Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 16
When he got up the next morning, Jia Dairu took out two land deeds from a secret compartment on his bed.

He held the two land deeds carefully for a long time, then stroked them lightly with his hands, finally sighed, took out one of them, and put the other back in the hidden compartment.

After he was done, he hurried out of the room, not knowing what he was doing.

Since Jia Rui had a day off today, he did not do any errands. After a late nap, he got up at three o'clock in the morning.

After getting up, I washed up under the service of Brother Ying, and then had a simple breakfast.

Then he took the ancestral point steel gun and used the Yang family's marksmanship in the yard.

It should be said that Jia Rui's current Yang family's marksmanship has become extremely proficient, and his Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill has reached the second level.

The combination of this made his Yang family's marksmanship so powerful that he could only see a few cold stars scattered in all directions in the entire yard.

Blows of cold wind blew all around, and the boys and women who were swept away felt a burst of eerie

With his current martial arts skills, he is already considered a somewhat capable person.

After Jia Rui's understanding in the past few days, he didn't know what went wrong. In this world where immortals and gods appear, martial arts are very backward.

At most, the general's energy and blood can restrain some ghosts, but that's about it at most.

And speaking of it, there is no such thing as internal strength in this world, it is just some fighting skills, coupled with the general's own talent.

Therefore, Jia Rui is more confident about his future.

Just when Jia Ruili was practicing, and the whole yard was covered by the shadow of his gun, a person walked into the yard slowly.

But he didn't speak immediately, he just stood there and watched Jia Rui use the Yang family's marksmanship.

Slowly, the originally gloomy expression on this man's face became cheerful.

It turns out that this person is none other than Jia Rui's grandfather, Jia Dairu.

Jia Dairu took out a land deed early this morning and went out. He was entrusting Yahang to sell the land.

You must know that this is in the capital city, where there is always less land and more people, and the fields near the capital city are several times more expensive than other places.

Even the most fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River is not half the price of the land near the capital.

Therefore, Jia Dairu just placed a handful of land deeds in Yahang, and before he even walked out, someone started asking about the price.

This time Jia Dairu didn't leave, he just abandoned his face and started bargaining with others, and finally got 1000 taels of silver.

Although Jia Dairu held a banknote of 1000 taels of silver, he was not happy at all.

It's easy to sell this land, but it's even harder to buy it back.

Now there are only about a hundred acres of land left in the family, and the annual harvest is much less. If Jia Rui is not promoted, the family will start to save money.

Because of this, he had a gloomy look on his face, but when he entered the door and saw Jia Rui performing martial arts in the yard, his eyes slowly began to light up.

You must know that he is an old man, and he has seen his fathers fight hard, and he has also seen the deceased Rongguo Gong Jia Daishan.

Although these people are all capable generals on the battlefield, they are not much better than their grandsons in front of them.

According to his grandson's skill, if he really gets promoted to an official position, he will be able to make the saint look at him differently, and he may also be rewarded with a title in the future.

Thinking of this, the frustration caused by selling the land just now disappeared.

However, he did not greet his grandson immediately. Instead, he smiled and nodded, and then returned to his room along the corridor.

As soon as he entered the door, Mrs. Wang greeted him, then closed the door immediately, and welcomed Jia Dairu to his seat.

"How's it going? Did you get the money in exchange?"

Jia Dairu took out a few silver notes from his arms and put them on the table, and then said apologetically: "Our original Dazhuangzi stayed and sold your dowry to Zhuangzi. Don't be angry."

It turned out that Mrs. Wang's family was originally a side branch of the Wang family among the four major families. In order to marry into Jia's family, she also paid for [-] mu of land for marriage.

Mrs. Wang smiled and then said: "Aren't these Zhuangzi of mine going to be given to Rui'er in the future? Now he has urgent need, so just take them."

At noon, Jia Rui came to Jia Dairu's house, and the three of them were preparing to have lunch.

Soon, three seasonal vegetables were placed on the table, followed by several bowls of rice.

Don't look at this little thing, in ancient times, only the landlord's family could eat it.

Of course, in the Rongguo Mansion next door, these meals can at most feed a second-class maid.

After eating, when Jia Rui was about to leave, Jia Dairu stopped him.

"Wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Jia Rui quickly stood aside and glanced at his grandmother, trying to get some information from her.

Mrs. Wang had already seen her grandson's eyes constantly glancing over to him, but she did not respond to him as before. Instead, she held a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

Seeing that his grandmother did not respond to him, Jia Rui could only lower his head and carefully wait for Jia Dairu's instructions.

Jia Dairu was silent for a long time, and finally took out the banknotes from his arms, and then pushed them in front of Jia Rui.

"I sold my grandmother's dowry to Zhuangzi and collected the 1000 taels of silver. You can use it to do some planning."

After hearing this, Jia Rui was startled. He didn't expect Jia Dairu to figure it out in a day's work, and sold his family's field to him for 1000 taels of silver.

Then he felt a strong warmth welling up from his heart.

Although he respected Jia Dairu and Mrs. Wang before, it was only because he occupied Jia Rui's body.

But now he felt a sense of family affection surrounding his heart.

Jia Rui didn't say anything. He fell to his knees with a plop, then raised his fists and raised his hands.

"Grandfather, grandmother, and grandson swear that if they don't get ahead, they won't enter their ancestors' graves even after they die."

After hearing Jia Rui's oath, Jia Dairu felt a little relieved that his grandson had finally come to his senses and no longer acted like before.

Although Jia Dairu is old and doesn't want to take care of things anymore, it doesn't mean that Jia Dairu is a fool. He is clear about what Jia Rui has done in his home and private school over the years.

But after all, it is my grandson, and I usually control him very strictly when I am at home. Let him indulge a little bit in the private school, so that he can relax, otherwise, sooner or later, the grandson will not be able to hold on.

He didn't expect that his grandson, who he thought was useless, would now have such ambitions.

Jia Dairu stood up, tremblingly helped Jia Rui up, then gently patted his shoulder and said encouragingly.

"Don't make any oaths. As long as you work hard, it doesn't matter whether you become Chengdu or not. Even if you don't have any great abilities in the end, you can't starve to death if you come home to guard our inheritance."

Jia Rui nodded with tears in his eyes.

Jia Dairu picked up the banknote and stuffed it into Jia Rui's hand, then waved him away.

After Jia Rui left, Mrs. Wang, who was standing aside, wiped her tears and said, "Our brother Rui is not young anymore. If we continue to delay like this, when will we be able to have a grandson? I think we should Find him a wife."

Jia Dairu nodded. Over the years, in order to help Jia Rui make progress, he had not allowed him to approach women, nor would he get engaged.

But now that the grandson has made progress, it is time to find someone who can manage the back house for him. After all, he and his wife are getting older and do not have the same energy as before.

And if Jia Rui is promoted this time, colleagues will need a hostess to help them move among themselves.

"You should pay attention to this matter, but don't settle for now. Let's take a look at our grandson's luck this time. If he really gets promoted, he can marry someone with a better fortune."

Mrs. Wang nodded.

　Please recommend, ask for monthly tickets, and ask for collections. All parents who live in food and clothing, please help me. White Rabbit is here to pay homage.
