Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.
The five upper rooms on the front are all decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and the side rooms on both sides are decorated with parrots, thrushes and other birds.
An elegant old woman wearing a green wrinkled silk and a sheepskin coat with a bucket of pearls sat on the couch, and four young maids with no hair on both sides were holding fly brooms and washbasins; there were also five or six old maids on both sides, and many women wearing red and green and precious hairpins and pearls sat on the small stools on the left and right.
The masters of the two mansions came here, and all the beautiful women gathered together, just to wait for Lin Daiyu who came all the way from Suzhou.
"" Dangdangdang!"
A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside, breaking the harmonious atmosphere in the hall.
A maidservant in extraordinary clothes came in slowly, her face full of panic. She immediately knelt on the ground and cried,"Please help, old lady!"
"Save the poor guy in my family!"
‘"Crack!"
Seeing this, everyone present could not help but be stunned.
The person who came was Zhou Rui's wife, Madam Wang's companion, who often worked and appeared at Madam Wang and Second Madam Lian's place, and managed the ladies' travels. Her husband Zhou Rui managed the income and expenditure of the land rent and farm money of Rongguo Mansion, and was one of the managers of Rongguo Mansion. Few people could match him in official status, so what could go wrong?
""Mrs. Zhou Rui, what happened to make you so panicked?"
Mrs. Wang, who was standing next to Grandmother Jia, looked a little unhappy and asked in a cold voice.
In the dignified Jia family, everyone knew that Zhou Rui was hers. If she was bullied for no reason, wouldn't it be a slap in her face?
"lady"
"My man has been sent by you and our ancestors to pick up Miss Lin."
"But he never expected that Master Xuan of the Dongfu would order him to be hung on the archway and whipped. Now he is breathing in but not out."
Zhou Rui's wife showed a miserable look, looking pitifully at Lady Jia and Madam Wang at the top.
What?
As soon as the voice fell, everyone was shocked.
The second master of the East Mansion, Xuan, this name is familiar to everyone.
The youngest son of Jia Jing, the head of Ningguo Mansion, has been brought to Xuanzhen Temple outside the capital since birth, and only returned to the mansion a few months ago.
He has never liked banquets and gatherings.
He only accepted a few trusted followers and lingered in the manor outside the city all day long to study literature and practice martial arts.
Why did he suddenly come to Rongguo Mansion and teach Zhou Rui a lesson?
Everyone in Rongguo Mansion couldn't help but feel surprised and puzzled about this!
Madam Wang, who always had a calm face, showed a fierce look in her eyes for the first time. You have to look at the owner when beating a dog. Jia Xuan's behavior simply didn't take her seriously.
Zhou Rui's wife was still kneeling on the ground, trembling, and did not continue to speak. She lowered her head and looked like she was waiting for orders...........
At the same time,
Lin Daiyu entered Rongguo Mansion from the main gate. After walking an arrow's distance, the servants rested and retreated. The maids behind her caught up and lifted the sedan chair again. Surrounded by the maids, they headed towards the inner courtyard. The courtyard was decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and there were dozens of maids and maids coming and going, showing the nobility and style of the Jia family.
"The old lady was just talking about it, and she just happened to come."
A maid with a slim waist, thin shoulders, and oval face came towards them. She had black oily hair in a bun, a high nose, and a few freckles on both sides of her cheeks. She greeted Lin Daiyu warmly, which made the cautious Lin Daiyu feel good about it and her heart settled down a little.
"Here she comes! Here she comes! Miss Lin is here!"
The maids around were all talking and talking.
"Old lady, Miss Lin is here!"
The crisp voice of Yuanyang, the head maidservant in front of Jia's mother, broke the silence in Rongqing Hall.
"We'll talk about this later."
Jia's mother sat up on the couch and glanced at Mrs. Wang.
"Mrs. Zhou Rui, you wait on the side."
Mrs. Wang suppressed her anger and gave Mrs. Zhou Rui a look.
"Yes!"
Zhou Rui's wife stood in the corner tactfully, not daring to say a word.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the door curtain, and they saw the colorful satin and brocade carved curtains on both sides were lifted up, and a graceful figure appeared in their eyes, with two curved eyebrows that seemed to be frowning but not frowning, a pair of eyes that seemed to be happy but not happy, and a look of sorrow on her cheeks, and a delicate body full of illness.
Tears were in her eyes, and she panted slightly.
When she was quiet, she was like a beautiful flower reflecting on the water, and when she moved, she was like a weak willow swaying in the wind.
Her heart was more intelligent than Bi Gan, and her illness was three times better than Xi Shi.
She was dressed in a simple and elegant manner, not like a noble lady in Beijing, but like a lady from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which made people amazed!
""Hmm!!!"
When Jia's mother saw Lin Daiyu's appearance, she vaguely thought of her own daughter Jia Min. Her expression was moved and she wanted to get off the bed to greet her in person. The maid beside her hurriedly supported her.
"Grandmother!"
Lin Daiyu stepped forward to pay her respects, but was supported by Grandmother Jia and held in her arms:"My sweetheart!"
Both of them could not hold back their emotions and suddenly burst out. Lin Daiyu sobbed softly, and Grandmother Jia also burst into tears and said repeatedly:"Among all my children, I love your mother the most. Now she has left me first and I can't even see her face. How can I not care about her!"
"All right, all right, stop crying, don’t cry and hurt yourself."
Mrs. Wang on the side hurried forward to persuade them to stop the scene, and then Grandmother Jia let go of her hand.
Lin Daiyu took two steps back, knelt on her knees, and bowed deeply:"Daiyu greets grandma!"
"Get up! Get up!"
Grandmother Jia quickly grabbed Lin Daiyu's hand, her face full of reluctance, and said,"It's my fault. It's obviously time, but you're crying and making you sad. You're really getting old and confused."
"Grandmother."
The long-lost family affection made Lin Daiyu feel warm in her heart.
At this time, Grandmother Jia took Lin Daiyu by the hand and introduced the people around her to her one by one:"This is your aunt"
"Met my aunt"
""Okay, okay, that's not necessary."
Mrs. Xing supported her with a warm attitude.
"This is your second aunt."
""Greetings, second aunt!"
Lin Daiyu looked at Mrs. Wang, who had an indifferent expression and deep eyes. For some reason, her heart tightened, unlike the natural
""Okay, okay."
Mrs. Wang smiled faintly, supported him lightly, and then did not say anything else.
"This is your elder brother Zhu's wife, Zhu's sister-in-law."
Just as Jia's mother was introducing Li Wan, Lin Daiyu's eyes moved away from Wang Furen and fell on the chaste, indifferent, elegant and dignified young woman in the crowd. She bowed slightly and saluted.
Li Wan was wise in her dealings with things, but she was also detached from the world. She just greeted Lin Daiyu and didn't say much.
"Go, go and invite the girls."
"Today, a distant guest has just arrived, so you don't have to go to school."
Grandmother Jia held Lin Daiyu's hand, sat on the couch, and said to Yuanyang,
"Yes, old lady."
Yuanyang was knowledgeable and tactful, and came out gracefully.
