The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 280 Not enough time to think about the chapter name
When Jia Baoyu came back to his senses and mustered up the courage to go find Daiyu, it was already noon three days later.

In the end, no matter how hard he begged in front of the door, the door was still rejected.

Naturally, he wouldn't let it go, and after that, he came to pester her frequently for three days, and even begged the old lady to come forward to persuade her, but she finally saw her, but Lin Daiyu kept her face stern and serious, no matter how much he pretended to be crazy, it was just a fool. Two hard scenes.

Jia Baoyu was so anxious that he burned all five insides and seven orifices to smoke, and more than once argued in person that he wanted to break up with Daiyu, but within two days he couldn't help but ran to softly ask for each other.

But no matter how hard and soft he was, Daiyu just ignored him lightly, and even lost contact with Sanchun Chaiyun, only getting closer to Xing Xiuyan.

Siqi and Yuchuan often follow him.

Because the time has not come, Jiao Shun has not been revealed yet. He only often exposes Baoyu's "true face" in front of Zijuan and Xueyan.

Effects vary from person to person.

That Zijuan always thinks of her master in every way, and she is the most important maid of Lin's sister. In the original book, she even took the initiative to help Daiyu test Baoyu's mind, which made Baoyu go crazy for a long time.

But after all, she is the son of a family trained by the old lady, and she has an unspeakable affection for Baoyu, so she is very repulsed by Yuchuan's criticism of Baoyu, and she often argues with him.

She was even more vigilant about the small favors Yu Chuan gave her.

As for Xueyan, she was originally a direct descendant of the Lin Clan who was by Daiyu's side. These years, because of Daiyu's lack of trust, she was not trusted by her relatives in the Rongguo Mansion, and the exclusion she received was many times more serious than the "Wind Knife, Frost Sword". It is inevitable to harbor resentment.

Therefore, she didn't have much resistance to Yu Chuan's remarks, and after receiving some small favors, she quickly developed to the point of drawing inferences from one instance, providing Yu Chuan and Jiao Shun who was hiding behind a lot of ammunition.

Time was passing by quickly in this farce, and before I knew it, it entered the twelfth lunar month of Longyuan's four years.

The weather during the New Year's Eve was rising visible to the naked eye, and the major yamen offices also started their intensive closing inventory work, and Jiao Shun, as the head of the Ministry of Industry, was naturally even more busy without touching the ground.

The seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

Jiao Shun arrived at the Yamen early in the morning. First, based on the reports and applications from various departments and the quotas set by the Ministry, he drew up a plan for the distribution of benefits for the year before. A suggestion box was set up for officials to give feedback.

After all, it was a new official who took office, so he didn't dare to say that he would do his best, at least he had to make sure that the subordinates couldn't find too many faults.

As soon as this matter was arranged, he turned around and met with several outstanding representatives of disabled veterans in the lobby of the General Affairs Office, and discussed the matter of sending them to Zuo'anmen to study as military training instructors in the next year.

After seeing off the retired military officers in person, the promotions and ambassadors of several large state-owned factories in the capital were brought in by Liu Changyou to report on the progress of the preparations for the 'in-factory art performance'.

This is also one of the new policies that Jiao Shun vigorously promoted after he was promoted to the head of the Department of Affairs.

In front of a few officials who seem to understand but do not understand, he said that the content of the program must reflect the characteristics of the workshop, and must be able to represent the thoughts and wishes of the broadest group of workers.

It is best to create an atmosphere where the factory is the home and the factory is proud.

Seeing that the officials were getting more and more confused, Jiao Shun couldn't help laughing and said: "As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, I have already asked the work-students of Mengxue to rehearse a small play, and when you go to see it tomorrow, you will see it." I understand everything."

Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief. After all, they are all people-friendly officials who are in charge of thousands of people.

After sending away the leaders of these big factories, the Ordnance Department sent someone to urge them to inspect and accept the newly manufactured magazine reeds. In the past, I helped Zhang Zhangyan.

Before leaving the Ordnance Department's experimental workshop, the Department of General Administration sent an urgent report, saying that the miners in Hunan had gathered a crowd to rebel, and asked the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to coordinate and discuss a general policy to counter the rebellion.

It was not Jiao Shuneng's decision on this matter, so he hurriedly reported the news to the ministers and servants, and was ordered to call relevant departments to discuss countermeasures, but they quarreled until late at night, but they still couldn't make up their minds.

In the end, we can only elect a representative to negotiate with the Ministry of War, and then we will see the blame for the move.

When it was finally time to get to Sanya, Jiao Shun's mind almost became a mess.

When I got home, I lay down on my back. Xing Xiuyan knelt on the footrest and fed him dinner with spoonfuls and chopsticks.

After being so sluggish until around the second watch, Jiao Shun cheered up again, so he asked Mrs. Wang whether the compensation given by Mrs. Wang had been implemented in place now.

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to talk about a well-matched marriage in the future as compensation for Jiao Shun, but Jia Zheng kept urging her for the future, and Jiao Shun's attitude was much tougher than expected.

But this ready-made marriage is easy to touch?
She really wanted to take Lin Daiyu as the top of the tank, but the old lady's test was not easy.

As for Tanchun...

It was rejected by Jia Zheng earlier, and Mrs. Wang felt bad about bringing up the old matter again.

After much deliberation, he had no choice but to offer tangible benefits as early compensation—as for later compensation, he still promised to help Jiao Shun protect the media.

And her so-called benefit is to sell half of Tianxingjian's dry stock to Jiao Shun for 3 taels of silver.

This half of the dry stock can be divided into about 7000 taels of dividends a year. Even if there is a slight decline in the future, it will be enough to pay back the capital in five years. It's not too much to sell half free.

Of course, this is just the opinion of others.

Because Jiao Shun knew that the Rongguo Mansion in the original book hadn't had a good time for a few years, he didn't think about holding Tianxingjian's shares for a long time. benefit.

But when Xing Xiuyan heard him ask about this matter, she couldn't help frowning her eyebrows, and said helplessly: "I asked people to ask me several times, but the second mistress ignored me. Today, my wife walked away in person, and only saw Ping'er Miss——according to Miss Ping'er, the dividends are easy to talk about, but we want to send someone to follow the accounts, but I'm afraid..."

This was also within Jiao Shun's expectation. Wang Xifeng controlled the tire business with one hand, and he did not know how much benefit he got from it. How could others intervene in the critical moment of the end of the year?

What's more, because of the misunderstanding at the beginning, Wang Xifeng had already annoyed Jiao Shun.

"Don't disturb your wife again."

Just listened to Jiao Shun's order: "You continue to send people to ask every day. After a few days, when the heat is up, I will let Mr. Zheng and his wife come forward to put pressure on her. Then she can't help but not agree."

Xing Xiuyan obediently responded, and then hesitantly reported Lin Daiyu's recent situation.

"In the past few days, Second Master Bao has been standing in front of the door for a while every day, and all kinds of objects have never been broken. Although sister Lin has never paid attention to it, I can see that her heart has actually been shaken."

This time it was Jiao Shun's turn to frown.

Compared with Wang Xifeng's progress, Lin Daiyu's side is obviously more difficult for him.

Previously, I only thought about exchanging and stealing from the bottom of the pot, but when I actually operated it, I realized that the competitive advantages of the two parties were not at the same level at all.

Relying on his status, Baoyu came to the door every day to pester him, but he could only rely on Xing Xiuyan to attack him on the sidelines. There was a layer of separation, even if there were various means, it was difficult to use.

Sometimes Jiao Shun even thinks about giving up altogether, anyway, Lin Daiyu is beautiful, but in terms of figure, she is not the type she likes.

But the marriage was ruined by Baoyu for no reason. If he can't repay him in the same way, how can Jiao Shun vent his anger?
He pondered for a while, ordered someone to fetch a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and handed a revised letter to Xiang Ling: "You send this invitation to Xue's house early in the morning, and say that I am waiting for brother Xue at Zuo'anmen."

Jiao Shun originally worried that if the news of that night leaked out, it would make the "golden jade marriage" become a prophecy-although the marriage was spoiled by Jia Baoyu, he still coveted Baochai.

But looking at the current posture, if you continue to look around, I'm afraid it's really going to be out of reach!
…………

The words are divided into two parts.

But it was said that after Mrs. Xu left that afternoon, Wang Xifeng, who had been hiding in the room and refused to show her face, called Ping'er to him, and asked with a straight face, "what did Laiwang's daughter-in-law tell you just now? Learn from me!"

There is distrust in these words.

But Ping'er has gotten used to it recently, besides, Wang Xifeng suspected that she was secretly in touch with Jiao's family, which is not really wronged.

Therefore, I just pretended that I didn't hear the strangeness in the words, and replied politely: "Aunt Laiwang didn't say anything else, she just asked grandma when she was home and what she was up to recently."

"Humph~"

Wang Xifeng snorted coldly, and said in a strange way: "It really is a good servant I have trained. A dog that knows how to stop barking is more likely to bite people."

Ping'er was silent for a moment, and couldn't help persuading: "Grandma, after so many years of friendship, if there is anything you can't say openly, why bother..."

"You will be a good person!"

Wang Xifeng interrupted her with disdain, and sneered with a pretty face: "He is going to ride on my head, and I beg him to talk?!"

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Okay, you go to the old lady's side and wait, I'll go there when I'm done working here!"

When Ping'er took the order, Wang Xifeng became more and more restless alone in the room.

She has always regarded the tire business as her private property, not to mention taking whatever she wants, at least monopolizing the power.

Mrs. Wang proposed to pledge [-]% of the dry shares to the Xue family, and she felt very unhappy in her heart.

Later, it was learned that although the Xue family had become a major shareholder, they were willing to let the Rongguo Mansion continue to be at the helm, and they also voluntarily gave up the dividends for the first three years, and made an agreement that the dry shares could be redeemed at the original price at any time within five years. I have a secret obsession.

In a blink of an eye, Mrs. Wang sold half of the shares to Jiao Shun at a low price. Not only did she not have any additional conditions, but she also promised that Jiao Shun could send someone to settle accounts at any time.

This really poked Wang Xifeng's lungs!
You must know that in the past year, the money collected from Tian Xingjian has accounted for more than [-]% of her secret income!

Coupled with the experience of being humiliated at the top of the mountain that day, Wang Xifeng only wished that this bully master and slave would be beaten to ashes.

Speaking of...

It has been more than half a month, why is there no news from Jia Rong?

It was just a perfunctory way to ask people to ask questions several times.

Could it be that he failed to comprehend his hint that day?

Wang Xifeng hesitated for a moment, then decided to add more bargaining chips. Anyway, the left and right are going to promise him, and it doesn't matter if it is sooner or later.

So he deliberately changed into loose and bright clothes, and secretly sent someone to call Jia Rong.

But when Jia Rong was summoned by Sister Feng, she was so worried that she could shirk her teeth and refuse, but she didn't dare to offend Wang Xifeng directly.

In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and went to Rongguo Mansion, intending to find some excuses to perfunctory the past.

But as soon as he entered the door, his eyes were straightened!

I saw Wang Xifeng who seemed to have just bathed. She was wrapped in a flesh-colored long dress with carved flowers. charming.

Two flawless bare feet were half up in the air, swaying in a fluorescent way, every ups and downs seemed to be stepping on Jia Rong's heart, his mouth was dry, his hands and feet were trembling, and his mind was full of pounces on it. impulse.

"Brother Rong, do you have any clues about what I told you earlier?"

It wasn't until Wang Xifeng spoke that Jia Rong suddenly regained her composure, thinking that although this aunt is a fascinating beauty, if she really followed her way, she might have to lose her wife and lose her army.

For the benefit of seeing but not eating, I want to make myself...

"Ah~"

At this time, Wang Xifeng suddenly sighed quietly, and lightly patted his shoulder with his backhand and said in a coquettish voice: "I don't know why recently, this shoulder is so sore, Ping'er owes some strength after all, I want your uncle to help you pinch it, he Blindly prevaricating me——Brother Rong, why don't you try it?"

Seeing the hem that was more and more ready to come out due to her movement, Jia Rong swallowed her saliva forcefully, and for a moment threw all the weight out of the blue, and walked towards Wang Xifeng involuntarily, and subconsciously raised her arms from a distance of ten feet, aiming at But he gave up his shoulders and went straight to the core.

Seeing that he lost his soul, Wang Xifeng was secretly proud, and was quite happy to take revenge on Jia Lian. Instead of dodging, she puffed out her chest provocatively.

With this further encouragement, Jia Rong was about to take the first two steps.

"grandmother."

Just at this moment, Ping'er's voice suddenly came from outside: "The old lady asked you to come over earlier, saying that she has something to discuss with you."

Surprised, Wang Xifeng hurriedly pulled the blanket around her body, and curled up her tender feet.

Jia Rong stepped back five or six steps, and lowered her head in shock, not daring to look at Wang Xifeng again.

Wang Xifeng collected herself, and then raised her voice: "Understood, you go back to the old lady, I'll go right away."

I didn't want Ping'er to be silent for a while, but replied: "Since there won't be a long delay, I'll just wait for grandma to go there together."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng didn't know that she was deliberately trying to spoil her good deeds?
At the moment, the teeth were itchy with hatred, and while signaling Jia Rong to leave, he said angrily: "Then come in and talk!"

Once in and out, the two bumped into each other in front of the door.

Jia Rong still wanted to try to calm down and greet Ping'er, but Ping'er didn't even look at him, stepped across the threshold, and closed the door heavily.

Not to mention how Jia Rong returned home with fear.

But said that the two masters and servants in the house met each other's eyes.

Wang Xifeng's eyes seemed to burst into flames, and suddenly she threw the blanket on the ground, revealing her body that was upside down, and asked through gritted teeth, "Why, you have learned to bite back?! Do you want to go to the second master?" You sold your master before, so you can step on my shoulders and climb up?!"

As she said that, she slapped the table, stood up angrily, and said, "Dream your spring and autumn dream! Even if I die, I will never let your little whore get what you want..."

Just as she was talking, Ping'er suddenly knelt down in front of her.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously stopped talking.

Just listen to Ping'er said: "I know that grandma is so self-deprecating because of being hurt by the second master. I don't dare to obstruct it blindly. I just can't bear to see grandma entrusting someone to someone else! It's all up to now. Now I don't hide it from you, Brother Rong sold you to Brother Shun when he went back that day, and even volunteered to help Brother Shun deal with you!"

Wang Xifeng's complexion changed drastically, and he couldn't help denying it: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why did Brother Rong betray... Just because he is a slave, is Brother Rong crazy?!"

"Grandma has always underestimated Brother Shun, but who knows what he is doing now?"

Ping'er said helplessly: "Because of winning the title, he took advantage of the shortcomings of the Ningguo Mansion, and later he used the timber business to give him both grace and power. Even Uncle Zhen is afraid of him, let alone Brother Rong."

"What's more, Uncle Zhen has always treated Brother Rong harshly, and he has inhumane thoughts. If it wasn't for Brother Shun's help, I'm afraid the newly married Mrs. Xu would follow in the footsteps of Mrs. Qin, let alone Mr. Shun. He benefits."

"With all these things, how dare Brother Rong follow grandma to plot against Brother Shun?!"

"how come……"

Wang Xifeng sat back heavily on the Arhat's bed, her eyes full of disbelief. She thought that Jiao Shun's ability to win over Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang by taking advantage of the opportunity of working together in the Ministry of Industry was already a great thing.

Who would have thought that his influence in the Ningguo Mansion was even greater than that in the Rongguo Mansion!

Seeing the change in her expression, Ping'er suddenly had an idea in his mind, so he said with deep meaning: "Actually, this is just a piece of cake, Brother Shun's secret trick, I'm afraid grandma can't think of it."
