Twenty-seventh of the lunar month.

When the sky was bright, snowflakes floated, and by the time Sun Shaozong and Ruan Rong packed up and were about to go to Rongguo Mansion to make an appointment, a half-inch thick layer had accumulated on the ground.

But the pedestrians on the road were not less affected by this snow.

Those who carry baskets, those who carry burdens, and those who drive carts......

The hustle and bustle of buying or selling will stir up the last big market of the year.

When I arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, I saw that around the golden main gate, nearly a hundred red lanterns and goose wings were lined up, and they were all lit with candles the thickness of their arms - at present, it is not obvious during the day, if it is at night, most of the street will definitely be in full swing!

The daily consumption of this string of lanterns alone is probably enough for the expenses of ordinary people for a year.

Sure enough, it's 'Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road'!

Sun Shaozong sighed in his heart, and first saw Ruan Rong's carriage enter through the West Corner Gate, and under the guidance of his mother-in-law, he went straight to Lin Daiyu in the back house, and then urged the horse to go towards the easternmost black oil gate.

It is also a strange story to say, Jia Lian's father Jia He, as the eldest son of the grandson, and a first-class general who attacked the knight, but just because Mrs. Jia didn't want to see him, he had to be aggrieved in the small cross-courtyard on the east side.

On the contrary, the second master, Jia Zheng, lives in the main house of the hall, as if he is in charge.

Without further ado.

said that when Sun Shaozong arrived at the black oil gate, Jia Lian's henchman Long'er was already waiting on the steps.

Without waiting for Sun Shaozong to get off the horse, he approached and greeted with a smile on his face: "Second Master Sun, you can be regarded as coming!" Our lord has asked several times, and if you are about to lose it, you will send someone to carry you in a sedan chair! ”

"I'm not your second grandmother, where can I sit in a sedan chair."

Sun Shaozong jumped off the horse neatly, and poked the big red lantern hanging on the wall with his finger: "In previous years, you only lit a dozen lights in your house to meet the occasion, how can you be so swaggering this year?" ”

"Yo~"

Na Long'er screamed strangely, and said exaggeratedly: "You don't know the feelings yet!" The eldest lady of our second master was elected as the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace and was crowned as a virtuous concubine, how can this big happy event not be celebrated lively? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the main entrance on the west side again, showing off a little sour: "Didn't you see it before, there were countless firecrackers in front of the main entrance, and then two large truckloads of shredded paper were swept out!" ”

Tut~

There is a virtuous concubine inside, and a prince Teng outside.

With these two powerful arms, how did Jiafu decay later?

Thinking of these things, Sun Shaozong handed over the horse to Menzi to take care of, and followed Na Long'er across the threshold.

All the way through the house, I saw a lot of little women, pointing and poking at him in the dark, thinking that after Jia Lian and others returned to the house, they talked to people about the salt lord at the beginning, which attracted many curious people.

Sun Shaozong thought that Long'er would lead him to the living room, or the courtyard where Jia Lian lived, but who knew that he turned left and right, but entered a delicate and compact garden.

I saw Long'er pointing to the rockery in the middle, and said with a smile: "Our master saw that it was snowing, so he asked people to clean up the pavilion, saying that he wanted to 'cook wine and talk about heroes' with you." ”

Sun Shaozong doesn't know if he is a hero, but Jia Lian is not a designated person!

The two of them went up the spiral stone steps to the top of the mountain, and saw that there were four or five pots of silver frost charcoal in the vermilion red pavilion, and Jia Lian was still holding a hand stove in his arms, and laughed there: "It turned out that Erlang had arrived, and I looked at it from a distance and thought it was an old bear." ”

Sun Shaozong was draped in a black coat, so he said this.

Sun Shaozong also laughed, pointing to the dark purple robe on Jia Lian's body and said; "Don't say it's not an old bear, just really jump out of a few, and when you see Uncle Guo, your purple qi coming from the east, I'm afraid that I have to be scared and retreat."

"What kind of uncle am I, Baoyu is called the uncle of the country." Jia Lian was proud and modest, and welcomed Sun Shaozong into the pavilion.

I saw a silver basin on the stone table in the middle, and the silver basin was filled with a shallow layer of hot water, and a few beautifully carved small gold boats were placed in the middle.

Seeing Sun Shaozong looking at the silver and gold boats, Jia Lian reached out and opened the roof of one of the gold ships, and the rich aroma of wine suddenly came out of his nose - but it turned out that the gold boats were actually cups for cooking wine.

Sure enough, it's a first-class luxury family!

Sun Shaozong praised a few times, and as soon as he sat down with Jia Lian, he heard a rush of footsteps from far and near.

The two looked over, but what they saw was the man who had just led the horse for Sun Shaozong.

Seeing that he was panting like a cow, without any trace of the dignity of a big family, Jia Lian felt a little unhappy, slapped the hand stove on the table, and scolded loudly from a distance: "Good dog, you are in a hurry to reincarnate?!" ”

The man ate his scolding, hurriedly hurried a few steps forward, and said hurriedly: "Second master, it's not a small incursion, it's really a few people from Shuntianfu outside the door, saying that there is a murder case in Yunshui Lane, and I want to ask the master to go over to investigate the case!" ”

Homicide case?

Sun Shaozong frowned when he heard this, according to that order, he would officially go to Shuntianfu to take office after the year, how could he find him when there was a murder a year ago? And Baba's found Rongguo Mansion!

was pondering what was wrong with this, but Jia Lian scolded again: "You dog has hysteria?" There is a Shuntian Mansion in our house, but where did he come from? ! ”

Menzi didn't dare to tell the difference, so he had to look at Sun Shaozong.

"Alas~"

Sun Shaozong sighed, got up and said, "Second Brother Lian, I'm afraid our 'hero' won't be able to talk about it today!" I only received the order at noon yesterday, and after the New Year, I will go to Shuntianfu to do the sentence - who would have thought that just a day later, this trouble will come to the door. ”

He deliberately emphasized the words 'after the Chinese New Year', originally to arouse Jia Lian's suspicions, relying on the name of Xinkeguo's uncle to help him find out.

Who knew that Jia Lian didn't notice what he really meant, as soon as he heard that Sun Shaozong had made a general sentence in Shuntianfu, and was about to investigate the murder, his two eyes suddenly glowed, and he said with joy: "Since it is a big case where human life is at stake, then what are we waiting for?" I've grown so big, and I've never seen anyone else investigate a case! ”

As he spoke, he raised his voice and ordered: "Xing'er, go and talk back to your second grandmother, and say that I will accompany the second master of the Sun family to solve the strange murder case, and I won't eat at home at noon!" ”

Sun Shaozong was speechless when he heard it, but he couldn't express the concerns in his heart, so he had to ask someone to send a message to Ruan Rong, so that she could stay in Rongguo Mansion and complain to Lin Daiyu with peace of mind, and after going to the scene of the crime, it would not be too late for him to come back to pick her up.
