Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Huo'er looked at Lin Daiyu with gritted teeth. Although she was furious, she knew that she could not back down this time.

So she picked up a pen, spread out the paper, and prepared to write on it.

Lin Daiyu watched coldly from the side. When she saw Huo'er's conflicted expression, she secretly rejoiced in her heart.

As long as Huo'er can participate in the competition, I can make her eat shit in the next running race.

But Huo'er didn't know any poetry, and she didn't expect that she would be randomly checked, and under the gaze of so many people,

She was sweating profusely, but still couldn't write a single word.

Time passed moment by moment, and her paper remained blank, with only a few drops of sweat wetting the white paper.

Princess Chaoyang's expression became increasingly ugly.

She felt like she was slapped in the face by the stunned breathing of the people around her.

Huo'er, you fool, why are you talking about writing poetry when you can't write poetry.

Even if you ask me to sing, I can protect you.

"Are you ready?" Princess Chaoyang urged, Huo'er's face turned pale.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu sneered secretly. She knew from the beginning that Huo'er was just a bluff, so she dared to provoke him.

Now it seems that his strategy has worked.

"Princess, it seems that Miss Huo'er's talent is indeed not as good as those of us who are choosing reading companions."

Lin Daiyu pretended to be regretful and said, "In this case, Princess, please punish Miss Huo'er according to the rules."

Princess Chaoyang glared at Huo'er, then turned to the failed ladies. "Five lashes for each of you, Huo'er will get double," she said in a cold voice.

When Huo'er heard this, he collapsed to the ground, his face as pale as paper.

The other ladies were relieved. Although they would be punished, at least they would not be punished twice as hard as Huo'er.

Princess Chaoyang felt that her face was completely swept away by the anger today, and she was the first to be whipped.

"Snap!" The whip sounded like thunder, Huo'er was panicked, she had never been treated like this before.

Seeing that the princess' whip was about to reach her, she jumped up and ran away in panic.

“Chaoyang, just wait, I will definitely come in first place to show you!” Before she finished her words, the girl’s figure flashed and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu followed him like an arrow from a bow.

"Run, the third event has begun!" She shouted as she ran, as if reminding everyone.

At this moment, the ladies no longer cared about their modesty and rushed out one after another.

It took two quarters of an hour to come in from the princess's mansion, but this time, it took less than a quarter of an hour to leave.

When the maids and guards in the princess's mansion saw this scene, they seemed to turn a blind eye and let the group of young girls rush out of the mansion like horses running wild.

Princess Chaoyang looked at their backs and laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

"Good! Good! Good, it's fun, so fun." She laughed out loud and was in a very good mood.

"Wait a moment, I will go and tell my father that I have chosen the person to accompany you to study."

She talked to herself, her face full of pride.

……

Lin Daiyu stood in front of the gate of the princess's mansion, looking around. After waiting for a while, Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai ran out breathlessly.

When they saw Lin Daiyu, they seemed to have found support and instantly released the last bit of their strength.

While panting, he asked:

"Miss Lin, what's going on?"

“I’ve never heard of such a selection. What should we do?”

Only then did they realize that Lin Daiyu seemed to be more adaptable to these strange tests than they were.

"Sister Tanchun, Sister Bao, do you still want to be the princess's study companions?" Lin Daiyu asked straight to the point.

The two of them looked unhappy and shook their heads.

"This is just like accompanying a madman. It's frightening to death."

"The Grand View Garden is still peaceful!"

"Since you all don't want to do it, let's go back and see what other tricks the princess has." Lin Daiyu said decisively.

Jia Tanchun asked with lingering fear: "Sister Lin, when we go back and Madam asks about this, how should we answer?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and replied, "She said the election was over and the princess asked us to wait for news."

"Everyone should speak with one voice, no matter what the princess thinks. I will talk to the others later and get them to speak with one voice."

Xue Baochai didn't say anything, but just looked at Lin Daiyu with admiration in her eyes.

Jia Tanchun thought for a moment and looked around, "Sister Lin, I see all the candidates have come out. I'll go with you and talk to them."

"You're right. As long as we speak with one voice, she can't deal with us alone." Lin Daiyu nodded in response.

"Sister Tanchun, please write down the names and official titles of the heads of each family so that we can contact you in the future," Lin Daiyu reminded.

Jia Tanchun couldn't help but admire her. They were the same age, but she was not as thoughtful as Lin Daiyu.

"Okay." Jia Tanchun agreed.

The three of them quickly reached a consensus and then conveyed the news to everyone.

At this time, the daughter of Zuodu Yushi's family and several ladies came to Lin Daiyu and bowed deeply.

"Thank you Miss Lin for helping us avoid physical pain."

"We will report today's events to the head of the family when we return. Although we are not favored by the family, we have agreed to keep in touch in the future."

"We are willing to become sworn brothers, and we will stand together on the princess's matter."

Lin Daiyu returned the gift, "Forget about our friendship, I will definitely participate in our common destiny."

At this time, Lin Daiyu realized that it would be difficult to make any progress in the capital city if she was alone and proud.

I do need some friends, even if it's just to collect information and chat about gossip.

……

"I am here to tell you, Lord Lin, that your daughter, Lin Daiyu, has been favored by the princess and will be her companion from now on."

The eunuch who came to deliver the message was all smiles as he looked at the surprised expressions of the Lin family members.

"This is a great honor. Among all the ladies in the capital, only four people have this honor."

"They are Princess Huo'er from Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, Miss Xian from the Prime Minister's House, and Princess Mu from Prince Nan'an's Mansion."

The father-in-law continued, smiling widely.

"Master Lin, listen, what are these identities?" The eunuch was very proud, as if he was showing off something.

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly in his heart. They were indeed noble ladies among noble ladies. If his own daughter Daiyu went there, wouldn't she look like a poor little thing?

However, he couldn't refuse in person.

When Daiyu came back from the selection that day, he asked about the situation.

After Daiyu described the whole process in detail, he immediately realized that the princess did not really want to study, but wanted to make trouble.

"What you said is very true, eunuch. It is a blessing for our Lin family to have this opportunity." Lin Ruhai nodded to express his gratitude to the eunuch who delivered the message.

"Mr. Lin is indeed sensible and will surely be successful in the future."

"No wonder! Many people have recommended Lord Lin to His Majesty."

My father-in-law smiled meaningfully and bowed with satisfaction before leaving.

After the eunuch left, Lin Ruhai turned with a heavy face and walked towards Daiyu's room.

He needed to talk to his daughter about this in detail to find out what she really thought.

She was a little confused about her daughter.

In addition, I guess the little fox in the northwest will know about this soon. I wonder how he will feel about it.
