Daiyu's life

Chapter 30

Meng Li came back from a busy circle, seeing Daiyu leading his two younger brothers guarding Lin Ruhai, Meng Li cupped his hands, Daiyu and the two younger brothers also got up and saluted.

Hao Xuan: "How is it going outside now, sir?"

Mr. Meng saw that Lin Ruhai's face was still calm. Although the Lin family siblings were anxious, they could hold their breath. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The outside world is under control, even the captured assassins are dead."

Daiyu, "Mr. Meng is surrounded by people who accidentally injured people." Meng Li shook his head and said, "It's not in the downtown area, and no one was hurt."

Hao Xuan greeted, "Mr. has been busy for such a long time, let's take a rest first. If Dad wakes up here, I will send someone to invite Mr. over immediately."

The rest of the guards in the mansion now listen to Meng Li's deployment, and with the servants of the Lin family, the safety of the mansion is guaranteed, and there are still some things outside, so Meng Li did not stay, and confirmed Lin Ruhai with Dr. Lu again and again. There was no danger to his life, and no injury to his body, so Meng Li left.

Lin Ruhai will be fine until the evening. In ancient times, there were really a lot of poisons, and there were some people who were enshrined in blood, but that kind of sincerity is not easy to deal with. This assassination is the last counterattack of the third prince. The target is mainly the eldest prince. Lin Ruhai is just By the way, the preparations were not very sufficient, those assassins were killing hair with one life for another, and the poison quenched was not the poison of heartbroken grass and tripterygium wilfordii, which can kill people in a small amount, it was just oleander powder, which should be treated as soon as possible. , Lin Ruhai will be fine when he wakes up.

Haoyu cried when he saw Lin Ruhai woke up and cried, lying on Lin Ruhai's bed and crying, "Daddy, Daddy, don't want me."

The third sister and brother of the Lin family who have been calm since Lin Ruhai's accident, Haoyu burst into tears, Daiyu trembled with tears, Haoxuan wept silently, and the servants outside heard that Lin Ruhai had woken up and went to look for Lu The doctor has gone.

Daiyu looked anxious in Lin Ruhai's eyes, and helped Lin Ruhai up with Haoxuan and said, "Father, don't worry, I will teach Mr. Meng to handle the outside affairs, and the remaining seventy guards are now at the disposal of Mr. Meng. Huizi heard that his father was awake, so he must be coming soon. The injured guards were also taken care of by special personnel. The people in the outer courtyard were arranged by Haoxuan. Mr. Meng saw that it was appropriate, and other arrangements were also made. "

Lin Ruhai was being fed water spoonful by spoonful by Haoyu, after drinking a small bowl of clear water, Lin Ruhai was able to speak, raised his hand to wipe Haoyu's face, and said, "Don't worry, there is still your sister Three younger brothers, daddy will be fine."

Haoyu kept nodding, but Daiyu held back her tears after all, and said, "Daddy, please stop talking, rest well, and take care of it for two days. Let's be more careful in the future."

Dr. Lu came here with Mr. Meng. Dr. Lu checked the pulse again and confirmed that Lin Ruhai was fine. It was his arm that was injured. The carrion was cut off, and there was not much poison left. Now, he lost a lot of blood and was inconvenient to use his hands. Daiyu was very satisfied with the result.

Seeing that Mr. Meng and Lin Ruhai had something to say, all three of Daiyu's siblings withdrew.

Lin Ruhai was still a little weak, his throat was dry and he couldn't speak, so Mr. Meng said to himself, "This time, we were careless. We thought that the sage removed all the people of the third prince, but who knew that he still stayed?" back up."

Lin Ruhai asked in a hoarse voice, "How is it outside?"

Mr. Meng shook his sleeves and said, "What else can happen, what can happen after you've been unconscious for a long time."

Lin Ruhai didn't believe it at all, and kept staring at Meng Li, but Mr. Meng said angrily, "Okay, okay, don't look at me, I'll tell you everything." Lin Ruhai was satisfied at this point.

Mr. Meng said, "It has been confirmed that the new magistrate is also a member of the eldest prince. Not only did you have an accident, but I just found out that an accident happened to the He family. His mother passed away, and his lord is going to Ding You soon. And the fifth house of the Zhen family The third master came and brought a lot of medicinal materials, and the eldest brother received him, knowing that the adult is fine, so he went back, saying that he would come to visit when the adult is well."

Lin Ruhai kept silent, it seemed that Jiangnan really fell into the hands of the Zhen family, after a while Lin Ruhai sighed and said, "I was reckless in the matter of the Lu family."

Meng Li shook his head and said, "It's no wonder my lord. No one knew that the third prince borrowed the courage from the sky to do such a thing. If they are allowed to go on like this, the Northwest is in danger. My lord pushed his hands and I don't know how many people in the Northwest have been saved." , I really don’t need to blame myself, the fifth prince said more than once that we did a good job this time, but I was actually thinking about the confinement of the third prince, and now there is only the eldest prince left, and he is jumping up and down like this, I really want to see Let's see if the sage still dotes on Concubine Zhen's mother and child like this for decades."

Lin Ruhai could only shake his head and said, "Yes, there are really many benefits, but it's just that we have been in a difficult situation in the past few years."

Meng Lidao: "Yes, the Zhen family's behavior is not too much now, and the adults will just turn a blind eye and close their eyes. When their appetite grows, Jiangnan's manpower will be stable. It may not be able to accommodate the adults, even if the adults take precautions." Well, what should the girl and the two brothers do? After a year, the Zhen family will have a firm foothold, and when the girl and the two brothers are married, they will not be able to stay at home every day. At that time, I really don't know what to do .”

Lin Ruhai is not an idiot. He just woke up from the injury and Meng Li said so much in a hurry. Something must have happened, so he asked directly, "But what does the Fifth Prince have to say?"

Meng Li sighed. He really wanted to get along well with Lin Ruhai. When the two of them left Yangzhou, it would not be a problem for Lin Ruhai to enter the cabinet. Fuck, the third sibling of the Lin family is Lin Ruhai's sharp-eyed and sharp-eyed. Thinking of what he was about to say next, Meng Li sighed fiercely.

Lin Ruhai was quite reasonable, and Meng Li couldn't help himself. Seeing him making things difficult for Lin Ruhai, he said, "Don't make things difficult, sir, I know your difficulties."

Meng Li was not at his mother-in-law either, and said, "I just received a secret letter from the fifth prince, saying that the Rongguo Mansion sent people to Yangzhou again to pick up the girl and two elder brothers to Beijing. Mrs. Jia was ill two days ago. He said that because he missed his daughter too much, he sent someone to Yangzhou when he was in better health, and now he is on his way. What His Highness meant was to let the adults agree to the girl and two elder brothers to go to Beijing. On the one hand, there would be no worries. It is also because the Jia family and the Zhen family are old relatives, and it will be more convenient for the adults to send the girl and two brothers to Beijing in the future, and it will be easier for His Highness to take care of them in Beijing, but now there is an assassination of the adults."

Lin Ruhai took the small bowl beside the bed, drank the clear water in it, and asked, "Is the Jia family involved?"

Meng Li sighed helplessly. The Jia family was not only involved, but invested on both sides. Now that the third prince had an accident and the eldest prince became bigger, the relationship between the Jia family and the Zhen family became closer, and Lin Ruhai's complexion became even worse. Meng Li quickly said "The Jia family doesn't have a man who can do anything right now. Many important things are done by Mrs. Jia, but they are just sending some money to each family."

Lin Ruhai heard the words and asked, "Eldest uncle and second uncle don't know about this."

Meng Li shook his head and said, "Your elder uncle and his family definitely don't know about it, but Master Jia Er doesn't know about it."

Lin Ruhai said, "Wait for me to make arrangements." This was agreed, and Meng Li was very surprised. He thought it would take a lot of talking, but as long as Lin Ruhai agreed, it would be fine if the Lin family entered the capital. Now that he is under his control, the fifth prince can rest assured that he can hand over some of the people in his hands to Lin Ruhai. Why is the fifth prince willing to let the first prince swallow him in such a big place in the south of the Yangtze River? It is still not safe for outsiders to use it, so Meng Lihaosheng persuaded Lin Ruhai to send Daiyu and his brother to Beijing.

Daiyu is now leading Haoxuanhaoyu to deal with the eighteen dead guards, listening to Mrs. Fan say, "These guards are all from Yangzhou, and many of them live in the west of the city. Now there are thirteen families here. The five people sent by unmarried parents who are also in the countryside haven’t come back yet, maybe they haven’t caught up with the progress, the coffins have all been bought back, all the corpses are put into the coffins, the people have also been tidied up, and all the used ones are used. Waiting. It’s just that the ice basin ordered by the girl is not enough.”

Daiyu said, "Put two more ice basins next to the five guards whose families haven't come at night. If it's not enough, go out and buy some at a high price. Don't break it."

Mrs. Fan agreed, turned around and went out to give orders. It is not easy to use ice in the south of the Yangtze River. It is all transported from the north in winter. Not to mention the waste of money. The people who dig the ice and carry the ice freeze to death every year. It is very miserable. The Lin family has always used it sparingly in Xia Tian, ​​and they don't have a lot of storage at home. Now Xia Tian's corpse will rot if it is left alone for a day.

When Auntie Fan came back, she said, "When the formalities are completed by the magistrate tomorrow, they will be able to let their family members take them back."

Daiyu thought for a while and said, "Except for the yamen giving us a share of our family property, the aunt will see how much it is good." These guards are desperate to protect Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai can be hurt so lightly. Focus on herself, Lin Ruhai will die, Daiyu really wants to treat their family members generously, and she is afraid that she will not be able to control her own sense of proportion.

Aunt Fan thought for a while and said, "Most of these guards are from the countryside. They cost two taels of silver a month. It stands to reason that 100 taels is too much. But our land in the south of the Yangtze River is expensive. The top-quality dry land is 12 taels of silver per mu, and the top-quality paddy fields are worth 21 taels of silver per mu." It’s 100 taels of silver per mu, so [-] taels doesn’t seem like a lot.”

Haoxuan said, "Then it will be calculated at 200 taels of silver. If the family is in the countryside, they will buy five acres of high-quality paddy fields and five acres of high-quality dry fields, and the rest will be given to their families. Those in the city will be given 200 taels of silver. Sister, look Good."

Daiyu said, "When you give it, you have to agree. If you are not married, give it to their parents. If you are married and have no children, give half to your parents and half to their daughter-in-law. If their daughter-in-law remarries in the future, it will be reserved for the elderly. But if they I don’t want to remarry. Some people force me to let our family know, so everything has to be taken back. I’m giving 30 taels of silver to their daughter-in-law in private. If they get married and have children, they will record the land under the children’s name, no matter whether they grow it themselves or give it to others. Importantly, when they collect rent, the elderly and children must get half of the harvest. If the land is not given to the elderly or children, the land will be taken back. The remaining money will be shared equally between the elderly and children, and privately given to these daughters-in-law Give ten taels more, and don’t let those in the city do what they say in the village. At worst, they can rent it out and collect rent every year. You must tell them these requirements, and help them write down the words when the time comes, and if you don’t listen Our house will be taken back, and we will find two honest people to do it. In the future, people will go to these families every year to see how they are doing."

Hao Xuan couldn't help but nodded in agreement and said, "My sister is still thoughtful." Hao Yu sighed.
