Red Mansion(7)

Daiyu closed her eyes and lay on the bed. Zijuan's words are for her good. She knew this, but she was still a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Zijuan still looks at his newly recognized eldest sister and eldest brother like this. And what about the rest of the house. Don't talk about it on the face, but behind the scenes, you may not know how to chew the root of your tongue and joke secretly.

Which of the subordinates in this house can forgive people with his mouth?

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt aggrieved again. A person secretly wiped a handful of tears, and he didn't dare to let anyone know.

Let's not talk about the affairs of the capital for the time being. It is only said that Lin Ruhai has been taken care of by Lin Yutong alone for a few days, and it is really better day by day. Before the doctor from elsewhere could invite him, he was able to leave the house and walk around the yard.

At this moment, not only Lin Ruhai was surprised, but also Steward Lin, who was also surprised in his heart.

This is a happy event! Be glad.

However, Lin Ruhai couldn't be happy. Today's situation just shows that he is really plotted against in his own home. He naturally didn't think that Lin Yutong would be able to make him healthy in a few meals, that was obviously unrealistic.

Lin Ruhai believes that this is because he has been isolated from poisonous things in the past few days, so his body has improved.

And everyone in Lin Yutongle thinks so. No one can say anything about space, let alone expose it.

Even if Lin Ruhai didn't find out anything in the end, he would only think that the other party was hiding too deeply.

Therefore, for Lin Yutong to make drastic rectifications in the Lin Mansion, Lin Ruhai strongly agreed. Steward Lin is even more fully cooperative.

Although Lin Ruhai said that he had vitality in his body, he was still weak in the end. It's just that when I have the spirit, I will point out Lin Yuyang's homework. Father and son get along beautifully.

In the past few days, Lin Yutong has read the account book carefully. Since Jia Min entered the Lin family, the Lin family's annual income has just reached the same level as the expenditure. There was not a single amount of money left. Not to mention using the proceeds to buy some industries.

To be able to do it every year without losing or earning, isn't this a fool. However, there are really fools like Lin Ruhai in this world, and they have never been inventoried into these industries.

The grange in the south of the Yangtze River, 10,000 acres of fields, how can there be a drought this year, an insect disaster next year, and then a flood, in short, there is no good harvest. This excuse is so clumsy, and I don't want to think about it, can such a reason stand up to verification. These disasters will not only befall the Lin family's Zhuangzi. If you don't even find a better reason for corruption, you know that the person who did it is not worried about someone checking it at all.

If you can do this, the head of the grange can't run, but Jia Min's own hands are definitely not clean. Because the amount of money in this income is very large, the people below really don't have the courage to do so.

It is said that Jia Min is the wife of the Lin family, and this thing is not at her disposal when it enters the Lin family. There is no concubine at home, so why should she guard and steal by herself?

The only possibility is that she withdrew money to supplement her mother's family.

When she saw the list of gifts Jia Min gave to Jia Jiajia every year, she knew where the money went.

On the gift list, the gifts given by the Lin family to the Jia family are all normal relatives exchanges. But it also came with a gift that was said to be made by Jia Min himself with his dowry silver for everyone in his mother's family.

For example, the glass lantern sent during the Lantern Festival, the golden rooster that heralds spring on the second day of February, and the offering made of gold and silver foil on the Qingming Festival. The dragon boat with jade carving sent by the Dragon Boat Festival on May 5...... Then go down, the gift to the girl of the Jia family on Qixi Festival, the Midyear Festival is a ceremony to commemorate the ancestors of the Jia family, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chongyang ceremony, and in October, a special winter clothes are sent. It's the New Year's Gift.

For a year and twelve months, there is no time to stop. This is not counting the birthdays of everyone in Jiafu, the weddings and funerals of the Jia family and the full moon of the children.

Where the hell is the Lin family, it is clearly a Qian Zhuangzi of the Jia family.

No wonder the old lady of the Jia family always said to Sister Lin, I only love your mother.

Lin Yutong said in his heart: If all this silver is given to me, I will only hurt her Jia Min.

What the hell!

Lin Yutong held the account book and put it in front of Lin Ruhai, "Father, you know the account in this house." ”

Lin Ruhai sighed: "That's it! It's not interesting to pursue it." ”

How much does it cost?

Lin Yutong said dissatisfiedly: "At least how much the Lin family has subsidized the Jia family, it should also be placed in a clear place." Such an unclear one will take us for fools. ”

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly, this girl was really ruthless when she spoke. Didn't the Jia family treat him as a fool.

However, he also has his reasoning, seeing that there are only three of them in the house, Lin Ruhai said: "I am in charge of the salt tax for my father, and they all say that there is enough oil and water in it." In fact, there are far more limits than you can imagine. Sometimes, the money is not for the Father's sake, so he does not receive it. The gift to the Jia family, you can see at a glance that you are tired, so clear-eyed people. Can they believe that the money is the wife's dowry? The wife's dowry money can't be afforded at all. So, they won't believe it! But will they think of the eunuch guarding himself and stealing, and using the Lin family's money to supplement his mother's family. I'm afraid it's just as unexpected. After all, no one would tolerate such a woman who is bent on pulling her mother's house. ”

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly and continued: "Then, the money that Mrs. buys these things can only be given by her father. There will be such a stupid son-in-law in the world, who only compensates for the Yue family, who believes it. They will think about what I, Lin Ruhai, gave the Jia family the money for. ”

"This Jiangnan, you know the power of the Zhen family. The money collected for their father, in their opinion, flowed to the Jia family through channels like guò. Otherwise, who can give a gift with a good temperament! This is simply looking for an excuse to give silver to the Jia family. And the master behind the Jia family is the same as the Zhen family. ”

Lin Yutong understood in an instant. Lin Ruhai's connivance with Jia Min is to give the Zhen family an illusion. felt that Lin Ruhai was doing things for the Jia family, and the Jia family received the Lin family's silver, and it also went into the hands of that master.

It's that master, I'm afraid that I also think that the Lin family's hand has the intention of throwing it to him.

As for the amount of money in it, it is impossible to verify it. What kind of virtue is the Jia family, and they are used to extravagance. The silver passed through their hands, and how could they not take off the next layer.

Moreover, as long as Jia Min's account book is there, Lin Ruhai is not afraid that the emperor will misunderstand him and take refuge in his master.

Lin Ruhai has been in Yangzhou for so long, and there has been no accident. I'm afraid it's also because of this deliberately created illusion.

And the time when his health began to be bad was just after Jia Min's death. It seems to confirm this speculation.

Lin Yutong's eyes changed when he looked at Lin Ruhai. Sure enough, it's an old fox! Giving up the Lin family's income not only brought peace for a long time, but also brought greater benefits. The money he has collected over the years has not shown up at all.

Compared with the benefits obtained, the income of the Lin family's industry is insignificant at all. After all, the industry is still there, and that loss is almost deliberately ignored, which is not to mention hurting the muscles and bones.

The Jia family prides itself on being rich and noble, and they will not publicize it if they take advantage of others. And Lin Ruhai, who suffered a loss, why was he silent. It turns out that the root cause is here.

If he is silent, he will be even more solid that this silver will not see the light. The source is not visible, and the place is not visible. He just wants to make people think that this is embezzlement and give it to the master behind it.

This kind of fatal thing can't be said even if you kill you. If the people behind it don't receive the money, who is to blame? Naturally, it is the Jia family. The Jia family embezzled the silver that the Lin family was going to hand over.

Thinking of this, the siblings gasped. Lin Yuyang felt that he still had a lot to learn.

Lin Ruhai was looked at by the two children with admiration, and he was a little embarrassed: "My father will take out a sum of silver every year and give it to the emperor." And it shows that this is the money that has to be collected. And by his father's side, there is also the emperor's eyeliner, and his wife uses the Lin family's money to supplement the affairs of the Jia family, and he has his own report to the emperor. The emperor will not misunderstand the betrayal of his father, what is there to worry about for his father. ”

Lin Yuyang stood up and saluted solemnly: "Please teach me from my father." ”

Lin Ruhai laughed and felt full of joy. The understanding of these two children is really rare.

Lin Yutong also put away his self-righteous thoughts and became more modest and cautious. Even the first fool in her eyes is shrewd like this, she has nothing to be complacent.

Knowing the deep meaning behind this, Lin Yutong knew how to deal with this matter.

She sent the people of the Jia family to the grange in Liaodong. The grange was not far from the military household, and Steward Lin sent a credible person, and after bringing the person to the grange, he sold it with the Zhuangzi. Even if it is given to thousands of local households, there is nothing wrong with it. Just keep an eye on these people, and that's it. The land over there is a place where prisoners are allocated. I wanted to run, but there was no door.

And among them, some of Jia Min's henchmen are afraid that they will be detained alone by Steward Lin. It is estimated that there are some things in the Jia family, Lin Ruhai still has to ask clearly.

However, this is not within Lin Yutong's jurisdiction.

The Lin Mansion is now the servants of the Lin family. At least the loyalty is not the same.

Lin Ruhai's body has improved a lot, and he can go out and walk by himself. Even, I went to the yamen twice.

Lin Yutong and Lin Yuyang also moved back to the yard that had been prepared for them a long time ago.

There are people who serve in the courtyard. Lin Yutong named Incompetent, asked for her birthday, and named the two big girls August and October. Four second-class girls, taking the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. The third-class ones still use their original names, and Lin Yutong is too lazy to ask. After all, these little girls are all under the control of the big girl, and they can't get close to her when they are idle.

In Lin Yuyang's yard, Lin Yutong only arranged two steady, responsible, and medium-looking girls. The rest are small guys.

After Lin Ruhai found out, he was very satisfied. Don't look at this girl, she doesn't grow up in a big family, but the doorway here can be understood at a glance.

Lin Ruhai's body is getting healthier and healthier, although nothing has been found out yet, but since there is no one from the Jia family in the house, his health has gradually improved without special protection. also indirectly proves that his body is indeed inseparable from the Jia family. Knowing this, it is enough.

He was now worried about his little daughter who was fostered in the Jia family, and when he was thinking about whether to take it back, Jia's mother Shi's letter arrived......
