The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

As expected of the Lord of Leping County, who was specially conferred by His Majesty, she is indeed gentle, polite and generous to others.

Jia Zheng smiled slightly, feeling much relieved. He hurried forward, bowed and clasped his fists, and said,

"Lord Leping, you are too kind. You were appointed by the imperial court and are a distant guest! Your presence in our Jia family is a great honor to us all. You should enter through the main gate."

"This……"

Lin Daiyu in the sedan chair couldn't help but hesitate.

Although she was deeply moved by the grand welcome from the Duke of Rong's Mansion.

But she was also confused as to why the Rongguo Mansion, her maternal family, would welcome her so grandly?

According to strict rules, even though Lin Daiyu was the daughter of Lin Ruhai of the imperial court and had just been conferred the title of county lady by the emperor, her status was respected.

But the Duke of Rong’s Mansion is not an ordinary family. It was built by imperial decree and was a gift from the emperor.

For this reason alone, high-ranking officials and dignitaries usually enter through the side door.

She is only a fifth-rank official, so what qualifications does she have to enter through the middle gate?

In fact, she didn't know that

When Jia She went to the dock to greet Lin Daiyu and her party this morning, the arrangement of the Rongguo Mansion was to only bring Lin Daiyu in through the west door.

This is the gate through which the family members and female relatives of the Duke of Rong enter and exit, which shows its intimacy.

However, when Lin Daiyu received the imperial decree to become the Lady of Leping County, Jia She immediately arranged for someone to summon her back to the Jia family.

After receiving this news, Jia Zheng only wanted to let Lin Daiyu's sedan chair enter through the east door.

The east gate is the east gate next to the middle gate.

Dongfang Xian is the most noble one, and all other dignitaries who come and go in the mansion of Duke Rong enter and exit through this gate.

I wanted to do this to show my respect for this niece whom I had never met and the gracious county lady.

However, after Jia Zheng reported the matter to Jia's mother, Jia's mother ordered Jia Zheng to open the middle door to welcome him without hesitation.

The reason was very simple, and it convinced Jia Zheng.

That is, the emperor sent his personal chief steward Dai Quan to wait at the dock for several hours to convey the imperial edict, and such a grand favor was bestowed upon him.

On the contrary, when he arrived at the Duke of Rong's Mansion, he was not even allowed to enter the main gate on his first visit.

Even if I am a junior, what would His Majesty think if he knew about this?

Could it be that the Jia family does not attach enough importance to the county lady appointed by the emperor?

Or is it that the county lady's in-laws are more powerful than the emperor's?

Jia Zheng broke out in cold sweat after hearing what Lady Jia said.

So he immediately ordered people to sweep the courtyard and open the main gate to welcome him, and also brought out all the clan members and guests in the mansion to make the occasion more presentable.

Rong Mama turned slightly sideways and whispered to Lin Daiyu through the curtain,

"Miss, the Rongguo Mansion is very kind and you should accept it both emotionally and logically. It is best not to let it down."

Anyway, it's not Qingfeng Village. Not to mention the middle gate of Duke Rong's Mansion, even if conditions permit, Rong Mama would dare to enter and exit the main gate of the imperial palace openly.

Lin Daiyu was also shocked and confused when she heard this.

She is just a little girl, how could she deserve such treatment from her in-laws?

But what Lin Daiyu didn't know was,

At a certain time and space, she also traveled alone north to the capital to live with her relatives at the Duke of Rong's mansion.

However, Lin Daiyu, who is also the daughter of Jia Min, the daughter of a local official in Yangzhou and a trusted minister of the emperor,

After arriving in the capital, let alone the grand reception at the Rongguo Mansion,

Even if she arrived at the Shenjing Wharf again, no one would pay any attention to her.

It was Lin Daiyu who hired the sedan herself and made inquiries along the way before she finally found the Rongguo Mansion on Ningrong Street.

After arriving at the place, not only were there no men from the outer courtyard to greet them, but even when entering the mansion, they had to go through the west corner gate where the servants and maids came in and out.

The only people who greeted her were a few curious maids from the Duke of Rong's Mansion and a nanny serving Lady Wang.

Grandmother Jia and a group of young ladies and ladies were all having fun in Rongxi Hall.

Even after meeting Lady Jia, Lin Daiyu wanted to meet her two uncles in person.
