The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 357 Concubine Refusing the Lin Family's Millions of Property

"...Why don't Auntie go back and ask, would Sister Baoqin come to my Yunnan Palace?"

in the living room,
"Ask her to come to Yunnan Palace?"

Aunt Xue couldn't help but exclaimed, looking into Lin Daiyu's eyes, quite puzzled.

No wonder Aunt Xue was puzzled.

In this world, there is no shortage of regular wives who take the initiative to take concubines for the family, but more or less, there are reasons of one kind or another that make them have to do so.

It is really rare for someone like Lin Daiyu to take the initiative to take concubines for Jia Jing in a harmonious family.

In addition to doubts.

Aunt Xue turned her head to look at Xue Baochai, who was sitting beside the old god.

There was no look of surprise on his face.

Aunt Xue reacted.

Well, it looks like the two of them have already passed the gas? !
Over there, Lin Daiyu sensed Aunt Xue's doubts, so she didn't rush to explain. Instead, she asked Xueyan, who was waiting on the side, to add some hot tea to Aunt Xue's teacup.

After a while.

Lin Daiyu said to Aunt Xue with a slight smile: "Brother Jing is now the king of the county, and his family business is not small, but there are only two of us in this backyard, which is less popular. Maybe it will arrange us, say we occupy the backyard."

Finally, Lin Daiyu made a final summary.

"The matter of taking a concubine for Brother Jing must be put on the agenda as soon as possible!"

of course,

This is the apparent reason.

There is another reason, that is, when Lin Daiyu was wandering with Yuan Chun in the imperial garden today, Yuan Chun was there to inquire about the backyard of the palace.

But for no reason, why did Yuan Chun inquire about the situation in his cousin's backyard?
Such an abnormal situation immediately aroused Lin Daiyu's vigilance.

Although Jia Jing has always been protecting her, Lin Daiyu is not a novice who doesn't know anything.

It is self-evident what kind of plan the palace has.

In addition, Lin Daiyu had already discussed with Xue Baochai about taking a concubine for Jia Jing before, so she simply put it on the agenda this time, and had to settle the matter before the action in the palace.

After all, no matter how you say it, it is better to take the initiative to take a concubine than to be given a concubine by the palace for this reason.

In this wave, Daiyu and Baochai successfully predicted the actions in the palace.

Seeing that both Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai looked serious, and they didn't seem to be fake at all, Aunt Xue finally believed that Daiyu Baochai and the others really planned to take concubines for Jia Jing.

But Aunt Xue still had some concerns in her heart.

"Have you ever gotten along with Brother Jing about taking a concubine for Brother Jing?"

"..."

The two women were silent.

Aunt Xue suddenly understood.

Hastily said: "After all, this is a concubine for Brother Jing, you should at least inform Brother Jing, if Brother Jing is really annoyed by this matter, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

What Aunt Xue said makes sense.

Lin Daiyu naturally knew this truth, so she nodded and said, "I will tell Brother Jing about this tonight."

I thought about it.

Lin Daiyu added a few more words, "It's a bit hasty to talk about this matter, but I only made this decision after I came back from the palace. There are still some reasons in it, so I can't tell my aunt in detail."

After returning from the palace, I made up my mind...

Aunt Xue was taken aback.

But even after he realized it, he said worriedly: "Then you guys are so self-assertive to give concubines to Brother Jing, will it cause dissatisfaction inside?"

"Auntie, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion in this matter."

Lin Daiyu has a confident look, which makes Aunt Xue sure.

Reassured a lot.

Then, Lin Daiyu assured Aunt Xue, "Sister Baoqin, just go and tell her that Auntie knows Brother Jing and me well. If Sister Baoqin can come over, we will definitely not treat her badly... ..."

"I'm not worried about that," Aunt Xue said with a smile, "I'm afraid that Baoqin won't agree, that girl has an arrogant temper!"

"It's okay!"

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Auntie just go ahead and say, if this matter can be done, it will be a good thing, if not, it means that she has no fate with our family; then I will lead her to introduce a few high-ranking families It's my family!"

"That's good!" Aunt Xue was full of satisfaction.

It was affirmed by Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.

Aunt Xue thought in her heart that she was going to tell Xue Baoqin about this when she was going back.

………………

The outer courtyard of the palace.

When Jia Jing came to the outer study, Lin Ruhai was sitting there sipping tea.

But I haven't seen him for a few days, but he has lost a lot of weight.

Although the expression on his face was well concealed, Jia Jing could still see the bitterness and helplessness behind the smile at a glance.

"Father-in-law, don't you have something on your mind?"

Jia Jing asked straight to the point.

Lin Ruhai didn't refute, but just smiled, "Brother Jing, you can see that I have come here this time, and I have something to tell you."

"Father-in-law, please tell me!"

"Actually speaking, it's not a glorious thing..."

Lin Ruhai sighed.

"I think my Lin family used to be a wealthy family in Gusu, a marquis family, who would have thought that it would be passed on to me, but it was an incense that was about to cut off the direct line, and now even those gangsters have run out of the branch line outside the fifth service , dare to covet the family property of my direct line..."

As he spoke, he sneered again.

"They saw that Daiyu was the only girl under my knees, so they wanted to find a male in the branch to adopt me, so that they could inherit the million-dollar family business of my direct line."

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai was furious again.

"But it's fine if they find a good one, and they can still deceive me. Who would have thought that they would find a bastard who is ignorant and dishonest. Such a thing still wants to adopt my family? I'm just a body No, it’s not that I’m confused!”

Really angry.

Jia Jing couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the words, can she still do this?

Aren't those people all fools?
Thinking about other people's family business, but still being so perfunctory, there is really no one!
"Father-in-law, don't be so angry. It's not worth getting angry for those irrelevant people."

Jia Jing persuaded Lin Ruhai.

Thinking of what Lin Ruhai said about his poor health, through the bright candlelight in the study, Jia Jing saw that Lin Ruhai's face was quite tired, and his complexion was indeed not very good.

This is really out of shape!

Seeing this, Jia Jing hurriedly got up and went to the bookshelf.

Find one and remove the books that are blocking the outside, revealing a hidden compartment behind the bookshelf that is about a square meter in size.

He reached out and took out a small porcelain bottle more than two inches high.

Pass it to Lin Ruhai.

Jia Jing laughed and said: "Father-in-law's complexion is not good, it just so happens that my son-in-law ordered some ginseng pills two days ago, and the rare precious ginseng used is just right for father-in-law to recuperate his body."

Lin Ruhai refused to accept it.

He smiled and said: "Brother Jing, it's enough if you have the heart. My own body knows it well. This is an old problem for many years. It has already left the root cause of the disease that cannot be cured. You should keep this ginseng pill for yourself." , keep it by your side for emergency or something, use it on me, it’s a waste..."

Jia Jing was taken aback.

Then he smiled and said: "Father-in-law doesn't have to be like this, how can mere ginseng pills compare with the health of my father-in-law? Besides, my son-in-law has now found a stable source of precious ginseng. If the family really needs it in the future, Just ask someone to configure it again, there is no need to refuse.”

Hearing what Jia Jing said, Lin Ruhai just accepted the porcelain bottle.

"You are a filial child!"

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Jing with satisfaction, then remembered something, and said with a smile: "If you say that I came here today, I planned to discuss with you. When I fail, I will transfer all the family property under my name to you and Dai. Yu, it saves those irrelevant offshoots, but who would have taken advantage of you again."

"What works, don't say that," Jia Jing joked, "Now that you have ginseng pills to regulate your body, my father-in-law will definitely be able to flourish for decades!"

Lin Ruhai couldn't help being amused by Jia Jing's words.

But the words that followed were what really changed his color.

"By the way, there is also the family business of my father-in-law. According to my son-in-law, you should keep it for yourself. When sister Daiyu has an heir in the future, you can ask him to change his surname to Lin with you!"

"……what!!"
