The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 410

Ever since he visited Jia Lan, Shi Xiangyun felt a little uneasy. He tossed and turned all night, and found Baochai's house before dawn the next day. He pulled Sister Bao, who had a yellow sticker on the mirror, and said, "Sister Bao, what do you say about this?" Will something go wrong?"

Although she didn't specify what it was, Baochai knew that she must be worried about Jiao Shun's plan.

He laughed and joked, "My sister was full of confidence yesterday, she insisted on forcing me to do something evil, why are you panicking now?"

"Oh, good sister, I came to ask you because I was really worried~!"

Shi Xiangyun held Baochai's arm and acted coquettishly, and Baochai's sister, who was arching straight, hurriedly begged for mercy.

Baochai rearranged her clothes and was about to have a serious discussion with Xiangyun, but found that the girl was staring at her front.

Baochai covered her chest uncomfortably, and said angrily, "What kind of monster are you?"

But Shi Xiangyun chuckled, covered his mouth and said: "It's strange that there are always people who compare sister to Concubine Yang. If this continues, I'm afraid I will catch up with my aunt and her old man."

"Pooh!"

Xue Baochai turned sideways in embarrassment, crossed her arms to cover her chest, and said angrily, "What are you here for? If you do this again, I will ignore you."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, can't I do it!"

Shi Xiangyun resolutely begged for mercy again, coaxed a few times with a playful smile, and then the two sisters brought up the business again.

I only heard Xiangyun distressed and said: "I originally agreed to this matter. Firstly, I wanted to help Brother Jiao, and secondly, I was greedy for fun, but after hearing about Brother Lan yesterday, I was in a state of turmoil in my heart. ——It is said that a gentleman uses his words but not his hands, but those students would not hesitate to fight against Lan Geer, who was innocent and implicated.

"Besides, the involvement of this matter is far beyond what we can expect. What should we do if something goes wrong?"

"You can rest assured."

Baochai hurriedly comforted him, "Since brother Jiao took the initiative to provoke this matter, he probably has already prepared a strategy of advance and retreat, and he will definitely not put himself in danger."

Although this is what she said in her heart, it is not without reservations.

From Baochai's point of view, no matter how well-planned it is, it will be difficult to eliminate the variables in such a matter of taking a chestnut out of the fire. Some risk taking.

However, saying these words will only increase Xiangyun's troubles, and it will have no effect at all.

Seeing that Xiangyun was still frowning, she joked again with a smile: "Besides, how does Brother Lan compare with Brother Jiao? If Brother Jiao were to encounter such a scene, I'm afraid it would be the turn of those few scholars The head-hugging mouse has escaped."

In Shi Xiangyun's mind, Jiao Shun's taller and more powerful body emerged, and his anxiety finally eased a lot, and he chatted with Baochai for a while, and then went back to the house to wash and eat.

After sending Xiangyun away, Baochai briefly drank half a bowl of porridge, seven or eight quail wrapped in beef soup, and then set off for the Qingtang hut.

She told Aunt Xue yesterday that she wanted to find out, and now that she got the news, she would naturally report back—but since she had already made an oath, she couldn't make it too clear.

So when I saw Aunt Xue, I could only say vaguely: "I have already found out, but I promised others not to say it clearly—in short, this matter is far more complicated than what uncle thought, so there is some other reason. It's best to be patient first, and the Jiao family will move out by the end of the year at the latest, why bother to make trouble at this time?"

"Ah~"

Aunt Xue hesitated to speak, and finally she could only sigh: "Who says it's not, I'll discuss it with your aunt."

Worried about her daughter asking about the reason, she hurriedly took out a letter from the box and handed it over: "Your second aunt sent someone to send a letter, saying that after July and a half, you will send your sister to Beijing, I guess At this moment, the two brothers and sisters have already left."

"Why did you come in such a hurry?"

Baochai was surprised: "Didn't you say that you will leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival at home?"

"Isn't the Mei family pressing too hard?"

Aunt Xue said helplessly: "It is said that the old lady has seen that her energy is not good, and she hopes that your sister can leave as soon as possible, and she will try to be as simple as possible in accordance with the common etiquette."

"Isn't this a happy event?!"

Baochai couldn't help being a little annoyed, so she sat across the kang table, shook the round fan vigorously, and said: "As the saying goes, 'if the name is not correct, the speech will not follow'. Now his family is urging him blindly regardless of etiquette, and the second aunt is obedient to him. And how do you know that the Mei family won't make more progress in the future?"

"Ah~"

Aunt Xue sighed again, straightened her skirt, and said with a wry smile: "Your second aunt is like me, she is a woman who has no opinions, and now the Xue family... plus this is what your second uncle made before his death." For the marriage, she naturally only dared Xiao Gui Cao to follow, for fear that the Mei family would regret the marriage."

Baochai silently opened the envelope and looked at it, and saw that the contents inside were the same as what her mother had said, except that she asked her family to help buy it, which was not easy to raise in a short period of time.

Baochai put down the letter, and said helplessly, "It's more than a month ahead of time. The old house can't make it in time for the construction period. It's all right. The old lady's birthday is coming. How can we suddenly withdraw at this time?"

"I'm worrying about that too."

Aunt Xue suggested hesitantly, "Why don't we let the brothers and sisters live in the old house first, and let's celebrate the old lady's birthday before going to meet up?"

"inappropriate."

Baochai shook her head: "If it's just Xue Biao and Baoqin, it's nothing if it's sooner or later, but since the Mei family is so urgent, they will definitely come to visit when the time comes, and there won't even be an elder in the family. Doesn't it make it more obvious that his brother and sister are in distress?"

"That……"

Aunt Xue opened her skirt in annoyance, wondering: "Then what should we do?"

Baochai glanced unconsciously, and found that there was still an insurmountable gap between them. It seemed that unless they waited for their own children in the future...

Bah~
She spat secretly, cleared away the distracting thoughts in her mind, and said seriously: "In my daughter's opinion, let's explain it to my aunt and the old lady."

"That's all it takes."

As Aunt Xue said, she put the two chapters together and said, "I hope the old lady will be kind enough to let us move back to the old house early."

Although Baochai came up with the idea, she felt that things might not go so smoothly.

At this time, Aunt Xue repackaged the letter, got up and changed into casual clothes, and said, "I'll show this letter to your aunt for a look, maybe I have to go to the old lady's place later, are you going to come with me, or..."

Baochai hurriedly said: "I still have some things to discuss with Sister Yun and Third Sister, so mother can do it herself."

Aunt Xue took the letter and went to Mrs. Wang's house.

However, after seeing Mrs. Wang, she was not in a hurry to talk about her own private affairs, but repeated Baochai's words, and then sighed: "Bao girl doesn't know the hidden truth after all, if brother-in-law is really a persuasion, It won't be the same as it is now."

Mrs. Wang had just finished her morning class, and although the weather was getting colder, she still refused to restrain herself. Fortunately, Aunt Xue was used to her sister's open state.

Mrs. Wang frowned and muttered: "It's okay for others to say these things. If I say it, I'm afraid he will become more suspicious..."

Aunt Xue was about to nod her head when she heard this, but suddenly she heard Mrs. Wang say decisively: "But why should I care about his feelings?!"

"elder sister!"

Aunt Xue was shocked, but Madam Wang raised her hand to stop her when she was about to persuade her, she touched her heart without any barriers and said: "After I was persuaded by you yesterday, I also thought about enduring the calm for a while and taking a step back. The sky is fine, but until the time of chanting, the shame and indignation in my heart has not weakened, but it has accumulated in my heart so heavy that I can't breathe!"

To put it bluntly, it means that the more you think about it for a while, the more angry you become, and the more you think about it when you take a step back, the more you lose.

Aunt Xue couldn't hide the bitterness between her sister's brows, so she couldn't persuade her anymore, but she couldn't hide the uneasiness on her face.

Instead, Madam Wang comforted her and said: "I just said a few words in a fair manner, I never disclosed the matter to Chang Qing, so what if he becomes suspicious for a while?"

It is not completely unreasonable to say Mrs. Wang's words, but how could she expect that, now the eyes and ears of Jiao Tailang have already 'whip' to the East and West Mansions.

…………

at the same time.

Li Wan's Daoxiang Village welcomes two more female guests, but the news has finally reached the East Mansion, so Mrs You dragged Mrs Xu to visit.

After last night's enlightenment, Jia Lan's condition is much better now, she is willing to eat in the morning, and knows how to say hello when she meets people, but she is not energetic.

You Shi took Jia Lan to inquire for a few words, and seeing that he was indeed not injured, he felt relieved, turned around and dragged Li Wan to the outside room, complaining repeatedly: "You don't want to say anything to such a big matter. I heard the news about those dogs in the morning, and thought what happened to Lang Geer!"

As he spoke, he patted his chest and said: "At that time, I was so scared that my heart was pounding. Don't believe me, I might not be able to understand you before. Now that I have Brother Xiong, I know what it means to be connected by flesh and blood."

After a pause, he looked Li Wanqi up and down again and said, "The child has been wronged, why does your complexion look better?"

Although Li Wan is a fierce general in actual combat, he still knows what courtesy, righteousness and shame are when he puts on his clothes, so he hurriedly interrupted and said, "Don't just talk about me and Brother Lan, how is Brother Zhen in your house? I heard that you are not seriously ill this time?"

"Why mention him so well?"

You Shi showed an expression of extreme disgust, and then suppressed his voice and said: "To tell you the truth, I only found out recently that what he had this time was actually a dirty disease - at the end of last year, because he was greedy for new things, he was in Sifangguan Street I took care of two foreign women with yellow hair and blue eyes, and it was around that time that I got infected."

As he said that, he sneered gloatingly: "I said at the time that the foreign woman looks like she has a white hair. What good can a coquettish person get? Now our house is gloomy and gloomy. Those who have been in relationship with him for half a year, from those few concubines to the three-point handsome rough envoy women, are all worried about being dragged by him."

Hearing that Jia Zhen had contracted a heart disease, Li Wan was surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he took it for granted.

Looking at Youshi's contemptuous appearance, he couldn't help joking: "So, you escaped by luck, and you will have to thank Brother Xiong and his father in the future."

"Bah~ Isn't it enough for me to thank him for being a big fat boy?"

You Shi said, and suddenly became serious again: "Although Brother Lan is not his own flesh and blood, he is not far from Brother Xiong. Besides, this matter happened because of him, so he can't just stand by and watch. He must be asked for an explanation!"

Li Wan subconsciously nodded and said: "He said the same thing yesterday..."

"Okay!"

This time, Youshi caught the conversation, and said with his hands on his hips: "I said you look so good, so you went fooling around with that murderer again yesterday! Tell me honestly, you have been doing it behind my back all this time." How many bad things did you do?!"

Where is Li Wan willing to say?

They were laughing and laughing when they saw Yindie leading a little servant girl in from the outside, and the two sisters-in-law restrained themselves.

You Shi asked unhappily: "I've only been out for a while, what happened at home?"

"nothing."

The little maid hurriedly said: "It's the old lady in-law who just sent someone to inform me that she is going to come to our house as a guest in the morning."

"here we go again?"

Hearing this, Youshi subconsciously took two steps outside, only to realize that the servant girl said that she was visiting in the morning, not that she had already arrived at Ningguo Mansion, so she couldn't help laughing and said: "I forgot, now the family also lives as a servant." It's time to call the maidservant—don't worry, wait for them to come and report to me."

Not to mention You Shi and Li Wan.

But she said that this day, Mrs. You got up before dawn to get up, borrowed her daughter's headdress and stuck it in her head.He also ordered the newly hired servants to clean the newly purchased carriage three times, and wrapped it in a layer of fine silk to show off their wealth, trying their best to earn face in front of the powerful slaves in Ningguo Mansion.

She didn't want to wait for her third sister, who had not recovered from her hip injury, to call out her second sister who loved the jewelry, and walked out of the house arrogantly, but the carriage was blocked at the intersection by a group of scholars, and it couldn't move forward for a long time.

Anxious to show off old lady You, she hopped her feet and ordered the driver to drive forward through the window.

The coachman didn't have the guts, he replied fearfully: "Madam, don't worry, these sour butts are all blushing and thick-necked, as if they are going to fight someone desperately, we'd better not provoke them."

Hearing what he said, Mrs. You couldn't help opening the curtains and peeking around. She saw the scholars blocking the road filled with righteous indignation, and she clenched her fists and shouted slogans from time to time, saying that she would "swear to punish the country's thieves and clear the root cause".

At this time, another scholar helped out a limping man covered in bandages from the house at the intersection.

Seeing this scene, the mood of the scholars rose a bit visible to the naked eye.

But the wounded man hissed: "Students, yesterday I scolded Jiao Shun in a moment of righteous anger, offended the noble son of the Rongguo Mansion, and was ordered to reflect at home, but I didn't want... I didn't want someone to break into my house last night Give me a good...cough cough cough!"

His violent cough seemed to ignite the atmosphere around him, and the voice of "swear to punish the country's thieves and get to the bottom of it" shook the sky and the earth.

The wounded man also yelled twice, and then said with great emotion: "The head can be broken and the blood can flow, but the moral integrity of a scholar must never be lost! Now I am going to the academy to expose this matter, and ask the head of the mountain to come forward and lead us Ask for justice——Would you be willing to go with me?!"

"Go together, go together!"

"If the head of the mountain doesn't care, let's go to the Ministry of Rites to ask for an explanation!"

"Going to Dali Temple to ask for thieves is the right way!"

The students crowded around the wounded man and rushed forward, obviously there was a carriage parked not far away, but they chose to swagger through the streets by coincidence.

And it wasn't until then that You's carriage was able to pass.

Mrs. You retracted her neck, and asked her two daughters curiously: "What kind of treacherous officials have appeared in this court?"

Second Sister You shook her head in a daze, while Third Sister You sneered and said, "The first traitor in this dynasty is the Emperor's uncle, King Zhongshun, but I'm afraid these sour men won't have the guts to sue!"
