Chapter 23: Zhongshan Langhun Talks About Wives and Concubines
Sun Shaozong's "arbitrary behavior" in front of the mansion gate naturally attracted many servants and women, but not even one of them dared to stay and watch the fun, let alone talk too much.
This is because Sun Shaozu's way of managing the household is very different from that of the Rongguo Mansion. His methods are even harsher than those in the army. Not to mention ordinary servants and maids, even the concubines in his backyard, if they do something that does not please him, he will beat and scold them at the very least, or sell them to brothels to be prostitutes at the worst.
Therefore, everyone in the mansion was cautious and no one dared to violate Sun Shaozu's taboo.
However, Sun Shaozong took Ruan Rong into the Sun Mansion and found the guest room in the east wing according to his memory. He then ordered people to go to the backyard to find a few maids to help Ruan Rong decorate the room.
Just as they were busy, they heard the door being pushed open with a bang, and a burly man with a full beard rushed in. He glanced around with his eyes like copper bells, and without saying a word, he raised his fist as big as a vinegar jar and punched Ruan Rong in the face.
The force of this punch was as strong as thunder and the wind, with at least several hundred kilograms of force. If Ruan Rong was hit directly, she would probably die on the spot!
Fortunately, Sun Shaozong was not far away. Seeing this, he quickly stepped in front of Ruan Rong and rushed forward with his fist raised.
Touch~
When the two fists collided, it was like a muffled thunder in the ground!
Sun Shaozong just shook his body, and the man with a leopard head and round eyes retreated five or six steps, rubbing his shoulders with a grin, obviously suffering a great loss.
"Good job Erlang, I haven't seen your strength for a year, but it really has improved!"
The man shook his shoulders and praised, then he shouted angrily: "Get out of the way! Let me kill this vixen and put an end to your foolish thoughts!"
“Brother!”
Sun Shaozong blurted out "big brother", but it turned out that the man with a leopard head and round eyes was none other than his adopted brother Sun Shaozu - when he was chatting with the old women just now, they all said that he was on duty at the patrol camp office, but who would have thought that he would come back so soon!
"Since you know I'm your elder brother, get the hell out of the way!"
Sun Shaozu raised his fist and shouted angrily: "Is it so easy to be a civil servant?! Nine people in your department have been transferred, and in just over a year, three of them were cheated and dismissed from their posts. One of them was even sentenced to death for embezzling disaster relief grain!"
At this point, he slowed down his tone a little: "Listen to my brother, kill this vixen and that's it, whoever wants to work in that crap civil service position can go! Isn't it just a beautiful woman? Whatever type of woman you want, my brother will find her for you!"
Sun Shaozong was speechless and hurriedly explained: "Brother, how can this be the same? I..."
"What the hell is so different?!"
Sun Shaozu didn't even give him a chance to interrupt. He glared at her and said, "I think you've never seen a woman before, so you've been bewitched by this vixen! How about this After I kill this vixen, take any of the bitches in my room that you like and bring them home to have some fun with. I'll treat it all as my compensation to you!"
Although Sun Shaozu was also a lustful man, he always regarded women as playthings and never took them to heart, so this saying came about.
He seemed to think this was a good idea, and he recommended it casually: "Those sluts may not be as pretty as this vixen, but they are all good in bed! Chuntao is the best at pouring water on candles, Jinbao is good at oral skills, and that colorful butterfly's back garden..."
Seeing that this guy just spilled all the private things that happened in bed when they had a disagreement, Sun Shaozong was speechless, thinking to himself how could he have such a bad brother? !
But even though I was speechless, I couldn't just let him go on talking nonsense like this.
So Sun Shaozong raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Brother, if you keep talking nonsense like this, I will move out with Rong'er and wait until you come back when you feel more relaxed."
Sun Shaozu was startled when he heard this, and then he jumped up in anger and cursed: "Rebellion, rebellion! I have raised you since you were five years old, and now you want to..."
Without waiting for him to finish, Sun Shaozong pulled Ruan Rong and walked out. Sun Shaozu, who was frightened, rushed over and blocked the door with his big eyes glaring angrily, but he didn't dare to say a word.
However, it is said that Sun Shaozu had four major hobbies in his life: one was greed for power, two was lust, three was addiction to alcohol, and four was brother control.
The first three items were fine, but his younger brother was truly his lifeblood. He would usually hold him in his mouth for fear that he would melt, or hold him in his hand for fear that he would drop. When he sent his younger brother to Qianxiang Country to escape disaster, Sun Shaozu, a man as strong as an iron tower, cried loudly on the dock and almost died.
Now that the brothers have finally been reunited, how could he bear to let his younger brother move out?
And it was from the memory fragments that Sun Shaozong knew of his brother-obsessed nature, and that's why he threatened to run away from home.
Seeing that this move had achieved the desired effect, Sun Shaozong was about to convince his cheap elder brother with both reason and emotion.
Who would have thought that Ruan Rong would suddenly stammer, "Brother Sun, don't let me hurt your brotherly feelings. Actually... Actually, as long as I can be with you, I... I don't really care about status or anything like that."
This was the first time that she revealed in front of Sun Shaozong that she didn't care about her status, which shocked Sun Shaozong.
You have to know that these days the difference between a wife and a concubine is as different as the difference between heaven and earth!
Ruan Rong is, after all, the daughter of a third-rank official - although the official rank in Qianxiang Kingdom is of lower status, there is absolutely no reason for her to take the initiative to become someone else's concubine!
"I didn't expect this girl to be so sensible."
Sun Shaozu was overjoyed and laughed loudly, "What's the point of having a status? A woman's status at home depends on whether the man loves her or not. Take my old wife for example . She annoyed me because of the concubine issue. I never even looked at her until she died!"
Only a reckless person like him could do or say such things!
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"
While Sun Shaozong was scolding her, he turned back to look at Ruan Rong and said sternly, "I brought you home from thousands of miles away, not just for..."
"Master, Master!"
Before he could finish his words, a doorman rushed in and stammered excitedly, "Excuse me, an eunuch came outside and said that he had received an order from His Majesty to come to the palace to see the Emperor immediately!"
Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard this. According to the court rules, a minor official like Sun Shaozong had to report to the competent department [Ministry of War] first even if he was summoned to an audience with the emperor.
After the Ministry of War has approved it, the ceremony must be performed at the Ministry of Rites.
Only those who graduated from the temporary "training class" of the Ministry of Rites could go to the Imperial City to hand in their name cards and wait for the Emperor to pick them and visit them.
Now, I have suddenly received an oral order to exempt myself from all these formalities. Telling it to others is certainly a great favor - but as the old saying goes: When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
There must be a reason why the emperor is so anxious to summon Sun Shaozong, right?
Besides, it had only been an hour since Sun Shaozong got off the boat and he had not even had time to report to the Ministry of War. How did the emperor know that he had returned?
