Chapter 825: Family Affairs
As the sun set, the study room darkened visibly. With {dream} small ◢.1a
The purple hair hanging on the sprinkled gold paper was slightly raised, and Sun Shaozong was stunned for a long time before throwing it on the reclining Buddha-shaped pen stand.
Homeopathic smeared grass paper on the table gathered up, it can be half a foot thick, you must know that this is a new fashionable 'sprinkle gold paper', mixed with fine gold leaf, high-end atmosphere on the grade at the same time, the price is also very tight.
Just this half-foot-high stack is enough for a poor scholar to use a lifetime of coarse paper.
However, Sun Shaozong didn't mean to cherish it at all, and pinched his three fingers steadily, and threw them into the charcoal basin not far away.
But at the moment when he was about to make a move, Sun Shaozong stopped again.
It's not that he changed his mind and was reluctant to burn these expensive rice papers, but because the charcoal basin was dusty, and there was no trace of smoke and fire, and I don't know how long it had been extinguished.
Tut~
No wonder it's cold underfoot.
Sun Shaozong got up from the Duobao maul, found the special fire fold of Jingxi Suirenzhai, opened the gilded fireproof cover with his thumb, shook it vigorously while choking on the wind, and the flame of more than three inches high rose on the velvet rope.
ignited the stack of papyrus, threw it into the brazier casually, and saw that it was burning, Sun Shaozong pushed the door out, leaving behind the study that had returned to darkness.
The silver moon piled up in the sky let out a long breath of white mist, and Sun Shaozong stomped his feet on the stone steps again, slightly relieving the soreness and numbness of sitting for a long time, and then walked out of the small courtyard and hurried away......
"Second master."
Sun Shaozong reluctantly stopped and followed the prestige, and saw that in the verandah diagonally opposite, a small guy threw down the hand stove and flew up to meet him.
I know that these house slaves will definitely not let themselves stop.
"Say it."
"In the afternoon, the Beijing Mansion sent someone to say that the prince wanted to make an appointment with you......"
"Next."
"Ambassador Hou, who was sent by the imperial court to Qianxiang Kingdom, has returned to Beijing safely."
Hou Yong returned to Beijing safely?
That's great news!
He stayed in Qianxiang Country for more than four years, although he was under house arrest in the embassy as a hostage by Qianxiang Country for nearly half of the time, but he always knew more about the foundation of Qianxiang Country than others.
Thinking that Hou Yong might know about the recent situation of his cheap father-in-law, Sun Shaozong immediately made up his mind, and after Ming'er met the prince, he would go to the Hou family to visit, which also saved Ruan Rong from pondering all day.
But for now, we still have to hide it from Ruan Rong first, otherwise it's just a matter of empty joy, if there is really something long, two short......
Alas~
Sun Shaozong sighed helplessly, how could he marry a Qianxiang lady within a few years of marrying a Qianxiang woman, and then catch up with the war between the two countries?
"Anything else?"
"Then Mr. Qin is here again, I heard that the second master is preparing a chapter in the study, and after eating some snacks, he left by himself - by the way, when he left, he asked for three taels of frozen top oolongs."
This Qin Kejian is really ......
I obviously haven't agreed to hire him yet, but he's good, and he comes to eat and get the card every day, which is really not polite at all.
Thinking about his arrogant appearance three years ago, I have to sigh that time has changed, and things are wrong.
Of course, Sun Shaozong is no longer the Sun Shaozong of the past.
If it was just those two years, even if he had a thief's heart, he was afraid that he would not have the courage to eat Princess Beijing and Aunt Xue one after another, let alone act recklessly and force the long-legged princess to give him ...... in the palace
"Second master."
was recalling the text that was not allowed to be broadcast, and the slave laughed again: "There is another thing, the snow collapsed many old houses yesterday, and the Ministry of Rites set up a donation box on the street......
"Anonymous, or anonymous?"
"Both."
"Those who are registered are to come according to the custom, and those who are not named are to be sent for one thousand taels of silver."
"Okay!"
With this crisp shout, the matter that should be reported has finally come to an end.
Sun Shaozong saw him bowing down, and he didn't say a word, and then he walked towards his house again.
…………
The yard is still the same yard, but the atmosphere is always duller than usual, and even the two small ones are not as chattering as usual.
When Sun Shaozong entered the door, the two brothers and sisters were wrapping zongzi as if they were whispering around a snowman.
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
It was only after seeing Sun Shaozong that the two children tied up their arms, and the bombers rushed over with a whining and screaming.
Sun Shaozong laughed, picked up the two small ones, took a bite of them first, and then carried them on his shoulders, and strode into the hall.
After entering the door, I didn't see Ruan Rong's trace, but Second Sister You was on the Luohan bed, muttering something to Pomegranate.
Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from outside with two small ones, the two hurriedly got up to greet each other.
Sun Shaozong ignored them, went straight to the Luohan bed, first unloaded the two small ones, and then grabbed the kang table placed in the middle.
The pomegranate hurriedly took it in his hand, and according to Sun Shaozong's instructions, he carefully placed the kang table at the foot of the bed.
Sun Shaozong lay on his back on the bed, scratching two small itches with his fingers, and the hall was full of crisp children's sounds for a while.
After a while, Sun Shaozong suddenly straightened his neck again, frowned, and said, "What about Mrs. Aunt?" Isn't it at home? ”
He originally thought that the movement of this family happiness should lead to Ruan Rong, but who knew that there was no movement for half a day, so he asked this question.
Pomegranate hurriedly replied, "Didn't the uncle bring a lot of things from the north?" The eldest lady asked me to go over and see if there was anything we could use—I haven't come back yet, so it's estimated that the eldest lady has left for dinner. ”
As he was talking, a word came from outside, saying that Jia Yingchun had left Ruan Rong to eat.
Sun Shaozong was seven points less than he was happy at that time.
Cocking his legs on the armrests, he continued to tease the two children without a match.
Second Sister You saw him cross-legged, so she stepped forward to help take off her boots, because she felt cold through the socks, so she hurriedly ordered someone to bring a charcoal basin, and put a hot towel on it, so as not to be too dry and hurt the old skin on her feet.
"Master, either soak your feet first, and then ......"
"No need, hurry up and let the kitchen set up the meal, I rested early today, and I'll still be busy tomorrow."
Sun Shaozong didn't raise his head to order, and Second Sister You's face flushed a little rosy, looking at his interaction with the two little ones, she was envious and expectant.
If it weren't for the fact that this was in Ruan Rong's house, I was afraid that I would have been ashamed to untie my arms and wrap those two big feet in the flesh.
Unfortunately, her expectations were disappointed.
As soon as she finished dinner, Ruan Rong rushed back, saying that she had something to discuss with the second master, and Sun Shaozong naturally stayed in the hall.
Not to mention how Second Sister You was lost because of this.
But it was said that Ren Nanniang took away the two children, and ordered Furong to make a basin of hot water, Ruan Rong personally wrapped soap beans in a handkerchief, dipped water from Sun Shaozong's knees, and scrubbed them inch by inch.
Seeing that they had already rubbed their insteps, Sun Shaozong reached out and gathered a few strands of messy hair for her, pinned all of his brains behind his ears, and asked quietly: "Didn't you say that you have something to say to me?" Why haven't you spoken for half a day? ”
Ruan Rong shook her head, rubbed her face on the back of his hand, and pouted after a while: "I had something to say, but I didn't hesitate to say it." ”
Hearing her words, Sun Shaozong vaguely guessed something, so he asked tentatively: "But it's for the Xing family's business?" Didn't my sister-in-law already leave her words a few days ago, could it be ......?"
Could it be that Xing Zhong is really willing to let his daughter be a concubine?
Thinking about Xing Xiuyan in the show, I was really a little excited.
"What you think is beautiful!"
Ruan Rong glanced at Sun Shaozong, sneered and said: "Even if Uncle Xing is willing to do everything, his daughter is not at the mercy of others - they went back to Rongguo Mansion yesterday afternoon, and Uncle Xing refused to come to our house again." ”
Belch~
It seems that he overestimated his charm.
Sun Shaozong folded his feet in a daze, and muttered: "I just said this in a hurry, and I didn't really point out how to get it." ”
Although seeing that he was acting like this, most of it was to coax himself, Ruan Rong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Randomly covered the cherry mouth with his sleeve, looked up at Sun Shaozong, and said: "But although the sister of the Xing family is gone, there is a favorite beauty who wants to come to our house!" ”
"Who?"
This time, Sun Shaozong's heart was gone.
Except for Xing Xiuyan, he doesn't seem to have provoked anyone recently-Aunt Xue and the long-legged princess definitely don't count, and the two of them can't come to the door.
"It's not the Miaoyu nun of the Kucui Nunnery!"
"Miaoyu?"
"There are rumors outside that the Jia family has been blessed by the Daomen, but the family temple is dedicated to the Buddha, which is really inappropriate, so the Rongguo Mansion seems to have an intention to send Miaoyu to another house and invite a few Taoist aunts to go back."
"The eldest lady will tell me today, let me come back and ask the second master what he means, and see if I want to invite that Miaoyu to our house."
Hearing this, Sun Shaozong felt a chill in his back, this time bomb was placed in Jia's house, he was still afraid of being implicated, but now how dare he lead it to his home?
Hurriedly shouted: "Don't! Don't!
"How did you get this?"
Ruan Rong was taken aback by his sudden irritability, and couldn't help but wonder: "That Miaoyu nun, is there something wrong?" ”
"This ......"
How dare Sun Shaozong reveal Miaoyu's identity, his eyes rolled, and he immediately shook his head and said: "It's not that there is anything wrong with her, but that this matter is not right - the old feudal monarch of Rongguo Mansion is the most devout person to the Buddha, and he is also the master who has seen the wind and waves, can he tear down the Lucui Nunnery because of these few gossips?" ”
"I guess, I'm afraid it's his big house that listens to the wind and rain, and our family wants to get involved, isn't it boring to talk about yourself?"
Ruan Rong always felt a little far-fetched when she heard this, but she didn't mean to get to the bottom of it.
Immediately changed the topic again: "Then let's talk about Ping'er, when she passes the door next month, she can't be crowded with You Shi, right?" Is it to expand our yard outward, or to start anew...... Yikes~! ”
Before she could finish speaking, a big hand got under her armpit, scooped up the delicate body, rested it on her lap and ravaged it wantonly, until Ruan Rong was paralyzed and boneless, and he stopped the momentum of searching mountains and seas, and walking through forests to extract fruits.
put the stubble on her moist and smooth forehead, and said helplessly: "You don't have to worry about these things in the future - the original vinegar jar was also like it, and suddenly I took care of it to find a woman for my lord, which made my lord so uncomfortable." ”
"Who's vinegaring the jar!"
Ruan Rong only distinguished one sound, and then her mood fell again, and she knelt on Sun Shaozong's chest, and said faintly: "As soon as the slave is idle now, this heart will be empty, and he can't reach the bottom......"
"What are you afraid of? Help you fill in the fill! ”
Sun Shaozong said, and made some small movements.
Ruan Rong was already willing to do so, and said partially: "Phew, what people say is that their hearts are empty, not ......"
"You measure it carefully, and you can specify that it can reach your heart!"
