It is true that there is such a large courtyard in the Duke's mansion, but it has not been tidied up in advance... How could such an arrangement suddenly come about in time?
Perhaps Mrs. Wang had been stunned for a long time, as Grandma Lin Daiyu who was following her could tell.
She didn't show anything. She said that she had many people and she only needed to give them a place to work, and the rest would be taken care of by herself.
In the end, I still got the yard in my hands.
It's a pity that Jia Mu knew about this back and forth, and her daughter-in-law didn't take Lin Daiyu's coming over seriously at all.
To say that this old lady is also interesting, she can let her live in Baoxia at the back, but she can't let others treat Lin Daiyu slowly.
So when Lin Daiyu left first and went to the room assigned to her by Mrs. Wang to pack her luggage, the old lady gave Mrs. Wang a good lesson.
These things didn't make much sense to Lin Daiyu. What really made her uncomfortable was when it came to meeting people.
If the meal was not to her taste, Lin Daiyu didn't notice anything. After all, she had a day's buffer after arriving in the capital.
The rules before and after meals were also explained clearly to the old lady by her grandmother. Jia Mu felt sorry for Lin Daiyu's frailty, so Lin Daiyu followed the rules brought from Yangzhou.
So far, everything has been calm.
Lin Daiyu could feel her grandmother's distress for her, and she could also feel her second aunt's alienation from her.
As for her two uncles, they were not close people at all. Lin Daiyu didn't care much whether they met or not.
What really made her or the Lin family feel uncomfortable was the cousin of the Jia family named Jia Baoyu.
Because Lin Daiyu was still young, she didn't feel much when Jia Baoyu broke into the house.
But the grandmother who was following Lin Daiyu frowned because of Jia Baoyu's words and actions.
What do you mean, this sister looks familiar to me, maybe it's a natural fate.
What do you mean, you have a word, I will give you a name?
Is the master of the Lin family still alive? How could he name a girl's family when they meet her?
If this is the case, it can only be said that this cousin of the Jia family is a bit frivolous. He is young but can still tolerate it.
But when the other party asked Lin Daiyu if she had any jade, after receiving a negative answer, she smashed the jade to the ground...
This incident caused such a fuss that the eldest grandma suspected that this cousin really didn't like relatives like them coming to visit her.
Seeing this, Grandma quickly took Lin Daiyu and left first.
When he returned to the house, he only asked his young lady to stay away from her cousin.
Lin Daiyu was already trembling with shock at what happened. She nodded when she heard the grandma's instructions and remembered these words in her heart.
But now Daiyu is only six or seven years old, she is still a child.
How could I keep it in my heart after suffering such grievances?
After seven or eight days of waiting, the Xue family's aunt took Xue Baochai into the gate of Jia Mansion at the invitation of Mrs. Wang.
After Lin Daiyu met her sister Bao again after being introduced by her ancestors, she told Xue Baochai all her grievances.
Xue Baochai is now being taken care of and pampered by Mai Fan, and she is very confident.
When I heard that this cousin of the Jia family had such a devilish character, I felt very unhappy at first.
"Sister, don't be too angry. If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell your grandma."
"As for your grandmother, let's leave it at that. After all, Jia Baoyu is the direct grandson of the Jia family."
"I listen to you, this guy just has a good skin."
"Being so ignorant and causing trouble to others must be because of the excessive pampering at home."
"Sister, guess who I thought of when I let him do what he did?"
Lin Daiyu was a little confused: "Who is it?"
Xue Baochai pointed in the direction of the face: "Does my sister feel that his behavior is very similar to the baby bump of the Zhen family in Jinling City?"
Even though Lin Daiyu is young, the reputation of the Zhen family is far from being a household name in Jiangnan.
One is the arrogance from top to bottom, and the other is the reputation of Zhen Baoyu that they boast about.
At this point, Xue Baochai asked again: "Have you seen how Jia Baoyu gets along with the girls at home?"
Lin Daiyu shook her head: "Since I came to Jia's house, I just want to wait for my sister, but I am afraid of meeting Jia Baoyu again. I rarely go out recently."
Xue Baochai patted the back of Lin Daiyu's hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid. According to my mother's wishes, I will live in this Jia Mansion for a while."
"I can be your companion here. By the way, let's take a look at what kind of charter this Jia Baoyu is."
With Xue Baochai's assurance, Lin Daiyu was inexplicably no longer afraid.
Since the two of them had just met, they didn't want to be too intimate. According to the usual practice, they first had a meal with the elders and ancestors of the family and recognized several female members of the Jia family who were of similar age.
lock up.
Because the Jia family's Spring Festival, Tan Spring Festival, and Xichun Festival are all about the same age as Daiyu and Baochai.
When the old grandmother stopped talking to everyone, Xue Baochai went to play with them.
"I heard that Sister Bao also has an older brother?"
Mentioning his eldest brother, Xue Baochai's face was full of pride: "Yes, my brother is currently busy preparing for admission to the Imperial College. It is because of this that the family moved to Kyoto to live."
"If my father's property hadn't been in Jinling, I might not have been able to live in my aunt's house and get to know all the sisters."
The brother who everyone praised Xue Baochai was extremely curious. Tanchun also had a brother who was a little depressed because of the comparison with Baoyu.
Now I heard that Xue Baochai had an elder brother who was a serious scholar, so I couldn't help but want to find out more about him.
"Then Baochai's brother is much older than us?"
Xue Baochai shook his head and pushed Sister Lin next to him: "No, I have met the Lin family's sister once. My brother is only four or five years older than me. He is just focused on his studies.
, so I started school earlier than others."
That is to say, he joined the supervising school at the age of eleven or twelve, which is seven or eight years younger than Jia Zhu was back then.
Just by comparing with each other, the Jia family was outcompeted by the Xue family. For a while, Tanchun's desire to take out the treasure jade and compare it with others faded away.
The girls were choked into silence by Xue Pan's achievement, and the scene was very embarrassing for a time.
