"You have taken off your clothes before seeing the outsiders, and you are not going to see your sister."
Jia Mu's doting voice interrupted Lin Daiyu's meditation. When she looked up, she saw Jia Baoyu had come to her.
"I have seen this sister before."
Who would have thought that when Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu, he was like a goose, and said foolishly.
All the girls in the house didn't care about his"crazy words".
Only Lin Daiyu frowned slightly. In the water town of Jiangnan, etiquette and education are the most important. Which girl could listen to such frivolous words? If it weren't for this grandparents' house, Lin Daiyu would have been unable to sit still.
"But that's nonsense. How could you have ever seen her?"
On the couch, Jia Mu found it interesting and said with amusement
""Haha!"
The others looked like they were watching a show.
"Although I have never seen her, I think she looks kind to me. Even if we are old acquaintances, today is just a reunion after a long separation."
"It is not impossible."
Jia Baoyu still looked at Lin Daiyu, never leaving her sight.
It was precisely this action that made Lin Daiyu even more unhappy. Compared with Jia Xuan, Jia Baoyu, the second son of Rongguo Mansion, was simply incomprehensible.
"Better and better!"
"If so, there will be more harmony."
Hearing this, Jia's mother was very satisfied.
""Haha!"
The girls were delighted to see this. They must have gotten used to Jia Baoyu's absurd behavior.
"Has your sister ever been to school?"
"I have never read it. I only went to school for one year and can recognize a few words.
Lin Daiyu obviously did not have much patience for Jia Baoyu and replied perfunctorily:
"What are your sister's honorific names?"
Jia Baoyu became interested and asked again.
"Daiyu."
Lin Daiyu was already somewhat unhappy.
How could a girl's maiden name be known to other men?
"Oh, then what is your courtesy name?"
Jia Baoyu became more and more excited, not paying any attention to Lin Daiyu's expression.
"No words."
When he returned, Lin Daiyu's face showed no trace of kindness, and she was so cold and indifferent.
"I'll give my sister a wonderful word...."
"Bastard!"
Before Jia Baoyu could finish, a loud shout came from outside Rongqing Hall, causing all the girls to suddenly change their expressions.
"Step..."
With the sound of dull footsteps, the bead curtain blocking the door was lifted to both sides. Two figures wearing black tights and swords on their waists stopped the maids and servants. What came into everyone's sight was a tall figure, with a jade crown tied up his hair, a dark gold-rimmed brocade robe, and a dragon-like and tiger-like gait.
"Brother."
Seeing the person coming, Xichun got down from the low stool, kicked her short legs, and rushed over happily.
""Hey!!"
Jia Xuan grabbed her with both hands and held her in his arms. Her soft body was lifted up by one arm, and Xichun giggled.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the hall was a little surprised. They never thought that Xichun, who was always cold and aloof, would have such a childish side.
Wang Xifeng, who was always good at dealing with people, seemed to have thought of something and blurted out:"But is it Xuan'er from the East Palace?"
Click!
Everyone present was shocked.
Everyone thought of the miserable pleading of Zhou Rui's wife before, and the words she said.
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but stop twisting the rosary in her hand, and her peaceful face became a little gloomy.
""Sister, please sit aside for a while. I will play with you later!"
After patting Xichun's little head, Jia Xuan put her on the ground.
""Yes, yes."
Xichun knew that Jia Xuan must have something to do here today, so she sat back on the stool obediently, holding her chin with both hands, and her eyes never left her brother.
"Hello, old lady."
Looking around at everyone, Jia Xuan said calmly,"I have been back home for many days. This is my first time visiting the West Mansion. I came here for my sister."
"But I didn't expect to see a shocking scene in front of the West Palace Gate. After entering the inner hall, I realized that the scene in front of the gate was just a piece of cake."
"Today, I came at the right time." As soon as these words fell, everyone in the room was shocked.
Everyone understood the meaning of these words.
Jia's mother on the couch could not sit still any longer, she stood up, her cloudy old eyes gleaming with light:"What do you mean by this, Xuan'er?"
"Both the East and West Mansions are from the Jia family, and are of the same bloodline. Could it be that an old woman like me has been in a daze for so many years that I am not worthy of being called an ancestor?"
"Let Xuan-ge speak nonsense here and slander the friendship between the two governments."
""Pa! Pa! Pa!"
Jia Xuan clapped his hands, and the crisp applause resounded throughout the Rongqing Hall.
All the beautiful girls held their breath, even Wang Xifeng did not dare to breathe.
Who was Jia's mother? She was the legitimate daughter of the first Marquis of Dajing Baoling and Shangshu Ling Shi Gong, and the legitimate wife of the second Duke of Rong Jia Daishan. Everyone in the country called her the old lady, and even the emperor had to treat her with courtesy. Her words were undoubtedly accusing Jia Xuan of being rude. In a world of etiquette and patriarchal law, what a serious crime!
"It is often said that the most favored person in Rongguo Mansion is the son born with jade."
"When I saw her today, it was true. No matter what I said, the old lady was already like this."
"If his life is taken, will the whole Rongguo Mansion be in danger?"
Glancing at Lady Jia, Jia Xuan sneered.
""Hiss!!!"
Everyone gasped.
This was a blatant threat to Jia Baoyu's life, which was the lifeblood of Jia's mother.
""Xuan'er!"
On the couch, Jia's mother could no longer bear it and said in a stern voice.
"Old lady, don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Jia Xuan smiled slightly, not taking Grandmother Jia seriously at all, and continued:"The Book of Rites: The Rules for Domestic Affairs: At fifteen years old, a woman should wear a hairpin, and at twenty years old, a woman should marry."
"Why?"
"this...."
Except for Jia Mu, Lady Xing, and Lady Wang, all the other female members of the family were confused.
Wang Xifeng had never liked to learn to read, so she naturally didn't know the"Book of Rites: Internal Regulations", let alone talk about it.
But Jia Mu, Lady Xing, and Lady Wang's faces changed. They had guessed the true meaning of Jia Xuan's words, and they couldn't help but sweat on their foreheads.
"When a girl is betrothed, she is given a name and a hairpin.���Marry at the age of twenty"
"Either the elders in the family or the husband gave me a name."
Lin Daiyu stood up without knowing when, and a voice like the song of a yellow oriole rang out in Rongqing Hall.
""Huh!!!"
The girls were stunned. No one could have imagined that Lin Daiyu was familiar with the Book of Rites. This was what she meant by"having read for a year and knowing a few words".’
"It's just a play between children."
"Miss Lin is a little too serious."
Mrs. Wang said calmly while twisting her rosary beads.
However, the coldness in her eyes had already been seen by Wang Xifeng, who was beside her, and she was secretly alert. The girls in the hall couldn't help but pay attention to Lin Daiyu. Mrs. Wang was the second most important woman in Rongguo Mansion after Lady Jia. She was in charge of the affairs of the inner court. Who wouldn't be in awe of her? She was very careful in her words and deeds!
"The Lin family of Gusu, whose ancestors were the founding heroes of Dajing, were marquises."
"My father was a second-rank official of Lantai Temple and the Imperial Censor of Yangzhou Salt Inspection appointed by the Emperor himself."
"The Wang family, inheriting the title of Grand Commander of the Capital, County Earl Wang Gong, and the Governor of the Capital Camp, are of the second rank."
Lin Daiyu said loudly with a firm look in her eyes without any fear.
Boom!
These words were like a depth charge, blowing up the entire Rongqing Hall.
Mrs. Wang's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and the rosary in her hand had scattered and fell to the ground, turning"gurgling".
Wang Xifeng's face was also not good, because Lin Daiyu did not answer Mrs. Wang's words openly, but secretly mentioned that her family's status was far better than the Wang family. In this hall, only Lady Jia could suppress the legitimate daughter of the Lin family, and no one else could reach her.
‘"That's right!"
Jia Xuan's eyes flashed with admiration.
Ordinary people only think that the willows are weak and swaying in the wind, but they don't know that the strong winds are like strong grasses, and only the willows are still there.
If the Jia family hadn't bullied Lin Daiyu because she was young and ignorant, and then she lost her orphan, how could Lin Daiyu end up so miserable! Lin Daiyu in the Dream of Red Mansions has never been a weak and incompetent person. She is actually very smart, well-read, knowledgeable, talented, and aloof, indifferent, self-respecting, and self-loving. Now she is the most real appearance
""Hmm?"
Lin Daiyu seemed to have noticed something. She turned around and saw her graceful and charming body falling on Jia Xuan. The two looked at each other in silence.
Xichun, who was sitting on a low stool, saw this moment. Her delicate and beautiful face was full of thought.
