Originally, after Jia's mother took a lunch break, Jiao Shun was planning to go home to recharge her batteries.

He felt that the gift should satisfy Wang Xifeng, and he was afraid that there would be a gut fight in the evening. If only Wang Xifeng could return it, that would be fine. The food-addicted second grandmother was a complete 'paper tiger', and when she was not in battle, she was all-powerful.

The formation was knocked down with one stab.

But Ping'er is not easy to deal with. He usually doesn't fight or fight for dough, but it can be seen that he has the ability to overcome strength with softness. Specifically speaking, it is equivalent to about 0.7 Li Wan.

Although including Wang Xifeng, the combat power is just over 0.9, but it already needs to be taken seriously.

But before he could apply oil on the soles of his feet, Tanchun gathered his "little friends" and urged him to take advantage of the old lady's lunch break to seize the time to finish the unfinished business in the morning.

At this time, Jia Baoyu also remembered that he still had a few articles that he had not read, so he hurriedly agreed.

Seeing that everyone had this intention, Jiao Shun had no choice but to follow them back to the Champs Elysees.

Although Jia Baoyu was the first to agree, when he started to criticize the article, he was also the first to be defeated.

The reason couldn't be simpler, because on the surface these articles are trying to give the literati group a bad rap, praising Mei Hanlin for being selfless and a role model for the world, and by the way praising the imperial examination system, and occasionally interspersing some current official affairs.

, and took the opportunity to strongly reject the imperial court's preparation for the establishment of an engineering school.

The last one was forgotten. Because the emperor always left manual work for himself, Jia Baoyu didn't like engineering very much. But the rest of them were basically the same clichés that he hated most in his life.

.

Because these were all written by the sisters, and they had already told him that there were hidden secrets in them, I was afraid that he would not be able to stop himself from reading even half of the article and start talking nonsense.

But even though he knew there was a mystery hidden in it, his temples still felt a dull pain from reading it, so he finally endured reading it and hurriedly pulled out the essay "Wash Your Eyes".

Compared with those articles, this essay with a strong sense of life was quite to his liking.

The focus of his attention was undoubtedly those beautiful daily lives. As for the trivial matters added by Jiao Shun, such as the business difficulties encountered by Xue Biao, or the social interactions based on interests, etc., they were all ignored.

He skipped it.

In short, he basically immersed himself in those daily essays this afternoon, reading them over and over again. He was so fascinated that he even thought about writing a memoir.

but……

When he thought about facing the painful memory of breaking up with Lin Daiyu and the embarrassing situation that he had to marry Xue Baochai, he gave up the idea again.

And it wasn't until Xue Baochai took the essay away from his hand with a slight smile on his face but a look of indifference that Jia Baoyu suddenly remembered that this thing was written by Xue Baochai.

At the moment, I don't know how to respond.

Seeing him being so helpless, Xue Baochai sighed secretly. In Baochai's opinion, whether he tried to make herself happy or simply expressed his feelings, it would be better than this coward who couldn't get up and get down.

But it is impossible to say how disappointed Baochai was.

After all, the most fundamental reason why she approved of this marriage was to deepen the relationship between Jia and Xue's family, so as to ensure that she could protect her brother in the future and prevent him from losing all the Xue family's wealth.

As for Jia Baoyu himself, he ranks behind.

Of course, even so, she still hopes to be harmonious after marriage. At least before today, she still has some expectations for this.

But now...

Forget it, how many people in this world can really do it?

Most of them are just blind marriages to make ends meet. Even my aunt and uncle, who have known each other since childhood and treated each other like guests for decades before and after marriage, are now in a state where they have no contact with each other until death.

Why should I be demanding anything more?

If you can save the Xue family's foundation, it will be enough for you to complete this marriage.

What's more, Baoyu just does nothing, which is better than those who treat their wives harshly, hitting or scolding them.

But no matter how much she comforted herself, when she glanced at Jiao Shun from the corner of her eye, she still inevitably showed a look of regret. At first, she only saw that Brother Jiao was a gambler, but she never thought that he was a slave.

Can have the vision and skill to match his ambition!

But no matter how much I regret it, it's already too late now...

But it was said that Jiao Shunzheng and Xue Biao were discussing how to add some iconic things in the essay, such as some oral habits, so that when things get fermented later, these oral habits can be used to quickly remind people of the plot in the essay.

Although this thing doesn't seem to be of much use at first glance, it has a subtle effect. Anyway, it is Xue Biao who is ultimately executed, so you might as well give it a try if it is useful or not.

As a result, just as he was talking, he suddenly realized that someone was peeping at him. He looked around calmly with the corner of his eyes, but before he could confirm who this person was, he heard Wang Xifeng's iconic laughter coming from outside the door.

.

Why is she here?

Could it be that I can’t hold back after receiving a gift...

"Second sister-in-law is here!"

Tanchun hurriedly shouted: "Put away all the articles quickly, lest she sees and asks!"

As he spoke, he gathered everyone's articles together and quietly put his own at the top, then stuffed it into Jiao Shun's hands and said: "It seems like it's not a good time to discuss these things today. Brother Jiao might as well take them back and take some time to read them."

Look through it, we have to finalize the manuscript in the next two days!"

As soon as Jiao Shun took it and carefully put it in his sleeve, Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun had already welcomed Wang Xifeng in.

As soon as he saw the gift box Wang Xifeng brought, Jiao Shun knew something was wrong.

Wang Xifeng's guess was right. He didn't prepare this thing for this hot girl. It was just because she pressed hard that she temporarily took it out to top the cylinder.

However, Wang Xifeng made a mistake in her analysis. That is, the snowflake crystal ball driven by a kerosene lamp was not prepared for Shi Xiangyun, but for Aunt Xue. Compared with Shi Xiangyun, Aunt Xue was more likely to be attracted by this cute style.

Inspire girls' hearts.

"Yo~"

Wang Xifeng glanced at Jiao Shun when she entered the door, raised her hand to ruffle her hair and said in a tone of voice: "Why are there outsiders here? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come."

"Sister-in-law, this is a far-reaching statement."

When Jiao Shun saw her attitude, he understood that his original intention must have been seen through. However, this was also caused by Wang Xifeng's urging, so it was not a big trouble. Therefore, he immediately smiled and said: "I don't care about Sister Xiangyun, Er."

Grandma shouldn't treat me like an outsider."

Ever since he got engaged to Xiangyun, he rarely addressed his second mistress in front of outsiders. Therefore, this call immediately reminded Wang Xifeng of the three fierce battles before and after. Her heart skipped a few times, but she forced herself to suppress it.

.

Angrily, Bai glared at Jiao Shun, and Wang Xifeng said to Baochai and Xiangyun on the side: "I came here to offer a treasure, but who would have thought that the real owner of this treasure is also present? Isn't this just a trick? You guys hurry up

Drive this person away so that I can show you how rare it is!"

It was heard that Wang Xifeng came to offer a treasure, and coupled with her words, everyone naturally understood that it was Jiao Shun's "generous gift" that had arrived.

Jia Baoyu immediately became energetic and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law has benefited from Brother Jiao, but how can she still have the nerve to chase him away? Bring it to us quickly. If it is really novel and interesting, we can just ask Brother Jiao to reward one as well."

"That's not okay!"

Wang Xifeng raised an eyebrow: "I finally got a filial piety. If you all get it too, then it won't be rare for me unless he can find something even rarer for me!"

"Then let's see the assembly, shall we?"

Tan Chun smiled and stepped forward, took her arm, shook it gently and said, "Look at how impatient Brother Bao is. My dear sister-in-law, please stop showing off."

Jia Baoyu immediately joined in and imitated some scratching movements, which made everyone burst into laughter. Wang Xifeng then stopped his gesture, winked at Ping'er and said: "This thing needs to be darker to be fun. You should close the doors and windows."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiao Shun had already told Xue Biao to close the doors and windows.

Ping'er also placed the gift box on the desk and carefully took the 'treasure' out for display.

Everyone was amazed when they saw it, and Jia Baoyu seemed to like it even more. He walked around the crystal ball and twisted the spring over and over again, until everyone finished talking about the principle of this thing, and

The topic spread elsewhere, and he was reluctant to let go.

Jiao Shun was speechless as he watched on the sidelines. Even he, the 'inventor', never expected that it turned out that the person in this house who was most likely to arouse the hearts of girls was not Aunt Xue, but Jia Baoyu, a man.

However, considering that Baoyu had gone to great lengths to acquire all the Barbie dolls in the past, it is not surprising that he would behave like this.

Just when he thought of this, he saw Jia Baoyu clinging to Wang Xifeng like candy, insisting on giving her something in exchange for this 'treasure'.

But even though the object he proposed was more than ten times higher than the cost of this treasure, Wang Xifeng still refused to let it go.

He had no choice but to pester Jiao Shun again, asking Jiao Shun to get another one that was exactly the same. If that didn't work, something similar would do, as long as it was girlish.

Jiao Shun was helpless and looked at Wang Xifeng subconsciously.

Wang Xifeng chuckled softly: "If you want to give it to him, I can't stop you. But if this one is no longer rare, then I have to pay tribute to another rare one!"

When Jiao Shun heard this, he rushed to Baoyu and spread his hands helplessly: "Brother Bao also heard it. It's not that I'm stingy. I really don't have that many rare things to give away."

Jia Baoyu was dejected for a while, and then he persistently pestered Wang Xifeng. This time he did not ask directly, but asked Wang Xifeng to lend him a few days from time to time, preferably half a month at Wang Xifeng's house and half a month at Yihong.

In the courtyard.

Wang Xifeng really couldn't stand his hard work, so in the end she had to agree at a discount, but she couldn't say exactly what she would be willing to honor.

There was laughter and commotion in the Champs Elysées.

The people from Zhou Rui's family came outside and said that after the old lady woke up, she took Grandma Liu to visit the garden. The lady asked the grandmothers and girls to hurry over and accompany her.

Jiao Shun was about to take the opportunity to escape, but was caught by Wang Xifeng and ransacked him, so he had to accompany everyone to welcome Jia Mu. He secretly made up his mind that he must look good to this hottie tonight!

Everyone came out of the Lotus Root Pavilion in a bustle, chatting and laughing and found near Qinfang Bridge. They saw Jia Mu leading Grandma Liu and a group of maids to watch the chrysanthemums.

When I got closer, I found that Grandma Liu had no less than a dozen flowers on her head, including yellow, pink, white and purple flowers. They were just like a colorful platter. A young and beautiful one would have complemented each other, but the matching
