The Immortal Road of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai had long lost due respect for the Jia family, and earlier he could still care about relatives, but after the incidents happened one after another, Lin Ruhai directly withdrew his last bit of respect for the Rongguo Mansion, and started Treat Rongguo Mansion as the head of the Lin family.

Lin Jia is related to each other by marriage, for the sake of the dignity of his wife and children, this is a fact that cannot be changed no matter what.

Then paying attention to Jia's family news all the time became the only thing Lin Ruhai could do at present.

He carefully selected a few sons of the Lin family and sent them to the Rongguo Mansion quietly to work as errands. The Rongguo Mansion was rotten from the root.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help shaking his head, he had so much money to bribe you, why would he go into the mansion as a slave?

In fact, Lin Ruhai also knew what was going on at the root.

The reason why these servants in charge let people in so easily is nothing more than that they don't care about the master's family and are ungrateful for profit.

Seeing the Jia family like this, Lin Ruhai screened the servants of the Lin family again and again, not to mention that they were all loyal, but he must not be like the Jia family, who could find someone who could eat inside and outside with his eyes closed. of.

Speaking of servants, although there are many servants in the Lin family, there are so many servants in the Jia family that Lin Ruhai can hardly speak.A few days ago, I did some calculations by chance, and found that the expenses of all the servants of the Jia family in one year were three or four times that of the masters.

Lin Ruhai had heard from Daiyu before that girls from Jia's family paid two to two months a month, a few sets of clothes and a few pieces of jewelry a season.

This kind of treatment of the girls is very incomprehensible to Lin Ruhai, who loves children.

What is two taels of silver enough for?

Yes, ordinary people's households spend only a dozen or twenty taels of silver a year.But in a family like theirs, two taels of silver a month is not enough for his daughter to buy snacks twice.

Speaking of this, I have to say that the girl raised by the Lin family is different from the Jia family in that the girl is not raised in captivity.

As long as Daiyu brings enough people, she can go shopping, offer incense in the temple, or attend a small tea party with a girl from an official's family, as long as she tells Jia Min branch before going out.

The difference between going out and not going out lies in the cost.

Two years earlier, Lin Ruhai secretly bought two shops for Daiyu behind Jia Min's back.Not too big, not too small, and the location is good.If it is rented out for a year, there is a rent of 1000 taels instead of 800 taels.

In addition to Jia Min's monthly payment of 20 taels of silver to Daiyu, and Lin Ruhai's frequent subsidy of 80 taels of shopping money to his daughter, the sum of these moneys, no matter whether Daiyu can save it or not, is still a surplus in her hands. tight.

And in Lin's house, what Daiyu wanted to eat, did she ask the people on the stove to do it?Even if Daiyu couldn't think of what to eat for a while, when fresh ingredients were added to the stove, she would send the slick-mouthed girl over to say something.

For example, if the little master of the Jia family wanted to eat something, he had to deliver the silver reward first when he went to the kitchen to order an order. In the Lin family...hmph, who dares to treat Daiyu like this, Jia Min can take that People are stewed into the pot alive.

Don't say that Jia Min is cruel, after all, she is Jia's mother's own daughter.The dragon has reverse scales, and if you touch it, you will die.And Daiyu to Jia Min is that piece of reverse scale.

She can beat and scold, whatever.If it were someone else, even Lin Ruhai wouldn't be able to do it.

Daiyu is not short of money, so her hands are loose and tight.Because of this, Jia Min talked about Daiyu twice in front of Lin Ruhai, and even deliberately cut Daiyu's monthly payment, but Lin Ruhai felt that the girl's family is generous, and it's not because of the dime and a half that they are such a family. A girl should be honored.

You say to live thriftily and manage the house properly?

What does this have to do with their Lin family girl?

The Lin family is also a Liehou's family, and the family has a solid foundation.

Moreover, since ancient times, there have been titles, and families with fame and fame do not need to use them. The wealth they have accumulated is not as good as that of the Xue family when it was at its peak.

After all, no matter how rich the Xue family is, they need to manage their business, and they have to pay various taxes when the business is successful.

The Lin family has a thin population, and it has been passed down through several generations. Only those who marry a daughter-in-law, and no daughter-in-law.

In this way, the dowry of several generations of the Lin family's mistress, money begets money, profit begets profit, isn't it all saved up?

Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that only Daiyu, a prodigal girl, has been born in the Lin family for several generations.

It is much cheaper to raise a son than to raise a daughter.

In Daiyu's generation, the Lin family only had two seedlings.Daiyu is Jia Min's biological child again, Lin Ruhai has been looking forward to it for a long time, and it hurts so much that even the children of the unfavored clan can't compare to it.

Jia Min is the daughter of the Duke of Jia's direct descendant, Mrs. Wang has to admit how noble Jia Min was when she was spoiled and spoiled at home.

One must know that if Jia Min is favored again, Mother Jia still has her own son.

But when it came to Daiyu, it was enough for Jia Min to treat her daughter with the same standard as before she left the court.Jia Min doesn't have a son, only such a direct daughter. Does she love Daiyu more than when Jia's mother loved her?

So on the surface, Jia Min was 'mean' to kissing her daughter, but in fact, clothes, jewelry, and all kinds of scattered money were moved into her daughter's room.

It was just saying one thing and doing another in front of Lin Ruhai.After the incident, Lin Ruhai favored Daiyu even more.

The conditions of the Lin family are here.So even though Lin Ruhai knew that his daughter's living standard was a bit high, she was not willing to 'treat' his daughter badly.

But Weiwei Hehe's Rongguo Mansion is so poor that it raises girls and rich raises slaves, it's hard to describe.

This is a long way to go, I only said that Lin Ruhai arranged for people to go to Rongguo Mansion, firstly, to know some news about that mansion in advance, and secondly, to save his wife and children to go to that mansion again, so as not to avoid being bullied. It doesn't work, and the ground should not respond.

I really don't know if it was Lin Ruhai who thought Rongguo Mansion was a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, or if he had some misunderstanding about his wife and daughter.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

According to Lin Ruhai's previous arrangement, what happened in Rongguo Mansion today, if Daiyu didn't suffer a loss and had nothing to do with the Lin family, then it would be tomorrow morning at the earliest.

At this time, Daiyu brought Xichun to Tongzhou, and Lin Ruhai wanted to know what happened as soon as possible, so he could only send someone back to the capital to receive the news.

Hurry up, maybe you can get back before dark.

Lin Ruhai, the head of the family, didn't take the matter of adopting a little girl as a companion for his own daughter very seriously. As long as the little girl knew what she could and couldn't do, Lin Ruhai would let her go.

If there is really something wrong with this girl... Since there is a contract to sever the relationship between father and daughter, Lin Ruhai can definitely find new parents for her and send her away from afar.

Unlike Lin Ruhai's rational thinking, Jia Min still has some affection for Xichun.Now, after getting Lin Ruhai's consent, he sent people to tidy up the courtyard and arranged for servants to wait on him.

Speaking of this, Jia Min complained to Jia Mu again.No matter what, you shouldn't send someone naked.

After so many years of nurturing, just this time, no amount of nurturing grace is gone.

Tang Lang artistically modified and processed this matter, so Jia Min misunderstood her mother again.

I thought that Mother Jia was so anxious that she disregarded the face of the girl's family and made a fool of herself.

God knows these things, Mother Jia didn't take care of them at all.

Those nannies and maids in Xichun had been at a loss for a long time, then suddenly remembered something, packed up their own things, and divided up the things left by Xichun, and ran back to Dongfu and his home from the nearest corner gate between Ningrong and Rongfu.

So even if time has passed, the old lady may not know anything.

There is a difference between closeness and closeness, Jia Min can't arrange Xichun like he arranged Daiyu.But Jia Min can make Xichun's treatment in Lin's family as good as she was in Rongguo Mansion.

There is no time to make clothes and jewelry now, so Jia Min sent people to Daiyu's yard directly, and after finding some clothes that Daiyu didn't wear, he picked out some clothes and jewelry that were honored by officials and various merchants. Send it to the small courtyard that Xichun packed up.

Two big maids, two second-class maids, one needlework embroiderer, four younger maids, and two rough envoys.In the end, Daiyu's foster mother, Mimomo, was transferred, and Xichun's small courtyard was finished.

Xichun's yard was next to Daiyu's yard, and the two sisters lived close to each other, so they could be companions together.

As for why Daiyu's nurturing mother was assigned to Xichun...Jia Min also had good intentions.

What is Xichun's temperament? Is she really what she sees? She is still a hidden traitor. With such a foster nun from the palace watching her, she can feel relieved to some extent.

Another one, Jia Mintu knows what his daughter is like.She learned the rules taught by nunnery very quickly, and she could infer many things without saying it twice, but it was this that made Jia Min happy and worried for a while.

Sending someone to Xichun's place, and the two sisters learning the rules together might have a good influence on Daiyu.

"...When the fourth girl lived in the mansion, her role was the same as that of a girl. When someone came, she asked the sewing girl to make some clothes."

There are only a few masters in the Lin family, and Jia Min specially selected sewing girls for each house, so the clothes of the masters are all made and responsible for them.And some other needlework in the room, such as curtains and bed curtains, are shared among the second and third girls.

"Yes." Xingfei, the eldest girl who was newly mentioned to Xichun, carefully wrote down Jia Min's orders, not daring to underestimate them in the slightest.

Since the girl in the future family is not only the niece of the wife's natal family, but also brought back by the eldest girl of their family, a little negligence will annoy the eldest girl... When Xing Fei thought of this, she dared not slack off.

Jia Min thought for a while, and told people to go down without further instructions.

Glancing at the clock, Jia Min frowned and looked out. It stands to reason that he should be home by now, why hasn't he arrived yet.

At this time, Daiyu and his party had just entered Tongzhou, and Qiaoqiao saw a rouge shop open on the street, so Daiyu took Xichun to pick out rouge powder.

Female goblins feel that shopping and spending is very exciting, and human cubs should be the same.

An hour ago, after Xichun cried a lot, she looked sickly.Daiyu smiled sweetly and handed the small box Zhu Zhu took out to Xichun.

Then he signaled Zhu Zhu to make up a story.

Xichun took the small box with a puzzled face, and found that there were only three things inside.

A jade pendant carved with a Buddha statue, a hollow bracelet whose weight can be known in the hand, and a bamboo hairpin.

"Master Jing said that these three things were specially left to the girl by the girl's biological parents."

"Birth parents?" Daiyu and Xichun looked up at Zhu Zhu fiercely, and asked in unison.

"Yes." Zhu Zhu nodded solemnly, "The girl is actually not a direct bloodline of the Ningguo Mansion, but a cousin girl of the Rongguo Mansion. The girl's biological mother is the concubine daughter of the deceased Duke Rong, and the concubine sister of our wife. Because the old lady There is no room for people, so the aunt and the girl born by the aunt have been quietly raised outside. When the old man was gone, the aunt died. The girl's mother was taken care of by Master Jing. a scholar.

Later, something happened in the court, and the girl's biological father was implicated.The concubine heard the bad news, and not long after giving birth to the girl, she also died of dystocia.Because the girl's biological father had saved Master Jing's life and knew that the girl had no other relatives, he took the girl back to his home.But before the concubine died, she begged Mr. Jing to give these three things to the girl when she grew up, saying that the three things were made by the girl's biological father for the girl... I don't think it was reserved for the girl. Commemoration means something else. "

Daiyu looked at Zhu Zhu with a look of 'you're so stupid'. A goblin is a goblin, and she could still make up such an unwarranted drama.

The well-behaved Jia's patriarch, Fang Dizhi, just proved to be a three-thousand-mile man.But this way, it can make Xichun feel better.He also completely stopped thinking about the Jia family.

It's also very good.

It was the first time Xichun heard such a 'hidden feeling', and she was dumbfounded.

The reason is that her father doesn't want her and ignores her. Is this the reason?

It turned out that she was also a child with parents, and she was born in anticipation... her nose became sore again, and tears began to roll in her eye sockets again.Looking up at Daiyu, Xichun smiled, even though she is still a helpless orphan, her heart warmed up.

The ice wall that had quietly erected in my heart just now melted away instantly as if it had encountered a raging fire.

Feel like the sun shining on your body, warm and happy.

Xichun picked up these three things and looked at them earnestly and piously for a while, and then discovered the secret of these three things.

After opening the organs one by one, Xichun got a total of 10 taels of bank notes, two 1 taels of silver notes, and three 1000 taels of silver notes, for a total of 12 taels of silver notes.

Daiyu's eyes flashed, and she said with emotion, "It's really affectionate. I'm afraid it's all the family property left by my aunt and uncle. Well, I have the dowry in the future."

The author has something to say: the girls have two or two months' money, the big girl has one or two months' money, and the little girl has five hundred and eight hundred dollars.

A master with so many servants......

At twelve o'clock today, there should be an update.
