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

"Sister-in-law, please get up quickly. No need to be so polite!"

Wang Xifeng stood up with a smile and said,

"The old ancestor was delighted to learn that the county lord was coming today!"

"Just half a month ago, he ordered the family to prepare everything, and also ordered me to clean up the best Furong Courtyard next door and give it to the county lady to live in."

"Until just now, I was barely able to see him. I was unable to greet him. I hope the county lord will forgive me!"

Wang Xifeng's words not only praised her own contributions, but also demonstrated the importance that Lady Jia and the entire Jia family attached to Lin Daiyu.

This made Lady Jia very happy. She pointed at Wang Xifeng and scolded her,

"Listen everyone, this monkey is trying to boast about his achievements!"

"But you've been so busy these days, and you must be tired."

Wang Xifeng looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile on her face, then looked at Jia Mu and said,

"Look at what the old ancestor said. It is my honor to have the county lady come to our house and to personally decorate her residence!"

Then he smiled and said to Lin Daiyu,

"If the county lord comes to live here, if there's anything wrong, just send someone to come and take care of me!"

Although Lin Daiyu understood that Wang Xifeng was deliberately seeking credit, before entering the mansion, Rong Mama had already told her that because of her current identity, many things would be different after entering the Jia family.

But Wang Xifeng's jokes still make people feel good about her!

She came north from Yangzhou this time because her cousin Jia Lian personally traveled thousands of miles to Yangzhou to meet her.

Along the way, Jia Lian was respectful and polite, always observing etiquette and observing moral integrity, always at the emperor's beck and call, and he was a model brother.

Lin Daiyu was already grateful, and when she heard that Lian's second sister-in-law had personally brought people to clean up her residence, she felt even more grateful.

He stood up and bowed,

"Second brother Yu'er and his wife are taking care of him!"

"Yu'er, I'm sorry that you, Second Brother Lian, have come a thousand miles to greet me on this trip, and that you, my sister-in-law, have been busy at home for many days. I feel really bad for you."

Wang Xifeng's eyes narrowed into slits when she heard this, but she waved her hand and said,

"Your Highness, that's not the case. It doesn't matter if it's a problem or not. We are all family!"

After all, Lin Daiyu was only a girl of eleven or twelve years old. When she heard this, her face turned slightly red and she nodded slightly.

How could one tell that this was the shrewd Wang Xifeng, whose words were deliberately meant to bring people closer and to please them.

Hearing this, he felt that he had indeed caused trouble for his sister-in-law, so he said,

"Sister-in-law is right. Today I am here to pay my respects to my grandmother. If you don't mind, you can just call me sister."

"What about the County Lord and the County Lady? That's for outsiders. It makes the family seem a little distant!"

Wang Xifeng was also a person who would not hesitate to strike a blow. Upon hearing this, she immediately stepped forward and took Lin Daiyu's hand, laughing heartily,

"My Lady... look at my mouth! What my sister said is absolutely right."

He slapped his lips as he spoke, then looked at Lin Daiyu and smiled.

"I never thought there really was such a person in the world. Today I finally saw him. I can't blame my ancestors for talking about him every day."

When Jia Mu heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She scolded Wang Xifeng with a smile,

"You're the only monkey who can talk!"

Lin Daiyu blushed immediately with embarrassment.

After meeting and sitting down, Wang Xifeng looked at Lin Daiyu who was sitting next to Jia Mu with a smile and started chatting about family matters.

In Jia Zheng's reception room in the front yard.

Jia Zheng took the letter from Lin Ruhai brought by Jia Yucun with a smile.

After opening it and looking at it, he said with a smile,

"Mr. Yucun, please accompany the county lady to the capital this time. This official and my brother-in-law are both extremely grateful!"

Jia Yucun waved his hands and said,

"Mr. Jia, what are you talking about? I am just being loyal. And I have your son and daughter by my side. I am the winner!"

Jia Zheng laughed heartily when he heard this.

"Mr. Yucun is too modest!"

Then he put the letter in his hand on the table, patted it lightly, and said,

"I already know your intentions, sir. Recently, the court has reinstated a large number of officials who were dismissed during the first year of the Xinglong reign. Your talent is great, and my brother-in-law has already spoken of it in his heart. But I wonder what your ambitions are."
