Chapter 959: Watching His Building Rise (Part 1)
Although the status had been determined long ago, Xing Xiuyan came this time under the pretext of visiting her sister-in-law Jia Yingchun. As Sun Shaozong's brother-in-law, he couldn't just barge in and ask for clarification without reason.
So he thought about it for a moment, and went to You Erjie's place in the west wing of the backyard, and asked You Erjie to call her mother over to give her instructions, and ordered her to go to the vicinity of the Xing family to find out the truth - the Xing family was staying in the small courtyard of the You family, so she was familiar with the neighbors, so it was natural to send her there.
After receiving the order, You's mother did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. She hurriedly took Caixia back to the old house. After about half an hour, she turned back.
"I heard that two days ago, the eldest master of Rongguo Mansion invited guests, and the relative came back and made a scene. These days, he has a gloomy face, and no one dares to greet him on the street."
"And then..."
As it turns out, it was because of Jia She again!
Last time, he came to the Sun Mansion under the pretext of celebrating the second prince's birthday and asked for a huge sum of money. After being rejected by Sun Shaozong, he became resentful and spread rumors outside, completely disregarding the relationship between the two families.
Although he had always been a carefree person, he was still eyeing the title of the eldest master of the Rongguo Mansion. As a result, many people mistakenly believed that the Jia and Sun families had become enemies.
This time, Jia Zheng paid a high-profile visit and specifically pointed out that Jia She was reflecting on himself behind closed doors. This was also to repair the relationship between the two parties and quell the rumors that were growing more and more intense outside.
Originally, for Jia Yingchun's sake, Sun Shaozong had no intention of arguing with this guy anymore, but he never thought that he would interfere with his own marriage!
It seems that this guy must be taught a lesson.
Sun Shaozong was just pondering over his decision when Mother You stole a glance at him. Seeing that Master Sun seemed determined, she boldly said, "He supports the business that makes a fortune every day and he is always very polite. I never thought he would raise such an ungrateful person! In my opinion, he should..."
"Thank you for your help."
Sun Shaozong raised his hand to stop You's mother's slander, and chuckled, "We are all family, so I won't be polite with you. I wanted to give you two pieces of the shark silk that was put into the warehouse last month, but I didn't know what color you liked. Today is a coincidence. Let Caixia take you to the warehouse to have a look and pick the ones you like."
As he spoke, he nodded his chin slightly towards Caixia.
Caixia understood and hurriedly led You's mother out of the west wing.
"Second Master."
When Mother You left, Second Sister You could no longer stand and quickly knelt on the ground, saying without hesitation: "Mother feels sorry for you, and she has no intention of making up stories about Miss Xing!"
Although she hasn't been able to get pregnant yet, she has become much more mature.
"Okay."
Sun Shaozong waved his hand to signal her to stand up, thought silently for a moment, and then instructed: "When Caixia comes back, ask her to go to the Xing family and tell them that on July 30, I was invited to Rongguo Mansion to celebrate my birthday, and see if the Xing family wants to go with us."
As expected, Xing Zhong probably had the idea of breaking off the engagement at the instigation of Jia She.
It stands to reason that he deserves a good warning for his inconsistency and double-crossing behavior to serve as a warning to .
On the other hand, Xing Xiuyan was not satisfied with the marriage at first, but now she took the initiative to come to discuss the wedding date...
How could Sun Shaozong bear to let go of such a woman with excellent character, appearance and talent?
Therefore, for now he could only be tolerant and invite him to celebrate the birthday together to let Xing Zhong understand that the relationship between the Sun and Jia families could not be erased by Jia She's few words.
But this tolerated Xing Zhong, but made Jia She even more intolerant.
So that afternoon, Sun Shaozong ordered his men to find Hong Jiu and go to his house, preparing to set a trap in the market to make Jia She suffer a heavy price.
However, I'm afraid this matter can only be resolved after Lady Jia's birthday banquet - after all, Jia She is currently at home reflecting on his mistakes, so no matter how much he plans, it will be out of reach.
…
A few days passed in a flash, and it was July 28th in a blink of an eye. Before daybreak, hundreds of thousands of firecrackers shook most of the capital.
Because the royal relatives and officials from various ministries were invited to the banquet on the first two days, and colleagues and friends would not be invited until the 30th, the Sun family only prepared gifts but did not rush to visit.
Sun Shaozong continued to work in the Dali Temple as usual.
Unexpectedly, just after 11:00 a.m., someone from Rongguo Mansion suddenly came over. As soon as they met, they knelt on both knees and congratulated me:
"Congratulations, Master Sun! Congratulations, Master Sun! Grace, it's really a great grace!"
"What grace?"
"The Queen Mother wants to personally act as a matchmaker for you!"
Toffee?
Sun Shaozong was stunned at first, then blurted out: "Could it be the Concubine Dowager Nan'an?"
"That's right! The Dowager Concubine hasn't left the palace for more than 20 years. It's unprecedented for our ancestor to celebrate his birthday today..."
The Concubine Nan'an is the biological mother of the current emperor. To be honest, she is probably more noble than the Empress Dowager Niu.
But she has always been low-key and rarely has any news left the palace.
Now that he has humbled himself and come to Rongguo Mansion in person to celebrate Lady Jia's birthday, it is probably not only because he loves her, but also shows his own attitude.
Easy storage!
She obviously supported the establishment of another crown prince, otherwise she would not have gone to Rongguo Mansion to celebrate the birthday at such a critical moment.
This is truly a heavy weight!
Could it be that the prince's situation is really over?
Then should I also...
"Second Master Sun? The Queen Mother is still waiting in our house. Do you think she is..."
After hearing the servant's hesitant reminder, Sun Shaozong finally calmed down and said seriously, "I dare not keep you waiting for long. Let me change into casual clothes and then I will leave."
The book does not elaborate.
But not long after, Sun Shaozong changed into casual clothes and drove straight to Rongguo Mansion.
Seeing that they were not far away, they heard the sound of gongs and drums in front. Sun Shaozong subconsciously lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. He saw a colorful bamboo archway rising from the ground. It was more than 20 feet high and more than 10 feet wide.
An unknown green vine, real or fake, coiled around the pillar and hung down countless flowers, fruits and melons. Before Sun Shaozong could identify their shapes, a strange fragrance wafted into his nose.
After passing through the colorful archway that soars into there is a bustling banquet with hundreds of tables. No matter who you are or what your status is, as long as you kneel outside the main gate of Rongguo Mansion and shout out happy birthday, you can sit down and enjoy the feast.
Earlier, the sounds of birthday celebrations were drowned out by the drums and music, but when they got closer, all one could hear were shouts rising one after another, filling the air with a roar that seemed to lift the gate tower of the Rongguo Mansion up a few inches.
This scene...
I’m afraid that she will spend all the private wealth that Wang Xifeng has accumulated?
"Jirang, but Jiro is here?!"
Sun Shaozong was watching in the car when he suddenly heard a tender and heart-wrenching call. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice. First his anus tightened, and then he couldn't help feeling weak in his heart.
