In the evening, as soon as Jia Min returned to his mansion, he received the news that Lin Ruhai would be transferred back to the capital and return to serve in the Hanlin Academy.

Although she had had a premonition, Jia Min still felt aggrieved for her husband. She had made such great contributions, but was left idle. It was really frustrating.

Fortunately, Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing to work in the Hanlin Academy, so he could take the opportunity to recuperate, which was barely a self-comfort.

But then, Jia Min ran into trouble again. Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing, so she naturally didn't have to go back to Yangzhou. So what should we do about Lin Yun's marriage to that girl Ke Qing?

He called in the old miracle doctor for discussion, and then decided to write to Lin Ruhai to ask for his opinion.

…

The news that Lin Ruhai was going to Beijing also reached Rongguo Mansion. Baoyu was overjoyed when he heard it. Since Uncle Lin was going to Beijing, Sister Lin naturally didn't have to go back to Yangzhou. This was great news for him.

Jia's mother was also very happy after hearing this. Although Aunt Lin was idle in the Hanlin Academy, she knew in her heart that no matter how high the official was promoted, it was not as important as Jian in the emperor's heart. The injustice that Aunt Lin suffered for the emperor today would not be the most virtuous in the future.

The emperor will definitely compensate him.

In Sister Feng's courtyard, Jia Lian and his wife, who had been busy for most of the day, were sitting and dining together. Ping'er was standing next to Wang Xifeng to serve. Since she got Lin Yun's promise, she refused to sit and dine with Jia Lian and his wife.

Jia Lian and his wife also knew about the news that Lin Ruhai was about to come to Beijing.

Wang Xifeng sighed to Jia Lian: "I thought that for my uncle's great contribution, he would at least be promoted to one rank. Who would have thought that he would be transferred back to the Hanlin Academy to serve."

Jia Lian: "My uncle has offended too many courtiers this time. It is good that he can return to the Hanlin Academy to serve. After all, if you work beside the emperor, you will have more opportunities for promotion in the future."

Wang Xifeng: "That's true. I wonder if Brother Yun will return to Beijing with his uncle?"

Jia Lian: "Probably not. There is a provincial examination this year. I guess he will probably go to Jinling to study and will not come back until after taking the provincial examination."

Ping'er listened gloomily. She originally wanted to go to Yangzhou with Jia Min, but now it seems that there is no hope.

Wang Xifeng hoped that Lin Yun would come back later, so that she could keep Ping'er for a while longer. Although Lin Zhixiao's daughter was smart, she was far from Ping'er, and it would take several years of experience before she could use it.

She suddenly remembered and asked: "Have you calculated the profits of the perfume shop in the first month? When can the dividends be distributed?"

Jia Lian felt guilty when he heard this. He had already withdrawn 1,500 taels of silver from the perfume shop. If Sister Feng knew about this, I'm afraid she would cause an uproar.

He said hurriedly: "I originally planned to ask Jia Yun in the next few days, but I was busy with the old lady's birthday and delayed it. I will go over tomorrow and ask Jia Yun face to face."

Wang Xifeng: "It's better to let Ping'er go over and ask. I won't worry about you going."

Jia Lian was stunned and said: "Isn't this against the rules? Brother Yun will have objections if he knows about it."

Wang Xifeng said dissatisfiedly: "Ping'er is already a member of his house. Isn't it right to help him check the accounts?"

When Jia Lian heard this, his face immediately darkened. If Tigress hadn't kept a close eye on her, Ping'er would have been in his house long ago, so why would there be such nonsense.

Ping'er's pretty face turned red with embarrassment. She pretended to be Wang Xifeng and complained: "Grandma has something to say, so why bother using slaves to attack her?"

Wang Xifeng glared at Ping'er and said, "I'm complimenting you, and you're not happy with it?"

Ping'er: "I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the perfume shop."

Wang Xifeng said angrily: "You are stupid. If you don't intervene now, wait until Brother Yun's wife comes through. How will you have the chance to intervene?"

Jia Lian said depressedly: "You guys can chat, I'll go out for a walk first."

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Xifeng to speak, he picked up the curtain and walked out.

It happened that his servant Xing'er came to look for him. When he saw Jia Lian coming out, Xing'er waved to him and said: "Second Master, someone is looking for him."

Jia Lian hurriedly walked over and asked, "Who is looking for me?"

Xing'er lowered his voice and said, "It's Jia Yun."

Jia Lian's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Ask him to wait in the outer study. I'll meet him there."

"OK."

Jia Lian looked back and saw that Wang Xifeng did not follow him, so he walked towards the outer study room confidently and boldly.

When he walked into the outer study room and saw Jia Yun waiting inside, he hurriedly asked: "Brother Yun, why did you come to see me?"

Jia Yun took out an account book from her pocket, handed it to Jia Lian and said, "Uncle Lian, this is the accounts of the perfume shop for the first month. Please take a look at it."

Jia Lian took the account book, looked through it, and asked, "How much money did you make from the perfume business in the first month?"

Jia Yun: "I made a total of 21,676 taels of silver. After excluding various expenses, the net profit was 20,86 taels. Uncle Lian's dividend was 6,258 taels.

"

After a pause, Jia Yun continued: "You previously withdrew one thousand five hundred taels from the shop, and the remaining dividends are four thousand seven hundred and fifty-eight taels."

Jia Lian was secretly happy when he heard this. He didn't expect that the perfume shop had made so much money in the first month. It was really a money tree.

Jia Yun: "Second Uncle Lian, do you want to send your dividends to the house?"

When Jia Lian heard this, he said anxiously: "Don't send it here."

After a pause, he added: "You can exchange a thousand taels of silver notes for me later, and I will send them to the old lady and your second aunt. By the way, if your second aunt asks about the profits of the perfume shop, try to give as little as possible.

Let’s talk.”

Jia Yun said with a bitter face: "Second uncle, if my second aunt knows that I'm lying to him, I'm afraid she won't let me go easily."

Jia Lian: "Brother Yun makes the decision for you, what are you afraid of her doing?"

Jia Yun: "But the third master is not in the capital, and the water far away cannot save the fire nearby."

When Jia Lian thought about it, it was true that if Wang Xifeng really asked Jia Yun, it would be difficult for him to explain.

He held the account book in his hand and thought for a moment. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said: "I heard Brother Yun say last time that you can make two accounts, one light and one dark. You can find someone to make the light account. I'll turn around.

Take it to your second aunt."

Jia Yun hurriedly asked: "How much profit is appropriate?"

"Just over six thousand taels, so it's easier to do business in front of the old lady."

"Okay, I'll find someone to take care of it later."

Jia Lian warned: "You kid, don't make false accounts to fool me."

Jia Yun said hurriedly: "Even if you lend me some courage, I wouldn't dare to lie to you and my nephew."

Jia Lian: "That's right. Brother Yun is not easy to fool."

After saying that, he handed the account book back to Jia Yun and said: "You prepare the dividends for the young prince, and I will deliver them to him personally another day."

Jia Yun hurriedly asked: "Are you sending money or banknotes?"

"Of course it's a banknote. Wouldn't it make people hate you if you send so much money?"

"Okay, I get it."

Jia Yun agreed, stuffed the account book into her arms again, said goodbye to Jia Lian and left.

Jia Lian made an exception and sent him to the door. He warned him repeatedly before letting him leave.

After Jia Yun left, Jia Lian walked to his small courtyard humming a ditty.

But as soon as he reached the halfway point, he was blocked by a man. A closer look revealed that the man was Wei Yong, the elder's attendant. Jia Lian suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Wei Yong smiled at him and said: "Second Master Lian, the eldest master asked you to go over and reply."
