The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 391 Outgrown branches [Part [-]]

On the night before leaving, Jiao Shun naturally wanted to leave it with Xing Xiuyan.

After returning from You's old house, the two of them started talking in bed together after washing up.

Usually Xing Xiuyan is more used to listening and then giving corresponding feedback, but this night she was uncharacteristically talking a lot.

If Jiao Shun didn't force her to stop talking about the present and imagining the future because she was afraid that she would be tired, she might be able to talk from the beginning of the night lights until dawn.

After finally coaxing Xing Xiuyan to sleep, for fear of accidentally touching her stomach, Jiao Shun barely slept that night, but fortunately this time he was going south by boat, there were plenty of opportunities to catch up on sleep on the way.

The cock crows at five o'clock.

Jiao Shun carefully replaced his slightly sore arm with a pillow, tried his best to tiptoe up, but still alarmed Xing Xiuyan.

Seeing her struggling to sit up, Jiao Shun hastily stretched out his hand to support her, persuading her, "There will always be a delay before going out, what are you rushing to do, what if you are tired? "

Xing Xiuyan smiled while protecting her belly, "I'm just by the side with my master, so I can get tired no matter where I am."

"That's fine."

Jiao Shun also knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he called Siqi and others into the house to wait for him to change and wash.

It's okay for others, Yu Chuan moved towards Jiao Shun as soon as she entered the door, she saw no one else, until Xing Xiuyan's side was tidied up, she was still reluctant to part with Jiao Shun.

Siqi couldn't see it, so he grabbed Yu Chuan's arm with his hands, pulled her aside, and scolded: "Auntie is too late to say anything, what are you doing here?"

Yu Chuan was in pain from being pulled by her, and due to the absolute suppression of force, he didn't dare to complain face to face, but secretly vowed to practice his stunts hard, and when the uncle returned to Beijing, he would be able to "lock" the man, and then the mother would rely on the son to be expensive again. It's not too late to clean up these hooves!

But Jiao Shun helped Xing Xiuyan outside, Laiwang Xu had already been waiting outside, even Jiao Da, who had been mentally weak for many days and seldom went out, was sitting crookedly on the railing leaning on the porch pillar.

Mrs. Xu pulled Xing Xiuyan to comfort her, for fear that her emotions would affect the child.

Laiwang, on the other hand, smashed the pipes and pots, and it took him a long time to say: "You are getting older, take care of yourself on the way."

Jiao Shun smiled: "Don't worry dad, I don't go out to sea with Master Hou and the others, I just go to Guangdong and Guangxi for a while."

"That's too far away!"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she immediately snapped up and said: "I heard that there is a lot of miasma and humidity there, and snakes, insects, rats and ants are all poisonous. If you go there, don't be brave. If you feel uncomfortable, go see a doctor. ,also……"

Jiao Shun listened to his mother's chatter, and the outside gradually became noisy. Not long after, Hongyu led Jia Yun in from outside, followed by a group of strong servants from the Rong family - this time going south, Jia Yun also followed, as for Rong Fu Jia Ding is responsible for carrying the luggage.

Jia Yun stepped on a little bit yesterday, so after seeing the two grandfathers and Mr. Jiao, she led the people to start loading the luggage on the car.

Shuan Zhu stared outside, and he stared inside, and quickly packed the luggage into the car by category.

A large family surrounded Jiao Shun and went out of the house. Seeing her son and husband getting into the car, Xu couldn't help but shed tears, but she was afraid that Xing Xiuyan's tire would be aroused, so she hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief. , but the more you rub it, the more you can't hide it.

At this time, the two book offices and five servants assigned by the Ministry of Industry to accompany them to the south also arrived one after another. They took four carriages from Rongfu and filed out. When they arrived at the east entrance of Rongning Street, they joined Jia Rong's carriage. , and Jia Baoyu, Jia Qiang, Xue Pan and others who saw him off.

Third Sister You took advantage of her elder sister, and also got a carriage to accompany her.

When we arrived at Dongzhimen [inner city], and then merged with the team of historians, it had already expanded to thirty or forty carts.

When passing by the East Bianmen, the lord and the general came again. I don’t know how many civil servants saw him off, and there was only Jia Yucun who was above the fifth rank. Secondly, he was also implicated by someone Jiao.

When more than sixty horse-drawn carriages arrived at the Datong Bridge Wharf, everyone else was busy getting out of the carriages to say goodbye, giving money, presenting poems, toasting, and only the third sister You standing on the shaft of the carriage, eager to see her. Look for the trace of Liu Xianglian.

Fortunately, she deliberately changed to be a book boy today, but it didn't attract too much attention.

Because Jia Baoyu found out early that this was the driver of You's family, after a few closer inspections he recognized Third Sister You's identity, so he hesitated and stopped in his tracks.

Xue Pan was talking to Wei Ruolan when he suddenly saw Jia Baoyu missing beside him. Looking back, he saw that he was staring at a school boy, and when he took a closer look, the school boy had red lips, white teeth, white eyebrows and clear eyes, a slender figure with glowing skin, In terms of physical appearance, he is not inferior to Qin Zhong of the past, and in terms of figure, he is even worse.

This big Xue head couldn't help seeing Lie Xinxi, stepped forward and bumped into Jia Baoyu's shoulder, winked and said: "Brother Bao has a good eye! Do you know which family he belongs to? I'll go and buy it, and we brothers will have fun at night." pastime!"

Talking carelessly, I will move forward.

Jia Baoyu hurriedly grabbed him and said angrily, "Brother Xue, be careful, that's sister-in-law Zhen's sister!"

Wei Ruolan also turned back at this time, and when she heard Jia Baoyu's words, she suddenly said, "Could it be that this is the third sister of the You family who is infatuated with Leng Erlang? When I saw it today, she really is a beauty!"

As he spoke, he glanced left and right for a few moments, wondering: "The beautiful woman is by your side, but why didn't you see Brother Liu?"

"This... ugh!"

Jia Baoyu sighed heavily, took out a letter from his sleeve with a bitter face, raised his eyes to look at Third Sister You who was full of hope, and then looked down at the letter signed with Liu Xianglian's name. Like a piece of hot potato, I deeply regret that I shouldn't go into this muddy water.

"WTF?"

Xue Pan brought his big head closer, saw the words 'Liu Xianglian' written on it, and then looked at Third Sister You dressed as a book boy, and smiled smartly: "This is the letter that Brother Liu entrusted you to send, right? Me, I'll give it to her for you!"

As he said that, he snatched it away with his hands, leaned towards the front of the car and said, "Sister You, I am entrusted by Brother Liu to deliver a letter to you, quickly take a look at what sour words are written in it. "

Before the words finished, Third Sister You jumped out of the car swiftly, she couldn't help but say that she was about to tear open the envelope after snatching the letter, but she suddenly realized that this was the first letter Liu Lang wrote to herself, so she hurriedly slowed down her movements , carefully picked a thin slit with his nails, pulled out the letter from the inside, and watched it word by word with his breath held.

Just looking at it, the joy and anticipation on her face froze, and the original smile and hope turned into a cold face.

Seeing this, Xue Pan was so curious that he was about to sneak around to Sanjie You to peek at the contents of the letter when he suddenly saw another beautiful girl flashing out of the car, and asked repeatedly: "Sister, did he get the letter?" What did you write?!"

But Second Sister You, who was snooping in the car, noticed something was wrong, so she didn't care about showing her publicity any more.

With her appearance, she attracted more than ten times more attention, which shows that most people's sexual orientation is still normal.

In the next second, the focus of everyone's attention was snatched back by Third Sister You, and she let out a mournful cry: "How dare he treat me like this?!"

Then he struggled to push away Xue Pan in front of him, stumbled but rushed to the shore without going forward.

"what are you doing?!"

Seeing this, Second Sister You wanted to get out of the car and chase after her. It was obvious that Xue Pan rushed forward to help her, but hurriedly retracted her long legs, and shouted: "Sister, sister! Come back quickly, what's the matter?" Let's plan long term..."

Before she could finish the word "planning in the long run", Third Sister You had already jumped from the shore!
On the trestle bridge, Jiao Shun was socializing with Shi Nai, when suddenly he heard a splash of water, followed by an uproar in the surrounding area.

Subconsciously looking at the reputation, he saw a figure in green clothes and a hat floating in the water. At first he thought it was because there were too many people on the shore, and some servants from some family were squeezed into the river.

Later, when he heard Second Sister You screaming in the car, Jia Baoyu also stamped his feet and beat his chest and shouted "terrific", and he suddenly reacted, and hurriedly directed the accompanying guards to rescue him.

Fortunately, it was summer this time, and the five servants got into the water without waiting for a big reward—the servants who were assigned to follow Jiao Shun to the south by boat were naturally proficient in water skills.

It's a good one.

Third Sister You, who struggled desperately and did not want to be rescued, was finally caught by the guards.

She drank a stomach full of water, and was exhausted due to her fierce resistance. When she landed on the shore, she was like a fish on a chopping board, slumped on the ground, coughing and twitching all over.

Jiao Shun broke away from the crowd and got closer to check on Third Sister You's situation, when suddenly Second Sister You rushed over and ran into his arms, entangled like an octopus, and cried out, "Master, you can't be scared just now." Kill me!"

tsk~
At this moment, Jiao Shun seemed to feel Shi Nai's probing eyes behind him.

It seems that the road is not even trying to be clean.

But the deal was done, and he didn't intend to push Second Sister You away. He patted her on the back and asked softly, "What's going on? Why is she suddenly about to jump into the water and commit suicide?"

"This...that letter..."

Second Sister You leaned her upper body back a little, looked down and saw that her younger sister's hands were empty, obviously throwing the letter into the water, and then turned her gaze to Xue Pan who was following.

Xue Pan was shy at first as a flower protector, but when he saw that Second Sister You and Jiao Shun were so close, he immediately lost his temper, but now he saw Second Sister You looking back, and hurriedly pointed to the side: "It's not me. , that letter is from Brother Bao!"

Everyone turned their attention to Jia Baoyu.

Jiao Shun coughed lightly, and said, "Put the third younger sister back to the carriage first, let her spit out the water before talking about anything else."

He asked Second Sister You in a low voice, because he didn't want to spread the reason why Third Sister You threw herself into the water.

After all, thinking with your toes, this matter is inseparable from love and love. If it is made public, it will definitely deal a further blow to Third Sister You's reputation-the reason for saying further is that no matter what, jumping into the river in public to commit suicide would be It has affected her reputation.

Unexpectedly, Second Sister You failed to realize this point.

But this also proves from the side that she didn't intend to announce the relationship between the two in front of Shi Nai, but she was simply forgotten for a while after being frightened.

Jiao Shun ordered people to invite a doctor nearby, and at the same time called the servants of Ningguo Mansion, and carried Third Sister You back to the carriage—speaking of which, this old lady You was really cruel, and she didn't come to see her off.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quietly pulled Jia Baoyu aside and asked why.

Just now Jia Baoyu was screaming and beating his chest and stamping his feet on the bank, but now his voice was hoarse, and he swallowed and explained in a harsh voice: "Brother Liu and Qiguan left yesterday, and they said they would meet again on the way. Lord Hou met, and before leaving, he left a letter for sister You, asking me to hand it over to her again today, I, I don't know what was written in it."

After a pause, he added: "Brother Liu actually didn't want to drag the sister of the You family all the time. He said that he is a good man with ambitions everywhere. What would it be like to drag his family and lead his mouth?"

tsk~
Jiao Shun had long felt that Liu Xianglian was not very active about this, but he did not expect that he would choose to go south in advance in order to avoid Third Sister You.

As for what was written in the letter, it is not important anymore.

At this time, the servant of Baolinghou's mansion was ordered to come and invite Jiao Shun to board the boat as soon as possible, saying that the auspicious time for departure had passed, and it was not good to delay for too long.

Jiao Shun had no choice but to comfort Second Sister You through the car window, and stuffed a 500 tael banknote into it, asking her to take it to Third Sister You for treatment and nourishment.

Trying to be as simple as possible, it was already a quarter of an hour when she returned to the boat after saying goodbye to the reluctant Second Sister You.

Shi Nai obviously had some grievances about Cai's affairs, so he ignored Jiao Shun with a cold face, and Jiao also wisely ignored him.

He didn't really care about Shi Nai's perception. First, he was not a serious father-in-law, but only the uncle of his future wife. Second, when he got to the south, Shi Nai still had a lot of things to rely on him for, so he would naturally have the opportunity to bridge the relationship.

On the other hand, Shi Xiangyun...

When the news reached her ears, she didn't know what the little girl would think.

It's better to edit a book first, and send it to the Rongguo Mansion as soon as possible, so as to cover it up first.

Thinking of this, Jiao Shun hurriedly begged Shi Nai to delay sailing, ran to the cabin and took out the Four Treasures of the Study, scratching his ears and cheeks for half an hour before he wrote an emotional letter.

Then, in the name of atonement, he arrested Jia Baoyu's young man, and his heart became more at ease.

As soon as the fleet was informed that it was time to set sail, someone on the shore shouted loudly: "Master Jiao, Mr. Jiao, please move slowly, please move slowly!"

Jiao Shun heard it very familiarly, and followed the prestige, but saw Qin Siwu from the Department of Affairs Department separated from the crowd and squeezed to the front of the boat, cupping his hands across the gangplank and saying, "It's good that my lord didn't leave, because there is a case involving you—— Lord Shangshu means that if you haven't left the capital yet, you might as well postpone it for a few days and wait until the matter is clarified before leaving."

Jiao Shun thumped in his heart.

Secretly thought, could it be that the imperial businessman is begging for his life at this time?

But after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. Even if the imperial merchants asked the court for orders, there were still many procedures to go through, and they would not be implicated in themselves all at once.

Besides, this matter is not a public case, is it?

"I don't know what the case is?"

"Is this..."

Just listen to that Qin Siwu said: "I don't know exactly how humble the position is. I only heard that someone went to Dali Temple to show up and report that the officials of the Ministry of Rites secretly encouraged the workers to make trouble, trying to use this opportunity to slander the lord and tamper with the ancestral system to induce civil unrest!
