Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Daiyu took one last look at the shopping cart and closed the page with a painful heart.

In order to calm herself down, she practiced internal energy in the house for an hour, and only then did she feel a little better.

Sanchun hadn't come back yet, and it seemed that she was stuck with Xue Baochai. Daiyu was not angry, but went to Linji's courtyard.

Ever since Tanchun and Xichun moved in, Lin Ji seldom entered the inner courtyard, and every time he did so he would pass on messages through the maids.

Becoming closer to Yingchun naturally has its pros and cons. At least Daiyu's business in the dark cannot be too outrageous.

She thought of Lingxiao Escort Agency and discussed it with Lin Ji for a long time. Finally, they decided to open an escort agency as well, with Huang Yongjin in charge.

In this way, they can make use of the manpower they left behind in various prefectures.

Of course, the scale at the beginning will definitely not be too large. It will mainly focus on the line from Shenjing to Yangzhou, and then slowly expand to the two lakes, and then to the southwest.

"Miss, what should we call our escort agency?" Lin Ji was so excited when he heard Daiyu's grand plans.

The word "Shunfeng" almost came out of Daiyu's mouth, but she braked in time. Yingchun knew it was her who was driving the car, so it must not be okay.

It has to have a name that is more in line with today's society.

Daiyu asked tentatively, "How about calling the Shenwei Escort Agency?"

Lin Ji thought about it and shook his head: "There is already an escort agency with this name in Shenjing City."

Daiyu had a bitter face. She was bad at naming things. So she waved her hand and said, "You can choose any name you want. I won't interfere."

In this way, the Dai's Escort Agency, which would become famous in the future, handed over the important task of naming to its nominal boss under Daiyu's hasty decision.

Since the establishment of an escort agency was mentioned, Daiyu explained to Lin Ji in detail the possible cooperation with the forces behind Yingchun.

Lin Ji quite agrees with Daiyu's approach of playing both the open and the covert. Every force should prepare a hidden trump card.

But he was also a little puzzled: "Girl, since you have the recipe, why don't we open our own restaurant?"

Daiyu glared at him and explained, "You are stupid! Opening a restaurant is so troublesome. If you want to expand it, you have to deal with the powerful. If they want to buy on credit, can you refuse? When the time comes to collect the debt, if they want to refuse to pay, what can you do to them?"

Her fingers were getting restless, and she really wanted to pry open Lingji's head to see if things were still working inside.

Lin Ji scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled innocently: "Hehe, the girl is really smart!"

"Stop flattering me!" Daiyu waved her hand. "By the way, do you have a name for the little beggar I met last time?"

"Yes, he originally wanted to take the girl's surname Lin, but I didn't agree, so he named himself Qiao Linsheng. He said that when the girl agrees, he will just call himself Lin Sheng." Lin Ji answered somewhat arrogantly.

Daiyu raised her lips and said jokingly, "Shengji, this is a very auspicious meaning!"

"Girl!" Lin Ji was a little dissatisfied. He thought the girl paid too much attention to this little beggar.

"I know, I know!" Daiyu stopped teasing Ling Ji.

In fact, she felt that it didn't matter what surname you had. But she also understood that in today's society, being given a surname represented recognition and respect from the master's family, and it was impossible to be given a surname without merit.

At this moment, Nanny Wang came in with a roll of paper and said, "Miss, I was just about to go to the inner courtyard to look for you, but then I heard from the maid that you were in the main hall, so I came straight here."

Daiyu motioned for Lingji to go and do his work first, then she asked Nanny Wang, "What can I do for you, Nanny?"

Nanny Wang handed the paper to Daiyu: "This is the list of festival gifts that Nanny Gu and I made. The names of the various mansions are marked on the far right."

Daiyu took the list. The one at the top was for the Jia family. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Has the festival gift that Daddy sent to the capital arrived?"

Nanny Wang nodded and responded, "Yes! The young lady asked Lingji to keep an eye on the waterway coming from the south. As soon as they arrived at the Tongzhou port, they were discovered by our people.

The manager said that the New Year gifts had been divided according to the gift list and could be sent directly to each mansion. However, our people still brought the people and things back to the Lin Mansion. At first, they thought they had encountered robbers, but later they saw the plaque of the Lin Mansion and Lin Ji, and then they felt relieved. "

"Well done!" Daiyu picked out the gift list from the Jia family and asked Wang Ma, "How much are the things on it worth?"

Nanny Wang took the gift list, lowered her head and estimated it, and replied, "About one thousand taels."

Daiyu nodded, picked out a few more and handed them to Nanny Wang: "Take out all the Jiangnan specialties on them and add them to the gift lists of the General's Mansion and these families."

"Why...why is this?" Nanny Wang was a little hesitant.

Daiyu knew what Nanny Wang wanted to ask, so she smiled and explained, "Aunt Xu from the General's Mansion and these other families were all good sisters of my mother when she was alive. We didn't send any New Year gifts last year, so we'll naturally have to give more this year. I've seen the gift lists from previous years that Linji's father sent, and these specialties are just right.

As for the Jia family, I will just convert it into silver and give it to the old ancestor, so that there will be a sound. Otherwise, like in previous years, except for the people who registered and put it in the warehouse, no one else in the mansion would know how many festival gifts my mother gave to the Jia family every year! "

"I understand, young lady." Nanny Wang had already started thinking about how to distribute it.

Then Daiyu said, "Prepare these families first. I will write a letter of apology to each family. I will also tell mother and Gu Mama later. When the time comes, you two will have to go there in person."

"It's my duty to do things for the young lady!" Nanny Wang took the gift list that needed to be reorganized and went back to the room to find someone to copy it.

Afterwards, they opened all the boxes that Lin Ruhai had sent to Beijing, and repacked them under the supervision of Madam Liao. Although it took two days, they still managed to deliver the gifts to each family before the New Year's Eve.

Because Daiyu had sent an invitation in advance and Nanny Gu came forward, the ladies of several families made time to specially receive the two maids.

They all praised Daiyu privately, saying that she had been taught by the maids in the palace and was able to do such a good job in managing the household. As a result, Daiyu's relationship with the various mansions gradually warmed up and became close. They never forgot to send invitations to Daiyu at banquets of all sizes. However, these are all stories for later.

When Daiyu returned to the inner courtyard, Sanchun had already returned.

Xichun was arguing with Tanchun about something. When she saw Daiyu coming back, she immediately ran to her, took her hand and shook it, saying, "Sister Daiyu, you really should go and listen today!"

Daiyu was a little confused. She asked in confusion, "What's going on? What are you arguing about?"
