Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 97

Just as Daiyu was about to pay her respects, the silver-haired old lady stood up, grabbed Daiyu's hand, looked her up and down tremblingly, and suddenly hugged Daiyu into her arms, a burst of darling She cried out, crying heart-piercingly.It actually made Daiyu's eyes red.

The maids and Mrs. Wang, who had served Mrs. Jia for many years, all lowered their heads, wiped their tears, and wept with their faces covered.Seeing this situation, Wang Xifeng rushed forward to comfort her, and it took a while for old lady Jia to stop her tears.

Mother Jia let go of Daiyu's arm, and Daiyu was able to salute and say hello to her.

After the ceremony, Mother Jia pointed to Daiyu with red eyes and said to everyone, "This is my granddaughter." The maids squatted down to salute Daiyu, and the two wives of King Xing also nodded to Daiyu.

Jia Mufu pointed to a woman wearing a tea-color pleated skirt wearing a wide-sleeved pannier embroidered with maroon and black tangerine borders, embroidered with the Chinese character Ruyi hibiscus, and said: "This is your eldest aunt."

Daiyu looked up, Madam Xing was combing a cloud bun, on which was a red gold dotted emerald phoenix hairpin, and a dark gold beaded forehead was tied on her forehead, looking at herself kindly.

Daiyu squatted down to Mrs. Xing and shouted crisply: "I have met my aunt, and my aunt is well." After speaking, she raised her head and smiled slightly.

Then Jia Mu pointed to Mrs. Xing, who was wearing a sapphire blue stand-up collar peony tunic shirt, a sapphire silk butterfly hairpin on her head, and a delicate sapphire silk hibiscus flower inserted on the left and right sides, and said: "This is your second aunt." Daiyu knelt down and saluted as before.

Then Jia Mu laughed and said, "This is the daughter-in-law of your eldest brother Zhu, sister-in-law Zhu. You even gave her a gift." After she finished speaking, Wang Xifeng said, "I won't introduce you to this rogue who has settled down. You have no choice but to Just get along with each other."

When Li Wan heard Jiamu introduce herself, she quickly smiled at Daiyu, and when she heard Jiamu talk about Daiyu giving him a gift, she was a little embarrassed and moved.

But Wang Xifeng smiled and said to Jiamu: "The old ancestor is so unreasonable. He didn't have to slander me in front of my sister. If we are called sisters, I will not obey." After speaking, he said to Daiyu: "In the future If there is anything wrong, just tell me, those maids are not good, you tell me too, and see how I can vent my anger on you."

Wang Xifeng's words made Daiyu think of the original book again, and she couldn't help laughing: "I'm fine, why did the servant girl provoke me? Could it be that I've become that annoying person?"

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she said to Jia Mu: "Look at the old ancestor, don't talk about the whole body, just this mouth, it is not like the granddaughter of the old ancestor, it is clearly the granddaughter of the old ancestor! I can't blame the old ancestor. I will never forget it verbally or in my heart all day long.”

Mother Jia was very happy when she heard this. She laughed so hard that she couldn't see her eyebrows. She joked a few more words before she took Daiyu's hand and walked into the house.The maids even scrambled to open the embroidered curtain first.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a four-leaf beauty screen, bypassing the beauty screen, a rosewood arhat bed was placed on the top, eight nanmu chairs were placed on the left and right, and brocade curtains were hung layer by layer, which was really extravagant.

Old Mrs. Jia was walking towards the Luohan bed, pulling Daiyu and asking, "Have you brought all the salutes here? How many people have you brought?" Daiyu didn't have time to answer, and Old Mrs. Jia said to Mrs. Wang, "Hurry up and clean up early. Let them rest in two servant rooms."

Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to answer, Daiyu quickly took Jia Mu's arm and said, "Where did you bring something to salute? It's just a little gift for the elders and sisters, and I have to go back for a while. Today is considered to be a recognition." Know the door, next time you won’t lose your way.”

When Mrs. Jia heard Daiyu say that she would go back for a while, she felt unhappy, so she said with a straight face, "I took you to Beijing, but you don't live at home anymore?" It's just that the mansion hasn't been tidied up yet, and the things my father told me haven't been done, so I'll move here in two days."

Hearing Daiyu say that Lin Ruhai had explained her affairs, she couldn't help asking: "Don't lie to me, what can your father arrange for you? Tell grandma to give you an idea."

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng who had just followed in smiled and said: "The old ancestor listened to her nonsense! Uncle just told her to study hard with Mr. Huang, so don't miss her homework. Mr. Huang has something to say and can't go back together, and even wrote a letter from the family. She personally handed it to Mr. Huang's brother, no, my sister rushed to Mr. Huang's house, and begged the master to hand over the greeting card."

When Jia's mother heard that there was such a thing, she couldn't help asking: "What does your master say?" Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "My master went out before I and I after breakfast. I don't know what's going on now. My sister always goes back earlier and waits." That's right, it's her master's arrangement after all."

So Jia Mu nodded and said, "Go! I have invited the girls. Today is the arrival of the distant guest, so there is no need to go to school." Everyone responded and went to the two maidservants.After the old lady Jia finished speaking, she pulled Daiyu to sit next to her on the Arhat bed.

As soon as she sat down, the tea and fruit were put on the table, and Jia Mu took Daiyu to ask some homework. After a while, she saw three nurses and seven or eight maidservants, surrounded by five sisters.

The first one has slightly plump skin, a medium-sized figure, fresh pear cheeks, greasy goose fat nose, gentle and silent, and is amiable to look at.Seeing that Mrs. Xing looked at her very kindly, Daiyu guessed that it was Yingchun.

The second one has slender shoulders and slender waist, a tall figure, a duck-egg face, handsome eyes and eyebrows, a fast-paced look, the essence of literary beauty, forgetting the vulgarity when you see it.The third one was described as still young, looking like he was no more than six or seven years old.Presumably it must be Tanchun and Xichun.

The hairpin rings of the three people are all the same, one crested hairpin and two small pearl flowers.But Yingchun is wearing a water-red silk tapestry shirt with a collar and side breasts, and a skirt of water clouds and moonlight.A sapphire blue palace sash is tied around the waist, and white jade double fish pelts are pressed at the corner of the skirt.And Tanchun and Xichun both have the same clothes.

The two that followed, one was thin and plain white, dressed in azure brocade with rusty magnolia branches, fresh and elegant, and matched with a moon-white gauze skirt to add a bit of elegance.Who is this person not Xing Xiuyan?Seeing Daiyu here, although it's too late to talk, eyes are full of joy.

The other has a wide-sleeved beige in a honey-colored color and an autumn-scented skirt. As the original book says, they are all of the same color and not old. More dignified and elegant.

Without any further introduction from Jia's mother, Daiyu hurriedly got up to greet each other, recognized each other, and everyone returned to their seats.

She was looking at everyone, and everyone was naturally looking at her too. I saw that Daiyu was wearing a white jade-dotted emerald hibiscus hairpin today, three coiled silk butterflies were inserted diagonally into her hair, she was wearing a light yellow gauze gown, and a pair of light green cloud silk mopping the floor. skirt.A red gold jadeite bead chain is loosely tied around the waist, and one end hangs down on the skirt, with a drop-shaped jadeite full of water.Simple but not simple.

After everyone was seated, Daiyu asked Wang Xifeng, "I don't know where all the things I brought have been transported? Since my sisters and sisters are here, I will take them out." Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Don't tell me I forgot." Then he ordered someone to move it.

After a while, Jin'er walked in holding a red lacquered plum blossom plate with Wanfuxiang cloud pattern.Behind him, Nanny Sun and Nanny Chen each supported a big box.Followed by five or six boxes of different sizes came in.For a while, Jiamu's upper room was piled up so that it couldn't get through.

Nanny Yang took the tray from Jin'er with her own hands and handed it to Daiyu. Daiyu lifted the red silk on it and smiled at Mother Jia: "This is the white jade Guanyin that my father specially asked for for my grandmother. The eminent monk blessed it for ninety-nine and eighty-one days."

I saw that this Guanyin statue was one foot and two feet high, and it was carved from a whole block of suet white jade, which is delicate and soft.Guanyin steps on auspicious clouds and holds a jade bottle. The most rare thing is that the natural green texture is carved into willow branches.The old lady Jia was also very happy when she saw her, and secretly thought that her son-in-law Lin Ruhai still remembered me as an old lady.

Then Nanny Sun opened a big box, took out a goose-egg-shaped object, which was also wrapped in red silk, and brought it to Daiyu, who smiled and said, "This is for Yu'er to honor her grandmother. I don't know where the master got it, but Yu'er saw it and thought about sending it to my grandmother."

Speaking of which, Daiyu got up and opened the red silk on the outside, revealing the white crystal at one end inside. When Mrs. Wang saw the white crystal, she couldn't help but scoffed in her heart: She really has never seen such a good thing.With the opening of the red silk, algae, clouds, cotton wool and other objects appear in the white crystal, and form a pine tree.

Daiyu said with a smile: "The master said it was called a green ghost, and Yu'er didn't understand it. She just thought this pine tree was auspicious, so she asked for it to give to my grandmother. Grandmother must not laugh at Yu'er's lack of experience in the world."

Not to mention the two wives of King Xing, even Jia Mu has never seen a green ghost of this size. What's more rare is that pine trees symbolize longevity, and even Lin Ruhai's Avalokitesvara just now can't compare.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel that Daiyu slapped her face hard. Just now she was thinking that this is a girl who has never seen the world, but she didn't want to show such a good thing in a blink of an eye.

Jia's mother even smiled and said with crooked eyebrows: "I said that I, Yu'er, is a filial child, even more filial than your brothers and sisters. It's not in vain that I loved your mother all those years." Speaking of Jia Min, Jia The old lady was still very sad, and couldn't help but look at the green ghost in front of her with red eyes.

Daiyu hurriedly said: "I wanted to make my grandmother happy, but I didn't expect to make my grandmother so sad. Isn't it Yuer's fault?" Old lady Jia said more sadly: "My children, those who love me Only your mother left me today, and she couldn't even see her face, how can I not be sad?" After hearing this, Daiyu also thought of Jia Min and became sad.

Everyone was busy reassuring and persuading them, and it took a while for the two to get better.One of them said: "If my wife knows how sad the old lady is, I don't know how sad it is." Jia Mu looked intently, feeling that the person in front of her was very familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.She couldn't help frowning and looked at Daiyu.
