Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 215 The Origin of Humankind

Gu Mama took a deep breath and said, "Young lady, why did you ask me to come here? Is there something wrong?"

"Mammy, please tell us about menstrual water and where babies come from!"

When Grandma Gu heard this, her scalp went numb instantly.

This kind of thing is usually only revealed to the bride on the eve of her wedding, but now...

She glanced at the girls in front of her. Four of them had no mothers, and one had a mother but it was worse than having no mother.

Gu Mama's heart softened and she sighed again. She waved her hand at Daiyu in a bad tone and said, "Young lady, go and close the door!"

Daiyu knew she was in the wrong, so she stood up quickly, drove all the maids out, and closed the door.

Gu Mama cleared her throat and began to talk about the origin of mankind...

When Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun and Xichun left Daiyu's main room, it seemed as if a flood and a beast were chasing them.

Daiyu was still inside the room shouting, "Why are you running? It's almost time for dinner!"

The three of them paused when they heard this, but the next second, they ran even faster.

Nanny Gu took the tea handed to her by Daiyu and snorted to express her dissatisfaction.

Daiyu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam!"

Grandma Gu glared at her and said with a smile, "Forget it, you poor little things, I will bear the trouble for once!"

She patted Daiyu's hand to show that she was not angry, and then took the used teacup out with her.

Only Daiyu and Yingchun were left in the room.

Yingchun hooked Daiyu's little finger and said, "Thank you!"

"We are just friends!" Daiyu likes to deal with smart people. Yingchun can understand her intentions without her saying anything.

She remembered the pair of swords she had taken out in the morning, so she pulled them with her backhand, hooked her arm with Yingchun and walked towards the bedroom.

"Come with me, or you can say I was late in giving you your gift!"

The two of them walked around to the back of the bed, and Daiyu took out the sword case from the wooden box and put it in Yingchun's hand.

"Come on, it's dark in the back and we can't see clearly. Let's go out and take a look!"

Yingchun held the sword case, feeling the weight inside, with a dazed expression on her face.

Daiyu pushed her out without saying anything, and they both came to the inner room.

The orange afterglow of the setting sun shines through the window paper onto the wooden box, reflecting a golden glow.

Yingchun looked at the sword case, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Could this be... golden nanmu?"

Daiyu shook her head: "I put it in this box when I bought it. I don't even know what kind of wood it is."

Yingchun stroked the box, but put this question aside for the time being, because this sword box could never be shown to anyone.

The wooden box was not locked, so Yingchun opened the lid directly, revealing two swords inside, one long and one short.

She placed the box on the table and picked up the short sword impatiently. With a gentle pull, the sword came out of the sheath smoothly. The sword body trembled slightly, making a crisp sound.

She put the sword close to her ear again and flicked it lightly, making a pleasant buzzing sound.

Yingchun's face immediately broke into a delighted smile: "What a rare and good sword!"

Seeing Yingchun so happy, Daiyu was also happy for her from the bottom of her heart: "As long as you like it!"

Although it was a short sword, it was just right for Yingchun's petite figure. Although the long sword looked much longer, if Yingchun held it in her hand, she would find that it would be much more difficult to get used to than the short sword.

Yingchun stroked the phoenix pattern carved on the scabbard, which was exactly the same as the pattern on the sword case, and felt a little hesitant. She really liked this sword, but the pattern on the scabbard was really not right.

Daiyu noticed Yingchun's hesitation and felt a little annoyed that she had not checked it more carefully beforehand, otherwise this problem would not have occurred.

"Otherwise, you can wrap the scabbard with a piece of cloth and don't take the sword box out."

Yingchun stroked the scabbard again and nodded: "This is the only way."

And this box... is obviously a pair of swords. If I really want to give it to Wang Tingyu, I can't use this box.

She put the dagger back into the scabbard and put the scabbard back on the cabinet.

"It's better to put this sword box in your room first. In case I bring it back and get discovered, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause."

Daiyu glanced at the location of the sword box and nodded: "Aren't you going to give it to your son?"

"Stop teasing me! Besides, this is obviously a sword case for a pair of swords, but there's only one sword in it. What's the meaning? If you want to give it away, you should change the sword case!"

During dinner, Shi Xiangyun and the other two still had blushes on their faces, and they were obviously still shy.

Daiyu knew that they were shy and did not dare to tease them too much.

She guessed that this shy state would probably continue for several days.

At night, just after the first watch, Yingchun and Daiyu sat up almost at the same time.

The two smiled at each other, knowing that the other was about to leave.

"I will be going out for awhile."

"What a coincidence, so am I!"

The two of them tacitly stopped asking for details, quickly changed their clothes, and jumped out of the back window.

Yingchun tied the sword behind her back, which affected her movements a little, and she was almost discovered by the guards in the yard several times.

Daiyu flew towards the East Palace.

When she was almost at Qin Keqing's yard, she took out the peace locket from the warehouse.

She picked up a small stone and flicked it lightly on the window.

Not long after, Zhu Hui came out of the house. She looked around vigilantly and saw Daiyu standing in a corner of the yard waving at her. She withdrew the fierceness in her eyes and trotted to Daiyu's side.

"Girl! Why are you here at this time!"

"Has Sister Qin gone to bed yet?"

Zhu Hui shook her head: "Not yet! She was just talking about you, saying that you have Yingchun and Aunt Feng, and you have forgotten her, your good friend."

Daiyu couldn't suppress her smile and said teasingly, "Sister Qin is still a wife? If she is, then we are all unmarried women!"

After joking, she started to talk about business: "I came here today because I have something to ask you. I will go back to Yangzhou in early June, and I am not sure when I can return to Beijing. So I want to ask you if you are willing to follow Sister Qin."

Zhu Hui suddenly felt abandoned by Daiyu, and her eyes quickly filled with tears.

"Oh! Don't cry!" Daiyu hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped away her tears.

"It's not that I don't want you anymore, I just think that if you stay with Sister Qin all the time, your status will be a little awkward, so it's better for you to stay with Sister Qin completely.

I believe that if you stay with Sister Qin, she will not treat you unfairly and will trust you even more."

Zhu Hui also understood Daiyu's intention at this time. She lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "Miss, please give me some time to think about it."
