Last time, Mrs. Wang told Lin Daiyu that Sister Feng's residence was next to the big shadow wall on the north side of the corridor where the corner gate of the east courtyard of Rongxi Hall went out, not far from the corner gate of Jia's mother's backyard.
This house is speculated to be the place where the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion married and lived, and it once belonged to Li Kun and is now given to Sister Feng. Not to mention.
The old lady passed the meal, and Mrs. Wang took Daiyu into Jia's mother's backyard from the back door, and went straight into the back door to enter the room, and saw many people waiting there.
☞ Let's talk about the Red Chamber series 166, and use the smallest space to talk about the details in "Dream of Red Mansions".
(The third time) saw that Mrs. Wang was coming, so he set up tables and chairs. Jia Zhu's wife Li held the rice, Xifeng Anzhen, and Mrs. Wang entered the soup. Jia's mother sat alone on the couch in front of her, with four empty chairs on both sides, Xifeng hurriedly pulled Daiyu to sit on the first chair on the left, and Daiyu was very pushing. Mother Jia smiled: "Your aunt and sister-in-law don't eat here." You are a guest, and you should have sat like this. Daiyu took a seat and sat down. Mother Jia ordered Mrs. Wang to sit. The three sisters of Yingchun came up to the seat.
Jia's mother only eats with her granddaughters, and her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law do not eat together.
Even if the guests come, they will serve Jia's mother to eat, and they will never go to the table to eat with their "mother-in-law".
This rule is not unique to the Jia family, but the reality of the daughter in ancient society.
Don't look at Sanchun, now enjoy the service of sisters-in-law, even their mothers are not allowed to share the table with them, and one day they will be daughters-in-law, so in-laws and elders.
Therefore, in ancient times, most daughters were pampered at home, just because they would suffer when they went to their in-laws' house in the future.
Of course, daughters-in-law don't eat with their mothers-in-law, so they have to go back and eat with their husbands.
Even if Li Kun is widowed and has no husband, but has a son who is still young, she also needs to go back to eat and take care of her.
The society of male superiority and inferiority of women is like this, not to mention.
Here, Mrs. Wang, Li Kun, and Sister Feng respectively served Jia's mother with rice and soup, and would not leave until Jia's mother had eaten.
Mrs. Wang is an elder, and she doesn't dare to sit in Sanchun. Jia Mu asked her to sit down first. Then they ate.
Judging from the later text, Mrs. Wang will sit at the door of Jia's mother's room, and it is not a chair but a pestle.
Lin Daiyu was a guest, and Sister Feng pulled her to sit on the east side of Jia's mother's left.
The spring is the biggest in the three springs, because the owner wants to sit opposite Daiyu. Then according to the order of "Left Zhao Right Mu", Tanchun and Daiyu side by side, after sitting down side by side with Yingchun, Jia Mu took the bowl and lifted chopsticks, and everyone could eat.
The ancients paid attention to "food without words", and naturally there was nothing to say throughout the whole process.
Lin Daiyu's feeling is that "the maid next to her is obsessed with dusting, gargling, and towels." Li and Feng stood next to the case. Although there were many daughters-in-law and maids waiting outside, they didn't even hear a cough. "This is the most basic dining rule ......of the ancients.
Of course, Mother Jia is the wife of Rongguo, and her rules and etiquette are far higher than those of ordinary people. It can also be reflected in the details of serving tea after meals.
If Lin Daiyu hadn't been cautious, she would have almost made a fool of herself here. What happened?
