The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 615: Parasitic Grass

Along the way, Jiao Shun planned countless perfunctory words in advance, but when he arrived at Rongning Street, the situation was far beyond his expectation.

Almost as soon as they turned the corner, they heard cheers from outside: "Uncle Jiao is here, Uncle Jiao is here!"

Then there was continuous sound of firecrackers exploding.

Inexplicably, Jiao Shun opened the curtains and looked around, and saw a few familiar boys happily running on the left and right sides of the carriage to lead the way. Farther away, the thick smoke caused by dozens of hundreds of firecrackers was almost Most of the street has been covered.

What kind of happy event happened in Rongguo Mansion?
Jiao Shun pondered for a moment, but it was difficult to guess.

At this time, the carriage was also led by the driver on foot to the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Jiao Shun was about to get out of the car to ask for clarification, when the boy who led the way shouted: "Go to the main entrance, go to the main entrance, our master and wife are waiting there!"

Go through the front door?
Are Jia Zheng and his wife waiting there?

Jiao Shun had some speculations this time, in the current situation, the door of the Rongguo Mansion could be opened wide to welcome his happy event, and probably only Concubine Yuan and Baoyu would be able to get out of trouble.

But when he left the palace earlier, Jia Yuanchun was still confined in Yuyun Garden, and the emperor didn't show any intention of releasing him.

How come in a blink of an eye...

Just as he was puzzled, the carriage passed through the billowing smoke and slowly stopped outside the main gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Seeing that Jia Zheng and his wife, together with Jia Zhen and Jia Qiang, were all waiting at the bottom of the steps, Shuan Zhu didn't dare to neglect, he trotted around to the back of the car and set up the steps for getting off the horse.

Jiao Shun walked down the steps quickly, the confusion on his face turned into joy in an instant, and before Jia Zheng and others came up to meet him, he raised his voice and asked, "Uncle Shi, but brother Bao was released?!"

"Brother Lian has been sent to pick him up!"

Jia Zheng's slender face was full of joy after being relieved, and he quickly walked up to greet him with a deep bow, "Thank you for Changqing's help, this kindness will never be forgotten by my Jia family!"

Sure enough.

Jiao Shun didn't wonder why they attributed the credit to himself. After all, the emperor let Jia Baoyu and Concubine Yuan go behind him just after he was in the palace. What a key role.

Thinking in this way, he said modestly and vaguely: "Uncle Shi is serious, I just dared to say a few words in front of His Majesty, not to mention that His Majesty didn't promise anything at that time—maybe His Majesty thought about it later. It worked out, or listened to the persuasion of others."

He played it alone in the dormitory for about two quarters of an hour. During this time, apart from the emperor, only Concubine Wu was there. Apart from these two, who knows what he said at that time?
Besides, didn't I not recognize the credit?
Seeing that Jiao Shun didn't take credit for it, Jia Zheng felt more and more grateful for his kindness. Thinking about how he once wanted to exclude him, he felt ashamed and ashamed.

After all, Jiao Shun was also guilty, so he took the initiative to change the subject and said, "I just came out of the palace and rushed to the mansion, but why did the news come earlier than me?"

Madam Wang has been staring at him with teary eyes since just now, her eyes are as hot as fire, as if she wants to melt people.

Hearing Jiao Shun's question, she rushed to answer: "The icing on the cake, of course someone rushed to do it. Otherwise, how could there be a saying that a friend in adversity sees the truth?"

Concubine Yuan and Baoyu were imprisoned before, and Jia She, the most honorable title, died. The Rongguo Mansion seemed to be defeated, and the Forbidden City became an impenetrable iron wall. Jia Zheng spent a lot of money to plead, but only found out Some news that is hard to distinguish between true and false.

Now that time has passed, the Jia family's old acquaintances and new acquaintances in the palace suddenly rushed out like dog urine moss. In a short period of time, several businessmen came to report.

At this time, Jia Zhen smiled and said: "The old ancestor is still waiting inside, I think we should invite Brother Shun in to talk first."

"exactly!"

Jia Zheng slapped his forehead, stretched out his hand to grab Jiao Shun, and gave way to his arm, "Chang Qing, don't rush to leave today, our uncle and nephew won't come home until they're drunk!"

"Count me in too!"

Jia Zhen was also joking aside, but this time he really felt sorry for Jiao Shun, after all, if the Rongguo Mansion collapsed, his Ningguo Mansion would be nothing good.

But in fact, Jiao Shun didn't want to sit with him at all, and even Jia Zheng had the same idea-although Duke Cun Zhou had already cleared his six roots, who hasn't thought about making a comeback?
Just like that, everyone in Rongguo Mansion was beaming with joy and invited Jiao Shun into the mansion, and then there was the sound of firecrackers bursting outside the door—it was because Jia Shexin died and it was not easy to make a fuss. If not, I'm afraid that the banners would be flying and the drums would be shaking the sky.

When they arrived at Rongxi Hall, the old lady led Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Youshi, Lin Daiyu, Sanchun and others to welcome them out of the door.

Because all the children of the younger generation are filial piety except Youshi, on the contrary, their natural beauty is more and more prominent.

But Jiao Shun didn't dare to look too much, after all, more than half of them looked at him with eyes that were different from those of Mrs. Wang just now.

At this time, the old lady broke free from the support of the mandarin duck, leaned on a cane and walked half a step forward, kneeling and said: "Thank you for my mother and Baoyu..."

"Can't, can't!"

Jiao Shun hurriedly stepped forward to stop her from paying homage, and said in fear and fear, "Didn't the old ancestor take my life away? Besides, since I married Xiangyun now, our family should not talk about each other." .”

"Yes, yes, one family does not speak two languages."

Wang Xifeng came up to take over the old lady from him, took advantage of the situation and scratched Jiao Shun's palm, and said, "It's windy outside, we'll wait until we get in."

This phoenix pepper!

Even someone as aggressive as Jiao was startled by her little action, and took a half step back in a hurry.

I saw that although Wang Xifeng was dressed in plain clothes, she was smiling like a flower. The grievances accumulated in the past seemed to be completely melted away, and she was confident from the inside to the outside, as if Jiao Shun was sitting in the small hall a few years ago. The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara I saw came back to the world again.

Because she has been hiding from Rongguo Mansion recently, Jiao Shun doesn't know why she is like this.

Just as he walked in with a stomach full of surprises, he suddenly heard Li Wan smile and say to Youshi from the side: "It is said that a man should not be powerless for a day, and I don't think our second grandma is the same. It's only been a few days, it seems like another Like ten years younger."

She's back in power?

When Jiao Shun received this signal, he became more and more puzzled. Didn't Mrs. Wang make up her mind to give Xue Baochai too much power?

Even if the marriage fails for the time being, there is no need to change Wang Xifeng back, right?
Could it be that something went wrong with Tanchun?
But looking at Jia Tanchun's radiant look, it seems that this is not the case.

When the guests and hosts were seated in the Rongxi Hall, Jia Muli first asked about Shi Xiangyun's recent situation, and then blamed herself for not being able to inquire because of Baoyu and Yuanchun's affairs when Jiao Shun came to worship in the mansion last time.

"The ancestors shouldn't have asked."

Wang Xifeng jokingly said at the side: "Before Miss Yun got married, brother Shun showed her courtesy from time to time. Now that the husband and wife are one, why don't you hold her to the top of your heart?"

Everyone laughed.

At this moment, another person said outside the door: "But how did I hear that Lai Wang and his wife intend to find a family for the Lai family to inherit the incense?"

Everyone looked around in astonishment, and saw Mrs. Xing walking in wearing sackcloth and filial piety, and met the eyes of everyone in the hall, pretending to be flustered: "Everyone is watching what I do, I, I also heard about it by accident."

As Shi Xiangyun's aunt, Jia's mother naturally didn't like such rhetoric, but when she was about to reprimand the elder daughter-in-law, she hesitated and turned to look at Jiao Shun.

Jiao Shunwan never expected that the Xing family would suddenly jump out to expose his wolfish ambitions, and it was still more than a month after he got married.

I was a little caught off guard for a moment, so I could only sneer and say: "This, this...my parents may think so, but I am wholehearted in Xiangyun, and I will try to persuade them."

This is not convincing.

After all, these days people pay attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, and with Jiao Shun's current situation, it is completely reasonable for him to come to his family to want to marry and continue the incense.

The old lady frowned slightly, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly took the opportunity to change the topic, and the laughter resumed in the hall not long after.

At this moment, Tanchun, who had been pinching his sweat, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Xing family would suddenly bring up the matter of concubine, naturally she secretly instructed it through Wang Xifeng - after all, according to the rules, uncles and uncles only need to mourn for nine months after death, and now that another month has passed, it is time for her to die. Lifetime events are on the agenda.

Although this is actually somewhat against the rules, Tanchun is really worried that there will be another change, so he doesn't care too much.

Thinking that after laying the groundwork, things will come to fruition later, she couldn't help being happy, but suddenly found that the second sister Yingchun, who was beside her, clenched her fists unconsciously, and her pair of beautiful eyes couldn't leave Jiao Shun's side for a moment.

Tanchun's heart beat suddenly.

Second Sister, could it be that she wants to...

But she thought about it again, Jia She is Yingchun's biological father, and according to the rules, she has to keep a filial piety for at least 27 months. There is a difference of two years here and there, how can she compete with herself for Big Brother Jiao?

At that moment, my heart relaxed again, but I didn't ask safety to relax my vigilance, I just thought about exploring the mind of Yingchun in the future.

At this moment, the outside came to report happily, saying that Jia Lian had brought Baoyu back from Zhao prison.

The old lady got up immediately and was about to go out to greet her.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang couldn't persuade him, so they confessed to Jiao Shun, and accompanied the old lady to the neighborhood of Neiyi Gate.

Before moving forward, he saw Jia Lian striding towards him, and shouted from a distance: "Look, old ancestor, who is back!"

Needless to say, everyone had already seen Jia Baoyu behind him.

"Baoyu, my Baoyu!"

The old lady let out a cry and walked like flying on crutches.

Baoyu on the opposite side stopped hesitantly, and looked blankly at the grandmother who was rushing forward, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

Until the old lady rushed up and hugged her, he didn't see any reaction.

Mrs. Wang cried and followed beside her, she didn't notice anything wrong for a while, but Jia Zheng saw something wrong, pulled Jia Lian and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you looking, looking..."

Jia Lian raised his hand to compare it with his head, and said in a low voice, "It seems that he was frightened in the prison. I asked the doctor to look at it halfway, and he said that there is no problem. It will be fine after a while."

"Ah~"

Jia Zheng sighed, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, this son has been ill since he was a child, and he would suffer from hysteria from time to time. Now that he has been imprisoned for more than a month, it would be strange if there is no problem at all.

At this time, Jia Baoyu seemed to have finally regained consciousness, hesitantly embraced the old lady with his backhand, and squeezed out: "Old ancestor."

"Baoyu, my Baoyu!"

The old lady cried even harder, no matter what Wang Xifeng and Li Wan tried to persuade her, she would not let go.

In the end, Jiao Shun came forward and said that Baoyu should go wash up and change clothes to get rid of bad luck. Then the old lady reluctantly let go of her grandson, and Mrs. Wang took over and took him back home.

However, Mrs. Wang cried twice while holding her son in her arms, and gradually realized that something was wrong.

Baoyu is usually full of emotions, and he will suddenly feel sad for no reason, but after returning this time, he seems much more indifferent.

It doesn't mean that there is no emotional reaction at all, but it just seems very slow, as if there is a shell on the body, whether it is receiving the emotions of the outside world or reacting, it is several beats slower.

Feeling distressed, she hugged her son into Jiao's extremely familiar chest, and Mrs. Wang said sadly: "My son, what happened to you? But what happened to you in prison? They, they tortured you?!"

Speaking of the latter sentence, her voice trembled uncontrollably.

Faced with his mother's question, Jia Baoyu shook his head in confusion after a while: "No, I, I just... I don't know either."

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to ask the bottom line, but she couldn't bear to press him seeing his distraught appearance, so she had to expose the problem first and sent him back to his residence.

Taking advantage of washing up, Mrs. Wang called Xiren outside the door, and told her to take good care of Gu Baoyu these days, and make him smile more by the way—if it doesn't work, it's okay to cry.

"Wait half a day. I'll invite monks and Taoists to come and have a look. It's best not to be entangled with any dirty things. If it is entangled, I will do a ritual ceremony to save the body."

Xiren listened respectfully, until Mrs. Wang had finished speaking, and then he hesitated to suggest: "Why don't you invite Miaoyu back to have a look? I heard from the eldest grandma and the second grandma that after she was kicked out, she became enlightened. He is diligent and has even become the presiding officer of the temple.”

"Is there such a thing?"

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, she didn't like Miaoyu as a person, otherwise she wouldn't have driven Miaoyu away under Youshi's instigation.

But right now, her son is the most important thing - even Jiao Shun can't be bothered, let alone some small personal likes and dislikes.

Then he nodded and said, "Let's talk about it after I ask Miss Feng."

After a pause, he ordered again: "Don't spread this matter, and don't let him run around—if anyone asks, just say that Baoyu caught cold in the prison and needs to be raised at home."

at the same time.

Inside the room, Baoyu dressed neatly again, and the blankness in his eyes seemed to have faded a bit. He stared at the scene in the room, and turned around to touch one by one.

When he touched a small box, he stopped suddenly, hesitated for a while, opened the lid and took out a note from inside, only to find a poem "Parasite Grass" written on it:
I am not you, I don't understand Iraq from him.Come and go without hindrance.Feeling very sad and happy in the vast expanse, one after another said that they are very close.In the past, there was no reason for mediocrity, but now, it’s really boring to look back and think about it!
