The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 87 The Ripples Before the Storm [Middle]

[4900, two in one]

"Let me speak?"

In the corner of Lixiangyuan, Xiangling was originally carrying a small dustpan, gathering the freshly dried petals of various colors. After hearing Ying'er's request, her eyes widened in shock for a while, and her palm-sized face was full of daze.

For a moment, Ying'er was almost deceived by her 'acting skills' and began to wonder if she had made a mistake.

However, the dazed look on Xiangling's face quickly turned into a tangle, and after she hesitated a few times, she nodded and replied, "Then you put away these petals for me, and I'll help you think of something."

Saying that, she stuffed the dustpan into Ying'er and hurried out of the courtyard with a bitter face.

This time it's a real hammer!

Xiang Ling's actions are equivalent to admitting that she has an affair with Laishun, otherwise how could she accept this request without saying a word?
Thinking like this, Ying'er randomly collected the petals, and then hurriedly went to Xue Baochai to report the latest development of the situation.

But Baochai heard the cause and effect, and he believed it ten percent in his heart, and then he brought up all kinds of melancholy.

Since Zhou Rui and his wife went south to Guangdong and Guangxi, the status of Laijia has risen, not only consolidating the basics of Wang Xifeng's side, but also taking over a lot of Mrs. Wang's dispatches.

The Xue family is more reliant on Laiwang.

And that Laiwang is also doing his best and abide by his duty. He never reaches out his hand for what should be taken and should not be taken.

So much so that when Aunt Xue discussed in private, she often regretted not being able to bring the Wang couple to marry into the Xue family.

Recently, due to Laishun's proper management, the business of the tire shop was booming as soon as it opened, and Aunt Xue even complimented Lai's father and son.

Originally, by virtue of the old affection and the new enthusiasm, the two sides should be inseparable.

The elder brother Mingli has been embarrassed repeatedly, and secretly there is a layer of entanglement like Xiangling, which is constantly cutting and chaotic!
Once something is really going to happen, it's okay to turn against Lai's family. If this makes Sister Feng and Auntie in a dilemma, wouldn't it just ruin the relationship between relatives?
Thinking of this, Baochai even had the idea of ​​persuading her mother to move out of Rongguo Mansion.

But as soon as Baochai showed some words, Ying'er became anxious first.

She just got on the bridge with Xiren and Qingwen, and she is about to help. If the Xue family moved out of the Rongguo Mansion at this time, wouldn't all her hard work be in vain?
And how can you easily give up the golden and jade good fortune bestowed on that day?

Now desperately looking for reasons to dissuade.

"Girls, think about it again."

He heard Ying'er pointing straight: "If we move out from Rongguo Mansion, there are only two places to go, one is the uncle's mansion, and the other is our family's old house in the capital."

"But now that the uncle is not in the capital, how can this aunt and sister-in-law get along with each other as easily and casually as sisters?"

"As for the old house of our family, it has been abandoned for a long time. Where can it be repaired in a short time? And the dozen or so Ding Zhuang brought to the capital by our family are not enough to keep a vigil, in case a thief breaks in. How about going in?"

Why don't you know these drawbacks Baochai?
Even Ying'er's unspoken thoughts were clear to her.

Sighing slightly, Baochai twisted the fan and said, "If you say so, I'm afraid I can only report the matter of Xiangling to my wife."

"This……"

Ying'er was stunned when she heard the words, but did not understand the connection.

She hesitantly persuaded: "That girl is wrong in every possible way, after all, after all... Besides, I just asked her for help, how could I turn around and sell her?"

"As the saying goes, Dangduan will continue to suffer from its chaos."

Xue Baochai turned the fan with Jiutian Xuannv embroidered over and slapped it in the palm of his hand, and said sternly, "If we didn't try our best to hide it earlier, how could my wife let my brother go to the shop to provoke Laishun? Now we have to hide it. , I'm afraid I don't know what disaster will happen again!"

As she spoke, she slightly slowed down her tone and comforted Ying'er: "You relax your heart, it's not that you don't know your wife's temper, she's the most soft-hearted one."

As she said that, she couldn't help but sigh again, thinking that if her brother insisted on accepting Xiangling as the housekeeper and promised that girl to come along, wouldn't it be a good marriage with the best of both worlds?

It is impossible to say that his own business will be helped by him in the future.

Unfortunately……

But she said that her master and servant found in the east room of the main room, and Aunt Xue was lying on the couch, with several maids taking turns to fan the air.

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the weather is still sultry and unbearable, but Aunt Xue is the most unbearable, and has always refused to use the ice basin to relieve the heat, so she only wrapped a water blue tube top skirt and covered a light yellow The transparent veil reveals a large area of ​​shiny and greasy skin.

Seeing that Baochai was coming, Aunt Xue raised an arm like a lotus root and beckoned: "My son, you have been suffering for the past few days, come and take a break here."

Baochai went around to the side and took the fan from the little maid.

Ying'er quietly made a gesture from behind, and the little maids all withdrew.

Aunt Xue didn't realize it, but she still felt sorry for her daughter: "It's said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, but your aunt and cousin will support you outside, so you don't need to work so hard."

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll take it."

Baochai said, put half of her body on the couch, and said softly, "Daughter, come here, I want to tell you something important."

While speaking, Ying'er had already locked the door.

Aunt Xue realized it later, so she hurriedly sat upright with her pampered body, took Baochai with her white and smooth arm, and kept asking, "My son, did you encounter some difficulty? Could it be the few outsiders? The lady in charge is..."

"mom!"

Seeing that she was thinking about it for a while, Baochai quickly said straight to the point: "I'm looking for you today to talk about Xiangling?"

"What about Xiangling?"

Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Why, are you finally willing to give her to your brother?"

"That's not it."

In order to prevent her mother from continuing to interrupt, Baochai told about Xiangling and Laishun in a few words, and said, "Today, Ying'er tried her again, but I'm afraid it's ten percent."

"There's still such a thing?!"

Aunt Xue was also surprised, and immediately asked, "Has she ever been damaged by Laishun?"

"This……"

Baochai blushed immediately, and glanced at Ying'er secretly, and then she said coquettishly: "What did my mother say, did she have... how can my daughter know?"

Only then did Aunt Xue realize something was wrong, she patted her daughter on the back, and said embarrassingly, "I'm confused, I'm confused."

After a pause, she said again: "But this matter must still be clarified, and I'll check it out at night, if Xiangling is still perfect, naturally it's better - you restrain her for a few days, wait During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will make the decision and promise her to your brother!"

"If there was ever a slap in the face..."

Having said that, Aunt Xue said with a bitter face: "I don't know how to explain to your brother."

After a pause, she shook her head firmly: "It shouldn't be like this. Xiang Ling is a well-behaved and sensible child, so if there is any personal relationship, it will not be messed up."

When Baochai heard this, he subconsciously opened his mouth, but after all, he did not express his thoughts.

If relying on her, Ruo Xiangling and Laishun have already become husband and wife, so it is better to fulfill the two of them, so that Laiwang and his son can get closer to their own family.

only……

In terms of power now, the Lai family has already surpassed many relatives of the Jia family, but in name, it is still a servant.

The mother may go against her brother's thoughts for the sake of the face of the 'poor relatives', but she can be replaced by a splendid slave like Laijia, but she may not be able to pull down her face and be ruthless.

…………

Go back and talk about Xiangling.

Although she went out of Lixiangyuan in a hurry, she still couldn't figure out why Ying'er thought she could talk to Laishun.

In fact, she originally wanted to ask what happened, but she was afraid that Shunhe Siqi would be involved.

You have to know that Ying'er used to say things every few times, but she managed to keep this secret with great difficulty.

Therefore, after hesitating to speak several times, he could only answer in a confused manner, and bite the bullet to find Si Qi for help.

However, when Xiangling arrived at Jia Yingchun's courtyard, she happened to meet Xiuju with two little maids who were arranging lanterns for the festival in the courtyard.

So she asked Xiuju where Si Qi was, and went to the west wing.

Unexpectedly, he pushed the door and went in, only to find that in addition to Si Qi, there was a woman with a big belly in the room.

And the woman was holding Si Qi's arm and was putting a gold bracelet on Si Qi's wrist.

Although Si Qi was struggling to push and refuse, he seemed to be afraid of hurting the fetus in the woman's belly, so he had no strength in his hands, and he looked like he wanted to refuse and greet him.

Seeing Xiangling suddenly come in, the two of them stayed for a while, and then Si Qi hurriedly covered the bracelet with his sleeves, and then scolded with a blushing face: "You little hoof, why did you break in without knocking on the door? !"

Xiangling also knew that she was rash, and was speechless.

Although she usually has a gentle and quiet temperament, once she devotes herself to something, she will stand up regardless of others.

This is also one of the reasons why Baochai often says that she is 'Daixiangling'.

At this time, Mrs Yang got up and said with a smile: "This girl is looking for you, maybe there is something in a hurry-you talk about you, I just happened to go outside for the convenience."

Si Qi also got up and took her to the door, and shouted for a little maid to accompany Yang to the toilet, so as not to bump into it.

When the little maid in the courtyard responded and ran forward to support Yang's, Si Qi returned to the house again.

"Tell me, what are you running here for?!"

She glared at Xiang Ling angrily, went back to the couch, and patted the opposite side of the kang table, motioning for Xiang Ling to sit down and talk.

Xiang Ling stood still, staring at her wrist with a curious look on her face.

Si Qi glared at her again and asked, "What kind of monster are you doing?"

"That bracelet..."

Xiangling laughed and said, "Could it be that Brother Laishun sent it to you?"

"What nonsense!"

Si Qi tried his best to deny it, but he couldn't help touching the bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand.

However, this scene was equivalent to not taking the initiative. Xiang Ling covered her cherry and laughed out her crescent eyes.

"Said he didn't send it!"

Si Qi was annoyed by her smile, got up and stomped his feet and said, "Are you here to anger me? If you want to mention that thief killing talent again, I will drive people out - tell me, what the hell are you looking for me? thing!"

Xiang Ling remembered the business, and then smiled, but just as she opened her mouth to say something, she remembered Si Qi's threat, so she hurriedly closed her mouth again, puffing her cheeks in embarrassment.

Seeing this little girl's hamster-like appearance, Si Qi couldn't help but burst out laughing, stepped forward and pinched her face that looked like a jelly, and urged: "Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it. , don't pretend to be pitiful here."

Xiang Ling probed cautiously: "Then I have to say something about him?"

Seeing that Si Qi had no objection, she then asked Qingwen to entrust Ying'er, Ying'er to herself, and herself to Si Qi again, like a tongue twister.

Si Qi was almost confused by her. After thinking about it for a while, he finally understood. He couldn't help but sneer and sneer, "I know that the shop is in charge of the thief's murder, but it's also because she has the goodwill to trust people around!"

It was only at this moment that Xiangling suddenly remembered the grievances between the two, so she opened her mouth in embarrassment, not knowing how to deal with it for a while.

"Giggle..."

Si Qi was amused by her again, he tucked a grape into her mouth and said, "Don't worry, it's not difficult, I'll just do it for you."

Xiangling has kept secrets strictly for the past six months, and she is kind enough to match her with Laishun—although she doesn't want to be involved with that arrogant thief, she still wants to honor Xiangling's love.

As for the so-called grievances...

That day, Qingwen was really deflated, and she didn't lose anything, so she wouldn't be as obsessed as Qingwen.

Xiang Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him several times, but brought the topic back to the bracelet.

Because of her nonsense and nonsense with three questions and five guesses, in the end, she still made Si Qi angry, and directly threw this stupid girl out of the courtyard.

When I turned back to the West Wing, I saw that my aunt, Mrs. Yang, had already sat on the couch.

Si Qi hurriedly stroked his sleeves to take off the gold bracelet and throw it to her.

"If you want to push and shove again, I'm afraid that the fetal gas must be moved."

Yang shi stopped her movements with a word, and smiled again: "He said that this is to thank you for your secret warning at the beginning, since it is a thank you, you don't owe him anything, so what can you get if you take it? "

Siqi looked down at the bracelet, weighed it again with his right hand, frowned and said, "This weight, the carver, and the beads on it, I'm afraid it won't be worth two or thirty taels of silver, right?"

"The mansion has been staring at the shop lately. How could he be so generous, saying that he is always in charge of the shop, but after all, it's 'the lamp grass supports the beam of the house—it can't be the master (column)', if that's why people hold it Weakness, but how is it good?!"

"Look, look!"

Yang Shi patted the table lightly and giggled, "I just told the truth just now, but now I'm worrying about him again."

"Who cares for him?!"

Si Qi stomped his feet again and again and said angrily, "I-I'm afraid of being implicated by this loot!"

Seeing her unreasonable expression, Yang couldn't help laughing, and then comforted Siqi with his hands on his stomach: "Don't worry, the shop's business is so good, the mansion can't let him work for nothing. Just the old lady and the second wife are rewarding 200 taels of silver, not to mention that the Xue family and the Wang family also have their benefits, this thing must be checked!"

Only then did Si Qi secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

But I heard Yang say again: "I'm not running errands for him for nothing this time, he also promised to bribe me with a long-life lock, and then he will say that you gave it, remember not to leak things. , otherwise I won't help you hide it!"

Siqi only regarded it as a 'small gadget', so he didn't care too much, he casually responded to this matter, and told Yang Shi about Xiangling's request.

When Mr. Yang heard that they were circling and circling, he only felt confused for a while, and he was too lazy to think about it.

In the evening, after finding a secluded place to meet according to the agreement, he relayed the matter to Laishun as is.

Laishun felt the connection between the blood vessels across his belly, but was also inexplicably tight.

Qingwen asked to invite Xue's house, and she was barely able to talk. What's the reason for Ying'er, who is going around in circles, to ask Siqi to contact her?
I really don't understand the brain circuits of these people.

However, for such trivial matters, after reporting the account to Wang Xifeng tomorrow, it would be enough to mention it to Da Lai by the way, and it would not take much effort.

His attention was mainly still in Yang's belly - the first bloodline in his life, and he didn't know if it was a son or a daughter.

But by the time this child is born, he should have already succeeded in becoming a nobleman, right?

…………

That night.

It was already quiet at night in Lixiang Courtyard, but a stumbled figure suddenly appeared in the main room.

She was disheveled and hugged a blanket, and she tiptoed to the west wing as if she was a cat, and tapped the door a few times with her finger.

Inside, Ying'er didn't sleep at all, so she got up and asked pretendingly, "Who, is there something wrong so late?"

"Yes, it's me."

I heard a timid voice outside: "Ying'er, open the door and let me in."

"Xiangling?"

Ying'er was still pretending: "Didn't my wife ask you to accompany you to talk? Why..."

As she spoke, she opened the door.

Before letting the door open, Xiangling slipped in and rushed into the bedroom without a word.

When Ying'er chased in, she took the quilt and wrapped herself into a zongzi.

Ying'er couldn't help but be surprised when she saw this, thinking to herself what method the wife used to verify it, and why...

at the same time.

Baochai also dressed neatly and walked out of the east wing, found her mother's room and asked quietly for the result.

"I'll just say she's measured!"

Aunt Xue said with a happy face: "You can spend a few days in jail. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, choose a date and ask your brother to accept her as a concubine."

Baochai first breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, then sighed again after a while.

　In the last chapter, Zhang Guan Li wore it, which reversed the allusions of 'Bihen bathing, Sheyue combing hair'.

　　However, Bihen didn't have many roles, so she simply disappeared after 31 episodes, so she might as well pass her role to Musk Moon.

　　Another: The metaphor of 'Sheyue combing her hair' comes from twenty times, Baoyu combs Sheyue's hair, but Qingwen breaks it.

　　Qingwen's original words are as follows: "Oh, I haven't eaten the cup yet, and it's poured over... You are protecting it again. I know all of your tricks."

　　Thanks to book friends: 8768767, tail number 3657, wild camel, I call it, Fuli to manage the country, Emperor Shenwu of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Dante the Flying—for the reward.
