It was evening of the day.

Because he had an agreement with Liu Xianglian and had handled the official duties in the yamen, Jiao Shun left the Ministry of Works half an hour earlier.

As soon as I got on the car in front of the corner gate, I saw more than a dozen knights with high noses and deep eye sockets surrounded by a European four-wheeled carriage swaying across the Qianbulang Street, which made pedestrians point fingers and talk.

Shuanzhu sat on the shaft of the chariot, turning his head like a sunflower, watching the Cossack cavalry disappear and make friends, and then he said astonished: "How can the foreign devils from Uxi get such good horses?"

"That's not from Ushi, but from the Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north."

Jiao Shun explained casually.

Since the Xia and Ukraine reached peace talks in June, the number of foreign envoys in the capital has increased. In addition to the Western barbarians in the continent, there are also many indigenous people from the South China Sea.

The former came to establish diplomatic relations and trade with the crowd, while the latter was mostly to hold on to the thighs and hoped to use the power of the Xia Dynasty to resist the invasion of the Western Barbarians.

The Rakshasa Kingdom is undoubtedly the former, but in addition to establishing diplomatic relations and doing business, they also formally proposed to purchase a batch of standard arms from the Xia Kingdom.

There is a lot of controversy among the court.

Most officials feel that such a powerful weapon of military and nationality should not be easily given to others - especially this Rakshasa Kingdom is different from the European countries, and it is a land neighbor of Daxia.

But a small number of people believe that during the Xiawu War, our country's firearms had already flowed into the Uxi Kingdom, and they would inevitably be imitated on a large scale in three or two years.

So you might as well take advantage of this period to exchange for some benefits, and at the same time, you also require the Rakshasa people to only place these weapons in the territory of Europe to compete with the European countries so as to cause trouble to the west.

Many of these minorities know that the Ministry of Works is developing new guns.

However, because this matter is not easy to leak, the objections are still the ones who have opposed it.

Of course, these things are not much related to Jiao Shun at the moment. Only when the purchase matters are determined will he represent the Ministry of Industry discuss specific matters.

Nothing to say along the way.

About two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the Qingxu Temple Gate.

Jiao Shun and Liu Xianglian made an appointment to welcome guests not far away. First, they were greedy for the delicious side dishes in the shop, and second, they were also routinely going to this Qingxu Temple to search for the golden kilin in the original work so that they could keep it.

Backhand.

Because he had never thought about it carefully, the Taoists almost regarded it as a sucker and bought a lot of useless Qilins to go home.

Later, Jiao Shun learned his lesson and asked Li Wan to quietly draw the appearance of the golden qilin, saying that he wanted to find the tokens left by his ancestors, and marked them with high prices in Qingxu Temple, and check the authenticity one or two times a month.

.

Unfortunately, I have not gained much.

And this time it was still a waste of time.

Fortunately, Jiao Shun has been used to it, so he is not very disappointed.

After leaving Qingxu Temple, he turned to welcome guests.

I glanced at the store and heard that Liu Xianglian had arrived half a quarter of an hour ago and was now waiting in the private room.

Jiao Shun ordered a few special dishes and brought the good wine he had exchanged from Rongguo Mantao. Shi Shiran found the private room elegant seat.

After greeting each other, Liu Xianglian was not a slow-moving person. She immediately asked straight to the point: "Brother, this new official, took his time to find me out in his busy schedule. Is there anything I need to give? Surili Duocheng's care,

If I can help, I will never say anything!”

Jiao Shun should have asked him out long ago.

But firstly, it is indeed busy with official business, but secondly, it is always unsure of whether to interfere with it, which ruins his destiny marriage with You Sanjie.

Now that as soon as I entered the door, I heard his confession with my sword at the same time. Thinking about his dirty thoughts, Jiao Shun couldn't help feeling ashamed, so he stopped tangling and smiled and said, "I'm looking for a good thing for me to come."

As he said that, he told You Sanjie's background, chance encounter, and thoughts.

Finally, she emphasized: "Although this girl You is still young, she is a stunning beauty. She is expected to grow up in a few years or two. But she fell in love with her brother at first sight. Isn't this just what her brother has been doing in his life.

beg?"

After hearing this, Liu Xianglian frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "So, is she a relative of Ningguo Mansion? But I heard about the reputation of that mansion..."

This is exactly where Jiao Shun can interfere from it.

But now that he has made up his mind, he will not deliberately praise and criticize You Sanjie's character.

She smiled and said, "She is indeed a bit lively and outgoing, but she is a strong man. If no one is guiding her in the past or two years, it will be delayed. But as long as she has a good brother to help her train, she will not be affected by the messy Ningguo Mansion.

Activity.”

"this……"

After hearing Jiao Shun's words, Liu Xianglian was obviously a little moved.

But after pondering for a while, he shook his head and said, "I am still wanted by the court now, let alone..."

"What's more?"

"Besides, I intend to go to Europa for a while, it will take at least three or four years to turn around. The mountains and rivers are high and far away. I may not be able to lose these 100 kilograms outside. How dare I delay the future of the girl?"

"You're going to travel to Europa?"

Jiao Shun couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't it because you shot down the flag of Wuxi Country with one arrow that you were wanted by the court on the list? Why are you...?"

Liu Xianglian said embarrassedly: "I was so idle in Beijing Prince's Mansion that I asked the prince to search for the translations of Western Yi to relieve my boredom. Only then did I realize that the barbarians were actually quite a bit crooked. No wonder they almost came to the capital.

”

"Later I thought that the left and right were wanted by the court and could not walk around at will in the country. Why not take this opportunity to go to Europa to know yourself and your enemy? If there is any war in the future, you can help the court."

As he said that, he solemnly bowed to Jiao Shun: "Please thank this girl You for your wrong love for me. It's a pity that I have no actions or virtues, and I really have no blessings to bear it."

Tsk ~

It is rare to want to be a good person again, but I never thought that I would make a fuss again.

Jiao Shun tried to persuade him a few more times, but when he saw that Liu Xianglian was very determined and full of ambitions to support the country with her own ambitions, he had to give up.

After that, the two of them did not mention the matter of You Sanjie. They only used the special side dishes delivered by the store to chat about wild and strange stories. They did not drink and parted with the banquet until they were late at night.

…………

However, Jiao Shun returned home with a few drunken feelings. Seeing that the hall was brightly lit, he was about to go over and say peace to his parents. However, he was knocking Qingwen out of it.

Qingwen was so smelling all over his alcohol, she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with the back of her hand, and said disgusted: "There are guests at home. I'm going back and coming back, so be careful not to pickle them up."

Previously, Jiao Shun took Mingyan to the house for wine by Shuntian Mansion and took her to the house for a while. She was half-swer and half-hearted and happy for another night. Qingwen has since untied some knots, although she is not as romantic as Baoyu's side.

Agile, but when I see Jiao Shunshi again, I will at least be a little more vivid.

Jiao Shun took a step back and said curiously: "Who is in the house?"

"Who else can it be? Of course, Sister Ping is here again."

Qingwen said, raised the teapot in her hand at him: "Mrs. I'm rushing back to the house to serve you, so I won't say much to you."

As he said that, he waited to bypass Jiao Shun and headed to the kitchen.

Jiao Shun stopped her sideways and smiled and said, "It's time to serve her well! Wu'er is useless. Please take more responsibility in front of your wife. When our new house is built, you can't do anything without you.

benefit."

"Who cares about it!"

Qingwen glanced at Jiao Shun, then a little disappointed flashed across her face, and she kept her head around Jiao Shun's path.

It seems that this knot in the heart has not been completely untied, and it will take a long time to complete it.

Jiao Shun laughed softly, turned around and returned to the east wing, greeting Xiangling and Yuchuan for helping to change clothes and wash.

Taking advantage of Xiangling's time to fetch water, Yuchuan inquired sourly: "I'm just outside, are you talking to Sister Qingwen?"

She originally looked at Qingwen as a passerby, so she had been together in harmony before.

But seeing Jiao Shun taking Qingwen, he couldn't help but feel threatened.

Xiangling is an indisputable person, but Qingwen is famous for being a monster in the house, and her figure and appearance are above her...

How come Jiao Shun doesn’t know what she is thinking?

He immediately picked it up horizontally and threw it hard on the bed.

"ah!"

Yuchuan shouted arrogantly and said, "Sister Ping'er is still waiting in the main hall."

But his body was honestly spread out and he was posing as if he wanted to get into the trap.

Without saying a word, Jiao Shun stepped forward and lifted the corner of her skirt, peeled down the silk stockings, and tied a cold thing to her tender white ankles.

"What?"

Yuchuan hurriedly got up to see, but saw that it was a thin gold chain decorated with red agate buckle. When the candlelight was shining, the rabbit's eyes were warm and heart-warming.

She looked up in surprise and was about to ask about the origin, but Jiao Shun covered her mouth: "Only you have this unique one, don't say it out."

Yuchuan nodded vigorously, feeling very proud, so she temporarily left the jealousy behind her.

He stood up and covered his ankles, served Jiao Shun with a tenderness to change his coat, and washed him a little.

Jiao Shun then went to the main hall to meet the guests.

Because Ping'er comes to urge him every now and then, even Xu knew her purpose, so Jiao Shun didn't have to worry about it and said to Ping'er directly: "Sister Lao goes back and tells the second grandma that the second master Lian does plan to give one recently.

The Qing Gong redeemed his life, but because he had not found the place to settle for a while, he had never really redeemed the person."
Chapter completed!
