This afternoon.

After seeing off the last group of guests, Jiao Shun was watching his daughter with his eyes closed, when he suddenly received a message from the Xue family, saying that they had an appointment with him to discuss matters at their old house on Zijin Street tomorrow night after the office.

Jiao Shun thought that when he teased Aunt Xue before, although she had not responded directly, she did not refuse firmly. It was obvious that her heart had been relaxed, so he was gearing up to take the opportunity to go further.

And when Xing Xiuyan heard that he told him that he would go to Zijin Street for an appointment tomorrow and would probably not come back for dinner in the evening, he stopped talking.

Jiao Shun naturally understood why she was like this, and he also thought that nearly a month had passed since Qixi Festival when he designed the wonderful jade, so it was time to go over and check the results.

It would be best if we can achieve double happiness. If not, we can still make some preparations.

After some shameless calculations, he sighed: "Well, you don't have to be embarrassed. I just go to the temple to have a look. I don't know how lucky that fake nun has been through several lifetimes, but she got to know someone like you."

A friend in need."

As he said that, he suddenly put his head out and pecked Xing Xiuyan on the face, and said with a smile: "But I am the most blessed one."

"Master~"

Seeing that her uncle was so considerate, Xing Xiuyan was moved and put her head on Jiao Shun's shoulder. After a while, she got up again, took out a string of agarwood and jade Buddhist beads from the makeup box, and handed it to Jiao Shun: "Her temperament, I'm afraid

I may not be willing to accept my kindness, but this string of Buddhist beads..."

As she said that, she couldn't help but sigh: "She had given me a similar string before, but unfortunately she pawned it to make money before going to Beijing. I asked Si Qi to buy this string. I just said it was a gift."

If it returns to its original owner, she will probably accept it."

Although this string of Buddhist beads doesn't look very valuable, it shouldn't be a problem to exchange for about ten taels of silver, which somewhat disrupts Jiao Shun's plan.

But seeing how Xing Xiuyan put so much thought into it, how could he bear to refuse?

Not to mention that the plan was disrupted, even if Miaoyu used the money as a means of payment and flew away, what would happen?

Immediately, he took the bracelet and sighed: "It's really hard for you to spend so much time on it."

Then he couldn't help complaining: "Obviously she brought it upon herself, and now we are rushing to help, but we have to take care of her face, and she has taken advantage of everything in the world!"

"It's all my fault, I have been wronged."

"It's not a matter of grievance, but you still have to collect some interest."

As Jiao Shun spoke, he wrapped Xing Xiuyan in his arms.

Xing Xiuyan was choked by his embrace, and struggled hurriedly: "I can't help it, the full moon hasn't passed yet, don't be embarrassed! It's better to wait until tomorrow..."

"Why didn't you pass?"

Jiao Shun sniffed her like a dog and said forcefully: "Zhixia was born during the day, and she is already a full moon now. Since she is a full moon, it is time for us to be consummated."

Xing Xiuyan couldn't resist him, so she only agreed half-heartedly, but she was worried that her daughter was nearby, so she said shyly: "Then, don't do it in this room."

After hearing this, Jiao Shun picked her up and went to the north room without saying a word.

evening.

When Mei Hanlin returned home, he heard that someone from the Xue family had sent a post and he quickly opened it to take a closer look.

Seeing that although the above did not say when they would move out of Rongguo Mansion, they proposed to meet at the old house on Zijin Street, Mei Hanlin was generally satisfied with this.

However, he was not very satisfied with the "afternoon talk" time mentioned above. The Hanlin Academy was clamoring for a collective letter these two days, imploring the emperor to withdraw the order to establish an engineering college. How could he be absent at this time?

Besides, if someone knew that he was going to meet his in-laws in Rongguo Mansion, wouldn't it affect his future prospects?

Mei Hanlin put the post on the table and pondered for a long time, then ordered the steward: "Go to Zijin Street again and tell the Xue family that I have something to do tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the appointment until after dark."

The steward responded respectfully, and just as he was about to go down to arrange manpower, he suddenly realized what he was doing and asked in surprise: "Master, isn't Mr. Xue in Rongguo Mansion?"

"So what?"

Mei Hanlin's face darkened and he scolded: "Our family is married to the Xue family, what does it have to do with the Rongguo Mansion? If there is anything that needs to be communicated in the future, you will only go to the Xue residence on Zijin Street!"

The steward was busy and agreed, and went down to make arrangements.

So the news was first sent to Zijin Street. Due to the curfew, Zijin Street was unable to deliver the news to Rongguo Mansion in time.
