Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 15 Thousand taels of silver
Dementor Talisman, Dementia Talisman...,...

Jia Rui's eyes slowly lit up.

As long as you have this thing and control one of the two saints, then you will not be successful in the future.

Thinking about it, Jia Rui couldn't help "humming" and laughing.

But the smile quickly faded away, the soul-absorbing talisman needed 1000 taels of silver, and he only had those few taels of silver all over his body now, which was extorted from the boy just now.

Jia Rui walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, but couldn't figure out what to do with money.

If it was an ordinary traveler who came to this ancient time, the first project to make a fortune would naturally be to make glass.

But just now when Jia Rui was in Jia Zheng's study, he saw that the window of Jia Zheng's study was covered with glass.

And in the novel "A Dream of Red Mansions", in Jia Baoyu's room, there is a glass mirror as tall as a person.

What does this mean?At least it shows that things like glass have become popular in the homes of the rich and powerful in this dynasty.

At this time, if I go to make glass and compete for the market with other established families, the result will be destroyed by others.

If you want to do this kind of money-making business, you can only use your power to forcibly suppress all opposition when you are in power. Only in this way can you make money.

After thinking about it, Jia Ruisi finally stood up, left his room, and went straight to the study of the main room, Jia Dairu.

When he entered the door, his grandfather was indeed holding a book, shaking his head and reading it.

Jia Rui stepped forward gently to exchange a cup of hot tea for his grandfather, and then stood beside him respectfully.

Jia Dairu glanced at Jia Rui, and asked angrily, "How much more?"

It turns out that in the past, Jia Rui would behave very well every time he asked for money from his family.

Therefore, Jia Dairu has now formed a conditioned reflex. As long as Jia Rui is more respectful to him, he will immediately know that Jia Rui is here to ask for money.

Jia Rui smiled awkwardly, and then said in a low voice: "The grandson is now doing business with others, and he needs 1000 taels of silver."

Jia Dairu had just taken a sip of tea. When he heard that his grandson wanted 1000 taels of silver, he immediately sprayed the tea onto the ground.

"You sold my old bone, do you think it's worth 1000 taels?"

After saying this, Jia Dairu's face turned livid, his brows were twitching, and he seemed like he couldn't bear it anymore.

Jia Rui had seen this expression several times, and every time Jia Rui appeared, he would be severely beaten.

So Jia Rui hurriedly said: "Grandpa, my grandson is doing something serious. If he makes money this time, our family will be prosperous and prosperous soon."

Jia Dairu felt a little confused when he saw that Jia Rui's expression was serious and not as smooth as before.

Is the grandson really doing business with others?
But now he has just gone to Long Jinwei as an errand, how can he have time to do business?
"Tell me the truth, what do you want these 1000 taels of silver for? If you tell a lie, I will break your leg."

Jia Rui scratched his forehead. Could he really tell Jia Dairu that he would spend 1000 taels of silver and the system to buy the soul-destroying talisman?

However, Jia Rui came from modern times and was baptized by the explosion of knowledge, so he had an idea in a flash.

"Hehe, did your grandfather see it?"

"You kid, you have no great skills since you were a child, and you have a lot of tricks, but you still want to hide this trick from me?"

"Yes, yes, my grandfather has a clever plan and can win a thousand miles away."

"Don't talk about these useless things, tell me what you want to do."

Jia Rui pretended to hesitate for a while, and finally he seemed to have made up his mind before he said: "I heard from my colleagues that Captain Long wants to choose a small captain. If you want to get this position, you can't do without 800 taels."

After hearing this, Jia Dairu's face softened a little, but he continued to ask: "You just went in to work for a day, even the captain of Xiaoxuan squad can't get your turn."

"Grandfather, 800 taels of silver is naturally not my turn, but if we pay 1000 taels of silver, maybe."

After hearing this, Jia Dairu stood up and walked a few steps in the study.

To say that if you really spend 1000 taels of silver, you can raise your grandson even further, that would be a good thing.

Now my grandson is a real job at the fifth rank, and if he goes up to a higher level, he will at least be at the fourth rank.

Such a position is considered the first in the Jia family.

But if a family like my own wanted to scrape together 1000 taels of silver, it would be a pain in the ass. I'm afraid the small village outside the capital would have to sell half of it.

Jia Dairu walked back and forth in the room for a long time, but he didn't make up his mind in the end. After all, once he took out the 1000 taels of silver, if Jia Rui was not promoted, life at home would be difficult in the future.

"Go back first, let me think about it."

Jia Rui saw that although Jia Dairu didn't agree on the spot, he didn't refuse either. Knowing that there was still something to be done, Jia Rui saluted happily and withdrew.

In the evening, Jia Dairu returned to his bedroom and sat on the bed, a little distracted.

Mrs. Wang left, came over to bring a cup of tea to her husband, and asked, "What's wrong with you today? I found something wrong with you during the meal. Is there something wrong?"

Jia Dairu looked at his old wife, finally sighed, and said all that Jia Rui said to him this afternoon.

Mrs. Wang burst into laughter after hearing this.

"I thought I was stumped by something. It turned out that you were worried about such a small thing."

"Is this a trivial matter? Do you know that if he spends the money again this time, our family may not even be able to afford porridge?"

Mrs. Wang stepped forward and gently tapped her husband on the shoulder, and then said: "Didn't you notice? Since Rui'er recovered from her illness this time, she has become more motivated than before. Moreover, she is not as frivolous as before, but quite frivolous. For stability."

Jia Dairu lowered his head and thought for a while, indeed.

Since his grandson recovered from his illness this time, although he is still as afraid of himself as before, he has become quite organized in dealing with others.

"Then you want to give him the money?"

Mrs. Wang nodded, and then said: "This family will always be handed over to him in the future. This time is also a test for him. If it really succeeds, it will be good. If it doesn't work, then I won't give him a penny in the future." gone."

Jia Dairu smiled wryly.

It sounds nice, but if Jia Rui loses the 1000 taels of silver this time, it will be equivalent to destroying the life savings of the old couple and the farm passed down by their ancestors.

However, if Jia Rui is not given the 1000 taels of silver, if his grandson loses the opportunity to advance this time, he may not know how many years it will take to have such a good opportunity.

If you don't see Jia Zheng from the West Mansion, he has been working in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and he is only a fifth rank.

But people like this still look down on me. When Jia Rui was seriously ill, I went to Jia Zheng's place to ask for ginseng, but I only got a few taels of ginseng whiskers.

After thinking of this, Jia Dairu made up his mind to give it a try this time, and if it succeeds, he will be able to feel proud afterwards.
