Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

After Daiyu burned the note, she stared at the brazier without saying a word. Lan Rui saw this and felt a little worried. She was about to go out to find Nanny Wang when she heard Daiyu say, "Go find Lingji."

"Yes!" Lan Rui felt relieved when she saw that Daiyu seemed to have returned to normal.

Soon Lingji and Nanny Wang came in together.

Daiyu had long been accustomed to this, and did not ask Nanny Wang's purpose, but directly asked Lin Ji: "Are there any well-trained maids in the Lin Mansion?"

Lingji immediately understood what she meant. She was talking about maids who knew the rules and were good at martial arts. He nodded and replied, "There are four."

Daiyu nodded to show that she understood, and continued to ask, "Are there any new courtesans in Shenjing City recently?"

Lin Ji was slightly stunned and subconsciously glanced at Nanny Wang, considering how to answer.

Daiyu couldn't help but chuckle when she saw his little action, and said, "What are you thinking about! It's not me who's going!"

After hearing this, Lin Ji immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After a brief thought, he replied, "I heard that a few days ago, a group of Yangzhou skinny horses arrived at Yancui Pavilion. The mother in the pavilion is still teaching the rules, so not many people know about it."

"Well, let's spread this news to the East Palace!" Daiyu wanted to buy some time for Qin Keqing. She also needed to discuss with Qin Keqing to see what her plan was.

After Lingji left, Nanny Wang couldn't help but ask Daiyu, "Miss, why did you want to get involved in the mess in the East Palace?"

Daiyu sighed softly, "What's wrong with girls? Just because we were born as women, we should be shorter than men for no reason? Look at Qin Shi, and then look at Wang Xifeng! Which one of them is not talented and beautiful? It's unfair for them to be paired with Jia Lian and Jia Rong!"

"Young lady, you are still kind-hearted! There are so many unfair things in the world, how can you take care of them all?" Nanny Wang sighed.

Daiyu knew that Nanny Wang was thinking about herself, so she said one more thing: "Nanny, if you don't care, and he doesn't care, and everyone chooses to stand by and watch, then the world will only get worse and worse!"

"The old woman is too short-sighted, and she can't see things as clearly as the girl!"

"Okay, Ma'am, stop flattering me! In fact, I just pity those women and don't want to see them suffer misfortune." Daiyu patted Ma'am Wang's hand.

In Lixiangyuan, there were Nanny Wang and Nanny Gu, one inside and one outside, who took care of all the affairs for Daiyu, making her less worried.

Good news came from Ruzhou, where the mountain land had been purchased. Even this batch of chestnuts were newly bought and sent to Beijing by farmers who had picked them from the mountains.

What’s even more gratifying is that Honglian’s mother, Feng, was also found. It’s really one happy event after another.

The next day, Lin Ji brought back four maids from the Lin Mansion.

The four of them were about the same age as Honglian, but because they started practicing martial arts later and had never taken tonics, their clothes were much thicker than Honglian and the others.

Lan Rui was the one who wore the lightest clothes in Lixiangyuan. She only changed her lining into a cloth skirt, and she looked so beautiful that it was freezing.

Qingwen couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw Lin Ji leading four maids into Daiyu's main room. It was fine if she lagged behind the other six maids, but she couldn't be worse than these few!

She was so anxious that she was pacing around at the corner door, hesitating and not daring to enter the main room.

Nanny Wang noticed Qingwen's strangeness and asked, "Qingwen, what are you doing standing here? Have you finished the tasks assigned to you today?"

"It's done!" Qingwen replied hurriedly.

The maids only arranged half a day's work every day, and the rest of the time was at their own disposal, whether it was studying or practicing boxing.

But Qingwen had no interest in pens and ink. She only knew a few words and recognized her own name.

She glanced in the direction of the main room and made up her mind to ask Nanny Wang: "Nanny, are those the new sisters?"

Wang Ma wanted to see how long she could endure, so she deliberately replied indifferently, "Yes."

Qingwen took a deep breath: "Then can I go in too?"

"Go, go!" Nanny Wang waved her hand and turned back to the courtyard where the servants lived.

In fact, several maids had already accepted Qingwen, but Daiyu said that she was a little arrogant and impulsive, so she needed to be tempered.

Now it looks like it's been polished.

Inside the house, Daiyu was carefully looking at the new maids when she heard Qingwen ask outside the door: "Miss, may I come in?"

Daiyu and Lingji smiled at each other and said, "Come in!"

As the curtain fell, Qingwen walked in. Without looking around, she walked straight to Daiyu and stood still, then she began to look at the maids.

The four of them stood in a row, all looking very calm, with a temperament quite similar to Qinghe, but a bit more lively than Zijuan and Honglian.

Qingwen secretly compared them in her heart and couldn't help feeling a sense of crisis. Although they didn't look as beautiful as she did, the temperament of these maids was not inferior to Qinghe and the others.

She began to reflect on whether she was a little too conceited, always thinking that her embroidery skills and appearance were outstanding, while neglecting her other abilities.

"Do you want to use your own names, or do you want me to give you new names?" Daiyu was thinking in her mind what colors she hadn't used yet.

The four of them knelt down and replied, "Please give me a name, young lady!"

Daiyu's face suddenly turned bitter. She thought for a long time and finally wrote down four names on the paper: White Peony, Okra, Red Rutgers, and Bamboo Herb.

She placed the slip of paper in front of the four people and said, "You can choose for yourself!"

Qingwen took the opportunity to glance at the names above, and then combined them with the names of other maids in the courtyard, and found that these names had something in common.

She felt a little uncomfortable, as if she was excluded from her sisters.

After the four of them had chosen their names, Daiyu looked at Bai Shao and Zhu Hui and said, "I have a very important task for you. Although you all know martial arts, your looks are rather ordinary, so it will be safer for you to take care of Qin."

She motioned to Lingji to take out five teacups, and took out a pot of tea from the inner room and poured it evenly into the teacups.

"You two should drink this." Daiyu turned aside and said to Qingwen, "You should have a drink too."

Qingwen was still thinking about what name she should change to, but she found that her mind was blank. Suddenly she heard Daiyu's words, and her mind was confused for a while. She didn't think much about it and drank the teacup.

The four people below did not hesitate at all. They also picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp, then threw the cup to the ground and broke it.

Daiyu watched their neat movements, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily. She first asked Qiu Kui and Dan Ru to go to the small kitchen for a snack, and then went to find Liao Ma to learn the rules.

As for Baishao and Zhuhui, Daiyu asked them to stay and prepared to explain the content of the task in detail.

Seeing this, Lingji was also about to leave. Seeing Qingwen still standing beside Daiyu, he urged her in a low voice, "Let's go, go downstairs and have a snack!"

"I'm not hungry yet."

"You'll be hungry soon!"
