Love of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

Chapter 25 Welcome to Spring

Here Daiyu received the invitation, and happily went to ask Mrs. Jia for instructions.Because the Zhong family sent someone to invite her several times before, and Daiyu was sick, and the Zhong family gave gifts and helped hire a doctor. Mrs. Jia noticed it.This time, as soon as Daiyu opened her mouth, she agreed to Daiyu's going out.

Yingchun has not yet had a good fortune, and she has a good relationship with Daiyu. She asked the old lady if she could go with her. The old lady was being coaxed by Baoyu, so she agreed casually.

Daiyu was delighted to see Yingchun, and she had nothing to disagree with.

The two dressed up a bit on the second day, and took the maid and mother-in-law to the Zhongzhai in a carriage.

"My sister is here, my mother is watching you." Zhong Chu had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when Yingchun saw Zhong Chu, she was taken aback.

Although Zhong Chu's face was dark, he didn't look fierce, but he was too tall, and the two of them felt a sense of oppression as soon as they got off the carriage to welcome the Spring Festival.Subconsciously approaching Daiyu, she didn't feel frightened.

"Brother Zhong!" Daiyu saluted politely and called out sweetly. "This is sister Yingchun from my uncle's family, sister, and this is brother Zhong Chu, my father's apprentice."

Zhong Chu glanced lightly, Yingchun froze for a moment, and nodded awkwardly.

"Let's all go in, the sun will shine later." He welcomed the two of them in and sent them to Mother Zhong.

Mother Zhong is as enthusiastic as ever, Daiyu has long been used to it, but Yingchun is a little restless.

The sisters in Jia's house have always had a hard time going out, so they met Shi Xiangyun from the historian family. Shi Xiangyun always followed Baoyu's elder brother and Baoyu's younger brother, and didn't get along well with them. Baoyu really annoyed her, so she was kind and affectionate Some call them sisters and sisters.

Yingchun is Jia She's concubine daughter, even if she is a concubine daughter, she is also the daughter of a first-class general, her status is comparable to Tanchun Xichun and Shi Xiangyun's.Wang Xifeng was still rushing to curry favor with the big house, but she didn't know that the big house was supposed to be the master of the house, and Jia Zheng followed Jia Mu to live in Rongxitang, so what happened!

On weekdays, the old lady Jia let the Sanchun sisters play together, and all of them were concubines in Yingchun and Tanchun, but Xichun was Jia Jing's daughter, but she was raised in Rongguo Mansion since she was a child.Yingchun's temperament is weak and deceitful, and Daiyu saw her being deceived by the servant girl several times and comforted the servant girl in turn.

A girl is not a girl, and a maid is not a maid.

Daiyu is not the kind of person who likes to show off, so she only asked Caiyun's mother to teach those maids a lesson, Yingchun didn't know what to do and came to plead for mercy, she was unhappy and didn't care about her.

Mother Zhong asked them to take a few small jewelry and let them pick out whatever they wanted, and they would put it back on whichever one they liked.

Yingchun's original intention was to go out to visit Jia's mansion, but now she also felt that it was very abrupt to follow Daiyu to someone else's house.

Mother Zhong saw that she was nervous and didn't point it out. Her eyes signaled the maids to be smart and not to disturb this young lady Jiao.

Under Zhong's mother's enthusiasm and the indiscriminate hospitality of the maid and mother-in-law, Yingchun gradually calmed down and began to look around.

The two of them had just been led by Zhong Chu all the way to the main courtyard where Zhong's mother was. She was so anxious just now that she didn't pay attention to the surroundings.This will take a look at the layout of the main courtyard. Although each decoration is not expensive, it is exquisite. The landscape pictures hanging on the wall are the hands of everyone.

Yingchun was secretly startled, when Daiyu came here, she only said that Zhong's family was a farmer with some spare cash, and if they could buy a house in the capital, they would have a lot of spare cash!

Daiyu picked out a pair of tender blue velvet flowers, seeing that Yingchun was distracted, she decided to choose a pair of orange ones for her, and asked her servants to put them away for her.Mother Zhong gave each of them a small jade pendant to play with. Since Yingchun was here, she didn't give Daiyu anything more.

The eating habits of the Zhong family were inherited from their hometown. They drank soup before meals and did not drink tea directly after meals. They just rinsed their mouths with water and prepared warm water for drinking.

Yingchun was not used to it for a while, but seeing Daiyu's accustomed appearance, she gradually relaxed.

The three chatted happily, Zhong Muxing mentioned that the wife of Qian's family next door will hold a flower banquet in the future, and she received an invitation from Mrs. Qian today, inviting her to come and enjoy the flowers.There is also a daughter at home. Her family has a seven-year-old daughter who is bored on weekdays and wants to find some little sisters to play with.

Mother Zhong asked Daiyu to wait for her to pick her up in the morning the next day, and then went to Qian's Mansion with her.

Yingchun was envious when she heard that, Mother Zhong and her were neither related nor related, so how could she take her there together.

"Sister Ying will be with Yu'er in the future. It will be lively when there are more girls. Mrs. Qian is used to being lively, and sister Ying is also a symbol. Mrs. Qian may like it more." It doesn't matter if you bring one more, Yingchun As the only daughter of a first-class general, Qian's mansion is also available. "The old lady, I entrusted someone to say, she is the most kind-hearted, and she will be happy for you to go out and make friends with everyone."

Listening to Zhong's mother's words, Yingchun knew that she was so well prepared, so she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Daiyu just smiled and nodded beside her. She is a delicate person, so she doesn't understand Yingchun's worries.They are still young now, and they need to be taken by adults when they go out to play.Mother Zhong was also afraid that she would be bored, so she tried her best to find her sisters and playmates.

"That's it, I'll pick you up later."

Hou Zhong's mother sent the two sisters back to Jia's mansion, and brought gifts to visit Mrs. Jia.

The mandarin duck next to the old lady didn't recognize Zhong Mu, who was wearing a seemingly plain material but high-quality silk and satin. The linnet dot emerald head on her head was very valuable, and she acted in a dignified manner. official family.Yuanyang didn't dare to neglect, so she went to report to the old lady, saying that a lady surnamed Zhong had sent Daiyu and Yingchun back, and she would be waiting outside the door to visit her.

Mrs. Jia heard that her surname was Zhong and sent Daiyu and the others back. She must be the mother of Lin Ruhai's beloved disciple, so she asked Yuanyang to invite her in.

"Hello, old lady. I'm Mrs. Zhong's family on Yongding Road." With a smile on her face, Mother Zhong politely reported her family name.

"On Yongding Road?" Mrs. Jia was contemplating, and asked Mother Zhong to show her a seat and said, "Why do you live on Yongding Road? That's the land of military officers."

"We came in a hurry and there were a lot of people in the family. There are very good houses around the road, so we bought it after thinking about it." Mother Zhong explained the reason for putting the house there, and then chatted with Mother Jia about homework. Daoming's intention.

"I came here today to ask the old lady for something," Mother Zhong thought about her words.

"If you need to come to the door to ask for something in person, how can a family speak two words?"

Mother Zhong smiled and refused to answer these words, and said: "In the future, Mrs. Qian's Mansion invited me to take my daughter to the mansion to enjoy the flowers. I was going to bring Yu'er. Today I met Sister Ying, and I feel that Yu'er is alone. It would be too boring to go, I thought to ask the old lady, let Yingjie go to the banquet with us."

"Qian Mansion? Is it General Qian's Mansion on Yongding Road?"

"It's General Qian's Mansion, Meng's Mrs. Qian didn't dislike it, and sent me a post for an ordinary woman."

Mother Zhong and Mrs. Qian are actually old friends, but not many people know about it.

"It's just a banquet. It's not a big deal. It's fine to send someone to talk about it. It's not worth visiting yourself." Mrs. Jia said, but she was extremely satisfied with Zhong's mother.Although the Jia Mansion looked rich and honorable, the Qian Mansion actually did not give way too much. It was all the feats of the men in the family who broke through with swords and guns.

"You don't need to pick them up in the future, I sent someone to take them there."

"Thank you, old lady, old lady is kind."

After finishing the business, Mrs. Zhong stood up and said goodbye. Mrs. Jia asked her to stay for dinner before leaving. Mrs. Zhong refused, saying that she was the only one in charge of the family, and the maids and mother-in-law were not up to the task, and she had to go back to take care of the family's food.

Old lady Jia was just being polite, and after hearing what she said, she asked Yingge to send her out.

At this time, Yingchun was waiting to speak in Daiyu's yard.

"Sister Lin, is that black-faced and cold-faced man really Uncle's apprentice?" Yingchun still had lingering fears when she thought of Zhong Chu's cold face.

"Brother Zhong looks cold, but in fact he is the most soft-hearted." Daiyu cut off the silk thread in her hand, carefully checking if there was any missed cut.

"I'm a little afraid of him," Yingchun said frankly.

Daiyu was taken aback, put the prepared wormwood into the embroidered purse, and turned her head to look at Yingchun in confusion.

"But I envy you. He looks at you with gentle eyes, and Aunt Zhong looks at you too." Yingchun lowered her eyelids a little depressed.She has been with Mrs. Jia since she was a child. Her father walks the dog and teases the cat all day long, and her wife doesn't care about other things.The old lady treasured Baoyu, they looked glamorous, but they were poor people who no one cared about.

"Auntie is the most kind. She treats girls like jewels and treasures. When we see you more, she will treat you well." Daiyu comforted. "When my father comes to Beijing to report on his work, I will show you my wife. She is also a warm-hearted person." Thinking of her own wife, Daiyu couldn't help but think of her mother, her nose soured but she held back.

I don't know how my father is, how is my wife?

Daiyu wanted to write a family letter to Lin Ruhai just thinking about it, but Yingchun was here, so she couldn't do it now.Suppress the thoughts in my heart, and talk to Yingchun.
