Chapter 134 Seeing the old clothes but being annoyed by the 'newcomer'
Zijin Street.
It was originally named after a Zijin Temple on this street. However, because the name is pleasing, quite a few wealthy businessmen have settled here recently, and the word "Zijin" has taken on another meaning.
More than ten years ago, the Xue family bought a courtyard with four entrances here to use as a place to stay when they came to Beijing.
However, in recent years, because Xue Pan's father died young, Aunt Xue always liked to live with her sister and brother in the hope of having someone to take care of them on a daily basis, so the house has been vacant for a long time.
So before the Xue family moved in, they carried out a major renovation.
I heard that Xue Pan was in charge of it. Considering his taste...
At noon , when Sun Shaozong arrived, he could see the gold-plated door nails of the Xue Mansion from a distance, shining brightly in the sun.
When he got closer, he saw Xue Pan standing on the steps in a bright red suit. There were two chrysanthemums, one gold and one silver, pinned on his big head. The petals fluttered in the wind as he looked around, which was so sexy.
“Second brother!”
Before the carriage came to a complete stop, Xue Pan came up to them excitedly and said with a grin, "You are finally here!"
As he said this, he reached out to help Sun Shaozong get out of the car.
Sun Shaozong took a step and jumped more than half a foot away, naturally avoiding his support. He looked up at the glittering gate and said speechlessly: "Aren't you afraid of calling the thieves?"
"dare!"
Xue Pan glared at him and said, "If there is such a fool, I will kick his balls to pieces without your servants having to do anything!"
As he said that, he proudly stepped inside and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see something new!"
Sun Shaozong followed him up the stairs and saw the gate, but no one opened it.
whoosh~!
Just as he was hesitating whether to reach out and push the doors open, he heard Xue Pan whistle loudly, and the two doors creaked open slowly, revealing two... two elephants? !
To be precise, these are two baby elephants more than one meter tall. Their fur is washed clean and they wear gold and jade crowns on their heads. They look very playful and cute.
“Ah~!”
After the gate was slowly opened, the two baby elephants curled up their trunks and cried out happily.
"How is it? It looks good, right?"
Xue Pan said proudly: "Last time I accompanied Old Feng to the Censorate, after seeing the 'Divine Elephant of Cleansing Wrongs', I asked someone to buy two from Yunnan and Guizhou - it's a pity that they are not white elephants, after all, they are a little less interesting."
They brought two elephants from afar just to serve as doormen...
This guy is really a rare gem among spendthrifts!
After teasing the two baby elephants, the two of them walked in side by side.
This was Sun Shaozong's first time here, so naturally he could only follow Xue Pan all the way.
But as he walked, he felt something was wrong. The layout and decoration of these two places did not look like a place for entertaining guests at all. Instead, they looked more like the hostess's residence.
He couldn't help but slow down his pace and asked hesitantly: "Where are we going?"
"oh."
Xue Pan then remembered that he had not explained it yet, and hurriedly said, "My mother heard that my second brother was coming to visit, so she asked me to invite you to meet him."
Go to see Xue Pan's mother?
This widow, who was called 'Aunt Xue' by the Rongguo Mansion, gave birth to Xue Pan at the age of sixteen. She is only . Coupled with her husband's early death, she is at an awkward age.
Logically speaking, she wouldn't easily meet a man outside her family.
Now that he was asking Xue Pan to take him there, it seemed like they were close friends.
only……
My relationship with Xue Pan shouldn't have reached that point yet, right?
Sun Shaozong wanted to refuse, but Xue Pan smiled and called out to the front, "Tongxi, go inside and tell mother that the second brother of the Sun family has arrived!"
Yes~
It's too late to refuse now.
Sun Shaozong had no choice but to put on a smile and follow Xue Pan without looking away through the courtyard to the main hall.
In front of the soft couch on the left, several maids were surrounding a woman like stars surrounding the moon. There were also a few strings of pearl curtains hanging sparsely in front of her , which did not make people feel alienated, but also pointed out the difference between inside and outside.
Needless to say, this woman was naturally Aunt Xue.
But she was seen wearing a pleated long skirt, her hair full of pearls, jade and gold hairpins, standing gracefully behind the pearl curtain. She looked like a lady of noble demeanor, but her white hands twisting a handkerchief revealed her inner nervousness and uneasiness.
"Mother."
As soon as he entered the room, Xue Pan introduced him proudly: "This is the Sun Shaozong, the second brother I often mentioned to you!"
Sun Shaozong also hurriedly bowed deeply and said respectfully: "Sun Shaozong greets aunt."
"Please get up quickly."
Aunt Xue seldom dealt with outsiders. Seeing that Sun Shaozong was a head taller and twice as strong as her own son, even when she bowed to him, she felt a sense of oppression that was not felt by others , and she became more and more flustered.
Fortunately, she had memorized her lines for half a day in advance, so she didn't get stunned on the spot.
She said with a little hesitation: "My Wenlong [Xue Pan, courtesy name Wenlong] is a good-for-nothing. He usually only associates with bad friends, but I didn't expect to make friends with a young talent like Lord Sun. I hope you can take care of him more and don't let him get into trouble again."
There was originally more to say, but when Aunt Xue got to this point, she suddenly realized that Sun Shaozong was hunching his body, and his eagle-like eyes were staring straight at her towering chest!
Aunt Xue was really shocked and annoyed. She didn't like to see outsiders in the first place, but she was worried about her son, so she wanted to tell him a few things in person. Who would have thought that Sun Erlang, who had such a great reputation, turned out to be such a rude and lustful person!
If she wasn't afraid of causing a fuss and embarrassing both families, she would have wanted to just turn around and walk away!
but……
But she was wrong about Sun Shaozong.
No matter how lustful he was, Sun Shaozong would not peep at Xue Pan's mother in public.
The reason why he lost his composure like this was actually because the clothes Aunt Xue was wearing at this moment were the very ones he had stolen from Yiran Pavilion to cover Ping'er's shame!
This is such a coincidence!
Sun Shaozong sighed in his heart, but suddenly found that the handkerchief in Aunt Xue's hand had been twisted into a knot. Her well-maintained face now looked a little annoyed...
Oops!
Only then did Mr. Sun Shao realize that something was wrong and quickly turned his eyes away from the clothes. He wanted to explain a little, but how could he dare to talk about this matter of stealing the beauty?
Just as they were in a dilemma, Xue Pan said impatiently, "Mother, if you have nothing else to tell me, my second brother and I will go to the front to drink and appreciate the chrysanthemums."
Aunt Xue took a deep breath and said coldly, "Go!"
Tsk~
This was indeed a misunderstanding!
Sun Shaozong secretly groaned, but he had no choice but to bow and follow Xue Pan out of the living room.
