Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 160: Too Much Responsibility

Tanchun was afraid that Daiyu would forget her gift, so she hurriedly said, "There's also mine!"

Daiyu smiled and nodded, then opened Tanchun's scroll, on which was written a poem. The handwriting was beautiful, elegant yet sharp.

"Plum Blossom Village at the foot of Luofu Mountain, with bones made of jade and soul made of ice..." Daiyu recited it softly, "This is a poem by Su Shi!"

Tanchun blushed slightly and explained, "I'm not as good at painting as Sister Xichun, but my calligraphy is pretty good."

After Daiyu finished reading, she also praised Tanchun: "You are so young, and you have only practiced calligraphy for a few years, but you can already see some style. It's rare. But this poem is a little bleak after all."

When Tanchun first heard Daiyu's praise, she felt quite proud, but after hearing the latter part, she couldn't help but pursed her lips.

Seeing this, Yingchun sighed, gently stroked the back of Tanchun's head, and comforted her: "It would be great if you could get back on track with Xichun."

"What's wrong with me?" Xichun stared at her cousin with a pair of innocent big eyes.

Daiyu laughed and teased her and Tanchun: "Your sister Tanchun is too responsible and takes everything on herself. If she could learn to be half as heartless as you, I would worry less about her! Look at this poem she wrote..."

Several people sat together and discussed Su Shi's poem.

Tanchun also forgot her previous sadness and grabbed one side of the scroll and pulled it towards her: "If you don't like it, just give it back to me!"

Daiyu also refused to let go, and the childish temper flared up, and she started fighting with Tanchun for the thing.

"That won't do! Since it was given to me, it's mine. I'm going to take it back to Jiangnan as a souvenir!"

"Hey, hey! Let go! Don't tear it!"

In the end, Daiyu gained the upper hand. She rolled up the calligraphy and painting and made faces at Tanchun triumphantly.

Xichun noticed the message in Daiyu's words: "Cousin, are you going back to Yangzhou? Are you never coming back?"

Her little mouth was pouted and her eyes had begun to turn red, as if Daiyu was going to leave tomorrow.

Daiyu wanted to slap her lips and secretly blame herself for bringing up this topic. However, if she brought it up now, they would be mentally prepared.

She hurriedly comforted Xichun: "It's not like I won't come back forever. My father can't stay in that position forever. One day he will return to Beijing to report on his work. When the time comes, I will be able to send you invitations and go out to play together."

Speaking of going out to play, Xichun's eyes suddenly lit up, and she forgot her sadness, and said expectantly: "Then cousin, don't forget it! Speaking of which, I haven't been to the Lin Mansion yet!"

"That's right! None of us have been there!" Yingchun was also joining in the fun, with no intention of helping Daiyu or comforting her two sisters.

Daiyu glared at Yingchun and promised, "When I return to Beijing, I will definitely invite you to come and play!"

"it is good!"

Yingchun winked at Daiyu: Don’t you feel guilty for making promises to a child like this?

Daiyu was not to be outdone and immediately glared back: Sister will come back one day!

The two of them exchanged glances, and Xichun put aside her sorrow of separation and started to eat the delicious food on the table.

Tanchun was a little worried. She asked hesitantly, "Then...can we continue to live in this yard in the future?"

Daiyu and Yingchun looked at Tanchun at the same time. Daiyu patted her shoulder sympathetically and comforted her: "A blacksmith must be strong himself!"

Just when Tanchun was about to say something, Xichun's exclamation interrupted her: "Cousin! Your longevity noodles are going to clumping!"

Everyone looked at the noodles on the table. The original half bowl of noodles had expanded to a full bowl. Daiyu couldn't help laughing and urged everyone to eat quickly.

Tanchun didn't know what to say, so the four of them sat together and spent a lively and unforgettable night.

Daiyu was soaking in the wooden barrel, and the heat made her face red. At this time, Bai Shao came in from outside, and she looked at Daiyu, and her eyes seemed to have something to say.

Daiyu narrowed her eyes slightly, knowing that Baishao had something to report, so she signaled Luluo and Qinghe to go out.

"Miss, there's a letter from Doctor Yu saying that the master of the Qin Mansion might be in trouble."

Daiyu was not surprised to hear this, as this had been expected. She asked calmly, "Doctor Yu said, how long can it be delayed?"

"If he had treated him personally, he might have lived another half a month longer."

Daiyu calculated the time and realized that it had been several days since she delivered the medicine to Qin Keqing.

That medicine also came from the magical world, and its effect was extremely overbearing. It was not that the medicine was too strong and harmful to Qin Keqing's body, but that it fundamentally changed Qin Keqing's physique.

This bottle of potion has a very magical name. Daiyu feels that the alchemist named it too casually: it is similar to "Ugly is Unhappy", and is called "Giving Birth to a Boy Makes You Vomit".

As the name suggests, after taking this medicine, all the children Qin Keqing will give birth to in the future will only be boys.

When she first received the potion, she secretly complained for a long time. She felt that if this potion appeared in the original world, it would definitely cause some people to rush to buy it.

It’s a pity that Daiyu has never seen the relevant medicinal herbs.

"That should be enough time." She muttered softly, then looked up at Bai Shao, "Anything else?"

"Manager Huang has been investigating the Xue family's manager these days and has made some progress. Over the past month, Jingzhao Yin's people have been investigating the theft case, but they haven't found any valuable information yet, and those things haven't appeared again. Now these managers are preparing to retire and return home."

"All of them? No one wants to stay in the Shenjing city?" Daiyu asked.

"Yes, they might be worried that staying in Beijing would cause trouble. If they were discovered by the Xue family, they might even lose their lives. They have a lot of wealth."

After hearing this, Daiyu's lips curled up into a subtle smile. She told Bai Shao: "Keep watching them, and when they sell their property in the capital and prepare to leave, tell me again."

"Yes!"

After Bai Shao finished her report, she was about to go out to call Qing He and Lu Luo, but Dai Yu spoke again: "What happened at the Shi family? Didn't they say before that they would send Shi Xiang Yun to stay for a while?"

Bai Shao recalled and said truthfully, "Ever since that little maid took our money last time and mentioned Shi Xiangyun in front of Old Lady Shi, we cut off this connection and have no more contact with that little maid.

The Shi family said that Miss Shi wanted to learn housekeeping from Mrs. Shi Hou, so she might not come to the Jia family for a while. Miss, should we send someone to the Shi family?"

Daiyu frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Originally I was just curious and wanted to meet Shi Xiangyun as soon as possible, so I did something. Well, since this is the decision of the Shi family, I won't force it. Let Qinghe and the others come in, I've already washed myself."

When Daiyu returned to the bedroom, Yingchun walked in from outside wearing a nightgown and looking cold.
