Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 219
Xue Baochai came to Jia Rui and wished him good luck.

Seeing her solemn look, Jia Rui quickly stood up and said, "Baochai, what does this mean?"

Xue Baochai looked at Jia Rui with bright eyes, and said softly in a calm tone:
"My Lord Marquis is favored by the Emperor, and he handles national affairs for the Emperor. However, Lord Marquis has an unstable temperament and often shows off. If this goes on for a long time, there is no guarantee that he will not be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives. In the end, it may be detrimental to the country."

Jia Rui frowned, a little unhappy.

After all, I am also a court official and a confidant of the Supreme Emperor. Don’t I know more than you?Do you still need to remind me?

Although Xue Baochai saw a cloud on Jia Rui's face, she still did not stop. She still said in a calm tone with a smile on her face: "The Marquis holds great power, so he should be cautious, humble and introspective, but the Marquis just showed off his power. The power and mind are already messed up, so it is inevitable that mistakes will be made when reviewing the memorial."

"You must know that every word of the Marquis is as valuable as gold to the people. If something goes wrong, it may not be just a few families who suffer, but the people of a province and a prefecture."

"I am an ignorant woman in my boudoir. I dare not teach the Marquis a lesson. As a wife, I should give advice and not avoid joy or anger."

Jia Rui stood there looking at Xue Baochai, paused for a while, sighed, and sat down again to think for a while.

What Xue Baochai said did make sense. He was really a little carried away just now, and he no longer knew how high the sky was.

You must know that your power is not the largest in the court now, and it still needs to be improved. If you are already arrogant, you may not be able to escape the pain of a knife in the future.

The ancients were indeed right: a family with a good wife will avoid any misfortune.

Jia Rui stood up again and bowed deeply to Xue Baochai, "What a good wife said is a good word, but my husband was reckless just now."

Xue Baochai was also very happy to see Jia Rui admit his mistake, "I am rude, what can I do to my husband?"

Xue Baochai was happy to see that Jia Rui had admitted his mistake and had reflected on himself. You must know that the whole family was supported by Jia Rui. If he made even the slightest mistake, the family would be over.

Then Xue Baochai saluted Jia Rui again and said, "I have changed my makeup and come back to apologize to the uncle."

After saying that, Xue Baochai left the front hall with the support of two maids, Ying'er and Ying Ge.

After a while, Xue Baochai changed into her home clothes and entered the front hall to see Jia Rui and bowed and apologized again.

This time Jia Rui personally stepped forward to help Xue Baochai up, took her hand and shook it tightly, and then said: "Thank you for reminding me. If you encounter something wrong with me in the future, you will have to remind me more. "

This time, the tense atmosphere just now disappeared, and the warmth in the room returned.

Jia Rui put away his pride, but Third Sister You showed off to Second Sister You.

"You don't know how majestic the uncle was just now. Just a few words decided the life or death of hundreds of thousands of people."

Second Sister You hugged her daughter and said with a smile: "What's the matter? I already knew that the uncle was capable, otherwise I wouldn't have given it to him back then."

You's mother sat next to Sister You and said with a smile: "Our uncle is a Wenqu star in the sky. He will be very lucky in the future. You two girls are the right people."

Second Sister You and Third Sister You nodded involuntarily after hearing this, especially Third Sister You, who rarely agreed with her mother's point of view.

"A few days ago, my natal nephew came to see me. He told me that my natal family was having a hard time. He saw that we were rich and wanted us to help."

Mother You said to Second Sister You and Third Sister You with a smile on her face.

Second Sister You is naturally fine. She has always been a submissive person. Before she got married, she listened to her mother and after she got married, she listened to Jia Rui. This has become a habit.

Now I hear what my mother says, and there is no objection: "Since life is hard, just give them some money."

Second Sister You's family fortune is also very rich now. Jia Rui gave her a small village and also sent some things from time to time, so she could still afford more than ten or twenty taels of silver.

Sister You Sanjie on the side opened her mouth, but in the end she held back and said nothing.

But Mother You patted her thigh and said, "You and I want to get together, but just giving you some money won't last long. I want you to tell the Marquis and arrange an errand for my nephew, so that we can grow up." For a long time.”

The second sister You had little life experience, so she opened her mouth to agree, but the third sister You spoke first.

"Mom, when we were in poverty, your mother's family didn't want to get involved with us at all. Now that we are rich, they are rushing over. Do we dare to associate with such people? Just giving them some money is enough. They are relatives, so if you want to go to the government and seek employment for them, you can’t do it.”

Youmu immediately became unhappy and said with a sullen face: "After all, he is your relative. Now that you two sisters are rich, can't you just watch your poor relatives suffer?"

Sanjie You was also angry, "What kind of relative? I didn't know that he had that dirty idea back then. If I hadn't been so powerful, where would my sister be now?"

Second Sister You seemed to have thought of something, and she stopped trying to dissuade her. She lowered her head and stopped looking at her mother.

When Mother You saw this scene, she knew that both daughters were a little grudgeful. If she completely offended these two aunts, her family would indeed have nothing to rely on.

So, Mother You could only say with a sullen face: "Okay, okay, if you don't want to help, I won't help. Why are you digging for old sesame seeds and rotten millet? I have time to leave beforehand."

After You Mu finished speaking, she angrily raised the curtain and went out.

Second Sister You was a little worried when she saw her mother was angry.

"Sister, do you think we have gone too far? It's not a big deal to mention it to the uncle."

"Hmph, even though it was just a sentence, I can't bear to think about how indifferent he was to our sisters back then. Now that we are up, he wants to take advantage of us again. How can such a good thing happen?" You. The second sister sighed and said nothing more. In fact, she also had some resentment in her heart, but she was always docile and didn't show it.

"Sister, you can't blindly agree to mother's kindness this time."

"But if mother comes to beg again, what should I say?"

Although Second Sister You is soft-tempered, it does not mean that she is stupid.

Because according to You Mu's usual behavior, she should be looking for her again soon.

"Don't promise her. If she has anything to say, let him tell me."

Second Sister You opened her mouth, but finally lowered her head.

Seeing how useless her sister was, Third Sister You stamped her feet angrily, because judging from Second Sister You's behavior, she would not reject her mother again.

In the end, Third Sister You was so angry that she didn't want to stay in the room anymore, so she tossed her sleeves and left.

Sure enough, just as Sister You San thought, Mother You turned around again after a while.

Second Sister You quickly put the girl on the bed, then came over and helped her mother sit down at the table beside her.

"Mom, are you still angry?"

You's mother sighed and said with tears on her face: "My son has no control over his mother. My old woman can no longer control you sisters."

Second Sister You felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her mother's depressed look.

To be honest, she is as wealthy as she is today thanks to her mother's support. Otherwise, she wouldn't know who to marry.

"Mother, you don't have to be sad. I will give you a tip when the uncle comes in the evening."

Mother You finally had a smile on her face. She turned from anger to joy, took Second Sister You's hand and said:
"Speaking of you two sisters, you are the one who is most devoted to your mother. Unlike that girl, Third Sister, you have a strong heart!"

Sister You was praised by her mother, and a smile appeared on her lips.

However, Second Sister You's hope was dashed, because Jia Rui did not rest at her place that night, but went to Third Sister You's place.

Besides, the courtyard of Sanjie You is now full of joy.

Jia Rui was sitting on the veranda in front of the house, watching Third Sister You and the maids playing in the yard.

Third Sister You is much more lively than Second Sister You. When he first got together with Third Sister You, Jia Rui didn't like her strong character, but as time went by, he found that Third Sister You had some naughty.

Although she is the master of these maids in the yard, she can play with these maids and get along very harmoniously.

It wasn't until the lights were turned on that Sister You and the others dispersed. Finally, Sister You changed her clothes under the service of her personal maid Chunxiang, and then came to the front again.

As soon as she entered the door, Sanjie You twisted her waist and came to Jia Rui's body, then sat on Jia Rui's legs and put her arms around Jia Rui's neck.

"Uncle, do you miss me?"

Looking at Sister You's appearance, Jia Rui's brows twitched. This scene should not appear in a deep house compound. It would be normal in a clearing building.

If I hadn't known that Sister You and I were still a virgin, I don't know what people would have thought that Sister You was doing before.

But fortunately, in the Shenzhai compound, no matter how debauched Sister You San is, no one else will know, and she is doing it for herself, so Jia Rui can still accept it in her heart.

So, Sanjie You hugged her waist and said, "Baby, I've been missing you so much these past two days."

With that said, he lifted Sister You up and walked towards the bed.

But there is something wrong with Third Sister You, so Jia Rui cannot get ahead of her right away.

"Uncle, don't worry, I have something to tell you."

Jia Rui's flames stirred up by Third Sister You are about to rise. "If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later. I'm very anxious, sir."

However, Sanjie You on the bed kept dodging Jiarui's strange hands, and her body was very flexible. Jiarui couldn't do anything to her for a long time.

"Okay, okay, tell me what you have to say!"

With a smile, Sanjie You slid next to Jia Rui like a snake, hugged his neck from behind and said:

"My mother's nephew wants to come to play in the autumn wind, and he wants to ask you for a small job."

"What should I do? This is not easy to handle. Let him bring the name card, and I will ask Wangcai to arrange an errand for him at the county government office."

Jia Rui has seen a lot of such trivial things. Many members of the Jia family who are somewhat ambitious or greedy come to see Jia Rui every now and then.

And Jia Rui is very tolerant to most of the people of the Jia clan, and will help them if it is not too much. Therefore, Jia Rui's status in the Jia clan is now very high, even higher than the clan leader. If it weren't for Jia Rui Regardless of the position, can the people below push Jia Zhen down and lift Jia Rui up?
