[First come 3,000+, come back 3,000+ before 12:00, and the third should be around 2:00 in the middle of the night]

At the second quarter of noon [12:30 noon], Sun Shaozong's carriage stopped outside the gate of Beijing Prince's Mansion, and the doorman came into the flower hall of the back house.

When he crossed the second gate under the guidance of the steward of the palace, Shui Rong and Wei Ruolan had already greeted him in person.

Across the distance, he laughed and said: "Why is Master Sun so late? You can ask Xiao Wang to wait at home!"

Sun Shaozong hurriedly took a few steps. Seeing that he was getting close, he stopped his steps and clasped his fists in a salute, and said with a wry smile: "It's also a coincidence, I received a case in the morning. After scolding in the street, I had no choice but to take another detour."

Wei Ruolan has recently been frustrated by the officialdom, and has some thoughts of escaping into the empty door, so it is inevitable that she will pay more attention to this monk's affairs.

At this time, I heard that the two groups of Taoist priests were scolding each other in the street, and there was no sign of death. I couldn't help but wonder: "Two groups of Taoist priests scolding each other in the street? What is this for?"

"Whoa!"

Without waiting for Sun Shaozong to answer, Shuirong slapped the sleeves of the moon satin white robe and sneered: "It's not because yesterday, the Taoist Zhang of Qingxuguan suddenly wrote a letter and asked the court to select Daoist disciples and go to the southern border to accompany the army to pray for blessings, so that Try to avoid the poisonous miasma in the southern border."

Wei Ruolan suddenly realized, she couldn't help shaking her head and sighed, "I don't want these monks, but I also have the will to serve the country with my life."

Hearing his sigh, Sun Shaozong smiled: "Brother Wei is indeed a gentleman, but unfortunately he thinks of those Taoists a little better - if they really have the will to serve the country, how could the two Taoists be scolding each other in the street?"

Shui Rong also snorted: "This time, Taoist Zhang has torn his face. Between the north and south gates, I'm afraid I have to do a good job."

Wei Ruolan became more and more confused, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

But it turned out that since the emperor began to ask for immortals two years ago, the status of Taoism has also been greatly improved.

But it is in response to the saying that "foreign monks can recite sutras", although the Qingxu Temple in the capital is famous, but it always shows its face in front of people on weekdays, and inevitably loses its sense of mystery.

Therefore, even as a local snake, he has been crushed by Jiangxi Longhu Mountain recently.

The Taoist priest Zhang wrote to the imperial court this time, requesting the selection of Taoist priests to join the army. At first glance, it seems to be an act of loyalty and patriotism, but anyone with a heart can see that the focus of his sparse memorial is actually the prefix of 'familiar with the geography and weather of the south'

With this prefix added, those who were selected to serve in front of the army were naturally only those Taoist priests from the south.

The Nanpai Taoist priests, who are mainly based on Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province, are naturally very dissatisfied with this, so there is a scene of scolding in the street today.

"All right."

Shui Rong explained the cause and effect, and seeing Wei Ruolan shaking her head and sighing, she moved her hand impatiently: "Let's not talk about those bull noses, in this cold day, Master Sun is coming here again in the wind and snow, let's follow Xiao Xiao first. Wang goes to the flower hall and warms up with a few cups of hot tea."

Having said that, he came up and walked hand in hand with Sun Shaozong enthusiastically, and entered the flower hall full of spring.

A few women flashed out twice, and diligently took off their cloaks and fox furs for the three of them. Sun Shaozong didn't care at first, but when he saw Wei Ruolan bowing slightly, as if paying respect to the women, he noticed something. Exception comes.

These women were all in their early twenties, and they were all covered in gold and jade. They were by no means comparable to ordinary maids.

This is…

Sun Shaozong immediately remembered a certain hobby of water solubility: he likes to use concubines to treat guests.

When Jia Baoyu came to the palace for a banquet, he met a concubine who was soluble in water on the wine table, and then rolled off the sheets.

Later, when the concubine died, Jia Baoyu personally went to the palace to attend the funeral.

Seeing that the concubines took off their coats for everyone, they didn't mean to leave the stage. Instead, Tingting was escorted by the side, and Sun Shaozong sighed secretly, but he could only follow the locals.

After all, using a concubine to welcome guests is also an ancient custom - didn't Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty exchange a pregnant concubine for a horse

Moreover, the princes and nobles who are eccentric these days have really gone to the sea, and they are lucky not to bump into someone who greets guests with **.

Besides...

He has even slept with the princess, and is served by several concubines, what can't he bear

He didn't take it seriously at the moment, and chatted and laughed with Shuishun and Wei Ruolan.

Now this time, with a few words, it is natural to talk about the war in the southern border.

Shui Rong also heard some rumors, and curiously inquired about Sun Shaozong's plan to go south as a general.

Wei Ruolan was a little eager to try, and had the intention of joining the army—no, he was originally from the military, so he could only say that he was going back to his own business.

After chatting for a while, Sun Shaozong had some doubts.

It stands to reason that it's already time for a banquet, so why don't the two of them mention it? It's like procrastinating.

This doubt was quickly answered.

Because the water melted for a long time, I finally couldn't bear my temper anymore. He raised his chin at a concubine beside him and instructed: "Go outside and see if the princess has arrived."

Hearing the word 'Princess', Sun Shaozong felt a sudden shock in his heart.

But in a split second, he calmed down again, if it really came to light, then Shui Rong would never be so hot...

and many more!

Although it is not uncommon among princes and nobles to treat guests with concubines, does this also prove from the side that there may be a green hat plot in water solubility

At the moment, Sun Shaozong's eyes when he saw Shuishun were a little wrong.

However, this idea was quickly rejected by Sun Shaozong.

Because even if water-soluble has that special hobby, it's not easy to show it in front of my brother-in-law, right

Why did you invite the princess at this time

He glanced at the door suspiciously, and watched the concubine shrank his shoulders and dive into the snow and wind. Sun Shaozong turned around and couldn't help but get up and test: "My lord, if the wangfei and the maiden are here, should I be an official? Is it temporary avoidance?"

"Eh~!"

Shuirong quickly grabbed his wrist and said sternly: "What's the use of the princess coming after you leave? She came here today to apologize to you, Master Sun."

Apologize in person

As early as half a month ago, he had already begged for mercy at a distance, so why would he need to apologize in person

But after listening to Shuishun's words, he was a little settled, and only thought that Shuishun was to win over himself, and specially prepared this one.

But then the heart was raised again.

He himself is confident and won't show any clues, but Wei Ying doesn't seem to be smart...

Fifteen buckets were going up and down, but there were already footsteps outside, and then the door curtain rolled to the left and right, and the concubine who was ordered to invite the princess entered first, followed by Xia Jingui.

Is this little hoof too

Sun Shaozong didn't know whether to be happy or fearful.

With Xia Jingui around, if Wei Ying really wants to make a mistake, she can also make up for it.

But the question is, she has a previous record of making trouble from it, can she be an honest assistant this time

At this time, a tall figure also came into view, and she saw her buns held high, her eyebrows swept lightly, and frosty snow hanging over her head and shoulders. Shuli was cold and arrogant, but her eyes were full of coldness and arrogance. A little more confusion.

Although not as sassy as in the past, the delicate state has increased a little bit, and the few concubines in the house are about to be dwarfed by comparison.

Sun Shaozong didn't sit down after he got up just now, so he bowed to greet him.

Seeing the burly figure in front of him, Wei Ying took a step, and the legs hidden under the pleated skirt were a little sore for no reason. The feet hidden in the deerskin boots were even more itchy. , as if it was wrapped inch by inch by something.

In the side hall before, she didn't know how many times she had brewed her emotions, simulated how many times she met with Sun Shaozong, and made up so many righteous words.

But when it really arrived in front of Sun Shaozong, everything that was prepared didn't know where to fly, and although the two cherry lips trembled, they didn't spit out a single word.

Although this was mostly a psychological activity, the stunned time was inevitably a little longer.

Seeing this scene is a bit deadlocked.

Although Shui Rong didn't think much about it for a while, she only thought that she was arrogant and arrogant, and it was difficult for her to lower her profile and apologize - but if he continued to delay like this, it was difficult to say whether he would see anything.

"ah!"

It was at this very moment that a naive and rash voice actually grabbed in front of Wei Ying.

Everyone looked at the sound, and saw Xia Jingui Xizi holding his heart, holding the fruit on his chest, two talking peach eyes, staring at Sun Shaozong without blinking, and excitedly said: "I heard that Mr. Sun is tall and extraordinary. , is a boy within a boy, when I saw it today, it really is... as expected..."

The words were only halfway through, and the head suddenly dropped, and the blush on his face was reflected in everyone's eyes.

This sudden appearance made Shui Rong and Wei Ruolan a little stunned, thinking in unison: So there are still women who like this type!

Sun Shaozong secretly praised in his heart: This little girl is really good at acting!

And after Xia Jingui's interruption, Wei Ying finally slowed down a little bit, clenched her silver teeth hard to keep her mind, and bent down to Sun Shaozong to say a thousand blessings: "In the past, because of Brother Lan's matter, I was very grateful to Master Sun. There are many offenses, please look at the prince's face, and don't care about me, a woman."

Having said that, he got up a few steps and walked around to Shuishun, picked up his cup of tea, and held it in both hands to Sun Shaozong: "Today, I will use tea instead of wine, and I will apologize to Master Sun first."

As he said that, he covered it with his sleeves and drank the tea stems that were floating.

At this moment, Sun Shaozong seemed to wake up with a start, and waved his hands together and said: 'I can't bear it', 'I can't bear it'.

"What can't be done?"

Shui Rong laughed aside and said, "If it wasn't for Lord Sun to be just and righteous, Lang Ge'er would have been unjustly killed in prison? Just based on this one, the princess should pay for it!"

Having said that, he also bowed and bowed: "Xiao Wang is not strictly controlled, and he should also accuse Master Sun!"

Seeing this, Sun Shaozong naturally hurriedly dodged to the side, and repeatedly refused, but the watermelt refused to get up, and he had to ask for an understanding.

However, they said that the three of them were 'sincerely' and pushed aside, and someone suddenly laughed beside him: "In the past, I only heard that Master Sun was a hero in the world, but now I look at him as a modest gentleman."

The person who interjected was naturally Xia Jingui again.

This was a little rude, but her next move was even more bold.

Seeing that Xia Jingui had a few fingers that looked like light and white, he picked up the tea in front of Sun Shaozong, stared at Sun Shaozong with affection, and said, "Why don't I have another cup for my sister and brother-in-law to respect Lord Sun? "

Saying that, without covering it with his sleeves, he raised his head and poured the tea down.

Because she was in a hurry to drink, drop by drop of pale yellow tea, she slid along her sharp minibus all the way into an indescribable place.

This little hoof is really tricky!
