Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 290 Press the gourd and pick up the scoop

In the afternoon of that day, Cheng Ying took a car to the Dingxi Hou Mansion, and then came to find Xue Pan, and then comforted her with gentle words.

In fact, Cheng Ying is really good-looking. Although she has a bad temper at home, Xue Pan really can't hate her.

But now that Cheng Ying lowered her figure, Xue Pan seemed to have returned to the days when they first met and got married.

Chen Chengying was so pitiful back then, and that's what stirred Xue Pan's mind.

Seeing her like this again, Xue Pan couldn't bear it. He patted his chest on the spot and wanted to go home with her.

Xue Baochai, who was watching from the side, was so angry that he stamped his feet. This brother had been drugged by Cheng Ying and lost his mind as soon as he saw her.

But she couldn't help it. She couldn't dissuade the couple from going home. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and wanted Xiangling to go back with her. At least she had something to think about.

But now Xue Pan's thoughts are all on Cheng Ying, so where can he see Xiang Ling?He refused directly.

In the end, Cheng Ying proudly took Xue Pan home like a victorious general.

In the evening, Xue Baochai told Jia Ruixue about this matter, gritting his teeth as he spoke, as if Cheng Ying could bite off a piece of her flesh in front of her.

But Jia Rui comforted Xue Baochai with a smile, as if listening to a story.

In the next few days, Xue Baochai began to make plans to build the ancestral hall, and she did not hide the matter, and the whole city knew about it.

The purpose of her doing this was to test Jia Mu's attitude through this incident.

Sure enough, the gossip quickly reached Jia Mu's ears.

After Jia Mu heard the news, she closed her eyes and thought for a long time, and finally sighed, she couldn't control the matter.

As long as their Rongguo Mansion is safe and sound, there is nothing they can do if Ningguo Mansion loses its position as patriarch.

However, what Jia Rui did in this matter was indeed somewhat unreasonable.

It was the brothers Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong who founded the Jia family. Ning Guogong was the eldest brother, so he was naturally the patriarch.

As for Jia Rui's branch, they are just a side branch. As the leader of the clan, he is like a commoner entering and leaving the main sect, which has some meaning of chaos.

But this is all a family matter, and as long as you don't have an opinion, others can't say much.

Just when the Jia family was talking about Jia Rui as the team leader, there was another big mess on the Rongguo Mansion side, and a shocking hole was pierced by the people of the Rongguo Mansion.

On this day, Jia Rui had dinner at Xue Baochai's place, and then turned around and came to Aunt Zhen's place.

Aunt Zhen's life was very relaxed during this period. Compared with the cage in the palace, Jia Rui's place was like paradise.

Therefore, her character became more and more lively and cheerful. Among all the women in Jia Rui, she became the most childish and the most popular with Jia Rui. Even the little nun who was raised by Jia Rui outside was more childish than the other. Not to her.

Today she saw Jia Rui coming. Instead of being happy, she acted like a child and turned her head aside, not looking at Jia Rui.

Jia Rui touched his nose and couldn't figure out what happened. He didn't offend this little aunt during this time!

Jia Rui quietly went up, hugged Aunt Zhen from behind, and then asked in her ear: "Sister-in-law, who are you angry with?"

"Why haven't you come to my place for several days? Did you have a new girl and forget about me?"

"Conscience of heaven and earth, I have been so busy with affairs at court these days that I hit the back of my head with my feet. As soon as I get home, I want to go to bed. I have no time to stir up bees and butterflies!"

After hearing Jia Rui's words, Aunt Zhen seemed to lose some of her energy, and turned her head to rest on Jia Rui's shoulder.

"I can only rely on you now. If you ignore me, I will have no choice but to die."

"What are you talking about that is depressing! Our lives will be long in the future. I will also watch you give birth to a child for me, and we will raise him together in the future."

Aunt Zhen likes to hear Jia Rui's flattering words. Now she is on Jia Rui's body, her cheeks are red.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jia Rui picked up Aunt Zhen and laid her on the bed. When the two of them were about to enter the alley, Brother Ying's annoying voice came from outside.

"Uncle, please come out quickly. The old lady asked you to come over."

Jia Rui, who was lying on the bed with Aunt Zhen in his arms, gritted his teeth in anger.

It's true that Xue Baochai would ask this little ancestor to bother him every time at this critical moment.

Xue Baochai also saw Jia Rui's weakness and knew that Jia Rui felt very sorry for Brother Ying, so Jia Rui would not punish her if she did anything extraordinary.

If you had asked Ying'er to handle this kind of thing, Jia Rui would have beaten her so hard that her mother wouldn't even recognize her.

Jia Rui had no choice but to look at Aunt Zhen apologetically.

Aunt Zhen pursed her lips and smiled. She was very clear about Jia Rui's current anger. She also found it funny to see him left there unable to get up or down.

Finally, Jia Rui rearranged his clothes under Aunt Zhen's service, and then walked out of the yard.

When I came to the yard, I saw several maids looking at Brother Ying angrily.

There was even a grumpy one who already had a broom in his hand.

Fortunately, Jia Rui came out early, otherwise there would have been a chaotic fight in the yard. "What are you doing? Throw things down."

The maid holding the broom threw the broom to the ground angrily.

Jia Rui looked at the arrogant Brother Ying who was standing not far away, and shook his head gently, thinking that you have already bullied others into this, and you still have this expression, no wonder they want to beat you.

"What's going on over there, old man?"

Although Jia Rui dotes on Brother Ying very much, he still feels a little unhappy about her disturbing his good things this time, so his tone is a little anxious.

Brother Ying looked at Jia Rui, tears immediately appeared in his eyes, as if Jia Rui was such a heartless person.

She loves Ying Ge Jia Rui very much, treating him not only as her sister, but also as her future wife and concubine, so she is different from others.

Seeing her aggrieved expression now, Jia Rui's anger suddenly disappeared.

"Okay, okay, didn't I say anything? Why are you crying again?"

Seeing Jia Rui's soft words, the sad expression on Brother Ying's face immediately disappeared, and a bright smile appeared again.

Jia Rui had no choice but to walk out while holding the little girl, muttering to her: "What will you do if you give birth to a child in the future? Will you take care of the child, or will the child take care of you?"

But Brother Ying still looked careless and followed Jia Rui with a smile.

Jia Rui walked out from Aunt Zhen's place and then came to the inner study of Mr. Jia Dairu.

When I came in, there was no one inside.

Jia Rui frowned and turned to look at Brother Ying.

"What way are you leading? Where did the old lady call me?"

Brother Ying also felt aggrieved. What was said just now was that Jia Rui was asked to go to the inner study. Why is there no one there now?

Jia Rui had no choice but to go to Mrs. Wang to inquire.

After Mrs. Wang saw Jia Rui, she immediately pulled him over to sit down as usual, and then whispered in Jia Rui's ear: "Go to the outer study quickly, someone has caused trouble for you again."

When Jia Rui saw Mrs. Wang in such a hurry, he knew it must be something big, so in the end he could only hurried to the outer study room in the front yard.

When he entered the outer study, he saw Lai Dazheng kneeling in front of the old man, his face a little pale.

Jia Rui frowned. Lai Da was the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion. He was so frightened when he came to his house at this time. Could it be that Rongguo Mansion caused a disaster?
Jia Dairu saw Jia Rui coming in and quickly waved to him to sit next to him.

After Jia Rui sat down, he asked: "Old man, what's going on?"

Jia Dairu sighed, and then said: "Jia Lian abandoned his official position and fled back."

When Jia Rui heard this, he almost slipped from the chair to the ground.

He had already lost his relationship with him, and soon he would be transferred to Qiantang to be the prefect. Why did he abandon his official position and escape back at this time?

Didn't Jia Zheng, who was an official in the same place, take care of him?Just let him act like this.

You must know that this is a peaceful and prosperous age, but there is no situation like the troubled times where people abandon their official positions and run away without anyone caring about them.

If the court knew about it, Jia Lian would have to shed his skin even if he died, let alone become an official.

Jia Lian's life is ruined. Whether he can inherit the title of Rong Guofu in the future is still a question.

Thinking of this, Jia Rui was also a little worried. If Jia Lian could not inherit the title of Rongguo Mansion, wouldn't his little Jia Ping be ruined too?
After thinking of this, Jia Rui gritted his teeth in anger.

"What is he thinking? No matter how hard it is in Hainan, he still wants to be an official. Can it really kill him?"

Jia Dairu is actually trembling with anger in his heart now. He originally saw that Jia Lian is relatively capable among the younger generation, but he didn't expect that he would act like this. If he had known this, he might as well have stayed at home. Why should he be an official? ?

But after all, Jia Dairu was old and could suppress his anger. He stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to talk about this. You should go to Rongguo Mansion quickly and see how this matter is resolved."

Jerry sighed.

Jia Lian is the first official to abandon his official position and run away since the founding of the People's Republic of China. This is the first time such a thing has happened to emperors in recent generations.

This matter will definitely be reported to the Supreme Emperor, and I will be embarrassed by that time.

It is impossible to cover up this matter. The only way is to go to the Supreme Emperor to ask for mercy, lift the board high and let it fall gently.

Then Jia Rui stood up and hurriedly left the Dingxihou Mansion with Lai Da. The two of them entered the Rongguo Mansion through the side door quickly without taking a sedan chair.

As soon as he entered Rongguo Mansion, he saw Yuanyang waiting anxiously there.

After Yuanyang saw Jia Rui, he hurriedly went up to perform the blessing, and then, although his tone was hurried, he still said like a silver bell: "The old lady asked Mr. Hou to go to the back quickly."

Jia Rui nodded with a sullen face, and then led Yuanyang through the second door and arrived in front of Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall.
