The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 404 Chapter 40X
[This number is really unlucky, let's replace it with X...]

Near noon.

In the three-chambered Xia Xia Hall, the sun shines on the Luohan bed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the white mist from the two pots of crushed ice on the left and right rises. Wang Xifeng, who sits cross-legged on the bed and looks through the account books, looks like a reincarnated Bodhisattva. Like a fairy coming to the world.

However, in the next second, the bodhisattva fairy turned into a wrathful Vajra. First, she threw the account book to the ground, and then bowed left and right with both hands. What kind of pen, ink, paper and inkstone stamped the letter, and was swept to the ground by her.

The servants who were guarding outside fell silent immediately, and each of them shrank their necks in panic like a quail, for fear that the second mistress would fall on their head.

Ping'er, who knew the inside story well, pursed his lips and smiled, and went out unhurriedly to let all the women in charge disperse first, and wait for the second grandmother to have time in the afternoon before going up to ask questions.

As if they were pardoned, the servants and women in charge all did their best to scatter.

Ping'er turned around and went back to the hall, and waved at the trembling little maids, signaling them to retreat first.

When there were two masters and servants left in the room, Wang Xifeng, whose face was as heavy as water, finally made a movement. She used two spring onion-like fingers to pick up a piece of crushed ice, kneaded it in the palm of her hand and melted it. Li Li scolded angrily: "Why did you send people away? There are so many things in the family, are you leaving them all behind?"

Ping'er was not afraid at all, covered his mouth with a light smile and said: "If you can't let go of family affairs, let alone the emperor's order - besides, didn't he specially send a Qixi Festival gift a few days ago? Grandma should be more considerate to him. "

After Chu Wu and Jiao Shun made an agreement to continue their relationship, Wang Xifeng was thinking about letting him go at first, such as deliberately being half an hour late on holidays or something.

Who would have thought that Jiao Shun would get the emperor's order the next day, and go to the Sanfa Department to be a 'big inner secret agent', but how can there be any rest?

So this clear and bright agreement was delayed again and again, dragging away Wang Xifeng's full of reserve, and now when he closes his eyes, it's the thunder and earth fire that day in the boiler room, and he wished that he could take Jiao Shun's hand and eat it alive.

"What a shit gift!"

Seeing that Ping'er was ashamed to speak for Jiao Shun, Wang Xifeng gritted his teeth in hatred: "It's just an ugly wood carving, and it must be said that painstaking efforts have been put into it. What's the use of this wooden lump? Why don't I just give it away?" ...Hmph, look at the ridiculous surname he changed!"

She wanted to say that it would be better to just send a 'Mr. Jiao', but suddenly found that Jiao Shun's surname was very ambiguous - it's strange that this guy is going to change his surname to Jiao, and I'm afraid that this is the only part of his body that can be dealt with!
Ping'er naturally heard the unfinished meaning in her words, and couldn't help laughing at the moment.

Wang Xifeng gave her a blank look, and complained again and again: "You little hoof can quench your thirst from time to time, but when you come to me, it becomes tomorrow after tomorrow, and there are so many tomorrows. It's almost July and a half, don't you have to wait for the south side?" He will give me an explanation face to face?!"

In the front, it was so sour that he could steal it, but later he used the business as an excuse to cover it up.

Ping'er secretly laughed at her incomprehension, and was about to mention Jiao Shun to excuse her, but there was a maid outside who reported loudly, saying that the second master had returned from the Jinmen mansion, and was unloading luggage on the pier, and sent him away on purpose. Zhao'er went home to report.

Wang Xifeng was full of evil spirits and had nowhere to vent her anger. When she heard that Jia Lian had returned, she raised her voice and scolded: "He came back as soon as he came back. He still lives in his study outside. What are you doing for me?! "

The servant girl shrank her neck in fright, she must have benefited from Zhao'er, and she was afraid she would die.

You can get people's money and people's disaster relief, but now you can only bite the bullet and continue to report: "Zhao'er said that the second master brought a lot of gifts to grandma."

"嘁~"

Wang Xifeng snorted disdainfully, thinking that with Jia Lian's greedy and stingy nature, what good gift can he bring himself?

But no matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat, and Jiao Shun's big one can't be counted on for the time being, so it's better to get some small money from Jia Lian first.

So he asked, "What gifts do you have?"

"Zhaoer didn't go into details, but most of the newly transferred generals from the Jinmen Mansion are from the former Ministry of the Taiwei. I heard that the second master is the son-in-law of the Taiwei's family, and they are all very attentive."

Now Wang Xifeng seemed to be in high spirits, since those people came for the Wang family, maybe they just gave her some treasures by name.

At the moment, Zhao'er is busy ordering to come in and report.

Hearing Zhao'er bragging that there were more than a dozen carts loaded with various gifts and more than 2 taels of silver in cash, Wang Xifeng immediately changed his face and organized a reception banquet with great fanfare.

at the same time.

Jia Lian was driving home triumphantly with more than twenty carts.

At first, when Sun Shaozu pulled him to Jinmen Mansion to support the scene, he was still full of reluctance, but when he arrived in Jinmen, he realized that his status as the son-in-law of the Wang family was as useful as a cornucopia among the navy generals!
With these empty pays, he was really generous, and in just over a month, he collected nearly 4 taels of property.

Of course, it also made a lot of empty promises.

This could not help but make him re-examine the relationship with Wang Xifeng, and even further think of Wang Xifeng's various benefits.

That's why Zhao'er was sent to the front, thinking of taking the opportunity to ease the relationship between the husband and wife, even if they gave the greedy mother-in-law a small half, they would ask the father-in-law to help the soldiers seek some benefits.

Only in this way can we go to Jinmen Mansion to reap crops from time to time in the future.

Of course, by the way, you can also have a little farewell to your new love.

With the small plan of gaining both talents, Jia Lian was full of arrogance all the way, but he didn't want to be stopped by Qin Xian's leader as soon as he arrived at the intersection of Rongning Street, saying that Jia Amnesty had invited him.

Jia Lian's expression changed immediately.

He thought to himself that he had clearly told Zhao'er to report directly to Wang Xifeng, but how did the news reach his father?

After thinking about it again, I guessed that Sun Shaozu probably leaked the news, but he could only follow Qin Xian to the Dongkua courtyard after cursing secretly.

As a result, when they arrived at the backyard, as soon as they entered the door, they saw Jia Amnesty lying sickly on the couch with his head wrapped in a white cloth.

Jia Lian was taken aback, and hurried forward to pay respects: "My son has seen the master. When did the master get sick? Why didn't the family send someone to report to the Jinmen mansion?"

"What kind of report, I still can't die!"

Jia Amnesty tore off the towel from his head, turned over and sat up and stared at Jia Lian with burning eyes. It was not because he was pretending to be sick, but because his illness was all caused by lack of money. Minus six or seven points.

To say that his illness is really self-inflicted.

Originally, by virtue of the matter of the mandarin ducks, he managed to persuade Jia Mu who wanted to make up for it, and took over the job of rebuilding the Dahua Hall, but he got carried away and was too demanding, and was dismissed by Jia Mu, and was scolded a lot—— After all, the money came from Mother Jia's body. She has been shrewd all her life, how could she be willing to be as ignorant as Jia Zheng?
However, because Jia She planned to collect a lot of money from the project, he started to pay for the extra money in advance, and owed a lot of debt outside...

Just at the end of the road, Sun Shaozu suddenly heard a report from Sun Shaozu, saying that his son had brought back a large sum of money from the Jinmen Mansion, so he sat up in shock in his dying illness, and asked Jia Lian to be stopped for a share of the pie—more accurate To put it bluntly, he wanted the lion to open his mouth.

This opening mouth is neither four-six, three-seven, nor even twenty-eight, and directly asks for a [-]% share of the bill. The father will take [-]%, and the son will keep [-]%!
The reason is still there.

"It's all thanks to your sister that I only received a crop of benefits. I let you spit it out to buy your sister a dowry—it's fine if you don't take the initiative to buy it as a brother, but now you still think about it. Greedy Mo, has your conscience been eaten by dogs?!"

I believe you a ghost!
Jia Lian cursed angrily in her heart, secretly thinking that if even a cent of the money would fall into the hands of her younger sister, I, Jia Lian, would gouge out my eyes and pretend to be a tramp!

This time he followed Sun Shaozu to welcome and see him off in Jinmen, and he had barely experienced some experience, but he was not blindly obedient before, and could only deal with it in silence.

Immediately grasping the loophole in Jia She's words, he said tit-for-tat: "Isn't it good that the master said earlier that he was saving a dowry for my sister? I'll go and set up a few shops and villages for my sister. Usually, my son will be tired and take care of him first. When we get married, we will accompany them to the Sun family."

This move of using Zi's spear to attack Zi's shield immediately defeated Jia She's plan.

He jumped up furiously and wanted to roar, but suddenly he pulled his lungs too hard, bent his body and coughed continuously.

Mrs. Xing, who had been listening next door for a long time, came out in a hurry, patting her chest and beating her back. At the same time, she scolded: "You child is so ignorant, the master was tortured by the old lady just because of the incident in the Dahua Hall. Angry, but you come to contradict him again, what if... Humph~ I'll see how you handle yourself!"

Having said that, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind: If Jia Lian was mad at Jia Amnesty on the spot, wouldn't she be qualified to inherit the family business?
If this is the case, I can just support Jia Cong. At that time, he will be a mere concubine, and he will be still young, so he will just say what he says?
Don't look at the Dongkua Courtyard where there are holes all over the place, and it's always not enough to make ends meet, but that's all because of Jia She's extravagant spending. If I were to be the master of the house, and stop the monthly routine of those foxy girls, there would be more than enough days!

At that time, you might as well learn from You's family to run other courtyards, and recruit Jiao Shun to his home from time to time, wouldn't he be happy and unrestrained? !
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing started to work with her hands, her eyes fixed on Jia She's throat, wishing that he would be choked to death by a mouthful of thick phlegm immediately.

However, things didn't go as planned, Jia Amnesty recovered quickly, pushed Xing Shi away and jumped three feet high, pointed at Jia Lian and cursed, "What a villain, you really want to piss off your father to death!"

Jia Lian was also a little flustered at first, but when he saw his father slowing down, he breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing that Jia She seemed about to make a move, he hurriedly said, "Son, call the doctor right away!"

Then he fled in spite of himself.

Jia Amnesty rushed a few steps furiously, but he was sick after all, so he could only hiss and pant as he watched Jia Lian escape from birth, and beat the door frame with all his strength, heartbroken: "I knew that those who eat soldiers' blood can squeeze out so much oil and water." , I should go there myself.”

Immediately, he gritted his teeth again and said, "Don't think it's over if you run away, come, come!"

Hearing the sound, Qin Xian trotted in to obey orders.

Just listen to Jia She's angry order: "You take a few able-bodied people and seal up Jia Lian's luggage for me. No one can move without my order!"

"This this……"

"What is this! If someone asks you, just say it's because my uncle respected me!"

Qin Xian had no choice but to bite the bullet and take orders to leave.

the other side.

After Jia Lian escaped from Dongkua Courtyard, he asked someone to invite a doctor casually, and then hurried back home—he was mainly worried that Wang Xifeng would kill them first and play later, and directly seize the property.

Fortunately, Xing'er was vigilant and kept guarding in the front yard without unloading the car.

Only then did Jia Lian heave a sigh of relief, and swaggered to find her home.

This time the husband and wife meet, it is really a concubine who loves her husband and sings a wife who follows the father and loves the son...

hmm~
It's time to have a son!
Just as Jia Lian was about to lead the topic in that direction, Xing'er stumbled in to report that he didn't want to go outside, saying that the master sent someone to seal up all the twenty or so carts, and that they were all given by Uncle Sun Gift.

"This, how can this be done?!"

Jia Lian turned pale with fright, and sat down on the chair like a concubine in mourning, but was pushed down by Wang Xifeng unexpectedly, pointed at his nose and drank: "These are all the things that the old family respects me, if you let the old one be ashamed Hand, don't come to see me in the future!"

Jia Lian gritted his teeth, got up and said angrily, "Come on, let's go, the second master will fight it out today!"

Said, called Xing'er, Zhao'er, accompanied by a powerful servant, rushed to the front yard aggressively, and shoved and shoved with Jia Amnesty's people in public.

…………

Naturally, this drama of fatherly kindness and filial piety quickly spread throughout the whole family, and everyone in the whole family knew about it, and even Jia Zheng, who lived in seclusion, got the news, and said "out of place" a few times.

Just at this time, it was rumored that Jia Yucun had visited, claiming that there was something important to report in person.

Although Jia Zheng thanked the guests behind closed doors, he still wanted to be lenient with Jia Yucun, who was able to do things and speak well, so he immediately asked Jia Yucun to speak in the inner study.

Seeing that Jia Yucun came with a large stack of papers under his armpit, Jia Zheng thought he had found some rare copy, so he came here to offer the treasure.

Unexpectedly, after Jia Yucun spread out on the table, it turned out to be a thick stack of newspapers.

"This is?"

"This is the newspaper to be published tomorrow!"

Because there were several turmoil caused by newspapers in the past, after the finalization of several major newspapers in central Beijing, they had to submit them to the relevant yamen for filing - Shuntian Prefecture, as a local snake, was naturally among them.

Jia Yucun jumped out a few pages at random, pointed to the articles above and explained: "When my nephew was reviewing the manuscript, I found that there were many articles criticizing Zhou Long's book, criticizing engineering, criticizing the New Deal, and criticizing Changqing."

"Is there such a thing?"

Jia Zheng casually picked up one of them and looked at it carefully, and saw that there were indeed two sneering articles about Jiao Shun and Xinzheng.

"This matter is quite strange."

Jia Yucun continued: "I also paid attention to Zhou Long's case. It is not an exaggeration to say that the evidence is solid. Now that there are so many articles trying to reverse the case, if there is no one behind it, my nephew..."

"Good article, really good article!"

Just as he was talking, he saw Jia Zheng hit Jie and exclaimed: "This article should make a lot of sense!"

Jia Yucun was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Uncle, this..."

"cough!"

Only then did Jia Zheng realize that his feet had been exposed, and hurriedly coughed dryly and asked, "What do you want to do with it?"

"Naturally, we should inform Changqing as soon as possible, and then try to deal with it..."

The more Jia Yucun spoke, the more hesitant he became. He was the most observant person, so he could tell that Jia Zhengfang was showing his true feelings.

But didn't this family uncle always admire Jiao Shun?

Why all of a sudden...

Although he didn't know what to do, he quickly changed his attitude and said with a smile: "But maybe my nephew is worrying unnecessarily, how to deal with it is up to Uncle Shi to decide."

Jia Zheng nodded in satisfaction, chatted casually, and ordered someone to send Jia Yucun away.

After Jia Yucun left, he couldn't help but picked up the newspaper and read the article that derogated Jiao Shun from beginning to end.

Then he shook his head in admiration: "I haven't seen such a pungent and sharp writing style for many years, but I don't know which literary rookie it is, but it looks familiar, and the characters and places are quite detailed..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help suspecting that the so-called 'Master of Qiuzhai' was actually an old friend of the Rongguo Mansion, otherwise how could there be such a thing?
In the past, Jia Zheng might have gone to check and check, but now he is too lazy to bother, and there is only one thing on his mind: urging Jiao Shun to move out as soon as possible.

Although he also understood in his heart that the matter between Mrs. Wang and Jiao Shun was probably due to his own overthinking, but the incident of Mrs. Wang's nakedness in front of Jiao Shun on the day of the bewitching was definitely not fake, right?

Or take the opportunity to drive out, so as not to worry.
