Chapter 161 Life Mentor
After hearing what Sun Shaozong said, Wang Xifeng was stunned at first, and then her triangular eyes were filled with vigilance.
With one hand covering her collar and the other covering her mouth, she giggled and said, "Erlang, what you said really confused me. When has my sister-in-law ever plotted against you?"
As the saying goes, like servant, like master. This guy is obviously a suspicious person!
"Of course it's a good intention."
Sun Shaozong shrugged and said, "But it's only natural that my sister-in-law won't trust me if I say this rashly. So why not..."
His eyes wandered over Wang Xifeng's slightly haggard but more charming face, and then he continued, "Why don't I make some efforts to help my sister-in-law regain the rights of the housekeeper, and then we can talk about the matter of the gold and silver mountains, how about that?"
Wang Xifeng's expression changed several times when she heard this, but she still chuckled and said, "I don't understand what Erlang said even more."
She is now infamous in the Rongguo Mansion. Not to mention others, even her own aunt Wang blames her a lot because of her son Jia Baoyu's suicide by fasting.
Under such circumstances, how could Sun Shaozong, an outsider, help her regain power?
Therefore, she didn't believe what Sun Shaozong said at all!
"Second brother, Second Brother Sun?!"
Just at this moment, Jia Baoyu's voice came again, and Wang Xifeng took the opportunity to nod and said, "Brother Bao is looking for you, I won't delay Erlang's visit to the garden."
As he spoke, he swayed his waist and walked around Sun Shaozong, then hurried towards the front yard.
"sister in law!"
Sun Shaozong called out from behind with a slightly raised voice, and when Wang Xifeng looked back in surprise, he smiled and said, "First, let's see if I can help you, and then we can discuss other things, okay?"
There was a hint of suspicion in Wang Xifeng's eyes, but in the end she quickened her pace without saying a word.
Speaking of which...
As he watched the peach-like buttocks swaying away as if defying gravity, Sun Shaozong became more and more unable to understand Jia Lian.
Could the anuses of a few servants compare to this beauty?
The world of gays is indeed not something that ordinary people can understand!
Ahem~
Back to the point, Sun Shaozong had just made the matter clear and expressed that he could help Wang Xifeng regain the position of housekeeper. He was not just talking nonsense .
He openly wanted to help Wang Xifeng, but secretly he was doing it for Ping'er.
After all, once Wang Xifeng became completely destitute, Ping'er, her right-hand man, would naturally not be in a much better situation.
Not to mention his own woman, he has to take care of her no matter what. From a practical point of view, he should not let Ping'er, this thorn in his side, become an insignificant chess piece.
Although……
Sun Shaozong couldn't figure out what the use of this spy was after dealing with Lai Da.
But whether to use it or not is one thing, and having it or not is another thing - it never goes wrong to be prepared!
Furthermore, when he lent a helping hand to Wang Xifeng, he really wanted to use the Wang family's connections to do some profitable business so that he wouldn't always spend his eldest brother's money.
Although Sun Shaozu always only asked whether it was enough and never cared what he did with the money.
But Sun Shaozong is about to become a father after all. He can't just laugh at others for being playboys while he himself keeps doing the things of a prodigal, right?
“Second brother!”
Sun Shaozong was just savoring that butt... uh, thinking about his grand blueprint for the future, when he heard Jia Baoyu's complaint from behind him: "You really made it hard for me to find you!"
Sun Shaozong turned around and smiled, saying, "Why, have you already coaxed that little nun into falling in love with you?"
"Don't make fun of me, brother."
When Jia Baoyu came closer, he could not help but persuade her again: "It's just a misunderstanding. Second brother, there is no need to be with Sister Miaoyu..."
"Let's not talk about her. Anyway, we may not have the chance to meet again in the future."
Sun Shaozong interrupted him and said seriously, "I have almost seen this garden. Isn't it time to tell me the real reason why you asked me to come here? You can't just want me to take a walk around your garden, right?"
Jia Baoyu showed some helplessness on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the discerning eyes of my second brother."
As he spoke, he saw several stone blocks and a stone table nearby. He walked forward and brushed two of the stone blocks with his sleeves, then called Sun Shaozong to sit across from him.
After sitting down, Jia Baoyu sighed again until Sun Shaozong became impatient and started to urge him.
He then said, "Second brother, I am in a mess right now and I really don't know what to do, so I can only ask you for advice."
Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes speechlessly. He actually thought that Jia Baoyu wanted to tell him in private the secret that Lai Da had kept.
Who knew this guy actually regarded himself as a life mentor!
Forget it, let’s just make the best of it.
"After this incident, have the elders in your family looked at you differently and have higher expectations of you?"
"That's right."
Jia Baoyu said distressedly: "Although my father was quite strict before, he didn't really supervise me very often. Now he just wants me to study hard in seclusion so that I can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi in the future."
"My mother knows that I don't like studying, so she plans to take advantage of this opportunity for me to establish my authority in the mansion and take control of the major and minor affairs of the mansion, so that she can legitimately inherit the foundation of the Rongguo Mansion in the future."
Sun Shaozong interrupted: "What do you think?"
"I?"
Jia Baoyu became more and more depressed and said, "I don't know what I am thinking. On the one hand, I want to cheer up. If not to be worthy of my ancestors, at least I will not let Grandpa Jiao down."
"But deep down, I'm really tired of these mundane things, and I'm even more afraid that I won't be able to do it well..."
"What are you afraid of!"
Sun Shaozong said disdainfully: "Let's not talk about passing the imperial examination. Being a housekeeper is just a job. Can it be harder than killing Lai Da with Old Man Jiao? He is an octogenarian, but he can kill decisively. How can you, a young man, be so cautious?!"
These words were naturally meant to arouse Baoyu's competitive spirit.
Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course I can't compare to Grandpa Jiao."
Speechless...
Should we say that this boy has no ambition, or that he has self-awareness ?
It seemed hopeless to let him make his own judgement.
But it’s a good thing this way, it’s a good opportunity to fulfill my promise just now!
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong reluctantly analyzed: "If you really want to be a rich and idle person, then there is no need for me to say more."
"But if you want to take charge of the affairs of the mansion, you will inevitably offend Second Brother Lian and his wife - are you sure you want to turn against Second Brother Lian and his wife?"
"Of course not!"
Jia Baoyu said without hesitation, and then he muttered a little depressedly: "In fact, Brother Lian and Sister Feng are avoiding me now. I saw them in the pavilion just now, but I called them a few times and they disappeared."
"hehe."
Sun Shaozong smiled slightly: "If I were you, I would go to your family's ancestors and plead for Sister Lian Er, giving her a chance to correct her mistakes!"
"This will ease the rift between you two, and it will also help stabilize the people in your mansion. In recent times, the servants in your mansion have probably been in a state of panic, right?"
Seeing Jia Baoyu nod, Sun Shaozong smiled and said, "As for studying hard, who can guarantee that they will pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi? It's just a matter of 'doing your best'."
"And if you really hate the imperial examination, the worst that can happen is that you ask your brother-in-law, the emperor, for mercy and to give you an official position. Then you can live a carefree life!"
