[Red Mansion] Married by decree

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn millstones, but this is not a lie.In the past few days, Jia Lian personally verified the authenticity of these words.

In the past few days, Jia Lian has thrown a lot of money, and it really caught some of Jia's situation.Jia Lian paid attention to Daiyu's friendship, after all, friendship is special.However, Jia Lian thought about the identity of that family, and it was not a lord's family, so he felt that it was not a threat.It was decided that the issue of inheritance should be resolved first.

Although Jia Lian has been doing small things in Jia's house, he is really capable.In just a few days, it was discovered that Butler Lin was selling off the property of the Lin family.

Naturally, Jia Lian didn't think that this was Lin Ruhai's confession, but thought that the old slave was deceiving the master.Seeing that his master was seriously ill and the young master was young, the housekeeper wanted to occupy the family property.

"Master Lianbiao asked me to come over, but what do you want to tell me?"

"The housekeeper Lin has always been valued by my uncle, so Jia Lian dared not order anything. However, Jia Lian found out today that there are evil slaves deceiving the master, and because of his uncle's serious illness, he wanted to miss the property of his uncle's family." After Jia Lian knew about this, he did not think Going to expose Butler Lin in front of Lin Ruhai, instead he asked his followers to invite Butler Lin over.

The revelation of this matter will not do Jia Lian any good.But if you don't expose it, then in order to keep the secret, the housekeeper has to decide by himself.Butler Lin has been the housekeeper of the Lin family for decades, and knows the situation of the Lin family better than Jia Lian.With his help, Jia Lian believes that the Lin family's property will belong to his Jia family in the near future.

"There is such a thing, I hope Young Master Biao will tell you. My Lin family will definitely punish such evil slaves severely." Butler Lin didn't think of himself, he had a clear conscience.How could he have thought that the person Jia Lian was referring to was himself.

"This person is far away in the sky, and right in front of us. You and I both know it well, so why should Steward Lin pretend. Or, Steward Lin hopes to confront my uncle with me." Jia Lian thought that such a threat, but Steward Lin would definitely Will totally recruit and then beg myself to keep it secret.But I didn't think that Butler Lin would continue to play dumb.

"I don't know who Young Master Biao is talking about." At this moment, if Steward Lin still doesn't understand, then he is not qualified to be the chief steward.

"Steward Lin doesn't have to play dumb any more. Since I dare to invite Steward Lin here, I have evidence."

"I don't know what Master Biao wants this old slave to do?"

"Steward Lin only needs to do what he is doing now. When things are done, my Jia family will not treat you badly. Although it is not the position of the chief steward, a steward is still fine."

"This old slave thanked the second master."

"You go." Jia Lian boasted that he had a handle and accepted the post of steward again, but he didn't think that Butler Lin would betray him.Moreover, there was no evidence in the hands of Butler Lin.Even if this matter came before Lin Ruhai, Jia Lian could still say that it was Lin Ruhai who was afraid that he would inform Lin Ruhai and frame him.

"Master, Young Master Biao has been inquiring about the situation in the mansion for the past few days. Not long ago, he called the old slave over, because he wanted the property of the Lin family."

"Ahem, I thought that after my death, all parties would compete for my Lin family's property. But I didn't expect that now that I'm not dead, he can't sit still. It's just...too deceitful."

"Sir, what shall we do now?"

"Have someone send the maid from Jia's mansion over there, saying that she made a mistake, and I'm not good at dealing with the old lady's people." Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and asked Lin Butler to fetch a pen and paper.

Lin Ruhai is now terminally ill, and feels tired after writing two letters.The two letters were put into an envelope by the housekeeper and sealed with wax.On the envelopes were written: my son Daiyu and good brother Zhao Ye.

"Yu'er's letter, you give it to Yu'er after I die. As for the other letter, if the Jia family and Zhao Xiandi compete for Yu'er, you can show it in public. If there is no dispute, you can give it to him in private."

No matter from the legal point of view or close relationship, after Lin Ruhai's death, Daiyu should be brought up by the Zhao family.But with Daiyu's current status, the Jia family would never watch her live in someone else's house.Lin Ruhai was afraid that something wrong with the Jia family would embarrass Zhao Ye, so he left the letter.With this letter, even the Jia family has nothing to do.

"This old slave knows what to do. Master, if you are tired, rest first. The girl is accompanied by Mrs. Yi, master, don't worry."

After Lin Butler went out, he kept the letter close to his body.Then he took people to Zicuckoo's side, and Zicuckoo was very happy to hear Jia Lian coming.Although she is not very familiar with this second master Lian, she is her own.

"Second Master Lian, this girl has committed a crime. The master thought she was from the Rongguo Mansion, and it was not easy to deal with, so he called the girl out. Now that the second master is here, he asked the old slave to bring her here , saying that it will be handled by the second master."

Seeing Zijuan being sent over, Jia Lian couldn't figure out whether this person told Lin Ruhai.If so, it is not such an attitude.If not, what is it to send Zijuan here at this time.

"Don't worry, the second master. The master said that this matter cannot be blamed on the Rongguo Mansion. It's just that this girl has a big heart, and it is really not suitable for her to be with the girl. The master also ordered other things to be done by the old slave. If the second master There is nothing else to do here, so the old slave left."

"Go on your own, just don't forget what you promised me."

"Don't worry about me, Second Master, please rest assured." Lin Butler replied respectfully again before leaving.Butler Lin didn't have to treat Jia Lian like this, but there were too many things going on in the Lin family recently, and he really couldn't spare the energy to guard Jia Lian.That being the case, it is better to stabilize him first.When the emperor's people come, nothing will change.

Zijuan was at the side when the two were talking. Although she didn't understand the meaning of the last few words, she still understood the previous words.Being sent back to Jia's house by Lin's family would inevitably lead to a fine, but if she was still charged with crimes, what would happen to her would be unimaginable for Zijuan.Unavoidable, he will cry out injustice in front of Jia Lian.

Whether Zicuckoo was wronged or not, Jia Lian didn't care.Injustice or not, and how to punish, are all the business of Jia Mu, and it has nothing to do with him.What he is most concerned about now is how much property the Lin family has, how much he can bring back, and how much of it will be in his hands.

Besides, the emperor was happy to receive Lin Ruhai's memorial, which said that he could no longer be loyal to the country.I have no heirs to inherit my last wish and continue to be loyal to the emperor. I really feel ashamed to face the emperor.He thought about donating all his property to the national treasury.

Over the years, there have been constant wars and disasters, and the overlord implemented a benevolent government in his later years. As a result, many dignitaries borrowed money from the treasury, and they never paid back the money.There is the Supreme Emperor pressing down on it, and it is not easy for the Emperor to force the veteran to pay back the money.

Lin Ruhai's generosity can be borrowed from the national treasury for temporary needs, but the most important thing is to make a good impression on the ministers.This is like saying that anyone who has not borrowed money knows to supplement the national treasury.Those of you who have borrowed money, should you pay it back?

The happy emperor treated Lin Ruhai generously, and an imperial edict was brought to Yangzhou by the imperial envoy.By the way, the imperial envoy on this trip was Anshun Wang Yunze.When they set off from Beijing, it was the prince's guard of honor, and the momentum along the way was huge and majestic.

Yunze and his party, apart from showing off at the beginning, they changed horses halfway.Along the way, there were posthouses readying horses for replacement. Although they did not rush day and night like Jia Lian, the speed was not slow.If it wasn't for some delays encountered in the middle of the journey, these few days would have arrived.
