But he said that since Sun Shaozong took the concubine, the cheap eldest brother gave him a brand new set of 'bed utensils'. The bells, silver trays, sulphur rings, private lamps and candles were all carefully crafted. Useful, it is also very good to enjoy.
After getting these things, Sun Shaozong was not not curious, but Ruan Rong and Xiangling refused to cooperate obediently, and he was not like a cheap big brother who just wanted a refreshment regardless.
Therefore, the utensil was cast like a pearl, completely useless.
Until this day, Xiang Ling was so grateful that she gave up her delicate body and let it do whatever she wanted, which made Sun Shaozong get what he wanted.
All kinds of new and exciting things are really not enough for outsiders!
And at the same time…
In the Rongxi Hall, the main hall of the Rongguo Mansion, there is also a secret conversation that is not enough for outsiders.
"How, what did Sun Jia Erlang find?"
The person who asked the question was Jia Zheng, who saw that he had heavy bags under the eyes, furrowed brows, and although the few strands of white hair on his temples had been trimmed, they were still clearly visible under the light. More than seven or eight years old.
"It seems that nothing has been found."
Jia Baoyu bowed his head and said, "But my son doesn't dare to test it out, so it's hard to be sure."
Having said that, he raised his head and said nervously: "How is it over there, sir? Has there been any rumors?"
Jia Zheng shook his head and said, "Although Lai Da is a wolf-hearted person, he does things very carefully, and there are no traces left in the shop."
After speaking, he smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, if it wasn't for Da Lai who happened to find out, I really don't know that our shop actually helped the He family to transport gunpowder into Beijing!"
"It is also fortunate that the head of the He family did not reveal this matter until his death, otherwise..."
Hearing this, Jia Baoyu raised his head and wanted to say something, but his eyes fell on Jia Zheng's mottled hair, but he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
He was silent for a while, and then directly changed the topic: "Second brother Sun suggested that I go to my grandmother's place to intercede on behalf of Sister Feng, so that I can avoid a standoff with my uncle's house, and secondly, I can take the opportunity to appease my family. servants."
"As it should be."
Jia Zheng nodded and said, "Although your sister has been promoted to Concubine Xiande, she doesn't have a son by her side after all. Our family can't do without the help of the Wang family."
"Where is the mother..."
"Ignore her."
Jia Zheng waved his hands in dismay: "When is this all, and I only know how to calculate whether there are some or not - besides, this Rongguo mansion should be inherited by your uncle, even if you rely on your grandmother to be the master of the house, it will eventually become more and more important. It's just the word 'li'."
After he said that, he got up and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back and rest first, and find a suitable opportunity in a few days. I'll help Lian's daughter-in-law to intercede with you."
Jia Baoyu obeyed obediently, and bowed out of the door.
silent night...
From the second half of the night, freezing rain began to fall in the capital, and when it was dawn, a layer of frost hung on the treetops and eaves, and when the north wind blew, there was a rustling noise.
Sun Shaozong had been tossing around in the middle of the night, but seeing the cold weather, he was even more reluctant to get up.
Lying lazily in the bed with his eyes closed, he wondered if he should take another half-day off, so that he could make up for the time spent on investigating and reporting the case yesterday.
But suddenly felt a cold on his left shoulder.
Lifting her eyelids and swiping, it turned out that it was Xiang Ling who quietly sat up straight, where she was tying the belt of her bellyband.
Sun Shaozong didn't even think about it, he raised his hand and peeked in through the gap under her armpit, grabbed half of his conscience, and muttered, "Yesterday you were so annoying, why are you up so early?"
Xiangling turned slightly to the side to make it easier for him to move inside, but she said, "Mother just arrived yesterday, so I'm a daughter, so what's the reason for staying in bed?"
It seems to be the case.
Sun Shaozong let out a helpless sigh, and stood up as well. Three juniors have just arrived in the family. He is an uncle, so he can't be a negative example the next day, right
The two little maids outside heard the movement inside, and hurriedly brought the change of clothes to the front, and took away the corresponding utensils with blushing faces.
Seeing that the two little maids were wrapped in cotton balls, Sun Shaozong asked curiously, "Why, it's so cold outside?"
The two maids nodded vigorously, and one of them said, "The housekeeper Zhao asked the old lady to come over and ask if we want to light the kang in our courtyard."
When Sun Shaozong heard this, he quickly ordered: "I'll go and ask my concubine later, she must take good care of her there. It's not a joke to cause a cold."
The maids responded with a crisp voice, and Sun Shaozong ordered again: "Let Steward Zhao go to the library later to see if there is any good wool that can be used for large clothes. If not, let him hurry to buy it outside!"
"When the time comes, I'll find a tailor and make three sets of winter clothes for the three brothers and Aunt Zhen's mother. They've just come from the south, and I'm afraid they haven't experienced the winter in the north."
The maids were busy and responded.
Xiang Ling had just put on her little coat at this time, and after hearing this, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his waist, rubbing it like a cat, and choked up: "Xiang Ling is following the master, it is the biggest in her life. Blessed."
Sun Shaozong slapped her hip with a backhand, and said, "You will have more luck in the future, but it's best to put on your clothes first, in case of a cold, I'm afraid I will only be able to drive you to the guest room for a while. It's time."
Xiang Ling panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly pulled her clothes over her body.
Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Sun Shaozong hesitated for a while, and then asked the maids to inquire where the eldest brother was.
After confirming that the eldest brother had come back from the military camp in the middle of the night last night, he sent another message and asked Sun Shaozu to accompany Yu Qian and others to have breakfast. He followed Xiangling to see the Zhen Fengs. Xiangling mother].
He did some filial piety for Xiang Ling at the dinner table, and promised to ask someone for help to find Zhen Shiyin [Xiang Ling's father] who was a wandering Taoist. Sun Shaozong ordered Zhang Cheng to set up a carriage and rush to the government office on duty.
The wind, frost, snow and rain had frozen Zhang Cheng enough, so when Sun Shaozong got out of the car, he specially threw him a golden bean and asked him to buy some shochu nearby to warm himself up.
However, after entering the gate of the mansion, Sun Shaozong regretted it again.
It's not that he was reluctant to give up any golden beans, but it was the fact that several cauldrons had been set up in the front yard of the mansion, and there were many hot soups for warding off the cold.
Looking further inside, I found that not only was the hot soup prepared to ward off the cold, but there were more than twenty bald scoops sitting cross-legged in the hall of the government office, burning incense and chanting sutras in that hall!
But how could this Shuntian Mansion suddenly become a monk temple
