Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Since Xue Baochai came, she has been with her sisters every day, reading books, playing chess, or doing needlework.

Today was no exception. Several sisters gathered together to do needlework again, but Daiyu alone found it boring and returned to her own courtyard early.

She was sitting in the yard basking in the sun when Lingji hurried into the yard and reported: "Miss, Jia Yucun has resigned from his post as the official and followed Prince Teng out of the capital to patrol the border."

Daiyu smiled after hearing this. She flipped through the book in her hand and said, "He is a patient man. He has been in the private school of Jia Mansion for more than a year. He finally found an opportunity to spread his wings and fly high."

She knew before that Jia Yucun was not a person who was content with the status quo. In this year, he had several opportunities to be sent out to other places, but he did not take them. Now that he followed Wang Ziteng out of the capital, he might really be able to rise to the position described in the original novel.

Lingji asked tentatively: "Miss, should we send him a gift?"

Daiyu waved her hands and said calmly, "No need. Even if you send it to him, he may not remember your kindness. Maybe he still hates us for delaying his journey and causing him to fail to get the lucrative position in Yingtian Prefecture!"

As she spoke, she thought of Xue Baochai's matter again, so she asked again, "Is there any news from outside recently?"

Lin Ji thought for a moment and replied, "The city has been conducting an investigation these days, and the group of idlers we were looking for before are nowhere to be found. The group of young eunuchs have also been missing for a long time. So there is no follow-up to the rumors for the time being."

Daiyu smiled gently, knowing in her heart that this was the reaction from the palace.

"When you go out this time, let the brothers who are carrying out the mission take shelter in the farm for the time being and don't come back for at least two months. Also, when the leader goes out, he must bring the invitation from the Lin Mansion, otherwise he may be easily mistaken for a beggar and arrested!" Daiyu reminded.

"Yes, young lady!" Lin Ji took the note and immediately followed Daiyu's instructions. When she returned to the city, she happened to run into a small flag officer with a team of Jinyiwei who were checking people along the street. Lin Ji was inevitably questioned. This is a later story.

Not long after Lin Ji left, Yingchun came to his door.

Hearing Luluo's report, Daiyu was a little surprised: "You didn't do needlework with them?"

"Are you jealous?" Yingchun sat on the recliner next to Daiyu, also enjoying the sunshine, "Tell me the truth, was it you who did that earlier?"

"What happened just now?" Daiyu pretended to be confused.

"Don't play dumb with me! Didn't you say before that you would find a chance to tell me? Do you know that Jia Zheng has sent a few servants to follow Xue Pan, fearing that he would bring something he shouldn't bring into the inner courtyard again?"

Yingchun had always thought that Xue Pan was ridiculous, but she didn't expect that he was so dissolute at such a young age.

Daiyu smiled mockingly and said to Luluo who was waiting beside her: "Ask Honglian to bring us two bowls of tea."

"Don't interrupt me, I don't want to drink tea now. Tell me what you did!" Yingchun urged anxiously. She was very curious, but Daiyu deliberately kept her in suspense, so she had to wait patiently.

She envied Daiyu very much, not only for her current comfortable life, but also for having so many capable helpers.

Unlike herself, although Siqi is still useful, she is no match for the maids around Daiyu.

Yingchun is now carefully observing the people in Daiyu's courtyard and finds that they are all extraordinary and their martial arts skills are not even worse than hers!

"As expected of the heroine of the original novel, the treatment she receives is different!" Yingchun said sourly.

Daiyu glanced at Yingchun and said, "Don't be jealous. It's just a different start. Who is more noble than who? Look who that is!"

Yingchun followed Daiyu's line of sight and saw an extremely beautiful woman walking in from the courtyard gate, with a rouge mole between her eyebrows.

Yingchun exclaimed, "She! She is Zhen Yinglian!"

"My name is Honglian now." Honglian walked up to her, put down her teacup, and asked with a smile, "Miss Yingchun, do you know me?"

Yingchun picked up the teacup and tried to cover up her gaffe: "I've heard your daughter mention you before, and now that I see you, you're really pretty!"

After Honglian left, she couldn't wait to shake Daiyu's shoulders: "Why is Zhen Yinglian here with you!"

"Will she be given to that stupid Xue? I sent people to look for her as early as when I went to the capital." Daiyu looked at Yingchun with some complacency.

"What else have you done?" Yingchun looked at Daiyu in disbelief. She didn't expect that Daiyu had already started making plans as soon as she arrived, but she had done nothing!

Daiyu said lightly: "It's nothing, it just saved Lin Ruhai and helped Xue Baochai spread her good name.

I think this sister Baochai is being dragged down by Xue Pan. If she could enter the palace and persuade the emperor to do his job well, maybe the world would not be in chaos in the future! Why tie it to Jia Baoyu! "

She knew what she could say and what she couldn't say, so she naturally wouldn't tell Yingchun all her past.

After hearing this, Yingchun's mind was filled with complicated thoughts: [How much time have I wasted! How can I have the nerve to say that Daiyu is favored by the time-travelling god, and I envy her good life now. ]

She left a word "Thank you!" and hurriedly left Lixiangyuan.

For several days afterwards, Daiyu only met Sanchun at Grandmother Jia's house. On this day, she thought she was going to school alone again, but unexpectedly saw Baochai followed by Sanchun into the school.

"Oh! Why aren't you doing needlework today?" Daiyu tidied the table and looked at them with amusement.

Xue Baochai nodded gently and said, "It's not that I do needlework every day. My sisters know that I just arrived and are worried that I won't adapt, so they just keep me company."

"Sister, are you blaming me for not being considerate enough?" Daiyu pretended to be sad, but in fact, she felt calm at heart.

She knew the plot of the original novel, and there was no conflict of interest between her and Baochai at the moment.

As for who the servants in the Jia Mansion like to hang out with, Daiyu doesn't care. In this respect, she has inherited some of Lin Daiyu's aloof personality.

Xue Baochai just smiled gently: "I didn't say that."

Daiyu suddenly felt that it was pointless to play such tricks with her, so she reminded them, "The teacher is coming soon, don't you plan to sit down? You haven't been to school for a few days, and I think you have almost forgotten the rules."

Xichun stuck out her tongue and quickly pulled Tanchun to sit down.

According to age, Xue Baochai should have sat in the front, but Daiyu arrived first and sat in the upper right seat, so Yingchun had to give up her seat and sit behind Daiyu.

After school, Daiyu was about to pack up when Xue Baochai suddenly called her.

Daiyu thought: Sure enough, she has come. She turned to Xue Baochai with a smile and asked, "Sister Baochai, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

"I heard that the palace has assigned two maids. I wonder if I can also go to your courtyard and learn the rules together?" Xue Baochai said generously, even asking for help in a frank manner.
