Jia Baoyu saw Jia Yun refute the face of his ancestors in public, and he still remembered the coldness on Jia Yun's body in his memory.Hearing this, I had no choice but to agree, and just said, "Then I'll ask the kitchen to make more of her favorite food for my sister."

Mrs. Wang saw her son ran out as if fascinated, she snorted without a trace, and looked at the corner of the roof.

Xue Baochai didn't object when she saw Mrs. Wang, so she said she was going to write a post, and went out from Rongxi Hall.After leaving the gate of Rongxi Hall, Xue Baochai's heart was beating violently.

Her thoughts were deeper than Yingchun's.She knew that Lin Daiyu would not refuse her visit, and if she could get Jia Yun's help, it would not be a problem for her to enter the palace and become the lord of the first palace.

Even if you can't enter the palace later, Ming Palace is still a good place... As for Tanchun, hmph.

When Daiyu received Xue Baochai's decals, she was still happy.Thinking of the sisters in the house who always play together on weekdays, but now they really want to see each other.

During lunch, she and Mrs. Bu ate at the mansion, and Jia Yun was left in the palace again.The couple had already gotten used to it, and they didn't pay as much attention to eating together as the Rongguo Mansion's family, which required twenty or thirty dishes to eat.For two people, four meat, four vegetables, two soups and two side dishes are enough.

During the meal, sister Lin told Mrs. Bu about Xue Baochai's post to visit, and she just waited for her to make a decision.Mrs. Bu smiled and said: "This is your home too, just call the sisters to keep you company if you have nothing to do. Just let Zijuan and Xueyan arrange it."

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, feeling very happy in her heart.

Mrs. Bu thought of the four palace maids, eight maidservants, and twelve second-class maidservants sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs yesterday.I haven't rowed to Daiyu's yard yet, so I just wanted to ask: "According to everyone, there are four maids in your yard, but according to the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the county master must have at least six big maids to serve him. Call them in later and you can pick and choose."

Daiyu nodded slightly.

After dinner, Mrs. Bu called everyone in.It is said that Mrs. Bu was originally a lady from a small family, but she married into the family of Rongguo Mansion and suffered enough losses from servants. Now that she is the master, she can't tolerate sand in her eyes.Brother Yun worked hard outside, and he sacrificed his life to get what he is now.How can the mansion be less disciplined like the Rongguo mansion, and let the slaves bully the master in everything.

Lin Daiyu saw that the girls in front of her were all very good, so she really didn't know how to choose.It's just that Mrs. Bu Wei sits in the main seat and carefully chooses for her.

"Your brother said that the nanny specially selected them to discipline you in words and deeds and deacons. They were all selected old people in the palace. They are very safe. You just accept them. You can choose the other people sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Use it if you don’t need it, just change it back. Don’t think about anything else, the most important thing is to get a favor. If someone dares to say something to you that is not good, or do something that is not good, just tell him and wait for him Come back and kick their butts."

Lin Daiyu's cheeks flushed slightly when she thought that she had such an elder brother who was proficient in poetry and painting, as well as literary and military skills, and heard such rascal words from a serious person on weekdays.

We selected two who could read a few words, two who were able to embroider well, and two who were smart in speaking and doing things, and stayed.The others were rewarded with purses and sent back.

Mrs. Bu saw that Daiyu had her own ideas in talking and doing things, so she didn't say much.On the other hand, Zijuan and Xueyan felt a little anxious when they saw six more maids of the same first class.

At night, Daiyu specially called the two of them to her side, comforted them well, and told them that they were always the front in her heart, which made the two girls feel more at ease.It's just that the service during the day and night is more careful and dedicated.

On the second day, Lin Daiyu replied to Xue Baochai's post, telling her that since celebrating the Cold Food Festival together, it is better to invite all the sisters in the mansion to celebrate the festival together, and let's have fun.

When the day came, they had breakfast at Rongguo Mansion early in the morning. Knowing that the girls were going, the old matriarch and Mrs. Wang sent Zhou Rui's family's chariots and horses ready to go.Li Wan led Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun and Xue Baochai, together with the servant girls and escorted servants, a party of three or forty people arrived in large carts and horses.

Prince Ming's Mansion is some distance away from Rongguo Mansion, but it is not far from Tingtao Garden, not far from the Imperial City, and the grounds are not so good.And it occupies a very large area, including the four main streets of Mingnan, Mingbei, Mingxi, and Mingdong.

In front of the palace, there is a golden nanmu flat forehead hanging high on the top of the vermilion lacquered gate, on which the words "Ming Wangfu" are written in dragons and phoenixes.It was the handwriting of the current Holy Majesty, and there were four royal guards standing on the left and right of the door, holding official sticks. They were thick-backed and burly-backed, and they didn't look sideways. Just standing still gave people a strong sense of oppression.

Zhou Rui's family was sent by Mrs. Wang to accompany the young ladies to wait on them, thinking that she was the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion, although she was worried, she still walked up to a guard at the far end with a handkerchief, and was about to put it on. Almost talking, suddenly shouted angrily: "Prince Ming's private residence, An waits for you to approach! Get out!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his official staff resolutely!

Zhou Rui's family had never seen such a battle before, so he took a few steps back in fright, accidentally stepped on the air and fell to the ground, rolling a few times.

Ladies can't make a sound in the carriage, but Xue Baochai has good ears and eyes, knowing that Zhou Rui's family is not used to the rules, so he stretched out his arms from the curtain of the carriage and handed out a greeting card.

The person on duty in the concierge came out to take a look, hey, the people of Rongguo Mansion didn't care who the one with the white sleeves and white arms was. "Miss said, please come in when the girls from Rongguo Mansion are here. Open the east side door."

"Open the east side door~"

Several young ladies entered from the east side door. After a while, they listened to someone outside talking to Zhou Rui's family, and asked them to change into small sedan chairs to enter the back.So they got out of the car one after another and changed into small sedan chairs carried by two people, and they were carried closer to the inner courtyard.

The few people were carried silently in the sedan chair for a long time, only Xue Baochai estimated the time, and it was more than twice as long as when they first entered Rongguo Mansion.

After getting off the sedan chair, Xichun saw Daiyu jumping with joy at a glance. Under the weeping willow arch bridge, isn't the slim lady Lin sister?Surrounded by many personal servants, besides the Zijuan and Xueyan they knew, there were also the same four maidservants dressed as first-class maids to accompany and serve them.

After a few steps, there are four other nuns accompanying them, their clothes are different from those in the Rongguo Mansion, after a closer look, aren't the four nuns all wearing palace-made embroidered robes?At the moment, there is jealousy and envy.The rest of the people also saw that the doorway was coming, but silently turned their eyes elsewhere.

Xue Baochai watched Lin Daiyu's surroundings intently, seeing her pursing her lips and smiling as Xichun walked towards her quickly, her whole demeanor was aloof, and her complexion improved a little.

It was rare for the sisters to get together again, Lin Daiyu graciously led them to the garden of the inner courtyard, where a lot of fresh and rare melons and fruits were prepared, as well as cold snacks from the imperial dining room brought back by Jia Yun from the palace.

Several young ladies entered the garden and couldn't help looking left and right.It's the time when the flowers are blooming in spring. In the garden, the flowers are red, the willows are green, and the birds are competing to sing.

The girls don't understand it, they just look at the beauty, Baochai is the only one looking at the golden flower tree, on the tree that can only be embraced by four or five people, there are thousands of dove-white flowers with golden stamens in full bloom, this is the queen of tea among flowers. .. In a few days, the young leaves will be filled with clear rain, and one or two leaves will be worth ten taels of gold.

"My sister is so lucky to live here. This tree is worth a lot of money. I looked at the tree that was originally found in Nanyang, but I didn't expect to see it in my sister's garden thousands of miles away." Xue Baochai said with a smile.

Lin Daiyu just listened to this and felt awkward, she did live here, and Mrs. Bu had always told her to treat this place as her home, but she didn't like it when she said it out loud and asked about it like a philistine.

Lin Daiyu took her Sichuan embroidered round fan and patted away the petals that fell beside her, and said with a smile:

"Naturally, it is precious. I just saw it in the book. I had dinner with my godmother that day and said that on my birthday, there happened to be a golden flower tree that bloomed during the Flower Festival. It only blooms for one day on that day in January every year. Said Coincidentally, my brother came back from court that day and told me that there was a treasure for me, which was a tribute from Nanyang Xiaguo. Thinking that it coincided with my birthday, I asked the Lord Long Live to ask for it. He called me for a while. Look at it, you say it’s a coincidence, is it difficult?”

Xue Baochai tilted her head and laughed along with her. Xichun was the most lively. She jumped to Lin Daiyu's side and said, "It doesn't mean that it only blooms during the Flower Festival. Why is it that the Cold Food Festival is also open now? Could it be that we sisters came, it When you are happy, it blooms, right?"

"The people in the garden said that because of the warm weather here, its flowering period has been longer. Otherwise, I will really do what you said, praying under the tree every night, hoping that the flowers will bloom when you come. "Lin Daiyu said with a smile.

Zhou Rui's family didn't know what to think, and suddenly interrupted with a smile: "My wife came back from the palace before, and she also said that the old sage gave my concubine a pot of golden magnolia flowers."

Lin Daiyu just smiled and said nothing when she heard this, and Xichun didn't even look at her, can this be compared?Continue to have fun with Sister Lin.

To welcome the spring, Tanchun just didn't seem to hear it, and looked around the rare landscape in the garden.

Take five or six steps lightly to the veranda, which passes through the pond where lotus leaves and red carp play in the water, and connects to the hexagonal pavilion with flying eaves.The tip of the pavilion is deeply surrounded by light gauze, and there is a kind of tranquility that comforts people's hearts with the wind.

Walking back and forth, fruit food has already been arranged inside.

Xichun jumped over first, she was the youngest and had a good relationship with Sister Lin, so naturally she didn't have to think about those tricks, she just looked around and played.
