The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 579

[After 12:[-], there are still two thousand+]

It's evening, Ministry of Industry.

Laiwang, who had been working on the public accounts for half a day, came to the stable near the corner gate a little tired, and was about to board his mule cart when he suddenly heard the shout of Shuanzhu not far away.

But didn't Shuanzhu follow his son to the palace in the afternoon, why did he appear in the Ministry of Industry at this time?

He turned around suspiciously, and saw Jiao Shunli jumping out of the carriage, striding towards this side.

"how?"

Laiwang wondered: "You still come to the Yamen at this time, don't you have some important business?"

"Not at all."

Jiao Shun explained with a smile: "I just came here to get some things, and by the way, I can go home with Dad."

"Oh."

Laiwang nodded, and then asked again: "How is it, has the emperor approved your resignation today?"

This so-called resignation is actually to resign from the temporary overseer dispatch in the palace.

Previously, it was because the emperor mistakenly thought that with the help of the power of thunder and lightning, he could create a weapon that would overwhelm the country and the city. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Jiao Shun naturally hopes that the task of supervising the construction of the 'spectacle' can be transferred to the Ministry of Industry.

Firstly, it was because of the inconvenience in the palace, and secondly, since he chose to expose his ugliness, he must have the consciousness of being under suspicion, and the farther away from the emperor's harem, the better, so as not to cause the emperor's misunderstanding.

However, the letter of resignation was handed to the emperor, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and no news was sent back.

Hearing what his son said, Lai Wang couldn't help but frowned, but he still comforted him and said, "Perhaps it's because His Majesty has other arrangements."

"Maybe."

As the father and son were talking, they saw a small official leading two handymen running up to them in small steps, nodded and bowed to accompany him with a smile: "I kept you waiting for a long time, this is something made on the stove according to your instructions. You see, it still works."

As he spoke, he motioned to the handyman behind him, and presented a small thermos jar to Jiao Shun with both hands.

Jiao Shun unscrewed the lid, and suddenly a sweet and rich hot air came out, and he stirred the bottom with the thin hollow bamboo tube in the jar, and saw small crystal clear balls surging up.

Laiwang came over and sniffled, wondering, "What the hell is this?"

"Pearl milk tea."

Jiao Shun casually said: "I'm used to drinking iced sour plum soup in summer, but I can't drink it now, and I always feel that the taste is missing, so I asked someone to make some hot drinks. Besides, isn't this what you eat?"

Saying that, he stuffed the small pot to his old man: "This small pot is for my mother."

Lai Wang saw that the handymen still had two large thermos buckets, so he was not polite, and handed them to Shuan Zhu, complaining: "That's why you came here? Even if you want to get it, You can just let us do it on the stove, why bother in the Yamen..."

"No trouble, no trouble!"

Seeing this, the little official hurriedly said: "This is what we should do, not to mention Mr. Jiao also paid for the materials. Speaking of which, the cooks on the stove are happy to earn some extra money."

Jiao Shun also explained: "There are some things that are not readily available in the market. I always ask people to prepare them. It took me two or three days. If we make them on the stove at home, we don't know when."

Laiwang just complained casually, and saw that his son's misappropriation of money was not considered greedy for the public's advantage, so he didn't say anything more.

So the father and son got into the carriage and left the Ministry of Industry to drive home.

Speechless all the way.

When they got home, Jiao Shun asked Shuan Zhu to eat by himself, and walked into the east chamber with a thermos bucket in one hand.

Yu Chuan, who was cleaning the table absent-mindedly, saw it, and couldn't help wondering: "What is this, why did Lord Lao bring it in himself?"

With that said, I will go forward to pick it up.

But Jiao Shun only gave her one, and said: "Send it to the stove for storage first."

Yu Chuan didn't know, so he carried it away.

At this time Xing Xiuyan and Siqi also came out from the inner room, Jiao Shun ordered Siqi to fetch two teacups, and greeted him like offering treasures: "You all have a taste and see how the pearl milk tea made by the master tastes."

Xing Xiuyan had heard this matter from him two days earlier, so it was not surprising that he immediately asked Siqi to fill it up with a spoon, and under Jiao Shun's persuasion, he used a hollow bamboo tube to suck it.

At the beginning, it was only sweet and slightly greasy, but then the Q bomb pearls that fell into the mouth quickly diluted the excessive sweetness and made the taste more layered.

Teenage girls, even if they are already mothers, who doesn't like sweet drinks?

Especially this is a fresh thing carefully concocted by my husband, even plain water tastes as sweet as honey, not to mention that the imitation made by Jiao Shun has almost [-]% of the charm of the original version.

So I wanted to taste Xing Xiuyan first, but I drank half a cup unconsciously.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun was busy and attentive to refill it for her, he laughed and said: "Drink more if you like, it will not be in vain for me to work hard."

Xing Xiuyan was grateful for his kindness, so naturally she would not refuse, so she finished the cup again, seeing that Jiao Shun wanted to add more, she quickly covered the mouth of the cup with her hands and said, "Enough is enough, if I drink again, I can drink it later. I can't even eat dinner."

"Then don't rush to eat."

Jiao Shun took advantage of the opportunity to sit aside, and said seriously: "Haven't you been thinking about that wonderful jade? Now that we know that she lives in the Muni courtyard in the south of the city, we might as well pay a visit at night."

Then, he pointed to the milk tea and said: "It may take some time on the road, if it's too late to go after dinner, let's make up for it at will, and eat when we come back."

After finishing speaking, he motioned to Siqi to give her a full hand.

Hearing that he was going to see Miaoyu in a while, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but drink another glass of snacks without thinking too much.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun secretly heaved a sigh of relief, so he went to the main room to inform his parents, and then took Xing Xiuyan, Siqi, and Xiangling by car to the Muni Courtyard in the south of the city.

In the car, Jiao Shun teased Xing Xiuyan again, recalling the past, just talking, she frowned unconsciously, and from time to time quietly rubbed her lower abdomen with her hands.

Jiao Shun clearly saw it, but pretended not to notice it, and continued to chat with her.

Wait until the Muni courtyard.

Jiao Shun quickly jumped out of the car, and while ordering Shuan Zhu to knock on the door, he fetched the ladder and put it at the rear of the car, but saw Xing Xiuyan get up with some difficulty, and when he climbed down the steps, he showed a little stooped state.

"what happened?"

Now it's not easy for him to pretend to turn a blind eye, and immediately took over from Xiang Ling to support Xing Xiuyan, and asked with concern knowingly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Xing Xiuyan shook her head slightly, and immediately looked at the temple door that had just been opened.

At this time, two nuns, one fat and one thin, came out to welcome them, and asked pretendingly: "Dare to ask why the benefactor came here overnight?"

With his hands on his hips, Shuan Zhu replied in a loud voice: "My aunt and your hostess are old friends, and she came to visit you specially today, so please pass it on as soon as possible."

When the fat and thin nun heard this, she immediately assigned one person to report, and the other led them into the temple courteously, but as a result, no one was seen along the way until they entered the Daxiong Palace.

Normally, it would probably cause people to be suspicious, but Xing Xiuyan was obviously unwell, and Siqi and Xiangling were all focused on her, so naturally they had no time to think about it.

With the effort of front and rear feet, not long after Jiao Shun and Xing Xiuyan entered the hall, Miaoyu, whose demeanor became colder, led the fat nun and Jingyi to meet the guests.

"elder sister."

After reuniting after a long absence, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help being shaken, gently pushed Siqi and Xiangling away, stepped forward two steps and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, sister, are you okay?"

Hearing the concern in her words, Miaoyu almost couldn't help telling the truth for a while, but when the words came to her lips, they turned into indifferent words in the end: "Leaving that Vanity Fair and right and wrong den, I am clean, carefree and diligent. Buddha Dharma, naturally all diseases will not invade and all harms will not arise."

The reason why she refused to reveal the truth was because she felt that Xing Xiuyan was just a concubine after all, and she didn't even have the qualifications to take the initiative to divorce, so what if she knew all kinds of bad deeds of Jiao Shun?
Next time...

Originally, she had always been superior to Xing Xiuyan in terms of family background, talent and learning. Later, when she learned that Xing Xiuyan had become a concubine, she felt that she was superior and was ashamed of her, and she even ridiculed her face to face.

Now how could she have the nerve to admit that she had actually become an even more unbearable and worthless private pet?
With such a mentality, Miaoyu not only tried her best to cover up the truth in front of Xing Xiuyan, but even improvised the lie that she bought this monastery at a premium because she didn't want to depend on others.

Speaking of this, she folded her palms together without sadness or joy, and she was like a nobleman.

Xing Xiuyan believed it to be true, and knew Miaoyu's temperament, so she didn't feel disobedient about this attitude. Instead, she was really happy that Miaoyu could have a stable place to practice.

only……

After saying a few words, Xing Xiuyan felt the pain in her stomach was unbearable, she couldn't help but said in a shy voice: "Sister, is there any convenient place nearby?"

Miao Yuqiong, who was neither sad nor happy, raised her nose slightly, showing an undisguised expression of disgust, turned her head and said: "Take her."

The fat and thin nun took the order, and hurriedly rushed to the toilet in the temple with Xing Xiuyan, Siqi, and Xiangling.

Miaoyu maintained a disgusted expression, just as she watched their backs disappear around the corner, she suddenly felt a tightness behind her, and immediately Jiao Shun's playful voice came from her ear: "You are quite talented in acting, wait for me next time, Just keep that look on your face."

Miaoyu's face was filled with embarrassment and anger for a moment, but it quickly turned into a low-brow and pleasing obedience. Not only did she respectfully say yes, but she also tiptoed and pouted her hips flatteringly.

"Tsk~"

But Jiao Shun let go, shook his head and said, "I still prefer your rebellious appearance."

Then he said, "I'll go and have a look too."

Then he left the two masters and servants behind and quickly chased them out.

So when Xing Xiuyan came out of the latrine, he bumped into Jiao Shun who was looking anxious and whirling around, and couldn't help but stepped forward and apologized: "The concubine is useless, let the master follow..."

"Say what to do."

Jiao Shun waved his hand and asked with concern: "How do you feel now, do you want to see a doctor?"

Xing Xiuyan shook her head quickly, rubbing her lower abdomen to express that she was much better.

Jiao Shun still seemed uneasy, hesitated for a while, and said decisively: "Then let's go back first, and come back when we have a chance next time."

Saying that, without waiting for Xing Xiuyan to answer, she blamed herself half-truthfully, "It's all my fault for making you drink so much milk tea. I think it's probably because of this thing that caused you..."

"Not necessarily so."

Seeing that he was full of self-blame, Xing Xiuyan quickly comforted him: "In fact, I had some abdominal pain in the afternoon, and it should have nothing to do with the milk tea brought back by my master."

After this interruption, she couldn't talk about staying on by force, and she was relieved to see Miaoyu safe and sound.

So after returning to the main hall, he took the initiative to say goodbye and made an appointment to visit again in the future.

But when he returned to the carriage with Xing Xiuyan in his arms, Jiao Shun's heart was completely put back in his stomach.

Xing Xiuyan's sudden abdominal pain was naturally not an accident, but he had planned it two or three days ago.

It's also because he didn't think carefully enough at the beginning, he was so concerned about taking down the fake nun Miaoyu, and by the way, creating favorable conditions for the future meeting with people, but ignoring Xing Xiuyan's concern for Miaoyu.

When you discover this, it will be troublesome to make up for it.

After all, the nuns in this temple are not professional actors. With Xing Xiuyan's intelligence, it is not difficult to find the problem if he is more careful, and then deduces that it is not the first time for Jiao to come to the house-although this does not mean that Xing Xiuyan will do something, but Jiao Shun still didn't want her to notice that he was doing something secretly.

So after thinking about it, I set up today's situation.

In the can of milk tea that Xing Xiuyan drank in advance, he mixed some medicinal powder for clearing the intestines and eliminating fire. There will be any sequelae before using this powder.

Then he deliberately chose to come at night, and the result was exactly as he expected. Xing Xiuyan forced himself into the temple, but because of his physical discomfort, he neither noticed what was wrong nor had a conversation with Miaoyu. In-depth conversation.

Anyway...

This catastrophe was barely fooled.

When I come back next time, even if those nuns show their feet, they can get away with it by not coming to the door for the first time.

On the way home, Jiao, who was rarely disturbed by his conscience, was so attentive, he couldn't help feeling sour while watching the chess game.

When they got home, Jiao Shun personally helped Xing Xiuyan out of the car, and was about to go to the east wing when he heard Wang come down from the corridor of the hall and greet him: "Brother Shun, come here."

Before Jiao Shun could reply, Xing Xiuyan hurriedly broke away and whispered: "Master's business is important."

Saying that, he bowed and rushed to Wang to wish him a blessing, and led Siqi and Xiangling back to the East Chamber.

Watching her enter the door, Jiao Shun followed his father into the main room, but as soon as he entered the door, he heard Lai Wang say solemnly: "Something serious happened!"

Jiao Shun was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Although I said that I went out for a trip, but it was less than an hour before and after, how could this be a big deal?
However, Lai Wang carefully locked the door behind him first, and then said mysteriously under his voice: "Just now, Zhao'er, who is next to the second master, came to the door and told me something strange!"

After a pause, he added: "It's something strange about Second Mistress!"
