Sister-in-law Liu made up her mind and wanted to give her daughter to Jiao Shun.

At noon, I rushed to nothing, but I didn't give up and stayed until nightfall.

But after waiting and waiting for Jiao Shun to come back, I finally looked for the jade bracelet and found out that it had been intercepted by the great master on the way, and I was not sure when he would be able to come back.

Sister-in-law Liu was immediately discouraged when she heard this. She had just asked for leave today, and tomorrow she would have to serve those big-bellied men in another courtyard. She was afraid that she would not be free for ten days and a half.

But this time it was unfortunate, so we could only postpone it later.

Not to mention how she came back disappointed.

But it was said that Jiao Shunming was invited by the eldest master, but in fact when he arrived at Dongkua Courtyard, it was Mrs. Xing who came to see him.

Because the Xing family had failed in vain before, this time they learned a lesson and ordered people to block the intersection early. Using Jia She's name, he invited Jiao Shun to his home and made insinuations to find out whether he and those Yungui generals

What exactly is the relationship between officials?

At first, Jiao Shun thought that the couple was also interested in the lumber business, and was thinking about how to politely refuse, but as he listened, he felt that something was not right.

"Mrs."

Seeing that the maids were all waiting at the door, he lowered his voice slightly and asked straight to the point: "We don't need to be polite, but I don't know what you have to explain to me today."

"Is this..."

When Mr. Xing heard this, he faltered.

After all, this thing doesn't make sense. No matter how good Jiao Shun is with those Yungui generals, he can't let them give up his future, right?

However, my master’s whims are too wild to be questioned, and he cannot tolerate any questioning. This is really frustrating!

Jiao Shun couldn't respond for a long time, and subconsciously glanced secretly, only to see Mr.

If you look closely at the pattern and appearance, it is similar to the nightgown that the jade bracelet got from Mrs. Wang.

It's not surprising when you think about it. Aunt Zhao was trying to attract people to buy her in a big way, so why should the news not be leaked?

It is reasonable for Mr. Xing to look for a few solid favorites.

Just as his mind was following the sling, making some associations that would reveal the whole thing at a glance, Xing suddenly raised his head and said, "I have something to do here, and I would like to ask you to help me look into the details."

Knowing that the topic was coming, Jiao Shun quickly gathered his thoughts and said seriously: "Please give me some instructions, Madam."

The Xing family asked Sun Shaozu to help fill the vacancies, and just in time for the imperial court to reward the heroes of the Southern Expedition, he filled up the vacant official positions in the Beijing camp, which is 70% true and 30% false.

After hearing this, Jiao Shun felt puzzled and blurted out: "Although most of the vacancies in the Beijing camp are taken up by Yungui people, relying on the connections in the family, as long as more money is used, exceptions can be made."

After a pause, he added: "If he is reluctant to part with money, we can't blame him for this."

"this……"

Xing finally thought of a way to circumvent the situation, but was blocked again by what he said.

After hesitating for a long time, he smiled awkwardly and said: "After all, it is a friendship between ancestors and fathers. It is not good to just watch him go bankrupt. The master and the second master both said that you are resourceful. I wonder if there is any way to reduce the cost.

?”

After all, she still couldn't say the stupid thing about asking Jiao Shun to persuade General Yungui to stay away.

But when Jiao Shun heard this, he suddenly realized.

How could Jia She, a master who eats people without spitting out their bones, ever consider others so much?

He must have received money from others and wanted to do more with less, so he asked me to help him make decisions.

He pondered for a moment and then said: "If you give up the job in the Beijing camp and find another job, you won't spend much money, but you will get a lot of benefits."

When Mrs.

Jiao Shun said: "Since Yunnan and Guizhou have transferred so many meritorious generals to serve in Beijing, there will be many vacancies in the south. We might as well send him to Yunnan and Guizhou to find a big and lucrative position."

"this……"

Mr. Xing immediately grimaced again: "I'm afraid he may not be willing."

There is a huge gap between the Beijing camp and the Yunnan-Guizhou frontier army. Even if there is a big fat vacancy, I am afraid that Sun Shaozu will not be willing to do so.

This was what Jiao Shun was waiting for, and he immediately spread his hands: "He is neither willing to pay more money, nor is he willing to go to Yunnan and Guizhou to serve as an official. This is neither right nor left, and I don't know what to do."

When Jiao Shun gave up the idea, Mr. Xing became more and more confused.

I secretly thought that I would just go back to Jia She and ask him to invite Sun Dazong to Yunnan and Guizhou as an official. Then Sun Dazong would be in trouble for a few days, and it would stop after he goes to Yunnan.

…………

at the same time.

Jia Tanchun had just had dinner with Mrs. Wang when his biological mother, Aunt Zhao, sent someone to look for her.

Since Jia Zheng left Beijing, Aunt Zhao had lost her moisture and her temper had become even worse. When she saw her daughter, she scolded her: "I asked someone to invite you, but you resisted. My wife didn't even call me.

You go upside down to show your courtesy!"

However, Tanchun was not easy to get along with, and said coldly: "It is the daughter's duty to be filial to her wife. If I ask my wife to invite me again and again, won't people say that I have violated my filial piety?"

"you!"

Aunt Zhao jumped three feet high in anger, and stared at Tanchun like a fighting cock. Her breasts, which had nurtured a pair of children, were rising and falling violently. It took a long time to calm down, and she said firmly: "Okay, okay, since you are a filial man,

Now that your uncle is ill, I want to go back to my parents' home to visit. You can take a leave of absence from my wife for me, and then follow me, which will be considered as fulfilling your filial piety!"

"How did this happen?!"

When Tanchun heard this, he refused without thinking: "I heard that he was infected with the epidemic. What will happen if he returns home after the illness? And if my father is not at home, how can my aunt leave the house at will?"

The first half of the sentence was fine, but the second half completely shocked Aunt Zhao.

"how?!"

She put her hands on her hips and pushed her breasts forward, and said angrily: "Am I the slut who attracts bees and butterflies? You haven't doubted me yet, but you were on your guard first?! Are you going to put the shit in my head?"

Do you still think you are too innocent?"

Jia Tanchun realized that he had made a mistake, but he wanted to endure a few words.

But after hearing Aunt Zhao's loud voice, she still couldn't help but scolded: "If Aunt Zhao keeps shouting like this, you can't blame me if rumors really spread!"

After a pause, he added: "I still have a few taels of silver saved there. I will ask the servant to deliver it tomorrow, and my aunt will ask someone to deliver it to the Zhao family. Even if you return to your parents' home now, you will only give

Auntie and the others are in a mess, this feeling is stronger than anything else!"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao's face softened a little, but then she started to bring up old things again: "Your uncle has always been in poor health, and it's not a problem to follow Huan'er around. You have to help him find some leisure time.

It’s good to have a lucrative job..."

Tanchun was the most impatient of these requests, so he immediately cut off Aunt Zhao's words and said coldly: "If Aunt Zhao doesn't tell me anything, I will leave first - the sisters have made an appointment to get together at Sister Bao's house. At this hour of the day,

I'm afraid my daughter will be blamed if she doesn't leave."

With that said, he left Aunt Zhao and went out of the wing on his own.

"Come back, come back!"

Aunt Zhao shouted after her twice. Seeing the wind blowing under her feet, she stamped her feet angrily and cursed: "Why did I give birth to such a heartless thing!"

Jia Tanchun turned a deaf ear to his mother's scolding and rushed all the way to Xue's house. Then he softened his expression and entered the room with a smile: "I'm a little late. Have you guys thought about how to celebrate your second brother's birthday?"

But it turns out that the Yingying Yanyan gathered together today just to discuss the matter of giving Baoyu a birthday.

This group of people was so well organized that even Shi Xiangyun was specially called over.

To welcome the spring, Xichun stepped forward to help Tanchun take off his cloak.

Lin Daiyu immediately continued: "Sister Bao is a rich man. It doesn't matter if she pays for this money alone, but since the sisters are joining together to celebrate his birthday, it is better to reflect everyone's wishes. From now on

It’s not uncommon to buy it from outside.”

Although the original intention of her words was that she did not want Baochai to be more beautiful than before, it actually echoed the thoughts of the sisters - although everyone present was rich, but regardless of the jewelry and clothes, their net worth was probably not as high as that of others.

Here are some big maids.

The fourth girl, Jia Xichun, suggested: "Then embroider something for my second brother..."

"No, no!"

Before she could finish her words, Tanchun shook her head: "Everyone knows it, but it's not interesting anymore. You might as well choose something that no one is good at. Let's learn from scratch in the past few days and then we can see what we like."

"That's right!"

Lin Daiyu believed that she was a clever person and was not afraid to compete with others from scratch, so she quickly agreed.

"I have an idea!"

Shi Xiangyun suddenly clapped his hands and said, "How about each of us cook a dish to celebrate my second brother's birthday?"

Without waiting for others to speak, she said excitedly: "There are many dishes outside, I have long wanted to try them myself - then let's not say who cooked what dish, let the second brother review it, and see who of us can do it."

Winning the first prize in one fell swoop!”

Seeing that she was eager to give it a try, the girls couldn't help but dampen her interest.

Inside, Lin Daiyu's eyes fell on Baochai, but she was quite competitive.

Xue Baochai saw it in his eyes, but pretended not to know on his face, and added with a smile: "Although we are doing it ourselves, we still need to find a knowledgeable person to check it, otherwise the half-baked people will ruin their stomachs, but

It will lead to extreme joy and sorrow.”
