Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 324
After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, Jia Rui's face turned livid, and anger rose in his heart.

Good guy, your nephew made a mistake in his medical treatment. The patient not only did not recover, but also got worse. Now you are helpless and want to cover up the past. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

At this point, Jia Rui wanted to scold him, but fortunately Xue Baochai beside him gently tugged on Jia Rui's sleeve.

Jia Rui got Xue Baochai's reminder and temporarily suppressed his anger.

"Old sir, if you want to save my miserable sister no matter what, just tell me what medicine you need. Even if it's not available elsewhere, I can get it from the palace."

Mr. Wang had just noticed that Jia Rui's expression had changed. Although his tone was flattering, there was a murderous intent in his tone.

Mr. Wang was so frightened that he regretted a little now. Why did he come out just now?If I had known earlier I would have hid.

But there's no point regretting it now, as I still have to wipe the butt of that useless nephew.

Mr. Wang really started to think hard this time, thinking through the medical prescriptions he had thought of and the pharmacopoeia of his predecessors from beginning to end.

Finally, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I have an ancient recipe here that you can try."

"Then old gentleman, hurry up and prescribe a prescription." Jia Rui finally had a smile on his face.

Xue Baochai personally prepared the Four Treasures of the Study, and then invited Mr. Wang to sit at the table.

Dr. Wang picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, then scribbled a few dots on the paper and wrote a prescription.

After filling out the prescription, Mr. Wang personally held the prescription in his hands and delivered it to Jia Rui.

Jia Rui took the prescription and looked at it. He knew every word on it, but when they were put together, he didn't know what it meant.

In the end, Jia Rui pretended to be very satisfied and delivered it to Xue Baochai in order not to let his timidity slip.

Xue Baochai took the prescription and looked at it carefully, only to see clearly written on it: raw rehmannia glutinosa, cooked rehmannia glutinosa, astragalus, dangshen, wolfberry, schisandra chinensis, yam, salvia, angelica, platycodon, pinellia, Sichuan clamshell, fried aster, Stir-fried honeysuckle, perilla seeds, Atractylodes, Magnolia officinalis, radish seeds, Poria, and licorice, half a penny each, decoct and take twice a day.

After reading it, Xue Baochai was very impressed.

Xue Baochai was different from Jia Rui. Xue Baochai had been diagnosed with fire disease from her mother's womb when she was young. However, she had to rely on a strange person to send her overseas, and then she was able to suppress it.

Because of this, Xue Baochai has also read several medical books. Although he cannot be said to be proficient in medical skills, he can still distinguish good from bad.

Although many of these prescriptions are ordinary medicines, they are used very wonderfully by Jun, Chen and Zufu. Most people cannot think of such a combination.

When Jia Rui saw Xue Baochai nodding, he smiled and asked Mr. Wang to rest in front.

Mr. Wang didn't have the nerve to stay here, so he quickly handed him over and said that he had something to do at home and wanted to leave.

When Jia Rui saw that he was leaving, he decided not to stop him and gave him a thick red envelope when he left.

Mrs. Wang was determined not to accept this red envelope.

Jia Rui forced himself several times in a row. Seeing that Dr. Wang was determined, he stopped trying, but still sent Dr. Wang out of the house.

Jia Rui saw off the old doctor Wang and hurried back to Lin Daiyu's yard. When he saw this, Xue Baochai had already taken the medicine back and was instructing the maid below to boil the medicine there.

Jia Rui walked over. Xue Baochai's eyes flashed, and then he asked nonchalantly: "Did you send Dr. Wang away?"

Jia Rui nodded, and then said: "Let Daiyu stay with us for a while. When she is completely recovered, it will not be too late to return to Rongguo Mansion."

Xue Baochai originally wanted to nod in agreement, but as if something happened, he lowered his head and pretended not to hear.

Jia Rui was a little strange.

However, he believed that Xue Baochai sometimes considered things more comprehensively than he did, so he did not ask about it on the spot. Instead, the topic changed and he asked about Lin Daiyu's diet, which was regarded as a departure from the topic.

In the evening, after Jia Rui had dinner, the couple sat in the room and chatted. Only then did Jia Rui ask his doubts.

"I asked Daiyu to stay with us for a while. Why didn't you answer me then?" Jia Rui approached Xue Baochai and asked curiously.

There was a trace of pity in Xue Baochai's eyes, but soon they became clear.

"Sister Daiyu is so seriously ill, and Mrs. Wang's medicine may not be able to completely cure her. If Daiyu disappears from our house, how can we explain to the old lady!" Xue Baochai expressed his concerns.

After Jia Rui heard this, he understood why Xue Baochai didn't agree to him right away.

At that time, they were talking in Lin Daiyu's yard, where people were coming and going, and maids were making medicine there. If Xue Baochai's words reached Lin Daiyu's ears, Lin Daiyu would have left immediately no matter how sick she was. Dingxi Houfu.

Jia Rui hugged Xue Baochai in his arms, and then said: "Daiyu, this girl is so heartbreaking, we can't ignore her. Besides, even if Daiyu is gone from us, Rongguo Mansion can take it again." What should we do?"

Jia Rui still has this kind of confidence. Although Jia Zheng is now the governor of Hainan, his official position was obtained by Jia Rui. As long as Jia Rui says a word, Jia Zheng can be dismissed immediately.After hearing this, Xue Baochai could only nod. Although she didn't want her family to get into such trouble, since her husband had made a decision, she had to fully support it.

Jia Rui thought for a moment and then said, "Let the mother-in-law come and stay for a while."

"How can she have time? My sister-in-law is finally pregnant. She is busy every day and cannot leave my sister-in-law for a moment." Xue Baochai said softly while lying in Jia Rui's arms with her eyes closed.

"Hey, I can only feel sorry for my sister-in-law. I didn't ask her to come to see you, but to comfort Daiyu." Jia Rui looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xue Baochai is such a smart person. Jia Rui just raised her head and she understood what Jia Rui meant.

This is because he wants his mother to show maternal love and be tolerant and caring to Daiyu when she is at her weakest.

"Okay then, I will pick up mother tomorrow."

"Haha, if the mother-in-law doesn't care about my sister-in-law, she might as well take her over. It just so happens that the whole family is reunited here." Jia Rui said with a smile.

Xue Baochai thought this was a good idea.

"Well, I will order people to clean up some yards for them now." Xue Baochai broke away from Jia Rui's arms and hurried out.

Jia Rui sat on the bed alone, dumbfounded.

In the end, I waited for Xue Baochai in the house for a long time, but she didn't come back, so I had to stand up and go to Aunt Zhen's yard.

The next day Jia Rui came back from the cabinet. As soon as he entered Xue Baochai's yard, he heard a burst of laughter inside.

Jia Rui smiled and was about to enter the door when a black shadow came out.

Fortunately, Jia Rui's kung fu was good and he dodged to the side, so he didn't collide with the black shadow.

Another look revealed that the dark shadow was none other than Xue Pan.

"You're almost a father, and you're still so careless. Tell me what you look like." Jia Rui began to scold him unceremoniously.

In front of Jia Rui, Xue Pan was like a child who had made a mistake facing his teacher, standing there with his head lowered, not daring to make any rebuttal.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"What else can happen? It was your precious wife who beat me out." Seeing that he finally had a chance to speak, Xue Pan angrily complained to Jia Rui.

"Baochai beat you out? It's impossible, right?" In Jia Rui's mind, Xue Baochai has always been a good wife and mother, gentle and elegant. How could she do such a thing?
"Humph, she was just pretending in front of you. You don't know how fierce she was just now. If I hadn't run so fast, the inkstone would have hit me on the head." Xue Pan said angrily.

"Then you must have offended her, otherwise my Baochai is the most reasonable and would never do anything to beat anyone." Jia Rui defended Xue Baochai.

"Huh! How unreasonable is that? I just pinched Jia Xuan's nose, and she beat me out. She thought I was her brother."

Jia Rui's eyes lit up when he heard that his precious son was back?

Don't tell me, during the two days that Jia Xuan stayed at Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, Jia Rui really missed him.

Now Jia Rui finally understands why Xue Baochai beat Xue Pan. His son has been away for several days and finally returned to his mother. He was also "bullied" by his uncle. If not, who would you beat?
Jia Rui touched his nose, and then said: "You can't blame her. Do you know how fierce the tigress is when protecting her cubs? I have to be beaten, let alone you."

After hearing Jia Rui's words, Xue Pan looked at Jia Rui with a trace of pity in his eyes.

"What's that look in your eyes? Let me tell you, at home, I say the same thing. Baochai has to ask me for permission before doing anything." Jia Rui quickly defended his reputation.

But Xue Pan's pity eyes did not weaken. Instead, he walked forward, patted Jia Rui's shoulder gently, and then sighed and said: "Brother-in-law, please don't explain. It's not wrong for men to be afraid of their wives. It’s a good habit.”

After Xue Pan finished speaking, he felt that Jia Rui and he were in the same boat.

Jia Rui was helpless by Xue Pan's troubles. He angrily shook his sleeves, left Xue Pan and entered the room.

After entering, I saw Aunt Xue playing with Jia Xuan in her arms!
Xue Baochai and her sister-in-law Cheng Ying were whispering homely words there.

Since when did the two sisters have such a good relationship?
Jia Ruike heard Xue Baochai complain more than once that Cheng Ying was not good enough for her brother.

Because Cheng Ying had not been pregnant for a long time, Xue Baochai even sent Xiang Ling, who had come to serve Xue Baoqin, back to Xue Pan.

Jia Rui entered the room and saw that others ignored him. He could only cough to show his presence to them.

Hearing Jia Rui's cough, Xue Baochai raised her eyes to look at him, then smiled and ordered Ying'er to take Jia Rui to the back to change clothes.
