Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 486: Mrs. Wang is upset about Jia Baoyu's actions

After Jia Lian finished speaking, Jia Huan seemed not to understand what he said, and still spoke with envy and shock.

"Five or six hundred thousand taels is not a small amount. And you also said that this is Sister Lin's dowry. With this five or six hundred thousand taels of dowry, she won't have to worry about her future. And she grew up in our Rongguo Mansion, so she will definitely have a high future. In the future, I have to please Sister Lin. I'm afraid I can get her help in the future."

After he said this, Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, laughed and scolded him for being useless, then told everyone to leave quickly. At the same time, he was also certain in his heart that this kid Jia Huan knew nothing at all.

The reason why he said these words was entirely because he valued money and wanted to please Sister Lin. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little annoyed. He didn't know who sent this kid here. If it weren't for him, who would know who came back this time? Who would know that these 300 boxes were Lin Daiyu's property, not his household decorations?

Unfortunately, everything has become a foregone conclusion now. It is useless for him to say anything. He can only go back and ask again. However, after he goes back and asks, he is afraid that he will not be able to do anything. After all, it was Mrs. Wang who did this. What can he do to Mrs. Wang?

And everything happened just as the family had expected. When they returned, Mrs. Wang heard Jia Lian's story and knew what Jia Huan had said, and she became even more furious.

"This bastard, what did I ask him to do? He actually said nonsense. Does he know how much his words will cost our Rongguo Mansion?"

"Do you know how much he has caused me to lose? Right now, the construction of the Grand View Garden is in urgent need of money. All the money of the Lin family would have been enough to build the Grand View Garden. But now, he has caused a loss of 50 taels, and there is a gap of another or taels. Where can I get this money?"

"Mr. Zhou Rui, you go and have them move all the 300 boxes into the big warehouse first. Then after a few days, you can arrange for people to move all the boxes away."

"But since it's already known to outsiders, we can't be too blatant. After moving the things away, put some commonly used items in there, the low-value ones to make up 300 or taels, and put them in boxes. This way, even if someone uses this matter to make trouble, we will have an easy explanation."

Zhou Ruijia quickly and excitedly agreed, because he understood that there would be benefits to doing this.

At the same time, if all the money was used to build the Grand View Garden, he and Zhou Rui would certainly be able to take a large portion of it to make their fortunes even richer.

So he hurried out to supervise the work. After Jia Huan came back, Mrs. Wang, who originally wanted to go back directly, had no time to pay attention to him at this time. However, because Lin Daiyu had returned, all the younger generations of the Jia family had to gather together to hold a welcoming banquet for Lin Daiyu.

Even if Lin Daiyu didn't care, he had to do it because it was an invitation from his sisters and brothers.

Besides, there is Jia Baoyu jumping around, and if this matter is to be made happen, neither Lady Jia nor Mrs. Wang can refuse, and they can only let them do it themselves.

It just so happened that these were the people that Lin Daiyu brought back with her, and there were more people. After all, several members of the Lin family also followed. At this time, the old lady could not do this, as Lin Daiyu had to live in the green gauze cabinet. She could only let Lin Daiyu live in the courtyard prepared in advance.

Therefore, the welcoming banquet was planned to be held in this courtyard. Jia Huan was of the same generation as the generous Jia Cong, so he was also invited.

Although Jia Huan didn't care, since he was invited, it would be unreasonable for him not to go.

However, when it was over, something unexpected happened to him. It turned out that Lin Daiyu had remembered what he said about currying favor with her. After he passed away, Lin Daiyu actually asked someone to give him 100 taels of silver.

Before Jia Huan could understand what was going on, Xueyan spoke directly to him.

"Our girl said that since you want to curry favor with him, then do something for him. It's not easy for the girl to leave Rongguo Mansion, and there are some things he can't do, so we hope you can use this money to buy some things for the sacrifice, and the rest of the money will be yours."

Jia Huan did not hear the system prompt, so he was sure that Lin Daiyu did this without any malicious intent. She probably just wanted him to help her, or to take care of herself.

No matter what his purpose was, this was Lin Daiyu's kindness to him, so he did not refuse. He took the money and left. Anyway, the meal was over, so there was no need for him to stay.

But just as he reached the door, he was stopped by Jia Baoyu.

"Huan Lao San, do you have any manners? We are preparing a welcoming banquet for Sister Lin. Although we have finished eating, the banquet is not over yet. How can you leave now?"

"Do you know? We have to write a poem for each of the Lin sisters later! You are not running away early because you can't write a poem, are you?"

Jia Huan didn't expect that Jia Baoyu was actually waiting for him here. Everyone knew that he was not good at facts and could not get along with them at all.

Moreover, he knew the history of this world. There was no change in this world before the Ming Dynasty, but changes occurred in the late Ming Dynasty. Before Li Zicheng had a road to the capital, a force suddenly emerged and rose up in the south of the Yangtze River.

He established the current trend, but all the culture before the Ming Dynasty was the same as he remembered, so he had no advantage at all.

He searched his memory for a moment, and the only few poems he remembered were incomplete. There were only a few that he could remember completely, so it would be of no benefit to him to bring out these facts.

Instead of showing off these facts, it is better to simply pretend that you don’t understand poetry.

So after Jia Baoyu finished speaking, he just waved his hand and said.

"Second Brother Bao, please don't come to me about this matter. You know I can't write poetry at all. If you ask me to write a poem for Sister Lin, I don't know how to write it."

He even wanted to say directly, you really don't consider Lin Daiyu's thoughts. Her father just passed away after a long journey, and you not only organized a welcoming banquet, but also held a poetry meeting after the banquet. You really don't consider other people's feelings.

But he knew very well that even if he said this, the matter would not change, and it might even get worse. Rather than that, it would be better not to say anything, but he was thinking of retreating, but Jia Baoyu was not ready to let him retreat.
