Detective in the Red Chamber

Although he didn't dare and couldn't get close to the dragon chariot, he kept throwing all kinds of food and objects into the hands of the officers and soldiers.

But thinking about it, the vast majority of them have never been out of Hebei at all, and Sun Shaozong felt that it was not worth it for the common people.

As for Xu Shouye, Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian and the others, even though they missed the welcome ceremony, their merits were real, and they definitely wouldn't be missing half a point. They might even get some compensation and rewards for their absence from this victory.

"My love."

At this moment, the prince suddenly pointed to a restaurant on the left and said, "Look at who is upstairs?"

Sun Shaozong looked in the direction of his fingers, only to see a few women competing for beauty, poking their heads out and beckoning desperately regardless of their appearance, but the ones with teary eyes were not Ruan Rong, Xiang Ling, and Second Sister You. Three people? !

At the moment, Sun Shaozong waited for a roar to respond, but after all, he was on the dragon chariot and was surrounded by so many people around him.

Therefore, he could only wave his hand to them.

Seeing this, the three daughters became more and more excited, and chased along the balcony from the east end to the west end. If Qingwen, Yuanyang and other maidservants did not stop them, they would rush downstairs and follow Long Nian to the Taimiao up.

After passing the restaurant far away, Sun Shaozong still looked back reluctantly, but suddenly saw not far behind the dragon chariot, someone in a carriage was showing off loudly.

"Everyone, young and old, please pay attention, our general used this sword to kill countless barbarians like a piece of grass!"

"This sword is incredible. It weighs one hundred and two catties. It is a fierce beast passed down from ancient times. It cannot be subdued unless it is a mighty general..."

"Those ignorant barbarians are still waiting to resist the court's Tianwei, and they can defeat the sword of my general..."

The authentic Peking film, barbarian barbarians shouted, but Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes straight when he heard it.

The crown prince also saw the man, and seeing Sun Shaozong's strange expression, he smiled and said, "Your subordinate is an eloquent master."

"Don't dare to lie to Your Highness."

Sun Shaozong said speechlessly, "That guy's original name is Barley, but he is really an out-and-out Wuxi barbarian."

The prince couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then snorted, "Sure enough, he is a shameless animal. Although Aiqing encourages him, he can't trust him to his confidant."

He didn't need to say this, Sun Shaozong's heart was clear, but he still pretended to be taught, and respectfully responded.

While speaking, the majestic imperial city was vaguely outlined.

Sun Shaozong stood on the dragon chariot, overlooking the magnificent palace city, although he didn't say a word, he couldn't help roaring in his heart, "I, Sun Erlang, finally came back again!"

Chapter 614 Daily Life of the Sun Family [N+1]

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning, the light-transmitting window sills spread into the house, the uncle and sister-in-law in the brocade quilt finally switched from the mobile Internet to the China Unicom state.

Sun Shaozong originally wanted to change the series connection to parallel connection, so as not to overwhelm Jia Yingchun.

Unexpectedly, Jia Yingchun entangled him like an octopus, reluctantly pouring out the pain of lovesickness, apparently reluctant to let him go.

It's no wonder that Sun Shaozong has been back to Beijing for seven or eight days, but he didn't find an opportunity to come over to comfort him until last night.

Seeing this sister-in-law who has always been cautious in words and deeds, it is rare for her to become petty. Sun Shaozong propped his elbows on the bed and said with a smile, "Isn't the secret passage already repaired? It will be convenient for me to come and go in the future. I will neglect my sister-in-law."

Hearing the words, Jia Yingchun spat, and could not continue to entangle him, reluctantly let him go, stretched up half of her snow-white arm, and whispered to Xiuju to come in, ordering her to wait on Sun Shaozong to change clothes and wash.

"correct."

Seeing that Sun Shaozong had tidied up and was about to leave, Jia Yingchun hurriedly said, "I almost forgot the business. When I went home to see my uncle two days ago, my second sister-in-law specially told me that I had to take care of the general ledger a year ago."

Thanks to Wang Taiwei's blessing, the Sun family and Wang Xifeng's timber business has made a lot of money, and their capital and profits have been multiplied by six or seven times.

Even after deducting various expenses, the net profit is as huge as 50 taels.

But right now, the shipbuilding plan has come to an end. In order to avoid any complications in the future, it is the best choice to stop in advance and pay for both money and goods.

Since the partnership is about to be disbanded, it is also necessary to take stock of the general ledger.

However, Sun Shaozong had just come back after all, so he had to discuss this matter with his eldest brother first, to see if there were any gaps in it, and then decide how to deal with it.

Therefore, I first asked Jia Yingchun to be vague and perfunctory first, and it will not be too late to discuss this matter with Wang Xifeng when the side is determined to pay attention.

After that, it was unavoidable to have another round of tribulations.

After finally letting go, Sun Shaozong followed Xiuju to the outer hall.

Xiuju groped in the multi-treasure tree for a while, and saw the floor tiles at the corner of the wall moved left and right, revealing a one-meter-square hole.

Sun Shaozong climbed down the ladder, walked forward for about thirty feet, and reached the end of this secret passage.

Carefully lifted the lid that weighed hundreds of kilograms away, seeing no movement around, he quickly climbed out, and then quietly pressed down the big rock again for a while.

To say that the secret passage that elder brother just built a few days ago is really tailor-made for Sun Shaozong, and it is not because of his unparalleled strength that even if others know where the entrance of the secret passage is, it is extremely difficult for others to shake the ballast stone.

Because the entrance is in the small courtyard of the study.

Sun Shaozong walked around the house first, then went out of the gate as if nothing happened, and walked towards his small courtyard.

When passing by the small orchard, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but stop and poke his head to look in. While recalling Tong Ping'er's madness under the grape trellis, he wondered who was pretending to be Ping'er in the past few years. Write a letter to yourself.

Unexpectedly, when he looked around, he discovered something unexpectedly——in front of the grape arbor, there seemed to be two shadowy figures.

Is it...

Also a pair of wild mandarin ducks?

How can this be done? !

If a master steals fragrances and jades at home, that's definitely a romantic thing; but if it's someone else, it's definitely a crime or a robbery!

Sun Shaozong's face darkened immediately, and based on the principle of "only state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps", he quietly walked into the orchard, intending to see what happened first, and then decide whether to catch the adulterer on the spot.

But when he got closer, he knew that he was thinking too much—there were indeed two people standing in front of the grape arbor, but they were not wild mandarin ducks, but two young women.

uh~

It seems that they really are mandarin ducks - one of them is Jin Yuanyang, the housekeeper's maid, and the other is Qingwen who lives in Xiangling's room.

"Good sister, just help me this time!"

I saw Qingwen clasping her hands together, pleading repeatedly, "You know, I'm just such an uncle and brother, although I'm not very close, but I can't let go."

Yuanyang's face was full of intolerance and difficulty, but he finally shook his head and said, "Although we are now in the Sun's residence, the eldest wife is also surnamed Jia. The Rongguo residence just kicked them out. It’s just accepted, it’s really…”

Qingwen has always been a strong person, and she would not ask others to do so in a leisurely manner, but now seeing Yuanyang repeatedly refusing, she is unwilling to pester her any longer.

He just smiled bitterly and said, "It's because I thought it was too simple—forget it, my sister just pretended it didn't matter."

With that said, he waited to say goodbye and leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Yuanyang hurriedly called to her, quickly pulled the money bag from her waist, poured out some scattered silver, and stuffed it into Qingwen's hand, "I can't help with the other ones, you take the money, first Help that brother rent another house, and then see if there is anything good to make a living—if it’s not enough, I still have more than a dozen taels in the house.”

Although she refused to accept Qingwen's request, she was kind-hearted after all.

Qingwen's heart was warm, but she was not willing to accept her money, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand to give way.

You pushed and pulled a few times, a piece of silver accidentally flew out, rolled a few times on the ground, and burrowed into a flowerbed not far away.

Qingwen hurriedly chased after it, pushed aside two pomegranate clumps, and saw the shiny little thing lying under the root of the tree, she stretched out her arms to grab it, but she caught it with a big rough hand.

"ah!"

Qingwen screamed in fright, and stepped back a few steps, but suddenly saw a majestic figure standing in the bushes, but who else could it be if it wasn't Sun Shaozong?

"Second...Second Lord?!"

Qingwen became more and more stunned, but soon she woke up, turned her head and glanced at Yuanyang, and said with a flattened mouth, "I said my sister insisted on coming here to talk, but she actually made an appointment with the second master again."

The word 'again' immediately awakened that embarrassing memory.

Yuanyang couldn't help but said in embarrassment, "Don't be ridiculous..."

"Sister, what is there to panic about? I've never been a meddlesome person, and I haven't said anything in the past two years." Qingwen said, and wished Sun Shaozong a blessing, "Don't dare to disturb the second master's elegance, servant girl Go back and take care of the elder sister first."

As she said that, she didn't care what the mandarin duck wanted to argue, so she went like a willow supporting the wind.

As soon as she left, Yuanyang panicked even more. She shrank her head in front of her chest, and said falteringly, "Second...Second Lord, don't listen to her nonsense, I...I..."

Just as I was stuttering, a small hand was suddenly held by Sun Shaozong,

The mandarin duck was startled, and the Yingyu flinched as softly as a catkin, but got stuck on the scar on the tiger's mouth.

Feeling the ferociousness and roughness of the scar, Yuanyang forgot to struggle for a while, and blurted out, "What happened to the second master's hand?"

"what?"

Sun Shaozong was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that she was talking about the scar on her tiger's mouth, and said with a casual smile, "When I killed the first barbarian warrior, the tiger's mouth was shattered, and some scars were left later, which is not a big deal. of."

As he said that, he put the scattered pieces of silver on the palm of the mandarin duck, and praised, "It's rare that you are so clear about public and private affairs, and you can do both. It's really a waste of talent to be a housekeeper in my house. "

The little hand was held in the palm of Sun Shaozong, and he heard him praise her, Yuanyang only felt that his heart was in a mess, and wanted to break free again, but he couldn't exert much strength.

At the beginning, she was honest with Jia She, and even resisted to death, because she looked down on such a lack of ambition from the bottom of her heart.

But when she faced Sun Shaozong, who was unanimously recognized as a pillar of talent by the ruling and opposition parties, her unyielding arrogance softened unconsciously.

Especially a few days ago, the heroic appearance of Sun Shaozong riding the dragon chariot with the crown prince and going to the Taimiao to sacrifice to heaven still lingers in Yuanyang's mind...

At this moment, Yuanyang suddenly felt her hand loosen, but it was Sun Shaozong who took the initiative to let go of her wrist.

Feeling lost in Yuanyang's heart, she suddenly heard Sun Shaozong say again, "Recently, have you ever seen Ping'er?"

It's okay not to mention Ping'er, but when Ping'er was mentioned, Yuanyang subconsciously glanced at the swing in the grape trellis, her oval face flushed immediately.

He subconsciously took two steps back, but he stumbled and fell on his back.

Sun Shaozong was a little dazed by her surprise, and after reacting, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

Who knew that the mandarin duck's left foot landed on the ground, and its body turned sideways again?

"What? Did you sprain your ankle?"

Sun Shaozong hurriedly supported her, and said, "Find a place to sit down first, and take a while to see if you can still move."

The mandarin duck was ashamed and embarrassed, and Sun Shaozong pushed him to sit on the wooden plank in a daze, until he realized that his buttocks were swaying, and then suddenly realized that he was actually sitting on that swing!

She suddenly pulled the rope and stood up, and said anxiously, "I suddenly remembered, the matter that my wife explained yesterday has not been finished yet - please forgive me, the servant will leave first!"

Saying that, regardless of the severe pain from the ankle, he hurried out.

Seeing that her painful facial features were all shifted, Sun Shaozong was speechless, and rushed up a few steps, saying, "Okay, okay, the second master is not going to eat you, why hide? Just take a moment here, I'm going back."

With that said, he walked out of the orchard on his own.

The mandarin duck watched him go away in a daze, and the golden rooster stood alone for a while, then turned around silently and sat back on the empty swing.

Chapter 615 Daily Life of the Sun Family [N+2]

West Wing.

Qingwen pushed the door open and went in, and saw that the little maid, Rui'er, was holding a feather duster and pulling it on the table. She didn't move half a step for a long time, and she immediately scolded, "Little hoof, you Is this fooling the ghost again?!"

Said, stepped forward and snatched the feather duster, pointed to the door, and said, "Go, go, go to the small kitchen and tell me, the eldest sister has been coughing for the past two days, let them get some things to clear the lungs and reduce phlegm. Don't put messy ingredients in the soup."

Rui'er obediently obediently responded, and took a few steps to snatch the door away.

Hey~

This Rui'er was one of the little maids bought by the Sun family during the flood three years ago. She used to look like a very honest and responsible child, but after growing up in the past two or three years, she became more and more fond of stealing and playing tricks .

That is to say, relying on Xiangling's benevolence, she has always been a person who does not find fault with others, otherwise she might have been kicked out of the mansion...

Speaking of the word "drive out of the house", Qingwen felt a little melancholy again. Her brother's experience of being a mess is quite similar to that of Rui'er.

Thinking back to when Qingwen was sold to Lai Da's mansion since she was a child, and was later donated to Rongguo Mansion, when she gained support from Baoyu and wanted to find her biological parents, how could she find any news?

I only know that there is an uncle and elder brother named Wu Gui, who is good at cooking, but also fell outside, so he begged Lai everyone to buy Wu Gui to work in Rongguo Mansion.

This Wu Guichu was also conscientious and conscientious at the beginning, and with the help of Lai Da, he married a beautiful maid as his wife.

Unexpectedly, the good times don't last long, as soon as Wu Gui lived a stable life, he forgot the hardships of being homeless at the beginning, he was drunk every day, and even got a nickname called Duohunchong.

However, his wife is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. Seeing that he just eats wine and refuses to take care of the family, after persuading him several times to no avail, she simply indulges herself and recruits heroes and talents from all over the house.

In just a few years, half of the young and old men in the Rongguo Mansion were tested by her on their guns and sticks and handed in the white papers.

All the men in the whole family favored her for her kindness, but the servants were also offended by her a lot.

Qingwen's dignity was there before, but it was fine.

When Qingwen was sent to Sun's house and became Auntie's personal servant girl again, the situation of this stupid couple went from bad to worse.

However, he and his wife didn't know the depth of the relationship, and they sat down on a basket of bad things in a daze. They were finally kicked out a few days ago, and now they don't even have a place to live. street.
