Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 154

"Okay, okay, don't make your son angry, hurry up and say hello to the old man, and let's rest."

After hearing this, Jia Rui felt that it made sense, so he got up from the bed, changed his clothes under the service of Ying'er and Brother Ying, and then went straight to Mr. Jia Dairu.

When I entered the room, I found the old lady Jia Dairu reading a book under the lamp with gusto.

Jia Rui quickly stepped forward to salute, "My grandson Jia Rui has met his grandfather."

Jia Dairu put down the book in his hand, looked at Jia Rui, and then said, "I have nothing to do here. You can go back and rest."

This is a common practice in the family. Normally, Jia Rui can bow out at this time.

But today, Jia Rui did not leave. Instead, he diligently went forward and took a bamboo stick to pick out the wick to make the candle brighter.

Doctor Jia looked at Jia Rui and knew that he had something to ask of him.

"Let me tell you what you have to say. I've been watching your little thoughts for more than 20 or [-] years, and I'm already tired of them."

Jia Rui nodded without saying anything. He stretched out his hand to unfold the clothes sewn by Xue Baochai and took a look.

Xue Baochai reached out and took the clothes back, and then said: "The people below are not careful. I am afraid that if there are any seams or something, my son will not be comfortable wearing it."

So after hearing that Second Sister You was pregnant, he set his sights on Second Sister You.

In fact, it's not that Xue Baochai is not jealous, but that when Xue Baochai married Jia Rui, she was already mentally prepared for Jia Rui to take a concubine.

Jia Rui is such a treacherous person. When he saw this scene, he knew that something was wrong. This little girl must be going to tell the truth.

"Okay, stop making trouble here and quickly ask Brother Ying to take a bath for you. Have a good rest today."

As she spoke, Mrs. Wang walked around from behind the screen with the help of the maid.

But Mrs. Wang was not happy anymore, "What do you want to tell my girl?"

Jia Rui felt helpless when he saw Mrs. Wang's anxious look, "Old lady, I just found out that I'm pregnant. It's too early to give birth."

In Mrs. Wang's view, Second Sister You is just a concubine. She takes her child by her side and raises her. She thinks highly of her, and Second Sister You naturally does not dare to object.

Jia Rui continued with satisfaction: "For you, didn't I find a girl from outside to explore the way for you first? If your grandma is not angry, then I will take you as my concubine. Isn't this safer?"

"Of course we took him back. How could our heir be born outside?"

The complacency in Jia Rui’s heart!This little girl is really easy to coax, and she can change the subject with just a few words.

But Jia Rui didn't care, because under normal circumstances, Xue Baochai got up very early because she was the head grandmother and had to take care of the family's food and drink.

It turned out that Xue Baochai was sewing a small shirt. It seemed that it was made for his son Jia Xuan.

"Is Brother Ying here?"

"Yes."

As soon as Jia Rui laughed, he said, why is this little girl who only smiles silly every day suddenly angry?So that’s what happened.

Not to mention Jia Rui, even the attacker in front of Jia Baoyu can be seen by everyone. She is the maid prepared for Jia Baoyu at home.

"What's there to be angry about?" Xue Baochai's tone was very calm and somewhat puzzling.

Jia Rui shouted several times, but there was no reply. It seems that Brother Ying followed Xue Baochai?
This makes Jia Rui a little confused, because as the couple's two personal maids, Ying'er and Ying Ge, Xue Baochai will always leave one person to serve Jia Rui at any time.

Coming closer, I saw Xue Baochai still sitting quietly on the bed, sewing clothes.

The maid glanced at Jia Rui secretly when she left, and then a smile appeared on her lips.

Next, Jia Dairu said nothing more.

Jia Rui rubbed his head, somewhat confused about the situation.

In Jia Dairu's view, she is just a concubine and cannot make any big waves. As long as Jia Rui's head does not turn green, everything else is a trivial matter.

"Haha, do you have the guts to eat secretly, but don't have the guts to tell the truth?"

Then Jia Rui told Jia Dairu about Sister You's life experience.

Jia Rui agreed, then organized his words, and then said: "My grandson has raised a foreign wife outside. Now that this woman is pregnant, my grandson wants to take her as his concubine. I don't know what the old man wants." ?”

After Jia Rui washed up, he re-entered the room and found that his son had disappeared. He must have been taken away by the wet nurse.

Jia Rui opened his eyes, and then blocked the sunlight that entered the room with his hands.

"Then if you didn't tell me earlier, you would have made me worry for a long time."

After saying this, Jia Ruizhong stretched out his hand and gently pinched Brother Ying's face.

She originally wanted to hold Jia Xuan by her side and raise her personally, but she was afraid that Xue Baochai would not want to. After all, Jia Xuan was the eldest son, and it was unreasonable to leave Xue Baochai's side.

At this time, Brother Ying seemed to be frightened by Jia Rui and was nodding his head.

When I woke up a little, I found that the beauty next to me was no longer there.

Xue Baochai said to Jia Rui while sewing clothes.

Jia Rui had no choice but to walk over and sit on the bed, "You know what I just said to the old man, right?" Xue Baochai looked up and smiled, "I know."

Not to mention, the hand feels pretty good, although not as good as my own son.

Mrs. Wang immediately showed a victorious smile, then waved her hand and said to the little girl: "Go and do your business, ignore him."

And now Jia Rui still has some modern thoughts that have not been completely assimilated by the etiquette of this era.

Jia Dairu said at this time: "Whose girl are you living with? Is her net worth innocent?"

Entering the bathroom, Brother Ying reluctantly came over to help Jia Rui undress.

Jia Dairu felt a little unhappy when he saw Jia Rui's hesitant look, "Speak directly if you have something to say, why do you have to do this?"

"Hmph, didn't you say you wanted to take me in? I'm old now, why did I take someone else in first?"

"Grandpa, grandson, who am I? How can I let others take advantage of me? Don't worry, what you are worried about will not happen."

Jia Rui stood up immediately after hearing this, "After a day of making trouble outside, it's time to relax and unwind."

As she spoke, she happily helped Jia Rui take a bath.

The golden rooster heralds the dawn and the sun rises in the east.

Jia Rui, who was not released by Sister You, immediately threw himself on the bed and hugged Xue Baochai without letting go.

Now that everything was fine, Jia Rui quickly left because there was still trouble in his room.

Jia Rui opened his mouth, but he couldn't make up any lies, because sitting next to him was his nemesis Jia Dairu.

When there were no outsiders in the room, Jia Rui said complainingly: "Old lady, you've screwed me up."

It turns out that Jia Dairu was worried about the relationship between Second Sister You and Dongfu (Ningguofu), and Jia Rui's head would turn green.

Before Jia Dairu could agree, he remembered Mrs. Wang's voice behind the screen.

After hearing this, Jia Rui nodded secretly, indeed he had a motherly heart.

"Then you're not angry, are you?"

"Of course she is a woman from an innocent family."

Jia Rui quickly ordered, wanting to temporarily trap the little girl.

"Think about me? Why!" Brother Ying looked a little surprised, and saw that Jia Rui's face no longer looked angry.

Jia Rui helped Mrs. Wang sit down next to Jia Dairu, and then said to Jia Dairu diligently:

Jia Rui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xue Baochai was not angry, and then winked at Brother Ying next to him.

After hearing this, Brother Ying felt that it made sense and had a smile on his face again.

Although Xue Baochai kept complaining about Jia Rui's nonsense, she was still very happy in her heart.

Jia Rui hurriedly left Jia Dairu and returned to his room.

"After she comes, she will live temporarily in the small courtyard next to her. Although it is not spacious, there are a few houses that can be used as a temporary place to stay."

"Look, what would your grandma think if I suddenly took you as my concubine? What would you do if I gave you little shoes to wear?"

Jia Rui's face was a little embarrassed, but he still said: "Old Master, my grandson has something to tell you."

After hearing this, Jia Dairu's face became a little gloomy, and then he said: "Dongfu's reputation is not good. Don't ruin your reputation just for a little color."

Jia Rui didn't know these twists and turns, so he was relieved when he heard that Jia Dairu agreed to bring Sister You in.

It turned out that Mrs. Wang became obsessed with this warm baby after Wang Xue Baochai gave birth to her baby.

"Stand right outside the door. I have something to say later."

After all, Jia Rui already had a high official position at that time, and it was normal for an official like him to have a concubine.

Jia Dairu stopped talking, but Mrs. Wang asked anxiously: "How many months has Second Sister You been pregnant? When will she give birth?"

Then the red candles in the room were blown out, and then the bed sounded in the middle of the night.

"You still need to sew these clothes yourself? What's the needlework for?"

Brother Ying, who used to be very attentive to Jia Rui, now turned his face to the side, pouted high, and ignored Jia Rui at all.

Seeing this scene, Jia Rui quickly stepped forward to support Mrs. Wang himself, and then waved his hand to let the maid retreat.

Mrs. Wang was speechless after hearing this, but as she sat there, her eyes rolled around as if she was thinking about something, and the smile at the corner of her mouth got bigger and bigger.

As he spoke, Jia Rui walked out. Brother Ying reluctantly followed Jia Rui holding his clothes.

"Haha, isn't this thinking about you?"

When Jia Rui heard this, he straightened his neck immediately, "What do I have to be afraid of? I just want to make arrangements before telling Baochai."

The little girl chuckled and quietly retreated.

Isn't Xue Baochai really jealous?

"What's wrong with you little girl today? Are you pouting and ignoring people?"

Jia Rui's house also has a bathroom now, although it is just an ordinary room with a large bathtub in it.

Why did you take everything away today?

In fact, it was not that Xue Baochai was not jealous yesterday, but Xue Baochai had always been taught to be magnanimous, and as a lady, she must not be jealous.

But how can this jealousy be suppressed by ethics?
Therefore, Xue Baochai gave Jia Rui a little lesson this morning, which could be regarded as venting his dissatisfaction.
