Chapter 812 March Eighteenth [Towards the end]
The sun was setting.
The square outside Donghuamen is already crowded with carriages that come to pick up and drop off the wives of officials, and the level of excitement is not much worse than that of Caishikou.
Fortunately, in the officialdom, order is the most important thing. Although there is a lot of rubbing shoulders, it is not very messy.
It's just that this point is not friendly to the current Rongguo Mansion. Leaving aside the solitary East Cross Courtyard, it can only be placed in the middle and rear sections below the fifth rank if it is purely arranged in order of rank.
Worried about missing the pick-up, Zhou Rui deliberately pushed a few men to the front.
As soon as he stood still, he saw a burly man walking out of the Donghua Gate, but if he looked closely, it wasn't Mr. Jiao, who else could it be?
Zhou Rui hastily stepped forward to greet him.
Seeing that it was Zhou Rui, Jiao Shun helped the 'belt' in Fu's mourning clothes, and waved his hands like chasing flies: "I have something urgent to do, so I won't waste any time talking with you. Remember to say hello to my aunt."
Seeing that his attitude was not very good, Zhou Rui responded repeatedly, while hastily dodging out of the way.
Holding his 'belt', Jiao Shun moved forward with his head held high, and soon found the carriage at home in the forefront of the third-rank officer's parking area.
When his figure disappeared in the car, Zhou Rui slowly withdrew his gaze, sighing secretly that the world is really unpredictable.
It was only five or six years ago, when the other party met me and said Uncle Zhou. At that time, I never imagined that there would be today!
After Jiao Shun left, it was about a quarter of an hour before some wives and officials came out of the palace one after another.
Seeing Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Xue Baochai, and You Shi from a distance, Zhou Rui went up to meet them again. After greeting them, he led his family members to clear the obstacles with difficulty and escorted them to the carriage.
After getting into the car, Mrs. Wang rubbed her numb knees and said worriedly: "I don't know if the matter of Concubine Rong has been resolved—ah, Concubine Wu Gui is really absurd and domineering. , and threw it to Changqing?"
Xue Baochai had heard a lot of similar thoughts this day. Although she was a little unbelievable that Concubine Wu would do such absurd and crazy things, she didn't want to discuss this issue with Mrs. Wang repeatedly.
So he simply leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes to doze off.
Speechless all the way.
When they arrived at Rongguo Mansion, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had already felt the tense atmosphere in the mansion before they even got out of the car.
Mrs. Wang subconsciously grabbed Baochai's wrist, and said in a trembling voice: "He, he can't really have an accident, right?"
What she said was nonsense, but Xue Baochai understood it, but she didn't think it would be such a thing—Jiao Shun was an outsider after all, so what did his bad luck have to do with the servants of the Rongguo Mansion?
Sure enough, he summoned Lin Zhixiao's family to scan, and immediately heard the cause and effect of Jia Lian's arrest.
Knowing that she was involved in a treason case, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt that the sky was collapsing, and if it wasn't for the support of Caiyun Caixia, she would almost collapse to the ground.
Xue Baochai was also taken aback, after all, it was a serious crime of copying and beheading everyone!
However, she still kept her mind steady and took over the task of cross-examination, trying to find out more details.
At this time, there was another commotion not far away, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked up, and it turned out that it was Aunt Xue and Li Wan who were looking for Wang Xifeng with their protection.
Wrapping her round belly with both hands, Wang Xifeng gently pushed Aunt Xue away with a sad face, and said sadly: "Madam, you must find a way to save our second master!"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and covered his face and sobbed.
Aunt Xue looked distressed and repeatedly expressed relief, but Li Wan on the side secretly rolled her eyes, didn't they say she was pregnant for three years?Why didn't this little hoof's acting skills drop at all? !
To be honest, apart from being afraid of being implicated, Wang Xifeng didn't care about Jia Lian's situation at all. The reason why she pretended to be crazy was to show Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll send someone to Zijin Street to ask Changqing to come over and help find a way to rescue brother Lian!"
She is very confident about this, although Wu Guifei acted recklessly in bestowing Concubine Rong to Jiao Shun, but it also proved Wu Guifei's trust in Jiao Shun.
Xue Baochai listened behind her, and couldn't help shaking her head secretly. It has been less than half a year since she got married, and the Rongguo Mansion has asked Jiao Shun for help more than three or five times!
Such a huge Rongguo Mansion seems to be parasitic on Jiao Shun. Without Jiao Shun, he can't do anything, nothing can be done.
While being slandered, Baochai couldn't help reminding: "Brother Jiao should still be on duty in the palace, right?"
"This……"
Mrs. Wang was taken aback, frowning and tangled, Zhou Rui leaned over to report: "Don't worry, madam, I saw Uncle Jiao come out of the palace and get into the carriage of Jiao's family with my own eyes, so I think he should have arrived home by this time."
Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered him to rush to invite Jiao Shun.
At this time, Li Wan handed over a family letter to Mrs. Wang to read, and Mrs. Wang didn't read it when she took it in her hand—mainly because she couldn't understand—and asked directly: "What's written in it?"
"It's a letter sent home by the master."
Li Wan explained: "Master heard the news of His Majesty's death, so he specially wrote to ask for details, and asked his wife to summarize the latest developments in the court and write back to let Master know."
"Humph~"
When Mrs. Wang heard that it was for such a thing, she snorted coldly and was about to let Li Wan take care of it when she suddenly thought of something, so she said disdainfully: "Didn't he want to know what happened in the capital? Write down what you have said and send it back to him!"
Originally, for this kind of thing, we should wait until we have discussed the rules for dealing with it before writing to Nan Bian'er, lest Jia Zhenggan be too anxious to do his best, and make troubles because of it.
But what Mrs. Wang thinks now is: I am worried every day here, why can he hide in Jinling?
…………
the other side.
Jiao Shun didn't go home, but first went to Su's house in Peach Blossom Lane.
After entering the room, without saying a word, he first drew the curtains, then shook off the quilt on the bed, and began to undress in a hurry.
Seeing this, Lin Daiyu spat, blushed and locked the door, then turned around, and saw that Jiao Shun's upper body was completely buried in the quilt.
this friend~
Even if we haven't seen each other for a long time, we shouldn't be in such a hurry, right?
Lin Daiyu was thinking like this, but a three-point smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
But at this moment, Jiao Shun suddenly broke free from the quilt, and quickly rolled the quilt into a ball.
"You, what are you doing?"
Lin Daiyu took a half step back vigilantly, thinking that he was about to play some new tricks.
"The things in here are not visible!"
Jiao Shun pointed to the rolled up quilt and said, "Let's find a safe place to hide later—remember, don't tell anyone!"
Only then did Lin Daiyu realize that she had misunderstood her. She rolled Jiao Shun's eyes in embarrassment, and said angrily, "What's the mess? Could it be that you came out with a belt from the palace?"
"Hehe, although they are all brought out around the waist, this thing is much more useful than a belt!" Jiao Shun said, and quickly put on his clothes again, and said softly: "I can't stay here for long , otherwise it may implicate you.”
After a pause, he said again: "If I don't hear from me in the future, or if I'm arrested or killed, you can hand this over to Chen Wansan, the inspector and inspector of the General Affairs Office of the Ministry of Industry. He will..."
"What happened?!"
At this time, Lin Daiyu finally understood the seriousness of the matter. She stepped forward and grabbed Jiao Shun's sleeve and asked, "Then King Zhongshun was arrested? You just made a great contribution. Who will target you at this time?"
"I can't say yet."
Jiao Shun picked up the wrapped quilt and urged: "As long as there is no problem with this thing, not only will I not die, but I may even continue to rise up!"
Sister Lin walked over, wrapped her arms around Jiao Shun's waist silently from behind, and whispered: "How can you get promoted every step of the way, I only hope you are safe and sound."
"Whether I can be safe or not depends entirely on you."
As Jiao Shun said, he took Lin Daiyu's hand and grabbed the quilt.
Lin Daiyu nodded solemnly, and found a suitable place with him, and hid the quilt and the negative together.
The two hugged each other again and bid farewell for a long time before Jiao Shun went back home.
After returning home, I immediately heard that the Rongguo Mansion had an invitation.
Jiao Shun knew that it must be because of Jia Lian's arrest, so he didn't worry too much. On the contrary, Shi Xiangyun was worried and said anxiously: "Master, let's go over and have a look, no matter what, we can't let the child in Sister Feng's belly I lost my father at birth!"
"You can rest assured!"
As soon as Jiao Shun heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "I can swear to God, as long as I, Jiao, are around, I will never let that child become a poor child without a father!"
