Detective in the Red Chamber

When he came to complain about his injustice, many people saw him. If he were to be killed by Jia Amnesty for no apparent reason, it would inevitably cause some criticism.

However, after Sun Shaozong made up his mind, he dealt with some official duties in the yamen. After Chen Jingde and Huang Bin sent someone back to make a routine report according to the previous agreement, he simply left Dali Temple and drove home. go.

They set off together, and Liu Xianglian, who had been unable to hold back for a long time, got the news at noon: Jia Baoyu gathered people in Sun's house to organize a theater troupe for Jiang Yuhan.

As a well-known die-hard fancier in the circle, how could Liu Xianglian miss such a grand event?

But when they got to the bottom of the stage of the Sun Family's West Cross Courtyard, it wasn't Jiang Yuhan who was babbling on it, but Sun Zhaolin, the younger brother of Jia Baoyu and the Crown Princess.

these two people

How did it come together?

Chapter 744 Untitled

Although he had known for a long time, Jia Baoyu borrowed his own venue and invited a group of princes and grandchildren to participate in the grand event.

But Sun Shaozong really did not expect that Sun Zhaolin, the younger brother of the Crown Princess, would also participate.

The last time his cousin married the Prince of Xinyang, she had already offended the crown prince, but this time she repeated the same mistakes...

Could it be that he is determined to create trouble for his brother-in-law?

Sun Shaozong was feeling puzzled. On the stage, Sun Zhaolin flicked his sleeves, turned his back, and happened to see him squarely.

When he looked happy, he didn't care about Jia Baoyu who was on the side. He was still pinching orchids and sobbing.

Seeing his slightly embarrassed posture, Sun Shaozong suddenly felt that something was different, so he laughed and inquired: "In the past, I only heard that Si Cheng [another name for sacrificial wine] had a strict family education, but I never thought that Zhao Lin would have such a leisurely and fun- — but I don’t know who is so big of face today and called you here?”

Sun Zhaolin showed some embarrassment, but he still answered honestly: "A few years ago, my younger brother was indeed obsessed with it, but later because he had to deal with the imperial examination, he gradually let it go."

He glanced at Jia Baoyu and the others from the side of his head, and then continued: "It was just a coincidence, the younger brother came to the house to write a message for the elder brother, and he never thought that he would bump into Mr. Jia, so..."

As he said that, he couldn't help showing some wry smiles on his face.

It turned out that Jia Baoyu temporarily dragged the young man and suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

But this is also to blame for his young face, if he were to change places, Sun Shaozong would definitely refuse - after all, his family had already been tied to the prince's chariot, and it was impossible for him to learn from Sun Shaozong's brother to be able to do both.

It is estimated that after he returns home, he will go to the Prince's Mansion to sit on the bench again.

While feeling sympathetic, Sun Shaozong's focus of attention fell on the word 'next post', and he said in surprise: "You said you are here to send an invitation card? But I don't know if Uncle Shi wants to invite me alone, or... "

"This is a family banquet, so naturally only my elder brother is invited."

As Sun Zhaolin said, he couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at Jia Baoyu, and said hesitantly: "My father probably has some housework, and I want to share it with my brother."

Housework?

I'm afraid it's the prince's housework!

Ever since Jia Yuanchun became pregnant, the prince has been uncharacteristically quiet.

Sun Shaozong would not think that after listening to his own persuasion, he completely untied the knot in his heart, so he came to calm down.

On the contrary, the helpless Ah Dou is probably still giving up on himself - if not for this, the old man would not have come forward to discuss housework with Sun Shaozong.

Speaking of which, even though the two families were linked together, Sun Shaozong had never met this 'clan uncle'. He only heard that he was a very upright man, who had served as the Imperial Academy for offering wine for more than four years, and had a high prestige among scholars.

but……

The Master Jijiu of the Guozijian seems to be not very friendly to Wufu—or he is contemptuous.

It was not because the crown prince tried his best to facilitate this matter, and Sun Shaozu deliberately lowered his posture at the beginning, so the two families may not be able to get together.

Now that he let his son take the initiative to come to invite him, it is rare to lower his posture.

It seems that Lord Si Cheng is not as upright as he appears on the surface—at least he is willing to be flexible when it comes to supporting his son-in-law to become emperor.

Undoubtedly, when I go to the banquet this time, I can also save some face for my eldest brother - because of his bad reputation, the cheap eldest brother secretly received a lot of cold treatment when the two families joined forces.

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong said with a sassy smile: "Since my lord uncle invites you, I, a junior, will gladly obey - but I don't know when the banquet will be held?"

"At noon three days later, when the time comes..."

Sun Zhaolin was still waiting for details, but Jia Baoyu caught up with the headdress and pendant, and rushed up from behind, laughing and said: "We are singing Liang Zhu this time, how did Brother Zhaolin learn from Chen Shimei?"

As soon as he started, Feng Ziying, Xue Pan and others all came to greet him.

In addition to these acquaintances, there are also a few other well-known stubborn masters in the capital—of course, they are still a little short in front of Jia Baoyu and Feng Ziying.

But the last one to come forward to salute was Sun Shaozong's cheap disciple Li Xian.

Seeing this half-grown child bowing to the end and respecting his 'teacher', Sun Shaozong was not surprised and said: "Why are you here?"

Saying that, he glared at Jia Baoyu again: "Why do you call him out in such weather?"

Li Xian's father, Li Sheng, has been paralyzed in bed for more than two years, and now he is just dying.

It was snowing heavily that day, which was a hurdle for him. Yesterday, Sun Shaozong specially sent some high-quality charcoal, and two dead old ginseng.

It stands to reason that Li Xian should always be by his father's side, but why did he come here to join in the fun with Jia Baoyu and others?

"The teacher misunderstood."

Li Xian quickly distinguished: "The student was ordered by his father to thank his teacher face to face - if the teacher hadn't taken care of him all these years, the student would have..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but choked up a little, but he refused to lose his grace in front of so many people, so he forced himself to suppress his emotions.

Sun Shaozong reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said indifferently: "After I accepted you as my disciple, I went to the south to suppress the rebellion. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a mistake, and these little cares are just a little compensation. , what is it worth?"

As he said that, he took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, and continued: "It's already such an hour, don't rush to leave, I will ask the kitchen to make more nourishing and nourishing food, and you can bring it after dinner." It's not too late to go back."

Li Xian didn't refuse, but silently bowed and agreed.

In the past two years, because his father Li Sheng was paralyzed in bed, the family had almost lost all income. The fault was due to the meticulous care of the Sun family. Not to mention that he couldn't read books, and even Li Sheng's daily medicine might not be able to be postponed. up.

Not to mention, although Sun Shaozong did not teach by precepts and deeds, he specially invited the well-educated Yu Qian to teach him on his behalf...

How can such kindness be repaid with a few cheap words?

…………

Because there are quite a few people who are not familiar with each other, it took a lot of time to greet each other and report their family background.

When Sun Shaozong finally got some free time and was about to go back to the backyard to change into casual clothes, he got another notice from Yuanyang, saying that Uncle Xing in the Dongkua courtyard kept crying and wanted to invite Sun Shaozong to come over and explain a few words about his will.

When Sun Shaozong heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Let's not say that my sister-in-law and he are serious relatives. Baoyu is also in our house now, so why does he want to ask me to explain his last words?"

A bit of contempt flashed across Yuanyang's face, but in an instant, it turned into pity and regret, and in the end, he just said: "Second Lord, go and have a look in person, and you will understand."

Chapter 745 Primary and Secondary

Watching the mandarin duck turn around and walk away, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but smacked his lips. How could this little girl become more and more violent after expressing her friendship?

But right now is not the time to delve into this matter, Xing Zhongruo is really in danger of his life, it is really a troublesome matter, he finally poured half a gourd of spirits, but he ordered it to be poured into it.

If I knew this earlier, I should have thought of a different way yesterday.

But it's too late to regret it now, let's see Xing Zhong's situation first, and then make plans.

Speechless all the way.

When we arrived at Dongkua Courtyard, we could hear yelling from the guest room, and Sun Shaozong winked at the servant he found temporarily, and the other party immediately stepped forward and shouted through the curtain: "Uncle Xing, our second master is here to visit you .”

This is to let the female relatives inside know that if an adult man wants to enter the house, if there is any inconvenience, they can avoid it first.

But the voice fell for a long time, and the one who picked up the curtain and came out to meet him was Xing Xiuyan who was supposed to stay away.

Seeing her salute gracefully, she lowered her head and said, "Second brother of the Sun family, forgive me, but it is really inconvenient for my father to stand up to greet him."

As he said that, he turned sideways to open a passage, signaling Sun Shaozong to go at his own pace.

Sun Shaozong nodded slightly as a salute, then quickly walked through the living room and into the inner room.

Although it was a guest room, it was neatly arranged because Taiqian, Sun Chengye and others had been accommodated at the beginning.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see the splendid Ronghua screen placed horizontally. When you go around, you can see the six-sided palace lantern with big red ears hanging high above a round table.

At this moment, green smoke was curling up from the palace lantern, but what was burning was not candles or grease, but high-quality spices. It was freezing cold, and there were patients living in the house, so it was not easy to open the doors and windows, so we could only use spices. Covering up the sour smell of vomit.

However, if these two flavors are mixed together, it may not be good.

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong is used to appearing on the scene, so this small scene is nothing.

He just shrugged his nose slightly, then he went to Ba Bu's bed indifferently to check on Xing Zhong's condition.

But Xing Zhong was lying on his side on the bed, his face was sallow and sallow, and there seemed to be some faint excitement.

This

It can't really be a flashback, can it?

Sun Shaozong was startled, and was about to ask the question carefully, but Xing Zhong was the first to speak: "Nephew, virtuous."

It was just two words, but it was breathless. If Sun Shaozong was not right in front of his eyes, he might not be able to hear the words behind, what exactly he said.

Is this guy really going to be cold? !

Sun Shaozong was speechless in his heart, who would have thought that a mere half-gourd old wine would ruin a life?

Of course, this is mainly because he drank too much before!

While subconsciously clearing away the responsibility, Sun Shaozong hurriedly asked: "Uncle Xing, how do you feel about your body now? Do you need me to invite a familiar imperial physician to come over for diagnosis and treatment?!"

In fact, the reason why Xing Zhong was short of breath was because he called Sun Shaozong's nephew for the first time, especially since Sun Shaozong hadn't changed his official uniform at this time, he was even more guilty of calling him.

Who would have thought that Sun Shaozong didn't care about this title at all, but cared about himself very much, and even invited the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment for himself.

Xing Zhong felt more at ease in his heart at the moment, secretly thinking that Erlang of the Sun family is really kind, if he can entrust his daughter to him, he will naturally enjoy it for the rest of his life.

As for Gao Panyun

His family is related to the Rongguo Mansion, and his own family is also related to the Rongguo Mansion. !

Besides, even if my daughter is not as good as the two or three most outstanding people around Baoyu, she is still one of the most caring people in a hundred.

This encouraged himself, and Xing Zhong couldn't wait to start the performance.

"cough cough"

I heard him cough violently a few times, shook his head and said: "I know my own affairs, I'm afraid I can't do it now, it's nothing else, but I'm under my knees"

"father."

Before finishing speaking, Xing Xiuyan's voice suddenly came from behind Sun Shaozong: "Your knees are just scratches, it's nothing serious."

Xing Zhong was taken aback for a moment, then stared and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, I"

"You're just hungover."

Xing Xiuyan grabbed the conversation again, walked to the bed, helped her father pull up the quilt, turned around and said apologetically: "My father was drunk and disturbed the second elder brother of the Sun family, so let me accompany him first. , please don’t take offense.”

"Uh"

Sun Shaozong looked at Xing Zhong who had his mouth covered by the quilt, and then looked at Xing Xiuyan who was in front of him, who was calm and breezy. He suddenly said haha, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I can rest assured Please also ask Uncle Xing to rest well, if you need anything, just ask the servants to do it."

With that said, he hurriedly backed out.

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard an angry shout from inside: "Damn girl, do you want to suffocate daddy to death?!"

Sun Shaozong paused for a while, and then strode out of Dongkua courtyard in big strides.

But in the inner room, Xing Zhong lifted the quilt directly to the ground, jumped to the ground, and rushed to the gate in a few steps, but there was no shadow of Sun Shaozong outside?

"father."

When she looked back, Xing Xiuyan was already kneeling in front of her, and she said expressionlessly: "My daughter is safe for a while, and I am willing to let my father deal with it."

Xing Zhong raised his hand in a gesture, but he couldn't let it go, and finally slapped his old face, stomped his foot and said: "What did I do to favor such a good marriage that loses money, others Why don't you understand?!"

This slap was extremely heavy, and after the slap, he felt a burning pain on one side of his face. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover it, grinning his teeth, and naturally the momentum was completely vented.

Seeing her own father's appearance, Xing Xiuyan felt pitiful and pathetic, so she stood up and took his arm, shaking it lightly and said: "Father, this twisted melon is not sweet, let's talk about our family's status. high climbing"

"Fart high climb!"

Xing Zhong was annoyed again, stomping his feet and said: "Your aunt can marry into the Rongguo Mansion. You are ten times stronger than her in character and appearance back then. How can you be considered a high-ranking official if you marry a fourth-rank official?!"
