The red building is so arrogant

chapter 112

In fact, Jia Baoyu was sent to the door by Jia Zheng, and made a special trip here to meet Jiao Shun.

Xiren and Qingwen were purely afraid that he would be brutal again and make Jiao Shun look bad in front of him, so they deliberately followed around.

But although Jia Baoyu was a little sullen, he hadn't gotten into a mess—mainly because he was afraid that Jia Zheng would find out.

Seeing that Jiao Shun had reached the bottom of the steps, he took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Jiao has finally arrived. While the master asked me to wait outside, he was urged to ask me several times."

Although the voice is less vivid than when talking to my sisters and sisters, this "big brother" is not forced.

When Gein used to address the powerful slaves in his daily life, he was called uncle and grandfather, so there was nothing embarrassing about calling him big brother.

Seeing that Baoyu did not clash with Jiao Shun, both Xiren and Qingwen heaved a sigh of relief, and followed down the steps at the same pace, but at this moment they retreated to the sides again.

Before they stood beside Baoyu, they didn't show much, but now they dodge twice, and they seem to be attracting virgins more and more.

Although Xiangling is also a good color, it is better than attacking people.

But Jiao Shunsu is a nasty man who can't help looking at Sichuan, he couldn't help but glance at him secretly, and at the same time he said with a smile: "How dare you welcome me."

Because it was outside the gate of Jia Zhengyuan, it was not easy for Jiao Shun to call him "Third Master" in person, so he used the slightly closer "Brother"—as for "Brother Bao", it was not easy to call him rashly.

Followed Jiao Shun and laughed again: "I came here because I changed clothes at home, but Mr. Zheng has been waiting for a long time."

Here Baoyu gave way, and they entered the courtyard side by side.

Seeing the manuscript rolled up in his hand, Baoyu's eyes suddenly brightened, and he asked anxiously, "Is it really here to discuss business matters? If there are important business matters, I can't just listen to them indiscriminately..."

As he said that, he looked at Jiao Shun with hope again, apparently wanting Jiao Shun to confirm what he said so that he could get away with it.

It's a pity that as soon as the words fell, someone from the lower corner opened his mouth and scolded: "What are you doing? Be careful, the master will clean you up again!"

It was Mrs. Wang who flashed out from the corridor, nodded to Jiao Shun through the railing, and said with a smile: "This child is really naughty, the master specially called him here today, and he also wanted to teach him to teach him, if it is really inconvenient to listen to him Yes, let the master drive him out again."

Hearing what her mother said, Baoyu let go of her energy immediately, and led Jiao Shun to the living room of the main room with her head drooping.

On the way, he whispered again with a bitter face: "Brother Jiao, please go in and don't make a long story short, otherwise if I don't remember clearly, I'm afraid there will be a physical disaster."

Jiao Shun glanced at him in surprise, feeling a little strange in his heart.

Since Gein became an official and Jia Zheng's favor, although the masters of the mansion showed a little more respect on the surface, they were still condescending in their hearts.

Only this Jia Baoyu, although he was a little moody outside the door, treated him with no arrogance.

But if you think about it carefully, this Baoyu doesn't have any respect or inferiority in ordinary days, but it's not just for him.

But Baoyu stepped on the cotton to the front of the living room as if he lost his muscles and bones all the way.

It wasn't until he saw Jia Zheng that he suddenly opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, straightened his spine and straightened his facial features, and reported respectfully and crisply: "Master, Brother Jiao Shi has arrived."

Jiao Shun also hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

Jia Zheng greeted with a smile, "Why is my nephew still so restrained? Sit down, sit down!"

When Jiao Shun was sitting at the top, he turned around and glanced at his son with his eyelids, and said coldly, "You can sit too."

Before Baoyu sat down obediently, he turned around and asked Jiao Shun with a smile: "Because you said you have serious matters to discuss, I thought that this evil obstacle is getting bigger now, and it's better to understand some worldly affairs and human relationships, so I specially called him over. ——I don’t know that he’s here, so what’s in the way?”

"No problem, no problem!"

Now that everyone has come, what else can Jiao Shun say?
Furthermore, the proposal he drafted had nothing to cover up, so he said "no problem" and handed the manuscript to Jia Zheng.

"Then I'll take a look."

Jia Zheng took it in his hand and couldn't wait to unfold it for a closer look.

Although Baoyu is the most impatient with these career and economic things, but now that he can't avoid it, he can't help but look curiously.

Seeing the crooked words on it, he couldn't help but give a 'puchi' smile, and immediately covered his mouth.

Jia Zheng gave him a displeased glance, and then turned his gaze back to the manuscript.

After three banquets and five invitations these days, he also knew that although Jiao Shun was born as his own servant, he really had some knowledge in his stomach.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have specially found Baoyu here, hoping to impress him.

Therefore, even though the writing was unsightly, he still had the patience to look at it carefully.

After reading it, I found that there was indeed some knowledge, so I went back and read it again.

After reading it carefully for the second time, Jia Zheng slowly put the manuscript on the table, patted it gently with his hands, and exclaimed in his mouth: "I was afraid that you are young after all, and this new official will inevitably be a bit aggressive when he takes office. , but now it seems that it is extremely appropriate!"

"I can't take the words of Mr. Zheng!"

Jiao Shun hurriedly made a modest resignation, and then said: "From what I've learned these days, because Xiyi has become more and more troublesome twice, and the southerners don't know when the fight will last, this Baigongsi is better than the ordnance that has just been dismantled. I was raised by a stepmother, and I am a handyman in the Baigong Division, and I have never been valued."

As he spoke, he spread his hands, and said with a wry smile: "I also want to make some big moves, but the higher-ups won't give money, and I don't have the right to change the regulations here, and the lower-level ones are waiting to be fed, so I can only sew and mend. Shall we keep the situation going?"

"It's more than that!"

But Jia Zheng waved his hands again and again: "Your method not only revitalizes the internal and external areas, but also has the merit of supervising and enlightening. It is much better than they have been busy for decades!"

uh~
There is also merit in enlightenment.

But Jiao Shun came up with this method mainly to promote the subjective initiative of the craftsmen without changing the original system and without increasing too much cost, and by the way, improve the quality of the craftsmen, so as to lay a foundation for the future.

Who would have thought that in Jia Zheng's view, this enlightenment is the first.

But that's good too, literati value the merit of enlightenment the most, if I use this as an excuse, it should be able to reduce a lot of resistance.

At this time, Jia Zheng handed the manuscript to Baoyu again, and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze, and you have to look carefully!"

Baoyu hurriedly took it in his hand respectfully, but the eyeballs did not fall upwards for a long time, but instead drifted straight to the door.

"Humph!"

It wasn't until Jia Zheng gave a cold snort that he tried his best to calm down and looked at the Chinese manuscript reluctantly.

Seeing that he finally put his heart into it, Jia Zheng discussed with Jiao Shun the advantages and disadvantages of this method, and how long it would take to see the effect.

Sure enough, as Jiao Shun expected, Jia Zheng found out the two shallow pits, but even though he searched his guts and got Jiao Shun's side-by-side reminders, he only filled in one.

But this is enough to keep Duke Zhou complacent.

Cuo Fei was worried about his reputation, and he didn't want to get involved with Jiao Shun in the yamen, so he agreed to write a joint letter with Jiao Shun.

In this regard, he has no regrets in his heart.

But after thinking about it again, if this method is favored by the Ministry in the future, Brother Shun's reputation will be changed because of it, and it will be the same when he comes out to 'claim' it.

So he sighed arbitrarily for being unrecognized for his talent, turned his head and scolded his son: "Nie Zhan, I haven't seen a word from you for a long time, could it be that you don't understand at all?!"

Jiao Shun used only vernacular, and he was afraid that there might be omissions, so he was extremely detailed, even if there were some things that didn't make sense, how could he not understand at all?
He did this just to show the majesty of being a father, if Baoyu really dared to interject rashly, he might be punished even more severely.

Baoyu also knew that there was absolutely no way to argue at this time, so he hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "Brother Jiao Shi is a great talent, my son wants to remember it better, so I read it twice more."

"Then have you remembered it?"

Before Baoyu could respond, Jia Zheng ordered again, "Quickly recite it and let me listen."

Jia Baoyu showed a distressed face, but he just recited these three or four thousand words from beginning to end. Although there were some omissions, they were roughly the same.

Thanks to this short time, he was half-hearted, and he was able to remember so many words!
I've heard many people say that although he doesn't want to study, he is actually smart, and now Jiao Shun has seen the truth.

So I sincerely praised a few words.

Jia Zheng kept saying that his son was 'not a good man', but his face was full of complacency.

Yin explained again: "Since you know Brother Shun is a great talent, you will walk around and get close to him more in the future. Wouldn't it be better to hang out with your sisters?"

Baoyu's eyes were full of bitterness, but he could only respectfully respond.

Immediately, he remembered that when he went to Jiao's house, he would be able to see Xiang Ling after a long absence, so he recovered a little.

With Baoyu present, Jia Zheng would not drink too much, so today's party is earlier than a few days ago.

Jiao Shun rolled up the manuscript and said goodbye. Seeing Yu Chuan'er's face was quite smug, he knew that he must have shown off in front of Qingwen and Xiren again.

But I'm too lazy to ask more questions.

He ordered her to light the lantern and went to the back door of the inner courtyard.

I bumped into two night watchmen on the road, and thought of Mrs. Yang again. She has given birth for more than ten days now, and she doesn't know if she will be able to see her child by the end of the month.

Just as he was thinking, there was suddenly a young woman blocking his way with a smile on his face.

　Thanks to the book friends: the loyal book friend angel, the northern black bear, the tiger who can read and play with water - for the rewards.
