Chapter 38: Where Did the Silver Fall? (2)
Lin Daiyu saw that Mrs. Wang was still ready to pretend to be stupid, and didn't want to say anything, so she smiled and said: "Second brother, it's better to make things clear, I don't understand where the one million taels of silver fell?" The 50,000 taels of silver are not needed, since my father said before his death, it was for my expenses in your house, how can I get it back? I have been in your house all these years, and I have indeed caused you a lot of trouble. ”
"Lin girl, what are these words?" Mother Jia suddenly stood up and said, "You are my granddaughter, and your mother is my daughter-in-law, is it still an outsider?" Lian'er, you tell me clearly, where did you go to Aunt Lin's one million taels of silver? ”
Jia Lian was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the old lady and said: "Old lady, the silver is a silver ticket issued by Hongtong Money, I came back from Yangzhou, so I gave it directly to my wife, and I begged the old lady to ask my wife to know." ”
"For your wife?" Jia Mu asked with a calm face.
Mrs. Xing hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile on her face: "The old lady is really joking, let alone the silver ticket, I haven't even seen a copper plate." ”
"You sit down first, I haven't asked you yet." Jia Mu said coldly, "Lian'er, this is not the time to be confused, you tell me clearly, what is going on with this silver?" Otherwise, don't blame me, this silver will fall on your husband and wife, you and Feng Yatou sold their clothes and returned to others, if it is not enough, even your daughter's house will be sold - I think that your little furniture, plus those ghosts that Feng Yatou has made over the years, I am afraid that it will not add up to a fraction. ”
Sister Feng'er's face changed suddenly, and she was busy kneeling down with Jia Lian and said, "Ask the old lady to be kind, we really didn't spend a cent of this silver, and when the silver came back, we gave it to the second wife." As she spoke, she was busy kowtowing to Mrs. Wang and said, "Madam, can you say a word...... We didn't spend a penny of this money......
"What do you say?" Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang and asked.
Mrs. Wang stood up, frowned, and said, "The old lady should know where the money went, why bother asking her daughter-in-law again?" ”
"I know?" Jia Mu suddenly raised her voice and sneered, "How do I know about your unsightly things? ”
Mrs. Wang was also anxious, stood up and replied: "Old lady, think about it, when Aunt Lin was gone, it happened that our concubine Niangniang wanted to save her relatives, and there was no money in this family...... Where did all the money come from? Over the years, our family's income is not as good as a year, but the family's expenses are getting bigger and bigger year by year, and we don't know how much money to lose every year......
Jia Mu didn't wait for her to finish speaking, nodded and asked, "Who was in charge of building the garden in the first place?" As she spoke, she looked at Mrs. Xing.
Mrs. Xing hurriedly replied: "It's the eldest master!" ”
Jia Mu nodded and said: "Since this matter is not clear inside, it is easy, wait for the second master to come back, the eldest master, the second master, you wives, everyone will make it clear to your face, you have to give someone an explanation, if it is really the cost of repairing the garden, then it is a big deal that we will sell the garden and return it to others." ”
Lin Daiyu frowned and repaired the garden...... Is it really a garden?
Mother Jia said to Daiyu again: "Girl Lin, you can wait for a few days for the time being, and when your second uncle comes back, I will ask clearly." ”
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "The old lady can rest assured, now the granddaughter is not in a hurry to ask for silver, it's just that the relics of the late father, I have to ask, besides, the old lady here is no better than other places, the granddaughter has taken care of it here over the years, and the silver is nothing here." ”
Baochai suddenly sneered: "Isn't my sister waiting for the silver to be used as a dowry?" ”
Jia Mu's face sank, and she glanced at Baochai coldly, this ...... Bao girl, why are you so blind now? Originally, it looked fine.
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "The second sister-in-law laughed at this. My aunt said just now, now that the house is difficult, can I still force it? Besides, isn't my uncle an outsider? Am I still forcing my aunt to sell her son and daughter to pay me back? If that's the case, why don't you send Brother Baoyu to me for a few years? ”
As soon as Lin Daiyu said this, not only Sister Feng and Li Kun laughed, but even Tanchun and Yingchun couldn't help but laugh, and Baoyu even laughed so much that she couldn't even close her mouth: "I'm willing, but I don't know what my sister will do?" ”
Lin Daiyu deliberately made a serious appearance and said: "Naturally, you are a little servant, didn't you say it since you were a child - are you afraid that the girls will not serve their hearts?" With you, I also save my anger. ”
"That's right!" Baoyu said with a smile, he didn't worry about any silver problems, and now that there is no silver in the house, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have silver in his hands.
"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave." Lin Daiyu was busy laughing.
"Let's eat!" Jia Mu was busy leaving the road.
"I'll talk to the old lady in a few days, there's something else going on today!" Daiyu said with a smile, Zhao Yu said that she was going to come to see her at night, although she didn't take him, His Majesty the Emperor, very seriously, but she had to give some face.
"I'll go with my sister!" Yingchun hurriedly said.
"It's good!" Jia Mu nodded and ordered Baoyu to send it out.
Yingchun held Daiyu's hand, the two said goodbye to everyone, and walked out, in front of the second door, there was already a small servant waiting for a cuiyu canopy car, the two got into the car, and Baoyu said a few words through the curtain, Baoyu approached Lin Daiyu's side, and chuckled: "I'll go over to see my sister tomorrow." ”
Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, nodding in agreement. Here the little maid carried her sister out, went outside, put on the frame, turned around the back of the Rongguo Mansion, and arrived at a mansion.
When Yingchun looked out through the window screen, he saw that the main gate said "Qingyao Courtyard", but the door was different from Rong and Ning, all of them were guards with knives dressed in black.
Yingchun looked at the clothes of the four little guys that were wrong, it didn't seem to be the usual clothes of ordinary people, frowned and asked, "Sister, what are you ...... Family ......"
Lin Daiyu already understood in her heart that these four little guys were probably all internal supervisors, people sent by Zhao Yu.
