Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 179: Learning from Sister Feng

Yingchun patiently explained to Shi Xiangyun: "Your sister Lin is still in mourning, although we live together in the mansion, there are still some rules that must be followed.

When she was away, we couldn't make the decision on our own and let you move in. Now that she's back, just stick with her. She has a lot of delicious food here, so you'd better seize the opportunity!"

Xichun glanced at the gate of the courtyard and said mysteriously, "Also, the biggest advantage of this place is that it doesn't require any preparation!"

Shi Xiangyun looked doubtful and obviously didn't understand what Xichun meant.

Daiyu smiled and waved her hands, saying, "It's just some daily food. How can the people in the kitchen have the nerve to ask for extra money? As long as you don't ask me for dragon liver and phoenix marrow, or those precious things, I can still satisfy you here."

As soon as Xichun entered the house, she felt like a fish in water. She sat on the kang carefreely, picked up the snacks on the table and stuffed them into her mouth, and said vaguely: "I have been accompanying Sister Yun in the old ancestor's courtyard these days, and it has been quite okay. Which of the maids in the mansion is easy to deal with? I have to pay for them to buy wine and snacks. I really don't know who is the master!"

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and walked out angrily, shouting, "Which maid in the courtyard is so cunning? I'll go to the old lady and complain about them!"

Seeing this, Tanchun quickly hugged Shi Xiangyun and coaxed her into the house, while glaring at Xichun: "Why are you teasing Sister Xiangyun? Come on, come on, eat your snacks. Don't talk with a mouth full of snacks. Aren't you afraid of dirtying your cousin's kang?"

Daiyu cast an inquiring look at Yingchun, obviously asking what had happened that she didn't know about.

Yingchun rolled her eyes at Daiyu in reproach: "Why are you looking at me? Don't you know who I brought with me when I lived here?"

"Where are the maids and servants who usually serve you?"

Yingchun smiled softly, as if talking about someone else's business: "I am alone, why do I need so many people to serve me? I have already told the second wife, if they have any opportunities, just find a better place, I will not hinder their bright future."

Shi Xiangyun looked bewildered, not knowing what the two sisters were talking about: "Aren't we talking about those tricky slaves?"

They smiled at each other. Xichun swallowed a mouthful of dessert and said, "Speaking of servants, the one in Sister Yingchun's room is the most famous. Haha!"

"You little troublemaker, you're starting to make up stories about my faults!" Yingchun pretended to be angry and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on Xichun's waist.

Xichun protected the plate of snacks on the table and begged for mercy, "Sister, I was wrong. I won't do it again. Stop it! The snacks are going to spill!"

Tanchun and Daiyu watched the two laughing and joking, but Shi Xiangyun asked, "Shouldn't we tell the old lady about this?"

Daiyu watched them play with a faint smile on her face: "The Jia family has always been kind to these servants, and we are just guests of the mansion. We have no position or right to interfere in such family affairs."

Shi Xiangyun frowned: "But this is obviously wrong!"

"Some things are not black or white." After saying this, Daiyu felt a little frightened. She seemed to have become a person who tolerates the existence of gray.

She forced a smile and said, "How old are you? You are only a few months older than Xichun. The maids and servants in this mansion are intertwined and not as simple as they seem. You should observe slowly and time will tell you everything."

After Yingchun finished teasing Xichun, she walked over to Daiyu and saw that she looked a little unhappy. She asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Daiyu took Yingchun's hand and they walked to the antique shelf and stood there. She whispered, "When I first came here, I hated these servants of the Jia family. But now, I have begun to condone all this."

Yingchun hid the smile on her lips and reminded him, "You've been fooled by that little girl! For some things, it's enough for you to distinguish right from wrong. Who says you have to correct it? Is that your responsibility? As long as you set your heart right, it'll be fine."

Daiyu scratched Yingchun's palm and said, "Luckily you are here, otherwise I would have gone to extremes!"

"It's okay. Don't worry about that little girl. Although she is straightforward, she is sometimes too honest. Let her get frustrated a few more times, and she will understand the severity of reality."

The five of them sat together, talking and laughing, some reading, some playing chess, it was really lively.

Shi Xiangyun observed from the side that the sisters seemed to be more lively and cheerful in Lixiang Courtyard. Even Yingchun, who was always reserved, would play with the sisters, which she had never seen in Jia's mother's courtyard.

She thought to herself: Perhaps all these changes are due to Sister Lin.

At this time, Daiyu was holding a handkerchief and wiping the dust off the leaves of the orchid.

Shi Xiangyun walked over to Daiyu, touched the broken parts of a few leaves, and said, "This orchid is growing very well, but it's a pity that these leaves are broken. If they were intact, it would definitely be more perfect!"

Daiyu paused for a moment and laughed awkwardly: "Yes, what a pity. I accidentally broke it before. Fortunately, the flower is about to bloom. It's worth my taking care of it for the past few months!"

After hearing this, Shi Xiangyun's eyes lit up and she excitedly suggested, "When the flowers bloom, let's hold a flower viewing party, okay?"

Yingchun agreed with a smile: "You shouldn't ask us this question, you should ask your sister Lin, she is a wealthy woman!"

"Yes! We will rely on our cousin, who is a wealthy family!" Xichun joined in with a smile.

Daiyu didn't expect that she would be able to have a meal with a few "big guys" last night. Anyway, she made a lot of money, and her sisters were happy, so it was okay to let them do what they wanted.

"Okay! Since everyone is looking forward to it so much, I will be responsible for paying for it. As for the hard work of organizing a flower viewing party..." Daiyu looked around at them and smiled gloatingly, "Then leave it to Tanchun and Sister Yun!"

"Me?" Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun asked in unison.

Shi Xiangyun declined repeatedly: "But I have never held a flower viewing party!"

Daiyu asked curiously, "I remember the old ancestor mentioned before that Sister Yun, you postponed coming to the Jia Mansion for a few days because you wanted to learn how to be a housekeeper from your aunt, right?"

"Where have I learned how to be a butler..."

Seeing that Shi Xiangyun had a strange expression on her face, Yingchun gently tugged at Daiyu's sleeve, signaling her not to ask any more questions.

Daiyu stuck out her tongue at her and said, "Forget it, let's go find someone with experience!"

"Who is it?" Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun asked together.

"Second sister-in-law Lian!" Daiyu smiled at them, "I haven't seen sister-in-law for a while, it's a good opportunity for us to go see Sister Yuan together!"

After hearing this, the two little ones held their hands and giggled happily.

Daiyu put the polished orchid back on the cabinet and told Qinghe to go and greet Wang Xifeng first, so that they would not rush over and offend anyone.
