The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 107 Small Banquet
[Third update, added. 】

Hearing that Jia Zheng had invited him to a banquet, Jiao Shun showed a strange expression on his face.

It wasn't that he thought there was something wrong with Jia Zheng's treat, but he suddenly remembered the errand of Duke Cun Zhou who worked in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

Because Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang asked people to help collect the 'official talisman', and Jia Zheng's situation was deliberately concealed.

Therefore, it wasn't until today that he took up his post and made rounds of inquiries in the yamen, only then did he know that this Duke Cunzhou was in charge of the cemetery in the Tuntian Qingli Department!
Of course, what he is in charge of is not the cemeteries of ordinary people, but the size of the tombs of civil and military officials, the style of steles, the number of people who visit the tombs, and the value of burials, etc.

It's no wonder that his colleagues keep him at a respectful distance - who would want to touch this brow in leisure time?

But it will be difficult for Jiao Shun to avoid him in the future.

Fortunately, he didn't shy away from this. Originally, he planned to go to the banquet after changing into his regular clothes, but after thinking about it again, it was more sincere to show his sincerity in such a busy past.

As for being rude, it was a rule among literati. It seemed that there was no need to deliberately care about the relationship between me and the Rongguo Mansion.

So he explained to his family and hurried to the inner courtyard of the main house with Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er sisters.

When they arrived in the courtyard, Jiao Shun went to the table without mentioning it, but said that the two sisters, Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er, did not need to attend the banquet, so they found a place to carry people and whispered to each other.

Now Yu Chuan'er is all focused on Jiao Shun, and she has nothing to hide from her own sister, so she has been favored for many days, but suffers from menstruation, so Xiang Ling takes the opportunity to "steal her love" The experience is described with embellishment.

There are a lot of things that can be said but not written. Jin Chuaner, who listened directly, blushed and had a lot of daydreams.

Because I also heard from Yu Chuan'er that she has been secretly practicing prostitution recently, and plans to regain lost ground in one fell swoop tonight.

Jin Chuan'er persuaded her younger sister, "It may not be appropriate to always be so obsessed with obsession, and according to what you said, that Xiangling was just taken away by Uncle Jiao, and now is the time when it is fresh and eager. Insert a vat horizontally, but I am afraid that things will backfire."

Yu Chuan'er was a little disappointed when she heard this, and asked in a muffled voice: "Then what should I do according to my sister's wishes?"

"In my opinion, you might as well show your magnanimity first, revealing it to your uncle overtly and secretly, and then take the opportunity to invite favors before it's too late."

As Jin Chuaner said, seeing her sister's expression of disapproval, she hurriedly used Mrs. Wang as an example: "Our wife is like this. The husband and wife have only been in harmony for decades."

But Yu Chuan'er said in his heart: That's just harmony, it's far less loving and lingering with Aunt Zhao!
Then he said to his sister: "She is a wife, but how can I learn it?"

"Look at how promising you are!"

Jin Chuan'er shoved her resentfully, and said angrily: "If you always think this way, then you will be an aunt at most in this life—the Jiayu Village that was linked to the mansion before, have you ever heard about it?"

Seeing Yu Chuan'er shaking her head, she said in detail: "He was originally a prisoner who was demoted. Later, because he climbed into our mansion, he was recommended to Jinling as a magistrate. In order to protect the capital, I will be transferred to Shuntian Mansion's Prime Minister again."

After briefly introducing Jia Yucun's identity and background, she changed the subject and got to the point: "A few days ago I heard that his current wife was originally a servant girl, but was later asked to be a concubine by the master of Yucun. The old lady is dead, but she was promoted to be the magistrate's wife, and she was rewarded by imperial orders!"

Jin Chuan'er couldn't help but shine his eyes as he spoke, his face was full of anticipation and longing for his wife to get promoted and get rich.

Of course, this is in front of her own sister, in front of others, she dare not show any clues.

Yu Chuan'er was also greatly encouraged. Since Jia Yucun was promoted repeatedly by virtue of the Rongguo Mansion and Wang Taiwei, could it be that his father's relationship with the Jia and Wang families was far away?

When my uncle is promoted, if I can do the same thing and be the magistrate's wife and imperial wife for a few years, it will be worth dying!

Originally, because his body was clean, he wanted to regain the lost ground in one fell swoop, but now his mind was shaken, but he hesitated to put on some 'big woman' demeanor?

"Jin Chuan'er, Yu Chuan'er?"

The two sisters were fantasizing about themselves, but they heard Caixia calling in the courtyard. After following the sound, they went out to ask, and it was Mrs. Wang who called.

Naturally, they didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed Caixia to the pavilion on the east side.

There is a stone table here, obliquely facing the direction of the living room, it can not only see the situation in the living room clearly, but also hide its whereabouts in the dark, which is the most convenient for prying eyes.

At this time, looking around in the pavilion, I saw Jia Zheng and Jiao Shun pushing cups and changing cups, looking very enthusiastic.

Seeing Yu Chuan'er approaching, Mrs. Wang pointed to the hall and said, "Even the few clearing guests that the master personally recruited have never attracted the master so much—I was worried that the master would not be able to turn the corner before, but now I see It’s too much to worry about.”

As she said that, she complained half-truthfully: "It's said that the married daughter threw the water, but it's not like you who are still in the mansion, but still can't see anyone."

Yu Chuan'er's knees went limp from being frightened, she hastily turned over and knelt down and confessed her crimes repeatedly.

"Get up, get up!"

Mrs. Wang gave her support in her hands, and waited for Caixia to lift Yu Chuan'er up, then she smiled kindly and said: "I never blamed you, but since you came out here from me, you shouldn't break up with each other in the future, whether it's along the way or not." Brother, if you are short or something, or if you encounter any difficulties, just come back and talk."

This is clearly a good intention, but it is actually implying that Yu Chuan'er acts as eyes and ears.

Yu Chuan'er complied respectfully, but she said in her heart that she had a great future in Jiao's family, and she would definitely not reveal to Mrs. Wang anything that was detrimental to the family.

but……

If there is some innocuous news, you might as well come to Mrs. Wang to sell it, so that you can get a lot of help from Austrian aid.

…………

Let's talk about the living room.

Although he didn't have much skill, Jia Zheng was drunk and reckless.

For so many years, Gein has been suffocating his thoughts and has nowhere to confide.

It's not easy for him to express his dirty thoughts in front of his colleagues outside, but he doesn't bother to express his thoughts in front of the women, children and servants at home.

That's what Jiao Shun is like now, who is neither high nor low, and who happens to be an official in the same government as him, so he is just right for him to give advice and pour out bitterness.

However, Jiao Shun had been in business for more than ten years in his previous life, and his other skills were not bad, but he was most familiar with the things of cheering at the wine table and talking heart-to-heart at the party!

Jia Zheng was coaxed into delight by only using seven or eight decomposed numbers. After drinking two pots of wine, even a few nasty jokes came out.

I don't know if the person who is so vivid has tried his tricks on Mrs. Wang, or tested his depth with Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou.

But objectively speaking, the dragon-slaying techniques that Jia Zheng conceived are not entirely worthless. After all, he has been an official in the Ministry of Industry for a long time. Although he just watched with a cold eye for the past twenty years, he has somehow realized some tricks.

But this person wants to save face and suffer, and lacks the determination to break the boat, not to mention it's just superficial, even if he really understands the dragon slaying technique, it's probably useless.
