Qing Zhi walked in, holding a few banknotes and a money bag, presented them respectfully, and said, "Ma'am, it's a total of 320 taels, and it's all here."

Jiang Wen didn't even look at it, but looked at the siblings with a smile, "Is the monthly salary of the servants of the Yu family so high? It seems to be a kind master."

Both siblings were ashamed and speechless.

Jiang Wen saw the awkwardness of the two of them, and felt that it was meaningless to bully children, so he pointed at Yu Tianyi and said to Qing Zhi, "Give the money to Young Master Yu and keep it for himself."

Madam Lin said before that she would help them manage the money, but now she said that Yu Tianyi would manage it himself. He thought Madam Lin didn't want to take care of them, so he panicked: "Madam..."

Jiang Wen raised his hand to stop his words, and said seriously: "I can help you for a while, and I'm only going to help you for a while, so there are some things you have to learn to do by yourself, and others can't replace them."

Apparently Yu Tianyi also thought about the fact that their siblings were deceived by servants before, bit his lips, and finally thanked Qing Zhi and took the money.

Qing Zhi found out that his wife had a good attitude towards the young master of the Yu family, so she smiled at him, and said: "When Mrs. Li saw that the matter failed, we recruited after a few interrogations. The money is also carried by their family on the road. You have eaten enough."

In fact, I also asked about other things. For example, the reason why the Yu family sister and brother came to the Lin family was also instigated by Mrs. Li. I'll talk to my wife about this later.

While Yu Tianyi gritted his teeth after hearing this, Yu Chunxiao shook his head in disbelief: "Why, did the Yu family treat them badly? Why did you do this?"

Jiang Wen was speechless, but the two siblings were standing together, she could see her at a glance, and her toothache was really painful, so she waved at Yu Tianyi, "Come forward and talk."

Yu Tianyi obediently took a step forward, just blocking Yu Chunxiao's face, Jiang Wen's mood improved a little, and his tone became more patient, and asked: "It's a good thing this servant didn't have any evil thoughts along the way, otherwise How can you brothers and sisters come to Beijing safely, now I ask you, how are you going to deal with this bully slave?"

Yu Tianyi hadn't experienced much, and when Madam Lin asked him, he was immediately at a loss, but he was still a little clever, so he immediately cupped his hands and respectfully said: "Please enlighten me, Madam."

"It must be impossible to keep it by your side. It's better to sell it and buy it later."

Yu Tianyi had no objection, but Yu Chunxiao wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and closed it embarrassingly, seeing that no one in the room was paying attention to her.

After talking about the servants of the Yu family, Jiang Wen remembered to ask them: "How old are you? Are you still studying?"

"My sister is eighteen now, and Tian Yi is ten years old this year. She went to school in her early years, but she delayed after observing filial piety."

Jiang Wen nodded, then tilted his head and glanced at Yu Chunxiao. Eighteen is indeed not young at this time. After finding out about her fiancé, she has to arrange someone as soon as possible, lest someone younger than Lin Chen and Daiyu live far away. Aunt and uncle are at home, embarrassing Lin Chen and Daiyu.

Taking another look at the sky, Jiang Wen turned around and asked Qing Zhi: "Is lunch ready?"

"Go back to Ma'am, I'm ready."

After Jiang Wen heard this, he said to the Yu family sisters and brothers: "You are newcomers, logically I should entertain you, but you must be tired, so you brothers and sisters will use it in the yard at noon, and wait until Master Lin and my son come back at night. , and hold a banquet in honor of your brothers and sisters."

Yu Chunxiao and Yu Tianyi naturally agreed, and then Qing Zhi went out and called two little maids to help carry the luggage and take the two siblings to settle down.

Jiang Wen waited for them to leave, then relaxed his body and leaned on the chair, turned to look at Lin Daiyu: "There are so many wonders in the world, right?"

Although they are similar in age, they are distant relatives of her mother's natal family, and they are her elders in terms of seniority. Lin Daiyu can't comment casually, so she just smiled.

Jiang Wen, however, sighed: "Your brother was admitted to Tongsheng when he was ten years old. These two are so naive!" Yu Tianyi can be said to be young and ignorant, but Yu Chunxiao is at the age when he can be a mother. I don't know anything at all...

Lin Daiyu has an impression of what her mother said about her brother. At that time, her brother had already come to their house. She studied hard with her father and wanted to help her enlighten her. At that time, she was only happy to have a brother with her. Now that she thinks about it, she feels a little guilty Distressed again...

After a while, You Tingyu came over, and the three of them sat down to eat together. You Tingyu suddenly asked, "Does mother not like Miss Yu?"

Jiang Wen raised his head, looked at You Tingyu and Lin Daiyu, "Do you like it?"

You Tingyu shook his head hesitantly, but Lin Daiyu said: "Although Ms. Yu's temperament seems a bit unhelpful, this kind-hearted person is better than a scheming person, right?"

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Mother just thinks that the two of them may cause trouble, but if such two people can cause trouble in the Lin family, isn't it because of our own incompetence?"

The smile on Jiang Wen's face grew wider after hearing this, and in the end he even praised directly: "Yu'er, you have really grown up!"

She did not deny that Yu Chunxiao's character would indeed give her some bad associations, but with the strict family style of the Lin family, and Jiang Wen would not give anyone the chance to take advantage of loopholes, there was nothing to worry about. I just find it troublesome.

What surprised her was Lin Daiyu, a child who could tell right from wrong but also kind. When she thought that such a good girl was actually raised by her, she would be filled with satisfaction...

And Lin Daiyu was very embarrassed to be looked at by her mother like this suddenly, and after You Tingyu covered her mouth and laughed beside her, she made a sound for her sister-in-law: "Mom, how do you arrange dinner?"

"Let's separate, let your father and Lin Chen take Yu Tianyi alone."

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."

After dinner, Jiang Wen asked the two of them to go on their own, while he went to the study to write a letter, planning to send it back to Gusu Lin's house tomorrow, and asked the old patriarch to help check the situation of the Yu's house.

It wasn't until Lin Ruhai and Lin Chen came back in the evening that they realized that there were two guests from the Lin family. Lin Chen didn't have the impression that he had contact with the Yu family, so he didn't know much about the situation, so he only got along with Yu Tianyi according to his mother's arrangement.

Yu Chunxiao and Yu Tianyi formally paid a formal visit to Lin Ruhai. After dinner, Jiang Wen didn't stay any longer and asked their siblings to go back to rest. Then he took out the marriage letter and said to Lin Chen, "Yu Chunxiao's fiancé is Zhou Lixuan, and Yu Tianyi said yes. You have been admitted as a Jinshi in this subject, Chen'er, send someone to check it out."

Lin Chen took it over, nodded and said, "Tomorrow my son will send someone to investigate, but since he is a student from Gusu, my uncle and Brother Zhen may have some impressions."

This year's Chunwei, Lin Xuan and Lin Zhen participated together, but after Lin Xuan's second round due to the severe wind and cold, Lin Ruhai did not let him continue to participate, and Lin Zhen was not on the list even though he completed the exam, so now the two Still studying hard in the academy.

In spring in previous years, there would definitely be someone from the same hometown to contact everyone. Lin Chen had acquaintances among the students in Gusu and Yangzhou back then, presumably the same is true for Lin Xuan and Lin Zhen.

"However," Lin Chen shook his head after finishing speaking, "It should be unfamiliar. Otherwise, if that person knows that the Yu family has such a relationship with the Lin family, he probably wouldn't dare to abandon his fiancée and climb high."

"Our family hasn't been in touch with the Yu family for many years. It's normal if we don't know." Jiang Wen spread his hands, "It's just that I was stunned when I first heard about the Yu family."

All the elders of the Jiang family left early, and in the end only Xue Shi and Jiang Wen were left. They later moved to Yangzhou, and naturally they gradually lost contact.

Even if Jiang Wen doesn't admit this relationship, there is nothing the Yu family can do about it, and she doesn't have to bear any burdens, so she said to the family members: "You don't have to really think that you have two more elders, just treat them normally. .”

Lin Chen and the others nodded their heads one after another. Seeing that their mother had nothing else to say, they said goodbye and left the main courtyard together. Lin Ruhai also got up to send his daughter back.

Jiang Wen walked around the yard a few times before going back to the house to wash up. After taking a bath, he heard the servant girl say that Lin Ruhai had also come back and was washing up next door.

After sitting in the room for a while, Lin Ruhai walked in with some steam on his body, Jiang Wen pressed him on the stool with some kindness, and took a handkerchief to wipe his hair himself.

Lin Ruhai was quite flattered, and wanted to look back at Jiang Wen, but was pulled back as soon as he moved his head.

"do not move."

Lin Ruhai could only let her move honestly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Wen touched his wet hair twice, tied it up with a handkerchief, then went to sit on the stool next to Lin Ruhai, and asked him: "Do you think there are too many messy things in our house? "

"It's okay."

"Really?" Jiang Wen looked suspicious.

Lin Ruhai nodded, and looked at Jiang Wen seriously: "Husband and wife are one, we should bear everything together, not to mention, if the Lin family only has me and Yu'er, wouldn't it be lifeless?"

"That's not the case." Without them, Lin Ruhai and his daughter would have died early. How could they feel lifeless?Jiang Wen rolled his eyes, rested his chin on Lin Ruhai's arm, and asked again: "Since you are quite enjoying it, why don't you take the time to consider Yu Tianyi's knowledge?"

Lin Ruhai stretched out his index finger and poked Jiang Wen's head away, "I've asked questions during the dinner, and I only read "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean", but he didn't miss his homework, and the foundation is not bad."

"Master Lin is very thoughtful." Jiang Wen praised, and then stood behind him to help squeeze his shoulders, "The Yu family is just the two siblings, and it will take some time for the news from Gusu to come back. Tomorrow, how about asking the housekeeper to find a school in Beijing, and let Yu Tianyi go to study?"

"Why do you need to ask me such trivial matters?" But Lin Ruhai did not reject Jiang Wen's attention.

Jiang Wen rested his elbow on his shoulder and rubbed it vigorously. He couldn't control the strength for a while, and Lin Ruhai hid in pain. Seeing this, Jiang Wen rubbed it lightly in embarrassment, and said with a shy face, "Yu Tianyi is studying." It's a trivial matter, so I want to marry Yu Chunxiao as soon as possible after the matter is clear, isn't it a trivial matter?"

But Lin Ruhai didn't care and said, "Isn't the trick you gave Chen'er a good one?"
