Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 306
The news that King Zhongshun and Jia Rui had become in-laws quickly spread throughout the capital.

The emperor, who was unaware of this, had his mouth cracked after receiving the news, as if he was smiling or crying.

You know, not only did King Zhongshun like Princess Huicheng, the little princess, but even the emperor loved her like a treasure.

After the emperor had been on the throne for so many years, he had married many concubines and had several sons, but none of them gave birth to a princess.

Sometimes when the emperor saw Princess Huicheng coming to the palace, he even wanted to force Princess Huicheng to stay with him as a girl.

If King Zhongshun hadn't argued hard and even quarreled with the emperor several times in the palace, Princess Huicheng might not have been able to stay in Prince Zhongshun's palace in the end.

In the emperor's heart, Princess Huicheng was his daughter.

Now his favorite daughter was going to marry Jia Rui's son, which made the emperor both happy and uneasy.

Besides, Jia Rui came back happily from the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion. He was sitting in the room and talking to Xue Baochai about how lovely Princess Huicheng was. It was really profitable for his family to have such a daughter-in-law.

Regarding this point, Xue Baochai also nodded in agreement.

She originally sent twelve pearls to Jia Rui, but she felt that she was at a disadvantage, but now she feels that if there are 36 pearls at home, let alone twelve, she can give them to her.

The little girl Princess Huicheng is really too lovable.

Just as the couple was thinking about the grand occasion of marrying their daughter-in-law in the future, Ying'er hurried in from outside.

But when she saw Jia Rui sitting next to Xue Baochai, she immediately shut up and carried a cup of tea to Xue Baochai's side as if nothing had happened.

Who is Jia Rui?How could Ying'er hide this little trick from him?
However, Jia Rui was not prepared to expose it.

I only saw Jia Rui stretching, and then said nonchalantly: "I met someone else's daughter today, and I'm going to see my own daughter too."

Jia Rui said and walked out of the door and went straight to Sister You's small yard to see his little daughter Jia Rui.

After Jia Rui left, Xue Baochai said: "Why are you in such a hurry and carrying the uncle on your back?"

Ying'er then came close to Xue Baochai and whispered, "Baoyu's young servant Mingyan said he had something urgent and asked to see him."

"Then there's no need to carry the uncle on your back, right?" Xue Baochai said unhappily.

"Grandma, I heard it's about the second girl of Rongguo Mansion."

Xue Baochai frowned, and then she remembered the happy time when she lived in Rongguo Mansion, when the sisters played together, read together, and wrote poems.

"Did something happen to Yingchun?" Xue Baochai asked anxiously, and then she quickly said: "Call Ming Yan in quickly."

Ying'er agreed and turned around to go out.

After a while, Yinger and Brother Ying brought Mingyan into Xue Baochai's room.

Xue Baochai glanced at Brother Ying, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

I was very satisfied with my maid Ying'er.

You have to know that this time she is meeting a foreigner. If Jia Rui's personal maid, Brother Ying, is not here, if there are any rumors, she can't wash them away even if she jumps into the Yellow River.

Brother Ying happened to be a witness to herself this time, and with the relationship between Brother Ying and Jia Rui, there were no secrets in the mansion that could be kept from her.

As soon as Mingyan entered the door, she immediately knelt down and said, "I would like to say hello to Grandma Rui."

"Get up." Xue Baochai said calmly.

After receiving Xue Baochai's words, Ming Yan dared to stand up, and then stood with her hands carefully.

"Why did Baoyu ask you to come this time?" Xue Baochai asked casually, playing with the jade ring in his hand.

"Grandma Hui Rui, our second master asked me to ask for help from you."

"What's the matter?"

Then, Mingyan told Xue Baochai the purpose of her visit in detail.

It turned out that Jia She wanted to promise Jia Yingchun to an unknown person for 5000 taels of silver.

And this person Jia Baoyu happened to know a little bit about it.

It turns out that as Jia Rui's power grows, more and more people are fawning over Jia Baoyu in Rongguo Mansion.

If Jia Baoyu's father, Jia Zheng, was still in the Rongguo Mansion, he would naturally restrain Jia Baoyu and ask him to study hard. He had no time to go out and make friends.

But now Jia Zheng is still in Hainan, and Jia Baoyu naturally takes off the bridle of his horse and runs around.

In addition, the dandies in Beijing were eager to fawn over Jia Ruijia Baoyu, and soon he became a guest among these dandies.

Just because he had made acquaintances with a wide range of people, he also unconsciously got to know the man who was going to marry Jia Yingchun.

However, Jia Baoyu didn't have a good impression of this person. He knew that his family had some money and his ancestors also had some official positions. However, they had recently fallen into decline. He only had an empty title, so he wanted to have a real job in Beijing.

Jia Baoyu had never taken a serious look at such idiots who were greedy for official positions. In addition, the other party looked a bit wretched, so Jia Baoyu quickly forgot about him.

But unexpectedly, the day before yesterday at Jia Mu's place, I heard Jia She reporting Jia Yingchun's marriage to Jia Mu.

As soon as he heard that Jia Yingchun was going to marry such a fool and a violent maniac, Jia Baoyu immediately became anxious, but he had no choice but to send his servant to beg Xue Baochai, hoping that she could get it. Jia Rui came forward to resolve the matter.

Xue Baochai also frowned when he heard Ming Yan's narration.In Rongguo Mansion, Xue Baochai was actually most worried about Jia Yingchun.

The other girls all had their own opinions, but Jia Yingchun was the only one who accepted the situation like a piece of wood.

If she marries someone who doesn't care about her, Jia Yingchun will have a hard time in the future.

However, what matters at this time is the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can she, an outsider, interfere with Jia Yingchun's marriage?
Xue Baochai thought for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Jia Yingchun's marriage had not been completely finalized yet, which meant that others could come to propose marriage.

In this case, you might as well choose a reliable person and arrange a marriage with Jia Yingchun in advance.

Then Xue Baochai thought of Zhou Lang who had stayed in his house for a while.

This young man is young, handsome, and has extraordinary martial arts skills. He is trusted and valued by his husband.

This time, he was promoted to the capital of Hainan by his husband, and he controlled the military power of a province. He was considered young and promising.

If he and Jia Yingchun become a couple, it will be a match made in heaven.

After all, for Jia Rui's sake, Zhou Lang didn't dare to treat Jia Yingchun badly.

After making the plan, Xue Baochai smiled slightly and said to Ming Yan below: "This is not a big deal. You go back and tell Baoyu not to worry about it. I have my own plan for this matter."

After finishing speaking, Xue Baochai picked up the cup and took a small sip.

The maid Ying'er immediately said to Mingyan, "You can go back first."

Mingyan could only pay a thousand and then retreated.

Besides, after Xue Baochai made up his mind, he specially ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous banquet, and then ordered people to go to Second Sister You to invite Jia Rui back.

About half an hour later, Jia Rui reluctantly walked in with his precious daughter Jia Rui in his arms.

"It's not dinner time yet, why bother?" Jia Rui said as he picked up the chopsticks from the table and gave Jia Rui a bite of food.

Little Jia Rui opened her small mouth, like a little squirrel, nibbling the vegetables that Jia Rui sent her, looking no worse than the loyal and obedient girl from the Wang family.

Xue Baochai was not at all jealous of Jia Rui's doting on little Jia Rui.

Instead, he very naturally stepped forward and held little Jia Rui in his arms, and then asked Brother Ying to wait on Jia Rui and sit on the upper hand.

Jia Rui nestled in Xue Baochai's arms, not feeling restrained. She grabbed Xue Baochai's hair with her little hands and wanted to put it into her mouth.

"Oh, my little aunt, why do you put everything in your mouth!" Xue Baochai took the hair out of Xiao Jia Rui's hand and touched her forehead to Xiao Jia Rui's face.

Jia Rui showed a big smile to Xue Baochai who was teasing her, then stretched out her fat hands to hold Xue Baochai's head, pouted and kissed her hard on the face.

Jia Rui looked on and laughed.

Xue Baochai rolled her eyes at Jia Rui, and then sent the little Jia Rui in her arms to Ying'er's arms, "Send it to the next room to play with Jia Xuan. You can watch it personally and don't let them fall."

Ying'er agreed and went out with Jia Rui in her arms.

After there were no outsiders in the house, Xue Baochai poured wine for Jia Rui himself, and Jia Rui naturally welcomed all who came.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Xue Baochai leaned next to Jia Rui and said, "It seems that sister Yingchun in Rongguo Mansion is getting engaged."

Jia Rui was stunned for a moment, then put down the wine glass in his hand and began to think deeply.

In Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Yingchun did not marry well, and was ravaged after her marriage.

Jia Yingchun's verdict is: The son is a wolf in Zhongshan, and he becomes rampant when he succeeds.The golden boudoir flower and willow quality will last for a long time.

Now that he has traveled through time and has a high and powerful position, the Jia family's status has also risen a lot, so this situation should not happen anymore.

"Which family did you decide on?"

"I heard from Baoyu that he seems to be a playboy who is used to drinking and beating women."

Jia Rui was stunned for a moment. It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it be that Zhongshan wolf?

Jia Rui is full of sympathy for the poor girl Jia Yingchun. If she doesn't know, forget it. Now that she knows, she must not let Jia Yingchun fall into the hands of this mountain wolf again.

"What's going on with Jia She? When you get engaged to a girl, why don't you ask about her character?" Jia Rui put down his wine glass with an angry look and said fiercely.

"I heard that the other party paid a high price. The betrothal gift alone was 5000 taels, not to mention anything else."

Jia Rui sighed, how could he intervene in such a thing?

Xue Baochai saw that Jia Rui wanted to help Jia Yingchun, so he quickly said: "Since the other party is an unknown person, why don't we find a suitable one."

When Jia Rui heard that this was a solution, after all, Jia Yingchun was not engaged yet, but the news had just come out. If he recommended someone that Jia She could not refuse, wouldn't Jia Yingchun jump out of the sea of ​​misery?

"Do you have any suitable candidates?"

Xue Baochai smiled slightly, then leaned into Jia Rui's ear and said softly: "What do you think of Zhou Lang?"
