Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 320 Visit
Chen Guozi was also a little stunned.

He knew Jia Rui's temper even better than Jia Rui himself.

Although Jia Rui is quite capable, the young man was suddenly promoted and he was arrogant.

Just now, I provoked him like this. According to my understanding, Jia Rui should jump up and make a big fuss with him.

In this case, he can continue to speak in front of the Supreme Emperor and keep the Supreme Emperor away from Jia Rui.

However, I didn't expect Jia Rui to be able to endure his anger.

It seems that I still underestimate Jia Rui a little, and I can't take it lightly in the future.

"Haha, thank you Master Jia. When I meet Prince Nan'an, I will definitely convey Master Jia's concern for him." Chen Guozi answered Jia Rui with a vague smile.

Jia Rui looked at the other party's smiling expression, and his teeth itched with hatred.

In the end, Jia Rui really didn't want to stay in this room anymore. If he stayed any longer, the old guy Chen Guozi would be furious.

So he tossed his sleeves and left the cabinet, walked around the yard, but had nowhere to go. Finally, he turned around the red wall and went straight to the Dragon Head Palace.

After entering the Longshou Palace and outside the main hall, the Emperor soon sent a message to let him in, and Jia Rui dared to enter the main hall.

The Supreme Emperor was sitting on the throne, holding an ancient book and flipping through it. He caught sight of Jia Rui coming in, put down the book in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Prime Minister Jia, are you here to file a complaint against me?"

This sentence made Jia Rui feel a little embarrassed. He had been thinking about it all the way, but he didn't know what to say.

The Supreme Emperor also saw Jia Rui's embarrassment. He smiled and stepped off the throne, came to Jia Rui and patted his shoulder.

"Jia Aiqing, don't be as knowledgeable as Chen Guozi. You are different from him."

Just saying this made Jia Rui feel extremely at ease.

Then Jia Rui lowered his head with tears in his eyes and said: "As the Supreme Emperor said, even if you ask me to die, I am willing to do so."

The Emperor nodded with emotion. As expected, Jia Rui was still loyal. His small words of encouragement actually made him grateful.

Then, the Supreme Emperor walked to the cubicle, sat down on the kang, and then ordered Qin Shun who was following him to move a chair for Jia Rui and place it on the opposite side.

Jia Rui apologized and sat down with peace of mind.

The Supreme Emperor likes Jia Rui's unpretentious appearance in front of him, unlike other ministers who appear to be trembling in front of him, but are full of tricks in their stomachs.

"Jia Aiqing, as I said before, don't interfere with the Navy's affairs for the time being. We will talk about it after a while."

Jia Rui nodded, somewhat understanding what the Supreme Emperor meant.

On the surface, the Supreme Emperor was delegating power to Nan'an County Prince and others, but in fact, was it not a way to weaken their power?
If the Prince of Nan'an County is really the Supreme Emperor of Qingfeng with Two Sleeves, he will naturally have nothing to say. If this guy dares to take bribes and pervert the law, then this is the knife that will be delivered to the Supreme Emperor.

At that time, people in the world will not blame the Supreme Emperor for not cherishing the friendship that lasted several lifetimes.

This is Jia Rui. The Supreme Emperor can tell some truths in front of him. If it were someone else's Supreme Emperor, he would naturally not give such obvious hints.

Jia Rui was happy now, the resentment in his chest disappeared without a trace, and a smile began to appear on his face.

The Supreme Emperor looked at Jia Rui's lackluster appearance and shook his head gently. Jia Aiqing still had to continue to practice.

"It's not okay to be like this. I'll tell you how you came back later. If a little bit of news leaks out, it's up to me to deal with you." The Supreme Emperor laughed and scolded.

After hearing what the Supreme Emperor said, Jia Rui's face immediately became grim, as if someone owed him hundreds of money.

"Yes, that's what it looks like." The Supreme Emperor pointed at Jia Rui's face and said with a smile.

Jia Rui pretended for a while, but couldn't pretend anymore and started to laugh.

For a time, the side hall of Longshou Palace was full of joy and laughter.

Just when lunch was about to begin, Jia Rui came out from the Supreme Emperor's place.

After coming out, Jia Rui's mood was completely different from when he came.

When Jia Rui came, there was a storm in his heart, but when he returned, it was clear and clear.

In this way, Jia Rui slowly returned to the cabinet, but when he was in front of the door, Jia Rui's face immediately became grim.

With a creak, Jia Rui pushed the door open and went in. Several other universities in the cabinet raised their heads and looked at Jia Rui.

All I saw was that Jia Rui's face was ashen, as if his parents were dead.

He Chaodong, Li Chengyang, and Zhu Biao looked at each other in confusion.

Jia Rui went out just now, obviously to see the Supreme Emperor, but when he came back, his face not only did not improve, but became even more ugly. It was obvious that he had hit a wall with the Supreme Emperor.

This is something that has never happened before.

Only Chen Guozi, who was sitting far away, was stroking his beard and looking at Jia Rui's expression. He still had a humble smile on his face, but he didn't know what this guy was thinking.

Jia Rui strolled past Chen Guoxin's seat, suddenly stopped, and then whispered that only Chen Guozi could hear: "You win this time, let's see next time."

After saying that, he stamped his foot hard and returned to his seat.

When Chen Guozi heard Jia Rui's threatening words, not only was he not angry, but there was also a hint of joy in his heart.

You, Jia Rui, are still young, relying on the favor of the Supreme Emperor, and you already know how high the sky is. But you don’t know that the most difficult thing to guess in the world is the emperor’s heart.The morning's work ended quickly. Jia Rui did not eat in the cabinet, but left in a hurry from the cabinet.

Several other college students in the cabinet looked at Jia Rui's leaving figure and felt a little embarrassed.

He Chaodong and Li Chengyang looked at each other, then they both stood up, walked to Chen Guozi's table, took a memorial and began to ask for advice.

Chen Guozi was naturally very happy about this. Didn't you, Jia Rui, only ask me to approve ten memorials every day?
so what?
As long as I am willing, I can at least be half in charge of the memorials in the cabinet.

He thought this, and then began to point out the two bachelors.

The two bachelors nodded frequently like primary school students, and then the two memorials wrote comments according to Chen Guozi's wishes.

Besides, Jia Rui left the palace and did not go home. Instead, he went to the little nun Jingchen.

I had a casual meal here, and then stayed with Jingchen Niwai until the afternoon, then left the courtyard and came to Rongguo Mansion.

The arrival of Jia Rui did not open the door of Rongguo Mansion.

This is not because Jia Rui's current official position does not have the qualifications, but because Jia Rui respects Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion, he has already issued an order. Without the emperor's imperial edict and the victorious general returning to the court, the middle gate will never be opened again. .

This move by Jia Rui increased his reputation in the clan.

After Jia Rui entered Ningguo Mansion through the side door, he came to Jia Mu under the personal reception of Aunt Lai.

After entering, Jia Rui first saluted Jia Mu, and then Jia Mu quickly asked someone to set up a seat next to her.

After Jia Rui was done, Jia's mother asked: "You are so busy, how come you have time to come to my place?"

Jia Rui took the tea bowl from Yuanyangdi, took a sip, and then said: "Yesterday Baochai went back and said that Sister Lin was sick, so I came over to take a look."

"Oh, so that's what happened." After Jia Mu finished speaking, there was worry on her face.

Jia Rui glanced at Jia Mu and saw the worry on her face, knowing that Jia Mu's control over Rongguo Mansion was no longer as tight as before.

Although the original Jia Mu usually smiled, once she made a decision, no one in the entire Rongguo Mansion would dare to object.

At that time, Mother Jia naturally didn't look worried.

Jia Rui's mind changed and he understood Jia Mu's situation.

Now, Jia Zheng is the second-rank governor of Hainan, and Jia Yuanchun is a noble concubine in the palace, and is quite favored by the emperor.

As a result, Mrs. Wang's mind will naturally not be as peaceful as before, and she will not be as obedient to the old lady's orders as before.

It seems that Mrs. Wang has been doing a lot of tricks during this period, and even Mrs. Jia feels that she can't control Mrs. Wang.

If Jia Zheng was still at home, Mother Jia would not worry at all. As long as Mrs. Wang went a little bit beyond the bounds, Mother Jia would call Jia Zheng over and cry for a while.

With Jia Zheng's foolish and filial character, his mother suffered such great injustice that Jia Zheng was able to divorce Mrs. Wang.

It's a pity that Jia Zheng is in Hainan now and can't take care of his mother anymore.

Even Jia Mu couldn't control Rongguo Mansion, let alone Lin Daiyu.

"mandarin duck."

"Old lady, what are your orders?"

"Take Rui Ge'er to Daiyu's place in the garden and take a look at Daiyu's illness."

Jia Rui quickly stood up, bowed, and then left Rongqing Hall under Yuanyang's guidance.

After arriving outside, Yuanyang walked in front, Jia Rui followed behind, and then walked through the hall and courtyard, and soon arrived in front of the Grand View Garden.

After arriving here, Jia Rui found that it was very lively with people coming and going, not as quiet as before.

Yuanyang walked in front and said: "My wife is old and a little tired, and can no longer take care of the family, so I let Grandma Zhu, Miss Yingchun, and Miss Tanchun take care of the family business together."

Jia Rui nodded, then followed Yuanyang into the Grand View Garden, and then followed the path to the front of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

The Xiaoxiang Pavilion is still quite popular today, with a few maids cleaning the courtyard there.

They were all startled when they saw Yuanyang coming in with a man.

Yuanyang smiled and explained: "This is Uncle Rui from Dingxihou's Mansion next door. He knew that Miss Lin was sick, so he came to visit."

After hearing this, several little maids quickly knelt down on both sides.

Jia Rui nodded lightly, then followed Yuanyang into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and then led Zijuan into Lin Daiyu's boudoir.

Let's be honest, it was a bit rude for Jia Rui to enter an unmarried girl's boudoir, which is why Jia's mother asked the mandarin duck to follow her.

Although Jia Rui entered the boudoir, he did not sit in front of Lin Daiyu's bed, but sat far away at the round table.

"Sister, I heard that you are seriously ill, so I came over to take a look."

Lin Daiyu was not familiar with Jia Rui. She only knew that Jia Rui was the matchmaker, so that she could get engaged with Jia Baoyu.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu was still grateful to Jia Rui in her heart.

If he had not been engaged to Jia Baoyu, then he would have no more status in this family.
