The red building is so arrogant

chapter 35

[4900 words, two in one]

Daiyu is in a hurry to go south to serve medical problems, and Jia Lian is in a hurry to go south to generate income.

After two li's efforts to go to one place, and Lai Da secretly helping to fuel the flames, it only took three days to complete all the matters of the south.

On the morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month, a team of more than [-] people crowded out of the Rongguo Mansion in twelve carts, rushed outside the Dongbianmen, and staged a show of goodbye at the Datong Bridge Wharf.

During this whole process, Laishun watched and listened to all directions, looking forward to seeing Daiyu's true face.

Unfortunately, until the two passenger ships set sail, he never got his wish.

In the end, I can only comfort myself. The 11-year-old girl hasn't grown up yet, so what's so good about it?

It's better to keep some mystery first, and when she grows up slowly, maybe it will bring even bigger surprises.

Relying on this Ah Q spirit, on the way back to Shun Shun, he swept away his depression, and then began to miss Xue Baochai again.

Due to the impact of going south to Yangzhou, the 'new product' conference originally scheduled for the ninth day had to be moved to the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan will definitely be there by then, so I don't know if Baochai will show up.

…………

Let's not mention Laishun's filthy thoughts before he got Long, and look back at Shu.

However, he said that in the past few days, the Rongguo Mansion was in full swing, but the atmosphere in the boiler room was cold as a day.

The vulgar remarks of the handymen in Su Ri are almost never heard again, but the glances they occasionally look at Pan You'an are full of meaning.

Of course Pan Youan understood what these people were expecting.

Although he had nothing to do with the fact that the boiler room was shoddy, it had nothing to do with him, but his act of deducting coal ash and cinder and selling it privately was also a minor sin.

Once someone is sent to strictly inspect the boiler room, the radish will be pulled out and the mud will be pulled out.

At that time, not only will the position of the little steward not be guaranteed, but maybe he will be kicked out of the house...

Whenever he thinks of such an end, Pan Youan feels shivering. If he really wants to reach that point, not to mention that his future is ruined, he is afraid that even his marriage with his cousin, Siqi, will come to an end!

He was naturally unwilling to sit still like this.

So when I got the news, I thought of asking my uncle Qin Yi for an idea - it's best to try to transfer myself out of the boiler room before things broke out.

Who would have thought that Qin Yi and Zhou Rui had gone to Zhuangzi outside the city to collect the income that was to be handed over to the house before the Qin family, at least after the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Backer was not at home, but was urged by his aunt Wang to ask when he would be willing to deal with Laishun.

Pan Youan was disappointed, but he did not give up his struggle, but put the key to breaking the game on Deng Hershey.

After all, according to common sense, if the above is really investigated strictly, the first person to bear the brunt is the supervisor Deng Haoshi - if nothing else, he is also the mastermind behind the shoddy and full of his own pockets!

Therefore, Pan Youan originally thought that the two would definitely form an alliance and work together to deal with this sudden crisis.

However, what Pan Youan didn't expect was that, despite his repeated hints, Deng Hershey still had an attitude of nothing to do with him, as if the rumors in the mansion had nothing to do with his Steward Deng.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, seeing that Jia Lian and Daiyu were sent away, the mansion freed up their hands, and it was possible to start investigating the boiler room at any time.

Pan Youan was in a hurry, and he didn't care about covering up any more. He planned to clarify the matter directly with Deng Haoshi, and see what he had to do to deal with it!
I didn't think about it this time, but it was empty.

That Wang Zhuer only said that Steward Deng had important things to do, but he never mentioned where Deng Haoshi was.

By this time.

Pan Youan also faintly noticed the abnormality, so after returning to the boiler room, he panicked like ants in a hot pot, and at noon, the water and rice did not come in.

In the afternoon, with the idea of ​​luck, he still wanted to find Deng Haoshi to find out what happened.

Unexpectedly, just after passing through the corner door of the private alley and entering the Rongguo Mansion, he collided with his cousin Siqi head-on.

"Cousin, you..."

"Shh!"

Si Qi panicked and made a silent gesture, swept left and right, and dragged Pan You'an to a nearby rockery.

It is also a coincidence that this is where Laishun was captured by Yang, and it is also the beginning of all stories!
"Alright again!"

When he arrived at the pavilion on the top of the mountain, Si Qi asked impatiently, "I asked my aunt to send you a message the other day, how come you never got a reply?!"

"I……"

"We'll talk about this later!"

Obviously it was Si Qi who started the conversation first, but Pan You'an was about to explain, but she was interrupted immediately, and he heard Si Qi asked eagerly: "Tell me first, the boiler room is shoddy, in the end. Does it have anything to do with you?!"

Seeing her eager appearance, Pan Youan made a thump in his heart, grabbed her wrist quickly, and asked without answering, "Good sister, you... Did you hear some rumors again?!"

"Isn't Miss Lin gone today? Seeing that the old lady is not in a good mood, the second wife specially asked a few girls to go over and talk to the old lady..."

But it turned out that because Si Qi accompanied Yingchun to the old lady's filial piety, he happened to hear Da Lai's report to Jia's mother that the boiler room was shoddy.

Then Da Lai took the initiative to suggest a thorough investigation of the matter, and said that those greedy silverfish must not be spared lightly!

Briefly explain the cause and effect.

Si Qi said eagerly: "Then Deng Haoshi was originally Director Lai's henchman, but now he has repeatedly said that he needs to be severely investigated and punished, and most of them have turned against each other - but you were promoted by Deng Haoshi, but don't be punished. Get involved and be implicated by him!"

After these words, she realized that Pan Youan's face was ashen, her lips trembling between her teeth, and she was about to be bitten and bleed.

"How did you get this?!"

Si Qi hurriedly supported him again, and asked anxiously, "Could it be that you...you were already involved?!"

Pan Youan shook his head with difficulty, and when Si Qi was slightly relieved, he gritted his teeth and said, "I finally understand now, this... this is actually all their game!"

"What do you mean?"

"There's nothing against each other at all! The reason why Lai Da said that he should investigate strictly is that he actually wants to put things on my head!"

As he said that, he threw off Si Qi's support suddenly, slammed his fist on the red lacquer column, and said angrily: "No wonder he suddenly wants to promote some small manager. It turned out that from the beginning, he wanted me to be his scapegoat!"

When Si Qi heard this, although he didn't fully understand what happened, he also realized the seriousness of the situation.

Without thinking about it, he stepped forward to embed his cousin in his arms, dragged him to the center of the pavilion, and reassured: "Don't hurt yourself! Since we know the matter in advance, it proves that there is nothing in the world. Lu, as long as we think hard, we will definitely find a solution!"

The solution?
Pan Youan's face was full of bitterness. If he had noticed all this earlier, he might have come up with a way to deal with it, but now he's afraid that it's too late to do anything!

Seeing that he was silent, Si Qi first put forward his own ideas: "You have been in charge of the boiler room for almost two months. You must know some people, right? Can you let them testify and expose the truth? What about Deng Hershey's poisonous scheme?"

Pan Youan's face became more and more bitter.

In the past two months, he has been patronizing the air of managing affairs, how can he have any friendship with those vulgar handymen?
Besides, what if there is some friendship?

"If only Deng had a good time, it would be fine. Now that Director Lai has come forward, is there any handyman who dares to fight against him?"

When Pan Youan said this, he smiled wryly: "Besides, since Da Lai took the initiative to conduct a strict investigation, the people who were sent to verify at that time were not all his cronies?! Even if those handymen were willing to testify for me, the news I'm afraid it won't be passed on!"

After saying these words, Pan Youan didn't know why, but was suddenly stunned.

Si Qi's eyes lit up, and he gently pushed him and asked, "You'an, do you remember something!"

"It's nothing."

Unexpectedly, Pan Youan shook his head with a strange expression.

"It's all this time, what else do you have to hide from me?!"

Seeing that he was still hesitating at this time, Si Qi was a little annoyed, and he shook his small body a few times, and the swaying Pan was dazzled.

"I said, can't I say it!"

Pan Youan had to beg for mercy, and smiled bitterly: "In the boiler room, there really is someone who dares to challenge Deng Hershey. He even has a ready-made way to pass the news to it!"

"you said……"

When Si Qi heard this, his beautiful eyes widened, and he blurted out, "Isn't that Laishun?!"

"It's that Laishun!"

Pan You'an nodded in frustration, feeling extremely regretful.

If he had known today, he would never have tried to frighten the Yang family, but wished that the two aunts would hurry up and collude with Laishun.

In that way, he can use this as a lever to coerce Lai Shun to testify for himself, and then easily resolve the crisis!

pity……

It's too late to regret it now.

And although Si Qi didn't know the details, he also understood that with the relationship between the two parties, it would be good if Laishun didn't fall into the trap. How could he risk offending the Lai family and testify for Pan Youan?

Immediately, I can't help but get anxious.

"Since this method doesn't work, what should we do?!"

She let go of Pan You'an, walked back and forth in the pavilion, suddenly gritted her silver teeth, and said resolutely, "I'll accompany you to find the old lady, make it all clear, and see how they can deceive them. Down!"

"This……"

Pan Youan took a half step back subconsciously, and shook his head again and again: "If you really want to do this, I'm afraid there will be no room for turning around."

"Where is it?!"

Si Qi said without hesitation: "It's a big deal to burn the jade with them!"

Pan Youan took another half step back and said in a trembling voice, "Why is this, why is this! Cousin, don't worry, let me think about it."

After a pause, he couldn't help but explain in a low voice: "Actually, what can you do even if you see the old lady? If you only report on Deng Hao, it is most likely that Da Lai will come forward to check; Does the wife trust us more, or the Lai family more?"

After saying this, Si Qi is also a little discouraged, but she has always been a fierce person, so how can she back down?
Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's go to the eldest master, the second master, or the second lady or the second grandmother! I don't believe that there is no place in the Rongguo Mansion to reason!"

Her grandfather Wang Shanbao was Madam Xing's cronie, but she didn't mention Madam Xing at all, and she obviously didn't like this eldest lady, and would come forward to help people to do justice.

Pan Youan heard her cousin shouting louder and louder, but she was frightened and hurried forward to cover her mouth, and said in a discolored voice, "Stop shouting, let me think about it again, and let me think about it again, I will definitely be able to think of a way. of!"

Si Qi shook his head vigorously, rubbing two blushes on Pan Youan's palm, and then lowered his voice slightly, but couldn't hide his anxiety: "But who knows when the people of Lai Da will find you?! Tomorrow, if I can't think of a way..."

"cousin!"

Pan You'an didn't dare to listen any more, so he sat down on the railing, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "You allow me to think about it again, let me think about it again by myself - I'm begging you!"

The anxiety and anger in Si Qi's heart were no less than his. It could be seen that Pan Youan was so helpless, but he still managed to restrain his emotions, and said helplessly: "Then I will go to the backyard to inquire and see if there is any new news."

Pan Youan didn't answer, just raised his hand weakly.

Si Qi stomped his foot and dropped a sentence: "In the end, you don't care whether you come up with an idea or not, but you must speak to me, and I will accompany you whether you live or die!"

Then hurried down the rockery.

After Si Qi left, Pan Youan sat on the railing of the pavilion, like a clay tire and wood plastic, and was stunned for a long time.

It wasn't until his neck was stiff that he couldn't bear it, and then he slowly shook his head.

With this flash, the blush in the palm of his hand happened to come into view.

Pan Youan jumped up from the railing trembling as if his eyes were scalded. After confirming that it was not blood, but rouge, he regained his composure.

However, this little episode also made him firm in his belief that he must not lose his life in vain!

But now there is really no way to break the game.

The only way to live before him seems to be...

…………

However, when Si Qi came down from the top of the mountain, he hurried to the old lady's side to find out about the latest news.

The result was unsuccessful.

Back in the Yingchun Courtyard, she endured for a while like sitting on pins and needles. After all, she couldn't worry about her younger brother, so she explained it to Jia Yingchun, and went out to find Pan Youan without permission.

However, he first went to the boiler room and then to Pan Youan's house, but he never found any trace of Pan Youan.

She didn't give up, and went home again, wanting to ask her mother if she had ever seen her cousin.

But the Wang family was not at home either.

Si Qi leaned back against the tightly locked door, thinking about his cousin's situation at this time, it was as if someone had pinched his heart, and even his heartbeat and breathing became difficult.

"Chess?"

Just at this moment, someone in the Westinghouse stuck his head out and asked suspiciously, "Why are you back at this time? Did something happen in the mansion?"

The voice was actually not very sincere. It fell into the ears of Si Qi, who was extremely helpless, but it sounded like the sound of nature.

"Auntie!"

She didn't even think about it, she jumped up and hugged Mrs. Yang and cried, "Yes, you're safe, my cousin... he has encountered a huge difficulty!"

Yang was a little caught off guard at first, but I heard that it was Pan You'an who encountered a huge difficulty, but her eyes flashed with brilliance, and she wrapped her arms around Si Qi's shoulders and said softly, "What's wrong? Come on, let's talk in the room. ."

How could Si Qi know about the grievance between Yang's and Pan You'an?
Hearing Mrs Yang's soft voice, she felt more and more reliant, so she followed Mrs Yang into the Westinghouse, and without waiting for her to urge, she explained the matter like a bean in a bamboo tube.

But when Mr. Yang heard that Pan Youan was in such a desperate situation, his heart was full of schadenfreude.

Hearing his niece's voice, all of them want to share life and death with Pan You'an, the happiness was mixed with jealousy and bitterness.

She and Qin Xian were married blindly and dumbly. How could she ever have had such a life-and-death experience as eachother - not to mention, the couple are now separated day and night, like strangers.

In contrast, Mr. Yang felt that he was the most pitiful one.

She was complaining about herself, when she saw Si Qi stopped talking and looked at herself full of expectations, apparently hoping that she could come up with a solution.

"In this rush, I can..."

Yang Shi subconsciously wanted to perfunctory things, but as soon as he started talking, a thought suddenly appeared in his heart: Why do you always feel a little familiar with this scene?

Yes!

Isn't there a similar scene in the 'repertoire' that came up out of nowhere? !
And what I did at the time was...

Yang's heart was beating wildly, and she was hesitating whether she should turn her imagination into reality, when the opposite Siqi saw her expression was different, but she couldn't wait to ask: "Auntie, did you think of something?! Hurry up. Tell me, as long as I can do it, the sea of ​​swords and flames can also break through!"

"This……"

After being urged by her, Yang finally made up her mind and gritted her teeth: "I shouldn't have told you these things, but now I can't care about it."

As he said that, he described the matter that came to smooth and coerced himself, adding fuel to the details.

Naturally, she wouldn't tell Si Qi that she had struggled in every possible way, and even tended to trade her body for benefits. It was all because of Pan You'an's obstruction that she failed to reach a deal.

But in front of Si Qi, he made himself a model of righteousness, steadfastness and unyielding. Even if he was obsessed with Laishun, he never wavered!
When Si Qi heard these words, he was first shocked beyond measure, and then he had expectations and hopes.

Without waiting for Mrs. Yang to finish her sentence, she pushed a golden mountain down like a jade pillar, knelt down in front of Mrs. Yang, and begged bitterly: "Auntie, now only Laishun can testify and I can return my cousin's innocence. I beg you, you, you can save and be at peace!"

　Thanks to the book friends: waiting for the reward of returning to ancient times and helping the plow to manage the country.
