The Opening of the Red Chamber

It may be that the recent fleeting years are really not good for the Jia family.

One afternoon, she was only half asleep when she heard Yunxia, ​​who had gone to help, hurried back to report the first-hand news from the front line: "Girl, you don't know that the second master and the elder master had a quarrel at the gate of the small courtyard." gone."

Lin Fan sat on the bed and was not ready to get up. Today, everyone in the yard went to help except Xueyan, Jingyu and Gao Nanny.When Yunxia came back and brought such explosive news, it made Lin Fan's drowsiness disappear.Gossip is everyone's talent, and Lin Fan is no exception. He hurriedly asked, "Why are they arguing again?"

Yunxia ran back, a little thirsty, Xueyan quickly handed her a glass of water.After she picked it up, she drank it in one gulp, and said calmly, "The second master said that the elder master listened to the gossip outside, which made the whole good house uneasy. The second master will put it in Rongxi In the main room, the red sandalwood inlaid with yellow pear wood, carved with curly grass and crooked patterns, and the throne inlaid with opals on the armrest were moved away. The elder refused to let it go, saying that it belonged to the elder. So the elder quarreled with the second elder. Get up, no one can control you now."

Hearing what Yunxia said, Lin Fan suddenly had the impression that when he entered the Rongguo Mansion, he saw such a throne that could be called a work of art in the main room of the Rongxi Hall.She thought for a while: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. Didn't the twelve servants from the first generation go to help? Yunxia, ​​go and help me spread the word that no matter what method you use, you must keep the throne safe and secure." Stay where you are. Seventh Master said when he gave them to me, they all know how to use fists and kicks." After a pause, Lin Fan suddenly said with a smirk, "Second uncle and second aunt are too dissatisfied, Uncle is already merciful, since they are shameless. Yunxia, ​​tell Congxin to lead the boys, and anyone who robs uncle's property, no matter who it is, will be beaten to death , I will pay for the soup and medicine.”

"Ah! Miss, this..." Yun Xia was completely stunned after hearing Lin Fan's words.

Even Gao Nunnies and Jing Yu Bing Xueyan on one side stared at Lin Fan with gaping mouths, thinking that their girl had fallen asleep.

"Why are you still looking at me? Go!" Lin Fan waved at Yunxia who was standing there in a daze, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you to tell me about today's specific things tonight!" , ready to get up from the bed.

Now she was going to the study, and began to dig out the things that were kept in her heart one by one, thought about the time, and started to act.The names are all here, the first step of the plan has already started, and the rest is what she works hard to do.

After washing and changing, Lin Fan went to the study alone, and asked Xue Yan to guard the door of the study so that no one would disturb him.

During the recent period, Lin Fan's mind was not at all on the dilapidated and trivial matters of Jia's mansion.She has been secretly paying attention to the situation of the shops and streets in the capital. After Jia Min's dowry and dowry list were taken care of by her, she has already discovered that it is the busiest commercial street in the south of the capital, which is similar to later generations. , Jia Min has three shops, and these three shops are still connected together.This location is very good for Jane, she turned it into a rouge shop, and handed over the pre-decoration work to Uncle Lin.

Now that she has found out Jia Min's dowry list again, she will start to carefully plan those that can be managed in Jia Min's dowry.In addition, she also wants to buy a shop on this street, after all, the location is so good.

In addition, during this period of time, she would go to the Gaia base every day before going to bed to pour out handmade cosmetics.After Jia Baoyu's brat gave the essential oil handmade plan last time, and now she has Rhea's help, her secret tossing is also going very smoothly.

It may be that Rhea was also flustered during this period of time. When Lin Fan started his beauty business, it was more interested than Lin Fan, and even suggested that Lin Fan dilute the fresh water on the Gaia planet. Add it to Lin Fan's moisturizer, and instantly create an anti-aging skin care product.In this way, Lin Fan's brain hole was deeply stimulated again, and the idea of ​​"I want to open a health-preserving pill shop" came out.Therefore, it is also necessary to buy a shop.

Because of this, Lin Fan is very busy every night before going to bed, busy looking at the various materials of handmade skin care products and cosmetics that Ruiya found for her, and also making pictures of the decorations of the store counters that I remembered in my mind. Come down, and write down the marketing models you can think of by the way.Every night, Lin Fan digs in her own memory, and with the help of Rhea, she tries to perfect her plan as much as possible. After busying herself out of the Gaia base, she falls into bed and goes to sleep.

Now that Uncle Mei's letter has come and her name has come, it's time to do these things.

Lin Fan spent the entire afternoon in the study.

As for the quarrel between the two brothers, Jia She and Jia Zheng, because of Lin Fan's words that hurt someone, and the medical expenses were counted on her words, the servants who followed the second room were even more ruthless.Therefore, the throne remained firmly in the main house and main courtyard.

Lin Fan decided not to go to the front line to watch. She was busy thinking of a suitable excuse now, how to persuade old man Lin to help her buy Zhuangzi without her father knowing.I have been here in the red building for so long, and the only person I can recognize more reliably is the seventh prince, Shui Junhe. After much deliberation, I can only ask him to do a favor.

After Lin Fan sat at the desk and meditated for a long time, he decided to go see Lao Qi after he had been quiet for a few days.

In the afternoon, Lin Fan learned that the quarrel between Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng had reached Jia Mu.This time, Mother Jia, who has always loved the second child, stood by the eldest brother for a rare occasion, and warned the second child not to allow many things, and to move the house as soon as possible.In this way, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were full of grievances and unwillingness, and finally they were completely suppressed by the old lady's words.

The manpower brought by Lin Fan was very capable, and he moved and arranged the things belonging to his uncle Jia She in one day.The rest of the details just need to be adjusted slowly in the days to come.

When everyone returned to Yaoquanxuan at night, Lin Fan started today's symposium on trivial family gossip with Yunxia as the speaker.

Lin Fan laughed out loud at all the things, and what was unexpected was that Mrs. Wang actually had many private houses.When I was moving, I didn't know who got the box on purpose, and dropped the small box in the middle of the box, and the banknotes were scattered all over the floor.This time it was terrible, Jia Amnesty pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and Jia Zheng quarreled with Mrs. Wang again. In short, the picture was so beautiful that I really didn't dare to look at it directly.

He also said that Sister Feng and Jia Lian, on the day they moved, went to Jia's mother's yard to accompany them to sort out the accounts.Sister Feng even ignored Mrs. Wang's request for help, and for the first time even brought up a reason for accompanying the old lady to read the account books, obviously because she didn't want to get involved in this matter.

In the morning, after Lin Fan had breakfast from Mother Jia and left, the old lady began to look at the account book.Because Sister Feng borrowed several capable nuns by Lin Fan's side, Sister Feng did not hide many omissions in the account book, and she could clearly tell where the money was spent on every wrong record.

This is a good move, Mrs. Wang has done a lot of tricks on the account book, and even embezzled a lot of money.This time, Mother Jia was very angry, and said directly: Let her go to the Buddhist hall and stay there. When my anger subsides, she will come out.

Then, Sister Feng's spring came.

After the turmoil between the first room and the second room, the old lady still asked her to take care of the accounts, but at the end of every month, the old lady had to look at the accounts in person.

Sister Feng was very happy when she got the news, and finally she didn't have to fill in her dowry, which was better than anything else.Even better, it seems that no one knows about the fact that she secretly puts money and silver in private.Mrs. Wang couldn't come out after going to the Buddhist hall, so the money and silver belonged to her alone.Thinking of making another fortune in her small private treasury, Sister Feng was very happy in her heart.

After listening to today's gossip, Lin Fandun felt happy.It was refreshing to wash and sleep.

The weather in the winter months is getting colder every day.The snow fell from time to time, so Lin Fan nestled in his room, not wanting to go anywhere.But nestling in the yard, the news outside is very clear.After Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang moved to the East Courtyard where Jia She used to live, there were constant quarrels every day.In addition, Jia Zheng's aunts, even seeing Mrs. Wang without looking up or down, are extremely difficult to live in these days.

Mrs. Wang felt very uncomfortable in her heart, so she went to Aunt Xue of Lixiangyuan to complain.

Strange to say, with such a big movement in Jia's mansion, Aunt Xue, a guest living here, should find an excuse to move out according to common sense, but Aunt Xue just turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window, and only watched the excitement.The whole family was extremely quiet.

When Mother Jia ordered the move, the family moved very quickly.Now Mrs. Wang is uncomfortable no matter how she looks at it. The only comforting thing is that her Baoyu is still living with Jia Mu and has received the best care.What worried Mrs. Wang even more was that Mother Jia only ordered to move, but she didn't mention anything about her relationship with Xu Ningyue.Mother Jia seemed to have forgotten about the incident involving the relationship between the subordinates of Prince Zhongyi and Lao Qiansui.Such an attitude made Mrs. Wang even more terrified, and she was deeply afraid that Mother Jia would count on her.

The fifth day of the winter month.

Seeing that the move has been troublesome for three days, everything that should be tossed has been tossed.Mrs. Wang found some time after her lunch break and went to Lixiangyuan to complain.At that time, Baochai was not in Lixiangyuan, but in Linfan's Yaoquanxuan, studying women's lessons with the Sanchun sisters.Even though he lost the election, it is impossible for a girl who grew up in this feudal society to discard Lin Fan's excellent resources.Therefore, on weekdays, sisters Sanchun and Baochai come to class on time.

When Mrs. Wang was still so picky, she found such a time to go to Aunt Xue's place to complain.

But she never imagined that her younger sister, who had never talked to her, would become a different person in such a short period of time.No matter how much she begged, Aunt Xue always tactfully and ingeniously avoided the past.Mrs. Wang even used her trump card, saying that she wanted to help Baochai find a good marriage among the high-ranking wives she knew.

It's okay if you don't mention this, but when you mention it, a crack of expression appears on Aunt Xue's smiling and amiable face.She still kept the letter from the Shunyi Prince's Mansion that Lin Fan handed over to her last time in secret. In it, Mrs. Wang contacted those people, what methods did she use to get Baochai removed, and what she said behind her back , but she firmly recorded in her heart.Now that she hadn't seen her sister marry in Rongguo Mansion, where she could live usefully, her family would have moved away long ago.

Although Mrs. Wang has many hateful things, as a mother, she is still a qualified mother.Thinking that Yuan Chun was imprisoned in the unlucky place of Ci'an Palace, but he racked his brains and lost many relationships, trying to get Yuan Chun out.But in order to get people, one must have a strong relationship, and the other must have enough money.Mrs. Wang doesn't have that kind of thing. The second one has more money, so she can only think of Xue's family.

When I came to Lixiangyuan today, I originally wanted to borrow money from Xue's family.

But she never thought that Lin Fan had told Aunt Xue all the evil things she had done a long time ago.In particular, there was an original sentence in the letter from the Seventh Prince to assist in the investigation, which was said by Mrs. Wang herself, "I kept the Xue family because of how much money her family has.So much money is needed to clear the way for my Yuanchun, how could I let her go.As for Xue Baochai, she still wants to enter the palace, dreaming! Aunt Xue engraved such a sentence in her heart, reminding herself all the time, don't be fooled by her sister's "sweet talk".

So, Mrs. Wang came to Aunt Xue's place, and she used all kinds of methods, but Aunt Xue still insisted on the goal in her heart, 1000 million unshakable.In the end, Mrs. Wang returned without success, and two bubbles appeared on her angry lips.Feeling helpless, I went back to the East Courtyard.

He also said that Lin Fan was with her in Yaoquanxuan, but she was the most informed person in Jia's mansion.With the help of six nuns who have experienced big storms, and Lin Fan has enough money at hand, collecting this information can be said to be a piece of cake.

Uncle Jia She has been living a happy life recently, and everything is comfortable.Although the rights to the ledger have not been taken back, the effect is the same with Jia Lian's wife.Jia Lian's daughter-in-law belongs to Jia Lian, and he is worried that the property is not his own.Don't be too hasty now, take it step by step.

Yunxia met with the servants of Jia's mansion in Jia's mansion every day, and collected gossip from various sources along the way.Ever since, Lin Fan stayed at home, and he had all the news about the entire Jia Mansion.

Now, the situation in Jia's mansion has become like this.

Grandpa Jia She and Mrs. Xing live in the main courtyard, his daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng is the housekeeper, and the old lady checks the books on time at the end of every month.The second master of the second room and Mrs. Wang went to the East Courtyard where they were supposed to live, and lived in a humble dwelling.

As for the guests of Lixiangyuan, Jia She is very good at life.Go to the door and tell Aunt Xue in person, so that she can live in peace of mind.Moreover, Beijing and China are no more complicated than Jinling.Although the Rongguo Mansion is not as good as it was back then, there is no problem in protecting relatives.Let them not have any psychological burden. We are all relatives. As long as the Elder Master can take care of the place, he will definitely take care of it.

These words are very nice and true, subconsciously, Aunt Xue's thoughts have already turned to Da Fang.
