Chapter 78 Meeting Jin Chai for the first time "Ancestor."
Yuan Chun saw Jia Mu at the door of the house and called out with a slightly embarrassed expression. The current situation seemed a bit like a private meeting with her lover, and it was also the kind of being broken into. How could Yuan Chun not feel shy.
Jia Mu nodded gently but didn't say anything. After all, she heard Yuanyang say that Shuirong led him here.
Looking at Shui Rong, Jia Mu bowed and saluted, "I have met the prince."
Shui Rong knew from Yuan Chun's name that the person in front of him was the old lady of Jia Mansion. What's more, even if Yuan Chun didn't shout, any fool could guess who the old lady was surrounded by.
"Old lady, you don't need to be polite."
After all, Jia's mother is Yuanchun's grandmother, and she is also Shuirong's grandmother in name. Seeing her salute, she will naturally treat her politely.
After a while of greetings, Shui Rong and Jia Mu sat down at the main seat of the house. Shui Rong's position was on the left side.
Jia Mu glanced at Shui Rong and asked softly: "The front hall is busy, is it okay for the prince to hide in a corner for a while?"
Jia's mother didn't pay much attention to Shui Rong's private search for Yuanchun, but Shui Rong was the protagonist of this banquet, so it would not be good to sneak out.
Shui Rong heard the words and said indifferently: "I drank too much and my head is a little swollen and painful. It will be fine if I rest for a while."
With his status as such, how can others really blame him?Besides, he did drink a lot of wine with me. Seeing that Shuirong said that his head was a little swollen and painful, Jia's mother hurriedly called out: "Yuanyang, go and ask someone to bring Hangzhou syrup to relieve the prince's hangover."
Hangzejiang is a refreshing drink that can clear away phlegm, dampness and heat in the body and naturally relieve hangovers.
Upon hearing this, Shui Rong waved his hands and said, "Old lady, don't bother me. I can rest for a while."
Jia Mu smiled and said: "My lord, you are a rich man, so you can't neglect it. It's better to eat this."
Faced with Jia Mu's enthusiasm, Shui Rong responded with a smile. Although Jia Mu was the legitimate daughter of the Hou family and an old lady in the Duke's palace, Shui Rong's status as a royal family had to be respected by her.
After ordering people to get the glutinous rice juice, Jia Mu looked at Shui Rong and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not an outsider. It happens that the juniors in the mansion are also here. They are all sisters of the eldest girl. Let them pay your respects to Your Majesty."
In the eyes of Jia's mother or the Jia family, Shui Rong is the virtuous son-in-law of the Jia family. Naturally, he is not considered an outsider and does not need to be guarded. This also means that he is close.
Upon hearing this, Shui Rong looked at the group of warblers in front of him. These were the golden hairpins in the original work. Shui Rong happened to be interested, so he said, "The old lady said something serious. There is no need to ask for your regards. Just meet them."
Hearing this, Jia Mu lowered her head slightly and looked around. Baoyu had been waiting in front of the door before and had met Shuirong, so she excluded him.
Immediately he waved, and upon seeing this, a beautiful woman hurriedly came forward.
"Your Majesty, this is the eldest girl's second sister, her name is Yingchun."
Welcoming the Spring Festival, he bowed and said, "I have met the prince."
Shui Rong came back to his senses and looked at Yingchun. She was wearing a green and white collared jacket with light green plaid and colorful polka dot prints, a white cross-collared jacket, and a horse-faced skirt with light gray, purple, and light green piping. She looked very attractive. Quiet style.
The body is slightly plump, but the overall body is very well-proportioned, akin to plumpness, and the face is as smooth and supple as a baby's, pink and tender.
"The skin is slightly plump, the figure is in the middle, the cheeks are fresh and smooth, and the nose is greasy.", the description is not bad.
Shui Rong knew that she was honest and incompetent, cowardly and fearful, and was nicknamed "Er Wood". Looking at her gentleness and silence, she actually looked cute.
Taking off the money belt from his waist, Shui Rong took out two taels of gold nuggets from it, handed it over and said, "Speaking of which, I am also your brother-in-law, so naturally I have to give you a meeting gift. Please be careful, second sister, please accept it."
Since he was here to attend the engagement party at the bride's family, how could Shui Rong not prepare a meeting gift? The money bag was filled with two taels of gold nuggets, just for giving away.
Hearing this, Jia's mother smiled and called herself brother-in-law, and called her second sister Yingchun. Obviously, she did not regard herself as an outsider, and her status as Shui Rong represented her recognition of Yuanchun and the Jia family.
Yuan Chun, who was sitting next to Jia's mother, felt a little shy when he heard Shui Rong's name. He could not help but take a peek at his future husband. His future husband was first-class in appearance and his words were as close as a spring breeze.
Yingchun raised her eyes to look at Jia Mu, and when she saw her gently chin, she stretched out her hand to take it, and said again, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shui Rong didn't say anything when he heard this. He could only say that the Spring Festival was indeed as described in the book.
However, in this situation, an old woman was introducing a group of daughters. Such a long-lost familiarity made Shui Rong feel a little strange.
Mother Jia frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied. The prince already claimed to be brother-in-law and showed his closeness, so how could he still call him prince? Alas, the second girl was still too dull. If she had known this, she would not have been the first to say hello. Something was wrong.
Thinking of this, Mother Jia raised her eyes and looked at the little girl with baby fat cheeks, beckoning: "Girl Yun, come here."
Shui Rong raised his eyes and looked over. The little girl was wearing a bright red and colorful satin face-breasted jacket, a white cross-collar middle coat, and a pink long skirt. She was quite festive and perfectly matched with today's atmosphere.
"Hello, brother-in-law."
Xiangyun came so close that she didn't need Jia Mu to introduce her. She greeted her sweetly. Her big eyes twinkled as if she could talk. Her small red lips and the white color of her skin were even more distinct. Her pair of small dimples were evenly matched. are distributed on both sides of the cheeks, with a slight smile, the dimples are looming on the cheeks, as cute as a fairy.
Seeing this, Mother Jia pursed her lips and smiled, turning her eyes to Shui Rong and introducing: "Your Majesty, this is my grandniece and the eldest girl's cousin. The one who came here with her aunt today, her name is Xiangyun."
Shui Rong nodded slightly when he heard the words. How could he not know that Shi Xiangyun, a girl from the Shi family, looked like a lively, cheerful and forthright little girl, quite pleasing to the eye.
Seeing this, Shui Rong took out a golden mule and said with a smile: "Sister Yun, please accept it."
Xiangyun took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Brother-in-law, Xiang Yun's cry was very sweet, which made Shui Rong feel better. After all, facing a lively and cheerful little girl, even if she didn't say she liked her, at least she wouldn't be Jia looked at Xiangyun with a satisfied expression. After all, there was a difference between the sisters. Xiangyun was much smarter.
Suddenly, a well-dressed woman walked in with a young man, with a smile on her face. After entering the room, she carefully moved to the side.
Jia Mu, who was sitting in the hall, frowned when she saw the person coming, but because Shui Rong was present, she immediately returned to normal and ignored it completely.
Shui Rong naturally saw it too. The young man brought by the woman was Jia Huan. In addition, everyone was more or less strange, which made Shui Rong understand the identity of this woman. She was probably someone who was hated by everyone in the Jia family. Aunt Zhao.
Seeing Aunt Zhao bringing Jia Huan over, she probably knew from somewhere that everyone was there, even Baoyu was there, so she was so competitive that she came with Jia Huan with an attitude of not losing out. .
Shui Rong didn't care about this. After all, Aunt Zhao wasn't messing around. She just came to watch the fun.
But having said that, this Aunt Zhao has a good appearance and a smell of semen on her body. It is no wonder that she has a vulgar personality, is ignorant, and loves to make trouble, but she is favored by Jia Zheng, takes concubines, and is a typical person who feels comfortable. Others don't care so much.
"Yu'er, come here." Mother Jia ignored Aunt Zhao who sneaked in and continued to greet her.
Shui Rong raised his eyes and looked at the little girl who came from Pingting with a pink embroidered handkerchief in his hand. She was wearing a pink blue satin embroidered robe with bamboo leaves and plum blossoms on it, and a white embroidered horse face skirt underneath. The little girl is not as elegant as her age.
His eyebrows are like spring mountains, seeming to be entangled, his eyes are like autumn water, like a pool of clear water, and there is a faint breath of books between his eyebrows. His small lips are as red and shiny as cherries, delicate and tender, his shoulders are as if they were cut into shape, and his waist is as tight as a waist. Su, the lotus steps come like a weak willow supporting the wind.
"Your Majesty, this is my granddaughter, the eldest girl's cousin, the daughter of Yangzhou Salt Patroller Lin Ruhai, her name is Daiyu."
Shui Rong lowered his head slightly when he heard the words. The first time he took a look at the little girl, he guessed, "The eyebrows look like a frown but not a frown, a pair of eyes that look like happiness but not happiness, and she breathes slightly, like a weak willow in the wind. , the heart is one more orifice than the stem, and the disease is like Xizi, which is three points better."
Looking at it now, there is a natural and romantic attitude, which reminds Shui Rong of Bai Juyi's poem: "Cherry fan Su mouth, willow waist, dark green eyebrows, thickened skin like snow.".
Daiyu came very close, her smart eyes turned slightly, her lips parted slightly, and she said, "I have met...brother-in-law."
Its voice is delicate and delicate, like the trickle of spring water.
Shui Rong nodded, took out the golden nugget, and handed it over.
Daiyu stretched out her fair-skinned catkin and took it. Just when she was about to say thank you, she heard the prince say warmly: "Look at Sister Lin, she seems to be a little more delicate."
Although Daiyu has an unparalleled appearance and rare beauty, her figure is too delicate, and she seems to be panting slightly when she takes a few steps closer. Anyone who is not blind will know that she has a deficiency.
Daiyu's heart tightened slightly when she heard this. She couldn't help but hold the pink embroidered handkerchief in her hand. She pursed her lips and raised her eyes to meet the prince's gaze. It seemed that there was a feeling of pity in it. She couldn't help but feel relieved. She said in a somewhat sad tone: " I have been weak and sick since I was a child, and I have been taking medicine since I could eat. To this day, I have asked many doctors to prepare prescriptions and medicines, but nothing works."
Shui Rong knew that Daiyu was frail and sick. He pondered and said in a warm voice: "Although I am not a doctor, I am familiar with some medical science. Like Sister Lin, she should be overthinking. She still needs to pay more attention in the future and focus on nursing." .”
From Shui Rong's point of view, the reason why Daiyu's deficiencies are not cured is because she is a sensitive person. Whenever something happens, she will worry about it in her heart. How can she not waste her mind?
If you think too much, even the elixirs and elixirs will not be effective.
Daiyu felt inexplicable when she heard this. This kind of earnest instruction like an elder couldn't help but make her feel strange.
After a deep groan, Daiyu Fushen responded: "Thank you for your concern, brother-in-law."
At this time, Jia Mu sighed softly, looked at Daiyu with loving eyes, and said distressedly: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. This child has lost his mother since he was a child. He is pitiful. My son-in-law is also thoughtful and has no intention of continuing the marriage. Seeing that this granddaughter had no one to look after her, she took her to the mansion to educate her."
Shui Rong nodded gently and didn't say much. After all, this was someone else's family matter.
Next, Jia Mu introduced Xue Baochai.
Today, Xue Baochai is wearing a pink printed collared long coat and a pink pleated skirt, looking pink and pretty.
"Meet my brother-in-law."
Baochai thought about it for a moment, then she stood up and called her brother-in-law.
Shui Rong looked at the pink Baochai. This was the second time he and Baochai met. She was beautiful and elegant, no worse than others.
I still remember that Shui Rong was still planning to bring her into the palace during the draft, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Shui Rong was given a marriage before the draft started, so he didn't have time to plan for him to be admitted into the palace.
Now Baochai is also a sister-in-law in Shuixun. She is not married yet, so she is thinking about her sister-in-law. Where is Zhi Yuanchun? Even if you have an idea, at least you have to wait for a while after getting married to avoid the limelight.
So Shui Rong, as gentle as ever, took out the golden piece and handed it over, calling Sister Bao affectionately.
Not long ago, she was Miss Xue, but now she is Bao's sister. She has been demoted a generation for nothing, which makes Baochai feel inexplicable.
But Baochai couldn't say much, so he resigned. Aunt Xue on the side suddenly felt bad when she saw this.
Yes, this matter has come to nothing.
After introducing Baochai, Jia Mu's expression became more and more friendly, and she greeted with a smile: "Third girl, come and meet the prince."
When Tanchun heard the words, his jade cheeks were slightly drunk, and he came to Pingting with lotus steps.
Shui Rong looked at the visitor, wasn't this the little girl who was in Yuanchun's house earlier...
