Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

The Meng family's mother and son didn't know what happened in Yangzhou, because the mother and son were already on the boat to the capital; but even if they knew, they couldn't do anything for the time being.Although she left Yangzhou, Meng Yan still ordered people to pay close attention to the affairs of the Lin family. Of course, it was not only Meng Yan who ordered the Meng family to leave, but also the news that they were on the boat in Yangzhou did not reach them so quickly. .

Meng Yan has always been by Meng's side. When Meng was in the Lin Mansion, Meng Yan only saw Meng taking precautions against Jia Min and never saw Meng take action. Until this time, seeing Meng's plan, Meng Yan knew It turned out that Baozi Niangqin, who she thought was soft-hearted, was actually a scheming person.

Ever since Meng Shi figured it out and took over the matter from Meng Yan's hands, she has really come from the past. Now she does not need Meng Yan to persuade Meng Shi to actively plan, just like these things about going to Beijing.

Although the family background of the Meng family is not as good as that of Jia Min, who was born in the Duke's Mansion, she is also from a scholarly family, and she is the only daughter in the family. She has been carefully raised by her grandmother and mother since she was a child. When he was seriously ill, he supported selling his property to seek medical treatment.

It's just that she was young and had no experience as a housekeeper, and when she was in her mother's house, the house was clean and she had never been in contact with the struggle in the back house. Jia Min married into the Lin family for more than ten years, and she was deeply rooted in the Lin family. She only entered the Lin family for half a year. The Meng family is no match for Jia Min, so it is not surprising that they were defeated by Jia Min.

Before, Meng Yan had been worried that even if Meng Shi said she would take over Meng Yan, she did not let go completely. It was not until this time that she saw Meng Yan's clean and tidy Meng Yan; Feeling a rare relief once, she decided to let go of it, and it was all up to Meng Shi herself to do what she wanted, and let her make troubles; unless necessary, Meng Yan decided to be a child seriously in the future.

Sitting by the window, Meng Yan looked at the slowly receding river and the falling snowflakes. She was in a rare good mood, because just the night before yesterday, her cultivation level had broken through the fourth level of Qi Refining and advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining. , the improvement of cultivation base is also Meng Yan's decision to let go of those things and concentrate on cultivation.But she can't completely let go of the current situation, she can only take it step by step.

"Miss, you have been sitting here for a long time. If the wind and cold outside make you feel cold, it will be bad. Let the servants close the windows."

Hong Kao came in with ginger tea and saw Meng Yan sitting by the window just like when she left, worrying endlessly, seeing that Meng Yan didn't move, she persuaded again: "Miss, madam asked someone to make ginger tea and let the servants bring it, saying it was heaven Han Yi asked the young lady to drink to warm her body, the lady is very concerned about the young lady, so you should drink it quickly so that the lady does not worry..."

"Okay, stop nagging, I'll just drink."

Hongxiao kept talking non-stop, Meng Yan was really afraid of her.She is already at the fifth level of Qi Refining and has spiritual power to protect her body. The cold wind in the world can't hurt at all, but thinking of Meng's mother who is too worried, Meng Yan resigned to her fate and drank the ginger tea she hated in one gulp. , and handed the bowl to Hong Kao.

"What are the madam and the young master doing?"

"The maidservant just came from the kitchen. Madam has brought ginger tea to the young master. I heard that the young master has been reading in the room."

Their young master is really hardworking, self-disciplined and very smart. It is amazing to be able to study at Minglu Academy at such a young age, whether in the mansion or on a boat. High official.

Honghao adored Meng Zhou with an excited expression on her face, and Meng Yan couldn't help but see Honghao's inexplicable emotional agitation, but thinking that Honghao was only a *year-old girl, it's normal to have wild thoughts.Meng Yan didn't bother to talk to Hongxiao when she got up and was about to go out, Honghao hurried to follow.

"Where are you going, miss?"

"Go and see Meng Zhouna, oh, by the way, go get the account books I put on the case." After speaking, he went straight out.

Meng Yan intends to hand over the Zhuangzi and the shop to the Meng family. Anyway, the Meng family is already in charge of the two Zhuangzi and the two shops sent by Mrs. Lin. She can still be busy if she wants to come.

As soon as he approached Meng Zhou's room, he heard the sound of Meng Zhou's endorsement. When Meng Yan walked in, he saw Mrs. Meng holding a book for Meng Zhou to endorse. Meng Yan didn't interrupt the mother and son, but found a seat and sat down first.The two sons were extremely serious about taking the test and pain, and they didn't find out that Meng Yan was there until Meng Zhou finished memorizing the book.

"When did Yan'er come here, did you drink the ginger tea that mother asked Hongxiao to send?"

"I've already drank it." Meng Yan rejoiced in her heart. Fortunately, she held back her drink or she would be nagged again. Meng Zhou obviously knew Meng Yan. .

"Mother, I have sorted out the account books of my family's two villages and the perfume shop. Mother, please take them back and have a look, and ask me if you don't understand." Meng Yan indicated to Hongxiao to hand over the account books to Qin Liu, seeing Qin Liu taking over, Meng Yan couldn't help but think that she had finally let go.

"You take good care of Zhuangzi and the shop. Whatever you do for mother, you continue to take care of it."

Both the shop and the Zhuangzi were bought by the daughter with her own money. The Meng family never thought of taking over these properties from her daughter. It is the daughter's dowry that the daughter takes away.

"Mother, aren't you already in charge of the Zhuangzi and the shop? It would not be a big deal to have two more. Besides, your daughter is still so young, are you willing to let her take care of these things?"

Meng Yan looked at Meng Shi pitifully with blinking eyes, and sure enough, she saw that the little man's daughter, Meng Shi, could no longer say no. Not only that, she felt even more guilty, thinking that these days her daughter was supporting the family, Meng Shi suddenly felt ashamed.

Over there, Meng Zhou saw that Meng Yan had let go of the common affairs and wanted to hand over the bookstore to the Meng family. Only after running the shop did he know that this is not an easy task. He is really not interested in these things. If Meng Yan didn't force him He has already let go; now he just wants to squeeze out more time to study, and it would be great if his mother could take it over.

"Mother, my bookstore..."

Meng Zhou was interrupted by Meng Yan before he finished speaking: "Brother, you promised me to take care of it yourself, don't you want to go back on your word, don't forget your pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

Want to shake hands, dream!Don't think she doesn't know that he doesn't care about managing the bookstore for three days, fishing for two days and drying the nets for two days. If it wasn't for her to help him look after the time, the shop might have lost money.It was for his own benefit that she forced him to manage the shop. He said that he wanted to change it several times, but he didn't change it.

Every time she forced her to go back and forget about it sooner or later, Meng Yan was really worried for him, and sooner or later he would suffer a loss if he was an official and could not understand common affairs.It seems that she can no longer help him with the bookstore.

Meng Zhou was secretly threatened by Meng Yan and did not dare to mention it again. Seeing the two children fighting, Meng Zhou just smiled and kept silent.

The ship was being built in Tongzhou, and Meng Yan and the three did not disembark immediately. Mrs. Meng first ordered Uncle De to get off the ship to prepare a carriage, and the mother and son waited in the carriage.

"Mother, are we going to stay at the inn first?"

Standing on the deck and watching the endless stream of people coming and going on the shore, Meng Zhou couldn't help worrying whether so many of them could find an inn to live in.Meng Yan and Mrs. Meng had told Meng Zhou about why they went to Beijing before they came. Meng Zhou also knew that his mother was going to take them to seek refuge with his aunt, but he hadn't contacted her for many years. If they fail to recognize their relatives, and there is no inn to live in, wouldn't they be living on the streets.

Because in the previous life, the experience of losing money, living in a ruined temple and suffering from hunger and cold was so impressive that Meng Zhou still shudders when he thinks about it, and he is really willing to experience it again.

"Your aunt and great-grandfather's mother-in-law haven't been in touch for many years. It's too bad to rush to the door. Let's settle down at the inn first, and then go after handing over the post."

Looking at the busy crowd, Ms. Meng couldn't help feeling nostalgic. She only came to the capital once. That was when her parents took her to Beijing to celebrate her grandfather's [-]th birthday when she was ten years old. crowd.More than ten years passed in a blink of an eye, and I didn't expect that when I came to the capital again, things were already different.

"But it's very busy this year, does the inn still have enough rooms?"

"Mother has told Uncle De to send someone to book a room, so don't worry about Zhou'er."

Although Meng said that, she was as worried as Meng Zhou. Meng Yan saw that they were so worried, so she gave up the idea of ​​surprising them and told them that she had already asked someone to buy a yard in the capital.

"Mother, brother, you don't have to worry. Earlier, I had someone buy a three-entry yard in the city. Someone has been taking care of the yard. We can live directly without going to an inn."

"When did you buy the house?" Mrs. Meng looked at Meng Yan in astonishment.

"After my brother entered Minglu Academy, I asked Uncle De to send someone to buy a house in Beijing. I originally wanted to live in it when my brother went to Beijing to catch the exam in the future. I didn't expect to use it like this."

Knowing that the Meng family still has relatives like the Zhang family and the Zhang family, when she planned to return to the Lin Mansion, she had already planned to escape to Beijing in the future, so she had asked people to buy a house in Beijing, of course, it was also because of Meng Zhou. one.

After being shocked by Meng Yan's words, Meng was even more ashamed. She never thought that Yan'er could think so far. She is really a failed mother who let her young child plan so much by herself.

Compared to Meng's shock and shame, Meng Zhou was very moved, and moved by Meng Yan's heart.

"Mother, the carriage has arrived, let's get off the boat quickly." Seeing Uncle De get off the carriage, Meng Yan asked Hong Xiao to help him get off the boat.

It only took four carriages for people to salute, and it took nearly an hour to start at the pier. When the carriage entered the city, Meng Yan couldn't help but lift the curtain to look at the popular street outside when she heard the cries of popular sales outside the carriage.

"Mother, this capital city is really lively, even more lively than Yangzhou City..." Although I have seen the prosperity of Yangzhou City, it is not worth mentioning compared to the capital city. like a city.

"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen such a bustling city." Meng Zhou also joined Meng Yan's side.

"Hurry up and put down the curtain, the cold wind is coming in." Meng patted Meng Yan's little hand that lifted the curtain, and held it in his palm to warm Meng Yan: "This capital is lively every day, if you want to go shopping, wait until we settle down, mother." Let Uncle De take you out, now let's go to the house and settle down first."

Meng Yan and Meng Zhou also felt that Meng's words were reasonable and they didn't read any more. They chatted in the car. Meng Yan and Meng Zhou were looking forward to the house in the capital.

After the carriage entered the city, it circled more than half of the city and finally stopped. Uncle De personally stepped forward to ask the mother and son to get off the carriage.

"Madam, young master, the lady has arrived, please get off."
