Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 584 A thorn in the side

After Jia She returned to his small courtyard, he immediately wrote a memorial and prepared to send it to the court tomorrow.

He hasn't seen his son for many years, and now he can't wait for Jia Lian to come back. Although after Jia Lian comes back, his nose is not a nose, and his face is not a face, but he still misses him after they are separated. After all, they are father and son!

He took action on his side, and Mrs. Wang was not idle on her side either. The next day Mrs. Wang put on her third grade imperial edict, and then ordered someone to carry the sedan chair straight to the palace gate.

After arriving at the gate of the palace, he ordered his servant to give some money to the eunuch guarding the gate, and then asked him to go to Longshou Palace to report that the Queen Mother's niece, Mrs. Wang, wanted to see him.

The little eunuch took the money and knew that the one who was about to enter the palace was the Queen Mother's niece, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it, and soon the news spread to the Dragon Head Palace.

At this time, in the Longshou Palace, the old emperor Jia Dairu was looking at rare ancient books in his study, already feeling happy and reluctant to miss Shu.

Mrs. Wang is forcing her precious grandson Jia Xuan to write big characters.

The reason is that Jia Rui has already made room in the Wenhua Palace to allow several older princes to go there to receive education.

Among these princes, Jia Xuan is the oldest, and Mrs. Wang naturally hopes that he will stand out and be stronger than the other princes to ensure his status.

At this time, the young eunuch came in and reported, "The old Queen Mother, the Wang family of Rongguo Mansion wants to see you."

Mrs. Wang looked up at this magnificent palace with envy and jealousy in her eyes.

Of course, if she came in alone, her maids and servants would have to wait outside.

The palace maid Xia'er who is serving him there has prepared many fun things for him to wait for when he returns!

With Mrs. Wang's words, the young eunuch below immediately went straight to the palace gate, and Mrs. Wang could enter the palace smoothly.

But in less than ten years, their family has developed like this. First, they built the Wu Guo Mansion next to their own home, and then moved directly into the palace.

Therefore, Queen Mother Wang still has a very good impression of her niece.

Although she sighed in her heart, Mrs. Wang cautiously followed the young eunuch into the main hall, passed through the side door of the main hall, and entered the room next to it.

Queen Mother Wang was stunned when she heard that it was Mrs. Wang who asked for an audience.

Under the guidance of the little eunuch, they soon arrived at the Dragon Head Palace. .

"Pass it in quickly."

You must know that the Confucians of the Jia Dynasty were already so poor that they could hardly afford to eat. In order to treat Jia Rui, they could not even afford ginseng. Fortunately, he gave them some.

She was not very familiar with Mrs. Wang, but when Jia Rui was about to die from illness, Mrs. Wang still asked the house to prepare some ginseng out of family ties. As for the last thing she got, it was ginseng seeds. This was Wang Xifeng's gift. Of course, Mrs. Wang is not responsible for the mischief.

After entering, Mrs. Wang quietly looked up and saw an old woman wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe sitting in the middle.

The opportunities that God gives to human beings are truly ever-changing.

Jia Xuan is indeed a smart kid, but his thoughts are similar to Jia Baoyu's, and he does not focus on business. Although he writes big words there, his mind has drifted to Kunning Palace.

At this time, Queen Mother Wang was full of grandeur, and she was now used to her status as queen.

Mrs. Wang quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded, then asked the maid next to her to help Mrs. Wang up, and set a seat for her next to her. Mrs. Wang sat carefully on her seat, then lowered her head and stopped talking.

Mrs. Wang saw that Mrs. Wang's face was full of sorrow, and she somewhat understood why.

What happened in Chaoshang during this period also reached Mrs. Wang’s ears from time to time.

"Don't be sad, your Baoyu family is blessed and will always have a bright future in the future." Mrs. Wang comforted her.

Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly, and then told the truth: "Old Queen, you know our Baoyu's character. I'm afraid he will be like this for the rest of his life. I don't expect him to have any future. I just hope that he will be safe."

Mrs. Wang also sighed after hearing this. Jia Baoyu's character is really hard to describe.

Speaking of which, Jia Baoyu still respects himself as an old lady, and is obedient to the sisters in the house. He is considered a very good brother.

But then again, his personality, which only knows how to hang out in the back house and does not know how to make progress, is looked down upon by any aristocratic family.

"Hey, how about I ask for a favor from the emperor and give your Baoyu an official?"

Mrs. Wang was a little moved, but she quickly thought of her precious son's character. If he went out to be an official, I am afraid that soon the censor's work would be piled up on Jia Rui's desk.

"The old Queen Mother doesn't dare anymore. If my Baoyu goes out to become an official, won't it harm the people? Let him hang around in the house."

Mrs. Wang nodded. She also knew Jia Baoyu's character. Since Mrs. Wang refused, she said nothing more.

"Then what else happened to you when you came to the palace this time?"

"Old Queen, this is what I'm thinking. Our Baoyu can't be counted on, but Jia Lian is capable of doing things anyway. It's better to let him come back first and stop hanging around outside."

Mrs. Wang did not expect that Mrs. Wang came into the palace to ask for this.

Mrs. Wang was very pleased with this.

It seems that my cousin is very knowledgeable and has not come to me to slander him because Baoyu has lost his status as the crown prince.

"That's the truth. Jia Lian has been away for many years. Now our family is in this situation. It is no longer appropriate for him to be a county magistrate outside as the Supreme Son. It is also good to let him come back."

Mrs. Wang agreed with Mrs. Wang's idea, and then continued: "Let your family make a memorial, and I will give you a drumbeat at the emperor's side. This matter should be accomplished."

Mrs. Wang nodded happily, chatted some more with Mrs. Wang, and left happily.

Mrs. Wang let out a long breath after leaving the palace, and her eyes flashed.

Last night, she was planning to go to the palace to ask Mrs. Wang to give the title of Crown Prince to their family Baoyu, but then she thought about it, Jia Rui's side had already issued an imperial edict, how could it be easily changed?

Therefore, she couldn't help but set her sights on Jia Lian. As long as Jia Lian made a mistake, he would naturally not be able to continue to be the heir apparent, and only their Baoyu would be qualified.

At that time, wouldn't Baoyu inherit the Rongguo Mansion as a matter of course?

But there is a premise for this, that is, Jia Lian has committed an unforgivable crime, but now that Jia Lian is thousands of miles away, she is beyond her reach, so she simply transfers Jia Lian back first, and is she afraid that she will not be able to find his fault under her nose?

Even if no mistake can be found in the end, he can still create a mistake that will prevent Jia Lian from turning over forever.
