"Thirty-six deer whips, six pairs of bear paws, four fragrant deer..."
"One hundred and eight kilograms of japonica rice, two baskets of boneless squid, and one basket of bright jade shrimp..."
Sun Shaozong sent Jia Lian away, and when he got home, he listened to the small kitchen singing and chanting continuously. It was obviously a local product that Jia Yingchun would send, and he distributed a lot of it to the second room.
There was no need for Sun Shaozong to intervene in such matters, so he ignored it and went straight to the main room, only to see that there was a lively commotion inside - Ruan Rong and Second Sister You, who were surrounded by Yuanyang and couldn't stop toasting.
Yuanyang was in a dilemma, when he saw Sun Shaozong come in suddenly, he took advantage of the situation to break free of the two girls, and stepped forward to say a thousand blessings: "This slave has seen the second master."
Immediately, he said, "There are still some things on the eldest wife's side. If they are not finished, the slaves will not delay the second master and the concubine's meals."
Saying that, he stepped back a few steps to the door, turned around and picked up the curtain and walked away.
"Giggle..."
Sun Shaozong's eyes were still fixed on the rippling cotton curtain, when he heard Ruan Rong cover his mouth and laugh a few times behind him, half-truth and half-truth: "This little hoof runs so fast! After eating, I'm still afraid of someone grabbing the tail."
Said to be joking, there is a faint sour taste in these words.
How could Sun Shaozong want to study this
He hurriedly smiled and interrupted: "Second brother Lian was in a hurry to leave, I didn't even have time to move my chopsticks, but I just happened to get a taste of your blessings."
With that said, Da Ma sat on the throne with a golden knife. Second Sister You and Xiang Ling hurriedly helped to get the cups, dishes and chopsticks, and then ordered Qingwen to pass the dishes to the chef.
In the end, Ruan Rong filled him with wine personally, and Sun Shaozong picked up the chopsticks and stuffed it.
He was wrapping a piece of cumin venison, wrapped it in a pot, and threw it into his mouth, when Ruan Rong said curiously, "Then Jia Lian waited for you at our house for about half an hour, why didn't you say a few words? gone?"
"Concubine Xiande is happy, and the palace will give you a reward."
Sun Shaozong said vaguely: "He is going to enter the palace tomorrow to thank him, so he is naturally eager to go back to discuss the regulations."
Ruan Rong was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Concubine Xiande is happy? Is it a prince or a princess?!"
"How could I possibly know?"
Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes at her speechlessly.
Fortunately, Ruan Rong didn't really want to get an answer from his mouth. She folded her palms with a happy face and recited Amitabha a few times.
Sun Shaozong is very puzzled when he sees this - Jia Yuanchun is pregnant, what does it have to do with her
If you are really happy, it should be Jia Yingchun...
"correct!"
Only then did Sun Shaozong remember that he hadn't told Jia Yingchun of the good news, so he quickly ordered: "Go to someone and tell the eldest wife the good news!"
Pomegranate next to her was about to respond, but Caixia, who was beside Second Sister You, took the initiative to stand up—she didn’t want to ask for luck, she just felt that she was in the same room with Sun Shaozong, and she felt exhausted, so she wanted to find a reason to go out quickly. .
After Caixia left, Sun Shaozong asked Ruan Rong the reason for her joy.
"I'm not for myself, but for my sister." Ruan Rong smiled and said: "I was worried that she would not be able to find her in the future - after all, this Rongguo Mansion will eventually be handed over to the big house - now if the concubine virtuous If you can give birth to a dragon child, you will no longer have to worry about her future."
tsk~
If she knew that Madam Wang intended to betroth Lin Daiyu to herself, she probably wouldn't think so.
However, Sun Shaozong wouldn't tell her about such things. Anyway, when the eldest brother came back, the marriage should have ended.
…
Two flowers, one on each table.
But she said that Caixia had left the West Crossing Courtyard, and quickly chased after Jia Yingchun, and told the story of Yuanchun's harm, Jia Yingchun was very happy.
Although now, with her son by her side, she has established a firm foothold in the Sun's family, but as for any woman who is married, who doesn't want her mother's family to be more prosperous, so that she can open her eyes and support herself
Therefore, he was busy embroidering oranges and took the purse, and rewarded him with twenty taels of silver.
After Caixia thanked her again and again, she did not return home to report.
Yuanyang also went back to his subordinates after hearing Jia Yingchun saying that he had nothing to explain. In order not to affect the grand plan of continuing to make people, Jia Yingchun still only had Xiuju and Si Qi to accompany him in that courtyard.
As soon as she took off her makeup, she took off her coat with hot water, and was about to iron her feet when she saw Caixia coming in from outside, she hurriedly stood up to greet her, and then she wondered: "Why are you chasing here, is it the second master? Any explanation?"
Caixia shook her head, told the news of the good news, and took out the purse from her sleeve and stuffed it into Yuanyang's hands, saying, "I lent you money a few days ago, and I never joined up to pay it back. Today, getting a wife's reward is a worry."
Who knew that Yuanyang would not accept it, and persuaded him: "I'm not in a hurry here. I'd better stay close to your parents, brother and sister-in-law first. They are close relatives, but they can't be troubled by these few taels of money."
In order to help Jia Huan repay her gambling debts, Caixia didn't forget her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law in addition to borrowing money from Yuanyang.
She didn't say what it was used for at the time. Later, the family heard that the money was given to the third child in the ring to fill a hole, but they were all annoyed.
Caixia's sister-in-law even made a special trip to the door and scolded her so badly that she almost broke off the relationship with her sister-in-law.
It was Yuanyang who came forward to help mediate this matter, so naturally he knew the origin and the end.
Caixia backed down again and again, seeing that she was still unwilling to accept it, so she put the purse in her bag again, and Yingying solemnly bowed down and said: "It is said that the truth is seen in adversity - I will definitely pay back for my sister's wishes in the future!"
Judging from Caixia's consistent performance, this is by no means empty words.
But when she talked about it in return, Yuanyang immediately remembered something.
After hesitating for a while, he pulled Caixia to sit on the kang, and hesitantly said: "There is something, I don't know if I should say it or not - that day, Mr. Huan came to the mansion to apologize. I took the opportunity to ask him about what happened back then, but he said …”
"But you said that the snack was actually wrapped in a worm. It was meant to tease you, but you didn't realize it!"
After hearing this, the expression on Caixia's face was condensed, and then even the blood color gradually subsided, she stared blankly at the mandarin duck, but her eyes could not even find the focus.
"Caixia? Caixia!"
Yuanyang hurriedly shouted, and stretched out her hand to push her shoulders. Caixia was a little bit awake, and she gave a stiff smile: "I... I'm fine."
As he spoke, he stood up on his own, without even saying goodbye, and staggered to the outside world.
"Caixia, Caixia!"
Yuanyang chased out a few steps, but never thought that Caixia would suddenly speed up her pace after she went out.
Seeing that she was far away, she stomped her feet regretfully, hurriedly went back to the room to re-dress, and hurried to the second room.
After chasing it into the courtyard of the second room, I saw the north end of the west wing, and the lights were already lit.
She tried to push the door, but it was hidden.
"Caixia? Are you inside, Caixia?"
While shouting, Yuanyang searched for the inner room, and as soon as he went around the screen in front of the door, he suddenly saw a naked Xue greasy body.
"You... what are you doing?"
Yuanyang was taken aback and hurriedly picked up clothes from the ground, trying to put it on Caixia.
But Caixia didn't care, she went to the closet again and found two pieces of the most popular fringed hollow underwear and a pair of semi-transparent fine silk stockings among the brothels in the capital.
As she measured her body, she muttered to herself: "This is bought by Aunt You, who wanted me to wear it to serve the second master, but I pushed it several times - but now it seems like this A humble body that is blind and deaf should wear these to be considered a match."
Saying that, he put a smile on his face.
But there was no trace of warmth in that smile, only sadness and remorse.
"you… "
Yuanyang deliberately persuaded a few words, but then I thought about it, with Caixia's current identity, it would be a good thing if she could win Sun Shaozong's favor.
So in the end, he just sighed and quietly backed out.
