Chapter 190: Put Jia Yingchun on a Resale

At first glance, Sun Shaozong caught sight of the two men sneaking in front of the Prince's Residence. He quickly grabbed his Big Brother and walked over with a frown. Just when he was about to ask, Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian rushed to greet him.

"Second Brother!"

Feng Ziying smiled and asked, "Are you and Brother Shaozu going to visit the Prince?"

Liu Xianglian, beside him, was also full of hope.

"Yes."

Sun Shaozong said suspiciously, "But what are you two doing here?"

"To find someone!"

"Find an expert!"

It seemed that during Emperor Day, the largest theater in the Central Judicial Office also gathered together and invited famous actors from the Capital and Hebei to sing a big opera for three days.

How could these two miss such a busy event?

In those three days, both of them fell in love with an entertainer named Qi Guan.

"Second brother, his figure, posture, and voice are amazing! Especially the song "Silang Visits His Mother," in which his high notes were so..."

Liu Xianglian was so excited that he was about to sing in the street.

"Stop stop stop!"

Sun Shaozong hurriedly stopped him and said, "After all this talk, you guys still haven’t told me what you’re doing here."

"To find Qi Guan!"

Feng Ziying said in a crisp voice, "He is the main character of the royal theater. Where can we go and look for him other than here?"

Just for an entertainer, they ran stealthily to the gate of the royal residence.

It was also a shame that he didn't see Xue Pan, otherwise, Sun Shaozong must have thought that these two goods came out with Xue Pan!

At this time, his Big Brother suddenly stepped forward and said, "Is the person you guys were talking about Jiang Yuhan?"

"Big Brother Sun."

The two men hurriedly greeted first and then nodded like an old hen and said, "That's him. I heard that he’s called Jiang Yuhan!"

"Then leave now!"

Sun Shaozu, however, stared at them, shook his sleeve, and said, "That Jiang Yuhan is the lover of Prince Zhongshun. How many heads do you have that you dare to have this idea? Don't bring trouble to your family for the sake of this son of a bitch!"

Both Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian were a little angry when they heard the words, especially Liu Xianglian, whose red phoenix eyes rose to argue back.

"Big Brother."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly concluded, "Neither of them has bad conduct, they just like to listen to opera."

When their faces relaxed a little, he also turned his face and said in a low voice, "But the Prince was a Master that has no taboos. I think you'd better leave first and wait for me to have a look. If I have a chance, I will invite Jiang Yuhan home..."

His Big Brother frowned and said, "Erlang!"

"Don't worry, Big Brother."

Sun Shaozong laughed and said, "On the sixth day of the lunar calendar, I happened to meet Jia Qiang, who is in charge of the opera troupe in Ningguo Mansion. I want to ask him about the preparation of the opera troupe. Since the Prince can let him sing in the theater, what's the matter for him to come to our house to talk about it?"

His Big Brother becomes speechless.

Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian wanted to ask him to help them get in touch with Jiang Yuhan. They were overjoyed to hear that.

Liu Xianglian, in particular, hit his chest and boasted, "Second brother, if you want to prepare for the establishment of a theatrical troupe, I am the best at it. I will be counted first on the sixth day of the year!"

"And me, and me!"

Feng Ziying didn’t want to fall behind and shouted.

Sun Shaozong sighed helplessly, then waved his hand, and said, "Then why don't you hurry and get out of here! If I still happen to see you two when I come out, I wouldn't let you guys enter my door on the sixth day of the year!"

"Yes sir!"

The two men strangely arched their hands and then went off happily.

The two brothers of the Sun family then entered the Prince’s Residence.

Because they were invited, it was a smooth process.

When they arrived at the front hall, there was a big, soft couch in the middle of the two rows of grandmaster chairs, on which a middle-aged man in bright yellow clothes was leaning.

Needless to say, this must be Prince Zhongshun himself.

The two brothers hurried a few steps and greeted to the end, "Sun Shaozu [Sun Shaozong], Greetings to Your Highness."

Then Sun Shaozu said in great fear, "It's a sin for me to arrive late and let you wait."

In fact, it was still a long time before noon. How could they be late?

"Hmm."

Prince Zhongshun answered with a nonchalant voice. His lazy eyes turned around the two brothers and finally stopped at Sun Shaozong. He then said to his Big Brother, "Sun Shaozu, when you were fighting for the Commander in the past few months, it was my fault."

Sun Shaozu hurriedly bowed down and said, "I dare not, I am incompetent."

"What are you talking about? I can't use your silver in vain."

As the Prince said, he tapped his finger on the handrail, and immediately a eunuch came up with a document.

Sun Shaozu hurriedly took it in his hand and carefully unfolded it. It was a vote made by the Cabinet and the Ministry of Military Affairs to promote him to ”trial commander.” He would fill the vacancy immediately.

This was equivalent to enjoying the treatment of a three-grade Commander in advance, and he could fill the position immediately once there was a vacancy.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Sun Shaozu prostrated himself on the ground with tears in his eyes and said, "The title left by my father in the past, I have finally been worthy today. It's really... it's really..."

He said it as if he could not control his emotions. He banged his head three times and choked, "Thank you for your kindness!"

It really was a good acting skill!

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but give his Elder Brother tons of compliments. In addition to being slightly exaggerated, this level was not inferior to that of Jia Yucun, which was more in line with his reckless martial arts personality.

Sure enough, Prince Zhongshun was very satisfied with his Big Brother’s reaction.

The Prince even bent down and raised him in person, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged him, "What is this? As long as you are solid and do your job, you will live up to the expectations of Your Majesty and me, and you will certainly be able to sit in the position of the Commander of the city defense camp like your father!"

Sun Shaozu put on a look of gratitude again and said a few words of gratitude to Prince Zhongshun. The three people then sat down again.

"Your Highness, to tell you the truth, I’m here to ask for something this time."

After sitting down, Sun Shaozu saw that the atmosphere was just right, so he hurriedly told the Prince about Jia She's intention to repent after he had received the bride price.

"How could this happen?"

Prince Zhongshun was really interested. He leaned forward and asked with burning eyes, "What evidence do you have?"

"The existing documents are here, please have a look."

His Big Brother took out the note, and immediately the eunuch sent it to Prince Zhongshun.

Prince Zhongshun scanned it in a hurry and suddenly looked up and said, "Why don't I give you twenty thousand taels of silver? How about you transfer Jia She's daughter to me to become a maid in name but a concubine in reality?"

The two brothers of the Sun family suddenly became dumbfounded!
