The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 594 Farewell
October [-]th of the fifth year of Longyuan.

For Jiao Shun, this is undoubtedly a memorable day, because from today onwards, he will officially move out of Rongguo Mansion, get rid of the life of being dependent on others, and become the real head of the family.

That's right, the head of the family.

A few days ago, Laiwang and his wife had a discussion, and decided that when they moved to their new home, their son would be the master of the house—although it had been like this for a long time, but this time, even the address had to be changed, so that someone Jiao would be nothing at home in the future. ', but 'Master'.

Laiwang was naturally promoted to the post of 'grandfather'.

In this way, it can be regarded as avoiding the embarrassing situation that the owner of the Zijin Street Jiaofu's surname is 'Lai'.

This morning, people headed by Jia Zheng flocked out of the main entrance—all the luggage went through the back door, but people had to leave through the main entrance.

Looking back at the gilded plaque of Rongguo Mansion, Jiao Shun couldn't help being filled with emotion.

Not long after I first came to this world, I was excited and flustered when I first set foot in Rongguo Mansion.

In order to change his own situation, when he followed his father to present treasures to Wang Xifeng, he was humble and unwilling to stand far away beside the stable with his back hunched over.

Fighting with the Lai family twice, almost in a desperate situation, and finally being saved by the heavenly decree, the surprises are mixed.

When he first entered the official career, he was squeezed out by his colleagues, criticized by literati, and even regarded as ashamed by Jia Zheng and others.

After overcoming the thorns and thorns step by step, the Rongguo Mansion has undergone changes visible to the naked eye.

To this day, when I walk out of the main gate of Rongguo Mansion in style, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Jia Rong, and Jia Huan who surround me are all full of enthusiasm, and even from Jia Zhen down, they are more courteous. To please.

But just the huge difference between the entry and exit is enough to make people feel proud.

not to mention……

Siqi, Yang, the deleted Jin, Yuchuan, Xiangling, Qingwen, Xing Xiuyan, You, Li Wan, Aunt Zhao, Tanchun, Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue...

This long list of names, which has not yet been listed, is enough to prove his proud record!
Leaving this mansion now, I can't say that I don't have any regrets at all, but it is enough to be complete.

"Brother."

After all, Jia Zheng is an elder, so it's not easy to be too affectionate, but Jia Zhen has no worries in this regard, she stepped forward and said, "Although we have moved out, we should come and go often in the future."

"That's natural!"

Jiao Shun avoided skin-to-skin contact, then nodded vigorously: "Even if my brother doesn't say anything, I will often visit you and your nephews."

If it was changed to You Shi and Brother Xiong, then the words were purely from the heart.

Jia Zhen is naturally aware of this, but he didn't care about it that much at first, and now he is recovering from illness, and he dare not get close to women at all, and he doesn't care anymore. Maybe with the help of Jiao Shun, Jia Rong can be given a lucrative vacancy, so as to subsidize the expenses of the mansion.

Immediately he laughed, and tacitly patted Jiao Shun on the shoulder, taking advantage of the situation to give up the seat to Jia Lian.

If you want to say who has the most complicated mood among the people who saw you off, it must be Jia Lian.

I still remember that when he went south to see Lin Daiyu off, Jiao Shun was just a budding butler, the kind who had to queue outside the door if he wanted to report to himself or Wang Xifeng.

Who would have imagined that in just a few years, there will be a lot of turmoil, and now the other party has already surpassed himself in terms of status and influence, and even Baoyu, who is full of stars in the mansion, has to rely on him to officially enter the official career.

Looking at myself again, not to mention the loss of harmony between the husband and wife, and now being implicated by Wang Xifeng's loss of power, his status in the mansion is not as good as before...

The world is really fickle!

Thinking of all these things, Jia Lian stared at Jiao Shun for a long time, and finally he could only say dryly: "Take care."

Then she followed Jia Zhen's example and retreated to the side.

The next farewells by Jia Baoyu, Jia Rong and the others were all following the trend and nothing special—as for Jia Huan, although he came, it was not his turn to bid farewell to Jiao Shun.

In the end, it was Jia Zheng who came forward and taught him with airs.

But it is said that he is putting on airs, but in fact, his superior attitude has long since disappeared in his words, and when he entrusted Baoyu to Jiao Shun for the last time, he unconsciously brought out three-point flattery.

When he got into the carriage, Jiao Shun looked back and clasped his fists, staring at the gilded signboard of Rongguo Mansion for a moment again, then said "Farewell" and got into the carriage with his head down.

The spacious and tall carriage started slowly, and drove to the intersection. The convoy had been waiting for a long time—originally, Lai Wang and Xu Shi should also come out from the main gate, but they were different from Jiao Shun after all, they had been servants in Rongguo Mansion for many years. Facing so many old masters, it is inevitable to feel a little uncomfortable.

So even Xu, who had the best face, chose to follow the army through the back door.

A quarter of an hour later.

The news of Jiao Shun's formal departure spread throughout the Rongning Second Mansion.

Hengwu courtyard.

Shi Xiangyun, who was cleaning the bicycle himself, froze slightly, and soon recovered.

The small flower hall of Neiyimen.

On the spread out rice paper, Jia Tanchun wrote in thick ink and color, "The sea is wide with the fish leaping, the sky is high for the birds to fly".

Daoxiang Village.

Li Wan and Wang Xifeng, who had just recovered from a serious illness, were discussing the frequency of going to the Muni Temple to offer incense, whether it should be a ten-day period or a half-month period.

Zhuijin Building.

Yingchun threw a paper plane from the balcony on the third floor, watched it fly more than ten feet away and plunged towards the lake, and then struggled to climb up again when it was about to enter the water, but finally sank into the lake powerlessly .

Qingtang hut.

After hearing Caixia's report, Mrs. Wang was in a daze for a while, and then she muttered to herself, "I don't know what's going on with the Xue family."

Ningguo Mansion.

When Youshi got the news, he silently hugged Brother Xiong.

…………

Let's go back and talk about Jiao Shun.

After rejoining his family's convoy, Jiao Shun raised the curtain and saw his father who was not far away was gesturing through the window, but there was no trace of his mother.

He signaled the coachman to bring the cart closer and bridle, and raised his voice and asked, "Father, where is my mother?"

"She couldn't wait, so she went to clean up the house first."

As Laiwang said, he pointed his head forward: "Besides, didn't Mrs. Xue's family say she was going to help? It's a good idea not to have an accompanying person."

After a pause, he added: "Mr. Xing and your maidservants have also followed."

"Oh."

Jiao Shun nodded knowingly, and said loudly: "In that case, let's hurry up and get on the road, so as not to make Aunt Xue's family wait for a long time."

Lai Wang also nodded, but immediately said in a low voice: "When I married your mother, I never thought that one day she would really talk about sisters with the daughter of the Wang family."

In fact, it's not just about sisters.

Jiao Shun laughed heartily, and joked again: "Father, you were going to go with me just now, maybe you can hear Uncle Zheng Shi call you a good brother."

"go away!"

Laiwang laughed and cursed, but couldn't help but flush a little on his face, but it wasn't from embarrassment, but blood surged up when he thought of that scene.

Jiao Shun overtook another car to the front and called Xue Pan into the car—Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and others would all go to Zijin Street to celebrate—then with an order, the motorcade sponsored by the Rongning Second Mansion and the Xue family started Move forward slowly.

In fact, there are not many things that really need to be pulled. After all, the Jiao family doesn’t look down on the second-hand furniture that the Rongguo Mansion uses for the stewards. Besides, after a few months of preparation, they have already bought all that should be bought, so these thirty or forty A big car is purely for the purpose of supporting the scene.

But the scene is there, but the progress is inevitably slow.

I don't know how long it has passed, Jiao Shun was chatting with Xue Pantian in the car - regardless of his character, Xue Bian is definitely a showman, with him, he has nothing to worry about - suddenly he got a report, It is said that half of the road ahead is blocked, do you want to make a detour.

Just as Jiao Shun was about to agree, he suddenly thought of something, lifted the curtain and looked out, as expected, he saw dozens of large vehicles parked on the street ahead, and countless people lined up from the street to the end of the street, it was so dark that there was no end in sight .

What caused this scene was the engineering school rebuilt from the old Prince Yizhong's mansion.

Xue Pan also took a look from the opposite side, and said strangely: "Brother Jiao, didn't you say that you only started signing up for the engineering school on the first day of next month? Why are there so many people here today?"

"Haha, after all, there are only [-] quotas for outsiders. If there are too many monks, don't we just grab them?"

Jiao Shun was perfunctory, but the fact is naturally not the case. Although there are not many places open to the outside this time, it is not enough for so many people to queue up to sign up one day in advance.

In fact, since the newspaper publishing ceremony a few days ago, he has tried his best to heighten the tense atmosphere, and the earliest people who came to line up today were all the child care workers hired by the Trade Union.

It is not entirely true to say that it is childcare. These people did want to sign up, but they were not so urgent at first, and then they were encouraged by the members of the Trade Union, so they came to line up in advance.

And when more people join the queue due to herd mentality, these people may also thank the township party and workers who encouraged them.

Although the scene in front of him was originally the result of Jiao's secret planning and incitement, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but have the illusion that 'all the heroes in the world are in my pocket'.

However, this is impossible. Although there are many treasures left over from the sea among the craftsmen, at this stage, they are still nothing compared to the imperial examinations that have been passed down for thousands of years.

But this is already an excellent start.

Maybe Jiao Shun will be able to truly see that scene in his lifetime.

At this time, Xue Pan looked at the crowd again and said, "Thank you brother, you quietly reserved a few places for my family. If not, my family might have to send people to line up."

There are a total of [-] places for engineering enrollment this time.

Among them, [-] are public-derived, that is, nominated by state-owned enterprises under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry.

The [-] quotas were given to various imperial merchants, as well as some well-recognized great merchants—mainly those with backgrounds, such as the nephew of a certain elder or the cheap brother-in-law of a certain prince.

There are also [-] quotas that belong to the activity index, for the internal government, the Ministry of Industry, and someone from Jiao to conduct PY transactions.

Only the remaining [-] places will be released, and the recruitment will be conducted through public assessment—if it is not so tight, don't even try to heighten the lively atmosphere in front of you.

"What's the matter, can I not take care of my family?"

Jiao Shun waved to Xue Pan, signaling that he doesn't need to be polite to him.

At this moment, his gaze caught sight of a blond foreigner, who was walking towards the surging crowd with an easel on his back. The corners of his mouth could not help but twitched slightly, and he lowered the curtain in his hand, and ordered, "Let's take a detour."

It was only the first step of someone Jiao's plan to highlight the scene of "one ticket is hard to find" for engineering places, and then it was time for the famous scene of "AIA Surprised" - he secretly ordered someone to find a sketch artist, pretending to be I came across this scene by accident and drew it down.

After a few days, the barbarians were shocked by Xia Guo's determination to develop engineering, and the rumors that Xia Guo was invincible would be rampant.

At that time, a rich man will buy the painting with a high profile, confirm that all this is not a rumor, and then donate it to engineering, and write a message on it like 'study for the great Xia to dominate the world'.

In the end, the emperor talked a lot about engineering and learning in the court hall to promote the prestige of our country...

This is the first shot fired after the establishment of Engineering.

This is a later story, let's not mention it.

But she said that Aunt Xue was feeling a little uncomfortable, and she was in Jiao's living room with Mrs. Xu recalling bitterness and sweetness, when she heard a report from outside, saying that the motorcade had turned into the back street of Zijin Street.

She got up subconsciously, but Xu Shi beside her stood up slowly and asked, "Why are you so out of your mind today? Could it be that there is something at home that you can't let go of? If there is something urgent, there is no need to wait here—anyway We became neighbors, and we will grow up in the future."

Mrs. Xu still felt a little uncomfortable when she got along with her on an equal footing in the Rongguo Mansion, but now that she is at home, she has completely calmed down.

"No, no!"

Aunt Xue hurriedly waved her hands, and sighed half-truthfully: "I was just in a daze for a while—although I have long regarded you as a family member, I never expected that your family will have the weather it is today."

She used to say that she was a sister, but now it is generally changed to a relative.

When Xu heard the words, she was filled with emotions. Countless words came together in her heart, but in the end she just smiled: "Where is this so? Good days are yet to come!"

Aunt Xue nodded slightly when she heard the words, and followed suit: "Yes, good days are yet to come."

I don't know what I thought of, but the voice gradually became lower in the second half of the sentence, and my face couldn't stop getting hot.

She was afraid of revealing her flaws, so she hurriedly said: "Since Brother Shun and the others are coming, let's hurry outside to meet them."

How could Mrs. Xu know what was in her heart?
Immediately agreed, he led Xing Xiuyan and all the maids to welcome him out.

After waiting on the steps for another quarter of an hour, he saw several large carriages slowly stopping in front of the main entrance—most of the carriages went to the corner gate.

Lai Wang, Jiao Shun, and Xue Pan got out of the car and came to chat with Mrs. Xu and Aunt Xue, but one of them tremblingly walked to the front, raised his hand and looked at the gold-plated "Jiao Mansion" plaque, and sighed with emotion. Thousands of old tears.

"Brother Shun."

Jiao Shun was discussing with his mother about having a banquet for the guests at noon when his father elbowed him suddenly.

Turning his head and following Laiwang's pointing, he saw Jiao Dazheng looking up at the plaque with tears streaming down his face. He hurried over to support the stubborn old man, and said with a smile: "Godfather, what's there to cry about? Our Jiao family is good." The days are yet to come!"
