Chapter 32: The Return
Baoyu didn't greet anyone else, stood up and walked towards the old lady's main room, Tanchun frowned, and Mrs. Wang said, "My son, you can go too!" β
"Yes, Mother!" Tanchun hurriedly agreed, and then retreated and walked out.
Jia Zhen and Jia Lian looked at each other and smiled, and also said goodbye to Mrs. Wang, and withdrew, it turned out that Mrs. Wang was looking for them to discuss how to hide the old lady's return to the house, and now that Baoyu is ready to tell, naturally there is nothing to do with them.
What are you afraid of losing an official career, as long as there is still this hereditary title, there will always be a way to rise again in the future, besides, Jia Zhen is also very disappreciative in her heart, Jia Zheng himself is not an official, pedantic and upright, does not know how to be flexible, it is estimated that he offended his boss in office, was participated in a book, and was dismissed from office.
Jia Lianhun didn't know that he had offended Baoyu, he was still complacent, he didn't have to go to Jiangnan in the cold, he knew that Baoyu's words could not be heard, but as long as Baoyu lied to the old lady, he would still be able to avoid this trip to Jiangnan. Now it's good, the girl Lin has come back by herself.
"Ma'am!" Seeing that everyone had retreated, Baochai looked at Mrs. Wang with a sad face, just called "Mrs.", her lips moved, but she lowered her head and grabbed her clothes, silent, with tears in her eyes.
"Ying'er go out!" Madame Wang commanded.
Ying'er is Baochai's personal maidservant, and when she heard the words, she was busy blessing and retreated. The raider and Musk Yue were waiting outside, so naturally they didn't know what was going on inside, but they heard the little girls say that Miss Lin was back, and they saw Baoyu and Tanchun looking at Jia's mother's room, thinking that it was true, and their hearts were full of tastes, and they were very sour.
"My son, don't worry, with me, I will never let that evil obstacle wronged you! You just have to go to the old lady first, lest the old lady be upset. Mrs. Wang took Baochai's hand and comforted.
"Yes, ma'am, daughter-in-law saved it." Baochai bowed his head and agreed.
Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "I know you are a good boy, not that tricky and eccentric person, you go over first, I will come after changing my clothes." β
"Yes!" Baochai nodded, said goodbye to Mrs. Wang, and took Ying'er and the others over without mentioning it.
But he said that Lin Daiyu naturally made another amazing discovery in Jiangnan, and he was surprised in his heart, just as the New Year was approaching, Zhao Yu intended to return to Beijing, so he asked Daiyu to go with him. Daiyu did not postpone it, and hurriedly handed over the Jiangnan affairs to the Yangzhou prefect Fu Wandeng and the county order to take care of, but she and Zhao Yu returned to the capital.
When Zhao Yu was less than ten miles away from the capital, he entered the city first, and Daiyu's carriage slowed down the journey and deliberately delayed on the road for a few days before entering the city.
The two of them concealed their whereabouts along the way, naturally no one knew about it, Zhao Yu also took care of her life-saving grace, and after the two met in Jiangnan, they talked quite a bit along the way, Zhao Yu admired her extraordinary knowledge and fairy beauty, after she entered the city, she asked people to arrange a mansion for her near Jiafu, and the maid was naturally proper, so she didn't have to worry about it.
Daiyu also accepted his kindness half-pushed, which made Zhao Yu really happy. After Daiyu settled down in the capital, she came over with gifts to see Mrs. Jia Muwang and others.
When Mother Jia saw Daiyu, she was naturally very happy, hugged her in her arms, and cried with a sound of flesh.
Amber and Mandarin Duck were alert, afraid that they would cry and hurt Jia's mother, so they hurriedly sent someone to invite the third girl, Baoyu and others over. In the past, when encountering the scene, it was naturally very appropriate to invite Sister Feng over, but now, the smart Mandarin Duck and Amber both found that the old lady didn't want to see Sister Feng'er very much, otherwise, if the eldest lady asked her to come over, the old lady would naturally stop her.
"Greetings to the old lady!" Daiyu waited for Jia's mother to be at ease, and was busy seeing the ceremony again, but she was already stopped by Jia's mother, pulled to sit beside her, and asked long and short questions.
Daiyu was busy laughing and picking up some interesting things on the road to talk about, but she never mentioned anything else. Mother Jia was busy inviting the girls and instructing the house to be tidied up.
Daiyu said with a smile: "The old lady doesn't need to be busy, although I came to the capital this time, I still want to go to Jiangnan soon." β
At this time, Baoyu and Tanchun and Xichun had already come, and Daiyu was busy meeting the sisters, but Baochai was missing.
"Sister Lin, you went to Jiangnan, I don't know if there are any good things to bring us?" Tanchun held Daiyu and said, the two talked a few words, and couldn't help but ask jokingly.
"I've been to Jiangnan here, if I don't come back with a little bit of good things, the sisters will spare me?" Daiyu smiled and said, "I'll let someone send it over later." β
"How can this girl learn to be poor lately?" The torture lady over there smiled.
"Big lady made fun of it!" Tanchun's face turned red, and he couldn't help but regret it, he had been used to getting used to getting along with Daiyu for a long time, but it was nothing, but he was teased by Mrs. Xing, and his face couldn't help but be a little uncontrollable.
"My son, all family, are still shy? Come to think of it, you have never been out of a girl's house, and you want some Jiangnan things to look fresh, and there are some, which is also our negligence. Mrs. Xing smiled, and said that she hurriedly instructed the girl who came over, and said, "Are those gadgets sent by Jiangnan the day before yesterday still there?" You go and tell the grandmother, let her hurry up and come out, the third girl and the fourth girl are waiting to have a new play. β
Where did Jia Mu hear it, and asked in a row, "What is it?" β
Mrs. Xing hurriedly stood up and replied: "It's some perfume sent by Jiangnan to wash the girls' faces and hair, and I sent it before, I was busy with things in the new year, and I was going to send it to the girls, but I forgot about it. β
When Jia Mu heard this, she just smiled and nodded, Daiyu knew in her heart that those things were only the products of Lin's Cosmetics Company, and she didn't know who brought them to Jia Mansion by the way.
But Tanchun was deeply surprised, Mrs. Xing has always been a stingy person, and she won't spend anything on them, and the old lady is just a personal favor, why is she so generous today?
Baoyu wanted to say a few words to Lin Daiyu several times, but there were many people in the room, and now that he was a relative after all, he naturally couldn't act as casually as he did when he was a child, so he could only sit in front of Jia's mother.
"Old lady...... The old lady ......" Everyone was talking, and suddenly they heard the little girl at the door shouting in a row, "The second girl is back." β
"What?" Mother Jia and everyone were taken aback, Yingchun married Sun Shaozu, last time Mrs. Wang sent someone to pick it up, so waiting, everyone looked anxious and uncomfortable, now Jiafu did not send someone to greet him, how could he come back well?
Could it be thatβ
Mother Jia and Mrs. Xing couldn't help but look at you, I looked at you, and I couldn't speak for a while!
In the end, it was Jia's mother who had changed for a long time and was busy saying, "Don't you invite in?" β
The mandarin duck lifted the curtain, only to see that Yingchun was wearing a silver mink coat, inside was a red placket jacket, and the jacket was lined with pearls the thickness of a finger, although it was in broad daylight, but it also exuded a faint soft light, but under the feet was a green brocade skirt, with a five-tailed golden phoenix on the head, and a golden step swayed back and forth, but it was the best ruby inlay, which set off the face like Fu powder and the lips seemed to contain Zhu ......
