Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

After that, Wang Xifeng's mind was obviously no longer on chatting.

Gradually, Daiyu and Yingchun couldn't help but lower their voices, for fear of disturbing her thoughts.

Daiyu approached Yingchun and asked, "What are you going to do with Siqi?"

Yingchun replied calmly, "She will get married when she is old enough. She is not my servant, and I am not her mother or father. Where she goes is none of my business."

"What about the maids in your room? Isn't there any that can be used?"

Yingchun pursed her lips and said nothing, then shook her head gently.

Seeing this, Daiyu couldn't help but sigh.

This is also one of the reasons why she did not dare to ask for the parrot since she entered the Jia Mansion.

The servants in the Jia family had intermarried with each other, and had long since formed an intricate network of relationships.

The mutual attacks between these forces have long gone beyond a simple struggle for favor and power and have become increasingly blind and fierce.

The Jia family was like an ancient tree, entangled and parasitic by countless vines, and was rotting from the roots.

Perhaps only with the courage to cut off one's own arm, or with the help of external forces, can these rotten parts be trimmed off and a glimmer of hope be preserved for the Jia family.

The two were immersed in their own thoughts, and their mood became very heavy.

When they returned to the inner courtyard, they saw Nanny Wang, who had been waiting at the gate.

Yingchun glanced at him briefly, said "I'm tired, I'll go back and wash up first", and walked straight into the yard.

Daiyu and Nanny Wang walked towards the small courtyard next to them in tacit understanding.

"Mom, do you have something important to tell me?"

Nanny Wang's expression was very serious: "Miss, it was Lin Ji who came to see you. I took on this task because I wanted to find a chance to tell you that I want to stay in Lixiang Courtyard and help you guard the courtyard!"

Daiyu chuckled: "I thought something big had happened! We need to think about this matter carefully. I'm worried that you, mother, can't control those stubborn servants of the Jia family!"

Nanny Wang wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Daiyu: "Mom, I know what you mean. When we have time, let's discuss this matter with Lingji and Nanny Gu. This matter is not that simple."

Nanny Wang was a little embarrassed: "Young lady, please don't be perfunctory to me!"

"How could that be! Mom has been protecting me all the way, so of course I will take your request to heart!"

After Daiyu comforted Nanny Wang, she walked into the main hall, where Lin Ji was already waiting.

"Miss, I have already bought the abandoned house and started to repair it." When he saw Daiyu coming in, he took the initiative to report, "Just as you expected, someone came to inquire about the news. We let them visit, anyway, it's empty inside and there's nothing valuable. The most valuable things in the house now should be the materials we brought in later."

“Is there anything unusual when buying a house?”

Lin Ji thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "Nothing special, it's just that the clerk in the government office asked a few questions about the purpose of this house, and I answered according to your instructions. It seems that the clerk didn't suspect anything."

Daiyu nodded and said, "Well done. You don't have to stop others from visiting while the house is being renovated. Just one thing, don't let thieves take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in just to distance yourself from the matter."

"Yes, girl!"

"Do you and Nanny Wang have enough money?"

"To answer the young lady's question, it is enough! Since the Ruzhou property was handed over to Huang Yongjin, we have added another farm in the suburbs of Beijing. Apart from sending all the expenses to the young lady, we can be completely self-sufficient."

"Don't you think that since He Kangshou is in charge of the manor, it's a bit of a waste of talent to let you take charge of this matter as well?"

"What are you talking about, young lady!" Lin Ji waved his hands repeatedly and scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by the young lady. After handing over that mess, I feel much more relaxed. I also have time to practice martial arts every day. I feel that my kung fu has improved a lot!"

"Then can you beat Lan Rui?"

"No, but compared to before, I can last a few more moves!" Lin Ji admitted readily, not feeling embarrassed at all.

Daiyu didn't want to tease Lin Ji anymore. She glanced at Bai Shao who was walking in from the door and told him, "In addition to practicing martial arts, don't neglect your studies. Look for a suitable female teacher and bring her back to teach the maids."

She did not forget that Xiangling in the original novel loved writing poetry very much, and she did not want the maids around her to be illiterate.

After Lin Ji left the main hall, Bai Shao spoke up, "Miss, Nanny Gu doesn't know when you will be back, and it's inconvenient for her to wait for you, so she asked me to pass on a message to you. Nanny Gu guessed from Xue Baochai's words that she might have found a way to get through to Madam Wang."

Daiyu smiled faintly: "Is she desperate and trying all kinds of methods? Doesn't she know that you shouldn't ask two masters for help? Well, since the selection hasn't officially started yet, tell Nanny Gu to ask those two people to check if there is anyone helping Xue Baochai behind the scenes or making trouble for her."

"Yes, girl!"

Seeing that Bai Shao had not left, Daiyu asked, "Is there anything else?"

Bai Shao directly repeated Huang Yongjin's words to Daiyu verbatim: "Fang Shuntai's people have made an appointment with us to deliver the goods in three days. Young Master Fang wants brighter colored materials. In addition, He Zhengyang has successfully entered the escort agency."

"I understand. Tell Huang Yongjin that I will put the cloth in the yard of my escort agency. When the transaction is completed, let the people of the escort agency give Lin Ji 5,000 taels of silver."

Bai Shao left as soon as she was told, while Daiyu fell into deep thought, planning her next move in her mind.

After nightfall, Daiyu lay on the bed, searching for suitable fabrics in the system mall.

In the main world, 3D printing technology is already very mature. As long as you master the materials and weaving methods, you can reproduce those precious fabrics.

However, many weaving methods of cloth have been lost in the long river of history and are extremely difficult to find again. And in the main world, only those enthusiasts who are obsessed with this kind of skills will try their best to reproduce these precious skills.

The cloths that Daiyu had bought frequently before were welfare products put on the shelves by those enthusiasts.

The wood she was looking for this time had to be brightly colored and have complex patterns. Many of them could be identified from their names to show whether they were rare in her time.

She carefully selected them, compared them with her previous purchase records, and finally placed an order for eight of them.

But when paying the points, Daiyu exclaimed, "Why is it only 80 points? Wasn't it 20 points per horse before?"

She waited for a while and didn't hear any response from 111. Then she remembered that she hadn't opened 111 since she muted it last time.

The first thing 111 said after the ban was lifted was: [The system is dying! ]

Daiyu couldn't help laughing, ignoring 111's complaints, and asked, "Why is it only points per piece of cloth this time?"

There was a hint of urgency in the mechanical voice of 111, as if Daiyu was going to ban it again in the next second: [Host, please take a look at the details page of the product! ]
