Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 241: Grandmother Jia's Wrist

After they confirmed that the old lady was awake and emotionally stable, Wang Xifeng began her performance with great singing and acting skills.

"My dear ancestor! Do you know how frightened I was yesterday?"

Daiyu and Wang Xifeng exchanged glances secretly, and she continued, "You don't know that my enemy left me a whole courtyard of sisters. They are usually spoiled and have never seen such a scene.

When they heard that the Jinyiwei had surrounded our house, they all started to make a scene, no longer looking as cute and lovely as usual. My granddaughter-in-law couldn't handle it!"

The acupuncture treatment in the morning had begun to take effect, and Jia's mother could speak complete sentences. But after all, she had fainted, so her speaking speed was naturally not as fast as normal.

"You monkey, come here now, have you dealt with the people in the yard?"

Wang Xifeng was pregnant and let Humber help her sit down beside Lady Jia's bed.

"Thank you for taking the trouble, old ancestor. We have already arranged everything. I think we should let them perform a Nuo opera to drive away the evil spirits and bring good luck to our family!"

These words caused everyone in the room to burst into laughter, and a smile also appeared on Jia's slightly stiff face.

Only Daiyu secretly felt sorry for Sister Feng. She was tearing open her own scars for others to enjoy.

Wang Xifeng felt Daiyu's special look, turned around and blinked at her, as if saying: Why don't you laugh at such a funny thing!

Seeing that Wang Xifeng really didn't seem to care, Daiyu couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed that she had underestimated Wang Xifeng.

With Wang Xifeng's humor, Jia's mother's mood was obviously much better and her illness recovered faster.

On the morning of the fourth day after Jia She and Jia Zheng were imprisoned, Jia's mother's condition had not yet fully improved, so she directed Yuanyang and Amber to help her put on the first-rank court dress, and walked towards the front yard with the phoenix-head cane given by the emperor.

Daiyu and others rushed over immediately after receiving the news.

She felt that it was unlikely that her sisters could convince Grandmother Jia to change her mind, so she asked Luluo to inform Gu Mama to change into her former female official uniform and come quickly.

Just as Daiyu expected, no matter how the people present tried to persuade her, Grandmother Jia had made up her mind.

Helplessly, Daiyu compromised and said, "If you want to go, Grandma, let Gu go with you!"

Grandmother Jia originally wanted to refuse, but she changed her mind when she thought that if Nanny Gu went with her, she might be able to find out some information in the palace.

Daiyu looked at Madam Gu and solemnly asked, "Madam, I'm leaving my grandmother in your care. Please take good care of her!"

As she spoke, she quietly stuffed a stack of banknotes into Grandma Gu's hands.

Grandmother Jia smiled and stopped Daiyu's hand, saying, "My dear child, grandma brought a lot of banknotes, how can I ask you for money?"

Upon hearing this, Daiyu had no choice but to put the banknote back into her purse.

Grandmother Jia gently stroked Daiyu's face, her eyes full of love: "Good child, your filial piety is remembered by your grandmother!"

She stroked the collar of her shirt again, as if lost in memory: "The last time I wore this court dress was when His Majesty first ascended the throne..."

Grandmother Jia stopped talking in time and didn't say anything more.

She looked at the girls in front of her and said with a smile, "Well, it's getting late. I handed in my name card to the palace yesterday. If I were late, I'm afraid the old concubine would blame me!"

Daiyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She had not expected that Grandmother Jia had hidden it from anyone and quietly asked the Jinyiwei outside to pass a sign to the palace.

She couldn't help but feel guilty, wondering if the old lady had noticed her every move in the Jia Mansion...

Everyone sent Lady Jia to the corner gate of the inner courtyard. They watched her get on the carriage and the corner gate closed again. Then they turned around and went back to Lixiang Courtyard.

Along the way, Daiyu was in a state of unrest. She could only suppress this strange feeling by keeping herself busy.

She asked Xichun, "It's your birthday in a few days, what would you like to eat?"

Xichun's eyes widened: "Cousin, how can you still think about organizing my birthday at this time?"

Yingchun and others were also surprised by Daiyu's words. They didn't expect that under such circumstances, Daiyu could still remember Xichun's birthday.

The paintbrush in Xichun's hand also slowly dropped, and the paint on the tip of the brush dripped onto the drawing paper, instantly spreading out a large area of ​​fiery red color.

"ah!"

Xichun exclaimed, pointing at a corner of the drawing paper in frustration: "Cousin, it's all your fault for suddenly bringing up my birthday. You distracted me. Look! There's such a big patch of red. What should I do?"

Before, Xichun was very interested in this painting and did not allow Daiyu and others to take a peek at it.

Daiyu then knew that this was painted by Xichun specially for her.

At this moment, the painting was covered with a large amount of red and was ruined.

Xichun did not hide it and held up the drawing paper to show it to the sisters: "Look! Just draw the dress on my cousin and it's done!"

Yingchun took the drawing paper and looked at it, and couldn't help feeling sorry: "Yes, such a big patch, I don't know how to fix it! Sister painted it very well, and everyone is lifelike. We have never seen cousin Daiyu wearing such a bright dress, it's a pity."

The painting was passed around among several people and finally fell into Daiyu's hands.

She looked at the discordant red on "herself" and an idea flashed through her mind: "How difficult is this!"

As she spoke, she picked up a clean brush, dipped it in some water, and spread the red color. Then she picked up the brush that Xichun had used and dipped it in the rich red color.

When the paper was completely dry, she was about to start drawing on it, but she heard Xichun shout, "Cousin, there are already too many drops of paint, why are you adding more?"

Daiyu looked up and smiled at her soothingly: "Since you think it's ruined, let me add a few strokes and try."

"Okay!" Xichun stood beside Daiyu, wanting to see what kind of pattern she could draw.

Daiyu casually sketched a few strokes, and a few short, thick, curly petals appeared on the paper. Then, she quickly picked out five or six slender stamens to embellish them.

After repeating this several times, the abrupt red color was transformed by Daiyu into a large umbrella-shaped inflorescence.

Yingchun recognized the flower at first sight: "This is the red spider lily!"

After her reminder, the sisters all recognized it. But Xichun frowned: "But this flower is unlucky!"

Daiyu put down her brush and said with a relaxed smile: "It's just a flower, there's no need to say so much."

Seeing Daiyu so open-minded, Xichun put aside her worries and picked up the paintbrush again.

With a ready-made template, her thoughts diverged, and she added several red spider lilies to the painting of Daiyu.

Tanchun looked at Xichun's final product and said jokingly, "Originally we were enjoying the cool under the pear tree, but now we look like the devil concubines!"
