Chapter 644
Super Super Super Super Excess
The Ningguo Mansion noticed something strange. The Rongguo Mansion, which had tightened its strings from top to bottom, naturally quickly noticed the changes in its surroundings - the originally menacing patrols seemed to have learned how to do it in just one noon.
What does it mean to be polite and considerate?
Then, there was careful testing.
When the news of Concubine Xiande's comeback spread, the mansion, which was still besieged by the City Patrol Division, immediately turned into a sea of celebration.
Everyone thought that the end of the lockdown was imminent, and even celebratory firecrackers were prepared in advance.
However, one day passed, and two days passed...
The fifth day, the sixth day...
Until the end of the month, although the supervision of the City Patrol Department was reduced again and again, and the access control was almost useless, there was still no order to seal it.
So gradually, Rongguofu, which was once immersed in optimism, fell into countless rumors again.
…………
Before Lin Daiyu could observe her carefully, Cuixi had already stepped in and said in a loud voice: "Master and Madam, Miss Lin is here."
Seeing this, Xing Xiuyan first covered her mouth and laughed, but not long after, she shook her head and sighed.
This was the first time Lin Daiyu saw her in such a panic, and she became increasingly confused.
Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan had just finished having dinner in the guest house when they saw Cuixi coming in from the outside with the curtain drawn up. She bowed to Xing Xiuyan first, then turned to Daiyu with a smile: "Miss Lin, our master and wife would like to ask you to come over."
She thought about it over and over but couldn't figure it out, so she finally had to call Ou Guan, who was still in shock, and asked in a deep voice with a pretty face.
Xing Xiuyan did not comment, but winked and motioned for her to go inside to talk.
That is...
"Is it the person next to me?"
Lin Daiyu who listened directly sighed secretly. Being able to understand the emperor's thoughts so thoroughly, it is no wonder that Brother Jiao has achieved what he is today.
That Ou Guan was sincere. As soon as Daiyu raised her head, she knelt down on the ground with a thud. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and said, "I am the one who forced me to take the initiative. It has nothing to do with Rui Guan! Please be kind and spare her life."
life!"
After all, she is a woman who has not yet left the court. Although she and Mr. Jiao are barely related, they are far from the point where they do not need to be avoided.
At first, Lin Daiyu thought that Sister Xing had found out some secret activities at home and did not dare to report Jiao Shun and Shi Xiangyun, so she came to her specifically to discuss countermeasures.
But then I thought again, although Sister Xing and Brother Jiao are not husband and wife, they are a married couple who have brought the case together. What kind of secret activities need to be hidden from him?
As the news of Jia Yuanchun's assistance to the government spread, another wave of impeachment was launched in the court, 70% of which were for the harem not to be involved in politics, and the remaining 30% were to denounce Jiao Shun for favoritism and beguiling the king.
But now, this wish has been fulfilled beyond the limit. If he were to compare only on this, he would definitely say, "I am happy here and don't miss Shu."
"Engineering graduation ceremony?"
While helping Xue Yan clear away the dishes, Xing Xiuyan shook his head and said, "Fuck you, I have to go on a patrol today. It's not peaceful lately, so I don't dare to relax."
Xing Xiuyan interrupted her words and said hesitantly: "It's Ou Guan and Rui Guan who were sent here before. They, the two of them... Oh~ you can ask her yourself later!"
"The people from the city patrol department haven't evacuated yet, but the gate control is ineffective."
Lin Daiyu said in surprise: "They shouldn't be so short-sighted, right? What's more, they have just arrived in this house not long ago, how can they have the courage..."
Ou Guan kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "Young lady also knows that I sang in the niche earlier, and Rui Guan and the lead Yao Guan specialized in Xiao Dan. We were husband and wife in the play, and we got along day and night outside the play, and in our sleep
I can’t live without it in my dreams!”
Lin Daiyu was also an insider. Thinking that this was all caused by her passing a message for her third sister, she felt a little guilty in her heart. She pulled Xing Xiuyan and said "Thank you" several times.
Jiao Shun hurriedly put down his pen and stood up to return the gift. Shi Xiangyun jumped up, stepped forward with his shoes, grabbed Daiyu's sleeve and said, "Come here, I want to show you something rare!"
But soon she felt relieved again.
Shi Xiangyun sighed and couldn't help but think: "I don't know when we women will be able to study and become officials like men."
Lin Daiyu nodded and stood up subconsciously, but then she frowned and reaffirmed: "Your master is here too?"
After saying that, he pulled Lin Daiyu and sat down on top of him, and said with a smile: "Our home is small after all, and it is not as beautiful as the Grand View Garden. My sister must be a little depressed these days. It just so happened that the master just suggested that he would take me to graduate engineering school."
I wanted to see the world at the ceremony, so I thought why not let my sister go and relax too?"
"Cough~"
Lin Daiyu was not surprised by these remarks. After all, since she was a child, Jia Baoyu often told her that women are more valuable than men. However, the women in Jia Baoyu's mouth usually refer to young and beautiful young girls, and besides being cynical,
In addition, he has never thought about how to improve the status of women.
Lin Daiyu was curiously looking at the iron box on the table. She couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this: "Is this something we women can go to?"
Daiyu also hurriedly averted her eyes, walked in politely and called out "Brother Jiao".
It was originally his initiative to use this matter to check and balance Jia Yuanchun, but now that he analyzes it, it makes perfect sense.
As he said that, he left Lin Daiyu behind and ran away like a plague god.
There is a saying that the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Seeing Cuixi's appearance, Lin Daiyu subconsciously thought of Jianxi.
Only then did Lin Daiyu understand why Xing Xiuyan behaved like that just now, but it turned out that he had encountered such a ridiculous thing as a fake phoenix!
If it was a trivial matter, how could Sister Xing avoid it like a snake and a scorpion?
Then he hurriedly ran away through the door.
But she didn't have many opportunities to contact Jiao Shun.
To even spare one's life is obviously no small matter, so why does Sister Xing...
Just like this, another wave of friendship was restored, and Jiao Shun finally asked Shi Xiangyun to send Lin Daiyu out.
Not to mention that Sister Xing secretly mentioned this matter, Brother Jiao probably didn't know about it. Even if he knew about it, based on the third sister's desperate attitude, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this lady has sealed the deal.
If it was a big matter, how could Sister Xing leave it to her to handle?
"Stop talking!"
"It's just that our masters have something to discuss."
Jiao Shun said with great certainty, but in fact he didn't look forward to that day coming at all. Even in later generations, his ideal partner would be the kind of traditional woman who would live with her husband and her wife - and of course, her looks should not be bad.
"Just change into men's clothes and don't be so eye-catching."
So he smiled to himself and said to Xing Xiuyan beside him: "Sister, are you going back with me, or..."
Lin Daiyu followed inexplicably, but heard Xing Xiuyan whisper: "Guess who I got when I was patrolling around just now?"
But this was only a public condemnation in the court, and a full 99% of them came to the Jiao family to protest privately - they had no choice, after all, Concubine Xiande lived in the palace, and they were really beyond their reach, so naturally they had to settle for the next best thing.
When she returned to the living room, Lin Daiyu was surprised to find that Xing Xiuyan was still in the house. She hurried forward and said happily: "Why, sister wants to stay here?"
During this time, she had completely adapted to life in the Jiao family. Not only did she get along well with Shi Xiangyun and other old acquaintances, but even Mrs. Xu often invited her over to chat with her about daily life.
This evening.
After chatting about the topic of women's liberation for a while, and deciding that women would disguise themselves as men to participate in the engineering graduation ceremony on June 1st, Lin Daiyu habitually inquired about the current situation in Rongguo Mansion.
"It's not a robbery!"
Jiao Shun coughed dryly and reminded: "It's better to get down to business first."
Finally, her little face turned red, and she stamped her feet and yelled: "Sister is teasing me again!"
"So gradually, just..."
Therefore, I was a little surprised to hear that Jiao Shun was also present.
Jiao Shun sat down again, and while sketching on the paper with a brush, he said: "Besides, the Engineering School is not the Imperial College. There are not so many messy and stinky problems. If those Confucian scholars hadn't stopped me, I originally wanted to recruit a group of female students.
- Nowadays, there are no fewer women than men working as weavers in state-owned factories."
Cuixi said and winked at Lin Daiyu: "Don't worry, girl, it's a good thing!"
So these days, the Jiao Mansion is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, for fear that someone will come and set fire to commit murder again.
Lin Daiyu was confused in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face. She sneered and said, "It's not impossible for me to spare her. You have to admit the cause and effect carefully, so that I can explain it to her in front of Sister Xing!"
"There will definitely come a day."
Only then did Jiao Shun put down the pen and paper in his hand, raised his head and analyzed seriously: "I'm thinking, maybe the emperor is waiting for Wang Taiwei's case to be cleared up before making any calculations, or maybe he just wants to
I will use this matter as a means to check and balance the empress, after all..."
Xing Xiuyan handed the bowl and chopsticks to Chunxian, turned around and whispered in Daiyu's ear: "My sister's words are more like what our wife said."
Only then did Lin Daiyu realize that something was wrong and wanted to explain, but how could she dare to tell the truth about Jia She's death?
But when Lin Daiyu arrived in front of the main hall of the central courtyard, she saw Jiao Shun and Shi Xiangyun sitting opposite each other on the Arhat bed. Shi Xiangyun was playing with a strange-looking small box, while Jiao Shun frowned and wrote at his desk, tilting his head from time to time to listen to something.
Shi Xiangyun rolled his eyes, clapped his hands and said, "That's right, let's leave it as a surprise for my sister."
The whole journey was silent.
She walked back and forth for a few steps, watching Ou Guan hesitate to speak, and wanted to know what the situation was like when she was caught, and whether she could have used some excuse to get away with it.
But then I thought again, if I could get through the situation in a blur, considering the relationship between Sister Xing and myself, I would have smoothed it over for them on the spot, so how could I not explain it clearly?
I guess I broke some ugly scandal, so...
When she thought of this, she subconsciously took half a step back and waved her hands in a panic: "You, you go down first, let me think about it before talking."
When the lotus officer wiped away his tears and left, she hurriedly called for the Zicuckoo and Snow Goose. She didn't say the reason, but asked them to rearrange their duties and not let the lotus root officer serve her personally for the time being.
