Chapter 370 Check Again
Not to mention the mother and her two daughters, who were plotting inside how to make the matter a fait accompli.
When Sun Shaozong saw Old Lady You go in, he turned to Liu Xianglian and asked, "What are your plans after you get married?"
"Intend?"
Liu Xianglian immediately said excitedly: "Of course, I will teach her to sing opera! With her voice, as long as she is slightly trained, I guarantee that she will be able to sing along with my husband and me. Then, the two of us can even sing together behind closed doors!"
Sun Shaozong is speechless.
Being casual and free is not a bad thing, but you are about to start a family and build a career, and you are still so heartless...
"That's not what I meant. I was talking about serious plans!"
"Serious plans?"
Liu Xianglian was now a little confused.
"For example..."
Sun Shaozong had no choice but to ask, "After you get married, are you going to study hard to get a good degree, or are you going to start some other business?"
"So this is what my brother is talking about."
Liu Xianglian suddenly realized it, but immediately shook his head and said, "I'm really not interested in fame and fortune. As for other livelihoods..."
He spread his hands: "I'm not interested either."
After saying this, seeing that Sun Shaozong looked unhappy, Liu Xianglian hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother, the shop left by my family brings in about 180 taels of silver a year. Add to that the savings over the years, and you should have no problem making a living."
"The accumulation of these years?"
Sun Shaozong sneered disdainfully: "Since your aunt left Beijing, your savings have probably shrunk by more than half, right? With your recent extravagant spending, how long can these several hundred taels of silver last?!"
Liu Xianglian suddenly became depressed and said hesitantly, "My brothers have always been very kind to me, so I can't be too stingy, right?"
The word " generous " also needs a solid family background to support it!
Seeing that he didn't seem to have any serious ideas, Sun Shaozong simply ordered without question: "After you marry her, you will come to the government office to work as my legal advisor for a period of time. Let me see how good you are at dealing with people, so that I can help you arrange a suitable job in the future."
Liu Xianglian's face turned bitter, and he was about to make some excuses, but by chance the curtain was raised, and Old Lady You came out from inside, smiling, "I was wrong just now. I have just discussed it with my daughters, and we don't have any other requests. As long as Lord Sun can treat our second sister well, that's all."
Sun Shaozong only thought that Third Sister You had persuaded her with her eloquence for the sake of marriage, so he did not think much about it. He just nodded and said, "If that's the case, then you choose a day and I will send the sedan chair and the money together."
Old Lady You waved her hands and said, "We are an orphan and a widow, so why would we choose a date? It all depends on when you are free!"
This is really well-behaved.
Sun Shaozong was satisfied, and seeing Liu Xianglian beside him looking impatient, he asked again: "What about the marriage between Brother Liu and your youngest daughter..."
"There's no rush for that. We have to wait until the second sister arrives at your house, and then she, as the younger sister, can prepare to get married."
That was indeed true. Anyway, Old Lady You was planning to spend her remaining years in her own home, so there was no need to worry that she would regret it later, and Sun Shaozong did not continue to ask any more questions.
Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Sun Shaozong stood up and said, "In that case, we will take our leave first. We will come to pick you up when everything is ready at home..."
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted, and Third Sister You poked her head out from inside, smiling and saying, "Brother-in-law, don't leave in a hurry. My sister has a few private words to say to you alone."
Liu Xianglian had originally stood up reluctantly, but when he heard "wait a minute", he immediately sat back down.
Sun Shaozong gave this guy a speechless look and went straight to the inner room - after all, they had just met at the dinner table, so what was the big deal of chatting for a few minutes in the boudoir?
But after he drew aside the curtain, he was stunned, because Third Sister You had changed into men's clothes again without him noticing, except that she didn't have a beard like she had the previous two times.
“You are…”
"Brother-in-law, don't worry about me. Just go and have a heart-to-heart with my sister."
Third Sister You pulled him into the house with a laugh, then slipped out and closed the door.
They're about to get engaged, but they're still so weird...
Sun Shaozong speechlessly withdrew his gaze from the bamboo curtain, glanced around the room, and was immediately attracted by You Erjie sitting in front of the dressing table.
But I only saw that the hem of her pomegranate skirt was tightly pressed by the spring stool under her hips, and the remaining fabric was pulled closer to her body, which perfectly set off her proud tall figure.
And this sexy curve, coupled with her shy smile, really made Sun Shaozong feel "heart-pounding" for her.
However, Sun Shaozong had experienced the world of wine and women after all, and he had cheated on more than one daughter-in-law of the Duke. Therefore, even though he was " heart-pounding", he was not as at a loss as a little boy.
He took two steps forward, admiring You Erjie's face and figure, and chuckled as he said, "I heard that you have some private things to say to me alone?"
You Erjie shyly lowered her head for a few times, opened and closed her little mouth several times, and then said hesitantly: "Master... Master sent a matchmaker to check me out yesterday, but... But are you worried that I have lost my virginity?"
Just now when they were eating, she called him "Sir", but now she changed her address to "Master", which meant that she had regarded herself as a member of Sun Shaozong's household.
Sun Shaozong smiled again and said, "That's not what I meant. Brother Liu was worried, so I sent someone to come and comfort him. Second sister seems to be a broad-minded person, so she shouldn't have any grudges, right?"
While she was talking about "broad-minded", he gave a few fierce glares at that "broad-minded" which made You Erjie's face flush and her hands and feet sore.
If she had acted as she usually did, You Erjie would have been speechless out of shame. But thinking of her mother and sister's instructions, she gritted her teeth, reached out her trembling hands to grasp the belt around her waist, slowly untied the knot, and then raised her hand to unbutton the button on her right shoulder.
Sun Shaozong was shocked when he saw this and asked, "What are you doing?!"
You Erjie did not dare to raise her head at all, but only lowered her head and stammered, "I'll ask the master to personally... personally check it again, so that he won't have any more worries."
As she spoke, she had already unbuttoned two buttons, revealing half of her crystal clear, jade-like shoulders.
Check it out for yourself?!
This is in broad daylight, isn't it inappropriate?
Besides, Liu Xianglian was still waiting for him to come back outside, so why should he just lie around in the house...
"elder brother!"
Just as I thought of this, I heard Liu Xianglian excitedly saying outside: "I'll take my third sister to the Prison God Temple, so I won't send you back to the government office!"
As they spoke, the footsteps of the two people were heard as they left excitedly.
This kid...
Sun Shaozong was speechless. Seeing that You Erjie had already reached for the last button, he suddenly said seriously, "Is there something going on in your family that you are deceiving me?!"
In fact, he felt something was amiss when You Erjie suddenly became so bold. And You Sanjie just happened to lead Liu Xianglian away. If someone said there was no conspiracy behind this, he would definitely not believe it!
But as soon as these words came out, You Erjie's rosy little face suddenly turned pale. She looked up at Sun Shaozong in horror, then quickly lowered her head and stammered, "No...no...no..."
This reaction is actually no different from a direct confession.
Sun Shaozong threatened her again with harsh words, and she confessed everything with tears in her eyes - they had been talking about taking a concubine for a long time, but she had already been arranged to get married!
At that time, Sun Shaozong was a little annoyed.
However, after repeated questioning, he determined that Zhang Hua was just a poor man addicted to gambling, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, his eyes changed from sharp to rippling, so he raised his chin and ordered, "Go on."
These three words made You Erjie stunned. Just as she was at a loss, she heard Sun Shaozong add: "Didn't you say that you wanted me to check it myself?"
You Erjie suddenly realized what was going on. She was filled with mixed feelings of shame and joy. She quickly raised her hand and unbuttoned the last button. Then she pushed her two slender legs to the ground and peeled off her pomegranate skirt inch by inch...
There is a poem saying:
This was originally "Song of Three Continents" by Emperor Chen Houzhu, but later it suddenly turned into an asterisk. You should read the original poem yourself.
