The carriage drove all the way into Ningrong Street, entered the gate of Rong Guogong, stopped at Yimen, changed into a sedan chair, passed through the hall, and stopped at Chuihuamen. There were already a group of girls waiting there, Seeing a group of people getting off the sedan chair, they rushed forward to open the sedan chair curtain to say hello.

Lin Daiyu smiled and pointed at a girl with a duck egg face, delicate skin and delicate features, and said: "This is the sister Yuanyang next to my grandmother, sister Yuanyang, please come and greet me in person."

Yuanyang smiled and said: "The old lady was impatient to wait, so she asked me to come and have a look. Fortunately, the young lady is here, go and see the old lady quickly." Then she greeted Aunt Shen and Lin Wanru, "Hello, Auntie, and Miss Lin."

Aunt Shen laughed hurriedly and said, "Since you are the person next to the old lady, how dare I accept your gift."

Yuanyang just pursed her lips and smiled, and personally helped Lin Daiyu into the Chuihua Gate.

As soon as she entered Jiamu's yard, she saw a group of people walking towards a silver-haired old lady. Lin Daiyu was very excited when she saw her, and walked over quickly and called "grandmother". Only then did Lin Wanru know that it was Jiamu. Mother Jia asked Lin Daiyu, crying and laughing, and then asked Aunt Shen. Aunt Shen hurriedly saluted and said, "Good morning."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "It's been hard work for Auntie and her two sisters to come all the way."

Aunt Shen smiled and said: "Thanks to you, the second master Lian of the family took care of me all the way, and it went smoothly." She also asked Lin Wanru to come forward and kowtow.

A girl brought a futon earlier, Lin Wanru kowtowed politely, and said hello, Jia Mu smiled and said: "What a beautiful appearance, I look better than Daiyu, how old is this year? What's your name?" name?"

Lin Wanru said: "As for the old lady, my name is Wanru, and I just turned 12 years old this year."

Aunt Shen quickly thanked her.

In addition to Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and the three sisters of the Jia family, Li Wan, When everyone saw the ceremony, they were chatting and joking, the girl said with a smile: "Second Master Bao is here."

Before the words fell, the curtain was opened, a young and handsome young man hurried in, he looked at Lin Daiyu at first glance, his face was happy, seeing so many people again, his pace slowed down again, Jia Mu waved to him : "Baoyu come quickly."

Jia Baoyu saluted Jia Mu with a smile: "Old ancestor."

Jia Tanchun laughed first: "Didn't the second elder brother always talk about Sister Lin, now that Sister Lin is here, what does the second elder brother ask the old ancestor to do?"

Everyone laughed, and Mother Jia leaned back and forth with a smile, and said, "Except for Sister Feng, it's the probing girl's mouth." Pointing to Aunt Shen and Lin Wanru, she said, "Baoyu, this is Daiyu's aunt and sister. , and will live in our house from now on.”

Jia Baoyu saluted Aunt Shen respectfully, then stared blankly at Lin Wanru: "Why have I never heard of Sister Lin mentioning it?"

Lin Daiyu sat beside Jia Mu and said with a smile: "My sister has been in poor health since she was a child, and she lives with my aunt in her hometown in Suzhou. When my father went to work, he was afraid that the road would be bumpy, so he didn't bring it with him. Few people know about it. .”

Jia Mu nodded and said: "So that's the case. You can't say that you are alone in the future." Lin Daiyu smiled and snuggled into Jia Mu's arms: "In addition to my aunt and sister, I also have my grandmother. lonely."

Everyone laughed, and Jia Tanchun said with a smile: "Now there are two sisters Lin, how can they be called? Are they called sisters Dalin and Sister Xiaolin according to their size?"

Jia Baoyu shook his head: "This younger sister looks like a fairy, so that's not an appropriate name." As he spoke, he began to think again.

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "I'm in small characters like Wanru, my mother and sister call me that, Second Master Bao doesn't mind calling me that too."

Jia Baoyu was overjoyed, and said: "Wanzai in the middle of the water, what a good name, like a younger sister, you are Sister Lin's younger sister, even my younger sister, you don't have to be so unfamiliar, how about calling me Brother Bao?"

Lin Wanru smiled and called Brother Bao.

Jia Baoyu was so happy that he bowed again, and called out "Wanru sister" seriously.

Li Wan took Jia Baoyu to sit down beside Jia Mu and said with a smile, "Baoyu's madness has occurred again."

Everyone laughed, only heard a laugh: "What is so happy, let me listen."

Lin Wanru turned her head and saw that she was a young woman, wearing a phoenix tail hairpin on her head, moon rings on her ears, a necklace on her neck, and a jade pendant on her waist. She was wearing a green silk jacket with an autumn-colored beige. The bright red floral dress was neat and bright, and Lin Wanru couldn't help but secretly praised her. She already had a three-point favor with the person who saw her first.

Jia Mu said with a smile: "You came just in time, come and meet the distinguished guest."

Wang Xifeng glanced over and saw only two unfamiliar faces, so she knew that it was Aunt Shen and Lin Wanru mentioned in Jia Lian's letter, and she stepped forward to salute with a smile: "I'm late, so please forgive me for not being able to greet you personally." crime."

Aunt Shen hurriedly got up to return the gift, knowing that she was Jia Lian's wife, and thanked Jia Lian for taking care of her all the way. Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "You are too polite, we are a family, and we should take care of each other."

He took Lin Wanru's hand again and said with a smile: "At first, I only saw Sister Lin, and I said she was rare in the world. Now that I see this one, I know it's not because I'm so rare, but because your Lin family has a strong aura, and the daughters you give birth to are very rare." It is so beautiful, but it can compare us all.”

Lin Wanru saluted with a smile, and said, "I don't dare to take my sister's words. My sister is a rare figure in the world. Now that I see my sister and a few sisters, I should say these words."

Everyone was stunned, and Mother Jia laughed loudly: "No one has ever been able to answer Feng girl's words, but today there is one, Feng girl, are you convinced?"

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, but when he heard this, he smiled and said: "I am convinced, I am convinced, I can't say that I can speak in the future, but here comes someone who is better than me."

Jia Tanchun also laughed and said, "Sister Wanru is not like Sister Lin's younger sister, but like Second Sister-in-law's younger sister, she can talk like that."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Who says it's not, Feng girl, why don't you hurry up and recognize your sister."

Everyone burst into laughter, Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Old ancestor, please stop teasing me, I'm not going to be able to climb high."

Aunt Shen hastened to be humble, saying that Lin Wanru was young and ignorant, and Jia Mu smiled and said, "I decide, let Feng girl recognize Wanru as her god-sister. Wouldn't it be a good thing to get closer?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Since my ancestors gave me this face, even if my aunt and sister don't agree, I have to lick my face and beg."

Aunt Shen laughed and said: "This is Wanru's blessing, there is no reason why it shouldn't be done." She also called Lin Wanru to call someone.

Lin Wanru smiled and called "Sister", and Wang Xifeng said happily, "My good sister, I should give you a meeting gift, but I didn't bring something good, and I will make it up for you later."

Lin Wanru blinked her eyes: "I recognize my sister as my sister. Is it because of my sister's good things? My sister is too small."

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, and applauded more and more. Everyone also said that they were sisters. Lin Daiyu snuggled into Jiamu's arms and said with a smile: "Look, grandma, Sister Feng snatched my sister away as soon as she came. I don't want to follow her." , you have to decide for me."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "It's because you have more people hurting you. If Feng girl doesn't treat you like a younger sister, tell me and I will vent my anger on you."

Wang Xifeng pretended to sigh: "Am I recognizing my sister? I'm just looking for trouble. When the time comes, I will make sister Lin unhappy, and I will become a dumb man eating coptis, and I can't tell what I'm suffering."

Everyone laughed more and more, Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "Young girl Feng just knows how to act like a baby."

After chatting and joking for a while, Mother Jia asked Aunt Shen and Lin Wanru to go down to rest first, and she talked privately with Lin Daiyu, and everyone dispersed.

Wang Xifeng personally took people to Xunfangzhai. Xunfangzhai is a small and exquisite courtyard with seven or eight rooms, which is enough to house Aunt Shen, mother and daughter.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "My aunt and younger sister will rest first to clean up the dust. Naturally, we will take care of the two at night. If there is anything inappropriate, please tell me. Now I am in charge of the house. There are many things that I can't take care of." , please forgive me, if you send someone to tell Ping'er in my room, she will come by herself, and the same is true for my aunt who has something to tell her."
