Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 371 Solution

Jia Rui returned home and had several side dishes prepared. He sat in the study and drank by himself.

It looks like the time for the showdown will come soon.

Jia Rui drank the wine in one gulp and then placed it heavily on the table.

Although Jia Rui entered the Dragon Head Palace every day during this period, he did not understand the body of the Supreme Emperor as well as before.

It seems that the Supreme Emperor is deliberately hiding himself!

But the more he concealed it, it meant that his health was getting worse again.

Last time, his penis finger saved his life, but this time I'm afraid it won't be able to save him.

Just when Jia Rui was thinking wildly, the door curtain was lifted and Xue Baochai walked in from the outside.

When Jia Rui saw it was Xue Baochai, he smiled and waved, asking Xue Baochai to come to him.

"Why did you come to the front?"

Xue Baochai said with some resentment: "I would like to see the uncle in the back house, but the uncle is busy and doesn't come to the back house at all. What can I do, I can only come to the front to find you."

Jia Rui scratched his head after hearing this, "Are Third Sister and Xiu'e still having trouble?"

When talking about these two people, Xue Baochai also felt a headache. She didn't know whether the two of them were born to be enemies. They started arguing as soon as they opened their eyes and continued until they went to bed at night.

What's even worse is that these two people are Jia Rui's favorites. No one can control them in the back house except Xue Baochai, so their daily quarrels have become a regular fixture in the back house.

"What are you still talking about? You can't take care of these two people. If you don't take care of them, I will punish them." Xue Baochai was actually holding back anger in his heart.

When Jia Rui heard that the two babies were going to be tortured, he quickly said: "No need, no need. I'll talk to them and let them calm down for a few days."

After finishing speaking, Jia Rui quickly changed the topic again, trying to avoid this matter, "What do you want from me?"

"Daiyu's health is almost healed on that side. The old lady in Rongguo Mansion has been urging us to send Daiyu back. What do you think?"

Jia Rui sighed. Although he wanted to help Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu was the future daughter-in-law of Rongguo Mansion after all. As a high-ranking official, he did not have the right to keep her in his home.

"Then send it back. You go there in person and make arrangements for her. At the same time, find a capable nanny and let her follow Daiyu. At least it can be considered as taking care of her."

Xue Baochai nodded after hearing this. She was actually worried about Daiyu, but there was really no reason to keep Daiyu in her home.

"Then I will send Daiyu back in the afternoon, so as not to keep urging her."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, I don't care."

After lunch that day, the Dingxihou Mansion became lively. The girls were going back to Rongguo Mansion, so they naturally had to clean up.

Of course, the girls don't have many things, and Xue Baochai has promised to keep the house they lived in for them. If there is anything short, come and get it directly.

Therefore, the girls did not bring much.

Several luxurious carriages had stopped at the second gate. Xue Baochai personally took several girls to the second gate in small sedans, and then changed carriages here.

After that, the carriage left the Dingxihou Mansion from the right door, and without even a stick of incense, it arrived at the side door of Rongguo Mansion.

He went straight in, then changed into a small sedan, and was carried by a stout old woman to Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall.

After arriving here, Xue Baochai got off the sedan first, and then led several girls into the main hall.

Mother Jia in the main hall had been waiting for a long time. When she saw her baby Lin Daiyu coming back, she stood up excitedly, walked over and hugged her.

After that, there was a scream from my beloved.

Lin Daiyu also admired her grandmother very much, so she also cried in her arms.

Seeing that it was not a problem, Xue Baochai hurriedly went up to comfort her and said, "Old lady, isn't Daiyu back in good health? This is a happy event."

Mother Jia held Lin Daiyu in her arms. After hearing Xue Baochai's words, she was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes and glanced at Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai looked down on himself less and less.

On the surface she was trying to comfort herself, but in fact she was blaming herself for not taking Dingxihou Mansion seriously.

Indeed, Dingxihou Mansion and Rongguo Mansion are separated by a small street. It can be said that Lin Daiyu has never left Jia Mu's sight from beginning to end. Now she is holding Lin Daiyu in front of Xue Baochai and crying like she is the Lin Daiyu who was abused by Dingxihou Mansion.

If Jia Mu had had an attack before, if you, a little girl, dare to stage your movie in front of me, you are looking for death.

But now Jia Mu doesn't dare to do it. What is Jia Rui's identity? That was the chief minister of the dynasty. Even the emperor had to give him three points, let alone an old lady like herself.

Therefore, Jia Mu could only suppress her unhappiness and pretended to just find Xue Baochai and said to her with a smile:

"I'm getting older, and I'm a little confused." After saying this, Jia Mu hugged Lin Daiyu and sat back on her imperial concubine's couch.

After that, Jia Mu pretended to say a few words to Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun, which could be regarded as a manifestation of the love between grandparents and grandchildren.

Everyone chatted for a while. When Xue Baochai saw that it was getting late, he stood up and left.

Jia Mu had long been tired of Xue Baochai, so she was naturally happy to see her gone. When only the people from the Rongguo Mansion were left in the room, Jia Mu happily said to Lin Daiyu: "I have made new ginseng Yangrong Pills here, please take some."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "The old lady still cares about me and gives me good things as soon as I come back."

"Haha, you little girl, didn't I care about you before, old lady?"

Lin Daiyu coquettishly nestled in Jia Mu's arms, "The old lady loves me the most."

Suddenly the atmosphere in the room became very good.

As time went by, another month passed in the blink of an eye. I don't know if it was a feng shui problem, but Lin Daiyu became ill again and coughed sharply.

Xue Baochai also sighed when she heard the news in Dingxihou Mansion. She didn't know what to do.

There is nothing she can do, but her husband Jia Rui can.

So when Jia Rui came to her place to rest in the evening, Xue Baochai specially prepared a table of wine and food.

As soon as Jia Rui walked in, he knew that Xue Baochai was up to something, but Jia Rui didn't tell the truth. He sat there and watched Xue Baochai pouring wine and serving dishes for him with peace of mind.

Wait until the wine has passed the third round and the food has passed the five flavors.

Xue Baochai then leaned into Jia Rui's arms and whispered, "Daiyu is sick again."

Jia Rui frowned, feeling a little unbelievable. Lin Daiyu was brought back from the brink of death by her own house, and something happened again just a month after she returned. What was she going to do?

Jia Rui lowered his head and thought for a moment, then sighed.

This was all caused by the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Who could not be tempted by a little girl with such a huge fortune?

But the problem is that sooner or later this money belongs to the Rongguo Mansion, what are they in a hurry for?

"The feng shui in Rongguo Mansion is not good, otherwise we should ask Daiyu to move out."

Xue Baochai rolled his eyes after hearing this, "How is this possible?"

Jia Rui smiled slightly, and then said: "Baoyu's side is not young anymore, and it's time to start a family. When Jia Lian was his age, he already had Sister Qiao."

Xue Baochai's eyes lit up after hearing this. This was a good idea. Although he could not completely let Lin Daiyu move out of Rongguo Mansion, at least he had Jia Baoyu next to him as his patron saint.

If something happens to Lin Daiyu under such circumstances, it will not be good for Jia Baoyu's reputation. After all, if the reputation of being a wife-suppressant spreads, Jia Baoyu will no longer be able to marry a girl from a good family in the future.

"You still have a way." Xue Baochai immediately poured a glass of wine for Jia Rui and brought it to his mouth.

Jia Rui looked at Xue Baochai with confused eyes, drank the wine with her hand, and then hugged Xue Baochai in his arms.

Xue Baochai was startled by him, but soon her face flushed and she stopped resisting.

The next day, Jia Rui opened his eyes in Xue Baochai's arms.

"Uncle, I'm awake. Get your toiletries ready." Xue Baochai called to the outer room.

Immediately the door was opened, and three or four maids filed in from outside. Under the leadership of Ying'er, they lined up and stood beside Jia Rui's bed.

Jia Rui lazily sat up from the bed, then changed his clothes under Xue Baochai's service, and then several maids came over to wash Jia Rui.

After this set was over, we started to have breakfast.

"Uncle, do you think it's inappropriate for us to suddenly go to Rongguo Mansion to care about Baoyu and Daiyu's marriage?" Xue Baochai turned the topic to Lin Daiyu again.

Jia Rui was a little annoyed, "Since you're embarrassed, I'll just write a letter to Jia Zheng in Hainan and ask him to come forward."

Xue Baochai's eyes also lit up. If this is the case, then everything is safe.

Although Jia Zheng is not in Rongguo Mansion now, his influence has not disappeared. As long as Jia Zheng's letter returns to Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang can only hold her nose and recognize it.

"Then there's Uncle Lao." Xue Baochai lay on Jia Rui's shoulder and shook it gently.

"Haha, if you want to thank me, please help me tonight." Jia Rui teased Xue Baochai's chin with his hand.

Xue Baochai was a little embarrassed by his troubles and quickly opened Jia Rui's hand, "The maid is still here!"

After listening to Xue Baochai's words, Jia Rui looked around, and sure enough he saw several little maids there with their heads lowered and their faces flushed.

Jia Rui laughed, "We are all our own people, what's there to be shy about?"

Although he said this, Jia Rui was also much more honest.

Jia Rui did not break his promise. He wrote a letter in the evening and ordered it to be sent to Hainan.

Although it was very difficult to send a letter in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, Jia Rui was the chief minister of the dynasty, so he naturally did not have this problem.

His letter was sent to Hainan through the official post station, stop by stop.

However, even so, it was half a month later when the letter reached Jia Zheng.
