The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 163: Gourd Baby Saves Grandpa
Jiao Shun also slept until the sun was high before getting out of bed.

Yu Chuan'er held the new clothes from the heating rack, and asked Jiao Shun if he wanted to make up for it first, or simply ordered the stove to bring forward lunch.

"Let's simply make up for it first."

Yawning, Jiao Shun put his hands out of his sleeves, took advantage of the opportunity to weigh the tip of Xiangling's heart, and said casually: "Is there any leftover pot of 'Yang' jujube pastry that I steamed earlier? If so, Get two of them from the stove."

"Of course there are."

Yu Chuan'er greeted Jiao Shun with her body, and flattened her mouth and said, "I don't know where I got the goat milk, but it has a strange smell. Except for your own use, no one in the family loves it." food."

"It's the best 'Yang' milk, the most nourishing kind."

Jiao Shun smiled and pinched her, and ordered Xiangling to prepare the four treasures of the study. This year, there is always a need to settle the accounts. It just so happens that he is free again today, so he is ready to match production and sales.

Xiangling's daily expenses have already been recorded in Xiangling's account - although many of them have not been marked for use - it is not difficult to take stock.

It only took him half an hour to calculate all the expenses and income since September [before September, he was the head of Laiwang].

Before September, the Jiao family's total assets were around 4000 taels [including the 3000 taels deposited with Wang Xifeng], but now the floating wealth has broken through 1 taels.

On the surface, the family had a net income of 6000 taels in just four months.

But after careful calculation, the biggest income in these four months is actually the 5000 taels of silver that the Lai family has successively repaid.

This amount of money obviously cannot be counted in the routine, and it is not repeatable.

If we take away the 700 taels rewarded by the emperor [another hundred and ten taels was rewarded in the name of Yuanchun yesterday] and the 700 taels of silver for selling fans, the overall income will be beyond our means.

The main reason is that Jiao Shun has been used to being extravagant recently, and out of the nearly 3000 taels of expenses, more than 2000 taels were scattered by him casually.

This is just living a life of extravagance, so throttling is definitely not possible!
Then we can only open source ideas.

The first thing Jiao Shun thought of was the method Jia Lian had mentioned.

Taking advantage of the upsurge of concubines visiting relatives, large-scale construction projects are being carried out everywhere in the capital, and construction materials are rising again and again.

If you use the local network where the handyman is located, you can collect a batch of good timber from the south, avoid the exploitation along the way and transport it to the capital for sale, it will definitely be a good deal with huge profits.

Of course, in terms of specific operations, you must not be as blatantly eager for quick success as Jia Lian said. You must think of a safe way, even if you earn less money, you must push a shield and stare in front.

Speaking of this shield, it is also ready-made.

According to the news that Jiao Shun inquired recently, the envoys from the Uxi Kingdom had already arrived in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the imperial court also sent a prince to make contact with them, obviously in an attempt to negotiate peace.

After the formal truce between the two sides, according to the rules, a group of meritorious soldiers should be selected to go to Beijing to show victory. If you can connect with these people, it would be the cheapest to ask them to escort you along the way.

There are also ready-made channels for matchmaking.

General Shenwu's letter for the welfare of disabled soldiers must have spread to the south by now. By showing his identity as the "initiator" through him, those Qiu Bazong should also give some face.

What's more, I didn't use them in vain. At that time, General Shenwu and these Qiuba will be recruited to contribute together. The subordinates of the handyman's office will be responsible for providing the supply of goods, and then entrust the Xue family to help sell them outside.

This is a one-stop production and marketing, so why not worry about the money? !
Jiao Shun triumphantly set the tone, and pressed Xiang Ling on the desk on a whim.

Don't want to just pull off the sweat towel around the waist, and Yu Chuan'er from outside came in through the curtain. Seeing this scene, she pursed her lips and said sourly: "Yesterday, my uncle said that he is very tired recently!"

In the middle of the conversation, Jiao Shun had already pulled him to the front.

"useless!"

Yu Chuaner hurriedly struggled and said, "Master Dongfu Zhen sent Yindie over, saying that she has something important to discuss with you!"

Jia Zhen sent Yindie over?

Jiao Shun was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that it must be You Shi who named Jia Zhen.

At that moment, he could only tidy up his clothes, and pretended to be impatient, and told the two daughters: "Stay here and lie down obediently, and come back to clean up your two little hooves when the master dismisses her!"

When I got outside, I saw Wu'er was entertaining Yindie.

By the way, Jiao ordered: "Okay, you don't need to wait here, you go to the stove to remind them to prepare their lunch early."

Wu'er hurriedly responded respectfully, and bowed his head out of the East Chamber.

"uncle!"

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Yindie stepped forward a few steps, pulled Jiao Shun's cuff and said in a panic: "It's amazing! Yesterday's incident was broken by the grandma of the house, our wife is anxious It’s like urging me to come over and ask you for advice!”

Got smashed by Li Wan? !
Jiao Shun was taken aback, and hurriedly asked what happened.

When he learned that there was a story about Third Sister You in it, he felt more and more headaches—although he liked Third Sister You's fierce and straightforward, but he was also afraid that she would let her slip.

Jiao Shun breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Third Sister You hadn't confirmed the identity of the 'adulter', and didn't even think about him at all.

I don't know if Li Wan has confirmed his identity.

if so……

Jiao Shun's first thought was to tell You Shi's master and servant to refuse to admit it to death.

But after thinking about it again, if Li Wan had already guessed his head, unless he cut off contact with You Shi, he would inevitably be caught by her in the future.

Breaking off the relationship at this point is definitely not going to work.

Even if Jiao Shun is willing, Youshi may not be willing; even if Youshi is willing to agree, Jia Zhen may not be willing to let herself go.

After much deliberation, Jiao Shun gritted his teeth and wrote a letter in the inner room, then came back and said to Yin Die: "If grandma Zhu brought up this matter on her own initiative, let your grandma test it out and see how much she knows—if it is true It broke the matter of the few of us, so you might as well explain it clearly to her!"

"This, how to make this happen?!"

Yindie was taken aback, and said anxiously: "She may not have any real evidence now, if the wife confesses in person, wouldn't it be self-inflicted?!"

"rest assured."

Jiao Shun raised his hand and pressed it down, and said solemnly: "Although it was a private exchange, it was Jia Zhen's initiative to facilitate it after all. Besides, she has never been a meddlesome person. If she finds out about the matter, she will probably keep it quiet—and Exposing the matter at this time, apart from offending us, what good will it do her?"

After a pause, he continued: "Now I'm actually worried that if she refuses to speak out, then the two sides will be suspicious of each other, and if they don't keep things together, something will happen."

As he spoke, he handed the letter to Yindie and told her that if Li Wan hadn't come to the door in the evening, she would deliver the letter to Li Wan early in the morning.

Then he explained: "Let your wife open this letter and read it first. If Grandma Zhu comes to the door on her own initiative, tell her what happened above."

Although Yindie was still a little apprehensive, she didn't question Jiao Shun's decision, she took the letter with care, bid farewell to Jiao Shun and returned to Ningguo Mansion.

Watching her out of the courtyard, Jiao Shun turned back to the room, but the two little girls were obediently lying on the table and staring wide-eyed, and they didn't even put on the loose sweat towel around their waists.

tsk~
Seeing this, Jiao Shun couldn't help feeling emotional: This is the evil and decadent old society, if left in later generations, these actions of his are probably enough to be shot for 5 minutes.

Although I am a little sorry for Xia Taizu who crossed first.

But Jiao Shun, who is shameless and dishonest, is becoming more and more considerate of the choices made by the four kings and eight lords back then.

…………

Ningguo Mansion.

After hearing Yindie's reply, Youshi was a little hard to accept for a while.

All she could think about was how to cover up the past, who would have thought that Jiao Shun would let her expose the matter in front of Li Wan!

With a bitter face, he scolded 'enemy' a few times, and You Shi asked for the letter again to read it carefully, but found that it didn't mention their personal relationship at all, but instead talked about Jia Lan's admission to school.

It was only then that You Shi realized that Jiao Shun had something to do with Li Wan secretly.

Because she knew that what Li Wan valued most was her son's academic future, with this "benevolence" in front of her, she was somewhat confident.

However, in Youshi's view, sending this letter directly to Li Wan, with mutual understanding, would it be better than 'confessing' in person?
But Jiao Shun has something to say after all, she has been trusting him in every possible way recently, and she dare not change Jiao Shun's decision indiscriminately.

So he prayed to the gods and worshiped Buddha, hoping that Li Wan would not come, and that he could have Yindie send the letter as a hint tomorrow morning.

But how can there be so many gods and Buddhas willing to help adulterers and prostitutes?
Just after noon, Youshi got a report that Grandma Zhu from Xifu came to visit.

Youshi secretly complained, but he could only bite the bullet, welcomed Li Wan into the main room, and ordered Yindie to guard the door.

Originally, according to Li Wan's temperament, if this kind of thing happened to him, he would only be bored in his heart, and would never take the initiative to come to the door to confront him.

The reason why they came to her now is actually because she was tracked down by Third Sister You yesterday. If she didn't communicate with her face to face, she was afraid that the adulterer and prostitute would plot against her mother and child in order to protect herself.

Seeing this private battle at this time, Li Wan knew that Third Sister You must have told Mrs. You about what happened yesterday, so she was less taboo.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, I put on a straight face and said, "Sister-in-law must be aware of my reason for coming—although I didn't know the details about Brother Rong's daughter-in-law back then, I also heard some gossip. .”

"Since you are her mother-in-law, and you are guarding her all day long, you naturally know the cause and effect better than me. With this lesson learned from the past, my sister-in-law should be more strict in guarding the door, but how can she do that stupid thing again?!"

After You Shi heard this, the forced smile on his face ebbed immediately. After hesitating again and again, he tried to follow Jiao Shun's instructions: "My sister knows who he is?"

This rhetorical question exceeded Li Wan's expectations.

She originally thought that today was going to be a battle of wits - she didn't dare to expose her face, and You Shi never dared to admit adultery.

So before coming here, even though she had written a lot of manuscripts, she hadn't said such straightforward words!
After being stunned for a while, Li Wan nodded slightly, and said half-truthfully, "I only did it last night... I never thought it was him before!"

Although neither of them said it clearly, they both understood who the "he" was in the other's mouth.

Youshi's heart skipped a beat, he suppressed his fear and panic, and said with a wry smile: "Now that the matter is up to now, I simply don't hide it from my sister - the reason for this matter is that he held a deadly handle in the family. , your big brother Zhen was afraid that he would speak nonsense, so you just..."

As she spoke, she covered most of her oval face with a veil, and sobbed sadly: "The cruel thief actually used me as a bridle, saying that he wanted to cover Jiao Shun's mouth so that he would not dare to bring up the matter again."

When Li Wan heard this, he was already dumbfounded and dizzy!
Because she knew that Jia Zhen had always neglected Youshi, she always thought that Youshi was unwilling to be lonely, so she hooked up with Jiao Shun.

But how could one imagine that there is such an absurd twist in it? !

Then she clenched her silver teeth, stared at Youshi and asked, "So, sister-in-law is just forced to help, but she doesn't have any friendship with that person?"

"This……"

If you nod your head and admit it, you will naturally be able to clean yourself up.

But Youshi was in the middle of a passionate love affair, but he was unwilling to describe the relationship between the two as a forced and helpless transaction.

After hesitating for a while, he covered his face and said in shame: "Although I was forced to do nothing, but I agree with him—if I wasn't afraid of hurting him, I'm afraid I would have thought of remarrying!"

In the second half of the sentence, he said it firmly.

Only now did Li Wan believe [-]% of it.

At that time, she could see Youshi's affectionate appearance, if Youshi claimed to have no other choice, she would suspect that Youshi was deceiving herself.

Now that the words have come to this point, Li Wan couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart: "Why is this? Don't say that compared with Brother Lian and Brother Bao in our family, Brother Qiang and Rong ...Isn't that one ten or a hundred times stronger than him in terms of appearance?"

Hearing this, Youshi sneered, and blurted out: "You are also the master who has seen it before, and you are not a little girl who is waiting to be married, but why do you still judge people by their appearance? What is so good about this embroidered pillow, how can it be worth it... "

After speaking most of the time, he hurriedly stopped.

But Li Wan had already realized the "true meaning" in it, and his face was like a red cloth with shame, and he spat: "I just pretend I didn't hear your nonsense, and I dare not say it again in the future!"

Youshi also couldn't stop laughing, and was afraid that she would regard him as a greedy and promiscuous woman, so he hurriedly said: "I really want him to know how to hurt others, and he is very considerate when he knows the cold and the hot!"

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered the letter, and hurriedly took it as evidence and handed it to Li Wan: "Don't talk about me, even the things you entrusted, he is doing his best!"

Li Wan took it over and looked at the ten lines at a glance, and was overjoyed immediately.

Recently, this is what she's thinking about the most every day, but it's hard to push Jiao Shun. Seeing that it's the end of the year, Li Wan doesn't even give up hope, but Jiao Shun gave her another big surprise.

Although Jia Zheng did not respond to the matter on the spot.

But according to Li Wan's understanding of this father-in-law, as long as Jiao Shun continues to persuade, the matter is [-]% sure!
Seeing Li Wan like this, You Shi felt a little relieved, but he was still a little nervous after all.

Seeing Xiafei's double frequency that she was happy for a while, a thought suddenly popped up in her heart.

There is no 'master' around her, so why don't you try to pull her into the water, so that you can get it done once and for all?
As for how to act...
