Chapter 736(1/2)
Take away his bird position
Author: The Peak of the World
The news that Concubine Xian De was returning home to visit her relatives a year ago undoubtedly caused an uproar in the Rongguo Mansion, and even overshadowed the fact that the old lady was critically ill due to 'excessive joy'.
When Jia Yuanchun went back to visit his relatives for the first time, it was an unprecedented honor. Everyone from top to bottom felt honored. Not only the stakeholders like Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, but even the lowest servants mentioned it to the outside world.
They will raise their breasts unconsciously.
But this time when I come to visit my relatives again, the reputation of the house has changed completely. After all, last year, due to the deficit in building the relatives' house, we were in arrears with the monthly payment again and again. Everyone is still fresh in our minds.
Now, relying on the third girl to live within her means, she has finally returned to her former self. Who would have thought that the empress would come to visit her again...
Isn’t this just cutting leeks?!
So for two or three days in a row, everyone was talking and complaining.
That morning, after several servants had finished sweeping the newlyweds' courtyard, they couldn't help but come to the door of the courtyard and complain.
"Didn't you say that the emperor is sick and will not pay prom this year?"
"That's what the outside world said, but the palace has never given accurate information!"
"If you ask me, you won't be able to say a few words before you leave anyway. Why bother to make such a big move? Why don't you just let the master and his wife go to the palace to see the empress?"
"To put it lightly, do you think the palace is easy to enter? Our master has only entered the palace two or three times in these years, and we may not be able to see the emperor every time - that is, a master like Uncle Jiao, can we
Go to the palace to see the emperor every three days."
"Oh~ I don't know how much money it will cost this time."
“It doesn’t matter how much you spend, as long as you don’t get any at all!”
As one of the servants spoke, she pursed her lips and said: "I heard that when we built the garden, we didn't have any money, so we had to rely on a sum of money from the Xue family to fill the hole. But now, the second master Bao and the second grandma have just
You quarrel right after entering the house, so much so that your in-laws’ wives come to live here, so how can you open your mouth like this to others?”
"Who says it's not the case? I heard that Mr. Bao this time..."
"Stop talking, stop talking quickly, the attacker is coming!"
The discussion was in full swing, when the word "attack" was suddenly heard, and several servant girls hurriedly made bird and beast powder.
One of them walked slower, and was grabbed by the attacker's hand. He smiled and said, "Auntie, don't be busy. Please send me a message and ask Miss Ying'er to come out and talk."
Naturally, the servant girl didn't dare to refuse, so she hurriedly went into the west wing to look for Ying'er.
Not long after, Ying'er came out with a straight face, and saw Xiren holding four-color snacks in his hand and smiling broadly. Her face softened a little unconsciously, and she frowned and asked, "It's the second master who asked you to come.
of?"
"Yes and no."
Xiren said, forcing the four-color snacks to Ying'er, and said: "Second Master heard that you knelt all night that day, and felt sorry for you, so I took the initiative to invite Ying over to see you."
"What are you doing with these?"
Ying'er declined for a while, but when she saw that she couldn't, she also heard that Baoyu not only did not blame her for complaining, but also felt guilty, so her attitude softened a little bit, and she complained in a broken voice: "I didn't say that, Second Master Bao is like this
What she did was too much, but the old lady thought she was our girl at the time..."
"Shh~"
Xiren hurriedly motioned for her to keep her voice down, and reminded: "Old lady, that matter was easily overturned. You must never dare to mention it again in the future!"
After saying that, he sighed helplessly: "You still don't know that our second master just came up with it all at once. He didn't have any brains at the time. Now I regret it so much that I feel blue in my intestines. I have been trying every way to apologize to grandma, but..."
As she said that, she poked her head in and looked inside: "You have always made the decision around grandma, why did you suddenly add Qingwen as the doorkeeper?"
Hearing her mention Qingwen, Ying'er was also a little unhappy, but Xiangling was a bit upset. He had served the girl before, and he had a kind and innocent temperament. One more girl would not be too much, and one less her would not be a big deal.
But what about Qingwen? She didn’t talk about it when she was recuperating. Now that she is well, how can it be her turn to point fingers at others?!
However, Ying'er didn't want to discuss this with Xiren, so she said with a straight face: "This is arranged by Miss Shi Da, what can we talk about? Do you have anything else? If it's okay, I'll go first
Go back and get busy..."
"Don't worry!"
Xiren hurriedly grabbed her and said with a smile: "Good sister, I don't insist on interceding with the second master, but after all, we have become husband and wife, so we can't always live apart like this, right?"
As he said that, he curled his lips twice and said, "Just now, I saw a few women chatting at the entrance of the courtyard."
These words touched Ying'er's heart.
Although she defended Baochai and even spoke out bluntly in front of the old lady, deep down in her heart, she felt that the young couple could not continue to be in such a stalemate and that sooner or later they would have to relax.
But she also knew that she couldn't let go of this matter in a hurry, so she said calmly: "Didn't we already discuss it and let the second master go to the Yamen to work seriously in the yamen after the year, and first look like he is motivated?"
"That's for sure!"
Xiren hurriedly boasted for Baoyu: "Second Master has been reading the official document template given by Uncle Jiao recently. He refused to put it down even when eating or sleeping. He almost got a cantilever stab in the buttocks - he is working so hard not for his own future, but for ours.
grandmother!"
At this point, the topic suddenly changed: "But you also know that he has never gone through this experience in the past, and he may not be able to do it perfectly in a hurry, so I would like to ask my sister to lay an ambush first. If things happen,
There are twists and turns, but there is also a turning point."
"this……"
Ying'er pondered for a long time, then looked at the four-color snacks in her hand, she was obviously moved.
Xiren immediately struck while the iron was hot, and hinted to Ying'er in and out of words that he would take the initiative to retreat from the house in the future and let Ying'er carry her aunt first.
Ying'er's face was slightly red, and she finally relaxed: "Then let me try it first, but don't put too much hope in it, girl... Grandma always has an idea. If she is sure of something, it is useless for anyone to tell her.
"
"It doesn't work if others say it, but it will definitely help if you say it!"
Xiren flattered Ying'er again and made Ying'er happy. Then they separated and returned to Yihongyuan - Aunt Xue moved into the bridal chamber, so Jia Baoyu naturally had no choice but to return to Yihongyuan for a temporary stay.
.
Back in Yihong Courtyard, she originally wanted Baoyu to report the good news, and to tell him to get closer to Ying'er in the future, so that Ying'er could work hard to make peace.
Who would have imagined that as soon as he entered the door, he would see the official document templates scattered on the floor, Baoyu lying on his back on the bed, with a copy of The West Chamber covering his face, one leg curled up on the bed, and the other hanging to the ground.
"My little ancestor!"
Xiren stamped his feet anxiously, squatted down to pick up the official document templates, and complained: "What are you causing trouble? Uncle Jiao has so many things to do, if he wasn't thinking about the friendship in the past, how could he be so busy?
Taking the time to teach the second master? How can he be worthy of his painstaking efforts like this?!"
"These foot-wrap-like articles are smelly, long, and boring!"
Baoyu pulled down The West Chamber with a look of impatience on his face.
Seeing this, Xiren raised the official document in his hand at him and reminded: "Second Master, don't forget, Uncle Jiao will take the exam later!"
"That's not the case these days."
Jia Baoyu turned over, turned his back to Xi Ren and said lazily: "He will be promoted to Young Master tomorrow morning. He will be busy for a few days no matter what. It won't be too late for me to study again then."
With his temperament, it was extremely difficult for him to endure the sight of her for two days - in fact, he didn't pay much attention to it in these two days, otherwise Xiren wouldn't have gone to get vaccinated in private.
By the third day, he couldn't stand anything he said, so much so that he developed a rebellious mentality and began to doubt whether it was worth all the effort and effort to win back Sister Bao.
After all, the only one I love is Sister Lin!
Ah~
Sister Lin, Sister Lin who never advises herself to make progress, where are you now?!
Xiren looked at his lying posture and thought about his previous bragging to Ying'er, and couldn't help but sigh.
She knew Baoyu Shunmao's temper best, and Kuang also felt that Jiao Shun would probably not come back in the next few days, so she did not persuade him to read the official document template, but changed the subject and said, "Then the second master can also talk to grandma.
Ah, you haven’t been there for several days..."
"I would like to go!"
Baoyu jumped up and said with a pout, "Qingwen is guarding the door like a god, as if she wants to eat people, but how dare I come forward?"
After a pause, he couldn't help but beat the bed hard, and said angrily: "I didn't know who sold her at the beginning, but I was asked to take the blame!"
Hearing him shirk responsibility, Xiren instinctively wanted to follow him and tell him away, but suddenly she heard She Yue come in and report that Uncle Jiao was here, and he asked the second master to go to the front to talk.
"What?!"
Baoyu was shocked and thought, why didn't Brother Jiao act according to common sense? Are his own affairs more important than getting promoted and making a fortune?
It's impossible for him to be the same as me and have no interest in career and economics, right?
While cursing in his heart, he hurriedly put on his shoes. He quickly stepped forward and snatched the official document template. After thinking about it, he gave half of it to the attacker: "Hurry through it and see which ones have the least number of words.
Pick it out for me!”
As he said that, he ran to the table, picked up the template with the smallest number of words and glanced at it in a hurry, hoping that if he was not quick enough to sharpen his skills in battle, it would be useless.
at the same time.
In the living room in the front yard, Jiao Shun was sipping tea with Jia Zheng while discussing the matter of visiting relatives this time.
