Plum Garden Warm Pavilion.
Sun Shaozong was lying on the bed with his arms on his back, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, thinking about what to do today.
The case of Daoyan's master and apprentice ended yesterday, and the rest is to let Chen Jingde quietly let out the wind and consolidate his image of 'Shen Dian'.
As for the next thing to be dealt with, it is the case of Lu Mingsi in the case of the Ministry of Housing, and the case of Wei Ruolan's shooting of Niu's father's son.
The former involves the Ministry of Households, the latter is an important case, and it seems that neither of them can be delayed for too long...
Anyway, let's investigate Lu Mingsi's case first. If there are no clues, we will solve Wei Ruolan's case tomorrow.
Of course, it may not be that easy to answer the question reasonably.

While thinking about it, I heard someone push the door outside.
Not long after, I saw Caixia headed into the inner room, followed by two fourteen-five little girls, one carrying a bucket of well water and the other carrying a pot of boiling water.
"Let's put it here first."
Caixia pointed to the end of the bed, turned around and took two copper basins and four towels from outside.
Seeing that after the two maids put down the water, she still stood there and didn't move, she used her chin to step out of the door: "Everyone, step back, there is no need for you to wait here for the time being."
The two little maids were obviously a little disappointed, but they still answered obediently, bowing their heads and exiting the warm pavilion.
At this time, Erjie You got up from Sun Shaozong's arms. She first wrapped her apron to cover the pair of sweaty and greasy things on her chest. Then she stretched her muscles and asked, "Has the snow outside been less?"
"The snow has almost stopped, but the wind is still quite strong. It is estimated that it may not be clear in the morning."
As Caixia responded, she mixed two copper basins with warm water, and then soaked two hand towels in them and rubbed them a few times. Then she got up and carefully lifted the quilt, starting from Sun Shaozong's toes. Wipe finely.
Seeing this, Second Sister You hurriedly dressed herself, went down to get a towel, and waited for Sun Shaozong's other leg.
"Auntie."
Caixia hurriedly stopped her and explained in a low voice, "This basin of water is for wiping the upper body, so don't confuse it."
Second Sister You then changed her arm to rub it.
I have to say that this plum garden warm pavilion has been built very well. Yesterday, the three of them fought fiercely until midnight, and they were sweating profusely. However, the wind and snow blocked the sky, but where did they go to find bath water
No choice but to make do with stick together to sleep.
And the time in the morning is limited, plus there is a thick layer of snow outside, and the road should have taken more effort than usual.
If you really had to take a shower and change clothes first, it would definitely be delayed a little.
Although Sun Shaozong's current position, no one will pick on it, but it is not a few days after taking office, so it is not good to be late and leave early.
So Caixia came up with a compromise. First, simply wipe her body with a hot towel, so that it wouldn't take much time, and she wouldn't disturb others.
It is said that when the two of them got started, the origins of the good family daughter and the maid were clearly revealed.
Although Erjie You wiped it carefully, her technique was not comparable to Caixia, who had received professional training.
Fortunately, she was busy getting up just now, and the loose front of her clothes would inevitably reveal some scenery, but it made up for the lack of technique.
However, it didn't take long for the two little hands to join forces at Sun Shaozong's waist.
Caixia pulled her head out of the quilt. She didn't know whether it was because of the boredom or the reason. Her face was red as if she was about to bleed.
As he said that, he suddenly thought of the inconvenience, and hurriedly added another sentence: "Second Master, just turn your body on your side!"
In fact, even if she didn't make up this sentence, Sun Shaozong wouldn't be able to get down right now.
Lying on the side with the anti-'bu' shape, let the two women wipe their backs, and then serve to dress and wash.
Yesterday's snow was really not small. The snow in the yard could be a foot and a half. I didn't even notice it in the plum garden. When I left the plum garden, I saw that the whole house had been activated. Under the leadership of Yuanyang, it was cleaned up. Make a trail that is half a mile wide.
This is not a sweep in two, even if it's over - big families pay attention to style, if the snow on both sides of the path is stained with dust, wouldn't it be detrimental to look at it
So invisibly, the difficulty of this task has more than doubled.
"Second brother!"
Just as he passed the two men who were holding wooden dustpans and carefully cut away the dust on the snow, he heard someone jumping and shouting in the front corridor, but who else could it be if it wasn't Jia Baoyu
As he got closer, he saw that the young man who was still like a jade yesterday was obviously a little sluggish today, his eyes were bloodshot, and even the corners of his mouth showed signs of blistering.
Sun Shaozong was sweeping and measuring, when Jia Baoyu from the other side rushed up early and cried, "Second brother is in good spirits, he took his little sister-in-law to the snow to find plums in the morning, sorry I was placed in the Xing family by you. The uncle is next door, and he couldn't stop all night."
"It's fine to be noisy, but the sour smell penetrates my nose through the wall..."
As he spoke, he wrinkled his nose again, and slapped his hand again and again, with an unbearable expression on his face.
Seeing his appearance, Sun Shaozong couldn't help laughing. He stretched out his hand and patted Jia Baoyu's weak shoulder and asked, "Since you want to meddle in your own business, you naturally have to deal with it to the end. How can you give up halfway?"
"Besides, aren't you always clamoring to solve the case? You can't even stand such a sour smell. How can you go to the murder scene in the future?"
Jia Baoyu was just complaining a few words. If he was really annoyed by this, he wouldn't have been able to endure it all night.
Now that I heard Sun Shaozong joking, I also laughed, put the matter behind me, and turned to ask: "Second brother, I just heard Zhang Cheng say, you have solved another strange case? I heard that the murderer turned out to be Su Xingfang, the magistrate of Wanping County? What the hell is going on? I heard that he has a good reputation and is a well-known dutiful son."
These questions, like a barrage of cannons, only changed Sun Shaozong's two blank eyes.
"What time is it, I'm rushing to the yamen to eat breakfast, how can I tell you stories!" Sun Shaozong said, and waved his hand as if chasing flies: "I'm in a hurry, so I won't accompany you two. together."
Having said that, I sent away Second Sister You's master and servant first, then turned around and went to the front hall to eat - since I said that I was in a hurry, it would be better to rush to the backyard leisurely.
But he said that he simply plucked seven bowls of pearl rice, two pots of soup stock, and more than a dozen grains and miscellaneous grains, birds and beasts, and Sun Shaozong hurried to the stables, intending to drive to the Dali Temple Yamen by car.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they got to the corner of the corner, they were confronted with a carriage and horse from their own house.
Now in this mansion, several hostess are unlikely to go out, so few people except Sun Shaozong are qualified to use dumplings.
Could it be that Zhao Zhongji is back
Could it be that something happened to Zhang An's family
Sun Shaozong couldn't help but pick up the curtain to look at it, and saw someone on the opposite carriage, who was also looking out. These four eyes were facing each other, but it wasn't Xing Zhong's daughter Xing Xiuyan, who else could it be
After all, there is a difference between men and women, Sun Shaozong originally thought, just brush the car and forget it, never thought that Xing Xiuyan saw that he was in the car, and was busy helping the car to come down to greet him.
Seeing this, Sun Shaozong naturally had to get out of the car to meet him.
