Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 490 Xu Family
Jia Rui picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Then he looked at Jia Rong who was kneeling below and his mind was spinning.

When it comes to Jia Rong, Jia Rui basically recognizes him. Compared with the ridiculous Jia Zhen, he is already an outstanding talent of the Jia family.

It's a pity that Jia Rong taught the native Jia Rui a lesson back then. If he hadn't traveled through time, Jia Rui would have returned to the West a long time ago.

After Jia Rui traveled through time, he also gave Jia Rong some revenge.

And they have not talked to Ning Guofu these years, leaving them in silence for a long time.

It seemed that their family thought that so many years had passed and things in the past were no longer important, so they rushed over again and asked Jia Rui to give them a way out.

Speaking of which, among the three government palaces on Ningrong Street, only Ning Guo Palace is in the worst shape.

Needless to say, Jia Rui of Wu Guofu, even Jia Zheng of Rongguo Palace is already the Minister of Rites and should soon join the cabinet.

Only the original leader of the Jia family, Ning Guofu, was unwilling to do anything high and low, so he still ate his own food at home.

Now it seems that the status of Ningguo Mansion has dropped drastically, so Jia Zhen has to shamelessly ask Jia Rui.

It's okay to give Jia Rong a medium-sized official, but Jia Rui always feels a little bit unable to swallow this sigh of relief.

In the past, it was okay for me to be bullied by them because I had no ability. Now that I have all the power in the world, it would be nice not to cause trouble to them. How about giving them an official position? Just thinking about it makes me choke.

So Jia Rui just drank tea and ignored Jia Rong who was kneeling below.

Although Jia Zhen didn't have much ability, she still had the ability to observe people's emotions. As soon as he saw this scene, he knew that he couldn't force it, so he rolled his eyes and said with a smile:

"We'll talk about this later. Now that my brother has come to live in my house, I'll have a drink with you."

When Jia Rui heard that it was just a drink, he didn't care and replied with a smile: "Since Brother Zhen has already prepared, I will not be respectful."

Jia Zhen stood up happily, bowed her hands to Jia Rui, and went out to prepare with a smile.

After a while, a sumptuous banquet was prepared in the side hall. Jia Zhen personally invited Jia Rui to sit on the main seat, and he was there to accompany her.

As for Jia Rong? There weren't even seats, so you could only stand nearby and serve wine and dishes.

Jia Zhen was still very tactful, and she kept making jokes before the banquet. Jia Rui was so amused that she drank a few more drinks without knowing it.

Just when Jia Rui's eyes were a little blurry, Jia Zhen smiled and said to Jia Rong who was holding a wine bottle below: "Your uncle Rui hasn't seen your wife yet, has he? Call her out and salute your uncle Rui. ”

Jia Rong's face turned dark after hearing this, but she still smiled and went out.

After a while, Jia Rong led a slim girl in from the outside.

In Jia Rui's blurred drunken eyes, under the dim light, this girl looked so mysterious and beautiful.

Jia Rui couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Under Jia Rong's urging, the girl had no choice but to pick up a glass of wine and come to Jia Rui. She said a blessing and then sent the wine glass to Jia Rui's eyes.

Jia Rui reached for the wine glass with drunken eyes, but his hands and feet were a little unsteady, and he caught the girl's hand, shocking the girl.

She originally wanted to hide, but her strength was no match for Jia Rui. Jia Rui just exerted a slight force, and the girl rushed into Jia Rui's arms involuntarily.

Jia Zhen, who was sitting next to her, saw this scene and did not persuade her. Instead, she toasted frequently.

When Jia Rong saw this scene, she just lowered her head.

In this way, Jia Rui hugged the girl and found Jia Zhen on the other side and started drinking and having fun. I don’t know when Jia Rui drank too much, and he was in a daze, hugging the girl, not knowing where he was.

I don't know how long it took, but Jia Rui felt a little pain in his head. When he opened his eyes, he saw himself lying in a strange room filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Jia Rui rubbed his head with his hands and felt that his throat was dry, so he called out: "Bring water."

The door was opened immediately, and the little eunuch dragging a tea bowl walked in from the outside.

Jia Rui drank tea, and then realized that there was a girl lying next to him.

Jia Rui was startled and quickly asked the young eunuch, "Who is this?"

The young eunuch blinked his innocent eyes, then lowered his head and said, "This is Mrs. Xu, the daughter-in-law of Jia Rong, the eldest son of Ningguo Mansion."

Jia Rui was in a daze after hearing this. He had done something stupid!

If this spreads out, wouldn't he be on the same level as Jia Zhen, who has a human face and an animal heart?
Jia Rui gritted his teeth and wanted to get rid of the trouble, but when he turned his head and looked at the girl lying there with her eyebrows trembling slightly, Jia Rui was a little reluctant to do anything.

Finally, Jia Rui let out a long sigh and said to the eunuch: "Sweep your tail clean and don't spread the word."

"My slave knows." After saying this, the little eunuch peeked at Jia Rui and saw if he had anything else to do, and then withdrew.

Jia Rui turned to look at the girl who was still pretending to be asleep, and said with a smile: "Stop pretending, your eyebrows are trembling like fleas."

After listening to Jia Rui's words, the girl opened her eyes, and then turned her face to the side in embarrassment.

Jia Rui sighed, got off the bed, stretched out his arms and said, "Help me change my clothes."

Although the girl was shy, she still got out of bed and helped Jia Rui freshen up and change clothes.

After everything was over, Jia Rui sat at the round table next to him and drank tea. The girl blushed and put on her own clothes.

"What are you going to do next?" Jia Rui also asked.

The girl lowered her head and said softly: "If the Duke spares my life, I will shave my head and become my sister-in-law. If the Duke cannot keep me, please give me a cup of medicine."

Jia Rui was in a daze, but this girl was very sober.

"Since you know your fate, why do you do this?"

The girl lowered her head and said, "My father is a Taoist official, and his ability to become an official depends entirely on the Ningguo Mansion. If I don't agree, our whole family will suffer poverty."

Jia Rui nodded softly, then stood up and walked to the girl's side, lifted her chin with his fingers, and said: "You don't have to die, and you don't have to be a sister-in-law. I will let Jia Zhen and his son give birth to her in Ningguo Mansion." I will build a separate courtyard, you can go in and live there.”

After hearing this, the girl's eyes flashed and she was a little happy.

After all, who would want to die if they could live?

When she promised Jia Zhen and his son, she was already prepared to hang herself afterwards. She didn't expect that Jia Rui would spare his life. You know, if this was spread, it would be a huge scandal.

But after thinking about it, I don’t care anymore. What Jia Zhen did back then was even more excessive than what she does now, but in the end it was just left alone. Didn’t anyone pick it up and talk about it?
Now that Jia Rui can be said to be the emperor of the dynasty, who dares to spread his affairs as gossip? Isn't this life-threatening?
After thinking of this, Mrs. Xu felt relaxed, then served Jia Rui to dinner and personally sent him out of Ningguo Mansion.

　The word count is a bit short in asking for medical advice. I'm sorry to everyone, but I will improve it in the future.
