Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 441 Who is missing?

At this time, Zhou Rui's wife, who had been waiting on the side, also seized the opportunity and walked up to Qingwen.

Kneel down before her.

"Qingwen! I'm sorry for you. I almost killed you."

After saying this, he burst into tears.

Qingwen didn't want to pay any attention to her at all.

What are you talking about? She can’t be forgiven, but she is at best a dog of Mrs. Wang.

Now that I'm living with Miss Lin, I don't want to be involved in the past anymore.

He just turned around and left with his people.

If you want to kneel, then kneel. It’s you who kneels and it’s you who stands up. It has nothing to do with me.

In this way, the Lin family returned with a full load this time.

……

When Zhou Ruijia saw the Lin family members leave, she also wiped her tears and stood up.

Said to Granny Liu, "Where are we going?"

Granny Liu handed her family's deeds to her.

"Mrs. Zhou, you can go wherever you want."

"This is my way of repaying your kindness in helping me."

"I am a peasant and cannot afford a servant like you."

"I have a few ounces of silver here. You can find a family you know to stay with."

"Wait for Auntie to come out."

"I've also inquired about it, and they say he's innocent and will be released in the next few days."

After saying this, Granny Liu also left with Ban'er.

A year's plan begins in spring, and farmers cannot afford to waste spring.

……

Zhou Ruijia stood there in a daze, holding his family's indenture and a few taels of silver in his hand.

While waiting for Mrs. Wang to come out, can she still support her family?

The spring breeze carries the willow catkins for ten miles. Where do they fly to?

She was very confused.

……

Three days later, Zhou Rui's family, who were staying in the temple, were waiting at the gate of Dali Temple early.

They have already inquired and those who have no problem today have been released.

At the same time, she also saw several maids here, including Shishu, Xiu Ju, etc.

But with at most one young lady and one young master, it seemed that she would not have two maids left.

Everyone's fortunes have been scattered!

There are also people from the Xue family, and it seems they are waiting for the Xue mother and daughter.

……

Sure enough, just after dawn, light shone on the gate of Dali Temple.

People were released one after another.

The first to come out were Sanchun and others, and they didn't seem to have suffered too much.

She looked a little haggard, and all the hairpins and rings on her head were gone, leaving only a simple wooden hairpin.

The secretary came forward, hugged Jia Tanchun and started crying.

Xiu Ju also walked up to Yingchun and shed tears silently.

And Ruhua came to help Xichun carry her whisk and Buddhist beads.

……

Everyone looked around and saw that everyone was now extremely poor.

Sobbing, crying and greetings were heard everywhere.

The next people to come out were Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Youshi, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and others. Ping'er also brought her eldest sister out.

Then came Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Lady Jia.

……

Everyone wiped their eyes as if they saw the blue sky again.

"Are they all out?"

Mrs. Xing asked.

Mrs. Wang glared at her.

"My sister hasn't come out yet!"

Mrs. Xing muttered something.

"Everyone is hungry, why are they so slow? They are not in a hurry at all."

"There's nothing good to stay in there. The men will be released in the afternoon."

……

I cursed in my heart, thinking that I had suffered a huge loss this time and all these years of work had been in vain.

She asked Wang Shan to take back the silver hidden at home.

Almost all the money in the accounts was searched out and used to make up for the deficit.

The reason why they came out these few days later is to fill the hole.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Wang Xifeng, because she had the most losses.

Her face looked pale and bloodless.

……

At this time, Jia's mother asked again, "How many people have not come out yet?"

"Madam, our young lady hasn't come out yet." A timid voice came.

When Jia's mother looked, she saw that it was Shi Xiangyun's maid Cuilu.

Grandmother Jia's face changed slightly. The Shi family really didn't want Shi Xiangyun anymore. Logically, the Shi family had not been implicated yet.

It would be possible to get Shi Xiangyun out earlier.

After all, Shi Xiangyun is not a member of the Jia family.

Mrs. Wang said unhappily, "None of the Xue family has come out yet!"

She turned her head and glanced at the Xue family's carriage parked on the side of the road.

I saw Xue Ke and Xue Baoqin from the Xue family also standing beside the carriage, looking out frequently.

……

Mrs. Wang’s brows furrowed more and more.

At this moment, she suddenly discovered that it seemed that every master had a maid by his side.

I have no maids here, only Zhou Rui's.

She quietly asked Zhou Ruijia, "What's going on?"

Zhou Rui's wife then quietly told the story of the sale a few days ago. These girls were all bought by the Lin family, and they didn't know what to do with them now.

I am now a free man and I have not forgotten my old master, so I am waiting here for Madam Wang to arrive.

Mrs. Wang looked at her thoughtfully and nodded. Mrs. Zhou Rui was still more loyal.

It's really frustrating to see a large group of people waiting here in vain.

It is really puzzling. In the case of the Jia family, the people of the Jia family came out, but the people of the Xue family and the Shi family did not come out.

……

At this time, Xue Ke from the Xue family may have become impatient and came over to ask,

"Excuse me, Madam, why haven't my aunt and cousin come out yet?"

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly and replied,

"I don't know either. We were not detained together. Didn't you run around for them during the past few days when you were outside?"

Xue Ke also looked embarrassed.

"We have just arrived in the capital a few days ago, and we don't know many people."

"Ask the shopkeeper."

"He said to wait for news."

"I also went to look for Lord Jia Yucun, but I couldn't see him at all."

"We finally found out that your family would be released today, so we came here early to wait."

When everyone heard this, they felt heavy and uncertain.

At this moment,

Suddenly, Mrs. Xing shouted, "What? I gave you fifty taels of silver."

"Enough for what?"

Grandmother Jia shouted at her,

"What is this place? What are you shouting for?"

Mrs. Xing then said to Lady Jia with a bitter face,

"Mother, this lady is so cruel. We, the maids, were all bought by the Lin family. They asked us to come and pick us up, and they gave each of us fifty taels of silver."

"Let us find our own place to eat and live."

"Isn't this leaving us hungry?"

Everyone then realized the problem. Food and lodging cost money, so they hurriedly asked their maids.

Yuanyang took out her own fifty taels and whispered to Lady Jia,

“Madam, Auntie said that if you agree to go to the Lin family.”

"I'll let her know and she'll send a car to pick you up right away."

"But the rest of us have to fend for ourselves."

Grandmother Jia's face turned serious.

"Nonsense, how are these girls going to make a living?"

Having said this, she also looked at Sanchun and others.

The mandarin duck said bitterly,

"Madam, we also work for the Lin family."
