Chapter 79 Visiting Jia
Originally, Lin Zhanyang thought that Jia's family was just Daiyu's relatives, and there was really no need to get involved with someone who was out of touch.He has a big heart, and he doesn't think there is any problem with letting a girl under ten go out to visit friends alone...
But now the situation is a little different from what I expected: I send the capable servants in front of the officials to the front, and the various secrets and filth of the Ningrong Second House are behind, obviously I can't let the delicate and weak Daiyu run over alone of.
On the contrary, Daiyu, who had been quite "excited" the night before, calmed down when the situation was imminent.
"Although there are those...but my grandmother's family has done a good job of saving face, so how can she do anything to my youngest daughter who has just arrived?"
Even if I really do something, the snow geese will protect me.Daiyu secretly added a sentence in her heart.
If Lin Zhanyang knew the original trajectory of the world and Daiyu's heartfelt feelings at this moment, I'm afraid he would be very pleased. In only three years, he has successfully used his personality charm to make Daiyu grow from a weak to a delicate woman. Hua has become a violent flower who does not consider the issue of force.
Master Boundless will be silent after seeing it, and Fairy Jing Huan will cry when she sees it.
Daiyu was honest about her trip, but she was just saying... After all, she is only such a small female family member, and letting her come out alone is not a matter of Lin Zhanyang's worry, but whether outsiders will gossip thing.
The Lin family's new house was bought from a second-rank official who begged for his bones to return home. There are a lot of high-ranking officials nearby, and it happened to be able to buy it by coincidence.However, intentionally or not, Ning Rong Street, where Jia's family is located, happened to be on the opposite corner of the city.
The capital city is not that big, but it is extremely lively, with various street vendors hawking one after another along the road, and Daiyu couldn't stop being curious when she heard it in the carriage.Lin Zhanyang has always indulged Lin Daiyu, seeing her curiosity about the outside world, he silently made a note of it.
Before my elder brother and sister-in-law come, let's dress up in men's clothes and take him out for a walk another day.
Not long after, the carriage turned around and entered Ningrong Street, and stopped beside the stone lion at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, when several voices greeted it from outside.
Naturally, the Jia family was responsible for receiving guests from the capable nuns in front of the second wife, Mrs. Wang. Yes, they are the two who are still locked in the yamen.It was inconvenient for these two, so the two wives from Lin Zhixiao's family, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, and Wang Shanbao's family from the big house came to pick them up.
In the past, the big house didn't care about things, and Wang Shanbao's family didn't have anything to compare with. He only envied the proud man in front of the second wife who showed up in front of the master many times.This time she was looking forward to it, but when the Lin family's two uncles and nephews showed up, she was disappointed.
Looking at the plain dress, the girl wears a jade hairpin on her head in a bun, with a little bead flower on it. The man looks elegant, but his body is even more shabby...he doesn't have the air of a rich family.
Apparently, this "unreasonable" uncle and nephew of the Lin family would not do anything like rewards.
Lin Zhixiao's family looked at Wang Shanbao's family with too appreciative eyes, and secretly scolded the woman for her short-sightedness.
Her man often walks around outside, so of course he doesn't have Wang Shanbao's vulgar and stupid eyesight. He can see at a glance what the Lin family's uncle and nephew are wearing, what they wear on their heads, what they wear around their waists... they are small but fine, so they helped Lin Daiyu get off the carriage. As soon as she touched it, the feeling of the fabric in her hand made her speechless in surprise.And look at the servant girl who is serving her, she also has gentle features and eyes, she looks bookish...
As for the young master of the Lin family who tossed the Jia family for quite a while without saying a word yesterday...
Lin Zhixiao's family took a look, Lin Zhanyang turned around sharply immediately, his pupils like ghosts and ghosts turned, and stared straight at him, Lin Zhixiao's family suddenly felt cold, turned away in a hurry, forced a smile and said "Old ladies and ladies have been waiting" and the like.
This is not just a scene, Jiamu and others have indeed been waiting early in the morning.After notifying three times and passing through four curtains, Lin Zhanyang stepped into the door, and suddenly felt that a group of female family members inside were all focused on him.
——It must be an illusion.
Lin Zhanyang stepped aside knowingly, revealing a slender figure who was much shorter than himself behind him... Then he bowed his head deeply, his face was a little embarrassed.
This is probably the occasion where he saw the most women at one time after he came to this land.
What, the contact between the opposite sex in this place seems to be very strict.Lin Zhanyang thought about it this way, and after Lin Daiyu and Jia's mother finished hugging, crying, and introduced his identity, he cupped his hands, saying that he is a foreigner and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time...
Don't interrupt Jia's mother before you finish speaking.Then I heard Jia Mu laughing: "How old are you, and you are not much older than Baoyu. What can you do with so many people watching... You are too particular about this child."
"..."
Jia's mother could say that, but Lin Zhanyang couldn't really agree.
His body is now fifteen, Xingji, who only became an adult at the age of 30, is of course still a minor who should work hard, but in this world, he is already at an age where he can get married, and many people even have sons.
Of course, physically speaking, you can do whatever you want.
People here pay attention to the fact that men and women have different seats at seven years old, even if this man and woman are brothers and sisters, they have to avoid it, not to mention that he has nothing to do with the ladies of the Jia family.He doesn't care about the girls, but the girls here are working hard, so they should be more vigilant.
It was actually the same. When he didn't say it, the Jia family got used to it. When he said that, the young girls who were looking at him curiously blushed and bowed their heads.
Is this the young master of the Lin family? To put it bluntly, but... after all, he is Zhili.
Seeing him like this, Jia's mother was helpless, so she had to let Sanchun and Daiyu who were around her introduce her, and then let the three of them go to the back room to stay.
Mother Jia beckoned and asked Lin Zhanyang to come closer so she could have a closer look. Lin Zhanyang did as he said, and his light-colored green eyes moved slightly to fixate on Mother Jia. Her pupils are clear and clear, and she can plunge directly into the bottom of people's hearts... Seeing her heart tremble.
Mother Jia's heart froze, and she felt a little displeased.This man looks like a man and a woman, his face is grotesque, he looks like a sharp and unkind person, and his behavior is too unreasonable, but he is more particular... I think so, but she doesn't show it at all, smiling Kind and kind like a serious and kind old lady, pulling Lin Zhanyang praised his kindness, emphasizing his "extraordinary appearance" and so on.
Regarding this... Lin Zhanyang himself is not ashamed at all.
He calmly responded and intervened in the topic:
"... This trip to Zhanyang has received a lot of responsibility from my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law has missed everyone in my natal family for a long time. Before I came to the capital to say goodbye, I specially asked me to be courteous... These are prepared by my sister-in-law for the prince and all the ladies. Gift." Lin Zhanyang pointed to the box brought up by the servants, and motioned to Lin Daiyu.
The box was opened in public, and wooden boxes of different sizes were neatly stacked inside, and the giver's name was neatly written on each side in small script with hairpin flowers.From Jia's mother and the elders of the two houses, the line is arranged according to the sons, daughters, sons and daughters of each house, and even a small gift for the fetus in the womb of Wang Xifeng, who is a twin in the eldest house.Although the things are very much the same, but the ingenuity can be seen in the details, and there are poems and blessings on the name cards with beautiful handwriting.
Daiyu personally delivered the items one by one according to the name cards, and kept a few girls for her to deliver in private later.
The things that Jia Min prepared for Mother Jia were obviously the most important, not to mention the ones sent by the Lin family, and a white jade Guanyin statue she specially picked out, which is solemn and moist, and looks extraordinary.
Jia's mother was happy in her heart, she rubbed and played with it, and blamed in her mouth: "You children, you are too strangers, you are all from your own family, just come and see the old woman more, and prepare so many gifts for whatever you do."
None of the uncles and nephews of the Lin family would really take the blame for Jia's mother to heart.Daiyu smiled: "My mother said that she was not filial to not being able to accompany my grandmother all the year round, but she didn't want to make my grandmother worry about it...Although these are not worth a lot of money, after all, it is a little heart. I hope my grandmother will not blame her children and grandchildren."
Lin Zhanyang nodded: "There are other preparations for several adults and sons. Daiyu is inconvenient for female relatives, so she asked me to do it for her."
Well, the meaning of this is obvious.
Mother Jia wished that he would leave quickly, and as soon as he left, she hugged Daiyu and cried for a while, crying "my poor son"...
Daiyu: "..."
I... miserable life? ? ?
did i do something
Let's talk about Lin Zhanyang, he was first led by the housekeeper Lin Zhixiao to the Rongxi Hall, halfway there he heard Lin Zhixiao say: "The second master is talking with the disciples in the study." Then he was taken aback:
"Why isn't this the way to Zhengtang?"
"..." Lin Zhixiao was a little embarrassed, "Hey, it's going to the main hall."
"I remember that Zhenggong never came to the throne."
That's right, how can there be a reason why people who don't claim titles steal away in the main hall, but let the dignified nobles squeeze to the side of the stable and open a corner door to go in and out?
Facing Lin Zhanyang's eyes that seemed to see through everything, Lin Zhixiao was a little embarrassed. He didn't think there was any problem in the past, but now he couldn't express it.
"The eldest lady left early, and the second wife has always been in charge of the house...Because the two houses have not yet separated, they don't separate each other. The old lady always loves the younger one...The second master only has a sixth-rank Beijing official. The old lady was worried that he would be in a difficult situation in the middle of the capital, and the old man is used to being a dutiful son, so she took the initiative to let the Rongxi hall live in for my younger brother."
These words can barely pass the face, but if you listen carefully, they are full of flaws.There is a plug-in Yujun's speech, Lin Zhanyang is clear about the situation in Jia's house, and he will stop meddling in this place, just smiled and said:
"I think the butler must have chosen a shortcut for me... It's just that I've always been lazy and unwilling to mingle with people. It's the first time I take on this task, so I'd better go step by step."
Well, this means that the Xijue is recognized as the rightful owner.
Lin Zhanyang's clear and gentle eyebrows are indeed soft like a girl's, but there is no trace of wavering in the gentle eyebrows.
As for Lin Zhixiao's explanation of how much he believed, it was nothing more than free testimony.
The author has something to say: The car overturned at the beginning of the month, and Leopard wanted to cry. If it happens again this month, I won’t be able to attend full time again.
