Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Lin Ruhai has been thinking over and over these days, undecided.The appearance and behavior of An Ge'er that day kept coming to his mind, and he liked it very much.He was even more satisfied with what he had heard from people sent to Gusu.These are intertwined, so his desire to return to An Ge'er became more and more hot.

But right now, there are still many concerns that make him unable to make up his mind.First, he wasn't sure whether the bargaining chip he was willing to give could impress Lin Qing, so he gave up An Ge'er as he wished.According to what we heard, his clan brother is quite stubborn, and he has a good relationship with An Geer and gets along very well.If trouble breaks out, it will be bad for his reputation.Brother An is also grateful for raising Ang, and he is not willing to persecute him, as long as the brother is willing to do so.

Furthermore, he knew that if Ang Geer returned to the Lin family, his wife Jia Min would be worried about Zhang Donger and his youngest son Tianyou.He and Jia Min have been husband and wife for many years, and the relationship is not bad. When they were young, they were affectionate and affectionate. Moreover, when they entered the official career at the beginning of the year, their father-in-law Rong Guogong once helped him. Live up to.How to persuade Jia Min is a difficult problem, which should be solved slowly.

After thinking about it, he sent people to Gusu to donate money to the clan to buy sacrificial fields, establish ethnology, and give rich gifts to the clan leader. I am very caring and want to use these practical actions to express my position to Jia Min: Even if An Geer recognizes her back, it will not shake the status of your mother and son in the Lin family.I will strictly abide by the rules and ethics, An Geer will only be God Bless's humerus assistant in the future!He believes that this is not to be impatient, and gradually Jia Min will be able to figure it out.

Jia Min is indeed as smart as he knows, and he knows elegance when he hears string songs.Not long after, the matchmaker led ten young girls who had been selected through the door of Lin's mansion, and was brought to meet by the housekeeper.The matchmaker flattered her with a smile all over her face: Mrs. Jia is a virtuous woman, she is worried about your lord's lack of heirs, and offered to help your lord take concubines. These women are all from clean families, in good health, with good looks and temperament.What's more important is, please read it, Mrs. Wen, they are all easy to give birth to.Please don't worry, my lord, it is also a blessing for those women to stay when they see what they like.

Lin Ruhai was speechless for a while, and Jia Min's move was to reply tactfully: She can take a concubine and have children for him, but An Geer cannot take it back.He was secretly displeased, but Lin Ruhai understood Jia Min's worry, so why wasn't it his own worry?In Gusu, the patriarch was only willing to accept his gift to the family, but politely declined his generous gift, which made him feel a little cold.He knew that the patriarch was concerned about his reputation and didn't want to get involved in this matter.Let the tribe who flattered him to find out Lin Qing's tone, Lin Qing's attitude is firm, and he has no intention of giving up on Brother Ang.Now, Jamin

Internal and external difficulties ah!Lin Ruhai sighed, and could only comfort himself: This is not in a hurry!Fortunately, Ange is still young, so take your time!

In the past, Jia Min was very reluctant to have anyone share her favor, and she reluctantly accepted Zhang Donger's entry into the mansion.Now that Jia Min is willing to think for the sake of the Lin family's heirs, he is not willing to take away her kindness.Lin Ruhai selected a few women who were pleasing to the eye, and asked the housekeeper to send them to Jia Min for a review, and she arranged to teach them.It is not enough for the Lin family to have only one Tianyou, and it would be good to have a few more bastards.He spends his time in nurturing well, and there will always be someone who will stand up and become a talent.Of course, what he wanted most was to go back to Ange!

In Lin Qing's house in Gusu, the inner courtyard is full of flowers and shadows, and wooden benches and small tables are set up, which are unique and generous.Although the house is not too big, everything is cleaned very cleanly, and it feels very comfortable to look at.

Mrs. Shi Sun secretly nodded in praise, this place is naturally not as good as his wife's house, but it doesn't look shabby, after all, it's a scholar's house, so it's not vulgar.

Seeing that it was Shi Sun who was looking at the courtyard, Mrs. Chen smiled lightly: "My place is poor, so naturally I can't compare with the luxurious house of my brother's family. I am laughing at you."

"Where, where!" Shi Sun said with a smile: "Mrs. Lin, you call me Shi Sun. I was distracted for a while because of the elegant layout of your yard. The wooden tables and chairs in your house are very special. The stone tables and chairs used in the garden are made of wood, painted with varnish, and the middle chair surface is hollowed out. There is a big umbrella on it to keep out the sun and rain. It looks pretty good, so I took a closer look. Now, I am going to tell my wife when I turn around, and buy a few more sets for sitting in the garden.

"You're too much of a prize. We are a small family, how can the things that we mess up randomly get into your master's eyes!" Mrs. Chen took a sip of tea and said casually: "This is all Brother An's idea. He discussed the style with the carpenter himself. I saw that it was much cheaper and more practical than the stone one, so I let him go.”

"Brother An is a smart boy!" Mrs. Shi Sun praised, and glanced at Mrs. Chen, seeing the joy and pride on her face, she was a little more sure about the purpose of this trip.

"To tell you the truth, Mrs. Lin, I was ordered by my wife to come here specially to meet you. My master didn't know about it. Today, my meeting with you, my wife, is better not to let Mr. Lin know!" Mrs. Shi Sun Suddenly said seriously.

"If you have anything to say, just say it!" Mrs. Chen took a deep look at her and replied with a frown.

Shi Sun cleared her throat: "Madam has a few things in her heart that she wants to say to Mrs. Lin..."

After Mrs. Shi Sun left, Mrs. Chen looked out the window, lost her mind for a while, then smiled lightly, shook her head and sighed, and said to Madam Du: "There are so many troublesome things that can't be explained by people like that. Son. It can be seen that every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and they cannot go as they wish!"

"Oh, isn't it? Compared with her, my wife lives a happier life! People, no matter how important it is to be rich and honored, you have to feel at ease! I can't even swallow it!" Madam Du sighed with emotion.

"Auntie, Madam Du!" An Ge'er's voice came from outside the house.

Mrs. Chen immediately showed a smile, watched Lin Mingan walk into the room, and asked with concern: "Brother An, are you hungry? Why are you late to Auntie's place today?" Went down to get some refreshments.This is Lin Mingan's afternoon tea time, they are all used to it.

"I saw a female guest enter A Niang's room when I was in the study, so it's inconvenient to come in." Lin Mingan said solemnly: "I saw her leave just now, so I came to see A Niang."

Chen smiled, placed the lotus seed cake and small wontons brought by Madam Du on the table, and called Lin Mingan to eat.For a time, between mother and child, happy and harmonious.

That night, after Lin Qing returned home, Mrs. Chen did not hide her husband, and told Mrs. Shi Sun's intentions and what he said in detail.

"That's just right!" Lin Qing listened quietly, with a trace of sarcasm on her lips: "Among the four people, three of them are unwilling, and only Lin Ruhai is wishful thinking! These days, he finds someone to secretly test, thinking that I Don't you know?"

"But Jia Min may not be able to be Lin Ruhai's master, otherwise her confidant would not come to the door today!" Chen reminded: "Master still has to make another plan. Brother An is going to school soon. At that time, if Someone wants to let him know his life experience, I'm afraid it's not good!"

"Furthermore, if Lin Ruhai really insists on this, we have to find ways to deal with it. Although he has a good reputation, as the saying goes, "Break the family magistrate, destroy the family order Yin"! If it goes on for a long time, I am afraid that the patriarch will not be able to stand it and will ask us to back down ! Can we abandon An Geer?"

"It doesn't make sense, don't even think about it!" Lin Qing snorted coldly.

"I received a reply from my uncle today." Lin Qing thought for a while, and said slowly: "My uncle still suggested that I go to him. He needs to use trusted people, and he can also use this to support me. He said that he would use I am a subordinate official, so I work under his subordinates. The salary is fair, and I also have some extra income. There are ready-made houses and everything. The living expenses in Sichuan are much lower than those in Jiangnan, so we have no problems in life. Worrying."

"In this way, we don't need to sell the land property in Jiangnan, and we can live on it. The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the two farms, can collect rent steadily every year. The big shop is in a prosperous location, so it is easy to rent it out. Only the pastry shop , there is no one to take care of it, which is a bit troublesome. In addition, the ancestral house must be left to guard and take care of it. How to arrange the servants in the family is a problem!"

Mrs. Chen thought about it, and made arrangements neatly: "The pastry shop can be sold out. The master chefs in the shop are familiar, and the new owner will keep them. Let's give another three months' wages, and the owner will also be satisfied." At home, Madam Du will naturally follow us. Sun Zong and his wife will stay to look after the house. Sun Zong takes care of the things on the farm, and Sun Zong’s family takes care of the ancestral house. Let’s rest assured. The master is not at home , two people are enough. If you really can’t take care of it, you can hire a casual worker to help. It’s best if Qian Jixiang and his wife are willing to go to Sichuan, and we don’t force you if you don’t want to. Return the body deed to them, and give them extra money Let them choose some silver. When we arrive in Sichuan, let’s buy a few more servants depending on the situation.”

"What I'm worried about is that there are good schools and teachers in Sichuan, so I can't delay An Ge'er's study." Chen sighed: "An Geer is such a smart and hard-working child, Gusu is a place where the literary style is at its peak. I'm afraid the land of Shu will be much worse!"

"Uncle said that the local school is very famous, and with Ang's qualifications, studying is not a problem. Besides, I will teach it myself and take care of it all the time. You don't have to worry about it!" Lin Qing comforted Chen.

"Then it's nothing!" Chen paused for a moment, "Sir, don't say you're dead if you write a letter to uncle. Let's wait and see. If the clan brother gives up his mind, it's the best if he can stay in his hometown! "
