Detective in the Red Chamber

It was bright at dawn, and Sun Shaozong was wearing a sable chin and full-breasted warm jacket, sitting on the edge of the bed and rubbing his temples.

In the end, I still drank a few more glasses, otherwise I wouldn't be letting loose in this room.

He didn't regret it, last night he hired Qingwen and Caixia - just two maids, and they slept as soon as they slept, so what's the big deal?

The main reason is that the place is not suitable!

In my daughter's room, I should avoid it anyway.

Fortunately, my daughter is still young, and it's not as long as I can remember, so I'll have someone change the bed later, and smoke it with spices.

Ok……

Spices should not be used indiscriminately. Nowadays, there are no environmental protection standards. What if the children are allergic?

It's better to leave it vacant for two days, wait for the smell to evaporate naturally, and then let her go back to sleep in this room.

After making up his mind, Sun Shaozong glanced back at the bed and saw that the two girls still had their eyes closed tightly, so fake that they could no longer pretend to be sleeping, so he simply ignored them and went to the outside room dressed neatly.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he bumped into the little maid Rui'er who was poking her head.

Seeing Sun Shaozong coming out, Rui'er immediately lowered her head and fiddled with the broom, trying to pretend she was cleaning.

But after thinking about it, she felt something was wrong, so she hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen the second master."

Sun Shaozong didn't bother to argue with her, and directly ordered, "When your aunt gets up, tell her not to let your daughter go to that room, and wait until I find someone to clean it up."

After a pause, he added, "You don't need to talk about Qingwen, you have to take care of her for the past few days, if there's anything you can't help, go outside and call your mother-in-law for help—you can also go to the small kitchen." Let me explain, please take a few days off for Caixia first."

Rui'er responded with a full mouth, and like a sunflower, she watched Sun Shaozong leave the west chamber.

When I turned around and looked inside again, the inquiry and novelty on my face turned into unstoppable envy.

…………

"Qingwen... take care of her... called my mother-in-law... small kitchen... please take a few days off..."

The voice outside was intermittent, but Qingwen heard it clearly again, which made her feel mixed feelings for a while, and tears filled her eyes that hadn't dried up before she knew it.

The memories of the past ten years are like a revolving lantern in my mind. Sometimes it is Baoyu and Xiren, and sometimes it is Xiangling and Ruier. face.

At this moment, a deep and hoarse voice suddenly entered her ears

"Are you satisfied now?!"

Qingwen opened her eyes and looked sideways, only to see Caixia staring at her resentfully, her breathing was full of red and swollen finger marks.

If it were yesterday, Qingwen would have had to argue with her, but now...

Qingwen really didn't want to argue with her anymore.

Enduring the pain in his buttocks, he slowly sat up straight, picked up the neat clothes and put them on, and tried his best to stand up with the help of the bedpost.

When her body got used to it, she was ready to go out.

Just as she moved her legs tremblingly, Qingwen stopped suddenly.

After hesitating for a while, he turned around and walked to the cupboard, took the scissors from the dustpan, returned to the bed and lifted the bedding, and carefully twisted off the piece of red that belonged to him from the bedding.

"Humph!"

Seeing her precious and respectful appearance, Caixia gritted her teeth even more with hatred, snorted coldly, sat up straight suddenly, bared her teeth and taunted, "Even a serious aunt may not be able to make it up." , Who else do you want to show this thing to? Could it be for the Second Lord Bao?!"

Hearing the word 'Second Master Bao', Qingwen finally had a reaction.

She shook her head slightly, and said with a wry smile, "Two years ago he couldn't keep me, so what can he do now? Even if we meet face to face, I'm afraid I'll be full of congratulations for getting a good home."

As he spoke, he moved towards the door step by step.

But when she got to the door, she stopped again, turned around hesitantly and warned, "You'd better restrain yourself, don't be fascinated by the obsession of the past - you must know that the second master can't tolerate sand in his eyes."

Caixia was about to retort, but she didn't go back early.

He didn't mention how Caixia was in the room, but said that Qingwen went outside, and Ruier, who had just spoken, was nowhere to be seen. Instead, Xiangling was holding a cup of hot tea, thinking blankly at the table.

"ah!"

Seeing Qingwen coming out from inside, Xiangling hurriedly got up and came to help her, let Qingwen sit on the head, and then complained, "Since you got up, why didn't you say a word? I was so noisy yesterday, I thought You won't show up until noon!"

Saying that, she leaned into Qingwen's ear and said, "I asked Rui'er to ask for the ointment, and I will apply it for you myself later, so as not to suffer..."

Qingwen didn't know how to face her at first, but when she heard her rambling as usual, she felt warm and ashamed unconsciously.

Just as he was about to say 'thank you', he suddenly heard Xiangling say, "In the morning, I will look for an opportunity to ask the master to see how he will arrange you..."

"Please do not!"

Qingwen was busy shaking her hands like a rattle. Xiangling's so-called resettlement obviously meant "promoting her to become an aunt", but how could this matter be as simple as she thought?

Seeing Xiangling's still ignorant look, she had no choice but to explain, "Second Master has already accepted a third-bedroom concubine and gave birth to a concubine before he got married--this is already unfavorable for marriage, but how can it be now?" Okay to add more?"

After finishing these words, Xiang Ling was stunned first, then covered her mouth and snickered.

Qingwen was inexplicably laughed at by her, and couldn't help asking what happened, and then she covered her mouth and said, "I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to figure it out, but now I hear you think so thoughtfully on behalf of the second master, but I am worrying unnecessarily."

Qingwen was embarrassed, and wanted to scratch Xiangling's itch, but felt that she shouldn't be so happy at this time, and finally grabbed her half cup of tea and poured it down.

After drinking the tea, the depression in her heart seemed to have washed away a lot, and she felt relieved instead.

After all, she has been away from Rongguo Mansion for two years, and she has lost contact with Jia Baoyu long ago, so she will never think about looking for life and death as before.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Not to mention what happened to the backyard of the Sun family, but Princess Beijing woke up in the morning and felt uncomfortable when she recalled what happened last night.

So he simply ordered someone to burn the bath water again, planning to scrub again.

Who would have thought that as soon as the tub was ready, someone knocked on the door outside, making people ask, but who else could it be if it wasn't Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong?

Since it was Shui Rong who wanted to come in, the maids and women were naturally unwilling to stop her.

So he hurriedly sent out one person to go forward and lower the latch.

bang~

Before opening the door, Shui Rong rushed in impatiently, waved away the maidservants in the room, and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that you took someone out last night and shot that Sun Shaozong in the way? Is this really true?" of?!"

Wei Shi turned around as if he had never heard of it, and tidied up the buttons and belt that he just undid just one by one, then turned around and asked indifferently, "So what if you are? So what if you are not?"

"Why are you so confused?!"

Seeing her attitude, Shui Rong was even more annoyed, and stomped his feet and said, "It's not like you don't know the situation I am in now! The most important thing right now is to befriend the prince, so as not to be implicated by the Niu family in the future - but you are lucky, you want to Go and provoke that Sun Shaozong again and again!"

"Do you know that just because of this grandson's words, the crown prince stunned and killed all the closest servants! If this grandson holds a grudge because of this, what should we do in the future?!"

While talking, he turned around the room in a panic.

In just two years, Shui Rong, who was originally in the prime of his life, has faintly grown old, which shows the heavy pressure on his shoulders and bottom of his heart.

But Wei Shi still looked calm and breezy.

In recent years, there has been a lot of estrangement between the husband and wife, Shui Rong only thinks that his wife is annoyed that he failed to save his brother-in-law.

Little did they know that although Wei Shi was not a scheming person, he was also vaguely aware that her husband had played a disgraceful role in his younger brother's case.

Hearing what he said at this time, he was thinking about his "future", and he didn't even think about Wei Ruolan, who had suffered innocent injustice and had been in prison for two years; The matter of Sun Shaozong's humiliation.

Wei Shi only felt annoyed, but how could he empathize with him?

Annoyed by her husband, she sneered and said, "I just want to ask about my second brother, and besides, he hasn't suffered any disadvantages. If I really want to hold a grudge, I should be the one who hates him!"

"Hey! If it's really about the second brother, then you shouldn't offend him!"

Shui Rong stomped her feet angrily, regretting how she had chosen to be the princess in the first place—it is true that she is both talented in piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, but her EQ is too low!

Wei Shi still didn't take it seriously, instead he sneered and said, "So what if you offend him? According to what you said, there will be no result in this case!"

Wei Ruolan's case has not been tried in the past two years, but every time the three divisions have a joint trial, there is endless debate.

In the beginning, Wei Shi was still actively running around, trying his best to make things work for Wei Ruolan.

But over time, she found that even if someone promised something secretly, it was still useless in class.

On the contrary, even if someone threatened to punish Wei Ruolan severely, it would be nothing in the end.

Later, Shui Rong and Wei Rusong asserted that this must have been ordered by the emperor, and the purpose was to keep the two families fighting.

So when she heard that Sun Shaozong would also be involved in this case, new and old hatreds welled up in her heart, and she wanted to vent her anger without any scruples.

"what do you know?!"

Seeing that she still refused to admit it, Shui Rong became more and more manic, waving his arms and said angrily, "This time is not a joint trial by the three divisions. According to the imperial court's intention, the case will be left to him alone!"

"what?!"

This time Wei Shi was really taken aback, he jumped up suddenly, and looked at Shui Rong for a while, seeing that he didn't intend to change his words, his long legs went limp again, and he slowly sat back on the bed .

Chapter 640 Appointing to take office [Part [-]]

Because of losing her innocence, Qingwen, who proved her innocence, temporarily received a monthly "compensation" of one tael or five yuan in silver, thus surpassing pomegranate and hibiscus, and became the big maid in the mansion who was second only to mandarin ducks.

Of course, this is only an overshoot on the surface, and Ruan Rong has made up for the gap in the dark, so as to prevent Pomegranate and Furong from feeling resentful because of their failure to face off.

As for Caixia who was proved guilty and then lost her innocence, she was once again demoted to a handyman—she seemed to be quite resentful, if she continued to stay in the small kitchen, who would feel at ease?

In short, such things that are common among wealthy and powerful families did not cause any waves in the Sun's residence, and the degree of attention was even far less than the news that Sun Shaozong was about to take office.

On the first day of October, cloudy.

"Gulu, Gulu... poof!"

Sun Shaozong spat out the white foam all over his mouth, and threw the toothpaste to the side with a pestle. Immediately, a little maid took it with both hands, and took it aside to wash it carefully.

Fu Rong handed over the tea at the right time, he took it in his hand and poured it into a half cup, gurgling for a while, then spit it out far away with a puff.

After so many times, Sun Shaozong returned the teacup to Fu Rong, and took a towel from another tray held by another maid. While cleaning his hands and face, he asked, "Recently, has the tooth powder been changed in our house?"

"Just changed."

Fu Rong hurriedly said, "It is said that it is a new prescription from Zhishunzhai. The nobles in the palace agreed to use it, so our family changed it accordingly."

"Change it back to the original one."

Sun Shaozong threw the towel onto the tray and ordered without looking back, "This fine salt is too finely ground, and I don't know what it is mixed with. It sticks to the teeth when brushed."

Entering the main room, seeing a few women still comparing the jade pendant with the official uniform, she couldn't help but said speechlessly, "Isn't it all set up yesterday, why are you messing with it?"

"Yesterday was yesterday!"

Ruan Rong held the three jade pendants side by side in her hands, first compared the shapes, and then compared the colors on the red official robe, and said crisply, "Isn't it cloudy today? It doesn't look bright enough."

This is definitely free!

Sun Shaozong was speechless, and sat down on the main seat.

Ruan Rong took a break from her busy schedule, first ordered Shiliu to pass the dishes in the small kitchen, then discussed with Xiangling and Second Sister You, and finally felt that the curtain was too thick and opaque, so she asked the two women to hold the official robe and go outside to scan Comparison.

It wasn't until the food was almost ready that the three women came back from the outside and took their seats at the table.

"Look at you mobilizers."

Sun Shaozong said helplessly, "I am going to be an official, not a part-time job in the elephant house. Who dares to get close and take a closer look?"

Ruan Rong burst out laughing, and covered her mouth and said, "If you really want to work part-time in the elephant house, the business will definitely be good."

As he spoke, he looked at Second Sister You teasingly, "Do you think this makes sense?"

How could Second Sister You dare to take up such conversations?

First he laughed a few times in response, and then took advantage of the situation to tell Ruan Rong, "After all, it's the first day for me to take office, and my sister also wants to prepare as safely as possible."

"I think it's idle."

Picking up the ivory chopsticks from the rhinoceros horn chopsticks pillow, Sun Shaozong first picked up the rare green leafy vegetables at that time, and put a chopstick on Ruan Rong's plate, "Half a day, go and see your godmother, or go to enjoy the maple leaves Qiu Ju or something—and by the way, let the child loosen his muscles and bones."

That's all for the first time, but the latter words made Ruan Rong curl her lips, saying that the little bastard is so skinny all day long, why does he need to exercise his muscles?

As she spoke, she was the second to pick up the chopsticks, and then Xiang Ling and Second Sister You followed suit.

Because today I cooked dozens of autumn crabs, and there are seven or eight maidservants beside them, each holding gold needles, silver and bamboo tweezers, and using the method of "splitting the meat on the legs of egrets, cutting the fat and oil in the abdomen of mosquitoes", and pouring them into the shells. Searching desperately.

The whole family was feasting like this, when they heard the report from the woman outside that Mr. Liu from Dongsi Pailou had arrived and was waiting in the front living room.

Is Liu Xianglian here?

Although it has been discussed that he will be his teacher, but he did not say that he should rush over early in the morning to accompany him to the post.
