The red building is so arrogant

But Aunt Zhao rushed to Qiushuangzhai excitedly, broke into the house, saw Tan Chun frowning over the account book, snatched the account book over, and said disdainfully, "You always know what's the use of this thing? After all, they all belong to others, how many pieces can you and your brother keep?!"

It was only at this moment that Tanchun realized that his mother had arrived, and he frowned even more, and said helplessly, "Auntie isn't staying at home, what are you doing here again?"

"Why, your mother, I can't come?!"

Aunt Zhao put her hands on her hips and raised her brows upside down, but then she thought of the purpose of her visit this time, and she couldn't help but rejoice and said, "Let me tell you, the master just called your brother, saying that he and Baoyu will follow Uncle Jiao together." Learn how to be an official and run errands—you said that if Baoyu has been so muddy and unable to support the wall, will his official duties have to be handed over to your brother?"

If he had heard such words before, Tanchun would most likely want to roll his eyes at Aunt Zhao, mocking her as wishful thinking.

But recently, I have gotten used to Baoyu's flamboyant operations, and feel that Huan Laosan may not be completely worthless.

Although they are also playboys, and Jia Huan's character and talent are obviously not as good as Baoyu's, but the good thing is that although he is more stubborn, he is still willing to do some superficial work anyway, unlike Baoyu who hangs his emotions on his face.

Especially now that Jiao Shun is gradually becoming a towering tree, even if Jia Huan has no great ability, relying on Jiao Shun's covert support in the future will be much better than Bao Yu who is holding back and not walking.

Of course, it is basically impossible for Jia Huan to replace Baoyu's official position. It's a set-not to mention that Baoyu's brother is not over yet.

At that moment she shook her head and said: "That's an official appointed by the imperial court, how can I give and receive it privately? But with Big Brother Jiao watching over him, as long as Brother Huan is willing to make progress, the future may not be worse than that of Second Brother."

"The designation is not bad!"

What Aunt Zhao said was categorical, and immediately went around behind the desk, arched Tanchun with her elbow, winked and said: "Should we use more strength, firstly, for your brother, secondly, I will help you hold him He, lest the verbal agreement be counted."

"you!"

Hearing her shameless hint, Tanchun felt ashamed and angry at once, wishing he could point at her nose and scold the prostitute, but he was also afraid that Aunt Zhao would say more unpleasant words if there was a real quarrel .

At that time, if others listen to it, then...

So the three girls took a deep breath, pointed to the door and shouted: "Get out!"

"You girl!"

Aunt Zhao immediately put her hands on her hips again, and said in disbelief, "I'm not doing it for your own good. Now that he's about to be promoted again, he may not be able to look up to you, a concubine girl. If... hey~ what are you doing?!"

Halfway through the talk, Tanchun didn't say a word, walked around her and walked out, and only said in front of the door: "If you don't go, I'll go!"

"This damn girl!"

Aunt Zhao chased to the door, but saw that Tanchun got on his bicycle in the morning, put the corner of his skirt on the beam, and went fast.

Seeing that she couldn't catch up, she stamped her feet and beat her chest angrily, gritted her teeth again after a while, and muttered bitterly: "If you can stop today, can you stop tomorrow? At worst, when you get married, the old lady will follow the usual Come and go!"

Not to mention how Aunt Zhao decided to change her job to take out food.

But she said that Tanchun left Qiushuangzhai angrily, and after riding around for a while, her mood gradually calmed down. After all these years, she has long been used to Aunt Zhao's unreasonable behavior.

What is really worth worrying about right now is the matter of the eldest sister Yuan Chun who is about to visit her relatives for the second time.

After hearing the news that day, Tanchun took back the account book silently. After all, the reason why he was in a hurry to pay the account and hand over the power was to help the family win over Sister Bao. It becomes a shirking of responsibility.

Out of emotion and reason, Tanchun would not do this.

So for now, she still has to face this matter directly as the housekeeper.

If it is still the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when I go home to visit relatives, Tanchun will most likely propose to be frugal, but Yuanchun is the first concubine to go home to visit relatives. It's just a joke, I'm afraid that someone will slander and be accused of contempt for the emperor's kindness.

Today's mansion can no longer withstand any turmoil.

Is it really necessary to mortgage the dividends of the tire shop?

Unless it is a last resort, Tanchun is determined not to let the mansion go down this road. After all, once the dividends from the shop are mortgaged, the mansion will lose half of its income every year.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Tanchun simply turned the front of the car and rode to the front yard, planning to ask Jiao Shun for an idea.

When they arrived at Rongxi Hall, they bumped into Sheyue looking outside, so they asked, "Is Uncle Jiao still inside?"

She Yue shook her head: "When Second Master came, Uncle Jiao happened to visit the old lady, and now Second Master and Third Master Huan are inside listening to Master's lecture."

When Tanchun heard the words, he went to the door and listened to them for a while, seeing that they were all clichés, he lost interest immediately, so he followed to the old lady's courtyard.

The words are divided into two parts.

But Jiao Shun was able to visit Jia Mu in person for the first time, and saw that the old lady had aged a lot, and she had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and her face, which was originally flat, also appeared gutters.

Jiao Shun greeted her, and it took her a long time to turn her eyes around, looked up and down Jiao Shun for a long time, opened her mouth, but obviously stuck, and couldn't utter a word.

Yuanyang sighed at the side: "The old lady has never recognized anyone, and the imperial doctor prescribed some prescriptions, which are good for eating and drinking, but... oh~!"

Mrs. Wang and Baochai were on duty today, and they all sighed rhythmically when they heard the mandarin ducks sigh. Mrs. Wang even wiped away tears half-truthfully.

Jiao Shun casually said a few words of relief, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I know that there is a female doctor who usually treats women and children in the palace. , it is only because she is a woman that she is not famous."

"There is such a person?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked: "I don't know how to invite her to treat the old lady?"

"It's not difficult, just leave it to me."

Jiao Shun signed the ticket and said: "When I get back, I will try to contact the female doctor, and bring her to visit the old lady for treatment in two days."

In fact, he didn't know any female doctor. He really underestimated Lin Daiyu's stubbornness and courage at the beginning. When he went to Peach Blossom Lane yesterday, sister Lin disguised herself to hide her head and showed her eyes, so she was about to come to Rongguo Mansion to visit her grandmother.

Jiao Shun refused to listen to every persuasion, so he had no choice but to agree.

This can be regarded as self-defeating and self-defeating.

Of course, Sister Lin's fake dress is definitely not going to work. He thought about adding some material to her clothes, and adding heightening pads to her shoes to create the illusion of being plump and tall. If the painting is thicker, you can probably get away with wearing a thick veil.

Mrs. Wang didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, so she was full of thanks in front of Xue Baochai.

Seeing that Jiao Shun was about to bid farewell and return to Rongxi Hall to start classes, Baochai suddenly expressed that she had missed sister Xiangyun a while ago.

Jiao Shun secretly thought it was a pity that he hadn't had time to do anything - the main reason was that Xiangling was too naive, and Qingwen was not very controllable, so he hadn't been able to find a suitable method.

At the moment, I could only laugh and said: "You have been together since you were young, and you are closer than your sisters. What is there to be thankful for? In this way, the younger brothers and sisters will let them clean up first, and when I finish my homework for Brother Bao, I will take it with me. They go back together."

When this matter was finalized, the happiest person was none other than Yinger who had just rushed over.

As the saying goes that people are refreshed on happy occasions, she couldn't help thinking of Xiren's bragging, so after Jiao Shun left, she urged Baochai to say, "Miss, I heard that the second master has been staying at home all day recently in order to keep his promise." If you study those official documents assiduously, you will almost have your head stabbed in the ass."

Having said that, she observed Baochai's expression, and then cautiously suggested: "Girl, why don't we go and have a look?"

In fact, she should have changed her name to 'Grandma' a long time ago, but if Xue Baochai wants to correct it in the face of Tanchun, it is even more impossible for her to call her that.

After hearing this, Xue Baochai gave Ying'er a look, and said calmly: "What's so interesting, if you were in another house, you should have learned these things a long time ago—let's go, let's go back and say goodbye to Xiangling and Qingwen."

"Oh~"

Seeing that her proposal was not accepted, Yinger had no choice but to agree, but then thought that Qingwen would be driven away soon, and her mood improved a lot.

Unexpectedly, the master and the servant just came out of the old lady's courtyard and bumped into Jia Tanchun head-on.

Baochai was the first to say hello: "The third younger sister also came to visit the old lady?"

Tanchun said honestly: "I heard that brother Jiao came here and wanted to ask him for advice, so..."

Baochai naturally understood what she wanted to ask for, so she shook her head and said, "The younger sister must have gone wrong with Brother Jiao, he just left for a while."

After hearing this, Tanchun waited to turn back to Rongxi Hall.

But Yinger on the side suddenly said: "Miss San, I heard that the second master has been working very hard recently, and I don't know if he can answer the exam well this time."

Tanchun subconsciously said: "After all, it is the first time to take the school exam, Brother Jiao will not have any problems if he thinks about it."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Ying'er secretly, then smiled and invited: "Sister Bao, why don't we go and have a look?"

Ying'er's invitation was easy to refuse, but Tanchun also came to invite, Xue Baochai couldn't refuse, especially since she knew that the three girls would not give up until they reached their goals, so she gave Ying'er a sideways look, nodded happily and said, "Then Go and see."

Ying'er was stared at by her and shrunk her neck. When she heard the girl agreeing, she was overjoyed. Although this act seemed to be overreaching, she thought that she was doing everything for the girl, so naturally she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. big problem.

So Baochai and Tanchun went together.

On the way, he couldn't help mentioning Yuanchun's family visit, and Xue Baochai said, "If you really don't want to get it together, I might have some pawns in my pocket..."

Although Mrs. Wang had made her idea earlier, it was just because of the deadlock between the two sides that she didn't have the nerve to open her mouth.

But now that she took the initiative to mention it, Tanchun waved her hands again and again and said, "How can I use my sister's body? I will discuss it with my wife, and we can always come up with a solution."

From Tanchun's point of view, Youdao is to eat people's mouths and take others' hands. Now that the husband and wife are in a cold war, if they take away Sister Bao's dowry at this time, how can they have the face to persuade her to compromise in the future?
Baochai had expected her to be like this, so he specifically mentioned it to her.

After all, even the servants knew that she had brought a lot of dowry as a dowry, so if she had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, it would not be an option. Now that Tanchun declined, they couldn't fault her.

It's not that Baochai refuses to donate the dowry to help the Rongguo Mansion overcome the difficulties, the main reason is that the mansion has not yet been forced to do so, and it will only show the value of her action when the fire is imminent.

No more words all the way.

Seeing the entrance of Rongxi Hall, Tanchun took Baochai to the porch, and pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation coming from inside.

At that time, Jiao Shun was standing in front of the coffee table in the middle, with a pleasant face, but still showing a condescending aura. Although Baoyu was not afraid of him, every time he heard him mention the importance of official documents, he would unconsciously want to bend over hunchback.

After clarifying the meaning at the beginning, Jiao asked a few relatively simple questions about the official documents he had sorted out.

As a result, Baoyu only answered three of the five questions.

That's all, the biggest problem is the two questions he didn't answer. Even if you haven't read the answers, as long as you think about it carefully, you can give some insights.

What Baoyu had read was based on the scriptures, but what he hadn't read was not at all willing to think about it.

Seeing this scene, Jia Zheng's expression turned a little bit bad, while Jia Huan shook his head to hide his gloating.

Outside, Tanchun felt a little regretful, she just listened to what Yinger said to be sure, and she really worked hard when she was the second elder brother, but listening to the answer inside, she was able to tell one, two, three things that she had never seen before. The second brother just...

At this time, Jiao Shun said helplessly: "Brother Bao, the answers to these questions are actually just for your reference, and you don't have to memorize them by rote—and if you can't give your own answers, how can I help you?" Correct the omissions and mistakes in it?"

Baoyu knew that he was timid, so he glanced at his father embarrassingly, and explained in a low voice: "The time is too short, I, I haven't had time to understand it."

"Humph~"

Jia Zheng snorted coldly: "You always like to show off your cleverness, how come you can't get enough of it when it comes to serious business?"

Baoyu was speechless.

Baochai outside the door didn't say a word, she turned her head and walked out.

"Sister Bao stay here."

Tanchun hurriedly followed, and when passing by Yinger, he couldn't help but give her a hard look.

At this time, Ying'er still doesn't know that she is self-defeating?

But where did she expect that Xiren would deceive her, and Baoyu would not even hold on to the only "way of life" in front of her?

I couldn't help but feel cold about Baoyu, and even annoyed Xiren. When I got home, I sent someone to return the four-color dim sum intact.
