The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 569
Mrs. Xia was not surprised by her daughter's words, after all, it was not the first time Xia Jingui despised this marriage.

Although the Xia and Xue families are well-matched, even because of Aunt Xue's relationship with the Wang family and the Jia family, their family status is slightly higher than that of the Xia family.

But Xia Jingui has always thought highly of himself, so in his dreams, he only dreamed of being the number one scholar in the royal palace. How can a rich man like Xue Pan who has no wealth, no official status, be a good match?
Therefore, after hearing her daughter's complaint, Mrs. Xia just sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "Master Jiao has long been engaged to the daughter of the Marquis Bowling's Mansion, and what's worse, he is only poor in his background, so he wants to choose a noble girl to make up for it." , how can you marry a family of merchants like us?"

"Humph~"

Xia Jingui sneered, but she was full of confidence: "That means he has never met me before. If not, with his daughter's appearance, how could he not be worthy of him?"

As he said that, his black pupils turned around, and after a while he said again: "If this pair of monthly stickers doesn't work out, will it be..."

"What do you want to do?!"

Mrs. Xia was taken aback by her, and hurriedly interrupted: "Grandma, please calm down! After all, the Xue family is considered to be a famous family in Jinling, and with the help of Rongguo Mansion and Wang Taiwei - now there is another Lord Jiao. , you married in the past as long as you maintain these relationships, won't you be able to win the wind and the rain in the future?"

"嘁~"

Xia Jingui twitched her cherry lips, thinking that she still wants to be cheap with others?Why aren't others holding and supporting me?

Thinking of this, she made up her mind more and more, so she changed the subject and said, "Then Mr. Jiao has such a great prestige that even the inner government will sell his face?"

Mrs. Xia felt relieved when she saw that she no longer mentioned the matter of regretting the marriage, so she hurriedly added embellishments and said: "That's not right! Let's talk about Mr. Liu, what kind of face does he usually treat us? He has never been soft when he eats cards. But he followed up and wanted to return the money to me, so I only got half of it!"

"I also heard that Eunuch Liu said that the emperor now has to review Master Jiao's secret documents every day, and the content inside is not even allowed to be read by Eunuch Dai, who is closest to him. You say this..."

Xia Jingui had heard a lot of rumors about Jiao, but now he heard his mother say that he was amazing, his eyes became more and more radiant, and he secretly thought that this kind of person was a good match for him, as for Xue's big head...

Isn't there another daughter of the Marquis Mansion?
Wait until the one surnamed Jiao changes his mind, and let them form a couple.

This Xia Jingui can't be said to be stupid, it can only be said that he has been spoiled since he was a child, so he always thinks that things in this world should be left to himself.

Not to mention her.

Let's go back and talk about Jiao Shun.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to stay in the palace, so he left Xihuamen before the sun went down.

When he returned to Rongguo Mansion, he once thought about going to Lian Wang's wife to settle Lin Daiyu's matter earlier.

But after thinking about it again, it's not beautiful to be in such a hurry, and it's easy to hurt Xue Baoqin's heart-although a decision has been made, Jiao still can't let go of thinking about it.

It's better to wait for Xue Baoqin to take the initiative to mention this matter, and then appear on the stage as a savior...

After thinking about it, he simply hid it from Xing Xiuyan first.

It's just that when she went to tease her daughter in the south room, Xing Xiuyan seemed hesitant to speak.

Jiao Shun wondered, "What's the matter? What else is there to hide from me?"

"I don't want to hide it from my father."

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly explained: "I'm afraid that speaking out will cause trouble to the Lord."

"Say."

"I went to Sister Lin's place today, and I heard Xueyan say by chance that Second Mistress had dreamed of Miaoyu one after another in the past few days, and because she couldn't bear the disturbance, the special agent let out a word, saying that she wanted to see people alive and dead."

After a pause, he added: "Besides, I heard news from Xue's sister that Miaoyu is no longer in Zijin Street—so I am a little worried that something happened to her."

It turned out to be for this matter.

Miao Yu's whereabouts, I'm afraid no one knows better than Jiao Shun.

What he was more concerned about was that Wang Xifeng was still willing to act according to the original plan when he was furious. It seemed that Feng Lazi would not give in at all.

He was secretly proud, but Jiao Shun said with a smile on the surface: "What am I doing, don't worry, I will try to find out for you tomorrow, and if I get news about Miaoyu, I will take you there to have a look."

Before taking down Miaoyu, Jiao Shun didn't dare to bring Xing Xiuyan over because he was worried that what he had done would reveal his secrets.

But now that fake nun has been dragged down to Slaanesh Hell, she will definitely try her best to cover up in front of Xing Xiuyan her disposition of sacrificing face and suffering—just be careful not to let Xing Xiuyan have more contact with the nuns in that temple.

…………

At the same time, in Jia Mu's courtyard.

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to wait for the opportunity to mention Lin Daiyu's life-long events, but she didn't want to just lay the groundwork for some trivial matters at home when the old lady suddenly asked about Wang Xifeng's seizure of power.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly got up and replied: "My daughter-in-law also sees the enthusiasm of the people below, and she is sick again, and temporarily letting the third girl take care of the housework for her is actually for her own good..."

This is the same as what Aunt Xue said perfunctorily back then, but Mother Jia is really easy to fool?

When he interrupted her with a wave of his hand, he said with a straight face: "What you said is just to coax Baoyu. Tell me the truth about what you think."

"This……"

Mrs. Wang hesitated for a while, and then said with seven points of truth and three points of falsehood: "Young girl Feng has been really out of shape recently, and Nuo Da's family business in the mansion has been made beyond her means. She is the most proficient in things, why not wait through the door and let her try to fill up the shortfall in the mansion first..."

"What about Feng girl?"

Jia Mu asked immediately.

Mrs. Wang has already said something about this: "Let Feng girl take a rest first, you know that she has been busy with the affairs of the mansion these years, and she doesn't even have time to take care of her own small house. There was a quarrel, and the two have been separated for more than a year! No matter how majestic this woman's family is outside, what's the point of making trouble at home?"

As he said that, he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief while complaining about himself, as if pushing himself and others.

"Ah~"

Seeing this, the old lady couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

As for the second son and daughter-in-law, she originally had the intention of persuading them to reconcile, but later she found out that Jia Zhengshi was ruined by those tiger and wolf medicines, so she gave up the idea of ​​reuniting the two - after all, a corner was missing , or the most important 'corner', no matter how it is, it cannot be rounded.

Besides, she also knew the temper of the second son, he was the most face-saving person, and he would definitely not want others to know his true status quo.

Thinking about it this way, Mother Jia couldn't help feeling a little more caring and considerate for her second daughter-in-law. Besides, although Wang Xifeng was favored by her, she couldn't surpass Baoyu anyway.

So he shook his head helplessly and said: "Forget it, forget it, I don't bother to ask about the family's affairs, you must comfort Feng girl, and don't let her be wronged."

Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that her mother-in-law was not interested, so she wisely didn't mention Lin Daiyu's marriage again.
