The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 296
After planning to warn Jia Rong, Jiao Shun went home to finish his lunch, intending to take a nap on the soft jade bed.

Not wanting to, Jia Zheng sent someone to say that he was going to rehearse in the courtyard in the afternoon, and he specially invited Jiao Shun, an official from the Ministry of Industry, to go with him to see if there was anything else that could be added, deleted or revised.

Jiao Shun was also wanting to see what programs the mansion had prepared - after all, he was a foreigner, so he should avoid it on the day of the reception, so he could only enjoy the rehearsal.

When he followed the young man to the other courtyard, he saw that almost all the leading figures from the eastern and western prefectures had gathered except for Jia She, who was ignoring everything.

Jiao Shun went up to meet Jia Zheng, and greeted Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, and Jia Baoyu, while Jia Rong and Jia Qiang hurriedly came up to address him as uncle.

After exchanging pleasantries with each other.

Everyone started to move forward along the established route, only to see that the two sides along the way were changed to evergreen trees, and the ones a little further away were cut out of various flowers, branches and leaves with silk, satin and silk cloth, etc. The ubiquitous colorful lights on the street really look like blooming flowers.

But he said that it was Jia Baoyu's idea to cut fake flowers and leaves out of this silk, satin and silk cloth, but now he sees it so awkwardly, and can't help thinking, the money for these things came from Xue's family. It's still the Lin family.

If there hadn't been such extravagance and extravagance when the yard was built, would the relationship between me and Sister Lin still be in the current predicament?
The more he thinks about it, the more depressed he becomes, and the more he thinks about it, the more he doesn't fit in.

The people around were talking and laughing happily, especially Xue Pan, who couldn't do it right next to him, and he was a good hand at setting off the atmosphere.

Along the way, even the unsmiling Jia Zheng was teased by him several times.

Turning around among the rocks and gardens, I saw a small pier. There had been a cruise ship waiting for a long time on the shore. Everyone stepped on the pedals to board the boat. The three boatmen each used their poles to light the shore and the water. Let the cruise ship drift down the river.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, ordinary streams and rivers have been frozen long ago, but in order to allow the visiting team to enjoy the scenery along the river, Rongguo Mansion has had people dig the surface of the river every day since the sixth day of the lunar new year, and pile the dug out ice cubes on both sides of the river. , and based on this, hundreds of ice sculptures of different sizes were erected.

After the cruise ship stretched along the river for a certain distance, fireworks were set off on both sides of the bank again. Although the fireworks in the daytime lacked some flavor, but with the crystal clear ice sculptures as a foil, it should be more suitable for the term fire trees and silver flowers.

But they said that everyone was looking at both sides of the bank, and suddenly heard laughter like silver bells not far in front.

Looking at the reputation, it turns out that I heard that there will be fireworks on the bank of the river. Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue also brought the girls over to watch the excitement.

Seeing those who are sinking fish, falling geese, closing the moon and shameful flowers, they gather together to laugh and laugh, it is clear that another wonder has been added on the shore, and even the blooming fireworks in the daytime have been covered.

It's okay for others, but Jia Baoyu, who has long been impatient with men, wished he could fly over to reunite with his sisters.

"Master, be careful!"

Just as he was about to see through his eyes, he suddenly heard an exclamation from beside him. Jia Baoyu looked sideways, but saw Xue Pan stepping out of the boat and jumping directly into the river, splashing water everywhere with a thud!
This sudden change made everyone on the shore and the boat dumbfounded.

Before he could react, Xue Pan popped out of the water again, revealing most of his head in the blink of an eye.

Everyone only thought he knew how to swim, and just breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't want to see this guy flailing his hands indiscriminately again, raising his head and shouting: "Help..."

Before he could utter the second word, he sank again with a gurgling sound.

But it turned out that the river channel was dug by hand, and the water depth was less than seven feet [about two meters], while the dumb king was nearly six feet tall, and he stepped on it almost as soon as he sank, so he jumped out from the bottom of the water with all his strength.

Soon he emerged from the water for the second time and shouted again: "...Fate!"

After yelling the word 'help', he sank to the bottom again with a gurgling sound. Seeing the many and dense bubbles, it showed that this guy never shut up even at the bottom of the water.

With just these two appearances, he was more than ten feet away from the cruise ship, and after a few ups and downs, he was completely left behind—it wasn't that he moved in the water, but that the cruise ship was still moving forward.

At this moment, all the people on the boat finally came to their senses, and rushed to the stern of the boat, pointing at Xue Pan and yelling at each other, urging those who knew the water to hurry down to save people.

The women on the shore did not give up, and the most excited ones were Aunt Xue and Baochai.

At this time, Jia Zhen was quick-witted, raised her hands and shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up! Anyone who goes into the water to save someone will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a great reward. Before he finished speaking, the three boatmen jumped down one after another.

The one with the best water skills took the lead, and he came to the front in the blink of an eye, but just as he was about to reach out to grab Xue Pan's back neck, that fool Xue, relying on his height and long arms, grabbed his shoulder first, and then he was like a Like an octopus, he entangled himself, refusing to let go.

Although the leading boatman was proficient in water, he was short and thin. When he became an official, he was desperately entangled by a tall and strong dumb king, how could he break free?
Sheng Sheng was dragged by Xue Pan to ups and downs in the water, choked and choked, rolled his eyes when he saw it, it looked like he was going to die before Xue Pan.

Seeing this, the two boatmen in the back immediately ran into difficulties. Although they were a little watery, they came down too hastily and did not take off their heavy winter clothes. Now they swim in the icy river water as if they were filled with lead. You have already tried your best, how easy is it to save two people who are hugging each other at the same time?
The two subconsciously met eyes, and one of them sincerely wanted to discuss a way out, but he didn't want his partner to suddenly scream: "No, I, I have cramps!"

The moment is also floating up and down in place.

The rest of the people were completely dumbfounded. It was obviously a three-on-one situation when they entered the water. How could it become a one-vs-three in the blink of an eye?
He intends to follow the example of gourds, but although it is common to have muscle cramps in this cold weather, there is no reason for two people to have cramps at the same time.

But even if he wanted to save others, he was powerless.

For a while, he circled around Xue Pan in a hurry.

Seeing this, everyone on the boat was even more anxious. Jia Baoyu, Jia Rong, and Jia Qiang jumped up and down, while Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, and Jia Lian were urging to get down to help.

But with the lesson learned by the boatmen, the rest of them are not as good at water as they are. Faced with such a dangerous situation, they all keep their eyes forward and their bodies backward, and they are afraid to stop.

Seeing that everyone on the boat was helpless, the girls on the shore screamed one after another, and Aunt Xue even cried and struggled to jump into the water.

"Stand firm!"

At this critical juncture, there was a loud shout on board the boat, followed by a sudden shake of the hull, first it stopped drifting along the current, and then it reversed direction.

Everyone stabilized their figures in a panic, only to realize that it was Jiao Shun who was holding the pole and was urging the cruise ship to get closer to Xue Pan.

Only then did everyone wake up like a dream, and realized that it was obviously the best policy to pull the boat over instead of going directly into the water to catch people!
Ordinarily, even if other people couldn't react in a hurry, the boatmen would come up with this idea sooner or later, but Jia Zhen's words of "a reward of one hundred taels of silver for going into the water to save people" caught the attention of several boatmen, and made them all scramble to jump. into the water.

Wanting to understand this, Jia Zheng glared at Jia Zhen angrily, and urged, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you help Uncle Jiao punt!"

Hearing the words, all the noble slaves felt that they had a chance to redeem their sins, and rushed towards Jiao Shun like a rush.

"Stop for me!"

But Jiao Shun scolded angrily: "This thing is so clever, laymen will only get confused."

The slaves had no choice but to stop in disappointment, but there were also clever ones who quietly approached the side of the boat, and only waited for the cruise ship to approach before pulling people on board.

At this time, the women on the shore finally calmed down, holding their breath and stretching their necks, waiting for the cruise ship to break through the waves.

At that time, the fireworks on both sides of the strait had not dissipated, and under the fiery trees and silver flowers, I saw Jiao Shun, a burly figure, standing motionless on the bow of the boat, with his arms struggling with strength like a thousand catties, he alone urged the cruise ship to go upstream.

In the middle are seven or eight slaves who look like a foil, and at the stern are the cheering and high-spirited members of the Jia family who are useless from beginning to end.

I don't know how many women caught this strong contrasting picture, and imprinted it in the bottom of my mind.

Seeing the cruise ship approaching, the slaves rushed to pick up Xue Pan, and saw that this guy's stomach was round after drinking, and he rolled his eyes.

"Quick, let him spit out the water!"

"Pinch people, pinch people!"

"Pick your mouth, pick your mouth!"

"Let him lie on his stomach and spit on his stomach!"

Although Jia Zheng and the others had never done anything, the people who stood around and gesticulated were more busy than those who actually rescued them.

The slaves followed their master's instructions and rescued them in a mess, but there was no improvement for a while.

Jia Zheng stamped his feet in a hurry and rushed to the bank, shouting: "Quick, hurry up and find some dung water for backup!"

The women looked at each other when they heard the words, in order not to spoil the nobles, the toilets in this other courtyard have been banned since the twelfth lunar month, and now the cleaning is cleaner than ordinary people's homes, so what kind of excrement can be used?
There is one in the front yard, but after running all the way back and forth, I'm afraid Xue Pan might not be able to wait in time.

"Get off!"

At this time, Jiao Shun stood up again, angrily pushed those slaves aside, knelt down on one knee beside Xue Pan, let him lie on his lap, pressed his knees against his lower abdomen, and then put his hands on him. Press hard on your back.

"Wow! Uh... wow!"

Not long after, Xue Pan rolled his eyes and began to spray water out.

"Okay, okay, Uncle Xue spit it out!"

"Unfortunately, Uncle Jiao is here, otherwise..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did Haonu follow the same pattern to save the boatman who was trapped by Xue Pan.

As for the other two boatmen, they had climbed into the boat without making a sound, and were trying their best to row the boat to the shore where the woman was.

Not long after the cruise ship docked, just after setting up the gangplank, Aunt Xue staggered to the front, hugged Xue Pan and cried loudly: "My son, my son, you scared me to death just now!"

Xue Baochai followed closely behind, her eyes were also red, but she still maintained her usual composure, and solemnly gave Jiao Shun a deep salute: "Brother Jiao has shown kindness to my brother again, this great kindness will never be forgotten by our Xue family! "

It was the first time that Jiao Shun was so close to Baochai.

She is obviously only a few months older than Xing Xiuyan, but the figure of the woman in front of her is obviously much more mature, her facial features are also outstanding, but what attracts Jiao Shun the most is her delicate and moist skin , Naturally translucent, white and red, no matter how much you stare at it, you can't pick out any flaws!
what a pity……

It happened too late, otherwise Jia Baoyu wouldn't be disturbed by this wave of favorability.

Jiao Shun stared at Xue Baochai with regrets in his heart. Compared with Sister Lin who was sick and beautiful, this sister Bao, who was timid and looked like Concubine Yang, was obviously more to his appetite—as for Xiangyun, his figure should be ranked between the two in the future between.

Feeling the heat in Jiao Shun's gaze, Baochai lowered her eyebrows and turned her head to persuade, "Mom, let brother get off the boat quickly, and ask the doctor to see if there is any damage."

Only then did Aunt Xue come to her senses, she hurriedly got up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and motioned to the left and right to get Xue Pan off the boat.

She originally wanted to follow closely, but then she remembered that she hadn't thanked Jiao Shun for saving her life, so she hurried forward and grabbed Jiao Shun's hand without hesitation, shaking and saying, "Brother Shun, Thanks to having you here this time, otherwise, otherwise I would not be able to survive!"

This Aunt Xue's plumpness is still higher than that of her daughter, and her skin is also delicate and tender. She dare not say that she is on par with Baochai, but she is also better than Li Wan, who has been widowed for many years.

Regrettably for not being able to have close contact with Sister Bao, Jiao Shun secretly made amends in Aunt Xue's hand, but said righteously: "What are you talking about, you treat my mother like a sister, how can I Can you see Brother Xue as dead?"

"Good boy, good boy, I'm not in vain..."

Aunt Xue pulled Jiao Shun excitedly, wanting to say something more, but Mrs. Wang greeted from the shore: "Come down first, if you have anything to say to Chang Qing, it won't be too late!"

Then Aunt Xue explained that Jiao Shun had to go to the house after the incident, and then she chased Xue Pan off the boat.

At this time, Jia Zheng and other talents surrounded him again, first they praised Jiao Shun for his stability in the face of danger, and then they surrounded him and got off the cruise ship.

Because of the incident just now, when Jiao Shun got off the boat, everyone was watching him.

There were a few extra eager eyes, Jiao Shun sneaked a look, but it was Xing Shi, You Shi, and Li Wan.

The first two are very normal, but why is this Li Wan more eager than them?

It looked like he was going to swallow himself alive.

Jiao Shun was a little puzzled, didn't she make a fuss about breaking up with herself earlier?
At the beginning, he had such a poisonous tongue, and he scolded himself bloody in person.

Or maybe...

Is it because I misunderstood the meaning, this look is not eager, but the meaning of hatred?
Jiao Shun was suspicious, but he didn't know that Li Wan was standing there with strength, but the two were fighting straight up. He originally wanted to wait for Youshi to pimp him after visiting his relatives, but now he didn't want to wait for a moment.

I wish I could find a place where I betrayed someone right away, and complain to this enemy vigorously!
