Although the misunderstanding has been solved, Cheng Rixing doesn't know Daiyu's preferences. Even those Young Masters and Ladies in Jia's Mansion may not know Lin Daiyu's hobbies other than reading and writing.

But it's not appropriate to give the four stationery treasures of the Chinese study for a little girl's birthday, isn't it?

Besides, the four treasures of study used in the Rongguo Mansion are already the best that was chosen from thousands of choices. What he buys outside may not be comparable.

Finally, Sun Shaozong together with Ruan Rong simply took out more than 200 silver money, welded 99 gold leaves, and penetrated half a meter of gold wire into a tree branch, with its meaning of “Longevity”.

Although it seems tacky to send gold directly, this thing can not only look at festivity but also be used for emergencies or rewarding people in ordinary times. It’s the most sustainable gift.

Since he made up his mind, the specific things naturally will leave it to his steward to make arrangements. Sun Shaozong also became a person who dumps the responsibility on another and only spends time in the government office every day.

Just like that, about three or four days passed.

This morning, Sun Shaozong was reviewing a case in which a brother fought for property and killed his nephew by mistake. He heard that there was a riot of war outside. He then saw Zhou Da rushing in and shouting happily, "Master, there are several emissaries outside, probably to call you into The Palace to meet The Emperor!"

Jia Yucun had said it right!

Sun Shaozong put down the file and stretched himself first. He then hurried to the lobby in front of him.

To tell the truth, he was not interested in The Emperor's summons. Kneeling around, is it fun?

However, Jia Yucun is different. He waited and waited all day. He doesn't know how much preparatory work he has done these days. He even draws the whole case-solving process together with various pieces of evidence into a vivid atlas, which looks like a comic book.

Now, he is satisfied as he wishes!

He was thinking about how to tease Jia Yucun after arriving at the lobby. But suddenly, he saw several people standing in the two-door corridor. The leader’s face was as heavy as water and his beard trembled, but who else could it be if it wasn't Jia Yucun?

“What's the matter?”

Being puzzled, Sun Shaozong hurried forward and said with a smile, "Prefectural Magistrate, why haven’t you received the order in front, who are you being angry with here?"

"Hum!"

Unexpectedly, Jia Yucun saw that it was him who came forward and accosted, but he snorted coldly and brushed his sleeve, "Why ask as if you don’t know the answer, Assistant Prefectural Magistrate?"

With that, without looking at Sun Shaozong, he led his entourage away.

“Damn! What the heck is wrong with him?! Didn't he still adorably address each other with brothers earlier today? How can he change his face in this blink of an eye?!”

Sun Shaozong was puzzled, and he saw two factotums around in the lobby in front of him. Seeing him here from a distance, they hurried over.

Before they got close, they couldn't wait to shout, "Great joy, Master Sun, there is an order for you to enter The Palace immediately. I heard that even the Supreme Emperor is waiting to hear you talk about the case!"

“Even the Supreme Emperor got involved? The noble people in The Palace are really idle… Wait!”

Sun Shaozong thought of something, hurried to meet them, and asked, "Did the order summon others into The Palace beside me?"

The two factotums shook their heads together, "You're the only one. There's no one else!"

“Sure enough!”

How much Jia Yucun sees about this matter, Sun Shaozong can't be clearer!

Especially the “comic strip” made by him has been widely spread in the Central Judicial Office. The Imperial Edict has arrived, but only Sun Shaozong has been summoned. Where will Jia Yucun put his face?

No one can be happy about this, not to mention Jia Yucun, who is very utilitarian and thinks highly of himself.

No wonder he has such an attitude!

Having figured out the cause and effect, Sun Shaozong couldn't help scolding the father and son of the Guangde Emperor in his heart. They should either summon them together or call none of them. What's the matter with summoning himself alone? Doesn't it mean to force Jia Yucun to turn against him?!

He is especially planning to seize power, taking the advantage of this opportunity to take over that Minister of the Department Liu’s power. Now, if he got into bad terms with Jia Yucun, let alone seizing power, it will be good enough to be able to protect himself behind closed doors!

Sun Shaozong went to the lobby in a depressed mood and saw several Imperial Guards surrounding a middle-aged eunuch, chatting with Governor Han.

"Shaozong, you're just in time!"

Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from the outside, Han Anbang immediately came forward, affectionately grabbed Sun Shaozong's wrist, led him to the middle-aged eunuch, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Dai, this is the famous “Divine Judgement Assistant Prefectural Magistrate Sun” in our office, and he case of Vice-President Ge is cracked by him alone!"

“Damn~”

Officialdom is like a drama. It all depends on acting!

If he takes the black face of Jia Yucun earlier on and compares it with Han Anbang's enthusiasm at this time, who can see that Jia Yucun is Sun Shaozong's backer, and Han Anbang is Sun Shaozong's biggest enemy?

If he was a real novice in officialdom, he must have thought that Han Anbang was trying to win over himself.

But how meticulous Sun Shaozong's mind is?

After thinking about it, he understood that the most important thing in Han Anbang's words is the word "Cracked the case alone". This is clearly to completely erase the credit of Jia Yucun and further split the "Sun-Jia" alliance!

Those who can get into the red robe with their abilities are not easy characters!

Sun Shaozong thought, but his mouth was busy and modest, "You have over-praised, Governor. What can I do alone? It's all with the help of the Prefectural Magistrate..."

He doesn't want to be on bad terms with Jia Yucun now, so he plans to make up for it.

But how is Han Anbang willing to let him show his merits to Jia Yucun?

He hurriedly interrupted Sun Shaozong, and said loudly, "Assistant Prefectural Magistrate Sun, come and meet Eunuch Dai, the supervisor of the Ming Palace."

What a watertight move!

Sun Shaozong was helpless. When he was just about to meet Eunuch Dai, unexpectedly, the middle-aged eunuch waved his hand and said, "Don't have to be so polite. Technically, we're not outsiders. Don't you still have an official position as a Lieutenant of the Imperial Guard? I happened to also be the Commander of the Imperial Guard, your immediate supervisor!"

Hearing this, Sun Shaozong hurriedly knelt and saluted, "Greetings, Commander!"

"Haha... He is really smart!"

Dai Quan saw that what he did was a military salute. He immediately smiled and pretended to be forthright, "If I have time to host a feast to invite the brothers of the Imperial Guards for a get-together, you can't refuse when it’s time."

Sun Shaozong naturally responded with a mouthful of courtesy words.

Dai Quan then ordered Sun Shaozong to kneel firmly in front of the incense table and read out the Imperial Edict in cadence. He then put on a smiling face again and said, "Come with me. The Emperor and the Supreme Emperor are waiting for you in The Palace."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly stood up and ordered someone to lead his mount to the front. He was then ready to enter The Palace with Dai Quan, but he saw two subordinate officials of the Prefectural Magistrate rushing to him in a hurry.

When they came near, he saw that the two officials presented several scrolls and a book with their hands. It was the “comic strips” and other things prepared by Jia Yucun for the meeting with The Emperor face these days.

He only listened to the official who said, "Assistant Prefectural Magistrate Sun, Prefectural Magistrate Jia said that he was in a hurry just now because of official business, and he forgot to give these things to you. Please don't be offended."

Tch~

Jia Yucun didn’t give it for free!

He was unexpectedly able to control his emotions so quickly. He not only sent someone to mediate the situation immediately but also intended to show some sense of existence with the help of these “comic strips”!

However…

According to Sun Shaozong's understanding of him, he should have delivered the things himself if he didn't still hold a grudge. It seems that after this incident, they can't be as close as before.
