Chapter 956: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (119)
"Master, there are a full six hundred thousand taels of silver notes."
The little pot popped out, "Our Lord Lin didn't lie to you."
He originally had nearly two million taels of silver in his possession.
However, he used a small portion of it to buy land and shops in various state capitals.
This can be considered as leaving ancestral property for the Lin family's descendants.
The remaining million taels were divided into two parts.
One portion was given to the master, and the other was reserved for the Lin Dingxi brothers.
In all calculations, Lord Lin wasn't showing favoritism.
"Yes, there was no favoritism."
Li Siqi seemed thoughtful, "He probably didn't discuss giving out silver notes with the Xu family this time."
No matter how generous or kind Madam Xu is, she probably wouldn't agree to me, the married-out daughter, taking away so many silver notes.
"Master's guess is correct."
Xiao Huzi laughed and said, "Our Lord Lin did not tell Madam Xu."
In fact, Madam Xu had no idea how many silver notes Lord Lin possessed.
"It's better not to know."
Li Siqi said softly, "Knowing too much will only affect the relationship between family members."
"That's true!"
……
main courtyard.
After Xu Ruxin finished her busy work.
Granny Wang walked over to her and said a few words.
"A wooden box?"
Xu Ruxin was silent for a moment, then said, "It should be a silver note."
It's quite normal for the master to give the young lady some silver notes in private.
"This is a matter for you, sir, to decide."
"That's true, but I wonder how much silver the master gave to the young lady."
Granny Wang couldn't help but say, "The eldest young lady's dowry is quite generous."
Isn't it going too far for the master to secretly add more money?
"Granny, please don't say such things again."
Xu Ruxin glanced at her, "The master will not mistreat any child."
The same goes for the young lady.
What the master gave her was what she deserved.
We don't need to interfere with the master's decision.
Granny, you must remember this.
The young lady is the master's child.
Xi-ge'er and Zhao-ge'er are also the master's children.
They are siblings, the closest people in the world.
Don't let money or material things damage the relationship between the siblings.
It's not worth it.
do you understand? "
"Yes, ma'am."
Granny Wang looked ashamed. "It was my foolishness. I shouldn't have had such selfish thoughts."
"This old servant will never do such a foolish thing again."
"Granny, I understand your good intentions."
Xu Ruxin took her hand and said, "I know you're protecting me and my brother Xi."
Just don't be too calculating among family members.
Sometimes, it's better to be oblivious to things.
Besides, we don't lack 18,000 taels of silver to make ends meet.
If we were to worry about these things and word got out, it would make others think we're petty.
Even the money spent on a married woman is carefully calculated.
"Madam, this old servant knows his mistake."
Granny Wang couldn't help but kneel down, pleading, "Please punish this old servant, Madam."
This old servant is willing to accept punishment!
"In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with how much you care for my mother and the three of us."
Xu Ruxin helped the person up and gently comforted her, "But we need to understand that although the young lady is not my child."
She and her two brothers were blood-related siblings.
We cannot separate the siblings' relationship because of interests.
If we care about this small benefit today, it will probably leave a mark on our hearts.
From now on, my words and actions will unconsciously reveal my opinion of the young lady.
Think about it yourself. The two boys have heard us say since they were little that the master favored their sister and treated them worse than his sister.
What will happen to them?
Do you have a bad impression of the young lady?
How can they possibly be truly sincere towards their sister?
When they grow up, how will the three siblings support each other?
Granny, both boys are still young.
They are easily influenced by us.
I hope you will pay attention to this point, and we must not bring any negative influence to the two brothers.
"If the master finds out, he won't let you off the hook."
"Madam, this old servant truly knows he was wrong."
Granny Wang was filled with regret and slapped herself twice. "This old servant was blinded by eye boogers and said all sorts of nonsense in front of you, Madam."
This old servant will never speak nonsense again; I will obey your every command, Madam.
"OK OK."
Xu Ruxin grabbed her hand, looked at her cheek with the fingerprints on it, and said helplessly, "I didn't blame you."
I'm just telling you that this matter may seem small, but it actually has a big impact.
We need to pay close attention to this.
Stop blaming yourself.
Otherwise, I'll get angry.
"Yes, the old slave understands."
"Get up quickly!"
"Yes!"
"Since the master secretly gave the young lady money, I can't pretend I don't know about it."
Xu Ruxin instructed, "Go and get me five thousand taels of silver."
Pack it in a wooden box; I'm going to find the young lady in a bit.
Oh, and we should also bring two copies of the fire avoidance chart.
I am her mother, and I should tell her about this.
"This servant will arrange it immediately."
"Ok!"
……
What happened in the main courtyard.
Xiao Huzi still told Li Siqi.
She knew this and wasn't surprised, "Ms. Xu has always been very clear-headed."
She knows what's most important.
We won't lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains.
It was precisely because of her clear-headedness and strong principles that she earned her father's respect.
The little pot nodded. "That's true."
Li Siqi smiled and said, "Considering that she was able to fulfill her duty and bear children for the Lin family."
In the future, I can take better care of her and be more filial to her.
"this is necessary."
Little Pot smiled and said, "At least she's a perceptive person."
"Yes!"
……
That night.
Xu Ruxin spent half an hour having a private conversation with Li Siqi.
They also left behind five thousand taels of silver and two sets of valuable jewelry.
It must be said that, given her status as a stepmother, it is quite remarkable that she was able to do this.
Lin Ruhai learned of this matter.
He personally delivered 20,000 taels of silver to her.
Therefore, her efforts were rewarded as they were.
When Granny Wang found out, she was truly convinced of her mistress's abilities.
From now on.
She never interfered in or inquired about her master's affairs again.
……
The eldest daughter of the Duke of Jin's mansion has gotten married.
She married into the Qin Prince's mansion and became the Qin Princess.
The day was very lively.
As the bride, Li Siqi sat obediently.
Every action must be taken according to the matchmaker's instructions.
Getting married is not a simple matter in this era.
It takes from dawn until dusk to get to work.
And there can be no mistakes.
She was being watched all the time.
Because the younger brothers were too young, they were unable to carry their older sister to her wedding.
The sixth prince decided to carry her to the bridal sedan chair himself.
No one dares to say it's inappropriate.
Watching the groom carry the bride to bid farewell to his parents, and then carry her to the bridal sedan chair.
They made their way to the Qin Prince's Mansion amidst music and fanfare.
After getting out of the sedan chair.
With the help of the wedding attendants, they went through various procedures.
Until the wedding ceremony and escorting them to the bridal chamber.
This finally allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief.
The next day.
Li Siqi then went to the palace with the Sixth Prince to express her gratitude.
I took a tour of the harem.
Finally, we arrived at Xiangfei's Funing Palace.
The couple respectfully bowed to Xiangfei once again.
"Good boy, get up quickly."
Xiangfei was a very gentle woman.
She looked at Li Siqi with gentle eyes, "Yu'er, I'm entrusting Yuan Yun to you."
If he doesn't listen to you, or bullies you.
Then you should go find your mother.
His mother personally disciplined him.
