Qinglian in the Red Chamber

"I've seen this sister before!"

As soon as these words came out, there was no sound in the east wing room.

Daiyu frowned slightly, ignored Jia Baoyu, turned around and said goodbye to Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng.

But Lin Han said: "My younger sister looks the most like my mother. My mother is also the younger sister of my uncles. It is inevitable that this family looks different. Cousin Baoyu seems to be kind-hearted because of this."

It's better to get rid of what Jia Baoyu said, otherwise it will be spread, and it will be Daiyu's sister who will be talked about.

When the others heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

Jia Baoyu was about to say something, but Jia Zheng sternly stopped him.

Mrs. Zhang hugged Daiyu and left with a distressed look on her face. Jia Baoyu from the second uncle's house really dared to say anything.Last time, he offended the prince, but this time he actually ruined the girl's reputation.

"Yu'er, don't take it to heart. That Baoyu is the most evil child, and he only knows how to be stubborn on weekdays. No one will believe what he said..." Zhang said coaxing Daiyu, not without heartache.

Daiyu's two nuns, Yanjin, followed her with dark faces, and even the four maidservants looked unkind.

They were standing outside the house just now, and they really heard Jia Baoyu's words.

If Lin Han hadn't made up his mind afterwards, the two foster nuns planned to rush into the house at that time.The master humiliated the minister to death!Never expected that under their care, the girl would suffer such grievances in her uncle's house!If Yikun Palace or Lord Jiu knew about it, everyone would have no way out.

Mrs. Zhang didn't blame the Lin family's servants standing there with a dark face and feeling cold all over. If her daughter was pointed at the nose by a foreign man and said "good face", she would also have the heart to strangle him to death.It's just that the most important thing about this matter right now is to keep it secret, so that people can't spread the word.As for Jia Baoyu, of course someone will take care of him.

"Hey, why is the eldest daughter-in-law here? Didn't I tell you not to come here?" Mother Jia asked.

Jia Min also smiled and looked at Mrs. Zhang, but she noticed that Daiyu's expression was not right, and the maids and nuns who followed her daughter also looked very bad.

"Daughter-in-law, isn't she reluctant to part with her niece? Besides, I don't feel relieved to ask the wives to send it back. Why don't I just send it back in person?" Zhang said with a smile, but the gloomy look in her eyes couldn't be hidden Mrs. Jia, who has been shrewd all her life, and the servants of the Lin family who are serving her are all suffocating. Does it not feel like her old lady?

It's just that Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything, and it's not easy for Jia's mother to break the casserole and ask the end. She just wanted to ask Yuanyang to inquire later, but who has offended Daiyu.

"Thank you sister-in-law." Jia Min smiled gently.

Holding Daiyu in front of him, Jia Min said to Zhang Shi again: "My Yu'er was pampered and raised by me since she was a child. If she has any impoliteness, please ask my sister-in-law to take care of her."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Yu'er is very well-behaved and sensible. I can't wait to snatch her here and raise her as my own daughter."

"My wife said so. It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful person as Cousin Lin. Looking at her overall demeanor, she doesn't look like the granddaughter of the ancestors. She is clearly the granddaughter of the ancestors' direct relatives." Wang Xifeng is the best at observing words and expressions.Zhang's expression fell into her eyes, although she didn't know what happened in her heart.In the end, it is more important to help my mother-in-law to coax the old lady.

Jiamu smiled happily.

"Yu'er, come to grandma." Mother Jia beckoned to Daiyu.

Daiyu's mood has changed a bit at this time, it is not in her own home after all, she also knows not to be too petty.

"Grandmother..." Daiyu snuggled into Jiamu's arms and called out tenderly.

Mother Jia looked at the smiling little man in her arms, there was still a little tear in those eyes that looked so much like Jia Min, and the old lady's heart melted.

"Yuanyang, go and bring the red sandalwood box I kept in the cabinet to Yu'er."

The mandarin ducks went away, and after a while, they came out holding an excellent red sandalwood box.

Jia Mu took the box from Yuanyang and opened it.I saw a coral bracelet lying in the box.Mother Jia said to Daiyu with a bit of nostalgia: "This is the red coral in the South China Sea. It is cool and refreshing in summer. It was my favorite thing when I was young. Now that I am old, I can't carry such a beautiful coral." If it’s not a color thing, it’s better for Yu’er to wear it to look good.”

Jia Min remembered the string of coral bracelets.He smiled and said, "Yu'er is still young. Mother should save a few for Yingchun and the others."

"Hey, I don't have enough for them? This is what I specially left for Yu'er, not for you." Jia Mu said to Jia Min in disbelief, and then turned to Daiyu and said, "Yu'er just take the money." That's right. When your mother got married, I didn't give this to her as a dowry. She was jealous. Let's ignore her. "

Jia Min listened to Jia's mother's ridicule, and she was really laughing and neither was she annoyed.

Even Daiyu was so teased by Jiamu that her eyes crooked into smiles, and the dimples on her cheeks made her look even more delicate and cute.

There was even Wang Xifeng gagging there, lamenting: "Oh, cousin Lin is here, and we are all burnt papers. How can the ancestors think of us..."

"You splashing monkey, splashing monkey..." Jia Mu pointed at Wang Xifeng and scolded with a smile.

All the girls were also laughing together, only Madam Wang who was sitting in the corner was twirling the prayer beads in her hand blankly.

At noon, Mrs. Xu came over and said that the noodles were ready.

Jia's mother asked, "Is your father-in-law ready for dinner?"

Xu said yes.

Then Jia Mu took Daiyu's hand and went to eat.

While waiting for everyone to have tea and talk after the meal, Jia Min asked Zhuran Meixiang to bring the presents and so on, and distributed them to everyone according to the sticks on the box.Sanchun's things are all high-quality head and face jewelry, exquisite makeup powder and some small things that girls often play with. These head and face jewelry can be used as dowry by girls in the future.For Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang, there are some cloth and jewelry.Sister Feng and Li Wan have almost all of these things.Jia's mother looked at a standing statue of Avalokitesvara presented by Jia Min. The handwriting of the famous Dehua Kiln was specially enshrined in front of the Avalokitesvara statue on Mount Putuo.In addition, there is an agarwood crutch, which is a good thing.

Jia Mu said, "It's rare to see your heart."

After finishing speaking, Mother Jia sighed deeply, and continued: "Not long after you got married, my uncle was released to the south of the Yangtze River by an imperial decree. It has been so many years. I thought I would never see you again in this life. Not only did I see you, but I also saw your child. My sincerity in burning incense and chanting in front of the Buddha is not in vain..."

Jia Mu and Jia Min were crying and laughing while talking affectionately there.Sister Feng was by their side, persuading and coaxing once, serving tea and handing handkerchiefs.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xu still have a lot of things to take care of.After eating, he left.

Daiyu was accompanied by Sanchun and sat at the Eight Immortals table to talk, and the maids and women followed her and waited on her, and she was very happy.

The only one who didn't fit in was Mrs. Wang who was sitting in the corner as the background.Her complexion was not good, she was faintly haggard, she sat there alone, ignoring no one, she just twirled the prayer beads in her hand, muttering something.

Daiyu is a very sensitive person.Although she was talking to Sanchun, she could feel the chilling malice coming from Mrs. Wang.

Although Daiyu felt in her heart that being watched by Mrs. Wang was very uncomfortable, she did not show any signs of dew on her face.

"The Biaojie circle is unique. It's not as tacky as ours." Xichun and Daiyu were about the same age.Both of them have unpretentious temperaments.After just getting along for a while, it was already very easy to talk to.

Daiyu smiled lightly, and was about to speak when she heard footsteps, and then the Xiang curtain at the door was lifted.

"The grandson has come to pay respects to the old ancestor." It was Jia Baoyu who couldn't help but passed on the message from the maid outside the door.He went into the house on his own.

"Old ancestor, grandson misses you..."

After finishing speaking, Jia Baoyu got into Jia Mu's arms and acted like a baby.

Jia Min, who was sitting next to Jia Mu, frowned, his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

As early as when Jia Baoyu broke in, Daiyu got up and hid behind the foster mother, but she was very annoyed by this form.

Sanchun looked at each other in blank dismay.Yingchun frowned, Tanchun lowered his eyebrows, and Xichun gave Jia Baoyu a hard look.

When Mrs. Wang saw Jia Baoyu.But his eyes lit up, and he murmured: "My precious jade, my precious jade, my precious jade..."

Jia's mother was also dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu's trespassing, but she didn't reprimand him, she just said: "There are guests here, why don't you go see your aunt soon?"

Jia Baoyu followed Jia Mu's line of sight.Seeing a kind and gentle wife sitting beside Jia Mu, he guessed that it must be Aunt Lin, so he hurried forward to say hello to Jia Min.

Jia Min smiled and said that the child was good-looking, but the smile on his face never caught his eyes.

Seeing Jia Min's beautiful face and gentle voice, Jia Baoyu felt that Sister Lin was worthy of being her aunt's daughter, she was absolutely stunning.

After meeting Jia Min, Jia Baoyu raised his eyes and looked around the room, and suddenly rushed to the side happily.

Daiyu was hiding behind the foster mother, but Jia Baoyu suddenly appeared beside her.

"My sister told me it's easy to find." Jia Baoyu laughed.

Jia Baoyu rushed over so fast that the two nuns Yanjin couldn't stop her.It's just that now that people have arrived in front of Daiyu, if they want to go forward to separate the two of them, there will be traces.The two nuns, Yan and Jin, gritted their teeth secretly, and stared at Jia Baoyu, for fear that he would offend their daughter again.

Daiyu was not as pleasant to Jia Baoyu as she was to Sanchun, which made Jia Baoyu very sad.He always liked to be with Zhong Lingyuxiu girls, Daiyu was beautiful, her temperament was even more elegant, coupled with the vague sense of familiarity, Jia Baoyu liked this little cousin even more.

It's just that Daiyu was just lukewarm to Jia Baoyu, asking and answering every question.But when she turned her head to Sanchun, Daiyu chatted happily with them, smiling like a flower.

Jia Baoyu was sad, he didn't understand why this fairy-like sister in front of her was so indifferent to her.Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and said to Daiyu: "Does my younger sister have words? Why don't I give my sister a wonderful word, and the word 'twinkle' is wonderful!"
