Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

Sun Jingwen, as the eldest grandson of Sun's family, grew up with a lot of kindness and favor, and it is a matter of course that she will inherit everything from the Sun family in the future.

Only in the past few days, he only felt that everything was not going well, and he really had a headache.

The cause was his unsatisfactory wife-in-law.

That person usually takes advantage of the Sun family's wealth and power, and often bullies men and women in the city, but it was because of small fights before, and it can be settled with a small amount of money. After all, he loves Lin's charming and charming face, and she cried As soon as I asked, I softened my heart and helped to solve it.

I don't want to encounter a hard stubble this time, and even hurt someone, and be sued to the county government with a complaint, punished for several crimes, and will have to be beaten no matter what.

Seeing her elder brother suffering, Lin shed tears all day long and begged her husband to help him.

No matter how much Sun Jingwen doted on her, she felt a little bored, but if the news about a wife-in-law who was severely punished by the county government spread, it would also damage the face of the Sun family, so she reluctantly agreed to help again.

He also had some understanding of the law, knowing that being a scholar could help him to give a lighter sentence, so after asking the wife-in-law who caused the trouble if he had read books, he paid a lot of money to buy two scholars to testify in court.

He also thought that his relatives who were always causing trouble would be sent away. Of course, he would not pay a big price to try to fish them out directly, but wished that the other party would be punished a little.

When everything was arranged, he said a few words of comfort to Mrs. Lin, and he succeeded in getting her a reassuring smile, so he heaved a sigh of relief, assuming that the matter was completely settled.

He didn't send anyone to watch the progress of this matter. It was completely unexpected that the magistrate Qin had seen through his plan, and even sent out a whimsical idea of ​​asking a question in public, which made the plan come to nothing.

As a result, the money was spent, but the wife and uncle were still severely beaten with a hundred sticks and sent to another county for custody; and the two scholars who gave false testimony in court were punished for this, and naturally they also held a grudge against the Sun family.

Sun Jingwen, who loses his wife and loses his army, loses face and money in this way, of course he is not convinced.

However, the magistrate of Qin County has quite a bit of official prestige, and he is determined to accumulate political achievements. There is no room for mistakes at this juncture when there are Beijing officials to preside over the purchase. In, he was kicked out.

Sun Jingwen was so frustrated that she jumped out of anger. When she returned home, her father and grandfather gave him a merciless reprimand.

They were dissatisfied that he didn't know how to measure at the critical moment when Sun's family wanted to buy the Li's manor. Not only did he offend the county magistrate Qin, he also squandered money and caused a commotion.

He also said that he should not have intervened in it at all, and should have regulated some outrageous behaviors of his wife and uncle earlier, don't listen to the woman's words and indulge them, otherwise it will not lead to today's bitter fruit.

Sun Jingwen knew she was wrong, even if she felt aggrieved, she could only endure it.

However, when he returned to the house in despair, he saw Lin's weeping face who didn't know how to read people's faces at all, and he didn't feel annoyed and disappointed when he heard the complaints?

He simply brushed his sleeves and went out, ignoring her increasingly pitiful weeping, and went to the Yanguan Songlou to find a good fan.

Before getting married, he had a lot of flirtatious fun with singing girls, but after marrying his wife, he was told by his family that he should be more peaceful, and his wife was very attractive, so he didn't set foot in this place for a few months.

With a sullen face, Sun Jingwen rode along the street on horseback. When she saw the red gardenia lantern covered with bamboo hanging in front of the door of Huanlou, she suddenly remembered that her friend named Zhuniang was a hot-tempered person.

The reason why he hasn't seen her for so long is well known, if he doesn't buy some small gifts to please her, he will be scorned by the beautiful woman for a while.

It happened that on the way there would pass the rouge shop opened by the Sun family, Sun Jingwen had a second thought and asked Sier to wait there, turned the horse around and went to the shop by herself.

After tying the horse to one side, he opened the bead curtain, entered the shop, and lazily ordered: "Bring three boxes of snails."

"Master Dalang."

The shopkeeper, who was smiling just now, couldn't help showing embarrassment when he saw the person coming: "Luo Zidai has been bought by this gentleman."

Sun Jingwen couldn't help frowning, and forced a smile: "Really? This guest officer has a good eye."

In the end, it was nothing he took to coax people to please him. At most, when he took too much, he would take away the private account of the big house, and usually let the money from the public office be filled.

The shop mats are meant to be opened for business, the better the business, the better he, as the future head of the family, will be happy both emotionally and rationally.

It's just that this big buyer who spends a lot of money is completely different from the overseas tourists who are potbellied and dressed in strange clothes in his impression.

At a young age, wearing the most fashionable purple gown woven with Suzhou embroidery, sitting on the high chair in a casual and lazy posture, exuding a vaguely romantic and elegant appearance, and his appearance is even more exquisite and beautiful, just like the person in the painting Same.

Sun Jingwen had just glanced at it casually, then was stunned, and couldn't help but stop and look at it seriously for a moment.

It wasn't until the other party who was looking down at the color of rouge keenly noticed something and turned his head to look in his direction, he hurried away.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was busy greeting the other party and didn't insist on someone coming over, he casually stopped a clerk who was busy wiping off the non-existing dust on the rouge box, and asked bluntly: "Luo Zidai is gone, Is there always Phoenix Fairy Bonus? Pack some for me."

But the buddy looked embarrassed, and said cautiously: "Go back to Mr. Da Lang, that's gone."

Sun Jingwen's eyes widened in disbelief, and she lowered her voice and asked, "...was he bought it again?"

The guy nodded.

Sun Jingwen had no choice but to grit her teeth and change her mind: "Thrushflower Qixiang Pills, there is always rose water, right? Choose one and give me one."

The manufacturing process of these items is cumbersome, and the cost of materials is also high, so the price naturally remains high.

Although there are not many stocks in the store, except for rare ladies, no one will buy them.

Normally, Sun Jingwen would not be willing to use such expensive incense ink and perfume to make a fan happy, but the past few days have been too rough, and there are many twists and turns in getting a gift, so he is upset and doesn't bother to bother Yes, just take the most expensive one.

Unexpectedly, the buddy smiled wryly again: "Back to Mr. Da Lang, those are gone."

Sun Jingwen said angrily, "You can just tell me what's left in the store!"

The clerk felt relieved, and immediately replied: "Condensed dew ointment, floating cloud milk..."

He counted seven or eight items in one breath, and finally said: "The others are all sold out."

Sun Jingwen: "..."

No matter how nice these names are, they can't hide the fact that these are the cheapest items in these stores.

If you really give these to Zhu Niang, I'm afraid you will get a lot of supercilious looks.

Seeing Sun Jingwen's tangled face, the big buyer who had swept away the best rouge and gouache in the store, and was leisurely holding the tea brewed by the shopkeeper, waiting patiently for someone to wrap the goods for him, smiled slightly. He took the initiative to say: "If this lord is in need, you might as well choose a few items from the ones I just bought."

Sun Jingwen didn't expect that he would take the initiative to show his favor, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Lang. It's just not necessary, I will find a way to pick a few other things."

The man smiled and said: "It's okay. I bought these not to resell them, but to give them to my mother. One or two items are missing, but they can help, and she will definitely not blame her."

Sun Jingwen was taken aback: "This...is all for one person?"

The man nodded, and wrote lightly: "It's rare to go back to Suzhou, so I bought a little more. After all, I don't know what kind of things my mother likes, so I have to buy them all and let her choose slowly."

This is nonsense.

Whether it is the world-famous Suzhou embroidery or rouge and gouache, they are all popular products when they are shipped to Mizhou.

Sun Jingwen believed it was true, and couldn't help but be speechless.

Not only is the Sun family rich and powerful, but because of their wealth, they have quite a bit of weight in this city of Suzhou.

The Sun family's rouge shop has a wide variety of goods and a great reputation, and it is second to none in the city.

But I don't know which young master it is, who spends a lot of money without blinking an eye, buying up all the existing goods in the store, and even buying expensive ones, just to honor his mother!

With such a large sum of money, even he can't help feeling sorry for it.

"In that case, then I would be more respectful than obedient."

Sun Jingwen smiled and bowed her hands, she really picked two things, and asked the shopkeeper to refund four or five copies of the money back.

The other party shook his head, and just about to speak, Sun Jingwen said first: "It's rare for me to meet someone like Mr. Lang, and I dare not say too many, just be careful, please accept it."

The man shook his head helplessly, and wanted to refuse, but Sun Jingwen said again: "My lord, Sun Jingwen, do you have the honor to know your name?"

Seeing that the refusal could not be dismissed, the man had to accept it, and the corners of his lips raised slightly with dignity: "My name is Lu Ci, from Mizhou. If there is anything, you can send someone to Liu Fang's guest house to look for me."

Sun Jingwen's thoughts moved.

It just so happened that at this moment, all the goods were packed, and the shopkeeper came to inform Lu Ci with a smile, but he just nodded lightly, and didn't even take a second look at those valuable goods.

He directly gave the buddy some rewards, and asked him to help call a driver to take all the goods to the collapsed house at the dock, then smiled at Sun Jingwen in a personable manner, and left with his hands.

He walked gracefully, but Sun Jingwen couldn't help thinking about it all the time.

Even after Zhu Niang, who pretended to be displeased, showed a smiling face again, and after the two of them were confused for a while, they were still thinking about the incident just now, and Zhu Niang immediately saw that he was absent-minded.

Zhuniang pouted her lips, she didn't have any clothes on, she turned around and complained to him with her naked back: "Since Sun Dalang is so indifferent to slaves, why bother to come here?"

Only then did Sun Jingwen come back to her senses, and hurriedly hugged her and talked sweetly, and finally coaxed her to be tender and lingering with him.

He has no habit of breaking sleeves, and Long Yang is so good. The reason why he will never forget that Lu Ci Lu Langjun is because he always feels vaguely that no matter whether it is the name or the place it comes from, it is just like him. Where have I heard...

Before Sun Jingwen could linger any longer, she got the answer from her father the next day after sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows.

"Lu Ci, the only son of your widowed aunt who lives in Mizhou, sent a letter yesterday." Grandfather has been busy raising money recently to increase the capital for the purchase of the manor. The nephew who came with a drop in the bucket, of course, was indifferent.

He flipped through the account books of the public school, thinking about where else he could get some money, and casually said to the eldest son whose eyes lit up: "You send someone to Liu Fang's guest house as soon as possible, and bring him home. "

1. Thrush Qixiang pills, Luozidai, and rose water are all popular cosmetics in Song Dynasty. ("Song: The Dawn of Modern Times")

2. Landslide: the warehouse

3. "Capital Ji Sheng" records that there are some hotels, "it is said that there are prostitutes in there, you can have fun, and you can hide in the bed in the wine cabinet. The red gardenia lamp on the door is not sunny and rainy, it must be covered with Ruogan , I thought it would be recognized", this "red gardenia lamp" covered with Ruo Gan is the symbol of the sex hotel, a bit like the "red light district" of today's western cities.As for hotels that do not hang "red gardenia lamps", prostitutes just sit and drink with them ("Song: The Dawn of Modern Times")
