Detective in the Red Chamber

In fact, if he told Jiang Yuhan or Jia Lian about this matter, he would dismiss it easily.

But Jiang Yuhan hated men spying on her "beauty" the most - because of this, Xue Pan was punished several times by him.

At the moment, he quietly sent the man to the edge of the moat, and then quietly rushed over to get a good beating, and forced to pour a lot of mud and smelly water into it.

The rabbit master was beaten and cried for his father and mother, begging for mercy repeatedly, but after he escaped, he immediately cursed and said that he would not take revenge if he did not take revenge.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that he also left behind a sentence of "My father is Zhang Qiu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and even the Jia Zheng of the Rongguo Mansion must be courteous."

Only then did Jiang Yuhan realize that a catastrophe had been caused, and Sun Shaozong would inevitably be implicated, so she hurried to ask for resignation, and even made up her mind to leave Beijing to avoid the disaster.

After listening to his narration, Sun Shaozong almost didn't roll his eyes.

It's not that he has any opinion on Jiang Yuhan's handling method, but he really doesn't understand. This guy obviously hates others to treat him as an "elephant girl", but he is calm on the stage, babbling and coddling.

Doesn't he feel contradictory?

Seeing that Sun Shaozong did not respond in time, Liu Xianglian immediately patted her chest and said: "Second brother, a good man should be a good man when he does things, I..."

"hero?"

Sun Shaozong finally rolled his eyes: "Beating up a dude, you have such a virtue, and you still want to abandon your wife and son and go away. Are you ashamed to call yourself a hero?"

As he spoke, he tossed his robe sleeves and said, "Go back and wash and change clothes first, and follow me to Zhang Shangshu's residence at night."

Saying that, she went into the inner room by herself, and wrote a letter of greeting with a pen and a snake, and was waiting for someone to send it to Zhang's mansion, when Liu Xianglian followed in embarrassingly, with a gesture of hesitation.

"Do not worry."

Sun Shaozong said: "I don't want you to lie down and be a small boy. I have dealt with that Shangshu before, and I am quite upright and old-fashioned. If I know what his son is doing, I am afraid that I will beat you harder than you. "

This Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was precisely Zhang Qiu, the servant of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the Qiuwei of Shuntian Mansion together with Sun Shaozong three years ago.

When Liu Xianglian heard the words, she put away her sad face in an instant, and said happily: "In this way, that Shangshu is really sensible!"

"Sensible?"

Sun Shaozong snorted: "Why don't you try another low-level official? See if he still understands the truth!"

In the final analysis, these people's truths can only be shared with people of similar status. If the gap between them is too large, that Shangshu will discipline his son, but he may not let his enemy go.

After Liu Xianglian heard the meaning, her joy faded away immediately, and she was silent for a long while, until Sun Shaozong ordered someone to send the greeting card away, and then she suddenly said: "Second brother, you still have to wait Find a teacher."

"What do you mean?"

Sun Shaozong frowned: "Could it be that you don't want to just come to say a few words on the scene?"

"Second brother misunderstood."

Liu Xianglian shook her head, and then said resolutely: "My little brother wants to study hard behind closed doors—three years later, I'm going to take the Qiuwei exam again!"

Chapter 795 Daily Life

As expected by Sun Shaozong, Zhang Qiu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, was furious when he learned the whole story, and called out his second son, who was going to give him another stick in front of Sun and Liu.

Sun Shaozong tried his best to dissuade him, so Zhang Qiu ordered his son to apologize to Liu Xianglian.

Afterwards, the guests and the host had a good time. Sun Shaozong and Zhang Qiu recalled the scene of invigilating the examination in the Gongyuan, and talked about the current situation of the imperial examination candidate, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

Of course, this is just an appearance.

In fact, it was Zhang Qiu who took the initiative to break the knot and lowered his posture to cater to Sun Shaozong, which made the two have a happy conversation.

Although Zhang Qiu didn't say anything clearly until the end, Sun Shaozong vaguely sensed that this Lord Shangshu probably had something to use for him, and that's why he seemed so enthusiastic.

So when they were full of wine and food, the two had already established a considerable degree of "revolutionary friendship".

…………

Coming out of Zhang Qiu's house, it was already willow shoots on the moon.

After parting with Liu Xianglian in front of the door, Sun Shaozong saw that it was not far from Li Xian's home, so he stopped by to visit.

After returning to Beijing, this was the first time he saw Li Xian's father, Li Sheng. Compared with the decadent sick man two years ago, Li Sheng's mental outlook has improved greatly. Foam flies.

But his body has completely collapsed.

Every piece of skin and flesh was shriveled and attached to the bones, and it seemed that even the internal organs had shrunk.

It is estimated that after the Spring Festival next year, regardless of whether Li Xian can go to high school or not, he will swallow his last breath.

It can be seen that mediocre officials harm the people.

After bidding farewell to Li Xian and his son, Sun Shaozong sighed endlessly along the way. After all, he really had to care about it, and he was also jointly and severally responsible for the lax supervision.

So when he returned to the mansion, he first called Wang Jin, the concierge, and ordered him to send a message to Hong Jiu early tomorrow morning.

One is that Hong Jiuyao's official status has now been settled, and it is best to quickly decide on whom to transfer his title of beggar security chief to.

What's more, we must deal with the tail of the hand, and don't let anything go wrong—unsurprisingly, the beggar's Baojia system will be greatly adjusted, checked, and replaced in the near future.

The second thing is to order him to spread the deeds of Li Xian and his son widely in the capital.

In the spring of next year, Li Xian will only be fifteen years old.

This young genius is not only a gimmick, but also a burden—wasn’t Zhang Juzheng deliberately suppressed for three years because he was too young when he was 13 years old?

In order to avoid this situation, it is natural to spread Li Xian's situation early, and build a golden body of all goodness and filial piety, so that others dare not depose him because of his age.

Then Wang Jin agreed one by one, and when Sun Shaozong finished his explanation, he did not rush to retreat, but bowed down and reported: "Second Master, the eldest lady came back from Rongguo Mansion today, and she specially ordered that she was waiting for you." Take the time to go home when you get home.”

Is Jia Yingchun going back to her mother's house today?

Sun Shaozong immediately asked: "Did the Rongguo Mansion send someone to invite me, or did the eldest wife take the initiative to go back to her mother's house?"

"It was the Rongguo Mansion who sent someone here early in the morning."

tsk~

Most likely, Jia She couldn't wait any longer, and it was hard to urge him directly, so he wanted his daughter to make insinuations.

But apart from that, maybe there are other explanations...

I took out my pocket watch and glanced at it, and found that it was almost [[-]:[-] p.m.] in Haizheng. How could my uncle go to see his sister-in-law at this time?

Immediately ordered: "Find a woman to go home and let me know, and tell me that I will work in the study tonight."

Wang Jin agreed, and then bowed and retreated.

Sun Shaozong took the lantern from Zhang Cheng and rushed all the way to the study in the backyard.

Not to mention, the wine from Zhang Qiu's family drank softly, but it still had a lot of stamina—especially when it was blown by the wind, it made my skin swell and my heart hot.

Fortunately, he is still conscious.

After entering the study room, Sun Shaozong blew out the lantern first, then lit two candlesticks with a torch, and placed them in front of the desk to make the illusion of holding candles to work.

After getting ready, Sun Shaozong quietly went to the back of the rockery, moved half of the 300-jin boulder horizontally, waited into the secret passage, and carefully lifted it back to its original position.

After walking more than a hundred steps in the dark in the dark passage, when he saw the end, Sun Shaozong bent his fingers on the stone slab above his head and knocked a few times.

Before he finished knocking the code, he heard the rattle of the machine, which caused the stone slab above his head to move horizontally, revealing a piece of light.

"Second Master."

Xiuju held up the candlestick and said happily: "I knew you would come at night, and the servants have been waiting here."

When Sun Shaozong came out of the secret way, Jia Yingchun also greeted him early, staring at Sun Shaozong affectionately, but said nothing - she was always like this, otherwise she wouldn't be called Er Mutou back then.

But that embroidered orange was a talker, and while closing the mechanism again, he said with a smile: "Second Master is indeed drinking—you wait a moment, I will bring you the hangover soup."

With that said, he walked out on his own.

Sun Shaozong was about to call her back so as not to alarm others.

Unexpectedly, she turned around to the corner, took out a food box like offering a treasure, and dug out the hangover soup and two light dishes from the food box.

At the same time, Jia Yingchun silently handed over a hot towel for Sun Shaozong to wipe his hands and face.

"After Xuzheng [eight o'clock in the evening], before the second master comes over, my wife knows that you must be drinking today, so I specially prepared the hangover soup."

Xiuju said, and took credit for the master: "Our wife always keeps her worries in her stomach, but when it comes to thinking about the second master, she is no worse than others!"

Because the eldest brother was not in the capital, Sun Shaozong was afraid that he would accidentally misfire his gun and create a "black household" who would not be able to get on the stage. Therefore, since the last time the uncle and sister-in-law came together, they have not set foot in this place again.

And he just came back after going out for two years, Jia Yingchun's master and servant had been left alone for a long time, so it was inevitable that they were a little uneasy, that's why Xiuju said this.

Sun Shaozong chuckled, but took Jia Yingchun, who was drooping and silent, into his arms. While searching for mountains and rivers, he rubbed wantonly, and at the same time put his mouth next to her ear, and said some nonsense nonsense.

After only a moment of hard work, Jia Yingchun was made like mud, and she had no intention of resisting at all.

It can be seen that even the hangover soup can't be bothered to drink, and they want to take advantage of the joy in the hall to harmonize, and suddenly they hear the noisy noise outside.

Sun Shaozong was quite calm, but Jia Yingchun jumped up immediately, tugging at his collar in a panic to hide the spring light on his chest.

Seeing this, Sun Shaozong picked up the hangover soup that night, and casually ordered: "Go out and have a look, and see what's going on outside."

Xiuju got the order, quickly removed the latch, opened a small gap, and like a shadow puppet got out.

Not long after, she returned to the hall again, and reported helplessly: "Madam, don't be afraid, it's the uncle of the Dongkua courtyard who drank a few more glasses, and then poured wine all over the courtyard with his bare feet."

It turned out that Xing Zhong drank too much again...

Sun Shaozong was quite speechless. Since Xing Zhong stayed at Sun's house, he tried to sell his daughter at first, but later he saw that Jia Yingchun was a good friend, and his daily food and clothing expenses were much higher than when he lived in Rongguo Mansion. I forgot to be clean at the beginning of my heart, and I was so focused on eating and waiting to die.

Sun Shaozong was speechless at this moment, but Jia Yingchun misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Tomorrow, I will let Yuanyang think of a way to send their father and daughter back to Rongguo Mansion!"

"No need."

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said: "The left and right can be regarded as relatives, and we don't have him alone in our family—he can live as long as he wants."

With that said, he picked up Jia Yingchun with a cat's waist, and walked inside.

Jia Yingchun hastily stretched out her arms to wrap his arms around his neck, but what she thought in her mind was: Could it be that the second master really has some thoughts about that cousin Xiuyan?

Chapter 796 Rixing returns to Beijing

There is one more at midnight

The morning star hangs high in the sky.

Under the gray night, a rock rose up from the ground unsteadily, and then fell silently to the side.

Sun Shaozong got out from the secret passage, and after seeing that there was no one around, he returned the stone to its original position, and Shi Shi ran into the study.

There is still some time before dawn, but it is definitely too late to sleep again.

Therefore, after a simple wash, Sun Shaozong sat in front of the desk. Although he polished it all night, he didn't write any serious words.

I simply took advantage of the time before it was bright to draw up a beginning, and when I got to Dali Temple, I could continue writing along this line of thought.

Since it is a brief outline and does not need the colorful pens, Sun Shaozong naturally wrote it much more easily. He originally planned to just start, but who would have thought that the more he wrote, the smoother he would be? More than a thousand words.

By this time it was already daylight.

Sun Shaozong shook his sore wrist, took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, and found that it was already past [-] o'clock, even close to eight o'clock in the morning.

Obtained

I'm late again today.

But it doesn't matter, at Sun Shaozong's level, as long as he doesn't arrive late and leave early every day, no one will make a fuss about it.

Anyway, it was already too late, so Sun Shaozong simply reviewed the outline twice, marked several omissions in it, and then made corrections at the side.

But in this way, the chapter, which is not very neat, suddenly looks messy.

It seems that I have to transcribe it again before showing it to Yu Qian.

But if this continues to dawdle, it is not late, but absent from work.

Just

After breakfast, go to the Yamen and transcribe.

Maybe on the way, I can think of a few areas for improvement.

After drying the newly added ink stains and carefully rolling them into balls in his hands, Sun Shaozong left the study and rushed to the front yard for dinner.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the lobby of the front yard, before he had time to give orders to the left and right, Zhao Zhongji rushed in like flying, shouting: "Second Master, quickly see who is coming back!" Already!"
