Chapter 30 The Red Chamber (30)(2/3)
Lin Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief, that's good.
The emperor saw that Tianfang came to the palace at night and brought a little tail with him. He saw that he was Lin Ruhai's son. He smiled and said, "Why are you here together?"
The emperor knew that Wen Tianfang had some friendship with the Lin family. Wen Tianfang stepped forward and told Lin Yutong's original intention and many coincidences. Then he put down the two hundred thousand taels of silver.
"This daughter of the Lin family is quite lucky." The emperor said calmly.
These words make people unable to hear joy or anger.
Lin Yuyang knelt down and kowtowed: "This boy is only two months younger than my sister, but he was raised by her. My sister is seven or eight years old and walks around the streets holding a pickle jar. Because of this, we siblings are not
I could freeze to death and starve to death. I bought a family property and provided for my son to study and be sensible. After that, he was taken home by his father. Only then did his life really settle down. Only then did he realize what luxury is. With so much money
, how can I not be tempted? But once I am tempted, I don’t feel at ease with what I get.”
The emperor nodded, what he said was true. How could a child who had been accustomed to poverty since childhood not be moved when he saw this kind of money? But he should be a responsible person who knows how to feel uneasy with it. Lin Ruhai's two children are both
He is considered to be a very lucky person. He was born and grew up safely under such circumstances, and even returned to the Lin family smoothly. And he has not grown crooked yet. So what if this is not luck.
So I took a look at Wen Tianfang. He was a minister whom he relied on very much. But he was not a lucky person. He had lost his father, his mother, and even all his relatives. He was truly a lone star of evil.
Wen Tianfang smiled bitterly, he also died early in his previous life. It's okay not to mention this fate.
The emperor looked at Lin Yuyang and suddenly asked: "How old are you this year?"
"I'll tell you, Your Majesty, I'm thirteen this year." Lin Yuyang replied in confusion.
"That means it's fourteen after the New Year, right?" The emperor asked again.
Lin Yuyang nodded in agreement, but felt more and more puzzled in his heart.
The emperor glanced at Wen Tianfang: "You have celebrated the 19th of the New Year, right?"
Wen Tianfang's heart moved, and he understood what the emperor meant. He was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry. But he still said yes.
The emperor smiled slightly and said, "Let's do whatever we want to do with this business."
Lin Yuyang felt relieved. This meant that the Lin family was allowed to continue, but the money still had to be handed over. So he said, "If anything happens, I will ask my uncle." He meant to give the money to Wen Tianfang and ask him to hand it over.
The emperor nodded, "Go ahead. I won't let you eat anymore."
The two of them left the palace. Lin Yuyang thought about it. The emperor didn't ask about his age, but the age of his sister. He said that his sister was only two months older than him. Then he asked Jing Haibo
His age was very obvious, and he meant to match her. It’s just that his father was in Jiangnan now, so he didn’t mention it.
Wen Tianfang was a loner in his last life until his death. This was the first time in his life that someone mentioned marriage to him. They all said that he had a hard life and he had no hope.
But if there really is such a person with a compatible destiny, who would want to be alone?
Seeing Lin Yuyang looking at him with an appraising look, he actually felt a little nervous.
"I won't go to your house with my uncle. My sister is still waiting." Lin Yuyang felt unhappy. This time he really suffered a big loss. Not only did he get money into it, but he also almost got people into it.
It doesn't matter if you can't think about it. If you think about it together, you really can't stop it. Otherwise there is a saying, 'Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, be afraid of thieves missing you'.
"You're just trying to burn bridges, kid." Wen Tianfang looked at the man who was expected to become his brother-in-law with a wry smile.
"My sister at home is really waiting for me." Lin Yuyang's face darkened, and then he looked up and down again, and he seemed to match her appearance.
Lin Yutong was restless at home. Hearing that Lin Yuyang was back, he hurried out to greet him.
"How?" Lin Yutong asked hurriedly.
"Okay." Lin Yuyang replied simply.
Others didn't know what riddle the siblings were playing, but Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eat quickly, you must be starving." Lin Yutong took his brother back to the house, "The elbow stewed with ham today tastes great..."
Lin Yuyang nodded in agreement. There was nothing his sister cooked that was not to his taste.
After eating, Lin Yuyang explained the matter simply. He did not ask about his age, and also concealed the matter that the emperor wanted to match. One was that the emperor did not say it clearly. The other was that his father was not here. The third was that
I'm afraid that my sister will think nonsense.
Seeing that Lin Yutong was relieved, Lin Yuyang then ordered Lin Ping to find a suitable person to send a message to Lin Ruhai and pass on the emperor's wishes.
Lin Yutong didn't know all this. He just took care of the business with peace of mind. There were people supporting him, so Lin Yutong didn't worry about being remembered at all.
After such a busy time, it was already early summer by the time the garden was finished.
After recovering his capital, he kept 80,000 taels. After hard work, he only got 50,000 taels, and divided 30,000 taels between the shopkeeper and the clerk. Wang Xifeng got 60,000 taels of silver.
But thinking that the emperor had received more than one million taels of silver from his family, how could he look at Lin Ruhai and his younger brother more favorably, and felt that everything was worth it.
After all, during this period, the emperor summoned Lin Yuyang twice more. Whether it was because Lin Ruhai did a good job or his own money was effective, Lin Yutong expressed satisfaction.
What makes Lin Yutong even more satisfied is that the silver she withheld is not a printed ticket, but a silver ingot. It is extremely convenient to store it in the space, whether it is used in this life or in the next time travel.
My heart also became more at ease.
After the garden was built, Lin Yutong lost a lot of weight, and Wang Xifeng lost even more weight than her.
On this day, Wang Xifeng came over and discussed how to use the money.
Lin Yutong said: "I want to buy more land and entrust someone to take care of it."
"How much money can you get from this?" Wang Xifeng couldn't help but be disdainful, but then added, "But this idea is familiar to you, everyone has told me so."
Of course it's Qin Keqing. Sometimes the words of the dead are more useful than those of the living. If I ask her to remember it now, I'm afraid she will think more.
So he said: "If that's the case, who is telling you if you are not someone close to me?"
Wang Xifeng was stunned, and an idea flashed in her mind. The dream she had the night Qin Keqing left. Now, the 'very happy event' in the dream no longer existed. Then she remembered the words 'a moment of prosperity, a moment of joy' and
The attributive of 'the feast must disperse'.
Suddenly I felt my heartbeat speeding up and my blood flowing backwards.
A deceased person's instructions were very similar to Lin Yutong's hints.
If the dead man's words are not to be believed, then since Lin Yutong knew about the marriage proposal in advance, he must have the source of the information. It is impossible to know anything else. Otherwise, who would say such unlucky words on a happy day.
If I hadn't been sincere to myself, I'm afraid I wouldn't have let it slip.
"Is there any solution?" Wang Xifeng asked anxiously.
Lin Yutong lowered his eyes and said nothing, and Wang Xifeng understood. Her face turned pale and she said: "There is still some time. You have to allow me to make arrangements."
Lin Yutong nodded slightly: "Your hands must be clean. Otherwise, it will be really hard to save the immortal."
Wang Xifeng stood up and saluted, "My sister and I have a life-saving grace."
Lin Yutong stopped him and said, "Let's make more good connections. Maybe we can use them in the future."
Wang Xifeng then said goodbye and left in a daze.
Lin Yutong sighed, he was still soft-hearted. That was all he could help now.
Lin Daiyu came out of the inner room, her eyes still swollen. "Thank you, sister. You have given the Jia family a hand."
With the tens of thousands of taels of silver that Sister Feng has saved in her family, she can buy a lot of land and estates. The people in this family will not fall into a filthy situation.
Lin Yutong smiled and said nothing. No one who is guilty can escape. The innocent must be given a chance to survive.
She put aside this matter in her heart and enjoyed the short-term prosperity to her heart's content.
On this day, Lin Yu, Yang Muxiu and the unprecedented Jia Zheng invited people to come and visit the garden together.
Lin Yuyang was summoned by the emperor one after another, and the Jia family naturally started to pay attention to it.
Before leaving, Lin Yutong said, "If you meet Jia Baoyu, please give in. The second master also wants to show off his son through the exam. Don't steal the limelight."
"I have never been spiritual in poetry. My sister will really give me a pat on the back." Lin Yuyang smiled and didn't care, "Let's just take a look at the scenery and take it easy for a day."
They sent Lin Yuyang off here, but Lin Daiyu said on the other side: "Baoyu may not go. He has always been afraid to meet his second uncle. Besides, a good friend of his has just died. He is very sad."
Lin Yutong said in his heart that he was afraid that he was talking about Qin Zhong's death. He said: "If you go, you will go. You have done your best. How can you still be sad? Then the people around you can't persuade you. You don't have to
Worry."
When Lin Yuyang came back, he sighed: "That Baoyu is indeed more talented than others in terms of poetry. I can't compare. If the second master could not blindly insist on letting him take the imperial examination, I wonder if he will be a
There are some famous people who are famous in poetry. Many famous people are not like this. Why bother to stick to one path?"
Lin Yutong could only smile at these words. If Jia Baoyu were in the Lin family, with Lin Ruhai's temperament, he might really be able to cultivate a romantic and uninhibited celebrity.
However, these words caught Lin Daiyu's attention. After a while, she stood up and said she would go to the old lady's place for a walk.
Lin Yutong seldom went there except when necessary. When he saw Lin Daiyu going, he just asked the girls to serve her carefully. But here, he heard Lin Yuyang talking about the scenery in the garden. After a while, he became fascinated.
But it was said that Daiyu took the girl to Jia Mu's house and heard laughter and laughter inside.
It turned out that he was happy because he knew that Jia Baoyu answered well in front of Jia Zheng. The whole room was also lively.
Thinking that Xiangyun was coming this time and had never met before, he went around to Xiangyun's house first. But he didn't want to lift the curtain and saw Shi Xiangyun pulling Jia Baoyu's arm, "Take the purse I made for you. It's
Didn't anyone touch it?"
Jia Baoyu searched for it himself, but couldn't find it, and said: "Maybe I didn't bring it with me today. Why are you unjustly accusing me?"
Unexpectedly, Shi Xiangyun's quick hands somehow opened Baoyu's clothes, revealing a delicate purse.
Daiyu took a quick look and knew that this was a gift she had given to Baoyu in her early years. She didn't expect that he would treasure it so much. She felt unspeakable for a moment.
