The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 418: Rongguo Mansion in the Night

Hua Deng is in the beginning.

Wang Xifeng came out of the bath and wrapped his body in a dark purple robe. Ping'er carried him into the outer hall, and leaned back on the couch lazily. The maid immediately brought a few dry towels over, and cautiously That hair was snuggled up.

Another maid stepped forward, holding up two long legs that resembled Qingtian and white jade pillars, and kneading them after scrutiny.

"okay."

However, Wang Xifeng shrank his legs into his robe, leaving only two feet like tender lotus roots exposed, and casually ordered: "You guys go down and wait."

The four maids and two women immediately bowed to the door.

When there was no one on the left or right, Wang Xifeng made another color. Ping'er immediately stepped forward and closed the door. When she came back, she lowered her voice and asked, "Is there anything private, grandma, do you want me to do it?"

"It's not a matter of importance."

Wang Xifeng sighed and said helplessly: "The big master let out the wind at noon, saying that in a few days he is going to ask the ancestor for a mandarin duck to be his aunt, but I always know that he is a proud master, I am afraid that he may not be willing to obey. This matter will be another disturbance by then."

Ping'er and Yuanyang are the most friendly, and she once heard that Jia She belittled the pigs and dogs, so she became nervous when she heard this, and hurriedly asked: "What does grandma mean?"

Wang Xifeng lowered his voice and said: "You go and tell Mandarin Duck, if she is willing to pay it back, if she doesn't, then quickly find a suitable lord, and find the old lady to ask for grace to marry out, otherwise wait until the old master clarifies this matter. It won’t be so easy for her to get away anymore."

If the maid beside him wants to ask the master to marry him, it may be a little difficult, but the mandarin duck is the most favored by the old lady. In terms of it, it is probably closer than the two granddaughters of Yingchun and Tanchun.

Therefore, as long as the mandarin duck makes up his mind, it is not difficult to ask Jia's mother to marry him.

As soon as Ping'er heard that it was such a reason, he hurriedly prepared to go to the Mandarin Duck to inform him.

"come back."

However, Wang Xifeng stopped her again, and ordered: "Take one of the silk yarn that the empress has won the past two days, and take it with you."

Ping'er is a bit inexplicable here. The silk yarn is a tribute to the South China Sea, also known as the dragon yarn. It is the most precious, but one horse costs hundreds of taels of silver.

If it weren't for the few horses awarded by the concubine Xiande two days ago, even people like the Rongguo Mansion might not be able to get it.

But since it was awarded by the concubine, the old lady is naturally the first one, so there is absolutely no reason to send it to her again.

But if it’s for mandarin ducks...

How can a maid in the area of ​​a mandarin duck be able to afford this golden and precious thing of one hundred and ten taels of silver?

"It's not for mandarin ducks."

Wang Xifeng saw Ping'er hesitating, and then frowned: "It's been more than half a month since I came to Wang to go south, but I haven't even heard a turmoil. It just so happened that Brother Erbao was going to entertain that Sun Erlang. In the past, it was said that he was entrusted to bring it to the second girl. By the way, it’s easy to ask about the situation in the south."

"This…"

Although Ping'er was eager to meet Sun Shaozong, it was just Jia Lian's repeated jealous pranks. As his nominal roommate, how could he blatantly associate with Sun Shaozong?

"What are you afraid of?!"

Seeing Ping'er showing hesitation, Wang Xifeng straightened her body immediately, regardless of the trembling in the robe, and yelled, "If he still dares to mess around, I will live in the ancestral hall and look at him." How will you explain to your ancestors then!"

Seeing her annoyed, Ping'er didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly took a piece of shark gauze from her private library, let the little maid hold it outside, and hurried to the outside of the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he ran into Jia Lian head-on.

Just as Ping'er was about to bend his luggage, Jia Lian sank his face first, and exclaimed in an angry tone: "Where do you want to go fooling around this big night?"

Since the last time Ping'er sang against him in front of everyone, Jia Lian's attitude towards Ping'er has plummeted.

"Back to the second master."

Ping'er pointed back calmly and said, "It was the mistress who asked the slave and maid to send something to the old lady."

Where did Jia Lian know what ‘sharp yarn’?

Seeing that the little maid was holding a piece of silk and satin, she didn't care too much, she just sneered: "You're really very diligent. Now I am afraid that there is only the mistress in your eyes, and there is no such second master as me? When someone stepped on it, don’t blame the second master for not remembering old feelings!"

With that, he flicked his sleeves and went to the outer study without getting through.

Watching Jia Lian drifting away, Ping'er groaned silently for a while, and secretly said that his words seemed to mean something, could it be which maid in the courtyard climbed Gao Zhi'er silently?

The reason she suspected that there was a maid'stealing' inside, not that Jia Lian wanted to'bring in' some newcomer from outside, because if an aunt was hired from the outside, she would of course be more expensive than a maid in a room, so she wouldn't need to step on it. Below'four characters.

Since these four words are used, it is obvious that the person referred to in Jia Lian's words is not as good as Ping'er.

After figuring out this section, Ping'er had the intention to go back to report, but she was afraid of delaying the meeting with Sun Shaozong.

So after hesitating, he temporarily pressed the matter to the bottom of my heart, picked up the lantern and hurriedly went to the old lady.

But when it came to the old lady’s courtyard, Ping’er’s nurse called out Yuanyang, relayed Wang Xifeng’s remarks one by one, and said with concern: “This matter must not be delayed. You have to make up your mind quickly.”

"What else is there to make an idea?!"

After hearing the news, Mandarin Duck was so annoyed that he bit his lower lip and swollen. At this time, he said decisively: "Even if I twist my hair to be an aunt, I won't be his aunt!"

"It's all this time, what's the use of what else do you post?"

Ping'er gave her a hand, and said angrily: "Quickly think about which one you like, and begging for the grace of the ancestor as soon as possible is the only way to be honest!"

Speaking of ‘Zhongyi’ and ‘Grace’, the mandarin duck's face suddenly showed a red color, holding the veil of Qi Ai Ai, no longer the sharp look of the past.

It took a long time before I saw her put a name on her lips.

But Ping'er preemptively said: "This is not a success! Don't forget that he has just been taught by the second master, and he is the ancestor right now, so I am afraid it will be difficult to stuff a woman into his house!"

It turned out that the mandarin duck held it in his mouth and almost confided it, but it was Jia Baoyu, the popular lover in the Rongguo Mansion.

After being denied by Ping'er, how could Yuanyang admit it?

Busily stomped and said: "What are you talking about, Bao Er is three years younger than me, so why would I think of him?!"

She said that, but thinking that what Ping'er said is not unreasonable, she couldn't help showing a bit of loss on her face.

After a long silence, he suddenly shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm fake, but I can't find half of this mansion that can be seen."

In the past, Ping'er might not agree with her statement, but if Sun Shaozong is used as a standard of measurement, this statement is not false.

"Then pick it outside!"

Ping'er urged without hesitation: "Choose a poor talent with good character and knowledge, and be a talented lady first. With the dowry you have accumulated over the years, you may not be able to offer you a master in a few years!"

After a pause, she said again: "But you have to choose someone with hard bones. The eldest master's irresponsible temper may not give up just because you are married, and maybe you will have to come to the door to coerce and lure you."

"You said that lightly."

Hearing this, the mandarin duck couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's sit in this deep house compound and watch the sky. Where can we find someone with a good knowledge, a good character, and a tough talent? Besides, there are such people, I'm afraid they would have already decided How can it be my turn if someone else is gone!"

Ping'er thought that it was the same. If Chengri hadn't been caught in his eyes, they were all crooked melons and jujubes in this mansion. How could the maids treat Jia Baoyu like a god?

So I don't know what to do for a while.

The two of them stayed silent for a while, and Ping'er looked back thoughtfully, and glanced at the shark gauze that the maid was holding, and suddenly said with joy: "Yes, I have a way here. Guan Bao wants you to find it. To Ruyi Langjun!"

As he said, he whispered a few words in the ear of the mandarin duck...

The words are divided into two ends.

Just when Ping'er and Yuanyang were whispering.

In the outer study, Jia Yan was drinking sullen wine by himself, and saw that the silver pot on the table was already empty when he had just become drunk.

"Zhao'er? Zhao'er!"

Jia Lian yelled twice, but did not see the close servant Zhao'er coming in. His heart suddenly became annoyed, thinking about these minions, it's really getting more and more unbelievable. Before you Xing'er was tortured but told himself, now Zhao'er just The upper rank is actually slacking off!

"Dog things that don't open their eyes!"

He was cursing, and he was waiting to go out and shout loudly, calling Zhao'er back to scold him. When the curtain was picked up, he got in from the outside, and smiled all over his face: "Second Uncle did not blame him. I was the one who coaxed him. elsewhere."

As he said, he put two small wine jars on the table, and patted one of them exaggeratedly, saying: "The authentic tribute wine was just rewarded to me by the godfather Qianer, but what kind of position am I? How to enjoy these precious objects? Think about it, or if you send it to your second uncle, it is not a waste of things!"

Jia Lian heard what he said was pleasing, and stretched out his fingers and cursed with a smile: "You guys are really good at doing things, no wonder everyone in the kitchen praises you."

Then he straightened his spine again and said with a serious face: "Let's say, so willing to pay, what do you want to ask your second uncle to do for you?"

"Second Uncle is right!"

Jia Yun raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "It seems like my nephew has some thoughts!"

As he said, he bit his tooth, sat down opposite, and said with a gloomy expression: "To tell the truth, my nephew really feels the same with you, so I think I want to spend more time with my second uncle. Be close and close."

"Impathetic? How to empathize?"

Jia Lian was a little baffled.

But when Jia Yun pulled the empty sleeves again, she gritted her teeth and said, "Second uncle, think about it, if it wasn't for the grandson who had hurt Jia Qin's arm indiscriminately, how could I just let it go? ? Now even my favorite woman has rushed to commit herself to others!"

Jia Yun pursued Xiaohong in secret, and after Xiaohong hooked up with Jia Lian, she would naturally not disclose the matter.

Therefore, Jia Lian had no doubts at all, and immediately cursed in unison: "Isn't it! We didn't have such a mess in our house earlier, it was all the instigation of the surname Sun..."

"Yes, that surnamed Sun is really not a thing!"

Jia Yun agreed with her mouth, and slapped the tribute wine into the mud, and gave Jia Lian a cup full, but he drank another jar by himself...
