Chapter 9 Grand View Garden inscription
The two brothers stepped into the main hall, only to see Daiyu sitting on the chair next to her, Yuxue was cute, and when she saw them coming in, she hurriedly left her seat and saluted, and called: "Third Uncle", "Fifth Uncle". Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info they looked at their wife's face again, it didn't look like they had made peace, half of them seemed to be surprised, and the other half seemed to be frightened.
The third aunt smiled nervously and said to Lin He, "Master, you come to see this." Lin He picked up the brocade box and took a look, and his face changed suddenly. Lin Yuan next to him was curious, and suddenly saw that his wife also had a brocade box in her hand, so he picked it up and opened it casually, and said in his mouth: "What is it, it scared the third brother like this." Before the words fell, his eyes fell on the brocade box, and he suddenly glued to it and couldn't move away.
I saw that there was a bright color like egg yolk lying quietly in the box, bright and gorgeous and psychic and clear gems, as if the moon was rising, and like the new molt of the rising sun, which made people feel thrilling at a glance, and then looked at it rather than give up their lives, and were reluctant to let this stone out. Lin Yuan's reaction was the same as Daiyu's five aunts, they all hurriedly closed the box, but they held it in their hands and refused to let go, as the saying goes, "It's not a family, you don't enter a family."
At this time, Lin Yuan also put the matter of the Changfang Trust behind him, and said to Daiyu: "If there is any difficulty in niece, if anyone bullies you, just tell me and the fifth aunt." ”
Daiyu pondered for a while and said, "There is nothing difficult at the moment, it's just one thing, I want to ask my uncles and aunts for an idea." ”
At this time, Lin Daiyu's third uncle, Lin He, also recovered from the shock of seeing Qingtian's best light freeze for the first time, and originally wanted to see what treasure Lin Yuan had, but at this time, he saw that Daiyu had something to say, so he hugged the brocade box containing the light freeze gem tightly and listened to her.
Daiyu said: "I was thinking about the books left by my father, and there were fifteen carts of them, and if they were piled up and locked in the house, it would be a waste to be bitten by insects and rats for a long time." It's better to find a college to donate it, and make the best use of it. Let's ask the two uncles to help me come up with an idea, which academy should I donate to? ”
Lin He and Lin Yuan glanced at each other and said, "This is a great thing. "Once these books are donated, there may be a few students who can be admitted to the Jinshi List to benefit from them, and it will also be beneficial to their careers. So they discussed. First of all, I said that it was donated to Suzhou Academy, and after discussing it for a long time, I felt that it was inappropriate. In recent years, there have been few children in Suzhou Academy, and most of the teachers in it are old and mediocre, so I am afraid that it is useless to send these books. If you want to put it in your own homeschool, it is inevitable that there are some regrets that you can't make the best use of it. The third aunt next to her listened for a long time, and couldn't help but interject with a smile: "You are all reasonable people, no more than me, an illiterate person who has never seen the world." But I'm illiterate and have an idea, I don't know if you listen or not? ”
Everyone in the room laughed together, and Daiyu smiled: "Third aunt, please come quickly." Lin He also looked at his wife with a smile and said, "I'm waiting to listen to my wife's opinions." ”
The third aunt pursed her lips and smiled for a long time, and said, "If you want to say that you are not as good as those rotten Confucians who are obsessed with literature and ink, why don't you know how to be flexible now?" Since my niece has this heart, we will simply expand our family education, and the homestead by the lake one or two miles to the edge of the city has a very good scenery and is empty, so it is better to set up another academy there, and our children are studying in it, and also recruit some foreign students with excellent character and learning, isn't it a great deed? Besides, the niece inherited a little inheritance, and outsiders looked at the same as if they didn't know how many mountains of gold and silver, they were all red and calculating, so it was better to take this opportunity to spend a flower, and also take the opportunity to cut off those snobbish thoughts. ”
When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but be moved. If a academy is built, Lin Ruhai loves books and cherishes talents very much in his life, and he will inevitably smile if he has knowledge under the spring. I haven't expressed my position yet, and I agree in my heart. After the third aunt mentioned this, Lin He and Lin Yuan also remembered the incident that they left behind, but was it not the trouble caused by the large share of family wealth left by Lin Ruhai?
It turned out that the long house saw Lin Ruhai, an uninherited incense (ancient women can only be regarded as members of their husband's family, and they are not considered descendants in their own family, sad. Speaking of which, now, there are many families with feudal concepts who understand it this way), so they made up their minds to pass on a child of the same generation as Daiyu, and to marry a wife and have children under the genealogy of Lin Ruhai's branch, all they thought about was to inherit Lin Ruhai's family business instead of Daiyu.
Lin He Lin Yuan originally agreed, but it was only because he couldn't grind his face, and Daiyu was young, such a big family business would be counted by her grandfather's family or her husband's family in the future, so it was better to stay in the Lin family and have a brother to support her. Now that they have received a superb stone, they feel that although Daiyu is young, they have a big idea in their hearts, so they have changed their minds and don't underestimate her anymore. Besides, the establishment of the academy is a great merit that benefits the community, and if it is completed, not only will the family property left by Lin Ruhai dare not be coveted at will, but it will also be a great benefit to their political achievements and reputation, which is enough to make the saints hear about it and remember it in their hearts.
There was no shortage of money to build a academy, and the place was ready-made, so the idea was immediately decided, and the topic changed to who to invite, when to start construction, and how to lay out the scale of construction; The fifth aunt is not an ordinary boudoir woman, and she has many ideas on the side, all of which are impressive. So Lin He and Lin Yuan were not in a hurry to go back to office, so they got together overnight to get a charter, and treated Daiyu directly as an adult, and brought it to discuss with her early in the morning.
Daiyu nodded in agreement, and then called the housekeeper, and roughly estimated that it would cost seven or eight million taels of silver. I asked about the bank's silver turnover, and the housekeeper said that he could barely move it. The Lord's house has to spend money, and there is no reason to be a steward. Besides, he has been cold-eyed in the past few days, not only the second master from the Jia family looks like he is going to be the master of Daiyu, but the long house of the Lin family in Suzhou will also treat him as his own housekeeper at will. Thinking that Daiyu inherited this family fortune, just like a three-year-old child holding a piece of priceless jade in the middle of the downtown area, the slightest carelessness will attract the scramble of all forces. When the time comes, not only will Daiyu be unable to protect herself, but even their domestic servants will be in danger.
The housekeeper thought about it again and again, so he boldly offered Daiyu a plan: "Now that the eldest lady wants to build a academy, our family might as well take the opportunity to transfer out some conspicuous and unprofitable shops, and only wait for the high bid, but let everyone know, in this way, others will think that the eldest lady has almost exhausted her family property in order to build the academy, and there are few left, so it is not worth worrying about." ”
Daiyu listened to it very reasonably, greatly praised the housekeeper, and ordered him to do it. The housekeeper's heart is also joyful, he has handled all kinds of things in the academy, and it will also benefit his children and grandchildren in the future.
