The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 547 Into the Night [Part [-]]

When she got home, Mei Guangyan was still a little dazed.

Not to mention that he and Jiao Shun are at odds, at least they have old grudges - although he mainly resented Jiao Shun and Xue's family, when he retired from the marriage, he used Jiao Shun as an excuse.

So from Mei Guangyan's point of view, Jiao Shun must also be hostile to him.

So when he heard that he was going to be sent to be a supervisor, although he was reluctant, he also felt that it was reasonable for Jiao Shun to make things difficult for him.

But who would have thought that immediately after that, Jiao Shun would suddenly propose to come to his home to express his condolences?

If it was before the first seven days, it could still be said to be socializing.

But I clearly told him that the funeral was already over, and he insisted on coming to make up for the 'ceremony', which is really incomprehensible?
court?

But there are many ways to show favor, so there is no need to come here, right?

Mei Guangyan stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why. It wasn't until his wife came over to ask if he wanted cloth, that he realized that it was already noon.

After standing up and stretching his muscles, Mei Guangyan asked casually, "Where's Baosen?"

"Didn't the master tell him to go to the academy to ask for leave? Now that he is in the academy, he must have a gathering with some familiar classmates."

"Oh."

Mei Guangyan nodded suddenly, and asked again: "Where are the things that were removed from the mourning hall a while ago?"

Mrs. Mei's first seven days have passed, and even the coffin has been sealed and moved to another place, waiting to leave for the south for burial, and the mourning hall has already been demolished.

But since Jiao Shun wanted to come over to express his condolences, he had to arrange something.

"Why does the master ask these questions?"

Mrs. Mei turned her gaze a little uncomfortably, and said: "After all, it's a bit unlucky, and those who are not very precious will be dealt with directly."

In fact, the real reason was not that it was unlucky, but that every time Mrs. Mei saw those things, she would think of the humiliation she had endured in the mourning hall, so she waited for the first seven days to pass before ordering people to throw away all related objects.

"Ah~"

Mei Hanlin sighed, and said helplessly: "It's not that Jiao Shun, he heard that his mother just passed away a while ago, and he insisted on coming to our house to express his condolences, so I stopped him..."

Speaking of this, suddenly seeing his wife's expression changed, he couldn't help asking in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

Mrs. Mei hurriedly put on a troubled look and said, "Since he wants to come to express his condolences, he has to re-arrange things—tablets, white cloth, etc., but what about mother's coffin?"

"Of course I can't disturb my mother!"

Mei Guangyan said resolutely: "It's just a matter of arranging it a little bit. It's his business if he insists on coming. If we flatter him, what kind of words will it spread?"

Maeve said "yes" in his mouth, but he was very distressed in secret. The master said it lightly, but he had a big handle in Jiao Shun's hands. way?
It's not that Mrs. Mei didn't think about it, so she might just hide out at that time.

The problem is that this matter is not a one-shot deal. In the future, her husband will be an official under Jiao Shun's hands. If he avoided it this time, there is no guarantee that Jiao Shun will not seek compensation from other places, or even make things worse...

So after thinking about it, she finally chose to wait passively.

…………

It's approaching evening.

Shuan Zhu commanded two yamen servants, and carefully carried a large box onto the carriage, one of the yamen servants was familiar with Shuanzhu, rubbing his wrists, and said with a half-truth and half-fake smile: "Master Hu, what's in it?" , dead and heavy, shouldn’t it be this?”

As he spoke, he compared Brother Kong Fang's appearance.

"嘁~"

Hu Shuanzhu snorted, and said, "Are there other things in your eyes besides money? I'll tell you the truth, it's filled with Thunder God, Lightning Mother, and a night pearl the size of a goose egg!"

"Master Hu, you are joking."

The yamen servant waited to ask further questions, and Jiao Shun, who was wearing an official robe, walked out from the second gate, the yamen servant immediately became shorter, bowed his body and retreated to the side.

Shuan Zhu hurriedly set up the wooden ladder for boarding the car, and when Jiao Shun got into the car, he picked up the ladder and ran around to the front.

Not long after, the two tall horses kicked and stomped out of the west corner gate of the Ministry of Industry, and ran towards Rongguo Mansion along the long street.

Speechless all the way.

When they got home, Jiao Shun went to meet his parents first, and then went to the south room in the East Wing to tease his daughter for a while, then let Shuan Zhu pull the wooden box with a tricycle and went to the Grand View Garden for the banquet.

In the past, whenever he came to the Grand View Garden, he must be alone, because of those unspeakable dirty thoughts.

But this time, in order to avoid a series of rear-end chases at night, Jiao Shun insisted on breaking his own rules—in order not to arouse suspicion, he even specially brought a novelty item from the yamen as a cover-up.

When they arrived at the Ou Xiangxie, Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu and his son had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that he had specially brought a big wooden box, and the wooden box had no decorations, it looked plain and unpretentious, and it didn't look like a gift at all. Both father and son couldn't help but look sideways.

"Brother Jiao."

Although Baoyu was reluctant, it didn't affect his curiosity: "What's in it?"

Jiao Shun patted the box lightly and said with a smile: "This is the latest novelty made by the Ministry of Industry, and it still needs to be tested and tested, so it hasn't been sent to the palace yet - I simply brought it here, and let it go Uncle Shi and Brother Bao hold palm eyes."

Hearing that it was a novelty, Jia Baoyu became more and more interested, and wanted to use it to avoid the topic of becoming an official in engineering, so he hurriedly called Jia Zheng's companion to unload the big wooden box.

"Be careful, there are a few fragile things inside."

Jiao Shun gave a warning, and then followed Jia Zheng into the Ouxiangxie.

Not long after, Jia Baoyu also led the people to carry the box in, before asking Jiao Shun for instructions, he pried off the lid of the box, and looked inside with interest.

"what is this?"

Immediately, he took out a transparent glass ball with a strange expression on his face, held it carefully in his hand, and showed it to Jia Zheng.

I saw that the glass ball seemed to be a thin layer, empty inside, only a few black metal wires, and one end of the glass ball was inlaid with a metal cap - but what else could it be if it wasn't a light bulb?
And the dead thing in the box is a simple hand-cranked magnetic generator.

As a person who once lived in the electrical age, Jiao Shun naturally did not forget the most important cornerstone of the second industrial revolution while improving guns and trial-manufacturing trains.

But someone Jiao knew it but didn't know why, so he took a lot of detours, and finally came up with a hand-operated generator.

As for the light bulb, it is much simpler. The Taizu of this dynasty started by burning glass, brewing perfume, and improving soap. A by-product of light bulbs.

In fact, this generator is already a finalized model, and the tests that need to be done have been completed, but because the ancients were in awe of lightning and worried about the danger of this thing, the Ministry has been suppressing it and not letting it be reported.

Jiao Shun brought it this time with the intention of passing it into the palace through Jia Baoyu's mouth.

Seeing Jia Baoyu asking with a light bulb, Jiao smiled and signaled Shuan Zhu to step forward to operate, pressed the light bulb on the generator, and then shook the machine vigorously. Steadily emitting bright light.

Jia Zheng was dumbfounded, and Jia Baoyu and his followers even yelled loudly.

After Jia Zheng realized that they had lost face by making such a fuss, and threw those relatives out of the Ouxiangxie, the rumors about generators and electric lights, as well as the news that Jiao Shun had come to the Grand View Garden for a banquet, naturally disappeared. spread like wildfire.

Mrs. Wang had been waiting for the news, and when she heard that Jiao Shun really came, she was excited and nervous, she couldn't help but sweat from the chime hammer.

When Wang Xifeng got the news, she immediately went to Daoxiang Village, and asked Li Wan with a smile if she wanted to imitate him. If she wanted to, she would stay in Daoxiang Village to cover for Li Wan.

Inexplicably changing from a single chicken to a double row before, Wang Xifeng was actually quite upset, so she wanted to encourage Li Wan to come forward, and then secretly find out who it was that night - if the other party also had this intention, then it would only be Li Wan who was exposed. white silk.

Li Wan already knew what she met when she went back, and immediately shook her head and smiled when she heard the words: "You are used to eating alone, but today you are suddenly so generous, maybe there are some crooked intentions hidden, I will not be fooled by you!"

Seeing that she refused to give in, Wang Xifeng also stopped thinking about playing ghosts, and turned to inquiring about Jiao Shun's outer house.

"I heard that that friend often spends the night outside. There must be another place where he can have fun and have fun. You are the closest to him. You must have known where he set up an outhouse?"

Li Wan asked back, "Why are you asking about this?"

"Of course it's a comparison."

Wang Xifeng pretended to be grand and waved his hands and said: "He will move out after a while, are you willing to cut off contact? Why don't we just build a house, as if he is raising rabbits and living outside!"

Li Wan chuckled, covered his mouth and said, "Don't show your timidity, a man who raises a man is called Master Rabbit."

Immediately, he asked again: "Even if we set up a house, it's not good for us women to go out often?"

"Find a reason!"

Wang Xifengxian thought it over a long time ago, and immediately said: "Whether it's burning incense and worshiping Buddha, or something, it's not easy to find a reason? At that time, we just need to build the house near the temple."

Hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Li Wan immediately thought of Jiao Shun's recent arrangement, and thought to himself that this enemy bought the nunnery for Miaoyu, did he have a plan long ago?
Seeing that Li Wan seemed a little moved, Wang Xifeng was secretly thinking about how to make a false report so that Li Wan would pay all the expenses for buying the house.

the other side.

When Jia Tanchun heard that Jiao Shun came to drink in the garden again, he immediately thought of the humiliating scene of double rowing that day, and made up his mind not to repeat the same mistakes.

only……

Thinking of what Aunt Zhao said yesterday, she felt uneasy.

The last time I was disturbed by the second sister-in-law, I couldn't make the matter of the concubine a reality. If someone sees the needle at this time...

Thinking of this, she snapped her fingers and counted. If the second sister-in-law has a family like that, there is no need to worry;

The second sister is already a master.

The fourth younger sister was still young, and secondly, she was fascinated by those principles and meditations, so it was unlikely that she would do such a thing.

Xiangyun...

She was originally the woman that Jiao Shun wanted Ming Mei to marry, no matter what she did, it would not affect his grand plan of sex.

The Xue family sisters have already moved out, so there is no need to think about it.

After thinking about it, Lin Daiyu was the only one who was not sure.

Ordinarily, with Sister Lin's aloof temperament, she might not agree to being cum on someone.

But the world is unpredictable, why did I regard Brother Jiao as a good match back then, but now I don't want to marry into the Jiao family with all my heart?
In particular, Xing Xiuyan and her love sisters, and now she is acting strangers to Bao's second brother, and if she can't keep it together...

The more you think about it, the more restless you become.

In the end, she still couldn't help leaving Qiu Shuang Zhai alone, and took advantage of the night to touch the Ou Xiangxie, thinking that if there was a chance, she would go to Jiao Shun to finalize the matter of concubine, so as not to feel uneasy.

As a result, as soon as we arrived near the Ouxiangxie, we saw two familiar figures wandering around the only way to enter and exit the Ouxiangxie.

Second sister?
And embroidered orange?

What are they running here for?
When analyzing the rival in love just now, Jia Tanchun felt that the second sister already had a master and could no longer pose a threat to herself, but suddenly bumping into Yingchun here reminded her of the rumors about the second sister and Jiao Shun. .

Do not!
It's not just rumors, it seems that for a while, chess players often went to the second sister's house.

At that time, because I didn't pay much attention to Brother Jiao, I just thought it was their master-servant affection, but now that I think about it carefully, there is something unusual in it.

You must know that the old lady publicly questioned and opposed this marriage at the beginning, so it stands to reason that Siqi should have some taboos - even if she doesn't know the taboos, the eldest wife and second sister-in-law should raise some points in due course.

But at that time, both of them seemed to have become blind, allowing chess to communicate...

Perhaps it was not a rumor at the time, but a fact, and even got the tacit approval of the elders!
But even so, now that time has passed and the second sister has hired someone else, why did she do what she did today?
wrong!

Isn't the second sister-in-law also a person with a family?

Not yet...

While Tanchun was suspicious, Yingchun and Xiuju's master and servant were also whispering.

"Miss, I wish I had thought so sooner."

Xiuju looked at Yingchun with a bitter face, and said helplessly, "But now... ah, how can it be so easy to get divorced? Miss Qin did it because of the initiative of the Mei family...but the Sun family made a big deal out of this marriage. How could you give up so easily if you lost your money?"

Looking at the lotus root champagne surrounded by water, Yingchun said calmly: "It's up to people - you used to complain that I didn't dare to fight for anything, but now I really plan to fight, why do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it, it's just, just..."

Xiuju pinched the handkerchief and was speechless, she didn't know what was wrong with her, she used to advise the young lady to think more about herself and not always be obedient, but when her young lady became vigorous and resolute, she was a little at a loss as to what to do.

The main reason is that my young lady has changed too fast and too intensely.

It's only been a few days?
First, he openly resisted the orders of the Elder Master, and now he secretly came to find Uncle Jiao to inquire about the way to withdraw the engagement.

If people know about this, what should they do? !

"Who, who is where?!"

But at this moment, a scolding sound came from afar...
