Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 261
The two people arrived at the Rongguo Mansion in a carriage and got out of the carriage.

After arriving here, Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes and felt that it was better for him not to get involved in this matter, so he said to Mrs. Xing:
"Madam is going to the old lady's place. If I follow, it would not be good if the old lady asks me what I did in the past. Why don't you go first, madam, and I will take off my clothes and come back."

Mrs. Xing didn't think there was anything wrong, so she nodded in agreement.

After that, the two people separated here and went their separate ways.

Besides, Mrs. Xing came to Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall and saw Jia Mu happily sitting on the imperial concubine's couch chatting with some old ladies.

After seeing Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Xing felt guilty for some reason. She didn't dare to say the words that were already in her throat.

So she could only smile and chat with Jia Mu, then said she was going to Mrs. Wang's place and left.

After she came out, she still felt her heart beating wildly.

Besides, Jia Mu was sitting in the hall, as if she didn't know or care about anything. She was still drinking tea and talking about her homely things.

After about a cup of tea, an old nanny came in from outside. She bowed to Jia Mu first, and then whispered something into Jia Mu's ear.

Jia Mu's face began to turn gloomy, but she soon returned to normal.

"You should keep an eye on this matter, don't let the girl be bullied."

The old grandma nodded and retreated.

Mother Jia waved her hand, and the three or four old ladies below also hurriedly left the room. Mother Jia was the only one left in the room.

She sat there with her eyes closed and thought for a moment, and soon her brows relaxed.

Let you make trouble as long as you don't make trouble in front of me, I will pretend not to know, and when it happens in front of me, I will have another attack.

Jia Mu thought so, but she also felt a headache about this matter.

Maybe Jia Mu can be cruel to others, but she doesn't know how to deal with her eldest son, Jia Mu.

After that incident happened, his eldest son said he was still living in Rongguo Mansion, but in fact he lived in a separate small house at the corner of Rongguo Mansion.

He has indeed suffered over the years, otherwise he would not have become so depressed. To say the least, it was his family that harmed him.

Hey, why not give him some compensation when the time comes?

Besides, an important person also came to Dingxihou Mansion at this time.

This person is none other than Baoling Hou Shi Nai.

Jia Rui didn't want to see Baoling Hou Shi Nai, but for Jia Mu's sake, Jia Rui pinched his nose and decided to meet him.

Therefore, Baolinghou Shi Nai was invited to the flower hall.

Not long after he sat down, Jia Rui walked in with square steps.

As soon as Baoling Hou Shi Nai saw Jia Rui coming, he quickly stood up and went up to salute attentively.

In response to Bowling Hou Shi Nai's gift, Jia Rui just nodded lightly.

This time, Jia Rui was not as polite as last time. He just treated him as an ordinary official.

Bowling Hou Shi Nai was not a fool. When he saw Jia Rui's attitude, he knew that Jia Rui was dissatisfied with him.

But he also had troubles that he couldn't tell. Who asked him to follow the emperor? For the sake of future glory and wealth, there was nothing he could do about being angry now.

Therefore, Baolinghou Shi Nai ignored his seniority and just like a servant, helped Jia Rui to the chair in the middle.

The boy outside brought fragrant tea, and he hurried over to catch it, and then diligently delivered the tea cup to Jia Rui.

Seeing him like this, Jia Rui nodded.

This person is still a bit discerning. It's a pity that no matter how witty and smart you are, you are still the emperor's servant. If there is no benefit, how can I give you an official position?

Jia Rui picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then nodded the bowling Hou Shi Nai with his hand, "You can do it too, we are all a family, there is no need to be so polite."

After receiving Jia Rui's words, Baoling Hou Shi Nai dared to sit down.

"What's the matter with your visit this time?" Jia Rui didn't want to deal with him here, so he asked frankly.

Baoling Hou Shi Nai quickly stood up, then raised his hands and said:
"A while ago, I suddenly fell ill, and I failed to live up to the great love of the Chief Assistant. I feel uneasy. This is not because I have recovered from the illness, so I came to see the Chief Assistant."

Jia Rui's ears had grown numb after hearing these polite words, "Haha, this is the court's care for you. As the chief minister, it is my duty to worry about these things."

"My lord, didn't I miss my official position because of my illness? Now that I have recovered from my illness, I still want to serve the court. Please give me a chance."

Jia Rui drank from the tea cup, seemingly not hearing what Bowling Marquis Shi Nai said.

Although I had promised Jia Mu a few days ago, this guy came to the door again. If I didn't give him a good deal, I would really be sorry for my ancestors.

Baolinghou Shi Nai is not a fool. He has long heard about Jia Rui's fame-seeking behavior, but now that he sees him like this, he doesn't know what to do.

So he quickly took out a small wooden box from his sleeve and carefully handed it to the table in front of Jia Rui.

"Adults, please enjoy some of the gadgets at home!"

Jia Rui reached out and took the box, opened it gently, and then his eyes bulged a little.It turned out that there were three pearls in the box. If they were to be ordinary pearls, Jia Rui had seen many of them. His pearls could be packed in pots.

But these three beads are already as big as a baby's fist, and they are golden in color.

You must know that there are no fake pearls or artificial cultured pearls in this era.

These three pearls can grow to the size of a baby, and are as big as a fist. They were raised for who knows how many years before they were taken out.

Jia Rui has been in this world for a long time, and he often visits the palace and serves as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. What kind of treasure has he not seen?

However, even in the palace, Jia Rui has never seen such a big pearl with such fine quality.

Jia Rui stroked the three pearls and felt a coolness flow into his body along the pearls.

This coolness rushed to the dantian in an instant and merged with the Nine Yang Divine Art inside.

And his Nine Yang Divine Skill, which had already reached its peak, actually began to show slight growth.

Jia Rui's eyes lit up, and he put the pearl back into the box and closed it carefully.

"You were ill at the wrong time last time. Otherwise, you would have left Beijing by now."

"Yes, yes, it's all the fault of the lower officials."

"Now is not the time to give you an official position, but it is impossible to imagine a lucrative position like the last time."

Baoling Hou Shi Nai was dissatisfied when he heard this. He promised well when he was at his aunt's house last time, but now he doesn't give the truth to what he is given. Jia Rui, are you too greedy?

Jia Rui touched the box in his hand and thought for a moment, then said: "Shanxi has been short of a chief envoy for a long time. I originally planned to arrange one for the New Year. Since you are here, I will give you this position."

After hearing this, Baoling Hou Shi Nai's face was full of ecstasy.

Although the land in Shanxi is poor and the output is low, there are many merchants there, and he is in charge of the chief envoy. As long as he operates a little bit, he can make a lot of money every year.

But he didn't know that now everyone in Shanxi belonged to Jia Rui. The reason why Jia Rui arranged for him to be sent to Shanxi was because he wanted to keep an eye on him nearby and prevent him from going to the south to develop his power and give the emperor wings.

But in Shanxi, even if you want to develop your power, others will not listen to you.

If you work honestly, the benefits of Shanxi will be indispensable to you. If you show up to be a monster, the people below will be able to turn against you at that time, and you still can't tell the story of your suffering.

As for the fact that he was originally asked to go to Shaanxi, but now it has been changed to Shanxi, Jia Rui felt that even relatives should not be lenient and should try their best to eliminate the emperor's wings.

After the other party goes to Shanxi, as long as he dares to stretch his hand too far, the handle will fall into his own hands.

At that time, if the other party does not surrender to himself, then a memorial will be sent to the Supreme Emperor to kill the other party.

As for the four major families and not the four major families, you have betrayed me, what kind of favor do I have for you?
After talking about the business, Jia Rui didn't want to continue chatting with this guy, so he picked up the teacup and gestured.

Does this mean serving tea to guests?

Baoling Hou Shi Nai stood up quickly and said, "I have something to do at home, so I won't disturb the chief minister."

Jia Rui sat there steadily and nodded, and said perfunctorily: "Don't worry about your business, there will be news after fifteen."

After Baoling Hou Shi Nai quickly expressed his gratitude again, he carefully exited the flower hall.

After he left, Jia Rui opened the box again and took out a pearl from inside.

The last time I just touched it lightly, now I hold the whole pearl in my hand, and I feel the majestic coolness pouring into my body.

Moreover, the coolness that poured into the body did not conflict with his Nine Yang Divine Art, but was like water from a river flowing into the sea.

And with the influx of coolness, the Nine Yang Divine Art in the body started to boil like a violent storm in the calm sea.

After a long time, Jia Rui put the pearl in his hand into the box again.

This pearl is obviously smaller than before.

At this time, Jia Rui's Nine Sun Magical Skills once again achieved a breakthrough based on its ultimate level.

The internal power of the Nine Yang Divine Art seemed to have undergone a slight qualitative change, and a small drop of water actually condensed in the clouds.

Don't look at this drop of water, but the energy it contains is more than one-tenth of Jia Rui's original inner strength.

Moreover, the scorching inner force of the Nine Yang Divine Art turns into a small drop of water. This is both reasonable and contrary to convention, but it is also so harmonious and unified.

Jia Rui let out a long breath, then carefully picked up the box on the table and nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that as long as he absorbs all the power of the three pearls on the table, his Nine Yang Divine Skill will undergo a qualitative change. I don't know how his skill will be compared to the immortals and gods in this world at that time. difference?
In the small ancestral hall of Dingxihou Mansion, a god was looking at Jia Rui with his divine eyes open.

It turned out that when Baolinghou Shi Nai came in with the small wooden box just now, Jia Yuan, the Duke of Rongguo, who was in the ancestral hall, had already discovered it.

He had found those three pearls in the palace of the previous dynasty, but at that time he did not know that these pearls had such magical functions, so he just regarded them as ordinary treasures and placed them in the warehouse.

Even if you don't know the magic of the three pearls, they are still extraordinary treasures. How could they appear in the hands of Baoling Hou Shi Nai?
