Chapter 937 [Ashes of Love: Red Mansion Tribulation 7]

Dai Ke nodded seriously and said, "Sister, you are absolutely right! It is true that I was not thoughtful enough and thought too simply. From today on, I will work harder to study. After I pass the imperial examinations in the future, I will make sure that you can avoid the pain of the selection process and freely choose your own husband to marry, instead of being forced to marry into the mansions of those royal relatives and being trapped in the backyard of the mansion and losing your freedom."

Hearing her brother's firm words, Youyou couldn't help but smile and responded gently, "Okay, then I'm looking forward to Ke Ge'er fulfilling his promise to me as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, sister. I will do what I say and will do my best to make your wish come true." Dai Ke promised solemnly.

Youyou smiled and nodded slightly, indicating that she believed what her brother said.

In this way, the days passed one by one on the ship. After several days of sailing, the ship carrying hope and dreams finally arrived in the capital. Lin Ruhai, who had already learned the news, sent his housekeeper to the dock in advance to welcome Jia Min, Dai Ke and You You.

Steward Lin and his servants were waiting respectfully at the dock. When they saw the boat approaching, they hurried forward to greet them. When the three people got off the boat, he first bowed to Jia Min and greeted them, then led them to sit in the prepared carriage and galloped all the way to the Lin Mansion.

The three of them did not bother to rest after returning to the mansion, but went straight to their respective rooms to wash and change clothes. After all, they had been traveling for so many days, and looking dusty and exhausted really damaged their image. After washing up, the three of them felt refreshed, as if all the fatigue along the way had been washed away.

At this time, everyone in the Jia family received a piece of news: Jia Min, the aunt who married far away in Suzhou, has now returned to Beijing with her husband to report on her work. Time flies, and in recent years, the fortune of the Jia family seems to be getting worse and worse. Although there is still a noble lady Jia Yuanchun in the palace, she is only favored by so-so, and compared with Lin Ruhai who is currently in the limelight, it is simply incomparable.

As a result, everyone in the Jia family turned their attention to Jia Min's children. You know, these children are the children who inherited the excellent bloodline of the Lin family! After some discussion, Jia's mother made a prompt decision and sent a servant to the Lin family to deliver a visiting card. This visiting card sincerely expressed her deep longing for her daughter, grandson and granddaughter, and earnestly hoped that Jia Min could return to the Jia family with her family to visit.

After receiving the invitation, Jia Min did not notice any strangeness or conspiracy in it. In her opinion, her mother was getting old, and perhaps she really missed her and sent such an invitation. So, without much hesitation, Jia Min happily decided to take Decor and Youyou, plus a group of servants and rich gifts, and set off on the road back to the Jia Mansion. Along the way, Jia Min's heart was full of anticipation for the long-awaited reunion.

Jia Min and his party slowly walked to the gate of the Duke of Rong's mansion. From afar, the gate of the mansion looked particularly magnificent, and the high threshold seemed to tell of the noble status of the mansion; the bright red gate was as warm and solemn as a burning flame; the huge copper ring inlaid on the door flashed a golden light, revealing an awe-inspiring majesty.

Jia Min stared at the familiar yet strange mansion in front of her quietly, with an indescribable complex emotion in her heart. She couldn't help but think of the happy times she had spent here, and those carefree days seemed to be still vivid in her mind. However, time has passed, and now she is married and has not returned for many years.

After a short pause, Jia Min turned around and told the maid beside her to hand the carefully prepared visiting card to the maid at the door. The maid took the visiting card, with a faint smile on her face, and led them to the side door.

Seeing this, Jia Min frowned slightly, and immediately felt a little dissatisfied. She stopped and raised her voice and said, "Why did you open the side door for us to enter? Back then, I used to go in and out of this main door with dignity! How come after just a dozen years, the treatment has become so different? Am I not even qualified to go through the main door now?"

When the old woman heard Jia Min's question, she bowed hurriedly and answered carefully: "To answer your question, my lady, it is really not my intention to neglect you. This main entrance is reserved for dignitaries and some extremely important people. Ordinary relatives like us can only go through the side door." Although the old woman spoke politely, the meaning between her words was obvious - with Jia Min's current identity and status, she was indeed not qualified to go through the front door.

Jia Min was so smart, how could she not hear the hidden meaning in the mother-in-law's words? She sneered and thought to herself: Humph, when I was the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, I had never been treated so humiliatingly? Even after I got married and started a family, I was still highly respected, and no one dared to look down on me like this. But I didn't expect that I would be treated so coldly when I returned to my parents' home. It's really the fickleness of the world!

Youyou gently stretched out her hand and carefully pulled a corner of Jia Min's gorgeous sleeve. Then she stood on tiptoe, put her mouth close to Jia Min's ear, and whispered softly, "Mother, we came here today just to visit grandma. After seeing grandma, you might as well tell her everything. In my opinion, this is definitely not grandma's original intention. It is probably the servants who acted recklessly and on their own initiative. So, we must not make a fuss at the gate, otherwise it will play into the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes and let their evil plan succeed!"

Jia Min nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with Youyou, then turned to look at Yu'er and Ke'er beside her, and said with a smile: "Okay, children, let's go in quickly. Weren't you two just clamoring to see your grandmother as soon as possible? Why are you dawdling now? Come in with me quickly."

Hearing their mother's words, Daiko and Youyou couldn't help but smile at each other and answered in unison, "Yes, mother!" Then, the group walked towards the gate of the mansion with brisk steps.

The three of them walked lightly through the slightly quaint side door. As soon as they entered, Youyou and Dai Ke were attracted by the exquisitely carved screens in front of them. These screens seemed to be works of art, with all kinds of flowers, birds, insects and fish carefully depicted on them. Every stroke was so delicate and vivid that they seemed to jump out of the screens, which made people marvel at their beauty.

When you step into the courtyard, you will see lush greenery and trees, colorful flowers competing for beauty, and exuding bursts of refreshing fragrance. It is spring all year round here, and flowers bloom at any time, red like fire, pink like clouds, and white like snow, complementing each other and creating a beautiful scene. In the center of the courtyard stands a finely carved rockery, which is like a masterpiece of nature. The rockery is covered with emerald green moss, and from a distance it looks like a natural landscape painting, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

There are several small and exquisite houses scattered around the courtyard, which are the daily living places of servants and slaves. Although they are not as grand as the main house, they are also elegant and warm.

Afterwards, the three of them continued to move forward and finally arrived at the main hall of Rongguo Mansion. When they stepped into the main hall, they felt a golden light shining in front of their eyes, and a magnificent scene came into their eyes. Looking up, they saw many exquisite reliefs carved on the ceiling of the main hall. The gods and fairies in those reliefs were all graceful and beautiful, lifelike, as if they would fall from the sky in the next second.

Looking around, the walls are covered with paintings and calligraphy by famous artists. Among them are the majestic poems of Lu You and the bold and unrestrained calligraphy of Su Shi. Each work is a rare treasure, exuding a strong cultural atmosphere. Next to these paintings and calligraphy, there are neatly displayed exquisite porcelain, smooth jade and glittering silver. They reflect the dazzling light under the sunlight, dazzling and dazzling.

Walking into the main hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the magnificent mahogany table in the center. The table is made of high-quality materials, with a deep and noble red color throughout. Its surface has been carefully polished, smooth as a mirror, reflecting the soft light in the room. On the table is laid an exquisite brocade, which is colorful and embroidered with complex and delicate patterns, like a flowing scroll.

On the brocade, a set of exquisite tea sets and several pieces of porcelain were neatly placed. These tea sets were unique in shape, with smooth lines on the pot body and small and exquisite tea cups with exquisite patterns painted on the cup body; and those porcelains were either white as jade or painted with elegant colored glazes. Each piece was a work of art, revealing the owner's elegant taste and noble status.

Looking at one side of the main hall, there stands a huge screen. This screen is several meters high and about ten feet wide. On the screen are painted flowers, birds, insects and fish in various poses. The painter uses superb skills to depict them vividly, with birds flapping their wings, flowers blooming, fish playing flexibly, and insects cute and playful, which makes people stop to watch and admire.

Right next to this screen, there is another equally eye-catching jade screen with fine carvings. This screen is made of top-quality jade, which is warm and transparent, exuding a faint luster. It is not only engraved with exquisite patterns, but also cleverly inlaid with various precious gems, such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds, etc. These gems sparkle charmingly under the light, making the entire jade screen look like a rare treasure.

After passing through the main hall, you will come to the back garden of Rongguo Mansion. The beautiful scenery in front of you is intoxicating. In the center of the garden is a wide lake, the lake water is clear and transparent, like a flawless emerald. The sun shines on the lake, sparkling and rippling. When the breeze blows, the lake surface is covered with ripples, like soft silk dancing.

The lake is surrounded by a variety of flowers, plants and trees. The flowers are colorful, vying for beauty and giving off a charming fragrance. Some flowers are as passionate and unrestrained as flames, while others are as pure and elegant as snowflakes; some petals overlap like dancers in fancy dresses, while others are single and independent, just like shy girls. There are also many kinds of trees by the lake, including tall and straight poplars, graceful willows, and lush pines and cypresses. They sway gently in the breeze, and the branches and leaves rub against each other, making a rustling sound, like a beautiful piece of music played by nature.

In the center of the lake, there is an exquisite pavilion. The roof of the pavilion is covered with colorful glazed tiles, which shine with colorful light under the sun. From a distance, it looks like a dazzling crown. The pavilion is surrounded by various wind chimes. When there is wind, the wind chimes will swing with the wind and make clear and pleasant sounds. The sound is sometimes melodious and sometimes cheerful and lively, just like the sound of nature, bringing endless joy to people.

There is a small island in the middle of the lake on one side of the pavilion. The island is covered with various exotic flowers and plants, some of which have strange shapes and some have rare leaf colors. The fragrance of the flowers here is rich and refreshing. Walking in this sea of ​​flowers is like being in a fairyland, which is beautiful beyond words.

On the other side of the garden, there stands a majestic and spectacular rockery. This rockery seems to be a masterpiece of nature, with each stone carefully carved and stacked to form a unique shape and texture.

There are all kinds of precious flowers and trees planted on the rockery, which are blooming in competition with each other. Some flowers are delicate and gorgeous, like shy girls; some have petals spread out, just like dancing fairies. These flowers and trees are not only colorful, but also full of fragrance, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

There is also an eye-catching artificial waterfall below the rockery, which is so fascinating that you can't help yourself.
