[Red Chamber] Madam's wishes come true

What's more, it wasn't Lin Ying's wedding that they had met, but Qin Keqing's wedding.

Because the family that Qin Keqing married had a close relationship with Zhen Fu's former boss, Mr. Hu, and Mr. Hu admired Zhen Fu very much. After learning that Zhen Fu hadn't gone out for several months in order to solve his own problems, he went Come to the door in person and take Zhen Fu and his wife to the banquet.

Master Hu took good care of Zhen Fu in the past, and now he is kind, so Zhen Fu naturally couldn't refuse.

But he also understood that Lin Kou didn't want to participate in the weddings of the girls whose identities were changed together. He imagined that Lin Kou said that if she appeared at one of the weddings, people would inevitably be reminded of what happened back then, and then...

It is said that it is impossible to see it as a monkey, but it is really not a good experience to be whispered behind the back.

Unexpectedly, Lin Wu also had a good relationship with that third-rank official.

Several people from General Zhen Guo's Mansion were going to attend the banquet. Lin Wu thought about it and thought it might be a good opportunity for the whole family to show up, so he asked Lin Kou to ask him a question.

After thinking about it, Lin Kou simply agreed.

It's just that Lin Kou couldn't help being a little curious about this third-rank official.

Qin Keqing is the same age as Lin Kou, she is 22 this year, and will be 23 after the next year. It sounds like she is very old in this age, but in Lin Kou's eyes, this is still the prime of life.

But the third-rank official that Lin Kou inquired about was not too old, but he was already in his 40s.

There are five sons and daughters in total, all of whom are descendants of the first son and concubine.

But this kind of situation was quite normal in ancient times, and Lin Kou couldn't say anything.

Although, Lin Kou felt that it was not worth it for Qin Keqing to sacrifice her own happiness for a worthless younger brother——

After all, this Qin Zhong not only looked down on Qin Keqing's elder sister very much in Dream of the Red Chamber, but even hang out with the little nun Zhizhier at Qin Keqing's funeral, and was even caught by Jia Baoyu.

Really, Lin Kou felt that Qin Keqing's sacrifice was not worth it at all.

But this was Qin Keqing's own choice, and no one else could comment on it.

Soon came the day of Qin Keqing's wedding, Lin Kou and his wife had lunch together, and accompanied Zhen Fu to do a set of test papers. Seeing that the time was almost up, they went to the third-rank official with Zhen Fu in a carriage s home.

When they arrived, they happened to meet the welcoming procession going out.

Lin Kou glanced from a distance, and found that the one riding the horse was an ordinary-looking man, but because of his full beard, he didn't look like an old man in his early forties, but in fact he was in his fifties.

Although the body looks quite tough, but think of the evaluation of Qin Keqing in Dream of Red Mansions, it is both the beauty of Baochai and Daiyu, and then think about the appearance of Daiyu Baochai: "..."

Pity.

After entering the door, Zhen Fu was quickly led to the male guests by the servant girl, while Lin Kou followed the maidservant to the place where the female relatives gathered in the backyard.

As soon as Lin Kou entered, she saw the two sister-in-laws, and of course Lan Yun.

Lan Yun looked a lot more haggard than when Lin Kou saw her last time, but she was still arrogant when facing the two daughters-in-law, as if she hadn't learned enough lessons.

Lin Kou frowned, and simply walked over.

As soon as Lan Yun saw Lin Kou, she subconsciously began to curse, but remembering that the previous confrontation with Lin Kou not only did not make Lin Kou angry, but also made her angry, she could only swallow the words that slipped out of her mouth go back.

Seeing this, the two sister-in-laws couldn't help but look at each other.

Lin Kou just nodded to them, and quickly picked up the melon and fruit snacks and began to eat, without any intention of talking to anyone.

When Lin Kou had almost finished eating the melon and fruit snacks in front of her, Mrs. Lin ignored Lan Yun's eyes, and simply put all the snacks next to her in front of Lin Kou.

Lin Kou glanced at her, thanked her, and continued to eat.

In ancient times, weddings were held at dusk. Fortunately, Lin Kou and the others came late, and they didn't have to wait too long before they heard the sound of joy.

After getting married and paying homage, Lin Kou and Zhen Fu consciously completed the task, talked to Lan Yun and left.

Not long after Qin Keqing's marriage ended, she heard that Miaoyu's and Lin Ying's marriages had ended one after another, but Lin Kou had nothing to do with those two families, so she didn't attend the wedding.

Not long after the wedding of the three of them ended, it was New Year's Eve.

Lin Kou and Zhen Fu had a hot pot dinner at home, washed up and went to bed.

The noise from the firecrackers and fireworks outside the window made people's ears hurt. Although Lin Kou had gotten used to it over the years, he still found it very noisy and couldn't sleep well.

Zhen Fu noticed and stretched out two hands to cover her ears.

Lin Kou rubbed his hand and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at Lin Kou's sleeping face, Zhen Fu thought about the ordinary but warm daily life these years, couldn't help but smiled, and closed her eyes.

Another year passed peacefully.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Kou and Zhen Fu put two reclining chairs under the big tree in the yard, did nothing but lay down in the sun for a day with snacks of fruits and melons.

On the second day of junior high school, Lin Kou and Zhen Fu first went to the Zhenguo General's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and then had lunch. They listened to Lan Yun muttering that he was not friendly to his sisters, and even his sister's wedding was not good. If he didn't attend, he left soon with the red envelope that Lin Wu said was to make up for the missing in the past.

Passing by Lin's house on the way, I went in directly to have a New Year's Eve dinner. A few adults and a group of children sat and talked for a while, and then heard Jia Min's old story reminded her to have a baby, and then returned home.

After the new year, Lin Kou will be 23.

It's been only a few years since he came to this world, but Lin Kou always feels that he's getting old.

But as soon as his eyes fell on Zhen Fu, seeing him frowning while he was doing the test paper, Lin Kou couldn't help but smile knowingly, forgetting all the old and not old in an instant, and only felt that he was full of vitality, almost as old as he was. Like studying at school.

No, she wasn't as handsome as Zhen Fu when she was in school.

Lin Kou lay down in front of Zhen Fu, and while he was concentrating on thinking, she leaned over and kissed his forehead.

Zhen Fu was taken aback, raised his head and smiled helplessly at her, reached out and grabbed Lin Kou's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, then continued to work on the problem.

It can be said to be quite focused.

Lin Kou snickered, contentedly lay beside her and ate sunflower seeds.

Zhen Fu was not affected at all, and continued to concentrate on the questions.

At this time, Zhen Fu had replaced the quill pen with a brush, and the font had returned to the pavilion style for the exam. His writing speed slowed down, but he had more time to think.

Even if she is used to it, Zhen Fu occasionally has some relatively mild adverse reactions.

Every time she finds out, Lin Kou doesn't need to do anything more. She raised her hand and knocked on the gong, which immediately awakened the sad memories of Zhen Fu's plunge into the sea of ​​questions before, and instinctively concentrated on starting to do the questions.

After such a period of time, Zhen Fu gradually got used to the environment and rhythm of doing the questions, even though he was writing with a brush and doing the printed test papers, and soon he was completely the same as ordinary people.

There is more than a year left, which should be enough for Zhen Fu to adapt to the examination room.

After all, Zhen Fu's idea of ​​actively cooperating with the treatment is quite strong. As long as the method is confirmed to be effective, Zhen Fu has always been 100% complete.

Soon, Lin Kou took out the number room that he had made earlier.

But this number room is the one where the four walls are directly removed from the waist position of an adult.

There are bed boards and stoves, charcoal fires and bedding, candles and test papers...

Just no walls.

Zhen Fu was taken aback, then turned to look at Lin Kou: "Is that okay?"

Lin Kou laughed: "Go in first and try to see if you have any bad reactions. As long as you can persist, we can take our time."

It's not that Lin Kou never thought about letting Zhen Fu enter the number room directly, but every time she looked at the full version of the number room, she couldn't help but hear the reaction that Zhen Fu fainted when she saw it before. Start with the external environment of the room.

As long as Zhen Fu knew, these things were directly removed from the number room.

Zhen Fu did know, but thinking of Lin Kou accompanying him during the treatment, he seemed to be filled with infinite courage, so he walked in without hesitation at all.

To be honest, even though all four walls were removed, Zhen Fu still felt a little uncomfortable.

But it was very slight, within the range he could bear.

So Zhen Fu nodded at Lin Kou.

After Lin Kou was sure that Zhen Fu could persevere, she took out a set of test papers for him.

At the beginning, Zhen Fu's hands trembled when he wrote a few words, but slowly, he found the feeling of doing the questions, and soon he was immersed in the tension of doing the questions, and he couldn't remember what he was doing now. out of place.

Lin Kou heaved a sigh of relief. During this period of time, doing a lot of questions is still effective.

At the end of the day, Lin Kou personally went over and led Zhen Fu out, and then went back to the room to wash and rest together: "We will get used to it gradually, and it will definitely get better and better in the future."

Zhen Fu remembered how he felt when he was doing the questions today, and nodded seriously.

Xu Shi has been resisting the discomfort of his body to do the questions today. Zhen Fu fell asleep after lying on the bed for a while.

Lin Kou reached out to touch his eyes, and simply squeezed into his arms and fell asleep.

Continue the next day.

When Zhen Fu finally got used to this semi-residual version of the room and could directly move the number room to the wall and fill up the wall behind him, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng finally set off to discuss business.

Although the relationship between Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian has improved a lot in recent years, Jia Lian's love for flowers and lust has not changed, but it is not as indulgent and absurd as before. So he decided to go out with Jia Lian altogether.

Qiaojie stayed at Jia's house and took care of her in the old lady's room.

Although the old lady was partial to Jia Baoyu, she also knew that Jia Lian and his wife were not just going out for themselves, so naturally there was no reason to refuse.

It's just that she was getting old, and worried that she wouldn't be able to take good care of Qiaojie, so she took Ping'er to her room to take care of Qiaojie.

Ping'er still has no status, but after the accident in Jia's family, both Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian chose to redeem her with money at the first time, and she was already very satisfied.

What's more, after the Jia family's accident, the relationship between Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian became better, and Ping'er no longer needed to make sandwich biscuits between the two of them to be angry on both sides, so life in the past few years has been much better than before. She was satisfied with this, and did not pursue that vain status.

As soon as Jia Lian and his wife left, Jia Baoyu's rouge was finally made according to Lin Kou's request.

Lin Kou himself didn't like makeup very much, so he simply divided the rouge and gouache Jia Baoyu sent into four parts and gave them to Jia Min and Lan Yunhe's two sister-in-laws.

After a few people tried it, they were all very satisfied, and asked Lin Kou where she bought those rouges, and wanted to buy them back when they were used up.

That's all for the three women in General Zhen Guo's mansion, but Jia Min didn't even know who made the rouge.

Lin Kou thought it was funny, after all, this business was started under Jia Min's nose.

She told the four of them that this kind of rouge would be sold in the Lin family's rouge shop soon, and even asked her to ask Daiyu in a letter to Jia Min.

After all, that shop now belongs to Daiyu.

Lin Kou couldn't help laughing whenever he thought of Jia Min's possible reaction.

Zhen Fu was working on a test, and when he heard Lin Kou's laughter, he couldn't help but raise his head: "My lord examiner, you will be jailed for making noise in the examination room."

Lin Kou burst into laughter: "I understand, thank you for reminding this examinee."

The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Soon, Zhen Fu got used to adding the back wall, and Lin Kou asked someone to nail a plank on the wall, which was considered to have filled the top wall.

Zhen Fu couldn't see this wall at ordinary times, and it couldn't have any influence on him, so it only took Zhen Fu two days to fully adapt, and soon added the wall on the right.

It takes a long time to get used to this wall. After all, when writing and answering questions, I can always see this wall from the corner of my eye.

But even this wall seemed to adapt faster than Lin Kou imagined.

In just one month, Zhen Fu completely adapted.

And when the rouge gouache produced by Jia Baoyu completely exploded in the capital, and countless wives and ladies were willing to spend a lot of money to buy rouge at the Lin family rouge shop, Zhen Fu had even fully adapted to the existence of the number room.

Lin Kou is a little strange, it's not been half a year yet.

She originally thought that it would take at least a year for Zhen Fu to fully adapt to the No. [-] room, but she didn't expect Zhen Fu to fully adapt to the No. [-] room in less than half a year.

Even if Lin Kou got the whole of the number room out, Zhen Fu could still enter without changing his face.

Even if Lin Kou asked Zhen Fu to do the questions for three consecutive days in the numbered room and let him stay in the room, Zhen Fu would not be affected at all.

Lin Kou didn't even need to knock the gong.

Facing Lin Kou's doubts, Zhen Fu said: "Madam may not feel anything, but I can feel it myself. In the later stage, no matter how panicked I am, as long as I see Madam, I can quickly calm down."

So, she became like a tranquilizer?

Lin Kou was both happy and worried: "But when you enter the examination room, I can't possibly follow you in."

Therefore, we still have to continue to desensitize.

Of course Zhen Fu also knew: "Didn't you go back to your room at night? I didn't have any adverse reactions, so it should be fine if you take your time."

Lin Kou thought about it and nodded.

She began to consciously reduce the time she spent in front of Zhen Fu. At first, she was there all day long, and then she would leave Zhen Fu's sight from time to time. Later, it changed from one day to half a day, and half a day to a whole day. None of them are in front of Zhen Fu.

Zhen Fu didn't seem to respond at all?

Just when Lin Kou wondered if he had made a mistake, Daiyu Baochai waited for the little girl to come to the door, and chirped to explain the purpose of her visit.

Tanchun was about to cry angrily: "It's not that Baoyu is useless, he knows that the rouge formula is the foundation of his money, and he can only earn so much money by selling rouge in the past few months to maintain Jia's family. He didn't think about hiding the expenses of so many people, but he just showed the prescription to others!"

Yingchun couldn't say anything, just thinking of the recent changes, tears fell like beads.

Xichun's face was sullen, with a rather ugly expression.

Even Shi Xiangyun, who has always loved his older brother and loved his younger brother, has a bad expression at the moment.

Seeing this, Baochai hurriedly said: "Baoyu trusts the maids around her too much, and she is completely unguarded against them, but unexpectedly, the Xiren directly wrote down the prescription secretly. A few days ago, Xiren's mother took The money redeemed her back, and within a few days, a small stall selling rouge appeared on the street, the price was more than half cheaper than ours, but the quality was almost the same."

Daiyu followed with a sigh: "Except for the color, which is not as much as Baoyu's, everything else is almost exactly the same as Baoyu's. We only found out about the existence of that small stall after the sales dropped a lot this month."

Lin Kou frowned and looked behind them, "Where's Baoyu?"

Tanchun opened his mouth and said angrily, "Baoyu has been hit hard, and now he's a little confused again."

Lin Kou: "..."

She didn't know what to say for a while.

But Baoyu has such a temperament, she had expected it before she spoke, and she was not disappointed when she heard this.

She thought for a while, and said, "The key to solving this matter lies in Baoyu."

Daiyu was smart, and immediately thought of the reason: "Sister, you want Baoyu to make more colors of rouge, or to make rouge with a completely different texture from the current one?"

Lin Kou nodded: "Actually, even if there is no attacker, there will be other people who have researched the formula of rouge. There is no way to avoid this. To avoid the influence of these people, all you need to do is Constantly introduce new colors and new products, and make rouge a reputation through continuous research and development. At that time, even a few people will still develop the same rouge because of others, but most customers will still be because of yours. Because of word of mouth, we continue to choose the rouge made by Baoyu.”

"You'd better give these rouges a name, and then number the different colors or give them an alias. It will be convenient for everyone to buy. When you see the color you like in other places, ask about it. It will only be the name you set, and naturally it will only be bought at your house."

Cosmetics, except for the most classic ones, are really super updated.

If there is no brand to support it, it will be eliminated by the market.

Even if there was no attack, sooner or later Lin Kou would have to remind this group of young girls who were devoted to their careers but didn't know much about business.

Among all the girls, Baochai has the most exposure to business. After hearing Lin Kou's words, one, two, three... benefits of launching a brand almost immediately appeared in her mind.

Baochai became more and more convinced of Lin Kou.

Several little girls came in a hurry, left in a hurry, and soon left Lin Kou's house.

Lin Kou looked out of the window and glanced at Zhen Fu who was doing the problem. She didn't seem to notice anything unusual, so she lowered her head and continued with her previous behavior, only to see Bai Xue come in with a panicked expression: "Ma'am is not well. trembling, and he forbade us to call the doctor, it was so scary!"

Lin Kou stood up in an instant, and soon came to Zhen Fu.

But Zhen Fu has returned to normal, only the cold sweat on the forehead shows the previous unrest.

"What's going on? Didn't there be no reaction before?" Lin Kou was extremely surprised.

Zhen Fu thought about it for a moment, and replied: "It should be after Daiyu waited for a few girls to enter the door, I..." He paused and frowned, "I didn't seem to feel your sight, so I suddenly started to feel palpitations and panic, my forehead I also started to break out in a cold sweat. After a few girls leave, I will leave and get better."

Or because of yourself?

Lin Kou repeated Zhen Fu's previous words: "Can you feel my gaze?"

Zhen Fu smiled wryly: "After all, I used to be a spy. If I wasn't keen enough to see others, I'm afraid I would have been discovered by others."

Lin Kou was helpless: "Why didn't you tell me before?"

Zhen Fu was a little embarrassed: "I thought it would have no effect, after all, I can't see you..."

Who would have thought...

Lin Kou looked at Zhen Fu helplessly: "It seems that you still need to be treated for a while."

Recalling the feeling just now, Zhen Fu subconsciously grabbed Lin Kou's hand, and the two held hands together for a while. Zhen Fu finally calmed down and nodded seriously at Lin Kou: "I believe in you!"

Lin Kou smiled, and simply pulled him up: "Rest today, let's start tomorrow."

Zhen Fu didn't refuse, and walked out of the room directly.

"Did you have a serious reaction before?" Lin Kou asked him as he walked, "Do you have the feeling of blackness in front of your eyes?"

Zhen Fu thought for a while, then shook his head: "That's not true, it's just palpitations and panic, and the whole body is weak and sweating."

This is also very serious.

It's just that compared to the reaction of fainting when I first saw the number room, it's a lot easier.

It seems that the treatment during this period is really helpful.

Lin Kou directly asked the kitchen staff to prepare a pot of spicy crabs and a pot of spicy snails. The husband and wife sat together and ate heartily, and slept soundly that night.

The next day, Zhen Fu's treatment began.

After Lin Kou personally sent Zhen Fu into the number room, he got ready to go out in the carriage.

Seeing this, Zhen Fu panicked: "Where is Madam going?"

Lin Kou turned around and smiled, "I'm going to go to the Lin's house for a while, and I'll probably come back after lunch."

Zhen Fu: "!!!"
