Red Mansion points are hard to earn

Chapter 2 Luoyang Xie Family

Lin Hanchuan was in a daze when he heard the cry of the baby.

She took some effort to open her eyelids, rolled her eyes, and before she had time to see whose child was crying at her house, she saw a little beauty in ancient costume dressed as a maid rushing towards her:

"Ma'am, you finally woke up, woo woo woo."

"What's the matter?" Lin Hanchuan wondered, did his son hire a nurse for him?Even nurse outfits are colorful now?No, maybe the son brought his girlfriend back, but did he call him Mrs.?Shouting uncle also becomes Ah.

"Ma'am, you have been in a coma for four days, and the doctor said that if you don't wake up, you will..." The little beauty cried again, and I felt sorry for her.

"Ma'am, look how cute big brother is, I won't cry when you wake up." Another maid came over with a baby in her arms.

At this time, a young man dressed as a scholar led an old man with white beard and hair over.

"Dr. Lao Li is here."

The little beauty hurriedly helped Lin Hanchuan's arm out and covered it with a layer of silk handkerchief.

"Madam hurt her body during childbirth a few days ago, I'm afraid that in the future..." Dr. Li shook his head, stroked his beard, and followed the young man to the outer courtyard to prescribe medicine.

"Lan Zhi, take the young master and go to the side room." The little beauty sent away the maid who was holding the baby, and looked at Lin Hanchuan wanting to cry.

Lin Hanchuan was puzzled, looking at the expressions of these people did not look like acting.I felt that I was holding something in my left hand, and I took it out to see, it was a small mirror, and put it in front of me to take a picture.

The person in the mirror is pale, gentle and graceful, just like an ancient maid walking out of the painting.This is definitely not me, Lin Hanchuan felt turbulent in his heart, that was not a scam call, that small advertisement was actually real!

Lin Hanchuan had a difficult life and had seen a lot, but he had never encountered such unimaginable things.However, he had experienced strong winds and waves at any rate, and he calmed down in a moment.If you come, you will be safe. This should be the world of Red Mansions mentioned in the scam phone call. First of all, you have to figure out your current identity.

"Sister Chunzhi, the porridge is ready." A little maid came in with a tray.

"Madam is feeling better, how about some porridge first?"

After her reminder, Lin Hanchuan also felt that he was hungry, so he nodded.The little beauty blew on the spoon to feed herself.

After drinking half a bowl of porridge, Lin Hanchuan waved his hand.The little beauty understood, and told the little maid to pack up and leave.

"I've been asleep for the past few days, what's the matter?" A beautiful woman's eyes turned red when she heard this, she bit her lips and said nothing.

Lin Hanchuan sighed:

"Since I'm awake, I must know, but what's wrong?"

"A few days ago, our mansion sent people to say that the master is not in good health. Yesterday, someone said again... It is said that the elder girl and the second master Lian took care of the funeral."

"Big girl?" Second Master Lian?

"Madam, don't be angry. It's all because Madam is too cruel. After Madam passed away, she ordered her servants to call her daughter the eldest girl. No wonder she got her retribution early."

"Then there is no one left at home now?"

"Madam, if you're energetic, I'll call Lin Er and Lin Er's family who reported the letter." Seeing Lin Hanchuan nodded, he went out.In a short time, a middle-aged couple in their 40s was brought in.

"I've seen Miss Joan, is she feeling better?"

"It's much better. Have the things at home been settled?"

"Return to the girl. The second master Lian from the Rongguo Mansion brought someone to help with the cooking, and the master's funeral was handled very well." After thinking for a while, Lin Hanchuan realized that he should be the eldest daughter of Lin Ruhai in Dream of the Red Chamber, but not Jia Min. biological.It's strange, when I was bored before, I had turned it over a little bit, I only remembered that Lin Daiyu was the only daughter, when did I have a concubine sister like myself?

Lin Er's family gave Lin Er a push, stepped forward and said:

"Miss Qiong, our house was originally an official house, but it was taken back. When the master was seriously ill, he sold all the Zhuangzi in the mansion and turned them into silver. When he left, he gave all the deeds of sale to the servants in the family. , and also gave severance money of various sizes. Because the master injured himself and had no children, he divided the family property into two shares, the eldest girl and Miss Qiong each had 120 million taels. The remaining books, calligraphy, paintings and cultural relics were all given to the eldest girl. This is the master's autographed letter and bank note."

Lin Hanchuan read the letter carefully, and it was true that people would mourn when they were about to die.In the letter, Lin Ruhai said that he didn't have much time, and after he left, he hoped that the two sisters would support each other, and he also talked about the distribution of family property after his death.In the end, Daolin and his wife were faithful and reliable. They were people close to the old lady and let the eldest daughter stay at her mercy.I thought it was a sick body, but I only said a few words, but I also saw the deep affection of flesh and blood.

After Lin Hanchuan read the letter, he saw that Lin Erjia seemed to have something to say.

"Does father have any other orders?" Seeing so much money, it is not wrong to call father.

"If you go back to the girl, the master will order us to serve Miss Qiong wholeheartedly in the future."

"understood."

After Lin Er and his wife resigned, Lin Hanchuan was still a little puzzled.A thick stack of bank notes, 120 million taels, Lin Er and his wife are so loyal?Is the little beauty next to me from □□zhi?

"Chunzhi, why did father divide the money equally?"

"The master really loves the girl, but it's not as good as the elder girl who was frail and intelligent since she was a child." He said and peeked at Lin Hanchuan's face.

"The eldest girl is a descendant, shouldn't there be more points?" Lin Hanchuan said directly.

"Originally, the master's family property was intended to give a large portion of the Lin family's clan, but when the wife was alive, she seldom interacted with the clan, and her mother's family was the Rongguo Mansion, and no one dared to complain if it was all given to the eldest girl. If you think about it, the master knows it. In addition to the things that can be converted into silver, the books, calligraphy, paintings and antiques are also big in the mansion. It is estimated that there is one or two hundred taels, all of which can be bought by a big girl. I heard from Lin Er’s family yesterday that the 200 taels of madam was secretly entrusted to them by the master. , I'm afraid that the eldest girl and the Rongguo Mansion don't know about it."

"The Lin Er couple are loyal. Such a large sum of money is enough for them to spend a few lifetimes?"

"When the master was seriously ill, he asked someone to send the couple's deed of sale to the girl. There is also a letter written by the master. How dare they have such thoughts."

Seeing the previous scholar come in again, the master and servant covered the topic and did not talk about it.

"Doctor Li has written the prescription, and I have ordered someone to make the medicine. Madam can just rest and recuperate. You can rest assured that the eldest brother has a younger sister to take care of him." Then he turned and left.

Lin Hanchuan settled down when he came, taking stock of his property while taking care of himself.Chunzhi and Lanzhi are dowry maids brought from Lin's mansion, they were pointed out by Mrs. Lin to serve her before, and now there are Lin Er and his wife by her side, these are all available people.In terms of money, in addition to the 120 million taels of silver notes given by Lin Ruhai, there is also the dowry brought earlier.

In just two or three months, he recovered his body. Although Lin Hanchuan was a little unhappy about becoming a woman, but fortunately, he was very strong. Coupled with diet and exercise, he got better without taking too much medicine.During this period, Lin Hanchuan also inquired about the situation in the mansion.

This is Xie's family in Luoyang, and this body is Xie's parents-in-law.The old man of the Xie family died of illness a few years ago, leaving behind Mrs. Xie, two sons and a daughter.Lin Hanchuan once had doubts. Since Lin Qiong was the eldest daughter of the Lin family concubine, she was not worthy of being the eldest son of the Xie family.

"Ma'am, why did you forget? Our uncle had a bad reputation at the beginning. When he was fourteen or fifteen years old, he went to his aunt's house for New Year's wine. Somehow, he had some affairs with his cousin and made a child. The old lady took pity on the cousin girl. So she carried it in and gave it to the uncle as a concubine. From now on, I just want to find a low-status daughter-in-law to come in."

"Why do you want to be a concubine? Wouldn't it be over if you just marry the cousin girl?"

"The cousin girl's family background is too low, she is just the daughter of a small merchant. The old man was still alive at the time, so naturally he disagreed. Later, the old lady couldn't be persuaded, so she finally brought her into the house and became a concubine. It's just that this matter got out somehow, uncle's Marriage is a little more difficult."

"The old lady is so confused, which is more important, the son or the cousin?"

"What's the matter with Madam recently? The old lady is just a step-wife, and the uncle and eldest girl in the house are left by the old man's wife."

"Then the eldest girl has someone else?" Lin Hanchuan casually changed the subject.

"The eldest girl promised a family in Beijing earlier, and she was going to get married a few years ago. Unfortunately, the old man passed away and had to keep his filial piety at home. It just so happens that the old man is going to participate in the Spring Festival next year, and he will be sent to marry a younger sister. We will set off after the next year, madam. Must follow."
