Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 153 Difficulties
"Is your family still collecting money during this time?" Xue Baochai seemed to have thought of something, and then asked.

Wang Xifeng sighed, this was what she was worried about during this time.

The Jia family was barely able to maintain the business shares they received from Jia Rui some time ago.

However, some time ago, because I had to pick up a holy driver, the money spent at home was like water.

Although the old lady took part of Lin Daiyu's money, it was not enough for the men in the family.

Therefore, Wang Xifeng had to find another way.

What can Wang Xifeng do?He could only make ends meet by taking out his private money and losing part of his treasury.

"Don't you know about this family? There are so many masters and hundreds of people. It makes me feel bad to see the money spent every day."

After hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Xue Baochai was a little worried for her, but after all, this was someone else's matter, so she couldn't move her own money over to relieve Wang Xifeng's worries.

So Xue Baochai just sighed and changed the subject again.

"What's going on? What's going on in the New Year?"

"Master, I can't do it today."

After hearing this, Sanjie You's eyebrows stood up, but she still suppressed her anger and said in a neutral tone:
"I'm not as kind as you. Otherwise, they would be afraid of me and fawn over you."

After finishing speaking, Third Sister You stood up, stamped her feet, turned and left the house.

Jia Rui paused for a moment and then said, "I'm worried about the old man at home. If the old man gets angry, I won't be able to escape."

But this maid is also smart. She knows that if she doesn't refute now, she will not end well in the future.

"Go back and rest if you are sick. Your third lady is not an unreasonable person. She is just angry that you did not report it in advance."

"It's so disgusting, and I didn't even look at anyone else!" Third Sister You's voice came from inside the room.

Second Sister You stood up and came to Jia Rui's side with gentle steps.

When Sanjie You saw Jia Rui and ignored her, she stamped her feet angrily and then followed Jia Rui.

Third Sister You was a little angry and said angrily to the window:

"I didn't have my period this month."

Arriving at the back, Jia Rui entered the main hall.

After finishing, he said to Third Sister You who was still standing there glaring at her:

"Okay, okay, I heard you."

Ping'er had no choice but to help Wang Xifeng slowly walk around the house.

"No way? As long as you can come and see me often, this life will be worth it."

Let’s not talk about them, let’s talk about Jia Rui in Ningguo Mansion.

Xue Baochai and Jia Rui are not worried. With Xue Baochai's character, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he will not show it on his face.

Jia Rui's eyes lit up, and then he gently tapped Sister You's forehead with his hand, "You little clever guy, just do as you say."

After hearing Jia Rui's words, Sanjie You raised her head and glanced at him, then stood up from the chair angrily.

Sister You showed a happy smile, leaned on Jia Rui's shoulder, and whispered softly:

Second Sister You nodded gently.

At this time, there was a cough from outside the door, and then Sister You opened the curtain and came in.

I watched the show until the afternoon, then turned around and left.

Jia Xuan, who was still ignorant, could only grin and giggle under her mother's teasing.

Soon Ping'er re-entered the house. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Xifeng holding her back and trying to get out of bed.

At first, Jia Xuan was still curious and gently patted Jia Rui's face with her chubby little hands, but soon she felt the power of Jia Rui's beard attack and began to push the huge monster desperately.

This startled Ping'er. She quickly stepped forward to support Wang Xifeng, and then complained:

Not only did Third Sister You not leave, but she walked not far away, moved a chair and sat down, looking at Second Sister You and Jia Rui.

However, today, Second Sister You did not greet Jia Rui as she did before. Instead, she resisted gently.

Jia Rui ignored Third Sister You and came to the bedside with his arms around Second Sister You.

The two chatted for a while, then Xue Baochai stood up and left.

Jia Rui reluctantly ordered other maids to help the little maid away.

After hearing Jia Rui's words, the maid felt as if she had been granted amnesty. She kowtowed a few times and wanted to stand up and leave. However, she was really ill and could not stand upright after shaking a few times.

However, after leaving Ningguo Mansion, he asked the servant below to go home and report that something happened in the Yamen today.

"Aren't you coming back? Why did you suddenly appear so scary?"

But Jia Rui was having fun, how could he leave, so he got more serious and took advantage of Jia Xuan's face.

At this embarrassing moment, a middle-aged woman's voice came from outside the house,

Second Sister You, who was sitting on the bed, gritted her teeth as she looked at Jia Rui's joyful expression, and then her eyes became firm.

The only person who makes Jia Rui a little worried is his grandfather Jia Dairu.

"Well, I'll go back and discuss it with my family today, and then I'll give you an answer."

"What's wrong? Are you pregnant?"

So he just rolled his eyes, then passed Sister You and walked to the back.

Jia Rui waved his hand, and then said: "I know Baochai's character. She is magnanimous and would never have such thoughts."

Sister You, who was sitting on the bed sewing clothes, saw Jia Rui coming in. She immediately had a look of surprise on her face, then she quickly dropped her work and came over to serve Jia Rui.

There was nothing Jia Rui could do about this sharp-tongued little girl.

"I've been sitting in bed all day. If I don't get out of bed and walk around, I'm afraid I won't even know how to move my legs and feet."

Entering his room in the back house, Xue Baochai was playing with his son Jia Xuan there.

Then Jia Rui walked gently behind Xue Baochai, and then suddenly hugged Xue Baochai.

As he spoke, Jia Rui leaned over again and rubbed his face against his son's little face.

Jia Rui suddenly became excited, "Okay, this is a great thing."

Wang Xifeng held Ping'er's shoulders, moved out of bed, and said:

"Are you afraid that grandma won't agree?"

As soon as Third Sister You left, Jia Rui immediately held Second Sister You in his arms, and then fell on the bed.

"What else can you do? These girls you bought consider themselves their masters. They wish we sisters could serve them personally."

Jia Rui frowned and stopped, then thought about it.

To say that Jia Rui is now considered a court compound, there are only a few people in the world who can scare Jia Rui.

After hearing this, Second Sister You frowned slightly, and then said with a smile: "I'm pregnant no matter what, does the old man just want the family's flesh and blood to go outside?"

"You heard me, mom called you, why don't you go quickly?" Second Sister You said, glaring at Third Sister You fiercely.

The little maid who was kneeling on the ground was so frightened that she could no longer kneel after hearing what Third Sister You said.

Then Jia Rui made a circle and came to his courtyard.

"I've been busy these days and haven't come to see you. Aren't you angry?"

"Third sister, third sister, where did that dead girl go?"

When Jia Rui heard this, his eyes shone a little, and the unhappiness just now was forgotten.

Jia Rui was a little disappointed by the fuss made by Second Sister You. He let go of Second Sister You angrily and sat up straight again.

"Uncle, look, I'm pregnant now. What will happen to this child in the future if he's born without a birthright?"

Jia Rui sat down on the bed and pinched his son's chubby face.

And Jia Dairu was just one of these people.

As he spoke, Jia Rui began to walk around excitedly on the ground.

So he suppressed his fear, knelt and crawled forward a few steps, and said to Jia Rui:
"Master, it's not that I'm lazy. I'm really ill today, so I couldn't get out of bed."

When I walked in, I saw a little maid wearing very thin clothes, kneeling in the yard and shivering.

Since Second Sister You was pregnant, Jia Rui could not stay here overnight, so he took the family home after dinner.

And Third Sister You was sitting on a chair nearby, pointing at the maid and scolding her.

"Grandma, even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about the young master in your belly! What will you do if something bad happens?"

Before entering the yard, I heard Sister You scolding someone in the front yard.

Xue Baochai was having fun with her son when she was suddenly attacked. She was startled and fell involuntarily onto the bed with a "Ah" sound in her mouth.

"The little maid is sick, just let her rest. You are not short of help, so why go to war like this."

Seeing this warm scene, Jia Rui didn't know what was going on and wanted to join in, so he waved his hand gently to Ying'er, who was standing aside and wanted to remind Xue Baochai.

Second Sister You was a little annoyed when she saw Jia Rui. She quickly got up and whispered in Jia Rui's ear:

"I originally had something to do, but after I left, something went wrong. I couldn't do it today, so I came back."

"What a blind little boy. You thought you were a grandma from some family? You dared to pretend to be sick in bed. I tell you, don't be complacent. If you offend the third grandma of the Qian family one day, I'll kill you immediately. You sold them to coal mines."

However, after seeing that it was Jia Rui, Xue Baochai felt relieved and hit Jia Rui on the shoulder.

Second Sister You did take good care of herself, and she was pregnant with her own child. Logically speaking, he should take her back to the house.

The good atmosphere was ruined in this way.Second Sister You glared at Third Sister You angrily, "Mom has been looking for you for a long time, come over quickly!"

Jia Rui frowned after listening outside the door, then opened the door directly and went in.

Jia Rui looked at the poor little girl with some compassion.

Wang Xifeng did not keep her and asked Ping'er to send Xue Baochai away.

Under Sister You's service, Jia Rui took off his outer robe and put on regular clothes at home.

In the end, Jia Xuan might have gotten bored, and she started to cry in protest with a "wow" sound.

Xue Baochai, who was lying aside, saw that Jia Rui was getting more and more outrageous, so he quickly pushed Jia Rui away and held his precious son in his arms.

Strangely enough, as soon as the little guy was hugged by Xue Baochai, he stopped crying immediately.
