The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 232
[There is another update before 12 o'clock. 】

After Jia's mother gave birth to her son, she restarted the loving mode.

Although the people present were a little unclear about what happened just now, but Jia She was really hated by people in the Rongguo Mansion, without him present, everyone just felt refreshed, so the atmosphere of the birthday banquet was not only lacking It was destroyed, but it became more and more harmonious.

Then, following the order of Lai Da, who was in charge of the birthday banquet, the temporary stage on three sides began to practice separately—the left and right were silent jugglers, only the gongs and drums in the middle were loud and the singing was melodious, and they did not interfere with each other.

This bustle lasted from noon to evening.

Jiao Shun got word from Jia Rong that he was going to Gaole in the East Mansion in the evening, so he went home first, firstly to congratulate the two elders formally, and secondly, to bring two changes of clothes.

When he got home, he went straight to the main room, and when he entered the door, he saw many gifts on the table and on the ground, which were only a lot more than the gifts he received when he was promoted to the head of the Secretary's Office the day before yesterday.

Mrs. Xu was taking stock of the posts, and when she saw her son come in and look at these gifts, she smiled and said, "They are all from the housekeepers. They say they are congratulations for your father and I getting out of citizenship, but to put it bluntly, they are just for the old lady's eyes. It's just a disc."

After a pause, Xu pretended to be mysterious and asked again: "Brother, guess who gave the heaviest gift this time?"

Without thinking, Jiao Shun said, "It should be Lai Da."

"how do you know?"

"If you are so serious, it must be given by someone who shouldn't come. The family who shouldn't come and can give a heavy gift is his family."

In fact, there is another reason, that Lai Da has always been the mother of Jia, but now the old lady deliberately praised Jiao Shun's parents in front of others, and suppressed Jia Amnesty with her backhand. Blow.

While talking to my mother, I saw my old man came out from the inner room and sat on the main seat without much smile on his face.

What's going on here?
Could it be that he was reluctant to part with the benefits of the Rongguo Mansion?
But it's not right, he bought the courtyard with great enthusiasm a few days ago, planning to lay a century-old foundation for his family.

While he was wondering, he heard Lai Wang ask, "Did you take Qingwen into service?"

It was because of this.

"This...hehe."

Jiao Shun laughed, and said, "It's not that my son wants to take her in, it's because Brother Bao said clearly that he wouldn't call her back. She gave up thinking about it and got angry for a moment, so she offered to sacrifice herself to the boy..."

"Even if Third Master Bao doesn't want it anymore, you shouldn't be in such a hurry to close him!"

Laiwang interrupted his son, annoyed: "Such a yelling, if he regrets afterwards, won't he hate you again?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Jiao Shun spread his hands, and said indifferently: "My son is not as good as before. Besides, Mr. Zheng still relies on me to help in the yamen. So what if Baoyu is annoyed?"

"Then there's no need to be so anxious!"

Laiwang slapped the table lightly, and said earnestly: "Young people are most afraid of being greedy and lustful. Throughout the ages, I don't know how many people and things have been ruined by this. You have a bright future now, and you should... "

In addition to the matter of Qingwen, he also deliberately pointed out the inappropriateness of his son always staying overnight in the East Mansion. Obviously, he also noticed something.

This is not surprising, a little girl like Yuchuan can see some clues, let alone a sophisticated Laiwang.

But Jiao Shun respectfully listened to his father's scolding, but he didn't take it seriously.

How does he not know the harm of wine and sex?
But from ancient times to the present, how many people can escape these two?
As long as there is no loss in the big picture, there is no need to shy away from these things too much.

Besides, if you don't have any hobbies in life, what's the fun of living a hundred years?

With Jiao Shun's temperament, not to mention that he traveled to the country of the Red Mansion, and then went to a ghost world like Liaozhai. In addition to looking for immortals and Taoists, he would probably also wait for the opportunity to recruit a few vixens to gain insight. What is a ghost.

Of course, delicacies such as dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and wonders such as changes in the world are not to be missed.

Otherwise, in addition to fighting and killing, you just sit and meditate. Even if you can live forever and see for a long time, how is it different from an iron stone puppet?
Just as he was thinking about something, suddenly the east door opened, and a white-haired Jiao Dalai sprang out, and he blew his beard and stared and scolded: "Bullshit! How can young people be lustful?! When I was young More than half of the monthly money was given to the prostitutes of various families, and they were too old to use, so they started to indulge in drinking and eating!"

Laiwang was a little baffled by his sudden attack.

He hurriedly got up and smiled with him: "Old brother is open-minded, and he can't be as prosperous as he is."

"Fart open-minded!"

Jiao Da still didn't give face, and angrily sat across from Laiwang, glared at Laiwang and asked: "If he wants to accept a woman, how will the incense of my Jiao family be passed down? The son he gave birth has nothing to do with your surname, So don't worry about it, right?!"

When Laiwang heard this, he finally understood his logic. He couldn't laugh or cry, and quickly explained: "My brother misunderstood, I never meant it."

"There is no misunderstanding."

Jiao Da raised his hand, and said unquestionably: "Let's talk about it today. I know that you were quick to talk at the beginning, so I asked him to change Jiao's surname directly and cut off the incense for you to come home. I regret it now." !"

"I do not have……"

"But it's too late for him to change his surname back now."

Jiao Da didn't give Lai Wang a chance to intervene at all, and directly said the method he had come up with these days: "Why don't you just let him marry two families, marry a wife for the Lai family, and marry a wife for our Jiao family. In this way, the two families will have incense?!"

Laiwang was stunned for a moment.

He did not regret the choice he made at the beginning, but if he could build on the current foundation and allow the Lai family to have successors, he would naturally not refuse.

Jiao Shun was overjoyed.

He has been hesitating whether to marry Baochai, Daiyu, or Xiangyun. Now that he has the reason to marry both, wouldn't he be able to choose two of the three?
But soon he calmed down again, although it is said that this co-existence has existed since ancient times, but who in a serious family would let his daughter work with someone else?
Either marry two people with inferior identities, or one is tall and the other is low-and the front is high and the back is low, because the criticism must fall on the latter.

Such a calculation...

Probably it can only be a combination of Baochai + Xing Xiuyan, Daiyu + Third Sister You——As for the double-lower combination of Xing Xiuyan + Third Sister You, I always feel a bit panicked, so it is not in Jiao Shun's consideration .

Of course, even if this is the case, it must be a bigger choice than just marrying one.

Here Jiao Shun is still arranging and combining in his mind, while Lai Wang and Jiao Da are starting to have a serious discussion on how to make this combination suitable.

According to Jiao Nature's simple way, it's best to get it done together, or get married early and give birth early.

But Laiwang also thought that doing so would be a bit of a loss, so he voluntarily decided to let his son marry Mrs. Jiao's family first, and wait for the right time before marrying Mrs. Lai's family.

As they talked, the two discussed again that they would build a separate ancestral hall in the new house, enshrining the ancestors of the Lai and Jiao families in it.

Not to mention how heated their discussions were.

Jiao Shun saw that it was getting late, so he pleaded guilty to Mrs. Xu, and asked his mother to take care of him, so that the two fathers would not drink too much at night and mess up the relationship.

Then quietly left the main room and went to the east chamber to get a change of clothes.

At this time, Qingwen was no longer in the room, and she probably returned to the West Wing. She didn't know whether it was sadness, hatred, resentment or regret, but Jiao Shun didn't bother to pay attention.

Under Yu Chuan's resentful gaze, he accepted the burden, and once again promised that Ming'er would spoil her, and Jiao Shun would just walk away.

Unexpectedly, when he reached the gate of the courtyard, Qingwen stopped him again.

She frowned step by step and approached Jiao Shun, and whispered: "Mingyan has a lover in the East Mansion, and he goes to private meetings from time to time. I wanted to find out who that person is, and then arrest the couple face to face. Adulterer ****, don't want to..."

When she first came to Jiao's house, Jiao Shun had asked about this matter, but she kept it a secret—probably because she was worried that it would affect Jia Baoyu—and finally revealed the truth until now.

"I see!"

Jiao Shun suddenly realized, no wonder he secretly searched for Mingyan's affair according to his memory but found nothing. The matter of love did not happen in Rongguo Mansion, but in Ningguo Mansion.

This is easy to handle, and it will not be difficult to find out who it is after communicating with Youshi at night.
