As Sun Shaozong expected, after Zhang Qiu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, learned the origin of the incident, he was immediately furious and shouted that his second son was going to make up for another stick in front of Sun and Liu.

Sun Shaozong tried his best to dissuade him, so that Zhang Qiu turned to his son and apologized to Liu Xianglian.

Next, the guests and hosts were naturally happy, Sun Shaozong and Zhang Qiu recalled the scene of the invigilation in the Gongyuan Academy, and talked about the current situation of the imperial examination, the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

Of course, this is only a façade.

In fact, Zhang Qiu took the initiative to break the festival and lowered his posture to cater to Sun Shaozong, which made the two talk happily.

Although Zhang Qiu did not say it explicitly until the end, Sun Shaozong vaguely sensed that this Shangshu Lord probably wanted to use himself, so he seemed so enthusiastic.

So by the time they were full, the two had already established a considerable degree of 'revolutionary friendship'.

…………

When I came out of Zhang Qiu's house, it was already a willow on the moon.

After separating from Liu Xianglian in front of the door, Sun Shaozong saw that it was not far from Li Xian's house, so he went over to visit.

After returning to Beijing, this was the first time he saw Li Xian's father Li Sheng, compared with the decadent sick man two years ago, Li Sheng's mental outlook has greatly improved, and when he is excited, his face is full of red light and foaming at the mouth.

But his body had completely collapsed.

Every piece of flesh and skin was shriveled and stuck to the bones, and it seemed that even the internal organs had shrunk.

It is estimated that after the spring of next year, no matter whether Li Xian can go high or not, he will take his last breath.

It can be seen that mediocre officials harm the people.

After bidding farewell to Li Xian's father and son, Sun Shaozong sighed along the way, after all, if he really had to take care of it, he was also jointly and severally responsible for lax supervision.

So when he returned to the house, he first called the porter Wang Jin and ordered him to summon Hong Jiu early tomorrow morning.

First, Hong Jiuyao's official identity has now been settled, and his title of beggar chief should be handed over to someone, and it is best to settle it as soon as possible.

Also, we must deal with the tail of the hand, and don't let any handle fall - if it is not surprising, it will not be long before the beggars will be greatly adjusted, investigated, and replaced.

This is to order him to spread the deeds of Li Xian's father and son widely in the capital.

In the spring of next year, Li Xian will only be fifteen years old.

This young genius is not only a gimmick, but also a burden - when Zhang Juzheng was thirteen years old, wasn't he deliberately suppressed for three years because he was too young?

In order to avoid this situation, it is natural to spread Li Xian's situation as early as possible, and shape a golden body with good and filial piety first, so that others will not dare to dethrone him because of his age.

That Wang Jin responded one by one, and when Sun Shaozong finished explaining, he was not in a hurry to retreat, but bowed down and reported: "Second master, when the eldest lady came back from Rongguo Mansion today, she specially ordered it, saying that she would take the time to go over when you go home." ”

Jia Yingchun is back to her parents' house today?

Sun Shaozong immediately asked, "Did Rongguo Mansion send someone to invite, or did the eldest lady take the initiative to go back to her parents' house?" ”

"It was Rongguo Mansion who sent someone early in the morning."

Tut~

Eighty percent is that Jia Yu can't wait, and it's not good to urge himself directly, so he wants his daughter to knock on the side.

But there may be something else to explain......

I took out my pocket watch and glanced at it, and found that it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, so how could the little uncle go to see his sister-in-law at this time?

At the moment, he ordered: "Find a mother-in-law to inform me at home, and say that I will work in the study tonight." ”

Wang Jin agreed, and then bowed and retreated.

Sun Shaozong took the lantern from Zhang Cheng's hand and rushed all the way to the backyard study.

Not to mention, Zhang Qiujia's wine is soft to drink, and the stamina is quite strong - especially when the wind blows, I feel that my face is swollen and my heart is hot.

Fortunately, he was still conscious.

After entering the study, Sun Shaozong first blew out the lanterns, lit two candlesticks with a fire fold, and placed them in front of the desk to make the illusion of working with candles.

After making preparations, Sun Shaozong quietly went to the back of the rockery, moved the big stone of more than 300 catties out of half of it, waited for it to enter the dark passage, and carefully put it back in place.

After walking more than 100 steps in the dark passage, and when he saw the end, Sun Shaozong bent his finger on the stone slab above his head, knocking three short and two long times a few times.

Before he could finish the code, he heard the click of the machine, causing the stone slab above his head to move horizontally, revealing a piece of light.

"Second master."

Xiu Tang held the candlestick and said happily: "I knew you were coming at night, and the slave maid has been waiting here." ”

When Sun Shaozong came out of the secret passage, Jia Yingchun also greeted him early, staring at Sun Shaozong with affection, but there were no words in her mouth - she has always been like this, otherwise she would not have been called Ermu at the beginning.

However, the embroidered orange was a talking basket, and while reclosing the mechanism, he smiled and said: "The second master is really drinking-you wait, I will bring the decanting soup." ”

As he spoke, he walked out on his own.

Sun Shaozong was about to call her back, so as not to alarm others.

Unexpectedly, she turned around and went to the corner, took out a food box like a treasure, and turned out the decanting soup and two light side dishes from the food box.

At the same time, Jia Yingchun also silently handed over a hot towel for Sun Shaozong to wipe his hands and face.

"After Xuzheng [eight o'clock in the evening], I haven't seen the second master coming, and my wife knows that you must be a wine bureau today, so I specially prepared a decanting soup."

Xiu Tang said, and invited credit for the master: "Our wife always holds her heart in her stomach, but when it comes to thinking about the second master, she is not half a little worse than others!" ”

Because the eldest brother is not in the capital, Sun Shaozong is afraid that he will accidentally go off the fire and make a 'black household' that can't be put on the table, so since the last time the uncle and sister-in-law came to harmony, they have not stepped into this place for half a step.

And he has just come back from going out for two years, and the two Jia Yingchun masters and servants have been hanging for a long time, so they are inevitably a little uneasy, so they have the words of embroidered oranges.

Sun Shaozong smiled, but he took Jia Yingchun, who was silent, into his arms, and while searching the mountains and water, he rubbed it wantonly, and at the same time put his mouth to her ear, and said some bastard words.

After only a moment's effort, Jia Yingchun seemed to be muddy, and there was no intention of resisting at all.

Seeing that he didn't even bother to drink the decanting soup, he wanted to take advantage of the joy to have a harmonious time in the hall, and suddenly heard the noise outside.

Sun Shaozong was quite calm, but Jia Yingchun jumped up on the spot, pulled his collar in a panic, and hid the spring light on his chest.

Seeing this, Sun Shaozong took advantage of the situation to pick up the sobering soup that night, and casually ordered: "Go out and take a look to see what's going on outside." ”

Xiu Tang got the order, hurriedly removed the latch, opened a small gap, and the shadow puppet also drilled out.

After a while, she returned to the hall again, and reported helplessly: "Don't be afraid, Mrs., it's the uncle who has drunk a few more glasses in the East Cross Courtyard, and is barefoot all over the yard to drink crazy." ”

It turned out that Xing Zhong drank too much again......

Sun Shaozong was a little speechless, that Xing Zhong had been in the Sun family at first, and he initially tried to sell his daughter, but later saw that Jia Yingchun was a good person, and his food and clothing on weekdays were much stronger than when he lived in Rongguo Mansion.

Sun Shaozong was speechless for a while, but Jia Yingchun had a misunderstanding, and hurriedly said: "I will let the mandarin ducks think of a way to send their father and daughter back to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow!" ”

"No need."

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said: "The left and right are also relatives, and there are not many idlers in our family - he can live as long as he wants." ”

As he spoke, a cat picked up Jia Yingchun horizontally and went inside.

Jia Yingchun hurriedly stretched out his hand to wrap his neck, but what he thought in his heart was: Could it be that the second master does have some thoughts about that cousin Xiuyan?
