Chapter 447 Mid-Autumn Festival [continued](1/2)

As agreed, when Lin Daiyu, Baochai and Baoqin returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Mrs. Wang comforted Baoqin a few words in a normal manner, and then went to the old lady's courtyard on the excuse.

When Lin Daiyu saw Aunt Xue staying alone, she knew that she must have something private to explain to Baochai and Baoqin.

She was just waiting to find a reason to avoid it, but Aunt Xue asked without hesitation: "But I don't know why Brother Shun came to you for?"

Seeing that she had no intention of treating herself as an outsider, Lin Daiyu stayed with Baoqin silently.

Xue Baochai made a serious correction and said, "We were invited by Sister Xing for what we are..."

Speaking of this, she slightly turned her head to Lin Daiyu beside her and cast a gaze for consultation.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Since my aunt asked, we can't hide it from you, but I dare not spread it casually except for my second aunt."

She knew that Aunt Xue would probably have to discuss with Mrs. Wang when she returned, so she simply listed Mrs. Wang as an exception.

Aunt Xue agreed with her words, and she was about to swear to the sky on the spot.

So Lin Daiyu and Baoqin said one by one, repeated Jiao Shun's short composition plan, and presented Aunt Xue with the "Jiao Edition Essay".

Finally, Xue Baoqin couldn't help but sigh again: "Not to mention how detailed Brother Jiao's plan is, this article alone is definitely not something that rude and unwilling can do, which shows how ridiculous the rumors are!"

Aunt Xue just took the 'essay' and was about to read it carefully again. When she heard her niece's comment, she subconsciously nodded and said, "That's natural! If I were to say that although his poems and articles are not as good as those of everyone, they are definitely not accessible to ordinary people."

This evaluation is obviously personal emotional.

More importantly...

Baochai said strangely: "Mom hasn't read it yet, how can she know what his poems and articles are?"

"this……"

When her daughter pointed out her omission, Aunt Xue's heart immediately raised her throat. Fortunately, she was frequently stimulating recently and barely became a good doctor after being sick for a long time. Therefore, she maintained her calmness on the surface and tried her best to pretend that she was nothing, "I'm not listening to you all praise, so I also praised her."

As he said that, he lowered his head and quickly scanned a few 'essays', and praised again: "Look at how good this is written, you can see every sentence clearly, like some scholars. I wish I could pick out two allusions in three words, but I had to make people confused, so I showed their ability!"

Lin Daiyu laughed and covered her mouth and said, "Auntie, this is what she said, and we were scolding us."

Although I heard that she was joking, Aunt Xue hurriedly asked for a make-up: "You girls are not a big deal. I am talking about those who insist on showing off their copying in front of outsiders."

"If it comes to these people..."

Lin Daiyu's eyes rolled and she sneered, "There is one in the mansion that has just been released, and there are a few things like eight-legged essays, and she dares to cheat the whole world!"

How come Xue Baochai doesn’t know that she is mocking Baoyu?

Fearing that his mother was not sure, he asked the question, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Goodie Jiao specifically explained before leaving, asking us to write some drafts first and not rush to write. Only when he finds out the follow-up actions of the Mei family can he be targeted."

After a pause, he added: "Brother Jiao and I have a similar opinion. When the Mei family suddenly makes trouble, they will definitely not be able to escape the word "fame and fortune". I believe that it should have taken action in the past or two days."

Although Aunt Xue roughly understood Jiao Shun's routine, it would be really difficult to let her think about it further.

Fortunately, she was not the one who pretended to understand. She nodded and said, "Since it was Shun Ge'er's intention, you can do it as you like, although you girls are not as smart as ordinary people since childhood, these things are always done with men."

Because Tanchun is gone, no one cares about these remarks that prefer boys over girls.

At this time, Xue Baochai sighed again: "Actually, this matter seems to be related to Brother Jiao at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, now that you are cursing outside, the impeachment memorial is even more serious and sent to the palace. Compared with these, Mei Hanlin's actions have nothing to do with him at all, and he is willing to take it on him, and he has worked hard to plan so carefully."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue and Baoqin all sighed at Jiao Shun's warm heart.

Lin Daiyu suddenly couldn't help but laugh and said jokingly: "That's right, it's wrong that he and Xiangyun's sister have already been married. I'm afraid I think he is the sister Baoqin."

"Sister Lin!"

Baoqin immediately rushed up and had a fight with her.

Baochai covered her mouth and smiled, but Aunt Xue's expression was unconsciously a little dazed.

Yes, in fact, Rongguo Mansion, whose reputation has been even worse, chose to swallow his anger. Jiao Shun, who had no losses, took the initiative to take responsibility, and planned so hard that he wanted to avenge the Xue family.

Isn't there any special reason for this?

She looked at Baoqin first, and then at Baochai again. It was obvious that neither her niece nor her daughter could have anything to do with Jiao Shun, so he was naturally...

Aunt Xue's face was hot for a moment, for fear that there would be traces in front of the younger generation, so she hurriedly stood up and said, "Since that's the case, you sisters, let's take this essay first, and I'll take it away first, and I'll send it back to you in the evening."

She raised the draft in her hands to the three of them, and then hurried away without waiting for a response.

Daiyu and Baoqin just thought she was busy looking for Mrs. Wang. Although Xue Baochai noticed something strange, she never expected that her gentle and shy mother would have a second spring at this time.

But Aunt Xue left Xiaoxiang Pavilion as if she was escaping, and finally calmed down her agitation, and then she went back to the hut of Qingtang to tell Mrs. Wang the truth.

While looking through the 'essay', Mrs. Wang couldn't help but worry: "I have only heard that scholars can manipulate public opinion. Now he gathers a group of little girls to do the opposite. Can this really happen?"

"Others can't do it, but Brother Shun may not be able to do it!"

After protecting Jiao Shun's words, Aunt Xue felt something was wrong and hurriedly added: "Baochai and Lin Yatou both analyzed that the submissions were all anonymous, and even this essay would be disguised as a stolen one. Even if it failed, it would not be harmful."

As he said that, he couldn't help but praise Jiao Shun: "Although he is young, he is a very steady person and will never be reckless..."

When talking about Jiao Shun's "steadiness" and not "reckless and reckless", she couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and the words behind her became unconsciously ambiguous.

But she has been admiring Jiao Shun for a short time, which also made Mrs. Wang feel alert. After all, Baochai almost promised Jiao Shun at the time. Now Jiao Shun's officialdom is booming and has the ability to take responsibility...

On the other hand, Baoyu, his own nun, had been in a state of emotion for more than a month, and even pushed back the summons in the palace.

The mistake is not Xue Baoqin's arrival, and I don't know what trouble will happen.

After thinking about this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "I just went to the old lady's side. The old lady talked about Feng Shui again and asked Baoqin if this matter would delay Baoyu and Baochai's marriage."

"this……"

Aunt Xue couldn't help frowning when she heard this. She hadn't considered this before, but now after her sister reminded her, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

My sister was just resigned from the bride, but when she turned around, her sister got engaged like nothing happened. Although there is no causal relationship, it is always easy to say when it is spread.

But if you want to push it back, as my sister said, the old lady clearly doesn't want to postpone the marriage in order to get the bad luck at home.

She was not very close to Baochai, but now...

Just when he was in a dilemma, Caixia suddenly heard outside sing: "Madam, Madam, someone has come from the palace. The old lady asked everyone to go to Rongxi Hall to gather!"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she thought it was the Mid-Autumn Festival item that had been rewarded in the palace. Although she did not dare to neglect it, she could not be said to be anxious.

I didn't want to hear Caiyun add again: "Sister Yuanyang said that I'll let the concubine be there!"

"Is there anything else about me?"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she looked at Mrs. Wang, and both of them were confused.

"Let's go, just go over and take a look!"

Mrs. Wang took the lead, and the two sisters went out of the Qingtang hut and rushed to Rongxi Hall in the front yard.

After arriving, I saw that Wu Yangyang had already gathered a lot of people, and even Baochai was among them.

The two sisters were about to ask what was going on, but the eunuch who sent the order smiled and said, "Are all this person coming, will the miscellaneous family start to announce the order?"

Although he was asking questions, he shouted again without waiting for someone to respond: "Is there an order!"

Everyone knelt on the ground according to their rank, and then they heard the eunuch passing the orders recite a lot of ups and downs. To sum up, the core idea is just two words: Give marriage!

On the day when the Mei family retired from marriage, the emperor served as a matchmaker for Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai, and asked him to choose an auspicious day to get married!

At this moment, the humiliation imposed by the Mei family on Rongguo Mansion and Xue family was not only dissipated, but the impact it brought was mostly weakened.

Jia Zheng's brows, which had been locked for half a day, stretched out completely, and walked forward with joy to receive the order. While ordering Jia Lian to take it in and offer it, he also thanked the eunuch who was delivering the order.

The eunuch laughed and said, "We don't dare to take it. If you want to thank me, I would like to thank you for yourselves and wise men!"

As he said that, he bowed to the direction of the palace.

Then he changed his subject and said, "Then the next thing is the priest Jiao Guan. If it weren't for him, even if this matter could be accomplished, the will wouldn't have come down so quickly."

"Killed...sacrificial wine?"

Jia Zheng suddenly seemed to be a swallowing fly, and opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "What does this have to do with him?"

"Of course, it's relevant, at noon this year..."

…………

Time goes back to the afternoon of this day.

Just as the girls rushed to the Jiao family, Jiao Shun's secret letter was also delivered to Emperor Longyuan early.

In this secret letter, Jiao Shun first briefly described the Mei family's resignation in public, and then said that he had now slandered everyone, so he didn't care about having another Mei Hanlin.

However, Mei Hanlin slandered him enough, so he even broke the dirty water on the second wife of Rongguo Mansion. These two wives were not only his old benefactor, but also the biological mother of the concubine Xiande in the palace. This guy is really punished by his intention!

You can't sit idly by yourself, both public and private!

After thinking about it, I was inspired by the conflict incident in Dali Temple last time.

The reason why the students were defeated last time was that in addition to the Holy Emperor's decision to determine the world on the spot, some scholars in the early stage were eager to succeed, and wrote articles in newspapers to distort the facts in order to intensify the conflict, leaving many talks, which were later exposed on the spot, which led to chaos. This was also an important factor.

Therefore, I was going to copy and indirectly summon some talented girls in Rongguo Mansion. I really didn’t have the ability and couldn’t find a reliable literati to first make a few articles with hidden handles, and then aim at it to let the clown jumping to his own fruit!

The emperor was originally angry. When he saw Jiao Shun who could not find a suitable gunman could only rely on a group of 14 or 15-year-old girls in Rongguo Mansion, he couldn't help laughing. He thought to himself that if the civil officials learned about these inside stories, he would be afraid that he would say, "It's hard to raise women and villains."

This also made him increasingly look forward to the establishment of the Institute of Technology as soon as possible. Otherwise, the prestigious engineering sacrificial wine would have to rely on a group of young girls to be gunmen, what would it look like?

He was satisfied that Jiao Shun even reported such embarrassing things truthfully, but he didn't know that Jiao Shun reported this matter, in fact, in order to avoid the emperor's discovery of the last time, and also passed the clear path of his "harem participation in politics" method.

After reading the secret note, Emperor Longyuan pondered for a moment and ordered someone to call the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun and told her that the Mei family had withdrawn from the marriage and insulted Mrs. Wang.
