The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion - Chapter 363

[Chapter 362 The Unexpected Sympathizer]

When they came out of Uncle Wei’s house in the evening, they were only a few steps away from Sun’s residence. The two brothers were too lazy to ride horses, so they handed over their respective mounts to the servants to lead them, and they walked and chatted while walking.

The content of the theme is, of course, the ‘timber business’ that will be officially launched soon.

Through Jia Yingchun as the middle man, after the two sides negotiated back and forth several times, the general charter was finally concluded.

The cost of 100,000 taels of silver was raised by the Sun family, and the profits earned would be divided between the two families.

There’s no way, this kind of ‘official’ business, the background relationship is the most valuable, that is, Wang Xifeng is a daughter, it is not convenient to show her face, and the money has been a little tight recently, otherwise this business may not necessarily fall. In the hands of the Sun family.

As for the candidates to be sent to the south, it has been roughly drawn up. The Sun family is naturally led by Cheng Rixing, supplemented by Liu An, the concierge of the Sun family, and Sun Xi, a descendant from Jinling; Wang Xifeng will accompany the house. Little servant Laiwang, and two other confidants came in.

In addition, considering that this transaction will last for two or three years, and the amount involved will become larger and larger through profit and profit later, it is inevitable that some people will be blinded by money.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Sun Shaozong planned to deposit the principal in the hand of the Jinling long house—the left and right were in Jiangnan, and it was not too late to go to Jinling to spend the money after negotiating the business.

“correct.”

After talking about the above details, Sun Shaozong added: “I’m going to borrow a few good carpenters from Feng Xin. After all, it’s a wood business, and there must be a few who know how to follow.”

This business has been led by Sun Shaozong from the very beginning. Apart from being responsible for raising capital, the cheap eldest brother seldom asked anything about the business. At this time, he was more than happy to let him go.

And he was obviously more concerned about other things than this.

For example…

“Erlang, did you mention me in the new play arranged by Jiang Yuhan?”

“this……”

Sun Shaozong thought for a while, then shook his head and said, “The scenes he rehearsed seem to be in the government office and the scene of the murder, and there is no chance for our government to show his face.”

The entire Sun Mansion did not show his face, so the cheap big brother naturally had no chance to appear.

“It’s a pity, a pity! It’s really a pity!”

Sun Shaozu sighed again, and beat his chest again: “I originally thought it was just acting in the palace, how could I want to set up a stage in the prison temple – this is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself, I was stunned. I missed it for nothing!”

Seeing his beard blowing and staring at him, Sun Shaozong couldn’t help but smile, and quickly comforted him, saying that Jiang Yuhan would also plan to increase or decrease this “Sun Gong Case” based on the performance response in the future, and I would ask him to add some more scenes at that time. That’s it.

While speaking, the two brothers had already arrived at the mansion.

After saying goodbye to the cheap eldest brother, Sun Shaozong rushed to the backyard non-stop. As soon as he crossed the moon gate, he heard someone reciting poetry in the gazebo in the northwest corner.

Looking at the sound, it turned out that Ruan Rong and Xiang Ling thought the room was too hot, so they carried their sons to cool off in the small pavilion in the northwest corner.

“Why don’t you add two basins of ice to the house?”

Sun Shaozong strode over and said curiously, “Did I not have someone prepare more for me last winter? Did it run out so quickly?”

“It’s not a good thing to always use a freezer to relieve the heat.”

Ruan Rong got up from the reclining chair, pointed at her son in the cradle and said, “We adults have nothing to do with it, Yi’er has a red bump on her back. I heard what the doctor said about eczema, I’m afraid it’s just using the ice basin to make trouble. have to.”

The ice basin is still not as good as the air conditioner.

Sun Shaozong honestly occupied the reclining chair, took Ruan Rong into his lap, and passed the fan from the nurse, while chasing flies and mosquitoes for his son, he smiled: “Actually, it’s not bad to enjoy the cool outside. Let’s get a finer curtain, and we’ll just spend the night outside.”

Xiang Ling on the side heard this, with a look of longing on her face. Seeing her splendid eyes blinking, she probably thought of some poetry again.

But Ruan Rong immediately shook her head and said, “Farewell. In the second half of the night, it was cold and dewy. Look at this small, pregnant woman. What if you catch the cold?”

When Xiangling heard this, she touched her bulging belly and nodded her head like a worm.

“correct.”

Sun Shaozong suddenly remembered something, so he took out the square handkerchief from his sleeve, stuffed it into Ruan Rong’s hand, and said, “I received a letter today, look at what is written on it?”

Sun Shaozong had settled the case all day long, but it was the first time he brought back the ‘shape paper’ for himself to see.

Therefore, Ruan Rong hurriedly called out the pomegranate lantern and looked at it word by word.

At first, it was nothing special, but he was crying that he was being persecuted by powerful relatives and almost turned into a plaything, so he hoped that Sun Shaozong would come to the rescue.

But when I wrote this, the conversation suddenly changed, and I talked about how after seeing Sun Shaozong that day, I was overwhelmed by his heroic spirit. After a long time in my heart, it turned into a ray of love, which I couldn’t get rid of, and kept cutting off. , It’s hard to tell.

Later, it was implicitly stated that if Sun Shaozong was willing to rescue him, he would be willing to do so without asking for a name.

After Ruan Rong read it, she couldn’t help but wonder, “This is the girl from that family, but she’s just complaining, how could she put her body on it?”

“I’m afraid the accusation is false, it’s true when you get on it!”

Sun Shaozong explained the whole story of Third Sister You’s grievances today, and finally said with a smile: “Then Second Sister You heard that she is the most timid, how could she write such a ‘paper’ for nothing?

“In my opinion, even if this letter was not written by Third Sister You, it was the result of her repeated pressing.”

“The purpose, of course, is to hope that I can get this ‘cheap for nothing’, and it is better to put some strength in front of Brother Liu and bring the two together to achieve a positive result.”

She thought that Ruan Rong would definitely hate that Third Sister You for messing with her after hearing these words.

Who knew that she was silent for a while, but sighed faintly: “If you men look at some beautiful woman, and try your best to make a lot of tricks, it will only be a romantic story; if we women look at some man, if a little bit If you are more active, is it that heaven and earth are not allowed?”

After a pause, she asked again: “Don’t she think of another way out for her sister, but let her fall into the hands of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong and her son, is she abide by her duty?”

As a woman who dared to elope, Ruan Rong’s perception of Third Sister You was obviously quite different from what Sun Shaozong expected.

Sun Shaozong smacked his lips and said hesitantly, “Then according to your opinion, should I really say something nice for her in front of Brother Liu Xian?”

“I didn’t say that.”

Ruan Rong leaned her body into Sun Shaozong’s arms, and said softly, “However, Young Master Liu usually sleeps in flowers and sleeps in Liu, I’m afraid that he is out of order, right? Besides, Young Master Liu once swore that he would not marry a woman who was not a beautiful woman. Listening to the master’s description, If that Third Sister You really does not lose out, she would be a good match for him.”

Isn’t this what it means to let yourself speak favorably for Third Sister You?

Sun Shaozong was speechless for a while, but he couldn’t help but probe: “Then Second Sister You…”

Ruan Rong said nonchalantly, “If my master likes it, I’ll take it home and go home, and I won’t be able to handle the errands that will be sour and jealous in the future.”

Since giving birth to her son, she seems to be more and more ‘generous’.

As she spoke, she suddenly made another ‘huh’, raised her head and said suspiciously, “Didn’t the master say that he only met that second sister You in a hurry? He didn’t even say the first half of a sentence, but how could he treat her? Your temperament is so familiar?”

“this……”
