It was early morning.

In Qiushuangzhai, Jia Tanchun stood in front of the dressing table, bent slightly and took off the collar, and carefully applied the red marks between her neck with powder. In fact, the traces were heavier, but there was no need to worry about being taken.

It's just for people to see it.

I turned my neck in front of the mirror to confirm if there was any omission, and then I heard a knock on the door outside.

Tanchun hurriedly pulled down his collar, took some blush in his hand, and while pretending to compare and considerate, he said loudly: "Come in."

The waiter pushed the door and put the wooden basin in his hand on the shelf. He turned around and saw that his lady still didn't dare to sit down. He couldn't help but blame himself: "It's all my fault. If I followed him alive yesterday, I'll be there again.

I can't let the girl fall down, and I've been slowing down outside for a long time before I come back."

After a pause, he suggested, "Do you want to invite a doctor to take a look?"

"No."

Tanchun quickly refused and said, "I guess I fell to my tail bone. It hurt a little, but it shouldn't be a big deal - if it hurts in two days, I'll find a doctor to see it."

The fall she fell yesterday was not that serious. The reason why she didn't even dare to sit down today was mainly because Jiao Shun was later pressed under her body and did not dare to speak and exhale pain, which caused repeated contusions.

Say...

That woman should be her second sister-in-law, right?

Although both sides were afraid of hitting each other with a scoop, they did not dare to survey each other in the end, when they recalled in the end, the two jokes that just entered the door were obviously Wang Xifeng's tone.

Although I dare not be sure of it, I still have some confidence.

However, Wang Xifeng's performance last night seemed to be different from what Aunt Zhao said before. Being charming would be charming, but she did not mean to be obsessed with it. Instead, she defeated earlier than herself.

She was very suspicious, wondering if it was not the same person twice?

But then I thought about it again that Aunt Zhao always spoke exaggeratedly, especially for those who had evil thoughts - this is evident from the fact that she still insisted on connecting the person in the cave with Mrs. Wang until now.

These are all the details. What Jia Tanchun is most concerned about now is whether his second sister-in-law recognized her last night?

Although they are all having an affair with others, Wang Xifeng will definitely not be able to spread this matter, but Jia Tanchun still doesn't want the fewer people to know about this secret, the better.

Furthermore, if Sister Feng identified the person in the cave and was not the same as the one in the living yard, or even further inferred that Aunt Zhao and herself were on her head, that would be...

Thinking of this possibility, she couldn't help but feel panic.

Fortunately, these three girls are calm whenever they are big, and soon suppressed their panic. Looking at the time, they thought it was time for Wang Xifeng to go to the hut of Qingtang to pay their respects, so she decisively ordered.

: "Don't rush to have breakfast. Let's go to the wife's yard first. I have to report some things to her."

The waiter hesitated and said, "That girl's wound..."

"It's not in the way."

Tanchun walked back and forth for a few steps. Although it was not as refreshing as before, it was still fine to walk seriously.

So after washing up, the master and servant hurried to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

Wang Xifeng is indeed here too.

When I entered the door, I saw her talking loudly, and she seemed to be unaffected by what happened last night.

Um……

Perhaps it is precisely because of the influence last night that I seem so energetic.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang looked a little listless.

The aunt and nephew both were energetic and the other was dead, as if they were reflecting their respective encounters last night.

Seeing Tanchun coming, Wang Xifeng quickly got up and greeted her with a smile: "Why is the third sister here? Sit, sit down!"

Jia Tanchun looked at her and then confirmed that she was 90%. He immediately bowed to Mrs. Wang, then waved his hand and said, "I accidentally stepped on the moss yesterday and fell down. I'd better stand and reply.

.”

"Why are you so careless?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly stood up and said with concern: "Have you consulted with the doctor?"

"It's okay, it's just a little painful, as long as you don't sit down, it won't be a big deal."

Jia Tanchun shrugged a few words, then pretended to be curious and changed the topic: "What did the wife and Sister Feng say just now? I saw Sister Feng dancing..."

“Where is it.”

Wang Xifeng gave her a angrily glance and smiled: "I'm talking to my wife about the Nan'an Palace and the Zhongshun Palace - you probably don't know yet. It's not just that Zhongshun takes the initiative to show kindness, but even the Nan'an King takes the lead in summoning him.

The nobles and relatives of the foreigners are going to donate money to the engineering school.”

Jia Tanchun then suddenly realized that the strange saying that King Zhongshun, who had always been rampant, would take the initiative to surrender to Jiao Shu, but it turned out that it was to part with King Nan'an.

However, even if there is a reason, the two princes can treat Jiao Shun as the object they must win over, which is enough to prove his current card.

pity……

I didn't dare to say a word yesterday, so naturally I couldn't settle the matter of being a member of the casino. I wanted to find a suitable opportunity in the future, but I didn't know when I would delay it.

She was a little worried here, and suddenly she heard from outside that it was Xing Xiuyan coming to see her.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. Although Xing Xiuyan was no more free than an ordinary concubine, she had come to this Grand View Garden more than once, but she basically dealt with the younger generation and never took the initiative to find her.

Mrs. Wang.

Besides, if there is nothing important to do, I wouldn’t have come to visit you.

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng hurriedly ordered someone to invite Xing Xiuyan in, and then stepped forward with great affectionateness to hold her hand and said, "Sister is such a rare guest. We just talked about your uncle, and you arrived by chance.

”

"It was our uncle who asked me to come."

Xing Xiuyan replied with a smile, then gently broke away from Wang Xifeng's hand, saluted Mrs. Wang solemnly, and said, "Our uncle said that the shop sent by the Zhongshun Palace yesterday is not easy to move, so it is better to turn it into the car factory.

Be a fucking stock - If the wife agrees, our uncle will turn around and join Master Bao’s second wife to give a speech.”

Broken the shop into the car factory?

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she felt a cramp in her heart.

Tanchun clapped and praised: "Brother Jiao is so good! This shop is hot and he is afraid that the prince will not be able to get over it. He can only turn it into the car factory for the most safe thing. First, he can express his selflessness to His Majesty; second, he can tell His Majesty that he has no selfishness;

It also gave King Zhongshun and the emperor a common benefit. Not only would it not arouse his disgust, but it would confirm his favor!"

Only then did Mrs. Wang realize it suddenly and think that Jiao Shun is really versatile. If Baoyu can have three of his abilities, she will be grateful to God!

But now I have that relationship with him. In a sense, Baoyu is equivalent to...

At worst, just let him help Baoyu more in the future.

With such thoughts, she agreed and said that she would order Baoyu to follow Jiao Shunma.

In fact, Wang Xifeng can figure out the things that Tanchun analyzed after careful consideration, but understanding is one thing, and whether to give up or not is another thing.

So after seeing Xing Xiuyan off, her emotions became much deeper visible to the naked eye, and there were no previous witty words.

…………

In just one or two days, King Zhongshun and King Nan'an competed to win over Jiao Shun and used the news to show good news to the emperor, which spread like wildfire.

Although the second half is the focus, the focus of the public is often on the first half. Some praise the rising high-ranking nobles in the court, while others envious and jealous and angered villain to be successful.

But no matter what kind of thoughts he was in, Jiao Shun completely stood up after this combination of punches. Not to mention being in the Ministry of Works, few people outside dared to show off their faces that were inferior.

When it was heard that Jiao Shun had handed over the shop sent by Prince Zhongshun's Mansion into the car factory jointly operated with the inner government, even fewer people would dare to secretly plot against him.

Of course, there are still some people who are stupid and unhappy who can't see the situation clearly.

Yongyi Bo Niu Jizong believed that he was smart and could see the situation clearly, but he was not happy at all in the past few days.

Originally, he called on everyone to help with engineering, to blaze a new path for the nobles, and to consolidate his position as the noble leader.

Who would have thought that his cousin, King Nan'an, was no longer able to take over the master halfway?

This is fine. With the character of King Nan'an fishing for three days and two days of drying the net, he may not be able to regroup after a while.

Unexpectedly, early on September 16th, the King of Nan'an came to him again and said that his family would not be willing to take out the money, hoping that Niu Jizong could make a deposit for him first.

At that time, Niu Jizong was so angry.

At the meeting that day, King Nan'an looked rich and arrogant. Anyone who said that the number was about to double, but that was the result?

You have taken all the advantages and I want me to pay for it, but I don’t have any door!

The two of these cousins ​​were arguing, and there was a manager outside who reported that Niu Siyuan, the newly recognized nephew of Niu Jizong, was asking for a meeting outside.

Niu Jizong slapped his forehead when he heard this, and then he remembered that it was already the day to invite Jiao Shun to have a banquet in the mansion.

These days he was so arrogant that he actually left this matter behind his head.

Fortunately, when I called the housekeeper to ask, what should be prepared was already being prepared. Niu Jizong breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to turn his head and see the thoughtful look of King Nan'an pinching his chin.

Got ~

It seems that he still has to win the lead today!

However, the matter is getting bigger and now Niu Jizong is a bit like throwing apart, so he simply doesn't argue with the King of Nan'an. He directly called Niu Siyuan and told him to go to the Ministry of Works to pass the message, tell Jiao Shun in advance,

The King of Nan'an will also be present at the luncheon.

Niu Siyuan should not neglect after taking the errand.

The manager of the Duke of Yangguo Mansion borrowed a car and rushed to the Ministry of Works in a row.

Unfortunately, Jiao Shunzheng and the Inner Mansion, the Ministry of War, and the Dragon Guards Office discussed the first batch of installations of new muskets, so Niu Siyuan could only wait in the side room of the department office.

During this period, Niu Siyuan also saw two work-students of the same period who chose to take the library office. They said that they were more glamorous than working in the factory. In fact, they were just the lowest-level pawns in the Ministry of Works. Don’t say that

If you are a Shangguan, your senior colleagues can transfer them to the orders.

This is a consistent old rule, not specifically for work-students, so even if Jiao Shun knows, he doesn't make any statement about it.

Seeing his classmates being called around like dogs, Niu Siyuan didn't show his face, but his heart was full of arrogance and self-pride.

For these low-level work students, it is already a blessing to be a clerk in the work department, but they are different. After recognizing their ancestors, as long as the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion is slightly raised, they can be punished in a blink of an eye.

The first name Yang Hongqing was stepping on his feet!

He was just proud of himself when he suddenly saw the officials from the Department of Services leading three people from outside. After seeing each other clearly, both sides were stunned.

But it turned out that the three people who were led in were Chen Wansan, Li Qing, who defeated Zhou Long, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and Dong Xun, the leader of the Industrial Union, whom he seemed to follow.

The four of them stared at each other for a while, but after all, Niu Siyuan reacted first, pretending to be fine and bowed and smiled: "Brother Dong, Brother Chen, Brother Li, don't want us to gather here again."

Dong Xun opened his mouth, but he wanted to speak but stopped.

It was only in the past two days that Niu Siyuan, who had been silently supporting him, turned out to be a member of the bull family in Zhenguo.

Although he is not as deep as Niu Siyuan, he is naturally not a fool if he can be publicly elected as the leader of the Industrial Union. After comparing it, he immediately discovered many things that were wrong.

Niu Siyuan's humility at the beginning was more like he deliberately put himself in front of him as a scapegoat in order to escape and leave a way out!

Dong Xun thought that after seeing this former friend, he would come forward to question him angrily, but when he met, he could not raise any courage except embarrassment and alienation - that was the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion after all, listen

He said he would pay and provide funding for engineering. If he really had to make trouble, he was afraid that the teacher would not stand on his side.

"Brother Niu."

At this time, Li Qing also smiled and returned the greeting: "You have hidden us so hard, why should you ask for a meal?"

Niu Siyuan smiled, but did not answer.

He still valued Dong Xun quite a lot, and even recognized Chen Wansan, who was down-to-earth and willing to work hard and gratefully received.

Only Li Qing, who is slick, has always been rude to him.

This was the case before, and it is even more so now.

Li Qing was bored, but he was not angry. He pulled Chen Wansan, who was at a loss, and left the front battlefield to Niu Siyuan and Dong Xun.

Dong Xun was silent for a while, feeling that this would not be a solution. He was hesitating to say something and resolve the awkward atmosphere, and suddenly a minor official came in and said, "Which is Chen Wansan, Dong Xun, Li Qing."

?Sir, please invite me!"

Dong Xun immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was about to go to see Jiao Shun with Chen Wansan and Li Qing.

"etc!"

Niu Siyuan hurriedly called them and frowned at the little official and said, "Do you dare to ask if Lord Jijiu mentioned Niu?"

He paused and added: "Niu came first and has been waiting for a long time."

The little official glanced at him, threw the sentence "Not Ever", and turned around and left without saying a word.

Dong Xun also glanced at him, then followed him quickly.

Li Qing and Chen Wansan also did the same.
