Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Milk tea is the modern milk tea. Once, Daiyu was craving for milk tea and the farm happened to deliver some fresh milk, so she tried to mix some.

Unexpectedly, Xichun, who had a keen nose, discovered it and took a sip without caring that it was Daiyu's cup. As a result, she became addicted to it. After that, every time she came to Lixiangyuan, she would pester Daiyu to drink this milk tea.

The three springs all did it themselves and didn't need the maids to help them. The careful Honglian noticed that Xue Baochai's hands were still empty.

Then, Honglian handed a cup of warm milk tea to Xue Baochai and said, "Miss Baochai, please have some milk tea."

Because Yuan Jie'er needed milk every day and Sanchun came often, the milk on the farm was delivered once every other day, but was now freshly squeezed and delivered every morning. The kitchen never ran out of milk.

At night, the girl would ask the maids to divide up the remaining milk and never keep any overnight.

In just half a year, the maids had grown noticeably taller. Even though they often returned to the Lin residence to practice, their skin became more delicate and translucent.

Xue Baochai took the cup of milk tea, her eyes lingered on Honglian's face for a moment, and then looked at Zijuan who was standing upright with her hands clasped. She couldn't help thinking: These two maids are so outstanding! Isn't Daiyu worried about raising a tiger as a threat?

She turned to look at Daiyu, and saw that although she was young, she already showed signs of being stunningly beautiful. Her heart sank again: Yes, she was not bad either, so what was there to worry about?

She gathered her sleeves to cover the exposed part of her snow-white wrist, picked up the milk tea and took a sip. The refreshing milk taste immediately spread in her mouth, making her like the taste.

"Sister Daiyu, what's in this milk tea? Why is it so refreshing?"

"I thought this milk is hot, so I added some mint to neutralize it. Even so, you still can't drink too much." Daiyu turned to Xichun and said, "Especially you! Drinking one cup a day is enough. How can you drink it like water like you do!"

When Xue Baochai heard that milk tea was hot, she immediately put down her teacup, and Xichun also put down the teapot awkwardly.

In fact, the small kitchen is used to it, and only prepares one cup per person each time. Even if there is some left in the teapot, it is actually not much.

Xichun rolled her eyes and looked at Baochai curiously: "Sister Baochai, why don't you drink anymore? Don't you like it?"

Xue Baochai smiled and replied, "Yes, I don't like anything too sweet."

"Really? That's great! Can you give it to me?" The two happily exchanged cups.

Daiyu lowered her head, a mocking smile on her lips. She was worried that someone would find out that she had a fever, which would affect her chances in the draft.

She looked at the pear beside her and motioned Honglian to take it away.

Soon, plates of pears cut into small pieces were brought up, like crystal clear crystals. Xichun finished her milk tea, ate some salty snacks to change her taste, and then picked up the plate and tasted the pears she had been staring at for a long time.

Ruhua was originally worried that Xichun might be unhealthy if she ate too much, but Daiyu waved her hand and said, "Pears are cold in nature, so it's good for her to eat a little!"

Ruhua then felt relieved and stepped aside to stand with Luluo and the others.

"Sister Daiyu, these pears are much more delicious than last year! And your people know how to take care of them." Xichun gave her comments while eating.

Tanchun knocked her head and said, "Even food can't stop your mouth!"

Xichun glanced at Nanny Gu standing nearby with a guilty conscience and whispered, "This is in my sister's yard, and no one else can see it."

At this time, Gu Mama said: "Rules and habits are developed in daily life, and Miss Xue has done a good job in this regard!"

Xue Baochai nodded and smiled modestly, saying, "Madam, you are too kind! You can just call me Baochai."

After seeing off Sanchun and Xue Baochai, Daiyu turned back to the yard and told the gatekeepers to close the door.

She didn't see that Xue Baochai walked a short distance and suddenly turned around to look towards Lixiangyuan.

Yingchun first looked at the tightly closed Lixiang Courtyard and asked in confusion, "Sister Baochai, what are you looking at?"

Xue Baochai turned around and asked calmly, "Nothing. Sister Yingchun, is the door of Lixiang Courtyard usually closed like this?"

Yingchun naturally knew what she wanted to ask, and answered, "Yes, Lixiang Courtyard has been like this since Daiyu came into the mansion. Even Baoyu rarely comes here!"

Xue Baochai nodded thoughtfully, and said goodbye to Sanchun when she reached the gate of the courtyard.

As soon as Daiyu returned to the inner courtyard, Luluo came over in a hurry and said to her, "Miss! Just now, Jinying, who was beside Miss Baochai, asked me how to make milk tea!"

"Did you tell her?" Daiyu asked lightly.

Luoluo lowered her head and said in distress, "I thought that literally speaking, the ingredients of milk tea are not difficult to guess. It's just the formula and proportion that are different, so I told her that it is made of milk and black tea."

After hearing this, Daiyu smiled and lifted Luluo's chin, saying, "You understand the reason, why are you still worried that I will blame you! This milk tea is not my only product, and I don't expect to make money from it."

Afterwards, Daiyu returned to the study, wrote a few lines on a piece of paper, and handed it to Lan Rui: "Give this to Lingji, he knows what to do! Also, ask Gu Mama to come over."

Just as she finished speaking, Gu Mama came in from outside. She happened to hear Daiyu's words and said with a smile, "No need! I'm here!"

Daiyu signaled Lan Rui to go out and do what she had just told her to do. After Lan Rui left, she asked Gu Mama, "Mama, is there something wrong?"

Nanny Gu took out a silver note from her sleeve, handed it to Daiyu, and said, "This is a gift from Miss Xue today."

Daiyu smiled and glanced at the face value of the banknote. She had no intention of accepting it. She said, "Since it has been given to Madam, it belongs to Madam. What do you want to do with it for me?"

Seeing that Daiyu was calm and didn't seem to be pretending, Nanny Gu continued, "I heard something else in her words. She seemed to think that it would be a waste of my ability if I left the palace after being promoted to the sixth rank. If I stay in the palace, I will definitely become the head nanny of a palace."

After hearing this, Daiyu stroked the jade pendant with her hand and smiled slightly: "If Mammy becomes the head of a palace, then doesn't she want to be the queen of a palace? This ambition is really big!"

Gu Ma nodded and agreed, "Girl Xue is so cunning that she wouldn't say it so bluntly. At least she won't leave any evidence before I become hers."

"How did the nanny answer her?" Daiyu asked curiously.

"I'm only saying that there are special Si Yan Si and Si Lu Si in the palace, which are responsible for recording the names of palace people and conveying imperial edicts. I was given this as a reward by the emperor's oral order. I'm sure the palace has already recorded it in detail." There was no wave of emotion in Nanny Gu's words, nor any smugness of being rejected.
