Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 328 The beginning of Jia Baoyu’s unlucky career

Jia Baoyu was pulled back.

When he saw Jia Rui again this time, it was like seeing a devil. He didn't even dare to look at his face. He only dared to lower his head and wail there.

"Jia Baoyu, I ask you if you dare to skip school again." Jia Rui asked sitting in the middle.

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore." Jia Baoyu didn't have any more words now and answered directly with the correct answer.

"Remember your words, if you dare to skip class again it won't be a matter of dozens of boards. Not only will I beat you, but I will also make you kneel in the ancestral hall all night."

"I know, I don't dare to do it anymore." Jia Baoyu said in a low voice.

"Okay, go back."

With Jia Rui's words, Jia Baoyu dared to get up from the ground and went to his seat while enduring the pain.

Then Jia Rui turned to the teacher and said: "Sir, I know your talent and learning, and it's embarrassing for you to teach these little kids to bend their talents, but I still want to ask you here. As long as one of these people is a scholar, I will recommend it immediately." You serve as magistrate of a wealthy southern province.”

The teacher's face lit up with joy after hearing this.

He knew that Jia Rui kept his word, and this situation had already happened once.

He had inquired when he came. The previous teacher had been praised by Jia Rui for his good teaching, so he had been appointed as a county magistrate in Hunan.

Because of this, he was able to take over this vacancy.

Now that he has received Jia Rui's personal promise, Mr. Sun has made up his mind to teach him well and at least let one person become a talent.

Then, the teacher, Mr. Sun, began to express determination to Jia Rui, and his chest was slapped loudly.

Jia Rui was very satisfied with his fighting spirit, and then said: "These little guys are so rebellious. Mr. Guang, I'm afraid you can't take care of them by yourself. Let's do this. From today on, I will send two soldiers here every day to let them I will help you manage the classroom. If these little guys dare to disobey, they will be punished directly."

After saying this, Jia Rui turned his head and stared hard at the little guys in the classroom.

These standing students were like quails, not daring to raise their heads.

"Sir, don't teach me anything about the Book of Songs first. Memorize the Four Books first. Once you explain them thoroughly, it's a serious matter."

"Yes, I understand." The teacher quickly agreed.

Only then did Jia Rui stand up and prepare to walk out, but stopped after taking two steps.

He turned his head and looked at the little guys standing there neatly, and then said: "Listen, there is a general examination in the private school every month, and each of the top three students will receive 30 taels of silver."

The little ones' eyes lit up when they heard the amount of silver reward given by Jia Rui.

You know, 30 taels of silver can buy an acre of land in the capital.

Jia Rui looked at the high spirits of the little guys, nodded with satisfaction, and then left with his soldiers, but when he left, he also specially arranged for two soldiers to stand guard at the door of the private school.

Mr. Sun, who was standing above, also started to tremble this time. He looked at the students below who were beaten so badly, and felt happy in his heart.

If you didn't listen to me before, if you didn't listen and skipped classes, you will know how powerful it is this time.

"Ahem." Mr. Sun pretended to cough, then picked up the book and started teaching.

The students below were all honest this time.

It went on like this until evening, and today's day of study is finally over.

The little guys, you have suffered a lot today. No one dared to sit down all day, they all stood to listen to the class.

When leaving, the guard guarding the gate gave each little guy a bottle of medicine and told them to wipe it well at night.

Jia Baoyu also got a bottle of medicine. When he grinned and slowly moved to the door of the private school, he saw several of his servants stamping their feet in a hurry.

It turned out that after these boys got the news, they had long wanted to enter the private school to see Jia Baoyu, but they were blocked by Jia Rui's soldiers. One of the boys refused to accept the news and was slapped by the soldiers. I was knocked unconscious.

Now these boys knew how powerful it was and no longer dared to step into the private school.

Now that they saw their precious eggs finally coming out, they rushed towards them.

"Second Master, how are you?"

"Second Master, you will not be punished for endorsing today!"

Jia Baoyu used to joke a little with these little boys, but today he was beaten forty times and stood in the study for another day. He couldn't hold on anymore. Now he sees these little masters are still here. Lilie, he shouted angrily: "What are you talking about? Why don't you prepare a car for me quickly?"

The boys were all smart. Seeing Jia Baoyu's expression, someone immediately went out to look for a carriage. After a while, a carriage stopped next to Jia Baoyu.

Then everyone helped Jia Baoyu into the car and let Jia Baoyu lie down in the car.

In this way, Jia Baoyu was sent all the way back to Rongguo Mansion.

After Jia Baoyu was helped down, he did not return to Yihongyuan of Grand View Garden. He was helped to find Jia's mother.

As soon as he entered Jia Mu's yard, the little maids gathered around him chattering, but Jia Baoyu was not in the mood to joke with them today. He gritted his teeth and entered Jia Mu's room with the help of an old nanny.As soon as he entered the door, Jia Baoyu began to wail.

When Jia's mother saw her baby crying like this, she became anxious and quickly ordered Yuanyang and several other maids to help Jia Baoyu to her bed.

"What's wrong with Baoyu?"

"Old lady, you don't know that Jia Rui didn't give me any face today. He beat me forty times in the study room and didn't let me come back to recuperate. He made me stand in the study room and listen to the class all day. I had lunch. It hurts so much that I can't even eat it." Jia Baoyu was complaining about Jia Rui's condition.

Mother Jia was a little angry when she heard this. She said angrily: "Brother Rui, is this crazy? Do the people in my family need to be so cruel?"

Then he scolded Jia Rui a few more times, and then at Yuanyang's reminder, he sent someone out to find a doctor for Jia Baoyu.

After a while, an old doctor with white hair and beard was invited to the room.

This old doctor was a well-known doctor in the area. Legend has it that his father was an imperial physician in the previous dynasty. However, after the establishment of this dynasty, he did not serve in the dynasty again. His family opened a medicine shop for decades.

The old doctor opened Jia Baoyu's back and looked at his injuries, then smiled.

"Old lady, the young master is fine. It's just a skin injury. It can be healed by applying medicine in a few days."

In fact, the old doctor doesn't even want to prescribe medicine, but if he doesn't prescribe medicine, how can he ask for money?
Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the old doctor said, and then asked Yuanyang to take the old doctor outside to prescribe medicine.

After a while, Yuanyang came back with the prescription and quietly walked to Jia Mu's side.

She first gave Jia Baoyu a funny look, and then said a few words in Jia Mu's ear.

After hearing this, Mother Jia's eyes widened, "No way, isn't it said that after forty strokes, the pain is almost fatal? How can it be nothing serious?"

"Old lady, the old doctor said that the person who hit the board is very skilled. Even if you hit it forty times, it will hurt like hell. In fact, it is not even a skin injury." Yuanyang said with a smile.

Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at Yuanyang angrily, "Why don't you help Baoyu back to Yihongyuan quickly?"

Mother Jia now knows that Jia Baoyu is not injured, and is a little annoyed with Jia Baoyu.

It's not that Jia Mu doesn't love Jia Baoyu anymore. Although Jia Baoyu keeps asking Jia Mu to avenge him, Jia Baoyu, a fool, doesn't even think about what Jia Rui's status is now, and Jia Mu doesn't have the ability to do it now. He takes revenge.

In this way, Jia Baoyu was sent back to Yihongyuan, and finally Xi Ren carefully applied medicine to him.

The next morning, Jia Baoyu didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.

Originally, at dawn, Xiren had already advised him to get up and go to school quickly, but Jia Baoyu asked someone to ask for leave from his private school on the grounds that he was injured.

Just when Jia Baoyu thought he could spend the day peacefully, She Yue hurried in from outside.

"No, no, no, the school has sent people to look for the second master, and the old lady can't stop him."

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he almost poked his head in fear.

"How is this good?" Jia Baoyu asked Xiren sitting by the bed with a trembling voice.

Xiren had no idea and could only look at the other people in the room hesitantly.

Qingwen still had a way, she said loudly: "What are you waiting for? Quickly dress the second master, and then send the second master out, and he can be treated leniently."

Upon hearing this, several maids looked at each other, and then without any orders, they immediately surrounded Jia Baoyu, dressing him and putting on shoes. In no time, Jia Baoyu was dressed up. , and then was pushed out of Yihongyuan.

After leaving Yihongyuan, Jia Baoyu was still a little confused.

I was lying on the bed well, but I didn't have time to get dressed and come out.

But before Jia Baoyu could react, an old woman who had been waiting for Jia Baoyu at the door for a long time stepped forward and dragged Jia Baoyu out.

Jia Baoyu suffered forty strokes yesterday. Although he was not injured, he still felt excruciating pain in his butt and legs when he started running.

But Jia Baoyu's own strength really couldn't defeat the old woman. She could only grit her teeth and endure the pain, and followed the old woman to the second door.

As soon as he walked out of the second door, Jia Baoyu saw several of his personal servants standing nearby, and there was a sturdy man facing the second door of luck.

Jia Baoyu had seen this big man before. He was the one who slapped him yesterday.

When the soldier saw Jia Baoyu coming out, he didn't talk nonsense to him. He stepped forward, grabbed his hand and dragged him out.

Those Jia Baoyu's servants didn't dare to stop them at all, so they could only follow them out of Rongguo Mansion in a swarm.

This time, there was no need to take a carriage or carriage, and he was dragged directly to the school.

When he came in, he saw that dozens of people had already arrived, and he was the only one who dared to skip class.

The former schoolmates now looked at Jia Baoyu with gloating expressions in their eyes.

Having nothing to say, Mr. Sun forcefully asked the soldiers to beat Jia Baoyu ten times before throwing him back into the crowd.
