The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 375 - The Ouxiang Pavilion Independent Poetry Society

On the fifteenth day, all the Brothers in Rongguo Mansion went to Wangjiang Tower to have fun, while the girls stayed at home.

Just after eight o'clock, the beauties from various courtyards gathered in the ”Ouxiang Pavilion.”

The Ouxiang Pavilion was covered by the pond, with windows on all sides, winding corridors on the left and right for communication, and also crossing the water to connect with the shore. Behind it, was a bamboo bridge to connect, which was the coolest normally. Therefore, since entering the summer heat, it has become the gathering place for everyone.

Li Wan, the initiator of the rally, saw that Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, and other sisters had arrived, but Xue Baochai was nowhere to be seen. She pinched her slender waist and pretended to be angry with Shi Xiangyun. "You little girl, what about the person I asked you to invite? How can you let this situation occur?"

Shi Xiangyun was making a scene with Tanchun. Upon hearing this, she quickly raised her hand and made a gesture of surrender. However, she said, "My good sister-in-law, you can't blame me for this. Sister Bao is plump and timid. When I went to call her, she happened to be taking a shower, so she told me that she would arrive later; it's almost time for her to arrive.”

During the conversation, Xichun suddenly pointed out of the window and said, "Sister-in-law look, isn't Sister Bao here?”

Everyone was busy looking out of the window when they saw Xue Baochai in a thin gauze skirt with goose yellow sleeves and a celadon oil paper umbrella on her shoulder. She was curling up and down from the bamboo bridge, and her figure swayed as if she were startled by a swan, or as if she were following the wind with a willow. Her eyebrows were elegant and dignified, without any hint of coyness.

Watching her stunning appearance, the girls suddenly became a bit immersed in her beauty.

It wasn't until Xue Baochai approached that Li Wan reacted and quickly welcomed her in. She grabbed her white jade-like wrist and chuckled, "You are supposed to be punished for coming a little late, but seeing your ”lovely” appearance, I shall waive your punishment.”

The girls also laughed in the back. Xue Baochai came in and greeted. She apologized, "I'm afraid of the heat, but I didn't want to delay the interest of the sisters."

“You didn’t delay, no worries.”

Shi Xiangyun was very friendly with her. She immediately took her by the arm and sat down on her bamboo bed. "Why did sister-in-law call us here for?"

Xichun was also curious and asked, "Yes, what is the reason you called us here?”

“Hmm…”

Li Wan extended her hand to Tanchun and said, "I'm afraid it would be more suitable for Third Sister to say it herself.”

“Actually, it's nothing.”

Jia Tanchun stood up and said crudely, "My son suddenly came up with an idea. We sisters also happen to have some knowledge of literature and ink. Why not start a poetry club in the Grand View Garden and spread a story of the ages in the future?"

This deep boudoir courtyard didn’t have much leisure to talk about normally, so the girls immediately became interested and demanded to join the club, all talking at once.

Shi Xiangyun especially rushed up and hugged Tanchun's slender waist, saying that if she wouldn't allow herself to join the club, she refused to let go.

Seeing the sisters laughing and making a mess, Xue Baochai couldn't help sighing that others might not see anything, but she knew that the poetry club was started not only for interest but also to take the opportunity to close the relationship with the sisters, to reverse the recent dilemma.

“Not good, not good; it’s really not a good idea.”

At this moment, Lin Daiyu shook her head and said, "This idea is really...”

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and Tanchun said awkwardly, "Isn't poetry your favorite normally, Sister Lin? Why do you...”

“I mean, this idea is fantastic.”

Lin Daiyu chuckled and said, "It's just that the times have changed. If we secretly start a poetry club and your Second Brother hears that he doesn't have his share, they might demolish our poetry club.”

Upon hearing this, Tanchun breathed a sigh of relief and reluctantly hugged Lin Daiyu's arm, saying coquettishly, "My good sister, don't scare me. How dare I not know the personality of My Second Brother? It was only when I asked sister-in-law to send the post this morning that I realized that my Second Brother had gone out.”

“Let's discuss it now, and it's not too late to officially start the club when he comes back.”

Lin Daiyu was about to say something more when she heard a woman outside shouting, "Not good, something big is happening! Second Master has been beaten at Wangjiang Tower!”

The women in the hall were immediately in an uproar, and their heads rushed out, asking who had beaten Jia Baoyu and how badly he had been injured.

The woman's head was about to explode when she was being questioned with all sorts of questions, and she quickly exclaimed, "Don't misunderstand me. It's not the Second Master Bao who got beaten, but Second Master Lian and the Big Master Zhen from the East Mansion

All the women breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but Jia Lian and Jia Zhen were relatives, and they didn't seem to be favoring each other. They quickly began to ask, after all.

But the woman only heard some rumors; how did she know what exactly?

After being closely questioned, she said, "I only heard that it's related to the Second Master Sun from the Central Judicial Office, and I don't know about anyone else.”

It was related to Sun Shaozong?

Now Li Wan immediately raised her heart to her throat again, unable to even ask questions. She was in a hurry, but she heard Shi Xiangyun whispering to her side, "I heard that because of the matter that the second sister-in-law was acting crazy that day, her body was accidentally looked at by Lord Sun. Brother Lian was very angry. Could it be because of this, he had a conflict with Lord Sun?”

Shi Xiangyun, an outsider, has heard some rumors before, but how could Li Wan not know about it?

Therefore, her heart became increasingly anxious, fearing that Sun Shaozong would turn against Rongguo Mansion and that she might never have the opportunity to see him again.

So Li Wan bit her silver teeth and simply ran forward to the courtyard, saying, "I'll go see how Lan’er is doing.”

At the same time…

Wang Xifeng was also leading her nannies and maid, rushing to the front yard in a lively manner. However, unlike Li Wan, she was not only anxious but also had a hint of secretly liking Jia Lian's jealousy. He even started fighting with Sun Shaozong, which proved that he still deeply loved her in his heart.

If she had known he cared so much about this matter earlier, she should have followed him a few days ago, and she wouldn't have…

Seeing that it was not far from Jia's mother's yard, Wang Xifeng walked a little faster, and she had already thought of countless tender words to comfort Jia Lian's injured body and mind.

At this moment, she heard two women debating outside the courtyard, "I don't know what that Second Sister You looks like, who caused our Second Master Lian to be so indifferent. For this shameful hoof, not only did he have to go and find Lord Sun desperately, but he even dared to beat those servants of Prince Zhongshun.”

“You don't know that, do you? I heard that when Big Master Zhen of the East Mansion celebrated his birthday, Second Master Lian glanced at that Second Lady You and didn't pay attention to Second Madam for several days after returning.”

Upon hearing the words, Wang Xifeng paused, and her soft fingertips turned into a hundred rounds of steel!
