Let's say that Daiyu abandoned the boat and landed on the shore that day, and she had already waited for a long time in the sedan chair of her maternal grandfather Rongguo's mansion, and took her into the mansion to see her grandmother Shi Taijun and a group of female dependents, and went to meet her uncle with Jia Yu's wife Xing.

After getting out of the car for a while, Mrs. Xing took Daiyu's hand and entered the main room, only to see a three- or four-year-old child crooked on the chair bored, seeing them enter the door, she immediately jumped down, jumped forward in three or two steps and said crisply: "Madam, is this the legendary Sister Lin?" ”

Mrs. Xing smiled: "You little leather monkey, you can be gentle, don't scare others." ”

The boy laughed and said, "Sven knows me, but I don't even recognize him!" Because he made a serious gesture to Lin Daiyu, he said, "The younger brother Jia Cong, is the son of Jia Yu, the hereditary first-class general of the dynasty, who is three years old this year, smart, well-behaved and obedient, loved by everyone, and seen Sister Lin." He said on the wall, and many of the concubines and maids in the room who were dressed in makeup and beautiful clothes were smiling. Daiyu wondered in her heart, since she entered the house, everything she saw was solemn, and she looked at this cousin's temperament was very lively, but she had never heard her father mention it at home, and she thought it was because she was young. But his face was not revealed, and he hurriedly returned him with a blessing.

Mrs. Xing pointed at him and said, "This is our master's youngest son, but his poor aunt has gone, and the master loves him very much." He led Daiyu to sit on the chair with his hand. Dai Yufang knew that this child was originally the concubine of the eldest uncle.

Jia Cong stared at her with a pair of dark eyes and looked her up and down for a long time, although it was rude, he was young, and Daiyu was not surprised. After looking at it for a while, he clapped his hands and smiled: "Our master has been waiting for my sister for a long time, so I will go to the study outside to invite him." ”

An old lady at the back said: "It doesn't matter which girl you call, what are you doing these errands for a gentleman." ”

Jia Cong pouted and said, "Can't I move my muscles and bones if I want to?" Nai waved his hand to Lin Daiyu and ran out with a smoke.

Mrs. Xing waved her hand and said, "That's it, he won't jump up and down one day." Then he called out to the man who was down, and hurried to follow. The old lady whispered a few words.

After a while, I heard someone say, "The master is here." ”

Daiyu hurriedly stood up and looked fixedly, and a middle-aged man wearing rosewood arrow sleeves came in outside, with three locks of beard, although his expression was very solemn, his face was a little vain. Needless to say, this is the eldest lord of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yu.

Mrs. Xing took Daiyu's hand with a smile on her face and said, "Master, this is the nephew and daughter of the Lin family." ”

Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Jia Yu nodded and said, "It was actually drawn by a manuscript when she was as old as Min'er." As he spoke, he took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes. I never thought that tears were rolling down immediately, and the more I wiped it, the more I couldn't stop it.

Daiyu saw her uncle crying, how could she hold back thinking of her deceased mother? also hid his face and wept and couldn't stop crying.

Their uncle and nephew wept for a while, and Mrs. Xing persuaded on the side: "I have been crying at the old lady's place for a while, so don't make your nephew and daughter sad again, beware of crying." ”

Jia Congyuan also shed tears on the side, and after hearing Mrs. Xing's words, he quickly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Jia Yu. Jia Yu casually handed over the handkerchief that had been wet with a lot of tears to his son, and he took him to wipe his tears, and stopped after a while.

As soon as everyone sat down, an old lady quietly sent a group of people out, and there were only four people left in the house: Jia Yu, Mrs. Xing, Daiyu and Jia Cong. Jia Yu sighed to Daiyu: "Min'er was originally the youngest of my four younger sisters, and your father has been an official in the south for so many years, but he has never seen him again. In the days she went, every time she thought about it, she was really sad. Luckily, you're here. Good boy, there must be many differences between this house and your family, you just follow your daily life, and some small rules do not have to be rigid. Daiyu hurriedly said she didn't dare. Jia Yu said again, "If you have anything to eat or play, just send someone to tell your second sister-in-law, I have already sent someone to tell her that she will take care of you." Daiyu thanked again.

Jia Cong coughed a few times on the side and filled himself with tea.

Jia Yu looked at him and said, "I just got caught a cold a few days ago, so I got better, and I forgot to wear a coat, didn't I?" ”

Jia Cong hurriedly threw away the teacup and said, "No, I'm wearing it warm." I wrote a lot of words this morning. As he spoke, he straightened his chest and gestured twice to write.

Jia Yu opened his eyebrows and smiled: "I don't expect you to come back one day like Uncle Lin in the Tanhualang, but only take the Jinshi exam, and I can laugh out loud in my dreams." He didn't wait for Jia Cong to answer, he looked back at Daiyu and said, "As soon as he mentions writing, I think of something to tell you." I naturally know that Gusu in the capital is thousands of miles away, and it is a lie to let you not feel homesick. It's just that your father is over half a hundred years old, and only you, a child, who is young and young, must miss you. There is no one next to your uncle, but there is no shortage of messengers to and from the south. Your niece and daughter can write more letters to your brother-in-law, one to relieve your father, and the other to comfort him to miss his daughter. After all, it is also filial piety. After finishing speaking, he glanced at Jia Cong, Jia Cong grinned a big smile, very cute.

When Daiyu heard her uncle say that she should write more letters to her father, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and she didn't pay attention to the side at all, so she hurriedly stood up and saluted Jia Yu and thanked her: "Thank you, uncle, it's too tiring." ”

Jia Yu waved his hand and said: "It's just a few errand runners, what's the trouble, it's just right for my nephew and daughter to live comfortably in this mansion." With a long sigh, he looked at the beams on the roof and said slowly, "The only thing I can do for Min'er is so little." "There seemed to be tears on his face.

The circles under Daiyu's eyes turned red again, and Jia Cong hurriedly interjected: "Master, don't ask Sister Lin to cry again, don't forget if your son asked you." ”

Jia Yu glared at him: "It's just that you have a lot of business." Because he pointed at him and smiled at Daiyu, he said, "My nephew and daughter have just arrived, and I am tired of traveling, so I am not in a hurry to say some things." This kid is very anxious. Nai said with a slug face, "Although it is such a big idea, your cousin has a bit of ambition." He has not yet been educated, but he sneaked into my study and touched a post to paint cats and tigers, although it is not the same, it is rare that he has a self-motivated heart. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look at Jia Cong happily for a while, remembering the long face in front of the Feng family's father and son that day, and even the corners of his eyes smiled. He also said, "Brother-in-law Lin is a leader in Confucianism, and he wants to come to his niece and daughter to get his family heirloom. He looked at Jia Cong again and said, "I now posted an old face and begged your sister, if you don't study hard, I won't break your legs." ”

Jia Cong was clever, this time he had already slipped to Daiyu, and he slammed to the ground in a proper manner: "Annoying my sister with a little advice, my little brother will study hard every day, and he will never fall into his sister's reputation." ”

Daiyu hurriedly said that she didn't dare to say anything, stood up again and returned the salute, and said: "I'm only a few years older than you, I just read the "Four Books", where can I be worthy of a teacher." ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "The eagle flies higher than the house sparrow, and it is stronger than me." ”

Daiyu is a man who is not inferior in heart, and when he compares himself to an eagle, he is vaguely ironed in his heart. And she saw that this uncle was not a rough man, as her father had said in those days. Although the words are not elegant, they are also a little gentle. Seeing that he was thinking about his deceased mother, he felt more and more amiable. He was originally his own maternal uncle, and he was the head of the Rongguo Mansion, and this cousin was young, so he only trusted himself when he met for the first time, but it was inconvenient for him to lose face. So he humbled himself a few words, but he never really rejected the two of them.

A few people talked for a while, and Mrs. Xing saw that Jia Yu was happy, so she opened her mouth to leave Daiyu for dinner.

I knew that Daiyu would not be able to see Jia Zheng today, would Jia Cong say it? Then he smiled and said: "Sister Lin and the second master are going to see it, but don't let the second uncle be jealous and say that we occupy Sister Lin, will it be a long time in the future." ”

When Mrs. Xing heard this, she said, "That's right." So he ordered two or three grandmothers to send the girl over in a good car, and personally sent her to the Yimen.

Suddenly, someone shouted "Sister Lin" behind him, and it turned out to be Jia Cong who ran out on his feet, smiled and handed Daiyu a small grasshopper made of straw, and said, "This is red. Sleeve knitting, play with my sister—" he whispered, "Ah, be careful not to let the second lady see it." ”

Daiyu is just a child, seeing that the green grass grasshopper is only half the size of a palm, delicate and small, vivid, very interesting, I can't help but reach out and take it: "What a delicate gadget." ”

Jia Cong clapped his hands: "I know my sister will like it, my sister is from the south, and people in the south like green." ”

Mrs. Xing said on the side: "The south and the north are compatible with what color they like, and the children are guessing." ”

Jia Cong grimaced.

A mother-in-law stuck her head out from the side and asked, "This red. The younger brother of the sleeve is the kid that Lian's second grandmother gave you last month, and he was originally called Xing'er? ”

Jia Cong said: "Exactly, he was originally the second brother's person, and when I saw him playing with grasshoppers that day, I asked him where he bought it, and he said that his sister made it up." But it happened that a few days later, the master asked the second sister-in-law to add someone to me, I thought that the grasshopper was so naughty, so I said that I wanted him, and in the future, his sister could make up fun things and give me two filial piety. The crowd laughed again. The main stage of the little maid in the original book is in the second room, and there are very few characters on the big house, except for Ping'er, who can't make up his mind, the only one who is brilliant is this little guy Xing'er, Jia Cong naturally wants to find a way to dig it up. But Qiao Xing'er was just sent to Jia Lian's side at the beginning of the year, but he was just an ordinary little girl, and he had never been Jia Lian's confidant.

"The second sister-in-law gave it to me immediately, just saying that the second brother came back and said it. Now I have changed his name to Lan Xiang. The second sister-in-law also gave me his sister! Honest and generous. "Wang Xifeng is now in power, and it is not as effective as saying good things behind her back, and the most important thing for the second grandmother is her ears and eyes.

Hearing him praise Wang Xifeng's generosity, the old lady sneered. Daiyu was secretly surprised in her heart, there was such a rude master talking to a slave?

Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Cong's kind eyebrows and kind eyes: "I'm still a child, I only know how to play." ”

Jia Cong shook his head, and then said, "The second brother is back today, and I have already gone to thank you in person while I took advantage of the effort to ask for peace." The second brother said that a little child is nothing. Besides, the second sister-in-law has already given it to me, and he is embarrassed to go back. His eyebrows fluttered, and suddenly he saw Lin Daiyu also listening, and hurriedly said, "Sister Lin, red. The sleeves are really good at making gadgets, otherwise, Cong'er rarely looks for people to ask for things~~" Everyone laughed.

Mrs. Xing raised her eyes and saw that it was not early, so she urged Daiyu to get into the car, and stood at the gate of the instrument and looked at the car and walked away. Jia Cong also accompanied him for a while, secretly tired and panicked. Selling cuteness is really a difficult job, and at his psychological age, no matter how much he paints green paint, he can't do it.

Lin Daiyu went to the second room, and naturally met her coldly. Jia Zheng has never seen anyone, he just chose to fast today; Mrs. Wang also talked sour for a long time - it was completely different from Fang Cai in the big house. Daiyu was originally a thoughtful person, and when she came to her grandfather's house, she didn't dare to say a word or take one more step. At this time, he pinched the grasshopper in his sleeve, and all kinds of flavors welled up in his heart, and he missed Gusu very much, and immediately wanted to write a letter to his father. It's just the first time I saw it, and I didn't dare to ask my uncle when it was appropriate to send the letter, so I was secretly anxious.

At the other end, Jia Cong returned to the house with his front feet, Jia Yuben was sitting and drinking tea, and when he heard his son come in, he looked up at him and smiled: "How is the master singing this play?" ”

Jia Cong quickly ran a few steps to him, raised his little face, raised his arms, raised two thumbs up, and said crisply: "Master, high, really high!" ”
