Lin Rui didn't say what he wanted to prepare for, first, Baoyu has not been motivated, who dares to advance in front of Baoyu, isn't that poking Mrs. Wang's heart and lungs?

"Ahem, it turned out that my sister was unwell, so she took care of it at home, and then she didn't go after a long time, and she could read at home. ”

Mrs. Wang didn't ask much, the children's families have no character, and it is common for them to be unwilling to read, and they are still bored when they see serious books when they see Baoyu, so they also think that Lin Rui is the same, so he said,

"Yes, you are still young, even if you are not bad at studying, you will not be bad for a while, take care of your body, and spend more time with your sister. ”

Lin Rui was noncommittal.

Mrs. Wang cared for her for a while, Daiyu and Lin Rui were very suspicious, so they could only respond to all changes with no change, and finally Mrs. Wang said her intentions in the future, but she also made Lin Rui angry enough.

"Big girl, when Aunt Lin went, it seemed that she donated a million taels of silver to the imperial court, but?"

Daiyu said secretly, finally here, "Exactly." She wouldn't say a word.

Mrs. Wang replied to the difficulty,

"Now you also know the things at home, more out and less in, and it is difficult, I thought that your children's daily life does not need anything, so I thought if I could borrow some silver to come out and turn over one or two, and when the turnover came, it would be returned to you. ”

For orphans and weak girls like Daiyu and Lin Rui, Mrs. Wang is not as kind as Aunt Xue.

If she could, she still thought that she could embezzle it directly, and she didn't have to ask for a little girl, but Lin Ruhai did a good thing at the beginning, not to mention the family property that donated one million taels, and the money was not donated in vain, although the property left to Daiyu was stored in the treasury of the house.

But the list is in triplicate, one is in the court, one is in Daiyu's own hands, and one is in the old lady's hand, so one is missing, and when Daiyu gets married, it is found out by the court, and it is also a troublesome matter, only Daiyu agrees.

Daiyu pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know how much silver do you want, wife?"

Seeing that Daiyu did not object, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Your aunt just sent 50,000 taels of silver over, and you two children don't have to be so much, but just give 10,000 or 20,000!"

Lin Rui blushed, clenched his fists, and was about to stand up, but Daiyu on the other side stepped on it and endured it.

Mrs. Wang took the upper seat, and the small movements of the two of them were clear, but they didn't take it to heart, they just stared at Daiyu and didn't speak, Lin Rui was just a stepson, only Daiyu was the maid of the in-laws, Lin Rui was reluctant to pay the money, but the Lin family couldn't take his turn to call the shots!

Mrs. Wang just looked at Lin Daiyu, completely ignoring Lin Rui on the side, and made him even more angry.

Daiyu lowered her eyes with affection and replied,

"Yu'er and Brother Rui have been raised in the house since childhood, thanks to the care of the house, and have been deeply favored by the house for many years, now since the family is in difficulty, we can't stand idly by, but the family property was donated to the court by my father, and most of the books and ancient books were left, and my wife also knew, we didn't dare to compare with my aunt's family, so we gave 20,000 taels of silver!"

"Okay! The old lady often said that the eldest girl is polite and gracious, and sure enough, we will not forget you if we have your money to get through the trouble today.

I remember that the girl had some old diseases, and I heard the doctor say, bird's nest is your disease, and it just so happens that my golden bird's nest is the most nourishing body, and I will let people send it to you. ”

After a motherly statement, people who are not familiar with her still think she is Daiyu's own mother, but they don't know that this sincere love was bought by Daiyu with 20,000 taels of silver.

Daiyu excused herself and said, "My aunt is not more tired, my body is like this, whether it is good or bad, the golden bird's nest is precious, Baoyu's body is weak, let's leave it to him!"

It's just that my wife is also in charge of the house, and she knows our family background, and 20,000 taels of silver is already the most we can take out, and my brother and I just want to live a low-key and peaceful life, and I hope that my wife will be successful. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face stiffened, and she said with a haha, "This is natural. ”

Daiyu said that Mrs. Wang was naturally not very happy to give out the silver only this time, but since she said this, Mrs. Wang could only agree.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Mrs. Wang is not willing to stay longer, and after talking for a while, she left, Lin Rui was angry, and she didn't want to get up to send her at all, or Daiyu sent her out.

Before he was sent out of the courtyard gate, he listened to the sound of ping-pong in the room, and after a while, Daiyu stopped, and waited until the sound stopped, and then lifted his feet and went in.

Lin Rui was like an angry lion cub, sitting on the ground panting.

Daiyu scolded, "It's your characterization, it's better not to go to the scientific examination, it saves you from harming others and yourself, and it will affect your father's reputation!"

Lin Rui stood up and opened his mouth to say, "How is it my qualitative question, that old pious woman is 20,000 taels of silver when she opens her mouth, and she thinks that our silver fell from the sky, or did the wind blow!"

Daiyu scolded, "It's not our silver, it's my silver, good men don't eat family meals, all this money and property are left to me by my father, is it possible that you want to go too!"

Lin Rui opened his mouth and said aggrievedly, "Sister, you obviously know that I don't mean that! This money is naturally yours, and when you get married, you can just take it all away, I just don't look down on her blatant behavior of grabbing money!"

Daiyu saw that he was calm, so she softened her tone and said, "We always have to suffer some grievances if we send people under the fence, if I hadn't stopped you, wouldn't you have to argue with your wife?"

"Even if there is a dispute, it is also her fault to get into trouble with the old lady!

Hearing the old lady, Daiyu was in a little trance, and then came back to her senses, hammered him, and said viciously,

"You're going to participate in the scientific examination, move around at this time, as long as she looks unhappy and moves the slightest bit of hands and feet, do you want the future of your life!

Speaking of the future, Lin Rui was helpless, "Damn!" Viciously clenching his fist and hammering it on the ground, Daiyu hurriedly grabbed his arm when he saw it, and said,

"You are in a hurry, no matter how angry you are, you can't be angry with this hand, you don't see that after Brother Huan'er injured his hand, he can only practice martial arts, practice three times in winter and three times in summer, can you stand it?"

With tears in his eyes, Lin Rui made up his mind with tears in his voice, and said, "Sister, I will definitely take the exam well, and when I become an official, I will see who can bully us!"

Daiyu couldn't stand it for a while, tilted her head, wiped her tears, and comforted, "Just like you said, if Mrs. does this, the old lady will not be satisfied, let's just see what the old lady will do!"

Lin Rui and Daiyu snuggled up to each other and asked, "Will the old lady help us?"

"Yes!"

However, to the disappointment of the two, in the next few days, in the Rongguo Mansion, the Grand View Garden was calm, and there was no difference as usual, as if there was no such thing.

There was no news coming from the Warm Fragrance Dock, but the lights in the library or Yuyin Hall were always on until midnight in the middle of the night.
