Chapter 867 Lin Ruhai's Will
Xifu, Rongqing Hall.
Jia Qiang and Daiyu came with each other, and Daiyu wanted to say goodbye to Jia Mu and return home.
Before the wedding, I couldn't come again.
Although Jia Mu was reluctant to leave, she knew she would go out of the house next month. She was not at home at this time...
She held Daiyu's hand and naturally gave her many instructions. After talking about it, she said, "You are busy with your family. State affairs are more important than children's affairs after all. He is doing things in the palace every day and night. Don't blame him. The aunt at home has a body, and she is even more precious and dare not move.
It was supposed to be my place to take care of it, but when something happened to the family, it was really inseparable. But don’t worry, I asked you, Sister-in-law, to measure all the houses in the three main halls on the east side of Ning'an Hall, and you also had to make a flirt and other furniture. All the antique utensils are better than Baoyu’s. You are my granddaughter, who is like a granddaughter, and you will be in front of you at the age of five, so you will never lose money.
In addition, although your mother left you with a dowry of 100 or more, your uncle and I still have to add some more. This was discussed with your uncle before.
But before, you and Brother Qiang said it was too silly, so you won’t send it to the Buzhengfang, but you will send it directly to the East Mansion. There are not many, two thousand acres of farms, two door shops, and some gold and silver utensils.
Although Brother Qiang is rich and not interested in these things, he is not for him, and he is for you to use them all. Even if I am gone in the future, these dowries are your confidence!
Your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law have also added some, and the concubine behind her has also raised her back... Although there are no people in the Lin family, there are still foreign families, so you will not be wronged."
Looking at Jia Mu, who has become much older, after many things, her silver silk seems to have lost its luster, but she is still thinking about her and talking about this, Daiyu burst into tears in her heart and said, "Old lady, please stop worrying. We are not careless children. You can rest and recuperate. Your granddaughter can take good care of yourself."
Jia Qiang also complained: "Life is so comfortable, but why are you always worried about this? Tomorrow, I will send you and their sisters to Taozhuang outside the city to sing pine trees for a few days, soak in warm soup, see the village fun, eat some wild game, and then find a few old people to talk to you about the past. We are not all waste snacks, and you still worry about everything? The Jia family has not reached the critical moment of life and death... By the way, don't rush to buy them dowry, and how much money is left in the box, I'm rushing to lend me money."
Jia Mu just laughed at her and said, "Bah! You don't have a penny, you're so worried!" Everyone laughed.
At this moment, not only are the sisters of the Jia family and Li Wan, but also the bride Jiang Ying.
Looking at the interaction between the family, Jiang Ying felt a little puzzled when she was still confused, but she was not in a hurry and just took a look.
She recognized some elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, and she also knew more.
I just don’t understand why my eldest sister-in-law looks so good today, but my second sister-in-law is so bad.
And the daughter of the prime minister looked like the proud daughter of the heaven among the sisters of the Jia family, and she was indeed very romantic.
Not only do you look at your appearance, but you also know how good it is.
Because she spoke ill last night, she said that she was the nanny Bao** of the Sangmen Star. It was the prime minister's beloved daughter who ordered her to be taken to the gate of her yard and beat her half to death and expel her from the Duke's Mansion.
Seeing Baoyu lying there like gold paper again, the air inside the house was covered with turbid breath, Feng Jie'er said, "Let the nanny hold her and change the house. The house is too hot and it will be suffocating."
Qiu Wen hurried to look for the nanny, but the sisters saw Jiang Ying walking forward, bent down and picked up Baoyu, looked at Jia Mu and said, "Old lady, where are you going?"
Jia Mu: “…”
...
Buzhengfang, Linfu.
Zhonglin Hall.
"Haha, Yu'er is finally back."
Lin Ruhai was actually at home. When he saw Jia Qiang, Daiyu entered the door and laughed softly.
Daiyu was embarrassed and said angrily: "Dad! It was because of the Jia family that her daughter stayed there to help..."
When he arrived, Lin Ruhaifang saw the word "filial piety" on Daiyu's arm, frowned and said, "Who is gone?"
Daiyu sighed, "It's my second aunt."
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang, and Jia Qiang pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Before Baoyu's wedding, I asked me to send him to the village outside the city to kowtow to his mother. As a result, he told Mrs. Wang that he missed him very much and would take her back to Rong Mansion after marriage. That person was also determined. He knew that he could not go back alive, so he swallowed his things and the soul came back to the mansion."
Aunt Mei was shocked when she heard this and couldn't speak for a moment.
After pondering for a while, Lin Ruhai said to Jia Qiang: "A person dies like a lamp goes out. Don't worry about some things. Although an old lady is here, it is difficult to take her back to the house to attend the funeral, but you must have all the regulations and all the tribe members have to go over, don't let someone talk."
Jia Qiang nodded and said, "After I found out last night, I asked the second master to take my nephew and grandchildren to go there. Today, the clan will also send someone over."
Lin Ruhai sighed and said, "You will send the elegiac couplet on your behalf."
After Jia Qiang nodded, he saw Daiyu step forward, standing obediently beside Lin Ruhai, pouring a little tea for him...
Seeing that he was strange, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang who was scratching his head and smiled and said, "Good girl, don't add tea, it's full."
"Oh Daddy!"
Daiyu said coquettishly: "You have clearly eaten a bite, and my daughter will fill it with you."
Aunt Mei laughed and said, "Master, please continue. There is not much time to pour tea in the future."
Daiyu shouted at her and said, "I don't know. I will stay at home and pour tea for my father at all times!"
Aunt Mei teased, "That's bad, the master dares not eat your tea!"
Lin Ruhai laughed and asked, "But what difficulties have you encountered?"
Jia Qiang laughed dryly, without hiding it, nodded and said, "The stall on the Delin number is a bit cruel, and the silver is short of half a year."
Lin Ruhai's face became serious when he heard this, and said, "Delin's short silver? That's not a small amount."
If it is used for household use, it is awesome to be tens of thousands of taels, but the Delin number is now so large that it is short of half a year of silver, how could it be a small amount...
Before Jia Qiang could speak, Daiyu said dissatisfied: "If it were a small amount, he would not come to find his father! Last time, he shortened 200,000 taels, so he thought about going to the Yin family to talk about it. He took it from the Duke's Mansion. Now he really encountered difficulties and came to find his father! Dad is his husband. If he didn't look for his father, who else could he find?"
These righteous words made Lin Ruhai's eyes twitch, and he looked at Jia Qiang with a not very kind look and asked, "How much is the shortage?"
Jia Qiang's scalp was a little numb, and she always felt guilty, and said, "There are a lot missing, but I will think of a solution..."
Daiyu also bit her lip, and her confidence didn't seem as strong as she looked on the surface. She said to Lin Ruhai: "I'm missing three million taels."
Aunt Mei changed her face and exclaimed: "Three million taels?"
Even the Ministry of Revenue’s treasury was plundered, but now it can’t find a few three million...
Lin Ruhai also shook his head and smiled bitterly. He expected it would be a big number, but he didn't expect it to be so big. He smiled with Daiyu and said, "Good girl, you should just take off your bones for your father and sell them for money."
"Dad!!"
Lin Ruhai smiled and asked Jia Qiang again: "When will you use it?"
Jia Qiang said: "It can last for another month... Sir, I really don't have to worry. I will find a way. Open a question to Jiangnan. It's not a problem to borrow a loan. It's only half a year, so I don't have to worry about giving it profit."
Lin Ruhai reminded: "Don't treat merchants as fools. They are profit-seeking. For every point they pay, they must recover three or even ten points. How can they afford such heavy profits? Furthermore, the matter of sea grain is even more serious and I dare not delay it, so I don't recommend you speak to merchants."
After pondering for a while, he said, "There is not too much cash at home. I'll let you get it back first and see how many more. Think about it and get it together, there should be a way."
The Lin family's ancestors had four generations of marquises, and the population had always been small and had never spent much money.
Plus the dowry of wives from all generations...
After several lifetimes, my family has a rich foundation.
Jia Qiang was not polite, and nodded, "It takes at most one year, almost half a year. You must return the money before the junior brother is born."
Aunt Mei blushed and said with a funny look: "There is no younger brother..."
Daiyu smiled and said, "That's right, isn't it a good thing to be a daughter?"
Lin Ruhai ignored these and said to Jia Qiang: "Don't be in a hurry to pay back the money, just use it. If your aunt gave birth to a son, she will share half of it with him after he grows up and becomes a talent in the future... You don't have to say much. If your junior brother becomes a talent, the money will help a lot. But too much is useless. Not every child has the talent of you, half is enough. If you give birth to a daughter, it is enough to take out a hundred thousand taels of dowry, and it is useless to make others greedy. I made a will and prepared for the compromise, and your aunt also knows it."
These words made Jia Qiang scare, and Daiyu changed her expression. Daiyu said anxiously: "Dad, why not speak early and hire an imperial physician?"
Lin Ruhai smiled and waved his hand and said, "I don't feel uncomfortable, my body is lighter than in the previous two years. But the sooner these things are, the better..."
Jia Qiang frowned and said, "Sir, although the Delin name is short for a while, the disciples are actually not short of money. Although the Lin family has a big business, no one dares to have the junior brother's idea, and no one can do it. If you divide the family business into so many disciples, how dare you bear it?"
Lin Ruhai did not want to talk about these things, and waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these things, this matter has been decided. There are so many things at home and many things outside, so let's go and do it. The eighth day of next month is a good day, so come and pick up your junior sister."
Aunt Mei couldn't help but persuade, "The six rituals have not been completed yet, and the master is too anxious..."
Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "Seeing that they are so harmonious, I'm just a trivial matter. Recently, the court has a lot of things, and I don't have much effort to spend it. That's it. I can trust Qiang'er."
When Jia Qiang heard this, his nose was a little sore. He knelt down with great tribute and kowtowed three times.
After shouting, Lin Ruhai finally reminded: "Don't let go of everything. You can trust others, but you cannot trust them all. You should not relax the means you should do."
"Yes, sir, I can save you."
"Well, I think you will understand, go."
After Jia Qiang bowed again, he looked at Daiyu for a moment, turned around and left.
