Chapter 837: One Ear (Part 2)
After coming out of Jia Jing's room, my mind was still filled with the image of one of his ears being wrapped.
This guy didn't know how he had offended that chaste woman, and had one of his ears bitten off and was scratched with many bloody marks, but he still insisted that it was the work of a wild cat.
Thinking of Jia She's grinning face, as if he wanted to scold but couldn't, Sun Shaozong almost couldn't help laughing. He had to lower his head to hide his smile, but he found that it made it easier to expose himself.
Because he was much taller than the average person, by lowering his head, the other person could see him clearly.
Being tall isn’t always a good thing!
Standing next to a servant who was only 1.55 meters tall, Sun Shaozong sighed shamelessly.
The servant, who was being shown off his superiority but was unaware of it, was standing on tiptoe to lift the door curtain for Sun Shaozong when he suddenly heard someone outside announce, "The Second Madam and the Concubine from Zijin Street are here to visit the Master."
When Sun Shaozong heard the words "the concubine of Zijin Street", his heart skipped a beat.
Although he knew that they would run into each other sooner or later, he never thought it would happen so soon, let alone in Jia She's room.
It would be too late to dodge at this time.
So he bowed and stepped aside.
Soon, two maids were seen lifting the door curtain from the outside with feather dusters, and then Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue came in one after another.
Seeing Sun Shaozong waiting in the living room, Mrs. Wang stopped in her tracks and asked in surprise, "Why is my dear nephew here?"
Sun Shaozong pointed to the east and said helplessly, "I originally came to Ningguo Mansion to pay my respects, but then I heard that Brother Bao was ill, so I went to Yihong Courtyard to sit with him for a while. I never expected to hear that the master here had an accident again."
Mrs. Wang was just asking casually and had no intention of digging into the matter, so after listening to Sun Shaozong's words, she just nodded slightly and went in to visit her uncle Jia She.
But after walking a few steps, he found that Aunt Xue had not followed him. He turned around and asked in confusion, "Why, aren't you going in?"
Aunt Xue was originally looking at Sun Shaozong secretly, but when she was asked this question, she lowered her head guiltily and stammered, "I... I still won't go in. Sister, just tell her a message for me."
Because she had expressed her fear of the cat demon on the way, Mrs. Wang did not suspect anything at first. She just shook her head helplessly and said, "You, you are so old, why do you still believe those nonsense?"
Having said that, he went straight into the inner room.
Although Aunt Xue was relieved when she left, there were seven or eight maids and servants standing in the room. She did not dare to communicate with Sun Shaozong. She could only feel all kinds of emotions in her heart, such as sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, cycling .
In fact, Sun Shaozong was also very embarrassed at this time.
As a junior, he should have taken the initiative to step forward and say hello, and then chat with Aunt Xue.
But if he really wanted to do so, he was afraid that it would irritate Aunt Xue and make her reveal her true colors in front of others.
He wanted to just leave, but he was afraid that she would misunderstand that he was avoiding her. If Aunt Xue's mentality was unbalanced at that time, she would inevitably be exposed.
Alas~
I really shouldn’t have come to see this ear!
As for that night, although it was a coincidence and he was half-hearted, Sun Shaozong did not feel the slightest regret.
"Master, Master!"
At this moment, a shrill voice suddenly came from far away. The doorkeeper hurriedly jumped open the door curtain, and saw Mrs. Xing stumbling in, and she picked up Aunt Xue with one arm, making her stagger.
"Aunt, be careful!"
Sun Shaozong was quick to reach out and support her.
After Aunt Xue gained her footing, she quickly pushed away his support and said with her head down, "I... I'm fine."
The voice was not only trembling, but also hesitant and timid. Anyone with sharp ears would know that there must be something fishy going on.
Fortunately, Mrs. Xing was crying and making a lot of noise at that time, so no one noticed the little abnormality in the corner.
But this can't go on like this!
Among the women Sun Shaozong has cheated on with in recent years, Aunt Xue is almost the oldest, but when it comes to self-regulation ability, she is probably the worst one.
If someone really found out about this...
It seems I need to think of a way to talk to her and relieve her of her burden.
Just as he was thinking this, he noticed Aunt Xue peeking at him again, so Sun Shaozong immediately bowed and said, "Aunt, I have some things to do, so I'll leave first."
Having said that, he walked out of the main room.
Because of the support just now, Aunt Xue did not think too much about it. She just breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, a vague feeling of emptiness and loneliness arose in her heart.
But at the same time, the inner room was filled with Mrs. Xing's wailing. Those who knew knew that Jia She had lost half of his ear, while those who didn't think he had gone with Jia Jing.
Perhaps unable to bear the commotion, Mrs. Wang quickly came out.
But before crossing the threshold, she turned back and said, "I'm going to go see Feng girl. If she's feeling better, I'll ask her to come out and help. Look at how noisy it's been these past few days. Even a wild cat has gotten into the house!"
As he said this, he winked at his sister, and the two of them walked out side by side.
When they reached the corner of the second gate, Aunt Xue was about to go west, but she saw Mrs. Wang turn east without hesitation.
"elder sister."
She couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't you say you wanted to go sit with Miss Feng?"
"That's what I said."
Madam Wang shook her handkerchief and pretended to be indifferent, saying, "Even now, Miss Feng hasn't shown up. I guess she's seriously ill. I can't force her to come out and take care of things, can I?"
At the same time, she was thinking: I don't know if Feng Jieer has cleaned up everything. If the floor is still a mess, it would be awkward for me to go and ask, or not to ask .
…
Let’s not talk about these two sisters.
But Sun Shaozong came out from Jia She and went straight to the vicinity of the Grand View Garden. He was hesitating whether to go to Ningguo Mansion to meet You Erjie and ask about the current situation; or continue to hide in Yihong Courtyard and take a break from work with Jia Baoyu who claimed to be sick.
Suddenly, a group of beautiful girls came along the outer wall of the Grand View Garden, and leading them was the eldest sister-in-law, Jia Yingchun.
Sun Shaozong hurried forward to greet him.
Behind them, Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baoqin and others were also busy calling "Brother" and "Second Brother Sun".
After finally finishing the greetings, Jia Yingchun asked, "Did Erlang just come from my father's place? Is his injury serious?"
Although the father and daughter were not very close, they were of the same blood after all. When Jia Yingchun heard that Jia She's ear had been bitten off, she couldn't help but feel worried.
"It's not serious, but it's bound to be disfigured in the future."
As they were talking, they suddenly saw the steward of Ningguo Mansion rushing up like a flash, and shouted from a distance: "Master Sun, Master Sun! The emperor has issued an order, and our eldest grandmother doesn't quite understand it. Please go over and help us understand it!"
Emperor Guangde issued an edict?
Sun Shaozong was startled and thought to himself that those idiots had indeed attracted the emperor's attention.
He did not bother to say anything more to the girls. He bowed to Jia Yingchun, apologized, and hurried to Ningguo Mansion with the steward.
At the front of the crowd, Xue Baochai stared at Sun Shaozong's back, with doubt and confusion flashing across her eyes.
At this moment, my shoulders suddenly felt heavy. It was Xue Baoqin who leaned forward and said with a grin, "It's not too late for you to change your mind now, sister."
"What nonsense!"
Xue Baochai lowered her head and pushed her little head away, rolled her eyes at the same time, then pulled Jia Yingchun up and left without looking back.
