"When the girls grow up, I will definitely find a good marriage for them." There was a gleam in Jia's mother's eyes, and her gaze rested on Sanchun.

Yingchun lowered her eyes, while Tanchun and Xichun were not young anymore, and had learned a lot from Daiyu's nanny recently, and had a vague understanding of "arranging marriages". Their faces flushed and they became shy.

There was a happy atmosphere in the flower hall, but at this moment, Baoyu went crazy.

"What's the good of getting married? In my opinion, it would be better if my sisters and I could stay with our ancestors forever!" He yelled, looking unhappy.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can a girl not get married when she reaches that age?" Grandmother Jia hugged Baoyu lovingly and pressed him tightly in her arms, leaving him unable to say anything.

Daiyu chuckled twice: "Brother Baoyu has a deep relationship with the sisters, which is a good thing. If cousin can make a name for himself in his studies and pass the examination to become a scholar or a juren, uncle will definitely ask for a subsidy for cousin. Then, he will be the support of the sisters."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "With his elder brother Zhu in front of him, I don't expect him to make any progress. It's enough for him to live a good life."

Daiyu did not refute her, but just kept smiling.

Baoyu was the only one present who seemed to want to say something, but the old lady held him too tightly, so he could only whimper to express his protest.

Daiyu and Sanchun sat idly in Grandmother Jia's room for a while and then went back to their rooms.

Yingchun came close to Daiyu and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Can I go with you during Qingming Festival?"

When Daiyu heard this, she just looked at her mischievously.

"Oh! I just want to go out for some fresh air. I don't want to see anyone." Yingchun was anxious and pushed Daiyu again.

"I didn't say anything. You brought this upon yourself. Love-brain is so scary!" Daiyu hugged her arms, looking dodgy.

Just as Yingchun was about to reach out and hit her, Xichun came over and asked, "I only know about pig brains and monkey brains, and I've never heard of love brains."

“Hahaha!” Daiyu laughed so hard that she doubled over. She pointed at Xichun first, then at Yingchun, “Pig brain! Hahaha! A love brain is a pig brain!”

"You!" Yingchun was furious and chased Daiyu out of Jia's grandmother's yard.

As soon as the two entered Lixiang Courtyard, they immediately behaved themselves and pretended to go into Daiyu's inner room, where they continued to play around.

"Good sister, it's useless even if I agree to you! The old lady needs to nod her head!" Daiyu had no choice but to give in because of Yingchun's pestering.

Yingchun then let her go, twirling her handkerchief and saying, "Don't laugh at me for being in love, I really just want to go out with you.

In the past, I hoped that the days would pass quickly so that I could swim freely. But now that you are here, and you can find excuses to go out from time to time, I feel like I can’t hold back my feelings anymore.”

"Don't give me that! I was really doing a ritual! My knees were swollen!" Daiyu pretended to be angry, glared at her with her almond-shaped eyes, and snatched the handkerchief from her hand, "Don't bother me. If you really like her, just go ahead and touch her. What's there to be entangled about?"

At this time, Daiyu paused, glanced out the window, and made sure that no one was in the courtyard before she whispered, "I saw that man, and he is very much valued by the emperor. He is different from those royal family members who only know how to eat and wait for death!"

When Yingchun heard this, her eyes lit up immediately and she asked anxiously, "What else do you know? Tell me now!"

Daiyu couldn't help but look at her twice more. Is this still the same wooden Yingchun?

Yingchun noticed that Daiyu was looking at her with a love-brained look again, and quickly assured her, "Don't worry! I will definitely be able to keep my heart and will never lose myself!"

"I don't know much..." Daiyu told Yingchun roughly what she knew.

In fact, Daiyu knew clearly in her heart that if Yingchun really faked her death and escaped one day, she would no longer exist in the world, and what she did thereafter would not cause any harm to the Jia or Lin families.

"Well, when I find a chance, I'll ask the old lady. I'm leaving now."

After listening to Daiyu's description, Yingchun's passionate heart cooled down a little, and she left Lixiangyuan in a depressed mood.

"Tsk tsk, the opposite sex is really inhumane, they just throw them away after using them!" Daiyu muttered softly.

Qing He walked in from outside and asked, "What is the girl talking about?"

"Nothing! Qinghe, go and call Nanny Wang for me!"

After a while, Nanny Wang came in hurriedly: "Miss, you are looking for me?"

"Have you found out the details of those two maids?" Daiyu put down the book in her hand, which was exactly what she was studying recently.

Nanny Wang stepped forward and whispered to Daiyu, "We have found out that both maids are willing to live in our home until their old age.

Nanny Gu was a little older and had worked with Nanny Liao for many years. They were both released from the palace because of their own request. Nanny Gu also had a nephew from her natal family who was doing some small business in Shenjing City. Butler Gong had already checked him out and found him to be a well-behaved person.

"Mrs. Liao's parents have passed away, and she is not close to her brothers. Butler Gong also went to confirm, and it is true that they have not been in contact for many years."

Daiyu nodded gently: "That's good. Mom, please help me talk to them about the rules of the Lin family these days. If they accept, I will naturally be willing to take care of them in their old age and arrange a good future for Gu Ma's nephew. But the importance of this must be explained to them clearly."

Nanny Wang nodded to show that she understood, then took the order and left.

No one knew what Yingchun said to Grandmother Jia, but Grandmother Jia actually allowed her to accompany Daiyu to Hongji Temple.

The two of them sat in the carriage, and Daiyu asked curiously, "Have you been going out these days?"

Yingchun rolled her eyes at Daiyu in annoyance: "I'm not going out to play under your name!"

"Isn't it?" Daiyu blinked mischievously.

The two of them laughed and made a fuss again.

Recently, Nanny Wang bought Daiyu a lot of gold pendants, such as the gold locket she wore today. It is very delicately made and inlaid with many colorful gems.

These gems were exchanged by Daiyu in the system mall using her points. A small bag could be exchanged for just a few dozen points.

She specially picked out some small gemstones with beautiful colors and asked Nanny Wang to send them to a famous shop in Shenjing City to customize this batch of gold jewelry for her.

Daiyu liked it as soon as she got it, and wore it specially when she went out this time. Apart from the gold lock and the white jade on her waist, she only wore a brocade belt on her head to simply tie up her hair, without any other accessories.

Given her current situation, this kind of dress is not out of the ordinary.

Since Daiyu had to hold several rituals in Hongji Temple every year, she simply rented the small courtyard house where she often lived, thus saving the trouble of having to come in advance to rent a house every time.
