Chapter 33: Break Down Barriers and Get Married, Meet Jia Zheng, and Hire a Teacher

Sigh~

Sun Shaozong sighed and put down the book in his hand, which only the front cover was open. There was no progress in reading the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He looked at the candlestick next to the crane stepping on the spirit tortoise and was stunned.

After returning from Jia's residence, Ruan Rong confined herself to her room. It was said that she didn't even eat dinner.

Sun Shaozong also tried to persuade her, but he didn't know what to say. Should he tell her that the position of the main hostess was no longer available, so she should be a concubine?!

Maybe...

He shouldn't have taken her back to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Just thinking about it, he heard a trivial noise coming from the outside. At first, Sun Shaozong thought it was two servant girls from the outside who were playing again, so he didn't care too much. But the noise was getting bigger and bigger, so he couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

What was the fuss about?

Although Sun Shaozong always felt that it was pitiful for a 14-year-old girl to be a slave, and he took good care of them during ordinary times, this didn't mean that he could allow the servant girls to be spoiled.

What's more, he is in a bad mood now.

After a little patience, Sun Shaozong stood up and opened the door suddenly.

"You two..."

A reprimand that had reached the edge of his mouth, but Sun Shaozong swallowed it.

Because a beautiful woman was standing outside the door, but who else can she be if she was not Ruan Rong?

"Brother Sun."

Looking at each other, Ruan Rong shyly raised her skirt and asked, "Do I look good in this dress?"

Sun Shaozong naturally did not bother to pay attention to his calculations.

In the daytime, he made preparations for the upcoming Chinese New Year with the old housekeeper, Wei. In the evening, he flirted with Ruan Rong. They were not the legal husband and wife, but with their relationship and the way they act, they were better than a legal husband and wife. He had to read the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty to get familiar with it as soon as possible and was busy for a while.

On the morning of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Feng Xin, who had not been seen for many days, paid a visit and brought a large cart of dried fruits. He said they were produced in his village and were not worth much money.

After hearing about his reporting to the military headquarters, Sun Shaozong kept waiting for several days without any news. Sun Shaozong asked his big brother to help him inquire about it. With Sun Shaozu's current rank, he might not have any say in major events, but just a mere future of a seven-grade patrol inspection, he can help.

Feng Xin went to thank him for his kindness. He turned around and sent another thousand silver money. Only then did Sun Shaozong know that he was still a ”local tyrant.”

In this way, the family had a happy new year.

On the second day of the lunar new year, it's necessary for him to go with his big brother to visit some old friends and relatives. Sun Shaozong thought the Rongguo Mansion must be in the top row, but his big brother went to the mansion of Feng Tang first, which was the epithet of a great conquering general.

Later, after inquiring, he learned that Feng Tang, who was now the General Leader of the Patrol Camp, was Sun Shaozu's immediate superior.

Now that Sun Shaozong's fame of "A few words to solve a strange case" has spread all over the capital, General Feng was very friendly to him. He also especially tells Sun Shaozong to hang out with his son, Feng Ziying, in the future, so that the ”unfilial son” can know that however strong one is, there is always someone stronger.

After coming out of the General Leader of the Patrol Camp’s house, the second place to go was undoubtedly the Rongguo Mansion.

Originally, the two brothers wanted to meet first-class general Jia She, but they were intercepted by the Second Master Jia Zheng on the way. They let his big brother go and only led Sun Shaozong into the Rongxi Hall in the north.

Jia Zheng was in his early 40s. He was quite elegant and handsome. It could be seen that he must have been a refined and cultured man when he was young.

But now the literary style is so upright that almost every sentence has to be quoted from classics, which makes it difficult for people to cope with.

Fortunately, Sun Shaozong had read some books in modern times, so he didn't show his timidity on the spot. It was just that he had an extravagant and baseless chat. Until he left the Rongguo Mansion, he didn't understand the purpose of Jia Zheng's approach to him.

After Sun Shaozu asked for the details, he was not happy. He doubted that Jia Zheng was going to marry his concubine's daughter to Sun Shaozong, so he complained at home for a long time that the daughter that was raised by a concubine is not worthy of my brother.

Who knows, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Jia Lian sent a private tutor's remuneration and an invitation with great fanfare to hire Sun Shaozong to teach riding and shooting skills in the Rongguo Mansion and supervise Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Jia Lan, and the other young masters of the nobilities.
