The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 593
Sure enough, as Jiao expected, the account book was handed over to his father, but within half a day, more than a dozen flaws were picked out.

So he used the name of Tanchun to point out some of the most important things to Wang Xifeng, saying that the third girl is definitely not an ungrateful person, and she would have paid her back in secret - otherwise, these things might have been stabbed to Mrs. Wang and the old lady. understood.

Wang Xifeng naturally understood the threat implied in these words.

Immediately, the anger was about to explode, but Jiao Shun suppressed it single-handedly, and it was difficult for him to walk or sit or lie down for two consecutive days, so he vented his anger for a while.

Not to mention this, in a blink of an eye it was the day of starting the club.

Early in the morning, Jia Baoyu sighed in the Yihong Courtyard after eagerly seeing off the sisters.

In the past, apart from Xiangyun and Tanchun, when starting a society, it was others who were addicted to vegetables and were the most active, but now because of the princess of Nan'an, he was excluded from the poetry society. What is holding back is five spines and six beasts.

Seeing him like this, Xiren advised him to walk around to relax.

But Baoyu shook his head like a rattle, saying that now that the cold wind is blowing and the world is devastated, and there is no auspicious snow to enjoy, no matter how much you go shopping, it will only increase your sorrow.

Musk Moon said again, saying why not call the people in the yard together to play cards.

Baoyu was a little moved, but was stopped by the attacker again.

Now that Qiuwen just died, and Qingwen's previous vacancy has not been filled, at least a new big maid should be elected in Yihong Courtyard. Right now, those little girls are all red-eyed and eager to fight, so there is no chance. I have to sharpen my head and drill around Baoyu. If I create opportunities for them out of thin air, I don't know what disaster will happen.

When Musk Moon heard this, she hurriedly took back her own idea—although she was saddened by Qiuwen's death, she was also happy to have more favors. How could she push someone to the top at this juncture?

Baoyu became more and more upset when two ideas failed in succession.

He got up and paced back and forth for a few steps, suddenly felt something, and chanted: "Today..."

"Second Master, Second Master!"

I didn't want to just get up, when I saw a servant woman barging in yelling.

Baoyu's momentum froze, and he forgot all the poems that had come to his lips. He flicked his sleeves angrily and scolded: "Disappointing, really disappointing!"

The servant woman was very happy, she didn't want to enter the door with a hot face, so she put a cold butt on her face, and she was embarrassed at the moment, not knowing what to do.

Xiren had no choice but to come forward and say: "Mom is so ignorant, why didn't she wait for us to report?"

"Then what..."

The maid rubbed her hands and said with a smile: "It's really great news, I'm also happy for the second master, so I forgot the rules for a while."

"What good news?"

Jia Baoyu also became interested, fiddled with the red crown tied around his neck and asked.

"It's really great news!"

Speaking of this news, the servant woman immediately became elated again, knocked her head on the ground, and said loudly: "Congratulations to Second Master, Hexi Second Master, you are now an official!"

"Official?"

The expression on Baoyu's face froze, showing no trace of joy.

On the other hand, Xiren and Sheyue, who were at the side, had bright eyes, grabbed the servant from left to right and asked, "Really? Mom, don't fool us?!"

"How dare I!"

The maid gave a yell, and immediately pointed to the door: "My legs are fast, I guess the master will send someone to invite the second master soon."

Xiren recited Amitabha, then dragged her to ask: "But the official in the engineering school? What grade is it? What's the order?"

"I didn't know that, I knew that our second master became an official. This is really a great joy, a great joy!"

Seeing that she couldn't say that she was ugly and Yinmao, but just kept congratulating her, the attacker knew that this woman must have got wind of it, so she rushed to ask for a reward.

I had no choice but to take the excitement first and take a sling of money to her.

The servant girl was so grateful that she had just left on her front foot, when Jia Zheng sent someone on her back foot.

Xiren also didn't care about whether men and women would give or receive a kiss, so he grabbed the book boy and asked, "How many officials did the second master get?"

The book boy shook his five fingers and said excitedly: "From the seventh grade!"

The attacker is speechless, from the seventh rank, why are you shaking your five fingers?

But she didn't misunderstand at first, after all, Jiao Shun's Gong Xue Jijiu is only the fifth grade, and it is impossible for Baoyu to be equal to him as soon as he comes up.

"Why did you start from the seventh grade?"

Sheyue was a little dissatisfied at the side, and muttered: "Uncle Jiao is still at the seventh rank, let alone our master..."

"What nonsense! Can this be the same?"

Xiren hastily shoved her, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

Then he pulled Jia Baoyu, who was downcast, and told him to go to Jia Zheng's side, and don't be petty again: "Second Master is now a man with a family and a career, but he dare not be like before..."

"I can save it."

Jia Baoyu interrupted her impatiently, and followed the book boy sullenly.

Xiren chased him all the way to the gate of the courtyard, watched him go far away, and then returned to the main room in a state of disbelief.

When he entered the door and saw Sheyue was still pouting, he stepped forward and scolded angrily: "How can you say those words in front of outsiders? What will happen if they reach Uncle Jiao's ears?"

Sheyue was still a little unconvinced, and said with a pursed mouth: "Is it true? Our second master is the son of the Duke's mansion, and the younger brother of the imperial concubine, no matter which one should be..."

"How dare you talk nonsense!"

Angrily covered her mouth: "Second Ye is an official who has entrusted Uncle Jiao's blessing, and when he goes to engineering school, he has to take care of him. At this juncture, you have to lift Second Ye over to him Come on, don't you think it's easy for the second master to do it?"

Only then did Musk Moon stop.

Not to mention these trivialities.

However, when Jia Baoyu came to Rongxi Hall, he tried to raise his spirits, walked into the hall without looking sideways, and was about to pay respects to Jia Zheng, who was sitting on the main seat, when he saw Jiao Shun, who was at the top, out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but Dazed for a moment, he blurted out, "Brother Jiao? Why are you here?"

"evil creature!"

Jia Zheng scratched his beard and scolded, "Brother Jiao, of course, represents the Ministry of Industry and Engineering to send the official to sue!"

"what?"

Jia Baoyu was even more astonished: "This shouldn't be the job of a palace eunuch..."

Halfway through the talk, seeing my old man's complexion darken, he hurriedly changed his words: "Brother Jiao was appointed as an official, wasn't it just a father-in-law who came here?"

"Ignorant fool!"

Jia Zheng scolded again, and then said angrily: "Brother Jiao, the edict was simplified that time, which is a special case, so the eunuch in the palace came to pass the decree, and the official positions below the sixth rank are all there. The Yamen dispatched officials to announce the decree."

Speaking of this, he was actually a little bit proud. After all, his son was awarded an official through a formal process. In terms of procedural justice, he was better than Jiao Shun's special decree Jianba.

It's a pity that the imperial examination is not on the right track...

Jiao Shun laughed at the side and said, "Because I heard that I was going to report to brother Bao, I rushed to come here. If Brother Bao wants the eunuch to pass the decree, then I will take the things back first and entrust them tomorrow." Please acquaintance father-in-law to run."

"Don't joke with him."

Jia Zheng quickly waved his hands, and said earnestly: "In the future, I want you to take care of this wicked son. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. If he makes mistakes, you can just beat and scold him!"

This elder brother is like a father's rhetoric, it is really...

Jiao Shun laughed, and said: "Uncle Shi is serious. Brother Bao has always been extremely intelligent, but if you put in some thought, you will be safe in your career."

As he spoke, he stood up and said, "Although they are all from my own family, we still have to go through the official procedures that should be followed."

Immediately, he took out a cabinet draft stamped with imperial treasures, and said to Baoyu who was hesitating whether to kneel down: "Your brother can just bow and stand in silence."

Only then did Baoyu bow his hands.

I heard Jiao Shun talk a lot in a cadence, praising some glorious deeds that Jia Baoyu didn't know, and finally revealed his official position: from Qipin engineering experience.

After reading these long-winded things, Jiao Shun picked up a tray from the table and handed it to Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu was reluctant, but he had no choice but to respectfully accept it in his hand. He looked up, but saw that there was a booklet in the middle of the tray, and there was half a printed letter besides it.

Jiao Shun explained again: "This is only a temporary certificate. The real official certificate will not be issued until you report to the Ministry of Officials and perform your duties at the Ministry of Industry."

Baoyu answered listlessly.

Jiao Shun was about to tell him what kind of errands this engineering student was responsible for, when suddenly he heard footsteps approaching outside, followed by Jia Mu leading the way, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, and Jia Lian all filed in.

"Baoyu, Baoyu!"

With tears in the corners of the old lady's eyes, she grabbed her precious grandson's hand as soon as she entered the door and refused to let go. She looked up and down, and said: "Okay, okay, when you put on the official robe, you will look more like your grandpa."

Jia Zheng was a little bit jealous of his son, and couldn't help muttering: "Father is a python robe bestowed by a first-class prince, and he grew up with seventh grade..."

Before he finished speaking, the old lady glared at her and quickly shut her mouth obediently.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help wiping her tears from the sidelines. She naturally knew who had done the most in this matter. Seeing her son being bullied by her mother-in-law, her watery eyes fell on Jiao Shun.

Walking a few steps closer to Jiao Shun, he bowed deeply and said, "Changqing, this time Baoyu can enter the official career, thanks to a little advice from the side."

"Auntie is too serious, too serious."

Jiao Shun hurriedly avoided it, although last time at Xue's house, Mrs. Wang knelt in front of him for half an hour in order to win the game, but this was after all in front of people, so he naturally had to show a look of sincerity and fear .

"Thank you so much, brother Shun!"

Mother Jia also turned to Jiao Shun when she heard the words. At first she didn't care much about Jiao Shun, and even got angry at one point because of the scandal between Jiao Shun and Yingchun. It must be the blessing of the ancestors to have such a character in the movie, and I can't see the family declining day by day.

Jiao Shun had no choice but to say a few more polite words.

He originally planned to return to the Yamen to hand over his errands after the reading, but how could Jia Zheng be willing to let him go?
Immediately, he ordered a large banquet, and invited the eastern and western prefectures, as well as relatives from close branches, to celebrate.

Mrs. Wang followed closely and ordered that the entire family should be rewarded.

The old lady wanted to take Baoyu to the ancestral hall to comfort the spirits of the ancestors in heaven—in fact, an official position from the seventh rank would not make Rongguo Mansion so excited, the main reason is that Jia Baoyu finally stepped on the right path from now on.

Wang Xifeng was listening in, her pretty phoenix eyes were rolling around, and she secretly contacted her cronies and buddies when she turned around, planning to take advantage of this opportunity to create a big deficit, and let's see how Tanchun will settle the account when she comes back!

After being happy for a while, Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered that she should have informed Xue's family about this matter earlier, so she hurriedly sent someone to report to Zijin Street.

When the news came, it happened that the two sisters Baochai and Baoqin had just returned from the palace.

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's mother and daughter were all overjoyed when they heard that Baoyu had become an official, especially Baochai. What she was most worried about now was that Baoyu would not go on the right path in the future. The clouds are all gone.

Just looking at his mother and sister, they all looked like Amitabha thanking God, but Xue Pan couldn't help feeling sour, and hummed with his neck stuck: "Brother Bao is able to be an official this time, isn't it because of Brother Jiao? If I have this Thinking, ask brother Jiao for help, isn't it easy to get an official?"

Hearing what he said, Aunt Xue was a little moved.

There are not many imperial merchants who hold official positions. For example, my husband who died young had a sixth-rank official status-of course, it is just a vacant position.

If the son can also have an official position, no matter what he does in the future, it will be much more convenient. After all, he can't always act in the name of the Taiwei's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion.

but……

She was also worried that it would cause trouble for Jiao Shun - it was fine when there was not so much involvement, the more she had that relationship, the less she wanted to mix impurities between the two of them.

Fortunately, Baochai solved her dilemma in time, shaking her head and said: "Brother, you should calm down, your temper is really not suitable for being an official, if you have to be an official, you must definitely not be an official in Beijing."

"Is Baoyu's temper suitable for being an official? I don't think he may..."

Seeing that his sister was not optimistic about him, Xue Pan became more and more unhappy. Before he could criticize him, Aunt Xue hurriedly scolded: "What are you talking about? Isn't it a good thing for your brother to be an official?"

As he spoke, he asked him to bring a gift to the Rongguo Mansion to congratulate him.

Baochai was busy at the side and added: "Brother might as well bring more manpower and vehicles, and don't rush back at night. When brother Jiao moves tomorrow, brother can help out a little bit."

"Extremely great!"

Hearing this, Xue Pan suddenly realized, and said with a grin: "I'm still worried about how I can get ahead of Brother Feng and Mr. Wei. This time, none of them can catch me!"

Saying that, without waiting for Aunt Xue's order, she went excitedly.

"This child is about to get married, but he's not ready yet."

Aunt Xue was shaking her head, Baochai reminded again: "Mom, don't forget to go to Jiao's house tomorrow, after all, when we moved here, it was the aunt who was here to make arrangements."

"This……"

Hearing the word Laijia Auntie, Aunt Xue's face became hot for no reason, she nodded slowly and said: "That's right, then tomorrow I, I will also go to help Zhang Luo Zhang Luo."

Baochai didn't pay attention at first, but when she heard her mother's words stumbled a bit, she turned her head in surprise, only to find that her mother's complexion was different, and she couldn't help wondering: "What's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing!"

Aunt Xue hurriedly perfunctory: "I just thought about what your brother said just now, and hesitated whether to ask brother Shun for help and find him an errand—but forget it, so as not to bring trouble to the family."

At the same time, she secretly twitched in her heart: the last time I met Mrs. Xu, we were still sisters, but this time we will see each other again...
