[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

The lively and pleasant atmosphere was a bit depressed and awkward because of Jia Baoyu's two inappropriate words and deeds. Wang Xifeng, who was always good at making jokes and adjusting the atmosphere, seemed not to feel that the atmosphere in the hall was unusual because of her own ideas, and was not going to stand up for Baoyu To get over this embarrassment, Mother Jia, who was waiting for Wang Xifeng to come forward, had no choice.Maybe it was because she was so busy today that she didn't notice it for a while, but looking at Wang Xifeng's messy temple hair, Mother Jia found an excuse to convince herself.After all, the inner sect of the Rongguo Mansion can do things right now, and it is Feng girl who supports the big family. In addition, Wang Xifeng is always flattering and serving Jiamu, so Jiamu is still unwilling to think of Wang Xifeng in a bad way.

Except for Jia pardoning Jia Zheng, everyone in Jia's mansion should have seen it. Daiyu ordered people to present the gifts prepared in advance, because many things in Yangzhou are different from those in the capital, and they are more delicate and unique, with various designs and colors. Round fans, small and unique sachets with unique scents, fabrics of various colors, exquisitely crafted bracelets...Although they are not precious things, they are especially loved by female relatives. After receiving the gifts, everyone rushes to pass them on. Time resumed the bustling, everyone chattered and laughed, and Yan Yan made a fuss, only Baoyu, who was isolated on the side, was a little unhappy with the well-regulated pens, inks, papers and inkstones. He also liked those things from his daughter's house, and he didn't want such troublesome things at all. Jia Baoyu showed envious eyes, wanting to blend in with his sisters.

Since it was still early for lunch, Mother Jia didn't want Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Zou to wait on her. It was just enough to take Daiyu to see Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's two uncles, so Mrs. Xing took Daiyu's hand and sat together affectionately. Get on the carriage, wander around to see Jia Amnesty where Dafang lives.

Mrs. Xing now has a kind and gentle look, and she never showed the bitter and mean look that she showed from time to time in the past. She held Daiyu's hand and said kindly: "Did you scare you just now?"

Daiyu shook her head lightly, but her eyes still showed a little.Mrs. Xing gently embraced Daiyu's small body, her tone was consoling: "Baoyu has been doted on by the old lady since she was a child, but she has a bit of a naughty temper, and likes to join the girls, so she doesn't pay attention at this age. My aunt doesn't talk too much on weekdays, so you just need to avoid him more in the future. Baoyu, a monkey, if you talk to him more, show him a smiley face, in the future, you will be slobbering and pestering you. Let it go, I don't know whose temperament it is." Mrs. Xing seemed to reveal it casually, and shook her head helplessly.

Daiyu nodded in agreement, Madam Xing really smiled deeper, and continued: "Originally, the old lady was going to move Baoyu out of the green gauze cabinet and put it in the outside room. You live in the green gauze cabinet and stay with me nearby." She's an old man. It's just that your second sister-in-law and I think that Baoyu never knows how to avoid suspicion, so he can rush to the sisters' houses in the early morning. If we arrange the two of you so close, I'm afraid it will cause you a lot of trouble for nothing. When I was wronged, I suggested to pack up an independent courtyard near the old lady, which will not affect your company with the old lady, but also avoid Baoyu's troubles." This is showing merit in front of Daiyu.

Daiyu, who was reminded by Jiang Yingrong, was always tense in her heart. She noticed that Mrs. Xing's words were not as purely for her as they seemed on the surface, but because she couldn't figure it out for a while, she couldn't figure out what it was for.But it's good to be able to separate her from Jia Baoyu, the devil in the world. For this, Daiyu is still grateful for what Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng have done.So there was gratitude on the face, and a little fear, "Thank you aunt and Lian's second sister-in-law for their thoughtfulness and consideration for Yu'er."

Mrs. Xing thought that Daiyu was too young to see the twists and turns, and that everything would be fine after she showed her merits, so she stopped talking. She was also afraid that if she talked too much, she might deliberately smear Jia Baoyu, which would make things worse. not beautiful.Going forward step by step, one sentence today, one sentence tomorrow, can always slowly wear away Baoyu's reputation in front of Daiyu.

This time, Jia amnesty and Jia Zheng both met Daiyu, said a few words, and each gave a meeting gift, which is much better than the attitude of avoiding and indifferent in the original book.It can only be said that this person is a snobbish person, profit is king, he treats it as a treasure if he has value, and discards it if he has no value.

After meeting Jia and pardoning Jia Zheng, all the people in the whole government have met and lived together.Next came the lunch time. On the large mahogany round table that could accommodate more than a dozen people, there were always no less than [-] or [-] kinds of food. It looked dazzling and attractive, and it seemed that they had prepared it with care.The Xing family, Zou family and Wang Xifeng were not seated. One was carrying rice, the other was serving soup, and the other was serving vegetables. Seeing that none of the elders had been seated, Daiyu naturally dared not go directly to the table. Mother Jia said with a smile: "You I'm a guest, just sit down, and later your aunt and Lian's second sister-in-law will have a place to eat." Then she sat down anxiously, this rule made her feel uneasy as a junior, but Yingchun and Tanchun's expressions were as usual , seemed to be used to it, so she laughed secretly at herself for making a fuss, maybe this is the rule of Rongguo Mansion, she should eat in peace.

It's just that after Daiyu sat down, she picked up her chopsticks and looked around. There was not a single dish on the table that she could eat by herself. Not to mention all the big fish and meat, they looked greasy, and they felt heavy before eating. Salt, the cuisine in Beijing is really different from that in Yangzhou.But in other people's homes, even if Daiyu felt that such dishes were used, her weak stomach would not be easy to digest, so she still had to bite the bullet and use them.

In particular, the girl who helped prepare the dishes followed Jiamu's instructions and introduction, and picked up chopsticks for Daiyu one by one of Jiamu's favorite dishes. Use whatever you have.Once the food is in the mouth, it can't be said that it is not good, it is definitely not delicious, especially in order to cater to the taste of Jia Mu, an elderly old lord, the food is soft and sweet, not to mention the taste .

If it weren't for the contrast that Jiang Yingrong directly invited a Yangzhou chef to cook a large table of hometown dishes yesterday, Daiyu's heart gap today would not be so great.It can't be said that my grandmother doesn't love me, but I always feel that there is something missing in this love.Especially when comparing her grandmother's attitude towards Baoyu, Daiyu once again realized the difference.

Combined with the impression of the servants in the mansion as soon as you enter the door.Especially when he got off the carriage just now, he found that the first uncle's family did not live in the main house, but lived in the back garden, and the second uncle's family lived in the spacious Rongxi hall instead.If the rules are really strict, the distinction between the sons and daughters and the rules of servants in the house should not be paid more attention to. On the contrary, the rules for the daughter-in-law are particularly strict, and there is a sense of putting the cart before the horse.These thoughts ran through Daiyu's head while eating, and according to what she saw, heard, and heard, what Master said yesterday was an understatement.

Daiyu finished her meal with her thoughts on her mind. Others thought she was shy when she first came here, so she was too embarrassed to talk too much. They never expected that in just half a day, Daiyu could already see many things wrong with Rongguo Mansion. What Jia Min said to her in the past They all faded away one by one, leaving only what is really seen and heard before the eyes.

At the end of the meal, everyone had tea, and before they had chatted for a while, Jia Baoyu, who had been living in peace for a while, couldn't help but join in the conversation, and asked without thinking: "Did my sister ever have jade?" What Jia Baoyu thought was Everyone in the mansion said that the piece of jade on his neck was a precious thing, not everyone had it, the younger sisters in the mansion didn’t have it, and the friends he made outside didn’t have it, and now there must be a sister who looks like a fairy. Yes, this just happens to be my company, lest I am the only one in this world with such a fool, how lonely and cold!Of course, Jia Baoyu, who is an ancient man, couldn't say the last sentence, but it also accurately revealed his inner voice.

Jade?Why are you bringing this up?Oh, by the way, Master said yesterday that Baoyu was born with jade in his mouth, and that's where the name came from.It's just that jade and other things are available to wealthy families, but the quality is good or bad.Why did you bring it up specifically?Daiyu turned her little head, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, she suddenly realized that she was here to show off the good things, and it is really rare in this world that there is a second person who is born with jade, it's just such a blatant show off.Speaking of jade, although her family is not as grand as the Rongguo Mansion and has many servants, she has never been short of anything. There are also many jade bracelets, jade plaques, and jade pendants in the jewelry box, such as sapphire, white jade, suet, etc. Jade, black jade, topaz, and chicken blood jade, although they are not the best, they are not bad, but they are not as good as the one brought in the womb.By the way, the senior brother gave her a piece of warm jade yesterday, which was already hanging around her waist, and she really didn't feel the cold spring breeze when she went out today, and her body was cold.

Daiyu, who has been successfully led astray, is now Jia Baoyu who can make up a dozen sentences in Daiyu's brain. That thinking is like a galloping wild horse, gone forever. If Jia Baoyu knows, he will definitely cry like a fool .

Daiyu, who consciously knows the key points, on the one hand, does not want people to underestimate the Lin family. The Lin family does not even have a piece of jade. He replied: "Of course there are jades, but they are not as valuable as my cousin's." I didn't bother to call Baoyu according to Daliu. My cousin seemed to respect but was actually keeping a distance.

"Really? Sister, let me have a look." Finally hearing that someone had the same jade as herself, Baoyu rushed to Daiyu excitedly, wanting to have a glimpse.

This action really startled Daiyu, and the two nuns who followed at the side finally couldn't bear it any longer, a fatter one stepped forward with her face in her face to stop Baoyu from bullying her, her tone was a bit harsh "Second Master Bao, my girl has just caught a cold and is not feeling well, please don't let me get sick." Ever since they entered the mansion, the two nuns have watched Jia Baoyu repeat this again and again. To provoke his own girl, Lin Ruhai privately told the two of them before they left that they must take good care of the girl and don't worry about their relatives if they don't have good eyesight.If it weren't for the girl's first visit, and it's not easy for them to come forward directly, otherwise they couldn't bear it long ago.

It turned out to be a good thing, this second master Bao is really a master, his skin is thicker than the city wall, how can you, a foreigner, see the things of the girl's house, or in front of so many people, you are simply trampling your girl's reputation on the ground , It is simply what can be tolerated and what cannot be tolerated.At the moment, he didn't care about making Jia Mu and others look bad, so they stepped forward to block Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu saw a stocky old woman standing in front of him, so he took a step back in fright, and almost staggered and fell to the ground, so startled that Jia's mother got up from her seat quickly: "Baoyu, be careful, you are not hurrying!" Hold on." Fortunately, Baoyu stood on her own, and Jiamu was relieved, but because Baoyu almost fell, Jiamu's face was a little bad, and she completely forgot that it was your good grandson who offended your grandson first.

Daiyu stood up and bowed to Jia Mu: "I have disturbed my grandmother for a long time today, Yu'er should go back, the master is still waiting for Yu'er to go back to prepare for the apprenticeship." After speaking, she was ready to leave with her servants.

"Yu'er, everything in the house has been tidied up, waiting for you to stay here." Finally, Mother Jia was in a hurry. She had been busy with meeting for most of the day and didn't have time to discuss serious matters. How could she allow someone to leave like this.

"Grandmother's kindness should not be resigned, but this time I came to Beijing to practice. Before leaving, my parents warned Yu'er that although Qingxiu is hard, she must not be greedy for peace and happiness, and let Yu'er wholeheartedly follow Master to practice Taoism." It is a sincere color.

Where Jia's mother was willing to comply, and with Mrs. Xing and others kindly persuading her, Daiyu reluctantly agreed to live in the mansion for a day or two, and she must go back to the Supreme Palace the day before her apprenticeship, so she calmed down.Of course, Daiyu didn't really want to leave by doing this, she just wanted to find an excuse to let the farce stop, and by the way, express her attitude that she won't live for a long time.Mother Jia managed to keep him here, so she dared to ask for more, for fear of scaring them away, it would be nice if she could stay for a day or two, take your time, don't worry.
