‘The target of public criticism’

Author: The Peak of the World

the other side.

Jia Tanchun accompanied Xu and Shi Xiangyun carefully, and led Xu and Shi Xiangyun to Wang Xifeng's courtyard. Because the doctor told Jia Mu's condition that she needed to rest, only Xing and Li Wan were left to wait on them. All the troops were there.

Rest nearby here.

When she entered, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were sitting across the table, looking at each other in silence.

Mrs. Wang didn't know what to say, and Aunt Xue was holding back her words, but couldn't speak because of Jiao Shun's instructions.

The two elders didn't open their mouths, and the juniors on both sides, such as Wang Xifeng, Xue Baochai, Xichun, Youshi, Xu, etc., naturally kept silent in response to their own thoughts.

The awkward atmosphere in the room was almost visible to the naked eye.

It wasn't until Tanchun introduced Mrs. Xu and Xiangyun that everyone's nervousness suddenly calmed down. Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue stood up to greet each other almost at the same time. They caught each other's movements from the corner of their eyes and secretly felt a little embarrassed.

.

Therefore, Wang Xifeng took a step forward, stepped forward to hold Shi Xiangyun's arm, and said to Mrs. Xu on the side: "I knew that Girl Yun got the news, and she couldn't help but come over to visit her - but I have to be careful, aunt."

If you don't care about her, there are so many people in this house, so don't let her get in trouble."

"Didn't I grow up in this house?"

Shi Xiangyun replied, then looked at Mrs. Wang eagerly and said, "How is the old lady doing now?"

Mrs. Wang nodded to Mrs. Xu first, and then replied: "I'm still a little confused, and I recognize people with pride, but I ate half a bowl of porridge in the morning, and I feel much better."

After a pause, he added: "It just so happens that Feng girl has just arrived. You can go and have a look together later - but the doctor has told me not to sit for a long time, let alone make any noise."

After saying that, he subconsciously looked at Aunt Xue beside him.

"Let the children go first."

Aunt Xue said calmly: "I'm not in a hurry. It's the same thing if Baochai takes me there when the old lady is free."

Just as he was talking, Jia Zheng sent someone to send a message, and he made the same arrangement as Mrs. Wang, asking Shi Xiangyun and Wang Xifeng to visit together.

Although Shi Xiangyun was in a hurry to visit the doctor, he still called Xue Baochai to the corner before going out, took her hand and said: "Sister is smarter than me and must think more thoughtfully than me. I simply won't follow you. Sister has

If you need to use me, just tell me."

After a pause, he whispered again: "I will leave Qingwen and Xiangling with my sister. If my sister has anything to do, I will tell them to do it."

The first sentence sounds like a cliche, but the latter sentence shows the sincerity.

Who knows about the love-hate relationship between Qingwen and Baoyu? As a member of the Jiao family, there is no need to pay too much attention to the eyes of the Rongguo Mansion. If she is arranged to be a whiteface, she will definitely be more bitter, harsh and selfless than others.

And Xiangling is famous for her innocence. If she wants to mediate and moderate, it would be most appropriate for her to come forward and sing the praises. Originally, Ying'er alone was enough for these two tasks, but now she is involved in the old lady's affair.

During the incident, it was temporarily inconvenient for me to continue to come forward.

But because of this, Shi Xiangyun rarely has to bear the blame and blame.

Feeling Xiangyun's heart, Xue Baochai couldn't help but squeeze her hand tightly, but while being moved, her heart felt inexplicably sour. The two of them got married in the same year, but their circumstances were completely different.

Especially when the Xue Jiao family used to...

At this time, Wang Xifeng also walked out of it and greeted: "Girl Yun, let's go there earlier. Don't wait until the old lady gets tired and it's inconvenient to visit."

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly agreed, squeezed Baochai's catkins tightly, and then quickly followed Wang Xifeng out.

Mrs. Xu saw her inside and hurriedly pointed at her and shouted: "Hold her up, hold her up quickly! If my wife bumps into her, I don't care who it is!"

Seeing that she was so attached to Shi Xiangyun, Aunt Xue couldn't help but say something hidden in her words: "Look at this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they are better than their biological daughters!"

Mrs. Wang naturally understood what she meant. She immediately stretched out her hand to pull her sleeves and said with a wry smile: "Why do I want it to end like this? But when a young couple is quarreling, we as elders can't persuade them to break up or reconcile, right?"

"

"Then we should let Baoyu pay more compensation, instead of forcing Baochai to smash his teeth..."

"Mother!"

Before Aunt Xue could finish her sentence, Baochai had already returned to the house. She calmly interrupted their conversation and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to stay in this house for a few days? I just discussed it with my third sister."

After a while, the courtyard had been used for other purposes, but Hengwu Courtyard was still empty..."

"It's too remote there."

Aunt Xue remembered Jiao Shun's advice, and immediately waved her hand and said, "I won't be able to stay for a few days, so I'll just squeeze in with you."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang hesitated to speak, thinking that it would be difficult enough to get a treasure hairpin alone, but now that mother and daughter are together, wouldn't it be even more difficult to persuade the young couple to get back together?

But she had painted too many cakes before, and now she was in such a mess that it was really difficult to raise terms with Aunt Xue. After much hesitation, she suddenly asked Mrs. Xu on the side: "I just heard that Chang Qing is here too?

Doesn’t he need to go to the Yamen today?”

Mrs. Xu explained: "He was busy preparing for the construction of Zhan Shi Mansion a while ago and saved up several days of rest. Now that everything is ready and all he needs is east wind, it doesn't matter if he takes two more days off."

Mrs. Wang nodded, secretly thinking that if she wanted to break through Aunt Xue, she would have to fall on Jiao Changqing. In the current situation, he was the only one who had the ability to connect the dots.

But what reason should we find to let Jiao Shun stay in Rongguo Mansion?

Just as Mrs. Wang was racking her brains, thinking about how to keep Jiao Shun, Jia Baoyu in the front yard also had an idea for Jiao Shun.

Throughout the day and night, the more Xue Baochai treated him coldly and without pretense, the more annoyed he became, and he wanted to rebuild the old relationship with her - the reason was already there. The old lady became angry because of this, and she

If we don't reconcile with Sister Bao quickly, how can we go to see the old lady?

For this reason, I have used the trick I used on Sister Lin almost again in the early years. However, Sister Lin is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but Sister Bao is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. If the same trick is used, not to say that it is completely different, at least it will not show any difference at all.

Effect.

He was scratching his head and scratching his head anxiously, but suddenly he heard that Jiao Shun had come back again, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: Why don't he ask Brother Jiao for advice?

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang had been separated for several years, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were no less generous, not to mention Jia She and Mrs. Xing. With all their efforts, the people around him who could be said to respect each other like a married couple were Jiao Shun and Shi Xiangyun.

Brother Kuang Jiao not only took in two concubines and a group of maidservants, but he also openly stated that he wanted to marry his third sister as a part-time mother-in-law. However, he could still play the piano and harp at home. If he could learn a little bit about this method, he might not be able to deal with Sister Bao.

?

I don’t know if Sister Lin will come back in the future...

Uh~

Thinking of Lin Daiyu, his eager mood cooled unconsciously, but he did not give up the idea of ​​learning from Jiao Shun.

So he secretly went to the Rongxi Hall, thinking that as soon as Jiao Shun came out, he would take the opportunity to learn from his master.

However, in the Rongxi Hall, Jiao Shun was pulled by Jia Yucun to take a seat. He watched Jia Zheng on his left and right while he pushed cups and changed cups and chatted, but he ignored Sun Shaozu who was accompanying him at the last table.

But Sun Shaozu did not dare to show his dissatisfaction at all. To Jia Zheng, he could use his loyalty and submissiveness to the palace to suppress him, but against Jiao, who did not have the name of an auxiliary minister, but actually had the qualifications to be an auxiliary minister, this move

But it doesn’t work anymore.

He didn't even dare to use it.

After all, once Jiao Shun pushed him back, he would not only lose the face of King Zhongshun, but also make Jiao Shun unhappy.

So he simply took up the task of carrying the pot, thinking that he was just serving the wine party.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.

Jia Zheng, who had been thinking about his mother, became a little absent-minded, and Jia Yucun's pimping task had been completed - as for how the two parties decided, that was beyond his control - so he gave up and pulled Sun Shaozu up.

Say goodbye and leave.

Sun Shaozu was reluctant to leave, and before leaving, he even hinted at Jiao Shun in a roundabout way, saying that he would have a great gift for him in the near future.

In this regard, Jiao Shun could only say 'hehe'.

He has never been much interested in money, and excluding possessions, the biggest 'gift' Sun Shaozu can give has already been included in his bag, but what else is there to look forward to?

After sending these two off, Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiao Shun: "Yucun is a parent official, but he has close contacts with people like King Zhongshun. I'm afraid he will be in trouble in the future."

Jiao Shun smiled and said: "He may not have just bet on this one, there are many mothers-in-law in Shuntian Mansion."

Jia Zheng nodded slightly, and then asked about the affairs of Zhan Shifu in the East Palace. His words were full of envy, but less jealous and bitter.

At first, because Jiao Shun's official position had surpassed his own, he had some grudges and felt that the world was declining, and people's hearts were not as good as before.

But now he himself has to admit that he and Jiao Shun are no longer on the same level - not talking about the future, just the title of Donggong Shaozhanshi is an existence that is beyond his reach.

As a result, my mind was at peace. I ordered the banquet to be removed and took Jiao Shun to drink tea and talk about old things. I was filled with emotions for a while.

He was in a lively conversation here, but Jia Baoyu was waiting impatiently outside. Finally, when his father had drunk too much wine and tea, and went out for convenience, he didn't care much and barged in directly.

"Brother Bao?"

Seeing him hurrying in, Jiao Shun thought that Jia Mu was dead, so he stood up and asked, "But what's the news from the old lady?"

"Brother Jiao misunderstood."

Baoyu cautiously looked out and went straight to the topic: "I want to ask Brother Jiao for advice on how to make Sister Bao happy and resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible, so as to avoid making it difficult for the whole family to live in peace."

After hearing this, Jiao Shun first looked at Baoyu's hastily modified big hat and thought to himself: Is this a misunderstanding?

Immediately he fell into a dilemma again.

I have already started to do evil things to Baochai, so naturally I can't help Baoyu come up with ideas; but if I want to point him to a gangster path, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating and leave sequelae.

In this dilemma, you can't tell him: Sister Bao's heart muscle is too big and the city's belly is too deep. You can't control it, so you should let brother do it.

At the moment, he could only say perfunctorily with a grimace: "Xiangyun and I usually get along with each other from the heart. We have never done anything deliberately. You suddenly come to me for advice... Tsk~!"

He pretended to smack his mouth, and after a while he spread his hands: "Besides, I can't do anything like that to blatantly humiliate my wife."

"My little brother has realized his mistake."

Jia Baoyu also had a sad face and bowed his head repeatedly: "Now I really have no idea, so I hope Brother Jiao can give me a clear path. If I can do it, I will be rewarded generously!"

Got~

Here comes another official who made a wish.

But the problem is, what Jiao Shun wants is to prevent him from succeeding!

Just as he was thinking about how to spend the brown candy, he suddenly saw the attacker peeking outside. He saw that Baoyu was indeed inside, so he hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Second Master, why are you still here? My wife asked you to accompany my concubine.

Talking!"

"I, I..."

When Jia Baoyu heard about Aunt Xue, he felt that his head was as big as a bucket. He couldn't handle it even if he was a child, let alone a big one.

Seeing this, the attacker had no choice but to cross the threshold and enter the hall. He bowed to Jiao Shun first, and then persuaded: "It's not a problem for you to hide like this. It's nice to admit your mistake in front of my aunt. If my aunt ordered it,

Boss, wouldn’t it be easier with grandma?”

When Jia Baoyu thought about it, he hurriedly confessed to Jiao Shun and happily went to where the women were gathering.

The attacker took two steps from behind, but when he saw that he couldn't catch up, he simply stopped.

She was heartbroken by what Baoyu did yesterday, but looking at his dog-licking behavior this night, she couldn't help but have hope again. She only hoped that the young couple could get back together and that she could carry her aunt smoothly.

but……

Looking at the concubine's attitude of asking for help, I'm afraid it's not that easy to get her to nod first, and I'm afraid there's one less person to help make peace in the middle.

But since my concubine is so angry, it is definitely not possible for someone from the Rongguo Mansion to come forward. It would be best if someone is close to both parties and has enough prestige.

Thinking like this, Xiren also turned his attention to Jiao Shun in the hall.

I heard that my concubine has been very enthusiastic about the Jiao family recently, and she seems to regard the Jiao family as a backer to replace the Wang family. If Uncle Jiao is willing to come forward, the Xue family will have to give him some face.

Just relying on yourself as a maid, isn't it just wishful thinking to tempt Uncle Jiao?

You have to find a suitable matchmaker first...

Thinking of this, Xiren hurried to where the women were gathering, but her target was not Aunt Xue, but Jia Tanchun, who was in charge of internal affairs. Apart from the master and his wife, she now wanted peace and harmony at home most.

It is the third girl who is safe and sound.

However, she is a married woman who has never been married to the family before, so it is natural to ask her to come forward to be the matchmaker.

What Xiren didn't expect was that before she could meet the third girl when she arrived in the courtyard, she suddenly saw a familiar figure standing next to Xue Baochai.

At this time, the man also noticed the attacker's gaze, turned his head and met the attacker's eyes, his delicate face with the cool figure of Daiyu was full of ridicule and pleasure.

Qingwen?

Why did she run to the Second Grandma?!

The attacker was startled at first, and then a horrifying thought suddenly occurred to him: Oops, could it be that the second mistress was secretly building a plank road to Chen Cang, and deliberately brought back Qingwen's prodigal hoof to serve as Miss Lin's substitute?

That……
