Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

"Yes!" Upon hearing Daiyu's arrangement, Nanny Wang responded promptly and decisively, without any thought of being jealous of Nanny Gu.

After these days of contact, she witnessed Gu Ma's ability with her own eyes. Apart from other things, even Jia Mu, who was difficult to convince, agreed to let the girls eat outside after being persuaded by Gu Ma.

You know, Grandmother Jia is used to being the boss in the Jia family, so no one would dare to oppose her. But Gu Mama succeeded, and Grandmother Jia was not angry. This is by no means an easy task.

After resolving Nanny Wang's issue, Daiyu looked at Lingji and asked, "Tell me, what's the situation in the East Palace now?"

Lin Ji reported, "Bai Shao has already returned to the Lin Residence. Apart from our people, the only person who knows about this is the matchmaker. What are your plans next, young lady?"

"What is the character of that tooth-eater?"

"According to our previous investigation, she is a fairly honest person."

Daiyu shook her head slightly and said, "In this day and age, anyone who can be a matchmaker is definitely not a soft-hearted person. Since she wants to show us her kindness, it means she is not a fool. Let's ignore her for now and continue to investigate her character.

As long as they are not people who take human life lightly, it is not that they cannot cooperate. After all, they are the best informed: they know who has committed a crime and where the people have ended up. "

Lin Ji was shocked. He really hadn't expected this. He lowered his head and responded, then asked, "What about Bai Shao?"

"Let her stay at home, or go to the farm."

"Miss, why not let her go to the East Palace to keep an eye on people."

Daiyu was slightly stunned. This arrangement was indeed somewhat unexpected, but also cunningly reasonable. She nodded to show her agreement and asked, "Is this your idea or Bai Shao's?"

Lin Ji didn't dare to take credit for it, and told the truth: "It was Bai Shao's own idea."

"Well! Just say I agree. What exactly happened to Qin?" After confirming that all her people were fine and there was no risk of being exposed, Daiyu now paid attention to the source of the incident.

"This afternoon, Qin went to arrange the plum blossom viewing banquet in the next few days. When she went to change her clothes, she ran into the drunk Jia Zhen, who surrounded her with two servants. Zhu Hui was not with Qin at that time, only Bai Shao and another maid were there. Jia Zhen tried to make a move, and Bai Shao slapped him in the face."

"Wow!" Daiyu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, is Bai Shao so strong?

Lin Ji sneered and said, "Similar things have happened before, but they were not as serious as today, so I didn't report it to the young lady. This time, Jia Zhen was really too much, so Bai Shao couldn't bear it anymore and took action."

Daiyu showed a gloating smile on her face: "Are our people still keeping an eye on Jia Zhen?"

Lin Ji immediately replied, "There is one. I'm worried that he will cause trouble for Bai Shao again."

"Hmm!" Daiyu didn't seem to care much about Jia Zhen's affairs, and turned to ask about another matter related to Qin Shi, "Have you found a reliable doctor?"

Lin Ji thought for a moment and replied, "I have found one. He lives in the south of the city. His family used to run a medicine shop, but because he offended the wife of a powerful official, he was set up and lost all his property. Now he works as a traveling doctor, treating patients in nearby towns."

It doesn’t matter if you offend the powerful, the key is to be afraid of having character problems.

"Did you give him the booklet?" asked Daiyu.

"Not yet. Without the girl's permission, I dare not make the decision on my own."

Daiyu smiled with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Send someone to invite him to the back door of the Jia Mansion and wait for him. By the way, give him the medical book as well. I will need it after the second watch. By the way, you should go with me when the time comes."

After arranging these things, Daiyu asked the little beggar whom she had met once before: "How is the little beggar who I asked you to pay attention to last time?"

"He has passed the test and signed a contract to sell himself. He is living a good life on the farm now. He looks honest and is very active in school. The teacher likes him too." Lin Ji said with a frown, feeling that something was wrong.

Daiyu burst out laughing: "Did you find something wrong? I saw that night that the little beggar was a quick-witted person. Now it seems that he is a smart man. Train him well, maybe he can become your right-hand man in the future!"

What she didn't say was that if the little beggar was loyal enough, he might even replace Lin Ji. Just like now in Lixiangyuan, Gu Mama is already the leader, and Wang Mama has retreated to the second line.

Seeing that Lin Ji was still frowning, Daiyu smiled and comforted him: "You are a veteran by my side, and you should also be clear about my standards for employing people. What I value most is loyalty, and then talent. But everyone has their own personality and strengths. If you do well in your ability and keep improving yourself, you can stay by my side for a long time."

After hearing Daiyu's encouragement, Lin Ji was so excited that he almost burst into tears. He answered loudly, "Yes!", then took two steps at a time and quickly walked out of the yard.

Daiyu was left standing there, staring at his back for a long time before she whispered, "I haven't finished talking yet, why are you running away!"

Daiyu shook her head and turned back to her own yard.

At this time, Yingchun had finished taking a bath and was letting Siqi twist her hair.

She heard footsteps and knew that Daiyu had come in. Without even raising her eyelids, she said, "This cloth of yours is quite absorbent. Do you have any more? Give me some. The brocade handkerchief in my room is not comfortable to use at all!"

Daiyu praised Qinghe for her thoughtfulness in her heart. She did not take out her usual bath towel, but said calmly, "Yes, I'll ask Siqi to buy you half a piece later."

As she spoke, Daiyu quietly approached Yingchun and whispered teasingly in her ear: "Make some small clothes by the way, hehe!"

Yingchun turned her face to the side, her cheeks slightly red, and glared at Daiyu in pretended anger, which made Daiyu laugh out loud.

When the night watchman in the mansion just struck the second watch, Daiyu quietly opened her eyes and was hesitating whether to go out directly or give Yingchun some sleeping pills to make her sleep. At this moment, Daiyu noticed that Yingchun's heartbeat was a little disordered.

"Awake?" Daiyu asked softly.

"Where are you going if you don't want to sleep?" Yingchun's voice was a little hoarse.

Daiyu replied as she put on her clothes, "Something happened to Qin Keqing, I have to go over there, do you want to come with me?"

Yingchun did not answer immediately, but laughed. She looked at Daiyu's puzzled eyes and said, "We look like a fake couple in secret."

Ha ha ha ha--

After the two of them laughed, Yingchun also started to put on her clothes: "After laughing for a while, I'm not sleepy anymore. I'll go and see what's going on."

Daiyu blinked in a funny way: "Don't get scared later, it will subvert your worldview!"
