Chapter 52: The Storm

Yingchun's wet nurse and Yugui's daughter-in-law knew that they were afraid, and their mouths were blocked again, so they had to cry and beg for mercy. Li Kun glanced at them with disgust www.biquge.info instructed her mother-in-law to send the two to Wang Xifeng, took the pawn ticket casually, and said to Daiyu and Yingchun with a smile: "Look, this is the business of an acquaintance. ”

Yingchun looked at it, but she didn't understand what Li Kun meant, but Daiyu had a number in her heart, knowing that Li Kun was talking about the Xue family. took the pawn ticket and looked at it, and sure enough, the name of the Xue family was printed on it, so he showed it to Yingchun. Yingchun thought that his things were stolen by the nurse and used in Xue Baochai's shop, and his face turned red suddenly. Daiyu squeezed her hand and persuaded: "This is the misconduct of the slaves below, and the second sister is not wrong." Sister Bao too, she and her aunt also live here, how did the guys in her shop not know that this was a slave in our house who stole the master's things to be, why did they just collect things as if nothing happened? Wait for me to settle accounts with Sister Bao, and we'll get our things back. ”

As he spoke, he folded the pawn ticket and pulled Yingchun to go to Baoyu, and Baochai must be in Baoyu's room at this time.

Yingchun was ashamed and anxious, and hurriedly took Daiyu's hand, avoiding Li Kun and whispering: "You go to her to ask for something now, it was used by the nurse as an exchange for silver." I don't have any money to pay her back now, but don't I want to see her face and embarrass everyone? ”

Daiyu asked strangely, "Do you have no silver in your room?" Is there no gold and silver money left over from the usual monthly money and the New Year's reward? Yingchun twisted the handkerchief, and was afraid that Li Kun would scold the nurse again when he heard it, so he whispered: "The nurse usually uses my money as if it were her own." Yesterday, I said that I wanted to reward the little girl who came to deliver things in the Baoyu room, and I opened the box, and I didn't even have a copper coin. ”

Lin Daiyu heard her whisper like this, knowing that she was afraid that Li Kun would hear it, she thought for a while and said to Yingchun: "I still have some broken silver there, so I'll bring it to you first." We also have to redeem things, and we can't hide them. At noon, I handed it to Feng Lazi and told her to quietly let people redeem her, just don't make a noise. ”

Yingchun bit the handkerchief and nodded, and the tears rolled down again. Over there, Li Kun was ordering the girls in Yingchun's room to clean up, and they were in a hurry, so Daiyu pulled Yingchun to her room to freshen up.

Yingchun washed her face under Zijuan's service, re-evened her face, combed her hair, and Daiyu accompanied her to play a game of chess. Yingchun felt that his mood was much better, and he looked in the mirror again, and saw that the red marks under his eyes had disappeared, and he was relieved. At this time, Tanchun came over again to make an appointment with Yingchun to see a pair of white cranes raised in the garden, Daiyu sent them out, remembering that Wang Xifeng said that he wanted to come over, so he stayed in the house to write.

It was almost noon, and as soon as Wang Xifeng finished checking a batch of accounts, Jia Lian strode in, picked up the tea on the table and drank it with his neck tilted. Wang Xifeng hurriedly ordered Ping'er to make tea again, and Jia Lian drank it in one gulp before sitting down on the chair next to Wang Xifeng. The girls and mothers-in-law who served next to them went down one after another, Ping'er took an embroidered bandage, moved an embroidery stool and sat under the porch to do needlework, and Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian talked in the room:

"When I went out this morning, the horses were foaming at the mouth, and I didn't even drink saliva." Jia Lian said.

Wang Xifeng glanced at him and asked, "How is the trial outside?" Although she has a servant to help find out the news, it is not as convenient as asking from Jia Lian's mouth.

Jia Lian poured another glass of water and said, "There is evidence and sent it to the yamen, are you afraid that he will not be able to deny it?" You don't go out and don't see, I just went to the house of the Lai family to see, and in a trance it seems to have come to our garden, only a provincial archway. ”

Wang Xifeng asked in surprise: "Their family has such courage?" Jia Lian said with a smile: "What's not daring, isn't Lai Da begging to get rid of his son?" I heard that his family is also planning to donate a county official to his son, and all the slaves can be officials, so why don't you dare to build a garden? ”

Wang Xifeng didn't answer, so Jia Lian came forward with a salivating face and said: "It's a pity that the daughters raised by his family were all raised as delicate and noble as a daughter, and now they have been convicted, and they don't know where to sell them." ”

Wang Xifeng sneered and said, "Since I am reluctant, I will buy it for you and put it in the room in a few days, okay?" I'll move the burnt rolls and move them to make room for you. ”

Jia Lian sat back and said, "Look at what you said, I just mentioned it in passing, sighed a few words, and brought out a bunch of your words." As he spoke, he smiled and frowned and said, "But you have to be cautious lately, don't fall into any tricks outside, the second master specially told me before going out this morning to thoroughly investigate the contacts in and out of the house, you don't have the name of the house to take care of things outside, right?" ”

Wang Xifeng's face turned pale, he forced himself to calm down, took a sip of the cup and said: "I am in charge of the food and clothing of this big family, where do I have the leisure to go outside?" What kind of good thing is in the world, our Wang family has never seen it? Something happened to another minion, and he went home suspicious. ”

Jia Lian said with a smile: "I'm just reminding you carefully, even if I live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." If you take my seal and do something for others, and shake it out, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you. ”

Wang Xifeng couldn't stop his chest in one breath, Jia Lian reached out and took the cup of tea in her hand and drank it, poked her neck to look out at the sky, and was about to walk out: "The second master is also coming back from the next court, I want to go to the yamen to have another look, and I will eat outside at noon." ”

Wang Xifeng lowered his eyes and said, "Go!" When Jia Lian really went out and couldn't see his figure, Wang Xifeng stood up and said to Ping'er, who had received the embroidered bandage: "I'll go to Miss Lin and sit down, if there is anything, you can measure it." Ping'er agreed, Wang Xifeng grabbed the handkerchief, looked at the direction where Jia Lian went out, and walked to Lin Daiyu with his legs.

Entering Lin Daiyu's room, Zijuan hurriedly came to open the curtain for Wang Xifeng, poured a cup of tea and sent it over, and asked with a smile: "Second grandma has something to do today?" ”

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "You stuffy gourd, now you talk a lot." Zijuan smiled and pursed her lips. Wang Xifeng looked at Lin Daiyu and felt that if she told Daiyu about the incident in Tieji Temple, maybe Daiyu could help her get an idea. She thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh that she was stunned, Lin Daiyu was only twelve years old, and she didn't go out of the door since she was a child, how could she have an idea for such a big thing?
