Ping'er turned pale with fright, thinking what happened to him.
Fortunately, Baoyu turned his face and climbed up again, muttering in despair, "The family of a noble and noble duke who has made great meritorious deeds is actually a bunch of robbers in his bones!"
Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him remove the soil from his body, half complaining and half exhorting: "This is something you can say? Don't talk nonsense any more, just pretend you haven't heard of it!"
"Don't worry, sister."
Jia Baoyu reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying: "Even if I die, it will never involve you."
Saying that, the walking corpses left Wang Xifeng's yard like a walking corpse, and he didn't know where to go, so he just wandered around in the inner house.
"How did you get it, why do you seem to have lost your soul?"
Suddenly, a laughing voice came into his ears, Jia Baoyu looked up and saw a master and a servant flashed in front of him, but who else could it be Lin Daiyu and Zijuan
Seeing Lin Daiyu face to face, Jia Baoyu was both ashamed and wronged, bowed his head slightly, and a few drops of 'golden beans' fell to the ground.
"ah!"
This time, Daiyu was really taken aback by him, and she stepped forward and asked softly, "Are you doing some kind of insane, or are you angry with that girl again? Quickly wipe those tears away, or someone else will When I saw it, I thought it was me provoking it."
The more relieved she was here, the more Jia Baoyu cried.
In the end, Lin Daiyu became impatient and said, "What the hell are you doing here for? Tell me anyway! It's not saying anything, but it makes people anxious!"
As he said that, the circles of his eyes were also a little red.
Seeing that she was about to accompany him to tears, Jia Baoyu wiped it with his sleeve, and he pulled Daiyu behind the rockery and pushed Zijuan aside.
Then he told Daiyu that Jia's house had embezzled 600,000 taels of money from the Lin family for the purpose of repairing the other academy, and he only hid the rhetoric of 'one man and two families'.
After he finished speaking, he swears and swears through gritted teeth, claiming that even if he fights to his death, he will return the money to Daiyu!
Lin Daiyu listened dazedly for a while, and when she saw him swearing and swearing to find life and death, she frowned slightly and said, "You didn't spend this money, which one wants you to pay back? Besides, you can't carry it with your hands or shoulders. If you carry it, even if you sell it, it won't be worth a lot of money."
Who knew that the word "sell" hit Baoyu's heart!
So he stared at Daiyu madly, tears streaming down again.
Daiyu knew that there was still the drama of 'one man sells two', but thought he was worried and sad for herself, and she felt very comforted, and sighed: "Actually, I don't need you to tell me, I already knew about the silver. son."
"You... you know about this?!"
Jia Baoyu was stunned and stunned, and even his tears stopped.
Lin Daiyu sighed again and murmured, "When I went south last year, there were quite a few good things in Yangzhou, which were no worse than the furnishings in this mansion, but when I returned to Beijing, there were only two cars left. worthless sundries…”
"Then why don't you say it?! The ancestors love you the most, definitely... definitely..."
Halfway through the sentence, Jia Baoyu suddenly remembered that the matter of using the money to build a different academy, I am afraid that it was approved by Jia's mother, and he could not talk about it again for a while.
Lin Daiyu smiled bitterly and said, "That's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. How many pairs of white-eyed eyes have turned red. Even if the ancestors hurt me again, how could it be possible to offend this entire family?"
Seeing that Lin Daiyu's face was full of sadness, she seemed to be used to seeing the hot and cold world, and Jia Baoyu felt more and more irritable, but she didn't know how to vent it.
After a while, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped him in the face!
slap~
Just this time, half of the cheeks are swollen!
Jia Baoyu seemed to have no pain, and slapped his baby face again.
"What are you doing?!"
Daiyu hurriedly grabbed his arm and said anxiously, "It's not your fault!"
"Who said it wasn't my fault?!"
Jia Baoyu burst into tears and cried, "If I am capable, how dare they settle the matter without asking us?! If I am capable, I will never let it go They bully you like this, but there's nothing they can do!"
Seeing him reproach himself like this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but feel his true feelings, holding Baoyu's hand, and said sternly: "This matter was originally a big stone that was stuffed in my chest, but today, seeing you facing me like this, you called me My heart has been opened up a lot, and it doesn't matter that much."
Then he laughed again: "If these 600,000 taels of silver can save the whole family from the crime of bullying the king, in my opinion, it's worth it!"
Talking about the whole house, there is only one jewel in his eyes!
"Sister Lin..."
Jia Baoyu was so moved that he wished he could marry her immediately, but when he thought of the rhetoric of 'one man and two families', his heart felt like a knife. '
"correct."
Lin Daiyu was half genuinely curious, and half asked to change the subject, "Where did you hear this?"
Baoyu hesitantly said, "I... I promised others that I would never betray her."
"I can guess it even if you don't say it!"
Lin Daiyu twisted her index finger, tapped lightly on her lips, and suddenly blurted out, "It's the second brother of the Sun family, right?!"
"Second brother Sun?"
Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment, then said in a stunned voice, "He... does he know this too?"
Seeing his expression, Lin Daiyu knew that she had guessed wrong, but she nodded and said, "He came back from Yangzhou with second brother Lian, how could these tricks be hidden from him? It's precisely because he knows that his father's money has been stolen. It was hollowed out, and when it was my birthday, Sister Rong brought a bunch of golden leaves."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but glared at Baoyu and said angrily, "At that time, you said that Sister Rong was a village vulgar and would only send some useless things!"
Jia Baoyu scratched his head in embarrassment, but suddenly said: "I understand! Second brother Sun asked me to check the account, but in fact he wanted me to find out for myself!"
Lin Daiyu said suspiciously, "Second brother of the Sun family asked you to check the accounts? What's going on?"
Jia Baoyu hurriedly explained the cause and effect in one go.
After hearing this, Daiyu pondered for a while, but shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Besides, he may not know that the money has been misappropriated - I see, it seems to be aimed at others."
"For others? What others?"
"Of course you are the good servants of your family who eat people and don't spit out bones."
Lin Daiyu pouted and said disdainfully, "Listen to Sister Rong, when the Sun brothers were fighting the autumn wind in Rongguo Mansion, they suffered a lot of grievances from your servants!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Jia Baoyu's eyes widened in disbelief: "The Sun family is a family friend in our mansion, how dare the servants have such courage?"
"Family friends?"
Lin Daiyu snorted and was willing to take herself as an example, but she was afraid that Baoyu would make a fuss, so she hesitated and said, "Don't say it's a family friend, do you remember Jiao Da from Dongfu?"
"Isn't that the old man who likes to scold people after drinking too much?"
"Old man?"
Lin Daiyu glared at him and said, "If he hadn't sacrificed his life to bring Ning Guogong back from the battlefield, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any Ning Guofu at all!"
"I heard that when he escaped back, he had no food to eat, so he went to steal food for the master when he was hungry; if there was no water to drink, he drank horse urine himself, and gave the master half a bowl of water to drink!"
"When Old Ning Guogong was alive, he was a bit stronger than his own son to this Jiao Da - but what about now? Once he lost his support, even the second-class servants in the house dared to beat him!"
"When the brothers of the Sun family are down, in the eyes of these servants in your family, I'm afraid they are far worse than that Jiao Da!"
When Lin Daiyu said this, she paused for a while, and then went back to the main topic: "I guess, the second brother of the Sun family probably got some news, I know that these good servants of your family moved their hands and feet when they were repairing the garden, but it was inconvenient. Break it, and then I coax you, an idiot, to stab the hornet's nest."
"This is not a joke. In my opinion, you are still pretending, don't take it seriously..."
"Do not!"
She was still waiting to be persuaded, but Jia Baoyu was already furious, gnashing his teeth and swearing to the sky: "I must investigate this matter to the end! Don't care if the slave is greedy for the money, I want him to spit it out. !"
The money for 'selling oneself' has been greedy by the minions, and it is no wonder that he is so angry.
