The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 597 Big Faint 【Part [-]】

[At first I wanted to lay the groundwork and refine it, but after laying the groundwork for so long, I can't bear it anymore, let's get straight to the point. 】

Because of Jiao Shun's speech in front of the emperor, the lighthouse was finally demolished on the fifth day of February. Fatty Zhou felt relieved, and specially sent a pair of top-grade jade Ruyi as a congratulatory gift.

But he is not a special case, since Jiao Shun finished posting the monthly post in the first month, Jiao Shun has been soft on accepting gifts, and in terms of quality and quantity, he is above the Rongguo Mansion.

It was also fortunate that Jiao Shun kept a low profile on this and never revealed anything to the outside, otherwise it would be self-evident who was cold and who was hot.

During the various and not detailed.

But he said that it was February [-]th in a blink of an eye.

This morning, the brocade building was gloomy, not to mention Jia Yingchun, and even the few maids who were scheduled to marry over there were all in mourning.

In fact, a while ago, because Sun Shaozu came to the door repeatedly and brought some small gifts from time to time, the master and servants were optimistic for a while, thinking that although Sun Shaozu was vulgar and rude, he still had some sincerity towards the marriage.

Unexpectedly, when Sun Shaozu came to the house the day before yesterday, the elder Jia She forced himself to get up from his sick body, first pulled him to complain that the dowry was not generous enough, and then hinted that after Sun Shaozu got married, it would be best to return part of the dowry.

Faced with this shameless old man who wanted money, although Sun Shaozu didn't turn his face on the spot, he was also very angry when he left.

Because of this, the optimism in Zhuijin Building was wiped out.

So what if Sun Shaozu has some sincerity?With the elder's insatiable temper, sooner or later he will turn his in-laws into enemies!
Therefore, when the outside is full of joy, only the gloomy clouds inside the Zhuijin Building are gloomy.

Seeing the paper swallow folded by her girl absent-mindedly, it just flew out of the window and then landed on the ground, Xiu Ju opened her mouth to say a few words of relief.

But she, who had been pre-arranged not to marry as a dowry, is now treated like a different kind in this brocade building. Not to mention that Yingchun treats her with flat words, and even the little maids don't show good face to her, no matter how reasonable she is to explain it , in the ears of others, it is just standing and talking without back pain.

Therefore, after hesitating again and again, Xiuju still didn't open his mouth after all, only sighed secretly, and went downstairs to prepare some new tea.

Don't want to just lift the kettle, see Shi Xiangyun walk in through the curtain.

Compared with Jia Yingchun, who is frowning, Shi Xiangyun, who is also a bride to be married, has another look, with a red face and a smile like a flower, and the light blue pleated skirt on her body swings with brisk steps, as if she is floating in the sky .

Xiu Ju froze for a moment, quickly put down the spray and wiped her hands and asked, "Why is the girl here?"

"I'll ask my second sister to see Xihan'er."

Shi Xiangyun replied with a smile, then reached out and pointed to the second floor: "Second sister is upstairs?"

Xiuju nodded, and she lifted the hem of her skirt and ran upstairs.

"girl!"

Seeing this, Xiuju hurriedly reminded at the top of her voice, "Miss Shi is here!"

When Yingchun heard the words, she hurriedly got up to greet her, but when she saw Shi Xiangyun's cheerful and lively appearance, she couldn't help feeling sour, and her forced smile suddenly collapsed, and she just asked dryly, "Why is my sister here?"

"Master and servant, the question is the same."

Naturally, Shi Xiangyun saw that she was in a bad mood, so he directly stepped forward and took her hand and said, "I heard that a rare treasure came to the mansion, so I want to go and see it with my second sister."

"What rare treasure?"

"Sister, have you ever heard of the big sun glazed pagoda outside the Meridian Gate?"

This name was still given by the people who rushed to the exam.

Although Yingchun has been bored in the building for a while, she has heard about this important event that has been published in the newspaper, so she nodded slightly and hesitated: "I heard that it has been demolished a while ago, hasn't it?"

"Yes, if you don't dismantle it, how can you send it to this mansion? I've heard its name for a long time, but unfortunately I don't have the chance to see it. Now that it's at the door of our house, I should go and see it!"

As Shi Xiangyun said, he couldn't help saying that he dragged Yingchun and walked out.

Yingchun didn't want to go out at first, but she couldn't refuse, so she could only follow her out of the Jinlou with a bitter face.

When he was outside, Shi Xiangyun saw that the maids were all behind him, so he gathered up a few banknotes with his sleeves, stuffed them into Yingchun's palm, and said softly: "This is what I have saved in recent years, and most of them are entrusted to you." With Brother Jiao’s blessing, now it’s a gift to Buddha with flowers.”

"This……"

Without waiting for Yingchun to resign, she comforted her and said, "Although the Eldest Master is unbearable, fortunately my brother-in-law is an official in the Jinmen Mansion, and when my sister gets married, he will naturally be beyond his reach—you can bear it these few days, if you can't be forced , let’s top it off with these silvers first, as if it’s just spending money to buy something clean.”

"I……"

"Okay, sisters are waiting, let's go, let's see!"

With that said, he pulled up Yingchun and ran to Qinfang Bridge.

When they got to the Qinfang Bridge, they saw Tanchun and Xichun talking about each other, Shi Xiangyun stopped, panted slightly, and asked, "Where is Sister Lin?"

"She's not feeling well."

Although Lin Daiyu has already looked away, she is absolutely unwilling to praise the stinky foot of "Golden Jade Match".

But there is no need to point out these things. Tanchun casually said something perfunctory, and then joked with Xiangyun: "It's just that others are rushing to see the rarity. Brother Jiao's family also rewarded a set of this thing. When you get married, you still want to buy it." Don't you just look at it as you want?"

Without further ado, Shi Xiangyun went up to her and tickled her itch.

The two laughed and ran out of the garden, leaving behind Yingchun and Xichun who looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

At the same time, in Rongxi Hall.

Jia Zheng is entertaining Qiu Shi'an who came to present the award.

Qiu Shi'an took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Duke Cun Zhou, this person and things will be delivered to our family. After your son is married, the inner government will send someone to pick them up."

Having received this honor suddenly, Jia Zheng's face was flushed with joy, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "I'm too tired, father-in-law."

"correct."

Qiu Shi'an looked around and asked, "Why don't you see your son?"

"This……"

Jia Zheng stood up in embarrassment and said, "The dog is still on duty at the engineering school. If my father-in-law wants to see him, I will send someone..."

"No, no, business matters, business matters!"

Qiu Shi'an hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, then sighed in admiration: "Young master Jia is really young. When I went to Jiao's house just now, even Mr. Jiao asked for marriage leave early, but I don't think that young master Jia is still on duty in the yamen—it's rare, It's really rare!"

"My father-in-law is absurd, absurd."

Jia Zheng smiled more and more reluctantly. In fact, when Jia Baoyu first went to the engineering school to take up his post, he sent people to escort him there.

It was just that the marriage was approaching in the past few days, and it was heard that Lin Daiyu was intended to be promised to Wei Ruolan by his family, so he suddenly became a model of serving the public, wishing to live in Gongxue all day long and not go home.

To put it bluntly, I just wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

Qiu Shi'an boasted a few words, and then explained: "However, no matter how busy you are with official duties, don't forget to let your son enter the palace to thank you when you have time tomorrow - if you can't see the emperor, you should also see the noble concubine."

"It should be so, it should be so!"

Jia Zheng complied repeatedly, chatted a few more words, and then sent Qiu Shi'an away.

As expected, Baoyu did not come back until the second watch, and did not ask for leave in the yamen.

This time, Jia Zheng refused to indulge him any more, and the next morning he sent someone directly to the engineering school to ask for leave, and Jia Lian personally pressed him to go to Donghua Gate to hand over a sign to see him.

Because it was the last day of Chunwei, the emperor had to wait for the return from the tribute court as usual, so he was not in a hurry to summon him, but ordered someone to lead him to Jia Yuanchun in Jingren Palace.

In front of his own sister, Jia Baoyu was naturally much more relaxed. After being guided a few words, he told the truth about his bitterness.

It is said to be bitter water, but in fact it is just hypocritical to outsiders.

On the one hand, he couldn't let Sister Lin go, but on the other hand, he was overwhelmed by Sister Bao's performance, but he didn't have the courage to break the rules and get the best of both worlds.

After Jia Yuanchun worked hard for a long time, most of the depression in his chest finally dissipated, and when he saw the emperor at noon, he became more amiable.

It just happened that Emperor Longyuan was in high spirits these few days because the Beijing-West Railway was finally finalized. As a result, he took Baoyu and got drunk, and in the end he was even carried out of the palace.

When I woke up again, it was already early morning of the next day.

Jia Baoyu scratched his head and sat up from the bed, and asked under the east wall, "What time is it?"

But a voice that didn't want to answer came from the west side: "My little ancestor, you are awake!"

Jia Baoyu turned his head and saw Xiren walking quickly, only then did he vaguely remember that this was no longer in Yihong Courtyard, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

"What? The wine hasn't sobered up yet? Musk Moon, Musk Moon, bring the hangover soup!"

While Xiren beckoned Sheyue to get the hangover soup, he stretched out his hand to press the acupuncture points on Baoyu's head.

But Baoyu raised his hand to block it, and sighed quietly: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want."

Xiren frowned slightly when he heard the words, and then stretched it out again, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, we don't understand what the second master is thinking, but fortunately, someone close to me is coming soon."

Baoyu understood that she was talking about Baochai, and couldn't help sighing at that moment.

He got up and wanted to get dressed, but Xiren took a bright red groom's outfit from the side and wrapped it around him.

At this moment, the word "marriage" seemed to have a real feeling, and it covered him from beginning to end, making him feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't think of a reason to refuse. .

In a daze, Jia Baoyu didn't know how many red tapes he went through, until he was surrounded by everyone and came to the gate, and was dazzled by the searchlight on the colorful plaque, Jia Baoyu regained his senses.

With Li Gui's help, he managed to climb onto the tall snow-white horse.

This scene was seen by countless people, but they only thought that he was hungover, and they all knew that he drank with the emperor yesterday, so not only no one laughed, but envied him.

However, just as Jia Baoyu cupped his fists and was about to bid farewell to his parents, and rushed to Zijin Street with the bridal sedan chair and the wedding procession, he suddenly heard the rumble of horseshoes coming from the street.

Hearing the prestige and looking around, with the help of the red lanterns hanging on both sides, he saw dozens of knights in black clothes galloping with guns and live ammunition, followed by two to three hundred soldiers.

Although everyone felt that the visitor was not kind, they did not expect that this would be directed at the Rongguo Mansion, until the dozens of riders stopped in front of the welcoming team, and the leading captain shouted loudly: "Which one is Jia Baoyu?! "

Without waiting for someone to answer, his cold eyes fell directly on Jia Baoyu, and he clasped his horsewhip and cupped his hands and said, "By the holy decree, please young master Jia come with us."

There was a big uproar at the scene.

After all, this marriage was hand-picked by the emperor, and the honor was bestowed on the previous son, and Baoyu was left in the palace for a drink yesterday, so why did the dragon guards be sent to arrest her all of a sudden?
Is there another reward?
But this posture...

Besides, even if there is a reward, shouldn't the auspicious time of welcoming the bride be missed?

Jia Zheng felt his hands and feet were sore, he opened his mouth to ask a question, when Mrs. Wang rushed forward and asked, "Did you make a mistake? Baoyu just came back from the palace yesterday, how could it be..."

"The last general doesn't know what's going on."

The school lieutenant said in a nonchalant manner: "However, since the higher-ups have dispatched you, Mr. Jia has to go with us, maybe we will be fine if we speak clearly at the yamen of Zhenfusi, and Mr. Jia will come back to be his groom's official."

Hearing the word Zhenfusi, who would dare to believe that Baoyu could explain it clearly?

Jia Zheng also followed closely down the steps, cupped his hands at the captain, and asked, "Is there any misunderstanding here? Could you please wait a moment, my lord, and wait for Jia to go..."

Before Jia Zheng could finish speaking, the school lieutenant clasped his fists in the direction of the Forbidden City: "This is an oracle, so is there any reason to bargain?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand: "Come on, tie me up!"

Several dragon guards rushed up immediately, and pulled the stunned Jia Baoyu off the horse, tied his shoulders and back tightly, and then put him across the back of the big white horse with the red hydrangea on its head.

One of the dragon guards got on his horse, and surrounded by the other riders, he rode away without hesitation.

Only then did Jia Baoyu come to his senses, raised his neck and shouted, "Master, madam, save me, save me!"

Seeing this scene, there was chaos in front of Rongguo Mansion, countless people changed their colors in an uproar, and Mrs. Wang even rolled her eyes and fell down.

Jia Zheng supported her subconsciously, trembling and waiting to say something, but saw the school lieutenant clasped his hands again on the horse and said, "Mr. Zhou will trouble you to check the people in the house, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my permission."

"You, what else do you want to do?!"

Jia Lian finally dared to ask a question when he saw that he was going to implicate the whole family.

"Don't dare."

The school lieutenant said indifferently: "The last general was just ordered to inquire about Mr. Jia's recent words and deeds."

As he spoke, he waved again, and a small school under his command led soldiers to outflank and guard all the access channels of Rongguo Mansion.

After finishing all this, the captain finally got down from his horse, and made a gesture of inviting in: "Duke Cun Zhou, please come in for a briefing."

Jia Zheng supported Mrs. Wang, but he also relied on Lin Zhixiao's support, so he didn't collapse on the ground. He stared at the captain and asked in a trembling voice, "What is the reason? There must be a reason, right?"

The school lieutenant just shook his head: "The last general is just following orders."

After a pause, he added: "That's what the oracle said."

He seemed to be reminding something, but it was all right, who could guess why the emperor issued such an edict? !
