But he said that Baochai hid behind the screen and listened to Sun Shaozong talking eloquently. He actually understood his own thoughts better than his own brother who had been with him for more than ten years. When the flesh and blood relationship is hurt, I feel even more mixed feelings.

Later, seeing that Xue Pan had been persuaded, the master and servant quietly returned to the West Wing boudoir.

When Ying'er saw Baochai beside the low couch, she was stunned for a long time, and she never thought of taking a seat. The hibiscus pink cheeks were also happy and sad, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she dared to try: "Girl, Unexpectedly, this Sun Tongjuan understands your mind better than the uncle."

These words hit Xue Baochai's heart at once, and she saw that she first bit her red lips lightly, then shook her head slightly, and sighed in her mouth: "Although she is a good person, it is a pity that she is not a good match."

"how come?!"

Ying'er's eyes widened in doubt, but she couldn't care less about her superiority and inferiority, and said in a row: "In terms of family background, ability, future, and people, Sun Tongju is a first-class standout. , even the second master treasure in this mansion... is only slightly more literary than him, how can he not be considered a good match?!"

She was in a hurry for a moment, but she almost devalued Baoyu. Fortunately, she woke up in time and changed her words in a hurry.

Seeing Ying'er's anxious look, Baochai smiled unwittingly, reached out and poked the tip of her nose, teasing: "Look at your anxious look, do you have a crush on that Master Sun? Do you want me to tell my brother at night? Let him send you to Master Sun's house to be a concubine?"

"Girl what are you talking about!"

Ying'er hurriedly knelt down and argued in a hurry: "The slave servant has followed the girl since she was a child. Wherever the girl goes, the slave servant will go, how can she abandon the girl to depend on others?!"

"Get up, get up, it's just a joke, where is it serious?"

Baochai said, and pulled Ying'er up from the ground, but couldn't help sighing: "I said that Master Sun is not a good match, but it is because of the beautiful concubine in his family - 'I fell in love at first sight and accompanied me for thousands of miles. 'The friendship is not something that can be covered by the status of a full-fledged wife. In the future, no matter who becomes the master of Lord Sun's mansion, I am afraid that there will be some battles between the dragons and the tigers."

Just now, behind the screen, Baochai did have a little love, but she is not Ruan Rong after all, and she will not be reckless with a moment of love - on the contrary, just this moment of effort, she has already suppressed that trace of love. to the bottom of my heart.

-Dividing line-

Not to mention how everyone in Yi Ran Xuan is.

However, Li Wan said that this afternoon, Li Wan sent the "Sangha Sutra" transcribed by Jia Mu to the west wing, and accompanied the old lady to gossip. Seeing that Jia Mu was faintly tired, she took the initiative to leave.

Passing through the passage between the two gates, seeing that it was not far from Wang Xifeng's yard, Li Wan was hesitating whether to go in and say hello, when he suddenly swept across the flowerbed to the left of the gate, Yingyingchuochuo seemed to be lying with a book.

Although the printing technology of the Great Zhou Dynasty has become quite popular, the book is just out of the category of luxury goods, and it is still far from cheap.

Besides, Li Wan was born in a family of poetry, books, farming and reading, and he was a book lover, so he hurriedly asked Suyun to pick it up, and then came over to take a closer look, but only saw the "Odd Case Tan" written on the sapphire blue cover. Three words.

She didn't know that it was dropped when Sun Shaozong and Xue and Feng were pulling together. She just thought it was Baoyu who accidentally dropped it. After all, Baoyu was the only one in this mansion who liked to buy such books.

Originally, he was thinking about having someone send this book directly to Baoyu's room, but he accidentally opened it, but his face was flushed with shame, and he changed his mind immediately.

Now Baoyu should still be in the 'Yanwu Hall', and her widowed sister-in-law sent these silver and evil things to his room.

When he was about to throw the book back into the flower bed, Mrs. Wang's maid Jin Chuan came towards him. Li Wan had no choice but to put it in his sleeves first, pretending to be nothing, and chatting a few words with Jin Chuan'er. He hurried back to his yard.

After Ben waited to go back, he immediately found a way to destroy it, but when he got inside the house, he saw his precious son Jia Lan was reading a book of "Thousand Characters".

But she still cares about it

She stepped forward and said with concern, "Laner, why did you come back so early today?"

"mother."

Jia Lan put the book in his hand, pulled Li Wan to sit side by side on the couch, and then said, "Teacher Sun has an emergency, so he ordered us to leave early—by the way, today's teacher drank the sour plum soup sent by my mother, He also specifically told me that after I started practicing boxing, I should do aerobics at most once a day, so as not to hurt my body."

As he spoke, he hugged Li Wan's arm and said coquettishly, "Mother, will you practice boxing with me in the future?"

Li Wan listened with a smile and was about to coax him a few words, but she heard Jialan say "Huh" and groped on Li Wan's sleeves and asked, "Mother, what are you hiding in your sleeves? It feels tough to the touch."

Oops!

Only then did Li Wan remembered the "Tales of Strange Cases" in his sleeve, he hurriedly pulled out his arm and forced a smile: "It's nothing, it's a Buddhist scripture that you brought back from your grandmother, if you don't say it, I'll forget it, treat me Go and put it away and come back to talk to you."

With that said, he hurried to the inside.

Who would have thought that as soon as he took a step, he heard Jia Lan say from behind: "Teacher Sun also brought back a sleeve of books, all of which were bought by Uncle Bao. What calamity is summoned—mother, how could this investigation story still summon calamity?”

Why can words bring disaster

Originally, Li Wan didn't know it, but when he thought of the 'real things' with pictures and texts in his sleeves, he naturally understood.

I can't help but secretly rejoice that I didn't rashly send it to Baoyu, otherwise, the middle of the hand, even jumping into the Yellow River, would not be clear.

only…

She entered the room and took out the book of "The Story of Strange Cases", but a whimsical thought popped up in her mind: they all said that Sun Erlang could figure it out, could it be that he specially left this book somewhere? , just waiting for you to pass by...

Together, these thoughts seem to have taken root in my heart, and they can't go away no matter what.

The thought of destroying the book was thrown into the clouds without knowing it.

That night.

Li Wan hesitated for a long time while mulling over the words, and finally opened the cover tremblingly and read the embroidered image word by word.

No one knows what she has seen and what she has done in the dark.

It was only the next morning that the eldest maid, Suyun, took out the two quilts inside and outside, and washed them several times.
