[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

It was still on the third floor of Mingxiang Tea House. This time, Luochun did not reserve the entire third floor, but only asked for one of the boxes, but because the box was not very soundproof, she was worried that her voice would be heard by the tea drinkers next door, so she suffered She also occupied the two adjacent rooms on the left and right of the box.

Luochun stood in front of the window with a teacup in his hand, slowly sipped the tea in his hand, looked at the corner of the street through the window, and looked thoughtfully at the people coming and going on the street.Pinxiu opened the door and came in from the outside, and said: "Girl, Ma Fan is here." Luo Chun turned his head, looked at Ma Fan who came in behind Pinxiu, and nodded to Pinxiu to show that he knew.Pinxiu retreated, leaving room for Luochun and Ma Fan, and closed the door.

"I heard from Sazhi that you've been running to her house recently and asked her father to send a message to see me. I don't know what it is?" Luochun walked away from the window, came to the middle of the room, and picked up the teapot from the table. Filling up the teacup in his hand, he asked casually.

Seeing Luochun's calm and breezy appearance, Ma Fan said angrily, "Miss Liu, you are so smart, how can you not guess why I want to see you when you walk ten steps? Why do you ask knowingly?"

Luochun pulled the chair away, sat down, held the tea cover, tapped the teacup one after another, and said, "Why are you asking knowingly? I really don't know why you must see me..."

"Why is the sixth girl pretending to be stupid with me here?" Ma Fan sneered at this interrupting Luochun, and said, "It wasn't like this when the sixth girl asked me to have a relationship with the cousin of Zheng Yushi's family. Do some things really require me? Can you make it clear? That would be boring."

Luo Chun stopped what he was doing, stared at Ma Fan with a half-smile, chuckled, and said, "I didn't expect you to be a loyal servant, Ma Fan. What right do you have to question me?"

Seeing that Luochun no longer denied it, Ma Fan said angrily: "Sure enough, the reason why the mansion has become like this is because of your plan..."

"Wrong, I don't have that much ability." Luochun smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said, "I'm just a little girl in my boudoir, but I don't have that much ability to affect the outside situation. It's just a push, and I didn't expect things to turn out like this in the end. After all, I am the sixth girl of Rongguo Mansion, and only with Rongguo Mansion present can I be the lady of my Duke Hou Men's Mansion. I I am attached to the Rongguo Mansion, and I will be fine only if the mansion is stable. What good will it do me if the mansion becomes like this? I have such a great ability to stir up wind and rain, you really think highly of me, you I can't afford to blame everything on me."

Originally, Ma Fan thought that Luochun was responsible for the Rongguo Mansion's current appearance, because he was instructed by Luochun to do some things that were not good for the mansion, so he went to Luochun to ask for clarification, but this After listening to Luo Chun's words, she felt that Luo Chun's words were reasonable, and she really couldn't blame Luo Chun for all the crimes.After all, even though Ma Fan is a servant, he is still a man, and he still made a common-sense mistake in this male-dominated society, that is, he thinks Luo Chun is a woman and underestimates her.In addition, as Luochun said, she is the eldest lady of the mansion, and she has no grievances with the mansion. Naturally, she can only hope that the mansion will be good, and there is no reason to hope that the mansion will be unlucky. There are also "freaks" like Luochun who do the opposite.

Seeing that Ma Fan was fooled by himself, Luo Chun smiled, not wanting to continue the topic just now, and said: "There is a rumor in the mansion that it seems that the manpower is going to be cut. Do you and your family have any plans?"

Ma Fan was stunned for a moment, and said: "What plans can we have? Apart from serving people, our family has no other skills. If we can stay in the mansion and continue to work, that's fine; Can you find a job to support the family, after all, the whole family always has to eat."

Still want to stay in the mansion?Luo Chun was very surprised when he heard the words, he didn't expect that their family would still want to stay in the mansion when the mansion was in a precarious state?Are you going to advance and retreat together with the Rongguo Mansion?Really faithful.At first, Luochun felt that Ma Fan was loyal to the mansion, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that the mansion is now precarious and in danger. These veteran servants at the upper level know, because they know that the matter is of great importance, so the news is still tightly sealed, and the servants below do not know at all. Unexpectedly, the seriousness of the matter has reached such a level. In their eyes, the Rongguo Mansion is a hard-core crop that will not fail, and it is their lifelong iron rice bowl.

Equality and freedom do not exist in a society where this class exists. The life of the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister and the servants of a wealthy family is much easier than that of ordinary people. For them, the servants who work in the Rongguo Mansion Basically, no one would put away the good iron job they have already held, and go outside to seek a new life.Even a rebellious Qingwen, when Baoyu told her to go out, she would "rather die than come out of this door", so it is not a good thing for the people in the house to leave the house. Unless, like the Lai family, the family is rich, so let Lai Shangrong go out and let him become an official.Like Zhou Rui's family, they know the virtues of a boy who works in the mansion, and they just don't want their daughter to be married to a boy casually, so they let their daughter go out and marry Leng Zixing, but the son of the family is still working in the mansion and not No idea of ​​leaving the house.

Originally, Luochun thought that if Ma Fan had any ideas, since he had helped her with things, she could help her, but seeing that he had such thoughts, she hid her thoughts and waited for the mansion to cut her. Let's talk about the list of people.Luochun knew that people like Ma Fan, if nothing happened, must be among those who were cut off, so he said: "You know, my mother and I don't manage the house, so it's not clear whether you can stay in the house or not." I can’t talk about it.” With a wry smile, “Even if we help you talk, you have to be willing to listen. If you leave the mansion, if you need help, you can go to Saori’s father and ask him to send a letter to I, I will help as much as I can."

Ma Fan also knew that it was unlikely that his family could stay in the mansion, so he wanted to ask Luochun to intercede and let their family stay, but before he could speak, Luochun blocked the road first After he died, he couldn't say anything more, so he said dryly to Luochun's later talk about helping her, "Then I'll thank Miss Six here first." Having said that, he and Luochun had nothing to say anymore. Said, turned around and left.

When Ma Fan left, Pinxiu came in from the outside, came to Luochun, and called in a low voice: "Girl?" Luochun sat on the seat in a daze, regained consciousness, got up and walked out.Luo Chun casually walked on the street, wandering aimlessly, Pinxiu followed behind without saying a word, until it was time to eat at noon, she walked a few steps quickly, stood side by side with Luo Chun, and softly reminded: " Girl, it's about this time, it's time to go back home."

Luo Chun raised his head, looked at the sun above his head, and said: "Let's go to Uncle's house." He took Pinxiu and walked to Xing's house.Luochun arrived at Xing's house with Pinxiu's forefoot, and Xing Dequan came back from the yamen behind.Xing Dequan came home specially for lunch. When he saw Luochun, he looked around and said with a smile, "Why don't you guys say hello in advance when you come over, so I can come back from the yamen earlier. Where is your mother, who is with your third aunt?" What about in the house?"

"I came here by myself with the girl, and my mother didn't come." Seeing Xing Dequan asking Mrs. Xing, Luochun hurriedly said, "Uncle, I came here at this time to wait for uncle. I have something to say to uncle." "Xing Dequan looked at Luochun with a serious and serious expression on his small face, knowing that she should not be treated as an ordinary child, thought for a while, and ordered the waiter: "Put the lunch between me and Luoer in the study, our grandpa We will eat there in a while."

After Xing Dequan and Luochun came to the study, Luochun didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "Uncle should have heard about our family's affairs, right?" He took out a purse, put it in front of Xing Dequan, and said, "Since my uncle has heard about it, I won't say much. Here is some money. I hope my uncle can help us buy a few coins in the suburbs of Beijing." Mu of land, the amount of land is secondary, the most important thing is to quickly build a house on it. The current Rongguo Mansion is a gift from the emperor. Once the title is gone, the mansion will be taken back. At that time, the whole family will have no place to live, so they can't live on the streets."

Although Xing Dequan heard a lot about the Rongguo Mansion in the yamen, he was a low-ranking official, and the news he heard had been passed on to many hands, so the news was unavoidably distorted, and he had just entered the officialdom not long ago. The twists and turns are not very clear, so I am not very clear about the current situation of the Rongguo Mansion, and what the emperor's attitude is, but seeing Mrs. Xing transfer the dowry first, and now Luochun came to beg him again Helping to buy land and build a house, it seems that the situation is very critical.Although Xing Dequan knew that it is normal to have ups and downs in the officialdom, and even the dynasties change, let alone just one Rongguo Mansion.But Rongguo Mansion left a deep impression on him. Ever since Mrs. Xing married into Rongguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion was like a lofty mountain, pressing on Xing Dequan's head, making him look up.Looking at Mrs. Xing and Luochun's performance now, this mountain seems to be falling down, which made Xing Dequan a little hard to accept, and couldn't help but said: "How did it come to this point, isn't it?"

Luochun smiled, and said: "Just think of me as a rainy day, just in case. If there is nothing wrong, of course it is good, just save a small property and build a Zhuangzi. If there is something wrong, it will come in handy and save money." It's going to be a mess."

"Alright then. I'll help you with this matter later on." Seeing what Luo Chun said, Xing Dequan didn't say anything, and took the purse that Luo Chun handed over.Luochun smiled and said: "Uncle, when you go to buy land and build a house, you'd better show off your official identity. I don't have too many demands on the house, just build it into an ordinary farmyard That’s fine, the house needs to be spacious and big enough for our family to live in.”

Luochun's request is not high, and there is no difficulty, Xing Dequan wholeheartedly agreed.Uncle and nephew had lunch together, Xing Dequan went to the Yamen, Luochun and Pinxiu left Xing's house and returned to the mansion.
