Violation of the Red Chamber and Daiyu

After Daiyu and the others got off the boat and went ashore, they found that there were only two well-dressed women and a few servant girls carrying a sedan chair, and two carriages were waiting on the shore.Seeing Daiyu and the others approaching the shore, she hurried forward and said, "But Cousin, we are from the Jia family, and we are here to pick you up." After hearing this, Zhang Nanny stepped forward and said, "We are from the Lin family." , but you see there are two boats behind, and this vehicle is not enough." The servants of Jia's mansion also felt blushed when they saw it, and thought that Miss Lin was here to visit relatives and fight the autumn wind, but judging by her posture, it was clear It has some financial resources.How can this be done? "Why don't we pick up the cousin girl first and send a car to pick up the things?" Lin An, the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, since I received the news that the girl is going to Beijing, I have been waiting at the pier every day. The girl is counted, and our Lin Mansion has prepared enough vehicles to go to the Jia Mansion together." Everyone in the Jia Mansion was busy. Said: "That's what makes me trouble you." "It's our duty to send our girl to her natal home." After speaking, everyone led Daiyu into the sedan chair, and the rest went to unload the boat and load the car. After working for more than half an hour, I was able to set off.

Not long after entering the city, Daiyu took a look out through the screen window. The street was really narrow at that time, but there were many shops of various colors on both sides of the road, and the street was bustling with people and cars, not like modern So hustle and bustle.After walking for half a day, I suddenly saw two big stone lions squatting on the north side of the street, three gates with animal heads, and a dozen or so people in beautiful clothes sitting in front of the gates.The main door is not open, only the east and west corners are used for people to come in and out.There is a plaque above the main entrance, which reads "Decree to build Ningguo Mansion".Daiyu thought: This is Ningguo Mansion.Thinking about it, he went west again, not too far away, there were still three gates, and the plaque on the main gate read "Chizao Rongguo Mansion". "It's finally here," Daiyu thought to herself.It's just that the main door didn't open, and the sedan chair was carried into the mansion through the west door.Thinking about it, the fast-legged boy ran back just now and talked about the wharf, so Daiyu didn't let Daiyu go through the corner door like the original book.Sure enough, the power of money is still great.The bearer carried it in and walked about 150 meters. When he turned the corner, he stopped and withdrew.The women behind have all got out of the car and rushed forward.Another three or four well-dressed boys of seventeen or eighteen came up and lifted the sedan chair again.All the women stepped down to the gate of a pendant flower.All the boys withdrew, and a woman came up and raised the curtain of the sedan chair to help Daiyu get off the sedan chair.Lin Daiyu supported Nanny Zhang's hand, and entered the hanging flower door. On both sides were Chaoshou verandahs, and in the middle was a hallway. There was a large marble screen with red sandalwood shelves.Turning around the screen, there are three small halls, and behind the halls is the main courtyard behind.There are five upper rooms on the front, all with carved beams and painted buildings. On both sides, there are corridors and rooms on the side of the mountain, with parrots, thrushes and other birds hanging in various colors.On the platform, there were a few girls in red and green sitting. When they saw them coming, they hurriedly came up to them with smiles and said, "The old lady was still reading just now, but she happened to be here." With the curtains closed, one of them shouted inside, "Miss Lin is here." Daiyu has been here for a few days now, and she is used to Lin's way of doing things. Then he felt a little unruly, and he really couldn't compare with Lin Fu.Looking sideways at Nanny Zhang again, I saw her frowning. "Hehe, I'm not the most uncomfortable." Daiyu was happy in her heart.

As soon as Daiyu stepped into the room, she saw two maids helping an old lady with gray hair. "This is Mother Jia, come on, let's salute." As soon as she was about to salute, she was hugged by Mother Jia, who burst into tears as she hugged her. "This old lady has so much strength, I can hardly breathe." Daiyu was thinking, and while she glanced around, she saw two middle-aged women and a young woman Wiping tears with a handkerchief, this is Xing, Mrs. Wang and Li Wan.I don't know whether it's real crying or fake crying, so I haven't come to persuade you yet. "Come on, I'd better save myself." Daiyu suffocated her eyes, thanking this body, it was so easy to cry, if it was the one in her previous life, her eyes would not be red even if she suffocated to death!While saying to Jia Mu: "Grandmother, don't be sad. If grandma is too sad, then Yu'er is very unfilial." When Jia Mu heard this, she let go of Daiyu and said, "My Yu'er is really filial." Just listen to Yu'er, don't cry." Everyone held back their tears for a while.Daiyu bowed to Jia Mu again, and Jia Mu pointed to the woman sitting on the left who was wearing a dark red dress with a slightly mean face and said, "This is your eldest aunt." She then pointed to the woman sitting on the right. The kind-faced woman in dark yellow clothes said: "This is your second aunt." Finally, pointing to the young woman in blue and white clothes standing next to Jia Mu, she said: "This is the daughter-in-law of your eldest brother Xian Zhu. Sister-in-law." Daiyu saluted one by one.Mother Jia asked Daiyu to be lifted up, and she took Daiyu to sit with her on the upper couch.Jia Mu said to the maid again: "Go and invite the girls. The guests from far away have arrived today, so they don't have to go to school." Everyone agreed, and two maids turned around and went out.Daiyu sat up a little bit, but was really looking forward to seeing the Sanchun sisters.

Not long after, three nurses and five or six servant girls came in, surrounded by three girls who were all dressed the same.The first one has slightly plump skin, a medium-sized figure, is gentle and silent, and looks amiable. This is Yingchun.The second one has slender shoulders and a thin waist, with a tall figure, handsome eyebrows and slender eyes, and looks very neat. This is Tanchun.The last one, who is still small in stature, is cute as Yuxue, so this is Xichun.After seeing it, Daiyu stood up, greeted each other with Sanchun sisters, recognized each other, and everyone returned to their seats.For a while, a servant girl served tea, and Jia Mu asked Daiyu's mother how she got sick, how to get medical medicine, and how to treat the funeral after she left. The one who loves you the most is your mother, she left before me now, and I will never see you again. Seeing you now is like seeing Min'er when I was a child, so why don't I feel sad." Daiyu saw, what is this? I started crying again, so hurry up and persuade her, "Grandmother, mother Quanxia knows, I don't want my grandmother to be so sad because of her. In the future, Yu'er will take the place of her mother, grandma, isn't grandma happy?" The rest of the people also hurriedly persuade Jiamu that she just Do not cry.Daiyu thought, "Emma, ​​I finally stopped crying. If I do this a few more times, I really have nothing to say." Everyone started talking again.
