The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion - Chapter 344

[Chapter 344]

The first of May.

The sky was getting bright, and the front yard of the Sun Mansion was noisy.

Jia Yingchun didn’t need to say, Ruan Rong heard that she was going to Qingxu Temple to have a ceremonial ceremony, and she was also clamoring to join in the fun. In addition to the maid and the old lady beside the two, they were full of five carriages.

In addition, there were a few little actors in the troupe, who somehow got through Sun Shaozu’s path, and also took a place in the team chatteringly.

So when we went out, a full seven carriages lined up in a row. Sun Shaozong rode a tall horse to lead the way, and Zhao Zhongji led a few healthy servants in the back. .

The Qingxu Temple is in the inner city, and there is not much distance.

About half an hour later, the Sun family’s team arrived at the Qingxu Temple, and saw the open space in front of the mountain gate, which had been surrounded by colorful coarse cloth, and a dozen high-sounding middle-aged Taoists were arranging at the only entrance. Dressing up, waiting for the big driver.

Sun Shaozong raised his horse whip, and a servant next to him stepped forward to reveal his identity. It was heard that the second young lady from Rongguo Mansion had just married. The Taoists immediately dispersed, and another special guest stepped forward and led the convoy to the place. in.

At this time, the people from the Rongning Second House had not arrived yet, and there were only a few servants who were standing in the front, checking the gaps inside and out.

This was already expected by everyone in the Sun Mansion – if Jia Yingchun arrived late, he would have lost the etiquette of being a junior.

It is precisely because Jia’s mother has not arrived, and the Qingxu Temple has not been cleared, so after the seven cars parked in the corner, all the female relatives are obediently waiting in the car, and only a few older women got out of the car. , together with the male servants, discussing the Taoist priests of Qingxuguan.

Sun Shaozong dismounted from the horse and took out a pocket watch with a carved Nian beast from his sleeve. Looking at the time, it was just past eight o’clock in the morning. He estimated that the motorcade from the Second Rongning House would take some time to arrive.

He asked Zhao Zhongji to set up Maza, and took the Di Bao that was published yesterday evening to study.

To be honest, the content of this issue of Di Bao was somewhat unexpected by Sun Shaozong—the ‘Shenxian San Project’, which was supervised by Emperor Guangde himself, only took up tofu cubes in the second edition; The “Heart Stealing Case” appeared in the fourth position on the front page.

However, compared to the complicated and confusing case, the content of the Di Bao obviously focused on criticizing the slavery of wealthy people, which indirectly condoned the ravages of human traffickers.

Could it be…

Did Emperor Guangde intend to curb the trend of slavery?

This is nothing new. There are many kings in history who have issued similar decrees.

However, this kind of thing has always been a matter of policy and countermeasures. In terms of today’s customs and human conditions, at most, it is to reduce the number of young slaves and slaves. It is impossible to completely ban it.

“Second Master.”

He was working overtime to figure out the holy meaning, and suddenly heard Zhao Zhongji remind in a low voice: “A few Taoist priests have come here.”

Sun Shaozong raised his head and glanced at it, and saw an old Taoist with white beard and hair, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, who was rushing forward, but the two middle-aged Taoist priests behind him could not catch up.

This old Tao is naturally a Taoist who advocates the concept of Qingxu.

Because he came out of the house in place of Jia Daishan, the former head of the Rongguo Mansion, he is very close to the Rongguo Mansion. When Jia Baoyu was insane with poisoning, Zhang Laodao also participated in the treatment, so he also knew Sun Shaozong.

In addition to his relationship with the Rongguo Mansion, this old Taoist is also the leader of the capital’s Daoist sect by the imperial court. Since he personally entertained him, Sun Shaozong naturally did not dare to neglect him. He hurriedly asked Zhao Zhongji to take away Maza and Dibao, and greeted him and said: ” The old fairy has always been good?”

“Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate.”

Daoist Zhang also paid a salute and laughed: “Compared to others, I am a good poor Taoist, but compared with Master Sun’s body and bones, it is really not forgiving of age.”

After speaking, the old man smiled and asked: “It’s been more than half a month. When we discussed that matter, I don’t know if Master Sun has considered it?”

“this……”

Sun Shaozong smiled bitterly and said: “Old god, please spare me. You don’t care if you are highly respected. How can I withstand the siege of those great monks when I am in the middle of Shuntianfu?”

The so-called ‘that thing’ is actually when Taoist Zhang found Sun Shaozong specially when he was exorcising and treating Baoyu, expressing that Qingxuguan was willing to adopt the two baby boys that the nun was about to give birth to.

Although the monks avoided this matter, only Miaoyu was willing to take in the baby girl – but if this child was handed over to the Taoist priest, the nature would be very different!

“Hahaha……”

Taoist Zhang laughed heartily and winked, “Just kidding, I think Master Sun has let out the rumor that Laodao wants to adopt children. There are already temples willing to take over those children, right?”

“Old Daoist, I was scolded for a few words, and I was able to protect a few children for half a lifetime without worry. It’s a fortune.”

This is a real insight into the world!

No wonder he made Qingxuguan the leader of the Taoist sect in just over ten years after he took over as Guanzhu!

“The old immortal is really humble.”

Sun Shaozong cupped his hands and gave a sincere compliment, and then chatted with Lao Dao for a while. Drummers suddenly sounded in unison from the bell tower next to him, and then someone came over to report that the Rongguo Mansion’s frame had arrived.

Hearing the words, one old and one young hurriedly went out hand in hand.

When I got outside, I saw several sedan chairs with colorful flowers at the head, and the carriages and horses were chasing one after another, and there were servants who echoed back and forth, and I couldn’t even see the head.

got~

The emperor just revealed his intention to curb the trend of slave ownership in the newspaper of the residence, and the second Rongning residence was showing off his family’s wealth on the street…

“Second Brother Sun!”

“Second brother!”

It was Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan who were leading the way at the front of the team. When they saw Sun Shaozong and Zhang Daoshi coming out from a distance, they hurriedly stepped off their horses and came to greet them.

Seeing that Xue Pan only cared about chatting with himself, but was somewhat ignorant of Taoist Zhang who was beside him, Sun Shaozong hurriedly called him to come forward to greet him.

At this time, another person rushed over in a beaming manner, and also kicked off the horse and came to the front, but it was Jia Zhen, the commander-in-chief of this time.

After seeing each other for a few days, this Ning Guofu uncle seems to be more energetic, and after seeing each other with Sun Shaozong, he can’t help but praise: “My brother really worked well that night, and I never dreamed of Rong again after that. daughter-in-law.”

uh~

Sun Shaozong really didn’t know how to respond to this.

Fortunately, without waiting for him to answer, the leader of the big sedan chair was already at the door. Taoist Zhang exchanged a few words with Jia’s mother through the curtain, and then asked all the people in Guanzhong to retreat, and sent the Rongning two residences. The ladies invited in.

After all, Sun Shaozong was a foreigner, so he just waited at the door, chatting casually with Jia Zhen, Baoyu, and Xue Pan.

Unexpectedly, it didn’t take long to hear the noise inside, and the voices of women screaming and killing were all at once.

Everyone looked at each other in amazement, and rushed into the curtain to check what was going on, but it turned out to be a little Taoist priest who cut lanterns, and somehow he bumped into Wang Xifeng. Kai, but was surrounded by servants and women, beating and scolding.

Zhang Laodao felt a little embarrassed when he saw this.

Fortunately, Mother Jia heard the movement, and hurriedly came forward to drink and stop everyone, which eliminated the storm.
