Chapter 161: Ascension Again
As soon as the sedan chair was lifted, Sun Di left the court, and as soon as the sedan chair got off again, they had already stopped at the gate of the Guozhang Mansion.
The housekeeper guarding the door is very clever, and he has remembered it since he saw Sun Di last time, and as soon as he saw Sun Di's sedan chair falling, Sun Di had just come down from the sedan chair and had not completely gotten off the sedan chair, so he couldn't wait to report it.
When Sun Di got off the sedan chair, she didn't have to knock on the door, the door had already opened a crack, so she directly pushed the door open and went inside, and before she walked a few steps, she saw her father and mother running over in a hurry.
"Di'er, you're here." The father and mother of the Sun family shouted hurriedly, with a little concern in their voices.
Sun Di was a little puzzled, "Daddy, how do you know I'm here?" Did you notify you in advance? "Daddy came too fast.
Sun Mengshi smiled from ear to ear, "That's thanks to the clever family who can see you at a glance." Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, quickly, go into the house with my father. Let Daddy take a good look at you. ”
Sun Mengshi came up to wrap his arms around Sun Di's waist, and the second master Sun took Sun Di's hand, and the husband and wife took Sun Di into the house one left and one right. After entering the house, Sun Meng quickly ordered Xu to get the grapefruit leaves, and then swept Sun Di a few times.
"Come, Miss sweep with grapefruit leaves and go to get rid of bad luck." Xu was very happy to do this, especially when he saw Sun Di's "great calamity immortal", and his voice was almost floating.
"Yes, yes, you must sweep, sweep more." Sun Mengshi was also very happy.
After the sweep was finished, Xu went down with the grapefruit leaves, and the father and mother of the Sun family began to speak, "Oh, daughter, you really scared us." I caused some murder in a daze, and now I'm called to pass the word again. Early this morning, your father and I learned that you were sent to court for questioning, and your father and I were very nervous, for fear that something bad would happen. Now that we see that you are safe and sound, we are relieved. ”
Sun Mengshi said with a lot of emotion, and for a moment, she really thought of life and death, as if she would never see her again. The bad feeling was the same as when her daughter was kidnapped to the palace many years ago, so without warning and so powerless. So Sun Mengshi was afraid of that feeling, and now seeing that his daughter is safe and sound, a pair of old eyes are full of tears.
"How? Have you found out the results? Who exactly is the murderer? And who is the masked man who kidnapped you, do you know? "Second Master Sun is also anxious, and he doesn't know the facts of the case for a day, and this heart has been hanging.
But Sun Di didn't know about these, and Sun Di shook his head helplessly, "Hey." Today I went to the court and saw through some things. It turns out that the so-called big officials who ask for the people's lives are all wine bags and rice bags. How many incompetent people are there in this court? If I hadn't spoken eloquently in court, I would have been imprisoned. ”
Sun Di said very helplessly, and the second master Sun looked helpless after hearing this, scratching his scalp with both hands, frowning tightly and gritting his teeth, and his heart became even more anxious, "Since this is the case, then we might as well buy a peace." As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and I don't believe that there are people in this world who don't love money. ”
Second Master Sun's idea was immediately opposed by Sun Di, Sun Di shook his head, and helplessly explained, "Dad." You're thinking too much. It's the court official who died, how could the Queen Mother not investigate, since this matter has been paid attention to by the Queen Mother, how dare the presiding judge accept your money. He will be embarrassed, and it can be seen from his awe of me that he still doesn't dare to offend me too much because of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother has to make a result. So I'm afraid this case can't be tried anymore, and he should be thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds, which can close the case as much as possible and get me out of the crime. If you give him the money at this time, you will be told that I am a murderer. Then the case is closed. So Dad, you don't care about this matter, I'll be fine. ”
Hearing Sun Di say that it was okay, Second Master Sun was relieved. And listening to Sun Di's analysis also makes some sense.
"Okay, then you take care of yourself, as long as you live well, your father and mother will be at ease."
"Got it, Dad. Let's not talk about that, half a day has been wasted in the court, and now there is only half a day left. I have to go back to the palace at night. So Dad, Mom, let's stop discussing these unhappy things, let's sit down and have a meal as a family. By the way, brother? ”
Sun Di looked at it, as if he hadn't seen any trace of his brother since he entered the mansion, and he was worried that he would go out and fool around again and cause trouble for himself.
"You're in the room, you've been reading and reading these days. After a few years of wandering, the whole person has really changed and become a lot more sensible. When I see people, I know how to say hello, and occasionally I will help the family weeding and planting flowers. Sun Mengshi was full of smiles when he mentioned his son, even if he was tired and tired, he was smiling brightly and full of happiness at the moment.
Seeing his mother like this, Sun Di was also very happy, and the troubles of the court case were swept away, but when he thought that his brother was going to study and take a scientific examination, he couldn't help frowning.
It happened that this expression was seen by the second master Sun, and the second master Sun wondered, "What?" You don't seem to be optimistic about your brother? At this point, Dad, I can't help but talk about you. There is a saying that Shibei should be impressed for three days, your brother is much more humble now, and he should have a bright future. Even if you can't win the scientific examination this year, you will one day. I'm confident. Second Master Sun grinned and showed his yellowed teeth, his face was full of confidence, and even his eyes were radiant.
It can be seen that her brother has really improved a lot, but Sun Di suddenly disagrees with him to gain fame.
"No, father, mother, you misunderstood. It's not that I'm not optimistic about my brother, it's just that it's better not to enter officialdom in troubled times. I believe you should have heard the news that General Sima was removed from his military seal and Lord Zhang Chen's mysterious death, right? In addition, there is reliable news that someone in the world may want to rebel, the court is now in turmoil, and if the elder brother steps into the officialdom, he will only become a victim of the change of dynasty. It's better to be a hermit than to recite poetry now. In the future, it will not be too late to meet Ming Jun and serve the court. Sun Di said with a serious tone, and the tone of the words was not at all like an innocent child like a ten-year-old, but like a master who had experienced vicissitudes and knew the current situation, and even the eyes of the Sun family's parents looking at her at the moment were full of special scrutiny.
Is this still their daughter, that naughty and cute child has now become stable, mature and wise, it should be a good thing, why is it distressing? That's right, how can you not feel distressed, if this kind of steady and sensible must go through the vicissitudes of the world, I'd rather be a simple little girl, otherwise it's embarrassing to call me a father. Second Master Sun blamed himself a little, blaming himself for not taking good care of his daughter, and his daughter's extraordinary sensibility just reflected his dereliction of duty.
