Little Fujin

The wind picked up at night, and it didn't take long for it to snow.Lin Ruan lay at the window and watched, the snow was flying under the street lamps, it was so beautiful.

Zhan Xi came out of the bathroom and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Sir, it's snowing outside."

Zhan Xi walked to the bed and said, "It snows every year in Sijiu City, what's so strange about it?"

Lin Ruan touched her nose, closed the window, and drew the curtains.Once the thick curtains were drawn, the light outside could not come in at all, and even the cold wind seemed to be less.

Zhan Xi waved at Lin Ruan, and Lin Ruan obediently walked to Zhan Xi and knelt down in front of Zhan Xi.

Zhan Xi touched Lin Ruan's face, feeling a little chilled by the wind.

"How long is the school holiday?"

Lin Ruan thought for a while, "It's about a month away."

Zhan Xi responded casually, and said: "Tomorrow I will tell Uncle Tong that I will change rooms for you."

"Change the house?" Lin Ruan said, "Why?"

"No reason," Zhan Xi said, "The room downstairs is too small."

It seems that people like Zhanxi, who come from a large courtyard house, like spacious rooms. Zhanxi's room on the second floor was refurbished by connecting two rooms.Even so, Tong Bo often complained that the Lan mansion did not have the garden and yard like Prince Jin's mansion, and there was no place to stretch out.

The snow continued to fall until the next day, and in the morning, the snow had already fallen half a foot thick, and one foot could cover the instep of the foot.

Lin Ruan had breakfast with Zhanxi. At this time, Lin Ruan was used to eating with Zhanxi, and no longer had random thoughts like the first time.

"It's snowing heavily outside, ask Shining to drive you to school." Zhan Xi said suddenly.

Lin Ruan asked: "Will it interfere with Mr.'s affairs?"

"No." Zhan Xi said: "If it still snows after school, Shining will pick you up."

Lin Ruan was flattered, "Thank you sir."

After dinner, Shining sent Lin Ruan to school, he opened the door for Lin Ruan and called him Mr. Xiao.

Lin Ruan was a little surprised, "Sir?"

Shining smiled and said, "You have different identities after all. It's okay to talk about it at home, but naturally you have to respect it outside. This is the rule."

Rules and regulations, there are always many, many rules in this family, Tong Bo has a set of rules, Zhan Xi also has a set of rules, and the rest of Cao Mama, Ah Yue Shining, each have their own rules.Lin Ruan thought, should I also come up with a set of rules?After thinking about it, I gave up again. I am afraid that few people will abide by my own rules.

The car drove to the gate of Yenching University, attracting many students to watch.Lin Ruan got out of the car, still wearing a thick scarf.

"I'm here, thank you." Lin Ruan thanked Shining, Shining waved his hand and drove away.

The crowd turned their attention to Lin Ruan again.Cars are still a rare thing these days, and you can't easily see them.

Meng Zhen emerged from the crowd and greeted Lin Ruan.He is Lin Ruan's classmate and friend of Lin Ruan.

Lin Ruan and Meng Zhen walked into the school gate together, and there were still many people watching. They looked at Lin Ruan, and then whispered as if no one else was there.

Meng Zhen glared, "Look! What are you looking at! I've never seen a car before!"

After being told this, the people around gradually dispersed.A person walked past Lin Ruan, and when he came to Lin Ruan's side, he bumped into him lightly and walked over without squinting.

Meng Zhen took a look and said, "What's the matter with Li Mingwen, he won't apologize for bumping into someone."

Li Mingwen is the monitor of Lin Ruan's class. His grades are very good and he has always been the number one in their department.Speaking of which, Li Mingwen and Lin Ruan lived in the same dormitory when they first entered college.It's just that Lin Ruan had only lived in the dormitory for half a month before being called back, so he had nothing to do with Li Mingwen.

The teaching facilities of Yenching University are top-notch, with a dormitory for two people, equipped with a bathtub, water dispenser, and telephone booth.Correspondingly, the tuition fees of Yenching University are astonishingly expensive, three or four times the tuition fees of ordinary private universities.Li Mingwen's family background is not very good, but he works hard, works part-study, and the teachers and directors in the department like this student very much.

Lin Ruan walked up to Meng Zhen, "Did I offend him somewhere?"

"Who knows, he always looks like the world is sorry for him." Meng Zhen clapped his hands, "I see, it must be about the speech contest."

"What happened to the speech contest?"

"You didn't go to the finals. He was the champion of the speech contest. I said that day that your speech is better than his. If you go on stage, you will definitely win the prize. He was very upset when he heard it." Meng Zhen said: "Actually He hasn't been nice to you for a week, but you haven't noticed it yet."

"So that's how it is." Lin Ruan said, "Then I'll stay away from him in the future."

Meng Zhen waved his hand and asked, "Who is the person who sent you here just now? Is it your brother? I've never seen it before."

"He's not my brother."

"Who is that you?" Meng Zhen asked.

Lin Ruan hesitated for a moment and said, "My family."

"A family member?" Meng Zhen asked, "Is it because of this family member that you took time off from the speech contest last week to go home?"

Lin Ruan thought for a while, "That's right."

Meng Zhen frowned, "What do you mean?"

"That's right...that's..." Lin Ruan ran forward quickly before finishing speaking.

"You haven't finished talking to me yet!" Seeing Lin Ruan running away, Meng Zhen hurriedly chased after him.He shouted as he chased, startling the birds on the frozen lake.

Meng Zhen is a person who breaks the casserole and asks the bottom line. In his own words, he is too leisurely.Meng Zhen's family runs two silk and satin shops, a pawn shop, and a medicine shop. They are considered to be well-to-do.The Meng family's parents dote on Meng Zhen very much, and Meng Zhen has an older brother who treats him very well.Meng Zhen has money, family and confidence, and has never worried about anything.

In order to find out who the family members Lin Ruan was talking about, Meng Zhen tormented Lin Ruan all day, and after school in the afternoon, Meng Zhen's interest successfully changed from family members to Lin Ruan's home.

Lin Ruan's family background is very good, which is recognized by the school. He usually wears good things. He is gentle, humble and well-educated.Many people speculated that Lin Ruan was the young master from a big family.

And as his best friend, Meng Zhen suddenly discovered that he didn't even know about Lin Ruan's family situation.

I'm so incompetent, I don't care about Lin Ruan at all!

"Just tell me, I really want to know!" Meng Zhen pulled Lin Ruan, whimpering and coquettish unconsciously.

Lin Ruan looked at Meng Zhen, "I really want to know?"

Meng Zhen nodded vigorously.

Lin Ruan thought for a while and said, "Alright then, I'll tell you."

Meng Zhen laughed immediately and nodded quickly, but he still didn't let go of his hand.

Lin Ruan looked at him, he looked at Lin Ruan, "I'm afraid you are the same as in the morning. You ran away before you said anything."

Lin Ruan was helpless, "Well, it's not really a secret. Do you know Lan Mansion?"

"Who doesn't know the third master of Lan Mansion?" Meng Zhen's eyes widened in surprise, "Could it be that you are the young master of Lan Mansion?"

Meng Zhen thought again, "That's not right, Zhanxi's surname is Zhan, your surname is Lin, you two can't be a family, right?"

Lin Ruan laughed, "I'm not the young master of Lan Mansion, and Zhanxi's surname is not Zhan."

"That's right, that's right, Zhan Xi is a banner man." Meng Zhen just remembered.

Lin Ruan said: "I'm actually a servant of the Lan Mansion. I sold it to their family since I was a child. The gentleman is kind, so he allowed me to study. I asked for leave last week because the husband came back from abroad."

Meng Zhen was speechless for a while, obviously digesting this information.

"I didn't tell you before because this matter is a bit complicated. I have parents and a younger brother, but my household registration is in the Lan Mansion. The person who sent me off this morning is the housekeeper's son and the husband's assistant. Although we are not related by blood, But it's really family."

Meng Zhen was still silent, Lin Ruan frowned, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

The top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty kept popping up in Meng Zhen's mind, and the word "servant" seemed to be inextricably related to misery. Meng Zhen thought about it, his eyes turned red, and he asked, "Does it hurt?"

Lin Ruan: "???"

Meng Zhenhong looked at Lin Ruan's arm, "Let me see if there is any injury on your arm."

"Where are you thinking?" Lin Ruan avoided Meng Zhen's movements and said, "I told you that Mr. is a very nice person. He even sent me to school, and he didn't treat me poorly." Lin Ruan worried Looking at Meng Zhen, "Have you read too many novels?"

Meng Zhen came back to his senses all of a sudden, knowing that he was thinking too much, he scratched his head and laughed twice.

The two continued to walk forward. There was still snow on the trees on both sides of the road, and it fell down with a slight movement.

"Speaking of Third Master Zhan, I have always had a question." Meng Zhen said, "What is his last name? Yehenala? Borzigit? Some people say he is a Mongolian prince!"

Lin Ruan thought for a while and said, "Mr. has a fief in Mongolia, but he is not a Mongolian prince. When the emperor was still there, Mr. was already a prince, probably closer to the one in the palace."

Meng Zhen nodded receptively, and asked again: "Then is he particularly feudal? Does he always kneel down to ask for peace at home? Does he only eat three bites of a dish when he eats? There are eight cooks. Do you cook for him?"

Lin Ruan glanced at him, a little helpless, "Sir, who has studied abroad, is very open-minded. He doesn't have to kneel to pay his respects every now and then, and his food and clothing are not so extravagant."

Meng Zhen still wanted to ask something, a car slowly stopped beside the two of them.The car window was rolled down, Shining sat in the driver's seat, "Xiao Mister, Mister asked me to pick you up."

It turned out that Shining also called Zhanxi that way, and this thought suddenly crossed Lin Ruan's mind.

Meng Zhen looked at Shining curiously, Shining also looked at Meng Zhen, and said, "Is this Mr. Xiao's classmate?"

Lin Ruan recovered and said, "This is my classmate, named Meng Zhen."

Meng Zhen greeted Shining, who nodded with a smile.

"Do you want to invite classmate Meng to sit at home?" Shi Ning asked.

"Can you?" Meng Zhen's eyes lit up, a little excited.

Lin Ruan looked at the happy Meng Zhen, did not refuse, and got into the car with him.

The car drove to the Lan mansion, there were tall ginkgo trees on the side of the road, the iron gate was opened, the car went through the garden, and drove directly to the front of the house.

Meng Zhen looked at the garden of Lan Mansion through the car window.Although it is winter, the garden does not appear to be depressed, with a magnificent bungalow, like the manor of a western aristocrat in the book, but also reveals the elegant and dignified beauty of the east.

Meng Zhen whispered to Lin Ruan, "Your family is so big."

Lin Ruan didn't think it was too big, but nodded in response to Meng Zhen's words.Shining at the front heard it, and said: "It's not too big, the advantage is that it's convenient to park, you don't have to drive half a street to park at the back door."

He was talking about Prince Chun's Mansion. It was very inconvenient for a car to get to Prince Chun's Mansion. It had to go half a street and park in front of another gate.You can't enter the mansion either, you have to use your feet to walk into the yard after yard.Thinking of this, Lin Ruan also nodded.

Meng Zhen: Where... Versailles?
