Chapter 26 Same and Different
The merchants of this era, especially the salt merchants, were deeply aware of their own fate and were closely linked to the policies of the court, so in order to grasp the news of the court in time, they had a set of their own transmission channels, which was much faster than the arrival of the imperial court.
After Lin Jin mastered this set of channels in Wu Jiugong, he carried out a little reform, not only to make its transmission speed faster, but also to include information not only in the court, but also in various places. But it was the first time for her to send a letter.
Opening the letter written by Yuou, Lin Jin took the thick letter paper and read it slowly.
The situation on the road in the letter is almost simple compared to the description after entering Beijing and entering the palace. Just outlined that Daiyu was in a bad mood because she was away from home, and she was a little seasick and unwell, and because she was in a hurry, the food was a little unpalatable, so Daiyu was a little thin, but fortunately, she was not sick.
Eyes fell on the words "not sick", Lin Jin couldn't help but sigh, in this way, in fact, Daiyu's body is not as bad as she imagined. You know, in ancient times, I don't know how many healthy people fell ill because of the long distance, and even gave up their lives because of it.
After sighing, she continued to read the letter, and with the description of the rain gull, the picture of that time seemed to be staged in front of her.
……
Let's say that after a period of hurrying, Daiyu finally arrived in Tongzhou, and after abandoning the boat and landing on the shore, there was a vehicle sent by Rongguofu to send a sedan chair and pull luggage on the wharf for a long time.
Different from being instilled by Jia Min since he was a child, how different the Jia family is from other families, Lin Jin mentioned the Jia family, his eyes were full of contempt, and his words were full of disdain, saying that although it looked quite scaring when it put on a show, it was not a family at all in the era of "three generations to see food, four generations to see through, and five generations to read poetry and books", at most it was a little better than the "nouveau riche", but compared with his own family, there was a sense of "Mu Monkey and Crown", which was nondescript.
After listening to it a lot, although Yuou didn't dare to take the Jia family seriously like Lin Jin, he couldn't help but feel a lot less awe. Therefore, seeing that Daiyu has seen these third-class servant women in recent days, the food and clothing are already extraordinary, not to mention that she is now at her home, so she pays attention every step of the way, always cares, and refuses to say a word more easily, and takes one more step, lest she be laughed at for the stern posture he went to, and couldn't help but persuade: "I don't think the girl needs to be so cautious and careful."
You must know that although the girl's grandmother's family is extraordinary, the Lin family is not only the Zhong Ding family, but also a scholarly family, and it is not inferior to the Jia family at all, so the girl really doesn't have to be presumptuous.
With all due respect, although the girl is a guest at her grandmother's house, she also represents the Lin family. The girl behaved like this, it can't be said that people should be underestimated, and at that time, it will not only be the girl's face that will be lost, but also the Lin family. ”
Daiyu smiled and didn't speak, but the nervousness felt a lot less.
As for how Daiyu entered Jiafu, how to stabilize it, and how thoughtful it was in terms of etiquette,...... With Cao Gong's huge pen in front, Yuou's description is inevitably a little inferior.
However, because of Lin Jin's intervention, although the situation is the same as Cao Gong's account for most of the time, it is still a little different.
The same is that Daiyu met Jia's mother and a cadre of Jiafu in Rongqing Hall, and there will be a meeting later
The two uncles and the two aunts got along the same, but the difference was that when they saw Baoyu, the situation was slightly off.
