Chapter 615 Parasitic Grass

Along the way, Jiao Shun had thought up countless perfunctory words in advance, but when he arrived on Rongning Street, the situation was far beyond his expectation.

Almost as soon as I turned the corner, I heard cheers coming from outside: "Uncle Jiao is here, Uncle Jiao is here!"

Then there was a continuous sound of firecrackers exploding.

Jiao Shun inexplicably opened the curtains to take a look, and saw a few familiar-looking young men running happily to the left and right sides of the carriage to lead the way. Further away, the thick smoke caused by dozens or hundreds of firecrackers almost

It has covered most of the street.

What kind of happy event happened in Rongguo Mansion?

Jiao Shun pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure it out for a while.

At this time, the carriage was led by the driver who was walking on foot and arrived at the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Jiao Shun was about to get out of the car and ask questions when he heard the boy leading the way shout: "Go to the front door, go to the front door, our master and his wife are waiting over there!"

Take the main entrance?

Are Jia Zheng and his wife waiting there?

Jiao Shun had some speculations this time. In this situation, if the main gate of Rongguo Mansion could be opened wide to welcome his happy event, I am afraid that only Concubine Yuan and Baoyu would be able to escape.

But when he left the palace earlier, Jia Yuanchun was still restrained in Yuyun Garden, and the emperor showed no intention of releasing him.

How come in a blink of an eye...

Just as he was puzzled, the carriage passed through the billowing smoke and slowly stopped outside the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion.

Seeing that Jia Zheng and his wife, Jia Zhen, and Jia Qiang were all waiting at the foot of the steps, Shuan Zhu did not dare to neglect and hurriedly trotted around to the back of the car and set up the steps for dismounting.

Jiao Shun quickly walked down the stairs, and the confusion on his face instantly turned into joy. Before Jia Zheng and others could come up to him, he raised his voice and asked: "Uncle Shi, but Brother Bao has been released?!"

"Brother Lian has been sent to pick him up!"

Jia Zheng's thin face was full of joy at being relieved. He quickly came up to greet you and bowed deeply, saying: "Thank you for your help. This is a great kindness that our Jia family will never forget!"

Sure enough.

Jiao Shun didn't wonder why they attributed the credit to himself. After all, as soon as he was sanctified in the palace, the emperor released Jia Baoyu and Yuan Fei. People outside didn't know what was going on, and they must have thought that he was responsible.

What is the key role?

Thinking like this, he said vaguely and modestly: "Uncle Shi said something serious. I just had the courage to say a few words in front of Your Majesty. Besides, His Majesty didn't promise anything at that time - maybe it was because His Majesty thought about it later.

It worked out, or maybe I listened to other people’s advice.”

He performed solo in the palace for about two-quarters of an hour. During this period, apart from the emperor, only Concubine Wu was present. Apart from these two people, who knows what he said at that time?

Besides, didn’t you acknowledge your own merit?

Seeing that Jiao Shun did not take credit, Jia Zheng felt even more grateful for his kindness. Thinking about how he had wanted to exclude him before, he felt ashamed and ashamed.

After all, Jiao Shun also felt guilty, so he took the initiative to change the subject and said: "I just came out of the palace and rushed to the house, but why did the news come earlier than me?"

Mrs. Wang had been staring at him with tears in her eyes since just now, her eyes were as hot as fire, as if she wanted to melt him.

Hearing Jiao Shun's question, she rushed to answer: "Of course, there are people rushing to do the icing on the cake. Otherwise, how could there be a saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed?"

Previously, Concubine Yuan and Baoyu were imprisoned, and Jia She, the most distinguished person in the title, died. The Rongguo Mansion seemed to be defeated, and the Forbidden City became an airtight copper wall. Jia Zheng spent a lot of money to appeal, but he could only find out what was going on.

Some news that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Now times have changed, and old friends and new acquaintances of the Jia family in the palace suddenly appeared like dogs urinating on moss. In a short period of time, several official servants rushed to report.

At this time, Jia Zhen laughed and said: "The ancestors are still waiting inside. I think we should invite Brother Shun in to talk first."

"Yeah!"

Jia Zheng slapped his forehead, stretched out his hand to grab Jiao Shun, moved his arm and said: "Chang Qing, don't leave in a hurry today, our uncle and nephew will not come back until they are drunk!"

“Count me in too!”

Jia Zhen also joined in the fun. This time, he was sincerely grateful to Jiao Shun. After all, if Rongguo Mansion collapsed, he, Ningguo Mansion, would not be left with anything good.

But in fact, Jiao Shun didn't want to sit with him at all, and even Jia Zheng had the same idea - although Duke Cun Zhou had already purified his six roots, who hasn't thought about regaining his glory?

Just like that, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was beaming with joy and invited Jiao Shun into the mansion. Then there was the sound of firecrackers like exploding beans outside the door - that is, because Jia Shexin died and it was hard to do anything big.

Otherwise, I'm afraid the banners would have been fluttering and the gongs and drums would have shaken the sky.

When they arrived at Rongxi Hall, the old lady had already led Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, You Shi, Lin Daiyu, Sanchun and others out of the house.

Because all of the younger generation, except You, had filial piety, their natural beauty became even more prominent.

However, Jiao Shun did not dare to look too much. After all, most of the people looking at him looked very different from Mrs. Wang just now.

At this time, the old lady gently broke away from Yuanyang's support, took half a step forward with crutches and said on her knees: "I thank you on behalf of your empress and Baoyu..."

"I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Jiao Shun hurriedly stepped forward to stop her from paying homage, and said in fear: "Didn't my ancestors shorten my life? Besides, now that I'm married to Xiangyun, our family shouldn't speak two different languages.

."

"Yes, yes, one family does not speak the same language."

Wang Xifeng came up and took over the old lady from his hand. She also scratched the heart of Jiao Shun's hand and said, "It's windy outside. We can wait until we get in to talk about anything."

This spicy phoenix!

Even a bold person like Mr. Jiao was startled by her little move and took half a step back without making any trace.

I saw that although Wang Xifeng was dressed in plain clothes, she was smiling like a flower. All the resentment she had accumulated seemed to be completely gone. She looked confident from the inside out, just like Jiao Shun did for the first time in the small hall a few years ago.

The great Master Guanyin who I saw came to earth again.

Since she has been hiding from Rongguo Mansion recently, Jiao Shun didn't know why she was acting like this.

Just as she was walking in with surprise, she suddenly heard Li Wan smiling and saying to Youshi from below: "They say that a real man cannot lose power for a day, but our second mistress is also the same. It has only been a few days, and it seems like it is like another day."

She seems ten years younger."

Is she back in power?

When Jiao Shun received this signal, he became more and more confused. Wasn't Mrs. Wang determined to give excessive power to Xue Baochai?

Even if the marriage doesn't happen for the time being, there's no need to bring Wang Xifeng back, right?

Could it be that something went wrong with Tanchun?

But looking at Jia Tanchun's bright and stern look, it seems that this is not the case.

When the guests and hosts were seated in the Rongxi Hall, Jia Muli first asked about Shi Xiangyun's current situation, and then blamed herself for not bothering to inquire about Baoyu and Yuanchun when Jiao Shun came to the house to worship last time.

"Ancestors shouldn't ask."

Wang Xifeng joked at the side: "Before Girl Yun got married, Brother Shun was always attentive to her. Now that the husband and wife are one, how can we not hold her in the highest regard?"

Everyone laughed.

At this time, another person outside the door suddenly said: "But how did I hear that Laiwang and his wife are interested in finding a family to inherit the incense?"

Everyone looked in shock and saw the eldest lady Xing walking in wearing mourning. Facing the eyes of everyone in the hall, she pretended to be panicked and said, "They are all watching what I do. I, I also heard about it by chance."

As Shi Xiangyun's aunt, Jia Mu naturally didn't like such remarks. When she was about to scold the eldest daughter-in-law, she hesitated and turned to look at Jiao Shun.

Jiao Shun never expected that Ms.

I was caught off guard for a moment and could only sneer and say: "This, this... my father and mother may have this idea, but I am devoted to Xiangyun and I will try my best to convince them."

This is not very convincing.

After all, these days people are very particular about the parents' orders for a matchmaker, and given Jiao Shun's current situation, it is completely reasonable for the family to want to marry and continue their family relationship.

The old lady frowned slightly, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly took the opportunity to change the topic, and soon the laughter and laughter returned in the hall.

At this time, Tanchun, who had been sweating, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Ms.

Lifelong events are on the agenda.

Although this was actually a bit against the rules, Tanchun was really worried that something might happen again, so he didn't care much about it.

Thinking that after laying the groundwork for this step, everything would fall into place later on. She couldn't help but feel happy when she suddenly noticed her second sister Yingchun beside her. She clenched her fists unconsciously, her beautiful eyes never leaving Jiao Shun's side.

Tan Chun suddenly felt something in his heart.

Could it be that the second sister wants to...

But then she thought about it, Jia She was Yingchun's biological father. According to the rules, she had to observe filial piety for at least twenty-seven months. There was a difference of two years between the inside and the outside. What could she use to compete with her brother Jiao?

At that moment, my heart felt relaxed again, but I didn't worry about safety and let down my vigilance. I just thought about exploring Yingchun's thoughts in the future.

At this moment, people came to report happily from outside, saying that Jia Lian had brought Baoyu back from Zhao Prison.

The old lady immediately stood up and went out to greet him.

Unable to persuade him, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang confessed to Jiao Shun and accompanied the old lady to the Neiyi Gate.

Before he could go forward, he saw Jia Lian striding towards him. He shouted from a distance: "Old ancestors, take a look and see who is back!"

Needless to say, everyone had already seen Jia Baoyu behind him.

"Baoyu, my Baoyu!"

The old lady cried out and walked quickly with a cane.

Baoyu on the opposite side stopped hesitantly and looked blankly at the grandmother who was running towards her, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog.

Until the old lady rushed up and hugged her, he didn't see any reaction.

Mrs. Wang wept and wiped her tears as she followed beside her. She didn't notice anything wrong for a while, but Jia Zheng saw something was wrong. He pulled Jia Lian and asked, "What's going on? Why are you looking at, looking at..."

Jia Lian raised his hand and gestured to his head, and whispered: "It seems that he was a little frightened in prison. I asked the doctor to take a look at him halfway, and he said it was fine. He will be fine for a while."

"Alas~"

Jia Zheng sighed, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, his son had been suffering from hysteria from time to time since he was a child. Now that he has been imprisoned in prison for more than a month, it would be strange if he didn't have any problems at all.

At this time, Jia Baoyu seemed to have finally sobered up. He hesitantly hugged the old lady with his backhand and said: "Old ancestor."

"Baoyu, my Baoyu!"

The old lady cried even harder and refused to let go no matter how Wang Xifeng and Li Wan tried to persuade her.

Finally, Jiao Shun came forward and said that Baoyu should be allowed to freshen up and change his clothes to get rid of bad luck. Then the old lady reluctantly let go of her grandson and let Mrs. Wang take over and take him back home.

But it was said that Mrs. Wang hugged her son and cried twice, and gradually realized that something was wrong.

Baoyu was usually full of emotions and would suddenly feel sad for no reason, but this time after he came back, he seemed much indifferent.

It's not that he doesn't have any emotional reactions at all, but he just seems very slow, as if he has a shell on his body. Whether he is receiving emotions from the outside world or reacting, he is several times slower.

Feeling distressed, she hugged her son into the very familiar arms of Mr. Jiao, and Mrs. Wang said sadly: "My son, what happened to you? But what did you suffer in prison? They, they tortured you?!"

When I said the last sentence, my voice couldn't stop trembling.

Facing her mother's question, Jia Baoyu took a while and shook her head in confusion: "No, I, I just... I don't know either."

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to get to the bottom of it, but seeing how distraught he looked she was really reluctant to press, so she had to clear up the trouble first and send him back to his residence.

While she was washing up, Mrs. Wang specifically called Xiren out of the door and told her to take good care of Baoyu during these days and make him smile more by the way - if that was not possible, she could cry.

"After waiting for half a day, I'll ask the monks and Taoists to come and take a look. It's best if it's not entangled with anything dirty. If it's entangled, I'll do a ritual to rectify it."

Xiren listened respectfully until Mrs. Wang finished speaking, then hesitantly suggested: "How about we invite Miaoyu back to have a look? I heard from the eldest grandma and the second grandma that she had a great enlightenment after being kicked out, and now she has a profound understanding of Buddhism."

I became more diligent and became the abbot of the temple."

"Is this happening?"

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, she didn't like Miaoyu as a person, otherwise she wouldn't have driven Miaoyu away at Youshi's instigation.

But for her right now, her son is the most important thing - even Jiao Shun has to worry about him, let alone some small personal likes and dislikes.

Then he nodded and said, "Let's wait until I ask Feng Yatou."

After a pause, he then ordered: "Don't spread this matter, and don't let him run around - if anyone asks, just say that Baoyu contracted cold in prison and needs to be cared for at home."

at the same time.

In the house, Baoyu was dressed neatly again, and the dazed look in his eyes seemed to have faded a little. He stared at the scene in the house, and walked around one by one, touching each one.

When he touched a small box, he suddenly stopped. After hesitating for a long time, he opened the lid and took out a note from the inside. He saw a song "Parasite Grass" written on it:

There is no self, not you, because he does not understand it. He can come and go without any hindrance. He is full of sadness and joy, and they all talk about how close they are. Why did he work so hard in the past? Now, it’s really boring to look back!
