When Lin Daiyu heard aunt Lin's words, she was stunned and half convinced. She asked, "grandma Lin, does Dad really ask people to send 5000 liang of silver to Rongguo mansion every year?"
Aunt Lin nodded without hesitation and replied in doubt, "Miss Hui, it's true! These silver are paid out of the account and sent to the Rongguo house every year and to Mrs. Wang of the Rongguo house! Don't you know, miss? Is the money greedy by her?"
It's not impossible for Mrs. Wang to covet this money when she thinks of what she has done to Lin's house these years.
Aunt Lin looked down on Rong Guofu more and more. It was only 5000 liang of silver, but she gave it to me.
Lin Daiyu shook her head and was embarrassed to say more about the silver, so as not to find out that the Jia family had greedy for her silver, which was known by mammy Lin and lost the dignity of the Jia family.
Anyway, now she has come out of Rongguo house. As for the previous things, she doesn't want to investigate more.
"I don't know! My stepmother is a good person and loves me very much! After the Empress Dowager ordered to get married and before she went to Yangzhou, she came to Rongguo mansion to see me!" Lin Daiyu replied with a grateful expression on her face. "She gave me 5000 liang of silver as pocket money!"
Aunt Lin was quite surprised to hear this. She didn't know it from the new lady.
Aunt Lin had a better impression of the new lady and said with a smile, "the new lady is a proper and reasonable person. Things in the house are managed in an orderly manner, and the master is well served. Since the marriage, the master's health has improved day by day and recovered.
In addition, the new lady is not greedy. After rectifying the accounts in the house, count and seal all kinds of things such as the girl's biological mother's shop, Zhuangzi, gold, silver and jewelry, and give them to the girl in the future!
These were all said in front of us old servants of the Lin family, and the master agreed! He also said that when the girl is old in the future, she must find a safe and talented mother-in-law and add some dowry to her, so that she can get married. "
Hearing aunt Lin's words, Lin Daiyu blushed, "Mama Lin, Daiyu is still young!"
Aunt Lin said with a smile, "it doesn't matter if she is young. How can the marriage of a girl in a big family be settled in one or two days? The master and the new husband know a lot about her, especially the new lady. She almost became a monk because she suffered a lot from her stepmother!
Your majesty and the Empress Dowager are kind. Only by marrying the new lady for the sake of old lady Gu can she have this marriage! She cherishes it very much and hopes to be a better stepmother. "
Aunt Lin unconsciously praised sun Yingying. She wanted Lin Daiyu to know that the new wife was generous, not mean, and asked her not to be estranged from the new wife.
Lin Daiyu nodded. "My stepmother is a good person. Daiyu is very happy! The most important thing is that I don't worry about my father! There is a person who knows the cold and the hot with my father. Moreover, the sun family girl is an official family. She has a scholarly family, knows the book and reason, reads a lot of poetry and books, and can also have a common language with her father! You can discuss anything with each other without my father alone."
Aunt Lin smiled and nodded again and again. "The girl has grown up and is so filial! The old man has indeed changed a lot since he got married! In two months, the master will go to Beijing, and then the girl will be able to see the change of the master."
