The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 213
[The third update is in the middle of the night, everyone will watch it tomorrow. 】

I don't mention how Xing Xiuyan settles down.

But Jiao Shun went back to his house along the inner wall, and saw the coachman and Shuan Zhu stepping on the stool to brush the horse's hair with warm water, and Xiang Ling was tending the few exotic flowers and plants transplanted from Rongguo Mansion this spring in front of the flower garden. .

Back then, it was Xiangling who begged Jiao Shun to come forward to save these old things that should have been shoveled out. After transplanting this year, it was only because of her careful care that seven out of ten survived.

"Grandpa is back!"

Seeing Jiao Shun striding into the door, Xiang Ling rushed forward to meet him.

"Ah."

Jiao Shun rolled up his sleeves, and while ordering Xiang Ling to prepare an ice basin and sour plum soup, he went straight into the main room.

But after a while, he came out from the inside again, and raised his voice and asked: "Xiangling, isn't the master taking a rest today? Why is there no one in the room? Even the adoptive father and the old man are gone?"

The door curtain was lifted, but it was Yu Chuan who came out, and said in his mouth: "Didn't you say you want to buy a house earlier, the two masters made an appointment to go out to look at the house."

As he spoke, he pouted his lips towards the opposite west chamber and whispered, "Last night I cried again."

tsk~
Jiao Shun naturally knew that she was talking about Qingwen.

At first, Baoyu often came to visit, but as time went on, Qingwen's stereotyped appeals inevitably made people feel bored; in addition, there were so many Yingyingyanyans in the family who were all around Baoyu, and Lin Daiyu, who needed to be coaxed, was really annoying. I'm exhausted.

Therefore, the number of visits is getting less and less, and the frequency is getting lower and lower.

Recently, she didn't show up for seven or eight days, which caused Qingwen to cry in secret several times.

"Don't care about her."

Yesterday was "Two Days", Jiao Shun is at the time when he is as holy as a Buddha today, and his heart is like that of stone sculpture and iron sculpture, he waved his hands indifferently and said: "You only need to have enough food and clothing, she is crying Is it laughing, do we also need to take care of it?"

With that said, he turned around and returned to the East Chamber.

"Uncle Jiao."

After entering the door, a woman stood up in front of her, but it was not Xiang Ling who came in earlier, but Yu Chuan's sister Jin Chuan.

The sisters had a falling out because of praise and criticism of Baoyu, but after all, they were sisters united in heart. Hearing that Qingwen had arrived at Jiao's house, Jin Chuan was worried that her sister's status would be shaken, so she sent someone to inquire about her twice. The two sisters took this as an excuse The opportunity to reconcile as before.

Therefore, Jiao Shun was not surprised to see Jin Chuan as a guest.

He raised his hand and pressed it weakly, signaling Jin Chuan not to be too polite, and then took the initiative to go to the inner room.

Inside, Xiangling had already prepared the things. Seeing Jiao Shun enter the door, she hurriedly wiped her hands and brought out sour plum soup from the shallow pot on the ice basin.

Jiao Shun poured most of the bowl down, asked Xiangling to drink the rest, rolled on the bed, and said with Erlang's legs crossed: "You are free in the afternoon, pick up a few gold and jade ornaments that you bought at the bottom of the box earlier. It's a small and delicate one, and it's in my purse."

Mrs. Xing has always been a wicked person. Although she was lucky enough to be interrupted by Baoyu today, she may not be able to bring up the old incident again in the future. Therefore, she must make some preparations in advance to avoid repeating today's mistakes.

Xiangling didn't ask why, but nodded in response.

Putting the empty bowl in her hand aside, she took two beauty fists on her own, and beat Jiao Shun's legs in a patchwork pattern, raising her eyes to sneak a peek from time to time.

"what happened?"

Jiao Shun changed into a comfortable position, closed his eyes and said, "Just say something."

"Uncle is going, have you ever seen Miss Xing?"

"I saw it."

Jiao Shun raised his eyes and pinched her, then closed his eyes and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"No... nothing."

Xiangling stammered: "It's just that I see Sister Siqi and the others as if they are facing a big enemy."

After a pause, he said again: "Actually, it may not be what they thought. The eldest wife has already agreed to this matter, so she won't go back on what she says, will she?"

As the two sides come and go, her relationship with Xiuju and Siqi has become closer, so the two of them did not hide this from her.

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

Jiao Shun snorted and said: "If this husband and wife promise a thousand dollars, why did Sun Shaozu block the door and scold them a few days ago?"

Looking at the posture today, it is very likely that the Xing family is going to regret the marriage—more precisely, they want to replace Jia Yingchun with Xing Xiuyan.

To be honest, in terms of appearance, the two are similar, but in terms of personality, Xing Xiuyan is probably more than stronger than Xing Xiuyan.

But before Jiao Shun left his citizenship, he had vowed to marry a rich and noble daughter, and now that he was about to be promoted to the sixth rank, wouldn't it be a big discount?

If he really tore his face, he might have to give up this retreat and make a breakthrough on Baochai and Xiangyun as soon as possible.

Speaking of Xiangyun, that golden unicorn...

"Father."

Just as his thoughts were flying, Yu Chuan also walked in from the outside.

"Your sister is gone?"

Jiao Shun asked without raising his head.

"Ah."

Yu Chuan stepped forward to share a small hammer, and accompanied Xiang Ling to beat Jiao Shun's legs, and at the same time said: "Second Wife asked her to bring a message, saying that it was a letter from Mr. Beijing."

Jia Zheng has been away for more than half a year, and now he is finally coming back.

It's just that they came back a bit late, and now that Jia Baoyu has succumbed to his softness, it's not good to make their father be kind and their son filial.

The three master and servant chatted one after another, and at some point Jiao Shun fell asleep.

It was evening when I woke up.

Jiao Shun lifted the thin quilt and got up. Xiang Ling, who was dozing next to him, heard the movement, yawned and got up to serve.

While tidying up his clothes, Jiao Shun asked, "Have the two masters ever returned?"

"Not long after I came back, I didn't let the food be served, so I tricked the Four Treasures of the Study to write and draw in the room."

Write and draw?

Do you already have a goal?
Jiao Shun originally wanted to procrastinate for a while, but he never thought that the second elder would be so proactive.

When I found the living room of the main room and scanned it, it turned out that there was a suitable target.

"Today I followed the middleman to a few houses, and my old brother and I fell in love with a large courtyard at a glance." Lai Wang took a sketch, pointed to a few simple squares on it and said: "North and south, thirty feet and ten feet [approx. 43 meters], about eleven feet from east to west [about 36 meters], "

"I plan to flatten it, and it would be appropriate to build a second-entry house-by then, [-]% of the front yard will be used, [-]% will be used as the backyard, and the backyard will be divided into two small quadrangles. My brother and I will live in the east yard. , your boy is at ease in the west courtyard."

After listening to his gestures, Jiao Shun asked for the address, and found that it was not too far away from Rongning Second Mansion, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "Father, you are talking so much about the hype, but such a good place, how come it is so far away?" Didn’t anyone buy a flip cover?”

"There is a lawsuit!"

Jiao Da interjected nonchalantly: "Several families are fighting for property, and people's brains have become like dogs' brains. Now they all insist that the house is their own, and it is also registered in Shuntian Mansion. If you want to buy it, you have to settle this matter. Lose."

Laiwang followed up and added: "This land can only be built with a two-entry house at most. If you can settle it, you can't look at it, and if you look at it, you can't balance it. Naturally, it will be cheaper for our family—as long as you ask Jia Fucheng to come forward." After the lawsuit is over, let Ni Er secretly use some tricks, I'm not afraid that they won't submit obediently!"

tsk~
My father is kind and generous among the slaves, but he has no scruples about bullying and dominating the market.

Jiao Shun hurriedly warned: "Father, you must let Ni Eryou take it easy and don't make any more troubles."

"Don't worry, dad is still pointing at you to honor your ancestors, how could he ruin your future."

Jiao Shun chuckled: "It's hard to talk about Guangzong Yaozu, but it shouldn't be difficult to give my mother an order in two years."

The father and son were chatting and laughing, but Jiao Da was speechless.
