The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion - Chapter 951
[Chapter 939]
[New June, new weather, new… well, I can’t make it up, anyway, there is no eunuch. 】
On June 23, Ruan Rong gave birth to a son.
On July 16, Princess Beijing gave birth to a son.
On July 22, Wang Xifeng gave birth to a son.
The summer of the 14th year of Guangde was undoubtedly a ‘bumper harvest’ season for Sun Shaozong, but unfortunately, ‘there are eight or nine good things that can be said to others’.
In the eyes of others, he is just adding a son, as the icing on the cake, it is a blessing, and it is far from enough.
In the eyes of most people, Sun Shaozong is undoubtedly at a low point in his life.
At the end of May, Wei Yi, the minister of Dali Temple, put on a play, recommending Sun Shaozong to go to Cangzhou Prefecture to preside over the conflicts between gentlemen and gentry caused by sending the law to the countryside.
In mid-June, rumors began to spread, saying that Sun Shaozong was the first to have two ends so far, so he hated the Jia family and even made the emperor and concubine dislike it.
At first, everyone was only half-believing, but later there were several human proofs. This remark came from the mouth of Jia She, the grandfather of the Rongguo Mansion, and the Sun Mansion was deserted.
By the end of July, the second prince felt a cold, and Emperor Guangde dropped out of court for three days, and personally served the soup and medicine in Jingren Palace, which led to the discussion of Yichu.
And Sun Shaozong, who was rumored to be at odds with the Rongguo Mansion, and who has been in and out of the Prince’s Mansion for several months, naturally saw a sharp drop in the market.
There is a master who is used to stepping on highs and stepping on lows, and he has even begun to think about taking him as a step forward.
However, on the 25th day of the seventh lunar month, the form suddenly changed again—Jia Zheng, the second master of the Rongguo Mansion and the biological father of the concubine De Concubine, suddenly visited the Sun family with great fanfare.
…………
Sun Mansion Front Hall.
Jia Zheng, who was sitting on the head, was not as energetic as others imagined, but instead showed a bit of haggard and exhaustion.
But this is also normal. Since Concubine Virtue gave birth to the second prince, the Rongguo Mansion can be said to be in a crowded place. This is just in time for the old lady’s 80th birthday, so the Rongguo Mansion is naturally busy.
At this time of year, Wang Xifeng, who was in the master, couldn’t manage, and Jia She was ordered by the old lady to think about it behind closed doors because of drinking nonsense, so all the burdens were placed on Jia Zheng and his wife.
It is also fortunate that Baoyu has made great progress in recent years, and the third girl Jia Tanchun is even more exquisite, and has helped a lot from outside and inside. Otherwise, before the old lady’s birthday, Jia Zheng is afraid that he will be seriously ill first.
The book is back to normal.
However, after the guests and the host were seated, Jia Zheng didn’t show any courtesy to Sun Shaozong, he put a letter on the coffee table, put three fingers on it, and slowly pushed it in front of Sun Shaozong.
“A few days ago, after listening to those bastards outside, I wanted to come over, but my aunt stopped me just to wait for this letter.”
Having said that, he raised his hand to signal to Sun Shaozong to take a look first, and then talk about the rest.
Sun Shaozong bowed his body slightly, and respectfully held the letter in his hand and took a closer look. He saw that it was written on the head, but it was the name of the cheap eldest brother Sun Shaozu.
“My brother’s letter?”
Sun Shaozong raised his head and glanced at Jia Zheng in surprise. Seeing that he was stroking his beard and smiling, he had no intention of explaining, so he hurriedly opened the envelope and glanced at it.
After a while, he raised his head and said hesitantly, “Sister Xue and Brother Bao…”
Halfway through, he stopped talking.
However, Jia Zheng has already heard the meaning of this unfinished business, and immediately said with a serious face: “Erlang also believes that those nonsense are not true? Let’s not talk about the character of the Xue family girl, you should know a little bit about it. I won’t do such a private thing!”
But it turned out that in this letter, Sun Shaozu clearly expressed his approval of the marriage between the Sun family and the Xue family, and because it was difficult to return to Beijing because of the military order, he specially entrusted everything to Jia Zheng.
Because of this, Sun Shaozong just mentioned the relationship between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai.
It’s just that Jia Zheng still got it wrong. In fact, Sun Shaozong meant: Jia’s house is so good now, how can the Xue family be willing to marry such a good marriage?
But listening to Jia Zheng’s words, it is obvious that he has already obtained the approval letter from the Xue family.
Sure enough, it’s still a treasure.
Aunt Xue appeared in Sun Shaozong’s mind… Xue Baochai’s face and bearing, he also promised six or seven points in his heart.
Besides, Jia Zheng came to visit at this time, and he also had the intention of repairing for the two families. If he really refuted his face, then the rumors would come true, and it would not be a joke.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Sun Shaozong finally stood up and bowed to the end: “Since the elder brother has his life, and the uncle is the master, the younger nephew has nothing else to say.”
“Hahaha, good, good, good!”
Jia Zheng laughed loudly, helped Sun Shaozong up, and said ‘good’ three times in a row, and then explained: “Although your brother entrusted me in the letter, I discussed it with your aunt, I think it’s better to have a bliss – when the old lady’s birthday is in a few days, ask her to be the matchmaker in person!”
This time on the 80th birthday of Jia Mu, it can be said to be an unprecedented event. It is said that a flowing water table will be set up for eight days in a row to entertain guests from the court and the public as well as inside and outside the capital.
If the old birthday star personally came forward as a matchmaker, Sun Jia’s discordant message would naturally vanish into thin air.
only……
What will the prince think?
Ever since I heard that the Rongguo Mansion and the Sun Family had turned their faces, when Sun Shaozong went to the Prince’s Mansion for a ‘rehearsal’, the treatment was improved a lot.
Seeing that it was about to ‘perform’ in front of Emperor Guangde, and suddenly there was such a scene…
[For the well-known reasons, ‘rehearsal’ has disappeared, and ‘performance’ can only be made up for by everyone. 】
That’s it!
The prince on the left and right is also a foolish master, and let’s take the mother of the Xue family… er, welcome the sister of the Xue family home, and it’s not a waste to walk in this world of red mansions.
After making up his mind, Sun Shaozong bowed to the end again: “Naturally, it’s all up to Uncle Shi.”
Jia Zheng got the letter, and he became more and more happy.
Because there are still many things to do at home, I carefully warned Sun Shaozong to let him not show up a few days ago to avoid rumors outside, and then he left in a hurry.
However, after Jia Zheng left, Sun Shaozong sat alone in the hall for a long time.
Roughly speaking, it has been more than five years since he penetrated into this world. Although he cannot be said to be awake and in charge of the world, it is true that he is drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty.
In daily life, even when dreaming at midnight, he rarely recalls all kinds of past lives.
But now that the marriage is imminent, the traces of the past are like a shadow play, hazy, vague, and clearly reflected in my heart.
I don’t know why, but my heart is empty again, as if something has come to an end.
I don’t know how long it took to wake up Sun Shaozong from his memory with a call.
Looking up, it was Ruan Rong standing in front of her.
“What, is something wrong?”
For no reason, Sun Shaozong gave birth to a bit of cowardice.
Luckily, Ruan Rong didn’t notice anything, and said to herself, “Miss Xing is here, and she is in the eldest wife’s courtyard. I heard that she came to agree on a date.”
Xing Xiuyan is here?
Sun Shaozong couldn’t help but be taken aback.
It was a lot of hard work. Last year, Sun Shaozong wanted to carry her over to the house, but he was sent to the bitter cold land of Liaodong. When he returned from outside the Great Wall in May, he originally wanted to get things done as soon as possible, but Xing Xiuyan raised an objection.
She didn’t regret it, but felt that Ruan Rong was about to give birth, and she really didn’t want to disturb her peace and mind at this time.
This is reasonable and reasonable, and the Sun family naturally has nothing to object to.
Even Ping’er’s affairs were postponed at the same time. After all, Wang Xifeng was also about to give birth. Ping’er and her master and servant for many years were uneasy.
To say that now, Ruan Rong has also given birth to confinement, and discussing the date of marriage is also the meaning of the title.
But such a thing, how can the daughter’s family come to discuss it by herself?
