[005] Lin Daiyu enters Jiafu
Jia Zheng asked the kitchen to prepare a large table of delicious food to entertain Jia Dairu and Jia Chen.
Jia Dairu had never enjoyed such good treatment, so he naturally knew that this time he was benefiting from Jia Chen.
Jia Zheng frequently picked up food for Jia Chen, and surprised the maids and servants who stood beside him.
In the past, Jia Zheng had never cared so much about any junior. Even his biological son Jia Baoyu had never eaten the dishes that Jia Zheng had picked himself.
When Jia Dairu saw that Jia Chen was so valued by Master Zheng, he felt very relieved and felt honored. He naturally felt a sense of pride. After all, Jia Chen was his student, and the prospects of his students mean that he taught well.
On the other side, four rough women replaced the servant at the door of the second door, carried the sedan chair into the back house, and walked to the door of Rongqing Hall before stopping.
The maid Xueyan went up and lifted the flower curtain in front of the sedan chair. A young girl with a delicate figure sat inside.
"Miss Lin, we're here." Xue Yan called out softly, and reached out to help the little girl out of the sedan chair.
The bright sunshine was a little dazzling, the little girl narrowed her eyes, and her delicate smoky eyebrows also frowned slightly.
A maid lifted the curtain of Rongxi Hall, walked out, and smiled:
"Miss Lin, the old lady is welcome."
Lin Daiyu looked in the sound and saw the maid wearing a water red silk jacket, a green satin vest, and a white silk sweat towel.
The waist is cut off, the shoulders are cut, the face is eggy, the black hair is black, the tall nose, and a few faint freckles on both cheeks.
Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my sister is spreading it."
The maid smiled generously and said, "Miss Lin is polite, just call me Yuanyang."
This mandarin duck has a dignified manner and is well-behaved. Although he is a maid, he has the cultivation of a ladylike family. Lin Daiyu secretly praised him, not only sighing that the Jia family is worthy of being a dual-country duke, but even the maid is so outstanding.
I think this Yuanyang should be Jia Mu's personal maid. Lin Daiyu didn't dare to underestimate her and said with a smile:
"Okay, then I'll call you Sister Yuanyang."
Yuanyang was also secretly shocked. This girl Lin seemed to have a delicate and sick feeling, but she was pure and refined. She was not like an mortal woman, but like a fairy who came down to the earth to overcome tribulation.
"Miss Lin invites you in. The old lady has been waiting for a long time." Yuanyang turned sideways and lifted the door curtain.
Lin Daiyu nodded slightly, and accompanied by Xueyan, walked into Rongqing Hall slowly with lotus steps.
At the same time, a servant hurried into Rongxi Hall and politely said to Jia Zheng:
"The second master, Jia Yucun, the Jinshi master who escorted Miss Lin to the mansion, sent a message to him and wanted to visit him."
Jia Zheng took the call and looked at it, and ordered: "Come in quickly, don't neglect the distinguished guests."
"Yes!" The servant took the order and left. After a while, he led a scholar with a round waist, thick back, wide face, square mouth, sword eyebrows, starry eyes, straight nose and cheeks, and a scholar.
The scholar politely said:
"My nephew Jia Yucun pays homage to his second uncle."
Seeing that he was handsome and spoke well, Jia Chen sneered in his heart that this guy had a good face, but unfortunately he was a profit-oriented, sinister and cunning despicable villain.
From Jia Yucun's attitude towards Yinglian, you can see this person's cruelty and ruthlessness.
Yinglian's father Zhen Shiyin once helped Jia Yucun and also helped him to go to Beijing to take the exam. However, Yinglian was in trouble, Jia Yucun was so worried that he would not save him. He was such a conscientious beast.
Jia Zheng saw Jia Yucun's wide face, square mouth, bright eyebrows, straight nose, square cheeks, round waist, thick back, and looked up high, and said with a smile:
"My dear nephew is here from afar, and the journey is exhausted. Please sit down and have a meal together!"
"Thank you, my second uncle. It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful!" Jia Yucun did not give in, but sat at the dining table very casually.
This is not because he is ignorant of etiquette, but because he has figured out Jia Zheng's temperament.
Jia Zheng is a straightforward person, has no scheming, has a bit of true nature, likes to go straight and not like to be pretentious. If he pushes and acts in a slut, he will be disgusted.
Jia Yucun's little thoughts have been seen through by Jia Chen, but he did not say them out. Now he has no power or power, and he is a slight person, so he can only be cautious in his words and actions. When he passes the senior high school in the future, he will be the slaughter of the officials and then deal with Jia Yucun and other villains who are ill-intentioned.
Jia Yucun originally came to beg Jia Zheng to help him recommend him to be an official, but he knew that it was not appropriate to talk about this matter when he was having a meal, so he only talked about the romanticism and not the officialdom, citing classics and showing off his talents and learning, so as to enhance his weight in Jia Zheng's mind.
Although Jia Yucun is a shameless villain, he does have real talent and knowledge. In just one meal, Jia Zheng was amazed and looked at him with great eyes.
Jia Zheng smiled at Jia Yucun with great appreciation:
"I am very happy that my nephew is familiar with the past and the present and knowledgeable. To be honest, most of the children of the eighth house in the Jia family are unfilial and have no one willing to study hard.
Chen'er was only nine years old and had already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics. I really hope that he will be able to achieve the title of Jinshi like his nephew and glorify his ancestors."
Jia Yucun was shocked when he heard this. When he was nine years old, he had only memorized half of the Analects of Confucius, and was regarded as a child prodigy by the ten miles away. However, he did not expect that there were such young talents in this arrogant and extravagant Jia family.
"I wonder if the second uncle, who is the name of that genius boy and where is his current residence?" Jia Yucun asked in surprise.
