"Mother."

Zou Qingyun bowed, and when he looked up again, he saw that the princess was in a trance, and she didn't notice herself at all, so she had to raise her voice and call: "Niangniang!" ”

The crown princess came to her senses at this time, and hurriedly straightened up and asked, "Lord Sun is gone?" ”

"His Highness personally sent it out of the mansion."

Zou Qingyun said, stepped forward to fill the tea bowl beside the crown princess, swept his eyes suspiciously, and wondered, "What about the two little hooves?" Why don't you know that you're waiting by the side? ”

"I sent them to invite Liu Zhaoyi and Wang Cairen."

The crown princess replied lightly, but Zou Qingyun immediately wrinkled her brows, and stopped talking a few times, but after all, she just sighed.

Early this morning, when the crown princess condescendingly looked at the courtyard, she had already guessed that Niangniang must be repaying her grievances with virtue again.

So far, no matter how much I persuade myself, I am afraid that it will not help.

Fortunately, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is around, there is no room for those two cheap maids to show themselves, and they are not afraid that they will be as pampered and spoiled as they were at the beginning.

"!"

At this moment, two palace maids walked in from outside, and after giving the salute, you look at me, I look at you, but they all expect each other to take the initiative to speak.

Seeing this, Zou Qingyun was unhappy when he just suppressed it, and then he churned out from the bottom of his heart, and scolded in front of the crown princess: "What kind of demons are you two squeezing your eyebrows? Say! Isn't it those two little ......?"

was quick for a while, and almost spit out the word 'slut', but after she reacted, she hurriedly changed her words: "Didn't you be ordered to invite Liu Zhaoyi and Wang Cairen, why can't you see the two of them?" ”

"This ......"

The two palace maids glanced at each other again, but they were still distracted, and their faces gradually turned red.

Seeing this, Zou Qingyun thought that he was right, and immediately turned around and complained in a suppressed voice: "Although Niangniang has always been kind and generous, she must first distinguish whether she is a human or a ghost!" As soon as there is a turning point, I don't take your instructions seriously, and I don't know how to make waves in the future! ”

The crown princess only smiled and said nothing.

The biggest skill of Liu Zhaoyi and Wang Cairen is just to blow the pillow wind.

Don't say that Sun Shaozong has no courage to bring the two titled concubines home, even if they really take them back, what do the two of them say in Sun Shaozong's ear, and it will affect them if it is difficult to bring it?

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly jumped, and she didn't know what she remembered, and her face was inexplicably hot.

In order to hide her embarrassment, the crown princess hurriedly raised her voice and asked, "What the hell is going on, you two are not as good as telling the truth!" ”

The two palace maids listened to Niangniang's question, and then you said one by one: "Niangniang, the two of us arrived in that courtyard, and Liu Zhaoyi and Wang Cairen hadn't gotten up yet." ”

"It's said that it was inconvenient, and we didn't believe it at first, so we just thought it was deliberately taking Joe."

"Later, I saw that I was indeed traumatized, and I walked with a limp."

"They are afraid that they may not be able to come over in a while, so we will come back first to report, so as not to worry about the mother."

After saying this, the hall could hear the needles falling.

And the flush on the princess's face has long been unstoppable, but fortunately, Zou Qingyun next to her is not light, but it doesn't look dazzling.

In this way, the four masters and servants looked at each other, and they all had some wandering things, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

…………

However, it was said that after Sun Shaozong left the prince's mansion, he was in a trance when he read the prince's promise all the way.

When the carriage stopped, I found that I had arrived at my house, not the Yamen of Dali Temple.

Get~

I'm late again.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that I will really have to sit on the name of the real corpse meal.

But since he was already late, he didn't bother to hurry to the mansion, so he simply went back to the backyard, where Xiangling and Qingwen waited for him to take a shower, and changed his clothes inside and out.

When I was tidy up, I was about to set off again and rush to the yamen, when I heard a report from the front, saying that there were two obituaries in the house, one for Aunt You's mother and daughter, and one for the eldest wife Jia Yingchun, but the content was the same:

Jia Jing, the old lady of Ning Guofu, died.

This Jia Jing is the father of Jia Zhen, the eldest lord of Ningguo Mansion, and he is a cousin with Jia Yu and Jia Zheng in terms of seniority, but he is more than ten years older.

At the beginning, this Jia Jing was also admitted to the Jinshi, and later he was obsessed with refining the Tao and becoming an immortal, and he was impatient with the troubles of the world, so he simply moved to the Xuanzhen Temple outside the city to become a Taoist.

Of course, this is only rhetoric.

When Sun Shaozong was guarding the river embankment, he also saw Jia Jing in Xuanzhen Temple, and when he looked at this old gentleman, he didn't look like a quiet and inactive person.

In fact, according to the original Dream of Red Mansions, this Jia Jinghe should have half a year to live, and he will not die until next summer.

But in the past two years, as Emperor Guangde has become more and more convinced of Fangshi, the gods and ghosts have been like dog urine moss.

And the recipe for burning Jindan has more than a dozen kinds for no reason, and the effect is more mysterious than the other, ordinary people can't tell the truth from the fake, so they may not dare to try it easily.

Na Jia Jing is an obsession, it can really be said that he does not refuse, and he doesn't know how much lead and mercury he swallows every day, and he can survive until now, which is already a big bargain.

Without further ado.

said that Sun Shaozong learned about it, so he went to Second Sister You's house again and changed into plain civilian clothes.

After all, whether it is from Second Sister You or from the eldest sister-in-law Jia Yingchun, the two families can also climb to relatives.

Now that the eldest brother is not in the capital, it is reasonable for him to accompany Jia Yingchun and Second Sister You to Ningguo Mansion for a visit.

Of course, Sun Shaozong went back to Ningguo Mansion this time, in addition to paying tribute to Jia Jing, he also had other thoughts - he had been back for more than a month, and after several mistakes, he had never seen You Shisheng's son until now.

This time I went to mourn, and by the way, I saw what the cheap son looked like, which can be regarded as both public and private.

As expected.

As soon as he changed into plain clothes here, Jia Yingchun sent a mandarin duck over and asked him if he was free today.

Sun Shaozong immediately found Cho Joong Ki and asked him to prepare according to the routine.

So the house put down the ingots candles, the paper money, the three animal sacrifices, and the ninety-nine eighty-one hanging firecrackers, echoed by the front of the eight horsemen, six carriages in the center, three carts, and a healthy servant carrying the burden of hairpin white flowers, all the way to the Ningguo Mansion and go.

There were no words on the road.

When I arrived outside the gate of Ningguo Mansion, I saw countless cars and horses in a long queue, and I was afraid that it would be a little more lively than when Concubine De visited her relatives.

Sun Shaozong was a little suspicious in his heart, Ning Guofu has long been in decline now, and almost all of it relies on the support of Rongguo Mansion, but how can every time he has a funeral, he is so in a hurry?

What Qin Keqing's funeral was last time, it is rumored that it was because the Niu family wanted to take the opportunity to integrate the noble forces, so it was in an uproar.

So what does that mean now?

Is it because of Jia Yuanchun, so the big guys love the house and Wu?

But this twist and turn, it's a bit far, right?

was picking up the curtains and looking out, Caixia suddenly rushed over from behind, and said through the window: "Second master, my aunt wants to invite you over to talk, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”

In addition to Second Sister You, there was also her mother, who was open-eyed, so Sun Shaozong didn't go with her in the car.

At this time, I suddenly came to invite, and I don't know why.

Looking at this posture left and right, I can't squeeze in for a while - if it was only Sun Shaozong himself, he could get out of the car and walk, but Jia Yingchun and Second Sister You were not very convenient.

Even if Ning Guofu gets the gift, it will take a certain amount of time to send people to think about it.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong got out of the carriage and strode to the third carriage.

Originally, I wanted to talk in the car, but I didn't think that Caixia was standing next to the carriage, blocking the way to get on the bus.

Sun Shaozong was a little puzzled, and suddenly saw the car jump, revealing a charming face, and said coquettishly: "Little sister has seen brother-in-law." ”

But it turned out that Third Sister You was also in this car.

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but wonder: "When did you arrive, why didn't you see Brother Liu Xian?" ”

"I've been waiting here for about a quarter of an hour."

Third Sister You said helplessly: "The princess is impatient, so I went to Rongguo Mansion to visit Uncle Guo, I just heard that my mother and sister have arrived, so I also looked for it alone." ”

Sun Shaozong was stunned after hearing this, but he couldn't help frowning, and said unhappily: "Why are they so lazy in the house? So you waited here for two quarters of an hour, and you didn't send anyone to lead and wait? ”

Even if there are many people who come to mourn, relatives should always take extra care, especially Liu Xianglian, nominally speaking, she is also closer than her relationship with Ning Guofu - after all, she married Second Sister You as a concubine, but Third Sister You was married by Ming Media.

Third Sister You was obviously not very happy, but now that she was a woman, she was no longer as wanton as her sister-in-law when she was alone, so she still smiled and covered up Ning Guofu: "Xu is too busy to take care of it for a while." ”

As he was talking, he heard the neighing of horses in front of him, and then the two minions of Ning Guofu, under the guidance of Liu Xianglian's only servant, squeezed over like thorns.

When they got closer, the three of them were busy slanting their shoulders and flattering, and stepped forward to salute Sun Shaozong.

Sun Shaozong didn't bother to be polite with them, and asked directly: "Why did you come out at this time?" ”

"Lord Sun is angry!"

The servants of Ning Guofu hurriedly said: "Just now, our wife saw that she couldn't come, so she personally went to the West Mansion to ask for reinforcements, and just returned to the mansion, I heard that the third lady and his wife were outside, so they were anxious to let us come and invite it." ”

I see.

Sun Shaozong was relieved, but after thinking about it, he became puzzled again: "Your wife is not here, is it possible that Brother Zhen and Brother Rong are not in the house either?" ”

"Whew, don't mention it!"

The slave said with a sad face: "This is almost the end of the year, our lord is in a good mood this year, so he simply took the two masters to the south to buy New Year's goods, who would have thought that just six or seven days ago, there would be such a big thing at home!" ”

Speaking of this, he raised his hand and pointed to the Rongguo Mansion next door, and said: "According to our wife's meaning, at the moment, this war is in chaos, and others are not good at losing their manners, so our own relatives might as well go around the Grand View Garden." ”

According to the rules of the time, relatives should come to mourn from the main entrance.

But looking at the current chaotic situation, I really have to wait at the gate, and I don't know when.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong discussed with Jia Yingchun, took a detour from the Grand View Garden, and entered Ningguo Mansion through the back door.
