Originally, Sun Shaozong thought that Wei Ruolan would definitely hesitate for a few days, until he pretended to take back the bait, and then he couldn't help but bite the hook officially.

But he obviously underestimated Wei Gongzi's eagerness for revenge, as well as the self-confidence of the fan that had accumulated over the years.

Before the dismissal of the government in the afternoon, Lin Delu came to report that Wei Ruolan had decided to replace Sun Shaozong and rectify the discipline of the criminal department-but he did not immediately announce the meaning of the charter, but said that he would consider it again.

Hearing the word 'deliberation', Sun Shaozong couldn't help laughing, the key to this bait is in the four words 'rectification of discipline', since the tone has been set, even if Wei Ruolan is dead on the details, what effect can it have?

It seems that the Wei family is really incompetent!

Now that the fish has been hooked, Sun Shaozong naturally has no worries, and seeing that the time is almost up, Shi Shiran left the mansion and rushed to his home.

After returning home, he first called Zhao Zhongji and asked him to send someone to Xue's house on Zijin Street to deliver the message, saying that he would visit him in half an hour, and asked Xue Pan not to go out at that time.

This time I left Beijing on a business trip, I definitely couldn't catch up with Xue Pan's wedding on the ninth day of the third month, no matter how I said it, I should tell him a crime, and the congratulatory gifts that had been prepared long ago must also be presented in advance.

After explaining this matter, Sun Shaozong asked about the whereabouts of the cheap brother by the way, and learned that he had not come back yet, and it was very likely that he would spend the night in the barracks, so he went back to the backyard.

In fact, he looked for Sun Shaozu, in addition to saying that he was about to leave Beijing on business, he also wanted to entrust it to the cheap eldest brother, and after he left Beijing, he opened up to call Han Anbang, it is best to reverse the annoyance of the girl, and see if he dares to make a promise easily.

While there was still some time, Sun Shaozong called Xiangling and Ruan Rong together, and said briefly about going to Jinmen to participate in the listing ceremony of the Governor's Palace-Xiangling is now pregnant, Ruan Rong has finished her confinement, and she has just been with him for a few days, so she is naturally reluctant.

However, since he is practicing in the public gate, it is inevitable that he will not be able to help himself.

After that, the three of them sat around and talked about the parents.

Because this one is a first-time mother, and the other is pregnant, most of them are talking about children, but fortunately, Sun Shaozong is also a first-time father, and he doesn't feel bored when he listens.

About half an hour later, seeing that the time was almost up, Sun Shaozong brought all the gifts and set off to rush to Xue's house on Zijin Street.

This time, I didn't see the two baby elephants, it seems that Xue Pan was just to show off that day, and he usually didn't dare to let them really guard the door.

But he said that Xue Pan greeted the door, and saw that Sun Shaozong was followed by two servants, both holding exquisite gift boxes in their hands, but he was a little surprised: "Second brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

"You're right."

Sun Shaozong said helplessly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to come on the day of your wedding, so I have to come over first to confess my guilt and send the gift by the way." ”

"Why is that?"

Xue Pan's eyes widened suddenly, he was just angry that day, just talk about it, in fact, when the wedding was being prepared, he regarded Sun Shaozong as a first-class honored guest, and he was ready to invite his uncle Jia Zheng to accompany him personally, how could he say that he wouldn't come? !

"Didn't Lord Yin have an order for me to go to Jinmen next month to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Governor's Mansion in Zhili?"

Sun Shaozong said, and pointed behind him casually: "Let's put this gift away first, there is a bonsai of a coral jade tree, which can't stand the bumps and beatings." ”

It is not easy to collect red coral in these years, so the value is extremely high, and it is not because the Sun family has sold seafood for two years and accumulated several pieces of this thing, and Sun Shaozong may not be willing to give it away.

Listening to what Sun Shaozong said solemnly, Xue Pan naturally knew that this was a heavy gift, so he hurriedly asked people to accept the gift, carefully put it into the warehouse, and then invited Sun Shaozong to the living room and asked people to set up a banquet to entertain him personally.

Not to mention how the two of them drank and had fun in the front hall, just said that in the back house of the Xue family, Aunt Xue saw that the sky was getting dark, so she was ready to unload the pearl emeralds on her head, and she would be more relaxed when she had a meal for a while.

Who knew that at this time, a mother-in-law reported that a distinguished guest had come in front, and the uncle was drinking with him, and he was afraid that he would not have time to eat with his mother at night.

Although Xue Pan is a stupid overlord who is not stingy, but with his money-squandering and honest temperament, he has also made a lot of fox friends and dog friends, and this door-to-door harassment is also a common thing.

But among them, there are only a handful of people who can be called distinguished guests.

Therefore, Aunt Xue asked with some curiosity: "But I don't know if it is the Yanai and Gongzi of that family?" ”

"My wife has seen it before."

The mother-in-law hurriedly smiled and said: "It is the master Sun of Shuntianfu, our uncle is most convinced by this Lord Sun, he finally came to the door, and the uncle naturally wanted to accompany Haosheng to drink a few cups." ”

It turned out to be him!

Although the number of times she saw Sun Shaozong was far lower than that of Feng Ziying and others, the two completely different encounters made Aunt Xue's memory of Sun Shaozong far more profound than others.

Now that I heard that this 'disciple' had come to her house as a guest again, Aunt Xue felt like grass had grown in her heart, and she had a lot of eager thoughts.

Since last winter, after 'losing face' in the Zijin Temple, she has put a lot of effort into maintaining herself, and her sister Mrs. Wang saw it, and praised her for being younger and younger, and her skin and flesh were firm and smooth and almost catching up with Baochai.

Now that the 'frivolous prodigal' came alone, without the scruples of his wife and concubine, if she showed her true face in front of him, she should be able to show her ugliness like when they first met, right?

Thinking like this, Aunt Xue was not in a hurry to remove her makeup, and after sending the woman away, she went to the dresser to make up some makeup, but she was still a little dissatisfied when she looked left and right.

So she changed into a light green lace bandeau dress, and saw that under the backdrop of the imitation Tang gauze skirt, the beautiful woman in the mirror was dignified and noble, and she revealed three points of demonic elegance, so she left the dresser with great satisfaction.

It's just that......

She was full of anticipation, but she didn't know what to do, so that she might have the opportunity to meet the 'nasty billow' and induce him to show all kinds of ugliness.

After all, in the final analysis, Aunt Xue is just a deep lady with some delicate thoughts, and she is not a witty and talented woman - otherwise the Xue family would not have been reduced to marrying a slutty girl in order to inherit the title passed down from her ancestors.

In this way, she didn't know how long she had been wandering around the house, and she was still helpless.

was hesitating to simply extinguish this ridiculous thought, but suddenly heard the panicked report of the maid outside: "Mrs., Mrs., the uncle has drunk a lot of wine in the living room, where is he crying and making trouble, and he still can't live...... Keep saying bad things about the young grandmother, how do you think this is good? ”

"Why is this evil obstacle causing trouble again?!"

Aunt Xue was angry at first, but then she couldn't help but light up, and hurriedly raised her voice and ordered: "Quickly call Mother Zhang and Li Erzhu's family, and come with me to help the uncle back to the backyard!" ”8)
