When Sun Shaozong finished teaching Xue Pan and came out of the Rongguo Mansion, it was already at the end of Shen Youchu [six o'clock in the afternoon].
He got into the carriage, leaned on the pillow and squinted his eyes and woke up for a while. He suddenly remembered that there were a few books of 'Liu Bei' in his sleeve, so he took it out and looked at it, but he couldn't find the illustrated book "Liu Bei". Strange Case Tan".
Could it be that where did Xue Pan fall
Seeing how far he hadn't gone, Sun Shaozong originally wanted to turn back, but then he thought about it, he just pretended to be a life mentor for a long time, and he turned his face and came to ask for 'Liu Bei'...
Does this affect the image too? !
So he dismissed the idea and decided that even if Xue Pan came to the door afterwards, he would never admit it.
However, without this most classic book, the rest of the pages look a bit dull. After all, Sun Shaozong has also been nurtured in the Internet age, and ordinary and shoddy things can't get into his eyes.
So he simply threw the words into the corner, and closed his eyes again.
Speechless all the way.
About half an hour later, seeing that the Sun Mansion was not far in front of him, the driver chose a corner with his back, carefully restrained the reins, and turned around to report: "Second Master, it's coming to our mansion, look..."
Sun Shaozong immediately lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. Seeing that there was no one on the left or right, he trotted a few steps and reached out to scratch on the outer wall of Sun's residence.
After the coachman waited for him to climb over the wall, he calmly raised the curtain with a hook, exposing the empty carriage to the public, and then drove the carriage to the gate of Sun Mansion.
When they got close, they saw two stone lions with six parasols erected on the left and right. Under the umbrellas, there could be forty or fifty people, men and women, young and old, rich, poor, noble and lowly. surrounded.
"I'm wronged, my lord, I'm wronged!"
"Master, there is only one son in my family for six generations!"
"Master is kind, my husband didn't mean to kill!"
"If my grandson dies, I won't be alive either!"
"Daddy, I want Daddy, I want Daddy!"
Men shouting, women screaming, old people crying, and young people making trouble, it's like a stage is set up on the street, and they want to sing a havoc in the heavenly palace!
The driver didn't panic, he turned his body slightly to the side, let out the empty carriage behind him, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, everyone, let it go! There is no one in our car, so you can stop me. It's useless, isn't it!"
Just shouting like this, it took him a full quarter of an hour before returning to the mansion with all the beards and tails.
Not to mention how the coachman unloads the horse and feeds it.
However, after Sun Shaozong climbed over the wall and entered, he went to the lotus pond in the front yard to wash his hands.
Sun Shaozong glanced back, but it was Zhao Zhongji, the second housekeeper in the mansion. He wiped his hands and asked casually, "How are you today? How many times did you faint?"
"The old lady who was in her 70s fainted. It wasn't because of the heat. She was so sad that she couldn't catch her breath for a while. Doctor Liu went up and got two needles, and then she woke up."
Zhao Zhongji said, he couldn't help but said: "If you want me to say, that is, Second Master, your kindness and righteousness, the sunshade is in the way, the sour plum soup is enough, and they are the only ones who enjoy this? You have to rely on me, early The scoundrel chased away!"
"Fuck benevolence!"
Sun Shaozong threw the handkerchief back to him and said angrily, "This is the first time I preside over the presentation of the autumn finals, how many pairs of eyes are staring? Go to the street to complain!"
All the feudal dynasties like to pay attention to being obedient to people, and this is where the saying of 'autumn decision' comes from.
The general meaning is: Spring and summer are the seasons for the growth of all things, and wanton murder is contrary to God's will. Therefore, if a crime is committed in spring and summer, except for those who are extremely vicious and who do not 'kill' is not enough for common people's resentment, they will generally stay. After the fall, the knife will be cut and asked.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, taking into account the 'Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion' and the 'Nine-Nine Double Ninth Festival', the date of the 'Autumn Festival' was deliberately changed to the tenth day of September every year.
During the period from the beginning of autumn to the Double Ninth Festival, all prefectures will list the list of autumn finals in advance, and submit them to the Ministry of Justice for approval, so that the tenth tenth of the first month of September will start the killing ban.
In previous years, the list of autumn finalists of Shuntian Prefecture was all reported by Zhizhong, but Liu Chongshan was so mad that he had recently been usurped by Sun Shaozong to seize power.
Therefore, this matter fell to Sun Shaozong.
Those people outside were the family members of the prisoners who were sentenced to be executed this year, and they were crying in front of the Sun House gate, nothing more than wanting Sun Shaozong to remove their relatives from this 'death list'.
Although, according to the court's decree, death row prisoners who are not on the 'Autumn Judgment' list, if they cannot prove their innocence within three months, will still be executed at the end of the year.
But three months, for those rich and powerful, is enough to do something.
As for those who are poor, although they have no money to fight - but isn't there a saying these days, called 'Amnesty the world'
If you can't wait for these three months, you don't have to die!
That's why so many people gathered outside the Sun Mansion.
And this is another reason why Sun Shaozong always went to Rongguofu to escape the summer.
But he said that Sun Shaozong threw the handkerchief to Zhao Zhongji, and was about to go back to his yard. After walking a few steps, he saw Zhao Zhongji following behind him, so he asked, "Why, is there anything else?"
"Back to the second master, when the afternoon came, Feng Ye from Fengzui Lane sent a wedding invitation, inviting you and the uncle to go to his house for a wedding wine on the eighth day of next month."
Feng Xin is getting married
Sun Shaozong paused in his footsteps and asked in doubt, "Isn't he already married? Could it be that his father wants to continue the string?"
"Second Master is really joking."
Zhao Zhongji didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then the second master of the Feng family has been paralyzed for more than half a year now, what can he do to continue the string? The Feng family has no children under his knees. Fang came forward to marry him a daughter-in-law."
And such a good thing? !
Sun Shaozong hurriedly asked: "Then the daughter-in-law married this time is also a serious young grandmother?"
"of course!"
tsk~
That's really cheap!
You must know that marrying a concubine these days can only be found in that commoner’s low-ranking status. Only by marrying a regular wife can you wait for an opportunity to find a helping hand in the officialdom. It seems that from now on, Lao Feng can be regarded as the master of the two wings.
"Do you know the family that married him?"
"I heard that she is the daughter of the Confucian official of Taichang Temple, and she is also a talented girl with little fame." Zhao Zhongji laughed and joked: "Looking at the meaning of Feng's family, it is most likely to take the opportunity to change the family style."
Although Li Mu was only a rank nine officer, he was an official of Taichang Temple after all, and Feng Xin, who was currently serving as a rank six commander in the patrol camp, could be regarded as a good match.
So Sun Shaozong ordered again: "Then go and help me draw up a list and see if there are any suitable gifts in our house. If not, I will find a way to buy them from outside."
Zhao Zhongji then took his order.
Sun Shaozong returned to the courtyard alone. Seeing that several maids and old ladies were chatting outside, he scolded dissatisfiedly: "Why are they all outside, where is the concubine serving?"
The head maid Qiu Lian hurriedly bowed to tell the difference: "It was the aunt who said she wanted to be quiet, so..."
Hearing that Ruan Rong wanted to be quiet, Sun Shaozong didn't want to listen to what she said next, so he walked into the room, only to see Ruan Rong biting the pen in front of the desk in a daze, with a letter dripping with ink in front of her.
Sun Shaozong quietly approached, lowered his head and looked worried for a few moments, and suddenly felt relieved. He stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Ruan Rong's shoulders, and said softly, "Why, do you feel homesick?"
Ruan Rong shook her head, but said in her mouth, "It will be my mother's death in a month, but I..."
No wonder.
"Then I will arrange for someone to go to Qianxiang Country tomorrow." Sun Shaozong said, seeing Ruan Rong shaking his head again, and hurriedly said: "Not only for yourself, Mrs. Niu also has a letter from the family to bring along. go."
Immediately, he said softly: "When my official position is higher, I will ask for leave to accompany you to return home, how about it?"
