The main theme is that if you don't make it easy for me, I will make it difficult for you. Even if I get a bad reputation, I will let you know how powerful I, Lin Ruhai, am.
Butler Lin also did other things, but found some well-known capable people in Beijing and asked them to inspect the dowry in front of the Jia family.
For example, the medicine smoked on the cloth, leather and furniture was unproven. In order to prevent the Jia family from biting them back, he asked the famous and reputable cloth village steward, the master carpenter, and the good doctor who used the medicine to check it.
.
These people can make a name for themselves in Beijing, how can they be ordinary people? Let alone inspecting things. At a glance, they can tell the origin and age of these things. If there are things added to them, then
Don't even try to hide it from them.
Sure enough, as soon as a few people saw those things, they noticed something was wrong before they even got started with them.
However, in order to convince the public, they still carefully identified it, and then told them what medicine was used, when it was used, and what the harmful effects were.
The first person to speak was the steward of the cloth shop. She took out a piece of fabric and introduced it: "The piece of material in my hand is called Huaguang Satin. It is a very rare material. Only twenty pieces were made back then.
Because the nobles liked them, they were all sent to the palace.
The horse that Mrs. Lin gave as a dowry, if my predictions are correct, must have been given by that noble man back then!"
Butler Lin responded with a smile: "Guan Feng is indeed very capable. This cloth was indeed given by the palace. According to my late wife, it was specially given to her by that noble person as a dowry."
After hearing this, Guanshi Feng nodded clearly: "That's right. Except for the twenty horses that came out that year, this material has never been made again. Except for the rewarder, I'm afraid I want to look elsewhere.
Can't find it either.
The reason why Huaguang Satin is so rare is not only that the clothes made from it will have a luster that makes people forget about the vulgarity, but it also has the effect of keeping warm in winter and cool in summer. It is even more rare if it is embroidered with exquisite patterns.
It's just that although this material is good, it's not easy to preserve. That's why I didn't make it again. If you preserve it well, it will only lose some of its luster. But if you tamper with it, various situations will occur.
Like this one."
With that said, she handed the material in front of everyone so that everyone could see it more clearly.
Everyone stepped forward and took a closer look, and saw that under the sunlight, layers of bright light appeared on the material, and as the cloth shook, other colors appeared, which looked very gorgeous.
The only drawback is that the spots are one after another, as if someone has spilled ink on them, which is very annoying to the eyes.
The evidence was all in front of them, and it was personally confirmed by the time-honored manager Feng, so everyone believed it.
Next, there is the problem of the furniture.
Good wood is rare not only because of its scarcity, but also because of its own value. In addition, the dowries of ancient girls were saved from birth. Jia Daishan loved Jia Min so much, so the materials used to make furniture are not bad.
But the better the wood, the more it must be well preserved. Wood that has been treated with medicine will be damaged even if it is not used. Therefore, the master carpenter pointed out those places directly.
And the doctor stood aside the whole time. When they pointed out what was wrong with something, he told them one by one what medicine was on it and what the medicine did, without any pause.
After checking everything, everyone discovered that these medicines almost all have one thing in common, that is, they make people unable to have children.
After hearing this, the people who were watching were all sighing and scolding the Jia family for not being good people. Marrying their daughter with so much dowry was just to make the son-in-law's family unable to succeed. This was too vicious.
The servants of the Jia family who were hiding behind the door were also surprised when they heard this.
Because in their perception, the old lady loved her aunt Jia Min very much. Now that they learned that the dowry was full of problems and that it was a medicine that made people unable to conceive, how could they not be surprised.
Although they were very puzzled, they still had to report what should be reported, otherwise the master would blame them for the mistake, and they would have died unjustly.
When everyone was scolding, Butler Lin did not stop him, nor did he join in the scolding. Instead, after everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, he then exploded with another big melon, which was to read the gifts the Lin family gave to the Jia family.
Gift list.
At first, everyone didn't think it was anything, but as they listened further, their jaws dropped in shock.
It was one thing to know that these families were rich, but when these things were placed in front of them, they realized how shocking they were.
Butler Lin has been dealing with people for many years, and he knows best the principle of keeping wealth secret.
So, without waiting for those people to speak, he took the lead and said: "I'm not afraid of everyone's laughter. The things on these gift lists are almost all the output of the Lin family over the years, because the old lady wants our girl to replace Mrs.
For the sake of filial piety, although my husband was very reluctant to part with her, he still sent the girl here. In order not to cause trouble to the Jia family, he asked me to send all the things.
But who would have expected that after our master returned to Beijing, he learned that my girl had become a broken-down woman who came here to beat the autumn wind, and even the medicine she used when she felt unwell was a useless scum that had no medicinal properties..."
Halfway through his words, he pretended to be unable to speak, covered his face and burst into tears.
People are the best at imagining. The less he says anything and the less he can say anything, the more people will think about it.
For example, what he didn't say was what were the things Jia Min gave him when he was still alive, and why were there so many?
For example, why did the Jia family insist on separating the father and daughter, and why did they not treat the two girls of the Lin family well after they were brought to Beijing?
And who do you mean by the useless scum that has lost its medicinal properties?
The more everyone thought about it, the brighter their eyes became, and the more they looked at the Jia family, the more wrong they became. The discussion gradually became louder, and as the number of people increased, it spread wider and wider.
By the time the Jia family couldn't help but run out to find someone to argue, Butler Lin had already run away with his people, leaving only the pile of things and a group of enthusiastic people who loved to eat melons and watch the fun.
After Butler Lin returned home, he told Lin Ruhai what happened, which made him extremely happy.
Of course, there is another main reason for him to do this, which is to pave the way for severing diplomatic relations with the Jia family.
Originally, for the sake of Jia Min and Dai Yu, he wanted to be a normal relative of the Jia family, but when he met the Holy Sage and learned about the Holy Sage's plan, he no longer took any chances.
The Jia family is hopeless. He can no longer bring the Lin family in. If Jia Min really blames him when she goes underground in the future, then why don't he make amends to her?
Although the Jia family acted absurdly and recklessly, they still regarded their face as extremely important. After being made trouble by him, how could they dare to continue to plot against him, let alone invite him to visit the house for a chat, they simply pretended to be quail behind closed doors.
.
After Daiyu learned about this, she didn't say anything, but just cried again in the room.
No matter how harsh she said, it was still her maternal grandfather's house, and if the two families really got into trouble, she would inevitably feel a little sad.
