Chapter 21 Lu Jing talks about Lin Daiyu's situation
With the experience of the past, Lu Jing was also a little hesitant, saying too much would inevitably arouse Lin Ruhai's suspicions, there is a way to be inseparable, Lin Ruhai broke off relations with the Lu family once for Jia Min back then, and he will not break off relations with the Lu family again because Lin Daiyu and the Jia family are more close.
Lu Jing decided that it was better to say less if it was bad to involve the Jia family, so he politely refused: "After all, the Jia family is the teacher's foreign family, and there are many people among them who are considered my elders, and the disciple should not be too much beak as a junior, not to mention that some things are only hearsay, and I don't know whether the news is true or false, if it is ......." ”
Lin Ruhai directly interrupted Lu Jing's words, and he also knew that his suspicion just now made Lu Jing worried.
"You don't have to worry about anything, you also know that Yu'er is such a daughter as a teacher, and she hasn't cared about Yu'er's news over the years, and she feels deeply guilty for her teacher, if you can say it, you can also let your teacher know some of Yu'er's situation, and a little bit of the teacher's guilt about Yu'er, as for the truth of the news, the teacher will judge."
Lu Jing saw that Lin Ruhai had said everything, so he simply stopped hiding it: "The disciple heard that there are often words about Sister Lin in Jiafu. ”
Lin Ruhai had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What did the Jia family say about Yu'er?" ”
"It is said that Sister Lin's character and handling of things are not as good as the Xue family's Bao girl, and there are some rumors that Sister Lin speaks harshly, and she is not generous in her usual actions, and every stroke of ink used is from the Jia family."
"I also said that Sister Lin is weak and often sick, and she has been taking medicine all year round, and I heard that when Sister Lin first arrived at Jia's house, she was careful every step of the way, and she always cared, and she refused to say a word easily, and she took one more step, lest she be laughed at by others."
Lu Jing said some of the comments of the Jia family on Lin Daiyu, but he also knew that Lin Daiyu had Shi Taijun's love over the years, and her mentality had changed from when she first entered Jia's Mansion.
Today's Lin Daiyu has long since lost her original prudence, at least a few months ago, when Zhou Rui's family sent palace flowers to Lin Daiyu, she was scolded by Lin Daiyu, if it was put on Lin Daiyu in the early days, even if Zhou Rui's family's move was extremely inappropriate, Lin Daiyu would never be able to say that.
However, he also understands Lin Daiyu's style of doing things, after all, some subordinates of the Jia family are too disagreeable, and slaves bully their masters from time to time.
If Lin Daiyu hadn't established a bad impression for herself, I am afraid that she would have been deceived by the descendants of the Jia family at will.
With a bang, Lin Ruhai angrily slapped the case, and said angrily: "What kind of ink is from Jiafu, every year I send 10,000 taels to Jiafu as Daiyu's upbringing silver, and every New Year's festival is a carload of good gifts into Jiafu, they treat my daughter like this, good, good, really good!" ”
Before Lin Ruhai came to Jiangnan as an official, he also spent a lot of time in Beijing, and he also knew very well about Jiafu's style of pumping oil and peeling skins to climb high and low, I am afraid that the money he sent had already been divided up by everyone in Jiafu.
Lin Ruhai was angry in his heart for a while, and he deeply hated the Jia family for betraying his trust, and let his subordinates slander Daiyu's reputation like this.
Then he thought about what Jia Fuli said that Daiyu was weak and often sick, and she was taking medicine all year round, which made outsiders listen to how Daiyu could get married.
"Teacher's anger!" Lu Jing hurriedly persuaded.
However, he keenly heard the meaning of Lin Ruhai's words, Lin Ruhai was transferring property to the Jia family, and it would be good for ordinary people to spend at most ten or twenty taels a year.
Lin Daiyu's annual expenses in Jiafu will come to an end with one or two hundred taels of silver, even if she is in brocade clothes and jade food, she is a little girl, and five hundred taels of silver a year is enough.
What's more, Lin Daiyu's life in Jiafu is extremely simple, how can she use 10,000 taels, not to mention the carload and carload of gifts mentioned by Lin Ruhai, which is very greasy, I am afraid that the silver that Lin Ruhai has sent to Jia's family over the years is no less than 100,000 taels.
And this kind of thing is difficult to hide from the eyes of people with a heart, as long as a little investigation can be investigated, it is no wonder that the emperor will give up Lin Ruhai, and the emperor also took the lead in taking Lin Ruhai to open the knife, it turned out that it was all because of Lin Ruhai's transfer of property.
I'm afraid that the emperor also suspected that Lin Ruhai had made enough money in Jiangnan, and turned around and wanted to run away, and the emperor should also suspect that Lin Ruhai was making money through the salt administration, and also conveyed the interests of Jiangnan to the Jia family.
Lu Jing sighed secretly, Lin Ruhai's step was too wrong, since ancient times, the royal family has been wary of honors and nobles befriending foreign officials, and they will take the initiative to provoke civil and military confrontations, the Jia family is now the backbone of Xungui, or the force standing on the opposite side of the emperor, how can Lin Ruhai's actions not make the emperor taboo.
And if Lin Ruhai dies, the property of the Lin family will be confiscated, even if Lin Ruhai is transferring his own property, it will make the emperor dissatisfied with his behavior.
According to the law of this dynasty, "Household Order, Household Assets", stipulates: "If there is no successor of the same family, the relatives and daughters born will inherit the shares; Those who have no women will be in office. ”
Lin Ruhai has no heirs and belongs to a desperate family, if Lin Daiyu has never married, she can get about a quarter of the Lin family's property and Jia Min's dowry.
The rest of the Lin family's money and property must be entered into the official, if the clan of the Gusu Lin family can arrange to inherit Lin Ruhai with an heir, they can also inherit the property of the Lin family.
However, Gusu is a distant relative of the Lin family, and I am afraid that Lin Ruhai does not want the Lin family's property to fall into their hands, nor does he want the Lin family's property to be confiscated into the official, so he took the opportunity of Lin Daiyu to raise him in Jiafu to secretly transfer his property.
Lin Ruhai saw that Lu Jing still had more words, and it seemed that there was something more unbearable, the strong ninja was angry, and continued to ask: "Huaijin, what other news do you have to tell one by one, as a teacher, I want to see how the Jia family treats Yu'er?" ”
Lin Ruhai did not suspect Lu Jing as before, because these news would know whether they were true or false as long as he inquired a little.
He believes that Lu Jing doesn't need to deceive him with some fake news, and he also knows the style of his outsiders, and he likes to say right and wrong, and it is not difficult to inquire about these news.
"I heard a message, but I don't know if I should tell the teacher?" Lu Jing said with some caution.
Because the next news needs to be opinionated, if you don't say it, I'm afraid it won't attract Lin Ruhai's attention to Mrs. Wang, but if you say it, I'm afraid it will also arouse Lin Ruhai's suspicion, suspecting that he is provoking the relationship between the two families of Lin and Jia.
Lin Ruhai guessed that there should be something more unbearable, and he tried his best to calm down: "You don't have to hide it, if you inquire about any news, just say it, whether it is true or false, and the teacher will tell if it is true!" ”
Lu Jing nodded when he heard this: "The disciple once heard a Jia family's mother-in-law talk about an incident, which is related to the second wife of the Jia family!" ”
"What's the matter?" Lin Ruhai asked, he understood why Lu Jing would ask him what he thought of the Jia Wang family at the beginning.
"That mother-in-law once had a meal with Mrs. Wang's companion Zhou Rui's family, and I heard that Zhou Rui's family said that the reason why the second wife of the Jia family didn't like Sister Lin seemed to be related to her mother."
"And Mrs. Wang once replaced the Imperial Doctor Wang who treated Sister Lin's illness and replaced it with Imperial Doctor Bao, and the disciple only heard that it was said that this Imperial Doctor Bao's medical skills were not as good as Imperial Doctor Wang."
Lu Jing pointed to the end, as the so-called intimate and unpretentious, even if he didn't say some things thoroughly, I believe Lin Ruhai would understand what he meant.
He didn't speculate on the deep meaning of Mrs. Wang's move, but Mrs. Wang didn't recognize Lin Daiyu as a fact, if Lin Ruhai didn't solve Mrs. Wang's estrangement with Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu would not have any good results even if she married.
"Huai Jin, is your news true?" Lin Ruhai tried his best to calm the anger in his heart and asked.
Although Lu Jing didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of the words was clearly implying that Jia Wang's family not only hated Daiyu, but also harmed his daughter.
"The disciple doesn't know, the source of this news is mostly from the Jia family, and the disciple just picks out some of the people who repeat it a lot and tells the teacher."
"As for the news about the second wife of the Jia family, it is a drunken statement, I'm afraid it can't be true, if the teacher is not at ease, he can also send someone to the Jia family to verify the truth and find out if it is true!"
Although Lu Jing said so, the news he told Lin Ruhai was true, and it was very easy to verify.
He believed that with Lin Ruhai's shrewdness, he would naturally send someone to investigate these news, and he only needed to fulfill the obligation to remind, saying too much would backfire and arouse Lin Ruhai's suspicions.
Lin Ruhai was silent for a while and then said in a deep voice: "I know about this matter, you go back first, as for the matter of getting out, you have to plan well for the teacher, you don't have to come over these days, just study hard at home!" ”
Lin Ruhai suddenly knew so many things, and he was confused for a while, and he had no intention of talking about other things at the moment.
"Yes, the disciple is retiring, and the teacher is asked to take care of his body!" When Lu Jing heard this, he hurriedly said respectfully, and then said goodbye to Lin Ruhai.
He also knew that he had said so many things to Lin Ruhai today, and almost every single one of them had a great impact on Lin Ruhai, presumably Lin Ruhai would also need some time to sort out these things.
After Lu Jing came out of the Lin family, his mood was much more relaxed, and now he has persuaded everything he should have been persuaded to, Lin Ruhai also has the idea of getting out, as for Lin Daiyu's matter, he also reminded him, and then it depends on how Lin Ruhai chooses.
Whether Lin Ruhai is thinking about Lin Daiyu's reputation, marrying Lin Daiyu to Jia Baoyu, or taking Lin Daiyu back to the Lin family, Lin Daiyu's marriage will not be smooth sailing.
If Lin Ruhai marries Lin Daiyu to Jia Baoyu, he must solve Mrs. Wang's problem, otherwise with Mrs. Wang's dislike of Lin Daiyu, even if it is for the sake of Shi Taijun and the Lin family, she will not torture Lin Daiyu in every way, I am afraid that she will be picky about Lin Daiyu in every way, and set some rules for Lin Daiyu, after all, the daughter-in-law cannot have a trace of disobedience in front of her mother-in-law, otherwise she will commit the crime of unfilial piety in the first of the seven.
If Lin Ruhai marries Lin Daiyu to someone else, I am afraid it will be even more difficult, and Lin Daiyu's affairs in Jiafu can be inquired about as long as he inquires a little.
Especially after the propaganda of the Jia family's subordinates, I am afraid that people will misunderstand Lin Daiyu's mean temperament and reputation, and Lin Daiyu will also be accused of immorality.
What's more, Lin Daiyu's health is not good, he still doesn't know what Lin Daiyu's body is, but the news he heard from the Jia family is probably not very good, and these factors together will undoubtedly make Lin Daiyu's marriage more difficult.
