Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Being hugged and coaxed by two women full of compassion and comfort, Wang Mingrui is a keen person, and he can see from the subtleties that these two people have sincere feelings for him, and it is really helpless to act with them, and I feel a little guilty in my heart .My body is now a child's body, and I don't care about gender differences, so I immediately hold the arms of the younger women who keep calling him "An Geer is not afraid", acting very close and dependent.With a look of relief and anxiety on the woman's face, she spoke softly to Wang Mingrui.The older woman took on the task of introducing and explaining. She articulated clearly and spoke in great detail.

It didn't take too long for Wang Mingrui to figure out the general situation.The family's surname is Lin, and the master, that is, the father of this body, has a single name.Wife Chen.The Lin family is a scholarly family with a noble family background.The ancestor of the first branch is still the honor of the Marquis, inheriting the fifth generation.Because the titles are descended every generation, in this generation, there is no titles, but it is still a famous family.Lin Qing's lineage belongs to a side branch. He is also a scholar, with good knowledge, and passed the scholar examination in his early twenties.It's just that I took the autumn exam several times in a row, but I didn't win the exam.Wang Mingrui knew that in ancient society, it was not easy to be a scholar. If you were a scholar, you could see officials without kneeling and become a member of the scholars. Those with excellent grades would be paid monthly by the government.But only if you win the Juren, can you be considered as famous and thus qualified to be an official.As for whether you can be an official, it depends on your background and luck.But in this place, there are also prominent figures, and there are countless benefits.If you can win the prize, no matter the ranking is a Jinshi or a fellow Jinshi, you can be awarded an official position and enter an official career from then on.If it is placed in a province where the style of writing is not strong, scholarly talents are rare and expensive, and they are also very prestigious.But unfortunately, his family is in Gusu, which is the Suzhou of later generations. Historically, it has been a good place with developed economy and prosperous culture.Lin Qing's mere status as a scholar is really nothing in a place like Gusu!

Well, this point is the same as later generations. In the Northwest College Entrance Examination, you can get a score of 985, but in Jiangsu, you can't count on two books!

Therefore, Wang Mingrui inspected the room, and then looked at Mrs. Zhu and her confidant servant, Nanny Du—the woman who was warmly introducing him to him. He immediately estimated the financial situation of the Lin family: the family was well-off, more than the top, more than the bottom. !Two steps forward is a wealthy family, two steps back is a poor family.

I - Lin Ming'an, is the only son of the Lin family, over three years old.Lin Qing and Chen's were nearly [-] years old, and they had a child. They loved each other like treasures and treated them like eyeballs.This time, Lin Ming'an was seriously ill, but it made them anxious.Mrs. Chen took care of her servants at home all the time, and Lin Qing just went to the pharmacy to find good medicinal materials.

After understanding these situations, Wang Mingrui felt relieved. He had just recovered from his illness, and his young body couldn't resist the bursts of tiredness that surged up, and his eyelids drooped involuntarily.Under Chen Shi's gentle pat, she closed her eyes and slept soundly, her nose was heavy, her sharpened little face was still white and cute.

Mrs. Chen carefully arranged the quilt for Wang Mingrui, and finally let go of the heart that had been hanging for many days, and felt a sense of relief all over her body.She and Madam Du looked at each other, and sighed: "Amitabha, An Geer is finally fine! I can also rest assured. But, he can't remember anything, I'm afraid it's because of this illness. , Lost your mind?"

"Ma'am, why worry?" Madam Du persuaded, "I think my brother is all right now, take care of yourself, take care of your body, and he will be fine in a few days. A child is sick, and he comes and goes quickly!"

"Such a young child, it doesn't matter if he remembers or not, the master and wife will teach him! Besides," she leaned closer to Mrs. Chen, and said in a low voice, "It's not a bad thing if my brother doesn't remember!"

Chen was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and thought for a while, "You're right."

She put her palms together and recited the Buddha's voice: "It must be God's will!"

Wang Mingrui slept very soundly this time, and when he woke up, he felt refreshed, every part of his body was stretched properly, and his face was a little more bloody than before, which made Chen Shi and Madam Du beam with joy.

Wang Mingrui has now met his father, scholar Lin Qing.Lin Qing looks gentle and kind, and is a few years older than Chen.He saw that Wang Mingrui's face was no longer sick, and he had already got out of bed and walked around. He was only weaker than usual, his eyes lit up, and there was a smile on his mouth.Presumably he already knew about Wang Mingrui's amnesia from Mrs. Chen, so he gently picked up his son and walked slowly in the Lin house.As they walked, they patiently pointed to the house at home and the people they met, and told Wang Mingrui one by one, so that his son, who had forgotten things due to illness, could understand the situation at home again and know how to call his family members.

Wang Mingrui quickly found out the situation of the family.First of all, people call him 'An Geer', he is the only child of Lin Qing and Chen, and he is precious.Well, this was rare in ancient times when many sons were blessed. In order to prevent him from losing his fortune, people were not allowed to call him young master.The Lin family lived in a three-entry house, which was handed down from the ancestors.The house is not big, and it is clean and tidy. Once you enter, it is a place for receiving guests. There is a living room for receiving guests. The east and west are two guest rooms, which are prepared to be settled when guests come to stay.Wang Mingrui observed carefully, the layout of the reception room was simple, with a few paintings and calligraphy hanging on it, and the tables and chairs seemed to be of very good quality, but it was obvious that they had been used for some years.The bedding on the bed in the guest room is neat and tidy, and it has also been cleaned, but there are no traces of people living there.It was not as convenient for the ancients to go out as it is in modern times. It took ten and a half months on the road, which is still a small amount, and it is troublesome to stay at the top.People never go out unless they have to.There are few foreigners in this house, which shows that the friends are not so extensive, or that relatives and friends are all in the same place, so there is no need to stay overnight.

The other entrance is the kitchen, the storage room and the servant's room. There is also a barn in the northwest corner. Inside, a big green donkey is grazing with its head buried in grass. Seeing Lin Qing and the others coming, he raised his head and said "uh ang, huh ang" Called a few times to say hello to the owner.Wang Mingrui got down from Lin Qing's arms and picked up a few stalks of fodder from the trough to feed the donkey.The donkey opened its mouth to eat grass in his hand, and put its head on his hand, with a very friendly attitude, recognizing that this was its little master.

"Father," Wang Mingrui liked this green donkey with human nature very much. Thinking of the pet he had in the past, an Alaskan dog with pricked ears, he felt that it was a bit like that green donkey for no reason. Well, they all had pricked ears. ,: "Is it famous?"

"If you don't have a proper name, just call it Xiaoqing."

"Oh..." Wang Mingrui felt a little regretful, and patted the donkey's head lightly. He originally wanted to give Lele the name of his pet dog, the Alaskan dog that often pricked up its ears.That being the case, that's too bad, otherwise the green donkey will be confused and don't know what his name is!A donkey and a dog, for no reason, he felt that these two resembled each other, probably with their ears pricked up.Alas, he thought of Lele and his previous life, his heart darkened, and he sighed silently

The last one to enter is the residence of Lin Qing and his wife.The bedrooms of the two are separated and connected by a corridor in the middle.Lin Qing's study is not far from the bedroom, and the study of scholars is generally not allowed to enter.Lin Qing took Wang Mingrui in and walked around, pointed out to him, and said with a smile: "An'er, when you are two years older, Dad will enlighten you here."

Chen's bedroom is next to Yuan's room, so it is convenient to have a caregiver.This entrance is relatively spacious, because it is the owner's residence, which is carefully furnished.All kinds of furnishings are not very luxurious, but the details are very particular, and it looks comfortable to live in.The yard is full of flowers and trees, all of which have been selected, including jasmine, rhododendron, rose, chrysanthemum, etc., as well as a wintersweet tree and an osmanthus tree.In this way, flowers can be seen in all seasons without decay.At this time, the flowers in the small courtyard are blooming, colorful and very beautiful.

There are also several servants in this family, all of whom have signed contracts of sale.The Madam Du I met when I first came here was named Chunhua, who was Chen's companion. She had been serving Chen since she was a child, and she married into the Lin family with Chen.Lin Qing and Chen's relationship is harmonious, and they never thought of letting Du Chunhua be the housekeeper.Du Chunhua was sold as a maidservant because of her poor family. Seeing her parents' life as a "poor couple, everything is sad", and her mother being beaten and scolded at home, she was especially sad. Thinking about it, it was hard for her to find a good family.Besides, Mrs. and Mrs. treat her very well. Instead of living such a life, it's better to stay in Lin's house and work.Madam Du is like the housekeeper in the Lin family, and she is also Chen's confidant.

There are also two family members: Sun Zong and his wife and Qian Jixiang and his wife, who are in charge of food, cleaning and other things in the house respectively. Among them, Sun Zong used to be Lin Qing's book boy, and he also learned some words and could do some accounts, helping Lin Qing manage the house. Some businesses outside, running errands, running errands and the like.The important thing is still in Lin Qing's hands.

Very good, it seems that this 'Daddy' is not the kind of pedantic person who is dumbfounded and doesn't understand affairs.Wang Mingrui thought with satisfaction.

After visiting the entire Lin residence, with Lin Qing's introduction, Wang Mingrui came to a preliminary conclusion: The Lin family is a good family.Although not very rich, the Lin house and family business should have been passed down from the ancestors.Ancient houses are not as sought-after as modern ones, but this is in the bustling and prosperous city of Gusu, so it is passable.There are five servants in the family. In modern times, only rich people have such an arrangement.But in ancient times when labor was worthless, it was not much.It is not uncommon for a large family to have a few masters and hundreds of people to serve them.It can be seen from this that the Lin family is a moderately wealthy family with no worries about food and clothing, and has nothing to do with being rich and powerful. Lin Qing is also a low-key person, not a person with many friends, which can be seen from the fact that the guest room is vacant all year round.

When it was time to eat, Wang Mingrui and Lin Qingchen sat at a big table to eat together.There are meat and vegetables in the meals, but they are not extravagant.Madam Du served Wang Mingrui a bowl of rice porridge with minced meat, but because he had just recovered from a serious illness, she did not dare to let him eat or drink.Seeing Wang Mingrui eating deliciously, Mrs. Chen happily ordered that the kitchen stew some warm tonics for Brother Ang every day, so that Brother An could nourish his body, and Brother Ang lost his vitality due to this illness.

Wang Mingrui looked up at the Lin Qingzhou family who was smiling at him, and his heart felt hot.His parents in this life are not as rich as his previous life, but the deep harmony and love for him made him feel comfortable and happy.There are no concubines in the family, the husband and wife are harmonious, the parents are loving, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing. Such a life is already very good!
