The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 691

Peach Blossom Lane, Su Residence.

The next afternoon, when Jiao Shun came over early, the snow geese were already able to go to the ground, but Lin Daiyu was still unable to walk.

Regarding this, Lin Daiyu was a little frustrated, no matter how much she teased her, she still couldn't be happy.

Just as it was raining continuously in autumn, Jiao Shun simply pushed Luo Han's bed to the door, and watched the rain scene with Lin Daiyu while talking about chess.

In this way, sister Lin gradually felt relieved.

But when it came to the middle of the game, Daiyu was sitting on a small blanket, leaning on the Kang table with her cheeks in her hand, and dropped a white piece casually, while looking down at the bronzing invitation card that Jiao Shun had just handed over, she shook her head and sighed: "In this day and age Under the circumstances, why do you want to make a fuss?"

Mrs. Wang sent this invitation by the way yesterday. The purpose was to invite Jiao Shun to participate in Jia Mu's birthday banquet on the third day of August.

According to Mrs. Wang's words, this birthday banquet will not be simplified because of the current embarrassment of the Rongguo Mansion, but it will be more grand than previous years.

Jiao Shun hesitated, and replied casually: "I don't know, maybe it's because I've been used to it over the years, and I can't change it for a while."

This is undoubtedly a lie.

In fact, when Mrs. Wang sent out the post, she had already explained in secret that the reason why Jia Zheng was out of time this time and insisted on making a big deal for his mother's birthday was mainly because Jia's mother had obviously lost her energy since the fainting.

This is obviously not a good sign.

That's why Jia Zheng wanted to take advantage of his birthday. It would be the best if it happened, but if it didn't... the old lady might not have a few birthdays, so let's not let her have any regrets.

The reason why Jiao Shun refused to tell the truth was mainly because what Jia Mu did, although it had already broken Lin Daiyu's heart, she was her closest elder in the world after all. , there is no guarantee that he will not be shaken.

At this juncture, Jiao doesn't want to make any further complications.

Hearing his conjecture, Lin Daiyu sighed again, pushed the invitation back to Jiao Shun, raised a light-white finger, and tapped lightly on a certain place on the chessboard.

"Isn't that a coincidence?"

Jiao Shun quickly put the sunspot on it, and said with a slobbery face, "I was also thinking of putting it here, so it shows that we are in the same mind."

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes speechlessly, picked up a white piece from the chess box, and held it up in front of Jiao Shun: "Brother Jiao, why don't you guess where I want to play this piece?"

"This one……"

Jiao Shun scratched his face, stretched out his hand to hold Sister Lin's catkin, and said with a double entendre: "Maybe it's not thorough enough, we need to go deeper."

"you!"

Immediately, Lin Daiyu was ashamed and angry, she broke away from Lushan's claws fiercely, and picked up the chubby chess box as if to smash it.

Jiao Shun quickly surrendered and begged for mercy.

The two quarreled for a while, until Zijuan came to refill the tea, and then Lin Daiyu let him go, and while placing a piece on the chessboard, she asked casually: "My aunt came to the door, it is impossible to send invitations specially, right? "

"Of course not."

Jiao Shun shook his head and said: "She also wants to ask me to do two things by the way, the first one is Wang Taiwei's family, and I hope to meet him after he arrives in Beijing—speaking of which, she is also under the lights, this matter Why do you need me? Just ask Jia Yun and it will be settled."

"Jia Yun?"

Lin Daiyu recalled it carefully, and then asked uncertainly: "Is it the one who used to work with you as a book office?"

"It's him, but the bookmaker is Lao Huangli, and the wife he just married is my goddaughter, and now he has taken the opportunity to recognize me as a foster father-I can't let him call him a foster father for nothing, right? Therefore In June, with the east wind of the telegram, I found him a military post from the seventh rank."

"Father?"

Lin Daiyu subconsciously covered her mouth, and said amusedly, "I remember he's not much younger than you, right?"

"so what?"

Jiao Shunjiang's figure was upright, with an air of calm and prestige: "He is of the grass-roots generation, and he should have called me uncle. Besides, it's nothing new for an older official to recognize a younger one as a father-in-law. Well, mine is pretty good."

Lin Daiyu was not at all interested in the unhealthy tendencies in the officialdom. After laughing, she asked curiously, "Then what's the second thing?"

"The second one?"

Jiao Shun bought a barrier first, and then said: "I am here to complain for Brother Bao."

"Is it wrong?"

Lin Daiyu was surprised when she heard the words: "He hides in the Grand View Garden all day long, can anyone wrong him?"

Being able to mention Jia Baoyu calmly in front of Jiao Shun shows that the relationship between the two parties has improved again in the past two days.

"That's not the case..."

By the way, Jiao told about the fact that Jia Baoyu was scared out of his wits when he received the gift of a dead dog, and then asked, "Who is the person who gave the dead dog?"

"which one?"

"It's his future uncle, Xue Pan!"

"Brother Xue? What's going on?"

Lin Daiyu was confused for a moment.

"Speaking of which, this matter is still related to you. When Baoyu learned that you were going to Suzhou, she cried and made a fuss and said that she wanted to get you back. She even said in public that she would marry you and be an equal to Miss Xue."

Having said that, Jiao Shun smiled and looked at Lin Daiyu without saying a word.

Lin Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, then bit her red lips lightly and said: "Who does he think I am? Who does Sister Bao think? Even if there is no..."

She raised her head and looked at Jiao Shun, and immediately lowered her head: "I will never go back to Rongguo Mansion now!"

"Besides, these words are also suspected of contempt for the Holy Will."

Jiao Shun said with a smile: "So the Rongguo Mansion has been suppressing the news and not letting it out, but for some reason Xue Pan listened to it, and then..."

As he spoke, he spread his hands together: "This can be regarded as self-inflicted."

Lin Daiyu didn't speak again, and fiddled with the chess pieces in the chess box, silently thinking about something.

…………

at the same time.

In the Yihong Courtyard of the Grand View Garden, Tanchun was taking Li Wan and Wang Xifeng to discuss about Jia Mu's birthday in a few days, when he saw Xiren coming out from the inner room, he said happily, "Third Miss, two grandmas, go in quickly." Look, Second Master finally recognizes someone!"

After hearing the words, the sister-in-law hurriedly followed her into the inner room.

Sure enough, Jia Baoyu's gaze was no longer fixed in a daze, but slowly adjusted according to the positions of the three of them - of course, compared to normal people, it still seemed a little dull.

"Is brother better?"

Tanchun sat directly on the head of the bed, and took advantage of the opportunity to help Jia Baoyu tuck the corner of the quilt.

"much better."

Jia Baoyu forced a smile, glanced at the faces of the three of them one by one, and asked with difficulty: "Where's your wife?"

Wang Xifeng continued: "My wife will be entertaining guests at Ouxiangxie later, so we let us stay here for her."

"Hospitality?"

"It's not a foreigner either."

Wang Xifeng flicked the handkerchief, and sighed in admiration: "It's brother Yun, the son of the fifth sister-in-law on the back porch, who used to be just a shabby hukou, but after two years of experience with Jiao Shun, he is now promising. Everything is the same as you, also from the seventh rank!"

There was a bit of teasing in her words.

But Jia Baoyu never cared about official positions, so he just asked curiously: "Even if Brother Yun becomes an official, there's no need for my wife to entertain him in person, right?"

This time Wang Xifeng didn't speak anymore.

Seeing this, Tanchun took up the topic and said, "Brother, do you still remember that my aunt came over yesterday?"

"aunt?"

Jia Baoyu was in a daze for a moment before trying to understand who she was talking about.

"The meaning of the Wang family is that they want to meet with my uncle before he goes on trial—that Jia Yun has been favored by Brother Jiao, and now she is in charge of the army representatives stationed in the factory in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. Many mid-level and lower-ranking officers who have no ambitions want to follow him, so it should not be difficult to ask him to come forward to make a bridge, and meet in private."

Jia Baoyu suddenly realized.

He only sighed with emotion that today is not what it used to be, but he didn't take it too seriously.

But this matter was nothing less than a big earthquake in Rongning Second Mansion, and even in the entire Jia clan.

Who is Jia Yun on the back porch?

He lost his father since he was a child, and lived with his widowed mother, all hungry and full, all relying on going to the Rongguo Mansion to beat the autumn wind. Not to mention that few of the clansmen looked at him seriously, and even the servants in charge of the Rongguo Mansion did not regard him as a something.

It's just such a person, who has only been with Uncle Jiao for two or three years, and who doesn't show off his mountains and dews, is actually on the same level as Second Master Bao!

Although Jia Yun is a military officer, far less valuable than Second Master Bao's civilian position, but you have to see where his starting point is!

Therefore, as soon as the news that Mrs. Wang was going to entertain Jia Yun came out, the two houses of Rongning and Ningxia became a sensation, and many people ran to the street to look at each other, just to verify whether it was true or not.

"It's true, it's true!"

At two o'clock in the afternoon [05:30 p.m.], a young servant rushed back to Ningguo Mansion from the street corner, and before entering the living room, he started yelling loudly.

in the living room.

Jia Rong jumped up, and asked with bright eyes: "Have you inquired carefully?"

Relying on his favor and trust, the little boy said: "Look at what the Lord said, if you don't inquire carefully, how dare you come back and report it?"

Then he pointed to the outside and said, "If you don't believe me, go out and have a look. Jia Yun is wearing a brand-new official uniform and is surrounded and unable to move. She is probably still on the street right now!"

After hearing this, Jia Rong had no doubts, and after ordering the young man to retreat, he paced back and forth in the room excitedly.

So what is Jia Yun?

It's just that she married Uncle Jiao's adoptive daughter, so she got such praise; and she was going to raise Uncle Jiao's son, so why couldn't she get a first-class job? !

Speaking of Jia Rong, in fact, there is also a fifth-rank Long Jinwei military rank, which is theoretically higher than Jia Yun's third-rank.

But not to mention that his position as Captain Long is false, even if it is a real position, he is just a soldier. In terms of rights and benefits, how can he compare with Jia Yun, who holds the power to distribute military cadres?

So after hearing the news, Jia Rong couldn't help but be moved.

He originally asked Mrs. Xu to borrow X, but he was just worried that Brother Xiong would use Jiao Shun's power to compete with him for the family property of Ningguo Mansion in the future.

But now that he has the opportunity to gain more benefits, why not do it?

but……

Mrs. Xu is useless, so far she is not pregnant, she has not even gotten close to Uncle Jiao in a serious way.

Thinking of this, he intends to urge Mrs. Xu.

As the saying goes, hard work can make up for clumsiness, even if the stomach is not up to snuff, you can always get pregnant if you do it a few more times!

But as soon as he walked out of the living room, Jia Rong hesitated again.

That woman already has resentment towards herself now, if she pushes her harder, and she blows the pillow wind in front of Uncle Jiao, wouldn't it be counterproductive?

no~

You have to think of something safe and secure.

But he has never been a smart person, how can there be a way to get the best of both worlds in this haste?

For a moment, I couldn't help but lament that it is difficult for a turtle man to do it, and it is not easy to take over the order.

…………

at the same time.

Rongguo Mansion East Cross Courtyard.

Jia Lian was drowning his sorrows with wine alone, when Zhao'er, who had just recovered, walked in quickly.

Seeing that his second master was still drinking, he couldn't help but paused and said: "My lord, didn't you tell me? The second wife invited you to accompany me at the Ou Xiangxie. Seeing that the second master Yun has already..."

"Bah~!"

Jia Lian spat hard, interrupted him, and asked with red eyes: "What kind of second master is he?!"

"Look at my stupid mouth!"

Zhao'er hurriedly gave herself two earmarks anyway: "Brother Yun on the back porch has already arrived at the gate, if the second master doesn't leave, I'm afraid it will be late!"

"It's late, it's late!"

Jia Lian was unmoved, and said bitterly: "Just relying on the power of that dog slave, do you really think you are someone? If the second master is willing, he can crush him to death with a backhand!"

Zhao'er heard that he was obviously drunk, and could not help but secretly groaning, and was about to persuade him again, when the wine glass slammed on his head and face.

He managed to avoid it, but Jia Lian yelled, "Get out, don't make any noise, I'll take your skin off!"

Because Zhao'er was older and not his subordinate, he naturally didn't dare to stay any longer when he saw this, so he ran away with a bitter face.

Not to mention how he thought hard and racked his brains to cover up for Jia Lian in front of Mrs. Wang.

But Jia Lian scolded Zhao'er away, sat at the table panting for a while, then raised the jug and took a big gulp, and then began to swear to the sky.

In the morning, he wasn't doing much at all, but Wang Xifeng sent someone to send a message, saying that he had posted a message to Jiao Shun yesterday, asking him to "reward" Jiao Shun and not play his old master's temper again.

It was nothing to others' ears, but to his ears, it was clear that Wang Xifeng was blatantly provoking, and even pointed out the identity of his former master, so as to humiliate him nakedly!

"Damn whore! Damn dog slave!"

He slapped the table cursingly, wishing he could take the sword and stab the adulterer to death with a sword, but he didn't have the courage to do it - besides not daring to do it, he was even more afraid that if the matter of the slave rider was leaked out , his second master Lian would become a laughing stock.

Besides this reckless method, he really had no other idea.

To tell the truth, he also thought about breaking the can and smashing it. Since the shrew went to steal the man, he should follow suit and find another place to have fun.

Hey~

How can it be a difficult word to be such a living bastard?
