To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Chapter 367: Love in the Red Mansion is as Deep as the Sea 47

Jia She's heart skipped a beat. What Doctor Wang said was too general. This was not a good sign.

When Lady Jia was ill, Lin Ruhai also came to visit her. After seeing Lady Jia's condition, he found out that the old lady just had tonsillitis due to a sudden illness.

Just reduce the fever and inflammation. In ancient times, anti-inflammatory methods relied entirely on herbal medicine, which was too slow to take effect. Lin Ruhai put the anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing drugs in sesame pills.

Lin Ruhai pulled Jia She over and said, "The old lady's condition doesn't look auspicious. I have some pills I got from overseas. They'll help reduce her fever first."

Upon hearing this, Jia She quickly took the small pill and helped Jia Mu take it. It was important that nothing happened to an old lady of such age.

If something happened to Lady Jia, Jia Lian would come back to mourn. Jia Lian had finally climbed to the position of a powerful prefect over the years and was still thinking about going further.

If I were to go into mourning, everything would be ruined. Where could I find such a ready-made position?

Officials are afraid of mourning, and Lin Ruhai is also afraid now. His daughter has become a princess, and he is now in a position where he will either advance or retreat.

One can only climb up and not fall down, so Lady Jia must live a long life. People waiting to take her position are like crucian carp crossing the river, so she cannot give others the opportunity to attack her.

Grandmother Jia was in good health. After taking two pills, her fever went away. After taking the anti-inflammatory medicine sent by Lin Ruhai, she was able to speak again in just three days.

The dark clouds hanging over the Jia Mansion finally dissipated, and Jia She told others that the old lady was old, and she was so happy about the imperial decree granting the marriage that she ate too much fruit, which was the cause of the bad luck.

Anyway, you can't talk about getting angry. The Queen Mother arranged the marriage and you are angry. Do you want to go against the Queen Mother?

I can only say that I am happy. Mrs. Wang was also shocked. If anything happens to Lady Jia, Jia Zheng will have to go into mourning, and this official is the only one holding up the family.

So now Mrs. Wang didn't dare to provoke Lady Jia at all.

The Shi family was also very upset when they heard the news that Jia Baoyu was engaged, but Shi Xiangyun was their face.

None of them wanted to bear the burden of being an orphan, so the Shi family quickly arranged a marriage for Xiangyun without any hesitation.

Grandmother Jia felt bad for delaying the child for so long, so she picked out some things from her own private collection to fill in Shi Xiangyun's makeup.

Xue Baochai's marriage was settled, and the Xue family finally fulfilled their wish. However, when preparing the dowry, troubles began to arise.

Xue Pan's wife, Xia Jingui, was always making trouble. When she saw the dowry that Aunt Xue had prepared for Xue Baochai, she started to make a scene:

"I've never seen such a biased family. Other families leave all the good things to their sons, but we do the opposite!

You're piling up goodies like mountains and filling the sea to give to my daughter as compensation! I've been screwed by your Xue family!

I married into your miserable home, but you gave me all my gold and silver as compensation, and even took away the maid in the room! What good is there for me?

Aunt Xue was so angry that she fell backwards. "Look, which daughter-in-law dares to talk back to her mother-in-law? Is this the rule of your Xia family?

Baochai has worked hard for the family over the years, and her father left her a dowry when he was still alive!

I didn't use your money! What's your business? As a daughter-in-law, do you want to make decisions for me, your mother-in-law?"

Xia Jingui was not a pushover either: "A girl this old isn't getting married yet. Who knows what might have happened to her! Otherwise, why would she be willing to give away such a large dowry?"

This incident made Baochai feel bitter. Her dowry was not small, but every girl had expectations for her dowry. Lin Daiyu's dowry was really too generous. She was jealous of any other girl.

Her dowry wasn't even one-tenth of what other people got, and yet it caused a scene with her sister-in-law! There was no way to deal with such a scoundrel.

This year is not only full of happy events but also a year of major examinations. Lin Jinyu is ready and Lin Ruhai is preparing to let him return to Suzhou to take the imperial examination.

The marriage market is like this. Although Lin Ruhai is now in a high position and his daughter has become a princess, the iron still needs to be forged. If Lin Jinyu can get in, she will be a real candidate for a son-in-law.

The Lin family is now extremely busy. Lin Ruhai himself is a member of the imperial examination family. In addition to taking care of his son's health, he also has to analyze the examiner's preferences with his son.

This is the case of the saying "the one who is close to the water gets the moon first". Children of ministers have an advantage over students from poor families when it comes to writing policy essays.

Lin Jinyu has been reading the court's official bulletins since he was a child, and Lin Ruhai also consciously brought his son into the officialdom.

This knowledge is far greater than that of children from poor families. Jiangnan is a hell for imperial examinations. Talents are everywhere and scholars have been produced in abundance since ancient times.

Lin Ruhai did not dare to be careless at all. If he had not been unable to leave the court, he would have wanted to send his son back to Jiangnan to take the exam in person.

However, taking the county and provincial examinations was not difficult, and no one dared to cause trouble for the family of the powerful Minister of Revenue.

After Grand Tutor Du retired this year, the Emperor also intended to promote Lin Ruhai to the cabinet. Such a young cabinet minister is a rare sight in the court.

What's more, these people are just bored and want to offend the third prince. Lin Jinyu is the third prince's brother-in-law. You can ignore official business, but if you make trouble, you will make enemies.

Now the huge Lin Mansion has only one master, Lin Ruhai. It is a rare quiet time. Before Lin Ruhai can have two days of peace and quiet, news comes from the Third Prince's Mansion that Lin Daiyu is pregnant.

Nanny Tao, who came back to deliver the letter, had a flushed face. It was a good sign that the girl was pregnant. Many children and good fortune were the wishes of the royal family. How could they not have children?

But Lin Ruhai looked helpless when he heard the news. How old is his daughter? If she were in the future, she would still be a high school student!

Lin Ruhai couldn't sit still any longer, and packed several carts full of food and drink. When Aunt Tao came, she was very light and nimble, and when she left, she took a large and small cart.

In the Jia Mansion, Aunt Zhao asks Jia Zheng for money every day when she has nothing to do, and finds excuses every few days. Tanchun's dowry is Aunt Zhao's biggest concern.

Mrs. Wang is the kind of person who would want to make a fortune even if she were to lie down in her coffin. How could she let go of this opportunity to make money?

It turned out that according to the old lady's suggestion, all we had to do was find some rosewood furniture in the warehouse, re-polish and repaint it, and it would look like new.

This saves a lot of money, and the clothing materials and fabrics in the home warehouse can also save a lot of money.

It would be more appropriate to give Tanchun more money as a dowry. After all, the Yang family is not well-off and Tanchun will have a better life in the future with the money.

But Wang insisted, "The old lady loves Tan'er, but for a family like ours, using old materials for a dowry would be a laughing stock."

Grandmother Jia couldn't say anything else, after all, Lady Wang was Tanchun's biological mother. But Aunt Zhao, who had dealt with Lady Wang all her life, knew her tricks all too well.

The one who knows you best must be your enemy. Aunt Zhao went to Jia Zheng and threw a tantrum, asking him to make a decision for her mother and the others:

"Master, since I have followed you for so many years, can you please help me buy a bunch of wood and furs with just a little silver? Can you eat them or use them as money?

After all this trouble with Tan's dowry, how can it be any more respectable? "
