Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 274 It’s not easy (please subscribe)

Lin Daiyu didn't have much resistance to getting engaged to Jia Huan.

Thanks to more than a year of communication, Lin Daiyu is no longer a completely artistic girl at this time, but has more or less the temperament of an engineering master.

After all, the effect of the dozen or so large sand tables in the Lin family's home is still very obvious.

Lin Daiyu is full of interest in the renovation and management of the farm.

During the correspondence, relevant information was frequently discussed. Wouldn’t there be a common language?

It was also in this situation of communication that Lin Daiyu's attitude towards Jia Huan gradually changed.

One thing I have to admit is that Lin Daiyu made a mistake.

Jia Huan is indeed not outstanding in literature, but he is absolutely powerful in handling practical matters.

There are a total of fourteen farms in Ningrong's second mansion, all of which are prosperously managed by Jia Huan.

Not only does the annual grain output increase steadily, but the living standard of the tenants on the farm is also the best among the many surrounding farms.

What amazed Lin Daiyu the most was Jia Huan's full use of the water power in the farm.

Waterwheels, water mills, etc. are all available in the farm!

Lin Daiyu was very curious about Jia Huan's method of using water power, and also participated in the exploration.

This is definitely a very novel world for Lin Daiyu!

By making full use of the water power in the farm and building various workshops that combined water power and manpower, the output on the farm suddenly became richer.

What was originally a single sale of grain has turned into a sale of various primary processed commodities!

Although Jia Huan did not elaborate on the profits, Lin Daiyu could still get a general idea.

After all, the Lin family also owns a farm, and she is very clear about the prices of materials in the outside world.

This is due to Jia Huan’s reminder in his letter!

Lin Daiyu just did a small experiment and immediately found some rats in the house.

When she found out that the palace suffered the most serious losses in this area, she felt relieved.

With Jia Huan's letter and guidance, Lin Daiyu also tried to transform the Lin family farm along with her.

The effect is quite obvious. There are not many clues in the grain production of several of the Lin family's renovated farms, but the harvest from the sideline business has increased dramatically.

It was also during this exchange that Lin Daiyu recognized Jia Huan's strength.

Not only his outstanding abilities, but also his strong financial resources!

Just from the output of Ningrong's second farm, Jia Huan's annual income will not be less than 30,000 taels!

This is not a small amount!

Take the Lin family's farm for comparison. A farm can earn two to three thousand taels of silver a year, which is quite good. It can only be said that the income is stable and it is impossible to make big money.

Fortunately, it was at home. If Jia Baoyu knew that Lin Daiyu had spent so much time studying and pondering economic matters, she would probably be very sad for a while!

Of course, at this time, Lin Daiyu would definitely not feel that Jia Baoyu was not interested in economic career, as in the original work of Red Mansions, and was quite a gentleman.

Her mentality has undergone considerable changes since taking charge of the Lin family's affairs.

The important reason why Lin Daiyu changed so much was that after she discovered the housekeeper, no matter what she did, it had to be tied to money, otherwise it would be impossible to accomplish anything.

Since having this understanding, she has understood a lot of truth!

Why, when she was in Rong Mansion, why did Sister-in-law Lian attach so much importance to the authority of the housekeeper!

With stewardship, you will have enough money at your disposal to do many things.

But once there is no money in the hand, with the urination of the Rongfu family, who will care whether you are the so-called master or not, and you still don't give face when you should.

No wonder the Sanchun sisters had a hard time in Rongfu!

They don't have enough money in their hands, so how can the children of the families below give them face?

Before, when she heard that Jia Huan and Wang Xifeng were cooperating in the sewing business of the maids and women in the Rong Mansion, Lin Daiyu thought that Jia Huan must have lost sight of money, and said with some disdain in her heart.

But for some reason, the maids and wives in the mansion were very polite to Jia Huan and Wang Xifeng, and almost no rumors that were originally detrimental to them were spread.

Now I fully understand that what Jia Huan and Wang Xifeng have done is definitely a major benefit to the maids and wives of Rong Mansion.

In that mansion, only when you have money can you have the confidence to speak and live a better life!

Isn't the situation the same here in the Lin family?

After Lin Daiyu became the housekeeper, she naturally had a very deep and thorough understanding of many things in the Lin family.

Although the Lin family has a good family tradition and has strict management of their children and servants, and there is no obvious snobbish behavior, in fact, how can there not be various problems in private?

The Rong family has many problems with having children, but the Lin family has as many children as servants!

At the beginning, I was very angry. I felt that the Lin family should not be like this and should be better.

But over time, after understanding the good and evil of human nature, I slowly let go of my unhappiness and dissatisfaction.

It is quite difficult to be generally fair.

If she wants to do better, Lin Daiyu must put in more energy, and the personal conduct and abilities of the Lin family's children and servants must also reach a certain level.

Such a situation, according to what Jia Huan said in his letter, is unlikely to come true!

Unless the Lin family is in a prosperous state, all the family's children and servants are high-spirited, and coupled with large-scale investment in education, it is possible to barely reach a certain level.

Even the imperial court could not achieve that situation, even in the prosperous times!

What surprised Lin Daiyu was that in the process of exchanging letters with Jia Huan, as well as sending servants of the Lin family from time to time to personally go to the farm of Ning Rong's second house to check the situation, she discovered a fact that was difficult for her to accept.

The Ning Rong Erfu Farm under the management of Jia Huan does have some traces of that ideal state.

In any case, after more than a year of exchanging letters, Lin Daiyu recognized Jia Huan's abilities and had a better impression of him.

This time, her father, Lin Ruhai, had a showdown with her, and he didn't feel much emotion in his heart.

It is impossible to say that there is no regret at all!

Sometimes I dream back at midnight, and I dream about those happy days when I lived temporarily in Rongfu.

It's a pity that time has passed and she has completely grown up, but Jia Baoyu is still a child at heart.

How could Lin Daiyu not know her grandmother's thoughts?

It's just a pity that Jia Baoyu didn't live up to expectations!

Not to mention that her father would not agree, she herself would not agree either. Even the personal maid Zijuan, who was born in the Rong Mansion, felt that Jia Baoyu was unworthy and not a good match.

Sometimes I really can't understand why Jia Baoyu is in this situation?

I heard from my father that brothers Jia Huan and Jia Cong worked very hard outside in order to be able to easily establish themselves after leaving the house.

But Jia Baoyu clearly has excellent resources, but he is increasingly looked down upon.

Call him a playboy, but that's not the case in terms of character or temper.

But let's talk about his other advantages. Apart from his gentle and kind personality, it's hard to name any other advantages.

Lin Daiyu didn't think much about it. Anyway, the matter has reached the stage now. Her marriage should be settled and she can live a good life in the future!

Naturally, Jia Huan didn't know because Lin Daiyu had thought so much about the engagement.

In fact, at last year's hairpin banquet, Lin Ruhai wanted to finalize the matter, so as to avoid long nights and dreams, and unexpected events would have a great impact on Lin Daiyu's reputation.

It's just a pity that the old lady was present at the time, so some things can't be done forcefully, so we can only take it slow.

The situation in the court is currently in turmoil, and Lin Ruhai doesn't know when he will be transferred. Naturally, he has to rush to confirm Lin Daiyu's marriage.

As mentioned earlier, when a lady goes out, the etiquette is quite complicated. The betrothal gift process alone takes more than a year. By the time all the procedures were completed, Lin Daiyu would be almost eighteen years old.

This is also the reason why noble girls in the feudal imperial power era were given hairpins at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

Naturally, marrying a daughter from a big family cannot be so simple and casual. She really leaves the court at the age of fourteen.

Generally, after going through all the procedures, everyone's ladies are at least fifteen years old.

At this time, whether you are getting married or having children, your physical condition is quite good.

Jia Huan would be lying if he said he wasn't excited at all. After all, the person he was engaged to be engaged to was Lin Daiyu.

But it was impossible to say how excited he was. In his opinion, it was just a normal matter of marrying a wife and having children.

If he didn't know, the matter must be settled before he rises, otherwise there will definitely be trouble. He really doesn't want to settle it so early.

This year he is actually thirteen years old, but he is actually fifteen years old!

The rules here in Daqian are generally regarded as false!

He plans to hold back for another year and wait until next year to participate in the martial arts competition.

This time, if he doesn't get a martial arts champion, it will be his failure as a time traveler.

This year, I will finally give Brother Cong a helping hand so that he can successfully establish himself in the military and sort out his property and manpower.

If analyzed according to the plot of the original work of Red Mansion, the Daqian border area will be completely chaotic.

Not only the northern and northwest territories, but also the south and southeast are not peaceful.

By then, there will be no lack of environment for Jia Huan to perform!

His idea was to enrich his knowledge more deeply over the past year or so.

The only headache is that the improvement of Gold Finger has been extremely slow.

In particular, the aspect of breathing and exhalation that he valued most was stuck at 20% without moving at all.

This is not a good sign!

In other words, every time he breathes, the effect on the internal and external training of the body is only 20%.

Although his physical fitness at this time was already incredibly strong.

Whether it's strength, speed or other aspects, it has reached an exaggerated level.

If expressed in modern buzzwords, it has already entered the extraordinary sequence.

But Jia Huan's medical skills at this time and his research on golden fingers found that he still had a lot of potential for improvement, which was a bit depressing.

But what makes him helpless is that he only has so many resources, and it is impossible to find a better direction for reference. He can only ponder and research on his own, and the speed of improvement is naturally pitifully slow.

Before, I had placed my hope on Jia Jing, who was cultivating immortality outside the city, but it was a pity that this guy was of no use.

Apart from anything else, the alchemy books his Baba sent were of no use to Jia Huan at all.

Of course, Jia Huan had all the contents of these alchemy books in mind.

But he couldn't even master some of the core cultivation methods of other Dao channels.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy was of great use, Jia Huan would have really wanted to yell in front of him.

What kind of bullshit is this the first person in the literary generation? Is that all he has?

What made him most unhappy was that he had asked Mr. Jing to help him set up a meeting with the Taihuan Immortal from Qingxu Temple outside the city, but he failed to do so.

Jia Huan was not without suspicion, and even quietly went to Qingxu Temple to check and inquire.

He originally wanted to try his luck and see if he could directly collide with the guy from Qingxu Temple, but unfortunately he failed every time, which made him sure that this guy really had some abilities.

Otherwise, every time he comes to block people, why is this guy either in seclusion or going out and leaving the Taoist temple?

There is a police fantasy fairy girl in Taixu Illusion Realm, and a monk and Taoist duo. Jia Huan cannot guarantee what level the high-end power in the world of Red Mansions has reached?

If you can't find someone, and you can't find the core cultivation method of this world, then you can only slowly study the breathing method yourself.

At the very least, he wanted to see what level his physical fitness could eventually improve to.

Will there be all kinds of incredible supernatural powers from myths and legends?

While he continued to wait patiently, he also thought of some other methods.

In the end, I felt that it was better to be a high official and have the imperial court as an endorsement, so that it would be more convenient and simpler to collect cultivation resources.

Of course, with his current physical fitness and various combat skills he has mastered, he can definitely be called a battlefield killing machine at this time.

It is estimated that compared with the peerless warriors in ancient rumors, he may be even more powerful.

It was also because of this that he looked forward to his golden finger more, hoping to reach a higher level. No matter what, it was a good thing.

The next day happened to be a holiday, so Jia Huan took the initiative to go to Rong Mansion and met Mr. Zheng in the big study.

"Oh, has your Uncle Lin agreed?"

After hearing his purpose, Mr. Zheng Er showed a smile on his face and asked curiously: "Why is it so sudden? It doesn't look like Brother Ruhai's behavior!"

Jia Huan recounted Lin Ruhai's guesses and worries again, and finally said: "My uncle's worries are not unreasonable. It is also good to take precautions in advance!"

"I see!"

Mr. Zheng Er nodded and said, "I will take good care of this matter!"

This was regarded as agreeing to Jia Huan's request.

Jia Huan smiled and thanked, and then said casually: "Master, I think it's best not to let the old lady know about this, so as not to cause any unnecessary troubles!"

Mr. Zheng Er's face darkened, he thought about it and finally agreed.

He is not a fool. Why doesn't he know his mother's thoughts and ideas?

There is nothing wrong with wanting to bring Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu together. But now we don't even know what kind of reputation Jia Baoyu has, so it's strange that Lin Ruhai takes a fancy to him.

It was related to Lin Daiyu's future, and he didn't think Lin Ruhai would compromise.

Anyway, Jia Huan is also his son. Lin Daiyu will still be his daughter-in-law when she marries Jia Huan. In fact, it is no different from marrying Jia Baoyu. Only then did Master Zheng calmly agree.

Although it felt a little inappropriate to cover the old lady, I didn't want to ruin Jia Huan's good deeds.

The second master Zheng still knows some things about Jia Huan, and he really doesn't want to create a big gap between him and the family.

Although I don’t know when Jia Huan entered the officialdom, Mr. Zheng knows that this kid will definitely not stay still, and he may be able to help him when he enters the officialdom!
