Detective in the Red Chamber

Make up later.

Chapter 956

No wonder the crown prince wanted to make some kind of cowhide partition, because he wanted to set up a stage, and invite the emperor and his officials to watch a good show.

It's a good thing he can figure it out!

No wonder the Crown Princess was so active and wild at that time, probably because of his 'wonderful thinking', she lost her mind.

In other words, do I really want to be with his daughter-in-law in front of the emperor...

and also……

Is the role of the crown prince in this drama equivalent to that of a juicy boy in the AV class?

"Second Master, Second Master? Second Master!"

After several calls in a row, Sun Shaozong came to his senses. She hurriedly picked up Ruan Rong's legs, put them on her knees and rubbed them lightly, and said perfunctorily, "Just keep talking, I'll listen to you." It's on."

As the delivery date approached, the edema on Ruan Rong's calf became more and more serious. There was no special medicine these days, so she could only let the maids beat and pinch her from time to time to comfort her.

Now it is Sun Shaozong, although he may not be as proficient in technique as the maids, but he is very useful in his heart.

So I didn't care about his half-heartedness just now, and followed the previous topic and said: "Actually, there is nothing to prepare. Although the master is not at home these days, our sisters are not idle, and everything is done after asking Miss Xing. , to pick up the best equipment."

This is of course a matter of accepting Xing Xiuyan as a concubine.

It was originally planned to carry her through the house years ago, but this has been delayed for nearly half a year, so it is naturally not good to delay any longer.

In fact, Ping'er also waited for a long time, but after all, she was born as a servant, and she had been a maid for several years, so she was far inferior to Xing Xiuyan in terms of status and background.

So even though Ruan Rong was closer to her, she still put Xing Xiuyan's affair in her head.

"You and your sister-in-law can discuss these matters. As long as you don't feel wronged, I can say nothing here."

Sun Shaozong pretended not to care, but couldn't help but inquired: "Yesterday, I heard from You Shi that Miss Xing's skills are good?"

Seeing the strange look on his face when he spoke, Ruan Rong immediately shook her legs and spat: "Bah, bah, bah! Something that can't be more elegant, it will look nasty if you say it like this!"

"I'm talking about Pin Xiao, where is..."

"Master, don't tease people. It seems that dinner is about to start, and I will lose my appetite."

tsk~

This woman who is pregnant with Liujia is really different. When she just came back from Huguang last year, she was never picky about food.

Sun Shaozong smacked his lips: "Okay, let's be serious. Under the leadership of His Majesty, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple jointly launched the "Put Law to the Countryside" campaign, which has achieved initial results. Feedback is good, there are a few here and there...”

Ruan Rong was talking nonsense like a report, when Ruan Rong suddenly asked, "What's going on in Southern Xinjiang? The news that comes back is different every day, which one is true?"

"Is this..."

Sun Shaozong hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's only been two days since I came back, where can I get the letter? Allow me to inquire carefully."

Speaking of which, seeing that Ruan Rong was a little depressed, Sun Shaozong hurriedly added: "However, according to my estimation, the two sides are probably at a stalemate. You know best the climate in southern Xinjiang. However, it is the time when the epidemic is rampant. Horses are not acclimatized, even if they have the upper hand before late autumn, it will probably be difficult for them to go deep into the hinterland of southern Xinjiang."

Ruan Rong was still not in a good mood, she was depressed for a long time, and sighed quietly: "It would be great if the two families can stop fighting and make peace."

It's not that easy.

For the sake of the war in southern Xinjiang, the imperial court had to hold their noses and negotiate peace with the Jurchens [although they were talking, they suddenly played a combination of punches]. If they couldn't wipe out the two thorns of Qianxiang and Zhenla in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be a loss? Face, hurt the lizi again?

But this is actually a good thing for my cheap old father-in-law. Anyway, his original political inclination is biased towards Da Zhou. Then he can be a leader with peace of mind, maybe he can be a puppet prime minister or something.

While talking, Pomegranate hurried in from the outside. Sun Shaozong thought it was time for dinner, but when he got up and asked, he found out that it was his sister-in-law Jia Yingchun calling him to talk.

Seeing that it was almost dinner time, what did she ask herself to do at this time?

"Mostly it's for the second grandma of Rongguo Mansion. Not long after my master left this morning, she came to our mansion, and she hasn't returned until now."

Is Wang Xifeng here?

tsk~

Could this woman know the taste of the marrow?

But I fought fiercely last night and this morning, so I still have the strength to deal with her?

He slandered in his heart, but Sun Shaozong didn't dare to neglect, changed his luggage under the service of Pomegranate, and left the house in a hurry.

When I arrived at Jia Yingchun's place, I saw Yuanyang leading a little maid waiting outside for a long time.

I haven't seen her for half a year, but the thing beside her hasn't changed much, except that her chest has become a lot heavier.

Even if this mandarin duck is twenty years old this year, it will be nothing in later generations, but now it can be called an older young woman.

When I marry Xing Xiuyan into the family, maybe I should...

Let's wait a little longer, I haven't married my first wife yet, so it's not appropriate to keep stuffing people in the house.

Speaking of this regular wife, when he was outside the customs, Big Brother Cheap took the initiative to mention it. According to him, he doesn't care about his background, let alone any foreign aid. .

Just these two words...

Xue Baochai is still in line.

Of course, Sun Shaozong doesn't have to be tied to death in the Grand View Garden, but this is the world of Red Mansions after all, and the identity of the heroine is undoubtedly a plus even if he hasn't read the original work.

Just thinking wildly all the way, followed the mandarin duck into the living room, and saw the sister-in-law Jia Yingchun sitting behind the round table like stars holding the moon, but there was no sign of Wang Xifeng beside her.

Could it be that the Diao mother-in-law has already left?

Suspicious in his heart, Sun Shaozong stepped forward and bowed: "Sister-in-law ordered someone to call me over, I don't know what orders you have."

"I……"

"I told her to call you over!"

Just as Jia Yingchun was about to strike up a conversation, there was a quick talk from the dormitory, and then Wang Xifeng came out from the door to the left and right, and said with a smile: "Erlang said that he wanted to find a way of making money for my family. How could it take more than half a year?" No audio either?"

If she didn't say it, Sun Shaozong really forgot about it.

However, the source of income is ready-made. Sourcing local products from Jurchen may not be a big profit, but it is a steady stream of business.

She smiled slightly at the moment, and was about to have a few words with Wang Xifeng, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. Wang Xifeng stood at the door of the dormitory pretty, with her originally flat belly bulging out of Lao Gao, almost comparable to Ruan Rong.

What the hell!

Another one who secretly tied up with her after having an affair with her!

Could it be that this world should actually be called Dream of Green Mansions? !

Chapter 957

Because after handing over the errands from the Ministry of Rites, he got another ten days of menstrual leave, Sun Shaozong first picked up the important ones and dealt with them one by one, and in the next few days he simply closed the door to thank the guests, and took a pair of children and his "nephew" to wander around.

Different from the rapid changes of the later generations, the mere half-year separation hardly left many traces in the capital.

Of course, this is also because a few years ago, people gathered together to build gardens, which greatly overdrawn the spending power of the veteran nobles, and they had to try their best to support their cards in addition to their cash, so they were naturally unable to carry out any major projects.

As for the emerging dignitaries in the past few years, either they have not yet completed their original accumulation, or their clan roots are all in their original places, and there are only three or five families scattered around them, or they have some actions that are not very conspicuous.

The only changes that can be seen with the naked eye are probably those Taoist temples.

Because His Majesty favors Taoist priests and alchemists nowadays, almost all the Taoist temples have made a lot of money. Even if they are unable to build a new Taoist temple out of thin air like the Tianshi Mansion, it will not be a problem to repair it.

As the saying goes, 'People need clothes, Buddhas need gold clothes', the Sanqing Taoist priest is also full of radiance and appearance when he is covered with gold powder.

A few days ago, the Concubine De concubine had just successfully given birth to a dragon son, which was equivalent to making another live advertisement for the Taoist priests, and the foolish men and women flocked to it.

Almost every Taoist temple is crowded with people, and nearly half of them come to pray for a child.

Taoist priests will never miss this god-given opportunity, and various "promotion" activities take turns, needless to say, common sayings, lottery and so on. "Ming Duan Chen Hooks the Moon".

Although the other Taoist temples were half a step late, they were not to be outdone. They almost took over all the opera troupes in the capital, and the weddings and funerals of those big families who made troubles were a bit less colorful, but they also made the common people full. eyesight.

Although Sun Shaozong is not very interested in these operas that are mainly religious propaganda and have boring content, but children love to join in the fun.

Therefore, in the past few days, more than half of the time was spent lingering in various Taoist temples.

On May [-]th, Sun Shaozong simply took his children to Qingxu Temple early in the morning to ask Taoist Zhang for some inside information between the government and the public, which was better than listening to Taoist priests he didn't know.

But who would have guessed that it was such an unfortunate coincidence that Daoist Zhang was on stage just in time to celebrate.

Sun Shaozong had no choice but to order his servants to take a few young ones to go to the corner tower to make fun of it, while he found a meditation room to hide quietly.

In fact, he took the child to wander around these few days, not only to enhance the relationship between father and son, but also to hide a leisurely time. Wang Xifeng came to the door that day, in addition to 'showing off' her pregnant state, she was also standing up for Wang Ren.

To say that this Wang Ya Nei is really a dead man, and that the imperial court wanted to severely punish Wang Ziteng, but he was just speculating and far-fetched, and he was already in a mess.

After going around the camp and getting a lot of rejections, I don't know who I heard said: As long as the envoys visiting Liaodong can testify in front of the emperor the achievements of the navy's power in Korea, most of them will be able to absolve the Wang family of guilt.

So Wang Ren kept coming to harass her for three days in a row, plus Wang Xifeng's side-talking, always talking about the fetus in her womb, it was really unbearable to disturb.

but……

It seemed like a mistake to take the child out to hide in peace.

With a few brats gathered together, how can there be any peace at all?

Not to mention working hard all day, and facing Youshi's hunger and thirst when returning home.

Hey~

It's really hard to enjoy the blessings of all people!

In the future, when expanding the harem, we should try our best to find herbivores, for example...

knock knock knock

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, thinking about some unclean things, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door lightly.

Sun Shaozong quickly restrained his messy thoughts, and Baoxiang solemnly raised his voice: "Come in."

In the end, it was a domestic servant accompanying him who entered in response.

Seeing him stooping forward two steps, he cupped his hands and reported: "Second Lord, there is news from the family that Feng Baihu is scheduled to be escorted and leave the capital in three days."

"understood."

Sun Shaozong agreed lightly, and when the servant exited the door, he carefully closed the door, but he couldn't help sighing.

A few days ago, Hu Zhen from Beizhen Fusi helped down the invitation card, thinking it was to discuss the matter of Bailian's rebellion.

He never thought of exchanging a few words with Beizhen Fusi, but Hu Xianzhong cut to the point, discussing Feng Xin's disposal plan.

According to Hu Xianzhong's statement, Emperor Guangde was very angry because of Su Xingfang's case a few days ago, and ordered Beizhen Fusi to conduct strict investigations.

Originally, although Feng Xin was collaborating with the bandits, he did not cause any real loss to the court. He even repented at the critical moment and assisted the court in capturing several important figures of the White Lotus Sect.

But because of this edict, Hu Xianzhong, who supervised the handling of the case, did not dare to indulge him any longer.

So after repeated weighings, Feng Xin finally ended up being exiled to Yunnan and Guizhou.

And Hu Xianzhong went to Sun Shaozong this time to explain the joints, and to prevent him from feeling grudges.

It can only be said that there is cause and effect in this world. When Sun Shaozong took down Su Xingfang, he never thought that Feng Xin would be implicated in this way.

It is useless to say anything at the moment, I can only talk about preparing a few glasses of water and wine, and a few letters to the front-line generals, and practice it as Feng Xin's farewell.

Speaking of the Yunnan-Guizhou frontline, Shen Lian invited Zhan to Yunnan-Guizhou years ago, but Lu Jianxing chose to stay in the capital after hesitation. It is said that after the beginning of spring, he even met several women, as if he was preparing to start a family and start a career.

After hearing the news, Sun Shaozong asked Lu Jianxing to write a divorce letter, and asked Shen Lian to inquire about the situation of the cheap old man nearby.

Of course, if news came back, Sun Shaozong would probably only report good news and not bad news.

knock knock knock

At this time, someone knocked on the door again, but it was the servant who led a person back just now.

"Humble job Hong Jiu, kowtow to my lord."

The person who came was none other than Sun Shaozong's little official Hong Jiu who had been placed in the Department of General Affairs.

After Hong Jiu entered the door, he paid homage directly, and after Sun Shaozong raised his hand to signal him to get up, he reported straight to the point: "My lord, something went wrong in Cangzhou Mansion. Annoyed at the unfair treatment by the government office, he raised the tablet of the master and surrounded the Cangzhou government office."

After a pause, he added: "Master Wei sent the humble officer over this time, but he didn't say anything else, he just asked the humble officer to pass on a message."

It is said that it is a letter, but how can Sun Shaozong stay out of this matter?

At the beginning of spring this year, the imperial court selected two prefectures and seven counties in Zhili as the pilot sites for "Puting the Law to the Countryside", and Cangzhou Mansion is one of them.

It has only been a trial run for less than half a year, and such an incident seems to have little to do with Sun Shaozong. After all, he has not participated in the relevant supervision, and he has just returned to the capital until not long ago.
