At the beginning of July in the tenth year of Guangde, it rained for several days, but it also relieved some of the heat, which made the people of the capital a lot more happy.

Only the hundreds of craftsmen in the provincial courtyard of Rongguo Mansion were all complaining, soaking in muddy water all day long, and doing the elaborate work, and after three or five days, they fell ill more than a dozen, and the rest were constantly complaining.

Seeing that the construction period was about to be missed if it continued like this, Jia Zhen and Wang Xifeng were busy and made a wave of rewards, and the craftsmen could be regarded as stopping.

However, in this way, the cost of building a garden has exceeded the budget by more than double, and even Wang Xifeng, who is used to being lavish, is also shocked every time he looks at the astronomical figures in the accounts.

But at present, more than eighty percent of the provincial pro-family courtyard has been repaired, and the rest are mostly 'face projects', which really can't be reduced.

Helpless, several masters of Jiafu could only grit their teeth and hold on, filling in the old books they had accumulated over the years.

Of course, these 'mundane things' can't affect the many warblers, Yanyanyan, rich and noble idlers in Rongguo Mansion at the moment.

Early in the morning of the eighth day of July, seeing that the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, Lin Daiyu nested in the house while fiddling with needlework and chatting with Zijuan.

was talking about the gossip of the sisters, and suddenly heard a crisp sound outside, and then the exclamations of snow geese and spring fiber:

"Second Master Bao, it's raining so hard, why did you come here again?"

"Yes, look at this garment is a lot wet, if there is a good one, how can we bear it?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Jia Baoyu said that it was okay, but he had already gone into the room by himself, and complained without a word: "Originally, I heard that Second Brother Sun was coming, so I went over to look for him, but who knew that he didn't even stand firm on his feet, so he went to Fengfu with Second Brother Lian to say goodbye, and let me pounce in vain, so I had to come to find Sister Feng'er to relieve my boredom." ”

Recently, because Ruan Rong is so badly harmful, he can't eat and sleep every day, Sun Shaozong has no intention of distracting, going out late and returning early all day long, and changing his way to appetize Ruan Rong.

Therefore, Rongguofu's 'martial arts class' naturally stopped, and others just returned it, but Baoyu couldn't hear the latest progress of the case, and scratched his ears and cheeks like a monkey all day long.

"I'm the one to amuse you and relieve your boredom?"

Lin Daiyu was coquettish, but she was busy shouting to Snow Goose and Chun Fiber, went to make hot tea and Baoyu to keep warm, and asked Zijuan to wait, asking him to take off his wet coat.

That Baoyu was frizzy, here Zijuan was unbuttoning, he saw the embroidery that Lin Daiyu put on the table, so he struggled to step forward and grabbed it, and said with a smile: "This red and gorgeous veil looks festively tight, isn't it embroidered for me?" ”

"Phew~ Look at your eyes!"

Lin Daiyu chirped: "What a handkerchief, that's a child's belly pocket, I specially helped Sister Rong embroider it - return it to me, don't get dirty!" ”

I heard that it was a child's belly pocket, so Baoyu put it back in a daze, and let Zijuan take off her coat, but suddenly saluted the belly pocket again, and said with words in her mouth: "Amitabha, Buddha bless Sister Rong, but you must give birth to a well-behaved daughter, don't let that 'beard eyebrow turbidity' stain Sister Feng'er's hard work." ”

"You!"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was really annoyed, although she was still young, she also knew that if she wanted to be an aunt, the most important thing was to give birth to a son.

What's more, this is still the eldest son of the Sun family!

But now Baoyu is begging the Buddha to bless Ruan Rong to give birth to a daughter, because she is afraid that the boy will defile this belly pocket......

As soon as the silver teeth were bitten, Lin Daiyu suddenly took out a pair of scissors from the dustpan, clicked, and twisted a big gap in the belly pocket!

Baoyu was startled and said in shock: "Sister, what are you doing?" How can you say that you can cut it if you cut it?! ”

Lin Daiyu ignored him, cut the belly pocket into pieces three times and divided five by two, and threw it to the ground hatefully, and her heart eased a little.

Looking back at Jia Baoyu, I saw that he still looked ignorant, obviously not knowing what was wrong with him, and then thinking about his usual love of belittling men, I am afraid that he may not be able to think so much.

So he didn't bother to pick it out with him, so he just changed the topic bluntly: "Usually there are officials at home, please don't even ask you, how can you find it so careless as soon as Second Brother Sun arrives?" ”

Jia Baoyu didn't see what she was thinking at all, and when she suddenly asked about it, she said: "I didn't go for his official clothes, what I love is his ability to break cause and effect for others!" ”

"Cause and effect?"

"Yes, it is because of the incompetence of those national thieves and ghosts that there are many more unjust ghosts in this world, Second Brother Sun found out the truth, and cut off the cause and effect of those unjust ghosts from the root, I am afraid that it is more than ten times stronger than inviting a hundred monks and Taoists!"

Saying that, Baoyu said with a light in his eyes: "If I can learn this kind of ability, I don't need any official position in the future, as long as I hear that there is a grievance, I will go to break it off with someone, and afterwards I will go to hide my body and name, wouldn't it be happy and beautiful?!" ”

Lin Daiyu listened to what he said interestingly, and couldn't help but think about it with him, but she had long forgotten about Fang Cai's mustard.

-- Dividing line --

Jia Lian opened the window of the carriage, and saw that the heavy rain was pouring down outside, and he actually changed the color of this side of the world, and couldn't help complaining: "How did Lao Feng choose the day, I'm afraid that the bride will be drenched in soup before she gets off the sedan chair, right?" ”

Because there was a period of incense on the canal, coupled with Sun Shaozong's face, he agreed to go to Feng Xinfu to support a scene, but who knew that he had caught up with such weather, and now he has already regretted his intestines.

Sun Shaozong smiled and said leisurely: "I've seen a lot of neat brides, when has the second brother seen a soup chicken-just for this scene, we have to take a look, right?" ”

Jia Lian thought about it, and pondered that although the daughter of the Confucian official was a concubine, she was known as a talented woman, and her figure and appearance were not bad, if she was wet......

The more I thought about it, the more restless I became, and I couldn't help but urge the coachman to speed up, so as not to miss the scene of the bride getting off the sedan chair.

At this moment, the speed slowed down sharply, and finally stopped in the middle of the road.

"Why did it stop?!"

Jia Lian opened the curtain with oilcloth and asked dissatisfiedly, but saw Bao Er, who was driving the car, pointing to the opposite side and screaming: "Kill...... Kill, kill, kill! ”

As soon as he heard this, Sun Shaozong was also busy looking out, but he saw that the carriage was crooked across the road, and the servant who was driving was leaning on the car, and he didn't see anything on his body, but only a head was missing!
