The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion - Chapter 357

[Chapter 356 Breaking the fan and sighing]
Xue Pan’s birthday banquet lasted from the morning until Shen Shi [3:00 pm], and then everyone made a bird and beast dispersal.
Not to mention what happened to others, but said that Jia Baoyu was still a little unhappy when he returned home, but Qingwen came up to change clothes, and accidentally dropped the fan on the ground, breaking the jade fan bone.
Baoyu sighed casually: “Stupid, stupid! In the future, you will be the master of your own affairs. Is it possible that you are so reckless?”
Pian Qingwen also had a ‘taboo’ in her heart because she didn’t like Mrs. Wang, and when she heard this, she felt very aggrieved, so she sneered: “Earlier, even the glass jar and the agate bowl were I don’t know how much it broke, and I haven’t seen anyone angry with you, and now you’re scolding people with just a fan?!”
As he said that, he twisted the slender waist and turned his back to Baoyu: “If you dislike me, just send me away, and we can get together and leave!”
He thought that Baoyu was going to jump when he heard this—who knows after waiting for a while, but he didn’t see any words from him.
Qingwen murmured first, but when she looked back, she saw Baoyu sitting on the bed with her eyes straight, as if she had lost three souls and seven souls!
Qingwen immediately disregarded her anger, and hurriedly shook the two long nails dyed with golden hyacinth flowers in front of Baoyu’s eyes. Seeing that he still didn’t respond at all, she hurriedly shouted: “Come here, someone. , the second master seems to be insane again!”
Xiren was originally outside, so he vaguely heard some movement, but now that he heard the word ‘dementia’, he hurriedly raised the corner of his skirt and rushed over as if he were flying.
Seeing Baoyu like this, she panicked and said, “Isn’t it a long time since I was sick? How did this provoke him?!”
After saying that, he waited to check Baoyu’s condition.
Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu came back to his senses at this time, raised his arm to block the attacking hands, shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Saying that, he said to Qingwen again, “You think more clearly than I do. It’s better to get together and get away than to be bored with each other. Besides, people are not objects, so it’s not good to be confined to your side.”
When she heard him say ‘it’s all right’, Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief, but in a blink of an eye she would say such a thing again, thinking he was talking about herself, so she stomped her foot and said, “Okay, it turns out you were tired of seeing it earlier. I’ve lost my mind! If I had known this, when my wife wanted to send me to Master Sun, I shouldn’t have…”
“Qingwen!”
As soon as Xiren heard her, she even said these words, and hurriedly rushed up to cover her mouth.
But Jia Baoyu had already listened to his ears, and the little ‘apocalypse’ just came to nothing, he jumped up from the bed and said angrily, “How could there be such a thing?! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I?!”
Although Xiangyun and Baochai were close to him, they were not his personal possessions.
But Qingwen is different. As a close-fitting maid, Baoyu has long regarded her as a favorite. Even if she gets married with Lin Daiyu in the future, she may not be able to part with her. How can she endure her being watched by others? !
Seeing Baoyu’s angry expression, Xiren was afraid that he would do something on the spur of the moment. He hurriedly explained the cause and effect, and emphasized: “Master Sun rejected the wife on the spot, and said, ‘A gentleman does not take people’s favor’, It shows that he is a magnanimous gentleman, Second Master, don’t want to wrong a good man!”
After listening to Jia Baoyu’s silence, he suddenly slapped himself in the face and scolded angrily, “This heartless man can’t even trust his own savior!”
This ‘self-defeating and self-scolding’, the backside is so shocking that people can’t laugh or cry. Just as he was looking at the slap print in distress, he saw Jia Baoyu stretched out his hand to hold Qingwen, and said softly: “Good sister, you are hiding and tucking like this, Even if you don’t want to tell me clearly, how do I know about your suffering in the past?”
Qingwen is the master who eats soft and not hard, originally stubbornly sullen, when she heard this, the teardrops broke off immediately, but she still refused to accept soft words: “I asked for this by myself. , is there any misery that is not miserable? I just ask the second master not to make a mess of people for no reason, and we lowly bastards will be thankful. ”
Her mouth was saying ‘the scumbag’, but her neck was straighter than anyone else’s.
Jia Baoyu smiled self-consciously, but then his face became serious, he first pulled Qingwen to sit on the head of the bed, and then pressed Xiren to sit on the head of the bed, and then under the inexplicable eyes of the two maids, he said solemnly: ” It is said that there is no reason for the attack just now, but in fact there are some reasons.”
“Why?”
Qingwen asked in dissatisfaction: “I just accidentally threw the fan, and then I even connected the glass jar and the agate bowl…”
“Look, look, what you said is the reason!”
As Jia Baoyu spoke, he paced back and forth in front of the two of them, and suddenly heaved a sigh, and said quietly, “Do you still remember the situation when I checked my accounts last year?”
How could the two of them forget about this?
At that time, because of being implicated by their family members, they were about to be kicked out of Rongguo Mansion!
Not to mention that the once powerful Lai Da also lost his life in this turmoil.
But this is so good, why did you suddenly bring up the matter of last year’s account audit?
Xiren said cautiously: “We naturally remember that. Since then, we have specially explained it to our family. We must not dare to use the name of the second master to take advantage of our house.”
“That’s not what I’m going to say today.”
Baoyu waved his hand, then extended three fingers, and asked timidly, “Do you know how much the smashed utensils and things we have cost in the past two or three years?”
The two exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison.
Then Baoyu said in a deep voice, “You don’t know, but Da Lai remembers it clearly on the account. In the two years and five months since I lived alone, our house has completely ruined the price of 3,700 taels of silver. objects!”
“what?!”
“There are so many?!”
Although Qingwen and Xiren had guessed that the number would not be too small, they did not expect the number to be so amazing!
You must know that if the money was saved for some flowers, it would be enough for a hundred families to chew on for two and a half years!
Such a large sum of money was wasted in confusion, and in exchange it was only a few sighs, a few fluttering ‘careless’, ‘not paying attention’…
After a long while, Xirenfang let out a long sigh, and said in a trembling voice, “It’s all my fault, it’s just a plaything, and I usually don’t pay attention to warnings, how could I have created such a big karma… ”
“Do not!”
Qingwen clenched her teeth, bent her knees and knelt on the ground, raised her neck and said, “I count my favorite things in the past days, and if the second master wants to punish me, punish me! Only by punishing me heavily, can I let the following Those monkey spirits also have a long memory!”
When Xiren saw this, he wanted to kneel down and talk, but Jia Baoyu pulled him up one by one, shook his head and laughed: “Look at you, I didn’t say this to turn over old accounts, but to make the big guy be careful, Mo I’m going to mess with things again – after all, the mansion is only prosperous now, and secretly owes a lot of famine.”
After a pause, he said decisively: “This money, others are not going to pay it back, but I will definitely pay it back in the future!”
Seeing that Qingwen was still blaming himself, he curled his lips again and said, “Besides, what you have abused can still be a fraction of mine? If you are severely punished, will I still be alive?”
Qingwen just stopped her words.
The three looked at each other and felt closer to each other.
Especially Xiren, I always hoped that Baoyu would make progress, but now that he has said these words, I feel uneasy in my heart – if Qingwen was not there, I would have to pull it. Baoyu went to bed and put on a lot of tricks that he would normally refuse to wrap up for him.
“what?”
At this moment, Qiu Wen suddenly came in from the outside and asked curiously, “How did you guys get this?”
“No way.”
Only then did the three let go of each other, and asked in unison: “It’s you, who came in in a hurry, is there something wrong?”
“Yeah~ I almost forgot about the business!”
Qiu Wen patted his forehead and said anxiously: “Miss Shi is here, and she is talking to the old lady now – the old lady knew that you hadn’t seen you for a long time, so she specially sent someone to call the second master over!”
“Sister Shi is here?!”
Hearing this, Jia Baoyu was overjoyed, and immediately went out of the room excitedly, but after running a few steps, he suddenly became entangled again – the matter of the ‘unicorn’, should I mention it to Shi Xiangyun?
