The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 323 Unworthy of all kinds of big commitments
[There is hope today, but it is also very likely that tomorrow will make up...]

After the bewitching incident, although Wang Xifeng recovered quickly and regained control of life and death in the family, she was always in a state of anxiety.

Mrs. Gein Wang has always been her biggest backer in the mansion here, if not for Mrs. Wang's full support, how could her nephew and daughter-in-law surpass Li Wan to take charge of the family?

Now Mrs. Wang's reputation is bad, and she is under house arrest by Jia Zheng in the back house. Although it has not affected Wang Xifeng for a while, it has undoubtedly shaken the foundation of Wang Xifeng's "government".

These days, Wang Xifeng always sees that the stewards are not as respectful as before, so he sent a group of people down, and the frightened stewards were all silent, and finally Wang Xifeng began to suspect that they were slandering and plotting...

This afternoon, she found some mistakes, and deducted half a month's wages from the two women in charge. The two women in charge were downcast, but she herself was sweating profusely.

After dismissing the person, Wang Xifeng scolded the girl who was playing the fan: "What's wrong with you not eating? Go, put that ice basin in the middle, even if the person is useless, at least fan some cool air!"

It has already entered summer on the 25th of last month, and now more than 20 days have passed. Although it is not yet the hottest time, it has already reached more than 30 degrees in the afternoon.

The servant girl put down the fan and was about to move the ice basin, but was stopped by Ping'er, who persuaded: "This ice basin is wet and cold, so I dare not use it too much. How can I fan it up close to my body? If grandma feels stuffy , might as well go to the garden to relax, and visit the third girl along the way."

When sister Qiao was ill, Ping'er took care of her without taking off her clothes, and Jiao Shun took the risk to save her, which changed Wang Xifeng's outlook from now on, so the relationship between the master and servant has been greatly improved.

Wang Xifeng frowned slightly upon hearing this: "What's wrong with the third sister?"

"It is said that I suffered from the wind and cold at Zhao Guoji's house yesterday." Ping'er hesitated a little at this point, and then whispered: "I heard that Aunt Zhao has been guarding the third girl."

As soon as Wang Xifeng heard this, she knew what she meant, immediately snorted disdainfully, and directly changed the subject to ask Jiao Shun: "Brother Shun is going to see off Sister Yun, it's time to come back, right?"

While talking, he waved his hands at the maids and maids on both sides, and the servants and maids quickly retreated.

Ping'er was a little confused, but answered honestly: "I haven't come back at this time, I think Bao Ling Hou has left a guest. If I have too much wine at noon, I may not be sure when I will come back."

Wang Xifeng nodded slightly, first wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief, and then stretched it in along the collar to wipe the cracks.

At the same time, he said: "The master closed the door to thank guests recently, and put his wife under house arrest. No matter who tried to persuade him, he would not let him in. But my brother went there the day before yesterday, and he saw his wife. This morning, the master is in trouble again." People went to the yamen to sell the holidays, which shows that they obeyed him."

As she said that, she raised her eyes and glanced at Ping'er: "When he comes back, you can ask him to say a few words for the wife in front of the master. If the wife can really get out of trouble with this, naturally she won't treat him badly."

Only then did Ping'er know her intentions, and she couldn't help but wonder: "I'll try my best, but after all, it's not the same as before, even Uncle Wang may not be able to order him to move him, let alone me?"

"Hmph~ Just lean towards him!"

Wang Xifeng snorted coldly, and then said after deliberation: "Three girl, you can go for me - if that Aunt Zhao knows how to advance and retreat, you can give her some face, if she is too rampant, you can come back Tell me, I have my own way to deal with her!"

…………

at the same time.

Jia Zheng was also asking about Jiao Shun's whereabouts, and when he learned that Jiao Shun hadn't come back, he simply ordered people to guard the front and back doors, and invited Jiao Shun to see him as soon as he came back from Baolinghou's residence.

After Jiao Shun's persuasion that day, he was also worried that he would miss the opportunity to be promoted, and he would not be able to realize his ambitions.

And I also heard that the boss was looking forward to it day and night, and he didn't hesitate to ask someone to beg him to hand it over. He barely had a step to hide his shame, so he sent someone to the yamen early this morning to cancel the holiday, and planned to go to the village to clean up the officials tomorrow. Division 'usurping power and seizing the throne'.

However, after the vacation was canceled, Jia Zheng became a little worried about gains and losses again, thinking that he hadn't gone out for more than a month, and he didn't know what was going on in the yamen, and these days he was drunk and daydreamed every day, and he never thought about what the new official would do after he took office.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he wanted to discuss it with Jiao Shun.

But Jiao Shun didn't come back after waiting and waiting, and because of the unbearably hot weather, Jia Zheng simply rolled up the "Wild Old Man's Words", wanting to relax in the gazebo in the front yard to cool off.

Unexpectedly, one foot in the door and one foot out of the door, just bumped into Jia Baoyu going to the Grand View Garden dejectedly, his old face sank, and he scolded: "Stop!"

Jia Baoyu recognized that it was his father's voice, and at first his spine shivered with fright, and when he turned around tremblingly, he saw Jia Zheng's gloomy face, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Seeing this, Jia Zheng became more and more displeased, and yelled with his hands behind his back, "You're so good, what are you doing with your head down? Look at the thoughtful and gloomy look on your face. What are you unsatisfied with? Why are you uncomfortable? There is no reason for this, Why?!"

Because Jia Baoyu was stabbed by Daiyu in the East Mansion, he was unhappy at lunch, so he ate a few more glasses. , but it always seems to be separated from the brain by a layer, and I am speechless.

Jia Zheng became more and more annoyed, and was about to explode when he saw Zhou Rui rushing towards him. He thought it was Jiao Shun who had returned, but Zhou Rui reported, "The long history of Zhongshun Prince's residence is here, and he sent a message to see the master." !"

Jia Zheng was puzzled when he heard this, thinking to himself that he had never had any contact with Prince Zhongshun's mansion in the past, why did he suddenly send someone here today?
While thinking, he hurriedly said: "Please come to Rongxi Hall to talk!"

Soon.

Jia Zheng and the governor of the palace, Shi, sat down as guests and hosts in the Rongxi hall. They had just served tea, and before they had time to exchange polite greetings, the governor of the palace, Shi, said straight to the point: "Your official is not here to disturb your residence, but to I came here at the king's order, and I have one thing to ask - for the sake of the prince, I also ask the political master to agree, so that not only the prince knows your favor, but even the officials are grateful."

Jia Zheng became more and more puzzled when he heard the words, this king of Zhongshun was relying on being his own uncle, he had always been domineering without any scruples, yet why did he still ask for something on his own head?
However, he didn't dare to neglect King Zhongshun's request, so he hurriedly got up and smiled and said, "Since my lord came here by the king's order, I don't know what to say. I hope my lord will make it clear, and I can follow the orders for my humble position."

But the chief historian waved his hand and said: "You don't need to do it, just a word from your lord. There is a beautiful official who sings Xiaodan in our mansion. It was our prince who managed to get it from the inner mansion. This opera singer has always It’s good to be in the mansion, but now I don’t know where to go every three days.”

"We ordered people to investigate outside, and eight out of every ten people in the city said that he was very close to that son Peiyu in the Zun's mansion recently!"

"The lower officials know that the Zunfu is no better than other families, so it is not easy to ask for it, so I told the lord, and the lord said: If there are other actors, it is fine to have a hundred, but this official is a gift from the inner government, so I dare not give it away without authorization—— If your son really loves him, you might as well ask the Holy Majesty to issue a decree, and then our prince will naturally give it to you!"

As he said that, Chang Shi sneered again and again.

Jia Zheng was startled and angry when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered someone to find Baoyu, and shouted in front of the chief historian: "Damn slave! You don't study at home, but you will still do these lawless things outside. Come on! That Qiguan is the loyal and obedient prince, you are so worthless, how dare you lure him out for no reason, and bring disaster to the family!"

Baoyu was taken aback, and the wine was seven points sober. He shook his head quickly and said, "My son really doesn't know about this. It's the first time I've even heard of the word Qiguan!"

Before Jia Zheng had time to ask, Chang Shi on the side sneered: "Young Master, you don't have to cover it up. Either you hide at home, or you know his whereabouts. If you tell us earlier, we will suffer less. Don't you think of your virtue?"

Baoyu still denied it.

That Chang Shi's face turned stern: "There is evidence here first, so why should you deny it? The official originally wanted to save some face for the young master in front of the boss, but now that you don't know this person, how dare you ask Qi?" How did the official's red scarf get into the young master's waist?!"

Not wanting such a secret to be found out by the other party, Jia Baoyu was frightened for a moment, and thought to himself: Since he even knows such a secret, he probably can't hide other things from him, so it's better to send him away quickly. Don't tell me anything else!
So he murmured: "Since your lord knows his details, how come you don't even know about his buying a house? In the eastern suburbs, twenty miles away from the city, there is a place called Red Sandalwood Castle. The house, I don’t know if it’s hiding there.”

After speaking, thinking of the close friendship between him and Jiang Yuhan in the past, he burst into tears in shame and shame.

After hearing this, Chang Shi laughed and said, "Since the young master said so, he must be there! I'll go and look for it. If you have it, let it go. If you don't, I'm afraid you'll come to bother me again!"

Saying that, he hastily bid farewell and left.

Jia Zheng was on the sidelines, his eyes slanted with anger, and while sending that Chang Shi out, he turned around and shouted: "Don't move around here, I have something to ask you when I come back!"

And at the same time that Jia Zheng had just sent off the chief minister of the palace, turned around and hurried back to the hall, Jiao Shun happened to be riding back from Bowlinghou's mansion on horseback.

Since the horse was borrowed, he had to return it first.

I don't want to be stopped by Jia Zheng's servant as soon as he led the horse into the corner gate of the front yard, saying that Jia Zheng had ordered him early in the morning, and when he came back, please go over and talk.

Jiao Shun was in a state of shock at the time, thinking that something had happened to Dong Chuang, he dragged the boy around and slapped him a few words, and then he was a little relieved.

I don't want to just find the door of Rongxi Hall, and hear Jia Zheng shouting inside: "Go away, I will do it myself!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a crackling sound inside, mixed with an indistinct muffled hum.

At the same time, the two servants also retreated from the living room in embarrassment.

Seeing this, the boy who led the way was about to go up to ask what happened, but Jiao Shun had a flash of inspiration, thinking of the plot in the original book where Jia Baoyu was beaten for hiding Jiang Yuhan.

So he hastily stopped the young man, and said seriously: "It's probably Uncle Shi who is punishing someone, let's wait for a while, and don't touch this bad luck."

After speaking, he dragged the young man to a corner and listened carefully to the movement in the living room.

Hearing the crackling sound of boards inside, Jiao Shun felt relieved, and secretly thought that this brat who was married to a bad guy had learned his lesson!
About thirty or forty boards were played, and he listened to the coaxing and persuasion of several disciples inside, trying to get Jia Zheng to extinguish his thunderous anger.

But Jia Zheng scolded: "Ask him what he did, but you can't forgive him! You people have spoiled him all the time, and you still come to persuade me at this stage! Tomorrow, you will have to wait until he kills the king and father." , if you don’t persuade me, it won’t work!”

"Today, if someone persuades me again, I will give Baoyu all this property, and then I will shave off all these troublesome temple hairs, and find a clean place to live with this remaining life, so as to avoid the crime of humiliating my ancestors and rebellious sons." .”

Seeing that he was really angry, those diners couldn't persuade him, so they went out and called the two young men to report to Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang!

But at this stage, Jiao Shun couldn't continue pretending to be deaf and dumb, so he had to reluctantly come out, pretending to be surprised and asking, "Why? Was it Brother Bao who was beaten inside?"

Those diners didn't know that he had been gloating on the sidelines for a long time, and when they saw Jiao Shun, they seemed to have seen a savior, and they gathered around and said:
"Isn't that right, I heard that King Zhongshun sent someone here, and I don't know what they said, but it provoked the master to go to war!"

"It's good that Uncle Jiao is here! Hurry up and persuade the master, if you go any further, you will be beaten to death!"

"That's right, the master usually listens to Uncle Jiao the most, so you are the only one who can persuade him!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's not too late, it's not too late!"

Being urged by them repeatedly, Jiao Shun could only put on an obligatory posture and strode into the Rongxi Hall.

I saw Jia Zheng was sweating profusely, but he was still swinging the board in his hands desperately. Baoyu was lying on the spring stool with his mouth gagged, his trousers were covered with blood, and he was in a semi-comatose state. humming.

Jiao Shun admired it as fast as he could, then stepped forward to grab Jia Zheng and said, "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, you can't fight any more!"

"Alas~ My family is unlucky, my family is unlucky!"

Seeing that it was Jiao Shun, Jia Zheng sighed, but still refused to let go of the board in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't stop me, I'll kill him today, so as not to cause trouble to the family in the future!"

Although Jiao Shun wished that he would hit him a few more times, since he had already made his debut, how could he be as useless as those few disciples?
Immediately, he changed his strategy and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Shi, I heard that this matter is related to the Palace of Zhongshun? Counting the days, His Majesty is afraid that Brother Bao will be called into the palace again. If you break him, wait for His Majesty to investigate ..."

When Jia Zheng thought about it carefully, his hair stood on end!
Although he never questioned what his son and the emperor had done in the palace, he actually had some speculations in his heart. If the emperor knew that Jia Baoyu was hooking up with the actors of Zhongshun Palace, it would be unseemly...

Thinking of the possible consequences of this incident, he really wished he could kill Baoyu with a blow, but firstly, he was reluctant to kill him, and secondly, even doing so would not help the matter, and it might even cause even greater disasters.

So he gritted his teeth and got lucky for a long while, Jia Zheng suddenly dropped the board in his hand, slapped himself in the face fiercely, and muttered: "Let you not be strict in discipline, make you incapable of teaching your children, let you..."

This crackling and fighting left and right stunned everyone in the room.

Just at this time, someone shouted outside the door: "You beat him to death first, and then you kill me, wouldn't it be clean?!"

Before the shouts fell, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, and Chai Dai Erchun filed in.

The old lady was sweating profusely and had an angry face, but when she saw Jia Zheng slapping herself, she couldn't help being stunned on the spot.
