Chapter 648: The Daily Life of the Sun Mansion [X+N]
[It's impossible to be a eunuch, it's just that in the past two days, my daughter has returned to school to look at her scores, and she has held a parent-teacher conference - plus the exam is okay, and the family went out to celebrate her, so it was delayed.
Another: Starting tomorrow, strive for one chapter each in the afternoon and evening]
Nothing to say all the way.
But when Sun Shaozong arrived at his house, he saw Ruan Rong scanning the gift list with a red envelope, and couldn't help frowning: "This is the one who sent the gift again?" Didn't I say it's hard to receive gifts lately? β
When this new official takes office, he also has the power to review prison lawsuits in the world, and it is rare for someone to come to the door to seek to overturn the case.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong ordered his family early in the morning, even relatives and friends sent gifts, and they all returned as they were.
"The ones sent by the Xue family on Zijin Street are all fresh shrimp and crabs, and it is a practice over the years, so it is inappropriate not to accept them."
Ruan Rong got up from the table as she spoke, stuffed the gift slip to Sun Shaozong, and then took the opportunity to help him take off his coat and hand it over to Pomegranate.
Hearing that it was the shrimp and crab sent by Xue Pan, Sun Shaozong was also relieved.
Because of the operation of more than a dozen fishing boats in Jinmen Mansion, the Xue family has sent seafood to Jiafu, Wang's family, and Sun's family over the years, and it has long been a common practice.
However, Sun Shaozong glanced at the gift list, but he saw something strange.
"Sixty-six Songjiang perch? Also had this thing in the first two years? β
"I heard that it was brought by the young master of the Xue family, so I also sent some by the way." Ruan Rong waited for him to wash up, and said casually: "People are afraid that the chef in our house won't be able to do it, so they specially sent a recipe." β
Xue Zhen brought it?
Sun Shaozong groaned slightly, and then ordered the small kitchen to burn a few according to that recipe.
When the four-gill perch was on the table, he took some tender meat with chopsticks, rolled it in the sauce next to him a few times, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully for a long time, and nodded: "Sure enough, this is the taste." β
When passing by Jinling at the beginning, Wang Ren set up a banquet to entertain, and there was a sea bass on the table that was extremely delicious, which attracted Sun Shaozong's praise.
At that time, Xue Zhen was also sitting on the side, thinking that he had kept it in mind at that time, and later deliberately found a recipe and sent these perch over thousands of miles.
He's really distracted.
You must know that the present is not as good as the future generations, transporting perch from Songjiang, and the cost alone is enough to ruin a few ordinary people's families.
Not to mention that this is still the signature dish of that restaurant, if you want to buy it, I am afraid that it may not be possible to do it for 100 taels of silver.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Sun Shaozong had eaten a bite of the fish, he stopped and looked thoughtful, not like he usually gobbled it up.
Ruan Rong also tasted it carefully, and found that in addition to the delicious taste, there was nothing wrong, so she couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the young master of the Xue family?" β
"It's not inappropriate."
Sun Shaozong shook his head and said: "His family has had some conflicts with the Zhen family in Jiangnan recently, and there is probably a place to borrow from me." β
Speaking of this, seeing that Ruan Rong showed some regret on her face, she smiled again: "This has nothing to do with my errand in Dali Temple, and if I accept it, I will accept it - besides, Xue Zhen is also a character, as long as things are not too troublesome, it is nothing to sell his personal favor." β
When Ruan Rong heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't dare to take it lightly, so she continued to inquire why the Xue family had a conflict with the Zhen family.
"If the two families really want to talk about it, they can be regarded as relatives, how can they make trouble in Beijing?"
"It's true that you are close to each other."
Sun Shaozong took some of the crab meat that was picked out, dipped it in the condiment, half of his mouth was upside down, and half of his mouth said inarticulately: "But the Zhen family is in big trouble now, so they can't care about the relationship between distant relatives and neighbors."
If Ruan Rong had asked about this matter a day in advance, Sun Shaozong might not have been able to answer it - in fact, even Xue Zhen himself couldn't understand why the Zhen family had suddenly become so unsympathetic.
However, after listening to the report of Chen Jingde, the deputy of Zuo Temple, Sun Shaozong suddenly figured out the cause and effect.
That Chen Jingde was assigned yesterday to investigate the case of Lu Haoran's untimely death in the Ministry of Households, and it turned out that this Lord Lu was ordered to secretly investigate the arrears of the state treasury before his death.
And Sun Shaozong didn't need to investigate, he dared to conclude that the Zhen family must be at the top of the arrears list!
After all, the story of the Emperor Taishang's sixth tour of the south of the Yangtze River, and the story of the Zhen family's four successions has been circulated in the circle of honors and nobles in the capital for more than 20 years.
How much does it cost millions?
No matter how much the Zhen family has savings, they can't afford to fill in such a mountain of gold and silver, so most of it is silver borrowed from the treasury.
Later, I never heard that his family had any move to repay the money.
I think the Zhen family also heard that the imperial court intends to clean up the arrears - although it is a secret investigation, but with the Zhen family's business in recent decades, it is normal to hear some rumors - so I panicked.
Although there is the Emperor Taishang at the moment, this silver may not be recovered to his family, but after all, the Emperor Taishang is more than 80 people, and once he dies one day......
Especially since the Longgen case, the differences between the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor have been increasing day by day, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Majesty today will never go to the ground in the name of 'Xiao Gui Cao Sui'!
That's why the Zhen family wants to plug this hole as soon as possible, so as not to be turned over when the time comesβand since their lives are at stake, they naturally can't care about their distant relatives and neighbors.
Of course, the intricacies of this are not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, and there is no need to talk too much about the mother-in-law at home.
So he explained a little, and seeing that the three girls on the table seemed to understand whether they understood or not, Sun Shaozong changed the topic again, pointed to the plate of Songjiang perch with chopsticks and said: "Ming'er remember to send a cook to Li Xian's house to cook it for their father and son to taste." β
"It's still thoughtful that the old man thinks."
Ruan Rong smiled: "I was thinking about sending some shrimp and crabs over, but I forgot that no one on his stove would fiddle with these things." β
Because she knew that Sun Shaozong valued this 'disciple' very much, Ruan Rong always had to send something over during the New Year's holidays.
Intelligence, filial piety, knowledge of advance and retreat, knowledge of etiquette......
The most important thing is that at the age of fourteen, he won the fame in one fell swoop!
Such a young talent must be vigorously supported and co-opted.
Seeing that the topic caused by this Songjiang perch has been almost said, Sun Shaozong is about to shake off his cheeks and sacrifice the five internal organs temple first.
As soon as the chopsticks poked on the roast suckling pig, a little maid outside came in to report, saying that the eldest lady had sent Si Qi over to pass the word.
When everyone at the next table was busy, they all got up to greet each other - Si Qi had already carried her aunt last year, but she was still waiting by Jia Yingchun's side.
Although the aunt on the other side of the big house is not very valuable, but since her position is different, everyone is not good at treating her.
Sun Shaozong said 'please', and saw Si Qi enter the house in a hurry, saluted each other with Sun Shaozong, and said everything that happened in Rongguo's mansion one by one.
At the end, she added: "Bao Gongzi asked our wife to pass the word, saying that when the second master was resting, he would lead the third master to come to the door to make amends." β
Listening to Jia Baoyu's words, especially about Qingwen, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but smile and said: "In the past two years, he has really grown a lot in terms of human affairs. β
Si Qi waited for a moment, and saw that he didn't say anything else, so he said to Ruan Rong and the others on the side: "A few sisters, my wife took Miss Xing back for vacation, saying that she wanted to keep her for a few daysβbecause there was a mess in that house, I was afraid of polluting her ears and eyes, so I wanted to ask you to come over and talk with her." β
Although this Si Qi also carried his aunt, he obviously didn't treat himself the same as those wanderers.
Since giving birth to the eldest grandson and heir, Jia Yingchun's status in the backyard is unmatched, since she spoke, Ruan Rong and the others are not easy to shirk, so they all nodded in response, saying that they will go to sit down in a while.
When Si Qi went in a hurry again, the family sat down again, and Sun Shaozong raised his chopsticks, just about to complete the unsuccessful 'career'.
But suddenly heard Ruan Rong say sourly: "By the way, speaking of this, there is still a master in our firewood room who doesn't eat or drink, what should I do, the master has an idea-can't let her die in our house, right?" β
This is naturally Caixia.
It seems that the second daughter slept in a daze that day, and she still made her jealous.
Sun Shaozong took out a few pieces of honey barbecued pork from the belly of the roast suckling pig, stuffed them into Ruan Rong's plate, and said with a smile: "This matter is indeed my lack of virtue after drinking, and I will not take an example, and I will not take an example." β
"Humph!"
Ruan Rong snorted coldly: "There are just two maids on the left and right, the master wants to use it, who can stop it?" It's just that the master chooses the one who is satisfied, so as not to cause a commotion in vain! β
"Look at you."
Sun Shaozong knew that he was at a loss, and hurriedly pointed to the children on the small table and said, "The children are in front of them, what are you talking about?" β
Without waiting for Ruan Rong to respond, he said to Xiangling in a serious manner: "In a few months, the eldest brother will be three weeks, and I will hand over all the errands of Mengxue to you at that time." β
As soon as these words came out, Ruan Rong's attention was really diverted, and she couldn't take care of eating, so she discussed with Xiangling about her son's upbringing.
Sun Shaozong hurriedly took the opportunity to fill his stomach, and quietly walked out of the hall and went straight to the firewood room in the front yard. ()
