Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

"Lan Rui, let's stop here today and continue tomorrow. You go down first and call Nanny Wang." Daiyu sent Lan Rui away first, and then told Lin Ji, "Brother Lin Ji, take four or five people with you and go to Jinling."

"Girl, please give me your orders!"

"Go to the government office of Yingtian Prefecture and inquire about a new tenant. His family should have a house for rent. The tenant has a daughter who is about twelve or thirteen years old. She is very beautiful, with a rouge mole the size of a grain of rice between her eyebrows. You must find this girl and bring her back." Daiyu pondered for a moment, recalling the information revealed by the tenant and Jia Yucun when they described the case.

She took out a few hundred-liang silver notes from her sleeve and handed them to Lin Ji: "If he refuses, tell him that the girl is an old acquaintance of the Lin family and knows that he is a kidnapper. If he insists on not agreeing, tie him up and send him to the authorities. That way, he should not make things difficult for you again."

Daiyu reviewed the entire plan again, making sure every detail was considered carefully.

She walked back to the inner room, took out Lin Ruhai's name card from the box and handed it to Lin Ji: "Dad's official position may still be of some use in Jiangnan. You can decide whether to take it out.

Of course, it’s best not to use it. Daddy is in an awkward situation right now, so try not to cause him any trouble.”

Lin Ji carefully put away the banknotes and name cards, and then asked, "What if that girl refuses to go with us?"

Daiyu raised her head, a sharp look flashing in her eyes: "If she doesn't want to, does she want the person who kidnapped her to sell her for a higher price?"

Just as Lin Ji was about to agree, he heard Daiyu sigh, "Just say you know she is Yinglian. If she still doesn't want to follow you, then forget it. It's fate anyway. When you're done, follow the canal to join us. Every time we arrive at a city, we'll go ashore to rest for a few days."

"Yes!" Lin Ji took the order and left.

Although he had doubts in his heart and didn't understand why the girl insisted on buying that girl, since it was Daiyu's order, he just did it without finding out the reason.

"Madame Wang, give the order and we will set off tomorrow. Go and exchange some silver ingots and silver coins. I will need them."

As soon as Nanny Wang entered the room, she heard Daiyu's instructions and asked, "Are you going to give these rewards to the maids of the Jia family?"

"Indeed, we should give them some. They have been drinking and gambling these days, and I think they have spent most of their money. It is also because of me that they have been delayed, so it is only right to give them one month's salary. But they can forget about other rewards.

We don't lack servants now, so we'll just keep a few of them. Deliver them food according to their quota, and let them pay for the extra food themselves!"

"Will this make it seem like we're not hospitality enough?" Nanny Wang hesitated.

Daiyu sneered: "If it's all right, then let them eat vegetarian food with us!"

Puchi - Nanny Wang couldn't help laughing, but she realized her mistake the next second and kept apologizing: "Miss, I am guilty..."

"It's okay. Although we have to observe mourning, we just need to avoid eating too much meat and fish. Otherwise, when we arrive in Shenjing City, I'm afraid I'll need your support to walk." Daiyu comforted Nanny Wang with a smile.

Asking her, who cannot lack protein every day, to become a vegetarian would be impossible even if the sky falls!

"Oh, right, we can eat eggs. We'll send someone to buy more later. Especially Lan Rui, we must make sure she's well fed!"

"Yes!"

"Mom, come here." When Nanny Wang came forward, Daiyu whispered in her ear: "Tell Brother Linji to send two people to Xuzhou Prefecture and go to Longhua Temple first..."

The next day the sky was clear and the sun was exceptionally good.

Lin Daiyu was helping Lan Rui get on board when she heard the voice of the Jia family's maid behind her: "Miss Lin, why don't those people get on board with us?"

Daiyu turned around and saw that the person was pointing at Lin Ji and others. She smiled slightly and commented as she boarded the boat: "This mother is very interesting. She is going to be the head of our Lin family."

The Lin family's servants glared at them and followed Daiyu closely. Even Lin Ji and others rode their horses away from the dock and went to unknown places.

Among the maids of the Jia family, the leader was Zhang Pozi. She looked at the backs of the Lin family members, gritted her teeth and followed them onto the boat.

They were about to go to the cabin below to rest when Nanny Wang stopped them: "The young lady wants to talk to you over there."

A group of people walked up to the second deck and saw that Daiyu, who was fine just now, now looked pale.

Daiyu smiled bitterly and thought to herself: Even if I take the health-enhancing potion, I will still get seasick.

"You can see it too. I don't know if I had a conflict with the water or what, but I became sick as soon as I got on the boat. If we want to reach Tongzhou Wharf in one breath, I'm afraid my grandmother will have to pick up my body..."

"Miss..." Nanny Wang interrupted Daiyu, stopping her from continuing to say such unlucky words.

"I don't mind this." Daiyu pressed Nanny Wang's hand and cheered up. "According to this itinerary, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. I also understand that you don't have much money when you go out. So, no matter what rank you are in the mansion, I will give you five cents of silver per month. Nanny Wang, give me the money!"

The other maids in the Jia family were delighted when they received the silver and found that it was one ounce of silver. Only Mrs. Zhang did not show any emotion at all.

Daiyu saw their reactions and smiled faintly: "In terms of food, you and the Lin family have the same share. It's just that the Lin family is in mourning now, so the food is inevitably simple. So I gave a little more, making up one tael, as an extra subsidy for you."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang's face turned ugly. She originally thought that coming to pick up the cousin was a good job, but she didn't expect that there would be no reward, and now she has to pay for the food herself.

Obviously, she had forgotten that Daiyu had just given each of them one or two taels of silver.

"Okay, go down!" Daiyu waved her hand, her face becoming even paler.

She lay on the bed, closed her eyes and rested, and barely managed to stop wanting to vomit. She said weakly, "You all go down, just leave Lan Rui here."

The other maids were quite obedient and followed Nanny Wang downstairs. Only Xueyan pouted and said something sour: "The girl has Lan Rui and she can't see me anymore."

"Hahaha!" Daiyu laughed so hard that she couldn't help laughing. "You two have different responsibilities. Lan Rui stays here to learn Kung Fu and protect my safety. Your main task is to help Nanny Wang train those little girls and to gather information for me when the time comes."

Xueyan looked aggrieved: "I feel bad seeing Lan Rui staying with you!"

"Okay, go ahead. When the maids have finished teaching you, you can come back and serve me. I need to get some sleep, or I'll feel uncomfortable again!"

Daiyu said, and her consciousness sank into the system to study. She just discovered that as long as she entered the system, she would not feel any discomfort in her body.

[This is forcing me to study hard! ]
