Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 522 Inviting people
"Why are you so crazy in the middle of the night?" The old man muttered, but he did not dare to speak too loudly.

Mrs. Wang already knew exactly what her husband was like.

In the past, the old man Jia Dairu naturally said one thing at home. He was the real head of the family.

But as Jia Rui became more prosperous, Mrs. Wang seemed to have strengthened her waist. She could argue with the old man at home, and even sometimes suppressed the old man.

Mr. Jia Dairu really has no good way to deal with his wife now. The main reason is that his grandson is not on his side, so he has to swallow his anger many times.

Over time, Jia Dairu actually formed a habit and became a little henpecked.

"Why don't you sleep? Brother Zheng from the Rongguo Mansion is here. He said he has something important to discuss with you. I heard from the people below that he is very anxious. There should be something really wrong. Please go out and take a look."

While Mrs. Wang was speaking, she pulled Jia Dairu up from the bed, and then ordered the maid to change Mr. Jia Dairu's clothes.

Jia Dairu was a little surprised when he heard that Jia Zheng was coming.

You know, this is the middle of the night, what is Jia Zheng doing here at this time? Could it be that something big happened in Rongguo Mansion?
Then Jia Dairu thought, the old lady of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu, was already old. Could it be that she was gone?

When he thought that Jia's mother might have passed away, Jia Dairu immediately became anxious, and without even having to wait for a few seconds from his maid, he dressed himself and hurried out.

After leaving the courtyard, there were naturally maids waiting for him in front, and then they walked out of the second door with lanterns holding lanterns. Here, there were servants waiting for Jia Dairu.

Jia Dairu hurried to the outer study room. When he entered, he saw that Jia Zheng was not there. He grabbed a boy and asked, only to find out that without him, Jia Zheng would not have been able to get in. Now he was waiting in the concierge to speak.

"You bastard, how long have you been talking about these vulgar etiquettes? Please quickly invite the second master of the housekeeping over."

The boys ran out in a hurry, and soon Jia Zheng was ushered into the outer study.

After Jia Zheng came in, Jia Dairu glanced around and found that Jia Zheng was dressed normally and did not wear mourning clothes.

Seeing this, Jia Dairu breathed a sigh of relief.

"My dear nephew, what's the matter with coming here so late?" After calming down, Jia Dairu immediately put up his airs again and asked calmly while sitting behind the desk.

Jia Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and then said respectfully: "Back to my uncle, my mother has important matters to discuss with my uncle. However, as a woman, it is not convenient for her to pass through the house, so I asked my uncle to come over. "

Jia Dairu frowned, and then asked: "What happened? You are so anxious."

Jia Zheng opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer. If he said this to be respectful to the king, I'm afraid Jia Dairu would immediately refuse to go to Rongguo Mansion with him.

So Jia Zheng could only say vaguely: "My uncle knew it in the past, so it's not convenient to say more here."

Although Jia Dairu is pedantic, he is not a fool. Looking at Jia Zheng like this, he knows that there is something difficult going on.

He sighed, then stood up and said, "In that case, let's get up now."

Jia Zheng hurried forward to help Jia Dairu, and the two of them left the study room together. There was naturally a small sedan outside.

Jia Dairu got on the sedan chair, followed closely by Jia Zheng, who left Wu Guo Mansion and came to the side entrance of Rong Guo Mansion.

The door had already been opened and waiting for Jia Dairu, so a dozen boys hurried forward and surrounded Jia Dairu and Jia Zheng to the second gate of Rongguo Mansion.

When we got here, we put on some strong women and carried Jia Dairu straight to Rongqing Hall. Arriving in front of Rongqing Hall, Jia Dairu got off the sedan chair and was helped into the main hall of Rongqing Hall by Jia Zheng himself.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Jia Mu waiting for him at the door with a smile.

The natural mandarin duck supporting Jia Mu.

"How can I let you come to greet me, old sister-in-law? Come on, come on, sit on the top and I will salute you." Jia Dairu said with a smile on his face.

"Does a whole family need so many gifts? Come on, let's go sit up there together and let the juniors take care of us."

Jia Dairu was not polite and followed Jia Mu to the middle of Rongqing Hall and sat down on both sides.

After that, Yuanyang went forward and knelt down to kowtow to Jia Dairu.

Jia Dairu was a little dazed. Although Yuanyang was a slave, there was no need to kowtow to him alone.

However, Jia Dairu quickly realized that this was a salute to him as his grandson's concubine.

Jia Dairu sighed, his grandson is good at everything, but he is too lustful and lustful. Now his woman can't fit in a house, and he is still flirting with women outside. He doesn't know who taught him.

However, Jia Dairu did not intend to embarrass his grandson's concubine. He smiled and took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Yuanyang.

Yuanyang took the jade pendant with both hands and kowtowed again.

Jia Dairu smiled and held up his hands, Yuanyang dared to stand up, and then stood aside respectfully holding the jade pendant.

At this time, Jia Dairu turned his head to Jia Mu, and then asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what's the important thing for calling me over so late?"

Mother Jia sighed, then pondered for a moment, and then pretended to be embarrassed and said: "You may not know, but something big happened in Beijing just now."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Jia Dairu was a little disapproving.

Jia Dairu naturally knew everything about his own family affairs. The military power in the world was in the hands of his grandson, not to mention that the capital was heavily guarded and there were countless soldiers and horses. What big thing could happen?
"You don't know, Rui Geer just sent people to raid the remaining royal family, especially Prince Gongshun. Almost all of them were killed. Only their princess and the second boy escaped."

When Jia Dairu heard this, he frowned. He had repeatedly told his grandson to leave a lineage to the Supreme Emperor. What's going on? Did you forget what you said in just a few days?

When Jia Dairu frowned, Jia Mu knew something was going on, so she kept saying:

"You are also an old man, and you also know how difficult it was for our family to survive that disaster. At that time, the palace of Gongshun helped a lot, which allowed our family to survive until now."

Jia Dairu glanced at Jia Mu and said nothing more.

"Princess Gongshun and her second son just fled to us for refuge. I think that our Jia family are all one family, so I came to you to discuss whether we can handle this matter?" Jia's mother said meaningfully.

Jia Dairu lowered his head and said nothing.

In fact, he was very conflicted in his heart.

Speaking of this matter, it was his grandson who was a little cruel and did not leave any incense to the Supreme Emperor, which made Jia Dairu feel a little dissatisfied.

But then again, he is a grandfather after all. Naturally, he must fully support whatever his grandson does. How can he undermine his grandson at this time?
