Chapter 38 First acquaintance
Lin Daiyu was so sensitive that she immediately noticed their looks.

My heart, which had been warming up a little, suddenly turned cold.
This is not my home after all. I am just living under someone else's roof.

Thinking of this, she wiped away her tears silently, although she wanted to cry.
But I must not cry again, otherwise how will they look at me?
Grandmother Jia was completely unaware of Lin Daiyu's inner changes and continued to wipe away her tears.

"Yu'er, although your mother is gone, you still have your grandmother. I will love you well and will not let anyone bully you." His face was full of kindness.

Lin Daiyu's face turned pale, and she bit her lips tightly.

When she mentioned her mother, she couldn't help feeling sad. Grandmother Jia was just rubbing salt into her wounds.

Wang Xifeng saw that the atmosphere was not right and said with a smile

"Grandfather, it's good that Sister Lin is here. In the future, with your love, good days are still to come."

It has to be said that Wang Xifeng was quite talented. She quickly made Lady Jia laugh, and the atmosphere in the room soon became cheerful.

Lin Daiyu was somewhat bewildered. She was not used to the lively atmosphere.

Her eyes are drooped, so grandma isn't very sad?
She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words. Anyway, she felt very bad, so she simply kept silent.

Because of Jia Hu, Xichun became much more cheerful. She also lost her mother at an early age and felt the same way.

Seeing Lin Daiyu hanging her head and looking at a loss, she immediately stood up.

Walk up to Lin Daiyu and take her hand

"You must be Sister Lin, we have been looking forward to your coming for a long time." He tilted his head and looked at Lady Jia, smiling and said

"Grandpa, can you lend me Sister Lin?"

When Grandmother Jia saw Xichun, she would have scolded her in the past.

But now, thinking of Jia She's miserable state, his body trembled slightly.
She smiled and nodded.

"Go ahead. You guys will have to play together in the future. It's a good opportunity to get to know each other."

Xichun said with a smile
"Thank you, ancestor." Then he took Lin Daiyu and left.

Lin Daiyu was a little surprised because she seemed to see a hint of fear in her grandmother's eyes just now. Was it an illusion?

How could a grandmother be afraid of a little girl?
Everyone saw Xichun pulling Lin Daiyu away, but no one said anything.
Who can afford to offend these three young ladies in the mansion now? They know better than anyone how miserable Jia She is now, but they pretend not to see it.

Xichun felt relieved. Except for Tanchun who had noticed something, Yingchun and Xichun were completely unaware of Jia Hu's deterrent power.

Yingchun whispered worriedly

"Fourth sister, you were too reckless. Fortunately, the ancestors didn't blame you."

Xichun stuck out her tongue and nodded in fear.

"I see. Hey, I just wanted to meet Sister Lin earlier. I won't dare to do that next time."

Tanchun didn't say anything, but her eyes flickered and she glanced at the people who were still talking and laughing.
He looked at Yingchun and Xichun again and shook his head secretly. This was probably the influence of his third brother, otherwise the old ancestor would not be so easy to talk to.

Lin Daiyu looked at them curiously, and she could feel that they were kind to her.

"Sister Lin, I am the youngest in the mansion. My name is Xichun." Xichun was afraid of neglecting Lin Daiyu, so she introduced herself with a smile.

Yingchun smiled gently at Lin Daiyu

"Sister Lin, my name is Yingchun, you can just call me Second Sister."

Tanchun also smiled and took Lin Daiyu's hand.
"Sister Lin, I'm younger than you. My name is Tanchun, and you have to call me Third Sister."

Lin Daiyu was surprised
"Do you know how old I am?" Tanchun asked with a smile

"Our ancestors have mentioned it several times, so of course we know it."

Lin Daiyu suddenly realized and bowed solemnly.
"Lin Daiyu of the Lin family, meet Sister Xichun, Third Sister, and Second Sister."

Tanchun quickly reached out to support her.

"Sister Lin, why are there so many false formalities between us sisters?"

Xichun smiled and pulled Lin Daiyu to sit between them.
"Yes, yes, I have a new sister. Ha, it's even more lively now."

Lin Daiyu looked at Xichun's lovely appearance. She was always alone and had no chance to leave the house.
This is the first time I experience the feeling of having sisters. Am I the elder sister now?

Finally, a smile appeared on her little face. She was about to speak.
Suddenly, I saw the blue butterfly wings embroidered on Xichun's shoulders fluttering.
She blinked, thinking she was dazzled, and was about to rub her eyes.

"Hua La." The door curtain was suddenly opened, and a young man rushed in.
Her face is like the Mid-Autumn moon, her temples are like knife-cut, her eyebrows are like ink painting, her nose is like a hanging gall bladder, and her eyes are like autumn waves.

She wore a golden headband with the pattern of two dragons fighting for a pearl tied to her eyebrows, a bright red arrow-sleeved gown, a colorful palace sash, and small green court boots.

"Ancestor, I heard that a younger sister has come to the mansion. Where is she? Let me see her quickly?" As he said this, he looked around.

Everyone smiled when they saw that it was Jia Baoyu. This was Jia's favorite grandson. Jia's mother said with a smile:
"Baoyu, why are you here so late? You didn't even come to dinner when I asked you to."

Jia Baoyu did not answer, but was a little dumbfounded.

Because he had already seen Lin Daiyu, there was a fascinated look in his eyes, and he walked towards her involuntarily.

Lin Daiyu was a little surprised and wondered who this young man was.
How could he barge in so rashly? His grandmother and the others didn't say anything to him.

She couldn't help but frowned. This look made her feel a little uncomfortable.
But she didn't dare to get up and leave, so she could only sit there pretending to be calm, her eyes wandering, not daring to look at Jia Baoyu.

Seeing Jia Baoyu like this, Xichun couldn't help but frown.
She knew that this second brother Bao had his old illness again, and she could feel Lin Daiyu's uneasiness the most.

He quietly reached out and grabbed her hand, squeezing it gently to tell her not to be afraid.

Lin Daiyu looked down at Xichun and saw her smiling sweetly at her. She felt warm in her heart and nodded slightly to indicate that she was fine.

"I have seen this sister." Jia Baoyu had already walked in front of Lin Daiyu, stopped, and suddenly murmured.

Lin Daiyu was startled and looked up hurriedly at Jia Baoyu in surprise. How could this be possible? She had never seen this person before.

"I don't know you." Lin Daiyu explained hurriedly, her little face turning red with anxiety.

Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Grandmother Jia smiled and said,

"Baoyu, what nonsense are you talking about? Your sister is here for the first time today. Where are you going to see her?"

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Mrs. Wang's eyes. This silly son should not fall in love with this disaster.

Lin Daiyu didn't expect everyone to laugh. She really didn't understand what was so funny and felt a little sad.

Jia Baoyu shook his head and said seriously

"I really have seen it, but even if I tell you, you won't understand." He came back to his senses and said helplessly,

Then he looked at Lin Daiyu with great interest.

"Sister, have you ever been able to read?"
