The Opening of the Red Chamber

The old lady is so old, although she is sometimes confused about small things, she is never confused about big things.

She has a lot of calculations in her mind!It is absolutely impossible to say that she has not paid attention to the nuns around Lin Fan.But before all, it was for the sake of his favorite grandson that he moved this matter to the back.The relationship between Lin Fan and Baoyu was lukewarm, not at all what she had expected at first. After temporarily dispelling her calculations, she also considered the matters of her granddaughters.

Ke Linfan is a copper pea that does not eat oil and salt, and has his own ideas and plans.The old lady was thinking about how to send her granddaughter to her side and learn the rules with the nuns, but she was stranded there.When Lin Fan said this today, he simply said the old lady's heart, how could she disagree.

The old lady had a long-term view. Judging from the decision to send Yuan Chun to the palace, she knew that the old lady was also playing this game of chess.

The atmosphere in the room was very harmonious, and Sister Feng took this opportunity to liven up the atmosphere, so she asked Aunt Xue what she had seen and heard all the way to Beijing.Everyone talked and laughed, very happy.

As for Mrs. Wang, after the old lady said that Lin Fan's proposal was very good, she withdrew her unkind eyes.The entire facial expression returned to the standard wooden facial paralysis mode, so Lin Fan didn't bother to pay attention to her.Anyway, as long as it doesn't interfere with her life, it's still a bit of gossip in life to lift up her spirits by occasionally fighting with Mrs. Wang.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, it was time for dinner before they knew it.

Mother Jia wanted to save a meal, and Lin Fan had already asked someone to prepare a few more tables. When Mother Jia said to save a meal, a little maid who ran errands went to her yard to spread the word.

When it was time for dinner, naturally there would be no one missing, Jia Baoyu.

The bear boy was very serious today, and Mother Jia sent someone to call for several times in the study outside before dragging the bear boy who was lying on the desk studying hard.Then again, the reason why Jia Baoyu changed so much after Lin Fan smashed the psychic jade was because the root cause was not the jade, but Lin Fan gave the bear a list of cosmetics .In more detail, it is the efficacy of various modern cosmetics.The usefulness of each and the professional pertinence of each are stated in the listed list.

Of course, Lin Fan couldn't just give this list to that brat Jia Baoyu, but made a request.Ask him to read the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics on time every day, and copy the contents to practice calligraphy.The main thing is: don't get caught by his Lao Tzu!

Xiongzi is actually very smart. With such an obvious reminder from Lin Fan, he certainly understands it.Therefore, after repeated assurances, Lin Fan took the list in his hands.After that, he was completely obsessed.Every day, I read all kinds of miscellaneous books, and turned the written records I saw into reading notes.To him, Lin Fan is simply the best bosom friend he has ever met in his long life.So sometimes it is said that if two people have the same interests and hobbies, they will naturally have endless nonsense and be full of energy.No, in the past ten days or so, I have devoted myself to researching cosmetics.

The bear child stayed in the study, reading a book, and writing seriously. This kind of abnormal behavior naturally made many people unable to refute.Then, the statement that there was something wrong with the psychic treasure jade, because Jia Mu suppressed it, the public opinion of the servants did not dare to make it clear, and they whispered it secretly many times.

When Jia Baoyu came, his face was full of joy, and he walked with wind.Maybe it was from the girl who passed on the news that Lin Fan was staying with Jia Mu for dinner today, and his recent research results are effective, so he was so excited that he wanted to share his experience with Lin Fan.Ever since, he ignored the key points of today's message.

When Mrs. Wang saw her son, she naturally pulled him to introduce Aunt Xue's family to him personally.

Looking at this scene, Lin Fan felt that the current theater scene should not be too good!This brat is still winking at her, and he doesn't worry that his 'loving' mother's eyes are about to overwhelm her.

After eating at Jiamu's place, the brat Jia Baoyu would take Lin Fan and Sanchun to his study outside, saying that he had brought new gadgets for the sisters.Mrs. Wang also opened her mouth to ask Sister Bao to go with her. Who knew that Aunt Xue and Sister Bao were not very tired after the journey, so they went to Lixiangyuan to rest first.

When Jia Mu saw that the guests had left, she asked Mrs. Wang to follow her.So I took Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng to wipe the dominoes with her.

Lin Fan and Sanchun sisters followed Jia Baoyu, a brat, to his study.Jia Baoyu couldn't wait a long time ago, not only him, but also the Sanchun sisters.

After waiting for a few people to go to the warm pavilion together with the maids, Lin Fan saw Jia Baoyu coming with the small box on the side of the kang table, and Lin Fan's heart immediately became clear: "Cousin, maybe you have made a mistake?" Has a new rouge come out?"

When Lin Fan asked, Yingchun stepped forward, covered her lips with a large sleeve embroidered with light blue vines and smiled, and said, "Sister Lin, you don't know that he has been around him for the past few days. The servants in the garden tossed all the flowers in the garden, but he stayed alone in the study and tossed a lot of things."

"Brother Bao also said that if Sister Lin didn't come, he wouldn't tell us what he did." Tanchun also said with a smile.Xichun, on the other hand, looked at the wooden box Jia Baoyu had brought without making a sound.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Jia Baoyu opened the box, "Sister Lin, you said last time that you want to make the rouge cream into different shapes, and separate the one that wipes the lips from the one that slaps the face. I flipped through the box." Many miscellaneous books have not been tossed out after all. But this time, I have tossed out other ones." As he spoke, he carefully took out those small enamel-painted bottles that were packed in the box, "I tossed the petals, but The flower dew is very fragrant when it is steamed out. It is better than the incense, just look at it."

Lin Fan took the small bottle he handed over, opened the cap, and suddenly a light fragrance lingered.

In an instant, the villain in Lin Fan's heart knelt down: Master Jia, I don't have any kneecaps to give you anymore!

essential oils!

This bear child has already poured out the embryonic form of the essential oil, simply!

Lin Fan suddenly felt that even the title of Master Jia could not express her outpouring of admiration for the brat.This is simply self-taught. When she was still thinking about essential oils, the finished product was already produced here.

"Cousin, what is this base oil?"

"Oh, that was the last time I made rouge cream, and I collected it when I steamed it with rose petals. The petals used this time are very fragrant and have similar oils. I thought of a mixed type of sweetness, so I mixed the two together. It turned out surprisingly fragrant." As soon as he talked about his hobbies, the bear boy became very excited, "I made four bottles, sister Lin, you have one bottle, sister Yingchun, sister Tanchun, and sister Xichun are also one bottle per person. bottle."

"Can you write me the production process and the tools needed?"

"Here." Upon hearing Lin Fan's question, Jia Baoyu immediately took out a piece of paper that had been folded in advance from his sleeve and handed it over.

Lin Fan took the paper and rolled his eyes with a smile.After thanking him, I reminded him again: "Cousin, don't bother with this all the time recently. If uncle finds out that I gave you the list and asks you to help me with this, then maybe I will Followed by scolding."

"My dear sister, I will never say that you asked me to do it." The bear child said seriously with an aggrieved face, and almost took a knife to cut the flesh and let the blood out to swear.

Of course Lin Fan believed what he said, but she still hoped that this brat Jia Baoyu would enjoy reading and not be so rebellious.Although this ancient scientific examination is like the college entrance examination of later generations, no matter how much you don't like it, you need this stepping stone to find a job.Now tell this brat the truth, maybe he can’t understand it, but as a guide, Lin Fan believes that he has seen so much, he can try: "Of course I believe you, cousin, you won’t say it. I’m worried that uncle will let you If you study, you don’t have time to mess around with all this.” After a pause, Lin Fan continued, seeing the anxious look on the bear’s face, “I’m also being watched by my husband to study now, as long as I pass the daily assessment, In the afternoon, I can do what I like. If I can’t pass my homework with my husband, I won’t have time to do it in the afternoon. Cousin, let’s do what the adults ordered before we have time to do what we like. Yes, don’t you think so?!”

"Sister Lin, don't you like reading too?" Bear boy, you really pay attention to the key points!

"Probably." Lin Fan didn't deny that she really didn't have much interest in ancient prose, "I don't like it very much, but if I don't learn from my husband, I won't have time to do what I like. If I After finishing school, my husband is very happy. Cousin, you may not know that Mr. Xixi likes to grow flowers and plants. I will take advantage of his happy time and ask him about flowers and plants, and he will tell me everything. He learned a lot about flowers and plants. So, I read the book well every day, and he would tell me a lot about how to grow flowers and plants.”

This brat Jia Baoyu is actually very smart, and he has his own opinions. If he wants to do things he doesn't like, there must be a correct way to guide him.It is said that hobbies are the best teachers. No, when Lin Fan mentioned that his husband planted flowers and grass, the eyes of this brat lit up.

"Cousin, in fact, I still have a lot to say about how to make the color of rouge cream. I'm just afraid that if uncle finds out, it will be terrible." Lin Fan stimulated Jia Baoyu, and said, "Your morning Read the book well, pass the test thoroughly, and you will have time to spend in the afternoon, right? Even if uncle finds out and you have read the book well, he can't do anything to you."

The bear child had an epiphany expression on his face, and then nodded very seriously: "Well, sister Lin, what you said makes sense."

Lin Fan coaxed him here, and the Sanchun sisters responded again and again: "Sister Lin/Sister has a way. No matter who in the family says it, it is not as good as what you said today. We are all moved by what you said. Baoyu, read it." Books, then is the time to help our sisters pour out these rouge creams."

After talking and laughing with Sanchun and the bear boy Jia Baoyu for a while, Lin Fan told them in detail what he had heard from Mr. Zhang, his teacher, about planting flowers and raising grass, and drank several cups of tea together.It was late at that time, and Lin Fan saw that it was getting late, so he made an appointment with Sanchun for the women's class tomorrow afternoon, went to Jiamu's room to say hello, and then took the maids and mothers back to the yard up.

Once back at Yaoquanxuan, Lin Fan changed his clothes and asked the maids to bring hot water for washing. While changing clothes, Lu Nanny and Hao Nanny discussed about tomorrow's women's class.The two nuns had no other views on this, and of course, they also told Lin Fanjia's little thoughts.Lin Fan listened one by one, but did not answer.

"Two nuns, what do you think of Elder Sister Bao? Do you think she might be chosen?" Lin Fan couldn't help but ask the topic that he cared about the most in his heart.Sister Libao was not selected in the original book, but now that her bug is here, will things change?

Nanny Lu was cleaning up the account books on the side, and Nanny Hao was arranging the jewelry box for Lin Fan, so she took the conversation and said, "If it's just about character and behavior, there's absolutely nothing wrong with Miss Bao. In terms of background, it’s a little bit worse. If you put it all together, the possibility of being selected is very high.”

Lin Fan listened, and somehow thought of Xue Pan's matter, so he couldn't help but started to gossip, told the two nuns about Xue Pan's matter tactfully, and analyzed Mrs. Wang's eyes today. I talked a lot.After saying this, the two nuns stopped their work in an instant.

Mother Hao said: "Miss, if you say so, it will be difficult for Miss Bao to be selected."

But Nanny Lu said: "It's not a child's play to have a life lawsuit behind it. If it has a big relationship, it can be suppressed. I'm afraid that girl, your second aunt will have other thoughts, or it will depend on this little girl. luck."

On the other side, Yun Xia, who likes to listen to gossip the most, immediately asked: "Miss, why does this servant think that you care about this precious girl so much!"

"Well, of course I am concerned. My second aunt's eyes and actions today clearly do not want her to be selected." Lin Fan said, "So I am curious, what my second aunt will do next." After a pause, he suddenly said, "Since you sent a letter to the palace two days ago, you haven't received any letters for me?"

"no!"

When Lin Fan heard this, his heart was a little suspended.She wrote to Lao Qi, telling him not to pay too much attention to Jia's letters. She didn't know what the prince who was busy competing for the throne thought. Anyway, she was going to find Steward Lin in just a few days.The letter she wanted to write to her beautiful uncle had to be delivered by the Lin family.
