Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

In the courtyard of the Lin family's mistress, there is a very delicate and elegant living room, all elegant and luxurious huanghuali furniture, above which is a large couch, which is now separated by several mica screens.The chairs in the lower row are covered with embroidered chairs and cushions, which are as soft as clouds, making them extremely comfortable to sit on.On both sides of the chair, there are small tables in the shape of plum blossoms, tea bowls on the tables, and Ru porcelain beauty goblets, and freshly picked seasonal flowers are inserted in the goblets, which are delicate and charming.A quaint bronze Boshan stove in the corner is burning the precious agarwood incense, and the cigarette smoke rises up, floating like clouds in the mountains, and the light and faint fragrance diffuses in the air, making people's hearts quiet.

Ye Tianshi, a famous doctor in Jinling, looked at Mrs. Lin sitting behind the screen, sighed silently in his heart, and persuaded again earnestly: "Mrs. Lin, although this prescription is very effective for seeking a child, the medicinal materials used are a bit strong. It will inevitably hurt your body. Xiao Ke still advises Madam to use some gentle prescriptions, and it is better to take it slowly! Even if you want to use this prescription, you must first take care of your body, and then talk about it after a few years. Madam, you"

Jia Min interrupted him from behind the screen: "Doctor Ye, I'm not young anymore! In a few years, can I be born again?" She sighed quietly: "Doctor Ye, just prescribe the prescription!"

Ye Tianshi sighed, and stopped persuading, the maid beside him prepared his pen and ink, he took a pen and wrote down a prescription, raised his hand and bowed, and left.

Shi Sunshi put away the prescription, thinking about Ye Tianshi's words, he also persuaded Jia Min.Since she has already visited Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen must have known what the master is thinking, so she must be on guard!Mrs. Chen definitely didn't want to abandon An Ge'er, let alone let her father-in-law take a concubine.In this way, she and Jia Min have the same goal, and in a sense, they are allies.Besides, the wife is already willing to accept the master as a concubine. If she gives birth to a concubine, the master will lose his mind on An Geer, so why waste his body?It is still too late to wait for a few years to take care of yourself and take care of your body!

Jia Min looked at his confidant who was thinking of himself, with a bitter face, and confided his thoughts: "Why don't I want to take good care of myself? But, how long will it take, one year, two years, or five years, I really can't wait Already! Master can’t wait any longer!”

Before Shi Sun could speak, Jia Min said again: "I know what you are going to say, but if I can have another son, I don't need those bastards. Who knows if there will be another Angle among them?" ?” She said indifferently: “In my natal family, only my mother gave birth to a son-in-law, and the rest are only a few concubine sisters. It’s just a dowry, so it doesn’t matter!”

Shi Sun didn't dare to persuade her anymore, she murmured in her heart: Doctor Ye only said that the prescription can help to conceive, but he didn't say that the one who can conceive is a boy!What if the daughter is born at that time?Could it be that if you want to keep drinking the soup for the aunts and girls, the master can't agree to it?

Not to mention how Jia Min privately extended medical treatment to ask for a child, how to arrange a concubine's room to serve Lin Ruhai and other matters, Lin Ruhai pondered over and over while hesitating, but Lin Qing here was making preparations before the rain came.

After careful calculation, Lin Qing and Chen found that if they really went to Sichuan, they would not need to make big moves.The ancestral house of the farm can not be moved, and it is not difficult to change hands of the shop.Sun Zong is in charge of the management of the farm property, and he is used to it. The annual land rent is roughly a certain amount. It is not a big mistake to entrust Chen's natal family and Lin Qing's friends to supervise it together. After all, Sun Zong and his wife are persistent. In Lin Qing's hands.Lin Qing was going to double his monthly silver, and pay dividends at the end of the year depending on the situation. It was expected that he would weigh the pros and cons, and would not dare to do something too contrary to the Lord.Lin Qing doesn't care too much about the little ones, he is not deaf or dumb and not worthy of being in charge!

After accepting the lessons from the past, plus the turnover of the dim sum shop, there is more than a thousand taels of silver in the account, which is enough for the expenses on the road from Gusu to Shu.My uncle said that there is a ready-made house, so I don't have to spend a lot of money to buy the house all at once.If it doesn’t work, you can rent one now, it’s not expensive.Judging from my uncle's letter, the cost of living in Shu is much lower than that in Jiangnan.Once you have a position, you can have a salary and income.These are nothing, but I am really reluctant to leave Gusu, where I have been used to living since I landed.Reminiscing about the bluestone streets of Gusu, small bridges and flowing water, the graceful spring rain of apricot blossoms, the soft words of Wu Nong that I am used to hearing every day, thinking about the comfortable and leisurely days on weekdays, I feel melancholy and sentimental, and my heart is empty.But as soon as I saw An Ge'er kissing Huan affectionately, I forgot about that, and thought it was worth it!

Although they haven't made a final decision yet, Lin Qing and Chen think it's better to remind An Geer first, so that the child can get used to it. Suddenly leaving the familiar environment will make adults feel uncomfortable!

"You want to move to Sichuan? Don't you live at home?" An Ge'er really showed a look of surprise, with a pair of big black eyes staring round.

"Well, your uncle, that is, my father's uncle, is the prefect in Xuzhou, Sichuan, and needs manpower, so I ask my father to help him with errands." Lin Qing told Lin Ming'an, fearing that he would not be willing, and hurriedly coaxed him He said: "It's not like we'll never go back. Zhuangzi and the house are under the watchful eye of Sun Zong's family. After a few years, we might come back."

"Then Auntie and I will go with Auntie?" An Geer asked.After getting an affirmative answer, he returned to his normal state, even the look of surprise dissipated.

"That's why our family is together, Brother An will not be unhappy." Lin Mingan said with a smile: "I heard Qinghe Zhenren said that he has traveled all over the world, and the scenery around Bashu is breathtaking. Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain, Leshan Giant Buddha, Three Gorges .....Although it is not as rich as Jiangnan, but when it comes to mountains and rivers, it is unparalleled in the world!! I read ancient poems, and there are many descriptions of the scenery of Bashu, such as "Bashan night rain rises autumn pond", "Flowers brocade Guancheng', 'Mount Emei's half-moon autumn, the shadow of the Pingjiang River flow', I think Shu is a good place for outstanding people, I wish I could go and see it myself! A Niang said that she has spent her whole life in Gusu city, If she has the opportunity to go out and see the beauty of the world, she will definitely be happy!"

"Besides, father is going to be an official to do things. Of course we have to go with father. In the future, if Brother An studies well, he will also become an official. I heard that the government does not allow people to work in their hometown. If you are an official, you have to be sent to other places. At that time, wouldn’t father and mother also go with their son? What’s the big deal, why is father in such a hurry?” Lin Mingan said nonchalantly.

As a person who loves nature and has been a donkey friend for a while, Lin Mingan said that he actually prefers the magnificent and authentic scenery of Sichuan, Xiangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou.Although Gusu is nice, living a comfortable and peaceful life for too long is a bit boring.He is used to seeing Yangliu Yiyi, he wants to change his taste, savor the mountains and mountains, the rain and snow!Speaking of it, the land of Shu is not the kind of place with poor mountains and bad waters, otherwise Liu Bei could rely on this place to establish a country?It's just that compared with Jiangnan, it's worse.What's more, according to what he saw, Father had actually already had an inclination, and now he just needed someone to help him make up his mind.

Lin Qing and Chen were obviously relieved by Lin Mingan's attitude, and turned their heads to think, yes!In the future, Ange will be promising, and if he wins the Jinshi in the imperial examination, he must at least have a seventh-rank official. No matter whether he is valued to stay in the capital or sent to another place, he will never stay in Gusu City.So, their family will leave Gusu sooner or later, and now it is only 20 years earlier.As for whether An Ge'er could pass the exam, Lin Qing and his wife firmly ruled out the word no. An Ge'er is so outstanding and smart, do you still have doubts?

In this way, the depression in my heart dissipated unknowingly.Mrs. Chen said with emotion: "Aniang is always bored at home, and the farthest she goes is to go to Zhuangzi to check. If you want to relax, you can just go to Taoist temples and temples for incense, and invite people to listen to a play." , Playing cards or something, people say sit in a well and watch the sky, there is not much difference between A Niang and that frog. Now I have the opportunity to go out and have a look, A Niang also feels happy in her heart!"

Lin Qing also nodded in agreement, originally he was in a complicated mood.Although it was his own choice to go to Shu, it seemed that he was in control of the situation, and he was very decisive.But on the other hand, why not be forced to leave?If I could have the same fame, official position and power as Lin Ruhai, I should argue with him confidently, and would I avoid it so confidently?This made him faintly feel frustrated and defeated.Now, An Ge'er's words quietly wiped away the grievance and resentment in his heart.

He felt sour and proud at the same time, this child is so heart-warming and comforting!Anyway, now he is his own son.It is enough for the family to be together, the husband and wife are harmonious, the father is kind and the son is filial, and they are happy and harmonious!

Another four or five months later, news came from the Lin family in Jinling that everything was normal.Lin Ruhai took in three new concubines, all of whom were well-bred and well-bred sons, which showed his desire for heirs, did it also imply that he gave up his plan to return to An Ge'er?

Lin Qing was a little confused, and couldn't make up her mind for a while, should she go now or stay?

Another month later, good news spread from the Lin family that Mrs. Jia, the mistress of the Lin family, was pregnant.This was the second pregnancy after Jia Min gave birth to his son Tianyou a few years later, it was really not easy.The whole Lin Mansion was in a commotion, the servants were all beaming with the extra two months of silver rewarded by the master, and they were reminded to be careful in serving their wives.All the concubines shrank in their own courtyard wisely, so as not to obstruct the eyes, so as not to upset the wife, it would be a big deal if they collided!They drank the anti-child medicine, feeling bitter in their hearts, and prayed that their wives would give birth to a daughter, otherwise they would not have a bright future.

Lin Ruhai was naturally overjoyed, and spoke softly and caringly to Jia Min every day.For a while, the two never said anything about going back to An Ge'er.Jia Min also acted as if nothing had happened, chatting and laughing with Lin Ruhai, showing a scene of peace and tranquility in this world.

Lin Qing and Chen Shi were also happy when they heard about it.In this way, Lin Ruhai will definitely not think about Ang Ge'er again.Even if they were planning to go to Sichuan, they would go in a leisurely manner, and they would think of Lin Qing as helping his uncle to find a future.It's a sad feeling to be secretly missed.

It's just that there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings!At this time, something that no one expected happened, which caught everyone by surprise.Brother Tianyou of the Lin family suddenly contracted a cold, and his condition developed rapidly.After several days of torment in his sickly body, there was no cure for him, and he passed away!
