The Opening of the Red Chamber

I won't say much about the situation in the palace, but something happened in Rongguo Mansion that made Lin Fan feel agitated.

The thing is like this, because of the death of the old queen mother in the palace, starting from Jiamu, everyone in the big house in Jia's mansion has to mourn in the palace.Sister Feng doesn't have to go after giving birth, and Jia Lian doesn't have to go because she has to manage the general affairs.The whole butler thing has become a vacant position.How could Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing hand over the stewardship that was so hard to get back?

Therefore, after hearing the official news from the palace, Uncle Jia Amnesty immediately handed over the butler of Jia's mansion to Lin Fan, and asked her to take care of him during this time.

This is good, Mrs. Wang of the second room secretly gritted her teeth with hatred.

Let’s talk about another key figure, Jia Zheng.

You must know that when the power of Zhongfu did not fall into the hands of the first room, the life of the second room was really good.But after a change in feng shui, after Jia Zheng moved to the small courtyard where Jia She lived, he began to feel a gap.Jia Zheng was a prudish person in the first place. After all of a sudden, without the financial foundation to support him, those followers and cronies who followed him had long since slipped away, so why would they come to see him?Not to mention the flattery of drinking and composing poems together.

Jia Zheng's life was difficult, and his temper became a little weird.If he hadn't learned that his eldest daughter Yuan Chun had entered the palace and became a concubine not long ago, he might have been drunk every day.The accidental incident gave him another stimulus and made him start to have hope.Jia Zheng's heart and eyes are as deep and dense as Mrs. Wang's, which is more than that.Although he didn't touch the twists and turns in the backyard before, and didn't deal with it himself, how could he not know that being in charge of the central feeder is a lucrative and lucrative job?

Amidst the hardships of life, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang have always been of the same mind on this point.

So, less than an hour after Lin Fan had just picked up the account books and cards from Mrs. Xing and Jia She, Mrs. Wang, who never went to the Three Treasures Hall, came.

Regarding the fact that the big house handed over the butler to Lin Fan, Jia's mother was actually a little bit reticent.After all, people's hearts are biased, she still loves her youngest son more than her eldest son.She also thought of Jia Baoyu's obedient grandson in her eyes, so she wanted Mrs. Wang to be the housekeeper, and deliberately asked the second room to earn some oil and water to subsidize it.But Jia Amnesty's back is straight now, and there are some signs of confusion in the court. Jia's mother's words have lost some weight, and this weight is still decreasing with the passage of time.Just like this matter, even if Jia's mother expresses her meaning intentionally, Jia Amnesty has already cultivated the listening ability of selective filtering, and she simply turns a deaf ear.Mother Jia also had no choice but to ask her maid to pass the message to Mrs. Wang when she was going out, and asked her to negotiate with Lin Fan.

It may be that Jia Mu is really old and her memory is not very good, and when Lin Fan is in front of her on weekdays, she always appears obedient and obedient.He coaxed the old lady every now and then, so that to a certain extent, Jia's mother forgot the fierce fighting power under Lin Fan's skin.

No, on a gloomy afternoon, when the sky was covered with clouds, the annoying Mrs. Wang came.

Mrs. Wang is Lin Fan's elder, the second aunt in this body, no matter how much Lin Fan hates her, it is impossible for her to start tearing up as soon as they meet.She clearly knew the purpose of Mrs. Wang's visit, so she really wanted to see what kind of tricks Mrs. Wang was trying to play.

Treated the second aunt with good tea and water, and then Lin Fan waited for her to take the initiative.It's like the white stone on Go, waiting for the black stone to make the first move.

Over the past few years, Mrs. Wang has been keeping a low profile, and her ability to fight at home has been secretly improved, and she is even better at speaking.She smiled very lovingly, and said gently: "Is Miss Lin in good health these days? The weather is cold, and you fell into the water again, but you have to take care of it. Girls are most afraid of catching cold, but Don't be careless. As a second aunt, I don't have any other good things. In the first half month, I got a few boxes of good bird's nest. I thought you, a girl, needed it most, so I brought you this."

Lin Fan smiled when he heard this, and thought to himself: This time he took the gentle offensive route, instead of cutting straight to the point, he still has to play the family card.

"Then thank you, Second Aunt." Lin Fan nodded his thanks, motioned Xue Yan to come forward to accept the gift box, and then said with a smile, "Second Aunt, in fact, my body will be raised in the past few years. It's not bad. Although it looks fragile, the foundation inside is well-raised. My aunt and uncle often send me various supplements, and I'm tired of eating them."

Mrs. Wang was startled when she heard these words, she was so choked that she couldn't speak.What Lin Fan said was obvious. He had seen too many supplements on weekdays, and he was very tired.It's an obvious announcement that the eldest room is much better than your second room, and cares about me more than your second room.The implication is self-evident.

Another point is that after Lin Fan arrived in Jia's mansion, not only did he grow taller, but his thick skin also grew a lot.In terms of shameless skills, Mrs. Wang really can't compare with it.Coupled with Father Lin's education in Lin Fan's letters over the past few years, as well as the teachings of several nuns who came out of the palace beside him, Lin Fan now faces Mrs. Wang with more confidence than the first time he came to Rongguo Mansion to meet with Wang. Madam is still full when fighting.

But Mrs. Wang is the old ginger who has lived in this house for so long, and it is very spicy.But after being startled for a moment, she immediately continued without changing her expression: "Madam Lin, is she blaming the second aunt?" After a slight pause, she said in a self-deprecating tone, "In the past few years, your second uncle and aunt The second aunt is indeed inferior to your uncle and the others, but they care about you in the same way."

Lin Fan got goosebumps when he heard it, and shivered suddenly, and said, "Second Aunt, you really think too much." This damn, goosebumps all over her body.Suddenly, Lin Fan felt that his previous decision to entangle Mrs. Wang slowly was wrong. She still wanted to make a quick decision and get him out as soon as possible.

Seeing that Lin Fan's face was not right, and the tone of his voice just now, Mrs. Wang immediately seized the opportunity: "Girl Lin, are you uncomfortable?"

Lin Fan immediately denied it and said, "No." It was because of your way of finding topics that made you feel uncomfortable.After a short delay, Lin Fan said to Yunxia who was beside her in front of Mrs. Wang, "Let Nanny Lu and Mother Jiang deliver the arrangements to Sister Feng's yard later, and ask her to look over and nod. You guys Those who are with me, go to discuss it privately, and those who change shifts will help the two nuns to do something. The two nuns are people who came from the side of the empress in the palace, and they are absolutely reliable in doing things. You are also from the palace. There are even more rules and relaxation in doing things. I believe in you, and I will leave all the housekeeper's affairs to you. You can discuss the big things, and you can handle the small things." After finishing speaking, after Yunxia agreed, she turned around and went out to find the two stewards Mammy is gone.

Mrs. Wang was choked again by Lin Fan's surprise. She was aiming to seize the housekeeper's power, but now Lin Fan said these words directly, and almost pointed at her face. .This action made Mrs. Wang feel ashamed from the bottom of her heart.She is an elder, but she can't be angry with Lin Fan even now.Not to mention Lin Fan's attitude towards her elder, even if she wants to use the elder's style to oppress others, it depends on whether Lin Fan gives her a chance.

No, Mrs. Wang, who was about to speak, never expected that Lin Fan's face would change so quickly: "Yunwei, I'm dizzy. Maybe it's because I blew a cool breeze early. I want to take a rest." With an apologetic smile on his face, he said to Mrs. Wang, "Second Aunt, I may really be as uncomfortable as you said just now, and I have caught a cold. I will go to rest for a while, and I will not accompany Second Aunt. Please forgive me. .” As for really forgiving or not forgiving, Lin Fan doesn’t take it seriously.

Lin Fan threw people aside so carelessly, and went to the inner room to lie down with dizziness and headache.

Caiyun, Caixia, and Zhou Rui's family who followed Mrs. Wang were all dumbfounded.But after staying there, he was relieved.Caiyun and Caixia, in particular, knew very clearly what happened to Mrs. Wang when Lin Fan came to Jia's mansion.It is normal for Lin Fan to behave like this now.It was Zhou Rui's family, but he was thinking about some things in his heart.

But Lin Fan, who was lying on the bed in the room and pretended to be uncomfortable, was very upset. Although the matter of Sister Feng's childbirth was not her business, Mrs. Wang bribed the midwife to do those tricks. When Mrs. Xing investigated, Mrs. His wife, Jia Mu, deliberately maintained the second room.Lin Fan knew very well that it was Mrs. Wang who did it, but those important clues were cut off by Jia Mu's deliberate protection, and she shamelessly said that family scandals should not be publicized.But this is still a family matter, no matter how much Lin Fan can't stand it, he can't point fingers.She just quietly disclosed this matter to Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng through other people's mouths.She can't control what happens next.

Hearing the noise outside the house and the voice of the maid seeing off the guests, Lin Fan suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Seeing the appearance of her own girl, Yun Wei couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Young lady, you are really right. I never thought that the second wife would come so soon."

"How long do you think it will be before she comes?"

"At least let the girl take care of it for a few days, and then pick up trouble before coming to the girl."

Lin Fan listened, turned over and sat up suddenly, couldn't help laughing and said, "Nurse Lu and Mother Jiang will definitely tell Sister Feng about this, so don't worry, she won't be able to do anything tricky. Here. Even if she dug the hole well, it depends on whether people jump or not. Besides, from today on, the important things are handled by the maids and women in our yard. As I said just now, you The origin of it is not simple, these messy things in the yard may be considered normal in your eyes. I really believe that Mammy and you have this ability."

Yun Wei laughed when she heard that, Yun Qian who was arranging things at the side interrupted and said: "Young lady started talking nonsense again, the Seventh Prince's mansion is only his master, where did we see this?"

"Oh? It's the first time I've heard this topic brought up." Lin Fan was distracted by Yunqian, and said curiously, "Yunqian, I'm curious about one thing. Your prince has been in the backyard for so many years. nobody?"

"Girl, what are you asking!" Yun Qian had a thin skin, and when Lin Fan, who was ashamed and impatient in her bones, asked her, she blushed immediately.

Lin Fan seemed to have really fallen into a topic that she had forgotten for a long time, muttering: "It's true, I have known your prince for almost four years, and I really haven't paid attention to this issue."
