Chapter 266: Meaning Mianmian's Inheritance Falls to Whom's Family

"You have a good intention, but I live here as a guest, where can I care about this? Although it is just a daily diet, but what others eat, I can't? It's too delicate!" Daiyu said.

"Besides, the food in the house has always been fine, and it has not treated me badly, if I mention these again, the old lady, Mrs., and Sister Feng will not say anything, then there is nothing to do and you have to find some gossip to say, how to make it?" Daiyu paused, but shook her head and sighed!

Long Xi (Zixi) was stunned when she heard this, and said: "The girl is a guest house, the color is simpler, and it is also a serious truth." If it is a side arrangement, clothes and jewelry, etc., we have not disobeyed it. But this diet can't be like this. You are already weak, if you delay this food any longer, where can you stand it! I think our wife is in the sky, and she is also watching. What's more, the master is the only one with you, and he has always loved Ruzhen, but when he sees you again, he will be even weaker. Doesn't it break his heart?"

Daiyu said with tears in her eyes: "Speaking of my father, I dreamed of his old man last night, and I miss him so much!"

Long Xi (Zixi) thought: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I have to say the important things together!

She looked at a room full of maids and women, and it was inconvenient to speak, so she excused herself that the osmanthus flowers in the garden were blooming well, and asked Daiyu to take her to the garden to enjoy the flowers.

The master and servant walked to the osmanthus tree in the northwest corner of the garden, and Daiyu smiled: "You little hoof, what the hell do you have to say, hurry up, right?

Long Xi (Zixi) said with a smile: "Girl, you should also plan for your future, staying at a relative's house for a long time is not a long-term method after all! Isn't the girl homesick? Is it possible to stay here for the rest of your life?"

"I'm a girl, what can I do, what kind of future can I talk about?" said Daiyu.

"Girl, I said a big rebellious word, the master will return to old age for a hundred years and drive the crane west. When the time comes, how will the girl deal with herself, and what will happen to the property left behind by the master?" asked Long Xi (Zixi).

In fact, Long Xi has been thinking about this question for a long time.

In the book "Dream of Red Mansions", the question of Lin Daiyu's legacy has always been a mystery.

Some people say that after Lin Ruhai died, he didn't leave much money at all.

But according to the information revealed in the book, Long Xi believes that there must be an inheritance, and there is a lot of it.

First of all, Lin Ruhai was appointed as an official to patrol the salt imperial history, and the salt management of the Ming and Qing dynasties was almost the current monopoly industry, which was recognized as a fat difference, three years of Qing prefect, and 100,000 snowflakes of silver, not to mention an official like the Lin family.

In addition, the Lin family is also a marquis for four generations, and when it comes to Lin Ruhai's generation, although there is no marquis, he is from Kejia and is a tanhua.

The book said that the Lin family "Although it is a family of Shilu, it is a family of scholars." "In this regard, the Lin family is much stronger than the Jia family!

Jia Jing from Jia Jianing's Mansion is considered a jinshi, but he went to become a Taoist.

Jia Zheng, the head of Rongguo Mansion, did not win the imperial examination, but was a hereditary official, and the next generation, at most, was the first dozens of people in the later examination. Not to mention Jia Yu and Jia Zhen!

The Hou Rank plus Kejia plus the salt administration, coupled with the Lin family's several generations of single inheritance, the property of several generations was finally remitted to Lin Ruhai, how could the Lin family have no money?

Jia Min is Jia's mother's most beloved daughter, and when she married her, it was the heyday of the Jia family.

In the seventy-fourth episode, when Wang Xifeng suggested cutting personnel and reducing expenses, Mrs. Wang sighed: "What you said is not true, but from the perspective of the public, your sisters are also very pitiful. ”

With such golden branches and jade leaves, how can the Lin family have no money and no status, how can the Jia family be willing to marry?

Just look at the marriage of the four major families, it is a great one!

More than ten years ago, the Jia family was much more glorious and prominent than later, and Jia Min, as the most precious daughter of Jia Mansion, was definitely married to the right Zhong Ming Ding Shi family.

If you marry a girl, there will definitely be a dowry, you see when Wang Xifeng scolded Jia Lian, she said how much her mother's family brought to dowry.

The Jia family married Jia Min to Lin Ruhai, so the dowry must be indispensable, and the money was not also brought to the Lin family?

The conclusion is: Lin Ruhai has a rich family property and left a huge inheritance to Daiyu.

Some people also say that Lin Daiyu, as a daughter, had no inheritance rights in that feudal era.

But Longxi has also checked the relevant laws before.

At that time, daughters did not have the same inheritance rights as sons. However, since the Tang Dynasty, there have been regulations stipulating that in the "desperate" family, the maiden can share half of the property as her dowry.

A "dead house" is a family without a son, and a "maid" is a daughter who has not yet married.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the method of inheriting the property of the extinct household was: there were two ways to establish the heir of the extinct household. Where "the husband dies and the wife is there", the successor is called "the successor". Where "both husband and wife die", the successor to their eldest relatives is called "life succession". Both the stepchild and the daughter of the deceased family have the right to inherit, the maiden has the right to inherit 3/4 of the property, and the stepson has the right to inherit 1/4 of the property. Only the married daughter (巳married 女), the married woman has the right to inherit 1/3 of the property, the stepson enjoys 1/3, and the other 1/3 is owned by the government. According to this statement, after Lin Daiyu's father Lin Ruhai "donated Yangzhou City", Lin Ruhai belonged to the extinct household, she did not marry, and belonged to the desperated housemaiden.

Although Lin Ruhai has several concubines, he does not have a formal wife, so his stepson cannot be "established", and can only be "succeeded by the close relatives of the Lin clan".

Because although Lin Daiyu is a daughter, she wants to marry outside, and the four o'clock sacrifices of the ancestors and ancestral halls are still carried out by the son, so a stepson must be selected.

The inheritance inherited by the "living daughter" Lin Daiyu should be divided into three-quarters of the total property in addition to Lin Ruhai's funeral expenses in accordance with the previous provisions, and one-quarter of the inheritance by stepsons. Since the Lin family has concluded that Lin Ruhai is dead, Lin Daiyu can also inherit three-quarters of the inheritance!

So, where did such a large fortune go?

Yes, where did it go, Cao Xueqin didn't mention a word, it felt as if Lin Daiyu had been sending people under the fence, pitiful, and even eating some bird's nest every day had to rely on Baochai's supply.

Where is the Lin family's huge inheritance?

Long Xi felt that it was taken by the Jia family, and Jia Lian was also secretly greedy for a part, of course, the big head was kept by Jia's mother.

Because Lin Ruhai is Lin Daiyu's daughter, Jia Min is dead, he should have thought of Lin Daiyu's fate a long time ago.

In the book, Bao Dai love, although there is the fate of Shenying Fairy and Jiangzhu Grass in the previous life, but the matter of Shenying Fairy and Jiangzhu Cao, Jia's mother must not know, remove this, according to what is written in the book, should the Jia family think that Xue Baochai is more right with Jia Baoyu, no matter whether the "Golden Jade Good Relationship" is true or not, after all, these two people just have it, after all, the Jia family is extremely superstitious about this jade, and the Xue family is also one of the four major families.

However, in fact, Jia's mother, the supreme authority of Jiafu, seems to be in favor of Bao Dai and the two in private, so to speak, when Lin Daiyu first went to Jiafu, maybe Lin Ruhai and Jia's mother had set something in private, otherwise according to a feudal clan family like Jiafu, it seems that Bao Dai's almost public love affair would not be able to acquiesce to it.

When Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, Jia's mother designated Jia Lian to send her even, and it was the time when the Ning Guofu next to her was holding a funeral for Qin Keqing, that is, when Wang Xifeng made the prestige to assist Ning Guofu. How busy is this time, Mother Jia sent Jia Lian, the most powerful of the next generation of the Jia family, to follow the whole process, not only to care about this nephew, but also to send him to deal with the Lin family's inheritance?

Jia's mother also deliberately explained to Jia Lian and brought Lin Daiyu "back". Lin Daiyu brought it back, so the inheritance that Lin Daiyu should inherit will naturally be brought back.

Not long after Daiyu went back, Lin Ruhai died, and Jia Lian specially sent his follower Zhao'er to return to Jiafu all the way: "The second master sent the little one to report a letter to ask for peace, ask the old lady to show him, and take a look at grandma's house, and ask him to bring a few big woolen clothes. ”

When she set off that day, Jia's mother arranged "a soil ritual entanglement, don't worry about it, naturally it should be appropriate" at this time, how could she run back for a few clothes, is there Jia Lian asking Jia's mother how to deal with the inheritance?

After that, Sister Feng smiled at Baoyu and said, "Your sister Lin has been living in our house for a long time!" What does this mean?

Even if Mother Jia felt sorry for Lin Daiyu without her father and mother, and had the heart to take her in, but the girl always had to get married, how could she be a long-term resident, did Sister Feng also know Mother Jia's arrangements in advance before saying so?。。 Lin Daiyu finished her father's funeral, and when she came back, Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu for the first time and seemed to say, "My sister is becoming more and more peugeot."

Just run to the funeral should have a sad face, how can it be Peugeot?

Did Cao Xueqin write here also secretly revealed that Lin Daiyu also knew Jia's mother's arrangement, and Jia's mother took care of the property, and she would have a good relationship with Baoyu when she came back, so she was in good spirits and seemed more standard?

In the seventy-second round, Xia Taifu sent a small internal eunuch to extort money, and Wang Xifeng had no choice but to "take out my two gold collars and bet four hundred taels of silver for the time being." , Jia Lian said, "It would be good to make another three or two million fortunes this time."

Jia Lian said "again" here, indicating that he had already made a fortune of three or two million before, and the opportunity to make a fortune could only be when he took Lin Daiyu back to the Lin family to deal with the inheritance.

How much property does the Lin family have, and they are secretly greedy for three or two million, and how much does it have to be handed over to Jia's mother?
