Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

Bo Yang learned about this change from Baochai.

It's strange that this time Daiyu didn't take the initiative to talk to him about this change in mood.

But Bo Yang was not angry, on the contrary, he was very happy.Because this means that Daiyu can already handle her own affairs independently, and no longer needs to rely on external forces.In other words, she finally walked the path that Bo Yang had planned for her, and she jumped out of the original fate of "die in tears".

Everything he did before was ultimately for this result. Now that he has achieved it, how could Bo Yang be unhappy?

So Bo Yang began to think seriously about how to get Daiyu to move out.In fact, it wasn't that there was no chance before, for example, before and after the family visit in Yuanchun, Daiyu was asked to pretend to be sick, and then asked someone to say something unlucky. Given the coldness of the Jia family, naturally they would not keep her.After all, it would be a sin if something happens when you are visiting relatives and you offend the nobleman.

However, after thinking about it later, Bo Yang still felt that this was too cheap for the Jia family, and it was too wronged for Daiyu.

Due to the current social situation at the time and some other special reasons, the full text of "A Dream of Red Mansions" was written in a very cryptic manner, and the background of the story was deliberately hidden, with only a few hints mentioned between the lines.This greatly increases the difficulty of textual research.However, there are still clues to be found, so red scholars have their own opinions on this.

Among them, the whereabouts of the Lin family's property is also a very important part of the study of Hongxue.

The Lin family has several generations of princes, and their family background is no lower than that of the Jia family. Moreover, Lin Ruhai was born in a scientific examination and won a holy family, so the family business has no possibility of decline anyway.At that time, the Jiangnan salt merchants gathered in Yangzhou and lived in the first generation. Lin Ruhai, as the salt censor, dealt with these wealthy merchants and rich merchants.All these things add up, not to mention millions, there are always hundreds of thousands of family assets.

And the Lin family is small, and although they still have their own family in Suzhou, the relationship is already very distant, so Daiyu will continue to take care of the Jia family.At that time, Jia Lian took Daiyu back to take care of Lin Ruhai's funeral. It was self-evident in whose hands those family properties would end up.

In the original book, the Jia family lost the money and Bo Yang didn't know, but this time, without the support of the Xue family, I'm afraid he had to use it.After the Grand View Garden is built, it is magnificent, magnificent and beautiful, but how much of it is the hard work of others?

Bo Yang felt that this might be one of the reasons why the Jia family treated Daiyu differently during this time, and it wasn't just because the eldest princess valued her.

——Perhaps they also calculated the possibility of letting Daiyu marry Baoyu, because in this way, there is no need for Daiyu to marry, and naturally no one will pursue these things.So he has been hesitating between Baochai and Daiyu, until Yuanfei personally decides on Baochai after visiting her relatives.

Therefore, when Concubine Yuan was about to visit her relatives, it was not honorable to let Daiyu leave with such a reason and gesture, and there was a kind of aggrieved feeling of making wedding dresses for others, which was finally rejected by Bo Yang.

Although these things are his guesses, there are not eight or nine points, but five or six points.Now that Bo Yang wanted to pick him up, he would definitely make the Jia family spit out all these things.

No matter who you give this money to, no matter what you do, it is better than being swallowed by someone so vaguely.

But before doing it, Bo Yang also needs to ask Daiyu's meaning, to know the specifics of the matter. ——Although when Lin Ruhai passed away, she was mostly concerned with crying and being sad, and couldn't manage so many things, but it is impossible for Lin Ruhai not to explain at all.In addition, where are the servants of the Lin family in the past, and what is their situation, they also need to find out clearly.After all, today is not the future, how much money is a check or a card, even bank notes are rarely used, and most of the big families don’t save much cash, almost all of them are replaced by valuable antiques, To move it, the movement will never be small.And those who saw this incident at that time may be able to ask some inside information.

Daiyu was very resistant to this topic at first, probably for her, although she knew that life was not easy, she didn't like these things in her nature after all, and it was probably not what she wanted to start a dispute with her grandfather's family over yellow and white things.However, Bo Yang put the facts and reasoned, and let her accept it: Even if the money is really not wanted, if it is given to Jia's family, it has to go through a clear path, and it can't be so vague.

Then she revealed that Lin Ruhai had actually given her a small box at that time, saying it was something he used every day, and kept it for her to think about.Daiyu didn't think much about it at that time, besides, not having to see things is already very sad, so how could she bear to look at them?So I had to put it away.

Fortunately, Jia Lian probably didn't know the existence of this box, so no one in the Jia family asked about it.When I opened the box and inspected it, there was indeed a list inside, which listed all the property of the Lin family, including the title deed of the house, the list of warehouse items, and so on.

As for the servants of the Lin family, according to Daiyu's opinion, because her father's funeral was not yet over and she could not stay in Yangzhou to observe his filial piety, she discussed with Jia Lian that day and sent some of them away, leaving the loyal and mature ones to live in the old house. Daily cleaning and worship.

Bo Yang didn't expect there to be a list either.With this thing, things are much easier.He flipped through two pages in his hand, and asked Daiyu, "Sister, is she willing to part with these belongings? If so, this may be the opportunity for you to leave Jia's house."

"What does Brother Yang mean?" Daiyu asked.

Bo Yang said, "It's snowing heavily this winter, so it's fine here. Further north, countless houses have been crushed, and quite a few people died of freezing and starvation. A few days ago, the imperial court opened the government office and discussed the The first thing to do is disaster relief. However, the treasury is empty, where did they raise so much money and food? I am afraid that the palace and court are all worried about this."

Don't look at the bustle in the capital because several concubines went home one after another to visit their relatives. In fact, those who really know how to protect themselves have already started to keep a low profile, so as not to attract the attention of the boss at this time.

Daiyu didn't expect to be so thorough, but she also understood what Bo Yang meant, "Brother Yang wants me to donate these things?"

"Yes." Bo Yang said, "It's useless for you to hold these things in your hands, and it's not a good thing. It happens that we have contacts with the Princess's Mansion, maybe we can ask her to make a difference and donate these things to Your Majesty."

What Bo Yang said was to donate to His Majesty.

Although it has been a few years since I ascended the throne, the emperor is still in the palace, so I have to be careful about everything, and my life is not happy.For example, everyone knows why the treasury is empty—it’s nothing more than noble ministers borrowing money from the treasury at every turn, and never paying it back. The treasury should still have money, but in fact there are only A bunch of white stripes.

However, upon closer examination, the money borrowed from the state treasury by honorable ministers was nothing more than spent on the emperor.Of course, some of them are more or less deducted, which cannot be fully counted.The emperor is getting old, he wants face and nostalgia for the past, how could he really ask his courtiers to pay back the money he spent back then?

So this bitter fruit had to be eaten by his son.The treasury has no money, and those people cannot be moved, so they have to endure it.

But the Ninth Five-Year Lord, is he really willing to let the situation go on like this?

Naturally it cannot.

Although Bo Yang didn't know it clearly, judging from the situation of the previous provincial relatives and Lin Qi's errand, Shang Yu's spare office, who has been watching Jia's family and even Xue's family, I am afraid that a lot of preparations have been made today. Many wealthy families had their homes ransacked. Obviously, the new emperor's hands were not soft at all.

Moreover, there is another analysis in later generations, that Lin Ruhai's death is also strange, most of it is a political strife, and it is hard to say whether there is any new emperor's instigation.Moreover, the Lin family's property may not be too much, but it is quite a lot, and the source cannot be said to be very clear.In the past, Lin Ruhai was still there, but now Daiyu is an orphan, and she is determined not to be able to keep her.It's better to just donate and buy a good one, and you can show your attitude and stand in a team, so as not to be implicated in the Jia family's affairs in the future.

Daiyu hesitated.In fact, she knew many things in her heart, so she also understood that the Jia family would never let this money go for nothing, and it was hard to say how much they still had now.It's easy to take out this list, but the Jia family probably won't be able to give out that much money.

Bo Yang didn't urge her, but just let her think clearly.Although it would be the most beneficial to do so right now, if Daiyu is not willing, that's fine.

Anyway, he didn't have the awe of the people at this time for the imperial power, and all he thought about was hugging his thighs.But if you think about it carefully, you will inevitably get involved in trouble if you hug your thigh, maybe you might not be as comfortable as you are now.

Besides, this is Daiyu's own life after all, he can give advice and help, but she must choose the path herself.

After all, Daiyu did not disappoint him, but she made another request, wanting to remove the money from the list and leave only the things.

Bo Yang shook his head when he heard the words, "No, things can be removed, but money must be kept."

"But..." Daiyu hesitated to speak.

Bo Yang knew that she wanted to say that the Jia family might not be able to get the money, but most of the things were still there.But what is the use of the imperial court wanting these things?If you can't exchange it for money in a hurry, it's not very useful.That would defeat the point of donating.

But things can be removed, so even if the Jia family can't afford the money, they can sell these things for cash.

Bo Yang was thinking about the cash in his hand, and was in a hurry to ask for money. The price offered by Jia's family must not be high, and he might be able to buy some back.

Daiyu heard what he said clearly, she couldn't help being stunned, tears rolled down her eyes.
