New Dream of Red Mansions

Nanny Wang hated her so much, how could this be the time to say such things?The master attaches great importance to the rules, the girl has no mistakes in her manners when she is in the Lin family, and she is even more afraid of making mistakes when she arrives at the Rongguo Mansion... Miss Yan is a guest, the master can't do anything to her, but they are slaves...

Nanny Wang kowtowed.

Lin Ruhai looked at her indifferently, she even dared to hide it from him, what about the young Daiyu?

"What else is there besides that? Tell me what Miss Wang usually does with your girls, and everything you say."

Xueyan is still young and has a good memory, and she often waits on the side when the two girls are together, knowing more than Nanny Wang.

Now, although the master didn't say a word of reproach, his aura shocked her, and he said it like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.

In preparation for Daiyu's return to Lin's house, Wang Xiyan asked Chunlan and Xueyan to say something about Ningrong Second Mansion.

"...Miss Yan said that relying on others is worse than relying on herself. Like her father, before leaving, he handed over hundreds of thousands of family property to her uncle. It was meant to save money and eliminate disasters. Her father didn't think about them either. If I can get it back again, I just want to grow up safely, but who knows that they don't have the hearts of the people, and they are afraid that outsiders will say that the uncle is plotting to seize the nephew's property, so they think of a way to send Master You to the temple and lock Miss Yan in At home, when the time comes, people will live or die depending on what they say, and it will be justifiable for those properties to belong to the big house..."

"...Miss Yan also said that Ningguo's mansion is worse than Wang's, and Rongguo's mansion is also very chaotic. These are all caused by unworthy descendants. If there is no old lady suppressing it, I don't know what will happen. Let our girl Just concentrate on being the guest who lives here, if you don't want to do things in this mansion, you can't go wrong..."

"Master You is also studying in Jia's mansion with Brother Bao Yulan?" Lin Ruhai knew that it would no longer work to simply ask about the inner house. Wang Xiyan should be most concerned about Wang You, and it is always right to ask him.Before he knew it, Lin Ruhai had already begun to doubt what Wang Xiyan had done.

"Miss Yan is very strict with Master You. She can only play in the garden every day except for studying, and she is not allowed to go out with other young masters in the Jia family." Let's go out and play..."

In fact, Xiyan is much more tolerant towards Brother Yu than those poetry and book families who studied hard in the cold window. At least Xiyan gave Brother You enough rest and play time.

But with Baoyu as a comparison, Xueyan naturally felt that Wang Xiyan was too strict with Brother Yu. At least Baoyu didn’t have to get up to study in winter. Young Master You is several years younger than Second Master Bao, but every time Get up before dawn.

"...One time, Second Master Bao took Master You privately to Dongfu to play with Master Rong and Young Master Qiang. When Master You came back, Miss Yan locked him up. That time, Miss Yan ignored Second Master Bao for a full month. , and even our girls are dissatisfied with Second Master Bao..."

"What do the young masters of Rongning Second Mansion do on weekdays?"

"Of course I'm going to school." After all, Xue Yan is a girl in the inner house, and all she knows is hearsay. How can she know what the young masters outside are doing?But she knew what Baoyu was doing, so she had to tell Lin Ruhai what Baoyu usually did.

Lin Ruhai frowned slightly when he heard this. Although this nephew acted absurdly, he still had a childlike heart. It didn't sound too much. Moreover, Xue Yan also said that Wang Xiyan didn't stop Brother Yu from getting along with Bao Yulan, but only Do not want to communicate with other young masters of the Jia family, does that mean... How ridiculous is the Jia family now that a child despises it so much?

The veins on Lin Ruhai's forehead were throbbing. He hadn't been back to the capital for more than ten years. In the past two years, he had heard a lot of things about the Ningrong Second Mansion, but there were mixed opinions. Those dude's behavior, which one of the noble families in the capital? No?

But now based on what Wang Xiyan and Xueyan said, the Ningrong Second Mansion is probably rotten to the bone.

Lin Ruhai stabilized the fishy sweetness in his mouth, and asked, "Is there any more?"

Xueyan looked at the master timidly, and continued pouring beans from the bamboo tube...

Xue Yan said what should be said and what should not be said, and Lin Ruhai has heard what should be heard and what should not be heard.

Lin Ruhai's face sank like water, and he waved his hands: "Go down, don't spread the news about what happened today."

Lin Ruhai's maid helped him to lie on the bed, "Master?"

Lin Ruhai's heart seemed to be heavy with a stone, and he closed his eyes slightly to sort out what Xueyan said just now.

I also remembered the topic of adoption that Wang Xiyan said just now.

What the hell does this kid mean?

Do you simply want to think for Daiyu's sake, or do you want something?

If anything, what is she asking for?

What she cares most about is her younger brother, her younger brother...

Something crossed his mind, Lin Ruhai quickly got up and said, "Go, call me Lin Zhong?"

The girl left in response, and Lin Zhong arrived soon. Seeing that Lin Ruhai's expression was not good, his expression changed slightly, "Master, is it your illness?"

"No, let me ask you, so Wang You went to Gusu just to meet his two grandfathers?"

"I heard that Miss Yan is going to celebrate the New Year there, and Ms. Yan will go to worship her ancestors after a while. It can be regarded as a formal adoption and will be recorded in the genealogy." In the end, I am afraid that Young Master Biao still doesn't know about it."

"Imperial examination?" Lin Ruhai's voice was inaudible, and it took a while to understand: "So that's how it is."

"master?"

"Wang Xiyan is asking for something, I'm afraid that's what she's asking for. Wang Zifei should have left money for them, so what she needs most now is Wang You's success. Just ask for something." Lin Ruhai leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes. Yan Yan said: "I'm going to visit some old friends after the Chinese New Year. Later, you send someone to ask them when they have time. This year, you will personally deliver the New Year's gift in Jinling, and tell the patriarch that I intend to choose someone in the clan. Heir, after the Chinese New Year, let him bring some more children to show me. You have to keep this matter secret, at least before people arrive in Yangzhou, I don’t want it to spread.” The Jia family also has members in Jinling, The Zhen family is also in Jinling, so he has many people to guard against.

Lin Zhong was very worried, "Master, if the heir..."

"I know," Lin Ruhai waved his hand, "So we are going to play a game of chess. I am not as good as Zhuge Kongming, but the wisdom of the predecessors is first, and I will still be able to stand on three legs."

Lin Zhong couldn't understand, but he was obedient enough.

Lin Ruhai laughed softly and said: "Those shops and villages, you may not know all the clansmen and outsiders, and you sell them all and exchange them for silver. Be careful, don't let Jia Lian find out that he has been in charge of the general affairs of the Jia family. , but you are shrewd."

Lin Zhongyi said, "Yes."

Lin Ruhai's eyes sparkled, he thought he probably guessed how Wang Zifei arranged for his daughter, Wang Zifei was better than him, stronger because he had a son, his daughter had support, but his child had no maternal family , but his Yu'er has, according to the news obtained during this period, the mother-in-law still loves Yu'er very much, this is his greatest support, and now, he is going to fight for another support for his daughter.

The five generations of the Lin family are good at management, and they have accumulated a lot of money over the years, and the Lin family is not like other nobles who are arrogant and extravagant. They are a scholarly family and pay attention to nourishing their spirits, so they don't spend much. What's more, the Lin family is thin, so it can be said that the Lin family has never been short of money.

And it is precisely because of the thinness of the Lin family's heirs that no one outside knows the size of the Lin family's property. Even his wife, Jia Min, was only handling internal affairs back then, but Lin Zhong has always been in charge of general affairs. Knowing about the Lin family's property, will the Jia family in the capital know about it?

Everything his wife Jia Min knew would be kept, and he had to deal with it in person in front of Jia Lian.

Thinking of his wife, Lin Ruhai felt a pain in his heart.

The wife must never have imagined that one day she would do everything possible to guard against her natal family, right?It was because he was sorry for her. He knew that the Lin family was not in good health, but he didn't expect that the blood would be cut off in his life. He was very happy after having a son, but no matter how careful the two were, the son still left Even his wife couldn't bear it and fell ill. How good would it be if he didn't have the task secretly arranged by the emperor on his shoulders?At that time, he would not leave suddenly, and now he will not be poisoned...

Lin Ruhai's thoughts were surging, and he suppressed the throbbing pain in his heart. Mr. Qi said that his poisonous taboos made him sad and happy, and he wanted to live longer.

Although Lin Ruhai is an official, he is gentle and elegant, and because he collects information for the emperor in the south of the Yangtze River, he has met many reckless people. He knows that money is very important in this world. Look, the noble and elegant Mrs. Wang is not just for Has Yinzi plotted against the Lin family?

So he wants to leave something for his daughter.

If he hadn't learned about Wang Zifei's special status from Mr. Qi, he might have thought that Wang Xiyan just had some money for self-defense, just like the Wang family and Jia family. right?

Therefore, he wanted everyone to think that her daughter had only a small amount of money, and he handed over the rest.

Lin Ruhai was overwhelmed with thoughts for a moment.Countless ideas flashed through my mind.
