Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

The whole room fell silent.

Qingwen looked around excitedly, and seeing that everyone was shocked and incredulous, she finally felt a little guilty, but still forced herself to ask Daiyu:

"Miss, I promised Manager Jiang and Shopkeeper Zhu that I will come to you and you will definitely let me go!"

"Uh..." Daiyu hesitated again.

If Qingwen was asked to go out with Jiang Yong and his men to do errands, she would feel at ease. But if Qingwen was asked to go alone to find out the bottom of those rogues, she really didn't dare!

After all, Qingwen's appearance is so delicate and charming!

If a girl like this is thrown into such a group of unscrupulous wolves, one mistake will probably lead to her eternal damnation!

"I'm afraid Sister Qingwen can't go." Xiaohong suddenly said, "You are too beautiful, tall and thin, with delicate features. Even if you dress up, I'm afraid you can't hide your beauty.

"What good have those ruffians in South City ever seen? If they find out your identity, they might get angry and lose your life, right?"

"I, I will take care of myself!" Qingwen was a little lacking in confidence.

Daiyu confirmed Xiaohong's words and nodded vigorously: "That won't work either! I won't let you go!"

He turned around and thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Zijuan, I remember your younger brother Xiaoshan is only nine years old, right?"

"Yes. Although he is only nine years old and looks honest, he knows what's going on in his heart. Normally at home, not to mention my parents, even I can't outsmart him."

Zijuan smiled and nodded, "Didn't the young lady ask Steward Lin to find a servant for Jiang Yong? I would like Xiaoshan to learn some skills from Steward Jiang, and I was just thinking of asking the young lady for this respect!"

Daiyu nodded with a smile: "Then it's settled."

Qingwen was so angry that she just walked away.

Xiaohong hurriedly chased after her and hugged her arm with a smile: "Sister, outside is really different from home. You also stayed outside when you were young, have you forgotten it?"

"Humph!" Although Qingwen knew that Xiaohong was right, she was still unwilling to accept it. She was so angry that her eyes turned red. "I finally have a chance to go out for a walk!"

Aunt Meng sighed behind her: "I have an appointment with two senior sisters to go shopping on the fifth day of the New Year. You can follow, okay?"

Qingwen's eyes lit up, and she ran back laughing, kneeling on both sides and bowing to the other, "Aunt is still the most kind-hearted! Thank you very much, Aunt!"

Zijuan waved to Xiaohong and said with a smile, "Go and tell your father to let my brother Xiaoshan serve as the permanent attendant to Manager Jiang.

"I'll tell Manager Jiang on the way that the girls in the inner house can't go out and do those things easily. If they make a mistake, his nine lives won't be enough for the girls to kill.

"Teach him to learn to be more tactful in the future, and not bring the bad habits of letting him do whatever he wants in the Tao Mansion here. Otherwise, let him go back to where he came from!

"He came here to serve the girl, not to let the whole family serve him."

Lin Daiyu smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "That's exactly what I meant."

Aunt Meng, like Qingwen, looked at Zijuan with eyes wide open in surprise: "Aren't you good at quarreling?"

"How can this be called a quarrel? We are just talking about reason." Zijuan smiled and turned around to pour a bowl of hot tea for Lin Daiyu, "Girl, take a rest."

Lin Daiyu smiled, then asked Xiaohong to walk forward a few steps, and whispered: "Also, ask Jiang Yong what he learned when he went to Tao's house today. Ask him to stay on track and tell you everything word for word."

Everyone was stunned, and then they remembered the most important thing today - several people looked at the screen with wisdom patterns in unison.

Xiaohong came out and went to the accounting office in the front yard to tell her father about Shan Xiaoshan.

Lin Zhixiao had obviously heard his daughter-in-law tell him about the oath Xiaohong had made to Daiyu, and he said kindly, "It's cold in winter, so you should wear enough clothes when you walk around, and be careful not to catch a cold."

Xiaohong agreed to come out, and was lost in thought for a while before going to Jiangyong's yard. She told Zijuan what she had said and knelt down to pay her respects:

"Now the relationship between the young lady and the Rong Mansion is being torn apart, and evil spirits from all over the place will emerge. Manager Jiang, please do not underestimate the complexity and twists and turns in this.

"When Miss Jia San comes, she will be in charge of the household affairs. I'm afraid Manager Jiang will have to learn how to deal with the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. When the time comes, please don't embarrass our daughter and uncle."

Jiang Yong had known for a long time that the matter with Yu Qingwen would not work, but seeing how cute and naive Qingwen was, he could not help but teasing her with Zhu Shou.

Who would have thought that he would be reprimanded like this? He felt a little unhappy. After hearing what Xiao Hong said, he couldn't help but feel angry and embarrassed:

"If you look down on me like this, why bother keeping me here? Why not just sell me off?!"

Xiao Hong looked at him steadily and said in a serious tone:

"You are a servant sent by our uncle, with a bond and a title deed. You proposed to sell me when we disagreed, but you are just relying on the fact that you hold the secrets of the girl's property.

"In fact, it's not a big deal if the girl fulfills your wish. If you are a disobedient servant, I will break your hands and feet, pierce your eyes and dig out your tongue, so I won't be afraid that you will betray your old master.

"But this will ruin our girl's reputation. So, if Manager Jiang continues to make trouble like this, the most likely thing is that he will return to Tao Mansion. If you want to return to Tao Mansion, you can talk to him nicely, and you don't have to use this attitude.

"Don't say that our lady doesn't need a servant like you. Even if she does, she has plenty of money. Three thousand, five thousand, eight thousand, ten thousand, can't she buy a good steward? The best thing is, ask His Majesty for one. It should be okay, right?!"

Jiang Yong couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the look that Emperor Zhaoming would give him when he heard how he did things!

"I just suffered an unexpected disaster, so I am a little angry. I am not making trouble. I have remembered what the girl said, and I will follow the rules in the future." Jiang Yong's attitude suddenly turned 180 degrees, and he even clasped his fists towards Xiaohong.

Xiao Hong then relaxed her expression and nodded, saying, "Young lady, you know that Manager Jiang was used to dealing with male masters before, so he was not so meticulous. So he has been more lenient these days.

"However, in this world, servants should get used to their masters, and masters should not get used to servants, right? Now that Manager Jiang has realized this today, he should change his ways quickly, otherwise he will not only be laughed at by outsiders, but also cause trouble."

Jiang Yong agreed reluctantly.

Xiao Hong then asked, "Miss, let me ask you, did you find out the origins of those three things when you went to Tao's house today?"

Jiang Yong hesitated.

"The girl told you not to go astray and to tell me every word so I can relay it when I get back." Xiaohong's eyes turned cold again.

Jiang Yong spread his hands helplessly: "Tao Jian was not at home, and he did not leave any message. I just asked the housekeeper at home, and whatever he said was what I got."

"What is that?" Xiao Hong's expression became even colder. "You are hesitating like this. Are you going to make me guess?"
