Detective in the Red Chamber

Now Shaozong Sun finally knew why Lin Daiyu was in a dilemma. She and Ping'er had been getting along since childhood, but she also recognized Ruan Rong as a god-sister. Isn't it a dilemma in this matter?

However, hearing Shi Xiangyun's words to run on her at this time, she had no choice but to agree, "Of course!"

Other than that, there is nothing else to say.

As I said before, concubines are also divided into three, six, and nine grades these days. The highest is the good concubine who is married by a bright matchmaker. such as.

Although after entering the door, the concubine's status still depends on whether she is favored or not, but if there are good concubines hired and matchmakers, they will always have a stronger waist.

That's why today, all the girls wanted to ask for a dowry for Ping'er.

At this time, seeing that all the girls were staring intently, looking forward to his response, Sun Shaozong couldn't help laughing.

He took out an object from his sleeve and showed it to everyone, "Thanks to me, I have already prepared the token, otherwise it would be as if I didn't intend to be pushed by you."

The girls saw something shiny and golden in his hand, but they couldn't see it clearly, and they were about to ask him to make it clear, but Shi Xiangyun grabbed it in his hand earlier in the morning, played with it carefully for a while, and suddenly said in surprise, "Ah~ that's it! She really looks like Sister Ping'er!"

Seeing her startled from behind, all the girls could not help stretching their necks, and Xue Baochai laughed and scolded, "You only care about yourself, and you still haven't handed things over to Ping'er!"

Only then did Shi Xiangyun come to a sudden, and quickly turned back to the pavilion, stuffed the thing into Ping'er's hand, and said with a smile, "Sister Ping'er, take it carefully, don't let anyone snatch it away."

In fact, Ping'er had already seen that the object was exactly the pocket watch that Sun Shaozong specially ordered for her back then, but when Shi Xiangyun stuffed it in her hand, the heavy touch still made her breathe heavily.

Tremblingly, he opened the pure gold case, and the clicking hands and the vivid head relief on the inside immediately came into the eyes of the women.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh in admiration, especially Jia Yingchun, who had been making soy sauce all the time, wished she could put her little head into the watch for a closer look.

He even murmured in his mouth, "This embroidered portrait is really unique, but I don't know which craftsman it is from?"

"I drew it myself."

Sun Shaozong spread his hands together, "Otherwise, the craftsman has never seen Ping'er, how could he portray it so vividly."

"It's actually..."

"Okay!"

Xichun was waiting to ask again, but Shi Xiangyun cut him off long ago, and said with a smile, "We've been worrying for nothing, why are we still here?"

As he said that, he dragged Xichun along and walked down the mountain.

Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Tanchun, and Xiren followed closely behind.

When Lin Daiyu passed by Sun Shaozong's side, she hesitated to speak, probably because she was not resentful of his flirtatiousness and wanted to defend Ruan Rong.

But because Ping'er was on the side, he couldn't say it, he just bit his cherry lip and bowed his head away.

Xue Baochai apologized and pleaded guilty, and then left hand in hand with Xiren.

Inside and outside the small pavilion on the top of the mountain, only Sun Shaozong and Ping'er were left facing each other in an instant.

Sun Shaozong grinned, and opened his two thick arms. Ping'er hesitated for a while shyly, and then shuffled forward a few steps, but he had already rushed forward and wrapped him in his arms.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

But when the girls arrived at the foot of the mountain chattering, two people suddenly appeared from the slope, and they rushed forward and asked, "What's the matter up there? Did Sun Erlang agree?"

I heard Xue Baochai say, "Sister-in-law is really worrying for nothing this time. Mr. Sun really knows how to cherish others, and he has prepared a token long ago."

But it turned out that it was none other than Li Wan and Suyun's master and servant who greeted them.

And this time, the reason why the girls came up to ask for employment for Ping'er was also Li Wan's idea - it's just that she is a widow after all, so it's inconvenient for her to come forward with the girls.

At this time, I heard Xue Baochai and I talked about each other, explaining clearly what happened on the top of the mountain, and asked about the appearance of the pocket watch.

Li Wan subconsciously raised his head to look at the top of the mountain. Although he didn't see anything, he refused to look away for a long time.

Although all the girls are not stupid, they are still young and have little understanding of the relationship between men and women.

Among them, Xue Baochai and Xiren were the only ones who vaguely guessed that she was putting others on the line and entrusting her yearning for a better home to Ping'er.

Xue Baochai was afraid that she would cause unnecessary associations with others after she had been so long, so she hurriedly stepped forward and shoved her with a playful smile, "We can make a fool of ourselves in front of outsiders, so we can't just forget about it—tonight, Sister-in-law has to be a host for the poetry club!"

Li Wan came to his senses, and he agreed with all his mouth, so all the Yingying and Yanyan went to Daoxiang Village, leaving only Xiren and Suyun at the foot of the mountain, so that they could take Ping'er's place when the time came. Send Sun Shaozong out.

It's nothing to attack people. The matter of Zuo Ping'er is settled. Baoyu is out in the wild again today. Isn't he idle there?

Suyun was a little restless, and couldn't stop looking up at the top of the mountain.

But for the sake of safety, a half-person-high stone wall was piled up on the top of the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, there was nothing else to be seen except the bright red square roof.

Suyun couldn't help but turn her head back and said to Xiren, "Sister, how long do you think we have to wait here before we are considered big?"

Seeing her like this, Xiren couldn't help laughing and said, "Look at how anxious you are, it seems that you are the one who is going to marry."

Suyun wished so, but unfortunately he really didn't have this chance.

Su Yun was annoyed because she had been stabbed at the bottom of her heart, and said ironically, "My sister is from the past, and she knows everything about this matter. Naturally, I am not in a hurry, but I never knew that this man and woman How long does it take to be relaxed in one place?"

"ah!"

Xiren blushed immediately, and stretched out his hand to say, "You little hoof, how can you say such shameless words?!"

Suyun also knew that she had broken her promise, so she hurriedly changed her smile and dodged backwards to beg for mercy.

The two of them were laughing and joking, when they suddenly saw a person coming with their sleeves waving, but it was a wonderful nun wearing a patchwork robe.

The two of them didn't care about bickering, they hurried forward to meet with Miaoyu.

Miaoyu put her hands together and said, "Did the two of you ever meet Mr. Sun? I heard that he was led to this place."

Looking for Master Sun?

Xiren and Suyun exchanged glances, both felt a little puzzled, but Miaoyu was only a guest in the mansion, so it was not for them to ask the truth.

So I had no choice but to briefly talk about Sun Shaozong and Ping'er's meeting at the top of the mountain, which is inconvenient to disturb at this time.

That Miaoyu was not in a hurry, she immediately said, "Even so, the poor nun just wait here."

As he spoke, he stood silently by the roadside.

Xiren and Suyun, who were so silent, did not dare to speak anymore.

So the three of them, like wooden stakes, poked at the foot of the mountain for about two sticks of incense, only to see Sun Shaozong coming down from the mountain, but there was no sign of Ping'er—presumably either he was ashamed to see people, or it was inconvenient to see people .

"Amitabha."

Miaoyu proclaimed the Buddha's name, and hurried up to meet her, but Sun Shaozong was stunned, thinking to himself that he hadn't figured out a perfect solution, why did this nun come to the door first?

"Master Sun."

Seeing Miaoyu said solemnly, "In the past you always said that you wanted to avoid suspicion, so you were not allowed to interfere in the case judged by Wei Tong, but now you are about to hand over the errand of Shuntian Mansion, so naturally..."

"Etc., etc!"

This nun is really a stalker, and even now she can't forget to help Wei Ruolan get rid of her grievances.

Sun Shaozong said speechlessly, "Although I want to hand over my errands in the administration of Shuntian Mansion, I will leave Beijing soon to suppress the rebellion. How can I find the time to appeal for Wei Ruolan?"

"It's not necessary to investigate in detail, my lord may wish to visit Mr. Wei first, and listen to him explain the details..."

"I don't think it's necessary."

Sun Shaozong interrupted him, "I have some ability to solve cases. In a short while, how can I be as good as the elders of Dali Temple who have worked for months?"

Without waiting for Miaoyu to say anything, he couldn't help questioning again, "Didn't you say last time that you didn't have that much thought for Wei Ruolan? But why are you like this..."

"Young Master Wei is kind to me."

What Miaoyu said was categorical, and then she added, "If one day, Your Excellency is imprisoned, Miaoyu will also try her best to run for Your Excellency."

"It's better not to have that day."

Sun Shaozong said in the middle of his mouth, "I really can't help you in this matter. Ms. Miaoyu should ask someone else."

As he spoke, he winked at Suyun, motioning her to stop Miaoyu, and then hurriedly saluted and walked away.

In the past, Miaoyu's beauty was somewhat attractive to Sun Shaozong, but now...

Under her patchwork clothes, there is really a 'sharp sword' hidden that can make a foolish lady's head fall!

Chapter 579 The Arc de Triomphe at the foot of Qiuming Mountain [2 in 1]

The wind suddenly blows up, and the vegetation breaks down.

More than ten riders deflected from the official road and drove into the stone-paved road. There was a dull sound of horseshoes before, and it suddenly became noisy.

All the knights were galloping silently, when one of them suddenly shouted, "Your Excellency, go ahead for a moment, let me get some snacks!"

After speaking, he turned the horse's head and ran towards the gentle slope on the left. After running about a dozen steps, he leaned over to fish the horse's belly, and there was an extra iron tire bow in his hand.

I saw him throwing the reins, pulling out the feathers from the quiver, but he didn't know how to aim, and the bow was an arrow.

Then he hung the iron tire bow back to the horse's belly, urged the horse to grab a fat and healthy deer, and then returned to the galloping road triumphantly.

But at this time, the ten or so riders could barely rein in the reins.

He returned to the team again, carelessly lifted the roe into the air, and said, "At noon, I roasted it in the general prison and ate it, so that I can make tooth sacrifices for my brothers."

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but focus on the leader Sun Shaozong, wanting to see how he would deal with this person.

However, Sun Shaozong did not express his opinion in a hurry, he still sat on the horse, scanning the people and beasts opposite him calmly.

On the contrary, Xu Shouye, who was at the side, couldn't hold back any more, and more people came out after knocking on the belly of the horse, and scolded sharply, "Han Bang! Do you still have rules in your eyes!"

"rule?"

The Han gang put the deer on the horse's back, collapsed his body, and said with a playful smile, "Xu Qianhu, which rule is the rule you mentioned? The court hasn't issued a decree yet." , we don’t seem to belong to you right now, do we?”

"you……"

Xu Shouye became more and more annoyed, and was about to continue to scold him, but was stopped by Sun Shaozong raising his hand.

After Xu Shouye stepped aside, Sun Shaozong looked at the Han gang, but he was quite speechless.

He originally thought that with his recent reputation and contacts in the army, he would be able to subdue this motley army smoothly.

Who would have thought that there is still someone who is not open-eyed, and wants to jump out and force him to show his prestige.

This Han gang is a hundred households in the patrol battalion. They are famous in the army for their good horsemanship and archery, but they are not stingy. Stay where you are.

Originally, Sun Shaozong didn't care about such a brainless reckless man at all, but now he was provoked face to face, so he had to cheer up to deal with it.

I saw him urging the horse to step forward slowly, and stared at Han Gang for a few more times, and saw that although this fellow still had his neck stuck and his face full of arrogance, the hand holding the rein and the iron tire bow was already gone. It's blue veins.

this guy...

Could it be that you still plan to do it yourself?

Sun Shaozong couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand in front of him, and said, "Bring me that bow and let me see it."

Han Gang was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he really couldn't find a suitable reason—even though Sun Shaozong had not officially become his boss, it was always a third-level official and a fourth-rank counselor.

That's it.

I still have a waist knife on the left and right!

Thinking in this way, Han Gang pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, and passed the iron tire bow forward, but he refused to hand it directly to Sun Shaozong, and stopped because he was still an inch away.

This is awkward!

No wonder even the patrol battalion, like a plague god, insisted on assigning him to himself.

Sun Shaozong didn't bother to talk to him too much, he reached out and took the iron fetal bow, and played with it back and forth.

Han Gang looked on coldly, and couldn't help sneering secretly, if this surnamed Sun wanted to imitate the story of Li Guang in the play and break his own bowstring to stand up, he would really be humiliating himself.

The bowstring of my own iron bow is twisted from a few fine silks, usually without the strength of [-] jin, it can't be pulled at all.

And if you want to tear it apart, at least you need a force of six or seven hundred catties to do it.

When Han Gang was disdainful, he suddenly saw Sun Shaozong make a weird movement - he grabbed one end of the bow with both hands, and then began to slowly squeeze towards the middle.

Could it be that this person surnamed Sun is crazy?

The bow body of my iron-bodied bow is made of wrought iron wrapped with beef tendon, cowhide, silk, hemp, etc. In terms of toughness, it is far superior to bowstrings.

If you want to destroy this bow body, not to mention the strength of six or seven hundred catties, even a thousand catties would be enough!

Thinking of this, Han Gang couldn't help but sneer again and again, just waiting to see Sun Shaozong's joke.

however……

The bow that was indestructible in his heart was in the next moment under his nose, slowly bending inward, bending again, and finally closed together abruptly!

That's not to mention, Sun Shaozong even put the hooks on both ends of the string together, twisting them into a twisted shape.
