Reading "Dream of Red Mansions" is like entering a treasure mountain, which is fascinating. Among the many mysteries, the whereabouts of the Lin family's property is one of the topics of greatest interest to readers. Lin Daiyu, the reincarnation of the Zhuzhu Fairy, came with the mission of "returning tears", and this life is destined to be full of twists and turns. Daiyu lost her parents when she was young and could only live in her grandfather's house.
When she entered the mansion, she only brought two servants, an old man and a young servant, which made many people think that the Lin family was very poor. But in the conversation between Daiyu and Baochai, Daiyu said that she had nothing, and she relied on outsiders for food and clothing. This makes people believe that the Lin family has fallen, and Daiyu lives in the Jia family penniless, living cautiously. However, this is not the case.
The Lin family has gone through four generations of princes, a generation of salt patrol imperial history, although the hereditary official position is poor, but Lin Ruhai entered the imperial examination with his strength, and also did a few years of salt patrol imperial history. Even if he has a clean sleeve, it is impossible to be in this position for a few years without being greedy. In addition to the ancestral property, Jia Min's dowry is also a huge wealth. Jia Min was a golden and noble daughter back then, and the dowry when she got married must have been very rich. Therefore, after Lin Ruhai's death, the Lin family had a large amount of property.
And this property ended up going **? Although the author did not explicitly write it, it was hinted at through some details: the Lin family's property was embezzled by the foreign Jiafu. This person is Jia Yun! In the twenty-fourth description, in order to seek the position of Sister Feng, Jia Yun decided to ask his uncle Bu Shijia, who opened a pharmacy, for some borneol musk as a gift. However, after seeing this broken nephew, Bu Shiren not only did not lend it to him, but also sneered and criticized Jia Yun for not doing his job, not making money, and not paying attention to food and clothing.
Although Jia Yun was very angry after hearing this, he didn't show it, but responded with a smile: "Uncle said it easily. When my father died, I was too young to know anything about the family. Later, I heard from my mother that my uncles had come up with ideas in our house and helped with the funeral. Don't the uncles know? Now the land and the house are in my hands, and I have spent almost the same. When Bu Shiren heard this, he changed his tone and pretended to teach Jia Yun. But from Jia Yun's words, we can deduce something.
When his father died, the uncles did help with the funeral, but after the funeral was done, they coveted the Jia family's fields and house. At that time, Jia Yun was still young, and although her mother was a weak woman, there were other people in the Jia family. However, this uncle took control of Jia Yun's family property so easily.
Let's take a look at the commoner of Bu Shiren. He is just a commoner, but he can get a piece of the pie in taking care of Jia Yun's father's funeral. So what about the Jia family, who is a noble of the government? After Lin Ruhai's death, Jia Lian went to cook. The Lin family's property must have fallen into the hands of outsiders. Is there any evidence? Yes, there is!
First of all, after Jia Min's death, Jia's mother eagerly sent someone to bring Daiyu to educate. This move is unusual. Why? Because during the period from Jia Min's illness to his death, the Jia family did not send anyone to condolence or take care of the aftermath. At that time, the Lin family only had Lin Ruhai and a few concubines, and the situation was not much better than after Lin Ruhai's death. But as soon as Jia Min died, the Jia family reacted, just to maintain contact with the Lin family.
Sure enough, Lin Ruhai sent a letter from her illness to take Daiyu back. Note that the word "pick-up" is used here, indicating that Lin Ruhai has already sent someone. So how did the Jia family do it? They sent Jia Lian to send it over, and told them to bring Daiyu back. Why bring it back? Because Daiyu, as the only heir of the Lin family, can completely bring the property of the Lin family back to the Jia family as her dowry.
Therefore, bringing back Daiyu means that the Lin family's property is also brought back. Jia Lian's wealth of two or three million is the biggest secret in his hands. In the seventy-second episode, when the eunuchs in the palace came to blackmail, Jia Lian felt powerless. He once sighed, "It would be good to have another two or three million financial resources."
What kind of concept is these two or three million? It is enough to feed many small families, like a farmer like Grandma Liu, the annual expenditure is only twenty taels, and how many such small families can two or three million support? Wang Xifeng sacrificed the lives of two people in the Tiejian Temple case, just in exchange for 3,000 taels of silver. If Jia Lian wants to ** so much, how many innocent people will have to die?
So, where did Jia Lian's huge wealth come from? There is only one answer, and that is the property of the Lin family. Jia Lian has always only participated in the affairs of the Lin family, and the wealth of two or three million was brought from the Lin family.
The property of the Lin family, just like the "ginseng pill to nourish Rong" that Daiyu ate, silently nourishes the Rong Mansion. But sadly, Daiyu's life in Jiafu was not satisfactory. Although Jia's mother doted on her, after Jia's mother's death, she suffered all kinds of oppression and destruction. During Baoyu's departure from home to avoid disaster, Daiyu washed her face with tears day and night, and finally passed away in endless tears, and a wisp of incense returned to Taixu.
