Red Mansions: No Tears

?Zhao Hua feels that the life of marrying into the Lin family is much easier than the days in the palace. As soon as he enters the house, he is the mistress of the house. His husband is also very considerate to him. He is also a clean and self-respecting man. best friend.

It's a pity, only a few days after she came in, my sister-in-law's family rushed to discuss the wedding date... Okay!In fact, my sister-in-law is only one year younger than her, and she really can't stay for long, but before that, there are a group of difficult guys to deal with first. He closed the door on the ground, and after judging her with disgust, he heard that before he left, he ordered his sister-in-law to tell her to remember to go to the Duke Rong's mansion to pay his respects, wow!That old woman~ Who do you think she is? !

Because it was the season of high and crisp autumn, the door and windows of the house were ajar. Lin Yu returned home from the yamen in the afternoon, and as soon as he stepped into the threshold of the courtyard gate, he could see his wife sitting in the room from a distance. I was in a daze, and occasionally smiled a little shyly.

Seeing Lin Yu's return, the two maids guarding the door hurried forward to salute and greet Zhao Hua. Hearing the voices of the maids greeting, she hurriedly got up and walked towards the door.

"Master is back?" Zhao Hua asked with a soft smile.

"Well, what were you thinking just now? Did you feel too boring? If you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can talk to Yu'er. How did you two get along in the past, and how do you get along now? Don't be unfamiliar because of me. " Lin Yu asked with great concern.

Lin Yu felt that he liked the gentle Zhao Hua more and more. He never valued female sex, and he was different from some lechers who immediately vowed to read all the beauties in the world after time travel in the book in the previous life, and collected all the beauties in the harem. , although he didn't know what world he was crossing at the beginning, nor did he think that he would kill the world and become rich by relying on the knowledge of his previous life. To put it bluntly, he is a cowardly fool. My meager ability allowed my grandma Lin Taoshi to live a good life for several years.

The Jiang family has always taken care of Tao's grandparents and grandchildren, and Lin Yu knew in his heart that if he wanted to get ahead, he could only rely on the Jiang family, so he paid great attention to maintaining a harmonious relationship with the children of Jiang Ke's generation since he was a child. However, he never thought that such a relationship would bring him a major turning point in his life—adoption to Lin Ruhai.

That's why Lin Yu found out at that time: It turned out that he had traveled to the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, and he had more than a dozen distant relatives with Sister Lin. With his heir, even if it used to be the original book, it doesn't matter now. After all, he can't let Sister Lin go to the place where people cannibalize, so someone who didn't plan to take the imperial examination route had to be obedient Grabbing the book in his hands, he began to memorize those people who were similar to reading tadpole essays in his previous life, and tried his best to get a Jinshi degree. Originally, he thought that he would find a job in a distant place at any time, and then he would take his delicate sister Lin to find a random job. Nest in a place with good mountains and rivers, and when sister Lin grows up, she will find a young man with a good family background and good character to marry off... Uh~~ In fact, the above can only be someone's idea... because he hasn't thought of these things yet At that time, Sister Lin had already been given to the Jiang family by Lin Ruhai. Of course, it also brought him and Sister Lin a lot of benefits. After all, although the Jiang family was not an official for generations, they also had contacts with many officials. Can bring a lot of convenience.

Over the years, after experiencing many setbacks (?), Lin Yu finally has a small official position in the imperial court, and a wife with a strong background. Now he is thinking secretly in his heart, what actually makes Lin Yu His younger sister's safe life is the driving force behind his study and progress, right?Because he really thinks it is much easier to open a shop and set up an abacus than to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics~~ (Someone burst into tears silently...).

"Thank you husband for your concern, but now my sister is going to get married, how can I bother her all day long? By the way! Husband, my sister told me today that I will go to Rongguo with Mrs. Jiang in two days. Do you think... I should go?" Zhao Hua first smiled shyly, then straightened his face, and asked Lin Yu about Lin Daiyu asking her to go to Rongguo Duke's mansion.

"Go, of course I should go. Although in the genealogy, I was only recorded under my father's name. Seriously, it has nothing to do with their Rongguo government, but after all, Yu'er and I are brothers and sisters. I have to pay them two points for returning it, but..." Lin Yu thought for a while, then got up and went to the small study, and after a while, he took out a small wooden box.

Lin Yu put the wooden box in front of Zhao Hua, and then said: "The things in here were given to me by my father before he died. It is said to be the list of the dowry that my sister and mother brought when they married into the Lin family. He had already given all the things to Lian's second cousin to take back to Rongguo Duke's mansion. On the surface, it was said that the younger sister's grandmother would keep it for her, and she would return it to her as part of the dowry when she got married in the future. Come to think of it, those members of the Jia family might not be able to pay back."

"My mother's family took back the dowry of the married daughter, wouldn't that mean...?" Zhao Hua was stunned when he heard this.

Generally speaking, if the dowry of a married woman is returned to her mother's family by her husband's family, in fact, it has more or less revealed the meaning of the two families from now on. Maybe Lin Ruhai really planned that at the beginning, but it is a pity that her daughter is still young after all. Some things still have to be relied on by his uncle's family, so when he ordered Lin Steward to take care of Jia Min's dowry and hand it over to Jia Lian, he did not say that he would sever ties with Jia's family in the end, but only said that some of the family's valuables The things are handed over to the mother-in-law for safekeeping, and will be returned to the Lin family when there is an appropriate time in the future, but when is the appropriate time?Lin Ruhai didn't say it explicitly, but even so, anyone with a little brain should be able to think that this timing is nothing more than the time when Lin Daiyu gets married.

However, as far as Lin Yu knew, Jia Lian brought back more than a dozen boxes of items from the Lin family back to Rongguo Duke's Mansion because Lin Ruhai deliberately mixed in a lot of the original Lin family's things, and before Jia's mother had seen them, they were taken away by Wang. Madam dropped one-third of the items, so Mother Jia didn't see that those items were actually Jia Min's dowry from the rest of the list, so she didn't realize the news that Lin Ruhai intended to sever contact.

Later, because of concubine Xiande's visiting relatives, the Grand View Garden needed a lot of expensive decorations. Mrs. Wang coaxed Jia Mu with a lot of good words, and 'borrowed' a lot of good things from Jia Mu's private treasury, just for visiting relatives. Afterwards, no one proposed to take the things back to the warehouse. Today, even if the Lin family really wants to get back those items, it will be even more difficult, unless someone borrows the courage to raid Mrs. Wang's private warehouse , and maybe you can't find a lot of things there.

Speaking of Jia's mother, Lin Yu guessed that Jia's mother might have regarded the rest of the things as her own private house, right?As for what Jia Lian might have said that the things he brought back from the Lin family were only temporarily deposited by Lin Ruhai in the Jia family, and would still have to be returned to Lin Daiyu in the future, etc., I would have forgotten all about it long ago.

Of course, Lin Yu also guessed whether Jia's mother would take those things as Lin Ruhai's promise that Lin Daiyu would marry Jia Baoyu, but there was no evidence for this kind of thing. ...What's more, they never thought of admitting to such an unfounded thing. The marriage contract of the Jianglin family has evidence in black and white, so it is naturally more legitimate than a verbal contract.

The most important point is that no matter what thoughts Jia Mu once had, Lin Yu only knows that over the years, Jia Mu has never taken the initiative to mention to Lin Daiyu that the Lin family has a considerable amount of property deposited in the Rongguo Mansion, let alone that they Since the brothers and sisters entered Beijing one after another, they have always shown that they don't have much money on hand, so they can only live at a normal standard of living. If she really planned for Lin Daiyu, how could she never say a word?She didn't even send some money to support her. With such an act, she was ashamed to say how much she loved her granddaughter?When everyone is as stupid as her!

"Father didn't tell Second Brother Lian about the origin of the things he asked him to bring back to Rongguo Duke's Mansion. He only said that we were afraid that our brothers and sisters would not be able to keep those good things at a young age, so I asked them to keep them for the time being." Lin Yu shook his head. , explained lightly.

"But didn't you just say that it was..." Zhao Hua didn't understand for a moment, did the father-in-law do this thing before he was alive, did he want to draw a line with the Rongguo mansion?Is it really just a kind of entrustment?

"They probably didn't know that their father would set such a trap for them to jump into before he was alive. Besides, if Mrs. Shi really had the heart, she might not be able to see a clue. It's a pity that she never said anything to her sister. Presumably she didn't. It can be seen that they are pretending not to know, so if the relationship between the two families is broken in the future, then no wonder we are ruthless. After all, as long as they are not greedy, the two families will naturally continue to communicate, but if they are greedy first What? It’s rare that we want to give them another sum of money to spend?” Lin Yu sneered, originally he had nothing to do with Rong Guogong’s mansion, and he also knew that Lin Ruhai still didn’t want to reveal those things before he died, just because he was worried Lin Daiyu lived there for a few years anyway, afraid that she would still miss the blood relationship with that family, and even think that she would be involved in Lin Daiyu's future, so she didn't dare to make too much trouble, but if the other party wants to kill herself, He's too embarrassed to stop him, isn't he?

"Mr. Shi really never mentioned to my sister that my father-in-law entrusted them with part of the property before his death? Maybe it's just that my sister didn't mention it. After all, you have been studying in the academy for almost all these years, and there are many things at home. Don't ask, it's not impossible for my sister to ignore it for a while." Although Zhao Hua frowned and retorted, he began to wonder why Jia's mother insisted on her going to Rongguo Duke's mansion.

"If you don't believe me, you might as well ask your sister. Although I don't live at home often, it's not that there are no one else in the house. I'm not the only one who knows about what my father did before he was alive. Steward Lin and Nanny Wen also know about it. I still remember the things Lian’s second cousin brought back to the capital, not to mention the folded cloths and furniture, there were more than a dozen boxes of valuable decorations alone, and there were two shops in the dowry of my sister’s mother. In the capital, you can ask Steward Lin, and ask him whether the shopkeepers of those two shops have sent ledgers and silver to our house over the years. I heard my sister mention the income of those two shops since his wife passed away. , I never delivered it once, and you said that the shop is not profitable, who are you lying to?!" Lin Yu saw that his wife didn't seem to believe him, but he didn't care much, and just continued to say a few more words.

Hearing what her husband said, Zhao Hua couldn't help thinking with a heavy heart. At the beginning, she rejected Jia Baoyu's marriage, but because she felt that Jia Baoyu didn't know how to make progress, but only knew how to hang out in the inner house, but she didn't know that Jia's family would even He dared to covet the dowry of a married daughter, but what the husband meant showed that the Jia family really did such a thing, and they might not even be satisfied, otherwise they would not have made such a request. ?
