The Red Mansion's Doting Wife Maniac

"Everyone has their own fate, presumably the Jia family intends to marry the Shi family, so you don't have to think too much." Chen Yun said in relief.

Daiyu hummed, "After all, I have already left Jia's mansion. My father said that he is only staying with ordinary relatives. If he invites me to be a guest, I can go if I want to. If I don't want to go, I can refuse. Don't feel wronged."

"Look, it's your parents who love you the most in this world." Chen Yun excused.

Daiyu said with crooked eyebrows, "Not only, but also Brother Yunyun."

"Uh..." Chen Yun took a choke, and then smiled, "Of course, I love you too."

As the two looked at each other, Chen Yun's figure gradually became transparent, and Dai Yu hurriedly said, "See you next time."

Before Chen Yun could reply, he had already gone back.

Opening his eyes, there was a book in front of him. He stood up, and something slipped from his body. When he saw it, it was a coat.

"woke up?"

When Chen Yunxian's voice came, Chen Yunjue sat up straight immediately, and looked forward, Chen Yunxian was sitting at the round table in his study, holding a book in his hand, and he didn't know how long he had been sitting here.

"Brother..." Chen Yun was a little embarrassed.

It was not his intention to 'sleep' in the past, but it was very embarrassing to be caught by his elder brother.

Chen Yunxian put down the book and sighed, "You've been too tired recently, so go to bed earlier today, don't stay up late to study."

Chen Yun was a little surprised that he was not scolded. He blinked, "Brother?"

"I just came to see you. I didn't expect you to fall asleep. Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you. You have really worked hard recently." Chen Yunxian patted him on the shoulder and said.

Not knowing why, Chen Yun breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, brother."

"Tomorrow's school exam is postponed until the day after tomorrow. You should have a good rest these few days." After finishing speaking, Chen Yunxian left.

Chen Yun sat there for a while, feeling a little hungry, and looking at the sky, it was already dark.

"Second Master, do you want to serve dinner?" the servant asked as he entered the room.

Chen Yun put down the book, "Set the meal."

He was also really hungry.

After dinner, Chen Yun borrowed a stroll in the garden to digest food, took a shower and changed clothes when he came back, and then went to bed.

The next morning, Chen Yun continued to practice physical skills for an hour, then took a bath and changed into a green shirt, and went to the academy with a bookcase on his back.

……

Lin Fu...

Daiyu got up in the morning, changed her clothes and washed her clothes, and waited for Yuyan to comb her hair before saying, "Yuyan, go and call both the red sparrow and the white sparrow."

In the past, when Daiyu was studying in Yangzhou, she had two accompanying maids, Dan Que and Bai Que.

Both Danque and Baique are the sons of the Lin family. Because Lin Ruhai valued Daiyu, he invited a Jinshi who had been an official to teach Daiyu to study, and felt that it was inappropriate for Daiyu to study with a foreigner from Jia Yucun, so he had children at home again. Picked two clever girls to study with Daiyu, so that Daiyu would not be lonely when studying alone.

Both Dan Que and Bai Que are the daughters of the stewards of the house. Since they followed Daiyu, they have abandoned their original names.

These two accompanying maids are already smart, and they had the opportunity to study with Daiyu. They are literate, and their loyalty to Daiyu goes without saying. People like them can only be slaves for generations. , can follow Daiyu to study, already Sansheng is lucky.

Earlier, when Chen Yun said that he would choose two loyal maids to teach the new bookkeeping method, Daiyu immediately thought of the two maids who accompanied her.

In terms of loyalty, these two maidservants are the sons of the family. In terms of intelligence, they are also literate, so it is easier to teach them.

As for Yuyan and Xueyan, although these two are also the sons of the family, they have never studied, so Daiyu excluded them.

Danque and Baique are indeed smart, and after Daiyu taught them two more times, they learned it.

Although they don't know how this new bookkeeping method came about, they have all read books and even learned that it is beneficial to them, so they are more grateful to Daiyu.

Daiyu asked them to re-copy the account books in the box according to the new bookkeeping method, write down any mistakes and omissions, and hand them to her after finishing.

Bookkeeping is indeed a complicated job. It took Daiyu three or four days to read it before, and it will take even more time to transcribe it with the new bookkeeping method.

Fortunately, there are two people who can share the burden with each other. Even so, it still took half a month to sort it out.

Daiyu looked through the account book of the new bookkeeping method, and found that there was a full 10 taels of silver in the account.

You know, ten taels of silver is enough for a family of three to live for a year. What does 10 taels of silver represent?It can feed [-] families for a year.

Daiyu's face was extremely ugly. It was less than two years since her mother died, and these servants were so impatient to empty out her mother's dowry?

The previous method of bookkeeping was too complicated, and Daiyu struggled to sort it out. She only knew that there was a problem with the account, but she didn't know that there was such a large amount of difference, which was beyond her ability to handle.

Daiyu asked people to bring all the new and old account books, and followed her to see her father.

Lin Ruhai happened to be taking a rest today, and when he was practicing calligraphy in the study, someone came to report, and Daiyu came to him.

He put down his pen and asked Daiyu to come in.

Unexpectedly, Daiyu brought three or four boxes, and Dan Que and Bai Que who followed also held ledgers in their hands.

"Yu'er, what are you?"

Daiyu's eyes were red, and she bowed her knees, "I also ask my father to be the master for my mother."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai's complexion changed slightly. He came out from behind the case and helped Daiyu up, "What's the matter? Get up and talk."

Lin Ruhai led Daiyu to sit down at the table in the study, "What wronged you? Why are you still related to your mother?"

"Last time my father asked the steward to hand over my mother's dowry to me, and I asked the stewards to show me the account books, but I didn't know that the accounts were not correct. The way these accounts are kept is too complicated, and my daughter only felt that the amount was wrong, so I asked for advice. I met the second son of the Chen family when I went to Tanzhe Temple with Aunt Song last time.

He taught me the new bookkeeping method, and I taught Dan Que and Bai Que to copy all the books using the new bookkeeping method, but there was a full 10 taels of silver that couldn't be counted. "

Lin Ruhai has been busy with government affairs recently, and he was the one who led her daughter to go to Tanzhe Temple with the girl from the Song family last time. After she came back, her daughter also told her who she met, but she didn't expect her daughter to still have contact with the son of the Chen family.

Accidents are accidents, but now is not the time to pursue this.

Jia Min's dowry shop had more than 10 taels of silver, he was so shocked.

He picked up the ledger and looked through it, only to find a string of numbers on it, "This is..."

"This is Arabic numerals, a number popular in the West." Daiyu explained the new bookkeeping method to Lin Ruhai.

What does Lin Ruhai do?He is also an expert in account management. Whether he is the censor of salt inspection or the current servant of the household department, he has always been doing account management.

Even if it's the old bookkeeping method, he can figure it out clearly, let alone this new bookkeeping method?

After figuring it out, Lin Ruhai asked in surprise, "This new bookkeeping method was figured out by the second son of the Chen family?"

This is incredible!

This accounting method alone is enough for Chen Yun to gain a firm foothold in the household department.

"Brother Chen said so." Daiyu borrowed Chen Yun's confession, also intending to win Chen Yun's favor in front of her father.

Lin Ruhai looked at the account book and sighed, "It seems that when I visit Xianwen next time, I can see him."

Daiyu didn't speak.

Lin Ruhai closed the ledger, "Just put the ledger here with me first, and I'll take care of them after I read it. You just pretend you don't know anything about this, understand?"

"My daughter understands."

Lin Ruhai wanted to bear the consequences of offending Rongguo's government for her.

After all, most of Jia Min's dowry shops were dowries from Jia's family. These people were all related to the servants of Jia's family. It can be said that it affects the whole body, and Rong Guogong's mansion will definitely know.

This time, Lin Ruhai didn't plan to clean up these servants quietly by himself. He called the big housekeeper and asked him to check the accounts, and then went to investigate the problematic shops to collect all the evidence.

Lin Ruhai only had one day off for the holiday, and he spent all of it on these ledgers. After reading the ledgers, he was also very angry.

When the chief steward presented the evidence in front of him, Lin Ruhai didn't even think about it, so he asked the chief steward to take the evidence to Shuntian Mansion to sue these slaves for taking his dead wife's dowry.

The master sues the slave, and if the evidence is conclusive, it is true that one accusation is true.

In these dowry shops like Jia Min, more than half of the stewards have unclean hands.

They all coveted Jia Min's dowry, bought houses for themselves, bought women, and bought private property, all of which were hateful.

Since these people married to the Lin family, the deeds of sale were naturally in Jia Min's hands. After Jia Min died, the deeds of sale came to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai reported these stewards to the government. With such conclusive evidence, there was no need to investigate. He directly took them down and brought them to the government to face the official. Blindly begging for mercy.

But Lin Ruhai wanted to deal with these blood-sucking house thieves this time, so of course he refused to expose them lightly, but he sued all those who corrupted more than a thousand taels of money to the government, and the lawsuits were settled quickly, and those with more serious circumstances ransacked their homes and beheaded, and those with lesser circumstances were beheaded. The confiscated family property was returned to the Lin family.

Of course Lin Ruhai didn't want the money, and gave it all to Daiyu.

When the news reached the Rongguo Mansion, Lin Ruhai had already dealt with these thieves, and even replaced the shop managers with members of the Lin family.

In the eyes of the Jia family, these behaviors have a completely different meaning.

Mother Jia only thought that Lin Ruhai was eyeing her daughter's dowry, and sent Nanny Lai to ask for an explanation.

Lin Ruhai was also not polite, and showed the evidence to Madam Lai, and made it clear that he had given Jia Min's dowry to his daughter Lin Daiyu without taking anything.

Grandma Lai saw Daiyu and was sure it was true, so she went back to Rongguo Duke's mansion to report to her order. After that, Mother Jia never contacted the Lin family again.

Regarding this, Lin Ruhai taught Daiyu, "There are differences between people who are far and near, but you must not forget your roots and have a bottom line. Your grandmother is old, and she indulged these old slaves too much. I watched with cold eyes. Your grandmother's own dowry, I am afraid It’s also been corrupted a lot.”

It's a pity that Jia's mother didn't notice any abnormalities in his thunderous methods, and thought that he wanted to steal Jia Min's dowry.

This made Lin Ruhai very chilling.

He has been the son-in-law of the Jia family for more than 20 years. Every year, the ceremony is carefully prepared and very rich.

But now that Jia Min's body is not cold, his mother-in-law first bullied his weak daughter, and now she suspects him of greedy for his dead wife's dowry, which is really chilling.

Daiyu hugged her father, her eyes were also slightly red.

"Father, don't be sad, mother is in the spirit of heaven, and she doesn't want to see you like this." Daiyu said.

Lin Ruhai forced a smile, "Don't worry, I won't take it to heart as a father."

After all, he will no longer be the son-in-law of the Jia family.
