The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 721

Peach Blossom Lane, Su House.

Seeing that the night outside was getting darker, Lin Daiyu stood up and said, "Don't wait, just move the luggage on the table, let's eat first."

Xing Xiuyan has lived here for more than twenty days, and now she is finally going back to Jiao's house. The luggage she brought with her is actually not much, but Lin Daiyu can't stop filling it in, almost taking the rare things that Jiao Shun gave these days Give her half.

This is the result of Xing Xiuyan's refusal.

Xing Xiuyan smiled and gave her a snack, and said: "When I leave, you can eat whatever you like, and you should get some snacks to make up for it at the moment—otherwise, when the master comes, I will be eating hazelnuts." , but what a system."

Lin Daiyu took the dim sum under her nose, looked it over and over for a while, then sighed and put it back on the plate, grabbed Xing Xiuyan's clothes corner with her untouched hand and said: "I just don't want my sister to go, there is peace over there. Don't worry about it, sister, what is there to worry about?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and didn't answer, took out a handkerchief and wiped off the powder on her hands before going to wipe her own.

Although she was also reluctant to part with Sister Lin, but now that the mistress is pregnant, if she stays outside for a long time, even if Xiangyun and Mrs. Xu have no objections, I'm afraid the people below will spread gossip.

Lin Daiyu saw that Xing Xiu smiled and did not answer, she sat back on the Arhat's bed discouraged, and said pitifully: "Then sister will come to see me often when she is free."

"If you don't tell me, I'm coming too."

Xing Xiuyan also sat side by side with her, holding her shoulders and said: "Everyone next to you is fine, but you like to think wildly. In fact, how can everything go well in life? Usually think more, move your muscles and bones more, and take care of what you lack Tell the master that our master is no better than others, and if there is anything deviant, most of them can tolerate it."

Lin Daiyu nodded slightly, and tilted her head on Xing Xiuyan's shoulder.

At this moment, the outside suddenly became lively, and it was clear from the sound that Jiao Shun must have arrived.

Subconsciously, Xing Xiuyan wanted to get up to greet her, but instead of moving her head away, Lin Daiyu wrapped her arms around her waist.

"younger sister?"

Xing Xiuyan lowered her head and called out, but Lin Daiyu turned a deaf ear to it.

There was no other way, so Xing Xiuyan had no choice but to sit still.

Not long after, Jiao Shun strode in from outside, Xing Xiuyan slightly bowed and called 'Master', but Lin Daiyu didn't even lift her head.

"Haha~"

Jiao Shun laughed and said, "Why do you look at my sister like this, it looks like I'm here to snatch a kiss?"

As he said, he brought the things in his hand to Lin Daiyu: "Look what is this?"

Lin Daiyu didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when she saw clearly what was in front of her, she couldn't help exclaiming: "This, is this a leopard?"

"It's Cloud Cat."

Jiao Shun sat aside bravely, and put the cage in his hand on the kang table: "I heard that my sister likes cats, but I can't bear the hair shedding from cats, so I asked someone to find this cat." Here comes the cloud cat—this kind of cat doesn’t shed much hair, and with the brush I made by myself, it’s guaranteed to be foolproof!”

As he said that, he opened the wooden cage, and Yunmao, who was curled up inside, jumped out swiftly and landed firmly on the ground.

"Yeah~"

Lin Daiyu jumped up all of a sudden, stretching out her two thin white arms, as if she wanted to grab it but didn't dare to get close, and complained in a low voice: "Why did you just let go, be careful not to let it run away!"

"Relax and watch me."

Jiao Shun laid down on the ground carelessly, and waved at the cat with outstretched palms, and the cloud cat like a leopard came forward with its long tail and lowered its head to lick Jiao Shun's palm.

Jiao Shun caressed Yunmao's chin, and said proudly: "I heard that this thing is wild, so I deliberately let someone domesticate it for two months, and now it is more obedient than ordinary house cats."

After two months of domestication, plus the time to find the cat, it was almost not long after he moved here, and he was secretly discussing this matter.

Lin Daiyu was moved in her heart, but she refused to let go of her mouth. She lowered her body and stroked the cat, saying: "It's been so late, sister Xing hasn't eaten yet."

"I'm also very hungry, come, come, eat, eat!"

Jiao Shun got up and waved his hand, and said to Xueyan Zijuan: "This cat usually only eats raw meat, so don't feed it with messy things - I will explain to the restaurant and ask them to send some fresh and good meat Come."

Xing Xiuyan also helped Lin Daiyu up at this time, picked up the cat and looked at it carefully, and saw that the hair was thick and short and not easy to float, so she stuffed it into Lin Daiyu's arms and said with a smile: "Hold the rare for a while, and then it will be clean." I don’t want to touch it again after I’ve done it.”

Turning his head, he first helped Jiao Shun make a cup of tea, then squeezed his shoulders and said, "Since the master is busy with official duties, it is also the same to ask that old Xu to send me back."

Jiao Shun covered her catkin with his backhand, and joked: "Someone will fight for you, if I don't personally pick you up, will I pay it back?"

After a pause, he met Lin Daiyu's white eyes and said: "The candidate for Zhan Shi in the East Palace has been decided. With this real backbone in the future, I can enjoy a lot of leisure."

Xing Xiuyan usually wouldn't take the initiative to inquire about the affairs of the court, but since Jiao Shun took the initiative to talk about it, she also asked jokingly: "I don't know which Shangshu it is? Can you make a deal with it?"

"It's not Shangshu, it's Wang Zhe, Wangge Lao."

"Old Wangge?"

Hearing this candidate, not only Xing Xiuyan frowned, but even Lin Daiyu, who had always kept her ears to the outside world, couldn't help asking: "Is that the old Wang Ge who founded the New Confucianism school? Then in the future, wouldn't Zhan Shifu want to ..."

"Do not worry."

Jiao Shun smiled triumphantly: "I recommended this candidate to the emperor—although Wang Gelao's Neo-Confucianism is anticlimactic, he is still the first important minister to respond to the New Deal. Even if it is just to buy horse bones for a thousand dollars, the emperor should have That's what it pays off."

This move is undoubtedly beyond the expectations of most people, but it is a good strategy to get the best of both worlds.

First of all, doing so can show the emperor that he is impartial and selfless, and he has never ruled out the idea of ​​an alien party dominating the dominance-as for Wang Gelao's Neo-Confucianism, that is his own problem.

Secondly, the six ministers who are willing to live in peace with him, Jiao, are the old boss, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but since the matter of Shao Zhan comes from the Ministry of Industry, it is naturally impossible for the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to be responsible for the matter of Zhan.

Instead of introducing other ministers to fight against each other, it is better to let Wang Zhe, a defeated underling who nominally supports the New Deal, come on top—and with this recommendation, it will be more convenient for Jiao Shun to pick up the New Confucianism in the future.

It's a pity that the two women don't know much about the affairs in the court, so it's always less real for him to brag.

After eating and drinking enough, Lin Daiyu took the cat to the entrance of the alley, and the two sisters bid farewell.

Speechless all the way.

It was already very late when he got home, Jiao Shunyuan wanted to report to Shi Xiangyun, so he went to rest at Ping'er in the West Wing - Xing Xiuyan must have had a rest just after he came back.

I didn't want to go back to the back house until I heard that Wang Xifeng was here, and I stayed in Ping'er's house temporarily.

But it turned out that when Wang Xifeng first arrived at Muni Courtyard, she still had the mentality of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, thinking that with the fresh bait of Yingchun hanging, the thief must have come uninvited. .

Although he knew that Jiao Shun was probably stumbled by the affairs of Zhan Shifu, he still held back his resentment.

I am pregnant with his child, and he still doesn't take himself seriously, so is this child pregnant for nothing?
The more I thought about it, the more it was worthless, so I just came to the door.

Of course, the reason given to the outside world is to come to discuss the opening of the store.

Shi Xiangyun hugged a pillow, and said listlessly: "Because I don't know much about opening a shop, so Sister Feng had to wait to see you, until she saw me yawn from time to time, and then went to Sister Ping'er's room. "

As he said, he said to Qingwen: "Go and ask, if Sister Feng hasn't fallen asleep yet, please invite her to come over."

In fact, as Wang Xifeng, it would be inappropriate to sleep in Jiao Shun's concubine's room, but first, Shi Xiangyun is pregnant now, so it is inconvenient to share the same room with her; No one is serious about this—Jia Lian, who is most qualified to be serious, doesn't have the guts to care about it now.

After Qingwen left, she dragged Xing Xiuyan to ask about the recent events in Peach Blossom Lane. When she heard that Xing Xiuyan had brought the draft of "Farewell My Concubine", she immediately became energetic and urged Xing Xiuyan Get the draft.

"Aren't you sleepy?"

Jiao Shun stepped forward and put his arms around her and said, "When will the draft be unreadable, wait until tomorrow..."

"Then I won't be able to sleep!"

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly begged: "Sister, go get it quickly, and I won't be late to sleep until I finish reading it!"

Seeing Jiao Shun nodding, Xing Xiuyan took out the draft and showed it to Shi Xiangyun.

At this time Qingwen came back and said: "Second Mistress said that she was afraid of disturbing the wife's rest, and said that if our master is not in a hurry to sleep, he might as well go to the West Wing to talk."

This is even more impolite.

Shi Xiangyun frowned slightly, but thinking that sister Feng was also pregnant now, he turned his attention back to the draft in front of him.

"This……"

Jiao Shun pretended to be hesitant, got up after a while and said: "Forget it, I sent her away earlier, so as to save her endless pestering."

As he said that, he told Xing Xiuyan to take good care of Shi Xiangyun, so that she wouldn't be sleepless all night because of her excitement.

Afterwards, Jiao Shun turned to the West Chamber, his feelings and scenes cannot be described in detail, but must be summarized, which is nothing but a vain talk.

…………

Fermented overnight.

The news that Mr. Wang Ge was recommended by Jiao Shun to serve as Zhan Shi in Zhan Shifu quickly spread throughout the court and the public.

As a result, most of the scholars’ evaluation of Mr. Wangge became more and more unbearable, but this did not prevent Mr. Wangge’s mansion from regaining its bustling scene—after all, being the East Palace Zhanshi meant that Mr. Wangge was almost He will definitely become one of the auxiliary ministers.

As for Jiao Shun...

At most, he is an assistant to the government, and he is still a little behind the minister.

in the palace.

Accompanying eunuch Li Zhong trotted to the gate of the palace, saw that Prince Yao was sitting on the threshold with his hands on his chin in a daze, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, Your Highness? If you have anything to do, you might as well tell your maidservant, and your maidservant will definitely take care of it for you." !"

The little guy was deaf to it, and didn't respond at all.

Seeing this, Li Zhong said again: "Your Highness, do you know who the Eastern Palace Zhan Shi was hand-picked by His Majesty? It was the old Wang Ge who came up with the Neo-Confucianism a while ago! What is even more incredible is that Jiao Shunjiao was the one who recommended him grown ups!"

"Previously, Wang Ge always wanted to pick peaches from engineering studies, but he was not merciless at all. Who would have thought that Mr. Jiao would recommend him on his own initiative, which shows that he is loyal to the country..."

"Little plum."

"The servant is here!"

Prince Yao interrupted Li Zhong's long speech, slowly raised his head, and asked in a muffled voice: "Father's dragon body, is it, is it already..."

"Your Highness be careful!"

Li Zhong's face turned pale with fright, and he said tremblingly: "The emperor is in the prime of his life, Ken Ken will surely last forever!"

Prince Yao curled his lips slightly, got up and patted his buttocks and said, "I'm going to Zhongcui Palace to pay my respects to my concubine."

In his mind, the one in the palace who can speak out to him is probably his biological mother, Concubine Wu Gui.

Naturally, Li Zhong couldn't stop Prince Yao from entering the filial piety, so he hurriedly took him to Zhongcui Palace.

When he arrived at Zhongcui Palace, Prince Yao, who was already impatient, trotted into the palace without waiting for the maids and eunuchs to tell him.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

The leading female officer was shocked and hurriedly chased after him, but when she reached the inner door, she stopped unconsciously.

Prince Yao opened the door without hesitation and broke in, only to find that his mother was washing her feet in the room, with one delicate and tender foot stepping on the basin, and the other stepping high on the person in front of her. on the bosom.

Taking a closer look, the one who supported Concubine Wu's bare feet with towering towers was not Concubine Rong, who else could it be?

"Concubine Rong?"

Prince Yao looked at the scene in front of him very puzzled, and didn't understand why Concubine Rong washed his mother's feet again.

Concubine Rong blushed all of a sudden, and subconsciously wanted to get up, but the pressure on her chest suddenly increased. She hesitated for a while, and finally knelt on the ground without getting up, but lowered her head in embarrassment.

Concubine Wu was also flustered at the scene of being smashed by someone, but when she saw that it was her son who came in, she immediately became calm again, and simply lifted her other foot out of the water, hanging it in front of Concubine Rong, waiting for Concubine Rong to panic After wiping it clean with a towel, he stepped on the towering tower on the other side in a grand manner.

At this moment, Concubine Wu Gui could be said to be complacent, but she didn't notice at all that Concubine Rong's drooping face was full of resentment and viciousness.
