Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

"what……"

The scream of fear pierced the peaceful night of the Lin residence. Lin Ruhai, who was sleeping next to Jia Min, was frightened and sat up suddenly. Lin Ruhai, who was still in shock, heard the sound and saw Jia Min closed his eyes and kept slapping and kicking his limbs. The mouth kept screaming.Lin Ruhai hurriedly pressed Jia Min hard, and kept calling Jia Min to try to wake her up.

It was not only Lin Ruhai who was in the room who was awakened, but also the servant girl who was watching the night in the other room.Bi Liu, who was watching the night in the other room, heard Jia Min's scream and hurried into the room to light a candle. The whole room was lit up immediately. Through the screen, he heard Lin Ruhai's voice calling Jia Min, but Bi Liu didn't hear the order. Dare to go in.

"Min'er?"

"Min'er, wake up..."

I don’t know if it’s because Jia Min fell into a dream too deeply and Lin Ruhai couldn’t wake her up. She was so flustered and nervous that Lin Ruhai raised her hand and slapped Jia Min’s face hard. With a scream, Jia Min finally woke up. The candlelight that rushed into the inner room stimulated Jia Min's eyes and woke her up completely.

"Master?" Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai with red eyes and tears, because he was afraid that he grabbed Lin Ruhai's arm with both hands, and seemed to feel Jia Min's fear that Lin Ruhai hurriedly wrapped her in his arms to comfort her.

"It's okay, you're having a nightmare again, just wake up."

"master……"

Hearing Jia Min's voice, Lin Ruhai saw Jia Min with a pale face holding his stomach and calling the child: "My child, my child..."

Lin Ruhai quickly lifted the quilt and saw that Jia Min's obscene trousers had been dyed red, and with a bang, Lin Ruhai's mind exploded, nervously afraid that Lin Ruhai shouted outside: "Call the doctor, hurry up and invite the doctor. "

That night, the Lin Mansion was in a state of panic, and Meng Yan, the Meng family who was across the street from the back of the Lin Mansion, returned home at night; she lightly jumped off the roof, and quietly returned to her bedroom without disturbing the vigil. red silk.

She took off her night clothes and put it into the space, then lay down and fell asleep, but she was woken up before she felt sleepy for a while, and when she opened her eyes, it was already dawn.Thinking that today is the day to send Meng Zhou to study at Minglu Academy, and she still has things to arrange, and if she wants to sleep in, Meng Yan rubbed her eyes and sat up, waved two scrolls and a chess set, and came out with a cup Tea appeared on the bed.

Meng Yan opened the scrolls and checked them one by one, and was relieved after confirming that there was nothing wrong.Except that the chess is made by herself, the other three items cost her two 200-person pairs, a hundred-year-old ginseng talent and a lot of medicines she made in exchange.She said earlier that she would borrow it, but she couldn't take other people's things in vain.

Fortunately, this collection of books and paintings saved her a lot of trouble, otherwise it would be really difficult for her to get these things together in a few days; and it just so happened that the son of the family who collected them was seriously ill, and she The ginseng and medicine left behind could save the life of the son-in-law, so she didn't have to feel ashamed if it paid off.This tea was obtained from a salt merchant. It is known that it is this year's tribute tea and tribute buds. She feels that it is a loss to exchange a century-old ginseng for this tea.Looking at the teacup containing tea, Meng Yan thought for a while and took out a jade cup from the space to replace the wooden cup.

Pack the things again and put them in the small box brought back from the outside yesterday. This box was prepared by Meng Yan in advance.After putting the things away, Meng Yan lay back on the bed before calling Hongxiao.

"Red silk."

"Miss, are you awake?"

"Well, come in and wait."

"Yes." Hongxiao led two maidservants in with washing hands, and the maidservants carefully and carefully waited for Meng Yan to wash and change clothes.

"Madam and young master are you together?" Meng Yan asked someone to carry the box to the front yard, and asked Hongxiao as she walked.

"Qing Ya just went back and forth, Madam and Young Master are already in the front yard."

"Ah."

Meng Yan went to the front yard, and sure enough, Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Meng had already arrived. After greeting Mrs. Meng, they had breakfast together.After breakfast, Mrs. Meng went back to change clothes, while Meng Yan and Meng Zhou went to the study together.

Meng Yan put the box on the desk and advised Meng Zhou to open it.

"What is it?"

Although Meng Zhou was puzzled, he opened it according to his words, and saw the scroll, chessboard and jade cup inside. Meng Zhou took out the scroll and opened it. The eye-catching blood-red seal on the scroll caught his eyes, and he was shocked when he saw it clearly.

"This, this is?"

How could this be possible, this turned out to be Yan Gong's handwriting, and what he was holding was actually Yan Gong's handwriting, Meng Zhou was so shocked and excited that he couldn't speak.

"Here is a teacher apprentice ceremony for you! In addition to this book, there are paintings, chess, and tea, which are all things that Duke Yan likes. There is only so much I can do for you. Can you be admitted to the academy by Duke Yan?" It's up to you."

Compared to Meng Zhou's excitement, Meng Yan was indifferent, but she was already excited.

Meng Zhou didn't listen to Meng Yan's words at all. He read the calligraphy in a hurry and then looked at the scroll. He was shocked again. Meng Yan didn't bother Meng Zhou to appreciate the calligraphy and painting; If it's not coming, let him take a few more glances now, as for the commanded words, just give them another command before going out.

Before Meng Zhou had time to reward him, Mrs. Meng had already changed his clothes and came out to be urged.

Before Meng Yan sent Meng Shi and Meng Zhou to the car, she did not forget to tell Meng Zhou again and again, and she also asked Uncle De to take care of Xu Xu and Meng Zhou waited for half an hour to set off.

Meng Yan kept watching until the shadow of the car disappeared before returning home, but she began to worry in her heart. She secretly prayed in her heart that Meng Zhou could get what she wanted.

Meng Zhou asked Meng Yan to go with her before, but Meng Yan didn't want to go; in this era, women are more restrained, she is not a person with a good name, and she doesn't need a good name to bless herself.

Her identity also determines that it is best for her to be low and unobtrusive.

Now she goes out to do business and take care of common affairs because she really has no other way to do it. Maybe she can hide after returning to the Lin Mansion so that she can spend more time on cultivation.

Maybe she and Meng Zhou will be able to return to the Lin Mansion in the near future. By then, she will be the daughter of the Lin Mansion, and she doesn't need these unwarranted reputations to bless her. Unless she wants to attract the royal family's attention, otherwise, it is unnecessary to have a good reputation. .

Lin's family was a scholarly family from generation to generation, and the noble background was not comparable to that of the Jia family, and she was not as fond of spreading her reputation as the Jia family.

It is also because of her cultivation that she does not want to attract attention, so she wants to keep a low profile, which is also the reason why she did not directly deal with outside business. It is not a favorable agreement to promise Meng's not to show her face.

Meng Yan, who wanted to save trouble and didn't want to be famous, didn't know that she asked Meng Zhou to study at Minglu Academy, which not only exposed her identity, but also caused her a lifetime of trouble.

The Meng family took Meng Zhou to Minglu Academy, and presented the letter of worship and the recommendation letter prepared by Meng Yan to see Master Yan. It happened that Master Yan who was at home met and tested Meng Zhou in person.

Although Meng Zhou is young, the accumulation of the two generations and Meng Yan's intentional training of Meng Zhou are not like ordinary children. Master Yan seems to deliberately make things difficult for Meng Zhou. The questions he tested are not only "Three Character Classics" and "Thousand Characters" that ordinary enlightening children learn. Wen" is more difficult knowledge from "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" to "Book of Songs", poems, Four Books and Five Classics, Stereotyped Essay, and Policy Theory.

It is impossible for a five- or six-year-old child who has just been enlightened to answer those stereotyped essays that at least have to be learned by a scholar; fortunately, Meng Zhou is clever, and when Master Yan asked the Four Books and Five Classics, he was barely half right. A few half-wrong answers, involving stereotyped essays and policy theory, he directly pretended not to know.

If a five or six-year-old child can discuss stereotyped essays and policy theory, unless he is a child prodigy, it is absolutely impossible;

However, in Master Yan's opinion, it is extremely rare for Meng Zhou to be able to read the Four Books and Five Classics at such a young age. The answer satisfied Master Yan, and finally Master Yu Yan agreed to accept Meng Zhou to study in Minglu Academy.

"Not bad, not bad." Master Yan finally showed a satisfied smile, and Meng Zhou was so excited that he saluted again: "Thank you, Lord Yan, for your teaching."

"Just wait, I'll have someone take you to register at the Recording Academy." Master Yan ordered the little boy who was waiting beside him to find his disciples, and Meng Zhou took the opportunity to tell about the gift he brought.

"The eldest sister of the disciple has prepared a small gift for the disciple, please don't dislike it, Duke Yan."

"It's enough for you to have this intention."

Academy students often give gifts during the academy students’ festival. Master Yan also thought that Meng Zhou’s gifts were the same as those given by academy students. Master Yan was even more surprised when he saw Meng Zhou’s salute, and then he was more happy. Immediately opened it and admired it, even Meng Zhou, who was still standing and sitting down, forgot.

But Meng Zhou didn't care. The more Master Yan liked these salutes, the happier he was, which meant that he had a better chance of worshiping teachers in the future.Meng Zhou didn't disturb Master Yan's appreciation of calligraphy and painting, and when Master Yan's disciples came, he went to the Record Academy to register with him.

It was already past noon when all the procedures were completed, thinking about going back to Chou Mengzhou, he didn't dare to delay, so he hurried to pick up Mrs. Meng.Because Ms. Meng was a female family member, Mrs. Meng was invited to the backyard to accompany Mrs. Yan after Meng Zhou went to meet Master Yan.

Because Meng Zhou was not yet seven years old, he didn't have to worry about men and women. He was taken to the backyard by the maid, and Meng Zhou took Mrs. Meng away after paying his respects to the old lady Yan.

"Old lady, it's getting late and I'm leaving."

"It's getting late, but you are still going back to the city?" Mrs. Yan is also from a scholarly family. She is a very kind old man, and she likes the gentle and generous Meng family. The old lady was also very happy to hear what happened in Yangzhou city.

"Exactly."

"Then it's really getting late, you should go back earlier, Wanniang, come and chat with the old lady when you have time."

"When I have spare time, my concubine will come to disturb the old lady."

"Old lady, Master Sun is here."

Just when Mrs. Meng was about to take Meng Zhou out, a maid rushed in excitedly to spread the word. Mrs. Meng and Meng Zhou didn't dare to stay any longer and hurriedly followed the maid.After leaving the backyard, the mother and son passed by the oncoming boy, who suddenly stopped after seeing Meng Zhou.The young man looked back at the Meng mother and son who had gone away suspiciously. The child just now looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.He asked the maid beside him.

"Who is it?"

"Returning to Young Master Sun, it's the old man's new student."

"Master, do you want your slaves to investigate?" asked the servant who was following him.

"No hurry, go see grandma first."

Seeing the young man, the old lady Yan was so excited, hugged him and rubbed his heart and meat, crying non-stop: "Oh, my Cheng Ze, I really miss my grandmother."
