Until she returned home, Mei Guangyan was still a little confused.

Not only is he incompatible with Jiao Shun, but at least he has always had old grudges - although it was mainly because of his resentment to Jiao Shun and the Xue family, when he retired from marriage, he used Jiao Shun as a reason.

So in Mei Guangyan's opinion, Jiao Shun must also be hostile to him.

Therefore, when he heard that he was going to be sent to be a supervisor, although he was reluctant, he also felt that it was reasonable for Jiao Shun to make things difficult for him.

But who would have thought that Jiao Shun suddenly asked to come to his house to pay condolences?

If it is before the first seventh period, it can be said to be social engagements.

But he clearly told him that the funeral had already ended, so he still insisted on making up for a "ritual". This is really difficult to understand?

Show goodwill?

But if there are too many ways to show good things, there is no need to come here, right?

Mei Guangyan stroked her beard and pondered for a long time, but she couldn't figure out what it was. It was not until his wife came over to ask if she wanted to cook food, and he realized that it was already noon.

After getting up and moving his muscles and bones a little, Mei Guangyan asked casually: "Where is Baosen?"

"Didn't the master ask him to go to the college to take leave? Since he has arrived at the college, he must have gathered with a few classmates who are familiar with him."

"oh."

Mei Guangyan nodded suddenly and asked again: "Where did the things removed from the mourning hall a while ago be placed?"

Old Mrs. Mei's first seventh day had passed, and even the coffin was encapsulated and moved to another place. She was waiting for her trip to go south for burial, so the mourning hall had naturally been demolished long ago.

But since Jiao Shun is coming to pay his respects, he always has to arrange some things.

"Why did the master ask about these?"

Mrs. Mei turned her eyes uncomfortable and said, "After all, it's unlucky, and they're all dealt with just that, not very expensive."

In fact, the real reason is not unlucky, but every time Madam Mei sees those things, she will remember the humiliation she endured in the mourning hall. So when the July 1st is over, she ordered people to throw away all the related items.

"Oh~"

Mei Hanlin sighed and said helplessly: "It's not that Jiao Shun. He heard that his mother had just passed away a while ago and insisted on coming to our mansion to pay condolences. I'll stop him..."

Speaking of this, I suddenly saw that my wife looked strange and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

Mrs. Mei hurriedly pretended to be distressed and said, "Since he was coming to pay his respects, he had to re-arrange it—the tablets, white cloth and other things are easy to say, so what should my mother's coffin?"

"Of course I can't alarm my mother!"

Mei Guangyan said firmly: "Just make a little arrangement. It's his business that he insists on coming. If we please, what will happen if we spread it?"

Mrs. Mei said, "Yes", but she was very worried in secret. She thought that the master said lightly, but she had a huge handle on her hands. If he was waiting for an opportunity, what else could he do except to flatter her?

The way?

It was not that Mrs. Mei had never thought that she would just hide out then.

The problem is that this matter is not a one-time deal. In the future, my husband will be an official under Jiao Shun. If he avoids this time, it is difficult to guarantee that Jiao Shun will not seek compensation from other places, or even become more and more serious...

So after thinking about it, she finally chose to wait passively.

…………

It is approaching evening.

Shuan Zhu directed the two yamen runners and carefully carried a large box onto the carriage. The yamen runners were familiar with Shuan Zhu, and they were rubbing their wrists and laughing half-truely: "Master Hu, what's in it?"

, It's this one that's dead, right?"

As he said that, he compared Brother Kong Fang's style.

“Boom~”

Hu Shuanzhu sniffed and said, "Is there anything else in your eyes except money? I will tell you the truth, it contains the night pearls that are the size of a thunderbolt and a pebbled night egg!"

"Master Hu, you're just joking."

The yamen runner was still asking again, and Jiao Shun, who was wearing an official robe, walked out of the second gate. The yamen runner immediately became shorter and bowed to retreat to the side.

Shuanzhu quickly set up the wooden ladder to board the car. When Jiao Shun got on the car, he picked up the ladder and trotted around in front.

Soon, two tall horses kicked and stepped out of the West Corner Gate of the Ministry of Works and ran along the long street towards Rongguo Mansion.

Nothing to say along the way.

When he got home, Jiao Shun first met his parents, and then went to the south house of the east wing to tease his daughter for a while. Then he asked Shuanzhu to pull the wooden box with a tricycle and go to the Grand View Garden for a banquet.

In the past, whenever he came to the Grand View Garden, he would have been alone, for those dirty thoughts that could not be described clearly.

But this time, in order to avoid a series of rear-end collisions at night, Jiao Shun broke his own rules - in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he specially brought a novel object from the yamen as a reason to cover up.

When I arrived at Ouxiangxie, Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu and his son had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that he had brought a large wooden box, and the wooden box had no decorations, it looked simple and unpretentious, and it didn't look like a gift.

The father and son couldn't help but look at each other.

"Brother Jiao."

Although Baoyu was reluctant, this did not affect his strong curiosity: "What is in it?"

Jiao Shun patted the box gently and said with a smile: "This is the latest novel object created by the Ministry of Works. Since it needs to be tested and tested again, it has not been sent to the palace yet. I simply brought it here and let it go first.

Uncle Shi and Brother Bao are holding hands."

Hearing that it was a novel object, Jia Baoyu became more and more interested and wanted to use it to avoid the topic of becoming an official in engineering. So he hurriedly called Jia Zheng's companion and wanted to remove the big wooden box.

"Be careful, there are a few fragile things inside."

Jiao Shun reminded him and followed Jia Zheng to Ouxiangxie first.

Soon, Jia Baoyu also led the person to carry the box in. Without waiting for Jiao Shun to ask for instructions, he pried open the box cover and looked in excitedly.

"What's this?"

Immediately, he took out a transparent glass ball from it with a strange look on his face, and carefully held it in his palm to show it to Jia Zheng.

I saw that the glass ball seemed to be a thin layer, with only a few black metal wires inside, and one end of the glass ball was inlaid with a metal cap - but what else could it be if it wasn't a light bulb?

The deadly thing in the box is a simple hand-cranked magnetic generator.

As a person who once lived in the electrical era, Jiao Shun, while improving firearms and trial-made trains, naturally did not forget the most important cornerstone of the Second Industrial Revolution.

But Jiao knew the reason but didn't know why, so he took many detours and finally created a hand-crank generator.

As for the light bulbs, it is much simpler. Taizu of this dynasty started by burning glass, brewing perfume, and improving soap. Therefore, the process of making glass in Daxia is naturally not bad. The crystal ball that Jiao Shun gave to Wang Xifeng was burned.

By-product of light bulbs.

In fact, this generator has been a final model, and the tests that should be done have been completed. However, due to the ancient people's awe of lightning and lightning, they were worried that this thing would be dangerous, so the inside of the department kept suppressing it.

Jiao Shun brought it this time, which also means to pass it into the palace through Jia Baoyu's mouth.

Seeing Jia Baoyu asking with the light bulb, Jiao smiled and signaled the pill to move forward, pressed the light bulb on the generator, and then shook the machine hard. The light bulb first flickered and darker, and then gradually accelerated as the pill column continued to accelerate.

It emits a dazzling light steadily.

Jia Zheng was stunned when he saw it, and Jia Baoyu and his few followers shouted loudly.

When Jia Zheng reacted, he thought they were fussing and lost their face. After bombing the followers out of Ouxiangxie, the rumors about generators and electric lights, as well as Jiao Shun's visit to the Grand View Garden for a banquet, naturally

spread like wildfire.

Mrs. Wang was waiting for the news. When she heard that Jiao Shun had indeed come, she was excited and nervous, and couldn't help but squeeze the chimera into sweat.

When Wang Xifeng got the news, she immediately found Daoxiang Village and asked Li Wan a smile if she wanted to imitate her. If she was interested, she would stay in Daoxiang Village to protect Li Wan.

Before, Wang Xifeng had some doubts about changing from a single chicken to a double row. So she wanted to encourage Li Wan to come forward and then secretly find out who it was that night. If the other side had the same intention, then it would only be Li.

white silk.

But Li Wan had known what she had met when she went back. When she heard this, she immediately shook her head and smiled: "You have always been used to eating alone. Today, I am suddenly so generous. Maybe I have some bad thoughts. I am not fooled by you!"

Seeing that she refused to submit, Wang Xifeng also extinguished her thoughts and turned to Jiao Shun's outside house.

"I heard that my enemy often spends the night outside, and it must be another romantic and happy place. You are the closest to him. I guess you knew where he set up a house?"

Li Wan asked back: "What are you doing?"

"Of course I'm comparing to get one."

Wang Xifeng waved his hand in a pretentious manner and said, "He will move out in a while. Are you willing to stop contacting me? We just wanted to make a house, just think that it was just raising the rabbit man outside!"

Li Wan chuckled and covered her mouth and said, "Don't show her timidity. If a man raises a man, he is called Rabbit."

Immediately, I asked again: "Even if I have a house, it's not easy for us women to go out often, right?"

"Look for a reason!"

Wang Xifeng had already thought about it and immediately said: "It's not easy to find a reason, whether it's burning incense and worshiping Buddha or something. At that time, just buy the house near the temple."

After hearing what Wang Xifeng said, Li Wan immediately thought of Jiao Shun’s recent arrangements and thought to herself that this enemy bought the nunnery for Miaoyu. Could it be that he had already made plans?

Seeing that Li Wan seemed to be a little moved, Wang Xifeng secretly planned how to falsely report the accounts so that Li Wan could pay the full amount of the purchase fee for buying a house.

On the other side.

When Jia Tanchun heard that Jiao Shun came to the garden for drinking again, he immediately thought of the shameful scene of the double row that day, so he made up his mind not to repeat the same mistake.

only……

Thinking of what Aunt Zhao said yesterday, I couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Last time, I was disrupted by my second sister-in-law and failed to do the work of being a member of the calamity. If someone took advantage of the situation at this time...

Thinking of this, she calculated by her fingers that she didn't have to worry about her second sister-in-law who had a family and a family. Her eldest sister-in-law had been widowed for many years and saw that Lan Ge'er was about to grow up, so she had no reason to remarry at this time.

The second sister is already a master.

The fourth sister is still young, and secondly, she is fascinated by the principles and Zen techniques, so it is unlikely that she will do such a thing.

Xiangyun...

She was the wife Jiao Shun wanted to marry a formal matchmaker, and no matter how she would not affect her plan of being a member of the society.

The Xue sisters have moved out, so there is no need to consider it.

After thinking about it, Lin Daiyu was not sure.

According to Sister Lin's arrogant temperament, she may not agree to be a clerk.

But things in the world are unpredictable. How could I treat Brother Jiao as a good match at the beginning? Now I am still determined to marry into the Jiao family?

Especially Xing Xiuyan is like her sisters, and now she is unfamiliar with Bao Er Ge, so she can't help but...

The more you think about it, the more you feel uneasy.

In the end, she couldn't help but leave Qiushuangzhai alone. She took advantage of the night to touch the Ou Xiangxie, thinking that if she had the chance, she would ask Jiao Shun to completely finalize the matter of the joint venture, so as not to feel uneasy.

As a result, as soon as I arrived near Ouxiangxie, I saw two familiar figures wandering near the only way to enter and exit Ouxiangxie.

Second sister?

And embroidered oranges?

What are they doing at this time?

When analyzing the rival just now, Jia Tanchun felt that the second sister already had a master and could not pose a threat to her anymore. However, suddenly she ran into Yingchun here, which made her suddenly remember the rumors about the second sister and Jiao Shun.

.

No!

It's not just a rumor, it seems that for a while Siqi often goes to his second sister's house.

At that time, I didn't pay much attention to Brother Jing, so I just thought that they had a deep affection for their master and servant. But now after thinking about it carefully, there was an unusual smell here.

You should know that the old lady publicly questioned and opposed this marriage, so it is logical that Siqi should be a little taboo - even if she doesn't know how to avoid it, the eldest wife and second sister-in-law should also give it a point in time.

But at that time, both of them seemed to be blind and let Siqi communicate...

Perhaps it was not a rumor at that time, but it was true, and it even received the tacit approval of the elders!

But even so, now that time has passed, the second sister has hired someone else, but why did she do what she is doing today?

wrong!

Isn’t my second sister-in-law also a family?

Not yet...

While Tanchun was suspicious, Yingchun and Xiuju were also whispering.

"I wish I had thought so earlier."

Xiu Ju looked at Yingchun helplessly with a bitter face and said, "But now...ah, how easy is it to break off the engagement? Miss Qin is also because the Mei family takes the initiative... But the Sun family has done a lot of work for this marriage.

How could you give up easily after you have the capital?"

Looking at the water-covered Ou Xiangxie, surrounded by water, said calmly: "It's up to people - you used to complain that I didn't dare to fight for anything, but now I really plan to fight for it, why do you regret it again?"

"I don't regret it, just, just..."

Xiu Ju pinched the veil and said nothing. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She used to advise the lady to think more about herself and not always be timid, but when her lady acted vigorously, she was at a loss again.

The main reason is that my ladies are becoming too fast and too intense.

How many days have passed?

First, he openly resisted the order of the master, but now he secretly came to find Mr. Jiao to find out how to break the engagement.

If this is known, what should I do?!

"Who, who is where?!"

Just now, a delicate scold came from afar...
