Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

Because Mother Lin was not in Yangzhou, Meng Yan's plan had to be temporarily stopped. Meng Yan thought about this matter, and finally decided to find Mother Lin first.

If there must be someone to expose what Jia Min has done, there is no better candidate for that person except Nanny Lin; neither she nor Mrs. Meng can stand out in this matter.

Although she decided to look for Nanny Lin, Meng Yan didn't plan to look for it by herself, thinking it would be best to find someone she could trust.

Nowadays, there are not many people she can use and trust. Apart from Uncle De, there is really no other person who can do this.Meng Yan couldn't help but sigh, there are still too few people she can use, it seems that training manpower is an imminent matter.

After making up her mind, what Meng Yan has to do now is to think about what to do, how to persuade Lin Nanny and prevent Lin Nanny from doubting her.Meng Yan thought of the jade bracelet and jade pendant she had brought back from Mrs. Lin's room, maybe they could be useful.

Putting the jade bracelet and jade pendant back into the space again, Meng Yan got up to look for Mrs. Meng.

Meng Yan went to the main room to make winter clothes with Mrs. Qin Liu'an and a few girls.

The season has entered the early winter of October. Although Yangzhou belongs to the south of the Yangtze River, the weather has gradually become colder. Perhaps it is because the weather temperature was lower in ancient times. People have begun to put away thinner autumn clothes and put on later winter clothes. Looking at people's clothes at this time, Meng Yan guessed that the temperature in October would be below ten degrees.

Since mid-September, the Meng family has been preparing winter clothes. Most of the clothes of the ancient people were made by themselves, and they rarely bought ready-made clothes outside. Before that, the clothes of Meng Yan and Meng Zhou in the nunnery were also made by the Meng family. The clothes Meng Yan and Meng Zhou made at that time no longer fit.

Children always grow up fast. In half a year, Meng Yan grew a head taller than when he went down the mountain. Meng Zhou is shorter than Meng Yan. Meng Zhou was secretly annoyed for this for a long time, but he was enough for his height. Eat hard and practice martial arts.

Now the family members live a simple and smooth life, and Meng has more leisure time. When she has nothing to do, she spends most of her time embroidering or making clothes except reading a book occasionally.Meng Shi is good at Su embroidery, and her embroidery is extremely beautiful and exquisite. Meng Yan likes the clothes made by Meng Shi very much, and now she is wearing the new clothes made by Meng Shi.

However, the most Meng family makes are Meng Zhou's clothes. Meng Zhou has already gone to Minglu Academy to study. Minglu Academy is outside the city and is still on the mountain. It is much colder there than this city. She is young, and cares more about Meng Zhou than Meng Yan, who is always by her side. The only thing she can do to help Meng Zhou is to make clothes for Meng Zhou. This is also a way for her to express her mother's love.

Seeing Meng Yan entering the house, the Meng family beckoned Meng Yan over.

"Mother, please greet my mother."

"Why did this come here? Did you finish your work at the previous meeting?"

During the day, if Meng Yan was not going out, she was reading in the front yard, except for a lunch break, she rarely went back to the backyard, so it was no wonder that Meng asked her this.

"I'm just reading a book. Mother, why don't you take a rest, if the clothes are not enough for people to buy ready-made clothes in the shop, why bother to embroider them yourself, if it hurts your eyes, it will be bad."

Meng Yan was very worried that Ms. Meng would block her eyes when she embroidered like this. By chance, Meng Yan met a middle-aged woman who was almost blind and knew from other people that her eyes were lost because she relied on embroidery to support her family when she was young. After that, Meng Yan didn't want Meng Shi to embroider frequently, but Meng Shi couldn't stay idle.

"The ones you bought outside are not supposed to be made by your own mother to fit them finely. Your little doll's skin is so delicate that you would be uncomfortable if you dress them finely." Meng did not stop her embroidery work, and advised Meng Yan not to do it. She is completely uncompromising in her life. In her opinion, women should embroider and make clothes.

Meng Yan couldn't help curling her lips secretly in her heart, she is not the princess and pea, so she is not so demanding.But she also knew that it was impossible to persuade the Meng family not to make clothes, so she didn't say anything more after saying a few words. , does she still have business to do?

"Mother, I want to see your jewelry box, show it to me."

"Jewelry box? What do you want to see in that thing?"

Meng's hand paused and the needle in her hand almost pricked her finger. Finally, she stopped her embroidery work and stared at Meng Yan.No wonder Meng was so surprised. Although Meng Yan is a girl, she doesn't like to tie those flower chains on her head like girls in this era. She always has two buns tied with ropes at both ends. The flowers have to be forced by Meng Shi to wear them for a while.

In fact, Meng Yan just didn't like to tie those bright red and purple head flowers on her head; although there are many head ornaments for women in this era, there are very few head ornaments for little girls, except for head flowers and pearl head chains.Thinking of piercing a big flower on her head or winding a few pearl chains, Meng Yan couldn't help but feel chills.

"Mother, didn't you buy a pearl head chain for me last time? I also want to get a jewelry box to put it in, so that it will be easy to find if I accidentally lose it."

"If you want a jewelry box, mother will go out and give you a new one tomorrow. Does mother still have things?"

Meng Shi thought that Meng Yan wanted hers, and if her daughter wanted something else, Meng Shi would never refuse, after all, Meng Yan was not like ordinary children who often asked her for things; it was just that this jewelry box meant a lot to her, it was her The only thing she brought from the Lin Mansion was given to her by Mrs. Lin before she agreed to be a concubine for Mr. Lin, and she always cherished it.

Meng Yan naturally knew about the old lady Lin's gift to Meng's jewelry box, and it was exactly this jewelry box that she had come up with.

"Mother, I just want to take a look and ask Uncle De to find someone to be like mother. Mother, why don't you let me take a look?" Meng Yan coquettishly shook Meng's hand.

"Why do you want to be the same as mother's? Mother's is already old and not comfortable for you to use. Mother will ask Uncle De to find you a new one." From Meng's point of view, children like new ones Things, her boxes are all old in style many years ago, and my daughter may not like it even if she sees them.

"No, I want to be the same as my mother."

Meng Yan is not so easy to dismiss, she has always been unstoppable until she achieves her goal.In the end, the Meng family couldn't bear Meng Yan tormenting her, and took Meng Yan to the inner room to show her the jewelry box.

"Here you are, but you have to look carefully, you must be thinking of this trick."

The jewelry box is engraved with the pattern of more children and more blessings. When Mrs. Lin gave this jewelry box to Meng Shi, she hoped that Meng Family would have more grandchildren for her.This kind of jewelry box is only used by married women, how can unmarried girls and little girls use such a jewelry box.

"Mother, go get busy, I'll take a closer look." Meng Yan held the jewelry box with one hand and pushed Meng Shi out with the other.But holding the jewelry box in her small hands scared Meng Shi quite a bit, and she was afraid that she would accidentally drop it.

"Ouch, be careful, hold on tight, don't fall."

"I know, I know, I will be careful, mother, I am not a child."

Meng Yan yelled impatiently.The Meng family was made helpless by Meng Yan's small appearance and couldn't help laughing, she nudged Meng Yan's small head with her fingers and said.

"Aren't you just a kid?"

"Okay, okay, mother, I understand, I must be careful not to damage your baby, okay. Go out and embroider quickly." What will I do if you don't go out.

"Then be careful, don't drop it, mother's jewelry is inside, if you drop it, it will be broken."

"Understood..." Meng Yan looked impatient, as if I would get angry if you said it again, Meng Shi didn't turn around and go out when she saw her like that.

After Meng Shi went out, Meng Yan hugged the box and climbed onto Meng Shi's bed, and she took out all the things in the jewelry box.The Meng family doesn't have much jewelry, except for the few pieces that were pawned from the Lin Mansion back then, the rest of the dozen or so pieces were all bought by Meng Yan after she went down the mountain.

What Meng Yan cares about is not these jewelry but this jewelry box. When she watched TV in her previous life, she had seen many jewelry boxes of women from rich families with hidden compartments. She didn’t know this jewelry box that Mrs. Lin gave Meng Is there a dark room?

Turning the jewelry box upside down, shaking it from side to side, pressing, pulling, pushing and twisting, she wanted to dismantle the jewelry box. Just when the jewelry box was about to be scattered by her, Meng Yan finally found the dark hole at the bottom of the box. Court.

It turns out that there is an inconspicuous protrusion at the bottom corner of the box, which can open the hidden cabinet by pressing lightly and turning left and right.

There is a dark pavilion that just confirmed Meng Yan's thoughts. Mrs. Lin would not give Meng Shi a jewelry box for no reason. You must know that when Mrs. Lin gave Meng Shi a jewelry box, the jewelry box was empty.Now it seems that Mrs. Lin obviously has other intentions, it's just that Mrs. Meng put the jewelry on it without looking at it carefully.

Meng Yan opened the secret cabinet and saw a few thin papers hidden inside, and when she took it out, it turned out to be land deeds and house deeds, two villages and two shops; it seems that Mrs. Lin pressed Meng's body, It's just that Meng's mind was pure and didn't think of the purpose of Mrs. Lin's jewelry box; of course, Meng Yan didn't think of this before.

Meng Yan was in a good mood looking at the two land deeds and the two house deeds. With these two villages and two shops, their family's property increased a lot.However, Meng Yan was not in a hurry to give the land deed and house deed to Meng, but put the land deed and house deed back; then she took out the jade bracelet and jade pendant that were in the space, wrapped them in silk and put them in the secret cabinet Here, after checking carefully to make sure there was nothing missing, Meng Yan feigned surprise and exclaimed.

"oops!"

Meng Shi, who was outside, heard the voice and rushed in, and asked in a panic: "What's the matter? Yan'er, what happened?"

"Mother, come here quickly, come here and see what this is?"

Meng Yan held up the jewelry box to Meng Shi, and Meng Shi could easily see the open secret cabinet at the bottom of the box, and she couldn't help being startled.

"Hey, what's going on here? How could anyone do it?"

"Mother, there is a secret cabinet in your box, is there anything else in it?"

"This, this..." Meng took the jewelry box in a hurry and took a closer look, then took out the contents and took a look. When she saw it clearly, she couldn't help crying, obviously thinking of Mrs. Lin.

Next, Meng Yan comforted Meng Shi who was so sad and missed the past, and then pretended to ask her curiously. Meng Shi was in a bad mood and didn't want to say more, Meng Yan didn't argue or force her.

Mrs. Meng did not doubt Meng Yan, after all, the jade bracelet and jade pendant were priceless items, she didn't think Meng Yan would be able to take them out as a child.

After a few days, Meng's mood improved, so Meng Yan tried every means to get a jade bracelet from Meng's Ruanmoyingpao, saying that she would take it for a while and return it to Meng's in a few days.The Meng family knew Meng Yan's temperament, but she couldn't help but give it to her.

After Meng Yan got the bracelet, she immediately went to Uncle De, gave the bracelet to Uncle De, and told Uncle De in detail about everything about the Lin family in Suzhou, and asked him to go to Suzhou to find someone.

"Uncle De, you just need to show this bracelet to Nanny Lin, and then give her this letter and tell her that it was given to her by a woman surnamed Meng. She will naturally know what's going on, and you don't have to do anything else." Say more."

"Miss, is this?" What is the relationship between Miss and Lin Fu?And Suzhou Lin's family, how come?

"Uncle De, you will know in the future. If Nanny Lin asks you to bring her, you will push her away; and this bracelet must be brought intact."
