[Red Mansion] Raiders of the heir

Besides, when Lin Wei helped the spirit back to Gusu, several of the family members took over in person. Once Lin Hai became a marquis, Lin Wei is now a son-in-law. After all, it is the glory of the Lin family and the Manchu clan. It's extremely detailed.Lin Hai was buried and Jia Min's coffin was moved back, and the matter was settled.Because of Lin Wei's inheritance, the people in the clan already knew about him, so it was rare for him to come back at this time, and he personally invited him to pay homage to Lin Luo and his wife, and everything was over. The Lin family's ancestral house.

Lin Wei has been thinking about the lotus in his heart. Although it has been many years, but it was inconvenient to come back at the beginning, but he asked Lin Hai to take care of her. Now that he has returned to his hometown, he also wants to ask in person, so that he can be with her. Daiyu told the matter, and after hearing this, Daiyu suddenly said: "Yes, I said that there is always such a support every festival. This is the reason. Even though they were sworn brothers, but now that girl is grown up, why don't you bring me with you to see what happens, and then we will play by ear."

Lin Wei nodded and said, "That's exactly what it should be."

So Lin Wei sent someone to send a greeting card, and went to Yang's house with Daiyu the next day. When the Yang Ming couple saw the post, they thought it over, but they couldn't believe that it was impossible for Lin Wei to find it in person. come back?Later, Yang Ming went to the street to inquire, and heard that the head of the Lin family had returned, so he concluded that it was this person. Remembering that before, he always received the care of the lotus from the Lin family with peace of mind, but he never mentioned it to her. Uneasy in my heart, I went home and carefully considered with the woman how to deal with this matter.

Let's say that Lin Wei and Lin Wei arrived at Yang's house the next day, so Yang Ming welcomed Lin Wei with good tea and water, and Daiyu was invited into the house to see the lotus.After a few words, Yang Ming would be beaten to death and dare not bring up the past, Lin Wei saw that he was acting well, so he only asked how the lotus was.

When Daiyu went into the house, she saw a woman about her size with her hands tightly twisted, her eyes downcast standing on one side, and Yang Ming's mother-in-law followed into the room, and said with a smile on her face: "This ...The house is poor, young lady...Miss Lin also invites you, sir."

Daiyu already knew everything that happened back then, and she didn't have a good impression of the couple, so she turned her head and said indifferently: "Sister-in-law of the Lin family, go and do your own work, I just have a few words with her."

"This... the lotus is afraid of strangers and can't speak, Miss Lin, look..."

Daiyu stared into Yang's eyes and said, "I know, my brother told me about it."

Seeing her blunt tone, and hearing that there was something in her words, Mrs. Yang didn't dare to make up her mind at the moment, and hurriedly said: "Well, you...you talk." Before leaving, she gave He Hua a wink.

After Mrs. Yang withdrew, she closed the door for the two of them. Seeing Daiyu's two girls standing at the door, she gave up the idea of ​​listening to her and walked away.But in this room, Hehua saw Daiyu's good looks, her words and deeds are very dignified, even the always arrogant and domineering Yang Shi couldn't bear a look in front of her, she couldn't help feeling even more ashamed, she only secretly glanced at Daiyu and then He bowed his head again.

At this time, Daiyu saw that there was no one else in the house, so she walked up to Hehua, and said in a soft voice: "Sister Hehua, brother Lin Wei, my uncle is the head of the next door to your house, my uncle left early, Five years ago, my aunt got sick and left my younger brother. At that time, my younger brother was desperate thanks to Sister Hehua who rescued me. All these years, my younger brother has always kept it in my heart, and I have passed the news to you several times before, do you still remember?"

When Yang Ming and his wife heard that Lin Wei was coming, they discussed for a long time and felt that it was not appropriate, so Yang came at night and forced He Hua to say a lot, and asked her to help cover it up.However, Hehua is the most temperamental person, she dared to leave with Lin Wei alone when she was only seven or eight years old, but now she has other plans after listening to Yang's words.Hearing that Mrs. Yang said that Lin Wei had brought her a lot of things several times, but she had never seen them before, she was even more unwilling to submit.At this time, hearing that Daiyu's tone to her was very different from that of Yang's, after thinking about it for a while, she decided to pay attention, so she nodded and blinked a pair of bright eyes.

Daiyu smiled unconsciously, and asked: "That's good, have you received the things my brother gave you?"

Hehua pursed her lips and looked at Daiyu, seeing how extraordinary her clothes and speech were, she hesitated again, Daiyu understood after seeing her like this, and asked: "Back then, my younger brother promised you, if you get a place to live and live I will pick you up and leave, now that my younger brother has a future and is in charge, will you come with us?"

He Hua's eyes lit up and opened even wider, seeing Daiyu looking at her unblinkingly, she finally nodded her head.

Lin Daiyu felt that this woman was courageous, and she dared to break the lock to save Lin Wei at that time, she was not uncommon at the time, she admired her courage, so she nodded and said: "This is the best, but there is one thing I want to tell you clearly. Back then you You know that your elder brother deceived your younger brother. The marriage contract must not be counted. What's more, you and your younger brother are married to Jinlan, and now you can only be our older sister. Do you have any other thoughts about this matter? You want to tell me what's on your mind. Understood, if you go with me and my younger brother, my younger brother will be the master of your affairs from now on. You have saved my younger brother’s life, my younger brother regards you as a sister, and I also regard you as a sister, and I will never treat you badly. But My younger brother and I have a deep affection. My younger brother will definitely be an official butcher in the future. I can't allow someone around my younger brother to reveal things, whether it is unintentional or intentional. You have really thought about it, and you want to be with my siblings People who help each other and share weal and woe?"

He Hua heard Daiyu's words, and already knew the affection between the siblings, and when she thought about Yang Ming's indifference to her, envy floated in her eyes.Back then when she was young and ignorant, she just felt that she and Lin Wei had the same illness and sympathy and ran away together, but now she felt a little happy in her heart for no reason, feeling that she had such a brother and a sister, but she was full. All the hardships and hardships came, and he nodded without hesitation, with a resolute look on his face.

Daiyu felt relieved at this point, she felt that the lotus fruit was as Lin Wei said, and she understood, so she called out: "Biyuan."

Biyuan pushed the door open and came in, Daiyu nodded to her and said, "Go and tell my brother, the lotus has answered."

Bi Yuan came to the other room, Lin Wei was sitting and talking with Yang Ming in the main room, seeing her coming, Lin Wei raised her eyes to ask, seeing Bi Yuan nodded, she said to Yang Ming: "When I left back then, the lotus flower I just ran away, my sister went over to ask just now, you are still not good to her, since you know that I am close to her, I will not ignore her affairs, so I came here today to pick her up to Beijing together, Seeing that you have raised her so big, I don't care about the past, and it can be regarded as an explanation to her."

Yang Ming saw that Lin Wei's words changed sharply, and his expression changed immediately, and he said: "You are well-off now, but there are also kings and laws in this world, that is my sister, even if you want to marry, the Ming Dynasty will marry first." Dowry, Lin Wei, don't think..."

"Hmph!" Lin Wei snorted coldly, and laughed, "That's your sister? I checked the matter of He Hua two years ago. Your parents passed away decades ago. He Hua is only 12 years old this year. There is no side branch, where is the younger sister? Kidnapping girls is a violation of the king's law, do you want us to fight a lawsuit?"

"I, when did I abduct..." Yang Ming's heart tightened, and suddenly he had an idea, and said, "You don't care if she is my sister, if she nods, the heavenly king and I have to admit it. What's more, Lin Wei, if I remember correctly, you even drew me a bet, and put it in black and white in my room. Do you think we are easy to coax, or do you dare to ignore the law because you have a thick waist? Do you think Just take my sister away, I'm afraid it's not that cheap!"

Lin Wei smiled, leaned forward and leaned forward, saying: "Yes, you finally brought up this matter, and I kept it in black and white. Let's call someone in the middle to say it, or send it to the county magistrate." Go to the court to see, what do you think?"

"You... Didn't you lose it?" Yang Ming was startled and said.

"I found it again." Lin Wei got up and said with a sneer, "Yang Ming, what did you do? Good luck. If you really want to be upset, we can do it. I will play with you and see how many acres of land you have bought from me with a few cents of money. Is it enough to pay for it!" Lin Wei did most in her previous life to cheat on others, but now that her nature has been exposed, she still has that indelible pissed off air.

Lin Wei turned around and walked out, but Yang Ming was really intimidated by him, he pulled his wrist and said: "Lin, Lin Wei, neighbors, let's have a good talk, just now, I just got confused."

Lin Wei turned around and saw Yang Ming holding his hand. Yang Ming quickly let go of it, pulled the chair for him to sit on, and said with a smile, "Although you didn't know about it in those years, brother also I have helped your family a lot, but brother is a reckless talker, you... everyone knows, don't take it to heart. Since you and lotus are compatible, you can do whatever you want, but we raised her as big , if your sister-in-law thinks about it, you tell her to go see her too?"

It's really sticky, and Lin Wei's two generations have seen a lot of things. This kind of temple that doesn't know how big it is, and any god dares to pull it. It's not the first time I saw it. Immediately She laughed and said, "What do you think? Now that you think about giving her the identity of her as your sister, why did you go early? It is because I have been watching our neighbors for so many years that I am too lazy to argue with you. You If you were really kind to her, I wouldn't have found you when you had a good life. Now that I have found you, I am not afraid of causing troubles. If you understand and don't tear your face, we will still be neighbors, and your husband and wife will If you have never thought about the lotus, you are not supporting her in vain. I have made you a small landlord, right? If you still have other ideas now, let's wait and see if I can make you Dig out the old bottom."

Looking at Lin Wei's cold gaze, Yang Ming shivered inexplicably, his eyes flickered a few times, then he nodded cheerfully and said, "Forget it, let's see where you're going? I'll just pretend I never raised her. Passing her, I've been tossing and tossing for most of my life, and it's just such a small situation, you see...?"

Lin Wei raised her eyebrows in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Of course, Brother Yang works so hard, and my sister-in-law is diligent and thrifty in managing the family, so the family business that you worked hard for is yours."

Yang Ming took a deep breath, and thought it was worth it after thinking about it carefully. All the foreign money he got over the years were all subsidies from the Lin family, and he knew it in his heart.Seeing that Lin Wei is also a difficult person to get along with, I found out yesterday that Lin Hai is actually the emperor's own Lord Marquis, even if he is innocent, even if he is innocent, I am afraid No one dared to call the shots for him.

So the two were satisfied, Yang Ming graciously sent Lin Wei out, and asked Yang to pack the lotus luggage, and sent the plague god away.But Mrs. Yang was not reconciled, and said displeased when he saw a few people leaving: "At first, I gave so many offerings every year, why did you ask him to take the lotus away, and in the future, we can still have our empathy." Has?"

When the incident became like this, Yang Ming regretted it at the beginning. Seeing Yang's mention at this time, all his anger was directed at her: "You ignorant woman! If you treat Lotus better, she can follow him. ? That kid didn’t support his son for the rest of his life, so now he’s asking me! That’s a little duke, go and try to mess with him, and don’t take your skin off!”

Yang Shi shuddered when she heard the words and stopped talking. She watched the lotus on the sedan chair and was carried out.

Besides, after Lin Wei took the lotus back, seeing the eyes of the housekeeper and old people in the old house flickering, he knew that no one had returned from the Lin family for many years, there must be a lot of tricks inside.After discussing with Daiyu, Daiyu also felt that something was wrong, and Daiyu was careful after all, so she thought about it and said: "My brother said that my uncle searched for the old house many times, but there was no way to get in. Think about it. It was the housekeeper who exercised power. When I was young, I often saw my father moaning and sighing in front of my mother because of the frailty of the Lin family's heirs. If I knew about my uncle's affairs, I wouldn't treat each other like that. Besides, our family is already dying. This is a happy event. .Now the old butler has gone, my brother, let's see how decent the butler's family is?"

Lin Wei thought it was reasonable, and when he came out, he ordered Lin Xin and Chang An to investigate secretly. The housekeeper's family is now flourishing, so how can they hide it?Although he was cautious in front of Lin Wei, but Lin Xin only mentioned the housekeeper's name outside, and everyone he didn't know, and pointed him to the wealthy family with red lanterns hanging high in the back street.

After hearing Lin Xin and Chang An's reply, Lin Wei couldn't help but click his tongue secretly. After questioning, the housekeeper Lin Cheng was actually the most affluent family in Linghua Lane, and he only regarded the Lin family's house as his own property. It's just a matter of not changing the account.The fact that Yang Ming's family has been able to get the Lin family's money in recent years is due to Lin Hai's consistent meticulous temperament. He feels that Lin Wei is the only one entrusted to him, and he often sends someone to deliver it. It's that Yang Ming can't get a penny.

Lin Wei thought about it carefully all night. After all, Suzhou is too far away. It is inevitable that some people will deceive others and make troubles. However, the capital is a place of right and wrong after all, and Tu Yan is already a big tree that can't be shaken by wind. He must not let him be in court Supported by the hall.According to the emperor's double-faced temperament, Tu Yan's heart softened and he didn't even think about it carefully, and sooner or later he folded into it.If he retreats and withdraws, this Suzhou is a good place, and he will only come here for more than ten years, so he may have to come back.Since the Lin family hadn't come back to take care of it for decades, Lin Hai didn't seem to care about it. The property in Suzhou had been sold and there was not much left.If it is cut off now, it will have to be repaired at that time, and it will cost a lot inside and out.If you don't want to keep some useful ones, you can put more farm houses and acres of land near the ancestral tombs, and slowly tidy them up, and only do the output of the sacrificial supplies. It's okay to do some careful management, as long as it's not too eye-catching.

Lin Wei made up his mind and gathered all the servants in the old house together on the second day. Everyone was extremely defenseless. At the beginning, seeing that the two of them were just teenagers, they didn't take it to heart , so at this time, no one has the thought of the imminent catastrophe.

Lin Wei didn't talk nonsense, stood still and said, "Bring the housekeeper up."

At this time, Chang'an, Jiangnan and the others turned the housekeeper Lin Cheng who was dug out of the quilt in the middle of the night, and everyone saw the look of panic in their eyes. Lin Wei glanced down, and then said: "From now on It has been decades since my grandfather went to Beijing, and the old housekeepers in our old house have all been buried. Lin Cheng, uncle trusts you father and son, and asked you to take care of them here, but you tell me what you did? "

"Master, for this house, my father and son..."

"Yeah." Lin Wei didn't bother to wait for him to distinguish, so he cut off the conversation immediately, "Your father and son have worked so hard to pick up our Lin family's blood and sweat for this house, but they are not afraid of being struck by lightning! Let me ask you, is there something wrong with uncle? Treating you? What did you lack?! And what did you do?! Apart from other things, let me calculate the expenses in your house for you. Lin Cheng, your family is not so rich! Your family Four girls and one boy, each with more than four maids, the boy also has four servants, a total of 24 servants. One woman in front of each person, 29. Your mother-in-law has four maids in front of you, three concubines and three concubines , 36. Including your long-term follower, the mother-in-law and long-term workers of the family, there are more than 50 people. Let’s calculate the monthly payment first. I asked, your mother-in-law is ten taels of silver a month, and each of the three side rooms is two Two, two taels for each of the five children, 26 taels, the big girl in front of your mother-in-law and son, one tael a month, one tael for the little servant, eight or eight taels for a total of 34 taels, the other big girls each have a penny, and the little girl five A hundred coins, the big girl is three concubines and four girls, a total of 14 people, fourteen hanging money is a small ten taels of silver, and the little girl is your mother-in-law and five children, a total of 12 people, six thousand coins are four taels, add up It's 48 taels, plus your son's 50 taels for studying, 55 taels. There are fourteen rough envoys and long-term workers, five hundred dollars each, and a total of 60 dollars is a small five taels. [-] taels. You How much do you spend a month, eh? Is five taels enough? [-] taels!"

Lin Wei slammed down in one breath, knocking out all the servants, but at the last "60 taels", everyone could hear it clearly, even Lin Cheng himself couldn't help gasping, Lin Wei said angrily : "Lin Cheng, for an ordinary family, 60 taels of silver can be used for three years, but it's not enough for you to pay for everyone in your family! 60 taels a month, 720 taels a year, 50 taels in 6000 years, What did I raise! Lin Cheng, how much did you draw from the income from the Lin family's farm property for decades?!"

At this time, the courtyard was so quiet that even Lin Huai, the housekeeper who followed Lin Hai all the year round, had only seen Lin Weihui studying before, and he was also a clear director on weekdays, but he had never seen him so sensitive and intelligent. At this moment, Fang suddenly realized that even the Emperor and Prince Rui were very fond of him. Even though this master was only ten years old, even Lin Hai was no younger than him!At the beginning, I heard that when I was in Yunnan, I knocked down a governor in one breath, but now it is really effortless for a little housekeeper.

Lin Wei said coldly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to pay back these coins even if I demolish your house. Your father and son are at the end of their seriousness for this house! Tie it up to me, and the whole family will sell it! Lin Huai .”

Normally, Lin Wei called the big housekeepers as uncles, but this time, Lin Huai stood up very respectfully and said, "Master."

"You have always been a meticulous person. When my uncle was here, I entrusted you with the ancestral house of the Lin family. These old people will keep those old people who are useful, and those who are difficult to use will be sent away before buying. I will explain the detailed plan to you in detail, and you should keep it here for me and my sister, this is the root of our Lin family." Lin Wei said.

Lin Huai didn't expect Lin Wei to keep him, but after thinking about it, Lin Xin has been with Lin Wei for three or four years, so he understands.Lin Xin was his only son, even for Lin Xin, he would definitely do his best, so he immediately said: "It's all up to the master's orders."

Lin Wei sent everyone away to do things on his own, seeing that they all became cautious, he couldn't help but sneer.In the afternoon, Lin Xin was asked to deal with the matter of Lin Cheng's family. He and Lin Huai shared the thoughts in his heart with him, saying: "No matter where I go, I will come back here sooner or later. Stay here steadfastly, and don't act in a showy manner. If there are any important matters that cannot be decided, please contact me at any time to discuss them in detail. Only when this ancestral house is well managed can my Lin family be able to live comfortably and prosper for a hundred years in the future."

Lin Huai secretly sighed that Lin Wei took a long-term view, and carefully remembered his entrustment to take care of himself without mentioning it.

But Lin Wei didn't stay long after all, the things in this ancestral house were arranged properly, and he left Gusu with Daiyu the next day, and returned to Kyoto.Before leaving, he specially told Lin Huai to keep a close watch on Yang Ming and his wife, so that he must not make any trouble out of him.
