Be a maid in the red mansion [Comprehensive]

"The sedan chair stopped outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion. Outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion, there were a group of servants standing or sitting in silk and satin. There were men and women. Some of them recognized the sedan chair of the Lin family and immediately turned around and rushed into the mansion. inside."

"Uncle Lin is here, Uncle Lin is here..."

"Before getting out of the sedan chair, Jiang Wanyin heard shouts and chaotic footsteps coming towards the sedan chair, and then heard the voices of servants chattering."

"Uncle Lin/Miss Lin, please get off the sedan chair..."

The family got off the sedan chair and stood at the outer gate of Rongguo Mansion.

"Looking at the familiar big characters of Chizao Rongguo Mansion, Jiang Wanyin felt a little emotional, and it was just a little emotional. After several reincarnations, the feelings that were stripped and extracted have long since left no trace."

"And Lin Ruhai frowned when he saw Rongguo Mansion open the main entrance in the middle to greet him."

"Uncle Lin, please."

"This is the Duke's mansion bestowed by the sages. Only nobles above the Duke and above and imperial edicts can pass through the middle gate. This official is only a second-rank official. How dare you walk through the middle gate of the Duke's mansion? Please also open the door to enter the house."

"Lin Ruhai's words immediately stunned the servants of the Rongguo Mansion. I don't know how many times the middle door has been opened over the years, but no one has ever mentioned that it is wrong to open the middle door. The last time the middle door was opened was my wife's sister Xue. When my aunt came to Rongguo Mansion, the Xue family was still a businessman, so it was much lower than the Lin family, and the Xue family would not go through the middle door as usual. The Xue family doesn't have so many things."

"Uncle Lin, our Rongguo Mansion is not so particular, please hurry up, the old lady is still waiting for you and Miss Lin."

"The servants of the Rongguo Mansion are used to being superior, and they don't hide their impatience and disgust in front of Lin Ruhai."

"In the mind of the master of Rongguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion is the largest in the entire capital except for the royal relatives and the princes in the capital. It is said that if there is a master, there must be a servant. The master thinks so, and the slaves of Rongguo Mansion think the same way. "

Lin Ruhai almost laughed angrily when he heard this.

"My official position is low and I am not worthy to walk through the middle gate of this country's government. Since it is inconvenient to open the Yimen of your mansion, then that's all. I will not bother you."

As a servant of the Ministry of Rites, he should be familiar with the country's etiquette laws, how could he commit crimes knowingly.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai turned around and was about to board the sedan chair and leave, the servants of Rongguo Mansion hurriedly stopped Lin Ruhai.

"Uncle Lin wait a minute."

"Uncle Lin, I'm just a slave who really doesn't know these rules. Please wait a moment, I will go in and ask my masters for instructions, and I will come as soon as I go."

The servant turned around and rushed back to Rongguo Mansion.

Looking at the servant who ran into Rongguo Mansion through the middle gate, Lin Ruhai shook his head.

"Rongguo Mansion was not like this 20 years ago."

Rongguo Mansion was not like this when he visited 20 years ago, and 20 years later, things have changed.

"Master, aren't you joking? Rong Guogong was still there 20 years ago, so it's naturally different."

"Yes."

Duke Rong is gone, and this Rongguo Mansion is no longer Rongguo Mansion.

Jiang Wanyin looked at the gate of Rongguo Mansion with a sarcasm on her lips.

What did the Rongguo Mansion say about the rules? That is, when Rong Guogong Jia Daishan was around, the Rongguo Mansion was the head of the Jia Shi family, and they didn't pay attention to the rules.Mrs. Zhang paid attention to rules, but it was a pity that she married into this man-eating Rongguo Mansion and died unjustly in this Rongguo Mansion.

But she said that Mother Jia in Rongqingtang was waiting for Lin Ruhai to come to see her, and she had to send someone to report that Uncle Lin was coming, but she waited for a long time and no one came in.When I was about to urge you to go down and have a look, I heard the servant Ding beg to see me.

"Where is Uncle Lin? Where is he?"

Ask servant Ding to come in and Jia Mu will ask.

"Back to the old lady, Mrs. Lin said that only the Duke, the nobles and the imperial decree can go through the middle gate of the Duke's mansion. He also said that he is just a second-rank official who dare not open the middle gate of the Duke's mansion and let the servants open the ceremony." The door, servants and others dare not make decisions without authorization, so they can only come to ask the old lady for instructions."

As soon as servant Ding finished speaking, the faces of Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue's mother and daughter changed. Everyone else looked at the three of them in unison, and Mother Jia also raised her eyelids to look at the three of them.

Mrs. Xing pinched her handkerchief to cover her mouth and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin is worthy of being the servant of the Ministry of Rites. He knows the rules of the country. How can we say that our Rongguo Mansion is also the mansion of the Duke of the State. Anyone can leave this gate casually. Even the old man and the second master in our house dare not go in and out of the middle door at will."

As soon as Madam Xing said this, Aunt Xue's mother and daughter's expressions became even more ugly. Xue Baochai had a stiff smile on his face, and the handkerchief in his hand was already torn.

Mrs. Xing's words were coincidental, she praised Lin Ruhai and Jia pardoned Jia Zheng, but mocked Aunt Xue's mother and daughter who entered the mansion through the middle door, and Mrs. Wang who opened the middle door to welcome Aunt Xue's mother and daughter, and others did not know the rules of state etiquette .

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue have always maintained that they were born in a wealthy family and did not look down on Mrs. Xing who was born in a small family. Now Mrs. Xing said that she did not know the national etiquette and had an ugly face. Mrs. Wang glared at Mrs. Xing fiercely.

In the past between Madam Xing and Madam Wang, Mother Jia turned to Madam Wang, but today Mother Jia did not speak for Madam Wang nor scold Madam Xing.Mrs. Geinwang wanted to match Xue Baochai with Jia Baoyu, Jia Mu's darling, but Jia Mu didn't agree.

But in the end it was Gu Zai and there were outsiders, Jia Muhu said with a straight face:

"Okay, stop talking."

"Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and open the Yimen Gate to invite Young Master Lin into the mansion. Then send someone to ask the Elder Master and the Second Master to welcome Young Master Lin."

Mother Jia ordered, and servant Ding hurriedly took the order and withdrew.

It turned out that Mother Jia didn't let Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng welcome Lin Ruhai, but because of this, she asked Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng to welcome Lin Ruhai.

"Old lady, Mrs. Lin will be here soon. Do you want my daughter-in-law to take Yingchun to the back? After all, the men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven. Mrs. Lin is also a foreigner. You have to be careful when Yingchun is older. Don't let Mrs. Lin think Our family doesn't know the rules and etiquette."

While waiting for Mrs. Xing to speak again, but she looked at Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, and Xue Baochai was immediately embarrassed.After all, Xue Baochai is still old, and she can't be as calm and composed as she will be a few years later.

"You all go to the back."

Mother Jia also felt that what Madam Xing said was reasonable, so she directly asked the other female relatives to go behind the screen.

Soon Lin Ruhai led his wife and daughter to the door, the maid opened the curtain, but Lin Ruhai didn't go in immediately.

"Are there any other female relatives in the house?"

Along the way, he realized the various irregularities in Rongguo Mansion, and Lin Ruhai thought of what Nanny Tian said that day, so he asked cautiously before entering the door.

"Go back to Uncle Lin, only the old lady is inside."

Only then did Lin Ruhai bring his wife and children in.

When I entered the room, I saw Jia Mu sitting on the Luohan couch, and there were two futons in front of the couch. Both Lin Ruhai and Jiang Wanyin smiled ironically when they saw the two futons.

"Ruhai greets the old lady."

"My concubine pays respects to the old lady."

Jiang Wanyin and Lin Ruhai saluted Jia's mother side by side. Lin Ruhai just bowed slightly, Jiang Wanyin slightly bowed her knees and saluted Wanfu, and the two children followed behind and also saluted without kneeling.

Jia Mu's gaze fell on Jiang Wanyin first, and she couldn't help being shocked when she saw Jiang Wanyin's face. When Jiang Wanyin heard her gasp, her gaze became disgusted.

"Uncle Min'er, it's been more than ten years since I saw you. Poor Min'er, we, mother and daughter, didn't even see each other for the last time..."

Mother Jia moaned and wiped away her tears.

Jia's mother didn't ask to be excused, but instead she said Uncle Min'er, which was embarrassing Jiang Wanyin.

When Jiamu spoke, Lin Ruhai and Jiang Wanyin got up almost at the same time.

"Let you remember, old lady, it's just that the holy order is hard to do. Ruhai, as a subject of a saint, should take the holy will as the most important thing."

Jia's mother secretly accused Lin Ruhai of being unfilial, separated her from Jia Min's mother and daughter for more than ten years, and sent her white-haired man to a black-haired man; Lin Ruhai directly blocked Jia's mother with holy will.

If he didn't know what Jia Min and the Jia family did, maybe Lin Ruhai would feel guilty because of Jia Mei's crying.

But now that Lin Ruhai knew what Jia Min and the Rongguo Mansion had done these years, he naturally wouldn't feel guilty.

Being blocked, Jia's mother looked a little unnatural, but she quickly changed her target.

"Where's Daiyu, my poor granddaughter?"

"Yu'er, this is your grandmother, kowtow to your grandfather on behalf of your mother."

Jiang Wanyin pulled Lin Daiyu out from behind.Lin Daiyu is Jia Mu's granddaughter, and it is her duty to kowtow to Jia Mu.

"Yu'er pays respects to grandma."

Lin Daiyu knelt down and kowtowed to Jiamu, and Jiamu stretched out her hand excitedly and pulled Lin Daiyu to embrace her in her arms.

"Yu'er, my Yu'er, my grandmother has seen you, and my grandmother has been thinking about you all these years. Girls like me, only your mother is the one who loves me. If I die before me, I won't be able to see you again. To break my heart... I, Min'er..."

Jia Mu hugged Lin Daiyu and cried.

"Grandmother, don't cry. If you let mother know that you are sad, won't you feel uneasy, and Yu'er is also worried."

Lin Daiyu was still a child, and a child who was easy to soften her heart. Seeing Jia Mu crying, she couldn't bear to persuade Jia Mu.

"Grandmother doesn't cry, don't worry about Yu'er."

Lin Daiyu persuaded Jia Mu twice before she stopped crying.

"Old lady, let Yu'er talk with you, Ruhai will take Yu'er to see the two uncles first."

Lin Ruhai noticed the female relatives behind the screen and felt it was inconvenient to stay, and he didn't want to stay to listen to Jia's mother.

After Lin Ruhai took Lin Yu away, Jiang Wanyin chose a seat to sit down. Mother Jia ignored her, and Jiang Wanyin didn't care.Seeing that Lin Ruhai had left, the female family members of Rongguo Mansion came out from behind the screen.

As soon as a group of female relatives came out, they first looked at Daiyu, who was held in Jia's arms, and then at Jiang Wanyin.

Jiang Wanyin's identity was not a secret in the Rongguo Mansion, but Jiang Wanyin married into the Lin family with a humble background, which made all the female family members curious. Now seeing it with their own eyes, they were either shocked or despised; but Jiang Wanyin didn't care.

Everyone sat down, and Jia Mu pointed to everyone and introduced Daiyu one by one.

"This is your first aunt. This is your second aunt. This is your sister-in-law Zhu, who was the daughter-in-law of your previous brother Zhu. And these three are your cousins. The older one is Yingchun, who is one year younger than you. The younger one is Xichun. And this is your second aunt’s sister, Aunt Xue, you can call her Aunt Xue. This is your aunt Xue’s daughter, Baochai, who is three years older than you, and you can call her elder sister.”

Let Lin Daiyu, the eldest daughter of a dignified second-rank official, call a businessman's daughter as her sister, and Jia's mother is really open.

"... Mrs. Xue, Miss Xue."

Lin Daiyu nodded towards Xue Baochai's mother and daughter.The mother and daughter who were born in the imperial business are not qualified enough for Lin Daiyu to salute them.

Daiyu Yijia's mother pointed to Yiyi to recognize the person. When she came to Aunt Xue, Lin Daiyu didn't call her Aunt Xue, but Mrs. Xue, and Miss Xue, Baochai.

Before coming here, Jiang Wanyin did homework for Lin Daiyu.Lin Daiyu's etiquette was taught by Jiang Wanyin before she asked the foster mother, and she couldn't be wrong.

Lin Daiyu is the daughter of a high-ranking official, Jiang Wanyin is not willing to let Lin Daiyu call Aunt Xue, who is out of reach, and call a daughter of an imperial businessman her sister; thinking of how Xue Baochai dared to discipline Lin Daiyu in the book, Jiang Wanyin does not want Baochai to call her sister. Sister Dai Yulin.

She herself came from a humble background, so she didn't mean to look down on the merchants; it's just that the Lin family is an official family now, and her words and deeds are all related to the name of the Lin family, and how everyone in the capital thinks of the Lin family, so Jiang Wanyin has to be cautious.

She still has two sons, but she can't hurt her two sons because Lin Daiyu ruined the Lin family's reputation.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu just nodded to Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai didn't look very good-looking, especially Xue Baochai's eyes were red and full of shame.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang's face sank even more.Aunt Xue is her elder sister, and Xue Baochai is her niece, and they are one in this Rongguo Mansion.In Mrs. Wang's opinion, if Lin Daiyu doesn't give Aunt Xue mother and daughter face, then she doesn't give her face.

"How old is your niece now, but have you learned manners? If no one teaches you, aunt can hire a nun for you."

When Mrs. Wang spoke, her eyes swept over Jiang Wanyin with sarcasm, mocking Jiang Wanyin's low birth and impolite manners.

"My niece will inevitably come out to be a guest when she returns to Beijing now. If she doesn't know the etiquette and is rude to her elders, it will not be a big deal."

"I don't need to worry about the second wife. A few days ago, when I entered the palace to thank you, the empress empress compassionately gave Yu'er a nurturing nun. We still believe in the etiquette of the nuns in Kunyi Palace. The nurturing nun will Yu'er's teaching is very good, and Yu'er has always done a good job."

Daiyu didn't do anything wrong, so what you said, Mrs. Wang, to be rude to the elders is completely non-existent.

"you are?"

Mrs. Wang looked at Jiang Wanyin pretending not to be puzzled.

"It's right that the second wife doesn't know me. This is my first visit to your residence. It's normal for Jia Taijun to forget things when he's getting old. I'm the wife of Lin Shilang, the head mother of the Lin family. The second wife calls me Mrs. Lin." .”

Jiang Wanyin smiled calmly, she was not angry because of Jia's mother's intentional neglect, she was still calm and composed.

"So you are the successor of Uncle Lin." Mrs. Wang looked at Jiang Wanyin contemptuously and mockingly.

Jiang Wanyin said calmly:

"It's Mrs. Ben."

"My wife also lived in Beijing for a period of time when she was young, and she has heard about Wang Yiren's youth. Especially the two daughters of the Xuejia family who married the county uncle Wang, it is even more heard. Quite a few."

"I didn't expect to meet the two of you back then, but I didn't want to see you today. It can be seen that there is fate. Mrs. Wang Yiren and Xue, what do you think?"

Suddenly hearing Jiang Wanyin mention something that happened decades ago, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel guilty.

Back then, the Rongguo Mansion took a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Wang family who was mild-tempered and somewhat weak.It's a pity that the eldest daughter of the Wang family was too weak and credulous to trust her direct sister. In the end, she was calculated by her direct sister to miss the marriage of Rongguo Mansion and had to marry into the imperial merchant Xue's family.

This matter was very tight in the Wang family back then, and only the Xue family of the Wang family and Jia family knew about it. Jiang Wanyin learned about this when she was still in her first life.It is precisely because of this that Jia's mother has always disliked Mrs. Wang.If Mrs. Wang hadn't married Jia Zheng, Jia Mu's beloved son, how could Mrs. Jia be partial to Mrs. Wang.

Insinuating that Mrs. Wang knew Mrs. Wang's secret, Jiang Wanyin didn't expose it. She accepted it as soon as she saw it, and ignored Mrs. Wang and listened to Mother Jia and Lin Daiyu.

Just at this moment, a person rushed in suddenly, and saw his bright red robe embroidered with gold patterns flashing in front of his eyes.

"Old ancestor, grandson is back."
