Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 581 Asking for help
Although Wang Xifeng said she didn't care about the stewardship of Rongguo Mansion, she was actually very persistent in her heart about this right.

That is to say, now that her property is getting bigger and bigger, the income from Rongguo Mansion is no longer in her eyes, so it seems dull.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, not to mention that Jia Mu has already promised that 70% of the property in Rongguo Mansion will belong to their big house. Under such circumstances, Jia Baoyu is not drinking the blood of their big house. ?
"Then how do we reply to the big kitchen?" Ping'er also looked unhappy.

Wang Xifeng lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Let the kitchen prepare a table worth fifteen taels of silver."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng sighed, then rubbed his forehead, "What are you doing now, brother?"

"Master, the eldest young master is studying now."

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng finally had a smile on his face.

Although she is illiterate, she attaches great importance to her son's education.

In order for his son to have a promising future, Wang Xifeng spent a lot of money to hire a retired Hanlin Academy official to teach Jia Ping to study.

You must know that although the officials of the Hanlin Academy are poor, they are still officials of the imperial court. Even if they retire, they have a bottom line.

Ping'er didn't know how to persuade him. He could only say a few words, and then went out to send a message to Jia Rui in the palace.

Since Xu left Ningguo Mansion, Jia Rui quietly took her to the palace. As for outside the palace, Ningguo Mansion had announced that Xu was seriously ill and died.

Jia Rui put down the pen in his hand, placed the last memorial on top of the other memorials, and then asked Qin Shun to quickly send it back to the cabinet.

Being able to invite this person to the mansion to teach Jia Ping how to read shows that Wang Xifeng spent a lot of money.

After finishing all this, he turned to Mrs. Xu and said, "This is not a big deal. Why not make you a noble person first, and then slowly rise up."

Wang Xifeng sighed, and then said: "He hasn't been here for a year or two. Who knows whether he has forgotten us, mother and son."

Ping'er nodded and said, "Actually, Second Grandma, you don't have to worry too much. Does the Emperor really not care about you mother and son?"

"Your Majesty, you can't let me remain so unclear. I'm fine now. What if I get pregnant one day? What will happen to the child? It's okay for me to suffer a little, but we can't let our child suffer too, right?" Xu Shi nest next to Jia Rui and said while playing with Jia Rui's hair.

She followed Jia Rui, which was considered a violation of etiquette, but in the end she didn't even end up with a concubine, just a nobleman.

This was done without Jia Rui's instructions, the clever Jia Zhen had already done it.

When he arrived at Jia Rui, he was in high spirits. He was dealing with the memorial in Yangxin Hall and drinking the fragrant tea handed over by Mrs. Xu.

Because of his relationship with Jia Rui, his husband Jia Lian was sent far away by Jia Rui. At the beginning, he often came to spend the night at his place, but as time went by, Jia Rui seemed to have forgotten Wang Xifeng.

Speaking of which, Wang Xifeng also felt aggrieved about her life at that time.

Xu was a little unhappy.

"Hey, no matter how well our children study and how well-behaved they are, they can't compare to that phoenix egg!" Wang Xifeng felt a little sad and angry.

Ping'er didn't know what to say, so he could only stand aside and pretend to be dumb.

After a while, Wang Xifeng vented the anger in her heart and said to Ping'er: "Have someone send a message to the palace, so that the heartless one can quickly think of a solution."

But she didn't dare to talk to Jia Rui, so she could only keep her anger, lowered her head and ignored Jia Rui.

Jia Rui smiled, hugged Mrs. Xu in his arms, and then said, "Don't go anywhere else. Just wait in Qianqing Palace."

This time, Xu finally showed a smile. Being an attendant in the Qianqing Palace is equivalent to living in the former Qian Palace. This is a treatment that no other concubine has, and it is the only one in the palace.

While Jia Rui was coaxing the little beauty, a eunuch poked his head in at the door of Yangxin Hall.

Jia Rui's sideways glance happened to be caught, and then he turned away from Lao Li who was waiting next to him unhappily.

Lao Li trembled with fright, quickly bowed to Jia Rui, and then bowed out.

When he came outside, he kicked the little eunuch who was looking over his head, and then scolded him in a low voice: "Baby monkey, I'm so embarrassed. Don't you know where this place is? Do you want your life?" It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to die, don’t bring trouble to our family!”

Although the little eunuch was kicked, he immediately got up and knelt there, kowtowing.

Lao Li didn't have time to pay attention to the little eunuch now, so he asked directly: "What's the matter?"

"Back to my ancestors, the second mistress of Rongguo Mansion sent someone to deliver a letter."

When Lao Li heard that it was Wang Xifeng, he also took it seriously.

Even though their master hadn't seen this person for a year or two, as a personal eunuch, he still heard that his master was thinking about Jia Ping from time to time.

This shows that the mother and son have not fallen out of favor, so Lao Li has to face it.

"What message was preached?"

"Going back to my ancestors, I heard that Concubine Rong of the Rongguo Mansion forced the current Duke of Rongguo to give up the title of eldest son to the legitimate son of his second wife."

After listening to this, Lao Li understood what Wang Xifeng meant. He was afraid that his son would not have a title, so he asked Jia Rui to find a way.

In fact, this little matter doesn't even need Jia Rui's intervention. Any powerful eunuch can handle it.

But Lao Li didn't dare to make the decision without authorization. After all, this was Jia Rui's family matter. If he got involved, he would lose his head on the spot.

Therefore, Lao Li dismissed the young eunuch and entered the Nourishing Heart Hall again.

Jia Rui was enjoying Xu's massage with his eyes closed. When he heard Lao Li's footsteps, he asked without opening his eyes:
"What's going on outside?"

Old Li first took a peek at Mr. Xu, and then said, "It's the Queen of the Rongguo Mansion who sent someone to deliver the news to Lord Long Live."

Xu's hand stopped for a moment. She didn't understand when there was an extra queen in Rongguo Mansion?
Jia Rui opened his eyes, "What happened?"

"Back to Lord Long Live, it was Concubine Rong who forced Duke Rong Jiashe to give up the inheritance rights of the title to Jia Baoyu, the second wife."

Jia Rui frowned, understanding what was going on, and at the same time, he felt a sense of disgust in his heart.

This Jia Mu was so greedy that she even put her own little calculations on her own son.

If Jia Mu really succeeds, what will her son Jia Ping do in the future? Do you want to be a common man?

Although Jia Rui, as the emperor, can give Jia Ping an official position or even a title at will, it cannot be excessive, and the etiquette cannot exceed that of Rongguo Mansion.

Precisely because of the special status of the Ning Rong Second Mansion in the Jia family, Jia Rui has always had the idea of ​​letting his son Jia Ping inherit the Rongguo Mansion.
