The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 617: Birds of a feather flock together

It's really not beautiful.

I was holding back at home for seven or eight days, and the sky was clear. But just as soon as I decided to go out for a walk, there was a storm of storms.

Early that morning, Ruan Rong stirred up half a bowl of Crab Huang Bijing Congee, and said: "It was so good a few days ago, the master refused to go out to socialize, but today it is windy and rainy, and the master is making a fuss about going out. ! If this is caught in the wind and chill..."

"My body is not so delicate."

Sun Shaozong chewed his mouthful of hot and sour dried bamboo shoots, and said vaguely: "Furthermore, didn't you have no will a few days ago? As usual, the civil and military officials waiting for the court's award are all waiting at home."

One of the harvests of this trip to the south was that when I passed through Yangzhou on the return journey, I found someone planted a bunch of chili peppers, which he said was bought from a Westerner and prepared to grow it as a flower.

Sun Shaozong immediately gave Baoyuan, and brought it back to the capital to try to replace the cornel. The hot and sour dried bamboo shoots really became more delicious.

"Why is this?"

While asking questions, Ruan Rong put the chilled porridge on the side table.

His son Sun Chengyi was impatient with the spoon long ago. Seeing that there was only half a bowl, he swiped the spoon and poured the bowl into his mouth.

"This kid!"

Ruan Rong hurriedly took the veil and put a cushion on his neck, but where did he have time? I had no choice but to complain: "The new clothes I just changed were dirty again in a blink of an eye-I don't know when I can change my appearance!"

Sun Shaozong had a meal, but then he immediately picked up another chopsticks and stewed eggplant with chicken hearts, and nonchalantly started the negative textbook.

When Ruan Rong glared at him, he explained in a serious manner: "It is said that there was no such rule before. Later, some people made military merits and returned to the court, and the relationship between the capital and the city was reprimanded by the imperial court. If they disappeared, the latecomers stayed at home honestly, and gradually the convention became customary."

While I was talking and eating, I saw that the dishes on this table had been eaten up and down, but my son was still on the short table beside him, battling a few pieces of Jinhua ham stewed knuckles.

Sun Shaozong got up and walked around. He stamped a grease nozzle on his only clean forehead, and said with a smile: "My dear son, when Daddy comes back tonight, let's set off fireworks!"

As soon as the little guy heard the word fireworks, he immediately lost his fleshy bones, with two oily paws, he rushed in front of Sun Shaozong, and kept screaming, "Fireworks, fireworks, Daddy, let go of fireworks."

Sun Shaozong dodged behind Ruan Rong, took the wet towel that Pomegranate handed over, wiped it on his hands and mouth, and made a grimace at his son. He laughed and walked out.

"You provoke him again! It's so good, you have to keep it all day long!"

Ruan Rong chased behind and complained a few words. Seeing that burly figure gradually disappeared into the rain, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But he said that Sun Shaozong left his own small courtyard and was blown by the cold wind on the long corridor. He couldn't stop sneezing twice, and said that it was only the end of September. Why was it so cold?

Some regret that I didn't listen to Ruan Rong just now, but the thread-worn cloak came out again, but they didn't bother to leave the house again.

So refreshed, he rushed to the stables, called the handlebars to set the car, and went straight to the Prince's House.

No words all the way.

When it arrived at the Prince's Mansion, the rain had turned into ice ball, like a knife cut on his face.

Relying on Sun Shaozong's thick skin, he got out of the car without realizing it, and gave his name and official position in front of the door.

I heard that the newly appointed Dali Temple Shaoqing Master Sun has arrived. How can the two guards dare to neglect?

He was busy letting him into the mansion, and then he split up to find the managerial talk.

Sun Shaozong was in the living room of the front yard. After waiting for a cup of tea, he saw a short fat man rolling in like a ball, but it was Wang Dexiu, the master of the Zhanshi Palace.

Not right~

Looking at his official robe, he had obviously risen to the sixth rank.

So Sun Shaozong teased, "Should I call you Master Fu Cheng now?"

"My lord, don't make fun of the humble job."

After two years of seeing him, Wang Dexiu still smiled, wiping the rainwater on his forehead: "His Royal Highness heard that you are here, so the humble post hastened to invite you in and talk - and blamed the humble post for letting a dog go before he told him. The minions stopped you from driving."

The prince turned his face in a blink of an eye, and Sun Shaozong hadn't seen it before, so he didn't even think about this closeness.

Of course, he still pretended to be grateful and said some ‘from the bottom’ nonsense.

He got up and followed Wang Dexiu to the backyard. After turning around Zhuge Qihu, he saw a tree of red maple leaves hunting in the wind and rain.

Remembering that I was here two years ago, offering the prince’s policy of ‘doing filial piety, nurturing the power’, and admiring the spring light in front of the prince’s chest, Sun Shaozong couldn’t help feeling full of emotions.

In other words...

After returning to Beijing, I only heard that the Prince's Mansion had added a son, but I didn't hear what happened to the ‘Li’.

Of course, no matter how curious he was in his heart, Sun Shaozong would not be so stupid to inquire about it-even if this matter, he was the one who handled it in the first place.

Book return

Sun Shaozong originally thought that he would have to enter the flower hall to see the prince. Who knows that as soon as he arrived nearby, he could hear the drums and music in the yard.

He couldn't help frowning, wondering about the scale of the piano ensemble. There were at least seven or eight people, but there seemed to be only a small pavilion in the yard. How could it accommodate so many people and many instruments?

Therefore, before entering, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

When I crossed the threshold, I saw that there were more than ten musicians playing hard in the wind and snow. Among them was a group of naked young women dancing to the music.

Gee~

Although the crown prince and the king of Zhongshun are in the same situation, they are really in the same line!

I don't know whether it was the cold hands and feet, or the sudden visit of the two, which caused the dancers to be a little distracted. One of the dancers hit the ground and fell on the bluestone slab.

Slap~

Before she could get up, an apple hit her chest.

When the apple bomb fell on the ground, I heard someone in the pavilion shout loudly: "You can't open your eyes! Your majesty is so easy to have Yaxing. See how you guys are showing off here, but how can you dare to show your eyes to your majesty? medicine?"

This sharp, high-pitched voice, one knew it was a young eunuch.

The dancer groaned when she was smashed, but she didn't even dare to comfort the pain in her chest, got up with her hands and feet, and tried her best to keep up with the dance steps of other companions.

Although the rhythm quickly followed, her weak cicada-wing skirt was stained with light yellow muddy water, and it was firmly attached to her hips and legs, like a pair of flesh-colored silk stockings, which looked particularly eye-catching.

Taking the'compassion' gaze away from the dancing girl's hips and legs, Sun Shaozong rushed to the pavilion in a stride, waiting to bend and salute, but the prince waved his hands long ago: "Aiqing, come in and talk, why do you need to be between you and me? What a gift!"

Hearing what he said, Sun Shaozong was not polite, and walked into the pavilion without saying a word.

But seeing the railings on all sides of the small pavilion near, four pots of charcoal fires were rising, and three other young eunuchs with beautiful eyes were crowded around the prince, serving tea, pouring water, and squeezing legs and feet.

Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in, the three eunuchs greeted each other with smiles, and even the prince got up from the stone table.

Faced with the manners of such a courteous corporal, Sun Shaozong preemptively said with a stern face: "The minister has a few words from the bottom of his heart, and wants to report to His Highness Ming in private!"

With the wind and rain, drums and music rang together, if you don't roar loudly, the musicians and dancers outside will definitely not hear what is being said in the pavilion.

Therefore, it was almost clear that he was going to expel the three little eunuchs—so the smiles on the faces of the three were a little stiff.

At the same time, the prince's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand like a fly, and shouted: "Retreat, let alone retreat!"

Although the three little eunuchs were a little dissatisfied, they could only follow their orders and shouted the musicians and dancing girls outside, and moved away from the pavilion.

"Ai Qing!"

When all around was quiet, the prince immediately stepped forward and grabbed Sun Shaozong's wrist, and asked with scorching eyes: "I wonder if you have any clever strategy to offer to the lonely today?!"

Sun Shaozong's arm got goosebumps with those cool, greasy fingers.

"We can't talk about a great strategy."

He resisted the discomfort in his heart, and said with a serious face: "The minister just hopes that His Royal Highness can know the awesome truth of what people say."

"Awesome?"

The prince frowned and suddenly became vigilant: "Is it possible that after Aiqing returned to Beijing, what rumors have been heard that are not conducive to loneliness?"

"exactly."

Sun Shaozong nodded: "Someone once mentioned to the minister the saying that'things are gathered together and people are divided into groups'~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is said that although your Royal Highness has been cheering up these days, it is a pity that there is a group of young and frivolous eunuchs around him. , I'm afraid I will be fooled by the villain..."

"Bold!"

When the prince heard the saying that “things gather by kind and people are divided by groups,” he felt a little inexplicable. When Sun Shaozong mentioned the eunuchs, he suddenly realized that he was like those eunuchs, who had no roots and few seeds. Good stuff!

He couldn't help but screamed immediately, gritted his teeth and questioned: "This...Which rebel actually said this?!"

"His Royal Highness, if you are willing to talk about this in front of your ministers, how can you be a rebel?" Sun Shaozong spread his hands together and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that someone with ulterior motives will spread these words widely. Then, your Highness will cheer up It's going to be a waste of money!"

"Then you mean..."

"Your Highness!"

Sun Shaozong stepped back and said with a serious face: "His ambition was not originally in the back house woman, so why rely on these feminine eunuchs? Not to mention that it is just after the autumn season, when the Chinese wind in Beijing is flourishing, why not much? Be close to scholars and talents?"

"If you can have one or two beams at your side, the eight characters of'things are gathered by kind and people are divided by groups', for His Royal Highness, it is a commendatory rather than a derogatory one!"
