My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 45 Entering Jia’s Mansion for the Second Time
When Jia Yu came out wearing new clothes, Lai Da was stunned.

He never expected that Jia Yu would change into a set of regular clothes.

He wears a black gauze hat, a collared shirt and a belt, and a ferocious and lifelike Biao is embroidered on the patch on his chest.

Coupled with a sword hanging on his waist and Jia Yu's solemn expression, he immediately gave people a feeling of calmness and self-power.

"This this……"

Jia Yu asked calmly: "What, Butler Lai, what's wrong with my official uniform?"

"No no……"

Lai Da lowered his head and did not dare to speak any more.

But my heart sank.

He really couldn't figure it out. It was clear that more than a month ago, this young man was just a desperate young man, begging to see him in the ice and snow.

But dozens of days passed, and the once down-and-out young man not only transformed into a sixth-grade military attache of the imperial court, but also became the Commander of the Military and Horse Division in charge of the security of the East City.

Such a huge contrast made him unable to adapt for a while.

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten something?"

Lai Da suddenly thought of something, and then his body shook violently, and a layer of cold sweat instantly oozed from his forehead.

"By the way, more than a month ago, this young man seemed to have been seriously injured in front of the Rongguo Mansion. With his character, he would never let it go."

When he thought of this, Lai Da felt that his legs were a little weak.

Jia Yu didn't know Lai Da's psychological activities. He took out a big box from the house, got on the bay red horse given to him by Feng Tang and galloped towards Ningrong Street.

Two-quarters of an hour later, he and Lai Da arrived at the east corner gate of Rongguo Mansion and passed through the hall.

Along the way, I met many maids, slaves and women. When I saw Jia Yu, who was wearing dark green uniforms and holding a sword at her waist, she entered with a look of surprise.

Many people were talking in low voices for a while, and some well-informed people spread the news on the spot.

"Look, this is the young man who came to our house from the Twelfth House of Jinling a few days ago. It's just that it was said that he was almost beaten to death by the second son of Yu Xin's family."

"But why did he put on official uniform? Look at this guy, he seems to be a sixth-grade military attaché."

"you do not say."

One of the servants who disagreed with Yu Xin gloated: "Yu Xin's family is going to suffer, and this man is determined not to let him go."

Jia Yu glanced at Rongguo Mansion with a faint expression on her face, and secretly thought that it was worthy of being a century-old palace, with pavilions, vermilion eaves and green eaves, flying eaves and brackets, and it was majestic and majestic.

Lai Da led the way and introduced: "Now we are going to Rongqingtang, the old lady's residence.

Now, the old lady, Mr. Zheng, Mr. She, and Mr. Zhen and Mr. Lian from the east courtyard are all waiting for you there. "

Lai Da secretly looked at Jia Yu's face while introducing him, and found that he still looked plain after his introduction, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

It stands to reason that even though this young man has become a sixth-grade military attache, he is still far behind compared with Rong Guofu.

When you hear that the old lady and all the gentlemen are waiting, shouldn't you be flattered? Why are you still so calm?

Lai Da really couldn't understand.

But whether he knew it or not, they still came to Rongqing Hall.

As Jia Mu's daily resting place, compared with Rongxi Hall, Rongqing Hall is less solemn and more life-like.

Under the guidance of Lai Da, Jia Yu entered the courtyard, holding the box in her left hand and holding a sword in her right hand and stood at the foot of the stone steps in the atrium.

He looked up and saw a red gold wooden plaque hanging on the lintel of the three main halls, with three powerful characters "Rongqing Hall" written on it.

On the left and right sides of the main entrance of the lobby stood a maid and a mother-in-law.

"Sir, please wait a moment while I report to the old lady."

Lai Da said sorry, crossed the threshold, opened the bamboo curtain, entered the hall, walked around several screens, and went to report to Jia Mu.Soon, Jia Zheng, wearing a green shirt, came out.

Seeing Jia Yu standing at the door wearing the uniform of a sixth-grade military attache and standing erect, she couldn't help but be startled.

He seemed unable to associate the military attache in front of him, who was at the same level as him, with the down-and-out young man from more than a month ago. The word "nephew" was originally on his lips and he could not say it.

It was Jia Yu who greeted him first: "Jia Yu has met your Excellency."

Seeing Jia Yu saying hello, Jia Zheng smiled: "So it's... Jia..."

Jia Zheng didn't know how to address the other party for a moment, and couldn't help but feel speechless.

Jia Yu noticed his embarrassment and said with a smile, "You're welcome, sir. Just call me nephew."

"Then I'm welcome." Jia Zheng also calmed down, "In that case, you don't have to call me Sir, just call me Uncle Shi."

"Then my nephew is more respectful than obedient."

The two settled on each other's titles as they spoke.

But Jia Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional in her heart.

More than a month ago, he called Jia Zheng "sir", and the other party accepted it as a matter of course.

But now the other party insists on changing the relationship between the two parties to uncle and nephew.

It seems that the distance has been shortened, but in fact this is a change based on the changes in the status of both parties.

Seeing Jia Yu accept this title, Jia Zheng showed a satisfied smile on his face:
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear nephew. Please follow me in quickly. The old lady has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

When the two of them approached, the woman at the door opened the bamboo curtain, and the two of them crossed the threshold and entered the hall. They then walked around several screens and came to a larger flower hall.

Then he saw an old lady with gray hair half lying on a beauty couch, and next to the couch was a small round table with several seasonal fruits placed on it.

As soon as Jia Zheng entered the flower hall, he shouted loudly: "Mom, I have already welcomed Brother Yu in."

The old lady quickly said: "Yuanyang, help me up quickly."

A tall maid next to her helped her sit up after hearing this.

At this time, Jia Yu finally saw Jia Mu's appearance clearly.

I saw Mrs. Jia with a kind-hearted face, a few lotus velvets on her head, and a handful of large copper beads in her hand.

Wearing a dark red satin cotton-padded jacket, a large green satin mink fur vest on the outside, and a yellow-green leopard velvet lining, revealing half a pair of snow-white velvet rolled trousers underneath.

Jia Yu quickly glanced around with her peripheral vision. There were more than ten men and women sitting on both sides of Jia Mu. It was obvious that these people were the masters of the Jia family.

At this time, everyone's eyes were turned to Jia Yu, who had just entered.

In the eyes of everyone, this young man wearing dark green uniforms with Biao embroidered on his chest patch stood tall and tall.

He has a handsome face, although he is not as handsome and delicate as Jia Baoyu, nor as good as Jia Lian, Jia Rong and others.

But just standing there, the whole person has a feeling of being as still as a mountain. With his long body and upright face, his face is resolute, and a strong and unflappable air comes to his face.

This made everyone in the Jia family who were used to seeing Yingying Yanyan and the smell of rouge and gouache feel like their eyes were shining brightly.

Especially Jia Mu, she seems to have seen a bit of what her deceased husband looked like when he was young.

Jia Yu took two steps forward and bowed slightly, "Jia Yu, please greet the old lady of Rongguo Mansion!"

"Exemption."

Jia Mu calmed down, waved her hand, and said with a smile: "You are Brother Yu from Jinling, right?

He is indeed a good man from my Jia family, and he is indeed a talented person. "
