The Opening of the Red Chamber

Lin Fan, who thought he could take a breather for a while, never thought that today, he went out to the Ning Mansion next door to have a small gathering, and when he came back early, he met a matchmaker who came to talk about the matchmaking.

Of course, this matchmaker is not here to propose marriage to her, but to Yingchun.

In an instant, Lin Fan, who was still lying on the bed with big characters, woke up instantly, oh, what a good thing.The bastard uncle in the original book was Sun Shaozu who sold Yingchun to Zhongshan Wolf. He was tortured to death by domestic violence within a year of his marriage.One of the tragic characters.Sometimes, when Lin Fan calmed down to meditate, he always felt that those words were right, that poor people must have something to hate.

The second girl in the original book is honest and incompetent, cowardly and fearful, and is nicknamed "Er Mumu".In fact, it was too much tolerance and retreat in my heart that caused this result.The uncle in the original book is also a coward, and the tragedy cannot be caused by one person.

Guanzhi is on one side now, even Lin Fan himself can't spoil the plot, no matter how you look at it, it's all good.

It is a very formal matter for the official media to come to propose marriage.

Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing received the official media in the front yard, while Bao Inquiring from Yunxia's side caught up with the live broadcaster to deliver news to Lin Fan.Lin Fan was very happy to hear that, it turned out that the person who came to propose marriage was the family of the Minister of Rites.The servant of the Ministry of Rites is the current Master Liu of the Liu family in Beijing. This Master Liu is noble and low-key. He has three sons in his family and no sons of concubine.Although the minister of the Ministry of Rites is a fourth-rank official, he has a saying that he is in charge of the world's etiquette, sacrifices, and tributes.

This time, the person that the official media came to proclaim was none other than the youngest son of Master Liu's family.Compared with Sun Shaozu in the original book, this marriage is a hundred times better.Even Jia Amnesty himself had no idea that his daughter was being admired by others unconsciously.Mrs. Xing's face beamed with joy when she heard who came to propose marriage.Her wife's diplomatic route was not in vain. When she was the housekeeper of the second room, these were all the wives in Beijing and China. They were all done by Mrs. Wang, so it was her turn to go.

The children of good families are all optimistic and engaged early, and Yingchun didn't get close to Mrs. Xing before. This stepmother and stepdaughter have no feelings. If the stepmother takes great care of a marriage, it is tantamount to daydreaming.But it's different now. Yingchun gets along very well with Mrs. Xing. Sometimes, whenever Mrs. Xing has social gatherings with Mrs. Jingzhong, she will always bring Sister Sanchun with her.

This long-term relationship is naturally a caring person, so Jia She and Mrs. Xing are very satisfied with the arrival of this good marriage.

Although Lin Fan was not there to listen to the conversation between the official media and the elders, but hearing Yunxia's gossip and joy, he thought that this matter must be done.No wonder Mrs. Xing urged Sister Sanchun and her cousin to go out to play next door early in the morning, and she was afraid that they would not go out.

Looking at it now, I'm afraid there were signs of this marriage long ago, and it was agreed to be a matchmaker.

At noon, after Lin Fan ate lunch by himself, he leaned on the imperial concubine's couch and took a nap.While he was in a daze, he suddenly heard loud laughter coming from outside his room, he woke up startled, and saw a fiery red figure swaying in front of him with sleepy eyes.

"Sister Lin, you sleep well, the sun is shining, why don't you come out and relax?"

"Xiangyun?!"

This voice is too familiar, and the emotions of opening and closing are always dancing along with the voice. When I hear the voice, I can't help but think of the owner of the voice, and the face that is always laughing and laughing.

"It's me. I'll come and see the ancestors, and come and see you." The little girl's temperament is still so defiant, but she has grown up in the past two years, and she is very tightly restrained by her uncle and aunt, so she seldom comes over. "It took me a lot of effort to convince my aunt to let me go out to see you. But now you are alone, and the other sisters have gone out to play."

"Sister Feng took them to the Ning Mansion next door to enjoy flowers and drink. You sit down first, and I will ask the servant girl to bring you tea." After calling Xiangyun to sit down, Lin Fan hurriedly called people to serve tea, and asked Jing Yu brought water, and hurriedly cleansed his face and refreshed himself.

The afternoon sun is very good, and the lighting in Yaoquanxuan's room is also good.

The warm light penetrated through the carved window sills and fell on the bright wooden floor, reflecting light golden light.Warm, with a sense of laziness and tranquility.

Xiangyun was drinking tea, stared at Lin Fan carefully for a few times, and then said with relief: "I heard that you were sick a few days ago, and wanted to visit you, but I was too busy with family affairs, and I couldn't leave. Don't be angry with me." As he spoke, he took out a sachet from his sleeve pocket, "I made this myself, and it contains refreshing spices, which make people feel refreshed when worn. Take it with you, refresh yourself, and go out for a walk."

Lin Fan took the sachet she sent, played with it in his hand, and looked at it carefully.The needlework was done by her own hands, and she has improved a lot compared to before. This beautiful female red makes Lin Fan feel inferior. "It's really well done. I don't have the thought to calm down and poke every stitch. Thank you, Xiangyun."

"You don't need to say thank you to me." Xiangyun asked in a low voice while eating the small cakes served by Jingyun, "Sister Lin, what happened the other day? Woolen cloth?"

When talking about this matter, Lin Fan could only shake his head and said, "I don't know either. My grandmother is still recuperating in bed, and she only wakes up for a while every day. Uncle and we don't know what she is going to do. Either way, we can only follow her heart."

Xiang Yun was silent, with a deep bitterness in his tone, and sighed: "I wanted to come here a long time ago, but I couldn't leave anyway. Now that the ancestor is still in such a coma, I am really afraid..."

Hearing what she said, Lin Fan naturally understood what she was afraid of.Her uncle and aunt treated her as a child separated by a layer of blood, how could they treat her as well as her own child?Although Jia's mother is sometimes very calculating, she really loves her when she treats the younger generation, especially her grandniece Xiangyun.If something really happened to Mother Jia, who knows what Xiangyun's aunt would do?

Lin Fan didn't know how to comfort her due to her momentary emotional loss, so he could only persuade her, "In the afternoon, I'll go with you to see my grandmother. Don't worry, my grandmother has an imperial doctor invited by my uncle to see her." .Now the imperial doctor has said that it should be kept healthy. Since the imperial doctor said that it is fine, it must be fine."

While talking with Lin Fan, after she ate some pastries, she took out the sewing bag she was wearing, and started to work again while talking to Lin Fan.Seeing her like this, Lin Fan immediately heard the words from the original book, "If you can't be the master at home, you must do it yourself." In this way, Lin Fan said: "Take a break, don't get tired. If you have any work, let my maids here help you, otherwise they will all be moldy when they are idle." , she gave Yunwei and other big girls who were guarding here a wink, and Yunwei and other girls came forward to take over the work in her hands.

Yun Qian even asked with a smile: "Since Mrs. Smith is here to play with our girls, don't worry about it. If you like it, what kind of hooks you want to play, just use your mouth to tell. We, just tell the girl Same, idle."

Xiangyun naturally knew Lin Fan's intentions, and his nose turned red for a while.

Yunxia hurriedly handed over a cup of fruit tea, and said with a smile: "Miss Smith, you come and taste this fruit tea. But our girl ordered it to be made at the end of the year, and you were the first to taste it. Tell me quickly. Is it good to drink, is there any room for improvement?" The witty and dexterous Yunxia quickly diverted Shi Xiangyun's attention.

In the afternoon, after Madam Xing learned that Shi Xiangyun had come, she invited Lin Fan and Shi Xiangyun to Rongxi Hall for dinner.

Sister Sanchun and Sister Feng hurried back when they got the news.The little sisters who hadn't seen each other for a long time gathered together, and naturally they were having a lot of fun.There was a banquet in the house, and Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng led all the sisters talking and laughing.

After dinner, Lin Fan accompanied Shi Xiangyun to Jia Mu's place.

Jia's mother is now in a daze, showing some early symptoms of dementia.Recognizes people, but is always confused.Lin Fan knew that Jia's mother was definitely not simply ill. She knew now what was going on, and it was not the time to ask.

When Shi Xiangyun arrived at Jiamu's place, he sat by Jiamu's bed and talked to Jiamu carefully.

Lin Fan sat on the kang in the next room and waited quietly.

At this time, a little maid came over with a tea tray, and when she walked to Lin Fan's side, she suddenly stopped in front of Lin Fan.Then he swiftly and swiftly flicked a ball of paper to Lin Fan's skirt, and left as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the small ball of paper beside his skirt, Lin Fan suddenly became alert.

Jiamu's maid Yuanyang and others accompanied Shi Xiangyun to talk with Jiamu in the room, and she was the only one in the room this time.

Lin Fan hurriedly bent down to pick up the small ball of paper, stuffed it into his sleeve, and then waited calmly.

After a while, Shi Xiangyun came out with a worried face.Lin Fan didn't ask any further questions, knowing that she was in a very low mood now, and it was unnecessary to talk, and he had to wait for her to recover.After they walked out of Jiamu's yard side by side, they headed towards Sister Feng.

When Sister Feng gave birth to her younger brother, the Queen Mother passed away, so there was no full moon wine held at that time, let alone the situation at that time.Therefore, after seeing Jia's mother, Shi Xiangyun naturally went to see the children.When I went to Sister Feng's yard, Sister Feng was talking with Ping'er about the housekeeper's trivial matters. When she saw Lin Fan and Shi Xiangyun coming, she hurriedly greeted them.

Lin Fan's ears were sharp, and he heard Sister Feng and Ping'er discussing furniture and other things, so he thought of what happened in the morning, and asked with a smile: "Sister Feng, Ping'er, you two, master and servant, are chattering, what can we talk about?" Is it a good thing for sister Yingchun?"

"What a good thing?" Shi Xiangyun on the side heard it and asked curiously.

Sister Feng sneered and said, "Sister Lin, you are well-informed. I only found out about it after I came back. How did you know?"

"Did you meet me when you came back dizzy from the sun?"

Listening to the conversation between Lin Fan and Sister Feng, Shi Xiangyun became more and more curious: "What happened?"
