Detective in the Red Chamber

This……

Among the eunuchs, there are some eunuchs with strong testosterone and can grow a few beards, but these people are basically regarded as heterogeneous, not to mention that they are not qualified to serve the concubines in the palace, even being a handyman is easy Be squeezed out.

Even if Li Shuncheng is a maverick, there is no need to accept a 'different' as a godson, right?

"This is a nephew of my family."

At this time, Li Shuncheng also came over, with a hand stove wrapped around his elbow, and explained with a smile: "Because he looked filial, so he took him by his side and became a godson."

It was not a eunuch.

But the squeaky-voiced and groveling man just now looked more like an eunuch than Li Shuncheng.

The 'godson' was also very sensible, seeing that Sun Shaozong didn't seem to be talking nonsense with him, he quickly led the way and led the two into the courtyard.

As soon as I walked around the small courtyard in front, I heard the sound of silk and bamboo, and someone babbling and singing opera words.

When they turned around the veranda, they saw a stage set up in front of them, and several young girls in opera gowns, but not painted with oil paint, were singing in harmony on it.

And the women who played and sang next to her were brighter than those who sang operas in terms of attire, and they didn't know who was the master and who was the assistant.

Li Shuncheng nodded with his chin, and said with a smile: "They are all just bought from Jiangnan, but nearly half of them haven't seen any customers yet, why don't we take a look first?"

How can Sun Shaozong like such a vulgar fan?

In particular, he was born with a three-point contempt for the women in brothels.

So he immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "I've never been very interested in prostitutes. If there are good wine and food, I might as well bring out more."

"Ha ha……"

Li Shuncheng laughed: "Master Sun is indeed a mild-mannered person, since that's the case, let's go to the back and find a quiet place to have a drink."

The 'godson' immediately led the way and brought the two of them to a four-storey attic.

Five or six pots of silver-frost charcoal were set up in all directions, looking out from the window warmly, and seeing the bleakness of the midwinter, this scenery is not pleasing to the eye, but it is also a special taste.

The 'godson' arranged everything properly, and obediently went downstairs—there is a sling on the upper floor leading to the bell downstairs. If you need to order anything, just shake it and you will know it downstairs.

Sun Shaozong said with a casual smile: "The godson of the manager is really well-behaved."

Unexpectedly, Li Shuncheng grinned: "No matter how well-behaved he is, he won't enshrine me in the future."

As he said that, he picked up the jug and helped Sun Shaozong fill a glass, sighed and said: "Now pointing to me as a backer, I am naturally obedient. If I were down and out that day, I am afraid that I might not be able to cross the road of his house." threshold."

I never thought that when he was so proud of the spring breeze, he was still somewhat sober.

It's just that this can only be said by himself, but Sun Shaozong is not good at criticizing.

Just as he was hesitating how to change the topic, Li Shuncheng said seriously: "To tell you the truth, my purpose of hosting Mrs. Sun this time is to reminisce about the past, and secondly, to make some plans for the future."

What do you mean by that?

Could it be that he sees that he has a bright future, and wants to upgrade to a strategic partner in advance, so that he can collaborate internally and externally in the future...

"Master Sun."

Just as he was dreaming, Li Shuncheng suddenly pushed his body forward, stared at him with burning eyes and asked, "Nun Miaoyu, who practiced cultivation in Rongguo Mansion, should you be familiar with her?"

Huh?

Why did it fall on Miaoyu?

Could it be that……

He has already noticed, the identity of Miaoyu's "White Lotus Saintess"? !

Sun Shaozong's heart was beating wildly, but he heard Li Shuncheng say: "A few days ago, I was entrusted by the nobles in the palace to go to Mingjing Nunnery to offer incense, and I happened to meet Master Hui Ning of Mingjing Nunnery, and had a discussion with that nun Miaoyu on scriptures. .”

"At that time, I had an idea that if I could become good friends with such a wonderful person, Li Shuncheng's life would be worth it!"

Sun Shaozong: "..." 8)

Chapter 699 Inside and Outside the Palace【Part [-]】

Sun Shaozong used to think that eunuchs married wives and adopted children only for the sake of offering incense a hundred years later, or to show that they were no different from ordinary people.

Unexpectedly, this person without eggs also has the thought of "knowing lust, but Mu Shaoai".

But his eyesight, but there is a big problem!

Naturally, Miaoyu can't be picky about her appearance and temperament, but she hides a big secret, and if she marries Li Shuncheng, it will be revealed again...

The emperor and the imperial court might be able to figure out a big conspiracy to assassinate the king in a matter of minutes!

Don't say that Li Shuncheng's head will inevitably move. I'm afraid the palace will usher in a new wave of crackdowns - the crab drug case two years ago has already harvested a bunch of eunuchs and maids.

At that time, even the whole Rongguo Mansion, and even Jia Yuanchun himself will be greatly affected.

And how can I be spared as a middle-aged man?

Thinking of this, how dare Sun Shaozong promise him anything?

He hurriedly shook his head and said: "It's not that Mrs. Sun poured cold water on her. That Miaoyu has always been ruthless, and she is born with a fierce nature. There are few men in the world who can subdue her."

"What's more, she is backed by the Rongguo Mansion, and she is not comparable to an ordinary nun—there are so many good women in this world, so why should Manager Li be obsessed with her?"

These words were obviously persuasion, but secretly they were a bit boastful—Nun Miaoyu obviously had a crush on Sun Shaozong, but Sun Erlang didn't dare to touch the thunder.

But how did Li Shuncheng know the twists and turns?

Hearing Sun Shaozong talk about Miaoyu's nature, his face was a little oily, he rubbed his fingers excitedly, and said: "It is precisely this kind of woman who can strictly guard the door for me, so as not to make wedding dresses for others! "

"If she is willing to marry me, I will definitely pay respects like a Bodhisattva. Whether it's eating fast, reciting Buddha, or helping the poor, it's up to her! Even if she wants to continue living in the nunnery, it's up to her!"

tsk~

Hearing what he said, it is really a good deal for a nun to marry an eunuch.

The nuns don't have to be afraid of violating the precepts, and they have a stable financial backer.

And the eunuchs don't have to worry about the lack of a "fulcrum", and the hard-working wife will be "leveraged" by others.

If it was another nun, Sun Shaozong might agree.

such a pity……

"Ah~"

Sun Shaozong sighed, and said helplessly: "The general manager is so affectionate, it makes me feel embarrassed—forget it, now I have to tell you clearly, in fact, that Miaoyu and the second master Bao of Rongguo Mansion are very close to each other. For speculation."

"I just saw that the elder sister of his mother is pregnant with a dragon seed, and you want to pry his corner, this is probably..."

These words are not considered wronged Baoyu, he indeed has quite a flirtation with Miaoyu - in fact, there are very few women in the Rongguo Mansion who do not flirt with him, but not all of them are between men and women.

Hearing this, Li Shuncheng's face became cloudy and uncertain. He silently picked up his wine glass, took a sip of the old wine, and suddenly smiled and said, "I'm just delusional."

As he said that, he poured another cup by himself, raised his glass and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sun, for your reminder. Come, you and I have a full drink!"

Judging from this, it seems that the idea of ​​marrying Miaoyu has been dispelled.

However, Sun Shaozong observed his words and demeanor, but found that this guy hadn't completely given up - if Jia Yuanchun gave birth to the prince smoothly, it would be fine, if there was a disharmony, he might have trouble again.

perhaps……

Should I find a way to persuade Miaoyu to leave the capital?

Calculating in his heart, Sun Shaozong showed some embarrassment on his face, drank the wine in the glass, and said with his tongue: "Sir, don't thank me in a hurry, in fact, I have something to ask for here."

Hearing this, Li Shuncheng was not in a hurry to make a big deal, instead he said with a smile: "Master Sun is now in the royal family, but what can we ask for from our family?"

Just now it was 'me, me', and the mention of asking for help immediately became 'our family'.

"It's not a big deal."

Sun Shaozong said: "When I passed by Jinling when I returned to Beijing a month ago, several cousins ​​of the Zong family specifically confessed that they had some business and friendship with the Osmanthus Xia family in Beijing. Let me take care of them in Beijing."

Speaking of this, Sun Shaozong spread his arms and said helplessly: "This is the first time I see a few brothers, this trivial matter must be accepted."

When Li Shuncheng heard this, he immediately knew that it was Xia Jiatuo's relationship, and he found Sun Shaozong here.

The only reason why he didn't point out the suppression of Mingxia's family was to allow room for it in advance, so as not to tear up his face for others - as for the relatives in Jinling and so on, I'm afraid it's just a random excuse.

It stands to reason that Sun Shaozong is in full swing, and he has hookups with both the crown prince and the virtuous concubine, so selling favors to him at this time can be said to be of great benefit.

but……

Li Shuncheng was able to be the head of procurement this time, thanks to Zhongshun Wang Meiyan.

And he deliberately made things difficult for the Xia family, precisely because he wanted to lure out Princess Beijing behind her, and save Wei's face, so as to flatter King Zhongshun.

Seeing that the bait had already been cast, he suddenly gave up halfway...

Ding Ding Deng ~

Just when I was in a dilemma, I suddenly heard the sound of the stairs below, and then there was a shout from the godson of the family: "Master Sun, Lord Sun, the news just came from the palace that the Lord Long Live has awarded the order of the third rank to the sister-in-law, and the honored nephew also Got a sixth-grade background!"

The emperor had already mentioned the merits of Big Brother Cheap before, so it is not too abrupt to award the reward at this time.

So Sun Shaozong was still calm, just showing a somewhat reserved smile.

On the contrary, Li Shuncheng was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked why Sun Shaozu's wife and children were rewarded.

After learning that he had made military exploits outside the pass, he felt more weight in his heart.

In addition, until now, he has not reported this matter to King Zhongshun, and now that he has given up halfway, although he has lost the opportunity to flatter and make meritorious deeds, he will not hate the prince.

So Li Shuncheng laughed and said: "On this day of great joy, our family will also add a lot of glory—Master Sun, just tell the Osmanthus Xia family that with me, Li Shuncheng, there will be no loss of her family's benefits!"

After that, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

…………

At the same time, in the Concubine Rong's courtyard of Jingren Palace.

A little eunuch knelt tremblingly in the middle of the living room, his oval face, which was originally beautiful, looked a lot rounder due to the addition of several palm prints on the left and right.

"Miss!"

And Du Yue'e, the court lady who had just finished performing the punishment, also knelt down not far from him with a plop, "I was the one who was blind, and actually sent this wretch out of the palace, almost ruining my mother..."

"All right!"

Concubine Rong rolled up the long sleeves of her palace attire, and interrupted her impatiently: "What's the use of talking nonsense now? The one surnamed Sun is fine, he doesn't seem like a meddler, but Zhou Defu was used to Highs and lows."

"Miss."

Du Yue'e raised her head and suggested: "That Zhou Defu's lover entered the palace in the same year as the servant girl, if I ask her to help make a deal with some money..."

"inappropriate."

Ruan Rong categorically rejected Du Yue'e's idea, shook her head and said, "Whether this matter is big or small, if he handles it, how can we have a peaceful life in the future?"

As she spoke, she got up and walked back and forth in front of the two of them for a few steps, then suddenly turned her head and asked, "Where are the things you brought into the palace?"

The handsome little eunuch hurriedly took out a bundle from his bosom as if he had been pardoned.

Just as he was about to puff up his tongue like a spring, to show his hard work in finding this big size, Concubine Rong suddenly snatched it away, and said to Du Yue'e in a cold voice: "Continue to slap your mouth, if you don't knock out a few of his teeth today , use your own to pay for it!"

As he spoke, he wrapped the bundle in another layer of fine silk, called the maid next to him to carry it, and hurried out of the courtyard gate.

As soon as she left, the two kneeling in the hall unconsciously met their eyes.

"Good sister."

The handsome little eunuch forced a smile and said: "You have the most face in front of your empress, so please beg for a few words later, and this matter will be over."

As he said that, he couldn't help showing some nasty face, he licked his tongue back and forth on his lips, and said with a chuckle: "It's a big deal, wait for this matter to pass, I'll serve you..."

slap~

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Du Yuee slapped her face, she stared at him coldly and said, "My aunt is just using you as a chamber pot envoy, do you really think you are a man?!"
