Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 68: Dead Sealing of the Dragon Guard

"How can little brother? Brother Lao Dai actually greeted him in person."

"Haha, do we still have to talk about this between brothers? Come on, let's talk inside."

After saying that, Dai Quan personally took Jia Rui's arm and entered the main hall.

But Jia Zhen, like a servant, followed behind the two of them.

After arriving at the main hall, Dai Quan sat on the main seat without hesitation, Jia Rui also sat at the head as if nothing had happened, but Jia Zhen sat next to him like an outsider.

"Brother, you came at the right time. Just now Jia Zhen told me that she wanted to make the funeral more grand and donate a job to his children."

After hearing this, Jia Rui was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that he wanted to find a job in the Dragon Guard.

During this period of time, Captain Long was vacant for two people.

"What does the old inner minister mean to ask Jia Rong to find a job in the Dragon Guard?"

"Isn't that right? You are relatives, so let him come to you to find a job, and he will take care of you."

Jia Rui thought about it, although it was the truth, he didn't want to accept Jia Rong.

The main reason is that these two Dragon Guards are vacant, and Jia Rui can make a lot of money from it. If Jia Rong is given the position, it will be difficult for him to ask for money because it will hinder the face of relatives.

Who is Dai Quan?He just glanced at Jia Rui, and he understood what he was thinking, so he smiled and said to Jia Zhen: "Yesterday, the third son of the Xiangyang Hou brother came to beg me, and now I will give you 500 taels of silver." When you came to my house, you also knew that it was an old relationship, so if you didn't want to refute face, you just responded indiscriminately, and Feng Fatzi, the governor of Yongxing, also stared at this position, and now begged me with 3000 taels, but I don't have time to talk to him, if Our children want to donate, so bring your resume now."

Jia Zhen was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately ordered someone to write Jia Rong's resume, and handed it to Dai Quan respectfully.

Dai Quan just glanced at it and handed his resume to Jia Rui.

Jia Rui had no choice but to take it over to look at it, then put it aside and said, "Since Jia Rong is going to be a captain of the Forbidden Dragon, does he know if he will get a job or not?"

Dai Quan couldn't make the decision, so he turned to look at Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen understood that this was asking if she wanted to take a real job?

He thought about this evil in his family. He usually invites cats to play with dogs, sleeps in flowers and sleeps in willows, so he might as well let him go to the Dragon Guards to exercise. With Jia Rui taking care of him, nothing will happen. Maybe he will be one in the future. future.

"Brother Rui, you know that my son is not serious, why don't you let him go to the Dragon Guards to train for a while, maybe there will be a way out in the future."

After Jia Rui heard this, he nodded silently, but a trace of evil flashed in his heart.

Haha, if you take an idle job, I still can't target you. Since you want a real job and it falls into my hands, then the previous revenge can be avenged.

It turns out that Jia Rui has never forgotten that his predecessor was plotted by Jia Rong and Jia Qiang and lost his life.

On Wang Xifeng's side, he couldn't take action for the time being, so he could deal with Jia Rong first and give himself a break.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll send my resume to the internal office tomorrow and ask them to register. As for Jia Rong, because his wife is going to take a break for the funeral, it won't be too late to join the job after the funeral is over."

The matter was settled like this, and Jia Rui took his leave and came back, but when he was going out, he heard two officials who came to pay respects to him muttering.

"This Qin family is really too extravagant to dare to use a coffin made of golden nanmu."

"Why don't they dare to use it?"

"Aren't you afraid of being taboo?"

"The four bastards and eight princes are intertwined with each other, what can the emperor do to their family? Besides, isn't there the Supreme Emperor who is supporting us?"

"However, I don't think this is a long-term solution. There will definitely be a day when there will be trouble in the future."

"What does this have to do with us? Don't talk about it, don't talk about it."

Looking at the two little officials walking away, Jia Rui sighed.

Even any official can see the crisis of the Jia family, but Jia Zhen and others are still indulging in wealth and do not know that the danger is coming.

I am also considered to be the Jia family, and now I have some rights, but I don't know if I can stop the coming storm.

Now Jia Rui's idea is to hope that the Supreme Emperor will live a long life. As long as the Supreme Emperor is here, no one can touch his hair.

But Jia Rui can't guarantee the health of the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor will have a few years to live in the red building, it seems that he has to arrange it early.

Then Jia Rui shook his head, turned around and left Ningguo Mansion, and went back to his small courtyard.

When I got home, I saw that there were several times more servants in the yard, and these people were busy packing things.

Jia Rui didn't know what was going on. He glanced up and found that his personal maid, Brother Ying, was standing in the corridor, with her hands on her hips, directing these people to work.

"Brother Ying, come here."

Brother Ying's face was red with excitement. He didn't notice Jia Rui's return at first, but when he heard the shouting, he realized that Jia Rui was already in the yard, so he quickly trotted to Jia Rui's side.

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Why do we have so many people in our family? Where do these people come from?"

"Grandpa, they are all from the new house. Grandma thought that they were idle in the new house, so she just hired some young, strong and honest people to clean up the house for us, and put the things that are needed first. Move over."

Jia Rui nodded, and then he didn't care about it.

A few days later, the new house was almost packed, and all the necessary things were moved to the old house. On an auspicious day, Jia Rui took his grandfather, grandmother, and his wife Xue Baochai to the new house in a sedan.

It was the first time for Jia Rui to come here, but Jia Dairu had come here several times since he had nothing to do.

Therefore, Jia Rui followed Jia Dairu and walked around the house to become familiar with the environment.

Finally, Jia Dairu led Jia Rui to the main room.

"What do you think of this house?"

A smile appeared on Jia Rui's face, and he said, "It's pretty good, especially the garden in the backyard, I'm afraid it has surpassed Rongguo Mansion."

"Who told you about the garden, how about the place where I'm standing now?"

Only then did Jia Rui come to his senses, and then he glanced around, nodded lightly and said: "This house was built with great effort, the main house is so big, but there is no violation of regulations, indeed It’s not easy anymore.”

"As long as you like it, you and your granddaughter-in-law will move in today."

Jia Rui was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Grandfather's main house is naturally lived by you and grandma. I, a junior, have no right to live here."

"You are talking nonsense. How old am I? I will have to rely on you to support this family in the future. It is justifiable for you to live in the main house. Your grandma and I can live in the yard in front of the garden."

Jia Rui still wanted to shirk, but Jia Dairu forced his decision. Jia Rui didn't dare to refute, so he could only hold his nose and agree.

But speaking of it, the yard near the garden is not small, and it is very small and beautifully decorated.

That place is also close to the garden, and you can stroll into the garden just by turning a corner when you leave the door. It is indeed a good place for retirement.

Then, Jia Dairu excitedly told Jia Rui that he had already named the courtyard where he lived, and it was called "semi-leisure residence".

Jia Rui frowned when he heard the name.

There is a saying that people who are busy with their affairs can "steal half a day's leisure", but my grandfather is completely idle at home, so why steal?That’s an honest pension.

But he didn't dare to say these words. If he said it, don't look at him now that he is a big official, the old man can ask a monk to give him another punishment.

Therefore, Jia Rui also hypocritically praised the old gentleman for his taste.

That night, the family finally packed up and had a sumptuous dinner in the new house. Finally, Jia Rui and Xue Baochai personally sent the two ancestors back to their yard before returning to the main house.
