The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 380 Yayou

Two days later, in the afternoon.

The tall draft horse stopped slowly in front of the east corner gate of the Ministry of Industry, and the peg post sitting side by side with the coachman on the shaft quickly jumped down and went around to the back to set up a wooden ladder.

After Jiao Shun got off the car, he saw that his neck was sweating, so he threw him a few taels of scattered silver, and said: "Take Lao Wang [the coachman] to sit in the ice room, remember to eat slowly, be careful Internal heat and external cold hurt the lungs.”

In fact, when it was cold or hot, he always let Shuan Zhu sit inside, but today, because he was bored in the Hedao Yamen, he unconsciously had a gloomy face when he came out, and this kid ran to the front by himself.

"How did this happen, how did this happen?!"

Shuan Zhu took the money and was about to greet the coachman Wang Lao Si, when a sixth-rank official trotted over, saying repeatedly: "Your Excellency is running around for the people of Xuzhou, and these fees should be paid by the lower officials! "

As he said that, he gathered up a ball of bright yellow things with his sleeves, and stuffed them into the palm of Shuanzhu's hand.

Shuan Zhu didn't dare to ask for it, and looked at Jiao Shun hesitantly.

"Why does Zhou Tong decide to do this?"

Jiao Shun raised his face and said: "Since Lord Shangshu has given instructions, it is my job to communicate with Hedao Yamen."

This dynasty has learned the lessons of the former Qing Dynasty. The river yamen set up is not a separate institution, but a Yousi yamen attached to the Inspectorate. Various projects.

To put it bluntly, it is from the contractor of Party B to the auditor of Party A—whether it is for repairs or additions, anyway, as long as you want to move the dam, you must first pass the audit of the river government office before you can request the Ministry of Households to allocate funds.

Because of this, Jiao Shun often went to Hedao Yamen to fight in the arena recently.

The dam in Xuzhou will be overhauled this year, and the amount of money requested is much higher than usual. Because I am worried that the approval will not be approved, I specially sent this week to pass the money.

Of course, Jiao Shun definitely wouldn't dare to accept bribes, at most he would just get some more ice and charcoal.

After finally dismissing the enthusiastic Xuzhou General Judge, Jiao Shun went back to the Secretary Office alone, and just handed over the old official documents used in the arena to the book office for disposal. The cold drink came, and I took the long-handled cattail fan again and again to 'enter the filial piety'.

Jiao Shun said a few words casually, and let him go.

While sipping a cold drink to rest, Liu Changyou hurried to find him outside again, seeing him like this, Jiao Shun roughly guessed what was going on, so he asked first, "How many houses are here today?"

Liu Changyou bent his body slightly, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and replied: "Only in the morning, five or six families came, and in the afternoon, two more came. I heard that the adults went to the Hedao Yamen, and they all dispersed one after another. Look. Like that, I’m afraid I’ll have to come to my door half the day.”

Jiao Shun couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, since yesterday, the promotions and ambassadors of various workshops have been looking for him, hoping that the engineering school can free up some more places.

As for the reason...

I heard that some work-study students revealed to the outside world that the Ministry of Rites asked the imperial court to treat them equally, so that work-study students should also become officials.

In the past, the head of the work-study student was directly awarded the official position, and the news that other bookmakers, master craftsmen, and picket captains also had the opportunity to enter the official career has already aroused people's hearts. How can those who are interested in this be able to sit still?
Those with connections asked the factory leaders one after another, and this led to the chaos of the past two days.

Expansion of enrollment is temporarily impossible, not to mention that the problem of teachers is difficult to solve, even if these problems can be solved, Jiao Shun does not want to take the initiative to provoke the nerves of both civil servants and the emperor when they are fighting.

But public outrage is hard to come by, and Jiao Shun is not easy to refuse explicitly, besides, he is pointing to winning people's hearts and turning the major workshops into his basic business.

For the current plan, we can only use the word "drag" to appease him first, and at least wait until the emperor can stand it.

"so."

After thinking for a while, Jiao Shun ordered again: "You will block anyone who comes again, just say that the ministry already knows about it, let them wait for the notice from the ministry - wait until tomorrow, and then arrange for people to go to the major workshops. The family is asking for opinions to see how many people they think are suitable to recruit, how to allocate the places, and what do they think of the graduates who have graduated from work-study programs..."

"In short, no matter how complicated it is, you have to show that you attach great importance to this matter, but you can't make any promises."

"This……"

Liu Changyou obviously didn't fully understand the meaning of his boss. After all, he was born as a craftsman. Although he was also contaminated with the habits of an official, he has always been based on steady work and hard work. It is not his turn to do this kind of bureaucracy.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll let Siwu Qin handle it, and you should hurry up and check the account of the requested payment from the Huaiyin newspaper."

Liu Changyou was obviously a little apprehensive when he heard the words. He was single-handedly promoted by Jiao Shun, but Siwu Qin has gotten quite close to Mr. Jiao recently. He would discuss many matters on official documents with him. I also invited him to...

Wouldn't he fall out of favor if he went on like this?

It seems that I have to hire a teacher to make up for the shortfall.

…………

Xizhi Hutong, Youjia.

Third Sister You took out a small box with a lock from under the cabinet, and first opened a crack to peek inside, but seeing that she couldn't see clearly, she held it in her hand and shook it vigorously.

Second Sister You was squatting in front of the bedside table to rummage, when she heard the noise behind her, she looked back and was startled, hurriedly stepped forward to snatch it, and shouted in her arms: "What are you shaking, what if The earrings are really inside, but you smashed them, what should I do?"

It turned out that the two of them came to Lao Niang You's room to search for the pair of earrings while she was out.

"How can something made of stone break so easily?"

Miss You curled her lips, seeing that her sister was really annoyed, she laughed again and said, "Don't worry, when I saw my mother take it out last time, it was wrapped in three layers of soft cloth, it's so loud. Certainly not."

Second Sister You was relieved after hearing what she said, but she continued to face the window and peeked into the box through the cracks.

In the end, before I could see it clearly, I heard Third Sister You groaning and found a lot of things from the cabinet. She hurriedly stopped and said, "You take out everything one by one, it's all messed up, let her see it out carefully." !"

"So what if you see it?"

Third Sister You leaned half of her body into the closet, and said in a muffled voice, "It's my sister's own thing. Mom said she would give it back to you last time, but it turned out to be the same thing. It's justified for us to make a fuss now!"

"Bah~"

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone spit outside the window: "I thought it was a thief from outside, so it turned out to be two house thieves I didn't know well!"

While talking, Mrs. You came in from the outside in a hurry, shaking her head on her hips and scolding: "You children don't know the difficulties of life. How can this kind of firewood, rice, oil and salt not cost money? I thought that Uncle Jiao would drag us , who would have thought that your sister would offend someone again!"

"Nowadays we are eating enough food every day. After a while, we might have to live by it. If I accidentally guard it, or if you accidentally lose it, can't the three of us go drink the northwest wind?"

Although Second Sister You was obsessed with money, she was still in awe of her mother, she bowed her head and dared not answer back.

The third sister You had a falling out with her old lady a long time ago, and now she doesn't care about the slightest bit of dignity, and she sneered like her old lady with her hands on her hips: "Mom, just don't worry, I won't do anything. With the name of the eldest sister, it's okay for the older sister to marry off casually." Don't worry about food and clothing, at most you go to drink the northwest wind alone."

"you!"

Mrs. You was so angry that she fell on her back, pointed at Third Sister You's nose and scolded: "You heartless white-eyed wolf, what will happen to you if you follow that Liu? Let me tell you the truth, he moved out a long time ago. The Beijing Prince's Mansion is now living in a thatched hut with some scarred actor, that poor one, jingle like hell!"

"really?!"

Unexpectedly, Third Sister You was overjoyed when she heard this, she stepped forward and grabbed her mother and asked repeatedly: "Mom, tell me, where Liu Lang lives now!"

Originally, it was because it was difficult for outsiders to get in and out of the Beijing Prince's Mansion, so she could only wait passively for the day when she would go south. Now that she heard that Liu Xianglian had moved out, she naturally wanted to go there early for the reunion.

Mrs. You sees that it is self-defeating, so is it really what she wants?
Immediately, he said perfunctorily: "I just heard someone say, how do I know where he lives?"

Seeing that her daughter was still asking, she sneered with disdain: "What can you do if you already know? He can't even support himself. With you as a burden, wouldn't he starve to death?"

After hearing this, Third Sister You's excitement subsided a little.

I must not implicate Liu Lang.

But this is also a good opportunity to send charcoal in the snow. If he can help Liu Lang, wouldn't he be able to quickly draw in the relationship between the two parties?

Thinking of this, Third Sister You unconsciously looked at the box in her sister's hand.

Second Sister You still didn't understand why, but Mrs. You saw through her mind, and immediately gnashed her teeth and scolded: "What an unfamiliar bastard, you still want to steal that life-saving family property, and go outside to raise a wild man!" ?!"

Only then did Second Sister You realize that she subconsciously hugged the box tightly, and then felt something was wrong—the earrings were not in it.

So she hurriedly reminded: "Mom, please keep it safe, don't let my sister steal it!"

It's no wonder she switched camps without hesitation, Third Sister You could do anything for Liu Xianglian.

Mrs. You accepted her second daughter without any hesitation, and said in sympathy, "Don't worry, even if she demolishes this house, she won't be able to find it!"

Seeing that her mother and elder sister were facing the enemy, Third Sister You also knew that the idea of ​​getting the earring was impossible, so she rolled her eyes and said, "Who do you think I am? Didn't Mom say that she was going to Ningguo?" Let's not wait for tomorrow, let's go today, if she doesn't give us money, we won't leave!"

Hearing that she had put her mind on the Ningguo Mansion, the mother and daughter were relieved.

But Mrs. You was worried that Third Sister You would offend people if she went to offend others. Instead of getting any benefits, she would get into trouble instead.

"Mom, don't worry."

Third Sister You clenched her fists, her face glowing like a pilgrimage: "For Liu Lang, not to mention being insulted by the eldest sister, even if it is to accompany the two of you to play on every occasion, what can you do?"

While speaking, she looked at her sister again from the corner of her eye.

She promised Liu Lang all her body and heart, so naturally she couldn't let others be contaminated. If she really got to that point, I'm afraid she would have to wrong her sister.

Although the sisters had a very good relationship since they were young, she was reluctant to let her sister be humiliated...

But who let it be for Liu Lang?
Fortunately, my sister is also greedy for money, so at worst, I can coax out the money and leave half of it for her as comfort.

Ok……

After all, Liu Lang is anxious to use the money, so let's leave [-]% to his sister.

After her repeated assurances, Mrs. You also thought that Youshi was angry with the three girls, so she cut off the support to her natal family. If the three girls were willing to bow their heads and admit their mistakes, maybe they could really ask for some money.

So he agreed.

The three of them held up two sunshade paper umbrellas, went out of the house and went straight to Ningguo Mansion.

…………

The back house of Ningguo Mansion.

Youshi held up two balls of conscience on the cross arm in front of the mirror, and took prickly heat powder and spread it evenly under the granary.

For more than a month, she has been exercising every day, and let her mother-in-law massage from time to time. With great difficulty, she lost more than half of the fat on her body. Only this bulge did not shrink, but became plump again.

Although this is not a bad thing, it also brings some small troubles.

For example, eczema and the like, which are exclusive to E-level and above summer troubles...

Usually it's okay, but today I specially asked Jiao Shun to continue the relationship, so it's not easy to show his flaws - especially since he loved it so much when he came back last time.

Apply it carefully, and Youshi was checking for any omissions when he saw Yindie walking in quickly.

She hurriedly wrapped the bellyband back, tied the belt with her hands behind her back and asked, "But Mr. Jiao is here?"

"Uncle will leave the office later."

Yindie stepped forward to help her fasten her bellyband, and then reported: "It's the old lady and two girls from the in-laws."

"Why..."

Youshi immediately lost interest, and was about to order Yindie to stand in the way, when he suddenly sensed something was wrong, he wondered, "Three girls are here too?"

"The third girl is here too."

Yindie said: "Look, it's quite different from before, she speaks and acts much more kindly, and even said that she would personally apologize to the wife."

"That's really strange."

With the help of Yindie, Youshi put on the outer skirt again, and then ordered: "The thieves on the left and right haven't come yet, let's see what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd."

Yindie understood, so she went outside and invited the mother and daughter to come in.

At that time You Shi also came to the outside room, the four of them met each other, three of them just smiled politely at each other, suddenly saw Third Sister You stepped forward two steps, and knelt down in front of You Shi with a plop.

Both Mrs. You and You Shi were taken aback.

Xin Dao even if she wants to make an apology, there is no need to kneel down right away, right?
At this time, I saw Third Sister You knocking her head on the ground, and raised her voice: "Sister, all the mistakes in the past were my fault. For the sake of my youth and ignorance, please don't argue with me."

Youshi didn't want to spare her easily.

But facing such a straightforward kneeling and begging for mercy, he couldn't refuse bluntly. He stretched out his hand to help, and said, "Why do we have to be like this between sisters? Sister, get up and talk, get up and talk!"

Third Sister You shrank back to avoid her support, and knocked her head on the ground again: "Since I still remember the sisterhood, Sister Wanwang will tell Liu Lang's whereabouts!"

But it turned out that she guessed that Mrs. You must have heard the news from the Ningguo Mansion, so she couldn't wait to run over, and even knelt down to apologize at the expense of face.
