The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 480

Then it was August [-]th.

Because of an appointment with someone, Jiao Shun left the house early in the morning, and hurried to Qingqingfang near Donghua Gate in a light car.

Because there are four Tiemuzi palaces in Clarification Square, and it is not far from Donghua Gate, there are many high-end restaurants scattered around, and many princes, dignitaries and dignitaries come and go in and out of them.

The Yuewei Pavilion that I am going to this time is one of the best. It is said that it was remodeled from the former residence of a certain scholar in the previous dynasty, and it is most sought after by those literati who dropped their book bags.

Jiao Shun has also heard his name for a long time, but he has always been shunned by scholars, and he would definitely not come here to make fun of himself-this time he also got an invitation from Jia Yucun, and he came to the appointment because he couldn't refuse.

But he said that he was not far from the Yuewei Pavilion, and suddenly he saw a mighty army coming, and all the officials and people on the street retreated.

Naturally, Jiao Shun's mule cart was no exception. He raised the curtain on the side of the road to watch. The concubine took her only daughter to offer incense outside the city.

Speaking of...

Regardless of Bagong, there are only short-lived ghosts among the four kings. The father of Beijing Wang Shuirong died in his early thirties. The previous generation of Nan'an King couldn't even reach the age of 30. Dongping King was even worse. It didn't take long to die. This generation of King Dongping inherited the throne at the age of two, and he is still less than ten years old now.

After counting and counting, only the king of Xining still lived a long life, and he is still in good health now that he is over forty this year.

In short, Jiao Shun waited at the side of the road for half an hour before the team from Nan'an Palace finally met.

Due to this delay, when he arrived at Yuewei Pavilion, he was about a quarter of an hour later than the agreed time.

According to Jia Yucun's instructions, instead of going through the main entrance, he walked around to a corner gate on the west side. Just as Jiao Shun was about to get off the car, he saw Jia Yucun in casual clothes coming out of the gate.

He couldn't help frowning, and while lifting the curtain to get out of the car, he raised his voice and asked: "Brother Shi, why are you waiting outside? Could it be that there is another way today?"

With Jia Yucun's current status, he shouldn't come to the door to greet guests, unless there is another person who is in charge of the banquet, and his status is more honorable than him.

Seeing that he finally came, Jia Yucun was going up to meet him with a happy face. When he heard this, he paused at first, then cupped his hands with a wry smile and said, "Oh~ I made my brother laugh, I can't help myself."

As he spoke, he patted the hat on his head: "Of all the local officials in the world, my Shuntian mansion has the most mothers-in-law. They used to be in the post of Tongzhi, and they all see these three ranks as top wearers. It's only after seeing the governor that I know what kind of black hat this is, it's clearly a curse!"

"This……"

Jiao Shun was about to find out who had invited him to be a middleman, when suddenly he saw a young servant coming out of the room, and asked neither humble nor overbearing: "But Mr. Jiao is here? My lord invites you to the table."

When Jia Yucun heard the words, he hurriedly grabbed Jiao Shun and said, "Let's go, let's go, what's going on today, my brother will know when he enters."

Jiao Shun was suspicious, but it is expected that he would not dare to ambush any swordsmen, not to mention they are all here, so he should go in to find out.

So he followed Jia Yucun halfway and approached the spacious and elegant side hall.

Because this Yuewei Pavilion is a gathering place for literati and poets, Jiao Shun pondered before entering the door that this should be a trap set up by a certain important official in the court. If it is not guaranteed, it may be a pavilion elder—no matter how humble Jia Yucun said himself, After all, he is a dignified third-rank official, so how dare he let him greet guests outside?
However, after entering the door, what catches the eye is not a purple robe and jade belt, but a fifth-rank official who is similar to his rank!
But which fifth-rank official would dare to let Shuntian Fuyin greet guests outside the door, but hide in the house and drink tea?
Jiao Shunzheng was puzzled, so Jia Yucun graciously introduced: "My dear brother, this is Mr. Zhou, the chief historian of Prince Zhongshun's residence; Mr. Zhou, you don't need to introduce me, my virtuous brother?"

It turned out to be the Chief Historian of the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, it's strange how he dared to trust him so much!
It seems that this guy was the one who forced Jia Zheng to beat Jia Baoyu to death.

Only then did Zhou Changshi get up, and cupped his hands at Jiao Shun: "Master Jiao."

X's!
Hearing the words, Jiao Shun cursed secretly, it really is a dog's power, the whole world knows that he was promoted to the engineering school to sacrifice wine, but this guy insists on being called the master, obviously wanting to overwhelm himself.

It's fine if King Zhongshun is in person, what's so proud of him as the chief historian of the palace?
Who doesn't have a backer? !
At that moment, Jiao Shun's face also turned cold, and he saluted loosely, without even bending his waist, he said in an official tone: "Dare to ask Zhou Changshi to find Jiao, but what is your order?"

That Zhou Changshi was obviously used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays. Seeing that Jiao Shun's attitude dared to be more arrogant than himself, his face immediately showed an undisguised displeasure. Said: "Let's sit down and talk."

He showed displeasure, why did Jiao Shun have a good face?

He didn't move at all, and said in a daze: "I think it's better to make it clear first. Jiao Mou wanted to discuss a business, but he had to come because of repeated invitations from the Jia family—now that he has changed the host... ..."

"Lord Jiao!"

Zhou Changshi was already going to sit back, but when he heard Jiao Shun's words, he straightened his back, glared fiercely at Jiao Shun and cupped his hands in mid-air: "I came here by the king's order, you push back and forth like this, Could it be that you didn't put the prince in your eyes?"

"Don't dare."

Jiao Shun saluted again, and asked: "But I don't know whether the order of the prince is a private matter or a business matter?"

Who didn't know that King Zhongshun was the most arrogant and unreasonable king?

Relying on his prestige, Zhou Changshi has always been invincible, especially in his opinion, even Jia Zheng of the Rongguo Mansion dare not be so rude to him, a fifth-rank official who was born as a slave in the Rongguo Mansion naturally has to be more servile Yes.

Who would have thought that Jiao Shun was not only late, but also directed at himself everywhere, even if he moved out the prince's signboard, he would ask whether it was private or public.

Is this the guts of a leopard who has eaten the heart of a bear? !

He was angry from the heart, slammed the table, and shouted: "Bold! Don't you know that the Tian family is selfless?! The matter assigned by the prince, even a private matter, should be handled as a public matter!"

Saying that, he rushed to Jia Yucun and said, "Master Jia, what do you think?"

"This……"

Jia Yucun glanced at Jiao Shun, and said with an ambiguous smile, "Naturally, naturally."

Zhou Changshi thought he had the support, so he put on an even more rebellious face. He originally wanted to point his nostrils at people, but he was a head and a half shorter than Jiao Shun, and he might have to let Jiao Shun see his nostrils. Only by leaning back.

But Jiao Shun smiled slightly and said, "So, it's a private matter?"

"What about private matters?"

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Zhou Changshi couldn't help but gritted his teeth and stared and threatened: "Don't you dare to disobey the king's order?!"

"It's a coincidence."

I don't want Jiao Shun to follow his previous example, cupping his hands in the air and saying: "I am also about to be ordered to deal with the Tian family's private affairs—no, business affairs."

Zhou Changshi was stunned for a moment, but Jia Yucun immediately realized what he was saying: "Your brother said...could it be a new car factory in the outskirts of the city? I heard that His Majesty recently ordered the inner government to increase capital and expand production, but I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"That's true."

Jiao Shun also simply turned his gaze to him, and said with a smile: "I was going to discuss the expansion of production - because I have to trouble Brother Shi in the follow-up, so I thought of coming over to say hello first."

The two of them talked about each other, and they actually talked about the expansion of the factory building.

That Zhou Chang Shi Ting's face turned red and green, but he didn't dare to provoke him at will, because he suddenly realized that he was a trusted aide who handled private affairs for King Zhongshun, but Jiao Shun on the opposite side was the emperor's confidant!
No matter how domineering and overbearing King Zhongshun is, how dare he act wildly in front of the emperor?

In the same way, as a loyal confidant of the King of Loyalty, he is naturally incomparable...

wrong!

I was almost bluffed by Jiao Shun, even if he was the emperor's trusted confidant, could he still meet the emperor at any time?
But as the chief history of the palace, he can report to King Zhongshun at any time.

In this way, it is still uncertain which of the two strokes is higher and which is lower!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but interjected again: "Could it be that Mr. Jiao wants me to report today's matter to the lord?"

Jiao Shun glanced at him, then looked at Jia Yucun again.

"This one……"

Jia Yucun also took a look at Zhou Changshi, and then suddenly asked curiously: "I heard that the case of the Ministry of Rites has not been closed yet? Then my brother's right to secret accompaniment..."

"Naturally still."

Jiao Shun pretended to be distressed and said: "My little brother has to play the book almost every day, and then receive the imperial approval receipt the next day, so he doesn't even have half a day to rest and take a bath."

Zhou Changshi, who was listening to this, suddenly felt like a deflated ball, not only disappeared with anger, but also full of fear.

Of course, he had heard about the Secret Zhezuo, but he never expected that Jiao Shun would no longer participate in the case handling, and the emperor did not take back this privilege, but instead gave instructions every day.

You know, how many members of the first and second ranks handed over the papers, and the final instructions were only a few words such as "understand", "permitted", "rejected".

However, this Jiao Shun...

Zhou Changshi shuddered unconsciously, not only regretted that he had spoken rudely just now, but even felt that the prince should not have asked him to come to him today!
Immediately, he changed from his former arrogance, and said with a smile: "Since Jiao Jijiu Emperor's life is here, then I will not disturb you this time. Another day, another day, I will personally host a banquet for your lord to have wine!"

Jiao Shun glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Didn't Zhou Changshi say that today is the prince's invitation? If you don't announce the king's order..."

"This, this..."

Zhou Changshi sneered twice, and said in a perfunctory way: "My lord also heard that your lord is young and promising, and is deeply trusted by your majesty, that's why he asked the next official to get closer to you."

"Just like that?"

"That's it!"

What Zhou Changshi said was categorical, and he quietly stuffed the planning book in his sleeve.

In fact, he came to Jiao Shun today because he was sent by King Zhongshun, and he wanted Jiao Shun, the instigator, to help him see if there were any mistakes in the tire business he wanted to do.

However, the matter of Zhang Yan is also false, the real purpose is to use Jiao Shun to humiliate the Rongguo Mansion.

King Zhongshun has always been doing business with stealth and plunder, so how can he see that he is making a living?

The reason why he wanted to do this tire business was just because he hated Baoyu for hooking up with Qiguan, which made him lose his heart, so he deliberately took revenge, and whether he made money or not was the second priority.

But although Zhou Changshi is used to being domineering, he is not stupid enough after all.

Realizing that Jiao Shun's real backer is the emperor, and that he is favored far beyond his imagination, he naturally chooses to back down—after all, King Zhongshun put on such a domineering posture at the beginning to avoid suspicion, how dare he hit the gunpoint now?

Seeing him like this, Jiao Shun obviously didn't intend to tell the truth, and he didn't bother to ask any more, so he smiled and said: "In this way, I would like to thank the prince for his kindness——I also invite Zhou Changshi Go back and greet the prince for Jiao."

"Should, should."

Now Zhou Changshi didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, he responded with a lot of voices, and accompanied Jia Yucun again, and sent Jiao Shun out of the door like stars holding the moon.

Before getting into the car, Jiao Shun suddenly turned his head and smiled at Jia Yucun, "Brother Shi, I'm afraid it's not some kind of magic spell on his head. If he had been planted with a magic spell, he should have devoted himself to the Buddha long ago. Why would he be half-hearted?"

Hearing this, Jia Yucun held his hat and asked, "Brother Yi, what is on my head?"

"In my opinion, it's clearly a cover!"

Jiao Shun clapped his hands and said with a light smile: "Since Shixiong used this cover, he had to build a seven-star stove, a copper pot to cook three rivers, and set up a table for the eight immortals to entertain the sixteen parties."

This is clearly teasing Jia Yucun's double-faced and three-faced tricks.

But Jia Yucun laughed when he heard it, and praised indifferently: "My brother really has a way, the arranger has come up with libretto-to tell you the truth, I was suspicious before, that's so rigid The arias in the play were written by others, and now I have gained a lot of knowledge and knowledge."

After saying that, he took another half step back, gave a deep salute and said solemnly: "This time, all the mistakes are my brother's fault. Our brothers will be together for a long time in the future. Just wait and see how I can atone for my sins."

tsk~
This old fox.

I heard that he was also a proud and arrogant person when he was young, but now...

Jiao Shun rudely returned a salute, then got into the carriage, and signaled the driver to go back home in front of the two of them.

After he got out of the alley, he picked up the car window and looked back, thinking that he might find a way to write this matter into the booklet, so as not to involve it in the future.

It is said that King Zhongshun really has drifted away. He wanted to protect himself and humiliate the noble generals, but how dare he provoke himself, the emperor's confidant?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a flying horse coming from behind, but it was a nobleman wearing a military uniform with a hairpin and pheasant feathers on his head. It is three or four feet long.

When he got closer, he saw two long and short muskets lying horizontally on the horse's belly, and an ammunition bag dangling out of its pocket.

Jiao Shun couldn't help frowning, thinking that it's fine if he's outside the city. According to the rules in the city, only the Long Guards on official duties can carry live ammunition. Besides, even the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion are not allowed to bring guns into the city.

Who is this young master who dares to...

As soon as I thought of this, there were more than a dozen horses chasing after me in the distance, shouting 'Prince' while galloping.

Could it be the king of Nan'an County?
I heard that he likes to wear fancy clothes and likes fishing and hunting, but I didn't expect it to be so ostentatious.

Is this the case for all princes these days?
