But he talked about it in the side hall.

Wang Ziteng sat down on the main seat. Thinking that Sun Shaozu would be arriving soon, he turned to Jiao Shun and said, "Please stand aside for now. Let's talk about other things after I send Sun Shaozu away."

What else can Jiao Shun do?

He responded respectfully and stood not far from Wang Ziteng's side with his eyes and nose in mind.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of Sun Shaozu.

While Wang Ziteng was secretly annoyed, his attention turned to Jiao Shun. He pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "If this matter depends on you, how should you solve it?"

Tsk~

Is this retribution?

When he first gave Mrs. Xing the idea, Jiao Shun never thought that he would also be responsible for the finishing touches.

But since Wang Ziteng asked, he had to answer.

He immediately started thinking and asked carefully: "But I don't know how Mr. She is going to deal with it?"

Since Wang Ziteng was taking the exam in person, Jiao Shun naturally couldn't ask Wang Ziteng how he planned to deal with it, so he asked Jia She, the "sufferer".

Of course, he also knew that Jia She would never have any solution. He was just asking this to delay some time so that he could squeeze out some time to think deeply.

"snort!"

Wang Ziteng snorted and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Brother Enhou has always been kind-hearted and will not care about these slight offenses. He is prepared to guard the door and wait for 'his own self-defeat.'"

Briefly translated, what this said is: Jia She is neither shy nor ashamed, and doesn't care about the reputation. He plans to stay at home for a while and be a coward until Sun Shaozu has to go to Yunnan to take up his post.

This method is indeed very good.

It has truly reached the point where people are shameless and invincible.

It's a pity that Jia Mu and others still want to show their face, otherwise they wouldn't have made a special trip to ask for Prince Teng's favor.

Now that Wang Ziteng has made an appointment with Sun Shaozu in person, he has obviously found a solution.

Moreover, this method must not be too difficult for him, otherwise he would not be able to finalize it in a short period of time.

According to this idea, Jiao Shun quickly thought of a breakthrough, and then gave it up: "From Yi Shun's point of view, there is no solution to this matter."

"Um?"

Wang Ziteng frowned slightly when he heard this, and then heard Jiao Shun continue: "But since Lord Taiwei has come forward, this matter will be easy."

After hearing this, Wang Ziteng was not only unhappy, but frowned even more. He was quite disappointed with Jiao Shun's performance. What he wanted was someone who could figure out the Holy Will, but not a flatterer.

However, these two sentences were just foreshadowing for Jiao Shun. He then said seriously: "Your Majesty Taiwei was ordered to rebuild the navy to prepare for the comeback of the barbarians. Aren't these loyal people who have enmity with the Western Barbarians the right to continue?"

talent?"

"The prosperity of the Southeast is far beyond that of Yunnan and Guizhou, and with Lord Taiwei taking care of it, it is easy to make achievements. It is expected that Sun Shaozu will not refuse. In this way, the misunderstanding between him and Mr. She will naturally be resolved."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ziteng suddenly changed his opinion and was even a little shocked.

Gein Jiao Shun's plan coincided with his ideas!

It would not be unusual for a veteran minister who has been in the officialdom for a long time to deduce this in a short period of time. However, Jiao Shun is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, and he has only been in the officialdom for half a year...

When Wei Dao met the Holy Spirit, the emperor once praised Jiao Shun for his ability to break out of his shackles and look at the world despite his humble background.

For a moment, Wang Ziteng felt some regret.

If he had known that Jiao Shun was capable of this, he should not have let him serve as a companion and stay at home to assist his wife and children. Then he would not have to worry about him all the time.

But then I thought again, if the father and son of the Lai family had not been married into the Rongguo Mansion, they might not have been able to stand out among the old servants, and they might have been buried in the waste.

So he no longer cared about these things, and just firmly decided to win over Jiao Shun - if appropriate, he could even make him the spokesperson for his interests in the capital.

But at the same time……

Wang Ziteng nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty is indeed very discerning. Well, you can go and do your thing - if you have time on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, you might as well go home and sit down."

After hearing this, Jiao Shun was a little confused for a moment. What did he mean by calling him to accompany him, but then sending him away before Sun Shaozu arrived?

"Ha ha."

Seeing Jiao Shun's astonishment, Wang Ziteng laughed loudly and twirled his beard and said: "What I want to say to Sun Shaozu is exactly the same as what you just said. If you are here to watch, wouldn't it be like I am imitating a parrot? I'm afraid then

We are both uncomfortable with each other, so I might as well send you away first and then talk to him."

Only then did Jiao Shun suddenly realize, he smiled and bowed to leave.

When he left the side hall, he couldn't help but feel worried, saying, "If I have free time on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year," how could I dare to break the appointment even if I was so busy?

Judging by this, Taiwei Wang was determined to win over him.

As a result, given the status gap between the two parties and the old relationship, it is not that easy to keep a distance and clear up the relationship as previously envisaged.

And if you offend Wang Ziteng who is at the height of his power, I'm afraid there will be nothing left to do in the future.

Alas~

Let's go and see.

…………

On the other side, in the flower hall of the west wing where the female family members are.

The orioles and swallows led by Daiyu and Baochai are welcoming Jia Baoyu into the hall like stars holding the moon.

Although Wang Xifeng and Li Wan did not come out to greet him, they both stood up and waited.

Seeing that his head was covered with sweat, Wang Xifeng hurriedly ordered Ping'er to serve him tea, while complaining half-truthfully: "Little ancestor, I said you were not allowed to go but you insisted on going, so you went anyway. How come it's such a mess?"

I came back late! Where are Brother Qin and Brother Yun? Why don’t you tell me to take care of them!"

"Don't blame them."

Jia Baoyu wiped his sweat with the handkerchief Dai Yu had just handed over and said excitedly: "I saw that the happy words they posted were too messy, so I spent some time spelling out the millstone in front of the bride's house.

The big word "hundred years" is a good combination of four characters."

According to current wedding customs, on the day before the wedding, the groom's family will send someone to his parents' house to deliver a wedding gift, and they will post happy words with red background on corners along the way, as well as on the edges of mills, mills, and wells.

When they arrive at the bride's home, the elders are responsible for reviewing the wedding day procedures with the bride's parents, while the young men continue to post happy words and ask for wedding envelopes from the bride's family.

Jia Baoyu was impatient to work in the hall for a long time, so he asked for the job of making up.

When he arrived at the bride's house, everyone else was clamoring for the wedding, but he spent most of an hour spelling out a huge "Happy Years" with hundreds of Chinese characters outside the bride's house.

This is him. If it were the second person with such ink marks, everyone would be tired of sitting and waiting for a long time, and I'm afraid he would have become the target of public criticism.

Hearing Baoyu tell the reason for returning home late, everyone smiled a little unconsciously.

Wang Xifeng smiled and scolded: "I say you have made progress, but who would have thought you are still so indifferent!"

Lin Daiyu pushed a plate of snacks in front of Baoyu and said angrily: "It's such a time, you are not afraid of starving yourself."

Jia Baoyu made a face at her and smacked his mouth to taste it: "I tasted all the delicacies last night, and the aftertaste is still lingering over me. How can I be hungry?"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and then she hurriedly covered it with the back of her hand, and proudly peeked at Baochai.

Although there was a lot of commotion in Dongkua Courtyard yesterday, the birthday banquet prepared by the girls for Baoyu was not affected at all.

In the end, after Baoyu tasted it, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Xiangyun ranked in the top three for their cooking skills, while Baochai only ranked fourth, which was just ahead of Yingchun and Xichun.

This made Daiyu feel proud and proud.

It's a pity that Jia Yingchun didn't like Baoyu and others' disparagement of Jiao Shun, so he only used six points out of ten. Otherwise, Baochai would have been ranked second to last.

Although Xue Baochai noticed Lin Daiyu's little move, he pretended to be nonchalant, picked up a piece of pastry from another plate, handed it to Baoyu and said: "Even if you are not hungry, brother Bao should make up for it first - my uncle came to congratulate him personally.

, I am currently receiving guests in the side hall, and as a nephew, you should go and say hello."

As soon as Jia Baoyu took the snack, he heard that Wang Ziteng was here. His hands shook in fright and he almost threw the snack away. Then he jumped up and said in a panic: "Uncle, why is uncle here?"

Although he was not as fearful of the prince as Xue Pan was, at this moment he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Eat yours first!"

With a sullen face, Lin Daiyu took a piece of hibiscus cake from the fruit plate in front of him and stuffed it into Jia Baoyu's mouth. Then she softened her expression slightly and said, "You are going to see your uncle, not the tiger. Are you going to see me?"

Can he still eat you?"

Although Baoyu didn't understand what he had done wrong, he still felt her resentment and hurriedly took a bite of the hibiscus cake. While chewing, he habitually showed a flattering smile.

But there was still anxiety in this smile.

For a period of time after that, Jia Baoyu was a little restless until he heard that Wang Ziteng had left Ningguo Mansion after meeting Sun Shaozu. He was relieved, and then he said with unintentional regret: "Why are you like this, uncle?"

Leaving? You didn’t even wait for me to come over and pay my respects..."

What responded to him was Lin Daiyu's blank stare.

He chuckled twice, then suddenly came to life and shouted to go outside to watch the sideshows for fun.

A seat for the ladies had already been set up outside, and everyone followed him outside.

At this time, on the two low platforms on the east and west, one was singing and dancing, and the other was performing acrobatics. On the high platform directly to the south was Lian Ben's big show. Each one was in a wonderful place, and the people watching were dizzy.

Jia Baoyu, accompanied by her sisters, was so happy that she did not miss Shu.

It was not until the third watch that, at the urging of Wang Xifeng, he reluctantly returned to Rongguo Mansion.

But while everyone was getting ready to leave, Li Wan looked hesitant for some reason.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but wonder: "Are you going to keep vigil here again?"

"I……"

Li Wan hesitated to speak, and after a long time he hesitated and said: "I'm going to see Aunt Zhen, but there is nothing else I need to use. Use it in my place."
