Chapter 326: Love in the Red Mansion is as Deep as the Sea 7
Jia Lian said with tears in his eyes: "Uncle, I thank you for your teachings. I am not an ungrateful person.
My nephew will remember this kindness in his heart. I will go back to my uncle and we will meet again someday."
Lin Ruhai brought a lot of Yangzhou specialties to Jia Lian and waved goodbye to Jia Lian at the dock.
Lin Ruhai's main purpose is to cause trouble for Mrs. Wang. If you can poison me, I can cause trouble for you!
The Lin family's ancestors had accompanied the emperor in founding the country and had made great military achievements. This Lady Wang wanted to exterminate the Lin family's descendants, so she was their mortal enemy.
After dealing with the inner house, Lin Ruhai asked the ninth prince to find two maids for Daiyu to leave the palace for her retirement. After all, there were so many complicated things in the inner house that someone had to teach the children.
Lin Daiyu had to learn how to perform etiquette in a personal relationship, how to manage servants in the inner house, and how to calculate her future.
In the original novel, the entire Grand View Garden was in turmoil, but the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where Lin Daiyu lived was safe and sound. Lin Daiyu naturally had a set of skills to control her subordinates.
Even Wang Xifeng praised them, saying that one broke easily due to a gust of wind, and the other was clueless when asked. This refers to the cleverness of Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.
Lin Daiyu had said long ago that if you spend more than you earn, you're afraid you won't be able to catch up later. Only that fool Jia Baoyu would say someone was shortchanged, and he wouldn't miss out on either of us.
The Jia family's real bottomless pit of spending was on Yuanchun. Not only did they lose their century-old foundation, but they also squandered all the money the Lin family had accumulated over several lifetimes! They also took advantage of the Xue family.
Mrs. Wang is really having her cake and eat it too. She is being played by her husband and wife clearly!
Lin Ruhai is now looking forward to the Ninth Prince taking the throne so that he can pull himself out of the quagmire of Jiangnan.
Now the fight for the throne has reached a white-hot stage. The Queen Mother and Concubine Zhen are at loggerheads with each other, neither willing to submit to the other.
The Empress Dowager is in charge of the throne, while Concubine Zhen is in charge of the favor. They are in a fierce rivalry, and neither of them will yield to the other!
They were draining the court's confidence, and the treasury was becoming increasingly poor while the old emperor's expenses were increasing.
Lin Ruhai felt like he was sitting on a mountain of knives. He could only grit his teeth and hold on. As long as the new emperor took office, he could make some arrangements and eventually escape from this dangerous situation.
Now the old emperor wanted more and more money, and Lin Ruhai not only collected money for the old emperor but also collected some for the ninth prince.
The Ninth Prince is now well-off, but he cannot fleece the salt administration. If he does not find new ways to make money, he will surely die here.
Lin Ruhai and his trusted merchants have already started a maritime trade business, and the ninth prince has also taken a stake.
After all, since Lin Ruhai had chosen a side, he had to leave a way for the people below him to survive. These people followed him onto the Ninth Prince's boat.
A prince can get a lot of tea, and if combined with the silk and porcelain produced in Jiangnan, this business is a sure win.
After clearing out the inner house, Lin Ruhai could finally breathe a sigh of relief and dared to let his children live in a separate courtyard.
Lin Jinyu also began to be enlightened. As for the troublesome Jia Yucun, Lin Ruhai directly gave him some travel expenses and used roundabout means to get him into the Wang family.
Wang Ziteng has connections in the court, so it's best not to let the Jia family get involved this time, as they are one of the nine clans of his wife's family. Any trouble with his wife's family is not good for the Lin family or Daiyu and Jinyu.
Nowadays, when marrying off a wife or a daughter, the ancestors of eight generations are checked. If something happened to her in-laws' family, how could Daiyu and Jinyu find a good family?
Therefore, the Jia family cannot fall, at least Jia She's side cannot fall. As for whether Mrs. Wang lives or dies, who cares about her!
Can a woman in the inner house not only make trouble but also influence the political situation?
Lin Ruhai had also revealed his stance to Jia Lian. In this kind of situation, everyone wins and everyone loses. Originally, Grandmother Jia had intended to side with Concubine Zhen.
The Jia family previously stood on the side of the former prince, which damaged their vitality and Jia She had already been defeated. Do you really think that the eldest master is a dandy boy?
Jia She had never done anything out of the ordinary except buying a fan and marrying Yuanyang. The eldest master had seen all kinds of women, but he insisted on marrying Yuanyang because he thought the old lady was partial to him.
He wanted to use Yuanyang to control Lady Jia's private treasury. He was not attracted to Yuanyang, but to the money.
The richest people in the entire Jia family are Jia She and Jia Mu. One of them took the private property of the Taifu Lady, while the other managed the family for many years.
These two people all took the wealth of the Jia family during its heyday. Jia Yin was a super-rank duke, and Jia She grew up with the old lady. The eldest son and grandson were the lifeblood of the old lady.
Most of the wealth Jia Yin had amassed throughout his life was in the hands of his wife. After her death, the money she gave to others was a drop in the bucket, and the rest was left to her eldest grandson.
As for selling Yingchun, it was purely because Yingchun could not establish herself. Yingchun, a concubine's daughter, marrying a fifth-rank official was a match made in heaven. Buying a young lady from the Jia family for five thousand taels of silver was a dream.
Yingchun's own dowry was to be five thousand taels, part of which was contributed by the public treasury, and part by the old lady, and there were also additions from relatives and friends.
Even the old furniture in the Jia Mansion's warehouse that had been refurbished was mostly made of rosewood and other materials. The Zhongshan Wolf was shamelessly brainwashing Yingchun.
But Yingchun still believed this. Why didn't Sun dare to tell Jia She about this? He was afraid of being beaten to death!
Lin Ruhai suddenly realized that Daiyu's physique was indeed not suitable for practicing martial arts, but could the maidservants under her be considered important figures?
All of you, come out and learn martial arts for the master. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. If my daughter is really bullied in the future, you must fight your way out and go home to report the news.
As a father, he must rush to save his daughter! His legs were broken!
As a result, all the maids around Lin Daiyu were in bad luck. The master went crazy and ran to Weiyuan Escort Agency to find a female boxer to teach these people martial arts.
Lin Daiyu was surprised to find that Xueyan and Queqiao were so tired that they were almost exhausted. They also ate a lot.
This afternoon, Lin Daiyu's table was filled with boiled dried bean curd strips, braised lion's head, shrimps with Longjing tea, pork with rose wine, and stir-fried kale.
Originally, the two children should have been vegetarians, but Lin Ruhai had all the servants in the house use the Loyalty Pill, and now the inner and outer courtyards are as impregnable as a rock.
Lin Ruhai advised Daiyu and Jinyu: "Your mother loves her two children the most. As long as you are well, her spirit in heaven will be happy.
Filial piety doesn't depend on this; reading should extract the essence and discard the dregs. Just eat vegetarian food on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month."
After Lin Ruhai's treatment, Daiyu and Jinyu are now in good health except for looking thinner. All the remaining toxins in their bodies have also been cleared away.
Her appetite also improved. Lin Daiyu ate a full bowl of rice at noon and ate some of each dish.
This was simply impossible in the past. A person would take more medicine than food, and their appetite would have been ruined long ago.
There is also the one saying that Lin Daiyu likes to eat spiced turnips, which is really ridiculous.
A rich lady with luxurious clothes and fine food eats that stuff? Lin Daiyu probably has never eaten any pickles in her life!
