Chapter 7 The Red Chamber (7)
&1t;script>Red Building 7
Daiyu closed her eyes and lay on the **. Zijuan said it for her good. She knew this, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Zijuan even looks at her newly recognized elder sister and brother like this. What about the rest of the mansion? Not to mention it on the surface, she might be able to gossip and joke secretly.
Which servants in this mansion can forgive others?
Thinking of this, I felt aggrieved again. A man secretly wiped his tears and didn't dare to let anyone know.
Let’s not talk about the matter in the capital for now. I just say that Lin Ruhai was taken care of by Lin Yutong for a few days, and it was really better to live a day. Before the doctors from other places were invited, they could already leave the house and walk around the yard.
Now, not only Lin Ruhai was surprised, but also Butler Lin was surprised.
This is a happy event! A big event. It should be happy.
However, Lin Ruhai couldn't be happy. The current situation just shows that he was really plotted against at home. Naturally, he wouldn't think that Lin Yutong could make him healthy by just a few meals, which was obviously unrealistic.
Lin Ruhai believed even more that this was because he had been isolated from the toxic things these days, so his health had improved.
Everyone in Lin Yutongle thinks that no one can say anything about space, let alone expose it.
Even if Lin Ruhai found nothing in the end, he would only think that the other party was hiding too deeply.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai strongly agreed with Lin Yutong's drastic rectification in Lin's mansion. Butler Lin cooperated with all his strength.
Although Lin Ruhai has vitality, he is still weak. He just gives Lin Yuyang's homework when he is energetic. The father and son get along very well.
In the past few days, Lin Yutong looked at the account book carefully. Since Jia Min entered the Lin family, the annual income of the Lin family has just been equal to the expenditure. There is no money left at all, let alone using the income to buy some industrial matters.
Isn’t it a fool to be able to do not lose or make money every year? However, there are really fools like Lin Ruhai in this world who have never checked these industries.
The farms in Jiangnan and tens of acres of land, why are there drought this year, insect storms next year, and floods next year, and there will be no good harvest. I don’t think about this excuse to find such a clumsy, but I don’t think about it. Can such reasons stand verification? These disasters will not only come to the Lin family’s farm. I don’t even find a better reason for corruption, so I know that the people who do this are not worried about someone checking it.
Those who can do this cannot escape the head of the Tianzhuang village, but Jia Min's own hands must be unclean. Because the amount of income and money is very large, the people below really don't have the courage.
In theory, Jia Min is the head wife of the Lin family, and she is not under her control after entering the Lin family. There is no illegitimate son at home, so why should she keep an eye on her own?
The only possibility is that she withdraws money and supplements her parents' home.
When she saw the list of Jia Min’s gifts to Jia Jiajia every year, she knew where the money went.
On the gift list, the gifts given to the Jia family by the Lin family were normal relatives. However, it also came with a gift that Jia Min used his own dowry to buy for everyone in his mother's family.
For example, the glass lanterns given on the Lantern Festival, the golden roosters that celebrate the spring on February 2nd, and the offerings made of gold and silver foil on the Qingming Festival. The jade-carved dragon boats given on the Dragon Boat Festival on May 5th... Then go down, the gifts for the Jia girl on the Qixi Festival, and the Zhongyuan Festival is another gift to commemorate the ancestors of the Jia family. The Mid-Autumn Festival and the Double Ninth Festival. In October, a special gift is also given to the cold clothes. The next day is the New Year gift.
After a year and twelve months, there was no time to calm down. This was not the birthday of the Jia family. The Jia family's wedding, funeral and children were full months old.
This is not the Lin family, it is clearly a money house of the Jia family.
No wonder the old lady of the Jia family always says to Lin Meimei, I only love your mother.
Lin Yutong thought to herself: If I give all these money, I will only love her Jia Min.
What's the matter!
Lin Yutong held the account book and placed it in front of Lin Ruhai, "Father, you know the account in this family."
Lin Ruhai sighed: "Forget it! There is no point in pursuing it."
How much does it cost? Why is it boring?
Lin Yutong said dissatisfiedly: "At least the Lin family has subsidized the Jia family, so it should be placed in the open. If you are so unclear, you will treat us as fools."
Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly. This daughter spoke mercilessly. Didn’t the Jia family treat him as a fool?
However, he also had his reason. Seeing that there were only three fathers and sons in the house, Lin Ruhai said: "The salt tax is in charge of the father. It is said that there is enough oil and water. In fact, there is much more than the limit you can think of. Sometimes, the money is not something you don't want to collect for your father. You can see the trick of the gifts to the Jia family at a glance. What about those who are discerning. Can they believe that the money is the wife's dowry silver? The wife's dowry silver can't be paid at all. So, they won't believe it! But they will think of the wife's robbery and use the Lin family's money to supplement their parents' home. I'm afraid they will not think of it. After all, no family will tolerate such a woman who is determined to rob her parents' home."
Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly and continued, "Then the money that the wife bought for these things can only be given to her father. There will be such a stupid son-in-law in the world who is dedicated to supplementing the Yue family. Who would believe it? They would think, what is the money that Lin Ruhai gave to the Jia family for?"
"You know the power of the Zhen family in Jiangnan. In their opinion, the money collected for their father flowed to the Jia family through such a channel. Otherwise, who could give gifts with a good solar term? This is just asking for an excuse to give money to the Jia family. And the master behind the Jia family is the same as the Zhen family."
Lin Yutong immediately understood. Lin Ruhai indulged Jia Min, which gave the Zhen family an illusion. He thought that Lin Ruhai was just doing things for the Jia family, and the Jia family took the money from the Lin family and entered the hands of the master.
It was that master, I was afraid that the Lin family would have the intention of committing it to him through the Jia family's hands.
As for the amount of silver in it, it is impossible to verify. What kind of virtue is the Jia family, and they are used to being extravagant. After passing the silver in their hands, how can they not cut it down?
Moreover, as long as Jia Min's account book is present, Lin Ruhai is not afraid that the emperor will misunderstand that he will defect to his master.
Lin Ruhai has been in Yangzhou for so long, but nothing happened. I'm afraid it's because of this deliberate illusion.
And the time when his health began to be bad was just after Jia Min's death, it seemed to confirm this speculation even more.
Lin Yutong's eyes changed when she looked at Lin Ruhai. It turned out to be an old fox! Saving the Lin family's income not only brought peace for a long time, but also brought greater benefits. The money he received over the years has not appeared at all.
Compared with the benefits obtained, the Lin family's industrial prospects are simply insignificant. After all, the industry is still there, and the losses are almost ignored, which is not even a problem.
The Jia family claims to be rich and will not promote it if they take advantage of others. Why did Lin Ruhai, who suffered losses, remain silent? It turns out that the fundamental reason is here.
He kept saying this money, and even more, it was even more stigmatized. The source was too stigmatized, and the place was too stigmatized. He wanted people to think that this was from corruption and gave it to the master behind him.
Such a fatal thing can't be said to be beaten to death. If the person behind him does not receive the money, who should I blame? Of course, it was the Jia family. The Jia family embezzled the money that the Lin family had to pay.
After figuring this out, the siblings took a breath. Lin Yuyang felt that he still had a lot to learn.
Lin Ruhai was looked at by his two children with admiration and was a little arrogant: "As for the father, he would take out a sum of silver and hand it over to the emperor every year. It also means that this is the silver that he had to collect. And the father is also surrounded by the emperor's eyeliner. The wife uses the Lin family's money to supplement the Jia family's affairs, and he will report it to the emperor. The emperor will not misunderstand that he betrayed his father, so what is there to worry about for the father?"
Lin Yuyang stood up and saluted solemnly: "Please teach me my father."
Lin Ruhai laughed and felt relieved. The understanding of these two children is really rare.
Lin Yutong also put away her self-righteous thoughts and became more modest and cautious. Even the most confused person in her eyes was as smart as this, so what could she have to be content with?
After knowing the profound meaning behind this, Lin Yutong knew what to do with this matter.
She gave the Jia family members to the farm in Liaodong. The farm was not far from the military households. Manager Lin beat a trustworthy person and took the people to the farm. Even if it was given to the local thousand households, there was nothing wrong with it. Just keep these people under the radar. The area in the border area is a place where the prisoners are. If you want to run away, there is no door.
And here, some of Jia Min's confidants were afraid that they would be detained by Butler Lin alone. I guess Lin Ruhai still needs to ask some of the Jia family's affairs clearly.
However, this is not within Lin Yutong's jurisdiction.
The Lin family is now all servants of the Lin family. At least in terms of loyalty, they cannot be compared.
Lin Ruhai's health has improved a lot and can go out for a walk by himself. He even went to the yamen twice.
Lin Yutong and Lin Yuyang also moved back to the yard that had been prepared for them long ago.
The yard was accompanied by the people who served. Lin Yutong named Wumeng, asked about her birthday, and named her two big girls August and October. Four second-class girls were given four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. The third-class people still used their original names, and Lin Yutong was too lazy to ask about it. After all, these little girls were under the jurisdiction of the big girls and could not get close to her.
In Lin Yuyang's yard, Lin Yutong only arranged two stable, dutiful and medium-sized girls. The rest were servants.
Lin Ruhai was very satisfied when he found out. Although this daughter was not born in a wealthy family, she could understand the tricks in it at a glance.
Lin Ruhai's body is getting healthier and healthier. Although nothing has been found, since there is no Jia family in the mansion, his health has gradually improved without special protection. It also indirectly proves that his body is indeed inseparable from the Jia family. It is enough to know this.
