Chapter 117: A Visitor from Jinling

For this autumn season, Sun Shaozong failed to enter the house for more than ten days.

Out of Beizhen Fusi, he is naturally like an arrow.

Galloping all the way.

When I arrived outside the door of Desun Mansion, I saw that the old housekeeper Wei Licai and the second housekeeper Zhao Zhongji were waiting outside the door, but there was no trace of the cheap big brother.

Sun Shaozong was a little puzzled, and hurriedly called Cho Joong Ki to inquire, only to know that the cheap eldest brother was transferred outside the city to take care of the victims, and he has not returned home for six or seven days.

"Uncle has worked hard this time, but it's not in vain."

I heard Zhao Joong Ki say with a smile: "I got more than a dozen beauties back before and after, and everyone in our house has a share in a few stewards, and there are even eight in the second master's room in one go!" ”

This cheap big brother is really a thief who doesn't go empty!

But......

He clearly warned him not to stuff women in Ruan Rong's pregnancy, why did he still make a fuss?

Besides, isn't there already Xiangling?

Sun Shaozong thought like this, so he was ready to go back to the backyard to see what was going on, if Ruan Rong didn't like those newcomers, he would send them to other courtyards to settle down first-if he really couldn't do it, he would just learn from Jiafu, and simply ask someone to train him to become a drama.

Who knew that Zhao Zhongji chased after him again and said, "Second master, in the afternoon, Uncle Xue sent an invitation, inviting you to go to his house for a banquet on the sixth day of the ninth lunar month. ”

Sun Shaozong paused and wondered: "What kind of guest is this guy invited?" ”

Zhao Zhongji is not very sure: "Eighty percent is the joy of housewarming, because the address written on the invitation is not Rongguo Mansion, but Xue Mansion on Zijin Street." ”

The joy of housewarming?

In this way, the marriage between Xue Pan and the daughter of the Wang family should have been decided, otherwise, there would be no need to move out of Rongguo Mansion in such a hurry.

"Anything else? You just finish talking together! ”

"Yes, yes!"

Zhao Zhongji said again: "There is also Jinling's hometown, where some local products were sent yesterday. ”

Like the four major families of Jia Shi and Wang Xue, the ancestors of the Sun family are also from Jinling, otherwise they would not have a relationship with Jiafu.

Like all the founding heroes, after the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors of the Sun family separated from the Jinling clan and set up another portal in the capital.

However, he did not cut off contact with his relatives in his hometown because of this.

In the years when the Sun family brothers fell into the middle of the project, the Jinling clan also sent people to take the two brothers back to Jinling to take care of them.

Although Sun Shaozu did not agree at that time, this favor was recorded.

Therefore, when he heard that it was from Jinling, Sun Shaozong naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked: "Has the person left?" If you don't leave, call me and I'll see you first. ”

"Naturally, he didn't leave, he didn't see the uncle and the second master, how could he explain when he went back? Now that he is living in the East Wing Room, I will go and call him. ”

said that Zhao Joong Ki went in a hurry, and after a short period of effort, he led a strong man in his early twenties.

The man walked a few steps into the door, knelt on the ground with a puff, kowtowed, and said, "Villain Sun Xi, I've seen the second master!" ”

The names of the children of the Sun family are all three characters, and those with a single name like this are generally slaves with surnames raised since childhood.

"Get up."

Sun Shaozong stretched out his hand and helped him, and after Sun Xi got up, he asked, "How are the uncles and brothers in the family?" ”

"Thanks to the second master, the old ladies are all fine." Sun Xi arched his hand and smiled: "Especially in the past two years, several brothers in the house have been instructed by famous teachers, and they are also considered to be famous in Jinling, and there are five people in our family who will take the exam in the autumn of this year!" ”

On the Jinling side, although it is not like the Beijing branch, three generations can sit above the third grade [Shaozi generation is the fourth generation], but it has embarked on the road of cultivating and reading heirlooms early, and Jinshi has intermittently produced two or three, and people are even more stubble after stubble.

Now that he dares to spread the big words to the capital, he must be quite sure.

Other than that......

This Sun Xi mentioned the imperial examination first as soon as they met, I am afraid it is not just a boast.

Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, and then suddenly said: "Aren't a few nephews trying to try next year's spring festival in one go?" ”

The Shao characters over there in Jinling are about the same age as Sun Shaozu, so the so-called brothers are naturally Sun Shaozong's nephews.

"No wonder the second master broke into the reputation of Nuoda, he really guessed it!"

Sun Xi picked up the thumb brother, and said with a smile: "When I went out, the old lady explained, let the villain prepare a clean place for the buddies in the capital first, and then let the buddies go to Beijing to prepare for the exam before the winter." ”

"What else is there to prepare for, it's not like we don't have a place to live in our house." Sun Shaozong immediately said: "Ming'er asked Steward Zhao to take you around to see which yards are suitable, and I will vacate them for my nephews!" ”

Sun Xi was about to say a few polite words, but Sun Shaozong waved his hand again, and said impatiently: "Okay, I have been very tired of invigilating in the Gongyuan for a few days, and I really don't have the heart to talk to you, so this matter is settled." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned again: "Steward Zhao, take Sun Xi down to rest - from this month onwards, he will receive another amount of money from our house, and the amount will be higher than your monthly example." ”

Cho Joong Ki agreed, and stepped forward to lead Sun Hee, who was very grateful.

After the two of them left, Sun Shaozong also went to the backyard by himself.

Ruan Rong had been waiting there for a long time, and it was inconvenient for her to come out, so she sent Xiangling as a representative, leading a group of warblers and Yanyan to wait at the gate of the courtyard for a long time.

Most of them are fresh faces, obviously the eight beauty embryos that Cho Joong Ki said.

But......

This is also a bit 'embryo', right?

The younger one is only eight or nine years old, and the older one is only eleven or twelve - the cheap big brother is not preparing a group of 'cloud spare tires' for himself?

Sun Shaozong was speechless, Xiangling had already greeted him happily, and said with a deep salute: "Master, you can be regarded as back, my sister has asked more than a dozen times!" ”

"What about you? Do you miss me? ”

Sun Shaozong smiled, seeing Xiangling's pretty face red, he couldn't help but want to step forward and hug her for affection.

But after thinking about it, he had just come out of the morgue, so he hurriedly said: "Hurry up and prepare a bath bucket for me, master, I want to wash it well, and go to get rid of the bad luck and mildew on my body!" ”

After a pause, he said, "Go and talk to my aunt, and say that I have finished washing, and then I will go over to see her." ”

The maids were in a hurry, and then the bath bucket was placed in the west wing, and Xiangling led the two eleven or twelve-year-old girls to wait for Sun Shaozong to bathe and change clothes, and waited until the whole body was refreshed, and then hugged him to the upper room of the hall.

No wonder the ancients said that Gentle Township is a hero's grave.

This night, Sun Shaozong had a long talk with Ruan Rong in the first half of the night, chatting about some trivial matters of parents and children; In the second half of the night, he and Xiangling fought to the death in the West Chamber, and fought until they were exhausted and the sky was about to dawn.

What autumn troubles, what bloody cases, and what officialdom dumped, all of them were left behind by him!

It's a pity that this gentle township can only hide for a while, and it can't be avoided for a lifetime.

Just after noon the next day, Sun Shaozong was sleeping with Xiangling in his arms, and he listened to the maid's report, saying that Feng Xin came to visit.
