The next day, Lin Rushui and others returned the money owed to Lin Ruhai.

Daiyu and Master Li came forward and announced to them Lin Ruhai's decision not to pursue them.

A few people said a few words of thanks and left.

When it was almost noon, Wang San came over and said that Daiyu had invited Jia Rui to Lin Ruhai's bedroom.

When Jia Rui arrived, Aunt Fang, Master Li, and Mr. Luo were already here.

There were two boxes on the floor, the lids had not been opened, and it was not known what was inside.

After a while, Jia Lian also came.

Master Li coughed.

"The people have arrived, according to the meaning of the lord, at this moment, arrange the affairs of the lord's property. It's up to the old man to announce it. If anyone has any objections, they can verify with the master later. ”

Jia Rui understood that it was probably his words yesterday that played a role, and Lin Ruhai made the final arrangements for his posthumous affairs.

"All the property of the lord is worth about 1,420,000 taels of silver, plus the gold, silver, and jewelry left by his wife. An old mansion in Suzhou is worth about 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver. And in the account room, there were about seven thousand taels of silver. ”

According to the owner's meaning, he left Aunt Fang 100,000 taels of silver, and Aunt Fang can return to her parents' house in the future, or she can continue to live in the house in Suzhou. Whether to stay or marry, it is all up to Aunt Fang to decide. ”

Aunt Fang has no heirs, and giving her 100,000 taels of silver is also kind.

As for whether Aunt Fang will remarry in the future, in fact, Lin Ruhai can't restrain her, and now she can make a high profile, but she can leave some good thoughts

"Aunt Fang, do you have any objections?"

Aunt Fang was already in tears and hurriedly shook her head.

"I don't have any objections, but I still hope that the master can get better."

"If the master can be cured, it is naturally the best, and this is also to prevent accidents. Since you don't have any objections, let's talk about Miss Lin. ”

"Miss Lin will come to the Rongguo Mansion and be under the guardianship of his grandmother, Shi Taijun. took out 1.3 million taels of silver and handed it over to Shi Taijun for safekeeping, as Miss Lin's food and clothing in Rongguo Mansion and her future dowry. This money was temporarily collected by Second Master Lian and Uncle Rui, brought back to Rongguo Mansion, and handed over to Shi Taijun. ”

"The jewelry left by Mrs. Lin belongs to Miss Lin and is kept by Miss Lin herself."

"The house in Suzhou is owned by Miss Lin. If Aunt Fang doesn't remarry someone else, she can live there. ”

"The remaining twenty thousand taels of silver, plus the silver of the bookkeeper, shall be set aside for the present daily expenses, and for the future affairs of the lord, and for the expenses of the dismissal of his subordinates. If there is any surplus, it will belong to Miss Lin. ”

"The current official residence belongs to the imperial court, and it will be vacated in the future, and some of the antique calligraphy, paintings, utensils and other items in it belong to Miss Lin."

"Because Uncle Rui wants to conduct a scientific examination, the books left by the master will be given to Uncle Rui, and I hope Uncle Rui will accept them."

"This ...... seems to be a bit precious, and I deserve it."

Nowadays books are more expensive. Lin Ruhai has a lot of books.

Among them, there are some commentaries on the Four Books and Five Classics, which are even more precious and rare to see in the market.

These annotations and other books, similar to later teaching materials, are very helpful for scientific research.

"Uncle Rui doesn't have to refuse, these books are useless to others, if they can help you with scientific research, you will not disappoint the master."

"Brother Rui, just stay, I don't read those books."

Daiyu persuaded.

"Yes, Brother Rui, you don't have to excuse yourself, my aunt's book is for you, it's for the right person. If you give it to me, it's a waste. ”

Hearing that he could bring back 1.3 million taels of silver, Jia Lian was also relieved.

Although it did not reach his ideal number, it was not far from his original goal. You can also go back and make a difference.

It's a pity that I don't get any benefit.

But as soon as they thought that the ugly things they had done here were not exposed, Jia Rui and Daiyu would no longer mention it, and they could save their face and reputation, so they had to retreat to the next best thing and no longer have extravagant hopes.

"Since that's the case, I'll take it, thank you, aunt."

Jia Rui is no longer hypocritical, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to accept some books.

"That's probably the case, Uncle Rui, Second Master Lian, do you two have any objections?"

"No, no objections."

Jia Lian said busily.

"I have no objection either."

"In that case, please ask the two masters to sign the receipts and documents."

Mr. Luo took out a receipt of 1.3 million taels of silver, as well as a document entrusting Shi Taijun to keep the silver for Daiyu.

Mr. Luo ordered 1.3 million taels of silver tickets, all of which were 10,000 taels each. Jia Lian and Jia Rui counted them separately, and then signed and drew the receipt, and then Master Li and Mr. Luo, as witnesses, also signed and drew the post, and Mr. Luo put the receipt away.

With this receipt, it proves that the ownership of this 1.3 million taels of silver actually belongs to Daiyu, but it is kept by the ancestor on his behalf.

Together with the document entrusted to the custody, a complete chain of evidence is formed, proving that the ownership of the money belongs to Daiyu.

If there is a lawsuit in the future, this is the most powerful evidence.

Although this is a normal procedure, Daiyu may not be able to think of it. Jia Rui estimated that it should be the idea of Master Li and Mr. Luo.

The power of attorney, with Lin Ruhai's handprint and seal, was signed by Master Li, with Mr. Luo as a witness.

This does not need to be signed by Jia Lian and Jia Rui, and it will be taken back to the ancestor in the future.

"Let's put the bills away."

Jia Lian reached out to get the silver ticket, but suddenly stopped again.

"Let's put it away Brother Rui."

"I still have to stay here for scientific research, and I can only go back in September, it is really inconvenient to carry so much money with me for such a long time, so it is better for Second Brother Lian to keep it." Anyway, you went back earlier than me. ”

"Second Brother Lian, you just take it and go back and give it to the ancestor."

Daiyu said.

"Yes, it's appropriate for Second Master Lian to keep it."

Seeing that Master Li and Mr. Luo also said the same, Jia Lian put it away.

"If you have any objections, raise them now, and if there are no objections, arrange them as such."

"No objection, so be it."

Jia Rui, Jia Lian, and Aunt Fang expressed their positions one after another.

Master Li arrived at the bedside and approached Lin Ruhai.

"Lord, they have no objections, are you satisfied? If you're satisfied, blink three times. ”

Lin Ruhai blinked his eyes three times, and this tricky matter was settled.

"In that case, let's not disturb the master, let's go and rest."

Soon after Jia Rui returned to the room, Daiyu came over, took out a paper bag, and put it on the table.

"Brother Rui, it's useless for me to keep this, so I'll give it to you."

"Miss Lin, what is this?"

"Father's remaining salt has already been told to his father, and he agrees to give it to you. And ......, in short, thank you, Brother Rui. I'm leaving, Brother Rui has a good rest. ”

Without waiting for Jia Rui to say anything, Daiyu left.

Jia Rui opened the paper bag and saw that there was a salt guide of 100,000 catties of salt inside.

Salt is a monopoly product, and salt is the sales permit and transportation permit of salt. Salt without salt is private salt.

Although salt is not money, it is also a scarce product, and 100,000 catties of salt can be sold for at least a few hundred taels of silver.
