Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 252
Jia Rui frowned after hearing Jia Baoyu's words.

Your maid Qingwen is ill. You want to find a doctor for her. Why do you come to me?
When Jia Baoyu saw that Jia Rui didn't understand what he meant, he said quickly:
"I have found a doctor for Qingwen, but he is not available, so I would like to ask Brother Rui to send a message to recruit an imperial doctor to take a look at Qingwen."

When Jia Rui heard this, he almost spat into Jia Baoyu's face.

Are you really an imperial physician that anyone can find?

What is Qingwen's identity?She is just a maid, but she is so expensive that she has to work for the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital.

So Jia Rui's face darkened at that time, "I can't do this."

Jia Baoyu might have been really anxious. After hearing Jia Rui's rejection, he knelt down with a plop in front of Jia Rui.

Jia Rui was knelt down by many people, not to mention Jia Baoyu, all the third-rank officials in the current dynasty knelt down for him.

Therefore, Jia Rui was not in a hurry, but clapped his hands. After hearing this, the maid outside immediately brought in fragrant tea for Jia Rui.

In this way, while Jia Rui drank tea, he watched Jia Baoyu kneeling there and pleading for mercy.

After a long time, Jia Rui finally understood that Jia Baoyu's friends were also closely related.

When he begged Liu Xianglian some time ago, he was not so persistent.

If he had knelt in front of him and said good things like this, Jia Rui would have really been able to let Liu Xianglian go.

Now when he met Qingwen, whom he had been asking for, he immediately changed and wanted to give her heart to Jia Rui.

If it were his other maids who got sick, I'm afraid Jia Baoyu wouldn't be so anxious.

This is not because other maids Jia Baoyu have already taken advantage of her, but Qingwen is the only one who guards her innocence like jade and never lets Jia Baoyu succeed.

Precisely because it was Jia Baoyu who doted on Qingwen and wanted to achieve a certain goal, Qingwen was jealous of everyone in Yihongyuan, and was eventually kicked out of the Grand View Garden on an unfounded charge.

Later, this innocent, strong and confident girl died on her sister-in-law's "wormy" Tukang.

This is undoubtedly a different kind of irony.

After thinking of this, Jia Rui sighed, and then shouted "Wangcai" outside.

Following Jia Rui's cry, Wangcai appeared in front of Jia Rui like a machine on call 24 hours a day.

"Take my post and go to the Imperial Hospital to hire a better physician, and then you can send him to the Grand View Garden in person."

After hearing this, Wangcai glanced at Jia Baoyu who was kneeling there, and then went out with a low eyebrow.

"Okay, get up quickly."

After hearing Jia Rui's words, Jia Baoyu immediately stood up with a smile on his face.

"Brother Rui, thank you very much. After Qingwen recovers in two days, I will ask her to serve you tea to say thank you."

"Okay, okay, go back quickly."

Naturally, Jia Baoyu was not in the mood to stay with Jia Rui anymore. Jia Rui was a stinky man, but there was a fragrant beauty lying in his room.

So he quickly bowed and left in a hurry.

Jia Rui looked at Jia Baoyu leaving and shook his head helplessly.

Since Jia Zheng left Beijing to take up his post in Hainan, Jia Baoyu has finally taken off his reins and dared to run out in the middle of the night. If he had dared to be so bold when Jia Zheng was around, his legs would have been broken long ago.

However, now I think that both Jia Zheng and Jia Lian's uncle and nephew are officials in Hainan. If the two of them meet together, they will meet their old friends in a foreign land, right?
After sending Jia Baoyu away, Jia Rui was not in the mood to go to the back house anymore, so he spent the night in the study and hurriedly got up to go to the cabinet the next day.

As the Emperor recovered, Jia Rui returned to his original authority in the cabinet, and the three college students all followed Jia Rui's lead.

But now Jia Rui is wary of He Chaodong and Ma Chengyang.

These two guys were just outsiders. When Wu Jingzhong impeached him at the Cabinet University, these two guys also joined in the fun. Once they saw that the atmosphere was not right, they immediately stepped back and pushed Wu Jingzhong out.

This time, seeing something a little wrong with the Supreme Emperor, he immediately voted for the Emperor. If the Supreme Emperor hadn't been prepared to pursue the case, Jia Rui would have asked the people below to impeach these two guys.

On the contrary, it was Xu Biao who actually spoke for himself this time. Whether it was because of his true intentions or his interests, Jia Rui finally remembered this sentiment.

Therefore, as soon as Jia Rui came to the cabinet, he immediately ordered that all memorials from now on should be reviewed by the three bachelors in order, and there was no need to divide the yamen as before.

Xu Biao was naturally happy after hearing this. Although he was also a cabinet bachelor, his power was far inferior to the other three.

Although the Supreme Emperor had promised himself to be on an equal footing with several other universities some time ago, without Jia Rui's words, the matter had been delayed. Now, finally, good luck has come.

After listening to Jia Rui's words, He Chaodong and Li Chengyang knew that Jia Rui was unhappy about what happened to them the past few days.

But there was nothing they could do. You must know that their decision at that time was also for the sake of the stability of the court.

It was precisely for this reason that the Supreme Emperor did not punish the two of them. Otherwise, based on their betrayal, the Supreme Emperor would not be able to spare these two people.

The most important official task today is to promulgate the matter of the crime bank and let officials across the country know about it.

In this way, it will also be convenient for these officials to pay for themselves in the future.

Of course, these memorials will fall into the hands of Jia Rui or Qin Shun first. Whether they can be sent to the Supreme Emperor and whether the Supreme Emperor can grant their approval are two different things.

The three cabinet bachelors were very tedious and busy in handling official documents, but Jia Rui was much more relaxed. He sat on it with a cup of tea. The cabinet bachelor sent a memorial. After reading it, he wrote whether he agreed or not. Just put it aside and wait until the afternoon to send it to the emperor.In this way, Jia Rui hung out for another day.

I had a casual meal at the cabinet at noon, and then went to the Supreme Emperor's place in the afternoon to chat with the Supreme Emperor for a long time, and then I had time to leave the palace.

Jia Rui is actually much more relaxed now than before. You must know that before, he was still worried about things on the Beijing side.

During this time, Jia Rui had divided the Beijing camp into several parts, and then arranged for his close military commanders to act as agents. Jia Rui usually went there every ten days and a half to meet these big-headed soldiers and let them know who they were. Commander, the mission is completed.

After coming out of the Supreme Emperor's place, Jia Rui returned home in a happy mood.

Originally, Jia Rui would not go home so early because he had a lot of entertainment and many officials rushed to invite him.

But because he had just received the beauty yesterday, Jia Rui was still fresh and wanted to go back and have a close relationship with the beauty.

So, Jia Rui returned home.

As soon as he entered the yard, before he reached the second gate, he saw Xue Biao anxiously walking back and forth.

Jia Rui frowned, looking like he was waiting for him.

"Brother, are you wandering around here?"

Jia Rui walked over as he spoke.

When Xue Biao saw it was Jia Rui, he immediately took a step forward, first held his hands, and then said:

"Sir, I have something to ask of you. Please be accommodating to me, brother-in-law."

Jia Rui sighed helplessly, what did you say?Yesterday it was Jia Baoyu, today it is Xue Biao. Why are there so many things going on at home?
However, Xue Biao is closer to his relatives than Jia Baoyu, so Jia Rui cannot shirk Xue Biao's problem.

"Just tell me, I'll do whatever I can for you!"

Xue Biao stopped talking at this time. His face turned red and he opened his mouth several times without saying anything.

"If you have anything to do, just tell me. I don't have time to chat with you here."

Finally Xue Biao finally spoke.

"Please ask my brother-in-law to propose marriage for me."

Jia Rui was stunned for a moment, and then looked Xue Biao up and down.

This guy has great skills!You haven't been in the capital for a long time. Whose girl have you fallen in love with in such a short time?
So Jia Rui asked curiously: "Whose girl is she from?"

Xue Biao said nervously: "It's Xing Xiuyan, the niece of Mrs. Xing, the eldest daughter of Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Rui was relieved when he heard the name. Maybe Xue Biao didn't know the other girl, but Xing Xiuyan came to Beijing together with Xue Biao. It was not strange that the two had a crush on each other.

But he had been calm during this period, so why did he suddenly beg himself to propose marriage to him today?

"Did Xing Xiuyan be humiliated in Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Rui guessed the reason in a flash of his mind.

Xue Biao lowered her head and said, "Today she sent her maid to come to me and tell me that she was wronged today and can no longer stay in Rongguo Mansion."

"What exactly happened?"

Xue Biao sighed and finally told what happened in Rongguo Mansion.

It turned out that Wang Xifeng lost a shrimp whisker bracelet two days ago.

Wang Xifeng is also very wealthy now and doesn't care about the bracelet. He just asks the people below to look for it.

Ping'er was the main person in charge of this matter. She thought about the people in the garden and felt that Xing Xiuyan's family was the poorest. She was afraid that the children's family had never seen it before, so even if she picked it up, there would be some.

But somehow, these words reached Xing Xiuyan's ears.

Although Xing Xiuyan's family was poor, he was strong. After hearing this, he was naturally ashamed and full of resentment.

But now that she was living under someone else's roof, she had no place to reason, so she could only cry alone in the house. In the end, she felt really wronged, so she sent the maid to find Xue Biao and asked him to think of a solution.

Xue Biao had no idea what he could do, and finally thought of being superior, he simply came to ask Jia Rui to propose marriage. He thought that in this way, the people in Rongguo Mansion would not dare to embarrass Xing Xiuyan too much for the sake of Jia Rui's face.

Jia Rui almost burst out laughing after hearing what the young man said.

Sure enough, you are still young and can do anything for love.

"Okay, since you said so, I'll ask Baochai to go over and have a look."

Jia Rui is very optimistic about this couple who fell in love in feudal society, so he is ready to help them.

Jia Rui now feels that he has almost become a matchmaker in the world of Dream of Red Mansions.

Back then, Jia Rui had spoken kindly to Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu in front of Jia's mother, and then they got engaged.

Now they have to form a pair, Xue Tao and Xing Xiuyan.
