The Opening of the Red Chamber

After chatting with Sister Feng for two cups of tea, Lin Fan returned to Yaoquan Pavilion.

After she calmed down, she carefully thought about what other matters had not been properly handled when she left Beijing, and quickly resolved all the problems while she was still in Beijing.As for the handkerchiefs from various official families in Beijing, Lin Fan also took the newly-produced rice sticks from the rouge shop as gifts and gave them to them.

The days passed unhurriedly, and in a blink of an eye, it was June 25, the 22th year of Jianyuan.

This morning, Jia She went out to go to court. When Lin Fan returned from greeting Jiamu, he saw a person who was almost forgotten by her on weekdays—the dog-carrying maid she brought back from the Princess's mansion.

The dog-carrying maid is just a cover for this person's identity, she is the secret guard next to the eldest princess.

As soon as Lin Fan stepped into the room and sat down, the two maids, Yunxia and Yunwei, brought tea without saying a word, and then retreated outside the room knowingly.

"Princess has already arranged the date?" Seeing the appearance of the hidden guard, Lin Fan was slightly taken aback, but his expression remained normal.

The hidden guard was dressed as a maidservant, but the moment she spoke, her words were as precious as gold and her sternness gave her a very inconspicuous incompatibility: "Miss Lin, the day chosen by the princess is the second day of the seventh lunar month. .”

Lin Fan took a breath to calm down the complicated thoughts in his mind, and asked: "How do I travel? Should I walk in the open, or put on makeup?" He came after him.Now that we are leaving, who knows what will happen?What's more, they want to take away a grandma Xiao Rong who is lying on the hospital bed? !

The hidden guard was not surprised when he heard this, and said calmly: "Princess asked Miss Lin to leave the capital with the snow geese, and someone will come to pick her up that day."

After hearing this, Lin Fan had an instant understanding, and immediately asked: "Then what should the person next door do?"

"Miss Lin, you don't need to worry, the princess will naturally take care of this matter." The guard's answer immediately reassured Lin Fan.In this way, she doesn't have to rack her brains to figure out how to get people away.Now that the big problems are all solved, the hidden worries in her heart immediately dissipated, and the corners of her lips inadvertently and secretly put on a slow smile.

After the hidden guard delivered the words, he immediately turned around and walked outside the house, continuing to be her dog-hugging maid.

Lin Fan stayed in the room alone, staring at the stone bricks under her feet in meditation, her breathing could be heard in the quiet room.

In the following time, because of the words from the eldest princess, after traveling with snow geese, Lin Fan knew it in his heart.How did I come to Beijing in the first place, and how did I leave now.At the thought of returning to Yangzhou, Lin Fan's mood inexplicably improved and he was full of expectations.Instead, the dangerous assumptions that may be encountered along the way have been left behind.

Then again, it will come, because of the secrecy of this matter, Lin Fan never mentioned it to his uncle Jia She from the beginning to the end.Not to mention the drowsy old lady Jia who lived every day.Although Jia's Mansion is not a place that she likes very much, after all, she has lived here for such a long time, after all, it is full of people she hates, and she has a little affection for it.So, in the remaining few days, she spent as much dinner and jokes with everyone as possible at Sister Feng's place and the Spring Festival place.

As for the second room, hey, that's a heavy topic.

The second room that moved out and the brat Jia Baoyu, who hadn’t seen anyone for a long time, hadn’t thought about it deliberately, and would have almost forgotten that there was still a roommate living in the back street of the General’s Mansion.Regarding the news about the second room, Yunxia's inquisitive person would also send some gossip to her from time to time.Today's second bedroom can make as much noise as they want, and it doesn't matter if the family is flying around.Not to mention that Lin Fan is about to leave Beijing, which has nothing to do with her.

On the second day of July, the scorching sun hung overhead.

Lin Fan changed into simple clothes, took four big girls along with Xueyan and the nanny, and said hello to his uncle Jia She, saying that he was going to the rouge shop to have a look, and then got into the car. out the door.

The moment the car pulled out of the side door of Jia's Mansion, Lin Fan suddenly felt a slight sense of melancholy.

Xueyan sitting beside her was still smiling and chatting with Yunxia Yunwei and the others, but the reluctance in the eyes of Yunxia Yunwei and the others looking at Lin Fan became more and more intense.They belonged to the Seventh Prince, and the eldest princess came out to send them over.What's more, they have followed Lin Fan in the past few years. Now that Lin Fan is leaving Beijing, they are naturally very nostalgic.Lin Fan, the girl who is the master, treats them kindly, and the heart that never treats them as human beings, they can feel it themselves.What's more, now that Lin Fan is gone, they still don't know what will happen in the future.About Lin Fan's leaving, they were informed and warned by Hao Hao personally.They don't know anything about other things. All they need to do is to take care of the double and keep everything as usual.

The car wobbled towards Lin Fan's rouge shop in Beijing.After getting off the car, Lin Fan and Xue Yan walked towards the shop together.

Then, from here, he changed into another clothes, got on the carriage out of the city and headed out of the city.

When Lin Fan got rid of the luxurious silk and satin all over her body, and was wearing the clothes of a country peasant girl, she was sitting calmly on the bullock cart pulling the haystacks, the little girl Xueyan beside her was very excited. Crashed.She had no idea that today would be such a sudden journey without warning or preparation.

The shaft of the bullock cart creaked and crushed on the hard road covered with loess and dust, with the scorching sun above the head, the summer cicadas lurking on the sparse tree branches on both sides of the road tried their best to say "I know, I know, I know!" "The cry fell in the ears of the little girl Xueyan, making her complain and anxious one after another.

"Girl, why do we want to go home like this?" Xue Yan was extremely puzzled, her big eyes were full of doubts.

The current Xueyan is not the same as the Xueyan when it came to Jia's house, and it is even different from the original book.He is not thin and small, nor does he show any timidity on his face.She has grown up under Lin Fan's deliberate guidance.She is no longer a submissive girl, but a big girl who can let Lin Fan rest assured to hand over a lot of financial housekeeping to her.

At this moment, Lin Fan listened to Xue Yan's puzzlement and complaints, but he explained surprisingly calmly: "Why? We don't have enough travel expenses~! Wouldn't it be nice to go home in a bullock cart? I saw the scenery along the way." Lin Fan said smoothly He said flickeringly, "Why are you so anxious? I think this is very good, and I don't have to be dizzy by the bumps of the carriage and the merchant ship."

"In such a big sun, you will get sunburned." Xueyan replied a little angrily, "I don't believe what the girl said about the travel expenses. I am in charge of all the girls' belongings. As for the travel expenses home Girl, if you spend a lot of money, if you spend less, it will be enough for our travel expenses back."

"Well, I know." Lin Fan nodded, and took up the topic calmly, "You just think it's me who wants to travel like this on a whim."

Xueyan persisted: "I don't believe you have such a strange idea, girl." As she spoke, she kept turning her head to look at the old woman driving the car, and deliberately lowered her voice to whisper in Lin Fan's ear. He said, "Girl, is there something important for us to go like this? Just like what is written in the scriptures you read, with something more important than the Escort?"

Lin Fan stared at Xueyan's face with curiosity and surprise, and suppressed the feeling of 'fuck' that rose up in his heart, and sighed sincerely: There is no lack of such things as brain holes throughout the ages!But I have to admit that the little girl Xueyan really guessed right. Could it be that there is really something written on her face that says, "The princess's military talisman is with me, if you want to rob it, come quickly." Ah' catchphrase? !

"Ah, Xueyan, tell me, why don't I remember that there are some stories like this in the book I read?" Lin Fan laughed, and started to make nonsense, "I remember that what I read seems to be all kinds of strange gossip or stories about ghosts and ghosts. Qingqing, I, and I under the flowers before the moon, when did you read those escort bureaus you mentioned?" He said, staring at Xueyan with a smirk, "I'm afraid you secretly read the script."

Xueyan was anxious by Lin Fan's slapping words, and hurriedly waved her hands and said, "I don't have one." In her haste, she spoke the truth in her heart rather unexpectedly, "I'm very worried about the girl, We're leaving today. The girl's uncle, that is, the old man, don't know how to worry? The wife, Miss Yingchun, and Lian's second mistress will definitely be worried to death."

"Hey, what the hell, you're talking nonsense again." Lin Fan stretched out his hand and touched Xueyan's head with a smile, and said with a smile in an elder's tone, "I left a letter for uncle, don't worry, he will Don't worry about me. Maybe you're jumping around in the study room when you're angry."

At the same time, just as Lin Fan said, Jia She was indeed jumping in the study.

Because when he set off this morning, Lin Fan went to Jia She's study in person, and stuffed the letter he had written long ago under the felt of the desk.Calculated based on the time when Jia She went to court, when he found the letter under the blanket, it should be the time when she left the city.

And now, it's past noon.

Jia Amnesty walked back and forth in the study, wanting to break the floor.But in a blink of an eye, he thought of the secrecy and low-key that Lin Fan had emphasized in his letter, and he had to suppress the anger in his heart, and then he held back and thought of ways to deal with Lin Fan's aftermath.Because he didn't expect Lin Fan to have such courage at all, and he didn't expect Lin Fan to end up on the side of the Seventh Prince.The situation in Beijing is changing rapidly, and he walked on the court like walking on eggshells.Now that he learned that his niece had sent an important thing in a blatant manner, although Lin Fan didn't write anything in the letter, that important thing somehow made Jia Shen think of something in his letter.It was precisely because of these associations and brain supplements that made Jia She angry and worried, which made Jia She even more restless.

However, what was even more surprising was that after Lin Fan walked out of the capital, it was after noon.

Grandma Xiao Rong from Ning Mansion in the east fainted!
