Chapter 118: Provincial Relatives

Lin Daiyu because of her weak body, she rests earlier than ordinary people on weekdays, even if she can't sleep, she lies in bed to close her eyes and recuperate, but tomorrow is the big day of Jiafu, she heard that the old lady and others have not rested, and she is not good enough to go to sleep.

Zijuan didn't let her read more, she just read for half an hour and urged her to rest, Lin Daiyu couldn't bear her chatter, so she had to put down the book, and saw that the moonlight outside the window was just right, so she got up and went out for a walk.

It's a pity that although the moonlight is beautiful, Zijuan is a chattering person, afraid that she will freeze and afraid that she will be tired, just when Jiang Yan invited her to play next door, Lin Daiyu agreed after thinking about it, and Zijuan was worried about her again.

Baoyu had already untied her hair and changed her clothes, and was playing chess with the attacker in the house, when she saw Lin Daiyu coming, she hurriedly put down the chess pieces and stood up and said, "Why did Sister Lin come over?" You haven't slept so late? ”

While welcoming her in, he said to Jiang Yan, "Danyu, go and bring a bowl of rose dew to Sister Lin." ”

"I met Danyu at the door, and she said you guys are playing together," Daiyu looked at the melon seeds in the room and said with a smile: "I think you guys are really lively here." ”

Baoyu was afraid that she would be dissatisfied, so she hurriedly took her into the room and explained: "It's a rare time, everyone is so excited that they can't sleep, so they just get together." ”

Daiyu said: "You have to go to meet Niangniang tomorrow, and you can't rest for a day, why don't you go to bed early?" I'm not afraid that my body can't stand it. ”

Baoyu smiled: "You know about me, why don't you pay attention to yourself?" ”

Daiyu made an excuse and said: "I don't need to wait outside tomorrow, I don't want to rest if I want to, or it doesn't hurt to go to bed later." ”

Jiang Yan came in to deliver rose dew, saw that the two of them were chatting, and didn't bother, and went out after serving tea.

Hearing that the mandarin duck had persuaded the old lady to rest, he knew it in his heart, and hurriedly went back to the house to let everyone disperse, "You can't sleep and go back to play by yourself, Baoyu has important things to do tomorrow, but you have to recuperate." ”

As soon as Jiang Yan heard that she could go back, she was the first to leave the house.

At this time, when it was already close to the child, everyone's excitement had almost dissipated, and the attackers felt a little sleepy as soon as they reminded them, so they cleaned up the house and went back to the house.

Daiyu heard the movement outside, got up and said, "It's not too early, I'll go back." ”

Baoyu wanted to send her back, but she stopped her, "You better rest early, I can't lose such a little way." ”

Baoyu had no choice but to stop and advise, "You too, don't be too late." Then he instructed Zijuan, "Look at you girls." He sent them away.

As soon as the attacker saw that Daiyu had left, he hurriedly urged Baoyu to rest quickly, "Ming'er, I have to talk about a few of them, I forgot the time when I played, what time is it." ”

Baoyu hurriedly said: "Blame them for everything, I called them over." ”

The attacker covered him with the quilt, "Okay, don't say it, you can go to sleep quickly." ”

After speaking, he put out the candle, and by the light outside, he touched the couch next to him and fell asleep, and he didn't say anything all night.

The second day was the fifteenth day of the first month, the day of the concubine's provincial relatives, and Jiang Yan struggled to get up on the fifth watch. She has nothing to do today, but it's a pity that Jia Baoyu has to accompany her throughout the whole process, and she, a maid, can't be lazy, and several people are busy dressing Baoyu, so they can be regarded as relieved.

Jia Baoyu is wearing a particularly grand dress today, wearing a big red woven gold python white fox arrow sleeve, tied with a colorful silk flower knot long spike palace silk, covered with a stone blue flower eight groups of satin row tassel gown, wearing a silk inlaid treasure purple gold crown on his head, a silk hairpin on the top, and finally bring him a Tongling jade tied to the eight treasures Yingluo, this body is radiant, more and more his face is like powder, the color is like spring dawn.

Jiang Yan also admired it in her heart, Jia Baoyu's appearance is really killing a lot of small fresh meat in modern times, not to mention that people also have their own aristocratic temperament, and they are gentle, no wonder so many girls have played well with him, but they have no other ideas, and it is good to look at his face.

When Baoyu arrived at Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang and others had already arrived, and everyone with a title wore a lot of makeup, and Li Kun and Wang Xifeng also wore extraordinarily grand clothes. Everyone had a smile on their faces, and the corners of their eyes and eyebrows showed smugness.

After sending Baoyu to the front yard, Jiang Yan and the others obediently returned to Qianyun Xuan, leaving only the attackers in front to take care of them. The others have nothing to do, and they don't dare to have fun, they just feel that the time is long. Around noon, the attacker came back from the front yard quickly, and everyone hurriedly gathered around and asked, "Niangniang is here?" ”

"No, the old lady is waiting outside the gate."

"That should be soon." Everyone speculated.

Who knew that after an hour, there was no movement outside, and everyone was anxious, but they saw that Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others were back.

Jiang Yan knew that it was at night, but it was not surprising, but the others didn't know why, but they were taken aback, this, why did this come back again? Busy to inquire about the news.

Fortunately, the news spread quickly, and soon they heard about it, and a eunuch came to inform, "The virtuous concubine Niangniang has not had dinner at the first moment, and she has not gone to the Baoling Palace to worship the Buddha at the second moment. ”

It's only noon, and there's still half a day to wait, so it's no wonder they're all back.

It was getting dark, and Wang Xifeng ordered people to pick up candles into the garden and light lamps everywhere. This is the first time that the provincial courtyard has been completely opened at night after the completion of the courtyard, and the fire trees and silver flowers are everywhere, and the lights are brilliant, even if it is separated by a wall, it still attracts the maids to look there.

When it was time to arrive, Jia Mu and the others did not dare to delay, rearranged their clothes and waited outside the gate again.

It didn't take long for a little guy to run over panting, "The old man said that the provincial team is about to arrive, please get ready." ”

Jia Yu and others were outside the gate of West Street, and Jia Mu and others were outside the gate of Rongfu. At the entrance of the streets and alleys, they were all surrounded by fences, and they didn't know much about what was going on in front of them, and as soon as they stood up according to the words, they saw a group of more than a dozen eunuchs clapping their hands and walking over. Knowing this signal, everyone hurriedly straightened themselves and waited for the arrival of the mother.

Jiang Yan faintly heard the sound of fine music in the Qianyun Xuan, and knew that it was the concubine's honor guard that had arrived, but unfortunately at this time they had been driven back to the room by the grandmothers, and they couldn't take a peek. Jiang Yan took a piece of pastry and took a bite of it hatefully.

Because the kitchen was busy preparing dinner, their meal tonight was steamed buns and pickles, and one for each person, fortunately, she liked to eat in the house on weekdays, otherwise she would have to starve.

So what's the benefit of saving relatives? The maids also got a new dress, Jiafu spent so much silver, and they saw each other for a few hours, and the outside said that it was moral politics, but Jiang Yan felt that it was just another form of labor and money.
