The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 527
After bidding farewell to Jiao, he strode out of the main room, and saw Lin Hongyu guarding the porch, obviously waiting for him.

So Jiao stopped by the way and motioned for her to come closer and speak.

"uncle."

Hongyu quickly walked up to him, bowed and said, "Just now the old lady in that mansion sent someone to invite the uncle, it seems that it is because Princess Nan'an is coming to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow, and she wants to see the uncle by name."

I have to admit that this Lin Hongyu is actually the one with the highest EQ among the maids.

Because most of the members of the Jiao family were from the Rongguo Mansion, not to mention the maids of the Jiao family, even the Xu family and Lai Wang used to call them "Fuli" when they mentioned the Rongguo Mansion. A 'that' character to show the distinction.

Although Jiao Shun didn't care about this, in comparison, Lin Hongyu's approach was naturally more satisfying.

"Is Concubine Nan'an coming?"

Jiao Shun raised his eyebrows: "What else did you say?"

"That's all I said, and if I ask again, I'll just say I don't know."

"Ah."

Jiao Shun wasn't sure for a moment what the purpose of the concubine's visit was, so he thought of going to ask Mother Jia to inquire.

However, after taking a few steps, he stopped again, turned around and asked, "Where's Auntie?"

Ordinarily, for such an important matter, Xing Xiuyan should have come to tell herself that there is absolutely no reason to let the servant girl do it for her.

"Auntie took Miss to the garden."

Hongyu hurriedly said: "Miss didn't sleep well last night, and she refused to fall asleep again this afternoon. My aunt thought maybe she was frightened, so she planned to go to Changcui Nunnery to ask the teachers to help calm her down. shock."

Hearing the word 栊cui'an, Jiao Shun unconsciously thought of Miaoyu, and then thought of the fusion of spirit and flesh in the Daxiong Palace, illuminated by candlelight and shrouded in fragrant mist.

Shaking his head and forgetting the image of profaning the Buddha, he stepped out of the house again.

After going round and round along the inner wall to Jia's mother's courtyard, Jia Zheng and the others hadn't dispersed yet, just as you were talking to each other, deducing various situations that might arise tomorrow, when I suddenly heard that the Lord is coming, Please hurry up and ask Jiao Shun to come in and talk.

After exchanging pleasantries, the post was passed on to Jiao Shun.

Jiao Shun looked at the ten lines at a glance, and found that in addition to the concubine, there was also a little princess who was also coming, and he was playing in the name of this little princess, and he was determined at once.

Seeing that he had finished reading, Jia Zheng was afraid that he would be as confused by the literal meaning as he was, so he hurriedly explained: "The empress dowager obviously wanted to bring the princess over to meet friends through literature, but the message repeatedly hinted that it was hope. I can see you when the time comes, so it's obvious that I'm here for you."

After a pause, she reminded in a roundabout way: "Concubine Nan'an is the sister of the Empress Dowager after all, even if there is any arrogance and domineering at that time, I'm afraid we will not be able to restrain it."

These words are naturally intended to persuade Jiao Shun to be as patient as possible in front of the concubine.

If he had just explained to Jiao Shun in the past, it would have been enough for him to explain to Jiao Shun directly, but now he is so convoluted, but it also proves from the side that he has regarded Jiao Shun as an equal existence and needs to be respected to an equal degree.

Of course, this bend is not so easy to go around, if the emotions get agitated, I'm afraid they will go back to their old ways.

Jiao Shun naturally heard the meaning of Jia Zheng's words, but he shook his head and smiled indifferently: "I really let Uncle Shi talk, I saw King Nan'an's domineering in the Zhen Guogong's mansion in the morning—— It was an appointment to Uncle Yong Yi, but because King Nan'an said something unpleasant, my nephew just said goodbye and left."

"what?!"

Hearing this, Jia Zheng suddenly got up and called Jiao Shun over ahead of time, because he was worried that there would be a conflict between the two. Who would have thought that this conflict would have already happened.

Now, do you still need to ask about the purpose of Concubine Nan'an's visit?
It must have come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime!

Under the excitement, he couldn't help putting on a condescending face, and reprimanded: "After all, he is the king of Nan'an and the empress dowager's nephew, so if there is something inconsiderate in his words, you shouldn't embarrass him like this !"

"Zhenger!"

As soon as the words fell, Jia's mother raised her voice and called him, and then raised her hand to him, signaling him to be calm, and when Jia Zheng sat back with a sullen face, the old lady said with a smile to Jiao Shun: "If It's purely for the sake of provoking the teacher, so you shouldn't bring the princess to the door——Looking at it this way, the old man can feel relieved."

After all, he is the backbone of the Rongguo Mansion. Apart from the common problem of doting on his grandson, he still has some insight into the world.

At this time, Wang Xifeng also suddenly realized under her inspiration, so she clapped her hands and smiled and said: "Yes, yes! The concubine is probably here to make up for it this time. Since that is the case, naturally she will not make any embarrassing requests. Weird way The ancestors said that you can rest assured."

Then, he complimented the old lady and said: "Our ancestors are still wise, if we don't say this, I'm afraid we will still be confused in our hearts."

After the explanations by the old and the young, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zhengcai finally understood the way, and hurriedly echoed Wang Xifeng's praise of Jia's mother.

But Mother Jia waved her hands again and again, pointed at Jiao Shun and said, "Brother Shun has clearly seen through this point, but you still let my old woman jump out of the class to make an axe."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but secretly sighed that there was no successor in the Rongguo Mansion, and that the second son was already much better than his elder brother, but he was slow to realize these things, not to mention comparing with Jiao Shun, even Feng Yatou, a girl like Feng are smarter than him.

pity……

If he had known that Jiao Shun could be what he is today, when the rumors about him and the second girl spread in the mansion, he should not have tried his best to stop it, but should have pushed the boat along. Now that the Rongguo Mansion has the blessing of his son-in-law Chenglong Kuai, naturally he will not be afraid In the future, the family will fall.

But on second thought, Jiao Shun was going to marry his own niece, and since he was born in the Rongguo Mansion, even if he didn't become the son-in-law of the Jia family, he would still be able to support each other with the Rongguo Mansion in the future.

Thinking of this, she prepared to carefully warn her son afterward, and she must establish a good relationship with Jiao Shun in the future. Even if the Jiao family moved out, they should not shorten their contacts.

This is something.

But after Jia Zheng figured everything out, he suddenly felt embarrassed, and explained to Jiao Shun with a smirk, "Changqing, don't get me wrong, I was also worried that you would get into trouble, that's why..."

"Uncle Shi is too worried."

Jiao Shun didn't wait for him to finish, he hurriedly returned the salute, and said sternly: "If he just belittled my nephew face to face, my nephew would bear it, but he used the rumors in Shishu's family as a talking point, but my nephew would never I can't bear it!"

"Uh……"

Jia Zheng was embarrassed again.

He was so focused on making Jiao Shun swallow his anger, how could he think that this matter had something to do with him?

No matter how stupid he is, he can still guess that the rumors that the King of Nan'an would make fun of and make Jiao Shun feel uncomfortable must have something to do with Mrs. Wang's bewitching, so he didn't have the nerve to ask, and just turned his head and glared viciously. Mrs. Wang glanced.

Mrs. Wang naturally thought of this too, she was angry at Nan'an Wang's rudeness, and suddenly she was angered by her husband, so she also hated Jia Zheng.

Xindao said that if the King of Nan'an belittled himself face to face, I'm afraid that the person next to him for 20 years may not have the courage to refute, let alone walk away directly - it shows that his choice is not wrong, and he deserves his weakness. People are covered by green clouds!

Not to mention the respective thoughts of the couple.

Seeing that the concubine's visit had come to a conclusion, Mother Jia began to chat about another topic: "Before the end of the month, I plan to invite all the brothers and sisters of the Shi family to come and discuss where Yun girl got married—it's reasonable She was married from Marquis Bowling's Mansion, but Shi Nai is currently traveling across the ocean, and it is estimated that he may not be able to return in three to five years."

"According to my opinion, we might as well let her and Yingchun join in the fun, and get married from the Rongguo Mansion, so as not to cause trouble between their brothers and sisters."

In fact, Mother Jia didn't intend to get involved in this matter. After all, the Rongguo Mansion was already a bit stretched to handle two weddings at the same time, so there was still room to intervene in Shi Xiangyun's wedding?

But now that he wants to win over Jiao Shun with all his heart, he naturally hopes that the deeper the bond between him and the Rongguo Mansion, the better.

After finishing speaking, Mother Jia asked Jiao Shun again: "Brother Shun, what do you think?"

Jiao Shun hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Of course it's all up to the old lady to decide."

After finalizing two serious matters in a row, it was naturally time for gossip.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Jia Zheng invited Jiao Shun to have a drink in the evening.

This time, instead of making an appointment in the garden, he was invited to have a banquet in Rongxi Hall.

Jiao Shun breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then felt empty in his heart, thinking to himself, what's the fun in just eating wine?
So he quickly evaded and said: "The little girl was probably frightened, and she was taken to Changcui Nunnery by Xiuyan to ask the masters to help calm the fright. I am really worried now, and I ask Uncle Shi to be more generous, and I will confirm it later. The little girl is fine, come back to Uncle Shi."

As he said that, he bowed to the end again: "I hope Uncle Shi will forgive me."

Hearing this, Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "It's always the same when you are a first-time father. Since you are worried about your daughter, it's the same when we make an appointment at another time."

"Don't go home and wait."

Mrs. Wang interrupted suddenly at this moment: "I might as well go with me to the garden to pick up Xiuyan's mother and daughter and go home, so that I can listen to the teachers and wives explain in person."

Jiao Shun was still hesitating, but Jia Mu smiled and said, "That's right, we're all one family from now on, there's nothing to avoid, just go with your aunt."

The old lady had already spoken, so Jiao Shun naturally had no choice but to agree.

However, she said that seeing everyone dispersed and Jia Zheng staying on the ground felt uneasy, Jia's mother thought that he still couldn't accept the reality that the blue is better than the blue, and she couldn't help but solemnly said: "Zheng'er, in the past, you didn't like Shun brother's sudden change." Climbing to a high position, as a mother, I don't force anything, but now even the two palaces treat him with more courtesy, if you can't put your mind right again, I'm afraid it will be the way to bring disaster!"

Jia Zheng was stunned when he heard the words. He was really annoyed that Mrs. Wang took the initiative to invite the "gossip protagonist" in front of him. It's not that he didn't correct his attitude, but his mother's words still made him reflect on himself.

That's right, if there is something really wrong between the two, how dare Wang blatantly invite Jiao Shun to go on the same journey?
What's more, in broad daylight, can there be any adultery?
With this thought, Jia Zheng gradually calmed down.

…………

the other side.

Jiao Shun followed Mrs. Wang into the Grand View Garden step by step, and Mrs. Wang turned her head and said to Caixia: "I have something to tell Brother Shun, you should take a few steps back first."

Caixia and the others hurriedly responded in unison, and waited for Mrs. Wang and Jiao Shun to walk more than ten steps away, and then followed them far behind.

Jiao Shun knew that the show was coming, and he became more respectful on the surface, but secretly pricked up his ears to raise his vigilance.

After walking a few more steps, Mrs. Wang said in a low voice, "I did it to avenge my lord's ruthlessness that day, but it was... also because of your sincere feelings."

Jiao Shun was baffled, and couldn't think of a time when he had given his sincerity to Mrs. Wang.

wrong!

You didn't even pay for your hypocrisy at all, did you?
Seeing that Jiao Shun remained silent, Mrs. Wang further explained: "I have read the poems and paintings you gave Yunyao [Aunt Xue], and she also confessed to me the little things between you. It's really hard for you to do this for a widowed woman."

Aunt Xue even told her this? !
Jiao Shun had already seen that she was naive, but he never expected that she would be so naive, let alone that Aunt Xue's naivety would attract Mrs. Wang's covetousness.

however……

Just because someone else pursues your sister, it still doesn't make sense to have a reverse overlord forcefully attack her, right?

Of course, things that women do on impulse often don't necessarily speak logic.

Jiao Shun was thinking about something, when Madam Wang suddenly asked: "What did King Nan'an say to make you leave the banquet angrily?"

These words obviously reveal the taste of knowing the truth.

Based on the physical relationship between the two, Jiao Shun felt that he had nothing to hide, so he learned what King Nan'an said to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was annoyed at first when she heard this, and then she couldn't help raising her hand to caress the fine lines around her eyes. Thinking of the description of 'skin fairer than snow, you are like a virgin', she was inexplicably happy.

After a long while, Xingxing stared at Jiao Shun with radiant love and said, "You have seen it with your own eyes, but you don't know how true this rumor is?"

Three and a half minutes at most.

Although her skin is fair, it is not as good as Shengxue's, so she can only score [-] points - based on what Jiao Shun has seen and heard, Xue Baochai is the only one who can say this, even Baoqin and Daiyu Are slightly less than.

As for the second half of the sentence Youruozi said, it is purely an inconsequential rumor.

But Jiao Shun would not be so stupid as to tell the truth, he immediately put on an eager expression, stared at Mrs. Wang's white neck and said: "It's really dark in the firewood room, I'm afraid I need to look carefully to know the truth." Fake."

In fact, he has no interest in what is true or false, but since he can't hide it, he might as well take the opportunity to avenge his shame.

Mrs. Wang listened to Jiao Shun's molesting words, felt the fiery gaze, and felt trembling all over. She was clearly dressed neatly, but she seemed to feel the excitement of the first time she confessed in front of the Buddha, to a certain extent. More than anything.

She took a deep breath, tried her best to suppress the throbbing in her heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Then, when there is a chance, you, you just look carefully from beginning to end."

After finishing speaking, she quickened her pace and led Caixia and the others back to the hut in Qingtang as if fleeing.

Jiao Shun watched Mrs. Wang go far away, and then went to the Changcui Nunnery on his own, seeing those plum trees through the courtyard wall, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

It's a pity that Miaoyu was not taken down before she was kicked out of Changcui Temple, otherwise wouldn't he be able to write a song "Interviewing Miaoyu Begging for Red Plums"?
Of course, the red plums he wanted to pick must not be the kind that grow on trees.
