The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 471 Dispute
In fact, Jiao Shun didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Originally, he planned to repeat the old tricks to sharpen Miaoyu's temperament, who would have thought that Miaoyu would give in so quickly.

Last night in the Great Hall of Great Heroes, her strength of resistance was not even as strong as that of the willing Wang Xifeng—of course, every time Feng Lazi provoked her, she would quickly be defeated, and in terms of endurance, she was far inferior to Miaoyu.

These are not discussed in detail.

But it was said that Jiao Shun didn't drive the mule cart out of the back door of the Muni courtyard until it was three poles high in the sun.

Speechless all the way.

Seeing the intersection of Rongning Street, I saw a donkey-drawn cart parked in front of the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion from a distance. The boys were going in and out to load things on the cart, and there were several maids and servants surrounding the cart. say.

As soon as Jiao Shun thought about it, he guessed that Grandma Liu was leaving.

So when he got home, he specially sent Hongyu to send 15 taels of silver to Grandma Liu—not because he was stingy, but mainly because it was not easy to overwhelm Rongguo Mansion.

As the saying goes, gold shines wherever it goes. Recently, as Lin Hongyu has gradually shown her talents, Jiao Shun likes to order her to do everything. So they could only calm down in embarrassment.

Because Xing Xiuyan heard Jiao Shun mention Grandma Liu, and asked a little about the reason, she quietly added another half bolt of silk cloth to her.

Hongyu gathered up the silver and hugged the silk cloth, and hurried to the door, only to see that Grandma Liu had gotten into the donkey cart and was about to leave the city.

So he hurriedly raised his voice to stop, saying that his uncle also had a gift.

Grandma Liu jumped out of the car in a hurry when she heard that it was the master of offering wine that day. She thanked her a thousand times and asked her grandson Baner to kowtow in the direction of Jiao's house before loading the things into the car. Wiping away tears, he bid farewell to Zhou Rui's family, Ping'er and Hongyu.

"She really caught up this time."

Zhou Rui's family said, then greeted Ping'er and Hongyu and said: "Let's go, we should go back and return to our orders, oh~ I really can't finish this day, sometimes I really want to go to the village in the countryside for a few days. A clear day."

"What's so hard about this?"

Ping'er has always been used to her, so he smiled and said: "Didn't Uncle Zhou go to various villages with the second master for an autumn tour? Next time, Auntie will follow."

"I do think so."

Zhou Rui's family shook his head and said: "But the wife can't be left alone, right? Besides, how many things are going on in this family..."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw a group of horses galloping towards him. The leader was none other than Zhou Rui who was going to inspect the autumn harvest. Since he was here, the people in the gorgeous carriage behind him must be There is no doubt about Jia Lian.

Surprised and delighted, Zhou Rui's family rushed forward and shouted: "The head of the family, why didn't you send someone to inform the family, and you came back?"

"Appreciate~"

Zhou Rui reined in the reins hard, got off the horse but ignored his wife, and asked Ping'er, "Is Second Mistress at home?"

"It should be sitting in the small hall right now."

Ping'er answered, and seeing his expression changed, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "Uncle Zhou came back in such a hurry, and asked Second Grandma again, could it be that something went wrong in the village?"

"Ah~"

Zhou Rui sighed, and said helplessly: "If it's just the things in the Zhuangzi, it would be easy. There hasn't been a good harvest in the past few years, and more or less is nothing."

From what he meant, it was obvious that the problem was still very serious.

Before Ping'er could ask again, Jia Lian's carriage also arrived. Before the carriage was completely stable, Jia Lian jumped down from behind and staggered half a step. Fortunately, a servant helped him to avoid falling.

But he shoved the boy away ungratefully, turned around and asked the same question as Zhou Rui: "Where is your grandma?"

Zhou Rui rushed to answer: "Young one just asked, the second grandma should be handling housework in the small living room."

Jia Lian stopped talking, and went straight in with a sullen face and sullen head.

Seeing this, Ping'er hurriedly followed up.

…………

There are two flowers on each table.

As soon as Grandma Liu left, all the daughters gathered in Daoxiang Village, but it was the fourth girl, Xichun, who was asked by the old lady to describe yesterday's visit to the courtyard and have a banquet, and make it into a picture book.

Xichun had no interest in poetry clubs at all, and recently she had been vaguely aware that Chaidai Xiangyun and Tanchun were secretly doing what she and her second sister were doing behind their backs, so she became more unwilling to bother, and simply used this as an excuse to ask Take a one-year leave, and will not participate in the activities of the poetry club during this period.

Everyone tried to persuade her to stay, but Dai Yuyin laughed and said, "It's because of what the old lady said yesterday, and she asked her to draw some garden pictures, which gave her an excuse to be lazy."

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly corrected: "Don't blame the old lady, it's just what Grandma Liu said."

Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "But, it's all her words. She is the grandma of that school, so just call her a 'mother locust'."

Everyone laughed.

Seeing that everyone was talking and joking, but refused to give a fake, Xichun complained again: "I originally said that I only painted this garden, but yesterday the old lady said that only painting the garden would not make a house look like it? Tell me to draw even the people. It would be good if it looks like a picture of carnival -- but I don't know how to do fine work, and I don't know how to draw figures, but I don't like to refute the old lady's opinion, it's really embarrassing."

Daiyu covered her mouth with her fan, and asked with a smile, "That's all right, but I don't know if you can paint grass and insects?"

Li Wan was eating melon seeds at the side, and his dexterous tongue could wrap the kernels out, and he peeled off half a plate of melon seeds in a short time. Now hearing Daiyu's words, he couldn't help but wonder: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ? How can there be grass and insects in this painting?"

Lin Daiyu spread her hands: "It doesn't matter if you don't draw other grasshoppers, if you don't draw the 'female locust' yesterday, wouldn't it be a lack of code?!"

Everyone knew that there was more to her joke, so they laughed even harder.

Daiyu herself laughed so much that she put her hands on her chest, and urged Xichun: "Draw it quickly, I even have the inscription and postscript, and I'll call it "Chewing with Locusts Picture"!"

Everyone laughed more and more when they heard this.

At this moment, I heard a sound of "咚咚". When I hurriedly looked, it turned out that it was Xiangyun lying on the back of the chair. It tilted to the east, and even the person and the chair fell over. Fortunately, there was a plank wall to block it, so it didn't fall to the ground and fell firmly.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't stop.

Tan Chunyuan also laughed for a while, and suddenly remembered Jiao Shun's previous criticism, so he hurriedly stopped laughing, and changed the topic and asked: "By the way, everyone is so neatly assembled today, but why don't you see Sister Baoqin?"

Xue Baochai hurriedly explained: "I went to see her brother, and it seems that I have to prepare the boat back to the south in advance."

At this statement, everyone laughed.

Because of Baoqin's temperament, although they only got along for less than a month, everyone was a little reluctant to part with her.

Jia Baoyu even blurted out: "Why did you leave? Wouldn't it be better to stay at our house and talk and laugh every day?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Xue Baochai put on a serious face, and said: "She still has her mother at home, but now she is ill again. It must be the fault...otherwise, she should have gone back to Jinling!"

She showed her filial piety, and Baoyu realized that she was being abrupt, and she dared not reply in embarrassment, but there was still a look of reluctance on her face.

At this time, Amber suddenly found it, but it was the old lady who asked everyone to contribute money to celebrate Wang Xifeng's birthday.

Li Wan hurriedly asked Mrs. Wang about Aunt Xue's practice, and then asked everyone to pay money by head.

After gathering the money together, she said again: "It's imperative to inform Mrs. Huizhen, the old lady is not easy to speak, why don't I go for a walk - when I have all her share, I will go to the house again." Send it yourself."

After hearing this, Amber went back to the old lady's courtyard to report.

However, when we got to the courtyard, we saw that the festive atmosphere before going out was gone, and the maids and servants were all silent, and couldn't help but peek inside.

Amber didn't understand what was going on, and was worried about being hit by the muzzle of the gun, so she asked a familiar maid to ask what happened.

But it turned out that Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang and others were talking and laughing about celebrating Wang Xifeng's birthday, when suddenly Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian hurried over.

At the beginning, the old lady joked that "Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here" at this time. Everyone was having a meeting and laughing. I didn't want Wang Xifeng to open her mouth, but the joyful atmosphere came to an abrupt end.

"Old Ancestor, Prince Zhongshun's Mansion is also starting a tire shop business!"

The atmosphere in the room was stagnant, and the smile on Jia Mu's face was also visible to the naked eye. She frowned and said, "Where did you get this news? Have you ever confirmed it?"

Wang Xifeng looked sideways at Jia Lian, Jia Lian immediately took a step forward, and said with a bitter face: "There shouldn't be any falsehood, the steward of the Zhen Guogong's house told me secretly when my grandson was patrolling in the village - and said yes, said yes There is an inside thief in our family, and they have given the latest production method of the tires, together with the cost and gross profit, to Prince Zhongshun's residence!"

When Jiao Shun led the planning of the pneumatic tire business, most of the strategies he formulated were imitated by later generations. Firstly, the cost control was good, and secondly, the technology was continuously improved. Therefore, although there are imitations on the market, they cannot threaten Rongguo Mansion at all. dominance.

In addition to the addition of imperial certification, even the method of price reduction and promotion was useless, and it monopolized [-]% of the market.

And because of the repair of the courtyard, Rongguo Mansion went from 'thrifty' to extravagance, and the expenses continued to increase. The tire shop has almost become the lifeblood of the mansion. Now I heard that this business is being watched by the Zhongshun Palace, and they even colluded with each other. The inner ghost stole the latest technology, and everyone couldn't help being uproarious.

The old lady slammed her crutches on the ground a few times, and shouted: "How could this be, how could this be?! Didn't I tell you to take care of the shop? But why did you make a fuss? The house thief?!"

"The old lady is clear!"

Wang Xifeng hurriedly knelt down: "The grandson took over the task herself, and she didn't dare to relax for a moment. Except for the south side, only a few important stewards in the mansion know about the craftsmanship. Ordinarily, it shouldn't be possible..."

Mrs. Wang subconsciously wanted to speak for her, but then remembered Baoyu and Baochai's marriage, and closed her mouth hesitantly.

On the contrary, Aunt Xue couldn't see Sister Feng's pitiful appearance, so she took the initiative to smooth things over and said: "Old lady calm down, as the saying goes, only a thousand days can be a thief, and there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days - now instead of blaming Feng girl, it is better to find out as soon as possible. What went wrong, and then try to fix it."

The old lady actually knew that it was Wang Xifeng's fault.

That King Zhongshun is used to being lawless and has always ignored the rules by whatever means. Not to mention that he is scheming behind the scenes, he is really making a big show of it. I am afraid that the Rongguo Mansion may not be able to guard against it.

So he sighed slightly, and said helplessly, "Get up and talk."

He scolded Jia Lian again: "What are you doing stupidly, why don't you help your wife!"

Jia Lian made a gesture to help, but Wang Xifeng stood up early, and took a half step to the side without any trace, which made him feel embarrassed.

Wang Xifeng acted as if he didn't see it, and said sternly: "What's wrong, I will definitely check it out in the next two days, it's just..."

Having said that, she bit her lower lip hesitantly.

"Just how?"

Because Mrs. Wang just watched from the sidelines, she was afraid that her thoughts would show traces, so she hurried out to join in the show at this time.

Only then did Wang Xifeng say: "It's just that King Loyalty is no better than others. I'm afraid the method we use on others may not be applicable to the prince."

Everyone nodded when they heard the words.

With the arrogance of King Zhongshun, if the Rongguo Mansion really wanted to take any countermeasures, they would be repaid tenfold.

At that time, the tip of the needle will pinch the wheat awn, let alone lose, even if you win, you will be hurt, and you will greatly offend King Zhongshun.

Mother Jia figured this out first, and her old face, which was originally full of wrinkles, suddenly became a little more dignified.

If the tire shop had not become an important economic pillar of the Rongguo Mansion, she would have even thought about enduring it.

But I'm afraid that the more tolerant the Rongguo Mansion is, the more King Zhongshun will push forward!

I was in a dilemma for a while, so I had to turn my attention to Wang Xifeng, who was always shrewd: "Feng girl, what can you do to deal with it?"

Wang Xifeng shook his head directly at first, but then said: "I can't help it, but isn't there an expert in this matter? Why don't we ask him to come and give us an idea?"

"Experts?"

Mother Jia didn't understand for a while, but Mrs. Wang next to her thought of something first, and blurted out: "You mean Changqing?"

"Of course it's him!"

Wang Xifeng nodded slightly: "This business was created by him, who else knows this best?"

"This……"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she couldn't help reminding: "This is about facing King Zhongshun, but how can you implicate him?"

Mrs. Wang knew that her younger sister didn't want Ra Jiao Shun to go into the water, but now the family was at a loss, if Jiao Shun wasn't invited to make up her mind, who else could she count on?
Immediately retorted: "How can it be said that it is a burden, doesn't he also account for half of the shares? He should have taken the lead in this matter!"

"That's what the wife said."

Wang Xifeng first echoed, but then said: "It's just that brother Shun is not as good as before, I'm afraid he may not take these semi-finished stocks too seriously. In my opinion, we should talk about things and move them." Know it with emotion and reason.”

Mother Jia nodded repeatedly when she heard this, and immediately nodded, "He was originally your dowry family member, so it is most appropriate for you to come forward in this matter."

After a pause, she turned to Mrs. Wang who was at the side again: "This matter is unusual, you might as well be a companion with Feng girl - even if a senior comes forward, it's not easy for him to refuse."
