Daiyu glanced at Tanchun secretly and understood her worries, so she said to Grandmother Jia coquettishly: "The materials of our ancestors must be the best. I am just afraid that the maids in our courtyard are clumsy and will ruin these good materials!"

"Haha! You monkey, it's obvious that you don't want to do needlework." Grandmother Jia smiled and exposed her little thoughts.

After a moment, her tone became more serious: "Yu'er, even if your grandmother thinks you are a good person, you still have to learn needlework. Do you want others to make your husband's underwear in the future?"

"Grandma, I'm still young and I don't want to get married!" Daiyu lowered her head shyly and buried her face in Grandmother Jia's arms.

At this time, a figure dressed in red rushed in. Daiyu heard the voice and realized that it was Baoyu who came in.

With a cold face, he said, "Before a girl gets married, she is a priceless pearl. Once she gets married, she is still a pearl, but it has lost its luster and color, like a dead fish pearl!"

"You're getting more and more ridiculous!" Grandmother Jia's face darkened and she looked very angry.

But Daiyu knew very well that Baoyu was the apple of Jia's eye, so how could she really blame him? She just said a few words to comfort him and make him forget about it, which calmed the storm.

Seeing Baoyu's unconvinced look, Daiyu stood up and couldn't help but chuckled, "According to what cousin Baoyu said, our second sister-in-law Lian is also a dead fish bead?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Daiyu looked towards the door. After waiting for a moment, the door curtain was opened by a maid, and who else came in was it but Wang Xifeng!

"Okay! You actually made up stories about me behind my back while I was away! If I hadn't come here today to tell the ancestor the good news, I don't know what you would have said with your sharp tongue!" Wang Xifeng pretended to be angry and gently pinched Daiyu's face, her eyes full of gratitude.

Daiyu's heart moved, and she vaguely guessed the purpose of Wang Xifeng's visit. However, she did not rush to say it out loud, just waiting for Wang Xifeng to reveal it herself.

Wang Xifeng glanced at Baoyu, who lowered his head in disappointment, feeling as if he had been caught speaking ill of someone behind his back.

She smiled in relief, raised her head, and defended Baoyu: "Brother Bao must have heard some nonsense from somewhere and learned it for us."

Seeing this, Baoyu quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, I just heard it from others!"

Wang Xifeng said with concern: "Grandfather, you must interrogate the servants who follow Baoyu to find out who has led our brother Bao astray and taught him to listen to such nonsense. It's okay for us to hear it, but if Second Uncle knows about it, I'm afraid he will blame Baoyu again!"

Yuanyang went to get the cloth and had not come back yet, so Grandmother Jia winked at Amber, who nodded and went out.

Baoyu seemed to be unaware and leaned in Grandmother Jia's arms, not daring to say anything about the dead pearls.

Just then, Yuanyang also came in, followed by two maids, each holding three pieces of cloth.

Wang Xifeng walked closer and asked curiously, "Are you going to make new clothes for your sisters?"

"Yes! Rong'er's wife came to invite us to go and enjoy the plum blossoms, and I thought, let them take it back to make some clothes." Jia's mother explained to Wang Xifeng, and pointed at Daiyu, "This lazy monkey insisted that the maids in the yard were not good at craftsmanship, and was afraid that my material would be wasted."

"Isn't it?" Wang Xifeng stroked the smooth satin and agreed with a smile, "Such fine material, I love it very much when I see it!"

Everyone admired the satins.

Yuanyang was very tactful. Not only did she pick the colors that Sanchun liked, she also picked a very plain one for Daiyu, obviously remembering that Daiyu was still in mourning.

Daiyu pointed to the plain satin and said, "This must have been chosen specially for me by Sister Yuanyang. I like it very much!"

Tanchun and Xichun came forward, touching this horse and looking at that horse, feeling a little regretful. It would be better if all these colors were made into one.

Wang Xifeng smiled and interrupted, "Grandma, I will shamelessly ask my sisters for a small piece each to make a hundred-family garment."

Grandmother Jia looked at Wang Xifeng's belly with some surprise and asked in astonishment, "Are you pregnant again?"

Wang Xifeng's smile grew brighter. "Yes, I was worried that the pregnancy was unstable, so I kept it a secret from the old ancestor. Now that the pregnancy is stable after three months, I dare to come and tell the old ancestor the good news! If the old ancestor wants to blame me, just punish me!"

"You are going to give me another great-grandson, why should I punish you? Get up quickly! Don't run around in this cold winter!" Grandmother Jia pulled Wang Xifeng over with heartache, asked her to sit next to her, and asked her in detail whether this pregnancy was difficult.

Finally, Grandmother Jia said, "Now that you are pregnant, you can't neglect our sister Yuan. Pick out a piece of fabric and make a dress for her. The remaining scraps will be my gift to the child in your belly!"

"Yes, I thank the ancestors on behalf of my child!" Wang Xifeng wanted to stand up and thank them, but was held down by Grandmother Jia.

Daiyu was silent for a moment, then she said, "I am still in mourning, so forget about my share..."

Before she finished her words, Wang Xifeng interrupted her: "I don't mind this!"

Daiyu walked up to Wang Xifeng and comforted her, "I know. I didn't say I wouldn't send you off! How about I ask Aunt Gu for a piece of fabric from the palace? I, as his cousin, must love him very much!"

"Thank you!" Wang Xifeng looked at Daiyu, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Okay! If you two keep going on like this, I'll be so moved that I'll cry!" Grandmother Jia joked.

Ha ha ha ha--

Whenever several girls get together, Rongqing Hall is always filled with laughter.

Finally, Grandmother Jia agreed that they could take the material to the shop outside to make clothes the next day, and she also allowed Li Wan to take them with her.

Grandmother Jia's eyes lingered on Yingchun, watching her standing gracefully behind her. Her tranquil temperament made people pay more attention to her. She also decided in her heart that she could start arranging her marriage.

Yingchun also noticed Lady Jia's gaze, but she didn't care. She had the confidence to retreat at any time.

Several people came out of Jia's main room, and Yingchun chose to go back to her room alone. It was a rare opportunity for her to be undisturbed, so she didn't want to go to Lixiangyuan!

Daiyu just smiled at Yingchun's choice. She knew that the relationship between them did not need constant companionship to prove.

Daiyu carefully supported Wang Xifeng and walked in front. The two younger ones, Tanchun and Xichun, followed behind them, chattering about the materials they had just selected.

"My sister-in-law has kept this from me so much!" Daiyu complained.

Wang Xifeng glanced at her two sisters and whispered to Daiyu, "Actually, I didn't tell anyone!"

Daiyu blinked at her and said teasingly, "I don't believe it! You must have told your second cousin Lian!"
