Chapter 126 Ningfu Night Banquet
Jia Zhen originally had no intention of asking Jiao Shun to accompany her.
On the one hand, the two parties had unresolved old grievances, and on the other hand, they were afraid that Jia Lian would be uncomfortable. Later, when they heard that Jiao Shun had received a reward, they changed their minds temporarily.
On the one hand, he sent someone to invite him, but on the other hand, he couldn't help complaining to Youshi: "I originally thought that when the limelight passed, I would send him away through the door, so that I could be out of sight and out of mind."
"Who would have thought that this guy actually has some abilities? Now that he has won His Majesty's favor, I'm afraid he will be even more helpless in the future!"
Youshi originally felt that he should not accommodate a small official who was a slave, but now that he heard that Jiao Shun had won the favor of the emperor because of his talents and knowledge, his thoughts changed.
So he asked tentatively: "Sir, are there any traces of the rumors about the second girl getting married?"
Without waiting for Jia Zhen to respond, she answered and asked herself: "From what I see, it may not all be groundless. If Jiao Shunguo is a promising man, what can he do if he gives up a concubine girl?"
Jia Zhen hadn't woken up yet, so she rolled up half a bottle of the fun medicine in her sleeve, intending to use it at the banquet. After the medicine had dissipated, she would clean up her newly combed hooves.
It wasn't until he kicked in and kicked out that he suddenly realized. He frowned and turned around and said, "Are you talking about Sister Xichun?"
Seeing that there was no emotion or anger in his expression, Youshi dared not to admit this easily. She hurriedly laughed and said: "Our family is all made by the master, so how can I dare to make random ideas? What's more, it is sister Xichun's life-long event."
Jia Zhen frowned and looked at her for a few times, then suddenly flicked her sleeves: "You know you shouldn't say it, why don't you cover up the hole!"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Since the day Qin Keqingyu died in Tianxiang Tower, the husband and wife had been at odds with each other, and this was not the first time that Jia Zhen had cheated on the You family.
Now she is a bit skinny and doesn't take it to heart at all.
Because she also thought that since Jia Zhen had taken the medicine, she would definitely be reluctant to use it on herself, so she no longer had to worry about being beaten and scolded by him after drinking, which made her feel much more relaxed.
He loosened his stuffy lapel, leaned his white and unloved body on the couch next to the heater, and fell into a deep sleep for a while.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
When she was half asleep and half awake, she felt someone peeping in front of her. At first, she thought it was the maids, but the gaze went straight into her arms. It was only then that Youshi realized something was wrong and hurriedly turned over from the bed and sat up.
This time, he almost ran into Jia Rong's arms.
"Yo~"
Jia Rong hurriedly took half a step back and said with a smile: "My wife is finally awake. The master sent me to get something."
Youshi was ashamed and annoyed.
Even if he was really sent to get something, how could he sneak up to his sleeping stepmother and stare at her?!
Previously, because Jia Lian was not at home, he had been fawning over Wang Xifeng, but now that he had no chance, he was actually thinking about himself!
Youshi suddenly jumped up and started to jump to his feet and cursed angrily.
But seeing that there wasn't much panic on Jia Rong's face, and thinking that these two bastards, father and son, were just like each other, if they really got into trouble, they were afraid that Jia Zhen might not be willing to protect him, so he didn't dare to get angry at the moment.
Holding back his anger, he followed Jia Rong's words and called the little maid to open the box and get something.
Seeing Jia Rong go away with a playful smile, Youshi felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it. She wanted to cry, but she was afraid that the maid would tell Jia Zhen about it.
So he said that he was feeling stuffy in the house and wanted to go out to clean himself up, leaving the maid alone to find a place of sorrow.
…………
Let’s go back and talk about Jia Rong.
After leaving the main room in the backyard, all I could think about was the fair skin of the couple. I secretly thought that although the stepmother was not as good-looking as her late wife, she was quite interesting.
I also thought that if the master could care about me, wouldn’t he want me to care about his?
It's just that I don't have insurance now, and I'll wait until a few days later to find someone I like and go home, and then trade it with him for fun.
After making up his mind, he Shi Shiran returned to the hall.
The banquet was in full swing in the hall. Jia Zhen saw her son at the head table and cursed casually: "Why did it take so long to come back for such a useless thing?!"
"Brother Zhen said this."
Jia Lian replied casually: "It's so late at night, it's hard for him to rush around."
Jia Rong also borrowed the donkey from the slope and said, "Second Uncle Lian still loves me and knows how difficult it is for me."
Then he asked: "What are you talking about, master and uncles? They were chatting so passionately just now? I've been listening to it all outside."
"It's not about your aunt."
Jia Lian said with a smile on his face: "When the decree was delivered to the palace, it was revealed that the relatives of each family should build separate gardens so that the ladies can go home to visit their relatives!"
"Didn't you say before that you would allow relatives from all families to visit the palace?"
"That's the old lunar calendar. Now the Supreme Emperor has made up his mind. He is just waiting for the Ministry of Rites to come up with the regulations and will let the ladies go home to visit the bride!"
"This is such a great kindness!"
Hearing how lively they were talking about, Jiao Shun was also very greedy.
The Grand View Garden is finally here!
I couldn't help but feel a little excited as I secretly thought about the birds and birds in the garden.
But then I thought again.
With my current identity, it is impossible to live in it anyway - in fact, it would be useless to change my identity, because except for the special case of Baoyu, there seems to be no other man in the garden.
All in all, I’m very jealous!
Jiao Shun immediately picked up the wine glass and pointed it at Baoyu: "You guys are talking about it, why is there no one to congratulate our uncle? Come on, I'll do it first as a token of respect!"
When he started, everyone else started to boo.
After three or five cups were poured down, the poured-out Baoyu shook, and he waved his hands quickly and said: "No, no! Today, one is to support the second brother, and the other is to celebrate that Brother Jiao has received the reward, but why do you come to drink me?"
"I was just lucky."
Jiao smiled and said humbly: "Based on my literary skills at that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to show myself to the officialdom in the future - and I usually don't pay attention to secular affairs, so I don't want to pay much attention to business affairs."
OK."
"That was actually written by Sister Bao."
But Baoyu didn't hide it, and said: "Sister Bao also admires Brother Jiao's articles very much. She made a copy of it and has been taking it out from time to time to study it recently."
"Is there such a thing?"
The jealousy in Jiao Shun's heart disappeared immediately, and he smiled with joy: "I heard that this girl is the most knowledgeable, I don't think she can read my rough words."
Thinking that I had unknowingly gained a good impression of Xue Baochai, I didn't even bother to give Baoyu another drink, and instead poured myself a few glasses to cheer him up.
Others also exchanged cups.
Just as the fuss was getting underway, Zhao'er, a young boy who didn't want Jia Lian, poked his head at the door, hesitating to speak.
Jia Lian was annoyed and shouted: "It's okay to play tricks at home, but why are you still so unruly at my uncle's house?!"
Zhao'er hurriedly knelt down and said: "When I came back to the Second Master, it was actually my family who sent someone here, telling Uncle Zhen to keep an eye on you and not get you drunk."
After hearing this, Jia Lian put the wine glass on the table and said angrily: "This woman is getting more and more lenient!"
Jia Zhen smiled and waved her hand: "My eldest sister is doing this for your own good. Besides, she has been alone in the empty house for half a year, and it's so easy to hope for you to come back. If you are so drunk, how can you talk about your relationship at night?"
The last part about "saying farewell" was said in such a humorous tone that it made everyone burst out laughing, with color on their faces.
And as Jia Zhen just took some pills to cheer her up, she inevitably went straight to the next road.
Even Jiao Shun had seen it before, but he couldn't match the broadness of this group of dandies. After listening to it for a while while enjoying the wine, he felt that his pants were uncomfortably tight.
So he casually asked Jia Rong who was standing aside: "Where is the toilet in this courtyard? I can go there for convenience."
Jia Rong stood up drunkenly, patted her chest and said, "I'll take my uncle there, and I'll give him Kuaisongkuai as well!"
When he won the title, Jia Zhen called Jiao Shun his nephew. Now, because he first won the favor of Jia Zheng and was rewarded by the emperor, he had grown up a generation unconsciously, so Jia Rong was called his uncle.
But he said that Jiao Shun followed Jia Rong out of the living room, walked across the room, across the courtyard, and walked far away, but he didn't stop there.
He couldn't help but feel suspicious. He grabbed Jia Rong's wrist and asked: "How can the toilet be so far away? Is Brother Rong trying to trap me?"
Jia Rong was so excited that he finally regained consciousness.
Looking around, he realized that he was already in the back garden, and hurriedly explained: "What did Uncle Jiao say? Not to mention that my uncle is now in a prosperous family. Just because you have a fatal handle on the family, I don't want to lend you the courage."
I dare to trick you!"
"It's good that you know!"
Jiao Shun still sneered: "Why don't you point me to the toilet quickly?"
"this……"
Jia Rong smiled bitterly and said: "I got distracted for a moment, but there is no toilet here - it is simply a secluded place, so we can just relax."
As he said that, he didn't care that Jiao Shun was right in front of him, and took out the needle-point wheat light and fired it into the air.
Jiao Shun hurriedly let him go. Because he didn't want to be with this guy, he specially chose a bush to release water.
After the two of them had finished each other's convenience, they turned back the same way in a drunken state.
Chapter completed!
