The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 771 Supplementary Changes Achieved
In the side hall near Rongxi Hall.

After exchanging pleasantries with Jia Zheng, without waiting for him to explain clearly why he came here, Jiao put ten 1000 taels of silver bills on the table, pushed them slowly, and said apologetically at the same time: "Uncle, forgive me. Although I work in the Department of General Affairs of the Ministry of Industry, I have made too many enemies. I dare not take what others don't take, and I may not dare to take what others take, so..."

Seeing Jiao Shun like this, Jia Zheng wanted to explain that he didn't come to him this time to borrow money.

But then he thought that his mother was going to have a funeral in a few days, and the family couldn't even get the money for the funeral—he didn't know that Xue Baochai took out 2 taels for emergency—the explanation stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it for a long time. exit.

After all, he is still a dutiful son.

In the end, he could only hide his face in embarrassment and said: "The family is unlucky, and Changqing made you laugh. Don't worry, I will return the money to you as soon as possible."

After speaking, he was almost on the verge of tears.

The Rongguo Mansion used to be so prestigious, but now it has to borrow money from the former slave in order to pay the funeral for the old lady.

Ashamed of the ancestors, really ashamed of the ancestors!

After being sad for a while, he remembered that he was looking for Jiao Shunlai this time, but Zhou Gong is a good face. He just borrowed money from him, and then asked him to help him make up his mind. He always felt that he was too pushy.

So he hesitated for a while, and simply evaded: "This time, your aunt is actually looking for you to discuss something. She should be in the Qingtang hut at the moment."

Jiao Shun was speechless when he heard the words. Just now he put on a posture of listening attentively. Who would have thought that Jia Zheng would hold back such a sentence in the end.

But this is also in his arms.

So he bid farewell to Jia Zheng and went to the Grand View Garden.

After entering the door, he didn't rush to Mrs. Wang's side, but walked around the night watch spots with ease.

Not long after, a woman followed quietly.

Jiao Shun pulled her to whisper a few words, then suddenly slapped her thigh with joy and said: "This is really God helping me!"

After finishing speaking, Shi Shiran went to the hut in Qingtang after explaining something in his ear.

When I arrived in the courtyard, Xue Baochai and Ying'er appeared first, but it turned out that Mrs. Wang got the 2 taels of silver. After being moved, she specially stayed Baochai for dinner in the hut in Qingtang.

After eating and drinking, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking to each other, when they heard that Jiao Shun was coming, Xue Baochai hurriedly took the opportunity to leave.

"Siblings."

Jiao Shun called out, and then lowered his head without looking sideways.

Seeing him like this, Xue Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, and said "Brother Jiao" faintly, and then led Ying'er past him.

After the other two servant girls also slanted down to meet, Xue Baochai breathed a sigh of relief—after all, Ying'er had a criminal record, if there were only two servant girls, she would never be at ease.

But for some reason, although she did not trust Yinger, she did not alienate Yinger in the end.

But it was said that the master and the servants left the hut in Qingtang, walked half a mile along the lake bank, and saw lights in the gazebo in front of them.

Coincidentally, it was exactly the place where Jiao Shun took Baochai to ski.

Baochai glanced twice subconsciously, and suddenly the light rushed out of the gazebo, and quickly moved towards this side.

Baochai stopped and stared carefully, and saw a thin, tall woman with big eyes flashing vaguely in the approaching light.

At this time, the woman took a few steps and saw clearly who Baochai was. She immediately showed a surprised expression and said awkwardly: "So it's the second grandma Bao, I think it's the third girl or the eldest grandma."

Xue Baochai didn't do anything, but Ying'er was irritated by these words, and asked with her hands on her hips, "What does Aunt Qin's words mean? Is it our aunt... Is it our grandma who shouldn't come, or..."

"No no no!"

The woman quickly waved her hand: "I just encountered something and I don't know how to deal with it, so I want to report it to the third girl or grandma..."

Halfway through the talk, she was surprised that this was even more inappropriate. Doesn't it mean that Baochai doesn't care about things?

So he hurriedly changed his mind and said: "Now that I see Second Grandma Bao, I have a solid foundation in my heart!"

As he said, he took out an envelope in a panic and was about to hand it to Xue Baochai.

But halfway through the delivery, she hesitated, looked at Yinger and the two little maids, and said hesitantly, "Can Miss Yinger please avoid it for a while, and I will report to Second Mistress alone?"

Xue Baochai also recognized at this time that the person who came was Qin Xian's mother-in-law, Yang Shi, who has been in charge of night watch affairs since the Grand View Garden was built.

And looking at her appearance, it was obvious that something was wrong.

Originally, according to Xue Baochai's mind, one more thing is worse than one less thing, but when she got to this point, it would be hypocritical for her to evade, so she waved her hand to signal Ying'er and the others to step aside.

Only then did Yang hand the envelope to Baochai: "Second Grandma, I just picked this up on the road, and there are really some things in it—oh, you can tell at a glance."

Seeing her ambiguity, Xue Baochai opened the envelope with her onion fingers, and twisted out a piece of cardboard from inside.

This seems to be a photo taken by Brother Jiao, right?

I remember that he wanted to get a wedding photo for himself and Baoyu before, but in the end...

Unconsciously, she was a little dazed, so Yang raised the lantern in her hand to help her illuminate the photo in her hand.

Xue Baochai subconsciously looked at it carefully, and then with a sound of "Yah", the photo in his hand fell to the ground together with the envelope.

"What happened?!"

Not far away, Yinger heard that something was wrong, and rushed over to protect the master. Seeing the envelope fell on the ground, she subconsciously wanted to help pick it up.

"do not move!"

Xue Baochai let out a low growl, then stooped to pick up the photo and the envelope regardless of his posture, and then covered the photo with his body and stuffed the photo back into the envelope, before getting up slowly with a blushing face.

"girl?"

Yinger just looked at it inexplicably.

Baochai didn't explain, but bit her lower lip and said: "You avoid it for a while, and don't come here without my invitation."

Seeing that she was slightly unhappy, Ying'er had no choice but to stand with the two little maids suspiciously.

Baochai took a deep breath and said seriously, "Where did you find it?"

"It's near here!"

Yang pointed behind her, and said with a bitter face: "I thought someone's letter had been left behind, because I saw that it was not sealed, so I opened it and took a look - I can't read, so I didn't even think about it." I can see it clearly, but who knows...it's really offensive, immoral!"

It's really outrageous.

If it was a picture, Xue Baochai could still understand it, but the content in this picture is a scene that really happened!
How can a woman take pictures like this?
How shameless!
How could a man take pictures like this?
What a shameless obscenity!
She slandered a few words, but couldn't help wondering who the owner of this thing was.

A photo is different from a portrait. Not everyone can draw it. There must be a real scene corresponding to it.

I heard that Brother Rong from Dongfu often plays with these things recently, and then Baoyu, he seems to have asked Brother Jiao to do something for Tuxin back then, but I haven't heard much about him playing with them.

Apart from these two, Jiao Shun naturally couldn't escape the suspicion.

So to say……

Baochai put on a serious face and said to Yang: "Don't spread the word about this matter, or I will spare you, and the master and wife will certainly not spare you!"

"Don't, don't dare!"

Yang hurriedly said: "Second Mistress, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut! If you dare to spread the word, you will be hit with a thunderbolt!"

Seeing her swearing and swearing, Baochai nodded in satisfaction, then took out two golden beans and handed them to Yang Shi, "Then you step back first, I will discuss this matter with my sister-in-law. , let me borrow this lantern first."

"You use it, you use it as you like!"

Yang happily handed the lantern to Baochai, and went away with the golden bean in her hand.

Baochai waited for her to go far away, and immediately hung the lantern on a nearby tree, and carefully took out a photo by the light, covering most of it with her hands, leaving only one face to observe carefully.

But it was different from what Baochai had expected, a very strange face came into view.

This made Baochai a little puzzled. Normally, she had met most of the women in the Rongning Second Mansion and even the Jiao family.

Did I guess wrong, this photo was not taken by the three of them?

Or was it taken by outsiders?
It can be seen that although this woman has a disheveled bun and a haggard face, there is still a bit of nobility in her brows, obviously she is not a romantic woman.

Baochai was hesitating whether to see all the photos, but suddenly she heard Yinger call out "girl" behind her, she shuddered, and almost threw the envelope and photos out again.

Trying to calm down, she turned her head and was about to scold Ying'er, but she saw Ying'er pointing to the bank and saying, "It seems that Uncle Jiao is coming this way."

Xue Baochai's heart moved when she heard the words, she looked up and thought about the direction she was pointing at, and she saw a burly figure walking towards this side in a zigzag pattern with a lantern, at a very slow speed, stopping every now and then Lanterns were lowered to light the ground.

This is clearly looking for something!
Disgust flashed in Xue Baochai's eyes, she put the photo back into the envelope, and stuffed it to Ying'er, "Go and ask, if Uncle Jiao lost it, you... you can return it to him."

She actually wanted Ying'er to fall directly on Jiao Shun's face, but she held back in the end.

Ying'er heard that Jiao Shun had dropped something, so she hurriedly went up to meet her with the letter.

Baochai watched from afar, seeing that the two hadn't spoken a few words, Jiao Shun took the envelope as expected, then turned around with a sneer and left—she thought Jiao Shun was at least better than Jia Rong at first, whoever would succeed? Want to be so dirty secretly!

Just a dozen steps away, Yinger's urgent shout came from behind.

But Baochai didn't slow down, and led the two little maids to walk a long way, only to be caught up by Yinger who was out of breath.

"Girl, girl stay behind!"

Ying'er said out of breath, "Uncle Jiao said something important, so I need to explain it to you!"

Baochai frowned when she heard this, and said in a deep voice, "What is there to explain at night? Really, let him say it in front of his wife tomorrow!"

As he spoke, he wanted to move forward.

"girl!"

Ying'er hurriedly stopped her with her arms crossed, and said anxiously: "Uncle Jiao said it's a matter of great urgency, it concerns the life and death of our two families!"

Life or death?

Subconsciously, Xue Baochai turned her head and saw Jiao Shun catching up from behind, she couldn't help but sneered and said, "Forget it, then just listen to what he has to say."

In fact, he decided that Jiao Shun was catching up and was preparing to make excuses with himself.

Not long after, Jiao Shun came up to him, seeing Xue Baochai's pretty face with a cold face, as if he saw something disgusting, he couldn't help laughing twice, and said to the two little maids: "You two step back for a while."

Because Ying'er was still there, the two little maids did not hesitate to retreat about ten steps away.

Facing Baochai's disgusted gaze, Jiao Shun sighed slightly, and said helplessly, "My sister seems to have seen the photos in it, so misunderstandings are inevitable, but this matter is really not what you think."

Xue Baochai didn't respond, but continued to stare at Jiao Shun coldly.

Jiao Shun scratched his head in distress, and said sadly, "Come on, my sister is not an outsider, so I'll tell the truth—do you know who is in this photo?"

"who is it?"

Xue Baochai finally spoke, but he cherished words like gold.

Jiao Shun cautiously looked around, and deliberately moved closer. Seeing this, Baochai was about to retreat, when he suddenly heard him whisper: "It's the concubine Rong from the palace."

Although the voice was soft, it fell to Baochai's ears like thunder.

"how is this possible?!"

She blurted out in surprise: "Dangtang empress, how could it be..."

"Shh~"

Jiao Shun hastily made a silent gesture, and Baochai realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his backhand.

She has always been prudent, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't lose her composure like this, but who would have imagined that the shameless woman in the photo is actually a concubine in the palace?And a concubine of high rank? !

This is too unbelievable!

But just because it was too unbelievable, she actually believed what Jiao Shun said was true, otherwise, making up such a lie to slander the royal family would be a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the family.

But dignified lady, why would...

"I didn't shoot it!"

Seeing Baochai staring at him in disbelief, Jiao Shun hurriedly said again: "Actually, this thing was given to me by Concubine Wu Gui this afternoon when I was called into the palace - I never thought it would be such a thing at first!"

Concubine Wu Gui was involved again? !
That's the prince's biological mother!
"What exactly is going on?"

"Is this..."

Jiao Shun looked at the two little maids in the distance, and said softly: "I can't say a few words clearly, why don't I stay here tomorrow morning, and I will explain it to my sister in detail."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands at Xue Baochai and said, "I still have some things to deal with urgently, so let's go ahead."

Seeing him talking, Baochai turned around and left, opened her mouth to reject tomorrow's agreement, but was really curious about what this photo was about, and after a moment of hesitation, Jiao Shun had already run away.

She could only sigh helplessly, wondering whether she should go to the appointment tomorrow.

"girl."

At this time, Ying'er finally couldn't help asking: "This belongs to Concubine Rong and Concubine Wu. What's inside the envelope?"

"Don't inquire about what you shouldn't!"

Baochai scolded, remembering the focal point she saw in the first glimpse, if it really was Concubine Rong, it would be worthy of the name.
