Comprehensive film and television: Female supporting role counterattack plan
Chapter 257: Red Mansion, Sister Lin
"Nanny, Xueyan, let's go back to the Lin Mansion. Anyway, someone has been taking care of the repairs to the Lin Mansion's mansion in Kyoto over the years. I'll go to pay my respects to my grandmother after I've had a good rest." A childish but firm voice was heard by everyone as Zimu got out of the sedan chair.
The voice was clear and sweet, as beautiful as a silver bell, yet it also carried a kind of decisiveness that left no room for doubt.
The crowd watching the fun then discovered that it was a fairy doll with an aura of charm.
Zi Mu was wearing a light blue dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, making her look like a fairy child descending to the mortal world from the seat of a god. Her face was delicate and her eyes were clear and bright.
That little figure exudes a unique temperament that makes people love it involuntarily.
The surrounding areas were inhabited by nobles and ministers, so naturally there were many people watching the fun.
They were whispering to each other, talking about the little girl who suddenly appeared.
The girl from the Lin family was treated harshly and was not even allowed to enter her grandmother's house. Instead, she went straight back to the Lin family's house in Kyoto. The news spread instantly to several surrounding families.
People were surprised and dissatisfied with the actions of the Rongguo Mansion, but they also admired the girl's courage and determination.
There was also a good thing. The next day, at the morning court, she submitted a memorial to the emperor about yesterday's Rongguo Mansion, and praised Zimu, who was only six years old, like a flower.
They described Zimu's cuteness, intelligence and bravery, making the emperor curious about what kind of girl Lin Ruhai's only daughter was.
After all, Lin Ruhai was originally a top scholar, and was chosen by the emperor as the third scholar because of his appearance. His ability and family background were beyond doubt.
In the Suzhou area, the Lin family was the most scholarly family. Although they lost their title by the time of Lin Ruhai's generation, Lin Ruhai entered the official career through the imperial examination and was deeply trusted by the emperor.
Therefore, the emperor, whose interest was aroused, planned to issue an imperial decree to let Lin Aiqing meet his only beloved daughter.
This decision caused quite a stir in the capital, and everyone was curious about this young lady from the Lin family.
The next day, when Zimu came to pay his respects after a good rest, the Rongguo Mansion had learned its lesson this time. The main gate was wide open and the whole family was waiting to greet him at the door.
After all, it is true that the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion is one of the four major families, but in the final analysis they can only be regarded as new elites, and cannot be compared with the Lin family, a family of scholars with four generations of status.
Not to mention that although Rongguo Mansion and the other two marriages have some power in the court, they do not have any important officials.
I thought the six-year-old girl was easy to deal with, but I didn't expect her to not even enter the door yesterday.
This made the Jia family, who had always been arrogant, lose face, but they were helpless.
Zi Mu's overall aura is intimidating.
Even the Taoist priest who came rushing over took a look and left without saying a word.
The appearance of Zimu seemed to have brought an invisible pressure to the Rongguo Mansion, forcing them to re-examine this little girl.
"Miss, you have such a bad temper. Why did you leave so soon yesterday?" Mrs. Wang spoke first, but Zimu heard the slight dissatisfaction in her tone.
"Yes, the servants are ignorant and have been punished by the old lady. Don't think too much about it, young lady." The people around quickly echoed, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Although Zimu is still young, one can already glimpse his future beauty from his eyes and eyebrows.
Her beauty reminded Grandmother Jia of her recently deceased daughter, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.
So after looking at her son with dissatisfaction, Grandmother Jia said to Zimu, "Yu'er, come here and let your grandmother take a look."
Zi Mu raised his lips slightly and bowed to Grandmother Jia, saying, "Yu'er greets Grandmother."
Then he turned to the others and said, "Meet my three uncles."
Her voice is clear and pleasant, and her manners are graceful and appropriate.
Although he was young, he had perfect etiquette and no one in the Jia family could find fault with him.
Soon the emperor's edict was delivered to Rongguo Mansion.
After receiving the imperial edict, Zimu gave the wet nurse a look, and the wet nurse stepped forward and stuffed a few silver bills into the eunuch who delivered the eunuch.
This reaction and coping ability stunned even everyone in the Jia family.
They didn't expect that this little girl was so smart and sensible, and so knowledgeable about the ways of the world.
When it was almost time for dinner, Jia Baoyu insisted on joining his grandmother and the others, but Zimu dismissed him with a sentence, "Boys and girls under seven years old should not sit at the same table and eat together."
This sentence is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
This was the first time that Jia Baoyu, who had grown up surrounded by women, was rejected like this, and by a pretty little sister at that, so he immediately started making a fuss.
There was an expression of dissatisfaction on his face, as if he had suffered great injustice.
However, Zimu did not back down, her eyes were firm and confident.
"When mother was alive, she once said that my cousin Dayuer was one year old. Now he is seven years old, but he has not yet received enlightenment?"
Zi Mu's words were sharp and direct, leaving everyone in the Jia family speechless.
Because what Zimu said was absolutely correct, but it sounded like he was saying that the Rongguo Mansion doted on the young master and that was why he had no knowledge of etiquette.
Jia Baoyu never expected that the beautiful sister in front of him would actually laugh at him, but he couldn't refute it because the teacher had said so.
However, Jia Baoyu, who had never listened to his teacher's complicated etiquette, now blushed and was at a loss.
My heart was filled with shame and embarrassment, as if someone had lifted a fig leaf from my body.
“Yu’er, your brother is just seven years old, and you are only six. This is your first time at Rongguo Mansion, so it’s okay to have a meal together.”
Grandmother Jia tried to ease the awkward atmosphere, her words were full of love and tolerance, but Zimu knew that this was not directed at him.
"Grandma is right. Yu'er was not thoughtful enough."
Zimu lowered his head slightly, but there was no trace of apology in his tone and expression.
The discussions around her speaking for Jia Baoyu did not make Zimu panic at all. She remained calm and composed.
Amid the complex gazes of everyone in Rongguo Mansion, she stood quietly like a lotus blooming in the hustle and bustle, noble and elegant.
When Grandmother Jia looked at Zimu, she felt both longing for her daughter and curiosity about her granddaughter.
She tried to find some familiar shadows on Zimu's face, but found that there was a maturity and determination in Zimu's eyes that transcended his age.
Mrs. Wang’s dissatisfaction seemed powerless in the face of Zimu’s calmness. She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.
The others were also silent, as if they were intimidated by Zimu's aura.
At this time, Jia Baoyu was standing aside, the grievance on his face had not yet disappeared.
He looked at Zimu secretly, his heart full of confusion. He didn't understand why this beautiful sister was different from the girls in his family?
Although her words were sharp, he was unable to refute them. No one in his family ever spoke to him like that.
After dinner, Zimu had his own etiquette. Compared with the ones in Rongguo Mansion, both Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang felt that the rules of their own Rongguo Mansion seemed like those of a merchant family that had suddenly made a fortune in front of Zimu.
After dinner, Zi Mu said goodbye to Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang. Lady Jia and the others were unable to try to persuade him to stay and could only sigh as they watched Zi Mu and his two servants leave.
I always feel that some things seem to have invisibly changed their original trajectory, making everyone feel a little uneasy.
