In the whole Dream of Red Mansions, Daiyu was the busiest, probably when she entered Jiafu once, in a short period of time, not only did she have to meet everyone in Jiafu one by one, but some elders also had to come to visit her in person. No, just after meeting the eldest uncle, Daiyu is going to visit the second uncle next, every time I read this, I sweat for Daiyu's body. She has been frail and sick since she was a child, but after arriving in Rongfu, in order not to be rude, she not only met Jia's mother, the second lady of Xing Wang, the two concubines of Xufeng, and the ...... of Jiafu SanchunI had to spare a lot of energy to meet the two uncles. This is not like our small family, you can turn around in a few minutes, but you have to constantly go out by car, get out of the car and change clothes, under the guidance of your mother-in-law, through many courtyards, and you have to be careful, thinking about talking, Daiyu is really tired this day.
I went to see my uncle Jia Yu before, but Jia Yu didn't see him. It is estimated that Daiyu also has a bottom in her heart, and the second uncle Jia Zheng may not be seen, but as a niece, even if the uncle is not seen, or not at home, the ceremony of visiting the door in person is still indispensable. Of course, Daiyu will not sit, because the east head is generally the seat of the host, and the host's polite concession is etiquette to show attention and respect, but it is also etiquette for guests to refrain from sitting, which is our social etiquette.
Daiyu knew that that place was where her second uncle Jia Zheng sat up every day, how could she dare to sit as a junior? In fact, taking a step back, even if Daiyu went to sit, it was nothing, after all, this day was the first guest for her, and in terms of etiquette, it was natural to break the shackles of ordinary generations.
But no matter how Mrs. Wang let her, Daiyu never sat on the position of the head of the east, and finally had no choice but to sit next to Mrs. Wang. This is where Daiyu knows etiquette and etiquette, although she can sit, it is better not to sit, and it can better reflect Daiyu's good tutoring.
And Mrs. Wang's repeated concessions are not what some people now call digging pits, but etiquette. Mrs. Wang was born in the Jinling Wang family, and she is also a serious lady, Daiyu has just entered Jiafu, she has no reason to dig a pit for Daiyu.
Even if she had a gap with her sister-in-law Jia Min in the old days, seeing her niece who had lost her mother and had to come to Jiafu to live temporarily, everyone was in tears and distressed, how could her Mrs. Wang be able to do it? These are all jokes made by people who don't understand the etiquette of ancient big families. Sure enough, the second uncle Jia Zheng didn't see Daiyu either, saying that he was fasting, and the fat criticism said that it was embellishment of the official career, which means that Jia Zheng will be promoted in the future, which is also in line with his personality of loving reading since childhood. In the whole Red Mansion, Jia Zheng is a more serious descendant of Jiafu.
Jia Zheng also had some words to tell Daiyu, saying: Your three sisters are very good, and in the future, they will be able to read and write, do needlework, or even make a joke.
This is very interesting, Jia Yu said that Sanchun was obviously humble, saying "although the sisters are clumsy", while Jia Zheng said here more kindly, not humble, but "Your three sisters are very good." "It's a clear compliment.
The eldest uncle said that his own girl was clumsy, of course, he was humble, similar to how we call our son a dog, not that our own child is really clumsy. And Jia Zheng was not so humble, but said that Sanchun was very good, and he could see that he was a real person, but people are in the eunuch journey, sometimes they are too real or invite trouble. After speaking, Mrs. Wang also explained otherwise, so that Daiyu will stay away from her own evil in the future, this is written about Mrs. Wang, who is a mother, and her infinite doting on Baoyu, he is afraid that Baoyu will cause trouble, and he is afraid that the new niece will provoke Baoyu, and when the time comes, everyone will not look good. And when Daiyu was at home, she had already heard her mother say about it, and she was mentally prepared, but, after all calculations, she never expected that this naughty and abnormal lazy character who was extremely fond of reading was exactly the person she was destined for.
