Rongqing Hall, Jia Baoyu's house.

Qingwen and Musk Yue jointly carried a large smoke cage into the room and placed it under Jia Baoyu's desk.

"The snow melted yesterday, and although it is warmer today than yesterday, it is not careless. Although this guy is more bulky, fortunately, he used it, and he only turned it out of the small utility room yesterday, and asked the little girls to wipe it clean, and we just loaded new carbon into it, and the second master tried to warm it up. ”

Qingwen listened to Musk Yue's words and said with a smile: "The soles of the second master's shoes are so thick, where can you know whether it is warm or not so quickly, you have to be like this." With that, Qingwen squatted down, took off Jia Baoyu's plush boots under the desk, and then put Jia Baoyu's feet on the smoker cage.

The so-called smoke cage is nothing more than a brazier heart inside, and a copper frame on the outside, with many styles, which can be used to bake fires, smoke clothes, and even larger ones, and people can sleep on them. It is safe and warm, and the advantage is that it can be moved compared to a hot kang head.

The smoke cage found by the attackers yesterday weighed dozens of pounds, and it took a lot of effort for Qingwen and Musk Yue to carry it in from the outside.

However, the effect is also obvious. Only stepping on the smoker cage through the socks, warm and dry, very comfortable. In particular, she sat behind the desk, and under the desk was Qingwen, holding her feet against the smoker, feeling like she was being held in her arms to keep warm.

"Second master, you are talking, is it warm?"

Jia Baoyu wanted to feel it for a while, but Qingwen, who didn't get an answer, couldn't help but ask.

This is the result of a few mornings between her and Musk Yue, and she naturally wants to be affirmed by Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu said: "Well, it's very warm......"

As he spoke, he stretched out his foot and stepped on Qingwen's hand to prevent her from leaving. Qingwen pumped twice, but didn't pull it out.

Musk Yue couldn't see all the scenes below, and when she saw that Qingwen didn't get up for a long time, she smiled and said, "Are the second master's feet very fragrant, and you are reluctant to let go of your little hooves?" ”

Jia Baoyu knew that she was going to suffer as soon as she heard Musk Yue's words, and sure enough, Qingwen under the table pinched Jia Baoyu's calf and stomach fiercely, and then suddenly pulled out her hand and stood up, her face slightly red. Gain, Jia Baoyu stepped on her, and twisted it around the back of her left hand with the forefoot of her foot.

The second master is really getting more and more hateful!

The atmosphere in her heart, but in order not to arouse more suspicion from Musk Yue next to her, she just glanced at Jia Baoyu, and then walked out of the house quickly.

Seeing Qingwen flee again, Jia Baoyu smiled and said in her heart: Xiao Qingwen, you can't escape.

"What did the second master do to her? I was in high spirits just now, why did I leave suddenly? Musk Moon asked.

"It's nothing, maybe she didn't lay the quilt in the morning, and she was busy going back to make the quilt at this time."

Jia Baoyu casually talked nonsense, in exchange for a slight white eye from Musk Yue. Then Musk Yue scolded again: "This little hoof, whether you take it off or not, I don't know how to put it on for the second master before leaving." ”

As she spoke, she also squatted down and helped Jia Baoyu put on her boots.

Jia Baoyu accepted the maid's service with a smile, and he found that he liked this era more and more.

Sitting in the house and reading a book in the morning, Xiangyun ran over to make trouble with him, but after a while, she was bored, and ran to Tanchun and the others to play.

Jia Baoyu didn't go with her because she had something on her mind, and when she left, she noticed that it was almost dark, and she also asked Musk Yue to change her clothes and go out of the second door.

Not long after arriving at the outer study, Mingyan arrived, and Jia Baoyu asked him about the situation in Ning Guofu.

Mingyan replied: "Sure enough, as the second master guessed, the East Mansion was indeed in chaos this morning, and I visited and inquired everywhere inside and outside the mansion." At first, I didn't dare to go over, but then I saw that the wind was weaker, so I found out the situation by looking for the reason that Daniel Zhang wanted to gamble. ”

"Uncle Zhen can send someone to report to the official?"

"No, definitely not. I inquired clearly, Daniel Zhang and they didn't even know what happened, they only heard that it seemed to be stolen last night, and they lost a few things that didn't matter. ”

Jia Baoyu nodded, although he made all preparations, but Jia Zhen chose not to report to the official, which can be regarded as the best result.

Last night's action by the You clan was naturally Jia Baoyu's idea for her. The strategy is very simple, it is to intimidate Jia Zhen in a real way, so that he does not dare to do anything to the Qin family again.

Originally, it was a scandal for the father-in-law to covet his daughter-in-law, Jia Baoyu can be seen as the Qin family is too charming, and Jia Zhen is lustful for a while. wants to smoke his heart, but after he put two shackles on him before and after, if Jia Zhen still can't control himself, then maybe it is really time to let Jia Zhen see blood.

That's right, whether it was borrowing Jia Jing's authority last time or this clear threat, it can be regarded as a "first salute", which is a relatively gentle means before tearing his face.

If we can settle things here, we will all be happy. If not...... He has now shown his face in front of the most powerful people in the imperial court, such as the Emperor Taishang, the Taishi, and the Second Prince, thinking that he will soon be able to have his own power and strength, and when the time comes, it may be better to clean him up.

The reason why he adopts a gentle approach now is not that he cares about the feelings of his kindred race, the Jia family will only get better without Jia Zhen. He is gentle now, but he doesn't want to fight the tiger without dying, but is injured by it.

After all, Jia Zhen has a knighthood, and if he plots against him now, he may pay an unbearable price.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, but should plan and then act. Protecting the Qin clan was something he did voluntarily, but it was better to be cautious until he was fledgling.

"Second master, what happened in the East Mansion, why did you ask me to pretend to be a thief and throw that thing in the middle of the night?"

Mingyan's words made Jia Baoyu stop thinking, looked back at him and said, "I will naturally tell you what I can tell you, there are some things, you know no good, do you understand?" ”

"Understood, understood! It's me who talks too much, as long as I do the errand assigned by the second master, the second master will not treat me badly, hehe. ”

Mingyan sneered.

Jia Baoyu was satisfied. Last night's incident involved the Qin family and the You family, especially the You family, if she was not careful, it would affect her, so the You family's actions last night, except for Jia Baoyu, no one else knew about it, not even anyone who assisted.

And the reason why You Shi is willing to follow Jia Baoyu's advice and help him complete this matter is because Jia Zhen's matter is related to her vital interests. She is the last person in the entire Jia family who is willing to see Jia Zhen climb the ashes.

Moreover, it is not only extremely convenient to let You Shi do it, but Jia Zhen will not suspect You Shi at all. One is that You Shi is his pillow person, and there is no motive to "harm him". The second is the female generation of the You family, he doesn't believe that the You family dares to do such a thing at all. Three, Jia Baoyu deliberately wrote the content of the last post in the note, Jia Zhen knew at a glance that it was the person who shot again last time, and Mingyan threw evidence of thieves over the wall outside the wall, Jia Zhen could not suspect You's.

Of course, there is another thing that Jia Baoyu doesn't know, Jia Zhen already suspects that it was the person behind the Qin family's identity who warned him. Jia Zhen knew that the identity of the Qin family was not simple, but Jia Jing refused to tell him the exact news, he had been guessing blindly for half a year, and he had endured not to do anything to the Qin family.

It was only half a decade ago that he couldn't hold back, so he coerced and lured the Qin family, but he didn't dare to use force on her like that time in Huifang Garden. Because Jia Zhen thought that if the Qin clan voluntarily obeyed him, he would not know it, and even Jia Jing would not do anything to him.

Where did he think that the Qin family would run to Jia Baoyu for help, and when Jia Baoyu heard it, he naturally thought that Jia Zhen was going to use force against the Qin family again, because the Qin family didn't make it clear at all, and she deliberately didn't say it clearly......

After talking about Ning Guofu, Jia Baoyu didn't stay in the study room for long, and was about to stop by to see Jia's mother, and happened to meet Wang Xifeng.

When he met Wang Xifeng, he said: "I've seen the gift you gave me, it's hard for you to bother, even your second brother Lian has never given me such a good-looking hairpin." ”

"The second sister-in-law is polite, for my business, I have kept the second sister-in-law busy for two or three days, so I have to express it."

"Hehe, what about your sister-in-law, she was busy for your business for most of the day yesterday?"

"Naturally, I also sent ......"

When Wang Xifeng heard this, he was immediately not so happy.

Jia Baoyuxin said that it was originally to facilitate You Shi to bring the dagger back without leaving a trace, so he specially sent the hairpin.

Otherwise, although it is not too expensive, but one is also several taels of silver, Wang Xifeng and You Shi are both rich people, richer than him, where is he willing to give them such things......
