The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 209 Xing Xiuyan arrives in Beijing

[The second update is in the middle of the night, everyone go to bed first, it won't be too late to watch it tomorrow. 】

Back then when he was watching TV dramas wholeheartedly, Jiao Shun admired Third Sister You's fiery temper.

But this kind of unscrupulous character is not pleasing in reality.

She clearly said she wanted to figure it out slowly, but she insisted on urging her, and even questioned whether Jiao Shun was trying to play it off, and You Shi, who was so annoyed, wished she could just throw it away and not care about this shit anymore.

That is to say, Jiao Shun's usual sensuality, thinking about getting a three-bed relationship, and wanting to investigate Zhang's father and son, that's why she tolerated her nonsense.

After a few days of unannounced investigations, some clues were found. That Zhang Hua had indeed made a fortune recently. Not only did he pay off his gambling bills, but he was also very generous in eating, drinking and having fun in his daily life.

but……

Based on these doubts alone, it is not enough to dismiss the father and son. If you want to judge the crime or use it as an excuse, it is far from enough.

After checking and checking, I can't find any tampering with Zhang's father and son in the accounts and official documents.

It seems that some means of fishing law enforcement must be used.

This is not difficult, after all, Zhang Hua is a gambler, and Jiao Shun happens to have an expert who set up a trick under him, as long as he set up a trick to make him owe a gambling debt again, and then double the urging and intimidation, so that he will not be afraid to take risks.

Of course, this set of things can't be done overnight.

Therefore, after Jiao Shun entrusted the matter to Ni Er, the drunk king, he put on a posture of being tight on the outside and loose on the inside in the yamen, just waiting for the wisher to take the bait.

In a blink of an eye, it is the fourth day of July.

It was rare for Jiao Shun to sleep in at home again this day, and he didn't drive out of the back gate of Rong Mansion until the sun was high.

However, he didn't go to the Ministry of Industry to be on duty, but went round and round to Rongning Street.

It's not that he is going to sleep today, but he took a special trip to ask for a day off. Gain Xing sent someone to send word yesterday that he wanted to ask Jiao Shun to meet his elder brother at the Datongpu Wharf.

Originally, Jia Lian should be sent to this matter, but Jia Lian is not in Beijing these few days, but went to inspect the autumn with his own father - every year after the beginning of autumn, the Rongning Second Mansion will send people to inspect the village It is used to predict the harvest and income of the year, and together with Zhuangtou from all over the country to pray for blessings, praying for God to bless the harvest before and after the autumn harvest.

Therefore, it is reasonable to send Jiao Shun, who is from a wealthy family and has an official position, to greet him.

But because of what Jia Yingchun said earlier, Jiao Shun always felt that this arrangement had some deep meaning.

But the matter is not yet clear, he will not take the initiative to tear up his face with the Xing family, so he complied quietly, and this morning he found the Dongkua courtyard according to the appointment.

As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the door, Qin Xian greeted him from the inside, trotted up to him, and said flatteringly with his shoulders slanted: "Master Jiao, my wife ordered me to follow you to the outside of the city for a while, Let’s bring my uncle back first and then talk about it.”

Who is Jiao Shun, he immediately understood: "Then I won't go in, you pack up, let's leave as soon as possible."

"Okay!"

Qin Xian responded, and went back to the courtyard to drive out the prepared carriage.

"and many more."

At this time, Jiao Shun's heart suddenly moved, and he felt that this was a good opportunity to lay the groundwork in advance, so he greeted: "The road is boring, we just have a chat to relieve the boredom, you and I will ride in the same car."

Qin Xian hurriedly responded respectfully.

When the carriage sent by Mrs. Xing was greeted, he carefully got into Jiao Shun's car, sat on the opposite side of Jiao Shun with his buttocks tilted, and complimented him with a smile on his face: "Master, this horse is really majestic, and the villain can just stand on tiptoe." to its chin."

Your two horses are also good.

"Prestige is majesty, but it is also worthless compared to other horses."

Jiao Shun casually said something perfunctory, and then took the initiative to talk about the past: "I was captured by your wife in the back house. It's been almost two years since then?"

"This……"

It is precisely because of this old grievance that Qin Xian will be more respectful and cautious every time he sees Jiao Shun.

Hearing Jiao Shun take the initiative to bring up this matter at this time, he couldn't help but feel anxious, he twisted his body to get up, hunched over and said with a sneer: "It's all a bitch who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, so he collided..."

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

Jiao Shun stopped him, motioned him to sit back again, and then continued: "I don't blame her, what are you doing in such a panic? To be honest, if I didn't go through this calamity back then, I would have just I'm afraid that I may not be able to meet my adoptive father, let alone have the glory I have today - so, your daughter-in-law is still a noble person in my life."

Only then did Qin Xian heave a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to respond to these words, bent his body and said: "Master, you are joking, you are a blessed person, don't be busy, what does it have to do with her?"

"otherwise."

Jiao Shun shook his hand, and muttered: "Recently, I often go to Qingxu to watch and listen to those Taoist priests preaching. I would rather believe such things than believe them. If she is really a noble person in my life, I will I can't belittle her—how about it, when the yard is repaired, I'll find a fat job for her."

"Ouch~"

When Qin Xian heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "What are you talking about, I... I kowtow for you here, little one!"

As he spoke, he bumped and kowtowed several times in front of Jiao Shun.

When he sat back down again, Qin Xian couldn't help thinking about it secretly.

Previously, his own family was not going well in every way, he just got a job, not to mention, the mother-in-law at home even wanted to change her post many times, but she couldn't ask for it.

However, in the past year, the husband and wife have changed their fortunes successively.

This……

It must be the good luck brought by the birth of a son!
It seems that this child has a lot of extraordinary things in his life.

Thinking about it this way, he cherished his son even more from then on.

Not to mention this.

But when it was around noon, a small cargo ship slowly docked on the Datong Bridge Pier outside Dongbianmen.

Xing Zhong, who had carried the big and small burdens on his back, couldn't wait to call out his wife and children, and ran to the inner deck.

The Xing family had been in decline a few years ago, so Xing Zhong had long wanted to go north to attach himself to the Duke's Mansion, but firstly he knew that his sister was cold-faced and cold-hearted, so he might not be willing to try his best to help his family; That's why it never worked out.

It wasn't until the early summer of this year that Mrs. Xing sent a letter to invite their family to live in the capital, and said that they had found an excellent marriage for their niece. Xing Zhong finally made up his mind to go north.

However, because Mrs. Xing only sent someone to deliver the letter, but did not send the toll to Sichuan, so Xing Zhong had to spend another two months to sell the property, and then he was able to make the trip in mid-June.

He couldn't even rent a decent passenger ship because he didn't have enough money on the road, so he had to stay on a half-empty cargo ship.

Since it is a temporarily remodeled cabin of a cargo ship, the difference in the environment can be imagined.

It's no wonder that after arriving at the destination, he didn't want to delay for a moment, and was eager to get off the ship.

"Father, please slow down."

Wife Xing saw her husband striding up to the springboard carrying the burden, and hurriedly shouted from behind: "There are only a few clothes, be careful not to fall into the water!"

Xing Xiuyan obediently supported her mother and moved to the pier step by step.

When the mother and daughter got off the boat and saw Xing Zhong looking around on the pier, Xing's wife hurriedly said: "The head of the house, could it be that the aunt didn't send someone to pick us up?"

"Should someone be sent?"

Xing Zhong murmured without confidence: "Obviously before leaving, someone sent a letter, and we didn't delay on the way..."

Just as he was talking, Xing Xiuyan tugged at his father's sleeve, pointed to a string of lanterns not far away and said, "The words Rongguo Mansion are written on it, could it be that they are here to pick us up?"

As soon as she said that, Xing Zhong hurriedly set up an arbor to look over.

At this time, the people under the lantern also saw the family of three here, and at that moment a burly man led the crowd to greet him, and he cupped his hands and asked from a distance of Zhang Xuyuan: "Dare to ask, but Master Xing is in person?"

Seeing the arrogance and arrogance of Lai Sheng, Xing Zhong didn't know what the identity of the other party was, and he didn't know how to respond politely.

So he asked embarrassingly first: "It is Xing, dare to ask your honor?"

The man hurriedly said: "Little nephew Jiao Shun, please forgive me for being late."

"You are Jiao Shun?"

The Xing family was taken aback when they heard the words, and Xing Xiuyan lowered her head subconsciously, but couldn't help taking a peek at Jiao Shun's facial features and figure.

Xing Xiuyan was a little disappointed when he saw that he was arrogant and not the image of Mr. Pianpian as he had imagined, but after all, she was not a superficial person who judges people by their appearance, so she quickly focused on observing words and demeanor, trying to pass Jiao Shun's Behavior and speech, a little understanding of it.

Seeing that the Xing family had heard about him, Jiao Shun couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that Jia Yingchun [Lin Daiyu] really guessed it right, the Xing family really had other ideas.

Of course, he still smiled and said: "I'm ashamed to say it, but I didn't know that anyone who had met my uncle came with me when I arrived at the pier. I had no choice but to buy a few lanterns temporarily. Fortunately, I didn't miss them." , otherwise I wouldn’t be able to do business.”

After hearing Jiao Shun's words, Xing Zhong just smiled awkwardly.

For a moment, he didn't know how to face Jiao Shun. It is said that this is very likely to be his future son-in-law, so he should act like an elder; In front of this official authority, how can he get tough from a dilapidated household.

Fortunately, Jiao Shun saw his embarrassment, and quickly smiled again: "Blame me, blame me, my uncle is too tired to travel, but I only care about talking here - hurry up, serve my uncle, wife, and girl." Get in the car, and wait until we get back home to talk about anything!"

As they spoke, the maids and servants swarmed up, those who carried luggage, those who helped people helped people, and sent the three members of Xing's family to two carriages like stars holding the moon.

But after they boarded the car, Jiao Shun did not rush to order to set off, but ordered Shuanzhu to serve half-warm sour plum soup and cooling oil, so as not to spoil the appetite of the hot genius who got off the ship and got on the car again. summer poison.

Xing Xiuyan drank half a bowl of sour plum soup, and found out without any trace that these things had nothing to do with her aunt, and Jiao Shun prepared them on her own initiative, she couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking that this rough life is actually a secret.
