Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Daiyu patted Zhen Yinglian's chest and said, "Don't worry, just listen to me. Your grandfather has slowly squandered the Zhen family's wealth. If I send you back now, you will only have your mother left. If your grandfather relies on his seniority to force you to marry someone else, your mother will not be able to help you."

Zhen Yinglian burped twice. She felt confused and didn't know what to do for a while.

A beauty is still a beauty even when she burps!

Daiyu looked at her with emotion and patiently comforted her, "I suggest you follow me first. I am less than seven years old now, and I won't get married in the short term. So you don't need to worry that I will sell you off to someone else. When we enter the capital, we will go to my grandparents' home. Although his family is not as prominent as before, it is more than enough to protect you and me. You don't have to worry about being robbed because of your good looks.

As for your mother, I can send someone to bring her to Shenjing. Then we can rent a small house near the Lin Mansion so that it will be convenient for you to visit her. With your monthly salary and your mother taking on some sewing work, it should not be difficult for you and your daughter to survive in Shenjing. What do you think?"

Zhen Yinglian listened to Daiyu's careful arrangements, tears welled up in her eyes and she didn't say a word for a long time.

Still, Luluo felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little dull, and suddenly made a joke: "You are so young, but you are already thinking about getting married. You are really not afraid of shame."

Ha ha ha ha--

This remark caused everyone in the room to burst into laughter, and even Zhen Yinglian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"When you serve me in the future, do you want to use your real name or do you want me to give you a name? Of course, when I let you out, I will restore your real name." Daiyu said seriously.

Zhen Yinglian stood up and knelt down to pay her respects to Daiyu, who accepted the greeting calmly without stopping her.

"Please give me a name, young lady!"

Daiyu lowered her head and thought for a moment, then gave her a name according to the same rules she had used to name her maids.

"Yinglian, Yinglian. I don't like these two homophonic characters. I believe that destiny is in our own hands.

From now on, you will be called Red Lotus. Red Lotus, also known as Manjusaka in Sanskrit, is the heavenly flower in the divine world. I hope you can be like that flower, with your body and mind in one.”

"Thanks, young lady, Honglian!" Zhen Yinglian, who should be called Honglian now, bowed again to express her gratitude.

Later, Daiyu met Lingji again.

He took out the remaining three hundred taels of silver notes and some loose change from his pocket and placed them on the eight-immortals table.

"Did everything go smoothly this time?"

"There was not a single mistake! We sneaked in at night, and the kidnapper was frightened by us and thought he was a robber, so he quickly handed over the indenture. Later, when he saw that we left 150 taels of silver notes, he actually wanted to increase the price. So I told him Zhen... Honglian's true identity, and even wanted to take him to see the official, and only then did he sign the contract." After Lin Ji finished speaking, he placed Honglian's indenture and the sales contract on the table.

"I'll keep this for now, and then go to the government to exchange it for a formal deed after we enter the capital. As for the silver, you and your brothers can divide it up. I have another matter that requires you to go back to Yangzhou in person." Daiyu glanced at Xueyan, who understood and left with Lan Rui and the others.

"Brother Linji, you must personally hand this ring to my father and let him wear it, and tell him not to take it off easily. And the potion in this porcelain bottle, this is an elixir I got by chance, it can cure all kinds of poisons.

But you are not to give this to your father, but to your father, the housekeeper Lin!" Daiyu handed the porcelain bottle to Lin Ji and continued, "Since my mother passed away, I have been looking for an elixir to detoxify along the way, and finally found this one. I used half of it before I was sure that this bottle of potion can detoxify common poisons. I think even if it can't detoxify all poisons, it should be no problem to delay for a while."

Daiyu made up a bunch of stories and finally convinced Lin Ji: "Brother Lin Ji, I'm counting on you! You must let Butler Lin carry this porcelain bottle with him at all times. Don't let it out of his sight even when changing clothes or bathing!"

Lin Ji tightly grasped the small porcelain bottle, feeling that it carried the fate of the entire Lin family. This was not an exaggeration, if Lin Ruhai collapsed, the Lin family would really be gone!

He only rested for one night, and the next day he led his men on horseback and left the White Horse Temple.

There was a seven-day ritual next, and this time Daiyu copied the "Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva".

She clasped her hands together, looked at the Buddha statue without any sadness or joy, and made a wish: If there really is reincarnation in this little world, I hope Jia Min and the real Lin Daiyu can be reborn into a peaceful and prosperous era in the next life!

Daiyu suddenly realized that more than a month had passed since she came into this world, and she had unknowingly changed the destinies of many people.

She remembered that in the original novel, after Jia Yucun arrived in the capital, he easily got a job with the help of Jia Zheng, and waited for only two months before he followed Wang Ziteng's path and was appointed to the position of Yingtian Prefecture. The Xue family hurried to the capital because Xue Pan killed someone.

According to the current schedule, by the time they arrived at Shenjing City, the vacancy would have been filled by someone else. Without Zhen Yinglian, Xue Pan would not have killed Feng Yuan, and even the kidnapper had taken the silver and saved his life.

Even if the Xue family had plans to go to the capital, they would not be as hasty as in the original novel. They would definitely prepare calmly before setting off. When they arrived in the capital, they would find that everything was already a foregone conclusion.

After leaving Dongchang Prefecture, Daiyu and her companions only made brief stops in Dezhou of Jinan Prefecture and Cangzhou of Hejian Prefecture. Each time, they would seek out a famous local doctor to come on board to diagnose Daiyu's pulse.

All of this is to create an effect: Daiyu was sick when she got off the boat at Tongzhou Wharf.

The Tianjin dock was bustling with people. A breeze from the canal blew across my face, carrying the salty smell of fresh river food. In the past, Daiyu might have asked Lan Rui to buy some fresh river food and cook it for herself.

As soon as she stepped on solid ground, the nausea in her stomach dissipated a lot. Daiyu leaned her whole body on Lan Rui, and Qinghe supported her on the other side.

Not far from the pier was the largest inn in Tianjin. The group walked into the lobby in a mighty procession. The innkeeper came forward with a smile on his face and said, "Dear guests, I am very sorry. Our inn has been reserved by a distinguished guest, and the rooms are full."

Lan Rui was about to step forward but was stopped by Daiyu.

Nanny Wang stepped forward and asked, "We didn't intend to stay in the guest room. Is there a second courtyard?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Songzi, why don't you take the guests over to have a look!" The shopkeeper smiled happily.

Even though the small courtyard on the second floor has only seven or eight guest rooms in total, the rent is five taels of silver a day, which is much more expensive than the price of a guest room.

"Puchi! Pine nuts! There won't be anyone calling it walnuts!" Green Rose laughed.

The group walked through the lobby and headed towards the backyard.

Daiyu suddenly felt someone was watching her. She turned around and pretended to be calm, and saw a red figure flashing in a guest room on the third floor.

"What a keen perception! As expected of the daughter of Lin Tanhua, she is truly different from others." The young man whispered.
