Red Mansions: No Tears

On that day, Jiang Ke's words successfully aroused Lin Ruhai's suspicion of Jia's family again. After thinking about it, Lin Ruhai asked Lin Daiyu what she had done in the Jia family in the past two years, and what else In daily study, I heard that Lin Daiyu played with Jia Jia Sanchun and Jia Baoyu, except for more than half of the time she could only stay in the house due to physical discomfort. The more decent study was only with Jia Zhu's wife. Li Wan just learned from female celebrities. As for the management of the inner house, Jia Mu didn't teach him at all.

Lin Daiyu said emphatically at the end: "Second sister and third sister didn't learn it either, so grandma thinks it's unnecessary, right?"

unnecessary? !What is unnecessary? ?Is the mother-in-law planning to make Yu'er a concubine?In a decent family, only concubines who are not on the table do not need to learn how to manage the house, and do not have to take on the responsibility of managing the inner house, because that is something only the matriarch of the family can do! !In this way, the mother-in-law once promised that she would promise Yu'er to Baoyu, so what happened?Lin Ruhai's heart was turbulent, and he gritted his teeth for a long time with a tangled face, but he did not say these words out of his mouth after all.

So Lin Ruhai, who was far away from being calm in his heart, asked someone to invite Madam Wen over the next day, planning to ask her to teach Lin Daiyu how to take care of the housework while she was still alive, and she also said by the way Jia Min's dowry should be given to Lin Daiyu first, so that she can learn how to read the account books and understand the people's livelihood outside.

It's just that when Jia Min's dowry was mentioned, Nanny Wen's face suddenly changed, and she looked at Lin Ruhai with some hesitation, as if she couldn't speak.

"Sister Wen, just say what you want." Seeing this, Lin Ruhai even persuaded her in puzzlement.

"Master doesn't know... the three shops and two villas in my wife's dowry have not paid half of the rent for two years. Not long ago, Lin Steward sent Lin Wang to one of the villas near Jinling to collect rent. Lin Wang actually returned empty-handed, he said that the manager of the village only replied that the field is still in short supply this year, so there is no rent to pay, and there is not even a little crop." Wen Nuan sighed secretly, and replied helplessly .

"Aren't they too courageous!? Why don't they take the master's family seriously?" Lin Daiyu reprimanded angrily before Lin Ruhai opened her mouth.

"Maybe the eldest girl doesn't know much about it. It's hard to control what they do when they buy it in other places under the name of Zhuangzi like the wife. There are many people who corrupt the master's property like this. When the wife was still alive before Maybe I will be a bit apprehensive, who would have expected that as soon as my wife leaves, those people will no longer treat us as masters. Earlier, Steward Lin wrote letters to the stewards of two shops in the capital, asking them about renting the house. They actually said that they are members of the Jia family, they don’t listen to the orders of the Lin family, I guess all the revenue from their shop has gone into..." Wen Momo stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, but the people present It can be heard that the money must have gone into the pocket of someone in Jia's family.

"That's all! I, the Lin family, don't care about that stuff... There are a few maids from the Jia family around Yu'er. I think it's better to slow down the business of running the shop. Sister Wen will teach Yu'er first." Let’s talk about the affairs of the inner house in the future.” Lin Ruhai also frowned, and seemed to dislike Jia’s family even more, but after all, it was his wife’s natal family and Yu’er’s uncle’s family, so Yu’er didn’t like it either. Maybe he broke contact with them hastily, what should he do?

Lin Daiyu didn't have the heart to take care of Lin Ruhai's entanglement, and finally got through to the point where she could justifiably ask about the Lin family's situation, how could she not take care of it?As for Mother Wen's statement that the stewards of several shops under Jia Min's name rebelled collectively, she also felt that it was expected, but this is not unique to the Jia family, and it is inevitable, especially for the capital city. For the big families in the village, it’s just that they have been away from the Jia family for at least 20 years, and they still can’t forget the illustrious wealth of the Jia family. I really don’t know whether we should praise them as ‘loyalty’?

On this day, Lin Daiyu was following Nanny Wen, and listening to her talk about the daily expenditure on food at home and how to judge the quality of those things, she suddenly asked Nanny Wen in a heartfelt way: "Does Mammy know that my mother used to eat food?" Where are those dowry deeds?"

"Uh?! Why did the eldest girl suddenly ask about this?" Nanny Wen was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously.

"I was thinking about what the nanny said that day. I was thinking that no matter how much the stewards show off their claws outside, they are always the servants of the Lin family, right? Didn't you also say yesterday that in any big family's family, whether it's a child born in the family or outside? The bought servants have to sign a deed to enter the mansion? If so, why did the stewards in the capital say that they are not from the Lin family? Isn’t their deed from the Lin family? " Lin Daiyu seemed puzzled and asked herself idea.

"Hey! This is really what the girl said. It's a pity that we don't know how the old lady of the in-laws persuaded the wife. It stands to reason that since it was going to be given to the daughter to marry, it must not have given half of it. But at that time As far as I know, the wife has only obtained the title deeds of the two shops. As for the managers and shop assistants who work in the shops, their titles are still in the Jia family and have not been handed over to the wife. The wife seems to be very concerned about this situation. I don't care, our old lady seems to have asked the wife why she didn't bring the deeds of several servants, and the wife replied that her natal family is in the capital anyway, if the deeds are in their hands, in case these When people are disobedient, they can also deal with the disobedient servants immediately, and there is no need to send people all the way to discuss with her. The wife has said so, and the old lady is too embarrassed to ask further. What about the misunderstanding? Besides, we all know that there must be a problem, but it’s hard to say this kind of thing. If we say too much, it will inevitably make the wife feel that we are sowing discord, uh... big girl... you probably don’t think so? After hearing her complaints, Mother Wen suddenly realized that Lin Daiyu had lived in Jia's house for several years, and she was afraid that Lin Daiyu would feel uncomfortable after hearing her words.

"How come? But I think since they are not members of the Lin family, let them go." I hope those people can survive until the day when the Jia family collapses, and then they will be packed out together... Lin Daiyu thought so.

"Don't worry, big girl. Our Lin family has been passed down for several generations, and the accumulated wealth accumulated over the past few decades is not ordinary. It is really unnecessary to pay attention to those two small shops, but it is a pity..." Lin Daiyu is alone, a family with few children, so what's the use of having more money?

"Don't worry, mother, the incense of the Lin family will be passed on forever. Even if I can't persuade my father to agree to adopt an heir, I can let my own children inherit the incense of the Lin family in the future." Lin Daiyu seemed to understand what Wen mother said. What a pity, she couldn't help comforting.

"The eldest girl is really willing to..." Weng Momo's eyes lit up, although this method sounds a little unrealistic, but it is still a good way!In this way, someone can continue the incense of the Lin family.

"That's what I thought too, but it might not be easy to do it..." Lin Daiyu regained her composure and realized that what she said was too smooth. In this era, who doesn't regard their son as a treasure?Even if it was born by herself, if the future husband's family disagrees, she probably won't be able to let her son enshrine the incense of the Lin family, right?

"What's so difficult about that?! As long as we clarify the conditions in advance, there will always be someone who is willing to accept it. Otherwise... a big girl can recruit a husband! Yes! That's right, this method is the most suitable, not to mention the Lin family's incense. If it goes on, the eldest girl doesn't have to look at her in-laws' face just because she doesn't have the support of her natal family." Wen Momo felt excited that she had suddenly discovered a good method.

"Mummy~~ We seem to be getting farther and farther away?" Lin Daiyu twitched the corner of her mouth, then sighed, thinking that even if this kind of thing is feasible, it will have to wait for many years. Besides, there is no way to recruit a son-in-law Is there a problem?I'm afraid not necessarily.

"Hey?! Hey! Why did I talk to the eldest girl about these nonsense? Don't say it, don't say it." Sister Wen patted her forehead and continued their unfinished topic in embarrassment.

It's just that this unexpected conversation between the master and the servant stunned Zijuan who was waiting outside the door: "Miss Lin wants to recruit a husband?! Could it be that Miss Lin intends to let Baoyu enter the Lin family's door? What should I do?! The old man My wife definitely disagrees, Baoyu is the hope of the Jia family, the old lady and the second wife both hope that Baoyu will become a talent, and will carry forward the Rongguo Palace in the future."

The more Zijuan thought about it, the less it was a problem, so she thought about passing on Lin Daiyu's thoughts to Jia Lian in the outer court, and asked him to write a letter back to Beijing to inform Jiamu, as if she was afraid that if she was too slow, the matter would be a foregone conclusion. But I don't understand how could Mother Jia be willing to wrong her darling like this?Doing so will only make Jia's mother hate Lin Daiyu.

If Lin Daiyu knew that Zijuan would do such a "powerful" move, she would definitely give her 32 likes, and even consider helping Zijuan secretly when Jia's family is raided in the future.

However, Zijuan's "good intentions" were hindered when he came to Jia Lian.

Originally, when Jia Lian heard that the Lin family was "suspected" to recruit a son-in-law, Jia Baoyu was the first one he chose. He felt that Lin Ruhai was so sick that his brain was showing off, otherwise how dare he touch the old lady's phoenix eggs ?As a result, Zhao'er who was beside him flew out of nowhere and said, "If Second Master Bao becomes Master Lin's door-to-door son-in-law, what will happen to our Rongguo Mansion in the future?!"

Jia Lian was stunned when he heard the words, and then burst into anger, cursing: "The Rongguo mansion is none of his business in the future?! The Rongguo mansion belongs to your master, when did it become his?! Could it be that the Jia family would collapse without him?"

"Alas! My good second master, don't you always talk about this? The old lady always said that whether our Jia family can restore its former prosperity depends on the great fortune of second master Bao in the future." Zhao'er retorted with an aggrieved face.

"You can't say that. The second master will inherit the title of the elder master in the future. What's the matter with his second master Bao? Unless the old lady never thought of letting the second master inherit the title." Long'er pouted and looked at him contemptuously. He glanced at Zhaoer.

Jia Lian suddenly felt stunned, but that's not the case! !When the old lady saw Tian'er, she said that Baoyu was a man of great fortune, but judging from their family's status, Baoyu, who didn't need to take scientific examinations to become an official, had no choice but to seek the title of Duke of Rongguo if he wanted to be a nobleman. That, if that's the case, will he still have a place in Rong Guogong's mansion in the future?

Jia Lian decidedly couldn't calm down.... ?
