Full grade Daiyu in the Red Chamber

Chapter 4 Snobbery

Two curved brows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy, like a beautiful flower shining in the water when she is quiet, like a weak willow supporting the wind when she moves, she is an independent fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world general character.

When Daiyu entered the room, she gave Jia's mother a blessing and said, "Granddaughter, grandma, please greet me!"

Only then did Jia's mother regain her senses, her eye circles turned red suddenly, she just hugged her granddaughter into her arms, her heart ached, she couldn't help crying again for Jia Min.

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to follow along while wiping and consoling.

"The cousin came here after a long journey, the ancestors can't recruit any more people"

When Jia Mu heard this, she hurriedly said, "It's my fault, it's my fault." Finally, she stopped her sadness, and pulled her granddaughter to look left and right, but she couldn't get enough of it.

The old lady had always liked the pretty little girl, but seeing Daiyu's beauty now, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do, she just held on to her granddaughter's hand and refused to let go.

Daiyu, who was originally dissatisfied with Jia's family, couldn't see that Jia's mother was acting in the slightest at this moment, and her love was genuine.

Mother Jia took Daiyu in her arms, and pointed to the two daughters-in-law who knew her: "This is your first aunt, and that one is your second aunt."

Daiyu hurriedly greeted her.

"The whole family is of flesh and blood, so there is no need to see outsiders like this," Jia Mu said with a smile, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang agreed repeatedly.

Mrs. Xing couldn't help asking: "When I saw this niece, I was stunned. I never imagined that there are such people in the world!"

Mother Jia laughed more and more when she heard the words, she only said that this eldest daughter-in-law has never been as flattering as others, and now she seems to be enlightened.

On the other hand, Mrs. Wang just smiled and didn't speak, as if she was a wooden figure.

Mother Jia felt a little dissatisfied when she saw this, and she didn't wait to say anything, only to hear another maid outside announced that it was Aunt Xue, mother, daughter and Sanchun who had come.

When everyone saw the appearance of the girl in the old lady's arms, they were taken aback for a moment, and then stepped forward to salute.

Jia Mu then pointed out everyone to Daiyu one by one, and after some greetings, they sat down to gossip.

I don't want to say a few words in this room, and then I heard a crisp voice coming in from outside.

"I came late, I never greeted the distant guests"

Upon hearing this voice, Daiyu guessed that the person must be Wang Xifeng.

I saw her pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow-leaf hanging eyebrows, slender figure and coquettish figure, pink face full of spring vigor, red lips before smiling, dressed in brilliant colors and embroidered brilliantly, as if Like a fairy concubine.

Daiyu hurriedly got up again to salute.

Wang Xifeng grabbed Daiyu, looked around, and praised again and again: "I never imagined that there are such iconic figures in the world. I can't blame my ancestors for weighing them day and night. It's a pity that my poor aunt couldn't do it." I am willing to go early!" As he spoke, he wiped away his tears with a handkerchief.

Jia's mother scolded with a smile, "Don't recruit us again, so you persuaded your cousin."

"This must be Lian's sister-in-law?" Daiyu asked with a smile.

Mother Jia was a little curious, "How do you know it's her?"

But Daiyu jokingly said, "Cousin Lian said when I came here that the most pungent daughter-in-law will be your sister-in-law when people see you."

Everyone immediately laughed.

"Okay, you teased me the first time we met, it's time to fight!" Wang Xifeng feigned anger.

Mother Jia bent down with a smile, and only hugged her granddaughter in her arms, "I want to beat you back to the house and beat your man, but don't bully my granddaughter."

Wang Xifeng's face collapsed when he heard the words, and he put on a handkerchief and pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes: "The old ancestor really likes the new and dislikes the old, he only praised me yesterday, but today, when my sister comes, I don't like it That's all, I'll just go."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet." Daiyu shouted, with a narrow smile on her face: "Cousin Lian's original words were about my most pungent and beautiful daughter-in-law."

Everyone laughed and made jokes one after another.

Wang Xifeng blushed for a moment: "Look, look, my ancestors always said that I was that monkey, today I finally saw someone who is worse than me." Then he stepped forward to pinch her mouth .

Daiyu just laughed and hid in Jiamu's arms.

After a while of joking and joking, the relationship between Daiyu and the crowd became much closer. The girl brought tea and fruit, and chatted while eating.

"Feng girl, is the yard prepared for your sister ready?" Mother Jia asked.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, the old ancestor, it has already been cleaned up. Earlier, I followed Lian Er's letter, saying that my sister was accompanied by more than a dozen slaves. I thought that the ordinary small courtyard would not be able to be arranged. This is both nice and spacious. After thinking about it, I cleaned up the plum garden."

"Plum garden? It's an elegant yard. I remember that there were many plum trees planted in that yard. The scenery is always very beautiful in winter. It would be elegant for you sisters to cook wine and enjoy the plum blossoms there. Well, it’s a bit far away from my old lady.”

Daiyu first thanked Wang Xifeng, and then said to Jia Mu: "Grandmother, don't be sad. No matter how far you are, it's just a few more steps. I have to bother you from time to time!"

Only then did Jia's mother sweep it away, and ironed the post with all her heart.

Aunt Xue heard that Daiyu had brought twenty servants, and thought that the three of her family only brought a few, so she asked curiously: "But the maid and mother-in-law of the rough envoy also brought?"

Daiyu smiled, "I brought a first-class maid and a second-class maid, a total of four people, and two of them, the nanny, who have been serving by my side since I was a child, and I know my habits and preferences very well, so this time I will simply do it together." And bring it on, and it will save you a lot of time to find a new one, but it will be more troublesome. Besides, the other insignificant little girls and rough envoys will not be brought. I have to trouble Lian's sister-in-law to help send some people over."

Everyone was a little stunned when they heard these words. Based on this calculation, plus the rough envoys in the yard, that little girl would have to be served by 20 people?
Mother Jia sighed: "This is the ostentation that a real daughter of a family should have. It is only normal to serve in an ordinary house, and ten or eight are very normal." There are only one or two kittens around, so it is no big deal Rich?
Jiamu glanced at Sanchun and the people behind Baochai, she shook her head silently, and couldn't help but feel sad for a moment, it's true that one generation is not as good as the next.

At this time, Mrs. Wang, who had been acting like a wooden figure, suddenly opened her mouth and asked Wang Xifeng, "Have you released the monthly money?"

Wang Xifeng replied: "It's just finished."

Mother Jia showed displeasure, and glanced at Mrs. Wang coldly.

Daiyu suddenly smiled, and said to Hongfeng, Lvye and others behind her: "Go outside and ask someone to bring the box in." Then she turned to Jiamu and said, "The old housekeeper at home is in the service of his father. I ordered you to come to the capital to take care of some properties, and today I will drop us two sisters into the mansion, and I should leave in a while, and ask him to come in and say hello to my grandmother?"

Since it is said that he is an "old" butler, there is no need to be too shy.

Jia Mu hurriedly asked someone to invite her.

After a while, the maids came in carrying the boxes, followed by an old man in his fifties who was Uncle Zhong.

Before he could greet him, Jia's mother hurriedly called to stop, and kept asking about Lin Ruhai's body and the situation at home.

Uncle Zhong still saluted in a proper manner, and then answered one by one. At the end, he sighed: "The master is not young now, but there is only such a girl under his knees. It is really sad, but there is no mistress in the family." , no one can raise the girl anymore, so I have to bother you when you are old. The master often said that the old lady is from the Marquis Mansion, and is also a dignified old lady. If the girl can be raised under your knees, he will be at ease. It's gone."

Mother Jia was obviously very satisfied with her son-in-law's trust and flattery, and even said: "You can reassure your son-in-law, I will take care of girl Yu, and everything will be taken care of properly. As long as there is Baoyu, there must be her." One serving is all my heart and soul, and it hurts me the same."

Uncle Zhong smiled, and bowed deeply to Mother Jia: "I'm sorry to bother you, this is 4000 taels of silver, it's what my girl and servants have spent this year, please accept it, old lady."

For an ordinary family of three or four, the chewing expenses for a year are only two, three, and one taels. The 4000 taels are enough for Daiyu to eat delicacies from mountains and seas every day.

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Wang Xifeng couldn't help looking at the small box with burning eyes, and there seemed to be some light in their eyes.

But Jia's mother suddenly lowered her face and said angrily: "Son-in-law is hitting me in the face? My granddaughter is here, and she has to spend money to buy food and drink. What do you call that?"

Daiyu hurriedly persuaded: "Grandmother should accept it. In this way, if granddaughter really wants something, she can say it, right? It's not easy to eat and drink for free and pick and choose. Grandmother just thinks it's pitiful." Have pity on me, so that I can live as I please."

Mother Jia was slightly taken aback, looked at her granddaughter's anxious eyes, then glanced at Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others sitting under her eyes, and sighed in her heart.

Her grandmother is a direct relative, so she will not dislike her granddaughter, but what about these aunts and sisters-in-law?

"If there are [-] or [-] people in our group, if we only visit for three or two days, even three or two months, we don't need to see others like this. As long as we are here for a long time, I have no idea how much expenses we will have for no reason throughout the year. Yes, how can you be ashamed? On the contrary, I feel uncomfortable, why don't we add this expense ourselves, and if we really have something to eat and drink in the future, we can talk about it."

"That's all, girl Feng, just take it." Mother Jia sighed softly, took Daiyu's hand, and seeing Wang Xifeng accepting the box with a happy face, she said, "This money is even worth throwing away every now and then." It is more than enough to sit on a large table, and in the future, your sister must not be neglected, and the cost of food and clothing is comparable to Baoyu's arrangement."
