Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 329 Arrangements for Jia Baoyu

From this day on, Jia Baoyu's life turned upside down.

There was no need for the maid to call him every morning. He would wake up by himself as soon as one o'clock arrived, get dressed and eat in a hurry, and then rush to school.

Mainly because Jia Baoyu was afraid of being beaten.

Since Jia Rui reorganized the private school, Jia Baoyu was beaten almost every day in the past few days.

Sometimes Jia's mother couldn't stand it and wanted to ask for leave on Jia Baoyu's behalf. As a result, Mr. Sun from the private school didn't care at all. As soon as Jia Baoyu didn't come, he immediately sent the soldiers Jia Rui had left in the private school. VIP.

At the beginning, the soldiers did not dare to break into the back, so Jia Baoyu thought he could escape.

But for some reason, the soldiers later became bolder, broke into the back house, picked up Jia Baoyu from the bed, and then dragged her to the private school and beat her ten times.

From then on, Jia Baoyu never dared to skip school.

Although Rongqingtang's Jia Mu scolded Jia Rui, she was still very happy in her heart. Her phoenix egg was finally put on a halter.

Moreover, through inquiring, she learned that Jia Baoyu was still very good in the private school. Every time Mr. Sun took the exam, Jia Baoyu was among the top.

If things continue like this, their Baoyu will also be able to gain fame.

Therefore, although Jia Mu complained about the private school and Jia Rui, she secretly asked Yuanyang to send an extra ten taels of silver to the private school every month.

And Jia Rui also went to the private school for inspections every now and then.

This made the little guys in the private school completely stop resisting and study with Mr. Sun honestly.

After this rectification, the atmosphere in the private school has also improved, and there are really a few in the Jia family who study hard.

If this continues, in a few years their family will have more talented people.

Jia Rui took care of the private school affairs and finally remembered the sisters living in their home.

Therefore, when I came back from the cabinet and had lunch at home, I casually asked Xue Baochai:
"How is Daiyu's health?"

Xue Baochai poured Jia Rui a glass of wine and said, "There has been improvement."

Jia Rui felt better after hearing this.

This girl Lin Daiyu is really heartbreaking. If she dies inexplicably like in Dream of Red Mansions, then Jia Rui's time travel will be in vain.

"I think the maid next to Daiyu, although she claims to be loyal, is less capable. Send an experienced old lady to her." Jia Rui said while drinking.

Xue Baochai blinked, and she understood what Jia Rui meant, but Xue Baochai thought more deeply.

Did Mrs. Wang handle Daiyu's matter herself, or was there a hint from Jia Mu later?
After all, with Jia's mother's age and control over Jia's house, as well as the capable people around her, it was impossible not to discover that there was something fishy about Lin Daiyu's affairs.

But Jia Mu didn't make any expression, which made people feel a chill in their backs.

If I send an old nanny to follow Lin Daiyu now, wouldn't she be going against Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang?
And what can an old nanny do? If Lin Daiyu returns to Jia's house, there are plenty of ways to make her disappear without a trace.

"Uncle, this is a matter for the Rongguo Mansion. We don't need to get involved so deeply, right?"

After hearing what Xue Baochai said, Jia Rui felt a little angry at first, but soon he looked at Xue Baochai with appreciation.

Xue Baochai's words sounded ruthless, but they were all for the consideration of Dingxihou Mansion.

Jia Rui sighed, and then said: "Daiyu, this girl is so pitiful, and I did something wrong back then. If I didn't bring her and Baoyu together, I can just find a capable general below to make this happen." Things passed smoothly.”

To be honest, Jia Rui feels a little regretful now.

Although Jia Rui still admires Jia Baoyu, at least he doesn't have any bad intentions.

But the people around Jia Baoyu are all human beings. A group of them work together to deal with Lin Daiyu. Even though Lin Daiyu has a delicate heart, she can't resist the hidden arrows from all directions.

Jia Rui knocked on the table with his hand and thought for a while with his eyes closed. Suddenly his eyes lit up.

If that doesn't work, let Jia Baoyu and Rong Guofu separate their families, and then let Jia Baoyu go out and live on his own.

At that time, Lin Daiyu should be able to feel happier when she leaves that nest of right and wrong.

"What do you think about letting Baoyu and Rongguofu separate their families?" Jia Rui asked excitedly.

"How is this possible?" Xue Baochai was stunned at first, and then almost stopped laughing.

Considering how much Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang cherished Jia Baoyu, how could they let Jia Baoyu out of their sight?

But Jia Rui didn't think so.

Jia Baoyu is right, he is the darling of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. They want to leave Rongguo Mansion to Jia Baoyu.

But what are the actual conditions? It's Jia Lian who already has a child.

After all, Rongguo Mansion belongs to Jia She's branch. As long as Jia Lian has offspring, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang have no reason to force the title to Jia Baoyu.

What's more, even Jia Zheng's second wife, Jia Baoyu, is not the best heir.

Because there is also a Jialan above. Although Jia Zhu is dead, Jia Lan is the eldest grandson.

With this status, as long as there is support behind him, Jia Lan's chances of inheriting the second house are no worse than Jia Baoyu's.

Jia Rui told Xue Baochai his thoughts and asked for her opinion.

Xue Baochai thought for a moment and felt that this plan could be implemented if Jia Rui was behind him.

But in this case, Jia Baoyu would suffer.

"If this is the case, then Baoyu will suffer a loss." Xue Baochai expressed his thoughts.

It turns out that Xue Baochai still thinks that Jia Baoyu is closer to him psychologically. As for Li Zhi and Jia Lan, they can only be regarded as ordinary relatives.

Jia Rui looked at Xue Baochai disdainfully, and then analyzed it for him.

"You see, it's impossible for Jia Mu's property to be given to Jia Lan. In the end, it's not going to be left to Baoyu."

Xue Baochai nodded, and she also understood that since Jia Mu's property would be left to Jia Baoyu, then Mrs. Wang's property would be left to Jia Baoyu even more.

In the end, what Jia Lan was able to get was the public property that he got when the first and second houses were separated.

But at this time, the Rongguo Mansion had begun to decline. How much could Jia Lan get?
On the contrary, Jia Baoyu owns all of Jia Mu's private house, as well as the property accumulated by Mrs. Wang over the years, plus Lin Daiyu's hundreds of thousands of furniture, which adds up to at least one million taels.

With so much money, no matter how hard Jia Baoyu worked, he could still be happy, prosperous and wealthy in this life.

Based on Jia Baoyu's feelings for Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu will never let Lin Daiyu be wronged in this life. Maybe the two of them will have some emotional conflicts, but in the end it will all end with Jia Baoyu lying on the ground and making a small apology.

Xue Baochai also smiled, and then said: "Uncle, you are still thoughtful."

"Then let's work together and try to get Jia Baoyu to separate the family as soon as possible." Jia Rui said with a smile, hugging Xue Baochai.

When they were talking about Jia Baoyu's right and wrong, Jia Baoyu finally finished his day's study, then turned around and went straight to Jia Rui's Dingxihou Mansion.

Although Jia Baoyu hated meeting Jia Rui very much, who asked Sister Lin to live in Jia Rui now? In order to see Sister Lin, Jia Baoyu could only temporarily tolerate Jia Rui's disgusting face.

"Uncle, Second Master Bao has arrived at the second gate." Brother Ying came over to report.

Jia Rui and Xue Baochai looked at each other, and they both understood what Jia Baoyu was here for.

Jia Rui didn't intend to be a bad person, so he directly ordered Brother Ying, "You can take Baoyu and go directly to Sister Lin's place, but you should keep an eye on the side and don't let Baoyu make Sister Lin sad."

"I know." Brother Ying immediately jumped out after hearing this.

When she came to the second door, she saw Jia Baoyu being stopped by two boys and jumping around anxiously.

Jia Baoyu also didn't regard himself as an outsider. When he came to the second door, he rushed in. If the two old ladies who were looking after the door hadn't called the boy, Jia Baoyu might have broken in.

Just when Jia Baoyu was about to jump anxiously, he finally saw Brother Ying coming.

"Brother Ying, take me in quickly."

Brother Ying walked up to Jia Baoyu with a smile, gave him a blessing, and then said, "How come Mr. Bao has time to come to our house?"

After saying this, Brother Ying burst out laughing.

It turns out that Jia Baoyu was in such a miserable state during this period that the entire Jia family knew about it.

Jia Baoyu smiled awkwardly, and then immediately put the embarrassment behind him, "Brother Ying, you're here just in time. Take me in quickly. I haven't seen Sister Lin for a long time."

Brother Ying smiled and nodded, then waved to the two boys, who then let go of Jia Baoyu.

"Second Master Bao, please come with me."

After saying this, Brother Ying turned around and led the way, and Jia Baoyu quickly followed.

The two of them walked through the building and through the courtyard, and finally came to a small courtyard after walking for a stick of incense.

This was Jia Baoyu's first time here, so he looked carefully at this place.

All I saw was that this small courtyard was elegant and delicate, as if it were a painting that had been caressed by time. Surrounding the courtyard are green stone paths and lush greenery, with towering ancient trees casting mottled shadows. The red walls, green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, every part of it shows the traces of time and tells stories of the past.

This building was specially built by Jia Rui in imitation of the ancient times. Because Lin Daiyu was elegant, Jia Rui specially gave this precious courtyard to Lin Daiyu to live in.

Then Jia Baoyu followed Brother Ying into the outer room.

The furnishings in the house are simple, with bamboo slips, porcelain, and guqin, creating an antique scene. The sunlight shines through the window lattice and onto the bluestone slab, reflecting spots of light, making it quiet and warm. It is so poetic and picturesque that it is so beautiful that you will be fascinated by it.

Jia Baoyu knew that Jia Rui's house was all newly built, but it seemed that it took some effort to make this small courtyard so antique. It seemed that Brother Rui spent a lot of money.

Just as Jia Baoyu was looking at the furnishings in the room, Zijuan walked out.

She and Brother Ying, who was walking in front, looked at each other and then said nothing.

"I brought you the person, but you have to be careful and don't be fooled." Brother Ying said with a wink.
