Detective in the Red Chamber

Ruan Rong shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything, but all of them were wounded. I asked them a few words, but they just cried."

Although Brother Cheap usually likes to play some serious games, it is quite rare to get such an exaggerated injury.

plus cry...

Sun Shaozong immediately supported the armrest and got off the slump, and said while putting on his shoes, "I'll go to Big Brother's place for a walk, and I won't come back to eat at night, just let Xiangling and her mother accompany you."

Ruan Rong didn't have any objections, she just turned her body sideways and confessed, "Don't say I saw it, otherwise those people might get another good beating."

"I understand."

Sun Shaozong responded, and went out of the room.

The two brothers lived not far away, so he hurried a few steps to the main courtyard in Zhengbei, and happened to catch up with a few young maids who were preparing dishes, so he asked them to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and asked, "Where is the eldest brother? Is it in the inner room?" still……"

"Where is Aunt Ni in the East Chamber, the servants will invite you here."

Not long after the little maids went out, they saw Sun Shaozu coming in from the outside with disheveled clothes, only covered up the top clothes crookedly, but didn't even tie the belt underneath.

Seeing Sun Shaozong looking at himself, he pulled up his trousers carelessly, and said nonchalantly, "That coquettish hoof has become more and more out of shape recently, and she can't even serve people well. When I got angry, I whipped her a few times with my belt." , Who would have thought that Mother’s hand would be broken!”

Sun Shaozong was speechless, took the opportunity to take the jug and wine glass from the maid, and motioned for them to retreat, then said while pouring the wine, "Brother, have you encountered any troubles recently? You might as well say it out, Let's go through the details together brothers."

Brother Cheap stepped forward to pick up the wine bowl, drained it in one gulp, and then put it in front of Sun Shaozong, signaling him to keep filling it up.

Then he cursed and said, "The old man in the south has several litters of children. His son has won Juren, and his son-in-law has also won Juren. His grandson is also like grandma. He is about to grow up, so I prefer this house There's a bunch of trash here, not to mention my son, he can't even make half of a girl's movie!"

Feelings are still for the heirs!

It is likely that after seeing brothers Sun Chengye and Yu Qian a few days ago, he remembered the desolation of having no children under his knees.

only……

Sun Shaozong really didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only use the "spring and autumn Zhengsheng" rhetoric to perfunctory him.

"What kind of shit is in its prime!"

Unexpectedly, Big Brother Cheap was annoyed this time. He slapped his cups and dishes in a mess, and said angrily, "Old Man Wei's continuation, Mrs. Xiangwu Dute diagnosed a happy pulse a while ago. This matter has nothing to do with age at all!"

I'll go~

The old butler Wei is 62 years old, he didn't expect to be so old and strong!

Sun Shaozong didn't know what to say for a while, but the cheap brother poured out endless bitterness, "You said brother, I just want a son? Why is it so hard?!"

"I brought home five little widows who had only given birth to sons in these years! One of Huante's mothers gave birth to twins!"

"For fear that our family's feng shui is not good, I bought four other houses, and I bought them all!"

"Daoist Zhang in Qingxu Temple, Zen Master Yuanzhen in Zijin Temple, and that Ma Daopo, Liu Shenhan... Which gods and gods haven't come to ask for me?"

"Cute mother, until now, it's still nothing to fetch water from the bamboo basket!"

Hey~

I have to say that Big Brother Cheap really took great pains for this matter.

From what it means, he probably has some congenital defect, and maybe he can find a way to leave it in later generations, but now...

Sun Shaozong had no choice but to say, "Brother, didn't we agree? If it really doesn't work, I'll adopt a child..."

"No!"

Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozu shook his head resolutely and said, "Since the turtle grandson surnamed Wei picked the head, people often use this matter to tease me. !"

Having said that, he grabbed Sun Shaozong's shoulders, and said with burning eyes, "I've been thinking about it for the past few days. Since you don't like those vulgar fans, I'll go find the daughter of a big family. Married to make a sequel, then we will steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, Li Daitao stiff..."

Sun Shaozong smiled wryly, "Brother, don't..."

"Don't worry, brother promises not to move her at all!"

"I didn't mean that..."

"What, what, that's it. You wait for me to inquire carefully and find a dull, timid and timid woman, and I will definitely not leak the slightest bit of information!"

Chapter 172

On October 25, it was the day when Sun Shaozong took a rest.

In the first half of the night, there were sporadic snowfalls. Although it was sparse, it didn't stop for a moment. Therefore, early this morning, a thin layer was accumulated on the ground.

In such weather, Sun Shaozong was absolutely unwilling to let Ruan Rong go out, but he had promised her a few days ago that she would pray to God and worship Buddha when she was resting, and it would be extremely difficult to change her mind.

In the end, they had to make a compromise and chose Zijin Temple not far from here as their destination.

As usual, Sun Shaozong led several wives and wrapped the carriage with cotton mattresses to make it airtight.

After finishing the work, he was about to go back to the backyard to help Ruan Rong go out, but on the way, he saw two young men pointing, talking and laughing in the corridor.

It was nothing at all, but the direction they pointed was the courtyard where Yu Qian and the other three were located.

Sun Shaozong stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What's the matter of chatting so happily? You might as well say it, so that the second master and I can have fun too."

The two young servants were startled at first, but after seeing his kind attitude, they became more courageous.

One of them spoke quickly and said with a smile, "Second Master, isn't it snowing? Butler Zhao asked us to sweep the snow in the Dongkua courtyard, but the brothers guarded them like eyeballs and refused to let them sweep. My son is holding the snow and touching and licking it, like some children who have never seen the world."

"Is it?"

Sun Shaozong's face sank suddenly, and he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Where is Steward Zhao, call him over!"

Only then did the two young men realize that it was not good, but they dared not disobey his orders, so they had to separate out one of them in desperation and called Zhao Zhongji over.

When Zhao Zhongji came in front of him, Sun Shaozong pointed at the boy and said, "Tell me what you said just now, and tell Steward Zhao again, remember not to change a single word."

The boy panicked a long time ago, stumbled and learned the words with difficulty, and saw that Zhao Zhongji didn't say anything, but came up with two big mouths anyway, and kicked him into the snow again!

"You bastard forgot!"

Zhao Zhongji raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, pointing at the boy's nose and cursing, "This is really against the sky, when did you come out of our house, and how you guys behave, you can talk about it."

As he said that, he waited for the fist and kick to add up.

Sun Shaozong raised his hand to stop him, and said impatiently, "Okay, I asked you to come here, but I didn't want to watch you swing your fists—you can explain it later, and don't let them catch the wind and cold because they are greedy for new things." .”

"The uncles and brothers in the south entrusted people to come to the capital, so they can trust our family, but the more this is the case, the more we must do our best to make it happen!"

Zhao Zhongji hurriedly nodded and bowed in response.

Only then did Sun Shaozong return to the backyard, and carefully helped Ruan Rong onto the carriage.

Because Xiangling's mother was not used to the dry weather in the capital these few days, she didn't follow her this time. Only Pomegranate, Furong and a thick-handed woman sat in the second car.

The two chatted for a while on the road, and Ruan Rong couldn't help but probed, "Since the master came back from the uncle that day, he has been restless. I heard that he taught the two servants a lesson. Could it be that the master has encountered some difficulties?" ?”

"This one……"

Sun Shaozong didn't know how to explain it for a while, it's really absurd!

Fortunately, Ruan Rong saw him in a difficult situation, so she thoughtfully said, "Forget it, since it's not convenient for us women to know, the master can handle it by himself. Anyway, with the master's ability, there shouldn't be anything difficult for you."

Is this difficult...

No, it should be said that this is not difficult at all!

Forget it~

Anyway, the horoscope has not been written yet, so let's think about it later.

Speechless all the way.

When we arrived at the Zijin Temple, it happened that not many people came to worship in the snow, so Sun Shaozong used some money to temporarily cover the Great Hero Hall.

After entering the main hall, Ruan Rong knelt on the futon and muttered something, then reverently twirled three sticks of incense, and with Sun Shaozong's support throughout, they inserted them into the incense burner.

Seeing such a short time, Ruan Rong's forehead was covered with sweat, and Sun Shaozong wanted to help her back to the carriage to rest.

But Ruan Rong finally came out, how could she just leave?

Scanning the merit book at the side, there was still a copper stick on it, so he stepped forward and shook one to sign it out, but the poems on it were cloudy, but it was hard to understand what it meant.

"Pomegranate."

Ruan Rong called Shiliu and ordered, "Go outside and ask which eminent monk in the temple is the most effective in unraveling the lottery."

Shiliu went to take orders, and soon came back to report that the most capable person in the whole temple is Zen Master Yuanzhen, the abbot.

Sun Shaozong had just heard about the name of this old monk Yuanzhen from Big Brother Cheap a few days ago, and he seems to have a lot of prestige in the capital—if he were to say a few auspicious words, it would surely reassure Ruan Rong a lot .

So Sun Shaozong helped Ruan Rong out of the main hall, and called a little monk to lead the way, and went straight to Abbot Yuanzhen's meditation room.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he bypassed the Daxiong Palace, he bumped into several female family members head-on, and the leader was none other than Xue Pan's mother Xue Wang.

But it turned out to be a coincidence, Aunt Xue thought that there would not be too many people in the Zijin Temple, so she came to ask the old monk Yuanzhen for help, and calculated an auspicious date for marriage - if she can use the weather of heaven and earth to change the woman's flair A dissolute temper is naturally the best.

Now that they had a sudden face-to-face meeting, Sun Shaozong was caught off guard, but Aunt Xue's heart was beating wildly, thinking to herself that this daring lunatic had arranged eyeliner at home?

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence to bump into him here?

Only when she saw that Ruan Rong was pregnant with Liujia did Aunt Xue breathe a sigh of relief.

But how did Sun Shaozong know about her mental activities?

Seeing that it was inevitable, and the other party was an elder, he hurriedly handed Ruan Rong over to Shiliu and Furong to take care of her, stepped forward and bowed and said, "My nephew has seen Aunt Xue."

The last time was just a coincidence, this time he will naturally not stare at Aunt Xue again.

After seeing the ceremony, he briefly introduced Ruan Rong's identity. He kept his eyes on the whole process and did not exceed the courtesy in the slightest.

It stands to reason that Aunt Xue should be very satisfied with Sun Shaozong being so obedient and disciplined, but for some reason, she felt a sense of loss in her heart.

And secretly pondering, is it because he has a pregnant concubine by his side, so he restrained his evil heart; or is it because he has been overworked recently, so that his appearance is a bit haggard, and he is less charming than that day?

If it's the former, it's fine, if it's the latter...

"I met Aunt Xue."

Just thinking about these things, Ruan Rong also stepped forward and nodded slightly.

Only then did Aunt Xue come to her senses, she quickly laughed and said, "Since we met here by chance, how about I go in with you to pay homage to Zen Master Yuanzhen, so that we can take care of each other."

Naturally, Ruan Rong had no reason not to agree, so she joined hands with Aunt Xue and led the maidservants and women into the abbot's meditation room, leaving Sun Shaozong alone to wait outside.

Chapter 173 Greed for floating money, Wang Xifeng missed the Mandarin Duck Meeting

But it is said that in the Golden Pavilion Temple, Sun Shaozong was standing in the snow and complaining that "the monk can see it, but I can't".

In the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng is also facing the biggest trouble after taking power again - her mother-in-law, Xingshi, came to her to cry poorly!

As for Jia Baoyu's audit of the accounts this time, Lai Da and Jia Lian were the couple who lost the most.

But the most uncomfortable thing after checking the accounts was Jia She, the elder of the Rongguo Mansion.

At the beginning, Jia She and his wife naturally took money from Xiubieyuan, but he was a serious master after all, and he bore the name of an elder, so until the end, Jia Baoyu and others did not dare to disclose it publicly. .

However, in private, the old lady in the mansion ordered the couple to return most of the embezzled money to the public account.

But this is asking for Jia She's own life, he has always been a man who enjoys himself in time, he has already spent a lot of the stolen money, how can he make up for it now? !

Tried to beg for mercy several times, played tricks several times, but almost got the old lady's anger back, and kept yelling to go to Shuntian Mansion to sue him for disobedience and disobedience.

There was no other way, so Jia Amnesty had no choice but to piece things together, sold some treasured playthings, and blocked more than half of the hole, and finally calmed Jiamu's anger.

But he himself owed a lot of money because of this.

If someone else was in his situation, he might have to be honest at home for a while—anyway, those creditors would not dare to go to Rongguo Mansion to collect debts.

But Jia She has a restless teddy living in his heart, if he doesn't go out for a few days, he will feel uneasy all over his body!

So after a few days of silence, this old master Jia hooked up with a young widow near Chongwenmen again. The real "open mouth at the beginning and talk about it all depends on bragging". A shop facing the street!

Unexpectedly, that little widow was also a shrewd woman, she killed the rabbit and did not scatter the hawk, and she showed such a flattery that the flirtatious Master Jia had no hope of getting lost, and wished she could fight openly, so she simply went to snatch the tax from the Shuntian Mansion silver!

At this moment, he suddenly heard that his daughter-in-law had regained power, and he was overjoyed. He hurriedly forced Mrs. Xing to come over and cry poorly, wanting to 'temporarily borrow' some money, so that he could be 'anxious' in front of the little widow. .

Mrs. Xing is also a strange woman. She knew that Jia She had begged for the money, and she must be taking advantage of the whores outside, but she still came to her door.

Weeping and wiping away tears in front of Wang Xifeng, he said, "Master has been rich and honored for half his life, when did he suffer from such poverty? Quickly give him a few hundred taels of silver, so that people won't say that your husband and wife are disobedient and unfilial!"

To be honest, although Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian were also ordered to return the stolen money, but she usually kept loan sharks outside, and she still had some savings left after looking for supplements here and there.

But as the saying goes, "good money is hard to give up", let alone this kind of "bad money" that can't even be heard when thrown out?

In addition, Wang Xifeng had a bit of disdain for this nominal mother-in-law, so she declined politely, "Mother opened the mouth, I shouldn't have declined, but you also know that the second master and I just paid for it." I gave a lot of money to the public, and now I still owe it outside, how can I..."
