The Opening of the Red Chamber

Just after changing his clothes and wrapped in a thick and soft fox fur cape, Lin Fan, who was about to go out, met Conggui, the servant who was going out with Jing Yuan.Conggui was covered with wind and snow, panting and humming as he ran, his face flushed.As soon as he entered the second gate of the courtyard, he was stopped by the woman guarding the gate.

Lin Fan had just passed through the corridor through the mountain at this time, when he saw Conggui.

Conggui hurriedly bypassed the mother-in-law, went straight to Lin Fan, saluted, and then hurriedly said: "Miss, sister Jingyuan is still in the carriage behind, the younger one came back on horseback first. Lin Fan The elder brother asked the younger one to come back first and tell you that there is a snow storm in the past few days, so let the girl stay at the mansion and not go anywhere. He will arrange everything that the girl is worried about. In addition, he has written to the girl A letter, the letter is with Sister Jingyuan."

After listening to Conggui's message, Lin Fan let go of a worry in her heart, she said: "Okay, I understand. You ran all the way in a hurry, go down and rest." Forget it, turned his head and said to Yunxia who was following beside him, "You and Nanny Lu go to the room behind the building. I remember that there is a ginseng as thick as an arm in my box. First dig it out and prepare it." Now the ginseng Stuff, to Lin Fan, is like a big white radish.Didn't she have a small plot of cultivation experiment land given to her by the base, and she had raised a batch of valuable medicinal materials.The effects of those medicinal materials are particularly excellent because of the heaven-defying environment and land on the Gaia base.After waiting for them to mature, Lin Fan received them and stored them in his small warehouse, so he touched a few through the bracelet on his wrist and put them here.

When Nanny Lu heard this, she gave Lin Fan an appreciative smile, and whispered, "Girl, I don't want to talk too much. I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a lot from the second grandma Lian in the front yard." Let's just give Lin Fan a look of 'you understand'.After that, he led Yunxia towards the back building in the backyard.

Yunxia was a little surprised that Lin Fan said such a thing on this matter, but in a blink of an eye, thinking about Lin Fan's style of doing things in the past few years, and adding what Nanny Lu said just now, she immediately understood.

When the two of them returned to Lin Fan's side, the master and servants all waited in Sister Feng's yard.

It's just that on the way to Sister Feng's son's yard, Mammy Hao gave a more obvious reminder: "Girl, with such a heavy snowfall, Second Mistress Lian may really be having a bit of trouble."

It's hard to describe the atmosphere in Sister Feng's yard at the moment.

Jia Mu sat in the room in the west wing, and the brazier was burning vigorously.In the darkened room, the red lacquer furniture imprinted by the firelight is bright, but there is no joy to be seen.Mrs. Xing and the maidservants who accompanied her were a little anxious, and Mrs. Xing kept pacing in place.Lin Fan sat on the kang bed on one side, holding the stove in his hand and said nothing.Only the footsteps and urging of the mother-in-law carrying water can be heard in the yard.And, from time to time, with the smell of blood wafting out in the cold wind.

Lin Fan was very worried in his heart, and in a somewhat depressed and anxious atmosphere, he couldn't help asking: "Auntie, this is not the first time Sister Feng has given birth to a child, why has there been no movement for so long?"

When Jia Mu heard it, she scolded in a low voice: "Lin girl, you are a girl, you can't say these words anymore."

Lin Fan didn't take it seriously, she didn't care about these vain scruples at all.You must know that in this age when medical conditions are particularly backward, having a child is like stepping into the gate of hell.Sister Feng also takes good care of herself. Lin Fan also asks her to walk around more from time to time to exercise her body and maintain a certain amount of exercise. What she wants is to have a good delivery when she is born.Of course, Lin Fan has read about many shady methods in the mansion in his books.After the addition, the words and deeds of several nuns came to teach me, and I knew that it was not easy.What she is most worried about now is Mrs. Wang's hands and feet.

At this moment Mrs. Wang is no longer here, but she was still there when Lin Fan came.As soon as Lin Fan arrived, she found an excuse and left.Mrs. Xing was worried about her daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Jia was concerned about her great-grandson, so they said nothing.

However, Sister Feng has been here for so long, and it is the second time that she has given birth. According to the examples of house fighting and life experience that the nuns told Lin Fan before, there is indeed something wrong with Sister Feng.Of course, Sister Feng's own physical relationship is not ruled out.In addition, Mammy Lu and Mammy Hao mentioned Lin Fan intentionally or unintentionally before. Although they didn't point out whether someone did it deliberately, Lin Fan still had some doubts in his heart, so he dug out everything as a matter of course. ready.

"Yes, yes, what my grandmother said is true." Lin Fan was not ashamed of this in his heart, but he still had to deal with it on the surface, "Am I really worried about Sister Feng, so I am also in a hurry."

When Jia Mu heard what Lin Fan said, she squinted at her: "I know you care about her, so I'll sit quietly now. Your aunt has already dazzled me enough, if you do the same, the old lady really I'm going to faint."

While talking, Jia Lian, who had been guarding outside Sister Feng's house, stepped in.

When Jia Mu saw him coming in, she hurriedly asked, "Lian'er, how is your daughter-in-law doing now?"

When Jia's mother asked, Jia Lian's eyes suddenly turned red: "The mother said just now that my daughter-in-law's pregnancy is a bit difficult and not easy to conceive. Now let me wait..." As she spoke, her voice became quieter.Mrs. Xing stood there in a daze when she heard these words, her face turned pale instantly.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the house, saying that Sister Feng was a little exhausted and needed to call some more people to help.

Lin Fan stood up from the chair in a flash, and said loudly, "Yunxia, ​​where are the ginseng slices I asked you to prepare just now? Go and bring them here now. In addition, immediately send the mother Xu and mother Gao in my yard Please come here. The two of them have a lot of knowledge and can help."

Jia's mother, Jia Lian and Mrs. Xing were a little stunned. They didn't expect Lin Fan to be so stable at this time, and arranged his staff in an orderly manner.When Mother Jia and Mrs. Xing were about to continue to arrange staff, Lin Fan suddenly turned his head to Mrs. Xing, and said calmly: "Auntie, the backs of the midwives are clean, right? Afraid that some people's hands and feet are not clean, you'd better lead someone to check them. Although it is said that there is no need to have the intention of harming others, it is necessary to guard against others."

After hearing this, Jia's mother and Mrs. Xing immediately understood.Immediately ordered the girls around her to get busy.

Lin Fan continued to sit on the kang bed with her hand warmer in his arms, looking at the busy figures of the people going back and forth, thoughtfully.

When Sister Feng was busy in the yard, Mrs. Wang was hiding in the small Buddhist hall in her yard and worshiping Buddha.He said he wanted to pray for the safety of his niece and daughter, but he didn't mean it sincerely, so we don't know.At least, Jin Chuan and Yin Chuan, who were guarding outside the Small Buddha Hall, noticed that at this moment, their wife was exuding a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere.Especially when Caiyun said just now that the second grandma Lian in the front yard heard the news of exhaustion, the feeling of joy was even more obvious.Jin Chuan and Yin Chuan are sisters. At this moment, the two sisters feel that their wives are weird.

The sky is already completely dark, and the night is dark and thick.

In the cold weather, the cold wind and the blizzard kept whistling.

The lights on Rongfu's side became brighter as the night darkened.

What Lin Fan said before made Mrs. Xing's precautions rise sharply, and the corresponding methods and actions immediately checked the people in Sister Feng's yard inside and out in a short period of time. Then they checked all the nuns who came to deliver the babies.At that time, the ginseng slices sent by Lin Fan made Sister Feng breathe a sigh of relief.Although Xu Momo and Gao Momo were not midwife mothers, those who did psychological work cheered up Sister Feng with a few words.

The two nuns stayed in Sister Feng's room, and after a while they heard good news again and again, and Lin Fan also heaved a sigh of relief.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but Mrs. Xing and Jia Mu's expressions were not good.As for why it doesn't look good, Lin Fan doesn't ask, she believes that it won't be long before Yunxia asks her, and she will explain the complete gossip to her.

While Lin Fan was waiting in Sister Feng's yard, the Shunyi County King's Mansion was also brightly lit, making it impossible to sleep peacefully.

When the seventh prince, Shui Junhui, was snowing heavily in the evening, after receiving the letter from Lin Fan, his heart became more and more uneasy.It's not that he doesn't know that his third brother and fifth brother are working together on the matter of hoarding grain by profiteers in Beijing.Even if he didn't tell Lin Fan, he believed that with Lin Fan's brain, she would figure it out before long.But what made him even more anxious and worried was the puppet plan that Lin Fan mentioned to him about the Four Emperor Brothers and his father.The water in the court hall can no longer be described as turbid, but a calm undercurrent.On the surface it looks calm and everything is in order, but only those who wade in the water will know how deep and terrifying it is.His seemingly gentle and harmless fourth brother is now even more gentle and approachable than before, and his face changed when he mentioned the court affairs. The whole appearance is that he knows how to be filial to a saint but doesn't understand affairs, perfect No one can find the flaws under this mask.

But Shui Junhui didn't believe him, the fourth brother, because he clearly remembered that Lin Fan said that no flaw is actually the best flaw.People in their position, even if they don't want to go, will be forced to go by the people and things around them.As a royal, how could he say no to that position.Even if you want to say no, the ability to take a step back to protect yourself is enough to get that position.

In the snowy night, the more Shui Junhui thought, the more he lost sleep.

It was only in the middle of the night that I finally felt a little drowsy.

Of course, during the same period of time, Jia's mansion finally received good news.Sister Feng gave birth smoothly and gave birth to a fat boy who weighed seven catties.Jia Lian, who had been waiting outside the house for a long time, was the happiest, clamoring loudly to give red envelopes to the waiters in the yard to celebrate.

Lin Fan left Nanny Xu and Nanny Gao with Sister Feng and went back to the yard. She had already fallen asleep when the news came.When waiting to receive this news, it was already daylight.
