But Baoyu scratched his head and thought for a while before hesitating: "She seemed to say that Uncle Lin was the Yan Yan Censor during his lifetime."

Who doesn't know about this?

Is it worth Zijuan running to ask for a message from him?

Jiao Shun stared at Baoyu suspiciously for a while, and after confirming that he was not lying, he said in a temptation: "There will always be a beginning and end. Brothers might as well learn the situation at that time so that we can analyze what it is for."

"this……"

Thinking of Jiao Shun's involvement in the matter of using a shop as a mortgage to borrow money from the Xue family, Jia Baoyu no longer hid it and cried to Zijuan, who inexplicably mentioned the "Salt Inspection Censor"

The matter was repeated from beginning to end.

With this combination of context, Jiao Shun suddenly realized.

In love, Lin Daiyu's master and servant are also suspicious that Rongguo Mansion has lost its own legacy!

He couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that this ready-made handle fell into his hands, and the alliance to break up the wood and stone is just around the corner!

But since you have decided to take a stable route, you can no longer be greedy for merit and make progress and put yourself in danger.

So after a moment of pondering, Jiao Shun pretended to be righteous and condemned Zijuan: "This Zijuan girl dares to say nonsense without evidence! I asked in time, otherwise these words would have been heard from you.

, I don’t know what misunderstandings are going on!”

"She, she didn't say anything?"

Jia Baoyu is still confused by the monk.

This is not an IQ issue, but he has been tired of economic career since he was a child. First, he lacks common sense in this area, and second, he is unwilling to think deeply, so he seems very slow.

"Didn't say anything?"

Jiao Shun laughed and shook his head, "Brother Bao just pretended that she hadn't said anything. Let's go out for a walk."

As he said that, he had to go out as he acted.

This act of playing hard to get became more and more curious, so he hurriedly blocked Jiao Shun's way and insisted on him to solve his doubts for him.

"This is not what I should have discussed."

Jiao Shun first refused and waited until the heat was almost done, then he said seriously: "What's more, I've told you now that you're impulsive and you're afraid you'll have to do something bad again - if you have to ask, it's not too late to finish your wine.

.”

Jia Baoyu still had to be entangled, which shows that Jiao Shun was determined and remembered his fierce look just now. He felt cowardly for a moment and did not dare to make trouble anymore.

So the two returned to the hall and sat back.

Jia Baoyu was full of worries and was distracted, but Jiao Shun was as good as a person, so he started to talk with Jia Zheng.

During the meal, they first analyzed the pros and cons of the departments of the Ministry of Works, and then vaguely discussed the issue of staying or leaving the doctors in the department.

These things are even more painful for Jia Baoyu.

After finally letting the banquet go, he couldn't wait to give away the guests and pester Jiao Shun to ask about his previous doubts.

Jiao Shunsui pretended to be seven points and said in a speechless manner: "Brother Bao, do you know what kind of official this Yan Jingshi is?"

"Isn't it the salt class master who manages the salt administration?"

Jia Baoyu replied naturally, but he didn't think there was anything strange about it.

Jiao Shun had to give a thumbs up and continued to guide him: "This salt official is the most greedy person in the world! It is said that it was 100,000 silver for the Qing magistrate in three years. This salt master is afraid... By the way, Lord Lin did it

How many years have you been the salt inspector?”

"It seems...below two terms?"

"Hiss~"

Jiao Shun took a breath of cold air in shock, his eyes, eyebrows, mouth, nose seemed to have been spelled into the word "money".

Jia Baoyu realized it later, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "I understand, Zijuan means that I ask me to borrow money from Lin Meimei and take away the favor of the Xue family!"

Jiao Shun: "..."

This slut is really a clever one!

Jiao Shun was determined to correct it, but when he thought about it, it would be the result of different paths and the same fate, so he swallowed the explanation that was about to come back.

Jia Baoyu thought he had realized the secret of heaven, and was excited and wandering around for several times. Suddenly, he bowed to Jiao Shunshen and said, "Brother Jiao is walking slowly, I'm sorry I'll stay with you!"

As he said that, he rushed straight to Jia Mu's Courtyard excitedly.

He ran all the way, and when he arrived at the old lady's courtyard, the gate of the courtyard had naturally been locked, but this was not a problem for Jia Baoyu. After two shouts, the woman hurriedly removed the door latch.

Baoyu ignored the woman's laughter and asked, and pushed the door straight into Lin Daiyu's house, not to worry whether Lin Daiyu's house had fallen asleep. He broke into the inner room and knelt down on the ground, swearing without any head and tail: "

I beg my sister to lend me the money. When things go wrong, even if I act like a cow and a horse, I will definitely make up for this deficit for you!”

Lin Daiyu didn't fall asleep. She was sitting at the head of the bed holding some old things in a daze. When she saw him suddenly breaking in, she was startled. Then she saw him turn over and kneel down. She said for no reason that she wanted to borrow money from her, and even more so

There was a fog on the end.

Frowning and looking at Baoyu who was excited, Lin Meimei said suspiciously: "Didn't you just say that you just let it go? Why did you run away and say something crazy and weird?"

"younger sister!"

Seeing Daiyu say something 'from now on', Jia Baoyu was anxious and jumped up from the ground, snatched up and bent her body like shrimps to look at Daiyu, and asked angrily: "What's it?

It’s time, but why is my sister still stingy with these extra money?!”

Then, he paused again and said resolutely: "If it were me, not to mention twenty or three hundred thousand taels of silver, it would be a million taels or tens of millions of taels of property. If I could be exchanged for being together forever, I would never be stingy.

!”

His million taels, tens of millions of taels made Lin Daiyu become more and more confused.

Lin Meimei vaguely guessed that this sentence might be related to Zijuan’s previous words, but the problem is that both parties’ thinking is not on the same channel at all.

But at this moment, the confusion fell into Jia Baoyu's eyes and became a proof of her cherishing money.

"Okay, okay, I actually misread you!"

His eyes were so angry that they stood straight, and he gritted his teeth and walked out.

This operation that was immersed in self-emotion really made Lin Daiyu very angry. She stood up and pointed at him and said, "You saw me wrongly, I saw you wrongly, from now on... cough cough cough!"

In desperation, Lin Meimei suffered from coughing again.

This is more effective than any words, just like using a fixed body technique, which makes Jia Baoyu unconsciously stop his steps.

He subconsciously took out the handkerchief and looked back at Lin Daiyu, but he had not handed it over for a long time.

"Good Second Master!"

At this time, Zijuan stepped forward and grabbed Baoyu, laughing and crying: "Where did you ask us girls to go and touch the money? You can borrow only 200,000 to 300,000 taels!"

Jia Baoyu glared at her, stuffed the handkerchief into her hand, and then signaled her to go over and cover Lin Daiyu's mouth and pat her back.

Then he asked, "Didn't you mention it specifically? Uncle Lin has been the Censor of the Salt Survey - I just asked Brother Jiao that the Censor of the Salt Survey is a first-class fat. In a few years, 300,000 or 500,000 yuan.

There is always no shortage of silver!"

Speaking of this, he slowed down slightly and looked at Daiyu and said earnestly: "I am definitely not planning my sister's property. If you can trust me, let's take this money and respond first. I will be a cow and a horse for the rest of my life.

I'll give you back!"

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu finally understood what was going on.

He coughed with tea and shook his head helplessly, "This money is insignificant, but I have never seen it before. My monthly food, clothing and expenses are all pointed to those common cases. Don't you know these yet?

”

"this……"

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu finally realized that something was wrong.

Although Lin Daiyu's daily expenses are not the worst among the sisters, she is definitely not rich. Even because the rewards are too generous, she has to secretly help her to survive from time to time.

If she really had a wealth of wealth, why would she be so embarrassed?

But Uncle Lin has been a master of salt courses for several years. No matter how I think about it, it is impossible for me to not save any property at all, right?

The Lin family has only Daiyu, an only daughter. Who else can I leave this property to her if I don’t leave it to her?

After thinking about it, Jia Baoyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said happily: "I understand, this must be because my sister is young, and the old lady or the master will help you collect it first!"

As he said that, he took two steps forward again, stared at Daiyu and said seriously: "Good sister, let's go and ask the old lady. If so, I will use this money to pay for the Xue family's debts first. I will go back to the future.

Are you willing to return it to you as a cow and a horse?”

When he was angry before, the tears that burst out were still hanging in the corners of his eyes, but now they are full of hope.

With eyes facing each other, Lin Daiyu clearly felt his sincerity, and was both relieved and miserable.

What is gratifying is that although he is so fond of his true meaning, he still has true feelings for himself; what is sad is that he is so ignorant and innocent, and he has no idea what consequences it may have if this matter is revealed.

but……

Lin Daiyu was afraid that he would retreat at the last minute, but she was never afraid of paying any price for it!

So he smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll just accompany you."

Jia Baoyu was overjoyed and reached out to hold Daiyu's tenderness.

"Second Master!"

It is rare that Lin Daiyu did not dodge this time. Seeing that he was about to get his wish, Zijuan next to him suddenly knelt down and pulled Jia Baoyu's robe and said, "It's all my stupidity that I'm just talking about these things that make things happen! If you really do it for our girls

OK, just forget about this!"

As he said that, he robbed the ground with his head.

Jia Baoyu was startled by her, took a step back, looked down at Zijuan who was constantly bowing, and asked inexplicably: "You, what are you doing?"

Then he became angry and said with hatred: "My sister Lin and I have only this glimmer of hope now. Besides, you took the initiative to do it, but you are going to stop it now, and I don't know what you are satisfied with!"

Then Zijuan walked forward, grabbed the corner of his clothes again, and begged, "Second Master, it's all the mistakes of my servants, please..."

"Start up!"

Jia Baoyu threw away Zijuan hard and subconsciously kicked her over. But thinking that this was Lin Meimei's maid, she gritted her teeth and endured it, and then paused her feet and beat her chest and asked: "This is not true, that is not true."

!You have to force me to death?!”

"I'm..."

"alright."

Zijuan wanted to persuade her again, Lin Daiyu interrupted her and said resolutely: "Baoyu is right. Now there is only this glimmer of hope. I would rather die than fight!"

"this……"

Zijuan saw the determination in her eyes, and thought of the so-called "spark of life" which was exactly what she had dreamed of. For a moment, she didn't know whether to continue to stop or let them fight to the death.

After a while, he simply bowed down slowly, pressed his face tightly to the ground, and started to whimper in silence.

Originally, when Jia Baoyu heard Lin Daiyu's words, he turned anger into joy, raised his hand and wanted to hold Lin Meimei's tenderness again. However, seeing Zijuan's appearance, the monk was confused and said suspiciously: "What is she today?"

Now?"

"Don't worry about her."

Lin Daiyu took the initiative to stretch out her hand and urged: "The old lady is about to go to bed, let's go there quickly."

Jia Baoyu always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a moment. He nodded hesitantly and then took Lin Meimei's hand for the third time.

"Bao Er Master."

Xue Yan, who had been silent at this time, suddenly asked, "What if there was no such money you mentioned?"

"this……"

Jia Baoyu's movements stopped, frowned and turned to look at Xueyan, and asked, "Uncle Lin has been in the salt class for five or six years, right? It is said that the Qing magistrate has been 100,000 snowflakes in the salt class for three years, this salt class...

…”

"Second Master."

Xueyan stopped him and asked again: "What I mean, what if the silver was originally there, but now it is gone?"

"Now is gone? What is gone?"

Jia Baoyu was confused when he heard this, and he felt that these two maids were all talking about today.

"For example, this silver has been secretly used up by your mansion."

"How is that possible!"

Jia Baoyu immediately became angry and pointed at Xue Yan and said angrily: "How could the old lady be? How could it be... The old lady loves my aunt and Meimei Lin the most, and she would never do such a thing!"

These words simply shattered Jia Baoyu's views. Not to mention doing such a thing, he didn't even dare to think about it!

"The old lady may not know everything."

Facing Jia Baoyu's thunderous anger, Xueyan was not afraid and said in a humble manner: "The old lady may not know everything. If the old lady had already spent all the money without hiding it,"

I think, now let’s ask, does the master and wife agree to it, does it mean to accept it?"

"This, how is this possible!"

Jia Baoyu flatly denied: "The master and the wife are all decent people, how can it be..."

"I'm just giving an example."

Xueyan interrupted him again, and looked at Baoyu without dodging and said, "There is probably the silver. Since it is not in our girls' hands, it should be the one in this mansion to collect it on his behalf - but at home

There is ready-made silver, but why do you still have to borrow it from the Xue family?"

"this……"

Baoyu hesitated first, and then became firm: "This must be the master and his wife, and she doesn't want to touch Lin Meimei's property!"

"If this is the case, it's better, but what if it is not?"

Xueyan spread her hands: "The silver has been spent, and we have no evidence to die. If someone recognizes it, it would be fine. If he refuses to admit it, then he will tear his face apart. Can we still have a place to live in this mansion?"

This time, Jia Baoyu could no longer stand firm. He hesitated and turned to look at Daiyu, then looked at Zijuan who was still kneeling on the ground, then moved his eyes away and stammered: "Or maybe, it's possible...it's true

There is no such money.”

His face, like a silver basin, twisted and wrinkled at this time, which shows how intense the emotional conflict is.

At this moment, a small hand as full as jade slowly reached in front of him, followed by Lin Daiyu's calm and firm voice: "Is it true or false, just ask."

"this……"

The soft horn that I had never tried to hold the previous three times seemed to have become a beast in Jia Baoyu's eyes. Instead of raising his hand to cater to him, he staggered back half a step and said in a trembling voice: "If so..."

Lin Daiyu followed half a step forward and spread her simple hands in front of Baoyu again: "You also said that there is only this glimmer of hope for life and death. You have to try it out before you know."

"But, but..."

Jia Baoyu took two steps back. The reason why he retreated was that he was worried that it would harm Lin Daimei, but more because he did not have the courage to face the cruel truth described by Xue Yan.

His biggest shortcoming in his life was that he lacked responsibility and was like this, not to mention that he was shattering his views. Once exposed, it would be possible that he could no longer face his parents' affairs.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu seemed to be urging forward, Jia Baoyu suddenly turned around and snatched the door and flew into the darkness as if he was flying!
