In the Grand View Garden, by the Peach Blossom Forest.
More than a dozen red candles with the thickness of an arm reflected the pavilion like daylight. Sun Shaozong and Jia Baoyu sat opposite each other in the pavilion. On the stone table in front of them, there were more than a dozen kinds of dipping sauces with different flavors.
On the edge of the stone table, in two oval dinner plates half a meter long, there were dozens of prawns with full beard and full tail, but they had peeled off their armor.
Steamed, fried, salt and pepper, spicy...
Almost every cooking method imaginable has been tried on these Pipi shrimps, and listed on the plate in groups of six.
Whenever the two pick up one, a maid will immediately step forward to refill it, and in order to do this, there are a dozen or so little maids in the peach forest, who are fighting with the hideous hard shell. Desperate fight.
Coupled with the maids in charge of looking after Gu Hedeng, this looks like a simple banquet with only one main course, but more than 20 people were used to serve them, and they were all young and beautiful girls in their teens—because according to Jia Baoyu, those What comes out of the dead fish's eyeballs is really hard to swallow.
Although he sneered at Jia Baoyu's statement, Sun Shaozong's service to the maids was full of joy, and he had no guilt at all for being an exploiter.
Sure enough, it's getting more and more depraved.
But he said that after drinking five-flavored dishes and three tours, Sun Shaozong began to scold Jia Zheng for his matchmaking, but judging from Jia Baoyu's ignorant appearance, it seemed that there was no such thing as a rumor.
Could it be that after Jia Zheng came back, he just died down
Originally, Sun Shaozong's heart was actually quite contradictory, and he was in a dilemma about this marriage, but now the quiet silence has disappeared, but it made him feel lost.
He slandered that Jia Zheng a few words in his heart, and he suddenly remembered Jiang Yuhan's entrustment, and hurriedly said: "By the way, I met Brother Jiang at the palace a few days ago, he..."
"How is Qiguan now?!"
Jia Baoyu suddenly got up and looked at Sun Shaozong excitedly.
"I received some punishment from the prince, but people are still fine."
Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, and used a slightly gentle and elegant speech: "Listen to what he means, I want to forget you in the arena from now on."
"Forget each other in the rivers and lakes from now on?"
Jia Baoyu chewed the words for a few times in a daze, and then sat back slumped, lowered his head in frustration, like a primary school student who was about to be expelled from the school, and muttered to himself, "It's true, I am now Where's the face to see him?"
As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he beat his chest and said, "It's all my fault that I have no guts, but I was forced to ask a few questions, and I sold my friend! I... I really am... "
Seeing that he became more and more excited, he raised his hand to greet him on his face.
Sun Shaozong hurriedly said: "Actually, he didn't mean to blame you, he just said these heartless words under the pressure of the prince."
slap~
Who knows that Baoyu still gave him a slap in the end, and said with a sad face: "Qi Guan is so generous, doesn't it show my despicableness that day?"
As he spoke, the pea-sized tears fell tickly.
When he was almost beaten to death by his own father, I never saw him cry like this, but now I heard that Jiyou was going to cut his robe and cut his righteousness, so...
As a pure man, Sun Shaozong felt uncomfortable in his heart, and didn't know if he should continue to be relieved. He suddenly heard a report from outside the pavilion: "Master Sun, our second grandmother sent someone to bring something over, saying: I want you to pass it on to my aunt [Jia Yingchun]."
Wang Xifeng sent someone to deliver something
Sun Shaozong's heart moved, and he immediately thought of Ping'er, and quickly asked, "Where is the person? But what other letters should I bring back together?"
"This slave does not know."
Xiren shook his head, as expected by Sun Shaozong, and said, "Either I invite Sister Ping'er to come over, and you can ask me personally."
"That's work."
However, Baoyu next to him heard that Ping'er was coming, so she wiped away her tears and looked like she was sitting upright, obviously unwilling to throw her face to Jia Lian.
After a while, I saw Ping'er outside the pavilion, stopped not far from the pavilion, bowed and said, "If you go back to Lord Sun, I don't have any letters to entrust to you, but I just heard from my aunt two days ago in the letter that your residence We need to send someone to the south to buy Taihu stones so that we can rebuild a rockery."
"Second grandma asked the servants to ask if she has already left for the south. If it hasn't gone south, we have some supplies in the house. When grandma is free someday, you might as well go home and see each other first."
Yesterday, Sun Shaozong just hid in Jia Yingchun's house and hid for a whole night. Naturally, he knew that she hadn't said a word recently and sent it to Wang Xifeng, let alone buying Taihu stones.
Therefore, he immediately guessed that what Wang Xifeng wanted to inquire about was actually the progress of the 'timber business'.
only…
Why didn't Ping'er find other excuses, but said he wanted to build a rockery
Contemplating suspiciously in his heart, Sun Shaozong replied casually: "Actually, the servants in our house arrived in Jiangnan as early as half a month ago, and came back with a letter yesterday, saying that they had ordered a lot of good stones, and the price was also paid. It's appropriate - so I'm afraid I can only live up to the second grandmother's good intentions."
Hearing this, Ping'er was blessed again: "In that case. Just ask Sun Erye to pass the things to auntie."
After saying that, he turned around to say hello, and someone immediately held the shark silk yarn in front of Sun Shaozong.
When Sun Shaozong took the things, Ping'er led the maid and bowed to leave.
It's just that she didn't know what to say to the little girl, and the two went their separate ways.
Sun Shaozong peeked out from the pavilion, and in the direction Ping'er went, there was a rockery made of Taihu Lake stones!
His heart was like a clear mirror, and he had a few words with Jia Baoyu patiently, then he excused himself and left the table in a hurry.
He just waited for him to make a small circle, and when he arrived at the rockery, he found that the entrance was in the opposite direction, and there was a dense bamboo forest in the middle. .
But how can a lot of time be wasted these days
Seeing that although the rock was steep, it was only seven or eight meters high, Sun Shaozong rolled up his sleeves without hesitation and climbed up with both hands and feet.
When we got to the top, I saw a small pavilion in the middle of the mountain. Inside the pavilion, there was a woman standing in a shadowy figure, stretching her neck and looking down the mountain.
