The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Wang Xifeng: "I will consider it."

...

Here, Lin Yun came to Rongguo Mansion and heard that Jia Lian was not there, so he had to come to see Sister Feng.

When he entered the door, he saw Zhou Rui's family coming out.

The member of Zhou Rui's family saluted Lin Yun perfunctorily, said hello, and walked away quickly.

Lin Yun walked into the room and saw that there was no maidservant inside, so he jokingly said to Wang Xifeng who was sitting on the kang, "Second sister-in-law and sister-in-law Zhou are hiding in the room and talking secretly, do they want to conspire to do something shameful?" ?”

Wang Xifeng was secretly surprised when he heard the words, "Brother Yun knows what Zhou Rui's family is looking for me?"

Thinking this in her heart, she still said unforgivingly: "Isn't it okay for us ladies to have a few private words between us?"

"A brother like me shouldn't talk too much, but I don't think Zhou Rui and his wife are good people. It's better for Sister-in-law Feng to stay away from them."

Wang Xifeng said jokingly: "I don't think you are a good person."

"Since you don't like to listen, then I won't talk about it. I just hope that you will think more about the child in your belly and do good deeds."

"Sister-in-law, I will remember. Thank you, Third Master Yun, for reminding me."

At this time, Xiao Hong came in with a tray and asked Lin Yun to sit down and drink tea.

Wang Xifeng changed the subject and said, "Did you come to see your second elder brother Lian?"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "I want to ask Lian's second brother, where can I invite the theater troupe?"

"You want to ask the troupe to sing?"

"Yes, isn't Yu'er's birthday coming soon, I want to invite a troupe to have fun."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "It costs a lot of money to hire an opera troupe to sing."

"Silver is not a problem."

"That's right, you are a rich man."

Xiao Hong interjected from the side: "Grandma, Second Master Qiang from Dongfu just brought back a small theater troupe from Suzhou."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "You girl, the theater troupe has just arrived and hasn't performed for the old lady yet, how can you take advantage of Brother Yun first."

Lin Yun: "I'm not interested in listening to operas. If it weren't for Yu'er, Ke Qing and Ru who wanted to listen to operas, I wouldn't be bothered to invite any theater troupe."

Wang Xifeng: "Since Sister Lin and the two younger siblings want to listen to the play, I will go back and ask my ancestors. As long as my ancestors agree, it will be easy to handle."

"Thank you!"

Lin Yun thanked him and stood up to bid farewell to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng: "You were in a hurry to leave when you first came. Could it be that someone invited you to drink?"

"I'm going to talk to my aunt about something."

"Then I'll let Xiaohong take you there."

"Thank you!"

Lin Yun turned around and was about to leave, but Wang Xifeng suddenly stopped him and said, "Brother Yun, wait a moment."

"Sister-in-law Feng, is there anything else?"

Wang Xifeng said to Feng'er, "Feng'er, take a ruler and measure the size of the shoes for Brother Yun."

"Yes, grandma."

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Feng, could it be that she wants to make a pair of shoes for me?"

"You are so beautiful, because others want to know the size of your shoes."

"who is it?"

"Secret for now."

...

In Lixiangyuan, Baochai was reading a book in the bedroom, when she saw Yinger running in and smiling at her, "Girl, the master nephew is here."

Baochai put down the book and said, "But brother Lin is here?"

Ying'er: "That's right. The young master nephew came to talk to his wife, but she wasn't here, so he said that you can see the girl."

"Brother Lin please come in."

"Yes."

Baochai was very curious, since Lin Yun had a falling out with her aunt, she hadn't been to Lixiangyuan again, what's the matter here today?

Not long after, I saw Lin Yun walking in behind Yinger.

Baochai hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Little sister greets Brother Lin."

"Your sister is welcome."

Baochai invited Lin Yun to sit next to the table, poured a cup of tea himself, held it in both hands and handed it to Lin Yun, saying: "Brother Lin, please drink tea."

"Thank you!"

Lin Yun took the teacup, did not drink tea, but smiled at Baochai: "When I was in Jinling that day, I promised my aunt that I would take care of your family's business in Guangdong. A few days ago, my people came from Guangdong. Hai came back and said that they had found out several stewards of the Xue family in Guangdong, and they had embezzled a total of 10,000+ taels of silver."

Baochai widened her eyes and said, "Brother Lin, are you kidding me?"

Lin Yun took out the cloth package from his bosom, handed it to Baochai, and said, "There are silver taels, account books, and the confession of the steward of the Xue family, my sister can take a look first."

Baochai hurriedly stretched out her hand to open the package, and saw a stack of bank notes on it, almost all of which were in denominations of 5000 taels.

She counted silently in her heart, and there were a total of 32 bank notes of 5000 taels, which was 16 taels.

Lin Yun said again: "The steward of the Xue family also embezzled some real estate and shops, totaling more than 2 taels. I will make the decision for my aunt and reward those who helped to deal with this matter."

Baochai was shocked again when he heard the words, more than 2 taels of silver were gone just like that, could Brother Lin be taking revenge on his mother?

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Sister, don't get me wrong, I didn't take a tael of silver from your Xue family."

Baochai said shyly, "Little sister is too late to thank Brother Lin, so why would she think so?"

Lin Yun: "The ones helping your Xue family investigate this matter are some gang members. They have to greet people from all walks of life, and they have to spend some money to manage it. In addition to the hard work, 2 taels of silver is actually not much."

Baochai nodded quickly and said, "Little sister, I understand."

Lin Yun: "When my aunt comes back, tell her for me that the steward over there in Guangdong should be sent to an official? Or should she be escorted back to my aunt? Let her come in and give me a quick answer. Also, the Xue family will send the new steward as soon as possible. Send them over to do business."

Baochai nodded and said, "Little sister remembers."

Lin Yun stood up and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

Baochai wanted to get up and send them off, Lin Yun pointed to the banknotes on the desk, and motioned her to put them away quickly.

...

After Lin Yun left, Baochai hurriedly sent the little maid to her aunt and called her back.

Not long after, Aunt Xue hurried back and asked Baochai, "Daughter, I heard that Brother Yun is here, but is there something wrong?"

Baochai sent out all the maids first, then took out the cloth parcel, and handed it to Aunt Xue as if offering a treasure, saying, "Mother, look what this is?"

Aunt Xue took the package, opened it to take a look, her eyes lit up and said: "This is from Brother Yun?"

Baochai nodded vigorously and said, "Well, brother Lin said that he asked someone to clean up our family's management in Guangdong and recover the silver taels."

Aunt Xue cursed: "Those damned guys have embezzled so much money from our family. I will send them all to officials and cut off their heads."

Baochai: "Mother, there is one more thing. Brother Lin said that he made the decision to reward those gangsters who helped out with the 2 taels of silver from the sale of the houses and shops found."

Aunt Xue said in surprise, "How much did you say?"

"2 taels of silver."

Aunt Xue stood up abruptly and said: "This black-hearted brother Yun, he is not rewarding some gang members, he has embezzled 2 taels of silver from our family. No, I'm afraid it's more than [-], [-], [-] taels." Everything is possible.”

Baochai looked at her mother in shock, as if she didn't know her.

Aunt Xue said again: "No, I have to talk to Brother Yun, he~"

Baochai was so anxious that tears flowed, and she scolded Aunt Xue: "Mother, think about it carefully, if Brother Lin was greedy for our family's money, why would he give you these silver taels and account books? He spent 3 taels of silver on behalf of our family, but has he ever asked you for a tael?"

Aunt Xue froze immediately when she heard the words, and she also understood in her heart that Lin Yun took money very lightly.When her son Xue Pan went out to play with others, he was always taken advantage of by spending money, only when he went out with Brother Yun, did he not spend money.

Baochai pointed to the account book again and said, "Brother Lin said, mother can bring back our family steward and ask about the account book, and she will definitely be able to ask clearly."

Aunt Xue said embarrassingly: "Daughter, I blame my mother for being confused for a while, and brother Yun."

Baochai: "Before, I wondered why Brother Lin was in a hurry to leave without waiting for you to come back. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid Brother Lin would have guessed that you would doubt him."

Aunt Xue blushed when she heard the words, she was in charge of the business as a woman, so when things happened, she naturally had to think of people as bad, so as to avoid losses.Habits become natural, and this problem cannot be changed.

A thought suddenly came to Baochai's mind, since Big Brother Lin could see through his mother's thoughts, this time might be the last time he will help Xue's family.

Thinking of this, she felt her nose was sore and her tears couldn't stop falling.

Aunt Xue said anxiously: "Chai'er, don't cry, mother promises you not to go to see Brother Yun."

It was fine if she didn't say anything, but as soon as the words came out, Baochai cried even more sadly.

Chapter 2 Sixty: Release the Ranking

In the east courtyard of Linyuan, in Liu Rushi's bedroom, the candlelight was like beans, dyeing the pink veils like a dream.

Lin Yun and Liu Rushi hugged and talked on the bedside, skin to skin, and couldn't leave.The pink brocade quilt half covered the spring scenery on the beauty's chest, looming, and the scenery was alluring.

"I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see me like this."

Lin Yun was reciting a poem, while his left hand slid to the beauty's chest, caught a little white rabbit and played with it.

Liu Rushi hurriedly grabbed the evil pig's hooves and begged in a low voice: "Husband, please stop making trouble."

Lin Yun pressed his cheek against Liu Rushi's neck, and said softly, "Rushi, can you stay? I really hate to let you go."
