[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

Naturally, Wang Xifeng had used these crooked brains before.What's more, Mrs. Wang treated her very kindly at that time. On the surface, she gave all the power of managing the house to her, but she did not do little to "make suggestions" secretly.Wang Xifeng is in charge of the palace, how many hardships there are few people can know, even Daiyu knows that the palace is getting more and more difficult, let alone such a shrewd person like her?

The dowry for the dowry was posted everywhere, but it looked like a bottomless pit. Wang Xifeng was at a loss, so she went to Mrs. Wang for an idea.

Mrs. Wang did not refuse, but said: "When I was housekeeper, although I knew that the money was difficult, it was still enough." After speaking, she called Wang Xifeng to her and explained in detail, " Our family has a big business and a large population. Not to mention that the old ladies, wives, grandmothers, and girls have to carefully prepare for food and clothing. Even the old men are outside, raising a group of clean-up guests, and occasionally they see Everything is there. It’s not easy to deduct their money, but it’s a joke for outsiders.”

These words brought a bit of a smile, and Wang Xifeng hurriedly nodded in agreement.

It's just that it is getting more and more difficult to manage the family, Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and had to tell Mrs. Wang about her own difficulties. "Madam doesn't know, I've only been in charge of the family for three or four years, and I've paid seventy-eight out of ten of the dowry I brought. But that's it, our family's expenses are really not worth it. Like this year Every year, I feel a bit like eating my own food, and if things go on like this, I'm afraid it won't be enough if I lose my whole body."

Mrs. Wang glanced at her, seeing that Wang Xifeng's brows were full of exhaustion.Thinking of Wang Xifeng's dowry that Zhou Rui's family had privately exploited for him earlier, he was very proud, but there was a bit of pity on his face.He only caressed Wang Xifeng's hair, and comforted: "My son, it's hard for you to think so wholeheartedly for the whole family. Amitabha, the old lady and I see it in our eyes, and we are 1 satisfied and relieved in our hearts." .”

At that time, Wang Xifeng was still complacent, wanting to compare men to others.After taking care of the house, it seems that she can rely on her, not to mention that the old lady and Mrs. Wang are willing to indulge her, so they become more and more violent, and the housemaids and aunts in Jia Lian's house are so miserable that they are crying.

But Mrs. Wang has been cold to Wang Xifeng for a few days, and seeing that she is getting more and more worried about money matters, she orders Zhou Rui's family to invite Lian's second grandma.When she came, he showed her Dongzhu, which he got recently.

Wang Xifeng has always loved gold and silver jewels, and now he saw that the East Pearl was huge and plump, round and crystal clear, exuding multicolored luster, shining brightly and showing nobility.He loved it even more in his heart, but he pursed his lips and smiled in front of Mrs. Wang, "Where did my aunt get such a good Dongzhu, it's rare even in the palace."

When Wang Xifeng is used to acting like a baby, she will use the title "aunt" to show that she and Mrs. Wang are very close relatives.When Madam Wang heard what she said, there was nothing she didn't understand, she just smiled and said: "You are as shrewd as a monkey, I'm afraid this Dongzhu can't compare with all the ones presented in this year's tribute." As he spoke, he laughed again: "Besides, it's not costing my own money, it's even more comfortable to watch."

Wang Xifeng was shocked and said: "Could it be possible that this Dongzhu fell from the sky? It doesn't cost any money to get it. Good aunt, dear aunt, please tell me about this in detail, it will make me feel like a cat in my heart." The scratching of the claws is extremely painful."

Seeing that she had taken the bait, Mrs. Wang no longer concealed it, she just said: "You think I was so capable when I was a housekeeper. This country's government has lost too much money, and if I want to use my own dowry to make up for it, I'm afraid I have to pay for it." It will be enough if half of Wang's family pays for it." Seeing Wang Xifeng's panicked expression, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "It's just that there is a way to get money quickly and without much risk, you can try it."

"Auntie, tell me quickly, what is the solution."

Seeing Wang Xifeng's impatience, Mrs. Wang's smiling eyes flashed a cold chill, but her face was still full of smiles, "Have you heard of this interest money? I borrowed the principal and rolled it up." One back and forth, you can earn more than this amount." Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand and slapped her.

Wang Xifeng's heart trembled slightly, if people found out about the profiteering, it would be a catastrophe for the family to be ransacked and wiped out.But Mrs. Wang said it so lightly, which is really chilling.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng was silent, Mrs. Wang only thought that she had no idea.He simply told Zhou Rui and the others, and said: "Your sister Zhou's son-in-law, although he is doing business as an antique dealer to the outside world, has done a lot of things for me. It's just that since you came, take me Regarding the matter of the housekeeper, I put a little less. There are many borrowers outside, not only from our house, but also from other people's houses. Besides, those people only look at the IOUs. You don't have to worry about signing the name of our house, and it's not the slightest bit of contamination to our back house wife."

Wang Xifeng was terrified in his heart, seeing Mrs. Wang's smiling face made her chills rise even more.Restraining the trembling of his hands, he asked: "The profit and money are extremely hurtful things, isn't Madam afraid of some private retribution?"

"Based on his secret retribution, I am a person who eats fast and recites Buddha's name. The Buddha naturally knows that I am dedicated to goodness. Besides, I released the profit money, but I never forced them to take the initiative to borrow it. I did not do harm to the world Why do you want me to bear this notoriety?" After that, seeing Wang Xifeng drooping her eyes and saying nothing, Mrs. Wang felt a little depressed, she waved her hand and said, "Go back and think about it carefully. Come and talk to me. Seeing that it's getting late, you should go back earlier, don't make Lian'er wait."

When Wang Xifeng went out, he was blown by the cold wind, and his dizzy mind suddenly regained consciousness.When I looked back and saw the plaque with the words "Decree to Rongguo Mansion" written on it, I felt more clear in my heart.

But when Jia Lian and Jia She heard Wang Xifeng tell how Mrs. Wang coaxed her to give away money, they were both horrified and inexplicable.Jia Lian even grabbed Wang Xifeng's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "You really didn't put the profit?"

Wang Xifeng glanced at him with a smile, and said with a smile: "No matter how stupid I am, I am a little afraid of this secret retribution. What's more, profit and money are all stained with human flesh and blood. Yan Zisun. How dare I do such a thing, am I not afraid that the Lord will kill me!"

"Grandma, how dare I kill you." Jia Lian didn't care that Jia She and Mrs. Xing were there, and put Wang Xifeng in his arms, and said with a smile: "I really want to write about the wisdom of grandma, otherwise I was instigated by someone to give away the profit that day, I am afraid that our family will not be able to escape the responsibility. Sister Qiao and brother Xun are so clever, I thought they were like me, but now I know that they are like grandma .”

What she said made Wang Xifeng's ears turn red and her cheeks burn.

Seeing his husband and wife like this, Jia Amnesty felt relieved.After thinking about it again, Mrs. Wang wholeheartedly instigated her own daughter-in-law to commit such disasters for two reasons: one is that she has already tasted the benefits of it, so she wants to teach such crooked methods to others. Wang Xifeng; secondly, seeing that the dowry brought by Wang Xifeng was no longer enough to supplement the business, and fearing that the old lady and others would bring up old accounts due to a shortage of something, she said that she wanted to give away the profit.

In any case, since Mrs. Wang dared to let go, she stretched out her claws, how could Jia Amnesty allow her to shrink back.He should have taken the opportunity to cut off a pair of her claws!

Undoubtedly, the next day, Jia She ordered people to secretly investigate the shop of the antique dealer Leng Zixing, and sure enough, after a few words, the matter of borrowing money was involved.That Leng Zixing was a very cautious person, after confirming the identity of the visitor again and again, he borrowed 200 taels of silver from that person with confidence.It's just that I have to lay down the IOU, which is ordered to be for a period of one month, and must be returned.

The two went back and forth to bargain, and finally set a [-]% interest rate.

Jia Amnesty took a look at the IOU in his hand, and was so angry that he wanted to laugh out loud.

This Mrs. Wang is really not greedy enough!She dared to let go of 200% of the high profits!A mere 80 taels of Wenyin is for a period of one month, and [-] taels of interest must be added when it is returned.What a high profit this is. Once verified, the whole family may have to pay the price for Mrs. Wang's stupidity!

Jia Amnesty hurriedly called Jia Lian, and after discussing it, the two went to Lin's mansion overnight to meet Lin Ruhai.

Not to mention what the Lin family's father and son and Jia She's father and son talked about behind closed doors in the study, just look at Jia She and Jia Lian's pale face when they entered the Lin's house as if they were mourning, but when they came out they held their heads high. , smiling.The changes, as long as they are not blind, they should be able to see it, and it must be because they have solved a big problem in their hearts.

Lin Ruhai looked at the thin paper IOU in his hand, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "The Jia family is getting more and more out of calculations, and even dares to do such things as ransacking the family and exterminating the family, do you really think there is an impenetrable wall in this world?" ?”

Lin Ze laughed a little at what he said, and restrained himself a little before putting on a serious face.

"The top priority should be to cut off contact with their family earlier. Since the woman in the Wang's house dared to put her hand into such a big event of beheading and ransacking her house, there must be someone behind her to support her. No way, the old lady in the palace Mr. Wang, who was promoted to the capital inspectorate of the nine provinces just now, has a share. Father had discussed with the emperor earlier and drafted the regulations."

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai felt that it made sense.Seeing Lin Ze leaning halfway, being woken up from his sleep at night, everyone felt a little tired.However, Lin Ruhai's sharp eyes flicked slightly on Lin Ze's neck, and keenly caught a trace of beauty.Immediately pursed his lips, and said in a deep voice: "You are almost a weak crown, if there is a girl you like, you should tell your father to know about it earlier. It will save...instead of polluting your body."

He talked endlessly, but he stopped.

With Lin Ze's intelligence, it didn't take a moment to follow Lin Ruhai's gaze to look at his neck.From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the bright red, and Lin Ze's ear tips were slightly hot.She tilted her head and whispered: "There is someone I like, but it's a pity it's not a girl."
