My mouth was dry from talking and talking all morning.

By the time I took the minutes of the meeting and reported the latest progress to Shilang Su, it was already past lunch time. In addition, I had an appointment with Ping'er in the afternoon, so I simply stopped eating at the Yamen.

On the pretext that he wanted to inspect various projects - the renovation of palaces, government offices, charity houses and other places in the capital were all contracted by the Department of Renovation and Cleaning, and supervised by the Department of General Affairs - Jiao incidentally left the government office with Liu Changyou.

After welcoming the guests and having a few drinks, the two of them distributed their things.

As the representative of the General Affairs Department, Liu Changyou went to inspect various construction sites; Jiao Shun went to Qingxuguan nearby to hunt for goods.

This is also the old almanac. Since the beginning of winter last year, Jiao Shun has always taken time to take a look around in the middle of the month, but he always comes back disappointed.

He didn't have high hopes this time, but unexpectedly he received something very similar - after all, he had never seen Shi Xiangyun's golden unicorn in person, but only asked Li Wan to roughly describe it, so he could only say that it was very similar.

, we still need to try to verify the specific details.

When he took the golden unicorn out of Qingxu Temple, Jiao Shun couldn't help but feel in a trance.

Originally, I had been looking forward to it day and night, but there was no progress, but I didn’t expect that this would be a double happiness!

However, the Shi family is a prince's house after all, so they are afraid that they may not be willing to agree to the matter of Emperor E's daughter Ying.

Besides, although Shi Xiangyun is good, after all, a hairpin and a pair of daisies are the perfect match for a red building.

Of course, it would be better if it could be collected three times.

By the way, in addition to his godfather, will he also have an uncle who died young and need to continue the family line?

…………

Just when 'Jiao' Shun was filled with desires and desires, she looked towards Shu.

Wang Xifeng had already taken Ping'er and quietly rushed to the provincial residence.

Following Ping'er around, she saw half of the pavilion exposed among the mountains in front of her. She subconsciously tightened her peacock feather cloak tightly and complained angrily: "It's the cold winter, and he doesn't have an appointment at the Nuan Pavilion."

That’s all, why did you choose to be on the top of a windy and leaky mountain?”

Ping'er couldn't stop his gaze and glanced at the back of the mountain. He felt like a mirror in his heart, but he pretended to explain: "Those pavilions are all locked, and even the ones that are not locked are guarded. Grandma

Didn't I tell you to avoid people? He chose this place to comply with your wishes."

Wang Xifeng just complained a few words casually, and after hearing Ping'er's explanation, she didn't say anything more, but Liuye's eyebrows frowned more and more.

When he saw the foot of the mountain, Ping'er stopped and faced Wang Xifeng's puzzled gaze and said, "I'll keep watch down below. If there are any irrelevant ones, I'd better get rid of them as soon as possible to avoid bumping into grandma."

Wang Xifeng had the same idea when she thought about it, but muttered in her mouth: "This is like being a thief in my own home!"

After saying that, she walked up to the top of the mountain step by step, and felt that there was no barrier around her. The wind was indeed biting to the bone, so she quickly put on her hood, pushed up her sleeves, and hugged the hand stove tightly in her arms.

After all, Jiao Shun is not the same as he used to be. When Wang Xifeng came, he made a plan on the road. When he saw Jiao Shun, he would first play the emotional cards of the old master and servant, and then make insidious remarks...

But when I was blown by this mountain wind, I felt extremely aggrieved.

As long as the second master can achieve some level of success in his official career and economy, and does not mean to extract benefits from this house, why would he want to be humble to his former slaves?

Then I thought that the reason why my aunt became suspicious was because Jia Lian was greedy. Although Jia Lian had always denied it, Wang Xifeng believed that she was very clever and the problem would never be her fault. Since it was not her, it could only be Jia Lian's fault.

Not to mention how resentful she was on the mountain.

Ping'er stayed below, saying that he was afraid that outsiders might bump into Wang Xifeng, but in fact, he was being evasive when asking Xu to convey the message, and deliberately kept his words unclear, fearing that Jiao Shun would misunderstand.

It was just that she waited and waited, but before Jiao Shun could go to the appointment, Baoyu came to her face!

Ping'er felt bad, but when he was about to dodge, Jia Baoyu saw him from a distance.

"Sister Ping'er, sister Ping'er!"

I saw him running towards me with his coat in his hands, shouting, his hairpin trembling and laughing, "It's rare to see my sister in the garden, but why did you end up here?"

It's easy to get rid of others, but why do you get stuck on this brown candy?

Ping'er complained in his heart and asked instead of answering: "How did Mr. Bao come here?"

"I just went to Lixiangyuan to listen to them practicing their voice."

Jia Baoyu turned around and pointed behind him and said: "Because those little actors don't sing anymore, I just want to go somewhere else - what is sister doing here?"

Seeing that he was reluctant to ask again, Ping'er could only say casually: "It's not that the house is too plain. I heard that the plum blossoms were blooming in the garden just right, so I wanted to take two back and put them on for decoration..."

"This is good, this is good!"

Before he finished speaking, Jia Baoyu had already jumped three feet high and said repeatedly: "Sister Lin's room is also very tight. Besides, she is afraid of the cold and cannot see the wind. Recently, the room has been stuffy and tight, and it lacks some flowers and plants to decorate it."

As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed towards the southwest: "If you want to talk about the plum blossoms in this garden, the most beautiful ones are the Cuicui Temple. Let me take my sister there!"

Without waiting for Ping'er to answer, he turned sideways and prepared to lead the way. Seeing that Ping'er didn't follow, he kept urging her, without giving Ping'er any chance to refuse.

Ping'er bit her lower lip in distress, regretting that she had found the wrong reason. If she had said earlier that she was here to settle accounts in the garden, Baoyu might have covered her ears and turned around and ran away.

Now it was too late to change my mind, so I had to bite the bullet and said, "Then Mr. Lao will be there."

After a pause, he raised his voice and said: "Let's go back quickly. I have something to report to grandma later."

This was meant for Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng listened attentively on the top of the mountain, listening to Baoyu's boastful words, saying that he and the emperor designed fireworks together yesterday, and he also came up with the idea to build an ice boat on the water. By then, the ice boats in the sky and water would be the same color, so as to live up to the splendor of this moment.

Gradually the voice became distant, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad, so she had to blame Jia Lian a hundred times in her heart.

Just at this moment.

Jiao Shun also sneaked to the bottom of the mountain. Seeing that there was no one around him, he went straight around to the back of the mountain and reached into the cave. Unexpectedly, he missed it.

As I scratched my head and thought about it, I suddenly realized that it was hard for me to get straight to the point in this clear day.

So he tiptoed up to the top of the mountain. He saw a woman sitting sideways in the pavilion, so he went up to hug her without thinking, and said with a smile: "Sister, please wait..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as those two arms were put on the shoulders and were about to wrap around her heart, the woman suddenly turned around, revealing a pretty and sinister face under the hood.

Wang Xifeng?!

Jiao Shun froze on the spot for a moment, stretching out his arms like a chicken and forgetting to take them back.

Wang Xifeng was stunned when she saw his face, then took two steps back cautiously, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Shun, you, what do you want to do?"

"Cough...cough!"

Jiao Shun then retracted his paw in embarrassment, cleared his throat and tried to find an excuse, but for the moment he really had no suitable excuse, so he swallowed and couldn't help coughing again.

Wang Xifeng's face became more and more suspicious. She moved a few steps around Jiao Shun without leaving a trace. She first found an angle to escape, and then asked straight to the point: "My wife left me this time and came specifically to find you."

What is the purpose of valuing a shop?"

Although she doesn't have any long-term wisdom, her quick-sighted calculations can be regarded as brilliant.

He knew that if he insisted on getting to the bottom of things at this time, once Jiao Shun was pushed into a hurry, he would only fall into a greater crisis.

Therefore, she simply kept it quiet and directly asked what she was most concerned about. When Jiao Shun answered, she could get away as soon as possible.

As for that scene just now...

It's not too late to make any calculations after you escape.

When Jiao Shun saw her taking the initiative to change the subject, he felt a little relieved. While thinking about how to cover it up, he casually replied: "It's not easy to talk about this matter, but since the second grandma asked, I

It’s hard to hide it, Aunt... Madam seems to be interested in bringing me and Miss Xue together, so she specifically asked me to participate in this matter."

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Danfeng looked at Jiao Shun up and down with disbelief on his face.

Although she also knew that Jiao Shunfei was the best in the past, she never expected that her aunt would take the initiative to bring him and Baochai together!

But when I thought about it again, I suddenly realized it.

Yes, this must be because Baoyu fell into the emperor's eyes, and the aunt disliked the poverty, loved the wealth, and looked down on the Xue family, so she found Jiao Shun to make up for her.

After regaining her composure, Wang Xifeng nodded slightly: "So that's what happened."

If Jiao Shun's words were followed, she and her husband would be unfounded.

Having received this reassurance and being wary of Jiao Shun's rude behavior just now, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Then I would like to wish you all your wishes come true - it's cold and I really can't stand it today.

Let’s just break up like this.”

With that said, he started walking down the mountain.

Unexpectedly, Jiao Shun, who had been so kind and respectful just now, suddenly crossed his arms and blocked the way, and growled: "Wait a minute!"

He couldn't think of a reason for the moment, and he was worried that letting Wang Xifeng go so unclearly would bring trouble to Ping'er - his arrogant and respectful attitude just now would make anyone think of the wrong person in retrospect.

After thinking about it, I simply made the mistake and learned from Jia Rui!

Although that guy is a negative example of committing suicide, he has inspired future generations - at least judging from the situation at the time, Wang Xifeng would only secretly plan revenge when encountering such a thing, and would not openly show his face.

Bright place.

Jiao Shun, on the other hand, was afraid that she would shout out and that it would involve Ping'er.

As for secret revenge...

He is not a good-for-nothing like Jia Rui. He is just trying to find ways to deal with each other.

At that moment, his face was ambiguous and he said: "It's not because of my abruptness. Second Master Lian has been really bad lately. Not even the servants in the house are enough to cause harm to him. Even the young boy is not willing to let him go. I heard that he often goes out to study with the young boy."

The servants are all sleeping together..."
