Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 225 Only the Horse Was Injured

Daiyu was annoyed by their quarrels, and she didn't think that Yingchun shouldn't know about this, so she nodded casually: "Okay, if she wants to go, she can go!"

Lan Rui caught Daiyu's action with her sharp eyes and shouted excitedly, "Miss, do you agree?"

Daiyu: ??? What did I agree to?

Under Lan Rui's insistence on force, they finally decided to draw lots to decide which four people would stay to watch over the yard.

Zijuan then stepped forward from behind and took a lottery ticket: "I won't go."

Daiyu waited for her to retreat to her side and asked, "Do you really not want to go, or do you feel that the sisters all want to go and you are embarrassed to argue?"

Daiyu's question attracted the attention of the other maids, and they all cast their eyes on Zijuan.

Zijuan had never encountered so many eyes staring at her before. Her cheeks turned slightly red, and she replied in a low voice: "I...I really don't want to go out."

Daiyu observed her expression carefully and found that when she mentioned going out, there was indeed an expression of resistance on her face. Then she realized that Zijuan was speaking the truth.

Some people just prefer to stay at home. Daiyu understands and respects this: "Well, since you don't want to go, then you can stay. Don't be too bored at home, read a book, practice calligraphy, or do some needlework. If you need anything, just tell Nanny Wang."

"Okay, girl!"

Zijuan stood behind the crowd, looking at Daiyu with admiration. She always felt that she was not as lively and likable as the other sisters, and that Daiyu would not take her affairs to heart.

Unexpectedly, Daiyu understood her so well!

If Daiyu knew what Zijuan was thinking at this moment, she would definitely shout: What a mistake!

Yingchun heard Bai Shao's reply and walked over to Daiyu: "Why do you suddenly want to see Lai Shangrong's fun?"

Daiyu cast a coquettish glance at her and smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes. I promise you will not regret following me."

When the results of the draw were announced, Luoluo and Danru looked dejected, while Qinghe, who also drew the lot to stay behind, was very calm.

Qiu Kui took the initiative to step forward and said, "Let me switch with Dan Ru. She can come back and tell me."

Before Daiyu could express her opinion, Danyu jumped up excitedly: "Really?"

Daiyu rubbed her temples and warned, "You can go if you want, but don't make such a fuss or act so startled!"

"Thank you, girl!" Danzhi pulled Qiukui and went to the back to talk in private.

Honglian stole a glance at Zijuan, then walked up to Daiyu and said, "Miss, I'd like to switch with Luluo too. I want to stay and accompany Zijuan."

"Good sister!" Luoluo was so happy that she didn't know what to say. She pulled Honglian's hand and shook it.

The four people who were responsible for staying behind went out one after another, and the remaining six gathered together, secretly planning to go somewhere else to play later.

Seeing this scene, Daiyu felt a little headache.

She complained to Yingchun innocently, "After they finish their assigned tasks every day, they often go back to the Lin Mansion! I don't restrict them on weekdays!"

Yingchun didn't find it strange, after all, she and her former comrades used to sneak out for supper during their training breaks. Recalling the days when they fought side by side, Yingchun's eyes became red.

Daiyu noticed Yingchun's mood change, turned around quietly, and slapped herself on the mouth a few times: I told you not to talk nonsense!

However, Yingchun quickly adjusted her mood and suggested with a smile: "Let's go, let's go change clothes!"

Daiyu, Yingchun and Baishao acted alone. They waited for Qinghe and Qiukui to enter the house before climbing out the back window and leaving.

A carriage had already been prepared outside the corner gate. Bai Shao drove the carriage, while Daiyu and Yingchun sat inside.

"If I had known this a day in advance, I could have brought Cloud Chaser over. It would have been more fun riding a horse then!"

Yingchun gently lifted a corner of the curtain and watched the carriage drive out of the back street. The voices outside gradually became noisier.

Her eyes sparkled with joy: "It's a blessing to be able to go out like this once in a while!"

At this point, they both sighed.

After a long while, Daiyu finally sighed, "It will definitely get better and better!"

The carriage stopped in front of a teahouse near Yongdingmen. Opposite the teahouse there was a small stall selling cakes and tea eggs.

When Daiyu smelled the fragrance, she suddenly felt that she had eaten her breakfast in vain.

"Second...Brother, I want to buy some tea eggs and cakes. Do you want some more?"

"Let's go together." Yingchun responded with a smile.

Bai Shao sent the carriage to the backyard and looked around the teahouse before she saw Daiyu and Yingchun, each of them walking into the teahouse holding a large paper bag.

She hurried forward and said angrily, "Sir! If you want to buy something, just let me buy it for you. Why did you go there in person?"

Daiyu stuffed the paper bag in her hand into Bai Shao's hand and said, "How can you be so delicate? It's not easy to get out during the day, just be casual. Let's go and find a private room by the window so that we can see clearly!"

At first the waiter looked a little unhappy when he saw them bringing a few bags of food, but when he saw the handful of silver coins in Daiyu's hand, his attitude immediately became attentive.

"Three distinguished guests in the private room upstairs!" the waiter called out loudly, waving the long scarf in his hand.

Daiyu walked to the window of the private room and looked down. She saw idle men walking around on both sides of the city gate.

She turned around and ordered, "First, a pot of good tea and four plates of snacks. We have a few friends coming over later, so you can bring them up. Excuse me, my last name is Dai."

The waiter took the silver coin handed over by Daiyu with both hands, put it into his sleeve, and did not forget to weigh it.

The reward alone amounted to nearly three taels of silver. The waiter smiled with a smile: "Okay, Master Dai, the tea will be here soon!"

Not long after, Daiyu's maids also walked into the private room.

Daiyu looked at their makeup and almost laughed out loud: "Haha! Who started this, putting on this kind of beard makeup! How many horses have you ruined by cutting off so much horsetail hair!"

Lan Rui scratched the beard on his face unnaturally: "Master, I saw that you dressed like this last time and it was very interesting, so I learned it! And then they all snatched it from me!"

Lan Rui pointed at the other sisters unconvinced, while they looked at her with a smile, as if to say "What can you do to me?"

Daiyu quickly tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, anyway, the only ones hurt are the horses, let them use it! Come and try these pancakes and tea eggs, they taste pretty good!"

She turned around and asked Bai Shao, "Did they tell me the exact time Lai Shangrong would leave?"

Bai Shao shook her head, indicating that she was not sure yet.

"Forget it, let's just go out for fun."

Daiyu pulled Yingchun to sit by the window, and quietly pointed towards the city gate, asking Yingchun to pay attention to the idle men who were pretending to walk around casually.

"It all depends on them later!"
