The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 220: Making Waves

Ping'er was startled by a number of insignificant movements as the day broke.

She slightly raised her body, and with the purring of the spring cat and the creaking of the bed, it became accustomed to her ears.

They were making waves again!

Ping’er secretly spat in her heart. Knowing that the movement wouldn’t last long, she hurriedly put on her clothes and mixed hot water and towels for preparation.

Sure enough, she hasn’t even packed up here, and she heard Wang Xifeng yelling and saying, "Ping’er, Ping’er! Go and fetch some water!"

"Coming!"

Ping’er agreed, hurried forward with a copper basin and towel, and opened the inner door with her hips.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Wang Xifeng hanging the curtain on the golden hook with her arm. On her delicate body, like snow satin, only a lotus-colored Shu embroidery innerwear was covered. When her shoulders were spread out, the two mandarin ducks embroidery on the top were bulging, as if something was waiting to break out.

"Ah, Second Madam, be careful not to catch a cold!"

Ping’er rushed forward to take her place. While hanging the curtain on the golden hook, she hurriedly advised, "You can either lie down first or put on your clothes quickly. Today is a cold day..."

"What are you afraid of?"

However, Wang Xifeng did not appreciate it and said with some resentment, "That's how I can put out the fire in my heart!"

She didn’t have to ask. It must be that the mood was ruined by Jia Lian halfway.

But this was what she asked for.

Since the two people officially made up after the year, she didn’t know where Wang Xifeng learned the "folk prescription". Every day, before dawn, she would show her woman’s side and have a round with Jia Lian to make sure he had no spare time to fool around with other women.

But Jia Lian's body and bones were not made of iron. At first, he was eager for freshness and pleasure, and he was able to go on for a long time. However, after that, it went from bad to worse, and now it could only be said that it was a vain job.

At the moment, listening to Wang Xifeng's complaints, Jia Lian was like a salted fish. He lay there without saying a word and wrapped his quilt again.

"Hmph!"

.

Wang Xifeng grunted bitterly. She cleaned up the mess under the service of Ping’er and dressed up again. She was asking what food was cooked in the small kitchen today when someone outside pressed her voice and asked, "Sister Ping’er, Sister Pinger, have the Second Master and the Second Madam gotten up?"

"I’m awake, if there’s anything, come in and talk."

Wang Xifeng answered, and a servant girl came in and reported, "Second Madam, Governor Sun of the Central Judicial Office is here. He wants to discuss the marriage date with our family. The Big Master didn't stay at home last night, so the Elder Madam wants to invite the Second Master to show up. It is also more convenient for her to talk with Governor Sun."

"Is Erlang of the Sun family here?!"

Hearing this, Jia Lian immediately got up from the bed, hurriedly pulled his clothes, and said, "What are you still waiting for? Hurry and help me get dressed!"

Ping’er and the little servant girl stayed ahead, but Wang Xifeng stopped them and said, "Ping’er, go to the Elder Madam and convey my words, you will say that our Second Master is sick and it is inconvenient to meet guests."

Even though Ping’er didn't understand what she meant, she still managed to lead the servant girl back out.

But Jia Lian stopped and glared. "What do you mean? The Elder Madam invited me..."

"Do you have to go every time you are invited?"

Wang Xifeng sneered, walked over, and poked a finger at Jia Lian's forehead, saying, "Don't you think about it, can the Sun family not send someone to inform in advance about such a big thing? The Elder Master is clearly hiding deliberately so that his wife can use some means. Do you want to be caught in the middle? Won’t you feel embarrassed?"

Jia Lian wondered, "What means?"

"Of course, it means to sell a daughter!"

As Wang Xifeng expected, the atmosphere in the east living room of Rongguo Mansion was indeed awkward and serious.

When Sun Shaozong heard that Jia She was not at home, he felt relieved. He thought it would be easier to talk about business without the presence of the old beast.

Unexpectedly, Madam Xing was also an ”interesting” woman. After the guests were seated, the inside and outside of her words were to treat the marriage as a business, hoping to get some benefits back from the Sun family.

The philistinism and slang in the conversation were even worse than the women, who had never seen the world in a small family.

With such a couple of parents and a brother like Jia Lian, it was no wonder that Jia Yingchun had the temperament of today.

If they talked about this woman's means of meddling and pestering, an average person would be afraid and overwhelmed, but who was Sun Shaozong?

Were there any difficulties in dealing with an old fox like Jia Yucun, who could still make friends, and a woman who could only be aggressive?

No matter how insinuating Xing-Shi was, he only put on a dumbfounded expression. He either pushes his Big Brother’s name or uses the name of Prince Zhongshun to oppress others, which makes Xing-Shi angry.

Finally, she had to bite her teeth and accept the "wedding date" post, and then she said that she couldn’t decide as she was not the Master, and she would wait until Jia She returned and gave an answer to the Sun family.

What a waste of saliva!

After coming out of the east living room of the Rongguo Mansion, Sun Shaozong made a summary of the situation but didn’t hurry to return for a reply. Instead, he took the gift box from the carriage and headed for the Lady in the west chamber.

It was going to be Lin Daiyu's 13th birthday soon. Ruan Rong was still recovering from her birth, so she could only ask Sun Shaozong to bring the birthday gift in advance.

Sun Shaozong was going to go to the two doors on the west side to find a woman and a servant girl to send the gifts in.

Who knew that just after arriving at the intersection of the two doors, behind the moonlit door on the right, a charming figure suddenly flashed out—who could it be other than Ping’er?

Sun Shaozong was delighted. Seeing that no one else was around, he stayed up to talk with her. Unexpectedly, Ping’er winked but dropped her hand and stepped aside.

When Sun Shaozong saw this, he guessed that there must be someone else behind her. He quickly changed his face and prepared to meet Wang Xifeng or Jia Lian. However, he followed Ping’er closely and came out of the moon door, but it was a small figure.

"Eh?"

When the little man saw Sun Shaozong, he was also surprised. "Teacher, why are you here?"

It turned out that this was not someone else but Jia Lan, Li Wan's only son. In a sense, this was Sun Shaozong's "cheap son."

But how could he bump into a place with Ping’er?

Cough

Sun Shaozong cleared his throat, looked like a teacher, and said, "I came to your house to do something important. What's the matter with you? How can you run around without studying in school at this time?"

"Reply to Teacher's words."

Jia Lan arched his hand solemnly and said, "The Old Lady just sent a message that the Empress in the palace gave us some lantern riddles to guess."

Ping’er smiled and added, "Suyun accidentally sprained her foot while playing with Lan’er and was bumped by me, so she asked me to give him a ride."

I see.

This Suyun was really a cranky person. Before he was ready that day, she came onto him in a hurry, and then cried out in pain later…

Spat, spat, spat~

How could he have such things on his mind in front of a child?

After suppressing his dirty thoughts, Sun Shaozong said again, "Okay, I’m going to go to the courtyard, you can just leave Lan’er to me."

"That's great."

Ping’er answered in a crisp voice and then bowed her head, saying, "I am free today, and I am going to find a ”quiet place” in the garden to have a good rest."
