Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

Because of the handover of Lin Ruhai's official duties and Meng Yan's engagement, it was more than a month before the Lin family left Yangzhou.After more than a month, it is already approaching the twelfth lunar month, because this year is the first New Year after Emperor Jingxing ascended the throne, Master Yan and Mrs. Yan will also return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year; therefore, not only Lin Ruhai's family, but also Yan's family returned to Beijing this time. The four masters of Dayan's family.

Because Yan Chengze and Meng Yan were already engaged, the two could be regarded as serious in-laws. Yan Chengze went to Lin's mansion to discuss with Lin Ruhai, and agreed that the two would return to Beijing together.

Early in the morning, the servants of the entire Lin Mansion were busy, carrying things out of the Lin Mansion, and one after another the carriages pulled the full loads to the pier.In fact, the shipment started yesterday, and what remains today are all heavy things.

Meng Yan looked around and saw that the house was empty. This was the place where she had lived for nearly ten years, and she was really sad to leave now.She is afraid that she will never come back to live here again when she goes to the capital this time, and she doesn't know who will be the master of Feiluan Pavilion in the future.

Lin Ruhai's family lived in trepidation when Lin Ruhai was the censor of salt, and hoped that Lin Ruhai would be transferred to Yangzhou as soon as possible. Now when he left, he felt a lot of reluctance. Looking back on life in Yangzhou, I was interrupted by the eager voice of the servant girl.

"Miss, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan are here. The master and madam asked the servants to invite the young lady over."

It turned out to be Chun Yu, the second-class maidservant next to the Meng family. Lin Ruhai remembered that she had been using the address of Mrs. Meng when Jia Min was there, and this address was used by noble families.The Lin family was originally considered an honorable family, and it was not until Lin Ruhai's generation that they lost their title.Now that he is married to the Yan family, the heir of poetry and etiquette of the Xiangshu family, it reminds Lin Ruhai that the Lin family is now just a noble and scholarly family, so he sends a message to the servants to change their name.

He is still the master, Meng's name is changed to wife, Meng Yan's sisters are still young ladies, Meng Zhou, the oldest of the three sons, is called eldest son, Yu Song and Bai, who are under seven years old, are called Song Geer and Bai Geer, Only wait until he is seven years old before changing his name to son.

"Yu'er, did you invite me?"

"If you go back to the eldest lady, Xia Feng has already gone to invite the second lady."

"Okay, let's go then."

After looking back at Feiluan Pavilion, Meng Yan left without looking back.

I met Daiyu on the road, and the sisters went to see Meng Shi together.

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss is here."

The two sisters passed the maid who opened the curtain and entered the room. Mrs. Meng was chatting with Mrs. Yan, and Yan Xuechun sat beside Mrs. Yan and listened.

"Mother."

"Yan'er, Yu'er is here, I'll see the old lady and Miss Yan soon."

"Greetings to mother, greetings to the old lady, I have met Miss Yan."

"Okay, okay, get up soon." The old man Yan immediately smiled when he saw Meng Yan, and rushed to Meng Yan to let her grandson settle down. She was very satisfied with Meng Yan, the granddaughter-in-law.

"Sister Yu'er, come here quickly."

Yan Xuechun also pulled Daiyu to sit next to him, Yan Xuechun and Daiyu hit it off right away; they are both young ladies from a scholarly family, both like poetry and books, and both love to write poems, the two of them chatted best, even better than Meng Yan Talking about it, there is no way that poetry is Meng Yan's weakness, but apart from writing poetry, other Meng Yan can be said to be good at it.

Meng Yan is already engaged, so naturally it is impossible to accompany Yan Xuechun and Daiyu to talk without ignoring Mrs. Yan. She sits next to Mrs. Meng and listens to Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Yan. When Mrs. Yan asks her, she quickly answers.

"It's good to be young. Listening to young girls chatting and laughing makes me feel much younger!"

Old Man Yan watched Yan Xuechun and Daiyu whispering, they were talking and laughing, it made people feel good, not to mention that both of them are beautiful beauties, especially Daiyu, who is young but beautiful But even better than Yan Xuechun.Today's Daiyu is not like the frail and sickly sister Lin in the original book. Although Daiyu is still a little thin, she is healthy, with a rosy complexion and a more cheerful personality.

"Miss Yan is gentle, gentle, talented and good-looking. There is nothing I don't like. Even my introverted Yu'er likes Miss Yan very much. Ever since I met Miss Yan, Yu'er has become a lot more cheerful. After all, this is an old lady. You brought up well."

Meng Yan knew from Yan Chengze that Yan Xuechun was going to enter the palace, and Meng Yan told Meng Shi about it. After Meng Yan knew about Yan Xuechun, she was much more cautious towards Yan Xuechun, and she praised Yan Xuechun both openly and secretly. Of course, Yan Xuechun was indeed a good girl. It is difficult for people to pick out shortcomings and mistakes.

In the eyes of the Meng family, Yan Xue is already the doomed imperial concubine, she is the cousin of Emperor Jing Xing, and her status will definitely not be low after entering the palace, this is one; the second is that Meng Yan will marry Yan Xuechun's elder brother, The Meng family hopes that Yan Xuechun, the future imperial concubine, will like Meng Yan, and that Yan Xuechun will protect Meng Yan a little bit when Meng Yan marries into the Yan family.This is not Meng's delusion. If Yan Xuechun married into another family, she would not be able to control the affairs of her natal family, but Yan Xuechun is a concubine, and her natal family is closely related to her. A word from her can play a big role.

"She is just a skinny, how can I let my in-laws boast like that. But my wife has raised two good daughters, and Yan'er is the one I like the most. Look, Yan'er embroidered and wiped the old woman's forehead. I like the old woman very much." Well." Wiping the forehead was one of the greeting gifts Meng Yan gave to Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan heard Meng Shi boasting that her granddaughter was in a good mood, and seeing Meng Yan, who was sitting next to Meng Shi pretending to be shy, also praised her.

"Where, Yan'er's embroidery skills are no better than your granddaughter's. The clothes you are wearing are embroidered by the second lady. Look how festive the pattern is, and how tight the stitches are..."

The two of you say something to me, you praise my grandson and I praise your daughter.Sitting there, pretending to be shy and pretending to be behind the scenes, Meng Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Could it be that those noble ladies are talking about these unnutritious things when they are together? Listening to these is really torture.Unable to leave Meng Yan, she had to hang her head and continue to pretend to be shy, then her soul entered the space to practice, but she still kept a ray of consciousness out in case Mrs. Yan asked her.

Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Meng are both mothers, and they can't stop talking about their children and grandchildren.

After sitting like this for nearly an hour, the man in the front yard finally sent someone to inform him that he was going to the pier.When they arrived at the pier, Yan Xuechun dragged Daiyu reluctantly, insisting that Daiyu live with her on her boat.

"Sister Yu'er, come to my boat and join me. Let's continue discussing the poem you just said."

"This is not good, how can I go to sister Yan's boat."

Daiyu said with a embarrassed expression, she wanted to be with her sister more, Daiyu looked into Meng Yan's eyes and prayed.When Yan Xuechun saw her looking at Meng Yan, she thought she was afraid that Meng Yan would blame her, and suddenly there was a slight change in her psychology towards Meng Yan.

"Why, Sister Yu'er is afraid that Sister Yan'er won't agree, so I'll go and talk to Sister Yan'er." Meng Yan is one year younger than Yan Xuechun, although Meng Yan is engaged to Yan Chengze but is not married yet, Yan Xuechun can't be called sister-in-law. So I call my sister according to my age.

"No, I only go out with my sister, otherwise I will always feel uneasy."

She always felt that there would always be a malicious stare at her when she left the house, which made her extremely fearful and uneasy, and it would only disappear when she was with her sister; plus Meng Yan's careful care in Qixia Temple for three years, Daiyu She always felt that her sister was protecting her.

It turned out that he had misunderstood, Yan Xuechun blushed, and looked at Meng Yan with apologetic eyes.No matter how sharp Meng Yan's hearing is, how could she not be able to hear what the two of them said? Yan Xuechun felt a little hostile towards her as early as the first time they met.It was all because Yan Chengze spoiled Yan Xuechun too much, and suddenly another person appeared and distracted Yan Chengze's attention, of course Yan Xuechun felt uncomfortable.

"Then, how about I go to your boat."

Yan Xuechun really likes Daiyu. Daiyu is pure in mind, quick-witted, proficient in poetry, good at piano and painting, and has no conflict of interest with Yan Xuechun. In addition, Yan Xuechun has no friends to talk to in Yangzhou, which makes her feel lonely. Showing up gave her someone to talk to.

"How can we do that? Our father is still on the boat. It's not good for you to be on the same boat as my father."

It can be said that the elder sister told her that Yan Xuechun will enter the palace next year when she comes to Beijing this time, but Yan Xuechun is a future imperial concubine who can casually share the boat with foreign ministers, which will damage Yan Xuechun's reputation.Not only that, but it may also harm the Lin family.Daiyu is not Wuxia Ameng who has to be raised carefully now, how could she do things that harm the Lin family.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, that's all, I'd better go back to my own boat." Yan Xuechun was displeased and turned around and boarded her boat with the help of the maid.Yan Xuechun knew that her identity was inappropriate, but mentioning this made her even more unhappy.

Seeing her like this, Daiyu didn't say anything and turned to look for Meng Yan. Daiyu has a high temper, and she would not try to curry favor with Yan Xuechun.

"elder sister."

"What's the matter, don't talk to Miss Yan again."

"No, she's angry."

Daiyu pouted to express her displeasure.Meng Yan shook her head and smiled when she saw her childish little movements, she was really just a child.In fact, Daiyu's temperament is somewhat similar to Yan Xuechun's. Both of them have a bit of aloofness, a bit of self, and they are very spoiled, so they don't want to be angry.

"You." Meng Yan stretched out her hand and nodded Daiyu's head: "I have someone prepare milk-flavored pineapple cakes, and you ask Xuejuan to go to Hongxiao to send some to Miss Yan."

Milky Pineapple Cake is a new pastry developed by Meng Yan, and only the cooks in the Lin Mansion can make it. Meng Yan brought it back to Yan Chengze.

"Elder sister is the best." Daiyu hugged Meng Yan's arm and acted like a spoiled child.

"It's good to know, then get on the boat."

Because of Daiyu's fate, when Daiyu and Yan Xuechun met for the first time, Meng Yan secretly arranged for them to befriend Yan Xuechun for no reason. With Yan Xuechun's future identity, there are only advantages and no disadvantages for Daiyu to befriend her now.

"Miss, Second Miss Lin has someone deliver something."

Yan Xuechun on the Yan's ship was losing his temper in his room, and after hearing the announcement, he became happy again.

"Hurry up and call someone in."

"My maidservant has seen Miss Yan. Miss maidservant asked my maidservant to bring milk-flavored pineapple cakes to Miss Yan."

"Hmph, she's smart, go back and tell her, don't think that a plate of milk-flavored pineapple cakes can buy Miss Ben." At least a whole box is needed, no, three boxes can calm Miss Ben.
