Chapter 5 Daiyu enters Jiafu
In winter, Mother Lijia was too lazy to move, and with Baoyu and others with her, she didn't want to go out, and the maids had a lot less to do. Idle is also idle, Jiang Yan spent a lot of money ruthlessly, and the little guy on the door bought a few gifts, gave them to Mama Qian in the pantry, and followed her to learn to make tea. She still can't stand this cold day, and the hot water in the tea room is non-stop all day, but it is much warmer than other places.
Mama Qian is kind-hearted, and she uses gloves to serve tea and water every day, and she still has a good impression of Jiang Yan.
Mama Qian in the winter was too lazy to move, thanks to the blessing of this master, Jiang Yan could also serve outside the main room occasionally by serving tea and water, although she still couldn't get close to Mother Jia, but it was also an improvement.
There are a few little girls who are angry that Jiang Yan can enter the house so quickly, but their eyes are staring at the few big girls in the main room, and they can't look down on Mama Qian, who is in charge of the pantry, what's the use of stammering a grandma? It's just a place in the outer corner! And Jiang Yan is still diligent and generous in helping them run errands, so she is embarrassed to say anything.
It is almost the month of La, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng are busy with New Year's affairs, and they are busy, and the steward in the shop on Zhuangzi comes over every day. In addition to being busy with the New Year's decoration, there was nothing else to do in Rongqing Hall, and Jiang Yan also learned to cut a few pieces of red paper, fortunately, she was not handbroken, and it was no longer a problem to have some simple appearances after a few times.
One day, a servant came to report that the Lin family's boat had arrived, and it had now gotten off the dock, and the family had sent someone to pick it up.
The whole Rongqing Hall suddenly became lively, the old lady's attention to this granddaughter was obvious to everyone, and she had already ordered it many times, no matter what she thought in her heart, the people all showed a look of elation.
Of course Jiang Yan is not, she is really elated.
For her now, Sister Lin is the points of walking! She got five hundred points from Jia Baoyu, and Lin Daiyu couldn't be worse. And Sister Lin was originally her favorite character in the Dream of Red Mansions, how could she not like the two?
As soon as Lin Daiyu's sedan chair entered Ningrong Street, a small group rushed to report.
Jia Mu hurriedly asked people to notify the two wives of Xing and Wang to come over. The niece came, and these two aunts naturally couldn't be rude and late.
Jiang Yan went separately from another little maid named Liu'er.
Mrs. Wang's residence is close, she is also charitable and generous, and she is often rewarded, so naturally Liu Er went to report the news. Jiang Yan, a newcomer, had no choice but to go to Mrs. Xing.
After reporting the letter and going out of the weeping flower gate, Jiang Yan didn't walk through the hall, and took a long detour past Jia Zhengwai's study. She remembered that after Lin Daiyu entered Jia's mansion, Jia Yucun was going to come to visit Jia Zheng.
But the time is uncertain, so it's better to plan early. Secretly throw the miniature camera that was exchanged from the system into the courtyard of the study, this is a special camera for interstellar film and television dramas, the size is like a floater, according to the introduction of the system, it can be positioned and followed, and the 360-degree close-up and distant view can be selected at will, automatic battery life, which is completely the best choice for the crew. As long as Jia Yucun appears, Jiang Yan can set up to follow him and check his movements at any time.
Although Jiang Yan chose a generation of products in order to save points, it is completely enough in this era.
Jiang Yan, who wanted to be an iron rooster, comforted herself that she was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, after all, this can be recycled, for those plots that are far away in the world, this point is still very necessary!
When Jiang Yan returned to Rongqing Hall, Mrs. Xing's car had already arrived, and a group of maids and wives had already gathered in the courtyard of the main house, waiting to welcome Miss Lin's arrival. She didn't go into the house, and joined in the crowd.
After a while, they heard a voice "Miss Lin is here", and everyone immediately quieted down and looked up, only to see a group of mothers-in-law hugging a weak and slender little girl walking towards the main room. She wore a light purple blouse, embroidered with plum blossoms at the neckline, a thin folded skirt of white silk, and a green calyx plum cloak on a white background. A pair of thin eyebrows are slightly frowned, and the pointed little face is snow-white, and it looks very weak and can't help it, as if there is a deficiency.
Although she is still a little Lori, she can vaguely see the future style between her eyebrows.
Walking to the door, three or four little maids were busy fighting to open the curtains, Jiang Yan saw Lin Daiyu enter the door, and she couldn't enter the main house now if she had nothing to do.
Although Sister Lin hasn't grown into a goddess yet, she is also very cute in her childhood. With the joy of seeing Sister Lin's real person, Jiang Yan was even more active in doing things that day.
At this time, hearing a faint sound coming from the house, Jiang Yan estimated that she would cry for a while inside, and turned around and went to the tea room.
Mama Qian had already prepared the tea, and she just waited for the main room to send it over as soon as she was instructed. At this time, I was waiting for news, and when I saw Jiang Yan coming over, I scolded her with a smile: "You girl is going to see the excitement again!" Don't say come to help me. ”
"With you, what else do you need me to do?" Jiang Yan complimented her and reminded, "I'm crying over there, let's get some warm water first, and I guess we'll have to freshen up later." ”
"I've been prepared for a long time."
After a while, someone came to call for water in the main room, Mama Qian and Jiang Yan hurriedly carried the water over, and the two stood in the corner of the outer room, and each personal maid served the master and briefly freshened up, and Sister Lin began to recognize her relatives.
This is nothing to do with her, Jiang Yan reluctantly followed Mama Qian and retreated with the residual water. Fortunately, after a while, another maid came over there to ask for tea, Jiang Yan took the tea tray and went in again, this time she could finally stay longer.
Sanchun also arrived with the maid at this time, and the sisters greeted each other, and the maids brought tea and fruit. The ladies and ladies spoke. talked about how Daiyu's mother got sick, how to ask a doctor to take medicine, and how to send her to death and mourn. Mother Jia couldn't help but feel sad again. Everyone was relieved to explain, and the strategy stopped slightly.
Jiang Yan listened to it outside and felt that this old man was pitiful, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and the loss of his mother at a young age was the most painful in life, thinking of her sudden car accident, she didn't know how sad her parents were, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and almost cried.
Fortunately, at this time, a burst of laughter came, interrupting her crying, Wang Xifeng was surrounded by a group of maids and women, and came in through the back door in a hurry.
As soon as she came, she crackled and said, sweeping away the previous sluggish atmosphere, and the whole room became lively.
Jiang Yan also put aside the depression in her heart and listened attentively to the conversation in the room.
At this time, Mrs. Wang asked Wang Xi if Fengyue's money had been released, and Sister Feng replied that it had been released, and talked about finding satin tailoring for Sister Lin.
It may be that she has seen too much of the various analyses of the Red Mansion in later generations, Jiang Yan only felt that this kind of thing should be brought out and said, this singing and harmony, and the intention of taking care of Sister Lin to please Mother Jia is too obvious, if you really reassure people to clean up properly, why do you want to ask now. And Mrs. Wang's topic is too blunt, and I don't feel like the topic revolving around Lin Daiyu.
At that moment, the conversation came to an end, and the maid inside took down the tea fruit, and Mother Jia was asking the two mothers-in-law to take Daiyu to meet her two maternal uncles, knowing that there was nothing important in the future, Jiang Yan did not delay and left with the tea tray.
When Jiang Yan was helping the rough maid pour the leftover tea and wash the teacups in the tea room, she heard a movement outside, she looked over from the door, and it turned out that Mrs. Xing was leading Daiyu out to ride in the car to meet her two uncles.
When she watched Dream of Red Mansions, she often saw readers saying that Jia's mother was eccentric, and she also saw a lot of fanfiction with Jia Yu as the protagonist. Based on what she has seen these days, partiality is certain, and Mrs. Xing usually can't say a few words in front of Jia's mother. And looking at their residence, it is located in the east and west of Rongguo Mansion, and Mrs. Wang's yard is a few steps away, and Mrs. Xing has to take a car when she comes.
Jia Mu simply said that if you can, don't come over, let's have less contact on the bright side. I really don't know what the reason is.
Jiang Yan muttered a sentence about the youngest son, eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old lady, and let it go.
When it was time for dinner, Mrs. Xing had been instructed not to come, and Jiang Yan ran to Mrs. Wang's east courtyard to inform them that the old lady was going to pass the meal.
Mrs. Wang took Daiyu and followed the maids to Rongqing Hall again.
The others also arrived at this time, and the maids hurriedly began to set up tables and chairs for dinner. After finishing the meal, rinsing the mouth, and finishing the tea set, Mrs. Wang, Li Kun, and Wang Xifeng were able to retreat. Fang Cai served the old lady to eat, and Li Kun and Wang Xifeng hadn't eaten yet.
They are used to it, but Jiang Yan lamented more and more that she was unlucky, how could she have traveled to this era of pit fathers, the Tang and Song dynasties were not a hundred times better than now, how can it be like now, the low status of women has reached the bottom line!
Let's talk about Mrs. Wang, who is also from the four major families, and now she is also the wife of the housekeeper, but there is still no seat here in Mother Jia, and she has to serve the dishes and cloth dishes herself. Today is Daiyu's push, so she sits down to eat together, otherwise she will be hungry and watch them eat.
That's it, but in addition to Jia Mu and Daiyu, there are also Sanchun on the table. Forget about welcoming spring and cherishing spring, in the next room, Tanchun is Jia Zheng's concubine, although she doesn't need Mrs. Wang to add food to her, but how can she feel better. A wife in the main house is hungry and has to serve people, but a concubine is sitting and waiting for people to serve.
Jiang Yan didn't have an opinion on Tanchun, and she didn't choose the concubine, and she didn't have any bias towards Mrs. Wang. But for her, it's completely unacceptable to take a concubine and sleep with a girl, let alone a man who robbed you, and you still have to take care of her baby?! I'm going to be angry, she can't be such a virtuous person anyway.
The daughters of this big family are so aggrieved as daughters-in-law, isn't it even worse for those of small families? Although there may be good men, it is too difficult to pan for gold in the sand, Jiang Yan didn't want to, and now she is more and more broken from the idea of marrying in this era.
