Chapter 559: Second Grandma is so humorous
"Yun girl, you said you don't want to get married. Could it be that you have someone you love?" Daiyu suddenly said, "Tell me quickly, which family is he from?"
Xiangyun was stunned at first, and then the figure of Jia Cong appeared in her mind.
The next moment, her face flushed with shame, "I'll beat the hell out of you."
The two of them played around for a while before being pulled apart by Baochai.
Pulling her two sisters to her left and right, Baochai said with a smile, "It's getting late. We should go over there. Otherwise, if we go too late, I'm afraid the old lady will blame us."
Afterwards, the three of them walked out of the door and headed towards Baoyu Courtyard.
"Hey, where did these three young wives come from?" As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Wang Xifeng coming to greet him.
"Our Second Madam is so humorous!" Li Wan on the side also spoke with a smile.
"What kind of humor is that? It's just a chatterbox that's annoying." Behind Daiyu and the others, all the people from the East Palace had arrived.
Wang Xifeng took a quick look, tilted her snow-white neck and smiled, "I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be the wife of the East Palace."
"My eldest sister-in-law is a person who knows the difference between good and bad, and knows who to help. I am a chatterbox, so I am not very popular."
Yuanyang and the other two followed Youshi and Keqing into the room. Yuanyang stepped forward and took Wang Xifeng's arm. "Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've seen Second Madam having a drink. She never ate to her heart's content in our East Mansion before. Today, let's take good care of Second Madam."
"How dare the Second Madam let you high-ranking officials serve me? Besides the Grand Marquis, we also have the Old Madam. What rank do I, the Second Madam, hold?"
"You, the older one, are joking with the younger ones!" Li Wan slapped Wang Xifeng and then pulled Daiyu and Baochai and said, "The old lady is inside. You should go in quickly. It's cold outside now. Don't catch a cold."
Afterwards, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng led the way, and Daiyu, the other two, and everyone else from the East Palace all headed towards the inner hall.
Walking into the main hall, he saw the old lady sitting on a high couch, and Baoyu leaning beside her.
The arrival of Daiyu and the others made Baoyu's eyes light up. He immediately stood up happily and said, "Sister Lin, Sister Bao, Sister Yun, you are finally here."
"Congratulations, Brother Bao!" Baochai said with a smile.
Daiyu also spoke up, "Brother Bao is having a big wedding today. We are late."
"Second brother, where is Sister-in-law Xiren?" Xiangyun asked with a smile.
Baoyu couldn't help but frown at the words of the three people. "What's there to be happy about? All the sisters are here to have fun together. Is it worth talking about whether you are happy or not?"
Daiyu and Baochai exchanged a glance, and tacitly agreed not to respond. Instead, they stepped forward and bowed to the old lady, saying, "Greetings, old lady/grandmother."
The arrival of Daiyu and her companions made Grandmother Jia smile even more. She first said to Baochai, "How is her aunt these days?"
Baochai stepped forward and bowed, "Thanks to the old lady, my mother has been doing well recently. She just misses you all the time. And she always mentions the care you gave her when she was staying at your house."
"During the recent New Year holidays, mother knows that the old lady is very busy, so she didn't dare to come and bother her easily. When the old lady is free in a few days, mother will come to the mansion to pay her respects."
The old lady laughed and nodded. Of course, she didn't like Aunt Xue's thoughts. However, compared to her other wives, Aunt Xue was a tactful person. She always praised her to the point. After being away for a while, she still missed her a little.
Then, the old lady beckoned Daiyu to her side and said, "Your father insisted on having you live at home. Although you come to the mansion every day to learn the rules, you are not allowed to see him. I miss him very much."
Daiyu leaned on the old lady's arms and said, "Yu'er misses you too, but Daddy is always busy on his mission, so Yu'er should also do her part to show her filial piety at home."
Baochai sat aside with Yuanyang and others, while Xiangyun directly pulled Xichun, Baoqin, Xiaoqueer and others who came with Yuanyang and others to play.
Originally, Baoyu was very happy to see Daiyu and the others coming, but now he saw that no one paid any attention to him, and he couldn't help feeling a little angry.
He touched the jade on his chest, but suddenly remembered that the jade had been broken once...
"Grandpa, our new daughter-in-law is here to greet you." Wang Xifeng walked in with a big laugh.
"Come here and let me take a look!" said Jia's mother with a big laugh.
Afterwards, Lin Zhixiao's wife came forward with a group of maids and old women, surrounding Xiren.
Today, Xiren was obviously dressed up carefully, wearing a jade head ornament, applying powder on her face, and wearing a green dress.
Yes, because of Xiren’s identity, and the fact that Baoyu was only taking her as a concubine and not marrying her in a formal ceremony, she could not wear a phoenix crown and a red robe, and could only wear a blue wedding dress.
"Your servant greets the old lady." Xiren's face was blushing, and her heart was filled with joy and anticipation. This was the day she had been looking forward to for a long time. She originally thought there was no hope, but unexpectedly, it actually came true.
He first paid his respects to the old lady, and then to all the masters before he stopped.
Looking at Xiren bowing, the old lady couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Even though she still favored Baoyu, her Baoyu was obviously not as good as that little monkey.
Not to mention the identities of Xiren and the others, she wore a phoenix coronet and bridal robe when she came to visit the mansion, and more importantly, she also had an imperial edict bestowed by the royal family, which immediately made Xiren look inferior.
"Get up!" The old lady smiled and beckoned. She came closer, looked him up and down, and then said, "Today is your big day, so there's no need to be formal. From now on, you'll be Baoyu's chambermaid. You must serve him attentively morning and night, and don't rely on your status to be negligent."
Xiren quickly agreed.
At this moment, Baoyu's eyes were still fixed on Daiyu and Baochai, and he was not paying much attention to his bride. Unfortunately, both Daiyu and Baochai were obviously not paying attention to Baoyu.
"Baoyu!" the old lady shouted.
Baoyu came to his senses and walked over to Mrs. Lai. The old lady took Baoyu's hand and said, "When you have a wife in the future, you should be upright and respectful. Don't be as naughty as before. Otherwise, your father will have a hard time explaining it to you."
Baoyu nodded hesitantly. He felt as if something was quietly leaving him.
"Grandfather, the banquet is ready." Wang Xifeng sensed the awkward atmosphere in the room and hurried forward to speak. "The Second Master and some of the children of the side branches are having a banquet in the front hall."
The old lady nodded and said, "Baoyu, you should go to the front too. They are here to congratulate you today. You should go ahead and offer them a glass of wine."
Baoyu looked at Daiyu and the other girls again, then left the courtyard in silence and went to the front hall.
