Chapter 363: Love in the Red Mansion is as Deep as the Sea 43

After searching the Jia Mansion and sending away a bunch of idle people, Jia Mu appointed Tanchun and Xichun as housekeepers for a very good reason, which needed to be trained:

"Knitting and needlework are just the basics for girls. Girls like us who are housekeepers must learn. Look at your second sister, she's doing quite well in learning from the eldest wife."

You won't be left in the dark after marrying in. And your sister Lin was able to manage the affairs of the Lin Mansion at a young age. You should learn from her too."

Mrs. Wang was not willing to be outdone and stuffed Xue Baochai into the team of housekeepers. Mrs. Wang was now determined to go all out since she had given birth to a pair of good children.

Her daughter is still a concubine in the palace, and no matter how dissatisfied Lady Jia is, she can't do anything to her for the sake of the family.

So the hard days began for the servants of the Jia family. The third and fourth girls, who were always in trouble, were already difficult enough to deal with, and now there was also Xue Baochai, who patrolled in a sedan chair every day.

These have little to do with Lin Ruhai. Lord Lin is now busy preparing a dowry for his daughter.

The dowry of a lady from a noble family is very particular. Even a bed is carefully selected. Lin Ruhai got the Huanghuali tree, which grows extremely slowly.

It is even more difficult to grow into timber, but this kind of wood can be used to make furniture for hundreds of years without deteriorating, and the patterns are beautiful and the smell is pleasant.

Huanghuali is also known as yellow sandalwood, so you can imagine how good it smells. It was very valuable in ancient times.

The Emperor had already granted the Third Prince a palace, and his title had been elevated to Prince Rui. The Lin family had already sent someone to measure the dimensions of the house.

The carpenter made furniture according to the size of the new house, the first of which was the Qiangong Babu bed, which Lin Ruhai had been preparing for a long time ago.

Not to mention the exquisiteness of a bed that took a thousand hours of work to make. Yangzhou was a place where many salt merchants gathered, and the beds made by thousands of workers in the south of the Yangtze River were even more exquisite.

The carpenter's labor for a bed alone cost two thousand taels of silver, which was a huge sum of money at any time.

All the furniture was made of huanghuali wood. It took a lot of time to collect these materials. Jia Min collected them while she was alive, and Lin Ruhai collected them for many years before he could get all the wood.

I also searched everywhere for clothing materials, and collected a lot of rare materials such as Shu brocade, Yunjin, Kesi, Xiangyunsha, and Snow Satin.

There are a lot of woolen clothes and various leathers prepared, not to mention jewelry and headwear. These things are more particular. They can't all be new, there must be a few inherited items to show the heritage.

Otherwise, the new family would think that the Lin family has no inheritance. The dowries of the Lin family's mistresses of all generations are all there, so it's not difficult to take out some of the inheritance.

Lin Ruhai has collected many gemstones through maritime trade over the years and selected the best and largest ones to make jewelry for his daughter.

What’s even more amazing is that Lin Ruhai also personally designed some modern cutting designs. The jewelry he made is so sparkling that it dazzles people’s eyes.

He also collected a lot of ornaments and antiques, as well as farms and shops. Lin Ruhai gave his daughter ten farms and ten houses and shops as gifts.

The smallest manor house had 500 mu of land. There were manors in the capital as well as the finest paddy fields in Jiangnan. Not to mention the shops, all of which were prosperous in the capital. Even the smallest house had two courtyards and was located in a prime location.

The most important thing was the silver in the box. Others stuffed silver in it, but Lin Ruhai stuffed gold in it. He stuffed a total of 50,000 taels of gold in the box.

This was still not enough, so he secretly gave his daughter a bill of exchange for 500,000 taels. Lin Ruhai touched his daughter's head and said with emotion:

"Yu'er has grown up, and will soon be married. This silver is given to you by your father for your own safety. Keep it. Marrying into the royal family is not what your father wants.

But even with the imperial decree, I'm in a difficult position. Life is often unhappy. I had hoped you would marry into a simple family.

But you are going to the Royal Family, a big melting pot where people are eaten without leaving any bones. But don't worry, Dad will definitely support you.

Money is a person's courage. Don't be reluctant to spend money in the royal family, and don't be wronged! Daddy is here to take care of everything!"

Lin Daiyu hugged her father and cried breathlessly. All the daughters of noble ministers in the court combined had a dowry that was not as big as hers. Her father had thought of everything for her:

"Don't worry, Daddy. I'm not someone you can easily bully. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If anyone dares to make life difficult for me, I'll make their whole family suffer!"

Lin Ruhai nodded with satisfaction: "To compromise is something that only incompetent people would do. You don't need to do that. Just live a good life with the Third Prince.

If he weren't a fool, he wouldn't have treated you unfairly!"

Lin Ruhai’s plan was that if the third prince was not a good-for-nothing who favored his concubine over his wife, then let him die!

Kill his emperor father first and then kill the third prince. It would be even better if the daughter gives birth to a son. Wouldn't it be great if she could be promoted directly to empress dowager?

If you can fight with words, never fight with fists. Words touch the soul, while fists touch the flesh! It's good for you, it's good for me, and it's good for everyone.

If you want your daughter to have a miserable life, then there is no need for you to exist!

The Third Prince, who was having dinner in the Queen's Palace, suddenly sneezed. The Queen said worriedly, "Sheng'er, have you caught a cold? Let the imperial physician take a look at you later."

Next year, after the girl from the Lin family reaches the age of marriage, you will be getting married. You can’t be careless about your health.

The marriage your father found for you is indeed a good one, but Miss Lin’s family is not very large. After your wedding, you must hurry up and give birth to more legitimate sons!

Although your father was born out of wedlock, he values ​​the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. The other women were just there to entertain, but only the child born by girl Lin is a legitimate son.

Without a legitimate son, your position in the previous dynasty would be unstable. Lin Ruhai is your father's confidant, and this marriage with Jian in the emperor's heart will be of great help to you."

The Third Prince smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mother. I can tell the difference between the important and the unimportant."

The queen handed her son a piece of braised spring bamboo shoots with chopsticks and said, "I just gave you some advice in vain. You have always known what is important."

The dowry Lin Ruhai prepared for his daughter was a real luxurious one. It was not easy for a daughter to see her parents again in her life after marrying into the royal family.

It wasn't easy being in the royal family, but Lin Daiyu had an unusual father. He prepared a variety of medicines for his daughter, including antidote pills and various poisonous spirit springs that could kill people without causing any harm.

They were all secretly stuffed into the storage bag left by the bald monk. Lin Daiyu was stunned when she got the storage bag.

Lin Ruhai coughed and said, "Yu'er, this is what your father gave you to save your life. Do you remember the bald monk who came to our house when you were four years old?

This is what the strange man left behind. It contains elixirs for detoxification, talismans for making children smart, poisons, and spiritual spring water for longevity. Take out all the money in the bill and put it in here.

Dad will give you another 500,000 taels. You can store some food in it. This will be your amulet!"
