The Jade in the Red Chamber is the Royal Courtyard

The pier had already been emptied by servants of the Rongguo Mansion. When Daiyu got off the boat, the mother-in-law and girl from the Jia Mansion came forward to greet Daiyu, and then took over from Granny Xu who had been supporting Daiyu, and carefully helped her up. They got into a soft sedan chair, while Xueyan and other maids were arranged in the carriage behind.

Daiyu quietly opened the corner of the curtain of the soft sedan chair and looked at the bustling capital city. The capital city is indeed very different from Suzhou. First of all, the surrounding buildings are much more majestic than the capital city, and the streets are full of people. There are load-carriers, vegetable sellers, rouge gouache sellers, jewelry sellers, and even jugglers one after another, but there are also a few beggars on the side of the street holding broken bowls and looking at them seriously. The past team of Rongguo Mansion.

Daiyu quietly put down the curtains, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, what kind of battle will the Jia family put up for herself?

After walking for another half day, I suddenly saw two big stone lions squatting on the north side of the street, three gates with animal heads, and a dozen or so people in beautiful clothes sitting in front of the gate.The main door is not open, only the east and west corners are used for people to come in and out.There is a plaque above the main entrance, and on the plaque are five characters of "Decree to build Ningguo Mansion".Daiyu thought: This must be the eldest house of my grandfather.

Thinking about it, he went west again, and about a shot away, there was a vermilion golden lacquered gate with the same words Yu Sherong Guofu on it. The main gate was not opened, and there were two tall The stone lion, the stone lion coldly looked at the people coming and going on the street, showing shocking eyes.Outside, there were two children standing with their hands tied.Some of Saza's servants were cleaning there.But he didn't enter the main entrance, only entered the northwest corner.

Daiyu frowned slightly. The Jia family really didn't treat her as food. The imposing cousin didn't even open the front door when she came, let alone one door was draped in red and the other door was hung. I don't know what the Jia family is. What is the intention?

Just as Daiyu was thinking about it, she saw the sedan chair turned into a small alley next to it. There was obviously a corner gate on the other side of the small alley, and there was a servant waiting there with bundled hands.The bearer went forward again, and after walking for about a shot, Daiyu suddenly felt the sedan chair stop when she was driving. At this time, a woman from Jia's family shouted outside, "Miss Lin, please get off the sedan chair!"

Immediately the sedan chair door was opened, and two women went up to help Daiyu. Ever since Daiyu got off the boat, Sixue, a maid beside her, had been rejected by the Jia family. Sixue had no choice but to follow closely. Daiyu's side, while Wang Momo stayed behind to help Daiyu take care of her luggage.

Daiyu didn't do anything, just followed her mother-in-law's wishes, and Daiyu would go wherever the mother-in-law took Daiyu.

"I've seen Miss Lin!" A group of maidservants saw Daiyu being helped down by the woman, and immediately came to greet Daiyu.

"Thank you, everyone." Daiyu smiled faintly. "Xuelan, watch!" Daiyu turned her head and glanced at Xuelan.

"Yes!" Xue Lan quickly took out a kit from her bosom, and quickly scanned the people who came. In fact, there were not many people who came. There were only two strong women carrying a soft sedan chair. Three or four women and five or six little girls, all of them are third-class women and fourth- and fifth-class girls in terms of attire.

Xue Lan took out a pair of purses from the kit, and each purse contained a gold and silver curly in the shape of a small lotus flower.

"It's not a good thing, let's share it!" Xue Lan said while sharing.

"Thank you Miss Lin, thank you sister (girl)." Daiyu smiled lightly and said nothing else.

"Miss Lin, get on the sedan chair!" The woman who came to lead the way immediately said happily.

"Good!" Daiyu nodded.

The two women helped Daiyu onto the soft sedan chair very carefully, and then the two stout women carefully lifted the pole of the sedan chair before going inside.

Daiyu secretly smiled in her heart, no matter where she is, brother Kong Fang is very popular, and if a dozen gold and silver coins are distributed, the price is about ten or two taels of silver. The servants of rich families are really enough to earn money.

All the women stepped down and alighted in front of a hanging flower door, and then came up and opened the sedan chair curtain to help Daiyu get off the sedan chair.Lin Daiyu was still holding her mother-in-law's hand, looking around, the first thing that caught her eyes was the Hanging Flower Gate.

Daiyu followed the women into the Hanging Flower Gate. On both sides were chaoshou verandahs, and in the middle was the hallway, where a large rosewood frame and marble screen was placed.Turning around the screen, there are three small halls, and behind the halls is the main courtyard behind.

There are five upper rooms on the front, all with carved beams and painted buildings. On both sides, there are corridors and rooms on the side of the mountain, with parrots, thrushes and other birds hanging in various colors.On the platform, there were a few girls in red and green sitting. When they saw them coming, they hurriedly came up with smiles and said, "The old lady was still reading just now, but she happened to be here." While opening the curtain, I heard someone reply: "Miss Lin is here."

Daiyu secretly sighed in her heart, no wonder Daiyu in the book did not dare to take another step and say a word when she entered Jia's mansion, for fear of making a mistake and making people laugh. Uneasy, compared with Lin's Mansion, the garden design of the Xiaoqiao Liushui family in Lin's Mansion is simply petty.

Daiyu felt emotional in her heart, her eyes swept lightly at the surrounding environment, and then glanced at Sixue next to her, she saw that Sixue's face was not too shocked, and even the youngest Xueyan didn't say yes Daiyu was overjoyed by the look on her face, it seemed that the disarming power that the Jia family had given her had actually aroused the maidservant's heart.

As soon as Daiyu entered the room, she saw two people coming up with an old lady with silver hair on her temples. As soon as Daiyu saw her, she knew in her heart that it was her grandmother.Fang wanted to meet and salute, but was hugged into her arms by the old lady, crying out loudly.All the people standing underground at the moment covered their faces and wept.

Daiyu felt sore in her heart and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Old lady, but don't cry, you see everyone will be sad when you cry." Suddenly a light voice rang in Jiamu's ear.

Daiyu took a closer look, and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl wiping her tears while holding a handkerchief and comforting Jiamu softly. There is a sweet dimple on the side, and it looks very sweet.

"But old lady, what Yuanyang said is right, when you cry, Miss Lin also keeps crying." A woman dressed as a woman next to her hurried forward to comfort her.But looking at Daiyu with a slight coldness in his eyes, he even kept gouging Daiyu secretly with his eyes.

"Old lady, take it easy!" Another woman also hurried forward and said.But as soon as the woman stepped forward, she was obviously blocked by that woman.

"Sister Lin, don't cry, the ancestors should wipe their eyes too!" Another woman, who was obviously very young although she was dressed as a woman, quickly stepped forward to help Daiyu and persuaded her in a low voice.

After a while, the crowd calmed down, and then Jiamu sat on the seat supported by a maid named Yuanyang. Immediately, a maidservant took towels and other things for Jiamu and others to wipe away their tears.

When everything was all right, Daiyu, with the help of the little maid, went to visit her grandmother—that is, the Shi Shi Taijun, the mother of Jia She Jia Zheng and Jia Min.Immediately afterwards, Sixue and Wang Momo, the maids brought by Daiyu, also stepped forward to greet Jiamu. When Jiamu saw that Daiyu had brought so many maidservants and the mother-in-law frowned slightly, she felt a little annoyed in her heart. Granny Xu can't do things, but she didn't say anything and just praised a few words and it was over.

At that moment, Mother Jia pointed to Daiyu one by one: "This is your first aunt, this is your second aunt, and this is your sister-in-law Zhu, brother Xianzhu's daughter-in-law." Daiyu met them one by one.It turned out that it was her second aunt, Mrs. Wang, who kept gouging herself with her eyes just now, and the one who wanted to please Jia's mother but was afraid of Mrs. Wang was her first aunt, Jia Amnesty's room-filling Mrs. Xing.As for the young woman who sincerely persuaded herself and came to help her, it was Mrs. Wang's eldest daughter-in-law, Li Wan.

Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward to meet them one by one.

Mrs. Xing looked at Daiyu and said quickly: "I haven't seen a girl with allergies, but now I see my niece, but I know it's not bad, but I don't have anything to give to my niece as a meeting gift, just this bracelet." Mrs. Xing quickly asked her A gold silk phoenix bracelet was withdrawn from her wrist and worn on Daiyu's wrist.

"This..." Daiyu hesitated for a moment and did not accept it immediately.

"Hehe, you can accept the meeting gift from your aunt. It's not like other people are so polite to do anything." Jiamu said with a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Daiyu hastily leaned over to thank Mrs. Xing.

"You're welcome!" Mrs. Xing said triumphantly, but here she glanced at Mrs. Wang with her eyes.Mrs. Wang remained calm, but she gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, "Didn't this Mrs. Xing drive herself to the fire? Why did I prepare any meeting gifts for Daiyu?" You must know Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing It's different. When Mrs. Xing entered the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang had been the housekeeper for a long time. You must know that Mrs. Wang is the head of the current family, and Mrs. Xing is just a fill-in house, and her natal family is not considered prominent, but Mrs. Wang is The Wang Family, one of the four famous families of Jia Shi Wang Xue.If it was too thin, Mother Jia's impression of her would change drastically, but if it was too heavy, Mrs. Wang would be reluctant to part with it.

Mrs. Wang was thinking in her heart, but she saw that Daiyu had already bowed down to her. Why didn't Daiyu know what Mrs. Xing's plan was, but she also secretly grieved for Mrs. Xing. It's also the same that they can't get on the stage.

"Get up, get up!" Seeing Daiyu bowing down, Mrs. Wang quickly helped Daiyu up with her hands and said with a smile: "But I know that it is not easy for my niece to wear gold and silver during her filial piety, so I have to give it to my niece." Prepare some suitable clothes, and wear them when you are filial piety!" Mrs. Wang said slowly while she glanced arrogantly at Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Xing's expression changed drastically and she didn't say a word.

"Thank you, Second Aunt, for your generosity!" Daiyu didn't look at Jiamu's face at this moment and hurried forward to thank her.
