The Fate of the Red Chamber

Chapter 25: Mistake

At first, Jia Lian was stunned when he heard the news that Lin Ruhai had gone, because in the past few days, he kept hearing that Master Lin's health was starting to improve. Jia Lian was considering whether to return to the capital first, but unexpectedly news of his death came out suddenly.

Although he was a little sad, but after all, his mind was relaxed. He was just waiting for this day. Now that Lin Ruhai is gone, the Lin family only has a boy like Lin Mohan and a girl like Daiyu, so what can happen.It's not that my cousin needs to take care of everything. At that time, everything in the Lin Mansion is naturally in my hands, and I'm not afraid that I won't get any benefits.

Therefore, Jia Lian didn't say anything except going to offer incense to Lin Ruhai, and waited for Mo Han to take care of him with peace of mind.Unexpectedly, yesterday night and this morning at such a short time, the Lin family actually took care of everything. Jia Lian couldn't believe such a speed, but he didn't expect Lin Mohan to be so clever.

No, Jia Lian couldn't sit still in just one day, especially when he heard that Lin Mohan had entrusted the reception of guests in the mansion to some young master of the Liu family. It's really not a good thing for outsiders to help.

I was afraid that Mo Han would take advantage of these days to transfer the property of the Lin family through his friends. In the end, the Lin family was left with an empty shell, and Jia Lian's mother's family immediately became angry, and sent a servant to invite Mo Han to meet his cousin .

Although Mo Han hated Jia Lian with all his heart, he was Daiyu's cousin after all, not to mention that Daiyu still had deep feelings for Jia's family now, if she was too self-effacing, Daiyu might feel uncomfortable, so she had to be with him. Play around.

"Second Brother Lian, once my father is gone, my sister and I are left to depend on each other. Thanks to Second Brother Lian taking care of everything, otherwise I don't know what it will be like." Just a few words made Jia Lian feel elated, as if he was supporting the current situation in the Lin family.

Jia Lian felt relieved, and the anger on his face naturally subsided a lot. He put on his elder brother's loving attitude, and forcefully squeezed out a few tears: "I don't want my uncle to just go like this. I really feel very uncomfortable in my heart. You He and Sister Lin also need to express their condolences. Anyway, I am also your cousin, and these things are not my responsibility. You have to keep watch every day, and you have to be a director, so just leave it to me if you are too busy. I will definitely take care of it for you, and treat it as my filial piety to my uncle."

Listen to this, what a considerate and enthusiastic elder brother, he is so thoughtful about his siblings, and he works tirelessly.

Mo Han was even more upset. He was not ashamed of the hypocrisy of the Jia family, and he dealt with it wholeheartedly: "Second Brother Lian, I feel at ease with your words. To be honest, I don't know much about the affairs of the house, and I have to send my father off again. I also have to take care of my younger sister, so I really can't get away. I was looking for a close relative to entrust the matter to me, but there was no suitable candidate for the time being. Now that the second brother Lian said this, it would be great. Do it Brothers are also welcome. Everything depends on Lao Lian's second brother."

Jia Lian originally thought that since Mo Han was able to take care of the funeral so well, he must be a difficult person to deal with, so he made a statement whenever he thought of a word, and he was very happy.Patting his chest and yelling, even if he is on him.

In fact, according to the old lady's plan, she took the siblings to Beijing after Lin Ruhai's funeral, and then slowly took control of the Lin family business. Although this plan is clever, it's a pity that Jia Lian may not be able to get a tael of silver when the time comes. I can catch it.It's better to take the opportunity to coax a little out of the money, because it's all in Jia Lian's own pocket.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mo Han reasoned that he had gone in beforehand.Jia Lian got the right to manage affairs, and just wanted to send Mo Han away as soon as possible, so he didn't have the mood to deal with him again, so he repeatedly said he was relieved.

Without further ado, Jia Lian went to the accountant's office, trying to call out the Lin family's account book to calculate how much money was left.But he really underestimated Mo Han. Mo Han had been prepared for a long time, and he told him to go down last night. The second master Lian of the Jia family had someone to take it from him. Just push the tricks on him.

Therefore, just as Jia Lian took the limelight as a steward, he was repeatedly frustrated in less than a day. After a busy day, he didn't get a tael of silver, and he didn't even touch any account books.Jia Lian was so angry that he got used to several teacups and got nothing for two days.Youxin took advantage of the chaos to take some things out to sell, but there seemed to be eyes staring at him everywhere in Pianlin's mansion, and he couldn't even bring out a single stitch.

Jia Lian completely gave up his desire to collect money, he didn't know that this was Mo Han's trick, he thought it was someone from the Lin family who deliberately made things difficult for him.It's just that it's hard to talk about this kind of thing, so you can't complain about not giving him more money, then it won't embarrass the Rongguo Mansion.

On the third day, relatives and friends from far and near came to pay their respects one by one.As usual, when people left for tea, there were only two children left in the Lin family, and how many people cared about them. Unexpectedly, almost all the people who had been friends with the Lin family came here.In addition to the several great families and government officials in the south of the Yangtze River who came to participate in the adoption ceremony that day, there were also famous families such as He Puzhao, Governor of Liangjiang, Lujiazhuang in Yangzhou, Tang family in Wuzhong, Zhou family in Hangzhou, and Xu family in Shaoxing.

The difference from the last time is that this time there are many housewives.The inner courtyard cannot be empty, and Daiyu is extremely weak, and is even more heartbroken. Mo Han invited the second aunt of the Cha family, the wife of Mr. Zhang Rong, the prefect of Gusu, to take charge of the inner courtyard, which is quite clear. , there is nothing wrong with it.

With so many important figures coming, no one dared to underestimate the Lin family. Those with or without connections did not forget to talk about it. Lin Ruhai's funeral was extremely grand.

On the morning of the fifth day after Lin Ruhai left, Mo Han and Daiyu went to the coffin and wept bitterly. When they were about to leave, they heard that there was a lot of panic outside. It’s here, sir, hurry up to receive the order.”
