The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 428 Birthday [Part [-]]

The main hall of the Grand View Garden.

Wang Xifeng sold a few words of good behavior in front of Mrs. Shi Jia, which caused the elders to burst into laughter. Then she took advantage of the situation and retreated, leaving the front stage to the old lady and Mrs. Wang.

I was going to walk around the table of the young female relatives on the right, but I happened to bump into Aunt Xue who was coming back from the outside. Seeing Aunt Xue's ecstasy, she couldn't help joking, "Where did Auntie go? Why are you out of your mind?" , as if you just lost your money."

"No, nothing."

Aunt Xue subconsciously avoided her gaze, and abruptly changed the topic: "I heard that Shi Jia's sister is here? I really haven't seen her for a while, so I'll go and have a look first."

With that said, he bypassed Wang Xifeng and went straight to Chairman Zhengzhong.

Wang Xifeng looked at her back suspiciously, always feeling that there was something weird about it, but now she was full of other things, so she didn't care to explore others for a while.

As she walked towards the right side of the banquet, she glanced out of the corner of her eye at the male guests who were separated by light gauze, only to find that Jiao Shun hadn't come back yet, and she didn't know where he went to attract others.

When they arrived at the women's banquet, Wang Xifeng was familiar with this sister-in-law and that younger sister, but secretly pondered what Jiao Shun's so-called living treasure was.

I didn't think about it carefully at the time, but the more I think about it now, the more I feel that this living baby is probably a person, and it is a woman who has an affair with Jiao Shun!
Combined with the condition of being able to solve problems for himself in housework, the first thing Wang Xifeng thought of was Li Wan. At first glance, this condition is very simple, and any servant can do it. How can I satisfy myself?

So this person must be the serious master of the mansion.

Among them, Li Wan is the most qualified to help him with housework.

But when he thought about it again, he felt something was wrong. The adulterous relationship between Jiao Shun and Li Wan had already been exposed, so why should he cover it up again, and call him "living baby"?

But if it wasn't Li Wan, who would it be?
It can't always be...

Thinking of Jia Zheng's suspicion of Mrs. Wang's affair with Jiao Shun, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but want to laugh, such absurd thing, thanks to this, Duke Zhou can think of it!

Besides, Mrs. Wang is already related to her, so why need outsiders to 'match' her?
Who is this living baby?

While contemplating, while taking care of everything at the table, Wang Xifeng was about to go back to his table to continue thinking, when he saw the first familiar figure inadvertently, his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be her? !

It was Xue Baochai who was targeted by Wang Xifeng.

This treasure girl is definitely not lacking in the ability to run a house, and after marrying Baoyu next year, she will naturally have the qualifications to handle housework, but she once discussed marriage with Jiao Shun...

Could it be that the dog slave took her lead? !
Wang Xifeng was taken aback by her own thoughts, after all, she was the daughter-in-law of the grandson who had never been in the Rongguo Mansion!
But if you think about it carefully, Li Wan, You Shi, and yourself, the young mistresses of the Rongning Second Mansion's royal family, have all been eaten up by that dog slave, so what's the point of adding another who hasn't passed the family history? surprisingly?
However, Xue Baochai was listening to Xiangyun and Tanchun, discussing the impact of Sui Ge's old resignation on Jiaoshun, when she suddenly noticed a hot gaze from behind, she looked back, and immediately met Wang Xifeng's probing gaze .

Baochai didn't understand, so she thought there was something wrong with her, so she stood up and asked with a smile, "Why do you look at me like that? But is there anything wrong with me?"

Said, first raised his hand to caress the jade hairpin on his head.

Wang Xifeng looked more and more suspicious, but his face didn't show it at all, he raised his finger to the middle of the table and said: "You are fine, it's just that my aunt and her old man just saw something wrong, and I don't know if it's because of some discomfort."

After Baochai heard this, she hurriedly left her sisters and walked behind Aunt Xue. Seeing that her mother's expression was strange, she listened to her and said, "If your mother is not feeling well, don't hold on. Let's tell the old lady, It's the same when you come back at night."

Aunt Xue was staring at the stage in a daze, she didn't realize what her daughter said for a while, she turned around after a while and asked blankly, "What did you just say?"

Baochai became more and more convinced that her mother was not feeling well, and hurriedly said: "I mean, if mother is not feeling well, let's tell the old lady to go back and rest first, and it will be the same when I come back in the evening."

Only then did Aunt Xue realize that she had shown her traces, and hurriedly covered up: "No, I'm not uncomfortable, just, just... Anyway, it's okay, just go and play with your sisters, don't pay attention to my side .”

Seeing that her mother was flustered, but her attitude was very firm, and she did not seem to be ill, so Baochai had no choice but to give up. Before returning to the banquet, she specifically confessed to Yuanyang, who was standing by the side, and asked her to take care of Aunt Xue .

When they returned to the banquet, Xiangyun and Tanchun gathered around and asked why she left the banquet suddenly.

Hearing Baochai say that Aunt Xue was feeling unwell, Xiangyun hurriedly said, "It's probably due to the noise of the crowd. I brought Suhexiang Pills with me. My sister might as well take it and try it to see if it suits the symptoms."

Tanchun also said: "The secretary has cool powder on his body, so I'll go and get it."

After saying that, he left the table and went outside to ask for medicine.

Although Lin Daiyu didn't get along with Baochai, she liked Aunt Xue's kindness and kindness. At this time, she was silent, but gave Xiangyun a refreshing sachet, signaling Xiangyun to pass it to Baochai.

Baochai took the pills, sachet, and Qingliangsan, and was about to thank the sisters one by one, when Lai Da rushed into the hall in a hurry, and said loudly, "Old lady, the palace has specially sent someone to bring birthday presents!"

After a pause, he added: "It was ordered by the emperor, and now people have entered the garden!"

As soon as the voice fell, the banquet was full of chaos.

Jia Amnesty got up from the banquet and scolded: "Since the angel has arrived, why didn't you inform us first, so that we can open the door to welcome him?"

"It was the father-in-law who said that when he came, the Long Live Lord told him not to disturb the old lady." Lai Da explained while wiping his sweat, "So we dare not stop him, so we can only take him directly to the garden. "

"God is gracious."

Mother Jia clasped her fists in the direction of the imperial city on crutches, and immediately urged Jia Amnesty and the others: "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you hurry up and greet her!"

Jia Amnesty hurriedly led Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, Baoyu and several senior relatives out to welcome them out.

As a result, not long after leaving the main hall, he bumped into Heshou's 'angel' head-on. The leader was a strange young eunuch, and the robes on his body were only ordinary. Then, welcome him into the hall respectfully.

The little eunuch relayed the emperor's oral order, and burst out a few auspicious birthday wishes, the words were really good, and coupled with his status as an imperial envoy, the old lady was so happy from ear to ear. He was invited to sit down for a drink.

The little eunuch agreed with a smile, and when he turned around to face Jia Amnesty, his attitude was obviously a little arrogant, he didn't eat wine, he didn't take food, he didn't even accept the "foot money" offered by Jia Lian, and he just talked about official business In the body, I need to return to my life as soon as possible.

Jia Amnesty was at a loss as to how to deal with it, when Su Maozhen, the uncle of the historian, came up to him and whispered in his ear, "This is Qiu Shi'an, Eunuch Qiu, who has recently been favored in the palace. Dude needs some capital."

This Uncle Su is also from a foreign relative, and he held the title of Deputy Commander in the Dragon Guard, and now works at the Xuanwu Gate [the back gate of the imperial palace, where most eunuchs come in and out].

Only then did Jia Amnesty realize that the other party thought the money was insufficient, so he hurriedly urged Jia Lian to go to the public account to pay for it, while he and Jia Zhen accompanied Jia Zhen with smiling faces.

At this time, a person came in from the outside, saw this scene and said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Qiu?"

Qiu Shi'an frowned and followed the prestige, and when he saw the person coming, his face suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "We forgot that Jiao Jijiu is also in this house, what a sin, a sin!"

It was Jiao Shun who came.

"I heard that an angel came, but I didn't expect it to be Eunuch Qiu."

He returned the salute with a smile, walked quickly to the front, and saw that there was a cup of tea in front of Qiu Shian, so he poured two cups by himself, pushed one of them to Qiu Shian, and said with a smile: "I wanted to treat my father-in-law to eat in the past. The father-in-law doesn't always appreciate the wine, so you should have a glass of the birthday wedding wine today, right?"

"Where is it that we don't want to appreciate it!"

Qiu Shi'an, who had just let Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen try to persuade him, did not even touch a drop of alcohol, now raised his wine glass without hesitation, shouting grievances and aggrieved words: "Long live, I am waiting for you to see through the eyes, we are waiting for you!" If you go back to the palace smelling of alcohol, wouldn't you be bored?"

As he said that, he took the initiative to clink glasses with Jiao Shun: "Today, let's punish ourselves with three glasses, which can be regarded as making up for the past."

But it turned out that this Qiu Shi'an was the little eunuch who was sent by the emperor to urge manuscripts recently, and it was because of this opportunity that he was able to face the emperor every day, and he became a celebrity in the palace recently.

Therefore, on the one hand, he was grateful to Jiao Shun, and on the other hand, he knew that Lord Jiao was very popular now, and in terms of favor, he was far above an eunuch like himself, so he naturally wanted to try his best to curry favor.

He poured himself a drink and drank three cups in a row, then pulled Jiao Shun to persuade him to drink, completely leaving Jia She, Jia Zhen and others aside.

At this time, Jia Lian hurriedly sent a red envelope, but Qiu Shi'an didn't even look at the amount inside, and passed it directly to Jiao Shun, and said with a smile: "When Mr. Jiao takes office, I'm afraid we won't be able to attend. I might as well borrow flowers and offer Buddha a congratulatory gift in advance."

But Jiao Shun didn't try to be pretentious with him, and directly took it into his bag and said, "Father-in-law is straightforward, and I won't shirk it. In a few days or so, it's time for me to celebrate my father-in-law's promotion."

Qiu Shi'an laughed out loud when he heard the words, took Jiao Shun to drink a few more drinks, and then left with a feeling of drunkenness.

When Jiao Shun returned to the hall, he found that since Jia She, no matter whether he was the master or the slave of Rongning Second Mansion, his attitude towards him had changed.

This is not surprising.

Although Jiao Shun has stirred up the situation these days, everyone in the whole family has heard about his heroic deeds, but it was false. Now, with Qiu Shi'an's arrogant and respectful attitude, the status quo of Jiao's prosperity has been brought to the fore. Real place!
The shadows on the table of the women's relatives on the opposite side saw this scene, and they all had their own emotions.

Among them, Tanchun was the one that touched the most. Although the scene just now was not comparable to the allusion of "the wrestler taking off his boots", it was much more vivid than the one in the play.

She stared at the opposite side with scorching eyes, but Aunt Zhao's previous 'suggestion' suddenly appeared in her mind, and she blushed and spat in disgust, but her rejection was much weaker than before.

At this time, I heard Shi Xiangyun put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, look at what that father-in-law means, brother Jiao should be fine this time."

Xue Baochai and Tanchun were hesitant to speak after hearing this.

"I'm afraid not necessarily."

But Lin Daiyu said bluntly: "Eunuchs are not welcomed by literati. I'm afraid his attitude doesn't mean anything. In the eyes of literati, it's probably a crime."

Shi Xiangyun thought about it for the same reason, and couldn't help pouting and said coquettishly: "Reading is only for understanding, but they will fight for power and profit and exclude dissidents. I don't know where I have read these sages' articles!"

Immediately, he whispered distressedly: "Then, should we inquire about the current situation with Brother Jiao?"

"I'll wait until tomorrow..."

"I'm going to go!"

Just as Lin Daiyu wanted to say that it would be the same to ask Xing Xiuyan by herself tomorrow, Jia Tanchun hurriedly urged: "I have to ask Sister Xing to pass the word on these things, so when you marry in the future, do you have to ask her about everything? "

Hearing her mention of her marriage, Shi Xiangyun's face flushed slightly, but he was not stage frightened. Instead, he smiled and said, "Then I'm really looking forward to it. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to be at ease for a lifetime?"

Seeing this, Tanchun shook his head helplessly, thinking that this Yun girl is really not a material to be a housewife.

But then I thought about it again, so if I became the concubine of the previous family, wouldn't I be able to...

Not to mention how the sisters discussed and what decisions they made.

But after sending Qiu Shi'an away, Wang Xifeng managed to relax for a while, and then her eyes fell on Xue Baochai again, thinking secretly whether she should take a chance to test it first, to see if that 'living baby' is Not Bao girl.

"cough~"

Unexpectedly, a dry cough suddenly came from behind her. Wang Xifeng looked back and saw her mother-in-law Xing standing behind her with a cold face.

Wang Xifeng only thought that she had been beaten up in front of the old lady again, so she ran to take revenge on herself, so she hurriedly got up and smiled with her, "What orders does the lady have?"

What he was thinking in his heart was how to block her mouth so that Xing could not get angry.

Mrs. Xing didn't answer, she gritted her teeth and stared at Wang Xifeng for a long time, until she was taken aback by Wang Xifeng, then suddenly she stole her head into Wang Xifeng's ear, and whispered three words: "Living baby."

"It's you?!"

Wang Xifeng was so shocked that she never thought that the "living baby" that Jiao Shun wanted to give would be her own mother-in-law—the Xing family who obeyed Jia She's every way!
Immediately a thought popped up from the bottom of her heart:
That dog slave can even get his own mother-in-law in the pocket, could it be that the suspicion of the political master is not groundless, but real? !
