The Opening of the Red Chamber

"Don't worry, girl, the old man will naturally take care of these things when he goes back."

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Uncle Lin, after you go back, help me find out if there are suitable Zhuangzi. I want to buy a few Zhuangzi and plant some things."

Lin Bo was a little surprised when he heard this, and said curiously: "Girl, we have six villages in Beijing, and this one is the one closest to the middle of Beijing. Although the land area is a little smaller, the harvest is good. If the girl What kind of crops do you want to grow? This village doesn’t have enough land, so you can change it to another village.”

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Lin, I won't tell you the reason. You can just go and look for it. Of course I have my uses. Don't worry, I won't spend money recklessly. Buy more Zhuangzi , It’s better to exchange silver money for land deeds than to spend it indiscriminately, don’t you think?”

Lin Bo laughed when he heard this, nodded and admitted, "That's the reason, and the girl is right." After a pause, he hesitated, "In this day and age, it's not easy to see who in Beijing wants to resell Zhuangzi. What. If you want to look for it, it may take a little longer to find a Zhuangzi with fertile land and a good location. If the girl is not in a hurry, the old man will look for it slowly?"

"Okay, just follow what Lin Bo said."

Lin Fan replied happily that she wanted to buy Zhuangzi, not just to transform Zhuangzi into the farm in her mind.More importantly, the Zhuangzi under her name is firstly used for the cultivation of various crops, and secondly, it is a shield that allows her to take out the materials stored in her small warehouse in the Gaia base with peace of mind. .Otherwise, those things that appeared out of thin air are really hard to explain. With her own Zhuangzi as a cover, even if someone is staring at her, she still has reason to fool those who catch her attention.

After reading the account book and telling Uncle Lin about his intention to buy Zhuangzi, Lin Fan repeatedly told Uncle Lin that he must find a reliable person to deliver the letter to her father, and then he set foot on the return trip with some confidence. Jia's carriage.

When the sky darkened, Lin Fan returned to Jia's mansion.

After getting out of the carriage and putting on a sedan chair, a woman standing by one side came to say that Mother Jia was still waiting for her in the yard.

Lin Fan went directly to Jiamuyuan in a sedan chair.

I got off the sedan chair in front of the hanging flower gate of Jiamu's courtyard. As soon as I entered Jiamu's courtyard, I heard laughter coming from inside. I don't know whose eyes were sharp. I saw Lin Fan coming, so I hurried in and announced. A maid came out and quickly opened the door curtain.

Stepping into Jia Mu's room, a wave of warm air with incense came over my face.

At a glance, it turns out that Sanchun sisters and Jia Baoyu's brat are both at Jiamu's place.But Sister Bao was nowhere to be seen. Presumably there was something at home, so she didn't come to play.Lin Fan wondered in his heart that in the past ten days or so, Sister Bao has been busy learning court etiquette and rules from the nuns around her, and she is very tired, which may be the reason.

Lin Fan went up to say hello, and sat next to the chair under Jiamu's right hand.Jia's mother then asked her if she had eaten, and Lin Fan said that she was going back to Yaoquanxuan to eat, but the mother-in-law on the way came in a hurry.

When Jia Mu heard this, she hurriedly ordered someone to put a table of food quickly.

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu hurriedly said, "I didn't eat much just now, so I'll eat some with my sister Lin at the ancestor's place later." Winking winks.

Seeing his funny look, Lin Fan knew that he might have some new research results.She ignored Jia Baoyu's winking, but deliberately pretended not to see it, and followed his words: "If you all come and use some together." Anyway, the nuns, maids, and sisters are all here. With so many people watching, there is no need to worry about gossip spreading.

Mother Jia smiled and nodded, saying yes, and then asked, "Girl Lin, what can I gain from going to that village today?"

"Have you harvested yet? It's already early winter, and it's desolate outside." Lin Fan held the hot tea in his hand and said, "I told the manager and the manager's wife in the village that next year we must Variety of fruits and vegetables. After all, the fruits and vegetables on my farm should be fresher when I eat them. I still like fruits and vegetables. I am waiting for the harvest next year, so I will arrange for them to be delivered. Everyone Try it out."

"Sister Lin, you were thinking about this." The brat Jia Baoyu has been shutting himself in the study for the past few days to "specialize in research", freeing up a lot of records in ancient books, and finally figured out what Lin Fan said about "fixing makeup rice points" '.Originally, I wanted to come to Lin Fan to share my achievements, but then I thought of the nuns who came from the palace beside Lin Fan, so I stayed with Jia Mu every day, thinking of waiting for Lin Fan Say it when you come to say hello.On the day of the accidental birth, Jia's mother said that Lin Fan didn't have to come to pay his respects every day, which made Jia Baoyu wait for several days in vain.Seeing Lin Fan today, I wanted to say a few words, but Jia Mu kept talking to Lin Fan, and he didn't even have a chance to interrupt.

"It's true, you have been in Beijing for so long, and you haven't adapted to the taste of the north." Jiamu said with a smile again, "I dare to go to Zhuangzi so hard today, so I was thinking about this."

"No, it's winter again, and I really want to rush to the spring of the next year."

Just as they were talking, the mothers-in-law of Jia Mu's big kitchen came with food boxes, and the maids brought the table and set the meal.That brat Jia Baoyu hurriedly took Lin Fan and the Sanchun sisters to a table for dinner.After dinner, seeing the scene, Lin Fan was afraid that he would not be allowed to go back immediately, so he sent away the maid Yunxia who was following her, and asked her to replace the four maids with the characters "Jing" and the nuns who stayed in the yard. Come to change shifts, so that the maids and mothers who followed today can have dinner.

When Jia Mu heard Lin Fan's words, she laughed and said, "Girl Lin, do the girls and women next to you change their roles every day?"

Lin Fan replied: "Well, that's how it is. I followed me for a day today, and I sent them away without eating."

"It's rare for you to have a rest day. You have to study and attend classes, women's classes, and arrange people's affairs on weekdays. I feel tired after hearing it." Jia Mu looked at Lin Fan and said, "Today It’s hard to rest, I was thinking about getting together with my sisters and brothers, but you took the car to Zhuangzi early, which made me think something was wrong, but it turned out to be a greedy one, and it turned out to be something to eat.”

"Old Ancestor, Sister Lin is back now. She is here now, and the sisters are all here, and they are all accompanying the Ancestor." The bear child really wanted to intervene all the time.

"Baoyu, don't you talk about Miss Lin all day long, now that someone is here, why don't you hurry up and talk to her." As he spoke, he pushed Jia Baoyu who was sitting beside her with a funny smile, "My old lady , I'm going to draw cards, I'll ask Yuanyang to serve you refreshments and tea, you sisters and brothers, go play in my warm pavilion."

Lin Fan quickly waved his hand and refused: "No! Grandma, I'm so tired today. I'm tired and sleepy now, I wish I could go to change clothes and rest earlier, come over to talk tomorrow." While talking, he yawned.

Seeing Lin Fan's tired face, Jia Mu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then you should go to bed early."

Lin Fan, who returned to Yaoquanxuan, naturally asked someone to fetch water quickly. After a simple wash, he climbed onto the large and comfortable Babu bed, and waited for the maid to come. , Went to the base to soak in a comfortable bath.

The wife of the mistress of a wealthy family is busy with socializing and entertaining on weekdays, helping her husband broaden his contacts.

Although Mrs. Wang is the second wife, but the old lady prefers to dote on her, so it is natural for her to come forward in matters of entertainment.The serious Mrs. Xing was put aside.

After so many years, this matter has become such a situation.

Lin Fan left Jia's mansion early this morning to go to Zhuangzi, and Mrs. Wang naturally went to the gathering between officials and wives in a carriage.

Mrs. Wang said: I am very upset recently.

During the banquet, she was always very irritable when watching the theater with the wives and wives of various families.Even the babbling voice of an actor who usually sounds pretty good is more disturbing than that of an old raven on a tree.

Just as Mrs. Wang was rubbing the rosary beads that had been hanging by her hand for many years, she heard a lady beside her in a autumn-colored satin jacket embroidered with orchids whispering softly: "Mrs. Jia, I don't see you very much these days." Going out, but getting stuck in trivial matters at home?"

Mrs. Wang raised her head, her dull face immediately stretched out, and she said with a smile: "Ning Yue, I took my son out not long ago, why haven't we seen each other for a long time?" Mrs. Wang's handkerchief is given to the woman, and the age difference is not too big.The time when they left the cabinet was also the same year. When the two were in the boudoir, they were good sisters.

"I'm joking." The woman's skin was fair and well maintained, and she was well-dressed.When they first met, their words and deeds were straightforward and intimate.But the light in her eyes was too slippery, and her eyes were too wandering.It looks fine at first glance, but after a few glances, it gives people a sense of deep scheming. "Speaking of which, I see you absent-minded and irritable, but what's on your mind?"

"Don't tell me, I really have something on my mind." Mrs. Wang didn't hide it, the person she came to look for today was this handkerchief handover Ningyue.Ning Yue's full name is Xu Ningyue, and she is married to the second son of the current Shangshu family.Because her husband can be regarded as upright, he now has a job in the Ministry of History with the same official position as Jia Zheng.Therefore, it is really not wrong to say that things are divided into groups and people are gathered together.But the uncle of Xu Ningyue's family is very capable and has real power in the court, and he is a subordinate of the current fourth prince.Mrs. Wang wants to leave the relationship, and it is indeed such a real relationship.

"What's on your mind? At this age, you still remember your sister-in-law Jia Min?"

grudge? !This is something to remember for a lifetime!When Mrs. Wang heard the words "sister-in-law Jia Min", she felt very uncomfortable!Ever since her dead sister-in-law's daughter entered Jia's mansion, many things have not developed as she expected, and even a situation that is faintly beyond her control has appeared.

Now that her own younger sister brought her family to Beijing, she had to say whatever she wanted, so she almost pointed her face in the face and said not to send it in.But my younger sister turned a deaf ear to it.The sister-in-law's daughter even helped her younger sister, which was simply annoying.Now her younger sister, Aunt Xue, has given her a large sum of money, hoping that she can help Baochai a lot before and after being selected.

RBI!Of course you have to do it!

She doesn't have the generosity to find someone to go in to make things difficult for her daughter.

Naturally, we have to take care of this road, that girl of the Xue family, it's better to die obediently!
