Detective in the Red Chamber

But Jia Amnesty thought he was saying the same thing, but how could it affect Sun Shaozong's private affairs?

Among other things, even Jia Yingchun might choose Sun Shaozong over her own father if she was between the two.

Second Sister You felt baffled, but Xue Baochai, who was about to leave, roughly guessed what Xing Xiuyan was thinking.

Immediately, he hurriedly pulled Second Sister You aside, and whispered to wake up: How can a decent woman live in a man's house as soon as she gets married?

Second Sister You suddenly realized, and quickly said: "Don't blame the girl, it's because we weren't thoughtful enough at the moment, you just wait at this house for a few days, and come to pick you up after your father is settled."

[Fourth update, [-] achieved]

Not to mention how the outside is.

But Li Wan was already impatient with the wait, and taking advantage of Baochai's absence to meet guests outside, he pleaded guilty to Xing Xiuyan, and went straight into the dormitory.

Going around the screen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum in front of the door, I saw that in the empty room with no decorations, Aunt Xue was sitting by the window, staring at a mercury mirror in a daze.

Li Wan was not in a hurry to disturb her, so he quietly walked to the front, taking a panoramic view of her lazy appearance.

After scrutinizing her for a long while, seeing that there was no worry on her brows, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked softly: "What is Auntie thinking?"

Aunt Xue never expected that someone had already bullied her, and she immediately became terrified. After seeing clearly that it was Li Wan, her complexion suddenly became complicated.

Li Wan's method of "examining herself" reminded her of the pain of being alone in the cold window for more than ten years, and thus relieved her sense of guilt.

Although Aunt Xue would not feel any gratitude to Li Wan because of this - after all, Li Wan caused all this.

But when facing Li Wan again, the hatred in his heart also weakened a lot invisibly.

So after looking at Li Wan for a while, she sighed, answered the wrong question, pointed to the embroidered pier in front of the dressing table and said, "Sit down and talk."

When Li Wan heard this, he felt more at ease.

Immediately move the embroidered pier to the front and sit opposite Aunt Xue.

Just as they met each other, Aunt Xue turned her gaze out of the window again, as if unwilling to speak again.

Li Wan had no choice but to press back the question that came to his lips, and stayed silent with her, waiting for her to take the initiative to break the barrier and embarrassment.

She didn't make Li Wan wait for long, but Aunt Xue frowned suddenly and said, "Apart from Miss Xing, is there anyone else here?"

Li Wan hurriedly said: "It's a concubine in Erlang's house in the Sun family. I heard that it was the daughter brought by Dongfu Zhen's sister-in-law and stepmother when she married into You's family. Later, she also changed her surname to You. Second Sister You."

Second Sister You?

When Aunt Xue heard these three words, her face blushed instantly. It turned out that that night, Sun Shaozong had compared and joked with Second Sister You.

At this moment, she suddenly heard Second Sister You's name, and the embarrassing scene at that moment emerged from the bottom of her heart again.

Speaking of the past, it's not that Aunt Xue didn't recall the scene of that day, but every time that memory just popped up, she quickly suppressed it, and then she was doubly ashamed.

This time it was different, Yue Mo used self-deception to suppress the guilt in his heart, this time the memory flooded up, not only was not suppressed by force, but as time went by, it became more and more clear.

That raving, that teasing, that unscrupulous...

All kinds of scenes were vividly revealed, which made Aunt Xue's heart flutter, her chest heaved, her breathing became panting, and layers of burning clouds appeared on her face.

She was in a trance, as if her soul was wandering away, but suddenly a hand was placed on Aunt Xue's knee, causing her to raise her head in a daze, and she looked at Li Wan with concern, and gave her a somewhat strange look.

"Auntie, all mistakes are my fault."

Li Wan's five scallion-like fingers drew circles on Aunt Xue's thigh, but he said earnestly: "If there is anything you can't explain clearly, just push it on me."

Aunt Xue shrank back uncomfortably, and asked subconsciously: "What can't be explained clearly?"

"Of course it's what my aunt looks like now!"

As Li Wan said, he stretched out his hand to pinch Aunt Xue's face, and when Aunt Xue wanted to raise her hand to push it away, she quickly retracted, and sighed: "Beautiful and fragrant, ashamed to kill Rui Zhu, even that little girl who doesn't know how to behave, I'm afraid I might get a little bit of lingering from it."

Aunt Xue stroked her cheek subconsciously, and the hot touch caused her to rush to the mercury mirror again, so she had a panoramic view of the face of a woman in Huaichun.

This appearance is much more blatant than when she just got married!

If my daughter really saw her, no matter how much she tried to quibble, it would be difficult to completely cover it up.

Aunt Xue panicked for a while, subconsciously cupped her cheeks with her hands, and said in shame: "This...how can I do this?!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Li Wan bullied her a little closer, and said softly: "Didn't you say that, if you really can't explain it, Auntie will just push it on me."

As she spoke, she put her other hand on Aunt Xue's shoulder.

At this time, Aunt Xue also faintly sensed something, and then she thought about the phrase 'just push it on me', she hurriedly got up and took a half step back, and said in embarrassment: "You... what are you doing?!"

Subconsciously, she couldn't help reaching out to protect her chest.

Seeing that she looked like a wolf guard, Li Wan couldn't help but chuckled, shook his head and said, "They're all women, how can I make trouble for you?"

Aunt Xue also sneered twice, but she didn't dare to relax her vigilance.

Originally, because she discovered Li Wan's adulterous relationship with Sun Shaozong, she thought that the so-called fake phoenix and virtual phoenix story was nothing more than gossip.

But looking at Li Wan's behavior now, those words are obviously not groundless.

Moreover, Li Wan seemed to have set his mind on himself!

This is what Aunt Xue guessed.

Li Wan didn't have such thoughts at first, but just now when he saw her flushed face, he was inexplicably moved.

She has always been with Suyun as a companion, but how can Suyun's beauty be compared with Aunt Xue's?

What's more, both of them are widows who have been alone for more than ten years, and they originally had some thoughts of sympathy for each other. Now if they can use Sun Shaozong as a matchmaker to accomplish something good, wouldn't it be called the best of both worlds?

Seeing Aunt Xue's vigilant look now, Li Wan's heart became more and more fiery, and she let go of her manner and speech.

Staring directly at Aunt Xue, she slowly got up, and said softly: "Actually, we really need to start with Erlang of the Sun family. We should be worthy of this sister. If my sister has any difficulties, I will naturally help her."

Hearing the words 'sisters match', Aunt Xue's face suddenly turned red again, as if thinking of Sun Shaozong's joke again.

Seeing this, Li Wan leaned forward again, stretched out his hand to grab Aunt Xue's wrist, and said softly: "Let's get closer as sisters, so what are we afraid of? On the contrary, no one will doubt that you and Sun Jia Erlang have... ..."

At this moment, the sound of the door was suddenly heard, followed by the faint sound of footsteps.

Aunt Xue hurriedly shook off Li Wan, and took two steps back, but the blush on her face did not fade away in time.

It was naturally Xue Baochai who came in from the outside.

She walked around the screen and saw her mother standing in the corner, while Li Wan was standing by the window, with the mercury mirror her mother used to use behind her.

Coupled with the abnormal expressions of the two of them, Xue Baochai was more and more convinced that their relationship was extraordinary.

Xue Baochai's heart was beating wildly at the moment, but she tried her best to stabilize her emotions, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "Why did my sister-in-law sneak in without saying a word? Sister Xiuyan thinks that she offended you there."

"Is there such a thing?"

Under her scrutinizing gaze, Li Wan felt a little guilty, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Then I will explain it to Miss Xing."

With that said, he left the dormitory.

After Xue Baoqin watched her leave, she turned around and saw that her mother was already looking uncomfortable, and immediately said: "I'll go out and have a look too."

With that said, he chased after him.

But when he came to the screen, he suddenly turned his head and said seriously: "Don't worry, mother, in fact, such things are... nothing, and I won't have any opinion of you because of it."

After finishing speaking, her face was also hot, so before Aunt Xue could react, she rushed out like flying.

Chapter 861 Jiang Yuhan Sets up the Wangjiang Tower 【Part [-]】

[I did too much yesterday, and I'm a little tired today—take it easy for a while, tomorrow is [-] words. 】

On the first day of November, in the backyard of the Sun Mansion.

Qingwen held a piece of mercury mirror and stood five feet away from Sun Shaozong, following the movements of Xiangling and Second Sister You, constantly adjusting the angle of the mirror.

As for the Liuli workshop under the name of Huangcheng Division, it has not been idle for the past two years. Palm-sized mercury mirrors have gradually become popular among the people.

If you don't ask for appearance and can bear the flaws, you can even buy a piece for more than a hundred dollars.

As for the basketball-sized piece in Qingwen's hand, it has plummeted to more than a dozen taels of silver from the hard-to-find one at the beginning.

It is said that the most indispensable thing for girls in the capital to get married these days is this small mirror.

Therefore, after Sun Shaozong returned to Beijing, the biggest change in his home was the addition of more than a dozen large and small mercury mirrors, and the replacement of the windows from paper paste to transparent and bright transparent glass.

"That's right."

Hearing Sun Shaozong talk about the glass windows, Caixia, who handed the handkerchief to Second Sister You, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I think back when Uncle Zhu in Rongguo Mansion got married, six pieces of glass windows were used in the new house. It’s a sensation—it’s only been a few years? Even ordinary people can afford glass windows!”

Listening to what she said, full of the sense of loss of class privileges being involved, Sun Shaozong said decisively: "When Nanfang'er sends the money to Beijing, first buy four...five sets of wardrobes with mirrors - you need the kind of clothes that stand in front of you." , can be illuminated from head to toe!"

Xiang Ling and Second Sister You both stopped their work, fell down on the ground and thanked them in unison.

In fact, Xiangling didn't care much about this, but Second Sister You couldn't help but be overjoyed. Although the price of mercury mirrors has plummeted nowadays, a wardrobe with floor-to-ceiling mirrors costs at least 800 taels of silver.

Thinking that even in the Ningguo Mansion, there are no such rare objects nowadays, she wished she could obsessively cling to them, so that Sun Shaozong could really feel the heat in her heart.

It's a pity that the time and place are all inappropriate, and Second Sister You can only suppress her excitement, and while helping Sun Shaozong tidy up the hero's cloak, secretly send some glances.

Seeing that it was almost tidy, Sun Shaozong took out his pocket watch to check the time, turned his head to Ruan Rong, who was lying on the Arhat's bed, teasing his son, and said: "I heard that there are also many female family members who will come to join us today. You really don't want to follow me See?"

Ruan Rong turned her son over on the bed and kissed him on the forehead, then lazily said: "Master also took a share of the shares, if we want to go, when will we not be able to do it? Or don't join in?" It's lively."

In fact, Xiangling and Second Sister You are most likely willing to join in the fun.

But Ruan Rong expressed her attitude early on, and it was naturally difficult for the two of them to pass her, so they both refused.

Seeing that they showed no signs of changing their minds, Sun Shaozong didn't bother to persuade them, stepped forward and lifted his son high, gave him a hard slap, then threw off the hero cloak, and strode out.

At this time, the sun was already setting outside.

As soon as he arrived at the front yard, he saw Xing Zhong coming up to him with a smile all over his face, and opened his mouth to Sun Shaozong, but he didn't know how to address him now, so his smile became awkward for a while.

Sun Shaozong smiled indifferently, and still called him as before: "Some trivial matters at home have just been sorted out, so it's too much trouble for Uncle Xing to wait for a long time."

"No, no, I just came here too, not long ago!" Xing Zhong said, and couldn't help rubbing his hands together: "I moved in this morning, everything is ready-made, half If you bring Xiuyan over in the daytime, it will be all work."

After Sun Shaozong came home last night, he learned about the cause and effect of the so-called "good thing" from Second Sister You.

Even though he hadn't actually planned on Xing Xiuyan, how could he, Sun Erlang, refuse such a beautiful thing as a pie in the sky?

Right now, I discussed with Second Sister You, lent her small courtyard to Xing's family to live in temporarily, so that Xing Xiuyan could have a place to prepare for her marriage.

However, because no one lived in the small courtyard for the past two years, even though it was cleaned every month, it still looked dilapidated.

So originally Sun Shaozong wanted someone to repair it first, and then let the Xing family move there.

Unexpectedly, Xing Zhong couldn't wait at all. As soon as he got the news, he borrowed a few servants from the Sun's family and moved all the big and small bags over there.

Now he said that he would bring Xing Xiuyan over as soon as possible, obviously because he couldn't wait to bring his daughter into Sun's house.

It's just that Sun Shaozong also heard that Xing Xiuyan was forced to agree to this marriage.

Although twisted melons may not be sweet, but given the choice, it is more delicious to eat them smooth.

So he said: "Uncle is willing to entrust sister Xiuyan to me. It is my Sun Shaozong's blessing. Naturally, the due courtesy is indispensable-not to mention the three media and six hires, my house is also well prepared. Only then."

This made Xing Zhong quite disappointed.

After all, because of Xing Xiuyan's vow, the Xing family might not get any benefits before getting married.

What's more, there are Jia She and his wife watching over him, and he is also worried that things will change later.

It's just that Sun Shaozong did this to praise his own daughter. No matter what a father does, he can't rush to urge the man to bring the bride in quickly, right?

At the moment, he could only obediently agree, and then he and Sun Shaozong took two carriages and rushed to Wangjiang Tower near the Prison Temple.

When Jiang Yuhan sang "The Case of Sun Gong", she set up a stage here, but now she has left the Zhongshun Palace to set up her own theater troupe, so she simply bought the Wangjiang Tower.

The original guest rooms in the Wangjiang Building have been converted into dormitories for theatrical troupe staff.

The catering part in the front has been partially adjusted on the basis of the original, forming a new pattern with the stage as the center selling point.

However, when Sun Shaozong arrived at Wangjiang Tower, he saw hundreds of wind lanterns hanging high, illuminating the open space in front of the gate as if it were daytime.

When the carriage stopped slowly in the open space, Jia Lian and Feng Ziying had already received the news and came out in a hurry.

Feng Ziying was married last summer, and she will be a new father in a few months, but she can't see any changes, she still has that bold and sharp temperament.

On the other hand, the second master Lian is getting more and more motherly.
