For this autumn season, Sun Shaozong was unable to enter the house for more than ten days.
After leaving Beizhen Fusi, he naturally returned to his heart like an arrow.
Galloping all the way.
Outside the door of Desun Mansion, the old housekeeper Wei Licai and the second housekeeper Zhao Zhongji were all waiting outside the door, but only Big Brother Cheap was not seen.
Sun Shaozong was a little puzzled, and hurriedly called Zhao Zhongji over to inquire, only then did he know that the cheap brother was transferred outside the city to take care of the victims, and he has not returned home for six or seven days.
"Uncle has worked hard this time, but it's not in vain."
Hearing Zhao Zhongji smiling happily, "We got back a dozen beauties back and forth. Everyone in charge of our house has a share, and even eight are stuffed into the second master's room in one go!"
This cheap big brother is really a thief!
but…
He had clearly warned him not to mess with women during Ruan Rong's pregnancy, so why did he still make a fuss
Besides, doesn't this already have Xiangling
Sun Shaozong thought about it like this, and was going to go back to the backyard to see what happened. If Ruan Rong didn't like those newcomers, she would send them to another yard to settle them up. If they couldn't do it, they would go to Jia's mansion, and simply ask someone to train them to become an actress.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhongji chased after him again and said: "Second Master, in the afternoon, the uncle of the Xue family sent an invitation, asking you to go to his house for a banquet on the sixth day of September."
Sun Shaozong paused in his footsteps and asked in doubt, "What kind of guest is this fellow invited?"
Zhao Zhongji is also not very sure: "80% of it is a happy housewarming, because the address written on the invitation is not Rongguo Mansion, but Xue's House on Zijin Street."
Housewarming
In this way, the marriage between Xue Pan and the daughter of the Wang family should have been concluded, otherwise, there is no need to move out of Rongguo Mansion in such a hurry.
"Is there anything else? You simply finish it together!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhao Zhongji said again: "Also, from the hometown of Jinling, some local products were sent yesterday."
Like the four major families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue, the ancestors of the Sun family came from Jinling, otherwise they would not have a relationship with the Jia family.
Like all the founding heroes, after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors of the Sun family were separated from the Jinling sect's family and set up a separate portal in the capital.
However, the relationship with relatives in his hometown did not stop because of this.
In the years when the middle Sun brothers fell, the Jinling clan also specially sent people to take the two brothers back to Jinling to take care of them.
Although Sun Shaozu did not agree at that time, the favor was recorded.
Therefore, when he heard that it was from Jinling, Sun Shaozong naturally did not dare to neglect him, and hurriedly asked: "Has the person left? If not, call me to see you first."
"Of course he didn't leave, and he didn't see the uncle and the second master. How could he explain it when he went back? People are living in the guest room in the east wing now, so I'll go and call him."
However, Zhao Zhongji left in a hurry, and after a while, he led a strong man in his early twenties.
The man entered the door and took a few steps, knelt on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed: "The villain Sun Xi, I have seen the second master!"
The names of the children of the Sun family are all three characters. Those with single names like this are usually slaves who have been given the surname since childhood.
"Get up."
Sun Shaozong stretched out his hand to help him, and after that Sun Xi got up, he asked, "How are your uncles and brothers?"
"Thanks to the second master, the grandfathers and ladies are all doing well." Sun Xi handed over his hands and smiled, "Especially in the past two years, several brothers in the mansion have been instructed by famous teachers, and they are considered to be very talented in Jinling. This year's autumn There are five people in our family taking the test!"
In Jinling, although it is not like the branch in Beijing, where three generations can sit at or above the third rank [the Shaozi generation is the fourth generation], but it has early embarked on the road of farming and reading family, and there have been two or three jinshi intermittently. , and people are held one after another.
Now that he dares to spread the big words to the capital, he must have a lot of confidence.
in addition…
This Sun Xi first mentioned the imperial examinations as soon as they met, I am afraid it is not just bragging.
Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, and then suddenly said: "Do your nephews want to go all out and try next year's Spring Festival?"
The Shao generation in Jinling are all about the same age as Sun Shaozu, so the so-called brothers are naturally Sun Shaozong's nephews.
"No wonder the second master has made a name for Nuoda, it's really just a guess!"
Sun Xi picked a thumbs-up from his brother and smiled slyly, "When I went out, the old man and his wife told me to let the villain prepare a clean place for my buddies in the capital, and let the buddies come to Beijing to prepare for the exam before winter."
"What else is there to prepare for? It's not that we don't have a place to live in the mansion." Sun Shaozong said immediately: "Tomorrow, ask Butler Zhao to show you around to see if the yards are suitable, and I will make room for my nephews. !"
When Sun Xi was about to say something polite, Sun Shaozong waved his hand again and said impatiently, "Okay, I've been invigilating in the Gongyuan for a few days, and I really don't have the heart to talk to you about it. It's settled."
After speaking, he greeted again, "Steward Zhao, take Sun Xi down to rest - starting from this month, he will receive another bill from our house, and the amount will be more than your monthly bill."
Zhao Zhongji agreed, and stepped forward to lead Sun Xi, who had been grateful for thousands of years.
After the two of them left, Sun Shaozong also went to the backyard by himself.
Ruan Rong had been waiting for a long time, and it was inconvenient for her to come out, so she sent Xiang Ling as a representative, leading a group of Yingying Yanyan to wait at the gate of the courtyard for a long time.
Most of them are raw faces, obviously the eight beauties mentioned by Zhao Zhongji.
but…
This is too 'embryo', right
The youngest is only eight or nine years old, and the older one is only eleven or twelve—Could it be that he prepared a group of 'cloud spare tires' for himself
While Sun Shaozong was speechless, Xiangling happily greeted her and said with a deep bow, "Master, you are back, my sister has asked about it more than a dozen times!"
"What about you? Do you miss me, sir?"
Sun Shaozong laughed, seeing Xiang Ling's pretty face turning red, he couldn't help but want to go up and hug her and make out.
But after thinking about it, I just came out of the morgue, so I hurriedly said: "Quickly prepare a bathtub for me, sir, I want to take a good wash to get rid of bad luck and mildew on my body!"
After a pause, he said again, "Go and tell my concubine, just say that I have finished washing up, and then go see her again."
The maids were busy for a while, and then they placed the tub in the west wing. Xiangling led two eleven or twelve-year-old girls to wait for Sun Shaozong to bathe and change clothes. After the whole body was completely refreshed, he surrounded him again. Went to the main room.
No wonder the ancients said that Wenrou Township was a hero's tomb.
That night, Sun Shaozong had a long talk with Ruan Rong in the first half of the night, talking about the trivial matters of the parents and children; in the second half of the night, he fought with Xiangling in the West Wing, fighting until he was exhausted and it was dawn.
What Qiuwei, what bloody cases, what officialdom strife, were all left behind by him!
It is a pity that this gentle township can only be avoided for a while, but it cannot be avoided forever.
Just after the afternoon of the next day, Sun Shaozong was sleeping with Xiangling in his arms, when he heard the report from the maid that Feng Xin came to visit.
