Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

"Since this precedent has been set, you might as well be thorough and not let Ping'er drink the contraceptive soup." Daiyu helped her with her advice. Seeing that Wang Xifeng seemed to want to refute, she hurriedly added, "Don't be impatient, listen to me. Sister Ping'er is your dowry maid. Even if she is favored, she can't get over you. And I can see that she is devoted to you. Even if she gives birth to a eldest son in the future, it can't be compared with your child."

Wang Xifeng reluctantly accepted this statement, although she still felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

Daiyu knew that this kind of thing needed time to digest, and other people's persuasion would not be of much use. She needed to figure it out on her own.

Daiyu was willing to help her because she saw the possibility of her changing. If Wang Xifeng was still in love and stubbornly fought against Jia Lian despite all her persuasion, then Daiyu would give up this potential ally.

The weather outside was extremely cold, so Daiyu politely declined Wang Xifeng's offer to escort her out and let Ping'er escort her out of the yard.

Before leaving, Daiyu said something extra: "Sister, you have been with sister-in-law all these years. You should have advised her more. She is different now. Some things you think are good for her may not really be good for her."

After she said this, she turned around and left without waiting for Ping'er's response.

Back in her room, Daiyu pretended to take out the jade bottle from under her pillow, but in fact she took it out from the warehouse. After thinking for a while, she took out a brand new potion and dripped two more drops into it.

Daiyu called Lan Rui over, handed her the jade bottle, and said, "Take this to Sister-in-law Lian. Add some water to it, watch her drink it, and then bring the bottle back. Got it?"

Lan Rui took the jade bottle, put it in her waist, and asked in confusion: "Why did the girl help her like this?"

"If she is a person who cannot be helped, it would be fine. She and Tanchun are both pillars of the Jia family. If the Jia family wants to survive, they have to rely on them." Daiyu urged Lan Rui, "Go quickly and find Lin Ji."

Daiyu recalled the crimes committed by Wang Xifeng in the original novel, which were nothing more than abusing power, arranging lawsuits, and taking human lives lightly. Ling Xu's provocation and inducement made Wang Xifeng taste the sweetness, and then she became even more outrageous and out of control.

She refused Luoluo's help, picked up the ink stick herself, and began to grind the ink in circles.

On the light yellow inkstone, a dark mark of ink gradually spreads out, like a splashed ink painting.

Daiyu came across this Yi inkstone by chance on the roadside on her way to Beijing. The man asked for a high price at the time, but because the carvings on the Yi inkstone were not traditional musical instruments or chess, nor were they domineering beasts, but rather a few raccoons (cats) playing around, not many people were interested.

Only someone like Daiyu, who is rich and loves the inkstone, would buy this unique Yi inkstone.

When Lingji came in, Nanny Wang followed closely behind.

Seeing that Luluo was in the room and that she was not needed, she was about to leave when she heard Daiyu calling her, "Madame Wang, have you read the two lists of New Year gifts that the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou sent over?"

Nanny Wang replied respectfully, "I've seen them all! The list given by the master reduced the families that the lady had known in the boudoir before, while the list given by Steward Lin was more comprehensive."

Daiyu showed an expression of "as expected". She handed the ink stick to Luluo and asked her to continue grinding the ink. She sat at the desk and picked up the brush.

"Please prepare for me a list of holiday gifts that your mother prepared before. I will write the list myself when the time comes." Daiyu instructed.

Nanny Wang left the main room while secretly criticizing Lin Ruhai.

Through the teachings of Nanny Liao and the subtle influence of Nanny Gu, Nanny Wang had some understanding of the interpersonal relationships between the big families in Beijing.

She began to understand that the master's behavior was indeed likely to offend people: a friendship that had been maintained for many years was suddenly severed without any reason. This behavior would cause people to misunderstand!

Some people may speculate that Lin Ruhai is not aware of the affairs of the harem, and some people may even think that Lin Ruhai looks down on them and intends to sever ties with them!

This is indeed the case, but Daiyu cannot sit idly by and watch the relationship between Jia Min and her friend of many years break down.

The first year when the festival gifts were stopped could be explained as a recent death in the family and excessive grief.

In this way, it is only a one-year break. The original relationship may become distant, but as long as the apology and explanation are appropriate, it is still possible to reconcile.

After Daiyu gave instructions to Nanny Wang, she began to assign tasks to Lingji: "Do we have enough manpower now?"

Lin Ji bowed and said, "I should have reported this to you before the New Year. This year, we have added thousands of new people in the two places. We didn't spend much money to buy those mountains, but due to the terrain, the mountains are not suitable for farming, so we spent a lot of money to buy food, and we still rely on support from this side in the short term. Girl, are there any new arrangements?"

Daiyu nodded, blew the written note dry, handed it to Lin Ji and said, "Send a few people to keep an eye on Shuiyue Temple. Once you find someone doing something insulting to Buddhism, report it directly to Hongji Temple. The abbot should give me this face and serve as my gun for once."

Lin Ji had sent many people to Hongji Temple and had many contacts with the abbot. He smiled and said, "The girl is knowledgeable and talented. At most, you can copy two more books for him, and the abbot will not mind anything."

Daiyu glared at Lingji and said, "You make it sound so easy. If you don't have to copy books, you won't feel tired, right? If you help me with things outside, I will let Lan Rui take the punishment for you and help me copy Buddhist scriptures. Humph!"

Hearing this, Lin Ji became anxious and begged for mercy, "Girl! You can punish me in any way you want, but don't involve Lan Rui!"

Green Rose couldn't help laughing and said jokingly: "The girl was joking with you, but you took it seriously! Get out now!"

After hearing Luoluo's reminder, Lin Ji quickly bowed and took his leave, then ran out.

Daiyu pointed at Yi Yan and said to Lu Luo, "You, the maid, have become the master's master! I will punish you by making you grind ink for me every day before the New Year. Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense again!"

When Green Ivy heard this, she almost jumped up.

She secretly rejoiced in her heart: This is a good job! Lan Rui will definitely be jealous to death if she knows!

Serving in Daiyu's room means that you don't have to do any of the work that Nanny Wang asks you to do, and you can also watch Daiyu practice boxing from a close distance. This is a job that others would beg to do!

What Daiyu has been practicing recently is the body-building boxing technique she exchanged from the system - the Vajra Subduing Demon Fist.

Ever since she drank the body-building potion, her body has reached its limit. If she wants to improve it further, she can only work on exercises and drugs.

Therefore, she decisively used up her last reward quota and exchanged it for this book of boxing skills.

You should know that in the system mall, this set of skills is priced at three thousand points!
