西门庆因给高官敬献天价寿礼，“高价买下”山东司法要职。现是土豪兼法官，享升官进禄之荣， 请五个裁缝置办官带衣类， 每日开始上班，排军喝道，到庭院衙门，坐理公事，收礼接帖。时来谁不来，儿满月,  达官显赫帅樱枪队登门造访.  金莲嫉妒瓶儿生贵子， 金莲栽赃瓶儿偷”香壶”.

Ximen “buys high” for the position of jury officer through bribery with expensive gifts.  He is now rich and powerful. He invites five tailors to make his officer clothes.  Everyday, he goes to work, surrounded by his group of bodyguards, reviewing cases, and receiving gifts and invitations.  People are drawn to the power.  When Ximen’s son is just one month old, the high-ranking officers and their troops come to celebrate it.   Jin is so jealous of Ping’s son,  claiming that Ping steals the delicate house pot.
