Early the next morning, everyone was blue-eyed, and after breakfast, Zijuan hurriedly took out embroidery bandages and needles and threads, and asked Yan Niang for embroidery work. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info who knows that this pondering will go down into obsession, day by day gradually only sit next to the embroidery frame to dismantle and dismantle the embroidery, even when eating, also subconsciously hold the chopsticks to compare, provoke everyone to call her "embroidery".

On this day, it was time to go outside the city to pay respects, Lin Daiyu took the two girls Snow Goose and Qing'er, and left Zijuan and Yanniang, who were obsessed with embroidery, to take care of the house. Aunt Ye took a girl named Qiushuang and Daiyu in two carriages and brought fresh fruit offerings out of the city. When they arrived outside the city, they first met with the long house, as well as Lin He in the third room, Lin Yuan in the fifth room and others, and went to worship Lin Ruhai together.

The wind in the suburbs was cold and damp, and the dark clouds were low, like a rain and snow brewing. In the barren grass layer, a piece of new soil and tombstones are particularly conspicuous. Daiyu looked at the two tombstones side by side in front of the raised mound, and her heart was devastated, and she couldn't help but cry again.

Behind Daiyu, Aunt Ye, Snow Goose, and all the people from Yangzhou couldn't help crying, and the people from the Lin family in Suzhou also accompanied them with their sleeves to wipe the corners of their eyes, but a few of them were really sad, and no one knew who was making a scene.

After the worship was over, the crowd prepared to leave. Qiushuang helped Aunt Ye to the carriage, and Lin Daiyu couldn't help but turn back again and again with the support of the snow geese, crying several times and choking.

The chariots and horses were wheeling around, leaving behind the sacrificial wine and desolation.

It was almost noon, and everyone gathered at the Zhuangzi outside the city. Lin Jiang, the head of the Lin family in Suzhou, Zhang Luo gave out a few tables of wine and food, and all the people with heads and faces in the clan were invited to the table. The male guests are outside, and the female guests are in the inner room.

Lin Daiyu got out of the carriage earlier and borrowed their daughter's room to rest for a while. Lin Jiang has two daughters, both of whom are born in pink carving, one is twelve years old and the other is ten years old, and they happen to be the same age as Daiyu. In addition, there is also a sister-in-law, a concubine. Lin Daiyu was talking to Lin Jiang's two daughters, and a young daughter-in-law dressed solemnly outside, that is, Lin Jiang's daughter-in-law, came to invite them to the table.

Daiyu followed her out of the house and came to the inner room where the female dependents were sitting, and was arranged in the middle of a table of elders, but Lin Jiang's daughters sat with the girls of the same age in the clan. Even Aunt Ye was separated from Daiyu and arranged at the table where the concubine was sitting. Daiyu was isolated, and she had to raise her vigilance and half-blessed, "grandma", "aunt", and "aunt" greeted each other one by one, and talked to the people at the table before sitting down awkwardly.

Obviously, it was carefully arranged, and this was a malicious Hongmen banquet.

At this time, she tried to recall whether there had been such a scene in her previous life, but after thinking about it for a long time, she did not have any impression. It turned out that Jia Lian had done it all before, and only on the day of the burial did Daiyu show her face, and she was urged to leave without saying a few words, so she naturally had never experienced such a scene. Even when Jia Min died, Lin Ruhai was in the way, Daiyu only lived in her own house, and she went out under the protection of Lin Ruhai, only today, it was all up to her.

For a while, the dishes were ready, but the oldest old lady in the banquet was silent. This old lady is Lin Jiang's mother, known as Mrs. Zhu, she doesn't speak, and she doesn't let the girl pick up vegetables for her, who dares to move the chopsticks. Daiyu knew that this was embarrassing for herself, as the youngest person in the banquet, she had to go and serve the old lady to the big rules.

The snow goose was behind Daiyu, her face flushed with anger. Even if it is the grandmother and grandmother of the in-laws, they have not come up with big rules to let their granddaughters serve the dishes, let alone the same clan.

She followed behind Daiyu, holding a tea tray and holding a cup of tea, Daiyu took it with both hands, and Mrs. Zhu took a sip of tea and rinsed her mouth with her hand, and Daiyu had to take the gargle held by another girl. The whole house only heard the mouthwash of this old lady Zhu, and even the tables next to him were atmospheric and didn't dare to make a sound.

Aunt Ye saw this scene, her face turned red, and she was about to get up and go over, but she was pulled and pressed to the seat by the people around her. The person on the left whispered in her ear: "If you go over, people will let people pluck your little master, sit quietly, and watch the changes." Aunt Ye calmed down and recognized that it was Lin He's concubine who grabbed her, so she nodded to her gratefully, and then looked at Daiyu worriedly.

Although she has never served food, Daiyu has been under the fence for so many years, and she has also learned to observe words and feelings. Seeing that Mrs. Zhu's chin was raised, pointing to a plate of fried dried bamboo shoots with fresh mushrooms, Lin Daiyu stretched out her chopsticks, and then saw that her eyes were falling there, so she grabbed a pair of chopsticks and put them in Mrs. Zhu's bowl.

Mrs. Zhu was no longer embarrassed by Daiyu, picked up a piece of fresh mushrooms with chopsticks and ate it, and said, "Go back and sit." Daiyu blessed and returned to her seat.

Mrs. Zhu said, "Let's eat!" "The rest of the food service work was taken over by the maids. The people at Daiyu's table began to move their chopsticks, and the elderly people at the next table also said, "Old sister, let's start here." ”

Mrs. Zhu replied coldly, "Let's start", and then just lowered her head and ate the dishes that the girl had sandwiched. Lin Daiyu's bowl was also full of all kinds of dishes from aunts and aunts at this time, and she couldn't be rude in front of everyone, so Daiyu had to thank her with a smile and start eating. Fortunately, those who came over with vegetables were clean chopsticks that they hadn't used yet.

After eating for a while, everyone turned around and went to the main hall of the inner courtyard to drink tea and talk. The old lady Zhu had already left the table first, and went back to rest with the girl, as if she came out just to let Daiyu serve the food. These aunts and aunts dragged Daiyu in the main hall, and Aunt Ye was also dragged to the ear room next to her to drink tea, and Daiyu was only taken care of by a snow goose. But those elders sent their girls out, and Daiyu had to let Snow Goose go out to find other girls to eat and play. Fortunately, Lin He and Lin Yuan's inner relatives, Daiyu called the third aunt and the fifth aunt are all there. The two of them sat beside Daiyu with their arms, and the other people who did not have the official position of their husbands had to carefully accompany them to make fun, and they didn't dare to come up with any moths, which made these two people unhappy.

After a kind word, it's the point.

Lin Jiang's daughter-in-law had already asked Daiyu's third and fifth aunts to come out to speak, but who knew that they had only talked to Daiyu alone once, so they vaguely pushed back. This time, she asked the two to speak again, but received no clear answer. In desperation, Lin Jiang's daughter-in-law had no choice but to find a second-room daughter-in-law who was doing business to make peace. The topic is not for anything else, but to inherit a person to Lin Ruhai's name, inherit the incense, and inherit the family property by the way.

The second daughter-in-law's family is a merchant, and her appearance is also cool and spicy, similar to Wang Xifeng's temperament.
