Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Qingwen followed Linji out of the inner courtyard and asked, "Brother Linji, do you think I should also talk to the girl and ask for a new name?"

"Why change the name?" Lin Ji was a little puzzled.

"Look at Lan Rui and the others, their names all have colors and the grass radical in them. I'm just a lone goose that doesn't fit in." Qingwen lowered her head with a sad look on her face.

"Look at Zijuan, her name doesn't even have the grass radical! Don't let your imagination run wild. Since the girl didn't bring it up, it means she thinks there's no need for you to change it!"

After hearing this, Qingwen jumped three feet high as if the clouds had cleared and returned to her room excitedly.

Although she didn't need to change her name for now, when she was thinking about it just now, she realized her lack of vocabulary. She made up her mind to read more books, not to speak fluently, but at least to be able to follow up on what the girl said in the future.

On the other side, Daiyu did not forget Baishao and Zhuhui. She gave each of them half a sweet potato and a few chestnuts to fill their stomachs first, and then began to talk about the tasks they were about to carry out.

Daiyu wanted Qin Keqing to take these two maids with her in the name of the Qin family. With the help of these two maids, she would not have to worry about Jia Zhen's entanglement.

"First, you will stay in the courtyard and learn the rules from Madam Liao. Don't show up in the next few days. I will let Lin Ji teach you the light body skills.

I will tell Qin that you know martial arts. But you still have to stay away from her maids." Daiyu pondered for a moment and decided to send two more people to secretly protect Bai Shao and Zhu Hui in turn.

After all, she didn't want the maid she had carefully trained to be harmed by Jia Zhen.

Baishao and Zhuhui nodded in unison, indicating that they understood Daiyu's arrangement.

After the two maids left, Lan Rui walked into the main room and asked Daiyu in confusion: "Miss, our martial arts are obviously stronger than theirs, why don't you let us carry out the mission?"

"Do you know why I don't want Xue Baochai to enter Lixiangyuan?" Daiyu asked a question that seemed completely unrelated to Lan Rui.

Lan Rui scratched her head, confused by Daiyu's question, and could only guess: "Is it because you don't like her?"

"It's not a matter of liking or disliking her. I just regard her as someone we won't have any contact with." Daiyu shook her head slightly, first denying Lan Rui's guess, and then explained, "She is a very cunning person. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally. This kind of thing is too subjective, and it's hard to come up with evidence.

Take Honglian and Zijuan for example, they are considered to be secluded, but people in the mansion still know about their existence. Do you think Xue Baochai doesn't know? Believe it or not, she had already noticed Honglian when she came to Lixiangyuan before. "

Lan Rui was stunned and stammered, "No... I can't!"

"Look, you're not sure yourself." Daiyu stirred the brazier and took out another sweet potato. She gave half of it to Lan Rui and added some firewood.

"This mission is not easy. Although Bai Shao and Zhu Hui look ordinary, I am still worried and have to send people to protect them secretly. What I am most worried about is that they fail to protect Qin and get hurt instead. The reputation and innocence of a girl is so important, I can't take this risk!"

"So serious?!" Lan Rui showed a shocked expression on her face.

Daiyu was rarely willing to say a few more words to Lan Rui's rough explanation: "Let's talk about Xue Baochai. When we go to the East Palace as a guest next time, if she recognizes Honglian or Zijuan and says directly that the maidservant beside Qin looks familiar, as if she has seen it beside me before, what will others think of me?

Afterwards, she might just say that she said what she meant, and what she said was what she felt. What can you do about it? Everyone in the family knows that she is a good person, so what can we blame her for? "

Daiyu knew the subsequent plot. It was Xue Dahan who casually told everyone about Baoyu's relationship with Jiang Yuhan. Wasn't it Xue Baochai who used the same words to shirk responsibility at that time?

Lan Rui was confused by the twists and turns here, and it took her a long time to utter a word: "How could she do this!"

Daiyu looked at her meaningfully: "Now you understand why I don't want to contact her! There is an old saying that goes, if it is only about the mind, there is no perfect person in the world. Whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally, I will not give her any chance to recognize me, do you understand?"

"Girl, what is idealism?"

Daiyu nodded at Lan Rui's head in annoyance: "Silly girl, I can only feel at ease when you are by my side! Idealism is what you think in your heart.

For example, your elder brother Linji may secretly desire you but not put it into action, which is just wishful thinking. But if he brings you food and tries to please you every day, then he is actually taking action! "

"Oh! Girl, you are teasing me again!" Lan Rui said coquettishly, covering her face and ran out.

However, she still didn't quite understand, so she decided to go find Lin Ji and repeat to him exactly what Daiyu had said to her.

Lingji patted his silly girl's head lovingly, broke it down for her and explained it again until she understood it completely.

Lan Rui finally realized that it was often difficult to find solid evidence for someone else's unintentional words.

If the girl really lent these familiar faces to Qin, it would be equivalent to interfering in the inner house affairs of the East Palace, and the evidence is solid. Even if the girl said that Qin took the initiative to ask for it, it would offend the master of the East Palace.

The most terrifying thing is that once this matter gets out, the consequences will be disastrous! Maybe the girl's life will be over!

Lan Rui shuddered when she thought of this. She looked at Lin Ji and saw that he also had a serious expression on his face, and he obviously realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Brother Linji! Am I holding the girl back?" Lan Rui asked anxiously.

What she was most worried about was not her own safety, but the fear that she would implicate the girl.

"Silly girl!" Lin Ji came back to his senses and smiled at her gently, "You don't have to compete with the girl from the Xue family, and don't worry about dragging her down. You just need to remember not to act impulsively and play to your strengths!"

"My strengths?" Lan Rui tilted her head and looked at Lin Ji in confusion.

Lin Ji took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the black dust off Lan Rui's hands, reminding her: "Yes! Don't forget why the girl chose you in the first place!"

Lan Rui snatched the handkerchief, wiped it roughly on her hands, and stuffed it back to Lin Ji, saying, "I know! I have finished today's work. I am going back to the mansion to practice martial arts!"

After saying that, she waved to Lingji and turned to walk towards the corner door leading to the back street.

Only Lin Ji was left, watching Lan Rui's back as she left. The sun shone from behind him, and the shadow covered the emotions on his face.
