[Red Mansion] Chronicles of a Girl in the Lin Family

After a while, Li Wan came in with Suyun and Yindie.Seeing a guest coming, Luo Yan hastily stepped forward to take away the teacups on the table, and brought two new cups of tea.

Seeing Li Wan coming, Mo Yun said with a smile: "I am a good place today, everyone likes to run to my place!"

Li Wan sat next to Mo Yun, took a sip from the teacup with his plain hand, praised the good tea, and then said: "There is a Lin girl like you living here, but we have the best geomantic omen besides Rongxi Hall It’s just that everyone goes to the old lady’s place to look for you on weekdays, so there are fewer people here. If you don’t think it’s too lively, I’ll talk to them when I go back later, and tell them to rely on it every day. Here you are, how do you say?"

After hearing this, Mo Yun hurriedly begged for mercy, looked at Li Wan with a flattering smile and said, "Sister-in-law, don't tease me. When I go back later, I can ask Qingrui to pack some tea for you. The ones brought from Yangzhou are not much left, just ask my sister-in-law to take them there. You also know that I like to be clean most of the time, if they all come to me, I can't bear it."

Li Wan was also amused when he heard this, and said: "Since you have bribed me with tea, then I will not be polite. Don't worry, I will make your place quiet and quiet."

After finishing speaking, he continued: "Just now I saw Brother Feng passing by in a hurry, without even saying a word, but I don't know why he came today?"

Mo Yun was startled, and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter. A few days ago when I went to find Sister-in-law Feng, I fed my elder sister some pastries. No, today I asked my little girl who made desserts to leave. Sister-in-law, don't mind if there is no dessert for today's tea, if you really mind, then go to Sister-in-law Feng to settle the score!"

After hearing this, Li Wan knew that Mo Yun didn't want to talk about it just now, so he just smiled and said: "Then I really want to settle the score with Feng Geer! Didn't I come here today just for this snack? Say I know I got sucked out of the pot by her, let's see what I will do to her later!"

The two talked for a while, and then Li Wan finally expressed his intention of coming: "I came to see my sister today, but I also want my sister to help me with one thing."

Mo Yun had already made preparations when Li Wan came in. Hearing that Li Wan had something to do with her, she just sighed in her heart and said, "Sister-in-law might as well say something. If she can help, my sister will definitely help." I won't refuse."

Hearing this, Li Wan also felt a bit difficult in his heart, but thinking about Jia Lan's future, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Suwen's father, Mr. Lin, is famous and has a lot of friends in Beijing, so my sister-in-law would like to invite you My sister, do me a favor, not to mention which great Confucianist to join, I can only find a reliable teacher. Don't worry, my sister, I just ask my sister to help me set up a thread, and the rest is all up to Lan Er. It’s best if it works, if it doesn’t work, it’s only him who is to blame.”

Mo Yun was a little puzzled when she heard this, and said: "The Jia family also has its own family school, why doesn't my sister-in-law let Lan'er go there? Besides, even if the family school fails, she can ask her second uncle. There are quite a few of them, and they are talented people. Any one of them can teach Lan Geer. If not, wouldn’t it be better to ask uncle to ask him to come forward to find a teacher? My sister-in-law came to me directly, afraid that uncle would be attracted I had an idea with my aunt."

Li Wan smiled wryly after hearing this, and explained to Mo Yun in detail: "If I hadn't really run out of options, I wouldn't have given up my face to beg my sister today. I definitely can't go to the family school. My sister doesn't know, the current family school It was Jia Dairu, the concubine brother of the old man, who was in charge. Few of them were dedicated to learning. Not to mention, the atmosphere was the worst. Coupled with the fact that Xue’s cousin had left, it added to the chaos. Jean Lan If my son went to such a place, it would be better to say that he was harmed."

She paused, took another sip of tea and said, "As for the cleaners around the master, they naturally have knowledge, otherwise they would not be able to be the cleaners around the master. It's just that these people are best at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. What you love is glory and wealth, and what you love the most is full of big words. If you ask them to be Lan'er's teachers, they will definitely not be willing. As for telling the master and wife, let them help..."

Li Wan smiled wryly, but couldn't continue.

Mo Yun said: "Isn't it good to let the master and wife find someone? It also saves my sister-in-law to bother. And the person who is found must know the basics, so there is no need for sister-in-law to worry."

Li Wan shook his head and said: "It's not so easy. If I went to find the master, he would help him, but he would also think of Baoyu. My sister also knows Baoyu's temperament. If the master tries to teach him knowledge, it is necessary The wife and the old ancestors both regarded Baoyu as a pain in the eyeball. If Baoyu got a beating because of Laner, how could Laner get it? If you told your wife, she would have done it because of your big brother Zhu. For me...so I have a little misunderstanding about Lan'er. Knowing that Lan'er is looking for a teacher, compared with Baoyu, it is even more impossible to find it with my heart. Therefore, I can only ask my sister to come here, and invite my sister Help me."

Mo Yun is also in a dilemma: "It's not that I don't help my sister-in-law, it's just that my sister-in-law also knows that I am in the filial piety period, and even my father's friends in Beijing have only exchanged a few greeting cards, and I have never met anyone. If Mao Maoran came to the door to inquire, which is not a good thing for Lan'er. Not to mention that I have been in Jia's house since I came to Jingzhong, and I have never even gone out, so how can I help my sister-in-law find someone?"

After hearing this, Li Wan understood Mo Yun's embarrassment, but she still had to beg for Jia Lan's future, so she said to Mo Yun, "Sister, please help me to ask Master Lin, let me do it." Sister-in-law is begging my sister!"

Seeing that no matter what she said, Li Wan pretended not to hear, Mo Yun was also a little annoyed, she frowned and said: "It's not that I don't want to help my sister-in-law, but you also know that I am a daughter, and I am in the filial age , It’s not easy to show up in Beijing. My father is far away in Yangzhou, and he doesn’t know what’s going on in Beijing. If I don’t know, I’ll just agree. It’s okay to find a good one, but what if the person looking for it has a false name? What to do? Since it's not good for Lan'er, my sister-in-law will probably blame me. It's better to make it clear to my sister-in-law now. It's not because I have the ability not to help, but because the help is beyond my ability and I can't help. "

Li Wan heard Mo Yun talk so much, and knew that he had gone too far this time.She twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and wanted to apologize to Mo Yun, but when she thought of Lan'er who was still waiting for her in the courtyard, she cried a little: "It's because I went too far today, and I hope my sister won't give birth to me!" It's gas."

Seeing Li Wan like this, Mo Yun's heart softened a little.Li Wan's demands today were indeed too much, but they were all motherly. Looking at Li Wan, she couldn't help but think of Jia Min.

It's just that if Jia Min is in Li Wan's situation now, even for the sake of the three children, she can fight hard, and she will definitely not be like her.

However, no matter how pitiful she was, there was really no way for her to help Li Wan. In the end, she just sighed and said, "Sister-in-law is also a loving mother. How could I blame sister-in-law? It's just that I am too weak to help sister-in-law."

Li Wan wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and hurriedly said a few times: "No, no." Then he left in a hurry with the two servant girls.

Watching Li Wan leave, knowing that she could no longer see her, Mo Yun asked the little maid to close the door and sit down at the desk.

She took out the letter, but looking at the letter, she couldn't open it. She was still thinking about Wang Xifeng and Li Wan.

Both of them came for their own children, and even Wang Xifeng came with her own life.Wang Xifeng dared to fight, but Li Wan could only mourn and beg others.Although there are also reasons why the two are in different situations, it is more about the personality of the two.

She sat for a long time, thought about it, and finally called Luo Yan, and asked her to find a few more commentaries from the bookcase that Mr. Li had made for her when he enlightened her, and together with the tea leaves that he had promised to give her. Sending it to Li Wan, although it can't completely replace Xi Xi, but in the end it can be regarded as doing my part.

Not to mention how happy Li Wan and Jia Lan were when they received the book, Mo Yun here finally settled down and opened the letter from Yangzhou.

After watching halfway through, Mo Yun exclaimed in surprise: "Daddy is coming to the capital?!"
