Detective in the Red Chamber

Qingwen shook her head speechlessly, and was about to retreat into the living room. However, when she was about to turn around, she realized that something was wrong—the quilt was constantly churning, and it didn't seem as simple as breathing. It's like playing a pendulum.

Could it be that the nanny is sick? !

Qingwen immediately put her heart in her throat, the eldest lady is not as strong as the young master, and she just got seriously ill a month ago, if the nanny is infected with some other disease at this time, what will happen? !

Thinking of this, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law of the Song family?!"

With just this sound, the trembling of the quilt suddenly froze, and it took a while to see a face that was flushed and hot, and said in a harsh voice, "You... when did you come in?"

Seeing her look like this, Qingwen felt even more inappropriate. She reached out her hand to touch Sister Song's forehead, and said concernedly, "Sister-in-law is not feeling well? Do you want me to report to Second Master Ming and ask a doctor to come and take a look!"

"No no no!"

Mrs. Song hurriedly stretched out her white arm, shaking it wildly like a rattle, and said anxiously, "I'm in good health, don't disturb the second master!"

Seeing that even her neck was glowing red, Qingwen couldn't believe it. She pretended that she was deliberately hiding her condition for fear of losing her job, so she turned around and was about to report to the master bedroom.

That Mrs. Song became more and more anxious, and she didn't care that there was no cover on her body. She jumped up and grabbed her, stood up and shouted, "Good girl, you...you listen to my explanation first!"

As she spoke, she whispered a few words in Qingwen's ear.

After Qingwen heard this, her melon-seeded face flushed red, and she spit a few times, and then said, "Sister-in-law is really... really ridiculous! Forget it, I just fetched water, you go outside to freshen up." Take a moment, lest my sister wake up and panic!"

Seeing that she didn't intend to delve into it, Mrs. Song breathed a sigh of relief, took the towel and clothes in embarrassment, and hurriedly tidied things up with Qingwen on her back, folded the messy mattress, and then hurried to the outside room .

Qingwen wanted to stay and take care of the child, so naturally she didn't go out with her. She should have sat on the bed nearby, but when she thought about the nanny's behavior just now, she always felt that it was a bit filthy.

So she pulled out Xiudun from the corner again, and carefully sat down in front of the cradle. Her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Looking at himself with a smirk on his face.

"Good girl."

I heard her flattering her, "Don't tell me what happened just now, or I... I won't have the face to go out and meet people!"

This family has just been prosperous for a few years, and there are not many servants born in the family, so the nurses are all found from outside, and they can only go home when they are free, and it is not easy to spend the night at home. She is a woman who eats the essence and knows the taste After listening to the melodious music of the night, it is not uncommon to feel impulsive.

Besides, if the nanny of a rich family can't bear the loneliness, and hooks up with the male master, there are plenty of people out there.

At least Mrs. Song solved her troubles by herself, so it wasn't her fault at all.

It's just that in the past few days, this sister-in-law Song has been very mean to Qingwen, so Qingwen took advantage of the opportunity to use the means of a wealthy maid to beat her up a few words.

It wasn't until Sister-in-law Song swore to the sky that she would only follow Qingwen's lead in the future, and then Qingwen said indifferently, "Sister-in-law is serious. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Besides, we are still under the same roof. Just help a little more."

"Yes, yes, to help each other, that is to help each other!"

Sister-in-law Song was like pecking at the chick on the head, with a face full of relief, obviously she said she wanted to follow the horse's head, but she didn't want it in every way.

Qingwen was used to such a face, so she didn't bother to argue with her, so she got up and went to the living room outside under the excuse that she was going to serve the master and aunt.

At this moment, the annoying movement finally stopped.

Just as Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Xiangling say timidly inside, "Sister Qingwen, please bring some warm water in."

When they were in Rongguo Mansion back then, the two were used to each other, and Xiangling had always been simple and honest, so although Qingwen has been her maid these few days, she is still considered a sister.

Qingwen hurriedly poured a basin of warm water, went forward and knocked on the door, and waited for Xiangling to poke out her head with red face, and handed the basin over, saying, "It's not as good as it used to be, I really can't afford to be an aunt and sister. Just call out the servant’s name.”

Xiangling covered her mouth with a smile, took the copper basin, and said in a low voice, "Sister is a good character and good-looking, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

Saying that, he closed the door again.

This word...

Qingwen frowned and thought about it for a while, but she couldn't tell whether it was resistance or calmness, in short, she had no expectations at all.

Not long after, another little maid who was assigned to this room also arrived, and the two went to feather dusters, rags, etc., and started the routine sweeping every morning.

Not to mention how the outside is.

But Sun Shaozong leaned lazily on the bed with his arms pillowed, raised his hairy legs high, fiddled with the little clothes on the crossbar one by one, but there was no charm in his heart.

That day after he established his prestige in the house arrest, the entire Shuntian Mansion was calm and calm, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Either the traitor's psychological quality is excellent, and he was not intimidated by this bluff at all; or his previous deduction was wrong, and the spy was not a list found from house arrest.

If it's the former, the clue will be broken; but if it's the latter...

"Grandpa, are you going to get up now?"

The voice as sweet and soft as glutinous rice disrupted Sun Shaozong's thoughts. He turned his head and saw that Xiangling was fully dressed, so he smiled and said, "It's Xiumu around today. You should tell them both. After breakfast, let's go together." Go to the Prison Temple to visit the flower fair."

Xiangling was immediately overjoyed when she heard the words. Yu Qian and Sun Chengye had already moved out yesterday morning, and they could go to the flower fair in the afternoon—but it seemed that Ruan Rong and Second Sister You were not in high spirits, and neither was Xiangling. Nice to mention this.

Now that Sun Shaozong has agreed to go with him, he is naturally not afraid that the two girls will lose their interest.

So she hurriedly called Qingwen to come in, helped Sun Shaozong dress and wash for herself, and then happily went to the main room.

Qingwen came in and saw that Sun Shaozong was only wearing a pair of shorts, revealing his bronzed muscles. She felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, her eyes wandered, she neither dared nor touched, but she made a mistake in her busy schedule, and made a few times "blind man touches an elephant" 'The blunder.

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong is currently in the time of a sage, and has no reaction to her 'provocation'.

Even so, when Qingwen carried the water to the living room at the end, her cheeks were red hot like charcoal fire, and she could be said to have brightened up with Sister Song for a while.

She was afraid that the little maid would notice something, so she lowered her head and went outside with the copper basin in her hand, and was about to throw her hands up, when she suddenly saw a person looking into the room from the porch.

"pink clouds?"

Qingwen couldn't help being surprised and said, "Why did you come here so soon?"

It's true that she asked Caixia to come and talk to herself, but this morning, the small kitchen is busy with work, so where is the time to spare?

Especially Caixia is still a newcomer, so she is more likely to get into trouble if she is so lazy.

"I……"

Caixia pinched the corner of her clothes, and said awkwardly, "I heard that you followed me to the mansion over there a few days ago, but...have you ever heard about Third Lord Huan?"

The reason why she was relegated outside was also mentioned by Yuanyang. Seeing that she was still inquiring about Jia Huan, an evil fire suddenly surged in her heart, and she splashed the dirty water on the flowerbed. He said coldly, "You only care about him, but why don't you ask, has he ever thought about you?!"

After suffering these days, Caixia finally lost her previous indomitable vigor. Seeing that Qingwen was suddenly annoyed, she thought she still remembered Aunt Zhao's poisoning, so she said to Ai Ai, "The third master never harmed Baoyu. It's all Aunt Zhao..."

"Never harmed?!"

Qingwen held the empty basin, raised her eyebrows and said, "Could it be that he scalded Baoyu's eyes at the beginning? It's not a good thing he did?!"

Hearing her bring this up again, Caixia gritted her silver teeth, and said with a straight face, "That's also the second master of your family treasure, first fumble your hands in my clothes, and then the third master will be annoyed to beat you!"

Qingwen was startled when she heard that, thinking that Baoyu had drank a few more glasses that day, she may not be unable to do such things, most of the anger in her chest was relieved immediately, and even her spirit collapsed, she gave a wry smile, shook her head and said, " That's all, that's all, what about the two brothers, and what does it have to do with us now?"

As he said that, he turned his head and walked in, and said, "You don't have to ask me about the matter of Huan Laosan. It's best to ask me when you see Uncle Xue's family that day - he is now talking to Uncle Xue all day long. Get mixed up!"

"Girl, girl!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a rough messenger trotting over, and asked with a smile on his face, "Is the second master in your room?"

Qingwen turned around suspiciously, and said, "What's the matter? You need to find the second master for something?"

"We have visitors."

The woman smiled and said, "It's Uncle Xue from Zijin Street. I heard that our grandfather entrusted him with something. Now that the matter is settled, I came here specially to tell us."

This really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

Qingwen glanced at Caixia, told her that the woman was waiting outside, and went inside to report, but when she came out again, Caixia was nowhere to be seen.

Chapter 522

Hearing that Xue Pan came to visit early in the morning, Sun Shaozong knew that there must be some clues about Xiong Guang's matter, so he hurried out of the backyard and rushed to the front living room.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived near the living room, he heard Xue Pan yelling loudly inside, "Just ring the third son, that dog-hating thing, if I didn't look at my uncle, I wouldn't hesitate to talk to him! Why, according to your behavior Lie Lie, I have committed a crime instead?"

How come Jia Huan is mentioned for no reason?

Sun Shaozong hurried to the door, looked in suspiciously, but saw in the living room besides Xue Pan with a hideous face, there was also a rough envoy in Tsing Yi who was kneeling in the living room—but it wasn't that Zhengtai control Caixia, but it could be who?

At this time, I heard Caixia grabbing her head and saying, "I don't mean that, it's just that the third master is still young..."

"shut up!"

Sun Shaozong scolded, stepped into the living room, and ordered involuntarily, "You don't want to die, you lowly maid, why don't you go to Steward Zhao to get the family law!"

Caixia's body trembled, she raised her head and wanted to distinguish a few words, but when she met Sun Shaozong's eyes without a trace of warmth, she didn't dare to say any more words.

After a little hesitation, she finally got up from the ground and exited the living room obediently.

After Caixia left, Sun Shaozong didn't bother to decide what to prioritize, so he sat down on the chair next to Xue Pan, and raised his chin at him, "Sit down, what's the point of arguing with a maid."

"This little hoof is simply inexplicable!"

Xue Pan slumped heavily on the chair, and said angrily, "When I was with my aunt, I never saw her so arrogant. How come it seems like a different person suddenly when I got into my brother's house?"

If these words came from someone else, Sun Shaozong might suspect that the other party was criticizing Sang Huai, but Xue Pan has always been open-minded, so he may not have any other intentions.

So Sun Shaozong just rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "She and Qingwen are all fascinated by the two brothers from your aunt's house—by the way, I just heard you mention Jia Huan, what do you mean?" ? He is getting close to you now?"

"Closer ass!"

Xue Pan curled his lips, and scoffed, "I don't know who took this kid to Yunfangzhai, and he only had six taels of silver on him, so he called a waiter at the table and two leading girls!"

This Yunfangzhai is a brothel named after Baihualou. It is mainly famous for cultivating talented young ladies. Because of its top card, it has to go to bed with a formality, so it has never been favored by Xue Pan. .

But a few days ago, he had an embarrassment in Baihualou, and Xue Pan didn't want to go to Baihualou for a while, so he had to change to be happy in Yunfangzhai.

Unexpectedly, the first time I went back to Yunfangzhai, I met Jia Huan's "Bawang whoring", and was blocked by several turtle slaves, screaming and screaming.

Although he looked down on his embarrassing virtues, he was a relative in name after all. Besides, if this incident got serious, it would lose the face of Rongguo Mansion, so Xue Pan came forward to help Jia Huan settle the bill.

Unexpectedly, the youngest Huan saw Xue Pan's generous moves, so he climbed up to him and slapped prostitution and gambling every day--Xue Pan wanted to turn his face, but he was no match for Jia Huan's sweet talk, crying and making trouble.

"You say it's just such a thing, and you have the nerve to blame me!"

Seeing Xue Pan's angry appearance, Sun Shaozong smiled unconsciously, shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about him, but Xiong Guang's errand has already been settled."

"Of course it's settled!"

As soon as he got to the point, Xue Pan immediately regained his energy, patted his chest and said, "Brother, if I go out on the horse, can I still have a run? My old man said that as soon as there is a vacancy in the Zhili Inspectorate, we will immediately Make it up for him!"

After he finished speaking, he remembered something again, and hurriedly said, "By the way, my old man Ganzi also specifically explained that he asked you to pay more attention to Huguang's news recently."

Pay more attention to Huguang news?

Sun Shaozong's heart was moved when he heard the words, and the only news worth paying attention to from Huguang right now is the Wuxi barbarian rebellion.

Could it be that……

The imperial court intends to let him go to Huguang to suppress the rebellion?

But even though he was born in the army, he has no experience in leading troops to fight, so it stands to reason that it should not be his turn to lead troops to counter rebellion.

I told Xue Pan about my doubts in my heart, but this guy shook his head, "I only heard this sentence from my father-in-law. I don't know what it is for."

tsk~

This old man refuses to give a full set when giving favors, is it interesting to hide it?

While slandering, Xue Pan poked his head over, and asked furtively, "Second Brother, I heard that your Shuntian Mansion is going to clean up the private prostitutes in the city again?"

It's about Fengyue, this fellow is well-informed.

Because he knew that he was in the brothel and was quite acquainted with the old bustard Gui Gong, Sun Shaozong only thought that he wanted to inform him in advance, and didn't pay too much attention, so he casually told him the ins and outs of the matter.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xue Pan felt a little restless, said a few words inappropriately, and left the Sun residence in a hurry.

this guy...

What kind of idea did they seem to be playing?

After Sun Shaozong watched him leave, he pondered for a while, and then sent someone to send a message to the beggar security chief Hong Jiu, ordering Hong Jiu to arrange a few smart and capable beggars to keep an eye on Xue Pan, so as not to cause him to be confused again.

After explaining this matter, Sun Shaozong was thinking whether he should go to the prince's mansion and ask the prince to find out about Huguang's suppression of the rebellion, or go to Rongguo mansion to follow the virtuous concubine. up.

"Second Master."

He rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "The Caixia who committed the crime, I don't know how you want the little one to be dealt with?"

"how?"

Sun Shaozong said impatiently, "You can't even remember the rules of our house? I have to remind you!"

"No no no!"

Zhao Zhongji hurriedly explained, "According to the rules of our house, if you eat something like this again and again, you should sell it to the brothel - but she is an old man in Rongguo Mansion after all, and she has only been here for a few days. ..."

Although Sun Shaozong was very annoyed by this stubborn Zheng Taikong, it seemed too cruel to really sell her to a brothel.

"That's it."
