Lin Lang, the wood family of the Red Chamber
Chapter 42 Gifts
Daiyu didn't stay any longer, pointing to a very kind-looking woman next to Madam Wang and said, "This is the second aunt's younger sister, Mrs. Xue."
"Mrs. Xue." Mu Linlang didn't raise her hand this time, and just nodded at Aunt Xue.
Then he went straight to Li Wan. "This is sister-in-law Zhu." He pointed to Wang Xifeng who came over to watch Mu Linlang, "This is sister-in-law Lian."
Mu Linlang didn't scan the two young daughters-in-law of the Jia family in all directions, but only memorized their appearance.
"This is the second sister, this is the third sister, and the fourth sister." When Daiyu introduced Jia Jia Sanchun, Mu Linlang keenly felt Daiyu's different attitudes towards these three people.It seems that Lin Daiyu has a better relationship with the youngest "fourth sister".
In the end, Daiyu brought her to a beautiful woman who looked like Concubine Yang and was as charming as Daiyu, and introduced her, "This is the second aunt's niece, Miss Xue."
Long before Mu Linlang came to the capital, she had often heard outsiders talking about the outstanding girls in the Rongguo Mansion, and she saw them all today, so she had no regrets.
Thinking of what kind of envy, jealousy and hatred the uncle would show him when he talked about what he had seen and heard today when he returned home, he felt an infinite sense of satisfaction in his heart.
But he didn't know that Zhuyan from the Jia family who was being observed by him was also watching him secretly.In their minds, Jia Baoyu was like an immortal. In their limited experience, they had never seen anyone who could compare with Jia Baoyu, not even Jia Lian.
But today, they finally saw a young man who was on par with Jia Baoyu in appearance, but a few blocks away from Jia Baoyu in temperament.Yingchun and Baochai were fine with it, Tanchun felt his little heart was thumping and was about to jump out of his chest, so he quickly lowered his head, but his face blushed quietly.
Daiyu said again: "There is also a girl from the historian who often travels between the Rongguo mansion and the Shijia mansion. Today, it happens that she is not here when she returns to the Shi family, and my brother has no chance to see her. There is also my cousin Jia Baoyu who went to the temple I fulfilled my wish, I can only come here at night, I think I won’t be able to see my younger brother. This cousin of mine likes people with outstanding appearance, if you two meet, you will be known as friends.”
Mu Linlang glanced at Daiyu, and sure enough, his elder sister had grown a lot, and she was able to mock Jia Baoyu in front of these people for only looking at people's appearances. In his eyes, is it normal for Jia Baoyu to look like this?Isn't this the blatant coloring wolf one?These people actually regarded him as a treasure?
After seeing each other, Mu Linlang asked, "Sister, did you share all the gifts from home? Don't leave anything at that time, let father personally treat you to fried pork with bamboo shoots."
Daiyu looked calm, completely free from the self-blame and bewilderment she should have felt after forgetting an important task.
"Didn't I plan to distribute it together when you came?" After speaking, she turned and nodded to her eldest maid.
Then one of the four decent servant girls standing behind Daiyu came out, blessed Mu Linlang and Daiyu, and went straight to the gate to clap her hands.Immediately, a woman who had been waiting for a long time came in carrying several large and small boxes.
Fuling, Daiyu's maidservant, stepped forward and opened the largest wooden box. When the lid was just opened, all the people around the audience stretched their necks curiously, intending to see what was inside the box first.
In contrast, the calm expression on the faces of the people brought by the Lin family siblings directly threw the Rongguo Mansion far away.
Daiyu stepped forward to take an object wrapped in high-quality Sichuan brocade handed over by Fuling, and opened it carefully.
After it was fully opened, all the people present stared wide-eyed. This is an emerald ornament carved into the shape of an old birthday star.Even Jia's mother opened her eyes wide. Thinking about it, she didn't expect that Daiyu would be such an extremely rare item when she made a move.
"This is a statue of a birthday star that my father specially asked someone to engrave and sent to the Hanshan Temple in Gusu to consecrate it. I only hope that the old lady will live longer than Nanshan." After Daiyu finished speaking, she handed the statue to Jia Mu directly.
Mother Jia took it with a smile, seeing her, she couldn't put it down very much. "It made your father worry."
"What's the matter, you are an elder after all, and it's too late for my father to respect me. Why bother to talk about it. The material of this emerald is nothing, but my father's kindness is even more rare." Since returning to Gusu, Daiyu's temperament seems to be much more lively, and her usual reluctance to talk too much has also changed. Today, when she touched her lips, what she said immediately made Jia's mother very happy.
The first item was delivered, and then Daiyu took out several more items, a dragon-head crutch carved with huanghuali, a head made of thumb-sized pearls, and a bolt of cloud brocade.
This box of gifts directly stunned the Jia family present. When Daiyu came to Rongguo Mansion, she was almost empty-handed. Only someone came. In their impression, the Lin family lived in that kind of countryside. Relatives who have never seen the world; Lin Daiyu is a poor man who came to fight the autumn wind.
Seeing them today, they finally really understood what Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi represented, and what was going on with the Lin family.
Daiyu didn't care about the doubts of Jia's family, so she asked Fu Ling to open the second box. This box was not small, and there were two small boxes inside a big box. There is a small ivory screen with exquisite carvings, and a Sichuan brocade.
Taking out the contents, Daiyu held it up to Mrs. Xing, "This is prepared by my niece for my aunt, and I hope my aunt will not despise the poor book."
Mrs. Xing laughed so hard that she could hardly see her eyes. In the past, she was never given gifts as the eldest wife of the Rongguo Mansion. She said that she was not an official, but it turned out that she was in the private treasury of the Jia Wang family?
Today, this niece, who is not usually liked by her, has given her a face!Where can I still feel disgusted? "Where is the niece talking? You have such a heart, and it's too late for my aunt to be happy? How can you dislike her? It's the eldest aunt who wants to ask for trouble."
Daiyu was a little surprised, everyone said that her eldest aunt came from a small family and was not in the public eye, seeing her today was really unexpected.
Smiling, Daiyu didn't speak again, but turned around and opened the things on the right, which turned out to be a Buddha statue made of gold, a set of sapphire heads, and a piece of Shu brocade, which were for Mrs. Wang.
"This is for the niece to honor the second aunt. Since the niece came to Rongguo Mansion, she has been taken care of by the second aunt. I hope the second aunt will accept this idea." Everyone knows the so-called care.
When Madam Wang heard Daiyu's words, she still had no expression on her face, but in Mu Linlang's relaxed mental power, she could clearly see that Madam Wang's hand holding the handkerchief was tightly tightened. The veins are popping out.
Mrs. Wang smiled, with a very stiff expression on her face, "Miss is overthinking, those of our relatives are as they should be."
Daiyu looked at Mrs. Wang with a loving face, and sighed in her heart, if it wasn't for the careful training of her father and Nanny Lu who came out of the palace recently, she might be deceived by the loving second aunt in front of her again, right?Sure enough, she was still too young.
Without further ado, I opened the third box. This box was obviously much smaller than the two just now. It also contained two smaller boxes. When I opened it again, I found a set of white jade noodles and a set of red coral noodles. These were for Li Wan and Wang Xifeng respectively. Among them, Li Wan's share also had a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and Wang Xifeng's was a very delicate and lovely bead flower, which was for Jia Lan and Qiaojie.
The sisters in Jia's house each have a hairpin from "Mutu Pavilion". The hairpins are made of different materials and carved with different patterns, including peony, winter jasmine, rose, and green lotus.
Holding the small box containing these hairpins, Daiyu walked up to the girls and said with a smile: "Sisters and sisters, these hairpins are specially made by Daiyu's masters at Mutu Pavilion, and they are specially given to you. It’s for the sisters, please don’t dislike it.”
The girls were not too polite, they went forward to pick out the hairpins they liked, and Xichun even put them in her hair immediately, presumably she liked them very much. "Thank you, Sister Lin. I really like Qinglian's hairpin sister."
Several other girls from the Jia family also expressed their love for the gift.But Xue Baochai's focus was on another place, "According to Sister Lin, the Mutu Pavilion is your family's property?"
Daiyu smiled, but said nothing, Xichun said quickly, "Sister Bao's place of affection has never been the same as ours."
In a word, Xue Baochai blushed.Daiyu lowered her head and smiled, and stopped talking.
The last box was for the gentlemen in the mansion. Needless to say, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Cong were all a set of newly made stationery and a set of newly published books.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Xing had no objection. On the contrary, Mrs. Wang was so angry that she tore a piece of the handkerchief when she saw that the gift was actually for Jia Huan's concubine son. Mu Linlang knew.
On the contrary, Tanchun's expression has changed. The third girl of Rongguo Mansion, who is known as the "thorn rose", has never looked down on her biological mother and younger brother. Almost everyone in Rongguo Mansion knows about this matter. dawn.Not to mention Daiyu who has lived in Rongguo Mansion for several years.But today, in front of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, Daiyu blatantly counted Jia Huan among the masters of the Jia family. Isn't this a blatant slap in the face of Mrs. Wang?Tanchun felt that Daiyu was too ignorant of what was good and what was wrong. After all, the second wife was in charge of the Rongguo Mansion in Nuoda.Didn't you see that Sister Feng, who is now divorced from the second wife, has already lost her power of housekeeper?On the contrary, she, sister-in-law, and elder sister Bao have become the directors of the house together. This is the benefit of holding on to her thighs. This Daiyu really lives and returns!Don't be close friends.
Daiyu didn't know that she had already been marked by Tanchun as an unfamiliar friend, but even if she knew, Daiyu probably wouldn't mind now, would she?With the support of her capable father and younger brother, Daiyu can no longer see the cautiousness of the past!
After finally distributing the presents, Daiyu sat next to Mu Linlang, instead of sitting next to Jia Mu.In her heart, she has already made up her mind to follow in the footsteps of her father Lin Hai and stay away from her maternal ancestral home.Besides, according to her father's opinion, she will not stay in Rongguo Mansion for a long time this time, and people from Jing'an Hou Mansion will come to pick her up, and she is looking forward to it.
When Daiyu's gift was distributed, some people were happy and some were angry.Seeing it in her eyes, Jia's mother had a calculation in her heart.Judging from the behavior of the Lin family this time, Lin Hai probably has a deep hatred for Rongguo Mansion.It seems that they need to adjust.
After all, Jiang is old and hot, and Jia's mother calmly chatted with Mu Linlang and Daiyu about their parents. Even Mu Linlang had to admit that this old lady of Jia's family is indeed very cunning.
"Mrs. Xue." Mu Linlang didn't raise her hand this time, and just nodded at Aunt Xue.
Then he went straight to Li Wan. "This is sister-in-law Zhu." He pointed to Wang Xifeng who came over to watch Mu Linlang, "This is sister-in-law Lian."
