The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 550 The Tiger in the Front and the Wolf in the Back [Middle]

However, Mei Guangyan entertained Jiao Shun in the front hall for a while, guessing that the mourning hall in the back should be ready, so she got up again and led Jiao Shun to the backyard.

He was remarkably silent along the way.

Speaking of which, Mei Guangyan and Jia Zheng are very similar, they are both the type who have spent many years in the yamen with no hope of promotion, thinking that their talents are underappreciated, but in fact they are the type with high eyesight and low abilities.

But after the last two blows, Mei Guangyan finally calmed down a little - otherwise, he would never have been humiliated under Jiao Shun's hands because he was born in the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

But in terms of the biggest blow to his mentality, it must be said that it was when he visited the engineering school today.

For a person like Mei Guangyan, if he was allowed to stand above the temple and give orders, he might be able to barely adapt, but it would be difficult for him to go to the construction site to manage every detail.

After looking around for a long time, his head was like a paste, and he didn't know where to start with so many thoughts.

Previously, he thought that Jiao Shun had seen through the emperor's arrangement, so he took the initiative to show his favor to him.

But after understanding the big and small things that he will manage in the future, Mei Guangyan subconsciously overturned this conclusion.

Or maybe...

The reason why this surname Jiao took the initiative to show his favor to him was to make himself numb and careless, and wait until he made a mistake in engineering, and then suddenly turned his face and made trouble.

Thinking of this, Mei Guangyan immediately raised her vigilance. Though she didn't understand construction, as long as she kept an eye on the site every day, wouldn't those muddy legs dare to play tricks under her nose?

That's right, when I get to the engineering school, I will do everything myself, and I must not let this villain's treachery succeed!
hmm~
Or just move to the engineering school for a while, the environment there is actually not bad, anyway, during the period of mourning, I can't wear silk and satin, and I can't listen to silk and bamboo songs. What is the difference between studying in engineering and living at home?
As long as he gritted his teeth and survived this period, and when his new position was confirmed, he wouldn't have to worry about Jiao Shun's stumbling again - he firmly believed that the emperor would definitely arrange for him a noble position that was easy to supervise.

After making up his mind, his restless heart gradually calmed down.

Only then did Mei Guangyan take the initiative to speak: "Because I was going to help the spirit go back to his hometown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the mourning hall has been withdrawn after the first seven days. Now it is just a temporary arrangement. Please forgive me if there is anything wrong."

"Brother Mei, you are being polite."

Jiao Shun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It was just me who made an abrupt mistake. In fact, there is no need for additional arrangements. I just want to make up for the old lady in front of the memorial tablet."

After hearing this, Mei Guangyan felt uneasy again.

He was obviously a stranger, and even indirectly had hatred, but Jiao Shun somehow showed a good-looking posture.

Even if you want to make yourself numb, you can't act so abruptly, right?
Silently giving Jiao a failing grade in his acting skills, Mei Guangyan saw that he had already arrived in front of the mourning hall, so he quickly took two steps, raised his hand to give way, and said, "My lord, please come in."

Jiao Shun slightly lifted the hem of his official robe, and walked into the temporary mourning hall. On the straw mats on the left and right, Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Mei Baosen were kneeling, and another woman was kneeling in the corner behind Mrs. Mei. Presumably it should be Mei Guangyan's concubine.

Jiao Shun withdrew his gaze and walked up to the tablet in a dignified manner. Seeing this, Mei Baosen hurriedly got up, and solemnly offered the three sticks of incense with both hands.

Taking advantage of the situation, Jiao Shun glanced at him, thinking that this kid was big enough to kill his grandmother, yet he didn't show any strange emotions at all.

Jiao Shun held the incense in his hand, bowed three times to the memorial tablet, then lit the candle, and inserted it firmly into the incense burner.

Originally, I should have said a few words appropriate to the situation, for example, as Mei Guangyan's leader, I told the old lady not to worry about Yunyun in her spirit.

But no matter how brazen Jiao is, thinking of what he did in the mourning hall, he still feels embarrassed to open his mouth.

Seeing that he had nothing else to say, Mei Guangyan gave his wife and children a wink, motioning them to come forward and salute.

Mrs. Mei and Mei Baosen immediately got up and turned to Jiao Shun, and knelt and kowtowed about half a foot in front of him.

"Sister-in-law and good nephew please hurry up!"

Jiao Shun quickly stretched out his hand to help, and took the opportunity to wink at Mrs. Mei.

He didn't know if Mrs. May could understand what he meant, but writing this detail into the article at least proved that he had worked hard.

Mrs. Mei met his eyes, and hurriedly buried her head in front of her chest, thinking that this person who came to the door on his own initiative really had evil intentions!

Fortunately, except for that look in the eyes, Jiao Shun didn't act rude any more. He simply asked Ma Baosen a few words, said some terrifying words for young people, and then left Ling with her husband...

and many more!

Young people are terrible?

Is he implying something?

Mrs. Mei's heart trembled, and she subconsciously looked at her son at the side, only to see that his son's thief eyes were waiting for an opportunity to greet her chest and hips, and his face couldn't hide his eagerness to move.

Why did I give birth to such a sinful obstacle? !

Mrs. Mei was furious for a while, wishing she could expose the truth and kill this villain!
At this moment, the steward came in and reported: "Ma'am, the master hastened to set up a banquet, Mr. Jiao wants to stay for dinner tonight."

"Stay for dinner?"

Mrs. Mei was taken aback, and couldn't help but blurted out: "Master didn't say that there was such a thing before."

The steward replied: "I heard that Mr. Jiao had a banquet for the master at noon. Now that the evening is approaching, the master naturally wants to be polite. Unexpectedly, Mr. Jiao took it seriously."

He didn't take it seriously, it was clearly premeditated!

Mrs. Mei gritted her teeth secretly, but she didn't dare to say anything else, she just nodded to show that she understood, and then ordered the back kitchen to take care of it, and sent people to buy some special dishes and came back.

About half an hour later, a table of rich food and wine, which was not complete in color and fragrance, was placed in the living room in the front yard.

Jiao Shun and Mei Guangyan exchanged cups, resorting to the tricks they used to deal with customers, and Mei Guangyan toasted again and again.

Pianmei Guangyan believes that Jiao Shun is numbing herself, and tries her best to put on a friendly face, wanting to do the opposite, so Jiao Shun's persuasion to drink is always open to anyone who comes.

After coming and going, although he didn't say he was drunk, he gradually lost his mind.

at the same time.

On the other side, Mrs. Mei was like an ant on a hot pot, neither advancing nor retreating, just circling around in the backyard in a hurry.

Until a woman came in and reported that the master was already drunk in the front yard, did Mr. Jiao mean to say goodbye?

She knew that Jiao Shun must have done this deliberately, in order to force herself to submit, but facing the servant's request, she could only stand up and say, "In that case, I'll go and see off Mr. Jiao."

The servant woman was slightly startled when she heard the words, and immediately asked tentatively: "Do you want to invite the young master together..."

Now that Meibaosen is grown up, it should be Meibaosen who acts as an outsider instead of Mei Guangyan.

"No need!"

Mrs. Mei flatly vetoed it, and then motioned for the maid to lead the way.

Although the servant woman was absolutely surprised, she didn't dare to say anything more when she thought that since the old lady passed away, the mother and son had not been very harmonious since the old lady locked the young master into the woodshed.

One after the other, they found the living room in the front yard.

When he entered the door, he saw Mei Guangyan lying on the table, murmuring something.

Mrs. Mei frowned slightly, while beckoning the maid to go forward to help her husband up, she passed by Xu Jiao through Zhang Zhang: "My poor man is too weak to drink, he really treats your lord poorly."

"Haha~"

Jiao Shun got up and laughed, waved his hands and said, "It's also my fault that I was drinking with Brother Mei for the first time, and I didn't grasp the measure for a while--but it doesn't matter, we will spend more time together in the future, as the saying goes, once you are born and you are familiar with each other, wait until you find out more Deep and shallow, it won’t be like this again.”

Listening to what he said, he focused on "one time raw and two times familiar" and "explore the depth". Mrs. Mei's palm-sized melon-seeded face was almost bleeding, and she took a deep breath, and managed to suppress the chest With turbulent emotions, he forced a smile and said: "My lord, what your lord said is that my poor husband is really too weak to drink today, and the family is keeping a filial piety. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient..."

These words obviously reveal the meaning of seeing off guests.

In fact, Jiao Shun didn't point out that Lai had to spend the night at Mei's house.

Not to mention that the relationship between the two parties has not reached this level, even if it has reached this level, the Mei family is still parking the coffin, who will stay overnight at this time?

But if he wanted to leave like this, he was afraid that it would be difficult to turn around and report to the emperor.

Hey~
It is said that being an errand is not free, but I never expected it to be such a law of not being free.

Jiao Shun had no choice but to continue to say: "It's been a busy day, especially leading Brother Mei to inspect the construction site. I'm really starved to death. Just now I just focused on drinking and chatting, but didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food—Ma'am Do yourself a favor, I'll fill up some more and leave."

As soon as these words came out, even the maid who was supporting Mei Guangyan couldn't help but look sideways, wondering what kind of official this is?Why are you so shameless?
Could it be that they came from home to eat and drink?

Mrs. Mei naturally understood that he meant to leave without reconciliation, and secretly hated this person for stalking him, but in order to send this plague god away, she had to make a compromise.

Immediately to accuse him of guilt, first he and the maid sent Mei Guangyan back to the backyard, then tried his best to avoid the left and right, and quietly walked back to the living room in the front yard.

It's just that she didn't realize that there was another person quietly following behind her.

And this person is none other than the coquettish and filial Mabelson.

Ever since he parted from his mother in the mourning hall, Mei Baosen felt uneasy in his heart. After careful consideration, he pinpointed the source of this uneasiness on Jiao Shun and Mrs. Mei.

Ordinarily, with his experience and IQ, he wouldn't have been able to discover the tricks in it.

But if he can't stand him, he will have an evil heart, and the more he thinks about himself and others, the more suspicious he becomes.

So he couldn't help but ran to the front of his parents' door to peep secretly, but he bumped into Mrs. Mei, moved away from the left and right, and groped quietly to the front yard.

Following behind, Meibaosen saw his mother sneaking into the hall, leaned sideways and quietly approached the door, carefully looking around.

At this glance, he was like a thunderbolt!

I saw that my mother, who was always virtuous and dignified, was hugged by Jiao Shun at the waist at this moment, and let this slut do her best!
how come?
How can it be? !
Mabelson couldn't believe it at first, and then burst into anger.

Fortunately, I thought my mother was a dignified lady, but I didn't expect her to have an affair with Jiao Shun!

It's fine for him to miss his mother, but how can he tolerate outsiders' involvement? !

Mei Baosen was furious for a moment, clenched his fists and was about to break in, fighting to the death with the Jiao thief.

But at this moment, Mrs. Mei tried her best to push Jiao Shun away, and said in a panic, "You better go, there are people coming and going here, if someone sees it..."

Jiao Shun asked with a playful smile, "Then when is it convenient for me to come?"

"You, don't come here again!"

Mrs. Mei straightened her loose skirt and said harshly: "If you want to force me again, don't blame me, don't blame me..."

"How about madam?"

The smile on Jiao Shun's face softened a bit: "You don't want the matter of your son poisoning his grandmother to be revealed, do you?"

Outside the door, Mei Baosen was rejoicing that his mother was not such a person after all, but when he heard this, he was shocked again!

Jiao Shun actually knew about poisoning his grandmother? !

"You, you are despicable and shameless!"

At this time, Mrs. Mei's scolding came from inside.

Then there was Jiao Shun's sneer: "I was forced to be this adulterer because Madam didn't take the initiative to sacrifice herself? Now Madam is outrightly beating him up, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"

Madam May was speechless for a moment.

No matter how much she deceived herself and put herself in the perspective of a victim, she couldn't get around the part of her own initiative.

After a while, her attitude softened a lot unconsciously, and she pleaded: "My lord, it's really not safe here, you should go back first - in the future, if there is a chance in the future..."

Halfway through, she couldn't go on.

It was her son who was facing death threats, so she mustered up the courage to do that.

And now, although Jiao Shun is still threatening herself with this matter, the things she and he did in the mourning hall are also a handle, and they can barely check and balance each other—she naturally couldn't have imagined that that matter had already been covered by Jiao Shun. The graphic report was presented to the emperor.

This has not been pushed to a corner, and his son's recent performance is really...

So in the middle of her speech, she was blocked by her own shame, lowered her head and took a few steps back, then suddenly turned and ran outside.

tsk~
Jiao Shun watched her rush out of the living room with a face full of shame and anger, smacking her lips helplessly, thinking that these harvests should barely fool the emperor, at worst they should be divided into three episodes.

Thinking of this, he raised his voice and shouted: "Come here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person rushing in staggeringly, just when Jiao Shun was about to tell him that he was going to leave, he suddenly saw that person kneeling down, took two steps on his knees and hugged his thigh, Weeping and begging: "Uncle Shi, it's all my mother's ignorance, I'm going to chase her back to you - for the sake of your relationship with your mother, Uncle Shi must absolutely spare my nephew's life !"
