[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

Chapter 6

Aunt Liu's face was extremely ugly, she pointed at Xiu Niang and scolded: "You little whore, who ordered you to do so?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were a little ugly, Wang Momo said with a stern face: "My aunt should also be more respectful, this can be said in front of the young lady."

Aunt Liu knew she had made a slip of the tongue, so she stood aside, looked at Daiyu and said, "Miss, I made this dress out of the materials in the library."

Daiyu knew about this a long time ago, but she didn't want Aunt Liu to say it directly.The embroiderer was also stunned, she originally thought that this matter must be torn up, but now she just let it go.

Left and right are not a big deal, Daiyu said to the embroiderer: "You have to do what you do, don't make a fuss about it, let me spare you for a while."

After speaking, he took Ren Xueyan down and placed her in the servant's room in the backyard.

Aunt Liu saw that Daiyu was completely partial to her, and she was very proud, thinking that she was right to curry favor with Daiyu recently.Seeing that the embroiderer was being taken down, he said, "It's better to kick her out than to wait for this bluffing girl."

Daiyu looked at Aunt Liu and said, "Bring me the ledger tomorrow."

"What." Aunt Liu's smiling face immediately froze, she couldn't believe what Daiyu said.

Daiyu looked at Aunt Liu, and said slowly: "My aunt will bring the ledger from the inner courtyard tomorrow. From now on, my aunt will manage the affairs of the inner courtyard, but you have to register with me to get the money for purchasing and other things."

Aunt Liu stood up suddenly, looked at Daiyu, and was speechless for a while.After a while, he said, "Miss, what do you mean by that?"

"That's what the name means. Is there anything else Aunt Liu wants to say?" Sitting on the couch, Daiyu looked at Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu let out a smile for a while, and said: "Miss is still young, let me take care of the inner courtyard."

Seeing Aunt Liu's insistence, Daiyu took out a booklet from the side and said: "On the fourth day of March, the vegetable gold is eight taels or six, and the mansion spends nine taels; Sometimes two; the seventh day of March," before Daiyu finished reading, Aunt Liu shouted, "Miss, stop talking."

Daiyu looked at Aunt Liu and said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's only a few taels of silver. It's just that if you don't want a penny today, you won't be greedy for two tomorrow. In the long run, the Lin family can't afford it." Daiyu saw Aunt Liu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her, she simply said: "Don't be discouraged, Auntie, I haven't told my father about this, and no one else knows except the people in this room."

Aunt Liu didn't know how this young lady who didn't go out of the gate knew how she was greedy for food money. She was terrified, and she knew that Miss Lin was the master's darling. Come down, just say that the account book and other things will be handed over early in the morning.

Since then, Aunt Liu has changed from a housekeeper in the inner courtyard to a housekeeper with keys.

It is said that the embroiderer was locked in the backyard, and the next day she asked Xueyan to ask to see Daiyu.

As soon as Daiyu entered the room, she saw her standing in front of her with her head bowed. Daiyu didn't speak, but just sat aside and looked at her.

The embroiderer has a pair of red phoenix eyes, but she is quite pretty. She looks about thirteen or fourteen years old. When she saw Daiyu, she said, "You made me laugh yesterday."

Daiyu smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, you can speak directly."

The embroiderer choked up and said, "Since I came to the Lin Mansion two years ago, I usually ignore other things except embroidering in my own room. But there are some things that can't be ignored if you don't want to. This time, Aunt Liu When no one else brought me a piece of cloth to make her a dress, I knew the satin was wrong when I saw it, because my wife once asked me to go to the warehouse to pick out two pieces of cloth to make clothes for the young lady. At that time, I thought this piece of cloth was too rich and colorful, so it was useless." Xiu Niang said that she looked at Daiyu and saw that her expression was normal, and continued: "Aunt Liu is now managing the inner courtyard, I am only a mere xiu Niang. So I did it anyway. I didn’t know that a woman came to me two days ago, saying that she told me that when I received the news, the whole house would be yelled that Aunt Liu had stolen my wife’s clothes.”

Daiyu heard this and asked, "Then why did you come to see me?"

Xiu Niang smiled and said: "Although I am a Xiu Niang, I also know that there are things that should be done and things that should not be done."

Daiyu asked again: "Then why don't you go directly to Aunt Liu and make it clear."

The embroidered lady looked at Daiyu and said: "Aunt Liu is just a temporary housekeeper, and Miss is the serious master of this house."

Daiyu laughed when she heard this, pointed at her and said, "How do you know that I will keep you? What if I kick you out directly, so what will you do!"

Xiu Niang said unhurriedly: "Miss is kind-hearted, it will never be like this."

Daiyu laughed again when she heard this, and said: "What a clever mouth, you said you didn't go out all day to concentrate on your work, but now it seems that you have been buried."

The embroiderer's expression did not change at all when she heard this, she looked directly at Daiyu and said, "If I tell Aunt Liu about this directly, I can't convince her without evidence. If I listen to the old woman, this Whether it works or not, I will not have a good life."

"Then you think I will believe it!" Daiyu asked.

Xiu Niang took out a money bag from her chest, Xueyan took it and handed it to Daiyu, who was quite heavy in her hand, but when she opened it, it was 30 taels of silver.

Xiu Niang said: "This is the deposit that the woman gave me. She said that if it is done, there will be half of it."

The monthly money of the wenches and women in the mansion is two taels of silver, and the monthly money for those who gain face is only three taels.This 30 taels is not a small amount.Ordinary people really can't get it.Daiyu was handed the purse to Xueyan and asked, "Do you know that woman?"

Xiu Niang said: "I don't know her, but I remember her appearance."

Daiyu stood up and looked at Xiuniang. This person had some guts to take the risk.He asked, "What's your name?"

Xiuniang replied, "My real name is Yangui."

"Good name, you stay here for now." Daiyu continued, "Tell me about that woman's appearance.

Yan Gui raised his head and said, "Miss, I can draw it."

"Xueyan, take the pen and ink." Daiyu said.

Yan Gui picked up the brush, and drew it within a stick of ink after dipping it in the ink.Daiyu looked at the face, Xueyan frowned and said: "It looks familiar, but I can't remember it."

Daiyu folded up the portrait, told Yan Gui Ansheng to stay here and not to cause trouble, and walked out with Xueyan.
