The Fate of the Red Chamber

On the second day of the first lunar month, it is customary for daughter-in-laws to bring their children back to their natal home for New Year greetings.The Lin family has no elders, only Mo Han took Daiyu to Jia's residence.Just because the prince moved out to serve as a senior official, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, Aunt Xue, etc. did not bring a few girls and young masters to the Wang family, but waited in the mansion for the brothers and sisters of the Lin family to come to the door.

The main gate of Rongguo Mansion was wide open, decorated with lanterns and festoons, and it was very festive.Seeing the scene outside from the car window, Daiyu couldn't help laughing at herself. Back then, a girl with no honor could only enter through the corner gate of Jia's mansion, but now she can go back to the gate of Jia's mansion.

Jia She and Jia Zheng greeted him at the gate with his nephew and nephew. Mo Han was sealed as a first-rank county king, so he should not be treated as an ordinary junior, otherwise he would be charged with contempt for the royal family if he was not careful.The second wife of Xing Wang waited at the second gate with her family members, and only Jia Mu waited in the main courtyard.

The national ceremony first, and then the family ceremony, even if Mother Jia and others were unwilling, there was nothing they could do. You must know that they would still kneel down when they saw Yuan Chun, and that would be their daughter and granddaughter.

Daiyu Mohan is not a person who sticks to customs, but doing things in her position is the way to protect herself, not to mention that Mohan doesn't want the people in Jia's family to underestimate their brothers and sisters for the first time, and will get worse in the future in an attempt to control them. them.Even though Daiyu couldn't bear it secretly, she didn't say anything after all, and acted according to her elder brother.

In order to show respect to Jia Mu, Mo Han invited Jia Mu to be the first seat, and he and Daiyu sat on the left and right respectively.

"Old lady, my brother and I have prepared something. Later, please send someone to deliver it for us according to the name on the sign." Recently, Nanny Han has been studying royal etiquette for Daiyu. , Daiyu's demeanor and tone clearly carried a kind of gentle and majestic royal demeanor.

"The two of you are family members, but you come to your uncle's house to hang out and bring gifts for what you do? You must never do this in the future." Mother Jia is more and more satisfied with Daiyu, she is the daughter-in-law of Xingwang Family, Regardless of Yu'er's young age and high temperament, if she really wants to do something, then Bao girl is not as good as her.

Mo Han has really seen the Rongguo Mansion in the Red Mansion. Although he has the atmosphere of everyone, it’s a pity that he is too extravagant. That's fine.Even if the old lady has a bit of wrist, she is old after all and cannot save the decline.Mo Han swept around the people in the room, and then said to Jia Mu with a smile: "Old lady, this is a wish from my sister and me. It is not worth a lot of money. It won't win the eyes of my uncle and aunt even if I think about it. It's just a reward." Let's play."

To put it politely, the gift is really not thin, this is the first time for the Lin family brothers and sisters to visit their grandfather's house when they came to Beijing, and it was a big festival, Daiyu carefully changed it again and again.

After being polite, Jia Zhengcai smiled at Mother Jia: "The old lady is here to accompany the Princess to have a drink and listen to a play. Let's go and sit outside with the prince."

"That's the reason, you should entertain your nephew well, don't let others offend you." Mother Jia smiled lovingly.

Mo Han went out first, and only then came to the corner outside the courtyard, and suddenly remembered that Jia Baoyu liked to hang out in the inner room the most, so he wouldn't pester his sister again, no, he had to go and bring him out.Thinking of this, Mo Han stopped and smiled at Jia Zheng: "Second Uncle, I heard that my cousin Baoyu is very talented, why don't you invite him over and let's talk about it together."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he fell in love with Baoyu, and Baoyu was not young anymore. He talked and laughed with his sisters and maids all day long. Baoyu comes over.

Before Jia Zheng was there, Baoyu didn't dare to show off, and hid in the crowd without making a sound. Now that Jia Zheng left, the rest of the room were familiar people, and there was a sister Lin who had been studying for a long time. Don't hold back, jump to Jia Mu in two or three steps.He bowed to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, you're here. My ancestors sent someone to pick you up for the New Year. Why didn't you come? Tell me to wait."

Daiyu avoided going out for a while, smiled slightly, and said softly with her red lips: "Under the big festival, no family is allowed to worship the ancestors, and there are too many family affairs so you can get away."

"Sister, you'd better live with us. You, a daughter of Qing Lingling, can take care of those dirty things. Why don't we still write poems and laugh like before?" Baoyu is 14 this year. The young master is about to start a family at this age, but Baoyu looks like a child, not worried at all.

Before Daiyu could reply, the little maid sent by Jia Zheng had already come in and bowed to everyone: "Old lady, my master asks Second Master Bao to go up front and talk to the prince."

Baoyu instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he thought it was the master's words, he dared not say anything. Besides, Cousin Lin was very handsome and handsome, so it would be nice if he could make friends with him. I'm afraid my sister will be unhappy.

Jia's mother also wanted Baoyu to learn more about how to behave from Mohan, so she readily agreed.Although Baoyu was afraid of Jia Zheng, he had no choice but to follow the little girl.Daiyu let out a sigh of relief, her elder brother had taken care of her, and she wanted to keep Baoyu away, even if she didn't know why, her elder brother's words always made sense.

Jiamu helped Daiyu and the others went to the back together. They were just eating wine and listening to theatre, and there was nothing new.

After Xue Baochai suffered a loss in the Lin Mansion last time, she secretly warned herself that this time she also sat far away and didn't talk much.On the contrary, Sanchun and Daiyu occasionally said a few words. Two years ago, they were very good sisters, but now they feel a little alienated.Daiyu doesn't like lively parties by nature, so she doesn't pay much attention to it. Maybe the sisters will change when they grow up.

After lunch, everyone was planning to rest for a while, but Baoyu came down from the front and hurried this way, with a grim expression on his face.
