There are more than ten people in this bustling city, and there is a foreign man like Sun Shaozong, so it is not good to eat at the same table.

Therefore, there were three tables in the hall, and a screen partition was erected in the middle, and Jia Mu led Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai to occupy a seat; Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue sat at the same table with Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun.

As for the table outside the screen, it was naturally left to Sun Shaozong and Jia Baoyu.

There are also Wang Xifeng and Li Kun, because one has to take care of the old lady, and the other is in front of the mother-in-law, but they have to wait by the side first, and then sit down to eat after everyone has eaten.

didn't mention what was going on inside, but said that Jia Baoyu outside lifted the silver kettle, filled the wine glass in front of the two, and couldn't help but listen curiously: "Did the second brother find any clues later?" ”

"There are two traces of climbing over the wall in the northeast corner, one in and one out, and the footprints are three pairs." Sun Shaozong lifted the chopsticks and took a piece of eggplant, put it in his mouth and chewed it, but it was a layered meat taste, and he couldn't help but praise: "Back to your house, this meal has never been the same." ”

"The second brother still hasn't come much."

Jia Baoyu was not interested in these meals at all, he didn't touch the chopsticks, and said: "In this way, those thieves have already escaped?" ”

"Eighty percent of this is the case, but it is also a trick to keep it even."

"Can the second brother ......?"

Jia Baoyu salivated, as if he had something to ask for, but before he could finish speaking, he heard someone behind the screen shouting: "Lao Liu, Lao Liu, eat as much as a cow, eat an old sow and don't look up!" ”

Immediately there was laughter inside, Jia Baoyu looked curiously, but saw Shi Xiangyun squirting out a mouthful of rice; Lin Daiyu laughed and belched on the table; Mrs. Wang smiled and pointed at Sister Feng, but she couldn't speak; Even Aunt Xue couldn't hold it, and the tea in her mouth sprayed Tanchun's skirt; The rice bowl in Tanchun's hand is buckled on Xichun; Xichun simply left the seat, pulled the nurse and rubbed her intestines.

None of the maids in the house bent over without smiling, some hid out and squatted and laughed, and some couldn't help laughing and came up to change clothes for her sisters.

I saw that Grandma Liu picked up the chopsticks, and said: "The chickens here are also handsome, and the eggs laid are also small, so I'll pick one up if it's weird!" ”

Everyone stopped laughing, and when they heard this, they couldn't close their mouths with joy.

Seeing that Jia's mother's tears of laughter came out, Jia Baoyu returned to the table with a flat mouth, but she became more and more angry, and said angrily: "This mother-in-law is not crazy, and she is a good show!" ”

Sun Shaozong had already seen Wang Xifeng and Jia Tanchun, and pointed at Grandma Liu as if he was calculating something, so he shook his head and said: "It's not necessarily that she is singing a one-man show, but I'm afraid that your second sister-in-law is doing well in other people's dramas, and she is forced to add a play." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Jia Mu laugh inside: "This must be Feng Ya's first ghost, don't believe her words." ”

Seeing that the matter was really expected by Sun Shaozong again, Jia Baoyu admired it, and couldn't help sighing: "It's crazy people who rap the play, and it's fools who watch the play, but I don't know how to talk about it." ”

Because he heard Wang Xifeng say that the quail eggs cost one or two pieces of silver, Sun Shaozong skewered two with chopsticks, shook them into Jia Baoyu's bowl, and said with a smile: "She sings hers to herself, why do you care so much?" Isn't this two silver and a golden egg enough to gag your mouth? ”

Jia Baoyu finally couldn't help but snort and laughed, picked up the two quail eggs and ate them, and made up Fang Cai's words completely.

But it turned out that he saw that his sisters and sisters didn't say anything, but they all had a string in their hearts, so he hoped that Sun Shaozong could stay in the garden for one night, so as not to be frightened.

Sun Shaozong didn't respond to this matter immediately, he originally wanted to take Jia Yingchun in the afternoon and leave the land together, if he wanted to stay in the garden at night, Jia Yingchun would not be able to go home alone.

But Jia Yingchun is pregnant after all, where did she suffer from this fearful fright?

told Jia Baoyu about these scruples, and Jia Baoyu also felt that the second sister should not be suspected, so he hurriedly said that it was actually enough to have himself in the garden, and there was no need to bother the second brother Sun.

After revealing this article for the time being, Baoyu picked up a few delicious meals, quickly filled his stomach, watched Sun Shaozong fly like a fly, and solved a few bowls of rice in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but envy his appetite again.

"That's right."

After a while, Jia Baoyu suddenly remembered a suspicion again, so he asked curiously: "What do you mean by what Second Brother Lian said in the morning?" ”

"Uh......"

Sun Shaozong almost didn't choke, he had the intention to cover up the past, but after thinking about it, with Jia Lian's attitude alone, I am afraid that this matter may not be able to be concealed for a long time, rather than hiding it now, and revealing his obscene nature afterwards, it is better to be selectively honest, so as not to embarrass each other in the future.

Besides, this matter was caused by Jia Baoyu sleeping with King Beijing's concubine, so he was not afraid that he would be annoyed.

So Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Actually, after you got drunk at noon yesterday, Xiaohong, the maid in your house, was ordered to go inside to spread the word, and the second brother Lian was probably influenced by the King of Beijing, and he didn't let that Xiaohong serve me, and I repeatedly refused, but I still ......."

"Oops!"

Sun Shaozong was talking here, and Jia Baoyu let out a bird's call, not saying that Sun Shaozong was startled by him, and even Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang inside were alarmed, and they all asked through the screen.

Jia Baoyu knew that he was in trouble, and hurriedly explained: "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of an important thing and forgot to do it." ”

turned around with a bitter face, and said, "I said that I was going to visit Sister Qiulian early this morning, but now I ...... Alas. ”

It turned out that I remembered this.

Sun Shaozong was relieved: "There is a reason for it, and it is not something you intend to do, and it is nothing to say that it is a day away." ”

Jia Baoyu really 'listened to people's persuasion', and immediately decided to go to the Beijing Palace's mansion early tomorrow morning to visit the little concubine Qiulian.

As he spoke, he hesitated again: "Brother, tomorrow night's full moon wine, either I won't go, so as not to make my little niece sick." ”

"What are you afraid of?"

Sun Shaozong said with a smile: "It's cold tonight, I didn't plan to take the child out and let you pass it on." ”

Thinking about it, he advised: "But a few days ago, Xue Pan was sick, and his body was still very weak, you came out of the Beijing Palace, you might as well go home to bathe and change your clothes first, and then go over to eat and drink." ”

Jia Baoyu didn't hear about it, so he took the opportunity to ask what was going on, and couldn't help complaining about Aunt Xue and Sister Bao, and refused to reveal the slightest rumor, otherwise he, as a cousin, should go over and take a look.

However, after only complaining a few words, he turned to the link he was most concerned about: "Second brother, have you found out anything in the past few days?" ”

Sun Shaozong shook his head: "Na Yun'er, who was raised by Xue Datou, does have a lover in private, but he is a powerless lifter, and he has no power in his family, so he should have nothing to do with this matter." ”

"As for the rest...... Recently, Xue Datou has been much more honest than before, at least on the surface, he has not offended any enemies. ”

While talking, I heard that the banquet inside had dispersed, and Jia's mother led everyone out, and after telling Sun Shaozong to eat and drink enough, she went to Jia Tanchun's boudoir to gossip.

There was no trace of Grandma Liu, thinking that the old lady in the countryside had not eaten and drunk enough, and Wang Xifeng and Li Kun stayed in it to eat.

Because he was always interfered with by Jia Baoyu, Sun Shaozong only ate half full, so he naturally refused to wronged himself, and was about to sit down to continue eating and drinking, but he heard Grandma Liu sigh behind the screen: "It's nothing else, I only love your family's actions, and the strange way says 'courteous everyone'." ”

What a 'courtesy to everyone'!

This is clearly the number of etiquette that picks the Rongguo Mansion!

Sun Shaozong originally glanced at the old lady higher than others, but when he heard these four words, he found that he still underestimated her!

These four words are hidden in the needle, and he named himself not because he didn't know what was wrong with it, but he just acted according to the meaning of the master's family.

The timing is just right, one minute earlier to stir up the scene, a moment later to lose weight, if it is not for the insight into the world, it is definitely not good to grasp this kind of proportion!

At that moment, I could hear that Wang Xifeng apologized again, and repeatedly ordered the maid to serve tea to Grandma Liu, but Grandma Liu hid her edge and was full of honest words.

Outside, Jia Baoyu was stunned for a long time, Fang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The second brother said yesterday that I was not as good as her, and I was still unconvinced. ”

Sun Shaozong couldn't get used to his backwards, but he liked his character of never pretending to be wrong, so he said with a smile: "There is a saying that 'the world is insightful and knowledgeable, and the practice of human feelings is the article', how old have you lived?" In the future, if you pass more, you will be able to attain it. ”

Jia Baoyu nodded in response, and suddenly felt that this sentence seemed to have been seen somewhere, but he couldn't remember the source for a while, thinking that he might have seen it in that book, so he didn't bother to think about it.

But he said that when Sun Shaozong was eighty percent full, he saw that Grandma Liu was also accompanied by Li Kun and went to Jia Tanchun's boudoir, so he got up and greeted: "Let's go, let's go outside with me first." ”

"Wait!"

Without waiting for Jia Baoyu to respond, a Wang Xifeng suddenly flashed behind the screen, and said with a cold face: "I have a few words, I want to make it clear to Erlang face to face, Brother Bao, please go outside and wait first." ”

Although he was reluctantly touched by his in-laws, it was still taboo to speak in private.

If you change to an old and serious person, Bacheng should be persuaded tactfully, but Jia Baoyu is not a rule-abiding person, and he is the most scornful of men and women, so he only hesitated a little and picked up the curtain outside.

So in this Xiaocui Hall, only Sun Shaozong and Wang Xifeng were left.
