The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 27: Silver basin, golden ship, murder

   the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month.

   When the sky was overwhelmingly bright, snowflakes floated. When Sun Shaozong and Ruan Rong packed up and prepared to go to the Rongguo Mansion for an appointment, a thin layer of half an inch had accumulated on the ground.

   But the pedestrians on the road did not miss a few because of this snow.

   Carrying baskets, carrying burdens, driving cars...

   The hustle and bustle of buying or selling, the last big speculation of a year ago, turned back into the sky.

When I arrived at Rongguo Mansion, I saw the magnificent main entrance and nearly a hundred red lanterns and goose wings lined up. They were all lit candles with the thickness of their arms—it is not obvious in the daytime. If it is at night, it will definitely be able to Most of the reflected street is booming!

   Only this string of lanterns consumes every day, I am afraid it is enough for ordinary people to spend a year.

   is really "Zhumen wine and meat smelly, there are frozen bones on the road"!

   Sun Shaozong sighed in his heart. First, he watched Ruan Rong’s carriage go in through the West Point Gate, and under the guidance of his wife, went straight to Lin Daiyu in the back house, and then urged the horse to go towards the dark oil gate at the east.

   It’s also an anecdote that Jia Lian’s father, Jia She, was the eldest son and a first-class general who had attacked the Jue. But because the old lady Jia didn’t want to see him, he had to be wronged in the small courtyard on the east side.

   On the contrary, the second master Jia Zheng lives in the main room of the main house, as if he is in charge of the house.

   talk less gossip.

   However, Sun Shaozong said that when Sun Shaozong arrived at the black oil gate, Jia Lian's confidant Longer had been waiting on the steps.

Before Sun Shaozong got off the horse, he hurriedly leaned forward and greeted with a smile on his face: "Second Lord Sun, you can be regarded as coming! Our father has asked several times, and he will send it if he misses it. People use eight big sedan chairs to lift you!"

   "I'm not your second grandmother, no matter where I sit on the sedan chair."

  Sun Shaozong jumped off the horse neatly, and poked the big red lantern hanging on the wall with his finger: "In previous years, your mansion could not be more than a dozen corresponding scenes. How can you be so swaggering this year?"

   "Yo~"

Na Long's eyebrows made a strange cry and exaggeratedly said: "You don't know the feelings! Our second master's eldest lady was selected as the Fengzao Palace Shangshu and named the Xian Defei. This is a joyous event. , How can we not celebrate it lively?"

As he said, he pointed to the west front entrance again, showing off a little bit of sourness: "You didn't see Qianer, there were countless firecrackers in front of the front entrance, and then two carts of shredded paper were swept out. sheet!"

  啧~

   There is a good concubine inside and a prince teng outside.

  With these two powerful arms, the heroes of the Jia Mansion are afraid that they will be more defiant, right?

   Thinking of these, Sun Shaozong handed the horse to the door to take care of him, and then Longer crossed the threshold.

Walking through the house and the courtyard, I saw a lot of young women, pointing at him in the dark, thinking that after Jia Lian and others returned to the house, they talked about the salt owl at the time and attracted this. Many curious people.

  Sun Shaozong thought that Longer would lead him to the living room or the yard where Jia Lian lived, but he turned left and right, but entered a delicate and compact garden.

Seeing Long'er pointing towards the rockery in the middle, he smiled and said, "Our father watched the snow fall, so he had someone pick up the pavilion, saying that he wanted to "make wine with green plums and talk about heroes" with you. "

  Sun Shaozong doesn’t know if he is a hero, but Jia Lian’s appointment does not count!

The two followed the spiral stone steps to the top of the mountain, and saw four or five pots of silver frost charcoal placed in the vermilion red pavilion. Jia Lian was still holding a hand stove in his arms, and laughed there and said, "It turns out that Erlang has arrived. I looked at the black mass from a distance, thinking it was an old bear."

  Sun Shaozong is wearing a large black cloak, so he said this.

  Sun Shaozong also laughed and pointed to the dark purple robe on Jia Lian's body; "Don't say it's not an old bear, you really jumped out a few, and saw you, Uncle Guo, you are so purple. I'm afraid that you will be scared to retreat."

   "What kind of uncle of the country I am, Baoyu is called the uncle of the country." Jia Lian triumphantly humbled and welcomed Sun Shaozong into the pavilion.

I saw a silver basin on the stone table in the center, with a shallow layer of hot water in the silver basin, and a few beautifully carved small golden boats in the middle. It looked unique, but I didn’t know what it was for. .

Seeing Sun Shaozong looking at the silver pot of gold boats, Jia Lian stretched out his hand and uncovered the roof of one of the gold boats. The rich aroma of wine suddenly came out-but it turned out that the gold boats were actually used for cooking wine. cup.

   really is a first-class luxury house!

  Sun Shaozong gave a few praises, and as soon as Jia Lian was seated with the host and guest, he heard a rush of footsteps from far to near.

   The two looked at it, but they saw the doorman who had just led the horse to Sun Shaozong.

Seeing him running panting like a cow, without a trace of the decentness of a big family, Jia Lian felt a little unhappy, patted the stove on the table, and shouted from a distance: "Good dog, you blind eyebrows. Rushing around, is it rushing to reincarnate?!"

After eating his scolding, he hurriedly rushed a few steps forward, and said anxiously: "Second Lord, it's not a small mess, it's really a few messengers from Shuntian Palace that came outside the door, UU reading www.uukanshu.com It is said that there was a murder case in Yunshui Alley. Please referral to the master to investigate the case!"

   homicide?

   Sun Shaozong frowned when he heard this. According to that transfer order, he would not officially go to Shuntian Mansion until a few years later. How could he find him when he was murdered a year ago? And also found the Rongguo Mansion!

   was wondering what's wrong with this, but Jia Yan cursed again, "You dog has hysteria? There is a Shuntian mansion in our house, but where is the master of the sentence?!"

   The door did not dare to tell, so he had to look at Sun Shaozong baffledly.

   "Oh~"

Sun Shaozong sighed and stood up and said: "Second Brother Lian, I am afraid that this'hero' won't be the case today! I only accepted the will at noon yesterday, and after the Chinese New Year, I went to Shuntian Mansion for a criminal sentence-who is going to think about it? After a day, the trouble came."

   He deliberately emphasized the three words ‘after the new year’. He originally wanted to make Jia Lian suspicious, and, relying on the name of Xinkeguo’s uncle, he helped himself to find out what happened.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian didn’t notice what he really meant. As soon as he heard that Sun Shaozong had passed the sentence of Shuntian Mansion, he was about to investigate the murder case. His eyes suddenly shined, and he said with joy: What are we waiting for? I’ve grown up so big and I’ve never seen anyone investigate a case before!"

   said, he raised his voice and ordered: "Xing'er, go and report to your mistress, saying that I want to accompany the second master of the Sun family to solve a strange murder case, and I won't eat at home at noon!"

Sun Shaozong was speechless, but he couldn't express the concerns in his heart, so she had to send a message to Ruan Rong to let her stay in Rongguo Mansion and talk to Lin Daiyu at ease. After going to the scene of the crime, she will come back by herself. It's not too late to pick her up.
