The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 205 Miscellaneous

Men are often a complex of impulse and reason, and are used to shifting from one extreme to the other.

This point is vividly reflected in Jiao Shun.

He asked Qingwen to come over on a temporary basis. He originally thought that it would take some time to coax the little girl who likes the new and dislikes the old, but whoever made his dream come true repeatedly hit the wall—he was dumped by Qingwen before he even had time to show his true intentions. cold face.

This made Jiao Shun quite annoyed.

Since time travel, he has been smooth sailing in terms of female sex. The wives and grandmas of the Duke's mansion have slept with two, and a maid in a remote area is so ignorant!
Since then, every time I try my best, I will have the Buddhist thoughts of "not worth it" and "let her go".

But once they have recharged their energy, they are often unwilling to let it go, and regenerate the ambition to completely conquer it.

So repeatedly for more than a month...

Tired, what's the matter with love!
If it is in the previous life, if there is a girl with Qingwen's good looks and 100% original clothes by her side, not to mention more than a month's work, it is worthwhile to lick it for a year.

But now...

Jiao Shun sleeps all day long with the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, with Xiang Ling and Yu Chuan beside him who are willing to do whatever they want, and then go to lick a little maid—even the most brilliant maid in the original book of the Red Chamber. Some can't let go of their figure.

What's more, as the work-study policy was gradually promoted in Zhili area at the end of May, the yamen became more and more busy.

It's so easy to squeeze out some time, it's always a waste to waste it on a maid - isn't it delicious to chat with Baochai about life topics in letters?
Of course, Jiao Shun's covetousness towards Chai and Dai has also shaken to a considerable extent recently.

In terms of their own appearance and talent, these two are the most important among the girls in the Red Mansion.

However, if one considers family background, Daiyu, who is an orphan, and Baochai, who lost her father at a young age, may not be suitable marriage partners for Jiao Shun, who is on the rise in his career.

Even Shi Xiangyun, the prostitute of the Hou family, is not satisfactory.

After thinking about it, the most suitable one at the current stage is the third girl Tanchun.

After all, if you marry her, you can barely be regarded as the emperor's brother-in-law-although this status is not on the table, it is undoubtedly very helpful for a "lucky minister" like Jiao Shun.

however……

Jia Yuanchun seemed to be dying of illness in a few years.

This was also one of the reasons for the rapid decline of the Rongguo Mansion.

What's more, with Jiao Shun's background, the fault is that when you meet the Xing family and Jia She who don't care about face, if you want to marry the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion or the Wang family, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as heaven - even Jia She and the Xing family , It seems that there are other thoughts.

Sometimes Jiao Shun also thought about whether he should simply abandon the girls in the Red Mansion and choose a beneficial marriage outside.

For example, a powerful man like Su Shilang - said that Su Shilang has a daughter in his family, but it seems that a marriage has already been made, and with the appearance of old Su, his daughter is probably...

Hey~
Hue is what I want, power is also what I want, unfortunately it is hard to have both.

Or should I settle for the next best thing, Xiao think about Shi Xiangyun?

Although the historian is down and out, and we can't provide much help in the officialdom, we still bear the name of the prostitute of the Hou family anyway.

It will still be helpful for future level transitions.

Ok……

It seems that I have time to go to the Qingxu Temple for a while, first try to get the male unicorn, so that I can make a record.

…………

Time flies, and it is late June in a blink of an eye.

It was not bright that day, Jiao Shun rarely had breakfast with his parents and godfather.

It was approaching the three volts, and the steamer in the capital was like a stuffy steamer. Although the breakfast was only a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, which was warm, besides fresh cold dishes, Jiao Shun was still sweating profusely.

If it was in the east chamber, he would have called Xiangling and Yuchuan to put the ice basin under his feet.

But at Jiao Da's age, he can't stand the hot and cold, so Jiao Shun can only give up and ask Qingwen to go to the kitchen to get a bowl of iced sour plum soup, mix it with eight-treasure porridge and drink it down with her mother's nagging .

Originally, according to Xu's meaning, he wanted to temporarily confess Qingwen first.

But after spending the first few days of despair, Qingwen took the initiative to support the various tasks in the main room, but Liu Wu'er, the official maid, became a vassal.

Of course, Liu Wu'er didn't have any objection to this, instead she and Qingwen formed a self-pitying pair.

When the two are free, they often sit silently facing each other, assuming that they are both in love and worrying at the same time.

Only when Baoyu comes to visit occasionally, the two of them will appear alive-Liu Xianglian is now hiding in the Beijing Palace, and Jia Baoyu will bring him news every time, so that Liu Wuer can also relieve the pain of lovesickness.

However, Liu Xianglian obviously didn't care much about Wu'er's family, instead she would ask Baoyu to send letters to Jiao Shun from time to time to discuss the matter of Xia Wu's exchange of students.

To say that this fellow is really bold and reckless, obviously because he shot down the flag of the embassy, ​​he is being wanted by the court and even King Zhongshun, but he still wants to travel to the Wuxi country and do some investigations for the court to know himself and the enemy.

By the way, after more than two months of difficult negotiations, the peace talks between Xiawu finally achieved a phased breakthrough recently.

This was mainly because the Xia Kingdom Expeditionary Force had difficulty adapting to the poisonous climate. Since entering May, the situation of non-combat attrition has become increasingly serious, and the hardliners in the DPRK and the Central Committee, who are focused on opening up territories, have to bow their heads in reality.

The involvement of several major powers in Europe in the negotiations also put a lot of pressure on the Wuxi people.

Therefore, on the premise that both sides made a certain degree of concessions, an armistice agreement was finally initially reached - the reason why it is said to be initially reached is because this armistice agreement will be sent back to the mainland of Wuxi, and the queen and the cabinet will sign and agree Only then will it come into effect.

According to the content of the agreement, Xia Kingdom will withdraw its troops from the northeast of Shendu in some stages, and only retain the land at the junction of Shendu and Qianxiang Kingdom, which is about 0.8 square kilometers [equivalent to [-] modern Yanjing], as a military buffer zone.

In addition, Xia Guo also promised to resume trade with the Wuxi people, and to add treaty ports along the coast, and urged East Asian countries to reopen their doors to Wuxi merchants.

At the same time, the Wuxi people promised to withdraw their military forces from the East Asian waters, give up all privileges and territorial claims in the Qianxiang Kingdom, and pay 200 million taels of commercial subsidies to the Xia Kingdom, and unconditionally support the anti-smoking actions of East Asian countries.

These commercial subsidies are actually war reparations, but the Wuxi people resolutely refuse to use the word 'reparations' in order to avoid stimulating internal radical forces.

In addition, after the agreement takes effect, the two sides will mutually establish permanent diplomatic ambassadors and organize official-level study abroad exchanges.

In general, in the series of disputes over the past three years in Longyuan, both Xia and Wu actually killed one thousand enemies and self-injured eight hundred.

For Xia, the 200 million taels of war indemnity and a mere [-] square kilometers of land, which is still isolated overseas, cannot make up for the losses of the Guangdong and Guangxi navy and the materials consumed by organizing the expeditionary force.

And Wu Xiguo, who took the initiative to stir up disputes, obviously couldn't do anything without stealing chickens.

Therefore, both parties are somewhat dissatisfied with the result of the peace talks.

However, Xia State's sea and territory are controlled by others, and Wuxi State cannot bear the loss of losing Shendu's colony. Under the rule of poison, there is a situation of internal and external difficulties.

Therefore, the two sides are afraid of beating the wolf with a stick, and they can only have sex temporarily.

Once the situation changes in the future, there may be another fight between the two sides - since the imperial court is ambitious to form an ocean-going navy, it is likely that Xia Guo will take the lead at that time.
