Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 220
"What you said makes no sense. Am I the kind of person who will do anything for the sake of my mother's family?"

Jia Rui stretched out his hand to drag Sister You from the back to the front, then held her in his arms and roamed her body with one hand.

"Okay, my third sister, please tell me what you have to say. I don't have time to play riddles."

Third Sister You lay in Jia Rui's arms, "Uncle, when my second sister wants to ask you for mercy, you must not agree."

"What's the matter?"

"That family is a snob. They rarely interacted with us when we were in the countryside. They were afraid that we would go to his place to catch the autumn wind. Now that we are up, he comes over again and begs for help. You said, don't give him some food. Lesson, how can I bear this tone in my heart."

Jia Rui laughed, it turned out that this was the case, these little things rarely passed through Jia Rui's mind.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After Jia Rui finished speaking, he pressed on Third Sister You. Third Sister You did not struggle this time.

Then, spend the night playing with dragons and phoenixes.

Early the next morning, Jia Rui finished washing under the service of Third Sister You, and Third Sister You personally sent him out of the yard.

Jia Rui walked around Third Sister You's yard and was about to walk to the main courtyard when he saw Second Sister You being supported by the maid Xianglan.

Seeing Sister You, Jia Rui immediately knew that he wanted to plead for mercy from his mother's family.

To say that Jia Rui didn't care about this trivial matter at all, there was no need for Jia Rui to say hello in person. A random boy could just go to the county government office and take care of the matter.

But the words of Third Sister You yesterday are still in my ears. If I agree to Second Sister You now, Third Sister will have no way to explain.

So Jia Rui wanted to avoid Sister You, but Xianglan ran faster than him and stopped Jia Rui in front of him.

Jia Rui looked at the little girl helplessly.

This little maid has worked in a wealthy family before. If you want to say she is smart, she is really smart.But to say she is loyal, she is really loyal.

Now for her master's sake, she dared to stop her in person.

At this time, Second Sister You also followed up, first gave Jia Rui a blessing, and then leaned delicately against Jia Rui's side.

"Uncle, are you tired of me?" As she spoke, there were tears on Sister You's face.

Jia Rui also had a headache when he saw the beauty crying. This second sister You was made of water just like Jia Baoyu said. Her ability to cry is probably as good as Lin Daiyu's.

"Okay, okay, it's not that I'm hiding from you. It's actually the third sister who has already told the uncle what happened yesterday and told him not to agree to you."

Second Sister You knew immediately that Third Sister You must have had a pillow blow last night.

So she pulled Jia Rui's sleeve and waved it, and said coquettishly: "If you promise her, won't you promise me?"

"Second sister! It's not that I won't agree with you. It's really that I can't get involved in the matters between you sisters. In this way, you and the third sister have a good talk. When an agreement is reached, I will definitely settle the matter for you. .”

After saying that, Jia Rui Baixiu broke away from Sister You, turned around the verandah and disappeared.

Second Sister You pouted and looked at Third Sister You's yard angrily. Then, she stamped her feet and took Xianglan straight to Third Sister You's place.

Besides, Jia Rui arrived at Xue Baochai's place, had breakfast with her, put the memorial back into the box, held it in his arms, and went straight to the palace with his servants and servants.

Jia Rui entered the palace with ease, and then came to the Dragon Head Palace.

When the discerning little eunuch saw Jia Rui coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The Marquis is here."

"Here we come. Is the Emperor up?"

"The Supreme Emperor has just had breakfast, so it's time for the Marquis to go over."

Jia Rui was satisfied, then took out a piece of gold from his arms and threw it over.

The little eunuch stretched out his hand to catch it, with a smile on his face.

Jia Rui carried the box into the Dragon Head Palace. After waiting for a while in the main hall, a message came from inside, asking Jia Rui to go in.

Jia Rui carried the box into the side hall. Dai Quan greeted him as soon as he entered the door. He first took the box held by Jia Rui and then stepped aside.

At this time, the Supreme Emperor was walking around on the ground in the side hall!

The Supreme Emperor has become lazier than before during this period. He used to walk a few laps in the garden, but now he rarely leaves the Dragon Head Palace. He usually walks a few laps on the spacious ground, which is considered exercise.

As a master-level expert, Jia Rui has also felt from the Supreme Emperor's Qi and blood that the Qi and blood of the Supreme Emperor have begun to decline.

There was nothing Jia Rui could do about this.

Jia Rui's system is all about the martial arts plane, and there is no medicine for immortality yet.

Although Jia Rui kept offering miraculous medicines, it only made the Emperor's body decline slower.

The Supreme Emperor stopped when Jia Rui came in, and waved away the palace maid who was supporting him.

"Jia Aiqing is here."

Jia Rui quickly stepped forward to kowtow and salute, and then stepped forward to help the Supreme Emperor slide around on the ground like a dog.

"Shen Jian, you came to say goodbye to me yesterday afternoon."

Jia Rui was stunned for a moment, Shen Jian's speed must be too fast.

However, Jia Rui quickly realized that Shen Jian was playing hard to get, using this frustrated and desperate move to leave Beijing quickly to express his grief and indignation and let the Emperor remember him.Jia Rui blinked, not knowing what to say.

The Supreme Emperor thought that Jia Rui had not seen through the mechanism. He said with some emotion: "Shen Jian, although he is still loyal to me, he also has small thoughts. He is not as good as Jia Aiqing in this regard."

Jia Rui blushed a little after hearing this.

This is mainly because Jia Rui pretends to be good, and because he is a master at the master level. If someone is watching him, he will be noticed immediately.

In this way, others will see Jia Rui's honest and loyal look.

Coupled with the blessing of the Soul Absorbing Talisman, the Supreme Emperor naturally felt that Jia Rui was the most caring person to him.

"The cabinet is now short of one person, and we are preparing to ask you to fill it in. What do you think?"

Jia Rui was stunned. Becoming a bachelor was naturally what Jia Rui dreamed of.

But that bachelor cannot hold other official positions concurrently, and now Jia Rui holds a lot of official positions.

For example, the minister of internal bodyguards, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the governor of the Beijing camp, these are all positions with real power, and Jia Rui does not want to give up these positions yet.

Therefore, Jia Rui hesitated.

"Your Majesty, that great scholar is naturally my dream, but I also have other duties, so I can't let it go."

The Supreme Emperor smiled, he liked Jia Rui's way of being close to his heart and not telling lies.

"This is not a big deal. Besides, this is just an unspoken rule, and there are no clear regulations in the court."

After Jia Rui heard this, his heart almost jumped out of his throat. He was so happy.

If he really said that, then he would have reached the sky in one step.

"Thank you so much for the Emperor's love. I will definitely live up to the Emperor's expectations."

"Okay, let's be so cheerful. I will go to the court in a few days to announce this matter in person."

Jia Rui grinned so happily that he almost reached his cheeks.

Because Jia Rui was happy today, he said that he was very fast in correcting the memorials. He finished correcting all the memorials before lunch.

After getting off work from Longshou Palace, Jia Rui did not go home immediately, but went to the Ministry of Personnel.

Shen Wence, the Minister of Civil Affairs, heard that Jia Rui was coming, and came to the door to greet Jia Rui in person. After that, the two of them led each other to the study inside.

Everyone sat down, the boys brought fragrant tea, Shen Wence dismissed the people below, and only he and Jia Rui were left in the study.

"My lord, come here at this time. Is there something urgent?"

Jia Rui took a sip of tea, and then said softly: "Shen Jian was dismissed as cabinet bachelor, did you know?"

"I know, this matter has already made a big fuss, and people below are talking about who the next cabinet bachelor will be."

Jia Rui was very reserved and took another sip of tea. "Today the Emperor gave me a thorough explanation. He plans to make me a cabinet bachelor."

When Shen Wence heard this, he quickly stood up and saluted Jia Rui and congratulated him, "Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir."

Jia Rui had a smile on his face, but he pretended not to care, "Don't say that! A cabinet bachelor is a hard job. He has to bear the burden of the whole country, so there is no joy."

"Yes, yes, sir, thank you for your hard work. Your Majesty, your heart is broken for the sake of the Emperor's world."

Jia Rui's smiling face almost turned crooked, "Hahaha, it's too praised, it's too praised."

After enjoying Shen Wence's flattery for a while, Jia Rui returned to the topic.

"Although the Supreme Emperor has already agreed, I think that as ministers, we cannot do nothing. Do you think we should ask the people below to submit a few memorials and recommend me, so that the Supreme Emperor can have a reason."

Shen Wence nodded after hearing this. Jia Rui had thought it through quite carefully.

Although the Supreme Emperor agreed to Jia Rui, it was difficult for the Supreme Emperor to say it in person above the court. The people below would find a guide, and the Supreme Emperor would be able to follow the lead.

"My lord is concerned about who you plan to ask to present the memorial?"

"We have a lot of people among the six departments, but if so many of them fall into the trap, I'm afraid the Supreme Emperor will have concerns. And you are not small in power, and it's not convenient for you to come forward. What do you think of Yin Jiayu Village in Shuntian Prefecture?"

Shen Wence nodded after hearing this, Jia Yucun is a suitable person.

First, Jia Yucun's surname was Jia, and he was already connected to the Jia family. He was transferred from Jinling to Shuntian Mansion through Jia Rui's relationship.

Everyone knows that he belongs to Jia Rui, so if he speaks, no one will find it abrupt.

Let him serve as a ladder, and the Supreme Emperor can climb up the steps immediately. In this way, there is no need for dozens of people to play together, causing a fuss, and the Supreme Emperor is also wary.

"This person can do it, and I can also ask one or two junior officials below to agree with him."

"Okay, let's do it like this. You contact the people below, and I'll talk to Jia Yucun tonight."

After talking about business, Shen Wence invited Jia Rui to have a meal at the official department.

After that, he personally sent Jia Rui out.
