The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 389 Outgrown branches [Part [-]]

[The V group is not in a hurry to recover for the time being, anyway, there are no benefits to receive for the time being, wait a few days...]

On the afternoon of the fourth day of July, outside the door of Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Rong sent Jiao Shun away, and said with a smile: "At first, I was worried that there would be no brother Qiang to accompany me, and no one would discuss things. Now my uncle is going, so I have the backbone!"

I don't know why, You Shi suddenly interceded with Jia Qiang, and Jia Zhen had no choice but to agree to let him stay in the capital—but on the contrary, You Shi also said some good things for Jia Zhen and his son today.

Jiao Shun naturally knew why Jia Rong was so considerate, so he waved his hand and said, "It's hard to say now, if there is a suitable one over there, I will naturally stick to your house first."

"Thank you uncle, thank you uncle!"

Jia Rong was overjoyed and bowed to Jiao Shun again and again. When he straightened up, he saw Jiao Shun sitting on the driver's seat. He couldn't help wondering: "Why is uncle driving the car himself today?"

"I got a temporary assignment, and the family is really too busy, so I have to do it myself."

Jiao Shun pretended to be perfunctory as if nothing had happened, but the real reason was that some people had something wrong and it was hard for the coachman to know too much.

After leaving Ningguo Mansion, seeing that it was getting late, Jiao hurriedly drove to You's old house by the way—this was also his last trip before leaving Beijing.

A while ago, I had private meetings with Second Sister You in the new house, but the new house has started to be repaired in the past few days, and it is too messy to live in. Naturally, I can only meet in the old house instead.

But he said that he was not far from the old house of You's family, but for some reason, many people gathered in front of a restaurant in front of him, filling the street with bustle and bustle.

Jiao Shun slowed down the speed of the car, and was about to tell passers-by to dodge, when he heard exclamation from the restaurant door, he subconsciously followed the sound, but saw a familiar figure jumping down from the balcony on the second floor.

"Feng Ziying?!"

Jiao Shun was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped the carriage.

I saw Feng Ziying staggered half a step after landing, stood still, walked a few steps to the horse tethering stone, and went to untie the reins on the stake.

At the same time, on the balcony on the second floor, a few people with sticks poked their heads out, shouting and cursing at the people below—apparently Feng Ziying had to jump off the building because they were chasing her.

Seeing Feng Ziying whipping his horse and whipping his horse, and rushing out of the crowd that voluntarily avoided him, Jiao Shun hastily raised his voice and asked, "Where is Brother Dan Chi going?!"

Feng Ziying turned around immediately and saw that it was Jiao Shun, and immediately shouted: "Changqing, I may not be able to go to the pier to see him off tomorrow, and I will ask Brother Wei to take it with me when I perform the ceremony!"

Before the words were finished, another dozen or so people with sticks came out of the restaurant, seeing that they were out of reach, the leader gave Jiao Shun a glance, saw that he was driving well and was strong, he thought he was a noble son who knew Feng Ziying well , and never stepped forward to provoke him.

When the people on the second floor also chased them out to get them together, they took their subordinates who were domineering and hated by others.

And when these people went far away, only a few family members of the Feng family with bruised noses and swollen faces helped each other out of the restaurant, one of them recognized Jiao Shun, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Master Jiao, have you ever seen our house?" Major General?"

Jiao Shun raised his hand and pointed at the street entrance: "Brother Feng rode his horse to the west, and the people who came out just now gave up after seeing that they couldn't catch up."

Seeing that the servant of Feng's residence breathed a sigh of relief, Jiao Shun couldn't help but wondered: "What's going on, how dare those people blatantly chase your young general on the street?"

"Except for the people of Zhongshun Palace, who else would dare to be so arrogant and domineering?!"

Mentioning this, the family member of the Feng family gritted his teeth angrily.

But it turned out that a few soldiers from the Shenwu camp a while ago, because they quarreled with King Zhongshun upstairs in the private room while eating wine, and quarreled with the slaves who came to scold them, they were stripped naked by King Zhongshun in the street and whipped .

Feng Tang, as the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Battalion, naturally couldn't just sit idly by, so he took part in the book of Zhongshun Wang.

As a result, King Zhongshun was fined by the emperor with three months' salary, and when he turned around, he sent people to chase and intercept Feng Ziying, hoping to pay off his father's debt.

So there was the scene just now.

Jiao Shun didn't know what to say after listening to it. King Zhongshun's original purpose was indeed to defile himself, but after two or three years, he showed signs of letting himself go. He also became the object of his active provocation.

Maybe it's because it's domineering for a while and it's cool for a while, and it's always cool to be domineering all the time.

However, he didn't offend the civil servants very much, at least he didn't offend those civil servants who were in power. It seemed that there was still some room for him.

After this little episode, Jiao Shun started on the road again, and soon arrived at You's old house.

Parking the carriage in front of the door, he was welcomed into the house by the mother and daughter two stars holding the moon. He subconsciously glanced inside and asked casually: "The third sister is not at home?"

"What to do with her!"

Mrs. You pouted, and said angrily: "I went out early in the morning, and said that I wanted to worship a few more Bodhisattvas for that Liu Xiang... Mr. Liu Xianggong to ask for a good fortune."

Mrs. You usually called Liu Xianglian by her first name, but because she worried about Jiao Shun's friendship with Liu Xianglian, she hurriedly changed her name to Liu Xianglian every time she said it.

Jiao Shun shook his head and smiled, then sat down at the main seat, and said to the affectionate Second Sister You, "Don't worry about the third sister, my son got an urgent business, and he will go south with him."

As he said that, he briefly explained to the mother and daughter that he was going south to determine tariffs.

Second Sister You was at the height of her love affair, she was already looking forward to seeing Jiao Shun for a few days, now that she heard that he was suddenly going south to Guangdong and Guangxi, and would not be able to return to Beijing until the end of winter at least, her eyes were filled with tears of reluctance.

But Mrs. You saw a different scene. She leaned forward and asked greedily: "This time I am going south to deal with wealthy businessmen from Guangdong and Guangxi, so the old man is going to grow hair again?!"

Seeing that she was about to stretch out a hand from her eyes, Jiao Shun laughed, and unabashedly took Second Sister You into his arms, pecked on that warm face, and promised: "Wait until I come back from here." When Nan Bianer comes back, I will buy two sets of good outfits for my younger sister from head to toe, to ensure that they are no worse than the Rongning Second Mansion!"

Second Sister You burst into laughter, pressed her tender body tightly against Jiao Shun's chest, and said half-truthfully, "I don't know what to do, I just hope that my brother can come back safely as soon as possible."

The two were talking about you and me, and saw Third Sister You coming back from the outside in a hurry, Second Sister You subconsciously wanted to get up, but thinking that Jiao Shun was about to go south, she hesitated, and sat upright on Jiao Shun's lap Body, blushing, looking around, he said: "Sister, brother Jiao has also been sent, and he is going south with Baolinghou."

"Oh."

Third Sister You just responded with a lack of interest, and there is no more to say. She only cares about Liu Lang now. As for the accompanying companions, what does it have to do with her?
When Mrs. You heard that Jiao Shun was going to Guangdong and Guangxi to blackmail her, she was more satisfied with her eldest daughter's choice, and became even more dissatisfied with her younger daughter.

Seeing her attitude towards God of Wealth's brother-in-law now, she immediately stood up and scolded: "You have no rules, it's a shame you know how to come back!"

"I should have been back long ago."

Third Sister You sat in a place far away from Jiao Shun in disgust. She intended to rub her sore and swollen feet, but when she realized that there was a foreigner, she forcibly endured it and said casually, "I just met him on Zijin Street." A rare event, so I came back late."

"What rare thing?"

"Miaoyu, who was kicked out of Rongguo Mansion by the elder sister, was kicked out of the inn again."

Hearing this, Jiao Shun also became interested, and asked curiously, "What's going on here?"

"I heard that she was cheated by someone. She originally pawned the furniture and bought a small temple on Zijin Street, but when she paid the money, she was met by a thief. A group of rogues came to the door and ransacked her family, and now she can't pay the rent, so she can only be kicked out."

Third Sister You briefly explained a few words, and then said in a strange way: "It's getting late, and our family can't afford to entertain Mrs. Jiao, not to mention that even the widowed and orphans can't entertain him." Don't dare to keep guests, please ask Mr. Jiao to do what he wants."

Jiao Shun didn't plan to stay for a long time at first, but when he heard the words, he got up pretending to be helpless and said, "Since the third sister refuses to stay, let's see you on the boat tomorrow."

As he said that, he pulled up Second Sister You for a sweet talk.

It took him a quarter of an hour to get out of the house and get into the car, and then he walked away under the reluctant eyes of Second Sister You.

After leaving You's old house, Jiao Shun hesitated again and again, but still couldn't hold back and went to Zijin Street.

Because of Xing Xiuyan's matter, Miaoyu arranged him a lot in the open and in the dark, and usually had a face with her eyes above her head, as if others deserved to be looked down upon by her, which really made people angry.

Now that the fake nun is in trouble, how can he not gloat?
Speechless all the way.

After arriving at Zijin Street, Jiao Shun quickly found out the inn where Miaoyu was staying, relying on the fact that there was a lot of trouble before, and further learned that she should have gone to the small temple to take shelter—those rascals took refuge. After taking away her last family property, she also left behind the title deed of the small temple as agreed.

It's just that if you want to inquire about the specific location of the small temple, the people in the inn will ask three questions.

Later, some old diners still raised their mouths, saying that it should be on the back street-there is Zijin Temple on the main street, and there is no place for those small temples at all.

Zijin Street is named after the Zijin Temple, and it is divided into the main street and the back street. The main street is mostly old second-rate dignitaries like the Xue family, and the back street is mostly ordinary people at first, but with the increasing population of central Beijing , Some upstarts also choose to buy houses on the back streets.

The house that the Jiao family is building is on the back street.

When Jiao Shun found the small temple in an alley on the back street, the two wives were making a fire in the yard and cooking. The hard biscuits are baking.

Seeing Jiao Shun walking in with his head protruding, the two women stood up in a daze, pushing me and pushing you, but they didn't dare to come forward to talk to them—obviously, they regarded Jiao Shun as an accomplice of those rascals up.

At this time, a little nun came out from the main hall, she couldn't help being taken aback when she saw Jiao Shun, and blurted out: "Uncle Jiao, why are you here?"

Immediately, her face changed suddenly again, she raised her finger to Jiao Shun and said, "You, it's you?!"

Jiao Shun was a little baffled at first, but he realized right away that he must have mistakenly thought that the previous things were all arranged by himself—a few days after he was kicked out of Rongguo Mansion, he ran into a wall in the Muni Temple and met such a person again. A series of tricks, as long as it is an individual, it will be suspected that someone is secretly instigating it.

Jiao Shun hurriedly explained: "My family bought a house on the back street here, and I came here today to see how the cover is going. I heard about you, so I stopped by to have a look."

As she said that, she added another sentence: "Ever since your girl was kicked out, Xiuyan has been talking about coming to visit, but it's just that the month is old, so that's why she couldn't make it."

Hearing Xing Xiuyan's name, the little nun's face suddenly softened a lot, and she smiled awkwardly: "Please wait a moment, sir, I will tell our girls to go."

After saying that, he hurried back to the hall again, and said to Miaoyu who was kneeling on the futon with her head down: "Senior sister, Uncle Jiao just happened to hear about our affairs and came here to visit us, you see?"

"By coincidence?"

Miaoyu raised her head abruptly, her cold and exquisite facial features were obviously a little sluggish, but the stubbornness between her brows did not decrease but increased instead, she gritted her teeth and said with a sneer: "Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

Obviously both master and servant wanted to go to one place.

The little nun hurriedly explained for Jiao Shun: "The Jiao family bought a house here, and it is now being flipped over. It is reasonable for Uncle Jiao to hear about us by chance."

Miaoyu had also heard from Jia Baoyu that the Jiao family was renovating their house and would move out of Rongguo Mansion next spring to live alone.

So she suppressed the obvious hostility, but sneered to herself: "Since it's not him, you can just send him away, why report me."

"girl!"

The little nun couldn't help changing her address, and persuaded her earnestly, "Now that we've fallen into this situation, who else can we count on to help besides Miss Xing? I heard that she is very favored in Jiao's family, and the situation is about to die again." ..."

Halfway through the talk, seeing Miaoyu's gaze became more and more cold, she had to stop, and said helplessly, "Even if the girl refuses to be favored by others, why don't you ask Miss Xing to send a letter to the family?"

"Humph~"

Miaoyu snorted coldly, and said proudly: "What is this step and that step, I am innocent and self-respecting and self-loving, and no matter what, I am stronger than her self-willed depravity!"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but hesitate for a while, but quickly said decisively: "Even if I starve to death and freeze to death, I will never ask her for help!"

Although she repeatedly despises Xing Xiuyan and is willing to degenerate, the real reason that makes her resolutely refuse to ask Xing Xiuyan for help is actually the sudden sense of gap.

When she was in Gusu, in terms of status, Xing Xiuyan was a tenant living in Miaoyu's house; in terms of talent, Xing Xiuyan was a late learner; in terms of temperament, she thought she was far above Xing Xiuyan.

Therefore, even though the two had known each other for ten years, Miaoyu never regarded each other as equals in her heart.

Later, when she arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, she discovered that Xing Xiuyan had been made a concubine for someone else, and she looked down on Xing Xiuyan even more.

Who would have thought that in just a few days the situation would change, and she would not only be kicked out by the Rongguo Mansion, but would also be penniless—it must be that there is still this empty small temple sheltering her, and she might be about to sleep on the street.

At this time, how can Miaoyu accept Xing Xiuyan's alms from "high above"? !
For her, it was more unbearable than starving and freezing to death—at least at the moment, she did think so.

But hearing Miaoyu's resoluteness, the little nun sighed, but she had no choice but to go outside and tell Jiao Shun that her daughter is not in a position to see guests for the time being, so please don't be offended by Uncle Jiao.

Jiao Shun was not dissatisfied either.

He was not idle outside just now, and learned a lot from the mouths of the two women, that Miaoyu now has all kinds of clothes, shoes and socks, bowls, chopsticks, cups and bedding, except for the patchwork clothes on her body. It was used by those hooligans to 'pay off debts' - who made her things all high-end goods?
Now this fake nun who has no other eyes can be said to be at the end of her rope.

Although I couldn't see her in a state of distress with my own eyes, but having these messages is enough to make me feel happy.

It's a pity that I'm leaving Beijing tomorrow, otherwise I can continue to pay attention to the follow-up development, or even...

EMMM~
Forget it, this kind of woman has to work hard with water, breaking her proud shell little by little, so that her proud head can bend under her.

But how can I have time now?
