Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Honglian didn't expect Daiyu to ask this question suddenly. She was slightly stunned, shook her head and said, "No news yet."

"Ruzhou is so big, it's not easy to search one place at a time. Don't worry, I believe we will find your mother eventually!" Daiyu comforted her.

Honglian raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile, and the entire inner room seemed to be brightened up.

She said, "I'm not in a hurry. Even if my grandparents are evil-hearted, they probably won't make things difficult for my mother. Now I'm here with my daughter, waiting for the day when I can be reunited with my mother!"

Daiyu thought about it and agreed, "Yes! I have been looking for almost a year, and there should be news soon. You can keep an eye on the houses in the back street to see if there are any for rent.

If there is a suitable one, you can rent it first, decorate it when you have time, and then when your mother comes, you can move in directly, which can save a lot of effort."

At this point, Daiyu thought that she would be out of mourning for another year. At this time next year, she would be able to return to Yangzhou to finish mourning. By then, the old lady would not restrict her anymore!

The more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became. She couldn't help but call out to Honglian: "Come and help me grind the ink. I want to write a letter to my father!"

Daiyu wrote several pages of eloquent letters, complaining bitterly about Xue Pan's absurdity, and then told Lin Ruhai to write a letter to persuade Lady Jia to allow her to return to Yangzhou to finish mourning.

This was a big deal, and how Lin Ruhai could convince Lady Jia was not her concern. Daiyu gave the letter to Honglian and asked her to give it to Nanny Wang to mail, and then call Lin Ji over.

Before Honglian went out, Daiyu specifically told her not to be alone and it would be best if she could take a few servants with her.

Although Honglian was confused, she still did as she was told.

When Lin Ji entered the main room, before he even bowed to Daiyu, she couldn't wait to say, "Hurry up and send a message to the Lin family's people in Jiangnan. Ask them to find out about famous scholarly families in Jiangnan, or wealthy families like the Zhen family and the Wang family, and mainly find out where the study is."

"Yes!" Lin Ji was already used to his girl's strange orders. As long as the girl didn't put herself in danger, they would do as she asked.

He nodded in agreement and was about to leave when Daiyu asked again, "By the way! Why is there no news from Ruzhou for so long?"

Hearing this, Lin Ji looked a little embarrassed: "We have always been short of manpower, so it took some time."

Daiyu pondered for a moment and said, "If we have enough manpower now, we can send some people to the northwest of Ruzhou to buy some mountain land there, and then settle the newly bought people there. I will be of use to them in the future."

Look, the girl's instructions are getting weirder and weirder! Lingji thought so in his heart and agreed with a confused look on his face.

Daiyu saw his expression and knew what he was talking about. She sighed and said, "Go find two scholars and ask them to teach our people to read and write in the village."

"Ah? I...I want to learn too?" Lin Ji blurted out, but he regretted it as soon as he asked. The girls were giving them a chance to study, and when he asked this, he seemed to be uneducated.

"If you don't learn, will you be able to subdue those guys in the future?"

Daiyu glanced at him and thought: This Lin Ji is loyal, but he is indeed incompetent. If he continues like this, I am afraid he can only be a steward beside me.

Lingji felt a little aggrieved by the question. He scratched his head and replied, "Miss, we are just some family-born children and servants bought back. What's the point of learning these?"

"Is this all your ambition? Even if you are servants in this generation, how can you not plan for the next generation and let them go out to study and become successful?

You also know the situation in the Jia family. Isn't Lai Ma's grandson an example? He is released now. When he is successful in his studies, he will most likely ask my second uncle to donate an official position to change his family status. "Daiyu's tone was full of regret.

Lin Ji was speechless after hearing what Daiyu said, but then he said in horror: "But... but a family that pursues official career cannot have slaves within three generations! If they are reported, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Daiyu sneered, with a hint of disdain in her words: "Linji, why are you so naive? Aren't there enough absurd things in the Jia Mansion? Besides, Dad has been investigating cases in Jiangnan. Which one of them is not a major case of confiscation of property and extermination of the clan? Have you ever seen anyone report it? Can it be reported to the higher authorities?"

For a moment, Lingji felt like something was broken inside him.

Seeing that he was still in a daze, Daiyu sighed in her heart. Lin Ji was still too honest.

She remembered a famous saying, modified it, and said it: "The methods of getting promoted and making money are actually clearly written into the law!"

Lin Ji was completely shocked by Daiyu's words. He widened his eyes and looked at Daiyu timidly: "Girl... Miss, don't scare me!"

This was the first time that Daiyu revealed her ambitions to others.

At this time, the buds of Western technology had already appeared. With her vision and situation, how could she be willing to be trapped in a small backyard as an ordinary woman and leave so many points unharvested? She was still thinking about getting extra rewards after returning!

"You have learned the kung fu I taught you, are you really willing to just be a housekeeper?" Daiyu's words were full of temptation, like Lucifer's whisper, "Think about it, how did the Jia family get started?"

These words were like thunder in Lin Ji's heart, shocking him so much that he could not speak for a long time.

Daiyu waved her hand and asked him to leave: "Okay, go back and think about it carefully. When the teacher is called back, arrange for the people in the courtyard to take turns to study in the farm. The maids around me can just follow the two maids to learn.

By the way, if Honglian and Zijuan go out, remember to send someone to follow them. If you encounter anyone harassing you, don’t be polite, just fight back, the Jia family will back us up!”

Daiyu thought that Lin Ji was not as courageous as Lan Rui. Lan Rui had long had the ambition to be the head coach. As for Lin Ji, the road was paved for him, but he was still timid, which was frustrating to watch!

But she didn't expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly!

Just as Lin Ji walked out with his head down, Lan Rui came in with a smile: "Girl, what happened to Brother Lin Ji? You look like an eggplant hit by frost."

Daiyu stared at Lan Rui, thinking that her arrival was too coincidental, and teased, "Why, are you feeling sorry for her?"

"Girl, what are you talking about!" Lan Rui's face turned red instantly, and she twisted the handkerchief in her hand in panic.

Daiyu's eyes widened. They became a couple so quickly?!

She couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Are you two attracted to each other, or are you the only one who has a one-sided crush on him?"

Lan Rui gave Daiyu a shy look: "Brother Linji is very good! He always gives in to me every time we spar."
