Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Yingchun's voice was trembling a little, and it was obvious that this news was a big blow to her.

Daiyu told her in detail what happened that day, and then comforted her, "Don't worry, sister. I have sent someone to find out. But I have limited manpower in Shenjing City, so I haven't found out yet.

I will tell you when I have news. But this man was wearing a Qilin costume when he announced the decree, and he was accompanied by a team of guards. I think he must be at least a fifth or sixth rank official. "

Hearing this, Yingchun felt relieved: "Fortunately he is not a eunuch!"

Then she whispered with self-mockery: "I am just a concubine's daughter in a general's mansion with no real power. How can I be worthy of him?"

Yingchun's hand loosened Daiyu's wrist and slid weakly onto the bed.

This sister, is she just in love?

Daiyu was worried and subconsciously moved away from Yingchun. She heard that love-brain was contagious, and she was so scared!

When Yingchun came to her senses, she saw Daiyu had almost retreated to the bed cabinet. She asked with a complicated expression: "Why are you hiding so far away? I can't beat you."

"I heard that love-brain is contagious..."

"I'm not in love!" Yingchun brought Daiyu back to her and began to tell her about her first meeting with Wang Tingyu.

It turned out that when Yingchun first came to this world, she only wanted to escape. Unfortunately, she only knew some martial arts at that time, but two fists could not beat four hands. Facing the siege of a group of gangsters, she was powerless to resist.

Those hooligans not only wanted to steal her travel money, but also wanted to sell her to a dirty place.

It's just like that, in a very clichéd way, when Yingchun was in despair, Wang Tingyu heroically rescued the beauty and quietly sent her back to the back street of the Jia Mansion.

Because Yingchun had not been away for too long, she made up an excuse, saying that she was playing hide-and-seek with the maids and fell asleep in the rockery. This incident did not cause any waves in the Jia family.

However, Yingchun did not tell Daiyu that she had passed on the news of the Jia Mansion to Wang Tingyu. Daiyu also concealed the fact that she had already noticed that Yingchun had connections with the forces behind Wang Tingyu.

Both of them had their reservations, but their relationship unexpectedly grew closer.

After Yingchun's heart was untied, she smiled more often. Even Tanchun and Xichun noticed this, but they didn't think too much about it, just thinking that Yingchun and Daiyu had talked it out.

Another day, Lingji hurriedly walked into Daiyu's study from outside, bowed and said, "Miss, there is news!"

Daiyu finished writing a whole page before she put down her pen and asked, "What's the news?"

"There's news!" Lin Ji replied, "The gentleman who came to our house to announce the decree last time was promoted to the Southern Pacification Office recently because he found several rare items for the emperor. His specific position is still unknown."

Daiyu pondered, her fingers unconsciously stroking the white jade around her waist: "He can wear the Qilin costume, so he must be a high-ranking official. Did you find out where he came from? The gentleman mentioned before that the elders in his family knew my mother."

"My lady, that gentleman was very alert, so we didn't dare to follow too closely. We only followed him to the General's Mansion and then returned."

Daiyu nodded: "Okay. Then you can go and find out what's going on in the General's Mansion. You don't have to follow anyone else."

"Yes!" Lin Ji clasped his fists and continued, "There is also news from the south. According to the Xue family's previous speed, they will arrive in Beijing in three months. Also, the master sent this year's birthday gift and silver to the young lady, and I have asked Nanny Wang to register them for storage."

"Well, well done." Daiyu nodded and thought for a moment, then instructed, "Brother Linji, pick a few capable people to help me find out what the Xue family brought into Kyoto."

Lin Ji hesitated, not understanding why Daiyu sent someone to do this: "Miss, just to investigate?"

"Yes." Daiyu added, "Pick some smart people to do this and let them do it freely. I mainly want to know if they have brought anything that shouldn't be in the inner house."

Lin Ji was a little confused when he first heard it, but after asking Nanny Wang, he understood everything.

After Daiyu gave Lingji instructions, she stood up excitedly and said, "Let's go and see what birthday gift Daddy will give me this year!"

After the Flower Festival, Daiyu turned nine years old.

Because of the effects of the medicine and adequate nutrition, her height kept rising, and she looked almost as tall as Baoyu. Now Baoyu disliked standing next to Daiyu even more, and Daiyu wished he would do the same.

"Aunt, this is what my father asked me to give to Gongzhong."

Daiyu specially chose to have breakfast, and in front of everyone, she took out a silver note worth one thousand taels and presented it to Mrs. Wang with both hands.

"Brother-in-law is so polite!" Mrs. Wang did not take the banknote, but gestured to the maid behind her to come forward and take the banknote.

Daiyu was still smiling, and did not show any displeasure because Mrs. Wang asked the maid to take her banknotes: "Aunt, is the New Year's gift from Daddy all right?"

"It's 20% more than last year." Mrs. Wang smiled faintly.

Mrs. Wang and Lady Jia had suggested several times before that Wang Xifeng take over the housekeeper's duties, but she always refused with various excuses, saying either that she was not feeling well or that Yuan Jie'er was difficult to take care of.

In short, Wang Xifeng was unwilling to take over the affairs of the household. Mrs. Wang was also annoyed and stopped talking about it.

So when Daiyu asked this question, only Mrs. Wang could answer it personally.

After hearing her answer, Daiyu's smile became even brighter, which somewhat hurt Mrs. Wang's heart.

"It's because daddy is afraid that the old ancestor will get tired of him and won't let me go back to Yangzhou. That would be terrible!" Daiyu said playfully.

"Hahaha!" Grandmother Jia held Daiyu's hand and laughed from ear to ear. "If your father really wants to take you back to Yangzhou, let him come here in person and ask me for you!"

Baoyu listened to half of the conversation and asked in confusion, "Which home are you going back to, sister?"

"Of course it's at home in Yangzhou." Daiyu said to Grandmother Jia with a smile, "I will write a letter to Daddy in a moment and ask him to come and apologize to the old ancestor."

"That's right! With you and a few girls by my side, I don't feel lonely anymore. He wants to take my beloved away, so he has to come and apologize, hehe!"

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng pretended to slap herself in the face and blamed herself, "We daughters-in-law are really useless and deserve to be beaten!"

Grandmother Jia quickly stopped her and said, "You, bring Sister Yuan to me more often. That child is so lovable!"

"The old ancestor is right. The child is weak. When the weather gets warmer, I will bring her to the old ancestor and let her receive his teachings. I think the girls around the old ancestor are all very good. I wonder which family's young master will marry them in the future?" These words not only flattered Lady Jia, but also praised Sanchun. Naturally, Lady Jia was in a good mood.
