Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 266 Mrs. Wang is on stage again

Yuanyang entered the house and saw Jia Mu's unhappy face, and began to be cautious.

Mother Jia calmed down for a while, and then pretended to be nonchalant and said to Yuanyang: "Your Second Grandma Lian is not feeling well. Just let her rest for the next few days. Let the second daughter-in-law take on the responsibility of the family affairs for the time being. "

Yuanyang nodded quickly after hearing this, and then quietly left after seeing that Jia Mu had no instructions.

When Yuanyang left Jia Mu's yard, he saw Ping'er still standing not far away, so he hurried over.

"What does your grandma mean?"

Ping'er blinked, "You are so smart, haven't you guessed that our grandma doesn't want to pay this money?"

After Yuanyang heard this, there was a trace of blush on his face, and then he muttered: "You said your grandma is like Lao Zhe, why do you save so much money?"

Ping'er tapped Yuanyang's forehead with his hand, and then said: "Thank you for being so smart. Our grandma didn't have a son before, but now she has little Jia Ping, so now everything she has is left for little Jia Ping." of."

After hearing this, Yuanyang didn't say anything, just sighed softly.

Other people's parents try their best to make detailed arrangements for their children's future. How can their own parents persuade themselves to marry an old man for the sake of glory and wealth?

Seeing Yuanyang's face, Ping'er knew that he was remembering the sad things of the past few days again, so he sighed and said nothing more.

After a while, Yuanyang's face became better and he said to Ping'er:
"Go back quickly and ask your grandma to prepare the account books!"

Yuanyang is reminding Ping'er to settle the accounts, otherwise something will happen during the handover.

Ping'er smiled coldly, "Do we still need to keep these account books in our house? They have been in deficit for a long time. If our grandma hadn't filled them in with her own money, the whole family would have had to drink the northwest wind."

"Has it really come to this point?"

Ping'er didn't answer, but his face became more sarcastic.

Seeing this, Yuanyang began to feel nervous. He wouldn't let this incident break the old foundation of the seemingly peaceful Rongguo Mansion.

Ping'er saw that he had been out for a long time and could not stay any longer. He just said quietly to Yuanyang: "Look at the old lady's warehouse. Don't let others get greedy. You will also be in front of the old lady when the time comes." Shameless."

After saying that, Ping'er turned and left.

Yuanyang stood there stunned for a long time. She raised her foot and wanted to go back to persuade Jia Mu, but after thinking about it, she finally stopped.

Afterwards, she left Rongqing Hall with a depressed look on her face and went straight to Mrs. Wang.

Besides, Mrs. Wang was angry with Wang Xifeng. She returned to her small courtyard and was looking for trouble with Aunt Zhao when she noticed the anger in her chest.

When Yuanyang entered the yard, Aunt Zhao was kneeling in the middle of the yard, shivering under the winter sun.

However, people in the mansion are used to seeing this kind of thing, so few people care about it, and Yuanyang is no exception.

Therefore, Yuanyang just glanced at Aunt Zhao, then passed her and came to the front of the main room.

When Yuchai saw Yuanyang coming, she quickly said loudly, "Sister Yuanyang is here."

Then she lifted the door curtain and let Yuanyang in.

Yuanyang entered the house and immediately smelled the scent of sandalwood, which made Yuanyang almost sneeze.

Then I saw Mrs. Wang sitting in the middle, holding a rosary in her hand, burning sandalwood next to her, staring at a Buddhist scripture on the table.

Yuanyang stepped forward in small steps, "Please greet me, Madam."

Mrs. Wang opened her eyes and said with a smile: "If you don't serve me at the old lady's place, why do you come to my place?"

"As far as my wife is concerned, Second Grandma Lian is not feeling well, so the old lady asked her to take charge of the house temporarily."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt ecstatic in her heart.

Since that incident, she has been deprived of her rights as the head of the family. Now she is good and can finally regain her own rights.

But although she was happy in her heart, she said very reservedly on the surface: "I'm old and can't take care of so many things. Why don't you let the old lady find someone who is young and capable?"

Yuanyang opened his mouth, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

Caixia, who was beside Mrs. Wang at this time, hurriedly came over to advise Mrs. Wang in her ears.

"Madam, Second Grandma Lian seems to be very ill. Otherwise, why would she have given up her job? Without her, you are the only one who can shoulder the burden in this family. Do you want the eldest family to be the head of the family?"

In fact, Mrs. Wang had no intention of not taking over. She just wanted to be reserved. Now after listening to Caixia's words, she said to Yuanyang with a smile:

"Since Girl Feng is sick, let her recover well. I will take care of the family matters."

In fact, Mrs. Wang is also very disdainful of Wang Xifeng. She actually gave up her job and stopped running the family just for 800 taels of silver. Isn't this a small gain but a big gain?
When Yuanyang saw that the matter was done, he quickly said goodbye and left.

After Yuanyang left, Wang Xifeng said to Caixia on the side: "Since the old lady asked us to shoulder this burden, we don't have to wait until the afternoon. You go to Feng Yatou now and ask her to send me the account book. I’ll watch it first and order it in the afternoon.”

After hearing this, Caixia quickly performed Wanfu and then left the house to find Wang Xifeng.

Not to mention that the Jia family is lively here, but also that Jia Rui accompanied Mrs. Wang back to her Dingxi Marquis Mansion.

After coming back, Mrs. Wang sat on the main seat in the main hall and kept sighing.Jia Rui was confused by the old man's troubles, "Old lady, what's wrong with you? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

"Hey, thinking about what happened in Rongguo Mansion just now, I couldn't help but sigh. In the eyes of outsiders, the old lady is so glorious, but who knows that she is also suffering."

Jia Rui rolled his eyes upward after listening to Mrs. Wang's words, and he thought to himself: Is Jia's mother still suffering?She didn't know how free and easy life was.

She is largely responsible for the fact that Rongguo Mansion is unable to make ends meet.

She has also been the head wife of her family all her life. Doesn’t she know the current situation of the Jia family?The reason why she can still enjoy it with peace of mind is because he knows that Wang Xifeng is there to support her. As long as Wang Xifeng does not collapse, their family will not be short of money.

In Dream of Red Mansions, Wang Xifeng was forced to sell her dowry not just for family expenses, but now that Wang Xifeng has income, she is much more generous than before, making Rongguo Mansion even more prosperous.

But all this is based on Wang Xifeng's money.

Based on Jia Rui's understanding of Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng's patience has reached its limit and will soon give up.

However, he couldn't tell anyone about this kind of thing, so he only agreed with Mrs. Wang.

Fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye, and Jia Rui began to collect his emotions again and went to the cabinet office.

This time Jia Rui entered the cabinet and clearly felt that his power had become stronger.

The three bachelors were no longer convinced by Jia Ruimian.

This made Jia Rui's work progress more smoothly, and with the support of the Supreme Emperor, Jia Rui could almost decide the operation of the entire empire by himself.

On this day, Jia Rui came out of the cabinet and went to Longshou Palace to pay his respects to his thick-legged emperor.

As soon as I entered the palace, I found that the atmosphere today was different from before. The maids and eunuchs were all cautious and did not dare to make a sound.

Seeing this scene, Jia Rui began to beat his heart. The atmosphere was not right today. Could it be that the Emperor was angry?
But there haven't been any big events in the court recently.

In this way, while Jia Rui was thinking wildly, he entered the main hall of Longshou Palace and came to the room next to the main hall where the Supreme Emperor usually rested.

When I went in, I saw the Supreme Emperor sitting listlessly on the kang, with a little eunuch kneeling on the ground next to him.

Jia Rui slipped along the wall and came to the Supreme Emperor. "Your Majesty, Jia Rui, pays my respects to the Supreme Emperor."

The Emperor raised his head and Jia Rui was startled. It turned out that the Emperor's eyes were red. Judging by this, he must have cried not long ago.

"Your Majesty, your old man's health is just right. Don't be too sad. If you have anything to say, let us all discuss it!"

The Supreme Emperor shook his head gently.Then he pointed to Zhao Jin next to him, which meant that Zhao Jin should explain to Jia Rui.

After Zhao Jin pulled Jia Rui aside, he whispered: "Concubine Zhen is unwell, and the doctors are helpless."

Jia Rui was stunned for a moment, in disbelief.

You must know that he met Concubine Zhen some time ago. At that time, Concubine Zhen had a rosy face and a loud voice, and she did not look like she was sick.

"What disease do you have?"

"The imperial doctors can't tell the whole story."

Jia Rui was helpless this time.

He was able to buy some elixirs from the martial arts world, but these elixirs were not a panacea that could cure all diseases.

It may be okay to use them to maintain the body, but if you really use them to treat diseases, you don't have to think about it. It's good if you can avoid eating bad people.

The Supreme Emperor waved his hand dejectedly and asked the little eunuch who was kneeling below to get down.

"Jia Rui!"

"Wei Chen is here."

"How do you know you are so capable? Is there any way you can bring the dead back to life?"

Jia Rui felt that the Supreme Emperor was already a little crazy.

If I had that ability, I wouldn't have gone to war the last time I rescued the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, Jia Ruizhi lowered his head and said: "If Chen's Qigong is still there, maybe it can be cured, but now Wei Chen is just an ordinary person and there is nothing he can do."

The Emperor often sighed after hearing Jia Rui's words. Concubine Zhen was also born at the wrong time.

"Prepare another copy of the medicine you gave me before. Now I can only treat a dead horse as a live doctor."

What the Supreme Emperor is talking about is mainly Jiuhua Jade Dew Pills.

When the Emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River, Jia Rui was afraid that the Emperor's body would collapse due to being too romantic in Jiangnan, so he sent Jiuhua Yulu Pills every now and then to prevent the Emperor's body from completely collapsing.

Now the Emperor remembered the medicine that made him light and healthy.

"I still have some at home, and I will send someone to get them immediately."
