On June 21, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng finally arrived in Yangzhou.
"My poor sister..." Before the person entered the door, the voice came in.When the maid opened the door, Dai Ke followed the voice and saw a woman dressed as a woman in her 20s walking in like a wind.
With just one glance, Dai Ke decided that this woman was Wang Xifeng.That appearance is the same as that in the Red Chamber Book, and the style on the corners of his eyes and brows is even more vivid.It's just that today Wang Xifeng is not dressed in the bright colors that are often described in the Red Chamber. She is dressed in a gown with duck egg green and lilac patterns, and a few gold hairpins are inserted obliquely on her head.That's right, for a new funeral in the Lin family, even those who love sex must put on plain clothes. If they come in all dressed up, they won't be beaten out. Is this for a funeral or a wedding?
Wang Xifeng came in and went straight to Daiyu, and hugged her, tears streaming down her face, "My poor little sister, how could Uncle Lin have the heart to go like this!"
Daiyu couldn't stop crying when she heard this, "Sister Feng..."
"Good sister," Wang Xifeng held Daiyu's hand, "Now that I'm here, you can rest assured, leave everything to me, sister, take good care of yourself, look at this skinny one! The old lady is still waiting What about my sister?"
After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng pulled Dai Ke to the side again, "This is the second girl, alas, she is also a pitiful one, don't be sad! You can stay in the backyard with Sister Lin at ease. Leave it to me and your two brothers, Lian, to make sure that Uncle Lin will do well."
"There is Lao Lian's second grandma," Dai Ke bowed to Wang Xifeng and sat aside with her handkerchief pressed to the corner of her eyes.
Wang Xifeng has always been vigorous and resolute, and started to distribute after a little settlement.The funeral posts of each family were sent to the young servants to deliver them. The men who came to express their condolences were all received by Jia Lian, and she received the wives of each house in the backyard.Since Lin Ruhai was going to be buried back to his hometown in Suzhou, the funeral procession did not make a big fuss, and only Taoist priests who went out of the city were arranged, and those who were further away were exempted.
As for the inner house, Wang Xifeng frowned as soon as he got started.The purchase of the kitchen, the purchase of daily necessities, all the long-term orders have been stopped, and all the food and use of Lin's family are bought on the spot these days.The servants in the mansion are also temporary workers, and most of the yards are locked. If it is not for the large antiques, they must not be taken away and converted into cash. She simply does not know what else she can do.
Selling things requires accounting. Wang Xifeng has long heard that the second girl has been in charge of the Lin family's accounts for the past few years.The seven-year-old housekeeper is a joke in Wang Xifeng's eyes.Indeed, daughters of families like theirs will start to learn housekeeping at the age of jj, but that is limited to observing with the mistress, and after watching for a year or two, try to do something that doesn't matter. To wait to get married.If the in-law's family has a powerful sister-in-law or the wife above does not want to delegate power, it may be impossible to get the housekeeping power for a lifetime.
For a family like the Lin family without a decent hostess, it is most likely that some safe aunt is in charge of the housekeeping.As for why it was rumored that Dai Ke, the concubine, held the housekeeping power, in Wang Xifeng's opinion, it was probably the aunt in charge who disliked Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai didn't want to lift her up, so he took a concubine to suppress her.
Not only her, the family members of the Rongning and Ningfu prefectures didn't believe the rumors, but they were prepared. If the Lin family's property was so big, if a little concubine really hid it, they would feel sorry for the dead aunt Jia Min.So this time knowing that Lin Ruhai was not good, Mother Jia sent out Wang Xifeng, the most powerful person from Rongguo Mansion, without saying a word.
In fact, Qin Keqing, the grandmother of Xiaorong in Ningguo Mansion, is no worse than Wang Xifeng, and unlike Wang Xifeng, who keeps everything on the surface, she is as careful as she is, and she is friendly, gentle and gentle. People can handle it.Qin Keqing is obviously more suitable for checking other people's accounts.It's just that Qin Keqing's health was also good and bad, and Mother Jia hesitated again and again, but she didn't pull her face to speak.
Dai Ke didn't know what Wang Xifeng was thinking. If she knew that Wang Xifeng didn't need her to make up for it, she would have followed her script completely, and it would have been possible to set off fireworks at the door for three days and three nights.What is the reason why she scattered all the servants in the family? Isn't it just to hide her clumsiness and fear that someone will chew her tongue so that the Jia family will know that she is "well-deserved" and there is no way to push all the "credit" to Aunt Liu body?
In this day and age, no family likes concubine daughters who are better than concubine daughters.Let's not talk about the far ones, just talk about Tanchun, when the Rongguo Mansion was defeated, it was all supported by her, and in the end, it was sent to the country of Java.Don't look at Jia's mother's love for Daiyu, after all, she is an orphan girl without the support of her father's family.This time, Dai Ke went with her, that is, the oil bottle of the oil bottle. If she wants to grow up safely, there is only one way - to keep a low profile.
Previously, Dai Ke was too confident, thinking that Lin Ruhai in the book died of illness, and she had the trick of Jiansan, so curing Lin Ruhai's illness was just a piece of cake.Lin Ruhai survived by her hands, no matter how well she gets along in the future, at least her filial piety will allow her to gain a firm foothold in the Lin family.Even if Lin Ruhai continues to marry, the stepwife can't be too harsh on her in order to please Lin Ruhai.
It's impossible to think that Lin Ruhai is destined to die, and now Dai Ke is going to pack up and settle in Rongguo Mansion.The water in Rongguo Mansion is so deep, even if she has a trick to save her life, if she is not pleasing to the eye, she can vomit to death just by being run on. Isn't Lin Daiyu in the book just pissed off?In such a big Rongguo Mansion, it is not easy to hide the news from a bedridden patient. How could he be so careless to let Lin Daiyu know the news while Jia Baoyu was paying his respects.
To put it bluntly, some people don't want to see Daiyu again.At that time, a good relationship between wood and stone was much more widely spread than a romantic relationship between gold and jade. Although there was no formal engagement, it had long been acquiesced that the second master of the Jia family, Bao Erye, wanted to get closer to his cousin.As a result, Baochai was suddenly replaced at the end, and Daiyu was not dead, so how could the Jia family hang out in the circle of relatives and nobles in the future.
So when Wang Xifeng came to ask, Dai Ke cooperated 12 points.Ask Li's mother to take out all the account books of the past two years from the bottom of the box, and spread them out one by one for Wang Xifeng to have a look.
Opening the ledger, Wang Xifeng couldn't help laughing. Look at this handwriting, even the newly enlightened brothers of the Rongguo Mansion couldn't write so ugly.It's nice to say that tadpoles are all crooked, but it's hard for these two girls to really be able to write.
"I made Second Mistress a joke," Dai Ke lowered her head in embarrassment, twisting her handkerchief with both hands, "I said I couldn't write anymore, my father told me to write, it should have been aunt..., it should have been dictated by me. , written by someone else."
Wang Xifeng just pretended that she didn't hear Dai Ke's slip of the tongue, and continued flipping through the ledger.On the whole, the first few accounts are fine.It's just that the last settlement was three months ago, and the account expenses for the latest two months are huge, but I remember it very easily, with only a few transactions.
"It's just sending servants, how did you spend so much?" Wang Xifeng calculated carefully, dozens of servants spent more than 2 taels of silver, and even one servant sent by Rongguo Mansion was no more than 100 taels at most, these taels of silver were enough Two or 300 people have been dispatched.
"This is what my father meant. Father has the softest heart. It seems that there are so many servants who were released before," Dai Ke said, and motioned for Li's mother to look for the account books from more than two years ago.
Wang Xifeng took the account books and compared them carefully, and found that the numbers were indeed the same.It's just that the previous releases were two or three rooms a month for several months, so the expenditure was not conspicuous.Since this was the rule when Lin Ruhai was alive, it wasn't Dai Ke's fault.However, the grace given to the servants is so generous, I really don't know whether it is Lin Ruhai, a big man who doesn't understand the housekeeper's extravagance, or the Lin family's wealth.
"Second Grandma," Dai Ke said with a smile, "Since Second Grandma is here today, I thought it would be better to hurry up and invite my sister, and tell Second Grandma what my father told our sisters before he died, and ask Second Grandma to help us. Sisters plan."
"That's good." Wang Xifeng nodded, thinking that what Miss Lin Er wanted to talk about was the issue of the Lin family's property.She just didn't know how to ask, but the second girl Lin took the initiative to ask, which saved her a lot of trouble.
When Daiyu came in, the rims of her eyes were still red, it could be seen that she had been crying for another day, and Wang Xifeng was very painful and comforted when she saw her.Dai Ke has long been used to Dai Yu's sentimental body, and if it is normal, she will comfort Dai Yu.Now that Wang Xifeng is here, she doesn't want to do these face-saving things, she just shed two tears along with her, and asked, "Did my sister bring the things my father left earlier?"
"When Mama Li came, I thought of it," Daiyu nodded, then turned to look at Zicuckoo.Zicuckoo quickly put the tray in her hand on the table. "The letter and the box are here." Daiyu couldn't help but feel sad again when she saw things and thought about others. "When my father gave the order that day, my sister and I were there. My sister said to listen to Sister Feng. I didn't even dare to think about it." Think again."
"Sister is so sad, if her body breaks down, father will be unsafe under the nine springs." Dai Ke picked up the sealed letter, "Then let me say, what is wrong or what is missing, and what else is there?" Ask my sister to remind me."
"After my father was in poor health, I started to arrange for the big family. Second Mistress, you just saw that the father of the servants in the mansion was merciful and released, and the rest were some dead things. The wife's private father has always been They have not been moved, and they are all sealed in the inner house. My wife ordered these things when she passed away, and they are all to be left to my sister as a dowry."
"Father has bought a lot of property over the past few years. Father has sold all the shops and exchanged them for cash. The land is all bought in his hometown in Suzhou, and someone has been taking care of it. There is also a house here. My father said that it is not good. There is no need for our sisters to worry about the moving ones. The remaining antiques are being sold by the second grandma these days."
"According to the law, a daughter cannot inherit the family property, but the Lin family can't even find a suitable candidate for adoption, so the father left a message that the property left in this box, as well as the land and house, will be left to the grandson. In the future, if the sister-in-law The family understands that the third son born will be named Lin and inherit the property of the Lin family. If it is impossible, let me recruit a son-in-law to continue the blood of the Lin family. As for the silver sold in the past few days, it will be used for our sisters in the capital in the future daily expenses."
"When you go to Rongguo Mansion, you are going to your own home. You don't need to pay for it yourself! According to me, many things in this mansion are old, and it's not worth selling them for money. They sold them a few days ago. Forget the ones, I will keep the rest for you, and when you get married, I will take them all away as dowry."
Of course, those worthless tables, chairs and benches are not within the scope of what Wang Xifeng said, and they can't be sold for much money.A large part of what Wang Xifeng refers to is Jia Min's dowry back then.When Lin Ru was sent overseas to Yangzhou, all the large pieces of furniture in Jia Min's dowry were carried over together. The old ones were removed, and the rest of the mahogany and huanghuali furniture were loaded into two or three ships.
