Where did Lin Daiyu's fortune go, and was hit home by Wang Xifeng?

Lin Daiyu is a native of Gusu, and her ancestors once attacked Liehou. Originally, she only attacked the third generation, but "because of today's long grace and virtue, she is far ahead of the previous generation and has additional benefits", and Lin Daiyu's grandfather attacked another generation. Hereditary families, not to mention the money gathered at home, just selling houses, land and other property is also a lot of money. For Lin Daiyu's father, Lin Ruhai, who was born in Kedi, was "appointed as a salt supervisor", which is also a lucrative job. The book also said, "The Lin family is not prosperous, and their descendants are limited. Although there are several doors, they are all just Tang doors like the sea, and there is little support for the ordinary clique. "Lin Ruhai has a daughter named Lin Daiyu, who is the sole heir to his property after his death. However, A Dream of Red Mansions made no mention of this property of Lin Daiyu. Where did it go?

We know that many things in A Dream of Red Mansions are "written without writing", that is to say, although the author didn't say it directly, we can feel it from some details in the book. Today, we will discuss where this legacy of Daiyu went.

First of all, this asset must be available. Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, and the Grandmother Jia and others showed her around. Grandma Liu praised Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion as "even better than that study". Xue Baochai's Wu Hengyuan is actually a "snow cave". Because of the money, the decoration is so good. Baochai is slightly inferior to Lin Daiyu in money. On the 25th, Wang Xifeng joked with Lin Daiyu about tea, saying that Lin Daiyu had eaten their tea and wanted Lin Daiyu to marry their Baoyu as his wife. She also pointed to Baoyu and said, "You see, people, families, foundations and furniture are not worthy. Who else has been defiled? " Although it is a joke, we can learn some information from her words: although Lin Daiyu is alone in Jia's family, her ancestors are as prominent as Jia's, and her family wealth is no worse than Baoyu's. Although Lin Daiyu has become an orphan, she is still a suitable match for Baoyu in the eyes of Xifeng, which shows that Lin Daiyu is very rich at an early age.

So where is this legacy? Does Lin Daiyu have the right to dominate?

As we know, when Lin Daiyu first entered Jia Fu, Lin Ruhai was still there. At this time, what she brought must be a small part, enough for her to eat and wear on weekdays. Sending Jia Yucun, who is not related by blood, to escort her to Beijing also means that she doesn't have much money. The twelfth time, Lin Ruhai was seriously ill and sent a messenger all the way to pick up her daughter Lin Daiyu. She must be very ill. Considering everything, Jia Jia sent her most trusted grandson Jia Lian to escort Lin Daiyu back and told him to bring her back anyway. Why do you want to send Jia Lian? Because although Jia Lian likes some women in easy virtue, she is not bad-hearted or harmful, which can be seen in many places in the book. The second time, Leng Zixing also said that although he didn't like reading, he "changed his luck in the world and started talking". In this way, after the death of Lin Ruhai, Jia Lian will properly handle the problem of Lin Daiyu's legacy and bring it back to Jia Fu with her-because there is no one else in Lin Daiyu's home!

Where did Lin Daiyu's ancestral legacy go? I think it's with Jia Mu. This can be seen from the words of Wang Xifeng and Pinger. The fifty-fifth time, Wang Xifeng told Pinger about the recent situation of the Jia family. Pinger said that there were still three or four girls at home, and two or three boys were still unmarried. Xifeng said with a smile, "I care about this, too, but it's enough: Baoyu and Sister Lin can get rid of the official money, and the old lady has her own ladder." Wang Xifeng said. At least twenty-two thousand each! Jia spent so much money for them that she had to leave more in her hand. Why did Wang Xifeng say with such certainty that Grandmother Jia "took out the ladder herself"? Because she knew that Jia Lian brought back Lin Daiyu's money and gave it to her grandmother for safekeeping.

Jia's own daughter died, leaving this granddaughter. Can Daiyu run out of money? That's why Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion is impressive.
