Chapter 606: Really Fainting【Complete】

Chapter 607

As soon as it was dawn, Cuixi came in quietly, took the fire folding piece and relit the dragon, phoenix and red candles on the table.

She turned back and was about to wake up her girl, but she saw the figures in the red tent shaking, and then the gold thread red gauze opened to the left and right. Jiao Shun yawned and turned over to sit up, and put his two thick hairy legs on the feet.

As soon as we met, he asked: "What time is it?"

Seeing that he was naked and naked, Cui Wei didn't dare to look at him. She lowered her head and muttered: "It's almost six o'clock."

Jiao Shun nodded slightly, stood up and stretched his limbs and said: "Go get a basin of water - remember later that after I get close to you girl in the evening, I should come in and help with the aftermath."

Cuixi's face became increasingly red, and the mosquitoes and flies seemed to respond, turning around and escaping.

But as soon as I went out, I turned back, buried my head in my chest and said timidly: "Aunt, aunt... it's time for my wife to get up, otherwise I'm afraid of being laughed at."

Jiao Shun waved his hand: "She was frightened yesterday and worked hard at night. Let her sleep a little longer. It won't be too late to wake her up after I finish washing."

Only then did Cui Wei retreat again.

Not long after, he came in with a basin of warm water and carefully placed it in front of the bed. He dipped a towel in it and lifted it up to Jiao Shun, but he didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun asked for a towel and wiped his butt and butt clean first, then put on his obscene clothes and trousers, and ordered her to change into a towel. Cuixi felt more at ease now, and served her attentively from front to back and from left to right.

Jiao Shun asked casually: "How many maids did you marry, including you?"

"Four."

Cuiwei replied: "There are also four young men, four servants, and two pairs of families - but they are all temporary additions, and even I haven't recognized them yet."

"I said so."

Jiao Shun said: "Tomorrow I will discuss with Mr.

some?"

Siqi is Xing Xiuyan's dowry maid, so naturally she cannot be transferred at will.

In theory, Xiangling, Qingwen, Yuchai and Hongyu all serve Jiao Shun, and it is common practice to assign two of them to Shi Xiangyun.

"Qingwen."

At this time, Shi Xiangyun's lazy and sweet voice came from the red tent, and she said: "I heard before that Sister Qingwen has been in the old lady's house for a long time, and there is some distance between her and Siqi - she and I are on good terms.

We are familiar with each other, if Sister Xing is willing to let go, she might as well... Oops!"

Just as he was talking, Xue Xue suddenly cried out in pain.

Cui Lu thought something was wrong, and was so frightened that she hurriedly opened the curtain to visit, only to see Shi Xiangyun sitting on the bed with his arms around the quilt, stroking the three inches below his navel and frowning. When he met Cui Lu's probing eyes, he suddenly turned red again.

Face, he changed the subject stiffly and said: "Why didn't you call me earlier?"

Cuixi also understood at this time, and the fire clouds that had just faded immediately covered her cheeks again, and Qiqi Ai Ai said: "It's my aunt - it's me who feels sorry for my aunt...I feel sorry for my wife, please don't wake you up in a hurry."

Xiangyun ordered her to get a basin of water quickly.

When she resignedly left, she breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Jiao Shun shyly and coquettishly. She endured the pain and moved her body a few inches. She took out the red tassel-stained plain handkerchief from the quilt and carefully

Folded it and put it into the small box that had been prepared long ago.

Seeing this scene, Jiao Shun was hesitant to speak, but in the end he was too embarrassed to ask for it, and reluctantly gave up the urge to add one to his collection.

After the couple had tidied up, Mrs. Xu sent someone to send a message, saying that they did not need to go to the west courtyard where the couple lived, but to go directly to the east courtyard of Jiao Da [see chapter Easter egg for details].

So the two of them led Cuixi through the two gates and headed towards the east courtyard.

Lai Wang, his wife and Jiao Dazao were waiting in the hall, all dressed very smartly. However, although Lai Wang was also smiling, he could not hide the sadness in his eyes and brows.

Although Jiao Da was just a foster father, this was the Jiao Mansion, and Lai Wang and his wife did not compete with him for this, so he was the first person to offer tea.

Just seeing the daughter of the Hou family kneeling down in front of him respectfully, Jiao Da, who had always been fearless, panicked. He stood up subconsciously and tremblingly said: "I can't do it, I can't do it, get up quickly!"

After moving into this Jiao Mansion, half of the barriers in this old man's heart were gone. He seemed much kinder, but he was also getting older.

When Lai Wang saw this, he stepped forward and sat him back down again, and said with a smile: "What can't be done? Logically speaking, it should be like this."

After Jiao Da sat down, he calmed down again. Then he took the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He put it on the coffee table next to him and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that I, Jiao Da, would end up like this!"

After saying that, he first handed Xiangyun a pair of jade bracelets, and then ordered the maid who was waiting for him to take out a small box. While wiping the tea stains on his beard, he said: "This bracelet was given to me yesterday. It's not worth the money."

——But I, old man, have nothing to give you, and I have nowhere to spend the monthly money I receive these days, so I just borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha."

But it turned out that the box contained five or six hundred taels of broken silver.

Xiang Yun quickly declined, and Jiao Da immediately straightened his face: "This is not for you, but for my grandson - if I can just take a look at my grandson, I will die with no regrets!"

Lai Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "On this special day, why are you saying such unlucky things? With your body and bones, you will definitely be able to see your grandson born with your own eyes."

Next, it was naturally the turn to serve tea to the real parents-in-law.

Mrs. Xu took the tea and drank it in one gulp. While giving Shi Xiangyun the gift she had prepared long ago, she quickly pulled her up and looked at her up and down. She liked it no matter how she looked at it.

Then he pulled Xiangyun and seemed to have endless words to say.

When Lai Wang saw this, he smiled and said, "Brother Shun and I have some things to discuss. Why don't you two go back to the main courtyard to talk first? We'll be there in a while."

Wait until Mrs. Xu takes Shi Xiangyun away.

Lai Wang and Jiao Shun sent Jiao Da inside to rest, and the father and son returned to sit down at the table.

Before Laiwang could speak, Jiao asked in passing: "Dad, do you already know?"

Lai Wang nodded: "I noticed something was wrong yesterday, so I waited for everyone to disperse in the evening, so I went to Shuan Zhu for questioning."

After a pause, he added: "But what he said is unclear. What is going on? You can talk to me about it."

By the way, Jiao told everything about what happened yesterday and his guesses.

After hearing this, Lai Wang couldn't help but become more bitter, and sighed: "How could it be like this? How could it be like this? The emperor is still in his prime, how could he suddenly... If this is really going to happen, what should we do?!"

As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "Then how should we deal with it?"

Jiao Shunsui told him his plan without any concealment - such a big thing as confiscating a house and destroying an entire family would definitely not be entrusted to others, and he would have to rely on his father in the future.

"Hiss~"

After hearing this, Lai Wang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and said several times, "Why is this so?"

No matter how much Jiao Shun integrated into this world, he was a time traveler after all. He always had less respect for the imperial power and the court than others, so when he felt that his life was in danger, he made a desperate move without any psychological barriers.

preparation.

However, Lai Wang was born and raised in a local, and he had been a slave in a wealthy family since he was a child. He respected authority the most. When he heard that his son actually wanted to be a monarch, he naturally found it difficult to accept it calmly.

Jiao Shun saw that his father was so pale and helpless, so he comforted himself and said: "It may not be that bad. My son just wants to be prepared for any trouble - even if we don't do anything when the time comes, it can still be used as a bargaining chip to settle down."

Although he heard what his son said, Lai Wang was not reassured by it. He sighed for a while, and finally sighed helplessly: "We all know that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Since we have inherited this wealth, we will inevitably suffer some karma."

Jiao Shun stood up, poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of anything else. I'm just afraid that you, dad, will be suspicious and think about things, and you will get hurt first. Our family wants to survive this disaster, but we can't.

I hope you will continue to contribute."

"I can save it, I can save it."

Does Lai Wang not know the principle of father and son fighting in battle?

Immediately, he drank the cup of tea, calmed down, stood up and said, "Let's go, don't keep your wife waiting."

With that said, he said hello to the back room and led his son towards the main house in the middle.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into the housekeeper Liu Wu on the way. Seeing him rushing towards the main house in a hurry, Jiao Shun hurriedly called him and asked what the hurry was.

"Go back to the master and the old lady."

Liu Wu trotted over in a hurry, bowed and said, "The Rongguo Mansion sent someone to announce the funeral, saying that their eldest father passed away."

In ancient times, "薨" was a special word used by princes and kings. However, today, it has long been devalued like other honorifics. Only people of third rank and above dare to use "薨".

He and Lai Wang looked at each other, and Jiao Shun asked again: "How did you die?"

"I heard that I was frightened because I was overjoyed and sad yesterday. I couldn't hold on and..."

The father and son couldn't help but look at each other again, feeling a little puzzled. It was Baoyu who was arrested yesterday. Although Sun Shaozu was a little timid when he ran away looking at the door, but Jia She would be overjoyed and sad because of this, but he died.

It's really far-fetched.

After sending Butler Liu away, Lai Wang frowned and said, "How are you going to deal with this matter? Do you want to go over and have a look?"

"I have to go, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be called 'liangbo' again." Jiao Shun replied, "But there's no need to be in a hurry. It's not too late to go after Xiangyun returns to peace."

…………

In a blink of an eye, it was three days later.

Although the Dragon Guards had retreated, Jia She's funeral was still very deserted. Not to mention relatives and friends, not even relatives from the same family came.

This allowed all the guardians in Rongguo Mansion to truly experience what it means to be warm and cold in human relationships.

But he said it was early that morning.

Mrs. You led Yindie to take a shortcut to the Dongkua courtyard. Several servants could be heard whispering on the partition wall, saying that it was because Mrs. Wang was urgently ill that she went to the doctor. She forced the elder to plead with Baoyu.

He couldn't catch his breath, and then he suddenly died.

Youshi listened for a while, then coughed with a straight face. The servants were so frightened that they became silent. They felt a little more at ease when they saw that it was the grandma from Dongfu.

Seeing this, Mr. You became even more unhappy.

Then he found Wang Xifeng, who was in front of the funeral to support him, and told all the gossip he had just heard, and then said: "Even if you have fallen out with the second wife, you can't let such gossip spread. Otherwise...

…”

"Good sister, just relax."

Wang Xifeng, who was dressed in filial piety, interrupted her. Looking at the presence of Ping'er Yindie on the left and right, she lowered her voice and said: "The enemy said he would come after Sister Yun returns to peace. If you count the days, it should be today, right?"

In fact, those messages were released by her and Jia Tanchun.

After all, Mrs. Wang's visit cannot be hidden at all. Instead of letting outsiders speculate wildly, it would be better to release some evasive news.

Hearing her interruption, Youshi rolled her eyes: "How long has it been, and you still think about that enemy?"

"Where is I think!"

Wang Xifeng pointed inside and said jokingly: "Our wife is obviously thinking too hard. Yesterday she secretly asked me if it was not too late to get pregnant again."

You couldn't help but burst into laughter, and hurriedly covered it up with a handkerchief. After suppressing her laughter, she pulled Wang Xifeng and said, "Seriously, when will you give him Ping'er?"

Wang Xifeng turned around and glanced at Ping'er: "Why do you ask?"

"I don't want Yindie to join in the fun."

Youshi whispered: "I heard that the boat in the southeast has docked. The money you invested has at least tripled!"

When Wang Xifeng heard her mention this matter, she could hardly hold back her smile.

Originally, although the ocean trade was hugely profitable, it was not as profitable as this, but firstly, Jiao Shun took the lead in raising good things; secondly, the Consul General personally helped to attract business and raised the prices for these with the help of his official status;

In addition, due to the war between Ukraine and Ukraine, a new round of China fever has set off in the upper echelons of Europe.

The combination of all these factors resulted in Wang Xifeng making a net profit of three times the 50,000 taels invested!

Of course, because of the reputation of the Shi family and the Wang family, some of the profits will have to be shared in the end, but there will always be 178,000 to 80,000 taels of silver including capital and profits.

In addition, after the murder of Jia She, it is a foregone conclusion that Wang Xifeng will return to power.

Fortunately, Baoyu was still imprisoned in the Zhenfu Division, and the uncertain future of the Rongguo Mansion was always weighing on her mind. Otherwise, she would have to laugh out loud when she stayed in front of her father-in-law's body every day.

She barely controlled her expression and gave Youshi a sideways look: "You really are an emperor who is not as anxious as an eunuch. You have to wait until he takes the initiative to bring this up before you can worry about it."

As he said that, he looked at Ping'er and then at Yindie, then shook his head and pretended to sigh: "I'm afraid that the newlywed Yan'er will not miss Shu so much that she will forget these promises a long time ago."

Yindie was obviously frightened, and her face tightened subconsciously.

Ping'er just smiled faintly.

Before Wang Xifeng could tease her a little more, she saw Qin Xian's wife, Mrs. Yang, running over to report that Uncle Jiao had come to pay homage.

Wang Xifeng and Youshi heard this and said in unison: "Please come quickly!"

Yang said: "Originally, I wanted to invite him in directly, but he was intercepted by the third girl on the way."

Wang Xifeng and Youshi looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "It turns out there is something more urgent."

The side hall of the east cross courtyard.

Tanchun invited Jiao Shun into the side hall and asked Jiao Shun how to deal with it without hesitation.

This was not done yet, so Jiao Shun naturally refused to reveal his true feelings to her, so he made a few half-truths and half-false remarks.

Tan Chun didn't bother, he looked at Jiao Shun steadily for a long time, and said word by word: "A man can't live with five pots of food, and he will be cooked with five pots of food when he dies - I believe that Brother Jiao is not a person who just waits for death!"
