Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Unexpectedly, Yingchun glanced at Daiyu blankly, ignored her, lowered her head and said nothing.

Daiyu was not amused, and she was about to return to the Jia Mansion, so she was a little depressed. She looked at the people coming and going outside the carriage and thought it was good to be free like them.

She felt more and more that Yingchun's previous idea of ​​escaping death was quite a good one.

Suddenly, Daiyu saw a tall roof in the distance and asked Yingchun curiously, "Sister Yingchun, where is that tall building? Is it a restaurant?"

Yingchun came to the car window, took a look, and sat back down. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Looking at the height, it should be Shenyu Pavilion."

Shenyu Pavilion? Daiyu was confused and her mind was spinning. Could it be a place like Langya Pavilion where intelligence was traded?

Glancing at Daiyu's expression, Yingchun guessed that she must have misunderstood, so she explained: "Shenyu Pavilion is a place where important royal archives are stored. It's not what you think."

Daiyu smiled awkwardly: "Sister Yingchun is indeed worthy of being here two years earlier than me. She knows so many places! I thought this Shenyu Pavilion was the same place as Langya Pavilion!"

Yingchun's breathing paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

May was almost over, Daiyu had been in the Jia Mansion for almost two months, and even Lin Ji had gone to Beijing again, but there was no movement from Mrs. Wang.

"This doesn't seem right! I remember that after Xue Pan killed Feng Yuan, he immediately set out for Beijing. How come it's almost the end of May and we haven't seen any members of the Xue family yet?" Daiyu muttered to herself.

Qingwen, who was embroidering a silk handkerchief nearby, didn't hear clearly, so she asked, "Miss, what are you talking about? What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, just ask Nanny Wang to find Ling Ji for me."

After Qingwen left, Daiyu took out a tonic potion, poured one-fifth of it into the tea bowl, filled it with tea, and continued to meditate.

Since she started practicing the basic internal skills, her internal strength has been improving day by day. She can now use the skill she showed in front of Honglian several times in a row.

However, the progress of Qinggong skills is still relatively slow, because how long this lightness skill can last depends on the accumulation of internal strength.

When Daiyu stopped practicing, she saw Lin Ji waiting outside the floor-to-ceiling grille, and he had already finished the tea in the bowl in the main hall.

Daiyu sat at the head of the table and asked, "How do you know that cup of tea is for you?"

Lin Ji smiled foolishly, touched his head, and replied: "I asked Sister Qingwen, and she said that this tea bowl appeared on the table after she took the young lady's instructions and went out. The young lady did not look for anyone else during this period. Moreover, this tea bowl is used to entertain guests, not for the young lady to use herself. So I dare to guess that this was given to me by the young lady!"

Daiyu's face showed no expression of appreciation or displeasure: "Well, you guessed it right, but don't speculate on the master's thoughts like this in the future. This is a taboo!"

Lin Ji restrained his smile, bowed and clasped his fists: "I know I was wrong!"

"Forget it, just remember it next time. Lan Rui should have told you that if you make a mistake, you will not have this tonic for two years."

"Yes, I will remember it!"

Daiyu did not dwell on this point, but asked about something she was concerned about: "Does the Lin family have anyone in Jinling?"

"Yes, young lady. The last time I went back, the master told me about some of his spies in Jiangnan."

"Send a message back to ask where the Xue family of Nanjing is. If there is a detailed itinerary, report it as well. Oh, and send someone to find out what the current situation is of Jia Yucun, who came with us to the capital."

"Yes!" Lin Ji clasped his fists, took the order and went down immediately.

Not long after, Lin Ji came back and reported, "Miss, I just asked my subordinates. The master Zheng in the mansion admired Jia Yucun's knowledge very much. As soon as he entered the mansion, he wrote a letter to seek a vacancy for him to be reinstated. It's just that Jia Yucun came a month late, otherwise he could have filled the vacancy of Yingtian Prefecture. Now Master Zheng has arranged for him to study in the Jia Mansion."

puff-

Daiyu couldn't help laughing. Seeing Lin Ji's puzzled expression, she hurried to explain: "I heard that Mr. Jia had taught Zhen Baoyu at the Zhen family in Jiangnan before he came to our Lin family. But he thought Zhen Baoyu was too naughty, so he quit the job.

Now he has entered the family school and teaches the children of the Jia family. Hahaha, it’s no good, Brother Linji, you go down first! If there is anything, I will let Lan Rui find you! "

Daiyu tried hard to hold back her laughter, and only after Lingji left did she burst into laughter, holding her stomach.

"Miss!" Nanny Wang heard Daiyu's laughter and walked in quickly, advising her disapprovingly, "Miss, there are so many people in the alley, you can't laugh like that anymore!"

"Ouch, ouch! Dear mother, please rub my belly! It hurts from laughing!" Daiyu lay on the kang on her side and repeated to Nanny Wang what Lin Ji had reported to her just now.

Nanny Wang couldn't help laughing, but she wasn't as outrageous as Daiyu. She tapped Daiyu's nose and said, "You little mischievous ghost!"

"Mom, please ask Brother Linji to ask the gatekeepers or the people living in the back street later. Mr. Jia's days studying at home must be very interesting!" After saying this, Daiyu laughed mischievously again.

In fact, Jia Yucun did spend a difficult time in the Jia family school. Things did not turn around until Wang Ziteng went on a border patrol. But that is a story for later.

A month later, Daiyu finally received the news from Jiangnan. She looked at the words on the note and felt angry and amused.

The Xue family hurriedly came to Beijing from Nanjing nearly two months ago. Without Honglian this time, Xue Pan did not have a conflict with Feng Yuan, but he competed with the newly appointed son of the prefect for the girl in the brothel, thus offending the prefect, so he hurriedly packed up and left Nanjing.

But since leaving Jinling, they have been walking and stopping along the way, visiting the mountains and rivers, and their life was even more comfortable than when Daiyu and her friends first came to the capital.

Daiyu sneered and slowly burned the note in her hand.

She had asked Lin Ji to find out about the background of the newly appointed Yingtian prefect. But the Lin family was not well-informed in the capital, and Daiyu could only guess from a few words that the prefect was not close to the four kings and eight officials.

The incident with Xue Pan made Daiyu even more certain of her suspicion that the emperor was trying to place his own people in the Jiangnan area.

Daiyu was secretly happy. She was quite happy to see the officialdom in Jiangnan become chaotic. This way, her father Lin Ruhai would become even less noticeable and no one would want to take action against him.

"Lan Rui, tell the gatekeepers and maids to be alert and guard the gates. We also need to arrange for our people to be stationed at the back door. We cannot rely solely on the people from the Jia family."

"Yes, young lady!" Lan Rui would not act on her own, thinking that the young lady had already given instructions before, and would not be lazy and not remind the maids for the sake of saving trouble. If something really went wrong in the future and someone sneaked in, she would be the first to be punished.
