Chapter 37: Where Did the Silver Fall? (1)
And Mrs. Wang's words are ruthless enough, your Lin family's family assets definitely don't have so much money, if you Lin Daiyu wants to track down the whereabouts of this silver and use the power of the government, then she doesn't care about tracing the origin of this silver, so that Lin Daiyu's father will have to bear the charge of corruption after his death.
"Madame is wrong!" Lin Daiyu naturally knew where this money came from, not only did she know, but even Zhao Yu knew it. There is someone behind her, and she is not afraid of anything, so she smiled indifferently and said, "I don't have to worry about the family assets of my Lin family, but Mrs. Lao doesn't have to worry about it, it's just that the IOU of the second brother of the chain is clearly written and clear, and there are also people who are in the middle of the guard, including the official seal of the prefect of Yangzhou at the beginning, so I want to know, when will the second brother of the chain return this silver to me?" My father's suicide note clearly states that he is going to give me a dowry! ”
Baochai suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "The original sister's dowry - so, my sister wants to get married?" I don't know who has such a blessing to marry such a fairy-like person as his sister? As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Baoyu.
But Baoyu just sat next to Jia's mother, and she couldn't see a trace of expression on her face, she was not angry, nor happy!
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is joking, if you talk about beauty, how can my sister be as plump and colorful as my sister-in-law?" ”
Baochai couldn't hear Daiyu sarcastically mocking her for being fat, and she was furious in her heart, but she smiled faintly on the surface: "My sister is really good at talking, but I am so fat, how can I compare to my sister's bone Qingqi." ”
Lin Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, this Baochai is really eloquent, she even dares to say such things as Bone Qingqi? Obviously, she only has one body.
"My little sister really only has a body of bones, I don't know what's going on, no matter how you eat it, you can't grow meat, what secret recipe does my sister-in-law have to pass on to me? With such hard work, how can it still be abundant? Lin Daiyu said with a smile, "My sister has to think about the flowers and plants in the garden, the bewitching posture of the girl next to the second brother Bao, and I have to ask about the various things that the second brother Bao goes out at home, but it is a lot of effort, well, old lady, do you say?" Lin Daiyu said as she leaned closer to Jia's mother's side.
Mother Jia hugged her and said with a smile: "Lin Yatou is very right, so I will let Bao Yatou rest these days, so as not to be tired." ”
Baochai couldn't help but be gloomy when he heard this, if there was no support from Jia's mother in Jiafu at present, it would be useless to say anything. didn't dare to say anything sarcastic again, but Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "Lin girl, you just said that IOU, I don't know if you brought it?" ”
"I naturally brought the IOU to the capital, but it is not in my hands. I just want to ask the second brother of the chain, when will the borrowed silver be repaid, if the second brother of the chain pays me back the silver, I will naturally give him the IOU, otherwise, I can't say, I can only go to the middle guard to ask for silver. Lin Daiyu smiled softly.
It's really easy to say, a million taels of silver, how can it be so easy to erase it with such a sentence?
"Feng girl!" Jia Mu frowned and said, "Can the chain be in the house?" ”
"The second brother of the chain is still where his wife is just now, he will not leave this time, how is the specific, please ask the second brother of the chain to come and ask." Baoyu, who had been sitting without speaking, said busily, and without waiting for Mrs. Wang to say anything, she greeted the little girl and said, "You go outside and let the little maid find the second master of the chain." ”
The girl agreed, and Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "This is not appropriate, right?" Now that the girls are doing it, how do you let the chain in? ”
"The three girls are all his own sisters, has he never seen Lin Yatou and Bao Yatou, what is there to avoid?" Jia Mu hid the anger in her heart and said coldly.
Mrs. Wang didn't dare to say anything, so she changed the topic and asked, "Miss Lin, you just said that this silver is the dowry left to you by Old Aunt Lin, but I don't know such a huge amount of silver taels, why did Old Aunt Lin agree to lend it to Lian'er in the first place?" ”
"Mrs. is laughing!" Lin Daiyu smiled lightly, "My wife doesn't know, how can I know?" Besides, when I was here, the second brother of the chain was not an outsider, and my father agreed to borrow him money for emergencies, which naturally made sense. ”
Seeing Mrs. Wang's unswerving face, Tanchun hurriedly said: "Sister Lin, please forgive me for being presumptuous, Old Aunt Lin's last words said that this silver was your dowry, I don't know - did Aunt Lin also arrange a lifelong event for you?" ”
This question, not only Baochai and Mrs. Wang want to know, but even Jia Mu and Baoyu are very concerned, but they don't want to ask, and now they are so rashly asked by Tanchun, they all look at Lin Daiyu attentively, waiting for her to answer.
"My father is such a daughter as me, you also knew it before, and naturally I cherish it, but the number of years is determined by heaven, and my daughter is such a lifelong event, and my father naturally arranged it a long time ago." Lin Daiyu smiled with crooked eyebrows, if you want to know, I'll let you know.
Baochai hurriedly smiled and asked, "I don't know who is so lucky?" ”
"Sister-in-law is too worried about her sister, right?" Lin Daiyu raised her head and asked.
Baochai frowned and said busily: "Sister don't have to worry too much, it's just a curiosity to ask, it's just that Aunt Lin has such a big arm to marry a daughter, I'm afraid that even if the royal princess marries, she doesn't have so many dowries." ”
"Because I'm not a royal princess." Lin Daiyu competed against each other.
While she was talking, the little girl outside came in and replied: "Second Master Chain is here!" ”
Mrs. Wang frowned, why is this Jia Lian getting more and more confused, won't he find an excuse to avoid it? But no matter what, Jia Lian had already come in, greeted Jia's mother, and then said hello to the two ladies of the criminal and Wang families, and the sisters said hello.
"Lian'er, you came just in time, your sister will meet Jiangnan this time, saying that when Aunt Lin was dying, you borrowed a million taels of silver from him? The existing IOU again, the guarantor is complete, you can not deny it. Jia Mu asked with a calm face.
Jia Lian was stunned, it turned out that he was in a hurry to come over for this matter? Immediately knelt down at Mother Jia and said, "The old lady asked yes, there is indeed such a thing. ”
For a moment, everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on Jia Lian's body.
"What are you doing with such a huge amount of IOU?" Jia Mu asked again.
"Back to the old lady, when Miss Lin came to our house, in addition to the IOU of one million taels of silver, there were also 50,000 taels of silver, which was what Aunt Lin said, give the girl pocket flowers in our house, I thought that Miss Lin is the granddaughter of the old lady's in-law, the niece of the old lady, how could she be wronged by her, and our family will not be a lonely and weak woman. Therefore, in order to be afraid of the inconvenience of carrying the journey, I deposited the 50,000 taels of silver in the bank, and handed the silver ticket back to my wife. As for the IOU for one million taels of silver, I beg the old lady to ask her wife, I am just a hand. Jia Lian said busily.
As he spoke, he stood up again, waved at Lin Daiyu, and said: "Miss Lin, your 50,000 taels of silver, wait a minute, I will beg my wife to give you the silver ticket, you can go to Hongtong Money Village to withdraw cash at any time, but--the million taels of silver, I really can't say anything, I think it is clear in Aunt Lin's suicide note, the girl should know what it is for." ”
