241 Heartless

In the past, she always helped her aunt when things happened, and always thought of her well, but she didn't know that she was only using her in her heart, and didn't give her any sincerity.

What a contradiction!Thinking that she should also turn to him for the sake of the child, but who knows if her temperament can suppress the fire, if she takes everything out, it will make it ugly, and he still has no ability to show shame with them. , or wait!

Seeing Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng didn't know what he was thinking, and wanted to get off the kang to help him tidy his clothes, but he felt that he had just given him shame, so why did he go up and support him? She took it seriously, she had to take him no matter what.

The two were thinking about their own thoughts, and no one in the room spoke.Outside the house, Ping'er heard that there was no other movement in the house, and opened the curtain to come in, but she was taken aback. She never thought that Sister Feng was crying, what happened?Just because of Yuchuan, Jia Lian and Sister Feng didn't speak loudly outside, so Ping'er never knew the reason. Seeing Sister Feng crying, she didn't know what was wrong, and dared not talk nonsense.

He just stepped forward to tidy up Jia Lian's clothes and said, "Where is the jade bracelet from the second wife, and she said she wants to invite the master to talk. I'm afraid there is something wrong."

"Yes, I see." Jia Lian responded, straightened her clothes and went out with the curtain thrown.

Ping'er sent it to the gate of the courtyard, turned back, twisted a handkerchief, wiped Sister Feng's face and asked, "What's wrong with Grandma? Didn't you feel fine just now? Why are you crying again? But what did Second Master do outside?" Made you angry? Or did you shed tears when seeing the second master come back?"

"Hmph, why am I excited about him? Wouldn't it be better for him to die outside? You won't be angry with me. I'll just watch my eldest sister live my life. It's the same with him or without him." Sister Feng took the veil angrily. He wiped his face carelessly twice, then threw the handkerchief to Ping'er. "You don't have to say good things for him. If you go with him and serve him well, you don't have to come back to me."

"Look at what grandma said. When did I speak for the second master? When did I stop being one-hearted with grandma? I'm really wronged to death. I don't know what's going on, so I just got angry for nothing. You At least let me know what happened, right? But is the second master someone out there?" Ping'er could think of only one thing that made Sister Feng cry like this when Jia Lian came back, so I asked this question.

"Him? How can he have fewer people outside? If I cried because of this, I'm afraid I'd cry to death." Sister Feng got off the kang angrily and walked around the room twice, feeling more and more that the pressure in her heart couldn't come down. "You said that dead man, he changed his face if he said it properly. I didn't work hard at home for him. What did he do to show me face? I didn't say anything, so I lost my temper. It can be seen that after going out for two years, I haven't learned other skills, but this young master has learned a lot about his temper. Now he doesn't like me, and he has become a way to find fault with me. I have been a housekeeper with my wife for so many years, and I have never seen him say that What, his old lady is not his own, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t go there a few times, I haven’t seen him ask questions before. It can be seen that he is arrogant outside and doesn’t take me seriously. I don’t have me in my heart. That dead heartless person , and wait for him to come back at night, and see how I deal with him..."

Sister Feng chattered in circles.After listening for a long time, Ping'er didn't understand the main point. He thought it was the two of them who were in a hurry. It's not like this happened before, so he didn't care too much. After a few words of persuasion, he went out to prepare Jia Lian's favorite dishes. up.Thinking that it would be fine if they had a drink or two in the evening.

She would never do anything that would make Sister Feng take her affections.As for their second master, she has other ways. Did you hear that the less you can get, the better?She always uses Sister Feng's mouth to avoid him, and he will be more concerned about himself. If he clings to him every day, he will have left himself aside long ago, man!That's not all...

Jia Lian went to Mrs. Wang's place to salute and say hello, sat down to tea, and chatted for a while, but Mrs. Wang asked him how the past two years have been, and whether the journey has been safe and smooth.

Jia Lian naturally knew what Mrs. Wang wanted to ask, but he didn't follow her to lead the topic in that direction. He answered whatever Mrs. Wang asked, and even pretended to be very tired to shorten the answers to the shortest.If he hadn't remembered that Uncle Lin taught him to avoid the edge when he was weak, he wouldn't be here today, what is he?

Mrs. Wang went around in a big circle, but she didn't ask any questions. Seeing Jia Lian's spirit was also sluggish, as if she was going to be too tired to get up and leave soon, she simply didn't go around and asked directly, "Lien'er , you went to Yangzhou this time, where is your Uncle Lin handling things well?"

"What did Auntie ask? It should all go well! Auntie Lao is very concerned about it."

Mrs. Wang was taken aback, thought for a while and asked, "Then the people from the Lin family didn't bother Miss Yu? They didn't try to fight over the property of the Lin family?"

"Ah? Auntie is referring to this? If so, the Lin family has already had a relationship with Uncle Lin for five years. How could it be their turn to fight for property? Uncle Lin lent them the old house of the Lin family in Gusu for ethnology studies. , and promised one-third of the income from the sacrificial fields for flowers, which is enough to be worthy of them, and it is reasonable everywhere. Besides, everyone in the south of the Yangtze River knows that the Lin family has no money, so why should they fight for it? " Jia Lian knew that this was what Mrs. Wang was going to ask, and when she saw her asking without any concealment, she still felt contemptuous in her heart.

"What does it mean that the Lin family is down and out? The Lin family has been a noble for several generations, and the population is small. Your uncle Lin is in that position, how did you fall to that level? Lian'er, don't let others deceive you." These words She had also heard it from Mother Jia. She didn't know whether Mother Jia believed it or not, but she didn't believe it. She didn't know how much money the Lin family had, but she knew that it would definitely not be missing. It's all worth the money!It's also my fault that she exchanged those things with worthless ones, and she also made an excuse that the Lin family is probably a noble family. These years, it is not as good as it used to be. Now that Jia's mother has no doubts about the Lin family's affairs, she has no excuses. Go and check it out.

"Auntie, what are you talking about? I helped deal with my uncle's shops and properties, and I also helped sell the things in the warehouse. How can anyone know better than me? Who would lie to me about this?" Me? At that time, it was sold for more than one hundred thousand silver. But in the past two years, my uncle has been seeking medical treatment and medicine, and he used all the best ginseng and other medicinal materials to hang his life. A few roots of ginseng are needed, not to mention other medicines. In addition to the flowers used by those in the mansion, although the servants have been reduced a lot, it is still money. There are also pens and inks used by the scholars in the backyard to copy books. For expenses, I take care of their food every month and add a monthly bill. Seeing that there are not many people, but there are too many people copying books! Such one or two expenses are like running water. When the uncle’s funeral is over, those There is nothing left in the money, if I hadn’t met a friend who lent us a boat, I would have posted money as travel expenses if I couldn’t come back!”

Jia Lian didn't blush at all when he said these words. Although Lin Ruhai asked him to help the housekeeper with the one hundred thousand taels of silver, he was only in charge of the money spent by the scholars in the outer courtyard and the money spent by the scholars in the backyard. Lin Ruhai took all the money.He didn't spend much in the past two years.Lin Ruhai's funeral was even more reduced, and the most expensive coffin was prepared. Although he helped Zhang Luo, he didn't spend much money.

Now he still has 8 to [-] taels of silver bills. Of course, he is not greedy. Although he himself spent a lot of money in Yangzhou, he also made some money by selling things to the Lin family. It can be seen that Lin Ruhai is Sincerely treat him well, he also offered to return the money to Lin Ruhai, but Lin Ruhai pushed him not to, and asked him to help take care of the family, and spend it from here.

Jia Lian also figured it out. Lin Ruhai probably still has a lot of money in his hands, so he doesn't care about him. To put it bluntly, the money was given to him for nothing, and he was asked to help take care of the Lin family and Lin Daiyu, so he took it. Not guilty, at this time speaking in front of Mrs. Wang is even more confident and unambiguous.

"The family has reached such a level, why do those scholars still need to copy books?" Mrs. Wang frowned, more and more confused about the meaning of this.

"It's what my uncle meant. He couldn't let go of the collection of books at home when he was ill. Sister Lin is also filial. She wanted to take this opportunity to pray for Uncle Lin. Although I helped my sister manage the house with the money, I can't help others It’s not up to me, I’ll do what they say!” In fact, Jia Lian also felt sorry for the money, and gave it to others for nothing, just to gain a good reputation?What's the use of copying those books?He really couldn't figure it out.

Mrs. Wang also couldn't understand these things, but she didn't call Jia Lian here to discuss with him whether it was right to invite those scholars. She looked at Jia Lian, her eyes became more and more serious, and she asked, "Don't fool me, those shops, fields, etc. , plus the things in the storehouse were only sold for two dollars? Don’t say anything else, just say that the dowry brought by your aunt is a lot of money! The Lin family has no separate family, and the dowry of several generations of mistresses It’s not only this number, let alone other things.” After saying that, he put the cup heavily on the table, “Don’t hide it from me, just tell me to pay it back, or I can sue your grandmother to let you She'll try you out and see if you've done anything wrong to your poor sister."

Jia Lian hated secretly, thinking that this old woman is really hateful, who is this being judged for?Not to mention that he didn't do anything too outrageous, even if he did, it wouldn't be her turn to interrogate him!Still using my grandmother to pressure me, isn't it because my grandmother favors their second wife?
