The journey from Yongfu Temple to Rongguo Mansion would take at least two hours. When the mother-in-law came to deliver lunch, Shumo heard the news, saying that Daiyu had lost her temper again and refused to eat.

"What's the matter?" Dai Ke still remembered Dai Yu's face when she got into the car.

"Miss really don't know?" Shumo regretted, "I thought that you must have known about Mrs. Lin's funeral, but you didn't act because of your own considerations. I didn't expect that you really didn't know."

"I don't know what, the more you talk about it, the more confused I become."

"I also blame the servant girl for not reminding the girl. Nowadays, the girl still values ​​filial piety, and it is absolutely impossible to put on makeup. After a hundred days, most people will no longer pay attention to these things, at least no one will pursue them after closing the door. It is the rules and the ancients. The etiquette is basically only stricter in the first year. Unless it is deliberately embarrassing, it is generally not forced to wear hemp and filial piety and not eat minced meat for three years, especially girls and big girls who are still growing. Some. Although the master has passed away for nearly three months, it is still within a hundred days. How can the eldest girl not be angry when she sees these two balls of rouge on the girl's cheeks."

"I really don't know the rules," Deke was suddenly annoyed.

When Jia Min died, no one came to tell Dai Ke about these particulars.She was only six years old at that time, let alone in the filial piety period, no one would dress up a six-year-old girl even in ordinary life.She knew that the ancients had many rules, but she was not a major in ancient etiquette, so it would be good if she could memorize them.

"I was young when my wife passed away. I didn't understand these things. I just followed my mother-in-law. I kneeled when I was asked to kneel, and cried when I was asked to cry. How could I have made such a big mistake today. I just thought Lian Er Grandma can't see my bad complexion, so I let her go, or should I wash it off now?"

"I don't think Second Mistress Lian would use such a method. This will be seen by other families. The girl's reputation is ruined, and she can't please her. Most likely, the dressing lady just now pretended to be smart, and the slaves guessed that it was Second Grandma Lian's. The order was to make the girl's complexion look better, but she superimposed on it, thinking that a flush of red is considered a good complexion, so she used rouge for the girl."

Shumo also stayed in a rich family, and it is not uncommon to see servants who look like pig teammates. He thought he was flattering his master, but in fact he stepped on four horseshoes in a row and pulled the horse's tail without knowing it.

"Forget it, it's useless to say anything now. I'll apologize to my sister after I'm settled down. You go get some water first, and I'll wipe off the rouge on your face. The lead powder... is still there. I can't talk to Lian at this time. The second grandma is feuding."

Not to mention how Dai Ke was tossing around in the carriage secretly, as the noise outside the carriage gradually became louder and then gradually quieted down, Rongguo Mansion finally arrived.

The carriage entered the Rongguo Mansion from the West Corner Gate, walked forward for about 100 steps, and stopped at the Erdao Gate.A few servants greeted them from the door, and brought the drivers of several cars to the side room.The idlers all retreated, and only the woman put down the low stool and helped Wang Xifeng and others in the car to get out of the car.

"Second Grandma, you are back, please tell me to wait!" As soon as Dai Ke landed on the ground, she saw a person in a silver-red satin shirt coming out of the second door, with a red golden lotus on her hair. A beautiful woman with a maid's bun.

"Why are you here? Just let everyone from Lai come and pick you up. How can you be used?" Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "This is the second girl from Sister Lin's family, why don't you come over to see her? Second girl, this is from my side Ping'er, if I'm not around in the future, just go to her if you need anything."

"I can't wait. The second master arrived last night. How can I imagine that the second grandma didn't come back. But I didn't sleep well all night, so I asked the old lady for an errand early this morning. Come here and wait for Second Mistress and Sister Lin." Ping'er stepped forward to salute Dai Ke, and then pulled Dai Yu with a smile, "Miss Lin looks good, now the old lady can rest assured. The car is ready, Old lady, lady, girls are waiting."

As Lin Daiyu said earlier, the cars used by the Rongguo Mansion, not to mention the cushions, even the walls and roof are sewn with incense silk.The car is much smaller than the carriage outside, but because there are no extra things in the car, the space inside is not smaller than ordinary cars.

The two cars, with Wang Xifeng sitting in the front, and Daiyu and Daike sisters in the back, were driven by a servant in a long circle and stopped in front of a hanging flower door.Several people got out of the car and walked in with the support of their maidservants.Bypassing a marble screen of rosewood shelf, it was warmly welcomed by various birds in the yard.

There are many parrots, orioles, thrushes and other birds hanging on the corridors on both sides of the yard. No matter they were drinking water before or the ones with feathers, they all raised their furry heads at this time, and they were chirping vigorously.

"Even the beasts know that a distinguished guest is coming!" A sixteen or seventeen-year-old maid greeted her with a smile on the steps, "The old lady can't wait, come with me."

"The old lady even sent out the Yuanyang girl, I've got it all done this time," Wang Xifeng nodded in response.

Dai Ke lowered her head, followed behind Daiyu, followed Wang Xifeng into the room, and when she reached the door, a little maid opened the curtain.When she actually entered the door, Dai Ke took a peek and saw that the room was full of people.

Sitting in the front seat was a kind old lady with a swastika on her forehead, who presumably was Jia Mu.There are two older wives on the left, but I don't know which one is Mrs. Wang and which one is Mrs. Xing.The first two seats on the right hand side were empty, and there were three identically dressed girls sitting in the back row. Judging from their age, they were three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun.

"My darling, it's back!"

When Jia Mu saw that Daiyu was about to get up, the mandarin duck who came in and Hu Po, another big maid who was waiting beside Jia Mu, were frightened and hurried to support the old lady.Lin Daiyu also let go of Zicuckoo's hand, and threw herself into Jiamu's arms with tears in her eyes.

"old lady……"

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. It's hard for you outside, and no one will let you go in the future." Jia Mu hugged Daiyu and sat back in the main seat, lovingly wiping Daiyu's weeping face Qiaolian said, "Cry, cry, cry out all the pain in your heart, and live a good life with your grandmother from now on."

Dai could see that Daiyu was crying sadly, and pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief soaked in ginger juice, and the circles of her eyes instantly turned red.At this moment, Mother Jia also saw Dai Ke and asked, "This girl is...?"

"In terms of the old lady, this is the second daughter of Uncle Lin, whose boudoir name is Ke'er." Wang Xifeng sat down on the empty chair on the right and replied with a smile.

"He's also a filial child," Mother Jia nodded, beckoning to Dai Ke, "Come forward and let me have a look."

Dai Ke stepped forward, and was held by Jia Mu for a good look, "This girl is good-looking, she looks like a lucky girl. From now on, I will live with your sister, don't think I'm a boring old woman."

"It is Dai Ke's blessing to be raised by the old lady, and Dai Ke will definitely serve the old lady and sister with all her heart."

"Look, Miss Lin's mouth is much sweeter than Sister Lin's! Now the old lady won't succeed if she doesn't put her heart into it!" Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes and giggled, "But old lady, you have Brother Bao here, three Miss Lin, if two Miss Lin are added, will the mansion be wiped out?"

"It's really crowded," Mother Jia nodded, "Madam Feng is more considerate. Come and help me think about how to move the place?"

"Old lady, the second girl and the others are about to reach the age of marriage proposal, why don't they move the three sisters to my yard, firstly to make room for the Lin girls, secondly, I just happen to take them with them. " said Mrs. Wang, who was sitting first on the left.

"That's good, so I won't be bullied by Feng girl."

"It's the girls' good fortune to be favored by the old lady. Besides, if you count the second girl and the others, how can the old lady occupy the whole house of girls? Isn't there another girl in the Lixiangyuan?" Mrs. Wang laughed.

"That's right, look at my memory, I was almost fooled by Feng girl," Jia Mu laughed and slapped her legs.

"Huh? Could it be that there is another younger sister in the family when I am not here?" Wang Xifeng first clapped her hands in surprise, and then said angrily, "The old lady wronged me again. I am not at home, how can I know about the new sister. Take It’s really bullying to arrange this for me.”

"Just now you said Ke girl, in my opinion, no one's mouth can compare to your sharp mouth," Jia Mu shook her head helplessly, "That's all, it's my fault. I told you to pick up Lin girl, and I even missed my birthday." I'm busy, I didn't know that there was news of your aunt's coming to Beijing, and when you're free later, go to Lixiangyuan to greet Mrs. Xue's family, she is a serious relative after all."

"Miss Bao is here."

Just as Jia Mu was muttering, there was a little maid outside the door reporting the news, and then the door curtain was raised, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with a dignified appearance and snow-like skin came in from the outside.

"Greetings to the old lady, madam. Mother heard that the sister of the Lin family is back and she has no time, so she asked me to come and say hello to her." Baochai then pointed to the tray in the hand of the servant girl behind her. Jin, make some new clothes for my sister."

"It's true that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here soon, so it's hard for Mrs. Xue's family to have a heart," Jia Mu nodded, "This is your sister Lin, this is the second sister of the Lin family, you two should get closer in the future."

"I've heard Brother Bao talk about Sister Lin and how good Sister Lin is, but now I see her like a fairy in the sky." Baochai sat down on the chair on the right, "Brother Bao asked me for Lengxiang pills earlier. , said to leave it to sister Lin, it is really closer than a brother and sister."

"This elder sister also often plays with Baoyu?" Lin Daiyu had stopped crying at this time, but her eye circles and nose were still red, and she couldn't help asking after hearing Baochai's words.

"Brother Bao used to come to Lixiangyuan to visit me to play, and he often stayed for a whole day, but recently he went to home school, and there were fewer people coming, so he came to have a cup of tea at night, and it seemed that Lixiangyuan was quite deserted. " Baochai replied.

"Baoyu also went to school?" Lin Daiyu seemed to be in disbelief, her eyes widened.

"That's right," Mrs. Wang, who was sitting on the side, interjected happily, "How many times I tried to persuade him to refuse, it's all thanks to Bao girl. Finally, I know that I have made progress. Even the master has scolded me these few days. Less. Calculate the time, it’s time to finish school, and you can ask him carefully when he comes back.”

Daiyu didn't speak after hearing this, she just lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.There were Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai in the room, so it wouldn't be cold because Daiyu didn't speak alone. If you say something, I will praise you, and they chatted lively until Baoyu left school.

"They said my sister is back!" Before Jia Baoyu arrived, the voice came first, and he ran in hurriedly, and stopped suddenly when he saw Lin Daiyu sitting next to Jia Mu.Not seeing her for more than a year, Daiyu's originally immature face has completely grown out, her oval face with willow-leaf eyebrows is slightly plumper than his impression of Sister Lin, but it is much better than when the wind blows and she is about to collapse.

Daiyu sat at the head, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Baoyu with anger and anger.Seeing Baoyu standing there in a daze, blinking his eyes lightly, a tear trickled down his cheek from the corner of his eye.

"Sister, why are you crying?" Baoyu moved her legs to Daiyu's side as if she was disobedient, and stretched out her hand to wipe Daiyu's tears.

Daiyu turned her head, clapped her hands to knock Baoyu's raised hand away, "Who is your sister? Over there is your decent sister!"

"Sister, you look so good when you cry, no, bah, bah, bah, look at my mouth, my sister is the prettiest at any time." Baoyu made a gesture to hit her in the face, which made Daiyu burst into tears.

"I went to school, and my mouth is poor. I really don't know what you have learned."

"Don't mention it!" Baoyu grinned, turned to Jiamu and said coquettishly, "Old lady, I went to study at home because my sister was not around. Those boys only bully honest people and can't learn anything at all. Now that sister Lin is back, You talk to the master, don't let me go again, okay?"

"Bullying people?" Mother Jia felt sorry for her grandson, and she became angry at the time, "Has anyone bullied you without eyes? Tell me, this matter can't be left alone!"

"That's not true. Mingyan scolded them for me." Baoyu shook Jia Mu's arm and said, "It's just that there is a man named Jin Rong who is not convinced that Master Xue has a relationship with him. He wants to see everyone." After taking a few bites, it makes me upset. Anyway, I’m not going.”

"My brother is used to messing around, next time I will pressure him to make amends to brother Bao." Hearing Xue Pan's name was mentioned, Baochai wished to strangle her troublesome brother to death.

"It's none of Uncle Xue's business," Baoyu realized he had said something wrong, shaking his head like a rattle, "If you ask me, Jin Rong shouldn't be bothered. Not only is Uncle Xue right, Sister Bao should go back It's right to praise him."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, it's agreed today, stay with me to eat, and no one is allowed to run away." The maid came to pass the meal, and Jia Mu interrupted Baoyu.
