The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 120 Eight

Although the Jia's family inevitably shirked a thing or two when it came to choosing candidates to come to Yangzhou, the final result was always good.

As the only heir of the Rongguo Mansion and the nephew of Jia Min's direct relative, Jia Lian made a special trip to Yangzhou for the Lin family.

——Of course, the premise is that Jia Lian didn't sell his teammates out of the way.

Although the transportation and communication these days are a little inconvenient because the hardware facilities can't keep up, after all, it's not so hopeless.

At least money can turn ghosts around. If you can be willing to part with the money itself and have little power, even if you may not be able to have the speed of "returning a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day", you will never delay too long in places where you can travel by water.

When Jia Lian arrived, Lin Ruhai was indeed terminally ill, but at least he still had a few days to live.

If nothing happened, when Jia Min passed away, he was worried that Lin Ruhai would marry another person, which would make his daughter wronged or make Daiyu bear the burden of losing her mother and eldest daughter, so it would be difficult to find a marriage. The wife's natal mother takes care of and teaches.Although Jia Min was no longer around at that time, Lin Ruhai himself was still in a high position, so he was not worried that the Yue family would treat their daughter badly, so naturally he would not investigate too much.And when he passed away, Daiyu had already lived in the Rongguo Mansion for several years, and she never mentioned the grievances she had suffered in the Jia Mansion in front of her old father. Lin Ruhai only felt that There is no need to worry about the daughter's success. In addition, Jia's mother said that Daiyu will be promised to Jia Baoyu, who has a promising future, and Lin Ruhai is intimidated by Jia's mother. match.

But now without the trust entrusted in the past few years, and knowing that the future of Jia Zheng's sons is bleak, it is naturally impossible for Lin Ruhai to easily believe what Baoyu said in Jia's mother's previous letter.Seeing that Daiyu is about to become a helpless orphan girl, even though Lin Ruhai really trusted his wife and Yue's family before, he would not dare to hand over her daughter without asking. When someone came, I had to ask carefully about the situation in Jia's mansion.

Lin Ruhai was able to sit in this position, and his rank was naturally not comparable to that of a fledgling young man like Jia Lian. Even Jia Lian knew the truth that one prospers all prospers and one loses all. When I came down, I explained many things at home.

The only thing that is gratifying is that Jia Lian is ignorant of many secret things in Rongguo Mansion, and the things that can be tricked out are some ordinary things in Rongguo Mansion.

Even such incomplete news is enough to arouse Lin Ruhai's vigilance.

Because of Wang Xifeng's illness, the grandmother in charge of Jia's house now happens to be Li Wan, Jia Lian's daughter-in-law.Li Wan's housekeeping skills are actually far inferior to Sister Feng's, and she is not as self-sufficient as Wang Xifeng, but like Sister Feng, when Jia's family is struggling to make ends meet, she works hard and even uses her own dowry to subsidize it. It could never happen to Li Wan.

Although the Jia family didn't have to spend a lot of money to support their mother, since they didn't have any relatives like the Lin family and the Xue family to join them, this large sum of money was not included in the account.

Originally, although most of the Jia family's financial difficulties were due to the huge cost of supporting a lady, the Jia family's own ostentation expenses also contributed a lot.

When Sister Feng was in charge of the family, she could still manage to maintain a balance of income and expenditure, and even she could make a little profit from it. Now, Li Wan, who is not as capable as Sister Feng in terms of means, can imagine the result.

Even if the Li family had added some dowry items to Li Wan, her dowry seemed flimsy in the eyes of the Jia family.Rongguo Mansion's rations sound like they have everything, but it takes time to realize that those things are actually useless at all, but anyone who thinks about a little better has to pay for it by himself.Li Wan has lived in Jia's family for many years, and she knows the way here. Before, she felt that she lacked confidence and had no rights in her hands, so she could only live her life carefully. Jia She's favorite, Jia She held all the private houses of the first Rong Guogong and his wife and her mother-in-law's dowry in his hands, and was willing to subsidize his grandchildren, so Li Wan would not worry about money.

Now Li Wan felt that he had given birth to many children and had established himself, and happened to have power in his hands, even if he still didn't dare to go too far, he couldn't help but add something to his private list.

Originally, the Jia family's income was barely enough to maintain their own life, and the housekeeper couldn't help filling their own pockets. This was something that could be expected.Li Wan didn't want to take the blame for the shortfall on himself, but told Jia Lian about the current financial situation of his family.

Because the money in the Jia family's old treasury is still there, and the average monthly deficit is not too much, it did not arouse the vigilance of the Jia family.

However, it aroused the vigilance of Lin Ruhai who heard about it.

It's nothing to make ends meet, but it can reflect the current situation of the Jia family's declining status, and it makes him realize that the entire Jia family has no positive attitude towards changing the status quo.

Although the Jia family can still operate in a short period of time, it is not a long-term solution to sit and eat, and we have to find other income.

Now there is only one orphan girl in the Lin family holding a lot of wealth. If she really goes to the Jia family, there is no guarantee that no one will be jealous. If the housekeeper's heart is a little darker, I am afraid that Daiyu's future dowry money will be greatly reduced.

It can't be blamed that Lin Ruhai doesn't trust the Yue family, it's really touching people's hearts.Now Lin Ruhai is only thinking of his only little girl in his heart, so naturally he does not hesitate to make the most thorough preparations for the worst.

In addition, Jia Lian accidentally leaked about the mutual evasion in the Rongguo Mansion before this visit, which made Lin Ruhai even more vigilant—even though the old lady of Jia's family has some affection for Lin Daiyu, her brother-in-law's attitude may not necessarily be the same. How enthusiastic she is, she can't let her really be so stupid and sweet.

There are too few relatives in the Lin family, so knowing that there are many hidden dangers in the Jia family, Lin Ruhai actually has no choice but to leave his daughter behind as much as possible within his ability.

Lin Ruhai has been an official for many years, and he doesn't know how many classmates and colleagues there are. There are always one or two close friends among them. Even if the relationship between these people is not close enough to make him justifiable, if he only wants to take care of his own daughter in the future, it will not be difficult.

Money is certainly touching, and Daiyu carrying all the Lin family's wealth alone is like a three-year-old child carrying gold and walking in the downtown area, but most famous and wealthy families always want to save face, entrusting Daiyu to a certain family is hard to keep people's hearts from changing , but if a few more families are selected to restrain each other, even if they have to give up some money, the safety will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

It took almost one and a half months from when Jia Lian moved into Lin's residence to when Lin Ruhai died of a serious illness.During this period of time, Lin Ruhai only kept his daughter by his side to wait on him, so he could give her extra care, and then asked the housekeeper of the Lin family to take Jia Lian for a tour of Yangzhou.

On the surface, Lin Ruhai sent many people out secretly—he had already divided the Lin family’s property into several shares, except for the one that the Jia family took away on the surface, he also separated a lot of things and even lists. Entrust a few close friends, colleagues and classmates.Although this may not be foolproof, at least Lin Ruhai did his best.

----split line----

Lin Ruhai's funeral was not so lively.

This is not surprising, after all, it is unavoidable for people to go cold and warm.The Lin family doesn't even have a male heir, so it's so deserted that people can't look forward to what will happen in the future.

That is to say, Jia Lian was there anyway, and seeing the face of the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, some people were willing to join in the fun.In addition, Lin Ruhai wrote to many friends and colleagues early on, and many of them who were officials nearby would naturally come to see him off for the last time. Come to condolences one or two.

Even so, it was much quieter than when Jia Min passed away.

Although Lin Ruhai had sent a lot of belongings to another house for safekeeping, and even part of this action had already been carried out before Jia Lian's arrival, but after all, his time was limited and Jia Lian's actions in the mansion should not be too big. In the end, half of the things were left behind. Two days before Lin Ruhai passed away, they had already sorted out the booklet and handed it over to Jia Lian for safekeeping.

The Jia family actually didn't know much about the property of the Lin family. At most, they could estimate from the Lin family's generous gifts every year that the Lin family's property was always not thin, but no one had an approximate understanding of the specific figures. Much like home.

In fact, the family property of the Lin family is much richer than that of the Jia family.

The Lin family used to be a gentry family. After the founding of the current dynasty, there were five generations of princes. Lin Ruhai was in charge of the richest salt government in the south of the Yangtze River. What's more, the Lin family had only one child in each generation, and there was no such thing as children and grandchildren. Compared with Jia's family, this property is much richer than the Jia family's expenses.So even though Lin Ruhai had already hidden half of the family's belongings, only the remaining half looked pretty good.

Although the remaining half may not be as rich as Rongguo Mansion's family, but just thinking that this huge family wealth will only belong to Sister Lin in the future, it is worth admiring.

But the amazement is the amazement, at least right now because life in the Rongguo Mansion is not so tight, even if Jia Lian is determined to get some lucrative money from this errand, he will not devour the wealth of an orphan girl's family.

After all, it is ominous to be greedy for people and wealth. Unless you are really short of money, no one is willing to do such a thing that is harmful to morality.In addition, Lin Ruhai didn't seal up all the things for Lin Daiyu, he always prepared a big gift for Jia's family, which accounted for almost [-]% of the remaining things of Lin's family. It is also a good choice to scrape a layer of oil and water from here.

This is a normal update...

I still owe a chapter from last month...

Thinking about the upcoming Spring Festival, I feel that the stupid author is going crazy...

I probably won’t make it up again years ago, mainly because the author has to save the manuscript for the Spring Festival.

The company computer is not allowed to do private work, so I have already relied on mobile phone code words to upload After half a year...
