The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 162 The New Year's Eve [Part [-]]

Jiao Shun originally wanted to hide by Xue Pan's side.

But when the banquet opened, he was still called by Jia Zheng, and they talked about the topic of 'Military and Han workers', which has been hotly discussed in the court recently.

But until now, Jia Zheng didn't even know that Jiao Shun was the instigator.

It wasn't that Jiao Shun wanted to hide it from him deliberately, it was because Jia Zheng was exhausted discussing the inspection team with others every day, so how could he have time to inquire about it?

It wasn't until the end of the new year was approaching and the preparatory work for the inspection team came to an end that he heard about this major event involving the three ministries of industry, military, and household.

Because listening to his ass, it was obviously placed on the side of the Ministry of Industry.

It was hard for Jiao Shun to tell the truth for a while, so he just laughed and said: "Although this matter is not good for the Ministry of Industry, it solves my nephew's urgent need - a few days ago I announced that I would write a letter to support General Shenwu's proposal, and the Ordnance Department I was so frightened that I didn't dare to take the initiative to provoke again."

Jia Zheng frowned slightly when he heard the words, straightened his figure slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You have clearly violated a taboo in the officialdom, even if Su Shilang appreciates you a lot, I'm afraid it will change in the future— —In comparison, it’s better to endure the calm for a while.”

Jiao Shun spread his hands with a wry smile: "If my nephew was born in the imperial examination, he would naturally be willing to avoid the edge for a while, but His Majesty specially ordered me to be promoted to the Ministry of Industry as an official, but I'm afraid that he may not expect me to be noble and honorable. "

This is the difference in vision between Jiao Shun and Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng only saw Jiao Shun acting like this, so he was suspected of cheating, and he would definitely offend his colleagues and superiors.

But Jiao Shun clearly realized that his foundation had always been anchored in the emperor.

Whether it was the initial decree to overthrow Jiao Shun and place them in the Ministry of Industry to disgust those diehards, or the generous rewards for Jiao Shun after he proposed the New Deal, it all showed the emperor Jiao Shun's position and expectation as a "spoiler".

With such holy intentions, why do you think that tolerance is high and precious in the Ministry of Industry...

Let's not talk about Jiao Shun's obedience, whether those civil servants who regard him as a different kind will sincerely accept his vote.

Just to live up to the emperor's expectation, the gain outweighs the loss!
This is also the biggest reason why Jiao Shun would rather "eat the inside out" and risk offending his colleagues and superiors than bow to the Ordnance Department.

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden commotion outside, but it turned out that it was Concubine Xiande from the palace who gave the New Year's gift.

Not long after the gift list was delivered to the flower hall, Jia She and Jia Zheng took a closer look. The first one was the old lady. Afterwards, Jia She and his wife, Jia Zheng and his wife both had favors, but when it came to the third generation, it was the first one. It was neither Jia Zhen, nor Baoyu and Jia Lian who were closer, but Jiao Shun was ranked first!

Others were amazed, but they didn't understand why.

But Jia Zheng remembered Jiao Shun's analysis just now, but immediately realized that this must be the affirmation and support of the emperor Jiao Shun breaking the old shackles of the Ministry of Industry!

Therefore, he valued Jiao Shun more and more.

in the evening.

Mother Jia rushed to the Ningguo Mansion, shouting and hugging, and babbling and babbling began to sing on the stage.

Those who can be invited to the concert by the Ningguo Mansion are naturally famous actors in the capital.

It's a pity that Jiao Shun is an ordinary person, and he really can't appreciate this quintessence of the country - but when he was having a drink in Ningguo Mansion a few days ago, the group dancer with thin spring clothes and high legs was quite to his liking.

After finally staying up until Haizheng [[-] o'clock in the evening], Mother Jia led a few children back to Rongguo Mansion first, and Jiao Shun also found an excuse at random, and quietly left the Dahua Hall.

He asked Xiangling for a package, and said that he would have a drink with Jia Zheng and others, and sent her home with Yu Chuan'er and Wu'er.

Then Jiao Shun took the package and wandered outside the big flower hall alone.

I remember that last year was also at this time, when I came out of the big flower hall, I bumped into Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Yang, and then...

Just as he was dreaming, he saw Mrs. You sent Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue out, and Jiao Shun quickly retreated to the side.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang stopped and called him over to ask about the previous gift, but what can he say?

"This……"

Jiao Shunqian said with a smile: "It's about what I did in the Ministry of Industry, and it has been passed on to the palace."

Mrs. Wang said to herself, "Sure enough", and said with a warm smile: "This is not only your own good luck, but also a happy event for our family! Now because of the matter of repairing the other courtyard, the family really can't spare manpower, and wait for things to be settled. Yes, I discussed it with Feng girl, and let your old lady go out, so that they can enjoy life in peace."

Aunt Xue also smiled and reminded: "Your mother and I have been together since we were young, and you will get closer to Wen Long in the future. At any rate, don't break this mother's lifelong friendship."

Jiao Shun responded with a thousand thanks.

After watching the group of people rushing away, he chose another place that was a little quieter.

Not long after, I saw You Shi leading Yin Die to the front, walking non-stop, but those autumn water-like eyes were staring at Jiao Shun without blinking, and then turned those two moderately thick cherry lips to the back garden. I have worked hard in the direction.

It was an appointment between the two of them.

Firstly, there are so many people here today, worrying about being bumped into by someone at home; secondly, Jiao Shunsu likes the wild, and always feels that there is something special about it.

Therefore, taking advantage of the holiday at the small construction site, the two entered the other courtyard one after the other.

But as soon as they stepped over the threshold, a tall and slender figure flashed from behind, but it was Li Wan who had been keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the two of them.

Watching Jiao Shun go west along the inner wall.

Li Wan was hesitating whether to follow up to find out, but suddenly someone behind him shouted: "Who is there? What are you doing?!"

Li Wan was startled suddenly, and when he looked back, he saw Third Sister You standing not far behind with a half-smile.

"Yo~ It turns out to be the grandma of Xifu."

Seeing Li Wan turn around, Third Sister You exaggeratedly called out, but Guazi didn't show any surprise on her face.

I saw her smile slightly, and said with a smile: "Although it is my elder sister's house, my younger sister seldom came here in the past, and she couldn't find a convenient place for a while——I happened to bump into my grandma, can I trouble you to bring me I come over?"

Li Wan is also a smart person.

This is not the reason why he got drunk and ran around, even if he couldn't find a convenient place for a while, he definitely didn't make a detour to such a remote place?

Immediately guessed that she probably wanted to help her sister cover up one or two things.

After pondering for a while, Li Wan gave up the idea of ​​following up forcefully, nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry about it, my sister will just follow me."

As he spoke, he led the way.

Third Sister You was not in a hurry to follow, but looked around the other courtyard with her head, murmuring a few names.

The intrigue between the two of them will not be mentioned later.

But Jiao Shun didn't know there was a "story" behind him, so he chased Youshi to the boiler room, and after two steps, he came to the same place.

Jiao Shun brought the masters and servants over one by one, rubbing his love like traveling across mountains and seas, and was about to recommend a familiar place, but he didn't want Youshi to point in the direction of Lixiangyuan first: "The Lixiangyuan is empty now, why not?" Just go over there..."

"It's not difficult to get in."

Jiao Shun objected with a laugh: "But in this way, wouldn't the wild fun of the sky and the ground be lost?"

As he said that, he showed the package in his hand to the two of them: "I brought a few charcoal stoves here, just find a place that can shelter from the wind."

You Shi secretly spat, but did not object to this ridiculous idea.

In fact, with Jia Zhen's unreasonable temperament, how could there be less things about the sky and the ground?
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, she suggested again: "There is a cave at the foot of the nearby rockery, which is quite suitable."

Jiao Shunyuan was also about to recommend this place, but she didn't want to be preempted by her again.

He was puzzled, but he pretended to be confused and asked, "I've seen that rockery before, but I didn't know there was a cave—by the way, how did you know?"

Youshi's passion for adultery is not as hot as that of Jiao Shun's house where the red flags are not falling down and the colorful flags are fluttering outside, so he is more eager than Jiao Shun.

He took his thick arm and led him to the cave, while softly talking about how he went to the cave to hide in the dust.

When she got to the cave, she pointed to the wall and said: "There are two orthographic characters written on it, one is complete, and the other is missing three strokes. I don't know who carved it and what it represents. mean."

Jiao Shun couldn't be clearer about this matter!
But he wouldn't explain anything to Youshi, so he shook off the burden immediately, and let Youshi and Yindie light a charcoal stove at the four corners.

He spread out the fur skin on the ground first, then took off the woolen cloak and used it as a mattress on it, and then put two hand stoves and foot stoves on top of each other, then he laughed and said: "Whoever wrote it , and when we get down to business, I'll make up a few strokes to make it neat and tidy!"

As he said that, he took off his boots and sat on the cloak, picked up Youshi and put it in his arms, and hooked the silver butterflies around his feet again.

Before the charcoal stove warmed the cave, the three of them had already become flesh worms connected end to end.

…………

The next morning.

You Shi, who stayed up until four o'clock in the morning before returning to his room to rest, slept with Yin Die until mid-morning before finally waking up.

While getting up to wash, he listened to the report from the little maid outside, saying that Third Sister You had come twice in the morning, and she returned to the guest house because she heard that his wife hadn't woken up yet.

Because she is a half-sister, she is usually not too close. Hearing that the third sister came twice in a row, Youshi thought that she had encountered some difficulties, and wanted to ask her elder sister for help.

So he hurriedly ordered someone to summon him in the guest courtyard.

Not long after, she was still dressing here, and Third Sister You rushed over in a hurry, and when she entered the door, she repelled Yindie and others.

Knowing that she has always been careless, You Shi didn't think it was strange. Facing the yellow decal on the mirror, he asked curiously: "You are in such a hurry to find me, could something be wrong at home?"

"There's nothing at home."

Third Sister You giggled, stretched out her hand to hook You Shi's collar, and while peeping inside, asked straight to the point: "But sister, did you go to meet your lover last night?"

Youshi was taken aback, quickly stood up and covered his collar, and asked with a downcast face, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's literally."

Seeing her get up, Third Sister You sat down on the embroidered cloth, put two scallion fingers into the dowry and fiddled with it, tsk-tsk: "It really is the wife of the Duke's mansion, my sister just pick a few here." Jewelry, I'm afraid they can all be used for the dowry of my second sister and me."

"You girl!"

You Shi shoved her on the shoulder and said angrily: "When you get married, there will be better ones waiting for you! Tell me quickly, what did you mean by that just now?"

"Yo~"

Third Sister You exaggeratedly tilted her body to one side, and said with a smile: "I helped my sister avoid a disaster yesterday, but my sister beat and scolded me like this. This kindness is really not rewarded!"

As he spoke, he picked up another bottle of nail polish and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes.

"My good sister!"

Youshi snatched it away, stuffed the bottle indiscriminately, and then forced it to Third Sister You: "Just take it back if you like it, and don't play tricks with your sister!"

"Why am I not a robber?"

Third Sister You put the nail polish back on the table, and said sternly: "My sister did such a thing, but she didn't know how to cover it up, so that the grandma of the Xifu saw her flaws and followed you here. The gate of the back garden—it was my mistake to stop it in time, I'm afraid I've ruined your good deed long ago!"

"She, she followed yesterday?!"

You Shi was shocked. If it was only Miss You's side, after all, it would be a relationship where one prospers and the other loses. I am not afraid that she will say nonsense outside. As for the family, this is what Jia Zhen agreed to, so naturally it is even more important. Don't worry.

But when it came to Li Wan, the nature of the matter changed.

Once she exposes this matter in the West Mansion, Jia Zhen will most likely choose to abandon the car to keep her handsome—not to mention that in Jia Zhen's heart, she may not have the weight of a "car".

She was in a panic here, she just wanted to find Jiao Shun for an idea as soon as possible.

Third Sister You didn't seem to understand the danger, so she asked with a smile, "Who is that good friend of my sister? Could it be the Second Master Lian from Xifu?"

Youshi was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Why do you say it's Jia Lian?"

"On the table, when it comes to talents, the second master Lian is the most important."

Third Sister You covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Sister steals someone behind her brother-in-law's back, so she won't pick someone worse than him?"

"You girl is really..."

Hearing that she even said the words of 'stealing people', but without any shyness or disdain, Youshi didn't know what to say for a while, and finally could only shake his head and deny: "It's not Jia Lian."

After a pause, he added: "Although Jia Lian was born handsome, he is afraid of his wife like a tiger, and only works hard on drinking and sex. How can he be called a man at such an age when he has achieved nothing?"

Third Sister You wondered: "Then according to my sister, how can I be considered a man?"

Youshi said without hesitation: "At least one must have the ambition to make contributions, and more importantly, must have the knowledge and skill to match it."

"Yeah~!"

Third Sister You exclaimed when she heard the words, covered her mouth and asked in disbelief: "Could it be possible that you are on good terms with my sister, but it's the political master of the West Mansion?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I have an affair with Mr. Zheng?!"

"Who the hell is that? Could it be that besides the political lord, there were serious officials who wanted to make progress at the table yesterday?"

At that time Jiao Shun was sitting next to Jia Zheng, but Third Sister You always only judged people by their color, so she treated him like nothing. Of course, she never thought that her sister would have an affair with such a reckless man.

Seeing that Mrs. You said it so "clearly and clearly", Third Sister You couldn't think of Jiao Shun, so she didn't know whether to be lucky or unhappy.

So he left her to fiddle with the jewelry in the room, went outside to find Yindie, and entrusted Yindie to ask Jiao Shun for a countermeasure.

…………

at the same time.

Li Wan hesitated for a long time, but still found the other courtyard, covered the inner wall and searched east - Youshi walked west from Ningguo Mansion yesterday, and went east from Rongguo Mansion.

When passing by the rockery, the two unfinished orthographic characters appeared in Li Wan's mind inexplicably, and subconsciously led Suyun to find it.

When they got to the cave, they found that the two orthographic characters on the wall were intact!
Looking at the remaining traces around, Li Wan still doesn't know what the word '正' means?
At the moment, he spat a few times, secretly cursing, it really is a shameless 'you'.

When she was hiding in the dust that day, she acted as if she had seen it for the first time, but she didn't notice anything strange, and even discussed the two words "positive" with her, now thinking about it, she is really ashamed and annoyed.

But Li Wan didn't intend to expose the matter.

He just wanted to persuade Youshi to rein in the cliff, so as not to follow in Qin Keqing's footsteps.

By the way, let's explore again, why Youshi chose not to choose those handsome brothers, but hooked up with Jiao Shun, a reckless man.

　After receiving the warning, the rain clouds in Henan really made a noise and came here.

　　I hope that it has been greatly weakened on the way. If there is a power outage and water supply, wouldn't my full attendance be lost?

　　Thanks to the book friends: I have read too many bad books, wxyuming, Lu Xiaosheng——for the rewards.
