The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 355 Full Moon Wine [End]

[If you don't bring such a thing, taking two or three days off is not considered full attendance?Leave points are so expensive! 】

But he told about Jia Amnesty's Dongkuayuan, Jiao Shun originally wanted to return to Ningguo Mansion - when everyone was gone, he still had a big gift for his son.

Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozu said that he wanted to thank Jiao Shun for his kindness, and stopped him from begging for nothing.

After two life experiences, how transparent is Jiao Shun now?
Immediately he saw what his intentions were, shook his head and said with a smile: "Since General Sun has arrived at the Jinmen Navy, we will have to deal with each other in the future, so why rush?"

After a pause, he added another sentence: "Besides, this ironclad ship is not a dumpling after all. It depends on the progress of the Ordnance Department."

"Master Jiao really has a clear mind, and he saw right through my old grandson, Niuhuanggoubao!"

Seeing that Jiao Shun pointed out his little thoughts, Sun Shaozu also generously admitted it, picking up Thumbs and flattering him repeatedly.

In fact, he didn't care about Jiao Shun before, thinking that a sixth-rank official of the Ministry of Industry, no matter how much Jane has power in the heart of the emperor, he can't control himself, the lieutenant of the navy.

It wasn't until when he was waiting for Jia's amnesty that Jiao Shun loved the iron-clad ship very much, and he was much better than himself, who had been in the navy for a year. The Ministry of Industry is in charge of building warships!

And for the newly established Jinmen Navy, what else is more important than getting the warships commissioned as soon as possible?
Therefore, Sun Shaozu pestered Jiao Shun as soon as he went out, and his attitude was even more affectionate than that of Jia She and his son.

Seeing that Jiao Shun is an 'open person' now, he scratched his head again and said with a silly smile: "Sun doesn't ask for anything else, as long as Mr. Jiao can help remind him when it's time to remind him, I will be grateful here. "

There is nothing wrong with these words, but the problem lies in the word 'should'.

Who defines when it should and when it shouldn't?

If Sun Shaozu had the final say, could it be that he couldn't be urged when others said it was right?
And since there is "Help to remind when it is time to remind", then there is naturally "Help to delay when it is time to procrastinate".

To put it bluntly, this is a common practice in various ministries. On the surface, it does not violate the laws and regulations of the country. If no one can find fault if they don't go deep into it, it can create a competitive advantage for local officials who "run the department to make money". Leave the impression of 'someone above me'.

Jiao Shun didn't care about this kind of gray income at first, but now he has to do business with the emperor in partnership, and he also has to build an ocean-going caravan with the historians and the Wang family. It is inevitable that there will be some stretching.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he didn't say anything directly, but answered ambiguously: "They are all loyal to the country and serving the court. Besides, this is a matter of Jiao's responsibility. Naturally, those who can help will not stand idly by." .”

These words are naturally playing Tai Chi.

He mainly considers the issue of risk. If it involves discipline, state law or things that are easy to teach people, he will definitely not agree.

Of course, it would be the best if we could use the advantage of the situation to coax some benefits out of the hands of this surnamed Sun!

But these words fell into Sun Shaozu's ears, but it was completely meant to be 'for sale', and he secretly scolded this fellow, as expected, he came from the Rongguo Mansion, and he was really close to the vermilion.

If the court is full of such insects, how can the navy do well?

While making a righteous criticism, Sun Shaozu couldn't help being a little bit elated, thinking that if the money can solve it, then it's not a problem. As long as you get the chief steward of the Ministry of Industry, it is equivalent to having it in the stage of preparing for the construction of the navy. Great voice.

If he meets another admiral who is full of wine and food, maybe he can use this to steal the show.

In short, the more such contacts in the court, the better, and we must make great efforts to make friends!

The two had their own thoughts, and at the same time pretended to hate seeing each other late, and after setting up another day for a detailed talk, they said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.

This Dongkuayuan is only a hundred steps away from the corner gate of Ningguo Mansion.

It was time for Jiao Shun to raise his legs, but before he could enter the door, someone sneaked out from inside to greet him, looked around and came up to him and whispered: "Master, everything is ready, look at it today is not it……"

The person who came was Yuanyang's elder brother Jin Wenxiang.

Is this a coincidence?
There is also a show tonight.

"Then let's get on with it."

Jiao Shun asked calmly, "Have you thought about the reason for picking your sister up?"

"Think it over, think it over, let me say that my daughter-in-law is suffering from a fatal emergency, and I am afraid that a man will not be able to take care of her, so I beg the old lady to let her go back to take care of her overnight."

After a pause, Jin Wenxiang asked for credit again: "For today's release, I asked my wife to stay home two days ago."

"Have a heart."

Jiao Shun patted him on the shoulder: "It will grow in the future, I will never treat you and your wife badly."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

Jin Wenxiang immediately beamed with joy when he heard the words. Having seen Jiao Shun's generosity, he naturally would not doubt the gold content of these words. The fault was that in front of the Ningguo Mansion, he had to kowtow heavily to Uncle Jiao a few times.

After sending Jin Wenxiang away, Jiao walked into the Rongguo Mansion by the way, and found the Dahua Hall along the Chaoshui corridor, and happened to bump into Jia Huan leading Jia Cong to show off the clockwork tiger with the people.

Seeing that Jiao Shun came back from the outside, Jia Huan quickly got up from the ground and said with a shy face, "Brother Jiao, my mother asked me to thank you for the gift."

Without waiting for Jiao Shun to reply, he hastily added: "Now my mother is by the master's side, and her words are much more useful than the second brother Bao. If you have fun in the future, you have to hold on to me first, don't always go Send it to Brother Bao!"

Obviously, in his opinion, Jiao Shun sent gifts to everyone in the Rong Mansion just to please his own father - this "dogs relying on others" face is really carved out of the same mold as his mother.

Jiao Shun originally wanted to say a few perfunctory words to fool the little boy, but when the words came to his lips, a ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

Aunt Zhao and the eldest wife are masters who are proficient in skills and are the most open-minded. They even have six to seven points alike in character and appearance. Normally, Jiao Shun often compares and criticizes the two of them.

But those are all comments from a distance, now why not...

Then he smiled at Jia Huan and said, "Brother Huan got it. I really have something new here. I'll send it to you later."

Jia Huan was overjoyed when he heard the words, clapping his hands and applauding repeatedly.

Jia Cong watched enviously from the sidelines, only regretting that his mother died too early and never had the dignity of Aunt Zhao.

Because of the delay for a while, when they walked into the big flower hall again, Jia Zhen, Jia Baoyu, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, etc. had already heard the news and came out to greet them. This one asked if the person surnamed Sun had acted wildly, and the other asked why the person surnamed Sun Back to the capital again.

After Jiao Shun answered them one by one, Jia Zhen pulled him along and said, "My dear brother, I want to discuss something with you, why don't we go to the side hall first?"

Jia Rong was also busy beating the side drums, stretching out her hands to be courteous: "Uncle Jiao, this way please, this way please!"

Jiao Shun saw the way the father and son sang together, and guessed their thoughts very closely.

In terms of profitable business, he still has a few good deals in his head that can make a profit without losing money, how can he take advantage of this pair of corrupt masters?
So when he arrived in the flower hall, he pretended to be distressed, and said helplessly: "I can't blame me for this. I thought that with the emperor as a living sign, our business will definitely make a lot of money. Who will become brother Xiangbao?" It's just... oh!"

Hearing that Jiao Shun had uncovered the scar again, the flesh on Jia Zhen's cheeks twitched wildly, and the back molars were almost crushed. She wished she could swear at God, but because Jiao Shun was from the West Mansion after all, In the end, he had no choice but to hold back the foul language.

With a smile on his face, he said: "Of course you can't blame my brother for this matter, it's just that we have managed to scrape together the capital, so we must find a way to make money, right?"

"I'm really at a loss for this."

Jiao Shun spread his hands together: "Your Majesty may not look down on those petty troublemakers, now I don't dare to spend a single penny, and I'm afraid that the inner government will take out one hundred and eighty thousand yuan and let me wait to invest in it! "

"Don't talk about starting a new stove with Brother Zhen. I don't know how to explain to the Shi family, Wang family, Xue family, and the second grandma about the preparations to build a fleet to go to sea."

Hearing these words, Jia Zhen's face suddenly grew long.

On the contrary, Jia Rongyin was just a foil, and still had time to pay attention to the details: "Tell the second aunt? She has already made up her mind to invest money in it?"

Jiao Shun was waiting for someone to ask this question, and immediately raised a slap in the face: "Naturally, Second Mistress invested a full 5 taels of silver this time! Just wait until the end of the month when Lord Hou goes south, and then send someone Follow the past to supervise the preparation of the cargo and build the fleet, and we will pull out the anchor and go to sea as soon as the spring of next year."

Hearing the figure of 5 taels, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were a little unbelievable for a while. Although Wang Xifeng was greedy for a lot of money, he spent a lot of money on weekdays. Most of her net worth.

Jia Rong couldn't help but asked again: "Second Aunt is so optimistic about this sea business?"

Jiao Shun spread his hands together: "I don't know about that. She talked to the historian directly, or maybe she got some news from Bao Linghou."

Jia Zhen and her son exchanged glances, and they both felt that this was probably the case, otherwise, although Feng Lazi was a bit more gambler, she wouldn't be so desperate.

If so...

This business can be done.

Jiao Shun saw that both father and son were a little moved, so he put it away and got up and said, "I really have no other way out right now. If Brother Zhen is not in a hurry, let me think about it for a while, maybe three or five times." The moon has a clue—today is a good day, let’s not talk about it, let’s go and have a few glasses of full moon wine."

Although Jia Zhen was a little bit reconciled, she thought that if she could be sure that Wang Xifeng really invested 5 taels of silver, she would not need to find other ways to get rich, so she followed Jiao Shun back to the big flower hall.

…………

Turning back to the mandarin ducks, she has been sweating for Jiao Shun ever since she left the private alley.

Although Uncle Jiao is not as good as before, but in the eyes of those who grew up in the shadow of the Rongguo Mansion, they are obviously not as good as the Uncle Jiao.

It wasn't until Wang Shanbao's family made a fuss that Wang Xifeng and the eldest wife ordered Jiao Shun's will one after another in the room, Yuanyang was relieved - if there was a breakdown on the spot, how could the eldest wife dare to expect Jiao Shun to help out?

But because of this, she was even more curious about how Jiao Shun negotiated with the eldest wife, and whether her father's matter was resolved.

But until the banquet was over, she couldn't stay alone with Jiao Shun, so she could only suppress these questions in her heart for the time being, and returned to Rongguo Mansion absent-mindedly.

It's evening.

Yuanyang led the maids to arrange the dishes, and according to the old lady's instructions, they selected two dishes and sent them to Yihong Courtyard, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Hengwu Courtyard respectively—mainly for Xiangyun, and Baochai just occupied Xiangyun. cloud of light.

Just as he was about to serve the old lady for dinner, a woman came in outside and reported that Jin Wenxiang had come here crying, claiming that his mother-in-law had an emergency, and tonight would be the most dangerous time. If everything passed, everything would be fine. make life difficult for……

He was afraid that he would not be able to make it all by himself, and his mother was not in Beijing, so he begged the old lady for mercy and let the mandarin ducks go home to help.

Although Yuanyang had never exchanged news with her elder brother, after hearing these words, she immediately reacted, knowing that the "real day" had arrived, and at the moment she was ashamed, happy and anxious, and the old lady was dazzled, and she only thought that she was here. Worried about my sister-in-law's illness, I didn't see anything wrong.

When something like this happened, Mother Jia naturally had to be allowed to leave.

Not only promised to let Yuanyang go home for the night, but also told her not to come back in a hurry, but to deal with it safely and properly.

The mandarin ducks were always clever, but now they seemed to be sleepwalking, relying on Hu Po and others to secretly remind them, they bid farewell to the old lady like a marionette, and followed their brother back home.

As soon as he entered the door, Jin Wenxiang locked the door first, and while leading the mandarin ducks inside, he said, "Your sister-in-law and I moved to the wing room a while ago, and the main room will be used by you and Uncle Jiao—your sister-in-law told me I’m sick at home, and I’ve been setting things up for two full days, so while you still have time, go in and have a look, and if there’s anything wrong, we’ll fix it right away!”

The mandarin ducks just kept their heads down and didn't speak. When they got to the main room, they saw the apricot red happy characters plastered everywhere. There was a mahogany altar table in the middle, but there were no chairs on either side.

Jin Wenxiang explained: "I've inquired about it, and when people take concubines from outside, they usually want to visit the mistress, but Mr. Jiao is not married yet, so there's no way to talk about it, let's keep things simple. Just fine."

Yuanyang nodded slightly, but still blushed and said nothing.

At this time, Jin Wenxiang's family came out from the back room, and greeted with a smile: "Miss is back, come in and have a look, see if the bridal chamber I arranged for you is not satisfactory."

Seeing that the mandarin duck shyly remained still, she stepped forward and pulled the mandarin duck's sleeves, and led the sister-in-law into the bridal chamber.

I saw that the small bedroom was decorated with colorful flowers, two colored ribbons decorated with hydrangeas crossed and hung from the roof, on the table were the candied fruit and candied fruit, the hijab and the wine, and there was a new toilet spring stool dresser next to it. Under the apricot-red luan tent, there is a zither and sounding mattress, and a phoenix coronet and a xiapei are neatly arranged at the head of the bed.

Although it is not as festive as the bright red that is being married by a bright matchmaker, the apricot red that represents a good concubine is already beyond the reach of many maids.

What's more, it's still about giving yourself to the one you love...

Seeing the red tablecloth on the face of the mandarin duck, and no critical words for a long time, Jin Wenxiang's family secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled and stepped forward to hold the Fengguan Xiapei and said: "Girl, it's getting late, I'll help you dress it up." Get up."

Seeing that Yuanyang didn't object, she stepped forward to untie her old clothes and put them on from head to toe.

Finally, he covered her head, led her to sit on the bed, and confessed: "Girl, stay safe in the room and don't be impatient. When Uncle Jiao comes, I will invite him in."

With that said, he left the bridal chamber.

Yuanyang didn't know how long she had been waiting for. It seemed that there was only a moment that caught people off guard, and it seemed that it was an extremely long wait.

I could vaguely hear my sister-in-law's obsequious voice from outside: "Yo, the uncle is counting here, and the slaves congratulated him!"

After a while, I heard her say happily again: "How did this happen, how did this happen, thank you for your reward, sir, thank you for your reward!"

You don't need to look to know that Jiao Shun must have used money again.

Yuanyang was a little annoyed at her sister-in-law's greed, but after hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, all thoughts were lost. Looking at the hazy figure getting closer through the hijab, she felt that the tall and burly figure seemed to be It crashed into my dream, and it seemed to break into my heart.

The head of the person who is agitating is full of mud, and the heart of the person who is making trouble is jumping...

When Yuanyang regained consciousness, the apricot red hijab had already been pulled away by Jiao Shun, and the man who had been thinking about it for a long time looked down at her from above, and the blood all over her body was rushing to her face.

Subconsciously, he was about to lower his head to avoid the scorching gaze, but Jiao Shun frowned and said, "Why did you use the apricot red color? You owe it to me not to be able to get married right away, how can I pay you back..."

Yuanyang hurriedly interrupted him: "This is good enough, I..."

Just as he was talking, Jiao Shun suddenly raised his hand and bit his index finger, then smeared the bright red blood on the hijab, and said, "Let me make a change for you."

"Grandpa~!"

Yuanyang let out an exclamation from the bottom of his heart, grabbed Jiao Shun's finger, put it into his mouth and sucked it lightly without thinking, and mumbled in his mouth: "I, I...I will never be clear about my love for the rest of my life!"

Jiao Shun's heart was itchy because of being wrapped up by her, and he laughed and said, "Then just return the quilt first."

Before Yuanyang could understand the rotten homophony, he threw this pretty person on the quilt...
