Detective in the Red Chamber

I don't know how long it took.

In a daze, he felt that several hands were moving back and forth on his body, and he subconsciously grabbed one of them with his backhand. The delicate and smooth touch obviously belonged to a young woman.

How could there be a woman's hand?

And it looks like more than one!

Didn't he go back to the inn from the chief secretary's yamen?

Sun Shaozong barely opened his eyelids, and in the dim light, he saw a few strange and charming girls sitting beside him, stretching those white hands under the quilt, and wiping his body with a dry cotton cloth.

The three on the outside are fine, but the two on the inside are thin spring shirts. You only need to untie the thin belt around the waist, and you can walk around naked 'without care', looking like a standard foot-warming maid.

"You...you are..."

Sun Shaozong asked doubtfully, but his voice was hoarse and deep, even he himself felt it was harsh.

"Master is awake?!"

But hearing his broken gong-like voice, those women were all overjoyed. When someone brought a bowl of ginseng soup and carefully fed it to Sun Shaozong with a spoon, they explained softly, "Slaves, all In order to repay your life-saving grace, the gentry of Jinmen Mansion specially sent them to serve you."

Someone next to him added, "I originally offered a lot of money, but they were all rejected by Mr. Xiang, and only a few of us were left."

I see……

Although even if Sun Shaozong did not take action, these gentry may not be in danger of their lives, but it is inevitable for their wives and daughters to be insulted by others. For some people, this is more terrifying than saving their lives.

Therefore, it is very common to send a rich woman as a thank you.

Now that he knew the origins of these women, Sun Shaozong calmed down. Anyway, he really needs someone to serve him now. If he doesn't like it, at worst, he can send them back after he recovers from his illness.

He signaled the woman to continue to feed half a bowl of ginseng soup, and when her throat was moistened and her spirits improved, Sun Shaozong asked, "What time is it now?"

"It's just past nine o'clock in the evening at Xu time."

The woman who was feeding the ginseng soup was about to answer, when someone next to her rushed to say, "The master came back in the middle of the night last night, and he has been sleeping like a groggy, but the slaves are so anxious!"

The rest of the girls also hurriedly nodded along, putting on a look of sympathy.

Just after Xu time?

Doesn't that mean that I slept for a full ten hours?

Calculating according to the time, if the court sent someone over immediately after receiving the urgent report, it should almost be...

"Erlang? Erlang?!"

As soon as I thought of this, I heard a roar like a thunderbolt coming from the clear sky, and then the door was slammed open, and Brother Cheap rushed in with red eyes and a military uniform, with an anxious look on his face.

But when he saw the bed clearly, there were five or six beautiful women talking around Sun Shaozong, and he froze on the spot.

Sun Shaozong tried his best to straighten up, and said in astonishment, "Brother? Why are you here?"

"Special girl!"

Then I heard Sun Shaozu yell, "The dog who sent the message didn't speak clearly, and I almost didn't worry about death along the way!"

As he said that, he went up to sit on the bed with a big grin, looked Sun Shaozong up and down, and said in his mouth, "I heard that you were in Jinmen Mansion this time, and you killed dozens of rebels by yourself, and even killed a A third-rank standard? All right, you boy, you are worthy of being the seed of our old Sun family, this ability and courage are absolutely necessary!"

After all, it's just not serious!

Sun Shaozong had no choice but to ask again, and Brother Cheap said, "I heard that you were seriously injured. I was planning to take a few days off work to rush over, but the higher-ups just happened to send someone to escort the North Korean mission to Beijing, so they assigned this job to me." .”

The two brothers chatted for a few more words, and a girl at the side reminded cautiously, "Master, the master has been in a coma all day, and now he just woke up. I'm afraid that the time will be bad and he will be overworked."

"what?!"

Big Brother Cheap suddenly jumped up, and roared to the outside, "Where's that mother's doctor Hu? Could it be that he is a tortoise, and it takes half a day to enter the yard?!"

As soon as the voice fell, a soldier came back outside and said, "General, that Dr. Hu is vomiting so badly, let him in after he finishes vomiting his humble position!"

It turned out that Big Brother Cheap even brought a famous doctor from the capital.

"Brother, in fact, I just suffered some trauma and got a little cold, that's all, it's not a big deal."

Sun Shaozong casually comforted his eldest brother, and then changed the subject and asked about the current situation of the Criminal Department.

Sun Shaozu chuckled and said, "I heard that the kid surnamed Wei invited Bei Jing Wang Shui Rong to show up a few days ago, and he insisted on persuading Taiwei Qiu and letting Qiu Yunfei subdue him face-to-face. Completely empty you."

"However, before I left Beijing, I had someone tell Lin Delu about your great achievements in defeating the rebels. It's human nature to be with the red top and white, and a fool would choose this time to fight you!"

At the beginning, Lin Daiyu said "bear's skin and fox's heart", but she can only be regarded as a Xibei product at most, and the cheap brother is the real "bear's skin and fox's heart"!

By the way, the King of Beijing Jing is really out of style, right?

Children fight, how can an elder just end up... Well, it seems that he is not Wei Ruolan's elder.

But as a prince, participating in this level of "gladiatorial fight" still greatly deprives him of his status.

Especially that Shui Rong has always been a trouble-free person, but this time he suddenly set a precedent - is it really like what King Zhongshun said back then, that he has a disease of internal fear?

However, Sun Shaozong was thinking wildly here, but Brother Cheap suddenly waved his hand and ordered, "You guys go down first."

After the girls took the order to leave, they heard Brother Cheap said earnestly, "Erlang, you just need to recover from your injuries these days, and there is no need to rush the things we have discussed."

Negotiated things?

Sun Shaozong naturally knew what Big Brother Cheap was talking about, but he didn't worry about it at all, okay? !

Just as he was about to say something, Sun Shaozu said sternly, "We'd rather spend some time in the evening than force it. Otherwise, if a sick child is born, what should we do?"

"Furthermore, I just took this opportunity to lay the groundwork, lest that Jia's daughter rush into battle and cause trouble."

This is getting more and more detailed!

It seems that Brother Cheap has been thinking about this a lot on weekdays.

but……

"Big brother."

Sun Shaozong said helplessly, "I think we should take a long-term view. We brothers are going to go up. Why should we take the risk of ruining our reputation..."

"Bullshit reputation!"

Sun Shaozu glared, and said angrily, "Which family in the wealthy family has such a shitty secret? Don't say anything else, let's just say that in the Ningguo Mansion, there is a reputation for picking ashes and stealing uncles. There are people in Sijiu City." How many don’t you know?”

"There's also King Zhongshun, who loves to mess with men and women in a bed. I heard that he is in a good mood, and even the side concubine who has been ordered to be a serious concubine has to get out with the actors in the palace!"

"General Wu of the City Defense Battalion bought an outhouse two years ago, not far to the northwest of our house. Who do you think lives in it? It's his widowed nephew and daughter-in-law!"

"The right servant of the military department..."

"Dali Temple..."

Big Brother Cheap is very familiar with everything, and he said a dozen absurd things, and then he said angrily, "These people's futures have not been affected, let alone this thing was voluntary by me?!"

But the problem is that I don't want to...

Sun Shaozong thought this way, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, he just said awkwardly, "Our family doesn't have to learn from that bad thing, right?"

"how?"

Seeing that he still refused to submit, Sun Shaozu suddenly got up and said, "Are you going to make brother kneel down and beg you?!"

got~

It seems that this matter is not negotiable.

Even if Zhou Ruqing knelt on his knees for a year, Sun Shaozong would not change his mind, but it would be a world of difference to replace him with the cheap brother.

Even if you don't consider the kindness of nurturing that the 'original owner' has received, for more than a year, all the food and drink expenses are all dependent on the elder brother, not only did the elder brother not care about it, but he took care of it in every possible way!

This man's heart is full of flesh, and now Sun Shaozong has long regarded him as his own brother, but how can he bear his kneeling?

Chapter 258 To Be Married【Part [-]】

On March [-]th, the night was dim.

Ping'er came out of the room with half a basin of warm water in his hand, and poured it absent-mindedly, but someone in the darkness uttered an 'oops'.

"Who? Where is who?!"

Ping'er was startled, and quickly took the copper basin to protect himself.

But seeing a timid figure turn out from under the porch, he said embarrassingly, "Sister Ping'er, it's me."

"Second girl?!"

Ping'er took a closer look, but who else could it be if it wasn't Jia Yingchun who was about to get married?

She hastily put the copper basin aside, went up to meet her and said, "It's pitch black, why did you come here by yourself? You didn't even pick a lantern!"

Jia Yingchun lowered her head slightly to hide the panic on her face, and said, "There are only a few steps to the left and right, so there is no need to bother others—Sister Ping'er, is sister-in-law inside?"

Seeing her like this, Ping'er knew that the chess player probably caused some trouble again, so he wanted to mention a few words so that Jia Yingchun must not be caught by a maid.

But firstly, her own status is awkward, she is neither master nor servant; secondly, Jia Yingchun is going to get married soon, and then the Sun family will be the master for her.

So Ping'er hesitated for a moment, then pretended to be confused, stepped aside, and said with a smile, "Second Miss just go in, our grandma has already been waiting in the hall."

Hearing this, Jia Yingchun walked a few steps in, but her feet hesitated again, she turned her head and asked in a low voice, "I've been late for so long, sister-in-law, isn't she angry?"

But it turned out that after dinner today, Wang Xifeng sent someone over to call her over to 'chat about family affairs' at night.

When Jia Yingchun got the greeting, she originally wanted to call Siqi to leave immediately, but after a quick scan, she realized that Siqi had left the house before dinner, and so far there is no sign of him.

This is not a rare thing at first, after all, since that day when he was "refused to confess his feelings", Siqi has been wandering around all day long.

But this time it was different, because another big maid embroidered oranges and found that not only was there no sign of Siqi, but even a considerable part of the clothes and jewelry in the Siqi room were missing.

After Jia Yingchun got her report, and thinking about her remarks that day, Dang even almost fainted from fright, and finally regained her strength, so she hurriedly urged the maidservant to search around.

However, when the people around her had all packed out, she remembered that Sister Feng asked her to talk to her at night, and she couldn't find a spare lantern for a while, so she had to rush over in the dark.

Although she is a sister-in-law, Jia Yingchun has always been afraid of Wang Xifeng, so she came half a step late, and she was very nervous.

But Ping'er knew that Wang Xifeng called the two girls over today because she wanted something from her, and since she wanted something, he didn't care about these trivial matters.

So he smiled and said, "Look at what the second girl said, you are now a bride to be married, and the whole family has to take care of it carefully. Whoever our grandma is angry with, it is not easy to be angry with you."

As he said, he gave Jia Yingchun a slight push on the back, "Go in quickly, there are serious good things waiting for you!"

Jia Yingchun was relieved when she heard what she said, and was about to pick up the curtain to go in, but Ping'er suddenly grabbed her and asked in a low voice, "By the way, the second girl has news about the Sun family." Did you hear that the second master of the Sun family was injured in Jinmen Mansion?"

Jia Yingchun felt a little surprised when she suddenly asked about this matter, but she has always been a person who is more concerned about something than something less, so she didn't go into it, just shook her head and said, "I only know that Sun Shen will rush to Tianjin in a hurry. The door, the other side will not know."

"That's it."

Ping'er tried his best to conceal his uneasiness and disappointment, let go of Jia Yingchun's arm, watched her enter the living room, couldn't help clasping his palms together, and silently recited 'Amitabha, Buddha bless' a few times.

Don't mention how Ping'er worried about Sun Shaozong's safety in the courtyard.

But when Jia Yingchun entered the flower hall, she saw Wang Xifeng lazily leaning on the couch, wearing a loose purple dress with gold borders, and a pair of feet were stepping on the maid's legs, her whole body seemed to have Summer has entered ahead of schedule, and a charcoal-red fox-fur shawl is worn on the lower abdomen, and there is a little restlessness in the coolness.

Seeing Jia Yingchun coming in from the outside, Wang Xifeng immediately put those two long legs on the ground, and blamed three parts of his mouth, "Ping'er's little hoof is really getting more and more ignorant——Our bride My son is here, why don't you call me out to meet him!"

While talking, the snow-white feet that looked like tilian were only hanging on the shoes, and they didn't really step on them and stood up to meet them.

Jia Yingchun didn't dare to find fault with her, so she smiled shyly, "Sister-in-law is joking again", and then silently stopped talking.

Wang Xifeng knew her temperament, and she was never the one who would take the initiative. If she waited for her to start the conversation, it might not be possible to wait until the year of the monkey.

So he beckoned affectionately and said, "Quick, quick, come over and sit down and talk."

When Jia Yingchun sat down on the couch obediently, she pulled Jia Yingchun's arm again, rubbed it on the warm and jade-like little hand, and praised in a loud voice, "It's hard for our family to raise such a precious one, but The Sun's family has been cheaper early on, they are willing to be men, but I am really reluctant to be a sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law...what's the matter with sister-in-law?"

Jia Yingchun was used to being a little transparent on weekdays, and she was not used to her enthusiasm, so she smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Sister-in-law is really precious, I... how can I compare with sister-in-law."

Originally, it was just a casual remark, but later on, it was unavoidable to feel a little hurt.

After all, when Wang Xifeng got married, she had seen the beautiful scene with her own eyes, but now when it was her turn to get married, even if all the money in the box was exchanged for scattered copper coins, it would be difficult to compare with it in terms of weight.

As for other items, it is even more pitiful.

Thinking like this, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, her face would inevitably show some loneliness and embarrassment.

Wang Xifeng is the master who knows how to read words and expressions the most. How could she not guess what she was thinking, so she immediately sighed "Sigh, I don't know what the master and wife are thinking, so far I haven't bought a few decent dowry for my sister. "

As she said that, she secretly winked at the little maid who was beating her legs, and the little maid immediately retreated quietly.

After the maid went out, Wang Xifeng put her hands on Jia Yingchun's waist, and said seriously, "But don't belittle yourself because of this, sister-in-law, I will add a dowry to you, which is sure to be more expensive than other people's possessions." Get up, it's even more expensive!"

When Jia Yingchun heard this, she felt baffled and half-believed—it was not uncommon for a sister-in-law to add some dowry to her sister-in-law, but if Wang Xifeng would be generous, she would buy herself some precious things from the bottom of her heart. Do not believe.
