Chapter 171: For the sake of offspring, Zhongshan Wolf intends to remarry
When the entire He family was executed, Sun Shaozong thought that Emperor Guangde was taking the opportunity to make money.
It was not until he experienced the chaos at the birthday banquet that he finally realized that even though Prince Yizhong had been imprisoned, he actually had a lot of cards in his hands!
Not to mention the Northern Pacification Office, there must be many of his remnants in the Imperial Palace!
Having such a mortal enemy right next to his bed, and being protected by the retired emperor, he could not kill him and put an end to it all. Just thinking about it was really depressing for Emperor Guangde.
However, after the Wanshou Festival, Sun Shaozong thought that there would be another bloody storm in response to the rescue operation that night, but after waiting for a few days, the court was calm.
Not only that, Emperor Guangde also issued many decrees to grant additional favors and rewards, making the whole city full of joy.
The most eye-catching one is, of course, the imperial decree allowing the thirteen concubines in the palace to return home to visit their families on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year.
As for the less noticeable intentions, there are many of them.
For example, the news that Sun Shaozong was promoted to the rank of Captain of the Northern Pacification Division [after his birthday, the military position had been restructured] attracted little attention except for Sun's relatives and friends.
Of course, even if he noticed it, he might not care. After who doesn't know that the position of Shuntian Prefecture is already in his pocket?
In comparison, a title of a thousand households without real power is really nothing.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong had no intention of celebrating in a big way.
A few days passed peacefully like this. One evening, after Sun Shaozong returned home from office, he lay in a 69 position on the couch in the main hall and chatted with Ruan Rong as usual, and massaged her swollen legs.
As they chatted, Sun Shaozong noticed that Ruan Rong seemed to be hesitant to speak. After a brief thought, he reluctantly promised, "If you have to go to the temple to feel at ease, then I will accompany you to worship next time I have a day off."
"That's what the master said himself."
Ruan Rong smiled with her hands covering her mouth, but waved at the maids serving on both sides and said, "Go back to your rooms and rest for a while. I'll call you if there's anything else."
Shi Liu agreed and left with a few maids.
Sun Shaozong was really curious now. He sat up straight and asked, "Why, is this not what you want to tell me?"
If they were just talking about going to the temple to pray for a child, there would be no need to send the maids away.
"That's not what I want to say."
Ruan Rong shook her head slightly and said seriously, "Master, have you noticed that Master seems to be unhappy recently?"
Cheap big brother is depressed?
Sun Shaozong really didn't realize that when he was welcoming the three younger generations a few days ago, he seemed very happy and said that the mansion was much more lively now.
"What did those aunts who came to visit tell you?"
If we talk about the channels through which Ruan Rong and her eldest brother interact, it is naturally the concubines who come to visit her every morning and evening.
Ruan Rong shook her head and said, "They didn't say anything, but they were all injured. When I asked them a few questions, they just cried."
Although the cheap big brother usually likes to do some heavy things, it is quite rare to see him get so exaggeratedly injured.
Plus crying...
Sun Shaozong immediately leaned on the armrest and got off the couch. While putting on his shoes, he said, "I'm going to visit my eldest brother. I won't be back for dinner tonight. Let Xiangling and her mother stay with you."
Ruan Rong naturally had no objection, she just leaned over and said, "Don't say it was me who saw it, otherwise those people will probably get beaten up again."
"I understand."
Sun Shaozong responded and walked out of the room.
The two brothers lived not far from each other. He hurried to the main courtyard in the north and happened to see a few maids serving dishes. He asked them to add a set of bowls and chopsticks and asked, "Where is the eldest brother? Is he in the inner room or..."
"Where is Aunt Ni in the East Wing? We will invite her to you right away."
Not long after the maids went out, they saw Sun Shaozu coming in from outside with his clothes in disarray. He only covered his upper body with his clothes twisted in a crooked way, and he didn't even have his belt tied underneath.
Seeing Sun Shaozong looking at him, he pulled his pants up carelessly and said nonchalantly: "That bitch has been getting worse and worse recently. She can't even serve me well. I got angry and hit her with my belt a few times, but it broke!"
Sun Shaozong was speechless after hearing this. He took the wine pot and wine cup from the maid and motioned them to leave. He then poured wine and said, "Brother, have you encountered any troubles recently? You might as well tell us so that we can discuss it together."
The cheap brother stepped forward, picked up the wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and placed it in front of Sun Shaozong, motioning him to fill it up again.
Then he cursed, "Those old guys in the south have so many children. Their sons have passed the imperial examinations, their sons-in-law have passed the imperial examinations, and their grandchildren are almost grown up. But my family is a bunch of losers. Not to mention sons, I can't even give birth to a girl !"
Love is still about offspring!
It was probably because he met the Sun Chengye brothers and Yu Qian a few days ago that he was reminded of his own loneliness as a childless person.
only……
Sun Shaozong really didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only use the excuse of "the Spring and Autumn Period is in its heyday" to get by.
"What a bullshit Spring and Autumn is in full bloom!"
Unexpectedly, this time the cheap elder brother got angry, and with a slap, the cups and plates were in a mess. He said angrily: "Old man Wei's second wife was diagnosed with pregnancy at noon the other day. This matter has nothing to do with age at all!"
I'll go~
Butler Wei is already 62 years old, but I didn’t expect that he is still so strong and healthy!
Sun Shaozong didn't know what to say for a moment, but his eldest brother kept complaining: "Brother, don't I just want a son? Why is it so difficult?!"
"Over the years, I have brought home five widows who have given birth to sons! One of them even gave birth to twins!"
"In order to prevent our house from having bad feng shui, I bought four more houses, all in the east, south, west and north!"
"Zhang Daoist priest in Qingxu Temple, Yuanzhen Zen Master in Zijin Temple, as well as that Taoist Ma and Liu Shenhan...Which immortal has I not visited to seek help?"
"But damn, until now, it's still all in vain!"
Alas~
I have to say that Brother Bian really put a lot of effort into this matter.
Judging from this, he probably has some congenital defect. If it were in the future, maybe there would be a way to deal with it, but now...
Sun Shaozong had no choice but to say, "Brother, didn't we agree on this? If it really doesn't work, I will adopt a child..."
“No way!”
Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozu shook his head decisively and said, "Ever since that bastard named Wei took the lead, people have often used this matter to tease me. I must not let this reputation of being a family extinction become a reality and let them get what they want!"
At this point, he grabbed Sun Shaozong's shoulders and said with a burning gaze, "I've been thinking about this for the past few days. Since you look down on those mediocre women, I will go find a daughter from a wealthy family and marry her as a second wife. Then we can switch the dragon for the phoenix and use someone else as a substitute..."
Sun Shaozong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, please don't..."
"Don't worry, I promise I won't touch her at all!"
"That's not what I meant..."
"What this, what that? It's settled. Wait for me to ask around and find a woman who is taciturn and timid. She won't let any news leak out!"
