Chapter 879 Lin Daiyu Meets Relatives

Just as Lu Cheng and Jia Zheng were meeting in the study in the front hall, Lin Daiyu also came to the back house and met her grandmother, several aunts, cousins-in-law, cousins, etc.

When Jia's mother saw Lin Daiyu, she remembered her beloved little daughter and couldn't help crying. When Daiyu thought of her mother, she naturally had tears in her eyes.

The grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and cried for a while, and the others also started crying. It was only after Mrs. Xing started to persuade the old lady that she began to introduce relatives to Daiyu.

"This is your eldest aunt, this is your second aunt..."

"This is your Xianzhu sister-in-law..."

After introducing the relatives, the old lady saw that Daiyu was served by only an old nanny and a teenage maid (Xiangling was Lu Cheng's close friend), so she said, "How can this work with only an old and a young girl around? Let Yingge serve the young lady. Yingge, change your name to Zijuan from now on, and stay with Yu'er."

"Yes."

As soon as she arrived at the Jia Mansion, the old lady gave Daiyu a maid.

Afterwards, the old lady asked someone to call the three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun to meet Daiyu.

In the original novel, when Daiyu entered the Jia Mansion, she had just experienced the pain of losing her mother and had just recovered from a serious illness. In addition, she was far away from home and had to live under someone else's roof. She couldn't help feeling sad and cautious in everything she did.

The situation is different now. Daiyu has been mourning for her mother for three years and has basically come out of that painful time. In addition, her father is in good health and she has arranged a marriage with her beloved senior brother. She has someone to rely on and is no longer in the embarrassment of living under someone else's roof.

Moreover, after four years of practicing standing meditation, Daiyu became light and healthy, with a full spirit and energy. She exuded a sense of health and confidence, and looked more graceful and elegant.

After greeting the three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun, the old lady took Daiyu's hand and sat together. Looking at Daiyu's pretty face, she couldn't help but think of Daiyu's mother again, with tears in her eyes: "Among all my children, your mother is the one I love the most. She has left me now, and I haven't even seen her once. Now that I see you, how can I not be sad? You must stay here for two more years so that I can take a good look at you..."

Seeing that the old lady was about to cry again, Mrs. Wang hurriedly came up to change the subject. She took Daiyu's hand and couldn't help but sigh: "This girl, her body is healthy..."

The old lady also took Daiyu's hand and said, "It's better to be healthy, it's better to be healthy..."

At this moment, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the door: "I am late and have not welcomed the distant guests."

Hearing such laughter, and seeing that the maids and old women in the living room were holding their breath and not daring to breathe, Daiyu couldn't help but feel a little curious about the owner of the voice.

Then a group of maids and wives came in, escorting a person. The person was dressed differently from the other sisters, wearing a brilliantly embroidered dress, like a fairy concubine. She wore a golden silk eight-treasure bun on her head, a Chaoyang five-phoenix pearl hairpin, a pair of red phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow-leaf eyebrows, a fair face with a springy charm, and a smile that could be heard before her red lips opened.

The old lady couldn't help but smile when she saw the newcomer. She introduced the newcomer, "This is our ruffian, commonly known as Lazi in the southern province. You can just call her Feng Lazi."

Before coming to the Jia Mansion, Daiyu had done some research in advance and learned about the relevant people in the Jia Mansion. She immediately realized that the visitor should be Jia Lian's wife, Wang Xifeng, and immediately stood up and saluted, saying, "This is, I guess, Lian's second sister-in-law, right?"

Jia Lian ranked after Jia Zhu in the Rongguo Mansion, and people in the mansion called him Second Master Lian. Jia Baoyu was born to Jia Zheng, the second son of Jia Zhu, so people in the mansion called him Second Master Bao to distinguish Jia Lian from Jia Baoyu.

Wang Xifeng was delighted to see that Lin Daiyu recognized her, and said, "I never thought that my sister also knew me."

"Before coming here, I specifically asked my father."

In fact, Wang Xifeng is Mrs. Wang's niece. She was raised as a boy since childhood. She has a strong personality and is capable of taking charge.

Lin Daiyu is the only daughter in the family, and was also raised as a boy by her father Lin Ruhai. She has some similarities with Wang Xifeng: one is a talented housekeeper, and the other is a talented poet.

Because of this, Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu in the original novel always had a good relationship and could often joke with each other.

Although Lin Daiyu likes to argue with people, she also understands the ways of the world. Wang Xifeng is often laughed at by people in the mansion because she can't read a few words, but Lin Daiyu often defends her. Everyone works together. When Wang Xifeng starts, everyone else laughs, but Daiyu praises her.

Wang Xifeng gave the tribute of Siamese tea to everyone. Baoyu and Xue Baochai both gave bad reviews, but Sister Daiyu was the only one who praised it, giving Wang Xifeng enough face.

Facts have proved that even two people with different personalities and cultural levels can become good friends as long as they have resonance in some aspects.

Wang Xifeng looked Lin Daiyu up and down and also felt that she had a good impression of her. She could not help but praise her: "Look at her appearance and character. She doesn't look like the granddaughter of the old ancestor, but rather like the old ancestor's own granddaughter. Sister, don't miss home when you come here. If you need anything in the future, just tell me."

The women in the room chatted and laughed for a while, and then Mrs. Wang took Daiyu to other rooms to meet other relatives.

After a round, they returned to the backyard of Rongguo Mansion. It was already time for dinner. Daiyu also witnessed the grand banquet of this big family.

After dinner, the old lady asked everyone to leave and left Daiyu and the three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun to chat together.

As they were talking, a young man in gorgeous clothes with a face like a full moon walked in.

The old lady immediately said, "You've taken off your clothes before you even see the guests. Why don't you come over and meet your sister?"

The young man immediately came up to salute, and Lin Daiyu also stood up to return the salute, but she couldn't help thinking in her heart: Is this the cousin Jia Baoyu? It's just like what my senior brother said, he has a big face. Why is he still staring at me? How rude.

Jia Baoyu on the opposite side was staring at Daiyu in a daze, and forgot to speak for a moment.

Lin Daiyu was unhappy, but she didn't show it.

At this time, Jia Baoyu suddenly said, "I have seen this sister before."

Grandmother Jia couldn't help but say, "You're talking nonsense again. How could you have seen her?"

"Although I have never seen you before, I think you look familiar. Let's just treat you as an old acquaintance and today is just a reunion after a long separation."

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu felt that this cousin was too frivolous. Thinking of some rumors she had heard before, she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. As expected, her own senior brother is still the best.

At this moment, the old lady glanced at Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu sitting on both sides of her, and suddenly took their hands, wanting to put their hands together.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu retracted her hand and said, "Grandmother Rong Bing, Yu'er has already arranged a marriage."

The old lady's face froze when she heard this. She was a little incredulous: "You are still so young. When did you arrange your marriage? And which young man did you arrange it for?"

"He is my father's disciple, my senior brother, Lu Cheng."

Upon hearing this, the old lady slapped her thigh and said, "Why, why are you so anxious? You are still so young, how can you rush into a marriage?"

"Grandmother, I have been with my senior brother for many years. He loves me, pities me, and protects me. Although I am still young, I have already vowed in my heart that I will not marry anyone other than my senior brother. My father also likes my senior brother very much. He exchanged engagement letters for us a month ago and arranged our marriage."

When Jia Baoyu, who was sitting opposite, heard that this beautiful sister was already engaged, he was stunned for a moment, staring blankly ahead, and his right hand reached for the magical jade hanging around his neck.

Tanchun, who was sitting nearby, had a bad feeling when she saw this, and she quickly stood up and stared at Jia Baoyu.

Daiyu also found that something was wrong. She glanced at the silly Jia Baoyu and hesitated whether to get up and avoid him.

The next moment, Jia Baoyu suddenly stood up and ripped off the magic jade from his neck: "What magic jade? None of the sisters in the mansion have it, and this new fairy sister is... even engaged. What use is there for me to have this thing?"

As he spoke, Jia Baoyu threw the magical jade in his hand to the ground.

Daiyu was stunned. Is this a fool? My engagement has nothing to do with you. Why did you throw the jade?

Lin Daiyu didn't know that since Jia Baoyu was born with jade in his mouth, everyone in the mansion regarded the magical jade as Jia Baoyu's lifeblood and believed that the magical jade was closely related to Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu discovered this when he was very young. Whenever he threw the jade, everyone in the mansion would become very nervous and would do whatever he said.

Over time, Jia Baoyu got used to throwing the jade to attract people and get attention. Whenever he was not satisfied, he would pull the jade off his neck and throw it.

Now that he heard that Lin Daiyu was engaged, he was unhappy and performed the jade-throwing drama as usual.

Unfortunately, this jade-breaking move had no effect on Lin Daiyu, but instead aroused her disgust even more...
