Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 20 Jia Dairu's Past
"Eunuch Dai, what about Huang Bingcheng, what should Mr. Huang do?"

Huang Bingcheng is now the official of Long Jinwei, and now he has been directly replaced by Jia Rui. What the Lord should do next depends on Dai Quan's attitude.

Dai Quan waved his hand indifferently, and then said, "Brother Jia, don't worry about this matter, I'll do it for you."

With Dai Quan's promise, Jia Rui nodded with satisfaction. It was best for Dai Quan to handle this matter. After all, this was an offending job.

Jia Rui had been on guard duty in front of the Dragon Head Palace until it got dark.

Only then did Dai Quan come out of the Dragon Head Palace again, came to Jia Rui's side and said with a smile, "Master Jia, it's already time, why don't you go back home?"

"Eunuch Dai, I am on duty as a subordinate today, so I am not allowed to leave my post today. I can't go back until tomorrow morning."

"Haha, you, why are you confused?"

Jia Rui was confused by the other party. He quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice next to Dai Quan: "Is there anything wrong with what I did? I would like to ask my father-in-law to clarify his doubts."

When Dai Quan saw Jia Rui, he really asked for advice sincerely, and Jia Rui was considered to be in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, and his success in the future is just around the corner. Give him some help now, and he will gain even more benefits in the future.

Therefore, Dai Quan said to Jia Rui: "Now you are the official of the Dragon Guard, a dignified fourth-rank official, and you have to show your face in front of the Supreme Emperor every day. If you work night shifts every day, how can you survive? "

After saying this, Dai Quan smiled and said: "According to the rules, as long as you come to count the number of people in the morning and wait in the palace for the Supreme Emperor's summons, you can go back to the palace on your own in the evening."

"Eunuch Dai, doesn't Captain Long need training?"

This is also Jia Rui's biggest doubt since he entered the Dragon Guard.

After he became the Dragon Guard, he just went on duty every day and went home after finishing his work. He never went through a single training session.

"Master Jia is still very diligent."

After praising Jia Rui, Dai Quan continued: "There are no written regulations on training, and these Dragon Guards are all children of aristocratic families, so I'm afraid they won't be able to endure the hardships. But if Mr. Jia thinks that training is necessary, then he can give them any training Just give it time. Anyway, Master Jia has the final say on all matters related to Captain Long."

It was only now that Jia Rui fully understood that Captain Long was actually just a showman, who usually said he was guarding the Supreme Emperor, but he was actually a guard of honor.

In the absence of resistance, Long Jinwei naturally has no scruples, but as long as he resists a little, Long Jinwei may become a softie.

After all, Long Jinwei was also the first department he took charge of. If he was defeated like this, how would he go out to meet people?

It seems that we need to give these guys more attention in the future and take time to train them. They are not required to become elite soldiers on the battlefield, but at least they can fight with blood without fainting after seeing blood.

After chatting a few gossips with Dai Quan, Jia Rui saw that the time was almost up, so he left the palace in good faith, and went back to the mansion without going to the yamen outside the palace.

After returning home, Jia Dairu was very angry when he saw Jia Rui's sudden return.

It's only been a long time since he started to be lazy. This is to let Shangguan catch him, so it's worth paying off, and all the precious money spent by the family will be in vain.

Therefore, he didn't waste any time talking to Jia Rui and said directly to the old housekeeper next to him: "Go get me some family advice."

The old butler didn't want to go, but seeing Jia Dairu's livid face, he didn't dare to refute, so he hurried to the porter's room and brought a big stick.

In Jia Rui's memory, this situation happened several times, and every time it happened, he had to suffer a lot.

Now Jia Rui doesn't want to be beaten in vain, so he hurriedly said: "Grandfather, grandson hasn't done any errands these days, why beat me?"

"He also said that he didn't do anything bad, why did you come back early today?"

When Jia Rui heard that it was for this matter, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandfather, wait a moment and listen to me to explain the reason."

Jia Dairu's stick had already been lifted up, but it didn't fall down. After all, his grandson's health was just right. If he hit another good or bad shot, it would be too late for him to regret it.

"Say, if you're not serious, I'll break your leg."

Jia Rui hurriedly adjusted his clothes, and then cupped his hands in the direction of the palace.

"Thanks to the favor of the Supreme Emperor, I was promoted to be the commander of the fourth-rank dragon forbidden captain today, so as long as I go on duty every day, I can go home at night."

When Jia Dairu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and the stick in his hand fell to the ground, and then his eyes began to cry involuntarily.

"What an eye-opener! I, Jia Dairu, are finally about to develop."

Although Jia Dairu is an old scholar, it does not mean that he knows nothing about official affairs.

The commander of the Dragon Guard seems to be only a fourth-grade officer, but he is a personal guard of the Supreme Emperor, and those who can hold this position are the close associates of the Supreme Emperor.

Now that my grandson holds this position, what does that mean?It means that his grandson's great success is just around the corner.

"Old lady, hurry up and prepare a table of good food, something good happens today."

Mrs. Wang, who was busy with needlework in the house, hurried out of the house after hearing Jia Dairu's words. Seeing Jia Dairu trembling with excitement, she was a little strange.

"What good thing is it that makes you so excited?"

"Our grandson has become prosperous and has been promoted. He is the commander of Longjing Lieutenant."

Although Mrs. Wang didn't know how big an official Long Jinwei was, she knew it was a great thing just seeing Jia Dairu happy like this.

So, with a smile on his face, he quickly ordered the cook to make an exception and prepare a few delicious dishes.

Jia Rui, who was standing aside, was also very happy to see his grandparents happy like this.

Since he became Jia Rui, the concern of his grandparents for him can be seen with naked eyes.

Therefore, Jia Rui now respects these two elderly people from the bottom of his heart and regards them as his real relatives.

In the evening, Jia Dairu and Jia Rui were in the study, eating the banquet specially prepared for them by Mrs. Wang, and began to talk there.

In fact, it was mainly Jia Dairu who was talking and Jia Rui who was listening.

"It turns out that your great-grandfather also served in the army, but he did not have Duke Xianrong and Duke Ning. These two made great contributions, but they were able to make thousands of households."

When he said this, Jia Dairu sighed for a while.

Back then, his father was indeed incompetent on the battlefield, and he was a little bit greedy for life and afraid of death, so his achievements were not outstanding. He could only be the helper of Qianhu and his two brothers.

If his father had fought as hard as Ning Guo Gong and Rong Guo Gong, he would have at least received a title on the battlefield and passed it on to future generations.

Now in my own generation, I can only rely on the two mansions of Rong Guogong and Ning Guogong to get by, barely eating and drinking.

This is a huge psychological torture for Jia Dairu who is very self-respecting.

And this kind of psychological torture becomes darker and darker as we get older.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have forced Jia Rui not to get married if he didn't read out his fame.

This is also the hope that in Jia Rui's generation, his family can turn around again and let those who look down on him see that although he does not have a good father, he has a good grandson who can still enjoy prosperity and wealth with peace of mind.
