The Opening of the Red Chamber

Chapter 017

In Rongguo Mansion.

"Old lady, master, madam, Second Mistress, the King of Shunyi County is here, the King of Shunyi County is here, and he is right outside the door!"

"Old lady, old lady, Prince Shunyi has brought Miss Lin here, right outside the door!"

"Second Mistress, Miss Lin is here, she was sent by the Prince of Shunyi personally."

The low and high shouts of the messengers resounded in the courtyard of Rongguo Mansion one after another.The commotion caused the masters in the mansion to change their clothes in a panic from top to bottom, in a hurry to welcome the distinguished guests outside the door.In the panic, Jia She, who lived in the East Courtyard, was the most 'calm'. At this moment, he was still lying on the bed leisurely.When the morning is the softest time, Jia Amnesty and his concubine were still in the lingering outfits, but when he suddenly heard Xiao Si shouting outside the window, he withered immediately.

The unsatisfactory Jia Amnesty immediately became furious: "What Shunyi County King, didn't you see the Eldest Master, I am sleeping?"

Xiao Si outside the door was choked by the rage, "My lord, the king of Shunyi County, is the seventh prince of the Holy Majesty." Then he hurriedly reminded the incomprehensible master, "The seventh prince brought Miss Lin here. , the old lady, the second master, and the second wife all changed their clothes and went to the main entrance to greet them."

Prince? !

The prince brought Miss Lin here? !

These words were like thunder, and Jia She, who was obsessed with female sex and absurd, was shocked instantly, and quickly pushed the concubine beside him out of the bed. The whole person seemed to be injected with chicken blood in an instant, jumping up and shouting Someone came in to change his clothes.

In the ear room on the east side of the Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang was feeling very upset at the moment. Jin Chuan was busy changing Mrs. Wang's clothes. When she saw Zhou Rui's family come in, she sent Jin Chuan out.Quickly asked: "What's going on here? Didn't you say that Lin girl is alone? Why is Shunyi County King also here?"

Zhou Rui's family glanced around, straightened their clothes, and whispered in Mrs. Wang's ear, "The Prince of Shunyi brought the girl from the Lin family. There are many people outside. I haven't found out what's going on for a while."

Mrs. Wang frowned when she heard this, she didn't say anything, she just rushed out with the hand handed by Zhou Rui's family.

Outside Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Fan sat in the carriage, looked at the open door, and laughed again.She has read a book called "Qing Dynasty Etiquette Culture Under the Mirror Mirror of A Dream of Red Mansions". In the book, it is written: not everyone is qualified to enter and leave the gate of the Duke's Mansion. It all depends on the identity of the guest.In the original book, when Lin Daiyu arrived at Jia's mansion, she didn't go through the main entrance, but entered through the west corner gate.According to that statement, Lin Daiyu is a junior and a female relative, so she is not qualified to go the right way.According to the "Book of Rites" and "Rituals", when visiting, the host enters from the right and the guests enter from the left.Later, it was revised by the imperial court, to the effect that those with equivalent official positions enter through the middle gate, and subordinate officials enter through the left gate. [The Qing Dynasty Ritual Culture under the Mirror of the Dream of Red Mansions by Xia Guixia China Economic Publishing House P008 Paragraph [-]] Now, the Seventh Prince who is a pilgrimage is bringing Lin Fan here, so the door must be opened.

If Lin Fan wanted to come or leave, she had to do everything she could to enter through the main entrance.

No, come with the Seventh Prince, even if the Seventh Prince is just pretending to show his face outside the door, the door of the Jia Mansion must be opened.At this time, Lin Fan really missed the words that Grandpa Deng said, no matter if it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.Isn't she in this situation now, no matter what the process is, she is determined to go through this door!

In her words: Sister will not leave the front door if she is right or wrong!

"Qi Ye, your name is really useful." Lin Fan praised generously, "Look, they have all been tossed out."

Just as Lin Fan was speaking, Jia Zheng brought Mrs. Wang out behind Mrs. Shi and stood at the door.Lin Fan easily recognized Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng.Jia Mu is old and has silver hair, which can be seen at a glance among those few people.As for Mrs. Wang, she has a wooden face, and she is more than 50 years old. Even though it is well maintained, the years have left marks on her face.This is no discernible pressure for Lin Fan.Not to mention Wang Xifeng, her shiny body and the ornaments on her head, neck, wrists have already revealed her identity.But here, there is no Jia Amnesty.It seems that everyone has forgotten about him and his wife, even the Seventh Prince did not mention it.

But when Lin Fan looked these people up and down, he discovered a big thing.

As she expected, everyone in Jia's mansion, starting with Jia's mother, seemed to have forgotten that Jia Min, an aunt, died and had to go into mourning. They all dressed so ostentatiously, which made Lin Fan feel at that moment, what a shame. There are too many points and I don't know where to start.

Lin Fan looked at the situation outside through the tulle on the window of the carriage, and said, "Qiye, they are all here, can I go down now?" While speaking, he was about to get up and get ready.

The Seventh Prince reached out and grabbed Lin Fan's wrist, and said with a smile, "No hurry, I'll go down with you." After speaking, the Seventh Prince got up first and got out of the carriage.When he got off the carriage, the masters guarding the entrance of Rongguo Mansion were about to come forward to say hello, the Seventh Prince waved his hand, and then gave another guard beside him a wink.

In an instant, the entire team of servant girl Xiaosi who followed the carriage shouted: "Rongguo Mansion is here, please get off the carriage, Miss Lin." As well as those dog-legged servants who looked down on people, they were shocked by the battle on the spot.

Lin Fan in the carriage was also stunned, but he immediately came back to his senses and sighed in his heart: This pretentious rush is so cool!

The Seventh Prince had already lifted the curtain of the car and stretched out his hand towards her.Lin Fan knew the Seventh Prince's intention immediately, and immediately took the hand offered, and then stepped on the stool and got out of the carriage.

At this time, Jia Zheng walked over first, and brought his family members to meet the Seventh Prince with state ceremonies.

What is a national gift?When watching Dream of the Red Chamber before, Lin Fan didn't pay much attention.But since he traveled to the world of Dream of Red Mansions and was taught by the court nuns around him day and night, Lin Fan finally opened his eyes today.

To meet each other as a national ceremony, the minimum is to "kneel once and kowtow three times", and call my king a thousand years old.If you see the emperor in the palace, you will "kneel three times and knock nine times" and say "long live the emperor".

Lin Fan had never experienced the dignity and lowliness of this kind of feudal society. Such a scene also made her heart full of emotions in an instant, and it was more of a kind of shock brought to her by trampling on people.She had never experienced such a scene, and she was a little absent-minded for a while.She also thought that she and the Seventh Prince had always been joking with each other on weekdays, and suddenly seeing him like this really gave her the illusion of 'Is this still the little fresh meat I know'.

The Seventh Prince received the gift from Jia Zheng and his family, and said a few words to Jia Zheng. Then he took Lin Fan's hand, led her to Jia Zheng, and said, "Jia Zheng My lord, Master Lin once entrusted his little daughter to Xiao Wang to take care of him, and asked Xiao Wang to send his little daughter to your mansion. Now that she has been sent, Xiao Wang still has important things to do, so he won't go in." Gently patted Lin Fan on the shoulder, then bent down and whispered softly in her ear, "Lin girl, go, this is your second uncle."

Lin Fan immediately understood, stepped forward to salute, and said, "I've seen Second Uncle."

The dignified and dignified words and deeds immediately made Jia Zheng stunned.

At this time, Mother Jia came over with the support of Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, and was about to speak when the Seventh Prince snatched her first: "Mrs. There's a errand."

While chatting and laughing, he waved to the team behind the carriage that had been standing all the time, and then, the six nuns who had been following Lin Fan came over.The Seventh Prince said to them: "The sage and I entrust Miss Lin to your care, do you understand?" The attitude that had been talking and laughing just now suddenly became cold and serious. .

The six nuns immediately responded in unison: "My lord, don't worry, the servants will take good care of Miss Lin."

Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng who were on the side didn't even have a chance to intervene, so they could only watch helplessly.

After hearing the answers of the six nuns, the Seventh Prince put away the aura of the superior, touched the top of Lin Fan's head with a smile, and said softly: "Girl Lin, I have something to do and I'll go back first." .I told the two nuns to teach everything. Xiaosi’s maids and women are all ready. You have brought your luggage and your usual items. If you are not used to living here, you want to go back to my place. Just ask someone to let you know, and I'll send someone to pick you up." After finishing speaking, he nodded slightly to Jia Zheng, and left everyone behind, stepped into the carriage and left.

In front of so many people, the seventh prince directly called himself "I" to Lin Fan, and also called Lin Fan "Lin girl".This amount of information is very large, Jiamu and others are all thinking about it.

After watching the seventh prince's carriage leave, Lin Fan turned around and saluted Jia's mother, calling, "Grandmother."

Mrs. Jia had been intimidated by the battle outside the gate for a long time, she finally came back to her senses, looked at the granddaughter in front of her, hugged her in her arms quickly, and shouted, "My son, my heart" stand up.Lin Fan was held in her arms, but the villain in his heart raised his middle finger: Meow, he was buried, he was about to be strangled to death!

At this time, Nanny Liu stepped forward and said calmly, "Old lady Jia, would you please bring the girl into the room to talk?"

Mother Jia came to her senses and quickly said, "Very, very. Yu'er, let's go to the courtyard and have a chat with my grandmother." As she spoke, she was about to pull Lin Fan into the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Being dragged by Jia Mu to step up the steps, Lin Fan smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the plaque on the gate that read "Designation of Rongguo Mansion".Stepping over the threshold of the main entrance, the moment Lin Fan walked over, he hummed in his heart: "Go to the fucking west corner gate, my mother, if I want to go, I will go to the main entrance!"

At this moment, there are already sedan chairs and rough envoys waiting inside the door.

Just as Jiamu was pulling Lin Fan into the sedan chair, she saw two people rushing towards him from the east.One of the men came hurriedly and stared at Jia Mu and Lin Fan, "Madam, why are you back? Where is the prince?"

Jia Mu looked at the person in front of her and said coldly: "Return the prince, everyone has left." After finishing speaking, she pulled Lin Fan into the sedan chair and ignored the person.

But at this moment, Lin Fan naturally knew the truth in his heart. The person just now was probably his uncle Jia Amnesty.

The sedan chair traveled all the way, and when it landed, someone came forward and opened the curtain.

Lin Fan followed Jiamu out of the sedan chair, and saw that the sedan chair had stopped in front of a hanging flower gate.Looking up at the Chuihuamen carefully, I couldn't help but think of the situation in the original book when sister Lin entered Jia's mansion.Compared with the original book, the current situation is simply indescribable.

"Yu'er, this is my grandmother's yard." The old lady beside her held her hand and said lovingly.

Lin Fan nodded without saying anything.

At this time, Wang Xifeng came from behind and said to Jiamu: "Old ancestor, look, the people brought by sister Lin..." She gave Jiamu a wink as she spoke.

Mother Jia followed her gaze, and only then noticed the six nuns and eight maidservants following in the procession.
