Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 47 Jia Yao is about to marry ([-])

"My servant Rong met Miss Jia San", "My servant Bi met Miss Third".The foster mother bestowed by the emperor came to Rongguo Mansion ahead of time when the summer was about to pass.

Jia Yao looked at the two old ladies in strict dress and wrinkled faces. She knew in her heart that these upbringing nuns who taught princes and concubines manners before marriage had some status in the palace. Her face was polite but not overly warm. With a smile, she said, "You two sisters don't have to be so polite. Jia Yao doesn't understand the rules of the palace, and she has to rely on her mother's teaching for many things." She turned her face slightly, and glanced at Taoxi behind her as if nothing and apricot branches.Taoxi and Xingzhi are both smart, they silently stepped forward to salute the two nuns.To Jia Yao's satisfaction, the two nuns didn't take too much, saying that the two girls were polite, and when they helped Taoxi and the two to get up, they accepted Taoxi's two stuffed women who pretended to be of good quality. Dongzhu's brocade bag.

The corners of Jia Yao's mouth deepened.Regardless of whether these two nuns are under the influence of the emperor, she just needs to learn the superficial things well.She will not be overwhelmed and try to take the two nuns for her own use as soon as they meet. Whether the two nuns will be loyal or not will make the people above think that she is impatient and has no brains.At this moment, Mammy accepts her gesture of favor, which obviously shows that they are not stupid, and both sides are willing to give face to each other.So no matter which side Mammy secretly belongs to, neither of them need to care.Thinking about it, this nanny was probably sent by the emperor.But she doesn't have to be on guard.If her future prince and husband don't want her to be watched, they will always do something, won't they?If it doesn't matter that she is put under the eyes of the emperor... then she doesn't care either.Anyway, she doesn't have any secrets now, does she?

"Jia Yao has shown few rules since she was a child, and her knowledge is contemptuous. There are many things she doesn't understand about the etiquette to be learned. Could the two nuns please tell me carefully?" Jia Yao asked kindly. "Returning to the third lady, the rules in the palace are nothing more than standing, sitting, walking, and salute. The third lady comes from a family, and her every move conforms to the model of a lady. There is nothing special about it. It's just about etiquette. The etiquette in the palace is naturally different from that outside the palace. It's different. From tomorrow onwards, the slaves and Madam Bi will inform the third lady about everything in the palace, from the funeral, to the wedding ceremony, and even the family ceremony. I think the third lady is talented and smart, and she has learned some etiquette. Difficult." Rong Momo replied in a deep voice. "In this way, Jia Yao thanked me." Jia Yao nodded lightly, secretly happy that she still had a day to be free to control herself.

Mother Jia had already arranged accommodation for the two foster nuns.He ordered the little maid to take the nanny to rest, and Jia Yao also returned to her residence.

One day without words.In the evening, Jia Yao went to Jia Mu's place for dinner again.At that time, Jia Mu had already stopped holding Baoyu by her side every day.Daiyu was also preparing to get married in Lin's mansion, and if she couldn't come to Jia's mansion in time, Jia Yao was the only junior who always accompanied Jia's mother.After asking how Jia Yao got along with the two maids in the palace, Jia Yao naturally told the truth.There was nothing special about it, and Mother Jia was still at ease with her precious granddaughter, so she didn't ask any more questions.Just following the fact that the foster mother came to the mansion, Mother Jia naturally thought that Jia Yao had already been given a marriage, and she would marry inside the palace wall the next year.It is not easy to see each other from now on.Then look at the juniors around me who have all grown up, and the only one who is with me now is this little granddaughter. After two years, I still don't know what kind of lonely situation is around me, so I can't help feeling sad and sighed.

Doesn't Jia Yao know what Jia's mother is thinking, and after thinking about it, she knows that the lively and lively Jia's mother feels lonely at her knees.She rolled her eyes slightly, "Granddaughter hasn't seen Brother Fang for a long time. I was in a daze when I heard my second sister-in-law say that Brother Fang can recite the Three Character Classic?" Mother Jia didn't know what her intention was, but she just didn't want to offend her granddaughter. It was also uncomfortable, so she continued to follow her words, "I saw that little guy a few days ago. He is very clever, and he is exactly the same as his father when he was a child!" Jia Yao always knew Jia Mu's love for Jia Lian. Baoyu's love is not inferior to Baoyu's. The leader must have picked the right words, "Yao'er is now in a trance and listened to outsiders saying that Lian's second brother is very capable now." Jia's mother's smile was more sincere, "Oh , How capable is he! If you can earn our Yaoer's dowry, it's over!" "Old ancestor~" Jia Yao pretended to be ashamed and annoyed, looking like a little girl.As expected, Mother Jia was coaxed by her coquettish appearance, and she smiled with a kindness all over her face.

Jia Yao looked at Mother Jia's wrinkled face, although she was still smiling, her heart was full of uncontrollable melancholy.In these years, the ancestors really loved her.Although she would never be able to compare with Jia's family, two sons and two grandchildren in Jia's mother's heart, she is not a person who does not know what is good or bad.Mother Jia really loves her like a grandma loves her granddaughter, what more could she ask for?She is not a child, and she is indignant at the slightest partiality of her elders. She knows that Mother Jia does not owe her anything.As a granddaughter, her status, food and clothing, upbringing, and love are all the same, and these are worthy of gratitude.She has no right to think that Jia's mother will put her above Jia's mansion and her children and grandchildren.Moreover, Mother Jia never actually asked her to repay the family.Jia's mother is good to Baoyu and Jia Lian, but at the same time she also has requirements for them, that is, she hopes that they will be promising, bring benefits to the family, and carry forward the family.Before she was given the marriage, Mother Jia only loved her, but did not ask her to make sacrifices for the family.She is not a pampered child who has never experienced anything in modern society, and feels that it is only natural for everyone to treat her well.

In these years, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Jia Zheng have treated her unconditionally, and she has seen all of them... But, as a woman, in this kind of society, she really doesn't know what to repay them.Now, she is going to marry into the palace wall, and she will face great possibilities in the future. Apart from bringing great glory to the Jia family, it may also bring great danger.She knew that there were already four big families with a prince Teng and Jia Baoyu, so she would no longer choose this kind of venture capital.However, they were dragged onto this dangerous and unpredictable road by an inexplicable purpose.The imperial power is greater than the sky... She wants to live well, and she also wants her family members who love her to live well.So, the third prince... She thought of those gentle smiling eyes in the peach blossom forest. If you accept me, I am willing to work hard with you.

"Old ancestor," Jia Yao spread a chopstick dish for Jia Mu, "Eat more food that is easy to digest. Yao'er heard from Yuanyang that it is easy to accumulate food at night during this hot summer."

Jia Mu nodded, "It's good for you to learn more about these words. In the future, you have to take care of yourself, and you have to know how to care about your husband and elders." After a pause, she said, "That's all. There is nothing in the palace except the Queen Mother... ...The old ancestor has already told you, you can handle it yourself." Jia Yao understood what she meant, and nodded obediently.

From the second day on, Jia Yao began to learn the rules from the nanny, and her busy and exhausted level was close to that of Baoyu who was preparing for the battle for Qiu Wei.At the very beginning, saluting, standing, sitting and lying were light on the body, and it was not difficult for Jia Yao, who had learned to dance for many years.As the grade of the prince and concubine, the position of the same grade in the palace, the posture of bowing the head, the distance, meeting the emperor's heir, the etiquette of the emperor's relatives, these things Jia Yao can basically do gracefully and decently after the mother demonstrates it twice up.Only two months later, Jia Yao had already learned the initial salutation, salutation, and behavior requirements, and the etiquette of various ceremonies made Jia Yao a little tired.Fortunately, she had space to support her, and another advantage of Linglong Dan also began to show at this time.The more she uses her brain, the faster she thinks and memorizes after being exhausted again and again.Only the two nuns were amazed by her talent, and they said it was very easy to teach Jia Yao.

In the constant learning of rules and etiquette, the time soon came to the New Year's Eve.This year's Spring Festival, because Lin Ruhai was still in Beijing and there was no hostess at home, Jia's mother invited Lin Ruhai to bring Daiyu to Jia's mansion to celebrate the New Year together.During the New Year's Eve, Jia Yao was able to meet Daiyu again.Daiyu's stature has improved, and she has developed a little bit more plump than the last time Jia Yao saw her.The whole person looks more delicate and healthy.I have always been very satisfied with Mrs. Jia Muwang.Because it was a holiday, the mother-in-law didn't need the Jia family to ask, so she took the initiative to give Jia Yao a holiday.But this is also because Jia Yao's progress has been satisfactory some time ago, and the two nuns don't have to make the future princess unhappy just to rush to teach the rules.Jia Yao came down suddenly, naturally relaxed and unspeakable.He took Daiyu to live in Jia's mansion for a while.During this period, Baoyu has been on vacation, and has met Daiyu several times.Several elders secretly watched it, and they were not dissatisfied.The marriage contract has been settled long ago, and the two grew up together since childhood, besides, there is still Yao'er in between, so as long as they don't mess around, even meeting a few times is fine.

Daiyu was with her father during this time, it was impossible for Lin Ruhai to teach her the housekeeper to embroider these things according to the rules of three obedience and four virtues.No matter whether Lin Ruhai was intentional or not, Daiyu was influenced by her ears and eyes, and it was inevitable that she understood some things that she had never touched before.The affairs in the palace, the strife of power, the darkness of the officialdom, when Jia Yao gets along with her, she can faintly feel that Daiyu is more mature than before in another field.Although Daiyu will never be involved in this field in her life, it is undoubtedly a good thing for Daiyu.Because in these things, Daiyu and Baoyu had no intersection at all.And Lin Ruhai only had Daiyu as a child, so he would naturally think about him wholeheartedly. When thinking about Daiyu, he had to think about Baoyu and their future family.Therefore, Jia Yao believed that the occasional cunning in Daiyu's more perceptive eyes was definitely caused by Lin Ruhai on purpose.In the future, even if Daiyu can't help Baoyu in his official career, he can still teach Daiyu some power as a bargaining chip in Daiyu's hands.Instead of trusting the Jia family desperately.

No one will absolutely believe anyone.Lin Ruhai is even more so.Maybe if he was just Jia Min's husband and Daiyu's father, he would choose to trust the Jia family completely.However, he is still the head of the Lin family.Jia Yao couldn't fully understand, but she also began to realize what those different and entangled forces really care about.That is the most important thing, more important than love, family, elders, descendants.That can be vaguely summed up as: the glory of the family.And women can never understand, because they are not family names forever.As for Daiyu... Jia Yao believes that the cunning Lin Ruhai and Jia's mother must have agreed on the surname.In the future, at least one of her little nephews will be named Lin...
