The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 399 Tanabata [Part [-]]

[This month's monthly pass is too weak, isn't it?Although Lao Ao has basically never asked for a monthly pass, but brothers should vote and still have to vote! 】

It's approaching evening.

Jiao Shun got off the car in front of the Xue family's old house, and was led down to the inner hall of the backyard by the maid in charge. Aunt Xue had been waiting in the living room for a long time, still dressed in the simple widow's attire. Unexpectedly, there was a little more strange blushing, and there was also a trace of panic and alienation when greeting himself.

has a problem!
Jiao Shun thought too much at the moment.

Could it be that the Xue family made something that violated their ancestors... Bah, did they make a decision that conflicted with their own interests, otherwise how could Aunt Xue's attitude be so strange?
In addition, not only the maid who led the way stayed in the house, but also two little maids stood in front of Aunt Xue, which made Jiao Shun even more vigilant.

The last time the two met alone, there was not even a maid around, but this time there were five more bystanders—even if the things the two sides wanted to talk about could not be airtight, at least they should not be publicized Bar?

Could it be that some mechanism can't figure it out?
So when Aunt Xue was about to initiate the conversation, Jiao Shun coughed dryly and picked up the teacup, and let out a gurgling gulp.

After repeating this, Aunt Xue finally realized what the problem was. She frowned in embarrassment, and after a long hesitation, she waved away the maids in the house.

Only then did Jiao Shun put down his teacup, and asked bluntly: "Auntie, what happened today? Last time, I said that even Brother Xue would keep some things secret, but now I have brought so many idlers to accompany me, if the news spreads Brother Xue, don't say that he is showing his holiness in front of others, he is afraid that he will be squeezed out by other families."

How dare Aunt Xue tell him that she deliberately wanted to avoid suspicion because she was flustered by Mrs. Wang?
Just as he was hesitating, he didn't know how to explain it. He accidentally caught a glimpse of Jiao Shun's finger wrapped with a bandage, and quickly changed the subject: "I wanted to ask just now, what happened to your hand? What did you hurt?"

There are indeed ghosts!

Jiao Shun raised his tangled fingers, and smiled without changing his expression: "Aunt Lao is thinking about it, isn't it in time for Qixi Festival, but I was planning to go south, so I didn't prepare anything, so I had to cram , carved a wooden carving for Mrs. Xing as a gift, and it turned out..."

After finishing speaking, she saw Aunt Xue's expression was in a trance, staring at the finger with her beautiful eyes, as if she was lost in memory.

"Auntie?"

Jiao Shun raised the volume and called out.

Only then did Aunt Xue wake up, and sighed quietly: "When I first married into Xue's family, Wenlong's father also carved a wooden carving as a Qixi Festival gift. Because he scratched his hand, he even joked that it was stained with his painstaking efforts, which made it difficult for everyone to see it. I must treasure it, but it's a pity that Wenlong lost it later, your uncle said that he would give it to me, but he never thought..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help feeling sad.

And such a coincidence?

This Uncle Xue was also a PUA scumbag before his death, right?
Jiao Shun pushed himself and others, but hurriedly got up and clasped his fists and said, "It's all my nephew's fault, bringing up this matter for no reason made my aunt sad."

"And how do you know these things?"

Aunt Xue took out her handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and explained with a forced smile: "Since the word has come to this point, I won't keep it from you, because it's Qixi Festival today, and I'm afraid of gossip outside, so I just said it." A few people were arranged to wait on it, but they forgot to keep it secret for a while.”

That's what happened.

Jiao Shun finally felt relieved. Thinking about Aunt Xue, a widow with a beautiful appearance and a delicate body, he was naturally worried that she would attract criticism in this regard, but he misunderstood her just now.

So he let go of his grievances, and discussed the matter of the Imperial Business Alliance with Aunt Xue.

"...According to my nephew, the case of the Ministry of Rites involves engineering, so it's better to let it go for now. If someone insists on hitting the gun, the Xue family shouldn't get involved."

While talking, Jiao Shun found that Aunt Xue was distracted again, staring at his injured finger with beautiful eyes, obviously recalling the past of Qin Se and Ming.

"cough!"

Jiao Shun coughed helplessly, and repeated what he said just now, Aunt Xue nodded belatedly and said: "Baochai also thinks the same way, but I'm just worried about what you think, so I let you I'll ask."

As he said that, his eyes fell on the bandage again, and he couldn't help reminding him with a smile: "It's so thick, it's not breathable and it's inconvenient to move around. It's better to use roving instead."

Jiao Shun smiled: "It's just a small cut. I wrapped it up to prevent it from bleeding and staining my clothes. Now I just take it off."

While talking, he took off the bandage in front of Aunt Xue, and stuffed it into the sleeve pocket in a mess.

"You men just don't know how to cherish yourself!"

Unexpectedly, seeing this scene, Aunt Xue suddenly got annoyed, stood up suddenly and said: "At the beginning, Wenlong's father suffered a minor injury and didn't take it seriously, but in the end..."

When she said this, her voice stopped abruptly, but the heaving of her chest became more and more violent, and the earth shook for a while, she suddenly gritted her teeth and stepped forward to grab Jiao Shun's hand, took out the veil and looked carefully at it. After wrapping up the wound and tying a bow, he stopped in satisfaction.

And it wasn't until this moment that she realized that she had inadvertently gotten so close to Jiao Shun, almost to the point of hearing each other's breaths, so she panicked all of a sudden.

Apart from her son, she had never been in such intimate contact with a man since she was widowed. She stepped back three or four steps, wringing her fingers in embarrassment, while trying to cover up: "You, you go back and remember to take apart the cover. Medicine, you children just don't know how to cherish yourself!"

Just now it was called by a man, but now it is called a child's family.

Jiao Shun is not a young child, how can she not see why she is embarrassed?
Immediately, I couldn't help but come alive in my heart. He is always a familiar master. Since time travel, he has ranged from girls aged [-] or [-] to women in their early thirties. Once you touch it, you will never miss it.

Although Aunt Xue is three or four years older than Xing, she is only 36 years old, and she is pampered and pampered on weekdays. In terms of appearance and figure, no one will doubt that she is 26 years old, especially her skin that looks like pearls, jade, and white porcelain. , even those in their twenties may not be able to reach it.

What's more, I don't know how she cultivated her temperament. She obviously has a kind-hearted and mature appearance, but from time to time she shows some childlike naivety, which really has a special charm.

"How did you soil Auntie's handkerchief?!"

Action is worse than heartbeat, Jiao Shun immediately pretended to be shy and flustered, holding his breath to make his face flush, and frantically took out a wood carving from his bosom, stammeringly said: "This, this is my nephew's own carving." Of course, it's far worse than what Uncle Shi did with his own hands, and it's all due to Auntie!"

As he said that, he took two steps forward and wanted to hand the wood carving to Aunt Xue.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue hurriedly backed away, and kept refusing: "This is not possible! How can this be possible! I just bandaged your wound, what do you want in return?! Besides, you are... Anyway, I Absolutely not!"

Hearing her speak more and more resolutely, her tone gradually became a little annoyed, and by the way, Jiao knew that it was just a momentary gaffe caused by the atmosphere, but she had no intention of being a concubine.

Disappointed, Jiao Shun did not give up, but decisively adopted Plan B.

"This……"

He seemed to have finally realized that something was wrong, and returned to his original position in a panic. He placed the wooden carving on the coffee table, shook his hands and said, "Auntie, don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no other intentions! Really, really... ..."

He was honest for a long time and didn't say why, so he simply gave a deep bow and said: "My nephew will take my leave first!"

After finishing speaking, he snatched the door away as if fleeing.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief, remembering how Jiao Shun was shy and flustered at first, and then behaved incoherently, she couldn't help but smile, and couldn't help but secretly feel complacent.

In the morning, she laughed at herself in front of Baochai and said that she was old, but who would not want to be young and still have charm?

Therefore, when she found out that her inadvertent ambiguous behavior could make a young hero like Jiao Shun flustered, Aunt Xue was ashamed, but she was also secretly happy.

shuh~
She was sitting in the living room, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt ashamed and happy, when suddenly someone broke in through the curtain.

Aunt Xue was startled, but when she looked closely, it turned out to be Xue Pan, she couldn't help covering her heart and scolded: "Why are you so surprised, kid?!"

"Didn't you hear that my mother is in a hurry to send someone to find me?"

Xue Pan sat down on Jiao Shun's seat just now, grabbed the upside-down new teacup, filled it up and poured it directly into his stomach, then complained: "I went back to Rongguo Mansion to change clothes, I heard that my mother asked I ran here without even drinking my saliva, and my mother complained about my recklessness."

"Yes, yes, mother is wrong, okay?"

Aunt Xue said helplessly: "I was looking for you earlier because I wanted you to accompany me to see brother Shun, but I couldn't find him after searching left and right, but you came back right after he left!"

"I don't know what's urgent."

Xue Pan said indifferently: "You guys have discussed it and let me know. It's troublesome enough to write down those twists and turns. Why do you want me to discuss with you?"

While talking, he wanted to pour himself a drink again, but inadvertently saw the wood carving on the table, so he picked it up and looked at it, and it seemed familiar, so he simply held it up in front of his eyes for a closer look.

Aunt Xue panicked immediately when she saw this, and nothing happened, but she had the illusion that someone had broken through her adultery, her heart was beating wildly, as if it was not the wood carving that Xue Pan held, but her heart and soul.

"You, what are you doing with it?"

Aunt Xue wanted Xue Pan to put down the wooden carving, but she was worried that her son would not be able to explain it when she questioned her. She was worried about gains and losses, but she heard Xue Pan suddenly said: "No wonder it looks familiar. Isn't this the one I used to play with when I was young? I couldn't find it at the time." Now, my mother is still beating me, but isn't it all right?"

Seeing that he had admitted his mistake, Aunt Xue's heart was relieved, she took the opportunity to snatch it away, and explained calmly: "This is your father's relic, and I only found it today in the old house. "

"I said."

Xue Pan smiled indifferently and said, "It's fortunate that my father stopped me at the time, otherwise, wouldn't I have been beaten for nothing?"

As he spoke, he felt something was wrong. He looked at the wood carving with his head and said, "But why do I feel that this is a little different from the original one?"

"This this……"

Aunt Xue raised her heart to her throat again, and said anxiously and wisely: "You forgot, after you lost it back then, your father said he would give me another one, so I didn't teach you a lesson—this, this was made up later."

Forced to use her dead husband as a cover, Aunt Xue was so ashamed and ashamed that she almost bit her tongue when she spoke.

Fortunately, Xue Pan has always been big-hearted, and never paid attention to these details, and then suddenly said: "I said, it was my father who made it later, so you must take it away, and it's no wonder if you lose it again this time." I."

Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief again, and at the same time felt ashamed in every possible way, secretly praying for forgiveness from her deceased husband.

At this moment, Xue Pan got up again and said impatiently: "Since I'm fine, I'll go to Brother Wei for a drink. We made an appointment when we were hunting. I guess people are already waiting anxiously."

Saying that, he walked out in a hurry.

Aunt Xue grabbed the wooden carving and chased after her for a few steps, repeatedly reminding her: "Remember to eat more vegetables and less alcohol, don't get drunk again like last time..."

"I can save it!"

Xue Pan waved his hands without looking back, and before he finished speaking, he had strode out of the courtyard gate.

Aunt Xue sighed and returned to the living room, only then did she have time to look at the wood carving.

Jiao Shun's craftsmanship is obviously not good, not to mention the details, even the general shape is full of flaws, so that after careful identification for a long time, he vaguely recognized that this sculpture is the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on the Bridge of Magpies.
She couldn't help being surprised for a moment.

How could it be such a coincidence?
At the beginning, what my husband carved was also the scene of meeting magpies on the bridge, and the craftsmanship was so rough that it could only be barely recognized. It's no wonder that the son just admitted his mistake.

Looking at the wood carving in her hand, Aunt Xue vaguely seemed to have returned to 20 years ago. At that time, she was a 17-year-old girl who had just married into her husband's family for less than a year, but she was already pregnant with Xue Pan.

On the Qixi Festival of that year, the husband took a ugly and ugly woodcarving magpie bridge, and said conclusively that he could bless him to give birth to a son and a daughter for Xue's family safely like Zhinu.

Now it is a prophecy, but things are different...

Aunt Xue was immersed in the memories of the past and couldn't extricate herself, sometimes sweet and sometimes sad, until the maid asked outside if she wanted cloth vegetables, she suddenly woke up, and soon found that she had unknowingly held the wooden carving in the Heartbroken.

Thinking that it was actually carved by Jiao Shun, she raised her hand as if it was burning, and was about to throw it out, but the wood carving seemed to be stuck to her palm, and she did not throw it away after several gestures.

"Ah~"

In the end, Aunt Xue sighed, put the wooden carving in her sleeve pocket, and thought to herself: After all, this is not my own thing, and it is not easy to dispose of it casually. I will put it away first, and wait until the next time I see Brother Shun again , and give it back to him.
