The next afternoon, Lu Jing took Daiyu to Rongguo Mansion, and reassured Daiyu all the way that there was no need to worry, the old lady would be fine.

After entering Ningrong Street, Lu Jing deliberately glanced at the two stone lions at the gate of Ningguo Mansion, the only place in Ningfu that is still clean in legend, the last time he came to Ningrong Street, he was still a concubine on the night of his relatives, he was just to take Daiyu back, and he didn't pay attention to it, and now it seems that the two stone lions are a little mottled.

When he arrived at the stone lion at the gate of Rongfu, he saw several sedan horses parked on both sides, and there were more than a dozen people in gorgeous clothes sitting in front of the door, so he asked Lu Zheng to go and hand over the post.

Not long after, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng opened the door with more than a dozen servants and maids to greet them.

Daiyu saw that the Rong Mansion opened the door, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, if the Jia family let her husband enter through the side door, she would definitely let her husband leave, and she would not come to the Jia family again in the future.

Lu Jing noticed the change in Daiyu's expression, smiled at her, and signaled her to rest assured, the first time her husband and wife came to visit, it was impossible for Jiafu to do something too out of the ordinary, otherwise it would not only be herself who would be humiliated, but also Daiyu.

As long as the Jia family still recognizes Daiyu as a relative, they will inevitably open the middle door to greet them and receive them as a distinguished guest.

If Daiyu brings her uncle to visit her for the first time after marriage, she is not respected, and the meaning of the Jia family is obvious, saying that Daiyu is not valued here, and the Jia family does not need to do some face-saving work of loving the house and Wu, so Daiyu not only has no face in her mother's house, but also has no face in her mother-in-law's house, and there is no need for this relative to leave.

After Lu Jing and Daiyu entered the Rong Mansion, Wang Xifeng took Daiyu to Jia's mother, and Lu Jing followed Jia Lian to meet Jia Yu.

Along the way, Jia Lian was extremely enthusiastic about Lu Jing, and after greeting him, he smiled and said: "Huai Jin came just in time, now my uncle is also in the house, Huai Jin can just meet you, and my uncle has always admired you before." ”

"Lord Wang is also here, when will you arrive?" Lu Jing pretended to be surprised on his face, but he had expected this in his heart, yesterday Mrs. Wang sent someone to send a letter, and he guessed that Wang Ziteng would arrive today.

Jia Lian said with some smugness on his face: "It's been about an hour, and I also heard that the old lady is in poor health, so I came to visit the old lady." ”

Lu Jing smiled and asked about the old lady's illness and physical condition.

Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly covered up: "Yesterday, I invited the imperial doctor to come over, saying that I caught a cold by accident, and I don't need to take medicine, as long as I eat a little lighter and dress warmer." ”

Lu Jing nodded, and did not debunk his words, after Mrs. Wang sent the letter yesterday, he learned about the affairs of the Jia family in detail, the mandarin duck was married, Baoyu took back a concubine, and then thought of Jia Lian's outer room, and looked at him with a special meaning.

Jia Lian didn't notice Lu Jing's eyes, and kept talking about the people who came to visit the old lady, showing Lu Jing the strong connections of the Jia family.

The two chatted all the way to Rongxi Hall, now that Jia Zheng is not there, Jia Yu needs Jia Yu to come forward to receive the distinguished guests, but now Jia Yu extremely does not want to show up, after all, Jia's mother's illness has something to do with him, but he has to see the prince when he comes, and Lu Jing comes for the first time, he can't avoid it and has to meet him.

After Lu Jing entered, under the introduction of Jia Lian, he first met Jia Yu, and then met Wang Ziteng.

Jia Yu's attitude towards Lu Jing was quite affectionate, but Wang Ziteng was a little lukewarm.

Before they could say a few words, a maid came over to spread the word, saying that the old lady wanted to meet the new aunt.

Lu Jing hurriedly confessed to Jia Yu and Wang Ziteng, and then followed Jia Lian to Jia's mother's outer courtyard.

As soon as she arrived at the porch, there was a little maid who went to report it, and Daiyu was busy standing at the door waiting after hearing this, and the unmarried Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Baochai, Baoqin and others in the house were busy hiding inside.

Lu Jing came outside the house and saw Daiyu's eyes slightly red, knowing that she should have cried just now, and hurriedly threw inquiring eyes at her.

Daiyu understood, shook her head slightly to indicate that it was okay, and then grabbed Lu Jing's sleeve and came inside.

As soon as Lu Jing entered the door, he saw that Jia's mother's room was very lively, an old lady wearing a green wrinkled silk sheepskin gown was leaning on the couch, four middle-aged women were sitting on both sides, Wang Xifeng and Li Kun were standing on both sides, and a few little maids who had not left their heads were holding fly brooms and gargling bowls.

Daiyu hurriedly introduced Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang Ziteng, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang to Lu Jing, and Lu Jing greeted them one by one.

After seeing the ceremony, Lu Jing and Dai Yufu met Jia's mother with a big bow.

Seeing that Lu Jing was calm and polite, Jia Mu smiled and said, "Okay, get up, sit down and talk!" ”

When Daiyu heard this, she pulled Lu Jing to sit under Aunt Xue, and did not return to her seat.

Seeing that the two acted in unison, behaved intimately, and were extremely natural, Jia Mu smiled at everyone: "What a loving little couple, like a pair of beautiful people, it is pleasing to the eye." ”

Wang Xifeng hurriedly smiled and echoed: "Who said it wasn't, just look at Sister Lin's complexion and charm now are much better than when she was a girl, obviously because of the comfort of life, since my aunt came in, Sister Lin has a smile between her eyebrows, and her eyes have never left. ”

Daiyu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sister Feng is still so fond of making fun of people, I don't think you will need a rod to beat dates in the future, as long as you are sent to beat all the dates!" ”

Although Wang Xifeng didn't understand what he meant, when he saw that everyone was laughing, and there were bursts of laughter in the room, he knew that it was not a good word, and said with a smile: "Your mouth hasn't changed at all, are you scolding me again!" ”

Daiyu said seriously: "Sister Feng, don't be ignorant of good people's hearts, I'm praising my sister's ability!" ”

Everyone laughed even more happily when they heard this, and Baochai and Xiangyun in the middle laughed at Daiyu and said that Sister Feng could go directly to beat dates with a long tongue, but Sister Feng still didn't understand.

Jia Mu smiled and said to Sister Feng: "Yu'er has to treat you, Yu'er don't be shy, your young couple got married not long ago, so it's normal to be so intimate, don't care about Feng Ya's nonsense, she also left Lian'er for a moment and kept chattering!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng no longer paid attention to Daiyu, and was busy shouting at Jia's mother, saying when he was like that.

After a few people joked, Lu Jing asked about Jia's mother's condition.

Jia Mu smiled: "It's just that I walked around the garden for a while yesterday, and I was affected by the cool breeze, so it wasn't a big deal, but they made a big fuss and provoked relatives to visit." ”

Lu Jing smiled: "It's okay that the old lady is fine, Yu'er got the news yesterday, and she didn't sleep well all night, and she kept thinking about the old lady." ”

After hearing this, Mother Jia said with a smile on her face: "Yu'er has been intimate with me since she was a child, and even Baoyu can't compare to Yu'er in terms of filial piety, I think Yu'er looks much better than before, and her body is plump, so it can be seen that you didn't let her suffer any grievances, and took good care of Yu'er." ”

Lu Jing said with a smile: "With the old lady supporting Yu'er, I naturally don't dare to let her be wronged, not to mention that Yu'er is the wife of the younger generation, the wife of the Lu family, and it is also my duty to take care of Yu'er." ”

Jia Mu's face was even more happy when she heard this, although she knew that this was to make herself happy, but it was enough that he cared about Daiyu, so he would say something to compliment himself.

Wang Xifeng interjected: "It seems that even my uncle knows that the old lady loves her granddaughter, so it can be seen that Sister Lin often talks to her uncle about the old lady, and he doesn't dare to bully Sister Lin because of the old lady's deterrence." ”

Lin Daiyu saw that her husband had been joking with the old lady, and knew that her husband had wronged herself so much in order to make herself more face-saving in the Jia family, and she felt sweet and ashamed in her heart.

While a few people were talking, Baochai and Tanchun, who were hiding in the room, were also talking in low voices.

Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin were very curious about the situation outside, so they stood close to the hall and listened.

Xue Baoqin covered her mouth and snickered and said in a low voice: "I've always heard them talk about Sister Lin before, it turns out that Sister Lin is so powerful that even the second sister-in-law can be speechless. ”

Xue Baochai sighed, didn't talk too much about Daiyu with her, just briefly introduced Lu Jing's identity, and said: "He is now a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, he may know Mei Hanlin, and one day we will go to him to inquire about the situation of the Mei family." ”

Xue Baoqin hurriedly responded in a low voice, feeling a little strange in her heart, Sister Bao seemed to be very interested in Sister Lin's father-in-law.

Jia Baoyu didn't stay outside, but also followed Tanchun and the others into the room, and was discussing with Tanchun at this time, taking advantage of Daiyu's coming over today, everyone gathered in the garden to hold a poetry meeting.

Tanchun rejected his proposal without hesitation, if it was just their sisters holding a poetry party, it would not hurt to invite Daiyu, but it would be inconvenient to bring Baoyu.

As the so-called gentleman takes precautions, he is not suspicious, the melon field is not accepted, and Li Xia is not crowned, this kind of controversial thing is still not done, not to mention that Baoyu's reputation is so bad that he even accepted another concubine.

Jia Baoyu was extremely disappointed after hearing this, and felt that it was a pity that Daiyu was missing from the poetry club.

Tanchun didn't continue to pay attention to Jia Baoyu's thoughts, continued to listen to the conversation outside, and heard a maid come in to report that the eldest master had invited his uncle over, and knew that Lu Jing was leaving.

Lu Jing saw that Jia Yu sent someone to invite, so he said goodbye to Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang and others, and went to Rongxi Hall with Jia Lian again.
