The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 252
"Is the old lady better?" Aunt Xue asked with a smile.

Jia Mu said: "Thank you for thinking about it. It's much better. Girl Qin, come to me and let me have a look. Be careful not to catch cold with such thin clothes. Yuanyang, bring me my gold-woven emerald feather fur for the girl to wear." Baoqin is also knowledgeable, so she naturally knew the value of the thing, so she quickly declined, "The emerald feather fur is the best for keeping warm, and it should be worn by old ladies. I often walk around and am not afraid of the cold." Jia Mu pulled her Sitting down, she said: "That color is suitable for your daughter's family to wear." Mrs. Wang also smiled and said: "The old lady gave it to the girl, so it can be seen that the girl's dress is suitable. My family doesn't have to be so out of touch." Baoqin He didn't speak, but he was quite puzzled.Before coming to Jia's house, my elder brother had already told me about the personalities and temperaments of the masters of Jia's house.She naturally knew that Mrs. Wang was not as kind as she looked, but seeing her treat her like this was a little weird.Then look at Xiangyun who was standing next to the man from the Wangfu, looking at him obviously with resentment, a thought flashed in his heart, and the expression on his face became a little pale.Just about to refuse, the girl outside the second room hurried in and said, "Old lady, Princess Yong is here."

Hearing this, everyone was startled, and before they had time to think about it, Mother Jia quickly got up and took everyone out to greet her.The girl hurriedly said again: "The princess said it's cold, so the old lady doesn't have to go out to greet her." Mother Jia hurriedly ordered Sister Feng and Li Wan Xiangyun's daughters-in-law to take everyone out to greet her.Baoqin had also heard of this Princess Yong. She was originally the granddaughter of the old lady, but she was not close to the Jia family.Although he was a little curious, he was a guest after all, so it was not good to go out with Sister Feng and others, so he had to wait in the room with Jia Mu.Not long after, a woman wearing a lavender silver phoenix dark pattern cloak came in surrounded by the crowd.Bao Qin has always been extremely confident in her appearance, but she saw that although the woman's face was clear and indifferent, she was not as bright as her own, but the elegance and nobility between her brows was far beyond her own.I suddenly felt that I was not enough.

As soon as Daiyu entered the room, she saw Baoqin next to Jiamu, and secretly praised her for being a very beautiful woman.The girl accompanying her took off her cloak for Daiyu, revealing a scarlet cheongsam embroidered with hibiscus, with two simple combs on her hair, and only two new palace flowers and two gold-plated green tassel hairpins on her hair.The tassels swayed slightly with the light steps, and they looked elegant and refined.Baoqin was a little surprised that she didn't expect Prince Yongfu Jin to be such a young and beautiful woman.I heard people from the Jia family say that Princess Yong was pregnant again, but now I don't see anything unusual.Everyone in the room hurriedly got up to salute, Daiyu supported Jiamu and smiled lightly: "Old lady, you don't need to be polite." Jiamu said with a smile: "My lord has become a prince, and we haven't been able to go to the mansion to congratulate him in person. Fujin is no wonder That's good." Daiyu shook her head and said, "It's all the grace of Huang Ama. We didn't have any banquets in our house, so how can we blame the old lady." Jia Mu asked Daiyu to take a seat at the top, and everyone took their seats one by one.Daiyu asked about Jiamu's body in a low voice, and then ordered someone to present a gift.Everything is very good for the body, Jia Mu saw it with both sigh and regret.The thing of lamentation is that this granddaughter still remembers herself after all, but what a pity is that she is now Prince Fujin, but unfortunately she is not close to Jia's family.Over the years, Mother Jia has understood Daiyu's thoughts and attitudes, so naturally she would not ask Daiyu to support Jia's family, and just chatted with Daiyu about trivial matters with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Daiyu asked: "Have you never met this girl? There is such an outstanding person beside the old lady?" Jia Mu pointed to Aunt Xue who was on the side and smiled: "This is from Mrs. Xue's family. My niece, Baoqin. Would you like to have a look?" Daiyu held Baoqin with a smile and said, "Of course it's good. Even if Miss Xue looks like this, I would feel ashamed." Killing a girl. How can a girl of Fujin Haoyue remember the first half of it." Daiyu covered her lips and smiled, "Miss Xue really knows how to talk, but no one will believe what you said. You say yes? Mo Feng laughed and said: "What Fujin said is exactly. Miss Xue is really a rare beauty."

Daiyu took Baoqin and sat down beside her with a smile, and said, "It's boring for me to be alone on weekdays. If you have free time, you might as well come and sit at my house." I don’t dare to disturb Fujin.” Daiyu smiled and said, “What do you want to disturb or not? I like you very much when I see you. I don’t have many people around me to chat with. I had a better relationship with Princess Wen Ke a few years ago. Since she got married, no one came to see me." Baoqin bowed her head and said, "Baoqin doesn't dare to compare with Princess Wen Ke. If Fujin doesn't dislike her, she can call Baoqin to chat with Fujin at the mansion. to chat with."

Daiyu nodded in satisfaction, knowing what Baoqin was thinking.If she married into the Mei family, she would definitely have to establish a good relationship with Prince Yong's mansion in the officialdom.If this marriage fails, I won't care about any difficulties with myself.Such a woman knows how to advance and retreat, understands gains and losses, and knows when to advance and when to retreat.Daiyu has a better impression of Baoqin.Sighing lightly, she patted Baoqin's hand and said, "Don't think I'm bothering you then." Baoqin hurriedly said not to dare.Seeing the two of them like this, the others had different expressions on their faces.Jia's mother looked satisfied, Daiyu was always indifferent to the girls and daughters-in-law of Jia's family, it would be good if Baoqin could make friends with her.Xiangyun stood behind Mrs. Wang and looked at Baoqin with more jealous eyes.Mother Jia planned how could she not know, but what a pity that she knew?I can't help myself to resist half a point.Ever since Baoqin came to the mansion, even Baoyu, who has been hanging around among the girls, has been circling around him.Just like he did to Daiyu back then, how could Xiangyun not hate him?
While talking and laughing, someone came to report to Mei Hanlin's wife in the Imperial Academy to see him.Mother Jia was startled, and smiled at Daiyu: "Fujin is here today, and our family is really full of distinguished guests." She was a little puzzled in her heart. It can be said that their family has nothing to do with Mei Hanlin's family. What is the purpose of the visit?So in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said to Sister Feng and Xiangyun, "Go and meet Mrs. Mei." Mrs. Mei is a bachelor of the Hanzhang Academy of the Hanlin Academy, and she is a second-rank official, but she is higher than Jia Zheng's Yuanwailang. There are many.

After hearing the girl's report, Baoqin was shocked again.How could she not know that Mrs. Mei Hanlin is her future mother-in-law?It's just that now that Er Yimei's family has mentioned getting married when they are young, and the first time they meet, they live in Jia's family. Even if they get married in the future, they may not have a good impression.Feeling tangled and sad in my heart, I wanted to get up and say goodbye.Before her body moved, Daiyu stretched out a hand to hold her hand, patted the back of her hand lightly and said with a low smile, "Sit well, don't be afraid."
