There must be a few useful people in the outer court. If they suffer a loss, at least there are some rude servants to avoid being too passive.

The itinerary of their trip, although it was said in the letter that they were going to go to their grandmother, was changed by Lin Zheng the day before they got on the ship.

After they got off the boat, they didn't intend to go straight to the Duke of Jia.

Lin Zheng rubbed Lin Ruhai to send a letter to the steward of the Lin family residence in the capital in advance.

Let the people of Yifu go to the wharf to pick up the little masters to the Lin family's own residence.

When he had packed up all his luggage and belongings at his hospital, Lin Zheng sent people and his grandfather's family to send a prayer post. After getting the letter, he paid a special visit.

As for the follow-up, temporary residence in Jia's house?

It depends on Lin Zheng's mood.

He has the final say when he lives and when he leaves.

Gu Zheng thought clearly about the reasons.

It's not convenient to be filial to your mother, even at your grandparents' house.

My grandmother is old and can't be stimulated by sad things.

The Lin family is clean and upright. When the relatives are gone, they must close the door and keep filial piety for their mother at ease.

Thinking of Lin Zheng here, he closed the "University" in his hand. Looking at the blue river, he knew that the wharf on the outskirts of Kyoto was coming.

"Bang! When!"

The ship was very flat. When the stern connected with the docking position on the wharf, Lin Zheng sitting in the cabin just shook slightly.

He was not in a hurry. He just looked at the ink, calligraphy and painting and tidied up his bookcase. When the old housekeeper outside the door told him, he lifted his robe and went out.

This land and water wharf in the suburbs of Beijing is actually a bit drier than that in the south of the Yangtze River.

The oncoming moist air brought a bit of dryness and heat on the edge of the capital.

People come and go on the dock where they are. No one has stayed for a moment because of the size of their pedestrian or even the official flag hanging on the bow of the ship.

Even the anti Bao masters who were squatting on the side of the wharf did not shrink back because of fear.

They just looked, and their eyes were full of knowledge of the boundaries of the capital.

Don't mention such foreign officials, even those of the country's princes and princes, don't they also have times when they don't take advantage of them?

Lin Zheng, who saw more than anyone, was speechless. Lin Daiyu, who followed his brother, was surprised by the unusual scene in the capital.

She flicked her little head behind Lin Zheng. Out of her daughter's reserve, she just secretly looked at the back of the Tuan fan.

But as soon as he got off the boat, the steward who received the letter greeted him early.

The cars, horses and sedans at the dock gate are all prepared for the little master of the Lin family.

Seeing that the pedestrian probably had no work, the more than a dozen people sitting around the door idly went to another docked ship.

After Lin Zheng and Lin Daiyu entered the Lin family's residence, the day was dark.

Lin Daiyu, holding a small bowl of honey fruit porridge, tilted her head and asked the sweet eldest brother next to her: "brother, listen to my mother, my grandfather's family is different from other families. It's a famous family in the capital of Beijing."

Lin Zheng choked when he said this. He could only use the pigeon Tang shunshun's voice to make his own answer for the innocent girl who believed everything others said.

"But it depends on what to say."

"Our grandparents have a better reputation, but I'm afraid it's not a good reputation."

"My brother is talking behind closed doors in the mansion. Only you and my brother and sister can know."

Seeing Lin Zheng's serious expression, Lin Daiyu couldn't help nodding.

Satisfied with the little Lori's cleverness, Lin Zheng went on to say, "our mother came from the Duke of Jia, and she really can be regarded as a noble son."

"But the Lin family is different from the Jia family. We are a scholarly family and a Qingliu family."

"Since the founding of the new dynasty, we can see the different attribution between the Lin family and the Jia family."

"The old master of the Lin family is able to help the country and ministers, while the grandfather generation of the Jia family took the road of Wu Xun."

"However, after the stage is peaceful, the ministers need to step down and work hard for stabilizing the country, enriching the country and strengthening the people."

"The ancestors of the Lin family retreated bravely in a hurry, and the purpose of attacking the Jue was quite firm."

"From my father's generation, it is equivalent to starting a family with white body. There are no other contacts except the aristocratic families and scholarly families in the south of the Yangtze River."

"My father took the road of taking the imperial examination as an official by virtue of his true talent and learning. He managed to succeed in both officialdom and scholar's fame."

"This is the only way to seek stability after the three dynasties. Even the Jia family of the Wu Xun family now wants to abandon Wu and follow Wen and take a safe road."

"Therefore, when your brother takes you to Jia's house, all the biases and unreasonable places you see have more or less the influence left by your grandfather."

"It's a pity," said Gu Zheng with a sigh. "At the beginning of my childhood, I met cousin Jia Zhu of my second uncle's family. Although he was too dignified and not broad-minded, he was the best reader of the Jia family's generation."

"If it lasts for a long time, a son's fame can still be obtained. If we make use of the relationship of the Jia family to find an appropriate real lack, we can maintain the dignity of the government at least."

"Unfortunately, I was seriously ill during the scientific examination a few years ago. After I came back, I delayed for a few months and went there!"

"Now it has become such a big government. There is no man who can support the doorpost."

"Only the unmasked cousin Yuanchun was ruthlessly sent to the palace by her mother, Mrs. Wang, to fight for a future for the men at home."

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu at the table couldn't even care about the food in the bowl. She put down her things and clenched her habitual silk handkerchief in her hand.

It seems that this way can ease a woman's tension about the unknown.

Seeing xiaodaiyu's reaction, Gu Zheng didn't stop his interpretation: "what he did was just the only legitimate blood of his second uncle's family, Jia Baoyu's future."

"Just because this family has spread his reputation of Zhong Xiu's intelligence and the spirit of poetry and songs, he has been sought after by the two uncle's staff."

"Let our grandmother, Lao Taijun Jia, have to agree with the actions of Erfang."

"Because I'm afraid my grandmother already knows that none of the men in the whole family can stand up."

"As for what you're worried about, because the different rules of eating and using will lead to the ridicule of your grandparents?"

Speaking of this, Gu Zheng gently put the white jade hollowed out Ivory chopsticks in his hand on the ivory chopsticks, laughing at the scenery Jiyue: "then don't worry."

"I'm afraid that if you learn from the past, you will have the reputation of integrity and elegance of our Lin family."

"Besides, it's useless to say more. When I arrived in Beijing today, I already made a prayer post. Tomorrow, I'll take you into the residence of the grandfather of the Jia family. Look more and think more. If you don't understand, just send four treasures to find me."

"Oh, I guess my grandmother wants us to stay in Jia's house for more time. My sister and I must not live together."

"I'll give you the four treasures among the four treasures of my study. At noon every day, when you take a nap, he will contact the big servant girl Dujuan who is responsible for taking care of the yard. If you want to entrust someone with anything, just tell him."

"If you want to see your brother, just tell him alone."

Looking at her eldest brother's advice, Daiyu nodded half confused and half ignorant. She always felt that her brother who was going to the grandfather's house was going to fight instead of visiting relatives.

Oh, forget it. My brother is determined not to harm himself.

Being raised was really good. It was not clear what was the cautious Lin Daiyu. With a little uneasiness, she threw all her questions behind her.

The next morning, I saw a burst of noise in the outer courtyard.

The regular Daiyu sat in front of the dressing table and casually asked the snow goose who grew up with her: "brother, what's this? Getting up early is noisy."

Just in time, Wenying, her big servant girl, opened the curtain and entered the door. She carried a basin of warm water for dressing up and answered for Lin Zheng.

"Miss, the young master of the outer courtyard is arranging an accompanying gift."

"It's strange to say that the maternal ancestral family is no better than the scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River."

"You should replace some of the elegant but not valuable things your father had prepared with worthless gold and silver."

"Ah?"

The braids behind her head had been scattered by snow geese. Daiyu's mouth opened slightly when she heard here.

How could a girl like her who doesn't show her teeth ever have such a gaffe.

"Poop!"

When she figured out why her brother did this, Daiyu smiled narrowly.

Her brother, Hello, really put the dislike of the Jia family on the surface.

When she put on the top-grade Bai Juan silk plain clothes made by her brother in the Jiangnan imperial weaving office, and hung a set of Donghai clear pearl gestures all over her body, the green dots on her temples were all white jade without any silver jewelry, which made Daiyu feel that she was valuable and a little uncomfortable, but she saw her eldest brother's clothes, At once, it was compared to some plain.

I saw the elegant childe who can go out with only a plain hair band or a white jade hairpin. Now he is dressed up like the top aristocratic family children in the capital.

On his head, he has a bundle of hair, jade entangled jade inlaid with East Pearl White Gold Crown, green gem and bamboo with the same color, a large embroidered robe with white plum in the snow, a long spike waist intertwined with gold and silver silk thread, green satin and black boots, which makes the prosperity elegant.

The day of his mother's death was only a hundred. Gu zhengleng dignified this too luxurious white with his elegance.

Coupled with the white horse with no trace of variegated color, the oil shed must be removed, and the horse riding on plain white linen cloth. The man sitting on the horse smiled at Daiyu with light on his back. The little girl understood that she and her brother were afraid to set off at this time.

Seeing such a big brother, Lin Daiyu's original discomfort faded a little.

It's just gorgeous royal clothes. The Lin family has never seen her before.

Daiyu, who was sitting in the car, immediately settled down.

When Lin Zheng arrived, he took a convoy of more than 20 or 30 people to the north of the street. There were two big stone lions at the door. Looking at Daiyu from the curtain of the door, he saw three beast head gates.

Outside the gate stood a dozen people, who were supposed to be waiting at the side door next to the main gate.

The double push has been opened there. The group is divided into two teams and is looking forward to it.

I don't know whose eyes are sharp. When I saw the Lin family's cars and horses, the steward could get together and drive Lin Zheng's horse into his hand first.

Lin Zheng, who was riding on the horse, smiled very gently and respectfully.

"Master Biao, my ancestors have been expecting you for a long time. They specially ordered the children to wait here and welcome you in."

Looking at the wide open side door, Gu Zhengwei picked up the corners of his mouth, but he said the right words very smoothly: "it doesn't hurt. Let's go first and talk about it. Don't let our ancestors wait."

After that, Lin Zheng took back the reins in his hand, turned over and got off the horse with an extremely beautiful posture, and personally stopped the horse driving for Daiyu without making a sound. However, when the Huading soft sedan that had already stopped at the side door came, he first let Daiyu into the pink one, lifted the curtain and sat in the blue one.

When the two were seated properly, the servants followed by the Lin family also packed the boxes and cages and picked them up with poles. As soon as they carried them, they followed behind the sedan chair.

Form a fish through the long dragon and merge into the mansion from the side door.

After walking to the outer courtyard, the last ten boxes ordered the steward to carry them to one side first, and eight people picked up four relatively exquisite ones and continued to walk together.

When they reached the crooked corner outside the first courtyard, the servants who carried the sedan chair dropped the two sedan chairs at the corner and all retreated. Several other mothers were in charge, attracting more than a dozen people like boys to take over the sedan chair, lift it up again and walk to the courtyard.

When the line came to a flower gate and fell, all the women stopped and dismissed all the young boys around. All the four niches of the Lin family also fell outside the door.

Lin Zheng, who could see the flower pendant gate from the gap, whispered: "wait here until I finish my communication, and then put things to my residence."

"Here!"

At this time, even the four schoolboys used by Lin Zheng could no longer follow. They stayed outside the door with several capable servants.

Seeing that the irrelevant people around had retreated far enough, a man in charge of the woman's dress stepped forward, opened the door curtain on the sedan chair for Lin Zheng and Lin Daiyu, and helped Lin Daiyu out of the sedan chair. The mammy standing in front of Lin Zheng's sedan chair wanted to do so, but Lin Zheng, who was not used to being touched by others, waved his hand and stopped it. As soon as he bowed down, he could get out of the sedan chair.

When the brothers and sisters stood still, they continued to move forward with the guide. There were hand copying corridors on both sides, and the hall was in the middle. There was a large insert screen of red sandalwood shelf marble in the local area.

Turning around the screen, there are three small halls. Behind the hall is the main courtyard behind. The five upper rooms on the front are carved beams and painted buildings, and the wing rooms of mountain corridors on both sides are hung with various parrots, thrushes and other birds.

On the nearby Taiji, there were several little servant girls dressed in red and green. After seeing the vast people in this line, they all looked happy and chattered to beg for some cleverness: "the old lady was reading just now, but she happened to come."

With that, three or four people scrambled to open the curtain cage at the front door, and replied, "Uncle Lin, Miss Lin is coming."

But seeing this scene, neither Lin Zheng nor Lin Daiyu moved forward. Instead of going forward to make fun, Lin Zheng took a step back.

"Go and help me find it. There are irrelevant people in the house? How can such servant girls have such unruly rules."

Although she was plain, she still felt that Daiyu was more gorgeous. How could she feel that the lights on these little servant girls were as dazzling as red and willow green? Her heart was powerless, and her legs and feet naturally resisted.

The position of her grandmother, who had never seen her before, also fell by three points.

Seeing the serious expression on Lin Zheng's face, several clever little servant girls were stunned on the spot.

Originally, some of the Lin family's brothers were secretly aiming at them. At this time, the pretty pink face was red and white, not wronged.

Perhaps Lin Zheng's voice was not light, and the Jia mother in the inner room had heard the news.

After only a moment, the old lady heard a voice that was half like and half angry: "how old are you, skinny monkey, so circuitous?"

"Grandma, there were some outsiders here. They were all relatives and sisters at home. Come in and see how many times I don't rub you!"

Hearing Jia's mother shouting like this, Lin Zheng smiled.

As soon as he lifted his robe, he took three or two strides and went straight into the inner room.

Seeing only two young servant girls supporting Jia's mother, she greeted her.

"Grandma!"

Not wanting to repeat the old story, Lin Zheng, who made Daiyu sad, helped Jia's mother over. Without waiting for the other party's hearty cry, he pulled Daiyu behind him to the opposite seat in advance.

He kept saying, "grandma, don't be sad. You see, my sister and I are standing in front of you all the time."

"The battles outside are full of flowers. At this age, grandma should not be happy or sad. She should be as happy as usual."

"I don't have to make you seriously ill because of the sadness of the younger generation."

Look, how appropriate the words were. The Jia's mother, who was ready to hug Lin Zheng and Lin Daiyu in her arms, was stunned on the spot.

Oh.

Lin Zheng turned his eyes very darkly, but saw that the two aunts sitting on both sides of Jia's mother had stood up early and were ready to cry with Jia's mother. The handkerchief held by his eyes was ready, but he didn't know whether he should continue to press it in the corner of his eyes.

"Oh, grandma, sit down!"

Lin Zheng's men kept smiling and pressed Jia's mother back to the master's chair. With Lin Daiyu, they finished the elders' ceremony in a regular manner, just as nothing had happened, and continued this sentence.
