The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Aunt Rong smiled and thanked her, then turned her gaze to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Since it's given by my cousin, we're all family, so just accept it, Ma'am."

Aunt Rong nodded quickly and bowed slightly to Xue Baochai.

"Thank you Miss Xue!"

Xue Baochai smiled and shook her head.

"You're too polite, Ma'am. It's just tea money, nothing to worry about."

After Rong Mama took the red envelope,

Lin Daiyu wanted to ask if it was a reply from Li Qingfeng, but she couldn't say it in front of Xue Baochai.

His eyes turned slightly, and he looked at Rong Mama and asked with a smile,

"Mammy, has there been a letter from my cousin?"

"what?"

Rong Mama was slightly stunned, and immediately found that Lin Daiyu was winking at her, and immediately understood what she meant.

He nodded and smiled.

"Ah, yes, it's that relative who wrote."

As he spoke, he took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu looked at the familiar handwriting on the envelope and her cheeks subconsciously blushed.

After receiving the letter, he did not open it directly. Instead, he smiled and said to Xue Baochai beside him in a calm manner,

"He's a distant relative, don't think too much about it, sister."

Xue Baochai shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "It's okay."

But he was speechless in his heart. He was trying to cover up his mistake by pretending to be guilty. He really thought that she couldn't see through him.

However, Xue Baochai did not say much. After all, they came here to ask for help, and they were counting on Lin's father to help rescue Xue Pan.

Naturally, he wouldn't say too much and offend Lin Daiyu.

After accompanying Lin Daiyu to play in the garden for a while, Xue Baochai tactfully said she was tired and left.

As soon as Xue Baochai left, Lin Daiyu immediately took Xueyan back to her boudoir and couldn't wait to open the letter to read it.

As for Aunt Rong, she habitually stood outside Lin Daiyu's door waiting.

……

Outside Yangzhou City, Qingfeng Village.

Li Qingfeng looked at the stack of drawings handed to him by Xiao Ai, flipped through them briefly, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Good! This thing looks much simpler to make!"

Then he put away the drawing and handed it back to Xiao Ai.

"Tomorrow you can take the craftsmen to the village and start. Don't be afraid to spend money. There are a lot of salt merchants waiting to send us silver at the foot of the mountain."

"Now this Peak Master is so poor that all he has left is silver!"

Xiao Ai nodded in response.

"Okay, got it!"

Qingfeng Li let out a long sigh and stood up.

He tilted his head and looked outside the hall and shouted,

"Monkey, why don't you get in here quickly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin figure rushed in from the courtyard outside the hall.

He slid to his knees and arrived directly in front of Li Qingfeng.

"Please give your orders, Peak Master!"

Ever since today's kneeling punishment ended, Shen Gonghou has been waiting quietly in the courtyard to reflect on his mistakes and await Li Qingfeng's instructions.

Qingfeng Li waved his hand, looked at the skinny monkey and smiled,

"How is it? Does your knee still hurt?"

Shen Gonghou's old face turned red and he lowered his head in shame.

Qingfeng Li nodded slightly and said with a smile,

"As the saying goes, knowing shame leads to courage. I hope you can remember this lesson!"

"I don't want you to pay for your mistakes with the heads of your brothers next time! Do you understand?"

Shen Gonghou looked up at Qingfeng Li and said seriously,

"Yes, Peak Master! I will keep it in mind!"

"Ok!"

Qingfeng Li waved his hand casually.

Shen Gonghou slowly stood up and stood in front of Li Qingfeng with his hands behind his back.

Li Qingfeng tapped his forehead with his fingers, thought for a moment, looked at Shen Gonghou and said,

"Last time, I originally planned for you to go to Jinling in the next two days, but that idiot Big Dog accidentally ruined the plan."

Hearing this, Shen Gonghou was immediately filled with righteous indignation and said,

"That damn Zhao Dagou has a big head and a thick neck, and he does nothing all day long!"

Then he clasped his fists towards Qingfeng Li and said,

"Peak Master, please don't punish him. That kid is very thick-skinned and can't remember. It's better to hand it over to my subordinates..."

"Hahaha!"

Qingfeng Li laughed out loud, shook his head and looked at Shen Gonghou speechlessly.

"No, Monkey, the way you say that is so outrageous that it's almost jumping into this Peak Master's face."
