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

Then he said to Lin Daiyu,

"Lord Lin, would you please come with me into the hall for tea?"

Lin Daiyu said softly,

"Uncle, just call me Yu'er. The county lady is really a bit unfamiliar!"

Jia Zheng nodded approvingly, stroking his beard and saying,

"Okay! Then I'll be bold and call you Yu'er like your mother!"

Grandmother Jia was still worried about Jia Baoyu's condition, so she said to Jia Zheng,

"Yu'er is tired from the long journey, so you can chat with her and let her go back to her room to rest early."

"Yes, old lady!"

Jia Zheng clasped his fists in response.

Then Jia Mu smiled lovingly at Lin Daiyu and said,

"Yu'er, please go and pay your respects to your uncle. After that, go back and rest early. There will be a dinner tonight."

Lin Daiyu hurriedly bowed.

"Yes, Grandma!"

After Lady Jia left, Jia Zheng looked at Lin Daiyu affectionately and said,

"Yu'er, please come in!"

"Thank you uncle!"

Lin Daiyu, supported by Aunt Rong, entered the main hall.

He looked around but couldn't see Mrs. Wang. He asked in confusion,

"Uncle, where is my second aunt?"

Jia Zheng continued to smile unnaturally.

In order to be able to have this scene, Mrs. Wang was sent in advance to the West Mansion to host a dinner for Grandma You.

Otherwise, if Mrs. Wang were there, given her doting on Jia Baoyu, she would naturally not act like this.

But in front of Lin Daiyu, he couldn't say that, so he smiled and said,

"Your father wrote to me once, saying that you liked poetry."

"I know that Brother Zhen has a lot of ancient books, including an out-of-print Song edition, so I asked your second aunt to go to the East Palace to borrow it."

Lin Daiyu raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and she was doubtful in her heart, but she did not show it on her face, and instead showed a bit of gratitude.

"I see. Thank you so much, uncle and second aunt."

Jia Zheng smiled and waved his hands.

"As a woman, this is all she can do at home all day."

Lin Daiyu was of course not in a position to respond to this, so she just lowered her head and did not answer.

Because Mrs. Wang was away, there was no woman to keep her company.

This made this visit to Jia Zheng seem very formal and hasty.

Just like he did with Jia She, Jia Zheng asked about Lin Daiyu's needs and also asked about Lin Ruhai's situation in Yangzhou.

However, Lin Daiyu received Rong Mama's advice, and when she left Yangzhou,

Yangzhou is still in the hands of the government, so we don’t know what the situation is.

Just like Jia She, he just dealt with it casually with a few words.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's tired look,

Jia Zheng then asked Lin Daiyu to go back and rest.

He personally escorted Lin Daiyu to the door of the hall before turning back.

If it was an ordinary visitor, unless he was of extremely noble status, Jia Zheng would at most serve him tea and see him off.

But Lin Daiyu's status was different, so according to her status, she should be sent to the gate of the courtyard.

But if we follow the order of seniority, we should not see each other off.

Therefore, between sending her off or not, Jia Zheng chose to send her off halfway and sent Lin Daiyu out of the hall.

After leaving Jia Zheng's courtyard, Lin Daiyu sat in the sedan chair, her eyes constantly flickering.

She couldn't help but recall what Qingfeng Li said to her when he came that night.

As expected, a big family with a lot of dirty things in it.

I don’t know when I can return to Yangzhou and have fun with my brother Qingfeng?

Although she had only been at Rongguo Mansion for less than half a day, Lin Daiyu was already feeling a little impatient.

But she was a smart and understanding woman, and she knew that Brother Qingfeng had promised his father to send her to Shenjing.

It's not just to cure her illness, but there are other arrangements.

She sighed helplessly. Even though there were many conflicts in the Jia family, she didn't want to cause trouble for Brother Qingfeng.

After Lin Daiyu returned to Furongyuan,

All matters in the hospital were in good order under the arrangement of Xueyan and Zijuan.

Lin Daiyu praised Zijuan in person and felt a little tired.

He then entrusted all the remaining matters to Aunt Rong and took Xueyan back to his room to rest.
