Chapter Thirty-Six: The People of Jiafu Discuss Lin's Family Affairs (II)
Hearing Mrs. Wang talk about Yuanchun, Shi Taijun's heart was a little shaken, since her daughter died, she had no affection for Lin Ruhai for a long time, and she couldn't wait to get all the Lin family's property to the Jia family.
And with the power of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, there is room for manipulation in this matter, the Zhen family and the Lin family are enemies, and no one will doubt that the Lin family will transfer the property to the Zhen family, but in this way, it is too wronged Daiyu.
Jia Yu couldn't help but say: "Since there is the guarantee of the Zhen family, let's just let Lian'er go, if it can be successful, it is good, if not, we can also take this opportunity to send my niece back." ”
"Recently, the clansmen of Jinling have written to complain, saying that they have all been implicated this time, and life is not easy."
"In my opinion, Lin Ruhai didn't even say hello, so he attacked our clansmen in Jinling, which shows that he didn't treat us as relatives at all."
Mrs. Wang has served Shi Taijun all her life, and she has long seen that Shi Taijun has been tempted, but she can't rest assured that her granddaughter is not at ease.
She hurriedly persuaded: "Right now, let's let our niece live with us, in case we are implicated, neither of them will end well, why don't we send our niece away first and keep our family first." ”
"In my opinion, my niece will at most be exiled to the Sect Division or sold into slavery, and when the time comes, we will rescue the niece again and take her back to our house for settlement, so that others will not say anything, and we can also have a good reputation!"
Mrs. Wang calculated in her heart that it would be okay for the old lady to take Daiyu back again, anyway, as the daughter of Daiyu's criminal minister, she would not be able to be Baoyu's wife anyway.
At that time, she can also follow the old lady's wishes and point Daiyu to Baoyu as an aunt, which can be regarded as fulfilling the affection of relatives, and at the same time maintaining her long-standing Buddhist personality.
Jia Yu saw that the daughter-in-law of the second family had been persuading the old lady, and his daughter-in-law was pretending to be deaf and dumb without saying a word, and his heart was suddenly dissatisfied, he immediately glared at Mrs. Xing and motioned for her to speak.
Mrs. Xing's presence in the Jia family was extremely low, and there was no room for her to speak on this occasion, and she echoed what everyone said.
But at this time, she saw her master's signal, and hurriedly echoed: "I think this is also very good, in this way, not only will no one gossip, but we can also get a reputation for being kind to orphan girls!" ”
After Mrs. Xing finished speaking, she saw that Jia Yu was still signaling, so she had to bite the bullet and continue: "When Miss Lin gets married, she must also have a dowry, let's get some Lin family's silver, and we should save a dowry for Miss Lin." ”
When Jia Yu heard Mrs. Xing say this, he was immediately angry, he hated his daughter-in-law for not being able to speak, and hurriedly remedied: "In my opinion, the situation on my brother-in-law's side is extremely bad, and I think he will also plan for his niece." ”
"Maybe my brother-in-law is waiting for us to come over and help him plan for the future, and we are doing this for the sake of our niece."
Although Shi Taijun was reluctant to Daiyu in her heart, she thought of the Jia family, Yuanchun, and the Lin family's property, and finally made up her mind to send Daiyu back to Yangzhou temporarily.
I was going to wait for the limelight to come back before I got over, so I said, "In that case, you guys go down and call the people of the Lin family over tomorrow!" ”
Shi Taijun thought for a while and said: "We can't do too much about this, we still have to take care of the face of our house." ”
"Second brother, you first write to your brother-in-law and tell him that we are doing this for Yu'er, no matter what happens to him in the end, our house will definitely treat Yu'er well."
Although according to Lin Ruhai's intentions, he may not want Daiyu to go back, but the situation has reached this point, all parties are putting pressure on the Jia family, and Shi Taijun doesn't care so much, so he can only break off the involvement with the Lin family first and take the Jia family out.
And she felt that what her eldest son said was also reasonable, now that the Lin family has reached this point, there is no room for recovery, and at this time, it is also for Daiyu's future to transfer some of the Lin family's property.
The Jia family helped the Lin family arrange the funeral, which can be regarded as a solution to Lin Ruhai's heart, and I believe that Lin Ruhai will also cooperate with the Jia family.
Although Jia Zheng felt that this move was extremely inappropriate, Shi Taijun had already decided that he would not dare to disobey, so he could only tell Lin Ruhai the original intention of the Jia family, hoping that Lin Ruhai would not misunderstand the Jia family, and he was going to the Lin family's property.
At the same time, in order to compensate for his guilt towards Lin Ruhai, he also stated in the letter that if he could, he would try his best to promote the marriage of the Jia Lin family and would not let Daiyu be wronged.
Early the next morning, Lin Daiyu was crying secretly in the room with dark circles under her eyes, Zijuan ran in in a panic, panting and said, "Girl, hurry, hurry, someone from the south said to let the girl go to the old lady!" ”
Lin Daiyu immediately had a bad premonition in her heart, wiped her tears, and immediately said, "You rest first, I'll go to my grandmother's!" ”
Saying that, she didn't care about greeting Chunxian and Snow Goose, so she walked out quickly, everyone was afraid that Lin Daiyu would fall, so they hurriedly followed her, and kept shouting along the way: "Girl, slow down, don't fall!" ”
But Lin Daiyu was so anxious, where could she listen to it, she couldn't wait to rush to Shi Taijun immediately.
When Lin Daiyu came to Shi Taijun, she was already a little out of breath.
When Shi Taijun saw Daiyu like this, he held Daiyu in his arms in distress and gave Daiyu a good breath, while blaming Daiyu for not caring about himself.
At the same time, she hesitated again in her heart, not knowing whether her decision was right or wrong, but when she thought of the Jia family, she was still ruthless, and she could only try to compensate Daiyu in the future.
Lin Daiyu was anxious, and she couldn't care about Shi Taijun's blame, so she saw a cramped old man standing in the middle.
Daiyu vaguely remembered that he was the old housekeeper of the mansion, and Shi Taijun was holding a letter in his hand, which was the letter that Lin Zhong sent to Jiafu half a month ago.
"Grandmother! But news from my father? Lin Daiyu hurriedly asked.
"Yu'er, don't worry!" Shi Taijun held Daiyu in his arms and comforted him gently.
At the same time, her heart is also full of reluctance, after all, Daiyu has been raised by her side for five or six years, and she is usually well-behaved and sensible, and she also has a special feeling for Daiyu.
Daiyu's mother is her most beloved youngest daughter, and Daiyu is also her most beloved granddaughter, but in this situation, the Jia family is in a dilemma, and she can't help blaming Lin Ruhai for being too troubled and making it difficult for the Jia family.
Lin Zhong has been in Beijing for more than half a month, and he has been shirked by the Jia family before saying that Lin Daiyu is not in good health and cannot see each other for the time being.
Lin Ruhai had not been assassinated when he entered Beijing, and ten days after he arrived in the capital, the news of Lin Ruhai's assassination came from Jiangnan.
After hearing the news, Lin Zhong was anxious and wanted to go back to Yangzhou, but he went to Jiafu several times to ask to see him, but he had not seen Lin Daiyu.
"Old slave to meet Miss!" Lin Zhong hurriedly greeted him, his young lady was six years old when she entered Beijing, and it has been almost six years, and she has changed a lot, but she is still vaguely the same as she was back then.
"Are you Steward Lin?" Lin Daiyu also confirmed who was coming, and hurriedly said: "Steward Lin, please get up, you are an elder, you should have been a gift to Daiyu, but Daiyu was worried about her father, and asked Steward Lin to tell me, what happened to my father?" ”
"Miss Hui, the old slave is Lin Zhong!" Lin Zhong replied, and then he looked at Shi Taijun pleadingly, hoping that Shi Taijun would tell Lin Daiyu about the situation on Lin Ruhai's side.
Shi Taijun sighed in his heart, handed the letter to Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, your father is not in good health and wants to see you!" ”
When Lin Daiyu heard this, tears overflowed instantly, she read the letter tremblingly, and saw that her father said in the letter that she hadn't seen her for several years, and she missed Daiyu very much, and Wanwangguo Mansion took care of Daiyu, so that Daiyu didn't have to worry about it, and she would take Daiyu back after a while.
Although this is not a letter written to her by her father, in Daiyu's opinion, every word in the letter is full of her father's deep thoughts and deep concern for her.
Her tears flowed even more violently like a flood from a dam, instantly cutting off her vision and making her unable to read the contents of the letter any longer.
Shi Taijun wiped her tears, hugged Daiyu in her arms in distress, and shouted for the comfort of her heart, she even had a momentary impulse to keep Daiyu by her side, but many forces put pressure on the Jia family, and she could only harden her heart.
Lin Daiyu wiped her endless tears and begged: "I beg my grandmother to be fulfilled, Daiyu wants to go home to visit her father!" ”
Whether it was her father's affairs or the attitude of the Jia family towards her, she didn't want to stay in Jia Mansion any longer, she only wanted to return to Lin Ruhai as soon as possible.
Shi Taijun looked at Daiyu, who was crying like a tearful person, and was silent for a long time, and sighed heavily: "Alas! That's it! ”
"Yu'er don't cry, grandmother will arrange for someone to send you back!"
Lin Zhong was a little anxious when he heard this, when he came, Lin Ruhai specially explained that Daiyu should stay in Jiafu with peace of mind, and never let Daiyu return to Yangzhou.
He stood anxiously, rubbed his hands and feet, and wanted to speak directly to Lin Ruhai's explanation, but was stopped by Shi Taijun with his eyes.
Shi Taijun didn't give him a chance to speak, so he asked Lin Zhong to be sent out.
Lin Zhong came out of Jiafu, and he was immediately anxious, and now he didn't know what the situation was on the Jiangnan side, but looking at the battle in the capital, the Jiangnan side was not good.
The master is already in a difficult situation, and now the Jia family wants to send Daiyu back, in case it is known, wouldn't they use Daiyu to threaten the master.
And from the capital to Yangzhou, the road is far away, in case anyone wants to take revenge on the lord and hurt Daiyu on the way, he will not be to blame.
But the Jia family had made up their minds, and he couldn't change the decision of the Jia family, so he had to send someone back to Yangzhou first to report the matter to Lin Ruhai.
Shi Taijun comforted Lin Daiyu, and then asked people to help Daiyu go down to rest, and then summoned Jia Lian and asked him to prepare to send Lin Daiyu south to Yangzhou.
After Lin Daiyu returned to the room, she couldn't wait to let Zijuan, Xueyan and others pack up their things, she was clear-minded, and she always felt that her father's affairs were not so simple.
Previously, the people in the house said that her father had committed an accident, and now her grandmother told her that her father was not in good health, but no matter what the situation was, it made her panic, worry, and heartbreak.
She didn't have time to care about her grandmother's thoughts about sending her back to Yangzhou at the moment, and she just wanted to be able to return to her father as soon as possible.
