changed, and he said indiscriminately: "Since we have been wronged in the marriage, let's live as comfortably as we can in the days before we get married! According to me, we can just build a separate yard in front, and when the time comes My uncle and aunt are all here, and if you need anything to prepare, just talk to me directly!"

She did it in one go, which made Xing Xiuyan a little at a loss, and subconsciously refused: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid it's inappropriate..."

"What's inappropriate?"

After the attempted ashes picking incident, Wang Xifeng became more and more powerful. Knowing that Xing Xiuyan was worried about Jia She and his wife, she pointed at Sang and scolded Huai: "If there is any unsightly thing that dares to spout manure, just tell me, look at sister-in-law Don't tear its dog's mouth!"

Xing Xiuyan was grateful when she heard this, but she didn't dare to stay in Rongguo Mansion for a long time, so she refused repeatedly, and Wang Xifeng gave up.

In fact, half of her was sincere, and the other half was deliberately trying to confront Jia Amnesty.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of Xing Xiuyan's incident to embarrass Jia She and his wife, and announce his strong comeback by the way.

Now that the plan has come to nothing, she didn't force it, instead she smiled and said, "Actually, before the end of the year, Ping'er is going to marry, and you will take care of each other by then. If there is any difficulty, just ask your second sister to make the decision." that is."

Although Xing Xiuyan had not been here for a long time, he also knew Ping'er's well-known character, so he immediately responded.

After all, Wang Xifeng was busy, so he took her to comfort her again, and then a little girl came to the door, saying that the old lady had some orders, so she had to rush away.

Because it seemed that Shi Taijun was ill, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu hurriedly followed.

So in the blink of an eye, only Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu were left in the originally full Zen room.

The two looked at each other silently for a long while, and Miaoyu suddenly said hesitatingly: "Maybe I'm just pretending to be passionate. If you agreed to this marriage just because of the jokes before, why..."

Xing Xiuyan shook her head, and said helplessly: "Daddy is so focused on climbing high branches, and with such an aunt, I really don't dare to procrastinate any longer, otherwise I don't know what kind of martial arts I would marry."

After a pause, she smiled again: "But sister, you can rest assured, those words of mine are not jokes!"

Miaoyu didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow when she heard the words, but she mispronounced all the scriptures all morning as the word "Sun Shaozong".

…………

Two flowers bloom, one for each branch.

But it was said that Wang Xifeng and others arrived in Jiamu's courtyard in a hurry, only to find out that it was a false alarm-not only was the old lady not sick, she was still leaning forward and back with Shi Xiangyun in her arms and smiling.

Wang Xifeng called the clumsy maid outside and scolded her bloody, and when she turned back into the room, she saw the old lady pulling Baoyu and Daiyu and asking about Xing Xiuyan's marriage.

When she learned that Xing Xiuyan had made a decision to go to the Sun family to be a concubine, the old lady flexed her fingers and calculated, and finally frowned and said: "Everyone next to Erlang of the Sun family is good, but this one followed him." That elder brother, who is not yet married, took so many concubines first."

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but slander: Which of your own children and grandchildren is a fuel-efficient lamp?

But he said with a smile: "How many he marries is his family's business, and it doesn't cost us a penny. What kind of heart are you doing?"

Mother Jia shook her head noncommittally, cast a sidelong glance at Shi Xiangyun, and then sighed again.

When Qingxu was watching the play, because Sun Shaozong picked the unicorn, Jiamu had thought in her heart to match his marriage with Shi Xiangyun.

But before he even opened his mouth, the Shi family and the Wei family warmed up.

Although the old lady is optimistic about Sun Shaozong, it is inconvenient to directly intervene in her family's affairs.

Later, Wei Ruolan went to court, Shi Xiangyun's marriage was settled, but Sun Shaozong skyrocketed, and he seemed to be the hottest figure in the younger generation. Mother Jia naturally remembered the old things again.

only……

How could Shi Xiangyun, with his temperament of distinguishing loves and hates, be able to stand the favor of so many people?

Besides, before Sun Shaozong got married, he already had a concubine's eldest son, and he was secretly conferred the title of seventh rank. I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, the old lady let out a third sigh.

That's all~

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and Shi Xiangyun is still young now, so she can't wait for her uncle to come back from Yunnan and Guizhou, so she can find a suitable family.

But how do people know that in this short period of time, Jiamu's heart has turned so many thoughts?

They only laughed and quarreled with her for half an hour, seeing that the old lady was not in good spirits, the three younger ones took their leave first and left.

Wang Xifeng originally wanted to go to the front yard to do housework, but the old lady grabbed her wrist and took advantage of the situation to fend off the maid in the house.

Seeing the seriousness of the matter, Wang Xifeng immediately felt a little uncomfortable, and forced a smile: "What is the old ancestor going to say to his granddaughter-in-law? I have small arms and legs, don't scare me away. "

Seeing that she was still smiling, Jia Mu added another hand, two dry but warm hands wrapped around Wang Xifeng's catkin, and said quietly: "It is said that she is a grandson's daughter-in-law, but I also looked down upon it since I was young." You grew up, in front of me, what else is there to hide?"

He paused, knowing that Wang Xifeng would definitely not open his heart if he didn't reveal the matter, and then said: "That wolf-hearted thing, after all, was born from my October pregnancy, I can't guess what bits and pieces are in his stomach? "

"Originally, after thinking clearly about the cause and effect, I was going to call him to enforce the family law, but then you seemed to take advantage of his weaknesses, so you had no choice but to pretend that you didn't know anything."

"Otherwise, once the matter is brought to the fore, with the boss's rogue temperament, he might break the can and smash it, so there is no taboo."

Hearing what Jia Mu had said, Wang Xifeng had tears in her eyes, and when she paused for a while, looking at her encouragingly, she couldn't help but threw herself into Jia Mu's arms, and burst into tears.

Mother Jia caressed her back dotingly, and said softly, "I know you feel wronged, girl Feng, but who hasn't gritted her teeth and carried it all her life?"

"You have also taken hold of that unfilial son now, and simply use a chicken feather as an arrow, let him take care of Lian'er, and let Lian'er live with you in peace—as long as your husband and wife are harmonious and beautiful, even the tip of a needle will be fine." Can't get in!"

Wang Xifeng was just sobbing, bobbing her head in Jia Mu's arms, seeming to nod, and it seemed to be just a natural reaction when crying.

After a long time, her crying gradually subsided, and she got up from Jia Mu's arms embarrassingly, Qi Qi Ai Ai explained: "Old ancestor, I do business with the Sun family in partnership. I was thinking about how much income I could make, but I didn't expect his family to make such a big business..."

"I understand."

Jia's mother straightened her sideburns with love and relief, and said in relief: "The boss has already admitted the matter of left and right, so don't mention it again in the future."

"Ancestor!"

Wang Xifeng couldn't help throwing herself into Jia Mu's arms again, but when no one could see her, the emotion on her face gradually turned cold.

The old lady said so much, as if she was confiding in her heart, but she never thought of severely punishing Jia She, and the most important thing in her words was the reputation of Rongguo Mansion.

As for persuading Jia Lian to be good, how dare Wang Xifeng ask for extravagance now?

The only beneficial benefit is not to pursue the money anymore.

But that was actually the compensation for Jia Amnesty's attempt to pick up the ashes. It was already in Wang Xifeng's expectation, so how could it be possible for her to be grateful to Dade?

In the final analysis, this mother's kindness and filial son's filial piety is nothing more than a drama of benefit exchange.

Chapter 867

【Third Update】

Regardless of the right and wrong of the Rongguo Mansion.

However, in the morning of the same day, Sun Shaozong pulled out his legs with sleepy eyes and yelled 'Qingwen', only to realize that the person he was looking for was actually under him.

Seeing Qingwen's eyes closed and her naked body shrinking into the quilt, Sun Shaozong knew that she could not be counted on today.

And the two little maids serving in the Xiangling House obviously haven't come to work yet.

Sun Shaozong could only get up by himself, grabbed his clothes and put them on indiscriminately.

It has been more than four years since time travel, except for the first year when he was not used to it, he was almost always helped to get up by someone, and rarely put on his clothes by himself.

In addition, the clothes for this winter are cumbersome, and I was a little flustered at the moment.

At this moment, Xiangling got up from the small bed next to her, reached for the clothes on the bedside, and said in a low voice, "Master, wait a moment, I'll get up and take care of you."

"It's no use."

With his chest bare, Sun Shaozong stepped forward and pushed her back into the bed, and said unquestionably: "Since Tiankui is here, you can just rest. You have hands and feet, so why can't you wear a few clothes?" ?”

Because Xiangling's menstruation was a few days earlier, she simply gave up the big bed yesterday, and let Sun Shaozong and Qingwen toss about half the night.

If it were Ruan Rong and Second Sister You, they would definitely not agree to it—it's fine to have sex with the maid, but it is a matter of principle for them to give up their own bed to the maid.

That is why Xiangling, who has no heart and has always been friendly with Qingwen, is so magnanimous.

It is said that Sun Shaozong's bull is blown out, but this clothes is really not so easy to deal with.

He had no choice but to wrap up indiscriminately, and went to the main room to ask Pomegranate and Furong for help.

But after another frenzy, seeing Sun Shaozong washing up neatly and starting to eat with the bright colors of the sky, Ruan Rong came out from the inside and spread out the floor plan drawn by someone on the table.

Taking advantage of the time when Sun Shaozong swallowed a goose leg in three mouthfuls, he pushed him in front of him and said, "Let's see, Master, if you change it according to this pattern, can it still work?"

The small courtyard where Sun Shaozong lives now, the main room and the west wing are all full.

Originally, half of the East Wing was used as an inner study, but the remaining half was also taken up by his son—after all, as he got older, it was not good for him to spend the night listening to 'crawlers' all the time.

Coupled with the corners occupied by the little maids, this courtyard really couldn't accommodate a room of concubines.

What's more, Sun Shaozong still has to accept two entrances one after another?

Therefore, it is imminent to prepare a 'Bie Yuan' in the mansion.

In fact, this is not difficult. After all, during the two years when Sun Shaozong was away, Brother Cheap bought a three-entry courtyard next door. After opening the partition wall, in addition to expanding the plum garden, there are still many houses left.

Because it has only been idle for more than a year, and it is well maintained on weekdays, there is no need for major construction work, as long as it is refurbished, it will be sufficient for use.

On the floor plan that Ruan Rong handed over, it was one of the best courtyards.

This is roughly the residence of the only child of the previous family, the environment is very elegantly furnished, and the space is also very ample, it is still more than enough for Ping'er and Xing Xiuyan to live in.

However, Ruan Rong did not intend to do so.

"According to me, let sister Xiangling move there, and let Ping'er live in the west wing - this way, there will be a spacious place there, and my daughter will also have a separate room in the future, so that the master will not be unable to use it."

"cough!"

"Secondly, Sister Xiangling and Miss Xing are both educated, and they are easy to get along with each other."

This also sounds plausible.

But Sun Shaozong smelled the sourness and hostility hidden in it.

If Xing Xiuyan and Ping'er live in it, Xing Xiuyan should be the main one in terms of emotion and reason.

But if it was Xiangling instead, he would definitely have no reason to wrong his daughter.

At that time, Xing Xiuyan will instead live in the concubine, which is not in line with his promise to treat her courteously.

It seems that Xing Xiuyan, who is beautiful and intelligent, has put a lot of pressure on Ruan Rong, otherwise she would not have worked so hard.

But after all, it is an old husband and wife, even for the sake of his son, Sun Shaozong can't make it clear.

So he casually found an excuse and said: "No, this yard is a little far away, I don't have the patience to toss back and forth - it's better to find two small yards next to each other, so I can renovate them so that they can live next to each other Bar."

Ruan Rong saw that the strategy could not be sold, and she knew that she was happy to be seen, so she couldn't say anything more if she was embarrassed, and she was afraid that Sun Shaozong would be annoyed by it, so she quickly winked and asked someone to bring her son to ease the atmosphere.

Seeing his son's well-behaved question mark, he sat down on the chair like a grown-up, so Sun Shaozong picked out the not greasy meat and put it in his son's bowl.

Both the father and the son devoured food, but the child had a small appetite after all. As soon as Sun Shaozong was [-]% full, Sun Chengyi left his job and rushed out like a fly.

Not long after, the little guy was holding a wooden knife again, and blocked the door with his hips on his hips, imitating the strong man in the opera and yelling: "Hey, that man, how dare you fight against a certain man again!"

This is the continuation of the laughter between the father and son last time.

After all, it is from the old Sun's family, this little guy is less than three weeks old, but he is bigger than the other family's five or six-year-olds, and he has a good appearance as he swings a wooden knife in a childish voice.

Ruan Rong stepped forward as both a 'little ancestor' and a 'bastard', so he refused to accept the 'supernatural power', so he had to turn to Sun Shaozong for help.
