Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Daiyu spoke first: "I wonder which room my grandmother will arrange for me to stay in? I'd like the servants to arrange it for me first."

Grandmother Jia said, "Move Baoyu out and let him live in the warm room of the suite. Put him in the green gauze cabinet temporarily. When the weather gets warmer, let them clean up the house and make other plans."

Daiyu sneered in her heart. It would have been fine in the original novel, but now she had been delayed on the road for almost two months, and the Jia Mansion had not been cleaned up yet. How could she believe that everything could be cleaned up in just one month?

She didn't want to live in the green gauze cabinet and live with Jia Baoyu day and night!

Daiyu seemed to hesitate for a moment before she spoke: "Grandma, I'm afraid this isn't appropriate."

When Mrs. Wang heard Daiyu say this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Daiyu smiled and glanced at Mrs. Wang, then continued, "I have to observe mourning for my mother, and I need to recite scriptures from time to time. Besides, when I came here, my father sent two families to accompany me to take care of me and look after the farm outside the capital. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to live in my grandmother's yard."

"Why not?" Grandmother Jia said with a smile, "Why not let them live on the farm?"

Daiyu clenched her handkerchief tightly, pinched her palm carelessly, and continued, "Grandmother, there are not only the people from these two families, but also Nanny Wang and the maids. There are seven people in total serving me. If they all live in Grandmother's yard, I'm afraid it will be unfair to all the sisters. And..."

Daiyu looked around at the relatives in the room and said sheepishly, "When I was lighting the eternal lamp for my mother in Longhua Temple, a master chef told me that if I want to stay at a relative's house, it is best to live in a remote courtyard and take soil from my hometown to worship in the room!"

Grandmother Jia sneered and was about to refute that the monks and Taoists' words were all nonsense and could not be taken seriously. But then she remembered that the old Duke Rong, that is, her husband, had a substitute Taoist Zhang in Qingxu Temple, so she quickly swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Okay, how old are your girls? Are they still serving you wholeheartedly?"

After Daiyu's persuasion, Grandmother Jia seemed to finally regain her senses. She no longer insisted on letting her live in the green gauze cabinet and started to talk about another matter.

Daiyu stroked Lady Jia's arm and said coquettishly, "They are all five or six years older than me. Sister Honglian is the oldest, she is twelve or thirteen years old this year. They are usually very dedicated, and Nanny Wang is watching them!"

Grandmother Jia was coaxed by her and nodded with satisfaction: "Call those two maids over, I will help you take a look."

The maid responded and went down. Sanchun came in at this time: several girls of different ages were playing and laughing. When the door curtain was opened, their laughter could be heard. Xueyan and Zijuan followed their maids and stood far away.

Mrs. Wang stood up and introduced the three sisters to Daiyu one by one, and Daiyu greeted them one by one.

Daiyu was worried that something might go wrong with the things they had finally agreed on. After her sisters sat down, she waved to Xueyan and Zijuan and said, "Xueyan, Zijuan, come up and meet the old lady."

The two maids kowtowed to Lady Jia again and then stood up.

Ever since the two of them came in, Grandmother Jia had been paying attention to them. Seeing that they behaved properly, neither humble nor arrogant, and were not at all moved by the gorgeous furnishings in the room, she nodded secretly in her heart.

"I originally wanted to give you the parrot, but seeing that the girls around you are all very nice, I let it go."

Daiyu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Grandmother Jia's words. She looked at the two rows of maids standing in front of the antique shelf, and Qingwen and Xiren were among them. At this time, she didn't call Xiren, but Zhenzhu.

Daiyu rolled her eyes and said, "If grandma loves me, she would give me a sister who is good at sewing. But there is only one vacant second-class maidservant around me, so I can't skip the sisters, so I have to let grandma's person do the wrong thing."

Grandmother Jia laughed out loud: "They are all stupid. It is their good fortune to serve you. Once I give you a maid, she is yours. There is no such thing as giving her to you and then still being my maid."

She looked at Yuanyang and asked, "Among the maids in my room, who is the best at sewing?"

Without waiting for Yuanyang to reply, Daiyu interrupted and said, "I dare not take the one that my grandmother is used to, lest when summer comes, my grandmother will have nothing to wear."

Hahahaha — there was another burst of laughter in the room.

Yingchun looked at Lin Daiyu like this and almost couldn't control the expression on her face. Daiyu noticed that Yingchun was looking at her and smiled back.

Everyone was still laughing when they heard a hearty laugh from the backyard: "I'm late and haven't welcomed the distant guest! Sure enough, Sister Lin has come, and the old lady's laughter has returned."

I have never seen her before, but I have heard her voice! Daiyu was curious about what the legendary Wang Xifeng would be like.

The newcomer was dressed in red and green, and was dressed differently from the other girls. Daiyu felt that she looked more like a royal concubine than a goddess.

There were quite a few people present who were dressed festively, but Wang Xifeng stood out the most. When Mrs. Wang introduced the sisters just now, she didn't even know Daiyu's zodiac sign.

Daiyu was inevitably a little resentful, and it showed on her face. She gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up obediently and bowed to Wang Xifeng, letting Wang Xifeng hug her and sitting back next to Jia's mother.

After teasing Wang Xifeng, Jia Mu found that Daiyu was not in a good mood and asked curiously, "Daiyu, what's wrong with you?"

Daiyu stared blankly at the dress on Wang Xifeng and choked up, "It's all my fault. Everyone was so happy, but I spoiled the fun. I just remembered that my mother also had a similar dress, and I was sad because I saw it and thought of her."

Wang Xifeng saw her smile froze and she laughed awkwardly twice: "It was only after seeing my sister today that I realized there are such god-like people in the world. No wonder the old ancestor missed her every day. I guess my aunt was also such a beautiful person, how could she pass away so early!" As she spoke, she covered her face with a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "I am good friends with your sister. You can just call me, but don't make your sister cry again!"

Wang Xifeng heard this and instantly turned from sadness to joy, saying, "That's right! When I saw my sister, my heart was so focused on her that I even forgot about the ancestors. She deserves to be beaten!" She hurriedly took Daiyu's hand and asked with concern, "How old is your sister? Has she been to school? What medicine are you taking now?"

When Jia's mother heard something wrong, she asked, "Daiyu, are you still taking medicine?"

Daiyu shouted in her heart, "Here it comes!", but she said calmly, "It's just that my spleen and stomach were not in good condition on the way here. I saw many doctors along the way, but I don't know why I couldn't get better."

"Those doctors are useless." Grandmother Jia clapped their hands and said, "Take your uncle's invitation in a few days and ask our usual imperial physician to come and take a good look at you. It just so happens that I'm preparing pills here, so just ask them to prepare more."

"Yes! Sister, don't miss home here. Just come to me if you want anything or eat anything. If the maids and servants are not feeling well, please come and tell me." Wang Xifeng agreed and asked the servants, "Has Miss Lin's luggage been moved in?"

Daiyu heard this and stood up and bowed to Wang Xifeng: "Thank you, sister-in-law! I was just asking the old lady for help!"

"Which girl do you like? The girls around the old lady are all smart."

"That depends on whether grandma is willing to let it go!" Daiyu snuggled up to Grandmother Jia and looked at the maids standing in front of the antique display cabinet.
