"Where is your father?"

Seeing Xiang Ling come in, Daiyu, who had just put down her pen at the desk, asked with a smile.

Xiangling came in and saw Daiyu sitting there, wearing a cloud-carved silk crimson soft smoke Luo Pipa skirt and a peach blossom cloud and mist cotton brocade skirt underneath. She smiled and said, "Miss Lin is so pretty."

Hearing this, Daiyu smiled and scolded: "As the saying goes: Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are dark. You have only been with your father for a few days, but you have imitated his smooth tongue."

Xiang Ling smiled charmingly and said: "Our father was just called by your master. He said that the governor was leaving and asked him to see him off."

Daiyu responded indifferently, and then asked calmly: "Yesterday, when did your father come back? Why did I vaguely hear that he caused trouble outside again and brought a girl back?"

Xiangling's knowledge was limited, so she picked up what she knew and said: "It's almost time to come back... That girl is not known to our father, but to sister Xiaojing. It seems that she was with a girl named Sun Erniang in Yangzhou Mansion when she was young.

, she seems to be the daughter of a brothel owner...she was caught by the eldest son of the Qi family for stealing things. Our master took her back last night, and we only saw her in the morning, kowtow to our master."

Daiyu only laughed after hearing these words, and Dao Jiaqiang could not rest for a moment. As for Li Jing's father's romantic affair when he was young, she naturally did not take it to heart and did not care.

But she didn't care, Zijuan felt bored to death.

In Zicuckoo's heart, Daiyu is as noble and innocent as a fairy from the Moon Palace, and does not eat the fireworks of the world.

Even if they are married when they grow up, their husband-in-law will be regarded as a gentle and affectionate young man with a rich family background.

May Daiyu be protected from worries about life, not disturbed by worldly things, and live a carefree life.

Look at Jia Qiang again...

The people around me were either people from the world who disguised themselves as men, or uncles and aunts who were born as hard-working coolies.

It's not that she looked down on these people, it was just that she really didn't want Daiyu to associate with such people.

If these are barely bearable, now even thieves who steal things and madams who run brothels have appeared, which makes Zijuan extremely anxious.

For a moment, his face became uncontrollably gloomy.

Although Xiang Ling was more delicate and naive, she was not stupid. Seeing Zijuan's obviously unhappy expression, she felt uneasy and wanted to leave.

Daiyu didn't want to think about it, but she said directly: "Ignore her, she is confused again. I don't want to think about it, if Brother Qiang didn't know so many people, how could he have saved my father? Although Brother Qiang interacted with those people,

But he’s not a bad person, so why do you think so much?”

Hearing this, Zijuan knew that Daiyu was deeply "poisoned" and would be difficult to convince. She planned to find an opportunity to talk to Aunt Mei to see if there was any way. However, she did not hide it and said with a smile: "Where am I?"

After thinking too much, it was clear that Xiang Ling was bluffing people, that she was a madam and a thief, and she brought her back to the house. When she returned to Beijing, the old lady at home knew these things, and even the girl couldn't be left behind. What's more,

What’s more, I’m a girl?”

Daiyu didn't care and said with a faint smile: "Don't bluff the old lady. Half a year later, my father and I will return to Beijing. Naturally, we will live at home. I will only visit the old lady when I have free time like Yun'er. As long as you don't

How can the old lady know if you are just talking nonsense and rebelling against me?"

Xiangling suddenly had an idea on the side, and remembered Jia Qiang's words, and said seriously: "Zicjuan doesn't have anything to worry about. Our master said that he and Miss Lin are gentlemen, and he praised Miss Lin as a gentleman among girls. Furthermore,

, what you think makes no sense. Aren’t Mr. Lin and Miss Lin smarter than you? If they ask us to move, then we can move, otherwise we will let down their good intentions..."

"Ouch! Okay, okay, the more you talk about it, the less likely it is!"

Zijuan's face turned red with anger when she saw Daiyu, and her body was trembling. She almost knelt down in front of Xiangling. When had she ever said anything about asking people to move away?!

Zijuan stomped her feet and begged for mercy: "You have really wronged me. I am just a girl next to you. I am still a member of the Jia family. How can I drive you away? I am just... you are really... Xiangling, you

Hurry up and coax our girl, otherwise if she gets really angry and chases me away, I will die in front of you!"

Xiangling was also startled. Seeing that Daiyu was so angry, with tears streaming down her face, she only looked at Zicuckoo. She looked really bluffing, so she quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Good girl, I'm just talking nonsense."

Just a few words, how could you be so angry? Sure enough, you are so angry that you can’t live any longer. Our father will also scold me. He respects the girl and Master Lin the most..."

Zijuan saw Daiyu as if she hadn't heard anything, but just looked at her. She felt panicked, so she knelt down and begged: "Young lady, at least you are interested in seeing me serve you. Believe me this time, I will never lose my temper."

, you can’t do anything to drive people away!”

Hearing this, Daiyu thought of the friendship over the years, her heart softened, and she chose to believe her. She exhaled slowly and said faintly: "Today is really the last time. This time I have to make trouble in front of Xiangling."

, next time if I make trouble in front of Brother Qiang, will you let me live..."

Before Daiyu's angry words could be spoken, Zijuan burst into tears and said repeatedly: "Never again, never again. Don't be upset, girl. There's only half a year left. When we get back to the capital,

I have to go back to Jia's house if I can't, why do you want to drive me away now?"

Daiyu's harsh words were naturally angry. She is such a kind person. Zijuan has taken good care of her in the past few years and has always been considerate of her. Even if she is extremely angry, she can only say a few annoying words. No matter what

It's impossible to really drive away the rhododendron.

When she heard that Zicuckoo actually had this intention, she was startled and scolded: "What are you talking about? Since the old lady gave you to me, how can there be any reason to go back? She is not around her.

I can’t miss you, just stay in my Lin family.”

Seeing that Xiangling looked uneasy because she thought she was in trouble, Daiyu smiled and said, "You silly girl, do you want me to comfort you?"

Xiangling shook her head, but still didn't dare to speak, for fear of saying the wrong thing again.

Daiyu interrupted the conversation and asked, "Where's Xiaojing? I haven't seen her in the past few days."

Xiangling hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I don't know either. I heard that he was helping our father organize something outside. He just left again and sent Miss Sun home... By the way, Sister Xiaojing initially

He said that letting the girl named Sun come to the inner house can protect Miss Lin. Our master said that it is not appropriate, so it is better to let her go home."

These words finally made Zijuan nod repeatedly. If a thief from a brothel broke into the inner house, wouldn't it affect Daiyu's reputation?

But I heard Xiang Ling say again: "Girl, is there something wrong with our father? Then I will go look for him now, otherwise he will go out to look for money with Sister Xiaojing later, and girl will not be able to see him."

"Looking for money?"

Daiyu frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of silver are you looking for, and how do you find it?"

Xiangling shook her head and whispered: "I don't know, I just heard from Sister Xiaojing that the family only has less than ten taels of silver, and they are running out of money..."

The tone is vaguely sad, but also a bit tragic.

Seeing this, Daiyu couldn't help but burst into laughter, and laughed away the depression that was stuck in her heart. She gave her an angry look and said, "Sure enough, after following your master for a long time, he started to make weird faces.

It’s hard to say what I can do next to Brother Qiang, but my ability to run a household doesn’t require you to cry for poverty?”

Xue Yan also giggled and said: "Don't be afraid Xiang Ling, when you can't survive, come to me to borrow osmanthus oil and I will lend it to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from outside the door: "Can't you make it? I'm just worried that I won't be able to spend all the money in the future, and there will be a time when I can't make it? Xueyan, you'd better save your osmanthus oil."

"Ah! Our master is here!"

Xiangling was excited when she heard the sound and shouted happily.

Daiyu also had a smile on her face, but she teased Xiangling and said, "But after being separated for a while, you are so happy that you are not ashamed!"

Xiang Ling couldn't help but laugh, and then everyone saw Jia Qiang, dressed in a moon-white Confucian shirt, stepping in unhurriedly, with a confident and free smile on her face.

Daiyu was the first to tease: "Bragging again! Xiangling has already said it, but now you don't even have ten taels of silver, and you are still talking big words."

Jia Qiang didn't defend herself, she just looked at Daiyu's eyes and said, "Why are you crying?"

Daiyu's smile condensed, she quickly avoided her eyes and said, "Who is crying? You are the one who is crying..."

Xiangling was sincere and wanted to step forward to explain clearly, but Zijuan held her back. He rolled his eyes at her angrily and threatened: "Don't say it! You are not allowed to say it after you go back. How can you say things between girls to men?"

Listen? If you tell us, we will recognize you in vain."

Xiangling was startled and asked Jia Qiang in a low voice: "Master, what do I still say?"

Before Jia Qiang had time to speak, Daiyu turned around and said with a smile: "You Xiangling, how dare you rebel?"

Xiangling chuckled and said, "Never again! I didn't say a word of what Miss Lin said before."

Daiyu snorted, looked at Jia Qiang and pursed her lips and smiled: "You are lucky, Bao Yatou's brother caused such a fight, and in the end you got an advantage. Xiangling is such a good girl, she is so beautiful,

There is a rouge mole between her eyebrows, but she is all about you in her heart, so you have to treat her well, otherwise I won’t listen to you either."

Hearing this, Jia Qiang glanced at the moved Xiang Ling with tears in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Of course this is what it should be. She is mine, and I will take care of her for the rest of her life."

Everyone laughed for a while, and then Daiyu asked about the business: "What happened last night? I was vaguely listening. Did you cause another commotion outside?"

Jia Qiang explained everything roughly, and Daiyu and others were all dumbfounded.

Daiyu couldn't figure it out: "Why does Bao Yatou's brother come to Yangzhou to look for you?"

Jia Qiang had a chat with Xue Pan last night. When Daiyu asked about it, she sat aside with a headache and said, "Didn't he spend a hundred thousand taels of silver to go to Fengle Tower to marry the most famous prostitute in the world, Hua Jieyu?"

He was redeemed and placed in my house on Xixie Street. Brother Xue went there to sit there during the day, but he didn't want to be beaten severely by Zhao Guogong's grandson and his men, and threatened to release him as soon as possible.

Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I see you. The adults in the family have little choice. Duke Zhao is too old and not very reasonable. Brother Xue is afraid, so he ran south to hide and come to me to discuss how to take revenge later."

Daiyu was faintly unhappy and asked curiously: "Sister Bao's brother, what does he have to do with you? Why would he come to seek your help in revenge after causing trouble? It makes no sense."

Jia Qiang wanted to laugh for some reason, but she also knew that her life might be in danger if she laughed at this time...

Then he grimaced, thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because I am his friend. After all, when I was in the most difficult situation when I escaped from the Ning Mansion, it was Brother Xue who sent me a cart of belongings, which relieved my temporary difficulties.

As the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. Now that he is in trouble, I can't help but die."

Daiyu's face softened when she heard this. She thought about it and asked curiously: "What about Auntie and Bao Yatou? They didn't say anything?"

Jia Qiang thought about it and still felt that it was hard to lie. She took out a letter from her arms and said with a smile: "Aunt Xue wrote a letter and asked me to look after Brother Xue..."

Before he finished speaking, Daiyu took the letter from his hand freshly and naturally, opened it casually, and sneered continuously as she read it.

Jia Qiang: "..."
