In the dignified Rongguofu, two housekeepers were found dead, and one was even killed by an eighty old servant.
The grievances and grievances among them are right and wrong, enough for future generations to make up an eight-point dog blood drama!
Putting it in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it naturally attracted a lot of discussion. In the end, even Emperor Guangde was alarmed, and he made two decrees in succession.
The first decree was to exhort the relatives to do what they can, and not to make extravagant waste to save relatives - but it has been more than half a year, and it is almost time to repair it early, so this decree is purely an afterthought.
Of course, the Rongguo Mansion and other foreign relatives will inevitably have to apologize on the table with sincerity and fear.
As for the second decree, he felt that the 86-year-old loyal servant swore to protect the Lord to the death, and specially called the old men over the age of 70 in the city to enter the palace for a banquet on the day of the Longevity Festival.
Of course, not all old men are eligible to enter the palace to celebrate their birthdays.
In order to prevent the old men from being overly happy, a few accidentally died, turning a happy event into a funeral.
The Ministry of Rites specially issued an official document, requiring Shuntian Prefecture to strictly control and exclude all those who are dying. Only those who can be called old and strong can enter the palace to participate in the birthday banquet.
This is the standard 'the emperor opens his mouth and breaks his legs'.
After receiving the order, officials at all levels of Shuntian Prefecture immediately began to search for doctors in the city—whether they are old and strong or dying, naturally, it is up to the doctor to decide.
In addition, this is also a preparation to shirk responsibility. If someone really dies in the palace, the doctor can be used as a scapegoat.
After finally giving all the old men in the capital a physical examination, it is imminent to arrange the defense.
As a result, the officials of Shuntian Prefecture had to work overtime.
On the 13th day of October, all the matters up and down were finally settled. Han Anbang and Jia Yucun were able to be generous. Let everyone take turns to rest for a day, so that they can keep their spirits and prepare for the October 17th. Longevity.
Of course, this 'people' refers to officials of high rank. Those who are not in the mainstream are not so lucky, and they still have to continue to manage their errands.
Sun Shaozong was in the second batch of resting lists, which was October 14th.
Because Ruan Rong has been pregnant for nearly seven months, she has become more and more uneasy recently. She prays to God and worships Buddha every day, hoping to have a son.
In order to help her ease her mood, Sun Shaozong was going to take her and Xiangling out for entertainment while taking advantage of the rest day.
It's just that on October 13, the office was dispersed, and after returning home to discuss for a long time, I still couldn't settle on a definite place.
What Gein Ruan Rong mentioned one by one, it was either a monk temple or a nunnery. Obviously, he still had the idea of going to worship Buddha and ask for a child.
This time it was just to put her mind at ease, so Sun Shaozong proposed to go out to play. How could he agree to go to a temple
When the stalemate could not go on, Pomegranate suddenly sent a post, but it was the official announcement of the completion of the provincial family courtyard of Jia's house, and Jia Baoyu sent someone to send an invitation, inviting Sun Shaozong to see something fresh tomorrow.
"correct!"
Sun Shaozong immediately had an idea: "Didn't you want to see your goddamn sister? Why don't we go to Rongguo Mansion together?"
Not only was Ruan Rong satisfied with this proposal, but even Xiangling was excited.
After all, she has lived in Rongguo Mansion for some years, and she has all the sisters she has made friends with—especially now that the Xue family has moved out, she has no scruples.
Silent all night.
In the early morning of the second day, Sun Shaozong first asked people to put several layers of cotton mattresses in the carriage until he stepped on it as if he was trapped in a cloud, and then he personally protected Ruan Rong into the carriage.
As for Xiangling, she sat in another carriage with Pomegranate and Furong.
All the way to the Rongguo Mansion, I saw Jia Baoyu waiting outside the door.
After not seeing him for more than ten days, he seems to have changed a bit, his temperament is much calmer than before, and even his favorite red clothes have been replaced by a low-key black.
"Second brother."
He stepped forward and bowed his hands, but Sun Shaozong was not in a hurry to get off the horse, but smiled and said, "Your sister Rong is also here. She is really inconvenient now, so let me help her get off the carriage first, and then come to look for you."
Having said that, he personally drove the carriage to the front yard where Jia's mother was.
When he got to the second gate, he carefully helped Ruan Rong out of the car, and watched Ruan Rong and Xiangling be greeted by a few maidservants, and then turned back to the gate to meet Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu looked up and down for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "The baby on your face is fatter and thinner, and it looks more handsome. Just looking at this face, I'm afraid that Liu Xianglian can be compared."
"Liu Xianglian?"
"Uh… "
Only then did Sun Shaozong remember that he hadn't met Liu Xianglian before, so he said casually, "He's the son of an old friend of mine. I've been very close with Feng Ziying recently. I have the opportunity to introduce you to him."
"I'm a friend of the second brother, and I have a contract with the brother of the Feng family, so I must get to know each other well."
Jia Baoyu said, raised his hand and let it in, and said, "Second brother, how about we go to another courtyard first?"
"I was just about to take a look at your garden and see what it looked like."
The two chatted and laughed before entering the Grand View Garden.
Baoyu pointed to the scenery one by one, and explained why this place is called 'The winding path leads to the secluded', why it is called 'Qinfang', what is the name of 'You Feng Laiyi', and the beauty of 'Daoxiang Village' …
Pieces of piles, all kinds of allusions are all at your fingertips.
"It's said that you don't like reading on weekdays, but in my opinion, it's your fault."
As Sun Shaozong was talking, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Where does Uncle Jiao live now? Don't forget to take me over to say hello later."
That day, he led Jiao Da through the courthouse, and along the way, Sun Shaozong and the old man had a very close conversation.
Jiao Dageng once sighed again and again that if the sons and grandsons of the Second Rongning House could have Sun Shaozong's three costs, they wouldn't be deceived by a group of small children.
Jia Baoyu's footsteps stagnated, and he shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Jiao said that he was from the Dongfu, and he refused to move here, but now he has returned to the village—but looking at the face of the Xifu, he is now being rejected. After appointing the title of steward, I sent two honest people over to serve."
This is not what Sun Shaozong expected. With Jiao Da's credit, if he was willing to soften his posture at the beginning, he would not have fallen into the current situation.
"correct."
Jia Baoyu suddenly pointed to a palace not far in front of him, and said, "There is a strange person living in the Zhuicui Nunnery. Since the second brother is here, you must not miss it."
After he said that, he waited for Sun Shaozong to arrive at the Zhuicui Nunnery, and explained to the little nun who was guarding the gate.
Not long after, a young nun with hair in her hands came out of the Buddhist hall, and saw that she was wrapped in blue silk with plain white gauze, her eyebrows and eyes were vaguely picturesque, holding a sapphire dust whisk, and her feet were pedaling lotus flowers. Chinese Soap Boots…
From a distance, it looks like the Avalokitesvara is approaching ordinary people.
But he heard Jia Baoyu's introduction: "This is the 'Shen Duan' Master Sun, who is famous in the capital; second brother Sun, this female Bodhisattva is called Miaoyu, and Buddhism, talent, and poetry are all first-class! "
