A visit to Fangchun

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, and Jiamu sent someone to invite her, saying that the whole family hadn't sat down together for a long time. It happened to be a feast for Lin Daiyu.

The three hurriedly adjusted their makeup and came over here, only to see that not only Li Wan Yingxi was there, but even Wang Xifeng rushed over early.

Seeing Lin Daiyu, Wang Xifeng hurriedly came up first, smiled and held hands: "My sister is back. Your Lian's second elder brother has always been careless, so I have wronged my sister along the way."

After saying a word, Daiyu laughed and shook her hand instead: "Second Brother Lian helped me so much, I don't even know how to thank my sister-in-law. But my sister-in-law told me this first, This must be born and must be far away from my heart."

Sister Feng quickly became humble.

Hearing that Lin Daiyu could say such words, Jia's mother was very pleased, and looked at her granddaughter with even more loving eyes.

Tanchun kept pursing his lips and smiling, seeing that Mrs. Wang and others hadn't come yet, Yue Xinger said what Daiyu said just now: "Sister Feng, don't think that this is Sister Lin being polite. You told me just now, because this time She also followed Lian's second brother to learn how to manage affairs, and she admired you so much. She also sighed that she was ignorant before, and she didn't know how much trouble she had caused you as the head of the family. She also persuaded me a lot, let me save some trouble, don't always Go and make noise about you! Sister Feng, tell me, we sisters, except for the eldest sister-in-law, who is your serious sister-in-law, have we sister-in-laws dared to make noise to you half a time?"

Wang Xifeng glanced at Lin Daiyu unexpectedly, feeling warm in his heart, wrapped Lin Daiyu's catkin with both hands, and sent her to sit next to Jiamu, but smiled and followed Tanchun to make fun of him: "If you talk about others, I have never done it. They are all very considerate of me. Only you, third sister, tsk tsk tsk, I don’t know who it was before, under the banner of the old lady, ran to me and asked for so many jars, large, medium and small, five catties and half catties, White porcelain and pottery clay, how can there be no mistakes at all..."

Tanchun blushed immediately, and ran up to her with a smile to cover her mouth: "How many times have I told you not to say anything, you just want to be so bad!"

Jia Mu's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Is Tan girl going to make something delicious?"

Wang Xifeng looked at Tanchun's anger and hatred, giggled coquettishly and stopped Jia's mother: "Don't ask, old ancestor. She was planning a surprise."

Everyone laughed, and Jia Baoyu laughed so hard that he clapped his hands and fell beside Jia Mu, saying, "Sister Feng is really amazing. Now, I think the third sister will not say anything."

Jia Tanchun had already sat aside to pretend to be sullen.Everyone couldn't stop laughing.

At this moment, someone reported: "The eldest wife, the second wife, and the concubine, Miss Xue, is here."

Everyone stopped laughing, except Jia Mu, who stood up.

Mrs. Xing waited to greet Jia Mu first, and then she was busy looking at Lin Daiyu: "My sister is back. Look, she's thinner again. You need to take good care of it."

Lin Daiyu paid big gifts and thanked them all one by one. Fang and Xue Baochai bowed their knees and said hello to each other with a smile: "Sister Bao is more kind." Why do you still say such kind words when we meet?"

Lin Daiyu tilted her head and said with a smile: "I didn't wake up just now, I was in a daze, I neglected my sister, now I will make it up."

Mother Jia understood, ignored them, and asked Wang Xifeng with a smile, "Are you all ready?"

Wang Xifeng quickly nodded with a smile, and then said to Mrs. Xing Wang and Aunt Xue: "We have no outsiders, so we just sit down with the girls. The old lady means that everyone sits together without dividing tables. Madam and Aunt, please?"

The three nodded in agreement: "That's right." Let Jia Mu go to the reunion table in the hall together, Jia Mu sat at the head, and everyone sat down one by one in order.Wang Xifeng put the chopsticks on the chopsticks, and Li Wan clothed the dishes, standing aside to serve.

However, Lin Daiyu pulled Li Wan with one hand and Wang Xifeng with the other, and said to Mother Jia and King Xing with a smile: "There are so many things at home, and the wives and sisters-in-law have long been exhausted. The old lady also said that today I borrow When I come back, the whole family sit down. I am young, ignorant, and I rely on small vendors, please allow me to let the two sister-in-laws sit down and eat together tonight?"

According to the rules of Jia's mansion, when entertaining guests, young mistresses of Li Wan, Wang Xifeng's generation, can only sit and have a busy meal at the small table after serving Jia's mother, King Xing and sisters-in-law, before continuing to serve .

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang frowned and looked at Daiyu without waiting for Mother Jia to speak, and blurted out: "Courtesy cannot be discarded."

Jia Tanchun couldn't help rolling his eyes at the words.

That being the case, how could you not be polite when it came to wearing mourning for Jia Min back then?

Because of Mrs. Wang's words, it was difficult for others to speak, and Daiyu was even more embarrassed.

Jia Baoyu was about to interrupt with a smile, but Jia's mother said leisurely: "The law is nothing more than human feelings. There are no outsiders. Why do they make such unimportant rules?" She smiled and looked at Daiyu and teased, " Our girl Lin is also sensible, and knows that she loves her sister-in-law. It’s really a trip, I’ve grown older, I’ve gained insight, and I’ve grown my heart.”

Mrs. Wang naturally knew that she was impatient.Wanting to kill this girl from the Lin family didn't focus on one or two things, so she nodded with a smile, and was about to speak, but Mrs. Xing took the initiative: "The old lady said very well. Our family It's not easy for the two young mistresses, so the elders should take good care of them. Since that's the case, come quickly and move a chair for your eldest grandma and second mistress."

Mrs. Wang also had to force a smile and sigh, and said: "I'm afraid I'll spoil them. Zhu'er daughter-in-law is honest, but Feng girl has become a lot more frizzy lately—forget it, since your sister loves her dearly, and the old lady wants to save your face, go sit down."

Wang Xifeng's eyes were reddened by the word "frizzy".

With so many things going on at home, Mrs. Wang always presumes that she is not well, and isn't it all her own work?Jia Lian is not at home, I don't even have anyone to talk to, and I have to take care of my eldest sister, I am already so tired that I haven't seen red for two or three months——

Aunt Xue naturally understood in her heart, she felt sorry for Wang Xifeng, and felt that Mrs. Wang could not speak, so she quickly smoothed things up with a smile: "My sister has always only scolded her own children. Feng girl, quickly help your sister-in-law to sit down."

Tanchun hurriedly gave Xichun a wink, the two stood up, one went to pull Li Wan, the other went to pull Wang Xifeng, and smiled and pushed the two of them to be beside him.

Mother Jia didn't even look at Mrs. Wang, she turned to Yuanyang and asked, "Go and ask, is daughter-in-law Zhen coming?"

Yuanyang bowed his knees and bowed his head: "I just sent people back and forth. In the East Mansion, Uncle Zhen treated the banquet and invited the Eldest Master and Second Master Lian to share it together. Grandma Zhen has to take care of the affairs of the mansion, and she is not very comfortable today. I won't come here anymore. Let me apologize to the old lady, and ask Miss Lin to go to the East Mansion to play after she gets tired, and she has left good things for Miss Lin."

Lin Daiyu hurriedly stood up and listened, and thanked her with a smile.

Then everyone laughed and ate, and when the meal was over, they sat and drank tea together.Then there were people coming back and forth outside: "Several masters said that when my aunt and uncle came, they were all very sad, and they drank a little faster, and they were all drunk. The second master said that this way is afraid of offending the old lady. Tonight I won’t be here anymore. Please go to bed first, the old lady. The gentlemen will come over and talk to the old lady tomorrow morning.”

When Wang Xifeng heard this, a little worry appeared on his face.

After Jia Lian came back, the couple had just met, and after a few words, they went to work separately.Jia Lian came back from running all the way, and got drunk before he could sleep through, fearing that his body would be damaged.

After hearing this, Jia's mother looked at the expression on her face early.Jia Tanchun and Lin Daiyu also followed to see, and even Jia Baoyu stretched out their heads to look.Everyone saw it, but no one was willing to tease her about this kind of thing, so they all smiled and stopped.

Even so, Wang Xifeng was also blushed by several people, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Mother Jia couldn't help laughing, and told them: "Forget it, let's go. You are all tired, and they are young and can't bear it. I'm afraid Miss Lin can't bear it either."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Wang Xifeng unexpectedly, and then she understood. She couldn't help but sneered slightly, stood up, waved to Yuanyang, and gently told her: "Sister Lin came back from a long journey, and she is very tired. If the old lady still wants to pull Keep talking, please stop me." Yuanyang responded respectfully and respectfully with crossed hands.

Mrs. Xing also asked Lin Daiyu a few words, and Fang smiled and bowed her knees to say goodbye to Jia Mu: "Then we will pass, you should rest earlier."

Everyone went out.Tanchun pays attention and deliberately lags behind by a few steps.

Baoyu wanted to send Daiyu back to her room with all her heart, and said something intimate, so she hurriedly resigned from Jia Mu and followed Lin Daiyu away.

Tanchun deliberately dawdled for a while, leaving Baoyu with time to say a few words, and then followed.

Xueyan was in a daze from exhaustion in the outer room, when she saw her come in, she was surprised and happy, stood up and bowed her knees to say hello.Tanchun pursed his lips and smiled, waved his hands, and walked in by himself.

Then I heard Daiyu say annoyedly: "What stinky man took it? I don't want it."

Baoyu hurriedly explained: "This is a gift from the emperor. The King of Beijing Jing gave it to me that day..."

Daiyu became more and more unhappy, and interrupted: "So what?"

Tanchun knew that he was talking about the string of wagtails and fragrant pearls. He smiled, lifted the curtain of the back room and went in, and then said, "Second brother, this is the King of Beijing Jing. Even if our own family knows that it is a reward for you , You donated it as a gift. But if one day someone sees it and says that Sister Lin and the foreigner have given each other privately, wouldn't that mean killing people?"

This is of course a true fallacy, but Baoyu didn't have a word.

Naturally, Daiyu didn't want to see Tanchun, snorted, turned around and went back to the dressing table by herself, ordering Zijuan: "Take off your head, I'm going to sleep."

Tanchun pulled Baoyu away: "Second brother, Sister Lin just came back. She just cleaned up at my place and then went to see Sister Bao. After Sister Bao left, you went again. Then it was half a day of tea and rice. I don't care about falling down. Let her sleep quickly."

When Baoyu heard this, he could not help complaining that Baochai was not considerate, and then he said hurriedly, "But I was reckless, and I disturbed your spirit for half a day. Take a rest, and I will come to see you again tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Daiyu's heart softened. She looked back at him and said softly, "I see. You can go now."
