Qingtang thatched cottage.

Caixia was absentmindedly destroying a few daisies when she suddenly heard the little maid greeting her at the door. When she looked up, she realized that the second mistress had arrived.

Just as she was about to stand up and greet him with a smile, she saw Jiao Shun following closely behind her. The smile on her face froze, and even her movement to stand up was slowed down by half a beat.

It wasn't until Wang Xifeng and Jiao Shun reached the center of the courtyard that Caixia regained her composure and went forward to greet them. While bowing to the two of them, she couldn't help but look at Jiao Shun furtively.

Jiao Shun had been thinking about Mrs. Wang all the way. Now when he saw Caixia, he remembered that there was another hidden danger that had not been eliminated.

While he was pretending to be an upright gentleman, he looked around with the corner of his eye. When he saw that there was no third person present except the little maid and Caixia who were leading the way, he secretly made a gesture to Caixia with his hands raised.

He made a pressing gesture, then first raised three fingers, and then bent two of them.

Ever since Caixia dedicated her life, she had been fully expecting Jiao Shun to do something, but in the end, there was no movement at all in the past two or three days, and it was obvious that she was feeling depressed.

Seeing Jiao Shun come to Qingtang Cottage this time, her first thought was to find an opportunity to continue begging Uncle Jiao to avenge her.

As a result, he took a peek and saw several hand gestures that Jiao Shun was making to himself.

You can still understand it by raising your hand to press Caixia. It should be to calm yourself down a little bit.

But what do the last two gestures mean?

She thought about it but couldn't figure it out. She originally wanted to follow up and wait for the opportunity to take action, but she couldn't figure out what Jiao Shun was hinting at, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

Little did she know that the last two gestures had no actual meaning. To put it bluntly, he was worried that she would not listen to advice, so Jiao Shuncai made two random gestures to make her suspicious of this person. Whenever he hesitated in his heart, he would

He won't make any risky moves.

Not to mention how Caixia was puzzled outside.

But after Jiao Shun followed Wang Xifeng through the door, he saw Mrs. Wang getting up from the Arhat bed and saying with a smile: "Chang Qing is here, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."

Jiao Shun had already guessed that she would pretend to be nonchalant, so it wasn't too surprising.

On the contrary, Wang Xifeng was slightly startled.

As mentioned in the previous article, since Mrs. Wang had a falling out with Jia Zheng and moved into this hut in Qingtang, not only had her appearance become much smaller, but her temperament had also gradually turned colder.

But today...

Look at her dignified and kind demeanor, which makes people feel like spring breeze. She seems to have returned to the "living Bodhisattva" praised by everyone in the house.

But didn’t my wife just have a quarrel with the master yesterday?

Logically speaking, you are in your worst mood, but why do you seem to have regained your strength?

Wang Xifeng was suspicious and couldn't help but inquire: "I wasn't careful just now, but now I see that my wife's complexion is much stronger than before. Could it be that something good happened to her?"

"Is it?"

Mrs. Wang raised her orchid finger, raised her hand and touched her face gently, shook her head and said with a smile: "If it is not a bad day every day, it is considered a good thing, but what kind of happy event is there? If I really want to talk about a happy event, it is your birthday today.

Maybe I’m asking for your blessing."

"That's a good feeling!"

Although Wang Xifeng felt that something was fishy, ​​Mrs. Wang's declaration made it difficult for her to continue to ask the truth, so Shunpo'er said: "Mrs., please accompany us for a few drinks tonight, so that we can fill up the cup of happiness and longevity!"

"You girl."

Mrs. Wang raised her finger and pointed at Wang Xifeng, then turned to Jiao Shun with a very natural attitude and said: "It makes Chang Qing laugh that this Feng girl is here. She doesn't say a few witty words first, and then stops people from talking about serious matters.

."

Along the way, Jiao Shun had also been curious about what serious business Mrs. Wang had going on when she was eating young grass without telling her, and now she came here specifically to find him.

Wang Xifeng insists on showing off, saying that if there is any advantage to be taken advantage of, she must not be polite.

Now that Mrs. Wang mentioned this, she immediately stood up and cupped her hands and said, "But I don't know what the madam has to do. Could it be something related to the car factory?"

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly raised her hand to press down, her attitude was close and reserved: "Since the affairs of the car factory are in your hands, what can I have to worry about? I came to you this time for other matters."

With that said, he told the whole story about the warning issued by the town government.

When he first heard her talk, Jiao Shun couldn't help but feel a little dazed, thinking that the dignified woman in front of him was really the Pile Driver from the Jade Emperor Temple?

It's only been less than half an hour, and it's a shame she can pretend like nothing's wrong!

It's silky smooth and watertight, it's really a seasoned drama!

For a moment, Jiao Shun had some doubts about whether Mrs. Wang had experienced many battles and he was just one of her victims.

But recalling it carefully, she was obviously very unfamiliar when she first transferred to the knight class...

Later, when he heard that Prince Zhongshun's Palace was involved, Jiao Shun refocused his attention and quickly solved a mystery in his mind. The chief historian of Prince Zhongshun's Palace came to him probably because of the tire business.

wrong!

Jiao Shun suddenly thought of something and took the initiative to ask: "May I ask, madam, when did this happen?"

"On the day Grandma Liu left."

Jiao Shun suddenly understood. Taking advantage of Mrs. Wang's thirsty throat, he gave Wang Xifeng a hard look.

No need to ask, this Feng Lazi must have deliberately chosen to expose this matter after the birthday banquet because of the headgear!

Wang Xifeng guiltily avoided Jiao Shun's gaze, thinking that she seemed to have gone too far this time.

or……

Just give this thief a little sweetness?

Ping'er already had her hair added last time, so why not go with her sister-in-law this time...

Thinking that she had to work with Li Wan, Wang Xifeng felt extremely aggrieved. The guilt she felt just now disappeared immediately, so she glared back.

It was a good thing that Jiao Shun couldn't hear her voice, otherwise his legs would be weak from fear.

Just after dealing with the pile driver, here comes the juicer...

Even an iron-clad waist can't stand such a hard time!

Not to mention this.

But Jiao Shun was silent for a moment, thinking: "Since the matter involves Prince Zhongshun, it is a big matter, so I'm afraid we need to consider it in the long term."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xifeng said unhappily: "Taking a long-term view? How can we still allow us to consider a long-term plan now? Or is it that your wings have become stiff and you have learned to look forward and backward? It's no good and you can't afford it anymore?!"

These words, "Don't start early without profit," combined with her repeated warnings on the way, were almost clearly encouraging Jiao Shunshi to open his mouth.

Jiao Shun could roughly figure out Wang Xifeng's thoughts, which was nothing more than using his own hands to harm the public and enrich himself.

If it were left in the morning, he wouldn't mind joining forces with Wang Xifeng and Yingwai to trick the Rongguo Mansion.

but now……

How could Jiao Shun dare to deliberately provoke Mrs. Wang before he understood her thoughts?

Then he smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is really looking down on me. To be honest, I have already ruined the face of Prince Zhongshun's chief historian two days ago. If I am worried about Prince Zhongshun, how can I dare to act like this?"

"Historian, the governor of Rongguo?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked: "But the one named Zhou?"

When Jia Baoyu was beaten half to death, she could not let go so easily. She hated Jia Zheng for being ruthless and ruthless, and hated Prince Palace Chief Shi for being aggressive. But these days, I had no reason to beat my son, and she couldn't afford to offend Zhongshun Prince.

Therefore, I have been feeling depressed in my heart.

Jiao Shun saw that she was interested in this, so he recounted what happened in Yuewei Pavilion that day in a more embellished manner, except that he hid in Jiayu Village and said that he was invited by an acquaintance.

After all, Jia Yucun was forced to have no choice that day, and he even sang a double act with him. Besides, Jia Yucun had been promoted to Shuntian Prefecture Yin. He would inevitably have some use for him in the future, and there was no need to enmity with him.

When Mrs. Wang heard that Jiao Shun was so tough in front of the palace chief, she was relieved. The panic and uneasiness that she had tried so hard to cover up actually subsided a little unconsciously.

Compared with Jia Zheng who did not dare to offend King Zhongshun and would only take out his anger on his own son, what Jiao Shun did was obviously much more "BA" angry!

Of course, this comparison itself is unfair.

Jia Zheng beat Baoyu at that time, of course, with the intention of expressing his anger, but more importantly, he was angry at Baoyu for not fighting, and hated him for being in cahoots with the palace's actors.

However, Mrs. Wang was used to doting on her son, and she had long forgotten all her son's mistakes. She only remembered that Jia Zheng did not dare to offend the palace chief, and almost beat his son to death with a stick.

"That's it."

She stared at Jiao Shun with soft eyes and said: "Then everything depends on Chang Qing. If you need the government's cooperation, you just have to tell Girl Feng."

Jiao Shun naturally agreed.

Then he said goodbye and left with Wang Xifeng at the right time.

When she left the Qingtang hut, Wang Xifeng's face fell. After walking a hundred steps away, she saw that only Ping'er was left with her. She immediately pulled Jiao Shun and complained: "What happened to you just now? You went against Prince Zhongshun's palace.

She actually agreed to such a big thing for nothing?!"

Jiao Shun glanced at her sideways and said with a cold face: "Then why didn't you tell me about this in advance?"

"this……"

Wang Xifeng suddenly became short of breath and hurriedly said, "I'll tell you more about it in the evening!"

After saying that, he seemed to be running away.

night……

Jiao Shun smacked his lips helplessly. He really couldn't get excited at the moment. Fortunately, Wang Xifeng was addicted to food. A few casual meals in the evening became the key to small punishments and big warnings, so that she would not dare to lie to herself in the future.

!

…………

This evening.

The lanterns are lit in the Forbidden City.

Concubine Rong, wearing a dark blue double-breasted mandarin jacket and snow-white slim-fitting breeches, appeared outside the gate of Qianqing Palace while riding a bicycle heroically.

Although her outfit is actually more tightly wrapped than many imitation Tang palace costumes, these days even men with status rarely wear trousers, let alone women?

Moreover, these trousers have been specially tailored to perfectly outline the two long legs that are too fat and thin.

Especially when Concubine Rong kicks hard!

So much so that when she rode all the way, all the eunuchs and maids she met were dumbfounded.

Concubine Rong herself was actually blushing with embarrassment, but she was one step behind the Queen and Concubine De when it came to bicycles. Now that His Majesty was interested in introducing breeches, she naturally wanted to be the first to do so.

For this reason, what if someone makes a few jokes?

In this Forbidden City, being favored by His Majesty is the most honorable thing!

But it was said that Concubine Rong got out of the car in front of Qianqing Palace. When the maids behind her caught up with them, panting like cattle, she stuffed a few golden beans in her mouth and signaled with her eyes to the little eunuch guarding the palace gate not far away.

As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, this little eunuch on duty in the Qianqing Palace is naturally not comparable to anywhere else.

The leading maid came to the palace gate understandingly, but as soon as she said a few words with a smile, the smile on her face froze, and she turned back to Concubine Rong and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?"

Concubine Rong asked suspiciously: "Are they too few?"

"no……"

The palace maid Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "The eunuch guarding the door told the wet nurse not to wait any longer. Your Majesty rested early today and rode out a quarter of an hour ago. It seems that he has gone, gone..."

"Where?"

"Where have you gone to Concubine De?"

Bang~

As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maid felt a dark shadow flash in front of her, and something was placed on her bun.

She subconsciously raised her head to touch it, but took off a button from her hair.

Looking at Concubine Rong's body again, the mandarin jacket has been opened upside down, unable to cover the surging movement.

At the same time, Concubine De's bedroom.

Emperor Longyuan was showing a secret document to Yuan Chun for review, and said with a smile: "It's a shame that a group of girls from your family can fight against those rotten scholars!"

No need to ask, this is naturally Jiao Shun's report.

As for the content, in addition to the usual reports on engineering and the progress of the depot, it also adds what Xue Biao did at Dali Temple and Shuntian Mansion yesterday.

Jia Yuanchun originally adhered to the rule that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics and was unwilling to read the secret document, but when he heard that it was related to his sisters and brothers in the family, he didn't care much anymore.

After looking at it carefully from beginning to end, she didn't know whether she should be happy or worried.

According to her understanding of the emperor, Emperor Longyuan was probably happy to see this happen, and even wished that Jiao Shun could take the opportunity to suppress the arrogance of those corrupt scholars.

But is it really appropriate for a few women who have not yet left the government to get involved in such a thing?

Jia Yuanchun always felt that something was wrong, but deep down in his heart he couldn't help but be envious. There were so few men in this world who were willing to show off their talents to women, and it was a good thing that they could meet one!

She couldn't help but read the "Essays" in the appendix from the beginning, and then reluctantly handed back the memorial. She knelt down and said: "My brother and sister are so naughty that they dare to participate in such a thing..."

"Boring, boring!"

Emperor Longyuan flicked his sleeves to interrupt her apology, and said angrily: "I didn't come here to listen to what you said. I think you were not so lifeless when we were in the East Palace!"

As he said this, he couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his forehead with a look of pain on his face.

"emperor?!"

Jia Yuanchun was startled, and hurriedly stood up to help him, and then said: "I heard that you saw the imperial doctor two days ago. Could it be that he has a dragon body..."

"No problem."

Emperor Longyuan gently pushed her away, puffed out his chest and said, "I'm just overworking myself. I'll just take care of her for a few days. You don't need to worry about it..."
