The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 303

In a blink of an eye, it is the 21st of the first month of the fifth year of Longyuan.

Although Lin Daiyu has taken everything lightly recently, she still couldn't help being ashamed and angry when she found that the specifications of Xue Baochai's birthday banquet were far beyond her usual routine.

If it wasn't for the old lady who insisted on taking her with her, she wouldn't even bother to participate in it, and wanted to just call her sick and ask for leave.

Although the Great Flower Hall in Rong Mansion has not been rebuilt, fortunately there are facilities in other courtyards available, so there is no need to go to Ningguo Mansion to borrow a venue.

The crowd surrounded Jia's mother and bustled into the garden. After the guests and hosts were seated, Wang Xifeng urged Baochai to play.

Xue Baochai declined repeatedly at first, but after she failed to decline, she deliberately chose "Drunken Beating the Mountain Gate", which the old lady loved to listen to.

Mother Jia was naturally very satisfied with this, but although Jia Baoyu had resigned to her fate, Lin Daiyu deliberately stayed away, and even Shi Xiangyun was no longer as close as before, so she couldn't help venting her evil anger on Xue Baochai. On the head of the birthday star.

He tilted his head and stared at Baochai, and said with disgust, "Lu Zhishen? You just love these plays, what's the point?"

Baochai explained with a smile: "This play has good scenes and better rhetoric."

Hearing the word ostentation, Baoyu turned his head contemptuously: "I just hate these lively scenes!"

If Sister Lin heard these words, she would probably be annoyed, but Baochai still explained softly: "If you say it's a lively show, you don't understand the order. This is a set of "Dian Crimson Lips". Needless to say, the rhetoric is wonderful, but there is a piece of "Parasite Grass" in the rhetoric that is extremely well filled, do you know that?"

Jia Baoyu punched the cotton, and hearing what Xue Baochai said was interesting, he immediately forgot his troubles, couldn't help but put his hand on Xue Baochai's forearm, and begged, "My dear sister, read it to me quickly!"

Xue Baochai raised her hand to dodge without a trace, pondered for a while, and then read: "I'm sobbing the hero's tears, and I'm leaving the family of a scholar. Thank you for your compassion, I was shaved under the lotus platform. There is no fate, and we are separated in a blink of an eye. I am naked, and I have no worries when I come and go. Where can I ask for it, the smoke and rain hat roll alone? As long as I am here, straw sandals and broken bowls will follow the fate!"

After Baoyu heard such an out-of-the-world libretto, he was so happy that he clapped his knees and clapped his feet and applauded. He also praised Baochai for knowing no books and knowing no books. The more and more beautiful Daiyu is alone.

When Baoyu listened to Xue Baochai's recitation, with red lips and white teeth and a soft accent, he didn't think much of it. When he really heard the ups and downs of the actors on the stage singing, something aroused in his mind for a moment, and he became dumbfounded like a mud-bodied wood sculpture holding a wine glass.

This scene was seen by a person at the table on the east side, who couldn't help but slammed the wine glass on the table, and secretly scolded Baoyu that it was useless, guarding these fairy-like women, but only cared about in a daze, if it was him... …

Thinking of himself made him even angrier.

Obviously it's my younger sister's birthday, but only Baoyu can sit with her, and my own brother can only congratulate him from afar.

This person is naturally Xue Pan.

Although he usually holds Baoyu everywhere, he is actually quite jealous of her, especially when he saw Lin Daiyu's true face a few days ago, his jealousy became even stronger.

It's not easy to vent to others, but thinking that Jiao Shun on the side was ruined, he couldn't help but shouted: "Brother Jiao, you have to rely on me, only a good man like you is good for my sister, what a pity I said nothing at home, otherwise..."

As he spoke, he shook his head again.

Although Jiao Shun secretly hated Baoyu's bad deeds, how could he be so superficially teased?

He raised his glass to Xue Pan with a smile and said, "What are you talking about on this day of great joy? You are in good health and you can't drink too much. Let's replace it with fermented glutinous rice after drinking this cup."

Xue Pan was also in the name of hosting Jiao Shun, so he managed to get permission to drink alcohol. Now that Jiao Shun said that he wanted to replace it with low-alcohol and slightly sweet fermented glutinous rice, his face collapsed immediately, and he repeatedly begged Jiao Shun for mercy.

Besides them, there were Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang at the banquet.

With all these pieces put together, what else can I say?The left and right are just rushing to the next three roads.

Jia Rong was accompanied by two old drivers, his father and his cousin Jia She, so the news was naturally the most well-informed. It was said that there were a lot of new foreign goods in Beijing, and there were all kinds of colors.

He himself only dared to choose the light-colored one, but Jia Zhen and Jia She had no taboos, praising the Kunlun slave, who was born ugly, but had delicate skin, and had an excellent experience when the lights were off.

Everyone listened to his description, most of them were respectful and insensitive, but Xue Pan sighed, deeply regretting that he fell ill because of falling into the water, so he missed such a novelty.

Just as they were talking, after a play was sung, the little actors came down to receive their rewards. Seeing that one of the little actors looked familiar, Wang Xifeng pulled her closer and asked narrowly, "Who do you think she looks like?"

"Like Sister Lin!"

Although others could see it, they didn't open their mouths. Pian Shi Xiangyun was an outspoken man who broke his joint on the spot, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Shi Xiangyun smiled for a while before realizing something was wrong, and turned his head to look at Daiyu, not expecting that sister Lin would leave the table and get up without looking back.

Shi Xiangyun got bored with the discussion, and left in a fit of anger.

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu got up and wanted to chase, but was stopped by Mrs. Wang's eyes.

The old lady next to him saw him sitting back down beside Baochai again, sighed helplessly, pointed at Wang Xifeng with a smile and scolded: "You caused the trouble, go and coax these two girls to me, otherwise I can't spare you!"

On the one hand, Sister Feng complained repeatedly, but on the other hand, she issued a military order, guaranteeing that the two of them must reconcile as before.

Now that the three of them were missing, the banquet gradually dispersed.

Because Jiao Shun was too lazy to listen to Xue Pan and Jia Rong's plan of "dark under the lights", he found a reason to part ways with them early on.

He used his handkerchief to support a few snacks, enjoying the scenery of the garden all the way, when he saw a rock around, he was suddenly stopped by a flustered little woman.

This woman is naturally Aunt Zhao.

She was also a daring one, otherwise she would not have secretly murdered Baoyu in the future, and even ran to the old lady to say: Brother is no longer useful, it is better to prepare for the funeral early.

If according to the plan, Caixia was in charge of standing guard, Aunt Zhao might not be so flustered.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, Mrs. Wang temporarily sent Caixia on an errand, and Aunt Zhao was left alone.

In this panic, she lost her feet for a moment, stumbled and almost fell into Jiao Shun's arms, when she finally stopped, she was only two or three feet away from Jiao Shun.

Aunt Zhao originally planned to put some distance away, but just as she was about to make a move, Jiao Shun backed away first.

Aunt Zhao became anxious for a moment, she quickly grabbed Jiao Shun's sleeve and said, "Master Jiao, go slowly, I have a big happy event to tell you!"

Jiao Shun paused, looked suspiciously at the little woman in front of him, and wondered if she had heard some news about him from Jia Zheng?
Aunt Zhao saw that Jiao Shun had stopped, so she let go of Jiao Shun's sleeve, raised her head and said with a smile on her face: "Congratulations, my lord Hexi, our master is thinking about marrying you!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiao Shun immediately knew why she came - it turned out that the mother-in-law and son-in-law had come!

Aunt Zhao said again: "It's just because of the matter of the second girl back then, the master was afraid that the old lady would be unhappy if he brought it up, but if Mrs. Jiao took the initiative to ask for a marriage, the matter would definitely come true!"

It turns out that it's not just about looking at each other, but also wanting to take the initiative to attack.

At this moment, Jiao Shun really felt the bonus brought about by his rising status.

only……

Up to now, the relationship between him and Jia Zheng has changed from being a vassal to mutual benefit. It is enough to maintain such a relationship. How it will end is still unclear.

Therefore, Sanchun has long been out of his consideration.

Of course, Rongguo Mansion is now in the middle of a fire, and Jiao Shun can't refuse directly, which hurts Jia Zheng's face.

He hurriedly put on a dignified face and said: "Little nephew has been greatly favored by the Rong Mansion, how can he bear to make the old lady unhappy for his own selfishness? Don't mention this matter again, don't mention it again!"

Although Jiao Shun felt that the Rongguo Mansion did not treat him with much kindness, on the contrary, in order to gain a firm foothold in the early stage, he gave Jia Zheng and his son some benefits - of course, he basically got it back from Li Wan.

But helplessly, he is not the only one who has the final say on the affairs of the world.

In the eyes of outsiders, Jiao Shun was born in the Rongguo Mansion, got the title from the Ningguo Mansion, and maybe even got the honor of the Xiande Concubine when he was appointed an official. This kind of kindness can be said to last a lifetime. Man pointing nose and scolding ungrateful.

And with Rongguo Mansion's current prosperity in the spring and autumn, if he really jumped, I'm afraid those people would curse him while wondering if he had lost his mind.

However, Aunt Zhao thought that Jiao Shun should be overjoyed when she brought up the matter in Jia Zheng's name, and she would be ecstatic. Who would have thought that he would be so "foolishly loyal" and even pretended to withdraw The posture of leaving.

Aunt Zhao was angry and annoyed, and she didn't care about the defenses of men and women. She puffed her chest up and slammed into it, and asked like a cannonball: "Why are you so stubborn! How many people outside are jumping high and still can't climb up?" Well, for such a great event, what can I do if I ask the old lady to say a few words?!"

"What's more, even if the old lady wants to be annoyed, she won't be annoyed by you. When the time comes, the master will stand in front of you. You just wait to be the son-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion. What's there to be hypocritical about?!"

"Our three girls are the first among the sisters in terms of appearance and knowledge. If you don't know how to make progress, I... our master may not be willing to give it to you!"

Every time she said a word, she took half a step forward, and after a few words were finished, she almost pushed her conscience under Jiao Shun's nose.

With her figure and appearance, how could Jiao Shun, that wicked person, not steal his eyes?
What's more, you don't need to steal your eyes, you just need to lower your head to get a clear view.

Aunt Zhao noticed that his eyes could not stop sliding down, she was startled at first, and then seemed to find a breakthrough, she put on the face of an Israeli waiter with her water snake on her waist: "She is still young, wait for me to teach her two If you marry her in the past year, you must be charming, if you spread it out, even a square man like our master can't hold it!"

hiss~
What kind of bullshit is this? It's okay to talk about your daughter, but you still use Jia Zheng as an example of a father!
Jiao Shun gasped when he heard this, and his eyes subconsciously slipped again, but Aunt Zhao pulled out her chest without avoiding it, as if she wanted to demonstrate her skills to her future son-in-law.

hiss~
Jiao Shun took another breath, and then resolutely refused: "The third girl is like a heaven and man, but Jiao's background is humble, if she insists on being high-ranking, it will only attract criticism, if the third girl's innocence is damaged, It's Jiao's fault."

Although this move hits Jiao Shun's strengths, Aunt Zhao is no better than Li Wan in terms of appearance, and she may not be Madam Xing's opponent in terms of inner charm. Jiao Shun has these two distinguished ladies, how can he be willing to do it for Zhao again? Aunt willing to degenerate?
"There's a fart in the name of innocence!"

Aunt Zhao was so angry that she wanted to hit someone with the ball again, but Jiao Shun quickly avoided it first, so she could only stomp her foot and scold: "What are you afraid of?! Since I came to the master, how many times this dirty and smelly stuff has been thrown over me? Safely and steadily gave birth to a son and a daughter for the master? Now the master is in my house for more than [-] days a month, and the Taisang bears the false name of being a wife but stares helplessly. It can be seen that any reputation is false. What you get in your mouth is the real deal!"

These words are not without reason.

It's just that the calculations in Jiao Shun's heart are more 'beneficial' than hers, fame and benefits are also necessary, and both hands must be tough!
Shaking his head again and again, he said righteously: "Auntie be careful, I don't dare to listen to these words anymore."

As he said that, he turned his head and fled as if flying away.

"you you……"

Aunt Zhao rushed a few steps behind, intending to call Jiao Shun, but she was afraid of disturbing others, so she didn't dare to yell loudly, so she beat her chest and cursed, and then returned home angrily.

However, after the two of them left, Wang Xifeng turned out not far away.

It turned out that Sister Feng persuaded Daiyu Xiangyun with a few words, and wanted to go back to the other courtyard to report to the old lady, but on the way, she ran into Aunt Zhao sneaking around, so she followed her secretly, listening to all the answers just now .

She never thought that Aunt Zhao was so sneaky that she wanted to promise Tanchun to Jiao Shun-although this may not be Jia Zheng's idea, since Aunt Zhao dared to come to protect the media, she must be sure to let Jia Zheng agreed to the marriage.

What was even more unexpected was that Jiao Shun flatly refused such a god-given opportunity in front of him!
Wang Xifeng didn't believe any of Jiao Shun's high-sounding words. In her opinion, there was only one possibility that this guy would reject this marriage, and that was that he had a better choice.

But this judgment made Sister Feng unbelievable for a while.

When rumors about Yingchun and Jiao Shun spread the year before last, she even scolded Jiao Shun as a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, but in just one year, Tanchun, who was more outstanding than Yingchun, was abandoned by him like a shoe!
Originally, in Wang Xifeng's view, Jiao Shun was able to control Jia Rong because he had the handle of the Ningguo Mansion; he drew Ping'er to rebel because of the feelings of being together since childhood.

And it wasn't until this moment that Sister Feng finally felt the fact that Jiao Shun's status had risen rapidly.

No wonder he has the guts to tease himself!
