Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 376 Making things difficult

Jia Rui didn't care about Xue Baoqin's random thoughts, he pulled the two people into Xue Baochai's room.

When I entered the door, I saw Xue Baochai and Ying'er sitting there settling accounts!

Seeing this scene, Jia Rui glanced at Brother Ying aside and felt angry at her lack of progress.

Look at Ying'er, she has become half of Xue Baochai's family, and even manages many shops. Look at you, you know how to play every day but can't do anything.

Brother Ying lowered her head guiltily, but soon she raised her head proudly and glanced at Jia Rui, which meant: I am busy with something, and I am no worse than Ying'er.

Jia Rui had nothing to do with this spoiled little girl. Fortunately, Jia Rui didn't have high expectations for her, so he had to let her go.

Xue Baochai, who noticed Jia Rui entering the room, had already put down the account book in his hand, stood up, and came over to change Jia Rui's clothes.

Ying'er also hurried over to help.

Qingwen was left there all of a sudden, and no one paid attention to her, which made Qingwen feel a little uneasy.

After Jia Rui changed into his daily clothes and sat on the Taishi chair, Xue Baochai also sent the hot tea to Jia Rui's hands. Only then did Jia Rui begin to introduce Qingwen to Xue Baochai.

"This is Qingwen from the Rongguo Mansion. She was kicked out and had no place to live. I looked pitiful so I took over the room. Please make arrangements for her and don't wrong her." Jia Rui said with a hint of embarrassment in his tone.

Xue Baochai already had a thorough understanding of Jia Rui's lustful nature, so he was not surprised that he brought back a woman. The only thing that felt wrong was that this person had a different identity.

Qingwen used to work as a maid for Jia Baoyu, and now she is with Jia Rui. If someone who gossips says this, it will not be a pleasant thing to say.

But now that raw rice has become cooked rice, Xue Baochai can't change it.

However, Xue Baochai was still a little dissatisfied, thinking that Qingwen had seduced Jia Rui.

Because of this idea, Xue Baochai was very indifferent to Qingwen.

"There is also a yard in the garden, let Aunt Qingwen live there!"

After saying this, Xue Baochai stopped paying attention to Qingwen.

There was a hint of regret in Qingwen's eyes as she stood there.

She originally just wanted to take revenge on Jia Baoyu, but she didn't expect to be involved in a fight between wealthy wives and concubines.

You know, once you enter a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea, and Xiao Lang is a passerby from then on.

Just when Qingwen was worrying about gains and losses, Ying'er had already ordered the little maid to help Qingwen down.

After Qingwen left, Xue Baochai also asked Xue Baoqin to go back and rest quickly. She had been playing all day.

When only the couple were left in the room, Xue Baochai said in a low voice: "Master Hou, what will you do if these talkative people spread gossip?"

Xue Baochai's tone sounded like he hated iron.

Jia Rui touched his nose nonchalantly and said, "What's the point of a few gossips? Can I still lose a piece of flesh? Besides, I have too many lice but it's not itchy."

Xue Baochai saw Jia Rui's rogue appearance and had no choice.

Now she can only hope that the rumors outside are not too dirty.

"Has it been a month since Baoyu's side?" Jia Rui changed the subject.

Xue Baochai rolled her eyes at Jia Rui, and then said, "Isn't that true? I haven't gone to school yet, but my husband has already urged me to come here."

Jia Rui frowned, "Didn't he just take seven days off? Why did he stay at home for so long?"

"The old lady sent someone to send a message to Mr. Baoyu, asking Baoyu to rest for a few more days."

Jia Rui stamped his foot angrily, "I knew this man couldn't be raised by an old lady. If he continues to be pampered like this, Baoyu will be useless in the future."

Jia Rui looked anxious and stamped his feet, but actually there was a smile on his face.

Xue Baochai's face was also very happy, "If we let Baoyu live in our house for a while, there shouldn't be any objection from the other side, right?"

"Objection? Why should she object? Look at how she has spoiled Baoyu. If this continues, Baoyu will never be able to achieve anything in his life. Am I helping their family?"

Jia Rui took the tea and took a sip, and then said to Xue Baochai: "The two of us will go to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow and let Baoyu and his wife live with us for a while. When Baoyu makes progress and gains fame, we can go back."

Xue Baochai smiled and nodded: "Then let Baoyu and his wife live in Daiyu's original house?"

Jia Rui thought for a moment and felt that this was inappropriate.

Jia Baoyu is a person who is used to causing trouble, and there are so many beautiful aunts in his own yard. If he wants Jia Baoyu to get his hands on her, he should throw her face into the mud.

"He wants to study, not enjoy himself. Why should he live in the back? Arrange a yard for him in the front." Jia Rui said angrily.

Xue Baochai immediately realized that she had made a mistake just now. She blinked and said with a smile: "The front is just close to the study, so it is convenient for Baoyu to study."

Jia Rui nodded and said: "We might as well arrange Baoyu next to Mr.'s yard so that Mr. Baoyu can teach Baoyu day and night."

Xue Baochai opened his mouth, and the miserable days of Jia Baoyu's future appeared in front of his eyes.

The teacher of the private school was treated favorably by Jia Rui, and promised that as long as one person was admitted as a scholar, he would immediately be released as a county magistrate.

Therefore, it can be said that he worked very hard in the private school during this period. Unfortunately, these boys in Jia's private school are not talented. Mr. Sun is now having a very headache.

The reason why Mr. Sun attaches great importance to Jia Baoyu is because he sees that Jia Baoyu has extraordinary qualifications. If he pays a little attention, he will not only be a scholar, but also a scholar. Now that Jia Rui has sent Jia Baoyu to him, can Mr. Sun let Jia Baoyu go? He must have been staring at Jia Baoyu day and night.

After the couple chatted about daily affairs for a while, they began to prepare for the evening. After Jia Rui had dinner, he went to Mrs. Jia Dairu Wang's place to say hello, and then they strolled back to their backyard.

After arriving in the yard, Jia Rui scratched his head, wondering who he should sleep with today.

In the end, Qingwen's figure appeared in front of Jia Rui's eyes. After all, she was the woman he just got today, and she couldn't be left alone in the empty room.

As for the promise to Xue Baoqin, Jia Rui forgot again.

So Jia Rui hummed a tune and strolled to a yard near the garden.

This yard is quite large, and Jia Rui had previously planned to use it as his own study room, so that he could read and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the garden.

But then Jia Rui forgot about it. After all, he was not the material for reading.

So many years have passed, and Jia Rui's small study is still close to Xue Baochai's yard.

This time Xue Baochai hated Qingwen and directly arranged her to the farthest place from the main courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, I heard Qingwen's voice directing the little maid in the house.

"Put the bottle at the edge of the table, and the screen must be blocking the bedroom door."

"Tell me, do you know how to work? The cloth is dirty, why are you cleaning the table?"

Jia Rui shook his head. Even if Qingwen was frustrated, her energy would not disappear.

He pretended to cough before stepping into the room.

The little maid who was cleaning up the room saw Jia Rui coming in, and immediately bowed and saluted Jia Rui.

Qingwen also said a little blessing.

Jia Rui glanced around and found that the maids in Qingwen's house were of very good quality.

Then he looked up and saw Qingwen's angry expression, and he understood what was going on.

It seems that Xue Baochai is specifically looking for trouble for Qingwen!

However, Jia Rui is not prepared to participate in this kind of thing. Xue Baochai manages the back house. If he participates too much, Xue Baochai's authority will be affected, and the back house will be difficult to manage in the future.

Therefore, as if Jia Rui didn't see it, he walked directly to Qingwen and stretched out his arms, asking Qingwen to change his clothes.

Qingwen was used to serving others, so the process of changing Jia Rui's clothes was very smooth. Even Ying'er in Xue Baochai's room was not as skilled as her.

A trace of jealousy arose in Jia Rui's heart, knowing that it was Jia Baoyu who was served by Qingwen before.

"Let someone from outside bring dinner over!" Jia Rui ordered.

The little maid immediately went out to deliver the message.

Afterwards, Jia Rui retreated to the others in the room.

When only Jia Rui and Qingwen were left in the room, Jia Rui hugged Qingwen fiercely and threw her on the bed. In the end, he just ignored her.

Jia Rui was venting his jealousy.

…………

The next day it was bright and Jia Rui woke up from Qingwen's arms.

Jia Rui still has a headache because he had too much wine last night.

Qingwen, who was next to Jia Rui, quickly stood up, helped Jia Rui rub his head, and complained: "I told you yesterday, eat less, eat less, but you just didn't listen."

Listening to Qingwen's complaints, Jia Rui felt happy.

Qingwen finally started to care about herself now, unlike before, she just used herself as a tool to get revenge on Jia Baoyu.

Therefore, Jia Rui not only did not refute Qingwen's complaints, but instead nodded repeatedly, patting his chest and promising not to drink so much in the future.

Next, Qingwen personally served Jia Rui to wash up. When they were all dressed up, a little maid came in from outside, and then asked Qingwen carefully,

"Auntie, Madam, the people from your place came to greet me. Where are you having dinner?"

Jia Rui was too lazy to run, and was about to say that he would eat here. Suddenly he paused, then glanced at Qingwen, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Tell them, I am going to Madam's place to have breakfast."

The little maid quickly retreated.

Jia Rui touched Qingwen's smooth face and said, "I'll kowtow to Madam later and give her a cup of tea."

Qingwen nodded and said nothing.

After cleaning up, the two people left the small courtyard together, and then walked around in the car for about a stick of incense before turning to Xue Baochai's courtyard in front.

After entering the door, I found that Xue Baochai's yard was different today. The maids who used to play around were now standing seriously on both sides of the road, like soldiers waiting for review.
