The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Sun Shaozong and Xue Pan were in the shade, holding the iced plum juice they had brought home, complaining about the hot weather coming ahead of time, when they saw Taoist Zhang coming out with a big tray and beckoning the young Taoists to pass it on.

Xue Pan couldn't help being curious, so he left the plum juice aside to join in the fun. After looking at it for a while, he was disappointed again. He turned back and complained to Sun Shaozong, "What a wonderful treasure! I thought it was to show off the psychic jade of Brother Bao!"

That jade, Sun Shaozong has also played with it several times, and apart from the halo he was born with, there was nothing unusual about it.

Therefore, after listening to Xue Pan's explanation, he was too lazy to join the fun. Read Web s Online Free - Fire Fire -

Unexpectedly, he didn't join in the fun. But Taoist Zhang circled to let his disciples and grandchildren watch, but he cstraight over to him.

“I heard that Lord Sun has just given birth to a young master recently. You might as well choose a few samples to make a plaything for the child first, which can be considered as my offering of others to you.”

Xue Pan chuckled as he listened, covering his stomach and saying, "You Old Taoist with an ox nose, what you say about offering other people gifts is really fresh and tight.”

Sun Shaozong looked down at the objects in the tray as he saw that the affection was difficult to resist. He saw that there were also gold ornaments and jade rings inside, swith blessing words. They were all made of pearls and jewels, jade carvings, and gold carvings, totaling as many as thirty to fifty pieces.

He also couldn't choose carefully, so he casually picked up two golden ones and joked, "Since you have said so, I have to choose two affordable ones.”

Taoist Zhang saw that Sun Shaozong had only selected two items, and he advised him to take a few more. However, Sun Shaozong refused to take any more, and the Old Taoist had no choice but to hold onto them all at once.

At this time, there was a message coming from inside, saying that the female members had already arrived upstairs, waiting for the Master and Brothers to arrive, and then drawing lots in front of the shrine to start the play.

To be honest, Sun Shaozong was also puzzled. Why did this praying ceremony still required singing in the Taoist temple for three days?

Wasn’t Taoism most fond of being quiet and doing nothing?

As Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, and others entered, they saw the front of the stage spread out like a fan, and everyone else had their places to go. Sun Shaozong and Xue Pan, on the other hand, accompanied Jia Zhen and Jia Lian to the main seat.

Today, for sreason, Jia Lian's expression always seemed a bit strange. Xue Pan inquired curiously, but he hesitated and refused to express himself as if he were hiding something unseemly.

In addition to the mat in front of the stage, there were two small buildings in each building, which were inclined at an angle of 45 degrees to the stage, and there was only a corridor about ten feet wide in the middle.

At this moment, a group of beauties upstairs were laughing and making a scene, especially the actors raised by the Jia and Sun families. Although they were joking, they actually had a lot to compare with each other.

One side was chosen by the government, and Jiang Yuhan personally trained the other. Both of them were dissatisfied and resentful, but before they could sing on the stage, the upstairs audience began to fight their voices.

Finally, Wang Xifeng and Ruan Rong reprimanded each of them, which was enough to make them calm down.

At this moment, Jia Zhen stepped forward, burned incense, prayed in front of the incense table, and then drew lots to create the three plays of the opera to be sung today.

Jia Zhen, who always kept his energy elsewhere, didn't see anything wrong, but Sun Shaozong next to him saw it, he didn't think it was a good omen. Both the Rong-Ning Mansions started with military achievements and were now quite influential in the court. They were the first two plays, but this third one...

Men were atheists. How could they believe in any omens?

Moreover, even if the Jia family had a stirrup, it wouldn't involve the Sun family.

Thinking like this, Sun Shaozong put this idea away.

It was said that Jia Zhen had sent up the playfold, and soon after, he saw Baoyu following him down, holding many gold and jade ornaments in his hand. They were the ones that Taoist Zhang had previously sent in.

“Brother Sun.”

Baoyu approached and spread out those things on the table, pretending to be haughty with a smile, saying, "I can't use many of these things myself. Why don't I just add them to my little nephew's toys and share them with him?”

He had just heard from Taoist Zhang that he had given two items to Sun Shaozong first, and then he thought he had been sick the last time. Thanks to Sun Shaozong's intervention, he saved his life. Although these things were not worth much at the moment, by giving half of them to his nephew, he could treat them as a token of his heartfelt feelings.

These were all things that the Taoists used to please him. Sun Shaozong chose two things in advance, but he just couldn't be greedy. Now, how would he still want these things again?

So he presented the two gold objects to Jia Baoyu and said, "These two things are destined for me, but I can't seem to like anything else. Besides, this is also someone else's good intentions. You might as well keep them for yourself.”

Baoyu persuaded him with a few words. Seeing that Sun Shaozong was determined not to accept it, he had to return to the second floor to accompany his mother and sisters to the theater.

“What's up?”

Lin Daiyu sneered as she saw him bring that thing back. "You haven't been able to scatter these treasures? Are you still planning to keep it for yourself and make a dowry for any ladies in the future?”

Jia Baoyu knew that she was annoyed by Taoist Zhang's matchmaking statement, but he had suffered a disaster. He didn't dare to refute anything but smiled, changed the topic aside, and said, "Second Brother Sun said that only those two things were related to him, but he doesn’t seem to like the others.”

Seeing that Lin Daiyu still had a pretty black face, he joked again, "Second Brother Sun chose a golden and emerald Kylin, which looks great.”

“A Kylin adorned with emerald gold?”

Next to her, Xue Baochai suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Shi also seems to have a golden and emerald spotted unicorn. It is said that it was left by her mother, but I don't know if it looks like that of Lord Sun.”

Upon hearing this, Baoyu immediately becinterested and said strangely, "She lives in our house every three to five days. How cI have never seen her before?”

Next to her, Tanchun smiled and said, "Sister Bao has a heart; she remembers everything.”

Lin Daiyu beside her was in a state of anger and also regarded Xue Baochai as her top rival. "She is limited in other aspects, only paying the most attention to what others bring.”

This was a stark mockery.

Fortunately, Xue Baochai was a tolerant person who didn't hear her and didn't argue with her, disrupting the harmony.

But after Baoyu heard that Shi Xiangyun also had a unicorn, he couldn't stop scratching his head. Finally, he simply went downstairs and shamelessly borrowed the unicorn from Sun Shaozong and handed it to Xue Baochai for identification.

Xue Baochai was more surprised when she saw this, "This is the sas Sister Xiangyun's, but it's a little bigger!"

Tanchun spoke quickly and blurted out next to her, "Isn't it just one male and one female?”

At this moment, Lin Daiyu also forgot to be sour and jealous, and her beautiful eyes flowed. She murmured, "If it's one male and one female, and Brother Sun says it's fated, isn't that what he means…”

Although she didn't say everything, everyone knew that she was saying that Sun Shaozong and Shi Xiangyun were fated.

“Hmm... It may not necessarily be a couple…”

Jia Baoyu reluctantly tugged at the corner of his mouth and said somewhat awkwardly, "Maybe it's a brother or sister, or a father or daughter.”

The others didn't say anything, but Lin Daiyu sneered at him repeatedly.

Jia Baoyu felt guilty when she saw it, so he had to smile and say, "I... I'm going to give it back to Second Brother Sun. Whatever it is, it's definitely not related to me.”

In fact, he has more affection for Shi Xiangyun.

Nowadays, he felt uneasy and just felt that someone who has been close since childhood suddenly got involved with others and might even be even closer than himself, which was a bit difficult to accept for a while.
