Chapter 144: Childhood Sweethearts Sue Heartfelt
Ping'er's face turned pale with fright, and she thought what was wrong with him.
Fortunately, Baoyu turned his face and got up again, muttering in despair: "What a meritorious noble prince's family, but in his bones he was a nest of robbers!" ”
Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him pat off the dirt on his body, and said with half complaining and half admonishing: "You can also say this?" If you still have a trace of kindness, don't talk nonsense when you get out of this door, just don't hear about it! ”
"Sister, don't worry."
Jia Baoyu reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Even if I die, I will never involve you." ”
Saying that, the walking dead walked out of Wang Xifeng's yard, and he didn't know where to go, so he just wandered around in the inner house.
"How did you get this, why do you seem to have lost your soul?"
Suddenly, a laughing voice came into his ears, Jia Baoyu raised his eyes, and saw a master and a servant flashing in front of him, but who else could it be if it wasn't Lin Daiyu and Zijuan?
At first sight, seeing Lin Daiyu in person, Jia Baoyu was ashamed and aggrieved, and when she lowered her head slightly, a few drops of 'golden beans' fell to the ground.
"Yikes!"
At this time, Daiyu was really taken aback by him, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked softly: "Are you guilty of some kind of dementia, or are you annoyed with that girl again?" Wipe away those tears, or others will see them and think I've provoked them. ”
The more relieved she was here, the more Jia Baoyu cried harder.
In the end, Lin Daiyu couldn't get sick either, and paused and said, "What are you doing this for, tell me about it!" This silent one is killing people! ”
As he spoke, the circles under his eyes turned a little red.
Seeing that she was about to cry with her, Jia Baoyu wiped it with her sleeve indiscriminately, and pulled Daiyu to the back of the rockery without saying anything, and then pushed Zijuan aside.
Then he told Daiyu about the embezzlement of 600,000 taels of silver from the Lin family in order to repair the courtyard, and only hid the rhetoric of 'one man and two families'.
After speaking, he gritted his teeth and swore an oath, claiming that he would fight to the death and return the silver to Daiyu!
Lin Daiyu listened to it in a daze, and saw him swearing to seek death and life, her two thin eyebrows frowned slightly, and said: "You didn't spend this money, which one wants you to pay back?" Besides, if you can't carry it in your hands or on your shoulders, I'm afraid it won't be worth a few dollars even if you sell it. ”
Who knew that the word 'sell' was right in Baoyu's heart!
So he looked at Daiyu stupidly, and tears poured down again.
Daiyu knew that there was still a drama of 'one man selling two', but she thought that he was anxious and sad for herself, and she was very comforted in her heart, so she sighed: "Actually, I don't need to say it, I already know about the silver." ”
"You...... You know this?! ”
Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and even stopped her tears.
Lin Daiyu sighed again and muttered: "When I went south last year, there were still a lot of good things in Yangzhou, which were not worse than the furnishings in this house, but when I returned to Beijing, there were only two cars of worthless sundries left......"
"Then why don't you say it?! The ancestor loves you the most, for sure...... Definitely......"
Halfway through the words, Jia Baoyu suddenly remembered that the matter of using this money to repair the courtyard was also approved by Jia's mother, and she couldn't talk about it for a while.
Lin Daiyu smiled bitterly: "That's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, how many pairs of white eyes are red, the ancestor just loves me again, can he still offend this big family?" ”
Seeing Lin Daiyu's face full of sadness, the little one seemed to be used to seeing the hot and cold world, Jia Baoyu became more and more depressed and irritable in her heart, but she didn't know how to vent it.
In the middle of the sound, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself in the face!
Syllable~
Just this once, half of my cheeks swelled!
Jia Baoyu didn't seem to feel pain, and slapped his baby face again.
"What are you doing here?!"
Daiyu hurriedly grabbed his arm and said hurriedly: "It's not your fault!" ”
"Who said it wasn't my fault?!"
Jia Baoyu snorted and cried: "If I am a capable person, how dare they settle the matter without asking us?!" If I were a capable person, I would never let them bully you like this, but there is no way to do it! ”
Seeing him blaming himself like this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but feel her true feelings, holding Baoyu's hand, and said: "This matter was originally a big stone stuffed in my chest, but seeing you facing me like this today has made my heart open up a lot, and it doesn't matter what silver is not silver." ”
Then he smiled again: "If these 600,000 taels of silver can be spared the crime of bullying the king in this mansion, in my opinion, it is worth it!" ”
Speaking of the whole house, there is clearly only one treasure jade in his eyes!
"Sister Lin......"
Jia Baoyu was so moved that she couldn't wait to marry her immediately, but when she thought of the words of 'one man and two families', her heart was like a knife. ‘
"That's right."
Lin Daiyu was half genuinely curious, half to change the topic and asked, "Where did you hear this?" ”
Baoyu said: "I...... I promised that I would never betray her. ”
"If you don't say it, I can guess the same!"
Lin Daiyu twisted her index finger, gently tapped it on her lips, and suddenly blurted out: "It's the second brother of the Sun family, is it right?!" ”
"Second Brother Sun?"
Jia Baoyu was stunned and said, "He...... He also knows this? ”
Seeing his expression, Lin Daiyu knew that she had guessed wrong, but she still nodded and said, "At the beginning, he came back from Yangzhou with Second Brother Lian, how could these cats hide it from him?" It was precisely because I knew that my father's silver had been emptied, that on my birthday, Sister Rong sent a bunch of gold leaves. ”
Saying that, she couldn't help but glared at Baoyu, and said indignantly: "At that time, you still said that Sister Rong was a village custom, and she would only send some useless things!" ”
Jia Baoyu scratched his head in embarrassment, and suddenly said, "I understand!" Second Brother Sun asked me to check the accounts, in fact, he wanted me to find out about this matter myself! ”
Lin Daiyuhu said suspiciously: "The second brother of the Sun family asked you to check the accounts?" What's going on here? ”
Jia Baoyu hurriedly told the cause and effect in one go.
Daiyu listened to the deep groan, but shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, and besides, he may not know that the silver has been misappropriated - I see, this seems to be aimed at others." ”
"For others? What else? ”
"Naturally, it's one of those good minions in your family who eat people and don't spit out bones."
Lin Daiyu's mouth curled, and she said disdainfully: "I heard Sister Rong say that when the Sun brothers were fighting the autumn breeze in Rongguo Mansion, they suffered a lot of grievances from your slaves!" ”
"Is that so?"
Jia Baoyu's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous: "The Sun family is a world friend in our house, and the people have such courage?" ”
"World friends?"
Lin Daiyu snorted, and had the intention of taking herself as an example, but she was afraid that Baoyu would make a fuss, so she hesitated a little and said: "Don't say it's a world friend, do you remember Jiao Da in Dongfu?" ”
"Isn't that old man who likes to curse when he drinks too much?"
"Old man?"
Lin Daiyu glared at him and said, "If he hadn't given up his life and carried Ning Guogong back from the battlefield, I'm afraid there would be no Ning Guofu at all!" ”
"I heard that when he fled back, there was no food to eat, and he went hungry to steal something for his master to eat; There was no water to drink, so he drank horse urine himself and gave half a bowl of water to his master! ”
"When Lao Ning Guogong was alive, he was a little stronger than his own son - but what now? Once he lost his support, even the second-class servants in the house dared to abuse him! ”
"When the brothers of the Sun family are down, in the eyes of these minions of your family, I am afraid that they are far less than that Jiao Da!"
When Lin Daiyu said this, she paused for a moment, and then got back to the topic: "I guess, the second brother of the Sun family probably got some news, knowing that these good servants of your family moved their hands and feet when they were repairing the garden, but it was inconvenient to break it, so they coaxed you, a fool, to stab the hornet's nest." ”
"This is not a joke, in my opinion, you are still pretending, don't take it seriously......"
"No!"
She still had to be persuaded, but Jia Baoyu was already furious, gritted her teeth, and swore to the sky: "I will definitely investigate this matter to the end!" No matter if that slave is greedy for money, I want him to spit out a lot of money! ”
The money that 'sold himself' was coveted by the minions, and it was no wonder that he was so angry.
