The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 280 Meeting the Elders
No matter how Daiyu persuaded her, Baoqin would not respond. She knew that Daiyu had good intentions, but since she just got married, if she went to meet her elders in a sedan chair in such a ostentatious manner on the first day, people might gossip.

Daiyu knew Baoqin's scruples, so she couldn't help laughing, "Forget it, I won't persuade you, but after a long time, you will know that our mansion looks like a royal mansion, but because grandma and the others are generous, they don't have so many rules." Yes." While speaking, she deliberately slowed down so that Bao Qin could keep up.

Because she entered the mansion through Baochai, Baoqin was always afraid that Daiyu would have a bad heart. She didn't want this sister Lin to treat her as before and consider everything for her. She couldn't help feeling extremely grateful and told herself secretly, In the future, we must respect Sister Lin even more, only follow her lead.

While Baoqin was thinking about something, a group of people had arrived outside Songhe Hall. Daiyu reminded Baoqin, "When you see the concubine and concubine, remember to call you grandmother and mother. We don't pay attention to the old lady in our house." .”

Baoqin hurriedly thanked Daiyu for not mentioning it, and the two of them brought their maids to the door. Listening to the voices inside, Daiyu asked the gatekeeper, "Did grandma have breakfast?"

The servant girl bowed her body and said, "The concubine has already used the words of returning to the concubine, now I am talking to the concubine!"

When Daiyu heard that Mu Xu was also inside, she turned her head and joked to Baoqin, "See, our master is afraid that you will not get used to it for the first time, so he escorted you here."

Baoqin didn't dare to think so, and hastily denied it, "Sister is talking nonsense, the son said early in the morning that he would come to pay his respects to the concubine."

Daiyu wanted to say more when she heard Concubine Zhang's voice from the room, "Since Miss Lin is here, come in quickly, do you still want me to invite you?"

Daiyu opened the door curtain and raised her legs and walked in, smiling at the same time, "Don't dare to bother grandma, I'm here, and I brought sister Qin to see you."

Baoqin followed Daiyu into the room, looked up, and saw Concubine Zhang sitting at the top, with a few maids standing behind her, and a person sitting at the bottom, who could it be if it wasn't Mu Xu, this guy was grinning Looking at her and Daiyu eagerly.

Because of Mu Xu's presence, Baoqin's nervousness was relieved, and after greeting Daiyu together, she saluted Zhang Taifei alone, but fortunately Zhang Taifei was very easy-going, she didn't have any embarrassment, and she asked the girl to give She gave a meeting gift that she had prepared long ago.

After a few gossips, Concubine Zhang waved her hand and said, "Okay, Yu'er will take Qin girl to visit your mother, we will have more time to talk in the future." After finishing speaking, she smiled and asked Mu Xu, "Do you want to talk to me as you please?" Yu'er and the others go together?"

Mu Xu didn't want to make her grandmother laugh, so she resolutely refused, "I'll stay here to talk with grandmother, and let Yu'er and the others go on their own."

After hearing the words, Daiyu gave Mu Xu a blank look, and then took Baoqin to leave. The two of them spent another cup of tea and came to the outside of Princess Changning's courtyard. , "I have seen the concubine Shizi and Mrs. Xue, the concubine knows that you are coming, so she ordered me to wait here."

Daiyu introduced Hongxiu to Baoqin, and after the two had greeted each other, she walked towards the main room and asked casually, "What is mother up to now?"

Hongxiu, who was two steps behind Daiyu, replied, "The young prince wanted to eat custard, so the concubine ordered the kitchen to make a bowl and bring it to him. I'm afraid it will be fed to him!"

"Mother is too used to him, so what if he is older!" Daiyu said worriedly. Although Xu was naughty in front of him, he still had a degree.But once she arrived at Concubine Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she immediately changed her appearance and became lively, especially since she learned to walk, she climbed up and down every day, and she couldn't leave her side for a moment.

Princess Changning, who was feeding custard to her grandson, heard her daughter-in-law's complaints in the room, so she took up the conversation and said, "If Yu'er says that, why not bring Brother Mao with me when I return to Liaodong in the spring of next year. Presumably your father will be ecstatic to see his grandson."

Daiyu, who had already arrived in the room, replied indifferently, "Very good, I can save a lot of worry when this monkey is gone."

Princess Changning ignored her daughter-in-law's words, instead she lowered her head and teased Brother Mao, who ate his face full of egg crumbs, "Good grandson, your mother doesn't want you anymore, so you will be with grandma from now on?"

Brother Mao couldn't understand such complicated words, only heard that mother was mentioned in grandmother's words, so he raised his head and pointed at Daiyu with his little finger, and said in a childish voice, "Mother, mother!"

Daiyu took out the handkerchief in a funny way, wiped his son's face, then hugged him to the nurse beside him, and ordered, "Take Brother Mao to change clothes, and bring them back later."

After the nanny took her son away, Daiyu took Baoqin to pay respects to Princess Changning, then stood aside and watched Baoqin knelt down to her mother-in-law to salute her.

After finishing all the necessary procedures, Princess Changning looked at Baoqin whose forehead was slightly sweaty, and said a little bit unbearably, "The red-sleeved piano girl sit down and talk, Yu'er, sit down by yourself."

Baoqin didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly thanked Princess Changning before carefully sitting down.Daiyu, on the other hand, was much more casual. She sat down honestly, and when she thought of what her mother-in-law said just now, she smiled and joked, "Mother and child are connected. As soon as you hit the horse, you will see results immediately!"

Princess Changning explained, "Don't mention him soon, you may not know that Xu'er was very well-behaved and sensible when she was a child, and she never acted like a baby and cried like other children, so none of my sisters at that time did not envy me .” First she praised her son, then she rubbed her forehead and smiled wryly.

"But who would have thought that now that he has a son, his temper has started to come alive, and he has been pestering me every day for the past few days, insisting that I promise him to return to Liaodong next year. I was so troubled that I had no choice but to agree killed him."

Daiyu defended Mu Xu, "Mother also needs to understand us. It is because you have been away from Beijing for many years, and we miss you very much. Besides, you have also seen that Brother Mao can't do without you now. I recently I'm just worried, if you leave next year, this kid doesn't know how to make a fuss!"

Thinking of that scene, Princess Changning felt embarrassed for a moment, and finally had no choice but to change the subject, "Don't talk about this for now, girl Qin is still used to coming to the house?"

Bao Qin replied with a smile, "It's not the first time I've come here, so I'm naturally used to it."

"That's good. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Yu'er. I am too lazy to take care of the house's internal affairs. Everything will be decided by Yu'er."

Although Baoqin wondered why her cousin Baochai no longer took charge of the house's internal affairs, she didn't show any strangeness on her face, and said, "Then I will trouble Sister Lin, and then don't think I'm troublesome." Yes."

Daiyu said self-consciously, "It's okay, don't be polite to me, I'm afraid you won't come!"

Seeing Baoqin's performance, Princess Changning, who was sitting at the top, was quite satisfied with Baoqin's understanding. She also asked Baoqin about her family's situation for the first time. After learning that her mother was not in good health, she even said to Daiyu "Since girl Qin's mother is in disharmony, you can use my post tomorrow to ask Imperial Physician Yang, who treats the empress dowager in the palace, to come out of the palace to treat girl Qin's mother."

Daiyu nodded in agreement, while Baoqin hurriedly got up and saluted Princess Changning, "Thank you, mother, for your concern for my mother. Baoqin is very grateful."

"You don't need to be too polite. Don't talk about the two families." Such a trivial matter, how could Princess Changning take it to heart, and after letting Baoqin get up, she continued, "You are inconvenient today, so I won't keep you Come and talk to me tomorrow."

Coming out of Princess Changning's room, Daiyu said to Baoqin, "Congratulations sister, I think mother likes you very much!"

Baoqin was puzzled, "My sister must have made a mistake, I think Wang... Mother's attitude is just normal?"

But Daiyu whispered, "My younger sister doesn't know something. My mother is of noble birth, and she usually doesn't bother about other people's family affairs. Today, I actually asked about my younger sister's family and asked for an imperial doctor for my aunt. It can be seen that I really like you, otherwise Not so."
