Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 377 Important Person

Jia Rui's face was a little gloomy. He glanced around unhappily, and then waved his hand fiercely.

The maids, who were originally very serious, were frightened when they saw Jia Rui's actions, and they immediately dispersed.

Jia Rui was unhappy. Xue Baochai was not feeling well today. He had married so many aunts, but none of them were as big as today. This was obviously a sign of power to Qingwen.

If after a while, Xue Baochai tormented Qingwen, Jia Rui would not interfere as long as it was not excessive.

But today is the first day that Qingwen comes to kowtow to Xue Baochai and serve tea. Xue Baochai does this, not only embarrassing Qingwen, but also embarrassing herself.

Qingwen, who was standing next to Jia Rui, had a very uneasy face at this time. She grabbed her sleeves and hesitated.

Jia Rui patted Qingwen's hand to comfort her, and then walked towards the main room.

As soon as he entered the door, Jia Rui was stunned.

It turns out that the person sitting in the middle is not Xue Baochai, but Jia Rui's grandmother, Mrs. Wang.

Now Mrs. Wang's face is very ugly, her face is sullen as if she is about to explode at any moment.

As for Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin, they stood beside Mrs. Wang like an honest quail, without even a seat.

Seeing this posture, Jia Rui finally understood why the maids outside were in that posture just now. This was because the old lady was dissatisfied with herself and wanted to show her authority!

If it were anyone else, Jia Rui wouldn't give a shit about him, you would be Jia's mother in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Rui should just ignore it and not take it seriously.

But the only people Jia Rui is afraid of now are Mrs. Wang and Mr. Jia Dairu.

Seeing his ancestor sitting in the middle, Jia Rui quickly winked at Qingwen next to him and told her to be smarter.

Then Jia Rui took a few steps forward, smiled and saluted Mrs. Wang, "Old lady, why do you have the time to come here so early today?"

The old lady didn't even look at Jia Rui, just letting him hunched over and unable to straighten his back.

Mrs. Wang stopped her eyes on Qingwen.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang was also a little surprised.

No wonder Jia Rui ignored etiquette and took Qingwen into his room. It turned out that Qingwen looked so charming.

Although she is beautiful, there is a hint of stubbornness in her eyes. It is this stubbornness that suppresses the coquettishness in her color.

Therefore, on the whole, Qingwen looks beautiful and dignified, with a hint of unwillingness to admit defeat.

Mrs. Wang's expression softened a little.

She understood her grandson. Jia Rui had been tightly restrained by her husband Jia Dairu in the past few years. Now that he was finally free, he could no longer hold back. Beautiful girls were carried home one after another.

Fortunately, the grandson had the final bottom line, and the people who brought him back were relatively decent, and not those who were unreasonable.

As for Qingwen, Mrs. Wang heard about it yesterday. After learning about Qingwen's origin, she thought that Qingwen had a bad character as she moved back and forth between the two brothers, so she planned to give Qingwen a slap in the face today.

But when I met him today, I realized the misunderstanding of the rumors.

If nothing else, the stubbornness shown in Qingwen's eyes means she is definitely not a person who is restless.

Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Jia Rui to stand up angrily.

Jia Rui straightened up, licked his face and came to Mrs. Wang's side, "Old lady, are you here to see your grandson's new aunt?"

Mrs. Wang gently hit Jia Rui, and then said with a smile: "I thought you married a shabby person. Only when I saw her did I realize that although this girl looks stubborn, she is absolutely He is a clean person."

After speaking, he waved to Qingwen.

Qingwen quickly walked over with her head lowered, then knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang quickly asked her maid to help Qingwen up, then pulled her to her side and looked at her carefully again.

She saw that although Qingwen was standing there, her body was always a little awkward, and she had a smile on her face as she was someone who had been here before.

Seeing Qingwen's well-behaved appearance again, Mrs. Wang nodded with satisfaction, then raised her head and said to Jia Rui:

"There are already a lot of people in your house, so treat these good girls well."

Jia Rui nodded and bowed repeatedly, "Don't worry, old lady, I know what to do, grandson."

"You know what to do? Stop bluffing, I think you should know how to find a girl."

Jia Rui was embarrassed by Mrs. Wang's words and stood there a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Wang couldn't let her grandson lose face, so he chatted a few more common things and left.

After Mrs. Wang left, Jia Rui breathed a sigh of relief, then wiped the cold sweat from his head and sat down on the chair where Mrs. Wang had been sitting.

Xue Baochai, who had been silent, quickly poured a cup of tea and put it into Jia Rui's hand.

Jia Rui took the tea and drank it in one gulp.

"It really scared me to death."

"If you didn't do anything wrong, would you be afraid?" Xue Baochai asked Jia Rui. Jia Rui felt a little unhappy. He was also the chief minister after all, so what happened to finding a woman?

Xue Baochai is so clever! As soon as he saw Jia Rui's expression changed, he immediately changed the subject.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's do something quickly so that we can go to Rongguo Mansion to pick up Daiyu."

Jia Rui then calmed down his anger and asked Xue Baochai to sit next to him.

The maid below immediately brought a cup of tea very wisely and delivered it to Qingwen.

Qingwen's eyes were a little dim, she took the tea and slowly knelt down on the ground, "Madam, please have tea."

Xue Baochai did not take the tea cup immediately, but paused for a moment, then took it and took a sip, then handed it to Ying'er next to her.

"Now that you have entered our Dingxihou Mansion, you must live an honest life in the future. Don't think about the things you have and don't have. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to protect you." Xue Baochai said pointedly.

Qingwen nodded lightly and said in a calm tone: "When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, follow the dog. Now that I have entered the Dingxihou Mansion, I will be a member of the Dingxihou Mansion when I am born, and a ghost of the Dingxihou Mansion when I die."

Xue Baochai was then satisfied, "Okay, we are all sisters, stop kneeling all the time, get up."

With Xue Baochai's words, a little maid next to her stepped forward to help Qingwen up.

When Jia Rui saw that the discussion was over, he yawned and then said, "Okay, it's done. It's time for us to go to Rongguo Mansion."

After saying this, he stood up and walked out.

Xue Baochai also quickly stood up and followed Jia Rui out of the main room.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Xue Baoqin blinked, said hello to Qingwen, and turned around to leave. She was looking for Zhen Wanfang.

Among Jia Rui's concubines, Xue Baoqin and Zhen Wanfang have the best relationship. Maybe they are both talented and learned, so they can talk together.

Qingwen, who was left hanging in the house, sighed helplessly, turned around, left the main house and returned to her yard.

After coming back, Qingwen sat in her room and looked at the gorgeously decorated house. Qingwen didn't feel any joy at all.

To be honest, Qingwen feels a little regretful now.

She was too impulsive yesterday. She should have thought about this life-long event for two days. She should not have given her body to Jia Rui with just a few words from her sister-in-law.

But there is no use thinking about it now. He has given his body to Jia Rui and has entered the Dingxi Marquis Mansion, so he has to live with Jia Rui wholeheartedly.

After thinking of this, Qingwen let out a long breath, and then ordered the maid beside her, "Go and take out the mattress from my package and let it dry in the yard."

The little maid agreed and immediately went out to do things.

Soon, a mattress that was a bit old, but fairly clean, was hung out to dry in the yard.

The only thing that stood out was a red peach blossom in the middle of the mattress.

The maids passing by this mattress couldn't help but glance at the peach blossoms, and then there was a smile on their faces.

You must know that other aunts may not care about this peach blossom, but Aunt Qingwen, who has a somewhat strange identity, cares about this peach blossom very much.

She wanted to show off this peach blossom today and let everyone in the Dingxihou Mansion know that she, Qingwen, had emerged from the filth without staining, and she had brought a clean body into the Dingxihou Mansion.

Besides, Jia Rui and Xue Baochai left Dingxihou Mansion in a carriage and then entered Rongguo Mansion.

After coming in, a maid took her to the old lady's Rongqing Hall.

After coming in, Jia Rui immediately smiled and congratulated Jia's mother: "Congratulations, old lady, on getting a lovely daughter-in-law. You will have great blessings in the future."

Mother Jia smiled so hard she couldn't close her mouth, "You're still a monkey who can talk."

Then he asked Yuanyang to quickly move the seats and let Jia Rui and Xue Baochai sit next to him.

After sitting down, Jia Rui held the tea bowl personally delivered by Yuanyang and asked with a smile: "Why are Baoyu and Daiyu missing?"

Yuanyang covered her mouth and said with a chuckle: "Second Master Bao and Second Grandma Bao are reciting poems in the garden, so they don't have time to come over."

Jia Rui shook his head, put down the tea cup, and said to Jia's mother: "Old lady, Baoyu, you are smart and smart, and you are a rare scholar in our family. But look at him now that he is married, and you still don't focus on business. If If this continues, this life will be over.”

After saying this, Jia Rui stared at Jia Mu closely, wanting to see what he could say.

Jia's mother looked a little embarrassed. He thought for a moment and then said: "He just got married these days, so I have relaxed my control over him a little. I will let him go to school in two days."

Jia Rui shook his head and said: "Old lady, Baoyu's character is already a little bent. If he doesn't forcefully change it, he might not be able to focus on his studies."

"Then what should I do according to your instructions?" Jia Mu's face was also a little dull.

"If you want to ask me, just let Baoyu and Daiyu live with me temporarily for a while, and then let him come back when he has achieved fame."

After hearing this, Mother Jia's face became angry, but she still endured it, put down the tea cup in her hand calmly, and then said: "Baoyu has a mother and an father, so there is no reason to live with relatives. I say it's not necessary." trouble."
