The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 252 Xiao Guo's Uncle's Name Moves the Capital

But when Baoyu returned home that evening, he was brought to a three-court trial by Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

Jia Baoyu's face was slightly drunk, obviously he had drank in the palace, so facing Jia Zheng, he was not as restrained as before, and boasted with a silly smile: "Grandmother Lao and the master note that everything is fine with me in the palace, and your majesty is kind and friendly." It’s tight, I just asked about the principles of gewu—I heard those things in the Ministry of Industry in the past, and I naturally answered them fluently.”

"Later, His Majesty asked about Mengxue again. Since I have been there several times with Brother Jiao, I am no stranger to Zuo'anmen Mengxue. Your Majesty even bestowed a few words on this."

After saying that, he turned around and went outside to get a scroll, and unfolded it in front of everyone, but it was the four characters of 'Investigating Things and Zhizhi'.

Jia Zheng took it in his hand, his hands were trembling with excitement, his eyebrows were beating wildly, he had received a lot of rewards from the palace, but this was written by the emperor to his son face to face, the meaning is naturally very different.

After a while, he regained his strength, turned to the old lady and said, "Mother, my son wants to offer His Majesty's calligraphy to the ancestral hall first."

"Okay, okay, it's time to let the ancestors know about it earlier!"

His strict father is like this, and Jia's mother, who has always been doting on Baoyu, is naturally very comforted. She calls Baoyu to her side and hugs her without letting go. She said with a smile: "My Baoyu is really promising. You won't be able to scold me in the future!"

Naturally, the Rongguo Mansion had no reason to hide this big happy event, not to mention that the emperor wanted to use this to dispel the rumors, even if he wanted to, he couldn't hide it.

So in just a few days, the news that Concubine Xiande's younger brother had entered the Sage's Dharma Eye spread throughout Sijiu City.

And I don't know if it's because the details are not disclosed, or because the civil servants in charge of public opinion don't like the emperor discussing craftsmen's common affairs with others, so the rumor only praises Jia Baoyu's talent, and doesn't mention Gewu, Mengxue, etc. thing.

As a result, Baoyu's sour poems and statements circulated in daily life were touted as not inferior to Tang and Song Dynasties.

Later, even the sisters in the brothel began to sing Jia Ci.

However, at such a young age, no matter how talented Baoyu is, how many decent poems can he save?
In order to attract customers, it is unavoidable to come up with some fake works, although most of them are not mediocre, but relying on the name of "Rongguofu Xiaoguojiu", they can still win a lot of applause.

After such a long time, two or three outstanding songs were actually assigned to Jia Baoyu's name, which further enhanced his talent.

Jia Baoyu was delighted at the false name that fell from the sky, but within a few days, many mediators would propose marriage proposals. They were all well-known and well-known ladies in the capital, and she didn't know how much sister Lin was offended. tears.

Baoyu didn't know how much he paid in private, but he couldn't get back together with Lin Daiyu. He regretted it and wished he could go outside to refute the rumors with great fanfare.

compare to.

Jiao Shun really enjoys himself these days.

In the yamen, after getting help from high-level officials, the matter of jointly making guns became official; in addition, there were relatives who came forward to sit in charge, and countless paperwork was saved.

Needless to say at home, Xiangling and Yuchuan were obedient and obedient, and even Qingwen was half-hearted, and he took the opportunity to comb her again.

As for outside the wall.

Jiao Shunyuan wanted to let the Xing family and Li Wan meet honestly, so that they could unite sincerely and protect each other in the future.

However, Li Wan refused to follow suit, so he had no choice but to replace him with Youshi.

I didn't want to come here, but it was a crooked attack.

Xing was already annoyed at Jia Zhen's shamelessness, but now seeing that he has turned into a tortoise, she immediately felt his heart pounding, and she also admired Jiao Shun even more.

She was always open-minded, but when she became interested, she also wanted to take revenge on Jia Zhen, so she naturally forgot her seniority and messed up human relations.

Even Jiao Shun, who claimed to have seen it before, was amazed by the small theater rehearsed by Xing's rehearsal - it can be seen that in his previous life, he was only a monthly card player, and he was still a little behind the krypton gold party.

…………

Fast forward to August 27th.

This morning, Mrs. Xing was holding the accounts, calculating the expenditures for the next month.

Before and after the festival, the family owed nearly a thousand taels of shortfall, most of which were used to buy daily necessities. Although the other party dared not come to collect the debt, but if they did not make up the outstanding debt, they would not continue to sell on credit.

But fortunately, the August Festival was not extravagant, and Jia She was confined in the Buddhist hall and could not go out to spend. After some calculations here and there, when the hole is filled with interest next month, there will be a lot of surplus left.

Counting this, Xing's resentment towards Jia Amnesty is even worse.

When she used to be so focused on catering to Jia She, she didn't think much of it, but now when compared with Jiao Shun, she really is like heaven and earth.

Not to mention the official income, Jiao Shun's private business with the Yunnan-Guizhou frontier army also reached its peak after several times of asking for directions. Qianxiang, Qianxiang and other places collected thousands of catties of spices.

Just this encounter is enough to share a net profit of 5 to [-] taels!

Even bringing You Shi has gained a lot of benefits.

On the other hand, look at yourself...

Pan Jinlian was on the Xing family's mind for a while!
Just as he was gnashing his teeth, the outsider suddenly reported that it was his uncle asking to see him.

Xing's heart was moved, and he hurriedly sent someone to invite Xing Zhong in, and asked frantically: "Brother, is there a clue to that matter?!"

Seeing that Xing Zhong took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve, he handed them forward half a foot tremblingly, then retracted four inches reluctantly, and said with a bitter face: "One end is a vicious soldier, and the other end Even with the Ningguo Mansion, I am terrified of taking this money, if Lord Jiao really finds out..."

Xing stepped forward to grab it with his hands, counted it a little, and saw that it was 700 taels of silver. Knowing that he had already completed half of his plan, he couldn't help being secretly proud.

"Brother, do you think I am willing to let you take risks?"

She suppressed her joy, and said seriously: "It's really the master who is eager to use the money, so he pushes you like this—but then again, if it wasn't for the master's face, how could this job fall on you?"

Although Xing Zhong didn't know the truth, he was tired of hearing similar words these days, so he couldn't help complaining: "But if this matter gets out, your niece's lifelong event..."

"If there is no such thing, it will not happen!"

Mrs. Xing said resolutely: "He has just been promoted to an official, and it is the time when he is a young man, and he is only thinking of marrying a lady from a great family. I am afraid that he will not look down on Xiuyan."

When Xing Zhong heard this, his face became more depressed.

Mrs. Xing was too lazy to comfort him, she waved her hand and said: "I am in a hurry to send the money to the master, so I won't leave my brother to sit for a long time."

Xing Zhong secretly hated this way of seeing off guests after collecting money, but he could only hold back his breath and said, "I want to see Xiuyan, but I don't have any during the August Festival." Can say a few words, your sister-in-law specially asked me to bring her something."

Xing was in the right mood, so he was about to respond casually.

But after thinking about it, he reminded: "Don't tell her about it. After all, she is young and doesn't know the importance. If it is accidentally spread, wouldn't she be asking for trouble?"

This is because they are afraid that when things come to an end, they will cause extra problems.

Xing Zhong nodded in agreement, seeing that his sister had no more words, he left and went to the second girl's courtyard.

And after he left.

While Xing was proud, he wanted to seek Jiao Shun's credit as soon as possible, and discuss with Jiao Shun how to expose this matter, so as to force Xing Xiu to repay the debt.

It's just that Jiao Shun is still on duty in the yamen, after all, distant water can't quench her near thirst, so she had no choice but to go to Ningguo Mansion to show off to You Shi.

The two have met several times with sincerity in the past half month, and they have nothing to hide from each other.

After retreating from the screen, Xing swindled her elder brother in order to take the opportunity to push her niece to Jiao Shun as a concubine.

Youshi was speechless when he heard it.

I thought it was absurd and despicable enough for me to plan to drag Li Wan into the water, but I didn't want to think that there are strong hands in the strong!

But after Youshi thought about it for a while, he pointed out the flaws in this poisonous plan.

It was the Xing family who forced Xing Zhong to withhold the money, and it was the Xing family who forced Xing Xiu to pay back the money.

If you really want to do this, let alone whether you will be seen as a flaw, it is inevitable to form a deep hatred with Xing Zhong's father and daughter!
It's fine if it's a one-shot deal, but Xing Xiuyan is going to be Jiao Shun's concubine, and there will be differences between relatives and estrangements in the future, but the Xing family, who initiated the villain, is afraid that it will be self-defeating.

When Xing heard this, she broke into a cold sweat, how could she not know the power of the pillow wind?

Immediately, he hurriedly asked You Shi for advice.

You Shi thought it over and said: "If you can find someone you trust and who is close to Miss Xing to encourage Miss Xing to entrust her to the Jiao family on your behalf, and you can sing a few good words from him, naturally there will be some leeway."

"This……"

Hearing what You said, Xing really thought of someone.

This person is none other than the big maid Siqi next to Yingchun.

Since Siqi was used by Jiao Shun, she should be regarded as one of her own, and since she gave up on Jia Yingchun, and knew that it was Xing Xiuyan who came up with the idea to rescue her, she has been getting very close to Xing Xiuyan in recent days.

only……

After all, that girl had been beaten by herself before, and she was stubborn, but she was afraid that she might not be obedient.

"How difficult is this?!"

After listening to her description, You Shi couldn't help laughing and said, "Since she only wants to marry to Jiao's family, this matter is actually easy."

So he went over with his ears and talked like this.

Xing was overjoyed when she heard the words, and immediately returned to Dongkua courtyard in a hurry, and ordered someone to find a chess player, and said straight to the point: "From now on, you will serve Miss Biao exclusively, and I will send yours to you tomorrow." The body deed is also transferred to her."

Although Siqi was a little confused when he heard the words, she had already given up on Jia Yingchun and wished to leave her side.

So he agreed without thinking too much.

Then he went back home and told Xing Xiuyan about it.

Xing Xiuyan wasn't surprised by this, because although Xing Zhong didn't say it clearly, he was obedient, probably because his father helped his uncle and aunt with some things, so the aunt took the initiative to raise her salary.

And seeing how generous my aunt is, she gave Siqi directly to her as a maid, it's probably not a small matter.

It is of course a good thing that my salary has improved, but Xing Xiuyan felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart, always feeling that this may not be a good omen...
