The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 503 Double Ninth Day [[-]]

The main hall of the Grand View Garden.

Jia Zheng slanted his sign and sat under Jia's mother, leaned forward and briefly explained Jiao Shun's proposal.

For fear of his mother's objection, he didn't mention Jiao Shun's plan to ask the Lai family to donate 3 taels, but said that there was a good opportunity in engineering school.

"Changqing originally refused to agree."

Jia Zheng lied in a serious manner: "I thought about the three or four lifetimes of hard work of the Lai family, and I lowered my face and begged for a few words before he agreed to try to operate it. It is also inconvenient for the family to serve in the mansion anymore, it is best to deal with it like the Laiwang couple."

The latter words were obviously a little too hasty. After hearing this, Jia's mother didn't know that her son had other careful thoughts secretly.

A few days ago, Nanny Lai had approached her to sue, saying that Lai Da had been ineffective recently, and was scolded by Jia Zheng. She also claimed that he would be dismissed from the position of Chief External Affairs Officer. Only when this matter has been turned into a small matter.

However, judging from Jia Zheng's current intentions, it was obviously not the case.

Hey~
Since he missed the official promotion because of those rumors, his son's mind has become more and more narrow-minded. He was jealous of brother Shun's higher official position than himself, and wanted to drive him out of Rongguo Mansion; now he is annoyed by Lai Da, and wants to...

As for Jia Zheng's sudden reconciliation with Jiao Shun, the old lady didn't find it strange.

How could she not know what kind of temper her son had?

Looking at Fangzheng, he is actually the most timid and fearful in his bones. He was frightened by the chief historian of Zhongshun Wang's residence earlier, and Baoyu's life was almost hurt. This is a clear proof.

Now that he heard that Jiao Shun killed all three officials of the Ministry of Rites in one go, he didn't think it was strange to be frightened.

"This……"

After careful consideration, Mother Jia hesitated and said, "Even if Lai Da's son became an official, he might not have to leave his citizenship, right? After all, they are different from Lai's family. Their ancestors have been working in our family for three or four lifetimes... "

"The ancestors are nostalgic."

Before Jia Zheng could speak to persuade him, Wang Xifeng, who was peeling melon seeds for the old lady, smiled and said: "Actually, if I want to tell you, what can I do if I let it out? Could it be that he doesn't dare to recognize us? Brother Shun, dare to say it." Say that, and see if I don't scratch him!"

As he spoke, he made a grimace of baring his teeth and claws.

Seeing this, everyone burst into laughter, imperceptibly diluting the suddenly heavy atmosphere just now.

Mrs. Wang also responded at the right time: "Because Changqing was an official with the surname Jiao, Laiwang and his wife were not in a hurry to leave their citizenship. Now the Lai family boy is an official with his own name. If people know that we He still holds on to his grandparents, I am afraid that he will provoke some criticism."

The two spoke one after another, and at first they were both dissatisfied with the Lai family.

Needless to say, Mrs. Wang, she learned from the letter that it was the Lai family who investigated privately, and she hated the family to the bone.

As for Wang Xifeng, the Lai family's self-righteousness is deeply rooted, even though they dare not sing against her publicly, they are not as respectful as Lin Zhixiao, Shan Daliang, and Wu Xindeng in secret.

Besides, since this matter was under the control of Jiao Shun, her aunt and nephew would naturally not raise any objections.

When Jia Zheng saw that his wife offered to help, he just thought that his letter was effective, and he couldn't help but secretly feel complacent, thinking that women are easy to coax after all.

But how did he know that the things he had suspected indiscriminately before had secretly become true?

In a sense, this can be regarded as 'rumours forcing the truth'.

But the old lady was persuaded by the aunt and nephew, and even Mrs. Xing and Li Wan beside her were beating the side drums, and she couldn't help being a little shaken for a while.

After hesitating for a while, he finally sighed and said, "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. It took his family a few lifetimes to make such a bright future. I can't forcefully stop him."

Just this one sentence roughly determined the future of the Lai family.

Jia Zheng chatted with his mother again, discussing the arrangements for the holiday in the morning, when he suddenly saw Lin Zhixiao's family, and rushed to find him...

…………

After Jiao Shun bid farewell to Jia Zheng, he wandered around to the Ouxiangxie. He saw that the place was quite different from the clean and elegant place in the past. The water pavilion added a touch of fireworks.

Just when he was surprised, he saw Xue Baoqin coming out alone, Jiao Shun smiled and raised his hand to point to those stoves and asked: "Miss Baoqin, what kind of battle is this?"

"My sister is discussing that she will show her hand to Brother Jiao to celebrate her achievements."

Baoqin first pursed her lips and smiled, then her smile darkened, revealing a faint sorrow of parting: "By the way, it can be regarded as practicing for my little sister in advance."

Daguanyuan Qunfang wants to cook in person?

Thinking back to the last time they had plain spoons, it was Jia Baoyu's birthday last year. At that time, I took the opportunity to swipe Jia Yingchun's favorability, who would have thought that later...

It's really unpredictable!
Putting the experience of knowing that it was a blessing in disguise to the back of his mind, Jiao Shun also showed a little bit of reluctance and said: "Miss, are you going back to Jinling now?"

"After the Double Ninth Festival, it's time to prepare to leave."

Baoqin looked around, and saw that the maids who had been ordered in advance had already avoided this place, so she mustered up the courage to find out the sachet she made by herself, handed it to Jiao Shun, and slightly raised her head to look directly at it. Looking into Jiao Shun's eyes, he said: "Although it is only a short period of a month, my younger sister has received a lot of favors from Brother Jiao, and now I have nothing to repay, only mere things. Please don't refuse Brother Jiao."

Naturally, Jiao Shun would not refuse, pretending to be surprised, he took it in his hand, subconsciously squeezed it, but found that it seemed to contain a strand of hair.

He couldn't help but be taken aback. These days, parents are the ones who pay the most attention to their body, hair and skin. Besides, hair is another name for affection. If you only send a sachet, it can barely be called entertainment, but this is a gift of affection...

Seeing Jiao Shun's expression changed, Bao Qin knew that he must have sensed the contents of the sachet, and the face of the small and delicate goose egg was flushed, but even though she was shy, she still looked up at Jiao Shun, her voice was slightly trembling. Tremblingly said: "Brother Jiao, don't blame the little sister for being abrupt."

"This...how dare to be my sister and fall in love with me wrongly?"

Jiao Shun tentatively said, seeing Baoqin's complete acquiescence, subconsciously wanted to make some body movements, but unfortunately, this place really doesn't allow him to be presumptuous, so he could only convey his emotions with redoubled fiery eyes, and couldn't help but hint at the same time: " If my sister doesn't dislike her, she may not be able to tolerate her coming home..."

Halfway through, she seemed to be afraid that Baoqin might misunderstand her and explained: "Although my surname is Jiao now, after all, it is a single biography when I come home, so..."

"Sister Lin told me about this a long time ago."

Xue Baoqin shook her head slightly, then lowered her eyes a little, and said softly: "Being able to get to know brother Jiao...my little sister is really wishing for it, but my mother is still in Jinling, and her health has not been good for the past few years."

As she spoke, her originally raised head gradually lowered, and her words were somewhat dejected.

These days, there are not many opportunities for ladies to meet foreign men, so it is easier to fall in love at first sight, not to mention that Jiao Shun brought her a "new boat" experience that she had never had before, and even reported her retirement. It's only normal to have the idea of ​​​​promising each other with your body when you hate your relatives.

What is rare is that she is willing to express it openly and straightforwardly.

Unfortunately……

In addition to daring to love and hate, she is also a filial daughter - most of the stories recorded in the essays have prototypes.

Jiao Shun was also a little frustrated, but after all, he still had a lot of spare tires, and he was a body party with a careless mind, so it was more a pity that the current atmosphere was not open enough. If it was in later generations, the atmosphere would have been enhanced It's in place, can't the whole breakup gun be high or low?
But the current atmosphere is not so open after all, even if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, it is not good to affect others for a lifetime for the sake of short-term happiness.

So, with the little conscience left, Jiao just pretended to be grateful, and said a lot of words that he hated not to meet when he was not engaged.

The two talked to each other here, but Xue Biao couldn't sit still in the side hall of the waterside pavilion. He looked out frequently, got up several times and wanted to go out to check, but hesitantly retreated back in front of the door.

How could he not know his sister Jiao Shunfang's secret heart?

But helplessly, Big Brother Jiao had already engaged in marriage, and this relationship was doomed to have nothing to do with each other.

If it were another person, he would definitely not allow his sister to have contact with the other party, so as not to be more sad in the future.

But who asked Brother Jiao to help his family out?
"Ah~"

Xue Biao sighed, and was about to pour himself a drink to drown his sorrows, when suddenly he heard Xue Baoqin's exclamation from outside, he jumped up immediately, before Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu, who were also moved by the sound, moved from side to side The hall rushed out.

As a result, when he went out, he saw his always bold younger sister, Huarong, turning pale, grabbing a servant girl and asking her something.

Xue Biao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was not just because Brother Jiao did something.

He stepped forward and cupped his hands at Jiao Shun, and was about to ask Bao Qin what happened, but was suddenly grabbed by his sister, and walked out without any explanation.

He stumbled and took two steps before he stabilized his figure, couldn't help frowning and scolded: "You are also a big girl now, why are you always so frizzy?"

As he said that, he winked at his sister again, implying that brother Jiao is still watching, you have to pay more attention to your image.

"elder brother!"

Unexpectedly, Baoqin said in a hurry: "Mom, mother has come to the capital!"

"what?!"

Now Xue Biao also panicked, grabbed Baoqin's arm and asked, "Why did mother come to the capital? She, where is she now?!"

"They say they've reached the living room in the front yard!"

Xue Baoqin anxiously circled around in place: "Mom must have got the news that I was divorced, so..."

As he spoke, he stomped his feet again: "She was already ill, how did she travel so far?!"

After speaking, she couldn't help her impatience, turned around and ran out with her skirt in hand.

As a result, after running out a few steps, I saw my brother catching up from behind like a gust of wind, rushing to the front yard like flying.

"Brother wait for me!"

Baoqin yelled twice, but could only watch her brother run away. She secretly regretted that she should have worn thick-soled embroidered shoes in order to show her figure in front of Jiao Shun. Shoes and socks, running barefoot.

At this time, I suddenly heard the crisp ringing of bells behind me.

Baoqin turned around subconsciously, and saw Jiao Shun riding Xiangyun's car coming from behind, braking in front of her and saying, "Your sister might as well ride..."

Before she finished speaking, Baoqin had already sat sideways on the back of the car, wrapped her arms around Jiao Shun's waist without hesitation, and urged, "Brother Jiao, ride faster!"

Seeing this, Jiao Shun stopped being pretentious, stomped on the pedals and went to the front yard with the Baoqin on his back.

All the way to swagger through the market, but snatched ahead of Xue Biao.

Bao Qin didn't wait for the car to come to a complete stop, she jumped off from it, and staggered into the living room.

At that time, Aunt Xue hadn't arrived yet, only Lin Zhixiao's family was with her.

Seeing the thin figure who was thinking about it day and night, Baoqin wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms, but she was afraid of accidentally hurting her sick mother, so she hesitated for a while and stood still.

"My son!"

The second wife of the Xue family didn't have the slightest scruples, as soon as she saw her daughter, she rushed up and hugged her, crying, "It's all mother's fault, it made you suffer!"

Bao Qin was held in her mother's arms, and all the grievances came to her heart at the moment - when she was dismissed by the Mei family, although she smiled happily, why didn't she feel wronged in her heart?Just don't want to show it in front of people.

Now being aroused by his mother, seven points of emotion were turned into twelve points, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Jiao Shun sneaked a peek at the side, but saw that the second Mrs. Xue was born thin, and she didn't look like Baochai and Baoqin, but she had some similarities with Lin Daiyu - no wonder Baoqin and Daiyu were the closest to each other after arriving in Beijing. It's Xiangshan, even her own cousin is in the dark.

When Xue scorpion ran in panting like a cow, he saw the mother and daughter who were already crying, and couldn't help but burst into tears for a moment.

"Brother Xue."

Jiao Shun saw that the whole family was losing control of their emotions, so he had no choice but to remind him: "It's not good if you are too sad and hurt your body."

Only then did Xue Biao come to his senses, and quickly wiped away his tears and stepped forward to persuade: "Mother, don't be sad, my sister's situation has already been reversed, and the Mei family has also received what it deserves!"

When Baoqin heard this, she hurriedly broke away from her mother's arms, and smiled through her tears: "Mom's crying made me confused too. Thanks to brother Jiao, my daughter not only didn't suffer, but Teach the Mei family a good lesson."

The second wife of the Xue family thought it was the brother and sister comforting herself, but seeing that they agreed, she stopped her tears and asked curiously.

After hearing the cause and effect, as well as the current fate of the Mei family, the Second Mrs. Xue was stunned and said: "There is such a person, such a thing?! You, are you trying to make me happy?"

Xue Tiao Xue Baoqin swears and swears, and also said that she will take her mother to visit Mei's house and see with her own eyes the scene of Mei's family being spurned by thousands of people.

Only then did Mrs. Xue Er believe it, and immediately said: "Then where is Mr. Jiao now? Take me there quickly and thank you!"

Xue Baoqin smiled after hearing this, pointing back to Jiao Shun and said: "It's as far as the sky, so close."

Second Mrs. Xue heard that Jiao Shun was a fifth-rank official and had such an ability to set things right. She thought she must be about the same age as herself, but unexpectedly she was a young man in his early twenties.

After being shocked, she hastily stepped forward and knelt down: "Thank you, Mr. Jiao, for your help!"

"useless!"

Jiao Shun hastily stretched out his hand to help him, but he didn't expect Second Mrs. Xue's sudden exertion, suddenly her vision went dark, and she just stumbled into his arms.
