The first guest written by the author is Daiyu.
Daiyu is the first relative of Jia family, and is connected by blood.
She is the granddaughter of Jia Mu, who ordered someone to pick her up from Yangzhou. All the other guests came by themselves, and Daiyu was picked up by her host.
Jia expressed his attention and love for this granddaughter with his own actions.
But that's the truth. When Daiyu first entered the government, she still faced big pits, small pits, open pits and dark pits.
The first pit was Mrs. Xing's meal, and Mrs. Xing didn't mean it. At this time, Mrs. Xing thought of flattering the old lady, so she warmly entertained Dai Yu to show her kindness.
But Daiyu really had dinner with her, and then went to visit her second uncle. Naturally, she lost her manners and wanted to have her first meal with Grandmother Jia. Fortunately, Daiyu is young, but she is familiar with etiquette. If Daiyu's perfect style is Lin's good upbringing, then this courtesy and understanding are her natural intelligence and sensitivity.
Daiyu tactfully showed her position and used etiquette, and Mrs. Xing did just that.
The second pit was dug by Mrs. Wang, and she naturally had a heart. Mrs Wang comes from a big family and knows all the rules and etiquette, but she hopes that Dai Yu will be Jia Zheng's chair. This is intentional. If it is really a reckless child sitting there, I am afraid that in a few days, there will be rumors that the child is arrogant.
Daiyu is too busy to sit down. It is appropriate for a little girl to respond like this. Finally, I sat next to Mrs. Wang.
Next, Mrs. Wang said that if Daiyu was told to stay away from Baoyu, Daiyu would respond immediately. When she came, she was naturally with her sisters. How could she provoke Baoyu? This is etiquette. According to Baoyu's age, how can he play with little girls when he goes to school every day? Mrs. Wang has to say that it is grandma's spoil. This shows that it was not Daiyu who provoked Baoyu, but Baoyu did not go to the outer court to study according to the rules.
Then eat, from where to sit, to gargle after the first cup of tea, all details determine etiquette.
Daiyu passed the customs one by one.
No one told her the rules of the Jia family, but she observed them carefully and learned them.
Then Baoyu threw jade, and this time Daiyu said nothing. She just told the truth. Baoyu threw away the jade, which has nothing to do with Daiyu. Baoyu is crazy, but he still embarrassed the guests. That's why Daiyu cried.
Being at home for a thousand days is always difficult to go out. On the first day as a guest, Daiyu felt really tired.
Why did Lin Daiyu feel really tired when she went to Jia's house on the first day in A Dream of Red Mansions? )
