Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

After hearing this, Pearl buried her head even lower, while Qingwen and Amber seemed to have no reaction.

At this time, Yuanyang came forward from behind the old lady and reported back: "These maids are all good at sewing. The best one is definitely Qingwen."

When Daiyu heard this, she said coquettishly, "Grandma, are you willing to give it up?"

Grandmother Jia laughed out loud and said, "Why would you be reluctant to leave? Qingwen, are you willing to follow Daiyu?"

Qingwen walked up to Lady Jia and kowtowed respectfully to Daiyu: "Thank you for your grace, old lady!" She was originally bought into the mansion by Nanny Lai, and now following this cousin was much better than being given to a servant or becoming a concubine to some master.

Daiyu took a closer look at Qingwen and found that she was indeed somewhat similar to herself in her eyes and eyebrows, with a bright and romantic charm. No wonder Qingwen was liked by Baoyu and feared by Xiren. In the end, she reported it to Mrs. Wang and was driven out of the house while she was still ill.

"This sister's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to mine!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at Qingwen and laughed to express their agreement, making her blush.

Amidst the laughter and chatter, the maid brought up tea and fruit. Wang Xifeng personally served the old lady and Daiyu tea and fruit, and was so attentive that Daiyu felt a little uncomfortable.

Then I heard Mrs. Wang ask Wang Xifeng, "Feng girl, have the maids and servants received their monthly wages this month?"

"It was over a long time ago. I just took some people to the back building to look for the satin. We searched for half a day but couldn't find it as Madam said yesterday. I guess Madam remembered it wrongly?"

Mrs. Wang said, "It's not a big deal. Just take out two pieces and make clothes for your sister. Don't forget them."

Without waiting for Wang Xifeng to reply, Jia's mother said, "Take two rolls of plain satin. Your sister is in mourning and cannot wear brightly colored clothes."

"Hey, hey! I'll send it to you after Madam goes back and takes a look at it," Wang Xifeng replied.

Mrs. Wang smiled, nodded and said nothing more.

Daiyu said at this time: "Grandmother is right. I brought a lot of clothes from home, so I don't need these things. If my sister-in-law made me bright red or green clothes, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for several years before I can wear them.

I used to hear my mother say that my sister-in-law is a hero among women. It is really hard for her to help my aunt manage such a big pile of things. I dare not trouble my sister-in-law.

Wang Xifeng felt proud after hearing her compliment, but she always felt that something was wrong.

Daiyu took out a banknote from her sleeve and handed it to Wang Xifeng: "Before Dad came, he gave me a banknote to cover my daily expenses."

Wang Xifeng instinctively wanted to return the banknote, but when she thought about the expenses in the mansion, she hesitated.

Grandmother Jia frowned and said, "You girl, how can you be so unorthodox!" As she said that, she wanted to take the banknote back from Wang Xifeng.

"Grandmother, please listen to me." Daiyu squeezed Wang Xifeng's hand tightly. "You took the trouble to educate me, and I am grateful. But after all, I came to live with my uncle. One more person means one more expense. How can I trouble my aunt and sister-in-law? Besides, this is also what Dad wants!"

Grandmother Jia couldn't take out the banknotes at the moment, so she had to give up: "Since that's what Ru Hai wants, then so be it. The maids in your yard will receive the same monthly salary as the maids at home."

Daiyu's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Grandmother, have you thought of how to arrange for me?"

Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "You are the only one who can give Grandmother a hard time. There is only Lixiang Courtyard in the mansion, which is the most suitable. There is also a small door in the northeast corner leading to the back street. I will send someone to guard it, just relax, no one will break in."

"Thank you, grandmother, for your consideration!" Daiyu looked at Lady Jia with tears in her eyes. From the corner of her eye she saw Mrs. Wang's hands clenched for a moment, and then she quickly let go, not knowing what she was thinking of.

Daiyu snorted in her heart. It seemed that Mrs. Wang had known for a long time that the Xue family was going to Beijing and had made preparations early on. Who knew that Daiyu had taken the lead this time.

She hasn't complained to Lady Jia yet!

Daiyu didn't go to Beijing secretly, but the old lady sent someone to Yangzhou to pick her up. It's been three months, and her accommodation is still not ready.

The old lady is old and easily forgetful, but Wang Xifeng, who is always careful about everything, can't possibly forget too!

Daiyu smiled and said to Nanny Wang who was waiting at the door, "Madam Wang, the old lady has spoken. Please go and inform Manager Gong and Lan Rui and ask them to help me manage the yard first."

She felt a sharp gaze from the side, and she turned her head to see that it was Madam Wang. However, Madam Wang's gaze soon softened: "You are too polite, girl. Why do you bring so many people with you to your grandparents' house?"

Daiyu achieved her goal and smiled. She smiled brightly: "Although these girls have only been serving me for a short time, I can't leave them. Just looking at their beautiful faces is pleasing to the eyes!"

"What books does sister usually read?" asked Tanchun who was sitting next to her.

Daiyu nodded and replied, "I was studying the Four Books before I came here. I wonder what books you are reading?"

"Haha, they just know a few words, they are not blind." Grandmother Jia laughed.

"I just heard that the sisters are still in school. Can I go with them?"

"of course can!"

The sisters were talking together again, with bright smiles on their faces, which made Mrs. Wang's back teeth almost broken.

After having tea and snacks, Grandmother Jia ordered two old maids to take Daiyu to meet her two uncles.

Xing stood up quickly and said with a smile, "How can I trouble the old lady's family? It would be convenient if I take her with me."

"That's right! You can go too. There's no need to come over."

"Yes!" Xing took Daiyu and said goodbye to Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang.

Daiyu followed Xing to Jia She's courtyard, but as expected, she didn't see anyone; later she went to Mrs. Wang's, but naturally she didn't see Jia Zheng either.

She said "What a coincidence!" with a smile on her face, but she made a silent note in her heart and planned to write a letter to her father when she returned.

At this moment, Daiyu followed the two maids sent by Xing into the main courtyard of Rong Mansion. After passing through the ceremonial gate, it was the square in front of the south hall, which was about two acres in size, equivalent to three basketball courts.

After the south hall, through the inner gate, there are five large main rooms in the north. In the middle of the main room, there is a large plaque with nine red dragons on a green background, with the three characters "Rong Xi Tang" written in large letters.

An uneducated person like Daiyu (Dai Yu), facing these luxurious furnishings, can only express the most primitive amazement in her heart.

However, she could not remember any of the fancy adjectives or names from the previous system courses, and could not help but feel that she had wasted the course.

At this moment, she was extremely thankful that the names of these utensils were not tested in the quiz. Otherwise, she would have to stay up all night for several nights before she could barely remember the names of these tables and decorations.

Looking at such a magnificent main courtyard, but seeing that no one lived there, Daiyu couldn't help feeling a little sorry.

Jia Zheng wanted to move in, but he was embarrassed because it was not legitimate. Even if the old lady allowed them to move in, Jia Zheng, who cared about his reputation as a scholar, would not dare to do so.

As for Jia She, it was simply because his mother didn't love him - the eldest son who inherited the title couldn't live in the main courtyard. The old lady's reason was also very simple, she was still alive!
