"Thirty-six deer whips, six pairs of bear paws, and four ...... of fragrant roe deer"

"One hundred and eight pounds of japonica rice, two baskets of boneless soft fish, and one basket of Mingyu shrimp......"

Sun Shaozong sent Jia Lian away, and when he returned home, he listened to the small kitchen singing and harmonizing, obviously Jia Yingchun sent a lot of local products, and gave a lot to the second room.

Sun Shaozong didn't need to ask about such things, so he didn't pay attention to it, and went straight to the hall, but saw that there was also a lot of fun inside-Ruan Rong and Second Sister You were toasting around the mandarin ducks.

The mandarin duck was in a dilemma, and when he saw Sun Shaozong coming in, he hurriedly took advantage of the situation to break free from the two daughters, and stepped forward to say a blessing: "The slave has seen the second master." ”

Then he said: "There are still some things on the eldest lady's side, and if they are not dealt with, the slave and maid will not delay the second master and the aunts to eat." ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps backwards to the door, turned around and lifted the curtain and walked away.

"Giggle......

Sun Shaozong's gaze was still fixed on the rippling cotton curtain, and he heard Ruan Rong behind him cover her mouth and laugh a few times, and half-truths and half-truths quipped: "This little hoof runs fast!" I don't know if I'm afraid of being eaten by someone, or I'm afraid of being grabbed by someone's tail. ”

said it was a joke, but there was a faint sour taste in it.

How could Sun Shaozong want to delve into this?

Hurriedly smiled and interrupted: "Second Brother Lian is in a hurry, I didn't have time to move the chopsticks, but I just happened to touch your blessings." ”

As he spoke, Dama Jindao sat down on the main seat, Second Sister You and Xiangling hurriedly helped get cups, plates, dishes and chopsticks, and instructed Qingwen to go to the kitchen to serve food.

In the end, Ruan Rong personally poured him full of wine, and Sun Shaozong picked up the chopsticks and stuffed them into the sea.

was using a piece of cumin venison, wrapped in the pot and throwing it into his mouth, when he heard Ruan Rong next to him and said curiously: "Then Jia Lian has been waiting for you at our house for about half an hour, why didn't you leave without saying a few words?" ”

"Concubine Xiande is happy, and the palace has given a reward."

Sun Shaozong said vaguely: "He wants to follow him into the palace to thank him, so he is naturally in a hurry to go back to discuss the charter." ”

Ruan Rong was taken aback, and couldn't help but ask, "Is Concubine Xiande happy?" Is it a prince or a princess?! ”

"How could I possibly know?"

Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes at her speechlessly.

Fortunately, Ruan Rong didn't really want to get an answer from his mouth, her palms folded together with a happy face, and she chanted Amitabha Buddha a few times.

Sun Shaozong was very puzzled by this-Jia Yuanchun is pregnant, what does it have to do with her?

If you are really happy, it should be Jia Yingchun......

"That's right!"

Sun Shaozong then remembered that he hadn't informed Jia Yingchun of the good news, so he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and go to someone and inform the eldest lady of the good news!" ”

The pomegranate next to her was about to respond, but Caixia, who was next to Second Sister You, took the initiative to stand up - she didn't want to beg for Caitou, but she felt that being in the same room with Sun Shaozong made her feel uncomfortable, and she couldn't wait to find a reason to go out quickly.

When Caixia went, Sun Shaozong asked again why Ruan Rong was happy.

"But not for myself, but for my sister." Ruan Rong said with a smile: "Originally, I was worried that she would not have a place in the future - after all, this Rongguo Mansion will have to be handed over to the big house in the end - now if Concubine Xiande can give birth to a dragon son, she will no longer have to worry about her future in the future." ”

Tut~

She wanted to know that Mrs. Wang had the intention to marry Lin Daiyu to herself, so she probably wouldn't think so.

But Sun Shaozong won't tell her about this kind of thing, anyway, when the eldest brother comes back, this marriage should come to an end.

…………

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

said that Caixia went out of the West Cross Courtyard, hurried to Jia Yingchun, and told Yuan Chun about the joy, Jia Yingchun was very happy.

Although now, with her son, she has also gained a firm foothold in the Sun family, but any woman who is married abroad, who doesn't look forward to her mother's family being more prosperous, so that she can open her eyes and support herself?

Therefore, he hurriedly embroidered oranges and took a purse, and rewarded twenty taels of silver.

After Caixia thanked her again and again, she did not return home to report, but went out of the yard with the purse and went to look for the mandarin duck.

After the mandarin duck also finished the report, he heard Jia Yingchun say that he had nothing to explain, so he went back to his next place - in order not to affect the plan to continue to create people, Jia Yingchun was still accompanied by only Xiu Tang and Si Qi in the courtyard.

As soon as she took off her makeup, she took off her coat with hot water, and was about to burn her feet, when she saw Caixia coming in from outside, she hurriedly got up to greet her, and then wondered: "Why did you chase after you, don't you have any explanation from the second master?" ”

Caixia shook her head, said the good news, and took out the purse in her sleeve, stuffed it into the mandarin duck's hand and said: "I borrowed your silver a few days ago, and I haven't been able to repay the money. ”

I didn't know that the mandarin duck refused to take it, and persuaded him: "I'm not in a hurry here, I'm still close to your parents, brothers and sisters-in-law first, they are all close relatives, but I can't make a fuss because of these few taels of silver." ”

In order to help Jia Huan repay her gambling debts, in addition to borrowing money from Mandarin Duck, Caixia naturally did not forget her parents and sisters-in-law.

She didn't say what she was using it for at the time, but later the family heard that the money was for Huan Laosan to fill the hole, but they were all annoyed.

Caixia's sister-in-law even made a special trip to the door and scolded her, almost breaking off the relationship with her sister-in-law.

It was the mandarin duck who came forward to help mediate this matter, so he naturally knew the whole story.

Caixia gave in again and again, and saw that she still refused to accept it, so she put the purse in her pocket again, and the solemn Ying Ying bowed down and said: "It is said that adversity sees the truth - sister's heart, I will definitely have a reward in the future!" ”

Judging from Caixia's consistent performance, this is by no means empty words.

However, when she said that she reciprocated, the mandarin duck immediately remembered something.

After hesitating for a while, he pulled Caixia to sit on the kang, and said: "There is a matter, I don't know whether to talk about it or not - that day, the third master of Huan came to the house to apologize, I took the opportunity to ask him about the year, but he said, ......"

"But I said that that piece of dim sum was actually wrapped in a worm, and I originally wanted to tease you, but who knew that you didn't notice it!"

Hearing this, the expression on Caixia's face was condensed, and then even the blood color gradually faded, staring at the mandarin duck in a daze, but the two eyes couldn't even find the focus.

"Caixia? Rosy clouds! ”

The mandarin duck hurriedly shouted, and reached out to push her shoulder, Caixia was a little more sober, and laughed stiffly: "I...... I'm fine. ”

As he spoke, he got up on his own, and without even saying a word of farewell, he staggered away.

"Caixia, Caixia!"

The mandarin duck chased out and caught up a few steps, but he didn't think that after Caixia went out, he suddenly sped up his pace.

Seeing that it was far away, she stomped her foot regretfully, hurriedly turned back to the house and put on it again, and hurried to the second room.

When I caught up in the courtyard of the second room, I saw that the lights had been lit at the north end of the west wing.

She tried to push the door, but it was hidden.

"Caixia? Caixia, are you in there? ”

The mandarin duck shouted while finding the inner room, and just bypassed the screen in front of the door, he swept a naked and unconcerned snow body.

"You...... What are you doing here? ”

The mandarin duck was taken aback, and hurriedly picked up the clothes from the ground, wanting to put them on for Caixia.

Who knew that Caixia ignored it, and went to the wardrobe again, and turned out two of the most popular tassel hollow underwear in the brothels in the capital, and a pair of semi-transparent silk stockings.

While comparing her body, she said to herself: "This is Aunt You specially asked someone to buy it, and she wanted me to wear it to serve the second master, but I pushed it several times or three times - but now it seems that this blind and deaf humble body should wear these to be a match." ”

As he spoke, he stood up with a smile on his face.

But there was no trace of warmth in that smile, only sadness and remorse.

"You ......"

The mandarin duck had the heart to persuade a few words, but after thinking about it, with Caixia's current identity, if she could win Sun Shaozong's favor, it would be a good thing.

So in the end, he just sighed and quietly retreated.
