Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

The appearance of Daiyu has changed the plot a lot. At least the story about the Buddhist treasures in Hongji Temple is not in the original novel. She knows that many things in the future cannot be completely based on the original novel.

Now it is more like a real world. She is an NPC who has awakened her self-awareness in this world. Only by exploring and developing the outside world can she make it more complete and real.

"By the way! I also saw Miss Yingchun talking to a man!" Lan Rui suddenly raised her voice, startling Lin Daiyu so much that her knees bounced unconsciously and she almost kicked Nanny Wang.

Nanny Wang tapped Lan Rui's forehead unhappily: "You, you!"

"I just thought you had become more mature, but now it seems that you are still a child who has not grown up!" Daiyu immediately removed Lan Rui from her list of people to be improved.

"Miss, I'll remember this. Please don't think of this as a mistake!" Lan Rui looked at Daiyu pitifully, her eyes full of pleading.

"Don't do it again!" Daiyu recalled what Lan Rui had said just now and asked, "Did you see clearly who Sister Yingchun was talking to?"

"I don't know him, but I will definitely recognize him next time I see him. He is about 20 years old and quite handsome. When Miss Yingchun stands in front of him, it seems that the whole person has come alive and is not so rigid, hehe!"

"Okay, that's all you need to know about this. Sister Yingchun has her own ideas, so don't show them in front of her in the future. She's very perceptive!"

"I know, girl. You see, I didn't say anything to her today!" Lan Rui felt that she had done a good job this time. At least she didn't say anything bad about her in front of Yingchun.

Ugh--

Daiyu sighed and said, "She is different from me. My father raised me as a half-son, and I have you guys around me. As for her father, let's not talk about him. Only Siqi can protect her a little, but she can't confide in him. Sister Yingchun only has herself in this world. Do you understand the difference?"

Lan Rui nodded as if she understood, while Nanny Wang looked up at Daiyu but did not ask the question in her mind.

This incident at Hongji Temple seemed to be like many grand events in the capital city of Shenjing, which started with great fanfare and then died down without a trace. As for the three Buddhist treasures that were brought into the palace, no one mentioned them for a while.

Only the abbot of Hongji Temple complained to Daiyu in private: "Donor Lin! Fortunately, I followed your advice and did not take out all the Buddhist treasures, otherwise I would really be a meat bun... ahem, you know what I mean!"

"You are really amazing. In just two months, you have dug out two such large underground palaces under the Sutra Library." Daiyu followed the abbot and entered this mysterious underground space from the cellar of the Sutra Library.

Fortunately, Nanny Wang did not come along this time, otherwise she would definitely not allow Daiyu to follow the monk into the secret room.

"There are indeed many talented monks in our temple. They dug through the passage to the previous dark room, and based on it, they dug out these two underground palaces." The abbot was quite complacent.

Under his leadership, Hongji Temple finally saw the dawn of prosperity. He even foresaw the spectacular scene of the monks in his temple debating with other monks at the future Zen Conference.

"Abbot! The abbot has come back to his senses!"

In this dim and narrow passage, the big monk suddenly laughed foolishly, "Hahaha". This abrupt laughter was particularly creepy in the quiet environment.

"Abbot, does the person above know what's down there?"

When the abbot heard Daiyu's question, his expression became a little unnatural. He secretly thanked himself for the dim environment, so the little girl could not see the strangeness on his face.

"I know. Later on, someone came to summon me to see the emperor. Nominally, it was to let me preach, but actually it was for this matter. Hehehe!" As the abbot spoke, he seemed to remember something and started to grin foolishly again.

Daiyu was speechless. She guessed that the monk must have trembled in front of the emperor and confessed everything after being frightened. However, the emperor should not have the intention to take it for himself, otherwise he would have sent the imperial guards to take away all the things dug out.

The abbot finished laughing and waited for a while but Daiyu didn't ask any more questions. He was a little disappointed: "Aren't you curious about the emperor's will?"

"What's there to be curious about?" Daiyu expressed her guess, and the result was almost the same as the fact. Of course, she didn't mention the monk's sliding knees, in order to save him some face.

"Things are almost as you guessed. After the Puppet Festival, the imperial edict will come down. In the past, we only received the name granted by the late emperor. Even if we cannot become a royal Buddhist temple this time, we can still undertake some large-scale rituals by the emperor. In this way, the reputation of our Hongji Temple will be known!" The abbot was wandering in the bright future, with fire flashing in his eyes.

Daiyu had an ominous premonition: in the coming years, the struggle between the retired emperor and the emperor would intensify, and it was hard to say whether there was any deeper meaning behind the emperor's decree at this time.

She couldn't help but remind him, "Don't get carried away. You must control the monks in the temple and don't let anyone catch you!"

"What have you thought of?" The big monk put away his smile in an instant and asked seriously.

"Hongji Temple is just a temple, don't interfere in other matters." Daiyu said so much.

The big monk immediately became alert, remembering that after he came out of Wenhua Palace, he was taken by eunuch Dai to see the emperor.

He couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. He...he didn't seem to have said anything he shouldn't have said!

Daiyu noticed the change in his expression and knew that he had come to his senses. She stopped talking and left after completing the ritual.

As August begins, the last bit of summer heat finally dissipates, and it's time to put away the light summer shirts.

The people in Lixiang Courtyard were busy, and the people in Rongning Mansion were also busy. First, the new bride of Ning Mansion just came home, and then it was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.

The emperor brought the Buddhist treasures and personally went to Hongji Temple. Although Hongji Temple was not enshrined as a national temple, the emperor's pious attitude also attracted many people.

Hongji Temple became famous and attracted the attention of countless people. The outside world focused on Hongji Temple, trying to find their faults, but the people in the temple did not reveal any flaws.

The storm slowly subsided, but only a few people knew whether it had really passed or sunk deeper into the sea.

The people in the Jia family had long forgotten about the matter of Hongji Temple and were busy preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was at this time that Wang Xifeng finally took action.

Since the Qiqiao Festival, there has been no movement from Wang Xifeng. Daiyu knows that the medicine she gave Wang Xifeng to drink has taken effect, but she did not expect it to last until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Except for Mrs. Xing, the whole family gathered at Grandmother Jia's house to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Just as the banquet started, a little maid outside reported that Wang Xifeng had given birth to a baby girl.
