Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 139 Don’t let the wealth go to outsiders

But now that this silly son has brought it up, it depends on what Lin Ruhai will say.

Lin Ruhai was shocked. He didn't expect that they could say this in such a high-sounding way.

Although he had no objection to his daughter marrying into the Yue family, he had to be cautious after hearing what they said.

After marrying into the family, can a daughter still hold on to her own things?

"Brother-in-law, the children are still young. It's too early to talk about this now. If the children are really destined to be close relatives in the future, we can talk about it later."

"After all, I only have one daughter. I don't ask her to marry into a wealthy family. I just want her to live a happy and harmonious life."

"That's it! That's it!"

"Not everyone can marry a prince or noble. My brother-in-law has a point."

Jia She felt that what Lin Ruhai said made sense. He must feel that it was a bit reluctant for his daughter to marry into a wealthy family.

He knew that as a third-rank official, the Rongguo Mansion was the highest family his brother-in-law could climb.

Grandmother Jia found it difficult to know what was in her eldest son's head.

The train of thought is always so unique.

But now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot.

They are all pawnshops anyway, and the Lin family’s is always closer than the Xue family’s.

Eventually, the two masters of the Jia family and Grandmother Jia decided to mortgage some of the family's shops, farms, and some unused and inconspicuous collections to Yonglin Pawnshop.

And no information is released to the outside world.

Wait until Lin Ruhai just walked out of the room.

Grandmother Jia poured a cup of tea directly on Jia She.

"Do you know what you said?"

"Even if you have that thought, you can't say it out loud."

"Is it honorable to use the daughter-in-law's dowry?"

Jia She was splashed with water and stepped back repeatedly, but he didn't know what he said wrong, so he kept flicking the tea leaves and shouting,

"Mom, what I said is wrong."

"Lin Ruhai is a third-rank official in a low-income government office. Isn't it marrying up for the son of our Duke's Mansion?"

"When our sons and daughters are getting married, the man takes the initiative to propose it. This is to respect the woman."

"Are you waiting for Lin Ruhai to take the initiative to get close to you?"

"Besides, if it weren't for the support of the Duke's Mansion, my sister's huge business would have been swallowed up long ago."

Before Grandmother Jia could say anything, Jia Zheng spoke up as he watched the farce.

"Mom, my elder brother is right about one thing, pawnshop, there is no pawnshop for my sister's dowry."

"This could be a new development of my sister's business."

"Or it could be the old property of the Lin family."

"Or it may be something he gained while serving in Yangzhou."

When Jia She heard that Jia Zheng defended him, he was very surprised.

He nodded quickly.

"Mom! Yes, in Yangzhou, even if others don't give money or don't want it, no matter how honest you are, there is money everywhere on the ground. You can easily open a shop by picking it up."

“Maybe my brother-in-law and his family still have something good.”

“It’s hidden!”

Grandmother Jia's heart was pounding. On the one hand, she was angry, but on the other hand, she suddenly thought of her daughter. It was indeed the best choice for her niece to marry into the Jia family.

Good things should be kept within the Jia family. Once you enter the Jia family, all your uncles are your own. Baoyu is a person who can listen to his wife.

And if this granddaughter-in-law is one of my own, it would be more suitable for me.

"Second brother, when you have time, talk to your wife and be nicer to your niece."

"I'll talk to your sister when I have time."

"But the children are still young, and this is not something that can be accomplished overnight."

"Didn't we get no response last time we asked?"

Grandmother Jia and Jia Zheng discussed something and then left.

……

"Sister Lin, what did your aunt ask you to do just now?" Jia Baoyu asked hurriedly with concern when he saw Lin Daiyu coming back.

Everyone was having a great time just now, when suddenly the aunt called Lin Daiyu away.

Something must have happened.

Lin Daiyu looked at these young men and ladies and sighed in her heart, think about borrowing money to have fun, and enjoy it while you can.

“No one knows how many ups and downs the future holds.

How many people are as open-minded as Jia Min and Lin Ruhai who let themselves know some trivial matters at home?

You can also refer to some opinions.

She smiled and said to Jia Baoyu: "Nothing, just say that your sister has become an imperial concubine and asked me to prepare some gifts."

"Don't play around all the time. Learn more from your friends. Otherwise, you won't know anything and will be embarrassed for your mother."

Tanchun asked in surprise, "Can our gifts be delivered?"

Daiyu held Tanchun's hand and said jokingly, "Third sister, you are not afraid. You are clever with your words and hands."

"Sister Bao is not afraid either. She is talented. I am not as good as her. I am stupid and stubborn. I told my mother that I will not go and embarrass myself."

"I heard that the emperor has shown mercy and my cousin can come back to visit her parents."

"I just got the news, don't say I told you."

"If you want to perform well and impress your elder sister, you need to prepare in advance."

When Xue Baochai heard the news, her eyes lit up and she was secretly delighted.

I also got some vague news, although my mother didn't say it was certain, she just said it was possible.

Now that it has been confirmed by Lin Daiyu, I think it is true.

You must prepare well in order to stand out.

I can only rely on myself in this life.

……

"What did you say? Sister, my brother-in-law told you that the Lin family has taken out the money."

"Jia Min took out her dowry?"

"how is this possible?"

"Is she stupid?" Aunt Xue asked Mrs. Wang in surprise.

Mrs. Wang was called out by Jia Zheng just now, and when she came back she told him about this letter.

Jia Min stepped in to stop the Xue family pawnshop from transferring the money.

Mrs. Wang held the banknote that Aunt Xue handed over in her hand and said angrily,

"Yes, I don't know what's wrong with Jia Min."

"Just now he kept making excuses, but now he agrees without hesitation."

"Don't worry, sister. I promised you that I would do it."

"I will talk to the queen about this when I have a chance. Only the queen can make the decision on this matter."

Mrs. Wang felt very sad. Jia Zheng had just told her that the Lin family also had a pawnshop, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were pawned.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have stopped my sister.

He should even directly ask Xue's pawnshop to take over.

This will also show that the sisters are doing their best for the Jia family's affairs.

But now I have lost the opportunity, as my mother-in-law and others have already agreed to the Lin family.

Damn it! Jia Min, you ruined my good fortune.

He also fantasized about having his daughter marry into the Jia family and become his wife.

What a joke.

I have been a daughter-in-law for twenty years, but I still don’t have much authority.

Besides, I had already promised my sister one hundred thousand taels, so how could I have the remaining one hundred thousand taels? This one hundred thousand taels was taken from my sister.

Neither he nor Jia Zheng was capable of managing the family business.

The money is getting less and less, otherwise he would not have allowed his niece to marry into the family.

Isn't it just for the purpose of being able to be the head of the family?

Jia Min is really amazing, her family business is growing bigger and bigger.

At this time, Aunt Xue spoke up, "Sister, I believe you."

"But, the Majesty is coming home to visit her parents. Can my Baochai see her?"

"It also depends on my sister to say a few good words in front of the queen."

"I dare not say anything else, but my Baochai will definitely listen to you, and I will definitely help you with anything that the Xue family has."

Madam Wang patted her sister's arm and said, "We are sisters, there is no difference between you and me."
