【Two in one chapter】

But he said that Jiao Shun had finished his breakfast and walked around the yard more than twenty times.

Because he felt that his body was not as light and agile as before, he became wary. In his previous life, he died of drunkenness and sex.

Although we have gained a good foundation in this life, we cannot continue to waste it in vain.

So he reluctantly changed his days to three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, and vowed to exercise every day to make this love last forever.

When he got excited, he took off his brown bear-like cloak and started playing around in the house.

Because he felt that practicing alone was boring, he called Xiangling again, and Yuchai'er came closer, either pressing his legs or pushing his buttocks. Every thirty or fifty times, he imitated Baoyu and tasted some rouge, which was quite interesting.

After half an hour, I was sweating all over my body.

So he took Xiang Ling and Yu Chuan'er to the inner room to change clothes, and also took advantage of the opportunity to 'grab' a small coat to wipe off the sweat.

Among them, the beauty is not enough for outsiders to appreciate.

While they were having fun here, a servant woman reported through the door and window that someone from the East Mansion was sending something.

Jiao Shun's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Silver Butterfly had arrived.

Immediately he hurriedly moved his hands up and down, and got the jade hairpin, Xiangling hairpin and two hairpins scattered sideways, and also wiped the makeup on their faces.

Then, while the two of them were cleaning up the mess, they packed up the things they had prepared and went alone to the outer hall to summon Yindie.

The Silver Butterfly had become "transparent" the day before yesterday, and after returning home, she was seduced by Youshi. This time, she didn't feel any trepidation or flinch when she came back. She cast her watery eyes around as soon as she entered the door, her beautiful nose, red lips, and emerald green eyebrows.

It was obvious that he had come dressed carefully.

Jiao Shun had always been a sick person, but now that he saw her like this, he had long forgotten all about cultivating his moral character. What a waste of three days and two days, he just wished he could work day and night.

Then he stepped forward and took her little hand, and whispered: "There are a lot of inconveniences at home now, you first..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as we started talking, there was a report from outside that Jia Lian brought Brother Rong and Brother Qiang from Dongfu to visit us.

With just this sound, the color drained from Yindie's face, and she hurriedly broke away from Jiao Shun's claws, her slender body trembling forward and backward.

Although Jiao Shun was shocked, he was a veteran in Fengyue Field after all. He calmed down and held Yindie's pointy chin, and chuckled: "Why are you panicking? If I really came to catch you, I'd be fine."

It can’t be Second Master Lian who takes the lead—besides, we haven’t done anything yet.”

As he said that, he took out the things he had already memorized from his arms and put them into her hands, and whispered a few words in her ear carefully.

Then he left Silver Butterfly behind, picked up the curtain and walked into the courtyard.

After he didn't want to go out, he saw that the atmosphere in the courtyard was quite solemn. However, when Jiao Da heard that Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were coming, he came out of the hall and stared at them coldly, making them feel very uncomfortable.

"Father."

Jiao Shun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "It's very cold outside in the sky, but you still..."

"Hmph~"

Before he could finish his words, Jiao Da said, "Do you think I'm crazy about looking at these two donkey dung eggs?", turned around, picked up the curtain and returned to the main room.

The old man is still so tough.

Jiao Shun chuckled secretly and turned back to Jia Rong. Jia Qiang said: "My two brothers also know my adoptive father's temperament and temperament. Remember that he is already old, so don't argue with him."

What can Jia Rong and Jia Qiang say?

They just look like a pair of tender-skinned idiots with sad faces.

In the end, it was Jia Lian who took over the conversation, rolled up his sleeves and said: "What does this mean? They are determined not to be annoyed - let's discuss business quickly. I have to go to the governor's house for a drink in the afternoon."

Jiao hurriedly let the group of people into the main hall.

Taking advantage of this opening, Yindie in the east chamber also covered most of his face with a handkerchief, walked around to the front door against the wall, and left quietly.

However, after the guests and hosts were seated, Jiao Shun shouted to the ladies to serve tea, and then he asked Jia Lian and others about the purpose of their visit.

"According to the second master's wish."

Jia Lian then said: "I want to wait until Brother Shun has some free time before setting a date to break ground. In addition to asking you to help with supervision, it would be best to invite a few craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to help."

The master of our house is the master."

"It's not about hard work, that's what the second master said."

Because this must be unavoidable, Jiao Shun did not shirk at all, and immediately agreed: "Allow me half a day to deal with the official affairs in the yamen. By then, I will have to squeeze out two days to follow."

Second Master, please join in the fun."

After a pause, he continued: "As for finding a craftsman to come over and take care of things, it's easy. The chief of my handyman's office is a famous craftsman who has been proficient in civil engineering, mountain and stone, and has been in charge of and co-organized many projects.

I will invite him to come then."

"Otherwise, the second master would have thought of you first."

When Jia Lian heard this, he clapped his hands and smiled and said, "It's cheaper than us to be an official in the Ministry of Industry!"

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang also joined in and said a few pleasant words.

Everyone chatted and laughed again and set a date to start construction. Jiao Shun remembered what he had promised Xiangling before, and said: "It is difficult to start construction in winter. It is better to prepare wood and stones first, demolish pavilions and pavilions, and wait for spring to complete the construction."

The remaining treasures have been circled, and the rest will be transplanted elsewhere."

"This will save a lot of manpower, and secondly, it will give the house a good reputation. Wouldn't it be better to spend all our efforts in vain during the winter?"

After saying that, he pointed to the courtyard and said: "My courtyard is very pristine. It will be a good time to move some unwanted flowers and plants from the house."

What Jiao Shun said was reasonable, not to mention that he claimed to take some advantage, so Jia Lian would not refute his opinion.

So it was decided that in March next year, all the people in the government would be able to dig and transplant the trees on their own. This would be regarded as a good policy and welfare for everyone.

After seeing off Jia Lian and others, Jiao Shun turned around and told Xiang Ling about the incident. He was so happy that this crazy girl kept saying something like "The green, fat, red and thin spring will go back".

Yuchuan'er said bitterly at the side: "Because the uncle always asks her to copy this and record that. Recently, she has read a few books randomly, and she has picked up her accent."

Jiao Shun feigned anger and said, "You girl only know how to recite poems, but why don't you know how to thank me?"

However, Xiangling took it seriously and prostrated herself on the spot, saying that since the uncle had protected these many flowers and plants, she would obey him no matter what.

Looking at the kind and serious look on her face, it was obvious that the fault had been promised to others, and Jiao Shun had to put all the tricks on her that she usually refused to obey before he would give up.

At the moment, he just wrapped himself in his arms and said righteously: "It's just because I love you that I have such a pure and kind heart, so I have worked hard to achieve it, but how can I get anything in return?"

Although Xiangling was always gentle and well-behaved, it was not until this moment that she was completely willing to trust her sincerely.

Since then, I have been serving with more and more dedication.

But she said that Jiao Shun had been chatting with her for a long time. Seeing that it was almost noon, he said that he had made an appointment to eat out with someone and reluctantly left the east chamber.

When he arrived in the courtyard, he was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he first went to the east chamber and arranged many errands for Shuanzhu to ensure that he would be busy from noon to evening. Then he went to Shiran with his hands behind his back.

.

As I walked eastward along the back street, I bumped into a lot of people I didn't know, and I took the initiative to say hello to them.

Jiao Shun responded solemnly or casually according to his clothes.

When he arrived at the intersection, he saw Qian Qi, the steward of the mansion, driving back with several donkey carts. He casually asked, "What are you doing, steward Qian?"

"Ouch~"

Qian Qiyuan was riding on a braying donkey. When he saw Jiao Shun greeting him, he hurriedly rolled up his saddle and dismounted the donkey and trotted towards him. He laughed and said, "I didn't see you just now. It's really a sin of a villain."

Then he pointed to the car behind him and said, "Isn't this the government's plan to make summer ice again? I was specially ordered to find the winter chrysanthemums and wintersweets in these cars and mix them with spices."

Recalling that last summer, he had gone on an errand to buy summer ice, Jiao Shun felt a little dazed for a moment.

After a long while, he raised his chin again: "How about you choose the ones you choose and sell them to me?"

"What are you talking about?"

Qian Qi hurriedly said: "How about you choose a car yourself, and I will send it to your home right now."

Jiao Shun waved his hand and said, "You won't need so much. Just give me half a basket."

Qian Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly found a clean cloth bag, selected some chrysanthemums himself, and filled most of it with wintersweet.

Then he asked for instructions: "Shall I send someone to follow you?"

"No, I'm going to a private banquet. It's not convenient for me to bring someone with me."

Jiao Shun just picked up the cloth bag, regardless of whether his current status was suitable, and went around and around to find the Donghutong wine shop.

Shopkeeper Qi in this store is also an old acquaintance. Now that he sees Jiao Shun again, he doesn't dare to show off his old friendship. He rushes to greet Jiao Shun with auspicious words and reaches out to take the cloth bag.

Jiao Shun retracted his pocket and ordered: "Prepare a good banquet on the table and have Shuangquan delivered to my old house at noon [one o'clock in the afternoon] - I'm still busy, so I won't say anything more to you."

Already."

"Hey, hey!"

The shopkeeper Qi responded repeatedly and sent him out of the house in fear. He said "Good riddance, sir" a few more times, then hurried back to the kitchen and ordered the cook to work hard on the stove.

Jiao Shun carried the cloth bag again and wandered to the back alley of Ningrong.

Although the Jiao family now lives in the back door of Rong Mansion, the old house here has not been taken back, so it was arranged for Granny Hu's grandparents to occupy it - their grandparents had to serve the Jiao family during the day, so they

He only came back in the evening.
