dream of red mansion

"Ignore it!"

"it is good."

Jia Lian gave Jia Qing a complicated look, and took Lin Zhong and others down to do some business.

At this time Daiyu said to Jia Qing: "I don't care about those, why bother to take them back?"

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Little heartless, I'm helping you earn money, and you're blaming me instead?"

Daiyu blushed, "It's no use taking them all back. Why do I need so much money? I don't want those elders to blame me!"

"Hehe, my sister is a noble and clean person, don't you know that money is the most deceptive thing.

If these things are left behind, which of those people from each house and household will not be envious?Make trouble in vain!

We might as well take them all away and get rid of their thoughts. Wouldn't everyone be safe?

What's more, my sister's family used to be the heirloom of Liehou, and the family's sacrifice land was seven or eight thousand mu.It is not difficult for these sacrificial fields to produce one or two thousand taels of silver every year, which is enough for their inherited family to live in prosperity.

If some of their heirs are promising in the future, we will help them to reappear the glory of the Lin family ancestors.If it doesn't work, just be a wealthy squire in Suzhou, which is not a good result. "

The clan sacrificed the land, not to mention that the family members could not sell it.Even if the children and grandchildren committed crimes, confiscated property and confiscated it, sacrificed fields and other things, they were not allowed to enter the government.

Jia Qing only left these things to the Lin family, so they naturally lost their mind.

Originally, these things belonged to Daiyu.Whether to stay or not is entirely up to Daiyu's personal wish, and she doesn't allow others to comment.

"Hmph, since you're so good at talking, it's up to you." Daiyu was not close to the people in the next room of the Lin family, so naturally she would not argue with Jia Qing on this matter.

Jia Qing laughed and said: "Little rich woman, don't be a good boy for taking advantage of it!"

"Bah, that's really ugly!" Daiyu acted ruthlessly, coming up to scratch Jia Qing, and said: "Who in the capital doesn't know that your second master of the Ningguo Mansion is a famous God of Wealth, in your big... .. In front of the rich man, what does our Lin family's property count for?"

Daiyu grabs Jia Qing's cheek, intending to scare her.The strength of the hands is no different from a massage.

How could Jia Qing be afraid of her, so he hugged her hard, and said with a smile: "Well, well, our old lady's family is just right, a natural couple?"

"Pfft~" Zijuan came up to refill tea, and burst out laughing when he heard this, the teapot in his hand was almost unsteady.

Jia Qing looked at her dissatisfied until she retreated knowingly.

Daiyu's complexion became hot, and she threw herself into Jia Qing's arms, not daring to see anyone.

But she wasn't flustered.

In the past, she didn't dare to get too close to Jia Qing, but now that her marriage with Jia Qing has been settled, she is not afraid of anything anymore!

Jia Qinghe didn't know what she was thinking. He loved this person so much in his heart. After holding her and feeling tender for a while, he patted her on the back and said, "Let's go, it's time to go to the ancestral hall. In three days, it will be enough After counting seven or seven, it is time for the adoptive father to be buried in peace."

"Well, it's all up to you." Daiyu said.

She is a bit lazy...

......

Jia Qing and the officials of the Ministry of Rites have agreed on the place of Lin Ruhai's burial, which is on the Lin family's ancestral grave outside the city.

There, like Jia's ancestral tomb, was guarded.However, unlike the Jia family who built a special family temple, the Lin family's ancestral grave did not have such a big fanfare. There were only two old servants guarding it, and they received some silver rice from the Lin family every year.

Jia Qing felt something was wrong when she saw it.Lin Ruhai's current status is Fu Guogong, which is not worse than that of his predecessors.His burial place should not be so bleak.

So Jia Qing ordered people to hinder Jia's ancestral temple, build a Taoist temple outside, and worship incense.

This amount of money is insignificant to both Jia Qing and Daiyu.

There is no need to go into details about these trivial matters, only that Lin Ruhai was buried three days later, and the entire city of Suzhou, not only the send-off team presided over by the Ministry of Rites and members of the Lin family clan, but also the civil and military officials in the city, no matter how big or small, all rushed to send the spirit.

In addition to the servants and entourages of the various prefectures, there were two to three thousand people, and they lined up for a mile and a half, blocking the most spacious market in Suzhou City.

Suddenly, it became the most eye-catching event in Suzhou City.

The people in the city all know that the Lin family has produced another remarkable person, who is the Duke of Fuguo.

However, after all, people die.

Such a grand occasion only lasted for two or three days, and then it gradually dissipated.

Three days later, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who had completed their tasks also turned back to Beijing.

This matter also came to an end.Only some people occasionally talked about the grand occasion of the day after dinner.

In another three days, Jia Qing and others prepared all their luggage, vehicles and boats, and prepared to return to Beijing.

In the front hall of Lin's main residence, Jia Qing listened to Lin Zhong's report.

"Second Lord, all the properties, farms, shops, etc. in the family have been counted now, and the gaps are not big. It's just that the antiques, utensils, etc. in this house are quite different.

I heard that these things were either stolen and sold by the servants of the family when the master was not at home these years, or the uncles and aunts in each house went along. "

Jia Qing frowned, but he was not surprised.

Lin Ruhai has been an official in Beijing for so many years, and there is no serious person in charge of his family, so it is strange that such a situation does not happen.

"How much is the difference?"

"A lot, there are tens of thousands of taels of vacancies."

Jia Qing thought for a while and asked, "My second elder brother Lian, is he fishing in troubled waters?"

"This......"

Lin Zhong was a little embarrassed.

Although Jia Qing has a father-son relationship with Lin Ruhai, he is also Daiyu's future husband.However, it was not the Lin family, but Jia Lian, who belonged to their family.

He will also be arranged to come to Beijing to represent Daiyu's property in the future.It would be bad if Jia Lian was offended.

Jia Qing said: "It's okay, you just say it. I still know the temper of my second brother Lian, and he is not tricky. Besides, you will still be Sister Lin's housekeeper in the future, so you have nothing to do with him."

Lin Zhong then said: "Speaking of the second master Lian, he is not greedy for profit. During these days, helping to deal with the family's property matters can be regarded as doing his best.

But if it is said that he has never touched his hands, the second master might not believe it.I think the second master asked me the same meaning, to see if he has acted excessively.

I can tell the second master about this point. The second master Lian has kickbacks to get benefits and cover up the situation for others, but it is a small amount.For example, those big farms at home, well-located shops, and high-end houses, etc., are not dared to move.

These things are all on the property list. If the second master is afraid that I will stand in the middle and speak well for the second master Lian, just ask someone to use these lists to confront the couple. "

Jia Qing nodded.This situation is also in his expectation.
