Chapter 738 Self-defeating(2/2)
But now that she took the initiative to mention it, Tanchun waved his hands and said: "How can I use my sister's body? My wife and I will discuss it and we can always come up with a way."
From Tanchun's point of view, Youdao is short on others and short on others. Now the couple is already in a cold war. If they borrow Sister Bao's dowry at this time, how can they have the nerve to persuade her to compromise in the future?
Baochai had expected that she would be like this, so she mentioned it to her specifically.
After all, even the servants knew that she had come with a lot of dowry, so pretending to be deaf and dumb all the time was not an option. Now that Tanchun had declined, it was impossible to find fault with her.
It's not that Baochai is unwilling to donate her dowry to help the Rongguo Mansion tide over the difficulties, it's mainly because the government hasn't been forced to do that yet, and it has to wait until the moment of crisis to show the value of her intervention.
No other words were spoken the whole way.
Seeing the door of Rongxi Hall, Tanchun took Baochai to the corridor and listened to the conversation inside.
At that time, Jiao Shun was standing in front of the coffee table in the middle, his face was full of kindness, but he still showed a condescending aura. Although Baoyu was not afraid of him, every time he heard him mention the importance of official documents, he unconsciously wanted to bend down.
Hunchback.
After clarifying the meaning at the beginning, Jiao asked a few relatively simple questions about the official documents he had compiled.
As a result, Baoyu only answered three of the five questions.
That's all, the biggest problem is the two questions he didn't answer. Even if you haven't read the answers, as long as you think about it carefully, you can still give some insights.
The ones that Pian Baoyu had read were just as written, and the ones that he hadn't read were not willing to think about it at all.
Seeing this scene, Jia Zheng looked a little unhappy, while Jia Huan shook his head to cover up his gloating.
Tanchun outside also felt a little regretful. She had just heard Ying'er's words of certainty, and she thought that the second brother had really worked hard. But listening to the answers inside, she could tell one, two, three even if she had never seen it before.
The second brother is...
At this time, I heard Jiao Shun helplessly say: "Brother Bao, the answers to these questions are actually just to give you a reference, and they do not require you to memorize them by rote - and if you can't give your own answers, how can I possibly do it?"
Can you help me correct any omissions?"
Baoyu felt timid, glanced at his father, and explained in a low voice: "The time is too short, I, I haven't had time to fully understand it."
"Hmph~"
Jia Zheng snorted coldly: "You always like to show off your cleverness, but when it comes to serious business, why can't you get it right?"
The jade is soft and hard to describe.
Baochai outside the door also said nothing, turned around and walked out.
"Sister Bao, stay."
Tanchun hurriedly chased after her. When he passed by Ying'er, he couldn't help but give her a fierce look.
At this moment, Ying'er doesn't know that she is self-defeating?
But how could she have imagined that Xiren would deceive her, and Baoyu would not even hold on tightly to the only 'way out' in front of her?
