Chapter 522 Jiao Changqing's first stay at the Grand View Garden [Part 2](1/2)
Lotus Champagne.
As soon as Jia Zheng sat down at the table, Mrs. Wang sent Caixia, saying that she wanted to invite Jiao Shun to visit the Qingtang thatched cottage before sitting down at the table.
Jia Zheng's face suddenly darkened when he heard this. He initially suspected that his wife was having an affair with Jiao Shun. Although most of it was an excuse to alienate Mrs. Wang, he still had two or three suspicions.
Now Mrs. Wang doesn't shy away from coming to 'cut off' Hu, she is clearly deliberately trying to get angry with herself!
He immediately asked with a straight face: "It's so late at night, why did my wife want him to come over? What kind of etiquette is this?!"
Seeing Jia Zheng's harsh words, Caixia didn't panic at all.
On the contrary, I thought of Jia Zheng's arrogant clown behavior and Jiao Shun's secret submission to Aunt Zhao - especially the scene when Aunt Zhao was teased by Jiao Shun and talked about Jia Zheng's "shortcomings" and "weaknesses" , I couldn’t help but want to laugh.
So she hurriedly lowered her head and neck, pretending to be frightened and replied: "Replying to the master, it was the second wife of the Xue family who had an impromptu idea to thank Uncle Jiao in person for his kindness to the Xue family, so Mrs. Caiyang invited him to come over - the second wife Grandma and my concubine are also over there now."
I heard that it was the intention of the second wife of the Xue family, and that Wang Xifeng and Aunt Xue were also present. Jia Zheng's face turned a little brighter, but he still said pickyly: "Mrs. ?”
"Didn't I say that I was going to move out in two days? I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make it, so..."
Jia Zheng stopped asking further questions and waved his hand outside and said, "You can go and wait outside. Whether you go or not is up to Chang Qing."
Caixia then bowed and exited the Champs Elysees, and stood on the trestle waiting for Jiao Shun to arrive. However, before she could see the real owner, she bumped into Shu Shu and Zicuckoo who were walking together.
When the servant saw her standing alone at the entrance of the trestle, he couldn't help but wonder: "What is sister doing here alone?"
The purple cuckoo next to her also looked curious.
Since it was not a private matter, Caixia naturally would not hide it from them, and immediately told the cause and effect of the matter. Lian Jia Zheng was angry at Jiao Shun at first, but later found out that he had made a mistake and hurriedly invited Jiao Shun to a banquet. , and also revealed it to the two of them in a subtle way.
Although they were locked up in this garden all day long, they still knew the name of King Zhongshun, and they were both amazed at the moment. It was hard to believe that Jiao Shun, who was similar to themselves and others three or four years ago, could actually do it. The prince was deterred!
After bidding farewell to Caixia and returning home, Shao Shao inevitably told the matter to his young lady.
Tanchun will not be mentioned for the time being.
But in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baoqin were discussing poetry and poetry under the moonlight in front of the bamboo. After listening to Zicuckoo's story, she stepped back and teased Baoqin: "Why, you haven't made your wolfish ambition clear to your family? As the saying goes, the Taoist family We don’t speak the same language, but it seems quite strange for my aunt to thank me so much.”
"elder sister!"
Baoqin hugged Daiyu's arm reluctantly, put his head on her shoulder, laughed for a while, then sat upright again and said: "Sister, your body is a bit thin, so you have to eat hard in the future." That’s it.”
"This is much better than before."
Lin Daiyu replied nonchalantly, and then asked: "What exactly do you think, and when are you going to show off with your family?"
"This...it's not urgent yet."
"Not in a hurry?"
Lin Daiyu pretended to be surprised and looked her up and down, and said in wonder: "You are so anxious, when did you turn into a shy and charming young lady again?"
"elder sister!"
Bao Qin puffed up her little face and stamped her foot heavily, and then said seriously: "It was just a joke before, but I was just preparing to leave it as a thought, and I never had any delusions about staying together forever - now if I keep hiding it from Sister Xiangyun, I will
Who have you become? We have to wait until Sister Xiangyun gets married and things are clear."
Hearing what she said was reasonable, Lin Daiyu also raised her hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, is it because I have become a villain?"
With that said, he put the brush into Baoqin's hand and urged: "Please give me a masterpiece, so that I, a little girl, can open her eyes and gain knowledge."
…………
Not to mention how her two sisters laughed and joked.
But when Jiao Shun changed his clothes and hurried to the Champs Elysees, he saw Caixia waiting eagerly on the trestle. He immediately guessed 90% of the time, and when he asked, it was indeed Mrs. Wang who invited them.
At that moment, I couldn't help but cry secretly.
How come these two aunts and nephews are together again?
Wang Xifeng's side is fine with it, after all, she already knew that she was flirting with others in Rongguo Mansion; but Mrs. Wang's side didn't know it yet, and if she knew it, and told Aunt Xue these things, then she would
Wouldn’t all the hard work be in vain?
But when the matter comes to a head, no matter how worried you are, it is useless, you can only resort to taking advantage of the situation.
Fortunately, the parties involved were not just her aunt and nephew, but also Aunt Xue and the second wife of the Xue family. When the time came, they would not dare to make it too clear, and they would just pretend that they did not understand.
After making up his mind, Jiao told Caixia to wait here, went inside to accuse Jia Zheng, and then followed Caixia to the Qingtang thatched cottage.
Jia Zheng personally sent him out of the door, looking at the two figures gradually disappearing in the night, stroking his beard and wondering - Jiao Shun was not the least bit annoyed inside just now, and his attitude was actually a bit more respectful.
Didn't Zhou Changshi tell him what he said?
Now, wouldn’t it be that I don’t have three hundred taels of silver here?
Jia Zheng secretly regretted it, while Jiao Shun also hurried to Qingtang thatched cottage.
As soon as he entered the door, four women's eight eyes all fell on him. Even though Jiao Shun, a man who had been through a lot of storms, his heart beat a few beats faster for a moment, but he didn't show any signs of being generous on the surface.
Fang cupped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "I wonder how many aunts have been summoned, but what errands do they have?"
"you……"
"Neither..."
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time.
Next to her, Wang Xifeng was also eager to give it a try, but she was worried that she would be exposed in front of several elders, so she could only suppress her physical and mental impulses.
On the contrary, the second wife of the Xue family took the initiative to take over the conversation and explained the reason. She also thanked Jiao Shun for taking care of her son and daughter these days.
Because they had their own agendas and were spying on each other, until Jiao Shun left, neither Mrs. Wang nor Wang Xifeng's aunt and nephew could find a chance to have a secret affair with Jiao Shun.
As for Aunt Xue, although she regretted not being able to have a few personal words with Jiao Shun, she had never tasted the essence, so she was not as depressed as her sister and niece.
In this way, the four of them had a tasteless dinner.
Wang Xifeng and the second wife of the Xue family said their goodbyes and left, and Aunt Xue also went back to her room to rest.
Mrs. Wang was the only one left alone. She retreated and returned to the house. She originally wanted to chant sutras and meditate in front of the Buddhist altar, but her mind was filled with distracting thoughts, galloping like wild horses.
In the end, I couldn't read anymore and instead stared at the chime hammer in my hand in a daze...
And the other side.
Wang Xifeng left Qingtang thatched cottage, but was unwilling to give up, so she went to Daoxiang Village and asked Li Wan to help her keep an eye on Ouxiang Pavilion.
"You let Suyun stay outside. If you see someone escorting him out, you will say that it is dark and quiet at night and the roads are slippery. It is better to let him stay in the garden for one night."
Seeing her anxious look, Li Wan deliberately asked with a straight face: "What if he comes out alone?"
"Then let him pretend to be drunk, and then ask someone to take him to a separate guest courtyard!"
Wang Xifeng gritted her silver teeth and said without any doubt: "I don't care about anything else. Anyway, you must find a way to keep him here today!"
Li Wan couldn't help but burst into laughter, covering his mouth and jokingly said: "Then what good can I gain by putting in so much effort?"
"Bah~"
Wang Xifeng immediately spat in her face and said angrily: "How often do you eat alone food? Are you trying to steal my food again today?!"
"Okay, okay, don't grab it, don't grab it."
Seeing her exploding like a firecracker, Li Wan knew in his heart that she was holding it back too much. Thinking of his behavior when he first hooked up with Jiao Shun and became an adulterer, he didn't find it strange, but couldn't help but joked: "He needs to
It’s not that silver pewter spear tip, I’m afraid you’ll be full on it alone.”
"Even if I chew it till it's chewed up, I won't give it to you!"
The two chatted for a while, and then Li Wan assigned the errand boy to Su Yun in front of Wang Xifeng.
Suyun took the errand and found the Lotus Root Champs. She did not dare to imitate Caixia and block the entrance of the trestle. Instead, she hid her figure from a distance and peered inside.
But because Jia Zheng suspected that Zhou Changshi had not revealed the truth, he refrained from mentioning it when Jiao Shun came back for the banquet. Jiao Shun was happy to pretend not to know, and the two of them were enjoying themselves for a while.
Especially when Jia Zheng saw that Jiao Shun was still very respectful in his etiquette, without any arrogance of a villain. Thinking about how he had recently taken over the Ministry of Etiquette, and then frightened King Zhongshun to defect, Jia Zheng felt a little elated unconsciously.
As if he was also involved in those things.
This time, I had no choice but to pull Jiao Shun to change cups, and he drank until he was so drunk that he refused to give up.
Jiao Shun had no choice but to pretend that he was drunk as much as he was drunk, and he was able to escape.
As a result, as soon as the boy beside Jia Zheng helped him out of the Lotus Champs Pavilion, Su Yun jumped out.
"ah?"
Suyun covered her mouth with her hand, pretending to be surprised and said: "Why are you drinking like this? What's wrong with the master in there?"
The boy hurriedly said: "The master is more powerful than this. When we came out, he was holding on to the railing to vomit."
Suyun immediately climbed up the pole and said: "Grandma is afraid of this, so she asked me to come over and have a look - why don't you send them outside? It's dark and the road is slippery today. What will happen if you fall again? Why don't you help the guests?
We’ll put them in the courtyard for the time being.”
The two boys looked at each other and felt that Jiao Shun's majestic body was getting heavier, so they followed suit and said, "Sister, we don't live in this garden on weekdays, but we don't know where the guest house is?"
"I'll just take you there."
While Suyun was doing everything, he said, "But the two guest rooms are a little far apart. Do you think we should send Uncle Jiao off first, or..."
Just as he was talking, three women patrolling with lanterns happened to appear from diagonally below. Seeing this, Suyun was overjoyed and said, "Yes! Sister-in-law of the Qin family, sister-in-law of the Qin family, could you please send Uncle Jiao to the guest house?
