Chapter 652 A small banquet in the third grade of junior high school [Second grade two]

[Why do I get scolded every time I foreshadow the plot? Among the long-running Red Mansion fanfics that started with two to three million words, my career line plot should be the least—it’s crazy, I’ll start with four thousand+ today]

The banquet in the Juhong Building lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon. Even though Jiao was just touching lips most of the time, he was still a little tipsy on the way home.

So he randomly stuffed the pillow into the corner, half-reclined, half-lyed, and slumped down. He closed his eyes and began to review today's gains and losses.

He is not so naive as to think that by winning over the future little emperor, he will be able to sit back and relax completely, so recently he has been trying to find ways to expand and consolidate his base in order to cope with the possible murderous situation after the emperor's death.

This time he successfully penetrated the General Affairs Department through the telegraph machine, which was the result of his secret planning for many days.

Of course, this is still just the beginning. To what extent it can be achieved depends not only on his own planning, but also on whether the work-study students can be put to great use - after all, it is unlikely that he will personally interfere in the internal affairs of the General Affairs Department.

.

That's why today's private banquet was held.

The first half was fine, but Li Qing's self-intentioned kneeling in the middle was a bit superfluous and taboo. I'm afraid that in the next few days, the accusations of impeaching him will fly to the imperial court like snowflakes.

But it doesn't matter.

At this stage, unless the emperor wants to end the government, he will never give up on himself, the only backbone of the New Deal, because of these crazy and rebellious actions.

Furthermore, he had personally given the even more outrageous information to the emperor a long time ago. As the saying goes, if there are too many lice, don't bite them, if there are too many debts, don't worry about them, just let it go.

Feeling tired, Jiao Shun fell asleep without realizing it.

When he woke up again, the carriage had already returned home.

He climbed the steps and got out of the car. While stretching, he subconsciously looked at the stables not far away. He saw a few carriages that obviously did not belong to Jiao Mansion, parked quietly in the yard, and a dozen horses of different colors.

He was munching grass leisurely.

Obviously, the sisters' banquet convened by Shi Xiangyun has not ended yet.

Thinking of the few golden hairpins gathered at home, Jiao Shun felt restless for a moment, but he soon suppressed it. No matter how unscrupulous he was, he would not act rashly in front of everyone.

at the same time.

In the flower hall in the backyard of Jiao Mansion, the girls were all blushing and dazzled by the peach blossoms, but You Zi refused to give up.

But Xiangyun stood up unsteadily, rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, and rolled them up again, peeling off only half of his white arm like a lotus root, stretched it out to Xue Baochai across the Yingchun, and rolled it up

He said with a vague tongue: "Sister Bao, come on, it's our turn!"

Baochai actually didn't drink much, but there is a saying that people will get drunk without being drunk. At this time, her almond-shaped eyes were also covered with mist. Seeing Shi Xiangyun's invitation to fight, she tried to get up, but fell heavily back to the chair.

For a moment, he ignored the cups and plates in front of him, folded his arms and leaned down on the table, saying in a muffled voice: "It can't be done, it can't be done, I really can't drink any more."

Seeing that she bumped into the wine glass, Yingchun and Tanchun reached out to help her. They looked into each other's eyes and froze in mid-air. Yingchun immediately retracted her hand.

Tanchun lifted the wine glass and wiped the wine off the table with a handkerchief, secretly he was becoming suspicious.

He said in his heart that he deliberately stayed awake because he was looking forward to meeting Brother Jiao, personally thanking him for his help, and trying to eliminate the negative impact of the previous letter.

But the second sister still has clear eyes and ears even now, but why?

You know, even Xichun, who has always been the most unsociable person, was already six or seven points drunk at this time because his mind was touched by talking about trivial matters from his childhood.

Could it be that she is still focused on Brother Jiao...

But he had already helped her to drain the fire, and she kept a high standard of filial piety. It would take at least two years and seven months before she could get married. No matter how much she thought, she could not threaten herself.

While Tanchun was thinking about it and still couldn't figure out Yingchun's thoughts, Shi Xiangyun was half-lying on Yingchun's shoulder. Regardless of the swelling in his chest, he stretched out his arms and pushed Xue Baochai and said, "Sister Bao, no.

Don’t be ridiculous. If you really can’t eat or drink, just recite a poem..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Daiyu added: "It needs to be new poetry and new words. If it is not good, you will still be punished!"

Xue Baochai was so dizzy from being shaken that she had no choice but to stand up again, holding the table with one hand and holding a pink fist with the other to face Xiangyun.

The two of them yelled "three" and "five" and punched several times. Xiangyun suddenly shouted happily: "Sister has lost, sister has lost, have a drink quickly, have a drink quickly!"

As he said that, he grabbed the wine glass from Yingchun and drank it.

Xue Baochai raised his hand and pushed it away, saying angrily: "Didn't you just say that you can write poems?"

Yingchun took the opportunity to push Shi Xiangyun back to her seat, and also helped her straighten her clothes, covering up what she shouldn't reveal and didn't dare to write.

How could Shi Xiangyun be willing to stop here?

At that moment, he grabbed the ivory in his hand, knocked the wine glass without any rules and shouted: "Do it quickly, do it quickly, if you don't do it well, you will be fined three, three, three times!"

She was speechless for a moment, but Lin Daiyu, who was opposite her, immediately concluded: "That's nine cups!"

Daiyu was obviously drunk, otherwise she would not have targeted Baochai so obviously.

Xue Baochai first took three delicacies and roasted deer tail with chopsticks, barely suppressed the turbulence in his stomach, then rubbed his temples and said distressedly: "My head is full of mush right now, how can I compose a poem?"

"Then I'll drink wine as a penalty!"

"Yes, yes, fine wine, fine wine!"

Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu clapped their hands and screamed. Tanchun, Baoqin, and Xichun also made noises. Yingchun, who was only sandwiched between Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai, and Xing Xiuyan, who was accompanying the last person, did not join them.

Xue Baochai sighed, helped Tan Chun next to him to get up and said: "I only remembered the song "Linjiang Immortal" in a hurry, but it was a little out of season."

"Let's talk and listen first!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you don't do well, I will drink ten drinks as a penalty!"

The two leaders quarreled for a few more times, until Xue Baochai started to chant, and then they became quiet.

I saw Baochai walking around the table, passing her bare hands over the shoulders of the sisters one by one, and said in her mouth: "The spring dance in front of the Baiyu Hall, the east wind blows evenly. The bees and butterflies are in chaos. How can I have to let go of the water once?"

Fragrance dust, thousands of threads will never change, let it gather and divide as it pleases. Shaohua has no roots at all, and the good wind will send me to the blue clouds with its power!"

"Okay, okay, okay! Sister is chanting Xu, right?!"

As expected, Shi Xiangyun was the first to jump up and cheer.

Lin Daiyu's wonderful eyes were wandering, but she covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister Bao's poems are good, these steps are even better - you see her upside down and swaying left and right, maybe she has realized the true meaning of the Eight Immortals in the Drink

!”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Xue Baochai laughed a few times, but fell down on the spot. Xing Xiuyan, who was at the side, hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, and almost fell down.

Everyone laughed even more happily. Baoqin and Tanchun all came to help. Shi Xiangyun laughed while holding his stomach and wanted to go around to help, but he stumbled on a chair in the first step and threw himself directly into Yingchun's arms.

Amidst the laughter and laughter, Ping'er quietly lifted the curtain and walked in from the outside. Seeing the chaos, he helped Xue Baochai to the Arhat bed, then came back and reported to Xiangyun: "Madam, the master is back.

"

"Um?"

Shi Xiangyun raised his head from Yingchun's arms. He was stunned for a while before he understood what he meant. So while struggling, he said to everyone: "You continue to drink, I, I will go, I will go..."

Her long legs flopped on the ground, but other than kicking her chair further and further away, it had no other effect.

"My wife is drunk."

At this time, Xing Xiuyan stood up, walked around to Shi Xiangyun's side, and said, "I'm here to keep an eye on you. Sister, please go and greet me first."

"Then I'll lend Siqi a hand - if the master is also drunk, I won't be able to help him easily."

As Ping'er said this, he led Siqi, the two silver butterflies and embroidered oranges in her room, and hurried to the second door.

When he saw that Jiao Shun's face was slightly red but his steps were steady, Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to greet him. He briefly described the situation in the flower hall and explained in a low voice: "Today's wine is...

It’s specially set up for the three girls in that mansion. If they don’t say they want to leave, I’m afraid they’ll still have some wine to drink.”

Jiao nodded understandingly.

If it was an ordinary small banquet, even if Sanchun didn't mention it, Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin could take the initiative to suggest that they break up. However, Shi Xiangyun's banquet this time was actually to comfort Sanchun, so they didn't say they were leaving, and others could only stay with them until the end.

but……

I'm afraid that what caused this situation may not be that Miharu didn't want to go back, but someone did it deliberately.

While walking back, Jiao Shun hesitated whether to see Tanchun or not.

To be honest, ever since he found out that she had killed Jia She, Jiao Shun felt a little anxious in his heart, fearing that a bad ship would come.

Although Tanchun said that he did not have this ambition, it was probably true, but...

Hesitating like this, he walked all the way to the backyard. Jiao Shun raised his eyes to look in the direction of the flower hall, and finally chose to avoid it.

Anyway, according to the etiquette of the times, he should have been invited in.

If Tan Chunzhen is able to overcome all opinions and allow himself to come forward to see her, it will not be too late for him to follow the trend.

With these thoughts in mind, Jiao went straight back to the main room's bedroom.

After drinking half a bowl of hangover soup under Ping'er's service, he just lay down and wanted to squint for a while, when the door curtain opened and Qingwen hurried in.

Seeing Jiao Shun lying on the bed, she didn't say anything, but whispered something to Ping'er. Ping'er hurriedly came to the bed and called: "Master, Master."

"You're awake, let's talk."

"Mrs. Xue's family is here, look..."

Jiao Shun immediately jumped up and thought to himself that Aunt Xue came to the door at this time. Could there be another accident?

He quickly walked out of the main room, and before he could walk to the courtyard door, he saw the bamboo curtain of the flower hall was lifted, Shi Xiangyun took the lead, and the girls were pulling each other, cuddling and hugging each other, one by one, like a conjoined twin.

Come out of it.

They met each other twice, and Xing Xiuyan hurriedly pulled Shi Xiangyun to greet him. The girls behind him also called "Brother Jiao" in unison.

If a group of drunken men were staggering around in groups, it would definitely be an evil sight, but what we saw in front of us was worthy of the word "splendid view".

Whether it is Xue Baochai, who is usually graceful and elegant, or Lin Daiyu, who has a cold and aloof face, her face is full of peach blossoms and her clothes are somewhat messy. Although she is drunk, her charm is fully displayed.

As for Sanchun, the color may be a little inferior, but because they are both in filial piety, the plain clothes and the contrasting expressions and postures are even more fascinating.

After all, it was in public, so Jiao Shun didn't want to look too much. He only gouged out his eyes twice and asked with a smile: "Are you going to welcome Aunt Xue?"

Everyone looked at Shi Xiangyun, only to see that she had closed her eyes and was leaning on Xing Xiuyan's shoulder. Thanks to the help of Cui Lun and Xiang Ling, Xing Xiuyan was not brought down by her.

When Tanchun saw this, he went out to the crowd without hesitation and said, "We didn't even welcome Brother Jiao when he came back, so we just talked about it. Now that my aunt is here, how can we support him?"

In order to eliminate the negative influence, she deliberately acted in a charming manner, and with the addition of being drunk, the straightforward person was out of her mind.

However, Jiao Shun's attention was focused more on Chai Dai and Bao Qin.

Without it, it’s just that you like the new and hate the old.

Seeing that in addition to Shi Xiangyun, Xue Baochai was also drunk, Jiao Shun couldn't help but secretly wonder, Xue Baochai has always been a wealthy person, and he has never heard of her losing her composure, but what happened today...

At the same time, he said with a smile: "Aunt Xue's family has never cared about these details. You just choose two sober people to be your representatives - if this happens accidentally on the road, won't it make Aunt Xue's family worried?"

With that said, he took the initiative and sent Shi Xiangyun to the main room.

After a lot of pulling and pulling, Yingchun, Tanchun and Baoqin finally followed Jiao Shun.

As for Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu, they were sent back to the flower hall to rest.

Xichun was probably tired of socializing, so she took the initiative to stay and said she would take care of the two of them.

There were only a few useless polite words on the way, and when I got out of the second door, I saw Mrs. Xu talking to Aunt Xue from a distance.

Because of her affair with Jiao Shun, Aunt Xue was once embarrassed to face this old sister. However, she gradually got used to it after she did so much to cater to her son at night and entertain her mother during the day.

Of course, seeing the mother and son at the same time, she still unconsciously showed a hint of shyness on her face.

Jiao Shun was about to step forward to greet him when he didn't expect Yingchun, who was hanging behind him, to suddenly overtake him quickly. I don't know if it was because of the small space in front of the door, but when they passed by, their arms bumped into each other.

Tanchun and Baoqin saw this and hurriedly followed.

This time, Jiao Shun fell behind.

He was not in a hurry. He looked at the three people chatting with the two elders with a smile on his face. He quietly opened his palm in front of his eyes and saw a note in his palm. On the note, he wrote a few words concisely and concisely.

Big words: Tanchun kill my father!

Jiao Shun: "..."

With Jiao's skill, he could hardly hold back the expression on his face.

What the hell?!

He originally thought that the red sleeves were passing a message to someone, but who would have thought that the second young lady was here to expose and report him!

What a pair of good sisters!

But this is Tanchun too, just kill him, why did you let Yingchun know about it?

Although the father and daughter are incompatible with each other, they are biological children after all. Who can guarantee that she will not avenge her father? No, there is no need to doubt it anymore, hasn't it already happened?!

Jiao Shun was in a trance and didn't notice when the girls ended their conversation. It wasn't until Aunt Xue passed by and said hello deliberately keeping a distance that he regained consciousness.

He was a moment slower than everyone else, and was about to follow him back to the backyard. He didn't expect that as soon as he entered the second door, he saw Tan Chun staying at the same place. He wrote to the waiter without hesitation: "You go further, I have something to say to Brother Jiao."

explain."

The waiter blushed and glanced at Jiao Shun, then he hurriedly picked up the hem of his skirt and ran away.

Jiao Shun clenched the note in his hand. He did not reveal the matter directly, but asked quietly: "What happened to your uncle's death?"

Tanchun was about to explain the matter, so he hurriedly told everything that happened that day, and emphasized that he was doing it for the safety of Rongguo Mansion, and especially to save the life of his second sister.

After hearing this, Jiao Shun's expression became even weirder.

He just thought that Yingchun wanted to avenge his father, but according to Tanchun's words, Yingchun was probably the one who wanted to kill his father the most!

But if that's the case, why would she want to repay kindness with hatred?

Could it be that he thought that as long as Tanchun was dismissed, he would settle for the next best thing and choose her as a part-time partner?

Hiss~

Thinking of this possibility, Jiao Shun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Everyone said that the third girl was ruthless, but who knew that the second girl was the one who was the most evil!

Tanchun then confessed again, saying repeatedly that he had no choice but to ask Lin Daiyu to send the message. If he married into the Jiao family, he would naturally put the interests of the couple first.

But Jiao Shun was so upset that he still had the time to listen carefully.
