Although a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a steal.
But when it comes to being comfortable, it really has to be in your own home.
Backyard gazebo.
Sun Shaozong was leaning lazily on a leisurely chair, next to Ruan Rong led a group of women's women, and they were surrounding a few small red clay stoves, discussing various methods of antique soup.
The full moon wine in the evening is a banquet to entertain outsiders, needless to say, it must be adjusted to the rich, but at noon this is a family gathering. According to Sun Shaozong's intention, it is naturally as simple as possible.
It's just that the hot pot of this big family is not something that can be cooked just like that.
Not to mention the seasonings of various flavors, the oils added to it are divided into more than ten kinds of butter, dog oil, lard, sheep oil, duck oil, goose oil, deer oil, soybean oil, and sesame oil.
The bottles were placed together, and Sun Shaozong was dizzy when he saw it.
Fortunately, these days, men have high status, and they pay attention to the gentleman who is far away from the kitchen, so he only needs to wait for the women and serve the cooked things with both hands.
"Xiangling, bring two jars of that sesame paste."
Originally, Sun Shaozong closed his eyes with peace of mind, and when he heard Ruan Rong instructing Xiangling to take something, he opened a gap in his eyelids. He happened to see Xiangling passing by in front of the Happy Chair, and he immediately raised his foot and walked towards Xiangling. He hooked slightly on his waist and patted his thigh again.
Xiang Ling stopped and hesitated for a while, but she still leaned forward with a blushing face and sat on Sun Shaozong's lap obediently.
Hearing Sun Shaozong lazily say: "It's just confinement, and seeing you, you've made people round."
"Just take two jars of peanut butter, can you still tire her?"
Ruan Rong rolled her eyes, and Second Sister You next to her was busy and obedient, and brought two jars of peanut butter to her.
Ruan Rong poured out some peanut butter from the jar, mixed the water and stirred it vigorously with a pair of silver chopsticks, and said, "Besides, women need to be more active after confinement. Isn't that what you told me?"
Sun Shaozong said with a shameless smile: "Isn't it already decided tonight, should I have some activities? Why should she save some energy during the day?"
Xiang Ling immediately shyly plunged into his arms, while Second Sister You covered her mouth and snickered like she stole a chicken.
Ruan Rong put the peanut butter on the coffee table and put some fried dogwood in it. She said angrily, "I'm not ashamed in the daytime, and I'm not afraid to make people laugh at it."
Sun Shaozong was still smiling facelessly, but Xiang Ling in his arms became more and more ashamed, raised her fair neck, tried to put Zhenshou's head in Sun Shaozong's ear, whispered a few words, and said again ashamed: "Slave. It's better to wait for a while, and then serve the Lord."
Sun Shaozong smiled dumbly, wrapped his arms around her waist, and rubbed his lower abdomen, which had not returned to its original state because she had just given birth to a daughter: "Your belly has just done a good job for our family, how can I despise it? Besides, it's still a long way from the waist of the bucket."
Only then did Ruan Rong know that she was worried about her figure getting out of shape. While adding various ingredients to the sesame paste, she smiled and said, "What's the matter? When I just gave birth to Yi'er, didn't my waist also thicken? In the evening, let the master hand over the 'fish family' to you, and you will lose most of the weight after practicing for a while."
After saying that, she took a pair of new chopsticks, dipped it in the peanut butter, sipped it in her mouth, and decisively ordered: "Go, take this bowl of sesame sauce to the kitchen and see if they can still use it. If you really don't need it, feed it to the dog."
This is the sixth bowl.
Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes speechlessly, trying to persuade her not to be troubled by Kejiner, but she seemed to be in high spirits.
Forget it, anyway, I usually don’t waste food at home, and I don’t care about this time.
Just as he was about to continue to recharge his batteries with Xiangling in his arms, he heard a cry of 'babble babble'. Sun Shaozong turned around and saw that it was his son who was carried out by Qingwen.
"This little bastard has been getting wilder and wilder recently. When he wakes up, he runs out!" Sun Shaozong cursed, his eyes like copper bells, but they were already bent into crescents.
Ruan Rong even threw the seasonings aside, stepped forward to pick up her son, kissed the bulging little face twice, and said with a smile, "The boy's family, what's it like to be bored in the house?"
hehe~
At this time, why didn't you mention that you should let your son study hard and take the champion exam when he grows up
Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes and was about to fight her for a few words when he suddenly saw Zhao Zhongji looking in from outside the gate, as if he had something to report.
"What's the matter?"
Sun Shaozong asked in a loud voice, Zhao Zhongji hurriedly trotted outside the pavilion, and bowed without squinting: "If I go back to the second master, Lord Zhou, the long history of the Zhongshun Palace, has arrived and said that he has come to congratulate Miss on the full moon."
Zhou Mo is here
Or did you come here to congratulate your daughter on the full moon
Even if Sun Shaozong frowned, not to mention his relationship with Zhou Mo, he was far from being familiar enough to invite each other for a concubine's full moon wine.
Just speaking of the well-informed information of the Zhongshun Palace, it is impossible for Zhou Mo to not know that he is serving the full moon wine at night...
I'm afraid this fellow has other plans, maybe it's from King Zhongshun's explanation!
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong naturally didn't dare to neglect, got up from the leisurely chair, and hurried to the front yard with Zhao Zhongji.
When he got to the living room door, he saw Zhou Mo was sitting alone at the head, and there were two gift boxes on the coffee table next to him, which should have been gifts from him.
Before crossing the threshold, Sun Shaozong said with a hearty smile: "Zhou Changshi, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you'll be fine."
"TOEFL TOEFL."
Zhou Mo was less domineering this time. He greeted him with a smile on his face, and cupped his hands: "If it wasn't for Sun Daren to turn the tide, Zhou would probably not have a happy birthday."
This obviously refers to Sun Shaozong's forgery of the emperor's grandson.
It was impossible to say what was done, so Sun Shaozong hurriedly smiled, first asked King Zhongshun's well, and then invited Zhou Mo back to the top to sit down.
When he himself was firmly seated in the main seat, he began to test carefully: "I can't believe that the little girl is full of moon, and she actually labored Zhou Changshi Dajia, which is really flattering to Sun."
"What more."
Zhou Mo raised his hand and said with a smile, "Even our lord is alarmed."
Saying that, he tapped the two gift boxes lightly: "There is the prince's intention in this - tsk tsk, a concubine can alarm the prince after a full moon, you are one of the four and nine cities!"
This honor, Sun Shaozong is not uncommon at all!
Listening to this meaning, it is almost certain that Zhou Mo came here to convey the meaning of King Zhongshun.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong was busy and put on a terrified look, got up and said: "Your Highness is so kind and virtuous, the lower official really can't repay it, I would like to ask Zhou Changshi to report back for me, the next day the king is free, the lower official will definitely kiss him. Thank you."
"There is no need to thank you in person."
Zhou Mo said with a smile: "As long as Lord Sun is dedicated to serving and worthy of the cultivation of His Majesty and the Prince, it will be enough."
As he said that, he leaned forward and said mysteriously: "By the way, you should have heard the news of the sudden death of Wu Laofengjun of the township government?"
When Sun Shaozong heard this, why didn't he know that the drama was coming
He raised his vigilance secretly, nodded and said: "I heard about it yesterday, but this old Wu Fengjun is already old, and it can barely be called a happy death..."
"Happy and mourning?"
Zhou Mo snorted: "It's not too soon or too late, but when His Majesty sent someone to investigate the Zhenguofu, the old Fengjun was gone. Don't Master Sun think it's too coincidental?"
It seems that this should be said by the Niu brothers, right
Zhou Mo, as the confidant of King Zhongshun, did he still want to complain for the Niu family
Sun Shaozong said suspiciously: "Zhou Changshi means..."
"Two years of Yongning."
Zhou Mo didn't say it directly, but talked about the ancient times, and listened to him clasping his fingers and saying: "It has been forty years since the beginning, when the Supreme Emperor first ascended to the great treasure, the two ministers in the court were fighting for each other, causing confusion for everyone. endangered."
"Guo Huan, the imperial censor at that time, was pushed to the cusp of the storm, and his life was in jeopardy. In order to protect himself, this Guo Heng committed an appalling animal act - he literally killed his biological mother, intending to borrow money from him. In the name of Ding You, leave Beijing to avoid disaster!"
The matter of Guo Heng was widely circulated in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even when the Censor's Desk was changed to the Imperial Court, it also started from this - but the question is Zhou Mo suddenly mentioned this matter, and for what purpose
Could it be that…
Sun Shaozong's eyes widened and he said, "Could it be that Zhou Changshi is suspecting that Lao Fengjun's death was not an accident?!"
Zhou Mo smiled lightly, picked up the teacup and blew it, and said calmly: "Zhou did not say that, but if Master Sun has such doubts, you might as well start an investigation."
He did not say it, but the expression on his face was clearly telling Sun Shaozong: You guessed right, hurry up and check according to this idea.
This is really poisonous!
If Niu Jizong was to be charged with murdering his mother, there was no need to look for other evidence, and he would end up with a thousand cuts.
It seems that King Zhongshun can't wait to bring the Niu family down...
Correspondingly, the risk of this matter is also very great. If one of the middle is not good, Sun Shaozong's net worth can be lost!
Sun Shaozong frowned and said, "This is a serious matter. If there is no reason, how can I investigate it? The reason why Guo Heng exposed back then was because his family took the initiative to report it, which led to the court's investigation..."
Zhou Mo interjected: "If you can't protect the servants of the township, there are some people who are willing to take the lead."
Can't keep up
I'm afraid he has already bought off the servants of the Niu family!
Sun Shaozong now fully understands that King Zhongshun has already arranged things in private, and now he is the only one who has the name of 'Shenjuan' to uncover the matter and take it seriously!
This is simply catching a duck on the shelves!
It seems that no matter how serious he is, King Zhongshun just regards himself as a chess piece—even if it is a more important piece, as long as the master makes up his mind, he is still a cannon fodder.
If it was an ordinary chess piece, naturally, it could only obey obediently.
Fortunately, Sun Shaozong is not as good as before, and he does not have the capital to compete with King Zhongshun.
"I'm afraid the officials are powerless in this matter."
Seeing him sternly said: "His Royal Highness's case has not been found yet. There is another big mess in the Shuntian Prefecture, and the lower officials are really lacking in skills."
The smile on Zhou Mo's face suddenly froze, he put the teacup on the table, glared at Sun Shaozong and said, "Are you trying to use the prince to crush our prince?!"
"Don't dare."
Sun Shaozong said neither humble nor arrogant: "The prince and the prince are close relatives, and the lower officials share the prince's worries and help the prince."
