The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 754 Picking Up [Part [-]]

Flash forward to the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.

That afternoon, Yinger stomped off the slush on her feet in front of the study door, and when she walked in through the curtain, she found that Xue Baochai was still in a daze, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows secretly, no matter how wronged she was before, the girl had never been so distraught But after being alone with Uncle Jiao that day...

From this, Ying'er became more and more certain of her speculation, and Baochai was startled by a dry cough, and reported: "Nurse Zhang just sent word that there will be a rehearsal in the main hall this afternoon."

Although the Rongguo mansion had already practiced the etiquette of picking up the driver two years ago, according to the rules, they still had to go through the formalities.

"understood."

Subconsciously, Xue Baochai wanted to turn a page of the book, but soon felt that there was too much money in this place, so she sighed slightly and said, "You have someone go to the main hall to watch, and we will go when someone goes. "

Ying'er agreed and turned around and left the study.

Xue Baochai stared at the shaking cotton curtain, and couldn't help sighing again.

She didn't know what kind of demon she was possessed that day, but she actually messed around with Jiao Shun for a while, and even tolerated his "joke" that went beyond the limit to a certain extent. Every time she recalled it in recent days, Baochai felt a little unbelievable .

This doesn't seem like something she can do at all!
But I regret it, and every time I think about it, there is surprisingly little annoyance and rejection.

Thinking about the reason carefully, it is really that the resentment and unwillingness that have been accumulated continuously for more than a month have almost burned her insides. Once vented, it is enough to make her lose her former calm.

[Interlude: Questioning that Baochai changed his face when he turned around. It should be noted that although there are only a few lines in the book, there is actually a month's difference between before and after. 】

But only this time!

Xue Baochai secretly made up her mind that she must never do this again in the future, otherwise once someone finds out, she will be doomed.

Just thinking about it, she began to worry about how to deal with Yinger again.

Since that day, the little hoof has obviously misunderstood deeper—of course, it’s not all misunderstandings to a certain extent—she had already made her own decision last time, creating opportunities for herself and Jiao Shun to be alone, and it’s uncertain in the future. What will happen!
It's definitely useless to explain, so let's send her down if you want, but after all, they have been together since childhood as sisters.

What's more, there are not many people around me who need to use it. If Ying'er is lost, it may not be successful if she replaces another one, and she may even be wooed by the Rongguo Mansion. At that time, instead of creating herself and Jiao Shun alone, she will do everything possible. He tied himself and Baoyu together.

Comparing the two, she is more...

"girl."

At this time, Yinger turned back and reported: "Just got the letter, my wife and uncle have already arrived at the intersection!"

Xue Baochai hurriedly put those messy thoughts behind her, got up and said, "Come on, let's go to the Chuihua Gate and wait."

…………

at the same time.

Jiao Shun, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, Baoyu, Jia Qiang, Jia Rong and Jia Yun are gathering in Luxue nunnery to have wine.

Seeing Jia Zhen and his son holding Jiao Shun all the time, Jia Lian felt a little unhappy—in fact, not only Jia Zhen and his son, but even the eunuch sent by the palace to teach etiquette looked at Jiao Shun differently.

Thinking about Wang Xifeng's big belly all day long, and Shi Xiangyun's appearance of "standing shoulder to shoulder" with Shi Xiangyun, the anger in his heart became even greater, and he simply got up and said it was convenient to go, and wandered outside alone.

I was in a daze in the snow, when I suddenly heard someone calling from behind, but when I turned around, it was Jia Rong who chased me out.

He couldn't help raising his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you come out?"

"I just ate a few more cups, and my stomach was burning, so I came out to eat some food." Jia Rong smiled and approached him, and asked, "It's you, second uncle, why did you seem to be a little indifferent to uncle just now? "

Hearing him affectionately address Jiao Shun as 'uncle', Jia Lian exhaled some turbid air from his nostrils, and said with a sneer, "What kind of uncle does he call you? Bah~ a villain succeeds!"

Jia Rong sneered twice, and persuaded: "After all, it is not the same as before. Second Uncle, you can understand it in your heart, but don't dare to talk nonsense in front of him-- Besides, isn't Third Aunt just wanting to marry in the past? Aunt Shijia is far away. Somehow, Third Aunt can't be called an outsider, can she?"

"Humph~"

Jia Lian raised her head proudly: "So what's the point? I'm not as timid as you are. No matter what he does, he's just a clown in my eyes!"

Hearing his loud voice, Jia Rong hurriedly looked around in fright and saw that there was no one else around. She was a little relieved, but she didn't dare to provoke Jia Lian to say strange things anymore, and said awkwardly: "Second Uncle, it's cold outside. I, I'm going back first."

As he said that, he turned back to Lu Xue'an as if he was running away.

Jia Lian watched him flee hastily with a look of disdain, proudly thinking that now in the entire Rongguo Mansion, I am afraid that I am the only one who can be neither humble nor overbearing in front of that dog slave.

Thinking about it this way, my mood immediately improved a lot.

Unexpectedly, not long after Jia Rong fled back, she saw Jiao Shun and Jia Zhen leading the way, and everyone came out of Luxue Temple with a whimper.

"Brother Lian~"

From a long distance, Jia Zhen waved repeatedly.

Jia Lian still wanted to give him some face, so he walked up to him and asked curiously, "Brother Zhen, why did you all come out?"

"Didn't you hear that Wenlong is here? Let's all go and greet him."

As Jia Zhen spoke, she glanced at Jiao Shun out of the corner of her eye. In fact, if Jiao Shun hadn't been there to greet her, Xue Pan wouldn't be worth mobilizing so many people?

Jia Lian suddenly heard the word 'Wenlong', but his complexion changed drastically. He stopped and said awkwardly: "This... I won't go. I don't know if there is any arrangement in the hall. I am going to go to inspect .”

Saying that, without waiting for Jia Zhen to say anything else, she made a sharp turn and walked away.

"What happened to Lian's second brother?"

Seeing this, Jia Zhen couldn't help but wondered: "It seems that someone is chasing after him."

Jiao Shun watched Jia Lian go away thoughtfully, and then said with a smile: "Besides Baoyu, he is the main force to meet the driver seriously, so he is more concerned than us all - let's go, go, don't make brother Xue wait. "

They talked and laughed again and went to the front yard to welcome them, but Baoyu hung his head and said nothing.

When they got to the two gates, they met Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, Xue Baochai and Jia Lan who were coming out to welcome them.

Jia Zhen and Jiao Shun hurriedly led the crowd to salute.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but wondered when she saw the appearance of inspiring teachers and mobilizing the crowd: "You are..."

"I heard that Brother Wenlong is coming, let's go to meet him."

It was still Jia Zhen who answered.

Mrs. Wang's eyes fell on Baoyu, and seeing him shrunk at the end, almost at the same level as Jia Yun, she sighed slightly: "I should come to greet you."

Then there is no text.

After the ceremony, the women went first, and Jia Lan naturally turned to the men's team. Looking at Second Uncle Bao beside him, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

Although his grandmother came to his senses and began to value his eldest grandson, which made Jia Lan very happy, but he didn't want to see his uncle sink like this. He wanted to have a talk with his second uncle, but he didn't know what to do when he saw him in a state of despair. Open your mouth.

After the women had passed through the two gates, Jia Zhen and Jiao Shun led the team to continue to greet them.

When they arrived at the Chuihua Gate, Aunt Xue and Xue Pan had also arrived, and they were booing around Xue Baochai to ask for warmth, but they left Mrs. Wang aside.

Seeing this scene, Jia Zhen couldn't help but look back at Baoyu.

Baoyu shrank his neck, wishing he could hide behind Jia Lan.

Jiao Shun was the first to meet Aunt Xue, and said with a smile to Xue Pan: "Wenlong came just in time, if he was later, we wouldn't be able to eat wine."

Xue Pan wondered, "Why?"

Jia Zhen rushed back and said, "I don't know when the empress will arrive tomorrow. If I get drunk at night, it won't be a waste of time."

After the two of them met the ceremony, everyone turned their attention to Jia Baoyu. Baoyu was stared at him like a light, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward to respect his mother-in-law.

Aunt Xue stared at him for a while before responding indifferently.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang was afraid that Baoyu would make another joke, so she hurried forward and pulled Aunt Xue to let her in.

As for Xue Pan, Jiao Shun was naturally reserved for a few receptions.

Jiao Shun first led him to see Jia Zheng, and then went to Lu Xue'an for a drink.

During this period, although Xue Pan was honest with Jia Baoyu, he rarely took the initiative to provoke him. Everyone said that he had changed his temper, and they were secretly amazed.

When the wine was half drunk, Jiao Shun got up and greeted Xue Pan to go out together for convenience, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he asked with a straight face, "Wenlong, do you have something to hide from me?"

After a pause, he added: "Things related to this mansion!"

Xue Pan was stunned for a moment, then patted his thigh and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my brother, so I'll just tell the truth, Baoyu's jade was taken by me!"

Jiao Shun just felt that there was something wrong with Xue Pan and Jia Lian, so he lied to him, but he didn't want to, but asked about the whereabouts of the psychic gem. He looked around, hurriedly dragged Xue Pan out of Luxue Temple, and looked Asked about the whereabouts of someone behind the back.

"That day I wasn't...hehe, I tore it up later, and it was torn off easily!"

But it turned out that Xue Pan had failed to open his mind that morning, and when he was tearing and shoving, he accidentally pulled off the psychic gem. He was angry, so naturally he couldn't take the initiative to return it, so he took it off.

Jiao Shun couldn't help being amazed when he heard this, it wasn't that he was surprised that Xue Pan had bought the psychic gem, but that he could not show off this time and dragged him to the Rongguo Mansion to give up looking for it.

He was about to tell Xue Pan to hide the things well and don't let anyone know about them, but suddenly his heart moved again, and he scolded with a straight face: "Nonsense! If outsiders find out about this, can there be a good thing? What about the things? You Where are you hiding?!"

"Here, here."

Xue Pan shrank his neck, and immediately took out something from his bosom, but what else could it be if it wasn't the psychic jade?
only……

"Why is this jade missing a corner?"

"Hehe~"

Xue Pan scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "I saw that Baoyu can't be broken, so I tried it casually, but it broke all at once."

Jiao Shun rolled his eyes when he heard this, and put the jade into his arms casually: "Then let no outsiders know about it! I'll keep it for you first, and think of a safe way to deal with it."

Xue Pan was a little anxious: "Brother, you must never return Baoyu! As for what his mother did, I wish I could take out his fancy intestines, chop them up and feed them to the dogs!"

"Don't worry, can I still sell you?"

Jiao Shun comforted him, and repeatedly told him not to leak the news, this time he led him back to Luxue Nunnery.

Not long after, someone from the main hall sent to invite them, saying that there would be one last rehearsal.

Jiao Shun followed the crowd to the main hall of the Grand View Garden, but he didn't rush in. He went around twice and found Suyun, Li Wan's maidservant, and asked her to call Yinger out.

When Ying'er heard that Jiao Shun had been summoned, she immediately remembered what she had told her before the dowry, and looked for her expectantly, but as soon as she saw Jiao Shun's figure, her heart thumped.

If it was three or five years ago, such a vicious person like Jiao Shun would not have caught her eyes at all.

But looking at Uncle Jiao now, he is full of majesty and dignity. On the contrary, Second Master Bao looks like he will never grow up, which makes people look down upon.

"Jiao, Uncle Jiao."

After a timid salute, Ying'er asked obediently, "You are looking for me, but what do you want to tell me?"

Seeing this pretty girl with lowered eyebrows and smooth eyes and red eyes, Jiao Shun felt more confident, so he said seriously, "I called you because I have an important matter, and I want to tell sister Xue through you."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Wenlong just gave me the psychic jade."

Ying'er was stunned for a moment, and then covered her mouth with all her strength, so as not to exclaim out loud.

After a long while, she said nervously: "That thing, how could that thing be in the hands of the uncle?!"

Jiao Shun repeated what Xue Pan had told him, and then said: "I've put the jade away properly now, but after thinking about it, I should tell you girls about it—turn back and let it go." She kindly reminded Wenlong, but don't let this news out!"

Ying'er quickly pecked at the chicken she nodded.

Even though the Rongguo Mansion has given up looking for the psychic jade now, but if this matter is revealed, there will still be a storm - my girl is still in the right now, if the Xue family is involved in the jade-stealing incident, How Rongguo Mansion's attitude will change is hard to say.

Seeing that she agreed, Jiao Shun took off a bead string from her wrist and handed it to Ying'er, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Ying'er seemed to have been scalded, and hurriedly evaded: "No, no! I and the girl are of one mind, I will do what the girl does, I don't need it, I don't need it..."

As he said that, his face turned rosy unconsciously.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun pinched her catkin and said with a smile, "I know you are the most trustworthy person, otherwise I wouldn't be able to give you my belongings."

When he said that while clutching her little hand, Ying'er felt her heart was about to jump out, she faltered and finally took Jiao Shun's 'personal items', and put them into her bosom with great care.

At this time, Jiao Shun sighed again: "Oh, at the beginning, it was said that it was a golden and jade marriage, but I didn't want this jade to come into my hands after going around. I really don't know if it is God's will, or..."

This is exactly what the speaker intends and the listener intends.

Ying'er heard the words and immediately thought about it. Could it be that the theory of a golden and jade marriage was not actually due to Baoyu, but...

It must be so!
She touched the bracelet with Yu Wen on her body, and unconsciously turned her doubts into certainties.
