Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 6

Daiyu thought for a while, and told Nanny Lin, "Let's go in our own carriage."

Wang Momo stood behind Daiyu and said with a smile: "Young lady is very true." Now they are not living under the eaves of Jia's house, even if the master and wife are gone, the two young masters must not be wronged.Otherwise, they would have no face to go underground to meet Mrs. Madam in the future.Nanny Lin also happily went to order the car to be prepared, and she must not lose face to the Lin family.

After eating and tidying up, Daiyu took Xueyan, Wang Momo, and four maids named Honglian, Bihen, Lanling, and Ziwan, and Moyu took Qingze and went out.The two women sent by the Jia family were sitting in the lobby drinking tea with Zijuan. When Zijuan saw Daiyu coming out, she immediately greeted her with tears in her eyes. Yu Qianqian smiled, "I'm fine, how is the old ancestor?" Zijuan wiped her tears and said, "The old ancestor is fine, but I just heard that Mrs. Lin passed away, was sad and sick for a few days, and every day I was talking about the girl coming back. What about?" Daiyu smiled faintly, did not reply, but said: "Let's go."

When they arrived at the gate of the Lin residence, the Lin family arranged a four-horse horse-carved red sandalwood carriage, which was simple and elegant in appearance but exuded the dignified and dignified air of red sandalwood.The faces of the two women suddenly turned ugly.Hong Lian and the others grew up in the old house of the Lin family. Although they have never served the master, they should learn a lot.How could the grandeur of the county prince's mansion be comparable to that of a duke's mansion? How could he take these two wives with bad faces seriously?He directly helped Daiyu and Moyu into the car, and helped Wang Momo up, leaving only Xueyan to serve Daiyu, Lin Qingze and Honglian to drive, and the other three laughed and pulled Zijuan up to Jia's house carriage.A group of people went to Rongguo Mansion.

Mo Yu's influence on Rongguo Mansion was not very good because of what Jia Lian heard at the Lin family in peacetime.So when he got out of the car, he pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak.Looking at the closed gate of the Rongguo Mansion, the angry little face is really cute.He grew up in Lin's family, although he was not pampered and spoiled, but Lin Ruhai took him out to visit relatives and friends, who would dare to let him in through the side door?The person who came out to greet Mrs. Wang was Mrs. Wang's accompanying room. Her husband was in charge of Ningguo Mansion, known as Zhou Rui's family. "The eldest girl is back. The old lady and the wife and the girls are all missed. We are all waiting."

Standing in front of the carriage, Daiyu looked down at Moyu and said softly, "We are just here to say hello to the old lady and to show our filial piety. If Mo'er doesn't like it, we just don't come here."

Mo Yu pouted and said: "Sister, it's decided. Mo'er doesn't like to go through the side door of someone's house." Dai Yu nodded, and led Mo Yu in. Behind her, a nun, seven maids, and a guard followed in a file , but it is not the same as Daiyu's appearance in the mansion before.

In Jia Mu's room, someone called out: "The eldest girl is here, Brother Mo is here."

While everyone was talking, when they looked up, they saw a girl pulling up the curtain, and Daiyu walked in with a seven or eight-year-old child who was carved in pink and jade.Both are dressed in plain clothes, Daiyu is dressed in white with light yellow floral lace, Moyu is dressed in black brocade with silver lace, with a light yellow warm jade hanging around his waist, although he is young, he is very elegant.

"Yu'er pays respects to grandma."

"Mo'er pays respects to grandma."

Mo Yu followed his elder sister to greet Jia Mu respectfully, and Jia Mu couldn't help liking him very much when he saw that he was so young. They all sat down beside Jia Mu.Mother Jia looked at Daiyu and then at Moyu, and said distressedly: "Poor child, you are not in good health, but now you have lost a lot of weight. Do you still have the habit of living in the capital?" Moyu nodded She turned her head and said, "Thank you for your grandmother's concern. Mo'er lives with her sister, it's fine."

Daiyu also ordered people to distribute some small gifts brought back from Yangzhou to Sanchun, Baochai and others.Baochai looked at Moyu with a smile and said, "Sister Lin's brother is really handsome, and he has an extraordinary bearing at a young age." Daiyu liked her younger brother more than her own when others praised her. She smiled lightly and didn't answer.Mother Jia laughed and said, "That's natural. Girl Bao doesn't know that Mrs. Lin was also the most handsome and elegant son in the capital. This Yu'er and Min'er are also seven or eight times alike. Brother Mo is naturally very good. Mrs. Wang has always felt that her precious jade is not as hard to find as it is in the sky. Naturally, she doesn't like others to praise Moyu, but she just keeps silent. Mrs. Xing is polite to Daiyu and her brother.

Mother Jia looked at Daiyu with pity and said, "It's very difficult for you to take Brother Mo with you as a child. It's better to live with your grandmother's house to take care of you. If there is any mistake between you two outside, Grandmother is ashamed to see your parents." Daiyu comforted Jiamu and said softly, "Forgive me, my ancestors. If Daiyu is alone, it's fine to stay at her grandmother's knees. But Mo'er is I am the son of the Lin family. In the future, the Lin family's family will be supported by his father's legacy. Although he is close to his grandfather's family, he is not our Lin family. How can Yu'er make Mo'er live with relatives at a young age? At home. Although the Lin family has no elders, they still have two houses and a few loyal servants, who will definitely protect Mo'er from growing up."

Mother Jia looked at Daiyu in amazement. If it had been half a year ago, Daiyu would never have said such a thing.A trip back to Yangzhou has changed so much.Jia's mother thought for a second, Lin Ruhai must have taught her these words because Daiyu was still young.But she also knew Daiyu's temperament, and it was extremely difficult to change what she said, so she smiled at Moyu and said, "Mo'er, would you like to come to Jia's house to live with your grandmother? There are more brothers and sisters here, and your cousin Baoyu can also accompany her." You play, Yu'er also has other sisters to accompany her so she won't be lonely."

Mo Yu looked at Jia Mu with big bright eyes, and then at her sister, seeming to be very conflicted.After a while, he shook his head.

"Why is this?"

Mo Yu bit her lip aggrievedly, "The Jia family's rules are really strange. Daddy said that although the Lin family is not a family of royal relatives and dignitaries, it is also a well-known and scholarly family for generations. If you can't afford it, you don't have to go forward. The Lin family It's degrading for a man to go in and out of the side door." He has a cute appearance of crystal buns, but his words are indeed polite, and he looks like an old pedant.Obviously learned from what others said.After saying this, the faces of many people in the flower hall became very strange.Jiamu's expression changed and she was about to speak when she heard Baoyu's voice from afar, "Is Sister Lin coming? Sister Lin..."

Baoyu made a big fuss yesterday when he learned that Daiyu refused to live in Jia's house when he came back, and was finally persuaded by everyone.Before I read a few pages of the book this morning, I heard that Daiyu brought Moyu. He quickly dropped the scroll in his hand and ran over. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Daiyu sitting next to Jia Mu, and immediately rushed away excitedly. Come over, "Sister Lin, you are finally back!"

Before he could get close to Daiyu, Moyu jumped off the couch with a bang and stood in front of Daiyu.Waiting for Baoyu with crystal black eyes, he said angrily, "Who are you? You are so rude to my sister!" Baoyu was stunned by such a righteous reprimand from a little doll. The long pink carved jade is very cute but not angry, just whispered: "I am Baoyu, why am I being rude to sister Lin?" Moyu looked at him, and said with an old-fashioned look: "There is an old saying : Men and women have different seats at seven years old, you are so old, and you are not blood relatives, and you want to sit with my sister as soon as you come, isn't this the behavior of Deng Tuzi?"

Baoyu was speechless, he had been with his daughters since he was a child, everyone in Jia's family was obedient to him, who would dare to accuse him so openly?But at this time, Baoyu himself would find it very boring to talk about the theory that men are like mud and daughters are like pearls to a little doll like Moyu.I had to say in a nasty voice: "Aren't we always so close to our sisters at home?" In fact, Baoyu always wanted to be close to Daiyu but didn't dare to be too close. There is always a faint uniqueness, which makes people dare not be profane.This time it was because Dai Yunan had been back for a long time, and now that she finally came back, Baoyu was so excited that she forgot her sense of proportion.

Mo Yu didn't want to be considerate of him, but just snorted softly and said: "Anyway, you are not allowed to get close to my sister, or I will ask Qing Ze to beat you!"

Daiyu pulled Moyu over, patted his little hand and raised her head to Mother Jia, saying, "Old Ancestor, Mo'er is still young, so you're rude." But she didn't mean to ask Moyu to apologize to Baoyu.Originally, Mo'er was right, besides, it was clear in Daiyu's heart that Mo Yu and Baoyu were close and who was close.Now that her parents are gone, Daiyu would never want her only younger brother to be wronged in front of others.

Jia's mother smiled and said: "Yu'er is offended when she says this. How can brothers and sisters get along with each other? Besides, it's Baoyu's fault. It's because our family has spoiled him." In fact, Jia Mother also felt a little uncomfortable, she had been planning to promise Daiyu to Baoyu, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with Baoyu's behavior, but she was happy that Baoyu liked Daiyu too.Now that Mo Yu raised it in such a righteous way, it seems that the members of the Jia family don't know the rules.Just thinking about the age of Daiyu and Moyu, I didn't think about it for a long time, and I felt displeased for a while and then threw it away.

Mrs. Wang sat on one side, with her head down, twisting the beads in her hand.But the eyes are already full of anger. Baoyu has raised her like a phoenix egg since she was a child, but now she is reprimanded by a child like this. The old lady also said that Baoyu was wrong. resentment?Originally, Daiyu didn't like it, but now she is even more disgusted.
