The Opening of the Red Chamber

Chapter 018

In addition, standing not far from the Chuihua Gate, there are a dozen or so young Si who are busy carrying boxes after boxes of things. The busy and orderly scene immediately made Jia Mu also see. Some of them lost their minds for the time being.

Seeing this, Lin Fan broke away from Mother Jia's hand, walked up to the mothers who were following behind him, and slowly introduced them one by one: "Grandmother, this one in the long brown coat is Mother Hao, this The one wearing the royal blue short jacket is Madam Liu, they were originally court ladies, and they were my foster mothers given to me by the sage."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the servants in Jia's mansion and here all changed in an instant.Even more, countless eyes of admiration and admiration focused on the two nuns.Lin Fan ignored the astonishment and unexpected expressions of the women around him, and continued to introduce calmly and calmly: "These two are Mother Jiang and Mother Lu. They turned out to be the mothers in charge before the saint , and now the sage also gave it to me." After finishing speaking, he looked at the stunned and envious eyes of Mother Jia and the people behind him and said, "These two are Nanny Xu and Nanny Gao. The nanny who looks after the prince here is the nurturing nanny that the prince gave me. And the eight big maids and the little maids are also sent to me by the prince."

Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Xing, etc. and Mrs. Jia who followed here all showed surprised and stunned expressions after listening to it.After Jia's mother was stunned for a while, she said to Lin Fan: "My good granddaughter, grandma wants you to live in my yard and talk to grandma more often. Look, there are so many maids and women in grandma's yard. It's enough for you to order." The implication of this is to let Lin Fan send those maids back, leaving only the nuns.

snort!When Lin Fan heard this, the little person in his heart immediately raised his middle finger.

It is indeed true to say that Mother Jia loves her granddaughter dearly.But Mrs. Jia's love for her granddaughter and her love for her grandson cannot be seriously compared.In the original book, it is said that the cost of food and clothing is the same as that of Baoyu, but the material benefits are not as good as the spiritual ones.

What's more, the servants of Jia's mansion are all low-minded, they don't talk about it, and they even make up bad things about their master behind their backs.If Lin Fan really agreed, wouldn't it be a waste of her good intentions to make such arrangements?

Unexpectedly, as soon as Mother Jia said what she said, Mother Jiang, who was in charge, immediately stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Jia, the girl is old, and she is already seven years old. The old lady lives with the girl's cousin, how inconvenient it is." Besides, the lord ordered the servants before leaving the house, if the Jia mansion does not have a yard for the girl to live in, let us take the girl back to the county prince's mansion." Jiang Nanny is the person in front of the saint, and she has stayed by the saint's side for many years, so she can speak and do things well. It's very appropriate, and even learned a little bit of the saint's aura.Just this little bit is enough for ordinary people to accept.

No, Mother Jia's face darkened when she heard this.

Lin Fan pretended not to see, stepped forward and said, "Grandmother, I still have to keep filial piety and copy scriptures for my mother. I live in my grandmother's yard, and it's not good to offend others with this filial dress." After hearing this, Jiamu seemed to know When her daughter died, her granddaughter had to keep her filial piety.

In an instant, Jia Mu's face became even more ugly and embarrassing, and Lin Fan added fuel to the flames. He pretended to be innocent and unstressed under the loli's appearance, stabbed him again, and said, "Grandmother, I live with the prince. At that time, the prince also prepared a Buddhist hall for me, and sent a nanny to teach me, so that I could recite sutras for my mother every day." After talking about this, what else does Jiamu have to say.Those plans in her heart before, wanting to cultivate childhood sweethearts for the two Yu'er's emotional plans, but now that Shunyi County King sent Lin girl here this morning, it was completely messed up and overturned her entire plan.

The foster mother in the court opened her mouth, saying that she was either a saint or a prince, and Mother Jia felt a lot of pressure.

At this time, Wang Xifeng, who could see the momentum the most, came forward immediately, and said with a smile: "Oh, old ancestor, the four-entry courtyard of Yaoquanxuan on the northwest corner of our courtyard is not far behind your courtyard. ,Yesterday you said that we should clean up quickly so that we can stay when Miss Lin arrives. What's the matter, after seeing Miss Lin today, I only remember making out with my granddaughter, so I forgot about it? "

The ladder had already been handed over, and Jiamu went down immediately, holding her forehead and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I forget what I say." She looked at Lin Fan as she spoke, "Grandmother is getting old, today I can When I saw you, I forgot about it."

Wang Xifeng answered immediately: "Old Ancestor, then I will take Sister Lin's maids and women to the yard first, and immediately arrange for someone to help carry the luggage, okay?"

Mother Jia nodded, waved her hand and said, "Go, go, don't neglect these nuns."

Lin Fan looked at this scene, and the corners of his lips curled up in satisfaction: "Thank you, grandma." However, the little person in her heart clasped her arms crossed on her chest proudly and complained: "Everything that hits my mind must be done." Nipping it in the bud.

Jia's mansion was already chaotic enough, and she, Lin Fan, didn't mind coming to make the water even more turbid.

Didn't her boss say that she had to be in a happy mood anytime and anywhere to go to work? No, she was trying to have fun for herself.

With Jia Mu's order, Wang Xifeng led a group of people towards the corridor on the other side.But the foster mothers Hao and Liu stayed behind Lin Fan and went to Jiamu's yard together.

Jia Mu led Lin Fan and Mrs. Wang's hand, and walked all the way into the Chuihua Gate.

Stepping through the hanging flower gate, you can see the ultra-handy corridors with carved beams and painted colors on both sides. In the middle of the yard is the hallway, and there is a red sandalwood shelf and marble screen in the hallway.A group of people walked around the screen slowly, and only then did they see the main room in the courtyard behind.The main house faces south, five rooms wide, with small side rooms on both sides, all of which are carved beams and painted buildings with brilliant color paintings.Under the eaves of the verandahs on both sides of the mountain, there are various parrots, thrushes and other birds.On the white marble steps in front of the main house, there were a few girls in red and green clothes, and when they saw Jiamu bringing someone in, they stood up quickly one by one, greeted them with smiles on their faces, and scrambled to fight. The curtain at the door of the house, so that Mother Jia can bring people in.

After entering the house and sitting down, the maids brought tea and fruit.

Under the winks from Hao Nanny and Liu Nanny, Lin Fan stepped forward to greet Jia Mu again.

Living in the county prince's mansion and taking court etiquette classes for nearly four months, the effect is not something to brag about.Compared with the gesture of saluting the seventh prince when he met the Seventh Prince for the first time, Lin Fan's gestures are now very standard.Hao Momo and Liu Momo, these two well-known nuns in the court were taught by themselves. Even if Lin Fan is a rotten wood, they carved it with extraordinary kung fu.

Therefore, this gesture of greeting is standard, dignified and extravagant.

When Jia Mu saw it, she was both happy and sad.Perhaps seeing Lin Fan's plain white body, and remembering the black-haired man Jia Min walking in front of the white-haired man, his eyes were slightly red. He stared at Lin Fan for a long time, and then turned to the people following him. an introduction.Lin Fan also stepped forward to salute one by one.Everyone in Jia Mu's house has come, no one can stay idle during the battle that the Seventh Prince made in front of the Rongguo Mansion just now.Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and Jia Mu, the four masters of the Rongguo Mansion, are all here.Wang Xifeng took people to clean the yard and put the luggage, and the rest are almost here.

"Go, go and call the girls. A distinguished guest came from afar today and told the girls that they don't have to go to school today." Jiamu took Lin Fan and sat beside her, then turned her head and told the maid standing behind her. road.After finishing speaking, he turned his head again and said to Lin Fan, "There are three sisters in my family, about the same age as you, let them come and meet you so that we can play together in the future."

Lin Fan listened and nodded with a smile, thinking in his heart, this is Sanchun.Thinking back on Jiamu's words just now, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling a thousand emotions in his heart. 'Valented guest', 'coming from afar', 'call the girls', although these words are not very eye-catching, if you think about them slowly, you can know how much the speaker has a fancy to that speaker.

Waiting for the girls to arrive, Mother Jia asked Lin Fan about his recent life and things in Yangzhou one by one, and Lin Fan answered them one by one.Jia Mu asked again: "Just now, I heard from Yu'er that you lived in the prince's palace before?"

Hearing this, Lin Fan lowered his head slightly, knowing that the big show was coming.Rolling his eyes, he tried hard to control his calm mask that was about to burst, raised his head, and said slowly: "Well, after my mother was buried, the prince came to the south of the Yangtze River and brought me back to Beijing." Arrived here, nothing else to say.

When Jia Mu heard this, she squinted her eyes, and then laughed: "This is really troublesome to the prince." The words were so weird that Lin Fan didn't think through the meanings he wanted to express.

Just at this time, the sound of joking and laughing came from outside the house.

Listening to the voice, you don't need to ask who it is, you know it's Wang Xifeng.

It is different from her appearance in the original book. She was seen outside the gate of the Rongguo Mansion before. The autumn-scented silk all over her body is different from the beaded emerald head. Now her son comes, and she has changed into a light blue embroidered periwinkle. The double-breasted jacket is paired with a moon-white makeup satin pleated skirt, a long life lock is hung on the silver collar on the chest, and a few unique and simple silver hairpins are attached to the hair bun. It was different when we met at the front gate before.It has to be said that Wang Xifeng's ability to adapt to changes is really not covered.

She also came with the Sanchun sisters.Perhaps because of her suggestion, the three sisters all changed into plain clothes.

Seeing them coming, Mother Jia hurriedly ordered someone to draw up the curtain to let them in.Pointing to the three girls in front of him one by one, he said, "This is your sister Yingchun." Following what Jiamu pointed out, Lin Fan looked at the first girl, and in the words of the original book, it was: skin with slight skin Feng, with a medium figure, cheeks condensed with fresh lychee, nose with goose fat, gentle and silent, and amiable to look at. "This is your sister Tanchun." Lin Fan looked over. This girl had slender shoulders and slender waist, a tall figure, an oval face, handsome eyes and sculpted eyebrows. "This is your little sister Xichun." Lin Fan looked at her undersized and described her as small.But that round face is very cute.Immediately got up, greeted each other.

At the end, he pointed to Wang Xifeng and said, "She, you met just now, she is your second sister-in-law Lian. She is a famous rogue here, you can just call her 'Feng Lazi'."

Lin Fan knew who she was a long time ago, so he stepped forward and said, "I've seen Sister Feng." Wang Xifeng was a little surprised by this shout, and then laughed again.

After the ceremony, Mother Jia asked, "Have you arranged the luggage and people brought by your sister Lin?"

Sister Feng stepped forward and said, "Old Ancestor, everything has been arranged." After saying this, she paused for a while, and then smiled at Lin Fan, "The person brought by Sister Lin may have done it, some nuns The command is orderly, and the Xiaosi left behind by the prince are even more nimble, so I don't need to worry about it at all."

"Then you have to go and watch to see if there is anything you can help." Jia Mu said.

After hearing this, Sister Feng said with a smile: "Hey, old ancestor, I have already arranged for someone to wait. If you need anything, just ask someone to run errands, and I will take care of it." Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction after hearing this. .

The author has something to say: little goblins, it's completed, I will slowly read the next chapter in the afternoon!
