Chapter 257: On the Accusation and Private Affairs by Reputation
After being injured, he initially caught a cold. Later, he argued with Vice Governor Lin about some details of the memorial, and the argument didnt end until late at night.
After leaving the Chief Political Yamen, Sun Shaozong felt his eyelids sink and he walked with a flutter. Finally, two lower-level officials helped him into the carriage. As soon as he leaned against the cushion, he completely lost consciousness.
He didnt know how long it took for him to get back to the inn.
In a daze, he felt several hands wandering around his body. He subconsciously grasped one of them with his backhand, with a delicate and smooth touch that clearly belonged to a young woman.
How could there be a woman's hand?
And there's more than one!
Didn't he return to the inn from the Chief Political Yamen?
Sun Shaozong reluctantly lifted his eyelids, and in the dim light, he saw several strange and pretty girls sitting around him, stretching their white hands into the quilt and wiping his body with a dry cotton cloth.
The three on the outside were just fine, but the two on the inside were wearing thin spring clothes. With only a thin band around the waist untied, a light pull on it, they could travel naked without worry, in the standard appearance of a maid for bed.
"You... you are..."
Sun Shaozong opened his mouth in disbelief and asked, but his voice was hoarse and deep, and even he felt harsh and tight.
"Are you awake?!"
However, hearing his deep voice, the women were all overjoyed. There was even someone who brought a bowl of ginseng soup and carefully fed it to Sun Shaozong with a spoon as they explained in a coquettish voice, "We are all sent by the Gentry of Jinmen Mansion to serve you to repay your kindness in saving our lives."
Another person beside him added, "I originally gave away a lot of silver, but Lord Xiang refused, leaving only a few of us."
I see
Although Sun Shaozong might not have worried about the lives of these gentries, even if he didnt take action, it was inevitable that their wife and daughter would be insulted, which for some people was more terrifying than the grace of saving lives.
Therefore, it was not uncommon to send a woman of wealth and silk as a reward.
Now that he knew the origins of these women, Sun Shaozong took it easy. Anyway, he really needed someone to serve him now. If he didnt like them, he could just send them back after he recovered.
He motioned to the woman to continue feeding more than half a bowl of ginseng soup, and when his throat became moister and his spirit and energy increased, Sun Shaozong then asked, What time is it now?'"
"It's nine o'clock in the evening now."
The woman who was feeding ginseng soup was about to answer when someone rushed to her and said, "You came back in the middle of the night and have been sleeping soundly all the time, I have been worried!"
The other girls were also busy nodding, posing as if they were worried.
Nine oclock?
Didnt that mean that he slept for a full ten or so hours?
According to the calculation of time, if the Imperial Court were to send someone over immediately after receiving the urgent report, it should probably
Things we have discussed?
Sun Shaozong naturally knew what his Big Brother meant, but he hasn't been in a hurry about it at all.
While waiting to be explained, Sun Shaozu said sternly, "We would rather delay, but we must not force it. Otherwise, if we produce a sick child, what should we do?"
"In addition, I also took the opportunity to take some precautions so as not to cause any further trouble if Lady Jia rushed into the matter."
He has become more elaborate!
It seemed that his Big Brother had been thinking much about this matter in his daily life.
But
"Big Brother."
Sun Shaozong said helplessly, "I think it's better to take a long-term view. Our brothers are all seeing an upward trend, so why risk losing our reputation..."
"Reputation for bullshit!"
Sun Shaozu glared and said angrily, "Who in that wealthy family lacks this kind of sneaky and insidious nonsense? Lets take Ningguo Mansion as an example, what was the reputation of their brother-in-law and the people in 49 cities?"
"And Prince Zhongshun, who loves to mix men and women into a bed of nonsense, heard that when his interest rises, even the side concubine who has won the solemn decree has to roll with the actors in his royal residence!"
"General Wu of the city defense camp bought a mistress two years ago, not far from the northwest of our house. Guess who he was raising inside? It's his widowed niece and daughter-in-law!"
"The Right Commander of the military department..."
"Dali Temple..."
His Big Brother was so familiar that he spoke of a dozen absurd things that he indignantly said, These people's future has not been affected yet, let alone something that I volunteered to do?"
The problem was that he didnt sign up for this
Sun Shaozong thought this way in his heart, but he didn't dare say it clearly. He only chatted and said, "We don't have to follow that bad study, do we?"
"What?"
Sun Shaozu saw that he was still unwilling to obey and suddenly stood up and said, "Do you want me to kneel and beg for you?"
Great~
It seemed that this matter couldnt be discussed further.
Even if Zhou Ruqing knelt for a year, Sun Shaozong wouldn't change his mind, but it would be a big difference to change the mind of his Big Brother.
Even if they didnt consider the upbringing of the original master, just the cost of eating and drinking in a year was all dependent on his Big Brother, who not only took care of everything in every way but also gave him anything he wanted!
A man's heart was made of flesh. At present, Sun Shaozong has regarded him as his own brother thus, how could he bear his kneeling?
