But it was said that Aunt Zhao rushed to Qiu Shuangzhai in excitement, broke into the house, and saw Tan Chun flipping through the account book with a frown on her face. She snatched the account book over and said disdainfully: "What's the use of this thing? Come on, what's the use of this thing?"

It’s not like they all belong to other people, how many of them can you and your brother leave behind?!”

Only then did Tanchun realize that his mother was coming. He frowned even more and said helplessly, "My aunt is not at home, so why did she come to my place again?"

"What, why can't I come to your mother?!"

Aunt Zhao raised her eyebrows with her hands on her hips, but then she thought of the purpose of her visit this time, and couldn't help but said happily: "Let me tell you, the master just called your brother, saying that he and Baoyu should follow Uncle Jiao

Learn how to be an official - you said that if Baoyu continues to be like this and can't hold up the wall, will his official position have to be given to your brother?"

If he had heard such words before, Tanchun would most likely have wanted to roll his eyes at Aunt Zhao, mocking her for being wishful thinking.

But recently, I have become accustomed to Baoyu's slutty moves, and I feel that Huan Laosan may not be completely without merit.

Although they are both playboys, and Jia Huan's character and talent are obviously not as good as Baoyu's, the good thing is that although he is more naughty, he is still willing to do some superficial work and does not show his emotions on his face like Baoyu.

In particular, Jiao Shun is now becoming a towering tree. Even if Jia Huan has no great ability, in the future, relying solely on Jiao Shun's guidance and guidance, he will be much stronger than Baoyu who is holding back and holding back.

Of course, it is basically impossible for Jia Huan to replace Baoyu's official position. This is not a hereditary and irreplaceable title, or a local official from a border area.

Set - not to mention that this brother Baoyu is not over yet.

At that moment she shook her head and said: "That is an official granted by the imperial court. How can it be given or received privately? But with Brother Jiao watching over him, as long as Brother Huan is willing to make progress, his future future may not be worse than that of his second brother."

"The designation is perfect!"

Aunt Zhao said categorically, and then she went around to the desk again, raised her elbows against Tanchun, and said with a wink, "How about we use more strength? Firstly, it's for your brother, and secondly, I'll help you hold it back."

Him, lest the verbal agreement not count."

"you!"

After Tanchun heard her shameless hint, he was immediately ashamed and angry. He wished he could point at her nose and yell at Mrs. Y, but he was afraid that if they really got into an argument, Aunt Zhao would say more unpleasant words.

.

If others listen to it then...

So the three girls took a deep breath, pointed to the door and shouted: "Get out!"

"You girl!"

Aunt Zhao immediately put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "I'm not doing it for your own good. Now that he is about to be promoted, he may not be interested in a concubine like you. What if...hey~ what are you going to do?!"

Halfway through, Tanchun saw that without saying a word, he walked around her and walked out. When he got to the door, he said: "If you don't leave, I will!"

"This damn girl!"

Aunt Zhao chased her outside the door, only to see Tan Chun get on his bicycle, put the hem of his skirt on the crossbar, and drive off at a fast pace.

Seeing that she couldn't catch up, she stamped her feet and beat her chest angrily. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "If you can stop me today, how can you stop me tomorrow? At worst, I will follow you when you get married."

Come and go often!”

Not to mention how determined Aunt Zhao was to change her job to take out food.

However, Tanchun left Qiu Shuangzhai angrily and rode around for a while, then her mood gradually calmed down. After all, after so many years, she had already become accustomed to Aunt Zhao's unreasonable behavior.

What really caused her to be upset right now was the fact that her eldest sister, Yuan Chun, was about to have her second wedding.

After hearing the news that day, Tanchun quietly took back the account books. After all, the reason why he was so anxious to hand over the accounts and rights was to help the family win over Sister Bao. Now he saw a big hole in the hole, and he had to pay the accounts again.

It becomes a shirking of responsibility.

Tanchun would not do this due to emotion or reason.

So now she still has to face this matter head-on as a housekeeper.

If it were the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to go home to visit relatives, Tanchun would most likely suggest frugal arrangements. However, Yuanchun was the first concubine to go home to visit relatives. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes would be watching. If the arrangement was too simple, outsiders would

It's just a joke, I'm just afraid that someone will talk too much and slander me, and be accused of contempt for the emperor's favor.

Nowadays, the mansion can no longer withstand any turmoil.

Do we really need to mortgage the tire shop’s dividends?

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Tanchun was determined not to let the family take this path. After all, once the dividends from the shop were mortgaged, half of the family's income would be reduced every year. At that time, the family's income would get worse and worse, and it would be difficult to turn around.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Tanchun simply turned the front of the car and rode towards the front yard, preparing to ask Jiao Shun for advice.

When they arrived at Rongxi Hall, they saw She Yue looking outside, so she asked, "Is Uncle Jiao still in there?"

She Yue shook her head: "When the second master came, it happened that Uncle Jiao went to visit the old lady. Now the second master and the third master Huan are inside listening to the master's lecture."

After Tanchun heard the words, he went to the door and listened for a while. When he saw that they were all commonplace, he suddenly lost interest, so he followed to the old lady's courtyard.

The words are divided into two parts.

But it was said that when Jiao Shun was able to visit Jia Mu in person for the first time, he saw that the old lady had obviously aged a lot. She had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and her face, which was originally smooth, now looked ridged.

Jiao Shun greeted her, and it took her a long while before she turned her eyes. She looked at Jiao Shun up and down for a long time, opened her mouth, but was obviously stuck, and couldn't come up with a single word.

Yuanyang sighed at the side: "The old lady has been refusing to recognize anyone. The imperial doctor has prescribed some prescriptions. I feel better in terms of food and drink, but... alas~!"

It was Mrs. Wang and Baochai who were on duty today. Listening to Yuanyang sighing, they also sighed rhythmically. Mrs. Wang even wiped her tears half-seriously.

Jiao Shun casually said some words of relief, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I know a female doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating women and children in the palace. She is quite good at treating this disease - I heard that His Majesty also asked her to help with diagnosis and treatment.

, only because she is a woman, her reputation is unknown."

"There is such a person?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked: "I wonder how we can invite her to treat the old lady's illness?"

"This is not difficult, just leave it to me."

Jiao Shun said with guarantee: "I will try to contact the female doctor when I get back and bring her to visit the old lady in two days to treat her."

In fact, he didn't recognize the female doctor at all. He underestimated Lin Daiyu's stubbornness and courage at the beginning. When he went to Taohua Lane yesterday, Sister Lin disguised herself so that she could follow her to Rongguo Mansion to visit her grandmother.

Jiao Shun refused to listen to any advice, either dead or alive, so he had no choice but to accept it.

This can be regarded as self-defeating and self-defeating.

Of course, Sister Lin's fake look at first glance was definitely not going to work. He thought about adding some material to her clothes, adding some padding to her shoes to create the illusion of plumpness and tallness, combing her hair like a woman's hair, and then raising her eyebrows.

If you paint thicker and wear a thick veil, you can probably get away with it.

Mrs. Wang didn't know what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd, so she thanked Xue Baochai profusely in front of her.

Seeing that Jiao Shun was about to say goodbye and return to Rongxi Hall to start classes, Baochai suddenly expressed that he had worked hard a while ago and was thinking about his sister Xiangyun. Now that Ying'er is well, it's time for Qingwen and Xiangling to return to Zhao intact.

Jiao Shun secretly said that it was a pity that he had not had time to do anything - mainly because Xiangling was too naive and Qingwen was not very controllable, so he had never been able to find a suitable method.

At the moment, he could only laugh and say: "You have been together since childhood, and you are closer than sisters, so what is there to thank you for? In this way, let the younger brothers and sisters tidy up first, and when I finish the homework of Brother Bao for the school entrance examination, I will take him with me

They go back together."

When this matter was finalized, the happiest person was not only Ying'er, who had just arrived a while ago.

As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when happy events happen, she couldn't help but think of Xiren's boast, so after Jiao Shun left, she encouraged Baochai and said: "Girl, I heard that the second master has been at home all day in order to keep his promise.

If you study those official documents diligently, you will be in trouble."

At this point, she observed Baochai's expression, and then cautiously suggested: "Girl, why don't we follow over and have a look?"

In fact, she should have changed her name to "grandma" a long time ago, but Xue Baochai had to correct her when facing Tan Chun, so it was even more impossible for her to call her "grandma".

After hearing this, Xue Baochai glanced at Ying'er and said calmly: "What's there to see? If I were in another house, I should have learned these things long ago - let's go back, let's go back and say goodbye to Xiangling and Qingwen."

"Oh~"

When Ying'er saw that her proposal was not accepted, she had no choice but to agree sadly, but then she thought about how she could get rid of Qingwen soon, and her mood improved a lot.

Unexpectedly, the master and the servant came out of the old lady's courtyard and bumped into Jia Tanchun.

Baochai was the first to say hello: "The third sister is also here to visit the old lady?"

Tanchun said truthfully: "I heard that Brother Jiao came here and wanted to ask him for advice, so..."

Baochai naturally understood what she wanted to ask for, and immediately shook his head and said: "Then sister must have had a rift with Brother Jiao, he just left for a while."

After Tanchun heard this, he turned back to Rongxi Hall.

But Ying'er on the side suddenly said: "Third Miss, I heard that the second master has been working very hard recently, and I don't know if he can answer the exam fluently this time."

Tanchun said subconsciously: "After all, this is the first time to take the exam. Brother Jiao will not have any problems."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Yinger vaguely, then smiled and invited: "Sister Bao, why don't we go over and have a look?"

It was easy to refuse Ying'er's invitation, but Tanchun also came to invite Xue Baochai. It was hard for Xue Baochai to refuse, especially since she knew that these three girls would not give up until their goals were achieved, so she glanced at Ying'er, nodded happily and said, "That's it.

Go and have a look.”

Ying'er shrank when she stared at her, but when she heard that the girl agreed, her face was full of joy. Although this approach seemed to be overstepping her, she thought that she was doing everything for the girl, so naturally she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Big problem.

So Baochai and Tanchun went together.

On the way, they couldn't help but mention the wedding in Yuanchun, and Xue Baochai said: "If you really don't want to help me, I have some that I can pawn..."

Although Mrs. Wang had already made her plans, she just didn't have the nerve to speak out due to the current deadlock between the two parties.

But now that she took the initiative to mention it, Tanchun waved his hands and said: "How can I use my sister's body? My wife and I will discuss it and we can always come up with a way."

From Tanchun's point of view, Youdao is short on others and short on others. Now the couple is already in a cold war. If they borrow Sister Bao's dowry at this time, how can they have the nerve to persuade her to compromise in the future?

Baochai had expected that she would be like this, so she mentioned it to her specifically.

After all, even the servants knew that she had come with a lot of dowry, so pretending to be deaf and dumb all the time was not an option. Now that Tanchun had declined, it was impossible to find fault with her.

It's not that Baochai is unwilling to donate her dowry to help the Rongguo Mansion tide over the difficulties, it's mainly because the government hasn't been forced to do that yet, and it has to wait until the moment of crisis to show the value of her intervention.

No other words were spoken the whole way.

Seeing the door of Rongxi Hall, Tanchun took Baochai to the corridor and listened to the conversation inside.

At that time, Jiao Shun was standing in front of the coffee table in the middle, his face was full of kindness, but he still showed a condescending aura. Although Baoyu was not afraid of him, every time he heard him mention the importance of official documents, he unconsciously wanted to bend down.

Hunchback.

After clarifying the meaning at the beginning, Jiao asked a few relatively simple questions about the official documents he had compiled.

As a result, Baoyu only answered three of the five questions.

That's all, the biggest problem is the two questions he didn't answer. Even if you haven't read the answers, as long as you think about it carefully, you can still give some insights.

The ones that Pian Baoyu had read were just as written, and the ones that he hadn't read were not willing to think about it at all.

Seeing this scene, Jia Zheng looked a little unhappy, while Jia Huan shook his head to cover up his gloating.

Tanchun outside also felt a little regretful. She had just heard Ying'er's words of certainty, and she thought that the second brother had really worked hard. But listening to the answers inside, she could tell one, two, three even if she had never seen it before.

The second brother is...

At this time, I heard Jiao Shun helplessly say: "Brother Bao, the answers to these questions are actually just to give you a reference, and they do not require you to memorize them by rote - and if you can't give your own answers, how can I possibly do it?"

Can you help me correct any omissions?"

Baoyu felt timid, glanced at his father, and explained in a low voice: "The time is too short, I, I haven't had time to fully understand it."

"Hmph~"

Jia Zheng snorted coldly: "You always like to show off your cleverness, but when it comes to serious business, why can't you get it right?"

The jade is soft and hard to describe.

Baochai outside the door also said nothing, turned around and walked out.

"Sister Bao, stay."

Tanchun hurriedly chased after her. When he passed by Ying'er, he couldn't help but give her a fierce look.

At this moment, Ying'er doesn't know that she is self-defeating?

But how could she have imagined that Xiren would deceive her, and Baoyu would not even hold on tightly to the only 'way out' in front of her?
