Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Grandmother Jia was still knowledgeable. She pointed at Xichun and said with a smile, "Look at her monkey! This palace flower and the step-shaking ornaments are similar in function. If a girl wears this kind of golden palace flower and keeps it motionless while walking, it means that she has learned the manners and rules very well."

Hearing this, Daiyu suddenly felt disgusted. She didn't want any of them. Isn't this a typical example of how feudal society poisoned women?

Seeing that the girls were frightened by what Grandmother Jia said, Wang Xifeng suddenly had an idea and tried to smooth things over: "Alas, I don't understand what the palace flower hairpin is. I am just a layman. I just think that this gold thread can be exchanged for some silver even if I don't wear it!"

"Hahaha! That's right!" Grandmother Jia smiled and patted Wang Xifeng's shoulder, her action being particularly intimate.

Although Wang Xifeng was Lady Wang's niece, Grandmother Jia liked her very much, and she was also more favorable to Jia She's family.

However, because Wang Xifeng has not been in charge of the household recently, the guilt that Jia's mother had felt for her favoritism towards Jia Zheng has resurfaced.

"Alright!" Daiyu looked at Sanchun and Wang Xifeng, "There are two big boxes here! I can't wear them all by myself, and none of you can escape! Apart from these plain ones, share the rest!"

In addition to the plain ones, there are sixteen more in the box.

Hearing this, even a cold and aloof person like Li Wan couldn't help but be moved.

Daiyu noticed that there was a glimmer of joy in her originally dead eyes, so she walked over to her and asked, "Sister Zhu, will you pick two too?"

The light in Li Wan's eyes immediately went out, and she said evasively, "I am a widow, how can I wear flowers!"

"You wear flowers to make yourself happy, not to show off to others!" Daiyu picked up a dark green chrysanthemum with tender yellow stamens in the middle and put it on Li Wan's hairpin.

Then Daiyu turned to Jia Lan and asked, "Brother Lan, does your mother look beautiful wearing flowers?"

"Beautiful!" Jia Lan was only five years old at that time, and he looked chubby and cute.

In the end, Daiyu forced two flowers into Li Wan's hand, Wang Xifeng got four, and the three sisters got three each. The remaining purple peony-shaped palace flower was pinned in Jia's mother's hair by Daiyu.

She tilted her head to admire her masterpiece and said with satisfaction, "What do you think? Let our ancestors wear this flower to set an example for us, okay?"

Wang Xifeng immediately agreed, "I think this is a great idea!"

"Hehehe!" Grandmother Jia was in a particularly good mood all night, and rarely did she bring up the matter of letting Wang Xifeng be the housekeeper.

Although Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Daiyu noticed Wang Xifeng's strangeness, so she took her arm and comforted her, "My dear sister-in-law, you should have two children in three years before you can be a manager. Do you think I am right, sister?"

"You little mischievous ghost!" Wang Xifeng was amused by Daiyu and pinched Daiyu's cheek with a red face. "By the way, what was that thing you gave me to drink last time? Since the miscarriage, I feel much better and my stomach doesn't hurt as much as before."

"It's the hot water on your table. I think my sister-in-law was overworked during that period. She was pregnant and still managing the affairs of hundreds of people in the mansion. It was both physically and mentally taxing."

Daiyu lowered her head to hide her disdain, and her tone was still cheerful: "I think there are no problems in the affairs during the New Year. It can be seen that my aunt is still very capable. Even if she chants Buddha's name every day, the family can't turn over her palm!"

Until Wang Xifeng returned to her own courtyard, she was still thinking about Daiyu's words. Things that she had not cared about before became clear to Wang Xifeng after being pointed out by someone.

"Qinghe, we were talking in the front just now, could you hear us in the back?" Although Daiyu had just spoken to Wang Xifeng in a very low voice, she was still worried that there might be ears on the other side of the wall and someone might have eavesdropped on them and then told Mrs. Wang what she was saying, which would expose her.

Qing He immediately took two steps forward and said, "Girl, I didn't hear it clearly from behind."

"Yeah." Daiyu felt relieved now.

These maids have already developed the ability to sense qi, so they can't hear it clearly, so there is no need to worry about the ordinary servants.

Daiyu was only staying in the Jia Mansion temporarily. There was no need for her to fall out with Mrs. Wang, and even less need for her to get involved in all this mess.

I have to say, Lixiangyuan is a really great place.

The next morning, before daybreak, Daiyu went to bed late because she had been late for class the night before. She was sleeping soundly when she heard someone talking outside.

Daiyu didn't want to get up, so she turned over, covered her head with the quilt, and continued to sleep. It was not until the usual time for her to get up that a maid came in quietly and helped Daiyu get up.

"Who was making noise outside this morning?" Daiyu asked and then took a big mouthful of porridge.

She has become accustomed to this rhythm of life: eating something to fill her stomach in the morning, then paying her respects to Lady Jia, and then adding some side dishes when dining with her.

Since she came to the Jia Mansion, Sanchun would also have breakfast with Grandmother Jia. Unlike before, except for important days, they usually ate in the side room by themselves.

"In the morning, two maids came to ask the young lady when she got up." Xueyan stood aside and picked up some food for Daiyu.

The staff around Daiyu was basically fixed. Zijuan and Honglian usually did not leave the yard, while Xueyan, Lanrui, Qinghe and Luluo, one active and one quiet, took turns accompanying her out in pairs. There was no way to have an extra group of replacement people.

"There are still not enough people!" Daiyu couldn't help but sigh.

Xueyan felt a little uneasy: "Miss, do you think Xueyan did something wrong?"

Daiyu glanced at her and thought to herself that since these maids came to her side, Xueyan seemed even less impressive. No wonder Jia Mu looked down on Xueyan in the original novel and thought she was too young.

Although the maids around Daiyu were all in healthy competition, Xueyan was always uneasy, feeling that she was outdone by her later sisters.

"Don't think too much. You all have your own strengths and advantages. I'm thinking that there are still not enough people around to serve me. No one goes out to help me get information.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the old lady seems to be indifferent to everything on the surface. In fact, she knows everything that happens in the mansion very well." Daiyu curled her lips and suddenly thought of the two maids in the morning.

"I don't know what the personalities of these two maids are like and whether they are easy to get along with." Daiyu thought to herself that maybe the arrival of these two maids would make Nanny Wang feel relieved and they would be responsible for helping her to gather information in the future.

Daiyu was in a good mood and ate two extra eggs without noticing. Naturally, she ate even less when she was with Grandmother Jia.

But she did not forget the main purpose of her visit. She snuggled up to Grandmother Jia, hugged her arm and rocked her, saying, "Grandma, the emperor has awarded two foster nurses. Can you return the nurse you gave me to my grandmother?"

"Oh! My dear, please don't shake it." Grandmother Jia smiled and patted Daiyu's hand. "Since I have given it to you, how can I return it?"
