Because she was in mourning, she stopped going out after arriving at her hometown in Gusu. Butler Lin arranged everything, including meeting the clan leader and choosing a tomb.
Mrs. Liu is a concubine, and according to the rules, she cannot be buried in the ancestral grave. Housekeeper Lin chose a geomantic treasure place not far from the Lin family's ancestral grave, just for Jiusi's sake, otherwise she would just be buried anywhere.
fate.
Lin Jiusi had nothing to say about this. Society was like this, so it was useless for her to have opinions.
After Mrs. Liu was buried, Butler Lin was finished with his work. After giving her a few words, he went back with two of his close aides.
After Butler Lin left, she built a straw hut next to Liu's grave to observe her mourning. However, she only stayed there for about a year before Lin Ruhai sent someone to take her back to the Lin family on the grounds that she was seriously ill.
After so long, she actually couldn't remember much about the book Red Mansions, but she probably guessed something. At this time, Lin Ruhai probably wasn't sick, but those in power wanted his life.
If Lin Ruhai can no longer hold on, the Jia family will definitely not miss this opportunity. Her return this time must be related to the matter with the capital, but she is not Lin Daiyu. As early as when she was observing the filial piety, she had already sent puppets to the capital.
Investigating the news, all the evidence is now available.
Sure enough, the Lin Ruhai she saw when she returned was really poisoned to the bone. Her body, which was considered average back then, was now not only skinny but skinny, her complexion was also white and green, and even the color of her lips had changed, and they were faintly purple.
Although the poisoning was deep, she could still save him with her ability, but she had to listen to his arrangements first.
"Looking at my father's face, he is so anxious to call his daughter back. I'm afraid he has something to explain!"
Seeing that she had guessed it, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "My son is really smart, and my father really has something to tell you. I hope you can go to Beijing to go to Jia's house. First, the old lady sent a letter, and second, I want to tell you something."
Your sister Daiyu has entrusted her to you, I wonder if you can agree?"
Hearing this, Jiusi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked: "If I guessed correctly, the old lady would have sent you a letter long ago. Why did you just think of sending it to me now?"
"Yes, just when I was about to pick you up, the Jia family sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Daiyu was a little lonely in the Jia family and wanted you to accompany her. But at that time, you were too murderous, and I was afraid that you would risk your life.
Sending you away would cause big trouble, so I wanted to wait until you had observed your three years of filial piety, but now I am afraid that my father’s body can’t wait that long, so I have to take you back in advance.”
It's okay if he didn't say this, but Jiusi felt a little unhappy when he said it. It still depends on when my murderous intention will start. It's really speechless.
Because she was unhappy in her heart, she no longer hesitated to speak: "Oh, I think I am murderous, but you are not murderous, but you are all harmed by the Jia family and have no good ending." After that, she took out the words from her sleeves.
He took out a pile of information and threw it on the table.
"Look, this is what your good-in-law's family did. Whether it's the legitimate daughter you fostered in their family or the things you borrowed from them to offer, none of them are good."
Seeing that there was something in her words, Lin Ruhai picked up the stack of paper and started reading.
The first half is a gift list that Jia Min has sent to Jia's family over the years. There are things he secretly offered, and there are also things Jia Min used to subsidize her parents' family. What he didn't expect was that some of them were gifts from the emperor. If this was the case,
If the Holy One finds out, he will be beheaded.
In addition, there were also those things he wanted to offer, but most of them were secretly kept by the Jia family. No wonder the emperor and the emperor couldn't tolerate him and wanted to trap him to death in Yangzhou.
Going back further, it all happened after Daiyu came to Beijing. After she got off the boat, the people who went to pick her up were a few rough ladies and not a serious master. She entered through the corner door used by the servants, but the Xue family
When a merchant goes there, the door is wide open.
And after entering the mansion, it was even more ridiculous. It was the filial piety period for the aunt in the mansion. It didn’t matter that there was no one in plain clothes. They were all dressed up in bright colors and did not take into account that Daiyu was in the filial piety period and what else.
Ginseng Yangrong Pills are made from useless ginseng, and Daiyu went there to beat the autumn wind...
But the thing that he couldn't accept the most was that Daiyu actually lived with Jia Baoyu in the old lady's blue gauze cupboard.
Before Daiyu came to Beijing, he had already discussed with the old lady. Considering that it would be inconvenient for Daiyu to go there during her mourning period, he would arrange a separate courtyard for her to observe her mourning with peace of mind. He even gave her tens of thousands of taels of silver for this purpose.
After passing the vote, he was afraid that Daiyu would cause trouble to the Jia family. As a result, the old lady just didn't say a word about it. Instead, she actually arranged such an arrangement to ruin his daughter's reputation. He was really angry.
As I was thinking about it, my blood surged, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
When Jiusi saw this, he was afraid that he would be really angry to death, so he quickly stuffed a pill into his mouth, patted him on the back and said, "What are you doing? If you are angry, just go to Jia's house. If you are really angry,
I’m so angry that people can’t say it was me, an unfilial daughter, who did it!”
After a while, Lin Ruhai calmed down.
He waved his hand to indicate to Jiu Si that he was fine, and then he weakly stated his plan: "This matter is due to my father's lack of consideration and harmed your sister. However, your sister Daiyu cannot really destroy Najia's family.
Since Daiyu is still young, there is still room for maneuver in this matter. My father wants you to go to Beijing to bring her back now. Even if you can't bring her back, you must choose a remote yard to live in, as far away from Jia Baoyu as you can.
how far."
"It's okay to let me go to Beijing, but what's the benefit to me?
Just because I am your daughter, I cannot help you save your other daughter. Don't forget, her mother has a murderous grudge against me."
Lin Ruhai heard this and pointed to the two boxes placed on the table: "In one of these two boxes, there is the deed of the farm land and other property deeds, including the deeds of the manager and other servants.
One of them is the remaining money of the Lin family, I can hand it over to you, how about it?"
Jiusi opened the two boxes and looked at them. After confirming that what he said was true, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "If I didn't ask you for any benefits, would you still give these things to me?"
"Yes, because these things are originally prepared for you sisters, but your sister is too weak-tempered to keep these things, so I want you to keep them. When she gets married in the future, just give her some dowry.
But now you need to keep her, so why not give it to you? It is better to give it to you than to fall into the hands of the Jia family."
"Why don't you just send someone to bring her back? Wouldn't it be more convenient?"
"My father is already trapped in Yangzhou. I can't drag you sisters in here to wait to die together. You can leave for the capital in a few days!"
Jiusi wanted to say something more, but he looked tired, so he could only nod his head "yes"...
In fact, according to her opinion, rather than handing these things to her, it would be better to donate them directly to the emperor to replenish the treasury. This would not only solve the problem of the emptiness of the treasury, but also show his loyalty and maybe save his life.
