Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Chapter 4 First Arrival at Jia Mansion (4)

Mother Jia secretly praised Aunt Shen for being a man, and said with a smile, "Good boy, it's hard for you to be so polite."

Looking at the box again, the red ones are rose cakes, and the white ones are lotus root flour cakes, neatly arranged.

Mother Jia had never eaten anything, and she was already tired of these snacks, but she still took a piece and tasted it, and said with a smile, "It's different from what we do here."

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "It's made according to the method in the south, I don't know if it suits your taste."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Grandmother also lived in Jinling, how come she can't get used to it, it makes my sister bother, this is also my fault, my sister doesn't know the place, I will take my sister for a walk."

Jiamu said with a smile, "You mean, take your sister around to identify the door."

Jia Baoyu also said, "I'll go too."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "Their sisters are going to visit, what are you going to do with them?"

Jia Baoyu was unhappy, watching Lin Daiyu and Lin Wanru go out.

First went to Mrs. Wang's. Mrs. Wang was chanting scriptures in the small Buddhist hall and didn't dare to disturb her. Jin Chuan'er took the things and thanked her: "I'll tell my wife when she finishes reading the scriptures."

Went to Wang Xifeng's place again, Wang Xifeng was settling accounts with a few ladies in charge, and now he was going to build a provincial house, and all kinds of decorations in it had to be purchased, and this alone cost a lot of money, and he was planning where to embezzle it from.

Seeing the two sisters from the Lin family coming in, Wang Xifeng hurriedly told the ladies in charge to leave, and then asked Ping'er to serve tea, and said with a smile: "It's really a rare visitor, why are you here?"

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Of course we are here to deliver things. Please take care of the second sister-in-law. My aunt and sister made some snacks for the second sister-in-law to taste. It is also a thank you."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Oh, look at what she said, it seems that she is also my sister, if you say thank you, you are so polite, I don't think it is to thank you, but to spoil the situation, where am I?" Take good care of me, calling my sister so polite?"

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "Nothing, my mother is also idle around, making these things, I thought that I am not familiar with the place, so I asked my sister to bring me to identify the door, in the future, I will come to Sister Feng, Sister Feng Don't say no."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Sister said that, you still make me die? Now that you are here, you must stay for dinner! I still have some good things here. I haven't let anyone see them, so I'll ask you to pick them first."

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "That's impossible. We are here to deliver things, not for dinner. The second sister-in-law really wants to invite her, so she will choose a good day and post it seriously. My sister and I will decide whether to come or not." .”

Wang Xifeng was not annoyed, and pointed to Lin Daiyu's forehead: "You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and you can't say a word without thorns. In the future, people who are like dough can stand your sharp mouth."

Lin Daiyu blushed, annoyed, and pulled Lin Wanru to leave, Wang Xifeng laughed, and Lin Wanru also turned around while walking with a smile: "I will come to see my sister some other day."

After leaving the courtyard, Lin Daiyu said, "Young girl Feng can make fun of people."

Lin Wanru just smiled, which made her even more ashamed, so she simply ignored others and walked ahead.

Then I went to Sanchun and Li Wan, collected things and thanked each other. After leaving Li Wan's place, I went to Aunt Xue's again.

Aunt Xue was looking for shoes with the girls, when she saw the two of them coming in, she asked the girl to pour tea, and said with a smile: "My son, I was talking about asking you to come over for dinner, but I told you to come first."

He also asked someone to call Xue Baochai, and said with a smile: "I was thinking of inviting you to have a drink, but I was afraid of disturbing your purity. I thought it would not be too late to invite you later, but I didn't expect you to come here first."

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "You are an elder, it is only right that I come to greet you."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Look at the sweet mouth, good girl, I'll call your sister Bao, and you sisters can talk together."

Xue Baochai had already lifted the curtain and came in, greeted each other, chatted for a while, Xue Baochai said with a smile: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, and tonight, I will invite my sister Wanru and Aunt Shen to eat at the bar, and then I will invite you. Let's have a good time with the Tan girls as companions."

Aunt Xue naturally agreed, and asked someone to write a post in a serious manner and send it to various places.

Not long after, Aunt Shen and the three sisters of the Jia family came over, and Jia Baoyu was also with her. Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "Auntie is biased, why don't you invite me?"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "My son, where you are missing, I am afraid that it will disturb your study."

Jia Baoyu laughed and said, "I'd rather not study than miss this excitement."

Everyone made fun of him, the young sisters surrounded him and chatted inside, Aunt Xue wentssiping with Aunt Shen, both of them were widows, they brought their children to relatives, so naturally they cherished each other, and after a while, they talked about everything .

In the evening, Aunt Xue asked someone to bring up the big round table, and prepared good food and wine. Jia Baoyu saw Aunt Xue's bad letter of duck with goose feet at the table, and said to Lin Wanru, "Sister Wanru doesn't know that the duck with goose feet made by my aunt Letter is the best, you have to try it.”

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Taste it yourself, it seems that you don't like these things."

Jia Baoyu patted his head and said with a smile: "I forgot, Wan Ru's sister came from Jiangnan, so there is no good food there."

Lin Wanru smiled. In her previous life, her Lin family was one of the most wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou. It is not an exaggeration to say that the family has mountains of gold and silver. She is also an only daughter. Although the dishes are good, Yu Lin Wanru is also ordinary, but she likes to eat lighter food, and she is not used to the smell and taste of those distiller's grains.

Aunt Xue was hospitable and warmly greeted everyone to eat food, and drank two glasses of wine with Aunt Shen. Mother Jia saw that Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu hadn't come to dinner, and knew that everyone was eating at Aunt Xue's place. A few dishes were brought over, and some young girls also drank some wine. After playing until the second watch, Aunt Xue asked the women to wait on them, and sent them back happily.

Because she drank two more glasses of wine, Aunt Shen had a bit of a headache the next day, Lin Wanru hurriedly asked Long Yan to make strong tea, and said: "Mother is the same, even if you are happy, you should drink less."

Aunt Shen smiled and said: "I was good at drinking when I was young, but now that I am old, I am not as good as you young people."

From then on, Aunt Shen and Aunt Xue became more and more acquainted with each other, and they were close to each other. They often went to talk, and Lin Daiyu often took Lin Wanru to Jia's mother to chat and laugh with some sisters, and Lin Wanru gradually became part of Jia's family. Life.

The Jia family is now preparing for Jia Yuanchun's visitation, and everyone is busy, except for a few girls and Jia Baoyu. Hang out with a few sisters.

When the sisters were writing and reading, he would grind ink and pass the pen along with them. When the sisters were doing needlework, he would pick up the needle and thread the thread.

Lin Wanru doesn't seem to understand what Lin Daiyu likes about him. As a man, he has no future at all. Could it be that he will spend his whole life in the inner house?Everyone is still accustomed to it, as if it should be taken for granted. Lin Wanru wanted to ask Lin Daiyu, but she couldn't open her mouth. Beauty is in the eye of a beholder. I'm afraid Jia Baoyu is good in Lin Daiyu's eyes. of.

However, Jia Baoyu did not tell Lin Daiyu that whether it was food and clothing or daily living, sitting and sleeping, it was much more detailed than other sisters, not to mention that the two of them lived together with Jiamu, and they could not be separated for almost a moment.

Lin Wanru saw it, and was also very moved. Jia Baoyu was able to do this, which shows that he put his heart into it, and they are cousins. All kinds of weirdness have also been endured.

In the blink of an eye, it's October, and the furniture of the relatives' house has been completed. It's only a matter of setting up the curtains, antiques and treasures. Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng are so busy that Xue Baochai came to talk to Lin Wanru. He sighed: "The former son inscribed the plaque in the relatives' hospital, and Baoyu turned around inside. It is really rich and noble made of gold and silver. I don't know if we have the knowledge of good fortune."

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "My sister's family is also from an imperial businessman. With his wealth, is it rare for my sister? I'm boasting about others."

Xue Baochai sighed in displeasure, and said: "Wealth and honor are said to be charming. If you ask me, no matter how precious this gold and silver are, they are things that are not brought with them when they are born. How many people work hard for it, and even lose their hearts. I am envious of those scholars, although they are poorer, they have left a reputation through the ages, isn't it comparable to the dandies in the wealthy circle?"

Lin Wanru smiled and said: "Based on what my sister said, it's worth our exaggeration, scolding well, and scolding happily. I remember an old friend once said that even if there is a thousand-year-old iron barrier, there must be a piece of dirt. The words gold and silver are really useless."
