【2-in-1】

This morning, I was really busy and exhausted.

Although the government had made plans before, the big and small events were still happening one after another, and there was a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and the front and back were completely unrelated.

Fortunately, in his previous life, Jiao Shun had long been accustomed to this high-intensity, fragmented way of working. On the one hand, he worked with Liu Chang and several people to deal with things concisely and comprehensively;

Taking advantage of the lunch break, Jiao Shun specifically called Liu Changyou and handed him the form.

"Please, Mr. Liu Suocheng, please take the time to fill it out and see if there are any omissions."

Things like tables have been around for a long time, but what Jiao Shun imitated from later generations is more detailed and refined.

Although he is not from the civil engineering department, there are inevitably some flaws and omissions.

Compared to those superior officials who love to talk eloquently, and when it comes to actual official business, they will only write propositions and essays for their subordinates, but they are a hundred times stronger.

After Liu Changyou read the form carefully, he regretted more and more that he should not have rashly connected with Han Sheng and secretly plotted against the new Mr. Jiao.

But it is useless to regret now. It is only right to try to make amends.

At that moment, he continued to praise Jiao Shun for his unique style; he took out two fan bones and presented them with both hands: "Xiaguan usually doesn't have any hobbies. He only likes to carve small objects for fun. These two fan bones are also my pride."

It’s a great work, but it’s a pity that I can’t find a matching fan.”

"Your Excellency has been in the prince's house for a long time, and is a hundred times more knowledgeable and social than the lower official. Therefore, the lower official is shameless and wants to ask you to find a way for these two fan bones."

They talk about finding a chance, but in reality they are just looking for an excuse to give gifts.

Seeing that he said it solemnly, Jiao Shun curiously took the two fan bones and looked at them over and over.

But I saw that the bones of these two fan handles were both made of ivory. The top of one handle was densely covered with cloud patterns. If you look closely, there were hundreds of the words "Fu" and "Shou". Although it was smaller than a sesame seed, it was

The strokes have distinct shapes and different shapes.

The other one is even more exquisite. At first glance, it seems that the carvings are allusions to the disciples of saints. Each character is lifelike. But if you put more than a dozen fan bones together, the front and back actually spell out "Book of Poems" and "Liyue".

'Four words.

The former shows the exquisite craftsmanship and also implies auspiciousness; the latter's exquisite craftsmanship and ingenuity are still higher than the former.

"Liu Suocheng is indeed a top-notch craftsman in our Ministry of Industry."

Jiao Shun sighed in admiration, but pushed back the fan bone, shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take what others like. Since this is Liu Suocheng's hard work, how can I accept it easily?"

Liu Changyou had already opened his mouth, how could he take back the gift?

At that moment, I was busy trying to persuade him, but it seemed that if Jiao Shunruo refused to accept it, the two fan bones would be destroyed and buried.

The two of them were pushing each other around, when suddenly someone from below grabbed it with his hand and said, "Show it, Master!"

But it was Jia She, Jia Zheng and others who came down from the rockery at some unknown time and found themselves in front of the altar.

It was Jia She who took away the fan bones. He held them with gleaming eyes and took a closer look. The closer he looked, the closer he looked. He seemed to want to stick out his tongue from his eye sockets and lick the two fan bones from beginning to end.

once.

Jia Zhengsu knew that his brother loved these exquisite objects most in his life, and he was afraid that he would do something rude again, so he hurriedly called out: "Brother, brother? Brother!"

Unexpectedly, Jia She ignored him and murmured to himself: "Good stuff, really good stuff!"

Jia Zheng was annoyed for a moment, so he also snatched the fan bone with his hands and returned it to Jiao Shun. He apologized: "Brother got carried away just now. I hope my nephew won't take offense."

Jiao Shun stuffed the fan bone into his embroidery bag, and was about to say a few words when Jia She didn't expect him to squeeze closer, grabbed his hand and asked with eyes wide open: "How much silver will you be willing to part with? How about a thousand taels?!"

"

"Brother!"

Jia Zheng hurriedly pulled him back and whispered something. Jia She calmed down a little, but his eyes were fixed on Jiao Shun's sleeves and refused to move away for a moment.

This guy seems to be suffering from hysteria.

It seems that Baoyu is not a special case, but a family inheritance.

Although Jiao Shun vaguely remembered that Jia She later killed some idiot for a few fans, he was not in ruins. Now that Jian was favored by Jia Zheng in the emperor's heart, he was not afraid of Jia She's mischief.

But it was said that Jia Zheng was originally having dinner with him, so he specially led everyone to find him.

Seeing that Jia She was about to fall ill at any moment, he hurriedly avoided going to report the progress to the old lady and took Jia She away in a hurry.

Only Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Baoyu and Jia Rong were left to host a banquet to accompany him.

During the dinner, Jia Lian asked again: "Let Baoyu follow you this afternoon. I could hardly stop him on that mountain before."

Jiao Shun subconsciously looked at Baoyu and saw that this guy was holding a glass of wine like a wild goose. He was silent for a long time and then suddenly poured it on the ground. He didn't care that it splashed all over Jia Rong's trouser legs. He was mumbling all kinds of ghosts and gods.

Jiao Shun couldn't help but shook his head secretly.

You could say he was a love interest, but the person offering the memorial was a man.

So in the afternoon, there was another man in front of the altar who looked like a clay and wood sculpture. Not only did Jiao Shun treat him as if he didn't exist, but even the stewards knew not to mess with him and didn't dare to look at him.

The chaos continued until evening.

Jia Zheng set up a table in the Hall of Rongxi and praised Jiao Shun for his good deeds.

There was no trace of Jia She during this dinner, and I don't know if it was because Jia Mu had banned her again or for some other reason.

Because I have to supervise the work for another day the next day, I also need to help set the construction regulations.

Jiao Shun did not dare to drink more. He complained to Jia Zheng early and left the banquet, and sent Liu Changyou out the back door.

During this period, he didn't mention the fan bone thing again, and Liu Changyou wouldn't take the initiative to ask about it. They just said goodbye to each other tacitly.

When I returned home, I saw the lights in the hall flickering, indicating that guests had arrived.

I called Yuchuan'er over and asked about it, and found out that there were many people who wanted to join the Wang couple and myself in order to find a good job.

His parents had to worry about these things, so Jiao Shun hid in the east chamber for peace and quiet.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I took off my coat and lay down on the couch in the back room, I heard that Ping'er had come looking for him.

He hurriedly put on his boots again.

Just as he was about to greet her, Ping'er opened the curtain and walked in. She was wearing a green long skirt with a jacket and holding a bright red food box in her hand.

Maybe he caught the cold on the road, but his face was paler than before, and his icy muscles and jade bones made his almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks look even better.

I saw her put the big red food box on the Kang table, opened the lid and took out two soup bowls, and said with a smile: "Because I don't know what you will do after your busy day, I just asked someone to boil two soups at noon.

One is for clearing fire and moisturizing the lungs, and the other is for dispelling cold and dampness - there are no medicinal materials in it, just some green vegetables, radish and old hens, you can eat it yourself."

Jiao Shun hurriedly followed her instructions and took the one that clears fire and moisturizes the lungs. While blowing the hot air, he smiled and said, "Sister, are you here to see me?"

Ping'er sighed helplessly: "I thought so, but how can I be free like this? Actually, Second Mistress asked you to send a message to you, so I took over the job and delivered this soup by the way."

Jiao Shun hurriedly asked: "What did the second grandma ask my sister to preach?"

Ping'er didn't answer, but looked at Yu Chuan'er aside.

When Yu Chuan'er saw this, she immediately smiled and said, "My wife said she was suffering from the cold this morning, so I might as well bring this to my wife to dispel the cold and dampness. It can be regarded as my filial piety to my wife."

Jiao Shun responded repeatedly and urged her to send it quickly.

"Isn't Second Grandma's illness a little better?"

When Yu Chuan'er went out with the soup, Ping'er said again: "If you have anything to use in the house tomorrow, don't disturb Grandma Zhu anymore. Just send someone to find her."

Tsk~

This is obviously an attempt to use his own power to find a way to seize Li Wan's power!

It seems that the book of ‘Quotations’ that I gave away earlier was a waste of effort.

Although Jiao Shun had made up his mind, he deliberately showed some embarrassment on his face and said in a low voice: "Second Mistress seizes power as soon as she seizes it, and she blames this offending matter on me."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Ping'er advised: "After all, you are still inseparable from the government now. If you can bear with it a little longer, if there is an opportunity to go outside in the future, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so naturally you don't have to be controlled by them anymore.

"

"Alas~"

Jiao Shun sighed heavily, stared at Ping'er's pleasing eyebrows, and said seriously: "I can't rely on my second grandma when it comes to serious matters. She is usually bossy. It's just for my sister's sake. I really don't want to deal with her."

Got it!"

Seeing his hot eyes, Ping'er couldn't help but think of the past, and became a little panicked for a moment. She stood up and spat: "It's strange that she said you were brave, but you are becoming more and more disgraceful!"

As he said that, he packed up his food box and left.

Jiao Shun hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, then took out the fan bones of a thousand blessings and a hundred lives from his sleeve, and held them in front of Ping'er with both hands: "Good sister, I got two new fan bones, and the lord insisted on buying them with a thousand taels of silver.

I went there, but I was perfunctory. I took this lucky sister and put it at the bottom of the box, just to get some luck."

"How does this work!"

When Ping'er heard that this thing was so valuable, he quickly rejected it and said: "Since it is a good thing, it doesn't matter if you keep it for yourself or give it to others. Wouldn't it be a waste of a good thing if you give it to me?"

Jiao Shun took the opportunity to hold her little white hands and said anxiously: "Whatever sister said, it would be wasted if given to others. In my heart, only sister is the most worthy of it!"

If it had been before, Ping'er would have been able to break free early on, given the lessons learned from the past.
