The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 268 Repentance

The back house of Rongfu.

Seeing the sunset, Mrs. Wang gradually became a little uneasy. According to past experience, her son should have returned from the palace at this time, but why...

She clutched her handkerchief tightly and paced back and forth a few times, and was about to send someone to check out Donghua Gate when Jin Chuan yelled in and reported, "Madam, Madam, there was a message from the palace just now." , the emperor has left our second master to stay in the palace, and he said that he is very interested, and will have a talk with the second master at night by candlelight!"

Stayed in the palace by the emperor? !
Mrs. Wang's face was full of light when she heard the words, the fine lines around her eyes became lighter, and she recited 'Amitabha' a few more times, and then she sat back on the couch feeling relieved.

According to the calculations, the first meeting was on August [-]th, the second meeting was at the end of September, the third meeting was in mid-October, the fourth meeting was on the third day of November, and today [the tenth day of November] is the fifth meeting .

Obviously, the interval between the two summons is getting shorter and shorter, and now he is even staying in the palace by the emperor. What does this mean?Baoyu Holy Jubilee is prosperous!
Jiao Shun's family has been handed down for more than a year, and he has never heard of the emperor summoning him again and again, let alone talking at night while holding candles!

After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang's heart became more and more full.

Originally he was hesitant to completely cut off the Xue family's thoughts, but now it seems that there is no reason to hesitate at all.

Baoyu's holy family is like this, what kind of lintel is not worthy of it?

In the future, it is not impossible for the Lord to be a son-in-law!
only……

The two sisters have always been kind to each other, and now they still have to ask Xue's family to welcome their daughter's relatives, and they must not cause discord between the two families because of such things.

It would be best to give the Xue family some compensation and comfort.

And since the marriage is broken, it is natural to find love in the marriage. It just so happens that the object of love is still ready-although Brother Shun is not as beautiful as Baoyu Tianzhong, but with his future prospects and influence in the Ministry of Industry, he is also It is worthy of Xue Jialiang.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel regretful. If she had known that Baoyu had such great fortune, she should not have flatly refused when her husband proposed to marry Jiao Xue and his family earlier.

At that time, even if I mentioned a sentence or two casually as a joke, it would be much cheaper to operate now.

Now……

No matter how euphemistic the words are, the Xue family will believe that it is because Baoyu has won the holy family, so the Jia family "dislikes the poor and loves the rich" despises Baochai, and wants to leave the Xue family to climb another high branch.

Considering that the theory of a golden and jade marriage was widely spread before, I am afraid that everyone in the whole family will speculate like this.

This is a bit embarrassing for my family, and it will inevitably affect Baoyu's reputation.

Unless the Xue family first made a marriage contract with others and voluntarily gave up this so-called golden relationship, then all criticisms would naturally fall on the Jia family.

The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more she felt that this was the perfect solution, so she was going to find Jia Zheng to discuss the rules, so she got up and asked, "Has Brother Shun been here?"

"Not yet, the master is waiting in the hall."

After hearing Jin Chuan's reply, Mrs. Wang didn't hesitate anymore, she hurriedly put on her coat and left the warm pavilion, and turned to the living room in the middle of the room.

Jia Zheng was holding the scroll in his hand, frowning and studying hard. Seeing his wife suddenly come in from outside, his frown deepened. He put the book aside and asked, "What's the matter? Don't worry about Baoyu, he should be back tomorrow morning." gone."

The cover of the book looked very familiar, as if it was the "Xin Zhuan Bai Gong Tu Zhi" specially given by the emperor when his son entered the palace a few days ago.

You know, for so many years, apart from the Four Books and Five Classics, Jia Zheng dismissed even poems and songs as heresy, but now he is patiently studying such ingenious tricks...

It seems that while Baoyu's holy family is flourishing, his master is also forging ahead!

Father and son are of the same heart, so why worry about the family's prosperity?
Mrs. Wang felt more confident, but Jia Zheng noticed that her eyes were on the book, but couldn't help sighing: "Sure enough, everyone has different talents. Brother Shun has never read the Four Books and Five Classics, and he is very interested in poetry. Gefu is even more ignorant, but these craftsmen's skills can be learned by analogy."

"Originally, the Ordnance Department was overwhelmed by him, and he came up with many complicated plans on purpose, trying to give him a warning. Unexpectedly, Brother Shun seemed to have a plan in his heart. He not only deleted the complicated and simplified the answer, but also proposed many improvements. ..."

"master."

Seeing that Jia Zheng began to praise Jiao Shun every day again, Mrs. Wang quickly interrupted him, and said with a smile: "In this way, brother Shun really has limitless future, if so, it can be a good match."

Jia Zheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a sneer, "You don't mean to be a good match for the Xue family, do you?"

Seeing her husband pointing out her thoughts without any shyness, Mrs. Wang was a little embarrassed, but considering that it was related to her son's future, this little bit of embarrassment was nothing.

At that moment, she also cut to the chase and said: "Because there is still some use for Xue's family, for the sake of Baoyu and the reputation of our mansion, it is not easy to speak out directly, so I wondered if I should let Brother Shun and Xue's family move around more. , if a good marriage can be achieved, then naturally..."

"Humph~"

Jia Zheng snorted coldly, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "When I mentioned this matter at the beginning, you obstructed me in every possible way, and now you put on such a face, do you really think Brother Shun and the Xue family are easy to fool?"

"This……"

Mrs. Wang said with a sneer: "At the beginning, the concubine didn't think well, but Baochai and Brother Shun are indeed a good match. Why don't you talk about Brother Shun, Baochai is something we have grown up with underestimated, and we can only learn character." Even the means of managing the family are all top-notch—such a woman is hard to find outside with lanterns on, we are willing to come forward to broker this marriage, how can Brother Shun not be unwilling?"

"I'll let you tell the truth and the irony. Since you are so eloquent, why should I come forward?" Jia Zheng said, pointing outside and saying, "When brother Shun comes, you can discuss it with him." !"

In fact, Mrs. Wang would like to bypass Jia Zheng and discuss this matter directly with Jiao Shun face to face, but the secular rules are like this, and she is also known as a square person, so she doesn't want to be like the eldest wife Xing, who disregards decency in order to pay off debts. Private meeting outside men.

Immediately he laughed and said: "Master always needs to pave the way, so that I can open my mouth with Brother Shun."

Jia Zheng sneered noncommittally, and at this moment it was reported that Jiao Shun had come to attend the appointment, so he tossed his sleeves: "You go back first."

Mrs. Wang bowed slightly, and made a final decision in her mouth: "Then I am in the warm pavilion, waiting for the master to call."

Seeing that Jia Zheng didn't intend to refute, she took two steps back, turned around and left the living room.

After returning to the warm pavilion, Mrs. Wang first typed out the draft, and then revised it several times after deliberation. She felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and she was ready to go out at any time.

Unexpectedly, he waited left and right, but Jia Zheng sent someone to invite him.

Seeing the mid-moon, she was really impatient to wait, so she turned away from the left and right, and went to the front of the living room to spy alone, only to find that the cups and plates in the room were messy, and there were several empty wine jugs on the table. Slipping under the table, even Jiao Shun's eyes stared straight.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang stomped her feet angrily. She gritted her teeth and didn't wait for the summons, she just opened the door and walked in.

Seeing his wife coming in from the outside, the drunken Jia Zheng's eyes suddenly became clear, he got up unsteadily, and asked knowingly: "Ma'am, why are you here? I, I..."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly fell back to the chair, and lay down on the table, snoring like thunder in an instant.

Husband and wife are one body, although they have become less intimate in recent years, how can Mrs. Wang not see what Jia Zheng is up to?
He has the best face in his life, and he never wants to show the face of "hating the poor and loving the rich" in front of the younger generation, so he simply pretended to be incapable of drinking, and waited for himself to come forward to settle the matter, so he could pretend he didn't know about it afterwards.

Mrs. Wang secretly hated her, but for the sake of her son's future, she couldn't follow Jia Zheng's example.

Just as he was thinking about how to speak, Jiao Shun seemed to have just seen her at this moment, so he hurriedly got up and handed over a thin account book, and said with his tongue out, "Auntie came just in time, I don't know if there is any happy event today, I Uncle Shi passed out before he presented the estimated accounts to Uncle Shi."

Seeing that although his speech was slurred, but his organization was still clear, Mrs. Wang was relieved, took the account book and turned it over, and said smoothly: "My master and I really don't know anything about this business. Check and check carefully——If my nephew is free, can you help me to go into the details?"

Before Jiao Shun could speak, she purposely added: "At that time, the Xue family will also be led by Bao girl, and you young people will make it clear face to face, and it will save us old fools from getting involved."

Jiao Shun shook his head when he heard the words: "Uncle Shi and Auntie are both in their prime of life, they will grow old wherever they are, let alone being confused."

Then he hesitated and said: "I'm face to face with Miss Xue...I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

"What's wrong?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Your mother and her mother are not sisters, but sisters are better than sisters. This is the good of the family. Besides, both of our elders are here, and no one can find out."

Speaking of this, her words were a little more explicit: "It's time for you to start a family and start a business now, and you have to take advantage of some opportunities."

Before Jiao Shun could speak, Mrs. Wang said decisively: "The matter is settled like this first, let's spare your time, and we can discuss it later when we rest!"
