Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Shishu and Ruhua were very worried when they saw their girls in such a state. They were planning to help the two masters back to their room and ask them about it, but Daiyu stopped them: "They are fine, they just read some profound Buddhist scriptures and were a little lost in thought."

Xichun had indeed been studying Buddhist scriptures recently, so Ruhua quickly believed what she said. However, Shishu was still a little skeptical. She looked at Tanchun and asked, "Miss, are you going to sleep with Miss Daiyu tonight?"

Tanchun seemed to have just woken up from a dream and responded, "Ah? Oh, yes, the sutra that the abbot preached today is actually quite profound."

The four of them were helped by the maids to wash and then lie down on the bed together.

At this moment, Daiyu felt that she was extremely wise: the reason she had taken a liking to this small courtyard was because she liked the row of long kangs, which could accommodate four little girls without feeling crowded at all.

"Come on, let's continue!" said Daiyu.

"No more! No more!" Xichun's voice was filled with tears, and she obviously didn't want to continue the topic before dinner.

Before dinner, Daiyu described to Xichun what she had seen and heard on her way to the capital, focusing on the refugees who sold their children. She also exaggerated and made up some stories about exchanging children for food.

Although Daiyu had not seen it with her own eyes, people who had returned from Ruzhou told her that in some places affected by disasters, the local county magistrates refused to open their granaries to provide relief to the people, forcing the victims to resort to extreme means such as cannibalism to survive.

Daiyu felt horrified when she heard it at the time, and when she told Xichun the story with exaggeration, she was really scared.

Because of this story, Xichun did not touch her favorite fish in vinegar at dinner. (Purely made up, please do not verify.)

"Okay, stop scaring her, and tell her now!" Yingchun hugged Xichun and comforted her, then gently pushed Daiyu, "Daiyu said in the carriage before that her two sisters are in the carriage behind. Instead of saying it twice, it's better to wait until everyone is together and tell her at the same time."

After hearing Yingchun's words, I realized that this is what Daiyu wanted to say.

Xichun instantly regained her spirits, hugged Daiyu, rubbed her arm, and said sweetly: "Tell us quickly, how did you make Sister Baochai sick!"

Daiyu moved her arms and felt that she was hugged tightly by her. She did not forget to glance at Tanchun. Seeing that she also had a curious look on her face, she could not help feeling secretly proud in her heart.

But she had to say something ugly first. She cleared her throat and said in a serious tone, "I can tell you, but you have to promise not to sell me out! If any of you leak the news and tell Xue Baochai, I will definitely not admit it!"

"No, no, I promise not to tell anyone!" Xichun was the first to raise her hand and swear.

Yingchun would definitely not say anything, so Daiyu looked at Tanchun, waiting for her attitude.

Seeing that the three sisters were all looking at her, Tanchun quickly stated: "I won't tell anyone else either!"

Daiyu finally let them go, but she still emphasized: "If I find out that any of you told her, don't even think about coming to my Lixiangyuan anymore!"

"I definitely won't tell you!" Tanchun was also anxious and quickly expressed her loyalty. Lixiangyuan was her last pure land, how could she bear to lose it?

So Daiyu began to tell the story of how she sneaked into Xue Baochai's yard last night.

"Haha!" Xichun couldn't help laughing when she heard that Xue Baochai's window was not locked. Then she stared at Daiyu with shining eyes, "My dear sister, you must have a skill to climb over the wall! Can you teach me?"

Daiyu looked to the other side and saw that Tanchun was also looking forward to it, and her heart began to beat. She didn't expect that in this fantasy love world, the style of the painting suddenly turned into a martial arts world!

"What are you doing? You live in our ancestor's yard. If you are discovered, won't I be blamed by him too, and he will say I am a bad example for you? No, absolutely not!" Daiyu firmly rejected their request.

The two of them pestered Daiyu for a long time, but she remained unmoved. Yingchun finally made a compromise suggestion: "How about letting them go to your yard to learn every day, and learn the rules every other day?"

Daiyu glanced at Yingchun and said with a smile: "I will provide the place, and you will be responsible for teaching!"

Hearing this, Xichun looked at Yingchun with sparkling eyes and asked foolishly, "Can Sister Yingchun do it too?"

Tanchun was the quickest to react. She stretched out her hand to scratch Daiyu's waist and teased, "Okay! I was wondering why I felt that you and Sister Yingchun had a better relationship. So this is the reason! You guys must have kept it a secret from us!"

"Hahaha!" Daiyu dodged Xichun's claws with a smile, and at the same time reached out to fight back. Tanchun saw that Xichun was at a disadvantage, so she also joined the battle, and Daiyu was at a disadvantage in an instant.

She caught a glimpse of Yingchun standing outside and watching the show, so she reminded Tanchun and Xichun, "Look, Sister Yingchun is laughing at us!"

Yingchun was about to argue that she didn't do it, but Daiyu dragged her into the fight. The four little girls laughed and made noises, and the quilts were pushed aside. All of them had red cheeks and were breathing heavily.

Daiyu was slightly better, as she did not use her full strength, otherwise she would have been able to subdue Tanchun and Xichun in no time. Yingchun also noticed this and also retained some strength.

"Alright, alright, stop making trouble. I'll count to three, and then let go!" Daiyu grabbed one of Tanchun and Xichun's hands. The four of them lay together, holding each other's hands, and it was difficult to separate them for a while.

After the four of them separated, they each put on their inner garments. After laughing and joking for a while, Daiyu's throat was a little dry, so she climbed down from the kang quickly and poured four glasses of water.

She found that there was not much water left in the pot, so she shouted outside, "Who's out there in the yard?"

After a while, Xueyan pushed the door open and asked, "What do you want, young lady?"

"Add some more warm water." Daiyu pointed to the kettle on the table and instructed, "You guys take turns to keep watch at night, and leave someone to look after the small stove to make sure there is always hot water."

"Yes!" Xueyan took the order and left.

She walked into the kitchen, winked at Shishu and Ruhua, and said, "I told you that your daughter was fine, but you didn't believe me. Humph! Our daughter told us to discuss it ourselves. As for the night duty of boiling water, you two will be the last one to take the last shift!"

"Yes, yes, yes! My dear sister, we misunderstood you!" Shishu and Ruhua admitted their mistakes repeatedly.

Xueyan was not a fussy person. After she filled the kettle and sent it to the girl's room, she began to arrange the order of the night shift.

The days passed peacefully and happily for two days. On this day, just after 15:, when the four of them had just got on the carriage, Daiyu asked Sanchun mysteriously, "How about we go out for dinner tonight?"

"Really? That's great!" Tanchun and Xichun were so excited that they felt as if there were nails on the mat and could not sit still at all.

The four of them got off the carriage in a hurry and hurried back to Daiyu's room to change clothes. There were already more than a dozen sets of clothes on the kang, each of which was selected by her according to their body shapes.
