Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 14 The wanderer returns home, and Daiyu enters the palace

Outside the capital city, the Tongzhou Wharf was already crowded with large and small wagons, making it difficult for pedestrians to pass.

But this is only for ordinary people.

When a group of sedan chairs arrived at the pier, whether it was a truck or a coolie porter, they all gave way to a road to allow them to pass.

Not because of anything else, just seeing that the group of people were obviously dressed in luxurious clothes, but they were dressed as deacon women, with several large sedan chairs carried by two people, and servants on horses escorted them, and they were fishing for food at the foot of the imperial city all year round. For food, I don't know that the nobles are going out.

Jia Ying led a group of people off the boat, and the accompanying servants had already approached them to explain the situation.

Not long after, I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a second-class housekeeper walking out of the crowd, walked up to several people, greeted Jia Ying and said, "Lin Zhixiao, the housekeeper of Rongfu, has seen Erye Ying, the old lady and two masters, Zhen The uncle sent a servant to take you back to the mansion."

Then he asked Daiyu, "Girl's greetings, she has been exhausted all the way."

Daiyu covered her face with a handkerchief, just nodded slightly, and didn't reply.

Jia Yingcai said: "Trouble housekeeper Lin and the other deacons, there are too many people here, it's not a place to talk, let's go back home now."

Lin Zhixiao didn't refuse, so he invited the two of them to get on the sedan chair together. On the other side, Yucun was hesitating where to go, but he heard Lin Zhixiao say, "Mr. Yucun also invited me together."

It can be seen that the government has well-arranged arrangements, and that Jia Yucun was able to meet him because of the honor of Jia Ying and Daiyu.

But Jia Ying said: "It's fine to ask sister Yu'er and Yucun to take a sedan chair, but I can't sit on it. If there is a horse or not, let me take one."

Why?Without him, only faint!

It turned out that Jia Ying had also taken a sedan chair before, but he always disliked the small space inside the sedan chair, especially this kind of small sedan chair for two people. Sitting up and down, it was even more uncomfortable than riding a boat.

Lin Zhixiao immediately called a servant to bring the horses and even them with Jia Ying.

A group of people left the pier in a mighty way, but they heard Lin Zhixiao and Zhou Siwu chatting together.

Both of them are family servants of the Jia family, although they are not common these years, but they have hung out together when they were young, so it is natural to recall and sigh when they meet now.

When he learned that Zhou Siwu joined the army with the second grandfather of the East Mansion, and also mixed up with a hereditary family, Lin Zhixiao couldn't help being envious.

Zhou Siwu has accumulated military habits, and he speaks straight. He just said: "It's just that there is no real shortage. When the master is here, he can still hold any official position. After the master leaves, I will also put out my hustle and bustle in the army." Intend."

Even so, Lin Zhixiao still lamented that with an official position, even if he did not get out of slavery, the treatment of being a servant would be different.What's more, he came out of the army with his master. If you don't see Jiao Da from the East Mansion, no matter how bad it is, the mansion has to support him.

Besides, at this moment, Jia Ying was riding on a horse and looking at the pointing crowd and the approaching capital city, she felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart, she really had the feeling of "Sister Lin entering Jia's mansion".

Jia Ying herself was a little puzzled by her state of mind. After thinking about it, she understood.

This is the Red Mansion after all!

I was born to be a decent descendant of the Jia family in this life, so it would be great if I could be reborn into an ordinary family!

Well, it's better to be like Leng Zixing, to be a quiet judge, isn't he good?
How tiring it is to have to go to the Department of Illusion and go to this purgatory!

Faced with such a current situation and such a Jia family, how should he deal with himself?
Originally, he also thought that Zuo Zuo himself was in southern Xinjiang, thousands of miles away from the capital, so he could simply hide from the world, but he felt passive and wasted this great opportunity to observe the prosperous world.

If you really don't want to stay in the valley, you can simply go to Beijing to find an official, and you can just open the government.

But his parents had to join the sect, not to mention, when he was young, the Jia family sent people to southern Xinjiang to pick him up.

What is the most important thing in life?Isn't it this kind of affection!There are people who read it when you are cold, someone who cares about you when you suffer, and someone who helps you when you encounter difficulties.

Just like that grandma Liu, if you enter the mansion and enjoy the autumn breeze, you can have a good year.

This is called - relatives!
But now that it was really the end, he felt worried again, how could he rewrite the ending with such a big family?

Just thinking about the trouble, Jia Ying caught a glimpse of Daiyu's official sedan chair, and said to herself, "Fortunately, there are people with the same state of mind as me."

After thinking about it, he rode his horse to the side of Daiyu's sedan chair, looking for comfort.

After all, you are in a bad mood, and there are others worse than you. If you think about it this way, will you be happier?

"Sister Yu'er!" Jia Ying shouted with a smile on her face.

Daiyu opened the curtain and asked, "Why is Second Brother calling me?"

Jia Ying said: "Sister Yu'er, why do you have to lock yourself in the sedan chair? Don't you want to know how the capital is? It's still a long way from the house, why don't you lift the curtain and look outside?"

Daiyu said angrily, "Second brother still has the heart to make fun of me!"

Then he said worryingly: "Second brother, I just feel that my heart is up and down at the moment. I don't know the people there. Will they like me? How is my temper? I don't know these things, so I don't even have the time to look outside. scene."

Seeing Daiyu's appearance like this, Jia Ying thought to herself, "Sure enough, there is really someone who can make things harder for me than me."

Jia Ying couldn't help but smile evilly, her heart suddenly became much lighter.

Daiyu was even more annoyed for a while, and scolded: "Second brother, you still laugh at me. Sure enough, no one cares about me. My mother is gone, and my father doesn't care about me anymore. Even you laugh at me."

After all, his eyes turned red and tears fell down his cheeks.

Jia Ying didn't know, why did she forget that this person came here to return tears, but she was not Shenying's waiter, okay, what did she do to tease her!
Hastily persuaded: "Good sister, it's all for brother, isn't it? If you don't want to watch it, then it's fine if you don't watch it. Don't make a fool of yourself by crying. You still have to meet people later!"

Daiyu herself didn't want to be bad in front of people, so she stopped.

Jia Ying couldn't help sighing: "It's said that my daughter's house is made of water, it's true! Look at this one in front of you, he comes as soon as he says, stops as soon as he says, even the Dragon King can't control him when he comes."

But in the end he was worried about Daiyu, and he said in relief: "Sister Yu'er doesn't need to think too much, and she doesn't need to care about other people, just know that the mansion does not forget that you are alone in Yangzhou, and you are not far away." Also take the grandmother you brought in, two uncles who are direct relatives, and a few cousins ​​who are about the same age as you.

No matter how bad it is, you still have me and your sister Sixian, I will never teach you to be lonely. "

Daiyu felt polite when she heard this, so she nodded first.

Jia Ying smiled slightly and said, "How about it, can you feel at ease now?"

How could Daiyu forgive easily, and said dissatisfied: "You are still an elder brother, why didn't you tell me these things earlier, but you just watched my jokes along the way, hmph."

Seeing this situation, Jia Ying knew that Daiyu had forgiven him long ago, but she didn't agree with her words, so she was relieved.

Along the way, Daiyu opened up a lot of chatter boxes, and from time to time pointed out the scenery of the capital.

If people have no worries, the time will pass quickly.

From Zhangjiawan to the capital city, the distance of more than ten or twenty miles is reached in the blink of an eye.

After passing Chaoyangmen, and walking a few miles, Ningrong Street is within sight.

As soon as you enter Ningrong Street, there are many bustling scenes of hawkers, fortune-tellers, singers, performers, and people shouting to greet customers.

The people on this street are probably used to seeing people in the mansion, and they recognized the sedan chair team of Jia's family from a distance, and they consciously divided the two sides to make way for the road, and at the same time, they were curiously looking at which nobleman returned to the mansion. up?There are a few more faces.

The housekeepers and wives in the Rong Mansion had been waiting at the door for a long time. As soon as someone showed up on one side, a servant on the other side ran back to report the news.

Another deacon came to guide the sedan chair team to enter from the west corner gate.

Jia Ying didn't follow to the West Corner Gate, but called Zhou Siwu and his son, and after explaining to him, he walked towards the gate. Right now, the main gate of Rong Mansion is half open.

Just as Jia Ying was about to climb up the stairs and enter, he only heard the faint sound of humming from the street outside, it seemed that the song was somewhat familiar.

Jia Ying quietly listened with her ears pricked up, then turned around and looked around.

Only then did I see a scruffy and limping Taoist in the crowd in the distance, humming the "good song" that wrote all the red buildings.

Jia Ying's eyes narrowed slightly, she walked up to take a closer look, took a few steps, but hesitated to stop.

The slovenly lame Taoist also seemed to look over, he stopped humming, and instead murmured something.

Jia Ying looked at the words on his lips, but it wasn't exactly the word "already".

"Second master!" The butler next to him called softly.

Jia Ying regained consciousness, ignored the Taoist, followed the housekeeper into the mansion through the main entrance.

Jia Ying didn't know what was going on with Daiyu, he was supposed to be the male heir of the family, so he should first go to the mansion to meet the patriarch and the head of the family, and then go to Xiyuan to pay his respects to Jia's mother.

As for why he didn't go directly to Ning Mansion, there are other opinions.

On the one hand, there are still elders at the level of ancestors living in Rongfu, and on the other side of Dongfu, Jia Zhen is a generation shorter than Jia Zheng and Jia She, and Jia Jing is not around, and for convenience, Jia Zhen led Dong All the members of the government simply came to Rongfu.

Rongxi Hall, all the descendants of the Jia family are here.

Jia Ying entered the room, and took the lead to pay homage to Jia She and Jia Zheng who were seated in the main seat: "My nephew pays respects to the elder master and the second master, and greets the two uncles."

"Get up, get up!"

Jia Zheng, a good old man and a true gentleman, spoke out first and helped Jia Ying up.

On serious occasions, Jia Amnesty never spoke much, especially this kind of sensational scene where the two generations reunited. They simply left it to the brothers to maintain the appearance, and they just nodded kindly to Jia Ying.

Jia Zheng stroked Jia Ying's shoulders and said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

Jia Ying smiled back, and said sincerely: "Let the second master remember it, it is my nephew who is unworthy."

Jia Zhenglian said: "Where is this, where is this! A family should be."

After finishing talking here, Jia Ying turned to Jia Zhen again, hugging her sleeves and saluting, "Greetings to Brother Zhen! Greeting to Brother Zhen!"

Jia Zhen is a person who doesn't do business, but the donkey dung is also smooth on the surface, so she just took Jia Ying's arm and said: "Brother, it's fine when you come back, so as not to worry about the elders and brothers at home. It's better to be at home than outside. Now we Brothers get together, so the house will be full of excitement."

But this is to say that in the Ning Mansion, the heirs are not as good as the Rong Mansion, and in the past they seemed a little thinner and colder.

That's why Jia Zhen didn't forget to take Jia Lian as a companion when she was fooling around.

　1. Talk about Jia Yucun’s entry into Beijing.

　　In the original book, Jia Yucun was on a boat alone, and did not enter Rongfu with Daiyu after arriving in Beijing.But because of Jia Ying's existence, there is such a change here.

　　2. Tell me about Lin Zhixiao.

　　In the original No. 20, the idiot daughter of the fourth chapter left Parra Acacia, which introduced the Lin family as servants of Jia's family through the side of Hongyu.However, on the eve of the decline of the Jia Mansion, when Wang Xifeng asked Lin Zhixiao and his wife to send Brother Qiao back to Wang Ren, there was another description that contradicted the previous one.

　　The general idea is: Wang Xifeng once told the Lin family couple that you came with me from Jinling's natal family.

　　The author believes that Wang Xifeng's description comes from the last forty chapters, which is a continuation of Gao E's writing, so the fourth chapter of No.20 still prevails.

　　3. There are many words of thanks to say.

　　Thank you for your support!I will continue to do my best!
