Let’s not mention Shichahai for now.

However, Jia She returned home after applying oil on her soles, and after much thought, she still couldn't let go of the mandarin duck, so she called Mrs.

In the past, not to mention asking for a mistress, even if Jia She wanted to kill someone, Xing would just hand over the knife obediently.

But now that Ms.

How can you be willing to give her to the master? Besides, the old lady just annoyed you earlier and forced you to lock her up for a hundred years before releasing her. Why bother to provoke the old lady now?"

"What do you know, you ignorant idiot?!"

Jia She's old face sank when he heard this, and he cursed angrily: "Master, in addition to being greedy for her good looks, I also want to arrange a chess move in advance - the second brother is sick now, and I don't know when he will die.

, the Wang family has fallen into that situation again, by then I will have to make the decision in this mansion?"

When he said the words "You can't tell when people will be gone", a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Thinking that he had been interacting more and more frequently with those witches and gods recently, Ms.

Jia She stroked his beard and said: "This mandarin duck is most useful around the old lady. The old lady knows best what she is holding in her hand and where she is putting it. Now let's hold her in our hands first, and it will take care of herself in the future."

It can be used!"

Ms. Xing was taken aback and blurted out: "You even cursed the old lady..."

"What did Hun say?!"

Jia She interrupted Ms.

Thinking of the benefits in the future, Ms.

, then naturally women will not be able to stay!”

"Okay, okay, do it quickly!"

After hearing this, Jia She immediately beamed and waved his hand to signal Xing to start taking action immediately. When Xing kicked the door in and out, he thought of something again and hurriedly added: "Also, the matter of rebuilding the Great Flower Hall.

, you should make it clear to Girl Feng as soon as possible, Master, I have to get involved! If she continues to push back, the second room may not be able to protect her!"

These words echoed Ms. Xing's thoughts. A few days ago, Yin Jiao Shun made a false move, saying she wanted to teach Wang Xifeng a lesson, but then suddenly stopped. She didn't say anything, but she was actually not without complaints in her heart.

Now that she saw that Jia She seemed to be on the edge, and even wanted to suppress Wang Xifeng, she was overjoyed, but the balance in her heart actually fluctuated a little.

His eyes were flashing and he was about to say something sincere, but Jia She's face suddenly sank again and he urged impatiently: "What are you stupid woman still doing? Get it done quickly. Master, I'll do it within three to five days."

I want to have sex with that girl in the wedding ceremony!"

As he spoke, a greasy smile appeared on an old face. Xing's appetite was gone as he looked at it. The idea of ​​rebuilding the old relationship had just sprouted, but it was uprooted again.

…………

Let’s go back to Nashichahai Dragon King Temple.

When the carriages and horses of Rongguo Mansion arrived nearby, there were officials from Shuntian Mansion waiting for a long time. The leader was none other than Jia Yucun himself.

Jia Baoyu's dejected appearance could not be blamed on him coming to socialize, so Jiao entrusted him to Zhou Rui's care and went up to talk and laugh with Jia Yucun.

To be honest, what do Jia Yucun, who is full of fame and wealth, have in common with an Adou like Jia Baoyu who cannot afford to support him?

On weekdays, I have to see Jia Baoyu every time I visit, just to please Jia Zheng in a roundabout way.

Now that he was outside and no serious elders from the Rongguo Mansion were present, he really wished that Baoyu would not come forward so that he could be replaced by someone like Jiao Shun.

After the two met and exchanged a few words, they all talked about the expansion of elementary schools - short-term training courses for adults were an emergency measure. Now that they are on the right track, the more important youth training will naturally follow.

That's what's up.

It stands to reason that all the government-run elementary schools in the capital are half-dead, and Zuoanmen Elementary School cannot be opened, so it’s just a matter of choosing another one.

Unfortunately, there are too many people with pink eye in this world, especially in the officialdom. Not to mention that Jiao Shun is an outlier in the officialdom, so he is more likely to attract criticism.

In the past six months, he has risen to great heights due to the new work-study policy, and he has been jealous of many people. The Ministry of Rites has even criticized this. They believe that the recruitment of work-study students in Mongolian schools is to make wedding dresses for others, and it is in vain to benefit outsiders.

Taking these factors into consideration, the expansion of Zuo'anmen Elementary School became a forced compromise.

And since we need to acquire land for expansion, we naturally can't get around the local snake like Shuntian Mansion.

Speaking of official matters, Jiao Shun naturally couldn't get away for a while. Fortunately, Zhou Rui had an overview of the whole situation, led the convoy to the newly cleared open space, and got busy in an orderly manner.

First, the servants were asked to remove the curtains from the carts, and a C-shaped area was built near the lake. After cleaning and spreading, several tables were placed inside, and then the carriages stopped one by one at the entrance of the curtains.

The ladies and maids entered accordingly.

When the girls sat down, various cakes, snacks, sandalwood, wind chimes and other items were delivered like a stream of water outside, and there were even a few pairs of fishing tackle - but it was made clear that it must be maids, and the servants would operate it.

We must not get close to the shore.

Xue Baochai saw that the things sent in from behind were all kinds of strange things. Although he didn't know where they were purchased, he saw that the red jade was arranged in the middle, so it must be Jiao Shun's handiwork. He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Sister Lin said something, and she screamed

Brother Jiao has really spent a lot of money - Miss Hongyu, don't rush to move things yet, we have something to say here."

This was the first person among the people to call Hongyu by her name. Lin Hongyu was very fond of Xue Baochai for a while, so she quickly and respectfully responded, and together with Ying'er, they pushed back the rough servants.

After there were no other distractions, the girls hurriedly surrounded Jia Baoyu and tried to persuade him. Even Xiangyun was among them. Although she didn't like Baoyu's attitude towards her friends, she had been close to him since she was a child.

My cousin, naturally I can't ignore him.

Among them, only Lin Daiyu did not come near. Instead, she pulled Hongyu aside and asked about Xing Xiuyan's current situation.

Jia Baoyu was confused for a moment. No matter how hard everyone tried to persuade him, he turned a deaf ear and kept saying, "I am the one who hurt him." He had no other reaction.

Just when everyone was rushing around anxiously, a servant girl from outside came in and said loudly: "Miss Xiren, Miss Xiren, Li Gui said that he has something important to report to the Second Master. Look..."

"this……"

Xiren looked at Baochai subconsciously.

Xue Baochai thought that no matter what the news was, it would be a good thing as long as the stimulating Baoyu reacted, so he immediately said: "Now that we are outside, there are not so many people to avoid, just let him come in and report!"

Although they said this, the sisters hid far away first, and then ordered people to summon Li Gui to come in and report.

When Tanchun saw Shi Xiangyun looking towards the shore, he knew that she was thinking about Jiao Shun, so he couldn't help but sneered: "What's going on with Jiao Shun? Second brother looks like this, but he still has the time to have a long talk with Jia Yucun!"

"

Shi Xiangyun was a little confused when he heard this, and was about to ask Tanchun why he was targeting Jiao Shun so much when he saw Li Gui running all the way to Jia Baoyu without looking back, announcing the good news: "Second Master! I will ask someone to lie to Jia Baoyu according to Uncle Jiao's wishes."

He said he was sent by the King of Beijing, and now he has sent Mr. Jiang to the Prince’s Mansion in Beijing!"

"What?!"

Now Jia Baoyu finally made a move, grabbed Li Gui's hand, and said excitedly: "Sure enough, Qi Guan has been sent to the palace?!"

"How can this be false? I watched Mr. Jiang get into the carriage with my own eyes, and then I came back to report it!"

"That……"

Jia Baoyu wanted to ask for details, but suddenly he remembered Jiang Yuhan's current situation, and became depressed for a moment: "But he has been injured like that, so what can he do if he arrives at the Prince's Palace in Beijing?"

"Second Master, don't worry!"

Li Gui hurriedly said: "Who is the King of Beijing? What kind of miracle doctor can't be invited? For example, the Qin envoy of Tai Hospital, the second master has also seen it with his own eyes. I'm afraid he has the means to make people alive and dead, let alone the doctor."

These minor injuries?”

A sensible person would definitely not believe these words, but Jia Baoyu was confused when he arrived, and secondly, he was more willing to believe that Jiang Yuhan could recover as before.

Immediately, I jumped up with excitement and shouted that I was going to visit the Prince's Mansion in Beijing!

It was easy for the attackers to persuade them, and he sat back in the banquet angrily. He suddenly thought of Jiao Shun and asked hurriedly: "Where's Brother Jiao? I was panicked just now. Fortunately, he handled it properly, so Qi Guan didn't do it."

Living on the street, why should I thank Guan Qi!"

When Li Gui reported that Jiao Shunzheng was socializing with Jia Yucun, he shook his head again: "I really don't like seeing that Yucun. I'd better wait for Brother Jiao to come back and then thank him for Qiguan."

When the girls heard this, Lin Daiyu suddenly burst into laughter, covering her mouth and jokingly said: "The third sister has always been very smart, I don't want to slap her mouth just after I said something this time."

Tan Chun felt secretly resentful and tried to defend himself with a forced smile: "I was also thinking about my second brother, so I spoke without hesitation."

Xue Baochai saw that her face seemed a little uneasy, so she hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Isn't this in line with what Sister Lin said before? Brother Jiao is really thoughtful!"

Seeing Li Gui resigning, she hurriedly arranged for the sisters to take their seats, so that Lin Daiyu would not irritate Tanchun again.

Shi Xiangyun kept an eye on it, secretly changed seats with Xichun, approached Tanchun and asked quietly: "Third sister, did Brother Jiao offend you somewhere? Why are you always targeting him today?"

Where I was targeting him, he was the one who targeted me first!

Tanchun gritted his teeth secretly, but smiled on his face: "Look, I just teased him a few words, but you are so willing to come and ask for his guilt? It can be seen that it is indeed a female university who was not chosen!"

"Bah, you are obviously older than me!"

The two of them threw themselves together and started making a fuss. Next to them, Yingchun heard the sisters praising Jiao Shun, but she couldn't help but feel sad.

Another quarter of an hour passed before Jiao Shun arrived belatedly, but behind him were two servant girls carrying burdens.

When he came in and saw everyone looking at each other, he bowed generously and said with a smile: "Brothers and sisters have been waiting for a long time. I thought that just watching the game would be less interesting, so I specially sent someone

I went to the Ministry of Industry to get some lucky money, and now I dare to show my shame after the things have arrived."

As he said this, he motioned to the two servant girls to carry the burdens and showed them one by one in front of the girls.

When the girls saw that there were lifelike puppets and rag dolls in the frame, including wind-up dolls, they were obviously not ordinary dead objects, and they couldn't help but marvel.

Because Jia Baoyu had wandered around the inner workshop of the Ministry of Industry several times, he didn't pay much attention to these things at first. But when he saw a few extremely exquisite lady dolls mixed in, he immediately became interested. He picked it up and looked at it from left to right and couldn't put it down.

Even Jiang Yuhan was forgotten.

Everyone was amused and a little helpless when they saw this. Lin Daiyu asked curiously: "Why is the Ministry of Industry still making these things?"

Jiao Shun smiled and said: "Originally I specially prepared it for your nephews and nieces, but now it's just borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."

Hearing this, all the girls praised him for his thoughtfulness, but Xue Baochai glanced at Xiangyun with some worry, but seeing that she didn't seem to care, he didn't say anything.

Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, tilted her head and teased Xiangyun: "Girl Yun, Brother Qian Jiao treats us all as children."

Before Xiangyun could speak, Jia Baoyu shook his head: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate! If such a good thing is given to a newborn baby, wouldn't it be wasted?"

After saying that, he put two dolls of different shapes under his nose and smelled them carefully. He praised like a crazy person: "They are obviously dead objects, but they are made like living people, but there is still the fragrance of my daughter's home inside!"

Everyone didn't know how to comment on his actions, so they had to pretend they didn't hear anything. Shi Xiangyun even took the initiative to change the topic and said: "No wonder I have never seen many of these things - but since they are for children, how can we be so arrogant?"

Taking love away with a knife?"

"It doesn't matter, I'll just make a new one."

Jiao Shun smiled and said: "They say they are for children, but in fact many of them can be used as cushions and decorations, as long as everyone doesn't dislike them."

Xiangyun picked up a panda doll that was one foot and a half [about fifty centimeters] tall, stroked the smooth and fine fur, and praised: "The materials used in this workmanship are excellent, and what's even more rare is that I can make this iron-eating beast."

It's pity to see that Brother Jiao is really careful. If it were me, I wouldn't even have the heart to use it as a lottery."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Daiyu clapped her hands and said hurriedly: "Okay, let's take care of the house before we even go through the door! No, today we insist on eating a big family like you, don't you think so?!"

Jia Baoyu was the first to agree loudly, holding the lady doll in his hand and refusing to let go.

Xue Baochai and others also joined in the fun and responded.

Jiao Shun explained: "Then let's take this dragon boat as a bet. Each person will choose three boats. Guess the top three first, and so on for the rest..."

Before he could finish his words, Jia Baoyu stood up and bowed repeatedly: "Sisters, please remember to leave these dolls to me. I love them so much. If they don't fall into my hands, I'm afraid they will be dead at night."

Can’t sleep!”

in this way……

He looks like a fat house obsessed with figurines in later generations.
