Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 410 Jia Mu Daiyu meets
After passing the central courtyard,

The splendid and majestic Rongqing Hall is just ahead. Turn a corner and walk up the wide road to reach it.

Zhang Jinyu and Jia Lian also chased after them from behind. When they saw everyone coming, Wang Xifeng pointed to the house in front.
said;

"Sister Yu'er, in front is where the old lady lives. She must be waiting for you. Aunt Wang and Mr. Hou, shall we go in?"

"Well, let's go,"

Mrs. Wang nodded and replied, then turned around and patted Lin Daiyu's hand. Lin Daiyu's slightly nervous face relaxed slightly, and she glanced at Zhang Jinyu with some worry.

Zhang Jinyu came over and whispered;

"Don't worry, you can live here with peace of mind. I've made arrangements for you. If you feel uncomfortable, just send me a letter and let's find another place to live. Don't worry. When you get back, I'll leave a team of personal soldiers for you to protect you. In your yard."

Hearing Zhang Jinyu's words, Lin Daiyu nodded shyly, with a smile on her face.

Wang Xifeng was stunned. He didn't know what the Marquis said, but he actually made him laugh. It was a good trick.

into the house,
The rooms are all decorated with carved beams and painted beams, and there are verandahs on both sides of the mountain with various parrots, thrushes and other birds hanging on them.

On the chair in front of the door,

There were several maids in red and green sitting there. When they saw them coming, they rushed over to greet them with smiles and said:
"The old lady was still reading just now, but it happened to be here."

So three or four people scrambled to open the curtain cage, and at the same time they heard someone reply:

"Miss Lin is here!"

When Fang wanted to meet him, perhaps because of their blood relationship, before others could be polite, Lin Daiyu and Jia Mu just met each other and cried.

"My Yu'er, my Min'er."

"Grandma, mother is gone."

With a cry of sorrow, Daiyu stepped forward and was hugged into her arms by her grandmother. She screamed "heart and soul" and began to cry loudly.

At that moment, everyone standing below covered their faces and wept, even Daiyu couldn't stop crying.

A sentimental tearful person, an old woman who missed the past and lost her beloved daughter, responded to each other's shouts. When the two met, they couldn't help themselves. They held each other's arms and cried together. Everyone hurriedly tried to persuade each other, and the two sighed. , tears came down like rain, if it weren't for the whole room, I might have become sick from crying.

Jia Mu didn't care about Mrs. Wang and the others. She took Lin Daiyu's hand and looked at her carefully. Ever since her granddaughter was born, she had never seen her because of the long journey and long stay in the south of the Yangtze River. But seeing her today, she was overjoyed to see her again. Everyone was so excited to see Lin Daiyu, who had a natural appearance, beautiful and delicate appearance, and was even more overjoyed.

After catching his breath, he looked at Mrs. Wang, Zhang Jinyu and others who were coming with him, and hurriedly stood up to say hello.

"Mrs. Wang is here too. Thank you madam for escorting us all the way. Otherwise, how would I be able to survive if Daiyu had something wrong with me on the way?"

Mrs. Wang walked over, took Jia Mu's hand and comforted her;

"Don't worry, old lady. Yu'er is a lucky person and not an outsider. Naturally, I want to protect her."

When Mrs. Wang heard what Mrs. Wang said, Mother Jia felt something was wrong, but she didn't think too much. She looked behind Lin Daiyu and saw a woman, an old housekeeper, and a maid. There seemed to be many people outside. It was unclear what was going on. Just looking at Luo Yunhou Zhang Jinyu standing aside, Jia Mu suddenly had a headache. This little evil star was coming, and nothing good happened every time.

"Marquis Luo Yun is here too. Let's sit down and have a rest first. Yuanyang, come over and pour tea for the Marquis. Yu'er is here to see which maid he likes."

When they met, they had to make arrangements. No matter how many people Daiyu brought, the people she arranged were considerate, so Jia Mu asked the maids trained around her to come over and line them up for Lin Daiyu to choose.

Zhang Jinyu sat next to Dongshou's mother, Mrs. Wang, drinking tea without saying a word, watching how Lin Daiyu chose. Speaking of which, the maid trained by the old lady was really good, and she was a good hand both inside and outside, such as the mandarin duck who served him tea and water.

Zhang Jinyu looked at it carefully and saw that it looked like a water hibiscus, with a unique appearance that was alluring. No wonder he was remembered by that old man Jia She. He never forgot it. Yuanyang made another pot of tea, poured a bowl, and said ;

"Master Marquis, the tea is ready, please have a taste."

Taking the tea bowl, Zhang Jinyu took a careful sip. The fragrance was pleasant and lingered in her teeth. She said to herself, "Good tea. It's obviously different from what I just drank. It seems that the old lady served herself good tea alone. No wonder she let Yuanyang drink it." Come over and make tea for yourself. You are indeed a mature man. He is indeed amazing.

Looking back into the hall, the other people were fine, Mrs.

Zhang Jinyu was inevitably a little strange. The two of them had never met. Could it be that if they met, there would be a 'conflict'? Or should it be said that the second wife and Lin Daiyu's mother Jia Min had some disagreements, which involved Lin Daiyu. This is a reasonable explanation.

"Old lady, the maids are here,"

Wang Xifeng stood up and greeted a row of maids to come in. The people in the hall stopped whispering and looked over. They saw all the maids with distinctive looks standing in the room. They were all trained by Jia Mu.

The old lady put away her grief, hugged Lin Daiyu and comforted her;
"Yu'er, when you come here, it's just like your own home. Don't be afraid. If you have anything to do, just tell your grandma. You can also find Feng Yatou, your second sister-in-law. Come, take a look and pick someone to accompany you. , Grandma is also relieved.”

Lin Daiyu wiped her tears and responded with a sob,
"Understood, ancestor."

Lin Daiyu also followed the local customs and called her "ancestor" after Sanchun, which made Jia's mother nod her head happily. She was indeed as smart as her daughter, but her daughter had a hard life and died early.Lin Daiyu looked over and felt that the maids were all the same. She wanted to choose one, but a little girl on the far left caught Lin Daiyu's attention. She blinked and stared at her. She looked cute like that. Suddenly she thought of herself. The personal maid Xue Yan is very naughty sometimes. I thought that the two of them would be happy together. After she calmed down and pointed her hand,
"The ancestor is her."

Mother Jia also looked at the little maid on the left, and she had some impression that she was quite lively and had a personality that complemented Yu'er's.

"Okay, it's you, Brother Ying, come here, and you will be a maid with Yu'er from now on, and be careful in everything."

"Yes, old lady."

The maid who was called Ying Ge, later known as Zicuckoo, nodded fiercely.

When Wang Xifeng saw that the maids had chosen, she let them go down and walked to Lin Daiyu's side, smiling to herself;
"Sister, look, how partial our ancestors are. These little girls are so precious to the old lady that they are not willing to give them away. You picked one first when you came here. But I don't have this kind of treatment anymore, so I'm not afraid of your jokes. I still imagine every day that one day the old lady will show mercy and reward me with one, and I will jump up with joy."

Wang Xifeng's somewhat exaggerated expression made Sanchun and Li Wan laugh out loud. Lin Daiyu's expression also softened a lot and was no longer so sad.

Jia Mu stretched out her hand as if to hit her, laughing and cursing;
"Look, look, they are all looking at the collector's property like my old lady. If you want to wait first, you can find it everywhere."

"That's right. If I really give it to you, I'm afraid you'll start to worry again, and maybe you'll even make the old lady angry because she gave you a maid."

Li Wan, who had been silent all this time, became bolder and laughed at Wang Xifeng, which made Zhang Jinyu look at him more greedily.

Wang Xifeng's face turned red, what she said was true. If she really gave it to her, considering Jia Lian's temperament, she would really be looking for trouble for herself, but she couldn't just laugh at her. She just thought that the person who said the words was her sister-in-law. Neng cursed in his heart, "You are a chaste and fierce woman. Who doesn't know who you are?"

broken words on the mouth;

"My sister-in-law, you can stand and talk without your back hurting. If you want it, you are not like me, and I won't give it to you."

Jia Mu patted Wang Xifeng's hand and said,

"Okay, it's up to you to be clever."

Then he looked at Luo Yunhou, mother and son, and said,
"Master Marquis, Mrs. Wang, I made you laugh and neglected you two."

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and smiled, also saying something comforting,
"My condolences, old lady. Now that Yu'er can come to you safely, it is the greatest blessing. Be sure to take care of yourself."

Jia Mu sighed,

"Hey, I thought Min'er just had a little typhoid fever, but I didn't expect that Min'er was so seriously ill. She and Ruhai both left. It's really painful for me."

Lin Daiyu's expression changed. Her grandmother didn't know that her parents were poisoned to death. What was going on?

"Grandma, mother, they are"

Zhang Jinyu kept staring at Lin Daiyu, and when she saw her speaking, she hurriedly interrupted;
"My condolences to the old lady, I didn't want to interrupt the old lady, but I have something that I have to explain clearly."

Mother Jia's heart skipped a beat, wondering what had happened. She turned around and looked at Jia Lian, who was sitting at the bottom. She saw Jia Lian sitting there silently, which was extremely abnormal.

"Master Marquis, please speak, I am all ears."

Zhang Jinyu always felt a little helpless when facing Jia's mother. Sure enough, Jiang was still very hot, so she couldn't help but stand up and bow her hands. The etiquette was in place.

"Someone, bring the things in."

moment,

The soldiers outside the door carried a dozen boxes of various sizes and came in, then placed them one by one in the hall, arranged neatly.

Everyone in the room was curious, looking at the box in front of them without knowing why. Li Wan's eyes were always chasing Zhang Jinyu's figure with spring in his eyes, and Wang Xifeng was also guessing what it was.

Mother Jia, on the other hand, seemed to understand something in her heart, and her face looked a little ugly. She glanced helplessly at Lin Daiyu in her arms, thinking of her daughter Jia Min, who had been very smart since she was a child, and she knew her son-in-law Lin Ruhai's skills. She must have left when the two of them left. She would definitely arrange and entrust her only daughter to someone else, but thinking that her daughter would not tell her anything before she left, Jia Mu felt sad for a moment.

Wang Xifeng didn't show up either, staring at the box on the ground with a pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes, eyebrows twitching at the top of her two willow leaves, and her pink face asked with a hint of spring power;

"Oh, what do you mean, Mr. Marquis? He took all these things, did he think of good things, but he couldn't be interested in any of the girls in the house."

Zhang Jinyu didn't expect Wang Xifeng to say this, but she looked down upon her.

"I just saw the old lady giving away her maid, and she was praised so highly by Sister Feng. Do I really want one?"

"Oh, who does the Marquis want? I remember that you walked away with someone last time I entered the house. Is it possible that you have to walk by someone every time you come to the house? Then you might as well not come. Rongguo Mansion doesn't have that many people. Girl, give it to you.”

Wang Xifeng didn't know if she meant anything. Li Wan blushed and lowered his head, still muttering in his heart that what Wang Xifeng said was not about herself. It was really annoying when the two met that night.
