Chapter 192 Good Things Found

Perhaps knowing that they would not come back to live here again, the maids rushed in like cats smelling blood, wanting to see if the Xue family had left behind any valuables.

It was noisy and lively inside.

It was at that time that Lan Rui mixed into the crowd of onlookers.

Seeing the excitement written all over her face, Daiyu knew that she must have brought back some big gossip.

"Girl! You'll never guess what they left behind!"

Daiyu smiled faintly, and had some guesses in her mind, thinking that the "good stuff" she had put there before had been discovered.

"Girl, why aren't you curious?"

When Lan Rui saw that Daiyu was not as curious as she had expected, the pride on her face suddenly faded a little.

Only then did she notice Lin Ji standing nearby, and her voice suddenly became awkward.

Daiyu ignored the gossip and teased her and Lin Ji: "I think, after we return to Yangzhou, we will talk to the housekeeper Lin and arrange your marriage!"

"Girl! You just keep making fun of me! I won't talk to you anymore!" Lan Rui glanced at Lin Ji, her face flushed, and she quickly ran out of the room.

"Lin Ji, stop smiling foolishly and go back to your work." Daiyu waved her hand to signal Lin Ji to leave.

She returned to her study and continued to work hard, copying the exercises.

However, she still felt a little regretful that the good thing was not exposed in public, otherwise she could have seen Aunt Xue's social demise.

On second thought, this result is not bad. When Aunt Xue comes to visit again in the future, there will be a "big surprise" waiting for her that she will have no excuse for.

Three months is neither a short time nor a long time, but it does not leave much time for Daiyu. Just deciding which maids and servants to stay behind is already a difficult decision.

Daiyu spread out a piece of paper and wrote down the names of the maids on it.

Lan Rui came in as usual to tidy up the furnishings. She accidentally glanced at the paper on Daiyu's desk and asked curiously, "Miss, why did you write down all our names?"

Daiyu did not look up as she marked several of the names and explained, "I am considering which ones are suitable to stay and which ones should go back to Yangzhou with me."

Lan Rui put down the feather duster in her hand, walked to Daiyu, pointed at one of the names and said, "Although Honglian's mother can go with us, she probably doesn't want to go to Jiangnan with us."

Daiyu sighed and said that she understood. She knew that Honglian had no relatives or friends in Jiangnan anymore, and going back would only remind her of sad things.

"What about Qingwen and Zijuan? The three of them became sisters with different surnames. Wouldn't they want to be separated?"

Lan Rui tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Qingwen has always wanted to go out with the young lady to see the world; I don't know about Zijuan, she is not very interested in martial arts, she prefers embroidery. If it weren't for Xue Pan's incident before, which gave her some stimulation, she might not even want to go for the daily morning exercises!"

Daiyu nodded when she heard this and made a mark behind their names respectively.

Since receiving Daiyu's reminder last time, Yingchun went out privately to buy four servants, two men and two women, and arranged them to help in the shop. She also rented a small courtyard nearby for the four of them to live in.

After all, there are two other shop assistants in the shop who are Daiyu's subordinates. Yingchun can accept Daiyu's help, but she doesn't want to take advantage of her all the time.

That day, she came back from outside and smiled gratefully at Daiyu, saying jokingly, "What would I do if I didn't have you?"

"Cold dish! Okay, let's go out, otherwise those three little ones will think we're going to sleep all afternoon!"

As she spoke, Daiyu called the maid in and helped them to dress. Naturally, she did not notice Yingchun's hesitant expression as she seemed to want to say something.

As night fell, the three sisters returned to their rooms. Yingchun finally found an opportunity to speak to Daiyu: "My dear sister, can you sell me some of the skills you taught the servants to practice? Even the skills you don't need are fine.

The martial arts I am practicing now were learned from the pavilion and cannot be taught to others privately. Once discovered, at best, my martial arts will be abolished. "

Yingchun didn't say what the serious consequences would be, but Daiyu knew that it would be a severe punishment.

"Which one do you want?"

Yingchun looked at Daiyu in surprise, unable to believe her ears: "Is there another choice?"

"Of course! Whether it's swords, spears, hammers, whips, sticks, fans, or martial arts, there's nothing I can't do!"

Daiyu has copied down quite a few martial arts techniques recently, including some less popular fan-shaped weapon techniques, and no one knows who created them.

Yingchun came back to her senses from her shock and asked, "Where did you get all these skills?"

"There are so many escort agencies in Beijing. Just go through their secret compartments and you can get them all!"

Yingchun didn't expect that this could be possible.

She knew the difficulties involved and it would definitely not be as easy as Daiyu said.

Yingchun did not point it out, but asked Daiyu: "I want to teach my subordinates, which one do you think is more suitable? Also, you can deduct the money for the skills from my monthly bonus. When it is all deducted, you can exchange the money for land."

Daiyu looked at Yingchun's serious expression and couldn't bear to tease her.

Daiyu thought about it, collected the points gained from those exercises, and then converted them into silver: "Okay, I just made a hard trip for these exercises."

She took out the box containing the martial arts techniques, picked out a more popular sword technique and a body technique from the many techniques, and handed them to Yingchun.

"Your servants just bought it not long ago, so they are not suitable for practicing very advanced techniques. This body technique is quite powerful, and you can practice it yourself. This sword technique is relatively ordinary, suitable for most people to practice, and it is just right for them to get started."

Seeing how thoughtful Daiyu was about her, Yingchun couldn't help but throw herself into Daiyu's arms and hug her tightly. She was so moved that she didn't know how to express it. She could only say dryly, "Thank you!"

Daiyu patted her on the back and said, "We are from the same hometown, and we are lucky enough to be sisters. It is only natural for us to help each other."

Yingchun felt a little embarrassed when she heard this: "You are the one who helped me, but I couldn't do anything for you."

Daiyu looked at Yingchun teasingly and said mischievously, "Why don't you pledge yourself to me? Hahahaha!"

The two of them started playing on the bed, and their laughter passed through the thin gauze curtains and spread to the yard.

Even the dark satin sheets that Qinghe and the others had just changed into in the afternoon were wrinkled by them.

Just when they were having a great time, Gu's voice came into the room: "Girl, it's already past the second watch, aren't you going to sleep yet?"

The two of them immediately stopped their mischief, made faces at each other, and dared only to cover their mouths and laugh secretly, fearing that Grandma Gu would hear them again.

Yingchun whispered, "Don't bring Nanny Gu with you when you go back. Otherwise, she'll stare at you every day. I'll feel uncomfortable just thinking about it!"
