A visit to Fangchun

The next morning, Daiyu felt sore all over her body and didn't want to do anything but fall asleep.

Jia Mu ordered Yuanyang to force her to get up and have breakfast.

After dinner, Baoyu followed, but seeing that she was still going to sleep, she scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously.Jia Tanchun left Cuimo behind with a smile, and said with a smile, "it's just right, let Xueyan watch by, and you beat sister Lin." Then he said to Baoyu, "second brother, don't worry, and stay with sister Lin Let's talk." But he walked away shyly.

Jia Baoyu let out a long breath, carefully looked at Cuimo's massage technique, and saw that Daiyu's face gradually calmed down, and praised with a smile: "Everyone around the third sister is more capable than the other. I said a while ago that I am waiting for a book now. She has become more stable and dignified, but I never thought that Cui Mo would be smarter."

Daiyu smiled and said to Zijuan: "Listen, your second master despises you and Xueyan. Hurry up and cry a few times."

Zicuckoo shook her head and smiled, "What do we have to cry about? The second master saw one complimenting the other. Isn't this what happened a long time ago? Sooner or later, it will be interesting to praise so much that people are annoyed!"

Baoyu laughed.

Xue Yan pursed her lips and smiled at Cui Mo.Cui Mo pointed her softly, rubbing where the girl hurt her shoulders, knocking where her back hurts, hitting where she can't sleep, pressing where she doesn't eat well.Snow geese pay attention to remember one by one.

Such banging, chatting and laughing, time passed quickly, suddenly Xiaochan jumped in and said with a smile: "Sister Cuimo, the girl said, you can't push it too much, Miss Lin can't bear it. Let you go back gone."

Baoyu then helped Xueyan to help Daiyu sit up, and thanked Cuimo: "Thank you."

Cui Mo pulled the handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Our girl personally ordered it, or she didn't order it. Miss Lin admires my craftsmanship, and I should do it!"

Xiaochan then smiled at Baoyu and said, "Second master, why don't you hurry out? The eldest master, the second master, and the second master Lian have been discussing matters in the old lady's upper room. It has been more than half an hour, and I am afraid that they are about to leave. You are not afraid." Before the second master left, he asked if Baoyu was there."

Jia Baoyu turned pale immediately, jumped up and ran: "Xiaochan, thank you!"

Lin Daiyu looked at Baoyu's back in a hurry, smiled and shook her head.

Xiao Chan also bowed her head and retired with Cui Mo.

Lin Daiyu smiled and nodded, watching them go.Turning Xiaochan's words in my heart, I was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized that these three men and the old lady could talk for half an hour in the upper room. thing!

Busily got up, ordered Zicuckoo: "Comb your hair and change your clothes! Hurry up!"

Zijuan didn't know why, but seeing Lin Daiyu's solemn expression, she hurriedly did so.

In the upper room, Jia Lian detailed Lin Ruhai's last words to Jia Mu and Jia She and Jia Zheng: "Uncle said that the Holy One respects him, and he should be loyal to him, so he has been an official all these years, and he is innocent. The prospects of several properties in the family are not bad, he is not short of money, and the dowry of sister Lin is also enough. So, if the master wants to ask, he can answer bluntly: No, even if you do this After many years of salt administration, there is not even half a trustworthy salt merchant that our family can make friends with."

"Because Sister Lin was young, my uncle did entrust our family to help collect his money, but when entrusting it to me, Sister Lin was by the side, and she could hear everything clearly. The booklet was also made in duplicate. One for me and one for sister Lin."

As he spoke, he handed a brochure to Mother Jia: "Here, there are ten dowry shops in the capital for Sister Lin. There are five Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing and on Shanxi Road, with a thousand hectares of fertile land. There are also a few houses in my hometown. He said that he had prepared sister Lin as a dowry to be the housekeeper in the future. But he didn’t tell me their names, and only said that they would not enter our mansion, but only live in Zhuangzi.”

Then he handed another brochure to Mother Jia: "This is my uncle's own property. He said that when my sister gets married, if the family is willing to manage it, they will also marry it. If they don't want to, they will turn it into silver and give it to my sister." Press box." Paused, subconsciously lowered his voice, "I'll do the math on this item, if it's folded, there will be about 80 million taels of silver..."

Jia Amnesty's eyes suddenly lit up, and he lost his voice and said, "Lin Ruhai actually gave all the millions of money to his daughter as a dowry?"

Jia Lian lowered his eyes to hide the greed in his eyes: "Exactly. Counting the inside and outside, not counting the first aunt's dowry, there are more than a million."

Jia She narrowed his eyes, snorted, and muttered, "If that's the case, why don't you give his daughter's envoy fee to our family first..."

Jia's mother was furious, and she yelled first: "Shut up!" Fang remembered that in front of Jia Lian, he forced himself to suppress his anger, and shilled Jia Lian: "You did a good job. Your Uncle Lin is not a fool, you can do this Bu Tiandi, it's already pretty good. Go ahead, isn't Zhen'er waiting for you to discuss the garden? If you have something, I'll ask you to come in and ask you."

Jia Lian got the compliment, full of complacency, stood up and bowed his head, "Yes, my grandson will leave." He saluted Jia amnesty and Jia Zheng, and went out proudly.

Unexpectedly, when he went out, Lin Daiyu just stepped in, the two of them almost bumped into each other, they took a step back and greeted each other with smiles.Jia Lian was startled. Seeing her, she couldn't help but shudder, so she nodded with a smile and said, "My sister is here? I have something to go out. The gentlemen are all inside!"

As if Lin Daiyu didn't understand his hint, she lowered her head and saluted, and said, "Second brother Lian, busy just after he came back? Thanks to you for our family affairs, I'm tired, please rest more when you have time."

Jia Lian had no choice but to smile humbly and leave.

Mother Jia was holding two booklets when she saw Lin Daiyu come in with an embarrassed expression on her face.

Lin Daiyu lowered her eyes and bowed to Mother Jia and the two uncles, then turned around and hid in Mother Jia's arms, sobbing softly.

Mother Jia and her two sons looked at each other.Jia Amnesty winked at Jia's mother vigorously, but Jia Zheng lowered his head.Jia's mother threw the booklet aside first, patted her to comfort her: "Be good and don't cry, tell grandma, what's wrong?"

Lin Daiyu sat up straight, still weeping, and said in a low voice: "I know what my grandmother and uncle and cousin are talking about, it's nothing more than our family's business. Now my parents are gone, in this world, only my grandmother and my uncle My uncle is the closest. My father has always been a person who is afraid of causing trouble to others, but I am young, no matter how afraid he is of causing trouble to my grandmother, he will have to cause trouble to my grandmother. "

Mother Jia slapped her lightly and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm your grandmother, that's your real uncle, aunt and uncle, relatives from generation to generation, broken bones and tendons. Don't say your father has no brothers and sisters." , even if there is, you have to rely on me when it comes to closeness. You should follow your grandmother, so don't think about it in the future."

Lin Daiyu bowed her head and said yes, and continued: "My father left me a few taels of silver and some things. I really don't understand these things. When my father was at the bedside, Lian's second brother resigned several times, saying that I Just take care of it yourself. But how can I take care of it? At most, I can use my grandmother’s storeroom to store live insects.” As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Jiamu anxiously, “Grandma, my father’s life is not easy. I seem to understand, but I know that these things should not be ruined in my hands. Grandma, please help me."

Jia Amnesty's eyes widened when he heard this, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face.Jia Zheng frowned slightly, looked at Lin Daiyu's back for a long time, and twitched his beard in silence.

Mother Jia took a deep breath, took a handkerchief, squinted her eyes and wiped her tears carefully, coaxing: "Your affairs are naturally grandma's affairs. Grandma doesn't care, who else can take care of it?"

Lin Daiyu burst into tears and threw herself into Jiamu's arms: "Thank you, grandma."

Mother Jia hugged her and coaxed her for a long time, then raised her head and ordered Jia to pardon Jia Zheng: "from now on, Yu'er's things will be placed in our house, and a separate warehouse will be set up for storage. You two will take good care of her, and if there is any mistake , see how I deal with you!" After thinking for a while, he simply said: "Go, there is a pen and ink on the table, go and give Yu'er a receipt, and both of you should sign your names!"

Lin Daiyu felt a little shy when she heard this, and was about to stop her, but remembered what Tanchun had said before, no one else has anything as good as her own, so she bit her lip and said nothing.

Without further ado, Jia Zheng stood up and went to pick up the pen, finished writing the receipt, leaving a place for Jia Shen's signature at the bottom, and wrote his name solemnly at the back, and handed it to Jia Shen.

Jia Amnesty was very unwilling to sign, but he knew that based on what Lin Daiyu said just now, and Jiamu was worried about spending money on herself and others, if she really refused to sign, she might never want to see a penny in the treasury in the future. I had no choice but to write my own name on it.

Jia Mu took it from them, and held it in her hand to show Lin Daiyu: "Look, is this possible?"

Lin Daiyu's personality in the past should be glanced at this time, and then shyly ask Jia Mu to keep it for her.Unexpectedly, Lin Daiyu reached out and took it, took a serious look, folded it up a few times and tucked it into the sleeve, raised her hands to hold her face, and said in a low voice with shame, "From now on, this will be my dowry." It's..."

Both Jia Mu and Jia She and Jia Zheng looked at her in astonishment, even the roots of her ears turned red, and then the faces of the three of them sank.

how?How dare she accept this receipt?

At this moment, Baoyu's voice suddenly sounded outside: "Huh? Didn't you say that the old men were discussing business with the ancestors? How do you say that sister Lin is also in there? You lie to me again! Sister Lin, sister Lin?!"

Mother Jia's heart moved, her face suddenly became clear, she smiled brightly, and pushed Daiyu: "Okay, I have other things to say to your uncles. You heard that Baoyu is looking for you, you go and play." Don't keep thinking about being sad, do you understand?"

Daiyu stood up with her face blushing and her head lowered. She bowed her knees and saluted Jia Mu and Jia Amnesty solemnly: "Thank you grandma, first uncle, and second uncle. I'm going out."

All three of them smiled and nodded, watching her walk out calmly, closing the door with their hands back.
