"Our girl followed our mother and was born with a slender and weak body. At this time, my wife is working as a second-rank wife in Shandong, enjoying a happy life, and my uncle in the outer courtyard is famous for his bravery in Jianghuai, so My girl is naturally healthy, so I ask my uncle and wife to be cautious when it comes to my daughter's family's reputation."
Mrs. Wang's face was full of embarrassment after being slapped like this by a servant.
Daiyu turned a blind eye and said to Jia Mu with a smile: "Mama Rong was originally the nanny who taught the princess in the palace. It was my brother who wrote to your majesty to ask for it, so he asked the queen to give it to me. At home, it is my father and I. Mother and grandma are always treated with courtesy when they meet her, and my brother and I respect her very much."
At this time, the news that Jia Yuanchun was granted the title of Minister of Fengzao Palace and the title of Concubine Xiande had not yet spread out of the palace, so when she heard that the emperor and empress had appointed a nanny, Mrs. Wang had no confidence at all, and her face turned pale.
However, Jia's mother was used to the world and was the wife of the Duke of the country. She was not intimidated and said with a smile: "It turns out that she is from the palace. It's rude."
Then he said to Daiyu: "But what Aunt Rong said is true. Your mother was born like this, and there was nothing wrong with it. She was just born with a small frame. She looks slender and delicate. But you can't compare it with us elderly women, it would make people laugh out loud."
Everyone laughed together.
Mrs. Wang had no choice but to smile a few times.
After everyone chatted for a while, they heard Mrs. Wang ask Sister Feng: "Have you let go of the monthly money?" Sister Feng was startled, rolled her eyes, and said hurriedly: "I have given away the monthly money. I will take the satin that Madam mentioned yesterday. I went upstairs to the back and searched for a long time, but I didn't see anything like that. I think my wife remembered it wrong?" Mrs. Wang said, "Is there any? It doesn't matter." Yin added, "I should just take out two and give them to you." You, my sister, are going to make clothes. You may want to ask someone to pick them up later, but don’t forget it.” Sister Feng said, “I’ve already prepared them. I’ll send them to you when my wife comes back to check them out.” Mrs. Wang smiled and said, Nodding and saying nothing.
Grandma Rong's frown deepened.
When talking about family affairs in front of guests, do you really think that you are the head of the Rongguo Mansion? This is not true, but it is just that everyone looked at the late old man and pretended to show off? This is Which family's rules? It's really hard to understand. Also, when the nephew and niece first met, they didn't show any courtesy, so they just casually took out two or two satins? Fortunately, you are still the head wife, this is also true. What can you say? Our girl is the governor of Shandong, the legitimate daughter of Earl Zhongyong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and the sister of Viscount Zhongxiao. She is the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking family who can walk eight steps with one foot and two steps, and she still needs two silks like you. Can’t make clothes?
Aunt Rong and the other Aunt Li looked at each other and gained a new understanding of the rules of the Jia family. She secretly decided to talk to the uncle when she went back. It would be better for the girl to come to the Jia family less often.
Others nestled in the small world of Rongguo Mansion and had never seen the world, but Jia Mu had. He glanced at Rong and Li, two nuns, and naturally understood what they were thinking. A sharp look flashed in his eyes, and his face was calm. , pointed at Sister Sanchun and said to Daiyu: "You young sisters, if you have time in the future, please come over and get together. Speaking of which, you also have a cousin. Hey, where did Baoyu go?"
In her words, Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and other Jia family men did not fall into her heart at all.
Yin asked the mandarin duck next to him: "I posted it yesterday. Didn't I say that I had a guest today and specifically told Baoyu not to run around? Why is there no one around now? Send someone to ask quickly." He complained again.
: "Xi Ren knows how to get big now, so I don't know how to warn him."
Mrs. Wang said: "As for the old lady, if you don't do anything to attack people, he will go to the temple on my behalf to fulfill my vows. He will be back before dinner."
Jia Mu just smiled and said nothing.
Mrs. Xing had a sarcastic smile on her lips, and then she wiped her mouth with her handkerchief; Sister Feng, Li Wan and Sanchun sisters did not dare to say a word. The maids, daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law below did not dare to vent their anger even more, and there was a sudden silence in the main room.
Daiyu suddenly wondered: This cousin who was born with a jade in his mouth was so noble and acted so indulgently, and no one blamed him.
Just as I was feeling embarrassed, I heard footsteps outside. The maid came in and said with a smile, "Baoyu is here."
Jia Mu then smiled even more kindly.
Before the maid finished speaking, a pair of young men came in: the young master had a golden crown and embroidered clothes, his face was like a peach petal, his eyes were like autumn waves, he had a gold necklace on his neck, and a five-color silk ribbon tied with a piece of beautiful jade.
Daiyu was still wondering where she had seen this young master. Mother Jia didn't say much, she just pointed at him and said, "This is your second aunt's son. He's called Baoyu. If you call him, he's second cousin."
Daiyu's face was indifferent, but she refused to err in the etiquette. After the meeting, she did not take the initiative to speak and just sat silently drinking tea.
When Baoyu saw such a charming and elegant sister, he was so happy that he didn't know how to let go. He only smiled and said: I have seen this sister before." Jia Mu laughed and said: "But it's nonsense again, you have never seen it before.
Pass him?"
Baoyu smiled and said, "Although I have never met him before, I think he is an old acquaintance because he looks kind to me. Today we just want to meet him again after a long distance, so it's not wrong."
Mother Jia was still waiting to say anything, but Grandma Rong couldn't help but stepped forward and said with a smile: "They say that my daughter is Xiaomu, our girl is Xiaomu, and my wife is Xiaoma, and my brother is filial to the old lady every day and looks at our girl.
It is also appropriate to have a kind face. It can be seen that our girl is the granddaughter of the old lady." When everyone heard this, they all laughed and said that was not the case.
Mrs. Wang and everyone in the Lin family breathed a sigh of relief.
But who would have thought that everyone was still angry at this, and Baoyu asked again: "Sister, have you ever studied?" Daiyu said, "I just studied four books." Baoyu was stunned for a moment, but did not get discouraged and said: "Sister
What are the two characters for your honorary name?" Daiyu then said the name. Baoyu asked for the name again. Daiyu said: "No character." Baoyu smiled and said: "I will give my sister a wonderful character..."
Before she finished speaking, Grandma Rong couldn't bear it anymore and said sternly: "Brother, be careful what you say!"
Baoyu was startled, held his mouth in aggrieved tone, and said to Jia Mu: "Old ancestor, where did this old guy come from? I was talking to my sister, why did she interrupt?"
Although Jia Mu was the wife of the Duke, no matter how much she loved Baoyu, how could she dare to let him talk nonsense in front of Aunt Rong? She quickly reached out her hand to cover his mouth and shouted: "What are you talking about!"
Then he smiled at Aunt Rong and said, "Baoyu is still young and not sensible. Aunty, please take care of me for my sake."
Aunt Rong took a step forward and said: "Forgive me for being presumptuous, my daughter's family has always had a name for her hairpin. It was given by her parents or respected elders. Now my eldest son, Brother Zhao, Viscount Zhongxiao, received it yesterday when he met the saint."
The emperor agreed and gave the two brothers and sisters a kind word. Please be careful what you say. The old slave is a servant, but he always follows the rules. The most important thing is that he cannot listen to unruly words. Please be considerate of the old lady."
Jia Mu said with a sarcastic smile: "If you really get the grace of the saint, you will be so generous that you can't be considerate. It turns out that we, Baoyu, are not sensible, so please don't care about it."
Grandma Rong said nothing, bowed, and retreated behind Daiyu.
Then the scene became cold again.
Daiyu had been reminded by her brother before that she knew that today's Rongguo Mansion and her party were originally here to create a barrier, so although she didn't show it on her face, she gave Grandma Rong 10,000 likes in her heart.
