Detective in the Red Chamber

"The protagonist in that book was also a marriage envoy, but what about the ending of this marriage?"

The experience of a marriage envoy surnamed Wei flashed through his mind, and Sun Shaozong couldn't help laughing again, but he couldn't explain it to Ruan Rong in detail, so he changed his face and said: "I will go south this time, at least a year, at least half a year. Zai, the family depends entirely on you to take care of it, it's nothing else, Youshi is pregnant now."

"Sister You's pregnant?"

Ruan Rong was taken aback when she heard the words, and blurted out, "Why didn't you hear her mention a word?"

Sun Shaozong laughed and said: "When she was not pregnant, she wished she could talk about the baby all day long; now that she is really pregnant, she is afraid of scaring the baby away, so she didn't dare to say anything about it after she was diagnosed the day before yesterday. .”

This is just a superficial reason. In fact, Second Sister You is faintly wary of Ruan Rong, for fear that she will secretly attack Sun Shaozong while Sun Shaozong is not at home in order to consolidate the dominance of the family.

Although Sun Shaozong believed that Ruan Rong was not like this, he would not be so stupid as to dissect it clearly in front of her.

After talking in a few words and reminding her to take good care of her, the Lushan's claws that were wrapped around her shoulders slid down to her chest silently.

Seeing that he was caught, but was held back by Ruan Rong, she said coquettishly: "Master, don't mess around. It's noon, and I even invited my sisters to come over for a drink!"

"They're all from my own family, what's there to be afraid of? Let's have a romantic relationship with me first."

knock knock knock

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door outside, and Ruan Rong hurriedly took advantage of the situation to get away.

Sun Shaozong was still not satisfied, so he went to the door angrily, raised the curtain and looked out, but it was Pomegranate Hou who was outside.

"what happened again?"

"The prince invites you to the banquet!"

Tu

At this point, I sent someone to invite

Could it be that the report performance, which has been brewing for two months, is scheduled for today?

Chapter 962 The Days When Sun Erlang Was Not Around 【Part [-]】

[There will be more tomorrow. 】

Wangjiang Tower.

Jia Yun bowed her body and exited the private room, closed half of the door with her remaining arm, and was about to close the other half, so as to isolate the room from obscenity.

Unexpectedly, a person suddenly appeared next to him, rushing to close the door.

Seeing this, Jia Yun raised her eyebrows, not only displeased, but also a little bit annoyed—with such a strong personality like him, the most taboo thing is that others treat her as a cripple.

"I've seen Fifth Master!"

The person who came didn't know that he had slapped the horse's ass on the horse's leg, salivated with a flattering smile, folded his shoulders and folded his hands, and asked cautiously: "May I ask if the old man is free now?"

Jia Yun glanced sideways and recognized the man as Fang Chun, a gardener from the West Street. Some annoyance in her heart turned into pity.

Immediately sighed: "It doesn't matter if you are here or not? You don't even look, anyone can break into this boundary?"

As he spoke, he moved his chin a little further up the stairs: "Let's talk while walking."

Then, without waiting for Fang Chun's response, he went downstairs.

Fang Chun subconsciously followed two steps, but couldn't help but turn around to look around. Hearing the laughter in the box, he felt helpless for a while, but at least he went back wholeheartedly. "

"The next two waves will be miserable. Don't talk about the money, one has a cut in the forehead; the other..."

He turned his head and pointed to the stairs: "It was thrown down from above, and it is still raised on the bed."

Fang Chun shrank his neck in shock, his face became more and more bitter.

Following Jia Yun and walking a few steps forward, seeing that the carriage to Rongguo Mansion was not far away, he knew that if he didn't do anything, it would be in vain again.

Thinking of his wives, children, and mother who were waiting to be fed at home, he gritted his teeth, and suddenly took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of Jia Yun, crying, "Fifth Master, Fifth Master! No one in this capital knows that you are always the most benevolent Yes! I beg you to speak a word in front of the Grand Master and save the lives of my family!"

As he spoke, he bumped against the bluestone slab with a bang.

"What are you doing!"

Jia Yun took half a step back first, and broke her forehead after seeing him a few times, then stepped forward helplessly and tried to help him.

But Fang Chun didn't care about it, and he seemed to be devastated if he failed to achieve his goal.

Although Jia Yun had done poisoning before, she still had a bit of chivalrous spirit in her bones. Seeing Fang Chun weeping blood, she couldn't help feeling compassionate.

"Forget it, you get up first and then talk!"

This sigh immediately made Fang Chun feel hopeful, and hurriedly got up from the ground, covering his forehead, his head was covered with blood, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"If you want to talk about this, don't you blame your greed and lack of self-knowledge?"

Although Jia Yun had already made up her mind to help Fang Chun, she wanted to say a few words first.

With his hands behind his back, he casually walked down the corridor, using the corner of his eye to confirm that no one was around, and then continued: "Just when there was some trouble, I just jumped in without thinking about my buttocks..."

Saying the word 'tiao', he felt something was wrong in his heart, and quickly went back to make up for it: "Of course, the elder will definitely not be short of your three melons and two dates, it's just a matter of morning and evening."

"Yes, yes, the villain is confused."

With a bitter face, Fang Chun seemed to be pecking at the nodding chicken, but he was secretly cursing inwardly.

At the beginning, I rashly invested money in it, although I was reckless, but who would have thought that the majestic relatives, the elders of the Rongguo Mansion, would not let go of a hundred taels of silver from a small family?

Since the beginning of the first month of this year, the Grand Master Jia Amnesty Jia has let out the wind, saying that there is news from the palace that the concubine De concubine is going to take the second prince home to visit relatives. Let's expand.

As soon as the news came out, merchants like Fang Chun who had tasted the sweetness before, didn't they gear up and try their best to gain a share of it, vowing to get a piece of it?

Over the past half a year, Jia Amnesty has collected countless "deposits and taps" under various names, not to mention, and encouraged each family to store up a lot of building materials.

Up to now, there has been no movement in Rongguo, and the big family has a big business, but a small family like Fang Chun has been forced into a difficult situation.

That's why in the past few days, people have been daring to come to their door one after another, wanting to get back the deposit.

But how can it be so simple to ask for money from Jia She?

Leaving aside his usual face of hobgoblin, let's just say that the momentum of Rongguo Mansion is at its peak, at least no one dares to neglect it even if there is no response from the ruling and opposition parties.

Especially in recent months, the crown prince has clearly used Taoist magic to make a court lady pregnant with dragon species-this matter has also been certified by several important officials in the court-Ke Yichu's voice is still louder than ever wave.

Even King Zhongshun, who had eyes on the top of his head, did not hesitate to show his favor to Rongguo Mansion repeatedly.

At this moment, how easy is it for a few ordinary people to seek justice?

Therefore, seeing that Jia Yun seemed to want to help her, Fang Chun would still greet her with a smile, not to mention listening to him beating a few words upside down in black and white, even pointing at her nose and scolding her mother.

But he said that Jia Yun praised Jia She for a few words, and felt that the boss was not good enough, so she hurriedly skipped this point, and said in a low voice: "Now in our mansion, you can talk to the old man. Yes, it's just the old lady, the second master, and the second master Bao."

"You can't count on others, but my godfather is a warm-hearted one—coincidentally, the Eldest Master and King Zhongshun hosted a banquet on it, let me invite Second Master Bao to come over, and you wait here under this porch, just As soon as Second Master Bao arrives, it will be like this..."

After a few whispers, Fang Chun, who spoke directly, opened his eyes and smiled, wiping the blood with a handkerchief, while nodding repeatedly in response.

Only then was Jia Yun able to escape, and drove to Rongguo Mansion by car.

Speechless all the way.

Because he is the steward of the house, there is no hindrance to entering and leaving.

It’s just that I found Baoyu’s Yihong Courtyard all the way, but I accidentally missed it. After listening to Si’er who was enjoying the cool air in the corridor, I realized that it was because the heat was unbearable. Xie enjoy the cool.

Jia Yun hurriedly turned around and rushed to the lotus root champagne.

But this time, after all, there were female relatives inside, so he couldn't rush in rashly, so he stood on the pontoon bridge and asked the maid to go in and report.

Just as he was bowing and waiting for a response, another group of people came from the shore.

Jia Yun looked around from a distance, but it was Xue Baochai who rushed over with a few maidservants.

Now Jia Yun hurriedly lowered her head and retreated to the edge of the pontoon bridge, but her heart was full of sighs.

Since Jia's mother's birthday in August last year, the concubine personally acted as a matchmaker and betrothed Xue Baochai to Sun Shaozong. The Xue family's mother and daughter moved back to Zijin Street to be married. Less contacts.

But in the past month or so, things have changed again.

Sun Shaozong was ordered to leave Beijing at the end of September last year to protect the third girl, Jia Tanchun, and walked with dozens of female relatives all the way. It was not until the end of the first month of this year that he arrived at Qinglong Mansion, the capital of Qianxiang Kingdom.

The two had originally agreed to get married on March [-]th.

Unexpectedly, since mid-March, the news from Nanbianer suddenly stopped, and until now, not a single word has come back.

On the contrary, rumors abounded inside and outside the capital, saying that Ruan Fuzhong, the power minister of Qianxiang Kingdom, colluded with Chenla and other countries, and suddenly launched an attack on the day of the wedding banquet, making the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom, the prince, and many guests all become ghosts under the knife.

The people sent by the imperial court to see off their relatives were naturally among them.

Because of these rumors, Xue Baochai resumed his walks with the Rongguo Mansion again—not because he had any other intentions, but because he hoped to find out as much as possible about Sun Shaozong through the Rongguo Mansion.

Hey~

It is already the thirteenth day of May, and there has been no news for more than two months, so Mrs. Sun has probably...

After all, no matter how brave he is, after all, even if he is facing a rebel army with human lives, he can always be restrained.

At that time, I don't know what choice this precious girl will make.

Just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a soft voice from not far in front of him: "Isn't this Brother Yun? Haven't you been serving the Eldest Master lately? But how can..."

Hearing the voice, it was Xue Baochai.

Jia Yun didn't dare to be negligent, she clasped her hands together and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, Auntie, I came here this time just at the orders of the Grand Master, and I want to invite my godfather to the Wangjiang Tower for a banquet."

Baochai was always thoughtful, and didn't want anyone to feel left out, so she didn't intend to talk to him. Hearing what he said, she nodded and said, "I see," and said that she would send a message for Jia Yun. , ready to enter the water pavilion.

But at this moment, suddenly a woman rushed over like the wind, and shouted from a long distance: "It's amazing, it's amazing! The third girl has become the queen mother!"

Chapter 963 The Days When Sun Erlang Was Not Around [Part [-]]

laugh……

Royal jelly mixed with various colors of spices dripped from more than a dozen strings of deer lips, and clouds of fishy-sweet warm mist rose from the fruit charcoal.

The servant of Yihong Courtyard accompanied the crane, covered his nose and mouth with a handkerchief, carefully turned the grill over, saw that the deer lips were already crispy, and hurriedly picked up a dagger made of beef leg bone——In the mansion There were two master-killing slaves [Mingyan, Qiuwen] in the mansion one after another, so the control of these pointed and bladed instruments was extremely strict. If not necessary, most of them were replaced by wood, bamboo, and bone tools in front of the master.

No matter how you carve the ox bone, it is no sharper than metal. Ban He managed to cut a slit on the deer's lip. Seeing that the color and fragrance were enough, he looked back and shouted: "Sao Hong, are you ready? The Wangwu official Qin Wang in the family pool was escorting us, while contacting our soldiers and horses of Da Zhou, under the attack from inside and outside, not only defeated the plot of the traitor, but also designed to trap and kill nearly [-] elites from the Chenla Kingdom."

"After the rebellion was put down, the crown prince successfully ascended the throne and became king, but he never thought that he was a lucky person. He died just a few days after he took the throne."

"Fortunately, he still has a concubine under his knees, so the third sister became the queen mother of Qianxiang Kingdom in such a muddled way."

After saying this, everyone sighed with emotion, but at the same time couldn't help secretly investigating the incompleteness of it.

Aside from other things, the prince of Qianxiang Kingdom "successfully died" and let outsiders control the government, which is too strange no matter how you think about it.

I don't know if it was Sun Shaozong's idea, or Jia Tanchun murdered her husband...

But such things, no one will say clearly.

Furthermore, whether the king of Qianxiang Kingdom is dead or alive, what does it matter to everyone?

"Come!"

After a long while, Feng Ziying suddenly got up from the banquet, held half a cup of old wine, and said with emotion: "I don't care about others, but first congratulate my second brother!"

Everyone agreed with a loud bang, toasted and drank for a round.

As soon as he was seated, Xue Pan grabbed the string of deer lips again, dipped them in spicy peppers, and said with a smile: "This is a queen mother and a prince. Brother Bao will have all the north and south in the future, and my old Xue also..."

"Brother Xue!"

Wei Ruolan hastily interrupted him, and took advantage of the opportunity to change the topic: "I heard that your General Administration Department will publish a new legal newspaper recently to collect cases in recent years for the study of local government and county schools?"

Because he had been a hard prisoner in prison for more than two years, he was much more cautious than others.

Others also knew that now was the critical moment for Yi Chu, and they didn't want to go into this muddy water, so they all asked about the legal newspaper.

It is rare for Xue Pan to show off in official affairs, so he put aside what he said just now, lit his cup and plate with chopsticks and said in a whisper: "This is also the handwriting of the second brother. When I went to the countryside to popularize the law... because I The relationship with the second brother, this errand fell on my old Xue... From now on, all the sores in the whole country will depend on me..."

Baoyu was listening to his eloquence when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiren wandering outside the gazebo, as if he had something to report, so he quietly got up and greeted him.

"Second Master, two messengers have come from Shuntian Mansion, saying that they are asking Mr. Wei to return to the yamen as soon as possible to discuss matters."

"Discussion?"

Jia Baoyu looked at the low-hanging sunset in the sky, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on at this time? Could it be that another big case happened?"

"It doesn't look like it."
