The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 654 Aftermath
"What? The second sister suffered from dementia and was locked up?"

In the early morning of the fourth day of the lunar new year, Jia Baoyu tidied up everything neatly, and was about to go out to find his sisters, and inquire about what the three of them had seen at Jiao's house yesterday, but unexpectedly got the news that Yingchun was imprisoned.

He couldn't help being astonished.

Then he wondered again: "This is not right. Since the second sister is ill, it is even more necessary for the brothers and sisters to come to the door to comfort them. Why is it closed? When I was ill, my sisters came to visit every day. of!"

Xiren guessed that there must be some secrets in it, and when he saw what he was saying, he was about to run to ask what happened, and hurriedly persuaded him: "The master and wife have their reasons for treating them like this, so don't follow along—" Be careful, the master is annoyed, and he turned over the old account again!"

After bringing Jia Zheng out, Jia Baoyu really didn't dare to say anything.

But after he went out, he still went to Zhuijin Tower first, and saw that the servants really blocked the way and refused to let go, so he walked back resentfully.

"Second Brother Bao, Second Brother Bao!"

At this moment, a male duck's voice, which was in the process of changing its voice, suddenly came from diagonally.

Jia Baoyu followed the prestige, but it was Jia Huan who was sneaking behind the bushes, waving to this side again and again: "Second Brother Bao, come here, I have something to tell you!"

Concubine Rong hesitated when the matter came to an end, subconsciously delaying the time and said: "I see that my sister seems to be a little unhappy just now, but I don't know what troubles you have encountered?"

So he hurriedly said: "That's just right, I also have an important matter, and I want to discuss it with my sister alone!"

But how does Concubine Wu know the secret?
Feeling aggrieved at the moment, he wondered why the queen can discuss important matters, and he just complained casually, so he ended up like this?
Besides, even if the queen's dignity is unmatched, isn't there still a virtuous concubine?Why can she be involved in politics? !
In the past, Concubine Wu Gui would never have dared to have these thoughts, she can only say that the environment can indeed change a person's mind.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

She has been betting on both sides for a while, but she has not settled on both sides.

But her complaints made Concubine Rong completely determined, and immediately whispered: "Sister, you are worrying too much. As far as I know, the empress has a handle on Jiao Shun in her hands. If he is really domineering in the future, naturally You can cure him with this!"

As he spoke, he stomped his feet and turned around and ran away.

Jia Baoyu nodded slowly as if he had realized something, and when he got home, he put aside his idle books and began to read Buddhist scriptures and Taoism seriously.

Emperor Longyuan's complexion darkened, and he interrupted her words: "Since I chose him to teach Brother Yao, I naturally trust his character."

When Emperor Longyuan heard the words, his complexion couldn't help becoming strange.

"Hehe~"

Is it...

"Bah~"

If it is the other person, after hearing this, he must be enlightened and persuaded, telling him not to give up on himself, but to work hard.

"Why not? She could have turned against uncle on the spot!"

Jia Baoyu heard half of it, and said flatly: "The third sister is definitely not that kind of person!"

Concubine Wu Gui explained dryly, while trying to pull out her arm in a very uncomfortable way, and cursed secretly: Damn fat woman, she knows how to use her own strengths to attack others' weaknesses!
In fact, Concubine Rong really didn't want to show off, the main reason was that her size was not satisfactory to anyone, and there was no need to find a small one for comparison.

Xichun was a little puzzled at first, but then persuaded: "Like you and me, it is very difficult to cross the sea of ​​suffering. If you force yourself to be contaminated with these mundane things, I am afraid that not only will it not help, but you will find yourself troubled."

He jumped up clutching the sore spot, and said in surprise: "Why do you still want to fight him?!"

Just as Jiao Shun expected, by the afternoon of the fourth day of the fourth day, more than ten memorials to impeach him were placed on Jia Yuanchun's desk - the first wave was well-informed, and the follow-up was the main force.

"Then don't talk about her."

As if being pardoned, Concubine Wu was about to get up on the dragon chair when she suddenly heard the emperor continue: "You don't need to serve me today, go and invite the empress, I have important matters to discuss with the empress."

"impossible!"

The queen was not surprised at all, how could someone who can do such things in the mourning hall be a completely law-abiding person?

Emperor Longyuan hesitated to speak, he wanted to use the cleaning room as an example to show that he is not young, but last time the two had a cold war for several days, after thinking about it, they finally exposed this problem and did not mention it, just said: "I At that time, he will naturally be able to subdue him, so I am not afraid without those two memorials, I am afraid that in the future..."

Concubine Wu Gui originally had some objections to this, but now seeing that he was spoiled and spoiled after winning the award, she became more and more dissatisfied with his taboo behavior.

At the beginning, he tried every means to give Jia Zheng credit, but he didn't want Jia Zheng to fall ill just after he was promoted, which made him busy for nothing; later, he persevered in playing Jia Baoyu as an official, but Jia Baoyu was a rotten wood. — For this reason, he was criticized a lot.

"It's not easy to talk nonsense!"

Emperor Longyuan raised his left hand, and brought the topic back on track again: "What I mean is, in order to prevent him from making mistakes, you might as well tell him about these two memorials after Yao'er ascends the throne." Reveal a thing or two—this way, it will prevent him from having a bad end in the future."

"Where did you hear this? Walk around, come with me to Qiushuangzhai to confront the third sister!"

"Hehe~"

"shut up!"

Emperor Longyuan's voice became more serious, and he said angrily: "I have always employed people without suspicion, and doubted people are not used. You have repeatedly criticized ministers, but you forgot the rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?!"

Emperor Longyuan couldn't help but blurted out: "You can't believe everything in the memorial!"

Seeing Concubine Rong holding her head up like a watermelon, Concubine Wu Guifei felt displeased—although Concubine Rong often went to Zhongcui Palace to flatter her recently, firstly Concubine Wu Guifei had prejudice against her, and secondly, she He has also visited the queen quite a few times, so he still treats her with no false pretense.

Jia Yuanchun frowned slightly when he saw it at the beginning, but he soon calmed down, classified and summarized it in the usual way, and put it in the first article of the summary report, without any intention of hiding it for Jiao Shun.

"how?"

Not long after the queen arrived, Emperor Longyuan immediately retreated to the left and right, and told what Jiao Shun did yesterday.

Emperor Longyuan was obviously very satisfied with her performance, and praised her for the first time.

Only then did Jia Huan understand what she meant, and immediately curled her lips and said: "Mother also thinks highly of Baoyu, he just fools women and is willing to work hard. Being an official is like going to jail. If you can persist for three days and two mornings, it is considered good." of!"

Jia Yuanchun also told the truth, even if it was obvious that there was an exaggeration in it, he never made excuses for Jiao Shun.

Emperor Longyuan snorted coldly and did not answer. Concubine Wu Gui knelt on the ground for a long time until her calf was numb, and then she heard him say: "Get up."

Of course, no matter how dissatisfied she was, Concubine Wu Guifei did not dare to disobey the emperor's wishes at this time, so she could only obey obediently, and left the bedroom with her head bowed.

As Jia Baoyu said, he was about to pull again, Jia Huan hurriedly backed away, and said angrily, "I'm kind enough to tell you, why do you want to repay your kindness? Hmph~ Do you believe it or not!"

Although she gave birth to the only prince before, the emperor was young and good-looking after all, and no one thought that was his only flesh and blood, so the concubines who felt that they had a chance all regarded her as a competitor, not something to please object.

After Emperor Longyuan saw it, he immediately asked for some details.

"emperor!"

After a pause, he couldn't help but add another sentence: "Besides, he is so unscrupulous now, who knows what he will do in the future?!"

Jia Huan pouted secretly, then winked and asked, "Second Brother Bao just went to see Second Sister?"

But Concubine Wu Gui, who was on duty today, was quite dissatisfied—it was not that she was dissatisfied with Jia Yuanchun, but that she was quite critical of Jiao Shun's behavior.

But Xichun nodded her head when she heard this, and said: "That's right, so it's best to get out of this mundane world, then they don't have to count on us, and we don't count on them. remove?"

Aunt Zhao spat hard with her hips crossed, and said angrily: "I told you these things because you told him to go?! If this coaxes him to open his mind, it will be easy to become an official. Can I have a good day for you?!"

Jia Baoyu followed closely through the bushes, and finally blocked Jia Huan when he reached a fork in the road.

Jia Huan smiled smugly, seeing that there was no one else around, and said with a low voice: "I heard people say that it was because my sister sued her for being black, so..."

As Jia Baoyu said, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly grabbed Jia Huan through the bushes and asked, "Why, did you hear something?"

The queen didn't care about being annoyed, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why did you say that, you are only sick for a while, and you will live a long life when you get well!"

So he briefly explained what happened before, and said angrily: "How dare I interfere in politics, but that Jiao Shun is one of Prince Yao's teachers after all, what should I do if I bring him down?"

"You heard that too?"

Emperor Longyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things, why hide it? I look at that Wu family, I am afraid that he has long been looking forward to becoming an empress dowager—or even an empress dowager."

"Queen!"

If in the past, Concubine Wu Guifei would have trembled from fear if she was reprimanded by the emperor like this.

The queen quickly stopped him again, and said: "If it gets out, how can Brother Yao deal with himself?"

"So what?"

"presumptuous!"

"Naturally!"

She put all her heart and soul into pleasing Concubine Wu, listening to Concubine Wu's words, she seemed to resent the emperor's dismissal of herself and calling the queen alone to discuss important matters, and she didn't feel a move in her heart.

"Then do you know why Second Sister was locked up?"

Although he subconsciously imitated Jia Zheng's appearance to teach his younger brother, but after all he was not as upright as Jia Zheng. As soon as he spoke, he walked honestly to the bushes.

Jia Baoyu was about to swear that he would never pursue it, and then Jia Huan told the 'truth': "I heard people say that it's all because Brother Bao, you don't seek to make progress, and you don't even have a decent official in your troubled family, so you were punished. The man surnamed Sun bullied him again and again, and the second sister was afraid that it would end badly if she fell into his hands, so she made up her mind to ask Big Brother Jiao to be her backer."

Jia Baoyu shook his hand violently, not even caring that his sleeve was scratched by a bush, and said angrily, "Why would Second Sister do such a thing?"

He opened his mouth hesitantly, but in the end he didn't say anything. He lowered his head slowly and rubbed the soles of 15 taels of shoes back and forth on the bluestone board.

Seeing this, Xichun sent the two maids away, stepped forward and asked, "But it's because of the second sister?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can now see that once the emperor becomes successful in the future, even if Jiao Shun is not among the most important ministers, he will definitely have a lot of influence on the little emperor.

"Believe it or not!"

Just as he was hesitating and at a loss, he suddenly heard someone call out: "Second brother, what are you doing here?"

Jia Baoyu turned around, but it turned out to be Xichun, Ruhua, and the color screen.

Before Wu Guifei could speak, she sighed again: "Depend on me, this thing should be kept by my sister, and when His Highness grows older, you will hand it over to him."

"Really? Do you know what it is?!"

"Didn't it be because of dementia?"

…………

"Long Live God has something to discuss with the queen, so he specially granted me a vacation!"

Speaking of this, her expression unavoidably became wretched and sneaky, and she whispered under her voice: "It is said that the second sister even took off her obscene clothes. If my sister hadn't left quickly, I'm afraid..."

Jia Baoyu staggered back half a step as if he had been hit by a sap, and murmured, clutching his temples, "You say this, this is all because of me?! How could it be? Me, me, me..."

The empress had no objection to this, but she couldn't help her heart beat violently when she thought that Jiao Shun would reveal to Jiao Shun that after the emperor's visit, she had those two unsightly memorials in her hands.

the other side.

Concubine Wu Guifei's attitude is very indifferent, although the queen's side is close, she treats everyone in a similar manner-it's better to put Bao on the head of the whole family than continue to hang around like this!
Concubine Wu Gui was very impatient with her face-to-face slapstick, but after all, she couldn't tear her face face to face, so she could only reluctantly agree.

Jia Huan scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "You really want to listen?"

He couldn't help but complained in the emperor's ear: "How can this kind of heart and character be a teacher? If you let him lead Brother Yao badly..."

As for Rongguo Mansion, he was even more benevolent.

"Brother Huan, Brother Huan!"

Jia Huan rolled his eyes, curled his lips and said, "Second sister didn't talk about sisterhood, and hooked up with Jiao Shun when she was at Jiao's house, but my sister bumped into him on the spot, so..."

"This……"

Since you can't get it, let's just use it as a vote today!

Originally thinking of seeing and greeting casually, he passed by.

After a long while, he finally broke free from the feeling of guilt and confusion, raised his head and wanted to ask a few more questions, but there was no trace of Jia Huan in front of him?
If you want to go to Tanchun to face the symptoms, but you are worried that Tanchun will say the same thing, and then he will really not be able to accept and face it.

…………

When they got home, they immediately backed away from the left and right sides, and put on a posture of saying something quickly and leaving quickly after speaking.

Seeing the emperor's stern voice, Concubine Wu Guifei looked like a balloon that had been punctured. She knelt down on the ground while leaning on the dragon chair, tremblingly saying that she didn't dare.

The queen was immediately annoyed, and glared at Emperor Longyuan with a blushing face: "I'm just talking about the matter, and that... hum! Besides, since your Majesty has such a handle on him, why should you care about such a small matter?"

"I……"

But time has changed, and she has been flattered and flattered by the concubines in the palace for several months. She is obviously good at courage. Relying on the golden body that gave birth to the future prince, she did not give up and complained: "But the emperor didn't listen to it." Really? In front of those work-students..."

Jia Baoyu actually believed what he said, but he was still puzzled and said, "Why did the second sister torture herself like this?"

In fact, the emperor's words themselves meant that his sentence "do not doubt people, do not doubt people", was nothing but a high-sounding lie.

When Concubine Rong went to the Queen's Palace these days, she would subconsciously pay attention to the mahogany box. Seeing that the box seemed to be opened and flipped from time to time, she became more and more curious about what was written in the memorial. The way to see the truth.

"Okay, then I said you can't be angry-this is what I heard from others, not my own meaning."

Aunt Zhao thought it was the same reason, so she turned her anger into joy, and laughed at Baoyu's embarrassment with her son.

As expected, Concubine Wu Gui was aroused curiosity and subconsciously asked.

Seeing this, Baoyu raised his face slightly and reprimanded him: "If you want to talk to me, talk to me. What does it look like to hide your head and show your tail?"

It was not until the second emperor suffered a hemiplegia from a stroke that this situation was completely changed.

I heard that the Ningguo Mansion once made things difficult for him because of the title, but instead of taking revenge, he helped the Ningguo Mansion take the lead in doing a few businesses.

Concubines who were rebellious in the past—such as Concubine Rong, Concubine Li, etc., now only dare to bow down in front of her and play tricks to flatter her. After a long time, Concubine Wu inevitably replaced herself as an "imperial concubine" or even "a concubine" in advance. As the empress dowager's status, the angle of seeing things is naturally quite different.

Therefore, when Emperor Longyuan talked about Jiao Shun's behavior yesterday, the Queen just didn't take it seriously and said: "After all, he came from a humble background, and he has never studied poetry, books and etiquette. It is normal for him to act carelessly."

"Humph~"

Jia Huan poked his neck and asked, "You believe it now?"

But Jia Baoyu obviously misunderstood it, and held his face even more dejectedly and said: "Yes, if a useless person like me really becomes an official, it will probably only cause more trouble."

Taking advantage of Baoyu's daze, Jia Huan ran to Aunt Zhao's room in a hurry, danced and painted vividly, and taught Aunt Zhao the scene just now.

He stopped the conversation just right, pinched a circle with his left hand, and poked in with the index finger of his right hand.

Even the visit to Mei Hanlin's house that time was to help Jia's in-laws - this was written in the memorial, and the queen thought it was Jiao Shun to find a reason for herself, but judging from the previous events, most likely Should be true.

Concubine Rong shook her head and said: "I don't know exactly what it is, I only vaguely heard that it is two memorials related to Lord Jiao."

I didn't want Concubine Rong to be very affectionate. After seeing the ceremony, she took the initiative to take her arm and asked with a smile: "Isn't my sister on duty at the Qianqing Palace? Why..."

Just as he was proud, Aunt Zhao slapped the sole of his shoe suddenly.

Concubine Wu Gui frowned, originally she didn't want to talk about it, but she kept it in her heart and couldn't express it, and thinking about it, more than one person saw it at that time, it seemed that there was nothing to hide.

Finally, he proudly said: "You didn't see his lost soul, you really laughed me to death... Ouch!"

Jia Baoyu only thought that Jia Huan's words were known to everyone in the house, so he sighed, sat down on a stone by the side of the road, thumped his thigh and said, "Am I really useless? Tired you?"

This was originally to persuade Jia Baoyu not to worry about Yingchun.

"Why did brother say that?"

As for repaying Jia Amnesty's debts; knowing that the Rongguo Mansion was involved in a lawsuit, he still insisted on marrying Shi Xiangyun inside; interceding for Jia Yuanchun, etc., needless to say.

However, it was said that Concubine Wu Gui came out of Qianqing Palace full of grievances, and was rushing to Zhongcui Palace where she lived, when she ran into Concubine Rong head-on.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

However, she had learned about Jiao Shun's past recently, and found that although he was limited to a rough background, he was a man who reciprocated kindness.

He remembered that the Queen had hated Jiao Shun ever since she read those two memorials, why did she just excuse Jiao Shun today?

These words hit Concubine Wu Gui's heart, so she became more and more aggrieved.

But she was still rational after all, knowing that it was impossible to force the queen to hand over Jiao Shun's handle at this time.

but……

When the son ascends the throne in the future, it will be another situation!
