Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 46: Three People Going to Do Mischief (Happy New Year to Everyone!)

Although this was not the case, how could Lin Ruhai feel guilty if he did not write the situation as serious as possible?

At the end of the letter, she specifically instructed Lin Ruhai to ask the Lin family's steward, Lin Ji's father, to find out how Jia Min handled interpersonal relationships in the past.

She stuffed the letter into the envelope, but felt that it was not enough. She begged the two maids to help her write a letter, asking them to explain to Lin Ruhai the importance of interpersonal relationships.

She didn't know that the Lin family's chief steward was confused because he was asked the same question by two masters of the family.

At this time, Daiyu received a thick stack of transcribed letters from Xu Zhilan, all of which were sent by Jia Min to Xu Zhilan over the years.

She flipped through the pages one by one, and the words inside unfolded a picture for Daiyu, as if a vivid Jia Min appeared before her.

Before she knew it, tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"Miss..." Xueyan called softly and wiped the tears from Daiyu's face.

"I'm fine, you go down first!" When Daiyu saw a piece of letter paper at the back, her hands suddenly tightened and she crumpled the letter paper into a ball.

Xueyan was a little worried, because she knew Daiyu hadn't cried like this for a long time. But she still followed Daiyu's instructions, left the inner room, and closed the door of the main room.

But Xueyan did not leave the main room, for she was afraid that Daiyu would call her at any time, so she waited at the door and listened to the movements inside the room.

Who knew that we would have to wait until nightfall.

"The girl still hasn't come out?" Lan Rui and Lu Luo came over with food boxes. Seeing Xue Yan still waiting outside the door, they couldn't help showing worry.

"Isn't it..."

Before Xueyan finished her words, the door opened from the inside and Daiyu appeared in everyone's sight, without any trace of tears or redness or swelling on her face.

She said calmly, "Please bring the food in. I'm hungry."

Several maids heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. Knowing that she was hungry meant that the girl was fine.

Daiyu looked at the table full of dishes and knew that the maids were worried about her, and she felt warm in her heart.

"Let's call Zijuan and the others over. They've brought so much food. I won't get a stomachache if I eat it all!" Daiyu said jokingly.

"What nonsense are you talking about, young lady!" Green radish responded playfully, "We are greedy and want to eat these, so we made so many of them under your excuse. Every time the young lady eats leftovers, isn't it a bargain for us?"

"Don't worry, I just received a letter from Aunt Xu and thought of my mother." Daiyu explained without any context. When the maids heard her say this, their worries were alleviated a lot, and they tacitly did not mention what happened in the afternoon.

After Baoyu’s birthday, a rumor suddenly spread in the city of Shenjing.

It is said that the women in Jiangnan are gentle and virtuous, and even in their boudoirs, they are filled with the scent of books. There are even rumors that some men who don't like reading, after marrying a woman from a scholarly family in Jiangnan, actually passed the imperial examination the following year.

The news spread like wildfire, and for a while, in the city of Shenjing, several families who had come to the capital early hastily made marriage arrangements without even waiting for the selection.

No one in the Jia family knew anything about all this. Even if Jia She heard about it, he just treated it as a story and didn't take it to heart.

When Daiyu heard Lin Ji's report about the reactions of various parties, she just smiled faintly.

"Miss, they will be able to reach Tianjin in a few days." Lin Ji lowered his head and reported respectfully.

He was finding it increasingly difficult to understand the few things the girl had asked him to do recently.

"Compared to you and Lan Rui, who is better at Qinggong?" Daiyu suddenly asked.

Lin Ji was stunned at first. He didn't expect Daiyu to suddenly ask this.

He thought about the result of his recent fight with Lan Rui and replied embarrassedly, "To answer the question, Lan Rui's Qinggong is indeed slightly better than mine."

"Forget it. You and Lan Rui can come with me in a few days. Remember to prepare three good horses. I can use them."

"Yes!"

Not long after, Lingji brought three fine horses. Daiyu checked them and found that they had neat teeth and were full of energy. As for their pedigree, she did not care.

She generously took out a whole bottle of health potion, mixed it in water, and gave it to the three horses to drink.

Lin Ji recognized that this was the tonic that Daiyu had given them before, and couldn't help but wonder: "Miss, isn't it a bit of a waste to give it to them?"

"How could that be!" Daiyu stroked one of the snow-white horses, "Send them back to the Lin Mansion and ask Lao He to feed them more soybeans and fresh grass in the next few days. They will be of great use in a few days."

The white horse nodded its head affectionately in Daiyu's palm, which made Daiyu laugh out loud. She took a carrot from the basket beside her and fed it to the horse.

Daiyu whispered to the horse, "Good chasing cloud, you will have to work hard in the next few days!"

That day, Daiyu reported to Grandmother Jia: "Grandma, the newly harvested winter wheat has been sent over from Zhuangzi. I want to go and see it myself."

After hearing this, Jia's mother frowned slightly and said, "It's just the produce from the farm. There's no need for a young lady like you to keep an eye on it. If you're worried that someone will embezzle it, I'll ask the housekeeper Lai to send someone to keep an eye on it for you!"

Daiyu didn't dare to let Lai Da interfere in her business, so she quickly explained: "Grandma, this is also part of the housekeeping skills that the maids taught me!"

Grandmother Jia still refused: "If you want to learn how to be a housekeeper, just follow your second sister-in-law. Why bother with the trivial matters on the farm?"

"My second sister-in-law took many years to learn from my aunt, so I have to take it slow!

And I will move all the books in the house out to dry. If I don't keep an eye on them, the servants might damage my precious books! Grandmother, please obey me!" Daiyu finally resorted to the trick of acting like a spoiled child, and Grandmother Jia reluctantly gave in.

"Okay! If you can't control those servants, just tell me and I will deal with them for you. Your father will definitely not say anything." Grandmother Jia said with a stern face.

"I know! I'm not afraid as long as my ancestors are backing me up!" Daiyu smiled when she heard that, and the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Everything went smoothly when she went to the temple to perform a ritual for Jia Min before, which gave her the illusion that Grandmother Jia was an easy person to talk to.

However, this time Daiyu suddenly faced the reality.

She went back and hurriedly packed her things, fearing that Lady Jia would change her mind and not let her go out.

She came to the martial arts field of the Lin Mansion and began to learn horse riding.

At first he was just jogging, but later he gradually increased his speed. Lan Rui followed closely behind on her chestnut horse.

But Lingji had always been able to ride a horse, so he did not join them.

After receiving the confirmed news, the three of them disguised themselves, quietly left through the back door of the Lin Mansion and headed towards the south gate.

As soon as they left the Shenjing city, Daiyu slowly accelerated to match the pace of the horse.
