Jia Yu Village by favor regains his old post; Lin Daiyu leaves her father and enters the capital.
It happened that when Yu Cun turned around in a hurry, he saw that it was not someone else, but Zhang Rugui, a colleague who had been dismissed from the same case. He was originally from this place and after the dismissal, he lived at home. Now, he has heard that the capital has approved the reinstatement of the old members, so he is looking for ways to find a way. Suddenly, he met Yu Cun and hurriedly congratulated him. The two saw the ceremony, and Zhang Rugui told Yu Cun the good news. Yu Cun was naturally very happy, hurriedly chatted a few words, and then said goodbye and went home separately. Leng Zixing heard this and hurriedly offered a plan, asking Yu Cun to ask Lin Ruhai to ask Jia Zheng to help in the capital. Yu Cun understood his meaning, said goodbye and returned to the post, and hurriedly looked for the official report to see if it was true.
The next day, he discussed with Ruhai. Ruhai said: "It's a coincidence, because my wife has passed away, and my mother-in-law in the capital is concerned that my daughter has no one to rely on for education, so she has already sent a boat for men and women to pick her up. Because my daughter has not fully recovered, she has not been able to go. At this moment, I am thinking of the grace of your teaching, which has not been rewarded. When I encounter this opportunity, how can I not do my best to repay it? But please rest assured. I have already planned for this, and I have written a letter of recommendation, asking my brother to take care of it, so that I can slightly fulfill my humble sincerity. If there is a certain cost, I have already stated it in the letter to my brother, and I don't have to worry too much." Yu Cun kept thanking him, and then asked, "I don't know which position your relative holds now? I'm afraid I'm too hasty to suddenly enter the capital and disturb." Ruhai smiled and said, "If we talk about my relative, he is still in the same family as your brother, the grandson of Duke Rong: the eldest nephew is now holding the first-class general, named She, with the courtesy name En Hou. The second nephew's name is Zheng, with the courtesy name Cun Zhou, and he is currently the staff member of the Ministry of Works. He is a humble and generous person, and he has the heritage of his grandfather, not a frivolous official. That's why I'm writing a letter to ask for help. Otherwise, it would not only tarnish your brother's integrity, but I would not be willing to do it either." Yu Cun listened, and finally believed what Zixing said yesterday, so he thanked Lin Ruhai again. Ruhai said, "It has been chosen on the second day of the month for my daughter to enter the capital, and your brother will go the same way, which is very convenient." Yu Cun listened obediently, very satisfied in his heart. Ruhai then prepared gifts and farewell matters, and Yu Cun accepted them one by one.
The female student, Daiyu, had just recovered, and she was originally reluctant to leave her father, but her grandmother insisted on going, and Ruhai said, "Your father is going to be fifty years old, and he has no intention of remarrying. Moreover, you are very sickly and very young. There is no mother to educate you, and there are no sisters or brothers to support you. Now, you can rely on your grandmother and your uncle's sisters. It's just right to reduce my worries. Why don't you go?" After hearing this, Daiyu finally shed tears and bid farewell, following her wet nurse and several old women from Rongfu to board the boat and leave. Yu Cun had another boat, with two little boys, following Daiyu.
After a few days, they arrived at the capital and entered the divine capital. Yu Cun first tidied up his clothes, took the little boy, took the name card of his nephew, and went to the door of Rongfu and handed it in. At that time, Jia Zheng had already read his brother-in-law's letter and immediately invited him in to meet. Seeing Yu Cun's appearance was majestic, and his speech was extraordinary, and Jia Zheng liked scholars the most, treating the virtuous and helping the weak, which was very much like his ancestors; moreover, it was his brother-in-law's intention, so he treated Yu Cun even more differently, and tried his best to help him inside, and on the day of the memorial, he easily planned a vacancy for a post, and within two months, the Jinling Yingtian Prefecture was vacant, and he planned to fill this vacancy, bid farewell to Jia Zheng, and chose a day to go to his post. It's not under the words.
And Daiyu, since the day she left the boat and landed, there have been sedan chairs and vehicles for carrying luggage sent by Rongguo House waiting for a long time. Lin Daiyu often heard her mother say that her grandmother's house is different from other houses. The few third-class maids she has seen recently, their food, clothing, and usage are already extraordinary, let alone when she arrives at her house today. Therefore, she is cautious at every step and cares at all times, not willing to talk casually or take a step more, for fear of being laughed at by others. Since she got on the sedan chair and entered the city, she took a look at it from the gauze window, the prosperity of the market and the prosperity of the people are different from other places. After another half-day walk, she suddenly saw two big stone lions squatting on the north side of the street, with three animal-headed big doors in front, and more than a dozen people in gorgeous clothes sitting in front of the door. The main door is not open, only the east and west corner doors have people coming in and out. There is a plaque on the main door, with the five big characters "Imperial Construction Ningguo House" written on it. Daiyu thought: This must be the eldest room of her grandfather. Thinking about it, she walked west, and not far away, there were also three main doors, which is Rongguo House. But she didn't enter the main door, she only entered the west corner door. The sedan chair bearers carried it in, walked a shot, and when they were about to turn, they stopped and quit. The following wives have all got off the sedan chair and caught up. Three or four young boys who were well-dressed and in their teens came up and lifted the sedan chair again. The wives surrounded and followed to a hanging flower door and got off. The young boys quit, the wives came up and opened the sedan chair curtain, and helped Daiyu get off the sedan chair. Lin Daiyu, holding the wife's hand, entered the hanging flower door, both sides are copy swimming corridors, the middle is the hall, there is a rosewood frame marble big screen in the local area. After turning the screen, there is a small hall of three rooms, and after the hall is the back main room. There are five main rooms on the front, all carved beams and painted rafters, and there are mountain corridors and side rooms on both sides, with various parrots, thrushes and other birds hanging. On the terrace, there are several maids dressed in red and green, and as soon as they saw them coming, they all laughed and came up, saying: "Just now, the old lady was still thinking about it, and it happened to come." So three or four people competed to open the curtain cage, and at the same time, they heard someone reply: "Miss Lin has arrived."
When Daiyu just entered the room, she saw two people holding an old mother with silver hair coming up, and Daiyu knew it was her grandmother. Just as she was about to pay her respects, she was hugged by her grandmother and cried bitterly. All the people standing on the ground at the moment couldn't help but cover their faces and cry, and Daiyu couldn't stop crying either. After a while, everyone slowly persuaded and stopped, and Daiyu finally paid her respects to her grandmother. This is the Lady Shi who Leng Zixing said, the mother of Jia She and Jia Zheng. At the moment, the Dowager Jia pointed to Daiyu one by one: "This is your first aunt, this is your second aunt, and this is your brother Zhu's daughter-in-law, sister-in-law Zhu." Daiyu paid her respects one by one. The old lady also said: "Please ask the girls to come. Today, the distant guest has just arrived, and you don't have to go to school." Everyone answered and left two.
In a short while, three nurses and five or six maids came with three sisters. The first one had a slightly plump skin, a moderate figure, a new litchi on the cheek, and a greasy goose fat on the nose. She was gentle and silent, and she was approachable. The second one had a thin shoulder and a
