Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Daiyu sighed in her heart, while the maids beside her secretly looked at her expression. Seeing that she was just curious and did not look ashamed or shy at all, they could not help but look up to this Miss Lin.

However, they did not go into the backyard of Rongxi Hall, but went to the east. The old maids first asked Daiyu to sit down on the kang, then went in to report.

Daiyu sat on the chair on the east side and took the tea brought by the maid. While drinking tea, she looked at the maids. Their makeup and clothes were much more exquisite than those Daiyu had seen before.

She lowered her head and sipped her tea, wondering to herself: I wonder if the maid named Jinchuan is among them.

But before she finished her tea, a maid dressed more elegantly came out and said with a smile, "Madam, please ask Miss Lin to sit in the inner room."

Daiyu put down her teacup, stood up, and followed the old nanny to the east corridor.

As soon as she entered the three small main rooms in the east corridor, Daiyu felt that the furnishings here were much inferior to those in Jia's mother's Rongqing Hall: the pillows, cushions, and chairs lined up beside the kang were all half-worn, and their condition did not seem even as good as the dress worn by the maid behind her.

When Mrs. Wang saw Daiyu coming, she quickly gave up her seat and sat on the east side. After Daiyu bowed, she did not sit in the seat that Mrs. Wang had just given up, but sat on a chair.

Although she didn't like Daiyu very much, out of courtesy and not wanting the maids outside to hear their subsequent conversation, Mrs. Wang repeatedly pulled Daiyu to the kang.

Daiyu couldn't resist and also wanted to hear whether Mrs. Wang would say those classic words, so she reluctantly and obediently sat down next to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang stared at Daiyu, and Daiyu did not avoid her gaze, allowing her to look at her. Daiyu knew that Mrs. Wang must have thought of Jia Min, who had passed away not long ago, through her face.

Daiyu's makeup today was carefully designed. She deliberately deepened her eyebrows and eye contours to make herself look more like Jia Min.

So when the old lady saw her, she blurted out and mistakenly called Daiyu Min'er.

At this moment, although Mrs. Wang looked calm, Daiyu noticed that the handkerchief in her hand might never be usable again.

After a long while, Madam Wang smiled faintly and said, "What a coincidence! Your uncle is fasting today, so we will see him eventually."

Daiyu took advantage of Mrs. Wang's anger and said, "I came at an inopportune time. It's normal that my uncles are busy with important matters. If I force them, it would seem that I am ignorant."

She had an understanding smile on her face, as if to say, "You are busy, I understand."

Mrs. Wang's body stiffened slightly, and she almost couldn't control the expression on her face.

Daiyu saw the books and tea sets piled on the table and showed great interest: "Aunt, are these books all Buddhist scriptures? My mother didn't teach me to read Buddhist scriptures before, but on the way to Beijing this time, I passed by several large temples, lit lamps and prayed for my mother, and learned some simple Buddhist teachings from the abbots."

Mrs. Wang smiled faintly and said, "You are just like your mother, so lively."

"Really? Aunt, can you tell me about our mother?" Daiyu's face was full of admiration, and every word she spoke was about Jia Min.

Mrs. Wang almost lost her concentration and recited several Buddhist scriptures in her mind before she suppressed her anger.

She said gently, "Your mother was the youngest daughter in the family, the apple of the eye of the old Duke Rong. Her two older brothers doted on her and provided her with the best food and clothing. Later, she married into the Lin family, and her beautiful wedding dress made all the women in the capital marvel and envy her."

At this moment, Daiyu saw that there was finally a hint of humanity on Mrs. Wang's face. Before, she looked like a piece of emotionless wood. Daiyu did not ask her if she was envious, because she did not want to continue to provoke her.

Don't play it so excitingly at the beginning. Make some fake moves from time to time, or make some painless tests to lure your opponent into making a move, thus leading him into a trap designed in advance so that you can hit him with one strike.

Daiyu did not continue to ask questions, and Mrs. Wang felt relieved.

Recalling that when Jia Min got married, she had already married in. Many of the dowry were good things taken out from the old master's private storehouse, and everyone in the capital city was jealous.

Apart from other things, the fact that Jia Min was named after the male child in the family shows how much she was favored by the Jia family. But so what, she has been buried for several months now.

Mrs. Wang came to her senses and felt a little annoyed that she had been led into such a bad situation by this little girl Daiyu.

She returned to the topic she wanted to talk about before: "At present, your three sisters in the mansion are all very good, but none of them can compare to your mother. In the future, you can study together, learn to read and sew, and you will have a companion.

But what worries me is that I have a bad child, a troublemaker in my family. He went to the temple to fulfill a vow today and hasn't come back yet. You'll know when you see him later. None of you sisters dare to provoke him, so don't bother with him in the future."

Daiyu didn't agree in her heart: Who wants to pay attention to him! But she responded: "I usually just read books and copy scriptures. Besides, I'm seven years old now. It is said that boys and girls should not sit at the same table when they are seven years old. I'm afraid the opportunity to meet my cousin is rare."

"Then I feel relieved." Mrs. Wang showed a sincere smile at this moment.

At this time, a maid came back and said, "The old lady has sent dinner."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly took Daiyu through the back door and the west corner door, then along the wide north-south alley, through the east-west hall, and finally entered from Lady Jia's backyard.

On the way, Mrs. Wang also specifically introduced Wang Xifeng's residence, and Daiyu nodded to indicate that she remembered it.

Daiyu knew that there would be another tough battle to fight in the evening, and she could only return to Lixiangyuan to have a good rest after dealing with this one.

After the meal, each maid brought tea. Daiyu secretly observed her sisters' actions before taking the tea and rinsing her mouth.

The dishes in the evening were too greasy, so Daiyu didn't eat much. Drinking tea at this time would hurt her stomach, so she just picked it up and took a sip.

Mrs. Wang chatted with Lady Jia for a few more words, then took Li Wan and Wang Xifeng back home.

A few girls chatted with Jia's mother in the flower hall for a while, and then the maid came forward to report: "Madam, Master Bao is here."

As soon as she finished speaking, a little boy dressed in bright red and looking extremely rich came in, bowed before the old lady, and was soon sent away by Grandmother Jia to see Mrs. Wang.

Daiyu just took a quick glance and found that Baoyu was just as she had expected, showing a romantic appearance at such a young age.

She caressed the white jade hanging around her waist casually, with a smile on her face, and no special expression. She continued to chat with the three girls, as if no one had been there just now.

Yingchun looked at Daiyu from time to time, feeling somewhat puzzled: This Lin Daiyu was not quite the same as described in the book. Her personality was similar, and her words were similar to her tone, but why was there such a big deviation in the plot!

Daiyu also noticed Yingchun's scrutiny and began to get suspicious. She decided to ask the maids to keep an eye on her after she returned to Lixiang Courtyard.

When Baoyu appeared again, he had changed his clothes and put on powder on his face, which made him look more handsome. His eyes were as bright as stars, and it seemed that one could feel his inner feelings at a glance, and that kind of gentleness and affection seemed to melt people into his boundless tenderness.

Daiyu nodded and smiled. Baoyu was indeed handsome, but unfortunately he was not a reliable person. He seemed to value his daughters, but in the original novel, many daughters were burdened by him.

At this moment, Daiyu just felt that she was missing a cup of tea, otherwise she could sip some tea to hide her sadness.
