Early the next morning.

In the dim light, Jiao Shun looked at the silk nightgown on Yuchai's body, which was torn at the front and torn at the waist, and he couldn't help but regret it.

In fact, if we really talk about it, Mrs. Wang is getting older after all, and her beauty is not as good as that of her sister, let alone the leaders of the younger generation.

However, he has a noble status and always shows himself to be dignified. This sudden violation of his completely opposite inner nature will inevitably lead to blasphemous thoughts in people's minds.

Since it is blasphemy...

It is inevitable that we will get confused and forget about long-term sustainable recycling.

Nowadays, it is torn like this, even if you want to repair it, you can't repair it.

Yuchai felt the movement around him and woke up from his deep sleep. However, his body was so sore and limp that he couldn't bear the strength, so he still lay on his back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my sister gave me three items in total. In addition to this one, there are two more."

Where are the pieces.”

Only then did Jiao Shun feel relieved. He smiled and pinched her face: "You worked hard yesterday. I'll give you half a day off. Please take a rest inside."

After saying that, he stood up carelessly, took out his sweat towel, and covered his body with his trousers.

Although Yuchai didn't get up after listening to his instructions, when he saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "Xiang Ling, Xiang Ling, come and help the uncle change his clothes!"

Then, he snickered again at the top of his lungs: "Sir, do you think I should change the remaining two items or not?"

Without waiting for a reply, she covered her face with the quilt and kept laughing inside.

Jiao Shun was not embarrassed because his dirty thoughts were revealed by this little hoof. It was just a man's bad nature, and there was nothing to avoid in front of the maid - of course, the bad qualities of ordinary men were not as big as his.

.

Let’s not go into details about the trivial matters in the morning.

Today, Jiao Shun is still on duty in the Yamen, but he no longer has to go to the Secretary's Office to take charge. He only needs to take care of his own one-third of an acre of land.

During this period, Jiao Shun specially sent people to the Division of Affairs to investigate. He found that Mr. Qian had arrived in the Division of Affairs. He was furious when he saw the black and gray everywhere, but he never touched him. It was obvious that he was guilty of being a thief.

Cowardly.

It's definitely out of the question to expect people like this to come to you on their own initiative.

Therefore, Jiao Shun concentrated on the internal affairs of the handyman's office.

Although all government offices in the capital have a holiday during the Chinese New Year, there are still some official duties that need to be handled.

And while he was dealing with these official duties, there was an episode outside - the gatekeeper came to report that there were several southerners wandering around the gate of the government office. When he asked, it turned out to be the servants of the envoys and treasury under the general office.

I want to ask to see the superior.

As mentioned before, the Handyman's Office is mainly responsible for producing semi-finished products and purchasing some scrap materials. These so-called "depots" are the acquisition stations set up by the Handyman's Office in various provinces.

Hearing that it was police officers from the local area who were outside asking for a meeting, Jiao Shun hurriedly ordered someone to invite them in to inquire carefully.

But it turned out that these few people were the servants who brought natural kerosene from the south.

Originally, after delivering their errands yesterday, they were supposed to return the same way they came. However, heavy snow fell and blocked the road. These people had to stay in the capital temporarily.

As a result, they only stayed for one night, which made them miserable - prices in the capital were already expensive, but as the Lantern Festival was approaching, all kinds of expenses went up even more.

In just one day and one night, a few people actually spent a third of their money.

At this rate, they were afraid that they would run out of food and ammunition before leaving Beijing, so as soon as they gathered together, they came to the Ministry of Works to see the superior, hoping to at least be reimbursed for their food, accommodation and travel expenses back.

It's not easy for them to make a trip during this New Year, let alone an errand arranged by themselves.

So after Jiao Shun asked about the reason, he immediately called the secretary and wanted to pay out the money according to the regulations and give it to them as rewards. Unexpectedly, this process didn't matter, but he found out that thirty taels of silver had been given yesterday!

There were a total of five people escorting the kerosene to Beijing, which was equivalent to six taels of silver per person. Although it was not much, at least it was enough for them to get through these days.

Without further investigation, Jiao Shun guessed that this must be the work of Liu Changyou's master and apprentice.

Jiao Shun felt a little disappointed in his heart. Yesterday, he made peace with Liu Changyou's master and apprentice because they were able to handle things well. He didn't want to do such a thing behind his back.

But then I thought about it, even a Shangguan like him cannot be called honest and honest, so what’s so surprising about having a few corrupt officials under his command?

Besides, if he really had a few Hai Rui under his command, he might not be able to control them.

So he made a confession and kept it on file. Jiao Shun did not delve into the matter further. Instead, he paid another thirty taels of silver out of his own pocket and promised to contact the official ship going south to take the two of them back to the south by land and water.

, avoid the snow on the road.

At that time, the shouts of thanks from the guards made the snow rustle down on the corridor.

Obviously, this matter cannot be hidden from Liu Changyou, but Jiao Shun has no intention of hiding it from him. It is just a tacit understanding between each other - provided that this guy stops cheating and helping others plot against him, a superior official.

…………

Since that day when she and Wang Xifeng broke up, Jia Lian moved to the outer study room again.

At first, he was enjoying himself, and with the help of a steady stream of money earned from other courtyards, he fattened his pockets and strengthened his liver and gallbladder. He actually regained the carefree life he had in the south of the Yangtze River.

But as time went by, there was no sound from Wang Xifeng's side, and he gradually became uneasy.

He knows his 'Second Grandma' best. She is usually unreasonable and still stirs up trouble. What's more, this time she has taken advantage of her. Logically speaking, she should have made some noise, but why is she deaf and dumb?

As if, indifferent to oneself?

Because he was secretly murmuring, after the New Year, Jia Lian first tried to make insinuations, and then habitually began to please Sister Feng.

After more than ten days of hard work, Wang Xifeng finally showed mercy and asked Ping'er to invite him over for a talk that afternoon.

Jia Lian was overjoyed and asked for some pills from Jia Zhen, so as not to reveal the consequences of his recent excessive indulgence and ruin all his previous efforts.

But when he got home, he saw no one around, except for a pretty young lady standing beside him, guarding Wang Xifeng, who was dressed lazily in a spring shirt.

When he was detained next to Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian's heart was filled with the thought that domestic flowers were not as fragrant as wild flowers. But now that he was not allowed to get close to her for the rest of the month, and when he first saw Wang Xifeng's deliberately flirtatious attitude, the only thing left in his heart was that a little farewell was better than a new love.

While regretting not taking the pill before coming, he moved forward with saliva on his face.

"Um?"

Wang Xifeng made a sultry sound in her voice, but she took advantage of the situation and raised a long, straight and well-proportioned leg, and touched Jia Lian's chin with her toes to stop him from getting closer.

Seeing that even though she was wearing embroidered shoes, her small and delicate arches still curved like a crescent moon, Jia Lian swallowed her saliva, climbed up her ankles with both hands, and said with a smile: "Good lady,

I miss you so much."

"Bah~"

Wang Xifeng pulled her legs back, allowing him to peel off her embroidered shoes, tilted her head and rested her pink fist on her head, and spat: "Look at the cannibalistic attitude of the second master that day, maybe you don't want me to die?"

Jia Lian bent down and put the embroidered shoes on the footrest, took advantage of the situation and took another step forward. He stared at Sister Feng and said with excitement: "Isn't it that I couldn't get off the stage for a while and was obsessed with it? Now I only have you in my heart."

one person!"

This is true.

He really only has Wang Xifeng in his eyes now, but when he succeeds, he is afraid that it will be another story.

"You can't fool me with your sweet words!"

Seeing that he was about to throw himself on the bed, Wang Xifeng took off the other embroidered shoe, rolled to the inside of the bed, and ordered Ping'er: "Show that thing to the second master."

Jia Lian was agitated when he heard this, and secretly thought that he had been hanging out with so many girls recently, and they all obviously chose to stay outside the Qingtian Bairi Mansion. Could it be that she actually found out the clues?

Just as he was feeling uneasy, he saw Ping'er presenting him with an account book.

Jia Lian flipped it over inexplicably, but his face suddenly darkened. Because of his recent small actions of deducting project funds from other hospitals, most of them were recorded in this account book, and even the specific amounts were quite different.

He no longer cared about the charm, he stood up and stared at Ping'er and asked: "Where did this come from?"

After a pause, he said firmly: "Yes, it must be Jiao Shun who is causing trouble!"

When he thought about it, the one who had always been close to Wang Xifeng and could find out so many problems about him was Jiao Shun, who relied on Jia Zheng's favor and could check the accounts at any time.

Ping'er couldn't help but said: "Second Master mistakenly blamed Brother Shun, he..."

"Do I still need him to cause trouble?"

Before Ping'er could make a clear distinction, Wang Xifeng sneered on the bed: "As for the second master's behavior of caring about the head and not the body, if I hadn't been kind enough to help cover it up, who could have concealed it?! I wholeheartedly protect the second master, but the second master

I have become so unfaithful that instead of treating me as a man-eating tiger, I treat all those dirty, smelly, and rotten creatures as my darlings!"

After hearing this, Jia Lian's face softened a little. He sat sideways on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "Good lady, I wronged you. Can't I change it? From now on, I won't dare to say whatever the lady says."

I made you angry!"

As he said that, he leaned forward to get on the bed.

Wang Xifeng pressed her stockings against his chest again, and teased Jia Lian's heart with her delicate toes, saying softly: "I can't trust your mouth, so let's establish a letter first."

Jia Lian felt like her heart was scratched by hundreds of paws, wishing she could turn into a greedy monkey. While grabbing Wang Xifeng's tender feet, she said anxiously: "Good lady, I will write an oath later!"

When I saw him, I was about to climb up the pole.

Wang Xifeng suddenly kicked Jia Lian with great force, almost knocking him down. She covered her mouth and said with a smile: "There's no need to go to such trouble, just put your fingerprints on this account book."

"this……"

Jia Lian's expression suddenly changed.

Wang Xifeng held the handkerchief, stared at him with her charming triangular red phoenix eyes and said: "If you dare to go behind my back again in the future, I will hand this account book to the second master and the old lady.

They see what it means to defend against house thieves day and night!"

"you!"

Jia Lian got out of bed in anger, pointed at Wang Xifeng and said, "Are you trying to kill me?! If the second master sees these things, I'm afraid even my uncle and nephew will not be able to do it!"

For a moment, he had the intention to swallow Sister Feng's son. He clenched and loosened his fists, loosened and clenched them again, but in the end he still did not dare to take action.

In fact, it was Wang Xifeng who made the first move last time. He was really scratched so hard that he subconsciously slapped him back twice.

At this time, Wang Xifeng also jumped up, gritted his teeth and glared at Jia Lian: "If the second master lives a good life, this thing will just rot in my place - now this frowning and glaring person still has extraneous intentions?!"

"I……"

Jia Lian's momentum suddenly became discouraged and he was determined to walk away, but he was afraid that Wang Xifeng would turn around and hand the account book to his uncle and aunt.

The handsome face changed several times, but finally he managed to squeeze out a smile, sat back on the bed, and begged softly: "Good wife, good second grandma, please spare me this time."

"As long as you do well in the future, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Xifeng, however, still spoke without hesitation, stood up, took the account book from Ping'er's hand, and handed it to Jia Lian condescendingly.

Ping'er remained silent and placed the ink pad box next to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian gritted his teeth, dipped his hand into the box, slapped it hard on the title page of the account book, and said bitterly: "Is this finally done?!"

Only then did Wang Xifeng giggle. While handing the account book to Ping'er, she still said condescendingly to Jia Lian: "Since the accounts are correct, the second master should hand over half of the money to subsidize the family."

.”

"What?!"

Jia Lian suddenly stood up again, staring at Wang Xifeng with eyes that were like spitting fire.

Wang Xifeng, however, was happy and undaunted. She met Jia Lian's gaze and said with a smile: "Everyone knows the principle of 'marry a man, dress and eat' - besides, I don't want to use your money, I just want to save it for the second master."

Come on, lest you be coaxed by some naughty fox again!"

After saying that, he deliberately said to Ping'er: "Put that thing away quickly, lest it spread out and cause trouble to the second master."

"You, you!"

Jia Lian pointed at Sister Feng angrily.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng suddenly grabbed his wrist and said with tender and affectionate eyes: "Look at the second master, these hands are not clean either."

As he spoke, he took the handkerchief and flicked it in Jia Lian's hand.

This combination of soft and hard tactics made Jia Lian feel depressed, but he neither dared nor could vent it out.

I could only secretly swear in my heart that I would smash this jealous jar to pieces when I found the opportunity. I hugged Wang Xifeng's slender waist with a sullen face and said: "You have taken my money, and you can't push back today - Mr.

It doesn’t work this way or that way, it ruins my good mood in vain!”

Wang Xifeng's cheeks turned red, but she hurriedly told Ping'er: "What are you doing so stupidly? You haven't brought back the second master's bedding!"

Ping'er knew that she was deliberately getting away from him, so he walked out without hesitation.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly asked again: "Don't come back in a hurry. Bring two posts about the fifteenth family banquet and send them to those who come to the Wang family!"

Only then did Ping'er agree.

After digging around and finding invitations for Lai Wang, Jiao Shun and Jiao Da, he led several maids to Jia Lian's outer study.

Just as he was instructing the little maids to pack their bed, Long'er barged in from outside. He didn't even bother to say goodbye, and asked anxiously: "Sister Ping'er, is the second master really going to move back to the backyard?"

As soon as Ping'er heard this, he knew that the master and the servant must have been doing a lot of things like manipulating men these days. Apart from being disgusted, he was also annoyed that he didn't have any rules, so he said coldly: "Why, do you need to ask for permission first?"

Can’t you?”

Long'er was hit hard, his face turned red but he didn't dare to reply.

It wasn't until Ping'er led the maids out of the courtyard that he spat in the snow and cursed: "What are you proud of?! When you serve the second master, I'm afraid you are not as good as me!"

Unexpectedly, Ping'er heard these words through the wall.
