The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 348 Jiao Changqing's 'first' entry into the Grand View Garden

Jiao Shun pressed Xing Xiuyan who was about to get up from the table, and said with a smile: "You eat yours, the master and wife are not at home, I'll just go to the main room to meet the guests."

After speaking, he went outside in two steps in three steps, and greeted Ping'er to the living room of the main room.

When Qingwen finished serving the tea and exited the door, Jiao Shun immediately pulled Ping'er into his arms, pouted and gnawed on the cherry lips.

Ping'er rejected it with a look of disgust, and said: "What are you doing in the blue sky? I have serious business here!"

Jiao Shun relentlessly continued to harass her, while laughing: "I miss my sister all day long, and it's so easy to see her today. It's the right thing to comfort the suffering of lovesickness, and the right thing to wait for!"

The two hugged and gnawed for a long time before Ping'er backed away from Jiao Shun hissing and gasping, and said angrily, "I said that I have something serious to do, but you just... what kind of smell is this, why is it fishy?"

Jiao Shun chuckled, biting her silver ingot-like earlobe, and gave a brief name of the dish.

After hearing this, Ping'er spat a few times, raised his fist and punched Jiao Shun's chest, and said coquettishly, "I'm going to die! I'm using these dirty things to humiliate people!"

"Why is it a dirty thing? It's clearly a good thing!"

Jiao Shun scowled, and then laughed again: "It's something that's good for me and you, otherwise, if I'm not good, how can you be good?"

Hearing his puns, Ping'er said some embarrassing things, and rushed forward to fight with Jiao Shun again in embarrassment, but it ended in a wet kiss as expected.

It was not until the second separation that Ping'er finally had time to talk about Yuanyang's plan, and then exhorted: "Be careful, if her brother sees it, I'm afraid it's not safe."

"Sister, don't worry, I know the severity."

Jiao Shun responded, but in his heart he didn't think so, secretly thinking that the mandarin duck is not an ordinary woman, and if she looks forward and backward, she doesn't know how long it will take to make her give up, at this time, she has to not take the usual path, and do the opposite!

After a pause, he remembered another matter, and hurriedly said, "By the way, what happened to the maritime trade contract?"

Ping'er immediately frowned, clutching the handkerchief tightly and hesitatingly said: "Second Mistress has already written the deed, and said that after you press your fingerprints, she will deposit it in the pawnshop of Nan'an Palace, and then send the certificate One is divided into two, half is kept in my hands, and the other half is kept by herself."

"The tens of thousands of taels of silver stipulated in the contract?"

"5 taels!"

Ping'er gritted his teeth, raised his right hand and shook it, complaining, "More than half of them were stolen from Tian Xingjian in the past two years."

Jiao Shun smiled when he heard the words: "Her ability to borrow chickens to lay eggs is really amazing."

"or……"

At this time, Ping'er couldn't help but persuaded again: "Why don't we forget it, we are doing well now, why bother to... eh~!"

In the middle of speaking, Jiao Shun covered his mouth with his hand.

Seeing Jiao Shun's decisive face, he said decisively: "If you can stay with my sister forever, what's the point of going bankrupt? My sister must never say this again in the future!"

"Brother Shun!"

How did Ping'er know that he hesitated for a long time, and even wanted to reject Wang Xifeng?

Tears filled the eyes of being moved at the moment, and they flung themselves into Jiao Shun's arms for a while, until Hongyu raised her voice outside the door to report that the steward of the East Mansion had come to invite her, and the two reluctantly parted.

…………

A quarter of an hour later, at the school grounds of Rongguo Mansion.

"Hold on, hold on to the back..."

"Let you hold the back seat, who told you to hold it tightly, how can you let it go forward?!"

"Step, step, step hard, idiot! Who told you to step backwards?!"

Jiao Shun originally thought it was just riding a bicycle. With his own old driver teaching him, what could be more difficult?
However, he obviously underestimated the influence of his ears and eyes. Even if people in later generations have not learned to ride a bicycle, they will not rarely see others riding this thing, and they are no strangers to some basic operations.

As for the servants sent by Ningguo Mansion, at most they only saw Jiao Shun ride a few laps—there were even a few who hadn't seen them before, so the effect of starting from scratch was naturally far less than expected.

As a result, Jiao Shun's scolding sound covered half of the school grounds, while the other half of the school grounds was filled with the laughter of the onlookers.

And the louder the onlookers laughed, the more flustered the boy on the bike was.

Jiao Shun was considering whether to simply close the venue and drive away all these idlers, when he saw the crowd parting not far away, Jia Baoyu walked over with the hairpin on his head, looked the bicycle up and down, and said curiously: "Brother Jiao, Is this the iron horse?"

"An iron horse is called by others, I call it a bicycle."

"Bicycle? It's also interesting."

Talking something interesting, Jia Baoyu leaned closer to Jiao Shun again, and said in a low voice, "I went to see Guan Qi yesterday, and that's when I found out that Big Brother Liu has also moved out with him, and became a neighbor with him... ..."

He told Jiao Shun all about what he saw and heard yesterday, but he concealed the details that Beijing Wang Shui Rong judged people by appearance, which led to the two abandoning the palace one after another.

Jiao Shun heard that Jiang Yuhan was going to go to sea with him, he changed his mind somewhat, nodded and said: "That's fine, if he can achieve something in the future, wouldn't it be a hundred times better than leaning on the door of the palace to sell his laughter?" ?”

But Jia Baoyu couldn't hear the word "career" the most, and immediately changed the topic, pointing to the bicycle path that was going crookedly: "Brother Jiao, this thing is wobbly and requires people to push it, and it doesn't look like it can be pulled much." Cargo, but I don’t know what it’s for?”

Jiao Shun didn't answer when he heard the words, he went forward and grabbed the bridle of the bike, and ordered the riders and the boys supporting the bikes to get off, then jumped on the bike neatly, and rode around the school field twice at a fast speed. Flicking his tail, he stopped in front of Baoyu.

"This is good, this is good!"

Jia Baoyu clapped his hands again and again: "It's strange that it is called an iron horse, it looks faster than a horse!"

Naturally, the speed of a bicycle cannot compare to a galloping horse, but Jia Baoyu has never ridden faster. Taking himself as a standard, Jiao Shun's speed is indeed faster.

He stepped forward to touch here, pinch there, and suggested: "Brother, why don't you ride this thing into the garden, let Sister Yun and the others follow and see how rare it is?"

"This……"

Jiao Shun pretended to hesitate: "I'm afraid it's against the rules?"

Jia Baoyu waved his hands indifferently: "What rules are there? Since you are engaged to Sister Yun, we will be a family from now on—Brother Rong and Brother Qiang, you still go to the garden from time to time. , let alone I took the initiative to invite my brother to go?"

Since he said so, it's still early for the appointment with the mandarin duck, and Jiao also went down the slope to agree with the donkey.

The two of them pushed the cart into the Grand View Garden talking and laughing. When they saw the Qinfang Bridge, Jia Baoyu pointed to the distance and said, "When I came here, they were all staying in the lotus root to escape the summer heat. The roads are all flat stone roads. Brother might as well ride over directly."

Hearing this, Jiao Shun got on his bicycle, stepped on the pier with one foot and said with a smile, "If that's the case, why don't you come up too, and I'll give you a ride."

Jia Baoyu was naturally so happy, he rolled up his arms and sleeves and climbed into the back seat, and followed Jiao Shun's instructions, he firmly grasped Jiao Shun's clothes.

"Sit tight, let's go!"

Jiao Shun tried his best to kick on the bridge pier, and the car rushed down the bridge.

Accompanied by Jia Baoyu's yelling, Jiao Shun arrived near Ouxiangxie without even ringing the bell.

Before riding on the trestle bridge, the maid in front of the door had already seen this spectacle, and ran in to report, saying that it was Bao Erye and Jiao Uncle riding an iron horse—some said it was Hot Wheels, and rushed Here it comes.

When Shi Xiangyun heard the words, he subconsciously wanted to go out in person, but immediately thought of his relationship with Jiao Shun, and stopped quickly.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu chuckled, stood up and gestured with her fingers on her face: "Shame~ Someone can't wait to get through the door!"

"You! See if I don't tear your mouth!"

Shi Xiangyun stamped his feet in shame and was about to pounce, but Lin Daiyu turned around and fled.

Seeing that this chase escaped from the hall door, all the sisters followed and filed out.

When they got outside the door, they saw Jiao Shun riding an 'iron horse' to the front of the crowd without haste, and then put Jia Baoyu on the back seat with one foot on the ground.

Jia Baoyu clapped his hands and smiled again: "This thing is really interesting. I heard that my brother is going to partner with Brother Zhen to start this bicycle business? Then sell me one first, and horses are not allowed in this garden. I use it for transportation on weekdays." , wouldn't it be convenient?"

Jiao Shun saw that all the girls were a little curious, so he set up the car ladder to avoid it, and let them take a closer look.

All the girls gathered around and chattered. Among them, Shi Xiangyun was the most curious, but he couldn't seem to be too close to Jiao Shun, so he urged Lin Daiyu to ask a lot of questions, such as how this thing maintains balance and how to stop it.

Without waiting for Jiao Shun to answer them one by one, Jia Baoyu rushed to answer a few questions. Although there were right and wrong, compared to ordinary people in this era, it is quite rare to be able to do so.

It seems that his ability to win the emperor's favor is not all based on his appearance.

At this time, Shi Xiangyun couldn't help being curious and asked: "Is it really profitable to buy and sell this iron... this bicycle?"

"Yo~"

Before Jiao Shun could speak, Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and started to snicker: "Someone is thinking about family matters before they even pass the door."

"You, you are bad, you are bad!"

Shi Xiangyun was so angry that he wanted to chase him again, the two circled around the bicycle twice, and in the end Jiao Shun was afraid that they would hit the bicycle and bump into each other, so he stopped their playfulness.

Then he explained carefully: "The cost of this thing is no less than that of a war horse, but its function is worse than that of a draft horse. It is only small, nimble and easy to turn around, and it doesn't cost much to raise."

"So it can only be said to be flashy at the moment, but when the craftsmen become more skilled in the future, this thing will be more affordable than raising horses-I plan to partner with Brother Zhen, and try to reduce the cost while selling food. In the past few years, as long as I can Keep it up, the future is bright."

After a pause, he laughed again: "If it sells in the future, it will add a lot of business to the tire shop in the house."

Most of the people only listened to superficial information, and had no interest in further investigation, but Xue Baochai was the only one who secretly wondered whether the deal would have a future.

At this time, Jia Baoyu suddenly laughed and said, "I know someone who is definitely interested in this thing—if he likes it, he won't have to worry about selling it!"

Seeing his smug smile, Jiao Shunna didn't know who he was talking about?

If this owner used a bicycle, it would be a great publicity!

Jiao Shun's heart moved, but his face pretended to be blank: "Who is this person Brother Bao said, can I recognize him?"

"Haha~"

Jia Baoyu smiled triumphantly, patted the seat of the car and said, "I'm talking about Long Live Today! Your Majesty pays the most attention to these new gadgets, and I will bring them into the palace someday..."

"Brother Bao, don't mess around!"

Xue Baochai hastily interrupted him, and said seriously: "If you accidentally damage the dragon's body, how can you take care of it?"

"This……"

Jia Baoyu also hesitated, but it was rare for him to show his face in front of Jiao Shun, so naturally he was unwilling to let it go, he hesitated for a while, and said: "I will learn how to ride it first, and then I will teach the emperor how to ride it. With so many people guarding the left and right, can it still fall us?"

As he said that, Jiao Jiao stopped by and said, "Brother Jiao, lend me this thing first, after the Emperor has seen it, I will..."

"Haha~"

Jiao Shun laughed, shook his head and said: "Brother, you are joking. This thing was originally made by the Ministry of Industry. If His Majesty finds it, can I still ask for it back? You can take it, and I will buy it from the Ministry of Industry's internal treasury. Just pick one up."

If the emperor can be hired to advertise, even if it has no practical effect, it can still sell a lot, so naturally there is no need to cling to the hardcover version to fool Jia Zhen.

Xue Baochai tried to persuade him again, which shows that Jia Baoyu is in high spirits, and it is not good to sweep his face in public after all.

Seeing that this thing belonged to her for the time being, Jia Baoyu became more and more excited, and urged her sisters to ride on it, but others refused repeatedly, but Jia Tanchun suddenly became interested, and said eagerly: "We don't know how to ride it." Riding, what's the use of going up? Can't it carry people, why don't you let Brother Jiao carry me for a ride!"

Although she showed a look of joy when she saw the thing she loved, Jiao Shun had heard from Mrs. Yang that the three girls were practicing martial arts every day, so naturally she didn't believe that she would take the initiative to get close to him without any grievances.

Shaking his head again and again, he said: "A man and a woman don't know each other, what does it look like? Let's teach the third sister to ride after Brother Bao learns it."

Tanchun wanted to say something more, but was pulled aside by Xue Baochai, so he resentfully gave up the idea of ​​pulling people and carts into the river, and dying with this beast.

Jiao Shun talked and laughed with the girls again, seeing that it was getting late, he pretended to know how to advance and retreat, left his bicycle behind, and left the Rongguo Mansion to rush to Jin Wenxiang's house.
