This was not a problem for Xie Yu. The money had been prepared for a long time. The moment the decree was issued, even for the sake of Lin Daiyu's face, the ransom money had been prepared and given.
The girls from the Jia family are both good-looking and knowledgeable. There is no problem in going to Xie Yu Girls' School for further studies and marrying a boy as a wife.
But one thing is the same, everyone has nothing.
Moreover, staying in the city was quite conspicuous, so Xie Yu hired a lot of cars and sent them in batches to the relatively secluded Red Sandalwood Castle for resettlement, not only to rest and recuperate, but also to observe filial piety for Jia.
According to etiquette, the mourning period for parents must be observed for three years.
The so-called three years of observing the system is actually twenty-seven months.
In the name of keeping filial piety, at least in the next three years, the Jia family should be able to avoid the limelight and live a more stable life in Rosewood Castle.

Afterwards, Xie Yu specially arranged a car for Lin Daiyu and Xi Ren to pick up Jia Baoyu and She Yue.
In the car, I saw Xiren arranging Jia Baoyu's clothes again, as if he was the same as before.
But it is definitely different. Over the past few months, even with Xie Yu's help, it was Jia Baoyu who saw what it means to be human, and everyone pushed him down.
The only good thing was that although he was sad that Sister Lin was getting married, she was not marrying him. He felt so regretful at that time.
But now I am so lucky. With Sister Lin's body, if she had accompanied them in such a disaster, it would have been...
Moreover, although Xie Yu, whom Miss Lin married, had an average appearance and a low-income family, she only looked at him a few times because he was treating you.
But people really cannot be judged by their appearance. This time their Jia family suffered such a disaster, not many people could not escape.
But Xie Yu only took care of them because of Sister Lin. It is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed, and it is not easy.
I heard that this time, the best Dazhuangzi in our country was given to them to live in.
There are some words that are on my mind, so I can only keep them in my mind and dare not say them, otherwise I will be embarrassed. What do you ask Sister Lin to do?
Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Baoyu who was avoiding her, wanting to see but not daring to look at her.
There are so many words in my heart at the moment, I really don’t know how to say them.
I remembered that when I first met Jia Baoyu, under the arrangement of Jia Mu, I had room and board with her since childhood.
Because she had no one to rely on, Jia Baoyu was the first heterosexual man she came into contact with. Afterwards, they read miscellaneous books on sexual intercourse together, and she naturally regarded Jia Baoyu as someone to rely on.
The two had similar temperaments, regarded each other as confidants, tested each other, and almost fell in love with each other. They originally thought that if they had him in their hearts, they would marry him.
But fate has no control over people, and it has come to this day.
Thinking back to my grandmother's vision, Xie Yu did not hide after the incident in Jia's house. On the contrary, he didn't care about anything, he was wholehearted and busy.
It's so good, and the Red Sandalwood Castle built with so much effort. Although it is a temporary loan, the cadastral and village deeds have been given to it, which means that it can be given up.
Lin Daiyu saw everything Xie Yu did and said.
But the more Xie Yu behaved like this, the more Lin Daiyu felt grateful and ashamed.
Lin Daiyu has been educated since she was a child. She understands that many of the things she does in the Xie family are actually very good, but Xie Yu doesn't seem to mind at all.
For the sake of hope, she pretended not to know.
But at the same time, I also understood that if I really accepted the three-year agreement, I would definitely be sorry for Xie Yu.
She owes Xie Yu so much now that she will never be able to pay it back in her lifetime.
Reason and emotion are in conflict with each other. This is the hesitation that Lin Daiyu, who has a delicate heart and is too smart, would have.
If those scumbag girls in reality kicked away their first wives as soon as they landed...
If nothing else, even Xie Yu's child bride Yueniang from the previous world was very determined.
He consciously did everything he could, left Xie Yu decisively, and went to find his own happiness.
However, he had some bad luck. He met a scumbag and was finally taken in by Xie Yu, which was not a bad result.
…
Speaking of Xie Yu, he is now going to see Jia She off. In fact, among the male elders in the two houses, Jia She is the best to Lin Daiyu.
Although Jia She was lecherous, he was also kind-hearted. As an eldest brother, he cared for his younger sister Jia Min. After Jia Min passed away, this care naturally fell on Lin Daiyu.
In fact, Jia She can be regarded as a supporter of Bao Daiyu, but he is not so firm. He even thinks that it is okay to let Jia Huan marry Lin Daiyu. He just wants Lin Daiyu to stay in the house and be taken care of.
Xie Yu gave the pressure man some silver coins to take good care of him, and also prepared some daily necessities for Jia She and Mrs. Xing, especially cotton-padded clothes and quilts.
After all, Rosewood Castle is in a remote Zhuangzi. It is sparsely populated and cannot compare with the city. There was still snow on this day, so it was even colder.
Xie Yu let Jia She drink the farewell wine and watched them leave in the prison car. After all, Jia She had an official position before, so he still had a car to ride in, even though it was a prison car with air leakage from all sides.
But Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, who now have their own thoughts, have each other in their hearts, and have their own concerns. Their eyes met many times along the way, and indeed they didn't say a word.
On the other hand, She Yue and Xi Ren accompanied Jia Baoyu and spoke a lot, but most of these words were auspicious words to escape the disaster. In addition, they were in agitated moods, so they naturally did not pay attention to the occasional glances between Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu.
When they arrived at Red Sandalwood Castle, Xue Baochai, who had arrived a day earlier, had already made some simple arrangements. Being bound by the feudal ethics and rules, she led Ying'er regardless of the cold. Now Zhuangkou was waiting for her husband's arrival at the door.
Hou Ying'er couldn't stand the cold outside, so she went back to the house first.
Fortunately, when he finally saw the car coming, Xue Baochai couldn't help but rush forward excitedly.
But after getting off the bus, the scene seemed a little awkward, but I don't know who was embarrassed...
After a long time, Lin Daiyu finally said a word, but it was also to Xue Baochai: "Sister Bao, I will leave him to you."
Xue Baochai: "It's been a hard journey for my sister. Please go inside and have a cup of hot water to keep warm."
Lin Daiyu shook her head and said: "Sister Bao, this Red Sandalwood Castle is not bad. You can live here with peace of mind. I will visit you again as time goes by. There are still things in the house, so I won't stay any longer."
Seeing Lin Daiyu get back on the carriage and return to the city, Jia Bao looked at Lin Daiyu's carriage going away and whispered:
"I know you're fine as long as you're fine, and I'm fine too. Don't think too much about me. Live well, live well..."
Xue Baochai and Xi Ren met each other at first sight and each had their own thoughts.
Xi Ren thought: "Why did I get it wrong at the beginning? If Mr. Bao married Miss Lin, I would not..."
Xue Baochai was indeed more realistic. Thinking of Jia Zhengtuo, Mrs. Wang, he handed over the contract account book and some money of the Red Sandalwood Castle to her and gave it to her.
These definitely cannot be compared with the tens of thousands of taels of silver spent by the original Duke's Mansion every month.
But now there are fewer people and less things to do, so we can save some money. Even if we calculate it roughly, it is quite a lot.
But I think of the original conduct of the current family. Xue Baochai was worried that it might not be enough. It seemed that he had to live a very economical life and could not just keep talking about it.
But no matter what, now that her husband Jia Baoyu is back, there is always hope.
By the way, Jia Baoyu also needs to be urged to study more and make progress. She doesn't want to be a peasant woman all her life.
Indeed, there are still people left in the Ning and Rong mansions who came to the Red Sandalwood Castle. Although most of them are scattered, and although they are certainly not as prestigious as the thousands of people in the original mansion, there are still hundreds of people in the "loyal" branch.
Most of the people in the Rongguo Mansion are headed by Jia Zheng, and a few in the Ningguo Mansion are headed by Jia Qiang. However, considering seniority and qualifications, the family is headed by Mrs. Jia Zheng.
Since Xue Baochai is the legitimate daughter-in-law of the second master Bao, it is natural for her to be the official official. After all, Mrs. Wang is old and can only be the chairman of the board, and Xue Baochai is the general manager.
Of course, Jia Zhu's legacy, Jia Lan's mother, and Li Wan were also asked to serve as deputy managers to assist Xue Baochai's work.
However, Li Wan's main task is to take care of his grandchildren Jia Lan and Qiao Jie together with Heping'er.
The main job of the housekeeper is still done by Xue Baochai. Although it is difficult in this regard, they have just experienced a disaster at this time, and they all know the situation. They are still relatively united and can discuss anything.
After all, when they first arrived, they had absolutely nothing.
Lin Daiyu first took out all her dowry and her monthly savings over the past few years to subsidize it.
Xie Yu also took two thousand taels of silver and gave them to Jia Zheng, as well as the revenue account deed of the Red Sandalwood Castle, so that they could settle down.
It's not that you can't give more, Xie Yu is very rich now, especially since he teamed up with Wei Ruolan and the others to rob half of the country. Although the share ratio is not high, the base number is too large.
Even now, many things have not been fully realized, just because there is a fear of overshadowing the relationship.
Besides, the current situation in this remote village is an economic environment that favors self-sufficiency among small farmers. Even if you have money, you may not be able to spend it.
Of course, Xie Yu also said that they should prepare a demand list, and after reporting it uniformly, they would send things over every few days.
It will not cause them to lose contact with the outside world.
But no matter what, compared with the previous life in Jia's house, life was in heaven and on earth.
The days to come will definitely be more difficult.
Of course, it's better than waiting to die in jail, waiting to be sold, or even sent to a brothel.
Moreover, Xie Yu assured Jia Zheng that Mrs. Jia's mother's three-year period of filial piety has passed.
This rumor should be over. He must join forces with Wei Ruolan to seek justice for the Jia family. It is not impossible to rehabilitate and regain the honor of being a public official in the Hall of Honor.
With the hope of honoring our ancestors, the familiar and sweet Yutian Bijaponica rice, Yutian Rouge honey rice, and red fragrant rice have become the white Japonica rice produced in the red sandalwood village.
After all, when we are just starting to open up land, we need to get some crops that are durable, at least when it comes to taste...
Everyone knows that crops with good tolerance naturally have a relatively poor taste, not to mention this ancient society without scientific breeding.
Wearing brocade and silk, brocade and expensive clothes, turned into coarse linen clothes, commoners and cotton-padded jackets.
Besides, silk, brocade, tapestry, cloud brocade, etc., although they are beautiful to look at, in this Zhuangzi, cotton is more practical.
This cotton is naturally produced in Zhuangzi, and there is a hydraulic textile workshop in Zhuangzi. Although it is a bit bloated, it is enough to be self-sufficient.
The habit of wearing gold and jade has to be changed to simple copper jewelry and silver makeup, and even having to work hard, I have to accept it.
Besides, the current Jia family does not need to let outsiders see it for the sake of dignity.
For this reason, Jia Zheng also set an example by going to Zhuangzi every day in the cold weather. He would tell anyone who dared to be extravagant and wasteful.
The disaster awakened people, and a new image of Huang Shiren emerged.
Mrs. Wang, who has been pampered all her life, has also begun to wear bulky homespun cotton clothes. The newly purchased Guanyin statue on the side of the bedroom is just a paper portrait?
It was Jia Zheng who drew it all by himself.
But Mrs. Wang is indeed very contented. She has experienced a house raid and a life in prison. What she thinks about at this time is that the family is reunited and safety is the most important thing.
Especially when Aunt Zhao died of illness as if she was possessed by an evil spirit, she gave up all her thoughts of holding a grudge.
But the more this happened, the troubled couple made Jia Zheng think back to those years, and the relationship between the two became even better, and it seemed like the young couple would come to stay with them all the time.
Let's go back to Jia Zheng, or after experiencing the catastrophe, I saw something different again, thinking that I would wait for the spring to experience the realm of farming and reading of the ancients.
Although most of the farmland in this village is planted with wheat by Xie Yu, there are some areas near water sources that can be used to grow some rice.
Just take it seriously as a filial piety to old lady Jia Mu and live a simple life.
These people have experienced the catastrophe of falling from the sky to the earth, and they have to live a new life. At first, they were worried, but they still know what it means to be frugal.
After sending Jia She off, it was indeed cold enough today, so Xie Yu went back home first.
Just after it warmed up for a while, Lingguan came back. Xie Yu understood what she meant, and Jia Qiang was now released.
At this time, the Jia family was at its most depressed and had no status. The senior official who felt he was not worthy of Jia Qiang felt that he had a chance.
Xie Yu also encouraged this. After all, there were not many good marriages in the book Red Mansions.
If he could find a way to help Liu Xianglian and Third Sister You, Siqi and her cousin Pan Youan, Xie Yu would naturally help Quan Lingguan and Jia Qiang.
So Xie Yu went to arrange a car and asked Ling Guan to bring more available supplies to take her to Red Sandalwood Castle.
However, after sending off the senior official, I saw that Lin Daiyu's car had come back, so I thought she would spend the night at the Red Sandalwood Castle and have a good chat with Jia Baoyu, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
But on the other hand, thinking about it, now is the time when Jia Baoyu is at his most depressed, and Jia Baoyu's real wife Xue Baochai is also there.
Maybe it's not easy to talk. It'll be better to say goodbye after a few days when I've settled down and my head has calmed down.
Only then, Zijuan came over.
Zijuan: "Uncle, the girl is crying again, why don't you go and take a look!"
Xie Yu: "Crying? It should be tears of joy after seeing each other again after a long separation."
"Zijuan, don't make such a fuss. Your young lady is in good health now. Crying occasionally is not only harmless to the body, but it can dissipate emotions and is good for the body."
Zijuan: "Is that true? But I always feel that the girl wants to call you."
Xie Yu: "Call me? Is there something wrong?"
Zijuan: "I don't even know!"
Xie Yu: "Maybe it's something about Zhuangzi. Let me go and take a look."
After Lin Daiyu returned home, her pessimistic personality took over again. With various thoughts in her mind, and when she thought of Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai again, tears flowed down involuntarily.
When Zijuan saw it before, she naturally asked: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
"My uncle and the others have come back safely in the past two days. You are very happy!"
Lin Daiyu did not answer Zijuan's question, but just wiped her tears and said, "Is my uncle back?"
Zijuan: "Girl, my uncle and you came back only a few quarters of an hour earlier than girl!"
