Aunt Xue originally wanted to let everyone have dinner, but Mrs. Wang was considerate that she had just moved here and told her to take a rest first.

He also said that it would not be too late to invite Li Wan and the others over for a drink after two days when he felt interested.

Therefore, as evening approached, everyone dispersed.

Let’s talk about Li Wan first.

Because she had handed over her errands, she went home earlier than a few days ago.

Seeing that there was still some time before dinner, Li Wan ordered the little maid to get Jia Lan's homework for the day and start the routine marking.

No matter how late she worked before and how exhausted she was after returning home, she never delayed or postponed the task of checking her homework.

But today is obviously more leisurely than usual, but Li Wan can't settle down for a moment. He just finished reading the next sentence while holding Jia Lan's homework, turned around and forgot the previous sentence. In the blink of an eye, he didn't remember to read it.

Where have you been?

Several times I tried hard to steady my mind and started reading from the beginning, but several times I got stuck in the middle and couldn't continue.

"Alas~"

Li Wan sighed quietly, put the homework on the table, and looked out the window blankly.

It would be fine to just sit back and watch. This time, I took over Wang Xifeng's place as housekeeper and grandma for a few days. The thoughts in my heart were like weeds that I couldn't even shovel away - after all, the bossy boss, the stars holding the moon, the flower-filled scenery, and

How can it be compared to the loneliness of this lonely pair of cold windows?

"Grandma now knows she regrets it!"

At this time, Suyun came in from outside holding a gift box. Seeing the owner's appearance, she couldn't help pouting and scolding: "I asked you to please the old lady more, but once you get the old lady's approval, you can't take her place and take over some of her work."

It shouldn’t be a problem if you don’t come here to do housework, right?”

"Grandma just leaves the old lady alone and only works hard on the side--for someone like Mrs. Xue's family, what can grandma do even if she handles it properly? She won't be able to help at the critical moment!"

This was not the first time she had said similar words, but Li Wan just turned a deaf ear.

Suyun sighed helplessly, put the gift box solemnly on the desk, and said: "Uncle Jiao sent this to someone. He said that he forgot that it was grandma's housekeeper in the moment of impatience. Now he feels sorry for it, so he specially sent it to me."

I gave you a gift to make amends.”

Li Wan frowned and looked at the gift box with a look of rejection from thousands of miles away.

"It's a red sandalwood wolf-hair pen made by skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry."

Su Yun hurriedly explained: "It would be best to let my brother bring me copybooks."

Li Wan was unmoved, pushed the gift box in front of her, and said calmly: "He is originally from Feng Lazi, but now he is just following orders. There is nothing to apologize for - just give him the things and return them.

"

"grandmother!"

Su Yun said anxiously: "Uncle Jiao was first in a hurry to deliver the book, and now he is in a hurry to apologize. I'm afraid he may not be of the same mind as the Second Mistress - Besides, didn't you just say that he has something to do?"

"In my opinion, he probably values ​​the future of our brother Lang. Nowadays, everyone is rushing to fawn over Second Master Bao, but Second Master Bao doesn't seem to be making any progress? In the future, in the Rongguo Mansion,

You still have to look at our brother Lang!"

After a pause, he added: "Although Uncle Jiao is from a different background, you have seen in the past two days that he has the final say in everything that happens in Nuo Da. He is no worse than the serious men in our house."

How much, if I get his help in the future, I may not..."

"alright!"

Li Wan glanced at her and said displeasedly: "What a mess. The more you talk about it, the more clueless it becomes."

Although he scolded Suyun.

But Li Wan's eyes lingered on the gift box for a long time, and he reached out and rubbed it for a long time. Finally, he put the things back together, pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Then accept it, and we will give him a gift in return tomorrow."

that is!"

…………

Just when Li Wan made up his mind and finally took a step forward, the You family in Ningguo Mansion retreated.

Since all matters between men and women are about striking while the iron is hot, if it is delayed for a long time, it will easily lead to unexpected events.

Previously, Youshi was so aroused that she wished she could marry Jiao Shunye every day.

I stayed in Rongguo Mansion every day for the past two days, and my thoughts and feelings reached their peak. Every day I thought about my acquaintances.

However, in the past two days, she tried every means, but she didn't even have a chance to meet him nearby. Her emotions, which had reached their peak, suddenly dropped by half.

That evening she returned to Ning Guo Mansion and sat on the couch unhappily for a long time. Then she suddenly shook her head and said, "That's all, it's probably fate. Now that it didn't work out, there's no need to worry anymore."

After hearing this, Yindie hurriedly said: "Grandma is no better than us. There are a lot of people following us wherever we go. If we want to achieve good things, I'm afraid we have to make long-term plans."

"What's there to discuss?"

Youshi glanced at her, and slumped her body on the soft brocade couch, leaving a trace like a gourd. Her two slender legs twisted her loneliness, but she seemed to have seen through the world of mortals.

General: "It's really done, so what? It's just the same thing. It can neither satisfy hunger nor quench thirst."

If it was like many girls, who have experienced in the hail of bullets, they would probably have to point out the duplicity of these words, and then detail the huge differences.

But Yindie only had his first glimpse of this path. Although he was lucky enough to meet a 'good disciple', he didn't understand the meaning of it for a while.

At that moment, he had no choice but to come up with an idea: "How about we find a day to go to the temple to offer incense and let Uncle Jiao ambush in advance..."

"Do you think it's a show?"

Youshi rolled her eyes at her and said lazily: "When did we go to the temple to offer incense? Didn't we first drive out the idle people and then search them three or five times?"

"where……"

Yindie thought for a while and then said: "I'm going to ask Uncle Jiao for some advice tomorrow. I've seen how skillful he is in dealing with things in the past two days. Maybe there will be some good ideas."

"No need."

Youshi shook her Zhen head on the pillow: "Just thinking about it these days makes me scared. If something happens, I'm afraid I will follow in the footsteps of Brother Rong's daughter-in-law."

Hearing her evasive words, Yindie panicked for a moment.

At first, it was she who broke up the adultery and caught Youshi's shortcomings; but now it turns out that she had an affair with Jiao Shun, and Youshi found his way back.

If You Shi really regrets it and wants to put an end to this matter completely, then wouldn't he have to follow in Ruizhu's footsteps?!

She made up her mind at that moment. Regardless of whether You agreed or not, she would go to Uncle Jiao for advice and pull You off the horse and onto the bed as soon as possible!

…………

Let’s talk about Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and his wife.

After coming out of Aunt Xue's courtyard, he kept urging Ping'er to wait in Mrs. Wang's courtyard and be sure to persuade Jiao Shun to sell the fan bone to the eldest master.

Ping'er was forced to have no choice but to quietly take the one with a thousand blessings and a hundred lives and hurried to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

I can't blame Jia Lian for being confused and insisting on sending those around him into the "tiger's mouth". It's actually because he was a suave person and because of his reputation as the second son of the direct line of Rongguo Mansion, he was always trying to fawn over him.

I don’t know how many women there are, but they have long been accustomed to the mentality of having no children left.

If it were handsome guys like Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, who were of similar background, he might still worry about Rou Baozi beating up the dog.

But Jiao Shun...

How could a lowly slave born as a slave with thick eyebrows and ferocious eyes compare to a noble man like him, Mr. Lian?

Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, Jia Lian did not think anything would happen between Ping'er and Jiao Shun - besides, this was not in Mrs. Wang's courtyard. With the two most square people staring at them, what else could happen?

Talk less.

However, Ping'er hurried to Mrs. Wang's courtyard and couldn't tell clearly that he was here to beg for a fan bone, so he went to find Jin Chuan'er and chatted about domestic matters.

Originally, I wanted to wait for Jiao Shun to come to the appointment, and then take the opportunity to express my intention.

Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, the dishes had already been laid out in the main room, but there was no movement at all, not even Jia Zheng.

Only then did Ping'er realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Jin Chuan'er about Jia Zheng's whereabouts. Only then did he realize that due to a conflict between the couple, Jia Zheng had been staying outside in the study for the past few days, and even brought Aunt Zhao over there.

.

In this case, the second master said that he wanted to hold a banquet in honor of Jiao Shun, so it should be in the study outside!

Ping'er hurriedly said goodbye and then subconsciously looked near Jia Zheng's study room.

Just looking at the dark courtyard door, she hesitated for a moment.

This place is obviously not a place where women and their families should come and go. It's hard for her to go in and chat with Aunt Zhao, right?

He had the intention to go back and resurrect his life, but after touching the fan bone hidden in his sleeve, Ping'er finally forced himself to hide outside the courtyard gate, just waiting for Jiao Shun to come out from inside.

By this time, there had been three rounds of drinking in the study room outside.

Jia Zheng put the construction regulations on the table, pointed with his hand and asked: "My dear nephew, these regulations you drafted seem to be very appropriate if they are used in our Ministry of Works - but why are they not included with the work assistants?"

Do you want to write a book together about what you learned?"

"My nephew, I just thought of this."

Jiao Shun hurriedly explained: "In fact, the Ministry of Industry already has a similar assessment mechanism, but what is missing is detailed analysis and implementation details - but these matters involve national disciplines and laws, how can I dare to make such nonsense as a humble official?"

After a pause, he added: "If you try it out in the government, at most you'll just cut the shoes to fit the shoes; if you implement it directly in the Ministry of Industry, you may accidentally cut the shoes to fit the shoes."
