Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 325 Jia Baoyu’s “Suffering”

Jia Rui changed his clothes and came back to salute Aunt Xue first, then found a chair and sat down.

Then Jia Rui winked at Xue Baochai, asking if Xue Baochai had already told Aunt Xue about their considerations.

Xue Baochai nodded slightly.

Jia Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the girls in the Jia family, Lin Daiyu is the most pitiable to her. She had no ability before, but now she has to let this poor girl live.

After dinner that night, Xue Baochai took Aunt Xue to Lin Daiyu's yard.

They kept talking for nearly an hour, and finally only Xue Baochai came back.

"Where is your mother-in-law?"

"I'll stay with Daiyu." When he said this, Xue Baochai was filled with anger.

Jia Rui stepped forward and took Xue Baochai's hand and asked, "Aren't you just sleeping at Daiyu's place for the night? Why are you jealous?"

"Humph, my mother has accepted Daiyu as a girl." Xue Baochai's nose turned up when he said this, and his eyes looked like a dog abandoned by its owner.

Jia Rui almost died from laughter. Baochai, who had always been magnanimous, actually became jealous.

"Okay, okay, isn't this better? You have a sister." Jia Rui said casually.

"Hmph! You can just gloat and see how I deal with you."

As Xue Baochai spoke, he jumped on Jia Rui and bit his neck.

Jia Rui laughed, hugged Xue Baochai tightly, and let her bite randomly.

In fact, Xue Baochai was also playing around with Jia Rui. Although he bit Jia Rui's neck, he didn't exert any force. At most, he could only kiss him.

The couple argued for a while and then rolled on the bed.

The next day, Jia Rui had just had breakfast and was preparing to go to the cabinet. Someone came from outside to report that Jia Baoyu had entered the house.

Jia Rui rubbed his forehead helplessly. He didn't know what to do with Jia Baoyu, a living treasure.

Finally, he said helplessly to Xue Baochai: "Baoyu already knows the personnel affairs. We can't let him wander around in the back house. You send someone to follow him. No matter where he goes, he can't leave our sight. Otherwise, if there is any scandal, I will But I don’t have the shame to meet people.”

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Baoyu has a gentle temperament. Although he said he only hangs out with sisters, it's not as chaotic as you said, right?"

"Humph." Jia Rui sneered.

"I don't know about others. Don't I know about Baoyu? His maid Xiren is no longer a perfect jade. Baoyu must have done it, otherwise she would have been kicked out of the house long ago."

Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "All young masters have this kind of character. Don't worry, I will send two old nuns to follow him closely."

"Okay, Jia Baoyu, I will disappear. You can make arrangements yourself. I have to go to the cabinet as soon as possible." After Jia Rui finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

After Jia Rui left, Xue Baochai rubbed his temples with a headache.

"Brother Ying, find two smarter nuns to follow Baoyu. No matter where he goes, he can't leave our sight."

Brother Ying blinked, and then a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely handle it for you."

After saying that, she jumped and ran out.

Ying'er on the side saw Brother Ying going out, and then she came to Xue Baochai's side and said, "Grandma, why did you let her do things?"

A smile flashed across Xue Baochai's eyes, but she still said seriously: "Although Brother Ying is a little out of touch, she still has a good nature. Besides, she is not familiar with anyone in this house, so let her choose someone." Is it just right?"

"Grandma, you think of her so well." Ying'er wanted to say something more, but Xue Baochai had already stood up and walked out.

In the end, Yinger had no choice but to shut up and followed Xue Baochai to Aunt Xue's room.

As for Jia Baoyu, he directly regarded Dingxihou Mansion as his own home and walked through the second door.

But here, he finally encountered a difficult situation.

It turned out that Brother Ying was already waiting for him here with two stout old ladies.

After seeing Jia Baoyu, Brother Ying showed a wicked smile, then walked over and gave Jia Baoyu a blessing.

"Second Master Bao, you are such a rare visitor."

Jia Baoyu has always had a good temper towards the girls, "Haha, haven't you been able to get enough time? Come and see Sister Bao today if you have time."

Everyone can tell whether what he said is true or false, but Brother Ying did not expose him.

"That's just right. Our in-laws' old lady is here too, so you can go and see her together."

"Aunt Xue is here too? Sister-in-law Cheng Ying should be here too, so I'll go and pay a visit."

As Jia Baoyu spoke, he was about to walk in. Brother Ying flicked his eyes at the two old ladies following him.

The two old ladies understood immediately.

Only the two of them came forward with a smile, and one of them grabbed one of Xu Jia Baoyu's arms, "I have long heard that Mr. Bao is handsome, and today I saw him and he is indeed well-deserved." "Such a handsome young man, Miss Daiyu will be in the future Blessed.”

The two old ladies grabbed Jia Baoyu's hands and started chatting with him.

Jia Baoyu has long been impatient. If it were two pretty and handsome little maids, he could still bear to say a few words, but how could two old ladies fall in love with him.

Therefore, Jia Baoyu didn't even bother to deal with it, so he just wanted to walk away.

But when he wanted to leave, he realized that the hands of the two old women were like iron pliers, grabbing his arms. Jia Baoyu, a grown man, could not push away the two older women.

But Brother Ying stood nearby and snickered.

"Brother Ying, take them away quickly, I have something else to do." Jia Baoyu shouted angrily.

"Second Master Bao, I can't help it. These two nuns have come to our house a long time ago. Even our uncles have to respect me, let alone a little maid." Brother Ying pretended to be helpless on his face, and was snickering in his heart. .

In this way, Jia Baoyu was pestered by the two nuns for half an hour, and finally got away at Brother Ying's signal.

However, despite being freed, the two old ladies still followed Jia Baoyu closely, chatting with him without a word.

Next, Jia Baoyu could only go to Aunt Xue's house in depression. Before he could say a word to Cheng Ying, he was pestered by two old ladies again, and he could only escape from there in embarrassment. .

After coming out, he originally wanted to go to Lin Daiyu to visit his sister Lin, but he was led by Brother Ying to see Mr. Jia Dairu.

This old Mr. Jia used to be the head of a private school. Jia Baoyu was still a little afraid of this old gentleman.

Therefore, after meeting Mr. Jia, he wanted to leave quickly, but Mr. Jia Dairu became interested and began to question Jia Baoyu about his knowledge.

After nearly a year of relaxation, Jia Baoyu had returned all the Four Books and Five Classics he had learned to the teacher. Therefore, when faced with Mr. Jia's questions, he didn't know all the questions, and even if he knew something, he still stammered.

This time, Mrs. Jia was really annoyed.

Mr. Jia knew Jia Baoyu's talent. As long as he put a little effort into studying, it would not be a problem to get a good name.

But I didn't expect that Jia Baoyu would become like this after not going to private school for a long time. If he continued to indulge in this, Jia Baoyu would be useless.

So, Mrs. Jia showed off the same energy that he used to urge Jia Rui to study. He used this cane to order Jia Baoyu to recite a book in his study. .

Jia Baoyu wanted to cry but had no tears.

Come and take a good look at your sisters, why are you like this now?
But facing Mrs. Jia's cane, Jia Baoyu compromised in humiliation.

For the next day, Jia Baoyu didn't go anywhere. He just spent the day in Mrs. Jia's study.

Even at lunch time, I ate with Mr. Jia.

In the afternoon, several articles were finally memorized. Just when Jia Baoyu thought he could leave, Mrs. Jia asked Jia Baoyu to write another eight-part essay.

This time, Jia Baoyu was about to collapse.

Asking him to endorse, Jia Baoyu could barely do it, but asking him to write eight-legged essay, wouldn't it cost his life?
Although he wanted to refuse, after taking a look at the cane in Old Master Jia's hand, Jia Baoyu compromised again.

Although Jia Baoyu is talented and intelligent, he is still a bit numb when it comes to the eight-part essay that he is not good at.

So he lingered for more than an hour and finally handed in his homework after holding the lamp.

Mr. Jia looked at the eight-part essay in his hand and trembled with anger.

What kind of mess is this?

At this level, he wouldn't even be able to pass the examination for a scholar, let alone a scholar.

Originally, Mrs. Jia wanted to let Jia Baoyu continue to revise the eight-part essay overnight, but Mother Jia of Rongguo Mansion didn't see Jia Baoyu for a day, so she finally sent someone over.

Jia Dairu had no choice but to let Jia Baoyu go first.

After Jia Baoyu ran out of Jia Dairu's study, he felt like he was amnesty. Now he is not in the mood to see his sisters. Now Jia Baoyu just wants to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible and never come back again.

But Jia Baoyu didn't know that his nightmare had just begun.

It turned out that after Jia Baoyu left, Jia Dairu became more and more angry as he thought about it. When he was in charge of the private school, although he didn't pay much attention, the people in it could at least learn something. But now looking at Jia Baoyu, it is completely useless.

No, I can't let the private school where I have worked all my life be ruined like this.

So Jia Dairu didn't care about dinner and immediately ordered his servant to call Jia Rui over.

And what is our protagonist Jia Rui doing now?

He was currently eating dinner while listening to Brother Ying's embellished talk about Jia Baoyu's experiences throughout the day.

Jia Rui and Xue Baochai laughed while eating, thinking that Jia Baoyu had finally met someone who could cure him.

Just when Jia Rui was happy, Ying'er came in from outside and came to Jia Rui's side first, "Uncle, the old lady wants you to come over now."

Jia Rui was stunned for a moment, "Did anything happen at home today that made the old man angry?"

"No! Everything is calm except for Baoyu's matter." Ying'er tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said.
