Red House Shoufu

Chapter 13
Early the next morning, Jia Lian came and waited at the door without waiting for Lin Shu to get up.

Fuquan opened his mouth sleepily, "Second Master Lian, who is this?"

"I'm here to look for my cousin, is he awake?" Jia Lian's eyes were bloodshot, and his chin was full of stubble.

"Master hasn't woken up yet..."

Creaking, Lin Shu put on his coat and opened the door: "Cousin Lian is here so early? Fuquan, go prepare some breakfast and send it over."

Lin Shu invited Jia Lian into the room to sit down, and he quickly finished washing himself.

The two of them hurriedly finished their breakfast before sitting down to talk.

"Cousin Lian has made a decision?"

Lin Shu took the records of the Embroidered Guards from Jia Lian, and asked casually: "If you need help from my younger brother, Cousin Lian will just say it."

Jia Lian said bitterly: "At first I really didn't know that the situation in the mansion was on the verge of family ruin. Why did your cousin give us usury money? It's because she couldn't make ends meet. She, the head of the family in name, subsidized all her dowry. .”

Lin Shu also read the detailed records of the Rongguo Mansion. Wang Xifeng was very strong and jealous, but he had a deep affection for Jia Lian.

But he has a hot personality, deep scheming, ruthless work, and a little unreasonable.Daiyu lived in Rongguo Mansion for three years, and Wang Xifeng took good care of her. Lin Shu handed over this record to Jia Lian. One of his selfish intentions was to hope that Wang Xifeng could turn around early and make up for his mistakes, so as not to end up with one obedience, two orders and three people. Crying to the tragic ending of Jinling.

"I'm not afraid of my cousin's jokes when I say it. Brother, I like beautiful women, but she is the one I love the most in my heart. If she continues to make mistakes, it will either be a white silk or a thousand miles away. Therefore, I plan to catch up with her in the near future." Go back to the capital and start dealing with the bad things in the mansion."

Lin Shu understood what Jia Lian said.This is the second master Lian who values ​​love and righteousness. Even though this wife is strong and jealous, he still can't let go of Wang Xifeng who grew up with him.

"Cousin Lian is a good guy, that's what a real man should be like. After the younger brother writes a letter, you take it to find Eunuch Xia, and he will report your matter to His Majesty. This is considered to be in His Majesty's sight."

Lin Shu was going to write a letter as he spoke, but Jia Lian stopped him and said, "Don't worry, cousin, brother has something to say."

I only heard Jia Lian say: "After returning to Beijing, I guess I will use a lot of silver. I thought about dealing with some shops and Zhuangzi in Jinling, so I could get some cash to do things. Except for Xue's family in the south of the Yangtze River, I can rest assured that my cousin is here. Is it possible for me to take over these shops and Zhuangzi?"

It seemed that Jia Lian had been planning these things since last night. After returning to Beijing, it was impossible for him to ask to see Xia Shouzhong with just a letter.

What is the eunuch's favorite?Of course it's white money.But how could Jia Lian's monthly money get into Xia Shouzhong's eyes?He couldn't get the money in the mansion, so he started with Jinling's property.

Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. By the time the old lady finds out, she has already become the emperor's person. What else can she do?
Lin Shu smiled, shook his head, took out a box from the cabinet next to the bed, opened it in front of Jia Lian, and inside was a stack of banknotes.

"This is a 100,000 taels bank note. Cousin Lian will take it first. If you exchange family property for money, it will be unattractive after all."

Jia Lian was so shocked that he quickly declined, and he said what he was thinking: "No, no, this money is too hot for me. Let's exchange those lands with Zhuangzi. Anyway, my good second aunt also sold a lot, not bad. Here are my places."

Lin Shu replied, dumbfounded: "It's a loan to Cousin Lian, so there's no need to rush to repay it. Cousin, please remember: Only those who stand on the high ground of morality can criticize others. You can only get the support of the majority of the Jia clan." , in order to truly control the Rongguo Mansion. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for you to have the taint of stealing and selling the family property."

Jia Lian still accepted the banknote in the end, Lin Shu was right, he won't get much support from the Ningrong and Rongfu, but the clan members of the clan, he can try to win him over.

As long as she has the support of the majority of the tribe, even if the old lady wants to deal with herself, she has to weigh it.

……

Jia Lian didn't wait until Lin Ruhai's 100,000th day, so Jia Lian hurriedly bid farewell and left, with the [-] taels bank note and letter from Lin Shu in his arms, as well as the letter written by Daiyu to everyone in Jia's family, and took Zijuan to the north by boat.

Standing at the dock of Suzhou, Lin Shu looked at the ships going away, and said to himself with a smile, "Rongguo Mansion, the wind is about to blow!"

Daiyu next to her asked with some confusion: "Why does my brother support the second brother Lian to disturb the peace of Rongguo Mansion? My grandmother is getting old, and I don't want her to bear this."

Lin Shu touched her little head: "Rongguo Mansion has never been calm, it can even be said that the undercurrent is raging, and it has been walking on the edge of the cliff. Only by changing the gate of Rongguo Mansion can we get rid of the situation of family ruin. Do you want to see your Is the sister in prison?"

"Then why is the second brother Lian? Wouldn't it be more convenient for the eldest uncle to do it?"

Daiyu was very puzzled, obviously the eldest uncle was the owner of the Rongguo Mansion, so it was more convenient for the eldest uncle to do these things than Lian's second brother, a junior.

In fact, when Lin Shu told Daiyu about these things, her first thought was to remind her grandmother to find a way to separate herself from Concubine Zhen's family.

But then she thought of what her brother had said to her. Grandmother was afraid that she wanted her second uncle to inherit Rongguo Mansion.

And the second aunt, Wang Shi, was probably the one who poisoned her.Moreover, the grandmother has a high chance of knowing that she was given chronic poison.

Thinking of this, Daiyu stopped thinking about reminding her, and only told her recent situation in the letter, and firmly declined the invitation to go north.

Hearing Daiyu's question, Lin Shu sighed: "There are three people in the Rongguo Mansion who are capable of accomplishing this matter, your eldest uncle Jia She, your second uncle Jia Zheng, and the other is Cousin Lian. Cousin Lian is the only one who is virtuous and talented."

Daiyu retorted: "Who said that, Second Brother Lian... my grandmother often scolded him, saying that he stole chickens and dogs all day long, and dragged dirty and smelly things into the house. Although I don't understand it very well, I know, it means Brother Lian is lustful..."

As she spoke, she slapped her nose with her small hand, with a look of contempt on her face.

Lin Shu flicked her forehead lightly, ignoring the resistance of Daiyu's claws and claws, pressed his forehead and said: "The son of the duke's mansion, the grandson of the duke of the country, what is lust? Have you ever heard of him harming women from a good family? You Have you heard of him oppressing the people?"

Seeing Daiyu's angry look, Lin Shu withdrew his palm that suppressed her.

Daiyu snorted, and lightly stepped on Lin Shu's foot as revenge.She retorted unwillingly: "Isn't it considered lustful? Sister Feng is often so angry that she can't eat because of these things... If the second brother Lian is a good one, grandma won't scold him often."

Lin Shu lamented Jia Lian's difficulties in Rongguo Mansion, and sighed: "Silly boy, if your grandmother didn't say that, how could you highlight the innocence and kindness of that second master Bao, who is unparalleled in the world? Having fun, this is a perfectly normal thing. How come it's getting to the point where my own grandmother is always cursing?"
