The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 568: Big or Small
On the way back from Zijin Street, Jiao Shun sighed for a long time, how depressed he was, he had always been greedy in this matter, and practiced the four characters of "food, sex and sexuality", but today he was forced to make a choice between the two.

At that time, he thought that the two kanban girls would always win one, but when he got out of Xue's house, he immediately sighed "cinnabar mole, white moonlight", and always felt that what he got was not as precious as what he lost.

It’s not hypocritical [actually it’s hypocritical]. Objectively speaking, Xue Baochai, who tends to be tall and plump, is undoubtedly more in line with his aesthetics, while Lin Daiyu, who focuses on white and thin… It’s not bad, but her bones have always been weak. Just in case, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his army?
It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now, unless sister Lin suddenly...

bah bah bah~
Jiao Shun barely held back the bottom line that kept falling, gritted his teeth and tried his best to forget about it - anyway, he had enough women in his pocket, and one less Xue Baoqin could...

Hey~
It really should be reconsidered just now!

Just like that all the way to Rongguo Mansion, the moment he entered the door, he suddenly remembered that there was another Jia Tanchun. With the temperament of the third girl, if he knew that he had made Lin Daiyu his first choice, what would happen? Come on.

However, she seemed to have tried her best to refuse before, and then she seemed to be shaken, but she never had the chance to speak out.

Or maybe...

Is it possible to take this opportunity to fight back and make a complete end?

On the road just now, someone in Jiao regretted not choosing Baoqin, but between Lin Daiyu and Jia Tanchun, he chose the former without hesitation.

In the final analysis, it is still the fallacy that what is lost is more precious than what is about to be acquired, and what is about to be acquired is naturally more precious than what has already been obtained.

The mind of a scumbag has always been so unpretentious and shameless.

When he got home and heard that Ping'er had come to look for him, Jiao Shun's thoughts immediately turned to Xue Baochai.

Thinking about what Aunt Xue said before, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng brought up the matter of asking her to help deliver the monthly stickers. The two people's thoughts are clearly revealed.

Then when it comes to the tenth day of the lunar new year, should I keep the big or small first?

Jiao Shun just thought about it for a while, and decided to choose Baoda first.

It's not that he is blindly greedy for women's style, the main reason is that if he makes a mistake, he will take Baochai by mistake. When he attacks Aunt Xue again, it will be like carrying a time bomb.

only……

Wang Xifeng obviously also wanted to do something on the tenth day of the lunar new year. If he ruined her plan, what would this woman do if she got angry and just let her go?
Do you still have to try to create an illusion for her that she is only close to success?

Jiao Shun thought it over several times, but it was hard to be sure, so he had to adapt to the situation when the time came.

Hey~
It is really not an easy task to be a pious scumbag who hides his head and shows his tail.

But how could it be possible for a scumbag who is completely undisguised to capture so many beautiful women?
…………

Nothing to say all night.In the afternoon.

After inspecting the badge outside the Xihua Gate, Jiao Shun led two master craftsmen who were in charge of developing the generator, followed the leading eunuchs into the Forbidden City, and walked around the high palace wall alleyway to find the construction office. place.

This is a rather large courtyard, but compared to the magnificence of the surrounding palaces, it is obviously much simpler.

Hearing the tinkling knocking sound from inside, the master craftsmen who had been cautious all the way suddenly regained their spirits, and couldn't help looking inside.

At this time, a plump and rich eunuch walked out from the manufacturing office quickly, with a smile on his fat and shiny face, he cupped his hands from a distance and said, "Lord Jiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. I really miss our family!"

This person is Zhou Wuyou, the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the manufacturing office is naturally under his control.

Because the Ministry of Industry inevitably had to deal with the inner government, and the Office of Secretary Affairs was the key to internal and external transportation, so the two of them had also dealt with several times on weekdays.

At first Zhou Wuyou was a little arrogant, always greedy for cheap things, but when Jiao Shun won the right to play secret scriptures and was urged by the emperor every day, Zhou Wuyou's attitude became more and more cordial day by day .

No, I heard that Jiao Shun was ordered to come to the Manufacturing Office to supervise the manufacturing of equipment, and he had been waiting here early in the morning.

Jiao Shunqiang cheered up and exchanged a few words with him, and then, under Zhou Wuyou's personal guidance, he entered the compound of the manufacturing office.

The layout of this courtyard is not much different from the Neifang of the Ministry of Industry, that is, most of the craftsmen are filled by eunuchs, with only a few master craftsmen being the exception.

The eunuchs that Jiao Shun saw in the past were either thin or round, but in this building office there are many majestic men of seven feet tall.

Listening to Zhou Wuyou's explanation, when Emperor Sejong moved the steam forging hammer out of the palace because he thought it was noisy, the manufacturing office could only rely on manpower, so he specially selected some tall and strong ones. Please come back, but the craftsmen have not been updated.

In the hall, after the two were divided into guests and hosts, a few eunuchs in charge came up to see them, Zhou Wuyou said in a nonchalant manner: "Lord Jiao is here by imperial order, so I have to obey the order Acting, if you little brats dare to be disrespectful, hum~"

Several eunuchs in charge dared not dare.

Only then did Zhou Wuyou turn his body to look at Jiao Shun: "Master Jiao, if you have anything to order, just talk to them. If they can't make the decision, then ask someone to summon me, Old Zhou."

"Boss Zhou is polite."

Jiao Shun saw that he had no intention of leaving, so he was not in a hurry to arrange errands, but only signaled to the two master craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to follow the eunuchs in charge to familiarize themselves with the environment of the manufacturing office, and by the way, see if there is anything else that needs to be removed from the outside. buy.

In fact, even if Zhou Wuyou left, he didn't have anything to arrange. What he can do now is to scale up the generator first, and then change it to steam power -- no matter what tricks he wants to play in the end, it will always be indispensable A strong power source.

When they are alone, the two of them will naturally chat more freely.

The Xingchen and the eunuch have been a match made in heaven since ancient times, and Kuang Jiaoshun is in charge of the Department of Works Department, and both parties have nothing to avoid in public or private, so naturally they talked very "speculatively".

Just when Jiao Shun cursed the fat man for the eighth time in his heart, suddenly a tall and thin eunuch in charge looked in from outside the hall door.

"Dog talent!"

Seeing Zhou Wuyou, he scolded angrily: "You are not looking after the house in the inner palace, what are you doing here?"

"Godfather, Lord Jiao."

The eunuch in charge hurriedly walked in with his robes in his hand, first met Zhou Wuyou and Jiao Shun with his hands together, and then said with a bitter face: "Widow Xia is here again, and she pointed out that we should end the marriage first." The old account, and then it will be fine..."

"fart!"

Zhou Wuyou interrupted his words, and said angrily: "The inner palace has its own rules, her family is also an old man in the imperial business, she should understand the rules, why are you so blind today and come to the palace Mess around?"

"This this……"

The eunuch in charge faltered, but his rotten eyes looked straight at Jiao Shun.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun pondered for a while, then asked, "But Osmanthus Xia's family?"

"Exactly, exactly!"

The eunuch in charge obviously breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing his hands and laughing: "Isn't she the widow Xia who is in charge of sending flowers and bonsai to the palace?"

Zhou Wuyou also noticed something strange at this moment, turned around and asked: "Why, Master Jiao also knows about this sweet-scented osmanthus Xia family?"

"Haha, the only daughter of her family was given to Ziweishe's Xue family. My mother and Mrs. Xue have known each other since childhood. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are good friends of the family-to be honest, I will be on behalf of the Xue family in a few days. Brother, go to Xia's house and place a month-to-month post."

Hearing this, Zhou Wuyou didn't understand, he shook his head and said with a smile: "It's strange that the widow Xia came here suddenly, so it turned out to be an abacus."

Then he asked again: "Master Jiao, do you want to see her?"

"I'll see you in a few days."

Jiao Shun waved his hand, and said: "Besides, even if there is a bit of love, it is not as big as the king's law. If there is anything illegal or non-compliant, I will deal with it impartially, and I will say nothing here."

Some words have to be listened to in reverse. Jiao Shun’s two sentences are full of "law is not merciful", but it has a different meaning when you look at it carefully. Moreover, he suddenly changed the manager to the elder brother, obviously he also focused on one " Private' word.

Zhou Wuyou was also very sophisticated, so he could hear it clearly, he laughed and said: "My brother is really upright, but there are human feelings beyond the king's law, since she has this kind of relationship with you, brother, I have to help take care of her." .”

As he spoke, he scolded the steward again: "Things with shallow eyelids will be my family from now on, so why don't I mention something?!"

"Godfather, don't worry, my son will take care of it."

The eunuch in charge hurriedly agreed, and offered a few words of flattery, and then backed out of the living room.

After going out, he proudly reached out to touch the bulging purse in his sleeve, but immediately frowned again.

He glanced back at the hall, hesitated for a while and then sighed, then turned to the inner mansion.

In the side hall of the inner mansion, a woman in her early thirties was restless, when she saw the eunuch in charge coming in from outside, she hurriedly smiled and greeted her.

Before she could open her mouth, the manager took out two bank notes and handed them over. The woman was stunned for a moment, her restless face suddenly showed panic, she refused to accept the money, and said in a trembling voice: "Liu Father-in-law, could it be, could it be that you haven't seen Lord Jiao?"

"I see it."

With a word from Eunuch Liu, the woman's complexion became worse and worse. She had heard the news from Xue's family in the morning that Jiao Shun was invited to post the next month's post on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. The palace supervised the making of some equipment, and this was the idea of ​​pretending to be a tiger.

But if that Jiao Shun is unreasonable and refuses to take advantage of himself on the spot, then it will be self-defeating!
Just as he was panicking and remorseful, Eunuch Liu suddenly smiled and said, "Since you have such a relationship, why didn't you tell me earlier? Take it, godfather ordered, from now on it will be my family, and there is no need to come to these fake things again."

"How did this happen, how did this happen?!"

Hearing the word 'my family', the woman's original panic turned into surprise, and she evaded with Eunuch Liu for a while, but in the end she barely took back one of the bank notes.

Both of them felt that this trip was a good one, and the next thing would naturally follow.

When she got out of the palace with the ticket from the Inner Palace, Mrs. Xia still couldn't believe it. Although she thought of pretending to be a tiger, she never expected that the effect would be so good!

I'm afraid that even if the two Patriarchs of Rongguo Mansion come together, it may not be able to have such an effect, right?
Mrs. Xia was in a trance all the way, and she didn't recover until she got home, so she made up her mind to wait until the tenth day of the lunar new year, and she must do her best to entertain Jiao, so as to take the opportunity to hug this thick leg tightly.

Then she remembered her daughter's temper, and hurriedly searched for her daughter's courtyard, intending to remind her to restrain herself at that time - although she explained that Xia Jingui didn't need to meet Jiao Shun face to face, the accompanying maid from the Xue family would definitely come to see her Let's talk about the future young mistress.

As a result, when we arrived at the daughter's courtyard, I heard someone crying bitterly in the main room. Mrs. Xia knew that her daughter must be punishing the servant again, so she couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Because her father died young and she was an only daughter, Mrs. Xia pampered and doted on Xia Jingui, obedient to everything, so she developed a domineering temperament, respecting herself like a bodhisattva and treating others like dirt.

And because her nickname is Jingui, she is not allowed to bring out the words "Jin" and "Gui" in her mouth. Anyone who accidentally says a word by mistake will be punished severely.

In the spring of this year, there was even a life lawsuit. Thanks to Mrs. Xia's management, it was easy to suppress this matter, and it never spread to the outside world.

And this was the real reason Mrs. Xia was in a hurry to marry her daughter, thinking that she would not be able to cure her, she might as well find someone who could subdue her, and send it out early, so as not to cause a catastrophe in the future.

Therefore, hearing that Xue Pan has a fierce reputation, the Xia family is not only not afraid, but thinks it is a good match.

As for Mrs. Xia's childhood sweetheart, she plans to recruit a husband immediately after her daughter is married, but it is all speculation by outsiders, and it is not true.

However, after Mrs. Xia entered the door, she saw a servant girl with only her small clothes stripped from her body, being pinned to the ground and whipped by two women. There was sarcasm on Bouncable's face.

"Stop hitting, let's all go down!"

Mrs. Xia waved away the crowd helplessly, walked up to her and stumbled: "My little aunt, I'm about to get married, can you stop for a few days first?!"

Xia Jingui spat out the skin of the melon seeds in a slow manner, rinsed her mouth with tea, and said indifferently: "She made a mistake, so I asked someone to beat her, shouldn't I?"

"Then you too... oh!"

Mrs. Xia was about to scold her, but when she saw that her daughter was getting impatient and turned her back, she could only sigh and said, "Forget it, it's only been a few days, you can do whatever you like, but be sure to restrain yourself on the tenth day. The person who came to post the month-to-month post for the Xue family is not an ordinary person, but Jiao Shun Jiao Changqing who has become famous recently, he..."

"It's him?!"

Xia Jingui got up suddenly, and his bright eyes were full of excitement: "I heard that this man is nearly ten feet tall, with a green face and fangs. He fled in embarrassment after beating thousands of scholars with his own strength..."

"Where did you hear all this?"

Mrs. Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she quickly interrupted her description and said, "Lord Jiao is not some kind of evil spirit, how could he have green-faced fangs?"

"Then you have seen him?"

"This is not."

Mrs. Xia said, seeing her daughter curl her cherry mouth, as if she wanted to argue with herself about Jiao Shun's appearance, she hurriedly said, "But just now I made a relationship with him in the palace..."

As he spoke, he recounted the previous events with some exaggeration.

The most sighed again: "You know how difficult it is to get the money owed by the inner government, but Mr. Jiao settled the matter easily without even showing his face, and even Eunuch Liu wanted to refund the bank note Give it to me—if our family can take the opportunity to climb onto Mr. Jiao's thick legs, we won't have to worry about it in the future! So..."

She was about to say, 'So you must be obedient on the tenth day of the new year', but Xia Jingui suddenly asked: "So why didn't my mother tell me to Mr. Jiao, and made a disgusting fool Xue?!"
