Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 357 Jia Lian’s whereabouts

"Old lady, if you don't have anything else to say, I'll go back first." Jia Rui was already very annoyed. The old lady called her over for big and small things, as if she was a slave of her family.

Who is Jia Mu? He had been wallowing in power and intrigue all his life, and he immediately noticed Jia Rui's impatience.

If it were in the past, Jia would have been angry and would immediately ask someone to deal with this little bastard.

But now, Jia's mother doesn't have the courage or the power to force Jia Rui to stay, so she can only laugh with her and say, "It's nothing, go back and rest quickly, but don't take Jia Lian's matters to heart. "

Jia Rui cupped his hands casually, and then said: "Old lady, don't worry about Brother Lian's matter. I will go talk to the Supreme Emperor tomorrow."

After saying that, Jia Rui turned around and left.

After Jia Rui left, Jia Mu's expression immediately changed. She was full of despair.

"It's because you're such a loser that I have to beg Brother Rui. As long as you guys have some ambition and ability, I won't wipe your butt in such a humble manner." Jia's mother said to Jia with a look of resentment. She said.

Jia She felt that he had been wronged. Where was he? But I still have to laugh with her and comfort my mother.

Mrs. Xing, who was standing aside without speaking, was a little restless.

Mother Jia glanced at her, and then asked angrily: "Why are you tired of looking at my old lady?"

Mrs. Xing was startled, stood up quickly and said, "Old lady, how dare I?"

"Then you have a nail in your butt? It's squirming around." Jia Mu said impatiently.

"Back to the old lady, I'm not worried that Xiao Bao'er is alone at home." Mrs. Xing lowered her head and said.

When Jia Mu heard the name "Xiao Bao'er", her face finally softened a little.

Ever since Mrs. Xing took over her first child from Qionghua last year, she has loved this child as if she were her own and cannot leave her for a moment.

The entire Rongguo Mansion knew about this.

"Okay, since you are worried about the child, go back and don't stand up for me here." Mother Jia seemed impatient, but there was a trace of relief in her eyes.

Mrs. Xing quickly saluted and then took a peek at Jia She.

Jia She said impatiently: "Okay, if you're in a hurry, go back first."

With Jia She's words, Mrs. Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and then left Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall with brisk steps.

After Mrs. Xing left, Wang Xifeng pretended to come forward and said: "Old lady, do you think our second master will be fine?"

Jia Mu touched her forehead in annoyance, and then said: "Since Rui Ge'er has promised, nothing big should happen, but in the end we still cannot escape the fate of being exiled. Now we should discuss where to be exiled. "

After Jia Mu finished speaking, she looked at Jia She and saw that he had a confused look on his face. In the end, she just ignored him and turned to ask Wang Xifeng:

"Where do you think Jia Lian should go?"

In her heart, Wang Xifeng wished that Jia Lian would be exiled to the ends of the earth and never come back, but she did not dare to say so on the surface.

"Old lady, otherwise we should let Jia Lian go to Hainan. His second uncle will take care of him there and Qionghua's father is there, so he shouldn't suffer much."

After Wang Xifeng said this, she also looked at Qionghua who was standing next to her as a pillar.

Qionghua was nodding her head now, but she couldn't guarantee that Jia Lian would not be wronged.

Jia Mu glanced at the two of them, and then sneered.

"You are still a smart person. Do you think all the masters in the court are fools and would let Jia Lian go to his second uncle?"

"Then what does the old lady mean?" Jia She asked carefully.

Jia Mu narrowed her eyes and said, "Let Jia Lian go to Gansu."

Jia She was startled when he heard this, and said quickly: "Old lady, Gansu is a bitter cold place, and there are also barbarian activities. If Jia Lian goes there, what will happen if something goes wrong in the end?"

Jia Mu glared at Jia She with hatred, and then explained to him: "Although Gansu is a bitter and cold place, don't forget who is an official there, that is your in-laws."

When Jia She heard this, he realized that Jia Yingchun was engaged to the son of Zhou Heng, the governor of Gansu Province. The two parties should be considered in-laws.

What kind of suffering will his son suffer when he comes to the territory of his in-laws?

"The old lady still has a way." Jia She praised, what he said was heartfelt and full of admiration.

Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere became noticeably more relaxed.

Qionghua, who had been silent until now, spoke now, "Old lady, I'm not worried about our second master going to such a far place alone. I want to go with him."

Mr. Jia Mu was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of tenderness in her heart. She looked at Qionghua carefully and smiled, seeing the determination on the face of the girl kneeling there.

Wang Xifeng, who was standing aside, felt awkward for a while.

Jia Mu said softly: "What will happen to this child if you go?" Qionghua was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then kowtowed to Jia She who was standing aside, "Master, please look at this." For the sake of your grandson, let your wife raise him."

Naturally, Jia She had no objection. After all, he was his grandson, and Mrs. Xing had one sheep to drive and two sheep to herd.

"I'm very happy that you have such a heart. You don't have to worry about the child. He is my grandson. I will naturally take good care of him." Jia She rarely said something humane.

Jia Mu was also very happy. She smiled and said to Jia She, "Now you look like a master."

Wang Xifeng, who was standing below, felt aggrieved as she looked at this heartwarming scene.

Not to mention that the Jia family is still scheming here, and Jia Rui returned to his home, sat down on the bed, and said to Xue Baochai who brought tea:

"Why do you think this Jia Lian is so crazy? He ran back again, but he was caught by the imperial emissary and imprisoned. Isn't this causing trouble for me?"

Xue Baochai smiled and sat next to Jia Rui: "What's so hard to guess? You've never been to Northeast Zhuangzi, so you don't know the poverty there."

"As long as money is not about enjoyment, I don't believe there are things in the world that money can't buy." Jia Rui said very unsatisfied.

"Uncle, above Dongbei Village, there may not be many traveling merchants in a year. Even if you have money, you can't buy anything." Xue Baochai said while taking care of Jia Rui's clothes.

Jia Rui was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Is it really that hard there?"

"That's natural. We also have some villagers in the northeast. Every year, people from the village come to the house to pay rent. Many young people have to break their heads to get this opportunity."

After Jia Rui heard this, he sat there speechlessly. It seemed that he had been in power for too long and had become somewhat disconnected from the people.

Jia Rui sighed, wondering how the discussion in Rongguo Mansion went.

"Okay, my uncle, don't worry about it, hurry up and eat." Xue Baochai was very indifferent to other people's affairs and didn't care at all.

After listening to Xue Baochai's words, Jia Rui relaxed and went to eat with Xue Baochai.

The next morning, Jia Rui got up early, put on big makeup with Xue Baochai, and left the Dingxi Hou Mansion together.

Jia Rui is going to the cabinet, and Xue Baochai is going to follow Concubine Zhen to wake her up.

Xue Baochai still received preferential treatment from the Supreme Emperor. She only had to go there and kneel for a symbolic moment in the morning, and she could come back at noon.

But other people have to kneel there from morning to evening, and there are even some people who have to kneel there even at night.

Jia Mu was just because she was old and the Emperor was afraid that something bad would happen, so he just made her kneel for the first day and then exempted her from the errand.

When the two of them passed Rongguo Mansion, they found Jia She and Mrs. Xing standing there, waiting for Jia Rui's vehicle.

Seeing Jia She, Jia Rui could only get off his horse, came to Jia She's side, cupped his hands and asked, "Uncle She, why are you so early?"

Jia She quickly returned the gift, and then said: "Yesterday, the old lady and I discussed it for half a night, and decided to let Jia Lian go to Gansu. What do you think, Brother Rui?"

Jia Rui nodded secretly after hearing this. This was similar to what he thought. At present, Jia Lian going to Lanzhou is the most beneficial to Jia Lian.

"This method is very good. Let's make it this way. This is what I said when the Supreme Emperor asked."

After saying this, Jia Rui quickly raised his hand and said: "Uncle Pardon, there is still something to do with the cabinet, so I will leave first."

"Then if you have something to do, go and do it quickly."

Jia Rui then handed over his hand again, then returned to the horse, got on it, and led a group of people to walk out of Ningrong Street.

When Jia Rui disappeared, Jia She breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Mrs.

Mrs. Xing was very reluctant, but she did not dare to complain, so she could only hold her breath and sit on the sedan chair and leave.

In fact, Mrs. Xing left too late. Mrs. Wang had already entered the palace before dawn.

In fact, this is also because Mrs. Wang's current status is unusual. She is both the mother of the imperial concubine and the wife of the governor of Hainan, so she is more conspicuous, so she does not dare to be lazy at all.

Mrs.

Besides, Jia Rui and his party arrived at the palace. After arriving here, Xue Baochai got off the sedan, walked into the palace with Jia Rui, and then came to the palace of Princess Zhen.

The magnificent hall has now turned snow-white, and countless people are crying and howling there.

Of course, no one will know if you cry for real or fake.

As soon as Xue Baochai and Jia Rui arrived, a eunuch immediately ran over, "Master Marquis, madam, are you here?"

Jia Rui nodded, and then said to Xue Baochai: "You go first, I will take you home at noon."

Xue Baochai nodded, then took the white clothes from the eunuch and put it on his body, and then followed the eunuch.
