The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 643
It's evening.

Jiao Shun San Ya returned home, just turned into the passage between the two gates, and bumped into Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu head-on, just looking at him with four eyes full of hope, he knew that they had been waiting for a long time.

Facing the expectations in their eyes, the corners of Jiao Shun's mouth turned up slightly, and then he slowly uttered four words: "Fortunately, life is not disgraceful."

Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu both heaved a sigh of relief, and they seemed to have lost a little in stature in an instant, which showed how tight a string was just now.

Immediately Shi Xiangyun put his hands together and recited 'Amitabha Buddha'.

Lin Daiyu bowed solemnly to Jiao Shun: "Little sister will take the place of Second Sister-in-law and Rongguo Mansion first, thank you Brother Jiao for your help!"

This is the difference between inside and outside, Shi Xiangyun and Jiao Shun's husband and wife are one, thanking them for this in front of outsiders seems to be different.

But Lin Daiyu is just a sojourner temporarily, even if the real client is not her, she still has to accept Jiao Shun's favor first.

"It's just a matter of duty."

Jiao Shunyun waved his hand lightly, and said again: "This is not a place to talk."

"No, no, no! I, I just spent a lot of money on the road, but this can't be regarded as greedy ink?!"

In the past, even if Jiao Shun showed his wisdom in this area, Sister Lin might not feel too much, but the Rongguo Mansion suffered two disasters recently, which made her really feel the importance of power, and also More or less in awe of the affairs of the official career.

If that's the case, I just came back with money for a 'happy funeral'!
After cursing her father, Jia Rong stretched her hands into her sleeves and groped for a while, finally sighed helplessly, and stepped out of the courtyard, but instead of rushing to Rongguo Mansion for trial, she went back to her own home first.

Fortunately, this is not impossible to make up for. Since I have helped the Rongguo Mansion so much, if Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng will find a reason not to pick her up, can she fly back by herself?

He used to be afraid of Jia Zhen, but now he is even more afraid of Jia Zhen's disease.

As he said that, he snatched the bank note that Jia Rong had been holding in his hand, looked at the number, put it in his arms, and then turned out a small denomination note and handed it to Lai Sheng, asking him to use it as a pawn .

"Ah."

"That's right!"

Jia Rong said what happened just now, then scratched her head and said, "My son really doesn't know what is going on with them."

Jia Rong answered with drooping head, and as soon as she went out, she turned her head and spat hard, scolding this old thing for being so obsessed with money. Why didn't the willow disease directly kill him?

Speechless all the way.

Although Jia Qiang hasn't touched her new concubine yet, what if he does?Didn't he suffer from being dumb for nothing? !
Hey~
After all, people's hearts are changeable, I think brothers can understand everything at the beginning...

"So, His Majesty has forgiven your empress?!"

Lin Daiyu also hurriedly paid attention to Jiao Shun after hearing the words.

Speaking of...

And if I also have a son like Brother Xiong, wouldn't I be able to use this to contain Uncle Jiao, and prevent Brother Xiong from threatening my inheritance - when the time comes, all sons and grandchildren will be flesh, and Uncle Jiao will not be able to help him anymore. Is brother Xiong in charge?

"I don't think so."

Jia Rong got stuck for a while, and immediately called out to Zhuang Tianqu: "What kind of grease can there be on my son, those people are just covered in lard, everyone looks like a piece of fat!"

"what?!"

After passing the current hurdle, it's time for me to buy an outhouse—that guy Jia Qiang is not a thing, and when I sent him over, I told him to play casually, but he was fine, holding the little one like a baby. Actor, don't even let yourself touch it!

"As long as the empress can gain the favor of the emperor again, those people outside who have caused trouble will surely die down—by then, the crime of harboring will be nothing more than scabies."

"What is there to be reluctant about?!"

When he was in the living room of the main room, Jiao Shun turned his head and said to Lin Daiyu: "Sister Lin wait a moment, I'll go and change into the official uniform first."

Shi Xiangyun didn't even want to follow behind, Lin Daiyu hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and chased after her.

"really?!"

But Jia Rong, led by the soldiers, came to a small flower hall in the outer courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, and the moment he entered the door and raised his eyes, he froze on the spot like a clay-made wood plastic.

Jia Rong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Master, you mean Uncle Jiao?"

Jia Zhen nodded and said, "It can only be him."

"It's still the same as the third child!"

Jia Zhen saw that her son's expression did not seem to be fake, so she didn't bother to ask any more questions, and directly said with a flick of her sleeves: "Then you go over and have a look, and when you come back, master, I will continue to argue with you!"

In his eyes now, the Xu family is worse than a chicken rib. Instead of keeping it at home as an eyesore, it is better to go outside and earn some benefits back.

When he returned home in a hurry, he saw Mrs. Xu coming out with a bitter face, he stopped immediately, and took two steps back vigilantly, then he scolded: "I don't want to say anything, you are fine. Get out and don't bother me!"

As he spoke, he secretly looked at Daiyu from the corner of his eye.

Lin Daiyu sat at the bottom silently, thinking about Jiao Shun's tone and demeanor just now, she couldn't help sighing secretly, no wonder Big Brother Jiao was able to thrive in the officialdom. Had to do it?

Shi Xiangyun also hurriedly ordered Xiangling to serve tea, and then followed him in to wait for Jiao Shun to change and wash.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhen looked her son up and down, and asked, "Are you really willing?"

"Lai Sheng."

This morning was no exception.

After a pause, he said again: "Brother Xiong is getting older, let her take her to recognize relatives."

Jiao Shun said firmly: "It is expected that there will be news in three or two days!"

At this moment, Jia Rong had already recalled the memory, and rushed to ask: "Could it be that the lawsuit of the Rongguo Mansion is really over?!"

It was less than half an hour.

Jia Rong walked into the study with heavy steps. Seeing Jia Zhen standing in front of the desk and admiring a calligraphy and painting with her hands behind her back, she hurriedly stood still at a distance, and said cautiously, "Master, I'm here."

Just when he was in a daze, he saw the Xuncheng Yushi who had met once before greeted the door, and said with cupped hands: "The official has been busy with business recently, and he has not been strict in control for a while, so that these young people can be rampant. It really makes Jia guards I laughed."

"My lord, it's really a good idea to move around more."

As he spoke, he pondered thoughtfully.

"Then where does this joy come from?"

At this time, Jia Zhen suddenly raised her head, stared at Jia Rong and asked: "Then how much oil and water do you have on your body, is it worthy of people's concern?"

Without raising her head, Jia Zhen stared at the calligraphy and painting for a while, and then asked: "I heard that you were called away again in the morning? What did you ask?"

Jia Zhen stroked her beard and said triumphantly: "After all, we are separated from the empress by one floor, and we can't get closer than the Xifu side, but Jiao Changqing's side is different - let your mother go home and walk around more in the future. It's rare to have such a close relative, how can we wait so long?"

Jia Zhen glanced at him, dismissed Lai Sheng noncommittally, and then sneered: "Useless stuff! You are already at this age, why can't you tell the priorities? Let me ask you, it's the empress in the palace who is important." , or is it more important to be someone who can make your empress win favor again?!"

"how?!"

"I heard that it was Lord Jiao's idea. He had just met the Holy Majesty on the front foot, and the empress was summoned on the back foot!"

"It's not..."

As soon as he was seated, Shi Xiangyun couldn't help asking: "Master, what's the matter?"

He didn't remember what else the censor said at all, let alone how he returned to Ningguo Mansion.

After Jia Rong scolded her, seeing that Mrs. Xu had no intention of giving way, she simply walked around the wall, took the silver from the house and took the door away, never bothering to look at Mrs. Xu from the beginning to the end.

Jiao Shun changed into Wanfu clothes with blue background, gold threads and silver patterns, came out from the inside wiping his hands, and sat on the main seat with Shi Xiangyun across the tea table.

It only takes a quarter of an hour.

Jia Rong became more and more dazed, until the censor took out a bank note and said that it was stolen money, and he took it reflexively.

Jia Zhen came out from behind the table, approached Jia Rong step by step, and said in a sullen voice: "If what girl Feng said is true, then there is something wrong with our income this time-I count, inside and out It's half the distance!"

Jiao Shun put down the teacup in his hand, and said solemnly: "Rongguo Mansion was easily involved in the hiding case this time, in the final analysis, it was because Concubine Xiande fell out of favor in the palace, and her mother's family didn't have a pillar, so everyone fell into the wall push."

Jia Rong also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, I want to have a good time and congratulate the empress!"

"So, you are still greedy?"

Saying that, head towards the middle courtyard first.

The two fathers and sons were in the study, the father was kind and the son was filial, when they suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Master, master, the inspector of the city called the uncle to come over again!"

Two days later, Ningguo Mansion.

There were five or six people kneeling in Geyin's flower hall, without exception, all of them were the city inspectors who had blackmailed him.

If Lin Daiyu hadn't been waiting outside, she might not be able to hold back the question in the room.

Both father and son were taken aback, Jia Zhen frowned and retreated behind the table, asking suspiciously, "Did you say something wrong this morning?"

Jia Rong was still standing in the distance at first, but when she saw him getting closer, she shrank back tremblingly. By the time Jia Zhen stood in the middle of the study, he was almost retreating outside the door.

Jia Zhen saw him in a daze, fearing that he would be implicated by the West Mansion, so she hurriedly yelled and asked what happened.

Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu were stunned immediately. Since the matter is still there, why did they say it was a blessing?
Just as Shi Xiangyun was about to question him, Jiao Shun took the initiative to explain: "The fact that the Rongguo Mansion is harboring the Wang family's bankers has already been heard in the streets, and it is the emperor. If you want to withdraw the case for no reason, I am afraid it will not be so easy."

When she woke up a little, she was already in Jia Zhen's study.

"I'm [-]% sure."

Shi Xiangyun's beautiful eyes widened, and he looked at his master in disbelief, even Lin Daiyu who was beside him was taken aback, and his eyes showed admiration unconsciously.

"I……"

As Jia Rong was talking, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly suggested again: "Why don't Mrs. Xu follow along, so that if the wife gets stuck in something, we can have a backup, right?"

"This, this...in Guangdong and Guangxi..."

Xin Dao originally wanted to take the opportunity to keep Lin Daiyu at home, and then slowly figure it out, but now in order to burn Xiande Concubine's cold stove, it has invisibly destroyed the premise of her staying in Jiao's house for a long time.

"Pleading for the empress?"

"what?!"

"That's why I didn't mention the case of hiding when I interviewed the saint today, but tried to intercede for the Xiande concubine."

"Not bad!"

Now Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's father and son finally rejoiced. In the final analysis, the biggest support of Rongning and Ningfu is Concubine Xiande. Since Concubine Xiande has made a comeback in the palace, what is the hiding case?
Besides, even if the Rongguo Mansion really collapsed because of the harboring case, wouldn't there still be the Ningguo Mansion?
Can't write two Jia characters in one stroke, the Rongguo Mansion has collapsed, and the Ningguo Mansion is obliged to go up!
After rejoicing for a while, Jia Zhen asked curiously again: "Didn't it mean that the emperor has always refused to see the empress, why did he suddenly entrust him with an important task?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I still have business to do, so please open it!"

"No! It's an old problem. If my son is wrong, he should have found out by now!"

Lai Sheng went back and forth blushing, knelt down and kowtowed as soon as he entered the door and said, "Congratulations, master, congratulations to master, great joy, great joy!"

Jia Rong said without hesitation: "Ms. Xu has been married for some time, but there has been no movement. Let her teach her some experience with his wife, and she will be pregnant if she is not sure! For the sake of children and grandchildren. , she followed her toil and toil, so it was nothing."

Jia Zhen was also baffled at first, but soon thought of a possibility, and hurriedly found the general manager Lai Sheng, and ordered him to try to find out the news to see if there was a reversal of the Rongguo Mansion's lawsuit.

"Just on the road?"

Jiao Shun, however, picked up the tea slowly and tasted it first, then shook his head and said, "It's over."

Earlier, he took out all the scattered silver on his body to pawn, but now there are only a few hundred or thousands of taels of silver bills left in his pocket. He is reluctant to cheapen those petty officials, so he is going home to get some useful ones.

Rao is Xu's swearing to the sky that he and his father-in-law will never get along, but Jia Rong still doesn't believe it at all-didn't the Qin family pretend to be chaste and fierce when he was alive?
Besides, those two Yangzhou skinny horses that I brought back from Jiangnan and put them in Jia Qiang's house temporarily are not much better at serving people than Xu's?

When Qin Keqing died, Jia Zhen specially bought Jia Rong a fifth-rank noble in the Dragon Guards in order to allow her to be buried in a grand manner, and was given the title of the third-class guard in front of the imperial court.

Lai Sheng said happily and gesticulated: "I heard that I will help the emperor deal with the government affairs!"

With that said, he stepped into the room again.

The only question now is...

Looking down at the amount, Jia Rong saw that it was more than what she had vomited out these days. Jia Rong felt as if she was in a dream in the clouds.

Jia Rong rubbed her hands and walked back and forth for a few steps, excitedly said: "This time it's all right, this time it's all right, with the support of the empress in the palace, let's see who dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head!"

"This……"

Jia Rong also had a puzzled expression on her face. Although she was always being blackmailed by the city patrol officers recently, there was no reason why she would make a comeback in the afternoon just after making a fortune in the morning.

Ever since she came back and learned that Jia Zhen was infected with Yangyi's willow disease, Jia Rong regarded Xu as a scourge and never wanted to get close to her.

…………

Xu's eye circles turned red immediately, and he asked sadly: "My lord still won't believe me?!"

"It was him!"

"Ok?"

It was obviously a matter of accidental blundering and going along with the flow, but it was decided by what he said, and Dong Zhizhu was in his hands.

At this time, Jia Zhen suddenly heard: "Go and prepare a generous gift."

"It's in the palace, the virtuous concubine in the palace is favored again!"

So these days, Jia Rong is often called to the next door for questioning. At first, the censor in charge came forward to interrogate, and then gradually changed to a few small officials, and the questions were always repeated:
Such as what kind of goods were first delivered to the ship, whether there were any contraband, the quantity, the profit after the return trip, and whether there were any abnormalities found.

"You're getting smarter."

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Jia Rong gritted her teeth and knelt down on her knees, kowtowed like pounding garlic and said repeatedly: "Master Mingjian, our family's tunes are too complicated, and the historians and Wang's family are more attentive to Xifu. I went to the market—my son is surrounded by the master’s people, even if I have eight heads, I don’t dare to be greedy for so many!”

When Jia Rong was annoyed, she couldn't help complaining: "It's said to be an inquiry, but I've figured it out after several times, those dogs just want to use chicken feathers as arrows, and take the opportunity to cheat some money from my son! "

Speaking of this, Jia Rong was very angry, because he was the person in charge sent by the Ningguo Mansion to Guangdong and Guangxi. Apart from not going out to sea with him, from the initial accumulation of goods, to the sale of goods after the merchant ship returned to Hong Kong Foreign goods have all participated in it.

Then Xu's body is not clean.

Thinking of this, Jia Rong couldn't help casting a suspicious look at her father.

But Jia Zhen didn't notice this, he lowered his head and murmured secretly, thinking that You Shi had become more and more rampant by relying on Jiao Shun in the past two years, it would be great if there was someone to check and balance her.

Anyway, with his current situation, it is unsustainable to pick up ashes, so it is better to exchange it for some real benefits.
