A blessing in disguise

[I made a mistake in the previous chapter, it should be .]

In fact, Xiren was just in a daze for a moment and cared too much about Baoyu. When he looked back, he realized that he had thought too much. Qingwen had become Uncle Jiao's wife this morning, so how could she quietly return to Baoer?

Come to me?

Besides, now that Second Master Bao is no longer the business he once was, even if the Jiao family is willing to let him go and Second Mistress dares to ask for it, Qingwen herself may not be willing to agree to it - anyway, if she changes places, she will be so beautiful.

It is absolutely impossible to turn back this grass.

After thinking about this, Xiren felt relieved immediately. He gave Qingwen a friendly nod and then went to talk to the third girl.

When she told her all her thoughts, Tanchun was in a state of tears and laughter.

Looking for Brother Jiao to be the matchmaker to help Brother Bao win back Sister Bao?

Isn't this the same as sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?

It’s really a shame that Xiren can think of it!

Let Tanchun say it himself, if Baoyu wants to win back Baochai, in addition to making efforts internally, he must also be careful to guard against outside thieves taking advantage of the situation - don't you see, the back house of Rongguo Mansion has almost become the private residence of someone Jiao.

garden?!

But it was hard for Tanchun to say this clearly, let alone to say it openly. Otherwise, if Xiren or Baoyu couldn't keep his mouth shut, and spread these words to Jiao Shun's ears, she would be asking for trouble.

Moreover, the second brother brought this upon himself. With all the things he did, who would be unhappy if he did it?

The only thing Tanchun could do was to politely reject Xiren and vaguely remind her that you need to be strong yourself to make iron, so why ask for help from outside forces.

This was the last trace of goodwill on her part to protect her own safety, but it aroused the misunderstanding that the third girl was unwilling to involve her future husband-after all, Baoyu had done so many capricious things, so she was not willing to let him be his wife.

The risk of being a guarantor is really quite high.

But you can’t just give up, right?

Thinking of this, Xi Ren subconsciously looked towards the living room. Now Mr. Bao is acting like a good boy in front of his wife. If it works, that's fine. If it doesn't...

To be honest, the path she pointed out to Baoyu was right on target. Aunt Xue had always been soft-hearted and doted on her children and nephews. If it hadn't been for Baoyu going too far this time, she would never have been able to withstand Baoyu's attack.

Please and behave well.

Especially because Mrs. Wang was nearby, Baochai, the daughter-in-law, could not easily refute her, so Baoyu used her extravagant skills to act like a slave.

However, seeing that Aunt Xue seemed to be shaken and Mrs. Wang was secretly rejoicing, Mrs. Xu, who had been watching with a cold eye, suddenly spoke: "What I said sounded good to me, but what I did was really chilling. Now I am talking empty words without any basis."

, but how can I let Bao Yatou trust you?"

"this……"

Baoyu was speechless for a moment, and suddenly pulled out the psychic gem from his neck, held it in his hand and gritted his teeth: "If I break my oath, it will be like this..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Wang snatched it away with quick hands and eyes, and said angrily: "You will swear an oath, why bother to throw away this lifeblood?!"

Mrs. Xu also said hurriedly: "I don't have to ask my brother to swear and swear as proof. You have to follow my instructions. From next month, you will go back to the Yamen as an errand and serve the public seriously and down-to-earth. You will never touch those principles again."

Zen Machine, if you can really do it, it won’t be too late to find Bao Yatou to restore old friendships.”

Mrs. Wang was originally unhappy when she saw this cheap mother-in-law jumping out to interrupt her, but she didn't dare to stop him because of Jiao Shun's kindness. Now that she heard that she was trying to persuade Baoyu to make progress and stay away from those principles, she nodded repeatedly and said, "That's very good."

That’s right! I think this method couldn’t be better!”

With that said, he turned to Baochai, who was silent at the side: "Baochai, what do you think of this idea?"

It was hard for Baochai to refute Xu's reputation, especially since this idea could really test whether Baoyu truly repented.

So Baochai hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "As long as you are not as careless as before, then it will be great - but you must be serious about serving your duties. If you go to the Yamen corpse place to have a vegetarian meal and pretend to be pretentious, it is better not to go.

."

Seeing that although she was unwilling to say anything, she was showing signs of relenting, Mrs. Wang was overjoyed and hurriedly urged Baoyu to agree.

When Baoyu heard that he was asked to go to the Yamen to serve his duties seriously, his face felt like a bitter gourd for a moment. It is known that he is the most impatient of economic career. He was unwilling to fish in engineering before, but now he is even more serious.

The word '', isn't it equivalent to taking his life?

But speaking of rejection, things have finally turned around now. If I refuse again, I'm afraid there will be no chance of reconciliation with Sister Bao.

He was filled with embarrassment, and when he subconsciously raised his hand to scratch his head, his eyes suddenly lit up, he took off his huge hat and pointed at the top of his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to go, but I have to wait for my hair to grow better, and then..."

"You kid!"

Mrs. Wang stamped her feet angrily when she saw this, but this reason was not untenable. Seeing the ugly appearance of her son with diarrhea, she felt that it would be better to push him back.

But here, baby girl...

At this time, Baochai replied calmly: "As long as you are determined, it won't be too late to go again next spring."

To be honest, Baochai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Baoyu's push and pull. After all, she went to the Yamen to put on a show in a short time. She believed that Baoyu could still do it, and with his hot temperament for three minutes, the more he delayed, the more he pushed back.

The more impossible it is to do.

Baoyu chatted with her for a while, and seeing Aunt Xue's originally relaxed attitude, she seemed to have become colder again. Knowing that it was the result of her deliberate delay, she hurriedly found an excuse to retreat.

"Second Master!"

As soon as he arrived at the door, Xiren hurriedly came up to him and asked, "How are you doing? Have you ever touched my concubine?!"

Baoyu shook his head at first, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

The attacker looked confused, and before questioning, the fourth girl, Xichun, suddenly chased out from behind, and greeted with a smile: "Brother Bao, your jade."

Baoyu then remembered that he had left the jade with Mrs. Wang, and quickly thanked him, took it, and put it back around his neck.

During this period, Jia Xichun had been looking at the top of his head with a keen eye. He looked at the precious jade and subconsciously covered his hat and said, "Fourth sister, what are you looking at?"

Jia Xichun smiled calmly and said firmly: "One day, my little sister will also imitate her brother's feat today!"

Baoyu smiled bitterly when he heard this. To be honest, after these two days of turmoil, his desire to become a monk has almost disappeared - of course, this is only temporary. As time goes by, if he keeps licking Baochai, he will not be able to

, I will probably be disgusted with the suffering of the world of mortals.

Therefore, it was rare for him to seriously advise: "There is nothing wrong with my sister worshiping and worshiping the Buddha, but after all, I have just gotten into a big disaster, so my sister needs to be careful to avoid getting into trouble and burning herself."

Although Xichun nodded, it seemed that he didn't listen.

Baoyu didn't say anything when he saw this, and turned to Xiren to talk about the scene just now.

Xiren was happy, angry and worried after hearing this. He was happy that the second master was finally making progress again, but he was angry because he had a good opportunity, but he failed to achieve the full result because the second master pushed and blocked him.

As for the worry, it is because of the temperament of the second master, I am afraid that he may not be able to calm down and serve the government seriously in the future.

Thinking of this, a sudden movement occurred in her heart, and she hurriedly said: "Since the second master is going to serve in the Yamen, he should tell Uncle Jiao earlier, or ask him to give more advice - after all, when he goes back, he can't just

Named."

Baoyu thought the same thing, so he prepared to go back to Rongxi Hall to see Jiao Shun.

The attacker grabbed him and asked Xichun: "Fourth girl, could you please go in and tell me that our second master has gone to see Uncle Jiao to ask about the affairs in the yamen."

Xichun nodded in agreement, and after watching the master and servant go away, she secretly thought to herself that handing the knife to her second brother this time was indeed effective, but it was a pity that she could not completely cut off the thread of trouble. If there is a chance next time, she will have to push it again.

He is the one.

It turns out that the sword hidden in the scriptures is not Miaoyu, but Xichun.

The reason why she used Miaoyu's name was mainly because she was worried about her lack of weight, but she had no intention of using Miaoyu as a shield - of course, even if she didn't have this intention, Miaoyu still took the blame.

Now that the results are quite good, Xichun naturally wants to keep up the good work.

From a real point of view, she did not want Baoyu to learn anything about official career economics, let alone help Xiren pass the news, but she was worried that Xiren would have to give a confession to Mrs. Wang later.

The four girls thought for a moment and simply used the trick of procrastination. It was not until Mrs. Wang was alone that they told Mrs. Wang what Xi Ren had said. Xi Ren wanted to tell her inside because she wanted to keep the Xue family's mother and daughter safe.

She tried to make up for it in front of her, but Xichun refused to let her have it!

…………

But when Jia Baoyu arrived near the Rongxi Hall, he was a little hesitant, but then he thought that he was here for business, and even his father would not blame him.

So he plucked up the courage to go into the hall and told him that he was determined to go to the Yamen in the spring of next year to serve as official.

I don't want Jia Zheng to sneer again and again after hearing this, and sneered: "If you mention the word 'Feng Gong' again, even I will be embarrassed to death. Standing here will dirty my place, and my door will be dirty. If you come to the public house

The Yamen has also been defiled by you, wouldn’t I become a sinner through the ages?!”

These words made Baoyu blush and feel ashamed.

"Uncle Shi said something serious."

Jiao Shun helped smooth things over, and then pretended to be curious and asked: "Brother Bao, why did you suddenly think of going back to the Yamen to serve? I have invited you three times before, but you have always been indifferent."

"this……"

Baoyu looked at Jia Zheng and hesitated to speak.

"What a sin, you still don't tell the truth!"

Jia Zheng glared and scolded him. He shrank his neck in fear and had no choice but to tell everything about what had just happened.

Jia Zhengfu sneered again: "Why do I say this? If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?! If it is just for the sake of the love between your children, you should give up your thoughts as soon as possible. You are not the one in this court..."

"Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, no matter what it is for, it is always good for him to make progress."

Jiao Shun hurriedly stopped Jia Zheng, wondering where he had the confidence to talk about his son. Regardless of the fact that he had been ill at home for more than a year, he was also famous in the Ministry of Industry.

Old bastard.

Speaking of which, my mother accidentally almost ruined her good deeds this time. Fortunately, Jia Baoyu couldn't get the mud to stick to the wall and pushed it away from the steps near her mouth.

It's a pity that it has not been completely pushed away, and there is still a tail left for next spring.

But as the saying goes, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. If you make good use of this, it may be a help to yourself.

But I heard him say to Baoyu seriously: "Since you have made up your mind to serve the government seriously, you can't give up halfway like last time. In this way, I will take the time to talk to you about the things in engineering and study, and then find some more

I asked you to practice and study the old official documents. When I have free time, I will come to my house to help with the review. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

He was worried that there was no reason to come to Rongguo Mansion more often. Now, didn't this come naturally?

Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Jia Baoyu was somewhat repelled, but she did not dare to show it in front of Jia Zheng, so she could only pretend to be happy and agreed.

Jia Zheng was very moved at first, but then he thought about whether Jiao Shun took such good care of Baoyu because of the old kindness in the house, or because of the Wang family?

Could it be that I was too happy earlier? This guy is really so non-vegetarian...

I was filled with doubts for a while, and even the interest in talking disappeared.

Jiao Shun didn't know that he had exposed himself. Seeing him like this, he thought it was due to fatigue. He was about to take Baoyu with him to leave, so that he could carefully discuss when he would start visiting people to preach and give liquids.

It happened that Mrs. Wang sent someone to invite her at this time, saying that Shi Xiangyun had already met the old lady.

Jiao Shunsui took the opportunity to leave Rongxi Hall and made an appointment with Jia Baoyu for three days of fishing and two days of netting.

When he arrived at Wang Xifeng's courtyard, he saw Mrs. Xu pulling Shi Xiangyun to chat. He stepped forward and called his mother, then sat down beside Shi Xiangyun and said with a smile: "You go about your business. I'm here in Xiangyun."

That's enough."

Mrs. Xu glared at him and replied with a pun: "She should be enough for you!"

Jiao Shun: "..."

When Mrs. Xu went to talk to Aunt Xue and gave space to the young couple, Jiao Shun asked, "Why, did you cry at the old lady's side just now?"

After hearing this, Shi Xiangyun quickly took out a small mirror to check, and said: "I have obviously covered it with gouache, how could the master see it at a glance?"

"My mother probably noticed it too."

Jiao Shun smiled and said, "Otherwise, she wouldn't be nagging like this. She just saw that you were trying to hide it and didn't point it out to you face to face."

Shi Xiangyun was a little frustrated and muttered: "Old lady, I'm afraid the old lady won't be around for a few more days."

"Is the illness really serious?"

Jiao Shun immediately became serious.

Shi Xiangyun nodded slightly, and couldn't help but shed some tears in his eyes: "She couldn't even recognize Sister Feng and I, her eyes were broken, and she kept asking why she didn't light up the lights so late at night."

As he spoke, he leaned into Jiao Shun's arms and continued to choke with sobs: "Obviously he had just eaten, but he complained that he was hungry again and said he wanted to complain to his father."

"Father?"

"She is probably talking about my great-grandfather. She seems to think that she is still a child before she leaves the government."

Got~

Previously, he just changed his temper and couldn't speak clearly. This time, he was completely confused.

But this is not a bad thing for Jiao Shun. If Jia's mother is not seriously ill, how can she induce Sister Lin to put down her worries and seek contact with this person?

Of course, we can't let the two people come into contact seriously, it's better to be the kind that seems real and illusory in the clouds.
