Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Daiyu raised her eyebrows and slowly stood up: "What is the name of that family, Sister Feng, do you know?"

"I only know his last name is Sun," Wang Xifeng thought, "he was promoted very quickly. He is now a commander of some kind."

So this is the person who tortured my second sister to death in the previous life.

Daiyu gently closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and smiled: "Such a good person, our family can't afford it."

Wang Xifeng nodded repeatedly and then hurried away.

"What's wrong with this guy surnamed Sun?" When Tanchun saw that Daiyu's expression became indifferent and even revealed a strange smile after Wang Xifeng finished talking about this person, she felt a chill on her back.

Miaoyu was too lazy to listen to all this and went back to her room.

Daiyu didn't want to talk, so she ordered Zijuan: "You stay with the third lady..."

After a pause, he smiled again: "Look at me, I can never change. You guys supervise me, and from now on everyone in the palace will call me Princess Yimin."

Zijuan pursed her lips and smiled.

Qingwen agreed playfully: "Yes, Princess!"

Everyone chuckled.

"Take Xueyan with you and stay with Yimin in Qingqiu Court for a while. The palace will be able to send servants in two or three days. If it's not enough, listen to Auntie and buy as much as you can."

Daiyu made detailed arrangements.

Tanchun was also satisfied. Everyone left.

Here, Daiyu sat at the table with her head down, thinking slowly in her mind.

This man surnamed Sun seemed to be named Sun Shaozu. He had come to the Jia family because he had some unresolved issues.

In his previous life, he didn’t know whether it was Jia She who found him, or he who found Jia She.

And this time, the other party came to the door again eagerly, just for a marriage? !

She doesn't believe it.

Daiyu held the cup with both hands, looking at the tea swaying inside with a cold gaze, but she still couldn't get over that hurdle -

"Second sister, even if you are blessed with a happy life in this life, I still want to avenge you in my previous life. Otherwise, I will not be able to sleep or eat well."

After figuring it out, Daiyu let out a long sigh, raised her head, and called out, "Qingwen, come in."

Half an hour later, Jiang Yong left the house with a strange look on his face.

On the other side, Ni Er brought people to seal off Tanchun's courtyard. When he went home to take a look, he happened to meet Jia Yun and greeted him with a smile.

Jia Yun was about to ask Tanchun about her title of county lady, so he pulled him aside and asked, "Second brother, do you have time for a drink?"

"You can't drink. I'm afraid I'll have work to do in the evening. But we can have dinner together." Ni Er knew it well, so he simply dragged him to his home.

Ni Er's wife cooked and served the meal to the two of them, while she and her daughter went to the inner room to eat.

After talking and eating a meal, the two of them compared their news with each other. Ni Er remembered something and asked Jia Yun, "I heard that there is a man named Sun who wants to marry the county lady?"

"That person was very clever. When he heard that the third aunt had been conferred the title of county lady, he immediately wrote a letter home, saying that the fourth young lady could also be chosen.

"The first wife was so anxious that she overturned the table with one hand, pointed at the first master's nose and said, if the first master dared to marry the 12-year-old fourth daughter to that bastard, she would go to the Lin Mansion to beg Aunt Lin and ask the Queen Mother for permission to break off the marriage!"

When Jia Yun said this, the two of them laughed secretly. Ni Er slapped his thigh and sighed, "If I wasn't afraid of the errand, I would have drunk a lot of strong wine just for this sentence!"

"I will definitely drink this cup when I have time next time!" Jia Yun laughed, thought for a moment, and then asked Ni Er, "Those who used to serve the county lady are probably too embarrassed to go back now.

"Although the palace will send people, it is still not as reliable as having your own people. I heard the other day that Aunt Lin wanted to find a little girl to teach. Your sister is so smart, why don't you think of accepting this task?"

Ni Er was stunned: "I haven't heard of it! How did you know?"

Jia Yun blushed, coughed, and stammered, "That day, um, I heard from the Lin family..."

Ni Er was very smart and understood what was going on immediately. He laughed out loud, slapped Jia Yun on the shoulder, and said loudly, "I will definitely drink this glass of good wine when I have time some other day!"

After returning to the Lin Mansion, Ni Er immediately went to look for Lin Zhixiao's family and said that his daughter was fourteen years old this year and also wanted to find a job in the mansion.

Lin Zhixiao's wife couldn't help but laugh: "I thought you loved your daughter, and she wasn't a slave passed down from your ancestors. You might not be willing to let the child come in and suffer injustice, so I didn't ask you.

"You are well-informed and you actually came to my door. All right, send it over when it is convenient. I will ask the girl which sister to let take it with her."

Then asked what his name was.

Ni Erhan laughed, "How can I give a name? My family just calls her Big Girl. Sister-in-law, when you see that the girl is free, can you ask for mercy for us and give her a good name?"

Lin Zhixiao's family felt that Ni Er was on to something and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, leave it to me!"

The girl was brought in early the next morning.

Daiyu was idle, so when she heard about it, she asked her to come in and see. She saw that although the girl had a simple face, her eyes were very bright and she couldn't help laughing:

"This girl looks a bit like Xueyan, don't you think so?"

Qingwen and Xiaohong looked carefully and said with a smile, "Sure enough."

"Then I will follow Sister Xueyan?" The little girl was very smart and spoke with a smile.

Daiyu also smiled and pointed at Xiaohong: "Then take her directly to Qingqiuyuan and give her to Xueyan. Let Yimin give her a name."

Xiao Hong led the little girl over, and came back and said with a smile: "The third lady is quite easy. She said that since it looks like a snow goose, it should be called Snow Crow."

As they were talking and laughing, someone came from outside to report: "The Aunt Cheng from the palace last time is here, and she brought quite a few people with her."

Lin Daiyu hurriedly ordered someone to invite Tanchun and went out to greet her herself.

Cheng Qian came in and saw that the two of them were there. She smiled and said, "The Queen Mother sent two teaching aunts, two maids and a young eunuch to help the county lady take care of the mansion.

"As for the princess, the Queen Mother said it's not her responsibility. But the princess has always taken good care of herself, so it doesn't seem to be necessary."

Tanchun knelt down and thanked him.

Cheng Qian did not avoid it, and continued with a smile: "The Queen Mother said that the house next door needs to wait for the Ministry of Works to free up its hands to repair it for you. How to urge it in the meantime, the county lady can figure it out herself.

"Here are 100 taels of gold and 1,000 taels of silver. Give them to the princess as her daily expenses while living in the Lin Mansion.

"As for the rest, the county lady just needs to remember that she is the empress dowager's adopted daughter and make this daughter a perfect one. The empress dowager will be satisfied."

Tanchun's eyes filled with tears, and she choked up as she said, "I will always accompany you, mother, and be filial to you."

Cheng Qian smiled and nodded: "The Queen Mother does like to be lively, but the people who go there now are not the ones she wants to see. If the county lady goes there often, the Queen Mother will have reason to drive those who are not decent out."

After helping Tanchun up, he looked at Daiyu again, his smile unchanged but his eyes sharp, and asked, "I heard that Miss Lin and Master Miaofa are from the same village?"

"Yes." Lin Daiyu answered softly.

A hint of coldness flashed across Cheng Qian's eyes. "May I ask Miss Lin, is your father or your clan familiar with Master Miao Fa's ancestors?"

Daiyu was stunned: "I have never heard of this."

Cheng Qian said nothing, just looked at her calmly, waiting for her to continue explaining.
