Drunken Red Mansion: Melting into Jade Madness

Mother Wang looked at Daiyu, whom she had been bringing up, and said, "Sister, mother knows everything." Touching Daiyu's hair, "Sister, don't be sad, we will return to you when your body recovers." Yangzhou, don’t be disliked here anymore, ah.”

Hearing this, Daiyu was stunned, "Go back to Yangzhou?"

Mother Wang nodded, "Do you know why I went back to Yangzhou years ago?"

"Didn't you say...to visit relatives?"

"Visiting relatives is fake. When I learned about Baoyu's marriage, I was worried that my sister would not be able to bear it, so I hurried back to Yangzhou to get some things..." Ms. Wang sat down next to Daiyu and searched out the treasure from her wide sleeves. A brocade box came, "Sister, this is the thing. The master told me to show it to you when you were still alive. But now, it's a year ahead of time. After you read it, you will have a better idea."

Daiyu took the brocade box suspiciously, there was a small lock on it, but she didn't know how to open it.

"The hairpin on my sister's head is the key."

"Hairpin?" Daiyu touched her head suspiciously, and sure enough, there was a hairpin.

Mama Wang gestured with her hands and reminded with a smile, "Sister, try it."

Daiyu put the brocade box on the brocade quilt, tried it lightly with the hairpin, the lock opened in response, and a letter jumped into her eyes, the handwriting was recognizable, it was from Lin Ruhai, after all, he taught herself to write I wrote it for more than a year.

Daiyu hurriedly took the letter in her hands, and read it carefully. It basically said that she was fifteen years old. When she grew up, she had something to tell Mama Wang. Mama Wang was her nurse and loved her as if she had already been born. if.

Turning to the second page, it was written that the old houses of the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou were all under the name of Daiyu, temporarily being managed by the old housekeeper Lin Bo, and they were relocated in the name of sacrificial offerings. Property does not need to be charged as an official.

In addition, nearly a hundred acres of fertile land surrounding the ancestral graves were also used for sacrifices, in case the four major families were intertwined, and Daiyu was harmed by the court. If there was such a day, Daiyu could return home with Mama Wang Yangzhou lived a life of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence.

"Daddy!" Daiyu burst into tears unknowingly. She always thought that Lin Ruhai didn't take her suggestion to Lin Ruhai to heart at the beginning. Hun is not an "orphan girl". She is in Yangzhou and has a home.

Open the third page, it says, at the beginning, when the Ninth Prince caused chaos in the palace, Lin Ruhai donated 200 million taels in the name of "Lin Yu" to help the prince raise the army, and he left a receipt. With this note, you can buy your life, go back to Yangzhou, and spend your life safely.

"It seems that it is God's will." Daiyu closed her eyes, just because, as the master of Shishiji, her name is Lin Yu, just like the pseudonym she gave in Peach Blossom Temple back then.

Daiyu put down the letter, and saw another small box in the brocade box. When she opened it, she found a set of jasper jewelry, as green as young leaves in early spring, a beautiful hosta, a pair of earrings, and a flower-like jade flower arrangement. , a ring, and a bracelet.

Judging from the quality of the jade, one piece is already rare, and what is even more rare is the whole set. Daiyu took out one by one, and found that there was another letter underneath, so she unfolded it, and it turned out that it was written by Jia Min to herself.

Looking at the letter, Daiyu felt a little sentimental towards the woman whom she never had the chance to meet when she came here. Looking at the letter, she was so moved that she shed tears. It turned out that Jia Min knew that she was not long in the world and could not see the days of Daiyu and Ji. So I left this letter and jewelry to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and this set of jewelry was also worn by Jia Min when he was married to Ji.

"Mother!" Daiyu's hand holding the letter trembled unconsciously. If it is said that she has been wandering in this world of mortals for ten years, and a lot of loneliness made her not have any big ups and downs, then everything today was caught off guard. , Let yourself be moved again and again.

After trying to dry her tears, Daiyu opened the inner layer of the brocade box and found some documents, all of which were sacrifice certificates and corresponding land deed certificates.There is also a certificate of donation to the court bank.

Daiyu took this considerable amount of assets and fell into Ms. Wang's arms. Only then did she know that her father had made the arrangements according to her suggestion before he died, but these arrangements...

Seeing Daiyu weeping, Ms. Wang thought she was sad, but she didn't know that Daiyu was moved. She stroked Daiyu's head and said, "Sister, promise mom that no one can tell about this matter."

"En!" Daiyu nodded, understanding the seriousness of the relationship. She was no longer the Daiyu who was deceived by others. She was the Daiyu who had been away for eight years and knew all the vicissitudes of the world.

"Mom has been away for a while and heard that there is a big commotion in Jia's house again." Wang's mother looked at Daiyu's incomprehensible expression, "I heard from some old sisters and my wife said that after Baoyu's wedding is over, I'm afraid I want to choose someone for my sister."

"What?" Daiyu was dumbfounded when she heard the words, choosing someone, is she going to marry?

"In this mansion, the old lady really loves you. She just said: my sister has not yet reached Ji, as for the matter of choosing a family, I will talk about it after Ji." Mother Wang patted Daiyu's hand, "So, sister , After all these years, it’s not like you don’t know which one is not looking at you with red eyes and white wolves, so you have to save yourself a way out for these things.”

It is said that Daiyu has a lame eyebrow. Is there a marriage?I have the final say on my own affairs. Thinking about it, no one in this world can change my ideals. What I want is to never leave and never give up.

Seeing that Daiyu remained silent, Madam Wang continued: "When the master was alive, he left 200 million taels of silver for you to Jia's mansion, saying it was for your marriage and accommodation expenses, but this money was taken away by you. The Jia family embezzled it."

Daiyu nodded, "Yes, I know." This is explained in the original book.

Mother Wang looked at Daiyu in shock, "You know?"

Daiyu suddenly came back to her senses, knowing that she had revealed her secrets, how could she know about it, "Uh, Yu'er didn't understand what mother said just now."

"The 200 million silver that the master left you was embezzled by the Jia family." Mother Wang sighed, "You were still young at that time, and the money will not fall into your hands even if the master dies." , thinking that you will eventually rely on the Jia family, so I told me that even if the Jia family embezzled this money, it doesn’t matter. It can be seen that their sincerity to you is just the relevant sacrifice certificates and donation certificates in your hand. The receipt, however, can no longer fall into the hands of Jia's people."

Hearing Madam Wang's earnest words, Daiyu leaned against the head of the bed. Although he had bribed people from Jia's mansion many times to inquire about another Daiyu's news, but... come to think of it, the other Daiyu has been in Jia's mansion for the past ten years. I'm afraid it's embarrassing to eat, drink, and hold other people's food. As an insider, Daiyu thinks so, and those who don't know the truth outside the matter may think so even more. There were a lot of supercilious people, that's why Ms. Wang had these words.

Thinking of Wang Xifeng's illness, Jia's family would not let Lin Daiyu, a grandson, take care of the internal affairs, but let Baochai, who was far away from him, take care of it. Presumably, he was worried that Daiyu would find out about the silver. Take good care of your body, it belongs to the Lin family, and she will take it back.It's just that I feel sorry for the grandmother who is really good to Daiyu, "The grandmother, the old lady..."

"Sister, you can't blame your ancestors for this matter. I guess she is the only one who doesn't know about it. She really likes you. It's just that she is getting old, and anyone who can coax her will coax her. She can live for a few more years, so she just turned a blind eye and pretended she didn't see it." Mama Wang patted Daiyu's hand again, "The rest of your aunts and uncles, I'm afraid you can't escape the 200 million taels of silver, so you have to be on guard against them."

Daiyu nodded again, "Mom, I understand."

Seeing that the girl didn't seem to be as sad as she imagined, but instead had a unique calmness. Presumably, it was Baoyu's marriage that made the girl grow up a lot. Mother Wang stroked Daiyu's hair, "My sister has grown up, we Look happy, happy."

"Mom, don't worry about me. I've grown up and understood a lot. As the old saying goes, rely on the mountains to fall, and rely on everyone to run. From now on, I will rely on myself for everything."

Mama Wang was extremely pleased, "Master said when he was still alive that my sister is extremely intelligent and very capable. I just need to remind you one or two things, and you have to make up your own mind about the rest. No matter what you do, the important thing is that The master said that you should not be unhappy in this world."

Daiyu threw herself into Mama Wang's arms, "Thank you, Mama!" Putting everything back into order, it's just that... the protrusion at the bottom of the brocade box aroused Daiyu's curiosity.
