Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

"Miss..." Seeing Meng Yan coming in, Mrs. Min hurriedly got up to greet her.

"Miss Min, you don't need to be polite, just sit down." Meng Yan entered the room and sat on the main seat, Hongxiao stood beside her, and put the tea served by the little maid on the table.After having a stable income, Meng Yan asked Uncle De to buy a few maids and servants from Ren Yazi, and there were servant girls serving tea and water and servants running errands at home.

Miss Min, who was already half up, sat back a little cautiously when she heard the words, and didn't open her mouth to wait for Meng Yan to ask.

Although Meng Yan was young, Mrs. Min did not look down on her. Apart from Uncle De, Mrs. Min was also another person who knew Meng Yan was extraordinary; so she had more gratitude for Meng Yan besides being in awe.Meng Yan reached out to help her when she was most difficult, and gave her a job, and it was a high-income job, so that she could have money to treat her sick husband and support her children for their education.It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that Meng Yan has been kind to her Min family for rebuilding.

"Ms. Min just came from the Lin residence?"

"Miss, don't worry, I came here after going to the shop first; I have handed over the new set of perfume you ordered to Mrs. Lin myself." Mrs. Min told Meng Yan about her going to Lin's mansion. I am very satisfied with Mrs. Min's carefulness and tact.

"How about Mrs. Lin? I heard that Mrs. Lin is a rare beauty. After all, I haven't seen Mrs. Lin yet?" Meng Yan said casually while drinking tea.

"That Mrs. Lin is indeed a rare beauty, with a noble air and a temperament..."

Mrs. Min has met many rich and official wives since she became the shopkeeper of [Yueyifang], but she has to admit that such a beauty as Mrs. Lin is the only one in Yangzhou City.

What about Jia Min? How could she not know that Meng Yan didn't want to say more, so she changed the subject: "So Mrs. Lin is a character, and Mrs. Lin didn't ask anything else?" For example, the owner behind Yueyifang?How is the perfume made... The richer and more powerful people are, the more suspicious they are, especially Lin Ruhai's current position is normal.

"I didn't ask about it, but I think Mrs. Lin will investigate it privately. Mrs. Lin ordered that if there is a new perfume in the future, she can send it to the Lin family first."

Before the new perfume came out, it was always given to the magistrate's wife first. If it was suddenly changed to Mrs. Lin, I'm afraid it would be bad. Being a doctor of Lantai Temple and inspector of salt, he is obviously more powerful than the magistrate. Mrs. Lin is naturally more prestigious than the magistrate's wife, and I don't know if the young lady will accept it.

"Ms. Min has worked hard." She turned her head and looked at Hongxiao: "Make a cup of tea from my new snow buds for Mrs. Min to taste. In addition, Aunt Zhao's new fragrant lotus root cakes are not bad. Go and send some to Hongxiao Give it to Miss Min to taste, and then pack some pastries of various colors and bring them back to Miss Min."

"No, no need. These are all what I should do, and I can't be a reward from Miss." Miss Min panicked and wanted to refuse, but what Meng Yan said would make her refuse.

"It's just something to eat, it's nothing more, Mrs. Min, you don't have to be polite. Speaking of [Yueyifang], it's thanks to Mrs. Min for your hard work. It's too late for me to thank you."

Meng Yan scratched the lid of the cup but didn't drink the tea.

"I'll have to trouble Miss Min to deliver another new set of perfume to Madam Zhifu." Madam Zhifu naturally couldn't neglect that.

"Miss... I see." Mrs. Min raised her head to meet Meng Yan's eyes and saw what Meng Yan meant.The young lady wants her to go to the prefect's wife to talk about it, naturally because of Mrs. Lin's matter.

The two of them were talking about Hong Kao personally bringing tea and serving snacks, followed by a little maid carrying a large food box.Meng Yan said when Hongxiao put the tea and snacks on the table.

"The tea and cakes are good, Mrs. Min have a try."

"Miss Xie."

Meng Yan watched Mrs. Min eat it with her own eyes, and the smile in her eyes was even more smug and genuine.

The two chatted about [Yueyifang] while eating, Madam Min sat for half an hour before getting up to leave, Meng Yan personally sent her out to show her respect.

"Miss, there is no need to send it off, so I will take my leave."

"Walk slowly."

Watching the carriage go away, Meng Yan still stopped to look in the direction of the Lin Mansion. At this time, her mood was either proud or happy or tangled or complicated, and finally tangled.

After all, she couldn't help but make a move. If it works this time, it's really thanks to Mrs. Min.

Mrs. Min came to pick up the perfume today, and she tampered with Mrs. Min. As long as Mrs. Min gets close to Jia Min, Jia Min will definitely be tricked.The medicine she gave is not poison and it will not work alone. It will become a nightmare-causing phantom medicine only when combined with the perfume given to Jia Min.She wanted to use this to remind Jia Min of the insidious things she had done, and it would be better if Jia Min exposed herself.

Although she used Mrs. Min's hands to plot, Meng Yan didn't want to hurt Mrs. Min, so she sent someone to tell Mrs. Min to come here specially. After all, if it's not good for Mrs. Min to come into contact with perfume every day, wouldn't it be her fault? She specially prepared the antidote for Mrs. Min, and she was relieved when she saw Mrs. Min drink it.

Apricot eyes narrowed and looked in the direction of Lin Fu Jia Min, don't blame me, blame only you for wanting Meng Shi's life, but Meng Shi is my biological mother; back.

She will not take Jia Min's life, but she will not let her live so freely. This time, she will let Jia Min pay some interest in advance.

"Miss?" Hongxiao wondered what the lady was looking at, but it was not good for the lady to stand here for so long.

"It's okay, go back."

As he spoke, he turned and entered the door. Suddenly there was a sound of ringing bells not far from the door, which sounded like music; Meng Yan stopped to listen and asked.

"How is this going?"

Hung Hom hurriedly explained, "This is the sound of Taoist monks knocking on wooden fish with percussion music."

"Taoist priests and monks practice rituals? Could it be that something bad happened to one of them?"

This is the first time she has heard of this Taoist practice, and she has seen it on TV before, but she doesn't have a deep impression; her only impression is that Taoist priests will be invited to do it when someone is dead or encounters dirty things, but it is rare in the new century. Few still believe this.

"Miss, you are busy in Xiangfang these days. You don't know. I heard that Yangzhou city is haunted." Hongxiao almost whispered into Meng Yan's ear at the end.

Hearing the unexpected words, Meng Yan exclaimed in surprise: "Haunted?"

This ghost, if it was Meng Yan in her previous life, she would never believe it, but she believed it after she became a ghost; but she still thinks it is impossible to talk about ghosts, not everyone has the experience like her that can float for a few years after being hanged; she But I have seen those who just died and became ghosts, and then they were immediately hooked away by black and white impermanence, and there was no chance for them to float away; so it is not practical to say that they are haunted.

"Shhh, miss, don't shout." Hongxiao was so frightened that she forgot the rules of dignity and stretched out her hand to cover Meng Yan's mouth.

"What are you doing?" Meng Yan waved away Hongxiao's hand a little displeased.

"Miss, you can't talk about it." The young lady must not know that ghost things are the most taboo, but her mother told her not to talk about it.

"What a big fuss, if you have nothing to say, just tell me." Meng Yan gave a red haired look.

"Yes, yes." Meng Yan's stare made her tremble with fright, her young lady was more frightening than those invisible ghosts.

"That's what happened. I heard that about ten days ago, all the flowers in the gardens of the big families in the city disappeared overnight, and not just one family, but almost the flowers in the gardens of the entire north of the city disappeared. The big guys said yes There are ghosts coming, saying that the big family has done immoral things and retribution is coming; but there are also people who say that those big families are rich and unkind, and their officials are dishonest, so the gods and Bodhisattvas sent people to warn them. In short, no matter what kind of people are now The family who lost the flower not only invited Taoist monks to perform rituals, but also gave a lot of donations. This ritual has been done for nearly ten days, and they still donate every day; now many people secretly say that this incident is a good one.”

"Then which one do you think it is?"

"Slaves, servants feel like they are haunted."

"It's all nonsense, it's all right, hurry up and tell your father to make him prepare. Madam will take the young master to study at Minglu Academy in a few days."

"It's Miss."

Seeing Honghao running away, Meng Yan shook her head, Honghao was not as stable as her brother Songmo.

The sound of bells and wooden fishes standing outside and outside the yard continued to be heard, such hauntings and divine punishments, it was nonsense, she had obviously picked those flowers.

But she really didn't expect to make such a big commotion, but Meng Yan suddenly felt as if she had done something good after hearing these people's donations.You must know that although these wealthy families are very rich, they are not very stingy at ordinary times, and they are reluctant to spend a penny to do good deeds. They would rather spend the money on seeking pleasure and fighting for wealth.

Of course, Meng Yan doesn't have the idea of ​​hating the rich. After all, if someone has money, he earns it himself. No matter what method he uses, he earns it by himself; Virtue is better.Her making a fuss helped them and gave them a chance to do good deeds, didn't they?Meng Yan thought brazenly, she wasn't at all embarrassed because she caused such a big incident.

Meng Yan is not in the mood to pay attention to those things, there are more important things waiting for her to do now.

Little Treasure is going to study and she has to prepare several suitable teacher apprenticeship ceremonies. Master Yan of Minglu Academy is not so easy to please.

Fortunately, she had stayed in the academy when she was Ah Piao, and knew that Master Yan was good at calligraphy and painting, liked to play chess and famous tea, so she followed suit. Coupled with Xiaobao's intelligence and talent, she thought it would be possible; Backhand, but she doesn't want to use it now, she is waiting for more useful time.

But now she has to think about where to get those calligraphy, painting, chess and tea.Chess tea is nothing to worry about, she recently got a few pieces of original pieces which are perfect for making chess; as for tea, her new snow buds are stored in the space for a few days, and the taste is definitely better than tribute tea.The difficulty is calligraphy and painting. These antiques are not easy to find, but as far as she knows, Master Yan's calligraphy in Tang Dynasty and Gu Gong's landscape painting in Han Dynasty are very popular in Lin Fu. Lin Fu has a rich collection; It's a pity that she can't move in Yangzhou City.She has to remember where there are places she visited so that she can borrow them.
