The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 758 Picking Up [Part [-]]

Inside Rongxi Hall.

Jiao Shun, who had just arrived not long ago, was chatting with his son-in-law Jia Yun about official affairs, when he suddenly saw Xue Pan sneaking in from the outside, covering his face, glanced around, and walked towards this side come over.

Jiao Shun stopped talking and wondered, "What's wrong with you, toothache?"

"No, no."

Xue Pan covered his face and said vaguely: "Just now I accidentally let the cat scratch me."

Jiao Shun rolled his eyes when he heard the words: "Then this cat can jump high enough."

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Jiao Shun didn't continue to ask questions in front of everyone, but just pointed to the side casually, signaling him to sit down and talk.

As soon as Xue Pan took his seat, Jia Lian walked in with a gloomy face, gave this side a hard look, and then sat down beside Jia Huan from a distance.

Jia Huan was flattered for a while, and was about to have a chat with Jia Lian, but saw that his nose was not his nose and his eyes were not eyes, so he was too busy to talk.

At this time, there are seven or eight children in the close branch of the Jia family, but there are only a few who are eligible to enter the Rongxi Hall, and most of the rest are in the left and right flower halls. Crowds gathered in the courtyard under the corridor.

At this time, it was snowing outside again, and seeing many people shivering from the cold, Jiao ordered Jia Yun to come forward and temporarily set up a few stoves in the yard for those idle people to keep warm.

Just like that, when it was almost noon, the sentry flying horse came to report, saying that the empress's sedan chair had left the palace gate three quarters of an hour ago, and it was expected to arrive by noon at the latest.

Jia Zheng, who had been impatient for a long time, heard this, and immediately planned to take someone to the front gate to wait.

It was Jiao Shun and Jia Zhen who persuaded him, so he could barely restrain his impulse, and first ordered someone to bring food quickly, so that all the people inside and outside Rongxi Hall had a full meal, and then he ordered to go out to welcome him.

So Huhulala, a hundred people arrived at the main gate of Rongfu.

At the same time, the female relatives also rushed over with Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing.

Although the matter is urgent, there is still more than thirty feet between the two.

Xue Baochai stood silently in the front row, thinking about how to respond when she saw the empress, when she suddenly felt a peeping gaze.

Subconsciously, she thought it was Jiao Shun, but when she peeked at the men's team, she found that Jiao Shun was whispering something to Jia Zheng, and at the same time, the feeling of being spied on became stronger.

Who is so rude?

Baochai was full of displeasure, but there were so many people in this place, she couldn't look at the men one by one, so she had to turn her head to find Wang Xifeng and gossip, taking the opportunity to avoid the man's prying eyes.

Nearly half an hour later, Yuan Chun's phoenix chariot was slowly approaching surrounded by nearly a hundred palace people.

Seeing this, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang hurriedly greeted the men and women to kneel on both sides of the road and wait.

During the various and not detailed.

But when Jia Yuanchun returned home, the first thing he did was to visit his grandmother. When he saw the dying old lady's skinny appearance, he couldn't help crying. Everyone from Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing down were weeping, especially Jia Baoyu. Howling endlessly.

After crying like this for a quarter of an hour, everyone came forward to persuade him. Jia Yuanchun reluctantly bid farewell to the old lady, and entered the Grand View Garden on the same route as last time.

Because it was just crying, and it was not the first time to come back, the interest in visiting the garden was naturally lacking, so they only went through a scene, and then directly drove to the main hall of the Grand View Garden, and invited Mrs. Wang and others to talk to each other.

First came Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, who were elders, followed by sister-in-law Li Wan.

When it was Wang Xifeng's turn to step forward, Yuan Chun focused on her lower abdomen for a while, then joked with a smile: "I heard that there was a estrangement between the younger siblings and the Lian brothers, but now I think it's healed?"

She had just learned from Mrs. Wang that Wang Xifeng was pregnant, so she took it for granted that it was Jia Lian's offspring, so she said this.

Rao is Wang Xifeng's city mansion, at this moment he couldn't help but feel hot, and said embarrassingly: "It's all thanks to your mother."

Yuan Chun only said that she was ashamed, and after all, she was pregnant during the filial piety period, so it is not easy to announce it in public, so she just smiled, and turned her eyes to Baoyu and Baochai who followed closely to greet her.

In fact, it is reasonable to say that men are not easy to approach, but last time Baoyu got this honor, this time is no exception.

Before Xue Baochai could perform all the rituals, Yuan Chun hurriedly helped her up and smiled, "I don't want a character like my sister, after all, Baoyu is cheap - I have always been worried that he is stubborn and insensible, and in the future I will have my sister to remind me. My heart can finally let go."

As he spoke, he took Baoyu's hand back and stuffed it into Xue Baochai's palm, saying, "From now on, I will entrust this younger brother to you."

This is almost a replica of the old lady's forced peace on the wedding night!

The difference is that Yuan Chun represents the supreme imperial power. Although the hand is weak and boneless, it seems to be rich in gold when it is placed on Baochai's bright wrist.

Although Baochai was totally unwilling, but because of Yuanchun's status and power, she could only watch Baoyu's hand slowly cover her own.

"It's not good, the water is gone, the water is gone!"

However, just when the two were about to come into contact, there was a sudden chaos outside.

Baochai's thoughts changed, and she immediately took advantage of the situation to take out her hand, turned around and looked out of the hall in astonishment.

Baoyu's hand was empty, he was a little disappointed, and he was inexplicably relieved. To cover up his embarrassment, he hurriedly looked outside the hall.

Seeing his husband and wife being like this, Jia Yuanchun sighed inwardly, turned to Tanchun and asked, "Third sister, why did you suddenly get out of the water?"

Tanchun was in charge of all matters related to the reception, and suddenly heard a sudden fire outside, and was also very anxious. Hearing Yuan Chun's question, she immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, wait a moment, I'll check it out right away!"

With that said, he left the hall in a hurry.

When he arrived at the gate of the hall, he set up an awning and looked around at the smoky area, then asked: "Then the place where the water flows is the Red Fragrance Garden?"

"Girl with good eyesight, she is Hongxiangpu!"

Someone next to him replied immediately.

Tanchun's brows were upside down, and he said angrily, "This time, the Red Fragrance Garden has not been opened yet, so how could those who counted nine cold winters suddenly go into the water?!"

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and there were two women in the crowd who obviously looked wrong.

Tanchun saw it clearly, and immediately raised his finger to point at those two people and asked, "Tell me, you two, what's going on?!"

One of the women was so frightened that she fell to her knees, and the one next to her didn't kneel at first, but when she saw that her companion was already kneeling, she immediately knelt down beside her.

Tanchun strode towards the two of them, and on the way, he grabbed an eight-treasure glazed lamp, and he held it in his hand like a meteor hammer, pointed at the two and said sharply: "Now if you confess, you can get a lighter sentence. Fa Luo, if you find out, don't blame your aunt for not giving you a chance!"

The two women were frightened to death, and when they saw that she was about to hit her, they quickly grabbed their heads and said: "Third Miss, spare my life, Third Miss, spare my life! We don't know how this fire started, but, just once Several barrels of lamp oil are stored in the Hongxiang garden."

"kerosene?"

As soon as Jia Tanchun's wonderful eyes turned, he knew what was going on, and couldn't help sneering: "Okay, okay, I've repeated my orders, but I still can't prevent you house thieves! Now that such a catastrophe has occurred, hum, I There is no way to explain to the master and wife, I just drag you thieves to go to the empress to plead guilty!"

When the two maids heard that they were going to plead guilty in front of the empress, they were so frightened that they kowtowed to beg for mercy.

But Tanchun didn't bother to pay attention to them, leaving Shishu and Suyun to press them and ask them about their accomplices, while he led his people towards Hongxiangpu.

When they arrived at the Red Fragrance Garden, they saw that Jiao Shun and Jia Lian were already here, directing the people to cut down the trees and flowers near the Red Fragrance Garden.

Seeing this, Tanchun went straight to Jiao Shun and asked, "Brother Jiao, is it possible that this fire is already unextinguishable?"

"I don't know who put lamp oil in it, and now we can only wait for it to fend for itself." Jiao Shun said, and handed Tanchun a confession statement: "The reason for the fire was that some servants thought it was cold, and I saw that the empress had already died. After entering the main hall, I hid in the red incense garden and lit a fire to keep warm, but who knew that I accidentally ignited the lamp oil piled inside."

When Tanchun heard the words, he immediately connected the cause and effect to one place.

After all, it was because of the lack of strict control, which caused the servants to steal, rape and play tricks, which led to such a catastrophe.

But she was really wronged in her heart. As the saying goes, a clever woman can't live without rice. The cost of picking up the driver this time is less than one-fifth of what it was two years ago. She made repeated orders every day to make an example of others, but she still couldn't suppress this unhealthy trend.

Seeing that the three girls were sad, Jiao Shun didn't care if there were other people around, he directly stretched out his hand to hold her catkin, and whispered comfortingly: "These days you have worked day and night, we are all watching, If my uncle and aunt punish me for this, I will be the first to not agree."

Tan Chun's heart warmed up, but he didn't shirk his responsibility because of it, he shook his head and said: "In the end, I haven't thought through enough, if I sent people to check it out earlier, there wouldn't be such a mess."

She is so strong, and now that there is trouble in this day when everyone is watching her, one can imagine the loss and frustration in her heart.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun was still waiting to be relieved, but she forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, brother, I won't be looking for death because of such things—the empress is still waiting for news, I'll take a step ahead, and I'll leave it to my brother here." gone."

As he spoke, he gently pushed Jiao Shun away, and hurriedly led them back to the main hall of the Grand View Garden.

The words are divided into two parts.

But when Tanchun stepped out of the hall, Jia Baoyu couldn't help thinking wildly: last time the old lady wanted to make peace, but suffered a catastrophe; Get back together with Sister Bao?
Or Jing Qing and Sister Lin...

bah bah bah~
Sister Lin is fine, how can I put her on a par with Jing Qing?
Combined with the incident of throwing jade before, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Qin Zhong did it secretly, otherwise how could such a coincidence happen?

Not only did he think it was a coincidence, even Xue Baochai couldn't help being suspicious.

Last time the old lady was so angry that she fell ill, and it could be said that it was because Yinger suddenly pierced the window paper, and now she suddenly caught fire...

"Baoyu, Baoyu?"

At this time, Mrs. Wang's call woke up the couple at the same time.

Xue Baochai immediately replied Qingming, but Jia Baoyu was still a little dazed, looking at her mother for no reason.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but secretly sighed when she saw his disappointing appearance, and she became more determined to train Jia Lan instead, and at the same time reminded her: "Your sister asked how your homework is going."

"Uh……"

When Jia Baoyu heard that he was asking about homework, he suddenly felt dizzy, but he couldn't tell the truth in front of his sister, so he could only pretend to be honest: "Recently, I have been learning the way of governing the government from Brother Jiao. I can’t help being a little slack in poetry and articles.”

He wanted to get a vaccination in advance, so as not to be too embarrassed when his sister couldn't answer the school homework.

Jia Yuanchun laughed and said, "It's the right way to be an official, how can it be considered slack? But I don't know what you have learned from Jiao Zhan's affairs?"

"This... is that Brother Jiao has assigned a good homework first, and will be assessed every once in a while..."

Baoyu said vaguely, but Yuanchun became more and more interested. After all, when Jiao Shun taught the prince, he was known for his whimsy and ingenuity. Maybe he really has a way to make his stubborn brother How about training?

Immediately said: "Go and get the homework for me to see."

Jia Baoyu yelled "Ku Ye" inwardly, and prepared to bite the bullet and go back to Yihong Courtyard to get homework.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Chun stopped him again and said, "Let the maids go get it."

On the side, Mrs. Wang immediately ordered someone to send a message to Xiren Sheyue.

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu became more and more restless.

Just as he was scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, he saw Tanchun striding in from the outside, knelt down in front of the steps in the middle, and said in a loud voice: "Madam, the matter has been found out, it's because of my incompetence and lax discipline that made several A servant woman secretly stole lamp oil and hid it in the red incense garden, and it happened that someone went there to relax and enjoy the fire, so she left and frightened the empress."

As he spoke, he lowered his body and said, "Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The hall was silent.

Mrs. Wang was hesitating whether to stand up and intercede for Tanchun, Yuan Chun had already stepped down the steps quickly, helped Tanchun up with her own hands and said, "Why should my sister do this? Although I have been in the palace for a long time, I also know my sister's difficulties—— And what's even more rare is that you can be so frank and not blame others!"

After a pause, he couldn't help sighing again: "If my sister is a man, I will have no worries in the palace."

After speaking, he dragged Tanchun back to the steps.

At this time, Xiren and Sheyue also hurriedly sent Baoyu's "homework".

When Yuanchun is unfolded, you can see that there are countless words written densely on the surface, but when you look closely, it turns out that the word "Jingqing" has been written countless times.

Because Yuan Chun got the news in the palace, he naturally knew who this 'Jing Qing' was, and his expression sank immediately.

When I read down, I either miss Qin Zhong or try to write the story of "Farewell My Concubine", sometimes with some reasoning and meditation in it, but I haven't written any serious homework.

Looking at Jiao Shun's carefully prepared official document template and the common sense questionnaire, she could hardly bear to scold Baoyu on the spot.

But Yuan Chun finally endured Xue Baochai, who was swept aside, and commented lightly: "It's still hard work."

Handing these 'homework' to Mrs. Wang for collection, she didn't want to look at Baoyu any more, and instead asked, "Where is Sister Xiangyun? Please come and see me!"
