The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 280: Yingchun Return Home [(3)]

Lin Daiyu used a hoe to kill Mingyan that day, and when she turned around, she became seriously ill due to excessive palpitations.

If she were to follow her previous sickly physique, she would have died prematurely.

Fortunately, over the past six months, she first exercised at the urging of Ruan Rong. From January on, she listened to Sun Shaozong's analysis and practiced diligently every day.

Although the time was not long, she managed to make her bones and muscles stronger and barely managed to get through this disaster.

On the morning of March 25th, although Lin Daiyu still had weak limbs and a pale complexion, her body temperature had returned to normal, and she could finally lift her body and lean against the soft cushion to chat with Baoyu.

Just before he could say a few words to herself, Xi Ren hurriedly arrived and said, "The Old Eldest Master felt unwell yesterday and specifically called for Lady Yingchun to return early. The girls have already gone to say hello, and the Old Lady asked you to head over too.

Jia Baoyu hesitated after hearing this, but Daiyu hurriedly urged, "For the sake of my illness, you even missed the big wedding of Second Sister. Even if Second Sister is kind and doesn't pick on your etiquette, I am very sorry in my heart. If you still refuse to show up at the moment, wouldn't I have even less face to see Second Sister in the future?

A few days ago, Jia Baoyu was completely tied to Sister Lin. After Daiyu's condition improved these days, he often felt sorry for Jia Yingchun when she recalled it.

Therefore, with Lin Daiyu's advice, Baoyu also took the opportunity to get up and carefully instructed Zijuan and others before reluctantly leaving the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Jia Baoyu went to the East Cross Courtyard to visit his Elder Uncle Jia She first. Only then did he know that he just caught a cold occasionally. Yesterday, he drank some medicine and he looked fine today.

Especially with a few golden ingots in his hand, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop tilting upward.

It didn't matter to see him. After Baoyu greeted him, he went to Madam Xing again. Before he could enter the door, he saw that there were many sisters gathered, and there was no shortage of big servant girls of high status. On the contrary, Madam Xing was not one of them.

Baoyu looked around outside the door for a while, but when he was about to enter, he felt a bit timid.

In a moment of hesitation, Shi Xiangyun had already caught him with her eyes. She slapped and joked, "Everyone, go out and see if the sun is rising from the west. Otherwise, how could Brother Bao be willing to come out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion?

With her slightly biting and charming voice, everyone turned their attention to Jia Baoyu. Seeing his embarrassed appearance outside the door, they couldn't help but laugh like silver bells.

Jia Baoyu was even more ashamed, but he gritted his teeth and ran up to Jia Yingchun, bowing to the end, "It's my fault. You can beat and scold me, just don't remember it in your heart, Second Sister.

Wang Xifeng, Xiangyun, Yuanyang, and others were all teasing around, saying that he must not be lightly spared.

Jia Yingchun, however, had already panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Baoyu up. With a timid smile, she said, "I am very happy that you can come today. What else is there to say?

Upon hearing that she had no intention of blaming himself, Jia Baoyu felt even more ashamed and couldn't help but express concern, saying, "Sister, how are you doing at the Sun family?

Naturally, it's very satisfying.

Before Jia Yingchun could speak, Wang Xifeng beside her rushed to answer, "She has only been married for a few days, and she has brought back all these piles of things, big and small.

She pointed to the gift box on the coffee table and exaggerated, "You didn't see it just now. Siqi took a bag of golden beans, and it seemed like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers. If it weren't for me that drove people out, these few rooms would have been overturned by the bounty slave.

When Wang Xifeng said this, Jia Yingchun became even more awkward, twisting her handkerchief anxiously and hesitating, "Its not... not as what you said, Sister-in-law.

Actually, she had been trying to stop Siqi for a while, but Siqi followed suit for a few years and finally puffed up her pride. She was able to show off vigorously and didn't care how much Yingchun tried to dissuade her.

Yes, it did.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and said, "The Old Lady praises you just now. Saying that, to be honest, I've been raising you well for these years, and now, I can count on you.

After listening to Wang Xifeng's ostentatious words, Jia Baoyu's impression of Sun Shaozu was mixed. However, he hesitated and couldn't help but inquire again, "What about Brother-in-law? Has he come with you today?

When Jia Yingchun heard him ask about Sun Shaozu, she quickly followed the words discussed with Siqi and Xiuju last night and said, "The Elder Master will take turns in the military camp outside the city today. As he only got the news last night, he needs to return early today. He really can't get away from it, so he asked the Second Master to send me over.

Is Brother Sun here?

Baoyu heard that it was Sun Shaozong who came and immediately pursued him excitedly. "Where is he?

Since your Second Brother was not at home at the moment and there was no suitable person to entertain him, he accompanied Ruan Rong to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to visit Daiyu," Wang Xifeng replied.

Did he go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion?

Jia Baoyu hesitated for a moment and then extinguished the idea of chasing after him.

Firstly, he was afraid that if he went, it would disturb Ruan Rong's reunion with Sister Lin after several months. Secondly, by rushing over recklessly, if he were to spend a few words with Sun Shaozong in the living room nearby, it wouldn't be much of a deal. However, if he turned around and left now, what would the others think?

However, Jia Baoyu has kept his mind, but another person in the room had a thought.

This person was not someone else, but it was the pretty widow Li Wan.

She was a bit late and didn't originally know Sun Shaozong's whereabouts. At this moment, she heard that she had accompanied Ruan Rong to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After all, Lin Daiyu was a young girl who had not yet married. If Sun Shaozong were to accompany Ruan Rong, she was afraid that she could only wait outside, while Ruan Rong and Lin Daiyu had not seen each other for several months, and there must be a lot of personal things to say.

So

Li Wan became more restless as she thought, and as she saw everyone talking loudly, no one noticed her. She took a moment and quietly left the hall, calling for her maid, Su Yun. She left the east courtyard and headed straight for Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

As they approached the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, they saw the ambitious man, whom she had been longing for for a long time, wandering alone in the corridor outside the main entrance.

Li Wan felt that her heart, as if she had been filled with hot charcoal fire, and her gourd-shaped body were about to melt away.

She might not have been a clever person normally, but now she was blessed with a spiritual heart.

Hand in hand with Su Yun, walking forward like cotton, while using a moderate and appropriate voice, she said in a coquettish voice, "If you are free, you can accompany me to take a look around the Grand View Garden. I heard that there's no place like this that's the most peaceful.

On the other hand, when Su Yun saw Sun Shaozong, she had already become jelly, and she couldn't tell who was holding whom. She tightly clamped her legs and slowly moved for a long time before finally getting close to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Tch!

Sun Shaozong naturally saw the master and servant and, after listening to Li Wan's words in the corridor, how could he not know her thoughts?

Difficulties arose unconsciously in his heart.

At first, he thought it was a one shot deal, but surprisingly, it involved applying for after-sales service.

If he intentionally didnt go to the appointment, he was afraid that Li Wan wouldn't be able to wait in that grand garden for a long time and then turn around to continue pestering him. But if someone with bad intentions saw a flaw, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?

Furthermore

The appearance of the master and servant just now was truly heartbreaking!

Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, Sun Shaozong called for Shiliu through the door and explained that he planned to walk around casually. If Ruan Rong asked, let her wait for a moment longer.

After finding this excuse, Sun Shaozong appeared to be casual and circled half a circle before following a remote path and heading straight toward the Grand View Garden.

Since Jia Yuanchun lived here when she returned home, the door was usually kept closed, and few people were to visit.

However, as soon as Sun Shaozong arrived nearby, he saw the arch bridge in front of the gate, where the master and servant stood smartly, pointing and pretending to admire the scenery.

Seeing Sun Shaozong indeed rushing over, Li Wan's heart was about to fall back into her belly. She took a few steps and then, with a trembling voice, spoke out,You little brat, you used to torture me in my dreams. Today... I can finally see you again today!

As soon as she saw him, she was about to throw herself into his arms. Sun Shaozong quickly whispered, "This is not the place to talk, why not

He looked up at the locked Grand View Garden and then said, How about I take you inside and take a look at the dragon bed of the Imperial Concubine?

He said to take a look, but how could Li Wan not know what he meant?

It was absolutely necessary, and she accompanied him, leaning over the wall and inclined toward the street.

There was a poem saying,

With a touch of limited red walls, there is a gentle and distant countryside in the dark.

The bathroom is filled with joy and no moral attendants, while the wall clothes hide the beauty secretly.

The lotus house has long forbidden idle butterflies, and the tung tree has recently settled in a small phoenix.

Today, it is clear that melancholy has turned, and the peaks are like snow shining through the window.
