Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

After the three men, Meng and Yan, stayed in the Zhou Mansion for a while, Mrs. Zhang treated the mother and son very well, as if to make up for the guilt in her heart. A lot of jewelry.Although Meng Yan and the others don't lack these things now, they can't refuse them due to Zhang's wishes, so they have to accept them.

Of course, several generations of the Zhou family are not bad at managing these things. In addition, Mrs. Zhang has a good business management and her own generous character, so she is extremely generous to the three of Meng and Yan. The Ms. Meng did it after confirming that the people of the Zhou family did not object. accept.

Because of Zhang's sincere treatment of Meng Yan and the three of them, Meng Yan, who had always been on guard, slowly accepted her and her family.It was rare for Meng Yan to relax and play with Zhou Muyun during the few days she lived in the Zhou Mansion; although they often played childish toys and games, Meng Yan, who had never played ancient toys and games, was very happy.

In fact, no matter whether it was the previous life or the present life, Meng Yan didn't play much when she was a child; in the previous life, she started to learn various talents since she was five years old, and in this life, she has been learning and planning since she was born, and she has no chance to play.

Time passed quickly and they had already lived in Zhou Mansion for three days. Meng Zhou was like a duck to water these few days. He discussed knowledge, recited poems and painted paintings with Zhou Mujin every day.Meng Yan is not interested in these things. Although she has read a lot of ancient poetry collections, Meng Yan's talent in poetry has not been improved because of the many books she read; it can be said that Meng Yan's worst thing is poetry. , As for the other Meng Yan, she is not the temperament that loves to show off, she is based on the principle of being low-key when she can keep a low profile.

So when Meng Zhou and Zhou Mujin went to reciting poems and painting, Meng Yan was playing rope with Zhou Muyun, which she knew a long time ago but was the first game she played in two lifetimes.Meng Yan spread her ten fingers, and the red rope was wrapped around her thumb, index finger and little finger. Then, she looked at Zhou Muyun's fingers in different shapes, and she tended to get dizzy the more she looked at them.

"Cousin, do you understand?" Zhou Muyun twisted out a complicated shape for Meng Yan to see.

Meng Yan shook her head, and Meng Yan said with some frustration: "I didn't understand, I just saw your fingers move around and that's it."

"Ah, why didn't you understand it so simple, cousin?" Zhou Muyun was anxious.

"I don't know how to do this. Let's play with other things. How can we play bunny stacking?" Miao Jing taught her bunny stacking when she was in Miaoyue Nunnery. There are not only bunny stacks but also all kinds of flowers. Meng Yan was also very impressed at the beginning. Interesting, thinking that a little doll like Zhou Muyun should also like it.

Sure enough, Zhou Muyun's big eyes stared at Meng Yan brightly: "Rabbit, cousin, do you know how to fold rabbits? Come on, let me see, I like rabbits."

"Okay, take two veils and let me teach you."

"Quick, bring the handkerchiefs quickly." Zhou Muyun yelled at the maidservant, and soon the maidservant brought some handkerchiefs over, Meng Yan took the handkerchiefs and quickly folded out a rabbit.

"Wow, it's so pretty. I like it. Give this to me." Zhou Muyun grabbed it and hugged it in her arms. When she saw Meng Yan picking up another handkerchief, she quickly brought another one: "Cousin teach me to fold, teach me quickly." .”

"Okay, you have a good look, first this...then this..."

One of the two little dolls taught and the other learned. The maid watched the excitement and also took out her handkerchief to follow suit. It was a lot of fun when they got together.Meng Shi and Zhang Shi sat aside chatting and watched the children play and felt lively.

"Thanks to niece Yun playing with Yan'er, Yan'er is quiet on weekdays, and now she looks like a child when she plays." Meng's heart is even more relieved to see Meng Yan's childish side, her daughter finally looks like a child That's it.

"On weekdays, Yun'er doesn't have any companions, and Yan'er is so happy when she is with her. Before you return to Yangzhou, the few children who lived in the mansion are good to have companions." Looking at the lively and lovely granddaughter, Mrs. Zhang was even happier.

"How does this work?"

"Why not? When you first came to Beijing, you are not familiar with Beijing and China. It would be more inconvenient to live outside than living in the mansion. Besides, you have two children with you and you have to think about them."

"We don't know when we will be able to return to Yangzhou. If it's just a day or two, we can't keep bothering you, auntie." Meng's nature is pure and kind, so she doesn't want to keep bothering others, even Zhang's aunt.

"I'm your aunt, how can this be troublesome?" Mrs. Zhang was not satisfied, but when she heard Mrs. Meng mention the matter of going back to Yangzhou, she remembered that she almost forgot about it: "By the way, Wanniang, your other... Jia I asked someone to inquire about the family's affairs, and yesterday Yangzhou sent two large carts of annual gifts to Jia's family... Hehe, that old woman of the Jia Shi family really knows how to raise her daughter."

When Jia Shi's daughter married, she moved her husband's things back to her mother's family. How many daughters like this would not be distributed by her mother's house; Zhang couldn't help being sarcastic.

Out of anger, Jia Min murdered the Meng family and the Zhang family, but used a lot of connections to investigate the affairs of the Jia family.Mrs. Zhang not only checked by herself, but also sent someone to send a letter back to her mother's house to ask the old lady of Zhang's family to help with the investigation; in less than two days, many things in Jia's mansion were found out, including the case of Jia Min mentioned by Mrs. Meng. Pay special attention, so every time Jia Min gave gifts to her natal family, the matter of how many cars was brought out; of course, there are secrets in Xu Jia's house, but Zhang's scruples about the child did not mention it here.

Meng is not stupid and naturally knows that Jia Min's actions are criticized by others, but she is not the mistress of the Lin family, and she has no right to say anything even if she is not the Lin family.

"What do you think about the Lin Mansion?"

"I don't know either. Let's have a look first. Besides, we've been away for so many years, so it doesn't matter much sooner or later." She doesn't care, but she still has two children, so she has to think about them.The Meng family didn't forget what Meng Yan said that she didn't want to be a concubine daughter. It was precisely because of Meng Yan's words that the Meng family gave up the idea of ​​returning to the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou and took the child to Beijing.

"Wanniang, you have to think about your children. Yan'er and Zhou'er are still young, and it will take many years until they grow up. Children always need their father's love and care; besides, Zhou'er will go into official career in the future, even though your uncle and uncle Help with my cousins, but if I can get the contacts of the Lin family, Zhou'er can go on a better and higher road in the future; and Yan'er, Lin Ruhai can also choose a good family in the future; Wan Niang Even if you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about the future of your children.”

"Auntie, I also understand what you said, but I can go back to the Lin Mansion if I want to. The Jia family couldn't tolerate me at the beginning. Now that I have two children, it is even more impossible for her to tolerate me. Her methods... ...I dare not risk my child. And I also asked Zhouer and Yaner, and they don't want to go back now."

Hearing Mrs. Zhang's words, Ms. Meng's heart was actually a little shaken. It is good for the child to have a father's love, but returning to Lin's mansion may have unexpected dangers; so she is not sure whether to go back now; it's just that she has already got the support from Yangzhou. According to the news from the side, it might be bad for Jia Min; since she has been waiting for so many years, she is not afraid of waiting a little longer. of.

"Forget it, think about it yourself, and tell your aunt after you've figured out what to do. Don't be afraid if you have an aunt. Auntie will definitely not let that Mrs. Jia bully your mother and son again."

"Aunt." Meng's eyes turned red with gratitude.

"Okay, okay, I'm already a mother and wipe away my tears." Mrs. Zhang patted Mrs. Meng's hand to comfort her, "You go back to rest early today, your grandfather's family has sent a message, your grandfather Come back tomorrow and your three uncles will also be at home tomorrow, let me take your mother and son there tomorrow."

That night Meng called the two children together to discuss the matter of Yangzhou again.

"Of course we can't go back now." Meng Yan first objected, she spent so much effort to plot against Jia Min, wouldn't it be a waste of time to go back now.But Meng Zhou didn't know about these things, and Meng Yan didn't intend to let Meng Zhou know that she had schemed against Jia Min.

"Zhou'er, what about you? Do you want to..." Mrs. Meng glanced at Meng Yan and continued to ask Meng Zhou, but Meng Yan interrupted her in the middle of speaking.

"Mother, I will never agree, and neither will Meng Zhou."

"Yan'er, I'm asking about Meng Zhou."

It is rare for Meng Shi to stare at Meng Yan severely. Although she has already made up her mind, her aunt's words today have shaken her unsteady heart. She needs the support of her children to strengthen her decision.Meng Shi is not an indecisive person, but she always hesitates when facing matters related to children.

"Mother, my sister and I think the same way." Hearing Meng Zhou's words, Meng Yan lowered her head and smiled. Besides, if he had the opportunity in this life, how could he be willing to be a bastard again.

After a while of silence, Meng Yan asked Meng Shi.

"Mother, did Uncle De send a message this morning? Is there any news from Yangzhou?"

In fact, Meng Yan had long heard the news from Yangzhou that Jia Min had another tire gas and almost failed to keep the baby, and now he could only lie in bed until the delivery, but Meng Yan didn't want Meng Shi to know that she knew the news, she didn't want Meng Shi Feeling that he was going back on his word, he promised to let the Meng family take over and then intervene.

There is Nanny Lin in the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou. With Nanny Lin's loyalty to the old lady, she will never make it easier for Jia Min. Even if she can't do anything to Jia Min right away, she can still deal with Jia Min, right?Isn't it the best proof that Jia Min is lying on the bed now.

"Yes, there is news from Yangzhou, but you don't have to think too much about these things, my mother will handle them." After finishing speaking, he looked at the Western clock and saw that it was getting late and sent the two of them to sleep: "Okay, Go to bed earlier, mother will take you to your great-grandfather's house tomorrow."

"It's mother, good night, mother."

Meng didn't ask Meng Yan, and she didn't have to ask, anyway, she already knew; the siblings said good night to Meng and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Meng personally picked out clothes for Meng Zhou and Meng Yan. Both siblings put on the new clothes that Mrs. Zhang made for them. They were all festive red jackets. Seeing each other, both of them smiled helplessly.

Although Zhou Mansion and Zhang Mansion are both in the east of the capital, it took an entire hour to take a carriage from Zhou Mansion to Zhang Mansion. Of course, it was mainly because of the support from the streets.This time, the Zhang family only brought Zhou Muyun and Zhou Muxuan with them when they went to Zhang's mansion. Obviously, they should come to Zhang's mansion often. After entering Zhang's mansion, they chatted and chatted all the way without any strangeness.Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Meng walked in front side by side and talked while talking, Meng Yan and Meng Zhou felt a lot less uneasy when they were dragged by their siblings to talk.

Mrs. Zhang went straight to Mrs. Zhang's courtyard, and before entering the house, Mrs. Zhang rushed to the house and shouted: "Mother, I will bring your grandson, great grandson, and great grandson to greet you!"

There was still a tough voice from inside the room: "It's Hui Niang, come in quickly."
