Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Nanny Zhang and a group of maids returned to the cabin and started to make some arrangements.

After everything was cleaned up, several maids started playing cards in a very familiar manner, which made Aunt Zhang very angry.

"If she keeps dragging it on like this, you're just going to let her do what she wants?" she said dissatisfiedly.

Several maids looked embarrassed, but it was only a momentary embarrassment. Soon one of them tugged at Aunt Zhang's clothes and said, "Sister Zhang, please don't be angry with us. This is the master's decision, and we can't say anything!"

Aunt Zhang snorted coldly, "What kind of master is she? She is just a sickly girl. She is so young but she acts like a coquettish girl all day long. Who is she pretending to be? When I go back, I will definitely tell our wife. I can't let her get involved with our master."

The maids looked at each other, secretly curled their lips, and thought of their own little tricks in their hearts, but smiled on their faces: "Sister Zhang, don't be angry. We have the capital again. If you win again this time, you have to give us some more dishes!"

After being flattered by these maids, Aunt Zhang's face became a little better. She smiled and said, "Of course. I've been eating with them these days and my mouth is almost dry. I'll ask the boatman to prepare some side dishes for us so that we can all enjoy it together!"

Soon the sound of Pai Gow could be heard in the room, and everyone was having a great time. However, no one noticed a dark figure flashing past the cabin.

"Did they really say that?" Luoluo was shaking with anger, and the tea bowl on her head was shaking.

Fortunately, Zijuan was quick-witted and caught the tea bowl, otherwise it would have been smashed to pieces.

At this moment, Luluo really envied Lanrui's strength. If she had such strength, she could smash the bones of those maids.

Ahem - Nanny Wang sat at the head of the table, looking calm and composed, having completely forgotten that she was also extremely angry when she first met the maid of the Jia family.

The maids present immediately stood up straight, Luoluo stuck out her tongue, and put the tea bowl back on its head.

"Okay, it's not the first day you've known them, so there's nothing strange about it. Just do as the girls tell you, but don't lose your temper and ruin their plans!" Nanny Wang glanced around sharply, scaring Luluo so much that she trembled and almost dropped the tea bowl again.

The maids were all very motivated and hoped to learn the rules as quickly as possible so that they could accompany the girls in their fights in the capital.

It would be best if they were as strong as Lan Rui. If those old women dare to act arrogantly again, let Lan Rui protect the girls while they go up and slap those stubborn slaves in the face!

Daiyu didn't know that Lan Rui's inadvertent help to the boatman to pull up a bag of fish actually ignited the desire of the girls below to practice martial arts, and from then on they embarked on an increasingly wrong path.

At this moment, she was smelling the fish soup brought by Lan Rui. The aroma was so fragrant that it made her mouth water.

"Girl, come and try this soup! I took out all the meat, added ginger to remove the odor, and also put in chopped hazel mushrooms. It's so delicious!"

Daiyu ate two steamed buns and four eggs with the soup. She leaned on the pillow and rubbed her stomach gently. She caught a glimpse of Lan Rui's hesitant expression and asked, "Just say it if you have anything to say."

Lan Rui seemed to have given up everything, and she knelt on the ground with a plop: "Girl, punish me! Today I saw the boatman's fishing net almost slip out of his hand, so I went over to pull it out. I didn't expect to be seen by my sisters. They all asked me how I could be so strong and why they didn't notice it before..."

"And then you told me about the tonic?"

"No, no! The girl told me not to tell anyone. I said I've been eating well recently, so I've become stronger."

Daiyu looked at her with a smile: "Then why are you kneeling? You didn't say anything you shouldn't have said. I won't eat you."

Lan Rui smiled innocently, holding onto the edge of the bed and standing up: "Now my sisters all follow me in eating, saying that they all want to be as strong as me. Next time I hear those old women being disrespectful to the girls, I will go up and slap them in the face!"

Daiyu widened her eyes and thought: Xueyan grew up in Yangzhou, and Nanny Wang has lived in Jiangnan for so many years, how could she have taught her maid to be so fierce!

"Where did you learn this?"

Lan Rui answered carelessly, "We heard what the boatmen said during their chat, and we think this is how we should deal with those stubborn slaves!"

Daiyu stroked the book in her arms. Before this, she had some concerns because she thought those maids and old women were the evil puppets of Beimang Mountain.

But now after listening to Lan Rui's words, she suddenly understood: no matter where they came from, they were all slaves who had signed a death contract with the Jia family.

Daiyu would not be like in the book, who endured all the anger for Baoyu and kept everything to herself.

She smiled lightly and said to herself, "You guys are really clear-headed!"

"Girl, you look so beautiful when you smile like this! Just like that sick Xishi!" Lan Rui squatted beside the bed, holding her chin and looking at Lin Daiyu.

Daiyu's smile faded, and she suddenly remembered the words that described Lin Daiyu's appearance when the two met for the first time: she seemed to be frowning but not frowning, crying but not crying, and when she was sick she looked three times more like Xi Shi.

"Tell them to stop at Xuzhou Prefecture. I want to see the doctor!"

"Yes!" Lan Rui didn't understand why the girl's face changed so suddenly when she was fine just now. It seemed that she was really unwell.

Lan Rui went down to give some instructions, and the servants of the Jia family were dissatisfied again.

As soon as they entered the courtyard of the inn and hadn't even put down their luggage, Aunt Zhang started to make trouble: "Miss Lin, I don't think you are seriously injured. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to waste time like this!"

Daiyu turned around, her face pale, and stared at Aunt Zhang: "I heard that there is a Longhua Temple in Xuzhou, which was specially built by a master named Faxian who went to India to seek Buddhist scriptures during the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

I cannot stay at home to mourn for my mother, so when I pass by this temple, how can I not light a long-burning lamp for my mother and chant sutras and pray for her for seven days?"

When Aunt Zhang heard that she had to chant sutras for seven days, she immediately became unhappy. She didn't want to fast and chant Buddhist scriptures in the temple for seven days!

She was about to say something else, but Daiyu choked her back: "If you don't believe it, just go and ask Mr. Jia. I believe he has visited some famous mountains and temples and must have heard of Longhua Temple."

After saying that, she led a group of maids and old women inside, leaving the servants of the Jia family looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Well, if she wants to go, let her go!" said a woman helplessly.

Aunt Zhang glared at her and said, "You are such a smart talker, why didn't I hear you say anything just now! When they go to Longhua Temple, you can go with them and see if they really go there to chant sutras and pray for blessings. I always feel like something is wrong."

The old woman agreed with a wry smile, but she couldn't help blaming herself in her heart for asking why she said so much at this time.

Early the next morning, when Daiyu was about to set off for Longhua Temple, she saw an old woman standing by the corner gate, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Daiyu only glanced at them indifferently, and then got on the carriage waiting outside. Nanny Wang walked forward, took the old woman's hand, and got on the low-roofed carriage behind, chatting and laughing with her.
