Chapter 18: Set Sail
The next morning, before Jia Lian woke up from a hangover, Sun Shaozong naturally became the commander-in-chief of the whole family. First, he packed their luggage and sundries into several carts and instructed people to go to the backyard to ask the female members to set off.
During this period, Sun Shaozong thought of Jia Lian's drunken talk that day. He secretly looked at Lin Daiyu's luggage. Seeing that it was as shabby as he thought it was, he could not help sighing.
As the saying goes, "Being a Qing Magistrate for three years, earning the salary of snowflakes falling.” The Yamen of the salt merchant was in the best position in the world. It was more than ten times better than the prefecture.
No matter how incorruptible Lin Ruhai was, he still has millions and a hundred thousand taels of silver, but now only these worthless sundries are left. Combined with Jia Lian's words that he felt sorry for Daiyu after he was drunk that day, the whereabouts of the silver can be imagined.
"Why did Shaozong sigh?"
At this time, the voice of Jia Yucun came from behind him suddenly.
Sun Shaozong felt a sudden surprise in his heart. He hurriedly turned back and said perfunctorily, "It's a pity that Lord Lin was so incorruptible as an official, but unfortunately died young."
Sigh~
Jia Yucun also sighed and said with emotion, "Brother Ruhai was a talented man, but heaven was envied of his talents that he died. Fortunately, there is a relative of the noble family in the Rongguo Mansion. Otherwise, it would be considered good if there was no one to take care of the affairs. What will I do with my lonely and helpless female student?"
Noble relatives refer to expensive relatives!
Hearing Jia Yucun's emphasis on the word ”noble and relative,” Sun Shaozong knew that the old fox had already seen the clue, but all his sentences were praising the Rongguo Mansion. There was no omission. It was very cunning.
After a while, a woman came out and shouted, "The girls are coming out. People who don't have anything to do with it should avoid it!"
Sun Shaozong consciously led Feng Xin to the side. But when he thought of Daiyu, he was curious. So when the female members went out and got on the carriage, he couldn't help but look around.
Next to Ruan Rong was a small lady with thin bones and fine facial features. Even if Yan Liben was born again, it would be difficult to draw such color.
T/L Notes: Yan Liben is a famous painter of the Tang Dynasty.
For a moment, Sun Shaozong, who was so fond of plumpness, inevitably came up with some thoughts that he shouldn't have, so he was busy reciting the heart-clearing mantra three times:
More than three years but less than ten years!
More than three years but less than ten years!
However, this description was appropriate. A transgressor like Sun Shaozong just puts his "heart" into someone else's skin.
The two chatted a few more words, and then a young man came and said that Jia Yucun had boarded the ship and asked whether he wanted to leave immediately.
Sun Shaozong naturally wanted to hurry on the road, so he gave an order. The boatman shouted to untie the rope, pull up the gangplank and took out several poles to carefully prop the boat out of the wharf. Then he raised the sail and went up along the river.
—Dividing Line—
Along the way, Sun Shaozong either exchanged wine and sang with Jia Lian or talked with Jia Yucun. Occasionally, he got the opportunity to have a very intimate session with Ruan Rong, but rarely met Daiyu.
It was in the middle of winter. The river was cold and the wind was blowing. Lin Daiyu was so weak that she had to sit in the cabin and engage in literary activities or chat with Ruan Rong to relieve boredom.
But that afternoon, Sun Shaozong tricked Ruan Rong into his cabin. He tries every possible way to coax her into doing the ”rub-down” with her slender hands. When he was at the climax, he could not help but feel greedy again and gently pressed her head down
Bang!
It happened that at this time, he didn't know whether it was hit by something. The hull shook violently. Ruan Rong's foot was unstable. She falls onto Sun Shaozong's and accidentally hits the important part between his legs!
With this collision, he almost feels that he has lost it all!
"Ah!!!"
Sun Shaozong screamed. He clamped his legs in pain and rolled from the bed to the bottom of the bed. He whined and breathed heavily.
Ruan Rong was so scared that she quickly stepped forward to hold him and asked with concern, "Brother Sun?! Are you alright? Do you want to... Do you want to see a doctor?”
Currently, the passenger ship is passing through a hilly area. There are cliffs more than 20 meters high on both sides of the river. Where can she find a doctor?
Sun Shaozong snorted again for a while, then reluctantly raised his face with blue veins and said with a strong smile, "No... It's okay. Just let me take a break... Hiss! Just rest for a moment. You... Can go back to the cabin first. The deck is in a mess now. If someone comes to me, you won’t be able to go."
At this time, there was indeed a lot of noise on the deck. It seemed that there were two groups of people shouting and scolding each other.
Although Ruan Rong was worried about Sun Shaozong's "injury," she was also afraid of being blocked in the cabin. Therefore, under Sun Shaozong's repeated urging, she finally went out of the cabin, looking back repeatedly at every step she took.
After she left, Sun Shaozong immediately locked the door and jumped up and down like a rabbit with a "tail.” Where did that tough-guy image go?
