After the two finished talking about the Jia family, Lin Ruhai asked Lu Jing tentatively: "Huaijin, you have always been resourceful, for the sake of today's plan, how should you solve some of the involvement with the Jia family?" ”

"The teacher might as well marry Fang Jimu, so that he can completely break off his in-laws with the Jia family!" Lu Jing gave a suggestion to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle.

"When your master and mother went to the fairy, the idea of continuing the strings was interrupted as a teacher!" Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, then stared at Lu Jing with burning eyes and said, "The teacher plans to set a marriage for Yu'er, so that the Jia family's thoughts can be broken!" ”

When Lu Jing heard this, he immediately looked at Lin Ruhai.

The two looked at each other, and instantly saw the nervousness in each other's eyes.

Lu Jing no longer hesitated, and immediately bowed down and said, "Although the disciple is not talented, I am willing to recommend myself to the teacher Mao Sui and ask to marry Sister Lin!" ”

After speaking, Lu Jing stared at Lin Ruhai in an extremely nervous mood, waiting for his response.

Lin Ruhai's nervous heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and his face couldn't hide the expression of joy.

These days, Daiyu's marriage has become a problem in his heart, he originally just wanted to test Lu Jing, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and he was suddenly deeply comforted, and then realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly restrained his smile, and forced a serious statement: "Yu'er is the jewel in the palm of the teacher, the treasure in the arms, and the only concern for the teacher for the rest of his life." ”

"If I hand over Yu'er to you, how can you ensure that Yu'er is not wronged?"

Seeing Lin Ruhai's reaction, Lu Jing knew that the big thing had been decided, and while feeling relaxed and happy in his heart, he hurriedly assured Lin Ruhai: "Sister Lin has unparalleled appearance and outstanding talent, she is a rare strange woman in the world, and the disciple will definitely treat it as a treasure, love and care for it, and take care of Sister Lin for the rest of her life." ”

Lin Ruhai looked at Lu Jing scrutinically, and Lu Jing also looked at each other calmly.

After a long time, Lin Ruhai nodded happily with a little sourness: "I will write to you as a teacher in a few days and discuss this matter with your second uncle!" ”

Lin Ruhai finally chose to believe Lu Jing, although he felt that he couldn't see through Lu Jing and was a little uneasy. But he agrees with Lu Jing's character, especially in his attitude towards his family.

Lu Jing was relieved when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for the teacher's success, the disciple will also write to the second uncle, and ask the second uncle to come forward to propose marriage for the disciple." ”

Lin Ruhai nodded, and after chatting with Lu Jing for a few more words, he sent Lu Jing away.

After Lu Jing withdrew from Lin Ruhai's study, he had been calming down his excitement, and after returning to the house, he immediately wrote a letter to Lu Jun, who was far away in Fengyang, explaining the matter.

Although Lin Ruhai solved his daughter's marriage, he always felt a little reluctant in his heart.

After thinking alone in the study for a long time and adjusting his mentality, he came to Daiyu's small courtyard and told Daiyu about it.

Lin Daiyu was extremely happy after hearing this, and said with a shy face: "Daddy can call the shots!" ”

Lin Ruhai looked at his daughter's expression, his heart completely settled down, and said with a smile: "That's good, after this matter is agreed, the father will make a marriage contract for the two of you!" ”

"Hmm!" Lin Daiyu replied in a low voice, the haze in her heart for days dissipated in an instant!

"With Huaijin's temperament, you will definitely not be wronged, so you can rest assured as a father!" After Lin Ruhai explained a few words to Daiyu, he returned to the study to write a letter to Lu Jun, although he was reluctant, he still planned to agree on the matter as soon as possible.

Yeongkook Mansion, inside the Lixiang Temple.

Aunt Xue asked Xue Baochai with a worried face: "Daughter, how much do you think our family should lend to them?" ”

The Jia family originally wanted Lin Ruhai to give more silver taels, but in the end, even if Shi Taijun came forward, he only got 20,000 taels from Lin Ruhai.

Everyone in the Jia family was extremely dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai, so they hit the Xue family again, and Mrs. Wang personally found Aunt Xue and said that she wanted to borrow 200,000 taels of silver.

"Mom, how are you going to do that?" Xue Baochai asked calmly.

"Your aunt speaks in person, and we can't refuse, but this amount is too big!" Aunt Xue said with a sad face.

The Jia family wants to borrow such a large amount of silver to make her lose her proportion, they are still living in the Jia Mansion, and they still have to rely on the Jia family for everything, if they don't borrow or borrow less, they can't say it on the face, and it will make the Jia family unhappy, but if they really lend the Jia family 200,000 taels, she is worried that the Jia family can't repay the silver.

"My daughter heard that the old man of the Lin family also passed over today, I don't know how much silver the Lin family has paid?" Xue Baochai asked in a deep voice.

"I heard your aunt say that this Lin family is a door-picker, only 20,000 taels, just now your aunt complained that the Lin family is ungrateful, the girl of the Lin family has lived in the house for five or six years, and the Lin family only took out this bit of silver!"

Aunt Xue complained and was also a little jealous of the Lin family, the Lin family could refuse the Jia family's loan, but they couldn't.

"Then we can't come out so much!" Xue Baochai persuaded that she had lived in the Jia family for so long and knew the foundation of the Jia family, so they really couldn't pay back the money.

"But your affairs still have to rely on the Jia family, I heard that your aunt means to settle the affairs of you and Baoyu through this matter!" Aunt Xue said hesitantly.

Xue Baochai fell silent when she heard this, when their family entered Beijing, her uncle wanted her to marry Baoyu, and when the time came, there would be Sister Feng in the long room of Rongguo Mansion, and she in the second room, plus her aunt, the three of them would be able to completely control the Jia family.

However, she was not willing to let the Xue family become a vassal of the Wang family, and planned to participate in the draft to fight for the family and herself, but things were not satisfactory, and she was finally defeated.

Now she can only honestly follow her uncle's plan, and her mother also wants her to marry Baoyu and help her brother when the time comes.

When she planned the match between Jin Suo and Baoyu last year, she knew that this would have a great impact on her reputation, but she couldn't help it, their family had no one in charge, and they needed to rely on the Wang family for everything, and it was even more difficult for her to disobey her uncle Wang Ziteng's order.

She was not very satisfied with Jia Baoyu at first, she felt that Baoyu was not very motivated, and it would be difficult to establish a family business in the future, but among the many in-laws in their family, only Baoyu was outstanding in terms of family background and conduct, she had limited communication, and she could not see other outsiders, and she lacked more comparison objects, so she could only choose Jia Baoyu in general.

After pondering for a while, Xue Baochai said unwillingly: "This 200,000 taels is too much!" ”

Although the Xue family is the richest, 200,000 taels will not make them break their bones, but 200,000 taels is also a huge amount of silver for them, especially the Xue family's business has gradually declined over the years, and it is all supported by the silver left over the years.

"Daughter, how much do you think we should borrow?" Aunt Xue regarded Baochai as the backbone and let Baochai take the idea.

Xue Baochai looked at the mother of the six gods and no owner, sighed in his heart, hesitated for a long time and said: "At most, 100,000 taels, Mom, you promise to borrow 50,000 taels tomorrow, just say that our business turnover is not open, there is not so much cash, if your aunt is dissatisfied, you say that you try to turn over another 50,000 taels!" ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Aunt Xue nodded in response, then looked at Baochai and asked, "Daughter, what do you think of Baoyu, I think Baoyu is an excellent one, and she is a good match for you, and your aunt will take care of you in the house, so I don't think you will be wronged." ”

"Mom, it's up to you and your aunt to decide this matter!" Although Xue Baochai said this, she was a little sad in her heart, there was originally a Lin girl in the house, and she didn't have much thought about Baoyu when she was to be elected, but now that she is unsuccessful, she can only marry Baoyu according to the family's plan.

Since ancient times, children's marriage has paid attention to the words of the matchmaker of their parents, and she has no right and mind to object, but she knows that Baoyu and Daiyu are close, and Daiyu is gone, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't expect the old lady to summon another Shi girl, she was secretly angry in her heart, how much this old lady hated her.

"Okay, okay, tomorrow I will take advantage of the matter of borrowing money, and I will discuss your marriage with Baoyu with your aunt!" Aunt Xue smiled with a smile.

On the second day, Mrs. Wang came to Lixiangyuan to ask about borrowing money, and Aunt Xue responded according to Xue Baochai's teaching.

When Mrs. Wang heard that there were only 50,000 taels, a look of displeasure suddenly appeared on her face.

When Aunt Xue saw this situation, she immediately remedied: "If it is another 50,000 taels, it is okay, but the business in Jingzhong will be affected!" ”

"What's this, it's only a matter of a few months, and when the concubine saves her relatives, the emperor will be happy and reward a little, and the silver will come back." Mrs. Wang hurriedly said that she was extremely concerned about her daughter's return to save her relatives, and she wanted to do it well.

"Don't know about Baochai and Baoyu?" Aunt Xue took advantage of the fact that the silver had not been lent out and talked about the marriage of Baochai and Baoyu.

"Don't worry about this, when I hand over the silver to the master, he will be pleased, and then I will mention this matter, thinking that it can be done!" Mrs. Wang hurriedly smiled and reassured.

"But I think the old lady likes Miss Lin and Miss Shi more!" Aunt Xue is not as confident as Mrs. Wang, although Jia Zheng can call the shots, but if the old lady uses filial piety to suppress Jia Zheng, it is not certain what the result will be.

"Hehe, sister, don't worry, Baoyu's marriage will be nodded by me as a mother after all, how long can the old lady live, if the old lady has to stop it, I will go into the palace to find the concubine Niangniang, and let her marry Baochai and Baoyu."

Mrs. Wang assured again that she had always looked down on Daiyu and Xiangyun, and made up her mind that if she really got to that point, she would find Yuanchun to make the decision for Baoyu.

"That's a good feeling!" Aunt Xue said happily, it would be better if she could get the concubine's mother's advice.

So she stopped holding it and happily handed over the silver ticket to Mrs. Wang, but she also took precautions and asked Mrs. Wang to write an IOU.

Mrs. Wang was quite dissatisfied with this, but for the sake of 100,000 taels of silver, she endured it, but she still had a problem in her heart.
