Chapter 42: Asked Again
"My sister also has jade?" Hearing this, Baoyu was already smiling, and took the jade in a panic, wanting to come to see Daiyu, and saw that her side was just played with by Brother Eaves, and asked, "Where did you get this jade?" Seeing that it's not as good as mine, why don't we both change, okay? ”
How could Daiyu exchange it with him, not to mention, his jade was given by Yun Zhen, just saying that Baoyu this jade is his inseparable treasure, shaking his head, "Even if it's not good, it's also my treasure, I don't exchange it with you, you don't cherish your own, if I give mine to you, one day in the future, you will be tired of it, how should it deal with itself at that time?" ”
Seeing that Baoyu was crazy again, Daiyu was frightened again, and hurriedly said, "Baoyu Baoyu, you are also a piece of jade from the old lady's uncle and aunt, look at it, even if you are not good, are they willing to exchange you for another Baoyu?" ”
He was still stunned, but the old lady glanced at Daiyu, stroked Baoyu and said, "It's not like that, it's a pity that your sister is younger than you, but she understands but is not less than you, you don't want to listen to her, take this jade with you." ”
As he spoke, he personally took the jade from his hand and helped him bring it.
Baoyu sat on the kang next to Daiyu and asked softly, "Has my sister started to read?" ”
"I know a few words." Daiyu didn't want to pay attention to him, but she thought that he didn't like to read on weekdays, so she asked, "What books did the second brother Bao read?" ”
"I've only read four books." Then he asked, "Does my sister have words?" ”
Daiyu didn't know what kind of moth he would give birth to, and would say, even such a good sister doesn't have a table word, what do I want that table word to do, and I went crazy again, only turned my head and buried it in Jia's arms, unwilling to pay attention to it anymore.
Fortunately, there was another commotion outside, and the people who went to Wang's house came back, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law over there in Dongfu, the three of them talked and laughed at the same time.
In the evening, Lin Ruhai came to pick up the mother, and the men from the two mansions had to get together to accompany Lin Ruhai. Because of the family's flesh and blood, the old lady is a lively person, so she ordered two tables to be placed in the flower hall, separated by a vertical screen, one table for men and one table for women, and everyone ate together.
Daiyu met two uncles at this time. In the book, after Daiyu's younger brother died, her mother died of illness, and her father sent her to Beijing to live with her grandmother. On the first day she entered Jia's mansion, she was led by two aunts to see her uncle, Jia Yu was gone, Jia Zheng would rather accompany Jia Yucun, a scholar she had never met, than take the time to see her.
Now, everyone is happy with her, and people have prepared gifts for her and her younger brother, Jia Yu touched the goat's whiskers, looked at her and nodded, and Jia Zheng touched her head, "The eldest sister looks better than the children in the family!" His gaze had already traced the jade pendant on Daiyu's side.
Lin Ruhai was ordered to salt Zheng, the Jia family had long known about it, and on the men's table, across the screen, Daiyu heard Jia Zheng talking to his father. Jia Yu and Jia Zhen were together, muttering, not knowing what they were talking about, only laughing from time to time.
Here, Mrs. Xing held the rice, the Li family was in the soup, and Mrs. Wang made a scene, and the old lady asked them all to sit down, "Let them do it today, you sit down, the family is flesh and blood, and talk." ”
After a while, Mrs. Wang couldn't hold back and asked, "Sister, I heard that you have entered the palace several times around the year, have you ever seen your niece and daughter?" ”
It's Yuanchun. It's been less than a year since I entered the palace, so it's no wonder that I'm worried about it. It's just that Daiyu doesn't understand a little, she is distressed and worried, so why send her to the palace?
"In the first month, after Lian'er went to ask, I went to the palace again and asked quietly, although the life in the palace is difficult, as long as you abide by the rules, it is not impossible to live. After all, you don't need to worry too much, and the second sister-in-law shouldn't be too concerned. She was also raised by the old lady, she knows how to read and understand, and knows how to advance and retreat. ”
On that day, the old lady was very fond of this eldest granddaughter, and she raised her with great difficulty, and she wanted to say that she was a good family, but who knows, she was sent to the palace. At this moment, thinking about it like this, the old lady was a little unhappy, and sighed, "These three times and twice people asked, and you can ask for a flower?" Today is a good day for Lian'er, why bother to say something unhappy? ”
Mrs. Wang shed two tears and asked no more.
This is the second time, but fortunately, they will not enter the palace again in recent years.
At the end of the seat, it was not early, and Jia had to go back to clean up, so he got up and said goodbye. The old lady cried again and pulled Daiyu, "This mountain is high and the water is long, it is better to leave Jiaojiao behind, I will help you raise it, and it will save you from running around with you." ”
How can Daiyu be willing? The book says that Brother Wei died when she was three years old, and when she was five years old, Jia died. Now, Brother E'er has just passed her second birthday, and seeing that there is only one year left, she has to guard it no matter what, and refuses to let the tragedy happen again, so she said, "Mother is not in good health, Jiaojiao wants to help her mother take Brother Eaves with her, and when her brother is older, Jiaojiao will come back to honor her grandmother." ”
When the old lady heard this, she was very pleased, and asked people to take out a lot of good things, and asked Jia Shi to take them back, "The two children fell into the grass, and they didn't see my things from beginning to end. ”
Jia was still afraid that his aunts and uncles would have opinions, so he shirked slightly, but the old lady did not give in, "My things, I will give them to whoever I will say, and who of them dares to say anything?" Besides, I'm not for you, it's for my granddaughter and grandson, what are you twisting? ”
Jia had no choice but to say, "Mom, this is to blame me, this is to be wanted, not to be wanted!" ”
"Auntie and grandma are about to accept it, if you don't accept it again, even we will have to suffer." Mrs. Xing was somehow so excited, and quipped rarely.
Jia Shi asked the generals to distribute all the gifts they brought, because this time they borrowed Jia Lianna's mouth, so the gift was a little heavier. On the old lady's side, there are not many valuables, they are all clothes made by Jia Shi himself, some supplements and the like.
Before leaving, Mrs. Wang simply stuffed Daiyu with a rosewood large opening and closing inlaid gold inlaid jade mirror, which can be opened left and right, a total of four layers, and the hand is slightly heavy, and Daiyu is not allowed to refuse, "Good boy, don't be polite to your aunt, take it to play, it's not worth anything, if you complain that your aunt hasn't seen you for so many years, you just say don't." ”
Daiyu Mimi smiled, like a kitten, she read the whole story of "Dream of Red Mansions", and she knew Mrs. Wang the most, and knew that she must have entrusted her mother with something, and when she saw Jia's signal for her to accept it, she was not polite.
