Chapter 232: Our Lady
When they came out of the cell, Sun Shaozong saw Jia Baoyu looking dazed, so he waved his hand in front of his eyes and said with a smile, "Come back, my soul. You have seen corpses before. You won't be frightened by a few living nuns, will you?"
Jia Baoyu sighed: "I think, apart from the appearance, they are ten times more terrifying than that corpse, especially the last one..."
He smacked his lips in fear and could not help questioning, "I have seen those evil monks in Tiekan Temple before. They looked like vulgar people who cheated the world and stole reputations. How could they treat three innocent women like this?"
Can a nun be considered a decent woman ?
Sun Shaozong did not agree with this statement, but he did not intend to argue with Jia Baoyu. He shook his head and said, "People's personalities will change under great pressure, but there will not be many such extremely distorted changes."
"But aren't all three of them..."
"Don't forget that there were more than a dozen nuns in Shuiyue Temple who were raped by the evil monk. These three were the most affected. Otherwise, Jia Qin would not have chosen them as accomplices."
After hearing this ratio, Jia Baoyu's mood improved a little.
But Miaoyu on the side was still in a daze, even forgetting that she was in front of others. She subconsciously put her hand on her chest, just enough to reveal a plump . Although it was not as plump as Li Wan's, it was taller and more upturned.
There aren't many shapewear these days, and unlike the bold Tang Dynasty, where people loved to use bra wraps to squeeze their breasts upward, so one can probably tell 70% of a woman's true appearance just by looking at her outline.
I didn't expect that this nun, despite her fluttering sleeves, actually had some real substance...
Sun Shaozong thought about these nonsense in his heart, but his face showed a bit of sarcasm: "Why, after meeting these three nuns, are you more hesitant?"
"No!"
Miaoyu shook her head firmly and said, "Since you also said that people get redder when they are around red people, people get blacker when they are around black people, I believe that as long as we work hard, we can make the children they give birth to be good people!"
As she spoke, her pretty face, which already glowed with the soft glow of white porcelain, was even more radiant with maternal glow.
To be honest, Sun Shaozong really couldn't understand this stubborn saint - if she had the free time, why not just get married and have a few children?
Of course, from the government's point of view, he is still very happy to get rid of this burden.
"but……"
Just when Sun Shaozong was ready to strike while the iron was hot and finalize the matter, Miaoyu hesitated again and said, "But my place is a nunnery after all. If the baby is a boy, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."
Although Sun Shaozong felt that raising a few little boys in a nunnery was not a big deal - at most they could be dressed in women's clothes, and maybe it would provide them with an extra 'way out' in the future.
But Miaoyu's look clearly showed that she was unwilling to compromise.
After a little hesitation, Sun Shaozong said, "Let's first decide on the adoption of a baby girl. If a baby boy is born, we in Shuntian Prefecture will think of other ways."
Because of the idea of favoring boys over girls these days, baby boys are much easier to sell than baby girls. Therefore, as long as Miaoyu is willing to adopt the baby girl, Shuntian Prefecture will have avoided most of the trouble.
As he was talking, Sun Shaozong led the two men out of the small courtyard where they were under house arrest. Seeing that they were not far from the back door of Shuntian Mansion, he asked, "Brother Bao, do you want to go to my Criminal Law Department to sit for a while, or..."
"No."
Jia Baoyu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Wei is there now, so it would be inconvenient for me to go. Since Sister Miaoyu's affairs have been settled, we should just go back home. Besides, Sister Lin will have her birthday tomorrow, and I have to make arrangements for her when I go back."
As he spoke, he suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "I almost forgot. When I left, Sister Lin specifically told me to invite my second brother to our house tomorrow to drink a few glasses of birthday wine!"
Birthday wine?
What's so good about a little girl's birthday wine?
Besides, he went with Ruan Rong last year, and it would be inappropriate for him, a grown man, to go alone to celebrate Lin Daiyu's birthday this year.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong rejected Jia Baoyu's invitation without thinking.
But Jia Baoyu took it as a "death order" and insisted on getting a definite answer from him. He also said that if Sun Shaozong didn't agree today, he would go to his house in person to invite him tomorrow.
There was really no way out as Sun Shaozong could only agree reluctantly, and asked Baoyu to call Jia Lian and Jia Qiang to help him so that he wouldn't be too bored alone.
The book does not elaborate.
After seeing off Jia Baoyu and Miaoyu, Sun Shaozong returned to the Criminal Law Department alone. As soon as he sat down in the main hall, he saw Lin Delu coming in from outside holding a wedding invitation.
Sun Shaozong casually guessed, "Is it a letter to welcome Judge Wei?"
The welcoming banquet is usually prepared by the lower-level officials on the day the new official takes office.
However, Wei Ruolan lost face yesterday and found it difficult to vent her anger, so she left early after noon. Naturally, the welcoming banquet had to be postponed until today.
"grown ups."
Lin Delu asked cautiously, "I heard that Han Fuyin will definitely be there tonight. Do you think we should prepare?"
In order to support Wei Ruolan, Han Anbang really spent a lot of money - when Sun Shaozong first took office, Jia Yucun went to show his support, which was already considered a high standard, and the treatment Wei Ruolan enjoyed now was obviously much higher than his.
"What's there to prepare for?"
But after hearing what Lin Delu said, Sun Shaozong stretched his body and said, "Since Lord Han has come forward, I am happy to be lazy and go back to spend some time with my wife and children."
Lin Delu suddenly became anxious: "Sir, if you don't go, then I...should we also..."
He wanted to say, "Should we not go too?", but when he thought about the possible consequences of doing so, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
"You don't need to think too much. Just eat what you should eat and praise what you should praise."
Sun Shaozong smiled and said, "After all, he is a sixth-rank judge appointed by the court. He must be polite and courteous . As long as you don't follow him and do anything that violates the laws of the country, that's fine."
"But what if..."
Lin Delu was still struggling: "What if there is someone who is not in a clear mind and really surrenders to me..."
"To seek refuge?"
Sun Shaozong's face turned serious and he scolded, "We are all serving the country, where did the word 'surrender' come from?"
Then, he added, "But then again, since the New Year, everyone in our Criminal Law Department has been a little slack. I think it's time to catch a few examples and rectify the atmosphere."
