The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 422 The leader of the alliance 'This is very reasonable' plus more [Part [-]]

The chaos outside was turned upside down, but the Grand View Garden was filled with lights and festoons, so it was very festive.

Since the third day of August was Jia Mu's birthday, and the large flower hall in the front yard had not yet been completed, Jia Zheng specifically asked Jia Yuanchun in the palace to set the main venue of the birthday banquet in the main hall of the Grand View Garden.

For such matters, Wang Xifeng naturally took the position of the chief executive officer, and because Li Wan was in charge of the affairs of the garden, he condescended to be her deputy.

If it was in the past, Li Wan would have been unwilling to live under Wang Xifeng, but now the two have become comrades-in-arms carrying the same gun, and her results on that front far surpassed Wang Xifeng's. Once checked, it is uncertain who will lose and who will gain!

But it came to the first day of August.

Since everything in the garden was ready, Wang Xifeng personally invited the old lady to inspect the garden to see if there were still things that needed to be added or improved.

All the people in the Grand View Garden will naturally be accompanied by them.

When the stroll was approaching noon, the old lady went to the hut in Qingtang to rest her feet. Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, and Li Wan were there to accompany her, and Baoyu was wrapped around her knees for fun. Take a rest in the house.

Putting aside Yingchun and Xichun who are out of gregarious.

Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, and Jia Tanchun gathered together to whisper when they entered the door.

This discussion is naturally based on the recent disturbances surrounding the New Deal, engineering, and Jiao Shun.

The four of them can be regarded as witnesses of this incident, but even though they are as smart as Daiyu and as ambitious as Tanchun, they never imagined that the manuscript written by themselves would eventually cause such a storm that would affect the government and the public!

So until now, the four of them still feel like they are in a dream.

Seeing that the second sister and the fourth sister didn't pay attention to this side, Tanchun put his elbow on Daiyu and whispered: "Sister Lin, you went to Jiao's house yesterday, did you find out any new news?"

Ever since she heard about what happened in front of the gate of Dali Temple through various channels, Tanchun has completely succumbed to Jiao Shun's tricks—she didn't know that Jiao Shun would also push the boat along at the same time, she just assumed that all of this had long been in Jiao Shun's calculations, So it was more and more substituted into the template of a heroic character.

At the same time, I am very excited to be able to participate in such a big event.

Therefore, whenever she had a chance these days, she couldn't help but want to inquire about the latest developments in the matter.

"What news can there be?"

Lin Daiyu turned her affectionate eyes up slightly, and said helplessly: "Don't you see that Xiao Zhixia is going to have a full moon, I'm going to ask what to do with the full moon wine, how can I have the time to inquire about such trivial matters?"

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly said: "Sister, don't forget to bring my gift too!"

Xue Baochai listened to their conversation with a smile on the side, but felt a little lonely in her heart. Although she was also an insider, compared to Daiyu, Xiangyun, and Tanchun, she could almost be regarded as a bystander, unlike the three women who relied on articles Stir the situation.

Although Baochai is not as flamboyant as Tanchun, why doesn't she consider herself a heroine in her bones?
But unfortunately, he missed this opportunity to show his talents.

She unconsciously put her gaze on Shi Xiangyun, thinking in her heart that if she hadn't...

"How come there is no wind at all?"

At this time, Tanchun persisted and asked: "Didn't those imperial merchants join hands to request the opening of engineering enrollment places two days ago? Is there no follow-up to this matter?"

Lin Daiyu's beautiful eyes turned away, she curled her lips and said, "You are asking the wrong person."

Seeing her looking at Baochai out of the corner of her eye, Tanchun suddenly woke up like a dream, clapped her hands and said, "It's so great, I was so confused that I forgot that there was Sister Bao! Sister Bao, your family is also among the 24 royal merchants." Lie, I wonder if it is convenient to disclose one or two things?"

Facing Tanchun's eyes full of hope, Xue Baochai covered her lips with a round fan and smiled sweetly: "The third younger sister is also in a hurry. The excerpts jointly played by the emperor and merchants are not as good as Master Qiuzhai's call for thieves. It will take a few days to find out."

Hearing her mention of her pen name, Tanchun couldn't help Xia's cheeks growing, and said arrogantly, half ashamed and half proud: "Sister, stop talking, it's obvious that the three of us started writing together, but we are all outside. Scolding me for being a minion, scared me so much that I even wanted to change Qiu Shuangzhai's name!"

Facing her rhetoric about Versailles, Shi Xiangyun immediately got up and showed his teeth and claws: "Okay, you are trying to say that we are not as good as you? Sister Lin, let's deal with her together!"

Lin Daiyu also cooperated with her bluff, but Tanchun refused to take the initiative to beg for mercy, and the three of them immediately laughed and made a fuss.

Xue Baochai covered her mouth and smiled, but the inexplicable loneliness in her heart became more intense. After the three of them came to an end, she couldn't help but blurted out and asked, "But I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future."

The three sisters looked at each other.

After a while, Shi Xiangyun was the first to break the silence, and said firmly: "There must be a chance, sister, don't worry."

Lin Daiyu shook her head again and again when she heard the words: "Brother Jiao will move out in the spring of next year at the latest, and I'm afraid only you will have the chance at that time."

Tanchun hesitated to speak, and the word "Jianxie" unconsciously appeared in her mind again, but this time, the feeling of repulsion in her heart had been reduced to almost nothing, and even after thinking of Jianxie, Qiu The master of Zhai came out of the rivers and lakes again, and Jiao was in the dark, flipping his hands in the court hall, turning his hands into clouds and raining his hands.

And Xue Baochai's gaze fell on Shi Xiangyun again, with envy and regret flashing indistinctly.

Just at this time, Baoyu ran in bouncingly, and greeted happily: "Come out, come out, the river lanterns are going to be released outside!"

Baochai stabilized her mind and answered his call at the head, and all the sisters followed suit.

The old lady led this group of people to the viewing platform in front of the main hall. Not long after, they saw countless river lanterns floating down from the stream surrounding the Grand View Garden, among which a huge peach was particularly conspicuous.

Others pointed at the stream, but Jia Baoyu looked at it for a while, but felt a little disappointed, and muttered: "It's really boring to put the river lanterns during the day, not even a bit poetic."

Immediately afterwards, he excitedly suggested: "I just heard from Sister Feng that there are still a lot of river lanterns in the warehouse. Why don't we play another wave at night, and just use this as the theme to organize a poetry meeting!"

"You're about to receive your supernatural powers!"

Xue Baochai hurriedly advised: "If you miss the old lady's birthday, it depends on how you explain to the wife!"

"What are you afraid of?"

Jia Baoyu didn't take it seriously: "If it's really not enough, let Sister Feng go and buy some. I heard that these are all made to order from the workshop of the Ministry of Industry. Now that Brother Jiao is here, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy them? "

Seeing his heartless and self-willed appearance, Xue Baochai sighed helplessly, and the regret in his heart became more and more intense.

At this moment, Zhou Rui's family rushed over, saw Xiangyun at a glance, and immediately said all blessings with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Miss Shi, congratulations to Miss Shi!"

Shi Xiangyun was baffled by her trouble, and asked in bewilderment: "Aunt Zhou, where does this joy come from?"

"Uncle Jiao has been promoted, isn't this a great happy event?!"

As Zhou Rui's family said, they went to Mrs. Wang to report the matter on their own.

However, Tanchun reached out to stop her from the side, and asked repeatedly: "Auntie said halfway to leave? See, Yun girl is in a hurry, auntie, please explain clearly, what official has Brother Jiao been promoted to?"

Just looking at her performance, she was much more eager than Xiangyun.

Xue Baochai and Yingchun also pricked up their ears, but Lin Daiyu and Xichun didn't care about it.

Zhou Rui's family said with a smile: "I didn't inquire very carefully, I only heard that the emperor wants to imitate the Imperial College to make some kind of engineering school, and specially appointed Mr. Jiao to make the sacrificial wine for this engineering school."

"Sacrificial wine?!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison, and Xue Baochai asked in disbelief: "The sacrifice wine is from the fourth rank, but Brother Jiao has just been promoted to the sixth rank chief for less than a year, and now he has been promoted to the third rank...Auntie, did you hear me wrong? ?”

"It's the Gong Xue Jijiu, that's right!"

Zhou Rui's family scratched their heads and said: "But I heard that it's not from the fourth rank, but from the fifth rank."

Tanchun nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's unlikely that the engineering school is on par with the Imperial College, and it's normal for the sacrificial wine to be a little lower—in this way, it should be true."

That being said, everyone including her still couldn't believe it. You must know that Jia Zheng is still a member of the fifth rank until now. Head up? !

and……

The official position of sacrificial wine has always been a stepping stone for accumulating power to reach high positions. For example, Sui Shilong, the chief assistant of the dynasty, once served as the Imperial College Jijiu.

Although Gongxue's sacrificial wine is not comparable to that of Guozijian, it is still enough to reflect the emperor's faith in Jiao Shun, and Jiao Shun's future can be expected!
Seeing that all the girls were overwhelmed by the news he brought, Zhou Rui's family hurriedly took the opportunity to report the matter to Mrs. Wang.

Soon the news spread throughout the Grand View Garden.

Everyone was shocked and envious of this, and made fun of Shi Xiangyun one after another. In private, there were those like Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, and Xing who were overjoyed, and there were also those like Yingchun and Baochai who secretly regretted it.

The old lady looked worried.

It wasn't that she was unhappy about Jiao Shun's promotion, but she was afraid that Jia Zheng would not be able to accept the reality. Her son had always wanted to make a difference in the officialdom, but he hadn't made any progress for more than ten years. Finally, he had a chance to be promoted. Because of family ugliness, I felt shameless to see others and missed it.

Now, Jiao Shun, who was born as a domestic slave, is allowed to come from behind...

Thinking back to Jia Zheng's intention to drive Jiao Shun away a while ago, and she managed to persuade him, but now that something like this happened again, and her son didn't know what to do, Jia's mother was very distressed.

Who knew that Jiao Shun's promotion was not over yet!
In the afternoon, more detailed news came back to the Rongguo Mansion, but it turned out that Jiao Shun had not only been promoted to the fifth-grade engineering school Jijiu, but he had not lost his job as the head of the Department of Affairs, and he continued to hold the concurrent post.

In this way, it can be said that fame and fortune are unparalleled!
