"There are no small books in the treasury. You have to ask the master about it. As for why there is no small dowry of the mistresses in the treasury, I can't say. I am not in charge of the treasury." Lin Fu smiled. Smile, in Jia Lian's eyes, that smile doesn't look right no matter how you look at it.

I thought in my heart that this old boy and others are greedy for things, so I can pass them off, right?You must know that he is the chief housekeeper, and he is the only one with the most power in this mansion. Uncle Lin doesn't care about these things all the year round. ?In the past three years, even if one item was exchanged a day, the mansion had been emptied in these years.

But I think they shouldn't have such courage, right?So he asked, "What about the person in charge of the warehouse? Tell him to come over and ask me."

"Back to the second master, the last person in charge of the warehouse redeemed himself and went out before the master's illness. This is because the master's sudden illness has not yet arranged for someone to replace him."

"The last one, so the mansion has changed several people in charge of the warehouse?" The more Jia Lian heard it, the more he felt that something was wrong. This important warehouse has always been managed by cronies, how could it be changed so frequently?

"Yes! Since Madam left, there have been seven or eight people in charge of the warehouse. I don't know why they can't work for a long time. They always have to redeem themselves and leave after not working for a long time. It's really strange." Lin Fu smiled, and that smile made Jia Lian look treacherous.

"Why? Just leave without asking? Uncle just let someone redeem him?" Jia Lian is now more and more sure that these slaves are responsible for it. It's really abominable. It's obviously his money that was stolen by them like this.

"Our master and wife are kind-hearted. People have always redeemed themselves without asking or stopping. After our wife left, the girl went to Beijing again. The master is busy all day and is often not at home. Even when he comes back, he is still in the study in the front yard." Those who are resting in the house, the master does not serve many people, so the master does not let people out less often. Hearing that if someone wants to leave, he does not need to go back, so he can just say and pay the money."

Hearing this, Jia Lian became even angrier, and without asking any more questions, she walked to Lin Ruhai's room. Daiyu and Qiqi were both there, sitting with Lin Ruhai.

Seeing that Jia Lian came back so soon, Lin Ruhai seemed a little surprised, and asked, "Why did you come back so soon? But is there any problem?"

Is there a problem? Big problem!Jia Lian asked angrily, "Uncle, can you let me have a look at the account books in the house, so that I can sell the things in the treasury. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to you."

"Look at you, you're all a family. I can't trust you. Just get back as much as you sell. I'm afraid you'll be greedy for me?" Lin Ruhai smiled, "Don't worry, just go sell it. .”

You are relieved, but I am not at ease!Jia Lian found out that the errand that excited him before would make him feel helpless, he said helplessly. "That's not the case, Uncle, I don't know what's in the warehouse, and I'm afraid that someone else will mess with it, so I just want to check the number and items."

"Is that so? Your idea is right, but I don't have the booklet in the warehouse either! You can just sell it, I heard Yu'er tell me. There is nothing valuable in it, so it's just Your aunt's dowry still has a few valuable items, and she moved them into her house yesterday."

"Why is there no account book?" Jia Lian was dizzy when he heard that.Whose warehouse does not have account books?real or fake?How is this possible, are you fooling him?

"In the past, this house was always under the care of your aunt. Later, when she went, I didn't ask about it. I just asked people to seal up a lot of places. In recent years, there have been a lot of servants in the house. I will go to the warehouse when I think about it. But I couldn’t find it. Your aunt didn’t have it in her house. I asked the person in the warehouse. He said he hadn’t seen that thing when he took over. There should be two sets of account books that are all gone.” Lin Ruhai sighed, “ It's also my fault that I have never taken care of the inner house, how could I have thought of these twists and turns!"

"Didn't my uncle go to the storeroom to look at it? You always know what you don't see! When the time comes, arrest those who were in charge of the storehouse. I don't believe you can't find out where the things are." Jia Lian thought in his heart. He is angry, even more angry and anxious than the owner, you must know that if those things are really antique treasures, then he is really developed this time!

"How could I have been to that kind of place? My mother took care of everything in the house after I devoted myself to studying. After your aunt got married, she taught her to take care of it. I don't know what's in the house. I heard Yu Isn’t the storeroom full? I guess it’s just those things, maybe they’re not worth much! You can just sell them for two yuan. It’s not worth anything, but the land deed and the shop are worth it. You have to find them for me. Looking for a buyer!"

How can it be worthless?Jia Lian is about to cry, my uncle, my good uncle!Don't you know that those antique jades are more valuable than fields and shops?How can you be so inconsiderate and not in a hurry?That's your money!

Jia Lian said anxiously, "What about my aunt's dowry list? With that, you can always find what is missing, right?"

Lin Ruhai frowned and said, "I don't know where she took it, maybe it's gone, but my mother-in-law should still have a share. But what's the use of you finding it? She doesn't know how much she gave away over the years, and the flowers are short How much, can you still go to the same thing? Where to find the source, it’s a waste of effort.”

Jia Lian heard the same thing, why is he right about everything!well.The feeling of being helpless when you know you've been tricked is really bad, and it's even worse if the master doesn't mind him following in a hurry.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian's dejected look, and reprimanded, "You child, you are too disappointing. Why do you only focus on those yellow and white things? A gentleman should walk in the world with his eyes on big things and big things, the foundation of a country, and Don't you just look at the three-acre land in the back house. It's a woman's territory, what benefits can you get if you go in there? Why don't you look at the outside world and find a world of your own. "

What Lin Ruhai said actually meant to point Jia Lian, but now Jia Lian only cared about the things in the warehouse, so how could he listen?

Hearing Lin Ruhai say this, he was still muttering in his heart, I am not up to date?I don't live up to it, at least I won't be like you and don't even know how much money I have lost.As for the dignified officials in the court, they can't even manage their own money.

There are also things sealed in the warehouse, which are obviously given to you by others, so you just keep them, why do you have to hand them over to show your innocence?

Really serious, Jia Lian felt that he had never looked down on this uncle so much as at this moment today, and lost so much money, even though the money did not belong to him, it also made him feel very bad.

Hearing Lin Ruhai's series of words was even more impatient, and he stopped talking after a low reply.

Seeing how he looked, Lin Ruhai didn't know that he didn't listen, sighed and shook his head, thinking that it was all he said, there was nothing he could do if he didn't want to be nice to others.

So without saying much, he took a box from the bedside and handed it to Jia Lian, saying, "Inside are the properties I bought in Yangzhou, Suzhou and other places. The shop and Xiaozhuangzi in Beijing will be left to your sister in the future. Help me sell it!"

Jia Lian opened the box and saw that it was a thick stack of house deeds. He wondered if there were any good things in those warehouses, and whether they had been traded out by those servants. He didn't know. , but this thing is enough for him to earn a lot from it.

So he immediately became energetic again, and he didn't feel depressed or entangled anymore. After a quick tour of Lin Ruhai, he ran out to see the locations of these shops for valuation.

Qiqi waited for Jia Lian to ask before she said, "Did you see Second Master Lian's expression changed just now? Those who didn't know thought his storeroom was emptied!"

"Isn't it? Thanks to us saving a hand, otherwise I don't know how much he has taken from it. It just let Grandpa Lin and the others bear the notoriety for nothing." Daiyu also clapped her hands in a good mood, and her ancestors passed it down. She doesn't want to sell any of the things, let alone someone else taking a share of it.snort!

"A slave should do things for his masters." Lin Fu said with a smile, although he didn't know when the things in his warehouse were replaced, but as a qualified slave, he had to learn to pretend to be confused. You must pretend not to know what you are not told to know.

So although he was surprised in his heart, he didn't say anything or ask anything.

"Grandpa Lin, you're the one who can trick Second Master Lian over." Qi Qi poured a cup of tea for Lin Fu with a smile, but Lin Fu didn't dare to take it.

"How can I trouble you, Miss, to pour me tea." It is said that Prime Minister Lin's status in the Lin Mansion is only lower than that of Lin Ruhai and Daiyu, but since Lin Ruhai said that he would recognize Qiqi as a righteous daughter, this loyal old servant He carried out this order very thoroughly, added another master to him, and not only beat several sons at a time.

"Heh..." Qiqi smiled and didn't say much, knowing the little old man's stubbornness, she changed the subject and asked, "Did those people go back to Gusu?"

"When I got back, I packed up my things and left. I didn't even delay for a moment. I saw that I was frightened by the master. After a while, I can calm down. I don't think I dare to make a fuss. My second son is also on the road. I told him Do things carefully and don't embarrass the master. Just rest assured, the master." He is very satisfied with these sons, although he is always scolding, but he is very proud of himself.

"Well, I'm very relieved, otherwise I wouldn't have sent him. Have you prepared the severance pay for the mansion? If it's not enough, come to me and get the money."

"It's enough to go back to the master, but once this person is released, our backyard will be even more empty, master, just watch..."

"Go back and gather people together and move them to the front yard to arrange them. It's enough to divide the current front yard into two courtyards. There are not so many people in our family who don't need to occupy such a large area. Wait for you to recruit. The scholar arranged for them to come in and copy books in the backyard, the more people there, the better."

Lin Ruhai made such an arrangement, one is to copy the book quickly, and the other is to make those people have scruples and dare not do anything cruel.You must know that his prestige among Jiangnan literati is still very high.
