[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Jia Lian froze for a moment, after his two servants were thrown out of the house by Lin's guards, Jia Lian finally regained his composure.

He is cowardly, but everyone has a three-point temper, let alone him, the second master Lian in the vertical and horizontal capital?

Jia Lian's face immediately darkened: "What is the meaning of this, Lord Hou?"

His servants are all handsome young boys, no matter how strong they are, they are no match for the specially trained guards of the Lin family. They failed to stop the guards of the Lin family, and the boxes and cages in the house were quickly turned into a mess. Jia Lian His brows were gloomy, he was really angry.

Lin Jian smiled faintly: "Second Young Master Lian, don't worry, I don't want your personal money, and I won't take your things indiscriminately. I just want to take Lin Yushi's money from you and return it to you. That's all Miss Lin."

When Jia Lian heard the words Lin Yushi, his expression was a little unnatural, and he said stiffly: "I don't understand what Lord Hou means."

Lin Jian laughed and settled accounts with him plainly: "Miss Lin is ill, you have to see guests and you have to deal with Lin Yushi's funeral, that's for you, I don't care who you entrusted, you shouldn't take Those things that belonged to Miss Lin. It was left by Lin Yushi to his daughter, not to you or your Jia family."

"When Lin Yushi went to Yangzhou from the capital, he brought more than 1000 taels of silver with him and several land deeds. That’s right, he’s not a poor official. He has been in Yangzhou for more than a year, and because of his family, he bought a small house in Yangzhou, and the family also made some income. When he died, apart from the house, he still had More than 4000 taels of silver."

"Second Young Master Lian, as far as I know, you only gave Lin Yushi's house of books and a few dozen taels of scattered silver to Miss Lin, and you plan to take the rest back to Jia's mansion to be yours, right? "

As Lin Jian was talking, the guards of the Lin family had found all the banknotes and house deeds that Jia Lian had left behind, and then put those things on the table in front of Lin Jian. The right servant stood behind Lin Jian and did not move.

Lin Jian rapped on the table with his fingers: "Second Young Master Lian, I took these things away. This is Miss Lin's property, not your Jia's. She has to keep it by herself, and you are not allowed to touch it."

Lin Jian also counted the banknotes and house deeds in front of Jia Lian, to prove that he didn't take any more of Jia Lian's things, and then ordered Qian Ying to put away the banknotes and other things.

Lin Jian continued to inform Jia Lian: "Miss Lin doesn't need to be accompanied by the second son of Lian when she returns to Gusu to bury Lin Yushi. The second son of Lian will stay in Yangzhou, and I will accompany Miss Lin back to Gusu."

Lin Jian acted resolutely, and the decision with money was completed in a moment. Jia Lian was a little dazed after hearing this, and realized after a while that Lin Jian was standing out for Lin Daiyu.

Could it be that Lin Daiyu went to sue Lin Jian secretly?

Jia Lian didn't have the time to think about it, his first reaction was that Lin Jian could not accompany Lin Daiyu back to Gusu.The more than 4000 taels of silver and the property he got from Lin Ruhai seemed impossible to get back, and Jia Lian was even more unwilling to lose the land and houses of the Lin family in Gusu.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, who are following the housekeeper, know that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's husband and wife know that the family's money is already beyond their means, and they can barely support it for two or three years, but if it goes on for a long time, if they don't want to find a way out, I'm afraid that the mansion will really decline by then.

Wang Xifeng is now thinking of some frugal ways to come up with it. Not long ago, he joked with Wang Xifeng that it would be great if he could make a fortune right now, but it didn't take long before he got such a gift from Mother Jia. The task is to send Lin Daiyu back to Gusu with the coffin, and handle Lin Ruhai's funeral on her behalf.

He coveted the property that Lin Ruhai left to Lin Daiyu, and Jia's mother also made it clear that Lin Ruhai entrusted Lin Daiyu to her, and Lin Ruhai's funeral was entirely up to the Jia family. It's useless, and there's nothing wrong with putting it in Jia's house.

When Jia's mother had this meaning, Jia Lian felt at ease and ignored Lin Daiyu, and directly withdrew all the money, and only gave Lin Daiyu some scattered silver as a symbol. Lin Ruhai's books were useless for them to hold. So I left it all to Lin Daiyu.

Jia Lian thought, after this trip, when he returns to the capital, he will have [-] to [-] yuan in income no matter what. In this way, relying on these silvers, he can survive the difficult days in the mansion. .

Jia Lian planned everything well, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would appear on the way, and Lin Jian's appearance disrupted everything.

Jia Lian fell into deep thought, and these thoughts flashed through his mind one by one. He didn't speak immediately, but during this period of time, Jia Lian's mood gradually calmed down, and his thinking became much clearer.

Jia Lian removed the thin quilt covering his legs, straightened the wrinkled hem of his clothes, and sat up straight, then looked at Lin Jian and smiled, "Isn't there something wrong with what Hou Ye said? "

"Accompanying Miss Lin to Gusu, Yangzhou, to deal with Lin Yushi's funeral is the decision of the old lady in our family. She entrusted this matter to me. How can I stay in Yangzhou because of Lord Hou's one-sided words? If Miss Lin is going here What happened, how can I explain to our old lady?"

"Besides, this was originally a matter of our family. Why should Master Hou force himself to come forward? Master Hou came to Yangzhou to investigate the case. Master Hou has official duties, so he should not leave Yangzhou easily. He said that he would accompany Miss Lin to visit the aunt. Su, I'm afraid you adults won't agree, right? Master Hou's words are really thoughtless."

Lin Jian looked at Jia Lian indifferently, and his words were as sharp as a sharp edge: "Second Young Master Lian, I hope you understand that I'm not here to discuss this with you, I'm just here to inform you."

"What's wrong with Miss Lin going with me? I'm not coveting her money or property."

"Besides, I have the highest grade here in Yangzhou. If I say I want to leave, who can stop me? Who dare not agree?"

Jia Lian originally thought that he was absolutely reasonable, so he calmly came up with reasons one by one to refute Lin Jian, but he didn't expect that Lin Jian would not eat soft and hard things, and even his attitude was domineering, which was much more difficult than he imagined. .

Jia Lian choked on his words, and immediately became anxious again: "You!"

"Lord Lin, don't bully people too much!"

As if Lin Jian had heard something praising him, he immediately smiled sincerely.

He bent over laughing, and it took him a while to recover. He rolled his eyes and smiled at Jia Lian coldly and evilly: "Second Young Master Lian, I just want to bully you, do you dare to turn against me?"

"Don't say it's you, even if the old lady in your family sits in front of me, I can still say these words correctly. I just want to bully your Jia family, do you dare to turn against me?"

Jia Lian dare not.

Jia Lian thought about it, and felt that even if Jia's mother was here, she would not dare to turn against Lin Jian face to face.

Lin Hongwei's reputation is too great. As a former general of this dynasty, even if he is willing to be mediocre now, the entire Lin family is not stunned, but the power of the Lin family should not be underestimated.This was not because of the large number of Lin family members, or how promising their sons were, but because the Jia family, the backers of the Lin family, could not afford to mess with them.

Lin Hong is still receiving courtesy from Emperor Chengsheng. Lin Hong is backed by Emperor Chengsheng, and Lin Jian is backed by the Nine Princes. Coupled with the old situation of the Lin family in Lingnan, their entire Rongguo Mansion together cannot afford to offend the Lin family. people.

Compared with offending Emperor Chengsheng, Jia Lian felt that he could only reluctantly give up the property left by Lin Ruhai.And if the young master of the Lin family is not relentless, and makes a big fuss about the matter, saying that Jia's family is greedy for the orphans' property, wouldn't the family be ashamed?The more Jia Lian thought about it, the more he felt that he had to let go.

Seeing Jia Lian's aggrieved appearance and not daring to talk back, Lin Jian felt very happy. He smiled and said, "Since Second Young Master Lian is so knowledgeable, then I'll tell Second Young Master Lian one more thing."

"The killers who came to the Xiaolou to attack and kill you last night are not bad, but you must not know who hired these killers, right? To tell you the truth, these people were secretly hired by Ling Zheng's uncle Wang Ziteng."

Jia Lian was taken aback, why did the killer hired by Wang Ziteng attack him and Lin Daiyu?

After a while, Jia Lian recalled it, and immediately frowned and said, "Master Hou, are you cheating on me?"

This small building was originally prepared by the magistrate of Yangzhou for Lin Jian to live in, but Lin Jian couldn't live there. He was satisfied with it, so he wanted to come and live in it.Now that Lin Jian knew everything, what else did Jia Lian not understand?He was tricked by Lin Jian. Those killers wanted to kill Lin Jian. He was a scapegoat for nothing.

Lin Jian smiled and said, "I told you that you were the one who refused to live in another place."

Jia Lian shuddered suddenly, feeling terrified in his heart, Lin Jian didn't smile coldly this time, but in Jia Lian's heart, he had already classified the young master of the Lin family as a devil.This young man is not easy to contact, this person is really too dangerous.

Jia Lian thought, Lin Jian's heart is really hard. After he refused to change places, Lin Jian didn't insist anymore, and let him and Lin Daiyu be his scapegoats together.Even though Lin Jian saved him and Lin Daiyu later, Jia Lian still felt that Lin Jian was too cruel.

Lin Jian didn't know the inside story of bullying Jia Lian, and he didn't plan to tell Jia Lian the inside story, just fooled him like this, let Jia Lian use his imagination to make up his mind, and he continued to add fuel to the story.

"Second son Lian, the fact that I changed my place to live happened at the first quarter of the unitary hour yesterday, and the group of killers arrived at the last quarter of the day, and there were several hours in the middle, and I didn't block the news. All officials, big and small, know that my residence has changed, but why don't those killers go to my new residence, but still come to your place?"

"I think you should think about it."

The author has something to say: Digression: Let me tell you about Jia Lian saying that he made another windfall.Regarding this paragraph, because the versions are different, I have read three versions in total. ① Give another two or three million silver fortunes; ② Give another thirty to fifty thousand silver fortunes;Because the background of this article is still based on the original work of the Red Chamber, and based on the original work, the dynasties are emptied and events and private settings are expanded, so I chose the third version. [Because my setting is that the annual tax of the big week will fluctuate around several million, and the silver wealth of 300 to 300 million is too exaggerated, so I should be more realistic, so I choose the third version.Hereby explain. 】
