The Red Mansion's Doting Wife Maniac
Chapter 35
Daiyu was stunned for a while, and finally realized, she frowned, "This is going to be troublesome..."
At first, she told Lin Ruhai about the existence of the Worry-Relief System, but she concealed the existence of Chen Yunjue, and in some places, she just skipped it.
But unexpectedly, she just wanted to give Chen Yun a favor in front of her father for a while, so she leaked Chen Yun's existence.
"When did you tell your father?" Chen Yun asked her after thinking about it.
Daiyu said, "Just after you taught me the new accounting method last time, I handed over the new accounting method to Dan Que and Bai Que, and asked them to re-copy all the accounts in the old book with the new accounting method. If there is a wrong account, write it down separately. Keeping accounts is no more time-consuming than reading the account book. It takes longer than reading the account book. It took half a month for the two of them to copy together. After looking at it, there was 10 taels of silver in the account that did not match, so I went to my father with the account book. After calculation, it is the eighth day of this month."
Eighth day?
Chen Yun calculated, "That was seven days ago. Such a long time is enough for your father to react."
"Then what should I do?" Daiyu frowned slightly, but she was not afraid, because she knew that her father would not punish her, but on Chen Yun's side, if her father had a bad opinion because of this, then she would have harmed Chen Yun.
Since we met, Chen Yun has relied on her a lot. It can be said that her rewards can only be completed by Chen Yun. Without Chen Yun's help, it would be difficult for her to complete these tasks, let alone get these immeasurable rewards.
Chen Yun thought for a while, and said, "At this point, there is no room for change. Soldiers come to cover up the water and soil. If your father asks, you can say it if you want, and don't say it if you don't want to."
"Then what do you do?" Daiyu asked.
Chen Yun smiled, "Your father and I are strangers, even if he has some guesses in his heart, he won't do anything to me without evidence, don't think too much, it's none of your business .”
"If it wasn't for my carelessness, where did all these troubles come from?" Daiyu said with some annoyance.
Chen Yun saw that she seemed to be a bit stubborn, so he comforted her, "It's not that serious, don't think about it..." After a pause, "Today is the Ghost Festival, do you want to go to release the river lanterns?"
Daiyu was distracted by his words, "Let the river lantern go?" She was a little moved, but after thinking about it, she said with a bitter face, "Father will not allow me to go."
"Why not?" Chen Yun was puzzled.
Daiyu said, "When there are festivals, there are a lot of pedestrians on the street. My father is afraid that something will happen to me, so he won't let me go out in previous years."
"In previous years, the Ghost Festival was also known as the Ghost Festival. Legend has it that the gates of ghosts are open on this day, and those with relatives will come out from the gates of ghosts to find relatives. These river lanterns are used to guide them. Of course , This is just a legend, no one has ever seen it, but it is also a sustenance." Although Chen Yun didn't make it clear in his words, Daiyu still understood what he meant.
She blinked, her eyes were a little red, "I would rather my mother join a good family in the next life, with a complete life and wealth, and don't have to suffer these hardships in this life."
"Yes." Chen Yun choked for a moment and sighed.
Daiyu took a deep breath, "The last time I coaxed you into agreeing to take the No. [-] exam, it was because the system sent me a special task."
"This task is not to urge me to take the No. [-] Scholar exam, is it?" Chen Yun said with a twitching corner of his mouth.
Daiyu nodded, "This special mission has two stages. The first stage is the first place in the provincial examination, and the second stage is the first place in the imperial examination. I originally thought that it would be a good thing to urge you to take the number one examination, but I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect me to be so unmotivated." Chen Yun smiled wryly.
Daiyu shook her head when she heard the words, "That's not what I mean, I just think...you seem a little inferior."
"Uh..." Chen Yun was silent.
Although he is an upright young man who grew up under the red flag, Chen Yunjue...does have a bit of inferiority complex.
From childhood to adulthood, he was a very ordinary group of people.
His grades are average, his circle of friends is average, and his family background is also average.
Before crossing over, the only thing he deserved to be commended for, perhaps, was his desperate efforts to save a little girl.
In a person's life, there is always one time to be desperate.
And the only time he did it was at the cost of his own life.
But he has no regrets, perhaps because of his good deeds, he has a second life.
Compared with the original body, Chen Yunjuan felt that he was far inferior to him, and he still ranked among the best in eating, drinking and having fun, with a solid foundation.
Comparing with Chen Yunxian, who is more intelligent and close to a monster, Chen Yunjuan is even more unconfident.
When he heard that Daiyu asked him to take the number one examination, he couldn't believe it, and felt baffled.
But now, he finally knew the reason.
Perhaps it was because he vaguely mentioned releasing river lanterns to pray for Jia Min today, which attracted Daiyu to confide the truth to him.
"Brother Yunjue, are you okay?" Chen Yunjue's silence made Daiyu a little uncomfortable. In front of her, Chen Yunjue has always been very safe and reliable, but today...she seems to have seen another side of Chen Yunjue.
This kind of Chen Yunjuan seems to be like a real child.
Chen Yun came back to his senses and smiled, "I'm fine."
Seeing him pretending to be indifferent, Daiyu felt a little uncomfortable, "Did I say something I shouldn't have said?"
"My good sister, don't take everything on yourself. This is my own business. How can I blame you?" Chen Yun said helplessly, "Actually, I also know that my mentality has not been shaken. Right, I always feel that I can't do it, but I'm not reconciled. You just told the truth and didn't do anything wrong."
Daiyu looked at him worriedly, "But you..."
"Don't worry, even if it's for your mother to have a good pregnancy in the next life, I have to work hard." Chen Yun excused.
Daiyu's eyes turned red again when she heard this, "This is what I should do, but you have to bear it."
She felt very guilty and uneasy. Chen Yun was obviously in a difficult situation, but facing her, she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
"Don't cry..." Chen Yun was a little panicked, "Even if I don't have this task, I still have to study hard to get a reputation. Of course, the higher the grade, the better. Who would dislike being the first in the exam?"
"Just comfort me." Daiyu said.
"I'm not comforting you, think about it for yourself, isn't what I said right? Even if there is no such system, don't I need to take the exam for fame?" Chen Yun borrowed.
Daiyu thought for a while, and felt that what Chen Yun said made sense, but felt something was wrong.
"Okay, don't think about it. It's my business to study for the imperial examination. What does it have to do with you? Don't think about it." Chen Yun saw that Daiyu was being fooled by him, so he quickly changed the subject, "Your father cleaned up Didn't the Jia family say anything about your mother's dowry?"
Speaking of Jia's family, Daiyu's face was not very good, "Grandmother sent Nanny Lai to question my father, saying that people like them have never sued their servants to the government, and even if there is something wrong, it is all about it." Why do you have to make such an ugly mess when you come out of the door to deal with it. My father is not polite, showing the evidence of these criminal slaves greedy for ink."
"and then?"
Daiyu sneered twice, "After reading these evidences, Nanny Lai still said vaguely that even if there is something wrong with these slaves, they should just be sent back to Jia's family. It would be ugly to make trouble in the government. She also alluded to my father's desire to corrupt My mother's dowry was taken away, and my father was very cold."
Chen Yun only knew that the Jia family had sent someone to the door, but he didn't know that there was such a good show.
It was an eye-opener for him, that there are such shameless people.
"Maybe...it's just that Nanny Lai made her own decision, not your grandmother's original intention." Chen Yun thought for a while and comforted her.
Daiyu shook her head, "If it wasn't for grandma's intention, how dare Madam Lai, a slave, dare to humiliate my father?"
Chen Yun didn't know what to say when he heard the words.
It is indeed humiliating for a person like Lin Ruhai to doubt that his son-in-law wanted to steal his dead wife's dowry.
Dowry has been a woman's private property since ancient times. If a woman is divorced, this dowry will be her lifelong support.
Generally speaking, anyone with a good family style would not stare at the dowry of their wife or daughter-in-law, because it would be disgraceful and their reputation would be ruined if it spread out.
"Don't think about these unhappy things. There is no curfew on the Hungry Ghost Festival today. Let's set off the river lanterns. I will pick you up at Xushi." Chen Yun said comfortingly.
Daiyu blinked and looked at him, "Aren't you afraid of being beaten out by my father?"
"I didn't do anything bad, why did you hit me?" Chen Yun excused.
Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and thought for a while, "Then you come."
She really wanted to go out.
"Then it's settled." Chen Yun said with a smile.
Lin Daiyu didn't understand where Chen Yun had the confidence to take her out.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Chen Yun was sent back by the system.
When I woke up, I asked the time, and it was not yet Shen's time.
Chen Yun took a shower and changed, took a fan and went out, then went to the second room to find his cousin Chen Yunheng, made an appointment to go out to light the river lanterns together at night, and then went to the third room to meet the cousin of the third uncle's house Chen Yingying.
As for the two younger cousins, Chen Yun was also afraid that something would happen to them, so he didn't bring them up.
On the contrary, Chen Yingying felt strange, "It's so good, why did you invite me out to release the river lantern?"
"It's rare for my cousin to go out once, so don't you want to go out to play? Besides, I didn't just ask you out, I also made an appointment with my second brother, and I will go to my grandfather's house in a while, and invite my cousin and the others to go out together. The cousin of my aunt's house Brothers and cousins are too young to be bothered to take care of them, so we don’t make appointments.”
After listening to Chen Yunjue's explanation, Chen Yingying couldn't find any loopholes, "Staying at home all day is really boring. Since you invited me with good intentions, I'll go with you."
"Thank you, sister." Chen Yun saluted with a smile, and then left.
Seeing Chen Yunjue leave, Chen Yingying tilted her head and thought for a while, she still felt that this kid was hiding something, but she didn't think Chen Yunjue would harm her, so she didn't investigate further.
Chen Yun rode on his horse and rushed to his grandfather's house.
The grandparent's house was adjacent to the second grandpa's house. After Chen Yun borrowed an appointment with Song Lin, the cousin of the younger uncle's house, he ran to the second grandpa's house and made an appointment with the aunt and the cousin Song Tong of the uncle's house in the lobby.
Wu Yangyang made an appointment with a bunch of people, and only then did Chen Yun sneakily pull Tang Aunt and tell his purpose.
Song Yuting originally thought that Chen Yun really invited them to watch the lanterns, but this kid had ulterior motives.
She looked at her cousin's youngest son dumbfounded, "Yuan, Yu'er is only eight years old..."
Chen Yun was slightly stunned, and when he realized it, his face turned red, "Auntie Tang, I just thought that Sister Lin was alone at home, so I wanted to ask her out to set off the river lanterns. I didn't mean that. I...I'm not... ..." I'm not a pervert.
At first, she told Lin Ruhai about the existence of the Worry-Relief System, but she concealed the existence of Chen Yunjue, and in some places, she just skipped it.
But unexpectedly, she just wanted to give Chen Yun a favor in front of her father for a while, so she leaked Chen Yun's existence.
