The little girl's face is obviously rounder than it was half a year ago, which makes people feel happy.

Wang Tingyu recalled that Ah Yao always mentioned this girl in front of him, and said, "Come to think of it, your mother and I were friends before your mother followed Lord Lin to Jiangnan. My mother even mentioned you specifically, saying that she would send you an invitation when the mansion held a flower viewing banquet."

Ah? Daiyu's mind was in a mess. She was wondering, Jia Min also knew this man's mother? She had never heard of this before!

Daiyu seemed to be in a trance, stammering, "But...but I haven't finished my mourning yet!"

Poor Jia Min was often used as a shield by Daiyu. She silently chanted a Buddhist mantra in her heart and decided that when Qingming Festival came, she must donate more incense money to pray for Jia Min.

"I was inconsiderate." Wang Tingyu's tone softened, not as serious as when he announced the decree. "I will go back and tell mother that I will send you a letter after you finish your mourning."

Daiyu was only as tall as Wang Tingyu's waist. She lowered her head slightly so that Wang Tingyu wouldn't see her eyes which were wide open at the moment.

[What do you mean! Why do you have to post to me? ]

Daiyu's mind quickly flashed through the whispers that Lan Rui had just said to her. Could it be that he has fallen in love with Sister Yingchun?

Wang Tingyu didn't know what Daiyu was thinking, which had nothing to do with reality. He whispered, "Lord Lin asked me to bring you a message, telling you not to worry, he will protect himself."

Then he turned around and left with his men.

Daiyu watched them leave until they were completely out of sight, then she collected her thoughts and ordered people to put all the rewards into the warehouse.

"Two maids, please go to the side rooms and have a rest first. After we have finished cleaning, we will set off back to the Jia Mansion. Thank you for your hard work, maids." Daiyu bowed respectfully to the two maids.

"As you should." The two maids had already started observing the people in the Lin residence since they got off the carriage. They found that although they were young, they behaved properly and were very sensible.

This made the two maids feel relieved. At first, they were worried that the emperor would just randomly stuff them into the homes of his subjects. Now it seems that this might really be a good place to live in retirement.

Daiyu followed the maids to check the emperor's rewards. Wang Tingyu just read out such a long list of items, but she didn't listen carefully. It's amazing that Wang Tingyu wrote it down.

"Girl! Look how beautiful these palace flowers are!" Luluo held two boxes and excitedly presented them to Daiyu.

Daiyu was delighted when she saw it. She didn't know what kind of palace flowers Aunt Xue gave to the sisters in the garden, but it was definitely not earlier than this time, nor more grand.

She opened the two boxes and looked through them, picked out a few of the more elegant ones and put them together, saying, "Take these two boxes of palace flowers with you. They will be perfect for distributing to the sisters when we return."

"Aren't you going to take out these four plain-colored flowers?" Qinghe asked as she brought out a smaller empty box.

Daiyu thought for a moment and said, "No, they won't choose these plain colors."

Because they had to receive an imperial edict and repack the things they would take to the Jia Mansion, Daiyu and the others were busy until it was almost time for dinner, when they returned to Lixiang Courtyard.

After entrusting the two maids to Nanny Wang for their entertainment, Daiyu went towards Rongqing Hall, carrying two boxes of palace flowers and two jade ruyi.

Before entering the door, I could hear Wang Xifeng's signature laughter and Jia Baoyu's chattering voice from afar.

"Grandmother, I'm late." Daiyu took off her fur coat and knelt down to salute Grandmother Jia.

"My darling! How could I blame you!" Grandmother Jia pulled her to her side and looked at her carefully, as if she hadn't seen her for many years, her face full of joy.

Daiyu's heart was beating fast and she had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Jia's next sentence was: "Seeing that my two beloved children are doing well, I feel relieved!"

Now, not only did Daiyu want to swear in her heart, but Mrs. Wang's face also turned ugly in an instant.

Daiyu hurriedly changed the subject: "Grandfather, look at these two jade ruyi. When I saw them, I felt that only the grandfather could make such good things, so I gave them to you eagerly!"

She wanted to change the subject as quickly as possible. She really didn't want to hear Lady Jia put her and Baoyu together again.

Daiyu really doesn't have any good feelings towards a man like Jia Baoyu who is irresponsible.

He seems to get along well with his sisters, but in fact he can't protect anyone and has no real sense of responsibility.

This kind of person may not show anything when he is rich, but once he encounters a disaster, his character flaws will be fully exposed.

Sure enough, everyone's attention was attracted by the two jade ruyi in Xueyan's hands.

Wang Xifeng also noticed Daiyu's displeasure. Knowing that Daiyu didn't like to be associated with Baoyu, she quickly used her talent for being good at dancing with long sleeves and flattered with a smile: "I think these two jade ruyi are very suitable for the ancestor. The ancestor is really lucky. The younger generations are thinking about you in their hearts. As soon as they get good things, they rush to send them to the ancestor."

"Yu'er is a good one!" Grandmother Jia grabbed a jade ruyi in one hand and admired it carefully.

Although the quality of these two jade ruyi is not as good as Daiyu's mutton-fat white jade, they are larger in size and the two are almost identical, making them more precious.

"Haha! Great!" Grandmother Jia nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the two jade ruyi to Daiyu and Baoyu respectively, "I'm old, what do I need these things for? I love you two the most, one for each of you, don't accuse me of being partial!"

Daiyu almost wanted to throw the jade ruyi away, but she resisted the urge and laughed awkwardly: "Grandfather, this thing is rare only when it comes in pairs. It would be lonely if it were alone. Why not give both to cousin Baoyu? When he marries his sister-in-law in the future, it will be a token of my love."

Hahahaha——As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall started laughing. Baoyu didn't understand the deep meaning of Daiyu's words, he just scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"Qinghe, bring up the palace flowers!" Daiyu took advantage of everyone's laughter and ordered Qinghe to present the two boxes of palace flowers. She said to Sanchun and Wang Xifeng, "My dear sisters-in-law, and my sisters, please don't think that I am partial to one over the other. I have brought gifts for you too!"

As she spoke, she opened the two boxes, revealing the exquisite palace flowers inside.

"Wow! This is so beautiful, it looks exactly like a real flower!" Wang Xifeng picked up a flower and looked at it carefully. She couldn't help but be surprised. "This palace flower is made of silk. Look, the silk used to tie the petals is all gold!"

Xichun couldn't wait any longer and picked a yellow flower and put it on her head. The petals swayed gently as she walked.

Tanchun also picked up a palace flower and discovered the difference: the ones usually tied with silk threads were made of copper wire, but the one in her hand was obviously softer, and was obviously made of gold wire.
