Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Luoluo stuck out her tongue, turned around and was about to wake Lanrui up, but was stopped by Daiyu: "Don't wake her up. If she hasn't woken up when we leave, let her continue to sleep. She followed me out yesterday and worked hard for most of the night."

Although the maids laughed at Lan Rui for sleeping soundly behind her back, they were envious of her for being able to go out and do things with Daiyu.

They made up their minds to practice martial arts diligently, hoping that one day they would be able to defeat Lan Rui and Lin Ji, and also be able to help Daiyu with her work.

Lan Rui didn't know that her sisters had already started competing secretly. She was having a sweet dream at that moment!

When she woke up naturally, Daiyu had already returned to the Jia Mansion.

Although she didn't have to help Lady Jia go to bed, she still had to pay her respects to her after dinner and tell her that she had returned.

Grandmother Jia gave some more instructions, and Daiyu agreed readily.

She really had no plans to go out in the short term. As for whether Jia Min's handkerchief friends would send her invitations after she left the mourning period, she thought it was unnecessary to tell Jia's mother now.

After enduring the nagging of Lady Jia and being nagged by Xichun for a long time, Daiyu returned to Lixiangyuan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to the yard, I ran into Lan Rui who had just returned.

"Girl! Why didn't you call me when you came back? When I woke up, only Sister Qinghe was waiting for me!" Lan Rui followed behind Daiyu, complaining in a low voice.

Daiyu found her cute and innocent look funny: "Isn't it because I understand that you worked hard last night and let you sleep a little longer? Is it wrong for me to be so considerate of you?"

"No, no!" Lan Rui hugged Daiyu's arm, "Next time this happens, you must take me with you!"

"Then it depends on your performance!" Daiyu teased Lan Rui, but glanced behind Lan Rui and saw that Luluo and Qinghe's eyes were flashing with eagerness to try.

She thought to herself, who would go out next time is uncertain!

The Dragon Boat Festival was just a few days away, and Daiyu and Sanchun were gathered in Grandmother Jia's room making sachets.

At this time, Zhou Ruijia came in with a happy face and reported: "Old lady, the second wife's sister who married into the Xue family is here. We just received the news and they just got off the boat!"

The needle and thread in Daiyu's hand paused for just a moment, and then she continued embroidering.

But this embroidery is really shameful.

If Daiyu were asked to break a tree with one punch, it would certainly be easy; but asking her to embroider a blade of grass would be really difficult for her.

Yingchun stole a glance at Daiyu's "masterpiece" and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Look at what you embroidered, what the hell is this!"

"Orchid!" Daiyu innocently held up the embroidery frame in front of everyone. When Lady Jia saw it, she started laughing.

"Okay! You can just embroider a few stitches for your own good. Let the maids embroider the sachet!" Grandmother Jia took Daiyu's embroidery frame and said, "There will be guests coming to our house soon. You should all go change your clothes!"

"Yes!" Sanchun agreed in unison

Yingchun gently tugged at Daiyu's sleeve: "What are you going to wear?"

Daiyu understood what Yingchun meant: "I am still in mourning, what can I wear?"

Daiyu was indeed not dressed too gorgeously, still wearing a long dress made of plain and elegant gauze.

However, she wore the new gold necklace that Nanny Wang made for her, which matched the gold locket and added a touch of color to her look.

The seven gems inlaid on the golden lock are as gorgeous as a rainbow in the sunlight.

Yingchun walked over to Daiyu and sat down, looking at the golden locket, and asked, "Isn't this a little too solemn?"

"Really? I think this is similar to the outfit I wore last time when I went to Hongji Temple?" Daiyu said innocently.

"Stop pretending! You know what I mean!" Yingchun reached out and wanted to poke Daiyu's forehead.

But Daiyu dodged him. She smiled and picked up the embroidery frame and continued to embroider: "It is only right to dress formally to meet guests."

Yingchun originally thought that the waiting time would not be too long, an hour would be enough.

Who would have thought that they would have to wait for more than two hours, until the sun was about to set, before they heard a commotion outside and vaguely heard someone shouting, "She's coming! Madam Xue is here, getting off the car outside the door!"

Daiyu then slowly put down the embroidery frame and stood up.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng had already gone out to greet them, and the other female members of the family were waiting outside the main room.

Daiyu touched Tanchun's gold necklace, then touched Xichun's, and asked Yingchun proudly, "You all wear gold necklaces. How come you can all wear them but I can't?" As she spoke, Daiyu pretended to tickle Yingchun.

Yingchun begged for mercy: "Good sister! I was wrong!"

Time passed quickly amid laughter.

In the three halls opposite, Mrs. Wang walked out slowly, leading a woman; Wang Xifeng was holding a beautiful girl, followed by a large group of maids and servants.

A large group of people walked into the courtyard happily. Mrs. Xue first paid her respects to Lady Jia and exchanged a few words with her. Then it was Xue Baochai's turn to kowtow to Lady Jia.

When Tanchun and Xichun saw the new sisters, they went to greet them curiously, while Daiyu and Yingchun followed behind with polite smiles.

Xue Baochai looked at the girls who had gathered around her, all of them were beautiful and had their own unique features. Although she felt unhappy, she did not show it on the surface.

"Sister Baochai!"

"Meet Sisters Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun!"

The girls greeted each other. Xue Baochai looked at Daiyu and said with a smile, "This must be the Lin family's sister! She is indeed very beautiful, worthy of being a beauty from our Jiangnan water town!"

"Thank you for the compliment, sister!" Daiyu lowered her head shyly and said modestly, "It's just that our ancestors always said that I look more like my mother."

Baoyu also happily followed behind his sisters, staring at Xue Baochai with admiration: "That's great! We have one more sister in our family!"

"You idiot! This is your cousin from the Xue family!" Yingchun couldn't help but joked.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xue had not seen each other for many years, so they reminisced about the past. Sanchun also asked them about their experiences on the way to the capital.

Daiyu was not interested in these things. She quietly walked to Wang Xifeng and asked softly, "How is Sister Yuan recently?"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine. The baby is being weaned recently, so there is a lot of trouble!" Wang Xifeng complained in a low voice, but her tone was full of joy.

"I found two black and white dairy cows on my farm. I heard that people in the north grow tall because they often drink their milk. The farm delivers a bucket of milk every other day. I'll ask the maid in my yard to deliver half a bucket to you."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits: "Then I will thank you on behalf of Sister Yuan!"

At this time, a servant came hurriedly to report that the nanny walked to Wang Xifeng in an indescribable tone and said something in her ear.

Wang Xifeng saw that her face was getting ugly, she spat softly, and smiled awkwardly at Daiyu: "Something happened downstairs, I'm going to report to the madam, we'll talk later."

Daiyu nodded, a playful smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

Mrs. Wang was chatting animatedly with Aunt Xue. Just as they were about to head toward the main room, they heard Wang Xifeng calling them.

Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and said, "Madam, Aunt Xue, something happened up ahead!"
