The Red Chamber: Daiyu's eldest sister is not easy to be

Chapter 165

On the carriage back home, seeing her frowning and not speaking, Daiyu asked worriedly: "Sister, what's the matter, why are you always frowning?

But what does the emperor want you to do? "

Jiusi didn't hide this from her, thought about his words, and told her: "It's nothing, it's just that I heard some news about Yuanchun's concubine, and I specially asked people to prepare more things to sell, and the profit is a bit too high. Besides, it’s my own business, so I can’t keep the money.”

After all, she still has to pay back the money owed to the national treasury. Now that the explanation is clear, it will be easy to handle things in the future.

Daiyu was no longer the Xiaobai before. When she heard that it was a benefit that would make the emperor even open her mouth, she couldn't help asking in surprise, "The benefit is too high? How high?"

Jiu Si didn't tell her the exact amount, but simply said: "I earned 20 taels in two days."

Daiyu knew that building a garden would cost a lot, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive, and her face was full of disbelief: "Does it cost so much money to build a family-friendly garden?"

Jiu Si knew that she had misunderstood, so she explained to her one by one: "The family can't spend that much, so there are other families, and the Jia family is not the only one who confers the concubine to visit relatives.

Besides, what they build gardens is for the sake of face, and when they compare the two, it is natural to use what is expensive and what is rare.

If some things are relatively small, and even have to compete for bids, the price will be much higher than the original price if it comes and goes.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, things are really not expensive, but the cost of transportation, the thought of the craftsman, and the profit in the middle are relatively high. "

It was the first time Daiyu had heard of such a thing, and she was surprised to ask a lot of questions before asking another question: "Since there are so many twists and turns here, why didn't my sister use her own shop first?" How about selling it?"

Jiusi knew that she would ask about this, and she had already thought about what to say, so she opened her mouth and said, "When I got the news, it was not long before Yuanchun became a concubine. When the news is not true, I dare not take risks." That risk.

Besides, although those things are not as expensive as what they bought, the price is not low. If you use your own shop to sell them, once the news is false, the loss will be huge.

If my father pursues it at that time, I will not be able to explain why, so I have to use my own private money.

Who knows that the news is true, but the benefits are so frighteningly large. The Lin family and I can't control so much money. We can only return the money owed to the treasury, and take the initiative to hand over the money, otherwise the trouble will be big up. "

After hearing this, Daiyu thought about it carefully, and felt that what she said was reasonable, so she didn't say anything more. In order to make her plan go smoothly, she even helped Jiusi come up with a lot of ideas.

In any case, this matter is ultimately an offending matter. After Jiusi went back, he sent someone to send a letter to Lin Ruhai in a hurry, asking for his opinion.

It wasn't until she received a letter of support from him that she began her plans.

This matter cannot be brought by her family. If this matter is to be escalated to meet the emperor's wishes, someone must agree with it.

So, before she owed the money, she deliberately contacted several families who had special friendship with the Lin family, and then told them about the matter, and let them choose whether they want to win this rich road.

The results were mixed. Half of the courageous families chose to gamble for the future of their children and grandchildren, while the other half did not want to take that risk to break the current stable state, and chose neither to participate nor disclose the matter.

After Jiu Si learned about it, she only asked those families who agreed to give back the time to pay back the owed money. As for the families who did not participate, she was not worried that the other party would spread the news.

Since she dared to tell them about this matter, she was quite sure that they would not be able to speak.

From the moment they learned the news, they were under surveillance, not to mention spreading the news, if there was a slight inappropriate behavior, they would be locked up immediately until the matter was resolved.

Jiu Si acted very quickly, as soon as the plan was arranged, she asked people to prepare the money that needed to be returned according to the amount on the owed silver note.

Then, I picked a sunny day, and asked someone to take the box of silver, and sent it to the Ministry of Households in a big way.

In order to attract the attention of others, she also told Steward Lin and the others to choose all the boxes without lids when packing the silver, and remove the lids even if they had boxes.

The purpose is to expose the shiny silver to the sun, appear in the eyes of the common people and those who care, and attract all their eyes.

Just like this, she still felt that the formation was not strong enough, so she deliberately selected many nursing homes to escort the money.

All the already tall nurses, once they put on the special uniform uniforms, it's so simple, it's quite eye-catching when walking on the street!
Walking all the way, there was no one who didn't talk about it. When they found out that they were going to the household department, those people talked more vigorously.

The people onlookers commented one after another: "So much money, such a big battle, I don't know which one belongs to it?"

After hearing this, a person who knew the matter hurriedly said: "I know, I know, this is the Lin family who is related to the Rongguo Mansion.

I heard that the girl of their family lived in Rongguo Mansion for a long time in order to fulfill her parents' filial piety, until she was too old to live there, so she moved back to Lin Mansion. "

Another insider heard the words and couldn't help but sneered: "Besides, I don't think they moved out when they grew up, but that the Second Master Bao of the Rongguo Mansion was making a fuss, and they moved out because they were afraid that their girl's reputation would be tarnished." Let's do it!"

As soon as everyone heard about the Second Master Bao, they immediately became interested and started chatting one after another. After a while, the topic changed out of shape.

Seeing this, the servants who were arranged in the crowd hurriedly tried to bring the topic back, otherwise if these people really let these people chat like this, it is estimated that today's excitement would be in vain.

Fortunately, the money was attractive enough, and those servants brought up the topic again with a few words, and everyone once again focused on paying back the money they owed.

The people from the household department had been notified a long time ago, and they had been waiting at the door early in the morning. Some curious people came forward to inquire, and they did not hide it. coming.

Not only they talked about this matter, but also the housekeeper Lin and the guards of the Lin family. As for the protagonist Jiusi, because it was not convenient to show up, he could only wait for the news at home.

Fortunately, she has mental strength, even if she is at home, it will not delay her watching the fun.

As soon as Jiusi made a move here, the several families who got the news also started to move. Although each of them was not as noisy as her, but because the things in exchange for money were so good, they made a lot of noise. up.

If it's just one family, it's okay, once there are more people who pay back the money, the discussion can no longer be stopped. It didn't take long for this matter to spread in the capital, and gradually began to spread outside.
