Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 547 Homely Things

Jia Rui rubbed his forehead and said, "We can't control this matter."

Mrs. Wang sighed, and then said: "Although I say so, Baoyu is really out of character, and he is also a little unkind and unjust."

Jia Rui nodded slightly and agreed with Mrs. Wang's statement.

Although Xiren did something very wrong regarding Qingwen, she was sincere to Jia Baoyu.

To be honest, even a stone would be heated up, let alone a human being?

But Jia Baoyu didn't take Xiren's sincerity towards him into consideration at all, which made people feel a little chilled.

Moreover, Xiren is also a dispossessed person. Who would want to marry her if she marries an outsider?

In the past, Xiren still had an actor to marry, but now due to Jia Rui's relationship, I'm afraid there is no actor left. Should Xiren be allowed to go out and die alone?
But these are all matters of Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Rui, as the patriarch, cannot interfere too much.

"Old lady, the most we can do is try to persuade this matter from the sidelines. It's really hard to intervene forcefully."

Mrs. Wang nodded silently, and then said helplessly: "To say that this girl Xi Ren is quite likable. When she met me before, she never looked up to her like others do."

After settling here, Jia Rui finally understood what the old lady was thinking. No wonder she cared so much about Xiren. It turned out that Xiren had a good attitude towards their family before he became rich. It was just such a small benefit that made the old lady keep it in mind.

Mrs. Wang became a little angry when she saw Jia Rui sitting next to him without saying a word, and then scolded him: "You are now prosperous and a prince. You no longer miss the old relationship at all. I am old and can't control you anymore." , please leave me now.”

Jia Rui had no choice but to stand up and listen to Mrs. Wang's sudden anger.

However, the old lady was still very discerning and quickly stepped forward to persuade her: "What does this matter about the old lady have to do with our prince? Besides, she is just a maid. Does our prince need to take action personally? If you Pity her, I'll go and do it for you."

Mrs. Wang softened after hearing this, looked at Jia Rui, and then said, "What do you mean?"

What can Jia Rui say now? I can only follow the old lady's words and say: "Everything is subject to the old lady's arrangements. I will just do what you say, grandson."

Mrs. Wang was satisfied with this, and then she thought for a moment, and then said: "I see that your personal servant is very prosperous and has not yet married a wife, so why not mate him with Xiren."

After hearing this, Jia Rui objected on the spot, "Old lady, Wangcai is no better than others. He is my confidant and I need him to handle many things. His status is not low at all. How can I let him marry me?" A second-hand item?”

Mrs. Wang was a little angry after hearing this, and then said: "No matter how high his status is, he is still a slave in front of me. He must marry whoever I ask him to marry."

Jia Rui straightened up when he heard this and said with a serious face: "Old lady, Wangcai once followed me to Gansu and was born and died, and after I came back, he protected me from wind and rain and protected me personally. How can I treat such a person badly? Old lady Don’t say this again.”

Mrs. Wang saw that her grandson's face was serious, as if he was angry, so she stopped saying anything.

In the end, the nun came out to smooth things over and said, "I heard that the son of the Wu Wang family who was married to the eldest grandma still doesn't have a wife. Why don't we let him marry the attacker?"

After hearing this, Jia Rui scratched his head for a while. Xue Baochai's dowry now has a different status. Which one doesn't manage several shops? There are so many people who are fawning over them, so why do they need to marry someone like Xiren who is experienced?

But seeing Mrs. Wang nodding silently, he could no longer contradict the old lady, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.

When Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Rui agreed, she immediately became happy. She immediately urged Jia Rui and said, "Hurry up and go to Rongguo Mansion to get the attacker back, so that she will not be wronged there." Jia Rui had no air. , stood there silently without speaking.

Mrs. Wang also realized what kind of identity Jia Rui was, almost the current emperor. She asked him to go to the Rongguo Mansion in person for a maid. If this spread, his reputation would be ruined.

So Mrs. Wang pretended not to care and said to the old woman who was following her: "Go to Rongguo Mansion for me."

After hearing this, the old lady smiled and agreed.

When Jia Rui saw that they had reached the conclusion of their discussion, he could only leave quickly. He was also planning to go to Xue Baochai's place to say hello to her.

The old lady didn't try to persuade him to stay. She just told him a few words not to be angry with her eldest grandson, and then sent him away.

Jia Rui left the old lady's yard and shook his head gently.

The old lady in my family has a bad background and is somewhat tainted with the habits of the market. She cannot be as sensible as the old lady from a big family.

Look at Jia Mu in Rongguo Mansion. On the surface, she only cares about having fun, but in fact, the entire Rongguo Mansion is under his control.

Moreover, Jia Mu is really the head of the family. She just turns a blind eye to some things and everyone just gets along with it. There is no need to delve into it.

It's not like my old lady actually called her prince here for a maid. Isn't this just looking for trouble?

Jia Rui sighed and returned to his side. This time he did not go to Xue Baoqin. He just sent a maid to say hello to Xue Baoqin, and then came to Xue Baochai's yard.

When I entered the courtyard, I heard a lot of people inside.

Jia Rui listened carefully and found out that the housekeeper was reporting to Xue Baochai here.

As Jia Rui's official position grew bigger and bigger, his property also increased, and Jia Rui was a hands-off shopkeeper, so these things all fell on Xue Baochai.

Just looking at the people gathered in the yard, you can tell how much property Jia Rui has now.

When Jia Rui entered the yard, the people inside immediately became quiet and knelt down by the roadside.

Jia Rui didn't pay attention to these people. When he came to the door, a little maid opened the door curtain for Jia Rui. Jia Rui went in and saw Xue Baochai sitting in the middle with a bulging face, looking at the two kneeling below. Mother-in-law.

"What's going on? Are you so angry?"

When Xue Baochai saw that it was Jia Rui who had come in, she stared hard at the two women kneeling aside, then changed her smile, and quickly got up to help Jia Rui change clothes.

Jia Rui changed his clothes under the service of Xue Baochai and Brother Ying, and then sat on the imperial chair in the middle. Brother Ying personally delivered the fragrant tea to Jia Rui.

"It's not like these two women are showing off their power outside and causing trouble. They can't handle it any more, so they come to beg me for help?" Xue Baochai put his handkerchief into Jia Rui's hand as he spoke.
