Chapter One

86_86438 Let’s say that Daiyu abandoned her boat and landed on the shore that day. She had been waiting for a long time in the car and sedan chair of her grandfather Rongguo Mansion. She picked her up and saw her grandmother Shi Taijun and a group of female relatives. She followed Jia She’s wife Xing to visit her uncle. Read the book at midnight

As soon as she got out of the car, Mrs. Xing took Daiyu's hand and entered the main room. She saw a three or four-year-old boy leaning on the chair and bored. When they saw them entering the door, she immediately jumped down and rushed forward in three or two steps and said with a crisp voice: "Madam, is this the legendary Sister Lin?"

Mrs. Xing smiled and said, "You little monkey, you are gentler, don't scare others."

The boy smiled and said, "Su Wen recognizes me, but I don't recognize him!" He bowed to Lin Daiyu seriously and said, "My younger brother Jia Cong is the son of Jia She, the first-class general of the dynasty. He is three years old. He is smart, well-behaved and obedient. He is loved by everyone. When flowers bloom, he has seen Sister Lin." He said, and many concubines and maids standing in the room are smiling. Daiyu is puzzled. Since entering the mansion, he has seen all the rules and solemnity. Seeing that this cousin is very lively, he has never heard his father mention it at home. It seems that it was because of his young age. He did not show his face and hurriedly returned a blessing to him.

Mrs. Xing pointed at him and said, "This is a youngest son of our master. I'm sorry that his aunt has gone, and the master loves him very much." She took her hand and led Daiyu to sit on the chair. Daiyu knew that the child was originally the concubine son of her uncle.

Jia Cong widened his black eyes and looked her up and down for half a day. Although he was rude, he was young and Daiyu was not surprised. After looking at him for a while, he clapped his hands and smiled, "Our master has been waiting for his sister for a long time. I'll go to the study outside to invite him."

An old lady at the back said, "If you don't care about any girl, you are the man's family, why are you doing these errands?"

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "I want to move my muscles and bones, can't I do it?" He waved to Lin Daiyu and ran out in a flash.

Mrs. Xing waved her hand and said, "Forget it, he won't jump up or down one day." The man who called out again quickly followed. The old lady whispered a few words.

After a while, someone said, "The master is here."

Daiyu hurriedly stood up and looked closely. A middle-aged man wearing red sandalwood arrow sleeves came in outside. He had three beards. Although his expression was very solemn, his expression was a bit slight. Needless to say, this was Jia She, the eldest master of Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Xing held Daiyu's hand with a smile on her face and said, "Master, this is the niece of the Lin family."

Daiyu hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

Jia She nodded and said, "It was actually a manuscript when she was so old as Min'er." As she said that, she used a veil to wipe the corners of her eyes. She never thought that she would immediately cry and shed her tears, and the more she wiped her, the more she could not stop it.

When Daiyu saw her uncle crying, how could she resist missing her deceased mother? She also covered her face and cried.

Their uncle and nephew shed tears for a while, and Mrs. Xing advised from the side: "I have cried for a while from the old lady just now. Master, don't be sad anymore. Be careful that crying will ruin your body."

Jia Congyuan was also crying. After hearing Mrs. Xing's words, he quickly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Jia She. Jia She handed the handkerchief that had been wet just now to her son. He took him to wipe the tears, and stopped soon.

Everyone just sat down, and an old nanny quietly sent out a group of servants, leaving only Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Daiyu and Jia Cong in the room. Jia She sighed to Daiyu, "Min'er is the youngest among my four sisters. Your father has never seen you again after going south for so many years. Every time she has been reading these days, I feel really sad. Fortunately, you are here. Good boy, this mansion must be different from your family. You only follow your daily routine, and there are some small rules that don't have to be rigid." Daiyu hurriedly said that she didn't dare. Jia She said again, "If you want to eat or play, just send someone to tell you Sister-in-law Lian. I have sent someone to tell her that I will take good care of you." Daiyu thanked again.

Jia Cong coughed a few times and filled himself with tea.

Jia She looked at him and said, "I just caught a cold a few days ago, so it was better, but I forgot to wear big clothes, didn't I?"

Jia Cong hurriedly threw away the teacup and said, "No, I'm wearing so warm. I wrote a lot of words this morning." As he said that, he straightened his chest and gestured twice as he wrote.

Jia Sheshu smiled and said, "I don't expect you to come back like Uncle Lin, and only get a Jinshi seriously. I can laugh out loud in my dreams." Without waiting for Jia Cong to answer, he looked back at Daiyu and said, "As soon as he mentioned writing, I remembered something to tell you. I naturally know that the capital of Gusu is a vain saying that you don't miss home. However, your father is over fifty years old, and you are the only child, and you must miss you. There is no one next to your uncle, but there is no shortage of people who come and send letters to the south. Niece, please write more letters to your brother-in-law, to relieve your father and to comfort him and miss his daughter. After all, he is also filial." After saying that, he glanced at Jia Cong, and Jia Cong smiled big, which was very cute.

Daiyu heard her uncle say she asked her to write a letter to her father more, and was so happy that she didn't pay any attention to what was next to her. She stood up and saluted Jia She and thanked her: "Thank you, uncle, I'm too annoying."

Jia She waved his hand and said, "But a few errand-run servants, what's the trouble? The reason for her niece to live comfortably in this mansion is." She sighed again, looked at the beams of the roof and said slowly, "There is only such a thing that I can do for Min'er." She seemed to be holding back tears on her face.

Daiyu's eyes turned red again when she said it, Jia Cong hurriedly interrupted: "Master, don't ask Sister Lin to cry again. Son just asked you, don't forget."

Jia She glared at him: "You have a lot of things." He pointed at him and said to Daiyu, "My niece has just arrived, and the boats are exhausted, so she is not in a hurry to talk about some things. This guy is very anxious." Nai said with a slight look on his face, "Although you are so talented, your cousin has some ambition. He has not yet learned, so he slipped into my study and touched a post. Although it was not good, it is rare that he has ambition." Yan Ji

At this point, he couldn't help but look at Jia Cong happily for a while. He remembered the long faces in front of the Feng family father and son that day, and even smiled. He said, "Mr. Lin is a scholar. I think his niece is very well-known. If you have nothing to do, you want to bother your niece and give him some advice. It's also more knowledgeable." He looked at Jia Cong again and said, "I'm now posting an old face and begging your sister. If you don't have a hard time studying, you won't break your legs."

Jia Cong was so clever that he had sneaked to Daiyu at this moment and bowed to the ground in a regular manner: "I would like to give you some advice from me. I will study hard and improve every day, and I will never lose my reputation as a sister."

Daiyu hurriedly said not daring, and stood up and bowed, saying, "I am only a few years older than you. I have just read the "Four Books", so I can't bear to be a teacher."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "The eagle is flying higher than the family bird, and is stronger than me."

Daiyu was originally a man who was not inferior to a man, but when he compared himself to a young eagle, his heart was vaguely very comfortable. He saw that his uncle was not as her father said that day, and he was a rough man. Although his words were not elegant, he was a bit literary. He also felt more and more friendly when he missed his deceased mother. He was originally his own uncle and the head of the Rongguo Mansion. His cousin was young, and he had only met for the first time and had not given him any face. So he humbled a few words, but he never really rejected them.

Several people talked for a while, and when Mrs. Xing saw that Jia She was happy, she spoke up and kept Daiyu for supper.

If I had known that Daiyu would have never seen Jia Zheng today, would Jia Cong say this? Then he smiled and said, "Sister Lin has another second master to see him, but don't let the second uncle be jealous and say that we will occupy Sister Lin, will the future be long?"

When Mrs. Xing heard this, she said, "That's right." So she ordered two or three nannies to send the girl over in the car just now, and then personally took her to the Yimen Gate.

Suddenly, someone shouted "Sister Lin" behind him. It turned out that Jia Cong ran out and smiled and handed Daiyu a little grasshopper with a straw, saying, "This is a red sleeve woven, so play with my sister--" He suddenly leaned over and whispered, "Oh, be careful not to let the second wife see it."

Daiyu was just a child. Seeing that the green grasshopper was only half a palm-sized, delicate and small, vivid, and very interesting, she couldn't help but reach out and take it: "What a delicate gadget."

Jia Cong clapped his hands: "Did I know my sister like it? My sister is from the south, and everyone in the south likes green."

Mrs. Xing said: "Where can match the colors of the south and the north, the children can guess every family."

Jia Cong made a face.

An old woman stretched out her head from the side and asked, "This Hongxiu's younger brother is the boy given to you by the second grandma Lian last month. It turns out that she called Xing'er?"

Jia Cong said, "That's right, he was the second brother's person. That day, I saw him playing with grasshoppers, so I asked him where he bought it. He said it was made by his sister. It happened a few days later that the master asked his second sister-in-law to add people to me. I thought that the grasshopper was so stubborn, so I asked him to give him two of them if he made fun things in the future." Everyone laughed again. The main stages of the servant and maid in the original work were in the second room. There were very few people in the big room. Except for Ping'er, who could not make any decisions, the only one who was outstanding was this servant Xing'er. Jia Cong naturally wanted to find a reason to dig it up. But Xing'er was just sent to Jia Lian at the beginning of the year, but he was just an ordinary young man and had never become Jia Lian's confidant.

"My second sister-in-law gave me immediately, and said that my second brother would come back and say it. Now I have changed his name to Lan Xiang. My second sister-in-law also gave me his sister too! It's so generous." Wang Xifeng is now in power, and it's better to say good things behind the scenes than to flatter him in person. The second grandmother Hengshu Lian's most unlimited is the eyes and ears.

Hearing that he praised Wang Xifeng for being generous, the old nanny sneered. Daiyu secretly praised her in her heart. There was a master who spoke so rudely?

Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Cong's kind-hearted eyebrows and said, "I'm still a child, I only know how to play."

Jia Cong shook his head and continued, "I'm back today. I've already gone to thank you in person while I'm paying my respects. The second brother said that a little boy is nothing. But the second sister-in-law has given it to me, and he's embarrassed to go back." He was furious when he said, but suddenly saw Lin Daiyu listening and hurriedly said, "Sister Lin, Hong. Xiu is really good at making small things. Otherwise, Cong'er rarely looks for people to ask for things~~" Everyone laughed.

Mrs. Xing looked up and saw that it was getting late, so she urged Daiyu to get on the car and stood at the Yimen Gate and watched the car go far away. Jia Cong also looked around for a while, feeling secretly tired. Being cute is really a difficult job. At his mental age, no matter how much he paints green, he can't do it.

Lin Daiyu went to the second room and met Lianlian in a cold manner. Jia Zheng had never seen anyone, so he chose to fast today; Mrs. Wang also spoke for half a day - it was completely different from the one I was in the big room just now. Daiyu was originally a very thoughtful person, but she didn't dare to say a word or walk a step further. At this moment, she pinched the grasshopper in her sleeves, and all kinds of flavors came out of her heart. She missed Gusu very much, and immediately wanted to write a letter to her father. But she just met her first time and didn't dare to ask when it would be appropriate for her uncle to send the letter, and she was secretly anxious.

On the other side, Jia Cong returned to the room. Jia Sheben sat and drank tea. When he heard his son come in and looked up at him and smiled, "How is the master singing this opera?"
