The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 46
After entering the Rongguo Mansion, Lin Ruhai saw that Jia's Mansion was more luxurious than before and knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so he only sighed secretly in his heart.Daiyu didn't have much impression of Jia's family, she just didn't like the resplendent appearance, but it wasn't her own home and there was nothing to say.After they all took their seats, Lin Ruhai waved someone to present gifts to Mother Jia and everyone in the Jia family.Mother Jia's is naturally the heaviest, and she added three more century-old ginseng, a string of jadeite bracelets, and a black jade Guanyin carved from top-quality jade.Mrs. Wang is the same as Mrs. Xing, [-]% thinner than Jia Mu.Sister Feng's and Li Wan's are also average, and they are [-]% thinner than Mrs. Wang's and Mrs. Xing's, and the other one has two bolts of satin added.It's just that Sister Feng's is a crimson purple one with brocade red and silver patterns, while Li Wan's is an autumn fragrance and an ivory white with dark cloud patterns.Satin is delicate and smooth, and it is the best thing for official use.Each of the girls has a set of head and face jewelry from Diancui Pavilion, Yingchun is a set of emerald orchid ornaments, Tanchun is a set of red agate rose ornaments, and Xichun is a set of white jade plum blossoms.And Qiao'er, born to Sister Feng, also has a pair of gold bracelets and anklets and wish-fulfilling locks.Several brothers Baoyu Jialan and Jiahuan each have a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, but Jiahuan's is slightly thinner than Baoyu Jialan's.

Everyone thanked them one after another. Although Mrs. Wang was a little dissatisfied that she was the same as Mrs. Xing's, and what she gave to Jia Huan was not too different from Baoyu's, and she secretly envied Jiamu's Moyu Guanyin, but she didn't show it.Seeing this, Mother Jia couldn't help sighing secretly that even though Jia Min wasn't around, these favors and gifts were still handled perfectly.

Mother Jia pulled Daiyu to sit beside her, looked at Daiyu's beautiful face lovingly and sighed softly: "Yu'er has become more and more beautiful since birth. She was still a little baby when she left." Mrs. Wang laughed along with her. Said: "It's been ten years, shouldn't the big girl grow up." Jia Mu also nodded and smiled: "Exactly. When Yu'er came here, she was still young, and the girls were also young, but I only saw the big girl And the second girl. Now I can keep company with a few sisters. A few girls haven’t come to see the sisters yet.” Yingchun brought Tanchun Xichun forward, “Sister Lin.” Yingchun met Daiyu. Yu Nu smashed the third elder brother Yingchun was also present.I still remember this bold and cute cousin very clearly.Daiyu also hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Second Sister, Third Sister, Fourth Sister." Sanchun pulled Daiyu to chat and play while Lin Ruhai sat in front of Jiamu and talked with her. happy.

"Second Master Bao is here." The house was peaceful, and the girl outside the door reported.Before the words were finished, a figure in red strode in. Before he arrived, he called out: "Old lady, did you hear that Sister Lin is here?" Jin Yi, with handsome eyebrows like jade, said, "Baoyu, come and meet your uncle and sister." As soon as Baoyu stepped into the hall, he saw Daiyu sitting with Sanchun and couldn't help being stunned.I used to think that the three sisters in my family and sister Yun should be some outstanding ones.Later, when I met Sister Bao, I felt that Sister Bao's national beauty and natural fragrance were the only beauty in the world. Now this new sister's appearance is not as beautiful as Sister Bao's, but her delicate and beautiful face, between the eyebrows The air is clear and dusty, and the whole body is imposing, which makes people feel that it is impeccable and perfect.

When Baoyu came in, Daiyu had already noticed him, but she saw him staring at her motionlessly, and her face sank slightly in displeasure.Lin Ruhai didn't like Baoyu's acting like this, so he glanced at Baoyu lightly and said, "This is Baoyu? I haven't seen him for many years and I have grown up." Jia Mu took Baoyu's expression into her eyes, and there was a flash of satisfaction in her eyes, pretending Angrily said: "Baoyu, I haven't come to see Uncle Lin yet." Baoyu came to his senses, and then went up to pay homage: "Baoyu has seen Uncle." Lin Ruhai nodded and did not speak.Baoyu walked up to Daiyu again and said with a smile, "Sister Lin, you are here." Daiyu frowned and said, "Second cousin is polite."

Baoyu still stared at Daiyu for a long time. Seeing that Daiyu was about to get angry, Xichun also frowned and said, "Second brother, what are you doing here?" Baoyu said, "I have seen Sister Lin." "Baoyu, you have a good memory. I did meet Sister Lin when I was young. Sister Lin probably doesn't remember when she was young." Daiyu frowned and said with a smile, "I really don't remember." Xichun said, "It all happened ten years ago. It’s only natural that I can’t remember. What is the second elder brother doing standing here, he should sit next to Uncle Lin.” The people sitting here are all girls’ homes, although Baoyu has always been used to being with daughters, Xichun’s temperament Qing Liang doesn't like his temperament.Baoyu smiled and said, "I'll just sit here with Sister Lin." Daiyu turned her head and said indifferently, "With three sisters accompanying me, how dare I ask my cousin to accompany me. Besides, it's against the rules."

Baoyu was not angry, but still smiled and said, "We are all one family, so what rules should we have?"

Seeing that she couldn't explain it to him, and couldn't get angry in front of Jiamu, Daiyu got up and walked to Lin Ruhai and sat down.Baoyu saw it and wanted to follow her to sit, but Tanchun pulled her from behind and said in a low voice, "Second elder brother, just sit here. Don't make Uncle Lin angry. Then the master will not spare you."

"Old lady, Mrs. Xue and Miss Bao have come to pay their respects." The maidservants came in to report.Mother Jia was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled and said, "It's all relatives of my own family. You don't need to be polite, just come in quickly." There is only one son and one daughter, the son's name is Xue Pan, and the daughter's boudoir name is Baochai.Xue's family is originally in the south of the Yangtze River, but now because of Baochai's election, he moved to Beijing last year and has been living in Jia's family.Although Mother Jia brought a group of female relatives to welcome Lin Ruhai and Daiyu today, she did not inform Xue's mother and daughter.After all, they are not from their own family, and there is no reason for them to go out to welcome guests.

After a while, Aunt Xue came in with a girl.But I saw that the girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, her face was like a silver basin, her eyes were like water almonds, and her snow-skinned face was beautiful.Wearing a half-worn white butterfly dress, a scallion yellow pleated skirt, a simple bun, a phoenix hairpin with pearls and cloisonné enamel tassels on her head, and a glittering jewel and gold glittering hairpin hanging around her neck. wreath necklace.The dress is not eye-catching, but the appearance and demeanor are even better than the serious girls of Jia's family.

"The old lady is well."
