Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 48
The gift givers were all taken away by Xue Pan, but the rest were all old people in the Jia clan. Jia Rui is now a high-ranking and powerful person, so he dare not neglect.

Therefore, he had to toast table by table accompanied by the old butler.

The most noble among these people are naturally the masters of Ning Rong's Second Mansion.

Among them are Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, and some senior members of the Jia clan.

As the host of this wedding, Jia Dairu naturally accompanied him at this table.

But unlike usual, he sat in the middle of the table this time, and the others sat on both sides like stars holding the moon.

This is the kind of treatment Jia Dairu has never received since he was born.

Although he was older in the past, his status was always low due to his family's poverty and his dependence on Ning Rong's second mansion.

It was different now. The masters of Ning Rong's Second Mansion were sitting on both sides of Jia Dairu, complimenting the old man non-stop.

This made Jia Dairu's face flush with excitement, and his words were not expressive.

When Jia Rui came to toast, the old man had already drank a little too much under the consolation of others, and his expression was a little dazed.

But at least he still knew that it was his grandson's wedding, so he didn't lose his composure.

When the people sitting at this table saw Jia Rui coming, they all stood up quickly.

Only the master of Ningrong Second Mansion was still sitting there.

Although Jia Rui's current official position is the highest in Jia's family, the Ningrong Second House has ancestors to protect their status in Beijing, and they are Jia Rui's elders, so they can sit comfortably.

After toasting, Jia Rui apologized to the people in this table, and went to the next table.

After entering more than a dozen tables, Jia Rui drank at least seventy or eighty glasses of wine.

If it were ordinary people, they would have already drank it to the point of darkness, and would not know where it is.

But Jia Rui has already obtained the true inheritance of Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu, and has already reached the sixth level. Even in the Condor Shooting Plane, he can be regarded as a second-rate little master.

In this world of Red Mansions, the military power is much inferior, and Yi Jia Rui's current ability can be said to be almost the best in the world.

But these are not all for nothing, but for real money.

Jia Rui has the current skills, but spent a total of 600 taels of gold.

Coupled with the materials that Jia Rui needed to prepare for his marriage during this period, all of Jia Rui's savings during this period was spent.

Don't look at Jia Rui's face now, in fact, his pockets are empty.

After the toast, Jia Rui went back to the first table, had a meal with the people in power in Jia's mansion, and in the afternoon saw them off one by one at the door.

As for the children of the Jia family who want to stay and have wedding ceremonies, they dare not even think about it.

Who is Jerry now?Dare to mess with his bridal chamber and make this guy anxious, why don't you wear shoes for yourself?
Therefore, when the sky was getting dark, Jia Rui's house was already quiet and everyone had disappeared.

Jia Rui originally planned to go to the master bedroom to bow to his grandparents and then go back to the bridal chamber.

You must know that today is his first time, and Xue Baochai is a first-class figure in Dream of Red Mansions. During the day, Jia Rui actually has dozens of mice in his heart. He has long been impatient to wait. , now that the guests have left, I can’t wait to run to the wedding room now.

However, he was still left behind by his grandfather Jia Dairu.

"This is today's gift list, take a look."

As he spoke, Jia Dairu pointed to an account book on the table.

Jia Rui's heart has already flown to the bridal chamber, how could he be in the mood to read these things, but he didn't dare to disobey his grandfather's wishes, so he could only reluctantly pick them up and flip through them casually.

He didn't care about it at first, but as time went by, Jia Rui began to beam.

It turns out that there were too many people sending congratulatory gifts today, and everyone’s gifts were expensive.

Naturally, the powerful officials in the capital would not come in person, but seeing Jia Rui's status in front of the Supreme Emperor, they also sent people to send congratulatory gifts.

In addition, for those petty officials who wanted to curry favor with Jia Rui, and those businessmen who were engaged in gray business, the gift Jia Rui received today was 2 taels of silver and 1000 taels of gold.

It's just real gold and silver, there are many antique calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, these things are more valuable than real gold and silver.

After getting married just like this, Jia Rui's family can be said to have turned around.

"It's all reciprocity. Let's remember the names of the gift givers. We will return the gift if something happens in the future." Jia Rui closed the account book.

Jia Dairu thought for a while, and then said: "Your grandmother is getting old, and our family is getting more and more prosperous. She is from a small family and can't manage these things. Let your daughter-in-law take care of the family account and the key to the warehouse tomorrow." .”

"It can't be like this. Grandma has been worrying about this family for so many years, and her grandson handed over the power as soon as he got married. What will outsiders think of your granddaughter-in-law in the future?"

Mrs. Wang, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile: "If outsiders want to talk about our own family affairs, let them talk about it. Besides, these days really stump me. I didn't care about the tens of thousands of taels before." If this goes on like this, I won't even be able to sleep well."

When she said this, Mrs. Wang felt both honored and a little tired.

Indeed, as she said, in the past, the pure silver in Jia Rui's family was a few tens of taels at most, but now, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver piled up in the warehouse.

Although Mrs. Wang is from the Wang family, she is just an ordinary clan member and not a wealthy family. She is uneasy about managing so much money at once.

Now that she can hand over this mess and enjoy her old age in peace, she is also very willing. After all, she is not young anymore, so there is no need to continue to work hard.

Seeing that the two old men had settled the matter, Jia Rui stopped being polite.

"Since this is the case, then the old lady can talk to my daughter-in-law by herself tomorrow!"

After saying this, Jia Rui left immediately.

Jia Dairu and Mrs. Wang looked at their impatient grandson and said nothing.

After all, Jia Rui is already 24 this year, and in this ancient age, children who married early can be soy sauce.

Besides, Jia Rui left the main house and came to the wedding room as soon as he turned around.

Since Jia Rui's family is still a small family, it is not like those wealthy families. There are more than a dozen maids and grandma standing at the door to embarrass Jia Rui, asking him to write some poems before he can enter the house.

So Jia Rui pushed the door open and went in.

When he entered the door and looked ahead, he saw a woman in a wedding dress and a red cloth covering her head sitting in front of Ba Bu's bed.

There were two more little maids standing nearby to serve.

But these two little maids don't look very good now.

It turns out that whether it was a coincidence or something else, the names of Jia Rui's maid and Xue Baochai's personal maid actually had different names.

Xue Baochai's personal maid is called Ying'er, and Jia Rui's maid is called Ying Ge.

If you didn't pay attention, you would think it was a person!
But now, Jia Rui was not in the mood to care about the small conflicts between the two maids. He first walked to the bed, and according to the rules, he used a bamboo pole to stir up the red hijab.

Then under the red candle, a beautiful face appeared.

This is really: the red candlelight shines on the beautiful woman, and the beautiful clothes and jade appearance show her youth.Eyebrows are like a crescent moon, eyes are like stars, Furong Shengxue has a good posture.A light frown and a slight smile are lovable, and a fragrant fragrance is intoxicating.Sitting alone and thinking about the infinite, self-pity and self-pity are too beautiful.
