Cen Mingche turned the Jiangnan area upside down from north to south.

On the other side, the boat carrying Lin Daiyu also arrived in the capital.

Along the way, Lin Daiyu fell ill several times, which inevitably delayed the trip.

Therefore, when we arrived in the capital, it was already March.

After all, the capital is located in the north. Even if spring has begun, it will be colder and drier than spring in the south.Therefore, Lin Daiyu inevitably coughed.

Rong Guofu can also be regarded as the home of bells and dishes, and its rules and styles are indescribable.

Lin Daiyu should have felt uneasy, but she couldn't help but think of His Highness the Third Prince she saw on the ship.

A person like His Highness is infinitely more noble than the Rong Mansion, but he still treats her with ease and gentleness.Besides, His Highness the Third Highness also said that the rules in Ning Rong's second mansion were quite chaotic, and he wanted her to be careful?

Therefore, Daiyu became more cautious in her words and deeds, and relied more on her wet nurse and the maid Xueyan she brought with her.I didn't think of Rongguo Mansion as a higher priority in my heart.

Abandoning the boat and landing, Daiyu got on the sedan chair. When she entered the city, she looked out through the screen window and saw that the bustling streets and the crowds of people were different from other places.

When they arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, they changed into a small sedan again, and all the ladies stepped down to follow them, and landed in front of a hanging flower door.The boys left, and the women came up to open the sedan curtain and helped Daiyu get out of the sedan.

After passing the hanging flower door, bypassing the floor-to-ceiling marble screen, there are three small halls, and behind the hall is the main courtyard at the back.

In the five upper rooms in the front, on the platform, there were several maids in red and green sitting. When they saw them coming, they all rushed to greet them with smiles and said: "The old lady was reading just now, but by chance they came." .”

So three or four people scrambled to open the curtain cage, while someone heard someone reply: "Miss Lin is here!"

When Daiyu entered the room, she saw two people holding an old lady with silver-colored hair coming towards her. Daiyu knew it was her grandmother.

When Fang wanted to pay her respects, her grandmother had already hugged her into her arms, and she started to cry loudly, calling her "heart and soul".

Everyone standing underground covered their faces and wept. Daiyu was so moved that she couldn't stop crying.

For a while, everyone slowly calmed down, and Dai Yufang paid a visit to her grandmother.

At that moment, Jia Mu pointed everyone in the hall to Daiyu one by one: "This is your eldest aunt; this is your second aunt; this is Sister-in-law Zhu, the daughter-in-law of your elder brother Xianzhu."

Daiyu visited them one by one.

Jia Mu then said, "Please come, girls. The guests from far away are here today, so you don't have to go to school."

Everyone agreed and went to two.

After a while, I saw three nannies and five or six maids, surrounding the three sisters.

They are three: welcoming spring, exploring spring, and appreciating spring.Their hairpin rings, skirts and coats are all the same decoration.

Daiyu hurriedly stood up and came to greet them. After acknowledging each other, everyone returned to sit down.

The maids poured tea.During the conversation, they just talked about how Daiyu's mother got sick, how she sought medical treatment and took medicine, and how she died and mourned.

Unavoidably, Jia's mother became sad again, because she said: "My children, the only one who loves me is your mother. If you leave me today, I will never be able to see you again. How can I not be sad when I see you now?"

As he said this, he hugged Daiyu and started sobbing again.Everyone was busy explaining with relief, and Fang Luo stopped.

We chatted for a while, just asking Daiyu how she was and what medicine she was taking.

Before he could finish his words, he heard someone laughing in the backyard and saying, "I came late and didn't greet the guests from afar!"

Daiyu wondered in her heart: "All of these people are holding their voices and holding their breath, so solemn and solemn. Who is this person, so rude and disrespectful?"

While I was thinking about it, I saw a group of wives and maids surrounding a person, coming in from the back door.

This person is dressed differently from the other sisters, with brilliant embroidery and looks like a concubine or a fairy.

It was Wang Xifeng.

When Daiyu saw it, her heart skipped a beat.

You must know that Daiyu's mother was a girl from the Jia family. Even if she died, the younger generation of the Jia family would still have to mourn for as little as three months or as much as a year.Not to mention wearing linen and mourning, you should also wear some plain clothes.

But the person wearing red and green obviously didn't take it seriously.

Not only did he not take Jia Min seriously, he also didn't take Daiyu seriously.

Both sides have met.Wang Xifeng held Daiyu's hand, smiled warmly, and looked kind. However, Daiyu had a knot in her heart, and her expression was always indifferent, and she couldn't get close to her.

After a while, Jia's mother ordered two old ladies to take Daiyu to meet her two maternal uncles.

Jia She made excuses for not seeing her, so Daiyu went to see Jia Zheng.

When they arrived at Rongxi Hall, the old woman led Daiyu to the three small main rooms in the east corridor.

There is a Kang table across the Kang table in front, with books and tea sets on it. Against the east wall facing the West, there are half-worn blue satin back pillows.Mrs. Wang was sitting at the lower end of the west side, also on a half-worn green satin mattress with backrest.

Mrs. Wang was very kind and asked Daiyu to sit next to her, giving her earnest instructions.

"Your uncle is fasting today. Goodbye. I just want to tell you: your three sisters are all very good. From now on, I will give in to reading, learning needlework, or even the occasional joke."

"But the thing I'm worried about most is that I have a troublemaker, the 'Devil King' in my family. He went to the temple today to fulfill his vows and hasn't come back yet. You will know when you see him in the evening. You just don't need to pay attention to him in the future. You None of these sisters dare to mess with him."

Daiyu then knew that Mrs. Wang was talking about Baoyu. Her mother had also told her about this man when he was a child. He was born with a jade in his mouth. He was very naughty and hated reading. He liked to hang out in the closet. His grandmother was very doting and had no one. Dare to take care.

"Auntie is talking about this brother who was born by Xianyu? When I was at home, I heard my mother often say that this brother is one year older than me, and his nickname is Baoyu. Although he is very naive, he is said to be extremely affectionate in the relationship between sisters. Okay. Besides, since I’m here, I’ll naturally only stay with my sisters. The brothers are from another house in another house, so why should I mess with them!”

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "You don't know why: he is different from others. He was loved by the old lady since he was a child, and he was spoiled by the sisters... He talks sweetly at one moment, and is crazy at the other. Crazy, stupid, don't trust him!"

Daiyu agreed one by one, feeling sad.

After all, it’s not our home anymore.

I saw a maid coming back: "The old lady has sent dinner!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly took Daiyu there.

Most of the dishes on the table are from the capital city, and most of them are soft and rotten in consideration of Jia Mu.Daiyu had a bumpy ride, felt unwell, and had a slight cough. Naturally, she had no appetite, but she moved her chopsticks a few times and that was all.

After the meal, each maid brought tea on a small tea tray.That day, Lin Ruhai taught her daughter to cherish blessings and maintain her health. She said that she should wait until the rice is gone after a meal and drink tea after a while, so as not to hurt the spleen and stomach.

But now that Daiyu saw that many things here were not in line with her family style, she had to adapt and change them one by one.

Jia Mu asked Daiyu what book she was reading.Daiyu said: "I just read the Four Books."

Daiyu asked her sisters what books they should read.Jia Mu said: "What kind of book are you reading? I just recognize two words, not a blind man who opens his eyes!"

Just as he was talking, he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and the maid came in and said with a smile: "Baoyu is here!"
