Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

The second prince was a little unbelievable. The father meant that he did not intend to stop, and told him to continue to design the prince, let the prince suffer, and learn a lesson. Even if the prince finally knew that he did it, once he sued the father, so what, Father would not blame him either.

The second prince was overjoyed, and then hesitated, if he allowed this matter to develop quietly, he wondered if the fourth prince would be dragged out.

And this hesitation fell into the eyes of the emperor, and he was afraid that the prince would blame him, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, if the prince is not convinced, just ask him to come and talk to me, and I will make the decision for you." Hesitant, hurriedly responded.

After the second prince left, the emperor immediately ordered Chen Ruiwen to enter the palace.

Chen Ruiwen came quickly, he looked at the emperor inexplicably, the emperor looked serious, and said: "Do you know about the prince planning the Lin family?"

Chen Ruiwen nodded: "I know, I told the second prince about this."

The emperor didn't expect Chen Ruiwen to be so honest, he was stunned for a while, but Chen Ruiwen said: "That Wan Lin not only wants to make a fortune with the power of the prince, but also tricks Guangzhu and others into investing money, and then he will be empty-handed." White Wolf, Guangzhu wants to lure me into this business together, I feel strange, there is no good thing in this world that you can get something for nothing, only after a little inquiring, will you know the inside story."

The emperor said: "You are sincere and did not expose this matter."

Chen Ruiwen didn't speak, the emperor looked at the handsome young man in front of him, it was a pity, Chen Ruiwen was excellent, even the emperor could not deny that he was better than the other princes, the emperor originally wanted to betroth Princess Chaohuang to him, but he was afraid that Chen Ruiwen would marry him After becoming Princess Chaohuang, the power of the second prince increased greatly, which put the prince in a weak position. Now it seems.What a pity.

The emperor didn't speak, and Chen Ruiwen didn't move. He looked at the emperor's expression, and thought that the second prince should have had a sincere conversation with the emperor, so why did the emperor summon him?

The emperor waved to Chen Ruiwen, told him to sit down, and said earnestly: "The Bao family has been arrogant and domineering all these years because of being the uncle of the country. Brother Changling. Although you are Hongxuan's cousin, you grew up with the prince. He has something wrong. You didn't show off to embarrass him. Instead, you told me. I'm happy to see you He is a kind-hearted person, and I will let you assist the prince in the future. I am also relieved."

Chen Ruiwen remained calm, but secretly surprised in his heart, the emperor was beating himself, telling himself to be loyal to the crown prince, not to have two minds!

Chen Ruiwen got up and knelt on the ground: "I will do my best." The emperor nodded in satisfaction and rewarded Chen Ruiwen with a Longquan sword.Then call him back.

Chen Ruiwen showed the sword to Chen Yi first, and then hung it in the study. Chen Yi told him: "You should not go out during these days. Since the emperor entrusted the matter to the second prince, he wanted to practice him, Don't worry about it."

Chen Ruiwen agreed and concentrated on taking care of general affairs at home.

The Chen family is a family of military generals, and it has always been easy to make a fortune in wars.The Chen family had already accumulated a lot of wealth, as early as when Chen Yi was young.At home, the money was set up as a farm and shop, and the shopkeeper was hired to take care of it. Now, it is the first place in a family in the capital. Now that Chen Yi is getting old, he handed over these things to Chen Yongming. The Chen family did not separate, so Chen Yongming asked his two younger brothers to help, which was quite easy, and now he handed over some of them to Chen Ruiwen to take care of: "You will take care of it sooner or later, it's better to get acquainted earlier."

Chen Ruiwen seldom looked at the account books, but after reading them for two nights, he felt a little dizzy. Lin Wanru saw that he hadn't returned to his room for a long time, so he came over to have a look in person. You know everything, you know everything, it seems that you also have troubles."

Chen Ruiwen embraced Lin Wanru with his long arms, and hugged Lin Wanru to his knees: "With your red sleeves on your shoulders, it's fine for me to stay up all night."

Lin Wanru let out a cry of surprise, turned around and hit him: "You think well, if you don't go back, I'm going to sleep, and tomorrow I have to settle accounts with my mother."

How could Chen Ruiwen let her go: "You also need to look at the ledger?" Lin Wanru laughed: "Fool, the inner courtyard also has the ledger, so of course you have to look at the ledger, even our yard has ledgers, otherwise everything would be a mess. How can there be rules to talk about? Where can there be old rules to follow?"

Chen Ruiwen's eyes lit up: "Then you can help me read the accounts."

Lin Wanru said with a smile: "It's a good idea, so I won't take things on myself. Besides, with just these few books, it's hard for you to do this. I'll leave them all to you in the future. What should you do?"

Chen Ruiwen didn't care, and hugged Lin Wanru tightly and didn't let go. Lin Wanru had no choice but to pick out a shop's ledger and read it, then took the abacus and flipped a few numbers. He knew the business of this shop well. , and then pointed it out to Chen Ruiwen: "This silk and satin shop makes a net profit of 2000 taels of silver a year, which is not bad, but I think the shops run are all high-quality materials that dignitaries can afford. Based on the amount of cloth sold on the book, it is estimated that at least 5000 taels can be earned, and the shopkeeper concealed a profit of 3000 taels, but the books are still flat. It seems that the shopkeeper is not simple."

Chen Ruiwen was stunned: "The book is flat, how did you see it?"

Lin Wanru pointed to the two records and showed him: "Here it is written that I went to the south of the Yangtze River to collect silk and spent 1000 taels of silver, but the time recorded was in summer. Silkworms usually weave silk in spring. In summer, I went to collect silk. Where is it?" It was received, it was clearly a false report, and there is another place where it is said that there is a payment of 500 taels of silver that has not been recovered, but at this time, no cloth has flowed out, and the warehouse still has the same amount, which shows that it is a lie."

Chen Ruiwen was even more amazed, and suggested with great interest: "Let me give you all these ledgers to read. You can see what's wrong at a glance. Even my grandfather doesn't have this ability."

Lin Wanru said with a smile: "How can I take care of the general affairs of the mansion, not to mention that grandfather and father don't agree, even if they agree, I don't agree. They want to trick me into working hard for you. It's a beautiful idea."

Chen Ruiwen put his chin on Lin Wanru's shoulder: "It is said that a husband and wife are of the same heart, and their profits cut through the gold. What's the matter if you help me look at the account book?"

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "Teaching a man how to fish is worse than giving him a fish. I can teach you to read the account books, but I can't help you. It's actually quite easy. As long as you put your heart into learning it, are you afraid you won't be able to learn it?"

Seeing that Lin Wanru didn't let go, Chen Ruiwen sighed, and said, "Well, you can help me read these books, so that I can report to my grandfather, and after the new year, I will learn from you slowly. "

Lin Wanru saw that his face was tired and his eyes were black and blue. Knowing that he had worked so hard for a while, Lin Wanru asked Chen Ruiwen to rest on the short couch in the study, and he went through the ledger with one hand and the abacus with the other. Finished the two accounts.

Going to see Chen Ruiwen, Chen Ruiwen was already asleep, Lin Wanru couldn't bear to wake him up again, so he asked someone to bring a bedding to cover him, and went back to the main room to rest.

Early the next morning, Lin Wanru got up to greet Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen was giving orders to the lady in charge when she saw her come over with a smile on her face: "I just said that the things for the New Year from Zhuangzi are all piled up in Dongkua courtyard. You go back and take people to order, and distribute it to each house, so as to prepare for the New Year."

Lin Wanru agreed, and had breakfast with Mrs. Shen. Before they finished eating, a little girl from Tao Ranju came over to pass on a message: "The young master said that someone from Jia's mansion is here, and he is in a hurry to invite the young mistress over, saying that the second mistress Bao injured."

Lin Wanru was stunned, and Shen Shi was also taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Go and have a look, how could you be injured?"

Lin Wanru was in a mess, so she hurriedly responded and went back to Tao Ranju. The person who came was Xueyan. Seeing Lin Wanru, she burst into tears: "Second aunt, go and see our grandma, my wife brought Second Mistress Lian and Grandma went to Baojia to reason, but Baojia was very unreasonable, pushing and shoving, grandma fell and kowtowed, and the old lady was crying like something."

Lin Wanru hurriedly changed her clothes, and went to Jia's mansion with Xueyan. Chen Ruiwen was worried, so she went with her.

Lin Daiyu's forehead was black and blue, and she was resting on the bed. Jia Baoyu sat watching worriedly. Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were both sitting in the main hall of Yihong Courtyard and weeping.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was fine, Lin Wanru breathed a sigh of relief, but was still very angry: "Why is the Bao family so arrogant, what can't be said properly, so they insist on doing it."

Mother Jia sighed, and said: "Although the family ugliness should not be publicized, Wanru is not an outsider, so I won't hide it from you. Yingchun has not had a good life in Bao's house. I think the new daughter-in-law always survives the day. I can't say anything more, but something happened to my mother a while ago, I wanted to ask Mrs. Bao to help me intercede, but Mrs. Bao put forward a condition, saying that as long as I agree with them to take Yingchun off, I will agree to help. I am so angry There was no other way, I couldn't come forward in person, so I asked the second wife and Sister Feng, and Daiyu went to reason, but who knew that the two girls of Bao's family were really not easy to use, so they pushed and shoved with them, not only did Daiyu hurt her head, Sister Feng was also scratched twice on the hand, tell me, how can someone be so unreasonable..."

Lin Wanru was furious, but it was about Jia's family affairs, so she couldn't say much.

Mother Jia originally wanted Lin Wanru to give Lin Daiyu a chance to help the Jia family solve this problem, but it can be seen that Lin Wanru did not make a sound and was a little disappointed. Madam Wang said: "Baojia is really not a thing, let's bring Yingchun back, take care of it." All the local girls have been tortured to the point of wretchedness."

Jia's mother said: "What can I do if I take it back? If I were to be divorced, what would I do for the rest of Yingchun's life?"

Mrs. Wang muttered: "The matter of the empress is urgent." Lin Wanru sneered in her heart, no wonder she was anxiously called to come, she became more silent and sat down to drink tea in leisure time.
