The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Upon receiving the news that Jia's family was confiscated, Lin Jue was taken aback for a moment. It wasn't that he was surprised that Jia's family was confiscated, but he really didn't expect it to be so fast.

"How are the rest of the Jia family arranged?"

"The second girl in that mansion and the eldest girl of our family have gone there. The eldest girl originally wanted to take the old lady to Xie's mansion, but she was resigned by the old lady. She cried a lot and left some money to go back. Listening to what they said, the eldest lady wanted to go back with the second girl, but the old lady refused, and now the whole family has rented a second courtyard in the east alley." Qingsong replied.

Lin Jue nodded and told Qingsong, "Go and send 500 taels of silver over there, and say that I honor the old lady."

Qingsong hurriedly agreed.

After Qingsong went down, Li Yibai said, "You don't need to pay attention to those over there."

"It's in-laws after all, but it's only 500 taels of silver. I don't pay attention to it." Lin Jue said nonchalantly, "I didn't expect that Wang Ziteng would ignore the mansion's request for help. When the master passed by, he was sent away by the concierge directly."

When Lin Jue talked about this matter, he felt rather gloating.

Li Yibai shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "You don't know yet, Wang Ziteng has already invited an imperial doctor to take care of his girl's body, saying that something bad has been eaten, which hinders her son."

Lin Jue smiled coldly, "I didn't expect that Mrs. Wang would be so vicious. After all, she is my own niece, and Wang Xifeng has always followed her orders, so I didn't expect to end up like this. This is my real aunt. It's true, look at Xue Baochai, she is also the niece of a direct relative, isn't she just a concubine? This Mrs. Wang is just a little tricky."

"This is because of Wang Ziteng's backing, and she doesn't even think about it. If it weren't for Wang Xifeng at Jia's house, Wang Ziteng's treatment of Jia's house would be limited. How can a younger sister have a daughter, and Mrs. Wang can be regarded as throwing a stone at herself. It’s gone.” Li Yibai said, and coaxed Lin Jue, “Since my sister has been there, we have done our best, don’t think about the bad family, you are just doing it yourself.”

Lin Jue glanced at him, and said with a fake smile: "Did you contribute a lot in this?"

Li Yibai chuckled, "It's just that Jia Baoyu's reputation was changed, and his fame was also donated."

"I don't blame you. I remember that Mrs. Wang still has a usury thing, but I don't know, does Dali Temple know about it?"

"..."

Jia family.

"I'm not dead yet, why, old man, is this going to separate the family?" Jiamu, who was wearing a blue thick shirt, slammed her fist on the bed.

Mrs. Xing has always been afraid of Jiamu, but now seeing Jiamu angry, she can't help being afraid. "Old lady, daughter-in-law doesn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?" Mrs. Wang said sharply. Now that her daughter is dead, her husband has been assigned, her son has become white, and even her natal family ignores her.

Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang disapprovingly, but instead of reprimanding her, she glared angrily at Mrs. Xing who was kneeling on the ground.

Originally, Mother Jia scolded Mrs. Xing for being next to her, but now hearing the second wife's question, she couldn't help but feel angry, "We are the big house, since we should take care of the family affairs, we are also sharing the old lady's worries. What do you mean by obstructing me in every possible way? Are you still planning to steal this position? Our master is exiled, but Lian'er is still there, so he is the master of the house, and it is not yet Baoyu's turn! "

"You..." Mrs. Wang has always been good at some shady tricks, but now she is not her strong point when she comes here with a bright gun, and she is blocked speechless.

"That's enough, don't say a few words." As soon as Jia Mu said, the two of them dared not say any more.

Mother Jia sighed, exhausted both physically and mentally, "Master, you know the current situation at home. Although our women have not moved their bodies, it took more than half of the time to take care of the boss and the second child these days. And It is the village shop in the clan, which are all belongings of the clan. Now that the position of the patriarch has changed, these must be handed back to the clan. The 500 taels of silver bills that Lin Jue just sent over are said to be filial to me, but seeing the hardships at home, they are all counted as public affairs."

Mother Jia sighed again as she spoke, Li Wan called "Old Madam" softly, Mother Jia waved her hand, and continued: "At home...it's not like it used to be, but..." Mother Jia paused, and then continued. He said sharply, "But I'm still here, and the Jia family is still here, so I can't allow others to act recklessly."

Mrs. Xing couldn't help shaking like chaff when she heard the words, but Jia's mother stopped talking, and instead told Jia Lian, "Go and call your uncle, and say that he needs to be a witness for the separation of the family."

Jia Lian exclaimed "Old lady" when she heard the words, and Jia's mother said coldly, "Go!"

Jia Lian turned his head to look at Mrs. Xing who was shocked but couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, cursed secretly as a "stupid woman", and had no choice but to go out and invite Jia Dairu to come.

The Jia family started from Jia Yuan and Jia Yan, and the side branches were only attached later, so the position of the head of the Jia family has always been inherited by the direct branch of the Jia family.Now that Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion have accidents one after another, the other offshoots of the Jia family inevitably have their thoughts. In addition, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and was exiled, and Jia Lian was implicated and lost his official position. It is difficult for the direct line to protect the position of patriarch.So for the time being, Jia Dairu, who has no children and no daughters, will take his place.

In the past, when the family was divided, the patriarch had to come to testify, which also avoided trouble in the future.Although Jia Dairu took over as the patriarch temporarily, no one actually took him seriously, and it was only because he had no descendants that he was asked to take over as a temporary substitute.Now that the Jia family is splitting up, there must always be a witness from the family.

Jia Dairu came in a hurry. Jia's mother invited people to the courtyard, and all the female relatives hid in the house. "Lian'er, Baoyu, and Lan'er stay here." Mother Jia looked at Jia Huan who was shrinking behind Baoyu, her eyes grew colder.

Jia Huan noticed Jia Mu's expression, and his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly followed the crowd in.

Jia's mother told Jia Dairu about the family situation again, and Jia Dairu nodded, "Then how do you divide the family?"

Jia's mother didn't expect Jia Dairu's advice, and she didn't need Jia Dairu's advice, so she said, "their women's dowry should belong to themselves, and the money in the public is only so much. They each occupy one side, but Lan'er is grown up now, and it takes a lot of money to test for merit, and it's not easy for your sister-in-law to stay at home these years, so I decided to divide it into three, Lian'er and Baoyu, what do you think?"

"Listen to the old lady." All three agreed.

In fact, the long house will suffer from such a division, but Jia Lian doesn't care about these things at all now.It doesn't matter if the long house and the second house are torn apart, he still has some small business outside, which he bought for the concubine's private house at the beginning, and the land deeds are all in the name of the concubine's house, but now he has saved it.It was not in vain that after reconciling with Wang Xifeng, he tried his best to straighten him, otherwise the concubine's house would be confiscated after the house was confiscated, and the property would also be confiscated.

The long house and the second house are separated, without the participation of women, it is also very happy.After Jia's mother settled everything, she said weakly: "Since the family has been divided, you can settle down separately."

Jia Lian said: "Is the old lady renting another house with our long house, or..."

"Where Baoyu is, I will be there."

Jia Lian kowtowed to Jia's mother again, and rented another house the next day, and moved out with Mrs. Xing, his wife and children.After they moved out, the originally crowded house became more relaxed, and Mrs. Wang also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Jue and Jia Lian already had friendship, and Jia Lian's current wife was more or less involved with the Lin family. Hearing that Jia Lian moved to a new house, he wanted to congratulate her.Jia Lian has money, so he doesn't need to rent a house like the second room, but buys a second house by himself, which falls under his wife's name, so that the second room will not have to be messed up again.

With the current situation of the Jia family, even if they moved to a new house, they couldn't congratulate them, but they had to inform a few relatives.Although Jia Lian didn't serve wine, several families also had to prepare some gifts to send.

Jia Lian also made a special trip to the Lin Mansion. Lin Jue congratulated Jia Lian in a good way. Jia Lian didn't hide it in front of Lin Jue, and said bluntly: "It's better to break up with the second room early. I'll be outside in front of you." I set up a shop by myself and kept it in Neizi's hands, but now I have saved it. It's just good, if I'm still with Erfang, I'm afraid it will all fall into Baoyu's hands in the end, wouldn't it be a waste of time. I'm now He also has a son, and he managed to save some family money, so why not make it easier for outsiders?"

Lin Jue said with a smile: "It's Lian's second cousin who understands, finally cousin can get what he wants, so Jue will congratulate cousin first with tea instead of wine!"

Jia Lian hurriedly picked up the teacup, clinked with Lin Jue in the air, and drank the tea in the cup with a smile.

The separation of the Jia family's first house and the second house is just a trivial matter, and the unpredictable situation in Beijing can no longer cause the slightest disturbance.However, after the Jia family was confiscated, as if a signal, several families in Beijing were confiscated one after another, but they were all small families, but they caused panic.Especially for some big families that have been around for many years, it is not an exaggeration to say "be a man with your tail between your legs".

Unlike other people who were nervous, Lin Jue became more relaxed here.Originally, Lin Jue did an errand in Ningguo Mansion, not to mention how beautiful it was, at least he took what should have been taken, but he hadn’t moved a penny for what shouldn’t have been taken. His Majesty the Emperor expressed his satisfaction.This time it was the Rongguo Mansion's turn. Although the Lin family and the Jia family were related by marriage, it was well known that Lin Jia did not get along with each other. The emperor naturally believed that Lin Jue would not show favoritism, so he planned to ask him to come over to handle this matter.But this matter was pushed by Li Yibai in the end. It's a joke. If Lin Jue really led people to copy the Rongguo Mansion, his reputation would be over.So now Lin Jue claims to be sick and resting at home.

Throwing away Li Yibai's hand on his waist, Lin Jue yawned lazily, and a drop of physiological tears slowly flowed from the corner of his eyes, "I heard that the Wang family is going to marry Princess Anning and the Jiang family?"

Li Yibai looked satisfied, "He said he was sick at home, but the news is still so well informed."

Lin Jue was also helpless, since Mr. Ren knew about the relationship between the two, he came here often.It's not that he has to have something to do, he just drinks tea in his free time, but a person of such an advanced age is a rare gossip person, and the owner's family is short, he really loses his status as a great Confucian!

"The crown prince has already been established, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty. Wang Ziteng is such a smart person, why shouldn't he tie himself to the fourth prince's boat at this time?"

Li Yibai shook his head, "Wang Ziteng is a rare smart person, but unfortunately, there is often a saying that is 'intelligent is misunderstood by cleverness', he only sees that the current prince has always been kind, and he will treat brothers kindly. Unable to rely on him, he sent his ideas to the fourth child. But he didn’t know that the fourth child was always a smiling fox, although every day seemed to be immersed in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, ignoring the government, but he didn’t know that he was much more sinister than the sixth child. .”

"Fourth prince?" Lin Jue was not familiar with the princes, but he had been in contact with them all, but he didn't see anything wrong with this gentle and elegant fourth prince.

Li Yibai whispered a few words in Lin Jue's ear, and Lin Jue opened his eyes in surprise, "Really?"

Li Yibai followed his example and widened his eyes, "Your husband can still lie to you?"

Lin Jue was so angry that he directly punched him and gave him a few hard blows.
