Scroll A, Section 80: Entering Jia's Mansion Again
Zijuan also knows that since her ancestor gave her to the young lady, her own fate is tied to the young lady.
I am three years older than the young lady, and have stayed in the mansion for four or five years. I am naturally familiar with the situation in the mansion. Although my ancestors cherish the young lady very much, and the second wife still cares about her, if I want to be with Bao
Compared with the second master, I'm afraid there is still something different. After all, the second master Bao's surname is Jia, and he is the direct descendant of the second wife, so he is related to the Jia and Wang families.
Mr. Bao Er has always been the only one in the house. Apart from Mr. Bao, who can cure him, if he has bad intentions, no one can cure him.
Even if the young lady is very popular with her ancestors, I am afraid it will be difficult for the ancestors to favor her. Otherwise, they will be blamed on their servants for not taking good care of the young master and the young lady. This is the case with Zijuan herself.
I was somewhat mentally prepared, and even vaguely and well-to-do Yuanyang, Xiren revealed.
"Humph, Brother Bao is a very smart person, why do you act like this?" The little girl has been in contact with Zijuan for so long, and she has a better understanding of her maid's character. She is a sincere and loyal person, even better than herself.
The snow goose brought from home was more reassuring, so there was not much cover in front of her.
"If my uncle and aunt want his future well, I'm afraid they should be disciplined and restrained. I'm afraid it won't be a long-term thing to let him play around with his temper like this."
Lin Daiyu's words made Zicuckoo change her face slightly. It seemed like she was blaming her elders. Even though there were only two of us, the juniors would not dare to say such words. But she didn't know that these words were just
Lin Daiyu just followed what Feng Ziying said to her at the beginning and brought it out naturally.
In fact, Zijuan also knows that there are many people in the whole family who have Lin Daiyu's thoughts, such as Second Master Lian and Second Grandma Lian, Second Master Bao's sister, Miss Third, and even Grandma Zhu. I'm afraid they are all right inside.
Second Master Bao made a lot of absurd and slanderous remarks.
It is said that Grandma Zhu has a very tight restraint on Brother Lang. She does not allow Brother Lang to be with his Second Uncle Bao. She is afraid that she will not learn well from Second Uncle Bao. This is the only hope that Grandma Zhu has in her life.
Naturally, I don’t want Brother Lang to become a demon king like Mr. Bao.
"Miss, you can't just say this..." Zijuan hesitated, but finally said it, "There are many talkative people in the house. Well, there are inevitably some who like to tell stories. If they hear it, I'm afraid
…”
Lin Daiyu is also a delicate person, so she naturally knows that Zicuckoo is doing it for her own good, especially for someone like herself who relies on others. In name, she is aloof, but in reality she also knows the situation. The most important thing is to be cautious and not to give others a thumb.
"Zicuckoo, I understand, but I am also worried about my uncle and aunt." Lin Daiyu nodded calmly and said no more: "If Brother Bao can drink more with Brother Feng, I would like to ask for your help.
Maybe I can’t get some enlightenment from it, and if I can wake up and make some changes, maybe it’s really a good thing.”
Not to mention, Jia Baoyu was really confused when he received Jia Lian's invitation.
For a child who has just turned ten, being invited by his elder brother in the name of an adult undoubtedly makes Jia Baoyu, who already likes liveliness, very happy. Even if he cannot eat or drink, sitting together can still be lively.
After all, for him who spends all his time hanging out with the sisters and maids in the house, that is a different feeling.
But when he learned that Brother Lian specially invited Feng Ziying to accompany him, he became a little confused.
He didn't know why he had an indescribable dislike for this Feng family elder.
To say that the Feng family and the Jia family are close friends, Feng Ziying was not very familiar with the family in the past. After coming here once or twice, I didn’t even have any impression. And Feng Ziying saved sister Lin’s life.
, it is said that this relationship here should be very close no matter what.
For example, Brother Lian is very familiar with Feng Ziying and they talk to each other very well. Why do you feel that you are unhappy with the other person for no reason?
He had analyzed that he was probably a little jealous, jealous of Sister Lin's admiration and dependence on the Feng family, which made him very angry. However, the Feng family saved Sister Lin's life, and Sister Lin felt grateful.
This feeling of admiration seems to make sense. If he wants to win sister Lin's favor, it seems that he really can't make the relationship with this Feng family man too tense.
Because of this, Jia Baoyu still felt that he had to go to this dinner.
The banquet was held in the Dongnuan Pavilion outside the Yimen of Rongguo Mansion.
Although Rongguo Mansion is large, it has a large population. Especially the East Courtyard at the back is a miscellaneous courtyard and is not well utilized. However, if the East Courtyard is to be completely renovated, the money required will be overwhelming.
So it turned out that the Rongguo Mansion had also considered it, but in the end it was put aside because of lack of money.
If we talk about a good place to entertain guests, Tianxiang Pavilion in Ningguo Mansion is undoubtedly more suitable. But today, it is Jia Lian’s treat. It would be okay to arrange it in Ningguo Mansion, but there is a lack of space, so we can only arrange it.
It's in Dong Nuan Pavilion.
Dongnuan Pavilion is not big, but fortunately there were not many people having the banquet this time, so it was suitable.
When Jia Baoyu arrived, Jia Lian, Feng Ziying, Jia Rong, and Jia Yun had already arrived.
On this table, Jia Lian is undoubtedly the guest of honor, Feng Ziying is the host and guest, and although Jia Baoyu is young, her seniority and status are there. Jia Rong and Jia Yun are both a generation shorter than those present, but Jia Rong is Ning Guo.
Jia Yun is the direct son of the house, and Jia Yun is the younger brother of the outer house. No doubt he was specially called to join in the fun.
"Hey, Brother Bao is here?" Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment when she saw Jia Baoyu coming, but then she thought about it, there are only a few people in Rongning's second house who can take charge of the family, and the older generation is not the only one.
Maybe the younger ones are Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu from Rongguo Mansion.
The problem is that Jia Zhen is more than ten years older than Jia Lian and twenty years older than herself. It is impossible for him to come. It can only be his son Jia Rong. But just Jia Lian, Jia Rong and himself would be too deserted.
.
Jia Yun was of the right age, but not of sufficient status. She was a side branch of the family and could just be a helper, but could not take on the important role, so Jia Baoyu was the only one left.
It's just that they didn't realize that Jia Baoyu was actually not on the right track with them. Maybe everyone subconsciously regarded themselves as peers of similar age to them, but they didn't expect that in terms of age alone, they were no better than Jia Baoyu.
There is a difference of more than two years, and the age difference between me and them is even bigger. For example, Jia Lian is six or seven years older than me, while Jia Rong and Jia Yun are only four or five years older than me.
"Second Brother Lian, Brother Feng, Brother Rong,..." Jia Baoyu was still very polite in terms of etiquette, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Feng Ziying, but he also wanted to face Feng Ziying again.
On the one hand, I want to explore the other party's background again and see what other abilities this guy has besides being brave. On the other hand, I also want to ease the relationship if possible, and even make good friends with the other party, assuming that the other party is Sister Lin.
He used the relationship as his savior to draw closer to his relationship with Sister Lin.
Looking at the handsome man sitting next to him, Jia Baoyu felt familiar, but he didn't have much impression. Jia Rong was very eye-catching, and he immediately realized that Jia Baoyu didn't know Jia Yun, so he quickly said:
"Uncle Bao, this is Brother Yun from the fifth sister-in-law's house in the West Corridor. You may not be familiar with it..."
"Oh, I have an impression." Jia Baoyu was not embarrassed at all and nodded with a smile: "Brother Yun doesn't have much time to visit our house. He will come to visit more in the future."
