The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 524
Turn around early in the morning.

In Qiushuangzhai, Jia Tanchun stood in front of the dressing table, bent slightly and pulled off his collar, and carefully painted the red marks on his neck with powder - in fact, the marks are more serious if you go down, just don't worry about being caught in a leisurely manner. People just see it.

Turning his neck in front of the mirror to check if there were any omissions, he heard a knock on the door outside.

Tanchun hurriedly pulled down his collar, took some blush in his hands, pretended to compare and consider, and said loudly: "Come in."

The waiter pushed the door open and entered, put the wooden basin in his hand on the shelf, turned around and saw that his lady still dared not sit down, and couldn't help but blame himself: "It's all the servant's fault. No matter what, I can't let the girl fall like this, and wait outside for a long time before coming back."

After a pause, he suggested again: "Should I invite a doctor to take a look?"

"no need."

Tanchun quickly refused, "I reckon I just fell on the tailbone. It hurts a little, but it shouldn't be a serious problem—if it still hurts after two days, I'll see a doctor."

The fall she fell yesterday was not so serious in the first place. The reason why she didn't even dare to sit up today was mainly because she was pressed under Jiao Shun's body and dared not speak out for the pain, which resulted in repeated bruises.

Speaking of...

That woman should be the second sister-in-law, right?
Although the two sides were afraid of beating wolves with sticks, they didn't dare to find out about each other in the end, but in retrospect, the two teasing words when they first entered the door were obviously Wang Xifeng's tone.

Although I dare not be [-]% sure, but there is always a [-]% certainty.

However, Wang Xifeng's performance last night seemed to be different from what Aunt Zhao said before, she is flattering, but she didn't mean to be obsessively obsessed with each other, but she was defeated earlier than herself.

She was very suspicious in her heart, wondering if the two times were not the same person?
But after thinking about it again, Aunt Zhao has always spoken exaggeratedly, especially to people with evil intentions - this can be seen from her insistence on associating the man in the cave with Mrs. Wang until now.

These are all minor details. What Jia Tanchun cares most about now is whether the second sister-in-law recognized him last night?

Although they are all having affairs with others, it is impossible for Wang Xifeng to spread the news, but Jia Tanchun still does not hope that as few people as possible know this secret, the better.

Furthermore, if Sister Feng recognizes that the person in the cave is not the same as the person in the guest house after finishing the work, or even further deduces that it is Aunt Zhao and herself, then it is really...

Thinking of this possibility, she couldn't help feeling flustered and short of breath.

Fortunately, these three girls are calm in every major event, so they quickly suppressed the panic in their hearts. Looking at the time, they calculated that it was time for Wang Xifeng to go to the hut in Qingtang to pay his respects, so she ordered decisively: : "Don't be in a hurry to have breakfast, let's go to the wife's courtyard first, I have some things to tell the old man to know."

The servant hesitated and said, "The girl's injury..."

"It's fine."

Tanchun paced back and forth for a few steps, although it was not as smooth as before, but it was still no problem to walk in a serious manner.

So after washing up, the master and servant hurried to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

Sure enough, Wang Xifeng was also here.

When he entered the door, he saw her talking loudly with a red face, as if she was not affected by what happened last night in the slightest.

Ok……

Or maybe it was because of the influence of last night that he looked so radiant.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang looked a little listless.

One of the two aunts and nephews was full of energy and the other was lifeless, which seemed to reflect their respective encounters last night.

Seeing Tanchun coming, Wang Xifeng stood up and greeted her with a smile: "Why is the third sister here? Sit down, sit down!"

Jia Tanchun took a sneak peek at her, and he was [-]% certain in his heart. He immediately saluted Mrs. Wang, and then waved his hand and said, "Yesterday I accidentally stepped on the moss and fell. I'd better stand up and answer the question." .”

"Why are you so careless?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly got up and said with concern: "Have you consulted a doctor?"

"It's okay, it's just a little painful, as long as you don't sit down, it doesn't matter."

Jia Tanchun shied away a few words, then changed the topic pretending to be curious: "What did Madam and Sister Feng just say, I saw Sister Feng dancing..."

"No way."

Wang Xifeng gave her a reproachful look, and said with a smile: "I was talking to my wife about Nan'an Palace and Zhongshun Palace - you probably don't know it, not only Zhongshun King took the initiative to show his favor, but even Nan'an King took the initiative to call Honorable relatives, you want to donate money to Gongxue."

Only then did Jia Tanchun suddenly realize that King Zhongshun, who had always been unscrupulous, would take the initiative to give in to Jiao Shun, but it turned out that it was to separate himself from King Nan'an.

But even if there is a reason for the incident, it is enough to prove his current status if the two princes can regard Jiao Shun as the object they must win over.

pity……

Yesterday I didn't dare to say a word, and naturally I couldn't settle the matter of Jianxie. I don't know how long I will delay when I want to find a suitable opportunity in the future.

She was a little troubled here, and suddenly heard a report from outside, saying that Xing Xiuyan came to see her.

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this. Although Xing Xiuyan was no more than an ordinary concubine, she had much more freedom of movement, and she had been to the Grand View Garden more than once, but she was basically dealing with the younger generation, and she had never taken the initiative to approach her. Mrs. Wang.

Besides, this early in the morning, if there was no urgent matter, I probably wouldn't have come to drop by.

Thinking in this way, Wang Xifeng hurriedly ordered someone to invite Xing Xiuyan in, and then approached to hold her hand very affectionately and said: "Sister is really a rare visitor, we were talking about your uncle just now, you just happened to be here. "

"It was my uncle who asked me to come."

Xing Xiuyan replied with a smile, then gently broke away from Wang Xifeng's hand, bowed solemnly to Mrs. Wang, and said: "Our uncle said that the shop that Zhongshun Wang's mansion sent yesterday is not to be moved rashly, it is better to fold it into the car factory Be a dry stock——if the wife agrees, our uncle will go on the Daoist booklet with Second Master Bao later."

Fold the shop into the garage?

When Wang Xifeng heard this, he felt angina in his heart.

Tanchun clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Jiao has great skills! This shop is hot, and if you go back, you are afraid that the prince will face it. It is safest to fold it into the car factory. First, you can show your majesty that you have no selfishness; second. It also allows King Zhongshun and the emperor to have common interests, not only will not arouse his resentment, but it will be a real favor!"

Only then did Mrs. Wang suddenly realize that this Jiao Shun is really good at everything, if Baoyu can have three parts of his ability, she will be thankful!
But now that I have that relationship with him, in a sense, Baoyu is equivalent to...

At worst, let him help Baoyu more in the future.

With such thoughts in mind, she agreed wholeheartedly, and also said that she would order Baoyu to follow Jiao Shun's lead.

In fact, Wang Xifeng can understand these things that Tanchun analyzed after careful consideration, but understanding is one thing, but being reluctant is another.

So after sending Xing Xiuyan away, her mood became visibly lowered by the naked eye, and there was no more witty remarks from before.

…………

In just one or two days, King Zhongshun and King Nan'an competed to win over Jiao Shun in order to show their favor to the emperor, and the news spread like wildfire.

Although the second half is the focus, the focus of everyone's attention is often on the first half. Some praise the rise of the upstarts in the court, and some envy, envy and angrily scold the villain for his success.

But no matter what kind of thoughts he had in mind, after this combination of punches, Jiao Shun completely stood upright, not to mention in the Ministry of Industry, even outside, few people dared to put on that low-grade face.

And when it was heard that Jiao Shun had folded the shop sent by Prince Zhongshun into a joint venture with the Inner Palace, even fewer people dared to plot against him secretly.

Of course, there are still some who are thoughtless and unhappy who can't see the situation clearly.

And Yongyi Bo Niu Jizong thinks he has brains, and thinks he can see the situation clearly, but he has not been happy these few days.

Originally, he called on everyone to help engineering studies. Firstly, he wanted to find a new way for the nobles, and secondly, he hoped to consolidate his position as the leader of the nobles.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, he was taken over by his cousin Nan'an Wang.

That's all right, with King Nan'an's temperament of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, after a while he loses interest, and he may not be able to regroup.

Unexpectedly, on the morning of September [-], the king of Nan'an came to the door again, expressing that the family refused to take out the money, and hoped that Niu Jizong could put it on for him first.

At that time, Niu Jizong was taken aback.

At the meeting that day, Nan'an Wang looked rich and powerful, and anyone who said the number would double the number, and that's the end?

You have taken all the cheap things, and you still want me to pay the money, but there is no way!
The two cousins ​​were arguing, and there was a report from outside, saying that Niu Siyuan, Niu Jizong's new nephew, was asking to see him.

Niu Jizong slapped his forehead when he heard the words, and then remembered that it was time to invite Jiao Shun to the mansion for a banquet.

In the past few days, he was so preoccupied with sulking that he actually forgot about it.

Fortunately, when the housekeeper was called to ask, what should be prepared had already been prepared, and Niu Jizong heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't want to see King Nan'an holding his chin thoughtfully as soon as he turned his head.

got~
It seems that today he has to steal the show!
However, things are getting bigger and bigger now, Niu Jizong is also a little bit like breaking the jar, so he simply stopped arguing with King Nan'an, and called Niu Siyuan directly, and told him to send a message to the Ministry of Industry, and told Jiao Shun in advance, what happened today? King Nan'an will also be present at a luncheon.

Naturally, Niu Siyuan shouldn't be neglected when he got the errand.

The steward of the Yangguo Mansion borrowed a car and rushed all the way to the Ministry of Industry.

Unfortunately, Jiao Shun was discussing the first batch of new muskets with the Inner Palace, the Ministry of War, and the Commissioner of the Dragon Guard, so Niu Siyuan could only wait in the side room of the Department of Military Affairs.

During this period, Niu Siyuan also saw two working-study students in the same period, both of whom chose to take the road of book-running. It is more glamorous than returning to the factory to work, but in fact they are just the bottom-level pawns in the Ministry of Industry, not to mention As a Shangguan, even senior colleagues can turn around what they ordered.

This is a consistent old rule, not specifically for work-study students, so even if Jiao Shun knew about it, he didn't make any statement about it.

Seeing his classmates being yelled around like dogs, Niu Siyuan didn't show it on the surface, but he was full of arrogance and self-respect in his heart.

For these work-study students from the bottom, being able to be a secretary of the Ministry of Industry is already a blessing, but they are not the same. Yang Hongqing, who was the number one at the time, stepped under his feet!
While he was complacent, he suddenly saw another three people brought in from the outside by the clerk from the Office of General Affairs. After seeing each other clearly, both sides were taken aback.

But it turned out that the three people who were brought in were Chen Wansan and Li Qing who brought down Zhou Long, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and Dong Xun, the leader of the Labor Union who he followed on the surface.

The four of them stared blankly for a while, finally Niu Siyuan was the first to react, pretending to be okay, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Dong, Brother Chen, Brother Li, I don't want us to gather here again."

Dong Xun opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

It was only in the past two days that he found out that Niu Siyuan, who had been silently supporting him, was actually a member of the Zhenguo Gongniu family.

Although he was not as deep-minded as Niu Siyuan, he would not be a fool if he was publicly elected as the leader of the Labor Union. After comparing the front and back, he immediately found many things that were wrong.

Niu Siyuan's humility at the beginning was more like deliberately putting himself in the front as a scapegoat in order to escape and leave a way out!

Dong Xun originally thought that when he saw this old friend again, he would step forward to question him angrily, but when he really met, he couldn't muster up any courage other than embarrassment and alienation—it was the government of Zhen Guo after all. He said that he still needs to provide money and people to subsidize the engineering school. If there is a trouble, I am afraid that the teacher will not stand on his side.

"Brother Niu."

At this time, Li Qing also returned the gift with a smile: "You have kept us a secret, why should you treat us well?"

Niu Siyuan smiled, but did not answer.

Dong Xun is still very important to him, and even Chen Wansan, who is down-to-earth and willing to repay his kindness, is also highly recognized.

Only for this glib Li Qing, he has always been sincere.

It was so before, and it is even more so now.

Li Qing was bored, but he was not annoyed, he pulled the bewildered Chen Wansan aside, and left the frontal battle to Niu Siyuan and Dong Xun.

Dong Xun was silent for a while again, feeling that it was not an option to go on like this, he was hesitating to say something to defuse the awkward atmosphere, when suddenly a small official came in and said: "Which one is Chen Wansan, Dong Xun, Li Qing ? Lord Jijiu please!"

Dong Xun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and was going to meet Jiao Shun with Chen Wansan and Li Qing immediately.

"and many more!"

But Niu Siyuan hurriedly stopped them, frowned and said to the little official: "May I ask if Lord Jijiu mentioned Niu?"

After a pause, he added: "Niu came first and has been waiting for quite a while."

The little official glanced at him, said "never", turned around and left without saying a word.

Dong Xun also glanced at him, and then quickly followed out.

Li Qing and Chen Wansan followed suit.

Only Niu Siyuan was left in a daze for a long time in the side room.
