Jia Baoyu was deducing and fantasizing about the story in his heart, and Jia Tanchun, who was sitting next to him, naturally saw Jia Baoyu's actions, so he hurriedly asked him: "Last night, you disturbed Sister Shi's interest, and she came back to complain to me, sooner or later, there will be a banquet for a few of us, and then invite the old lady to come over to enjoy the chrysanthemums?" ”

When Jia Baoyu heard Jia Tanchun's words, she also smiled and said, "The old lady said that she would also set up a banquet for Sister Shi and ask us to accompany her." Waiting for the old lady's banquet to be finished, it's not too late for us to invite again. ”

Jia Tanchun said again: "Now these days, the further you go, the colder it gets, and the old lady may not be happy." ”

Jia Baoyu said: "The old lady likes rain and snow. Why don't we wait for the first snow, and invite the old lady to enjoy the snow? Let's sing poetry under the snow, it's more interesting. ”

Lin Daiyu hurriedly smiled: "Let's sing poetry under the snow? That's good! Let's make an appointment on a good day, and then, I invited our husband to come over, he has always been a good writer, and he is a unique person in the world, if he can make any masterpieces that will go down in history, can't we also be stained? ”

Saying that, Xue Baochai and the others all laughed.

Jia Baoyu glanced at Lin Daiyu, and then thought of Jia Yun, the "stupid worm" who chased fame and fortune, and didn't answer.

He still has that mind, and anyone who chases fame and fortune is disgusted and hated, and is unwilling to associate with these people.

Jia Baoyu treated Jia Yucun who had come to visit many times before, even Jia Yun, who was not too far from Jia Baoyu.

Xue Baochai saw that Jia Baoyu was not in the right mood, and his eyes couldn't help but show a gloomy color.

She pondered in her heart: Baoyu went on like this, how could she get it!

For a while, everyone's interest was gone, and they all dispersed.

was originally a lively story meeting, but everyone lost interest by the inexplicable fire.

Not to mention that Jia Baoyu was worried about something, he often thought about the story that Grandma Liu had told before, so he committed dementia, and after the scene was over, he was busy going to Grandma Liu to ask about the rest of the nonsense stories.

only said that after Xiangling went back today, she was also thinking about a sudden fire tonight in her heart.

Xiangling always felt that tonight's events were inexplicably strange and special, and she always felt that it was not normal.

.......

Following.

It was because of this incident that Xiangling found a few little maids in Rongguo's mansion to ask about yesterday's incident, and asked, "What was the cause of yesterday's fire?" Tell me about it. ”

Hearing Xiangling's inquiry, these maids also nodded busily and said, "We don't know much about yesterday's events, how it is, we went late, and we don't understand." However, I have heard from others that it seems that a lot of things were lost in the master's house yesterday, and I am afraid that it should have something to do with it. ”

Xiangling also squinted her eyes slightly when she heard this, and continued to ask: "Losing things, how often have you been throwing things lately?" ”

Several maids looked at each other, and also nodded and said: "I have lost a lot in the past few days, and the girl of Tanchun has not pursued it, for fear of finding the top of her family's head, she doesn't dare to use these people, so we don't know very well." ”

Xiangling immediately knew the ins and outs of this matter, and muttered in her heart: It seems that this matter should be a fire deliberately set by those people, so that these people are busy fighting the fire, so as to transfer the stolen goods out of Rongguo Mansion.

(

The stolen goods in the Rongguo Mansion naturally have no way to sell the stolen goods in the mansion.

No one dared to take the initiative to show the stolen goods they had stolen in the Rongguo Mansion to others.

Therefore, they must choose a middleman to take them out, or they deliberately create trouble and trouble, so that they can calmly get out and transfer things out.

When inspecting the Grand View Garden before, Xiangling deliberately paid attention to this matter, and Aunt Zhao's brother Zhao Guoji accompanied Jia Huan to school in the Rongguo Mansion all day long, but behind the scenes, he worked with Aunt Zhao and others to steal the things in the Rongguo Mansion and take them outside to sell.

The reason why Xiangling knew about this matter was because most of the large and small shops in the capital, especially pawnshops and money houses, were inextricably linked to their family's business.

Jia Yun also once instructed the people below, but whenever you encounter Rongguo Mansion, or someone who has something to do with Jiafu, pawn an object, or take it out to sell an object, you must pay close attention to it and tell the news from time to time.

Therefore, Xiangling not only knew about it, but also knew it very clearly.

Aunt Zhao teamed up with Caiyun and other maids to steal the things of Mrs. Wang and others, and then handed them over to Zhao Guoji, the middleman, and took them out to sell the stolen goods for cash.

A whole set of processes comes out.

And Aunt Zhao's means of winning over Caiyun is also very simple, that is, to let her son Jia Huan mess with her, promising to marry her as a little wife in the future as bait, so that Caiyun will willingly help Aunt Zhao do things.

Xiangling also knew in her heart that Aunt Zhao and the others had never been very clean.

However, after all, it was a matter in the Rongguo Mansion next to them, and if these things were put on the table, their faces would be really embarrassed.

Anyone's face is not good-looking, in case Jia's mother is angry to death, he can't find trouble with them.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiangling ordered someone to send back these maids from Rongguo Mansion.

Before leaving, he also ordered the maids in his house to give these maids silver, which was regarded as hush money and payment for inquiring about news.

After dealing with this matter, Xiangling went to Jia Yun to report the whole thing, so as not to make an embarrassment without knowing anything.

After Jia Yun learned about this, he also shook his head and said, "It seems that the chaos in Rongguo's Mansion is getting more and more chaotic. Leave them alone, we'll have to wait for the time being! ”

After that, Jia Yun looked at Xiangling and said, "You let Tanchun come over, I have something to tell her to do." ”

Recently, there has been chaos in the capital, and many people are worried about the war on the front line.

The war on the front line will largely determine the emperor's next attitude and the direction of the court.

Jia Yun had been pushed out before and advocated starting a war.

Once the war is lost, then Jia Yun will take the blame and resign and close the door!

This is also the way to protect oneself.

Retreat bravely, take a step back first, and then wait and see what happens.

If it's always a hard fight, it's really confused.

Emperor Yongtai is not stupid, he understands it very well in his heart.

It is precisely because Emperor Yongtai is not stupid that Jia Yun wants to show weakness to the enemy, so as not to show his feet.

Just like Sima Yi in the past.

You must know the truth of pretending to be dead.

Playing dead is also a science, or an unfathomable method.

Jia Yun looked at Xiangling and said, "There are not a few days of peace!" ”
