Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 202 Not the husband!

Daiyu set out south to Yangzhou in the winter months. Because the canal was frozen, she could only take a car for half the journey. She was already weak and had a long journey, and she missed her father Lin Ruhai, so she fell ill just after arriving in Shandong.

Arriving in Yangzhou in the twelfth lunar month, Lin Ruhai was seriously ill. The Lin family is a small family. There is only one person in this generation, Lin Ruhai, and no other brothers or sisters.

Lin Ruhai only had one daughter, Daiyu, and his first wife Jia Min died young. A few years ago, she finally got a son, but he died again. Although Lin Ruhai asked Aunt Sun to take charge of the family, it was not justified because it was Dai Yufu who supported the family business as soon as she returned.

In February, the royal doctor sent by the saint arrived. Daiyu originally thought that her father's illness would get better now that the imperial doctors were here, but unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai not only failed to improve, but also became critically ill several times.

There is a saying that when a tree fell down and the hozens scattered, seeing Lin Ruhai critically ill, all kinds of monsters and ghosts pounced on him. First, the newly acquired Aunt Qiao paid more than 7,000 taels of silver, and left without returning on the pretext of saving her relatives; then, the servants in the family deceived Daiyu when she was young, falsely reported the accounts, and secretly misappropriated the Lin family property; and then there was another Qingqing guest who actually had an affair with Aunt Liu. dye!

In troubled times, heavy codes are used, and strong medicines are used for serious illnesses!

That day in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Rui was reckless in provoking Sister-in-law Zhu. Daiyu could see how ruthless Li Weijian was.

Although Daiyu didn't ask about it afterward, she knew that this move was in line with the saying, "If you hit with one punch, you will avoid hundreds of punches."

In the Rongguo Mansion, Daiyu still had to be patient, but now that she was in her own home, how could she be patient?

Aunt Qiao was just a maid, and Daiyu went straight to Jiangdu County to pursue runaway slaves; those dishonest servants were fired, and the family's sons were sent to Gusu Zhuangzi; Aunt Liu and the Qingke, Daiyu ordered her legs to be broken and thrown out of the city, leaving her to fend for herself.

Such a ruthless attack immediately caused the entire Lin family to be tidied up.

During this period, Daiyu and Aunt Sun took care of Lin Ruhai and took care of official dealings... It was May of the 10th year of Zhenghe, and Daiyu was only eleven years old. A girl from a wealthy family would only be able to enter a boudoir at this age. , every day at home is just playing and having fun, so why do you have to work so hard?

Daiyu gritted her teeth and held on. She knew that the Lin family only had her and her father, Lin Ruhai, and that her father was seriously ill and could not take care of himself, so she could only support him.

In April, Daiyu took the initiative and hired the famous doctor Xu Daye, and Lin Ruhai's condition improved. Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, relatives from Gusu came looking for her.

Daiyu was very cruel to her concubines, Qingke and servants. However, no matter how angry Ren Daiyu was about treating such a relative, clan etiquette was paramount, but her father didn't speak, she could only endure it.

The second uncle, Lin Cang, and his cousin, Lin Yu, the former visited the house every day to inquire about the welfare. What kind of calculations did Daiyu have? How could Daiyu not know? I'm afraid that if his father Lin Ruhai dies, his second uncle will take away all the family's property; that cousin Lin Yu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but he lives on the small Qinhuai River seven out of ten days, and slaps Lin Ruhai In the name of the police, I don’t know how many dirty things I have done in private!

Daiyu tried to persuade Lin Ruhai several times while she was awake, but although Lin Ruhai knew about it, she never fell out with her second uncle.

Daiyu is smart, but she doesn't know her father's concerns.

When her father died, Daiyu became an orphan. According to the rules at this time, the family property must be returned to the clan, and Daiyu will be raised by the clan. When you grow up and get married, you will only need to pay a dowry.

Lin Ruhai didn't fall out because she was afraid that Daiyu would be treated harshly by her tribe. Daiyu secretly cried several times over this, she just hated herself for being useless and unable to be born a man and stand up in the family. She did not believe in Buddhism, but she secretly sought help from gods and Buddhas many times to help her father's condition improve, hoping that someone could help her.

There was a back and forth between the second brother Lian. Although he was quite concerned about Daiyu, he was unable to help her with her family affairs. He turned around and had a disagreement with Lin Yu, so he went to Jinling again.

Daiyu felt so sad that she didn't know who else she could count on. I dreamed about Brother Jian twice in the middle of the night, but I also knew that Brother Jian was not a god. How could he mess around with such household matters?

Unexpectedly, fourth brother Jian actually came! Not only did she come, she also did what Daiyu wanted to do but couldn't!

Seeing her cousin's mouth full of blood and speechless, Daiyu felt extremely happy in her heart! A pair of eyes that seemed to be weeping but not weeping were full of crystal clear eyes, and she wished she could come over now. Even if she couldn't do anything, it would be good to wave flags, shout, and beat drums to cheer.

But when the second uncle Lin Cang heard the name of Fourth Brother Jian, his face suddenly froze. The Lin family has lived in Gusu for a long time. Although they lost their title and fell into decline, they still have deep roots in Gusu and have countless relatives and friends.

During this and February, the cement business stirred up Jiangnan. Countless gentry were running around secretly to find a share of the stock. How could the Lin family not know about it?

Lin Cang knew that the young official in front of him was extremely red! In the past, there was the Capital Water Service, and now there is the Xishan Cement Service. With one person's efforts, he collected more than 20 million taels of silver for the saint, and the gentry and wealthy people who paid for it all praised him.

Not to mention that he just beat his son, so what if he killed him? To put it bluntly, even if the saint had murderous intentions, all the princes in the court would have to stop him... Just kidding, without Li Caishen, wouldn't the Dashun court have to live a hard life again?

Knowing that the young official in front of him was Li Weijian, Lin Cang's aura suddenly dropped by half. Despite this, he still forced himself to speak and said: "Master Li doesn't care about the ins and outs of the matter, he just takes action when he comes up, but he doesn't take my Gusu Lin family seriously?"

Li Weijian wanted to argue a few words, but he nodded with a smile and said: "The old gentleman is talking about the Lin family in Gusu... I really don't pay attention to it. Now that you have this post, you might as well let me Official knowledge?"

"You -" Lin Cang knew that he could not offend Li Weijian, so he was so angry that he trembled all over. He said, "We'll see," and flicked his sleeves. He didn't even care about his own son and walked away.

Even though Lin Yu was used to being domineering and domineering, he could still tell the difference between his eyebrows and his eyes. Seeing Lin Cang leaving like this, he knew that the young official in front of him was not someone he could mess with, so he had to get up in despair, vomiting blood, and walked out in despair.

Li Weijian watched the father and son leave the main room, turned around and picked up the name card on the desk, raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of Daiyu with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Do the relatives of my sister's family have good memories? I don't know if they have left the house." Do you still remember who I am?"

A smile broke out on Daiyu's face and she said, "Fourth brother Jian's name is not obvious. My second uncle is old, so I guess his memory is wrong." After saying that, she took two steps forward and greeted Yingying Yifu. : "Fourth Brother Jian."

"Sister." Li Weijian smiled and held up his hands.

Daiyu stood up, holding back the joy in her heart, and pulled Aunt Sun and said, "Fourth Brother Jian, this is Aunt Sun."

Seeing that Aunt Sun was only twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, she also smiled and said: "Jian..., I have met Mr. Li twice."

Li Weijian hurriedly said: "Auntie, you're welcome. I have been friends with the Salt Division for many years, so we only talk about our ages. Auntie can just call me Brother Jian."

"Hey, brother Jian, sit down quickly. Come here, serve tea! Brother Jian, sit down quickly. The master has just slept peacefully... When did brother Jian arrive in Yangzhou?"

Li Weijian lifted up his robe and Shi Shiran sat down and said with a smile: "I arrived last night. I thought I wouldn't disturb him at night, so I rested for the night in the post house and came to see the Yansi in the morning."

"Have you had breakfast?"

"I came in a hurry, but I took a whole bite."

Aunt Sun said angrily: "How to get the food in the post house? It just so happens that the girl is of no use. Let's sit and talk with Brother Jian first, and I'll go to the kitchen to prepare some more dishes."

Aunt Sun told her, and then led a maid down to make arrangements.

In the hall, only Daiyu and Li Weijian were left, and then there were the three maids Qingwen, Zijuan and Xueyan.

Li Weijian took a brief look at Daiyu, and after not seeing her for more than half a year, he saw that Daiyu's figure was slim, she had grown a lot taller, and her body had become much thinner. I couldn't help but feel a pinch in my heart, and said: "My sister looks like she has lost weight. How have you been these past few months?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Everything is fine." Even if it's not good, she doesn't want to say it right now. After a brief scan of Li Weijian, she saw that his complexion was darker and more angular. Daiyu said, "Fourth brother Jian looks thinner."

Li Weijian nodded and said: "It's been more than three months since I first went to Guangzhou and then north to Suzhou. I must have been caught up in something. I've been here to see my sister for a long time."

Although Daiyu was in the boudoir of the inner house, she had newspapers to keep in touch with world affairs, and her father's friends and old friends came to visit from time to time, always bringing some news, so she probably knew that Li Weijian had done great things this time.

Daiyu then said: "Fourth brother Jian has a royal life, so he always has to run errands first. I don't have anything else to do here..."

Daiyu didn't mean what she said, so why couldn't Li Weijian tell it?

The maid offered the tea, Li Weijian held it in her hand and said, "My sister is smart and can handle household affairs, but there are always some flies that are difficult to deal with... It just so happens that my sister is not easy to take care of, so I will take care of them."

"This time, it's all thanks to Brother Jian. When father wakes up, I will be able to explain the matter."

Li Weijian waved his hand and said, "It's just a cat or a dog that jumped out of nowhere. Just send it away. I don't think Lin Yansi will argue with me about it." After a pause, Li Weijian glanced at the two maids aside.

Zicuckoo lowered her eyebrows, but the Snow Goose's face was full of joy, and her eyes blinked, but she hesitated to speak.

Li Weijian asked: "Xueyan, how is your girl's diet these days? Has she suffered from any old symptoms?"

Xue Yan immediately complained: "Four Master Jian didn't know that the girl fell ill on the way back. At the end of the twelfth lunar month, when I returned to Yangzhou, the master fell ill again. The servants and guests at home were all thinking of profit, so the girl dragged her sick body and tortured her. After handling them one by one, this smoky atmosphere was finally cleared.

But in April, the second master brought Uncle Huang to the door again, displaying the records of the elders and making things difficult for the girl. The girl was so angry that at night——"

"Who wants you to talk too much?" Daiyu said in shock: "It's all housework of relatives, I can handle it. Fourth brother Jian doesn't have to listen to Xueyan's gossip..."

Li Weijian put down his teacup and said warmly: "In my opinion, only those who can get along are considered relatives. If we can't get along with each other, what kind of relatives are we?"

Daiyu's heart suddenly changed, that's what she thought.

Then Li Weijian said again: "Sister, don't worry about it. My second uncle will have something to do at home recently, and he will go back in a few days."

How could Daiyu not hear the hidden meaning? He said slightly worriedly: "Fourth brother Jian..."

"It doesn't matter, I have discretion."

Daiyu raised her eyes, took a deep look at Li Weijian, and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Xueyan behind him couldn't help but pursed his lips and exposed two small tiger teeth; Qingwen followed Li Weijian, how could she not understand this situation? Although she didn't have much contact with Daiyu, she was very proud of her mistress with such a temper, so she also smiled.

After a moment of silence, Aunt Sun returned. Followed by several maids, carrying dinner plates with meals prepared for the two of them.

Li Weijian stood up and thanked Aunt Sun. After sitting down, he greeted: "Sister, would you like to use some with me?"

"it is good."

Daiyu was vomiting most of her depression and feeling hungry. She followed Li Weijian to a bowl of porridge and two small steamed buns. She hadn't eaten so much in a long time, and she felt a little stuffed for a while.

At this moment, a coughing sound suddenly came from inside. Aunt Sun hurriedly went inside to check, and then sent the maid to call: "Master Li, miss, the master is awake. I heard that Master Li came to the door, and the master will see Li immediately. grown ups."

............................................................

In the side hall.

Wu Haining laughed along with him, snatched the tea offered by the clerk, put it in front of Cheng Wei first, and said with a shy smile: "Mr. Shao has tea, hehe."

Cheng Wei felt bored, so he picked up the teacup and skimmed off the foam. I heard Wu Haining say: "Commander, why don't you tell me again how the battle in Qinghai was fought? To be honest, I was born too late to let go of the Han Dynasty. With my ability , even if he is not as good as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, he can still compete with Li Guang..."

"Bah, it's just you? Pay it back to Li Guang?" Cheng Wei couldn't help it. He stood up, grabbed his collar, lifted him up, and yelled: "You don't have any flesh on your body, which one of your eyes is looking at you?" Comparable to Li Guang?"

Wu Haining curled his lips and said: "No... Chief Sentinel, this battle involves brains. Using swords and guns is the job of the boss. Do you think Han Xin can beat Fan Kuai? Let's see if Zhuge Liang can beat Guan Yu? It's hard work. Those who work hard govern others."

"Go, go, go, be careful if you make any more noise, I'll ask a few people to give you a good drill."

Wu Haining landed with his feet on the ground and refused to give up, saying: "Besides, in today's wars, we are competing to see who can fire the cannon accurately. I am not bragging to you. I am following my master in firing the cannon. A hundred steps away, I can get six out of ten." !”

Cheng Heng scolded: "You still have the nerve to say that? You are using a new type of fire gun, and any other girl would be able to hit six out of ten!"

Wu Haining was thinking about coaxing Cheng Wei when he suddenly saw an old man and a young man walking around in a panic outside. The older one's face was gloomy, and the younger one's mouth was full of blood.

Wu Haining blinked and said, "Hey, are you biting your tongue? The boss knows that you can't commit suicide by biting your tongue. My master said it. Huh? These two people looked like they came out of the inner house. How did they get such blood in their mouths? of?"

Wu Haining was an inquisitive person. Without saying a word, Pihou had already reached the door of Neiyi. He murmured with the servant guarding the door, and then bumped into Butler Yu. After talking for a while, he turned around and touched his chin in thought. Okay, come back.

Arriving in the side hall, Wu Haining said happily: "The blood on that person's mouth just now was actually done by my master."

Cheng Heng frowned and stood up suddenly: "You are so tired of living. What's the reason?"

Cheng Yu was born in Wuyizhen, which was King Zhongyong's old foundation. Before setting off, King Zhongyong personally explained that even if the brothers on this post died, they would have to protect Li Weijian back with all his strength.

Cheng Heng was careful and vigilant along the way, but fortunately it was smooth sailing and he never encountered any trouble. Arriving at the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, Cheng Heng relaxed a little. Who would have dared to disturb Tai Sui!

I heard Wu Haining say: "He is Lin Yansi's brother."

Lin Yansi's brothers... it would be difficult to take action. Lin Yansi was a figure in the emperor's heart. After thinking about it, Cheng Heng felt something was wrong again: "Did Mr. Li have a quarrel with Lin Yansi?"

"This is not—" Wu Haining said in a few words the news he had learned from Butler Yu.

After hearing this, Cheng Wei suddenly felt contempt in his heart: "Ganqing is a loser and deserves to be beaten."

Wu Haining cupped his hands and said, "Commander Sentinel, please lend me some brothers to strengthen your momentum."

Cheng Heng frowned and said, "Don't beat anyone to death."

Wu Haining was happy and said: "Beating someone to death? In the words of my master, beating someone is too low-level. To deal with those two people, a letter of name is enough, why bother dirtying the brothers' hands?"

General Cheng Wei was doubtful, but in the end he sent two forbidden troops to accompany him. Wu Haining led the people out of the Yansi Yamen and headed straight for the Yangzhou Fuyamen. Yangzhou Government Office is not far from Yansi Government Office, just across Tongsi Bridge. Wu Haining led two forbidden soldiers to the gate of Deyamen. The two guards caught a glimpse of the forbidden soldiers with guns and live ammunition. They immediately did not dare to neglect, and one of them stepped forward to greet him: "This... young master, what do you want to do for me?"

"It's hard work," Wu Haining cupped his hands and said, "May I ask the name of Gao, the secret servant in charge of money and food in the Yamen?"

The man said: "I don't dare to say it's hard work. The eldest master's secret servant who is in charge of money and food is named Qu."

Wu Haining took out a famous card and handed it to the general and said: "My master is a second-class man, Li Tao Weijian, a doctor in the Kuaiji Department of the inner government. This time I have something to discuss with my friend Qu Mu."

Although the disciples didn't know who Li Weijian was, they heard that he had a title, so how could they dare to be so rude? While asking the doorman to pass the news inside, he asked Wu Haining to wait in the side hall.

Wu Haining sat down in the side hall, but after waiting for a moment, a group of 50 or 50-year-old outsiders came over with smiles on their faces.

Yaoyao cupped his hands and said: "Hey, I was woken up by a magpie early this morning. I was wondering where the good thing came from, but unexpectedly it should be here. I'm here to invite you. I'm going to tell you, Qu Zong, now I am the eldest master. Take care of money and food. When the governor heard that Mr. Li had been to Yangzhou, he wanted to go to the Yamen today to visit him, but unexpectedly, Mr. Li sent someone to visit him first."

Wu Haining hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "You are so polite, Mr. Qu. My husband came here to visit Lin Yansi. He really didn't want to disturb the place, so he kept silent. Originally, he also wanted to visit Lin Yansi before coming to visit the master. Haha, it can be said that I have thought of the same thing as Mr. Fu Zun. Haha... Oh, I, Wu Haining, am now on errands with my master."

"It's Brother Wu, please sit down quickly, Brother Wu. Come here, serve some good tea, and use my Biluochun!"

After a while, the servant served tea and the two of them had passed their greetings. Wu Haining said: "To be honest, my husband is still in Lin Yansi's house, but he is very angry."

Qu Zong said he was shocked: "Who dares to offend Mr. Li?"

Wu Haining immediately added fuel to the fire and recounted the virtues of the father and son of the Lin family. Qu Zong couldn't help but shook his head and cursed: "If you are not a son of a human being, you are really not a son of a human being!"

Cursing like this, Qu Zong said he felt happy. The Salt Division and the local government do not belong to each other, and the local authorities even respect the Salt Division because of their power to secretly report. Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, and the governor just did his duty as a colleague and paid a visit.

But Li Weijian is different, he is Li Caishen!

It took only one or two months after arriving in Jiangnan to create a stir and create a cement business worth 30 million taels out of thin air! The gentry praised him, and Suzhou Prefecture became rich because of it! Now that Zhuang Yougong was unable to take office as a new official, he used millions of taels of silver to claim that he would build stone ponds all over Suzhou.

After hearing this, the eldest master of the palace felt very sad for a while, and secretly cursed Zhuang Yougong for his bad luck. The gentry regarded Li Weijian as the God of Wealth, but these local officials regarded Li Weijian as the first step in their career.

I know with my knees that after the stone pond was built, Suzhou's ability to withstand floods has greatly increased, and there are countless polders, so the evaluation must be top-notch. It is impossible to say that Zhuang Yougong only served as magistrate for one term and had to be promoted to the court.

The governor of Yangzhou has served two terms here, and now he is about to leave office. He is worried about where he will serve next. If Li Weijian, the God of Wealth, protects him, he will be able to rise to prominence smoothly!

If you make friends with Li Weijian, even if you don't need it now, why can't you say that you will need it in the future? Yangzhou is as prosperous as Suzhou, and it is also a place where canals meet. It is not too much to start a cement business, right?

So when he learned that Li Weijian was here, the governor was happy for a while, and then felt sad again. If it were an ordinary official passing by, he would just give some Cheng Yi as a gift. But if Li Weijian was not short of money, how could he value the eighteen hundred silver coins?

If I don’t give money as a farewell, I don’t know what they like. Just now, Qu Zong said that he had just made a suggestion, saying that Li Weijian was young. This young man might not be greedy for money, but he was not a lustful person. The prince of the palace was greatly moved, and was thinking of sending a singer as a gift, when Li Weijian's men came to the door.

Did Lin Cang and Lin Yu offend Li Weijian? It's a good thing to offend me. I couldn't find any chance to sell it in a hurry, so I sent these two live treasures to Fu Zun.

When Qu Zong said this, he immediately said solemnly: "I, Qu, am ashamed to be associated with such unkind and unjust people! Brother Wu will go back and tell Mr. Li that the royal family must give an explanation to Mr. Li for this matter!"

Wu Haining pretended to say: "This...will it trouble Mr. Fu Zun too much?"

"Where are the words? It's just a trivial matter, and even if you don't need the governor to say something, I'll write a handwritten letter, and these two people won't be able to stay in Yangzhou City for a day!"

"Hey, my master must have calmed down now. Mr. Qu is so capable, and his future is limitless."

Na Quzong said jokingly: "At such a young age, I am traveling all over the world with Mr. Li. I have a bright future."

The two looked at each other and laughed, and Wu Haining said: "In this case, I will tell my master when I get back next time. If I am not available today, I will pay a visit tomorrow."

"It's easy to talk about."

............................................................

The inner residence of the Salt Division.

Li Weijian followed Aunt Sun inside and first smelled the strong smell of borneol, and then smelled the smell of saltpeter and decoction.

There was a person sitting on the bed, with a haggard figure and a sallow complexion. Li Weijian took a closer look before he recognized Lin Ruhai, and his heart immediately tightened!

Lin Ruhai visited him twice before entering the capital. How could he not expect that Lin Ruhai would be helpful to him? However, after just a year, this was the case when he met him again.

Lin Ruhai seemed to be in great pain, and forced a smile on his face. He shook Daiyu's hand, turned his head and said, "I don't mind. Yu'er will sit aside for now. I'll have a few words with Fusheng."

"Yes." Daiyu frowned and sat down on a stool nearby.

Another maid brought a stool, and Li Weijian stepped forward and handed it over: "Yan Si, how could this happen?"

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly: "Time is also fate... Doctor Xu said that I injured my kidney when I was young, and I just found out the disease, but now it is hard to get back."

Although Lin Ruhai turned his head to speak, Li Weijian still smelled the strong smell of urine, which naturally came from Lin Ruhai's mouth.

Li Weijian II was a man of some knowledge, and after a brief thought, he knew that Lin Ruhai was finished! This is uremia!

Not to mention now, even in his previous life, this was an incurable disease and could only be maintained by hemodialysis, otherwise he would have to have a kidney transplant.

In these days, even dialysis is not possible, let alone a kidney transplant.

"Shioji——"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "Last time I came back to life, I crawled along the pole, and called me uncle with a shy face. How come I'm out of sight now?"

"Uncle Lin, I have some knowledge of Qihuang's technique. I'm afraid my uncle's disease will need to be rested."

Lin Ruhai said: "Isn't it just resting now? I've put it on the list several times, but even the saints can't accept it. I'm afraid I will have no choice but to die in office."

"Daddy—"

Daiyu blocked her exit, but Lin Ruhai shook her head and said: "Life and death are fateful, how can ordinary people like us be spared? I will talk more now to avoid Yu'er being sentimental in the future."

When he said this, Daiyu's eyes suddenly turned red. Lin Ruhai sighed and looked at Aunt Sun: "Yu'er has also been tired for a long time. You take her down to put her away, and I will have a few words with Fu Sheng."

Aunt Sun agreed, comforted Daiyu, got up and left. Only Lin Ruhai and Li Weijian were left inside, and even the serving maids were sent far away.

Lin Ruhai, a queen in the family, was originally a noble queen. However, when it was passed down to his generation, the title was lost. Originally, the Lin family, like other nobles, was lost in the wheel of history.

But unexpectedly Lin Hai appeared in the big room! He studied hard since he was a child and became a scholar at the age of seventeen, a scholar at the age of twenty-one, and a Jinshi after marrying Jia Min.

After that, he was appreciated by the saints. He first worked as an editor for the Imperial Academy, then as a lecturer, then as a scholar in Jiangnan, and then as a censor of salt inspection. His career as an official has gone smoothly, and he can be said to have made rapid progress.

It was because of this fatal disease that he would be transferred to another governor in the future. More than ten years later, Xuan Ma would become the prime minister, and it would be normal for him to have a first-class official position.

However, now all these have become false, and he... is about to die.

When he was about to die, he realized that everything was in vain except his daughter Daiyu.

At dusk, thousands of stars appear, whales fall, and all things come into being.

There was no heir in the Lin family's big house, except for an orphan girl. Those relatives rushed forward one after another, trying to bite off the fattest piece of meat. Whether it was due to worldly sentiments or clan etiquette, Lin Ruhai knew that she could not save her family property, and could only save Jia Min's dowry.

If he adds more here and there, he can't make his daughter suffer. Who should entrust Yu'er to? Lin Ruhai tossed and turned, still undecided.

The Jia family has shown signs of decline, but Jia Mu can still maintain it a little bit with Jia Mu's presence; as long as Jia Mu dies, even if the saint does not take action, the Rongguo Mansion will fall apart; the Lin family has no successors, and they have just relied on Lin Ruhai these years. Prestige lives.

After his death, the Lin family may decline even faster than the Rongguo Mansion!

Thinking about it this way, it seems that entrusting it to Rongguo Mansion is the best choice. Daiyu once said that Jia Mu was very good to her granddaughter. Lin Ruhai asked carefully about the cost of food and clothing, and Daiyu told her everything. Lin Ruhai could not find anything wrong, but Lin Ruhai felt that her daughter had something to hide.

It happened that Li Fusheng had stayed in Rongguo Mansion for more than half a year, so he was expected to know the inside story best. Because it was Lin Ruhai who dismissed the others, leaving Li Weijian alone to speak.

Li Weijian thought to himself and said: "Uncle Lin, the method of voting salt——"

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with me anymore. Whether it is Yinyan or Piaoyan, it has nothing to do with me. After resurrection, I am only worried about Yu'er now."

Li Weijian nodded and said: "My uncle is right. Although I can't do much, if something happens to my sister, I will do my best -"

"Resurrection," Lin Ruhai interrupted: "How is Yu'er's life in Rongguo Mansion?"

"what?"

Lin Ruhai stared at Li Weijian and said, "I asked Yu'er, and she only said everything was fine; I asked Xueyan, but she was evasive. I'm going to die, so please tell me the truth!"

While talking, Lin Ruhai actually raised her hand towards Li Weijian!

How could Li Weijian dare to accept it? He hurriedly stood up to avoid it: "Uncle, don't worry, every word of what I said is definitely true. If there is any lies, I am willing to be killed by thunder!"

"Okay, okay, come back and sit down quickly."

Li Weijian slowly sat down and said thoughtfully: "Uncle, Sister Lin is in Rongguo Mansion, so she has very good food and clothing expenses."

"Where's the one next to it?"

Li Weijian smiled bitterly and said: "After all, if you are not your own family and you are living under someone else's roof, how can you not be offended? Baoyu is pampered by the old lady and his wife, and he is the most unscrupulous. Although he is on good terms with Sister Lin on weekdays, he loses his temper... Hmm , maybe it’s because I’m still young right now, and I’ll be fine if I stay there for a few years.”

Lin Ruhai suddenly frowned. Jia Lian escorted Daiyu to Yangzhou and presented a letter written by Jia's mother. The words inside seem to be intended to bring Baoyu and Daiyu together. It is said that Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth, and he is extremely beautiful, but no one has ever talked about Baoyu's temperament.

The Li Weijian in front of him was young and mature, and he never told lies. Moreover, if he asked Yu'er at this time, he would know the truth and lie. There was no need for Li Weijian to lie. From this point of view, this matter is probably true.

Then Li Weijian said again: "Because Baoyu always had quarrels with Sister Lin, and one time she even threw the psychic Baoyu, this lady didn't like to see Sister Lin."

"Is there anything else going on?"

Lin Ruhai's frown deepened! If Daiyu marries Baoyu, then Mrs. Wang will be the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law does not want to see her daughter-in-law, and her own daughter is a sharp-minded girl. She is afraid that she will shed tears all day long!

From this point of view, this marriage is probably inappropriate.

After thinking for a while, Lin Ruhai said again: "Let's not talk about the temperament of this gem. The resurrection is based on the truth."

"Yes, Baoyu has some dandy habits, which is normal. Maybe he has been protected by the old lady and his wife since he was a child. Whenever he gets into trouble, someone else will take care of him. Over time, this temper will become -"

Just what? I'm afraid I don't even have the slightest sense of responsibility!

Li Weijian lowered his voice and said: "Last year, Baoyu was playing in the water with the maid, and the old lady got angry and kicked the maid named Bihen out. Baoyu made a scene, but was frightened by his wife and forgot about it in a blink of an eye. A few months later, I accidentally learned that Bihen had a home and could not go back, so he had to go to the pickling place with the door ajar to make a living."

Lin Ruhai sighed and shook his head: "I'm afraid he is not a husband with such a temperament!"
