Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

Although Lin Ruhai claimed that he was sick and could not go out, but the Meng family had to visit relatives when the Lin family first returned to Beijing. This is a rule and a courtesy.This morning, after serving Lin Ruhai for dinner, Mrs. Meng is going to take the Lin family and five children to Zhang's mansion to visit.

In the main hall, the Meng family and the three sons are all ready, but Meng Yan and Daiyu have not yet arrived.

"Qing Ya, go and see where the Eldest Miss and the Second Miss are."

"It's ma'am."

Qing Ya is the current maidservant of the Meng family, the two maids of Qinliu who served the Meng family earlier have been married, and now Qinliu is already the mother in charge of the Meng family.

Qing Ya hadn't left the house when she saw Meng Yan and Dai Yu had already arrived outside.

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss."

"Get up." Meng Yan pulled Daiyu into the room, and the maids following behind both of them were holding things in their hands.

"Mother, here we come."

"What are you carrying?" Mrs. Meng waved the two sisters to get up, and her eyes fell on the things held by the maid behind the two sisters.

"Mother, we're not going to the great-grandfather's house. This is my daughter and sister preparing gifts for my cousins."

"My mother has already prepared the meeting ceremony, so there is no need for you to prepare."

"Mother prepares mother's, and what we give is our heart. Mother doesn't know what girls like, and the gifts we give my cousins ​​will definitely like it."

"Your third cousin's eldest cousin got married last year, and now only your sixth cousin's second and third cousins, and your third cousin's three little nieces are the only ones in the Zhang family who have not left the cabinet. It's just your great-grandfather." The family has been separated, your great-grandfather and great-grandmother live with your uncle, and your uncle only has a little granddaughter."

What Meng meant was that the gifts prepared by Sister Meng Yan might not be delivered.

"You don't have to worry about this mother. When we go to the great-grandfather's house, the great-grandmother will definitely ask the cousins ​​to go to the ancestral house."

The Yangyuan Pill and Yanshou Pill made by Meng Yan, the two ancestors of the Zhang family, who are nearly ninety years old, are in good health. Although they can no longer walk alone, they can still speak clearly and eat well. Church.The longevity of the two is also well-known in the capital, and the Great Qi Dynasty has not found anyone with a longer life than the two.For this reason, the old sage rewards the two old people every year.

"Then you take it with you, it's getting late, let's go."

Meng Shi took his youngest son in a sedan chair, Meng Yan and Daiyu each carried it, and Meng Zhou rode with Yu Song who was obsessed with riding a horse.

Daiyu didn't want to go, she used the excuse to take care of Lin Ruhai at home, but no matter if it was Meng or Lin Ruhai, she had no choice but to compromise.Daiyu knew her identity, and although she had let go, she was not completely free from grudges.

The Meng family took Daiyu for the sake of her own reputation. Daiyu is her daughter now. Since her own children are all brought with her, she can't leave Daiyu behind. Otherwise, it will be spread that outsiders don't know about her and will use her to suppress and abuse her original daughter. .

Here, the Meng family went out to visit relatives with their children and gifts in a mighty way. The Mrs. Wang of Rongguo Mansion also went to Lin Mansion in a warm sedan chair with rich gifts. Jia Baoyu, who looks like sister Lin.

Mrs. Wang obviously felt that she was a person from the Duke's Mansion, and felt that it was an honor for the Lin Mansion to visit her, so she went directly to the Lin Mansion with a gift without sending someone to the Lin Mansion first.

When we arrived at Lin's Mansion, we saw that the gate of Lin's Mansion was closed tightly, Madam Wang felt unhappy when she saw this.She came to visit the Lin family and thanked the guests behind closed doors. It is really abhorrent to be so rude and neglectful.

"Zhou Rui's family is just doing something in a daze, so hurry up and knock on the door."

"Eh? Yes, ma'am, the maidservant will go now."

Zhou Rui's family first stared blankly at Mrs. Wang's sinister eyes, then hurried forward to knock on the door in panic.

"Who is it?" The doorman's clear voice came from inside the door, the door was opened one by one, and a head stuck out from inside.

"Open the door quickly. We are from Rongguo Mansion. Hurry up and ask your wife to come out. Our wife wants to visit your wife."

It really is the servant of the Rong Mansion, it is indeed the servant of Mrs. Wang's side, it is really not ordinary arrogance.The gatekeeper was immediately annoyed when he heard this.

"Go, where did the trouble come from? You don't even look at this, but the Lin Mansion is the Minister's Mansion, so you can make trouble."

Who can be transferred to be the oily job of the door is not a person who knows how to read people's eyes, and the door is closed after being annoyed.Zhou Rui's family was so close that his nose was almost pinched.

"Ma'am?" Zhou Rui's family turned around and called Mrs. Wang after being ashamed.

"You don't even know how to bark at the door. If you bark again, I want to see how arrogant that slave is." Don't you dare to look at her, she has been in charge of the Rongguo Mansion for decades and no one has seen her shut the door.

Zhou Rui's family was reprimanded and had to bite the bullet and knock on the door again.After a while, the door opened again, the door stuck out his head again, seeing that Zhou Rui's family was about to come, and Zhou Rui's family quickly blocked it.

"Why are you still here? What's going on with you? You're here to make trouble, right? I'll tell you to be careful if you make trouble again."

"Brother, wait. Brother, we are from the Rongguo Mansion. Your first wife is the aunt of our Rongguo Mansion. Our wife is the sister-in-law of your first wife. Our wife wants to visit your wife, so please trouble me." Brother let me know."

After being bombarded once, in order to fulfill the task Mrs. Wang gave, Zhou Rui's family also restrained their politeness and talked to the door, and even directly made a relationship.

"Visiting my wife, then have you handed over the post, when did you post it?" There is no way for a big family to let someone into the mansion casually. When a big family comes and goes, they must first send the greeting post and then come to visit. This is the rule. etiquette,

"This, uh, that..." Zhou Rui's family obviously didn't expect to ask for a post, but her wife never asked anyone to send a post.

"You didn't send the greeting card first, did you?"

Looking at Zhou Rui's family at the door, he couldn't help but look at him with contempt, and he even said that he was from the Duke's Mansion, and he didn't even understand the basic etiquette of sending posts first when visiting.And what about the first wife, he only knew that there was only one wife in Lin's residence.But since it belongs to the Duke's Mansion, it can't be offended to death, but he can't let anyone in without sending the post, and the masters didn't accept the post.

"My wife is not in the mansion when she is going out as a guest. If you want to see my wife, please come back next time; but remember to send a greeting card next time."

After finishing speaking, she ignored Zhou Rui's family and directly closed the door. Zhou Rui's family obviously didn't expect that the door would be closed to her again, and it was too late when she saw the door closed and wanted to block it.

"Hey, wait... you... this..."

Looking at the closed door, Zhou Rui's family went to Mrs. Wang's sedan chair with a bitter face.

"Mrs……"

"Well, Mrs. Meng came out to greet her." Mrs. Wang stretched out a hand from the sedan chair and tried to get out of the sedan chair.

"Ma'am, the door said that their wife is not at home and has gone out to visit. They also said that we should send greeting cards before visiting." Zhou Rui's family timidly did not dare to look at Mrs. Wang's face, and lowered their heads, waiting for Mrs. Wang to get angry. scold.

"Okay, okay, hello Lin Ruhai, hello Mengshi, let's go back to the house."

Mrs. Wang, who had already stepped out of the sedan chair, was so angry that she turned around and entered the sedan chair and threw the curtain to let people pick up the sedan chair and go back to Rongguo Mansion.

Not to mention that Mrs. Wang was annoyed and returned to Rongguo Mansion, but that Jia Baoyu wanted to see the peerless beauty of Sister Tianxian with anticipation and excitement, and never wanted to go back without even seeing the hospital.Jia Baoyu returned to Rongguo Mansion with a look of displeasure on his face. He immediately went to see Jiamu, and sued his mother, Mrs. Wang, at Jiamu's place. Mrs. Wang was called by Jiamu and scolded again.

Mrs. Wang didn't know that her son had sued her, but even if she knew, she wouldn't be angry with her son. She would only push the matter to the Lin family, thinking that it was because of the Lin family that she was scolded by the old lady Well, Mrs. Wang hated the Lin family very much.She also didn't want to think that it was she herself who didn't ask someone to send the greeting card first, but blindly thought it was someone else's fault.

Mrs. Wang, she has always only wanted to take advantage of others and let others do things for her, and she still takes it for granted. If you don’t do things for her or give her benefits, you are wrong; it is others who are wrong, and she is always right; it can be said Mrs. Wang's psychology is completely distorted.

Although she hated the Lin family very much, but thinking of the daughter in the palace, Mrs. Wang, someone sent a post to the Lin family, but she didn't care about the convenience of others and said that she would come to visit tomorrow and emphasized that the Meng family must wait at home, and It also used a commanding tone.

That afternoon, Mrs. Meng returned to the Lin Mansion with five children and saw the post sent by Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Meng laughed angrily.Meng Shi called Meng Yan to let her read the post sent by Mrs. Wang.

"Yan'er, don't you think that Mrs. Wang is an idiot? Is someone posting like this?" Looking at the tone of this post, it's a post. It's an imperial decree, and Mrs. Meng couldn't help complaining in her heart. .

"Mother, Mrs. Wang is not a fool. She is too confident. The wife in charge of the Duke's Mansion is obviously overconfident. There is a saying that is shameless and invincible. A person like Mrs. Wang." Meng Yan always felt that this sentence was perfect to describe Mrs. Wang.

If it wasn't for the thick skin and shamelessness, he would come directly to the door without delivering the post, if it wasn't for the shamelessness, he could always live in the main house and drive Xijue's uncle out of the stable.

In the Lin Mansion, the Meng family could only talk to Meng Yan about the Jia Mansion, because Lin Daiyu, the Meng family and Meng Yan had always paid attention to the Jia Mansion.

"Mother, we have made an appointment to go to the Zhou Mansion tomorrow. We can't break our promise. As for Mrs. Wang, please ignore her. You can just reply to a post and ask her to visit again in ten days and a half months, and find an excuse." Push, push, push."

After thinking about it for a while, Meng felt that her daughter's way of procrastinating was good. Anyway, she didn't like to see people in Jia's house, so she sent a post to Jia's house as Meng Yan said.Mrs. Wang of Rongguo Mansion was so angry when she saw the reply.Mrs. Wang took the post to see Jia Mu, and Jia Mu was immediately angry.

"Since the Meng family is too busy to entertain guests or take care of Yu'er, you can go to the Lin family tomorrow and say that I miss my granddaughter and bring my Yu'er."
