Chapter 316(1/2)

"Stay!"

But Jiao Shun came back from the Sanya and just entered his yard gate, a jade bracelet flashed out of the door.

She brought Jiao Shun to the corner in a daze, and then she said with a voice: "My aunt's mother is here, and she is crying in the house now."

Since she "selled" her daughter and got a silver mansion, Xing Zhong has been traveling around in the name of doing business investigations. As a result, she has not done any serious work for the past six months, and she has spent money on it for many years and is not young.

The bad habits of gambling and eating flower wine are even worse.

The couple had a fight over this for two or three months. Yesterday, Xing Zhong was annoyed and pressed his wife on the bed with alcohol at night and beat her up.

My mother's home is far south, and Xing Zhong's wife cried and told her that she had no way to go, so she naturally found her daughter.

Jiao Shun frowned and asked, "When did people come?"

Yuchuan hurriedly said, "It's been about two quarters of an hour since I'm here. Look, this attitude should be for the master, so my aunt asked me to wait outside and explain the matter clearly to me first."

"Then what?"

Jiao Shun asked again: "What else did the aunt say?"

"The next one said nothing."

Yuchuan looked at Jiao Shun's face and said boldly: "Since ancient times, honest officials have difficulty in severing family affairs. If they quarrel, they should not be bothered by the me. If they follow me, I might as well go out to hide.

Forget it with tranquility.”

In Yuchuan's opinion, although Aunt Xing is in power at home, she is not a serious mistress after all. The Xing Zhong and his wife are not even serious in-laws. Since they don't even count as serious in-laws, what qualifications do they have to come to the Jiao family to cry?

Anyway, if she became an aunt, she would never let her mother get into trouble. If she came, she would have to send her away immediately, so as not to let the old man feel unhappy when he saw it.

Jiao Shunheng glanced at Yuchuan, then raised his legs and walked in without saying a word.

In theory, Xing’s mother shouldn’t have been disturbed, but in theory, Xing Xiuyan shouldn’t have been a concubine for herself. Since she was exposed to her parents’ unreliable cheapness, she was hard to leave now.

When he entered the east wing, he saw Xing's mother sitting opposite her daughter on the Arhat bed, crying and wiping tears.

Seeing Jiao Shun coming in outside, the mother and daughter both got up to greet each other.

Before they could speak, Jiao Shun first waved his hand and asked straight to the point: "I probably heard about the matter. Is the money in your family now in your hands or his hands?"

"this……"

Xing's mother was urging her daughter to pour bitterness for her so that Jiao Shun could manage her husband. Who would have thought that Jiao Shun suddenly asked about this? She was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "In him."

In my hands, I usually buy groceries and cook with me.”

"Then how much silver he has in his hands?"

"I don't know, probably, there should be not much left. Last time I heard that he and his son-in-law went out to see the world, and he spent more than thirty taels of silver in one night!

When Xing's mother said this, she exaggeratedly raised three fingers, intending to highlight her husband's excessive splurge in front of Jiao Shun.

Unexpectedly, Jiao Shun had no reaction at all, and continued to ask: "Do you recognize words? Can you calculate a simple account?"

The sky and the ground made Xing's mother completely confused and subconsciously threw her eyes at her daughter for help.

"mother."

Although he didn't understand what Jiao Shun meant, Xing Xiuyan still reached out and held his mother's hand and said softly: "What are our master asking, what are you asking?"

Xing's mother said again: "When I was a child, I learned the article on the 100-character family surnames. When I was doing business at home, I also learned to manage accounts, but I didn't manage it very well."

"Then I'll ask someone to arrange for you to go to the Nanshi Silk Factory in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do a small manager?"

Jiao Shun then realized his intention: "I usually eat and live in the factory, and I am surrounded by female workers. The eunuchs stationed in the palace are in charge of the affairs of the palace. There are three days off every month, and the wages are two taels and seven cents of silver, and I don't pay during the New Year's Festival.

Unexpectedly, I would also give you a few feet of silk cloth to make in the palace, and I could also get three or four taels of silver outside. It would not be considered an additional investment in a year, but it would be about forty taels."

Only then did Xing's mother realize that Jiao Shun actually wanted to introduce herself to an errand.

She was stunned again and stammered for a while: "This errand is a very good job, but... I really can't rest assured to let Xiu Yan's father be alone at home."

Not to mention a woman's family, a well-educated man wants to find a man with food and accommodation. It is not that easy to have a job worth 40 taels of silver every year - not to mention that this is an official job, so it is also a job for others.

But career-oriented women are not popular these days, let alone Xing's mother who has been following the rules for half a lifetime?

When I heard that I wanted to leave my husband and live outside forever, my future would not be as good as my husband.

"Can you feel at ease at home?"

Jiao Shun asked without hesitation: "The money is in his hands, and you have to ask for the cost of food and drink. What should you use to restrain him? If a few words of verbal criticism can work, why should you be beaten by him.

Beat it?"

Seeing Xing's mother lowering her head awkwardly, Jiao Shun slowed down slightly: "Since things are starting to go, you might as well leave him for a while and make some money by the way - wait for what he has left.

If you spend all your money, you will be comfortable at home during the holidays, so you will be rewarded with a few taels of silver for use. If you are uncomfortable, you will buy some rice and flour to keep it. If you don’t starve to death, you will be able to do it.”

"This, how does this make..."

When Xing's mother heard this, she widened her eyes: "This is absolutely impossible, it is absolutely impossible!"

This completely inverted statement of male superiority and female inferiority completely violated Xing's mother's three views. As she spoke, she shook her head and waved her hands repeatedly, and she seemed to think that this approach was really a rebellious one.

"If you can't do it, forget it."

Jiao Shun heard her rejection, but she had no intention of continuing to persuade him. She explained to Xing Xiuyan: "I was entrusted by my colleagues to send a message to Uncle Zhengshi, so I won't eat at home in the evening."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Xing's mother didn't expect that he would leave as soon as he said he would leave, and she was at a loss for a moment.

Xing Xiuyan protected her stomach and sent Jiao Shun out of the door.

Jiao Shun originally thought she wanted to say a few words to her, but Xing Xiuyan didn't mention what happened just now. While sorting out the collar for him, she reported: "Miss Shi asked someone to pass on the message in the afternoon, and said that she would go back to Hou tomorrow.

It's home."

"It's been a month, so I should have come to pick it up long ago."

Jiao Shun was a little puzzled: "Why did it delay this time?"

It was fine in the past, but now the Shi family is eager to wait for the money to be put into the pot, but it has been delayed for more than a month before picking Shi Xiangyun up home. This is unreasonable no matter how you think about it.

Xing Xiuyan shook her head slightly: "Miss Shi didn't say anything. If you think something is wrong, you might as well inquire with Master Zheng first."

"Well, I know."

Jiao Shun nodded and pointed inside and said, "If you can persuade me, please persuade me. If you really can't persuade me, let me go first. I will have my own concerns in the future."

Xing Xiuyan responded softly, with a little embarrassment on her face and her red lips slightly opened, but she still said nothing.

These family matters were dealt with.

Jiao Shun was too lazy to go back to the house to change his official robe, so he went around to the entrance of the second gate and asked the servant who was guarding the door to go in and communicate.

Soon, the maid in Aunt Zhao's house greeted her and directly led Jiao Shun to the wing where Aunt Zhao was.

Jiao Shun is still coming back from this area. In terms of the layout, it is not as bright as the main hall, but many of the furniture inside seem to be different.

No!

It’s not like the difference, but the same!

If Jiao Shun was not wrong, these things were clearly moved from the main hall.

Jia Zheng was sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed, with a few wine and dishes placed on the kang table in front of him. It seemed that he had been drinking for a while.

"Chang Qing is here, sit down and have a few drinks with me."

Jia Zheng pointed to the opposite side with some contempt, and shouted impatiently: "What's going on? It's going to take a wine glass for half a day!"

"Here, here! I'm afraid that there are no maids to wash it clean. I deliberately scalded it with hot water again."

While agreeing, Aunt Zhao personally brought out a green jade cup from the inside, her steps swaying, and her head was full of pearls and jade.

These clothes, hairstyles, and accessories are obviously invasive, but Jia Zheng ignored them. It seems that although Aunt Zhao failed to achieve her goal completely, she still successfully took advantage of Mrs. Wang's opportunity to make a name for herself.

Snatch the shift and seize power.

Just as she was thinking, Aunt Zhao put the wine glass on the table and took advantage of the opportunity to turn her back to Jia Zheng, she raised her eyebrows provocatively at Jia Shun.

Jiao Shun was a little confused at the beginning, but soon realized that she was still resenting her refusal to refuse marriage, so after she became 'attack', she couldn't wait to show off her power.

Originally, Jiao Shun was too lazy to pay attention to this shallow provocation, but when she recalled the fact that she poisoned and cursed her almost killed Mrs. Wang’s aunt and nephew, her vigilance suddenly increased to the peak.

So he hurriedly said that he was taking medicine recently and it was not convenient to drink. Even the dishes were only picked up the food that Jia Zheng had tasted. Aunt Zhao is now in power and relies on Jia Zheng's favor, so she wouldn't have cheated with Jia Zheng, right?

After a few greetings, Jiao explained his purpose.

When he learned that it was the old boss who was waiting and hoped that he would go to the yamen to handle the handover as soon as possible, Jia Zheng couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Now because of that stupid woman, there are all things she says outside, how can I have the right to go out to meet people?



Originally, Jiao Shun didn't have much sympathy for Mrs. Wang, but after Aunt Zhao's provocation just now, he couldn't help but say good things to Mrs. Wang: "Uncle Shi is too worried. The current trend is open, and it is spread from the family of officials.

Romantic...Well, when did the strange things happen? Besides, my aunt is just dressed in a bit out of style, and she doesn't have to wear it for outsiders to see it. She is wrong and is wrong..."

"Since it's not for outsiders to see, what's she doing with her blue sky and sun?"

Jia Zheng angrily drank a big glass, then slapped the wine glass on the table, and said angrily: "If it weren't for such an unfair and unfair manner, just being possessed by evil spirits, why would it be a turmoil in the city? After all, it's still

She was so unpredictable on weekdays that she had caused such bad consequences!”
