Detective in the Red Chamber

As for the candidates to be sent to the south, they have roughly been drawn up. The Sun family is naturally dominated by Cheng Rixing, supplemented by the concierge of the Sun family, Liu An, and Sun Xi, the son of the family from Jinling; Laiwang, the boy, and two other confidantes stepped in.

In addition, considering that this transaction will last for two or three years, and the amount involved will become larger and larger through compound interest later on, it is inevitable that some people will be dazzled by the money.

So to be on the safe side, Sun Shaozong planned to store the principal in the hands of the Jinling Changfang—the left and right were in the south of the Yangtze River, and it would not be too late to go to Jinling to spend the money after the business was settled.

"correct."

After talking about the above details, Sun Shaozong added, "I'm going to borrow a few good carpenter envoys from Feng Xin—after all, it's a timber business, so there must always be a few knowledgeable people to follow."

This business has been led by Sun Shaozong from the very beginning, apart from raising the capital, Brother Cheap rarely asks anything about the business.

And compared to this, he obviously cared more about other things.

For example...

"Erlang, do you think I was mentioned in Jiang Yuhan's new play?"

"This one……"

Sun Shaozong thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The scenes he rehearsed seem to be in the government office and the scene of the murder, and there is no chance to show his face in our house."

The entire Sun Mansion didn't show their faces, so Big Brother Cheap naturally didn't have the chance to appear on stage.

"What a pity, what a pity! What a pity!"

Sun Shaozu sighed again, stomped his feet and beat his chest and said, "At first, I thought it was just a nonsense show in the palace, but I didn't expect to set up a stage in the Prison Temple-this great opportunity to become famous, I was stunned." I missed it for nothing!"

Seeing him blowing his beard and staring, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but smile, and quickly comforted him, saying that Jiang Yuhan plans to add or subtract to this "Sun Gong's Case" based on the performance's response in the future, and then ask him to add some roles. That's it.

While speaking, the two brothers had already arrived at the mansion.

After saying goodbye to Big Brother Cheap, Sun Shaozong rushed to the backyard without stopping. As soon as he stepped through the Moon Gate, he heard someone reciting poems in the gazebo in the northwest corner.

Looking at the reputation, it turned out that Ruan Rong and Xiang Ling felt that the room was too stuffy, so they took their son to enjoy the coolness in the small pavilion in the northwest corner.

"Why don't you add two basins of ice to the room?"

Sun Shaozong strode over and said curiously, "Didn't I specially ask people to prepare more last winter, did they run out so quickly?"

"It's not a good thing to always use an ice basin to relieve the heat."

Ruan Rong got up from the reclining chair, pointed to her son in the cradle and said, "It's okay for us adults. Yi'er has a layer of red bumps on his back. I heard the doctor said it was eczema. I'm afraid it's just messing with the ice basin." .”

After all, the ice basin is still not as good as the air conditioner.

Sun Shaozong occupied the reclining chair honestly, took Ruan Rong into his lap, and asked for a cattail fan from the nanny. While chasing flies and mosquitoes for his son, he said with a smile, "Actually, it's not bad to enjoy the cool outside, catch up tomorrow." Get a tighter curtain, and we'll just spend the night outside."

Xiang Ling at the side listened, with a longing look on her face, seeing her star-like eyes blinking, she probably thought of some poem again.

But Ruan Rong immediately shook her head and said, "Farewell, it's cold and dewy in the second half of the night, take a look at this little pregnant woman, what if you catch the wind and cold?"

When Xiangling heard this, she touched her swollen belly and nodded her head in a hurry.

"correct."

Sun Shaozong suddenly thought of something, so he took out a square handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, stuffed it into Ruan Rong's hand, and said, "I received a certificate today, just see what is written on it?"

Sun Shaozong settled the case all day, but it was the first time that he brought the "pleadings" back for his own review.

So Ruan Rong hurriedly called Pomegranate to hold the lamp, and looked at it word by word.

At first, it was nothing special, but it was just crying that he was persecuted by his relatives who were powerful, and he was almost reduced to a plaything, so he hoped that Sun Shaozong could help him.

But when I wrote this, the conversation suddenly changed, and I told him that after seeing Sun Shaozong that day, he was awed by his heroic spirit, and after a long time in my heart, it turned into a ray of love, which I couldn't shake off and kept cutting. , It is really inextricable.

Later, he implicitly stated that if Sun Shaozong was willing to rescue him, he would be willing to agree with him without asking for fame.

After reading it, Ruan Rong couldn't help but wondered, "This is the girl from that family, but she's just making a complaint, so why did she put her body on her?"

"I'm afraid the complaint is false, and it's true if you get on your body!"

Sun Shaozong told the whole story of Third Sister You's grievances today, and finally said with a smile, "The second Sister You is said to be the most timid and fearful, how could she write such a 'pleading paper' for no reason?

"In my opinion, even if this letter was not written by Third Sister You, it was the result of her repeated urging."

"The purpose, of course, is to hope that I can get this 'free pick-up', so that I can put some effort in front of Brother Liu and bring the two of them together to achieve a positive result."

I thought Ruan Rong would hate Nayou's third sister for messing around with her husband after hearing these words.

Unexpectedly, she was silent for a while, but she sighed quietly, "If you men fall in love with some beautiful woman and try your best to come up with many tricks, it's just a romantic story; If you take the initiative, is it that heaven and earth will not tolerate it?"

After a pause, she asked again, "Could it be that she is keeping her duty if she doesn't think of another way out for her sister, but allows her sister to fall into the hands of Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son?"

As a woman who had the courage to elope, Ruan Rong's perception of Third Sister You was obviously quite different from what Sun Shaozong expected.

Sun Shaozong smacked his lips and said hesitantly, "According to your opinion, I should really say something nice to Liu Xiandi in front of her?"

"I didn't say that."

Ruan Rong leaned her body into Sun Shaozong's arms, and said softly, "However, Mr. Liu often sleeps with flowers and sleeps in willows on weekdays, so I'm afraid it's a mistake, right? Besides, Mr. Liu once vowed not to marry a woman who is not a stunning beauty. Listening to the master's description, if Third Sister Nayou really deserves her honor, she is quite a good match with him."

Isn't this what it means to let yourself speak well for Third Sister You?

Sun Shaozong was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but tentatively said, "Second Sister You..."

Ruan Rong said indifferently, "If the master likes it, he can take it home. It's not up to me to influence the errands of jealousy in the future."

Since giving birth to her son, she seems to have become more 'magnanimous'.

As she was speaking, she suddenly let out another 'huh', raised her head and said suspiciously, "Didn't the master say that he only met Second Sister You in a hurry? How could he treat her without even saying a word?" Temperament so familiar?"

"This one……"

Chapter 366

Since it is decided to leave this matter to Liu Xianglian herself, it should not be too late - after all, no one can guarantee that the "big festival" of the You sisters will be kept under the watchful eyes of Jia Zhen and her son. how long.

So at noon the next day, Sun Shaozong found the vicinity of the Prison Temple.

Although "Sun Gong's Case" was sung on the fifteenth day, the stage for singing began to be set up two days ago. Liu Xianglian loves to be lively the most, so she has been busy working here for the past few days.

In fact, the prison temples are usually small temples built in prisons, which are difficult for ordinary people to approach.

The Prison Temple located in the west of the city used to be nothing more than this. During the period when the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, it was the exclusive temple inside the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

However, after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment chose another location. After several changes, the original prison was demolished long ago, leaving only this prison temple standing on the street.

It is also because of its special nature that when people in the capital mention the "Prison Temple", this is the first thing that comes to mind.

Speaking of which, in recent years, a lot of litigants have gathered here, specializing in all kinds of lawsuits. When Sun Shaozong settled cases on weekdays, he also encountered a few difficult ones.

The book is back to normal.

Sun Shaozong rode his horse to the vicinity of the Prison Temple, and went straight to the largest restaurant on the street, 'Wanghai Pavilion'.

Although it is a public singing, but what is Jiang Yuhan's identity?

How could it be possible to set up a stage on the street and let those mud-legged people comment?

Therefore, this stage is actually set up in the backyard of 'Wanghai Pavilion'.

He kicked off his horse in front of the tethering post, and before he could fasten his mount, Jiang Yuhan, Liu Xianglian, Feng Ziying, Xue Pan, Jia Qiang and others inside all received the news, and all came out to greet him.

"Brother grandson."

Jiang Yuhan smiled triumphantly and said, "I was about to invite Brother Sun to come and have a look, but I was afraid of delaying your official duties. It just so happened that you came today without invitation."

Sun Shaozong also cupped his hands and said with a smile, "To be honest, I'm here today, but I'm also here for official business-brother Liu Xian, someone came to me yesterday to complain, saying that you stole her things, but I don't know what happened. ?”

Liu Xianglian was taken aback when she heard the words, and then burst out laughing, "Brother don't lie to me, don't say that I am not short of money now, even if I am really short of money, I will definitely not do such shameless things!"

"really?"

Sun Shaozong pretended to be suspicious and said, "But that woman clearly said that you stole her heart and liver on the street that day. I heard her say that she has a nose and an eye, so it doesn't seem like she is talking nonsense."

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.

Xue Pan even grinned and said, "If it's anything else, it's fine. If the woman loses her heart, then brother Liu will definitely steal it!"

Everyone talked and laughed, and surrounded Sun Shaozong into the 'Wanghai Pavilion'.

Sun Shaozong first took a look at the stage whose foundation had just been laid, and then chose a spacious private room on the second floor, so that he could bring Ruan Rong and Xiang Ling to watch the play together.

After looking inside and out, Sun Shaozong bowed his head and confessed, "Brothers, please wait here for a while, and I will discuss the case with Brother Liu Xian in detail, and then come back and have a few drinks with the brothers." cup."

Everyone was stunned again, they thought the first few sentences were just gags, but now looking at the meaning, it turned out to be true!

But Sun Shaozong led Liu Xianglian, who was full of brows, to the private room on the second floor and sat down with each other, and then he explained the matter of Third Sister You in detail.

After Liu Xianglian finished listening, she opened her mouth wide open for a long time before asking, "Then is Third Sister You truly stunning?"

"Naturally."

"She is really a big festival now, and she is willing to guard for me for the rest of her life?"

"It's true too!"

slap~

After the two serious questions in a row, Liu Xianglian suddenly slammed her fist on the table, and said without hesitation, "Then what else can I say? Brother, take me to see each other. If you don't agree with each other, you don't agree with me." I'm not bad either!"

This stuff really makes sense...

But think about it, he is already a veteran of flowers, what's the big deal about going to see a girl?He didn't say that as long as they meet each other, they must marry Third Sister You!

but……

Sun Shaozong reminded again, "Don't you think it's too utilitarian for her to encourage my sister to write a 'complaint' to me in an attempt to win me over?"

Originally, according to Ruan Rong's intention, she should say something nice for Third Sister You, but Sun Shaozong sincerely looked down on Third Sister You's act of betraying her relatives for her own happiness.

"Second brother."

Liu Xianglian said indifferently, "Aren't you being too self-effacing? What's so surprising about a woman being fascinated by your heroism? If I were a woman, I would definitely like a good man like you!"

"That's not the case. Why is Second Sister You willing to be a concubine, but Third Sister You appointed to grow old with me?"

uh~

There seems to be some truth in this statement. Why can only a little boy like Liu Xianglian make a woman fall in love at first sight?Could it be possible that a pure man like himself can charm a few innocent girls? !

Of course, the difference between being a concubine and being a wife mainly depends on the status gap between a man and a woman. Liu Xianglian is just a prodigal talent, and marrying a woman from a middle-class family is not considered condescending.

However, Sun Shaozong, who is so dignified at a young age, will definitely not marry Second Sister You as his main wife-if it is a sequel, then it is another matter.

But seeing that Liu Xianglian had already made up his mind, Sun Shaozong said, "Since you have said so, I will send people to You's house to inquire and see when it is convenient to come to see you."

It stands to reason that this look should also be to ask the female elders of the Liu family to look at it, and there is absolutely no reason for the man to go there directly-but Liu Xianglian's parents died early, and Third Sister You took the initiative to say that she would give her body to each other. Isn't it just asking for trouble?

It's just that Sun Shaozong made a final decision, but Liu Xianglian hesitated again, and said, "Brother, it's nothing else, this big festival is not a loss, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it-brothers can do other things, but they can't do that." Turtle Wangba!"

The virginity complex is quite normal in these years, so Third Sister You has repeatedly stated that she is "good luck" in front of Sun Shaozong.

So when Liu Xianglian said this, Sun Shaozong said casually, "Left and right are the business they are rushing up to. Tomorrow, I will quietly send an official media to see if it is complete. It is not too late for us to go there and see each other." .”

"That's the case."

Liu Xianglian got up and bowed to Sun Shaozong to the end, "Then I'll have to worry about this matter, brother."

The two immediately went downstairs and had a drink with everyone without mentioning it.

Just saying that Sun Shaozong returned to the government office, he quietly called Zhao Wuwei and ordered him to lead two official media to You's house to check his virginity.

When I arrived at the government office the next day, I received a private report from Zhao Wuwei, saying that the two sisters were indeed still intact, and had not been touched by Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son.

Only then did Sun Shaozong make another appointment with Liu Xianglian to go to You's house to meet each other at Xiangwu the next day—both to see Nayou's third sister and Nayou's second sister.

Ruan Rong doesn't care much about the left and right, if the third sister You is really a 'good concubine', she can't help but take advantage of the situation, and it can be regarded as saving her from the sea of ​​suffering.

Chapter 367

To say that Third Sister You has always been a maverick, especially when it comes to dressing.

For example, when Jia Zhen celebrated her birthday a few days ago, who inside and outside the Ningguo Mansion dressed up for the celebration?But she insisted on wearing 'filial piety' white, laughing and cursing in front of Jia Zhen without changing her color!

But today, she really can't act independently.

After washing and grooming in the morning, I rummaged through the closet, picking up the gorgeous ones that are afraid of vulgarity, and the light ones that are too cold, and I couldn't choose a dress that I wanted for a whole hour.

Hey~

In that government office two days ago, I really should have asked Liu Lang what he likes on weekdays!

Distraught, she rolled up those clothes and stuffed them back into the cupboard. Third Sister You sat heavily on the bed with her two shapely and slender legs bare.
