The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 488 Luan Qu [Part [-]]

Because it was a family banquet—even Jiao Shun could be regarded as a prospective niece and son-in-law, so the banquet was not separated by a screen, but three tables were set up in the hall, with men on the left and women on the right, and in the middle were Mother Jia and the three Mrs.

As usual, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were not present at the gentlemen's table, but those of the same generation and those of the younger generation were there.

Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jiao Shun, Baoyu, Xue Pan, Xue Biao, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Jia Lan, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang—even Jia Xiong from the East Mansion was carried by the wet nurse.

Although Brother Xiong was still in his infancy and could not be seated, he was "passed on" by the women and girls. Some of them understood, some were confused, and some pretended to be confused, but they all praised him This big fat boy looked blessed.

There were even more heads at the female guests' table, but Li Wan was the only one missing.

Among the big maids, Ping'er was missing.

Considering that he is Li Wan's housekeeper today, it must be because he was entangled in some mundane affairs and couldn't get away for a while—as for Ping'er, he was probably borrowed by Li Wan to help him.

Jiao Shun also didn't want to think about these trivial matters, since he entered the table, he chatted and drank with everyone, while secretly paying attention to his Aunt Xue who was sitting on the chair, leaning towards him.

Because she wanted to celebrate Sister Feng's birthday, Aunt Xue changed her usual flattering demeanor and wrapped her whole body in a goose-yellow long skirt with wide sleeves and moiré pattern, with a strip of red background and silver pattern hanging diagonally from both shoulders. The silk drape, coupled with the high cloud pile green bun, and the white and clean facial features like freshly peeled chicken eggs, end up with a majestic, graceful and radiant appearance.

However, any man who is knowledgeable and interesting will probably skip all these dignified and elegant places at a glance, and go straight to the majestic figure that is tied up in the lapel by the mobai kezi.

Rao Jiao Shun knew that she was the first class among women, so he couldn't help but take a second look, then swallowed his saliva, and sang the theme song of the 83 edition of Shooting Condors in his heart: Ask the world...

I don't know if there is a sympathy, but I still feel Jiao Shun's gaze. Aunt Xue also peeked quietly, her eyes met, there seemed to be spring tides blooming in her eyes, but she turned her head with a blushing face, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass hidden.

As a result, he drank too much all of a sudden, trembling with choking, almost tearing his chest.

Jiao Shun reluctantly withdrew his gaze, feeling that the evil fire was raging in his heart, if it was only about his body and appearance, it would be fine, although Aunt Xue was the most outstanding among women, she couldn't surpass Wang Xifeng as a whole.

The most terrible thing is that girlish shyness with her head bowed, which contrasts sharply with the figure of a mature woman. The styles are very different but they complement each other.

Jiao Shun even drank a few glasses of cold wine but couldn't completely suppress his anger, so he simply put his hands into his sleeves, secretly thinking about what he should use as his trump card when he went to the appointment for a while--the previous few times the groundwork was almost the same, and he himself has also been missing recently 'Heart', it's rare for Aunt Xue to take the initiative to invite you today, it's a good opportunity to make a final decision!
on the main table.

Seeing that her younger sister had choked on the wine, Mrs. Wang quickly stretched out her hand to pat Aunt Xue's back. Because she was so close, the spring tide on Aunt Xue's face, which was as red as fire, could not be hidden from her eyes.

Although she had never seen the scene where the two of them met each other's eyes, she was a well-know person after all. Seeing this, she didn't know that the two of them were secretly tricky?
For a moment, I couldn't stop my heart from panting, but when I thought about what I was going to do in the afternoon, I felt ashamed and inexplicable.

But the arrow is on the string, and I can't help but regret it!
Here she gritted her silver teeth and was full of determination, but Wang Xifeng misunderstood it, only when the wife finally made up her mind to win over Jiao Shun, and she was full of hope that she could extract more benefits from her.

Unexpectedly, after waiting left and right, Mrs. Wang did not see any movement.

On the contrary, after noon, Mrs. Wang pulled Aunt Xue up, claiming that she was too strong to drink, and wanted to go back and take a nap before coming back.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng became impatient. She wanted to stop her but had no suitable excuses. She wanted to catch up and remind her, but being a birthday star, she couldn't get away. In the end, she could only watch Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue leave the banquet hand in hand.

…………

at the same time.

The uneasiness in Lai Da's heart also reached its peak.

Not long after he arrived at the small flower hall of Neiyimen in the morning, a few stewards came to complain, saying that the grandma had lost her mind for some reason, and she would not let him [them] enter by name. Garden.

Isn't this a slap in the face?
Even people like Wang Xifeng, who are mean and ungrateful, have never humiliated people like this. The grandma just took care of the housework for a day, how dare she use a chicken feather as an arrow like this?

At that time, Lai Da felt that something was wrong. Grandma had always been a law-abiding person, and the previous few temporary managers were also Xiao Gui and Cao Sui. How could she suddenly do such a thing of enmity with others?
However, this is not the end.

A little later, several servants in the garden were kicked out again, and the leader was actually Ms. Lai Li of the Jade Emperor Temple—she was both the widow of Lai Da’s cousin and the sister of Baoyu’s wet nurse, Nanny Li. Well, in Rongguo Mansion, he is also a master of some cards, that's why he got the blessing of the Jade Emperor Temple, such a leisurely and fat man.

Even if the Lai family's face is not worth anything, the Li family is the second wife's confidant, how dare the eldest grandma...

"Grandma insisted that she meant wife!"

Lai Li cried and wiped away her tears: "I don't believe it, I want to talk to my wife face to face, but she refused to let me go, and even instructed a few little hooves to drive me out--his uncle, You must make the decision for me!"

"She said it was his wife?"

After hearing this, Lai Da became more and more uneasy. It would be fine if Li Wan just insisted on going his own way, but if it was the wife's intention...

Could this have something to do with the quarrel between the master and wife in Rongxi Hall yesterday?
But the wife is annoyed by the master, so she shouldn't blindly attack people related to her, right?

unless……

Thinking of what he had done in the past few days, Lai Da hurriedly summoned a few of his confidants to question him, only to realize that while he was sending someone to investigate secretly, there were actually someone who was investigating his little actions either openly or secretly!

Combining the front and back, although he still doesn't understand what exactly happened, he also knows that he must have gotten into a huge trouble unintentionally!

Having figured out this verse, Lai Da made a quick decision and ran directly to the Rongxi Hall, knelt down in front of Jia Zheng and told the whole story, only concealing the fact that he deliberately manipulated Jiao Shun.

"The slave doesn't know why the master is annoyed by Uncle Jiao, so he thought that if he could try to persuade him, maybe Uncle Jiao would be willing to praise Shang Rong, so he quietly inquired..."

Only then did Jia Zheng know why his wife suddenly came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime yesterday, but it turned out that everything was caused by Lai Da.

He was furious for a while and then terrified, needless to say what he was angry with, but what he was terrified of was that Mrs. Wang noticed it in time, otherwise he might be found out by this dog slave!
Thinking of this, Jia Zheng stepped forward and kicked Lai Da on the shoulder.

Due to the relapse of his old illness due to his anger and injury yesterday, his strength was really weak, but Lai Da screamed and fell into a gourd, and then struggled to get up, knocking his head repeatedly beg for mercy.

Jia Zhengyu was still angry and kicked Lai Da a few more times. Lai Da was writhing and writhing, but he was so tired that he was sweating profusely and panting like a cow.

Gritting her teeth and sitting back on the chair, she wanted to severely punish Lai Da, and even drive him out of Rongguo Mansion.

But after calming down a little, I felt that this method was very inappropriate.

The Lai family has been in charge of the Rongguo Mansion for four generations, and I'm afraid they know more about the big things and the small things than they do. If they just drive people out like this, something bad will happen if they don't keep them together.

Especially recently, Prince Zhongshun seems to be eyeing his own house, if the two are connected...

But when something like this happens, you can't take it lightly, can you?

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but frown.

If it were a cruel and ruthless master, he might have the desire to kill and silence him when encountering such a thing, but Jia Zheng has always been indecisive. Apart from being cruel to his son, why has he ever had such a decisive way to kill?

After hesitating again and again, he couldn't come to a conclusion, so he had no choice but to wave his sleeves and say: "God, you go home and face the wall and think about it. It won't be too late to clean you up when the master spares time!"

Lai Da felt relieved when he heard this, and he burst into tears and thanked him very much.

He has been serving Jia Zheng since he was a child, and he knows Jia Zheng's temperament. Now that he has passed this hurdle, he only needs to ask the old lady to come forward, and the big and small things can be resolved.

Especially since this matter involved insidiousness, Mr. Zheng would most likely not be willing to tell the truth in front of the old lady. In this way, it would be easier to resolve it.

But he said that he would wait for Lai Da to leave Rongxi Hall.

Jia Zheng worried about how to deal with him for a while, and then suddenly remembered to explain to Mrs. Wang clearly.

So he got up and went to the inner room to repair a book, and he was going to send someone to the garden, so that Diao Fu would know what was wrong.

But after thinking about it, today is Lian's brother and daughter-in-law's birthday, and there are a lot of people in the garden. If someone bumps into him and asks, thinking that he is actively showing weakness, wouldn't it hurt his face?

So he pressed the letter under the paperweight again, and planned to send someone to deliver it tomorrow.

…………

Go back and talk about Mrs. Wang.

She lied that she was overwhelmed with alcohol and dragged Aunt Xue back to the hut in Qingtang.

Aunt Xue was sincere, she only thought that her sister was really drunk, and when she entered the door, she called Caixia Caiyun to ask for a bowl of hangover soup, and then helped Mrs. Wang into the room to lie down.

"I just think the room is stuffy."

Mrs. Wang waved her hand, and then looked at Aunt Xue's light yellow dress, as if hesitating to speak.

Only then did Aunt Xue remember what her sister said earlier, so she smiled and said, "Then I'll take it off and let my sister try."

With that said, I need to change clothes inside.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly stopped her: "You take it off in my room, but what are you wearing? Don't catch cold anymore, it's better to go back to the room and change again."

After a pause, he asked casually, "Is this jewelry also matched?"

Aunt Xue said readily when she heard the words: "I'll bring them to my sister later. It's no different than clothes. If my sister wears them properly, I won't have to buy new ones."

Saying that, he lifted the hem of his skirt and went back to the room to change.

Mrs. Wang watched her go out, she was dazed for a while, then sighed, and ordered: "Caiyun, go and ask Grandma, what kind of dirty things have been investigated and dealt with today."

Caiyun took orders to Daoxiang Village, and came back with a list not long after to ask Madam Wang to have a look.

Mrs. Wang saw that Mrs. Lai and Li were on the list as expected, and the last big stone in her heart finally went away.

When Aunt Xue wrapped her clothes and jewelry in a bundle, she followed her into the inner room to dress up.

After changing into the clothes, the front was obviously a little loose, and it was three points less colorful than Aunt Xue's.

Seeing Mrs. Wang raising her hand to caress the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, her face showed a bit of loneliness and unwillingness. Aunt Xue was about to compliment her sister when she suddenly saw Mrs. Wang turning her back and asked, "If you look at it from behind Get up, doesn't it look a bit like it?"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "We are sisters, we both have five or six looks from the front, and naturally we can't tell the difference from the back."

Mrs. Wang still didn't believe it, she posed several poses back and forth, and then changed the long skirt under Aunt Xue's puzzled eyes, but she didn't pull out the hairpin and other things on her head, she just said: " I'm a bit tired, you should go back and rest too—look at what the old lady means, there will be a scene in the evening."

Aunt Xue always felt a little weird, but she couldn't figure out where the blame was. She was always big-hearted, so she just didn't think about it, left her clothes and jewelry, and went to take a nap in the wing room.

After Aunt Xue left.

Mrs. Wang immediately rolled up the skirt and drape with a bundle, changed into plain and unremarkable clothes, and led Caixia and Caiyun out of the hut in Qingtang.

When she got outside, she expressed that she was very depressed and wanted to take a walk alone.

Caixia and Caiyun vaguely guessed that she had another quarrel with Jia Zheng yesterday, and today she ruthlessly dismissed many people. Although she felt something was wrong, how dare she touch her brow?

After Mrs. Wang got rid of the two of them, she picked up the path and went to the Jade Emperor Temple.

The Jade Emperor Temple was originally a place for doing business, usually Lai and Li came here every now and then to take care of it, but now Lai and Li have been kicked out of the Grand View Garden, so there is no one there.

Mrs. Wang was sure that she had no eyes and ears, so she took out the key she had prepared long ago, opened the gate of the courtyard, and walked into the temple.

In just a short moment, she felt cold sweat on her palms, and when she thought about what she was going to do next, her heart beat wildly.

This feeling……

It was somewhat similar to when she exposed herself to the Buddha on weekdays, but the intensity was more than ten times higher!
With a flushed face, she took a deep breath, tried her best to suppress the throbbing in her heart, and resolutely carried the burden and walked into the woodshed in the southwest corner.

In about two quarters of an hour...

One incense stick before the agreed time, Jiao Shun sneakily appeared outside the temple gate.

He tried to push it, and saw that the temple door was only ajar, so he dodged to get in, and then put the latch on the door with ease from inside.

Then his eyes fell on the woodshed in the southwest corner.

But Jiao Shun didn't go in in a hurry, but first went around to check around, and after confirming that there was an escape route that could not be coordinated, he went straight to the southwest with bright eyes.

Pushing open the door of the woodshed, one can see that the inside is very dark, even without a window. Fortunately, the sunlight coming in through the door is enough for people to distinguish the situation inside the house.

But I saw 'Aunt Xue' was facing her back, standing close to the east wall, the tall cloud pile green bun, the goose yellow dress with cloud patterns, and the cinnabar red cloak, even in this simple The location is also graceful and gorgeous!
"Mrs!"

Jiao Shunjuan's heart was burning, calling Zhengyu to step forward.

But I heard 'Aunt Xue' tremble: "Close the door."

Jiao Shun turned around and closed the door subconsciously, only halfway through the door did he realize that the room was really dark, and he could see things only by the light coming in from outside the door. If the door was closed tightly, wouldn't it be more beautiful and delicious?
While hesitating, 'Aunt Xue' unexpectedly walked around behind him, wrapped her hands around his chest and waist, buried her head on his back and urged vaguely: "Close the door quickly..."

The trembling and delicate voice seemed to hit Jiao Shun's heart, he thought to himself that Aunt Xue had always been shy, but now that she finally mustered up the courage to devote herself, he must not scare her away.

Forget it, let's 'blind marriage and dumb marriage' this time, and it's not too late to make a splash in the future!

Immediately, he exerted his strength and closed the door tightly.

The darkness immediately enveloped the whole firewood house, followed by the rustling of ears and temples, and Jiao Shun's excited whisper: "I can get charity from my wife today, even if I die, I will be willing to die... Huh?!"

Halfway through the speech, he suddenly realized something was wrong: "You, you are?! Who are you?!"

As he spoke, he wanted to push away the woman in his arms, and turned around to open the door.

He didn't want to be entangled by the woman in his arms, and heard her gritted her teeth and threatened: "If you dare to open the door, I will spread the news about you and Yunyao!"

Jiao Shun's movements froze instantly.

Who is this? !

It's fine to know Aunt Xue's boudoir name, why do you even know the poems and pictures that I gave to Aunt Xue?
He quickly ran through the suspects in his mind, and suddenly exclaimed: "You, you are the second wife?! How is this possible, why did you do this?!"

"This... there must be some misunderstanding!"

"Don't, don't, don't!"

"I think we should..."

"no, do not want!!"
