Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 45 Jia Yao To Be Married ([-])

After living in Lin's residence for two days, the briskness is brisk, but Jia Yao is a child of the Jia family after all, and she is still at odds with etiquette after living here for a long time.A few days later, just in time for the Ministry of Households to take a rest, Baoyu led people from Jia's mansion to Lin's mansion to take Jia Yao back.Lin Ruhai was also in the mansion when Baoyu came, so naturally Baoyu should go to see his uncle (father-in-law?).Lin Ruhai has always been kind, not to mention Baoyu is an excellent child who is quite favored by him, so he kindly encouraged him.Baoyu has always respected this kind and introverted uncle, father-in-law and close friend of his mentor, and listened to his teachings and suggestions respectfully.It's just that he didn't stay until dinner time, he only said that Dao was still thinking about it at home, so he took Jia Yao back home first.

In the meantime, Bao Dai also met.After all, Baoyu and Daiyu are first cousins. Although the marriage has been settled, there is no need to strictly guard against sticking to the rules and etiquette.When Daiyu sent Jia Yao out of the Lin residence, she saw that Baoyu had ordered the chauffeur to stand beside the carriage, waiting quietly with a smile on her lips.Daiyu was shy after all, so she just said nonchalantly, "Second brother, hello." She didn't call Baoyu by her name like she did when she was a child.Baoyu nodded towards Daiyu, and didn't say anything else, but his eyes were full of tenderness and tenderness, just looking at it made people indulge in it, willing to fall into that tenderness.Daiyu made him see that her face was flushed and her heart was warm, and there were strange but gentle ripples in her heart. She took a step forward, as if she was about to blurt out some words.But Baoyu seemed to understand, and shook his head gently, "Sister Lin, take care of yourself. The second brother took Yao'er back first. The past two years..." There was a deep meaning in his eyes, He stopped talking.In fact, Baoyu doesn't need to say anything, but the love in her eyes has already made Daiyu let go of all kinds of worries sweetly in her heart.Langyuan Xianpa and Wuxia Meiyu are rare confidantes in the world. Even if Baoyu and Daiyu standing here can't remember any past lives, there is a beautiful tacit understanding between the boy and girl standing outside the gate of Lin's mansion at this moment. It is moving.

Jia Yao knew how to get into the carriage by stepping on the steps of the carriage first, leaving the two of them to whisper outside.She thought that because of Baoyu's sticky temperament, she would have to wait for a while.Unexpectedly, in just a moment, Baoyu also opened the curtain and got into the carriage, sitting opposite Jia Yao.Li Gui at the front gave an order, and Jia's exquisitely furnished and comfortable carriage set off.Jia Yao lifted the curtain and looked at Daiyu who was watching them off.Gradually, Daiyu's face became blurred, and Jia Yao still stubbornly looked back, feeling a little melancholy in her heart.She lived with this girl since she was a child, singing in the morning and evening, cooking wine and sailing, playing and playing all the way to this day.But from now on, it will be less time to see each other...

"Yao'er, put down the curtain. This is on the street. The girl's house shows her face in public." Baoyu gently held her hand that had been pulling the curtain and was blown cold by the wind from the car window, feeling in her heart Just being aroused by the coolness, there was a burst of bitterness.Ever since they learned of Jia Yao's intention to be married, everyone around could feel that something was wrong with Baoyu.Whether it's being absent-minded and doing wrong things one after another in the household department, being reprimanded by his superiors, or returning to Jia's mansion and not talking much except to meet his elders, it can be seen that he is full of preoccupations.Of course, everyone around knew what was going on, after all, Jia Yao's intention to be married was known throughout the court.However, it is impossible for anyone to solve the problem that makes Baoyu feel depressed, and countless people even hope that this newcomer will make a joke, so that countless people below who are eyeing him will pull him down.

Still too young... Jia Yao let go of her hands obediently, looking back at Baoyu who was casting her melancholy eyes on her, thinking to herself.She knew that Baoyu was feeling sorry for her, reluctant, and sad, but his reaction was too immature.Not long after he took office, it was just when the position of deputy head of the household department had not yet been secured, the people below might not be loyal, and the people above might not be satisfied.At this time, he should devote his energy to his position wholeheartedly, instead of being distracted by something he knows he can't change.However, he is still too young... Jia Yao's eyes became soft, he still cared more about caring for her even though he knew it was useless to think too much, he was still not deep enough for those old foxes in the ups and downs of officialdom to see at a glance However, she suddenly felt that this was also quite good.She hoped that he would be strong and strong as her solid backing, but sometimes, she would rather that he was still so emotional and put her in a more important position than power and career.He is too unusual for Jia Yao, if Daiyu is her best friend and confidant.Then the person she calls her brother is not only a partner, brother, but also her son...

"San'er, you...do you blame brother...?" Baoyu might as well ask suddenly.Jia Yao was taken aback by his divine words. "Why do I blame you?" She slightly narrowed her shining beautiful eyes as if she didn't understand.

"Don't you understand?" Baoyu asked without answering.Jia Yao was silent for a while, she was only stopped by Baoyu's words at first, but she understood Baoyu's meaning in just a moment.Yes, Bao Yu thinks she is smart, which makes her happy.However, do you complain?Baoyu's advancement is her goal that she has set since then. Baoyu's position in the court is the result of her years of hard work. It was her own fault too.How could she blame the quiet and gentle young man in front of her. "How could it be. I'm looking forward to your best. Brother, hello, I'll be fine." Baoyu shook his head, "But it's very... Yaoer, you can't even imagine it, you won't like it... , there..." "I know," Jia Yao interrupted him calmly, "I know inside...and I know that no matter how sad you are, this is the truth. You can't change it. So brother, even if Mrs. No matter how much you love me, it won't help. If you really treat me well, you should put your heart and soul into your career. You are always standing behind our family, and our family is standing behind me. Therefore, Only when you are strong enough to be invincible can Yao'er be more secure in it." Hearing what she said, Baoyu couldn't help sighing, and he sat down under her encouraging eyes and took her into his arms, "Why don't you So sensible...? You don't need to be so sensible... But, it's okay if you are so sensible..." He rested his chin on the soft hair of the baby sister, and said as if he had used a lot of strength, "Brother will do his best Trying to keep you safe."

It is not far from Lin Mansion to Rongguo Mansion, but during this short journey, Jia Yao had enough time to figure out why the family was so anxious to take her back.Baoyu's five simple and clear words: The palace came to reward.What the emperor bestowed were the seasonal melons and fruits that had been tributed a few days ago. Since there were not many people in the palace, some were distributed among various places, and the remaining emperor would reward people every year.These are usually only obtained by the emperor's cronies, but this year is the first year, and the Jia family is also included in this reward.Originally, it was enough for Baoyu to be favored by the emperor, but the imperial decree specifically mentioned the third lady of the Jia family who was about to become the third concubine.So Jia Yao has to go to the palace to thank her.Today, I hurriedly called Jia Yao back, and I wanted to teach her some basic rules of entering the palace to salute nobles.Just wait for Minger Jia Mu to take Jia Yao to the old queen to thank her.

From Jia Yao's point of view, learning the rules is not much different from the aristocratic etiquette she learned in her previous life.Of course, with the same etiquette, some people are elegant and pleasing to the eye, while others are boring and boring.Jia Yao has a solid foundation in dancing, and she has a good appearance and temperament, so she definitely does not belong to the latter.Jia's mother taught her for a while, and seeing Jia Yao's elegant movements, she couldn't help but praise her. "My third girl has the same manners and is extraordinarily good-looking! Look at this small figure, small appearance, the Queen Mother must like it..." Jia Yao smiled, still coquettishly like when she was a child, "Old ancestor, Yao'er is always a good person. How come the old ancestors don't know?" Jia's mother felt rare and comfortable when she listened to her delicate and delicate little voice. I should praise you. I will bring you into the palace tomorrow, so don't be reckless." After thinking about it, he said worriedly.Jia Yao naturally refused to obey, she twisted Jia's mother like a little girl, and said that she was the most well-behaved.It twisted Jia Mu's heart so much that she screamed for her heart and soul.

Early the next morning, Jia Yao had breakfast at Jia Mu's early, and began to dress up under Jia Mu's eyes.Because Jia's mother has some years of friendship with the Queen Mother, and she also knows what kind of girls the Queen Mother likes.But Jia Yao secretly felt that it was too exaggerated.In all fairness, Mother Jia has seen a lot, and she has a good eye.But just entering the palace to thank you, there is no need to try on one dress after another with excellent workmanship and beautiful style.There is no need to instruct the servant girl to pick up the jewelry one by one and compare them to her body to see if it matches the clothes... Don't say the servant girl is tired, she will be tired by now, and she hasn't entered the palace yet !

Wait until Mother Jia is finally satisfied with her body.Jia Yao stood in front of the full-length diorama, looking carefully at herself in the mirror.The beautiful eyes are shimmering, charming and romantic but not dissolute, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, flirtatious and gorgeous but not charming.The well-shaped and well-shaped diamond lips of reddish red have the tenderness of a girl who does not apply makeup, and her fair cheeks make her look weak and vulnerable.The straight bridge of the nose brought her a somewhat independent and noble temperament, and the oval face was about to take shape, but the last bit of baby fat on the pink cheeks had not faded away, which added a bit of innocence to her.The hair is pulled up in a simple way, and the part that symbolizes the girl below cannot be rolled up, and hangs freely on her shoulders.What Jia Mu finalized was a set of gorgeous but uncomplicated gold filigree and emerald jewellery, with exquisite and simple patterns on them.It was paired with a transparent jade bracelet without any patterns, but it looked extraordinarily warm on her slender white wrist.She was wearing a very comfortable silk gauze dress in summer, and she was so favored that she only got three.The most beautiful of them is the one on her body.On it is a water-red silver silkworm jacket, embroidered with silver-colored bamboo patterns.The bottom is a white pleated gauze skirt, and the light yellow and green butterflies on the skirt are lifelike, as if the butterflies in the garden are fluttering on her delicate skirt with fragrance.Make her look extra bright and pretty.

She sighed imperceptibly, and already understood from her own attire what type of girl the old lady liked.
