The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 714 Shocking the Grass and Scaring the Snake【Continued】

Xue's back house.

Xue Baochai was quite astonished when he heard Xue Biao's face full of embarrassment, and told the whole story. Looking for such a helper?"

After thinking about it in this way, it seems that Lin Daiyu went to the troupe to pick up the wind, which seemed to add a lot of suspiciousness.

"elder sister."

Xue Biao blamed himself: "This matter is all my fault. You have repeatedly warned me beforehand, but I still..."

"All right."

Xue Baochai raised her hand, shook her head nonchalantly, and said, "If you meet such a person, anyone who comes will be afraid to scare the snake—in the end, I was reckless, and I should think of a safer way."

After a few words of comfort to Xue Biao, the two brothers and sisters said goodbye.

When Xue Baochai returned to the study, a little anxiety immediately appeared on the oval face that was originally calm in the ancient well.

The last thing I expected to happen finally happened!

I just don't know what kind of reaction Lin Daiyu will make after learning about this matter, will she have no intention of fighting with herself, but because of this matter, she will instead become competitive?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt uncertain. After all, although Lin Daiyu is not as messy as Baoyu, if she compares it with the truth, she is easy to get emotional.

"Baochai, Baochai~"

At this moment, Aunt Xue's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Baochai quickly put away her frowning, got up and walked out quickly, only to see Aunt Xue holding a piece of paper in her hand, looking into the courtyard from the main room.

"Mom, I'm here."

Baochai hurriedly answered, walked around the flower garden to meet the steps of the main room, and asked with a smile, "You are so busy, what kind of treasure have you got?"

As he spoke, he pretended to be curious and scanned her hands.

Aunt Xue didn't answer, she winked and signaled her daughter to come into the room and talk to her.

When I arrived in the main room, I saw Aunt Xue handing the piece of paper in front of the holder, saying: "I was so busy yesterday that I completely forgot about my business—here, take it, this is Your aunt just sent someone over."

"What is it?"

Baochai asked as she took it, held it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, and immediately asked in surprise: "Is this the deed of dry stock of the car factory?"

"Yes, it is the one opened together with the emperor and Changqing."

Aunt Xue thumped her shoulder vigorously with her backhand, trembling in the trembling skirt, and said with a tired face: "Yesterday, when she was at your uncle's place, she said that she would hand over the deed to you for collection, but Later, I was so tired that I forgot to mention this to you when I came back."

Seeing this, Baochai hurriedly sat her mother on the chair, rubbed her shoulders and back, and said, "If you want to tell me, you shouldn't have accepted it. If you did, it would seem that we were really annoyed with Baoyu."

"Let's take it anyway."

Aunt Xue sighed, and said helplessly: "Your aunt cried in front of me, saying that this deed is the only thing she has in hand, so let's not shirk it."

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, this is not for our family. When you get married at the end of next month, you will naturally have to take it with you."

That's what I said, but since the deed was handed over to Xue Baochai, it meant that Mrs. Wang had completely given up her financial power, and even gave away most of her net worth-she built the car factory with her own money.

"If you say it's a blessing in disguise."

Seeing what her mother said, Xue Baochai didn't mention whether she should accept the deed, but said: "At the beginning, my aunt gritted her teeth and took out the money, but it was because of the sacred will. I thought it would be better to pay less. Yes, Big Brother Jiaoguo has the ability to turn stones into gold, and looking at the current momentum, I am afraid that in the future, the income will not be much less than that of the tire business."

"It can be said that it is."

Aunt Xue's face was full of relief, and she took three points and said proudly: "I was worried that you would go there, and you would have to worry about money, but now that you have this deed, you can have a lot of money. too much."

After a pause, he couldn't help but add: "The tire business, isn't it the same that Changqing helped start it?"

"It's also fortunate that Brother Jiao is thinking about old love."

Xue Baochai nodded sympathetically: "If there is no tire business to support, then the mansion would have been unsustainable long ago. As the saying goes, good people are rewarded with good rewards. I just hope that Brother Jiao will be safe and sound this time."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue couldn't help but feel a little strange on her face.

Jiao Shun's nostalgia for old love is true, but it's not just about "old" love, and to the male owner of Rongguo Mansion, he may not be regarded as a "good man" now.

Of course, the good "hug" is enjoyed early in the morning, and it's a double share.

"Mother?"

After a long while without seeing her mother speaking again, Xue Baochai couldn't help calling out in doubt.

Only then did Aunt Xue come to her senses, fearing that her daughter would find out what happened to her just now, she hurriedly diverted the conversation and said, "Speaking of the tire business, your aunt has actually been trying to transfer the dry stocks of the tire shop to Changqing at a low price a while ago. , so that he can take care of him in the future; secondly, the money obtained from selling dry stocks can also supplement the family, which can kill two birds with one stone."

"Who knows that Changqing may lose power later, your aunt changed her mind again, and asked me yesterday if our family should take over those dry stocks - she didn't even think about it, if Changqing would be like this You are so snobbish, your cousin is probably still locked up in the sky prison!"

After hearing her mother's complaints and slander, Baochai's hands paused, and then she said helplessly: "Auntie is really confused, how can the icing on the cake be worth the charcoal in the snow? Don't say that Brother Jiao has often turned dangers into safety, this time he will surely be safe, even if he dies. If there is really something unexpected, she will find a reason to procrastinate at that time, can Brother Jiao still buy and sell by force?!"

Aunt Xue was originally just not ashamed of her sister-in-law's snobbery, but now she hesitated after hearing her daughter's analysis.

On the one hand, she still hoped that her natal family would be taken care of by Jiao Shun. If the matter had not yet been settled, she would have time to persuade her sister-in-law to turn around and make up for it.

But on the other hand, she is very dissatisfied with her sister-in-law's practice of employing people to go forward and not to go back, especially the victim is Jiao Shun.

In the end, after thinking about it, she gave up the idea of ​​telling her sister-in-law what she had said. She was by her side, and if there was anything she could help, she would help. When it comes to things that can't be helped, my sister-in-law still doesn't know how to organize her complaints.

…………

at the same time.

Su's house in Peach Blossom Lane.

Lin Daiyu put down the liner in her hand, dried the drawing carefully, and looked at it several times from beginning to end. Although she didn't find any obvious flaws, she finally put it into the pile of waste manuscripts.

Whenever she was waiting for Xue Baochai's reply, in addition to sorting out the old manuscripts, she was also trying to add embroidered portraits to the manuscripts that had already been written. Sister Lin's painters were also quite good, at least better than those crudely made scripts outside. .

But after seeing masterpieces by famous artists and Xichun's spiritual painting skills, when looking at his own works above this level, he always felt that they were not satisfactory, not worthy of the manuscripts that he and Sister Bao painstakingly created.

Forget it~
If it doesn't work, I'll hire a painter later.

After putting down the waste manuscript, Lin Daiyu rubbed her sore wrist and decided to rest for a while before talking.

So I started to tidy up the four treasures of the study on the table, but found some strange paintings under the paperweight.

Lin Daiyu frowned slightly, and called out: "Zijuan, Xueyan, come here!"

Zijuan outside agreed, and after a while, she called Xueyan and went to the study together.

Lin Daiyu pointed to those strange paintings and asked, "What's going on here?"

"This one~"

When Xueyan saw it, she rushed to say: "A while ago, I told the uncle that you were drawing embroidered portraits for the story book recently, and the uncle drew a few graffiti in the study, which seemed to be placed on the table at that time."

Hearing that it was Jiao Shun's work, Lin Daiyu's face turned pale, and after waving her hands to signal the two to leave, she wanted to put away the graffiti, but found that the first two seemed to be the work of practicing brushwork, while the latter was painted in that weird style. , Draw a short story.

[It is said that after Guan Yu died, the former master Liu Bei attacked Wu in anger, and Zhuge Liang sat in Shuzhong.

The first painting shows Zhuge Liang sitting firmly in the tent of the Chinese army, accompanied by Zhao Yun and Ma Liang on the left and right, listening to a scouting report saying that our army has won a great victory and has advanced more than [-] miles into the territory of Wu.

Zhao Yun and Ma Liang were all overjoyed and applauded repeatedly.

The difference in the second picture is almost the same. The Tanma newspaper said that our army won another victory and advanced more than [-] miles.

The third one advances 750 miles...

Zhao Yun and Ma Liang became more and more joyful, but Zhuge Liang groaned silently. When the time was reported for the fourth time, he suddenly said: "The big thing is not good, the big thing is not good, our army will die and there will be no place to bury it!" 】

When she saw this, Daiyu thought that Zhuge Liang had expected the "burning company battalion". When Zhao Yun and Ma Liang asked, Zhuge Liang said: "If the previous success report is not a lie about the military situation, our army has already penetrated into the East China Sea. There are five or six hundred miles away, so there is no place to die?!"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing out loud.

She covered Cherry's little mouth with the back of her hand, and when she looked at the painting again, she felt a little more novelty and exploration—although Jiao Shun's painting skills can be called a disaster, but combined with the content and this ugly and ugly style of painting, it is really amazing. Quite humorous.

Especially when she thought that Jiao Shun drew it specially to relieve her boredom when she was an enemy of Wang Ge, Lin Daiyu liked it more and more.

Then spread out the Four Treasures of the Study and redraw it according to this style of painting.

The refined edition had just been painted, when suddenly there was shouting from outside, Lin Daiyu put down her brush, and walked out of the study in bewilderment, only to see Wang Momo and a few maidservants, asking questions in a hurry around the coachman Brother Xu What.

She hesitated for a moment, then retreated back into the study.

Mistakes are not necessary, she doesn't like to meet face-to-face with her cousin, no matter what happens to her left or right, Zijuan Xueyan will report to her, so she just needs to wait quietly in the study.

Sure enough, Zijuan and Xueyan entered the study after a while.

"It's amazing!"

It was Xueyan who spoke first: "Brother Xu said that when he came back today, someone was following him!"

"what?!"

Lin Daiyu was surprised when she heard this.

"Girl, don't worry."

Zijuan immediately added: "Brother Xu is very alert, he led them to the outer city at that time, and then found a car dealership and slipped away quietly through the back door."

Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but the doubts in her heart did not reduce at all—she and Xue Baochai have been in contact for more than a month, and they have been in peace for so long, but why is there suddenly someone secretly watching?
Seeing this, Xueyan suggested: "Miss, why don't we invite the uncle here to have an idea?"

Although Zicuckoo didn't speak, she agreed with it.

"This……"

Lin Daiyu thought for a while, and finally shook her head and said, "Don't disturb Brother Jiao, I guess Sister Dingbao will definitely not publicize our affairs."

Although I don't understand why someone would follow her secretly, but through the correspondence with Xue Baochai these days, it is basically certain that Xue Baochai does not want the news that he is still stranded in the capital to be known by others—especially the Rongguo Mansion.

So she made up her mind and said: "Let's hang it out for a few days first, then I'll write a letter to clarify the words directly, and then see how Sister Bao reacts."

"This……"

Zijuan and Xueyan looked at each other, the girl was always assertive, but this was not a trivial matter, once the Xue family broke the news to Rongguo Mansion, the master and servants would be in a very embarrassing situation.

After all, it's not easy to say clearly that the girl is doing the housework for Uncle Jiao - but if he doesn't say it, the second master Bao is thinking about marrying the girl again, how can this be done? !

Therefore, after they left the study, the two reached a rare consensus, and felt that Jiao Shun must be informed about this matter.

So the two of them went together again to find Mother Wang's idea.

Not long after, Lao Xu pulled the carriage out of Peach Blossom Lane again, and headed straight for Gongxue, but when he passed the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion along the way, he was stopped by black people.

While he was pulling the car and trying to squeeze forward, he was also a little curious about what these people were watching.

Someone in the front row pointed out: "This Mr. Wang Ge is really good at tricks. These newspapers that are only sold on the handlebars in the morning will be brought back at noon to show the public."

"Humph~"

The man next to him sneered and said, "So what if you catch him? It's just a deceit. Fortunately, Jiangxi is still a place of prosperity. I never imagined that there will be so many traitors who have forgotten the classics!"

"Yes, yes!"

Someone else echoed: "He has seized all the handlebars in the capital, and it's hard to block everyone's mouths!"

Judging by their attire, the three of them were obviously Confucian scholars.

Just when they openly denounced Mr. Wang Ge and rejected Jiangxi people by the way, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Big news, big news! Mr. Li Yanli, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, came to the Jiangxi Guild Hall and called on Jiangxi scholars to stay upright and devote themselves to it. Xiangxue, don't be tainted with unhealthy tendencies and despise yourself!"

With just this sound, the Confucian scholars surrounding the gate of Shuntian Mansion, as well as some people who were concerned about the court, were all in an uproar.

Li Yan, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, is also from Jiangxi. He has been in the Ministry of Rites for many years. He has served as the chief examiner and deputy examiner of the imperial examination several times. !

Didn't everyone say earlier that Mr. Wang Ge is ambitious and is expected to become the chief assistant?

How could it be that in the blink of an eye, even their hometown party rebelled?
If this goes on like this, he is afraid that he will betray his relatives before he can pick the fruits of engineering studies!
