Chapter 233 Expected and Unexpected
Three days, three days, and three more days!
After another sleepless night, Sun Shaozong counted on his fingers and realized that his life as a monk that had lasted for more than half a month would finally be lifted - by the way, he could also unlock a few exclusive breastfeeding postures, which made it difficult for him to control himself just by thinking about them.
"Master~"
It’s really hard to control myself!
After hearing this shy and delicate call, Sun Shaozong realized that he had unknowingly put the little maid who was responsible for putting on the boots on his thighs...
Amitabha, it’s a sin, a sin, it’s really a sin!
Although the maid's face was full of expectation and she was quite flattering, Sun Shaozong still couldn't bring himself to do it to a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old - so after silently reciting a few words of the Heart Cleansing Mantra, he resolutely pulled his right hand out from the maid's vest.
It is said that when he wanted to suppress his evil thoughts in the past, he would silently visualize Feng Jie's appearance of cooling off and relieving internal heat in his mind. However, when he tried to do so recently, what emerged in his mind were Wang Xifeng's charming yet sinister facial features.
The result was not only failure to suppress the evil thoughts in my heart, but instead it added fuel to the fire.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong had no choice but to adapt to the local customs and learned a few heart-clearing mantras from Ruan Rong instead .
However, the effect of this Qingxin Mantra seemed to be getting worse and worse, because every time he chanted the mantra, he would think of the group of nuns in Shuiyue Temple...
Alas~
Ultimately, it’s all because of my increasingly weak will.
This extravagant and decadent life of aristocratic bureaucracy can really easily lead to people’s depravity!
While spitting on this extravagant and decadent life, Sun Shaozong stepped firmly on the maid's thigh with his boots, got up from the bed, and with the help of two maids, he simply washed up, and then went straight to Ruan Rong in the backyard.
Babies who are less than a month old always sleep more and wake up less. In the past, when Sun Shaozong went there early in the morning, eight out of ten times it was not a coincidence. But today he was able to give him some face. As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw his son staring with his eyes wide open and blowing bubbles, with his two little hands grabbing things.
Sun Shaozong hurriedly came forward and placed his little finger in his palm. The chubby little hand immediately clenched it tightly, babbling and shaking.
While teasing his son, he casually asked, "I'll sit in the government office for a while this morning, then go to celebrate your sister's birthday - is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"There's nothing to explain."
Hearing him mention Lin Daiyu, Ruan Rong put the tiger-head shoes in her hand on the bed and sighed helplessly: "Even if there is something personal, it is not good to let the master pass it to her."
After a pause, she continued, "I am now looking forward to the eldest wife marrying quickly. By then, it will be much more convenient for the two families to visit each other."
Ultimately it was a question of status. Although Ruan Rong acted like a proper mistress in the mansion, she was not recognized as such outside. Therefore, even when Lin Daiyu wanted to go to her house to congratulate her on the birth of her son, she could not do so.
but……
Hearing her say that she was looking forward to Jia Yingchun coming home soon, Sun Shaozong felt very uncomfortable. After all, Jia Yingchun married into the Sun family not just to be the 'first wife'.
Feeling somewhat guilty about this matter, Sun Shaozong did not dare to continue the conversation. He just had breakfast with Ruan Rong and Xiangling, and then hurried to the East Courtyard.
Yu Qian and his friends were about to start the second round of the exam today. Although he was not going to send the three of them to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall like he did in the first round, he would at least go over to give them a few words of encouragement before they left, fulfilling his duties as an 'elder'.
He made a quick inspection, and although he did not ask any detailed questions, he could tell from his expression that Sun Chengye had indeed failed the exam.
Sun Shaozong specifically instructed his servant to keep a close eye on him before and after the announcement of the results. After all, it was not uncommon for failed candidates to commit suicide these days.
After these matters were settled, Sun Shaozong called Zhang Cheng to get on the carriage and headed straight for the government office.
As expected, when I arrived at the Criminal Law Department, I saw Lin Delu and Zhao Wuwei waiting at the door of the main hall early. They chatted with each other and reported the process of yesterday's "welcoming banquet".
Wei Ruolan was quite depressed last night, but Han Fuyin put a lot of effort into it, praising Wei Ruolan like it was free. He almost blatantly incited everyone to change her ways and start a new life.
However, the officials of the Criminal Law Department had the most contact with Sun Shaozong on a daily basis, and they knew the methods of this "Third Master" best, so no one dared to betray him in public.
As for whether there are people who have secretly defected to Wei Ruolan, that will need to be carefully identified in the future.
"That's right."
After telling the story of last night, Zhao Wuwei suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "Cadre Qiu didn't show up last night either. I heard that he received the note during the day and threw it away."
It seems that the plan of inciting the playboys to fight against each other is still very feasible.
But if we want to have a direct conflict between the two of them, I'm afraid we are still a little short of the right time...
There is still a long way to go.
After waving away the two men, Sun Shaozong simply dealt with a few official documents and then strolled out of the government office.
As mentioned earlier, in order to avoid being alone in the Jia Mansion and feeling too embarrassed, Sun Shaozong asked Jia Baoyu to invite Jia Lian and Jia Qiang to accompany him in advance.
But when she arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, she was welcomed by Jia Baoyu into the west living room, but there was no sign of Jia Lian and Jia Qiang.
"Brother, please be patient. You will know what is going on soon."
After leaving these words, Jia Baoyu slipped away.
So in the spacious living room that was ventilated on all sides, Sun Shaozong was the only one left sitting at the table, watching the servants of the Jia mansion put plates of delicacies from land and sea on the table.
I really shouldn't have come!
Sun Shaozong sighed, picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat heartily - since there was no one to talk to, he had to use delicious food to talk.
Just at this moment, the door curtain was suddenly lifted again, and Jia Baoyu walked in first, holding the curtain with his hand, but let in a young girl walking like a willow swaying in the wind.
"Miss Lin?"
Jia Baoyu actually brought Lin Daiyu here!
This was somewhat unexpected for Sun Shaozong. He had been to Rongguo Mansion so many times, and although he had seen many female relatives, they were basically just coincidences. This was the first time that someone had come to him on their own initiative.
He quickly stood up and bowed: "Miss Lin came here in person, is there anything you want me to tell your sister?"
Lin Daiyu shook her head slightly and said sternly, "Dayu has the audacity to come here. First, I want to personally offer a glass of wine to Lord Sun. Second, ..."
She bit her cherry lips slightly, and the pressed redness turned a little pale, and then she squeezed out the second half of the sentence from her pearly teeth: "Secondly, Daiyu also has something to ask you in private."
As he spoke, his eyes, which were like autumn dew, glanced around him, and Jia Baoyu tactfully withdrew.
