In May of this year, Lin Daiyu received a letter from her family and set off to return to Yangzhou.

In July, Lin Ruhai was delighted that her daughter's health was improving day by day after returning home.

In May of another year, Lin Ruhai's health deteriorated rapidly, and the two girls from the Lin family took turns serving at the bedside.Rongguo Mansion in the capital city heard the news and sent Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng and his wife to Yangzhou together.

In June, Lin Ruhai died of illness.At this time, Jia Lian and his wife were still on the road.

Before the people from Rongguo Mansion arrived, Lin Daike didn't let anyone send out a funeral.The monks and priests who have been saved have already been invited, and the mourning hall has been set up. Counting the days, when Jia Lian and his wife arrive in Yangzhou, at most half of the mourning day on July 49 will pass.

As for the people who got the news, they didn’t receive the official notice, so they couldn’t rush there, and sent people to find out the news. Dai Ke always replied that the elders in the family hadn’t arrived, and it was inconvenient to receive them as a junior.When the elders of the family arrive, the funeral matters will naturally be decided by the elders, and the posts will be sent to each family at that time.

When Lin Ruhai passed away, Daiyu cried like rain, and fainted several times because of her grief.Dai Ke also felt bad, although Lin Ruhai basically failed to fulfill her father's responsibilities to her, and even wanted to cheat her when he was dying, but at least he had a kindness.What's more, Lin Ruhai's death means that her life of being dependent on others is about to begin.

Before Jia Lian and his wife arrived, Lin Daike gathered the servants of the family together.She and Daiyu were about to leave, the family in Yangzhou was going to be disbanded, and now the entire Lin residence was in panic, so it was better to make plans early so that the people below could find a way out.

"The housekeeper and the housekeeper's daughter-in-law are 800 taels each, the rest of the wives are 400 taels, and the rough envoys of the outer court are also 100 taels each. My father and I and the first-class maids in the yard are 500 taels each, and the second-class maids are 300 taels each. 150 taels, and [-] taels for each of the little maids. After taking the money, everyone can go to their own homes."

"As for the aunts, I will serve my father at least. 3000 taels of silver per person, and those who have family members will go home and marry on their own. If there is nowhere to go, the official media will come to the door another day, and I will definitely not wrong the aunts..."

"Second girl, my family is willing to keep festivals for the master, please don't send me away!" Before Dai Ke finished speaking, Aunt Fang cried and threw herself under Dai Ke, holding on to Dai Ke's trousers.

"Don't you have long eyes, hurry up and pull people away, so you don't have to startle the second girl!" Without Dai Ke opening her mouth, Zijuan behind Dai Yu raised her voice, "If you want to keep the festival, you have to check your identity. Don’t you think that you are the concubine in the palace? Who in the ordinary family has heard of the concubine’s housekeeping? There is no distinction between wives and concubines, does the aunt want to make the master feel uneasy after death!”

"No, no, I don't dare to kill my slave!" Aunt Fang was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, "It's really my elder brother who likes to gamble. The elder brother will rob the slave's money, maybe... maybe the slave's house will be sold by him! I beg the second girl to take pity on the slave's family. Seeing that you have served the master in the slave's house, don't send the slave away!"

The mother-in-law beside Dai Ke also knew the details of Aunt Fang.Speaking of which, Aunt Fang is also a pitiful person. Her parents sold her into the Lin family in order to support the eldest son. As a result, the son didn't learn well when he grew up, and became so angry that his parents didn't say anything, and put Aunt Fang on it like a dog's skin plaster.

Fortunately, although Aunt Fang is cowardly, she is a sensible person.From the maid to the aunt, at most save some monthly money from the gap between the teeth to help the elder brother, but he has no other thoughts at all.But her elder brother is a real jerk. When he saw Aunt Fang, he scolded her for being a wife who was popular in a wealthy family, and didn't care about the life or death of her natal brothers.

"My mother's family? Heh, such a shabby person dares to marry the Lin family, what kind of relationship is he!" After hearing this, Dai Ke sympathized with Aunt Fang. The daughter's family can't be their own master.

"Second girl, you can't take care of this kind of thing," Zijuan said in a low voice seeing Dai Ke's hesitation, "It's just a matter of sympathy and sympathy for this kind of thing, otherwise once you keep Aunt Fang, Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang will also want to do it." Stay here. The girls are going to Beijing, do these aunts also take them with them? Everyone has their own lives, and Aunt Fang's own life is not good, so I can't blame the girls."

Having said that, Dai Ke also understands that the reason is the same, but she is still a little bit ruthless.When she was a housekeeper, she kicked people out quickly, knowing that they could find other jobs after they left.But this time, if Aunt Fang is kicked out, she will die. Maybe death is still good. If she is sold to the women's branch of the brothel, then life is worse than death.

"Forget it, just treat it as the last time I will be willful," Dai Ke finally shook her head, just this time, from now on, everyone must follow the rules of this world, "When we get along, I can't bear to send you to Pushing in the fire pit. This house was originally planned to be sold, but now that you want to come, it is better to stay. If someone really has nowhere to go, please help look at the house. There is only one thing, you are not considered members of the Lin family, and you have committed a crime. If something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with the Lin family."

"Thank you, Second Miss, thank you Second Miss! My family will definitely not embarrass you!"

At the end of the count, there were thirteen people who had nowhere to go due to various reasons.Most people still have relatives to defect to or want to find a better future.Dai Ke checked the rest of these people again, and some of them were usually talkative, so they went to Ren Yazi and sold them far away, leaving a total of seven people including Aunt Fang.

The Lin family's house in Yangzhou is not too big, and Lin Ruhai didn't plan to stay permanently when he first took office, so he just entered the courtyard a few times.But it's too spacious for seven people.The main room has been sealed with Jia's dowry all the time, and now Daiyu lives in the east, and when Jia Lian and his wife come, it may be that Wang Xifeng will also live in temporarily.Dai Ke asked someone to open up several courtyards on the west side, and opened a small door facing the street.Then he locked the door to the main room and handed the key to Aunt Fang.

In the next few days, Dai Ke led the people to collect all the decorations, antiques and various gadgets on the surface of the house, leaving only a few rooms in the front yard for entertaining guests, and the rest of the rooms were directly locked. .After finishing these, Dai Ke returned to her small courtyard.

Send the servants away, and re-hire a few errand servants who don't know the basics. Mama Li is by her side to help her. She has to take advantage of these last few days to make a good plan.

The night before Aunt Liu left, she came to see Dai Ke.She and Aunt Fei who were betrayed by the Jia family were the same roommates chosen by the old lady of the Lin family for Lin Ruhai.When Aunt Fei was sold out, she had something to do with Dai Ke, but now that she was leaving, she told Dai Ke what she knew.

"The second girl's biological mother has nothing to do with the Lin family. If you really care about it, the Lin family may still have a lawsuit to rob the civilian daughter." Aunt Liu said, "At that time, my wife also mentioned that Chunxiu should make up the contract of prostitution. But Chunxiu refused to die. Thinking about it, even a big girl from a good family would not sell herself to others. She was pregnant again at the time, and the wife was afraid that something would happen to the child, so she said to wait until the child fell to the ground. Chunxiu's fate was unlucky, and she died of dystocia. At that time, my wife was too busy to take care of herself, and she was gone, so this matter was forgotten."

"It stands to reason that the master had already recorded the second girl under his wife's name before he was alive. The second girl's title is proper. I shouldn't mention this matter again. But there are still people in Chunxiu's family. I thought that I should follow him anyway." The second girl said something. Aunt Fei has a good relationship with Chunxiu. She once sent someone to visit Chunxiu's house secretly. Chunxiu's father died two years after Chunxiu's death. Needless to say, Chunxiu still has A younger brother, ten years younger than Chunxiu, he, he hates the Lin family!"

"Back when Chunxiu had a difficult labor, the wife sent someone to send pensions to Chunxiu's family. The second girl didn't know that the women in the backyard dared to deduct anything when they usually bought things. The old and young of the Chunxiu family didn't deduct more. At that time, Chunxiu’s younger brother was said to be only six years old, so he dared to beat the mother-in-law who gave the money with a stick, and yelled that it was the Lin family who killed his sister, and that the entire Lin family would pay for it!”

"Where is my little uncle now?" Dai Ke has no impression of Chunxiu, and she really hasn't thought of her biological mother's relatives in recent years.

"Let's go. It's said that I'm going to take the No. [-] Scholar Examination, and I haven't returned to Yangzhou City. Oh, my second girl, I told you these are not for you to recognize your relatives! Now you and the eldest girl are left in the Lin family. What if? People come back..."

Dai laughed, "Auntie, just listen to what you said about my biological mother's younger brother, do you know his name, or what is my mother's name?"

"This..." Aunt Liu was dumb, "Maybe Aunt Fei knows."

"That's the end of it. You don't even know your name, so there's no need to be on guard. Besides, after so many years, people are dead or alive, so there's no need to worry about what to do."

After sending Aunt Liu away, Dai Ke forgot about it.The servants from Rongguo Mansion have arrived, and Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng will be there in at most two days.Even Wang Xifeng came this time, the Rongguo Mansion must have heard something.She had sent away all the old people in the house, even if Wang Xifeng asked, she probably wouldn't be able to ask anything.

Dai Ke kept a woman by her side, this woman was specially found by her after she got the housekeeping right, she was very quick in charge, strict in her mouth, and had nothing to worry about, because Dai Ke promised to give her a pension, and she was very kind to Dai Ke. Be loyal.Originally, Dai Ke wanted to keep a maid, but the few maids she found were not up to the mark, and after more than a year of sex, she still couldn't get on the stage.

Dai didn't dismiss the people around Daiyu.Zijuan Xueyan and Daiyu's nanny Wang Momo stayed behind.Xueyan has always been honest, not to mention Zijuan, her loyalty to Lin Daiyu is incomparable to that of Xueyan, who has followed Daiyu since she was a child.Zijuan must know what to say and what not to say.What is left now is how she will deal with Wang Xifeng and how to keep the Lin family's property to the greatest extent.
