Chapter 176

A coincidence of Lantern Festival.

Although Ping'er never blamed Jiao Shun, she had some grudges and then began to focus on Jiao Shun and avoid seeing him.

As for Li Wan, Jiao Shun stopped halfway and Ping'er helped cover it up, she thought it was a big dream from beginning to end. As for the problem of the dream being too clear and real, she just thought it was listened too much.

The nonsense of the family was involuntarily applied the plot in his dream.

But since then, Li Wan originally intended to alienate Youshi, but firstly, she was thinking about Jiao Shun's kindness, and it was difficult to completely turn against Youshi; secondly, after Jia Lan entered school, she felt like she had been cut off in her heart.

A large piece of it was so empty that it was very uncomfortable. You came to talk to him every now and then, but it could barely fill it.

However, in this way, I had to listen to some things that were so stupid that the scenes in the cave frequently fell into dreams, and the number of appearances of my husband Jia Zhu decreased again and again, completely becoming a supporting role from the protagonist.

Time flies.

It was already April's beauty in the blink of an eye.

Early on the seventh day of the lunar month, Jiao Shun finished his morning exercise. While signaling Xiangling to bring a towel to wipe her sweat, he said to Yuchuan, who also came to meet, "You don't need to serve you here for now. Go to Bao Brothers' Courtyard to urge you.

I urged, today is a big day, and I am just trembling, so don’t delay it.”

Because of the specific matters, Yu Chuan hurriedly gave Xiangling the tray on her hand and rushed to Baoyu Garden.

At that time, Baoyu was still lying high in the inner room. Xiren combed his temples and greeted him with a smile: "What wind blows my sister early this morning? Could it be that Mr. Jiao has any explanation?"

"how?"

Yuchuan was stunned when she heard this: "No Master Bao told you?"

"No, what's the matter?"

Seeing his expression, Xiren knew that it must be nothing small, so he hurriedly pulled Yuchuan to ask about the truth.

Yuchuan said, "Has the messenger from the Uxi people arrived half a month ago? That's the Duke of Ah?"

At the end of last year, Wang Ziteng was ordered to contact the people of Wuxi in Guangdong and Guangxi. However, Wuxi was thousands of miles away. At that time, Wuxi had just received the war report. What he tried to contact the imperial court in Guangdong and Guangxi was nothing but

The Uxi people sent local governors to the local government could not make decisions on such military and national affairs.

Therefore, the two sides had no progress except for arguing. It was not until the end of February that King Usi sent a special envoy, his younger brother Duke Adolphus, who was allowed to go to Beijing to hold formal peace talks with the court.

Such big news newspapers are full of articles.

Hearing Yuchuan mention this, Xiren hurriedly said, "I naturally know this - on the day the Wuxi people entered Beijing, Mr. Liu shot the foreigner's flags in Sifang Pavilion, and our second master said so much.

Back!"

After the Lantern Festival, Liu Xianglian really visited Jiao Shun. After a while, they had a friendship between the two sides, so they introduced Feng Ziying, Baoyu and others to meet.

Everyone just loved his appearance, but on March 17th, the day the Wuxi envoy entered Beijing, he did a big thing--the mission just raised the Wuxi flag in the Sifang Pavilion, and he was at sixty steps.

A shot fell from outside!

The sensational was caused by the sensationality. The men in Sijiu City all admired Liu Xianglian when they mentioned it. Even the court was just openly trying to arrest "Leng Erlang", but secretly let him go.

His outstanding appearance and his heroic deeds were sat down, so he was determined to accompany Baoyu. He couldn't help but feel excited when he lifted it.

After calming down, Xi Rencai said wonderingly: "But what does this have to do with our second master?"

"It's a big deal!"

Yuchuan explained: "Our master had long guessed that foreigners value profits and needed to discuss business with the court, so..."

While Jiao Shun was luring him to benefit, Liu Changyou's master and apprentice worked hard to study the method of making kerosene, and spent a lot of effort to improve it, greatly reducing the production cost.

At the same time, the peace talks between the two countries gradually fell into a deadlock:

The Xia Kingdom asked Uxi to cede land and pay compensation, bowed down and provided Daxia with four ironclad ships for dismantling and research, and promised not to infringe on the seas, no longer selling Y films to Daxia, etc.

The Uxi people only promised not to invade the sea border of Xia, and required the Daxia army to evacuate the Uxi people's colonies, abolish the trade ban that affected the entire East Asia region, open more trade ports, set up permanent envoys to each other, etc.

wait.

After half a month of verbal confrontation, the two sides initially reached a certain degree of compromise in terms of military, commitments and territorial division, and the focus of the debate gradually focused on compensation and trade.

Just as Jiao Shun expected, the Uxi people were eager to open up the Xia market to avoid the continued expansion of the trade deficit with Xia, but they were struggling with no products that could be produced. According to the words of a certain emperor of the previous dynasty, it was: the heavenly dynasty had abundant products and omnipresent.

, originally did not belong to foreign goods to communicate whether they exist or not.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Jiao Shun wrote a letter to present lamps and oils at the right time, and proposed the initiative of "measure the wealth of friendly countries and shine on our Chinese people."

It is recommended to link compensation to trade, and the Uxi people pay to subsidize the people of Xia Kingdom to purchase kerosene lamps. Then the imperial court handed over the formula for extracting kerosene to the Uxi people, and the Uxi people supply kerosene from overseas, which would benefit the people.

Popularize lighting equipment to reduce lighting costs; secondly, it also alleviates the anxiety of the Uxi people about the trade deficit; thirdly, it can also give the Uxi people a step forward and downplay the impact of the compensation.

This is exactly the same as Jiao Shun's previous idea of ​​working part-time to assist in learning, and it can be said that he can win three goals in one fell swoop and benefit the country and the people.

As a result, the imperial court had not yet discussed the results. The Wuxi delegation lost news and suddenly proposed to conduct a field visit three days ago to see if the kerosene transaction had a future.

After a fierce debate, Emperor Longyuan finally decided to conduct an investigation and verification today - not only did the Wuxi people investigate the prospects of this thing, but the imperial court also sent a special person to understand it.

Yuchuan said this and pointed at her complacently, "I heard from our master that the court attaches great importance to this matter. Today, not only is the Duke of Uxi, who is coming, but also the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue.

, Ministry of War, Tongzheng Department, Ministry of Internal Affairs... Anyway, a lot of people are coming, even the envoys of Akatsuki Country are coming!"

The root cause is that the dispute between Daxia and Wuxi actually originated from the invasion of the country of Qianxiang.

Moreover, this southern expedition was strongly supported by Akatsuki, so the peace talks were naturally not easy to go without them alone. In fact, as early as mid-February, the messenger of Akatsuki had arrived in the capital in advance and participated in the whole process.

Have a peace talk.

But Xiren was patient. After listening to Yuchuan's long speech, he finally couldn't help asking again: "But what does this have to do with our second master?"

"Why is it okay!"

Yuchuan glared and said, "In order to make Mr. Bao show his face, our grandfather specially arranged for him to accompany him to explain. This matter has been reported to the superiors. If Mr. Bao was too late, wouldn't it be a delay in the court's affairs!"

"Why didn't you say this earlier?"

Xiren was anxious when he heard this, and got up and wanted to wake Baoyu up inside.

It happened that Qingwen came in from outside and quickly explained: "You are here just right, let's sit here with Sister Yuchuan for a while. I'll call the second master up!"

As he said that, he called Qiuwenbihen again.

Seeing that the three of them entered the inner room with clarity or confusion, Qingwen couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong? I just played with my sisters until midnight yesterday, and I was furious and fucked him like a shocking wind early in the morning?"

"The second master Bao is really..."

I heard that Baoyu had a fuss until midnight yesterday, Yuchuan couldn't help but complain, but she was too lazy to talk more, so she asked in a voice: "What's the matter with my sister? Have you ever found that Mingyan?"

In early February, Wu Gui once again entrusted Jiao Shun's way and transferred back to Tianxingjian's shop, and worked as a clerk under Manager Li.

Qingwen was grateful for Jiao Shun's kindness, and was also annoyed that Mingyan was responsible for causing Baoyu to be damaged, so she made up her mind to help Jiao Shun punish Mingyan, and it would be best to drive him away from Baoyu.

only……

"I want to find his shortcomings!"

Qingwen said with some resentment: "Uncle Jiao took Master Bao Er to the yamen every few days. Whenever he had time, he had to serve his wife. Old lady, he was not free, so how could Mingyan have the chance to make a mistake.

?”

"Is this so much that we blamed?"

Yuchuan curled her lips: "It was Mr. Zheng who told me before leaving that I would like to help take charge of Mr. Shu Bao's second master - in short, my sister would better think of some ways to avoid making us anxious."

Qingwen was still waiting to reply, but Baoyu shouted in it: "I don't care about any credit, reputation! They coaxed me one by one. Could it be that they were going to force me to death?"

Seeing Yuchuan's face becoming ugly, Qingwen hurriedly explained with a wry smile: "You know what kind of temper Mr. Bao is. Most of the time, he is sleeping and not awake yet."

Yuchuan secretly complained that this kind of good thing that people don’t have to take any responsibility for showing their saints in front of them, and others can’t even grab them. However, this Baoyu dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn’t know the good people’s hearts.

The mistake is that I think that I have to rely on others' roofs, and I really wish I could leave with anger.

Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "You go in and say it, and you will say that the leader of the team is King Beijing today, and the prince's face must always be taken into consideration."

Although Qingwen was a little confused, she still went into the house and said this according to her suggestion.

Soon, Baoyu shouted in the room again: "Where is the one I went to Beijing Palace to wear? Come find it quickly, don't miss the prince's business!"

Skip~

This young master who cannot support the mud is indeed in a very different relationship with King Beijing, and his sister only hides her ears and refuses to believe it!

Yuchuan remembered the sister relationship that had not yet eased, and she couldn't help but feel more and more disgusted with what Jia Baoyu did - or the world is unpredictable, and people's hearts are easy to change, until she was transferred to the Jiao family in September last year, she admired the most in her heart.

It's actually Baoyu.

Therefore, when Qingwen came out from inside, Yuchuan got up and said goodbye.

But she was called back shortly after she left.

But it turned out that the news that Jia Baoyu wanted to show his saints in front of him soon spread in the mansion. Baochai, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Sanchun and others heard it and came to ask for the truth.

Pian Baoyu had been determined to resist the conflict before, and he did not reveal anything in front of others in advance. Xiren was only half aware of it, so he had to ask Yuchuan to come back and ask about the truth.

Wait until Yuchuan tells everything she knows.

However, the girls had different expressions, and half of them were happy and worried.

Lin Daiyu said first, "Why did you choose him? If you make a fool of yourself in public..."

"Don't worry, Miss Lin!"

Yuchuan hurriedly patted her chest and promised: "Our master Bao Er's participation two months ago. In the past half month, he even made a draft early, so that Master Bao Er's familiarity with his chest - plus our master

Mr. Yun looked around and was designated to get a good start!”

I heard that Jiao Shun had already made arrangements, and everyone's worries immediately left 70%.

Tanchun couldn't help asking: "In this way, this matter was not a coincidence, but your master had already planned it? How could he have expected that the foreign devils would be interested in these two months in advance?"

"It's more than two months!"

Yu Chuan hurriedly explained: "Last year, when the iron-armored steamships of the Uxi people were in the sea, we guessed that we would have to fight one more time, so we had to study the affairs of the Uxi country. Now, we are afraid of Sifang Pavilion.

Those Jinshi masters may not know much more than our masters!”

Because of Baochai's words, Tanchun changed his impression of Jiao Shun. Now, he heard that he was so pretentious that he prepared for the Uxi people a few months in advance, and he became more and more impressed by him.

Xue Baochai was paying attention to the other side, and sighed with relief: "Brother Bao has really made progress this time. If he had changed his past, he would have been so far away from such a thing."

"But that's the case."

Lin Daiyu continued: "He is so obedient, but I don't believe it."

There is still worry in the words.

"It's extreme, it's extreme."

Shi Xiangyun nodded seriously and said, "Brother Bao used to only listen to Sister Lin, and we all think everything is in front of us."

"You rambler, don't you think I..."

Seeing Lin Daiyu stomping her feet and getting angry, Yuchuan hurriedly said, "Our master has spent a lot of effort. He had specially invited his wife to come forward before, so he coaxed Mr. Bao to surrender."

"What I said."

Lin Daiyu immediately forgot Xiangyun and said frowningly: "The Wuxi people heard that red eyebrows and green eyes are eating raw meat and drinking blood, which is more vulgar than the savages in the mountains. If they scare him out of the blue, what should they do? This is a matter of fact.

Why did you choose him..."

As he was talking, he suddenly saw Wang Xifeng picking up a curtain and pointing at the handkerchief, saying, "Okay, I said, why are there no one in sight? The feelings are hidden here! Let's go with me, where is the old lady?

—When the old lady heard about Brother Bao, she had already sent Lin Zhixiao to take her men to the yamen to guard her. Any good news can be transmitted back immediately!"

As he said that, he said to Yuchuan: "You come too, the old lady is worried that she can't find out the truth! Brother Bao is the same. Such a big thing is hidden from the house!"

After her interruption, Daiyu couldn't say anything else, so she could only drive her to the old lady's house with her sisters.

It was just an old lady, Xing, Wang, Li Wan, You and other decent women from the East and West Mansions had long gathered here, and they were all happy, no matter how much time difference was than the time when the palace ladies were awarded the title of concubine.

.

It's no wonder that the younger generation of the Rongning and Ning Mansions really lacks one who can take the lead. Even if you show your face this time, you may not be able to go to the Heaven Ting. You may have a good start.

Good thing.

But when he entered the door, Mrs. Wang came forward and grabbed Yuchuan, and said with a smile: "You are here. Xiangling's girl didn't know when she asked her. But I just heard Brother Shun mention some fur.

The wife didn't understand just now, and she was losing her temper at us."

As he said that, he personally led him to the old lady and stood side by side with Xiangling, who had been found.

Originally, because the Jiao family and the Lai family were not in harmony, the old lady had been ignoring Jiao Shun recently, but today she completely changed her color and pulled Yuchuan with affable questions.

Seeing this scene, who doesn’t know that after today, Jiao Shun’s market in the house will be bullish again?

So two women thought at the same time: If he could really train Brother Bao [Brother Bao] to a successful career, the mansion would never be reluctant to marry a concubine's daughter and further bind the relationship between the two parties.

So one of the sun flew on his cheeks and the other looked hesitant.

Another woman inside said, if he could help his son like this, why worry about Brother's future?

only……

There is no reason in this world that you have always been favored for no reason. It is always right to have come and go.

But what can I give him?
