Chapter 372 Huo Mu Daily [Part 1](1/2)

[Still accumulating energy for the leader...]

In a flash, it was four or five days again.

These days, while Jiao Shun is busy dealing with official duties, he also decides to marry his newly adopted goddaughter to Jia Yun.

Jia Yun is walking happily these days and is walking tall. She takes the initiative to share more official duties without Lai Wang's urging. She seems to be ready to die for her 'father-in-law'.

Not to mention this.

But on June 20th, I met Jiao Shunxiu Mu again...

…………

Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

After several days of rest, Lin Daiyu's condition has improved greatly. Her fever has subsided and her cough has gradually diminished. She finished her medicine this morning, and she even took the initiative to let Zicuckoo and Xueyan help her get up and change clothes.

When Sister Lin was fully dressed and sat in front of the dressing table, Zijuan pulled her hair while looking at her reflection in the mirror and smiled: "The girl's complexion is indeed much better. Fortunately, Aunt Xing sent someone to ask about it sooner or later, and she sent it as a gift."

There are so many good medicinal materials - I don’t know where she bought them, but they are of better quality than what we have in our house."

Xue Yan was putting bottles and jars containing rouge and gouache on the table. Hearing this, he immediately said: "What's so strange about this? Mr. Jiao has business in Yunnan and Guizhou, and many medicines there can moisturize the lungs and relieve coughs."

The result is exactly what our girl's symptoms are like - my sister has not seen that our girl's health has been much better a while ago? If it hadn't been for this time... Fortunately, nothing serious happened, and the girl will never dare to mess around alone in the future!"

"When did I mess up?"

Lin Daiyu chewed on the carmine paper, glanced at Xueyan like a benefactor, and then said again before Xueyan could refute: "I've been bored for the past few days, and I want to go out for a walk."

Xue Yan immediately forgot to quarrel with her and said hurriedly: "Then let's help the girl go to the yard. It's quite cool in the Xiang Bamboo Forest this morning and night."

Lin Daiyu shook her head slightly, frowned her delicate eyebrows, and said lightly: "I want to go see the second sister."

Hearing the words 'Second Sister', Zicuckoo behind her couldn't help but sigh: "Although I haven't been there these past few days, I have listened to Cui Wei, Shishu and the others talking about it. The second girl still guards the book every day.

"Tai Shang Induction Sutra", it's just that there are fewer and fewer words - well, these two girls are really unlucky, if they had been engaged to Uncle Jiao, how could such a thing happen? "

Xue Yan also sighed and added: "I heard that Sister Xiuju was seriously ill - it's a pity that she is not as lucky as Sister Siqi, and she happened to catch up with Aunt Xing to get married..."

Unless there is a special reason, the fate of the personal maid is basically tied to her master, so she only thinks that Xiu Ju is afraid of marrying into the Sun family, but she doesn't know that Xiu Ju has already obtained Jiao Shun's promise and has wasted it.

The sentimentality of feeling sympathy for each other.

The three of them sighed, but they lost interest in talking.

After finishing their makeup, the two of them escorted Lin Daiyu out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

The Xiaoxiang Pavilion is located in the southwest of the Grand View Garden. To go to the Zhujin Pavilion, you should go north. However, before going out, Zijuan suddenly thought that Mrs. Wang had sent people to visit several times in the past few days. She was still ill before, but now she paid it back.

Since you can go out and walk around, you should go there first for both emotional and rational reasons.

Although Lin Daiyu and her second aunt dislike each other, she still has to take into account the outward etiquette.

So he turned to the east, preparing to pass the Qinfang Pavilion Bridge in front of the main entrance, pass by Lotus Pavilion, Yihong Courtyard, Cong Cui'an and other places, and then go to Qingtang Cottage in the northeast corner.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the bridge, she saw Jiao Shun walking out of the Qinfang Pavilion in the center of the bridge. Lin Daiyu remembered Xing Xiuyan's joke about "concurrently", and two groups of bright red immediately appeared on her originally white and jade face.

He wanted to stay away, but Jiao Shun had already seen him. He had received so many favors from the Jiao family, so how could he avoid him inexplicably?

Thinking that Sister Xing might not tell Brother Jiao about those 'jokes', Lin Daiyu hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to greet him and said a blessing, raised her head and asked with a smile: "Brother Jiao, why do you have time to come to this garden today?"

Jiao Shun had always preferred plump women, and although he had ambitions for Lin Daiyu, he had always been a bit dissatisfied. Now he was unexpectedly surprised by this smile.

Regarding this so-called "morbid beauty", Jiao Shun has always only heard the voice but not seen the person, but Lin Daiyu, who has just recovered from a serious illness, seems to have used these three words to the fullest!

Even a scumbag like him, who has been surrounded by women for two lifetimes, couldn't help but have the urge to protect Sister Lin for the rest of his life in front of that exquisite and delicate beauty that seemed to break at the touch of a touch.

Strangely enough, at the beginning of the year, Xue Pan jumped into the river for her.

Fortunately, Jiao Shun has gone through a lot of storms in the past few years. Although his heart is full of turbulence, he can still maintain basic etiquette on his face. He smiled and returned the courtesy: "It's not because of the car-making business - last time

I sent a tricycle and a rickshaw. I originally wanted to wait for the Bao brothers to review and comment before deciding on the next production and sales plan. Who knows..."

He spread his hands and said helplessly: "Who would have thought that after waiting for several days and not seeing any news about Brother Bao, taking advantage of today's rest, I have no choice but to come to your door again."

Although this business is not an important matter, the emperor has a short temper after all. If he is made to feel that he is not doing things well, wouldn't it be a waste of heaven's favor?

Hearing that it was Baoyu's fault again, Lin Daiyu nodded slightly without surprise. Xueyan on the side couldn't help but interjected: "I'm afraid it's an unlucky time for you to come here. Second Master Bao is probably not at home now."

"Why, he went out to visit friends?"

Jiao Shun said in surprise: "But I just asked the lady guarding the door, and they all said that Brother Bao is at home."

"He is at home, but not in his little home - I heard that these days he always runs to the Cuicui Temple, and he can stay there for twelve hours a day!"

That day, Jia Baoyu hit a snag at her uncle's place. When she got home, she smashed everything up. She didn't want to but unexpectedly translated the verses and Zen poems she had written before. Suddenly, she had an 'epiphany' again. She felt that the mortal world was full of troubles.

You need to go to that cool and comfortable place to transcend.

There are quite a few family temples in the Grand View Garden. There are twenty or thirty Taoist nuns in total. But when Baoyu thinks of the pure place, he only thinks of Cuicui Temple - for no other reason than those twenty or thirty Taoist nuns.

Even if a nun is put together, she can't compare to the beauty of Miaoyu.

However, he heard that Xue Yan had some intention of mocking Bao Yu, so Jiao Shun secretly gave her a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Thanks to Miss Xue Yan for reminding me, I'll just go straight to Caocui'an - after all, this is the place where I went."

I mean, don’t do too much and delay it.”

After saying that, he turned to Lin Daiyu and told her: "Although Sister Lin is better now, she can't stand the fatigue after recovering from a serious illness. If you want to travel far, you might as well bring the rickshaw and let the servants take turns pulling it."

"Brother Chengjiao is concerned."

Lin Daiyu always felt awkward in the face of Jiao Shun's concern because of her "all-in-one" rhetoric. She subconsciously turned her head, revealing a section of her pale neck: "I'm just walking around in this garden, there's no need to mobilize a crowd."

Jiao Shun saw that she was a little embarrassed, so he excused himself hurriedly and walked away quickly.

Xue Yan watched Jiao Shun's tall figure disappear around the corner, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "This is how you do big things. It's like Mr. Bao getting entangled when he sees a beautiful woman."

Lin Daiyu frowned: "What are you doing to bring him up?"

With that said, he took the initiative to choose a different path from Jiao Shun and headed towards Qingtang thatched cottage.

However, when Jiao Shun came to the hillside where Guancui Nunnery is located, he heard the clear and melodious sound of the piano coming from the forest. Knowing that it must be Miaoyu's handiwork, he followed the sound to the outside of the nunnery, leaning on his tall figure and standing on tiptoe.

My feet peeked inside.

In the side hall with the wide open door, Miaoyu, who had rarely changed into a secular dress, with wide sleeves and fluttering skirt, kneeling and playing the piano, was only separated from Jia Baoyu, who was shaking his head and immersed in the music.

A rising little incense burner.

That white dress paired with her cool and delicate facial features gave people the feeling that she should have been isolated from the world, but at this time, she felt like she was in full bloom for someone.

Bah~

What the hell!

Grain

Jiao Shun spat sourly. This fake nun put on a noble face in front of Xiuyan, but secretly she fell down in front of the pretty boy?!

"Cough~"

He cleared his throat heavily and interrupted the "playing the piano against a cow" with a rough voice: "May I ask if Brother Bao is in the temple?"

The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and then Miaoyu's cold voice was faintly heard from inside: "I don't follow the secular trend here. If you want to welcome him in, I will have to ask you out."

Not long after, the courtyard door opened and Jia Baoyu slipped out through the crack in the door. He quickly closed the door tightly with his backhand, as if he was afraid that Jiao Shun would rush in and disturb the peace.

Bah~

What the hell, can’t Uncle Jiao go in if he likes it?!

Jiao Shun secretly spat again, feeling increasingly displeased with Miaoyu in his heart, but smiling on his face: "Brother Bao is indeed here, it's really easy for me to find him."

Jia Baoyu was a little confused when he heard this: "Brother Jiao, what do you want me to do? Is it because he has a new car?"

As he said that, he looked behind Jiao Shun.

Seeing his confused look, Jiao Shun couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said with a wry smile: "Brother, have you forgotten that we agreed to discuss building a factory? Your Majesty's share of the money has already been transferred to the inner government account.

, how can we delay it any longer?"

"this……"

Jia Baoyu suddenly realized that he had only been thinking about the scene these days, so what else could he remember about the great cause of building cars?

Especially this matter involves tens of thousands of taels of silver...

He scratched his face and said hesitantly: "Actually, this kind of thing cannot be solved overnight. Let's discuss it in the long term."

"Then let's discuss it quickly!"

Although Jiao Shun had already seen in the Ministry of Industry how old bureaucrats were trying to make foreign workers play ball, he was still furious when he saw Jia Baoyu's "I'll do it next time" face.

She dragged him back to Yihong Courtyard, and when she was about to take out the charter she had drawn up, so that this boy could see what it means to be efficient, she suddenly saw Caixia coming in a hurry, saying that it was his wife who invited me, and it was Jiao Jiao who was invited.

The uncle and Mr. Bao went there together.

Both Jiao Shun and Jia Baoyu were a little confused, but since Mrs. Wang wanted to meet her, they naturally wanted to go there.

…………

at the same time.

Aunt Zhao and Jia Tanchun, mother and daughter, gathered together again in Qiushuangzhai.
To be continued...
