The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 532
September sixteenth.

Early in the morning, more than [-] carriages were parked outside the back gate of Rongguo Mansion. Hundreds of servants, dressed like butterflies, chanted and carried the packed luggage, one by one, onto the carriage. Then use hemp rope as thick as chicken eggs to securely net.

As the sun rose, Xue Biao, who was in charge of the scene, saw that the luggage was almost packed, so he grabbed a familiar servant and asked, "Have you ever seen the old man?"

The servant looked back and pointed: "Isn't the uncle drinking tea in the concierge?"

Xue Biao sighed secretly, let go of the man and walked quickly to the gatehouse, wiped his sweat and said to the bored Xue Pan: "Brother, everything is almost packed, do you think it's time to invite my aunt and my mother to leave? "

"Is it ready?"

Xue Pan jumped up suddenly, and complained nonchalantly: "Isn't it enough to have you staring at me, but you still have to let me come—go, go, go to the garden to remind me, if we don't remind you, then Bian'er is not sure how long it will be delayed."

So the two brothers rushed to the hut in Qingtang together.

Because the maids and servants in the garden had already received their orders, they were deserted along the road, so they were not afraid of bumping into anyone.

But when they arrived at the Qingtang hut, it was a different scene.

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, You Shi, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, and even the girls came to see them off together. There were three or forty maids with them, and even the gates of Yingying and Yanyan were blocked.

Xue Pan ignored him and wanted to rush in, but Xue Biao quickly stopped him when he saw the situation, and cupped his hands at the maids in front of the door: "Please go in and report, my sisters, and say that the luggage has been loaded on the car, please." Ladies tell me when to leave."

One of the maids immediately responded readily, and trotted in to report.

In the main room, Mrs. Wang had been holding Aunt Xue reluctantly, but when she was urged to leave when she was outside, she held on tighter and was reluctant to let go.

For one thing, the two sisters have been inseparable from Mengmeng for the past four or five years, and their relationship is closer than when they were young, so naturally they are reluctant to part.

Next time...

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to take advantage of Aunt Xue's name to take advantage of Jiao Shun in order to avenge his 'no one's eyes', but before this plan was implemented, Aunt Xue was going to move out first, which really made her feel unwilling.

Mrs. Xing watched from the side, and teased with a little sourness: "Look at the troubles of life and death, isn't it just moving to Zijin Street? Who can stop you sisters from walking around? Besides, in half a year, Bao Isn't the girl staying at our house forever?"

When Baochai heard this, she blushed and lowered her head.

Jia Baoyu on the side also bowed his head, but his face was full of bewilderment.

According to the agreement between the two, when Xue's family moved to Zijin Street, it meant that the countdown to their marriage had begun.

Although he has completely cut off his delusional thoughts about Sister Lin now, when he thinks that he will start a family and start a business soon, his heart is still empty.

Will Sister Bao, like other married women, gradually turn into dead fish eyes?
Thinking of her usual stern performance, Jia Baoyu's heart was full of pessimism.

Why do people grow up?

Why get married?
Why can't everyone be affectionate and play together forever? !

"Baoyu, Baoyu?"

It wasn't until Mrs. Wang raised her voice that Jia Baoyu woke up suddenly, and hurriedly replied with a forced smile, "What's your order, madam?"

"Go and talk to cousin Ni, just say we have to go to the old lady's to say goodbye later, let him and brother tadpole take care of the team, and don't make any trouble."

Baoyu responded, subconsciously glanced at Baochai, and then turned around and left the main room.

"This child."

Mrs. Wang sighed a little worriedly, and immediately greeted Aunt Xue and said, "Let's go, let's go to the old lady's courtyard together, she probably still has a few words to explain."

The crowd bustled out of the Qingtang hut.

In the front, Mrs. Wang was pulling Aunt Xue to remind her, while Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Xue Er were polite and alienated at the back. After that, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, and Youshi gathered together and whispered.

As for the two sisters, Baochai and Baoqin, they were surrounded by all the sisters, and they almost couldn't hold the parting gifts in their hands.

Baochai originally intended to give the things to Ying'er and the others, but Baoqin hugged her share with tears in her eyes and did not let go, so she could only draw gourds and ladles from the sidelines.

In the end, Tanchun couldn't see it, so he took the initiative to ask the servant girl to share the burden, and Baochai was relieved from it.

She swayed her sore wrists in her sleeves indiscriminately, and said reluctantly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to be free again when I move there this time. Sisters, don't send short messages—if you have time to go to Zijin It would be best if you walk around the street."

This time when she moved to Zijin Street, she was about to get married, so she couldn't go out casually, that's why she said this.

"Didn't Sister Bao forget the suggestion of Princess Nan'an?"

Tanchun hurriedly said: "If you really invite us by posting a post, it will not be difficult for us sisters to see each other again."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard Xichun say 'huh', pointing down and asking: "Is that the second brother Bao?"

Everyone turned their heads when they heard the words, and saw Jia Baoyu standing at the foot of the hill, looking up at the Quicui nunnery surrounded by green trees on the top of the hill. arrival.

But it turned out that after he passed the news to Xue Pan and Xue Biao, he was really not in the mood to go back and report back, so he wandered around the garden trustingly, and somehow came to this Changcui nunnery, and then his mind was full of what Miaoyu had instilled in him back then. Buddhist Zen machine.

Although the girls didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, but seeing that he was acting like an idiot, he couldn't be thinking about the new old nun, so they didn't know what to say for a while, so they just peeked at Bao in embarrassment. Chai's complexion.

But Baochai seemed to be all right, with his hands in his sleeves secretly clenched.

"Ah~"

At this time, Xichun sighed: "I don't know where Miaoyu has gone. If I can be independent, I really want to practice with her, serve the Buddha every day, and have no worldly troubles."

"Humph~"

Before the words fell, there was a cold snort from the front, but it was You Shi who heard the words of the sister-in-law, and new hatred and old hatred surged in his heart.

But after thinking about it, she thought of Miaoyu's current situation, and she couldn't help but jokingly said: "It's not difficult if you really want to see her. When I find out where she is, I will bring you to ask for advice. See if she is good." Why do you serve the Buddha every day!"

She specifically named the word 'day', and everyone who heard it was a little puzzled.

But thinking of the enmity between her and Miaoyu, and the quarrel with the fourth girl Xichun, everyone classified it as cynicism and didn't go into it further.

Xichun raised her eyebrows even more, and said tit for tat: "Don't bother sister-in-law, I will find out about her in the future, and I will try to come to her door for advice."

"That feeling..."

Youshi was about to say something more, but Wang Xifeng took a shoulder and said jokingly: "Are you running to our house to bicker? Today is my aunt's house playing the leading role. I will talk about the private affairs of your house later. .”

As she said that, she called her name and said: "Third girl, go and call your brother over, otherwise the old lady won't see this sweetheart in a while, and she will search all over the world again."

Tanchun promised, and walked quickly to Jia Baoyu with his servant book, frightened him with Jia Zheng, and finally persuaded the stupid idiot.

When the two brothers and sisters rushed to Jia Mu's courtyard, they didn't know what emotional words Jia Mu had said, which only made Aunt Xue burst into tears, half kneeling and half sitting on the footrest of the arhat bed, pulling Mother Jia kept thanking her.

Although Xue's family met quite a few moths in the Rongguo Mansion, overall, relying on the blessing of the Rongguo Mansion, they survived the turbulent period when there was no one in charge of the family.

Although the old lady was more towards the former between Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, she always treated Aunt Xue, mother and daughter with courtesy, and never lacked a bit of courtesy.

Therefore, over the past four or five years, the simple-minded Aunt Xue has placed a lot of affection on this old lady.

Mother Jia also looked more kind and amiable than usual, she patted Aunt Xue's hand with her backhand and said repeatedly: "It's been hard for you these years, even though you have to move out now, don't be short of coming back, otherwise your sister If I don't pick on you, my wife won't follow me either."

Aunt Xue nodded her head heavily, and was about to promise that she would come and go frequently, when she suddenly heard that Jia Zheng was coming.

She hurriedly got up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and then hid beside Mrs. Wang in embarrassment.

Apart from Jia Zheng, there was also a familiar burly figure who didn't want to come in.

So in this room from Mrs. Wang down, a lot of people secretly focused their attention on the "foil" next to Jia Zhengsheng.

At this time, Jia Baoyu blurted out and asked, "Why didn't Brother Jiao go to the Yamen?"

"Ok?"

Jia Zheng glanced at him unhappily, and he immediately shrank back like a quail.

Jia Zheng withdrew his gaze and led Jiao Shun to meet the old lady. Jiao Shun then smiled and nodded at Baoyu and said, "Xue's family is moving, if I don't help, I'm afraid my mother won't be able to justify it." .”

Aunt Xue heard the words and subconsciously asked, "Your mother..."

As soon as the conversation started, it suddenly occurred to him that the two of them were unclear in private, but he was commensurate with Jiao Shun's mother and sister, so he blushed for a moment and said nothing.

Fortunately, Jiao Shun answered in time: "My mother said, there are people watching over here, and she can't help, so I might as well go to Zijin Street first, and if there is anything I can't reach, I will Zhang Luo Zhang Luo for my aunt."

Mrs. Xu used to be Aunt Xue's big maid when she was young, and now she has trained several useful female stewards in the Xue family, so she went to the old house on Zijin Street first, so you don't have to worry about being indifferent .

When Aunt Xue heard the words, she was moved by the sister's deep love, and the embarrassment in her heart grew stronger.

It's a good thing that she hasn't had anything to do with Jiao Shunzhen yet, if not, she really doesn't know how she should go to meet Xu later.

Mrs. Wang saw that she was not in the right mood, and hurriedly pulled her and said with a smile: "In this way, the two of you will become serious neighbors in the future, and it will be more convenient for you to walk around each other than me."

Originally, he was covering up for Aunt Xue casually, but after talking about it, he felt a little sour.

Xindao is in the Rongguo mansion, so there is still an obstacle, after going to Xue's house, she will do whatever she wants, and she will get ahead of Baochai to achieve good things.

After this little episode, Aunt Xue's sorrow of parting was reduced by [-]% to [-]%. After listening to Mother Jia's face-to-face exhortation, she came down to the back door of Rong Mansion surrounded by everyone.

At that time, besides the people from Rongguo Mansion and Xue's family, there were also a steward from the Wang family, a dozen strong men, and people from Osmanthus Xia's family.

It was reasonable for the Wang family to send people here, but the Xia family sent people here in such a hurry, which made everyone a little surprised.

Mrs. Wang explained to the Xing family and others beside her: "The marriage between Wenlong and Xia's family is about to be finalized, and the wedding date will be in early November."

"Early November?"

Xing asked in surprise, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ordinary families have to prepare for two or three months from the time they make an appointment to get married, let alone big families like Xue's and Xia's?
Besides, with Xue Pan's reputation, it would be good if someone is willing to marry him, why is he still in such a rushing posture?
Mrs. Wang actually felt that there was something strange about it, but Xue Pan was fascinated by Xia Jingui, and Aunt Xue was also happily waiting to become a mother-in-law, so she didn't pour cold water on it in the end.

If she doesn't say anything as a sister, how can others be troublesome?

Therefore, Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, and You Shi all praised the Xia family for their knowledge and interest, and Aunt Xue found a good family.

Xue Pan listened to it from a distance, grinning big mouth and puffing out his chest and folded his belly, becoming more and more triumphant, he squinted his bull's eye and scanned Lin Daiyu's body, thinking that when his daughter-in-law passed through the door, she must wear gold and silver. , Walking in front of Sister Lin a few times, let Sister Lin know what she missed.

Let's not mention these delusions.

But he said that he saw Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xue, and sister Baochai and Baoqin getting into the carriage at the back door and leaving Rongguo Mansion slowly.

Jiao Shunchong gave a slight salute to Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, and then got into his own carriage and followed closely behind - Mrs. Xu is now in Xue's old house, so he can follow the past in the name of picking up his mother. .

But he didn't expect that as soon as Jiao Shun's carriage left the back door of the Rong Mansion, a rider galloped towards him. He was heading straight for the Rong Guo Mansion. When he saw his carriage, he immediately turned around and chased after him.

After being reminded by the groom, Jiao Shun picked up the curtain and saw that it was a yamen servant who was registered in the Office of Siwu. He thought something happened in the yamen, so he hurriedly stopped the carriage and asked what happened.

The yamen servant wiped his sweat and reported: "Returning to the old man, the old man asked me to report the letter, saying that the imperial court has just appointed an academic officer to the engineering school."

The old man was referring to Laiwang, of course.

Jiao Shun raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Could it be that the candidate for Si Ye has already been decided?"

Si Ye is the deputy of Jijiu, that is, the number two person in Engineering, who can make my father send someone to send a message in a hurry, so he should be Si Ye.

But the position of Siye is so important, how could the emperor decide it directly without discussing it with himself?

"no!"

Just wondering, he didn't want the yamen servant to shake his head again and again: "It's not a secretary, but a senior official."

Jiao Shun was stunned: "School officer of the seventh and eighth rank? What's there to say?"

"This new academic officer seems to be Mei Hanlin from the Imperial Academy!"
