The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 167 Sisters Reunite Rich and Idlers
Hearing that Yingchun was going to move back to the second room, Daiyu, Tanchun and Xichun had been waiting in front of the courtyard early.

Seeing the figure that he hadn't seen for a long time came into view, Tan Chun took the first step to greet him, grabbed Ying Chun's sleeve and said emotionally: "Second sister, you are back!"

In terms of background and age, the two sisters can be said to be almost the same, so Tanchun can best empathize with Yingchun's situation.

While talking, Tanchun sighed again when he saw the Supreme Induction Sutra held by his second sister.

The eldest wife is unkind to her mother, and the second elder sister is a taciturn person who doesn't know how to please the elders, so she can only rely on these deceptive things to talk about comfort?
But empathy belongs to empathy, and Tanchun will not let herself fall into such a predicament.

While pulling Yingchun to ask for warmth, she became more and more determined to get close to Mrs. Wang.

At this time, Lin Daiyu and Xichun also greeted her, and said with a smile: "During the Chinese New Year, I just want to see my sister, and I don't want my aunt to say that you are unwell."

As she said that, she looked at Yingchun up and down, and seeing her plump and rosy skin, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing: "I thought my sister must have lost weight, but I didn't want her to become richer. No matter how much I go on, I'm going to beat Sister Bao .”

"What did the hairpin say about me?"

As soon as the words fell, Xue Baochai's voice came from behind, and she hurried up, took Yingchun's bright wrist and said: "God, I'm sorry, it's good that my sister comes back, and it won't save us from worrying about it every day!"

As he spoke, he looked left and right and asked strangely: "Where is Brother Bao? He mentioned the second sister repeatedly before, but now that the second sister comes back, why is there no sign of him?"

Just as Tanchun was about to answer, Lin Daiyu rushed to say, "Didn't my sister see Baoyu at noon, and I think about him every day, so I won't be talking about him so soon."

Hearing her sour words, Tan Chun hurriedly explained: "Isn't the master going to leave the capital to do business? Recently, I often call my brother to teach me by ear, and I heard that I have to hand over my brother to Jiao Shun to take care of him!"

Daiyu pursed her slightly thin lips when she heard the words, and sneered: "How can a person who has never been serious in education be able to teach him well?"

Tanchun is used to being close to Baochai, but on this issue it is rare that he coincides with Daiyu—because Aunt Zhao has mentioned Jiao Shun time and time again, and her words even have a tendency to match her with each other. On the contrary, he had a bad impression of Jiao Shun.

At this time, Xue Baochai said seriously: "It would be a good thing for Brother Bao to broaden his knowledge—and that Jiao Shunshi is really unlearned..."

Just as she was talking, Lin Daiyu pulled Yingchun to inquire: "My sister has been imprisoned for so many days, why is she released today?"

She is not the only one with this question, Tanchun Xichun is also very curious, so they all turn their attention to Yingchun.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai shook her head helplessly, and then looked at Yingchun with a smile.

I am used to being a transparent person, and it is rare to be held by my sisters and stars. Yingchun was a little cramped, and he hesitated and said lightly: "The family needs to do things, because monks and priests have to chant scriptures and pray for blessings in the inner courtyard, even the masters and wives temporarily I moved to the study outside, so I naturally have to avoid it."

"A legal matter?"

Xichun wondered: "It's okay to do things in the first month, why do you let the monks enter the inner courtyard?"

Tanchun also wondered: "But I don't know what ritual? If you want to pray for the elders, can we help you transcribe a few scriptures and do your best?"

"This……"

Yingchun hesitated for a moment, thinking that this matter must not be concealed, so she said honestly: "It's a matter of transcending the law."

"Exceeding the law?"

All the girls looked at each other in blank dismay when they heard the words, they were all a little puzzled.

This old man and wife are very well-behaved, but why did they hold a super-delivery ceremony in their residence, isn't it too bad luck?
also……

Since the whole family has not heard any bad news, who is this rescued?
It's not to blame for their lack of information. This involves the dirty things of the elders in the family. How can outsiders take the initiative to tell a few girls?

Only Baochai looked as usual, and seeing Yingchun getting more and more embarrassed under the strange eyes of everyone, she smiled and said: "It's so easy for us sisters to reunite, and it's time to celebrate, but we're talking about rituals ?The elders have to worry about those things, so we don't need to meddle in our own business."

Hearing what she said, Tanchun applauded and laughed and said, "That's right! Brother Bao is late, so let's punish him as host and make a fuss in his yard!"

So the girls talked and laughed, and rushed to Baoyu's room together.

Taking advantage of Qingwen who stayed behind came forward to treat her, Tanchun quietly dragged Xue Baochai into the study next door.

Xichun drank half a cup of almond tea, but when she turned around, they were nowhere to be seen, so she asked about Baochai and Tanchun's whereabouts.

Lin Daiyu covered the cherries with a handkerchief, and said with a grin: "Sister is so ignorant. People like to gather like creatures. The third sister has always been shrewd and intelligent. Naturally, she and Sister Bao are like glue. We're all in one place."

"Humph~"

Xichun pursed her lips, took Yingchun's arm and said, "Elder sister is joking again! I'm afraid you are more thoughtful than them, second elder sister and I are the same."

Lin Daiyu was taken aback when she heard the words, but her heart was inadvertently touched, so she bowed her head sadly and said: "Yes, you are all in groups, but I am alone..."

Seeing her sad again, Yingchun and Xichun looked at each other, but they didn't know how to persuade them. They could only hope that Baoyu would come back soon.

next door.

After Tanchun listened to Xue Baochai's "abridged version", he couldn't help being stunned by Jia Amnesty's lewdness.

While secretly rejoicing that he was not born in the long house, he couldn't help worrying about the future of the second sister-the old man spends all day with those cronies, and the vision of the son-in-law is probably not that strong, the second sister thought and hoped. He wanted to get away from home, fearing that he would leave the tiger's den and enter the wolf's den.

Xue Baochai also let out a long sigh when she heard some metaphorical words from her.

Thinking of the previous rumors, he couldn't help saying: "If Jiao Shun wasn't born as a slave, he could be called a good match for the second younger sister, but it's a pity..."

Tanchun couldn't help but wondered when he heard the words: "Why does Sister Bao say such things?"

"Also? Who else said that?"

"This……"

Tan Chun was at a loss for words, and quickly changed the topic: "Sister Bao really thinks he is a good match? But I heard that he was rude, and he never went to school..."

"Didn't I say it before, he is uneducated."

Xue Baochai said seriously: "Recently, my elder brother often asks him for advice on how to do business. I have also read the letters I exchanged. There are many thought-provoking things. It just corresponds to the saying that "the world is knowledgeable, and human understanding is the article." If Brother Bao can learn some principles of how to behave in the world from him, it will be more useful than reading dead books."

Tanchun has always been convinced of Baochai's talent and insight, and hearing that she admired Jiao Shun so much, he couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that my aunt has hit the right button this time?"
Just as they were talking, they saw Daiyu, Yingchun, and Xichun squeezed in with their maids, filling the small inner study to the brim.

"What's going on here?"

Tan Chunqi said: "You don't drink tea in the living room, but why do you all come here to join in the fun?"

"Shh!"

But Lin Daiyu made a gesture of silence, and said with a low voice: "I just think that Sister Bao can't say anything, I didn't expect that there are people who will come as soon as they say it!"

Xichun immediately added: "Then Jiao Shun came back with Brother Bao, we had to come here to avoid it."

Hearing that Jiao Shun was following, Tanchun subconsciously went to the door to peek out, and saw a burly young man coming in side by side with Baoyu, his rough facial features were set off by Baoyu's delicate face, making him look even more imposing.

The daughter's family who was raised in a deep boudoir, especially those who are used to the white-faced gentlemen of the Jia family, probably can't see a man like Jiao Shun.

But Tanchun is different from others. Although he was raised in a boudoir, he has an extraordinary heroic spirit. Seeing Jiao Shun looking forward to his own strength, he couldn't help but praise him: "It is said that he was born rude, but now he falls in love at first sight." What a heroic scene!"

Most of the girls did not agree with this, but Yingchun nodded secretly.

Just seeing Tanchun lying in front of the door watching non-stop, she couldn't help feeling sour in her heart, and for the first time took the initiative to step forward to hold Tanchun, and persuaded: "Be careful not to be seen by him as disrespectful."

Only then did Tanchun stop peeping, but he still kept his ears open to hear what was going on outside.

But it was the first time for Jiao Shun to come to Jia Baoyu's residence, what he saw and heard was exquisite and extravagant, needless to say, there was even a scent of powder that lingered in the room, it was more like a woman's residence than a man's residence boudoir.

When the two parties were divided into guests and hosts, Baoyu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Although my father has explained, please let Brother Jiao let me go. When the master comes back to inquire, he will only say that I often go to the yamen with you."

"It's not impossible."

Jiao Shun picked up the teacup Qingwen offered, blew on the duckweed-like stalk and said, "It's just that if Mr. Zheng asks about your experience in the Ministry of Industry, I wonder how you're going to answer it?"

"This……"

Baoyu previously only wanted to 'skip class', but never thought about these details. Now that Jiao Shun woke her up, she belatedly remembered to make some plans.

He pondered for a while, and then said: "Firstly, Brother Jiao, please give me more advice, and secondly, why not let my nanny Li Gui follow Brother Yun, and when he comes back to learn from me, just take it as my knowledge .”

Hearing that Baoyu used all his quick wits on 'truancy skipping', more than half of the girls in the house were angry with him.

At this moment, Jiao Shun laughed, shook his head and said, "Brother Bao, you think our Ministry of Industry is a scourge, and you are not willing to go there yourself? Don't you know that the skilled craftsmen of our Ministry of Industry are the best in the world. There are so many fun things out there that you have never heard of or seen before, if you get a chance to play with them, I'm afraid you will linger on them and never want to leave!"

Hearing this, Tanchun couldn't help complaining in a charming voice: "This man is so unreasonable! The master asked him to discipline his elder brother, but he just used his clever obscene skills to tease him—how can he teach people like this?!"

Yingchun subconsciously wants to explain to Jiao Shun, but she has always been a taciturn person, and she is most influenced by Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism, so where is there a suitable reason to refute?

It was Baochai who said from the side, "Most likely he did this to make Brother Bao submit."

Baoyu thought so too!

Now he shook his head and smiled wryly, "Brother Jiao, don't lie to me. If you really want to go to the yamen to have fun, how can you explain to my father? Besides, my father is also an official in the Ministry of Industry. If you ask the truth from someone else, I'm afraid it will happen again." You're going to scold me for being a fool."

"Ha ha……"

Jiao Shun smiled again, looked at Baoyu and asked, "But I don't know what ambition brother Bao has?"

"This……"

Jia Baoyu is a salty fish at heart, and has always despised economic and official careers. How can he have any ambitions that can be achieved?

Jiao Shun asked again: "Isn't it possible to revive the lintel and become a prince and general?"

"Brother Jiao was joking."

Baoyu immediately shook his hands like a rattle: "I am so unfilial to my children and grandchildren, and it is my luck to be less smeared by my ancestors. How dare I think about princes and generals?"

After a pause, he added: "Besides, I'm really not interested in this."

"So you want to be a wealthy idler?"

"exactly!"

These four words hit Jia Baoyu's heart, and the chicken pecked at the rice and nodded, then stroked his palm and said: "I don't expect wealth, but as long as I can be an idler and keep my sisters and sisters at ease for a lifetime, that's the best! "

Listening to what he said from the bottom of his heart, all the girls had different sorrows and joys, but they all wanted to know how Jiao Shun was going to deal with the ambition of not being able to get on the wall.

Jiao Shun said with a smile: "Since you want to be an idler, how can you miss this 'ingenious obscenity'? Maybe, brother's wealth and glory in this life are also hidden in it!"

All the girls didn't believe this, and Baoyu shook her head again and again: "Brother Jiao, don't coax me, I'm afraid that when I arrive at your office of the Ministry of Industry, what's waiting for me is not my clever prostitution skills, but my economic career."

"Brother, if you don't believe me..."

Jiao Shun pointed his palm at Baoyu: "How about we make a bet?"

"What swear?"

"During the past half a year, I guarantee that you will only be with those ingenious and obscene skills in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry. If you have a half-sentence on economics and official career, brother will never go again. I will ask Mr. Zheng afterwards. bear it!"

When these words came out, all the girls in the room were stunned.

Tanchun stomped his feet and said angrily, "Could this man be crazy?!"

Baoyu was also dumbfounded, and after a while he asked tentatively, "Brother Jiao, what do you mean by this? Don't you fear my father's reproach?"

Jiao Shun shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, times have changed, even though brothers and Mr. Zheng are father and son, I'm afraid they may not know his mind - now the biggest support of the family is not the glory of the ancestors, but the virtuous concubine in the palace, Compared with the children studying and studying, helping the virtuous concubine to be favored is the top priority!"

"Nowadays, His Majesty is obsessed with craftsmanship, and wants to revive the industrial innovation of the Taizu Dynasty. No one in the world knows about this? There are many reprimands and conflicts among the important officials in the court, and there are many obstacles for His Majesty to be alone. That's why I can have such a good fortune. official opportunity."

Hearing this, Baoyu frowned and said: "Brother Jiao, don't you mean that you want me to learn from you and become an official by means of a craftsman?"

"No!"

Jiao Shun shook his head: "Brother Yibao's current situation, if you learn from me and become an official in the imperial court, you will fall behind. If I were Brother Bao, I would never be a courtier, but a confidant who is detached!"

"confidant?"

"It's a bosom friend!"

Jiao Shun said decisively: "Brother Yibao has such a disposition that hates economic and official careers, and he is also suitable to be a confidant!"

"Brother Bao, if he can understand the principles of those so-called ingenious obscene techniques in the Ministry of Industry, he can use the door of Xiande Concubine to directly reach Tianting—and the expected concubine visiting relatives just provides a further opportunity!"

"At that time, as long as you get into His Majesty's eyes, brother will naturally be a wealthy idler who only talks about 'ingenious and obscene skills' and doesn't care about world affairs and government affairs!"

Baoyu was dumbfounded at this time.

After muttering for a while, he used Jia Zheng as a shield again: "But master, how about..."

"So brother Bao can't fully understand your father's thoughts."

Jiao Shun said: "If he doesn't agree with this matter, why would he appoint you to go to the Ministry of Industry to broaden your knowledge?"

As he spoke, he said with a smile that was not a smile: "Brother Bao keeps saying that he doesn't like official career and economics, and just wants to be an idler, but it's not like he won't even study ingenious skills?"

"This……"

The "idleman" in Baoyu's mind is obviously not the same as the "idleman" in Jiao Shun's mouth.

But when it came to this point, he couldn't help but refuse, so he could only say with a bitter face: "In that case, I, I will try it."
