The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 581

Jiao Shun pondered for two days in a row, but he couldn't come up with a perfect solution - there are many ways, but they always have to be done in one direction. This blindly greedy and seeking perfection, the difficulty naturally increases exponentially.

Until the ninth day of October.

Even though he hadn't come up with an idea yet, Jiao Shun could only suppress the entanglement in his heart, took a half-day leave, and rushed to Xue's house to check the specific process of monthly postings - it must be a leave in the morning, although the serious errands in the yamen are more serious. There are many, but he can still weigh clearly which is lighter and which is heavier inside and outside the palace.

So just after the hour of the day, Jiao Shun hurried to Xue's old house on Zijin Street.

Because the news had been reported earlier, the two brothers Xue Pan and Xue Biao opened the middle door wide and stood side by side at the bottom of the steps for a long time.

Jiao Shunli jumped out of the car, bowed his hands to the two of them, and teased Xue Pan with a smile: "Brother Wenlong's complexion has become better recently, it seems that people are in good spirits on happy occasions."

"Hehe~"

Xue Pan scratched the back of his head and said with a foolish smile, "It's indeed a happy event. I just took the money from the nobleman in Jinxiangyuan yesterday..."

"cough!"

Xue Biao hurriedly interrupted his cousin's "heroic deeds" with a light cough, and stretched out his hand to make way: "Auntie has been waiting in the front hall for a long time, please ask Brother Jiao to move forward."

Jiao Shun glanced at Xue Pan speechlessly, thinking that he was about to get married, but he was still so careless, it seemed that he would inevitably have to worry about it in the future.

Following the brothers of the Xue family, they entered through the main entrance, walked across the courtyard to the left of the living room, and saw Aunt Xue, whom they hadn't seen for several days, standing on the porch, smiling leisurely at herself, because the auspicious day was approaching, she specially wore a pair of apricot clothes today. A long red dress, and a scarlet shawl hanging from both shoulders.

If this outfit was worn by ordinary women, it would probably look very vulgar, but it complemented each other perfectly when worn on Aunt Xue, and it further brought out the grace and dignity of a noble lady.

It's just that the moment she met Jiao Shun's eyes, some blush unconsciously appeared on her elegant and delicate face, and in an instant, she changed from dignified and elegant to shy and charming. It was deeply imprinted in Jiao's heart.

Speaking of...

Her half-brother Mrs. Wang can also perform this 'face-changing' stunt, but the difference between Mrs. Wang's light and dark faces is greater. To use a more professional term to describe it, it is roughly: collapse.

After all, it was in front of people, the shyness on Aunt Xue's face disappeared in a flash, and Jiao Shun quickly restrained his divergent thoughts, bowed and said: "I have met Auntie."

"Why should my family be polite?"

Aunt Xue was talking about her family, but she unconsciously recalled the scene of rubbing hands together in the ear room, she felt her cheeks were hot for a moment, she was afraid that people would see her flaws, so she turned halfway and said: "Speak inside, talk inside. "

After the guests and hosts were seated in the living room, she suppressed the shame in her heart, and said with all her strength, "The matter of posting the monthly post tomorrow is entirely up to you, Brother Shun."

"Little nephew should do his best."

Jiao Shun said, then looked down at Xue Biao: "Besides, there are brothers Xue Biao here? If there is anything wrong, you can definitely point it out to me then."

"Brother Jiao was joking."

Xue Biao shook his head with a smile: "The Xia family heard that it was Big Brother Jiao who came forward, and they are afraid that they will be rude in front of you, so there is still a reason to pick us?"

"No!"

Xue Pan who was sitting opposite also followed closely: "I heard that her family hired a troupe to sing a model opera tomorrow for you."

"Yo~"

Just as I was talking about this, I heard someone outside laughing and said: "This opera is rare outside. I want to order it when I celebrate my birthday. However, several opera troupes and even the little opera singers at home can't sing."

Before the words were finished, a young woman with red make-up and a beautiful crown stepped in, but who else could it be if she wasn't used to Wang Xifeng who was used to arriving before people heard her?

Ever since she was deprived of power, she has put more and more thought into dressing up. She is dressed in silk and satin and matched with the head jewelry that Jiao Shun bought earlier, she looks extravagant and oppressive.

When she entered the door, she raised her sharp chin first, looked at Jiao Shun through her nostrils, and then smiled at Aunt Xue who was in the main seat: "Auntie, why don't I follow to learn more tomorrow, anyway, I'm bored There's nothing to do at home."

"I want you to relax and relax, so I deliberately didn't arrange work for you."

Aunt Xue waved to her with a smile, and when she came closer, she took her hand again and said, "If you really can't take it easy, then I'll tell your sister tomorrow that I will ask about all the big and small things in the family first." You make a decision again, it’s all over, right?”

"I dare not steal my sister's errands."

As Wang Xifeng said, he took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside Aunt Xue, looked down at Jiao Shun and said, "It's just that this monkey, who used to be careless in front of me a few years ago, is now acting like a human being. gone."

"Don't dare."

Jiao Shun smiled and waved his hands: "It's all because of the second grandma's training, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today."

"Look!"

Wang Xifeng pointed her finger, looked back at Aunt Xue and said, "With just this clever mouth, I'm sure you won't be wrong tomorrow!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

But Xue Biao was afraid that Wang Xifeng would overwhelm the host, and would keep talking about the past, making Jiao Shun unhappy, so after laughing, he immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, Brother Jiao, I just saw your servants come in with a load, this book Just to help us, we haven't offered a thank you gift yet, why did you rewind something?"

When Aunt Xue heard the words, she hurriedly said that it shouldn't be like this, and asked Jiao Shun to take back the things she brought back as they were.

Jiao Shun waved his hands and said with a smile: "Didn't Auntie give me the gift a long time ago?"

Aunt Xue's face immediately became hot when she heard the words, but she heard Jiao Shun continue to say: "If you hadn't helped me to intercede, I'm afraid I would have died under the family law."

"Yo~"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows: "Are you picking on me?"

"How dare you."

Jiao Shun laughed, and then said: "Besides, it's not a serious gift, it's a drink I made recently, and I asked Mrs. Xing to send it to the Grand View Garden for the girls to taste. It has a good reputation. I brought two barrels and gave it to my aunt, second grandmother and younger sisters to taste."

"Then I should open my eyes."

Wang Xifeng rushed to give an order, and immediately a servant girl took the order and left, and came in with two cups of hot milk tea after a while.

At this time, Jiao Shun was checking with Xue Biao about Minger's procedure.

In fact, there is nothing to say. Apart from handing over the marriage certificate and the wedding money with great symbolic and practical significance to the woman, it is to follow the old practice to ask the woman what extra requirements she has when getting married.

Then, the host and guest had a good time, and they came back to return to their lives.

Just as he was talking, Wang Xifeng stood up suddenly and said, "This stuff is good, but if you drink too much, you will get bloated..."

Subconsciously, Jiao Shun turned his head to look, thinking that he didn't take any medicine today?
I saw Wang Xifeng apologizing to Aunt Xue who was holding milk tea, and walking out on her own, just as abruptly as she was.

However, just as he stepped in and out of the door, Wang Xifeng suddenly turned his head to look at Jiao Shun, and said without hesitation: "Brother Shun, come out after the discussion is over, I have something to discuss with you."

tsk~
I knew this woman would not leave the stage obediently.

In front of everyone, Jiao Shun could only nod in response.

So after checking the process with Xue Biao, he got up and smiled wryly, "Auntie, two brothers, I'll go outside to see what Second Grandma has ordered."

Xue Pan murmured dissatisfied when he heard the words: "Brother, you are not Sister Feng's slave now, why should you listen to her beckoning..."

"Wenlong!"

Aunt Xue stopped her son from drinking, got up and said to Jiao Shun: "She is in a bad mood recently, you should take care of everything."

It's not that she favors Wang Xifeng, but she feels that she is closer to Jiao Shun than her niece.

Jiao Shun respectfully responded, and then left the living room alone.

When he got outside, he saw Ping'er standing guard in front of a rockery. Seeing him looking over, he immediately raised his hand and pointed to the back of the rockery.

tsk~
This phoenix pepper is really bold!
Jiao Shun walked around behind the rockery, and saw Wang Xifeng was facing away from him, holding a withered willow branch in a daze.

"Second grandma?"

He let out a low cry, and Wang Xifeng regained his composure. He let go of the willow branches and turned around and asked, "When are you going to the Muni Court?"

Jiao Shun was taken aback when he heard this.

Although this phoenix pepper also eats the marrow and knows its taste, it is not as completely addicted to it as Mrs. Wang. In her eyes, interests are always the first.

Now at this juncture, she is not busy planning the 'Return of the King' drama, but took the risk to find herself and ask her when she is going to the Muni Academy...

I'm afraid there is something strange about it!
Since he was suspicious, Jiao Shun naturally refused to follow Wang Xifeng's train of thought, and immediately said with a smile: "If Second Mistress misses me, we can meet up at the old place later. I haven't moved out yet, so why bother to look far away?" ?”

"I'm not at home these days!"

Wang Xifeng's voice suddenly rose, but she quickly suppressed her emotions again, stared at Jiao Shun for a long time, then suddenly covered her mouth with a smile and said: "You have worked so hard to get this place, don't you want to try it?" Give it a try?"

While speaking, Fufeng Bailiu walked in front of Jiao Shun, wedged one leg between Jiao Shun's feet, and then slowly raised his toes, the wind from the beginning to the end pierced his bones in an instant.

Jiao Shun's anger was stirred by her, but he became more vigilant in his heart, because every time this woman puts on such a coquettish posture, she must have some ulterior motives, as she did when she entrapped Jia Rui, she asked herself to ask for help. The same is true for the benefits.

But why did she insist on going to the Muni Academy at this time?
Could it be that……

Was it that the plan didn't go well in Xue's house?
This really made Jiao Shun guess that since Wang Xifeng arrived at Xue's house, she has tried every means to get close to Xue Baochai. I still don't know the real purpose of Mrs. Wang.

So the closer Wang Xifeng showed, the more wary she became in private.

And even though Wang Xifeng was a little dizzy, but after a long time, he realized that something was wrong, and couldn't help secretly regretting that he should have acted too hastily.

But it's just a few days of work, if you don't pave the way as soon as possible, how can you have time to do it when you wait until the tenth day?
However, at this point in the matter, her previous plan can already be declared bankrupt-it would have been easy and convenient if she was still in the Rongguo Mansion, but now she is at the Xue family's home court, if she doesn't find a suitable opportunity, she will be forced to make it hand, in the end I'm afraid it will be difficult to get what I want.

Because of this reflection, Wang Xifeng suddenly thought of the Muni Academy.

Since yesterday, in front of Xue Baochai, I have been mentioning what I saw in the Muni Court from time to time, and lamented that Miaoyu seemed to have changed her face, maybe she had a great enlightenment, and truly comprehended the Dharma.

The purpose, of course, is to lure Xue Baochai to the Muni Court.

As for how to operate at that time...

In fact, Wang Xifeng hasn't thought about it yet, after all, she plotted against Xue Baochai, it was completely a delusional idea born of impulse, and it has nothing to do with planning and then acting.

But anyway, that is the Y Cave used by someone Jiao, so it will be much easier to get involved in it than in Xue's house.

But there is a key to this, that is, Jiao Shun must be present.

That's why she came to ask Jiao Shun when he planned to go to Muni Temple.

But she said that Jiao Shun had made up her mind, and naturally she was even more unwilling to take the bait, but she was also afraid that if she refused directly, she would annoy Wang Xifeng, so she would simply take the risk-although he, Jiao, had no bottom line, he was always sympathetic, so he didn't want to just watch Wang Xifeng He and Xue Baochai died together.

Hey~
It seems that we can only take care of one end first!

"Could it be that the second grandma is too angry?"

Jiao Shun retaliated furiously, while comfortingly said: "Actually, there are other ways to solve this matter, and it doesn't necessarily have to be to the point of turning against each other."

"Another solution?"

Wang Xifeng raised his head and looked at him suspiciously: "You don't mean to coax me, do you?"

"how come!"

Jiao Shun hugged her waist and said: "Actually, this method is very simple, four words are enough to sum it up."

Hearing that he didn't seem to be lying, Wang Xifeng became interested, and hurriedly asked: "Is it those four words?"

"depression to luck."

Jiao Shun said word by word.

"depression to luck?"

Wang Xifeng frowned, because of her money-greedy nature, she naturally didn't like these four words, but she still asked: "How do you explain this?"

"Grandma might as well think about it carefully. The reason why the second wife is eager to seize power is not only paving the way for Miss Xue, but also dissatisfaction with the emptiness of the treasury. This is one of the reasons for grandma's failure, but if it is handled properly, it can also turn into A bargaining chip."

Wang Xifeng frowned and pondered for a moment, then urged: "You might as well explain it more clearly!"

"To put it simply, if Rongguo Mansion's finances don't improve a lot, after several marriages are completed one after another next year, I'm afraid it will fall into a predicament of high debt. At this time, if Second Mistress is willing to help..."

Wang Xifeng couldn't help interjecting: "Where did I get the money?"

"Hey, the merchant ship going to Europa should be back by then."

Wang Xifeng frowned silently, his expression changed back and forth for a long time, and then he cursed suddenly: "Are you fooling a ghost? When the time comes, she will just ask Xue's family for help. Where can I be used?"

"Isn't there still me here?"

Jiao Shun puffed up his chest, and proudly said: "As long as I, Jiao, do some tricks, it will not be difficult to tie up the floating wealth of Xue and Xia's family, so that they can't spare any effort - at that time, it will all depend on whether Second Mistress is willing or not." Generously donated."
