Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 44 Jia Yao To Be Married ([-])

Because Lin Ruhai is from Jiangnan, the banquet he prepared is not lacking in dishes with Jiangnan characteristics.Jia Yao traveled to many places in her previous life and ate many special dishes.However, in the process of inheriting Chinese cuisine, there will naturally be losses.Even if Jia Yao is not short of money in modern society, she still can't get back some of the authentic taste of ancient times.In this world, Jia Yao, who lived a very particular life in her previous life, discovered that the ancients could spend so much effort on ingredients.A simple bowl of maple dew tea, Jia Yao deliberately searched for the taste of this tea when he visited the Red Mansion in his previous life, it is indeed a delicate fragrance.But in this world, Jia Yao realized that what pot to cook Fenglu tea in, what water to use for seasoning, and what teacup to serve are all very important.But it turned out that she, who thought she was elegant, was tacky.As Miss Da, these things are a basic requirement for their status.No one will propose to understand luxury goods as an exact course, but no matter where you are, if you can't taste good things, you will be despised by people of that class.Just like celebrities in modern society can’t tell which year Lafite is in the goblet, if you can’t tell the source of the calligraphy and painting, the grinding method of the ancient ink, and how to brew the tea to make it fragrant, you will They are regarded as coming from a nouveau riche family, no matter how prominent and wealthy the family is, they cannot be accepted by the ladies of other families.

Jia Yao naturally understands these unspoken rules of the upper class that will never be mentioned on the surface.She clings to the inconspicuous wooden chopsticks in her hand, but she knows in her heart that these are actually solid rosewood chopsticks, and the inconspicuous lace around it is actually a black gold-plated edge, which is low-key but luxurious.The Lin family is worthy of its noble fate. In fact, compared to the gold, silver and ivory chopsticks of the Jia family, Jia Yao prefers such a low-key, luxurious and noble style.There is no lack of extravagance in elegance, and there is no lack of crookedness in gold and luxury, which makes life more comfortable and comfortable.Apparently, at the family banquet of the two surnames, there is no eating, drinking, sleeping or talking.Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai drank the flower carvings that Lin Ruhai brought from Gusu. After a few rounds of drinking, they were not drunk.Jia Yao also had a bit of a craving for the mellow taste of the rice wine, but she couldn't speak in front of her father.She secretly glanced at Daiyu, and knew that Daiyu also wanted to drink the authentic Huadiao.Thinking that although Lin Ruhai loves Daiyu, Daiyu is mostly obedient in front of him.

Lin Ruhai talked happily with Jia Zheng, "Second brother, Ruhai said earlier that Baoyu is a promising child! Sure enough, I didn't let me be fooled!" Jia Zheng was most proud when he mentioned Baoyu, "Haha, Don't praise him quickly. I just hope he won't be proud and complacent." Lin Ruhai agreed with this statement, "It's true. It's just that I think Baoyu has a plan in his mind. He's not greedy for merit like those brats Adventurous. There are elders on the left and right to show him, and there will be no major mistakes. Even if there are some twists and turns, it should be done. The growth of children cannot be too smooth, and they must be honed to grow." Jia Zheng smiled. Nodding his head, he said, "It's very, very." After a pause, the smile on his face disappeared, "But I'm more worried about the third girl in our family." Third girl, "This girl has been pampered by the old lady and her mother since she was a child, and she doesn't know what to do inside." Jia Zheng disguised himself as a strict father, but his eyes were full of love and affection.Lin Ruhai himself has only one precious daughter under his knees, and all the thoughts of a loving father in his heart have been given to Daiyu alone. Looking at Jia Zheng's worry at this time, it resonates very much.He is also a person who has been ups and downs in the officialdom for half his life. Those secretive things have faded after decades of love for the juniors and the feelings between relatives. At this time, he would like to mention Jia Yao's thoughts .He knew that the granddaughters that Mother Jia really loved were the eldest girl and the third girl of the second brother's family, and now he could naturally understand why Mother Jia called Jia Yao to come to his house.Jia Mu is his respected mother-in-law, and Jia Yao is the niece of his late beloved wife and the direct sister of his future son-in-law. He naturally hopes for Jia Yao's well-being in his heart, so he put aside the taboos mentioned above.

"If you want me to say, the second brother doesn't have to worry too much. Although the battle among the several princes is fierce, the third prince is now the one who is smarter in his words. You can't say too many words like the sea. Just talk about the marriage of the third girl." After entering, don't be fooled by the trivial things in front of you, and be one with the third prince and his wife, and act cautiously. There is still great hope for the future." Naturally, everyone at the table understands what this hope refers to.Jia Zheng's face changed slightly, and he also knew that Lin Ruhai had done his best in this matter, but his heart fluctuated violently for a while, so he took a sip of Huadiao from the green jade wine glass to suppress his agitation.In all fairness, although he has the ambitions a man should have, he really loves his children and never expected Jia Yao to ascend to the most honorable position to bring him a more honorable position.However, the current situation is that he has to count on if he doesn't count on it. If any of the four princes of the eldest prince takes that position, Jia Yao, the Jia family and the four major families will not end well.Oh, but even so, what can be done? Even if the emperor showed a look of valuing the Jia family and promoting the Jia family, would he really consider the survival of the Jia family?The son can look at it coldly, so what about these courtiers!Lin Ruhai sighed slightly, that's all he could say.In fact, he is really more optimistic about the third prince, but things will change a lot in the future, so he can say that at most.

Jia Yao put down the red sandalwood and black gold carved chopsticks in her hand, raised her head and smiled slightly, "Daddy and uncle don't need to worry about Yao'er. You and Yaoer will not act recklessly, so let's take one step at a time. The future is still long, Just talk about whether there is great hope, Yao’er shouldn’t think about it now. It just depends on what the third prince will say in the future.” Lin Ruhai nodded after hearing this, and thought with a smile, his second uncle is not a smart one. Not stupid at all.Clever and weird.He has always liked this little niece especially among the younger generations, and the reason is that this little girl is clever and sweet, and she doesn't pretend to be clever to be annoying.Now listening to her say these words is very secure, and even more satisfying. "That's it. Second brother, I think Yao'er is a well-behaved and sensible person, so you don't have to worry too much. There are some things that are worrying about you, and it is difficult to have an immediate result. You should let yourself live a little more relaxedly, so you don't have to worry about it." Jia Zheng had no choice but to agree.But the one he wanted to send in was his own daughter, even if he knew that it was useless to worry, he couldn't just stay out of it.

After lunch, Jia Zheng didn't stay any longer, talked to Lin Ruhai for a while, told Jia Yao to be obedient and obedient in Lin's mansion, and took the servant back home.He also knew in his heart that his daughter's life would not stop after two years, so it didn't matter if Jia Yao and Daiyu played for two more days.Naturally, Lin Ruhai had a lot of work to do, so he ordered Daiyu to treat Jia Yao well, and went to work on his own.Daiyu took Jia Yao to the back garden for a walk to digest food.The sun is good today, and it is inconvenient for the two of them to have a maid behind them with a paper umbrella to shade them. "You guys go down, now we are under the shade of the tree, the two of us really don't need to cover our heads with this thorn. It's more comfortable for the two of us to talk to each other. You just wait in the pavilion at the back. .If there is something to do, I will order you naturally." Daiyu ordered.Jia Yao's eldest maid, Taoxi, and Daiyu's eldest maid, Chunxian, knew that the two young masters were impatient with many people, so they each led the young maids behind them to salute and leave.

Daiyu and Jia Yao walked slowly all the way, it was noon now, the two of them were walking under the shade of a tree, there was a gentle breeze blowing through their long-sleeved dresses, bringing comfort and coolness. "I still remember that when we were young, we were greedy for the cold and slept on the stone bench under the old tree in summer, but they found it." Daiyu recalled with a smile. "That's not it," Jia Yao thought amusedly, "At that time you slept on top of Baoyu, and half of him was crushed so that he couldn't move." Daiyu blushed a little when she heard the word Baoyu.He pursed his lips and stopped talking.Jia Yao turned her head and looked at her jokingly, "Why, you didn't ask how my second brother is doing? You don't think about him, do you?" Daiyu shook her head, still shy and refused to speak. "Hey, you're also shy with me. What's the matter! You miss him, that's what you should do. Who can say anything to you?" Daiyu gave her a sharp look, "Could it be that everyone is as shameless as you?" What! My daughter’s family doesn’t know how to be shy!” Jia Yao shook her head, “Yes, yes, I’m not ashamed. My daughter, even so, I know. I won’t mention him!” You?!" Daiyu turned her head and glared at her. "What about me? We dated before marriage, being indecent and indecent. I don't dare to say it anymore." Daiyu stomped her feet, "Okay, 1, don't you say it! If you don't say it, I won't listen!" Jia Yao nodded and smiled, "It's very Yes, I should be honest like this. You miss him, and he misses you, which is only right and proper. Okay, okay, I won’t tease you. He’s fine, I just miss you.” Daiyu didn’t cover her face shyly, but instead Gently shaking her head, "I know he is definitely not good now. He has the best relationship with you, and now you...he must be so distressed." Jia Yao still smiled, "It had nothing to do with him. Dai Yu, don't mention it. This is my business, and it has nothing to do with anyone else." Hearing this, Daiyu couldn't help being stunned, and turned her head to look deeply into Jia Yao's eyes.Never before, Jia Yao's eyes were dark, like a silent wilderness filled with heavy snow, and in the boundless cold was a belief like a tree that would not fall down for a thousand years.Daiyu raised her hand and gently stroked Jia Yao's eyes. Jia Yao reached out and grabbed Daiyu's hand, "Maybe you still don't understand. There will be a battle one day, and it will be yours alone." It has nothing to do with anyone. Even if they worry about you, feel distressed, sad, it is useless to you, you still need to fight alone."

Daiyu didn't speak for a while.Jia Yao smiled softly, let go of Daiyu's hand, and walked forward with leisurely steps.Maybe Daiyu will never understand, because she may not have the chance to fight alone.In this life, the girl's life can be very happy.And myself?She narrowed her big charming eyes in a sense of loss, even if God gave me anything, I would take it all, right?I have no reason to choose suffering, and time and time again I am alone and unable to confide and ask for help.Even when she came to this completely strange society alone and couldn't tell anyone about her hesitation, didn't she survive it?It's been a good year too.So...the romantic and tender misty rain has returned to her eyes... There is no need to feel distressed and worried, so what's the use to me?As long as I walk this road with myself, that's all.Ah……
