The Opening of the Red Chamber

Lin Fan looked at Mrs. Wang at Jia Mu's place and said happily: "Yes, my brother ordered someone to send a quick letter this morning, saying that he was promoted to the control of nine provinces, and he was ordered to leave the capital to check the border. My sister , I have already brought my family to Beijing. At noon, I just received a letter from a servant who came riding a fast horse, and Lixiangyuan has also been cleaned, and I am waiting for someone to come."

Sitting on the Arhat throne, Jia Mu laughed loudly and said, "Okay, okay, okay, this is a good thing."

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Fan heard such a conversation.

Hearing the maids shouting "Miss Lin is here", Mother Jia turned her gaze away.Lin Fan went forward to say hello to the elders one by one, and then sat down on the chair he was given.Once seated, two sharp eyes like knives flew over immediately.No need to look, you know who it is.Amber brought Lin Fan hot tea, and Mother Jia beckoned Lin Fan to sit beside her.

"Cousin is not here today? Did you go to school?" Lin Fan scanned the crowd just now, and found that there was no shadow of Jia Baoyu.

"I'm endorsing books in the study. I've been working hard on books recently." When she mentioned this, the smile on Jia Mu's face became even stronger.Even Mrs. Wang's knife-like eyes just now softened a lot.

Speaking of it, this is really something that makes Lin Fan dumbfounded.

Since the last time I made the so-called psychic jade into centimeters and knocked out the monks and Taoists who came there, I don’t know if Jia Baoyu has really changed his nature or figured it out. , I actually went to the study every day to read and write properly.Yunxia, ​​who was beside Lin Fan, inquired and came back and said that since the jade stone was broken, the brat hasn't been crazy, but instead works on time every day, staying in the study and not going anywhere.

The matter of the jade was originally suppressed by Jiamu and left unsolved.In the next few days, Jia Baoyu stayed in the study obediently and read a book again. For a while, things about that psychic treasure became a taboo.In addition to those words that Lin Fan said at that time, plus the weirdness of this psychic gem.Now Jia Baoyu, a brat who doesn't like reading, actually loves reading for some reason. There are some theories about gods and ghosts, which immediately makes many people fearful in the bottom of their hearts.Everyone tacitly dared not bring up this topic again.

Lin Fan hasn't seen the brat very much recently, and it's strange that he's thinking about the brat.

However, there was still a thorn in her heart.It was the monk and the Taoist priest who took away the jade that day.Lin Fan didn't have time to think about this question at the time, he was only concerned about giving Jia Baoyu a long-acting nerve sedative, and was afraid that something would happen to him, so he lost the rice.Now the monk and the Taoist didn't show up, but Lin Fan just felt so uneasy that he should prepare a plan to deal with their reappearance.

"By the way, you haven't seen him for several days. Yesterday, Baoyu was still talking about you." Jiamu said, and seeing that Sanchun was here, she said to Lin Fan, "I'll let someone go Tell him to come over, everyone is here, come and talk to me." After saying that, he let the glass beside him go out to spread the message.

Originally, when Lin Fan came, he interrupted their conversation.At this moment, Mrs. Wang went on to say: "Old lady, my younger sister is already over fifty years old, and has the age. A few days ago, I thought about letting her live with us. We Isn't the Pear Fragrance Court on the northeast corner empty? They're here, so they can settle down."

"That's true." Mother Jia listened, and then said, "Since she's old enough to move around, let her live here with her brothers and sisters." After a pause , and asked, "Is your niece ready for the candidate?"

Mrs. Wang replied: "The preparations are complete. The primary election in late October is now in late September. Everything is ready."

"That's good." Mother Jia nodded.

Lin Fan was listening, thinking about Wang Ziteng's affairs.Today's list incident came out, Wang Ziteng sent someone early in the morning today, and the promotion was less than three days old.Hehe, why did she feel that it was weird.I always feel that there seem to be many balls of yarn that have not been sorted out, and there are too many things coiled around, which is not as festive as it seems.Also, she always felt that some pictures in her mind were intermittent, and what happened in the past ten days seemed to be not right.Today, it doesn't look like such a good day, why so many things happened together?Did you miss something important?

Lin Fan began to think carefully, and suddenly thought of what he said about Mr. Xixi with his uncle at Jiamu's place that day.

At that time, Jia's mother was very upset, and she wanted to put Jia Baoyu next to Lin Fan to study with her.That was rejected by Lin Fan on the spot, but Lin Fan thought it was strange, mainly because of his uncle Jia She's attitude.

Yes, Uncle Jia She was just watching a show with a teacup in his hand.

Lin Fan couldn't help recalling the scene of that day carefully.

The situation at that time was like this, after Lin Fan rejected Jia's mother loudly, the whole hall became cold.Lin Fan herself still had a sunny face, as if what happened just now was a fart.But in a sense, these things are really nothing to Lin Fan.After putting it out, the smell is not strong, just open the door curtain to ventilate the room.

"Mother, Mr. Zhang also said in front of his son that he will not teach others except his niece." Seeing that the atmosphere was about to freeze, the uncle Jia She said nothing in a hurry. .

When Jia Mu heard this, she seemed to have found the steps, and hurriedly said: "You are an uncle, don't worry about your nieces and nephews. Since the old Mr. Zhang is willing to meet and talk with you, why don't you?" How about talking for your nephew? After all, you are still Baoyu's eldest uncle!"

After hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but silently light a few candles for Jia She.Mother Jia really pays attention to that phoenix egg all the time, but that brat is really not suitable for an official career, the direction of this education is wrong, can he become a talent? !

"Grandmother, this really has nothing to do with uncle." Lin Fan thinks that Jia Amnesty is completely a model of being shot while lying down, but this incident was also caused by her, and it is better to come out and end it. Mr. Zhang is very strict. He just told his requirements one by one in the study. He also emphasized that if he is late every day, he will be fined to copy the book 120 times. If he fails to memorize the book within the stipulated time, It will also be punished.”

When Lin Fan said this, Jia's mother's face suddenly changed subtly. Lin Fan knew that she felt sorry for Jia Baoyu, so he continued, "Grandmother, I heard that this old man is very serious about asking female students. Relax. If my cousin goes, I’m afraid it’s more strict than what I’m asking. Uncle is also worried about this. My cousin is no better than our daughter’s family, and we don’t want to be officials. Naturally, we can relax and be lazy. If Uncle got old Mr. Zhang to agree, will the cousin be able to bear it?" Sure enough, after hearing what Lin Fan said, Jia's mother's expression became completely worried.

"Girl Lin, can you handle it?"

"Hey! Grandmother, I'm a girl!" Lin Fan smiled and said lightly, "I think Mr. Zhang should relax a bit as appropriate." After a pause, he said, "Grandma, look, Uncle is still bowing his head and admitting his mistake." Mother Jia looked at Jia Amnesty who was still standing aside with his head bowed, and gave him instructions to let him do what he should do.Jia Amnesty agreed, and after speaking a few words with Jia Mu and Lin Fan, he went out.

The follow-up of the rejection that day was like this, the expression on the uncle's face that day was very strange.

The teacher, Mr. Zhang, came, and the eldest uncle met, and they shut up in the study and talked about things in detail. Later, it was Jia Mu who asked her to talk.By the way, what exactly did Mr. Zhang say to his uncle Jia She?Hey, I have been paying attention to too many things recently, and I forgot another important main thread.

Mr. Zhang was sent here by the Seventh Prince. The purpose of this visit, huh, is interesting.

After thinking about it, Lin Fan stared at the teacup in his hand and became dazed. He was completely in the mood to listen to the conversation between Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu.

Sister Feng had seen Lin Fan in a daze for a long time, so she smiled and said, "Sister Lin, stare at the teacup in your hand, it can't even bloom a single flower!"

flower?How many flowers bloom?That's right, isn't Mr. Zhang the one who raises good flowers and grass?

Shui Junhui, you really don't want your life!Jia's Mansion is a seed that can't bloom. It's not worth investing in Jia's Mansion!

Thinking of this, Lin Fan felt bad all over.

Sister Feng's words awakened Lin Fan who was thinking about traveling far away. Suddenly, Lin Fan came back to his senses, got up and said, "Grandmother, I am very tired today. I will go back to the yard first. I will come over tomorrow morning to say hello to my grandmother." , got up and walked out towards the door.Jiamu, Mrs. Xing, Sister Feng and others saw Lin Fan leaving in a hurry, and they didn't know what was wrong, so they hurriedly sent someone to follow.

Hao Hao, who was beside Lin Fan, immediately said, "Old ladies, ladies, aunts, don't worry, the girl is really tired today." After blessing her body, Hao Hao also left quickly, following Lin Fan's The team went back to Yaoquanxuan together.

When he arrived at Yaoquanxuan, Lin Fan went straight to the study and wrote a letter to Lao Qi.

Mr. Xixi, after all, she thought it was simple, too simple.At first, he thought that the Seventh Prince wanted to use her to tie her father onto the boat, but he didn't expect that there would be Jia She, the successor of the old family.The Seventh Prince's net can be compiled delicately.However, he really didn't know that this Jia's house was already beautiful on the outside, and the inner bag was empty.With a name, there is really nothing left.It's better not to pull such a family!Although one or two can be used now, it is not the kind that is really powerful and easy to use.

At this moment, Lin Fan has figured out the deep-seated intention of the Seventh Prince to find Mr. Xixi for her.

Facing the current situation and the development trend of the situation, Lin Fan felt very anxious!

Sure enough, that sentence is confirmed, getting close to the royal family is nerve-wracking!But no matter what, let the Seventh Prince know first, and quickly put away the thought of cooperating with the Jia family.Well, we have to find a way to get Lin Bo, the old housekeeper of the Lin family, to find someone reliable to tell Uncle Mei about this.
