The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 516 Eating fast [[-]]

Recite poetry in the morning, drink and have fun at noon.

In the afternoon, of course it was time to fight and kill again.

Sanchun, Chai Dai, Xiangyun Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, and Jia Baoyu set up bureaus inside, and several literate maids also set up bureaus outside.

In fact, for most maids and servants, the killing of the Three Kingdoms is a bit too cumbersome and complicated, but it is not as refreshing and happy as the horse hanging dominoes throwing dice. The problem is that the latter is repeatedly suppressed in the Rongguo Mansion, and the former has nothing to do with gambling. , but it can be an aboveboard pastime to relieve boredom.

Therefore, those who come and go, gradually come from behind.

Not to mention this.

But they said that the sisters were very excited, and suddenly they heard the messy honorific "Second Grandma" outside, and everyone knew that it was Sister Feng who had arrived, and they all stood up to greet her.

Not long after, Wang Xifeng came in from the outside with a smile on her face. Seeing the Three Kingdoms Killing card game on the table, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Hey~ I heard that you are going to start a club. I'm afraid it will disturb your interest. If I had known earlier Playing cards, I will bring my sister-in-law over to have fun!"

The sisters chatted and laughed around her, and Shi Xiangyun, who had drawn a handful of good cards, kept urging everyone to return to the poker table.

But Wang Xifeng grabbed her and said with a smile: "It's as good as the house or the land, why are you so anxious? Let them play for you for a while, I have something serious to talk to you about. "

"Sister Feng came here specially to find me?"

Shi Xiangyun was a little surprised, took advantage of the situation and stuffed the card into Ping'er's hand, and whispered a few words in his ear, and then followed Wang Xifeng to the side hall.

Without waiting for the servant girl to do anything, she poured tea for Wang Xifeng and herself, distributed it twice, and asked curiously: "You busy man came all the way to find me, what's the matter?"

"Of course it's a matter of priority!"

Wang Xifeng lowered his head and blew on the tea stalk, and said seriously: "There was an unsightly person outside who secretly stole a new prescription from our house, and wanted to open a tire shop like Tian Xingjian..."

"What does this have to do with me?"

When Shi Xiangyun heard half of it, he felt baffled. What's the use of talking about this kind of thing to himself?Hurry up to investigate internally and defend externally is the truth!
"It's a big deal."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "It's not easy for the mansion to make a direct move at the moment, so I just wanted to scare them off by taking advantage of brother Shun's recent vicious name. Coincidentally, isn't there a stake in your dowry with Tian Xingjian?"

But it turned out that after the Double Ninth Festival, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng thought it over, and still felt that directly pulling Jiao Shun's tiger skin would really hurt the Rongguo Mansion's face, so they thought of a curve to save the country.

Doesn't Shi Xiangyun own half of Tianxingjian shares?

He simply publicized it to the outside world, saying that Miss Shi Jia was going to marry into Jiao's family with the dry stock of the tire shop, and then said a few words about how Jiao Shun valued these dry stocks, and how he started his business based on this in the first place-this is neither true nor false. It will hurt the face of Rongguo Mansion, and it can justifiably hang someone Jiao out as a shield.

"How did this happen?"

After hearing Wang Xifeng's untruthful words, Shi Xiangyun immediately got up and refused: "Those dry stocks are because Brother Jiao is sympathetic to our family, so... why are you so shy now that it is my dowry, and still publicize it everywhere?"

"What are you in a hurry for, girl?"

Wang Xifeng pulled her back in a leisurely manner, and said half-truthfully, "He came up with this idea, and it was also for your reputation - although your uncle got benefits from going to Europa, in the eyes of outsiders, it is almost like exile. .”

"Now there are rumors and gossip outside, and everyone thinks that historians have completely declined-now we put this meat on the folds of the buns, and it can be regarded as blocking their mouths."

"Is that what Brother Jiao meant?"

Shi Xiangyun doesn't care much about blocking other people's mouths, but if Jiao Shun wants it, it's not easy to refuse directly, you have to inquire clearly before making a decision.

"Can I still lie to you?"

As Wang Xifeng said, he raised his hand and pointed out: "Besides, sister Xiuyan is outside, you ask her to go back and ask, won't you know if it's true or not?"

Since she said that, Shi Xiangyun nodded in agreement.

So he went outside again, pulling Xing Xiuyan to repeat the whole story.

Xing Xiuyan had roughly heard about Jiao Shun talking about this matter, but he hadn't heard that it was related to Shi Xiangyun, so he pretended not to know, saying that when Jiao Shun came back from San Ya at night, he would ask Miss Shi .

On the other side, Wang Xifeng guarded the girls again, said some amusing gossip, then said that she was busy, and led Ping'er out of the Ouxiangxie.

When she got outside, she saw that there was no one around, and she hurriedly ordered: "You wait for him at the back door in the evening, and explain this matter clearly, so as not to talk twice."

"Since grandma didn't discuss it with him, why did she..."

"He owes me!"

Wang Xifeng raised his eyebrows, and said unquestionably: "You tell him the truth, why are there so many nonsense!"

Seeing that Ping'er stopped talking, she stretched out her hand to pinch Ping'er's cheek again, jokingly said: "Besides, I am also giving you a chance to steal your mouth?"

Hearing her words turn sour, the force of her pinching became stronger, Ping'er hurriedly raised her hand to block it, rolled her eyes and said: "Grandma is greedy, but she still wants to pour dirty water on other people's heads."

Saying that, she dodged Wang Xifeng's grasping hand again, lifted the corner of her skirt and fled away as if flying away.

"You bloody little hoof!"

Wang Xifeng rushed a few steps and couldn't catch up, so she hurriedly urged: "Don't forget what happened tonight!"

"Don't worry, don't forget!"

Although Ping'er agreed from a distance, but when it was really late at night, he couldn't tell Jiao Shun what he had said in advance.

Somebody Ge Yinjiao didn't come home at all that night.

…………

Naturally, the Xijing Railway has nothing to do with Chang'an. It actually refers to the railway from Xishan to the suburbs of Beijing.

Or say that the emperor is impatient.

In the evening of the seventh day of the lunar new year, Jiao Shun just raised his mouth, and within a few days, Zhongzhi went to the Ministry of Industry to discuss the pros and cons of building the Xijing Railway, and then report the results of the discussion as soon as possible.

Because the Taizu Dynasty vigorously promoted steam engines, the demand for coal around the capital was not small. In addition, Emperor Longyuan had launched some fast-moving projects in recent years, which further exacerbated the problem of supply and demand.

In order to solve the problem of difficulty in using coal, many large factories have formed their own transportation teams.

As a result, as the transport team expanded, Mentougou began to be overwhelmed again.

Coupled with the water transport team [Yuquan Mountain is a branch of Xishan Mountain], every winter during the peak season of coal consumption, the entire northwest of Beijing becomes a mess.

If a railway can be built, it will definitely be of great benefit to solving these people's livelihood and economic problems.

But the problem is that, including Jiao Shun himself, the specific cost of the railway is still uncertain at the moment—the one in the palace is laid on flat ground after all, and there is no need to consider daily operation and maintenance issues, so it is uncertain.

Therefore, the real discussion on this day is mainly about exploration and accounting.

Originally, it was most appropriate for these matters to be carried out by Jiao Shun, the initiator, but helplessly he was still busy preparing for the construction of the engineering school, so this matter was played back and forth among several departments, and it was not until the evening that Shang Shu My lord Gan Gang arbitrarily named Baigongsi.

Regardless.

After the office was dismissed, Jiao Shun didn't go back home, but went directly to You's new house.

Second Sister You hadn't seen Jiao Shun for several days, but her ears were full of her husband's heroic deeds these two days.

Joyfully and proudly, she welcomes Jiao Shun into the back house, while she prepares the meals quickly, she wraps herself around Jiao Shun like a beautiful snake.

"Do not bother."

Jiao Shun didn't refuse Second Sister You's approach, but he stopped the red maid who was going to pass the dishes in the kitchen, then bit Second Sister You's half silver ingot-like ear, and said with a smile: "Let's go today Try vegetarian dishes."

When Second Sister You heard the words, her eyes lit up immediately, and she blurted out, "It's time to teach that fake nun a lesson!"

It has been more than ten days since she complained that Miaoyu did not change her domineering nature last time.

At first, Jiao Shun just wanted to hang Miaoyu up for a few days, but he never thought it would take so long, but who knew that the plan could not keep up with the changes. As soon as the small essay was over, there was a rumor and slander by the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and then it was the Double Ninth Festival The case of Jie and the old lady of the Mei family.

One after another, it was not until today that I finally got free.

Second Sister You has been thinking about this for a long time, and when she heard that Jiao Shun was going to take her to the temple to 'eat vegetarian food', she took the fancy intestines back into her stomach temporarily, got up from Jiao Shun's arms and said, "Master, wait for me for a while, I'll go change it." come dressed."

Knowing that she wanted to compete for beauty, Jiao Shun naturally wouldn't stop her.

He was reclining on the Arhat bed with his eyes closed and recuperating, when he suddenly heard some rustling noises in the living room.

She raised her eyelids and glanced, but it was Third Sister You who sneaked in.

Meeting Jiao Shun's gaze, Third Sister You stepped forward generously, bowed slightly and said, "I've seen my brother-in-law."

"Humph~"

Jiao Shun exhaled a puff of turbid air from his nostrils, taking it as a response to Third Sister You—just now he was thinking about going to the temple, but he forgot that there was a troublemaker in the house.

He changed his posture slightly, and with aggressive gaze, he undisguisedly swirled around Third Sister You's lapel.

If it was another girl who hadn't left the court, how could she stand such naked peeping?
But Third Sister You was able to guard her body like a jade, and she was able to be promiscuous when she advanced. Instead of flinching and dodging in the eyes of Jiao Shun, she proudly puffed out her chest and asked Jiao Shun condescendingly, "Since my brother-in-law is here, why is my sister?" Missing?"

Jiao Shun raised his chin inwardly: "I'm changing clothes in the room."

Without waiting for Third Sister You to complain, he asked again with a straight face: "Why don't you avoid me today, do you think I have forgotten what you have done?"

Third Sister You covered her mouth and let out a snort, her beautiful eyes formed a crescent shape, and she looked like a vixen who stole grapes: "If I hadn't set it on fire, how could my brother-in-law take down that so quickly?" Fake nun?"

"So, do I have to thank you?"

"I can't thank you enough, but I have one thing..."

"Third sister!"

Third Sister You was about to reveal her intentions when Second Sister You came out through the curtain and scolded sharply: "What kind of monster are you here again? Don't you think you didn't cause enough trouble last time?!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and pushed his sister away two steps, then turned his head to Jiao Shun pitifully and said, "When she came back a few days ago, my mother and I taught her a lesson, but this girl doesn't remember to eat or beat her..."

After receiving this, he turned his head and said, "What are you still doing here? Get the hell out!"

She was obviously worried that Third Sister You would anger Jiao Shun.

But whether he was worried about Jiao Shun's anger on himself, or whether he was worried about his sister's suffering, that's unknown.

Third Sister You was not afraid at all, looked her sister up and down, and suddenly said: "Aren't you going to fix that fake nun? Count me in too!"

"Why are you joining in the fun!"

Second Sister You said angrily: "We are doing it, doing it... Anyway, it has nothing to do with you!"

She originally wanted to say 'do something serious', but she went to the temple to train and preside over it. No matter how you think about it, it can't be considered a serious thing, so she changed her words temporarily.

Seeing that Third Sister You was still arguing, she immediately raised her voice and shouted: "Mom, Mom, why don't you take her away!"

As she expected, Mrs. You stood outside the door with her ears pricked up.

Hearing the greeting, he immediately raised the curtain to approach, first saluted Jiao Shun servilely, and then dragged away Third Sister You.

Second Sister You breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and said in an embarrassing way: "Master, don't get angry with her, I will deal with her better when I turn around!"

But Jiao Shun lazily said: "She is going to the temple, I just let her go."

Second Sister You was taken aback when she heard the words, and pointed outside hesitantly: "Then shall I call her back?"

"Not urgent."

Jiao Shun got up from the Arhat's bed, stretched his muscles and said, "After we finish our fast today, we will send this naughty girl to live in the temple for a while, so that I can live up to my temper."

"This……"

Only then did Second Sister You understand what Jiao Shun meant, but she couldn't help hesitating: "That Miaoyu is arrogant, but she may not be able to subdue her, when the time comes..."

"Then let her make trouble."

Jiao Shun didn't take it seriously and said: "It doesn't matter whoever suffers from it, it's all about temper, this is to find a match for them, so that they don't always jump off in front of the master."

After hearing this, Second Sister You was a little worried that her sister would suffer in the temple.

After all, if it wasn't for Third Sister You's fire, Miaoyu might not have won Jiao Shun's hand so quickly. If she had a grudge and took advantage of the landlord's position to attack, it would not be out of sheer stubbornness.

But she has always been a submissive character, at most she would blow pillows in Jiao Shun's ears, tell stories and gossip, and she has no courage to confront Jiao Shun head-on.

Therefore, he didn't dare to say anything else, he just obediently agreed, and followed Jiao Shun out with a low eyebrow.

But as soon as she went out, she suddenly thought of something again, hurriedly took the first half step, tiptoed and whispered in Jiao Shun's ear: "My sister brought some utensils here a while ago, do you want to take them with you?"

Youshi brought the utensils?
From what it means, it should be the kind used for women.

But what is she doing with this thing? Could it be two sisters...

Seeing that Jiao Shun's expression was a bit wrong, Second Sister You knew that he was thinking wrongly, so she hurriedly explained: "My sister bought it specially for Miaoyu, and you also know that my sister is most annoyed by her lack of morality."

The so-called immorality in the mouth is actually telling the truth.

But the truth is often the one that hurts the most.
