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

Chapter 55
Jiu Siyu said sarcastically: "They always say that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, which clearly means that a woman has her own "talent and learning", but being able to distinguish right from wrong is a rare virtue.

But those people deliberately understand that it is a virtue for women to be illiterate, and they don't know what good it is for them to suppress women. I really hope that they can be tricked to death by their own illiterate women. "

After hearing this, Daiyu nodded in agreement: "What my sister said is reasonable, I really should let them suffer from it, otherwise if they misunderstand the meaning of the book so much, how can I let people learn the true knowledge in the future? .”

When Jiusi heard her words, she laughed and teased her: "Since you are so worried about this matter, why don't you work harder to sort out those messy books, and then recompile them into volumes.

Furthermore, our family is originally a scholarly family, most of which are those books. It just so happens that our family still has a bookstore, manpower, and financial resources. If you really want to do it, I am not afraid that you will not be able to do it. "

After hearing this, Daiyu thought about it carefully, and felt that this method is feasible, and said, "Is what my sister said really true? Can the book store and those servants really be used by me?"

Jiusi said it casually, seeing how serious she was, after thinking about it for a moment, she felt that it was a good idea for her to take this path.

Ancient times were originally an era when literature was prevalent. If she could really do this, she would definitely be famous all over the world, attract the admiration of all scholars, and she would also be very confident when facing others.

Thinking of this, she nodded to Daiyu solemnly, and said: "Of course it is true, as long as you think about it, then you can. Tomorrow I will give you the title deed of the book shop and the deeds of those servants. If the money is not enough If you need it, you can also come to me directly to get it, as long as you want, my sister will definitely support you with all my strength."

Daiyu didn't expect that she would really agree, let alone that she would support her so much, so she couldn't help but rushed to her moved: "Thank you, sister, you are so kind to me."

Jiu Si smiled and stretched out her hand to catch her, then turned her arms around and put her on his back, carrying her on his back, and sent her back to the room like this.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiusi got up and found the land deeds of the bookstore and the deeds of the servants, and asked Yiyue to send them to Daiyu.

The Lin family was originally a family of scholars. In terms of business, apart from cloth shops, pawn shops, inns, grain and oil shops, tea shops and antique shops, the most common business is book shops.

It's just that most of the industries are in Yangzhou and Gusu's hometown, which are too far away, and it's not convenient for Jiusi to manage, so I left it to Lin Ruhai to take care of it.

However, after she came to Beijing, she bought another large book shop. The book shop has two floors. The first floor sells the Four Treasures of the Study and books, the second floor is for reading and copying books, and the third floor is for her and Daiyu. It is a private site, and the backyard is used to print books, and the business is very good.

Although the book shop is relatively large, Daiyu has been learning to manage the family property for a while, so it should be no problem at all, as long as people pay more attention and don't be tricked by others.

With things to do, Daiyu became much more energetic, and she didn't feel too tired after practicing martial arts. She didn't even talk about taking a break after eating breakfast, so she asked someone to prepare a carriage and took them to read her book. I went.

Seeing that she was so active, Jiusi didn't stop her, and after ordering August and Jiuyue to follow and protect her, she went with her, while she was busy meeting the managers of various shops.

As the year approached, she had a lot of things to deal with. Not only did she have to prepare the annual gifts for the people she came and went with, but she also had to check the accounts, and then arrange rewards for those in charge and servants according to their respective situations.

In addition, there are some people who have sent invitation posts to the Lin family. She also needs to consider replying to them, so as not to get involved with people who shouldn't be involved, or accidentally offend people who shouldn't be offended. His feet don't touch the ground.

Seeing that she was so busy, Daiyu ran to the bookstore even more frequently, not only to be caught by her, but also to not hinder her from handling things. With her present, my sister would be a little worried when handling things.

For example, there used to be a manager who managed an antique shop, because he liked the antiques in the hands of an ordinary customer and didn't want to spend too much money, so he used the power of the Lin family to sell the things to him at a low price. .

Not to mention breaking the rules set by my sister, the father who also harmed died because he didn't get medical treatment in time.

After my sister found out about this, she was going to cancel the man's tricks, and then send him to the government for punishment.

In the end, just because of her presence, my sister didn't want her to see blood, so she just beat the steward and sent him to the government, which caused some stewards to become disobedient.

If it wasn't for my sister's timely handling of those stewards according to their respective situations, I'm afraid the shop would be difficult to manage.

Since then, when my sister was dealing with things, she never participated in them again. Although my sister's methods of handling things were not gentle, they were all fair.

Just like that steward, even if he had someone spend money to clear up the relationship and avoid guilt, he was sent to the guest by his sister in the end. Even if he couldn't atone for his sin with death, he had to pay the due price.

The two sisters were busy with their own affairs, but they forgot about asking Anzhe until a eunuch who passed the decree arrived, and then they remembered that they had entered the palace to face the saint.

But it's not their fault, Nanny Lin has already made arrangements for the disaster victims outside the city, and now they have all started their new lives in the Lin family's village, so the two sisters naturally can't remember this.

The two sisters packed up, and when they came to the front yard of Rongguo Mansion, the Jia family was already waiting there, and they were all greeting the eunuch who passed the decree, as if they wanted to get some news from the other party, and what annoyed the eunuch who passed the decree was He frowned.

Seeing them coming, the eunuch got up with a displeased face, and said loudly: "Since the two girls have arrived, let's announce the decree!"

When everyone heard the words, they all knelt down and saluted, waiting for him to announce the decree.

Seeing the person kneeling down, the eunuch said: "The emperor ordered Lin Jiusi, the eldest daughter of the Xuanlin family, and Lin Daiyu, the second daughter of the Lin family, to meet!"

Jiusi and Daiyu, who were kneeling in front of them, listened, and replied in unison: "My daughter Lin Jiusi, and my daughter Lin Daiyu obey the order!"

After announcing the decree, the eunuch turned a cold face and said to the two of them: "You two girls, come with our house, don't make the emperor wait too long."

As soon as Jiusi heard this, she understood that the other party had been waiting for a long time, and had a problem with the two sisters.

There is a saying that the king of Hades is easy to see, and the little devil is difficult to deal with. The most feared thing in the palace is to offend these father-in-laws, because if you are not careful, you will be tricked by them.

For example, when passing a message, if the other party says one less word or one more word, the meaning will change immediately.

There are also other small details, such as the order of seating, where you can go, where you can't go, the order of introducing the nobles, and everyone's preferences, they are all unpredictable.

She took a step forward, handed the father-in-law a purse without any trace, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what the father-in-law's name is?"
