[Red Mansion] Chronicles of a Girl in the Lin Family

Shui Jing didn't know where Shi Hao's home was, so he had to ask Lu Ziqiu to carry him into the carriage together, and went back to the house that Lu Ziqiu had built himself.

Nothing else, except that when he left Guiyuan Building, the restaurant owner's eyes always made him feel like he was looking at a trafficker.If it weren't for the two of them dressed in extraordinary clothes, Lu Ziqiu was fighting against another thin scholar in ragged clothes, and he might have reported to the police on the spot to arrest them.

After they asked someone to tidy up Shi Hao, it was already Shen Shi.

Because of Shi Hao's matter, Shui Jing also wanted to ask him about the specific situation after he woke up, so he didn't bother to go back to the palace today, so he just found someone to go back to the palace and talk to the queen, and then stayed in Lu Ziqiu's place. In the house.

The two entered the study room and sat face to face, looking at each other silently.

Shui Jing didn't know what to say, but Lu Ziqiu didn't want to talk.

Silence spread in this quiet room.

After being silent for a long time, Shui Jing let out a long sigh and said, "I didn't know that such a thing could happen in this capital."

Lu Ziqiu was very calm, even a little indifferent: "This kind of thing happens every day, it just depends on who is lucky enough to meet a noble person. Just like Shi Hao today, if he hadn't met you, it would have been impossible to talk about him ten times. No one will believe it, and those who are more ruthless will even tell the Rongguo Mansion, and at that time, whether Shi Hao's life can be saved or not is another matter."

Shui Jing frowned and said: "I didn't expect that Ning Rong's second residence would act like this on weekdays, and I don't know who gave them such courage!"

Lu Ziqiu was playing with a half-old purse in his hand, and said: "It's just that the four princes and eight princes are intertwined and rely on each other. If there is only one Rongguo Mansion or one Ningguo Mansion, naturally there is nothing to be afraid of. They just supported each other, and after so many years, they have been tied together. If something happens to them, I don't know how many people will be involved."

Shui Jing smiled wryly: "I thought I had dealt with so many corrupt officials since I came to power, but I didn't expect that the biggest one was right under my nose! Here I only see Shi Hao, but I don't know where I haven't seen yet. How many Shi Hao, Zhang Hao, and Li Hao are there! He happened to meet me today, and he can defend him, but other people... Alas!" At the end, he couldn't continue, shaking his head again and again. Full of sorrow and shame.

It was rare for Lu Ziqiu to comfort him: "It's not all a bad thing. If you know about Shi Hao today, you will naturally know that there are many Shi Hao in the world. What's more, you haven't prepared for it long ago. Do you want to investigate the four kings and eight princes and others? What happened to Shi Hao today is an opportunity. Starting with Shi Hao, I am afraid that many things will be found. Even if the emperor is standing behind them, they will not be able to protect them. "

Shui Jing said: "You can see clearly. They are so arrogant now because they are still standing behind the emperor. They are sure that the emperor is soft-hearted. As long as it is not a serious crime, they will always be spared! Look at the Ningguo Mansion today. A funeral costs so much, they have no money to repay the debt owed by the Ministry of Accounts, but they have so much money to spend on these things! The national treasury is empty, but their private treasury is full of gold and silver!"

When it comes to the debt owed by the Ministry of Households, Shui Jing is even more annoyed.

In the past two years, I don’t know where the wind came from. Those noble officials asked the Ministry of Households to borrow money one after another. The emperor didn’t say anything because of the friendship of the founding of the country, and just let them borrow.After a long time, the accumulated arrears reached tens of millions of taels of silver!The Jiangnan Zhen family alone owed 300 million yuan!The rest of the families are not much better, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions, and every household owes money to the state treasury!

Due to the emptiness of the national treasury, Shui Jing was devastated by the debts owed by the Ministry of Households just as he ascended the throne, but before he began to fully enjoy the rights brought by the throne.Disaster relief?no money!Build dikes?no money!Paying money?no money!Whatever you want to do, you have no money, no money, no money!

This money was the most necessary money, but in the end the household department couldn't get any of it out. In the end, Shui Jing opened his own private treasury and borrowed some money from the queen, so he managed to scrape together the money.

An emperor, but he has to worry about money matters, and how many people will laugh his ass off when he tells it!

Because of this incident, Shui Jing finally became ruthless and ordered someone to recover the debt, but the matter was far more difficult than he thought.

It is probably true as the folk saying goes, the one who owes money is Uncle Fan.Those who owed the official bank began to cry when they saw the people he sent, either that they had no money at home or they were trying to find a way, but they couldn't get it for the time being.After all, they just wrangled with them, but they didn't pay back the money.

Shui Jing really had no other choice, and he didn't want to tear himself apart with these old officials as soon as he took office, he was afraid that he would accidentally gain a reputation of being intolerant.So after much deliberation, I prepared to find the emperor to come forward.

However, before he had time to look for the emperor, the emperor called someone to look for him.He didn't know why, and thought that the emperor knew about this matter and planned to take the initiative to share his worries, so he went happily.

I don't want to be scolded bloody as soon as I arrived at the emperor's place!It turned out that someone sued the emperor because of his begging for official money.The person who filed the complaint was none other than the Zhen family from Jiangnan!

The Zhen family borrowed two to three million yuan in official bank from the Ministry of Households because of the emperor's trip to the south of the Yangtze River several times.The Ministry of Households was unwilling to lend him at first, but only agreed because the emperor wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River.However, it is said that the two 300 million yuan was spent on receiving the emperor, but among them, it is unknown how many were corrupted by the Zhen family.

The total debt owed by the household department is only ten million, but the Zhen family accounts for the majority.If the Zhen family can be forced to repay the loan, it will not only delay the emptiness of the national treasury, but also intimidate other debtors so that they will return all the owed money earlier.Therefore, after Shui Jing decided to investigate the arrears, the first person he approached was the Zhen family.

Zhen's family is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, because of the honor of taking over the emperor's car twice, and because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, he has become the local emperor of the south of the Yangtze River.Coupled with the fact that they had Taifei Zhen who accompanied the emperor as their backer, their arrogance became even more arrogant.This time when I met the people sent by Shui Jing, they spoke politely, but turned around and wrote to Concubine Zhen, saying that Shui Jing had treated the veterans harshly, and begged the emperor to make decisions for them!

When the emperor was young, he was also a wise and powerful man. However, as he got older, he began to slowly indulge in pleasure. At the same time, he also suffered from the common problems of ordinary old people: forgetfulness and soft-heartedness.In addition, after he has been the emperor for so many years and enjoyed the greatest power in the world, it is difficult to ask him to let go.Although now he has to abdicate with Shui Jing due to physical reasons, but in his heart he is always looking forward to regaining power.

This time I listened to Concubine Zhen's bedside talk, partly because I remembered how good it was when the Zhen family took over, and more because I wanted to take advantage of this incident to kill Shui Jing's prestige and tell Although he is old and has abdicated to become the Supreme Emperor, since he could let Shui Jing take the throne, he can naturally let him go now!

Shui Jing also thought that the Taihuang was bewitched by the Zhen family and didn't know the details, so he planned to ask the Taihuang to calm down and talk to him.However, as soon as he mentioned this matter, he saw the Taihuang flew into a rage again.Only then did he understand that the Taihuang knew everything.He knew that the national treasury was empty, he knew that the amount owed was huge, and he knew why Shui Jing wanted to recover the debt,

Yet he doesn't care.

All he cares about is himself and power.

After realizing this, Shui Jing's heart went cold.He listened to the emperor's scolding with his head down, and finally heard the emperor say "get out", kowtowed to the emperor, went out, and never mentioned the debt owed by the household department again.

After that day, Shui Jing never went to the Emperor's place again.The investigation of the arrears of the Ministry of Accounts also stopped, and they only stared at other places to find ways to get some money to enrich the treasury.

Selling an official is one of the impossible ways.

Shui Jing, who sells officials below, actually knows all about it, and it was he who signaled Dai Quan to do it.Although Dai Quan was someone close to the emperor, he had already secretly taken refuge in Shui Jing because of the kindness of Shui Jing's mother and concubine for saving his life.If not, Shui Jing could not win the emperor's heart in the end and inherit the throne.

Most of the money Dai Quan got from selling his official position went into his private treasury, which is part of the reason why the treasury was empty when a group of people asked him for money and he was able to take it out.

In the past two years, although he has no longer been obsessed with the matter of owed money, he has begun to investigate the Zhen family and the four kings and eight princes, just to find some evidence so that these people can be brought together, and they can also use this to copy. Their family wealth has refilled the treasury.

It's a pity that due to the power of these few companies, half of the investigations are often completed but the clues are broken.Occasionally there are some reliable crimes, but they are all crimes committed by side branches, and they cannot shake their foundation.

But this time, Lin Ruhai gave him a solid surprise in his report to Beijing.

Lin Ruhai has stayed in Yangzhou for more than ten years and has a deep understanding of Yangzhou officialdom.This time when he went to Beijing, some of the things he brought were related to the Zhen family, and the things written in it were enough to bring down the Zhen family.

At the same time, Lin Ruhai also brought another thing, which helped Shui Jing relieve the urgent need of the national treasury—he paid back the 60 taels owed by the Lin family.

Although it sounds like 60 taels does not account for much of the [-] million taels owed, the repayment of this arrears is enough to make up for the shortfall in the salary sent to the northwest this year, and there is still a lot left.

Thinking of this, Shui Jing looked at Lu Ziqiu who was playing with the purse with admiration, and sighed: "Your future father-in-law is a fine man!"

Lu Ziqiu replied: "Since you think he is smart, then let him get a real job."

Shui Jing laughed: "It is said that when a girl's family gets married, her heart goes to her husband's family. I don't think you haven't married the girl today, so you are thinking about their family?"

Lu Ziqiu didn't refute, just said: "Master Lin is very skillful, even so, why not make good use of it."

Shui Jing also said after hearing this: "You can see it clearly, even if you don't mention it today, I will give him a real job in the future. If such a talent is only taught to take a salary when he is idle, it will be humiliating to him. After that, he looked at the purse Lu Ziqiu was holding, and said, "Where did you get this purse? It looks like a girl's handicraft. Let me tell you, since you have already taken a fancy to the girl from the Lin family, don't worry about it." I'm going to provoke people from other families again. Don't imitate your father and hurt their hearts. "

After hearing Shui Jing's words, Lu Ziqiu got up and left, giving Shui Jing a cold back.When he reached the door, Lu Ziqiu stopped, without turning his head, he only said in a low voice: "Before you talk about me, the emperor might as well think about the concubines in the backyard of the palace." After a pause, he continued: "She gave this purse herself My, I won't break her heart." After saying that, he went straight out the door without a single pause, and went back to his room.

Shui Jing also knew that he was very dissatisfied with the empress's many concubines in his harem, so he didn't get angry with him after hearing this disrespectful words.He just thought of the queen who had been with him for many years, and the group of Yingying and Yanyan in the harem, and he couldn't say anything to refute.In the final analysis, he still betrayed the queen and broke their promise.

Mo Yun didn't know about the conversation between the two in the Rongguo Mansion, she just lived her life quietly in the Rongguo Mansion, and planned to wait for Qin Keqing's funeral to be over, and then bid farewell to Mother Jia with Daiyu and go home safely. .It was precisely because of Qin Keqing's funeral that Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng went to the Tiekan Temple on the outskirts of the city.When Mrs. Wang came back in the evening, Jia's mother saw that Baoyu had not returned, so she asked a few questions. Mrs. Wang said that Baoyu was still in the Tiekan Temple and was accompanied by Wang Xifeng. That's it.

Two days later, Qin Keqing's funeral was finally over, Mo Yun found a free time and asked the little maid to send a letter to Wang Xifeng, and then she was about to leave.Lin Ruhai had received Mo Yun's letter a long time ago, and he just came to pick it up on this day.

As early as the day before, Mo Yun and the others had already packed up their things, and seeing their father coming to pick them up, they said goodbye to Jia Mu.Mother Jia wanted to stay longer, but Mo Yun and the others insisted on going home.Seeing that she couldn't stay, Jia's mother also gave up this idea, she just explained a lot to Mo Yun and the others with tears, and asked them to come and see often.Mo Yun and the others agreed, and then went home in a carriage.

On the other hand, Jia Baoyu came back the next day, and when he learned that Sister Lin had left, he made a fuss.In the end, Jia Zheng was sacrificed, which made him a little more peaceful.It's just that he still clings to Jia's mother every day, and asks her to pick up Sister Lin again.

After returning to their own home, Mo Yun and the others finally felt that they had found their home.When I was in Rongguo Mansion before, although the people in the mansion didn't dare to treat them badly because of Mother Jia, they were guests in other people's homes and had to be careful in every move, not as relaxed as in their own home.

Because everything in the house has been tidied up, and Lin Ru handed over all the things he had to Shui Jing when he went to Beijing, and took out most of his family property to pay back the money owed by the treasury, he was very fond of Shui Jing. Jing showed his allegiance.Therefore, on the day when Lin Ruhai officially went to the imperial court, Shui Jing was also very generous, and even granted him the position of Zhengqing in the Dali Yuan, and granted him the title of Prince Shaofu, saying that it was to reward Lin Ruhai for taking the initiative to return the owed money, which surprised him very much. some.

In Lin Ruhai's mind, it is good to be able to rise up a little bit and get a job as a cabinet bachelor, but he doesn't want Shui Jing to be so generous and ask him to make up for it.With this incident, Lin Ruhai felt more at ease, knowing that Shui Jing knew what he meant, and planned to continue using him.It's just that after a few months, Lin Ruhai knew what Shui Jing really meant, and how angry he was, I won't talk about it here.

Lin Ruhai was overjoyed to be promoted.Not only the Lin family, but also the Jia family couldn't help being overjoyed when they found out.

Mother Jia heard the good news from Jia Zheng, who had fallen from the imperial court. She kept chanting Buddha's blessings, and asked people to prepare gifts for a while, then changed her mind and asked people to pick up Mo Yun and the others. No, she hurriedly called back the previous person and told him to prepare the chariots and horses, and she went to Lin's residence in person.Instead, turn around the entire Jia family's instigation.

In the Rongguo Mansion, there are those who are sincerely happy for the Lin family, and naturally there are also those who are not happy.Mrs. Wang is one of them.

Since she was a child, she loved to compare with Jia Min. No matter in terms of figure, appearance, or knowledge, she believed that she could not lose to Jia Min.But in terms of marriage, she married Jia Zheng, a prudish person who was still the fifth-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry after so many years.However, Jia Min married Lin Hai, who became a doctor of Lantai Temple at a young age, and later promoted to a third-rank patrol salt censor!The person she married was full of ethics and morality, a gentleman and a gentleman, but he never refused to beauties.The one that Jia Min married had several concubines, but after listening to Jia's mother read Jia Min's letter, she knew that Lin Hai had never touched any of these concubines!Every time she thinks of this, it makes her feel so distressed that she cannot sleep.

Later, every time she couldn't sleep, she secretly cursed Jia Min in her heart, cursing her to die sooner!Why should I not miss you in the slightest? You are living so comfortably, but it is extremely difficult for me.I don't know if it was true that her curse took effect, but Jia Min went there not long after.After she found out, the ecstasy in her heart almost overflowed.Even during that time, she was scolded several times by Mother Jia, but it couldn't change her good mood.

Until Mo Yun came.

Mo Yun is going to run in the general election.

This incident alone made her resentful again.Her Yuanchun was obviously born on the first day of the first month of the first month of the first lunar month, but in the end, for the sake of the family, Xiaoxuan entered the palace, doing the work of slaves every day, struggling in the palace.That was also her daughter who was so pampered and spoiled!

Jia Min's daughter, but because her father was in the third rank and had a good time, she was able to be elected to the palace. If she was elected, she would be a concubine, a concubine, and she would have to bear the burden of Yuan Chun!It's hard to call her Yuanchun!by!turn!body!

Every day when she sees Mo Yun, she feels pain in her heart, wishing she could eat her flesh and drink her blood!She began to curse Mo Yun day and night again, but this time, for some reason, her curse never succeeded again.Not only did Mo Yun not die, but she got better and better and more beautiful.

Later, Lin Ru went to Beijing, Dai Yu and Ping An came.Her heart became more and more wrinkled, and she just felt that she was soaked in sour water every day, and it was sour even to ask her to swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Today, good news came from the Lin family again. Lin Ruhai was promoted two ranks in a row and became the Minister of the Dali Academy!She just felt that she was so sore that she could hardly breathe, but she still could only watch with a dignified smile on her face as Jiamu sent one good thing after another to celebrate Lin Ruhai's promotion.

Jia Wang Shixue's four families now, except Wang Ziteng, who is now in charge of a second-rank post in the capital of the nine provinces, the others are just bearing the title of Xijue, and they are not very promising.Jia Jiaben also had a man named Jia Jing, but he didn't know why he resigned as an official after a short time and went to practice Taoism and alchemy.

Originally, there was Jia Zheng, who was once the hope of the Jia family, but after so many years, seeing that he was still stuck in the position of the fifth-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry, everyone's hopes for him were also dissipated.

Now that she suddenly found out that her in-law Lin Ruhai has become a second-rank official, Mother Jia is not surprised.Although the Lin family is only relatives by marriage, if they become more relatives, how can it prevent the Jia family from prospering again!Jia's mother began to pay attention to the pairing of the two Yu'er.

Mother Jia really planned to come to the door by herself, but she was finally persuaded by Mrs. Wang with unreasonable excuses.In the end, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng got this job and went to the Lin Mansion to congratulate them together. At the same time, they also got Jia's mother's order to find a way to bring Daiyu back from the Lin Mansion.

Wang Xifeng agreed with a smile on his face, but his face turned into disdain when he got into the carriage.

Seeing this, Jia Lian, who was already on the carriage, grinned and came up, pulled Wang Xifeng and said, "Who messed with my grandma again? Tell the second master, I'll vent my anger on grandma!"

As it is already more than May, the weather is gradually starting to heat up.Wang Xifeng was already sweating from the heat, but when she saw Jia Lian approaching, she quickly pushed him away, and said angrily, "You are not afraid of getting sweaty if you come here in this hot weather!"

Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng's hand and said, "If I can get close to grandma, I don't mind being sweaty all over, even two and three. By the way, grandma didn't say what happened just now, but called out." What does grandma look like?"

Wang Xifeng shot him a glance, but finally leaned on Jia Lian and said: "It's not my good aunt. You didn't see it just now, but the old ancestor asked me to pick up Sister Lin back to the mansion. Her eyes are almost as white as the sky. Yes. With a stubborn smile on his face, it's like no one can see it!"

Jia Lian frowned and said, "The old ancestor asked you to take Sister Lin back? What is this for? Uncle Lin may be willing?"

Wang Xifeng nodded his head with the hand painted with Dan Kou, and said: "You still can't see it? You've grown so big!"

Jia Lian didn't mind, instead she leaned closer and said, "Isn't it because I don't understand that I begged grandma for clarification. If I know everything, how can I bring out grandma's intelligence, right?"

Wang Xifeng laughed happily after hearing Jia Lian's flattery, and said to him, "You still can talk! Then I'll come and have a good talk with you."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, straightened his face and said to Jia Lian: "Actually, it's not my fault that you don't understand. After all, few of you men can understand the matter in the backyard. The ancestor told us this time. Sister Lin took them back for one thing only: to make Daiyu and Baoyu a pair."

Jia Lian was puzzled after hearing this and said, "Uncle Lin lives in the second rank, and my second uncle is only a servant of the Ministry of Industry, and Baoyu is so ignorant of the world. How could my uncle agree to marry sister Lin to Baoyu? Isn't the old man crazy? ?”

Wang Xifeng laughed mockingly.Continued: "This is why the ancestors asked us to pick up Sister Lin and go back. If Sister Lin is taken over and raised together with Baoyu, Baoyu is used to pity and cherish jade. After a long time, I am afraid that the two of them will be together." No feelings? If it’s not possible, let’s spread some rumors about the two of them, even if Uncle Lin doesn’t want to, what else can we do? Don’t we still have to marry Sister Lin to Baoyu?”

After hearing this, Jia Lian finally understood a little bit, and couldn't help secretly feeling the horror of the women in the backyard, but he still didn't understand: "Uncle Lin has a younger sister, Lin, and Ping An, who inherits his family business. If you want to please, you must please." Ping An, why do you want Baoyu to marry Sister Lin? Why not find Tanchun or Xichun to promise Ping An? After all, most of the Lin family property is safe, and Sister Lin can only get some dowry."

Wang Xifeng never knew that Jia Lian could be so stupid. She said it so clearly, but he still couldn't make sense of it, so he patted him lightly and said, "You still don't understand? Mo Yun is destined to participate in the general election." If she is chosen, she will be the emperor's concubine in the future, which is different from Yuanchun. Besides, there will be Uncle Lin behind her, so a concubine will definitely not be able to escape at that time. You also saw the Lin family going to Beijing. Ping'an is also a good thing, and the future is limitless. What's more, people in the world demand more affluence from men. If something bad for Ping'an is reported, at most, he will laugh and be young and flirtatious. At that time, his reputation will be over. It's not bad, what's bad is the reputation of our daughter of the Jia family." Speaking of this, Wang Xifeng felt a little dry mouth, and was about to pour a cup of tea to moisten his throat.

Seeing this, Jia Lian hurriedly stopped Wang Xifeng, poured a cup of tea for her, handed it to her mouth, and said flatteringly to Wang Xifeng: "Grandma, drink water!"

Wang Xifeng was very grateful for his gentleness and care. She picked up his hand and drank the tea, and continued: "Of course, the ancestors would not be so stupid if they knew that it couldn't be done. It is Sister Lin. Behind Sister Lin is the father of a second-rank official, an older sister who is very likely to become a concubine, and a younger brother who will become a great talent in the future. I am good-looking, well-educated, and of a family background. Quite, even a little taller than our family, and the dowry I brought is also generous. If you are asked to marry, will you marry or not?"

Jia Lian listened to Wang Xifeng's description, thinking that if he was really allowed to choose, he would naturally be willing to choose, so he nodded quickly and said: "With such a good thing, I am naturally willing!"

Wang Xifeng also knew that Jia Lian was just making a normal choice.Even if she is a man, he is willing to let her marry her.It's just that I felt uncomfortable after hearing it, and said with jealousy: "It seems that you have long thought about getting rid of my yellow-faced woman and planning to remarry? Do you want me to ask you to come down to make room for your petite guest?" Location?"

Jia Lian didn't know where he recruited Wang Xifeng, but after listening to her words, she knew that she was uncomfortable, so she hurriedly stepped forward to flatter her and said, "Grandma is still so young and beautiful, how many people can compare to her? That's right. If I were to choose, I would definitely choose grandma, who told me that my whole heart fell on grandma! Just now I was just joking with grandma, and I have kept myself clean these past few months. "

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng blushed and said angrily, "Your mouth is sweet!" But her heart seemed to be filled with honey, sweet from heart to limbs.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng lost her temper, Jia Lian hurriedly went up to her again, urging: "Grandma hasn't finished yet, this old ancestor has calculated so much, will Uncle Lin be willing to ask us to take Sister Lin back?"

Wang Xifeng felt at ease, and naturally spoke nicely to Jia Lian: "What can Uncle Lin think of the old ancestor? Naturally, he will not ask Sister Lin to go back with us. When you see Uncle Lin, you will only ask him Ask more about your official career and ask him to advise you. Don't say a word about Sister Lin, just ask me to come. "

Jia Lian said again: "How do you know that Uncle Lin won't agree? What if he didn't think of the old ancestor's plan? You can talk about it just now. There are not many men who can figure out things in the backyard."

Wang Xifeng couldn't speak anymore, she leaned back and just leaned against the soft satin pillow.She raised her hand, feeling that it would be easier to play with her own hand than talking to Jia Lian.While looking at her hands over and over, she lazily said to Jia Lian, "Can't you see that Uncle Lin has been guarding our family for a long time."

Jia Lian was shocked, but he really didn't see it.

Wang Xifeng said: "I don't know anything else, but I still know how Brother Zhu left. I heard that the old ancestor once thought about Uncle Lin and sent a letter, asking him to read Brother Zhu's article carefully. That letter Although Big Brother Zhu worked hard before sending the letter, he did not forget to eat and sleep. This time when the letter came, he worked harder and harder until he lost his life. I would not believe it if there was nothing written in Uncle Lin’s letter. In the past few years, the Lin family sent fewer and fewer gifts? If the Lin family had not separated from our family and followed Aunt Min's consideration, how could they have acted like this?"

After listening to Wang Xifeng's explanation, Jia Lian suddenly realized.Putting all the things together, Lin Ruhai just lost his heart to the Jia family?It's just: "Since my uncle has separated from our family, how can he help me make suggestions for my future?"

Seeing that Jia Lian finally asked a question with an online IQ, Wang Xifeng looked up at him as if rewarding him, and said, "I was just guessing."

"Guess what?"

Wang Xifeng ignored Jia Lian's exclamation, and continued: "I'm just betting on the fact that I have a good relationship with Mo Yun. I bet that my relationship with Mo Yun is good enough for Uncle Lin to help. .”

Jia Lian hesitated: "Grandma may ensure that you can win?"

Wang Xifeng shook his head, and laughed at himself: "I'm not a god, who can say for sure about this kind of thing? But it's not bad for us to gamble. If we win, we will jump out of the fire pit of Jia's family. At most, we can find a way out."

Jia Lian wanted to say something, but the driver outside the car door had already arrived at Daolin Mansion, so he could only keep his mouth shut, keeping what he wanted to ask in his heart, and only waited until he returned to the mansion to ask Wang Xifeng again.

When the two got out of the car, they saw the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion greeted him at the door.He called the servant girl to take Wang Xifeng to the backyard, and then took Jia Lian to the front hall.

Lin Ruhai was already waiting in the front hall, and when he saw Jia Lian coming, he got up to greet him.

Jia Lian quickly saluted him and said, "Come here uninvited, and disturb my uncle's cleanliness."

Because of Wang Xifeng's friendship with Mo Yun, Lin Ruhai has a good impression of Jia Lian, so at this time he just helped Jia Lian up, and said with a smile: "We are all relatives, so we should be in contact. Is there anything to disturb?" " Then he pulled Jia Lian to sit down and said, "I don't know why my nephew is here today?"

Jia Lian said respectfully: "My nephew came today to congratulate my uncle on his promotion, and secondly, to ask my uncle for advice. My nephew wants to find a way out, but I don't know how to do it?"

After Jia Lian thought about it, he finally followed what Wang Xifeng said, and didn't tell Jia Mu's request, but only asked about his own future.

Lin Ruhai pondered for a while, staring at Jia Lian and said, "Are you saying this for the sake of the Jia family, or just for yourself?"

Jia Lian said, "Just for myself."

Lin Ruhai didn't bother to ask Jia Lian why, as long as he could add trouble to Jia's family, he would be happy with anyone.What's more, this is a rare sober person in the Jia family, and Wang Xifeng has a good relationship with Mo Yun, so it's not a bad idea for him to help a group.

Therefore, he thought for a while and said, "Do you know that your family still owes more than 80 yuan in official bank loans? If it is for the Jia family to find a way out, then you can grit your teeth and pay back the more than 80 yuan. If it is only for yourself , then find a way to pay back part of it, and then hide far away with the help of the fellow magistrate you donated."

When Jia Lian heard that his family owed more than 80 yuan to the household department, he was shocked: "My family owes more than 80 yuan? Why have I never heard it mentioned?" Even if Jia's family is so extravagant now, a The annual expenditure is only 80 to 40.The 80 yuan is enough for the Jia family to squander for 10 to [-] years.However, he is also clear about the account of the public school now, let alone [-] taels, even [-] taels are difficult to get together.

Lin Ruhai didn't care about the mess of Jia's family, he just came up with an idea for Jia Lian, so he said: "I don't know how you owed the money, but the account of the household department remembers that it is the Rongguo Mansion." The debt is 80 taels, if you don’t believe it, just check it out. I just want to remind you that if you want to save your life, you should pay it back as soon as possible. If you feel sorry for the money, then I can’t control it.”

Jia Lian quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Who would doubt my uncle's words? My nephew just heard that the amount is huge, so I can't believe it. But," Jia Lian looked puzzled: "You also know the current situation of my Jia family. Mo It is said that it is 80 taels, even 10 taels cannot be made up. There is only 8 taels of silver in the public account, so how can I repay the debt?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "If you don't have it, then go get it. If you can't get it together, you can pawn it. You can always find a way to get the money together. If you really don't have 80, you can do it with three to five million. If you don't have thirty or fifty, Then ten or twenty. Anyway, the only thing you want to protect is your family, and if you pay a little bit, it’s enough to make you all feel better.”

After hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Jia Lian felt a little more at ease, and only planned to discuss it with Wang Xifeng when he got back, at least it would be better.After that, he talked with Lin Ruhai for a while, and seeing that Lin Ruhai had something to do, he asked him to go to work first.Just ask Jia Lian to think about Lin Ruhai's words in the living room alone, making himself dripping with cold sweat and fidgeting. I just ask Wang Xifeng in the backyard to come out quickly.

Wang Xifeng in the backyard was not busy, she had already made up her mind to stand with Mo Yun, and now she was only talking to Mo Yun about congratulations, she didn't even mention anything about Jia's mother.

Mo Yun hadn't seen Wang Xifeng for a long time, and she was happy to see her now, and talked with Daiyu with her.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Long time no see, you two sisters are getting more and more beautiful, I am so envious! Hurry up and tell me your maintenance prescription, otherwise, I will stay here!"

Daiyu brought her a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "How can we have any prescription for maintenance? It's just staying at home every day."

Wang Xifeng finally took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It turns out that the feng shui in this mansion supports people, so I can't leave even more. My sisters also asked me to live here for a while, so that I can also raise my water spirit." That's good, so that the ancestors won't say that I'm not as good as my younger sisters."

Hearing Wang Xifeng's teasing, Daiyu couldn't help but blush, and Mo Yun said aside: "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of us, if you stay here for a while, we are fine, I am afraid that the second elder brother Lian will come from the mansion Come to us to ask for someone. Sister-in-law, let us be clean!"

Wang Xifeng heard Mo Yun talking about Jia Lian, but she didn't care. She just smiled and said, "Your brother Lian can't live without me the most. It seems that I can't live here."

Mo Yun took out a can of tea from the closet next to her and gave it to Wang Xifeng, saying, "Sister-in-law, go back and bring this tea back today. I know your favorite, so I asked someone to bring it here. It's just that there are few things, and sister-in-law is Don't be disgusted."

Wang Xifeng took the things, and shook the handkerchief and said with a smile: "This is what my sister thought of me and gave me specially. How could I dislike it? It's just that I didn't bring anything with my sister today, so please don't blame me. yes."

Mo Yun smiled and said: "What did sister-in-law say? It is already a happy event for sister-in-law to come today.
