Chapter 53 The Dream of Red Mansions 6

Lin Ruhai is a very popular person in Beijing now. Since he came to Beijing, many people have posted invitations to him. Most of the men are from Liuxiang on Shanghua Street. Ma Xiong only drinks some wine and never touches those girls.Although he used some excuses such as "disgraceful to the gentleman", it was still unavoidable that he was said to be henpecked.

But in the end it was to curry favor or get close to Ma Xiong, so they invited him to attend, and these words did not reach Ma Xiong's ears, even if he heard it, he would not care.The reason why he didn't touch those fireworks girls was more because he didn't want to make Xiong Ba sad. They've been together for so many years, why should they ruin their relationship because of such a trivial matter?

Ma Xiong doesn't take any food here, except for drinking some wine to bond with friends, he is an extremely difficult person to get close to.Those who want to establish a relationship with Ma Xiong naturally come here to find a crack. When he can't do it himself, some people want to go the way of pillow wind.

This caused Xiong Ba, who is Mrs. Lin, to bring Daiyu back to the Lin family's house, and received many posts.Before, because she was in Jia's mansion, it was not easy to post invitations to Jia's mansion, so she had a quiet life.Now that the mother and daughter have returned to the Lin family's house, naturally many posts came to their door.

Xiong Ba looked at Daiyu, who still had a somewhat immature face, and decided in her heart to choose a few posts to go to the appointment.You must know that girls grow up very fast. Although Daiyu is still young, she should reach Jiji in the blink of an eye. After Jiji, it is time to discuss marriage. While it is still early, it is time to help her sooner. planned.

Xiong Ba didn't notice it before, even when she was in the class of "Dream of Red Mansions", the Jia family hardly had any time to socialize with others.They almost live in the world of the four major families!Even if a few sisters and children discuss relatives, they are either within the scope of the four major families, or they are from families with a lot of difference. This is almost impossible in real life, but it is like this in Dream of the Red Chamber.

After picking and choosing, Xiong Ba decided on the posts of Jing Zhaoyin's house and Guozijian Ji Restaurant.Of these two families, one is governed by the emperor, which is almost equivalent to the official position of the mayor of modern Beijing, and the other is an official of the Imperial College.Although it is not clear what the sacrificial wine is for, Xiong Ba also knows the status of the Imperial College today.This is the highest institution of higher learning that almost all scholars in the world yearn for.

After deciding to go to the banquet, Xiong Ba began to prepare.The house is not too busy to clean up, anyway, there are servants cleaning the house all the time, even though it looks dilapidated on the outside, it can still be lived in.The reason for the post in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion is that the old lady is celebrating her birthday, and the name of the Guozijian's wine banquet is more elegant, and it is a poetry meeting that literati like.Lin Ruhai was born in Tanhualang, even when he posted a message to Xiong Ba, he still liked her.In order to go to the banquet, the first thing Xiong Ba prepares is to tell Xiao Daiyu some things that need attention.

Although they were new to the capital, she had asked Ma Xiong to collect information in the capital before. The Jia family was unreliable, and she planned to get in touch with all kinds of people in the capital by herself.Now that the collected information can be used, Ma Xiong still has a shallow foundation. Although they had the foresight to start collecting information as early as when they first arrived in this world, there are not many capable people under him. Even less, and secondly, it is not so easy to find out when they come to the capital, so their information is relatively superficial, and it still stays on the surface.

There is even some information claiming that Jia Baoyu is the most psychic and beautiful. Just based on this alone, Xiong Ba knows that the information cannot be trusted.Picked up some important things and talked to Daiyu, and they began to prepare for the banquet in a few days.Xiong Ba personally took care of which maid Daiyu took out.

Finally, when that day came, Xiong Ba took Daiyu to Jingzhao Yinhe's mansion for a banquet.The population of Jing Zhaoyin's mansion is relatively simple. Mr. Jing Zhaoyin He himself is not a child of any family background. Like Lin Ruhai, he was also born in the imperial examination.Because of this, he married a noble daughter-in-law.There is only one old lady in the He family, besides Mr. He and his wife and children.

Speaking of which, Lord He's mother is also a very legendary figure.Master He's father died of illness early in life, and she raised Master He alone. He passed the imperial examination and became an official. She is as proud as all mothers who hope their children will become dragons.Later, Master He married the daughter of a noble family, and she immediately let go of the power of housekeeping, and would support her daughter-in-law from time to time. She is a well-known kind old lady in Beijing.It is said that having an old family is like having a treasure, maybe that is the case.

That's what it says in the information, but Xiong Ba doesn't know the real situation. Anyway, just visiting as a guest may not necessarily make friends with the other party. It is enough to know some superficial things.

At that time, they had just returned to the capital from Yangzhou, Xiong Ba and Daiyu returned to Jia's mansion in sedan chairs, and left in sedan chairs.But as far as Xiong Ba is concerned, she doesn't like sitting in a sedan chair very much, and she doesn't like the feeling of being in the hands of others, nor does she like letting others bear her weight.So when they went from Lin's house to Jingzhaoyin's mansion, they took a carriage.

The carriage was fast and stable, and they could chat a few words while sitting in the carriage. Daiyu hardly felt the passage of time, and they had already arrived in front of He's residence.Xiong Ba's family was not the only one who accepted the post, the front of the He Mansion was already a bit lively, but because this was the first time Mrs. Lin showed up in the capital after many years, others also paid more attention to her and Daiyu .

As soon as Lin's carriage arrived, a clever-looking maid led Xiong Ba and Daiyu to find Mrs. He.Mrs. He also came from a noble family, but she was from a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River. She seemed gentle and generous, and she took great care of Xiong Ba and Dai Yu who had just arrived.After asking Daiyu a few words, she asked the servant girl to present a small purse, and then introduced several wives to Xiong Ba.

To put it bluntly, among so many wives present, Xiong Ba didn't recognize any of them.I'm afraid even if the original owner Jia Min is here, it won't be much better.Fortunately, Mrs. He is taking care of her. Although she is not recognized, she is quite happy.It won't be long before I can talk to some ladies.

Daiyu originally followed Xiong Ba obediently, but Xiong Ba didn't care about her for a while, so Mrs. He asked her second daughter to take Daiyu to the back to play with some girls of the same age.When there is nothing to talk about, it is best to use children as the topic. I praise your daughter for being generous, and you praise my daughter for being quiet. Everyone in the house is in a good mood.

It was originally the old lady's birthday banquet, and when everyone was almost there, the maid helped the old lady to come in front of the people. The old lady seemed to be in good spirits, but she was as good as Jiamu.Several ladies came up and said a few auspicious words, and the old lady waved her hand and led a group of women to the backyard to watch a play.

The girls from various families who were playing in the backyard also gathered here, and Daiyu seemed to be well cared for with the Second Miss of the He family. When she came to Xiong Ba's side, she chatted happily all the time.After going out for a walk, she became much more cheerful. Xiong Ba thought about whether to accept more posts in the future so that Daiyu could meet more playmates and friends.

The theater troupe specially invited Mrs. He to celebrate her birthday. The first play was the most classic Magu's birthday celebration at the birthday banquet.On festive days, the plays ordered were all joyous, and the playbooks were passed down one by one. Xiong Ba only said that she liked to watch everything, but she had no particular favourite, so she didn't order any particular play.

Apart from Magu's birthday greetings, the only ones Xiong Ba could recognize were Wu Song Fighting the Tiger and The Story of the West Chamber.In addition, there are a few short-lived love dramas. In Xiong Ba's view, they are modern urban love and family ethics dramas. Although they are a bit boring, they can also be shown to Daiyu.

"Do you think the relationship between Zhang Sheng and Yingying is particularly enviable?" Let alone Daiyu, among the young girls present, how many of them are not full of longing for the future? Xiong Ba couldn't help but pour some cold water on Daiyu, "The one who runs away is a concubine. For all ladies, having a private meeting with a foreigner is almost the same as elopement. This world is always unfair to women, and this kind of thing is not fair to men. For a woman, it is an affair, but for a woman, it is disgusting."

Taking advantage of everyone's focus on the play, Xiong Ba almost sneered and analyzed to Daiyu, "The matchmaker probably doesn't have any good intentions. The most important thing for a servant is loyalty. The master does not say anything, but still encourages the master to do such a thing that ruins his reputation, if I say it, he should be killed."

Except for Magu's Birthday Blessing and Wu Song's Fighting the Tiger, Xiong Ba has criticized almost every play.Daiyu's emotions range from surprise to disbelief to disappointment to disgust and finally to high spirits. It's just a play, but there are so many truths in life.For some reason, Daiyu was disgusted with these scenes because of Xiong Ba's analysis, but thinking about what Xiong Ba once said, "Not everything is black and white", she had other ideas.

Isn't a play on this stage the epitome of life?Look at what others have experienced and be alert to yourself, so that you can always be alert and not be confused.Sometimes when seeing some unreasonable things, Xiong Ba and Daiyu would smile knowingly, making the ladies sitting beside them a little puzzled.Only they themselves know that they have seen through the essence of the play, and it is precisely because of this that they can really watch from the sidelines and make all the beings on the stage look like a joke.

Xiong Ba and Daiyu's first appearance in the capital ended smoothly.There was no outsider intruding, no framing, and no troubles. While they left a good impression on the ladies and daughters in the capital, they also had some general opinions on the ladies and daughters in the capital.

Later, they went to several banquets, and Mrs. Lin Ruhai's reputation gradually increased, not following Jia's house but following Ma Xiong, which made the couple very satisfied.And Daiyu's well-behaved, also let the wives in the capital have a good evaluation of her.In this way, Xiong Ba took Daiyu to the banquet from time to time, and the relationship between the Lin family and the Jia family became cold again.

Days passed day by day, and finally came the day when Daiyu and Ji came together.
