After the Xing family took a short rest, the convoy set off to return.

The whole journey was silent.

Seeing the east entrance of Rongning Street, the coachman suddenly slowed down his horse, and then he heard Shuan Zhu's report that he had just collided with Mr. Bao's carriage.

When Jiao Shun leaned forward to look outside, Baoyu also happened to lift up the curtain, scratching his head and scratching his head and smiling at him, quite embarrassed as if he had been caught skipping class.

Due to the incident between Qingwen and Liu Xianglian, the relationship between the two has been greatly eased, and Baoyu has become less repulsive about going to the Ministry of Works every day to study 'physics'.

But for a master with an unstable temperament like him, working seven to five like Jiao Shun, that is definitely a dream. Being late and leaving early is commonplace.

But it is still a bit rare to skip school and go home in the middle of the day.

Jiao Shun got off the carriage and met Jia Baoyu who also got off the carriage. He smiled and said, "Brother Bao came back so early today. Did he hear that Mr. Xing's uncle arrived in Beijing today?"

After hearing this, most people would probably just go down the slope and get off the donkey.

But Baoyu had no such idea, and instead smiled and said: "That's not true. I heard that the actor hired by my family is going to live in Lixiangyuan today, so I came back specially to have a look."

Because Jia Rong was getting married, he temporarily borrowed an actor purchased by Rongguo Mansion to support the scene. After the wedding, he was supposed to be sent to Dong Mansion.

However, Wang Xifeng made careful calculations and found that due to the demolition of part of the back house to expand the villa, the house in the mansion was somewhat tight, so he did not rush to take the person over, but accelerated the progress of renovations near Lixiangyuan.

Now that the renovation project near Lixiangyuan has come to an end, it is natural to invite the young actors to return to their places.

Hearing Jia Baoyu bluntly say that he came back because of the little opera girl, Jiao Shun couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, although this boy was 'willful and naive', he was not a fool after all. After explaining the reason for leaving early, he rushed to the carriageway behind: "But since we bumped into each other, I still have to pay a visit."

With that said, he asked Jiao Shun to introduce him.

And when he heard that he was the second master Bao who was the direct descendant of Rongguo Mansion, Xing Zhong also got out of the car in a hurry. Before Baoyu could come up to greet him, he rushed to compliment him and said, "I've heard about the name of second master Bao for a long time. Now it's true when I see him."

It’s as precious as jade!”

If he showed off his elders' profile, Baoyu would probably think more highly of him. However, such a self-contemptuous behavior made the naughty child quite bored. He immediately handed over his hand and said: "I don't dare to be my uncle and praise me, my mother-in-law."

She's waiting at the house, but it's hard to keep her waiting for a long time - let's wait until Baoyu has some free time in the future to visit her again."

As he said that, he stepped aside and signaled to the Xing family to go first.

When Jiao Shun saw this, he didn't show any pretense. He made a complaint and was about to get in the car, but was stopped by Baoyu, who whispered: "Brother Xianglian wants to go to Zuo'anmen for a lesson, but I don't know when Brother Jiao will be free?"

Although the imperial court has not yet reached an agreement with the Wuxi people on the exchange of students, the quota allocation has already begun. Datou will naturally be selected from the Imperial College. However, under the emperor's strong insistence, Zuo'an Mengxue's students

The work-study students actually got several indicators.

Of course, it may not be this issue.

This incident caused some criticism in the court, but it also accidentally cleared up the obstacles for Jiao Shun to reach the sixth grade. He was the one who was responsible for the work-study students. Now the emperor personally came to help grab the places, which shows that this person is so capable.

The holy family is prosperous.

After Liu Xianglian learned about this, she came up with the idea of ​​going to Zuo'anmen Mengmao School to study part-time and sneak into the ranks of foreign students.

"After all, he has a reputation as a scholar, so why would he want to wade into this muddy water?"

Jiao Shun shook his head slightly, but did not refuse. He only said: "It's okay to go and have a look, but be careful that the loyal and obedient king will not die."

"Don't worry, Prince Beijing will also go with you!"

Then there's no problem.

"The day after tomorrow, I happen to be going to inspect the Mongolian School the day after tomorrow. Then we will help both public and private affairs."

After sending Baoyu away, the team got back on the road.

When he arrived at the gate of the East Crossing Courtyard, Jiao Shun signaled the coachman not to pass through the door and made way for the carriage of the three Xing family members.

Of course, he himself still had to get off the bus in front of the door. After all, he had to go in and explain.

After the carriages filed in behind him, Jiao Shun was led by Qin Xian to the front hall, waiting for Mrs. Xing's summons.

The three members of the Xing family were led directly to the back house by their mother-in-law and maid.

Normally, since her brother had come from afar, Ms.

This attitude made Xing Zhong feel a little uneasy.

However, Xing's wife was fascinated by the magnificence. She looked at this and touched which one. She was amazed for a long time and couldn't help but pulled her daughter to ask: "My son, what do you think of Jiao Shun?"

Without waiting for Xing Xiuyan to reply, she sighed again: "It's a pity that our family can't reach such a high level, otherwise you and Na Bao Er Ye would be incomparable in appearance."

Xing Xiuyan's face turned red with embarrassment, but after hearing this, she quickly reminded her: "Mom, please don't dare to say nonsense. If others hear it, they might think we have something wrong!"

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Although Mr. Bao is a member of the royal family, judging from his behavior and conversation, he is not as stable and familiar as Mr. Jiao."

Hearing this, Xing's wife hurriedly asked: "So, you have fallen in love with him?"

"Mother!"

Xing Xiuyan stomped her feet slightly in shame, but said solemnly: "Everyone in the world has thousands of faces, how can you know the whole thing by looking at one spot?"

Seeing that her mother looked confused after hearing this, she sighed helplessly and explained: "My daughter said that today was just the first time we met, and we still don't know what happened."

"Then you didn't get it?"

Xing's wife was still baffled.

Xing Xiuyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she missed Miaoyu even more, who was both her teacher and friend. She should be in the capital now, so she didn't know if she could see her again.

Seeing her mother's reluctance, she had no choice but to say: "My aunt ordered a matchmaker, so what does it matter if my daughter doesn't like her?"

She didn't mention her parents' orders, but she was obviously reminding her mother that since the whole family had come to depend on her, it was Mrs. Xing's final decision.

While he was talking, he suddenly heard someone outside say: "Brother has finally arrived!"

As he was talking, he saw a bejeweled woman walking in from the outside, saying 'brother', but her eyes fell directly on Xing Xiuyan, looked up and down, and sighed: "Is this Xiuyan's niece? Sure enough, the ultimate sign of success is no different than the girls in this house."

Xing Xiuyan knew that this must be her aunt, and she wanted to show her closeness, but the other person's naked eyes, as if looking at goods, made her unable to get close to her from the bottom of her heart.

But at this time, Mrs. Xing's attention had already moved away from her. After looking around, she frowned and said, "Why don't you see Brother Shun?"

Xing Zhong and his wife were smiling as they walked forward to greet her, but when they heard her words, they didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the scene was inexplicably cold, Xing Xiuyan had to remind him from behind: "Master Jiao seems to have followed the housekeeper to the front hall."

"What are you doing in the front hall?"
