Chapter 2 Too Illusory

Seeing Jia Lian leave with Wang'er with an unhappy face, the housekeeper was also in a happy mood. In recent days www.biquge.info this second master of the Jia family has added a lot of blockages to him.

Worried that the main family had something to do, the housekeeper quickly restrained his smug expression and let Daiyu and Aunt Ye into the house.

This front hall was originally used as the steward of the Zhuangzi shop, and doubled as a place to deal with the outside people's exchanges, and the two houses next to it were the account rooms. The two bookkeepers with glasses inside hurriedly stood up, and the butler introduced to them:

"This is the eldest lady." The two bookkeepers hurriedly made a move.

Daiyu said "hard work", asked a few words about the recent expenses in the house, and gave the two accounts a monthly payment, and told the housekeeper not to wait slowly, so he went out of the account room to the front hall to talk.

To prevent Jia Lian from meddling in the Lin family's family business, everything has to be careful.

The butler took out a fold beside him, on which were written the guests who had come to pay their respects. The number of people is not very large, because as soon as Lin Ruhai died, there was only one orphan girl left in the Lin family, and no one could provoke the big beam worthy of their knots, so those who had interests turned elsewhere and were busy flattering the new Salt Inspector Yushi who was about to take office.

Daiyu took it and looked at it, only to see that there were dozens of colleagues in the Yangzhou prefect, the prefect of the county, the county order and the transportation of salt, as well as a few Jinshi in the same department as Lin Ruhai, and a number of distant relatives who were related to the deceased. She saw the word "Lin" from the beginning to the end, so she asked again: "Have you ever sent someone to your hometown to report the news?" ”

Lin Ruhai's hometown is in Suzhou.

The housekeeper hesitated for a long time and said, "What the master means is that the relatives in Gusu's hometown are all out of five suits, and there are very few contacts. There was also the filth left by their ancestors, so it was decided not to call them over, but to send someone to inform them. ”

Daiyu's memory doesn't have much impression of her relatives in Gusu's hometown, but she only remembers that when she sent Lin Ruhai's coffin back for burial in her previous life, she saw a few people, and Jia Lian stopped her in it, and she didn't say a few words.

Aunt Ye observed her words and said to the housekeeper:

"I should send someone to invite my relatives from my hometown."

The housekeeper smiled bitterly: "The master has an explanation before he dies, there is no need to send someone to invite him, and all the affairs are waiting for the eldest lady and the relatives who accompanied the Jia family to discuss the matter." In Lin Ruhai's previous letters, he revealed the meaning of entrusting Daiyu to Jiafu, which is also the reason why Jia Lian dared to meddle in the Lin family's accounts in a big way.

What Lin Ruhai didn't expect was that he entrusted it wrongly, and the family business was given away in vain, and he also took the life of his young daughter.

"Since the first person sent someone to inform you, there is no need to send someone to pick it up." Daiyu said. The housekeeper and Aunt Ye both understood that Lin Ruhai's funeral was just a few days away, and it was too late to send someone to pick him up. The Salt Patrol Imperial History Mansion is not comparable to other places, and it is already a rare grace for the saint to be gracious and allowed to mourn in the mansion. The new Salt Inspector is about to take office, and they must get everything in order before the other arrives.

"Tell me about the housekeeper's current situation at home, right?" Lin Daiyu asked the housekeeper.

How much property the Lin family has, she has to know it in her heart, so that she can more clearly understand how much benefit Mrs. Wang and her ilk have received in the previous life.

Seeing Daiyu asking about the current situation, the housekeeper knew that he was asking Lin Ruhai how much property he had left behind, so he motioned for Daiyu to go outside. Aunt Ye followed behind, but Snow Goose was sent back by Aunt Ye to give Daiyu a hand stove.

The road leading to the courtyards is quiet and there are few people, Lin Ruhai has always advocated frugality, so the Lin family is not as good as the Jia family, and there are little maids everywhere. After Lin Ruhai's death, the servants in the house sent out a batch of them, and most of the people who are waiting everywhere now are the sons of the Lin family.

Aunt Ye, the housekeeper and Daiyu talked as they walked towards Aunt Ye's yard. Daiyu learned that there were still two million taels of silver in the account, and there were nearly 100 shops in Suzhou and Yangzhou, as well as dozens of Zhuangzi. This is the family business accumulated by the four generations of the Lin family, and after it reached the hands of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, not only did it not squander, but it snowballed and became more and more prosperous.

"Butler, if these shops are sold, how much silver will they sell?" Daiyu asked, the look on her face was not surprised, but faint.

"Is the eldest lady going to sell the shop?" The housekeeper's heart was shocked, most of those shops were doing well, and it would be a pity if they were sold directly. However, after all, Lin Daiyu was the master of the Lin family, so he had to suppress the opinion in his heart and tell the truth one by one: "If the shop carefully looks for a buyer one by one, it can be sold for 20 million taels." If the eldest lady is in a hurry to cash in and even deal with the goods, although the loss is too much, she can also sell it for about 10 million taels. ”

Daiyu pursed her lips and did not speak. Jia Lian, the previous life, sold all the shops and Zhuangzi within two or three months, and if the shop was calculated alone, there would be an input of 10 million taels of silver, plus the Grange, and the three million taels of silver in the account, I am afraid that it would not be less than 15 million taels.

So what Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng said, "Where can I make another two or three million fortunes", but what they are talking about is not all the property of the Lin family, but the oil and water that Jia Lian and his wife have made in it.

What is the whereabouts of those shops, who bought them, Daiyu, who lives in Jiafu, has not heard any news. If you want to come to the Wang family and the Xue family, who are in-laws with the Wang family, you will not miss this good opportunity.

Aunt Ye took Daiyu into her courtyard, and the housekeeper only waited in the outer hall. Aunt Ye instructed the little maids and the girls to go outside to guard, and she went into the inner room and took out a box and came to the outer hall. The housekeeper took a key from his neck and opened the lock on the box, Aunt Ye opened the box, only to see a small black box inside. She took a small key from her body, unlocked the outside of the box, and then lifted the lid of the box and moved the small box in front of Daiyu.

There was a thick pile of paper covered with seals in the box, about a hundred sheets. Daiyu flipped through it roughly, only to see that it was full of shop deeds. Pick up this dozen house deeds, and then look at the bottom of a delicate seal pressed with a pile of tissue paper, pick it up and look, but it is the title deed of Zhuangzi.

All the real estate of the Lin family is locked in this small box.

In her previous life and rebirth, it was the first time for Daiyu to have such an intuitive contact with her family property. She covered the box, relocked the lock, and handed the two keys to the housekeeper and Aunt Ye one each.

Who knew that the housekeeper resolutely did not take back the key again, and even Aunt Ye refused again and again. In addition to avoiding suspicion, the Lin family's huge fortune is in front of them, and the age of the master is extremely young, so they are afraid that they will have some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Seeing that the housekeeper was determined not to take over the key, Daiyu turned to speak to Aunt Ye: "Where does Auntie plan to go in the future?" ”

Aunt Ye knew that Lin Daiyu, as the new master of the Lin family, of course had the right to send herself, so she could only reply with a wry smile: "It's all up to the eldest lady to send it." ”

Aunt Ye was sold to the Lin family as a concubine for many years, her parents had already passed away, and the only brother was not close. If you can be sent to the Lin family's old house in Gusu to guard, although it is more difficult than before, it is also a rare and good place.

It's just that she didn't dare to say these words, she just thought about them in her heart.

Daiyu said: "I know that my aunt must be thinking of going home to reunite with her relatives, but Daiyu has a reluctant invitation here. ”

Aunt Ye listened to the previous sentence, and was worried that Lin Daiyu was really going to send her back to her hometown, but suddenly heard the next sentence with a twist, and hurriedly waited for the next sentence with bated breath.

I only heard Daiyu continue: "Our family has a lot of business, and I am still young, so outsiders are afraid of looking at it. My parents have passed away, and my aunt is half an elder, and I begged my aunt to postpone returning to my hometown and stay to help me take care of the family business. ”

Aunt Ye couldn't believe her ears.

After Jia Min died, as the concubine who followed Lin Ruhai for the longest time in the house, Aunt Ye also managed some of the house's chores, which was limited to the expenses for food in the house, as well as the clothes and monthly money of several other aunts.

Daiyu added seriously: "It's not for my aunt to take it all, the housekeeper still does things according to the rules of my father's time, and if there is something, I will discuss it with my aunt, and then let people talk to me." ”

Daiyu thought about it, the Lin family did not have close relatives, so in such a short time, she still had to rely on the big tree of Jiafu. Otherwise, an orphan girl will have an inheritance of tens of millions, and she will be eaten by all forces in a few minutes.

Jiafu, she is going. It's just that the family property will not be handed over easily. Mrs. Wang needs money to build a yard for the sake of the concubine's family, right? Then write an IOU to borrow it.

Daiyu's heart happily made a small calculation.
