Chapter 55: Yin and Yang, Wang Xifeng's clever test of love
On the northeast side of Rongguo Mansion, there is a simple flower hall with Western glass windows.
"Three, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Four, two, three, four, five, six..."
Li Wan was seen shouting the beat, bending forward, and raising her arms and head high backwards.
Then she stopped her lunge and bent her slender waist downward.
Just this simple whole-body exercise, coupled with her charming figure, the effect is no less than a feast!
Unfortunately, the only audience member present was Jia Lan, who was unromantic, which was really a waste of talent.
Uh~
To be precise, there was not even a single audience member, because Jia Lan was also doing radio gymnastics with a stern face and concentration.
After finishing the four-section, eight-beat full-body exercise, Li Wan waited for her son to catch his breath before continuing to recite: "Seventh section, jumping exercise, ready - go! One, two, three, four, five, six..."
Jia Lan performed the movements meticulously, his two deerskin boots clacking on the blue bricks. It was already the third period, but he suddenly realized that his mother was just gesturing with her hands, but her feet were not moving at all. He immediately pouted and yelled, "Mother, why are you being lazy again? Jump up quickly, or I won't jump either!"
Upon hearing this, Li Wan had no choice but to jump to the beat. Although her movements were not large, they were full of ups and downs.
In fact, at the beginning, Li Wan was very resistant to this strange way of .
But Jia Lan had no choice but to take her to exercise together. Considering that his son was also doing it out of filial piety, and after practicing gymnastics for half a month, Jia Lan's physical condition did improve a little - at least he enjoyed his meals more and slept much more soundly at night.
So in order to avoid dampening Jia Lan's enthusiasm, she had to suppress her embarrassment and accompany her son to exercise three times a day, morning, noon and evening.
After several days of training, Li Wan had gotten used to it, except for the jumping exercise, which was really...
"ah!"
A sudden exclamation interrupted Li Wan's thoughts.
She hurriedly crossed her arms in front of her body, then looked in the direction of the voice with embarrassment and anger, but saw the maid Suyun covering her mouth, looking like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Seeing this, Li Wan knew that her embarrassing behavior just now had been seen by this maid.
The blush on her face intensified, and she said in a half-hearted and half-fake way, "You unruly little bitch! Didn't I tell you that when Brother Lang is training, no one is allowed to come and disturb him?!"
After hearing her scolding, Suyun remembered her purpose and said hurriedly, "Grandma, just as the master came back home, he sent someone to fetch our brother. Sister Caixia said that the master looked very scary. I'm afraid it's not a good thing!"
Not a good thing?
Li Wan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Without thinking too much, she quickly pulled Jia Lan to her side and asked, "Lan'er, have you been naughty in school ?"
Jia Lan was very young and Li Wan was very strict with him. He basically went between the school and the backyard every day. That was why Li Wan thought that he was naughty in the school and annoyed his grandfather Jia Zheng.
Jia Lan hurriedly shook his head. Li Wan asked a few more questions, but still could not get the point. Seeing that Caixia was getting impatient and had begun to look inside, Li Wan had to suppress her anxiety and let Jia Lan go to Rong Xi Tang.
But after Jia Lan left, Li Wan became even more uneasy.
It was because Li Wan gave birth to Jia Lan just one month after Jia Zhu's death. Although Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, she ignored Jia Lan in the past few years - it was obvious that she linked the death of her eldest son with the birth of her grandson.
With the mistress of the house having such an attitude, the subordinates naturally became less attentive. Although they did not dare to really embarrass Li Wan and her son, compared with the treatment they received from Jia Baoyu, it was far worse.
If I offend Jia Zheng again for any reason...
Thinking of this, Li Wan couldn't help but feel sad and self-pitying, and blamed Jia Zhu, the short-lived ghost, a thousand times.
"Grandma, grandma!"
At this moment, they heard footsteps outside. Li Wan hurried to the door, only to see Su Yun gasping for breath and shouting, "Don't worry, grandma. It's not our brother who caused the trouble. Master Bao and Master Huan were also called over. I heard they were talking about the Yin and Yang!"
Only then did Li Wan feel relieved and quickly put her hands together and chanted "Amitabha" several times.
But why would Jia Zheng think of calling his children and grandchildren over to talk about the "principle of yin and yang" for such a good reason?
She was curious, so she asked Suyun a few questions, but Suyun had only eavesdropped on the conversation from outside, so how could she know the inside story?
Therefore, after a slight hesitation, Li Wan led Suyun to Wang Xifeng's courtyard - if we were to say who had the sharpest ears and eyes in the backyard, it would naturally be Feng Lazi.
--Dividing line--
When I arrived at Wang Xifeng's room, I saw her lying on her side on the couch in the outer room, listening to Zhou Rui's wife's chattering. She was covered with a cloak made of snow fox fur. She looked lazy, but her eyes were still fierce. From a distance, she looked like a female leopard lying in the snow.
Seeing Li Wan coming in from outside, Wang Xifeng jumped up, but was not in a hurry to get off the bed. Instead, she said jokingly with a smile: "I was just planning to ask someone to invite you, but I didn't expect you couldn't wait - come on, come and listen to what strange case the second son of the Sun family has solved!"
The two sisters-in-law often visited each other, and Li Wan didn't bother to be polite with her. She went straight onto the low couch and pulled half of the fox fur coat over her legs.
As she reached out her hand, she happened to touch a pair of tender feet that were as cold as jade. Li Wan could not help but advise, "If you ask me, you should take some time to learn some 'fitness exercises'. If you move around every day, you won't be so cold."
"Stop jumping on me!"
Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at her and said, "It's fine for Miss Lin and the others, but if I were to learn those weird things at my age, wouldn't the maids and wives below laugh at me to death?"
Li Wan was about to persuade him again, but Wang Xifeng simply stretched out her long legs and said, "Alright, alright, don't you love the story of Sun Tongpan solving the case the most? Just listen to it honestly!"
When she said the words "I love Sun Tongpan the most", her jade-like toes began to scratch Li Wan's legs, making Li Wan feel flustered and short of breath. Only then did she realize that her ridiculous thoughts had been discovered by Wang Xifeng!
For a moment, let alone trying to persuade her, he didn't even have the courage to move the jade foot away.
Little did she know that her cowardly retreat only confirmed Wang Xifeng's speculation!
In this way, the two men lay on the couch, each with their own thoughts, listening to Zhou Ruijia's vivid description of the case of the heavenly dog eating the heart. In the middle, he inevitably exaggerated and made Sun Shaozong sound more like someone other than an ordinary person.
Just then I heard that the box of evil things exposed a shocking evil love.
Then a maid ran in from outside, shouting at the top of her voice, "Madam, Second Madam, this is terrible! Second Master pinned Master Bao to the ground and beat him up, and even Second Madam couldn't stop him!"
Wang Xifeng and Li Wan were both stunned and hurriedly asked Baoyu why he was beaten.
"It seems to be because of the young master of the Qin family who died not long ago!"
For Qin Zhong?
Thinking of the case of the heavenly dog biting the heart just now, Li Wan immediately understood what the "Yin and Yang Theory" Jia Zheng was talking about today.
