The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 560 Chain Links
In fact, Jiao Shun had already reported the content of this "Proposal for Official Positions in Engineering" to the emperor through a cryptic memorial.

The reason why Emperor Longyuan had to go over it carefully was mainly because he was afraid that Jia Baoyu would be too young and energetic, and would not be willing to be someone else's marionette, and insisted on including private goods in it.

Fortunately, after reading the whole article, there is no big problem except that the text tends to be superficial.

When it comes to writing, all civil and military officials in the court think that Jiao Aiqing is vulgar and uneducated, but they don't know that he secretly has a 'new' style...

"cough~"

Emperor Longyuan cleared his throat, pulled back his unknowingly wandering mind, and said to Jia Baoyu who was standing there, "If I send you to study engineering and become an official, what will you do?"

Jia Baoyu first frowned and pursed his lips, but soon restrained himself. He still didn't dare to reveal his true "aspiration" in front of his parents, and naturally he didn't dare to do it in front of the emperor.

At the moment, he cupped his hands and said, "Baoyu should serve the public wholeheartedly and live up to it..."

"OK OK."

Emperor Longyuan interrupted him impatiently, got up from the case, stretched his arms and said lazily: "Stop pretending in front of me, what are you thinking, can you still hide it from me? "

As he said that, he went around to Jia Baoyu and patted his left shoulder lightly, and said earnestly: "But you are growing up now, and some things can't be done according to your temper—especially your father and uncle are not in good health now, I heard that Jia Lian is not a material for being an official, and this Nuoda Rongguo Mansion will be propped up by you in the future."

"If it's elsewhere, Jiao Changqing is here to take care of you, so you won't be afraid of some omissions and mistakes. It's just for you to experience and practice—not just your parents, even your sister heard about it in the palace. Make an exception and open your mouth to me, but look at the meaning is also for you to go."

"When you go to engineering, it's best to learn from Jiao Changqing. Based on your background, if you can have six or seven points of him..."

The emperor originally wanted to say 'talent and learning', but Jiao Shun is certainly talented, but not the kind of talent and learning that ordinary scholars have. Baomenting will not fall."

Emperor Longyuan's earnest teachings are, firstly, because Jia Yuanchun loves the house and black people, and secondly, it is mainly because this brother-in-law is very likable, and he is a little less cautious than others, and it is quite good to be a companion once in a while relieve boredom.

But Jia Baoyu was full of bitterness when he heard it. He was not thinking about it, but he was forced to walk on this road. His parents' orders were nothing more than that, and now even the emperor said so, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape this festival.

Unless I learn from Uncle Jing in Dongfu...

Seeing his cute appearance, the emperor didn't know that he secretly thought of becoming a monk and Taoist priest, so he went back to the back of the imperial case in satisfaction, and while he was picking up ginseng tea, he planned to tell Concubine Xiande about this matter. Will she make an exception to accommodate her new style.

hmm~
It's better to delay it for two days, and wait until we have enough energy to talk about it.

There's no way, a man can't compare to a woman in this matter...

In other words, Jiao Changqing is good at everything else, but she is too exaggerated in some things, which is very inconsistent with her simple and detailed writing style.

What 'haven't had a good time' and so on, it's thanks to him that he can blow it out!
Emperor Longyuan's thoughts wandered in an out-of-focus direction for a while, before being brought back to his eyes again: "I will throw out this memorial tomorrow morning, and then you will inevitably be criticized by others. It’s better to prepare in advance so that you don’t have to worry about it.”

After a pause, he reminded: "If you have any questions, you can ask Jiao Changqing."

Jia Baoyu immediately bowed in response.

The emperor saw that he was not in high spirits, and he had no energy, so he simply didn't keep him, and only rewarded two novelty toys at random, as a reward for this memorial, and ordered Baoyu to be sent out of the palace gate. .

Thinking that he would be an official soon, Jia Baoyu sighed and mourned along the way, and when he got home, he was in a daze. It was not until he entered the Grand View Garden that he suddenly noticed that the atmosphere was different.

He deliberately asked someone to ask what happened, but the maids and servants who passed by had no choice but to see him as if they had seen a ghost, hiding from far away and avoiding close, which made him even more suspicious.

When they got near Yihong courtyard, they could hear loud cries in the courtyard.

Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what happened yesterday that Zhui'er committed suicide by bumping into a pillar, and he had a prediction in his heart. I don't know what this pendant looked like.

So he was stunned for a while, and then he lifted his legs and walked into the courtyard.

Originally, I thought that the family members who saw Zhui'er would give more money for the funeral, but when I entered the courtyard, I saw Musk Moon and Bihen standing outside the door of the wing, each crying pear blossoms with rain.

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu sighed again, stepped forward and said: "It's hard for you to care so much about Zhui'er, I will give you a holiday when she is in her first seven days, and I will go and give you a gift..."

"Second Master!"

Before he could finish speaking, Bihen suddenly let out a mournful cry: "It's not Zhui'er, it's Qiuwen, she, she hanged herself in this room!"

"What, what?!"

The sadness on Jia Baoyu's face froze. First he staggered back two steps, covered his head and shook his head and asked, "How, how is it possible?! When I went out, I was still fine!"

Sheyue Bihen hurriedly stepped forward to support him, explaining one by one: "After the second master left, the wife brought the third girl."

"It is said that there was such an incident yesterday, and another innocent life was filled in. The affairs of the poetry club must be investigated to the end, and an explanation must be given to the princess."

"Qiu Wen's complexion was not right at the time, and then..."

When Bihen and Sheyue said this, they exchanged glances with each other, skipped the process of Xiren and Tanchun to test Qiuwen in tacit understanding, and said directly: "Later, she didn't come out of the house until Xiren entered the house to get her. It’s only now that I found out that she committed suicide in fear of crime!”

"How? How is it possible?!"

Jia Baoyu's hands and feet trembled wildly, if it wasn't for the support of the two of them, he might have collapsed to the ground long ago.

Different from Zhui'er who has hardly been in touch with, Qiu Wen is the big maid who is by his side every day, and even had a skin relationship in secret, who would have thought that he would die so suddenly? !

In just two days, two maids died in Yihong Courtyard, no wonder the servants and maids on the road avoided them.

He struggled to go into the house to take a look, but Sheyue Bihen didn't stop her, but reminded: "She was hanged, she looked very scary, and there was defecation and other things on her body, the second master should be prepared... ..."

Having said that, Jia Baoyu's feet became softer.

After hesitating again and again, he wiped his tears and said, "It's better to let her, let her go."

It's not all because of his fickleness and timidity, and he is even more unwilling to destroy Qiu Wen's image in his heart.

Immediately Baoyu asked blankly again: "How could she die in fear of sin? Why would she die in fear of sin when she is so good?"

Sheyue Bihen exchanged glances again, not knowing what to say, Xiren suddenly came out of the wing room, stepped forward to replace Bihen, and said sadly: "Actually, when Qingwen was here, she said that her hands and feet were not right. Clean, I just didn't believe it at the time, who would have imagined... If I knew it earlier, we would have taught her some lessons in advance, so I wouldn't have lost my life."

Baoyu was stunned: "Qingwen said her hands and feet were not clean? When did it happen? Why, why have I never heard of it?"

"It happened before Qingwen was kicked out by his wife. At that time, the second master asked Qiuwen to send flowers to the wife and the old lady. At that time, he said that he left the vase in the old lady's house. I checked with Caixia Caiyun earlier. Excuse me, the flowers were sent, but the bottle was not left behind..."

"Later, Qingwen ordered her a few words in person, and said that she would fetch the vase for her, so Qiu Wen took the vase back from nowhere."

Jia Baoyu believed it only a little bit, and then he stamped his feet and beat his chest and said, "Stupid, really stupid! I won't give her what she wants? It's just that she has such shallow eyesight, she insists, insists, cough cough cough..."

As he spoke, he coughed violently, his coughing face flushed with blood.

Xiren and the others were so frightened that they quickly helped him into the main room, massaged his chest and back, and quickly took some medicine such as loquat cream to drink.

It was easy for Baoyu to slow down, and the colorful cloud outside came to send a message, saying that Xiren should go to the hut in Qingtang.

Xiren thought that he wanted to discuss the funeral of Qiuwen and Zhui'er, so he gave some instructions, and then followed Caiyun out of Yihong Courtyard with trepidation—her quasi-aunt was not for nothing, something happened. It is natural to be held accountable.

Not wanting to wait until the hut in Qingtang, what Mrs. Wang said was: "Do you think the Fengshui of this Yihong Courtyard is not good? Let's not talk about thieves after repeated troubles, and now two people died in a row - this is seeing the two of you The master is getting old too, not to mention that he is going to be an official and get married, and no one will live with his sisters anymore, and if he speaks out, he is afraid of making people laugh, so I thought, I might as well move back to the front yard."

"You might as well lay the groundwork with him first when you go back, and when Uncle Jiao next door moves out after a while, they will move out together."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang didn't intend to blame him, Xiren was relieved at first, but then became worried.

After hesitating for a moment, he first agreed with Mrs. Wang's decision: "Madam is wise, there are no bad things in the past two days, and sooner or later I should move."

Then he said sideways: "It's just that the second master has always been nostalgic for the past, and Kuang has been used to playing with his sisters since he was a child. This sudden separation, but I'm afraid it may not be able to turn around, and it will affect the important matters of being an official and getting married."

Because of the approaching wedding date, Baoyu went mad again and again. If he was 'kicked out' of the Grand View Garden again, what would happen?

"This……"

Mrs. Wang frowned for a long while, and finally realized the unfinished meaning of her words, and murmured: "From this point of view, it is indeed time to mention the matter of Miss Lin, and we have cut off our mutual thoughts earlier. , so as not to cause trouble."

Xiren was overjoyed when she heard the words. This was what she was looking forward to the most these days, but because of her status, she didn't dare to speak rashly. She had a bad nose with Wang Xifeng a while ago, and she regretted it for a long time. Who would want Mrs. Wang? He even took the initiative to bring this up.

It was hard for her to restrain herself, she didn't show a joyful expression, but she heard Mrs. Wang ask: "How do you think about Qiu Wen's funeral?"

"This……"

The attacker hurriedly bowed and said, "Slaves, how dare you speak nonsense."

"Just say what you say."

"From the point of view of the servant girl, although the dead are the most important, but there was such a big disturbance yesterday, and there was another Zhui'er in front of him. If you blindly cover up the autumn patterns, you will inevitably be confused. It's better..."

"Ah."

Mrs. Wang nodded in satisfaction, and distributed according to the situation: "Then I will leave this matter to you. The matter started from Yihong Courtyard, and it should end from Yihong Courtyard."

This is clearly a hot potato.

They are all sisters who grew up together since they were young. It is unavoidable to be ashamed to jump out and throw trouble at this time, not to mention there is Baoyu whose three views follow five senses, if he knows...

It's just that if you want to inherit the crown, you must bear the burden, and if you want to be a concubine, you will naturally have to pay more than others, so Xiren still bit the bullet and accepted this job.

After leaving the Qingtang hut, Xiren was thinking all the way how to spread Qiuwen's "deeds" before his death, without being suspected of being on his own head. He passed by a gazebo inadvertently, and saw a few servants gathering together from a distance. Whispering together.

She had something in her mind, so she thought that this must be discussing the death of Zhui'er and Qiuwen, subconsciously she stepped lightly, and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.

"Second Grandma is obviously ill, but she doesn't stay at home to recuperate from her illness. Instead, she occupies the magpie's nest in Grandma's Daoxiang Village. I see, this must be disobedience to my wife!"

"Isn't that right! Ma'am is clearly paving the way for Miss Bao, why is Second Mistress willing to abdicate like this?"

"Isn't she abdicating the throne for the virtuous? Miss Bao has always been the most generous girl. She has never seen anyone blush. It's not like our second grandma. She stares like she wants to eat people, and secretly hugs money at home..."

Hearing this, the attacker knew that he had made a mistake.

That's right, although the matter of Zhui'er and Qiuwen was big, in the eyes of the maids and servants, it still couldn't compare to the impact caused by the second grandma's loss of power.

But what is Second Mistress going to live in Daoxiang Village for?
Protest to wife?
If this kind of protest was useful, Grandma wouldn't have been cast as idle for so many years.

After much deliberation, Xiren couldn't figure out what Wang Xifeng's intention was. After all, how could she know that there was a 'Night Walker' who could come and go in this Grand View Garden?
It's evening.

Jiao Shun returned home and saw Ping'er who had been waiting for a long time. Only then did he know about the latest major changes in the Rongguo Mansion. He also heard that Wang Xifeng had asked him to see him at night, so he could not help crying secretly.

This phoenix hot pepper is never taboo, but just refuses to suffer!

If it's like in the TV series, when she is sick and has no choice but to rely on, it's fine. Now that she grabs her own life-saving straw, she doesn't know what will happen-don't forget, she is here In the original book, because of bitterness and jealousy, Zhang's family was instigated to sue Jia Lian during the mourning period to force people to divorce and stop their wives to remarry.

Hey~
If I had known earlier, I should have endured it and not provoke this hot pepper.

But this is just an afterthought, even if it is now, he will definitely not be able to stand the extreme temptation of this swindler.

　Previously on Zhihu, I saw someone analyze chapter 37 of the original work, Qingwen used a bottle to talk about things, and analyzed that Qiuwen's hands and feet were not clean. Lao Ao thought it made sense, so he picked up the wisdom of others.
