The wife of two taels of silver
Chapter 12: Red Mansion Appears
Lin Haitang woke up early, and it was still dark when she woke up.
Lin Haitang couldn't remember what time she went to bed yesterday. She only remembered that she cried in the space and cried until she was in a daze. She couldn't remember when she came out of that space.
Lin Haitang wanted to cry again. She didn't know why she was so sentimental. Once the excitement of traveling through time wore off, Lin Haitang had more things to think about. This wasn't like her previous business trips; this time, she might never be able to go back.
Lin Haitang wiped the tears from her face, took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.
There's no point in thinking too much. I can't go back. For now, I just have to get by. I have two kids waiting to wake up and eat. I need to eat too. I can't die anyway. As long as I'm alive, there's hope.
This time, Lin Haitang did not wear the unique hairstyle of Mrs. Kang Chao. She took a wooden hairpin and casually tied her hair up, looking casual and chic.
This morning, Lin Haitang was cooking two dishes: stir-fried lentils with shredded pork and stir-fried lettuce. She simply loved them. She went to her space to pick the vegetables she needed, rinsed them with clean water, and began cooking. In another pot, she was cooking rice porridge, which was already cooked. Lin Haitang kept it simmering over low heat, fearing the cold.
After everything was done, Lin Haitang took the new clothes to dress Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan.
The two children were extremely happy to see the new clothes. They touched them curiously and asked several times: "Mom, are these really our clothes? Can we wear them?"
Lin Haitang patted the two little heads: "Of course it's your clothes. They're the new clothes that Mommy bought you yesterday. Of course you can wear them. Come, Mommy will put them on for you."
Lin Haitang dressed Gu Zhilan first. It was very beautiful. Gu Zhilan was naturally fair, so this dress suited her very well. Lin Haitang tied a cape on her. Gu Zhilan's whole smiling face was buried in the furry collar. She looked so pretty that people couldn't help but smile when they saw her. The same was true for Gu Mo. Gu Mo was a bit like Gu An. She was shy and blushed quietly, but she still pretended to be calm, which made her look even more adorable. Clothes make the man, and the two children just dressed up simply, like the spoiled daughters and young masters of a wealthy family.
"Let's go, Momolanlan, let's go to my mother's room to eat first."
Lin Haitang took the two children out and found it was snowing. The snow fell quietly and silently, like goose feathers, and the ground was already covered with a thin layer. The cold air also hit people in the face.
After entering the house, Lin Haitang took off the cloaks of the two children and put scarves on them, fearing that they would dirty their new clothes.
The two children were not picky eaters and ate their vegetables happily. In fact, Lin Haitang was worrying too much. Before, Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan couldn't even eat a hot meal. Now they have hot meals to eat, and they are cooked very deliciously. Of course, the two children will not be picky.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no way to go out to play, so Lin Haitang lit a stove in the study and taught his two children to write.
Lin Haitang set out the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone for the two children and asked, "Momo, Lanlan, did your father teach you two how to read and write when he came back last time?"
It’s no wonder that Lin Haitang didn’t know. When Gu An was around, the original Lin Haitang usually stayed as far away as possible. She had no idea how the two children got along with Gu An.
Gu Zhilan said softly, "No, Daddy just taught Lanlan and brother how to play the Nine Rings game."
Bastard. Lin Haitang cursed in his heart. He used to know how to teach his friends to read and write, but why didn’t he know how to teach his own child and didn’t even find a private school for the child? Bastard, no matter how much he disliked Lin Haitang, the child was his own.
Lin Haitang said gently: "It doesn't matter. If Daddy doesn't teach you, Mommy will teach you. Mommy will teach you how to write the word Gu first."
A few nights ago, Lin Haitang came to the study. Thanks to her cheap husband's extensive reading, she was able to recognize the traditional Chinese characters by guessing and guessing, and gained a good understanding of the era she lived in. Fortunately, she had learned calligraphy before, so her handwriting was not too ugly, but rather elegant and graceful.
Lin Haitang was just about to write a calligraphy template for the character "Gu" for the children, but she felt that it was too difficult to write. She said, "How about writing Lin? It's your mother's surname. Gu is too difficult to write."
Lin Haitang still taught the children how to write "Lin" and taught them step by step. The two children's handwriting was crooked and their pen holding posture was wrong. In the end, Lin Haitang simply ignored it and asked them to draw a continuous horizontal line first.
Lin Haitang found an excuse to go out, and she wanted to enter the space.
Since there was no way to go back, Lin Haitang had to find a way to survive here. Making money, no matter what era, was the top priority.
After a night of searching, Lin Haitang decided that she couldn't give up the search for her father's return home, but she had to prepare for the worst-case scenario. The worst-case scenario was being unable to return and remaining in the Kang Dynasty for the rest of her life. She needed the confidence to live in the Kang Dynasty.
If she really couldn't go back, she would divorce Gu An after seeing him. As for Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan, if Gu An didn't want to let go, she wouldn't argue with him, but she wouldn't ignore them. The child should call her "mother," and she would take care of the child. She wouldn't let them feel like they were motherless. If that bastard Gu An didn't want the child, Lin Haitang would take the child. That meant she had to make more money; raising a child was too expensive.
Lin Haitang majored in Chinese language in college and worked as an editor, eventually rising to manager. She couldn't imagine any use for her major in ancient times. But she had a space, and she remembered that it contained a copy of Journey to the West, so she thought there must be other books, such as Dream of the Red Chamber. Lin Haitang planned to search the space. If there was a copy, that would be great. She planned to make money with Dream of the Red Chamber, but even if not, she still had Journey to the West.
Lin Haitang has a special fondness for "Dream of the Red Chamber." It is a treasure of Chinese culture, and its charm is irresistible. It is simply unjust for those who study Chinese language and have not read "Dream of the Red Chamber."
After Lin Haitang entered the space, she first stored the remaining flower elixirs in a bottle. She had used one to save Xiaobai last time, and now that flower had closed, it must be nurturing new elixirs. Lin Haitang suspected that the elixirs were immature and couldn't be picked. This was a lifesaver, and it would be very useful in the future. She couldn't just use it so carelessly next time.
Lin Haitang searched in the nameless house and soon found "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Great, I’ve found a way to make money.
Lin Haitang returned to the study. The two children were still copying seriously. She also sat down at the desk and began to copy the first chapter of Dream of the Red Chamber.
Lin Haitang’s task is to copy the first five chapters today.
Outside, the snow was falling harder and harder, almost calf-deep. It continued to fall, showing no sign of stopping. The entire world was enveloped in white. Everything was silent, not even the chirping of birds. In this heavy snow, I wondered if they could find their way home, or if they ever made it home.
The day passed like this. Lin Haitang lit a candle and copied until the hour of Hai. By then, the two children had fallen asleep. Because she had other things to do, she couldn't keep writing, so she only finished copying at this time.
The snow stopped the next day. I don’t know when it stopped, but the snow was very deep, almost up to my knees.
After making some simple food for the two children, Lin Haitang began to plan when to go to the city.
Lin Haitang promised to bring Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan with her next time she went to the city. As a mother, she could not go back on her word in front of her children. However, how to go to the bookstore to discuss business with her children was a difficult problem.
There is only one way, and that is to put the two children into the space.
Lin Haitang called Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan over and said, "Mo Mo, Lan Lan, Mommy is going to tell you a secret. Can you promise not to tell anyone, not even your dad? Okay?"
Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan looked at each other and said, "Mom, we promise not to tell even Dad. Only the three of us know."
"Good, you are really my good children." Lin Haitang gently touched the two children's little cheeks, "Hold on tight to my hand, don't be afraid, I am always here."
Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan felt a black screen in front of their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they had arrived at an open space. There was a small house, a pond, beautiful flowers, a lot of unfamiliar "grasses", and many trees.
Seeing that the two children were already confused, Lin Haitang said to them, "Momo, Lanlan, this is my secret space. No one has ever been here except the three of us. No one can enter here without my permission, and no one can find it. This place is actually inside my body, so you have to keep it a secret, otherwise I will be in danger and you will never see me again."
Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan quickly hugged Lin Haitang's neck. Gu Zhilan said, "Mom, we don't want you to be in danger. We don't want you to leave."
Gu Mo said: "Mom, we won't tell anyone, we will protect you!"
"Okay, then Mommy will protect Lanlan silently. Come on, there are a lot of delicious food here. Mommy will take you there. There is also a bed in that small room. You can sleep when you are tired of playing."
Lin Haitang picked apples and peaches for the two children, washed two of them with spiritual spring water, and gave them to the two children to eat.
Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan had never eaten such delicious apples and peaches before, and even the good guys couldn't stop eating them.
Lin Haitang didn't dare let them eat too much because they were still too young and would get diarrhea if they ate too much, so she only gave each of them half.
The mother and her two children played in the space all day today and ate at the stone table. The two children were completely familiar with the space.
Lin Haitang planned to build a swing and a hammock here, two of each, so that the two children would not have to fight with her.
By the way, there are pomegranates in the space. I’ll make some pomegranate wine when I have time.
The next day, Lin Haitang copied two more chapters of "Dream of the Red Chamber." This time, she gave the two children the character "Gu." The two little ones worked very hard and didn't find it boring at all. They could already write the two characters quite well. This might be because they took after their father, who was studious. However, Lin Haitang was not a formal teacher after all, and she didn't know much about the knowledge here, so she still had to ask a teacher to teach the two children. This matter needed to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
On the third day, the snow still hadn't melted and was still very deep, so Lin Haitang couldn't go to the city. She copied the book twice more.
On the fifth day, the snow had almost stopped and the road was passable. Lin Haitang took her two children and the twelve-chapter copy of A Dream of Red Mansions and boarded a carriage to the county town.
The epic work "Dream of the Red Chamber" appeared in the Kang Dynasty.
