Detective in the Red Chamber

However, when Sun Shaozong returned to the mansion, he found out that Sun Chengye had visited the mansion in the morning, but he only heard that Sun Shaozong was not at the mansion, so he left without staying any longer.

But before leaving, Sun Chengye said that he would go to the Yamen to look for him tomorrow morning.

This made Sun Shaozong a little puzzled. Seeing that it will be Qiu Wei in two or three months, Sun Chengye is bound to win this subject. He has been studying hard behind closed doors since early autumn. Only saw him three or five times.

Today, the family nephew came to visit suddenly, and said that he still has to go to the yamen to find someone. Could it be that he encountered some difficulties?

I wanted to send someone to ask for clarification, but I was afraid that his face would be thin and it would be difficult to speak in front of the servants.

Forget it, Zuo Zuo tomorrow is going to the Yamen, so let's wait until then and ask him face to face.

Thinking in this way, Sun Shaozong went to the backyard on his own.

As soon as he crossed the threshold of his main room, he saw a coffee table in the living room, and his son Sun Chengyi was sitting on a small bench, listening to Xiangling's lecture with a sad face.

Of course, what I'm talking about here is not about advanced knowledge, but the simple basics of literacy.

Originally, according to Sun Shaozong's intention, he would wait until he turned three years old on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year, before formally studying for enlightenment.

However, Ruan Rong saw that the child was early-witted, and he was so stubborn all day long that he was really hard to control, so he simply advanced the preschool education by more than two months.

"Second Master!"

"Second Master is back!"

"I have seen the master!"

Sun Shaozong was still looking at his son at the door, but the female relatives in the house had already discovered his arrival, and there was a burst of chaos.

Sun Chengyi even jumped up from the bench, rushed forward and hugged his father's thigh, shaking like a dragonfly shaking a tree: "Daddy, Daddy, I don't want to read anymore, I don't want to read anymore!"

slap~

Although Xiangling was in charge of teaching, the ruler was in Ruan Rong's hands. Seeing her son yelling to 'drop out of school', she slapped the ruler on the Kang table, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily, "What nonsense? You can't read well. , do you still want to be blind?!"

A child who is less than three weeks old, no matter how precocious, how can he understand what it means to be blind?

Relying on the fact that his mother was always spoiled, he didn't care about her scolding at all, and hugged Sun Shaozong's thigh and couldn't stop begging.

Sun Shaozong raised his toes, hooked his buttocks and lifted them up, and hugged him in his arms, and asked seriously: "If you don't want to read and write, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Learn Kung Fu and become a great general!"

The little guy pouted and put his hips on his hips, pushing his chest up.

There was a burst of laughter around, but Sun Shaozong nodded, put him back on the ground, pointed to the door and said: "Then go to the horse step first, after persisting for an hour, father will teach you the ability to be invincible!"

"Really? Then Daddy hooks me up!"

Seeing that the father and father made an agreement in a decent manner, the son rushed out happily. Ruan Rong gave Sun Shaozong a helpless look, and hurriedly ordered Shiliu to chase him out and add a woolen clothes to the child.

"Have you ever eaten outside?"

Then she puffed out her belly, and said with concern: "Can you ask the kitchen to send some ready-made ones?"

Xiangling next to him also hurried forward to help Sun Shaozong take off his coat, and changed into his regular indoor shoes.

Sun Shaozong leaned on the Arhat bed, with one leg pressed into Xiangling's arms, and with his arms crossed, he pulled Ruan Rong closer, and lazily said: "When the little bastard can't bear it anymore, you call him to come in and learn to read—I will come in this afternoon." I don’t plan to go to the yamen either, so that the kitchen can be easily prepared, don’t worry.”

There is a little girl next to her who goes down to pass on the message.

Not long after, Second Sister You hurried over.

Due to the rare leisure time in recent days, the three women surrounded Sun Shaozong in a square shape, while beating his legs and shoulders for him, while talking about some trivial things about his parents.

The children on the left and right were not in the room, so Sun Shaozong would not shy away from doing things. He talked about length in his mouth, and his hands and feet had already measured their plumpness, thinness, and depth.

After such a few rounds, Ruan Rong was defeated first, her eyes were full of spring water, and she couldn't help complaining: "I know I can't provoke you, but I want to make trouble like this!"

As he spoke, he put on his embroidered shoes, and stepped on Sun Shaozong's bear waist with his snow-satin-like feet.

Sun Shaozong grabbed his ankle with his backhand, and fiddled with the soles of his feet with a few fingers. Ruan Rong, who was flirting straight, trembled all over, and hurriedly cupped her stomach again and begged for mercy: "No, it's really not! You want to If you want to play, go to the West Wing and let go of playing, don't play tricks on me again!"

She was only three months pregnant, and Sun Shaozong was afraid that something bad would happen, so he carefully embraced her in his arms, expressing his regret of "I don't want to, I really can't".

Then he was going to go to the west chamber to have fun with Xiangling and Second Sister You.

Second Sister You posted it like a rice cake, but Xiangling refused it straight away, obviously it was difficult to accept for a while, except Qingwen and Ruan Rong's 'third party'.

Just as they were making a fuss, suddenly Shiliu came in from outside with a strange expression, and reported: "Second Master, outside, Qingwen, Caixia, and sister Yuanyang beside the eldest wife have something to report to you."

Qingwen and Caixia are fine.

Yuanyang has been avoiding danger even more since she decided to live her life.

Now the three of them suddenly come together...

"But for the autumn pattern?"

Sun Shaozong frowned and said: "You go and ask, if you want the master to save people, tell them to go back and reflect on themselves!"

Shiliu turned around and went to the door again, and came back to report after a while: "They also know that Qiuwen cannot be saved, but they are just thinking about their friendship for many years, and hope that the Lord will be merciful and let them go to prison for a while."

It doesn't matter.

After all, the jailer in Shuntian Mansion was none other than Zhou Da, a close friend promoted by Sun Shaozong back then, not to mention going to see a female prisoner in the prison, even to sleep a few, it would not be a difficult task.

"Let them go back and prepare. In the afternoon, I will ask Zhang Cheng to take them to Shuntian Mansion for a walk."

Pomegranate agreed, and went back to pass on the message again.

But Xiangling took the opportunity to evade and said: "Master, I have to teach Brother Yi how to read later, why don't I let Qingwen take my place, it can be regarded as her reward for master's fulfillment."

"This……"

Sun Shaozong smacked his lips: "Then their visit to the prison, isn't it going to be rescheduled?"

Others were puzzled by what they heard, so Ruan Rong came up and shoved him, and spat angrily: "Isn't that enough to keep Youshi tight? Just let her taste the soup!"

Chapter 906

[It's done, after writing a chapter in the morning, I can go to lunch. 】

Just after Shenzheng [four o'clock in the afternoon], the oil lamps were already lit in the prison in Shuntian Mansion.

Under the light of the bean lamp, every bump on Zhou Zheng's face reflected a greasy luster, which looked like a freshly peeled potato.

At this moment, he was lying back on a casual chair, squinting his eyes, scanning the little lady opposite him inch by inch, with an expression as if he wanted to wrap her in his mouth and swallow her alive.

The young woman was stared at so helplessly that she wished she could find a crack in the ground and slip in.

However, she asked Zhou Da again, so she could only bite the bullet and said with a smile: "My... my lord, please show me your hand and let me meet my husband--this is a small kindness, please be kind to me, my lord." Laughing."

Hearing the word Xinyi, Zhou Da's eyes lit up, but when the little lady pulled out two hanging copper coins from the sleeve, his expression suddenly returned to calm.

But the little lady didn't realize it, she timidly put two hanging copper coins on the table, and looked at Zhou Da anxiously and expectantly.

Zhou Da glanced at the two hanging copper coins with his eyelids, and then sighed: "Forget it, I'm not looking at the money, the main reason is that it's not easy for you, a woman, to show your face in public - go outside and wait, wait." I'll have someone take you to see her later."

The young woman was overjoyed, and after thanking her thousands of times, Tingting left gracefully.

When the wooden door was closed again, Zhou Da looked away reluctantly, thinking to himself that this little lady had a sharp oval face, and she never thought that she was hiding her pair's good-looking buttocks.

If you become a widow in the future, you might as well take her into the house and spread the branches and leaves for the old Zhou family.

Thinking in his heart, he slammed his fatter thigh against the table foot, and the two hanging copper coins that hit him made a rattling sound. He waited until the eyes of the two prisoners in the room were attracted by the movement, and he said slowly: "Take it to buy some wine and vegetables, and I will be the host tonight, so that the brothers can have a good time."

"Master Zhou is so righteous!"

"I thank Master Zhou for my brothers!"

The two prisoners hurriedly responded with flattery, and they were about to fight for it, so they went up to pick up the copper coins, but they heard Zhou Da say: "Just go to one person, and the rest will lock that Suan Ding named Wu on the toilet." , and take his mother-in-law to take a look from a distance—his family must be more than such a luscious one, and he will only pay more money if he sees the miserable appearance of that little white face."

The two prisoners responded in unison again, and they didn't know how to distribute them. One excitedly took copper coins to buy wine and meat, and the other lazily took the little lady of the Wu family to visit her husband in the prison.

After the two of them left, Zhou Da tightened the blanket around his body, feeling somewhat dispirited.

When he was first transferred to prison, two slings of copper coins were enough for him to be overjoyed.

But after these years of 'experience', his appetite has already grown, and the two hanging copper coins are naturally out of sight.

Fortunately, although he has a big appetite, his courage has not swelled much. Even if he is not satisfied with the oil and water passing by, he dare not get involved in the business of killing people and stealing money.

It's just that this life of dissatisfaction is really boring.

Or, go to Yingchun Tower to play again at night?

I heard that a few new sisters have arrived recently, and they all look good...

knock knock knock

Just as he was thinking about the next three ways, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, Zhou Da responded casually, and saw the new prisoner come in with a red head and face, pointing to Qiqi Ai outside and saying: "Master Prisoner, outside... outside... Here we come... a few prison visitors have come."

"Come on, come on, why are you stuttering?"

Zhou Da glared at him dissatisfied, and asked, "Who are they? Who do you want to visit?"

"A man, and... and three women!"

The man just took it all in one word, but when talking about the three women, the prisoner couldn't stop stammering.

Seeing this, Zhou Da regained his energy immediately, straightened his fat body, and asked with burning eyes: "Could it be that there are three beautiful girls? How do you compare with that little lady from the Wu family just now?"

"Okay...it looks much better!"

Although he still stammered, his tone was decisive.

Prettier than that Wu Xiucai's wife? !

Zhou Da also became more and more excited, but the cautiousness he had cultivated over the years allowed him to be patient, and asked again: "Then who are they here to visit, have you asked?"

"I asked, I asked, just a few days ago, the maid in Rongguo Mansion who killed the young master, they..."

"and many more!"

The excitement on Zhou Da's face was immediately replaced by seriousness. Huo Di got up from the leisure chair, threw the blanket on the table, and asked under his breath, "Aren't they from the Rongguo Mansion?"

Xiao Laozi immediately shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be from the Rongguo Mansion. The man who took the lead only said that he was your old friend, my lord."

Old friend?

Zhou Da was confused for a while, but soon made up his mind - no matter who it is, he must meet.

He straightened his clothes and rushed out with the little prisoner.

When he got outside the gate of the prison, he saw three young ladies who looked like fairies standing in one place, fat and thin.

Zhou Da's eyes fixed involuntarily, and even his bones seemed to be a few taels lighter. He was about to turn on the scanning mode, but suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Zhou Si prison, long time no see, you are getting richer and richer."

Zhou Da followed the prestige subconsciously, his whole fat body trembled, and then a chrysanthemum-like smile bloomed on his bumpy face.

"Ouch!"

He patted his thigh exaggeratedly, and exclaimed as he leaned forward: "So it's Mr. Zhang! It's been a while! How are you doing, my lord? I'm going to visit the mansion, but unfortunately, my lord just happened to be there." The Prince's Mansion..."

Since he was in charge of guarding the prison, it was inevitable that he would meet some wealthy house slaves, and similar scenes of flattery would inevitably be staged several times a year.

But this time Zhou Da did it from the bottom of his heart.

After all, Sun Shaozong is not only his benefactor and backer, but also the biggest bragging capital in his life.

Therefore, he was full of emotions and inquired about his health, and it took him a long time to calm down and think about the business again.

He took a peek at Yuanyang and the others, but didn't even dare to see their faces clearly, so he hurriedly took it back and said seriously: "Master Zhang, I heard that you and these girls want to visit that maid in Rongguo Mansion? At the critical point... it won't cause any trouble to the adults, will it?"

"Don't worry, it was designed by our second master." Zhang Chenghun waved his hands indifferently, and said again: "These girls were originally from the Rongguo Mansion, and they have a lot of friendship with that Qiuwen, so I specially asked for help." The second master came to visit the prison."

As he said that, he lowered his voice and added: "Now in our house, they all have cards. Maybe they will be promoted to aunts one day."

Hearing the words, Zhou Cheng understood even more, and hurriedly patted his chest and laughed: "Why don't we say that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black! There is no one in the Rongguo mansion, but those around our lord are all affectionate and righteous." The female heroine of my family——I didn’t say anything, but with this kind of loyalty, my old Zhou has to take the risk!"

As he spoke, he personally led the crowd to the women's prison.

Because of Ni Er's past, the women's prison in Shuntian Mansion was much stricter than in the early years, and it was not easy for Zhou Cheng, the jailer, to come in and out at will.

But now, under the name of Sun Shaozong, it is unimpeded.

But after a while, he arrived at the place where Qiuwen was being held, it was a very clean single room, there was no lack of food and clothing in it, it was no less than a normal inn.

It's not because the Rongguo Mansion sent money—Jia Baoyu wanted to visit the prison to send money, but unfortunately he was ordered to restrain him.

It's because Qiuwen is currently the focus of heated discussions in the streets and alleys, and it was the governor Jia Yucun who brought it back to the Yamen in person. If something goes wrong in the prison, no one will be able to bear it.

Originally it was agreed that Zhang Cheng and Zhou Da would guard outside and let the girls go inside to visit and talk.

But when she reached the prison door, Caixia was holding the food box, but she stopped unconsciously.
