Chapter 754 Pick-up【Part 1】

Fast forward to the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.

That afternoon, Ying'er stomped the slush off her feet in front of the study door. When she opened the curtain and walked in, she found that Xue Baochai was still in a daze. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows secretly. No matter how unwilling she had been aggrieved before, the girl had never been so distracted.

, but that day after I was alone with Uncle Jiao...

From this, Ying'er became more and more sure of her suspicions, and she alerted Baochai with a dry cough, and reported: "Mother Zhang just sent word that there will be a rehearsal in the main hall in the afternoon."

Although everyone in the Rongguo Mansion had practiced the etiquette of picking up a driver as early as two years ago, according to the rules, it still had to be a formality.

"knew."

Xue Baochai subconsciously wanted to turn a page of the book, but then he felt that there was no three hundred taels of silver here, so he sighed and said: "You can ask people to go to the main hall to keep an eye on it, and we will go there after someone has gone."

.”

Yinger agreed and turned around to leave the study.

Xue Baochai stared at the swaying cotton curtain and couldn't help but sigh.

She didn't know what possessed her that day, but she followed Jiao Shun and even tolerated his over-the-top 'jokes' to a certain extent. Baochai felt a little incredible every time she recalled it in the past few days.

.

This is not something she can do at all!

But regret is regret, and every time I think about it, I am surprisingly not annoyed or repelled.

Thinking carefully about the reason, it was actually the resentment and unwillingness that had been accumulating for the rest of the month, which was almost burning her insides. Once vented, it would be enough to make her lose her previous calmness.

[Insert a sentence: When questioned, Baochai changed his mind when he changed his mind. It should be noted that although there are only a few lines in the book, the actual difference is one month.]

But only this time!

Xue Baochai secretly made up his mind that he would never do this again, otherwise once he was discovered, he would be doomed.

Just then, she started to worry about how to deal with Ying'er.

Since that day, the misunderstanding of this little hoof has obviously become deeper - of course, to some extent, it is not all a misunderstanding - she had already taken it upon herself to create opportunities for herself and Jiao Shun to be alone last time, and the future is uncertain.

What will happen!

It's definitely useless to explain. You may want to offend her, but after all, they have been together since childhood and have been sisters.

Nowadays, there are not many people around him that he can use. If Ying'er is defeated, replacing him with another one may not be able to fulfill his wish. He may even be won over by Rongguo Mansion. At that time, instead of creating a place where he and Jiao Shun are alone, he will try every means to

He tied himself to Baoyu.

Comparing the two, she is more...

"girl."

At this time, Ying'er came back and reported: "I just got the letter, my wife and uncle have arrived at the street corner!"

Hearing this, Xue Baochai quickly put those messy thoughts behind his mind, stood up and said, "Let's go to the Chuihua Gate and wait."

…………

at the same time.

Jiao Shun, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, Baoyu, Jia Qiang, Jia Rong and Jia Yun were gathering in Luxue Temple to have wine.

Seeing Jia Zhen and his son holding Jiao Shun in their arms, Jia Lian felt a little unhappy - in fact, not only Jia Zhen and his son, but also the eunuchs sent by the palace to teach etiquette also looked at Jiao Shun in a different light.

Thinking again about the way Wang Xifeng had a big belly all day long and was "side by side" with Shi Xiangyun, he became even more angry. He simply got up and said that it would be convenient for him to go and wandered outside alone.

I was wandering in the snow in a daze when I suddenly heard someone calling from behind me. When I turned around, Jia Rong chased me out.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you coming out too?"

"I just ate a few more cups, and my stomach was a little burning, so I came out to eat." Jia Rong smiled and came closer and asked: "Second uncle, why did you look so indifferent to my uncle just now?

"

Hearing him affectionately call Jiao Shun 'uncle', Jia Lian puffed out some turbid air from his nostrils and sneered: "What kind of uncle is he? Bah~ The villain is successful!"

Jia Rong laughed twice and advised: "After all, things are not the same as before. Second uncle, you just need to understand in your heart, but don't dare to say nonsense in front of him. Besides, doesn't third aunt just want to marry and have a mother-in-law? Aunt Shi's family is far away."

Well, third aunt can’t be said to be an outsider, right?”

"Hmph~"

Jia Lian raised his head proudly: "What's the point? I'm not as timid as you. No matter what he does, in my eyes he is nothing more than a clown!"

When Jia Rong heard what he said loudly, she looked around in fright to see that there was no one else around. Then she relaxed a little, but she didn't dare to provoke Jia Lian to say weird things anymore. She said in a sullen tone: "Second uncle, it's a little cold outside.

I, I’m going back first.”

With that said, he turned back to Luxue'an as if he was running away.

Jia Lian watched him run away in a hurry with a look of disdain, proudly thinking that now in the entire Rongguo Mansion, he was probably the only one who could still neither be humble nor arrogant in front of that dog slave.

When I thought about it, I immediately felt much better.

Unexpectedly, not long after Jia Rong fled back, he saw Jiao Shun and Jia Zhen leading the way, and everyone came out of Luxue'an with cheers and cheers.

"Brother Lian~"

From a distance, Jia Zhen waved her hands repeatedly.

Jia Lian still wanted to give him some respect, so he stepped forward and asked curiously: "Brother Zhen, why are you all out?"

"Didn't I hear that Wen Long is coming? Let's all go and greet him."

As Jia Zhen spoke, she glanced at Jiao Shun from the corner of her eye. In fact, if Jiao Shun hadn't gone to greet him, how could Xue Pan be worthy of such an effort?

Jia Lian suddenly heard the word "Wenlong", but his expression suddenly changed. He stopped and said: "This... I won't go. I don't know if there are any arrangements in the main hall. I am preparing to go there for inspection."

.”

With that said, without waiting for Jia Zhen to say anything else, she made a sharp turn and walked away.

"What happened to the two Lian brothers?"

Jia Zhen couldn't help but wonder when she saw this: "It seems like someone is chasing him behind his back."

Jiao Shun watched Jia Lian go away thoughtfully, and then said with a smile: "Apart from Baoyu, he is the main force in the serious reception. Naturally, he is more concerned than us - let's go, go, don't keep Brother Xue waiting.

"

Everyone started talking and laughing again and went to the front yard to greet him, but Baoyu lowered his head and didn't say a word.

When they arrived at the two gates, they met Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, Xue Baochai and Jia Lan who were coming out to greet them.

Jia Zhen and Jiao Shun hurriedly led everyone forward to see the ceremony.

When Mrs. Wang saw this mobilization of troops, she couldn't help but wonder: "What are you..."

"I heard that Brother Wenlong is here, let's go to greet him."

It was still Jia Zhen who came forward to answer.

Mrs. Wang's eyes fell on Baoyu and saw him cowering at the end, almost at the same level as Jia Yun. She sighed slightly and said, "It's time to come and greet him."

Then there was no more content.

After the ceremony, the women went first. Jia Lan naturally moved to the men's team. Looking at Uncle Bao next to him, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Although his grandmother suddenly came to his senses and began to value him as his eldest grandson, which made Jia Lan quite happy, he did not want to see his uncle sink like this. He wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with his second uncle, but seeing how lost he was, he didn't know what to do.

Open your mouth.

After the women passed through the two-door corridor, Jia Zhen and Jiao Shun led the team to continue welcoming them out.

When they arrived at the Chuihua Gate, Aunt Xue and Xue Pan had already arrived, and were surrounding Xue Baochai to greet her, leaving Mrs. Wang aside.

Seeing this scene, Jia Zhen couldn't help but look back at Baoyu.

Baoyu shrank his neck, wishing he could hide behind Jia Lan.

Jiao Shun was the first to come forward to see Aunt Xue, and smiled at Xue Pan: "Wenlong came just in time. If it were later, he would not be able to drink."

Xue Pan asked curiously: "Why is this?"

Jia Zhen rushed to reply: "I don't know when the empress will arrive tomorrow. If she gets drunk at night, she will be in trouble."

Both of them saw the gift, and everyone turned their attention to Jia Baoyu. Baoyu was stared at like a ray of light on his back, so he had no choice but to step forward and respect his mother-in-law.

Aunt Xue stared at him for a while, then agreed in a neutral tone.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang was afraid that Baoyu would make another joke, so she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Aunt Xue inside.

As for Xue Pan, he naturally left some reception to Jiao Shun.

Jiao Shun first took him to see Jia Zheng, and then went to Luxue Temple to have a drink.

During this period, although Xue Pan was polite to Jia Baoyu, he rarely took the initiative to provoke him. Everyone said that he had changed his temper and secretly admired him.

After the wine was half drunk, Jiao Shun stood up and invited Xue Pan to go out with him. When he arrived in the courtyard, he asked with a straight face: "Wen Long, are you hiding something from me?"
