Detective in the Red Chamber

"Girl, you didn't see it."

I saw her roll up her cuffs and fold her hands in mid-air, making a circle as thick as a bucket, "Then Captain Sun's arm is so thick, with only one thigh, I'm afraid it can hold up to the second master of our family treasure!" Measured!"

But it turned out that Daiyu sent Zijuan to serve her, although she meant to be considerate to Ruan Rong, but the main purpose was to see what kind of person she was born to be a sister with deep affection for her.

Hearing Zijuan's exaggerated description, she silently put together something in her heart, and suddenly frowned and said, "From what you said, isn't Captain Sun somewhat similar to Brother Xue?"

Xue Pan left a very bad impression on Daiyu, he could be said to be a filthy substance like mud. When the two are connected, one can't help but hate the house and black, and feel very worthless for her sister Ruan Rong.

"Young Master Xue?"

Zicuckoo was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly shook her head like a rattle, and anxiously said, "How can this be the same?! Apart from being arrogant and unreasonable, how can that stupid overlord look like a overlord? On the contrary, this Duwei Sun is aggressive and aggressive. Man, there is really some shadow of the Overlord of Chu."

As she said that, she lowered her voice a little shyly, and whispered, "To tell you the truth, Lieutenant Sun made his gown swell with every movement, as if the inside was not wrapped in flesh, but pieces of iron ingots." Yes! I heard Miss Rong talk about his fight with the thieves yesterday, I thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems to be true."

"Chu Overlord..."

Lin Daiyu muttered these three words, and pieced together in her mind the picture of "Sun Shaozong hugging Ruan Rong affectionately, chatting and laughing, the gang of thieves are invincible", and she became a little crazy for a while.

After a while, Daiyu couldn't help herself and replaced Sun Shaozong with Baoyu—however, she couldn't think of the heroic appearance of "Jia Bawang is unstoppable, killing the group of thieves in an instant".

If I and Brother Bao really encountered such a situation, I'm afraid it would be more reliable to run away hand in hand?

Thinking in this way, Daiyu couldn't help laughing and leaning back and forth.

Zijuan was by her side, but she couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed, but she hadn't seen Daiyu smile seriously for a long time - just by laughing out loud, she recognized her worth as a godmother.

Chapter 16 Sister Lin sees through the secrets, Jia Yucun visits the government office at night

For two days in a row, Sun Shaozong accompanied Jia Lian to travel around, and he really helped him carry a lot of trivial matters, and he was also proficient in dealing with people and things, which was more appropriate than Jia Lian's handling, not like a 19 Aged young warrior.

After this incident, Jia Lian's evaluation of him was naturally raised again, and his attitude changed from the enthusiasm of meeting old acquaintances in other places to the intimacy of sincere friendship-although these two attitudes carry the word "hot", they are It's really not the same.

It was also because of this that the first and last things that were originally scheduled to take five or six days to be processed were completely cleaned up by the afternoon of the third day.

So Jia Lian took Sun Shaozong to drink another "relief from fatigue wine", and while he was [-]% drunk, he announced his decision to leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning.

Although the whole family had been prepared for a long time, they still had to be busy for a while——Sun Shaozong sneaked away from his busy schedule and led Ruan Rong to wander the streets.

Ruan Rong originally wanted to take Daiyu to go out together, and by the way, she also let her extremely intelligent god-sister to see the character and appearance of her lover, so that she would not have to speculate all day long.

But although Daiyu is not sticking to secular etiquette, after all, she is in mourning period, and it has not been a hundred days. How can she show her face in front of people wearing sackcloth and emphasizing filial piety?

I had no choice but to reluctantly refuse, and said that it would not be too late to see my 'brother-in-law' again when I boarded the ship tomorrow.

But Sun Shaozong took Ruan Rong out of the official office, talking, laughing and fighting all the way, completely ignoring the eyes of others.

The two first visited the Slender West Lake, and then went to Daming Temple to worship the Buddha. Seeing that Ruan Rong was a little tired, they found a small shop selling dried spiced tea by the river, sat by the window, and tasted delicious snacks while wandering. chatting.

Although Ruan Rong has the heroic spirit unique to Qianxiang women, she still eats like a lady, eating without showing her teeth, chewing carefully, and in Sun Shaozong's eyes, she is even more flattering.

She couldn't help thinking in her heart, she had cheated her little hand that day, but she didn't know when she would be able to coax her crimson lips to open slightly and breathe freely.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw that Ruan Rong was poking the dried tea in the plate with her chopsticks, her face was hesitant to speak, and there was a little sadness between her brows.

Seeing this scene, all the filthy thoughts in Sun Shaozong's heart disappeared immediately, he stretched out his hand to hold her catkin, and asked with concern, "What's the matter, are you feeling homesick?"

Ruan Rong shook her head first, then bit her cherry lips, then nodded again, and said hesitantly after a while, "Brother Sun, those assassins back then...are they all from Zhen Kingdom?"

Sun Shaozong's heart trembled when he heard the words, and he knew that the key point of her words was the word "really" that was swallowed back halfway through her words-obviously, she had doubts about the origins of those assassins!

It's just that during this journey, the two of them recalled the past several times, but Ruan Rong was not even a little bit suspicious, but now they suddenly pointed out this point, which is really strange.

Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, and had some guesses in his heart, but he was not sure, so he lightly rubbed Ruan Rong's palm, and said with a smile, "We will stay together forever in the future, what kind of self-deprecation can't be said, Do you still want to be so hesitant and secretive?"

Ruan Rong was a person who couldn't hide things in her heart, so she was so excited that she hurriedly recruited everything "Last night, I chatted with Sister Lin, Daiyu saw that there was no one around, she suddenly pulled me and said that she had been thinking about it for two days , I feel that the actions of those assassins are quite strange, as if they deliberately planted the country of Zhen, maybe... maybe it is a trick set up by our Qianxiang country, in order to let Da Zhou support Qianxiang to annex the country of Zhen! "

tsk~

Sure enough, Lin Daiyu saw the flaw!

Ruan Rong has been staying in the back house recently, and besides Daiyu's master and servant, she has seen no one else—but considering Daiyu's age, it is really unbelievable.

Looking at it now, this Lin Daiyu deserves to be the master who has the halo of the protagonist. She has a seven-aperture exquisite heart at a young age, which is more meticulous and alert than the minds of many adults.

I don't know what kind of characters are Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu who are as famous as her?

Just as he was feeling emotional, Sun Shaozong suddenly felt the back of his hand tighten, but it was Ruan Rong who clenched it back, and asked nervously with a sullen little face, "Sister Lin can see the tricks in it, Da Zhou Not to mention the abundance of talents in the court, if someone sees a flaw, the two countries will not fight because of it?!"

Sun Shaozong couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and burst out laughing.

No wonder she was so hesitant just now, she was worried that the two countries would start fighting, and she would be caught in the middle!

Originally intended to tease her a few more words, but seeing that her little hands were clenched blue from nervousness, he couldn't bear to tease her any more.

So I just reached out and squeezed her face lightly, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's so easy to start a war between countries? Besides, there are Mongolia and Mohe in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are Japanese pirates and pirates in the south." The barbarians are ravaging the sea, and there is no way to deal with your Qianxiang country."

After Ruan Rong heard it, she still looked a little confused, so Sun Shaozong had to break it apart and knead it finely, and poured his thoughts into her little by little.

Seeing that the smile on Ruan Rong's face resumed, Sun Shaozong was relieved this time, and just picked up the teacup to moisten his throat, when Ruan Rong giggled and said, "Brother Sun, your remarks are more important than Sister Lin's analysis. It's much more thorough—hmph, I'll see if that girl dares to underestimate people after I go back."

Since she and Lin Daiyu are as close as glue and paint these days, Daiyu will not underestimate her. In this way, Ruan Rong's dissatisfaction should be grievances for Sun Shaozong.

tsk~

It is estimated that Lin Daiyu thought that he had been kept in the dark by Qianxiang, so her words showed some contempt.

Thinking of his IQ, he might be despised by an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. Sun Shaozong smiled, but he didn't care about anything. He brushed Ruan Rong's nose casually and said with a smile, "Okay, Is it an honor to compare my knowledge with a little girl?"

Ruan Rong thought so too, her lover is a majestic man who shocked even the Emperor of Zhou, how can he be compared with a yellow-haired girl?

But thinking about it this way, after she went back, she still couldn't help showing off her lover's great wisdom in front of Daiyu.

But they said that the two went around in and out of Yangzhou city, visited all kinds of scenery, tasted all kinds of snacks, and when they returned from their excitement, the sky was already dark.

After entering the corner gate, Ruan Rong excitedly went to look for Lin Daiyu to "break off". Sun Shaozong originally wanted to go back to his guest room, but on the way, he saw the bright lights in the small living room in the backyard of the government office. It seemed that Jia Lian was having a banquet.

It's such a big night, especially if you have to leave early tomorrow morning, but where are the guests coming from?

Out of curiosity, he poked his head around and took a few more glances, but he was caught by Xing'er, a boy next to Jia Lian, who came up to him from afar, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, My second master Lian was still talking about you just now, and you just came back by coincidence—please come inside!"

In the past few days, Sun Shaozong had already gotten used to hanging out with a few servants, so he didn't bother to ink with him. He touched the living room with his chin and asked, "But what kind of distinguished guest is here?"

"What kind of distinguished guests can be called there."

Na Xing'er curled his lips, and said disdainfully and proudly, "Jiayu Village was originally just a shabby settlement, but later Baba joined up with our Jia's family. With the help of my second master and uncle, I managed to find a prefect of Jinling." Unexpectedly, in the past few years, he has climbed to the rank of the Grandfather of the Wang Family, and he is about to be promoted to the Prime Minister of the Shuntian Mansion—no, now he is rushing here again, insisting on entering Beijing with my Second Master!"

Chapter 17

The magistrate of Jinling is a fourth-rank official position, and the prime minister of Shuntian Prefecture is also a fourth-rank official, and he has also changed from a Zhengyin official to a deputy. It seems that the real power seems to have shrunk greatly—but these days, the officials in Beijing are pure and noble, even if the Shuntian government officials only He could barely be regarded as half a Beijing official, but in the eyes of the people at that time, he still deserved the word "Gao Sheng".

But it is such a beautiful thing that makes the officials of the world envy, in the eyes of the Haonu of the Jia Mansion, they are still disdainful and jealous. If relatives and friends praise each other, Jia Yucun will be inferior to shit!

tsk~

Sun Shaozong finally knew what is meant by "a dog's eyes look down on people", and he thought that these little servants might have arranged the Sun's family less often, so naturally they became less close to him.

But because of Jia Lian, it's not easy to show off Xinger's face.

So he just responded indifferently, and walked towards the living room.

Since Jia Lian mentioned him in front of Jia Yucun, presumably he meant to bring the two of them together for a meeting—and besides, since they are going on the road together, it is better to meet up early than late.

But when he got to the door of the living room, he heard someone inside say vividly, "The abbot of Jiming Temple didn't like the hut being pickled, so he went to the back garden in the dark to pay his respects. Who would have thought that the tip of a bamboo shoot pierced his buttocks with his old eyes? It hurts." Hearing the sound, the little novice could not help clapping his hands together and said Amitabha, what a retribution!"

Before he finished speaking, Sun Shaozong had already rushed to the door, and saw a middle-aged scholar in the hall clasping his palms together, his face was half-surprised, half-joyed and panicked, just like the man who had just solved the hatred of the back court, but was afraid that the Buddha would blame him Little Shami.

This excellent performance of singing, reciting, and fighting naturally caused Jia Lian to burst into laughter, and said straightly, "What a retribution, what a retribution!"

Sun Shaozong only paused for a moment, then crossed the threshold with a smile, and joked, "I don't think it's some kind of retribution, it's clear that the old monk doesn't have enough ostentation, if he can be like your second brother Lian, he will have a lantern if he pays respects." According to it, where will there be such a calamity?"

Seeing that it was Sun Shaozong who came in to talk to Jia Lian, he couldn't help but smile a little more cheerfully. He stood up and poked him with his finger, and scolded him with a smile, "I don't like the joy of the heart, Erlang don't want to put the shit bowl on me!"

As he spoke, he affectionately pulled Sun Shaozong to the table, and introduced him to Jia Yucun, "Brother, this is Erlang of the Sun family. His family and Rongguo Mansion have been friends for several generations."

He also pointed to Jia Yucun and said, "This old brother is also from the same clan of my Jia family. His double name is Yucun. Erlang hastened to meet him."

Although Jia Lian yelled "big brother" and "old brother", in his speech and demeanor, he obviously didn't think much of Jia Yucun. Compared with what the boy said before, Sun Shaozong also had to sigh in his heart that he really had his own reasons. Then there are servants.

He felt emotional in his heart, but his face was like a spring breeze blowing with a smile. He cupped his hands at Jia Yucun, and reported to himself, "I've seen Jia's Mansion Terrace in Xiasun Shaozong."

Then Jia Yucun also heard about Sun Shaozong from Jia Lian. If one were to talk about his identity and background alone, Yucun did not pay attention to the "shabby household" of the Sun family. With a terrifying heroic spirit, he dare not underestimate him.

So he hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and said with an affectionate smile, "This is a family banquet. Why do you need to be so polite when you are all from your own family? Come on, brother Sun Xian, please take a seat quickly, and tell me about the customs and customs of Qianxiang Country. Let Yucun gain more knowledge and talk more."

Sun Shaozong said, "Don't dare", and sat down with the two of them, and exchanged cups for a few cups.

It didn't take long for Sun Shaozong to see that Jia Yu Village Committee was really a character, and he took the initiative while talking and laughing.

Most of the topics on the wine table were initiated by him, sometimes witty remarks, sometimes dirty but not obscene, but he always left room for Jia Lian to show off, taking advantage of the opportunity to put a high hat on Jia Lian's head, but he was ambiguous in his words. There is not much flattery, low-key attitude, and his sense of propriety is really admirable.

In addition, Jia Yucun's views on officialdom, people's livelihood, and current disadvantages are also somewhat unique. It can be seen that he is not only good at communication, but also has a lot of troubles in his chest.

Sun Shaozong recalled that among the officials he had met these days, it seemed that only Ruan Fuzhong, the prime minister of Qianxiang Kingdom, was comparable to him—it was ridiculous that the slaves of the Jia family regarded such a person as a "shabby household"!

"Brother Sun."

I was despising that slave in my heart, but I heard Jia Yucun's half-joking and half-serious persuasion: "Based on your knowledge, being a martial artist is really a waste of talent. If you have the opportunity, you might as well switch to a civilian job. I think you will have to do it in the future." Can make a difference!"

But it turned out that when Sun Shaozong was criticizing Jia Yucun, why wasn't Jia Yucun weighing Sun Shaozong?

At this time there were three people at the banquet, although Jia Yucun took the initiative, coaxing Jia Lian to dance with his words like a marionette.

However, Sun Shaozong was still able to guard his own world without being humble or arrogant, and he talked about people's livelihood and political affairs with substance, which was not like the rhetoric of young people nowadays.

At such an age and such a character, the four words 'the future is boundless' are really appropriate to describe!

Therefore, Jia Yucun couldn't help feeling three-point jealousy and seven-point love for talents, so there is this saying.

Sun Shaozong smiled when he heard the words, and was about to say something, but Jia Lian beside him shook his head, "Brother Yucun, this is your fault. With Erlang's martial arts, it would be a pity not to use his fists in the army! You should Who is as happy as you to spend time on that copybook?"

"Ha ha……"

Jia Yucun slapped himself on the forehead lightly, and laughed, "Blame me, blame me, just thinking about Shao Zong's knowledge, but forgetting that he is still a fierce general—forget it, let me punish myself with a cup of apology first." !"

The wine drank until the third watch.

Jia Lian was drunk again, Sun Shaozong and Jia Yucun called servants, carried him back to the residence like a dead pig, and staggered out of the living room.

Along the way, the two walked side by side hand in hand, and the rumors were so drunk that they didn't know what they said.

When they arrived at the guest room in the northwest of the official office, because the two were not in the same yard, they said good night to each other, and each was supported by others, and stumbled towards their own residences.

But Sun Shaozong walked more than ten steps away with Feng Xin's support, and subconsciously looked back, but he didn't want to meet Jia Yucun's eyes, and his four eyes were shining brightly, full of inquiry , but how can there be any drunkenness at all?

The two of them couldn't help being taken aback, and then they laughed at the same time.

After laughing for a long time, they cupped their hands in the distance again, and walked towards their respective guest rooms again—this time, there was no sign of faltering under their feet.

Chapter 18 Set sail

Early the next morning.

Jia Lian was still hungover, so Sun Shaozong did it naturally.He became the commander-in-chief of the whole family, first stuffed a lot of luggage and sundries into several carts, and then ordered people to go to the backyard to ask the female relatives to set off.

During this period, Sun Shaozong secretly took a look at Lin Daiyu's luggage, remembering Jia Lian's drunken talk that day, seeing that Guo Guo was as shabby as he thought, he couldn't help sighing.

As the saying goes, "One hundred thousand snowflakes and silver from the magistrate in three years of Qing Dynasty", this Yandao yamen is the first-class fat in the world, and it is more than ten times better than the magistrate?

No matter how honest Lin Ruhai is, he still has a hundred and one hundred thousand taels of silver, but now there are only these worthless sundries left—combined with Jia Lian's drunken confession that day when he confessed that he was sorry for Daiyu, the money was worthless. The whereabouts can be imagined.

"Why did Shao Zong sigh?"

At this moment, Jia Yucun's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Sun Shaozong was stunned, and hurriedly turned around and said perfunctorily, "Master Lin is such a clean and honest official, but unfortunately died young, isn't it a pity?"

"Ah~"

Jia Yucun also sighed to himself, and said with emotion, "Brother Ruhai is really a talent in the world, but he didn't expect the sky to be jealous of the talent, so he just passed away like this-fortunately, there are noble relatives from the Rongguo Mansion, otherwise things will happen after the death." It’s good to have no one to take care of me, how can my lonely female student be born?”

Noble relatives are actually very expensive relatives!

Hearing Jia Yucun's special emphasis on the word "noble relative", Sun Shaozong knew that the old fox had already seen the clues, but he praised the Rongguo Mansion in every sentence, and he couldn't find a single omission. He was really extremely cunning.

Not long after, a woman came out and yelled, "The girls are coming out, please avoid the idlers!"

Sun Jizong consciously led Feng Xin back to the side, but when he thought of Daiyu, he couldn't help being curious, so when the female relatives went out to get in the car, he couldn't help but take a look.

Beside Ruan Rong, there was a small person who was thin and skinny, but his facial features were still exquisite, even if Yan Liben was reborn, it would be difficult for him to paint such a color.

For a while, even Sun Shaozong, who prefers plumpness like this, inevitably had some unreasonable thoughts, so he hurriedly recited the Qingxin mantra three times silently in his heart
