Red House Shoufu

Chapter 38
Daiyu, who was playing chess with Xueyan, suddenly seemed to hear her brother's voice, and she crossed the screen and saw Lin Shu at the door.

She smiled sweetly: "Why is brother standing at the door and talking and not coming in?"

"I'm just here to see if you've settled down here. I'll go to Weizhong's side later to see what's going on. You can play with the snow geese first, and I'll send someone to your room during dinner. .The capital is extremely cold, so don’t go out if you have nothing to do.”

Lin Shu gave some instructions, Daiyu nodded obediently, and continued to play chess with Xueyan seriously.

Wang Momo quickly found the prescription, gave it to her son Wang Lun, and was accompanied by Fuquan to Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Shu took a look at Wang Huan, and found that his side had also been tidied up, so he went back to the study.

The arrival of the Patriarch brought vitality to the Lin Mansion in the capital, and the maids and servants all wanted to show their excellence in front of Lin Shu and Daiyu.

In just one day, Lin Shu selected [-] good young men from the family, and handed them over to Fuquan for training.

Daiyu was paired with eight more maids. As she grew older, she would start to have good family relations with the Lin family. The majestic Rongjia county owner couldn't just take one or two maids out.

……

After arriving in the capital on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, after a day of tidying up and resting, Lin Shu finally arranged everything properly.

On the third day after arriving in the capital, that is, in the morning of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Shu asked Nanny Zhang to bring out the whole set of the county master's ceremonial car.

Luan and phoenix brocade, a gold-wrapped and silver-inlaid carriage, eight maidservants and servants holding red sticks, and golden umbrellas standing beside the carriage.

According to the system, the emperor should bestow the court ladies and servants, but Lin Shu declined on the grounds that he did not want to spend the court's money and food, but the pair of guards of honor followed.

When going out today, the Lin family will act as the guard of honor.Lin Shu was still wearing a simple Confucian robe, only wearing a purple cloak.Daiyu, on the other hand, was forcibly put on the whole body of the county lord's crown by Nanny Zhang.

Emerald Jade Crown, Big Red Silk Shirt, Dark Green Silk and Gold Embroidered Cui Cuizi, Green Luo Gold Embroidered Peacock Xiapei, and Gold and Silver Pendant Head.

Because of the cold winter, Mother Wang put a red fox cloak on Daiyu again, a noble lady from the Hou family, showing off her demeanor.

When Daiyu got into the carriage, apart from Nanny Lu staying at home, Nanny Wang and Nanny Zhang also accompanied Daiyu into the carriage.

As soon as Lin Shu set off, he walked towards Dashi Yongfang Ningrong Street in the southwest of the imperial city.

The main frame of the county is very large, and it is driven by two horses. The level of the driver is very good.Xueyan handed the stove to Daiyu: "Miss, hold it in your hand to keep you warm."

After Daiyu put the stove in place, Mammy Zhang began to warn: "After the county lord goes to Rongguo Mansion, you must not lose the prestige of the county lord. Except for Mrs. Rongguo and General Jia's wife, the rest of the Jia family are waiting for you. There is no order higher than yours. You only need to pay respects to Mrs. Rong Guo and Mrs. General, and as for Wang Yiren, just bow your head and pay respects."

"But she's my second aunt, wouldn't that be too rude?" Daiyu asked puzzled.

Nanny Zhang explained with a smile: "Although the county head is granted by a foreign surname, the county head is conferred by His Majesty, that is, he is equal to the daughter of the county king. The etiquette of the monarch and his ministers cannot be abolished. It should be the first to discuss the rituals of the emperor and his ministers."

There is also a difference between the county lord and the county lord. A county lord with a title like Daiyu has a higher status than the untitled county lords in the Four Princes' Mansion.

Jia Wang's family is only a five-rank pleasant man, and when he sees Daiyu, he has to give blessings first.

Nanny Wang relieved herself, thinking that today she could finally see Mrs. Jia bowing her head in front of Daiyu.During those three years, Daiyu was tortured by her from time to time, which was not considered poisoning.

Seeing that Daiyu was still hesitating, Zhang Momo gently tugged on Wang Momo's clothes, and Wang Momo hurriedly said, "Girl, the honor of the county magistrate is your majesty's kindness, we can't wipe it away because of the affection of relatives." Your Majesty's face, this will cause unnecessary hindrance to my uncle's future."

Sure enough, when Lin Shu was mentioned, Daiyu made up her mind.But she still sighed: "I'm just worried that the second aunt will take her anger out on the third sister. She is begging for life in front of the second aunt. If it's because of me..."

Mother Wang is also very clear about Tanchun's situation.Daiyu's worries are likely to become reality after the Lin family leaves.

It's not too simple for the aunt to talk to the concubine daughter. What "help" the aunt copy the Buddhist scriptures, pick up Buddha beans to pray for blessings, and grab a lot of excuses.

Seeing Daiyu's worried look, Xueyan whispered: "Miss San has always been smart, and she will always find a way to avoid it. You don't have to worry about this."

Daiyu nodded in agreement. Among the three springs, Tanchun is the most intelligent and quick-witted.I can quietly remind Sister Feng and ask her to help take care of it.

Just as she was thinking, the carriage stopped slowly, Xueyan raised the curtain, and she had already arrived at the entrance of Ningrong Street.

Ningrong Street is still full of people coming and going, and there are many vendors on both sides of the road selling new year's goods.

Only the area around Ningrong and Rongfu is clean, and there are several servants guarding the gate at this moment.

Seeing the chariots and horses of the Lin family from a distance, especially the extravagant and luxurious chariots of the county lord, he immediately reported to the mansion.

Passers-by gave way to Lin Shu and the others one after another, retreated to the sides to look at the guard of honor of the county magistrate curiously, and whispered to the people next to him from time to time, discussing in low voices.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng had known for a long time that the Lin family was visiting the mansion today. As peers and young masters of Rongguo Mansion, the couple came to the door to greet them.

The biggest difference from Daiyu's first time entering the mansion this time is that the middle door is opened, and there are servants standing in a circle on both sides.

The light in Wang Xifeng's eyes became even brighter when he saw Daiyu in the crown of the county lord.Now, her good aunt's eyes are going to turn red with jealousy!
"Haha, why didn't my cousin and cousin take a break? It's freezing outside, let's go into the house quickly!"

Jia Lian went up to greet her, and kindly pulled Lin Shu to enter the mansion. The servants on both sides bowed and bowed down: "Welcome County Lord Rongjia, welcome Uncle Lin!"

Daiyu personally helped Wang Xifeng, who was already pregnant: "Why did Sister Feng come out? You are not an outsider, why did you come out with a big belly? Brother Lian is really..."

When Jia Lian heard Daiyu's accusation, he felt warm in his heart.He turned around and explained to Daiyu: "What my cousin said is that I won't let her come out, but your sister Feng said that this evening is different from the past, she greets you just to show some people, this Rongguo Mansion, there are many people who welcome you." Cousin's people."

Lin Shu's ears twitched. It seemed that the Rongguo Mansion had gradually split.Thinking about it, the one who doesn't welcome their brother and sister is probably the Jia Wang family.

Daiyu smiled wryly, but didn't continue the conversation.Several people entered the mansion, and Wang Xifeng accompanied Daiyu to the Rongxi Hall to meet Jia Shishi.

Lin Shu told Mammy Zhang: "Jia Baoyu from Rongguo Mansion likes to mess around in the inner hall, Mammy be careful not to let him bump into Yu'er. Just do what you want, and I will take care of everything."

Nanny Zhang smiled and replied: "Master, don't worry, this old slave is still a high-ranking female official, the son of a fifth-rank official, you can't let this old slave be presumptuous!"

After finishing speaking, he hurried away in the direction of Daiyu.

Seeing Nanny Zhang leave, Jia Lian joked, "Cousin Lin is not afraid of the old lady's anger? Baoyu is the old lady's phoenix egg, and no one else can touch it."
